having trouble using strings on return

Hmm, can you try wrapping the user macro in double quotes in the service definition to see if this is going to fix the issue?

Code: Select all

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       alphprdfuse1i
        service_description             Container Delta FADEC Broker Health
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_remote_container_broker_health!-a '--user deltafadec --password B@dM0nk3y --url http://localhost:9093/jolokia --mbean org.apache.activemq:type=Broker,brokerName=amq,service=Health --attribute CurrentStatus --string --critical "$USER3$"'
        }

Hi lmiltchev
I've attached the screen shot. thanks again

[lmiltchev]

Have you tried wrapping the user macro in double quotes?

[gmills]

actually yes, I tried double and single quotes

NRPE is still seeing the splat ! as a field delimiter ????

[lmiltchev]

How is "check_remote_container_broker_health" defined on the remote box?

[gmills]

Code: Select all

command[check_remote_container_broker_health]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_jmx4perl $ARG1$ $ARG2$

[1563223708] Running command: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_jmx4perl --user deltamro --password F@c3B00k --url http://localhost:9092/jolokia --mbean org.apache.activemq:type=Broker,brokerName=amq,service=Health --attribute CurrentStatus --string --critical 'Good'
[1563223708] Command completed with return code 2 and output: CRITICAL - [org.apache.activemq:type=Broker,brokerName=amq,service=Health,CurrentStatus] : 'Good' matches threshold 'Good'
[1563223708] Return Code: 2, Output: CRITICAL - [org.apache.activemq:type=Broker,brokerName=amq,service=Health,CurrentStatus] : 'Good' matches threshold 'Good'

Question, does the NRPE system need to be compiled or built with some option to allow this to take place?

[lmiltchev]

OK, try this:

1. Modify your command to look like this:

Code: Select all

command[check_remote_container_broker_health]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_jmx4perl $ARG1$ '!$ARG2$'

Save, exit, and restart NRPE (or xinetd, depending on how you are running NRPE) so that changes can take effect.

2. In your service, pass everything in $ARG1$, but "Good". Pass "Good" in $ARG2$. Don't pass "!Good" - the "!" is already in $ARG2$ on the remote box.

This *should* work, at least it worked for us in-house.

        }

Code: Select all

define service{
        use                             generic-service
