passing strings to remote NRPE server not working using !

[gmills]

Hello,

when passing args remotely do you need to escape the arguments leading ! character?

Code: Select all

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       alphprdfuse1i
        service_description             Container PassThru Broker Health
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_remote_container_broker_health!-a '--user passthru --password B@dC0mpany --url http://localhost:9090/jolokia --mbean org.apache.activemq:type=Broker,brokerName=amq,service=Health --attribute CurrentStatus --string --critical !Good''
        }

I tried escaping with \ char but doesn't work.

Code: Select all

        use                             generic-service

        }
