Nagios Support Forum

So we also have this check defined for services running on alot of the IIS servers.

define service{
use production-service
host_name DALSRVPRDIIS02, DALSRVPRDIIS07
service_description IA_Connector_NANI2.0
display_name IA_Connector_NANI2.0
check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l eSPNaniConnector\$$MN
}

it is getting the following error on nagios page


MN_Connector_NANI2.0
Perform Extra Service Actions
UNKNOWN 2019-11-19 14:35:28 3d 17h 7m 12s 2/2 Failed to open service eSPNaniConnector: 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.



HOWEVER this check reverted to 1248 rather than using 12489


executing without port
root@dalsrvitmon03:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nt -H DALSRVPRDIIS02 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l eSPNaniConnector\$MN
connect to address DALSRVPRDIIS02 and port 1248: Connection refused
could not fetch information from server

with port defined and not a double $

attached is my check_nt config file nt.cfg

Ok, because your $ARG1$ is escaped with single quotes here I believe you need to change the escaping to just

Code: Select all

define command {
	command_name    check_nt
	command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -p 12489 -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -v '$ARG1$' $ARG2$
}

I believe you need to change the escaping to just

Code: Select all

check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l eSPNaniConnector$$MN

Changed the check to and still no difference.

check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l eSPNaniConnector$$MN




I then ran the command from terminal

root@dalsrvitmon03:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_nt -H DALSRVPRDIIS02 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l eSPNaniConnector$$MN -p 12489
Failed to open service eSPNaniConnector845MN: 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

root@dalsrvitmon03:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_nt -H DALSRVPRDIIS02 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l eSPNaniConnector$$MN
connect to address DALSRVPRDIIS02 and port 1248: Connection refused
could not fetch information from server

here is my services.cfg file

This is nagios core 3

we installed using ubuntu packages.

Based no how your configs are setup, I'm going to recommend changing it back to then change the check_command to the following Then restart nagios

You cannot run these special escaping commands the same way from the command line because Nagios is going to see the $ and try to think it is a Macro, this doesn't work the same running from the CLI

no change.

i modified it to be the following like above


# 'check_nt' command definition
define command {
command_name check_nt
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -p 12489 -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}

Please try changing it to this:

DE? do you mean MN?

Yes, that was a typo, use MN.

-l "eSPNaniConnector$"$"MN"

I changed it, restarted nagios3 using service nagios3 restart and tested. did not work


define service{
