Running things from the command line is different from running them with nagios.

I do not have access to services with the same name but I do have a MSSQL service with a dollar sign in the name.

Here is now the check_nt command is defined

Code: Select all

# 'check_nt' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_nt
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
        }

Here is how the service is setup.

Code: Select all

check_command           check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l "MSSQL$"$"SQLEXPRESS"

And it works just fine.

The only other thing I can think of is if you are running an older version of NSClient++, that could cause the issue if there is a bug.

DC_Connector_NANI2.0

Failed to open service eSPNaniConnector: 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

define service{
	use				production-service
	host_name			DALSRVPRDIIS04
	service_description		DC_Connector_NANI2.0
	display_name	        	DC_Connector_NANI2.0
	check_command			check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l eSPNaniConnector\$$DC
	}

Run the check from Nagios and hopefully is will show you the command that was sent to NSClient++ in the nsclient.log file and let us know if the $ was not sent.

Another thing to do is to run through different command definitions for the services to see if we can get one of the combinations to work.

Try modifying the command for the service until it stops cutting off at the $.
Test each one of these examples.

Code: Select all

check_command         check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l eSPNaniConnector\$DC
check_command         check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l 'eSPNaniConnector$DC'
check_command         check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l "eSPNaniConnector\$DC"

Another option it to upgrade the plugin to the latest version.
My system that is functioning, the plugin version is 2.2.1 so try that.

And, upgrade NSClient++ on the Windows system if you are running an older version.
