Whatever combination I'm trying to make I'm unable to use a dollar in one of my arguments. I'm using "filter=start_type = 'auto'" and excluding the delayed services.
One of the problematic services is 'MSSQL$HPWJA'

So without escaping or double dollar:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe_v3 -2 -P 10240 -H hostname -t 30 -c check_service -a "filter=start_type = 'auto' and name not in ('Bonjour Service','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64','DocAve 6 Report Service','DocAve 6 Media Service','gupdate','MSSQL$HPWJA','NetTcpPortSharing','RemoteRegistry','ShellHWDetection','sppsvc','stisvc','TBS','TrustedInstaller','wuauserv')"
CRITICAL: MSSQL$HPWJA=stopped (auto), delayed ()

With double dollar:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe_v3 -2 -P 10240 -H hostname -t 30 -c check_service -a "filter=start_type = 'auto' and name not in ('Bonjour Service','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64','DocAve 6 Report Service','DocAve 6 Media Service','gupdate','MSSQL$$HPWJA','NetTcpPortSharing','RemoteRegistry','ShellHWDetection','sppsvc','stisvc','TBS','TrustedInstaller','wuauserv')"
CRITICAL: MSSQL$HPWJA=stopped (auto), delayed ()

With double backslash and double dollar:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe_v3 -2 -P 10240 -H hostname -t 30 -c check_service -a "filter=start_type = 'auto' and name not in ('Bonjour Service','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64','DocAve 6 Report Service','DocAve 6 Media Service','gupdate','MSSQL\\$$HPWJA','NetTcpPortSharing','RemoteRegistry','ShellHWDetection','sppsvc','stisvc','TBS','TrustedInstaller','wuauserv')"
CRITICAL: MSSQL$HPWJA=stopped (auto), delayed ()

With single backslash and double dollar:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe_v3 -2 -P 10240 -H hostname -t 30 -c check_service -a "filter=start_type = 'auto' and name not in ('Bonjour Service','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64','DocAve 6 Report Service','DocAve 6 Media Service','gupdate','MSSQL\$$HPWJA','NetTcpPortSharing','RemoteRegistry','ShellHWDetection','sppsvc','stisvc','TBS','TrustedInstaller','wuauserv')"
CRITICAL: MSSQL$HPWJA=stopped (auto), delayed ()

With double dollar in double quotes:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe_v3 -2 -P 10240 -H hostname -t 30 -c check_service -a "filter=start_type = 'auto' and name not in ('Bonjour Service','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64','DocAve 6 Report Service','DocAve 6 Media Service','gupdate','MSSQL"$$"HPWJA','NetTcpPortSharing','RemoteRegistry','ShellHWDetection','sppsvc','stisvc','TBS','TrustedInstaller','wuauserv')"
CRITICAL: MSSQL$HPWJA=stopped (auto), delayed ()

Not sure why the double dollar doesn't work as multiple posts suggest that is the solution? (such as https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=11763) Please advice how to handle this problem.

I assume this is a check being run against NSClient++? Which version of NSClient++ are you using? I have been unable to replicate this with the older 2.15 version of check_nrpe or the newer 3.0.1 version of check_nrpe against an NSClient++ 0.5.0.62 machine. The \$ works as an escape sequence for me:

Code: Select all

I (0.5.0.62 2016-09-14) seem to be doing fine...

Though of course there will be slightly different escaping that needs to be done when setting it up in XI.

Nsclient 0.5.1.22, nrpe 3.0.1, XI 5.4

Updated my NSClient++ to match yours, and still can't replicate:

Code: Select all

[root@xi-stable session]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.67.99
I (0.5.1.22 2017-04-06) seem to be doing fine...

CRITICAL: RSyslogWindowsAgent=stopped (auto), MSSQL$HPWJA2=stopped (auto), delayed ()

Though reading your OP, I don't see \$ used. I doubt that will be enough for the XI end of things, but does that work in your CLI executions?

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:27 pm**

Ok, started to doubt myself I did indeed not try \$ which does work in cli. So does it need an extra \ in XI CCM?

Posted: **Mon Apr 24, 2017 9:55 am**

An extra $ actually. Here's what i've got for my $ARG2$ value using the default check_nrpe command:

Code: Select all

-a "filter=start_type = 'auto' and name not in ('Bonjour Service','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32','clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64','DocAve 6 Report Service','DocAve 6 Media Service','gupdate','MSSQL\$$HPWJA2','NetTcpPortSharing','RemoteRegistry','ShellHWDetection','sppsvc','stisvc','TBS','TrustedInstaller','wuauserv')"

Which seems to be working.
