NSClient CheckServiceState issue

[rajasegar]

NagiosXI 2012R2.9
check_nrpe Version: 2.12
NSClient version 0,4,1,102

Can someone advice me how to check Windows Service Name that has () in the name?
I know I can use the short name but I want to use the long Desc.
Using Nscp test it seem fine but from check_nrpe it does not work

Without brackets in the name, works fine
[nagios@nagiosdevxi1 libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H 10.103.4.22 -c CheckServiceState -a "Corona 76 Server" ShowAll=Long
OK: Corona 76 Server: started

With brackets does not work
[nagios@nagiosdevxi1 libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H 10.111.1.111 -c CheckServiceState -a "Corona 76 xMi Service (corona 7.6)" ShowAll=Long
CRITICAL: Corona 76 xMi Service (corona 7.6): not found (critical)

I have tried escaping, doubling the brackets still does not work.

Thanks

I may be mistaken, but last I tried, service name was the only option to match and not description. You may try something like the link below, but since your service has spaces in the name I don't believe this will work too well.

I tried and both service and description works in most cases.
Based on your link I tried the $$ but does not work also.
check_nrpe_win!CheckServiceState!"Corona 76 xMi Service $$corona 7.6$$"!

The workaround would be to use the service name.
Hope someone has other pointers on how to get this to work.

I did some tests from the command line and it doesn't seem to have a problem with brackets

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.128 -c CheckServiceState -a "NSClient++ (x64)" ShowAll=Long
OK: NSClient++ (x64): started

That example is using the service Display name

The support guys gave me the wrong server screenshot.
In this server, the shortname was the same but Long Description was different.

Please close this ticket.
