Hi Friends,

I am configuring check_process_memory.sh in my nagios server.
but i am getting following error and also no out put is returned [screenshot attached] :
"
[root@nagios libexec]# ./check_process_memory.sh -H 192.168.160.129 -P nscp.exe -w 5000 -c 6000

"

This plugin is actually running check_nt, which is actually a windows checking utility:

command="\\$perfcount_name($process)\\$perfcount_value"
memory=`$pluginpath/check_nt -H $hostname -p $port -v COUNTER -l "$command" | tr -d '\n'`
mb=`echo "scale=0; $memory/1024000"|bc -l`

Is there a reason why you are not just running the check directly with check_nt?

Hi abrist,

How i can fix this issue and can configure?

[abrist]

Could you answer my previous question:

Is there a reason why you are not just running the check directly with check_nt?

Also, do you have a password configured for your nsclient connection?

hi abrist,

I am new to nagios, i dont know the answer to your question. i was searching in google find out the solution.

And I dont have password configured to my nsclient.

First, lets make sure that you can connect to the remote host from the nagios server using check_nt. Run the following command from the cli on the nagios server:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.168.160.129 -p 12489 -v CLIENTVERSION

If it does not work, check your windows nsclient ini file for password=<password>, and then try running the command with the specified password (I think it defaults to 'password'):

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.168.160.129 -p 12489 -s <password> -v CLIENTVERSION

If that does not work, check to see if the port is open:

Code: Select all

nmap 192.168.160.129 -p 12489

Also, make sure the nsclient service is running on the remote host.

When i run the command, i got the following output :

[root@nagios libexec]# ./check_nt -H 192.168.160.129 -p 12489 -v CLIENTVERSION
NSClient++ 0,4,1,73 2012-12-17

Alright, now check against a COUNTER:

Code: Select all

./check_nt -H 192.168.160.129 -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\Process(explorer.exe)\\Working Set"

Hi Abrist,
When I run the above command i got o in return :

[root@nagios libexec]# ./check_nt -H 192.168.160.129 -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\Process(explorer.exe)\\Working Set"
