Problem with Check NRPE from XI Core

[rogersochieng]

I want to get some performance counters in Windows so I did a test check in CLI

[root@centosnagiois static]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H AFDBLYNCDB01.afdb.local -p 5666 -c CheckCounter -a "\\MSSQL\$LYNCARC:Resource Pool Stats(*)\\CPU usage %" ShowAll MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=20

OK: \MSSQL$LYNCARC:Resource Pool Stats(*)\CPU usage %: 0|'\MSSQL$LYNCARC:Resource Pool Stats(*)\CPU usage %'=0;10;20

But when I create the same in Nagios XI Core I get below error. Please advise
COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H AFDBLYNCDB01.afdb.local -p 5666 -c CheckCounter -a "\\MSSQL\\\$LYNCARC:Resource Pool Stats\(\*\)\\CPU usage %" ShowAll MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=20
OUTPUT: CRIT: Counter not found: \MSSQL\$LYNCARC:Resource Pool Stats\(\*\)\CPU usage %: -1073738824: The specified object was not found on the computer.

Are you using the Test Check Command from the CCM? If so, it may not always work because it escapes certain characters, as can be seen below:

Code: Select all

... Resource Pool Stats\(\*\) ...

Try saving the command and click Apply Config, then let the check run normally and see the output.

Indeed I was testing with CCM Test Check Command.

I went ahead and saved below argument
"\\MSSQL\$LYNCARC:Resource Pool Stats(*)\\CPU usage %" ShowAll MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=20


When I look in view I see that that it has escaped ( and * character below and failed

CRIT: Counter not found: \MSSQL\$LYNCARC:Resource Pool Stats\(\*\)\CPU usage %$: -1073738824: The specified object was not found on the computer.

Please see my answer in this thread: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 13#p118913

Also as a general rule we ask to keep all related responses in one thread so we can deal with them in one place instead of having possibly double the responses to a single issue.
