NSClient - ERROR: Could not get value

Post by hillhealthcenter »

Uptime service check on one host is not working anymore.

I checked the nsclient.ini file

Code: Select all

; Undocumented section


[/modules]

; CheckDisk - CheckDisk can check various file and disk related things. The current version has commands to check Size of hard drives and directories.
CheckDisk = 1

; Event log Checker. - Check for errors and warnings in the event log. This is only supported through NRPE so if you plan to use only NSClient this wont help you at all.
CheckEventLog = 1

; Check External Scripts - A simple wrapper to run external scripts and batch files.
CheckExternalScripts = 1

; Helper function - Various helper function to extend other checks. This is also only supported through NRPE.
CheckHelpers = 1

; Check NSCP - Checkes the state of the agent
CheckNSCP = 1

; CheckSystem - Various system related checks, such as CPU load, process state, service state memory usage and PDH counters.
CheckSystem = 1

; CheckWMI - CheckWMI can check various file and disk related things. The current version has commands to check Size of hard drives and directories.
CheckWMI = 1

; NRPE server - A simple server that listens for incoming NRPE connection and handles them. NRPE is preferred over NSClient as it is more flexible. You can of cource use both NSClient and NRPE.
NRPEServer = 1

; NSClient server - A simple server that listens for incoming NSClient (check_nt) connection and handles them. Although NRPE is the preferred method NSClient is fully supported and can be used for simplicity or for compatibility.
NSClientServer = 1


; Undocumented section
[/settings/default]

; ALLOWED HOSTS - A comaseparated list of allowed hosts. You can use netmasks (/ syntax) or * to create ranges.
allowed hosts = 192.168.xxx.xxx


; Section for NRPE (NRPEListener.dll) (check_nrpe) protocol options.
[/settings/NRPE/server]
allow arguments = true


; Section for NSClient (NSClientServer.dll) (check_nt) protocol options.
[/settings/NSClient/server]

[/settings/external scripts]


; A list of aliases available. An alias is an internal command that has been "wrapped" (to add arguments). Be careful so you don't create loops (ie check_loop=check_a, check_a=check_loop)
[/settings/external scripts/alias]


; A list of scripts available to run from the CheckExternalScripts module. Syntax is: <command>=<script> <arguments>
[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
check_updates=cmd /c echo scripts\Check_Windows_Updates.ps1; exit $LastExitCode | powershell.exe -command -


; A list of wrappped scripts (ie. using the template mechanism)
[/settings/external scripts/wrapped scripts]


; A list of templates for wrapped scripts
[/settings/external scripts/wrappings]

[/settings/log/file]


; Section for configuring the shared session.
[/settings/shared session]


; A list of avalible remote target systems
[/settings/targets]
...and the nsclient log file.

Code: Select all

\..\trunk\modules\CheckSystem\PDHCollector.cpp:254: Failed to get UPTIME value: <UN ATTACHED>: No value has been collected yet
I also deleted the uptime service and pushed a new instance of the uptime check using the confiq wizard and rebooted the host, same result.
Thanks so much,
Tom

What is the version of the NSClient++ that you are using? Have you tried restarting the NSClient++ service? There is a similar issue, described here:
