How could i check a service that contains a space?

for example services on linux: "dsmc sched"

when i exec:

[root@DOUAI nrpe]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/nrpe/check_services -p "dsmc sched"
dsmc: 2 sched: 3

or

[root@DOUAI nrpe]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/nrpe/check_services -p "sched"
sched: 3

but i have just 1 service started and not 3.

[root@DOUAI nrpe]# ps -aux | grep dsmc
Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.8/FAQ
root 10785 0.0 0.0 408516 17112 pts/1 Sl+ Aug31 0:35 dsmc sched

Do you have the check_procs plugin installed? Try that and see if the output is what you want.
Run it like this from the folder that it is installed in.

Code: Select all

./check_procs -a 'dsmc sched'

Tgriep you are right, thx..

[root@DOUAI libexec]# ./check_procs -a 'dsmc sched'
PROCS OK: 1 process with args 'dsmc sched' | procs=1;;;0;

Tgriep you are right, thx..

[root@DOUAI libexec]# ./check_procs -a 'dsmc sched'
PROCS OK: 1 process with args 'dsmc sched' | procs=1;;;0;

Is there anything else we can help out with in this particular thread?

Just now im trying to exec via nrpe the following script, but it shows me 2 process.

[root@DOUAI etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.32.83 -t 30 -c check_procs -a '-a dsmc sched'
PROCS WARNING: 2 processes with args 'dsmc' | procs=2;sched;;0;

or

[root@DOUAI etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.32.83 -t 30 -c check_procs -a '-a 'dsmc sched''
PROCS OK: 2 processes with args 'dsmc' | procs=2;;;0;

In the second command you used a single quote followed by a double quote.. not sure if this is a typo or not.

[paulol]

[root@DOUAI etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.32.83 -t 30 -c check_procs -a '-a 'dsmc sched' '
PROCS OK: 2 processes with args 'dsmc' | procs=2;;;0;

Its a typo.

How do you have "check_procs" defined on 10.0.32.83? If you had:

Code: Select all

command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs $ARG1$

change it to:

Code: Select all

command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs "$ARG1$"

and restart xinetd:

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

Test your check again:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.32.83 -t 30 -c check_procs -a '-a 'dsmc sched''

Let me know if this fixed your issue.

[paulol]

Code: Select all

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/nrpe/check_procs "$ARG1$"

[root@DOUAI ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.32.83 -t 30 -c check_procs -a '-adsmc sched'
PROCS OK: 1 process with args 'dsmc sched' | procs=1;;;0;

Now, it works, but i have to modify this in all my servers.
It will be a difficult job.

That is good to hear. Shall I close this post?
