You need to separate arguments to your command like so:

check_command check_nrpe!check_wmi!-a "query=Select Version,Caption from win32_OperatingSystem"

assuming your check_nrpe command is defined as:

$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$

Please see the following documentation on setting up commands and services:

Actually i'm using nsclient++ 0.41 version, so below command is preferrable for that version, but still getting error.

./check_nrpe -H IP_Address -t 30 -c CheckWMI -a "Query=Select Version,Caption from win32_OperatingSystem" columnSyntax="%value%" columnSeparator=", " ignore-perf-data
Output:
CHECK_NRPE: No output returned from daemon.


But when i run previous command i.e it shows below output:

./check_nrpe -H IP_Address -t 30 -c check_wmi -a "query=Select Version,Caption from win32_OperatingSystem"
Output:
No checks specified add warn/crit boundries

Can you confirm your NClient++ version:

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H IP_Address

Also, can you please provide your nsclient.ini file

[rlinux57]

It's: I (0.4.2.112 2015-01-08) seem to be doing fine...

Also, can you please provide your nsclient.ini file

Can you please complete this step so we can review the file?

Thanks!

I can confirm this is a bug in the version of NSClient++ you are running.

This has been fixed in the latest version 0.4.3.143:

Code: Select all

Command:
./check_nrpe -H win2008r2-01 -c check_wmi -a "query=Select Version,Caption from win32_OperatingSystem"

Output:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard , 6.1.7600
