Check_Local_Users query

[neworderfac33]

Good afternoon,

In addition to being able to see how many users are logged into a Windows server with:

Code: Select all

define service {
        use                     generic-service
        hostgroup_name          jenkins-test-masters
        service_description     Check Local Users
        check_command           check_local_users
        }

is it possible to return their usernames?

Thanks in advance

Pete

That all depends on the plugin that check_local_users is configured to run, but if you are running a setup anything like mine, then you are checking your local Nagios system as opposed to a Windows system, and there does not appear to be a way to list users:

Code: Select all

root@localhost: /usr/local/nagios/libexec
$ ./check_users --help
check_users v2.0.3 (nagios-plugins 2.0.3)
Copyright (c) 1999 Ethan Galstad

This plugin checks the number of users currently logged in on the local
system and generates an error if the number exceeds the thresholds specified.


Usage:
check_users -w <users> -c <users>

Options:
 -h, --help
    Print detailed help screen
 -V, --version
    Print version information
 --extra-opts=[section][@file]
    Read options from an ini file. See
    https://www.nagios-plugins.org/doc/extra-opts.html
    for usage and examples.
 -w, --warning=INTEGER
    Set WARNING status if more than INTEGER users are logged in
 -c, --critical=INTEGER
    Set CRITICAL status if more than INTEGER users are logged in

Thanks for replying.

Here's the Check_Local_Users from commands.cfg

Code: Select all

define command{
        command_name    check_local_users
        command_line    $USER1$/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
        }

So, it doesn't matter which host definition I call it from, it's still only going to give me the information for the Nagios host? Poo.

Cheers

Pete
