XI Trial and MSSQL

[thecountrylife08]

Hello Everyone,

I tried to search both the Forum and Google for the answer to this question but have been unsuccessful in finding the problem and resolving it. I am using Nagios XI trial for a class I am taking to monitor my class server, we are getting into the 70-462/463 sections so performance is becoming a big deal. I am trying to use the XI trial (while it remains) to monitor the databases but for every SQL/NSClient service I setup I get the following error

(No output on stdout) stderr: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I am not a Linux/Unix expert but I know that in some shell file or script there is a missing close " and it needs to be inserted, problem is I have no idea what /bin/sh: -c: is referring to. Anyone have any helpful hints or tricks to resolve this one?

Where are you seeing this error at? Also, what OS are you running XI on?

Let's check the permissions for your plugins, please run this from the CLI - ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ and post the result.

I am seeing this when looking at the View Services Screen, it is what is showing in the data section of the results. I am running on CentOS 6. I have also attached the returns from the list command, it looks similar to the core installation I was using previously, but it wasn't monitoring DBs yet.

Is it just one service? Can you provide a copy of the plugin?

[thecountrylife08]

I am 99% sure it is the plugin called check_nt, but the extension cannot be uploaded. I came to this conclusion by checking the commands, using the resources and tracing it to the libexec folder.

Can you provide us with the service config of one of the services not working please.

[thecountrylife08]

Sure, I can post it tonight when I get in!
