How monitor MSMQ

[azam101]

See attached log file and config file

[Box293]

What is the value in the $ARG1$ field?

[azam101]

Below is the value

MessageCount DIRECT=OS:jus2k8app02\private$\CRMHistory_2 100 200

[rkennedy]

What happens if you escape the \'s with another \, or put it in quotes ""?

[azam101]

it makes no difference

When I do a nmap xxxxx -p 5666 , I get 5666/tcp closed nrpe

but this is in test environment which does not have any firewalls and I can telnet from server that I am trying to monitor to port 5666.


Should I log this with nagios support? we have bought support

I'm looking at your NSC.ini, and you have:

Code: Select all

;NRPEListener.dll

Notice the semicolon in front of it. It is commented out. Nothing is currently listening on port 5666.

Try to uncomment that, and restart the NSClient service.

Thank you the port is now open, but now getting a different error

see attached log file

[hsmith]

Try changing your current configuration from this:

Code: Select all

[External Script]
;# COMMAND TIMEOUT
;  This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will allow plug-ins to finish executing before killing them off.
;command_timeout=60
;
;# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
;  This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients to specify arguments to commands that are executed.
;allow_arguments=0

To this:

Code: Select all

[External Script]
;# COMMAND TIMEOUT
;  This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will allow plug-ins to finish executing before killing them off.
;command_timeout=60
;
;# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
;  This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients to specify arguments to commands that are executed.
allow_arguments=1

... and restart the NSClient service one more.

I have made the changes but still same issue

see attached logs file and config

Also im trying now with the powershell script as well check_psmsmq,

And I also tried the changing to the below :

[NRPE]
;# NRPE PORT NUMBER
; This is the port the NRPEListener.dll will listen to.
;port=5666
;
;# COMMAND TIMEOUT
; This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will allow plug-ins to finish executing before killing them off.
;command_timeout=60
;
;# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
; This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients to specify arguments to commands that are executed.
allow_arguments=1
;
;# COMMAND ALLOW NASTY META CHARS
; This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients to specify nasty (as in |`&><'"\[]{}) characters in arguments.
allow_nasty_meta_chars=1

Then go the error NSClient++.cpp No handler for command

[rkennedy]

Under the NRPE section, please uncomment this part -

Code: Select all

;# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
;  This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients to specify arguments to commands that are executed.
;allow_arguments=0
