IIS plugin for pool names with spaces troubles

[dlukinski]

Hello XI Support

Please help with configuring nsclient.ini (attached) for running this plugin:
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... te/details

We've followed instructions and got check configured, but getting strange response:
Our app pool names got spaces so we've inserted this one, but still no luck:
' for pool names with spaces
numargs = WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.length - 1
for i = 1 to numargs
'WScript.Echo(" " + WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Item(i))
strArgAppPool = strArgAppPool & " " & WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Item(i)
next

For this particular plugin, does your IIS setup include the "IIS Management Scripts and Tools" component?

You might also consider trying this PowerShell script (created by @WillemDH) which I've found to be a much better solution:
https://github.com/willemdh/check_ms_ii ... ation_pool

Code: Select all

PS C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts> ./check_ms_iis_application_pool.ps1 -A DefaultAppPool
OK: Application Pool "DefaultAppPool" is Started.

Thank you, how to define this PS1 script in nsclient.ini and as a command ?

Here's how i've configured mine (NSClient++ 0.4.4.19):

Code: Select all

[/settings/external scripts/wrappings]
ps1 = cmd /c echo scripts\\%SCRIPT% %ARGS%; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -

....

[/settings/external scripts/wrapped scripts]
check_ms_iis_application_pool=check_ms_iis_application_pool.ps1 $ARG1$

Be wary of pre-existing definitions for the scripts/wrappings section.

Executed from the Nagios XI CLI:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.4.235 -c check_ms_iis_application_pool -a '-A DefaultAppPool'
OK: Application Pool "DefaultAppPool" is Started.

We are now getting execution of the scripts disabled troubles:
File C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\check_ms_iis_application_pool.ps1 cann
ot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Pleas

e see "get-help about_signing" for more details.

You will need to allow the execution of remotely signed scripts on each system.

From powershell:

Code: Select all

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

And type Y to confirm.

There is a Powershell section in this KB article which should help:
