Service SQLAgent$MSSQLSERVER check_ncpa returning running$

[imadc]

In Nagios XI 5.4.7 and ncpa agents installed on SQL servers

We are using :check_xi_ncpa to check availability of SQL Services

$USER1$/check_ncpa.py -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

-M 'service/SQLAgent$MSSQLSERVER2012/running'
-M 'service/MSSQL$MSSQLSERVER2012/running'

Here is the result:

CRITICAL: SQLAgent$MSSQLSERVER2012 is running (should be running$)
CRITICAL: MSSQL$MSSQLSERVER2012 is running (should be running$)

Any ideas who resolve that using ncpa Agents check?

When a service has a $ in the name, they have to be treated differently than normal checks.
Try editing the argumeny and change it like the example below and let is know if it works.

Code: Select all

-M service/MSSQL$"$"MSSQLSERVER2012/running

Notice the extra "$" and that it does not have the single quotes.
