How to complete installing a plugin from Nagios Exchange

[tgriep]

Can you post the Nagios configuration file for that server so we can view it?
It looks like the service check is missing for the Exchange check.

I uploaded nagios.cfg file. Kindly help me check. Thanks.

That's the main Nagios configuration file. We need to see the config file for the specific server that you are trying to monitor.

If i understood you, that is NSClient++ which i installed on Exchange Server. See nsclient.ini as attached file.
Kindly feedback again if i was wrong. Thank you!

Did you place your PS script in "C:\NagiosMonitoring\"? Usually, scripts are placed in the "C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts" directory. Try moving your script there, then change your command from this:

Code: Select all

LyncFrontendServicesCheck=cmd /c echo C:\NagiosMonitoring\NagiosMonitoring_Exchange2016_Services.ps1 | PowerShell.exe -Command -

to this:

Code: Select all

LyncFrontendServicesCheck=cmd /c echo scripts\NagiosMonitoring_Exchange2016_Services.ps1; exit $LastExitCode | powershell.exe -command -

and restart the NSClient++ service.

Test it by running the following command from the command line on the Nagios XI server:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <client ip> -c LyncFrontendServicesCheck

If you are still having issues, load all of the "defaults" in the nsclient.ini file by running the following in the CMD Prompt on the Windows machine as administrator:

Code: Select all

cd "C:\Program Files\NSClient++"
nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all

Next, upload the updated nsclient.ini file on the forum. We may need to tweak some of the settings in there.

Hi rafael,

If you're getting:

Code: Select all

Service OK: All services are up and running

that means the plugin is up and running. Not sure why you're getting the parsing message but the config appears to be good and returning what you'd want now.

Hi cdienger,
Now, I'd like to look the results/achieves. Where can i find it ? What's all Exchange services state information ? I could only view like photo below.

[rafael]

Any one can show me the result sample ? And where can i find it on my Nagios ?
Thanks.

The script will return a result like this if all services are up and running:

Service OK: All services are up and running

To see the results you must create config for this check Under Configure > CCM > Services. For example:
