Check_reg_key.vbs "folder not found"

[lpereira]

Does this script work? or should i need to find a different one.

as I had stated, we are not familiar with the plugin, you need to test it to see if it works from the Windows command line, if you cannot successfully do that, I would try something different.

I did, i run the script from windows CMD, and i added the screenshot on my previous posts.

It needs to run SUCCESSFULLY, the screenshots are errors

That's why i opened this post, i'm not able to get it working properly.

anyway... did you know any other scritp that might do what i need? (checking the REG_SZ value for changes)

thanks.

I don't know of one that does what you describe, but there is a post showing what could be put in a batch file to get some return
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 35#p172512

This could be parsed and turned into a plugin if you added some logic.

I Finally asked a partner to create a PS1 for this. This Scritp, check diferences between 3 registry keys with 3 different plain texts, if the registry is different then will notify.

this is the output for check with errors (each no error represents a folder, file, and extension):

Code: Select all

PS C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts> C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\Check_reg.ps1
NO ERROR
NO ERROR
Registry File Modified
1 exit 1

This is the output when there are no differences:

Code: Select all

 PS C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts> C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\Check_reg.ps1
NO ERROR
NO ERROR
NO ERROR
0 exit 0

From nagios Side i was able to add the command, and from GUI check results ok. However i'm having issues trying to parsing the exits in order to generate the "Critical" one.

Can you talk to your partner again? This is a bit out of scope of what we can support since it is a custom plugin that sounds like it needs modification. Our plugin guidelines should help with that.

i Have made a modification on the script. Now it only returns a 0 when the records are equal, and 2 when there is a modification.

i have added con CCM the options "-a 0" IN $ARG1$ and 2 in $ARG2$ (as you can see on the images below).

however i'm still having a "service ok" even if the output is 2.

Please i need to know how to parse the outputs correctly on CCM

Thanks!

As @tmcdonald pointed out, we can't do custom plugins, it's out of the scope of support.

I can explain briefly what I think your issue is. The output you see in the interface comes from whatever your plugin returns to the screen - in your example it was a 0 or a 2. The actual status of the plugin (OK, WARNING, CRITICAL) is based on the exit code of the plugin. This is why you're getting a 2 as the output and OK as the status.

I will give you a very simple example of a PS script that returns 0 or 2 exit codes (OK or CRITICAL).

example.ps1

Code: Select all

$LastExitCode = 0
$output = ""
$crit = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1).toString("yyyy-M-dd")

$MyTimeStamp = Get-Item c:\TEMP\test1.txt | Foreach {$_.LastWriteTime}
$MyTimeStamp = $MyTimeStamp.toString("yyyy-M-dd")

$Message = "The timestamp on my file is: $MyTimeStamp"

if ($MyTimeStamp -lt $crit)
    {
        $LastExitCode = 2
        echo "Critical: $Message"
        exit 2
    } else {
        $LastExitCode = 0
        echo "OK: $Message"
        exit 0
    }

In the nsclient.ini

Code: Select all

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

Testing from the CLI on the Nagios XI server:
1. Checking a file older than one day.

example01.PNG

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_timestamp
Critical: The timestamp on my file is: 2018-4-27
echo $?
2

2. Checking the updated file (newer than one day).

example02.PNG

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_timestamp
OK: The timestamp on my file is: 2018-7-13
echo $?
0

Hope this helps.
