new service

[Mani.Murugesan]

Hello Team,

recently I got a requirement that is for abc.exe
abc.exe is a service
but I tried to configure this service in my nagios I am getting Failed to open service abc : 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service

In windows abc service is server is already running

Could you please help me to resolve this issue ?

what is the service called if you run the following command from the windows command line?

Code: Select all

net start

This is what you would use as the service, not abc.exe

[Mani.Murugesan]

you are saying the below command will display the service name we need to use that service name in nagios configuration I mean

In -l option I need to mention right ?

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H <ip> -s "****" -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l <service name> -d SHOWALL

Yes, use the name that you see in the CMD in your command:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H <ip> -s "****" -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l <service name> -d SHOWALL

Keep in mind that if you have spaces and/or special characters in the name, you may need to wrap the name in single quotes.

Examples:

Not working:

Code: Select all

./check_nt -H x.x.x.x -s password -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l Windows Audio -d SHOWALL
 Failed to open service Windows: 424: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Working:

Code: Select all

./check_nt -H  x.x.x.x -s password -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l 'Windows Audio' -d SHOWALL
 Windows Audio: Started

Hello Team,

one more information the below service I have mentioned abc.exe(not original name) that is application they said like a this is not a service but in type it's showing .exe but In nagios how we can achieved this ?

Could you please help me ?

[lmiltchev]

With NSClient++ you can monitor services and processes. You could use a command as such:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -p 5666 -c check_process -a "process=abc.exe"

Example:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -p 5666 -c check_process -a "process=cmd.exe" "warn=count>2" "crit=count>3"
OK: all processes are ok.|'count'=1;2;3
