Trying to configure IIS plugin

[gixxx11]

I'm having an issue getting a IIS and application pool plugin to work.

This one in specific: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ol/details

I'm getting the error in nagios: (Return code of 127 is out of bounds. Check if plugin exists) which means I've not configured it correctly on the source machine.

I could use some assistance.

I edited nsclient.ini and added these lines to the bottom:

;TEST PowerShell Script for IIS
[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
check_ms_iis_application_pool=cmd /c echo scripts/powershell/check_ms_iis_application_pool.ps1 $ARG1$; exit $LastExitCode | powershell.exe /noprofile -command -

I created a "Powershell" folder under \NSClient++\scripts\ and placed the "check_ms_iis_application_pool.ps1" script into it. I then restared the nsclient service.

Under Nagios XI I created a new command "check_ms_iis_application_pool => $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -t 60 -c check_ms_iis_application_pool $ARG1$"

I added the service to the machine I'm testing and set ARG1 to: -a '-A <testorderentry>'
"testorderentry" is the name of an application pool. I also tested -a '-A testorderentry', -A <testorderentry>, testorderentry and everything is giving the same error.

Error: " (Return code of 127 is out of bounds. Check if plugin exists) " I believe this means the plugin isn't even responding to requests so is configured incorrectly.

Thank you for any assistance!

This error

(Return code of 127 is out of bounds. Check if plugin exists)

leads me to believe that the command that was added to XI isn't correct and it cannot find your check_nrpe plugin correctly

Can you verify that you have typed everything correctly in the $USER1$ macro and plugin name

It would also be good to test your command from the XI command line like so

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 5666 -t 60 -c check_ms_iis_application_pool

"Can you verify that you have typed everything correctly in the $USER1$ macro and plugin name"

I followed the instructions. I made no changes to $USER1$ macro (should I need to?) and I copy/pasted from the instructions. I don't see anything incorrect.

"It would also be good to test your command from the XI command line like so"

When I run the command from the command line I get no output at all.

Can you get the nsclient.ini file and the nsclient.log file from the Windows server and post them here so we can view the settings and any errors?

On the nagios server, can you run the following as root and post the output here?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -V

Then login to the XI GUi and go to the Core Config Manager > Services menu and search to the Service in question.
Click on the View Config icon (Right hand side of the menu) Copy the config for the service and post it here so we can view it.

Thanks

Thank you for your help.

When creating an external command, you need to specify a wrapping command so the agent knows which application it needs to use to run the command.

Add this wrapping to the nsclient.ini file and restart the NSClient++ agent and see if the check runs. You may have to adjust it to your path of where the posweshell script is saved.

Code: Select all

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