The command (up_time) returned an invalid return code: 255

[Arenne]

hello every one,
I am new to nagios,

I need to set up a nagios server with passive checks at my clients (outside my network)
So I use NSClient ++ with NSCA
My configuration works for all my clients except for one AD server.

The command (up_time) returned an invalid return code: 255


The script up_time works fine when I run it locally.

My config nsclient.ini

[/settings/scheduler/schedules]

uptime = up_time
diskfail = disk_fail
space = space_disk
backup-exec = check_serviceoff
updates = check_maj
hyperv-snapshot = hyperv_snapshot
vmware-snapshot = vmware_snapshot
windows-backup = windows_backup
veeam-backup = veeam_backup

[/modules]

CheckExternalScripts = enabled

CheckHelpers = enabled

CheckNSCP = enabled

CheckDisk = enabled

CheckSystem = enabled

NSClientServer = disabled

CheckEventLog = enabled

NSCAClient = enabled

Scheduler = enabled

NRPEServer = disabled



[/settings/external scripts]

allow arguments = True
timeout=120

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]

list_file=cmd /c "dir c:\\"

up_time = cmd /c echo scripts\up_time.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -
disk_fail = cmd /c echo scripts\disk_fail.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -

;veeam_backup = cmd /c echo scripts\veeam_backup.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -


Example of a script :





function Get-SystemUptime
{
$operatingSystem = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem
[Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDateTime($operatingSystem.LastBootUpTime)
}

Get-SystemUptime ($computer = "localhost") >$NULL
$lastboot = [System.Management.ManagementDateTimeconverter]::ToDateTime(
"$((gwmi Win32_OperatingSystem -computername $computer).LastBootUpTime)")
$uptime = (Get-Date) - $lastboot
Write-Host "Duree de fonctionnement : " $uptime.days "jours" $uptime.hours "heures" $uptime.minutes "minutes"

# le code d'erreur est toujours a 0 pour que l'état dans nagios soit toujours a OK
exit 0




If you have idea i'd please to try them

[scottwilkerson]

How are you running this from the Nagios server? I see this in the config which I would expect to be enabled

Code: Select all

NRPEServer = disabled

[Arenne]

All services are passive with NSCA, i have desabled active check on my services, this is why it is desabled

[scottwilkerson]

You might need to bypass the execution policy for this command to run, try

Code: Select all

up_time = cmd /c echo scripts\up_time.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command -

[Arenne]

Code: Select all

up_time = cmd /c echo scripts\up_time.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command -

I tried but it does not work
if you have other ideas

up_time = cmd /c echo scripts\up_time.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command -

What are you seeing in the nsclient logs?

Can you get the full nsclient.ini file and upload it to the ticket so we can check all of the settings?

[Arenne]

yes i can, here is the the full nsclient.ini.

I install NSClient ++ with a script so the configuration is the same for all my servers. And today I just saw that one of my other servers does not stop changing status from a normal situation to the same error code

[tgriep]

I setup that command in NSClient++ version 0.5.2.23 on a windows systems and the command ran for me without any errors.

To get it to work, I had to add a space between the exit and the ( like this example.

Code: Select all

up_time = cmd /c echo scripts\up_time.ps1; exit ($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command -

Try changing that and see if it helps.

Also, you should add a wrappings section and put in the settings for ps1 scripts like this.

Code: Select all

[/settings/external scripts/wrappings]

ps1 = cmd /c echo scripts\\%SCRIPT% %ARGS%; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -
