Let's address these one at a time.

See https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... a-722.html for how to run scripts with NCPA.

The first step is to copy the powershell script into the plugins directory( Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Nagios\NCPA\plugins)

and then testing it from the XI command line. For example:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H your_windows_server_ip_address -t your_windows_server_ncpa_token -P 5693 -M 'plugins/check_adreplication.ps1' -q 'args=-Warning 5 -Critical 10'

Does this work?

Hi Cdienger,

Thank for your response.

I have tried as per your suggestion but we are facing replication error. Please find attached screenshot.

I haven't used this script, so I am going to speculate here... The example that is shown is this:

Code: Select all

.\Get-ADReplication.ps1 -Warning 5 -Critical 10

so, you are supposed to be able to pass arguments, even though they are "hard-coded" in the script.

Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=0)]
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
[int]$Warning=1,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=1)]
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
[int]$Critical=5
)

Having said that, you can try passing only the values (without the "-Warning" and "-Critical" part).

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H your_windows_server_ip_address -t your_windows_server_ncpa_token -P 5693 -M 'plugins/check_adreplication.ps1' -q 'args=5 10'

You can also try not passing any arguments to see what would be the status that is returned with the "hard-coded" parameters. The plugins seems to be working, however the status should be "Warning", not "Critical" (with the returned value of 7 that is).
