Windows Scheduled task monitoring

[deek]

Hi ,
I have configured to monitor Scheduled task for a windows server , but the output expected is not proper .
I have followed this link ( https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/s ... s-788.html ) to set up the monitoring .
Im getting the same output even when the task is completed . Ill share the screenshot of the output im getting .

Command View :
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$

$ARG1$ : check_tasksched
$ARG2$ : -a "filter=title eq 'PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics'" 'critical=most_recent_run_time < -30m' empty-state=critical 'empty-syntax=CRITICAL: PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics NOT found' 'detail-syntax=${title} is stale more than -30m'

Please let me know if there is any other filter that needs to be added in the command line .
Im also attaching nsclient file .

nsclient_Scheduled.txt

Are you sure the job is running? The screenshot from the Windows system shows the last run time was 8/10 which is what is returned by the check.

Hi ,

The task is completed and instead of showing a ok status it is in critical state .
Im attaching the screenshot below .

[nagios@abc ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 172.**.***.*** -t 30 -c check_tasksched -a "filter=title eq 'PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics'" 'critical=most_recent_run_time < -30m' empty-state=critical 'empty-syntax=CRITICAL: PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics NOT found' 'detail-syntax=${title} is stale more than -30m'
CRITICAL: PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics is stale more than -30m|'PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics_exit_code'=1;0;0 'PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics_most_recent_run_time'=1601991437;0;1602234619

You could also try https://github.com/OutsideIT/check_ms_win_tasks

It might produce better results (with the right parameters)

What time was the check done at? The -30 would check to see if the job was run withing the last 30 minutes. Try increasing it. For example, -1440m to see if it was run within the last day.

Thanks for the alternative @WillemDH!

Your command is checking if it hasn't been run in the last 30 minutes, it hasn't so the output is valid.

You would need to change it to something like this:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H **.***.*** -t 30 -c check_tasksched -a "filter=title eq 'PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics'" 'critical=exit_code != 0' empty-state=critical 'empty-syntax=CRITICAL: PDI - Weekly Nexpose Metrics NOT found' 'detail-syntax=${title}: exit code: ${exit_code}'
