windows WMI service check does not like parenthesis

[btayl]

Trying to do a windows WMI service check and the service looks like this RL.(Prod).Email.Service and it does not like the parenthesis and if I put and * in the center RL.*.Email.Service it finds two services RL.(Prod).Email.Service and RL.(Corporate_Risk_Prod).Email.Service. not sure how to fix this ?

These are working for me:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H X.X.X.X -u 'DOMAIN/username' -p 'password' -m checkservice -a "RL.\(Prod\).Email.Service" -c _Total=1: -c 0
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H X.X.X.X -u 'DOMAIN/username' -p 'password' -m checkservice -a "RL.\(Corporate_Risk_Prod\).Email.Service" -c _Total=1: -c 0

These do too:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H X.X.X.X -u 'DOMAIN/username' -p 'password' -m checkservice -a 'RL.\(Prod\).Email.Service' -c _Total=1: -c 0
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H X.X.X.X -u 'DOMAIN/username' -p 'password' -m checkservice -a 'RL.\(Corporate_Risk_Prod\).Email.Service' -c _Total=1: -c 0
