Escaping Brackets in check_nt ????

[sikainfo]

Hi there,
have a little problem with a check for a service on a Windows Server.
The windows Service Name and Display Name is Lotus Domino Server (Dnotesdata)

Btw: this is copied from the service properties

In Nagios Core 3.3.1 (SUSE Linux) it works fine with this command:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H xxxxx -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l 'Lotus Domino Server (Dnotesdata)'

In NagiosXI 2012R1.2 (RHEL 6.3) it cannot find the Service!
with the following errormessage:
OUTPUT: Lotus Domino Server \(Dnotesdata\): Error

Can you give me a tip to fix that?

THX Andy

Testing a command doesn't always work in the CCM (vs actually running the check in the command line), because of "(", ")", etc. We are working on fixing that. However, your check should still run fine. For example, I setup a service "Encrypting File System (EFS)", and works just fine, even though, the "Test Check Command" in the CCM fails. See bellow:

My command:

Code: Select all

 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H <IP> -s "password" -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l 'Encrypting File System (EFS)' -d SHOWALL

In the web interface:

Hello lmiltchev,

as you see below, this command doesn't work like yours. Don't know why ?

see trought CCM Test command:
COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H xxxxx -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l 'Lotus Domino Server \(Dnotesdata\)'
OUTPUT: Lotus Domino Server \(Dnotesdata\): Error

See trought NagiosXI interface:

and now running on the Unix Pompt:

[root@chsismon1 ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H xxxx -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l 'Lotus Domino Server (Dnotesdata)'
Lotus Domino Server (Dnotesdata): Started

Here it works !!!! so what's going on here ?????

This is strange... Click on the "Lotus Domino Server" service from the Home Page->Service Detail. Then click on Configure->Re-configure this service, copy and paste the command.

[sikainfo]

cannot copy and paste because of this message:

This service appears to make use of an advanced configuration. Use the Nagios Core Config Manager to modify the settings for this service.

[sikainfo]

this is how it is configured

Can you check if by chance you have an "extra" space between "Server" and "Dnotesdata" in $ARG2$? The name must match exactly, so that the check works.

Cool Tip
Thanks a lot, I do not understand how this space came in, because i copied the string from the service properties in windows ????
But it works now and that's cool. Thank you again
