How to exclude service from “Automatic Start Services”.

[imran_khan]

Hello,

I want to exclude some services from “Automatic Start Services”. How I can do this?

Service define in Nagios system:-
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name xyz
service_description Automatic Start Services
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 120
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups winwsrv
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command CheckAll!5666
}
I have manually tried below command and it is working fine.

./check_nrpe -H win_server_ip -p 5666 -c CheckServiceState -a CheckAll exclude=RemoteRegistry
OK: All services are in their appropriate state.

And when I define check_command as below and getting error “no handler for that command” in Nagios system

check_command check_nrpe!-H!win_server_ip!-p!5666!-c!CheckServiceState!-a!CheckAll!exclude=RemoteRegistry

Please suggest me on this.

Thanks,
Imran Khan.

./check_nrpe -H win_server_ip -p 5666 -c CheckServiceState -a CheckAll exclude=RemoteRegistry

check_command check_nrpe!-H!win_server_ip!-p!5666!-c!CheckServiceState!-a!CheckAll!exclude=RemoteRegistry

The full nrpe argument list is: "CheckAll exclude=RemoteRegistry"
You have way too many "!" symbols most likely. What is the command definition? (the one which designates $ARGn$s)?

Hello,

Thanks, command definition for CheckServiceState are as follow.

Which one of these is for the command "CheckAll" as declared in your config:

Service define in Nagios system:-
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name xyz
service_description Automatic Start Services
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 120
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups winwsrv
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command CheckAll!5666
}

[imran_khan]

Hello,

Not sure. I have put the below line in nsc.ini file but no luck.

alias_service=checkServiceState CheckAll exclude=RemoteRegistry

Thanks,
Imran Khan.

[slansing]

In your command definitions "-a" stands for argument, not alias. You need to define the alias as shown above, and then call it in the "-c" section of your nagios commands. Can you send us your nsc.ini file, please blank out passwords and IP's that are publicly open.

Hello,

Any suggestion or solution.

Thanks,
Imran khan.

[slansing]

We need to see the nagios command definition for:

Code: Select all

CheckAll

To see how you have defined it.

[imran_khan]

Hello,

Thanks.

Command defined as below. I want to exclude RemoteRegistry service for particular server not for all. So please suggest me on the same.
command_name CheckAll
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -c CheckServiceState -a CheckAll exclude=ShellHWDetection exclude=clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32 exclude=clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64 exclude=sppsvc
