Windows Service monitoring using NagiosXi

[mguthrie]

You should be able to have spaces in the names of your service descriptions. Can you send us a screenshot of where you're entering this and it's not allowing the spaces?

Hello,
I hava another question...
How you do when you have a service with a "space" in his name :

Example : DNS Server or Printer Spooler ???

Julien,
Have a look at the screenshot that shows the Windows Firewall service. You can see that the Service name is MpsSvc and this is what you type in the Windows Service box in the Windows Server wizard.

Have a look at the Print Spooler service, you'll find the Service name is Spooler. Same with DNS Server, it's Service name is DNS.

Don't confuse the Display Name with the Service name.

You've right about DNS and Spooler

But look the attached file , it's for Lotus.

Hi,
I am getting the same problem with check_iis_pool_state. Where U need to pass the IIS App Pool name as a argument.
I tried following command ->
./check_nrpe -H IISServer -c check_iis_pool_state -a "Classic .NET AppPool"
But it returns the error can't find the App Pool Classic !

You could try using apostrophes 'Classic .NET AppPool' instead of quotation marks "Classic .NET AppPool".

Otherwise I suggest you contact the author of that script and ask for their help.
