Help with NRPE please

[lmiltchev]

I tried it on my test box and it seems it's working fine. In the "NSC.ini" file, I have:

Code: Select all

check_winfile=scripts\check_winfile.exe //T:30 //NoLogo $ARG1$

I tested it from the nagios server, by running:

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H <windows_client_ip> -c check_winfile -a '-t c:\tmp --filter "age ge -24 hours" --critical 0'
FILE OK - 0 files out of 7 to consider|'selected files'=0;;0; 'all files'=7 'deleted files'=0

Yes, i can get this working locally, just not through nagios. I keep getting the:

(No output returned from plugin)

[csward]

Ran from the nagios command line and get:

administrator@CSP-NAG-P01:/usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4.16/plugins$ ./check_nrpe -H CSITFPSP01A -c check_winfile -a '-target c:\test --filter "age ge -24 hours" --critical 0'
FILE UNKNOWN - No targets are specified.

Did you add $ARG2$ to the check_nrpe command definition? Did you set up the "check_winfile" command definition in the "NSC.ini" (nsclient.ini) file in a similar way?

Code: Select all

check_winfile=scripts\check_winfile.exe //T:30 //NoLogo $ARG1$

What happens, when you run a check from the nagios server?

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H <windows_client_ip> -c check_winfile -a '-t <path to your file> --filter "age ge -24 hours" --critical 0'

[csward]

Tried with IP also:

administrator@CSP-NAG-P01:/usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4.16/plugins$ ./check_nrpe -H 10.64.3.157 -c check_winfile -a '-t "c:\Test" --filter "age ge -24 hours" --critical 0'
FILE UNKNOWN - No targets are specified.

Yes, i added the $ARG2$

Not sure why this isn't working. Seems to work from the host.

[lmiltchev]

Hm-m, do you have the following two lines in the NSC.ini (nsclient.ini) under the NRPE and External Scripts sections?

Code: Select all

allow arguments = true
allow nasty characters = true

[csward]

That was it. At least it worked for my test folder. I thought I had this set, apparently there is more than one place to do this.

I have a lot of files in the production folder and I'm getting this error:

CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.


Is there a way to extend this? I have this set to -t 120

so not sure why it's timing out at 10 seconds.

Thanks

Do you have a "-t 10" hard coded in your commands anywhere? On the check command, service definition, or the nsclient command? If not run the following, you may find you must increase the timeout in the nagios.cfg:

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg | grep timeout

[csward]

actually, after running this from the nagios command prompt:

./check_nrpe -H 10.64.3.157 -t 120 -c check_winfile -a '-t j:\AWIIProxy\ProcessedMessages'

I get this:

CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages.

Since it works with my c:\test folder could this just be a permission issue?
