Issue with NCPA agent

[balothia]

Just wanted to give you heads up. Nick Scott is off today but he will be in the office tomorrow afternoon, and will follow up with you on the development. Unfortunately, I don't know how much he's done on fixing the bug.

Just want to check if there any updates on this.

Nick is still working on the issue. As soon as we have a fix / patch, we will let you know.

I could see a new ncpa agent install file is uploaded but while installing the new agent I am facing a error. I am attaching the screenshot and looks like because of this error the ncpa agent is not getting registered to windows as service.

Not sure if this is related but i though to intimate you guys so in case anyone download it will have issues.

Thanks,
Gautam

I was able to recreate the issue. It seems there is a problem with the Windows installer. I expect this issue to be fixed by tomorrow.

New agent version is release and I installed it on our server but no joy. Still I am facing same issue.
Agent Information
Version 1.3
When i run the plugin from server directly i get below results
C:\check_winevent.exe --log security
EVENT OK - 7 events|events=7;;;

Where as when i try to run the plugin from nagios server through check_ncpa.py I always get below output which means parameters are not getting parsed or passed. Let me know if I am making a mistake here.
./check_ncpa.py -H x.x.x.x -t 'xxxxx' -P 5693 -M agent/plugin/check_winevent -a "--log security"
EVENT OK - 36 events|events=36;;;

Let me know if we have any solution to this issue.

Thanks,
Gautam

That is very odd...

We are going to talk to our developer Nick about this again and do some more testing on our end. Out of curiosity, how many events are listed if you omit the security log flag? Is it 36 or so? My guess is that the args are still not being passed.

Thanks correct its 36 Events arguments are not getting passed at all.
