check_wmi_not fully grasping how this works yet.

[tonyroth]

yes when running the wmic command on the xi server I do have the domain/user syntax correct and it does work fine like you say it just doesn't translate to the monitor working correctly. I get a status information tghat says
"OK - Found 0 Instance(s) of "MediaBeacon64.exe" running (0 excluded)."
which is correct but means that the process isn't running which is bad and should send an alert..

[sreinhardt]

Ah gotcha, just add a -w 1: to send a warning if less than 1 process is detected, or -c 1: if you wish to have a critical instead.

[tonyroth]

damn all this for one little switch how funny, sorry I wasted your time. Thanks much for you patience.

ok I put -c 1 at the end of the line but its not flagging as critcal.

check_xi_service_wmiplus!'NWEA/ssss!xxxxx!checkprocess!-s Commandline -a 'MediaBeacon642.exe' -c 1

mediabeacon is missed named in this case so that it errors out but nothing happens. did I put the -c 1 in the wrong place.

[sreinhardt]

Hey no worries at all, we all started somewhere. The issue you are having now is that you would only get a critical if 1 process is running, you need 1: (with a colon) per the threshold guidelines. This will cause it to check for less than 1, so negative infinity to 0.

head hurtz don't want to read this doc...

[tonyroth]

is this correct then

check_xi_service_wmiplus!dccc\-user-ITS'!'NWssE@&strenadgth+4cowsYES'!checkprocess!-s Commandline -a 'MediaBeacon642.exe' -c1:

[tonyroth]

guess it needs a space between the c and the 1 so -c 1:
