Nagios Support Forum

Thanks but it didn't work. It works on the command line but not in the test or where it matters.

In the test it gives me this.

OUTPUT: Could not construct return packet in NRPE handler check client side (nsclient.log) logs...

It has no effect in the nagios output. The service still shows up.

So both double and single quotes work on the command.

Double quotes work in the test.

Neither works where we want it to work.

Can you post the nsclient.ini file from the Windows server? Hide sensitive info - IPs, passwords, etc.

Sorry for delay. Busy this time of year.

Please find the attached file.

Try editing the exclusion like below. $ have to be escaped a little differently.

Thanks tgriep but it didn't have any effect. No error, but the service is not excluded.

I stand corrected. I missed the first $ sign. Don't think I've ever escaped anything with a $ sign before and I used to be pretty decent with regex.

Thanks for you help.

Is this working for you now?

Yes

Thank you for the update.

I am going to close this topic.

Glad we could help!
