Kindly let me know what firewall rules that I can check on server ?

@bsivavani, There were some major bug fixes in the latest version of this plugin(0.8.2). In particular, there were difficulties related to passwords with special characters(you can read more here: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... ailed.html).
To upgrade the plugin in your Nagios XI web interface go to Admin/Mange Config Wizards. Then click on #1 Check for Updates #2 Install Updates. After that please check your plugin version and make sure it's the latest one.
Let us know if that helps.
And just to throw in another thought, sometimes on MySQL Servers that were set up with the Active directory, the username would change depending on what computer in the network is trying to access it.

Hi,

We have upgraded the plugin to 1.6.2 and we are receiving below error. We don't have special characters in password.

Hi, @bsivavani. Can you make sure that you have these two modules installed: After that please modify your /etc/freetds.conf file. (see the screenshot) When that's done restart your mssql service

Hi,

Below mentioned modules php-pdo and php-mssql installed already.

[root@XXXXX ~]# rpm -qa | grep "php-pdo"
php-pdo-5.3.3-47.el6.x86_64
[root@XXXXX ~]#
[root@XXXXX ~]# rpm -qa | grep "php-mssql"
php-mssql-5.3.3-4.el6.x86_64
[root@XXXXX ~]# 

Just want to confirm is it mssql-server or mysql service to restart?

i believe the freetds module is for PHP to intract with mssql from my understanding. you shouldn't need to restart the mssql-server following that.

Thank you for the correction, @tacolover101!
@bsivavani, can you post the whole freetds.conf file here as well?

Please find /etc/freetds.conf entries

[nagios@XXXXX etc]$ cat freetds.conf

@bsivavani, Go ahead and uncomment this line:
and change it to:

I made changes to tds version as 7.0 in freetds.conf, but still receiving the same error
