I then got different results, but not what we wanted. Am I typing in the wrong syntax?

Exception processing request: Request command contained illegal metachars!
Syntax is fine.
If you get illegal metachars or similar errors you are sending characters which are considered harmful through NRPE. This is a security measure inherited from the regular NRPE client.
Change

[/settings/NRPE/server]
allow arguments = true

Any suggestions on how to create a command and or service for this; so Nagios can start monitoring this?

Feel free to do these however makes sense to you, here's a quick example I have for you though:
Command:
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_mp
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
}
Code: Select all
define service {
host_name hostname
service_description Testing NRPE stuff
use generic-service
check_command check_mp!CheckDriveSize!E:\SQL\Databases!!!!!!
check_period 24x7
register 1
}
Mine might look slightly different because I did it on XI
, but the same ideas apply.

This looks great, thank you!
I will test it later today.

I put the command & the service in, but I'm getting a critical status message of...
(No output on stdout) stderr: execvp(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe, ...) failed. errno is 2: No such file or directory
Could the location of your plugin & my plugin be different?
I copied the exact command_line in as you posted it.
Also, is there a way to alert a warning size & critical size for this check?
Thanks,

Where is your check_nrpe at?
Lets figure that out before we move on to the warning and critical part.

The reason that your command is failing is because...
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_mp
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
}
Inside of here
$USER1$ is pointing at
/usr/local/nagios/libexec since it is defined in resource.cfg as pointing at that.
You need to either move
check_nrpe or change the
command_line part of the command.
Make sense?

Make's perfect sense. I changed the command_line to point to the correct path; which is for me /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/
I'm not sure why mine is different.
I now need to understand how to put in the correct path to the mount point in the check_command.
Using what was suggested... check_mp!CheckDriveSize!E:\SQL\Databases!!!!!!
I now get this result from Nagios...
Filter processing failed: Error: Failed to get size for: 3: The system cannot find the path specified.
Do I really need 6 exclamation points after my path? I'm not sure why there are so many.
Thanks
