You need to allow arguments in your NSClient++ configuration file as the error clearly specifies.

https://docs.nsclient.org/howto/external_scripts.html

Code: Select all

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

[/settings/external scripts]
allow arguments=true

That did all working now

Off to the other servers now

This can be locked now

Thanks every one for your help

this is a pretty common problem maybe should be a KB article about this?

Posted: **Sat Sep 10, 2016 2:08 pm**
