Nagios Support Forum

sorry, forgot to add the endings, so i ran this:

./check_nrpe -H 10.100.50.15 -c alias_cpu

and got this:

UNKNOWN: No handler for that command


and tried to run this:

./check_nt -H 10.100.50.15 -p 12489 PROCSTATE -1 explore.exe -d SHOWALL

and got this:

check_nt: Could not parse arguments
Usage:
check_nt -H host -v variable [-p port] [-w warning] [-c critical]
[-l params] [-d SHOWALL] [-u] [-t timeout]

Change the -1 to a -l as it is shown in the previous post.

the host ip u specified, is that for the nagios server or for the remote host? Im getting the same output for remote host, even after changing the 1 to an l, then tried to run this:

./check_nt -H 10.200.40.96 -p 12489 -v PROCSTATE -l explorer.exe -d SHOWALL


and got :

Connection refused
could not fetch information from server

You need to uncomment NSClientListener.dll from NSC.ini if using check_nt

restart nsclientpp service once that line has been uncommitted.

ok, i did that, and reset service and tried giving it another go, but now with an invalid password error when i run it.


./check_nt -H 10.100.50.15 -p 12489 -v PROCSTATE -l explorer.exe -d SHOWALL



NSClient - ERROR: Invalid password.

You need to specify a password. You will also need to set that password in you nsclient conifg:

ok i did and ran and got this:

Explorer.EXE: Running

Then it is working

correct, but that is not what i want. Like i mentioned earlier in the thread, i want specific services to be run, each server with specific processes. We used this to run:

./check_nrpe -H 10.100.50.15 -p 5666 -c check_procs_from_file -a

i just ran it, and got this:


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


i checked the log files, and got this as output:

i remember you guys mentioning something about changing the argument to true, and even then after i changed it and did a reset, get the same error.

Would the file with the list of processes be on Nagios? Or is this a file that exists on the Windows Server?

Was your former method used for Linux instead of Windows?
