I'm trying to add a check for testing DFS shares.

Using check_smb_share from the Exchange.

I tested from the command line:

Code: Select all

libexec]$  ./check_smb_share -H aus05nptpdfsr01.prod.****.com -s content -u "prod\svc_*********" -p "YmYU%gFv3zXj;@"
OK SMB Sharename:       content         Disk      Content Share

I created the command:

Code: Select all

$USER1$/check_smb_share -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s $ARG1$ -u "$ARG2$" -p "$ARG3$"

Then I configured the service:

dfs_check_problem.jpg

Template assigned is "generic-service"

Testing here works good (notice that the CCM is escaping out the whack and semicolon:

Code: Select all

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smb_share -H AUS05NPTPDFSR01.prod.****.com -s content -u prod\\svc_******** -p YmYU%gFv3zXj\;@
OUTPUT: OK SMB Sharename: 	content         Disk      Content Share

But as soon as I apply the config and go back out to the main UI, the check returns:

Code: Select all

CRITICAL SMB Sharename: content WARNING: The "idmap uid" option is deprecated

The same error code if I give it bad credentials in the CCM test

In the main ui, if I go to "Reconfigure this service" I show:

Code: Select all

check_smb_share!content!prod\******!YmYU%gFv3zXj;@!!!!!

Note the password here has a semicolon, but the test in the CCM didn't seem to care.

I've read through the wiki on problems with service checks and the PDF on Managing Plugins. I seem to be following the book, can't understand why the check doesn't work past the CCM/command line...

Your password includes 'illegal' meta characters. You will need to use the file /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg. Edit it to include (we will use $USER9$ for this example):

Code: Select all

$USER9$=YmYU%gFv3zXj;@

Then change your command to:

Code: Select all

$USER1$/check_smb_share -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s $ARG1$ -u "$ARG2$" -p "$USER9$"

Restart nagios/apply configuration.
A few things you should know:
1. The test check command will fail as it does not support $USERn$ macros.
2. By changing the command as I had you do above, it will change all checks using the command check_smb_share to use the password set to $USER9$. If you need to specify other passwords for other check_smb_shares, do not change the command, but instead change $ARG3$ in the CCM from your password to $USER9$.

Or change my service acct password to not include illegal characters?

Where are the illegal characters listed again?

Code: Select all

$ grep illegal /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
illegal_macro_output_chars=`~$&|'"<>
illegal_object_name_chars=`~!$%^&*|'"<>?,()=

ok, I've set the macro in resources.cfg but the check still returns "CRITICAL SMB Sharename: content WARNING: The "idmap uid" option is deprecated"

Command comes through as:

Code: Select all

check_smb_share!content!prod\svc_****!$USER9$!!!!!

Does the check itself work in the details ui?

vAJ,

Can you take a look at the nagios.log file and see what the service checks are running as (what the actual check command will be).

Yes, it is failing in the main UI with the error show above.

I think what yancy was looking for was the actual command that was run once nagios parsed the config and ran the check:

Code: Select all

grep "DFS Content Share" /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

All I see in the nagios.log are the results. Do I need to crank up debug level somewhere for it to show what you're asking for?

Code: Select all

[1382974060] SERVICE ALERT: AUS05NPTPDFSR01.prod.****.com;DFS Content Share;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITICAL SMB Sharename: content WARNING: The "idmap uid" option is deprecated
