Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I have a problem on Nagios xi
If test this command on terminal:
./check_nt -H MYHOSTADDRESS -s "mypass" -p 5666 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(0 C: D:)\\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer","%.f"
I have a result.

On nagiosxi interface the command is truncated.
command on nagios xi interface:
$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s "$ARG1$" -p 5666 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(0 C: D:)\\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer","%.f"
but nrpe receive:
\\PhysicalDisk\(0 C: D:\)\\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer (with unwanted escape caracters)


Any idea ?

Is this happening with just the "test check command" in the interface, or with the actual check run by nagios as well? (do you see the error in the status output on the service details page?)

Thx for you reponse.

If use command check test, the result is:
COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H myhost -s "mypass" -p 5666 -v COUNTER -l "\\\\PhysicalDisk\(0 C: D:\)\\\\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer","%.f"
OUTPUT: 0 | %.f=0.000000%;0.000000;0.000000;
and the log file nsclient ++ (0.39.328)

If I try on terminal:
./check_nt -H myhost -s "pass" -p 5666 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(0 C: D:)\\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer","%.f"
the result on terminal:
0 | %.f=0.000067%;0.000000;0.000000;

and no error in nsclient log file

You are missing some slashes next to the drive letter definitions, try:
You only need to double slash when you define the command/check in the CCM as one is used to escape the slash.

On terminal is ok. without slash to drive letter.
The problem is on CCM.

You will not be able to run the test check command through the ccm on checks that require slash escaping, in this case you need only use "//" not "////". I'd make this change to your service wherever those slashes are in it, and then apply config > Check service from the services list in the Home menu.

If you see the first post, the command on ccm haven't ////
$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s "$ARG1$" -p 5666 -v COUNTER -l "\\PhysicalDisk(0 C: D:)\\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer","%.f"

The response on nagiosxi ccm:

If use command check test, the result is:
COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H myhost -s "mypass" -p 5666 -v COUNTER -l "\\\\PhysicalDisk\(0 C: D:\)\\\\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer","%.f"

Ok,

How monitor windows performance counter for physicalDisk, IO, cache etc.... ?

Ok thx I have my response.

Not use check_nt, use check_nrpe:

./check_nrpe -H myhost -p myport -c CheckCounter -a "Counter=\\PhysicalDisk(_Total)\\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer"

Yes, that does seem to be what you want in this case. Did this work for you?
