Symantec Monitoring

[narendra.badgujar]

HI,

Can we monitor, Symentec update on client machine. Please help.

This is quite broad, as far as I know all Symantec products that have the ability to be updated. You can start by narrowing down your search terms on our exchange site:

http://exchange.nagios.org/

You should be able to find a custom plugin there.

For symantec last update date, I followed below mention instruction. But unable get update.

Save the script to your NSClient++scripts directory and then add the following line under the [NRPE Handlers] section of your NSC.ini file

check_av=cscript.exe //NoLogo scriptscheck_av.vbs /W:$ARG1$ /c:$ARG2$

[abrist]

Can you link us to the plugin script (check_av) you are using?

[narendra.badgujar]

[slansing]

Can you attach, or provide a link to that plugin.

I am not able to test "scriptscheck_av.vbs" on my test boxes, but here's a few things that you can do to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Make sure you can run the "scriptscheck_av.vbs" locally and it produces the desired output
2. Make sure that in the NSC.ini file (or nsclient.ini) you NRPE and External Scripts modules are enabled, and you have:

Code: Select all

allow_arguments=1
allow_nasty_meta_chars=1

3. You should probably change your command from this:

Code: Select all

check_av=cscript.exe //NoLogo scriptscheck_av.vbs /W:$ARG1$ /c:$ARG2$

to something like this:

Code: Select all

check_av=cscript.exe //NoLogo //T:60 scripts\\scriptscheck_av.vbs $ARG1$

4. Test your check by running from the Nagios box:

Code: Select all

cd <your plugins directory>
./check_nrpe -H <windows box ip> -c check_av -a '<put your arguments here>'
