In Windows 2003 I had a work around functioning by prefixing the $ with \\$$ for a single $ in the service name
When I upgraded to nagios
4.0.1 I now get warning SQLAgent: Error

When ever try something different I get a red error service not found!

Has anyone found a fix?

here is how the service is defined:

define service{
use engine
host_name rmh-eq2-02
service_description SQLAgent-HEMS2008
check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE! -d SHOWALL -l SQLAgent\\$$HEMS2008
servicegroups windows service
}

Does it give you a more specific error, like perhaps the string that it is failing on?

It was stated in the original post
the status is yellow warning
the message string is:
SQLAgent: Error

Dang, I was hoping it was more verbose than that. I will try to test this tomorrow.

Can you try doing the full escape with quotes?

Code: Select all

"SQLAgent\\$$HEMS2008"
