Nagios Support Forum

yo yo nagios guy !!
SO...i have setup a task scheduler and its doing what its supposed to do but I am trying to find a way to put exact time in the command so when my task scheduler don't run on that time, it send an alert.

Nsclient : alias_sched_all = CheckTaskSched "filter=title eq '$ARG1$' AND exit_code ne 0" "syntax=%title%: %exit_code%"
command.cfg: command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c alias_sched_all -a Run-sales-report

so above task scheduler should run everyday at 5pm and if it doesnt run so nagios send an alert.

Thanks guys

So you are looking to validate that a task did\is running at 5, with the nrpe command, or you are looking to make sure that a passive check gets run at 5? Also are you looking to add the time on the nsclient side or nagios side of things?

So basically, I have a windows box that runs some task scheduler and i have setup a nagios to check the task scheduler(Run-sales-report) should run "status" all the time. this is how i setup it and working fine. Now i want to add new thing in the above command/code that when task scheduler didn't run at the specific time so nagios trigger the alert.
Did i make sense ? Thanks for help

Okay, so it currently looks like you are returning an OK state on that check, the next step would be to implement a critical switch so that the check will return a critical to Nagios when what is required for an OK state is not met. I am not extremely well versed with the CheckTaskSched functionality of NSClient, but you would want to set up a MaxCrit range, based on the records being returned. Have a look at some of the examples posted here:

We'd be happy to help you through adding this to your command, and may be able to somewhat mirror what you are checking to do so.

Hey Slansing
I am not sure how we gonna use that MaxCrit in my command and how am i gonna pass the time as a argument. Let me know if you have questions.

I don't believe this could be done, just by looking at the samples here:

I would recommend posting your question on the NSClient++ support page. I hope they have a solution that works "out of the box", however it seems that you may have to come up with some kind of custom script to achieve your goal.
