Question about passing parameters
Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2014 6:53 am
Hello,
I'm trying to extend my check_ms_win_tasks.ps1 script. At this point, I'm passing three parameters and they are all mandatory. As I do not want them to be mandatory, as it can happen there are no excluding folder or task patterns, I removed the [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] form the parameters.
Now normally I should be able to call the script like this in Powershell: .\check_ms_win_tasks.ps1 -computername "localhost" -ExclFolders "Microsoft" -ExclTasks "Google", which gives the expected result.
But when I try this from cli, I get:
So apparently nrpe thinks the parameters I'm passing are for nrpe, not for my Powershell script. Any advice how to handle something like this. When I make the parameters mandatory and provide them, the script works fine.
The command made in nsclient.ini looks like this:
So is there any way to add -computername, -exclfolders and -excltasks as optional parameters with a Powershell script called by nrpe?
The Nagios command look like this now:
Any advice on this?
