Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I am new to nagios core (4.0.8) and I have following several forums to get it working on Ubuntu 14.04. I am using Check_ncpa.py to actively monitor a few servers for testing and I was able to get it to work. The only issue I have is monitoring MS windows services. The service always shows as critical, whether it is running or not. I tested with the command below, both with the service running or not. It properly reports the service status but it will shows as critical.

./check_ncpa.py -H xxx -t xxx -M service/servicename

Does anybody know why it does that? Is there a way to fix it? I only want it to be critical if the service is not running.

Can you please post the exact input (obfuscate hostname and token only please) and output when you run your command?

Thanks

The code is The response I get is:
CRITICAL: Service wuauserv is running

The wuauserv is the windows update service.
