Hello.

I use the resource.cfg file for the input of usernames and passwords for the WMI Wizard. For some reason this is not working anymore on hosts that i add.

It looks like this on one that is working:
'$USER9$'
'$USER10$'

When i run the check the error message looks like this:

Code: Select all

OMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H SERVER -u '\$USER9\$' -p '\$USER10\$' -m checkeventlog -a 'Application' -o 2 -3 1
OUTPUT: UNKNOWN - The WMI query had problems. You might have your username/password wrong or the user's access level is too low. Wmic error text on the next line.

If i use plain text it works.

For some reason it now adds \ to the $USER$ arg.

Anybody any idea? tried multiple things like checking if permissions were correct etc, but i find it weird since this is working on all already added hosts. only with new ones.

It looks like you are using the "Test Check Command" button. That's notorious for escaping meta-characters. Save the check in the CCM the way you think it should be and let it run naturally. No escaping should be performed.

It was indeed somekind of false positive, when i save the service check it runs as it should. this can close in my opinion.
