Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I'm getting this warning:



When i force an immediate recheck it gives me the following OK message:



What can i do to stop getting these false positives? Or isnt it a false positive?

This is the command im using to Check OS SP: (ARG3= info -s os)

Im curious to what you guys have to say.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,


Farid

Hello again litsupport.box. When are you receiving this warning? Is it only when you start a new service or does it happen periodically?

Your arguments look proper to me.

This message reappears frequently, and as i explained the 2nd time it tries to check it it always passes.

Hi, this happens in our environment too. Not often, but i did notice that it general happens when using the checks in the *.ini files from /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.d. directory, for example, the 'checkexchange.ini'. I don't remember seeing this happen using 'builtins', i.e. checkcpu. Hope this helps. I will try to track it more closely.

Here is snippet from nagios.log (below)... The service checks go to UNKNOWN, but then go OK.

Command and args....
$USER1$/check_wmi_plus.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $USER23$ -p $USER24$ -m $ARG1$ -s $ARG2$ $ARG3$ -extrawmicarg --option="client ntlmv2 auth"=Yes
Arguments are (for the first line):
ARG1 = checkexchange
ARG2 = DBInstances
ARG3 = -a 'MBX70' --nodatastring="Critical: Exchange Database is unmounted"

I'm happy to PM over the nagios.debug.log if that helps. Settings are at:

debug_level=-1
debug_verbosity=2
max_debug_file_size=100000000

@litsupport.box

Have you tried increasing the timeout? It believe the default timeout is 15 seconds. You can try passing something higher than that to your command, for example:
