Nagios Support Forum

I try to do a check to work remotely on windows . But when I want to read the log tells me I can not.

In the nsclient I have written
check_log3 = c:\perl.exe -p "ERROR" -l [path].log -c 1

and in the nagios i have written
check_nrpe -H (host) -p 5666 -c check_log3

what is the possible problem?

thank you

Are you running Nagios Core or Nagios XI? It looks like this post wound up in the wrong forum, and I would like to move it.

In order to help we'll need more terse information.
What error did you receive specifically when you ran check_nrpe from the Nagios server?

can't read [path].log

You may need to enable debug logging in NSClient++ and then restart NSClient++ service. Perform the test again and check the nsclient.log, post it here.

how can i enable the debug logging?


thak you

ariarlet,

Are you typing in '[path].log' literally, or are you using an actual path? If that information is not sensitive, it could be useful to know which path you're trying to monitor.

What version of NSClient are you using? If you're using a recent version, you can enable “test and debug” mode with the following commands: If you're using an older version, replace 'nscp' with 'nsclient++' or whatever the executable may be called.

No, i don't writting this, I'm using a original path. xD

Code: Select all

cd [NSClient path]

nscp stop

nscp test

My version is older and this does work

Open a command prompt as administrator and navigate to C:\Program Files\NSClient (or whatever directory your NSClient is in).

Next, type the below commands using the name of the NSClient executable - something like NSClient++.exe or nscp.exe:
This should start NSClient in testing mode - try running the check from the Nagios server and let us know what appears in the command prompt. Thanks!
