I ran the MSSQL Monitoring wizard and got this error for all the services.

(No output on stdout) stderr: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''

Could you go in to Core Config Manager, Services and click on the Floppy Icon to get the configuration information for the failing services and post that here?

Have you tried removing the special characters from the password? Does the check work this way or you are still getting (No output on stdout) stderr: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''?

I suspect you will need to escape the special characters in the password. You can also place the password in the "resource.cfg" file. To learn how, read the following document:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Macros.pdf

Its not the password. I tried to use basic passwords and other MSSQL password to see if it would work but when I tried them this is the error I get.

Connection to the database failed for an unknown reason.

Can you connect to the MSSQL server from the command line? Can you zip up the "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql_server.py" file and upload it on the forum?
