Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

Do you have exact account permissions requirements for WMI checks? I use a Windows domain account.

The WMI set-up document states this for troubleshooting:
'
Issue: Nagios showing something similar to: UNKNOWN: Could not retrieve all required data. ERROR: dcom_create_object.
Fix: The user created on the remote Windows machine cannot be a “Limited” account. Change the account to an account with
more permissions and then retry the check.
'
This is what wmi check returns in NagiosXI.


UNKNOWN: Could not retrieve all required data. Failed to bind to uuid 4d9f4ab8-7d1c-11cf-861e-0020af6e7c57 - NT_STATUS_NET_WRITE_FAULT
ERROR: dcom_create_object.
ERROR: Login to remote object.
NTSTATUS: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE - Logon failure

Thanks!

I believe it has to be set as an administrator on the local machine.
