Hello
I have problems when running outside of Windows servers check
For example, with plugins that come by default.
C: \ Program Files \ NSClient ++ \ scripts \ check_test.ps1
My configuration file nsclient.ini
[/ Settings / external scripts / wrappings]
ps1 = cmd / c I miss scripts SCRIPT \\%%% ARGS%; exit ($ lastexitcode) | Bypass -ExecutionPolicy powershell.exe -command -
[/ Settings / external scripts / wrapped scripts]
test_ps = check_test.ps1
First test, from my nagios server run from the directory
/ Usr / local / nagios / libexec
check_nrpe - H ipserver1
I (0.4.2.114 01/08/2015) seem to be doing fine ... OK !!!!
And I run the check test_ps
./check_nrpe ipserver1 -c -H test_ps
Unknown command (s): test_ps
What am I doing wrong?
Please help
Greetings and thanks

I restarted the service and nsclient and plugins I work with .vbs extension ps1 and bat
But I have one .exe extension and it does not work
./check_nrpe ipserver1 -c -H check_tcp
Unknown command (s): check_tcp
In the nsclient.ini file I have the following alias
[/ Settings / external scripts / wrapped scripts]
check_tcp = check_tcp.exe
And in the C: \ Program Files \ NSClient ++ \ scripts have the file check_tcp.exe
Why not me files with .exe extension work?
Do I have to define it in the nsclient.ini file?
The other extensions, if they work, I have them set in the file as follows nsclient.ini
[/ Settings / external scripts / wrappings]
bat SCRIPT = scripts \\%%% ARGS%
ps1 = cmd / c I miss scripts SCRIPT \\%%% ARGS%; exit ($ lastexitcode) | Bypass -ExecutionPolicy powershell.exe -command -
vbs = cscript.exe // T: 30 // NoLogo scripts \
The plugin

This plugin seems to be working fine for me. I placed the "check_tcp.exe" in the NSClient++ scripts directory, and set up a command in the nsclient.ini as such:
Code: Select all
check_tcp = scripts\check_tcp.exe -H $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
Testing it from the CLI on the Nagios server gives me:
Code: Select all
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_tcp -a x.x.x.x 5666 100 200
TCP OK - 0.002 second response time on port 5666 |'time'=0.00195s
The usage is:
Code: Select all
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_tcp -a -h
scripts\check_tcp.exe (nagios-plugin)
scripts\check_tcp.exe -H <host> -p <port> -w <milliseconds> -c <milliseconds>
<host> Hostname to test port connection
<port> Port to connect to
-w warning
-c critical

allow arguments = true
allow = true nasty characters
timeout = 90
[/ Settings / external scripts / wrappings]
bat SCRIPT = scripts \\%%% ARGS%
ps1 = cmd / c I miss scripts SCRIPT \\%%% ARGS%; exit ($ lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -
vbs = cscript.exe // T: 90 // \\ lib \\ NoLogo scripts SCRIPT wrapper.vbs%%% ARGS%
exe = cmd / c% SCRIPT%% ARGS%
[/ Settings / external scripts / scripts]
check_tcp = scripts \ check_tcp.exe -H $ ARG1 $ -p $ ARG2 $ -w $ ARG3 $ -c $ ARG4 $
We have advanced a step no longer
I get the error Unknown command (s): check_tcp
I run from the server console my nagios this command
/ Usr / local / nagios / libexec / check_nrpe -c -H IPSERVER1 check_tcp IPSERVER1 5666 100 200
and I returns this error

Could you post your entire nsclient configuration file for us to look at? It's pretty picky where things are placed, so we may just need to move one line to another section.

/ Usr / local / nagios / libexec / check_nrpe -c -H IPSERVER1 check_tcp IPSERVER1 5666 100 200
I am not sure why you have "Usr" (capital "U"), spaces in the command, you are passing "-c" before "-H", you are missing "-a"... This is NOT what I showed you.
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_tcp -a x.x.x.x 5666 100 200
Try running:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H IPSERVER1 -c check_tcp -a IPSERVER1 5666 100 200

At first he had with -a but I always mistake, I have run with no -a -a and here you can see the result
Thank you

Can you follow the steps in this KB article to enable arguments:
