WMI username passowrd

I have seen post about WMI wizard not hiding the password, but I couldnt find the right answer for that. How do we hide the password ?

You can hide the password by putting the credentials in a flat-file and having the check_wmi_plus.pl plugin assess the credentials that way (via the -A parameter or with the "Auth File" field in the wizard) rather than doing it in-line.

The authentication file itself isn't encrypted/obfuscated in any way, it just removes the credentials from the Nagios XI interface or in the CLI commands executed on the back-end:

Code: Select all

username=Administrator
password=verysecret
domain=LENUX

WMI doesnt work for account that has special password in it ? it throws login error
