WMI Error Output

Post by snackypants »

I am getting the following error on Configuration Wizard: Windows WMI - Step 2 using domain admin credentials, anyone seen this before? Am new to NAGIOS XI. Thanks in advance.

WMI Error Output:
UNKNOWN - The WMI query had problems. You might have your username/password wrong or the user's access level is too low. Wmic error text on the next line.

Do you have any special characters in your password?

Let's assume for the purposes of demonstration you have a "!"

To escape it out, you'll want the password to look like \!goodpassword instead of !goodpassword. Otherwise, you can save the password in /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg as something like this:

$USER6$=!goodpassword

and then call $USER6$ for the password instead of the actual password. Does that make sense?



Also, have you looked through https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf for making sure the firewall is setup properly?
