arguments in commands

Hello everyone,
to follow up my first topic :
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=41911
It worked for one server, but not for another ...
when I try to launch the check from Nagios server, I got this :
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H WORKINGSERVER-c windows_flexlm -a "--port 22222"
DOWN
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H NOTWORKINGSERVER-c windows_flexlm -a "--port 22222"
The command (windows_flexlm) returned an invalid return code: 255
return code "DOWN" is normal right now.
I'm currently using 0.5.0.62 2016-09-14 agent on both servers, same nsclient.ini, same boot.ini, same Tools and plugins of my own, same Perl version, same command for both ...
I tried this :
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H NOTWORKINGSERVER-c windows_flexlm -a "22222"
DOWN
and it worked ...
here is the definition of command in both nsclient.ini :
Code: Select all
windows_flexlm=perl check_flexlm.pl --port $ARG1$
and in Nagios Webportal :
Code: Select all
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c windows_flexlm -a "--port $ARG1$"
Do you have any ideas on how to fix that ?
Please ask for more informations if needed
Thank you

Can you try manually executing the perl script on the Windows host and see what is returned? Please post the full result. Wondering if it'll come back with DOWN or the same thing you're seeing in Nagios.

Hello,
forgot to tell but I can run it without problems using the command :
I think there is a problem in communication from Nagios Server and Nagios Agent ...

I also used the "nscp test" in a command prompt, then launch my command, you can see the result in attachment (it works as expected)

here is what I have now in nscp test command line:
windows_flexlm_daemon 27150
D ext-script Possible missing argument in: perl check_flexlm.pl --port 27150 --v
endor $ARG2$
D ext-script Command line: perl check_flexlm.pl --port 27150 --vendor $ARG2$
L cli CRITICAL: $ARG2$: DOWN
I have the config file in attachment, and this in "command" page in Nagios Portal :
Code: Select all
windows_flexlm_daemon $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c windows_flexlm -a "$ARG1$ $ARG2$"

The windows_flexlm_daemon command that is defined in the nsclient.ini file has 2 arguments but the command on the Nagios server is using the windows_flexlm command which only uses one argument.
Try changing the command on the Nagios server from
Code: Select all
windows_flexlm_daemon $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c windows_flexlm -a "$ARG1$ $ARG2$"
to
Code: Select all
windows_flexlm_daemon $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c windows_flexlm_daemon -a "$ARG1$ $ARG2$"
Save the change and Apply the Config, see if that fixes the issue.

Hello,
I finally fixed this, here is the solution :
nsclient.ini :
Code: Select all
windows_flexlm=perl check_flexlm.pl --port $ARG1$
windows_flexlm_daemon=perl check_flexlm.pl --port $ARG1$ --vendor $ARG2$
commands in Nagios interface :
Code: Select all
windows_flexlm $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c windows_flexlm -a $ARG1$
windows_flexlm_daemon $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c windows_flexlm_daemon -a "$ARG1$" "$ARG2$"
the tricky part is passing the arguments, as always
but also take care you use the right command with the right syntax
Thank you !
ps : keep this thread open for a week, maybe I will have another problem like this one
