Unknown Command(s)

[jkinning]

I have a powershell script that is working on 6 out of 8 servers to monitor IIS App pool and IIS websites. On these particular servers when I try to run the command I get this:
./check_nrpe -H <host> -c check_iis8_app_pool_state -a CLICPublic
Unknown command(s): check_iis8_app_pool_state

I have the command in the nsclient.ini file and the NSClient++ is running on Windows 2012R2. I cannot figure out why the client doesn't know the command.

A couple of things to try is to change the command to use back slashes and edit the lastexitcode so change the following line from

Code: Select all

check_iis8_app_pool_state=cmd /c echo scripts/powershell/check_iis8_app_pool_state.ps1 $ARG1$; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -

to

Code: Select all

check_iis8_app_pool_state=cmd /c echo scripts\powershell\check_iis8_app_pool_state.ps1 $ARG1$; exit $LastExitCode | powershell.exe -command -

Save the file and restart the NSClient++ service.
If you still have issues, please post the nsclient.log file so we can view the error.

still getting the same thing.

Log file is attached.

If you do have existing systems that work properly - can you copy the ini file from one of those working systems, overwrite the file on the system where the problem is, and stop/start the service?

In addition to what @SteveBeauchemin said...

I have a powershell script

Do you mean https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ester ... _state.ps1 ? If not, could you post the code? You can PM it, if you prefer.

You can close this one up. I was looking at these systems and they had two different versions of the NSClient++ installed. I uninstalled both versions and then installed one version and my checks are working.

Thanks!

Glad to hear it is resolved. I am going to lock the thread. Please feel free to post again if you have you another issue. Thank you for using the Nagios forums!
