Nagios Support Forum

Hi, using the ldap wizard I've created a service to connect an ldap instance, however, Nagios XI is complaining because the password contains a "!" exclamation point. Any way to escape it. Thank you.

One method is to use the resource.cfg discussed here:

You can also do it by properly escaping from the service/command, but the resource.cfg method is easier as long as you don't have to do it for a lot of entries.

And properly escaping with what..thanks.

Is there a reason the resource.cfg doesn't work for you?

you could define a one-off check that doesn't pass this information as an arugment, but includes it on the remote side as a hard-coded option.

To be more specific we'll need to know how you have things set up.
