Nagios Support Forum

I hope this is easy. I've been staring at it so long I am sure it's simple and I just don't see it.

This command works from the command line of my nagios core server:
./check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.245 -t 30 -c CheckFiles -a path='C:\' pattern=*.MOLE02 'filter=size gt 0b' 'master-syntax={%total% Files Found}' MaxCrit=1

Here is the response:
{4 Files Found}, found files: 4 > critical|'found files'=4;0;1

Here is my windows.cfg service that does not work:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name FS.XXX.Com
service_description MOLE
check_command check_nrpe!check_files!path='c:\\' pattern=*.MOLE02 'warning=count>1' 'critical=count>2' top-syntax='${status}: ${problem_count}/${count} files' 'empty-state=ok'
}

Here is the nrpe command from commands.cfg:
define command {
command_name check_nrpe
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 90 -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}



I would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction,

Thanks

You are missing the -a from the $ARG2$ field in the service check.
Try changing the command to the following and see if that fixes the issue.

I added the "-a" but it did not help, but in the end it was required.

After a LOT of more reading and searching, I updated to the newest nsclient++ and it resolved the issue for me.

So I had two issues. You helped by having me add the "-a" and I also updated the client.

Thank you! Your advice caused me to search further and I found several comments on bug fixes in the newer versions.

Thanks again!

Jason

I am glad your issue has been resolved! Can we close this thread?
