Nagios Support Forum

In Nagios XI 5.4.7 and ncpa agents installed on SQL servers

We are using :check_xi_ncpa to check availability of SQL Services

$USER1$/check_ncpa.py -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

-M 'service/SQLAgent$MSSQLSERVER2012/running'
-M 'service/MSSQL$MSSQLSERVER2012/running'

Here is the result:

CRITICAL: SQLAgent$MSSQLSERVER2012 is running (should be running$)
CRITICAL: MSSQL$MSSQLSERVER2012 is running (should be running$)

Any ideas who resolve that using ncpa Agents check?

When a service has a $ in the name, they have to be treated differently than normal checks.
Try editing the argumeny and change it like the example below and let is know if it works. Notice the extra "$" and that it does not have the single quotes.

Thanks. That worked
We can close this thread now

Closing topic as resolved.
