Good morning,
I'm running the following command:

./check_nrpe -H 99.99.99.99 -c check_files -a "path=c:/windows/" pattern=*.exe "filter=version != '1.0'" "detail-syntax=%(filename): %(version)" "warn=count > 1" show-all

and it's reporting

Code: Select all

No files found|'count'=0;1;0

even though there are 8 .exe files in the c:\Windows folder, none of which have a version of 1.0

Just in case I'd misunderstood the functionality, I then changed the "1.0" to a version for which there was one file in the C:\Windows folder with that version, but the result was the same.

Can anyone suggest where I might be going wrong, please?
Thanks in advance
Pete

Which NSClient version are you running?

I have the same error when I'm running the command just as you are.

When I take out "filter=version != '1.0'", it works just fine.

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H 192.168.3.46 -c check_files -a "path=c:/windows/" pattern=*.exe "detail-syntax=%(filename): %(version)" "warn=count > 1"
WARNING: 0/3832 files (bfsvc.exe: 6.1.7601.17514, explorer.exe:

Although, I did check specific version #'s on 1 of the .exe and made it exact. It worked..

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H 192.168.3.46 -t 60 -c check_files -a "path=c:/windows/" pattern=*.exe "filter=version = '6.1.7600.16385'" "detail-syntax=%(filename): %(version)" "warn=count > 1"

WARNING: 0/1107 files (fveupdate.exe: 6.1.7600.16385, hh.exe: 6.1.7600.16385, regedit.exe: 6.1.7600.16385,

I think the issue is from this or at least something similar ---> "0.4.3 and 0.4.4 has a rather nasty issue when it comes to count which means it does not work for < cases. This has been fixed in 0.5.0"

Thanks for replying - what you've given me helps me to get around the problem I have, now that I can check for a particular version against a particular file. I'm on 0.4.3.143, by the way.

Glad I could help, and that you found a workaround!

Did you have any more questions or are we okay to lock this up?
