Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I am quite new to Nagios and have reached the stage where I need to call external batch files which include argument. I have tested this using nrpe and it is successful although would like to use NCPA.


I have move the batch file 'check_windows_time.bat' to the /plugins directory.

From the windows server plugins directory using cli I run the batch file successfully using - the args after the.bat are ntp source and offset
check_windows_time 10.0.0.1 30 10 and receive the correct output -
OK: Time is+00.0250767s from 10.0.0.1:'Offset'=00s;30;10;0

How do I call this from the Nagios box using check_ncpa.py

from /usr/local/libexec

./check_ncpa.py -v -H 10.0.0.100 -t MyToken -P 5693 -M 'plugins/check_windows_time.bat' ???????

What version of NCPA do you have?

I'm using the latest version 2.1.1 and check_ncpa.py version 1.1.2 (we are on 1.1.3 now) You would have to make sure the bat file is /plugins directory of your windows machine. Is where I put mine in, it's likely the same for you.

After that, I ran my check like this from my XI server. (192.168.3.242 is my windows machine) I hope this helps!

Many thanks for your reply. I just needed to figure out the correct syntax for passing the args. It worked perfectly.

Thankyou.

Sounds good!
