Hello,

I am able to monitor the state of services with no spaces in thier name ie 'Netloggon'. Using the same command and entering a service name with spaces 'File Zilla' or 'Plug and Play' fails.

Example of same command working:

Code: Select all

./check_ncpa.py -H 10.0.0.100 -t 'MyToken' -P 5693 -M 'services' -q 'service=Netlogon,status=running'

File returned contained:
{
    "returncode":  0,
    "stdout":  "OK:  Netlogon is running"
}
OK: Netlogon is running

I have tried the following tests using various services with spaces:

Code: Select all

./check_ncpa.py -H 10.0.0.100 -t 'MyToken' -P 5693 -M 'service/FileZilla Server FTP server/running'

./check_ncpa.py -H 10.0.0.100 -t 'MyToken' -P 5693 -M 'services' -q 'service=FileZilla Server FTP Server,status=running'

Both get a return of:
File returned contained:

Code: Select all

{
       "returncode": 3,
       "stdout":   "UNKNOWN:  No services selected with 'service' value given"
}
UNKNOWN:  No services selected with 'service' value given

Have I got the syntax wrong or missed something obvious ?

The bottom one looks good.

Code: Select all

./check_ncpa.py -H 10.0.0.100 -t 'MyToken' -P 5693 -M 'services' -q 'service=FileZilla Server FTP Server,status=running'

This is what I have.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H 192.168.3.242 -t 'mytoken1' -P 5693 -M 'services' -q 'service=Spooler,status=running'
OK: Spooler is running

Are you using the NCPA GUI to help you with active checks? The GUI can create it for you.

I have just finished updating to the latest release to be sure there is no bugs involved. I see you are also successfully using a service with no spaces. Please as a test use the same command and try say 'Plug and Play'.

Let me know if it also fails for you.

Do you actually have a service in windows for that?

I don't have one so I get the same error as you.

No services under this name.

This is what it should look like when I click "Reload"

I used the API viewer and noticed the 'View alternate Format' button. This gave me the exact command output required....

I wish I had known about this sooner. The correct command out it gave was:

Code: Select all

./check_ncpa.py -H 10.0.0.100 -t 'MyToken' -M 'services' -q 'service=FileZilla Server,status=running'

Good call on using the API browser. This will make future commands much easier to deal with.

Glad you were able to find out the correct name.

Yes, the GUI is definitely a great way to help you define the correct checks.

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