Sorry, I am not familiar with Network 8.4.

What are you trying to accomplish?

[biswajit.banerjee]

My Apologies , It is Dell EMC Networker .
We are trying to monitor windows networker backup server job status .

[scottwilkerson]

And did the plugin not get you what you need? Looks like it was designed to run under NSClient++

I see the description has this

Code: Select all

check_networker_job=c:exploitscriptsstartallnagiosCheck_Networker_Job.cmd $ARG1$

which should really be

Code: Select all

check_networker_job=c:\full\path\to\script\Check_Networker_Job.cmd $ARG1$

[biswajit.banerjee]

The plugin is failing to give output .
# ./check_nrpe -H IP -c checknetworkerjob
The command (checknetworkerjob) returned an invalid return code: 255

[scottwilkerson]

can you share your nsclient configuration?

Also, can you confirm the plugin works if you run it from the command line on the windows server?

[biswajit.banerjee]

nsclient.ini

Code: Select all

# If you want to fill this file with all avalible options run the following command:
#   nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
# If you want to activate a module and bring in all its options use:
#   nscp settings --activate-module <MODULE NAME> --add-defaults
# For details run: nscp settings --help

What is the output if you run the command directly on the Windows server:

Check_Networker_Job.bat EVS01CRS01

?

Also, you may need to change the nsclient.ini line:

checknetworkerjob=scripts\Check_Networker_Job.bat EVS01CRS01

to:

checknetworkerjob=scripts\\Check_Networker_Job.bat EVS01CRS01

or as @scottwilkerson mentioned:

checknetworkerjob=c:\full\path\to\script\Check_Networker_Job.cmd EVS01CRS01

[biswajit.banerjee]

Hi,

We have checked by both command as you suggested. But getting same output.

checknetworkerjob=scripts\\Check_Networker_Job.bat EVS01CRS01

And

checknetworkerjob=C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\Check_Networker_Job.bat EVS01CRS01

Please suggest how we can resolve this error.

# ./check_nrpe -H IP -c checknetworkerjob
The command (checknetworkerjob) returned an invalid return code: 255

[cdienger]

Open a command line on the Windows server and navigate to the location of the script:

cd C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\

run:

Check_Networker_Job.bat EVS01CRS01

and provide the output.
