Nagios Support Forum

I am running into a problem with monitoring sql services where if its a named instance it changes the service name from MSSQLSERVER
to MSSQL$Instancename.

When you run the check it states the service is not found.

[nagios@Nagiosserver]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H servername -s "xxxxxx" -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l MSSQL$Instancename -d SHOWALL
MSSQL: Not found


These servers are running the NSClient

I am glad I could help!
