Hello there!

I'm trying to configure a Windows Server 2012 to be able to run a script by nsclient.

1 - I have nsclient already installed, see the output:
root@nagios ~ # /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.10.10.10 -p 5666
I (0.5.2.39 2018-02-04) seem to be doing fine...

2 - When I try to run the same command above, using the - c "command" it does not work. I have tried everything I know!
root@nagios ~ # /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.10.10.10 -p 5666 -c check_vmware_snapshots -t 50 (-t 70, no way)
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 50 seconds.

3 - When I run my script in the local nsclient terminal, it works:
powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "c:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" "& 'C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\check_vmware_snapshots.ps1'"
Critical - 1 snapshots older than 5 days - @{VM=SERVER01}

I'm going to share my powershell script and my nsclient configuration. Note that my nsclient.ini has many conf I tried.

powershell script

check_vmware_snapshots.txt: (1.3 KiB) Downloaded 242 times

nsclient config

nsclient.txt: (12.56 KiB) Downloaded 283 times

If I use this command: "check_vmware_snapshots = cmd /c echo hello" in that script section and run in my nagios server, I do see the "hello".

How should I add that command into my nsclient.ini to get this working?

Please, any help is really welcome

Thanks!

The command in the nsclient.ini file may not be formatted correctly so change this line from

Code: Select all

ps1 = cmd /c echo If (-Not (Test-Path "scripts\%SCRIPT%") ) { Write-Host "UNKNOWN: Script `"%SCRIPT%`" not found."; exit(3) }; scripts\%SCRIPT% $ARGS$; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe /noprofile -command -

to

Code: Select all

ps1 = cmd /c echo scripts\\%SCRIPT% %ARGS%; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -

Then change this line from

Code: Select all

check_vmware_snapshots = powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "c:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" "& 'C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\check_vmware_snapshots.ps1'" ; exit($lastexitcode)

to

Code: Select all

check_vmware_snapshots = cmd /c echo "c:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" "& 'C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\check_vmware_snapshots.ps1'"; exit ($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command -

Save the file and restart NSClient++.

If you still get the error, get the nsclient.log file from the server and post ti here so we can view the errors.
