Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
I've recently set up basic agentless monitoring for a number of Windows servers using the check_wmi_plus plugin. I've run into an issue though: the "checkservice" command always comes back saying there is no service of that name running, even if there definitely, absolutely, 100% is. I've seen a fewf other threads for people who seem to have the same issue:

However, my issue does not seem to be one with permissions, as the service account performing the WMI checks can see the services if I just run a WMI check directly through WMIC. My version of Perl is apparently up to date as well.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be doing some scripting anyway to get some other features working that check_wmi_plus doesn't conveniently offer, but I just figured I'd check if I'm missing something obvious before I dive deep into programming.
Thank you very much.

Figured it out! Turns out the commands provided at https://edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus/docum ... finitions/ don't all work as written. Any instance where $ARGx$ is surrounded by single quotes, the command won't work. Removing the quotes makes it work fine.
Hopefully this helps anyone struggling with the same issue.

Glad to hear and thanks for the follow up!
