Issues with Exchange Monitoring
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2020 9:49 am
Hi,
We're trying to monitor the Exchange 2016 Server running on Windows 2016 with Nagios Xi. Currently we're using the Exchange monitoring wizard unfortunately we're having problems with two checks: Messages Pending Routing and Remote Queue Length. The output we're getting from both ís: "NSClient - ERROR: Invalid return from command: check_pdh"
We think the problem is that Nagios is sending english commands but the server is expecting german performance counters. When we change the command to german, the Nagios client (NSClient++) cant correctly read out Letters that have umlauts (Ä,Ü,Ö). We have already tried to change the performance counter language to english in the registry but it says permission denied.
Version:
Nagios XI 5.6.10 on centos-release-7-7.1908.0.el7.centos.x86_64 from the VMWare OVA Appliance
Your help will be highly appreciated, thank you in advance,
Max
PS:
The original performance counter in the wizard doesn't seem to be supported by exchange 2016. the performance counters we're using instead are:
"-l "\\MSExchangeTransport Queues(_total)\\Retry Remote Delivery Queue Length" -w 25 -c 100"
"-l "\\MSExchangeTransport Queues(_total)\\Active Remote Delivery Queue Length" -w 25 -c 50"
we got these from https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... dh#p280009
