Nagios Support Forum

Hi

I am trying to monitor all services that are set to automatic, but I need to exclude a few services. These services contain spaces. Below are the command I am using:

define command{
command_name check_service
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c CheckServiceState -a CheckAll "exclude=NetBackup Device Manager"
}

This is sending the command wrong and splitting the service name up:

7 15:57:40: debug:NSClient++.cpp Injecting: CheckServiceState: CheckAll, exclude=NetBackup, Device, Manager"

Could somebody please help ?

Thanks

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with what you've defined so it's curious as to why it's behaving like that... as a side note I normally define mine like:

command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c CheckServiceState -a CheckAll exclude="NetBackup Device Manager"

It shouldn't matter but you can see if that helps.

Hi

I have also tried that and it also doesnt work.

Which version of Nagios are you running? There's been a few issues kicking around regarding NRPE and Nagios 3.4.0 and the advice so far has been to update to Nagios 3.4.1... which might solve your problem:

3.4.1 - 05/11/2012
FIXES
Double quotes in check_command definition break functionality (#332, reverts #86)

I was running 3.40, Just upgraded to 3.41 and it fixed my issue.

Thanks so much for your help

I'm guessing that fixed your issue in the other thread as well? Sorry I misunderstood your question there! Glad that helped

Yes all good now.

thanks
