Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
We're having issues with a MSSQL query check that works on a older version of Nagios XI (5.4.13) but not on a newer Nagios XI version (5.6.7). Here are examples of the query issues we're having. You can see the query works fine on v5.4.13. But not on v5.6.7 Can someone assist me with this?


--username ***** --password ***** --database ***** --query "declare @t table (Result VARCHAR(10)) INSERT INTO @t EXEC DBA_NumJobsFailed 540 SELECT CASE WHEN Result > 0 THEN 'True' ELSE 'False' end FROM @t" --result "False" --decode --warning 50 --critical 200

CRITICAL: Query expected "False" but got "".|query_duration=0.008701s;50;200 ''=;


We are running check_mssql version: -V 0.7.3 on Old Nagios XI Result (5.4.13), and -V 0.8.4 on Newer Nagios XI Result (5.6.7)

The configuration files are identical on both servers.

Hi,

This could be a bug in the newer version of the plugin. Looking at the output in the second line, it's not able to make correctly determine the output of the query is false or 0.

What happens when you use a boolean match on the second machine.

Hello,
Could of give me some examples of the boolean match?

He mispoke, he didn't mean boolean, he listed the command he wanted you to try:
Does this even work (run it from the CLI)?
NOTE: decode is only used when you urlencode the query, your query is not encoded so no reason to use decode.

This did not work.
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql -H ***** --username ***** --password ***** --database ***** --query "declare @t table (Result VARCHAR(10)) INSERT INTO @t EXEC DBA_NumJobsFailed 540 SELECT CASE WHEN Result > 0 THEN 'True' ELSE 'False' end FROM @t" --result 0 --decode --warning 50 --critical 200 did not work.

Just waiting for a co-working to get back to me about ---
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql -H ***** --username ***** --password ***** --database ***** --query "select @@version;" --warning 50 --critical 200

This is what we got from the
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql -H ***** --username ***** --password ***** --database ***** --query "select @@version;" --warning 50 --critical 200

Ok, so that worked, try this one:
I urlencoded the query using this page (that's what --decode is for):

Hello, this one did not work either

What is the full output of the command?

Hello this is what we're seeing....
