Nagios Support Forum

Hello guys, i am not the greatest in Nagios and wanted to get your opinion. I want to get your opinion the best way to display a registry key value. I am not trying to setup warning or criticle message at the moment, i simply want to be able to view the output of the value. I have the NSclient installed on most of my devices.

The main goal for me is to get information about mcafee on my devices. for example i run this command below.

cmd: REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\McAfee\Endpoint\Common\ /v ProductVersion

output: product version 10.7.0

^^ this is what i am wanting to be able to display for my devices via nagios for information purposes not alerts.

If you can construct a .bat file that will print out what you want reported to Nagios XI, you can plug it into NCPA as a plugin. Something like the Windows "reg query" command

Here's a guide: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... a-722.html

Thank you for the reply. Most of my machines are using the NSclient. Is it possible to do the same thing using check_nrpe?

i got the scripts to work via nrpe , my next question is how to make the service display the result for status information?

it appears once i click into the service, but i wont appear in the status information.


the bat file read as this

ECHO OFF
REG QUERY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\McAfee\Endpoint\Common\ /v ProductVersion
EXIT 0


see screen shot 1 in attachments: it shows information i am wanting when i click into the service see screen shot 2: no status information appears. i want the highlighted information from screen shot 1 to appear in the status information. any suggestions?

Change it to @echo off to suppress that line.

Remember that whatever gets output to the console from the bat file is what's put as the check result from Nagios calling NRPE. Example:

I added @ to the echo off. but it still isn't showing the output under status information.

here is screen shot of the bat file. Is this what you was talking about?

Code: Select all

OK - load average: 0.23, 0.39, 0.36

Code: Select all

CRITICAL - 192.168.254.13: rta nan, lost 100%

is there something i need to add to the argument to display the information under status information? The goal is for me to see it in green always, i am using this for information purposes not for alerts. so i just want to see the output under status information as OK or green.

Try this:

is there a way to filter out only the numbers in the results ? for example see screen shot , it shows the whole output but i am wanting to view only the number(highlighted area)
