Nagios Support Forum

Hi support

We migrated from xen to vmware recently via v2v and we have encounter this error

[nagios@Nagios ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.83.171 -p 5666 -c CheckCounter -a "Counter:Download Bytes/sec=\Network Interface(Xen Net Device Driver)\Bytes Received/sec" ShowAll=long
Exception processing request: Request command contained illegal metachars!

Please help as we do not know which interface bytes should be used

Hi,

On the remote system, can you verify that you have the following directive enabled on the nsclient.ini file? If not, please add this, restart the NSClient service, and then test this once more from the command line and post any error message (if different).

Thanks,
Benjamin
