I'm having some issues getting SQL monitoring setup. To start, it won't connect. I don't know if this is because every time I enter my account name with domain creds in front of it, or if I simply cannot connect. Our server allows only Windows Auth and my user account is set to DBReader, which I assume is plenty of rights to read statistics from the server. Whenever I enter my domain credentials in as such:

DOM\Username

..and click Test Check Command, they appear in the code as:

DOM\\Username

which I'm guessing is why I can't pull any SQL info. Ideas on how to remedy this?

What is the plugin that you are using? Can you show the command that you are running from the command line and the output of it? (You can hide sensitive data).

I suspect that this will only work with SQL server credentials, not Windows domain credentials.

You can see the usage of the plugin by running the "-h" flag:

Here's the code:

./check_mssql_database.py -H '172.15.12.7' -U 'DOM\\username' -P 'dom_pass' -T 'database_name' -I MSSQLSERVER --time2connect --warning 1 --critical 5

I think you're correct with the inability to login with windows domain creds. I used the help option and it says "Specify MSSQL username"

Is there any way around this? We have SQL auth turned off.

Here's the check:

./usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql -H '172.17.16.63' -U 'DOM\user' -P 'password' -I MSSQLSERVER

And I cannot connect. So far, from what I'm reading, everyone is saying that this script cannot pass Windows Auth to SQL.

New question:
Is there a way (any way at all) to pass Windows Auth creds (AD) through this SQL script? We only use Windows Auth on our SQL setup and won't open SQL Auth for a single monitoring solution. I refuse to believe that there is no way to do this...

Unfortunately at this time the plugin only does SQL authentication and cannot use Windows auth.
