Another NSClient question

[Massey, Craig]

Just what I was going to say.
Here are a couple of my commands as an example

define command{

    name check_nt_process

    command_name check_nt_process

    command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -s $USER3$ -d
SHOWALL -v PROCSTATE -l $ARG1$

    }

define command{

    name check_nt_service

    command_name check_nt_service

    command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -s $USER3$ -d
SHOWALL -v SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$

    }

I put the following in my resource.cfg

# Store some usernames and passwords (hidden from the CGIs)

$USER3$=xxxxx

HTH

I just reread this.  Your syntax is wrong.  Use the -s switch not -p for the
password.

I restarted the server and it still gives me an "No output".  Here is some
info is this helps in any way.  Thanks
# NSClient -- Server
command[check_nt_disk_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H 127.0.0.1  -P 1248 -p
xxxxx -v USEDDISKSPACE -l C -w 80 -c 90
command[check_nt_cpuload_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H 127.0.0.1  -P 1248 -p
xxxxx -v CPULOAD -l 10,80,95,60,80,95,1440,80,95
command[check_nt_uptime_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H 127.0.0.1  -P 1248 -p
xxxxx -v UPTIME
command[check_nt_clientversion_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H 127.0.0.1  -P
1248 -p xxxxx -v CLIENTVERSION
command[check_nt_process_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H 127.0.0.1  -P 1248 -p
xxxxx -v PROCSTATE -l $ARG1$
command[check_nt_service_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H 127.0.0.1  -P 1248 -p
xxxxx -v SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$
command[check_nt_memuse_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H 127.0.0.1  -P 1248 -p
xxxxx -v MEMUSE -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
command[check_nt_fileage_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H 127.0.0.1  -P 1248 -p
xxxxx -v FILEAGE ~Vl $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
command[check_nt_pagingfile_Server]=$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -P
1248 -p xxxxx -v COUNTER -l " \\Paging <file://\\Paging>  File(_Total)\\%
Usage","Paging File usage is %.2f %%" -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

Here is my commands.  Note 127.0.0.1 is not actually IP just replacing the
actual and "xxxxx" is masking the password.

The registry key holds the password string.  You then use (as you
speculated) the -p option on the check_nt command to send the password to
the nt box.  When I did it I had to restart the server when after adding the
password to my servers.  Restarting the nsclient nt service did not work.

I understand that I can put the key in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-> SOFTWARE -> NSClient -> Params -> password, and modify it to suit
whichever password I choose.  But I am a little confused about what config
file I store this password in on the Nagios box.  I was thinking I used the
"-p" flag in the commands configuration file, then the password following.
But I must be forgetting something.  Any ideas would be great, thanks guys
