After some more trial and error, I got the command check fixed but there is still an issue.
The command I am sending is:
root at van-nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nt -H van-mail01 -s xr1p71c -p 12779 -v COUNTER -l "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120
The output is: 0
When I check nsclient.log; here is what I have:
2009-05-06 11:09:18: debug:.\NSClientListener.cpp:146: Data: xr1p71c&8&“MSExchangeISConnection
2009-05-06 11:09:18: debug:.\NSClientListener.cpp:171: Data: “MSExchangeISConnection

(“MSExchangeISConnection|“MSExchangeISConnection)
Where is "“" coming from??

Hello,
I am trying to use NSClient++ to monitor performance counters; previously I only used it to check disk space etc, but I am trying to make sure of the "-v COUNTER -l" switch more now as it is very powerful.
In my config I have:
define command{
command_name check_nt_exchange_messages_delivered_per_min
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120
}
However, when I try to test this from my box with:
./check_nt -H van-mail01 -s xr1p71c -p 12779 -v COUNTER -l "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120
I get:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Also, on Nagios it reports as "null"; which I would assume is because of the above syntax issue.
How can I fix this?
The source I got my counter from is:
http://www.hackmyidea.com/wordpress/2007/11/14/misc-windows-checks-for-nagios/
Also, I noticed in my NSClient++ installation in the windows box (Exchange 2005/Win2003) there is a counters.defs file, should I be making use of that and entering the counters in there as opposed to calling them from commands.cfg ? If so, how could I use the ./check_nt to call a performance counter defined in counters.defs ? (assuming this is what its for?).
Thanks.
