Check_nt win2k service states and nagios

[Neil Lehouillier]

Tim,
 
first thanks for helping out.  I tried what you suggested but it just
had the same effect.  No changes.  I tried creating the entire command
within checkcommands.cfg.  I have also tried passing the $ARG$ from
Services.cfg but to no avail.  Is anyone out there currently doing
this(ie checking windows nt services with check_nt).  If so, could you
publish the way you have it set up for me to look at (from the cfg files
to the permissions).
 
If anyone has any other ideas I am more than willing to give it a try to
get this working.....
 
Thanks....
 
Neil

	You can define a new check command in your checkcommand.cfg file
such as:

	 

	# 'check_nt_service_exchange' command definition

	define command{

	        command_name    check_nt_service

	        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s
password123 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l $ARG1$

	        }

	 

	Then in your services.cfg file modify the line:

	 

	check_command
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt_exchange!SMTPSVC,AVExch32Service

	 

	I haven't tested with a comma in the check_command line, so you
may need to either add another $ARG$ or place an escape character in the
command.

	Hi All, 

	I'm having a problem monitoring some Win 2k exchange services
using nagios and check_nt from nsclient.  When I execute the following
from the command line su'd to nagios(ie...su - nagios) I get the
following:

	usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.168.0.7 -s password123
-v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l SMTPSVC,AVExch32Service
	
	SMTPSVC: Started - AVExch32Service: Started
	
	But within nagios on the http web page I get:
	Service Checks(SMTP,AV)
	
	WARNING 10-31-2003 09:00:54 0d 0h 6m 11s 1/1 SMTPSVC: Started -
AVExch32Service$: Unknown
	
	Here is the definition in the services.cfg file:
	define service {
	host_name Exchange
	service_description Service Checks(SMTP,AV)
	register 1
	max_check_attempts 1
	normal_check_interval 3
	retry_check_interval 1
	check_period 24x7
	notification_interval 0
	notification_period 24x7
	notification_options w,u,c,r
	contact_groups ntadmins
	check_command "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.168.0.7
-s password123 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l SMTPSVC,AVExch32Service"
	
	Has anyone seen this problem before.......?
	
	
	Thanks...
	
	Neil
