check_nt configuration

[Jon]

Hi,

 

Since you mentioned that you have installed the plugins in a different
location, did you make change to the $USER1$ variable to point it to the
correct location?  To set the variable $USER1$ to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
you need to edit the resource.cfg.

 

You can also try executing the command to see if it actually works.  Just go
to where the check_nt is located and run it.  That would eliminate a few
things.

 

HTH,

 

Jon

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_nt configuration

 

hi all, 

 

I have the same problem as Bobby Bradshaw (from whom I quoted the message
below) : 
 

My Nagios setup is:
Nagios v1.3 (October 24, 2004)
Nagios plugins v1.4.1
 

I have Nagios running correctly, sending notifications, checking ping and
HTTP on several hosts. BUT I have exactly the same problem as Bobby Bradshaw
which is the fact that I can't get Nagios to run "./check_nt -H
192.168.1.111 -v UPTIME" command without getting a "CRITICAL - Socket
timeout after 10 seconds" error or any of the check_nt commands without an
error. I have the Nsclient 2.01 on my Windows NT host. 

 

The error I have is the fact that the system doesn't find the check_nt
service BUT I have installed it in the /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ file, in
fact in my case I changed the path to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ since it's
where the services are located in my configuration.  

 

I have exactly the same question as Bobby Brawn : Is there better
documentation than what is provided with Nsclient? Can I get some pointers
on ALL the cfg files that I have to edit to get the check_nt command to
work.
  
Bobby Bradshaw, I saw that u solved your problem, can u tell how did u do ?
If anyone has an idea, please advise. Thanks in advance !!

NB: I have edited the "checkcommands.cfg" file by adding the following lines
: 

 

 

# 'check_nt_disk' command definition
define command{
 command_name  check_nt_disk
 command_line  $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v USEDDISKSPACE -l

}

}


# 'check_nt_pagingfile' command definition
define command{

 command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l

}
