check_nt configuration

[Mark.Law at thomson.com]

Can someone explain why the first definition fails and the second
succeeds?    I should note that the first definition only fails if the
"service name" has spaces in it.

 

 

 

define command{
 command_name check_nc_net_with_l_d
 command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v $ARG1$ -l
"service name"
 }

 

define command{
 command_name check_nc_net_with_l_d
 command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H hostname -p 1248 -v $ARG1$ -l "service
name"
 }

I know the following works for NC_Net but I am not sure if it works for
ns_client but I assume it should.

 

add the  " on the command definition again,  

command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v
SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l "$ARG1$"

 

because the check_command is delimited by the !  and can have spaces in
it without the "   thus:

check_command   check_nt!HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE

 

 

I use the following in my config 

check_command
check_nc_net_with_l_d!SERVICESTATE!MSSQL\$BKUPEXEC,Backup Exec Job
Engine,Backup Exec Server!SHOWALL

 

define command{
 command_name check_nc_net_with_l_d
 command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v $ARG1$ -l
"$ARG2$" -d $ARG3$
 }

 

 

I hope this helps

I have a different problem with check_nt.

             /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H servername -p 1248  -v
SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l "HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE" 

 

works great and returns: 

 

             HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE: Started

 

just like it is supposed to do.  However, when run from nagios it says:

 

             HUMMINGBIRD STR SERVICE: Unknown

 

The check_nt command definition has been modified like this:

 

             command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l $ARG1$ 

 

I removed the quotes from around $ARG1$ so that multiple services could
be checked by passing with embedded quotes, like "server","service with
space in the name", etc. 

 

This works great on one server running nagios but not the other.  I have
check and re-checked paths, permissions, check_nt versions and am
stumped. 

 

Any help out there?

 

Thanks,

Mark

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
