NSClient++ Help (#1) - allow_arguments doesn't work (#946) - Message List
hi, I have nsclient++ 0.4.0-153 on windows server 2008 SP1
In my nsclient.ini file I have:
; Section for external scripts configuration options (CheckExternalScripts). scripts
allow_arguments=1
allow_nasty_meta_chars=1
And from my nagios server I test it and get:
[root@nagios libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.7.46 -p 5666 -c checkwmivalue -a 'Query=SELECT StatusCode? FROM check_ping WHERE Address="$ARG1$"' MaxCrit=1 Check:Status:=StatusCode
Request contained arguments (not currently allowed, check the allow_arguments option).
the log file says:
2012-04-04 17:16:51: e:..\..\..\..\trunk\modules\NRPEServer\handler_impl.cpp:17: Request contained arguments (not currently allowed, check the allow_arguments option).
which could be the issue?
thanks !

In 0.4.0 the configuration format has changed...
So you need to either use nsc.ini (old configuration format) or change to the new nsclient.ini.
You can change by running the following command (assuming you do HAVE nsc.ini and do NOT HAVE nsclient.ini the folder nsclient folder.
nscp settings --migrate-to ini

But if you have a nsc.ini it will use your OLD configuration just fine (in around 95% or so of the cases) but it has to be named nsc.ini not nsclient.ini...

when just installed I only got nsclient.ini file (real name displayed is nsclient, but I assume it's .ini for its content), so I can't use the command because, as you said, I have not a nsc.ini file.
So what I did was change rawly the name from nsclient to nsc, but the problem is here.
what can be?
thanks.

Your problem is the keys should NOT be with underscores (that's the old format)....
A good way to "solve this" is to runt he following command:
nscp settings --generate settings --add-defaults
THat will add all "normal keys" to your settings file correctly with descriptions...
You can (if you do):
nscp settings --help
Get some more details. There are options for generating all keys from all modeuls (default is only modules you have configured) and some other usefull things...
