NSClient++ Help (#1) - (#1002) - Message List

Hello,

I'm having an issue similar to this: http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/discussion/topic/964

Here's my setup:

• I've installed the latest NSClient++ available (0.4.0.172), 64-bit edition on a Windows machine I want to monitor
• I edited the nclient.ini and added this:

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
check_proc_cnt=scripts\\check_winprocess.exe  --warn 100 --critical 300
check_proc=scripts\\check_winprocess.exe
check_flux=scripts\\check_winprocess.exe --filter "imagename eq flux.exe" --critical 0

• check_winprocess.exe is indeed copied in the scripts sub-directory of the NSClient install directory (you can get it from ​https://www.itefix.no/i2/check_winprocess if you need to test)

• on the nagios server, I try the following commands:

root@ubuntu:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H10.0.0.4 -c check_proc_cnt
PROCESS OK - 97 process(es)|'processes'=97;100;300

so that one works; on the other hand:

root@ubuntu:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H10.0.0.4 -c check_flux
CHECK_NRPE: No output returned from daemon.

and the NSClient log file contains:

2012-06-20 11:30:28: l:..\..\..\..\trunk\modules\CheckExternalScripts\CheckExternalScripts.cpp:229: Arguments: --filter imagename eq flux.exe --critical 0
2012-06-20 11:30:28: c:D:\source\nscp\trunk\include\nscapi/nscapi_plugin_wrapper.hpp:245: Exception in: NSHandleCommand: bad lexical cast: source type value could not be interpreted as target

And I can't seem to call check_proc with the -a switch on the server, I always end up with errors in the log:

2012-06-20 11:44:32: e:..\..\..\..\trunk\modules\NRPEServer\handler_impl.cpp:17: Request contained arguments (not currently allowed, check the allow arguments option).

Here are some of my attempts from the Nagios server:

root@ubuntu:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H10.0.0.4 -c check_proc -a "--filter \"imagename eq flux.exe\" --critical 0"
Request contained arguments (not currently allowed, check the allow arguments option).
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H10.0.0.4 -c check_proc -a "--filter imagename eq flux.exe --critical 0"
Request contained arguments (not currently allowed, check the allow arguments option).
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H10.0.0.4 -c check_proc -a --warn 100 --critical 300
./check_nrpe: unrecognized option '--critical'
== I've cut the usage screen here ==
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H10.0.0.4 -c check_proc -a "--warn 100 --critical 300"
Request contained arguments (not currently allowed, check the allow arguments option).

So, I'm not even 100% sure it's a NSClient issue, maybe it's a check_process issue... But I have to start somewhere :)

I'm rather new to Nagios too, so maybe it's the way I call it from the server that's no right?
Thanks for your help!
