NSCA and Scripts

Is it possible to run a vb script with nsca? If this is the case, what will the syntax like? (I have the NRPE command working, but like to convert to passive checks)

TIA!

    Absolutely... if you use it from NRPE you "create a command" that is linked to your script ie.: (pseudo configuration here dont recall the names off the top of my head) 

    [external scripts]
<command>=<script>
[nrpe handlers]
<alias>=<command>

    where:

    • command = an internal command name inside NSClient++ like check_my_script (it is not used to link the 2).
    • script = the script you want to run.
    • alias = the alias in the nagios configuration (ie. service name).

    so if you have a working nrpe setup you have this: 

    [external scripts]
check_my_script=c:\test.bat

    and then you do: 

    check_nrpe ... -c check_my_script

    to make this run via NSCA you do: 

    [nsca handlers]
my_check=check_my_script

    and then you add a service check to the server with a description: my_check.

    Hope this helps...

      After some more testing... NSC.ini (NRPE working) 

      NRPEListener.dll
[NRPE Handlers]
win_updates=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_windows_updates.wsf /w:0 /c:1

      NSC.ini (NRPE not working) 

      NRPEListener.dll
[External Scripts]
win_updates=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_windows_updates.wsf /w:0 /c:1
[NRPE Handlers]
my_win_updates=win_updates

      NSC.ini (NSCA (and NRPE) working) 

      NRPEListener.dll
NSCAAgent.dll
[External Scripts]
win_updates=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_windows_updates.wsf /w:0 /c:1
[NSCA Commands]
my_win_updates=win_updates
[NRPE Handlers]
win_updates=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_windows_updates.wsf /w:0 /c:1

      NSC.ini (NSCA not working) 

      NSCAAgent.dll
[External Scripts]
win_updates=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_windows_updates.wsf /w:0 /c:1
[NSCA Commands]
my_win_updates=win_updates
[NRPE Handlers]
win_updates=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_windows_updates.wsf /w:0 /c:1

      NSC.ini (NSCA not working) 

      NSCAAgent.dll
[External Scripts]
win_updates=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_windows_updates.wsf /w:0 /c:1
[NSCA Commands]
my_win_updates=win_updates
[NSCA Handlers]
my_win_updates=win_updates

      It looks like the [External Scripts] and [NSCA Handlers] are ignored. If the NRPEListener.dll is "on" then the NSCA script-command is working.

      Is there something i'm missing?

        mmmm... there is two section that does the same (one connected to NRPEListener) so you are probably right. BUT :) The [External Scripts] section should IIRC not be parsed at all by the NRPEListener it has an (old) [NRPE Handlers] section)

        But regardless you need to load the CheckExternalScripts module instead as it can run your external scripts...

          YES! NSCA is working now ;-) without the NRPEListener.

          NSC.ini 

          NSCAAgent.dll
CheckExternalScripts.dll
[External Scripts]
win_updates=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_windows_updates.wsf /w:0 /c:1
[NSCA Handlers]
my_win_updates=win_updates
