NSClient++ Help (#1) - send some performance data (#424) - Message List

Can fix that later on, but in essence, the preformance data is passed "as is" so check how it looks for another command.

In short though:

echo <string>|<performance data>
exit <code>

<performance data> is along the following lines (dont recall from the top of my head so this is "aproximation"): <key>=<value>;<warn>;<crit;<max>;<min>;

so:

echo OK We are all good|perfdata=34;10;12;100;0
exit 0

But again, I dont recall the exact syntax so check the nagios docs or a command...

I tried in the same way. And i checked it in the nagios plugins as well.

But when ever i add the grep symbol to that line it starts giving this error in the nagios. And the status of it changers to UNKNOWN as well. Status Information:'perfdata' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Can you please give a try on this and check an possible way to do this.

Thank you

The error code inside the NSClient++ is

error:modules\CheckExternalScripts\CheckExternalScripts.cpp:141: The command (scripts\fi.oulu.ubilife.rm.core.NFCReader.bat) returned an invalid return code: 255

ohh...

The | char is a command so you need to escape it like so:

C:\>echo foo|bar
bar är inte ett internt kommando, externt kommando,
program eller kommandofil.
C:\>echo "foo|bar"
"foo|bar"

That will give you "":s though which you probably dont want and on NT based windows there are ways around it: ​http://ss64.com/nt/echo.html

Like so:

C:\>echo foo^|bar
foo|bar

Thank you MickeM

now it works fine
