NSClient++ Help (#1) - How do I re-order the output from CheckWMI (#878) - Message List

It doesn't matter how I order the WMI query the output is always the same. For example:

Using this command:

./check_nrpe -H <host> -p 5666 -c CheckWMI -a "Query=Select Version,Caption,CSDVersion from win32_OperatingSystem" columnSyntax="%value%" columnSeparator=", "

I get the following output:

Service Pack 2, Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Standard Edition, 5.2.3790|'wmi query'=1

When I re-order the WMI query nothing changes.

Using this command:

./check_nrpe -H vault09 -p 5666 -c CheckWMI -a "Query=Select CSDVersion,Version,Caption from win32_OperatingSystem" columnSyntax="%value%" columnSeparator=", "

I get the following output:

Service Pack 2, Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Standard Edition, 5.2.3790|'wmi query'=1

The only difference between the two commands is "Version,Caption,CSDVersion" compared to "CSDVersion,Version,Caption".

You can see that the output is identical, it is not returned in any logical order. I would assume that the order of the select statement should be the order that the data is returned. If this is not possible then some ability to re-order the output would be good.

Does this make sense?
