[Nagios-users] monitor windows service with "$"
Hi List, I currently configure the monitoring of some windows services. Just one service is having some problems. I looked in the registry for the "real" name of the service. It's like "service$DB" When I now try to check this service, I get the following: nag...@nagios:~> /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 10.2.30.190 -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l "service$DB" service: Not found It looks like it cuts off everything behind the $.

What happens if you do the following? /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 10.2.30.190 -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l "service\$DB" On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 10:03 AM, DE/HAM Hoppe, Leif wrote: > Hi List, > > I currently configure the monitoring of some windows services. > Just one service is having some problems. > > I looked in the registry for the "real" name of the service.

I expect that the shell is interpreting $DB as a shell variable.

You didn't need to AFAIK.

Note that he's running this from the shell directly. Nagios isn't
doing anything to it at all; no macro parsing etc... To prevent nagios
from trying to parse the $ as the start of a macro from within the
command{} definition, use $$ ('service$$DB' or 'MSSQL$$BKUPEXEC' in
your case).

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor windows service with "$"
\$DB works for me in the shell.
When I try to check "service$$DB" in nagios now, I get: "Status Information:
service: Not found"
So he ignores everything after and including the $.
Idea?

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor windows service with "$"
Ok, I got the solution, just the ' was missing.
Now it looks like:
check_nt!SERVICESTATE! -l 'service$$DB'
and works :)
Thanks to all.
