What did I need to make SSL working?
1) Generate *.pem certificate on CA server
2) Copy the file to /security
3) set config file to “use ssl = 1″
4) Restart service
CHECK_NRPE: Error – Could not complete SSL handshake.
What did I miss? Please give me some hint. I have never worked with NSClient before…
Hi all,
sorry for my bad eng …
I think I have some problems with simple quote and french characters in counter’s name.
for example :
check_pdh “counter=\Disque physique(_Total)\Longueur moyenne de file d’attente du disque”
->
Failed to poll counter: \Disque physique(_Total)\Longueur moyenne de file d’attente du disque PdhAddCounter failed: c0000bb8: L’objet spécifié n’a pas été trouvé sur l’ordinateur.
(IE : objet not found)
but this one work perfectly :
check_pdh “counter=\Disque physique(_Total)\Octets disque/s”
->
OK: |’\Disque physique(_Total)\Octets disque/s_value’=53745;0;0
I try to add :
[/settings/NRPE/server]
encoding = utf8
or
[/settings/NRPE/server]
encoding = system
but without effet.
Any idea ?
Hello,
Is there a way to execute nrpe commands locally on a server with NSClient installed? If I for example would want to execute checkmem with check_nrpe, how would I do this locally on a Windows server?
Grtz

Looks like the version you are trying to install is not supported in Win2k SP4.
Try installing NSCLient++ 0.3.9x. That should work.
Thanks! I already did it some month ago 
Did this get fixed in 0.4.3.88? Or is there another way of getting folder sizes?
Hi,
up please.
I also try to enable nasty characters, but still KO…
I’m stuck 
I am using “check_nrpe -H IP -c alias_up” to check uptime, however I dont’ like the default values for warning and critical that 0.43 has.
I have tried a few things, however it did not work.
How can I change these values?
Thank you.
Hi,
I have created my own powershell check file exsist script. But Im stuck when i user arguments. If i use a path as an argument. lik: D:\Temp\Center\ it won’t work. If i add the path to my script and the other arguments it works.
Is it not possible to add paths as an argument.
The line in the nsclient.ini is:
check_file_crm = cmd /c echo scripts\check_file.ps1 $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$; exit ($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command –
To test the file i do it from my nagios server../check_nrpe -n -H 10.X.X.X -C check_file_crm -a D:\Temp\Center\ test.txt 60
Hello,
I want to migrate our monitoring agent from release 0.4.1 to release 0.4.3.
If I don’t change main configuration file, I have these error messages:
Seems we cant agree on SSL: no shared cipher
Please review the legacy as well as ssl options in settings.I tried to put option insecure=1, allowed ciphers=ADH but nothing …
The goal is to setup nsclient++ in order to work as before, not to disable SSL option.

Samuel Mutel.
I am sorry for a such a basic question but I am quite newbe with this.
I have a Nagios 4 and NCClient++ 0.4.2.114 on Windows Server 2003
I have Nagios configured and be able to receive emails is some services are down.
Now I dont know how to do it with Event Viewer logs.
Lets say I would like to be alerted if Error ID: 1000 appears in Applications.
What do I have to do in nsclient.ini and what on nagios site?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Anyone can answer how to configure the nsclient.ini to send windows real time event log to 2 nagiosxi NSCA server?
I just try again with the latest version (0.4.3.131), and still stuck
Failed to poll counter: \Disque physique(_Total)\Longueur moyenne de file d’attente du disque PdhAddCounter failed: c0000bb8:
with ou with nasty chars and with “utf8″ or “system” in encoding
To solve this issue add theses lines in main configuration file:
[/settings/NRPE/server]
insecure=1

Hello All,
I am completely new to nsclient++ and have a few questions. We are attempting to use the real-time eventlog monitoring capability to send certain event log messages to Nagios. I would like to be able to filter on the event text and update a single service in nagios. I would also like the entire event log message text to be sent. Is this possible with real-time monitor? Could someone provide a quick sample of some syntax I should include in my nsclient.cfg.
Many thanks in advance.
Hi,
I just tried the latest stable version NSCP-0.4.3.131-x64, but the above mentioned problem still exists.

Hi,
When will ready the document for how to configure real-time system event log? It is still in “ToDO” status.
http://docs.nsclient.org/0.4.3/tutorial/nagios/nsca.html#real-time-eventlog-checks
i have 2 Windows 2012 servers with the 0.4.3.131 client installed.
When I run check_drivesize against the VM, I get a valid response:
blake@smeagol:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H theoden.foo.org -t 20 -u -n -c check_drivesize -a “warn=free lt 10%” “crit=free lt 5%” “filter=type in (fixed)”
OK All 1 drive(s) are ok|’C:\ free’=44.71645GB;19.9997;9.99985;0;199.99706 ‘C:\ free %’=22%;9;4;0;100
When I run the same command against my physical system, I get an error:
blake@smeagol:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H ferny.foo.org -t 20 -u -n -c check_drivesize -a “warn=free lt 10%” “crit=free lt 5%” “filter=type in (fixed)”
CHECK_NRPE: Invalid packet type received from server.
They are the same client and should have the same config file
blake@smeagol:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H theoden.foo.org -t 20 -u -n -c check_version
0.4.3.131 2015-02-15|
