CheckCounter – Thresholds not working

I’m running NSClient++ 0.4.3.88

I’m attempting to setup a NagiosXI service to check Windows performance counters using NSClient++ NRPE (check_nrpe). Even though I set the threshold values (MaxWarn & MaxCrit), the return is always zero (0;0). I used the Processor Time counter as an example and put a 100% load on the cpu. Am I missing something?

./check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -p 5666 -c CheckCounter -a “Counter=\\Processor Information(_Total)\\% Processor Time” ShowAll MaxWarn=80 MaxCrit=90
OK: |’\Processor Information(_Total)\% Processor Time’=100;0;0

Settings that worked for me with NRPE are:

-c check_uptime -a “critical=uptime<0″ “warning=uptime<0″

Problems with check_service

I’m trying to get check_service in 0.4.3 to display the same behavior I was getting in 0.4.1 from checkServiceState. So you are aware, I’m running these using legacy NRPE.

First off, I can’t check services based on their display name any longer. For example, if I run -c check_service -a "service=Adobe Acrobat Update Service" I get Failed to open service: Adobe Acrobat Update Service. If I check using the service name (in this case AbodeARMservice) then it works. It used to also check via the display name.

Second, it doesn’t display any detail/performance data. When I use checkServiceState, it provides data showing the exact status of each service that I’m checking. When I use check_service, it only tells me that all X number of services are OK, or if one or more has failed which service that is. Ideally, I’d like to see that all X of my services are working, but also see all the services that are being checked.

Hi all,

Anyone have any information for how to write real time event log filter syntax or example for NSClient++ – 0.4.3.131?

The following example are confirmed not work in Nsclient 0.4.3.131
filter= level = (warning) AND ID NOT IN (1,2,3,100)
filter= level = (warning,error) AND ID NOT IN (1,3,30,1000)
filter= level = (warning)
filter= level = (error)
fitler= level = “warning”
fitler= level = “error”
fitler= level = ‘warning’
fitler= level = ‘error’

Double check that both systems have the same version of NSClient++ installed, and that they have the exact same config file.

Hi Joffrey,
tre teh Numeric Values form the Registry
you can find the Values
in the Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib
009> Counter contains the English Values
for example
“\\physikalischer Datenträger(0 D:)\\Mittlere Sek./Lesevorgänge”!ShowAll!MaxWarn=0.0020 don’t work because german “umlaute”
So try the num. Value all works fine

Numerische Werte wegen Umlauten verwenden
234 > Physikalischer Datenträger
214 > Lesevorgänge/s

\234(_total)\214

hope it help

Yes, it’s work ! :)
Big thanks !

check_pdh “counter=\234(_Total)\1400″ ->
OK: \234(_Total)\1400 = 0

I found translation in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\CurrentLanguage

But I test this since 1 hour, and the counter is always at “0” …
Even when I “stress” the server’s disks with massiv data copy, and when the perfmon show that the counter is different from “0”…

One problem solved, but it’s not the end :)

Still investigating

It’s work ! Thanks again Stefan ! U make my day :)

I just have to replace $alias by the common name to have an explicit tag and the job is done

So, we have a nice workarround, but it would be cool that NSClient support Unicode in counters for the futures release !

NSClient version 0.4.3.136-x63 always returns zero

I am using the following command

./check_nrpe -H IP_HOST -c CheckCounter -a “Counter=\LogicalDisk(C:)\Disk Transfers/sec”

always returns
OK: \LogicalDisk(C:)\Disk Transfers/sec = 0|’\LogicalDisk(C:)\Disk Transfers/secnone’=0;0;0

And using the zabbix agent, I know that these values are fractionated example 1.15 sec

Hi Don…
as far as I understood the attributes:
attrributes has to be applied after -a Switch
attributes has to be seperated by space chars
every attribute must be surrounded by ” chars

so for your example try:

./check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -p 5666 -c CheckCounter -a “Counter=\\Processor Information(_Total)\\% Processor Time” "ShowAll" "MaxWarn=80" "MaxCrit=90"

Hi, I cannot get this working either.
The above command nscp web –install –password foobar does not work.
Would you please give us a little more information on what the exact steps would be to get this to work?
Thanks!

In test mode:
load webserver to load and test the web page

In nsclient.ini (not test mode):

In the modules section:

/modules
WEBServer=enabled

[/settings/default]
; PASSWORD – Password used to authenticate against server
password = foobar

Help needed with check_service (4.3.131)

Hi all,

I need some assistance with check_service syntax – I am trying to setup a single check to monitor multiple services with similar name (all services are set to manual start and alert should be sent whenever they are not running). I have updated nsclient as I have found out that it can do filtering based on name of service but I have not figure it how to do it properly.

At the moment all I have is:
check_service -a "filter=name like 'MY_SERVICE'"
which returns:
OK: All 35 service(s) are ok.
but that’s not ok as some of them are stopped.

Can someone advice what I am missing here, please.

Thank you in advance,
Tomasz

This seems to did the trick:

check_service -a "filter=name like 'MY_SERVICE'"  "critical=state = 'stopped'"
