[Nagiosplug-devel] check_nrpe question

[Gary W. Smith]

I have a nagios server that makes a call to a server running nrpe to
collect data.  The server running nrpe itself uses check_nt to collect
some data from some Wintel boxes behind it's firewall.  

The nrpe server has the following command in place on the remote nrpe
server.

command[check_data_01_services]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H
10.94.64.4 -p 8244 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l
MSExchangeIS,MSExchangeMGMT,MSExchangeMTA,MSExchangeSA,RESvc,MSSQL\$ATAC
ENTER,SMTPSVC,SPTServer,W3SVC,lanmanserver,BackupExecAgentAccelerator,II
SADMIN,Spooler

This command when executed on the nagios box reports all okay.  All
seems good there.

On the nagios server I call the remote nrpe command and I get the
following error.

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H REMOTEHOST -p REMOTEPORT -c
check_data_01_services
 MSExchangeIS: Started - MSExchangeMGMT: Started - MSExchangeMTA:
Started - MSExchangeSA: Started - RESvc: Started - MSSQL$ATACENTER:
Started - SMTPSVC: Started - SPTServer: Started - W3SVC: Started -
lanmanserver: Started - BackupExecAgentAccelerator: Started - IISADMIN:
Started - Spooler$: Unknown

Note the $ after spooler.  Even if I remove spooler from the nrpe config
file it then dies on IISADMIN, etc.  I have 3 other servers that I check
in the same way without any siginificant problem.  


Here is the configuration portion of nagios.

define service {
    service_description              Service State
    use                              generic-service
    host_name                        REMOTEHOSTNAME
    check_command                    check_nrpe!check_data_01_services
}

define service {
    name                             generic-service
    is_volatile                      0

    event_handler_enabled            1
    flap_detection_enabled           1
    low_flap_threshold               0
    high_flap_threshold              0
    process_perf_data                1
    retain_status_information        1
    retain_nonstatus_information     1
    contact_groups                   all-admins
    register                         0
}

Any ideas?
