[Nagiosplug-help] Nagios check

[Misao]

The reason for this is because you are asking Nagios to monitor services,
not processes.

Many services use the same process name as the service name they use, which
is why it worked so far.

If you want to monitor the process names, you use the -v PROCSTATE option
instead of -v SERVICESTATE

That worked! Thank you much. 

I always used the task manager for checking the name of the process. I guess
I've been lucky.

go to the windows machine.

 

Look under Administrative Tools | services.

 

Right click on rtvscan service, and choose properties.  

 

There is a short name given near that top. That's what you need to give as
your argument. A lot of times these short names are acronyms or some such.

 

Check the mcshield one too for verification of this.

 

Good luck.

I am trying to figure out why the check_nt command will not check
rtvscan.exe exactly like the mcshield.exe process.

 

I use the check_nt command as follows:

 

/opt/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H myhostname -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -d
SHOWALL -l mcshield

mcshield: Started

 

This command above works perfectly fine. But the command below to check
rtvscan.exe will not work

 

/opt/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H myhostname -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -d
SHOWALL -l rtvscan

rtvscan: Unknown 

 

I do not have mcshield and rtvscan on the same machines.

I know that the process rtyvscan.exe is running on the machine because I see
it run in the task manager.

I am using the nsclient on the host and version 1.4.2 of the check_nt plugin
on the server.

 

Any idea why I can't check rtvscan process on the machine?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Ed
