nsclient++ configuration, i am lost

[Toto Capuccino]

Hi Shawn,

On the first hand i get errors related to ncsclient itself :

The error on the monitored host is :
Event Source:    NRPE_NT
Description:
NRPE_NT:  Error: Request contained illegal metachars!

The error on NSC.log is 2006-04-22 12:35:59:
error:../../include\Socket.h:443: bind failed: 10048

When i look to netstat i get (i kept the most relevant lines):
  TCP    0.0.0.0:5666           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       6896
 [NRPE_NT.exe]
TCP    0.0.0.0:12489          0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       14168
  [NSClient++.exe]
  TCP    0.0.0.0:1248           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1052
  [pNSClient.exe]

So i have NRPE_NT and nsclient (not ++) installed, is there's a conflict
with nsclient++ ?


On the second hand i get errors related to the check_command:

The error on the monitored host is :
Event Source:    NRPE_NT
Description:
NRPE_NT:  Error: Request contained illegal metachars!

When i try nsclient++ /test, the first error i notice is that it doesnt
handle the space in the path of the files ( Program Files) -->
File=d:\Program
Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\priv1
>
> .stm File=d:\Program
> Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\priv1.edb


I tried both 'Program Files' and "Program Files" but it doesnt work.

From the command line on the nagios server i try like this :
 ../libexec/check_nrpe -H catorsv03 -c check_exchangeDB -a MaxWarn=15G
MaxCrit=16G File=d:\'Program Files'\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\priv1.stm
File=d:\'Program Files'\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\priv1.edb'
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for
error messages.

Here is the NSC.ini file :
