check_nt and MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS

[Aaron Segura]

I think you're supposed to use "$$" in that case...

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_nt and MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS

Anyone else managed to get nagios to check the state of the
"MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS" service?

Obviously the $ in the middle of it doesnt help, but ive tried
escaping it, and in quotes etc and nagios always appears to tag
another $ onto the end when it gets run hence im getting back

MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS$: Unknown

Ive got the following defined

define command{
        command_name    check_nt_services
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v
SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$
        }

define service{
        use                             active-service
        host_name                       lds_buildxp
        service_description             SQL Server 2005 Process
        contact_groups                  winadmins
        check_command
check_nt_services!MSSQL\$SQLEXPRESS
        }

Ive even tried

define command{
        command_name    check_nt_sqlexpress
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v
SERVICESTATE -l MSSQL\$EXPRESS
        }

with various methods of quoting, escaping etc and still get the same
error!

Any ideas?

Cheers

Ben
