Run a Powershell script that requires a parameter that can have spaces

[riahc3]

Similar to #829 , Im running

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H thehost -t '' -P 5693 -M 'plugins/CheckClusterResourceGroupStatus.ps1' -a "'Cluster Group'"

But I get the following error

UNKNOWN - Resource group \'Cluster/Group\' not found

The worst part of this is

This makes no sense and is ABSURD that this happens with NCPA and Nagios XI (a paid product) in 2023.

Both sides should have logic to deal with this

[nagios@nagiosxi ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H clu -t '' -P 5693 -M 'plugins/chkspace.ps1' -q "args='My Job',args=90,args=95" C:\Program Files (x86)\Nagios\NCPA\plugins\chkspace.ps1 : Cannot process argument because the value of argument "name" is not valid. Change the value of the "name" argument and run the operation again.

• CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [chkspace.ps1], PSArgumentException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : Argument,chkspace.ps1

Yet, in cli and in API it works

I think I had to do all this crap to remove it

$var = $var -replace "'","" $var = $var -replace "`"","" $var = $var -replace "\","" $var = $var -replace "/'"," "

This in Nagios:

-t '' -P 5693 -M 'plugins/Script.ps1' -a '-parameteronename "Value of parameter one" -parametertwoname 85 -parameterthreename 95'

Ugly and crap in 2023

Which version of Nagios XI are you running? I am not encountering this issue.

If I don't get a response here, I will close this issue in a few days. It works fine for me as can be seen above.
