Failed to parse arguments for command using old split string method: unknown escape sequence.

peterge1998 commented 4 years ago

Issue and Steps to Reproduce

All checks, using nsclient, give a timeout response in the webinterface from icinga2: Check: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe' '-H' '192.168.101.35' '-u' Response: CHECK_NRPE STATE UNKNOWN: Socket timeout after 10 seconds. See the details from the nsclient.log below. I did not change the config in any way, it was working before, and does so on ca 20 other servers. I reinstalled nsclient and copied the config from one of the working servers, but the log gives the same error.

Expected Behavior

Executing all checks

Actual Behavior

Response: CHECK_NRPE STATE UNKNOWN: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

NSClient++ Version: 0.5.2.39
OS and Version: Windows Server 2012 R2, Platform: x64

This looks wrong: detail-syntax=${filename] ${size} SHould be detail-syntax=${filename} ${size} right or better yet detail-syntax=%(filename) %(size)

I was able to troubleshoot this with the nscp test mode. Needed to change "\" to "/" aswell, its working again with this line in nsclient.ini: alias_nsclientlog = check_files "path=C:/Program Files/NSClient++/nsclient.log" "crit=size > 1G" "top-syntax=${list}" "detail-syntax=${filename} ${size}"
