You have to use double \ after that \MSExchangeIS Mailbox($ARG1$)\Client Logons

With one it works only if you use the console if you use nagios or icinga you should use double \

example:
check_nt_counter!1!0!”\MSExchangeIS Mailbox(First Storage Group-MBX01)\Client Logons”,”%.f Client Logons”

Hi again
I have done some re-arangements of arguments of a command line according the “status information” returned by nagios:

# ‘check_exchange_storage_group’ command definition
define command{
command_name check_exchange_storage_group
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -p 6011 -w 1 -c 0 -l “\MSExchangeIS Mailbox($ARG1$)Client Logons”, “$ARG1$ Logons: %.f” -d SHOWALL
}

Now I get CRITICAL status with status information: Connection refused.

Can you help please?
Irina

@Orv Curry
$USER19$ should be set to the port number of the pnsclient running on the windows box. Replace $USER19$ with 6011 and give that a go.

Cheers,

Jon

When implementing this, I get an error in Nagios “Server Port must be an integer”. Any idea what that means? Thx

@lutieri When a Storage Group is Mounted there is anyway at least one connection, so even if there are no users connected there is one active connection. However when your Exchange server performs maintenance tasks that may disconnect your Storage Group, my recommended workaround for this situation is to use Nagios with Time Periods to stop Nagios checking the Storage Groups during the Exchange Maintenance Window. Hope That Helps.

It does work but not sucessfully. What happen at night, for instance, when no users are logged in?!

any ideas? workarounds?
