UNKNOWN: Command error: Exchange NRPE plugin check DATABASES

hello, 

Can you run the plugin locally on the exchange server? you should have a “centreon_plugins.exe” somewhere in your nsclient folder (usually “C:\Program Files\centreon-nsclient\NSClient++\scripts\centreon” if you did the setup of nsclient provided by centreon)

(also you may need to update this executable with the latest/current version, it is regurlaly updated with the github repository of the centreon plugins)

normally this command is running like on the linux poller so “centreon_plugins.exe --plugin=$ARG1$ --mode=$ARG2$ …..”

your check should look like “.\centreon_plugins.exe --plugin=apps::microsoft::exchange::local::plugin --mode=databases …...”, 

replace “...” by your check options (look at what your check is running from the poller, beware the centreon plugin is a wrapper for the linux command line, so there should be some quotes you have to remove

the point is : is the plugin.exe running correctly on the server, is it present on the server, can it work without issue (it unpacks a lot of perl file in c:\windows\temp, some antivirus don’t like that)

it should also help to run the check with  --debug and --verbose that return more information on the local windows than trough the check_nrpe on the poller

hope that helps you to identify where the problem lies

So I just ran into it and I have more details on

So I will look into it 

I don’t know if this is because the database is in a DAG
