Nagios XI - Problems with $ Signs in the Check Command
Problem Description
Certain services in Microsoft Windows use special characters in the service name like MSSQLFDLauncher$UWCX01. This causes problems with Nagios as it thinks the $ is part of a variable.
Resolving The Problem
Using NCPA
Your service definition will need two $$ signs.
MSSQLFDLauncher$$UWCX01
Save and Apply Configuration.
Note: The Test Check Command button will not work due to these special characters.
Using NSClient++
Your service definition will need a backslash \ and two $$ signs.
MSSQLFDLauncher\\$$UWCX01
Save and Apply Configuration.
Note: The Test Check Command button will not work due to these special characters.
