I believe that the 'Illegal metacharacter' error message is generated
because your command contains a '>' character, which could potentially be
someone trying to use shell redirect to break in to your machine.
You will definitely need to escape or quote the > to prevent the shell
interpreting it.
I don't know if this error is being produced by check_nrpe, by
nsclient++, or by Nagios itself. Certainly on our system, Nagios 1.4 does not
check commands for illegal characters, and check_nrpe 2.5.2 does not either, so
my guess is that nsclient++ is doing it. Make sure you have your parameters
quoted and check nsclient++ for definitions of illegal characters...

Subject: [Nagios-users] nsclient++ and nrpe commands
Hi,
I'm trying to use nsclient++ on Windows Machines. Everything is
working fine, instead of check_nrpe with checkEventLog :-(
If I type:
./check_nrpe -H 172.16.101.13 -p 5666 -c checkeventlog -a
file=System filter=in filter=all truncate=512 MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1
filter-eventType==info filter-generated=>10m
on my shell, I get no output. If I try ./check_nrpe -H
172.16.101.13 -p 5666 -c checkeventlog -a file=System filter=in filter=all
truncate=512 MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter-eventType==info filter-generated=\>10m
I'll get a error :Illegal Meta Character. Any ideas to this?
Who is using nsclient++ with Eventlog Functionallity?
regards
Christian Mies
