I am trying to set up monitoring of the size of folders on a Windows server from a Linux box through NRPE using NSClient++ (0.4.0.148-win64) . The basic setup is ok and I am for example able to issue the "CheckDriveSize" command which is part of the same "CheckDisk"-module that "CheckFileSize" is part of.

The problem is that when I attempt to execute "CheckFileSize" I get a "BAD_CODE: -1" error in NSClient++. The command I attempting is the following basically straight from the manual (http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/CheckFileSize):

./check_nrpe -H windowsserver -p 5666 -n -c CheckFileSize -a ShowAll MaxWarn=1024M MaxCrit=4096M File:_WIN=c:/WINDOWS/*.*

The log output I get is this:

 trunk\include\nrpe\server\connection.cpp:37   starting data connection
 runk\modules\NRPEServer\handler_impl.cpp:34   Running command:
CheckFileSize
    ..\..\..\trunk\service\NSClient++.cpp:1128 Injecting: checkfilesize...
    ..\..\..\trunk\service\NSClient++.cpp:1152 Result checkfilesize:

CheckFileSize =

What is extra strange is that when I issue a command that is guaranteed to not be present it lists the available commands of which "checkfilesize" is one:

d trunk\include\nrpe\server\connection.cpp:37   starting data connection
d runk\modules\NRPEServer\handler_impl.cpp:34   Running command: wtf

I guess I could write my own script to do the folder size check but I figure there might be something I have incorrectly configured so if anyone has a tip on what to try I would be very grateful.

Thanks, Olof
