wmi check via Nagios help please

The command I am using is

./check_nrpe -H xx.x.x.xx -p xxxx -c CheckWMI -a "Query=select Frequency_PerfTime from Win32_PerfRawData_CustomPerformanceTiersCalculator_CustomPerformanceTiersCalculator" "columnSyntax=%Frequency_PerfTime%"

And the output is 2660000000|'wmi query'=1

How do I make it so the output is only 2660000000. There is other commands I also want to run and do not want |'wmi query'=1 to be a part of the output.

Any suggestions?

Is checkWMI a shell, perl or compiled?

compiled, i believe, it's part of the check_nt command

Jan Bacher

If it's compiled, you might be able to find the source and modify it or put that check command in a wrapper that's a non-compiled script to manipulate the response.

Modifying the source is not possible as that will most likely break a lot of checks.

Doing the following I sorta get what I want but it is still not enough

./check_nrpe -H xx.x.x.xx -p xxxx -c CheckWMI -a "Query=select Frequency_PerfTime from Win32_PerfRawData_CustomPerformanceTiersCalculator_CustomPerformanceTiersCalculator" "columnSyntax=%Frequency_PerfTime%" | tail --lines=1 | awk '{print $1}'

and the output is 2660000000|'wmi
