Nagios Core 4.3.4   running on Ubuntu 17.4
Nsclient 4.3
Windows 2012 R2
SQL 2012 and 2014

I have a Nagios plugin check_sqldbsize.vbs that checks the size of my sql databases.

On my SQL 2012 server I have one instance and the check works fine from the server and from Nagios.

On my SQL 2014 server I have three (3) instances I have 1 of the three working the other two give me this error CINT



/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windowsservers# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -t 50 -H 'SERV014-N1' -c check_sqldbsize -a 'SERV014-N1-SQLC\ORF 8000 5000'
C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\check_sqldbsize.vbs(25, 15)


/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windowsservers# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -t 50 -H 'SERV014-N1' -c check_sqldbsize -a 'SERV014-N1-SQLS\WSS_Content 8000 5000'

C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\check_sqldbsize.vbs(25, 15) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Type mismatch: 'cint'


from the server I ran the command against both instances and it works fine.

C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts>cscript check_sqldbsize.vbs SERV014-N1-SQLC ORF 6000 9000
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

OK: ORF database size is 3 MB.

C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts>cscript check_sqldbsize.vbs SERV014-N1-SQLS WSS_Content 6000 9000
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

OK: WSS_CONTENT database size is 45 MB.


The error only happens when I run this o my Nagios server
Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Type mismatch: 'cint'

Any ideas on the CINT error?

What are the parameters "8000 5000"?  The failed one uses that and the working one uses "6000 9000"?

Is it possible the nagios execution is running a different script from a different folder?

Can you post the script?

I already tried changing the values.

/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windowsservers# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -t 50 -H 'SERV014-N1' -c  check_sqldbsize -a "SERV014-N1-SQLC\ORF 6000 9000"

Here is the script.

The SA account and password are the same for each instance.

Same vbs script is called for each of the checks.

Missed the subtle difference between the calls.  The code helped!

The script expects 4 arguments.

If you look when you call it manually, you have 4 parameters with spaces.

When you called it from a script it looks like you have three:
 'SERV014-N1-SQLS\WSS_Content 8000 5000'

There is a '\' between the server and dbname

Yes that fixed it
I was using the same syntax that I see when connect to my sql server manage console.

Thank you for all the help
