NSClient++ Help (#1) - EventLogCheck? - mental disconnect (#541) - Message List

Sorry but I am just hitting a brick wall trying to get this setup.

In the nsc.ini I have

alias_event_log=CheckEventLog file=application file=system filter=new filter=out MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter-generated=<2d filter-severity==success filter-severity==informational truncate=1023 unique descriptions "syntax=%severity% : %source%: %message% (%count%)"

If I run that using "nsclient++ /test" I get a result set that ends with eventlog: 7 > critical|'eventlog'=7;1;1;

So, on the command line of my nagios server I run:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H IP -t 10 -n -p 5666 -c CheckEventLog -a file=application file=system filter=new filter=out MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter-generated=\<2d filter-severity==success filter-severity==informational truncate=1023 unique descriptions "syntax=%severity%: %source%: %message% (%count%)"

And get: error: TermDD: The RDP protocol component X.224 detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client. (4), warning: EventLog?: The system uptime is 877811 seconds. (3), eventlog: 7 > critical|'eventlog'=7;1;1;

Cool beans.

Now I make the service definition

define service{

use generic-service host_name SomeHostSomeWhere? service_description EventLogChecker? check_command check_nrpeCheckEventLog!file=application file=system filter=new filter=out MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter-generated=\<2d filter-severity==success filter-\

severity==informational truncate=1023 unique descriptions "syntax=%severity%: %source%: %message% (%count%)" "file=application file=system filter=in MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter+generated=\<2d truncate=900 unique descriptions""

}

After restarting Nagios all I get is a socket timeout on the webpage and the nsclient.log shows: Could not read a full NRPE packet from socket, only got: 69

If someone could point out where I'm screwing it up that would be appreciated.
