Issue with op5
by nagiosuser040, August 31, 2017
Works fine when I run it from the nagos plugin folder and when I test the service in Op5. But when I save it in Op5, the next scheduled service fails:
CRITICAL SMB Sharename: SHARENAME session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

CRITICAL SMB Sharename
by esetman, January 31, 2016
Hello,
If you enter:
./check_smb_share xx.xx.xx.xx -H -u -p ***** *****

so I get the answer:
OK SMB Sharename: Domain = [TEST] OS = [Windows Server 2012 Standard 9200] Server = [Windows Server 2012 Standard 6.2]
It's alright.

If you enter the wrong IP guest, so I get the answer:
OK SMB Sharename: Connection to 172.17.40.155 failed (Error NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT)
It should be CRITICAL think. If Notification to come.



If specify a paramater -s:
./check_smb_share H xx.xx.xx.xx appl -s -u -p ***** *****

so I get the answer:
CRITICAL SMB Sharename: appl Domain = [TEST] OS = [Windows Server 2012 Standard 9200] Server = [Windows Server 2012 Standard 6.2]
Does anyone know why?

If you enter:
smbclient -U username //xx.xx.xx.xx/appl
thus the connection is OK

Critical SMB Sharename
by Koodbook, May 31, 2013
Can someone tell me if you succeed to make it work with *****$ sharename
Ex:
./check_smb_share -H xx.xx.xx.xx -s test$ -u ***** -p *****
I have this message:
CRITICAL SMB Sharename: test$

Thank you for your answer because it would be very usefull for me to make it work on my plateform.
Owner's Reply:

The dollar sign is not really part of the share name. It's there to signal to Windows clients that it is a hidden share.
Smbclient doesn't really pay attention to this so dropping the "$" from the end of share name will fix your problem.

does what it says
by Majed, August 31, 2011
checks as promises except i thought i could check directly from nagios but it turned out to work only through nrpe from the remote samba server.
example:
./check_smb_share -H 10.1.1.11 -s install
where install is the name of the folder.
