Illegal Metachars

[Pilly170]

Hi,
Not sure this is the right place to add this.

I have mountpoints so when I try and test this, it works with -dl C but not with my mount points

./check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 5666 -t 60 -c check_ms_win_disk_load -a '-dl "R:\DATA1" -ms 5'
Exception processing request: Request command contained illegal metachars!

Any ideas?

It doesn't work with mountpoints atm. As i'm not using mountpoints myself, I will probably not invest time to implement this feature. Feel free to fork the project, give it a try yourself and make a PR if you succeed.

@Pilly170 I'm not 100 % sure of the format of a performance counter in Windows. Try executing this function to get the ID of the performance counter.

function Get-PerformanceCounterID
{
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] $Name
    )
    if ($script:perfHash -eq $null) {
        Write-Progress -Activity 'Retrieving PerfIDs' -Status 'Working' 
        $key = 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\CurrentLanguage'
        $counters = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $key -Name Counter).Counter
        $script:perfHash = @{}
        $all = $counters.Count 
        for($i = 0; $i -lt $all; $i+=2) {
           Write-Progress -Activity 'Retrieving PerfIDs' -Status 'Working' -PercentComplete ($i*100/$all)
           $script:perfHash.$($counters[$i+1]) = $counters[$i]
        }
    }
    $script:perfHash.$Name
}

If this returns something you would have to be able to somehow get the performance counter local name here:

$LogicalDisk = Get-PerformanceCounterLocalName $DiskStruct.LogicalDiskId
