No luck Mr Andreas. I removed the agent and reinstalled it on a fresh Windows Server 2016 VM. I have went through every iteration of the yaml and plugins don’t seem to be working. The MRPE appears to work which is what I need for my environment. Unless something is wrong with my YAML, I have to come to the conclusion that there is a possible bug in the latest version of Check_MK 1.6.0p17.
In addition - I also tested against another client on a windows server 2008 r2 VM and no luck with plugins working.
Unless someone else can show evidence the plugins actually work in version 1.6.0p17 - i’ll submit for a possible bug to be addressed.
Thanks
Steve
