Re: [Nagios-users] Cannot add remote-linux server to my setup to be monitored
You've got to tell your service what hosts/hostgroups it has to check.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service
You can do this by adding one of this to the service you would like to
monitor:
hostgroup_name compute-nodes
host_name star01

I see my new group compute-nodes on the web interface but it does
not list the remote machine I tried adding. I'm stumped as to what I
am doing wrong!
To my nagios.cfg I added this line :cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
And made a new /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg like so:
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name compute-nodes
alias compute-nodes
members star01
}
define host{
host_name star01
alias star01
address 11.0.0.1
hostgroups compute-nodes
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 5
check_period24x7
process_perf_data 0
retain_nonstatus_information0
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u,r
}
Shouldn't this be a basic template to get me started up? What else do
I need to do? Any debug suggestions? A ping to 11.0.0.1 is successful.

Just a little side note: I don't think you need to maintain the hostgroup-
host relationship in both the hostgroup and host definitions. Keep the
definition in one of the two to get a cleaner code. Someone please correct
me if I'm wrong. :)

It means you have a service check set up to check how many processes are in the state RSZDT (I believe these are active processes) with a critical threshold. The current number of (active?) processes on the machine is 1,217 which is above your critical threshold you have defined so Nagios is alerting you (good Nagios.)

[Nagios-users] nagios error: Could not stat() command file
When I try to access many of the sub-menu options under nagios (eg. deactivate the service etc.) I get the following error: Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'! The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands. An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing. I looked in the indicated dir and it seems empty. Should there be something in there? Does it point to a fault Nagios install? All my tests seemed OK.
