 Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting up NCSA
 
 Hi
 
 I've got stuck with NCSA and wondered if anyone could help.
 
 On my Windows box I've installed
 1- send_nsca.exe - which is working - sending results over port 5667
to
 my nagios server
 2- NC_Net from Shatter It which is also working - generating disk
usage
 reports and so on.
 
 on my Nagios box I have installed NCSA started the deamon ok. It
appears
 to be listening becuase I am getting entries in the logs like this:
 Feb  6 11:41:51 nagios2 nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
 PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;Vision;freespace;0;C: - total: 5.85 Gb -
 used: 4.54 Gb (78%) - free 1.31 Gb (22%) | 'C:\ Free
 Space'=1.31Gb;0.58;0.29;0.00;5.85
 Feb  6 11:41:51 nagios2 nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
 PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;Vision;freespace;1;C: - total: 5.85 Gb -
 used: 4.54 Gb (78%) - free 1.31 Gb (22%) | 'C:\ Free
 Space'=1.31Gb;2.92;0.58;0.00;5.85
 (Vision is the name of the host being checked)
 
 
 As I understand it, NCSA is copying these results to the nagios
command
 file (command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd)
 
 What I don't understand is how to get Nagios to do anything with these
 results.
 What service check options should I be using to pick these up?
 What alerts am I going to be getting?

Reread the section on Central Server Configuration at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html.

Once you have verified you have host and service definitions for your
distributed checks (i.e. host 'Vision' and service 'freespace') on your
nagios host and enabled passive checks for the services (and/or host if
you are using 2.0), notifications etc are just like a normal active
check.

This helped me becuase I didn't realise I had to make the service
 name the same as the results I was getting back from NC_Net
