| From the plugin page:  "This plugin checks the status of the Nagios process on the 
local machine"

If you want to check a remote machine, I'm guessing you will have to run this 
via ssh, nrpe, or
some such mechanism.|

I’m new to Linux and also to Nagios monitoring, so it may be something that I’m missing.

I setup a second Nagios server so I can monitor my primary Nagios server, basically if the primary Nagios stop monitoring I would like to know via the secondary Nagios.

Issue is that I setup the check_nagios plugin and its giving me the status of the Nagios process of the primary server, but when I shutoff the Nagios process on the primary server (for testing), I am NOT getting any notification from the secondary server that something is wrong with the primary, and its also keeps telling me the process on the primary servers is OK.

Could you please assist ? thank you in advance.

See my host service definition below.

define service {

        use generic-service

        host_name ClearMon02

        service_description Nagios

        check_command check_nagios

        notifications_enabled           1

          }

My command definition is below

define command{

        command_name    check_nagios

command_line $USER1$/check_nagios -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat -e 1 -t 15 -C /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios

        }
