Hi, I assume you have a host 'mike' and a service 'nmbd' defined on it. Check if you have "accept_passive_service_checks=1" in nagios.cfg and "passive_checks_enabled 1" in the service definition. If you open the Service State Information page in the web interface it should also say that passive checks are enabled. Hope this helps. Regards, Jedrzej
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Carpenter Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 6:20 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue I have a question about nsca and service checks. I am running nsca 2.6 and Nagios 2.5. I have just trying to send a simple test service check to Nagios to see if I can get the state to change.and it isn't working. Here is what I am trying to do. >From the remote machine: /usr/bin/send_nsca -H ian -d ";" -c /etc/send_nagios.cfg < test The file test contains: mike;nmbd;2;'ok-just one test' I have configured nsca on the Nagios server and the config file contains: server_port=5667 server_address=192.168.1.10 nsca_user=nagios nsca_group=nagios debug=0 command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd alternate_dump_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump aggregate_writes=0 append_to_file=0 max_packet_age=30 password=password decryption_method=10 The send_nagios.cfg contains: password=password encryption_method=10 My service check is: define service{ host_name mike service_description syslog-ng active_checks_enabled 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_freshness 0 is_volatile 1 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 check_period none contact_groups nagios-admins check_command check_dummy!2!Critical notification_options w,c,u notification_period 24x7 notification_interval 120 } The /var/log/messages file shows the following: Nov 21 00:09:00 ian nsca[12202]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'mike', Service Description: 'nmbd', Return Code: '2', Output: ''ok-just one test'' Nov 21 00:09:47 ian nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;mike;nmbd;2;'ok-just one test' It appears that the external command file is getting the check.but the host page just sits there saying that the host hasn't been checked. I have tried several different states and still the same result. I understand that an active check isnt being performed but I would think that because of the above "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT" line that the nagios.cmd file got the message and the page should be updated with a critical message. I read in the docs that the check needs to have the date in front of it .but when I tried that I couldn't get nsca to expand the variable.I have checked permissions, etc. So.where have I messed up? LOL. Any help is greatly appreciated. _____ Sponsored Link Mortgage <https://www2.nextag.com/goto.jsp?product=100000035&url=%2fst.jsp&tm=y&searc h=b_rate150k&s=3968&p=5035&disc=y&vers=722> rates as low as 4.625% - $150,000 loan for $579 a month.
