You must specify the host_name with any version of send_nsca that I am aware of as part of the check result data you send back to the nagios server. You just seem to have it hard coded to be a specific host for all results -- $ send_nsca --help Usage: ../bin/send_nsca <host_address> [-p port] [-to to_sec] [-d delim] [-c config_file] <snip> Note: This utility is used to send passive service check results to the NSCA daemon. Servce check data that is to be sent to the NSCA daemon is read from standard input. Service check information is in the following format (tab-delimited unless overriden with -d command line argument, one entry per line): <host_name>[tab]<svc_description>[tab]<return_code>[tab]<plugin_output>[ newline] ^^^ it's this last bit that you need to modify to send the correct host name. Be aware that nagios will reject submissions for hosts/services that it doesn't know about so you almost certainly need to do some config re-writing to make it work. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
