You're misreading the help. "<host_address>" appears in the NSCA commend line, not in the data you pass to NSCA. Note the difference in the names for the parameters; specifically where "<host_address>" is used, and where "<host_name>" is used. "<host_name>" is, as was mentioned earlier, the name of the host to which the check results apply, and *not* the NSCA server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
