Kyle, Thanks, but using this resource I wasn't able to get far. I'm sure that I'm making a small mistake. Here is how I have my setup so far:
Nagios Monitoring Server: version 3.0.1 Commands.cfg: define command { command_name check_nrpe_arg command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -p 5777 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t $ARG1$ c $ARG2$ -a $ARG3$ } Services.cfg: define service{ use master-service host rflx01app service_description Log Files check_command check_nrpe_arg!20!check_logfiles!etc/$SERVICEDESC$ } Host Being Monitored: Nrpe.cfg: command[check_logfiles]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles -f etc/check_websphere check_websphere (located in "/usr/local/nagios/etc/" along with the nrpe.cfg) \$seekfilesdir = '/usr/local/nagios/var/tmp'; # where the state information will be saved. \$protocolsdir = '/usr/local/nagios/var/tmp'; # where protocols with found patterns will be stored. \$scriptpath = '/usr/local/nagios/var/tmp'; # where scripts will be searched for. \$MACROS = \{ CL_DISK01 => "/dev/dsk/c0d1", CL_DISK02 => "/dev/dsk/c0d2" \}; [EMAIL PROTECTED] = ( { tag => 'websphere', logfile => '/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/logs/rflxappserver1/SystemOu t.log', rotation => 'SystemOut', criticalpatterns => ['java.lang.OutOfMemoryError', 'hung.*'], options => 'noscript,protocol,nocount', }, ); At my first attempt Nagios displayed an unknown status, but with this latest config that I have above, Nagios now shows "Connection refused by host".
