means the script is being executed by an interpreter that doesn't exist.

executing check_nrpe via sudo will not accomplish what you want. You
will need to either modify the nrpe.cfg to execute commands via sudo,

to point the entire var directory to local disk (performance reasons,
and because the nagios command pipe wont work over nfs).

We've been looking at a few different methods.
Using the Director server to execute send_nsca, or send snmptraps to
snmptt which get picked up by nagios.
Or dumping the director agent messages to syslog/ a log and picking up
the messages with check_logfiles.

there is no -H hostaddress option for check_disk it is a local check.

considering that a single defined command can be turned into multiple

Modify nagios-src/cgi/cmd.c to write to a flat file instead of the

It solves the web page spinning, but since nagios never picks up the

I found a neat but ugly work-around. After doing some reading, it

Hi Patrick,
Ive currently got one server doing everything (and more) hosting 600
hosts and ~6000 services. The main server itself won't be doing any
actual execution, it will just be receiving passive alerts. I would
still like to keep one master, but just use multiple slaves that feed
into it.
I use nrpe and snmp to monitor various services on our sun servers.
Each service using either is dependent on the 'nrpe' or 'snmp'
service. If either of these services go down our ops team
investigates. If a box drops to the 'ok' prompt, these services will
not be running.

Hi,
In the nagios performance tuning doc they recommend changing the
check_interval on host checks to 0. Running a host check isn't really
required as the system will automagically run one when required.
