Nagios Support Forum

Progress. After reading through the doc some more and finding another example online I found that for my service definitions if I add check_nrpe! as a prefix to check_xxxx it is now pulling the correct values. Now I just need to find the NRPE command for check_procs as that is failing.

Yup, I've done all that and I can run a check_user command manually and pull a value over with NRPE. That mechanism is in place on just a couple remote machines at the moment, I wanted to get one or two working before doing a full site wide deployment. So with that said I edited my nagios.cfg and co...

Ok I made the changes outlined and removed the "local" from the remote host services.cfg. When I attempted to restart the nagios service it failed stating it couldn't find all the check_xxxx commands for each of the defined remote machines. I then went into commands.cfg and added these bel...

I have all my services defined for each host and everything looks like it's supposed to. The problem I'm having is all my metrics are the s...
