NRDP and Nagios and SCOM

Post by hents1230 »

Hello!

I've installed Nagios 3.5.1 and NRDP on Ubuntu Server.
How can I test if NRDP is working properly? Whenever I enter command(DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;localhost), I get response "BAD COMMAND FILE".

Has anyone ever integrated SCOM to Nagios? What is the easiest way to do it and where can i find some documentation about it?

Thanks!

Does the command file exist?

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

Yes it does exist, but its empty. My path is :

Code: Select all

/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd

Indeed it should be empty as it is a pipe.
Can you issue commands from the nagios UI?
What is the output of:

Code: Select all

grep cmd /usr/local/nrdp/server/config.inc.php

Hey,

About Nagios and SCOM. Why not completely replace SCOM with Nagios XI? Nagios XI is cheaper, faster and better. I've worked 5 years with SCOM 2007R2 and had some really bad experiences with it. The learning curve of Nagios is a litle higher, but worth it in the end imho.

If you want integration and have SCOM 2012, you could have a look at this: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... or/details
For 2007 R2 I don't immediately find documentation, maybe this: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... rk/details

Grtz
