Can you show the command Nagios is trying to run (from the CCM -> Service)
also, from the CLI can you show the output of the following commands
Code: Select all
ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp
ip add
You will likely have to specify the interface name with the -i flag, it defaults to eth0 but your interface may have a different name (see in the
ip add command)

You need the interface name of your XI server, not the Windows server.

Is your XI server on the same network segment to be able to receive an offer from the Windows server?
If so, then, this sounds like the DHCP server isn't functioning.
