Okay, I have Nagios running on a Fedora box. It is currently monitoring a couple Windows servers and connections to over 100 remote hosts.
That works.
Now I am trying to set up NSCA services on a remote Linux box (SUSE OES10) to monitor some of it's services and HDD etc.
I have Nagios and NSCA installed. I can start the NSCA daemon on the remote server.
I can telnet into port 5667.
Immediately after a restart of the daemon, netstat gives me NSCA listening on port 5667.
So far so good.
Now, I try to send it a test command.
I used send-nsca while watching the message log, I get the expected results both in the logs and on the remote host running the command.
The I get NSCA end of connection.
So far so good...
But that where I get a problem.
After I run any command once, the nsca "slave" stops responding and I'd have to restart it in order to have it answer again.
I still have nsca listening on port 5667... it's just non responsive.
What am I missing??
