Nagios and off site Windows monitoring

[Jam1987]

Great! I'll give them a read over.

Thank you.

No Problem.

Right, I have upgraded the Nagio 4.0.8 and I have followed the NSCA install guide but I'm having a problem that I can't figure out. The ./configure script and make all script seem to run fine and after make all is run it says it completed fine:

*** Compile finished ***

If the compile finished without any errors, you should
find client and server binaries in the src/ subdirectory.

Read the README file for more information on installing
the binaries, creating configuration files, and using
the server and client.

But the file that is meant to be copied to /usr/local/nagios/bin does not exist. The NSCA file it says to copy is no where to be found. Has anyone else had this problem?

[Jam1987]

Ok I tried 2.7.2 and it made the files correctly. I will use that instead of 2.9.1.

[tgriep]

What OS and it's version are you trying to compile it on?

[Jam1987]

Ok I managed to get it all working and listening on port 5667 as netstat showed and also the test message went through fine but I had to create the services.cfg file they mention in the tutorial where I added the service and definition like they said but after restarting Nagios I do not get any extra read outs in the services section on the webUI. Is the services.cfg somewhere else or should I have had to create it myself?

[Jam1987]

What OS and it's version are you trying to compile it on?

Sorry I didn't see your message, I'm compiling it on Linux server 3.16.0-45-generic #60~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:23 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

But 2.7.2 works fine by the looks of it.

I added the services.cfg location to the nagios.cfg file and the line appeared in the WebUI as pending, just playing the waiting game now to see if it comes up, may take an hour for the first time as stated in the documentation. Hopefully it works.

[Jam1987]

Another quick update, I ditched the services.cfg as I realised I could have put that information in the template.cfg and the passive check command in the windows.cfg and localhost.cfg so I did and it appears to be the same thing. Back to waiting now.

You can run this to see if the system is receiving data on port 5667.

Code: Select all

tcpdump port 5667

Well that's a bummer, I get no feed back when I run that command. I'm not running iptables or anything. When I run:

Code: Select all

netstat -tunpl

I get the following, doesn't that mean it's running?
