NRDP - Passive Host And Service Definitions

Post by charangandra »

Hi,

I've installed Nagios Core and NRDP on my nagios server and NCPA on my remote host for passive checks. I've configured as per the Nagios document, however I am stuck at this step.

NRDP - Passive Host And Service Definitions


https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... s-762.html


However where can I define Host and Service Defnitions? i.e. on Nagios server or remote server? can you please advise me the location or the file name where I can add these details.

Thanks,
Charan

If you use the NCPA GUI to define passive checks then you can pass them into the ncpa.cfg where NCPA is installed.
If this is a Linux server where you have NCPA installed.

It should be /usr/local/ncpa/etc/ncpa.cfg

This documentation says XI, but the same thing applies to Core. Just a bit more hands-on work which is listed in the kb article you posted.
