[Jam1987]

Here is the nagios.cfg

Your /etc/xinetd.d/nsca file is incorrect, You need to edit it and change it to the example below. restart xinetd and see if that fixes it for you.

Code: Select all

service nsca
    {
            flags           = REUSE
            socket_type     = stream       
            wait            = no
            user            = nagios
            group           = nagios
            server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca
            server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg --inetd
            log_on_failure  += USERID
            disable         = no
    }

Hi Tgreip, I have added that in thanks and just rebooted xine and nagios. Still getting the following when I run

Code: Select all

nsca-2.7.2/src/send_nsca 192.168.1.246 -c nsca-2.7.2/sample-config/send_nsca.cfg < test

from my Ubuntu Desktop

I have attached everything I can think of for eases sake.

Code: Select all

Error: Server closed connection before init packet was received
Error: Could not read init packet from server

Quick look of the configs and they look good.

Run the command below to see if there are any nsca errors.

Code: Select all

tail -100 /var/log/syslog

It's a new error! I'll check it out.

[Jam1987]

mcrypt library! So if I turn of security it should solve it? I'll give it a try.

[Jam1987]

It freaking works!!! This is amazing

I am glad it works! I am going to mark this as resolved and if you have any other issues, you can open a new post.
