host check pending in nagios setup

[maxwellmiranda]

i created some services for a host...
all the services are in green and active..however the host check still shows as greyed and in PENDING state...
this is a linux server...
can you tell me how to fix t his....
i checked the configurations and there are no errors or warning

[scottwilkerson]

Do you have a check command specified for the host? If so what is it?
Configure -> CCM -> Host -> Modify

[maxwellmiranda]

i dont have any check command specified ......

the check command is blank for my other servers and they are not in PENDING state...

[lmiltchev]

If it is blank, then it it probably defined in the template. Go to:

Configure -> CCM -> Host -> Modify and check what is the template that you are using (under "Common Settings" tab).

Then go to:

Configure -> CCM -> Templates -> Host Templates -> <your_template> -> Modify, and see what is the check command.

Note: The template used should be the "xiwizard_linuxserver_host", and the command is probably "check_xi_host_ping".

Try running the following command from the command line:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_icmp -H <IP of the host> -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5

and show us the output.

i changed the template to linux server host....

the out put of the command is as shown below....
nagprod:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_icmp -H mxtjmfgdrmhau.bose.com -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5
OK - mxtjmfgdrmhau.bose.com: rta 139.250ms, lost 0%|rta=139.250ms;3000.000;5000.000;0; pl=0%;80;100;;


still the host check is in PENDING STATE

[lmiltchev]

Go to the Core Config Manager->Hosts->find the mxtjmfgdrmhau.bose.com host, click on the "Download" action button (diskette icon), save and post the config file.

Can you verify that linux-server is specified under Additional templates.

Make sure once you select it you click "Insert"

Then Save
Apply Configuration

[maxwellmiranda]

i selected the linux host template and applied the configuration....

the host looks green now...
thank you
