lmiltchev-
First off, thanks for the help!
Second, I'm still trying to teach my self nagios and linux so if I'm making a simple mistake thats prob why.
Currently we are using a password for Rsync backups but not for nagios, now that I know about the password I will go about setting that up as well.
Thanks for confirming that I cannot run checks on port 5666, I just wanted to make sure I was being as through as possible.
Telnet test using port 12489 (below under the edit you will see the result for a telnet test via port 5666)
Code: Select all
$ telnet ***.***.***.*** 12489
Trying ***.***.***.***...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
As requested this is the NSC.ini that i am using, i have commented out my server's IP.
Before I made the edit the ini file had the 'allowed_hosts=' was set for my nagios server correctly. We use this same ini file for 10 other servers and none of them are having issues like this server is.
