Alright. We need to see the "check-host-alive" check-command configuration and a listing of your libexec folder:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagios/libexec
grep -4 check-host-alive commands.cfg

[volpeadmin]

# ls -la /usr/local/nagios/libexec
total 12
drwxrwxr-x. 3 nagios nagios 4096 Sep 25 09:42 .
drwxr-xr-x. 8 root root 4096 Sep 18 14:46 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 4 nagios nagios 4096 Sep 25 09:42 eventhandlers

# grep -4 check-host-alive commands.cfg
# The check must result in a 100% packet loss or 5 second (5000ms) round trip
# average time to produce a critical error.
# Note: Five ICMP echo packets are sent (determined by the '-p 5' argument)

# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name check-host-alive
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5
}

What distro are you running? It appears as if you do not have the nagios plugins package installed, can you install them and then check your web interface again?:

and of course it worked...well, I could have sworn I installed the plugins, that's why I was ignoring that possibility adamantly. but apparently not- thanks for your help and patience and please excuse my ignorance. thanks again

Are you going to install through the repos or source? (my suggestion is to do a source install of the plugins)
