localhost and switch status Down

[slansing]

What is the exact error you are receiving from that host in the web interface? Is it something along the lines of 100% packet loss? OR, is it something else? Please copy it here, and also a copy of your localhost.cfg, is it only your localhost and switch that are showing down? Are these your only hosts? If not, let us know, this could be a problem with the plugin or some odd configuration change / blockage that is just coming to light.

looks like its missing a plugin...screen shot attached..

[volpeadmin]

it is not the only host but it is separate from the other, primary Nagios host... this will eventually replace it but it runs solely on its own hardware (stand alone)

[abrist]

Can we see the config for this host?

[volpeadmin]

localhost.cfg ...also attached (filename extension changed to avoid upload error)

[slansing]

We need one more config file, since your localhost is under the linux-server template. Can you share that template with us as well?

[volpeadmin]

what is the filename?

[volpeadmin]

templates.cfg?

[slansing]

You should be able to find the linux-server template section in templates.cfg, we only need it's definition not the entire file.
