Hello everyone,

I downloaded a NSClient++ for one of my servers and its on the nagios website, but i am getting a "no data was received from host error". Does anyone know how to fix this? thanks in advance

Hi ofadl,

Can you post the services.cfg and commands.cfg for the windows host being monitored?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

thanks

It does not look like you have the "check_nt" command defined in your commands.cfg file, you will need to define the command to use it. I'd recommend going through the following guide on setting this up:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... ndows.html

im getting a duplicate definition error when i tried adding that to the commands file like so

Warning: Duplicate definition found for command 'check_nt' (config file '/etc/na gios3/objects/commands.cfg', starting on line 58)
Error: Could not add object property in file '/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg' on line 60.
Error processing object config files!

Okay, so you must have it, can you share the check_nt definition you have in your commands.cfg?

what i posted earlier was my entire commands file, then i tried adding that definition to it, and i get that duplicate error

Odd, are you sure that it is not reading an additional commands.cfg file? The above was from:
Correct?
