Nagios Support Forum

I have 2 servers with 2 service errors:

One is saying (windows server):
NSClient - ERROR: Could not get data for 5 perhaps we don't collect data this far back?

The other is saying (Linux server):
UNKNOWN: iostat not found or is not executable by the nagios user.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,
James

I'm not sure about the Windows one, but for the iostat error you need to install the 'sysstat' package.

Thanks for the help, but where can I get the the 'sysstat' package from?

Sorry I am new to Nagios:

Ah, that's actually not Nagios-specific, but rather a Linux software management concept. Software is stored in central repositories that can be accessed by tools in the operating system, which for the Linux distributions that XI runs on is called "YUM". Using that, the command to install the package would be:

Thanks I will try that.

Let us know how it goes and if you have any further questions.
