Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I am trying to perform the steps outlined in this pdf, http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ith_XI.pdf.

However, I run into an issue when performing step 2.
"wget: unable to resolve host address 'assests.nagios.com'"

Can anyone explain to me what I am doing wrong? Please be as elaborate as possible in your explanation as I am still quite the novice with nagios and linux. Thanks!

You have an extra 's' in there: it's "assets" not "assests".

Sorry that was a typo when creating the posting. LOL

The issue is still the same. "wget: unable to resolve host address 'assets.nagios.com'"

Are you behind a proxy or firewall that would hinder wget?

Well, I am operating Nagios through a Linux VM which is on my local machine. My local machine (windows box) has no difficulty downloading the file, so I don't necessarily think its a firewall issue. It is interesting to note that no matter if I ping the page from my local machine or the VM it times out.

Any other suggetions maybe?

Are you able to ping and access other external sites? Or does the problem appear specific to assets?

I believe I know what the issue is now; still investigating to be sure though, the VM that I am running Nagios through is not on the network. Therefore, the firewall is preventing access to remote devices/machines and/or websites. I think I will have to discuss with one of our network guys whether or not they can let me put the VM on the network or set me up a test area to work in where I can freely get to the web without any firewall issues. Thanks for the help though.

You bet!
