Nagios XI VM NSCA problems
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2015 4:50 am
We are currently trying to get passive checks working with our NagiosXI downloaded VM appliance. The Nagios box does not seem to be running NSCA, or have it installed.
Trying to connect from a remote machine or localhost we get the same error;
There is no nsca process running on the Nagios box
There is nothing listening the nsca port 5667
This is the xinetd config
We've tried installing nsca, but we get deps errors.
What should our next steps be?

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
