Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I've been trying to get nagios to monitor my windows 2008 dhcp service with so success. Both servers are on the same network and there are no firewall issue between them. I even setup a new nic on the vm and had it dhcp it's address with success. Every time I try to setup the dhcp monitoring service, I get "No DHCPOFFERs were received".

I've searched the forums and tried everything I could think of. Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advanced.

Mike

Can you show the full Run Check Command output for this service?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what "full Run Check Command output" means. If there is a specific command you would like me to run, let me know. The most I get out of the notifications and manually running the command on the server is "No DHCPOFFERs were received".

Are you using the DHCP Wizard to set things up? If not, what plugin are you using? Please give us a link to the plugin on exchange.na0gios.com or otherwise, not just the name.

To see specifically the Run Check Command, you'll need to go to the service in the CCM (Core Config Manager) under Configure, and then go to the service.

I just used the wizard to add the service and linked it to the dhcp(domain) controller. The command is "check_dhcp" and the command is "$USER1$/check_dhcp $ARG1$".

Can you run the following commands from the command line on the Nagios XI server, and show the output?
Note: if your interface's name is not "eth0" you will need to pass it in your command: Example:

[root@NAGIOS ~]# iptables -nL | grep '161\|162'
[root@NAGIOS ~]# nmap -sU 10.1.1.100 -p 161-162

I asked you to run a command with wrong ports - my bad. I am sorry about it! Can you run the correct command and show the output?
Do you get even more verbose output if you use more than one "v"?
What is the plugin's version?
Are your Nagios XI and the DHCP server on the same subnet?

One thing to try is if you left both Ethernet interfaces enabled on the XI server, you would probably have to specify the the interface by using the -i option in your command.
Another thing to try is to specify the DHCP servers IP address in the command so the plugin checks the correct server. Try running the following example and see if that works for you. Change the eth0 in the above to the correct name of the ethernet adaptor on your system.
You can run the following command to get the names of them.
