Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I'm using NAGIOS XI with NSCA Server and NSClient++ on the passive host.

I receive the Service information like CPU Load, Memory Usage ecc.
But I don't receive the host_check, so from NAGIOS XI - HOST STATUS the HOST's status result pending.

NSCLIENT.INI of PASSIVE HOST:
host_check = Check_OK "Everything is working fine"
CPU Load = checkCPU warn=80 crit=90 time=5m time=1m time=30s
Memory Usage = checkMem MaxWarn=80% MaxCrit=90% ShowAll=long type=physical type=virtual type=paged type=page
Drive C: Disk Usage = CheckDriveSize MinWarn=10% MinCrit=5% Drive=C: ShowAll
Uptime = CheckUptime MinCrit=12h ShowAll
Print Spooler Service = check_service service=spooler

I've enabled the log debug and on the file messages I can read:

Hi,
I've solved the problem using the script alias:

#########
nsclient.ini
#########
[/settings/external scripts/alias]
check_ok=CheckOK Everything is fine!

[/settings/scheduler/schedules]
host_check=check_ok
#########

Bye
