Nagios Support Forum

Hey all, please be patient as i am new to nagios core. i just got the initial configuration setup and i am testing it right away by monitoring the localhost which nagios is running on Ubunutu Server 10.04. I have setup my windows servers with the nsclient++ clients and configured it accourding to the guids on sourceforge. How ever all service's that i am checking for have a status of critical with the status information as connection regused. I beilieve i am just missing adding the password or something along those line's but not entirly sure where.

If anybody could give me some things to go ahead and check i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

It could be a missing password somewhere. The password must be specified in two places: in NSClient++'s configuration file and in the service definition for the check command. Without seeing either of these it's hard to tell what the problem is.

It could also be a network issue. Make sure you can get through port is 12489 in any firewalls you might have set up (like Windows Firewall).

Like agriffin said: if your network is good on 12489 (or whatever port you changed this to-we use 1248), and 5666, then look through nsc.ini for password and other access settings.
