Nagios Support Forum

Ok, I've got a strange problem here! Let's hope someone can solve it

My nagios server is currently monitoring these Domain/Exchange 2003 Servers:

My Support Company Office

192.168.10.100 PDC/Exchange 2003 Backend
192.168.10.101 Exchange 2003 Frontend
192.168.10.113 Exchange 2003 Backend
192.168.10.108 Nagios Server

Customer Company 1

192.168.80.100 PDC/Exchange 2003 Backend
192.168.80.101 PDC/Exchange 2003 Front End

Customer Company 2

192.168.25.120 PDC/Exchange 2003 Frontend & Backend

They are connected to my support office using IPSec links so I can monitor their network.

Now here's the problem......

Nagios monitors my servers W3SVC service just fine that are on the 192.168.10.XXX subnet. But when I add my customers servers to the W3SVC monitoring config they just don't show up when I take a look at the Nagios web page.

All other services that Nagios is checking like Diskspace etc... work fine.

I have the NSClient++ installed on all the servers and it's running fine.

My config looks like this:

# Create a service for monitoring the W3SVC service
# Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above

define service{
use generic-service
host_name csdc001.corporatesite.local,csfe001.corporatesite.local,ibdc001.ib.corporatesite.local,ibtfsdc001.ibtfs.headoffice.local,csukdc001.cardiosolutions.local,ibtdc001sl.headoffice.local,ibtfs001sl.headoffice.local
service_description W3SVC
check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l W3SVC
}

Only these servers which are on the different subnets are not working:

csukdc001.cardiosolutions.local
ibtdc001sl.headoffice.local
ibtfs001sl.headoffice.local

I thought it might be a firewall issue but if the other services like Diskcheck etc.. are responding fine then it kind of makes me think not?

Thanks!

Are any other servicestate checks working on those hosts? Any clues in your nagios.log?

how do i check the service states?

Don't worry. I had a ; instead of a , separating the host name in the windows.cfg service line. DOH!
