Nagios 3.0 - problem with parents

Hello,

I’ve got strange problem with controlling remote hosts in my network job.
Here is a problem:

gateway
(VPN)------------->INTERNET----------->remote router------------->terminal1 Access_Point1,2,3
(10.0.0.2)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(external IP) >>>>>>> (10.6.0.199), (10.6.0.188),(10.6.0.233)
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<( 89.xx.xx.x:evil:

Nagios is behind router with gateway 10.0.0.2
Above I typed remote hosts (router, terminal1, all Access Point) which I want to monitor.
Here are objectets from hosts.cfg file:

define host {

host_name router_warszawa
alias Router_Ilmet
address 89.xx.xx.xx.xx
parents router_centrala // name of gateway 10.0.0.2
hostgroups routery
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
check_interval 20
check_period 24x7
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r,u,f
notifications_enabled 0
}

define host {

host_name terminal_warszawa
alias Terminal-Ilmet
address 10.6.0.6
parents router_warszawa // name of router with IP 89.xx.xx
hostgroups Serwerownia
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
check_interval 20
check_period 24x7
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r,u,f
notifications_enabled 0
}

define host {

host_name AP2_warszawa
alias AP2-Ilmet
display_name AP2-Ilmet
address 10.6.0.233 // name of Access Point
parents router_warszawa
hostgroups punkty_dostepu
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
check_interval 20
check_period 24x7
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r,u,f
notifications_enabled 0
}

And here is a result:

All of these remote hosts above are stated as DOWN
except of host “router_warszawa” which is UP.

What should I do to make rest of remote hosts visible for Nagios?
Should I make some port forwarding on “echo” or something like that?
Router is Linksys BEFSX41 and version of Nagios is 3.0

Kindly please for help,
Best regards

I also cannot get any data back from my Linksys (WRT54GS) router… the ping is successful, but no data back from host:

@ Obserwator
Can you ping those routers from Nagios box?
If not, then it is a network problem, maybe access to those routers is disabled…

@ catfishlee
Probably you have to enable SNMP access on the router and set the communities and use them in snmp queries.

Yes, the Ping is the ONLY thing that does work!
I’ve used SnmpGet & SnmpWalk… but “No data received from host” is all I ever get.
I’ve talked to LinkSys online Chat 3 times but their not much help, although they try…
There is no place in the GUI to enable or disable Snmp access
I wish I could do this from a command line… but cannot connect to the router.
thanks for looking at this…

Thanks Albin,
I was afraid of that, although now I know and can stop betting my head up against the wall…
