Hi,
I have configured Nagios web interface on a server called ZITA.
I have 2 servers that I want to monitor : wsphotonicsA and wsphotonicsB.
In the web interface, the status of both servers is shown with all green. If I shutdown one of the servers, this is correctly shown.
However, the load of both servers is always shown as zero and Nagios never detects the number of logged in users (it always shows zero, with the exception of 1 user that is sporadically detected). The number of processes is detected correctly.
Serverload has been constantly 50% or more during the past 2 weeks, but Nagios doesn’t detect it.
Extract from nagios.log :

Here is the cfg file that I use to configure the servers :

What could cause the fact that Nagios is not detecting serverload and logged in users? :?
