I have just configured NSCA on my nagios 2.x server. Nagios accepts the checks when sent from an outside server however it never updates the data for the services or sends out alerts.
I have two generic checks being submitted for testing. Both services show a status of OK but no further data.
The nagios.log file shows:
[1263314147] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;Tom-Server2;checkcpu;0;OK CPU Load ok.|‘20m’=0%;1;2; ‘10s’=0%;1;2; ‘4’=0%;1;2;

Syslog shows:

I’ve verified that the service names match up exactly. I’m not sure where else to look for a problem.
Thanks for any advice.
