Hey Guys.
I’m trying to set up a Distributed system and having huge problems with getting the checks through.
On the master server - I’m running the nsca daemon through inet and its starting the daemon correctly as I can se using netstat .
From the secondary machine I can telnet to the NSCA daemon and can also manually send the package succesfully like this:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result atlantis simap UP OK
1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully.
and telnet looks like this:
# telnet nagios.insatech.com 5667
Trying 87.49.142.34...
Connected to nagios.insatech.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

Encryption Routines: AVAILABLE
Usage: -c -c <config_file> [mode]
Options:
<config_file> = Name of config file to use
[mode] = Determines how NSCA should run. Valid modes:
--inetd = Run as a service under inetd or xinetd
--daemon = Run as a standalone multi-process daemon
--single = Run as a standalone single-process daemon (default)
Notes:
This program is designed to accept passive check results from
remote hosts that use the send_nsca utility. Can run as a service
under inetd or xinetd (read the docs for info on this), or as a
standalone daemon.
Connection closed by foreign host.So what can be the problem here. I’ve double checked the send_nsca.cfg and nsca.cfg several times and checked for passwd.
On the masterserver - The host just keep showing depending - but check results looks like it’s only checking active - and for that reason sure the servers are down.
But the configuration on the masterserver for those hosts are:
Hostdefination over the monitoring servers outside
define host{
name generic-passive-host
# check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 60
check_period 24x7
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
obsess_over_host 1
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 1200
register 0
}
And the check for services:
define service{
register 0
name generic-passive-service
service_description Check
check_command check_ssh
max_check_attempts 4
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 960
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r,w
contact_groups admins
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_freshness 1
freshness_threshold 900
}
But in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log or -/rw/nagios.cmd aren’t there any clue for these connections. So what Am I doing wrong here ? Since It’s showing its working and aren’t at all
