nagios2: failover

[Jeremiah Jester]

Oops, Looks like i had an error in my configuration file.

Next question: Any idea why check_nagios can't find the running process?

$/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.10.10.41 -c check_nagios
NAGIOS CRITICAL: Could not locate a running Nagios process!

Nothing in /var/log/nagios2/nagios.log about this message. I can verify the
nrpe and nagios are working as the following command returns succesfully.

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.10.10.41 -c check_load
OK - load average: 1.00, 1.04, 1.05|load1=1.000;15.000;30.000;0;
load5=1.040;10.000;25.000;0; load15=1.050;5.000;20.000;0;

Thanks,
JJ
