For this initial test I have it monitoring 40 devices. Everything seems to be functioning properly with the following exceptions. For each monitoring option I see, under the Current Status bubble upper left corner, that the "Monitoring process my not be running!" I click the "Click here for more info." Process info bubble looks good, it gives me the correct Start Time, Total Running Time, PID, etc.. But Process Commands says "It appears as though Nagios is not running, so commands are temporarily unavailable..." and Process Status Information says: Process Status - Critical, Check Command Output:  Error: Cannot open status log for reading!"

Check the list archives.  Someone just posted a new version of the check 
script for this very issue a week or two ago.
