Setting up NCSA

[Rex Wickham (2020Media.com)]

Hi

I've got stuck with NCSA and wondered if anyone could help.

On my Windows box I've installed
1- send_nsca.exe - which is working - sending results over port 5667 to
my nagios server
2- NC_Net from Shatter It which is also working - generating disk usage
reports and so on.

on my Nagios box I have installed NCSA started the deamon ok. It appears
to be listening becuase I am getting entries in the logs like this:
Feb  6 11:41:51 nagios2 nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;Vision;freespace;0;C: - total: 5.85 Gb -
used: 4.54 Gb (78%) - free 1.31 Gb (22%) | 'C:\ Free
Space'=1.31Gb;0.58;0.29;0.00;5.85
Feb  6 11:41:51 nagios2 nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;Vision;freespace;1;C: - total: 5.85 Gb -
used: 4.54 Gb (78%) - free 1.31 Gb (22%) | 'C:\ Free
Space'=1.31Gb;2.92;0.58;0.00;5.85
(Vision is the name of the host being checked)


As I understand it, NCSA is copying these results to the nagios command
file (command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd)

What I don't understand is how to get Nagios to do anything with these
results.
What service check options should I be using to pick these up?
What alerts am I going to be getting?

I thought at first it was check_nt, but this is an active check and also
wants to check on a particlar port, so surely this can't be right???

I'm actually using NagiosQL for my config, but it just creates standard
looking config files.

Cheers,

Rex Wickham
