check_command issue

[Mrutyunjaya Dash]

Hi,

For this NSCA and NRPE to work, do I need to do something on the server
side or client (the machine which will be monitored through nagios)
side? 

Regards,
Dash

Hi
Your are misinterpreting the way your checks work. Those 
check_local_load, check_local_disk, check_local_xxx check are performed 
on the *local* machine only. Thus you are seeing the results for your 
Nagios server, not the host you supposed you were monitoring.
You can use NRPE and NSCA to work around this issue. Have a look at the 
distributed monitoring stuff in the documentation.
