nsca/services issue

[Jedrzej Jajor]

Hi,
 
I assume you have a host 'mike' and a service 'nmbd' defined on it. Check if
you have "accept_passive_service_checks=1" in nagios.cfg and
"passive_checks_enabled 1" in the service definition. If you open the
Service State Information page in the web interface it should also say that
passive checks are enabled.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Regards,
Jedrzej

Subject: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue


I have a question about nsca and service checks.  I am running nsca 2.6 and
Nagios 2.5.  I have just trying to send a simple test service check to
Nagios to see if I can get the state to change.and it isn't working.
 
Here is what I am trying to do.
 
>From the remote machine:
/usr/bin/send_nsca -H ian -d ";" -c /etc/send_nagios.cfg < test
 
The file test contains:
mike;nmbd;2;'ok-just one test'
 
I have configured nsca on the Nagios server and the config file contains:
 
server_port=5667
server_address=192.168.1.10
nsca_user=nagios
nsca_group=nagios
debug=0
command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
alternate_dump_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump
aggregate_writes=0
append_to_file=0
max_packet_age=30
password=password
decryption_method=10
 
The send_nagios.cfg contains:
password=password
encryption_method=10
 
My service check is:
 
define service{
        host_name               mike
        service_description     syslog-ng
        active_checks_enabled   0
        passive_checks_enabled  1
        check_freshness         0
        is_volatile             1
        max_check_attempts      1
        normal_check_interval   1
        retry_check_interval    1
        check_period            none
        contact_groups          nagios-admins
        check_command           check_dummy!2!Critical
        notification_options    w,c,u
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_interval   120
        }
 
The /var/log/messages file shows the following:
 
Nov 21 00:09:00 ian nsca[12202]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'mike', Service
Description: 'nmbd', Return Code: '2', Output: ''ok-just one test''
 
Nov 21 00:09:47 ian nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;mike;nmbd;2;'ok-just one test'
 
It appears that the external command file is getting the check.but the host
page just sits there saying that the host hasn't been checked.  I have tried
several different states and still the same result.  I understand that an
active check isnt being performed but I would think that because of the
above "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT" line that the nagios.cmd file got the
message and the page should be updated with a critical message.
 
I read in the docs that the check needs to have the date in front of it .but
when I tried that I couldn't get nsca to expand the variable.I have checked
permissions, etc.
 
So.where have I messed up?  LOL.
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
