Monitoring remote hosts

[Daniel Tuecks]

Hi Rikard,

is your nsca daemon running (on your nagios host?). You can check the
process list via 'ps aux | grep nsca'. Furthermore you should try to
connect to port 5667 (from localhost and/or your windows server):
telnet localhost 5667. If you get connected you should verify your
network setup (Firewalls? Do you use (x)inetd? If so, is the option
'allow_only' configured?) ...

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly 
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms. Sign up for the Lotus
