added host not appearing in web interface

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

We are running Nagios 3.1.2 with the NRPE 2.12 client on our systems. We
recently installed the VirtualBox application
on one of our monitored systems, and have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit as the guest
operating system. We want to monitor
the disk usage, processes, mysql server, and rsyslogd daemon on the virtual
machine, so the NRPE client was installed
and configured to start on system boot. After that was done, the appropriate
changes were made to the various config files
on the Nagios server. The virtual machine and Nagios server were rebooted, in
that order, after the changes were made.

When going through the web interface on the Nagios server, the virtual host does
not appear listed in any of the pages. 
I confirmed the nrpe daemon was operational on the client, and also verified
that port 5666 was open, and the firewall on the
client was deactivated. The nrpe daemon is run via the /etc/rc.local file using
the following command syntax:

/usr/local/nrpe/bin/nrpe -n -c /usr/local/nrpe/etc/nrpe.cfg -d

I checked the Nagios server, and confirmed the virtual host was listed in the
/etc/hosts as well as the nagios configuration 
files. The nslookup command, run on server and client, confirmed the presence of
the virtual host in the DNS database.

What would cause the client not to appear in the Nagios web interface, and how
can I correct it? 

Thanks.
