Hi Mark, ok it works, resources.cfg was owned by apache...my mistake. BTW can you give security advice about ownership and permissions from /nagios dir to /etc and /cgi dir ? If yes i thank you very much.

Can you help please !! That should work. What's the status information (error) that you're seeing? The $USER3$ line in resource.cfg isn't commented out, is it? Is resource.cfg owned by the user nagios runs as? Did you include it as a resource_file in nagios.cfg? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
