I've had to implement a distributed systemand I have gone through some docs I found on sourceforge. I'll briefly mention what I have done: slave nagios 1. Installed the nsca pack 2. put send_nsca.cfg -> /etc 3. modified entry for ocsp_sommand in nagios,cfg 4. enabled obesess over services 5. enable_notifications set to 0 6. Defined a command called submit_check_result in my minimal.cfg 7. Written submit_check_result script and placed it in ../libexec server side: 1. Installed nsca pack 2. nsca,cfg -> /usr/local/nagios/etc 3. active service checks 1 for services checked from main nagios set to 0 for service checked from slave nagios 4. externetl commands checks enabled 5. passive service checks enabled 6. nsca -> /usr/local/nagios/bin 7. check existance of /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd 8. wrote nsca script in /etc/xinetd.d 9. added entry in /etc/services called NSCA 10. restarted xinetd Problem. When I send info from slave to main nagios by hand, it is sent and reported by the main nagios, correctly. When I remove /usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result, I get an error indicating that the slave nagios is trying to execute a non-existing script. When I re-instate the submit_check_result script, nothing happens. No error in any log. I do not see any attempt on the network ( tcpdump) that the slave is trying to contact the main nagios. I have also added a little echo statement in the submit_check_result script that writes to a file. This way I can see that the script was executed. This does not happen which means the submit_check_result script is not executed. Can someone help , please ?? John </BODY> </HTML>
