Nagios using the Nagios 3.0 documentation. After some experimentation I
found that there are a number of places where that documentation is incorrect or
leaves something important out. Consult the documentation on the
NSClient++ site for accurate info on setting up NSClient++.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

uncommenting it at the top of the nsc.ini file) it will listen on port

class=661253501-16062007>I found that the command for enable the system tray was
wrong in the Nagios 3.0 documentation as well. At least it was wrong for
the 2.7 version of NSClient++. I can't remember exactly what the string
was to install it, but it's different from what the Nagios 3.0 docs say. I
found that when I tried to install the system tray, it gave me odd errors.
I really didn't need the system tray so I don't install it anymore. I
think when you install the NSClient++ service and change the service to allow
interaction with the desktop, you find that when checks are run you get brief
command windows popping up then disappearing on your desktop which can be rather
annoying.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
