Distributed monitoring & passive checks

[Hochberg, Keith]

You should see an nsca process on the 'master' or 'central' server.  You
will not see the nsca process on the 'slave' server.  
 
If I were you I would take the following steps:
 
kill all nagios processes on both servers (make sure all nagios process
indeed die). 
Make sure your slave server can telnet to your master server on port
5667 
start up nsca on your master server and then nagios 
startup Nagios on your slave server
tail -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log (or wherever you are logging)
and make sure your master server is recieving the nsca data from the
slave.
 
also check your nsca configs on both hosts to make sure you have same
settings (encryption, port 5667, etc)

	Hi everybody !
	 
	I am testing a distributed configuration as menthioned on manual
(pag.111).
	 
	To be sure to receive info about a service from the ditributed
server i stop nagios on it, but I still have annotation about that
service.
	 
	I followed all the istructions. It is necessary to see nsca
process on the central server and a send_nsca process on the distributed
one? I don't see any one of them.
	 
	I have both systesm on the same network but if i run manually
send_mail -H "ip-address" "cfg.file" i receive this error message:
	Connection refused by host
	Error: Could not connect to host 10.0.0.37 on port 5667
	 
	many thanks
	Marco
