Obsessing over Obsessing...

[Robert S. Galloway]

What version of RedHat are you using? I am currently trying to get a
distributed setup going myself with RedHat 8.0 boxes and am having the same
issue. It appears that Nagios is not attempting to run the ocsp command at
all. 

Also, I noted a discrepancy in the documentation on the ocsp command. In the
distributed server documentation, it says the ocsp command is run after
every service check. However, the nagios.cfg documentation says that it is
only run after event handlers or notifications...

Thanks,

Jason,

I had the same issue on a RedHat server, but no one on the list
was able to help.  I was able to get it to work though, once
I moved the distributed system to another server that I did
not use the high security setting during the OS install.  Did 
you happen to configure your server with any special security 
settings?

I just created a new ocsp_command:

  define command {
        command_name            submit_check_result_jm
        command_line            /usr/bin/touch /tmp/blah
  }

and put this in my nagios.cfg file:

  obsess_over_services=1
  ocsp_command=submit_check_result_jm

I also have:

  obsess_over_service		1

on each of my services on the distributed machine...

Still nothing -- it's pretty clear that Nagios isn't attempting to run the
ocsp_command I've defined.  There are NO errors spewing out to the
log_file, so it mustn't think it's doing anything inappropriate.

If anyone else has any ideas, I'm all ears!

If I'm obsessing over services on the distributed machine, should the
status.log be filled with recent check results?  Or should they only be
sent to the master server?  Or should it be going to both?  Should I be
running state retention on the distributed machine?
