Nagios with MySQL support

[Grant Adamson / Van CI]

Whether or not you are using MySQL should have no relevance on the external
commands, AFAIK.

Have you checked to make sure the permissions are correct for the external
command file?

  Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios with MySQL support


  I've tried the online forums over the past weeks, and have had no
response.

  Using Nagios, configured with the xdata option, and a MySQL database
appears to work well from the monitoring views, however...

  No external commands can be used. This means I cannot acknowlege an alarm,
schedule downtime, send a passive check or leave a comment - all things that
I need to do in order to run the tool as expected.

  When attempting any of these commands via the web page, I get the
response:
    Sorry, but Nagios is currently not checking for external commands, so
your command will not be committed!


    Read the documentation for information on how to enable external
commands...

  I've looked through the documentation, but it is not focused on the MySQL
implementation. Can anyone lend a had with getting past this configuration
issue? Is it possible to use external commands via the web interface? I have
set downtime in the database itself, and after the endtime, it is removed
from the database table, so all appears to work well from that aspect.
