check_snmp is in nagios-plugins 1.4 ( and probably in earlier versions )
( http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Plugin_Packages.52.0.html?
&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=32) 

Requires the NET-SNMP package, if net-snmp is not on your nagios host
then check_snmp binary is not created when building nagios-plugins
( net-snmp found at http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net )

...if that does not help try check_by_ssh, don't think there are any
requirements for that :)

I think OP's saying that his /etc/services had an entry for NCSA on port
5666, which he changed to NRPE.

Check the directory permissions on /usr/local/nagios and 
/usr/local/nagios/etc. Just because a file is marked readable does not 
mean the user has access to the directory it lives in.

Hello,

We have a device that comes up missing if you refresh
your browser. If you refresh multiple times the
device will come and go.

As anyone inexperienced this or have an idea of what
would fix this problem? We are using 1.2 on Redhat ES
2.

Thanks

Jeff,

Checked that and it shows one running. However, when
we run service nagios stop the process its self is not
actually dying off. We killed that process and
restarted nagios and it is now just fine.

Your reply was extremely helpful.

Thank you very much
Travis

Another update - I ran the check_nagios command that the cgi should be 
running and here is its output:

"Nagios problem: located 3 processes, status log updated 1118352322 
seconds ago"

Does that mean that there should be only one nagios process running?

All,

I need to import the Availability report data into another report format. It
seems the easiest way is to use CSV. Is there a hack or feature to get the
avail.cgi output into CSV format ?

Thanks,
Mike
