Attempting to monitor the "Nagios Server" itself

[Bret Goodfellow]

Hello there,

 

I have Nagios running on a RHEL 4 (update 6) server.  It is monitoring
30 linux servers and 10 unix servers.  I am now attempting to get Nagios
to monitor the host server (the server that the nagios daemon is running
on).  When I add services for the nagios server (Colorado), the nagios
service fails after about 15 seconds.  I am getting the following
messages in /var/log/messages:

 

Aug 12 13:18:09 colorado nagios: Nagios 2.10 starting... (PID=23650)

Aug 12 13:25:58 colorado nagios: LOG VERSION: 2.0

Aug 12 13:25:58 colorado nagios: Finished daemonizing... (new PID=23651)

Aug 12 13:26:10 colorado nagios: Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down...

 

Why can't I get nagios to monitor itself?  In other words, why can't I
get nagios to monitor the server that it is running from?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bret Goodfellow
