Getting very close

[Jonathan Bayles]

Marc,

Thank you for pointing me to the distributed doc and for your explanations. I feel I am very close. Right now if I run:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result Athena 'PING' OK 'qwrweewfkljewfglkjwegjlwejglwjeglkjwegkwleg'

>From the distributed server it outputs correctly in the master server. I understand this to mean that the remote server is correct or close enough, and the NSCA pipe is correct.

 However, even with obsess and oscp_command set properly in the nagios.conf file on the distributed server the checks don't seem to be motivated to travel across. Do I need to setup a differen't service class with specific options to motivate the data across the NSCA pipe? What is the process flow of obsess?

We really don't have enough information to do anything but guess. An  
educated one would be that there doesn't appear to be a daemon listing  
on port 80 on <hostname or IP>. My speculation is either that the  
command definitions are different between the two versions (or your  
test) or the -H parameter is different between them (i.e. define host 
{ address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx } is different or the macro you're using in  
the command definitions is different.) You could also have a firewall  
preventing that connection but you don't mention it being present.

At the very least you're trying to connect via SSL (-S) to port 80  
(HTTP), which is extremely unusual. Is that a special server  
configuration you've created?

As you can see, at the minimum posting real, complete definitions are  
necessary to tell you what's going on. Grab them from objects.cache  
and also working/non-working log entries from nagios.log.
