? on monitoring the distribution servers

[steve f]

I finally got a distributed server up & running in Core 3.x and have a stupid question on monitoring the dist server.  I have the central server currently configured to not do active checks.  On the distributed server, I had all of the localhost.cfg checks running and in the nagios.log on the central server, I see the following :

EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;localhost;Root Partition;0;DISK OK - free space: / 827 MB (86% inode=88%):
[1281213501] PASSIVE SERVICE CHECK: localhost;Root Partition;0;DISK OK - free space: / 827 MB (86% inode=88%):

This is coming as a passive check from the distributed server with the hostname of localhost and as such, it appears that on the central server its using this check result & populating the checks for the central server.

if I wanted to monitor the distributed server, would I not use the localhost.cfg on the distributed server?  SHould I rename everything localhost in localhost.cfg to the name of the distributed server?

Whats the most rational way to monitor the distributed server ?

Thanks,
