Monitoring remote hosts

[Assaf Flatto]

 From first glance you may have several factors that may contribute to 
the issue you are having :

1) you may not have the nsca deamon running on the nagios server , to 
receive the sent data from the submitting server - to solve that look at 
the documentation of nsca and see about setting up the receiving end.

2) you may have the local linux firewall block the nsca port ( as it is 
a non standard port , you will need to open the access for it 
specifically) , remember it is using UDP and not TCP when opening the 
firewall.

3) do you have any extra security on the nagios server in the for of a 
third party security software ?

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly 
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
