can't get host to display in Host Detail panel

[Assaf Flatto]

  Jonathan , lets take this from the top .

You are trying to test on a remote server the amount of logged in users 
- that is done via nrpe .
To test that is working you need to follow 3 major steps
1) make sure NRPE is installed and running on the remote machine . And 
accepting connections from the main nagios server *
2) make sure you have the nagios plugins installed on the remote machine .*
3) make sure the nrpe commands definitions point to the correct location 
of the plugins .


once you followed the first 2 steps , you can test to see if the nrpe 
works by issuing the following  command on the nagios server

"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <host_ip> -c check_users "

If every thing is working - you should get the OK or any other result 
matching your criteria .

If you get an error - about can not execute the command - log on to the 
remote host and recheck step 3.
