how to send passive checks with send_nsca

[Marco Borsani]

Hi all

 

I am reading many and many information regarding NSCA and send_nsca.

I have configured a server with nsca demon running and a client within
send_nsca.

 

1)

If I use this simple command, everything will go in the right way:

/opt/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H SERVER_NAME -d ';' -c
/opt/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg < /opt/nagios/etc/objects/passive.txt

 

The file “passive.txt” is something like this:

host_cliente;CurrentLoad;0;TEST

 

In the server I have configured a passive_check  that run the “check_dummy”
command.

 

2)

I tried also a script that writes info into Nagios.cmd file like this :

#!/bin/sh

CLOCK=$(date +%s)

HOST=$1

STATUS=$2

OUTPUT=$3

SVC=$4

echo "[$CLOCK] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;$HOST;$SVC;$STATUS;$OUTPUT" >>
/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

 

I see information in the client syslog and nagios.log file , but nothing
arrives to the Nagios server 
 probably because nothing send them to it ! J

 

3)

Moreover, how can I use the output from a REAL command that is running on my
client (check_tcp , check_http, etc.) ?

Perhaps I have to implement something more in the server (specific service,

)  and/or in the client

 

 

Please, any idea ?

regards
