The IIS5 server the application runs on does not allow anonymous or basic authentication access - all users have do have specific ACL's to view the site (a windows challenge/response prompt pops up in IE when first attempting to hit the app). Is it possible to monitor this type of application with nagios? If so, how?

Ic ould probably figure that out on my own... but the problem is that ALL checks are failing on this one host, even though I can do each and every one of them from command line and have them work. I am pretty sure its not in the syntax either, since a good number of these checks are being run on some other machines as well, and are working fine on those machines. (for example the check_disk command, check_sshd command, and some other commands I have been using for general service checks).

My problem is when nagios is sending email notifications it includes the entire hostname in MAIL FROM field (i.e. nagios@hostname.domainname.com <<A HREF="mailto:nagios@hostname.domainname.com">mailto:nagios@hostname.domainname.com</A>> ). There is no problem when I send an email using PINE from nagios user, so my sendmail is configured properly. This is a problem for me because some email servers lookup the MX record of the domain name and refuse email if it does not match. ADMINEMAIL in nagios.cfg is nagios@myrealdomainname.com <<A HREF="mailto:nagios@myrealdomainname.com">mailto:nagios@myrealdomainname.com</A>> , but nagios still puts the hostname in the FROM field. Could anyone tell me where I can configure it?
