with MySQL support<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I've tried the online forums over the past weeks, and have had no
response.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Using Nagios, configured with the xdata option, and a MySQL database
appears to work well from the monitoring views, however...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No external commands can be used. This means I cannot acknowlege an
alarm, schedule downtime, send a passive check or leave a comment - all things
that I need to do in order to run the tool as expected.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When attempting any of these commands via the web page, I get the
response:</DIV>
<DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV class=errorMessage><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>Sorry, but Nagios is
currently not checking for external commands, so your command will not be
committed!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<P><STRONG></STRONG></P>

<DIV class=errorDescription><STRONG>Read the documentation for information
on how to enable external commands...<BR></STRONG></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV class=errorMessage>I've looked through the documentation, but it is not
focused on the MySQL implementation. Can anyone lend a had with getting past
this configuration issue? Is it possible to use external commands via the web
interface? I have set downtime in the database itself, and after the endtime,
it is removed from the database table, so all appears to work well from that
aspect. </DIV>
