Pardon me if I'm wrong here, but it looks like you have a service defined for syslog-ng, yet the status that you're sending thru nsca is for _nmbd_. nmbd != syslog-ng, therefore no change to nagios display.

I am running nsca 2.6 and Nagios 2.5. I have just trying to send a simple test service check to Nagios to see if I can get the state to change…and it isn’t working… > > Here is what I am trying to do… > > From the remote machine: > /usr/bin/send_nsca –H ian -d “;” –c /etc/send_nagios.cfg < test > > The file test contains: > mike;nmbd;2;’ok-just one test’ > > I have configured nsca on the Nagios server and the config file contains: > > server_port=5667 > server_address=192.168.1.10 > nsca_user=nagios > nsca_group=nagios > debug=0 > command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd > alternate_dump_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump > aggregate_writes=0 > append_to_file=0 > max_packet_age=30 > password=password > decryption_method=10 > > The send_nagios.cfg contains: > password=password > encryption_method=10 > > My service check is: > > define service{ > host_name mike > service_description syslog-ng > active_checks_enabled 0 > passive_checks_enabled 1 > check_freshness 0 > is_volatile 1 > max_check_attempts 1 > normal_check_interval 1 > retry_check_interval 1 > check_period none > contact_groups nagios-admins > check_command check_dummy!2!Critical > notification_options w,c,u > notification_period 24x7 > notification_interval 120 > } > > The /var/log/messages file shows the following: > > Nov 21 00:09:00 ian nsca[12202]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'mike', Service Description: 'nmbd', Return Code: '2', Output: ''ok-just one test'' > > Nov 21 00:09:47 ian nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;mike;nmbd;2;'ok-just one test' > > It appears that the external command file is getting the check…but the host page just sits there saying that the host hasn’t been checked. I have tried several different states and still the same result. I understand that an active check isnt being performed but I would think that because of the above "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT" line that the nagios.cmd file got the message and the page should be updated with a critical message. > > I read in the docs that the check needs to have the date in front of it …but when I tried that I couldn’t get nsca to expand the variable…I have checked permissions, etc. > > So…where have I messed up?
