Hi all,<br><br>I am in the process of setting up a custom distributed Nagios configuration via the nsca facility.  The central server is in a remote datacenter, and currently I am using a single satellite server to monitor my local network from the inside.<br>
<br>Everything appears to be fine in that service status is being correctly passed to the central server for all hosts, so I suspect this may be a configuration issue.  However, my issue is that the Host Status for all of the hosts is permanently "pending" on the remote (central)server.  The local server sees all hosts as up.<br>
<br>I am running Nagios v3.2.0.<br><br>Any suggestions would be welcome.  Contents of the nagios.cfg from the central server are below.<br><br>Thanks & regards,<br><br>Alan.<br><br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
