I am more Linux trained then NT and need a little help with the event log setup. I have the NSCA and the eventlog app installed. I am getting the information from the remote NT box back to nagios server but cant get the eventlog to talk to the nagios server. What should I use for the Primary NSCA Daemon? Do I use the nagios server name or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

First, you need to install the nsca daemon software on your Nagios server (get this from the Nagios website - it is made by Ethan as well). This listens on port tcp/5667, and it is usually a good idea to restrict it to the IP subnet of your servers. The NagEventLog software sends nsca messages to the NSCA daemon, which passes them on to Nagios via the cmd file (so you need to have the command file enebaled in your nagios.cfg as well, which is the default). Your NagEventLog agent will have your Nagios server as the primary NSCA host, using port 5667, unless you have changed things. Once you have done this, you can test the connectivity to the NSCA daemon from the NagEventLog agent using the test button. You can then look in the nagios log file to make sure that the NSCA alert is being received by Nagios (although the test alert will be for a nonexistant host/service and so will be ignored by Nagios) Steve |
