Question On Installing jsendnsca

[steve f]

Hello,

I am trying to install jsendnsca to use in my Nagios environment and having some issues I was hoping you could help me with.

Does the server I am trying to send the java api code from have to have Nagios running on it?  Or am I just sending the results to a nagios server and the nagios server just things its getting a passive check as any other check it gets from remote servers?  I have nothing configured on this server as far a nagios is concerned.

On my central nagios server, I assume I need to create a host entry for this java api server in the hosts.cfg file.  Not sure how the nagios central server is to process the results.  You show in your documentation , a service using check_dummy.  How is the check_dummy check processing the results from the passive check?

My nagios environment is a distributed environment and I am only running passive checks from my clients via nsca.  After reviewing jsendnsca, it looks like it will do exactly what I want to do using our existing java api apps and send the results into nagios.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi Steve

Does the server I am trying to send the java api code from have to have Nagios running on it? 

No.

Or am I just sending the results to a nagios server and the nagios server just things its getting a passive check as any other check it gets from remote servers?

Yes

I have nothing configured on this server as far a nagios is concerned. 

You need to configure Nagios for the passive check you are sending from your java app. 

On my central nagios server, I assume I need to create a host entry for this java api server in the hosts.cfg file.  Not sure how the nagios central server is to process the results.  You show in your documentation , a service using check_dummy.  How is the check_dummy check processing the results from the passive check?

Best to check the following

See Configuring Nagios section

My nagios environment is a distributed environment and I am only running passive checks from my clients via nsca.  After reviewing jsendnsca, it looks like it will do exactly what I want to do using our existing java api apps and send the results into nagios.

Yep, its how I run it and works well

Hello Raj,

Thanks very much for the info on jsendnsca.

I managed to get it up & running once I got my services.cfg configured properly.

Thanks Again,

Steve
