I'm not absolutely positive, but I think you just need to change your
"test" file so it says "syslog-ng" instead of "nmbd". It's possible to
send passive checks (via nsca or whatever other methods one may employ)
for _any_ host or service you can imagine, but Nagios will log and ignore
every one of them unless they're properly defined in your Nagios config
files.
From http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/passivechecks.html
Note that in order to submit service checks to Nagios, a service must have
already been defined in the object configuration file! Nagios will ignore
all check results for services that had not been configured before it was
last (re)started.

Probably not...
I have been reading some documentation on both syslog and nsca that talk (at
the same time) about distributed systems and logging. This is a test script
that I took from one to the pieces of documentation and appears that I messed
up at midnight.
With that said...how can I can I test this in this manner?
Thanks

Sorry for top-posting but my point would get lost in the mix.
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.
Did I miss something?

Subject: [Nagios-users] nsca/services issue
I have a question about nsca and service checks. 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 isnt 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 hasnt 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 couldnt get nsca to expand the variable
I have checked
permissions, etc.
So
where have I messed up? LOL.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
