Hello Thanks indeed. I have one windows 2000 server among the windows servers. should I simply install snmp on this machine (just as windows 2003?) or do I need net-snmp?
Meanwhile, this host is part of a hostgroup. I wanted to disable the disk check for this host only but I got this: Sorry, but Nagios is currently not checking for external commands, so your command will not be committed! Read the documentation for information on how to enable external commands... I tried to change this from nagios.cfg: check_external_commands=1 (was 0) but nagios failed to start. Any idea how to disable this check for this host only? This is what I had in the logs: [1203927618] Error: Could not create external command file '/usr/local/nagios2/var/rw/nagios.cmd' as named pipe: (2) -> No such file or directory. If this file already exists and you are sure that another copy of Nagios is not running, you should delete this file. [1203927618] Bailing out due to errors encountered while trying to initialize the external command file...
