1. You do not need net-snmp for the win2k servers, just install it like you did snmp for 2k3.
2. You need to manually create an external command file in the location specified in the error. The easiest way is to return to the dir where your compiled nagios and run 'make install-commandmode' -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Melanie Pfefer Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 3:50 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP/Windows disk usage 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...
