It's still based on the NDOUtils-maintained MySQL DB. First: setup the machine which is receiving acks - put the following line in /etc/services: get_acks 15667/tcp # get acks from other server (I chose that port by putting a "1" before NSCA standard port). - put get_acks.pl into <nagios_base_dir>/bin (on my machines it's /opt/nagios/bin) or wherever you prefer; modify the line: my $cmd = '/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'; to match your environment (i.e. put there the right path to the external commands file); - put get_acks into /etc/xinetd.d, modify the lines: server = /opt/nagios/bin/get_acks.pl # Path to script only_from = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1 to match your environment (list the IP of the sending server on the second line); - start/restart xinetd; verify it's listening on port 15667 (or whichever you chose). Second: setup the sending machine - Put replicate_acks.pl wherever you prefer; modify the configuration in it to match your environment (MySQL db location, user, password, etc.). Schedule it to run automatically. If the receiving machine is processing external commands, it should start receiving acknowledgments as well. Please notice that the script must be able to write to a lock/status file, it's in the config. I did not test it thoroughly, but it seemed to work at least one time. It might be buggy :) Hope this helps. Bye. Giacomo
