Re:Nagios not quite working

[James Roberts]

Hello all:

I have set up nagios-text on testing. Currently there are no 
nagios-plugins available with apt-get due to upstream issues. The 
maintainer for nagios-plugins told me (thanks!) that netsaint plugins 
would work. I apt-got them and everything is nearly but not quite 
working. I've done a *lot* of reading and nearly understand how it works 
but obviously not enough. I've configured hosts, host groups and a 
single gateway to ping, and also installed fping. The gw is pingable of 
course.

The system reports "Warning: Monitoring process may not be running!"and 
"Process Status:  UNKNOWN". The gateway box status is shown as 'Pending'.

Clearly I've done something dumb (I'm new to nagios and Debian).  I 
assume that the netsaint plugins are not adequately bound to nagios.

Could anyone offer a few hints? Or tell me what other information I need 
to give  to help resolve this?

thanks!

J.
