<DIV>I am new to Nagios. I am hoping the answer to my question is a simple one. I have worked hard to try and resolve this but I must ask the community for help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Specifically I am trying to use the GWFL SNMP HP-Proliant plug-in to actively monitor the status of the HP Proliant HW such as temperature and network errors. If I run these commands from the command line on the Nagios server they work fine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also note that I am running the NSClient++ on this managed host and all of the check_nt commands seem to be working.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From what I can tell Nagios is attempting to run these check commands on the managed host as an external command. I cannot find how to tell Nagios to run this command on the Nagios server. I receive the same error using other check_snmp_xxx commands as well. OK.. Below are the meat and potatoes but note that these .cfg files have gone through various iterations and may not be in the exact syntax defined by the documentation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any and all advice is welcome.</DIV>
