<p class="MsoNormal">I’m new to Linux and also to Nagios monitoring, so it may be something that I’m missing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I setup a second Nagios server so I can monitor my primary Nagios server, basically if the primary Nagios stop monitoring I would like to know via the secondary Nagios.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Issue is that I setup the check_nagios plugin and its giving me the status of the Nagios process of the primary server, but when I shutoff the Nagios process on the primary server (for testing), I am NOT getting any notification from the
secondary server that something is wrong with the primary, and its also keeps telling me the process on the primary servers is OK.
