Good afternoon, 
 
I am trying to use NRDP, specifically send_nrdp.php from a nagios
client system, to send passive checks to a nagios core server and
no matter what I try nagios never receives my passive checks. I
was wondering if anyone has successfully setup NRDP to send
passive checks to nagios and if they can offer any suggestions.
Also the only real documentation I can find is a four page "NRDP -
Overview" pdf and I was wondering if someone has or can point me
to more in depth documentation? 
 
I followed the instructions in the four page pdf and nrdp seemed
to setup just fine. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://abc.def.ghi.jkl/nrdp">http://abc.def.ghi.jkl/nrdp</a> brings up the web
page exactly as the documentation shows. I filled out the webpage,
added in my token, hit submit and I received the following: 
 
<result> 
<status>0</status> 
<message>OK</message> 
− 
<meta> 
<output>2 checks processed.</output> 
</meta> 
</result> 
 
 
I am not 100% sure this is what I should receive but it looked
good. On the client I ran the following command: 
 
usr/bin/php /usr/local/nrdp/clients/send_nrdp.php --url=<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://">http://</a>abc.def.ghi.jkl/nrdp --token=mysecrettoken
--host=nagios-test-client --service=Check_Passive --state=2
--output="test1234567890" 
 
via tcpdump looking at port 80 I see the command sends data to my
nagios server but from here I am at a loss for what happens. My
passive checks stays in "unknown" status and I see very little in
nagios.log. 
 
I would be grateful for any insight as to what is supposed to
happen, what I should be looking for in a logfile, or any
suggestions/thoughts. 
 
thanks 
Dan Sanville

We've been using NRDP here for months now. No concerns.

Try adding a trailing / at the end of your URL.

As an FYI I recently posted a perl client that acts as a dropin replacement for send_ncsa to make the transition easier for nsca shops, or for shops that don't have php on their monitored hosts. It has some features that we've needed in nsca that weren't originally present like sending to multiple hosts, and caching failed result sends for retry later.

Hi,

I am trying to use NRDP,

I followed the instructions in the four page pdf and nrdp seemed to
setup just fine. http://nagios-server/nrdp brings up the web page
exactly as the documentation shows. I filled out the webpage, added in
my token, hit submit and I received the following:

The first TEST is OK : DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;my-server

<result>
<status>0</status>
<message>OK</message>
</result>

Nagios LOG : [1342184689] EXTERNAL COMMAND:
DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;my-server

The second TEST on a service is NOT OK

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<checkresults>
<checkresult type='host'>
<hostname>my-server</hostname>
<state>0</state>
<output>Everything looks okay!|perfdata</output>
</checkresult>
<checkresult type='service'>
<hostname>my-server</hostname>
<servicename>Service-swap</servicename>
<state>1</state>
<output>WARNING: Danger Will Robinson!|perfdata</output>
</checkresult>
</checkresults>

<result>
<status>0</status>
<message>OK</message>
-
<meta>
<output>2 checks processed.</output>
</meta>
</result>

Nagios LOG : Nothing

And the service is always OKthen that should be WARNING <state>1</state>

an idea?
regards.
