hello all,

I have nagios working fine with iptables off, but when I enable it wont connect.

How to fix this or allow nagios to be displayed on outside host?

carlos.

Hello and Welcome to LinuxQuestions porrascarlos80,

First off all, don't 'hijack' other threads, it's rude to do so and takes the attention of the topic of the Original Poster of this thread. So please post you own thread when you have a problem.

Next, please post some more detail, how you have the Nagios site configured, using apache? If so, post the part of the apache config. Also what have you configured for your iptables rules.

With that information at hand someone will be able to offer you more direct and faster help.

Kind regards,

Eric

as eric says....we need to know what checks nagios is doing + your iptables rule list.

consequently you should be able to easily find out what is being blocked and why if you have set up logging with your iptables.
if you have not, why not?? it is one of the golden rules

All what it was about , was red hat firewall , iptables.

allowed apache to go through and we are done.

How? ease, on command line, type setup, go on the text mode editor, select firewall, allow www service and that`s it.

thanks all.

carlos.

Glad to hear you got it working.

Kind regards,

Eric
