you are right. The alert flow is only in one direction: from scom to nagios. For the way back you need another connector. (and is more difficult because a real connector neeeds to create all objects from nagios in scom so that the alerts are bound to the source object)

Just to confirm, if we want to send status messages from Nagios to SCOM, we will need a different solution (such as QMX)?

Cheers

Michael

the connector simple starts the send_nsca.exe program to submit statusmessages to nagios. (passive check)

Best regards

Can you tell me how it communicates with Nagios? We use nagios for some of our unix monitoring and this might but cool to hook into our system. But I am curious about how it communicates with Nagios.
