From your eventlog agent server, try to telnet to port 5667 on the NSCA server. If you cannot connect, then NSCA is not running or there is a firewall blocking you. If you connect but it immediately drops the connection, then the NSCA is misconfigured (see the xinetd only_from or the nsca.conf only_from settings, or else hosts.allow settings). Finally, if you connect and do not immediately drop, it is likely the payload length as the previous user had.

It looks like the issue is the firewall or nsca not running one (since you get 'unable to connect' as your message).

Hi,

I'm got the same error:
1. Winsock error 0 trying to send to NSCA. Check the error logs for the NSCA server!
2. Error: Could not connect to host xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on port 5667

I wasn't the one configure the NSCA, but is there anyway i can find out if the NSCA is configured properly?

I figured it out!

It was the payload length

simply add the option: string_length=4096

Thanks for your reply!

On your nsca server, check the /etc/xinetd.d/nsca file (or whatever file you are holding the configuration in). Possibly you have allowed_hosts set and so xinetd is dropping connections? Also, make sure nsca is configured correctly to know where the Nagios cmd file is, and it has write access. Check the nsca log file to make sure there are no errors.
