Hi, I am getting the following error message when i configure the NSCA for some windows remote host:

localhost xinetd[3651]: START: nsca pid=20516 from=x.x.x.x Jul 18 09:00:38
localhost nsca[20516]: Handling the connection...
Jul 18 09:00:39 localhost nsca[20516]: Dropping packet with future timestamp.
Jul 18 09:00:39 localhost xinetd[3651]: ExiT: nsca status=0 pid=20516''

I have tried to resolve this problem setting the max_packet_age=0 in NSCA.cfg but i still get the same error message also i have tried to setup the time_delay in nsc.ini of the remote host but the same thing.

I have checking the time in both sides (Nagios Server and Remote Host)and difference is less than 2 minutes.

Is NSCA the best solution to monitor (CPU, Mem, Storage, Service) of Windows Remote Servers using Passive checks?

[NSCA Commands]
my_cpu_check=checkCPU warn=80 crit=90 time=20m time=10s time=4
my_mem_check=checkMem MaxWarn=80% MaxCrit=90% ShowAll type=page
my_c_drive_check=CheckDriveSize ShowAll MinWarnFree=10% MinCritFree=5% Drive=c:\
my_d_drive_check=CheckDriveSize ShowAll MinWarnFree=10% MinCritFree=5% Drive=d:\
host_check=check_ok

Any suggestion?

Thanks for your help

The only thing I could find on this error was an older thread here:
http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/discussion/topic/333

Are you using the most recent version of NSClient?

I am using the NSClient 0.3.9 (Latest one).

Not sure if you've looked at this one or not, but it might be worth a look.

Hi there,
Yes i have already read this document but the NSCA is working correctly, actually there are one computer is working correctly but the rest with devices with any clock difference are not working at all.

I have tried to disable this error from the NSCA.cfg using the max_packet_age=0 and also from the client device (NSC.INI) using the time_delay but it didn´t work.

I don´t know what can i try now, this issue is driving me crazy

Thanks for your help!
