Hi everybody,
I've a problem with my nagios i've about 170 services on 110 host. When
i check with check_http a a web server on a host group the report on the
server is that the service is down for a long time but when i execute
the plugin on command line the result is OK for the server.
The error is Connection timeout and the response on command line is
Response OK in 0s.
Anybody can help me?

Yes, We have our site set up that way. Guests can view most things but only
admins can change stuff.
I'm running apache so in httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/.htpasswd.users
require valid-user
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
Options None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
I did this here instead of in an .htaccess file for two reasons:
1. The httpd.conf is loaded once, where as the .htaccess file is read every
time access to the directory is requested.
2. It puts all the config stuff in one place
Next, to be able to actually view services etc on the Nagios site as a
guest, we need to add "guest" to the following (be careful where you add
guest so that they can't make changes) in the cgi.cfg file in
/usr/local/nagios/etc :
default_user_name=guest
authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,guest

Subject: Removal of host group downtime
Message-ID:
Hey folks,
Nagios will let you put a whole host group into downtime but I do not see
where you can remove a whole host group from downtime at once. Is this
possible or planned?
If we are upgrading and put a hostgroup into downtime for 24hrs but it ends
up only taking 8hrs, we would like to delete the remaining downtime. For
large host groups, this is a lot of clicking... :)

In addition to this, you can currently schedule downtime for all
services in a hostgroup, but not all services on a host. When a host
that has 15 services on it is going down for upgrades, it is irritating
to have to put each individual service into downtime.
If you can group all the services in a hostgroup for downtime, it only
seems logical that you should be able to so the same thing at the host
level.
Is there a way of doing this that I'm notaware of, or should this just

Hi all
OK, so dont shoot me because I am running v1.03b, I will upgrade, honest!
I added a few normal hosts today, with check-host-alive and check_ping, and
suddenly my circular marked up statusmap view had a green backgound all over
the image, not just inside the network layout path. Not a problem i
guess.... now I have just had a machine go offline and the background colour
is the light pink that should be behind the host that is down. So I have one
host down, a pink background to the image, but the host that is down is
still on a green background. Oh, the host has come back up again, and the
background just went back to green again.
Is this a bug in v1.03b thats fixed in v1.04b, or a generic bug in all
versions? Any idea where I should be looking if its a config error? I cant
see anything wrong with the hosts/services files, they are the standard
check-host-alive and check_ping, nothing too extravagent.

After reading over the docs and what not, I am still a little confused
over notification setup. When I am setting up notification commands (I'm

them setup, and partially working (I now know my mistake). But before I
start banging away on the keyboard to correct this, I am hoping to have
a slightly clearer picture. Any light that could be shed on this would

Hi,
I am having a problem with getting host down notifications when the hosts are not down. There are not any packets lost just a higher rta. I set a high rta of 1000 in the command line. It appears to actually be ms and not seconds, so I set it this high in hopes that I would never get a Host Down error because of a high rta. However I still got a host down notication:
* Nagios *
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: kermit
State: DOWN
Address: 144.111.2.51
Info: PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 0, RTA = 14.00 ms
Date/Time: Sat Aug 10 06:11:13 GMT 2002
commands.cfg:
command_line /opt/apps/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 5,1% -c 10,5% -p 5 -t 1000
Ideally I would like it to never notify unless just packets are lost. I am using check_ping (netsaint-plugins 1.2.9-4) 1.41.2.3
Usage: check_ping -H -w ,% -c ,%
[-p packets] [-t timeout] [-L].
Any help will be much appreciated!

Message-ID:
David,
Firstly,
You set up contacts with notification commands so that when a
notification needs to happen for that user it will call the appropriate
command. In this way, you can actually have separate commands for
different people... kind of handy if you have a situation that might
need it.
So that's part 1. You set up notification commands for users so that
*when* a notification is send out, it knows what to do to contact the
user.
Part two:
Services do *NOT* use notification commands. They use check commands.
The difference is that a check command is what is used when a service is
checked. So let's say we use a check_tcp -p 23 for some service...
we'll call it check_telnet. If that service FAILS then we need to send
a notification to the appropriate people.
Nagios figures out who needs to be contacted based on your hostgroup
definitions (which it'll figure out from your contact_groups option in
the service), and it will send each user a notification based on
whichever notification_command they have specified.
So... in short, notification commands are used to tell Nagios how to
*notify* contacts. Check commands are used to tell Nagios how to
*check* hosts and services.
I hope this helps...

Katie,
The problem appears to be in your command_line option:
command_line???/opt/apps/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
5,1% -c 10,5% -p 5 -t 1000
You're telling it to send a critical notification if you have 10ms of
latency, or 5% packet loss.
You had 14 ms of latency, thus it sent out a critical notification.
Hope that helps,
- Terry

You're setting the wrong parameter to 1000. You set the timeout for the
command to be 1000 seconds, which isn't what you want.
> command_line /opt/apps/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
> 5,1% -c 10,5% -p 5 -t 1000
You've set the "warning" round-trip time to 5 milliseconds or 1% loss.
You've set the "critical" round-trip time to 10 milliseconds or 5% loss.
So as you can see, setting -w to 1000,1% and -c to 10000,5% might do more
like what you expect.
Note that, since you are only sending five packets per test, you're never
going to get just 1% or 5% loss. Just 0%, 20%, etc. So any dropped
packet is going to give you "critical".

Hello,
Is anybody out there using temptrax? The plugin works fine from the console
but when I use it with nagios the temperature does not update in the web

it only reads the temperature the first time the nagios process starts and
then it never changes. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you send part of your config?
I'm not using temptrax, but if the plugin works from the command line,
chances are it's a configuration problem.
Can you send any config relevant to the temptrax service definition, and
the check_command definition you're using, AND what you typed on the
command line?

Message-ID:
hmmm...it seems like the problem is that I don't have permission as nagios
user to read the serial port where the temptrax is connected, everytime that
it worked from the console I was running the command as root but when I try
to use it as a normal user the /dev/ttyS0 gives me a "permission denied"
message...
I tried "chown nagios:nagios /dev/ttyS0" to nagios or any other user with no
luck
Any ideas?????
Thanks!!!

Subject: check_smtp problem
Message-ID:
Hi all,
I know this is more suited to the plugins list but there really isnt much
activity there, so I thought I would post here (apologies to any if this is
out of order).
My problem is that with a fresh install of Nagios 1.04b using the 1.3b1
plugins, I am getting a CRITICAL response to some check_smtp service
checks.
Nagios is running on a RedHat 7.3 system (installed from source not RPMs),
the check_smtp is the default command and actually works succesfully on
most of my mail servers. In fact, on the problem servers the check returns
an "SMTP OK: 0 second response time", but still returns CRITICAL as the
service status. The details are as follows;
Domino 5.11 smtp server - OK: 0 second response time - CRITICAL
Domino 5.10 smtp server - OK: 0 second response time - CRITICAL
MS Exchange 2000 server - OK: 0 second response time - CRITICAL
qmail smtp server - OK: 0 second response time - OK
MAILsweeper esmtp server - OK: 0 second response time - OK
All configs for the above services and servers are identical (except IP
address of course!) It appears that the problem is only occuring on Domino
and Exchange servers.
Has anyone seen this problem before, and if so is there a solution? I would
like to go live with the monitoring system, but really would prefer to have
notifications working correctly on our mail servers. I have looked briefly
at the source code of the check_smtp but cant find anything that glares out
at me. (Havent coded in a looong time). I now throw myself on the combined
wisdom of the list.
Any takers?

Subject: Distributed monitoring setup
Message-ID: <005201c2426a$f628c9b0$758317d2@LTKEMP>
Greetings,
I am wishing to discuss with others their Nagios setup in a distributed
environment.
We have 3 servers running Nagios - 1 x external and 2 x internal. The
external server has outside parties having limited views to their
hosts/connections into our network. The 2 internal servers are currently
setup in a distributed environment, with one server sending results to
the other (via nsca) due to it's geographic location on our network. The
'central server' not only collects the results from the other
distributed server, but also actively checks approximately half of the
total number of hosts and services.
My reading of the Nagios documentation shows that it is assumed the
central server only accepts results from the distributed servers rather
than actively checking hosts and services itself. However, I see no
reason as to why the central server can not also actively check - there
is no design issue that I am aware of.
How do others run their distributed setup ?
Also, we believe that there are scheduling issues with Nagios under
different Linux kernels. With a 2.2.20 kernel in a distributed setup, we
found that the number of Nagios processes continued to grow - ie: there
was no reaping. An strace of a child process showed that it was waiting
to write to the external command files, while an strace of the parent
process showed no errors and the reaping worked as expected.
Therefore, we modified the start script for Nagios to include an strace
of the parent process and ran fine with this for many months. This is
with Nagios 1.0a7 through 1.0b3 and the previously undocumented
'command_check_interval=-1'.
Recently we upgraded the monitoring hosts to a 2.4 kernel, and
discovered an entirely different problem. The number of Nagios processes
grows exponentially until the load on the box is so large that a hard
reset is required. Again, the children processes do not appear to be
being reaped as would be expected. An strace of the child processes
shows that they are waiting on a write to the internal pipe (Nagios
parent process) after reading the results from the external command
file.
We have tried numerous ways of trying to correct this problem, including
upgrading to Nagios 1.0b4 and also including the latest base/checks.c
from CVS but can not get Nagios to sufficiently reap the children
processes. So, until we can resolve this problem we have been forced to
downgrade back to the 2.2 kernel, where Nagios 1.0b4 and base/checks.c
works fine (though with the strace on the parent process).
So, I would be interested in discussing with others who are running
Nagios in a distributed setup under Linux as to whether or not they are
experiencing similar issues.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi,
I am using the rpm that was linked to on the nagios site.
I can't seem to get anything other than a "?" for the icons.
I have tried 3 things:
1) setup definitions in cgi.cfg (old method)
2) setup new definitions using xed...cfg file
3) I noticed that extended definitions were part of the compile options...
so I recompiled the nagios in case the pre-packaged rpm wasn't done that
way...
but it didn't make any difference... the only thing I noticed was the
binaries
were different sizes by 2x
help.....
Thanks... Thanks for nagios and the rpms!

Subject: Notification/Contact definition question
Message-ID: <69468108-AE76-11D6-BE3D-00306570AEC8@mac.com>
If I were to have 3 contacts with the same E-mail, and pager address,
would Nagios be smart enough to only send out one notification for
that, or would it send it out 3 times?
For instance:
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name my_group
members fred, george, bob
}
define contact{
contact_name george
contact_email list at somewhere.com
contact_pager some_pager_group
}
define contact{
contact_name bob
contact_email list at somewhere.com
contact_pager some_pager_group
}
define contact{
contact_name fred
contact_email list at somewhere.com
contact_pager some_pager_group
}
Would nagios determine that it should only send out 1 E-mail to
list at somewhere.com and likewise for the pager?
I'm asking this because I'm having a situation where I have paging set
up like this for one group, and they appear to only be getting one
page.. which is what I want, but I have another group that is getting
triple E-mail (at the very least) and possibly triple the pages.
Thanks,
- Terry

That's what I thought.
I think it's broken then, but I only think it's broken for E-mail at
the moment.... possibly paging, but I'll check it out.
I'm running 1.0b5.
I'll do some testing, and drop a note to the list again when I can
determine whether or not it's actually broken for sure.

Subject: mrtg and nagios on the same machine
Message-ID: <3D2ACDA4000B7562@mss4n.bluewin.ch>
Hello list
I run mrtg for a long time on a suse8.0 system.
Now I have installed nagios on the same system. But the statusmap, trends
and histogram is not working (the html-pages create failure 404). And of
course I cant find the statusmap.cgi and so on. Regarding to the FAQ I should
install gd, zlib and png libaries. But all three libraris (sources:zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz,
libpng-1.0.14.tar.gz, gd-1.8.4.tar.gz) are already on the system, because
mrtg need this also.
My questions: Do I need to install this again, because nagios was installed
after the libaries (for mrtg)?
Can I use this zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz,libpng-1.0.14.tar.gz,gd-1.8.4.tar.gz for
nagios?
Is there out a little bit more information how to install this libaires,
especially this part, because it is not clear for me!
Then clean out your old??? Nagios configuration information and rerun the
configure script??? with the following two commands (from within you Nagios
distribution directory):
make devclean
./configure --with-gd-lib=LIBDIR --with-gd-inc=INCDIR [other options...]
Replace LIBDIR with the directory in which the gd library is installed (usually
/usr/lib or /usr/local/lib) and replace INCDIR with the directory in which
the header files for the gd library are installed (usually /usr/include
or /usr/local/include).
After you rerun the configure script, make sure to recompile??? the CGIs
and install them in their proper location.
thanks in advance

Subject: outages.cgi permission problem.
Message-ID:
Good morning,
k, so every other cgi works just fine. But for some reason i keep getting
the:
It appears as though you do not have permission to view information you
requested...
messages when i try to view the "Network Outages".
Anyone have a thought?
below is my cgi.cfg.

# CGI.CFG - Sample CGI Configuration File for Nagios 1.0b3
#
# Last Modified: 05-30-2002
#
#################################################################
# MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE
# This tells the CGIs where to find your main configuration file.
# The CGIs will read the main and host config files for any other
# data they might need.
main_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
# PHYSICAL HTML PATH
# This is the path where the HTML files for Nagios reside. This
# value is used to locate the logo images needed by the statusmap
# and statuswrl CGIs.
physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share
# URL HTML PATH
# This is the path portion of the URL that corresponds to the
# physical location of the Nagios HTML files (as defined above).
# This value is used by the CGIs to locate the online documentation
# and graphics. If you access the Nagios pages with an URL like
# http://www.myhost.com/nagios, this value should be '/nagios'
# (without the quotes).
url_html_path=/nagios/
# CONTEXT-SENSITIVE HELP
# This option determines whether or not a context-sensitive
# help icon will be displayed for most of the CGIs.
# Values: 0 = disables context-sensitive help
# 1 = enables context-sensitive help
show_context_help=0
# NAGIOS PROCESS CHECK COMMAND
# This is the full path and filename of the program used to check
# the status of the Nagios process. It is used only by the CGIs
# and is completely optional. However, if you don't use it, you'll
# see warning messages in the CGIs about the Nagios process
# not running and you won't be able to execute any commands from
# the web interface. The program should follow the same rules
# as plugins; the return codes are the same as for the plugins,
# it should have timeout protection, it should output something
# to STDIO, etc.
#
# Note: If you are using the check_nagios plugin here, the first
# argument should be the physical path to the status log, the
# second argument is the number of minutes that the status log
# contents should be "fresher" than, and the third argument is the
# string that should be matched from the output of the 'ps'
# command in order to locate the running Nagios process. That
# process string is going to vary depending on how you start
# Nagios. Run the 'ps' command manually to see what the command
# line entry for the Nagios process looks like.
#nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios
/usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 5 '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios'
# AUTHENTICATION USAGE
# This option controls whether or not the CGIs will use any
# authentication when displaying host and service information, as
# well as committing commands to Nagios for processing.
#
# Read the HTML documentation to learn how the authorization works!
#
# NOTE: It is a really *bad* idea to disable authorization, unless
# you plan on removing the command CGI (cmd.cgi)! Failure to do
# so will leave you wide open to kiddies messing with Nagios and
# possibly hitting you with a denial of service attack by filling up
# your drive by continuously writing to your command file!
#
# Setting this value to 0 will cause the CGIs to *not* use
# authentication (bad idea), while any other value will make them
# use the authentication functions (the default).
use_authentication=1
# DEFAULT USER
# Setting this variable will define a default user name that can
# access pages without authentication. This allows people within a
# secure domain (i.e., behind a firewall) to see the current status
# without authenticating. You may want to use this to avoid basic
# authentication if you are not using a sercure server since basic
# authentication transmits passwords in the clear.
#
# Important: Do not define a default username unless you are
# running a secure web server and are sure that everyone who has
# access to the CGIs has been authenticated in some manner! If you
# define this variable, anyone who has not authenticated to the web
# server will inherit all rights you assign to this user!
#default_user_name=guest
# SYSTEM/PROCESS INFORMATION ACCESS
# This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that
# have access to viewing the Nagios process information as
# provided by the Extended Information CGI (extinfo.cgi). By
# default, *no one* has access to this unless you choose to
# not use authorization. You may use an asterisk (*) to
# authorize any user who has authenticated to the web server.
authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin
# CONFIGURATION INFORMATION ACCESS
# This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that

Subject: template configs on single line?
Message-ID: <20020813080537.A63605@sysadminsith.org>
I've rtfmed and couldn't find any mention of this so here goes....
Current to define a host I have something like this:
define host{
use generic-host
host_name my-box
alias My Really Neato Box
address 127.0.0.1
}
Since now I am looking at adding ~400 hosts to Nagios I'm wondering if there
is a way to condense the config for a host to a single line for ease of
adding/removing hosts via scripts. Something like this:
define host{use generic-host;host_name [...] 127.0.0.1; }
I love the power and simplicity of template configs, but the default objects
are still ahead in my mind for ease of tinkering with via scripts.
Thanks,
--

Sounds like it may be a permission problem. What user are you executing
the command-line as? Make sure it is the same user that nagios is
running as.

You can display whatever information you like in the "additional notes"
for each server. You specify a URL in the "notes_url" directive of each
server entry in hostextinfo.cfg
I use this to not only display information on each host, but to hook
into a custom cgi that allows the nagios user to perform basic tests
like ping, traceroute, nmap, etc.

Are you SURE that Nagios is finding the gd libs? If Nagios has
problems, it *will* display errors for the plugins that need them, even
though everything else will "make".
On my system, I had to tell Nagios *specifically* where gd was,
otherwise it failed every time.

No, if they're on your system they'll work, you may have to tell Nagios'
configure script *where* they are though.

Yes.

Read the documentation for each library. It's usually in a file called
"README" in the library's directory after you extract the files.
Also read the "INSTALL" file, or its equivalent for each library (the
README will usually tell you which file to read for instructions)

Yes, where is your gd library located?
Mine is in /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/include/, but this may vary
for you.

Yup... are you confused about these steps?
If so, what are you confused about specifically?

Hello Gurus:
I am trying to check SMTP service running on Windows NT 4.0/Lotus Domino
R5.0.10 through Nagios v 1.0b4 installed on Solaris 8 box. It is giving
me critical error message. It looks like that it is not getting any

could be wrong with my configuration? I have checked IP address and it
is SMTP server's IP address.
Thanks,

Subject: Netscape 6.2, Windows, and Nagios
Message-ID:
Hey all.
My Nagios install is running great. However, as I hate IE, I'm trying
to switch over to Netscape on my Windows box (I have to run Windows, as
some our internal apps aren't ported yet).
Whenever I got an alert from Nagios in the tactical overview screen, it
played the little sound on IE. However, in Netscape, it keeps coming up
with the 'get the plug-in' garbage, which only has Quicktime as an
option.
I like having the alert sounds---what plug in can I install to make it
work correctly?
Thanks!

Subject: outages.cgi permission problem.
Message-ID:
actually i found my problem about 10 minutes after i sent the e-mail.
my problem was in cgi.cfg. i still had the
authorized_for_all_services/hosts and
authorized_for_all_service/host_commands commented out.
it seems a bit strange to me that this outage.cgi was the only thing i saw
affected. Currently i only have one user, my nagiosadmin. i just assumed
that he would have all access.
guess not.
thanks,
dean

if all the CGI's were compiled at the same time ? check permissions on
the file itself. if no go there, check your server logs. I would bet
it's calling a file that is not set up correctly for permissions.
status.log maybe? I know on my version that nagios.lock never gets
deleted no matter how i shut it down cause for some odd reason it gets
created with whoever i fired the process up with..

# CGI.CFG - Sample CGI Configuration File for Nagios 1.0b3
#
# Last Modified: 05-30-2002
#
#################################################################
# MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE
# This tells the CGIs where to find your main configuration file.
# The CGIs will read the main and host config files for any other
# data they might need.
main_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
# PHYSICAL HTML PATH
# This is the path where the HTML files for Nagios reside. This
# value is used to locate the logo images needed by the statusmap
# and statuswrl CGIs.
physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share
# URL HTML PATH
# This is the path portion of the URL that corresponds to the
# physical location of the Nagios HTML files (as defined above).
# This value is used by the CGIs to locate the online documentation
# and graphics. If you access the Nagios pages with an URL like
# http://www.myhost.com/nagios, this value should be '/nagios'
# (without the quotes).
url_html_path=/nagios/
# CONTEXT-SENSITIVE HELP
# This option determines whether or not a context-sensitive
# help icon will be displayed for most of the CGIs.
# Values: 0 = disables context-sensitive help
# 1 = enables context-sensitive help
show_context_help=0
# NAGIOS PROCESS CHECK COMMAND
# This is the full path and filename of the program used to check
# the status of the Nagios process. It is used only by the CGIs
# and is completely optional. However, if you don't use it, you'll
# see warning messages in the CGIs about the Nagios process
# not running and you won't be able to execute any commands from
# the web interface. The program should follow the same rules
# as plugins; the return codes are the same as for the plugins,
# it should have timeout protection, it should output something
# to STDIO, etc.
#
# Note: If you are using the check_nagios plugin here, the first
# argument should be the physical path to the status log, the
# second argument is the number of minutes that the status log
# contents should be "fresher" than, and the third argument is the
# string that should be matched from the output of the 'ps'
# command in order to locate the running Nagios process. That
# process string is going to vary depending on how you start
# Nagios. Run the 'ps' command manually to see what the command
# line entry for the Nagios process looks like.
#nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios
/usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 5 '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios'
# AUTHENTICATION USAGE
# This option controls whether or not the CGIs will use any
# authentication when displaying host and service information, as
# well as committing commands to Nagios for processing.
#
# Read the HTML documentation to learn how the authorization works!
#
# NOTE: It is a really *bad* idea to disable authorization, unless
# you plan on removing the command CGI (cmd.cgi)! Failure to do
# so will leave you wide open to kiddies messing with Nagios and
# possibly hitting you with a denial of service attack by filling up
# your drive by continuously writing to your command file!
#
# Setting this value to 0 will cause the CGIs to *not* use
# authentication (bad idea), while any other value will make them
# use the authentication functions (the default).
use_authentication=1
# DEFAULT USER
# Setting this variable will define a default user name that can
# access pages without authentication. This allows people within a
# secure domain (i.e., behind a firewall) to see the current status
# without authenticating. You may want to use this to avoid basic
# authentication if you are not using a sercure server since basic
# authentication transmits passwords in the clear.
#
# Important: Do not define a default username unless you are
# running a secure web server and are sure that everyone who has
# access to the CGIs has been authenticated in some manner! If you
# define this variable, anyone who has not authenticated to the web
# server will inherit all rights you assign to this user!
#default_user_name=guest
# SYSTEM/PROCESS INFORMATION ACCESS
# This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that
# have access to viewing the Nagios process information as
# provided by the Extended Information CGI (extinfo.cgi). By
# default, *no one* has access to this unless you choose to
# not use authorization. You may use an asterisk (*) to
# authorize any user who has authenticated to the web server.

# CONFIGURATION INFORMATION ACCESS
# This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that
# can view ALL configuration information (hosts, commands, etc).

# to the web server.
authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin
# SYSTEM/PROCESS COMMAND ACCESS
# This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that
# can issue shutdown and restart commands to Nagios via the
# command CGI (cmd.cgi). Users in this list can also change
# the program mode to active or standby. By default, *no one*
# has access to this unless you choose to not use authorization.
# You may use an asterisk (*) to authorize any user who has
# authenticated to the web server.

Subject: check_http plugin redirects bug
Message-ID: <3D594AB2.2030203@quadrix.com>
I sent this to the nagiosplug list with no response, so I was hoping
someone on this list might be able to respond to this:
I have found a problem with the check_http plugin and its ability to
follow redirects properly. If it hits a redirect that has the full
domain and file name given, it can follow the redirect (assuming you are
giving the plugin the "-f follow" argument). However, if the
redirect in the HTTP header only gives the file name without a leading
slash, the plugin tries doing a GET for that file name. Since it is
missing the leading slash, the plugin will always return a 404 in this case.
Should I just fix the plugin to make sure that the leading slash is
added, or is the plugin developer on this list and he/she would like to
fix it? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Subject: seperating notification types based on timeperiod and nothing els
e??
Message-ID:
Good morning,
k, so i have 1100 hosts setup in my nagios config. i am now
configuring the notification for these hosts and services. The problem is
that i have hosts/services that are deemed critical and i want to be able to
change the method of notification depending on the timeperiod.
e.g. Critical_server goes down during working hours, techs are on-site and
watching their e-mail so i just want them to be notified via e-mail.
If Critical_server goes down during non-working hours, techs are not
checking their e-mail and need to be paged as well.
It seems as though the only place to tell nagios _how_ to notify a
contact is in the contact.cfg.
Based on my understanding, i would have to create two contacts for
each technician (tech1-workinghours, tech1-nonworkinghours,
tech2-workinghours, tech2-nonworkinghours...) and also two contactgroups
(techs-workinghours, techs-nonworkinghours). Then i add both contactgroups
to the host's/service's "contact_groups" entry.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this??
thanks in advance,
dean

Greetings all,
I'm actually using Netsaint 0.0.7 still.. question about external
commands. It's only worked once. I don't get any errors from the web page,
and it tells me that it was successful, but the command never happens. It
just sits in the /usr/local/netsaint/var/rw/netsaint.cmd file and never gets
processed. I've tried restarting netsaint, and as far as I can tell, the
permissions are correct because it's able to write the netsaint.cmd file.
Is there anything in particular that I should be looking at? I've checked
Google but can't find anything different than what I've already tried. :(
Thanks for any assistance..

Subject: "(No output!)" Critical Alert Solution
Message-ID:
Hello all. A few weeks ago I sent out an email regarding plugin alerts
being created with "(No output!)" as the alert output. Nobody responded to
the message but, nonetheless, I have found a solution and would like to
share in the event that anybody ever comes across a similar situation.
Here is some background information:
+ We've been running NetSaint/Nagios for over 6 months.
+ We currently have 250 hosts being monitored and ~300 services.
+ The server is running NetBSD/i386 1.5.2.
+ We began seeing these alerts after growing to be a little more than 200
hosts.
After a lot of unsuccessful attempts at modifying the actual Nagios code
and getting nowhere (and even trying to downgrade Nagios), I decided that
the problem had to be due to the increased number of managed hosts. The
"(No output!)" message is the default output to a plugin response and it
remains if the plugin terminates unexpectedly. In a nutshell, I could not
think of many reasons why the program would terminate other than some kind
of resource issue. A quick look at our default NetBSD ulimits gave me hope
as the stack/file descriptors/processes limits were terribly small. I
bumped them up in the nagios init script by adding the following:
ulimit -n unlimited
ulimit -s unlimited
ulimit -p unlimited
That solved the problem and we've been running without a hitch for the past
few weeks. Some preliminary testing made me believe that it was the
stacksize setting that made the difference but I did not go too deep and
could not say for absolute certain at this point.
At any rate, this is probably of limited use to most people as the Linux
distributions seem to have much higher default ulimits, but if it prevents
another person from beating his head against the wall for a week or two
then I'll be pleased. :)
Happy monitoring!

yeah, permissions could be fine but the file type is wrong.

Subject: SNMP Monitoring
Message-ID: <1029274684.21747.452.camel@linuxws1>
I suspect there is some animosity out there toward SNMP, but I would
still like to request a very small convenience.
I have written a tool to monitor processes on remote machines using the
host-resources mib. It is in perl and uses the Net-SNMP library. I am
working on getting permission to release it to the list. But, keeping
track of community names is a real PITA in Nagios right now, so here's
my proposal:
define host {
...
snmp_community public
}
# - or -
define hostgroup {
...
snmp_community public
}
# a couple example commands
define command {
command_name snmp_monitor_process
command_line $USER1$/snmp_process_monitor.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
$SNMPCOMMUNITY$ --command $ARG1$
}
define command {
command_name snmp_monitor_multiple_processes
command_line $USER1$/snmp_process_monitor.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
$SNMPCOMMUNITY$ --command $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}
I know similar things can be done using the $USER?$ macros, but it's not
as intuitive as what I've suggested above. Also, the CGI's don't even
really need to know about the communities, to prevent giving them to the
whole world. Not like they're very secret anyways.
Later,

Subject: VRML problem
Message-ID: <1589902673.1029281896541.JavaMail.root@monkey>
I've been trying to get VRML working properly. I've installed the Cortona VRML browser and can get some sort of image to view, but it's a standard image which simply says:
You have not supplied any 3-D drawing coordinates.
Read the FAQs for more information on doing this.
However, I *have* read the FAQs. I've successfully configured a handful of hosts to display using the user-supplied coords when viewing the Status Map. I've successfully implemented the add-on images. I'm reasonably certain (from what I've read) that I've set up the necessary config info to get VRML to display properly.
Here's a snippet from my hostextinfo.cfg file (hostname changed to protect the innocent):
define hostextinfo{
name solaris
icon_image sun40.gif
vrml_image sun40.jpg
statusmap_image sun40.gd2
register 0
}
define hostextinfo{
host_name charlie
use solaris
2d_coords 100,100
3d_coords 100.0,100.0,100.0
}
At the very least, I should be seeing 'charlie' in the VRML image, but I do not.
(I originally tried the 3d_coords as whole numbers (not dotted), but on reading the FAQ, surmised that perhaps the dotted notation was required. Clearly it didn't make a difference here.)
Thoughts? Suggestions?

It's not creating the correct file, I guess... I removed the directory and
basically copy/pasted directly from the section on external commands in the
documentation. (That's what's in the perms.sh file)
Yours is also owned by netsaint:netsaint... the docs said nobody:nscmd - I
wonder if that has anything to do with it. Apache is running as
nobody/nogroup, and members of the nscmd group are netsaint, nobody.

Subject: on-call pager rotation
Message-ID: <1660304721.1029284597269.JavaMail.root@monkey>
Perhaps this is the wrong list to submit this to, but maybe someone already has a solution/workaround....
In an environment where you have one (or more) administrative groups, where all admins have their own pager (ie, instead of a 'floater' which gets handed off to the on-call admin), it would be handy for one of the admins to either 'hand off' the virtual pager to someone else in his group, or to 'take' the virtual pager from someone else in his group.
For example, let's say there's an admininstrative group called linuxadmin, with admins rob, sue and stef. As rob finishes his 1 week (for example) with the virtual pager, either he would reassign it to sue, or sue would reassign it to herself. After sue is done with her week, she passes the buck to terry (or stef assigns it to himself), etc etc and so on.
The crude way of doing this would, of course, to be editing escalations.cfg once a week, changing who gets to be the primary on-call. But I'd like to think there's a better way of doing this, preferably web-based.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

As you can see, the configs are identical between all servers (I am still
trying to get the whole thing up and running consistently before altering
each config to be appropriate for its purpose).
The check_smtp command is unaltered from the original install and there is
a check_ping to each of the above servers as well. I have tried
with/without the additional services (keene_mx for instance also has a
check_pop which runs fine) and still get the same result.
The only consistency in the failures is the type of server. I have tried
monitoring other mail servers of the same type and always seem to get the
same result. ie Exchange2000 and Domino _always_ seem to fail and qmail and
MAILsweeper for SMTP _never_ fail. Telnetting to each brings up the
expected "220" result and as I said in the first email, I _do_ get an OK: 0
second response time on every server whether they list as OK or CRITICAL.
Well thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have.

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_smtp problem
Hi all,
I know this is more suited to the plugins list but there really isnt much
activity there, so I thought I would post here (apologies to any if this is
out of order).
My problem is that with a fresh install of Nagios 1.04b using the 1.3b1
plugins, I am getting a CRITICAL response to some check_smtp service
checks.
Nagios is running on a RedHat 7.3 system (installed from source not RPMs),
the check_smtp is the default command and actually works succesfully on
most of my mail servers. In fact, on the problem servers the check returns
an "SMTP OK: 0 second response time", but still returns CRITICAL as the
service status. The details are as follows;
Domino 5.11 smtp server - OK: 0 second response time - CRITICAL
Domino 5.10 smtp server - OK: 0 second response time - CRITICAL
MS Exchange 2000 server - OK: 0 second response time - CRITICAL
qmail smtp server - OK: 0 second response time - OK
MAILsweeper esmtp server - OK: 0 second response time - OK
All configs for the above services and servers are identical (except IP
address of course!) It appears that the problem is only occuring on Domino
and Exchange servers.
Has anyone seen this problem before, and if so is there a solution? I would
like to go live with the monitoring system, but really would prefer to have
notifications working correctly on our mail servers. I have looked briefly
at the source code of the check_smtp but cant find anything that glares out
at me. (Havent coded in a looong time). I now throw myself on the combined
wisdom of the list.
Any takers?

When we used to have that situation we did it via. email (or now I would
do it through the qpage config). We just kept an alias of
operations-pager and it would be set to whoever was on-call that week.
The plan was I would eventually have a web page to manage it, but that
never happened.

I think there's a problem in the dates on some of the automake-ish
files in the 1.3-beta1 distribution (which I reported to the
nagiosplug-devel list earlier today).
The "cd . &&" command is trying to run automake or aclocal, which
you likely don't have on your system.
Try this, which worked for me on a couple of machines:
gunzip < nagiosplug-1.3-beta1.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd nagiosplug-1.3-beta1
touch aclocal.m4; sleep 1
touch Makefile.in; sleep 1
touch configure; sleep 1
./configure
gmake
Doing the "touch" commands avoids having make want to run automake
and friends.
Cheers!

check the following line in the source - check_smtp.c
#define SMTP_QUIT
It should say
#define SMTP_QUIT "QUIT\r\n"
The RFC requires \r\n after every command - the earlier plugin only used a
\n which worked with sendmail and all the unix based smtp servers.

can you run the plugin from the command line and check the result of
'echo $?' after the completion of execution.
Also can you run strace - on a commandline execution of the plugin if the
above echo returned a "2".
either list works for these questions...

I have some basic questions about it.
What does hostdependency mean?
It should mean that when hathway is down , nagios should not even check
for the services of mindsw.com, but we have to define the service
dependencies also, Why?
In service dependencies, i have defined that PING of mindsw.com is
dependent on PING of hathway and all the services of mindsw.com are
dependent on PING of mindsw.com. Even then, when hathway is down, nagios
checks for all the services of mindsw.com and then shows them in critical
state.
Should it show the services of mindsw.com in Unknown state if the service
they are dependent on is not OK??
I have also set soft_state_dependencies=1 in nagios.cfg also, so that if
any service fails and has soft error state, then also the dependent
services should not be executed.
Thanks

Terry,
I haven't done the 3D stuff, but the docs explain how to do it.
You'll need to set coordinates for each device... I haven't quite
reached that point yet, but I'd take a look at the docs if you haven't
already, as they do explain how to set that all up.

You don't have to set up two contact groups.
Simply set up two timeperiods... one for when they should get E-mail
(which is always?) and one for when they get paged.
Create a user that gets paged, and a user that gets E-mail and add them
to the one contact group.
Nagios will figure out when to send what based on your time periods.
Hope that helps,

Subject: Config file messiness
Message-ID: <003901c2437d$bdf888f0$0500a8c0@earth>
Hi every1 :)
Anybody have a neat way of setting up hosts and services on nagios.
I started by using the sample layouts but actually moved to a system which seems to be neater but probably more complex.
This is the layout at present
/etc/ - contains config data.. eg. nagios.cfg
/etc/locations - contains service_pingall.cfg
/etc/locations/melbourne
/etc/locations/adelaide
/etc/locations/sydney
/etc/locations/perth
for those of you outside Australia (I presume most of you) these are a list of a few capital cities where we have pops or proxy servers installed.
Inside these directories I contain a file for each host to be configured, this includes the host information and any services to be configured with them.
making the files rather large be defining the defaults as a template is also tedious but changing all the files at this stage is going to be a long and tedious task.
Anybody have a nicer way of doing this?
Would it be better to implement a database type structure or would this slow the system down too much?
anyway, any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Scott

Well, sorry about the delay, I have been reading, just not replying for a few odd days or weeks, anyway.. the result from setting up dependancies is a little tedious.
After being confused by the fact that a host dependancy is not actually related to a service dependancy I think I am finally ready to implement something half useable.
the problem is that a service consisting of a ping is still not related to a host being host_checked by a ping.. confusing or what!!
so if a service ping stops responding then a dependant will still be checked and show as unreachable.. damn annoying as I have all my hosts set with a ping * service by default.. :(
I do need the ping * service as I have lots of routers online and other than checking telnet ports all over the place this was the easiest way of adding a default service to a new host "on the fly"
so, unless you specifically have a dependant service I would always suggest using a host dependancy..
Thanks again
Scott

Good morning,
confirm the following in /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg:
Template-based extended information definitions are stored in seperate
configuration files, apart from the CGI configuration file. In order to tell
the CGIs where to find your configuration information, you must add the
following directive in your CGI configuration file:
xedtemplate_config_file=configuration_file
Example:
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg

Subject: [Nagios-users] VRML problem
I've been trying to get VRML working properly. I've installed the Cortona
VRML browser and can get some sort of image to view, but it's a standard
image which simply says:
You have not supplied any 3-D drawing coordinates.
Read the FAQs for more information on doing this.
However, I *have* read the FAQs. I've successfully configured a handful of
hosts to display using the user-supplied coords when viewing the Status Map.
I've successfully implemented the add-on images. I'm reasonably certain
(from what I've read) that I've set up the necessary config info to get VRML
to display properly.
Here's a snippet from my hostextinfo.cfg file (hostname changed to protect
the innocent):
define hostextinfo{
name solaris
icon_image sun40.gif
vrml_image sun40.jpg
statusmap_image sun40.gd2
register 0
}
define hostextinfo{
host_name charlie
use solaris
2d_coords 100,100
3d_coords 100.0,100.0,100.0
}
At the very least, I should be seeing 'charlie' in the VRML image, but I do
not.
(I originally tried the 3d_coords as whole numbers (not dotted), but on
reading the FAQ, surmised that perhaps the dotted notation was required.
Clearly it didn't make a difference here.)
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Message-ID:
The CGIs currently have access to all the config files except resource.cfg
where all the USERx macros are stored.
One reason not to have snmp_community in the host definition is that it
will increase the memory footprint because you will have to allocate a
struct member for all hosts. Otherwise we could add NSClient passwords and
other access method information as well.
Keeping the community names in resource.cfg can be painless if one can
make up a mapping between classes of devices with common communities and
the USERx macro numbers. e.g I use USER10 for all switches/hubs, USER11
for all hosts/server, USER9 for all routers.

Message-ID: <6319AEF0FF0BC4488F10029776CEAC070F5656@MAIL01.orhs.org>
Hi All,
I've got Nagios running nicely on my linux and AIX servers.
Now, I'm trying to install it onto a DEC Alpha we have. I got the
plugins to compile, and nrpe seems to compile with no problems. I
edited the nrpe.cfg file, and added the ip of my Nagios server. When I
try to run a plugin from my Nagios server (ie, "[root at nagios libexec]#
./check_nrpe eagle -c check_load"), I get: CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes.
Are we allowed to connect to the host?
I have checked the config file for the address about 10 times to make
sure that it was right, and it still doesn't want to answer.
So, I saw that the config file says that if it runs under inetd, it
ignores that. So, I tried to start it under inetd, and it seems like it
doesn't ever start. When I run netstat -a | grep nrpe, it show's
nothing. Likewise, I also tried netstat -a | grep 5666, and nothing.
I've also added nrpe to the services file. When I add it to the
inetd.conf, and restart inetd, I get "connection refused by host" from
check_nrpe.
Anyone else had luck getting nrpe to work under OSF/1(aka TruUNIX) 4.0F?

We're looking at the same thing here. What I came up with was replacing
the actual qpage notification with a simple wrapper that looks in a
directory that contains files named by on-call person. For instance, in
/opt/nagios/notifications/dbase, you'd have three empty files, rob, bill
and stef (or whatever). They'd be world-writable. All that someone has
to do is touch the appropriate file to change who's on-call. The person
going OFF-call is always the best choice here, as he or she has a vested
interest in the rotation happening, or else his or her pager keeps going
off!
orion:(jasonm):/opt/nagios/notifications/dbase$ ls -1rt
rob
stef
bill
Now, if bill's coming off-call and it's rob's turn, bill would "touch"
rob, and now:
orion:(jasonm):/opt/nagios/notifications/dbase$ touch rob
orion:(jasonm):/opt/nagios/notifications/dbase$ ls -1rt
bill
stef
rob
Rob is listed last, so he'd be the one on call. The notification wrapper
just does a ls -1rt in that directory, does a tail -1 on the result, and
voila, you get the name of the new on-call person.
You can rig up a CGI script to do this, so if Bill gets off work and
goes to the grocery store and the stupid pager goes off, he can get out
his wireless PDA and click on "make rob the on-call guy". You get the
idea.

Subject: Is there An Explanation of The Nagios Architecture Anywhere?
Message-ID: <3D5A747F.3000308@sportingbet.com>
Having more or less completely set up nagios on a
single server, called orange, monitoring only itself,
I went through the docs again to look for guidance
on how to extend the set up to monitor >1 server.
So far I've been taking the approach of RTFM, then
grokking before doing, as I'm trying to avoid
getting myself in a mess where all seems to work for
my test rig, but I don't understand how I got there.
On the way, I became a bit confused by the meanings
of some of the terms used.
But I believe that if I want to do basic monitoring
of a set of hosts, say blue and red, from a single
central server (orange), I can, for example, run
check_ping and check_http from orange to get stats
for blue and red.
However, what am I supposed to do if I want to know
about load or disk usage on blue and red? Is it enough
to install nrpe plus the plugins only on red and blue?
(
I'm a bit confused by the use of term "remote" here
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/addons.html#nrpe
as opposed to here
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/networkreachability.html
)
TIA for any help,
Adam.

Well, that was a good idea, and I tried that, but here I think is the
real problem for both NRPE and NSCA. When I run the ./configure and
then "make all", during the make, I get these errors...
These errors come with the cc that comes with DEC
--- cut ---
# make all
cd ./src/; make ; cd ..
cc -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H nrpe.c netutils.c -o nrpe
nrpe.c:

bzero(&myname.sin_zero,8);
--------------^
netutils.c:

--- end of cut
These are the errors that come with gcc
--- cut ---

--- end cut ---
The compile finishes, and creates a nrpe and check_nrpe file... I tried
to install the gnu ld, but that breaks gcc on osf1. Well, mine,
anyway...
NSCA finishes with a "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status" error, and
doesn't create anything...

Hi All,
I've got Nagios running nicely on my linux and AIX servers.
Now, I'm trying to install it onto a DEC Alpha we have. I got
the plugins to compile, and nrpe seems to compile with no problems. I
edited the nrpe.cfg file, and added the ip of my Nagios server. When I
try to run a plugin from my Nagios server (ie, "[root at nagios libexec]#
./check_nrpe eagle -c check_load"), I get: CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes.
Are we allowed to connect to the host?
I have checked the config file for the address about 10 times to
make sure that it was right, and it still doesn't want to answer.
So, I saw that the config file says that if it runs under inetd,
it ignores that. So, I tried to start it under inetd, and it seems like
it doesn't ever start. When I run netstat -a | grep nrpe, it show's
nothing. Likewise, I also tried netstat -a | grep 5666, and nothing.
I've also added nrpe to the services file. When I add it to the
inetd.conf, and restart inetd, I get "connection refused by host" from
check_nrpe.
Anyone else had luck getting nrpe to work under OSF/1(aka
TruUNIX) 4.0F?

Whenever you want to check something on a server that is not visible
externally (disk, load, etc) you need to install the plugins on that
system and a method of invoking those plugins from the monitoring host
(eg. nrpe)
Nagios considers anything not on the localhost that it is running to be
remote hosts. Some remote hosts may be on remote network segments.
For the purposes of determining network reachability, remote network
segment hosts are treated slightly differently than local network segment
hosts.
hope that clears it up a bit :)

Subject: trouble with Performance Data
Message-ID:
Hi,
I aim to export data collected by nagios to a file, in order to use them with rrdtool.
To achieve that, i followed instructions of the page : http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/perfdata.html
- nagios is compiled with "--with-file-perfdata" option
- my nagios.cfg file contains the line : process_performance_data=1
- As i'm using File-base method, the nagios.cfg file contains also :

xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$
- in service.cfg, a line such as
process_perf_data 1
appears in the global description of hosts/services.
And it's a failure...
when i restart nagios,
both files /usr/local/nagios/var/{service,host}perf.log are created, empty.
but they stay empty...
On the web interface, "Process info" option, "Performance Data Being Processed" is set at "No" !!!
When i try to enable performance data (via the web), nagios asks me to activate external command...
My questions :
--------------
- according to my tests, nagios doesn't perform check in the conf. file for variable which begin with x...
(xfoo_bar=/tmp doesn't produce error, while foo_bar=/tmp does)
Are the xpdfile_{service,host} directives really used now by nagios (or it's just to prepare future features)?
- Is it normal that in the "process info", performance data is said inactive ?
If it's not normal, what is the link with external commands ? In my mind, configuration is enough to export data...
- what's wrong with my conf ? !!! :)

Yeah,
Your problem isn't with Nagios. :)
The plugin is working exactly as it should.
It's reporting what fping is telling it.
fping thinks your host is unreachable.

Terry,
The problem is that the output of the plugins reports the host as being in
an 'OK' state which of course a host would not be were it down.

Subject: Using Nagios with RRD/NRG
Message-ID: <002f01c24415$99447e40$b58031ca@bcl977307>
Hi,
I'd like to use Nagios with NRG, an RRD frontend by Steve Rader. I see that
Nagios works with MRTG (mrtgtraf). Has anyone made it work with RRD files?
How much beer would it take to convince someone to do it?
cheers!

Ah!
Sorry, I should have read more carefully.
What does your check_fping definition look like?
Does fping correctly report for up hosts?
Also, where did you get the plugin from? (Is it a Nagios plugin, or
the old netsaint plugins)?

It shows OK for both hosts that are up as well as those that are down.

Jamie -
Geez, give me enough beer and you can convince me that I really *can*
kick butt on that 400lb, 6'7" wrestler at the other end of the bar!
:-)
I think the guy that made cacti made a Netsaint interface to RRD, actually.
http://www.raxnet.net/products/cacti/additional_scripts.php <---the URL for
his additional scripts.
I dunno if it requires cacti or not, but cacti seems pretty cool anyway. :)
By the way.. I prefer Rogue Ales (from Newport, Oregon) - feel free to send
some this way ;)

Hmm. Close but no cigar.
maybe a combination of ./rrdtool fetch-ing the last entry and comparing
against a threshold value...

Myke,
The fping utility opens a raw socket. Every UNIX I've ever used
restricted this operation to the root user. What I had to do on my system
to get check_fping to work was 'chown root:nagiosgroup' both the fping
binary and check_fping plugin, then 'chmod 4750' them so that they would be
executed with root privileges.
Hope this helps,

Subject: possible Service-Bug
Message-ID:
Hello!
I'm using Nagios1.0b5 on SuseLinux 8.0 Kernel 2.4.18 with
NagiosPlug-1.3-beta1.
I noticed that when specify a Service (in my case a selfwritten
check_unixdisk which checks harddrive-capacitys via snmp) with more than one
Host, nagios declares that the value of this service is the same on all
hosts(in this service-specification).It seems that the value of the last
check is taken for all.
f.i. i get an output like that:
HOST SERVICE .....STATUS-INFORMATION
comnputerA "Used-Space /opt" total: 1000MB used 269MB (26%)
comnputerB "Used-Space /opt" total: 1000MB used 269MB (26%)
comnputerC "Used-Space /opt" total: 1000MB used 269MB (26%)
But it's working fine on Nagios 1.0a6 with SuseLinux 7.2 Kernel 2.4.4.
Knows somebody what the fault is?
thank you in advance
Uwe

Subject: 3d status map name expected error.
Message-ID:
Good morning,
k so the 3d status map is a frill but it is still irritating me that it
doesn't work for me.
if i strip down my hosts, hostgroups, and services so that i have only one
entry (snippets below)
my 3d status map works. However, when i use my proper configs which include
about 1100 hosts, i get the following error from cortona:
name expected
File: http://10.1.4.19/nagios/cgi-bin/statuswrl.cgi?host=all
Line: 34370
Column: 24
What is this telling me? i don't have anything with 34000 lines in it. I
read in a previous post that a dot caused a similar problem. i don't have
any dots. i have a bunch of hyphens and underscores. The only other thing
i can think of is the length of the device name, which in some cases is 47
characters long (e.g. Our-Lady-of-Perpetual-Help-0239-Bell-Switch)
i'm not anxious to start half splitting my config files (trying to remove
the entry causing the error).
thanks in advance,
dean

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get the host(s) to stop giving an undetermined
status in any of the reporting tabs? On of my operations analysts has
to turn in a monthly report on system availability, and these reports
would be useful. However, anytime we run the reports, the majority of
the time for all the hosts is indeterminate.
Thanks,
Al

In the graphs, hosts will ALWAYS be undetermined unless a service check
has failed on that box. Host checks never run unless a service on that
hosts fails. on the status screen, this shows up as Host OK Assumed to
be up. However, in the graphs, since there is no real host data (not
host checks have occurred), it shows up as undetermined. The easy way
to fix this is on the Select Report Options step, changed the Assumed
State drop to Host UP instead of unspecified. This will change those
undetermineds to OK, which is really the case because they are up (all
their services are up, so they must be up), they just haven't been checked.

I wanted to report that I'm having great success with nagios. Local
monitoring and remote using NRPE work spectacularly. I cleaned one thing
up, though. I linked /var/log/nagios, /etc/httpd/conf/nagios-httpd.conf,
and /usr/lib/nagios/plugins all into the /etc/nagios folder for easier
access. I also created a /etc/nagios/hosts folder where I stored uniquely
named host files like host1.cfg and referenced them in the main
nagios.cfg.

All tcp service checks (check_http, check_imap, etc) all produce 100%
indeterminate data. Local service checks like check_load, check_procs,
check_disk return data sporadically. What is the cause of this? Is it
related to the mysql resources.cfg settings? This is my only problem with
nagios afaik. Otherwise it's great!

Ok - Thanks to Al's question and Russell's anwer - I understand the host
availability report now.
But what about services? (Either I have really missed something, or I have a
problem)
If I run a report against services I monitor w/ as follows - I get different
results based on time periods:
Assume intitial states = yes
assume state retention = yes
first assumed state = unspecified
backtracked archives 4
zoom factor 4
if I run a report for this month - I get what i expect - near 100% up - for all
dates - up to the current minute.
if i run a report for this week - I get 100% indeterminate.
Since this has a good 4 days of overlapping time - I do not understand why one
report tells me 100% up and the other 100% indeterminate
Any ideas?
note - this behavior is for some services. other services just give
indeterminate for all report ranges
note - other report periods' behavior:
state = indeterminate:
last 24 hours
today
yesterday
this week
last 7 days
state = good
last week
this month
last month
this year
(last year - no data available)

While this may be true, you get a different error in that case, which is
not what Myke is seeing:

List,
Im new to NAGIOS, but I have looked through the docs and Im still at a loss. I have NAGIOS up and running and its great. However, I have 3 applications that run and I would like to be notified if they crash. Is there a way to monitor the apps by CMD name and not PID? The reason for this is they stop and restart pirodically so the PID changes.
Thanks

You don't have to edit any CGI's. It's a form drop-down when you go
through the step for creating an availability or trend report. First
you choose host or service, then which host or service to report on,
then the page that asks what time period, etc. On that page, there is
a drop-down form box for First Assumed State. Set that to Host OK, then
create the report.

Al,
If you try to get a report for more days than you have data you will
always get an undetermined status.
For instance:
If you have had a machine monitored by Nagios for 23 days, and you go to
grab a 31 day report... you *will* get an undetermined percentage,
because Nagios doesn't have the data for all 31 days for that host, and
it doesn't know what its state was.

I'd write your own plugin that does a ps and looks for the CMD name. I
wrote something similar looking for procs by the proc owner, knowing how
many there should be, and if I get more or less than that number, return

You're probably best off writing your own shell script that can determine if
a process is running by name (using ps, grep, awk, etc). Consult the man
pages for those programs for more information.
If you want to take it to the next level, you can use the NET-SNMP agent to
see how many hosts are running on any local or remote machine via SNMP
(you'll need to configure the agent for each specific process) which is
fairly easy to do. We use this very heavily here.

It would be fairly simple to write a plugin to do this. I don't think
one currently exists in the plugins package... at least, there doesn't
appear to be one in my libexec directory.
Do you happen to know any perl?
All you really have to do is call something like... ps a | grep
path_to_process from a script and then check the returned data to see
if your process is in the list.
If it is, then you return an OK status, otherwise you return Critical
(or even Warning).

You can also set this parameter in your cgi.cfg file.
You can tell it that the first assumed state is up, and then you don't
have to much with the drop-down box every time you create a report.

Is it possible that the fping plugin is just returning incorrect
information to Nagios?
That's what it seems like, but it's hard to say.
You might want to look at the source for the plugin, and see if you can
figure out what it's doing.

There's actually another way... If your apps can run as non-trusted
separately created users with their own UID, then it should be trivially
easy to do the equivalent of '/usr/bin/ps -f -u ' on whatever
OS you are on. The syntax I've listed is for Solaris.

List,
Im new to NAGIOS, but I have looked through the docs and Im still at a
loss. I have NAGIOS up and running and its great. However, I have 3
applications that run and I would like to be notified if they crash. Is
there a way to monitor the apps by CMD name and not PID? The reason for
this is they stop and restart pirodically so the PID changes.

Hmmm... I'm going to have to see if I get the same thing. I got the
host part down, and it makes sense. I tried to run service trends on
telnet (since the ops report I mentioned earlier is based on whether the
users can log in or not), and didn't notice any "irregularities" beyond
my network "blinking" every now and again.

Ok - Thanks to Al's question and Russell's anwer - I understand the host
availability report now.
But what about services? (Either I have really missed something, or I
have a
problem)
If I run a report against services I monitor w/ as follows - I get
different
results based on time periods:
Assume intitial states = yes
assume state retention = yes
first assumed state = unspecified
backtracked archives 4
zoom factor 4
if I run a report for this month - I get what i expect - near 100% up -
for all
dates - up to the current minute.
if i run a report for this week - I get 100% indeterminate.
Since this has a good 4 days of overlapping time - I do not understand
why one
report tells me 100% up and the other 100% indeterminate
Any ideas?
note - this behavior is for some services. other services just give
indeterminate for all report ranges
note - other report periods' behavior:
state = indeterminate:
last 24 hours
today
yesterday
this week
last 7 days
state = good
last week
this month
last month
this year
(last year - no data available)

Hmm. I suppose you're correct, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to
make. It's much cheaper for me to buy more ram than to spend a lot of
time managing SNMP communities in my Nagios config.
It might be nice to have host/hostgroup user variables that could be
used for SNMP or any other similar information.
define host {
...
user_var1 public
}

I used to do that. Now (as of yesterday) I have a patch for nagios to
do what I asked about. It's attached and has been tested against b4 and
b5. It adds "snmp_community" to the host definitions and the
"$SNMPCOMMUNITY$" macro for use in the command or service definitions.
define host {
...
snmp_community public
}
define command {
...
command_line snmp_monitor_process.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
$SNMPCOMMUNITY$ -e process_name
}

Following is the command that i used to call fping from the plugin.

Can you run the fping from the CL and report the result and the result of
"echo $?"
also run check_fping in verbose mode to see what the exact call is.

This is as follows:
./check_fping deadhost -v
/usr/bin/fping -b 56 -c 1 deadhost
deadhost : xmt/rcv/%loss = 1/0/100%
FPING OK - deadhost (loss=100.000000%, rta=0.000000 ms)
As you can see it continues to report the state as being 'OK'.

Subject: logfile scrubbing
Message-ID: <1650916689.1029442980406.JavaMail.root@monkey>
I've been fiddling with the logfile scrubbers, trying to get them to work properly. No joy.
First I was checking out check_log, but out of the box (at least on Red Hat 7.3) it doesn't work. I ended up munging the script, just to get it to work from the command line. From Nagios, it just didn't seem to work.
I checked out check_log2.pl (under contrib), seeing as how it uses seek/tell, instead of copying over entire logfiles. That works fine from the command line, but again, once I stuff it into Nagios, I get output like:
Aug 14 21:47:14 myhost nagios: Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'Messages Scrubber #1' on host 'webmonk' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exists.
I went back, over and over again, and I swear I have the definitions set up right. Here's the relevant snippet from checkcommands.cfg:
define command{
command_name check_local_log2
command_line $USER1$/check_log2 -l $ARG1$ -s $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
}
and here's the relevant bit from services.cfg:
define service{
use icmp
host_name myhost
service_description Messages Scrubber #1
contact_groups linux-admins
max_check_attempts 1
check_command check_local_log2!/var/log/messages!/tmp/check_log.messages-errors.seek!error
}
I set it to /tmp/check_log.messages-error.seek, since I wasn't certain where it would be writing if I specified a relative pathname. (That's one part of the documentation which seems to be vague/lacking.)
Suggestions on how to debug this?

Subject: setting up NSCA
Message-ID: <1574419793.1029443552973.JavaMail.root@monkey>
I've been puzzling over how to properly set up NSCA. I've successfully installed the server on the Nagios host, that part was straightforward.
The part which is lacking clarity is the send_nsca piece. I realize it needs to be installed on a client host (compiled for that architecture). Setting up the config file seems clear. It would also seem to be a simple matter of catting a file and piping it into send_nsca (assuming it's formatted as required. But beyond this, this is where it seems to lapse into obscurity.
I recall that the plugins need to be installed on the client as well (or whatever you feel like running, so long as you get the output and return codes that you need). So I'm guessing you cobble a script (which you kick off every 5 minutes from cron) to run each plugin with the parameters as desired, catch the return codes, stuff them into a temporary file, then pump the tempfile into send_nsca...?
Am I on track here? Am I missing anything?

I've got the main program up and running great. The only thing NOT working

If my Linux box is running smtp, and I have another mail server behind the

and how do I send the mail? I think that's my problem.
Any quirks here I should be aware of or should it just work, no one has had

Thank in advance....

So none of my *.cfg files converted well using the convertcfg util. No
problem just go through the original hosts.cfg file and put hyphen's in for
spaces and run convertcfg util again. Worked really that time...
But here's the kicker...all of my Log files have the old Hostnames,
effectively I lose all of my old logs until I can parse through it with a
script and fix the name. (and I thought I was going to get away with no
scripting)
Does anybody have a script already built to find and replace?
Chris.

All,
I am running nagios 1.0b4 on a Linux RH 7.3 intel box
I have 200 hosts and about 300 services
when I check the processes running on the box with ps -fe | grep nagios
I notice that there are 187 nagios processes. Is that normal? or did I hose
up something?
Thanks,
DR

This is as follows:

FPING OK - deadhost (loss=100.000000%, rta=0.000000 ms)

This is more of a Sendmail and design question. Can you successfully send e-mail from the command line, like this:
$ echo "hello" | mail wilcoxc at troycorp.com
and, more importantly, do you receive it correctly?
If it turns out that you can't even get mail out onto the network, you could have a whole bunch of Sendmail fun ahead of you. :)
If, OTOH, mail's being delivered properly, and you have your e-mail address set up properly in contacts.cfg, then all that remains is whether you have contactgoups.cfg and services.cfg set up properly.

I've got the main program up and running great. The only thing NOT working is email notification.
If my Linux box is running smtp, and I have another mail server behind the firewall that is also running smtp (on the same network physically), where and how do I send the mail? I think that's my problem.
Any quirks here I should be aware of or should it just work, no one has had issues here.....
Thank in advance....

List,
Is there any componet in Nagios that COULD cause your system to loose one of your ETH devices? Since I have installed Nagios, I runs great, but I keep loosing ETH0. I have to do a ifup on that device to bring it back. Today, I had to reboot to bring it back. When Im not using the Nagios, the system runs fine. Im using the INIT script that get created with you do a make install-init.
I would like to continue using the product, but I cant have my server down. Any help or insight would be great.
Thanks.

Just do search and replace in the nsca source tree for 'u_int32_t' and
replace with 'uint32_t'. That should do the trick. We had run into a
similar problem as well when we were still thinking of using nsca...

That's a pretty general question, Chris. You might provide a little
more detail, like which box runs Nagios, what type and version of
operating systems are running on the machines, what email address you
want to receive notifications, etc.
Obviously, if you can't send mail from your Nagios box to the address
you want to receive the notifications, then your problem isn't Nagios.
If you need help with your mail systems, and you aren't sure how to do
anything and/or don't have time to figure it out, you might look into
hiring a consultant.

What make and model of NICs are they? Are they the same?
Have you tried swapping the flaky one with a known good one?
Do you have them statically set for duplex and speed, or auto-negotiate?

It's actually pretty easy to go the other way. Pull data from Nagios
and put it into RRD. Then you can you use whatever front-end you want.

Well, One is a 3com 100/10 set on 100 and the other is an older NE2000 compat set on 10. I havent swopped them out as of yet, but I could certianly try that. They were working fine, however, we all know how computers are. Let me try that before I mess with any software.
Thanks for the responce.

Subject: setting up NSCA
Message-ID: <20020816014247.64063.qmail@web10403.mail.yahoo.com>
assuming, of course, you do mean nsca and not nrpe...
nsca is like setting up a whole 'nother nagios instance, with some dummy notifications, dummy hostgroups, and other dummy settings, but with REAL checks, and piping all of that to your original nagios instance. i basically read and copied the scripts from the "distributed monitoring" section of the docs... http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html
just in case it's not clearer... nsca is when you want to have little "islands" of nagios running in different places, and reporting back to a "main" nagios instance... if you just want to run checks on remote systems, and gather the data, then you probably want to run nrpe... that's more of an "indirect check" http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/indirectchecks.html
fred
I've been puzzling over how to properly set up NSCA. I've successfully
installed the server on the Nagios host, that part was straightforward.
The part which is lacking clarity is the send_nsca piece. I realize it needs
to be installed on a client host (compiled for that architecture). Setting up
the config file seems clear. It would also seem to be a simple matter of
catting a file and piping it into send_nsca (assuming it's formatted as required.
But beyond this, this is where it seems to lapse into obscurity.
I recall that the plugins need to be installed on the client as well (or
whatever you feel like running, so long as you get the output and return codes that
you need). So I'm guessing you cobble a script (which you kick off every 5
minutes from cron) to run each plugin with the parameters as desired, catch the
return codes, stuff them into a temporary file, then pump the tempfile into
send_nsca...?
Am I on track here? Am I missing anything?

That's a good idea. In general, I start with the physical layer first
when troubleshooting network issues. Verify the cabling and NICs are
good and work with other systems without problems.
Then, check the data-link layer, such as hubs or switches, etc. Are the
Ethernet frames getting through?
Next, the network and transport layers. Routers, firewalls, host OSes.

I'm not sure what you mean...
If you're already running Nagios, and you want to upgrade, you should
be able to just do it.
Nagios won't erase configs that you've added to it's directories...
that would royally suck!
It *might* replace files that you've edited that it relies on though.
What files are you specifically worried about?
I upgrade every time a new release comes out without moving anything.
I just do:
./configure --with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include
--with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib
make all
make install
make install-html
And life goes on.
If you had edited.... say, side.html in html directory
(/usr/local/nagios/share/ by default) then I can see it replacing your
edited share.html with a new version, but I shouldn't replace any files
you've added to the Nagios directories.
Hope that helps.

I had asked for clarification on this when the last request was made - did

If you have a patch that parses the redirect string and prepends the slash

My first question would be what NIC are you using? It's possible that
your Linux driver gets confused under a constant or heavy load, and
that's what's causing your eth0 to disappear.
Something like that might make it seem to be Nagios' fault, but I
haven't heard of this problem with anyone else, so I doubt it's
Nagios... if it was a Nagios specific thing I think a lot more people
would have had an issue by now.
Is your driver compiled-in to the kernel, or is it a module?
You might want to check around and see if there's a newer driver
available.

I have changed out my NIC and so far, the system is working better... So hopefully that is a good sign. That older NE2000 NIC was placed in another machine running XP and is showing signs of fatigue. Im betting that the issue was with the older NIC.
Well see tommorow. Last 2 days, the server would loose the NIC around 2 to 2:30 AM.
Thanks again for the responce :)

Hi Nagios users
I have been trying to configure service dependencies on nagios but couldnt
understand how they r working.
In my case there r 3 hosts

I have defined host dependencies for them in which mindsw.com is
dependent on
hathway and hathway is dependent on scotty.
I am pasting the dependencies file.

I have some basic questions about it.

It should mean that when hathway is down , nagios should not even check
for the
services of mindsw.com, but we have to define the service dependencies
also, Why?
Even in service dependencies, i have defined that PING of mindsw.com is
dependent on PING of hathway and all the services of mindsw.com are
dependent on PING of mindsw.com. Even then, when hathway is down,
Should nagios ideally show the status of dependent services to be unknown
or critical when the service on which its dependent upon is down??

Subject: quoting-problem in printf
Message-ID:
Hello!
I have got a "%" sign in my plugin-output. When Nagios executes the
/usr/bin/printf command-line in 'notify-by-email' (which is locatet in
commands.cfg), then Nagios takes "%" as a quoting-sign and abortes printing
the text behind.
f.e.
the mail-Output is:
WARNING -total: 800 MB -used: 672MB (84
but it should be:
WARNING -total: 800 MB -used: 672MB (84%) -free: 128 MB
I was trying to supress the special meaning of % by quoting it in my plugin
with ' and " , but nothing helped.
The only thing that solves that problem, is to quote it with another %- sign
in front: ....(84%%).. -then is the mail-Output ok but i have this double
%-Sign in Nagios-Output.
Knows someone how to solve this problem?
thanks in advance
Uwe

Help!
How do I parse the configuration file to get it running? Do I run the main
configuration script (perl)? Is this script provided when I untar the nagios
software? Or do I need to master perl language and generate my own script to
run the configuration file?
>From my questions one can tell I am a newbie. Yes I am.. a very new newbie
indeed! Your answers will be much appreciated! Sorry for the number of silly
questions!

Good morning,
Normally the escape character is "\". If that doesn't work replace

Nope, errors still exist.
But you bring up a good question: Why *not* NSCA?
One thing that's been hammered into me on www.infrastructures.org: Have the clients contact the central server, not the other way around.
In the case of NSCA, I own Nagios and root on the monitoring server. It doesn't matter if someone merely grants me non-root access on their host; I can (once I get NSCA to compile :P ) just install NSCA and the plugins, and off I go.
In the case of NRPE, I'm guessing one needs root privs...? I can't say that I've taken a look at this tarball, so don't know if it requires a privileged port. (I realize that a privileged port isn't required for NSCA.) I'm also wondering about things like: scalability on the monitoring server, and (lack of) crypto/authentication on the client.
Thoughts?

Make sure that you have the setuid bit set, and owner set to root:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 35192 Apr 18 16:40 /bin/ping

DOH! I missed changing common/common.h :P
Got it to build now....
I'd still be interested in hearing a discussion of the relative merits of NSCA vs. NRPE, though. :)

My file has exactly the same security, size and date permissions as yours.
Sorry !!!
Here is my Nagios command if that has anything to do with it !
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w 8000,85% -c 10000,90%
}
