Here is what I have done: 1) gd, png, and jpeg are all already installed on the system. 2) used default config and makes and did not get a statusmap.cgi 3) did a"make clean" (this by the way, deletes config.cache) and then did a new ./configure using these options: --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/lib/include and then all the makes... still no joy. 4) cleaned up and tried again... even less joy...

I ran truss on the Nagios process and found that qpage was starting, and being killed about the time it starts dialing. I ran the command manually and it took about 45 seconds to complete. So I suspect Nagios is timing out on the notification and killing the job. I have set the notification_timeout to 120 and told Nagios to re-read the cfg file with a kill -1. Nagios still killed the qpage process in the same place so I am trying with Nagios shutdown and starting manually. If this doesn't work, is there another place to set notification timeouts?

But the auto load of plugins is a Netscape thing, it just means that it couldnt translate the incoming data as a valid part of the Browser. There are two ways to handle this. Though to tell you I would have to kill you!! just kidding, first it might help if you tell us what version you are using. then we can continue a little further in determining where to go to find the Switch you need to deal with, But in my browser it is located under applications, Also, the exact word for word message that the "download plugin" prompt gives you will indicate what file extension it couldn't find a way of displaying, so that would be extremely helpful. with those things, im sure someone can help you maybe even me!!

Yes you can do this! And use only 1 Nagios! Create 2 separate hostgroups and assign them as contacts/Admins/whatever for those 2 separate hostgroups. And you have to give them 2 separate/distinct login names in the Apache htpasswd files or however you lock down the server directories/files. In a nutshell: 1. Create users in the Apache control/passwd file called Admin1 and Admin2 (however you do this in your case) 2. Create these users in contacts.cfg for each hostgroup you wish to separate. Call them Admin1 and Admin2 also 2. Create a group for each of them in contactgroups.cfg and place them and you as members in that group. Call them Admin1-Group and Admin2-Group But do not place either of them in the others group. 3. In the services.cfg file - separate the 2 groups using the contact_groups option. For Admin1-Server make the contact Admin1-Group For Admin2-Server make the contact Admin2-Group I restarted Nagios - but may not have to... Login as Admin1 and see what you see. Shut down your browser and login as Admin2 and see what you can see. Should be limited to the servers/services in their group! This works to make them only see the hosts assigned to their group IF: 1. The user name in Nagios matches the username used by Apache to authenticate them. 2. The groups are separated totally from each other. They cannot be on any other group or list but the one you want them to view. We do not use literal .htpasswd files, but I am sure the concept is the same. We use the equivalent files right in the httpd.conf to protect all the Nagios directories. And only one file, actually - with many names in it. Hope this does it for you! JPP Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] wrote: > I think you're taking the right approach for what you're trying to do.

Here, in detail are the steps I followed to get nagios installed, with all of the neat graphic cgi's, on Redhat 8.0. There are just a few subtle details. Installation (on RedHat 8.0): Nagios requires the following: gd from http://www.boutell.com/gd libjpeg (RH CD #1) and libjpeg-devel (RH CD #2) libpng (RH CD #1) and libpng-devel (RH CD #2) Unpack gd with the following command: tar -xzvf gd.2.0.8.tar.gz Boutell's version of gd will update the RedHat version by using the following configure invocation from the directory in which gd was unpacked: ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install Prior to attempting to build the nagios distribution, /etc/ld.so.conf needs to be edited to include the path to gd (and libjpeg and libpng) by adding the line: /usr/lib then you must run the following command: ldconfig Now you are ready to configure and make nagios. Nagios is expanded by running the command: tar -xzvf nagios-1.0.tar.gz The configure invocation must include options for the path to your gd lib and gd includes. Running from the directory in which nagios was expanded: ./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib \ --with-gd-inc=/usr/include Then execute the following commands in turn (note, you will see lots of warning messages as a result of the specified paths in the configure command. This is not a problem).: make all make install make install-init make install-commandmode make install-config Now you are ready to edit all of the necessary nagios config files which are located in /usr/local/nagios/etc. Refer to the excellent documentation that comes with nagios. (Sit and read the doc, especially the tips and tricks, before editing any files and you will find it much easier...)

Actually, Nagios has agents (NRPE, NCSA, NSClient) for all those platforms that are arguably easier to use than most of the SNMP-based systems I've seen. I recommend that you tunnel the various protocols through stunnel (SSL TCP tunnels), especially NRPE and NSClient. Those two do not encrypt their authentication data. If you must be able to do something based on SNMP traps, then you might have quite a bit of work ahead of you. They aren't integrated into Nagios (as is discussed in the docs), and probably never will be for various reasons. Nagios is based on polling. > I'm in need of a > solution that supports tiering -- I need an external server to monitor > exernal devices and an internal server to monitor internal devices, with > the external server pumping its data to the internal server, making the > internal server the central/master server. That's certainly possible with Nagios, however, is this absolutely required? There's no way for the internal system to connect to the external devices? The way I'd implement that, assuming you can't do it all from one box, is have the secondary system run the Nagios daemon (but not the CGI programs), and pass the data back with NSCA, MySQL, or scp it and parse the contents into the external command pipe. You'd have to keep the configurations on each system in sync, but not check external devices from the internal device, and vice-versa. It could be a messy situation. > > I first looked an OpenNMS, but it doesn't have tier support yet.

Nagios (and it's specialized agents) can collect resource statistics, just like with SNMP. Disk, memory and processor utilization are all available. Traps really aren't necessary, since collection is polled regularly. However, Nagios is really built to be a polling/alerting system. There's very little collection or visualization of statistical information. For a solution to that, I'd recommend Cacti, Cricket or MRTG, in that order. Integration with Nagios is possible. > > So, I'm wondering what those who have used Nagios think of its > appropriateness (or lack thereof) for what I'm trying to accomplish. > From the documentation I've read so far, it appears to me that tiered > host resource monitoring is possible with the NRPE daemon running on > each monitored host.

You should also have a look at 1 (either the copy in the docs that comes with Nagios/Netsaint) or http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/int-snmptrap.html This outlines the SNMP trap architecture for Nagios/Netsaint. This seems to me to be tiered in the sense that you can have any number of trap collectors that use NCSA to send the decoded trap to a NCSA daemon on a Nagios manager that submits them to Nagios as a passive service check result. (scalability is limited only by the capacity of the Nagios manager to read passive service check results from the command queue. Alternatively, Nagios supports multiple tiers of managers with distributed monitoring. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html ) 2 There is also a third party piece of software called SNMPTT by Alex Burger on SourceForge. SNMPTT eliminates or substantially reduces the maintenance cost of supporting traps compared with the approach above by replacing the trap handler(s) by SNMPTT - something that is a lot easier to live with than a whole bunch of trap handlers. SNMPTT is known to work with Netsaint and therefore Nagios. You can see some of Mr Burgers remarks about using it with Netsaint in the Netsaint users archive (this month). > So, I'm wondering what those who have used Nagios think of its > appropriateness (or lack thereof) for what I'm trying to accomplish. > From the documentation I've read so far, it appears to me that tiered > host resource monitoring is possible with the NRPE daemon running on > each monitored host.

Since NRPE is a means of having a service check plugin run on another host (returning the results to the central manager) it seems less suitable to your situation - if it's traps you want - than NCSA. I would be very suprised if NRPE __doesn't__ run on FreeBSD. In my experience Nagios only uses standard C or system call functions. I have only used Nagios with a handful of traps in a medium size network (and on FreeBSD also) but it seems quite adequate and able to scale. > Any help/advice on this will be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks, > Terry > > HTH, Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

It all worked well and when I returned from holiday it was not working. What I found out was it was a combination of the networking guys playing with the firewall guys and shutting ports down If you know your box configurations have not changed, and you know nobody has removed the nrpe configs on your remote boxes then id be looking in the network infrastructure change logs to see whats changed whilst you were away But then again I may be barking up the completely wrong tree Cheers Tom Welsh squareBOX technologies twelsh at square-box.com -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of andrew.slater at netstrategy.net Sent: 03 December 2002 06:07 To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Yet another NRPE issue...

Very interesting... I did't catch it at first. I made some tests with different values for warning and/or critical thresholds... Very stange, I only have WARNING status returning from these ones. To clarify a bit I made tests with only one OID (The 1 min CPU load), with same result: WARNING Always returns. By reading check_snmp --help I saw that I can use absolute values (like -w '0:30') if colons are used. Ranges are inclusive and are indicated with colons. When specified as 'min:max' a STATE_OK will be returned if the result is within the indicated range or is equal to the upper or lower bound. A non-OK state will be returned if the result is outside the specified range. Then....some tests again.... Eg (with the 1 min CPU load OID): ./check_snmp -v -t 10 -H 192.168.1.1 -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0 -C publicro -w '50:69' -c'70:99' enterprises.9.2.1.57.0 = 4 SNMP WARNING - *4* That's ok... 4% is not in the range 50:69... Then it's a "non-OK" result, thus the WARNING for the -w switch. ./check_snmp -v -t 10 -H 192.168.1.1 -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0 -C publicro -w '1:9' -c'10:99' enterprises.9.2.1.57.0 = 7 SNMP WARNING - *7* 7% is within the range 1:9...

'Upcoming' sounds wonderful ( http://www.nagios.org/upcoming.php ) For example, the quoted argument patch for embedded Perl has already been committed to Nagios. It won't be for Netsaint ( http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=90 ) 1 Fine to have Netsaint and Nagios on the same box subject to the box tolerating the load of two (2) Netsaint processes (in my _limited_ experience Nagios seems to have a load average of 5-10% less than Netsaint) 2 However, . you may have non standard plugins with embedded paths in them (Tsk tsk) - for storing state information etc . you may do checks with Netsaint by ssh so you'll have to add a nagios user to those boxes you want to check by ssh and make sure that the nagios user home directory has the same .ssh as the Netsaint user . you probably want to adopt the new template configuration method (although you probably can run Nagios - if you configure it appropriately - to use your Netsaint stuff). You may find http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=89 useful (I converted semi automatically by other means. It took me far too long so this may be better. However, it's worth being aware of what the templates offer at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html . Some things, even at an early stage, are obviously better eg - rescheduling a check (instead of force an immediate check) is a means of having Nagios run a check when you want it to run. This is handy for RRD updates that expect data to arrive at the DS update interval (otherwise the numbers look funny because the DS is updated with interpolated values). - the availability CGI looks better (to me) - the extinfo CGI looks better (to me). Having the summary availability info was not actually useful (more of a liability if you are reporting across some interval, because you would have to reset the status.log to reset the stats) . If it's not obvious, you can change the Alias and ScriptAlias directives in Apache to reduce the impact on Netsaint bookmarks (most of my colleagues are still browsing http://some_host/netsaint/ after adding ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/netsaint/ "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/" Alias /netsaint/ "/usr/local/nagios/share/" ). To sum up, I made the change in about a day for a small site with ~200 hosts and ~325 checks. > Kind regards, > Tom > Enjoy.

Basically you have to create separate contacts/contactgroups. E.g., define contact{ contact_name jcarro10 alias Jim Carroll host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_options d,r service_notification_options c,w,r host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email service_notification_commands notify-by-email email jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com } define contact{ contact_name pager-devunix alias DEVUNIX on-call pager host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_options d,r service_notification_options c,r host_notification_commands host-notify-by-epager service_notification_commands notify-by-epager pager pager-devunix } and then the "pager-devunix" on the "pager" definition line is defined in /etc/aliases, thusly: pager-devunix: :include:/home/pager/oncall/DEVUNIX which in turn resolves to the actual e-mail address for the pager. (I have a script which modifies the DEVUNIX file through a simple menu.) The virtual pager info was more than you bargained for, but hopefully you can see how I split out the e-mails from the pages. jc -----Original Message----- From: Matthieu Parisot [mailto:mat at avedya.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 8:49 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Notifications Hi list, I'm using nagios-1.0b6, and I wonder if there is a way to associate service or host status to differents contact targets; For exemple, I would like to be notified by mail if the service is WARNING, UNKNOWN or CRITICAL, and by SMS only if it's critical...

I thought you wanted it for reasons of security. I didn't realize you wanted to partition purely by function. That being the case, I would put a separate instance of Nagios on a separate host, and have each of your clients connect to their own. That way, you effectively 'firewall' misconfigurations to a single client, and not both. If you like, you could configure a separate instance of Nagios on each of these 2 hosts to be the failover instance for the other host, ie, 2 instances each on host A and host B, and instance A2 would be the failover for B1, and B2 would be the failover for A1. This all assumes that you're running on Linux and commodity hardware. If you're running on, say, Solaris and a substantially beefy/expensive piece of hardware, then I'd stick with separate instances. (You may still want to define hosts/services in both instances which are common to both clients, eg, routers.) jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Dushyanth Harinath [mailto:dushy at symonds.net] > Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 10:33 PM > To: nagios > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Restrict users to view certain > hostgroups in > c gi's > > > Hi , > > * wrote from a remote bunker : > > I think you're taking the right approach for what you're > trying to do.

Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F246B@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> A few comments here. First, OpenNMS was recently discussed on this list. The general hubbub is that it is a resource hog. (I've never touched it, so take this comment for what it's worth.) Seems you'll need to spend some serious bucks on your OpenNMS server if you want to even put it up for consideration. Second, Nagios rocks. It really does. That's the 'warm fuzzy' comment which I'm sure many others on this list will embrace. Basically, any test that you can run from a command line can be incorporated into Nagios. Already there are many plugins which have been crafted to do some very popular tasks. On tiering: I'm not exactly clear on your intent, but you can run two Nagios servers, and have the results of one cascade over to the other with the assistance of NSCA. Thus, the external server will display only what it's collected, and the internal server will display what it's collected, as well as what the external server as sent over to it. On down/up vs. SNMP: Nagios provides support for SNMP via plugins (most notably check_snmp). If you want to handle traps, there are a couple of approaches (TMTOWTDI in Perl-speak); one way would be to be running snmptrapd on your Nagios server, and have a cronjob kick off every minute to scrub the logfile, reformat the trap and stuff it into nagios.cmd (FIFO). Another way would be to have the event get redirected via NSCA to the Nagios host. Yes, Nagios has down/up checks, such as, "is something listening on port 80 on host fizzgig or not". But some of the plugins relate to local host metrics, such as free disk space, number of processes (with specialized options, such as checking for zombies), free swap, etc. In these cases, you would more likely want to configure for green/yellow/red alerts (OK/Warning/Critical in Nagios). If you want to write your own script, there are many examples (plugins) to follow. To get the green/yellow/red response in Nagios, you would have your script return code 0, 1 or 2 accordingly. One point which can be confusing to Nagios newbies, is that things like check_disk won't work on a remote host, unless you install/execute it on the remote host. But how to get the results to Nagios? Ah, that's where NRPE (or NSCA, or...) come in. As someone else has pointed out, if you wish to chart trends, you'll want to take a look at something like cacti (which I hope to try in the near future). Another contributor has created APAN (which also uses RRDTool). I hope this gives you the needed food for thought. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Baranski [mailto:terry at eurocompton.net] > Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 9:00 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] Distributed SNMP monitoring. > > > Hello. > > Hoping I can get some thoughts on this from those experienced with > Nagios. > > I'm looking to deploy a network monitoring solution primarily > to monitor > host resources such as disk space, processor usage, and so forth via > SNMP, and also to receive SNMP traps and notify accordingly. > The hosts > are Open/FreeBSD, Solaris, Linux, and Windows.

Message-ID: <20021203162307.B702@shell.core.com> Greetings, I have a rather complex set of requirements/specs for configuring contactgroups for given hostgroups in Nagios. What i'd like to see is this: A contactgroup configuration that does not require/allow email notifications to be sent to members of that group, but still allows members to log into the web interface and view the particular hostgroups those members need access to. That doesn't mean I don't want notifications sent out for a given hostgroup, just for a specific contactgroup. I'd prefer not to setup each user individually to have access to the web interface through cgi.cf, as that can (and probably will) become a nightmare as far as management goes.

Basically you have to create separate contacts/contactgroups. E.g., define contact{ contact_name jcarro10 alias Jim Carroll host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_options d,r service_notification_options c,w,r host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email service_notification_commands notify-by-email email jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com } define contact{ contact_name pager-devunix alias DEVUNIX on-call pager host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_options d,r service_notification_options c,r host_notification_commands host-notify-by-epager service_notification_commands notify-by-epager pager pager-devunix } and then the "pager-devunix" on the "pager" definition line is defined in /etc/aliases, thusly: pager-devunix: :include:/home/pager/oncall/DEVUNIX which in turn resolves to the actual e-mail address for the pager. (I have a script which modifies the DEVUNIX file through a simple menu.) The virtual pager info was more than you bargained for, but hopefully you can see how I split out the e-mails from the pages. jc -----Original Message----- From: Matthieu Parisot [mailto:mat at avedya.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 8:49 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Notifications Hi list, I'm using nagios-1.0b6, and I wonder if there is a way to associate service or host status to differents contact targets; For exemple, I would like to be notified by mail if the service is WARNING, UNKNOWN or CRITICAL, and by SMS only if it's critical... If I write a patch to nagios to do that, will it have a chance to be integrated?

RH8.0 Message-ID: <3DED4FE0.60006@dublerfamily.com> Logos/images appear on pop-up windows but not on statusmap. More precisely: bringing up the statusmap, all of the "?" marks are gone, not just the one on the host named radio. Also, when I mouse over the host named radio, the window that pops up shows the "antenna" logo. And, there is a green circle with two cross lines (like a rifle sight) over the host "radio" (bigger than the box that's also there). (There is just a box, the host name, and "Up" at all of the other hosts. Why did I loose the question marks? Why is there no logo shown for the host radio on the statusmap display (level 5, circular marked-up). Why is this so hard...? (by the way, I have patched and reinstalled php to support gd, so pngtogd now works and I used a .gd file for my logo image, but that did not help) Here is exactly what I did: I added the following to /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg I then set-up the following hostextinfo.cfg file ## Extended Information Configuration File # # added 12/2/02 by PD define hostextinfo{ host_name radio icon_image antenna.png icon_image_alt AntennaImage statusmap_image antenna.gd } I left all of the other hosts alone. (this is my wireless link, of course) For what it's worth, this file is owned by and grouped to nagios: -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 211 Dec 2 17:21 hostextinfo.cfg restarted nagios: service nagios restart and for good measure, cleared the caches on my Mozilla 1.0.1 which is running locally on my nagios machine. All of my logos files are in the /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos directory. They all have clean ownership, grouping and permissions: eg -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 1240 Dec 2 14:36 antenna.png Hint: pngtogd generates the following error: No PNG library support available.

Noting your last paragraph: It seems to me to be a common issue - i.e integrating time-series data/trending (snmp) info with "point" info & threshold detection that nagios provides. Superficially it's easy - just do cool things with side menu..... I originally used NRG because it auto-conf'ed everything, so was easy to use. The downside is it was not so flexible. So, we moved over to Cricket+Smokeping. Seems all good (so far). But anyway, on to my point: It's wouldn't surprise me that loadsa people want to do the same Nagios+RRD&Front-End combo (but with no fries). - APAN seems pretty good but when one has a plethora of RRD front-ends out there - why would you create another one -especially when people have an investment in the rrd stored data of the existing system? (no offense fredrik). - IMHO Cacti seems to be overkill. But I could be wrong. So, can I see a show of hands as to what people's preferences are for an RRD "partner tool" for Nagios? Maybe we could all work together on making integration between the two really slick... Architecturally my preference is to let the RRD tools do the data acquisition, and let nagios pull from the (probable) local RRD file....What are people's thoughts on that? Ethan, Subhendu etc - Do you see the extension of Nagios from a monitoring/reporting tool to that plus performance analysis as a viable future development path? jamie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]" To: "'Terry Baranski'" ; Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 7:21 AM Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Distributed SNMP monitoring. > A few comments here. > > First, OpenNMS was recently discussed on this list.

The things to decide are whether to build a new RRD interface or to use an existing on - and what is the primary focus and the secondary result. I like Cricket, but Cricket is a resource hog as well for large configurations. The sub-trees mechanism allows better system load management, but you are still launching perl from cron. I prefer Nagios' primary focus on fault detection and a secondary result of historical data gathering. If Nagios builds RRD data support: The RRD data storage layout is also an issue to be discussed. - Do we lay out the data in a flat directory (probably not for scaling) or create some hierarchy of directory based on host/parent relationship If integrating: Decide on which existing front-end, Figure out if we can just use the grapher functionality there and have the raw data fed from the nagios plugins..

Message-ID: <9EA0F1554816EB499A4B1136B80E8DE2780413@storevis.datavis.se> OK, I have to defend APAN..;-) I know that Apan lacks a tool for RRD-file creatin (my fault). But on the other hand, Apan is fully integrated in Nagios. And, if you switch from another tool that uses RRD's, you can reuse your existing RRD-files and let Apan put data in them instead and you will be able to see your history in Nagios... /FredrikW -----Original Message----- From: Jamie [mailto:jamie.baddeley at bclnz.net] Sent: Wed 04-Dec-02 06:46 To: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]; 'Terry Baranski'; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed SNMP monitoring. All great comments Jim (as always). Noting your last paragraph: It seems to me to be a common issue - i.e integrating time-series data/trending (snmp) info with "point" info & threshold detection that nagios provides. Superficially it's easy - just do cool things with side menu..... I originally used NRG because it auto-conf'ed everything, so was easy to use. The downside is it was not so flexible. So, we moved over to Cricket+Smokeping. Seems all good (so far). But anyway, on to my point: It's wouldn't surprise me that loadsa people want to do the same Nagios+RRD&Front-End combo (but with no fries). - APAN seems pretty good but when one has a plethora of RRD front-ends out there - why would you create another one -especially when people have an investment in the rrd stored data of the existing system? (no offense fredrik). - IMHO Cacti seems to be overkill. But I could be wrong. So, can I see a show of hands as to what people's preferences are for an RRD "partner tool" for Nagios? Maybe we could all work together on making integration between the two really slick... Architecturally my preference is to let the RRD tools do the data acquisition, and let nagios pull from the (probable) local RRD file....What are people's thoughts on that? Ethan, Subhendu etc - Do you see the extension of Nagios from a monitoring/reporting tool to that plus performance analysis as a viable future development path? jamie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]" To: "'Terry Baranski'" ; Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 7:21 AM Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Distributed SNMP monitoring. > A few comments here. > > First, OpenNMS was recently discussed on this list.

Nagios is more than a different name and a slightly different look; there are definite and useful improvements. Among the Nagios plusses, + precise and unvarying scheduling. My checks that also update an RRD, once scheduled for a 5 minute boundary, continue to be run on that boundary. This was not so with Netsaint. + much faster response to command queue events such as en/disabling checks or notifications Netsaint seemed to take 30-90 seconds to responsd to requests, but Nagios takes less than 30.

I made this observation/complaint on the list a while back, back when I had nagios installed on an underpowered old PC. Nobody had a comment to make. Since then (much more recently), I've had it happen again. This was when I added quite a few NRPE checks across several Linux boxen, bumping my total service checks from 800+ to 1100+. Here are things I've done since that time: - posted a question to the list: scalability of NRPE vs. NSCA - set max_concurrent_checks to 200 - split the software disk mirror (I/O was getting hammered) - increased swap (from 50% of RAM to 200% of RAM) - set max_concurrent_checks to 0 - noticed that while NRPE checks didn't fail, system would occasionally be very slow - set max_concurrent_checks to 400 I still haven't had any response to my scalability/NRPE/NSCA query on this list. I haven't ruled out NSCA as possibly a better way to go. It just means cobbling some scripts together. If I knew for certain that the NSCA approach is an order of magnitude more scalable than using NRPE, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. BTW, the docs have suggestions for improving overall performance. The one suggestion which stuck in my mind was to get /usr/local/nagios/var onto a ramdisk. I don't think that would help in my situation, but I do have the option of putting it over on another spindle (the former mirror). Let me know if any of my observations/suggestions help you out. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Kaplan, Andrew H.

I've read the RRDtool docs a number of times, and only succeeded in bogging down my brain. My intent is to tap into the serviceperf.log file using Perl, scrub it every 5 mins (keeping track of the current position using seek/tell), then have the appropriate RRDs populated. Hmm, now that I think of it, if I could figure out a generic template (even broken down by procs, memory, disk, etc), I could have the script scrub serviceperf.log ever 5 mins, check for the existence of RRDs (and create them if absent, based on a partial string match), update the RRDs, write the tell to a file, then exit. (Of course, I'd check to see if the seek/tell value is greater than the size of the file, and if so, start from position 0, ie, the logfile was rolled over.)

Interesting approach. But one needs to ask the question of whether MySQL/Postgres could be used, since splicing Nagios into one of those at compile time is a clear option. Having said that, how would one easily generate RRDtool-like graphics, short of extracting from one database (eg, MySQL) to populate another (eg, RRDtool)? I'm all for keeping data duplication to a minimum. Taking this a step further, one could create a visual representation of any arbitrary data in MySQL, and not need to depend on the cast-in-stone-at-creation-time approach of RRDtool. jc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Visual Studio.NET comprehensive development tool, built to increase your productivity.

Message-ID: I am working on this issue for our network as we speak (type). We set out to add alerting, monitoring, and trending functionality. We chose Nagios (great product) for alerting and monitoring. We intended to use MRTG for trending and still might, though, currently I am looking at apan (and others) because it would be great to be able to leverage the Nagios web front end and the rich set of service checks it provides for data collection to be able to provide the trending or monitoring over time. I am new to this whole game so I don't know that I can add to the discussion other than to say that this is a very relevant topic for us.

All great comments Jim (as always). Noting your last paragraph: It seems to me to be a common issue - i.e integrating time-series data/trending (snmp) info with "point" info & threshold detection that nagios provides. Superficially it's easy - just do cool things with side menu..... I originally used NRG because it auto-conf'ed everything, so was easy to use. The downside is it was not so flexible. So, we moved over to Cricket+Smokeping. Seems all good (so far). But anyway, on to my point: It's wouldn't surprise me that loadsa people want to do the same Nagios+RRD&Front-End combo (but with no fries). - APAN seems pretty good but when one has a plethora of RRD front-ends out there - why would you create another one -especially when people have an investment in the rrd stored data of the existing system?

That's exactly what I did. I created entries such as the above for "every" single host that I wanted a special graphic attributed to. My graphics were located in /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos Now, the problem I experienced was that some graphic files would show up, while others did not. No rhyme or reason, I just had to experiment with graphic files until I found a collection that would actually show up. As far as your question marks going away. I would make sure unknown.gd2,png,etc. is not corrupted, and if not, delete all contents of your hostextinfo.cfg file, and remove the xedtemplate reference in your cgi.cfg file. See if it comes back at that point, and possibly start over. I tried not to make too many changes at once, and only added a few hosts at a time. Good luck. Brown. -----Original Message----- From: Pete Dubler [mailto:pete at dublerfamily.com] Sent: Wed 12/4/2002 2:37 PM To: Robertson, Brown Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] statusmap.cgi Icons Brown, Any idea why the "?" would stop appearing??? If you specify a special icon for one host or service, do you have to specify one for every host and/or service? (I think not). Thanks Robertson, Brown wrote: >I know many people have had problems with showing custom icons in the statusmap cgi configuration portion of nagios. I recently got it working, but I noticed some anomolies which might be the cause of so many people either claiming to have followed proper procedure with no result. I found that regardless of properly configuration, some icon files (png,gd2,gif,jpg) will NOT show up properly. I really just had to do it by trial and error. Some icons would show up fine, and other's would show the default "unknown.***" question mark graphic. I'm still investigating, and am not sure why this is the case, but it made me wonder if some people are repeatedly trying to use the same icon graphic with negative results, and stopping there. If so, try other graphic files and see if you are also experiencing this anomoly.

Nice operation and nice interface. We've been nothing but impressed. But we want MORE. I downloaded and installed the Cortona plugin to investigate 3d maps as the 2d one is now becoming too cluttered but I've discovered that once I set it to user supplied co-ordinates, I'm not that clever at working out the 3d co-ordinates. I sat there with a calculator and my friend Pythagorus but I can't seem to crack it. Before I move into overdrive and try to program this, has anyone else done it? I'd really appreciate some tips or better, a solution.

This ouptut is _part_ of what gets sent to you in a notification. So it's an opportunity to be informative.

Via inetd, xinetd, or as a standalone daemon. If under xinetd, it could be that you've hit some kind of limit based on your xinetd config (per_source and max_load directives come to mind) - check the man pages for xinetd.conf(5) for more info. The Nagios host may be causing excessive load (CPU/MEM/SWAP) because several child processes are waiting for the check_nrpe plugin to finish before they can exit. Sounds like the nrpe daemon might be backlogged on connections, which might point to some tweaking needed on the remote host side. On 4 Dec 2002 at 13:24, Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] wrote: > Yes!

When doing a recursive grep over the Nagios directory, the only files where this service name appears are the log files. But every now and again I get notifications telling me that this service is critical or up (it being so unreliable was one of the reasons to eliminate it in the first place). How can I get rid of this? Another thing: During a greater downtime yesterday night, I had the opportunity to test the "scheduled downtime" functionality. What I think what happened is the following: - downtime started. Lots of mails were generated, about every host and service that was configured. - I scheduled downtime for the time being. Still notifications were sent out (yes, I restarted Nagios). - I removed certain email adresses (like "half of the company" - oops) from getting notifications by setting the *_notification_periods in contacts.cfg to "none". Restarted Nagios. Still notifications were sent. - I changed the email addresses in contacts so that they didn't point any more to these email aliases. Restarted Nagios. Still notifications were sent. All in all I got the impression that Nagios does not care too much about changed configurations when getting restarted. But then I can't swear that I didn't screw it up somehow, since I was pretty much tied up in the downtime and hadn't a lot of time playing with Nagios at the same time. Is there anyone who could make sense of this, and preferably have a solution how I get rid of that phantom check? Oh, and another thought: I guess there's no possibility to tell Nagios to "condense" notifications? I mean, in a situation like yesterday it would be handy to have one notificaton for all incidents insteead of ~150 mails. Something like "upon a failure wait x minutes before sending a notification, if there's another failure include it into the notification and wait another x minutes. But don't wait longer than y(>x) minutes counted from the first failure on" would be really cool...

Didn't find anything in the contrib directory at first glance, but will take a closer look at it and at the docs, thanks for the pointer. As I don't have much of a problem with those mail masses it's not my absolute top priority, and if my manager does not like all this mail he's welcome to free me of other tasks...

Normally one would send to user at somehost.example.com or user at example.com. If that doesn't work for you, it means your MTA is mis/unconfigured. Options: 1. Configure your MTA (typically Sendmail). Many sysadmins don't care much for Sendmail, so unless you're already versed in tweaking it, you could be in for a long haul. (Quick wins: Do a "grep -i smarterhost /etc/sendmail.cf" to see where you can set the smarterhost, and set the Dj macro to how you want your sending domain to look like. Other Sendmail admins out there might cringe at this suggestion, however. ;) 2. Replace the MTA with one that you know, and configure that properly. 3. Replace the MTA with a stripped-down one that merely forwards to a smarterhost. One such option is nullmailer.

Perhaps this is a stupid question but were are the values of $ps1status and $ps2status being set ? FWIW, 'No output' is almost always some fault in the script or the script environment (the Nagios user is unlikely to have the same permissions as your shell. If in doubt, compile another copy of Nagios with the service check debug configure option (see Debugging in the Docs) and run it from the foreground (with your production config or a stripped down one) or try the mini_epn in the contrib directory. Last resort is standard script/CGI debugging techniques: have the script ouput state ad nauseum.

Problem: In my status information for http, https and cert services, I get the following: "(Return code of 137 is out of bounds) " Everything else seems to work fine, with the exception of http related commands. SMTP, SSH and other services/commands work fine. This is an upgrade from Netsaint, and all was working fine under netsaint. When I test the various http commands manually, they seem to work fine. I thought there might have been minor issues with the syntax in the old vs. new versions, but the commands seem ok (after converting to new template style). The problem seems to lie in the manner that Nagios calls the commands from within the app. Using "check_http" for "host1" as an example, here are the various elements in Nagios: from commands.cfg: # 'check_http' command definition define command{ command_name check_http command_line /apps/nagios/libexec/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ } from services.cfg: # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name host1 service_description HTTP is_volatile 0 check_period all max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups noc notification_interval 60 notification_period market notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_http!www.abc.com!/in/index.html } The command "check_http!www.abc.com!/in/index.html" works fine on Netsaint. The only difference is that the syntax of the various objects and commands has been converted to the new Nagios template style. I also added this line to startup script /etc/rc3.d/S98nagios: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/apps/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} TZ=US/Pacific export LD_LIBRARY_PATH TZ Any clue what I am missing?? I'm "RTFM-ing" as much as possible, and still not clear on why the error.... :-) - David IMPORTANT NOTICES: **************************************************************************** This message is intended only for the addressee.

But that's not the case; the timeouts were seemingly random across all hosts. And the Nagios host itself was starting to bog down horribly. I could ping it from elsewhere, but couldn't login to it via ssh. (I admit that I didn't try to login to the console.) Previously open ssh sessions closed as well (timeouts). It seemed capable of kicking out occasional e-mails (notifications), but that's it. Even Apache had stopped responding. Some history: - initial install of Nagios on old PC of questionable power - created initial checks - began implementation of NRPE as standalone daemon on several Solaris hosts - added NRPE checks - started to notice NRPE timeouts - switched from standalone to inetd - NRPE timeouts seemed to persist - stopped rollout of NRPE - upgraded Nagios server - added hosts, added service checks, added NRPE checks - at 800+ total service checks (including NRPE), everything is well - added NRPE to several Linux hosts (via xinetd) one afternoon - total service checks are now 1100+ - started to experience NRPE timeouts ... and the rest I've already mentioned. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Ethan Galstad [mailto:nagios at nagios.org] > Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 8:26 PM > To: nagios-users > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] check_nrpe socket time > > > Whoops - sent the original reply to the devel list on accident. > > ------- Forwarded message follows ------- > > How is nrpe being run on the remote host?

I had a similar problem a while back, with check_by_ssh returning code 137. The only real solution I was able to come up with was trying the newest version of check_by_ssh from the CVS repository. Once I did that, things returned to normal. You might want to try that on a single plugin that you're having issues with, just to see if that'll help.

I think. It hasn't been a major issue, but I suppose you could call it a 'fine tuning' aspect of Nagios logic. My host template for check-host-alive has max_check_attempts set to 10. My service template for everything has max_check_attempts set to 3. For the logfile scrubber checks (check_log via NRPE), I've set max_check_attempts to 1. Here's my reasoning. Feel free to point out any flaws (but be gentle ;). If max_check_attempts is set to any value greater than 1 (eg, 3): If logfile scrubber finds matching string in /var/adm/messages: (eg, 'error') then return a 'critical'. Nagios increments count of soft errors of this service check. Else: Reset soft error count. If soft count equals max_check_attempts: set hard failure to true. Else wait till next attempt. But the nature of check_log will only report on matches since the last check (ie, it doesn't re-examine parts of the logfile it's already examined). So with the next iteration, it will fail to find that string, the soft count gets reset to 0, and no notifications are sent out. That behaviour isn't desireable; it effectively renders check_log useless. So, on setting max_check_attempts to 1 for checking logfiles, a soft failure becomes a hard failure with the first iteration, notifications are sent out, everyone's happy. (Sidebar: I should mention that notification_options *only for check_log checks* is set just to 'c', therefore I would receive a page if 'error' is seen in the logfile, but I won't get a page once the check recovers, eg, the next time check_log scrapes the logfile and doesn't see any new occurrences of 'error'.) That approach in and of itself could be changed, if someone can provide a convincing argument. But that's not the main issue here. In the situation where the NRPE daemon is down (unlikely, unless something's misconfigured), all the various NRPE checks would normally return a critical (due to a timeout). I've created servicedependency rules for all the NRPE checks, except for a dummy NRPE "is NRPE up" check; all the servicedependency rules depend on the success of the dummy check working. So far, so good. However, with the aforementioned check_log checks, they go critical after one successful match. But they don't seem to care about the servicedependancy rule. I thought that this might be because of the fact that they hit the max_check_attempts limit on the first go. As a result, the check_log checks go critical if NRPE is down, but at times they seem to be the first alert that a host is down (or the only alert, if the host reboots quickly enough). It doesn't matter that I've defined the dependancy on the dummy service; I won't see an alert on that if the host itself is down, which is the proper response. I'm thinking that it all depends on which part of the service/host check cycle the events pan out. Now that I've written this all out, I realize there are two problems. I'm uncertain how (in)separable they are from each other. If I were to have a simple wish list of design regarding logfile checks, it would be this: - check for matching strings - if string matches, send notification immediately, set critical alert in web interface - condition remains critical until acknowledged, even if string never shows up again in logfile - critical alert would need to be acknowledged At this point, I haven't decided between the following paths: - once acknowledged, alert is cleared from Nagios or, - once acknowledged, alert remains as acknowledged until subsequent action is taken If I were to go with the latter, I can envision a variation of check_log which writes to a tempfile, and then a subsequent check_nrpe definition would remove said tempfile. Either that, or someone would need to login to the client host and remove the file manually. If we stick with the check_nrpe approach to removing the tempfile, I imagine I'd have to create a cgi (referenced in the extended host info) which, once clicked, would invoke the appropriate check_nrpe removal command. Not elegant, but workable. Sorry for the ramble; things seem moderately clearer now. If you've read this far, I still wouldn't mind hearing about clever solutions to what I'm trying to do. jc ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From jack at monkeynoodle.org Fri Dec 6 00:43:40 2002 From: jack at monkeynoodle.org (Jack Coates) Date: 05 Dec 2002 15:43:40 -0800 Subject: check_command options don't work when defined in hosts.cfg?

My department runs a distributed environment to monitor the enterprise wide hosts and services. We are in the position where we wish to integrate the other departments monitoring into the distributed environment. If I was to just add the hosts to the distributed environment as new entries, this would be very easy. However, there is a requirement to keep the Netsaint host (soon to be Nagios) and make it another distributed node in the monitoring environment. Also, I need to keep the historical data for the hosts/services that this host monitors (a couple of months). Can I simply do: cat nagios.log nagios2.log | sort > new-nagios.log (where nagios2.log is the log from the other host) to keep the information ? I will then iterate through all relevant log files to migrate the historical information across. Thanks.

When the number of recovered, down and unreachable events are higher than 200 (in a day or month), for example, the lines in the histogram alerts don?t show up. If these values are lower than these limit, everything seems fine... I believe that?s is a Y-scale problem, because when the lines doesn?t appear, the Y-scale numbers doesn?t appear too... I also looked int the code of histogram.c to see if there is a max number of events that this program is able to process, but i?ve found nothing. Is it a known bug?

But I was unable to modify this information afterwards. I scheduled downtime for a number of hostgroups, hosts and services. Then it is decided to change the day of the downtime (or extend it a couple of hours, which is quite common at the end of the downtime...). The only way I found to do it was to delete the var/downtime.log file and define new downtimes. If I have a complex set of downtimes (which is not the case currently) this is bound to get messy. Is there any place I missed in either documentation or web interface where I can simply perform a "edit the following set of downtimes"? Given the format in downtime.log I doubt it, because I didn't have the impression that downtimes were handled on a "per downtime" basis, but rather on an individual host/service level.

It's definitely a permission issue. Chmod your htpasswd.users file (/usr/local/nagios/ets/htpasswd.users if that's where you put it) to 777. That should do the trick. There weren't sufficient permissions to access that file for the authentication information. I'm almost positive this was the cause, but in case it's not, I chmod'd all my nagios directories to 777, .htaccess files to 777, and htpasswd.users file to 777. Hope that helps. Brown.

I was looking at the docs regarding Volatile Services (http://your_nagios_server/nagios/docs/volatileservices.html) and realized this *may* do what I need it to do. But I have a concern that I was hoping someone could address. In the docs, it states: "These events normally only occur for services when they are in a non-OK state and a hard state change has just occurred. In other words, they only happen the first time that a service goes into a non-OK state. If future checks of the service result in the same non-OK state, no hard state change occurs and none of the events mentioned take place again." This seems to indicate that if check_log finds 'error' the first time, notifications will be sent out and the status is reset to OK. So far, so good. But what happens if each/every time check_log goes there and finds 'error' in the logfile (eg, a rapidly degrading disk)? Will Nagios say, "Yeah, you told me about that already. I'm not going to send out notifications, because I did that already"? I'm going to try to test this out (determining design through observation), but if someone could shed some light on this (the actual design through empirical evidence), it would be appreciated. jc ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From Chris.Losch at newham.gov.uk Fri Dec 6 18:31:33 2002 From: Chris.Losch at newham.gov.uk (Chris Losch) Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2002 17:31:33 -0000 Subject: Permissions Error Message-ID: I'm afraid its a case of been there, done that... but just in case I did something wrong, I tried again...

There should be a directive in your httpd.conf that specifies the group. It looks like: Group (for me, the is nobody) I would reccomend that you: chown root: htpasswd.user chmod 640 htpasswd.user This will prevent the file from being readable by any user, but allow root to write to and apache to read from it.

If does the same thing. try chmodddddding the $INSTALLPATH/var/rw/nagios.cmd file for something like 777, then work it backwards from there.

References: Message-ID: <3DF0F875.A6307B4@travelersla.com> Though the below will get you up and running it will also leave you open to many vulnerabilities. here is what you should try first run the nagios -v against your main configuration file, see if you return any errors. second run nagios (configuration file) no options to see if you receive any command line errors when attempting to access the GUI. third, check your access logs when you attempt to access the GUI. Apache, as well as Netscape produce errors to inform you what the scoop is. fourth, make sure you have a default user with the same name as the install you installed with, fourth. make sure your "allows" in your CGI have the user listed. (if you have the * allowing anyone access it should be the last entry, I have see it cause problems on my system when its somewhere other than the End of the line, this is not documented but do it anyway k?) with all of this done, try opening up the GUI in a window and you should see the user in the upper left corner of the CGI, if you do not. login to the system running nagios and change to the subdirectory where your CGI's are held (make sure you are using the username you are running nagios as.) type one of them in and set the appropriate variables to make it display correctly, ( you will understand what i mean once you type one of them in.) once you get a http formated text output, search the text for the key phrase "logged in" next to that information should be the actual user that you are running it as. (by the way, Special thanks to Ethan, for keeping this function) chmod 777 is not an answer, that means that anyone can WRITE to or change your files. Even non-authenticated users. IE: I could FTP from my web browser a corrupt file directly to your subdirectory(little finagling but it can be done) without even supplying a valid user-name. 777 no!!! no good the key places to look here are the access logs, and the programs you run with the nagios user, most of the time these are the issues that cause the biggest problems.

While I don't mind audio alerts, I'm sure some of my colleagues might not find them so helpful. :) To go along with this, I think some people prefer the maps to default to a different view as well. Perhaps this is something that could be added to the user's contact definition? Along these same lines, would it be posible to use cookies to control how often a sound is played? I generally keep my browser on the tactical overview and don't really want to know that the print server in a far off building is still down. :) Perhaps a checkbox (to turn audio alerts off for that session) and/or a drop down menu and submit button to specify audio alert intervals would help. My PacketShaper's online pages that update at regular intervals let me specify the intervals just such a setup. I can tell it to update every 1, 5, 15, and 60 minutes. 120 and 240 would be useful for audio alerts though I imagine. To go along with the user-defined audio intervals, I think many would find it useful to control how often their pages reload. A similar deal could be used for it as well. The status.cgi could reference that value (within limits) for it's META refresh value. Does anyone else think per-user settings would be useful? I turned on audio alerts today and the idea quickly popped into my head. ;-) Justin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From russell at quadrix.com Fri Dec 6 20:54:45 2002 From: russell at quadrix.com (Russell Scibetti) Date: Fri, 06 Dec 2002 14:54:45 -0500 Subject: Phantom service checks References: <5DB017510818EC468B05BD7BD9EACF8301E2672C@mismail.ena.com> <20021205153718.H1488@ess.nec.de> Message-ID: <3DF10085.50601@quadrix.com> As for the notifications still going out after all the cfg changes, try setting use_retained_program_state in nagios.cfg to 0.

If there were a user preferences page CGI, with options for which page you want to view first (although not currently possible without editing the HTML), sound options (both off and on, and which sound files to play) and default views for the Status Map. You might also include the page refresh time.

There could be a nice web interface for populating config data, and the CGI would do a variation of the current pre-flight check before committing the record(s) to the database. Nagios would check every N (1? 5?) minutes for new records, and act accordingly. For the "Real Men Don't Click" crowd, creating a SQL script for bulk (config) data loads could be an option. If Nagios doesn't like a record, it would flag it as "unimplemented" and would show up in the GUI accordingly (eg, greyed-out record in Host Detail, or would show up in an exception report).

I managed to do it with the 'parents' directive in the hosts.cfg file. If you've got a complex network, with various subnets/routers (or pingable switches/hubs, for example), you can implement 'parents' and enjoy letting Nagios dynamically create a hierarchical image. If you've got a flat network, I think you're out of luck. Check out the following link: http://your_nagios_server/nagios/docs/xodtemplate.html#host In particular, read up on the 'parents' directive: "This directive is used to define a comma-delimited list of short names of the "parent" hosts for this particular host. Parent hosts are typically routers, switches, firewalls, etc. that lie between the monitoring host and a remote hosts. A router, switch, etc. which is closest to the remote host is considered to be that host's "parent". Read the "Determining Status and Reachability of Network Hosts" document located here for more information. If this host is on the same network segment as the host doing the monitoring (without any intermediate routers, etc.) the host is considered to be on the local network and will not have a parent host. Leave this value blank if the host does not have a parent host (i.e. it is on the same segment as the Nagios host). The order in which you specify parent hosts has no effect on how things are monitored."

If it's for GD you need to follow the instructions for installing GD to the letter (i.e.: Installing libjpeg, zlib, changing, directory names etc.). I compiled it using gcc and it all went well when I followed the insturctions. You can also use RPM to install the AIX Toolbox for linux version of the required packages: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/altlic.html If it's a problem with the Nagios compile you might have specify the location of the GD libraries when you run the configure script. See configure --help for more info.

You do not want the file writable by the world. If it needs to be, then you have a configuration problem that should be fixed. In particular, I set nagios command group to www in the config file, so www can write to the pipe. Thus nagios (the owner) and www (the web server user) are the only two people who can write the pipe, as there's nobody else in either of those groups. Hope tha helps, but try to stay away from 777 if you possibly can. -- Karl DeBisschop ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From Brian.Ipsen at andebakken.dk Sat Dec 7 13:29:05 2002 From: Brian.Ipsen at andebakken.dk (Brian Ipsen) Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2002 13:29:05 +0100 Subject: Build RPM with MySQL support ?

All great comments Jim (as always). Noting your last paragraph: It seems to me to be a common issue - i.e integrating time-series data/trending (snmp) info with "point" info & threshold detection that nagios provides. Superficially it's easy - just do cool things with side menu..... I originally used NRG because it auto-conf'ed everything, so was easy to use. The downside is it was not so flexible. So, we moved over to Cricket+Smokeping. Seems all good (so far). But anyway, on to my point: It's wouldn't surprise me that loadsa people want to do the same Nagios+RRD&Front-End combo (but with no fries). - APAN seems pretty good but when one has a plethora of RRD front-ends out there - why would you create another one -especially when people have an investment in the rrd stored data of the existing system? (no offense fredrik). - IMHO Cacti seems to be overkill. But I could be wrong. So, can I see a show of hands as to what people's preferences are for an RRD "partner tool" for Nagios? Maybe we could all work together on making integration between the two really slick... Architecturally my preference is to let the RRD tools do the data acquisition, and let nagios pull from the (probable) local RRD file....What are people's thoughts on that? Ethan, Subhendu etc - Do you see the extension of Nagios from a monitoring/reporting tool to that plus performance analysis as a viable future development path? jamie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]" To: "'Terry Baranski'" ; Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 7:21 AM Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Distributed SNMP monitoring. > A few comments here. > > First, OpenNMS was recently discussed on this list.

Message-ID: <5D8D9455134FD211AE4900A0C9DED11E0773FBD5@indy1ntm.herff-jones.com> Well, actually, if by "fully integrated" you mean "as integrated as anyone could ever want", then no, it's not fully integrated. :-) No offense - it looks like a very nice contribution - but I for one would greatly prefer not to have to spawn off rrdtool to open and close its files again every time nagios wants to save data. It'd be nice if whatever performance archiving mechanism gets focused on is one where the long-running nagios process communicates directly with a long-running, all files held open rrdtool process or a database. It looks like (ok, have I given away the fact yet that I haven't actually set up apan yet? ;-) ) APAN works by getting called every time you call a command you want to record performance info for, then returning the result to Nagios and kicking off an rrdtool process to archive it. Although the apan and rrdtool executables will probably be in OS read cache, that's still a lot of additional overhead.

The RRD fetch, update, create functions can be called directly from Nagios in the same way that it can call any other function that is properly linked (such as the Perl functions if Nagios is built with embedded Perl support) with it. I don't see this as 'a lot of additional overhead', especially with Dynamic loading. Projects that use this approach include the new RRD plugin for Ntop (Again FWIW, Ntop has replaced DB interfaces to mySQL and friends by RRD). RRD tool buys an extraordinary amount of power in . its data manipulation functions . it offers (development at this stage) Holt-Winters time series prediction (from Jake Brutlag of Microsoft). This is an RRA that predicts the next values of data like interface octets that vary periodically, based on historical values of data and variance. It is good way to automatically detect if traffic levels have altered significantly, far more sophisticated than simply setting thresholds. > -t. > Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

Bad use of made-up terminology on my part - by "an rrdtool process" I was actually refering to apan itself, which gets a process creation every time Nagios uses it to check on a host or service. Apan then runs the plugin on behalf of Nagios, so you end up with two processes created per check instead of one...correct? Again, I ought to do more research first...but my impression from the apan docs is that it doesn't keep running as a daemon in the background, but rather has to open and close the rrd files every time an apan service or host gets checked. An alternative would be a process that holds open the xpdfile_host_perfdata_file and xpdfile_service_perfdata_file and then updates the rrd files when it sees new performance data in either file. > Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From Chris.Losch at newham.gov.uk Mon Dec 9 15:43:49 2002 From: Chris.Losch at newham.gov.uk (Chris Losch) Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2002 14:43:49 -0000 Subject: Permissions Error (Could not stat() command file ) Message-ID: Change of Subject line, things were getting confused.... ---- It was worth a try, still didnt work though *sigh* Just in case I'm missing something. ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/rw ----------------------------------------- total 8 drwxrwS--- 2 nagios nagiocmd 4096 Dec 6 17:20 . drwxrwxr-x 4 nagios nagios 4096 Dec 9 14:37 .. prw-rwx--- 1 nagios nagiocmd 0 Dec 6 17:20 nagios.cmd (after chmod'ing with Terry Inzauro's suggestion - see below, default group perms are rw-) /etc/group (relevant bits) ---------------- apache:x:48: nobody:x:99: nagios:x:500: nagiocmd:x:501:nagios,nobody,apache ps -ef | grep httpd output ------------------------- root 10311 1 0 Dec06 ? 00:00:02 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 14958 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 14959 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 14960 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 14961 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 14962 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 14963 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 14964 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 14965 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 15022 10311 0 14:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd root 16310 15956 0 14:34 pts/3 00:00:00 grep httpd ps -ef | grep nagios --------------------------- nagios 8504 1 0 Dec06 ? 00:03:52 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d (lots, but all the same) I'm not wrong in thinking that the httpd is running under the APACHE user, am I?

The RRD fetch, update, create functions can be called directly from Nagios in the same way that it can call any other function that is properly linked (such as the Perl functions if Nagios is built with embedded Perl support) with it. I don't see this as 'a lot of additional overhead', especially with Dynamic loading. Projects that use this approach include the new RRD plugin for Ntop (Again FWIW, Ntop has replaced DB interfaces to mySQL and friends by RRD). RRD tool buys an extraordinary amount of power in . its data manipulation functions . it offers (development at this stage) Holt-Winters time series prediction (from Jake Brutlag of Microsoft). This is an RRA that predicts the next values of data like interface octets that vary periodically, based on historical values of data and variance. It is good way to automatically detect if traffic levels have altered significantly, far more sophisticated than simply setting thresholds. > -t. > Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

You are right that the command_check_interval refers to the command pipe, nagios.cmd. But the service_reaper_frequency affects the reading of the communication pipe between the plugins and the daemon.

The check logic will check the service health. If the services check fails, Nagios will next check the host. If the host is down, the check will fail and notification would only be sent about the host down. But if the host is in a downtime, no notifications will be sent.

I also reconfigured/recompiled nagios with the --with-file-perfdata option, then defined the xpdfile_service_perfdata_file directive in nagios.cfg. I found the output to be pretty much what the doctor ordered, but I've still been giving this some thought. I've been wondering that if one configures/compiles nagios with --with-mysql-xdata, then would the necessary data be there to be able to do time-series graphing? Even as I write this, I'm looking over JpGraph: http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/ and wondering if this, plus PHP, plus the GD library, plus MySQL, aren't just the ticket for creating reports on-the-fly...? This way, we might be able to select a host, a timeperiod, and between 1 and N services, and kicking out graphs which would tell us what we need to know. The obvious win is that the data should only be written once (MySQL), thus keeping disk I/O down to a dull roar. I can't imagine any environment where there would be more than a handful of browsers set to refresh every 90 seconds, and thus the impact on the 'image creation' side should be nominal. Perhaps someone could scrutinize my idea...? jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Frater, Greg J [mailto:gjfrater at bechtel.com] > Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 3:25 PM > To: 'nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: [Nagios-users] orca with Nagios logs > > > Hello All, > > Has anyone looked into using Orca (http://www.orcaware.com/orca/) to > generate rrd files for generating performance data graphs of > Nagios checks? > The web site says it can read data from arbitrary log files > and put it into > an rrd.

Error received in Netsaint is "Host key verification failed." I run the command ( check_by_ssh -H -l netsaint -C < command on remote machine> ) from the shell as the netsaint user and the command executes they way it should. Just for fun, I scheduled a cron job using netsaint's crontab and the job executed the way it should have. It seems as if in my environment the Netsaint core engine cannot execute plugins that use ssh. Some sort of thread issue, when it gets to the second child that uses the ssh command, it will not authenticate. I have also written some plugins that can use either ssh or rsh. When using rsh the plugins work great. When using ssh through the Netsaint engine, same type of authentication problems occur as with check_by_ssh. When I execute the plugins from the shell or cron, they return the results as expected. I have generated pub/priv keys and have created the authorized_keys file on the remote systems as expected. All testing from command line works fine. I am running Netsaint 0.0.7 on Redhat Linux 7.2. Netsaint process's are all owned by the netsaint user who is part of the netsaint group. Netsaint is started with the standard netsaint script -> /etc/init.d/netsaint. Ssh version: 3.4p1 Remote ssh version's: 2.92 & 3.4p1 Can anyone help? Has anyone successfully implemented remote plugins using ssh? Does nagios solve this problem? -john w -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I can only get it to work by leaving off the warning and critical options, of course I can't alert unless I can specify what to alert on. I get the "Return code 138 is out of bounds" error when run from within Nagios and a bus error when using them on the command line. Interestingly enough, I am using the same plugin to check on the router power supply status with a warning/critical flag and that operates normally. Of course the number returned from that check is either a 1 or 2 for on or off. The temperature checks return 2-digit numbers, I'm not sure if this is the issue or not. Below are the checkcommands.cfg and services.cfg entries: checkcommands.cfg: # 'check_snmp' generic command definition define command{ command_name check_snmp command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -C $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$ $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$ } # Check Cisco stuff # Working check for power supply status define command{ command_name check_cisco command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -C $ARG4$ } # Working for temperature readings without the warning critical options define command{ command_name check_cisco_temp command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -C $ARG2$ } # Not working for temperature readings with the warning critical options define command{ command_name check_cisco_temp command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -C $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ } Services.cfg: # Working check for power supply status define service{ use generic-service host_name router-1 service_description PWR2 contact_groups router-admins notification_options w,c check_command check_cisco!.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.5.1.3.2!2!2!comstring } # This only works without the warning and critical flags # Check Cisco Temperature limits define service{ use generic-service host_name router-1 service_description Temp-inlet contact_groups router-admins notification_options w,c check_command check_cisco_temp!.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1!comstring } # This will not work using the warning and critical flags # Check Cisco Temperature limits define service{ use generic-service host_name router-1 service_description Temp-inlet contact_groups router-admins notification_options w,c check_command check_cisco_temp!.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1!comstring!35!45 } Thanks and regards, Robin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From SERGEY.POPENKO at CIBC.com Tue Dec 10 15:38:53 2002 From: SERGEY.POPENKO at CIBC.com (POPENKO, SERGEY) Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2002 09:38:53 -0500 Subject: nagios veritas netbackup plugin?

According to the current Nagios doc's none had as of the writing of the documentation. If not is there any kind of time frame for this? Looks like the framework is there for this type of functionality but not quite ready for prime time. Apan is a great start in the right direction, but needs more plugins and a little more maturity for us. We unfortunately are in prime time and don't have the programming resources to build on the current framework. I may be able to make an elementary crack at some of the performance stuff after we get our monitoring system in production mode. I will definitely be watching this area with interest and if my schedule works out may try to do something with the existing functionality. -----Original Message----- From: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] [mailto:jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 3:24 PM To: Frater, Greg J; 'nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] orca with Nagios logs I've gotten as far as downloading Orca and taking a cursory look at the docs. I also reconfigured/recompiled nagios with the --with-file-perfdata option, then defined the xpdfile_service_perfdata_file directive in nagios.cfg. I found the output to be pretty much what the doctor ordered, but I've still been giving this some thought. I've been wondering that if one configures/compiles nagios with --with-mysql-xdata, then would the necessary data be there to be able to do time-series graphing? Even as I write this, I'm looking over JpGraph: http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/ and wondering if this, plus PHP, plus the GD library, plus MySQL, aren't just the ticket for creating reports on-the-fly...? This way, we might be able to select a host, a timeperiod, and between 1 and N services, and kicking out graphs which would tell us what we need to know. The obvious win is that the data should only be written once (MySQL), thus keeping disk I/O down to a dull roar. I can't imagine any environment where there would be more than a handful of browsers set to refresh every 90 seconds, and thus the impact on the 'image creation' side should be nominal. Perhaps someone could scrutinize my idea...? jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Frater, Greg J [mailto:gjfrater at bechtel.com] > Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 3:25 PM > To: 'nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: [Nagios-users] orca with Nagios logs > > > Hello All, > > Has anyone looked into using Orca (http://www.orcaware.com/orca/) to > generate rrd files for generating performance data graphs of > Nagios checks? > The web site says it can read data from arbitrary log files > and put it into > an rrd.

Ended up finding this interesting product: http://www.akcpinc.com/company/sensorprobe.html At $345 for hardware which monitors both temperature and humidity, it's more expensive than the TempTrax. But the TempTrax only monitors temperature. As far as hooking into Nagios, it apparently supports SNMP.

Message-ID: <853ED27B8537D611AD1000508BAFBB1101023E53@ONMSG001> > Is there anything written to monitor Veritas NetBackup? Thanks upfront. Not natively, you have to write it yourself AFAIK. I spent a few weeks developing plugins for use with Veritas NetBackup (3.4.1) with Perl. It's not all that difficult. I have a suite of tools that monitors drive status, pending requests, robot status, CAP/inport slots full, media-in-pool monitoring (most useful for Scratch). Maybe others I don't recall off the top of my head. Couple media pool monitoring together with MRTG and you get a lovely media usage trend graphs. The hardest part was monitoring Backup exit status. The easiest way to do that would be through BPEND_NOTIFY scripts and passive checking, depending how much information you want. My original solution of active backup status checking was too CPU intensive on the NetBackup system. Though it's possible to do. My current my solution (which may not easily portable) involves a customized BPEND_NOTIFY script, interfacing with bpdbjobs, and transferring a file occasionally from the NetBackup system to the Nagios system.)

Ended up finding this interesting product: http://www.akcpinc.com/company/sensorprobe.html At $345 for hardware which monitors both temperature and humidity, it's more expensive than the TempTrax. But the TempTrax only monitors temperature. As far as hooking into Nagios, it apparently supports SNMP.

This is not the case for mine. Yours may well have been compiled differently since I think CFLAGS="-g -O2" is the default (in configure). ==> This Nagios may have originated from an RPM or package since it was built differently than what is usually the case if built from source. (Sorry this is wrong. Did you build from source ?) That being the case, it may have been compiled with Perl support. 2 The fault occured in libperl.so, the standard Perl shared library. This was apparently called from the Nagios main() function (after it was loaded by libc.so.6) Why this was called is a big mystery to me. Please would you post any output from (as root) :- /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -m (Here's mine tsitc# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -m Nagios 1.0 Copyright (c) 1999-2002 Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org) Last Modified: 11-24-2002 License: GPL External Data I/O ----------------- Object Data: TEMPLATE Status Data: DEFAULT Retention Data: DEFAULT Comment Data: DEFAULT Downtime Data: DEFAULT Performance Data: DEFAULT Options ------- * Embedded Perl compiler (With caching) tsitc# This Nagios uses Perl.) If yours shows 'Embedded Perl compiler', please consider 1 Download the source from http://www.Nagios.ORG 2 Build it as documented and install the binary only. My understanding is that you have __no__ functional Nagios in /usr/local/nagios/bin. If that's not the case, then proceed at your own risk and exercise due diligence - if I suggest cd / && rm -rF *, don't do it. (ie ./configure (making sure that messages show that the gd libraries and headers are found) make all Then, __manually__ install the base/nagios binary (cp base/nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/ or something like it. This means that the debugging symbols are not stripped.) 3 Try starting it manually - forget /etc/rc/nagios.init or whatever. Try /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg. If it works, replace -v with -d. Otherwise, post the backtrace again. If your Nagios does __not__ show a Perl option, then I cannot offer any more help. Does perl work on your system (eg perl -e 'print "Hello world.\n"') ? If not, then you probably should deal with it. If Netsaint is built without it, it should be functional but lots of other things won't (on a FreeBSD system Perl is used to in the rebuild the kernel process). Lstly, Nagios works well. There is something unfortunate about your situation that is causing this problem. All it needs is finding it.

Don't know what you exactly mean. After creating the tables you have to edit the resource.cfg and cgi.cfg with the proper options. Nothing else must be done.

(both executable !!) on the command line in the nagios-etc-folder (Make a backup first !! ; )) Hosts2default.pl returns a file called hostsdefault.cfg and it contains only the host_name and one (!) parent !! Hostextinfo2default.pl creates a file with the name hostextinfodefault.cfg. The next step is to start SaintMap (executable !!) in a XTERM-window with the command ?./saintmap.pl?. Then you open hostsdefault.cfg and hostextinfo.cfg. You can now see your old map (no images ? only the ??? appears as icon). Next: Drag-and-Drop.

I've got two montoring machines on our network, one nagios(monitors networks) and one netsaint machine(unix services). Is there a way to display the netstaint machine errors/acknowledgements in my nagios web interface? I'd like to keep both machines seperate(for admin,alerts,etc..etc.), however I'd like the help desk people to see all errors in one spot. Distrubuted monitoring looks like what I'm looking for, but I have a few questions. Does this setup mean that I need to have all host definitions/services defined on the central server, even the hosts/services the distrubuted server is monitoring? The admin for the distributed server adds a service/host, do I need to update the configs of the central server? And will this work with nagios & a netstaint setup?

Thus, their configs are going to be different, and most likely their database will be different. How will one populate their database? Where will notifications go? How do you make changes to the db? Just to make my point, I'll attach the script that runs to pull data out of my mysql db and generate my nagios configs. It will probably be of little use to anyone. 1) all notifications are handled by an event handler accept those that have a notify_email in the db. the event handler writes back to the db and populates fields such as down_count_* last_down_count_* last_down_*. 2) the db is populated by another script that dumps data from ciscoworks. this script is somewhat intelligent as it will take care of ip/hostname changes, password changes, etc. 3) Nagios is only used for checks, all managing/unmanaging of devices, downtime, etc is handled through a web-based db frontend and commands are pushed to nagios rw. 4) The event handler checks to see if I device is supposed to be down (schedled downtime), then sends proper commands to the nagios rw file. 5) cronjob is run every 15 minutes to look at the db and find all devices that a) are down b) have been down and recovered - but if the device has gone down and comes back up before the cronjob is run, no notification will be sent c) devices that have been acknowledged and d) devices that have downtime or been unmanaged. This way, if 100 devices go down, you don't get 100 different emails, instead, you get 1 email with info about 100 devices: myswtich.blah.com DOWN (12/10/2002 10:10:03) myrouter.blah.com POWERSUPPLY FAIL (12/10/2002 10:10:03) .. So, what good is it if you have the config generation piece with none of the other pieces? Prolly not much good at all. I'd share everything, but there's not enough time in the day to fully document and make everything so that it would be portable to other locations.. not to mention supporting what is published.. My advice to you is to spend a day (or week) designing exactly what you want out of nagios, build a db (you'll have to rebuild it and add more things later, trust me), then start coding. mysql> describe host_table; +----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+ | oid | int(11) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | a | tinyint(4) unsigned | | | 0 | | | b | tinyint(4) unsigned | | | 0 | | | c | tinyint(6) unsigned | | | 0 | | | d | tinyint(4) unsigned | | | 0 | | | hostname | varchar(40) | | MUL | | | | alias | varchar(35) | YES | MUL | NULL | | | vlan | varchar(60) | YES | | NULL | | | readonly | varchar(12) | YES | | public | | | readwrite | varchar(12) | YES | | private | | | pw1 | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | pw2 | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | pw_type | varchar(20) | | | telnet | | | device_type | text | YES | | NULL | | | device_version | text | YES | | NULL | | | to_monitor | tinyint(4) | | | 1 | | | notification_sent | tinyint(4) | YES | | 0 | | | downtime_start | datetime | YES | | NULL | | | downtime_stop | datetime | YES | | NULL | | | down_count_sys1 | smallint(6) | YES | | 0 | | | down_count_sys2 | tinyint(6) | YES | | 0 | | | last_down_count_sys1 | tinyint(6) | YES | | 0 | | | last_down_count_sys2 | tinyint(4) | YES | | 0 | | | last_down_sys1 | datetime | YES | | NULL | | | last_down_sys2 | datetime | YES | | NULL | | | check_type | text | | | | | | check_time | smallint(6) | | | 8 | | | check_num | smallint(5) | | | 3 | | | retry_interval | smallint(11) | | | 1 | | | email_notify | text | YES | | NULL | | | creation_date | datetime | YES | | NULL | | | last_modified | timestamp(14) | YES | | NULL | | | status_comment | text | YES | | NULL | | | comment | text | YES | | NULL | | +----------------------+---------------------+------+-----+------------+----------------+ 34 rows in set (0.00 sec) network_table where name=vlan name router=router vlan hangs off of hub=hub that router is associated with sX are starting ip address eX are ending ip address. mysql> describe network_table; +--------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | oid | bigint(20) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | name | text | | | | | | router | text | | | | | | hub | text | | | | | | s1 | int(10) unsigned | | MUL | 0 | | | s2 | int(10) unsigned | | | 0 | | | s3 | int(10) unsigned | | | 0 | | | s4 | int(10) unsigned | | | 0 | | | e1 | int(10) unsigned | | | 0 | | | e2 | int(10) unsigned | | | 0 | | | e3 | int(10) unsigned | | | 0 | | | e4 | int(10) unsigned | | | 0 | | +--------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ 12 rows in set (0.00 sec) On Wed, 11 Dec 2002, Russell Scibetti wrote: > I received a question regarding this, so maybe I should try to be more > clear. > > I am trying to work on a way of storing, generating, and managing all > our Nagios configs, most likely using a database (MySQL?).

When in doubt, test it under user nagios. (I don't think it would make a difference in this case, but it's all about eliminating possibilities, right?) Second, it appears that there are 3 different invocations of the command, and none of them match.

Message-ID: <5DB017510818EC468B05BD7BD9EACF8301E26754@mismail.ena.com> Yup, distributed monitoring is what you're looking for. The netsaint server will use send the service check reslts to the nagios server via NSCA. You _will_ need to mirror the host and service definitions from your netsaint server on your nagios server as neither program will accept passive service checks for a service it doesn't know about. It sounds to me that you'll want to disable notificatios for the services on your nagios server or set the notification timeperiod to none. -- Marc Sent from a very tiny wireless device with a very tiny unlit keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Lyons To: 'nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' Sent: Wed Dec 11 11:32:13 2002 Subject: [Nagios-users] Distributed monitoring questions... Hi, I've been trying to search the archives, but it seems to be having issuse, so hopefully someone can help. I've got two montoring machines on our network, one nagios(monitors networks) and one netsaint machine(unix services). Is there a way to display the netstaint machine errors/acknowledgements in my nagios web interface? I'd like to keep both machines seperate(for admin,alerts,etc..etc.), however I'd like the help desk people to see all errors in one spot. Distrubuted monitoring looks like what I'm looking for, but I have a few questions. Does this setup mean that I need to have all host definitions/services defined on the central server, even the hosts/services the distrubuted server is monitoring? The admin for the distributed server adds a service/host, do I need to update the configs of the central server? And will this work with nagios & a netstaint setup? Thanks.. _____ Do you Yahoo!?

It's all about trade-offs. If you're interested in consolidating N checks on one monitoring server, be prepared for the time between checks to scale proportionately to the number of checks being done. Don't expect a server doing 2,000 checks to behave the same as a server doing 5 checks. If you're interested in having one server kept under the microscope with just a ping test, I'm sure you could tune Nagios to give you pager/e-mail response between 1-5 seconds. If you're interested in doing 2,000 checks and having Nagios alert you in under 5 seconds if *any* of the hosts/services go down (with 100% determinism), you're being a wee bit optimistic. Perhaps you'd like to rephrase the question...? jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Jared Brick [mailto:jared.brick at convergia.net] > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 8:57 AM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] Response time > > > Hello, > > I'm trying to improve Nagios's response time for when a > host is down.

Hi, I've been trying to search the archives, but it seems to be having issuse, so hopefully someone can help. I've got two montoring machines on our network, one nagios(monitors networks) and one netsaint machine(unix services). Is there a way to display the netstaint machine errors/acknowledgements in my nagios web interface? I'd like to keep both machines seperate(for admin,alerts,etc..etc.), however I'd like the help desk people to see all errors in one spot. Distrubuted monitoring looks like what I'm looking for, but I have a few questions. Does this setup mean that I need to have all host definitions/services defined on the central server, even the hosts/services the distrubuted server is monitoring? The admin for the distributed server adds a service/host, do I need to update the configs of the central server? And will this work with nagios & a netstaint setup? Thanks.. _____ Do you Yahoo!?

Perhaps another way of looking at this is that __no one__ who bothers to respond to this list is likely to profit from the answer directly. People attempt to answer questions for their own reasons, and using whatever resources (especially time) they have available. In my case, I am simply not going to even read letters that are . in HTML . don't wrap sensibly, so the right margin is a hundred miles to the away from the left. It is painful to scan these very long lines. As painful as looking for the logical breaks of thought in a paragraph lacking punctuation. . are hard for me to understand, possibly because the writer is doing their best with a non native language. Obviously, I will be more tolerant in such cases but the fact remains that if I can't understand the question, I have no chance of answering it. The document published by Greg Lehey at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html contains suggestions for writers to increase the likelihood of getting positive results to questions. Although it's targetted at those wishing to write to FreeBSD-Questions, I think the advice is generally applicable, So to sum up, my view is that there is no need to get excited about badly written letters. Such letters are less likely to be answered and the writers will seek other means of obtaining what they want.

Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F248F@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> For something as limiting as SMS/pager, you might want to start with something like: For host outages: grep HOST status.log | grep CRITICAL | wc -l For service outages: grep SERVICE status.log | grep CRITICAL | wc -l Massage in some formatting, and you could end up with output similar to: Hosts up: 165 down:30 Services up: 1419 down: 155 Anything more detailed than that, you might want to parse out the hosts/services and report on those. The risk of this approach is that for any non-trivial number of outages (hosts or services) in a given report, you could quickly end up surpassing the message limit defined for SMS/pager. (If you don't mind multiple messages, you could write a perl script to chop the message up into multiple messages which satisfy the limit issue, and send them out, one after the other. Then instead of having a truncated message, you end up with several (tens? hundreds?) of messages until that one report cycle is complete. Then 5 minutes (more or less) after the current cycle of messages started, you might be able to expect the same volley of messages to hit (or be queued up for) your SMS device or pager. You might see that while it's technically feasible, your happiness quotient might end up dropping dramatically.

I have modified "SaintMap" that it produces an output in the Template-Based way and I have written 2 little perl programmes that transfom hosts.cfg and hostextinfo.cfg into a simplified default (old) method definition. I use the "old" method as input for SaintMap. How to Use: Copy hosts2default.pl and hostextinfo2default.pl into the nagios-etc-folder (for instance, /usr/local/nagios/etc/) and run "./hosts2default.pl" and "./hostextinfo2default.pl" (both executable !!) on the command line in the nagios-etc-folder (Make a backup first !! ; )) Hosts2default.pl returns a file called hostsdefault.cfg and it contains only the host_name and one (!) parent !! Hostextinfo2default.pl creates a file with the name hostextinfodefault.cfg. The next step is to start SaintMap (executable !!) in a XTERM-window with the command "./saintmap.pl". Then you open hostsdefault.cfg and hostextinfo.cfg. You can now see your old map (no images - only the "?" appears as icon). Next: Drag-and-Drop. When you have finished your work, save to any file (best: hostextinfo.cfg) and this file contains your "Extended Host Information". SEE YOU HPS PS: I'm not in the MailingList !! Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

If one asks a question 'like a person with smarts, confidence, and clues who just happens to need help on one particular problem.' then one __becomes__ that sort of person. Lists that expect a minimum standard of care and thoughtfulness in asking become more useful, stimulating and attractive. It does not help answering the same question over and over again: not the answerer or the questioner. It is not a matter of rudeness or cleverness; only efficiency and a willingness to encourage participation, learning and action from everyone.

The cgis, by default, should be in /usr/local/nagios/sbin. As for the outages.cgi permissions issue, ask yourself some Q's! Is this the only cgi you get this problem with? are you actually managing to be recognised by nagios, logged in user = or do you have '?' ? If you are Authenticated - that is, logged in username=, are you authorised to view that information? The best advice is to read, re-read and read again all the relevant documentation, it describes it pretty well - although it assumes things everything works as expected. If you are 99% sure that you are correctly configured, and that all necessary files are on your system ;) then re-post a querie preferably with the relevant parts of you config files - you will know what is relevant when you read the documentation. :) Don't worry about being a newbie, we were all newbies once.

On the one hand you're asking for a service check to reset to OK after a period of time (depending on how you define 'period of time, this is the default behaviour). On the other hand it appears you're asking that if the next check returns and OK, to set the status back to OK, but still require that you manually submit an OK. (This confuses me.) If I may speculate wildly for a moment.... If you're primarily interested in receiving alerts based on the (critical) status of the SNMP traps, you could set max_check_attempts=1.

Example - Something critical has happendend on a host (or router) - which initiates a snmp trap. The trap is received by snmptrapd on the nagios host, and processed as an external/passive service-check - setting the service to warning or critical. If no further traps are received within 2 minutes (and the check interval is 2 minutes) - will the status for that service fall back top OK - or will it remain in state warning/critical (depending on the submitted result) ? I can not depend on the device to send another trap to tell me, that things are OK again (that is why I need nagios to make an alert - and then the status should go back to OK, because otherwise I'll not be notified next time a snmp trap is received).

Both packages are available from http://www.nagios.org/download/ I use nrpe (active checks) to monitor certain processes on a remote SCO machine - works very well for me.

Do you prefer to have a miniature picture of the device (say a router, switch, or in my case a PacketShaper) or do you prefer to use the company's logo (like Redhat, Apple's apple, or BSD's Devil)? I created a set of images for my PacketShaper 4545 this morning from a large tiff the company provided. The png looks pretty good (good enough I think) but the gd2 image is a bit off. http://noc.net.pittstate.edu/tools/nagios/images/logos/macdaddy/PS4500-40x40.png One thing I couldn't find in any docs is what to set the "chunk size" to for pngtogd2. pngtogd2 PS4500-40x40.png PS4500-40x40.gd2 1 1 I used a chuck size of 1 and uncompressed fmt (whatever that is, I just remember the docs did say to keep the image uncompressed for CPU's sake). Should I have done something else? I guess this question is in two parts. Did I make the gd2 correctly and does the general nagios userbase prefer miniature picturess of devices or rather company/product logos?

Our company provides email services with a proprietary software over sat. Right now we have our support people watching the servers 24/7 for problems. On of the key indicators they watch is the mail queue. If I had a plugin to alert them when the number of messages that are queued gets too high, then they could get more sleep. the plugin actually just needs to monitor the number of files in a directory. This might also be good for seeing when log files pile up or anything of that nature. In my particular situation, the files are stored in a samba share on a linux box until the smtp server makes a connection and then retrieves them. On Thu, 2002-12-12 at 13:36, Jeremy T.

I totally agree. However, due to time constraints, the systems we're running on, etc, I opted to take the quick, easy way. The systems we're on are not GNU-ized, so the tools are somewhat limited.

Only in that case will Nagios run the service check command (ping).

Our Cat switches (5000, 29xx) ocassionally lose the ability to respond to ICMP - perhaps because the agent has dies - and while they bridge Ok, they are not easily detectable as alive. The lists SNMP authorities may have better ideas about this. If however, you lose power to your switches, its a great way of avoiding Notifications from Hell. > Greg M.

Typically the network devices we're interested in use TCP/IP, so something as basic as check_ping would suffice. If the network device isn't itself addressable, then you might have to do some pondering if out-of-band checking is an option (eg, an expect script wrapped around tip).

Please try and compile the plugins. They also require the signal named SIGALRM. If they build, it means that you have SIGALRM but the configure script in Nagios is not finding it. SIGALRM should be a part of every POSIX (Linux, Sol, FreeBSD,..) system. On this systemm (FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE), SIGALRM is in /usr/include/sys/. (pc09011> grep -i -2 SIGALR /usr/include/sys/signal.h #endif #define SIGPIPE 13 /* write on a pipe with no one to read it */ #define SIGALRM 14 /* alarm clock */ #define SIGTERM 15 /* software termination signal from kill */ #ifndef _POSIX_SOURCE ). Perhaps it might be necessary for you to find where SIGALRM is (eg grep -l /usr/include ALRM) and add the necessary path with an -I switch to the Makefile CFLAGS. (CFLAGS=-g -O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach/CORE -DHAVE_CONFIG_H). In any case, it sounds either like a Nagios portability problem or a problem with your system. Does Nag build on other systems you have access to. If this works tsitc> perl -e '$SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "Ring Ring" }; eval { alarm(1); while (1) {} }; print "Perl is alarmed\n" if $@ =~ /Ring/' Perl is alarmed tsitc> then SIGALRM is definitely on your system and Perl at least can find it.

Green) Date: 12 Dec 2002 17:51:26 -0600 Subject: NRPEP Update Message-ID: <1039737086.1761.271.camel@desktop> If anyone is interested... NRPEP Nagios/Netsaint Remote Plugin Execution/Perl is a PERL implementation of remote execution of Nagios/Netsaint plugins similar to NRPE. The original version (<0.3) was written by Adam Jacob ~1999. In 2000 I started making minor buglet fixes and in early 2001 Adam agreed to let me take over the project. It had stalled along at 0.2a (bugfixes) until I started my new Managed Services company at which point I was able to continue my work with Netsaint and then Nagios. The first change I made was to remove Crypt::TripleDES as the cipher after running into some issues with it. The current version 0.3.4 uses the PERL Mcrypt interface which will allow for much greater flexibility in the end users choice of encryption techniques. Currently I've coded to Blowfish, but will move the encryption choice to the configuration files. I've also reworked the internal logic to add verification of remote end (are we really talking to NRPEP?), shared secret comparison (Ack our secrets don't match!), and a little better check command error handling. Last thing I added (today) was a default check_nrpep command 'check_nrpep'. This allows you to verify the remote NRPEP server is available for further queries. I plan to put this all back together into a tarball and start (yet another) SourceForge project for it, but thought I'd check the interest here first. Let me know if your interested...

This causes the CGI to ignore initial alerts for some services are program (re)starts. Ignore repeated states is good if you want to have the CGI ignore back-to-back alerts that are of the same state. If you have sequential alerts for a service that are of the same state (i.e. CRITICAL) and they get logged, they could throw the numbers off in the CGI. I guess it depends on what type of service it is that you're checking.

Yes. Here is part of an example that does what I think you are wanting to do for Frame Relay traps # Arguments: # $1 = trap type # First line passed from snmptrapd is FQDN of host that sent the trap read host # Second line passed from snmptrapd is ip address of host that sent the trap read ip # Subsequent lines passed from snmptrapd contain the varbinds, one pair of OIDs and values perl line # # transmission.frame-relay.frCircuitTable.frCircuitEntry.frCircuitIfIndex.15.21 15 # transmission.frame-relay.frCircuitTable.frCircuitEntry.frCircuitDlci.15.21 21 # transmission.frame-relay.frCircuitTable.frCircuitEntry.frCircuitState.15.21 inactive(3) Dlci=9999 CircuitState='unknown' while read oid val do if [ `expr "$oid" : '.*Dlci'` -gt 0 ] then Dlci=$val elif [ `expr "$oid" : '.*CircuitState'` -gt 0 ] then CircuitState=$val fi done # Given a FQDN, get the short name of the host as it is setup in NetSaint hostname="unknown" case $host in so-*) hostname=`expr "$host" : '\(so-...\)'` # traps could come from so-ade-isdn, so-ade-frame etc. ;; localhost) # FIXME. # Testing only. hostname="so-cbr" ;; *) exit 0 esac service_desc="Frame relay PVC state change" # Get severity level (OK, WARNING, UNKNOWN, or CRITICAL) and plugin output based on trape type state_OK=0 state_UNKNOWN=3 state_WARNING=1 state_CRITICAL=2 echocmd="/bin/echo" CommandFile="/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd" state=state_UNKNOWN output="No output" case $1 in # frDLCIStatusChange (a frame relay PVC has changed state) 1) if [ `expr "$CircuitState" : 'active'` -gt 0 ] then output="Ok.

Your script must read the 'varbinds' and work out what they mean, assigning them as required to local storage (for inclusion in the check ouput). You know what the VarBinds are from the trap definition of the MIB you are handling. This one is looking for OIDs containing 'Dlci' and 'CircuitState'. and saves them in $Dlci and $CircuitState (the script would be better written in Perl from the intelligibility/maintainability perspective, but I stupidly thought the shell would run faster). > Based on teh > documentation, it appears that > the server name is held in $host... > Yep. > ___________________________ > > greg.nyce at aei.com > 970-407-6948 > This is pretty much a pain to do and maintain.

That way the host is assumed to be up to start with, and the availability report works better. Don't forget, the host is only checked on a service state change (or so I understand from the docs) so if the services are OK, you won't have any data on the host state until the service state goes to warning or critical.

The basic problem is that the check_snmp plugin clears out it's system environment variables before calling exec()'ing snmpget. Unfortunately, if your snmp package is installed in the /usr/local directory tree, the the required libraries are in /usr/local/lib. By default in Solaris, this directory is included in the runtime library path. There are two ways to resolve this. You can either copy or symlink the requisite .so files from /usr/local/lib into /usr/lib, or you can use crle as a system administrator to add /usr/local/lib into the default runtime path.

This would be useful when setting up (and maintaining) nagios on a large network. Come to think of it, once nagios was up, it might be better to make the nagios database the primary, and generate the netgroups map from it.

I have just installed nagios v1.0 on my server, a freebsd 4.5 box running apache 2.0. I setup the web interface and plugins, I can login but not see any host information what-so-ever. I have edited cgi.cfg to allow me access to essentially all functions by putting my username in all of the authorized_for spaces. However when I login anytime I try to view any information I get this message It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested... If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file. Just to see I disabled authentication and everything worked fine, I could view host and service info etc but as soon as I reactivated authentication in cgi.cfg back to nothing. Am I missing something here.

On closer inspection, it would seem that NSClient is still somewhat 'exposed'. More specifically, there's no way to force NSClient to *only* accept connections from 127.0.0.1. If this restriction were possible, then the local stunnel config would accept SSL connections on, say, port 1249, and redirect to 127.0.0.1:1248, which of course NSClient would happily accept. Naturally, one would hope that there are packet filters in place to only permit traffic on 1249, but we don't have the luxury of making that assumption. I'm also told that the built-in filtering software on Win2k isn't as robust as one would hope. IPsec isn't an option, because the application in question won't be using it on the machines that the Win2k box will be communicating with. So at this point I'm open to suggestion.

While I haven't tried the CGI HTML, it's quite feasable to parse other HTML with the Perl modules HTML::Parser, HTML::LinkExtor, HTML::Table (?). There's a good introductory chapter to the use of HTML::Parser in "Network programming with Perl", (example code on AWL web site), or for less easy eaxmples perldoc HTML::Parser (after you have installed it).

Download the latest version of the Nagios Plugins ( http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagiosplug/nagios-plugins-1.3.0-beta2.tar.gz ), and check under the "contrib" directory. You'll find: - check_oracle_instance.pl - check_ora_table_space.pl Both of them need PerlDBI and DBD::Oracle, though.

Yes, there's a way of doing it. Things to consider: Advantages: - saves you lots of manual configuring Disadvantages: - you set the thresholds once for a given host, and they apply to all partitions (which can be less than desireable if you're running, say, an Oracle database server, where in some cases the data files consume (nearly) all of the available space) - there's a limit to the length of the message (I believe it's 1K) which is sent back to Nagios, so you'll end up lacking details on *all* of the partitions - looking at reports such as the Status Grid, you won't be able to see at a glance what all the partitions are currently at Try it out, see if you like the 'lite' approach: ./check_disk -w 10 -c 5 If you decide that the verbose reporting is preferable, you could save yourself quite a few keystrokes with these tips: - use a centralized nrpe.cfg file; distribute it to all the hosts after each add/change/delete (don't forget to manage it with RCS/CVS/similar) - use templates for each unique disk definition and use those in your config files jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Kraus, Markus [mailto:Markus.Kraus.hp at sysde.eads.net] > Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 9:47 AM > To: 'nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: [Nagios-users] Merged disk checks > > > Hello @, > > I monitor about 100 servers each with at least 5 Partitions. > That makes over > all 500 check_disk calls.

We worked around it by going to check_snmp and just hitting the disk partitions over snmp. This allowed us to only have to install snmp on the servers (some already had it) and we can monitor more than the plugins have come up with. I don't mean to offend anyone by this, but snmp has also undergone much more scrutiny for security issues than any of the client side netsaint/nagios plugins have. Setup a read only user. Season with tcpwrappers to taste and all of the thresholds can be set from the netsaint config. I haven't done it yet, but I intend to do the mrtg/apan integration into netsaint and I believe the check_snmp_disk that I've setup will graph more information. I posted to the list a while back about how I setup the check disk if you want to search for it.

I used the FreeBSD port of 1.06b for the installation, and added the mysql compile options to the Makefile. Most of the mysql features are working, but I was still having difficulty getting hostextinfo to the CGIs. So, things like the icons for hosts, external urls for host info, and statusmap were not working. I went ahead and converted my hostextinfo to template format, and tried adding it as an option in the cgi.cfg. xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg No luck there either. I noticed that I compiled with both: --with-template-extinfo \ and --with-mysql-extinfo \ So, I reinstalled without the --with-template-extinfo option. Now I am getting extended host information on status.cgi and extinfo.cgi, but still no user-coordinates for the statusmap. I suppose I could go back to the template based extinfo, but I would like to have this in the database if possible. Any ideas? TIA, Scott.

I've recently installed nagios successfully on an OpenBSD 3.2 server. Works great... can't tell you how pleased I am with the overall project. Unfortunately, flapping is not working for me. Flapping is enabled in both my hosts.cfg, nagios.cfg and services.cfg files, but it's still showing as disabled on all relevant cgi screens. I wouldn't think this is a result of any compilation errors on the OpenBSD platform... everything appeared to compile cleanly. Based on the documentation, it appears that flap support is experimental. Nevertheless, I'm hoping someone can point out what I'm missing.

I have a problem with the 3D Status map. I've had the same problem since I started using Nagios a long time ago. When I try to show the 3D map I get a download window with a grayed out "Open" button and if I choose "Save" I get an error telling me that IE6 is unable to open the statuswrl.cgi?host=all. This really didn't bug me, and I blamed it on a bad WRML-client installation or something - until I browsed into the new Nagios demo-installation at squareBOX and the 3D statusmap worked without any problems in my browser. I run nagios on Linux Slackware and Apache 2.0.39 and I'm wondering if there are some statements that has to be done in the apache configfiles (mime types etc). I've also read something about IE has trouble with the caching under SSL as I'm running the nagios site secure.

I used the FreeBSD port of 1.06b for the installation, and added the mysql compile options to the Makefile. Most of the mysql features are working, but I was still having difficulty getting hostextinfo to the CGIs. So, things like the icons for hosts, external urls for host info, and statusmap were not working. I went ahead and converted my hostextinfo to template format, and tried adding it as an option in the cgi.cfg. xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg No luck there either. I noticed that I compiled with both: --with-template-extinfo \ and --with-mysql-extinfo \ So, I reinstalled without the --with-template-extinfo option. Now I am getting extended host information on status.cgi and extinfo.cgi, but still no user-coordinates for the statusmap. I suppose I could go back to the template based extinfo, but I would like to have this in the database if possible. Any ideas? TIA, Scott.

However, make sure to strip out all references to program starts/stops/restarts in the distributed logs before you merge them into the central log. Also, if you do this you will probably have some slight inaccuracies with regards to availability reports on the distributed hosts/services. The main reason for that is that the central and distributed copies of Nagios probably started/stopped/restarted at different times and Nagios logs some events (like initial state info) immediately after startup. I don't think this should affect things negatively too much, but keep the original logs around just in case the combined log gives you problems.

In the latter case it might help to restart the NSClient-Service. (But from the code I can see that NSClient *builds* the actual perf-counter at the moment the query arrives over the net and *destroys* it after the query is done. Only the "standard" perfmons (SystemTotalProcessorTime, SystemSystemUpTime, MemoryCommitLimit, MemoryCommitByte) are build at startup of NSClient and run until the Service ist stopped.)

It's possible for the remote host to submit the results with ncsa over a secure tcp connection to the monitor machine. Have a look at the addons section of the project web pages (www.NetSaint.ORG or www.Nagios.ORG).

It is a /bin/bash shell script. If I take out the mysql command from the scrip nrpe runs it fine. The problem seems to be that nrpe doesn't recognize the mysql command as a real command. Why this matters I'm not sure because shouldn't nrpe just run the script and wait for output? I haven't tried to run it with check_by_ssh because OpenSSH on the target machine is very old, has never been set up correctly and I really don't want to start patching the hell out of a machine I'll probably just rebuild in a month or two (If I have my way).

I know it is just a sym-link to check_tcp, which is fine, except in the check_tcp code, for doing pop checks, it does an expect for "110", which is the FTP port typically. However, you can get a 110 back even when FTP isn't up and responding. As a coworker just pointed out to me, the important thing to expect is a "+OK", which is the actual FTP response that shows it is working. Is this a problem in the check_tcp code, or is there a good reason for the expect "110"?

Hence why the check_tcp knows to use port 110 when check_pop is the command used. But I am concerned about the expect string. I don't understand why the expect is set to "110" as opposed to expecting "+OK", which is the standard FTP response when everything is working. There are times you get a 110 back when FTP isn't responding, as we unfortunately just discovered here.

For example if yahoo.com is up and I run a check_http against it, Nagios will state that it is not online and I will receive an Error recv() message. Other times, the plugin works just fine. Is there a source update, or a fix for this. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution to get around this problem?

I am only talking about POP, not FTP. My concern is that the default EXPECT value for check_pop (which can be found in the code for check_tcp) is "110." You don't get back "110" in the return from a tcp connect to POP. You get back a "+OK" in the return to know that everything is running. I have sent an email to the devel lists about this and another bug in check_tcp (the actual default EXPECT values never get checked, hence why no one has seen the wrong EXPECT value for check_pop as a problem). Also, I am referring to the Nagiosplug 1.3b2 release only. -Russell Jason Dixon wrote: >On Wed, 2002-12-18 at 11:55, Russell Scibetti wrote: > >>I just noticed something odd about check_pop.

But I noticed that the spopen function won't execve the command passed in if it contains " ' " or "''" or any ". I actually need to pass an empty string for one of my functions. So, I'm thinking that maybe we could add another spopen function like spopen_raw(const char *cmdstring, int strip_quotes) and if strip_quotes is 0, then don't strip out the quotes (that is, assume the caller knows what (s)he is doing). And then spopen could simply call spopen_raw(cmdstring, 1). Is there any objection to refactoring the code in this way? Basically it means that everything continues to work as is, but more flexibility is introduced. thanks dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Order your Holiday Geek Presents Now!

In the latter case it might help to restart the NSClient-Service. (But from the code I can see that NSClient *builds* the actual perf-counter at the moment the query arrives over the net and *destroys* it after the query is done. Only the "standard" perfmons (SystemTotalProcessorTime, SystemSystemUpTime, MemoryCommitLimit, MemoryCommitByte) are build at startup of NSClient and run until the Service ist stopped.) Are there other error-messages generated by NS-Client? cheers Rainer (Embedded image moved to file: pic22315.pcx) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

One disk filling up and triggering 50 warnings is not really cool. Plus that you might be mounting from machines that are not under your control, where you can't do anything against file system status.

Yes. There is a linux-specific plugin in the contrib directory for this purpose. If you want a more general purpose check_dhcp plugin, there are suitable Perl modules and code (although I don't know where they are).

To achieve microsecond accuracy (that is also reliably accurate), you will need some hardware-based measurement. A company I used to work for (now defunct) developed this exact solution. I believe a company called Brix was developing a similar product, as was Cisco. Then again, if can afford to be more lenient with your accuracy, you could always use MRTG, cricket, or a variety of other tools to test TCP return time at various ports (i.e. 22, 80, 25, etc) Sean Erich Kuehn wrote: >Im trying to measure latency on my network.

Host A has multiple (anywhere between 2-5) NICs. Each NIC is on a separate subnet and provides SERVICE_1 to each subnet. Host B runs SERVICE_2. Host B has multiple NICs on the same subnets as Host A. Host B, SERVICE_2 provides a backup for SERVICE_1 on the same subnets. (If clients time-out connecting to SERVICE_1 on Host A they try connecting to SERVICE_2 on Host B on the same subnet) I currently monitor each NIC on each Host as a separate host and perform all service checks of Host A/B on each NIC. Redundant for most checks (disk space, uptime etc) except for SERVICE_x as we need to know that SERVICE_x on each host is serving each subnet. No worries. In the event of a failure, getting multiple emails/winpopups isn't a big deal. I have just gotten my paging working and wish to avoid multiple pages at 1am in the event of a host failure. Further, I want to only be notified if BOTH hosts stop providing SERVICE_x on a particular subnet, or if BOTH hosts go down. Got all that? Good. :) (I told you it was hard :) ) Since I'm in Xmas mode, i'm going home to drink and think about host/service dependancies over the weekend and how I might be able to set them up so that I don't get circular dependancies etc. Beer is good. I was wondering if anyone else out there has set up something vaugely like this situation and if so, how the b00rk did you do it??? Merry Xmas and all that, Greg Vickers p.s. Why do these questions always seem to come to me on Friday afternoon??? :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Never lose a fax again, receive faxes to your personal email account!

Message-ID: <3E0302A2.1050300@adm.vxu.se> Hi. I have a problem with users that have been authenticated to the webserver through LDAP. The webserver authenticates fine but im wondering how to solve the part about CGI access? I've been looking att the cgi.cfg file and i dont want to use the "default_user_name" option to work around the problem. Do i need to somehow add all my users who i have in the LDAP directory to nagios just to get Nagios to respond with the correct username when i logon to nagios? I wich to avoid that. I've tryed setting the "authorized_for_all_services" etc. to "*", hopeing it would solve my problem. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated. _______________________ Tomas Hautala V?xj?

I have to make a shot in the blue then: - maybe one of the definitions in checkcommands.cfg still points to the NSClient-Query and gets triggered when it is called under it's "new name". (Probably you have already done a grep for "TerminalServices" in the config-directory on the nagios server.) What happens if you do the check_citrix command from the command-line? Does this create an entry in the NT error log? If yes, we should notify Ed Rolison about this.

I am trying to get those nifty little icons working :)..

I managed to add in the poll checks for configure, but when running, it goes into an infinite loop. It seems that the line: n = poll (fdarray, 2, INFTIM); is returning 2, but the condition (fdarray[0].revents & readable) is not true and so the read_size never gets set to 0 and the loop never ends. I don't know if this is a Solaris limitation (uname: SunOS 2.6). Is there any particular reason you wanted to use poll? I think for a simple subcommand, the spopen and fgets used in check_procs is probably sufficient.

This is a VVVFAQ....**HOST** checks only get run if a **SERVICE** checks fails... so if the hosts have never failed a service check, then the Host check has never been run (and therefore have no history or data, and are assumed to be up). If you want to show pings for all hosts, add a ping check as a service check.

One system returns "Unknown" status every other time, even though the message output states OK on all 5 service checks. Another system returns "Critical" every other time, with a plugin timeout after 30 sec. for the disk space check. A duplicate system works fine? Running from the command line works every time.

I think using poll() or select() or something like that can provide functionality that the spopen()/fgets() strategy can't. In particular, imagine code that uses the spopen()/fgets() model and the popen_timeout_alarm_handler(). The command that is executed doesn't output anything to STDOUT, but spews lots of error messages to STDERR. Since the first fgets() call blocks on STDOUT, the whole plugin just times out and the only thing reported is from the SIGALRM saying the plugin timed out. Using a poll() or select() model instead, the plugin can capture all output from STDOUT _and_ STDERR simultaneously. Then if any timeouts happen, at least there was a chance to see some activity and take some action. Does that make sense? Let me know what you think about this as a model of plugin invocation.

I managed to add in the poll checks for configure, but when running, it goes into an infinite loop. It seems that the line: n = poll (fdarray, 2, INFTIM); is returning 2, but the condition (fdarray[0].revents & readable) is not true and so the read_size never gets set to 0 and the loop never ends. I don't know if this is a Solaris limitation (uname: SunOS 2.6). Is there any particular reason you wanted to use poll? I think for a simple subcommand, the spopen and fgets used in check_procs is probably sufficient.

Currently the nrpe.cfg file specifies all the commands in this fashion: command[check_disk1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk 80 95 /dev/hda1 As result of this design is that if you want to check something like /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1, you need two seperate lines in the nrpe.cfg file. So, I'd like to propose that we extend NRPE to allow for the arguments to a command to be specified by the central Nagios server instead of in the nrpe.cfg. The idea is that the nrpe.cfg would have one command line which maps a key, 'check_disk', to a local executable, '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk'. The rest would be specified from the central Nagios server in some manner. I think this would great simplify the nrpe.cfg files, and reduce a lot of redundant command definitions that differ only in the arguments they require. Also, it would mean that you'd need to update your nrpe.cfg very rarely. In fact, you'd only need to update it when you add a new plugin. I don't have a concrete suggestion for implementing this yet, because I want to see if the community is interested in this idea first. Has this idea been suggested previously? Is anyone currently interested in the idea or would I be the only consumer of such a service? thanks dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: The Best Geek Holiday Gifts!

Future replies will only be to the nagiosplug-devel list. I would go with "Keep it simple". If a plugin reports a failure, then it is the manual investigation that will show up the stderr failures. I would think a ps failure is fairly catastrophic ;o) Then again, maybe it is just the initial pain of a new model. I can see the model makes more sense for plugins that call 3rd party commands. Maybe Karl would be interested in adding runcmd in utils.c? If your friends are going to look at this on Solaris, here's some of the pain I discovered: strsep is not supported on Solaris.

This was trivial as all accounts on my network are in LDAP anyway and not using the htpasswd user file made things all that much easier... I think the alternative would be to include authentication into Nagios but I think that is unncessary if it can be handled through other means... I also run it over HTTPS rather than HTTP...

One of them is OpenBSD/PF specific, so I won't mention it here. The other two are check_cpu and check_df. Both connect via ssh, but the check is actually performed on the output, not the success/failure of the ssh connection. Check_cpu, for example, gathers/checks cpu load averages. Check_df gathers df output and checks the free percentage. The advantage over some of the other plugins is that they don't require monitoring facilities *on* the target machine. Rather, they use the native 'w' and 'df' utilities. Obviously, this is only relevant to *NIX boxen. Hope these are of some remote use to others, as they have been to me. :) -J.

Hey folks, I'm having the exact same problem as Patrick on one of my OpenBSD boxes... Running it from the command line as the nagios user works fine. I did some grepping in the source, but I can't seem to find where the exact 'ps' command is. I'd like to take a look at the flags it's using, so I can further track this down. Can someone tell me what flags it's passing to 'ps'? Thanks!

This is a really common scenario and I don't know if N can actualy deal with multi-niced boxes any more friendly than it does. I looked into it and eventually gave up. A technique you might consider is using service dependencies but this could get messy to maintain. Another would be to use the check_cluster plugin to tie the services accross the nics on each box but again this means increased maintenance. AFAIK there isn't a solution out-of-the-box.

I think I've found another issue that may be the root of the authentication issue. when I build Nagios it seems as if not all of the CGI's are building. most are fine but I know for sure there should be a statusmap.cgi, histogram.cgi, and statusmap.cgi, however they're not creating. After Running make all and going to the cgi directory I have other scripts such as status.cgi, outages.cgi etc.... based on the source files in the cgi source directory am I correct in assuming that I should also have at least the histogram.cgi, and statusmap.cgi as well as an auth.cgi and more?

You'll need to get them, either manually by editing the "known_hosts" file, or by ssh'ing as the nagios user to each host and accepting the host key.

It is when nagios is doing the regularly scheduled checks through the check_by_ssh plugin that the warning message is returned to the cgi frontend. The checks would have failed when executing them manually from the command line if the hostkey of the remote machine wasn't already stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. The only reference to this that I was able to find on the web was in the netsaint list archives on geocrawler. Someone asked the same question that I did. Unfortunately, the only answer posted to the list was someone who noted that there was a bug in redhat's /bin/login (from an earlier version of redhat than than the one I'm using). They had suggested update the linux-util rpm. Anyway, I don't think that's the issue here, and reading this e-mail list, it is obvious that others are successfully using the check_by_ssh plugin. thanks for the help so far, Nate On Friday, Dec 20, 2002, at 20:20 America/Indianapolis, Mike McClure wrote: > I think the problem is that you don't have a host key for each of the > remote hosts > on your monitoring host, available to the user under which you run the > plugin. > > You'll need to get them, either manually by editing the "known_hosts" > file, or by > ssh'ing as the nagios user to each host and accepting the host key. > > Take a look at > http://www.snailbook.com/faq/trusted-host-howto.auto.html for more > details. > >> Please see below for answers to each of your questions.

When you execute the checks from a shell, are you doing it as the nagios user, or as another user? When the nagios daemon executes them, it does so as the nagios user (usually "nagios"). Try "su - nagios", then ssh'ing to the host. I haven't ever tried ssh.com's version of ssh, but with OpenSSH, if it doesn't have the host's key in known_hosts, it asks you if you want to add it, then it doesn't ever ask again (unless it is changed). > > The only reference to this that I was able to find on the web was in > the netsaint list archives on geocrawler.

It includes charts for ground and satelite based data. It doesn't pull the data into Nagios, but its entertaining at the least (and the manager types seem to like it). I find it corrolates well to WiFi, WAN, cell, pager, and psychic ;) trouble. You are correct, the solar activity has been moderately high lately. What are the chances that this could ever be even remotely on-topic? Your abilities should return when it subsides, and now you can predict future lapses.

First try to run the check_disk command on the nrpe -d host, then try to telnet to the proper port from your nagios box, then see if nagios can talk to nrpe. For purposes of troubleshooting, you might want to start with one of the simpler check_proc commands. That might be much less likely to have hardcoded paths in them like the Solaris check_disk binary I was just playing with. *cough* I guess Ethan keeps all of his FSF Sun software under /usr/local/gnu *cough*. > Below are the relevant parts of the relevant files... > all looks okay from here. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: The Best Geek Holiday Gifts!

If the nrpe was allowed to run whatever it was asked it would be easy to compromise your machines. This way although your configs are hefty (mine have almost a hundred lines in) you can only ask it to run commands from this library. rue On Fri, 2002-12-20 at 17:35, Dave Viner wrote: > Hi, > I'd like to suggest an enhancement to NRPE, and if people think this is a > good idea, I'll try to make a patch to support my suggestion.

Message-ID: <1040406939.27671.124.camel@voodoo.ip.pt> Hi all. I'm using a couple of perl scripts to graphically output my rrd databases, based on "HOST-SERVICE", and using the extinfo.cfg to place the little cute ( :p ) icons next to each service and linking to the scripts using $HOSTNAME$ and $SERVICEDESC$ macros. I dunno if this is a bug (or a feature :-> ), but the following example does NOT work: define serviceextinfo{ host_name MYHOST service_description * <<<----- wildcard. notes_url http://host.domain.dom/cgi/myscript?id=$HOSTNAME$-$SERVICEDESC$ icon_image myimage.png icon_image_alt Service Details } This means that, if my host has 30 services, I have to input 30X the above example, one for each service :( Now, if I have more than 1 host ... Well, [root at nagios etc]# cat extinfo.cfg |wc -l 2780 Bug ?

Incidentally, is it possible to pick up this data real time? I was trying to find info on electronically tagged species so I could plot their Lat and Long in nagios, but after asking NASA for data feeds I did not get very far. Something to do with them not wanting me playing with satellites I suppose. If anyone has any cool stuff that could be monitored to show the diversity of monitoring, I would be interested to here from him or her.

But my suggested enhancement wouldn't allow NRPE to execute any command that isn't listed in the cfg file. That is, the NRPE would still need to find the path to the executable in the nrpe.cfg file, then use any remaining information as arguments passed to the executable. It is true that this is less secure that forcing the entire command line (executable and arguments) in the config file. But, so long as the executables are well authored and handle unexpected arguments well, I think this enhancement would not significantly decrease security. Do you think that specifying arguments would make NRPE significantly less secure? Dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Rue Turner Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 1:33 PM To: Naios Users Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement dave, I think the reson for this choice of configuration is security. If the nrpe was allowed to run whatever it was asked it would be easy to compromise your machines. This way although your configs are hefty (mine have almost a hundred lines in) you can only ask it to run commands from this library. rue On Fri, 2002-12-20 at 17:35, Dave Viner wrote: > Hi, > I'd like to suggest an enhancement to NRPE, and if people think this is a > good idea, I'll try to make a patch to support my suggestion.

It could probably use another header to avoid confusion with the configuration section. I wouldn't want to mislead anyone about Nagios' capabilities, or more importantly that NASA owns the data. Who made the original png images? Maybe we could get another for "Other", "Custom", or "External". Then do something like the following to make it more uniform. ** END OF CONFIGURATION TABLE **
-- Custom --
** ADD SOLAR SNIPPET HERE **
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I want a custom section. It could even be included in the distribution to encourage creativity/ideas. Not the solar weather graphs, but just a Cust-Link1, Cust-Link2, Cust-Link3 type thing. I have some embedded web devices that do something similar, where you can add localized links into the menu. Hmmmm..... As long as I'm making a Christmas wish list... I wish that the headers on side.html were just with corresponding properties in the style sheet to make them uniform, instead of gif or png images. Then it would be easy to add more anytime you wish, and the properties (color, font, fontsize, etc.) would be configurable. You could add an "Intranet", "IT Only", or any custom section at your lesiure. I've added my intranet links under General, but it would be nice to have a seperate section. I'm just thinking out loud here, so to speak. I'm getting more ideas about optional collapsable sub-menus, but its starting to look like scope-creap to me. Take all of this with a grain of salt. To your question, I think the ACE data is available via FTP, and updated every x minutes. Not real time, but you can get it. http://sec.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/lists/ace.html 1&5 min data http://sec.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/lists/ace2.html hourly data Also, browsable historical data for each instrument here: http://www.srl.caltech.edu/ACE/ASC/browse/mag_brws_plts.html I don't know about the rest. I've had this in there since NetSaint, and I haven't looked in a while. I guess that was the whole point of having the links there. :-) Scott. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Welsh [mailto:twelsh at square-box.com] Sent: Sunday, December 22, 2002 6:09 PM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: Solar Flares (was: RE: [Nagios-users] Fw: CGI Issue) Fantastic, I have just added this to the nagios demo page so people can see it on http://nagios.square-box.com I will probably leave it there until next Sunday when I do the cvs rebuild of nagios and the plugins. Incidentally, is it possible to pick up this data real time? I was trying to find info on electronically tagged species so I could plot their Lat and Long in nagios, but after asking NASA for data feeds I did not get very far. Something to do with them not wanting me playing with satellites I suppose. If anyone has any cool stuff that could be monitored to show the diversity of monitoring, I would be interested to here from him or her. Just email me the details of what you have and I will see what I can do. Don't post it to the list, as I do not reckon everyone wants to know movements of a walrus colony in Alaska :) But then again...

The best thing still is attaching a plain old modem to the serial port and use tools like http://www.smsclient.org.

For the dependencies to work properly, each of the sites must be dependent on: a) httpd b) ping machine c) ping router "there" d) ping router "here" Let's assume I check this every minute. My math says that this is roughly 280 hits on httpd per minute (55 * 5 + 5), 280 pings to the machine per minute, 280 pings to the router there per minute and 280 pings to the router here per minute. This gets a little worse when you realize I actually have over 200 sites, not 55. Also on 7 boxes, not one, so we're looking at more like 1005 per minute, spread unevenly across several boxes. The question, then, is whether anyone has run into this and/or does Nagios take this into consideration via any caching mechanism? The documentation says "Before Nagios executes a service check or sends notifications out for a service, it will check to see if the service has any dependencies. If it doesn't have any dependencies, the check is executed or the notification is sent out as it normally would be. If the service does have one or more dependencies, Nagios will check each dependency entry as follows: Nagios gets the current status* of the service that is being depended upon.

No, actually you don't get the "site down" messages, but you do (or did) get the "machine down" messages. At least that is what was happening the other day. I already put in an additional dependency ( I think it is on the coloc-router) for the machine notifications. I think this is covered now, but I haven't tested it. Should be able to test it by unplugging the T1. Note there are two types of dependencies. host and service. I added the service dependency. The host dependency was already there.

I'm not aware of a check_sites plugin. ;-) How are you actually checking whether a 'site' is up or down? (This might be moot, but it might be useful info.) > I can solve this using dependencies, but here's my question. You *can*, but I would recommend you define parents in your hosts.cfg. Much gentler on the ol' grey matter. Read: http://your_nagios_server/nagios/docs/xodtemplate.html#host and go straight to the 'parents' directive. Worth noting: You don't need to define *all* the parent nodes in a given hosts config definition. In your case, 'router there' would be the parent for all the hosts at the colo, 'router here' would be the parent to 'router there'. (I'm not entirely certain how/when you would want to define multiple parents, quite honestly, but I'm taking the simple approach, and it works quite well.) > For the dependencies to work properly, each of the sites must > be dependent > on: > a) httpd > b) ping machine > c) ping router "there" > d) ping router "here" > > Let's assume I check this every minute.

I'm not sure how you arrive at those values. According to what you've told us, you have 3 pingable IP addresses, therefore you would get 1 ping per node per minute. As for httpd hits, you've so far stated that you have 1 httpd daemon, so we can only extrapolate that only 1 socket is being listened on. Perhaps once you've clarified how you define a 'site' and how you're checking each site, that'll become clearer. (If you mean that you've defined 55 IP aliases and you're pinging each one, etc...?) > This gets a little worse when you realize I actually have > over 200 sites, > not 55.

The only part I'm unfamiliar with is check_site. From what you're now saying, check_site can fail on its own, but if check_http fails, you'll get a notification for the failed check_http *as well as* a failed check_site (times 55)? If you can think of even one scenario where check_http will fail but check_site will come back OK, you may not want to define that dependancy. > Now, check_site is a service similar to httpd, but it looks > for certain > things that the web app throws back in the headers. I take it that your check_site plugin does something that you weren't able to do with either the -e or the -s option in check_http...? Just curious; sometimes the finer details of the plugins are overlooked. If check_site is basically an enhancement to check_http, I'm wondering why you're using check_http at all. Having said that, it's worth noting that (in a proper config) a service on a given host depends on the host itself being available. If the service fails, it should check to see whether the host check is good or not, and if not, would only alert on the failed host, not on the N failed services. Taking that approach, once you define parents (as per my previous e-mail), then if the remote router fails, everything behind that will be indeterminate (you have no way of knowing whether they're up or down), and if the local router fails, then everything behind that (including the remote router) will be indeterminate. > So, what I've got, then is: > > NAT Router (host) --> Cisco Router (host) --> Coloc Router (host) --> > machine (host) --> httpd (service) --> check_site (service) > > If I'm checking 55 sites (service checks) per minute, and > let's say that > Coloc Router is down, I want the logic to work as such: > > Well, Coloc Router is down, which means that everyone who has > Coloc Router > as a parent is down, and therefore you can't possibly check > the services on > those machines.

Do you know how this works? If a router is down, you can't flag the hosts *or* the services behind that router as down. Or up. How could you possibly know? They're indeterminate (unreachable). You would need an out-of-band connection to check whether a remote host/service is down/up. > Does that make sense? Sure does. Just try not to get caught up in the excitement of defining dependancies. I've gone through that as well; you'll find yourself doing a *lot* more keystrokes for effectively the same thing to meet your particular needs. (I did it so that for the N NRPE checks on a given host, there are N-1 dependancies on a very basic "echo OK - NRPE is working" test. Take those definitions and try rolling them out across all your hosts... not fun.) Try using the parents approach.

Importance: High Hello All, My problem is that I want to monitor a network which consists of WinNT, 2K, Linux, Switches and routers. Can anyone tell me a way in which I can monitor all these things convenently and quickly. I would recommend: - Nagios - Nagios plugins - NSClient - NRPE Basically I want to monitor these using SNMP only. Is there a way out. In that case, don't use NSClient or NRPE. Use the check_snmp plugin. Further, I configured the NRPE Plugin in Linux machine but the plugin is not working correctly and the Nagios is unable to communicate to them. Hmm. I thought you only wanted to use SNMP...? Is it safe to say you've decided to use NRPE too? How have you determined that Nagios isn't communicating with NRPE? Have you tried to do basic check_nrpe tests on the command line? Can you telnet to port 5666 on the client from the Nagios server? Do you have any logfile output showing the errors? Don't overwhelm us with 100KB of data, but also don't simply say "is not working correctly". For the WinNT, When I install NSClient in my WinNT machine, then the installation is complete and it is running in the Service but it is not making any effect on the Nagios Console. I thought you only wanted to use SNMP (and NRPE)...? Is it safe to say you've decided to use NSClient too? Did you read the README file that came with NSClient? It gives you very useful examples of what you can use in your checkcommands.cfg. Granted, they're in the 'old' format, so here's one example of something that you might find useful: define command{ command_name check_nt_cpuload command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v CPULOAD -s $ARG1$ -l $ARG2$ } And here's an example of something you might put in services.cfg: define service{ host_name itdmlw04 use icmp service_description W2K CPULoad contact_groups windows-admins check_command check_nt_cpuload!MyPassword!10,80,95,60,80,95,1440,80,95 } Can anyone tell me the problem and why this is happening so. Also tell me what all is required on the management server (Nagios) side. I strongly urge you to read the documentation, because otherwise that's exactly what will be regurgitated here. I hate to say this, but your request is too broad. You might as well be requesting, "Hi, could you please share your 15 years of UNIX sysadmin experience in 25 words or less?" You've been extremely vague on describing the problem you're experiencing, and have seemingly changed your design requirements (SNMP vs. NRPE & NSClient). You can't expect a physician to help you if you simply say, "I don't feel well," especially from halfway around the globe, and especially not if you say, "I don't want to take anything except a liquid medication" in one sentence, and then "oh by the way, I'm taking pills and haven't really read the literature regarding recommended dosage or contraindications or even if it's good for what ails me." Have you got Nagios to successfully monitor *anything* in your environment? If not, I suggest you put SNMP, NRPE and NSClient back on the shelf, and start out with a simple check_disk on the local Nagios host itself. Once you get that working, try having Nagios do some very basic monitoring of another host using, say, check_http, or the appropriate plugin for whatever network service you're interested in monitoring. Have you installed NRPE on the remote host? Did you remember to install the plugins on the remote host, too? Do they work? Are they compiled for that architecture? How are you starting the nrpe daemon? What's one line out of the nrpe.cfg file that you can give us which is clearly not working? What command line test did you do on the remote host with that very same plugin which shows that it works/doesn't work? Did you try to run check_nrpe on the remote host and connect to itself (localhost)? Can you run check_nrpe on your Nagios server (checking the remote host) with similar success? I could go on, but the vast majority on this list have already been there, done that. I'm not trying to discourage you from using Nagios; I'm a huge fan, and believe that as the number of users grows, the better the base of knowledge and experience. Try to be more explicit in your requirements/goals/problem determination (cut-paste from logfiles, for example, "X works but Y does not, and they're almost identical and here are the config descriptions for each," for another example). If a dancing giraffe wearing pink-and-green striped pyjamas suddenly appears with a marker in its mouth and draws "Host fuzzbang is down" on the wall, then this might be worth mentioning, too. (Incidentally, if you do have a plugin for the dancing giraffe, I'm sure there might be some interest on the list. ;-) Now, let's see some simple (basic) examples for each scenario you're having difficulties with.

We recently had a redundant power supply fail on one of our Catalyst switches. I would like to be able to use check_snmp to query the switch on the status of the supervisor card, the Ethernet blades and the power supplies. I have searched www.cisco.com for the correct OID to query, but have been unable to get through to their ftp site for the last two days. I have also tried an snmpwalk on the switches with the power supply plugged in and unplugged looking for differences in the output of the snmpwalk command. Included below are the OIDs I found that look like they are power supply related, but I could not find any entries that were status related (up, down, ok, faulty, etc...) 47.1.1.1.1.2.9 = "Container of power supply group" 47.1.1.1.1.2.10 = "Container of power supply" 47.1.1.1.1.2.11 = "400 watt supply" 47.1.1.1.1.2.12 = "Container of power supply" 47.1.1.1.1.2.13 = "400 watt supply" 47.1.1.1.1.2.14 = "Container of power supply" 47.1.1.1.1.2.15 = "400 watt supply" 47.1.1.1.1.2.16 = "Container of Power Entry Module" Is anyone using check_snmp or a similar plugin for monitoring Cisco switches/routers?

I can comment on the one, but am unsure of the other. I, too, suffered from sporadic NRPE problems in the past, such as what you're describing. The first time, I resolved it by moving Nagios from a wheezy, underpowered Intel machine to something quite a bit more up-to-date. I started experiencing it again as I continued to scale up the number of hosts I was monitoring, and ended up doing some performance tuning of the system. This system is using RLX blade technology (www.rlx.com) with RH 7.2. A co-worker had configured the blade to use the disk mirroring option that RLX supplies (could possibly be LVM) and that was just beating up on the I/O. So we captured the image and redeployed it without the mirroring. We also bumped up the swap from 500MB (1/2 of the 1GB RAM) to 2GB (which might be overkill). There were other symptoms prior to the tuning; I had bumped up the number of service checks from about 800 to about 1100, which was also causing the system to suffer a little too much (response lag started to skyrocket). I haven't had any NRPE problems of this nature since tuning the system. However, I've already expressed my concern to the list in this regard, pondering aloud whether NSCA is preferable for scaling to much larger numbers, but alas, I received neither "YES, switch to NSCA" nor "NO, NRPE will easily scale to [insert really large number here]". I'm not entirely certain this is the best approach, but I think it would be preferable if there were a way to tell check_nrpe to ignore connection timeouts (ie, don't return 2). It's useful to have at least one NRPE check return a critical if it cannot connect with the NRPE daemon on the client, but as I've discovered, the only way to avoid getting flooded with NRPE alerts (eg, if the daemon can't/didn't start) is to define dependancies. I have a dummy NRPE check which merely does an "echo OK - NRPE is up" which of course returns a 0, and all the other NRPE checks for that host are dependant on that. Works like a charm, but adds a significant bulk to dependencies.cfg for each host. As for your "status information not found", you might want to check your logfiles for hints of the problem. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Kaplan, Andrew H.

This patch is made against the nrpe-1.5.tar.gz from sourceforge. Essentially, these changes allow us to specify in the nrpe.cfg file lines like this: command[check_disk_gen]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk Then when invoking check_nrpe, you can invoke it like this: ./check_nrpe 127.0.0.1 -V 2 -c check_disk_gen -a "-w 50000 -c 10000 -p /dev/ad0s1e" And the effect is that /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk is invoked with the -w 50000 -c 10000 -p /dev/ad0s1e as the argument string. For example: ~/nagios/nrpe-1.5.new/src>./check_nrpe 127.0.0.1 -V 2 -c check_disk_gen -a "-w 50000 -c 10000 -p /dev/ad0s1e" DISK OK - [1484108 kB (9%) free on /dev/ad0s1e] ~/nagios/nrpe-1.5.new/src> I think this is really useful and would greatly reduce the size of the nrpe.cfg and, more importantly, would reduce the number of times you'd need to modify that configuration file. Instead the modifications would occur on the centralized Nagios server's configuration file. What does everyone think?

This patch is made against the nrpe-1.5.tar.gz from sourceforge. Essentially, these changes allow us to specify in the nrpe.cfg file lines like this: command[check_disk_gen]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk Then when invoking check_nrpe, you can invoke it like this: ./check_nrpe 127.0.0.1 -V 2 -c check_disk_gen -a "-w 50000 -c 10000 -p /dev/ad0s1e" And the effect is that /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk is invoked with the -w 50000 -c 10000 -p /dev/ad0s1e as the argument string. For example: ~/nagios/nrpe-1.5.new/src>./check_nrpe 127.0.0.1 -V 2 -c check_disk_gen -a "-w 50000 -c 10000 -p /dev/ad0s1e" DISK OK - [1484108 kB (9%) free on /dev/ad0s1e] ~/nagios/nrpe-1.5.new/src> I think this is really useful and would greatly reduce the size of the nrpe.cfg and, more importantly, would reduce the number of times you'd need to modify that configuration file. Instead the modifications would occur on the centralized Nagios server's configuration file. What does everyone think?

(Sent to stderr if standalone, else sent to syslog if running under (x)inetd). It should scream loud and clear if it's started under root; preferably it would simply not run as root, full stop. - Perhaps a reference to implementing NRPE with stunnel (and only permitting connections from localhost, as defined in nrpe.cfg) would be desireable. I'm not a security guru, but it seems to me that facilitating this feature would open oneself up to a buffer overflow attack. If you're on a trusted network, it's a non-issue. On a related note, I'd be much more comfy with this feature if there were a facility to enforce some level of native encryption, such as what NSCA uses.

I'm not a security expert, so please excuse the somewhat basic question. The struct packet as defined in common/common.h has an argv member which is a character array of length 2048. I believe this means that if the incoming packet has an argv member whose length is greater than 2048 chars, then the rc=recvall(sock,(char *)&receive_packet,&bytes_to_recv,socket_timeout); should fail, should it not?

How many hosts/services are you guys monitoring, how many people use the web interface, and how's the performance? I have Netsaint (without db support) monitoring 500 machines with about 1700 service checks. I'm using a distributed setup where most (90%) of the checks are done by remote stations and the central unit just does aggregation and display ... and I'm finding that the web interface is basically unusable.

It depends on where you want the mail sent and how it should be delivered (SMTP, SMS etc). If you only want mail delivered 'locally' ie to a user with a login account on the host running Nagios, No. Otherwise probably yes. The first thing to try is send mail to root or postmaster from the CLI - this is a Linux/Unix installation right ? - on the same box as that running Netsaint eg You should see something like this tsitc> echo 'In the beginning was the word and the word was with GOD' | mail postmaster tsitc> tail -2 /var/log/maillog Dec 28 09:41:34 tsitc sendmail[47835]: gBRMfYD5047835: to=postmaster, ctladdr=anwsmh (1001/1001), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30016, relay=localhost.aipo.gov.au.

Provided that Netsaint notify commands are correct, and you use 'unqualified' email addresses (like 'root', 'postmaster', 'ken' etc), a notify command like ... mail -s 'yada subject' ken should result in email being sent to "ken"'s account on the Netsaint host. If you want non local delivery ie to somewhere else, you need to configure your MTA. Here's an example from my Netsaint hosts.cfg with non local delivery contact[anwsmh]=Stanley Hopcroft;24x7;24x7;1;1;0;1;1;0;notify-by-email;host-notify-by-email;Stanley at xena If your MTA is sendmail, then the easiest way to do this is with mailertables. eg tsitc> more /etc/mail/mailertable IPAustralia.gov.au esmtp:ipaustralia.gov.au . esmtp:vmail This means that any mail to Foo at IPAustralia.Gov.AU goes to the MX for IP Australia, otherwise to a box named Vmail (that knows how to deliver to any email address). Don't try this at home !! Do the R&D yourself or hire someone to configure your MTA eg one of the Nagios/Netsaint professional consultants on the Web pages {that is not me by the way] Don't do anything until you are confident that you won't break your organisations mail system etc >I have tested taking > my laptop down and have not received a notification.

Now that it's merrily collecting the data in the serviceretention table, I'm a bit disappointed that my key reason for doing the conversion (trending data) isn't quite supported as I'd hoped. I was hoping it would keep an archive of the ongoing service (and host) performance data. I know there's a compile-time option to do something similar using a file (xpdfile_service_perfdata_file), but if this data were in MySQL, I'd never have to fiddle with stop/rename/start on a periodic basis (eg, once every 24 hours). I'd rather not create a cronjob to read the service retention table just to populate another table every minute, if possible. Am I overlooking something simple, or is the capability just not there today? If the latter, are there any plans to provide this in the foreseeable future? (Ethan?) If I can nail this down, I'll have a more serious go of using PHP/JpGraph to do some ad-hoc trend graphing. jc ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From Jeff.Engstrom at fortix.net Sat Dec 28 00:49:56 2002 From: Jeff.Engstrom at fortix.net (Jeff Engstrom) Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2002 15:49:56 -0800 Subject: Nagios hostgroup options Message-ID: <6DC8CB0C5A67744EB3D89E41BC429F9513088E@fortix-exchange.fortix-office.com> Greetings, Does anyone know if Nagios supports groups within a group?

Most have been touched on in the past on the list, but I'll reiterate them here. The main issue is not overruning the 2K packet that the check_nrpe plugin and NRPE daemon pass back and forth - that can be easily avoided... 1. Users connecting to the NRPE are not authenticated. Sure, you can restrict connection based on IP address using TCP wrappers, but they are still not authenticated. Also, I am not too familiar with IP spoofing, but I'm sure its possible for someone to fake the originating address of the connection and get the NRPE daemon to accept the packet and execute the necessary plugin without too much trouble. 2. Some plugins (like check_dhcp) may (have to) be installed suid root. Regardless of what user the NRPE daemon is running as, these plugins will be executed with higher privs. 3. Plugins can be made to segfault under the right conditions. Sure, we can try and eliminate this possibility, but it will probably always exist to some extent since many plugins call system commands to get their data. --- Most remote exploits rely on buffer overflows/segfaults to get their work done, so allowing unauthenticated users to pass arbitrary arguments/data to plugins that might be running suid commands is a very bad idea indeed. Stunnel would provide some security, but there is no guarantee that everyone would use it. There would undoubtably be many people that would put off implementing it until they finished "testing" NRPE. In the worst case, they might never get around to implementing stunnel at all. In the likely best case scenario, there is at least a window of opportunity. I just don't want to be responsible for the possible carnage that happens at that point. :-) Also, incorporating native encryption into NRPE involves reinventing the wheel called "check_by_ssh", so I'm really interested in doing that.

For this 7 days period, no problems are detected, so nothing was logged.

However, I suspect that there are lots of installations of Nagios and NRPE that run on completely trusted network. (Or the risk of network intrusion through NRPE is worth the benefit of reduced configuration management.) What do you think about incorporating this enhancement but have it turned off by default, and enabled only at configure time? dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Ethan Galstad Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 7:38 PM To: nagios-users Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement There are several reasons why I have not added support for arguments to checks in NRPE. Most have been touched on in the past on the list, but I'll reiterate them here. The main issue is not overruning the 2K packet that the check_nrpe plugin and NRPE daemon pass back and forth - that can be easily avoided... 1. Users connecting to the NRPE are not authenticated. Sure, you can restrict connection based on IP address using TCP wrappers, but they are still not authenticated. Also, I am not too familiar with IP spoofing, but I'm sure its possible for someone to fake the originating address of the connection and get the NRPE daemon to accept the packet and execute the necessary plugin without too much trouble. 2. Some plugins (like check_dhcp) may (have to) be installed suid root. Regardless of what user the NRPE daemon is running as, these plugins will be executed with higher privs. 3. Plugins can be made to segfault under the right conditions. Sure, we can try and eliminate this possibility, but it will probably always exist to some extent since many plugins call system commands to get their data. --- Most remote exploits rely on buffer overflows/segfaults to get their work done, so allowing unauthenticated users to pass arbitrary arguments/data to plugins that might be running suid commands is a very bad idea indeed. Stunnel would provide some security, but there is no guarantee that everyone would use it. There would undoubtably be many people that would put off implementing it until they finished "testing" NRPE. In the worst case, they might never get around to implementing stunnel at all. In the likely best case scenario, there is at least a window of opportunity. I just don't want to be responsible for the possible carnage that happens at that point. :-) Also, incorporating native encryption into NRPE involves reinventing the wheel called "check_by_ssh", so I'm really interested in doing that.

It only takes 1 security breach via a plugin to completely destroy the good name Nagios and its associated plugins have. There is a good truism that states "good news travels fast, but bad news travels even faster" I for one would not be too happy having a command available on my network, trusted or not that would allow commands to be executed remotely pon a box. For one. It?s the kind of thing im always looking for when im "playing on my " networks. Well that?s my two cents worth Cheers Tom Welsh twelsh at square-box.com -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Dave Viner Sent: 28 December 2002 21:46 To: Ethan Galstad; nagios-users Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement These are excellent arguments for not incorporating the enhancement I am suggesting. However, I suspect that there are lots of installations of Nagios and NRPE that run on completely trusted network. (Or the risk of network intrusion through NRPE is worth the benefit of reduced configuration management.) What do you think about incorporating this enhancement but have it turned off by default, and enabled only at configure time? dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Ethan Galstad Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 7:38 PM To: nagios-users Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement There are several reasons why I have not added support for arguments to checks in NRPE. Most have been touched on in the past on the list, but I'll reiterate them here. The main issue is not overruning the 2K packet that the check_nrpe plugin and NRPE daemon pass back and forth - that can be easily avoided... 1. Users connecting to the NRPE are not authenticated. Sure, you can restrict connection based on IP address using TCP wrappers, but they are still not authenticated. Also, I am not too familiar with IP spoofing, but I'm sure its possible for someone to fake the originating address of the connection and get the NRPE daemon to accept the packet and execute the necessary plugin without too much trouble. 2. Some plugins (like check_dhcp) may (have to) be installed suid root. Regardless of what user the NRPE daemon is running as, these plugins will be executed with higher privs. 3. Plugins can be made to segfault under the right conditions. Sure, we can try and eliminate this possibility, but it will probably always exist to some extent since many plugins call system commands to get their data. --- Most remote exploits rely on buffer overflows/segfaults to get their work done, so allowing unauthenticated users to pass arbitrary arguments/data to plugins that might be running suid commands is a very bad idea indeed. Stunnel would provide some security, but there is no guarantee that everyone would use it. There would undoubtably be many people that would put off implementing it until they finished "testing" NRPE. In the worst case, they might never get around to implementing stunnel at all. In the likely best case scenario, there is at least a window of opportunity. I just don't want to be responsible for the possible carnage that happens at that point. :-) Also, incorporating native encryption into NRPE involves reinventing the wheel called "check_by_ssh", so I'm really interested in doing that.

I'd like some input how how they deal with this.

Erm... did you mean to say "I'm really interested"? The context would imply that you meant that you're not. :^) Having said that, I would agree that implementing crypto in NRPE would be something of a duplication of effort.

I'm just a beginner Perl user so excuse my mess! I use 1 script to send pages to my phone, with automated replies(so I don?t have to type on my phone) and then 2 scripts that are executed on the replies from my phone via e-mail. Currently I can acknowledge hosts/services, Dis/enable notifications, get current stats, and restart nagios. If during any point of the snpp page fails, the page is sent via modem by qpage, this doesn?t allow for 2way paging..L See the install.doc for details, I'll try and help, but there's no garuentee! --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

It only takes 1 security breach via a plugin to completely destroy the good name Nagios and its associated plugins have. There is a good truism that states "good news travels fast, but bad news travels even faster" I for one would not be too happy having a command available on my network, trusted or not that would allow commands to be executed remotely pon a box.

However, I suspect that there are lots of installations of Nagios and NRPE that run on completely trusted network.

What do you think about incorporating this enhancement but have it turned off by default, and enabled only at configure time? dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Ethan Galstad Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 7:38 PM To: nagios-users Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement There are several reasons why I have not added support for arguments to checks in NRPE. Most have been touched on in the past on the list, but I'll reiterate them here. The main issue is not overruning the 2K packet that the check_nrpe plugin and NRPE daemon pass back and forth - that can be easily avoided... 1. Users connecting to the NRPE are not authenticated. Sure, you can restrict connection based on IP address using TCP wrappers, but they are still not authenticated. Also, I am not too familiar with IP spoofing, but I'm sure its possible for someone to fake the originating address of the connection and get the NRPE daemon to accept the packet and execute the necessary plugin without too much trouble. 2. Some plugins (like check_dhcp) may (have to) be installed suid root. Regardless of what user the NRPE daemon is running as, these plugins will be executed with higher privs. 3. Plugins can be made to segfault under the right conditions. Sure, we can try and eliminate this possibility, but it will probably always exist to some extent since many plugins call system commands to get their data. --- Most remote exploits rely on buffer overflows/segfaults to get their work done, so allowing unauthenticated users to pass arbitrary arguments/data to plugins that might be running suid commands is a very bad idea indeed. Stunnel would provide some security, but there is no guarantee that everyone would use it. There would undoubtably be many people that would put off implementing it until they finished "testing" NRPE. In the worst case, they might never get around to implementing stunnel at all. In the likely best case scenario, there is at least a window of opportunity. I just don't want to be responsible for the possible carnage that happens at that point. :-) Also, incorporating native encryption into NRPE involves reinventing the wheel called "check_by_ssh", so I'm really interested in doing that.

Giving a newbie a Linux distro on CD-ROM and letting him install it and connect it to an untrusted network is an accident waiting to happen. Arguably a much bigger accident. I would argue that having the 'enhanced' version squawk with something like: WARNING!!!! You have started a non-default version of NRPE which is considered less secure than the default version! Unless this is being run on a trusted network, it is STRONGLY recommended you recompile NRPE with the default options! (Refer to the README included in the original tarball.) each and every time it's started will tend to be noticed by most somewhat-security-aware sysadmins, I would think. > It only takes 1 security breach via a plugin to completely destroy the > good name Nagios and its associated plugins have. Hmm. 'Via a plugin'? Yeah alright, I can see that, if it's running with suid. I don't see that as an inherent risk with check_by_ssh, since that would depend on the SSH installation. (If you really wanted to, you could get pretty lame with SSH.) Security of the Nagios host itself would depend on locking it down, of course, and making sure you're not running a 'Swiss cheese' http server. The Nagios processes (if the docs are followed to the letter) run under user nagios, not root, or any other UID 0 account. What about NSClient? No crypto, no SSH option, no restrict-by-IP option in the client's config. Sure, you can use stunnel, but you still have to have a port open on the Windows client, and there's no way to restrict it to 127.0.0.1, short of adding a software firewall solution. (My apologies to the Windows gurus on the list if such a feature currently exists.) > There is a good truism that states "good news travels fast, > but bad news > travels even faster" "Everything in moderation, even moderation." -- Buddha > I for one would not be too happy having a command available on my > network, trusted or not that would allow commands to be executed > remotely pon a box. For one. It's the kind of thing im always looking > for when im "playing on my " networks. We have at least one command available for executing commands remotely. It's called ssh. Alright, I'm being the devil's advocate here. :^) All I'm saying is, perhaps it should be the sysadmin's choice whether he/she wants to install something considered more secure or less secure than what his/her bretheren/sisters are using. I still cringe when I find out someone wishes to enable telnetd. If the application boldly states that it's running in a less secure configuration than can be had and the sysadmin boldly accepts that risk, so be it. Nothing's stopping anyone from running rshd/rlogind/rexecd with "+" in hosts.equiv, for example, and unless you pick up a book on UNIX security, it may not occur to you what the risks are. Certainly the r-daemons don't give you any such warning. I personally wouldn't implement the 'enhanced' version of NRPE, but so long as the appropriate caveats were in place, I don't see why someone else shouldn't be given the chance. If it appears that I'm sitting on the fence, that's because I am. Creativity means growth; stifling creativity would eventually sound the death knell of any software development. There will always be some risk if a system is powered up and connected to a network. Security holes come about as the results of poor coding or design oversights, a.k.a. 'bugs'. Any non-trivial piece of code will have bugs. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it's not possible to prove that a given piece of code is bug-free; failure to find a bug does not constitute proof that the code is clean, whereas finding a bug proves the trivial case that at least one bug exists. It might be an interesting exercise to continue to enhance NRPE, even adding trivial security such as password authentication, rot13, identd support.... *shrug* Perhaps Mr. Viner would rise to the challenge...? > Well that's my two cents worth Add my $0.015 to the pile. :^) jc > Cheers > > Tom Welsh > twelsh at square-box.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Dave > Viner > Sent: 28 December 2002 21:46 > To: Ethan Galstad; nagios-users > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement > > These are excellent arguments for not incorporating the > enhancement I am > suggesting.

I found that there already exists command called "check-host-alive", so I am using that one. Also, I found that my problem was with syntax how I called plugin. Besides, another problem was that I was trying to ping though firewall. I can use Nagios to ping any computer on the network now. It works fine. Giedrius ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Bilder" To: ; Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] How to make Nagios ping recompile Nagios without the ping option. It worked great! >>> "Giedrius Astrauskas" 12/30/02 10:11AM >>> Hi, I am sure that there must be an easy solution to this, because when I was using NSCA, Nagios was pinging every time the NSCA client did not return OK message. However, now I am attempting to simply make Nagios ping the client computer without having installed anything (no NSCA, no NRPE, no plugins)on client computer. I inlcuded client computer in hosts.cfg, also I created new service entry in services.cfg: define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name zsbld07 service_description CheckPing is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups windows-admins notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_ping_m } then I created command in checkcommands.cfg: # 'check_ping_m' command definition define command{ command_name check_ping_m command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H -w 5000 -c 10000 -p 5 } I installed plugins and above syntax I got from check_ping plugin's help. However, when I run Nagios, it displays the status of the above service as "UNKNOWN". Does it mean that I cannot simply make Nagios ping client computer wihtout having anything installed on client? Sorry, if the question sounds simple - I am still in the process of trying to understand how Nagios works. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Well that?s my two cents worth Cheers Tom Welsh twelsh at square-box.com -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Dave Viner Sent: 28 December 2002 21:46 To: Ethan Galstad; nagios-users Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement These are excellent arguments for not incorporating the enhancement I am suggesting. However, I suspect that there are lots of installations of Nagios and NRPE that run on completely trusted network.

What do you think about incorporating this enhancement but have it turned off by default, and enabled only at configure time? dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Ethan Galstad Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 7:38 PM To: nagios-users Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement There are several reasons why I have not added support for arguments to checks in NRPE. Most have been touched on in the past on the list, but I'll reiterate them here. The main issue is not overruning the 2K packet that the check_nrpe plugin and NRPE daemon pass back and forth - that can be easily avoided... 1. Users connecting to the NRPE are not authenticated. Sure, you can restrict connection based on IP address using TCP wrappers, but they are still not authenticated. Also, I am not too familiar with IP spoofing, but I'm sure its possible for someone to fake the originating address of the connection and get the NRPE daemon to accept the packet and execute the necessary plugin without too much trouble. 2. Some plugins (like check_dhcp) may (have to) be installed suid root. Regardless of what user the NRPE daemon is running as, these plugins will be executed with higher privs. 3. Plugins can be made to segfault under the right conditions. Sure, we can try and eliminate this possibility, but it will probably always exist to some extent since many plugins call system commands to get their data. --- Most remote exploits rely on buffer overflows/segfaults to get their work done, so allowing unauthenticated users to pass arbitrary arguments/data to plugins that might be running suid commands is a very bad idea indeed. Stunnel would provide some security, but there is no guarantee that everyone would use it. There would undoubtably be many people that would put off implementing it until they finished "testing" NRPE. In the worst case, they might never get around to implementing stunnel at all. In the likely best case scenario, there is at least a window of opportunity. I just don't want to be responsible for the possible carnage that happens at that point. :-) Also, incorporating native encryption into NRPE involves reinventing the wheel called "check_by_ssh", so I'm really interested in doing that.

Ah well, it was an interesting exercise, nonetheless. Alright, this brings me full circle back to working with: xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log Nagios logs to this file. But it never closes the file, so renaming the file before slurping it into a Perl script won't help matters. I suppose I could have a cronjob do a rename then stop/start Nagios, but I'd like to slurp the data every 5 mins; bouncing Nagios every 5 mins seems excessive. I suppose I could just leave serviceperf.log alone and just use seek/tell, but at some point serviceperf.log will get large enough that I'll want to reset it to 0 bytes, which will then mean I'll have to restart Nagios anyway; however, any data written since the last slurp until the file is reset will be lost. I'm trying to think this one through as I type. Ideally, Nagios would dump this directly to MySQL, but since database support is going away, that approach should be discouraged. Perhaps Nagios could close serviceperf.log between writes, which would eliminate the filehandle problem. I suppose I could slurp serviceperf.log and immediately reset it to 0 bytes ("cat /dev/null > /usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log"), but I still feel there's a risk that a bit of data will be lost. It might be an acceptable risk, all things considered.

This is where NRPE has the advantage. check_by_ssh has the advantage when it comes to punching through a firewall, assuming that an appropriate port is open. Sure, you could open port 5666 for NRPE, but has has been discussed, that doesn't quite leave the same warm fuzzies.

I'd like some input how how they deal with this. I am unsure if Nextel has an # specifically for automated paging, so if I assume they don't, I can have it simply call and just leave dead silence on the phone and I just check the caller id and know that particular # it's calling from is only for my alerts.

As a result, many service checks take a long time to complete (4-5 minutes in some cases). To try and debug this I attached strace to several of them, and got very similar output every time. Here is a sample: write(7, "servername\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 504) = 504 ------------------ insert long pause here ---------------------------- close(7) = 0 _exit(0) = ? All of the processes that seem to take a long time to complete seem to be waiting on IO somewhere, since the write call takes quite a while to complete. I can't seem to figure out which file they are writing to here.

Message-ID: <12C7D768CC8ED4118A9200508BEEC6FB02CB4102@zanexch.zantaz.com> I've installed a distributed environment.. 2 distributed servers polling a variety of clients with 1 central server. Everything is received passively by the central server. Seems to be working now as I fine tune it, but for some reason a couple of the servers are flagged RED, even though all their services are GREEN under "service detail" view. Under "host detail", some have a status of "down" with status information "CRITICAL - plugin timed out after 10 seconds"... some have a status of "UNREACHABLE" with status information "CRITICAL - plugin timed out after 10 seconds". The last check column is very recent within a few minutes or so.. Why is this occurring? Doesn't make sense to me since under service view everything is GREEN.. Course some of the services in service view have old times for "last checked". Why is service detail view not as current or what might be going on here? Weird..

(Imagine 500 machines all of which have 5 disks, and different check_disk arguments for each. That's 2500 configuration lines that need to be maintained over 500 machines in 500 files.) Perhaps there is room for something more secure than the current nrpe, but more scalable than check_by_ssh. Does that seem reasonable? If so, does anyone have suggestions for low cost security implementations that could enhance the security of nrpe without the cost of ssh? dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 10:49 AM To: 'nagios-users' Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement The general consensus is that check_by_ssh isn't a solution which will scale well, due to the nature of the number-crunching crypto beast. This is where NRPE has the advantage. check_by_ssh has the advantage when it comes to punching through a firewall, assuming that an appropriate port is open. Sure, you could open port 5666 for NRPE, but has has been discussed, that doesn't quite leave the same warm fuzzies.

I am unsure if Nextel has an # specifically for automated paging, so if I assume they don't, I can have it simply call and just leave dead silence on the phone and I just check the caller id and know that particular # it's calling from is only for my alerts. This seems very lacking however. Any advice would be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users _____ Do you Yahoo!?

On the central Nagios server, it would sign the request using a private key, then on the remote machine, it would verify the signature using the public key. I don't know exactly how that compares to check_by_ssh with respect to scalablity, but it is one possible way of verifying the origin of a request. dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Dave Viner Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 12:43 PM To: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]; 'nagios-users' Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement Ok, so check_by_ssh doesn't scale well, and nrpe is scalable cpu-wise, but has problems configuration-wise. (Imagine 500 machines all of which have 5 disks, and different check_disk arguments for each. That's 2500 configuration lines that need to be maintained over 500 machines in 500 files.) Perhaps there is room for something more secure than the current nrpe, but more scalable than check_by_ssh. Does that seem reasonable? If so, does anyone have suggestions for low cost security implementations that could enhance the security of nrpe without the cost of ssh? dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 10:49 AM To: 'nagios-users' Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement The general consensus is that check_by_ssh isn't a solution which will scale well, due to the nature of the number-crunching crypto beast. This is where NRPE has the advantage. check_by_ssh has the advantage when it comes to punching through a firewall, assuming that an appropriate port is open. Sure, you could open port 5666 for NRPE, but has has been discussed, that doesn't quite leave the same warm fuzzies.

But, I think I figured out the problem. All of these writes were waiting to write to the file descriptor that the master Nagios process reads for status. I think that some buffer was filling up and these children processes were having to wait for the master process to clean out the FIFO before they could write to it. By adjusting the 'service_reaper_frequency', I was able to get rid of the problem.

Here is a sample: write(7, "servername\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 504) = 504 ------------------ insert long pause here ---------------------------- close(7) = 0 _exit(0) = ?

To take a page out of www.infrastructures.org, it's desireable to maintain a convergence, not divergence, among the various systems. Homogeneity is A Good Thing ?. Having said that, rather than maintaining 500 config files, why not maintain a single config file containing all the similar and dissimilar config particulars? Edit that one file, and either push it out from a trusted host ("gold server", in Infrastructures.org parlance). Better still, set up an rsync server (or some other server that you can live with, and set up a cron job to pull down the latest nrpe.cfg file. (As has been emphasized on their list, pull, never push. But take your pick. :) In our location, I maintain a single nrpe.cfg file, complete with all the unique disk definitions. I'm not sure if it matters to you, but for the most part, I've elected to use the percentage option of check_disk. 5% free on the root partition of an 18GB disk isn't going to be a whole lot different from 5% free on root of a 36GB disk. Sure, mathematically they're different, so if exacting differences is critical in your environment, create unique definitions for the different root partitions. (I'm also specifying mount points, not device filenames.) On a related note, we have partitions on our database servers which follow a fairly straightforward naming scheme for the mount points, and since I don't expect those partitions to change, I can either exclude them, or I can set a trivial threshold for each of the warning and critical, but in those cases I specify kbytes. (I do the latter; this lets anyone with the appropriate permissions at the web interface view all the defined partitions.) [Sidebar: I noticed at one point that there's a limit to the length of the command token in nrpe.cfg. As a result, I simplified all the names. Lesson learned: Be economical with the keystrokes.] If you like, I can send you the nrpe.cfg file that I install on all our hosts. You might find that instead of one master nrpe.cfg file, that you'd rather manage a handful of dissimilar files. Might still want to use the gold/config server, as above.

They both use MySQL for all data (ie: --with-mysql-xdata) The production network has 34 hosts and 429 services. The development network has 28 hosts and 211 services. On both networks I've seen the nagios process creep from using 6MB of RAM to over 64MB of RAM over about a week's time. The custom perl scripts that perform service checks using Net::SNMP and SNMPv3 work well - they pass 'use strict' without problems and run sucessfully from mini_epn. One minor problem with mini_epn is that because my code properly calls alarm($TIMEOUT), mini_epn never hangs around very long. Are there any suggestions for finding memory leaks in ePN? (I'm going to be looking at Apache::Leak and Devel::Leak, but there might be other debug options in nagios I'm not aware of).

"You should also be conscious that embedding Perl into an application will increase its size and memory usage, possibly introducing memory leaks or instabilities if you aren't careful .." Couzins and Jennings, 'Extending and Embedding Perl'. That said, I have been using ePN sans DB support for over a year monitoring ~ 190 hosts and ~ 350 services without too many hassles. My memory usage is about the same as yours, 1514 nagios 10 0 57056K 29928K nanslp 152:44 0.00% 0.00% nagios However, I do like to restart Nagios each month after log rotation. I am starting to take an unhealthy interest in XS so it's possible that books like those above will shed some new light on the Perl embedding in Nagios. > The custom perl scripts that > perform service checks using Net::SNMP and SNMPv3 work well Neat.

Message-ID: <009a01c2b0d1$e5875420$cd1b9642@atlp.aismedia.com> I've just started using Nagios after one of the admins just before he left installed in our network to monitor all of our servers. My boss approached me yesterday evening wondering whether it's possible to extract some of the data for our clients to see if there are any outages or issues. I don't see it being a problem though the layout of and presentation of Nagios is constricted in the CGI coding and the stylesheets can only make so much of a difference. So I'm considering of recoding Nagios's front end with a template back end for flexibility, but I really don't want to be digging too much into a hole then realizing that certain things cannot be done in PHP which was why it was written in C from the start. Has anyone done anything using PHP and Nagios? There are a few things that would probably PHP was not really suited best for such as the status map feature, but if the data is stored somewhere parseable or better yet, in a database, there could be some really neat things we could do. . . What's the main role of the CGI code in Nagios? Regards, Jonathan Chum Systems Developer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A I S M e d i a , I n c .

Current documentation indicated hostgroup_name can only be used with a hostgroup escalation ,not a regular host. Is this being changed or is the documentation wrong?

I'm using net-snmp on mostly Solaris 7, with a few 2.6 holdovers. However, I hope it gets adopted sooner, and by more vendors. It was blessed by the IETF in early 2002, and not much progress has been made as of yet. I believe that check_snmp will be supporting SNMPv3 shortly, but my scripts walk entire tables and collate the data (ie: check space by partition location - /usr/local - and not by OID). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My problem: I want to let nagios to check anti virus datfiles on remote systems. Now i do this dat each remote system fetch the latest version info (800k) and verifies the version info, to the installed version (no update is done). The plugin reports OK if datfile is uptodate, warning when 1 version behind and ERROR if more than 1 version behind (or installed version is newer then the official downloadable). The problem is that every client fetches the 800k just for verify the version number (4 bytes number). I have the lastest version info on the nagios host system (in a file, just 4 bytes in size). Is it possible to add this info from a file to the service check, so that the version number is given to te remote host (by nrpe or chack_by_ssh). The remote host doesn't have to access a remote host (internet) for the current information.
