My $0.05.
$USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1755 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
=20
It checks that you can make a TCP connection to the Windows Media =
Streaming server.
=20
I think that writing a decent plug-in for Windows Media would be very =
difficult, cause the MMS protocoll is 'closed' and heavily copywrited.
=20
I guess that if someone managed to write a plug-in and implement the =
protocoll, it couldnt not be published without payin' some heavy dues to =
Microsoft, and that plug-in could not be OpenSource.
=20
I guess that if someone figured out what to send and what to expect as =
answere, you could use the check_tcp plugin -s and/or -e switches..

Well, I'm drawing the conclusion after talking with some streaming =
specialists that sending a DESCRIBE method to the streaming server =
should do the trick.
=09
A successful try indicates that you got a two-way connection to/from
=
the server, the file you're searching for (on, for example an ondemand =
server) exists, and the server can send you a description of the file.
=09
The people I've talked to cannot see any problems that should hinder
an =
actual stream from taking place after the server successfully answered =
to the DESCRIBE method.
=09
Though, I'm still doing some research on this. I'll prolly know in =
acouple of days, should this not be the case.
=09
I'll send a mail to the list, when I know more. :-)

I'm trying to figure out what exactly the check_real plugin
=
checks.. using the -url option, does it actually start a stream with the =
server? Or does it only check if the .rm file is there and reachable? If =
check_real only checks for a description of the file, is it enough to =
say that the service is OK?
=09
=20
=09
I dumped the conversation (tcpdump -X) while doing:
=09
./check_real -H host -u /url/file.rm
=09

=09
I'm not 100% sure what happens..
=09
Though.. I've been able to understand some stuff..

After this Nagios (the Netsaint host) sends win 0, and =
finilizes the connection.

Now, the question is.. what did the check_real plugin test?
=
That you can get an description of a file on the server?
=09
The author of the plug-in writes in his source code =
(check_real.c).

/* Part II - Check stream exists and is ok */

/* Part I - Server Check */
=09
=20

/* send the OPTIONS request */
sprintf (buffer, "DESCRIBE rtsp://%s:%d%s =

result =3D send (sd, buffer, strlen

/* send the header sync */

result =3D send (sd, buffer, strlen

=09

=09
/* send a newline so the server knows we're
=
done with the request */
sprintf (buffer, "\n");
result =3D send (sd, buffer, strlen

=09
=20
=09
DESCRIBE seems to be the last actuall command that the =
check_real plugin send to the server.
=09
But I could be wrong.. please check for yourselfs.
=09
=20
=09
An actual stream is from what I can tell, not initialized..
=09
Though, if the server give an description of the file (the =
description comes from the file itself) I guess a stream should
=09
be able to be initialized.. but.. then again, I'm no TCP/IP
or =
RTSP expert.

authentication
Hello,
You can do it by this command:
./check_tcp -H HostIP -p 80
This 80 port is used if you are using the default web service else you
have to specify the respective port.
This you can check from the command prompt and then use the check_tcp
command with the argument as:
check_tcp!80!warning!critical

Subject: [Nagios-users] Configuring nrpe
Good morning all...
I need a little help in configureing a check for nrpe... the one thing
that has me stumped is how to check a process that is started by /bin/sh
specifically mysqld.
I have tried the following in nrpe.cfg:
command[check_mysql]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w2: -c 1: -C
'/bin/sh /usr/bin/safe_mysqld'
command[check_mysql]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w2: -c 1: -C
"/bin/sh /usr/bin/safe_mysqld"
command[check_mysql]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w2: -c 1: -C
`/bin/sh /usr/bin/safe_mysqld`
command[check_mysql]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w2: -c 1: -C
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld
command[check_mysql]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w2: -c 1: -C
/bin/sh\ /usr/bin/safe_mysqld
and none of these worked...
here is what mysql looks like to ps:
28887 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/safe_mysqld
--defaults-file=/etc/my.
28914 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/mysqld
--defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf -
28916 ? S 0:16 \_ /usr/libexec/mysqld
--defaults-file=/etc/my.c
28917 ? S 1:29 \_ /usr/libexec/mysqld
--defaults-file=/etc/
I have even tried it wiht the child process names as well...
since this is a server that is constantly tweaked, just using the
process number would be futile, as it changes at least once a week...
so could someone point me in the right direction to getting this checked???
Thanks!
Jeff

You should be able to use "-C /bin/sh -a /usr/bin/safe_mysqld"
note the ps on the command line probably has different defaults than ps in
check_procs. Take look at your config.h for PS_COMMAND.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Mail FROM field needs to be changed
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
------=_NextPart_000_01F4_01C3059B.BD889320
Content-Type: text/plain;

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello,
I apologize if this was discussed already in this list, but since I just
signed up I did not know.
My problem is when nagios is sending email notifications it includes the
entire hostname in MAIL FROM field (i.e. nagios at hostname.domainname.com).
There is no problem when I send an email using PINE from nagios user, so my
sendmail is configured properly.
This is a problem for me because some email servers lookup the MX record of
the domain name and refuse email if it does not match.
ADMINEMAIL in nagios.cfg is nagios at myrealdomainname.com, but nagios still
puts the hostname in the FROM field.
Could anyone tell me where I can configure it?
Thanks,
Val

SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib

I'm not convinced that your sendmail config is blameless. Try the
following:
# su - nagios
$ echo 'hello' | /usr/lib/sendmail val at nycity.com <mailto:val at nycity.com>
Let us know what the FROM header looks like on the receiving end.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Mail FROM field needs to be changed
Hello,
I apologize if this was discussed already in this list, but since I just
signed up I did not know.
My problem is when nagios is sending email notifications it includes the
entire hostname in MAIL FROM field (i.e. nagios at hostname.domainname.com
<mailto:nagios at hostname.domainname.com> ). There is no problem when I send
an email using PINE from nagios user, so my sendmail is configured properly.
This is a problem for me because some email servers lookup the MX record of
the domain name and refuse email if it does not match.
ADMINEMAIL in nagios.cfg is nagios at myrealdomainname.com
<mailto:nagios at myrealdomainname.com> , but nagios still puts the hostname in
the FROM field.
Could anyone tell me where I can configure it?
Thanks,
Val

Is hostname.domainname.com in both forward _and_ reverse DNS? Do they
match? Some mail configurations will reject mail from hosts that do not
match. Also, is your IP a dialup/DSL or in some RBL listed IP range?

Subject: [Nagios-users] acknowledgements in config files
Hi,
I've come to rely on the ntray tool heavily to let
me know the status of multiple systems at a glance.
This tool shows red, yellow, green in your system
tray.
My problem is that occasionally I have systems that
are out of service for a couple of days for repairs,
etc. I don't want to rip out the configs for these or
comment out all of the services.
How do I easily shut down the monitoring of these
services for a particular system using the config
files without removing/commenting all of the entries?
TIA
-Mark

Ummmmm, You are right. My bad. That's embarrassing.

It works using PINE, but not from the command line.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Configuring still
Oddly enough, I tried changing the command bit to mysqld and it
worked... weird... and changing it to just safe_mysqld worked as well...
Here is another problem however...
I have also put nrpe on a web server and I am getting problems iwth the
checks timing out automatically...
Here is what the GUI shows:
webgnostics
Cobalt Admin Status
CRITICAL 04-18-2003 14:26:25 0d 0h 38m 1s 3/3
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
Current Load
CRITICAL 04-18-2003 14:26:48 0d 0h 37m 41s 3/3
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
Current Users
CRITICAL 04-18-2003 14:27:10 0d 0h 37m 11s 3/3
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
and there are many others... what causes this? If I run the check_nrpe
commands by hand, each and every one works perfectly... HOWEVER when
they are run by nagios automatically, they all fail...
This failure is ONLY occuring for this one host. I checked service.cfg
and hosts.cfg and everthing seems to be correct in each of them
Any thoughts?

Do you have the correct port number configured?
Does the command line and configure syntax match?

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Re: Configuring nrpe
Yep...
to try it manually, I am merely copying the configured commands and
filling in the blanks...
for example... to check the disk
I am using:
check_nrpe -H ip.of.host.machine -p portIchose -c check_disk1
which gives me a correct response...
however setting it automatically does not work... it isnt that just one
or two things arent working for this host... Ic ould probably figure
that out on my own... but the problem is that ALL checks are failing on
this one host, even though I can do each and every one of them from
command line and have them work.
I am pretty sure its not in the syntax either, since a good number of
these checks are being run on some other machines as well, and are
working fine on those machines. (for example the check_disk command,
check_sshd command, and some other commands I have been using for
general service checks).
Cheers

I asked a similar question months ago. IIRC, the author said there's not
much he can do, until Nagios can provide XML on the interface. Something
like this.
Sorry for being vague, but if you really need the e-mail in question, I can
try to dig it out.

You may have tweaked your pine config to force the FROM address.
As for sendmail, depending on what version of sendmail you're running, it
could be a simple tweak. Edit /etc/sendmail.cf and search for 'masquerade'
or '^DM' (without the quotes) and change accordingly. Here's a sample tweak
from my sendmail.cf file for one of my Linux hosts (lines 138-139) running
sendmail version 8.11.6:
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DMsprintspectrum.com
HTH.

Ummmmm, You are right. My bad. That's embarrassing.
It works using PINE, but not from the command line.
Don't know what is going on. Thanks and sorry I took your time.

I'm not convinced that your sendmail config is blameless. Try the
following:
# su - nagios
$ echo 'hello' | /usr/lib/sendmail val at nycity.com <mailto:val at nycity.com>
Let us know what the FROM header looks like on the receiving end.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Mail FROM field needs to be changed
Hello,
I apologize if this was discussed already in this list, but since I just
signed up I did not know.
My problem is when nagios is sending email notifications it includes the
entire hostname in MAIL FROM field (i.e. nagios at hostname.domainname.com
<mailto:nagios at hostname.domainname.com> ). There is no problem when I send
an email using PINE from nagios user, so my sendmail is configured properly.
This is a problem for me because some email servers lookup the MX record of
the domain name and refuse email if it does not match.
ADMINEMAIL in nagios.cfg is nagios at myrealdomainname.com
<mailto:nagios at myrealdomainname.com> , but nagios still puts the hostname in
the FROM field.
Could anyone tell me where I can configure it?
Thanks,
Val

Subject: [Nagios-users] incredible disappearing host
Greetings all.
I am running Nagios 1.0, RH Linux 7.3, Compaq DL360 1.2GHz
Nagios has been working fine for quite a long while. Recently we added =
about 30 additional servers with two services each to monitor. There is =
a total of 62 hosts and 125 services being monitored. In addition, I am =
also running MRTG/RRDTool on the same machine and it's gathering data =
from something like 800-1000 interfaces. The systems is getting fairly =
busy.
What happens is this. I added a new server and 3 services to be =
monitored. When I start Nagios, the new server will sometimes not appear =
on the hosts or services screen. Doing a view config > hosts it's =
definately there and is configured the same as many other servers. =
Restarting Nagios or refreshing the browser will sometimes bring it back =
but it will eventually disappear again. This happens from multiple =
browsers or clients. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Weird.
Thanks for the help.

Yup. Verify that you don't have multiple copies of nagios running.
