Edward,

Here is a script (check_share) that I wrote that uses smbclient to check 
shares on Windows hosts:


#!/bin/bash

IPADDRESS=$1
SHARE=$2

smbclient //$IPADDRESS/$SHARE <password> -U <username> -W <workgroup> -c 
"exit" &> /dev/null

if [ $? = "0" ]; then
    EXIT="0" && STDIO="At IP $IPADDRESS, share: \"$SHARE\" present."
else
    EXIT="2" && STDIO="Could not list share: \"$SHARE\" on $IPADDRESS"
fi

echo $STDIO
exit $EXIT


HTH,
Greg

Subject: SNMP Support for Nagios
Message-ID: <B8AF96534149164F9B6FEF5280B2C7AF026111@CUP1-EXBE1.portal.com>

Hello,

 

I was wondering if any one could point me to a FAQ on adding SNMP support to
Nagios?  So far I have been unsuccessful getting it to work.

 

I am running Nagios 1.1 on Red Hat 9.0 using the 1.3.1-5 plug-in RPMs built
by DAG Wieers.  

 

There are a number of dependencies for the check_snmp command such as
net-snmp which requires a number of perl modules.  I have installed most of
the perl modules but am getting hung up on perl(Term::ReadKey) and perl (Tk)
module missing.  I have downloaded perl(Term::ReadKey) from Red Hat but am
unable to install and I can not find the perl (Tk) module.

 

Can any one point me to an alternate source for Perl RPM's?

 

Sorry if this is a clueless newbie question.  I am more of a network guy
that a linux guy... :-)

 

Thank you

	Hello,

	 

	I was wondering if any one could point me to a FAQ on adding SNMP support to Nagios?  So far I have been unsuccessful getting it to work.

	 

	I am running Nagios 1.1 on Red Hat 9.0 using the 1.3.1-5 plug-in RPMs built by DAG Wieers.  

	 

	There are a number of dependencies for the check_snmp command such as net-snmp which requires a number of perl modules.  I have installed most of the perl modules but am getting hung up on perl(Term::ReadKey) and perl (Tk) module missing.  I have downloaded perl(Term::ReadKey) from Red Hat but am unable to install and I can not find the perl (Tk) module.

	 

	Can any one point me to an alternate source for Perl RPM?s?

	 

	 

	Install from CPAN instead. No need to go hunting for RPM's.

	 

	/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install Term::Readkey'

	/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install Tk'  (you may be able to get away with -e 'install Term::Readkey Tk'

	 

	or http://www.cpan.org and search for the tarballs. There really is no specific FAQ on installation. net-snmp has it's own installation documentation. After it's installed, run 'make distclean && ./configure && make && make install' in the nagios plugins tarball that you downloaded. configure should automatically deted the net-snmp installation and compile the check_snmp plugin.

I apologize if I'm just blind or dense. I've tried to find the answer to
my question in the Nagios documentation, but that which came with the
program and that on the Web. I've also searched the list archives. But I
may not have a good search term...

I would like to delay paging until an event has occurred more than once
without an intervening recovery. That is, if Nagios checks a host or
service every five minutes, when it finds a problem, it sends notice by
email on the first occurrence, but it does not send a page until the
third consecutive problem.

I'm finding a lot of transient issues. They happen but recover in just a
few minutes. I do want Nagios to detect the problems and log them, for
the record. I just don't want to bother with a page unless the problem
continues for some time.

Is there some way to do this?

Why not use the escalation method, and have nagios send email on the first 
problem, and then 'escalate' on the third occurrence to the pager?

Set up an escalation for the service or services that you want to delay, and
have the initial notification go to bitbucket@ (or another address that just
/dev/null's everything sent to it):

    define service {
    host_name                       hostname.domain.tld
    service_description             SMTP
    check_command                   check_smtp
    use                             service-template
    contact_groups                  nobody
    }
    define serviceescalation{
    host_name                       hostname.domain.tld
    service_description             SMTP
    first_notification              2
    last_notification               5000
    notification_interval           5
    contact_groups                  normal-contact-group
    }

Where 'nobody' has a sole member called 'bitbucket', whose contact address
is 'bitbucket at localhost'.

Perhaps, instead of telling Nagios to not notify you of these things, you
should figure out the source of the transient-ness, and fix that instead?
Just a suggestion.

Dave,

I can give you two solutions, neither of which you may want to implement :P

1. Tell Nagios to log soft state changes (log_service_retries=<0/1> in your 
nagios.cfg) which will result in your history containing all events, and 
modify your services definition so that a service won't move to a hard 
state (and generate notifications) until your definition of 'some time' 
e.g. normal_check_interval 5, retry_check_interval 5, max_check_attempts 3 
- means that a service will be checked every five minutes, when it first 
fails, it will then stay in that soft state for the next 15 minutes ('some 
time' later) then move to a hard state and generate notifications.

2. Use service escalations for your contacts. (See Object Configuration, 
Service Escalation Definitions) e.g. If you want to generate an email on 
the first hard state, then send a page when that hard state remains for 15+ 
minutes, this is possible by defining a contact for email for the first 
hard state, then when the hard state persists for 15+ minutes, escalate the 
notification to a contact that can be paged.

GL,
Greg

Thank you, Quanah, Damian, and Greg. I'm trying escalation; time will
tell if I did it right. But "escalation" seems to have been the key word
I was missing.

Damian asks why I don't fix the true cause. I know the cause: it is
that the machine is overloaded and underpowered. I'm building my case.

Hi

Could someone please give me a few pointer on why mysql would show me 
the following

MY: (-1,-1.000000)


Ive compared the nagios plugins on my other monitoring boxes, and all 
seem fine.

I intially thought it was the mysql.h headers missing, but all seems fine.

Compared the version of mysql on this box, to some of my other boxes, 
and all are running the same version.

Could this be a mysql problem or a nagios problem.

Kind Regards

Hi,

I?m attempting configures check_smb.sh with check_nrpe from the 
nagios-plugins-1.3.1 contrib.
I can successfully run check_smb.sh on the remote machine via command line, 
but I receive a CRC32 error when running the check_smb.sh from the server.
I get this error also for the other scripts in the nagios-plugins contrib. I 
don't have this problem when I run the load, disk space etc.
I am running NRPE Plugin Version: 2.0 in the server and in the remote 
machine.
When I look in the /var/log/messages I don't see any error in the log.

This is the log from /var/log/messages :

Hallo,
i trie to setup nrpe with ?daemon,
but the Problem is, I get allweys this ERROR.

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H RemoteIP-Adress -p 5666 -t 600
-c check_load
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

I have read in the Mailinglist, that many people have the same Problem
.
Me by it is not so easy to stop this ERROR.

Now I like to try to start the nrpe with initd.
But I don?t understand, what I have to write to the initd.conf
and what I have to write to the hosts.allow

I will be verry happy, if somebody can help me to fix this Problem.

Thanks and mutch greatings
Manfred

Subject: reenable notifications
Message-ID: <36342.53.122.192.14.1070271966.squirrel@webmail.ssorgflar.de>

Hi,

I created some host/service entries with notifications disabeld. Now I
want to enable notifications for this hosts/services.

notifications_enabled           1

After doing a reload, nothing changed, the notifications are still disabled.


According to the Retention Notes, I could use

retain_nonstatus_information   0

to enable notifications, but this is not a recommended way.

Is there a better way to reenable, or disable, notifications on 20 hosts,
besides changing options via cgi (Enable notifications for this host &
Enable notifications for all services on this host) for every single
host/service?


tia

Ralf

check_apc_ups.pl does work for me, but this plugin does not seem to obey
"nagios plugin rules" :

Nagios (CVS version) tells me "Current Status : unknown"

Anyone working on this plugin ?? Patches welcome ??

have a nice day !

People,

        Sorry to bring this subject up again, but i still cannot solve 
it...

        Problem: check_log does not send notifications
 
        Description: i'm checking a local a file (/var/log/auth.log), i 
have chmoded it to be readable by others. i have set old file to be same 
to a place where nagios has write permissions. The web interface shows the 
correct info (it shows ok state when nothing happens, and it shows 
critical state when my pattern is found). I have used complex patterns at 
first, and then change to simple patterns, like "BAD" (without the 
quotes), and still not working. Something that i noticed is that 
/var/log/maillog is not even touched when this service reaches critical 
state. Marc has already tried to help, changing the printf command to 
echo, but it doesn't solved the problem...

Message-ID: <6D51028899FFD111A95500805FA74657101656F5@sbkmxsmb04>

That does help in getting a quick and dirty script, so thanks!

What I am also interested in however is the rpc information that is
associated with the windows share...

In other words, what would a proper check using check_rpc be to see the rpc
status of a windows share...

IE, for a un*x box, I could -

check_rpc -H 127.0.0.1 -C nfs

Is there an equivalent in the windows world?

If I'm off / this doesnt make sense, feel free to shoot me a message off the
list.

Thanks,

Edward,

Here is a script (check_share) that I wrote that uses smbclient to check 
shares on Windows hosts:


#!/bin/bash

IPADDRESS=$1
SHARE=$2

smbclient //$IPADDRESS/$SHARE <password> -U <username> -W <workgroup> -c 
"exit" &> /dev/null

if [ $? = "0" ]; then
    EXIT="0" && STDIO="At IP $IPADDRESS, share: \"$SHARE\" present."
else
    EXIT="2" && STDIO="Could not list share: \"$SHARE\" on $IPADDRESS"
fi

echo $STDIO
exit $EXIT


HTH,
Greg

Hi,
 
I've configured nrpe on remote servers but I have a problem when I try
to get a status for disk space.
It works fine for check_users, check_procs, check_ftp, etc but for
check_disk I always get an OK status.
See my manual checks included
 
./check_users -w 30 -c 40                 
USERS CRITICAL - 44 users currently logged in
 
./check_users -w 40 -c 50                
USERS WARNING - 44 users currently logged in
 
./check_users -w 60 -c 80                
USERS OK - 44 users currently logged in
 
./check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3

DISK OK [2158231 kB (52%) free on /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3]
 
Anyone an idea why I get always an OK status back??

Message-ID: <4B63F5F5A4CB934FA82D5393A1D947E5F415C7@s3mail.s3systems.com>

1. Logged in as ?

What is it that I need to change to get the Login name to be displayed on Nagios?  When I enable use_authentication I cannot access any displays even after setting full access to everything under the administrator.

Is there a trick to this? Or am I missing something? Should rights be granted at a file level?

 

NT_CPU LOAD

 

Next question

 

This is what I have under checkcommands.cfg

 

#Check NT CPU LOAD

define command{

        command_name    check_nt_cpuload

        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v CPULOAD -l $ARG1$

        }

 

under services.cfg I have:

 

define service{

        use                                   generic-service         ; Name of service template to use

        host_name                        host

        service_description           NT CPU Load

        is_volatile                         0

        check_period                   24x7

        max_check_attempts        3

        normal_check_interval      3

        retry_check_interval         1

        contact_groups                 nt-admins

        notification_interval           120

        notification_period            24x7

        notification_options           w,u,c,r

        check_command               check_nt_cpuload!10,80,95,60,80,95,1440,80,95

        }

 

 

When I look at my nagios screen after it refreshes I get the following:

 

HOST

 

NT CPU Load

 

UNKNOWN

12-01-2003 08:29:55

5d 21h 23m 20s

3/3

check_nt: Unknown argument: (null)

 

 

Is there something missing here?

 

 

 

Thanks!

God Bless!

 

Mike

Subject: Notifications have stopped.
Message-ID: <200312012027.hB1KRL1g018257@locutus.rjnet.com.br>

I have recently made a script to send SMS when nagios alarms. It
worked for about a week, and then suddenly stopped working. I?ve
checked every configuration I made to Nagios and they are all
correct. After debugging, I?ve come down to the conclusion that
nagios has really stopped notifying when a host goes down, because
the notification log does not include "notify-by-email", as it used
to. 
Can anyone tell me what could be wrong... or what are all the
parameters needed for the notification to work correctly.

Thanks in advance!!

Subject: Nagios::Cmd version 0.04
Message-ID: <1070321450.1389.187.camel@linuxws1.internal.priority-health.com>

I put a new release of Nagios::Cmd up on CPAN.  This one should have
fixed most of the outstanding bugs.  It can be found at
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TO/TOBEYA/ or installed with "perl
-MCPAN -e 'install Nagios::Cmd'".  Version 0.05 will probably follow on
closely as it will add compatibility with Nagios::Object.

Notable change between 0.01 and 0.04:
* improved test script
* added new_anyfile constructor which can submit commands to
  any type of file (i.e. /dev/null or a flat text file).
* added service_check() and host_check() aliases for submitting
  passive service/host checks (passive host checks will be in

It's an icon that is used in the map generation.  You can replace it.

Hi,
 
I've configured nrpe on remote servers but I have a problem when I try to
get a status for disk space.
It works fine for check_users, check_procs, check_ftp, etc but for
check_disk I always get an OK status.
See my manual checks included
 
./check_users -w 30 -c 40                 
USERS CRITICAL - 44 users currently logged in
 
./check_users -w 40 -c 50                
USERS WARNING - 44 users currently logged in
 
./check_users -w 60 -c 80                
USERS OK - 44 users currently logged in
 
./check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3                 
DISK OK [2158231 kB (52%) free on /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3]
 
./check_disk -w 60 -c 50 -p /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3                 
DISK OK [2158231 kB (52%) free on /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3]
 
./check_disk -w 70 -c 60 -p /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3
DISK OK [2158231 kB (52%) free on /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3]
 
Anyone an idea why I get always an OK status back??
Thanks and regards,
Wim

Hallo,

I know how to do something like this:
# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H www.myServer.com -u
/server-status -s "100 requests"
HTTP CRITICAL: string not found
 
But I have to change ?HTTP CRITICAL? with ?OK?  !

I tried to access these sites from the Nagios Documentation links and was 
told by my Internet administrator :

The first dump is web based email via http not ftp. Web based email is 
blocked and will remain so.

The second screen dump shows that a password is required by the site so 
there is nothing we can do.


I didn't send the fourth screen dump

Try www.sendmytxt.co.uk <http://www.sendmytxt.co.uk>  - I have a small C app
supplied by them to interface to it, that's great for Nagios.  They're also
very willing to work with you to intergrate SMS into almost anything.  
 
Hope that helps?

Wim,

Your warning and critical values are the wrong way around - you have '-w 60 
-c 50' when the config should read '-w 50 -c 60'
Try changing your values around the other way and see what the check returns.

Fernando,

Try www.apache.org for a download, or check your Linux distribution's 
homepage for an apache package (RPM for Redhad, DEB for debian)

In the Nagios documentation there is good information about configuring 
Apache for use with Nagios.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: check_freshness and check_period
Message-ID: <20031202150604.32512.qmail@web41606.mail.yahoo.com>

Do freshness checks only take place during the
check_period or do they carry on regardless?

if b) is there a way I can define that I only want
freshness checking some of the time.

I have a service at the far end of a distributed
architecture, that only needs to be checked over the
weekend. The remote machine stops sending passive test
results as per the time_period that I've defined, but
I don't see anywhere how to stop the central box from
deciding the service has gone stale. I tried setting
its check_period to the same time_period I defined for
the remote box but Its still forcing a service check
when the freshness threshold expires.

Yes, you can use MRTGEXT from
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?mrtgext
<http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?mrtgext>  with
check_nwstat.c.
 
Use the version of the latter from nagios plugins CVS for a few checks I've
added:
 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nagiosplug/nagiosplug/plugins/check_nw
stat.c
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nagiosplug/nagiosplug/plugins/check_n

Thomas,

The fix for this is to add:
 #define socklen_t int

in nrpe.c just after #define NASTY_METACHARS. It should be fixed in CVS.

If you download and install the Net::SNPP package, it includes perl
utilities for sending e-pages.  They should be pretty easy to customize,
too.  Almost every wireless provider supports SNPP.  You may run into
problems if your firewall is blocking the outbound port you need.

In the US, at least Cingular has such a gateway. The email address is typically in the form of:

Hi Al.

Just a slight correction/clarification here, since this confused me a 
tad bit initially.

I work with supporting a SMS gateway software, so I come across a number 
of protocols used for SMS. What confused me was what I thought initially 
to be a typo, but alas no it wasn't. OTOH, SNPP is a protocol for 
pagers, and not for SMS. The most common protocol I see for SMS is a 
protocol named SMPP.

Just so people are aware of what they'll be getting, I mean... ;)

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, this is what the max_check_attempts
host and service parameter is for.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service

For both hosts and services, it sets the number of check retries Nagios

I use qpage.. It provides an SNPP server and client, and will talk TAP to your
cell carrier.  http://www.qpage.org/

I find the TAP functionality particularly useful... if the network is down, it
doesn't matter if my cell carrier has an email->SMS gateway because email
isn't going anywhere.  This allows me to send my pages out of band.

There's a list of TAP gateway numbers on the qpage web site, but you may have
to contact your carrier for a number anyway.  Many of the numbers listed are
for the carriers' paging networks only, and are not set up to carry messages
to the SMS network.  Quite often the TAP->SMS phone number is listed on the
carrier's web site, as well.

You are actually right.  SNPP may not fall under the SMS umbrella, but
for the purposes of what most people want to do with Nagios, it works
just fine and is actually better in my experience.  With SNPPv3, I can
set up response codes which I can then retrieve to do things like
acknowledgements and other various commands.

I don't know what other providers provide as far as SMS goes, but my
experience with Nextel has been that SNPP is superior, especially if you
want 2-way messaging.  Their SMS service also has a more limited message
size, which is annoyingly only 256 characters, while SNPP allows up to
2048 IIRC.

If anybody wants it, I can send out a kermit script for sending TAP
messages that can be used as a backup in case of internet connection
failure.  If you're not the DIY kind of person, check out sendpage
http://sendpage.cpoint.net/ .

SMPP is a protocol that's used for interfacing directly with the SMSCs (SMS
centres). It's a pretty heavy weight protocol, and I certainly wouldn't
recommend it for integrating something like nagios. Moreover, you're only
likely to ever be given an SMPP connection if you are buying considerable
volume (by which I mean at least tens of thousands of messages a month).

Hi Sam.

Didn't realise I recommended it to anyone. Merely pointed out that SNPP 
is for pagers, and SMPP is for SMS. Then it is up to each individual to 
make their choice based on their needs. What can I say??

Subject: Ignore a single recurring outage
Message-ID: <OFBC9622B9.22117514-ON85256DF0.00642E7C@powersystems.rockwell.com>

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered before. If someone can point
me to the answer w/o going into the details feel free to do so.

Anyway, I have a web service that requests a dynamic page which is
generated by a database query. Every night at a given time, the db which
this page depends upon is refreshed and the query fails, generating a
service down notification. How can I get around this? I would like to
disable this service for at least 30 minutes every night. Is there a way to
do this with in nagios?

Subject: check_nwstat
Message-ID: <sfcc8906.040@gbpinc.com>

I 'm haveing some difficulty getting check_nwstat to work.  I have
Nagios version running 1.1.  I have other checks and are work correctly.
 When check tries to work it says "Socket timeout after 10 seconds"  I
have tried every changing of settings I can think of.  I can also run
./check_nwstat -H host -v VPFSYS  and it works great.
 
Let me know if anyone needs more info.
 
Any help is very much appreciated.

I've been scouring for the variables available and useable with

I'd love it if someone could send me a clue. ;)

Thanks,

What I'd really like, is a way to tell nagios what its parents are, so that 
its icon shows up correctly in our overall map.  Is that possible (other 
than using coordinates)?

Subject: check_mailq exim patch and instructions...
Message-ID: <3FCD05F9.2050502@exponential-e.com>

I search the archives for "exim" looking for a queue checking plugin and used
some of this below. I think that the pattern match:

if (//0// ) {

is incorrect.

It should be something like /^0/ as otherwise a message queue of, for instance,
105 messages is treated as an empty mail queue, which is probably not what was
intended.

No, it wasn't a serious reply.  It's a hack that doesn't solve the general
problem, only a single instance.  A bandaid isn't a "serious" response to a
sword wound.  It may stem the bleeding long enough to get to the hospital,
but you're still going to die.

The problem isn't how to mangle output for e-mail notification, the
problem is that HTML-ized output is only useful for one output.  Hacking
the input at 1 place and then hacking the output at N places where N equals
the total number of output mechanisms is wasteful.

The generalized problem is that NO output EXCEPT for the web interface 
wants urlized output.  The database shouldn't be storing URLs that 
must be decoded before use.  These URLs will also suddenly become invalid
after an interface change, or an IP address change or anything else.

The HTML-modified output should be done closer to the web interface, not
altering the input mechanism.

As stated in my original post: (which was quoted but apparently ignored)
> Before I go digging into the code to determine how to split up the web
> and notification output, has someone already solved this problem?

The apparent solution (without having finished review of the code) is that
the URLize syntax should be stored as another attribute, and performed by
the web interface prior to output.  The data is stored in raw form, and
formated appropriated for the web output. (or any other output mechanism
that requests urlized output)

That is a serious response.  A quick fix isn't a serious response.

There are no 'parents' of Nagios, since the tests originate from Nagios.
Nagios doesn't depend on anything to reach itself.

As far as I know, only Nextel still accepts TAP delivery to SMS.  Everyone
else has turned it down over the last year.

(cell phone carriers -- most of the alpha-paging providers still support it)

Nagios, however, is not the root of the world.  Therefore, I think it 
should have an idea of where its place is in the world it is monitoring.

Right now, a normal status map shows something like

                N
                |
                B
              / | \
             a  b  c

whereas reality may be:

                B
              / | \
             a  b  c
                    \
                     N

Where N is nagios, a, b & c are routers, and N is on a host that is a child 
of c, and B is our backbone.

This would be a much more useful representation of networks.  Nagios 
automatically assumes that it is the center of the universe, and other than 
assigning coordinates, there seems no way to break it of this notion.

Actually, Nagios is the root of the world.  In order for the parent/child
relationships to have the desired function (of marking hosts as unreachable if
a parent is down) then all of the relationships show how hosts are related to
Nagios.

Ah.. up here it still works for most services.  I'm currently sending SMS via

It looks like you're trying to turn the status map into a network diagramming tool -- don't do that. The relationships shown in the status map are used to control when notifications are sent out, not to diagram your network topology.

In your second diagram, if B goes down then Nagios thinks it can still talk to c. If this is the case then your parents are incorrect. If this is not the case then Nagios is doing what it should: it'll tell you that B is down, and not mention that a, b, and c are down too (because they're children of B). This is the desired and intended behavior.

Nagios _IS_ the center of the universe from it's perspective.  REALLY.

And why are you complaining about this anyway?   Use specified coordinates
and make the map look however you want it to look.

There are so very many many things wrong with status map, and this really
isn't one of them.

Ah.. up here it still works for most services. I'm currently sending SMS via

Subject: check_mailq + nrpe + error
Message-ID: <200312030101.hB311mXu015455@dns1.iric.up.pt>

Hi all,

I've got a problem with the script check_nrpe, when i'm testing on a remote
machine the status of the mailq (by check_mailq). All other tests via
check_nrpe works and on the target machine (locally) the check_mailq works.
Can anybody give me a help?

The result of the command: ./check_nrpe -H xxxxxx -c check-mailq is "| mailq
="

The result of the command: ./check_mailq -w 20 -c 30 (on the target machine)
is
CRITICAL: mailq is 32 (threshold c = 30) | mailq = 32

I'm using :	nagios-1.0
		nagios-plugins-1.3.1
		nrpe-1.8

Tx.

Dear David,

Sun, 30 Nov 2003 01:26:15 -0500, David Culp -> nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net: 

DC> Has anyone seen and solved the issue of a "Nagios Process" icon on the
DC> StatusMap. After many hours, assigning "parents" to all the hosts , and 
DC> having only 1 root host (our backbone layer 3 switch). I still have that
DC> "Nagios Process" icon on the map ...

Nagios FAQ, http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=81

Title: How do I change the location of the Nagios process icon in the statusmap CGI?
FAQ ID: F0081
Submitted By: Ethan Galstad 
Last Updated: 10/03/2002

Description: 
User would like to customize the location of the Nagios process icon in the statusmap CGI.

Solution: 
The location of the Nagios process icon is automatically determined and cannot be specified by the user. Its placement depends on what layout method is used in the CGI, as well as the number of hosts you have and the type of host hierarchy you have defined.

All things work perfectly, but I need to get the messages from the first to five, not 6., 7., 8. and so on.
I thought, that this job will do this line...

... but it doesn't do the job.

Is it possible to make things work this way or not? How can I do it?

Subject: nrpe sudo issues on a remote box
Message-ID: <20031203065741.29196.qmail@mail.cyberdown.com>

I modified the example http-restart script to use sudo to restart coldfusion 
and apache after they have been down hard twice. The event triggers on the 
nagios box and the nrpe daemon executes the script. It kills apache and 
coldfusion, but fails to restart apache (w/o a corrosponding error), 
coldfusion restarts. The really flaky thing is that if I su to nrpe and run 
the script, it runs as it should, both services stop and restart. 

The only differnece in the secure log between both methods of invocation is 
that when the daemon does it, there is no tty entry. 

relevant sudoer config:
Cmnd_Alias      R  = /etc/init.d/httpd start,/etc/init.d/httpd 
stop,/etc/init.d/httpd restart,/usr/sbin/httpd,/etc/init.d/coldfusion

Subject: SMS messaging
Message-ID: <29215.1070439249@www62.gmx.net>

Hi All

I have one site where I have a laptop with a serially connected Nokia 6210
attached. 

Using gnokii to talk to the SMS network through the pre-pay cell phone. If
the power goes off at least I will get a stream of messages saying everything
has gone, not worried about someone digging up phone cables either.

One of the local providers did, and maybe does still provide an email
gateway to SMS, but too often there were major delays in the message getting
through. Using the phone to send the messages has worked fine so far.

Dear All,

I have a strange problem with Nagios V1.1 using the plugins from v1.3.1.

I have a remote router which ordinarily is checked by 'check_http' every x 
minutes. In some cases the check fails (ADSL) so Nagios will then run the 
host check command 'check_tcp'. However in some cases this fails and just 
leaves the error message 'check_tcp: unknown argument (null). The majority 
of the time though this check runs just fine.

My questions is therefore, what am I doing wrong ? I have been running 
Nagios for some time (great stuff Ethan) and this has only cropped up in 
the last few months. If anybody has seen this, or can help I would 
appreciate it greatly.

Many thanks

Matthew

Hello Tom,

        I'm not too good on sendmail either, but what i needed to do here 
was to create a sendmail.cf or sendmail.cw file (i don't remember exactly 
the correct extension. This was the only thing written in the file (the 
hostname of my email server):

paladino.com

this cw or cf file is the way to forward mails using sendmail (i guess). 
Please, someone correct me if i'm wrong!

Oh, we needed to configure the paladino.com machine to relay messages from 
the hostname of my nagios machine..

Andr?

Subject: a newbie queston - escalations
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.55.0312031333150.10426@maca.fortech.cz>

Hi all, I found this text in netsaint documentation (see text below) and I don't undertand something:
Imagine, that the 3. line would look like this:
>>serviceescalation[dev;HTTP]=6-0;managers,everyone;60
Would the nt-admins get the messages number 6-0 ? I just ask, because this group is the default for the service...

Thank you very much for help

Tom
-------------

service[dev]=HTTP;0;24x7;3;5;1;nt-admins;240;24x7;1;1;1;;check_http
serviceescalation[dev;HTTP]=3-5;nt-admins,managers;90
serviceescalation[dev;HTTP]=6-0;nt-admins,managers,everyone;60

The default contact group for the service 'HTTP' on host 'dev' is the group named nt-admins. The first (or "lowest") escalation level includes both the nt-admins and managers contact groups. The last (or "highest") escalation level includes the nt-admins, managers, and everyone contact groups. Notice that the nt-admins contact group is included in both escalation definitions. This is done so that they continue to get paged if there are still problems after the first two service notifications are sent out. The managers contact group first appears in the "lower" escalation definition - they are first notified when the third problem notification gets sent out. We want the managers group to continue to be notified if the problem continues past five notifications, so they are also included in the "higher" escalation definition.

Be sure to leave the phone off charge for at least a few hours a day, using
one of those timer plugs. Otherwise the phone will start switching itself
off on a fairy regulary basis after it's been on constant charge for about
five months.

The really geeky solution would be to write a Nagios plugin to monitor the
battery level on the phone, switching on a charger when the battery gets
beneath a certain threshold :-)

This would work for me on Solaris so YMMV on RH8.

If you have a sendmail.cf try editing it and finding the DS setting. Put 
the hostname you want to forward email to after this:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmail.example.com

This will send all your email to the smarthost. Obviously the windows 
server needs to talk smtp.

If this doesn't seem OK for you on redhat try google for something like 
"redhat sendmail smarthost" to configure sendmail to forward all email

What sort of help do you need?

I couldn't find one in the scripts so I whipped up a quick-and-dirty
perl one for my checks.

You might find that the "port" entry for the check_tcp check is missing,
that has caused this here.  As you're using check_http it should be port 80,
being the HTTP port.
 
Hope that helps point you in the right direction.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios hosts showing as down



Dear All, 

I have a strange problem with Nagios V1.1 using the plugins from v1.3.1. 

I have a remote router which ordinarily is checked by 'check_http' every x
minutes. In some cases the check fails (ADSL) so Nagios will then run the
host check command 'check_tcp'. However in some cases this fails and just
leaves the error message 'check_tcp: unknown argument (null). The majority
of the time though this check runs just fine. 

My questions is therefore, what am I doing wrong ? I have been running
Nagios for some time (great stuff Ethan) and this has only cropped up in the
last few months. If anybody has seen this, or can help I would appreciate it
greatly. 

Many thanks 

Matthew

I also have all of the permissions set right, ownership also.
I checked my cfg files and the logos themselves.

Is there a switch I missed when compiling?

Hi  group.
 
I'm trying to find out if the nagios plugins support performance data, and from a post at the 
devel list it says that the 1.4 branch will have support; 
 
 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5440700 <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5440700>  
 
 
I've just compiled the nagios-plugins-1.4.0alpha1.tar.gz and tried out the check_ping and check_snmp plugins, 
but the $PERFDATA$ macro is still empty. I have the "process_performance_data" option enabled in my services template.
 
Can anyone confirm if the alpha release (non cvs version) plugins got support for performance?
 
 
/andr?

Subject: Excluding hosts from hostgroups?
Message-ID: <3FCDFD53.2070203@dctd.saic.com>

Is there any undocumented (or perhaps documented that I missed) feature 
that allows the exclusion of several hosts from a hostgroup? Somethine 
like this?

hostgroup_name   linux,sun
exclude_hosts      nossh-1,nossh-2,etc

Suppose I run a service check on SSH, for my linux and sun hostgroups, 
since 99% of them run SSH. 3 servers don't run SSH, and so I get 
constant failures. The obvious solution would be to redefine those three 
hosts into their own group, but I was wondering if something like this 
existed, or whether it would be considered in the future.

The check_http plugin included with the standard Nagios plugins does https.

I could set up host checks, except that it isn't as practical with the 
quantity of nodes. As well, there are other service checks that must be 
run on the entire host group. These rogue (and blatantly irritating) 
machines would be a handful of nodes among dozens that would be omitted 
from a particular check.

I see it as additional granularity.

I'll make it work, regardless. Was just curious if the idea had been 
proposed before.

Must be a library problem. That option isn't available

# ./check_http -H host -S
check_http: invalid option - SSL is not available

Even though it says in the --help text, there's no option specified for
SSL and I don't recall an error when I ran configure.

Prior to Nagios I was using a script I created to check services and
https was one of the items. I removed the excess checks and have been
using that to check SSL with no problem.

I'll check out configure and see why it couldn't find the ssl libraries.

Thanks.

Carl

I recompiled with the --with-openssl switch and it's working now.

Now I wonder what else I'm missing :-)

It has to fail 3 times (by default) before you get notified.
are you taking that into account?

I did, because if I go to the host where a check has failed it says 
that a notification has been sent. Could it be something with the 
macros?

Okay, point taken.

I have issues with doing coordinates that have to do with having very 
widely disbursed systems that I don't want to deal with right now.

On a separate note, when running a client/master nagios setup, how do I let 
nagios know the paths between the parents of the two systems?  i.e.:


N1 - a - B - b - N2

If a & b are routers, and I have hosts on them, then obviously the parent 
paths to N1 and N2 are different, so all of the host dependencies by 
parents depend on which nagios is the master.  Do coordinates then become 
required for nagios to map the dependencies correctly?

Whenever I'm using the circular format for the statusmap and select a host,
I get a server error that delivers the message:

Premature end of script headers: statusmap.cgi

Every other mode works, which seems a bit strange as its the same
statusmap.cgi script.
Has anyone else encountered this?

I agree with you.
Hostgroup check is a great feature to simplify configuration files but 
if in this group you don't wan't to run the test on *ONE* machine, you 
are forced to use host check,

There are several ways to do it but using check_nrpe from
http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php is probably the most
straightforward. That will allow you to run check_disk and check_load on
the remote machines.

There are plugins in the plugin package that will do this for you.

Dear Alex,

Thanks for your help. The command works some times though and not others, 
so I don't think it is the port entry (by which I take it to mean the port 
number you pass to check_tcp to check).

RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios hosts showing as down






You might find that the "port" entry for the check_tcp check is missing, 
that has caused this here.  As you're using check_http it should be port 
80, being the HTTP port.
 
Hope that helps point you in the right direction.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios hosts showing as down


Dear All, 

I have a strange problem with Nagios V1.1 using the plugins from v1.3.1. 

I have a remote router which ordinarily is checked by 'check_http' every x 
minutes. In some cases the check fails (ADSL) so Nagios will then run the 
host check command 'check_tcp'. However in some cases this fails and just 
leaves the error message 'check_tcp: unknown argument (null). The majority 
of the time though this check runs just fine. 

My questions is therefore, what am I doing wrong ? I have been running 
Nagios for some time (great stuff Ethan) and this has only cropped up in 
the last few months. If anybody has seen this, or can help I would 
appreciate it greatly. 

Many thanks 

Matthew

A simple question for you nagios gurus.

I just installed/configured apache 1.3.28 and nagios 1.1. I followed the nagios installation
instructions (and triple checked them).  When I try to access nagios as described in the
"setting up the web interface" using http://photon/nagios.  I get the 404 Not found page.

The server is running because I can access the docs directory for apache or where ever
I point it to. I followed all the default installation except the nagios-user; I put my login.

Is this an apache problem or a nagios problem?

Thank you

Message-ID: <370ACCFA5BB3B346A31222E5559BF91F039FF3@mismail2.ena.com>

I'm going to say it's an apache configuration issue _or_ a permissions issue. Your apache error log should provide more useful information.

Some common gotcha's:

	- after adding the nagios specific sections to httpd.conf, you must restart apache.
	- when using the useradd command to create the nagios user, the home directory is typically created with 700 permission. It needs to be 755 unless you're getting creative with groups in which case you probably know enough that this isn't likely.
	- make sure that your .configure --with-htmurl and --with-cgiurl parameters correlate to what you've put in httpd.conf.

If you're still having problems you'll have to provide more detailed information including the nagios sections of httpd.conf, file and directory permissions, error log information (apache and nagios.log). This all presumes of course that you have the appropriate files in ~nagios/share and ~nagios/libexec.

?
A simple question for you nagios gurus.
?
I just installed/configured apache 1.3.28 and nagios 1.1. I followed the nagios installation
instructions (and triple checked them).? When I try to access nagios as described in the
"setting up the web interface" using http://photon/nagios.? I get the 404 Not found page.
?
The server is running because I can access the docs directory for apache or where ever
I point it to. I followed all the default installation except the nagios-user; I put my login.
?
Is this an apache problem or a nagios problem?
?
Thank you
-john

If that doesn't work...double check any firewalls on your system.  I had
the same problem on RH9, and it was because the firewall was blocking http
access.

Subject: Extended Information
Message-ID: <707BC118BC44D3118E3B0000F81F1E7603F22C69@VHAKANEXC1>

IS there some trick to making Nagios read the extended host information?

I have set the following in my cgi.cfg file:
xedtemplate_config_file=<path_to_config_file>

check and rechecked all permissions and ownership
made sure that my images are in the logos directory
and restarted nagios *many* times

Does anybody have any other ideas to try?

AFAIK, In Nagios version 2.0, there is the ability of using Boolean 
operators in service checks to exclude hosts that are contained in a 
hostgroup. In versions pre-2.0, you will have to define a whole new 
hostgroup without those specific machines :/
In the meantime, you could also download 2.0 from CVS and start playing 
with it.

*Or* you could just disable the SSH checks on those hosts and wait until 
2.0 is released.

Message-ID: <52B61873A3467540AF8D4C08BA3AE52A1614C6@ags01.ausgeo.com.au>

Hi Guys,

Quick question: Is it possible to check multiple hosts, for multiple
services, with one entry in the services.cfg file?

Example:

let 'nt-servers' = srv1,srv2,srv3,srv4 etc....

Can I use;

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name
of service template to use

        host_name                       nt-servers
        service_description             NT Specific Data
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           3
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  nagios-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check-nt-cpuload
        check_command                   check-nt-memuse
        check_command                   check-nt-disk
        check_command                   check-nt-uptime
        }

.. or something along those lines? Thanks guys! I've read various doco
but not 100% sure.

Regards,

-Patrick

Subject: Compiling nagios-plugins-1.3.1 on AIX 5.2
Message-ID: <200312032311.hB3NB1IZ024432@pensol.net>


Hello,

Can someone suggest what the problem may be? I've been trying to 
compile nagios-plugins-1.3.1 on AIX 5.2 using the gnu compiling tools, 
and no matter what I do, I get stuck with the following error 
when "make" tries to link check_disk binary:

        gcc  -g -O2  -L. -o check_disk  check_disk.o 
utils.o ../lib/libnagiosplug.a popen.o -lsnprintf -lsnprintf
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .VA_COPY
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more 
information.
collect2: ld returned 8 exit status
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.


Also according to the the config.log file the getloadavg() function is 
missing on the system:

configure:3837: checking for getloadavg
configure:3887: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c  >&5
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: getloadavg

 So nagios-plugins defines its own getloadavg() in getloadavg.c file,
but still it doesn't seem to work properly under AIX 5.2.

Any ideas or workaround will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tomas

Yes, it is undocumented, but you can use:

hostgroup_name  <groupname>

And, you can even use multiple comma-separated group names.  Then all you 
have to do is keep the hostgroups up to date.

:GD, PNG, and/or JPEG libraries could not be located 

in the configure script.

That said, i reinstalled the new GD library and ended
with this configuration summary for gd 2.0.15

support for png library:       yes
support for jpeg library:      yes

Also in the notation it sources the /etc/ld.so.conf
file which I am unable to locate on my system (OS
X.2.8)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Ok thanks guys.

Do you know if this will work (multiple checks in one) in the service
definition? I tried it once without success.

        check_command                   check-nt-cpuload
        check_command                   check-nt-memuse
        check_command                   check-nt-disk
        check_command                   check-nt-uptime

Perhaps you can do;
	  check_command			   check1,check2,check3

??

Thanks again.

I don't believe so.  I set up a service template, and then just have:

define service {
use              ldap-generic-service
service_description LDAP bind check
check_command    check_ldap
}

etc... That way I only have to change the template (ldap-generic-service). 
>From what I can tell, *each* check needs its own service description 
(otherwise you can't set up service dependencies).

Nagios check intervals are in time units (default 60 secs), whereas RRD step
intervals are in seconds.

This line in your services.cfg looks suspect:
>  normal_check_interval  120

Try instead:
normal_check_interval  2

Also, you might want to change the rrdcreate to use "-s 120" to match.

The host keys were likely set up as root user, but Nagios executes them as
nagios user.

su nagios
set up host keys as this user

or

copy the host keys from root's .ssh/privatekeyfile to nagios user's .ssh

Subject: TCP ping?
Message-ID: <1070530373.3fceff46014e3@secure.net2000.com.au>

Hi All,

I have a situation that I'm sure many of you have some across before - I have
several machines in a DMZ that does not allow ICMP packets.  I was wondering if
there is a plugin that allows "TCP pings" in the same manner that nmap can
report a hosts status with:

nmap -PT somehost

nmap then reports:
Host  (192.168.1.11) appears to be up.
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP addresses (1 host up) scanned in 1 second

Any help would be much appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Leigh

Sounds like the ./configure isn't picking up the fact that AIX has a
va_copy, run ./configure again and look for a line:

checking for __va_copy... yes

If you don't see it, then maybe you need to hard-code it, if so i'll look
through my configure and see what's its detecting it as.

Dear All,
  I have defined an event_handler which will shutdown a machine,
should an alarm be reported from check_sensors.

Is there any way I can arrange an event_handler to be called on Critical 
states only, not on Warnings?
Is it as simple as examining the value of $STATETYPE$

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0312041405260.18024-100000@druifje.clustervision.com>

Please forgive a second question,
this one hopefully more interesting.

I'm working on using lm_sensors on compute nodes,
to raise alarms when CPUs overtemp or fans fail.

The sample check_sensors plugin is rather simple -
it simply checks for the string ALARM in the output of lm_sensors.

Can anyone point me towards other lm_sensors plugins?
Yes, I know I should work on my own - bu deadlines loom and a head start
on customising something else would be good.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding things,
but features which would be nice would be:

*) an alarm message relating to the problem, eg. FAN1 Fail

*) maybe output of the temps/fan speeds for later processing in APAN 
(that's next on the list - get APAN working. Hints/tips welcome!)

*) more sophisticated filtering on alarms.
   For example, looking at the lm_sensors output below there is a
   Chassis Intrusion alarm, which I don't want to trigger an alarm state

Thanks!

Found the problem. It was a stupied user error. I cut and pasted the
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/
stuff and edit in the share stuff but left it as a scriptalias instead of
alias.

It now works thanks!

Appreciate help on the following;

Nagios is reporting a return status 141 host out of bounds, what does this
mean?

Running the check manually is no probem, all PATHS and permissions are ok is
it a problem with the way in which the plugin returns it's exit code, if so
, how do I fix!

Thanks in advance.

Ps I'm a bit of a newbie so please give as much info.

Greetings all,

I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick sanity check before I 
dive in and break my Nagios install...

I'm hoping to deploy the nsca addon (and send_nsca) to passively monitor 
two debian devices hanging off the end of a DSL line.  i.e. the target 
hosts have dynamic private IPs and do not have resolvable hostnames. I'm 
aiming to log snmp traps only.  Am I right to think this is a 'passive 
check of a volatile service' in nagios-speak ?

I'm wondering now, how to correctly configure the object files for these 
hosts and their passive services.    I notice from the docs "that in 
order to submit passive service checks to Nagios, a service must have 
already been defined in the object configuration file"  Is this proposed 
service definition sane??

define service{
        host_name                               unknown
        service_description                 TRAP
        check_command                    check-host-alive
        is_volatile                             1
        active_checks_enabled         0
        passive_checks_enabled       1
        check_period                        none
        max_check_attempts            1
        normal_check_interval          1
        retry_check_interval              1
        notifications_enabled             1
        notification_interval                31536000
        notification_period                24x7
        notification_options                w,u,c,r
        contact_groups                      linux-admins
        }

I'm also wondering how to handle the hosts.cfg definition which requires 
an address param as a mandatory field...??  It's this 'gotcha' that has 
me most stumped.  Am I able to use an arbitrary or fake IP and simply 
use host_name matching to determin whether to accept and log the trap?

Any suggestions, comments, ideas, abuse or reading references are most 
welcome by this nagios beginner.

Many Thks

This link looks particularly pertinent --

http://216.239.37.104/search?q=cache:jc8f2nsUaMUJ:dbforums.com/arch/126/
2003/5/797601+return+code+141&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

That thread indicates that 141 might be caused by some part of the
script receiving a SIGPIPE. 
Have you tried running the command as the nagios user? I know you said
you've run it manually but it is important to try running it as nagios
if you haven't. Adding 'set -x' near the top (but after the #!/bin/sh)
should help indicate where the failure lies.

$STATETYPE$ will only be HARD or SOFT. You're looking for $SERVICESTATE$
or $HOSTSTATE$. You can't be selective about when Nagios executes the
event handler, but you can be particular about whether you actually do
anything or not based on those values. The example event handler script
on http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/eventhandlers.html does
exactly this.

One really nice function of NagMIN we've found is that you can define
service groups (based on service templates) and attach one or more to
each host.  Behind the scenes, NagMIN uses this to generate the
corresponding Nagios configuration, but from my point of view, I get
exactly what I want -- for every host, I just check off the service
groups that apply.  This works well if the host contact is the same as
the service contact for all services and the service is generic (not,
for example, a specific HTTP content check).  If this isn't true, you
need to actually define service entries manually with the appropriate
contacts.

I can't give you the code just yet (waiting for the final OK on that), but 
I can tell you how it works.

Assume that we have two vitria servers, FOO and BAR. They run on Solaris.  
We also have a solaris host that acts as part of our monitoring system.  
We installed the vitria software on this third host (we'll call it ZED)  
but are not actually running any of the Vitria daemons.  ZED is running
NRPE.  The vitria software is installed so that NRPE has access to the
vtadmin command as well as the taskmanager / usermanager 'ping' classes.  
Since Vitria exposes itself via a network port (the VTNAME) all of your
vitria commands can be run remotely.  We defined each connector and
automator as a service and have Nagios call out to ZED.  Part of the
command parameters is the VTNAME that ZED should use.  ZED then uses the
propriatary Vitria protocol to ceach out to FOO and BAR.

So, that makes one plugin for connectors / automators, one for 'generic
businessware', one for taskmanager and one for usermanager.  The
'Businesssware ping' java class isn't part of the standard vitria package,
I think it came from our development team.

In the future we are going to put NRPE on FOO and BAR in order to monitor 
some statistics about the chanserv.dat / .wal files.  

Our dev team also built a java daemon that reports on connector backlogs
and I wrote a plugin that reads the output of this daemon. As such we also
have a _backlog service defined for each connector.

You must define the service in Nagios so it knows that the passive check
isn't bogus. I would use a more descriptive host_name above. Think of it
as a label, not as a DNS name. The check_command is fine, it'll never
get executed. For a cleaner web interface (without the big red 'X'),
consider setting active_checks_enabled to 1 and leaving the check_period
set to none. That's a personal preference however.

You can use an arbitrary IP (127.0.0.1 for example). If you don't define
a check_command in your host block, the IP will never be used ofr
anything. Nagios uses the host_name (label) and service_description to
make all internal associations and decide whether to accept or ignore
the passive check.


If you haven't read it,

to you.

A more flexible way of doing this so you don't have to create custom
check commands for every port would look like --

define command {
	command name check-tcp
	command_line $USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$
	}

define host {
	host_name foo
	yada yada
	yada yada
	address 127.0.0.1
	}

define service {
	host_name foo
	yada yada
	yada yada
	check_command check_tcp!15004
	}

Thanks for this check. 

It seems my object file definitions pass the preflight check and nagios 
starts up happily...

However, when I try run from the debian device :
 > send_nsca -H nagios.host.com -c send_nsca.cfg

I get :

> Error: Server closed connection before init packet was received
> Error: Could not read init packet from server

I've had my firewall admin open tcp-5667 to the nagios host.  Should 
this have been udp-5667 ??
Any suggestions on how to pursue this cryptic error msg?

sure but, in "host state information", you will have
"host assumed to be up" and hosts dependencies won't work.

It would be more flexible/convenient to be allowed to add arguments
to check_command in a "define host { }"
It is only possible on "define service {}"

i should write a patch :)

cf: 
docs/1_0/networkreachability.html
"If a host check command for a remote host returns a non-OK state,
Nagios will "walk" the depency tree (as shown in the figure above) until
it reaches the top (or until a parent host check results in an OK
state)."

What version of gcc are you running? What I've got (working) so far:

uname -srv && rpm -qa | grep gcc
AIX 1 5
gcc-2.9.aix43.010414-3

As you can see I'm using an older version of gcc and I'm not at version 5.2
yet ... but I just successfully compiled v1.3.1 of the plugins

Dear All,
 
We are using the check_traffic plugin on our network and facing the following problem:
 
- the plug-in read snmp information correctly and return to nagios the correct information, however the graphic is not generated. If we run the plug-in manually the graphic is correctly generated.
 
- We have 5 hosts with this plug-in enabled, the plug-in works with 4 and returns the message (Return code of 13 is out of bounds) with the 5th;
 
Anyone have some piece of advice?

It's TCP. Is there anything in /var/log/* on the server running the NSCA
daemon? Did you remember to add the IP of the host sending the checks to
allowed_hosts in nsca.cfg (and restart NSCA if necessary). Consider
turning on debugging in nsca.cfg also. I presume that you're using the
same password and encryption/decryption method on both machines.

Thanks for the feedback, but this was the crux of my original question 
-  the remote host I'm trying to monitor (running send_nsca) has a 
dynamic private IP... and hence an unresolvable hostname.

By commenting out this allowed_hosts in ncsa.cfg on the nagios host, am 
I effectively allowing any/all hosts to submit passive checks?  Or no 
hosts at all?

AH, gotcha. I can be slow sometimes. Good news is you don't have to
write a patch. Already completed for nagios-2.0 --

	6. Host check commands, notification commands and event handler
command now accept arguments (using $ARGx$ macros)

Try www.sendmytxt.co.uk <http://www.sendmytxt.co.uk>  - I have a small C app

I have set the same password and decrypt method=1  in both nsca.cfg and 
send_nsca.cfg. 

For testing, I also entered the currently assigned dynamic IP address of 
the remote host running send_nsca to allowed_hosts in nsca.cfg on the 
nagios host (though this isn't going to work for me long term)

I set nsca.cfg debug=1 and can see the debug entries in my 
/var/adm/messages (yes, I'm running Solaris on the nagios end)

The 2nd entry appears when I attempt to run send_nsca which eventuall 
ends with :

Not exactly detailed/verbose error messages to work with...

Can anyone suggest what's happening here?

Ah, yes. Looking at the code, it'll reject all connections because none
will match <null>. I have a potential solution though that may help. A
one line code change to nsca.c will allow you to do a rudimentary
substring match (starting at the left and working right). This may help
you if say the first, second, and/or third octet of the IP is always the
same. For example, I could set
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,12.153.6.,208.182. NSCA will now accept all
connections from localhost, any IP's in the 12.153.6 class C or any that
start with 208.182. If I had '12.153.6' with no trailing . it would
match 12.153.6, 12.153.60, 12.153.61, etc... It does open you up a
little from a security perspective, but it's better than accepting from
the whole world. By the way, YMMV as far as the functionality of this
patch. I've tested it and it appears to work as advertised but I haven't
tested all possible values for the allowed_hosts. I would encourage you
to use encryption of the data if you're not already using it for the
most secure implementation.

There should be a lot more info. The stuff you're showing above is not
all. Where are you logging daemon.debug (syslogs LOG_DEBUG facility)?
That's where all the juicy stuff is going.

If all else fails you could try using 'truss -fea -p <nsca process id>
to get at least some information.

Message-ID: <BBF4E35F.11E3%bwhaley@costrack.com>

Greetings, 

I'm sure there is a way to do this with nagios but it isn't immediately
obvious to me. Here is my problem.

I'd like to suppress notifications about state changes for a certain
threshold. For example, say a server of my is hit with a spam message that
is delivered to all my users. The number of processes, number of sendmail
processes, and system load will all increase, all of which I am monitoring.
But if they just increase (over the critical states) and then return to
normal after delivering the spam, I don't want to be notified. I only want
to be notified if the host retains that critical state for, say, 2 or more
checks.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben Whaley

Play with your max_check_attempts and retry check interval. For example,


        max_check_attempts              5
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            3

means that nagios will have to go through 5 failures at 3 minutes
between attempts for a total of about 15 minutes before a notification
is sent out. If the service recovers at any point in that process, no
notification is sent.

Hello once again,

Is there a way to check a cisco router without using SNMP?

For example, you may be able to use a check_by_ssh (is there a
check_by_telnet?) to login to the router and check uptime etc.

Thanks - all advice appreciated,

Subject: Patch for check_nt.c
Message-ID: <5.2.0.9.2.20031204171449.026579a0@imap.qut.edu.au>

Hi all,

Please find attached my patch for version 1.7.2.3 of check_nt.c. This patch 
adds the ability to check disk space based on the amount of Mb left on a 
partition. I wrote this because 1% of a 100Gb partition is still a lot of 
space! :D

The command line option is -m or --mb. The logic behind the checks is 
reversed against the percentage checks: the percentage method checks 
against the amount of disk space used; the Mb method checks against the 
amount of free space left.

I could have got the same functionality from NRPE_NT or by using a 3rd 
party solution, but I haven't had cause to deploy NRPE_NT yet, so I decided 
to patch check_nt.c.

Technical stuff:
I used Mb values rather than Gb values because of the use of the unsigned 
long type for the percentage values, which are used extensively through out 
check_nt.c. So rather than rewrite a lot of check_nt.c so you could 
specify, say, -w 1.2 (Gb), I decided to use Mb value on the command line. 
(Debugging revealed that when a float value is converted into an unsigned 
long, you would get a negative value in that unsigned long - not good when 
checking remaining disk space!)

Yves: I've submitted this patch to sourceforge.

Thanks,

Hi!

I'm writing on behalf of the SENTINIX project, which is a Linux distribution 
designed for monitoring (Nagios), auditing (Nessus, nmap), intrusion 
detection (Snort), anti-spam (e-mail gateway/proxying using 
MailScanner+SpamAssassin) and clustering (openMosix).

Nagios is a central part in SENTINIX and we're working on developing Nagios 
plugins to, for instance, handle Snort alerts, check openMosix cluster load 
average and utilization, etc.

I'm writing this because we need help with development, beta testing and lots 
of more community feedback!  SENTINIX is developed entirely by what the 
community (at large) asks for.  Please drop by http://sentinix.org and check 
it out.

SENTINIX is free software, it's currently being (extremely) actively developed 
with the help of sponsorship and donations.  The two previous beta releases 
were released under a BSD-type license, the next (v0.71) will be released 
entirely under GNU GPL (and will remain so).

Subject: Large hostgroups?
Message-ID: <20031205113108.GB12952@tuls.pauken.co.uk>

I'm trying to configure Nagios to monitor a large cluster of
Linux machines.

I've made a little script which will add a host definition for
each node to the hosts.cfg file (there may be hundreds of nodes).

I create a hostgroup called nodes:

define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name  nodes
alias           Compute Nodes
contact_groups  cluster-admins
members          node01 node02 node03 node04 node05 node06 node07 node08
node09 node10
}

The problem is that I can't get all the nodes in the members.
nagios -v returns:
Error: Host name 'node01 node02 node03 node04 node05 node06 node07
node08 node09 node10' for service 'SENSORS-NODES' exceeds maximum length
of 63 characters

Help! 
Is there an elegant way to get 100's of nodes in the members,
without having a huge long string?

I've used the perl modules Net::telnet or Net::Telnet::Cisco to 
implement some plugins. There are some perl plugins such as the one that 
checks the interface status that I used to copy the general structure of 
a plugin than added the logic I needed.

Yes. That would be good to add

Sorry, cannot comment on APAN, I don't use it.

For that one, I think you need to change the lm_sensors output - if
lm_sensors is sane, that will cause a non-zero exit status, which should
propagate through the plugin. The lm_sensors config file will alow you
to change things like that, IIRC.

What version of the plugins are you using?

What OS and release? In what nslookup/host commands if not the same that
came with the OS?

What does the seconadry server say when you query it with host or dig or
nslookup?

Without that info, it will be hard to help.

The plugins on the web site were compiled on Fedora. They need to be

Message-ID: <B8AF96534149164F9B6FEF5280B2C7AF02613C@CUP1-EXBE1.portal.com>

Hello,
 
I am having a problem getting extended service graph icon to show up on the
status page.  I have configured the cgi.cfg to use extendedservice info file
and I do not have it configured to use database.
 
xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/serviceextinfo.cfg
 
I have configured the extended service file as follows.
 
serviceextinfo{
        host_name               cup1-dc1
        service_description     Disk-usage
        notes_url
http://nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/apan.cgi?host=cup1-dc1
<http://nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/apan.cgi?host=cup1-dc1&service=Disk-usage>
&service=Disk-usage
        icon_image              graph.png
        icon_image_alt          View graphs
}
 
The graph icon is in the logos subdirectory, but won't show up on the status
page?  I have restarted Nagios numerous times.
 
I am running Nagios 1.1 on RH 9 with plugins-1.3.1-5.
 
Any advide would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you.

NagMIN provides an alternate way to manage your Nagios config files.  It
doesn't work on Nagios output.  NagMIN stores configuration information in a
MySQL database which you can edit through a web interface.  After you make
changes you can "activate" a configuration.  This causes NagMIN to generate
a new set of Nagios config files and restart Nagios.

For what bad reason would you like to do that ? Hostgroup is a way to make overview much more readable, so, I suggest you group your nodes by 20, it would be a better way to use the nagios interface. 

I could have missed something, but...

Subject: Subservice Definations
Message-ID: <07b801c3bb42$33585b10$fb00a8c0@office.toastedmedia.net>

Hi,

I'm after a slightly better solution for SNMP trap monitoring.

SNMP traps are submitted as passive service checks. All the examples show
the a single service defination for the traps - this has the unfortunate
effect of the next SNMP trap overwriting the previous. I'd like to have
different services definations for different SNMP traps on our networking
equipment, but that would result in a LOT of service definations.

It would be nice if there was a sub-service id that could be submitted with
passive checks, that effectively divides a single service into multiple
services on demand, without the need for 1000's of service definations.

Is there a solution to this that I've missed, or is it going to require
changes to Nagios? I'm a fair programmer so I'm happy to make these changes
myself, but others might not consider this a good solution to this problem.

Sam

That may work fine for you but would be absolutely impractical for me.
In my case I like to be able to see hosts in two different ways, by
County, and by Region. That way I can see at a glance if I'm having a
District problem or a Service Platform problem affecting an entire
region. They're also not just for viewing readability. I can now
schedule downtime for a district or an entire region once without having
to touch 50 hostgroups as I would have to do in your scenario. My region
hostgroups have >1000 hosts in them. I'm able to do that by upping the
MAX_XODTEMPLATE_INPUT_BUFFER significantly. It may not be the most
secure way but it works well for me.

xodtemplate.h:#define MAX_XODTEMPLATE_INPUT_BUFFER    49152

I'm trying to figure out how to get Nagios to pause for a while before it
pages/emails us about a problem.  We monitor pings to some devices which
aren't that critical, but that we still care about. We're not too worried
about them unless they are down (unpingable) for more than 15 minutes.

I'm preparing to write a plug-in that waits a specified amount of time
before pageing/emailing us when it detects a problem.  However, before I
get too carried away, has anyone else already dealt with this problem?

Thank you

I think you are looking for the max_check_attempts and 
retry_check_interval.  You can combine these such that Nagios will wait 
until the service has been down for 15 minutes (or, 'max check attempts 3, 
retry_check_interval 5) before sending a notification.

What you are describing really doesn't *solve* anything.

Consider what you've stated:
1. System has a problem, nagios notices it.
2. Page/email goes into a queue
3. time passes (15 minutes, as you stated)
4. regardless the system state, you get a page.

Why not just adjust the retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts in
your service definition to suit your application's needs?  An external
"message delayer" isn't really helping you.

Subject: Help CGI configuration
Message-ID: <025801c3bb84$4648f710$6f5839d0@nitesh>

Hello,
 
So far everything is going well while compiling and installing Nagios on
RedHat 9.
I followed the instructions from the documentation...
 
For some reason I got only four directories in my /usr/local/nagios
directory.
bin/
sbin/
share/
var/
 
I don't have the directory etc/, but anyways I was able to continue with
the installation.
 
I am facing problems to execute the CGI files. I am getting an error
"404 Object not found".
In the documentation it says that I should have ScriptAlias before the
Alias. 
 
In my httpd.conf, the Alias comes first and then the ScriptAlias. So I
dont know do I have to change the setup of my httpd.conf.
 
Can somebody please show me the correct path.... Your help will be
highly appreciated..
 
Thanks
 
Regards
Nitesh

Jeff, Jason,

You both suggested I look at retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts.
However, as *I* understand it that will affect all devices.
Unfortunately, we have various groups for which we wish to delay the
pageing/emailing.  Some groups we wish to wait 15 minutes, others 5
minutes.

Also, if the device comes back up in the 15 minutes, we don't want to be
paged. Sorry, I wasn't clear about that.

THank you --Greg Redder

So, only kick up the retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts for the
services for the specific devices you want to 'delay'.

You can define those parameters for each service (or put it in your
template, or whatever).

You can set retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts on a service by service
basis.  This would solve your problem if you have different services for the
devices in question.

Those parameters can be specified at the service-level; by no means do 
they have to affect all devices. I suspect you are using the 'generic 
service' as the only template, but recall that you can override any of the 
parameters of the generic service template at any lower level.

Subject: Plugin for tping?
Message-ID: <D4C267F23EEDDC4D84CC9E32C04D2F77234211@EXCH.STATE.NV.US>

I was wondering - is there a plugin that will use tping instead of ping?  I'm behind a firewall that blocks ICMP traffic, and I have hosts that need monitoring on the other side of it.  Since tping uses TCP packets instead of ICMP, it seems like it would be useful as a replacment.  Unfortunately, the output from tping looks different than the output of ping.  So the check_ping plugin doesn't know what to do with it.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi John,

You might try doing a dns dump from nslookup (ls -d domain.com > dns.txt) 
and running a script against that. if you're not comfortable with a 
script, you at the very least have a text file with all of your hosts in 
it and it's a lot easier than typing them all in. if you are comfortable 
with scripting, you can easily extract the relevant data and pump that 
into a string that will look like you want.

[Anyone know how to make Outlook quote a message *correctly*??]

That would be great if there was a specific port I wanted to watch. :-)
I'm just looking to do the occasional ping if possible.  tping would let
me do that through the firewall.

I think what you are looking for is a check_tcp that treats both 
connection refused and a connection as a 'OK', ie the only thing that 
causes it to fail is a timeout. I don't think such a thing currently 
exists but check_tcp could probably be extended to do so.

It only seems to work correctly if the original mail is plain text. If

You might want to look at the Net::Ping perl module.
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=net+ping

It has the possibility to use icmp, tcp, udp, or syn, and enough sample code
to create a simple plugin script.

I narrowed the problem down to the stop() function in the httpd script. If
you comment out the 'echo' line, the full restart works. My guess is that
since plugins are only allowed to return 1 line of response text, nrpe is
getting confused and terminating the plugin when the first line of ech is
received. Perhaps their is some way to pipe the output somewhere else so
nrpe doesn't see it?

stop() {
        echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
        killproc $httpd
        RETVAL=$?
#       echo
        [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/httpd /var/run/httpd.pid
}

Add this pipe to /dev/null in your eventhandler script and everything works
properly. nrpe will indeed stop processing a script after the first line of
response text is received from the script. By piping to /dev/null, the
entire script will complete.

sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart >/dev/null

One more modification to the sudo line will make it more compatible with
various other init scripts:

sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart >/dev/null 2>&1

Subject: Nagios Percent Stats wildly messed up?
Message-ID: <613852.1070804395@[10.1.2.77]>

I've been experiencing that nagios trend percentages, especially for the 
daily, are almost always wrong.  We had a scheduled downtime go across a 
24hr mark because nagios never pulled the service out of scheduled downtime 
(even though it was checking it and getting UP/OK results!!!!)

It even went negative the other day, then I got it fixed by restarting 
nagios to get the system out of the scheduled downtime state, stats 
corrected, but today they're totally fubar AGAIN.  They're recovering but 
it's acting like the thing went down for a day again.

What is up with this?  It's nagios v1.1, I'll get more details a little 
later but for right now i'm fighting with yet another junk video card from 
ATI.

Do you have multiple copies of nagios running? Intermittent behavior like this is a symptom. I would be very surprised if a bug of this magnitude still existed in 1.1.

Either downgrade lib-png to 1.0.12, which nagios appears to have been compiled against or recompile nagios now that you are using a newer version (1.2.1).

Message-ID: <200312081800.45058.luke@advancen.com>

I have Nagios working really well, but I have one small problem.  I have 
slightly altered one of the checks to read a particular page, search for a 
string and so on, but when it fails it doesn't send out notifications.


The host is still up and working, but the server that the script was looking 
for is down.  I goes red and makes noises and all hat stuff, but how do I 
make Nagios send out notifications?

I know it has something to do with hard and soft errors.....basically I want 
notifications sent for everything (hard or soft).

Subject: [Nagios-users] Plugin for tping?


I was wondering - is there a plugin that will use tping instead of ping?
I'm behind a firewall that blocks ICMP traffic, and I have hosts that need
monitoring on the other side of it.  Since tping uses TCP packets instead of
ICMP, it seems like it would be useful as a replacment.  Unfortunately, the
output from tping looks different than the output of ping.  So the
check_ping plugin doesn't know what to do with it.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,

Here is the content of my logs:

Int: so-0/2/0 Rtr: nl1.nl State: Down Errors: 2394 Flaps: 0 


My problem is that a WARNING Hard alert was sent at 10:01 to the WARNING
recipients. When the link changed to a CRITICAL Hard state, no alarm was
sent again. I would expect, when a service changes to a worse state to
re-notify the contacts.

Some contacts are configured to send only CRITICAL alarms, thus, losing this
alarm, this CRITICAL alarm being hidden by the previous WARNING.

Any help?
Thanks in advance,
Christophe.

Hi all,

I have been using nagios for quite a long while now, but there are a 
couple of loose ends in my implementation that I am trying to tie up.  I 
do SSH checks with Nagios using the check_ssh plugin, and each of of 
these SSH checks show up as

**Unmatched Entries**
Connection from 10.0.0.XX port 33309
Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
Connection from 10.0.0.XX port 33479
Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
Connection from 10.0.0.XX port 33612
Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
Connection from 10.0.0.XX port 33792
Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0


in my daily logwatch creating *pages* of crap to have to filter through, 
has anyone hacked up the logwatch scripts to ignore their nagios server 
IP?? if so could you perhaps send me a patch or point me down the right 
road to making the code changes to filter out this info, or otherwise 
condense it into a manageable size... I.E.

**Unmatched Entries**
Connection from 10.0.0.XX port 33309 ... 705 times

or something like that.

Yes, you probably should have been bitten by now ;). --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#host

notifications_options: This directive is used to determine when notifications for the host should be sent out. Valid options are a combination of one or more of the following: d = send notifications on a DOWN state, u = send notifications on an UNREACHABLE state, and r = send notifications on recoveries (OK state). If you specify n (none) as an option, no host notifications will be sent out. Example: If you specify d,r in this field, notifications will only be sent out when the host goes DOWN and when it recovers from a DOWN state.

notification_options: This directive is used to determine when notifications for the service should be sent out. Valid options are a combination of one or more of the following: w = send notifications on a WARNING state, u = send notifications on an UNKNOWN state, c = send notifications on a CRITICAL state, and r = send notifications on recoveries (OK state). If you specify n (none) as an option, no service notifications will be sent out. Example: If you specify w,r in this field, notifications will only be sent out when the service goes into a WARNING state and when it recovers from a WARNING state.

Perhaps this is a question more appropriate for a mailing list about
LogWatch.

Subject: timeperiods.cfg
Message-ID: <OF644D3717.8298D252-ON85256DF6.00525FA5@powersystems.rockwell.com>

I set up a timeperiod like so:

# 'edr' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
      timeperiod_name edr
      alias       edr downtime
      sunday            01:00-23:00
      monday      01:00-23:00
      tuesday     01:00-23:00
      wednesday   01:00-23:00
      thursday    01:00-23:00
      friday            01:00-23:00
      saturday    01:00-23:00
      }

I use it in a service definition like so:

# Service definition
define service{
      use                     generic-service

      host_name               usmghweb002
      service_description           EDR
      is_volatile             0
      check_period                  24x7
      max_check_attempts                      3
      normal_check_interval                   5
      retry_check_interval                        1
      contact_groups                                 solaris-admins
      notification_interval                          120
      notification_period                           edr
      notification_options                          w,u,c,r
      check_command                             check_http3!3333
      }

The way I understand it, notifications will only be sent for this service
between 1AM (0100 hours) and 11PM (2300 hours). However, after restarting
nagios and even using update-nagios on several consecutive days, the
notification for this service still goes out. I know that this service will
be unavailable during btween 2300 hours and 0100 hours everyday, and do not
want the SA on call to be paged about it.

Nagios will only send alerts on a Hard state, so the key is to make the
very first check a hard state --

max_check_attempts: This directive is used to define the number of times
that Nagios will retry the service check command if it returns any state
other than an OK state. Setting this value to 1 will cause Nagios to
generate an alert without retrying the service check again.  

If you're certain that's your problem then setting max_check_attempts to
1 should fix it.

Not being familiar with logwatch at all, from reading the manpage it
seems you could easily edit the appropriate file in
/etc/log.d/scripts/services to do that. In particular, the top section
of syslogd (or messages as the case may be) is where you would add it
(to either summarize or ignore).

Message-ID: <880E60DA7286AB4CBEECB01B169A63BD1413E86D@NJ-2K-Email1.delphi-tech.com>

This is getting quite frustrating.  I'm wondering why my nagios machines are
sending out an incredible amount of false positives to me.  The
configuration is two distributed machines, one is a 233mhz/128M/256M swap
with 42 hosts, among those 42 hosts is 53 service checks, most of which
being just ping.  The other is a dual 667/1G/2G swap with 49 hosts/52
service checks, the central machine is a 667mhz/128M/256M swap.  Often what
I get in e-mail is either one email with critical and the recovery shortly
after, or even both at the same time!  All servers run the nagios status fs
in a ramdisk as suggested long ago.  Any suggestions on how to get more
accurate notifications, or even accurate to begin with (99.9% of the time
it's not legit) would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <370ACCFA5BB3B346A31222E5559BF91F03A026@mismail2.ena.com>

Since we don't have any configuration information to go on, it's going
to be difficult to troubleshoot possible config issues. Looking at the
machines themselves, what is load like on them? Are they doing other
work besides Nagios (specifically the 233 Mhz machine)? It's been my
experience that if load is high for a ping check for example the check
executes and even if the ping returns in 10ms, if the plugin has to wait
1000ms for CPU time, your ping response is going to be 1000ms (because
the plugin is just now able to process the response). Do you find that
one machine is generating more false positives than another? What
exactly is the false positive output of the plugin (plugin timeout? Host
unreachable? Response above critical threshold?, etc...) How about your
network? Do you have speed and duplex hardcoded on all the machines and
the switch(es) they are connected to? Speed/Duplex mismatch can be the
cause a quite a number of odd issues. Do you maybe have multiple copies
of nagios running on a box? This is less likely as a cause but some of
your indications below hint at it.

With just 53 checks I would think that using a ramdisk for storage
wouldn't make any difference performance wise and may actually be
hurting you, expecially the machines with just 128 megs of ram. You're
likely forcing the use of more (much slower) swap space than you
normally would. 

If none of the above help you then the more, and more specific
information you can provide will help us help you.

Is there a plugin anywhere that lets me monitor a single process on a 
unix box?  I don't want to configure snmpd or nrpe/nsca.  I just want a 
simple plugin that will do a 'ps' type of command.  I suppose I could 
write one myself, but I'd rather have one pre-done because I'm not a 
very good coder.

Thanks in advance.

Look at the check_procs module help (check_procs -h). It already does this.

I personally suspect the machine is  just over taxed, although the load
average is usually 0.60-0.80.  The ramdisk is used because in the past after
about 10 minutes the machine would begin to get bogged down and more and
more nagios procs would start to spawn.  I've had hundreds of nagios procs
at once on that machine which caused a spiraling effect where more would
spawn cauing more resources to be used causing the other procs to be held
back and not respond and thus more procs were spawned.  All networks here
are 100mbps full.  Plugin timeouts/dest unreachable/you name it, 10's of
times I've gone straight onto the box and run the very plugin that was
complaining with perfectly fine results.  There's only one copy of nagios
running...is 233/128M too little for this job?  What else can I show to help
the process?

Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Incredible amount of false positives


Since we don't have any configuration information to go on, it's going
to be difficult to troubleshoot possible config issues. Looking at the
machines themselves, what is load like on them? Are they doing other
work besides Nagios (specifically the 233 Mhz machine)? It's been my
experience that if load is high for a ping check for example the check
executes and even if the ping returns in 10ms, if the plugin has to wait
1000ms for CPU time, your ping response is going to be 1000ms (because
the plugin is just now able to process the response). Do you find that
one machine is generating more false positives than another? What
exactly is the false positive output of the plugin (plugin timeout? Host
unreachable? Response above critical threshold?, etc...) How about your
network? Do you have speed and duplex hardcoded on all the machines and
the switch(es) they are connected to? Speed/Duplex mismatch can be the
cause a quite a number of odd issues. Do you maybe have multiple copies
of nagios running on a box? This is less likely as a cause but some of
your indications below hint at it.

With just 53 checks I would think that using a ramdisk for storage
wouldn't make any difference performance wise and may actually be
hurting you, expecially the machines with just 128 megs of ram. You're
likely forcing the use of more (much slower) swap space than you
normally would. 

If none of the above help you then the more, and more specific
information you can provide will help us help you.

Well, to be honest, my first reaction was that I was quite surprised
that a machine of that caliber was being used for such an important
task. That's not to say that it isn't up to the job given the few hosts
and services that you have configured. It may just be that you need to
do some nagios performance tuning to work better with that hardware.
I've had a PIII 800 with 512Meg ram running Nagios, Smokeping and
Cricket (and other things) for >800 services each with 5 minute check
intervals successfully. The more the RAM the better generally as well.
It's cheap sp there's really no excuse unless you just can't find the
type you need anymore.

Again, since you didn't provide much specific information about your
configuration or any work that you've done so far some of these
suggestions might be redundant --

- Schedule service checks to at least 5 minute intervals. If you're
checking more often than this ask yourself if it's really necessary.
- nagios.cfg -
	o use_syslog=0
	o log_* = 0 except for those specific things you really care
about
	o service_reaper_frequency=2
	o max_concurrent_checks=xxx (run ~nagios/bin/nagios -s
~nagios/etc/nagios.cfg for the number to put here)
	o aggregate_status_updates=1
	o status_update_interval=60 (or higher, depending on how fresh
you want the web data)
	o command_check_interval=-1 (on your central host)
- Make sure your host check commands are as simple as possible and
complete as quickly as possible. Why ping 5 or 10 times when a single
ping will do.
- When sending service checks to a central server via OSCP/NSCA be aware
that Nagios will keep a child open until that process completes (and I
believe it doesn't schedule a new check of that service either). If
there is a delay in the transmission process or other problems it can
severely affect the performance of the polling server.
- If it were me I'd make the dual proc machine the central server but
you may have reasons for not doing so.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will try these.  Moving the central to the
dual proc was my next step, it will probably go into effect after I can get
the nagios machine running in NJ (I'm in MA) back up again.

I've turned off all logging
reaper frequency was set to 5 on distrib, changed to 2
reaper frequency was set to 3 on central, changed to 2
concurrent checks was set to 5 on both, changed to 3 (recommended by nagios
-s nagios.cfg on both)
aggregate_status_updates was set to 1 on both
status_update_interval was set to 120 on distrib, left at 120
status_update_interval was set to 5 on central, changed to 60

Lowered pings to 1, all commands are defaults pretty much (in checkcommands
using standard modules in libexec).

We'll see how it goes, thanks

Subject: Latching state on failure
Message-ID: <15924.8539283455$1070917761@news.gmane.org>

Is there a way to configure a nagios service so that the state is permanently 
latched to NOT_OK when a failure is detected?

What I am trying to do is this: I use net-snmp to monitor a bunch of stuff on 
some solaris machines, and I have nagios poll the snmp daemon with 
check_snmp. I've written a script that is run by the net-snmp exec MIB that 
checks for SCSI errors in the system log file. It only checks for new entries 
in the log file since the last time it ran. What I'd like to do is have this 
polled by nagios, and if it finds an error latch the state of that service to 
NOT_OK until I manually submit a passive check result. 

I guess I could do this with passive checks or snmp traps, but it would be a 
lot simpler to have nagios run the checks since I'm already using it to 
monitor the other stuff through snmp.

Thanks,
Dan Urist

set your 'retry_check_interval' in your service to something insanely
high.

one year is 33053184 minutes.  one month is 2678400 minutes.

make sure you adjust your notification_interval appropriately or you'll
be an unhappy on-call admin.

If you don't check more often than that...I dunno why you'd care what
its state is :)

Message-ID: <20031208230223.GB755@flacid.org>

Hello,

After much googling and reading, and rereading, I can't seem to
figure this out.

I just did a fresh install, I went through each cfg file, changed
everything to what I wanted, setup my httpd.conf file, and I setup
my .htaccess file.  

When I attempt to open the web interface, I get the following error:

It appears as though you do not have permission to view information
for any of the services 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.

This is if I authenticate using the user 'jason'.  If I changed the
cgi.cfg file to say:

use_authentication=0
default_user_name=jason

I am then allowed to view everything that I need to.

Is there a way to enable authentication and not have that error
message show up anymore?

root at dexedrine [/usr/local/nagios/etc] (9) % grep authorized_for cgi.cfg
authorized_for_system_information=*
authorized_for_configuration_information=*
authorized_for_system_commands=*
authorized_for_all_services=*
authorized_for_all_hosts=*
authorized_for_all_service_commands=*
authorized_for_all_host_commands=*

I also setup these, I tried putting jason in instead of *, that
doesn't help either.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <FJEHIPBACBJHHEAGEJCPAEGKEFAA.agupta@yahoo-inc.com>

Hi,

Is there an option in Nagios to *schedule* disabling of checks?

Currently, we have Event Handlers that try to restart the processes on
remote machines. We want these handlers disabled during a Scheduled
downtime. But scheduled downtime is only for suppressing notifications.
Checks do happen, and event handlers are invoked.

thanks

Look, I'm really not sure why you are misreading me yet again, but
seriously -- I wasn't asking for advice.  I was asking if anyone had
already written code to solve this problem.

It's not personal, it's just not the question I asked.  I asked about code,
not workarounds.

You don't.  You only indicate the dependancies of the paths between the
host that is checking and the host that is being checked.  Between the
nagios systems is not part of the architecture.

Coordinates allow you to make it look how you want.  The dependancies are
how it determines when to test and when to alert.  That's why we're saying
that you shouldn't be using the statusmap for logical layout reasons.
Dependancies are crucial to monitoring.  The statusmap is made to show you
the logical layout FROM A DEPENDANCY perspective.

And that's dependancy of the tests.  What passes between nagios master and
slave is not relevant to dependancy.
..relevant to YOU, but not relevant to Nagios ;-)

Hm.  My mind rebels against this notion because it doesn't really make
sense.  Either a hostgroup has a host or it doesn't.  There is no half way.

BUT, I could see being useful on a service:

service ssh {
	hostgroup			webservers
	exclude_hosts		nossh-1,nossh-2

	-or-

service ping {
	host				*
	exclude_hosts		noping-1,noping-2

Subject: Problem with extended service info

Has anyone been able to get this working? I'm having the same problem as
Chris. No matter what I do, I cannot get service icons to appear. I've
followed all the guidelines for APAN as well to get the graph service icons
to appear with no luck as well.

I have confirmed existence of images and proper permissions for all.

Hello,

I am having a problem getting extended service graph icon to show up on the
status page.  I have configured the cgi.cfg to use extendedservice info file
and I do not have it configured to use database.

xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/serviceextinfo.cfg

I have configured the extended service file as follows.

serviceextinfo{
        host_name               cup1-dc1
        service_description     Disk-usage
        notes_url
http://nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/apan.cgi?host=cup1-dc1&service=Disk-usage
        icon_image              graph.png
        icon_image_alt          View graphs
}

The graph icon is in the logos subdirectory, but won't show up on the status
page?  I have restarted Nagios numerous times.

I am running Nagios 1.1 on RH 9 with plugins-1.3.1-5.

Any advide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Subject: Disabling checks in Nagios
References: <FJEHIPBACBJHHEAGEJCPAEGKEFAA.agupta@yahoo-inc.com>
Message-ID: <br3kms$5ai$1@sea.gmane.org>

One way is to use one of the external command scripts
(see here http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php#misc)
and edit the script to use DISABLE_SVC_CHECK and ENABLE_SVC_CHECK.
Scheduling can easily be done using an external scheduler like cron or at,
depending on your needs.
Info about the format of external commands can be found here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/extcommands.html

For example:
# echo "disable_svc_chk.sh foobar ping" | at 0300
job 6 at 2003-12-16 03:00
# echo "enable_svc_chk.sh foobar ping" | at 0330
job 7 at 2003-12-16 03:30

There may exist a script to do such a thing already somewhere, but if there
is, they forgot to tell me.  :)

You can also define a check_period that excludes the intented downtime.

Subject: missing: statusmap.cgi
Message-ID: <52B61873A3467540AF8D4C08BA3AE52A16AE59@ags01.ausgeo.com.au>

Hi all,

I have nagios up and running, however I get a 404 when clicking on the
'Status Map' link.

The statusmap.c file was in the tar archive when I originally compiled
nagios, and the cgi directory has statuswml.cgi / statuswrl.cgi, but
statusmap.cgi is nowhere to be found.

Does anyone know what happened? I'm running Nagios 1.1 with the latest
plug-ins.

Thanks.

-Patrick

I had this problem too and the fix for me had nothing to do with the 
libssl or libcrypto libs or ./configure --disable-ssl. What I was doing 
was mistakingly running nrpe with the wrong config file (doh!). I was 
running:

     ./nrpe -c commands.cfg -d

instead of:

     ./nrpe -c nrpe.cfg -d

In fact, I found that you can run nrpe with an empty text file as a 
config file and it doesn't seem to have a problem:

     touch test.cfg
     ./nrpe -c test.cfg -d

... no problem until you try to connect:

     ./check_nrpe -H hostname.domain.com -c check_users
     CHECK: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

So make SURE that the config file your feeding nrpe is the actual nrpe 
config file and not the commands config or something. Hope this helps 
some.

monitors all hosts on site + everything that site b is monitorin (via nrpe), 
but site b only monitors site b. If there is a problem on site b host and the 
problem is acknowledged on site a, will that information pass to nagios on 
site b using nrpe, or will I need to acknowledge the same problem on both 
hosts?

Subject: check_nt FILEAGE problem
Message-ID: <OF57777626.F19E61DF-ONC1256DF7.0039023A@avon.com>

Hi

I can't make ./check_nt -v FILEAGE to work

when using
check_nt (nagios-plugins 1.3.0-alpha1) 1.1.1.1 I'm getting "Could not parse
arguments" comment

when using
check_nt (nagios-plugins 1.3.1) 1.7.2.3 I'm getting a number for example
1070966662 and "Date: %d-%m-%Y %I:%M:%S %p" arguments don't help

Would you please tell me what can I do to make it work correctly. I read
manuals but I still standing in the same place.

Thanks
Michal Mazurek

You need the appropriate versions of nsclient and check_nt.  Get them from

Subject: RES: 1 check at a time
Message-ID: <DA0EC1B24AC9144AB473DD1604661FF03FA53A@spovdms001.globocabo.com.br>

It appear?s that nagios is tring to check a host. Try Disable the
use_aggressive_host_check option, since when nagios check a host, it does
nothing else. This is the doc on Use_aggresive_host_check :
Nagios tries to be smart about how and when it checks the status of hosts.
In general, disabling this option will allow Nagios to make some smarter
decisions and check hosts a bit faster. Enabling this option will increase
the amount of time required to check hosts, but may improve reliability a
bit. Unless you have problems with Nagios not recognizing that a host
recovered, I would suggest not enabling this option. 

hope it help?s

I suspect you may be missing some of the GD or zlib
components. 

When you ran ./configure, did you notice if it
complained about not having the GD libraries or
similar? Looking through the configure.log may give
you some hints.

Subject: apan
Message-ID: <489AC10F32B1D5119FA000D0B720644A0602AEE2@srvexchange1>

You have to edit the file apan.cfg in /usr/local/nagios/apan

There you have to add a line for the service you are pinging.

You can also install nagmin 2.0.6, this has build-in support for ping and
snmp interface.

Cheers,

Harm

from:  http://apan.sourceforge.net/

Measure ping rount-trip times
1. Create a service-definition in Nagios: 
 define service {
host_name                      server
service_description            Ping
check_command                  apan!ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
name                           Ping
use                            generic-service
normal_check_interval          1
}

 
2. Create a RRD: 
 rrdtool create /usr/local/nagios/rrd/server_Ping.rrd -s 60
DS:ping:GAUGE:300:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:50400 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:43800 

 
3. Add a line in apan.cfg: 
 server;Ping;/usr/local/nagios/rrd/server_ping.rrd;ping;ping:LINE2;Ping
round-trip time;Seconds 

 
4. Add an icon and a link as extended service-info: 
 define serviceextinfo{
host_name               server
service_description     Ping
notes_url               /nagios/cgi-bin/apan.cgi?host=server&service=Ping
icon_image              graph.png
icon_image_alt          View graphs
}

Funny.  Reading back over the thread, I realized I was misreading it
this whole time to mean what you just explained below (I guess my brain
wanted it to work "the right way", too :))

Subject: Statistic and Performance metric gathering / displaying
Message-ID: <20031209164052.17133.qmail@mail.com>

I have had nagios up and running for some time and it works well. I am now interested in viewing performance data through the cgi interface. I have the binary compiled set with the following

./configure --with-mysql-xdata --with-default-perfdata

options. I have read the docs and it seems that there is the ability to perform some sort of post processing a\'la webalyzer on the actual files/db but I am wondering if there is some stock functionality within the cgis that will let users/managers view the ( for example %CPU usage on a 10 minute interval ) data .

There is a project on sf that looks like it wants to do this but has not put out any files yet. alternatively I could extract this data and do it in a custom fashion but Im wondering how everyone else does it.



thanks in advance. !!

Nagios uses the template-based config file format by default for
everything. There isn't anything special that you need to do (except do
not use --with-default-extinfo configure option ;) ).

./configure --with-htmurl=<foo> --with-cgiurl=<bar> will use
templated-based config files for everything.

Subject: Limiting notifications by group?
Message-ID: <20031209185310.GD50160@radix.cryptio.net>

Hi all,

I have a set of hosts all of which are running the same service (say, HTTP).  I
would like to have Nagios only send a notification when more than two of those
services go CRITICAL.

Basically, I've got a cluster of webservers, and I can lose two of them with no
problem, so I'd rather not get paged in the middle of night if one of them goes
down, but I do want to know if three of them goes down.

Has anybody done this already?

Message-ID: <E1ATnwB-0001Jm-UT@sc8-sf-mx1.sourceforge.net>

I am having the weirdest problems! I cannot seem to get nagios to notify
correctly. It will notify only one contact group when a service or host goes
critical, but it will notify everyone (correctly) when the service or host
recovers. I have everything set exactly the same as far as I can see for
both groups! 

 

I use nagmin to generate config files. My default notification in nagmin is
admin,helpdesk < I've tried it w/ a , and a space and it still does not work
as it's supposed to. Any suggestions?

Even more strange, I've removed the admin group completely from the
notification field in all services hosts and hostgroups and yet it will only
send critical notifications to that group. This thing has a mind of it's
own!

Is nagios being restarted after these changes are made? Is there perhaps
an old nagios process still hanging around?

US Stock Market - Stock Profile of the Week

Symbol: MBTT
Market: OTC.BB
Sector: ELECTRONICS


Before we begin our profile we have very exciting, breaking news...

Renowned Satellite Industry Expert Dr. Arthur R. Tilford Joins MB Tech


BREAKING NEWS - (PRIMEZONE) - MB Tech, Inc. (OTC.BB: MBTT) announces that Dr. Arthur R. Tilford, formerly with Hughes Electronics (NYSE: GMH), has been retained by the Company to provide technical consulting and advisory services.

Tilford is an aerospace industry veteran responsible for a total of 11 patents and patent applications within the field, having received Hughes' Chairman's Award for DirecDuo, solo engineering efforts in 1997. He is an expert system designer and Federal Licensing and Certifying Engineer. He has authored several books, including Satellite Fieldbook Quarterly(c) -- Hughes S&C, CA, the contents of which describe all parameters of every C/Ku band geo-satellite in the world and the over 400 page Satellite Workbook(c) for use in satellite engineering classes, taught by him, at the California State University (CSUF at CSULB).

Tilford worked with Netune Communications, where he was responsible for providing transponder allocations, domestic and international link-budget calculations for narrow to very-wide-band satellite system and writing, calculating and applying for FCC and RA transmit licenses.

He also assigned parameters for RF sub-system design and is an expert in radiation hazard compliance.

Hanwook Bae, President of MB Tech, commented, ``The importance of Dr. Tilford joining the Company cannot be underestimated. He is an industry leader with numerous patents relating to antenna design and an immense knowledge of the satellite Internet market. His incredible technical knowledge will allow us to dramatically step up our new initiatives, catapulting us to the forefront of our industry.'' He added, ``This is yet another positive step forward in the overall paradigm shift for the Company. We have moved from being a manufacturer of satellite components, to a Company that will lead the consumer satellite electronics industry.''




STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK

MB Tech is a global manufacturer and distributor of satellite components. The primary product MB Tech produces is "LNB" (Low-Noise Blockdown) converters, which are the essential element enabling DBS satellites to receive and convert satellite transmission signals. MB Tech currently serves the satellite television market, and is expanding to serve the satellite radio and military hardware sectors. MB Tech manufactures several proprietary LNB solutions that differentiate it from competitors. MB Tech's product line includes a dual-horn LNB which allows multiple set-top boxes to be connected to a single satellite dish, enabling viewing of multiple channels simultaneously on different television monitors, and a tri-horn LNB, which provides the ability to download signals from multiple satellites over a single dish.



TECHNOLOGY

MB Tech has improved on conventional designs and can manufacture units more efficiently and less expensively than the competition. MB Tech specializes in LNB electronics, it is the ONLY thing we do.
 
 
An LNB converter transforms the satellite transmission into a useable signal. MB Tech has developed a special new breed of LNB converter which allows the signal to feed separate televisions or other 'boxes' with different channels. The signal coming in from one dish can be distributed through MB Tech's 'dual and triple horned' LNB converter such that multiple channels can be viewed, or different channels and Internet access can be delivered.. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
 
 
Other technological objectives have been to develop LNB for G.P.S. equipment, and small type two horn technology as well as UBC DSS type LNB. These objectives have been achieved and the Company is currently speaking with larger American based technology companies about the technology. 



PRODUCTS

MB Tech products are innovative! We rely on superior technology to be an integral part of our business. We have made a serious committment to ongoing R&D to stay ahead of the curve.

MB Tech, Inc traces its roots back to 2000 with the development of 3 types of LNB (DSS type). Continuous reinvention and rapid transformation are themes throughout our history. Led by our top-notch technology, our company offered a new breed of satellite broadcasting solutions to clients?solutions that customized LNB with 3 or 4 horns.

Click here to see our product milestones.

Within the next two years, MB Tech will spend over 80 million dollars on continuing Research and development of our products. We will continue a process of product renewal that will assure products with features and functionality that will be attractive to the market.




MDI: MERRILL LYNCH COMENTS ON AD TRENDS IN THE MEDIA SECTOR

Merrill Lynch surveyed newspapers, TV stations and radio stations to try to understand the divergent trends between local and national advertising in the current recovery. They noted that U.S. ad expenditures tend to keep pace with or slightly outperform the economy over time. As such, the rise of media outlets should not necessarily lead to higher ad spending but most likely to market share shifts among the mediums. The surveys showed that local cable is becoming a more competitive force, but overall, they found no major structural issues impacting the dynamics between local and national ad spending.

Merrill noted that national advertisers typically base their budgets on projected economic trends and therefore can afford to spend a bit ahead of a turn in the cycle. However, local advertisers, with more limited resources, are more likely to lag in spending coming out of a recovery as they need to see an immediate return on investment. They pointed out that a better economy should eliminate the differences.

The firm believes there are many positive themes occurring with newspapers today (e.g. collaborative selling efforts, product innovation, renewed focus on readership) that are being masked by the downturn in department store spending, which appears to be secular, and the cyclical issue of help wanted, which is finally turning positive.

>From a consumer perspective, they believe radio is a relatively protected medium. However, the industry remains beset with excess inventory, following unsustainable demand in the late 1990's. A reduction in spots and/or lower prices could limit near term growth, yet support long term growth, giving investors something to chase.

TV is about to enter the growth phase of its two year cycle, but its low growth, single revenue stream is likely the main target for local cable TV and should also be impacted by increased DVR penetration, which gives the firm little to get excited about.

Subject: Monitoring process may not be running! ...
Message-ID: <1071007594.28880.93.camel@colonel.cos.agilent.com>

I have Nagios 1.1 running using MySQL on a RH 9.
I get "Monitoring process may not be running!" a lot when I don't think
I should get it at all.  I have the following defined in cgi.cfg 

nagios_check_command=/opt/monitorsvr/libexec/check_nagios
/opt/monitorsvr/var/nagios.log 10 '/opt/monitorsvr/bin/nagios'

The problem seems to be /opt/monitorsvr/var/nagios.log is not getting
updated on a regular basis however the database is.  If I use a database
for programstatus should I use an other command to check if Nagios is
running?  The database updates every 15 seconds as expected.  What do
other use?

Thank you,
      Jamie

You'll need to use check_nagios_db (found in the plugins contrib
directory) instead of check_nagios.

Thank you, that did the trick.  Now if I can get Apache 2.0 to

Nope - no errors. I recompiled it and still don't have the cgi's - only
the initial .c file for statusmap...?

Subject: 18000 services to check and Nagios just sits and waits.
Message-ID: <200312100955.hBA9t9jt095509@idefix.net>

Hi all,

I'm trying to convince Nagios it should perform very aggressively
but somehow it won't work. 
When reading the documentation it states everywhere that Nagios
will consume all CPU power you throw at it if you don't take care.
Well, with me it doesn't and I really want it to.

The situation:
- All our machines send some email to the Nagios server which 
  we put in files and wrote a plugin to check those files.

- There are a lot of machines (almost 900) and we want to do a lot
  of checks (18000).

- To make it worse, we forced Nagios to use MySQL for the service_status
  and host_status data (as we created our own frontend and use MySQL as
  the interface).

To make sure Nagios will be able to abuse the hardware as much as it can
we threw in a dual xeon 3 GHz machine with 2GB memory and some 15k RPM
SCSI disks. To make it better, Linux understands hyperthreading and
makes it a total of 4 CPU's.
To prevent MySQL to abuse the arraycontroller to much we make the
service_status and host_status tables HEAP so they only use memory.

I would assume that Nagios would at least try to fork something like
40 to 100 processes and would consume at least one CPU but it doesn't.
It won't abuse the memory either as there is about 1GB of memory left.

It only seems to be sitting there with 4 to 6 proccesses and allowing
the latency to go up and up like there's no tomorrow. Or at least there
won't be any checks tomorrow.

We've tried both the smart Nagios options as the dumb options and
event tried to think ourselves and calculating the right configvalues
but nothing seems to work.

So, if anyone has a clue, please share it with me. :)
Thanks so far,
Martin

>From your question it seems tha Nagios can't start
more than 4-6 processes.. very strange: usually it
starts hundreds of checks. 

What can you say about "scheduling queue" ? Are all
checks correctly scheduled ? And, if so are them
orphanized (you should enable "orphanize" option to
understand it)? or they just wait in latency?

If Nagios configuration is OK ( max_concurrent_checks
and so on) you can try to glance at Linux kernel
parameters (i.e. "ulimit" and others).

Good luck

Dear Surya.

An RPM file will give you the already compiled files. ./configure is 
used when configuring before the compilation step is taken.

In essence, you'd need a SRPM (Source RPM) instead, or just the plain 
source code from the Nagios web site. Which ever you prefer I guess...

Message-ID: <CC82B9FFDF62234D94FC571FBD768B6981CA45@nldhexc01.okioc.com>

Help!
I'm trying to recompile for the stausmap.cgi after installing libgd, libpng and libjpeg. I get messages saying that it now needs gd-devel, png-devel etc. I've hunted on the web for these libraries but no joy! Does anyone where I can get these? Or can anyone send me a statusmap.cgi?
Another quick question - How do I change the backdrop colours in statuswrl/3D-status map?

Many Thanks

Greg

Subject: [Nagios-users] Re: Disabling checks in Nagios

One way is to use one of the external command scripts
(see here http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php#misc)
and edit the script to use DISABLE_SVC_CHECK and ENABLE_SVC_CHECK.
Scheduling can easily be done using an external scheduler like cron or at,
depending on your needs.
Info about the format of external commands can be found here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/extcommands.html

For example:
# echo "disable_svc_chk.sh foobar ping" | at 0300
job 6 at 2003-12-16 03:00
# echo "enable_svc_chk.sh foobar ping" | at 0330
job 7 at 2003-12-16 03:30

There may exist a script to do such a thing already somewhere, but if there
is, they forgot to tell me.  :)

You can also define a check_period that excludes the intented downtime.

Hi all,

I have nagios up and running, however I get a 404 when clicking on the
'Status Map' link.

The statusmap.c file was in the tar archive when I originally compiled
nagios, and the cgi directory has statuswml.cgi / statuswrl.cgi, but
statusmap.cgi is nowhere to be found.

Does anyone know what happened? I'm running Nagios 1.1 with the latest
plug-ins.

Thanks.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nrpe generic question


Will I be able to do the following, if I use nrpe. I have two sites, site a 
monitors all hosts on site + everything that site b is monitorin (via nrpe), 
but site b only monitors site b. If there is a problem on site b host and the 
problem is acknowledged on site a, will that information pass to nagios on 
site b using nrpe, or will I need to acknowledge the same problem on both 
hosts?

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_nt FILEAGE problem

Hi

I can't make ./check_nt -v FILEAGE to work

when using
check_nt (nagios-plugins 1.3.0-alpha1) 1.1.1.1 I'm getting "Could not parse
arguments" comment

when using
check_nt (nagios-plugins 1.3.1) 1.7.2.3 I'm getting a number for example
1070966662 and "Date: %d-%m-%Y %I:%M:%S %p" arguments don't help

Would you please tell me what can I do to make it work correctly. I read
manuals but I still standing in the same place.

Thanks
Michal Mazurek

You need the appropriate versions of nsclient and check_nt.  Get them from
http://support.tsmgsoftware.com

Subject: RES: [Nagios-users] 1 check at a time
Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2003 10:57:03 -0200 

It appear=B4s that nagios is tring to check a host. Try Disable the
use_aggressive_host_check option, since when nagios check a host, it =
does
nothing else. This is the doc on Use_aggresive_host_check :
Nagios tries to be smart about how and when it checks the status of =
hosts.
In general, disabling this option will allow Nagios to make some =
smarter
decisions and check hosts a bit faster. Enabling this option will =
increase
the amount of time required to check hosts, but may improve reliability =
a
bit. Unless you have problems with Nagios not recognizing that a host
recovered, I would suggest not enabling this option.=20

hope it help=B4s=20

I suspect you may be missing some of the GD or zlib
components. 

When you ran ./configure, did you notice if it
complained about not having the GD libraries or
similar? Looking through the configure.log may give
you some hints.

You have to edit the file apan.cfg in /usr/local/nagios/apan

There you have to add a line for the service you are pinging.

You can also install nagmin 2.0.6, this has build-in support for ping and
snmp interface.

Cheers,

Harm

from:  http://apan.sourceforge.net/

Measure ping rount-trip times
1. Create a service-definition in Nagios: 
 define service {
host_name                      server
service_description            Ping
check_command                  apan!ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
name                           Ping
use                            generic-service
normal_check_interval          1
}

 
2. Create a RRD: 
 rrdtool create /usr/local/nagios/rrd/server_Ping.rrd -s 60
DS:ping:GAUGE:300:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:50400 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:43800 

 
3. Add a line in apan.cfg: 
 server;Ping;/usr/local/nagios/rrd/server_ping.rrd;ping;ping:LINE2;Ping
round-trip time;Seconds 

 
4. Add an icon and a link as extended service-info: 
 define serviceextinfo{
host_name               server
service_description     Ping
notes_url               /nagios/cgi-bin/apan.cgi?host=server&service=Ping
icon_image              graph.png
icon_image_alt          View graphs
}

I'm having some issues with check_nwstat. I get " Socket timeout after

./check_nwstat manually with no problem.  Here is my relavent config

Funny.  Reading back over the thread, I realized I was misreading it

Subject: [Nagios-users] Statistic and Performance metric gathering / displaying

I have had nagios up and running for some time and it works well. I am now interested in viewing performance data through the cgi interface. I have the binary compiled set with the following

./configure --with-mysql-xdata --with-default-perfdata

options. I have read the docs and it seems that there is the ability to perform some sort of post processing a\'la webalyzer on the actual files/db but I am wondering if there is some stock functionality within the cgis that will let users/managers view the ( for example %CPU usage on a 10 minute interval ) data .

There is a project on sf that looks like it wants to do this but has not put out any files yet. alternatively I could extract this data and do it in a custom fashion but Im wondering how everyone else does it.



thanks in advance. !!

There's nothing built in but a number of people are using APAN
(http://apan.sf.net).

Nagios uses the template-based config file format by default for
everything. There isn't anything special that you need to do (except do
not use --with-default-extinfo configure option ;) ).

./configure --with-htmurl=3D<foo> --with-cgiurl=3D<bar> will use
templated-based config files for everything.

Hi all,

I have a set of hosts all of which are running the same service (say, HTTP).  I
would like to have Nagios only send a notification when more than two of those
services go CRITICAL.

Basically, I've got a cluster of webservers, and I can lose two of them with no
problem, so I'd rather not get paged in the middle of night if one of them goes
down, but I do want to know if three of them goes down.

Has anybody done this already?

I am having the weirdest problems! I cannot seem to get nagios to notify
correctly. It will notify only one contact group when a service or host goes
critical, but it will notify everyone (correctly) when the service or host
recovers. I have everything set exactly the same as far as I can see for
both groups! 

 

I use nagmin to generate config files. My default notification in nagmin is
admin,helpdesk < I've tried it w/ a , and a space and it still does not work
as it's supposed to. Any suggestions?

Even more strange, I've removed the admin group completely from the
notification field in all services hosts and hostgroups and yet it will only
send critical notifications to that group. This thing has a mind of it's

Is nagios being restarted after these changes are made? Is there perhaps
an old nagios process still hanging around?

US Stock Market - Stock Profile of the Week

Symbol: MBTT
Market: OTC.BB
Sector: ELECTRONICS


Before we begin our profile we have very exciting, breaking news...

Renowned Satellite Industry Expert Dr. Arthur R. Tilford Joins MB Tech


BREAKING NEWS - (PRIMEZONE) - MB Tech, Inc. (OTC.BB: MBTT) announces that =
Dr. Arthur R. Tilford, formerly with Hughes Electronics (NYSE: GMH), has b=
een retained by the Company to provide technical consulting and advisory s=
ervices.

Tilford is an aerospace industry veteran responsible for a total of 11 pat=
ents and patent applications within the field, having received Hughes' Cha=
irman's Award for DirecDuo, solo engineering efforts in 1997. He is an exp=
ert system designer and Federal Licensing and Certifying Engineer. He has =
authored several books, including Satellite Fieldbook Quarterly(c) -- Hugh=
es S&C, CA, the contents of which describe all parameters of every C/Ku ba=
nd geo-satellite in the world and the over 400 page Satellite Workbook(c) =
for use in satellite engineering classes, taught by him, at the California=
 State University (CSUF at CSULB).

Tilford worked with Netune Communications, where he was responsible for pr=
oviding transponder allocations, domestic and international link-budget ca=
lculations for narrow to very-wide-band satellite system and writing, calc=
ulating and applying for FCC and RA transmit licenses.

He also assigned parameters for RF sub-system design and is an expert in r=
adiation hazard compliance.

Hanwook Bae, President of MB Tech, commented, ``The importance of Dr. Tilf=
ord joining the Company cannot be underestimated. He is an industry leader=
 with numerous patents relating to antenna design and an immense knowledge=
 of the satellite Internet market. His incredible technical knowledge will=
 allow us to dramatically step up our new initiatives, catapulting us to t=
he forefront of our industry.'' He added, ``This is yet another positive s=
tep forward in the overall paradigm shift for the Company. We have moved f=
rom being a manufacturer of satellite components, to a Company that will l=
ead the consumer satellite electronics industry.''




STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK

MB Tech is a global manufacturer and distributor of satellite components. =
The primary product MB Tech produces is "LNB" (Low-Noise Blockdown) conver=
ters, which are the essential element enabling DBS satellites to receive a=
nd convert satellite transmission signals. MB Tech currently serves the sa=
tellite television market, and is expanding to serve the satellite radio a=
nd military hardware sectors. MB Tech manufactures several proprietary LNB=
 solutions that differentiate it from competitors. MB Tech's product line =
includes a dual-horn LNB which allows multiple set-top boxes to be connect=
ed to a single satellite dish, enabling viewing of multiple channels simul=
taneously on different television monitors, and a tri-horn LNB, which prov=
ides the ability to download signals from multiple satellites over a singl=
e dish.



TECHNOLOGY

MB Tech has improved on conventional designs and can manufacture units mor=
e efficiently and less expensively than the competition. MB Tech specializ=
es in LNB electronics, it is the ONLY thing we do.
 
 
An LNB converter transforms the satellite transmission into a useable sign=
al. MB Tech has developed a special new breed of LNB converter which allow=
s the signal to feed separate televisions or other 'boxes' with different =
channels. The signal coming in from one dish can be distributed through MB=
 Tech's 'dual and triple horned' LNB converter such that multiple channels=
 can be viewed, or different channels and Internet access can be delivered=
.. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
 
 
Other technological objectives have been to develop LNB for G.P.S. equipme=
nt, and small type two horn technology as well as UBC DSS type LNB. These =
objectives have been achieved and the Company is currently speaking with l=
arger American based technology companies about the technology. 



PRODUCTS

MB Tech products are innovative! We rely on superior technology to be an i=
ntegral part of our business. We have made a serious committment to ongoin=
g R&D to stay ahead of the curve.

MB Tech, Inc traces its roots back to 2000 with the development of 3 types=
 of LNB (DSS type). Continuous reinvention and rapid transformation are th=
emes throughout our history. Led by our top-notch technology, our company =
offered a new breed of satellite broadcasting solutions to clients?solutio=
ns that customized LNB with 3 or 4 horns.

Click here to see our product milestones.

Within the next two years, MB Tech will spend over 80 million dollars on c=
ontinuing Research and development of our products. We will continue a pro=
cess of product renewal that will assure products with features and functi=
onality that will be attractive to the market.




MDI: MERRILL LYNCH COMENTS ON AD TRENDS IN THE MEDIA SECTOR

Merrill Lynch surveyed newspapers, TV stations and radio stations to try t=
o understand the divergent trends between local and national advertising i=
n the current recovery. They noted that U.S. ad expenditures tend to keep =
pace with or slightly outperform the economy over time. As such, the rise =
of media outlets should not necessarily lead to higher ad spending but mos=
t likely to market share shifts among the mediums. The surveys showed that=
 local cable is becoming a more competitive force, but overall, they found=
 no major structural issues impacting the dynamics between local and natio=
nal ad spending.

Merrill noted that national advertisers typically base their budgets on pr=
ojected economic trends and therefore can afford to spend a bit ahead of a=
 turn in the cycle. However, local advertisers, with more limited resource=
s, are more likely to lag in spending coming out of a recovery as they nee=
d to see an immediate return on investment. They pointed out that a better=
 economy should eliminate the differences.

The firm believes there are many positive themes occurring with newspapers=
 today (e.g. collaborative selling efforts, product innovation, renewed fo=
cus on readership) that are being masked by the downturn in department sto=
re spending, which appears to be secular, and the cyclical issue of help w=
anted, which is finally turning positive.

>From a consumer perspective, they believe radio is a relatively protected =
medium. However, the industry remains beset with excess inventory, followi=
ng unsustainable demand in the late 1990's. A reduction in spots and/or lo=
wer prices could limit near term growth, yet support long term growth, giv=
ing investors something to chase.

TV is about to enter the growth phase of its two year cycle, but its low g=
rowth, single revenue stream is likely the main target for local cable TV =
and should also be impacted by increased DVR penetration, which gives the =
firm little to get excited about.

I should get it at all.  I have the following defined in cgi.cfg 

nagios_check_command=/opt/monitorsvr/libexec/check_nagios
/opt/monitorsvr/var/nagios.log 10 '/opt/monitorsvr/bin/nagios'

The problem seems to be /opt/monitorsvr/var/nagios.log is not getting
updated on a regular basis however the database is.  If I use a database
for programstatus should I use an other command to check if Nagios is
running?  The database updates every 15 seconds as expected.  What do
other use?

Thank you,
      Jamie

You'll need to use check_nagios_db (found in the plugins contrib
directory) instead of check_nagios.

Thank you, that did the trick.  Now if I can get Apache 2.0 to
authenticate user I will be good to go - it refuses to prompt for a
login.

Subject: [Nagios-users] NRPE 1.8 Error

Hi,

I am using NRPE 1.8 on an HP-UX Server (version 11.0). The check_nrpe is running on Nagios 1.0 (Red Hat Linux 9). When I execute the check_nrpe from the command line I get the following error:

CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes. Are we allowed to connect to the host? 

The same error is also received from the services view of Nagios.

A telnet to the HP-UX Server from the nagios host provides the following output:

[root at d19933 libexec]# telnet 192.168.0.10 5666
Trying 192.168.0.10...
Connected to 192.168.0.10.
Escape character is '^]'.

NRPE - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor
Copyright (c) 1999-2003 Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)
Version: 1.8
Last Modified: 01-16-2003
License: GPL

Usage: -c -c <config_file> [mode]

Options:
 <config_file> = Name of config file to use
 [mode]        = Determines how NRPE should run. Valid modes:
   --inetd     = Run as a service under inetd or xinetd
   --daemon    = Run as a standalone daemon

Notes:
This program is designed to process requests from the check_nrpe
plugin on the host(s) running Nagios.  It can run as a service
under inetd or xinetd (read the docs for info on this), or as a
standalone daemon. Once a request is received from an authorized
host, NRPE will execute the command/plugin (as defined in the
config file) and return the plugin output and return code to the
check_nrpe plugin.

Connection closed by foreign host.
[root at d19933 libexec]#

The nrpe daemon is running under the user "nagios". Have tried almost everything but with little success.

Please advice..

Thanks,
RB

Subject: Plugin to check TN3270E Connections
Message-ID: <F79E43BA04BBE44E8D4FDFB4256C292A1FD8CF@corpatlex01.corp.promisant.com>

Good day all,

Has anyone created a plugin or process for gracefully checking
connectivity to a mainframe servicing TN3270E sessions? I can telnet to
the port in question (5053), but the mainframe admins are showing errors
in their log files from the disconnects.

I guess I could tcpdump an actual session and create an expect script,
but thought I'd see if anyone else has already done this.

Subject: graphic-gdlib-recognition problem
Message-ID: <200312100923.16927.chuck@sbbsnet.net>

I attempted to search the lists for this but sourceforge was first down for 
maint. then there were errors in trying to retrieve the forum.

I am working with redhat 9 and the latest nagios tar (I don't use rpm when I 
can help it). The system performs flawlessly with the exception of statistics 
and 3d graphs (any graphs). Compiling Nagios says it cannot find gdlib 
support for the png/gif/jpg.

So , I got the lastest stable gdlibs tar and installed them, then made sure 
that their directory was listed in /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig by itself 
with no cmdline parms.  Subsequent compilation STILL cannot find gdlibs.

Any ideas? My boss is on my butt to get this fixed. He wants to start using 
Nagios "yesterday" , not comprehending it is a somewhat involved 
installation/configuration process:).

Subject: More than one Nagios Instance ?
Message-ID: <000e01c3bf31$4942c080$140c140a@corp.intentia.net>

How does this happens ?
 
This is the output  from a ps

nagios    4447  0.0  0.1  2808 1824 ?        S    16:18   0:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

sometimes we have 20 or more, but they also disapears. Is this behavior normal ?
We also seems to loose notifications from time to time.

Subject: 18000 services to check and Nagios just sits and waits.
Message-ID: <370ACCFA5BB3B346A31222E5559BF91F03A03E@mismail2.ena.com>

Congratulations. You have the largest single-host installation of nagios
that I have heard of. You haven't given any hard information about how
you have nagios configured so we're going to have to make a lot of
guesses until you provide specific information. Your host and service
check definitions as well as many options in nagios.cfg can have a
profound affect on the performance of the program. Here are some
suggestions from my personal experience which may or may not be
redundant for you:

Nagios.cfg -
	- command_check_interval=-1 (may have no affect in your setup)
	- max_concurrent_checks=xxx (You should run '/path/to/nagios -s
/path/to/nagios.cfg) for a lower estimate on this number. Increasing it
will not hurt to a point)
	- service_reaper_frequency=2 (or 1 if you want, I'd start with
2)
	- use_agressive_host_checking=0
	- aggregate_status_updates=1
	- status_update_interval=xxx (I suggest at least 60). This one
may actually be getting you. With 18000 services, it's going to take
some time to update the status in the db, even if it is in ram. Nagios
does a delete of the status tables, then an insert of the new
information. If you have the interval set at 30 seconds and the process
takes 29 seconds, that's all that nagios will be doing or it will only
have 30 seconds to process several hundred or thousand results).
	- inter_check_delay_method. When using the smart option nagios
will try to spread out your checks so that they all fit in your average
check interval. If you don't have max_concurrent_checks set high enough
or the service_reaper_frequency set low enough to allow this to happen
the initial checks can get spread over a significant period of time.

Host and service checks -
	- Use very simple host checks, single pings for example, with no
retry or disable host checks entirely. If any service returns a state
other than OK, nagios will aggressively check the status of the host and
stop doing everything else until max_retries has been reached on the
host check.
	- Use a sane check_interval. Don't expect nagios to be able to
complete 18,000 checks at 1 minute intervals.
	- Your custom plugin should be written in C or if it's perl you
should use the ePN. If it's written in perl it can be very expensive
without ePN as you need to launch a copy of perl every check as well.
	- If you're utilizing parenting or service dependencies these
may be problematic with large numbers of hosts/services (just guessing).
	- I'm not a programmer but I don't believe that just because
linux understand hyperthreading that a program will take advantage of
it.

Ulimits - by default, Redhat linux 7.3 only allows a user to have 1024
open files, a stack size of 8192 kbytes and 7168 concurrent processes.
You may need to adjust these once you get things going.

Presuming that you don't make any significant changes based on the
suggestions above, is there anything in nagios.log that might indicate a
problem? Have you tried running strace on any of the nagios processes to
find out exactly what they are doing?

Finally, since you've created your own front end I presume you've
realized that nagios pre-2.0 had a hard time with large numbers of hosts
and services, particularly for the cgis. 2.0 (will) incorporates several
changes that reportedly make working with large numbers of hosts and
services better. YMMV though and as far as I know the enhancements
mostly benefit the cgis.

Subject: More than one Nagios Instance ?
Message-ID: <370ACCFA5BB3B346A31222E5559BF91F03A03F@mismail2.ena.com>

Yes, it's normal. Nagios creates a child process to handle the processing of the service check. I'm not sure of the exact methodology though (fork(), clone(), whatever...).

As far as losing notifications you'll need to provide more specific information (when it happening, is it specific to a host or service, what your notify command is, how it's being sent out, what troubleshooting you've done, etc).

nagios??? 4447? 0.0? 0.1? 2808 1824 ???????? S??? 16:18?? 0:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

sometimes we have 20 or more, but they also disapears. Is this behavior normal ?
We also seems to loose notifications from time to time.

Just a guess but have you tried adding the nagios user to your trusted
users file? You'll probably need to restart sendmail after.

Subject: windows event viewer help
Message-ID: <0A00C1E031DB944D8DC13185CD6EAAA4AEC3B6@az33exm31.corp.mot.com>

Hello All,
I was wondering if there is a way to monitor windows event viewer  from nagios?  Or if anyone has a better idea how to do it?
 
What I am looking for is notification when a new system, application or security error is logged.  I would also want the capability to ignore some events.  I would really like to stick with a nagios solution if possible.
Rgds,
Jenn

Subject: CGI Authoristaion problem (and yes I have read the FAQ)
Message-ID: <3FD738EB.4010404@cjgarland.com>

Hi all
I've just recently installed nagios and am having a problem accessing 
the CGI reports when logged in as the default nagiosadmin user, all the 
CGIs report that I don't have permission to access them.

I've checked the authentication options referred to in FAQ 0048, and 
they all appear OK.  I've also added the nagiosadmin user to all of my 
contact groups.  Everything else appears to work jsut fine: my hosts are 
monitored to a database, and there are no errors in either the Apache or 
the Nagios log files.

This is the apache config I'm using.
<DirectoryMatch /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/>
       Options ExecCGI

       AllowOverride AuthConfig
       Order Allow,Deny
       Allow From All

       AuthName "Nagios Access"
       AuthType Basic
       AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
       require valid-user
</DirectoryMatch>

Alias /netsaint /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/
Alias /nagios /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/
<DirectoryMatch /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/>
       Options FollowSymLinks

       AllowOverride AuthConfig
       Order Allow,Deny
       Allow From All

       AuthName "Nagios Access"
       AuthType Basic
       AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
       require valid-user
</DirectoryMatch>

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I read the documentation about the configuration files
but ( probably because im french ) I don't understand
what the notification_period host variable does?

What is it meant to?

Can someone give me a real life exemple ?

Thanx in advance.

It specifies the time periods during which nagios will sent out
notifications.

>

If you have a time_period defined that covers 24 hours, seven days a
week, and that is set as the notification_period, nagios will send out
notifications whenever they happen.

If you have a time_period defined that excludes Saturday and Sunday and
that is set as the notification_period, nagios will send out
notifications Monday through Friday, but not on Saturday and Sunday (and
they will not be queued anywhere).

You don't explicitly say it but do you get prompted for your username
and password? When you see the error page, in the top left hand box,
what does nagios show for 'logged in as'? For future reference, what OS,
apache and nagios versions are you using?

Excellent info, thanks Marc.  I have 4000 hosts/8000 services that I have
been fighting.  I will play with these settings.  

Thanks. 

Ric.

Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] 18000 services to check and Nagios just sits and
waits.

Congratulations. You have the largest single-host installation of nagios
that I have heard of. You haven't given any hard information about how
you have nagios configured so we're going to have to make a lot of
guesses until you provide specific information. Your host and service
check definitions as well as many options in nagios.cfg can have a
profound affect on the performance of the program. Here are some
suggestions from my personal experience which may or may not be
redundant for you:

Nagios.cfg -
	- command_check_interval=-1 (may have no affect in your setup)
	- max_concurrent_checks=xxx (You should run '/path/to/nagios -s
/path/to/nagios.cfg) for a lower estimate on this number. Increasing it
will not hurt to a point)
	- service_reaper_frequency=2 (or 1 if you want, I'd start with
2)
	- use_agressive_host_checking=0
	- aggregate_status_updates=1
	- status_update_interval=xxx (I suggest at least 60). This one
may actually be getting you. With 18000 services, it's going to take
some time to update the status in the db, even if it is in ram. Nagios
does a delete of the status tables, then an insert of the new
information. If you have the interval set at 30 seconds and the process
takes 29 seconds, that's all that nagios will be doing or it will only
have 30 seconds to process several hundred or thousand results).
	- inter_check_delay_method. When using the smart option nagios
will try to spread out your checks so that they all fit in your average
check interval. If you don't have max_concurrent_checks set high enough
or the service_reaper_frequency set low enough to allow this to happen
the initial checks can get spread over a significant period of time.

Host and service checks -
	- Use very simple host checks, single pings for example, with no
retry or disable host checks entirely. If any service returns a state
other than OK, nagios will aggressively check the status of the host and
stop doing everything else until max_retries has been reached on the
host check.
	- Use a sane check_interval. Don't expect nagios to be able to
complete 18,000 checks at 1 minute intervals.
	- Your custom plugin should be written in C or if it's perl you
should use the ePN. If it's written in perl it can be very expensive
without ePN as you need to launch a copy of perl every check as well.
	- If you're utilizing parenting or service dependencies these
may be problematic with large numbers of hosts/services (just guessing).
	- I'm not a programmer but I don't believe that just because
linux understand hyperthreading that a program will take advantage of
it.

Ulimits - by default, Redhat linux 7.3 only allows a user to have 1024
open files, a stack size of 8192 kbytes and 7168 concurrent processes.
You may need to adjust these once you get things going.

Presuming that you don't make any significant changes based on the
suggestions above, is there anything in nagios.log that might indicate a
problem? Have you tried running strace on any of the nagios processes to
find out exactly what they are doing?

Finally, since you've created your own front end I presume you've
realized that nagios pre-2.0 had a hard time with large numbers of hosts
and services, particularly for the cgis. 2.0 (will) incorporates several
changes that reportedly make working with large numbers of hosts and
services better. YMMV though and as far as I know the enhancements
mostly benefit the cgis.

To be blunt, send us the pertinent config information. A sample host, service and command definition and the plugin output for a false positive would be a good start. OS, nagios and plugin versions would be useful too. The more information you provide to us the more help we can be.

Hello
I have already configured nagios, but it did not work well yet. I say that because all my hosts are for sure alive, but it still send me notifications that my hosts are down. What could I do?

Again proving the fact that the software is much smarter than its operator
:) hehe I figured out what the issue was with notification:

Escalations, I screwed up my escalation definition and it was only sending
emails out to the group defined in the escalation therefore it never even
sent to the standard group. So the software was actually doing what it was
told ;-0

Hosts and services reference contact_groups, not contacts. You'll need
to create the nagios contact_group and that will contain the nagios user
as a member.

Sorry to reply to my own post but just to be clear, the nagios user I
was referencing is not the linux nagios user but rather the nagios
contact -
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#contact. There
is no link between a nagios user and a linux user account.

Good Morning,
 
Hello All,

I am a new user at Nagios and I am trying my best to install the
software.
I followed the documentation on how to install nagios... I am using
RedHat 9 wit recent kernel.

I followed all the steps and got no any errors. But in documentation it
says that I should have 5 folders...
But for some reason I am missing "etc" folder...
 
Can anyone help me, how to solve this problem...

nagios starts spitting out totally wrong data.

Hi all,

I was wondering what you guys where thinking about the product of www.1-vision.com ?

It seems to be incorporated with Nagios, nmap, MRTG flavor, etc.

So, what do you think?

I've signed up for an online demo. It looks like they've taken nagios as
the core for monitoring and modified it. I wonder if they're respecting
the GPL and distributing their modifications. I can't seem to find it on
the web site.

Hi all,
i set my test-host with its services into fixed scheduled downtime for the

I tried another downtime for 2 hours, but this doesn't work.

Any suggestions???

I was looking at the trends for some of my hosts today and noticed that when
I wanted to look at the this  weeks trends, there are none.  I can see
trends from November 21 to 29th on any client I'm monitoring, but it seems

Andy,

I got some feedback from the Apan mailing list.  There is a compiler option
to enable this feature.  When you run ./configure you need to include
--with-default-extinfo option.  I am running the Nagios RPM compiled by Dag
Wiers and have not confirmed if this option was set when the package was
built.

Did you compile you version or are you using the RPM?

Regards,

Chris.

Has anyone been able to get this working? I'm having the same problem as
Chris. No matter what I do, I cannot get service icons to appear. I've
followed all the guidelines for APAN as well to get the graph service icons
to appear with no luck as well.

I have confirmed existence of images and proper permissions for all.

Hello,

I am having a problem getting extended service graph icon to show up on the
status page.  I have configured the cgi.cfg to use extendedservice info file
and I do not have it configured to use database.

xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/serviceextinfo.cfg

I have configured the extended service file as follows.

serviceextinfo{
        host_name               cup1-dc1
        service_description     Disk-usage
        notes_url
http://nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/apan.cgi?host=cup1-dc1&service=Disk-usage
        icon_image              graph.png
        icon_image_alt          View graphs
}

The graph icon is in the logos subdirectory, but won't show up on the status
page?  I have restarted Nagios numerous times.

I am running Nagios 1.1 on RH 9 with plugins-1.3.1-5.

Any advide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Good day all,

Has anyone created a plugin or process for gracefully checking
connectivity to a mainframe servicing TN3270E sessions? I can telnet to
the port in question (5053), but the mainframe admins are showing errors
in their log files from the disconnects.

I guess I could tcpdump an actual session and create an expect script,
but thought I'd see if anyone else has already done this.

Nope - no errors. I recompiled it and still don't have the cgi's - only
the initial .c file for statusmap...?

all and make install, it made them properly and it all worked. Without the 
make clean it will always remember the previous configuration errors.

 As far as I can determine, the only reason it will not make the statusmap, 
trends or histogram is when it cannot find proper headers and libs for the 
graphics libraries. Be sure that gdlib, gd-devel, libjpeg, jpeg-devel, 
libpng, png-devel are installed and the lib directories are in 
/etc/ld.so.conf and that you have run ldconfig after the lib installations. 
Then make clean and make all and make install and it should go nicely.

Hi all ..

I use Redhat 9 and nagios rpm installation from dag wieers and running well.

I've create user with command htpasswd -c /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users 
nagiosadmin  and other users. I've configure http.conf to use cgi auth too, 
create .htaccess in directory /usr/share/nagios and /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/ . 
But I can't login to open page with correct user  (etc. nagiosadmin). It's 
seems incorrect user/password. Anyone can help?

One question more, what's md5 purpose?

I've found the problem en fixed. The htpasswd.users is root permission. I 
change with chmod +r, and authentication is works.

Yes, you are correct. I was not thinking about md5 in a passwd. I was thinking
about an md5sum.

Subject: Using HTML Tags In External Commands
Message-ID: <D76C15B9-2BA0-11D8-9C2B-00039345125C@mac.com>

I'm a little puzzled...

I'm sending external process_service_check_result commands that contain 
a good amount of output text/html in them and I'm having a problem 
where the output is getting truncated. This example copied from 
nagios.log shows this happening:

[1071121845] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;orion;SNMP 
Trap;1;ATM4/0/0.12-aal5 layer (10.0.1.5) status is CRITICAL - ATM PVC

ATM PVC to Site 2 (22M)<br>GigabitEthernet1/0/0 (10.10.33.234) status 
is OK - LAN Connection to VLAN 111<br>GigabitEthernet10/0/0 
(10.10.36.50) status is OK - LAN Connection to VLAN 
222<br>GigabitEthernet2/0/0 (10.10.34.234) status is OK - LAN 
connection to VLAN 333<br>GigabitEthernet9/0/0 (10.10.35.50) status is 
OK - LAN Connection to VLAN 444<br>Loopback0 (10.1.40.10) status is OK 
<br>

[1071121855] SERVICE ALERT: orion;SNMP 
Trap;WARNING;HARD;3;ATM4/0/0.12-aal5 layer (10.0.1.5) status is 
CRITICAL - ATM PVC to Site 1 (22M)<br>ATM4/0/0.13-aal5 layer

(22M)<br>GigabitEthernet1/0/0 (10.10.33.234) status is OK - LAN 
Connection to VLAN 111<br>GigabitEthernet10/0/0 (10.10.36.50) status is 
OK - LAN Connection to VLAN 222<br>GigabitEthernet2/0/0 (10.10.3

The EXTERNAL COMMAND log entry contains all the text but when it gets 
displayed in the CGI, it's truncated as shown in the SERVICE ALERT log 
entry. I cannot track it down to a specific number of characters nor am 
I sending any odd control characters of any sort, but obviously 
something is happening here...

O.K., looking into it a little more, the <BR> tags are the culprit. 
Sending the output with no <BR> tags I can send large amounts of 
output, the question now is what the actual problem is with respect to 
the HTML tags. I am only using <BR> to wrap each line so it's readable. 
Should I be doing it another way? Is there a limitation on what HTML 
can be in the output? I am already using <A HREF="..."></A> tags that 
link to our ticketing system in the comments sections with no problems 
yet (this is done with external commands too).

Anyone have the same problem or have any advise on this?

Do you have libpng, libjpeg and zlib libraries? Because in
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=55
Says that they can be required.. I have libpng and zlib but no libjpeg.
I guess that's the reason..

Message-ID: <001201c3bfc9$17f41630$140c140a@corp.intentia.net>

Hello Group.

Hope I can get some advice here.

I have been trying to set up distributed monitoring but i dosent work :-(

I have on one machine set up one host and one service for that one, just a simple ping.
Put the submit_check_result script under ...libexec/eventhandlers and made a entry in checkcommands.cfg for it.
Also installed the ncsa send program on that machine.
obsess_over_services=1
ocsp_command=submit_check_result

On the master nagios i have set up the host and the ping service.
Have also started the other ncsa program here.

There must be something that im missing, cant figure it out. If i take my host down i dont receive any alarm ?

How can i check that the two servers are talking "nagios" with each other ?


Regards
Gert

Can you try the 1.4alpha release. 

Looks like you are using HP-UX - I think there are some difficulties with
this OS which we'd like to sort out.

Subject: Nagios Percent Stats wildly messed up?
Message-ID: <20031211101612.GA10228@ouba.org>

I see the same behaviour in different installation and under different
situation ...

There are some posts on the subject and no clear explication ... I
currently audited the code but it is very fastidious ...

It seems that when a service goes critical in hard state (two or
more consecutive critical check), then the host goes down then
up, if the next service check is critical, this one cause an
entry of type soft state into the nagios.log file and then when
the service goes ok, this is consider as a "soft recovery" and
marked as soft into the nagios.log file. So the service is in
hard state (because of soft recovery) but the last critical state
recorded is an critical state ... cqfd ...

You seem to have this behaviour periodically, I would be interested
by a copy of your nagios.log file and your config file if possible.
I would help me into my audit :)

I ask for people who experiment same behaviour in order to see if
it is really a bug or a misconfiguration ...

Cordially

Subject: Performances issues
Message-ID: <20031211102258.GB10228@ouba.org>

Hi everybody,

I actually have a problem with a running 1.0 installation. I
monitor 10 hosts with a total of 27 services.

Nagios report very bad response time (typically over 100 ms
for a check_smtp) and when I do the same command directly
in CLI, I got very good response time (typically 4 ms, this
is a local lan).

The machine is not load a lot (between 0.1 and 0.6 typically),
the configuration of max_concurrent_check, intercheck, etc ...
match the nagios -s recommendation (3).

I renice the nagios process to 15 to see if it is a problem of
priority, but no way ...

Has someone saw the same behaviour ? Has someone a solution ?
I can provide more detailed informations ...

Cordially

Hi, Martin
I would like to know, are you running nagios to monitor 900 hosts in one 
map? Is there possible to make several map (status.cgi) with one nagios 
process?

Thanks

I am prompted for a username and password, and the system shows me 
logged in as nagiosadmin, I am using nagios 1.1-1with nagios plugins 
1.4.0 alpha, apache 1.3.27.0-2 and a postgres database (7.3.2r1-5) on linux.

I have a simmilar problem.

When I try to access the CGIs I am asked for a
user/pass but anything I enter get refused and
the prompt come back until I hit cancel,
then I get authorization required page. (401)

/*
  This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the URL
"/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi". You either supplied the wrong credentials
(e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply
the credentials required.
*/

I know I supplied good credential.. and I don't think mozilla and IE
can't understand how to suopply credentials...


Im running:

Apache 2.0.40
Nagios 1.1
Nagios Plugins 1.3.1

Here is my apache config

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/"
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin>
         AllowOverride AuthConfig
         order allow,deny
         allow from all
         Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
         Options None
         AllowOverride AuthConfig
         Order allow,deny
         Allow from all
</Directory>

I added the .htaccess file to the sbin and share directory

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

I also added two users to the htpasswd.users file
nagiosadmin & pouellet

pouellet is part of all contact groups.

pouellet is also authorized_for all options in cgi.cfg
under authorisation

Did I forgot something?

PS: I tried using no authentification (its a secure web server)
then I can access the cgi but I can't do anything...
( launch command, re-schedule check...) and I know its normal...


Thanx to everyone on the list !

This isn't a nagios problem as the entire login process is handled by
apache. Nagios just looks at the http_user environment variable set by
apache to determine who you are. Obviously you're not even getting that
far. I would hope that there would be some explanatory information in
your apache error log. I suspect that it's a permissions problem with
apache not being able to read your htpasswd.users file.

hi
i find that in this doc that resolve my problem
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2002/09/26/nagios.html?page=3



This configuration creates a Web alias '/nagios/cgi-bin/' and directs it 
to the cgi scripts in your Nagios 'sbin' directory. Assuming your main 
Web site is set up at http://127.0.0.1, you will be able to access the 
Nagios Web interface at http://127.0.0.1/nagios/ . At this point, the 
Nagios Web interface should come up properly, but you will notice that 
you cannot access any of the pages. You will get an error message that 
looks like the following.

     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.

This is a security precaution that is designed to only allow authorized 
people to be able to access the monitoring interface. The authentication 
is handled by your Web server using Basic HTTP Authentication (i.e. 
.htaccess). Nagios then uses the credentials for the user who has logged 
in and matches it with the contacts.cfg contact_name entries to 
determine which sections of the Web interface the current user can access.

Configuring .htaccess based authentication is easy provided that your 
Web server is already configured to use it. Please refer to the 
documentation for your Web server if it's not configured. We will assume 
that our Apache server is configured to look at the .htaccess file and 
apply the directives found in it.

First, create a file called .htaccess in the /usr/local/nagios/sbin 
directory. If you would like to lock up your Nagios Web interface 
completely, you can also put a copy of the same file in the 
/usr/local/nagios/share directory.

Put the following in this .htaccess file.

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

When you're adding your first user, the password file that .htaccess 
refers to will not be present. You need to run the 'htpasswd' command 
with the -c option to create the file.

htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users oktay
New password: ******
Re-type new password: ******
Adding password for user oktay

For the rest of your users, use the 'htpasswd' command without the '-c' 
option so as not to overwrite the existing one. After you add all of 
your users, you can go back to the Web interface which will now pop up 
an authentication dialog. Upon successful authentication, you can start 
using the Web interface. I will not go into detail about using the Web 
interface since it's pretty self explanatory. Notice that your users 
will only be able to access information for servers that they are 
associated with in the Nagios configuration files. Also, some sections 
of the Web interface will be disabled for everyone by default. If you 
would like to enable those, take a look at 'etc/cgi.cfg'. For instance, 
in order to allow the user 'oktay' to access the 'Process Info' section, 
uncomment the 'authorized_for_system_information' line and add 'oktay' 
to the list of names delimited by commas.

Thanx a lot Marc, that was the problem.

I though that because apache created the file it
would be readable by apache, but not!

htpasswd create the file with owner of the currently
logged in user, so it created htpasswd.users owned
by root. I changed the owner to apache and bingo !

Thanx a lot everyone for your fast answers.

 I'm not entirely sure what your problem is, but I'd guess it has to do with
a log rotation issue: when nagios rotates logs it doesn't keep track of the
current service states in the new log. Search for "time undetermined" in the
list archives to get the details. An easy work around is to view the graphs
with "First Assumed State" being "Current State" instead of unspecified.

Subject: "UNKNOWN" problem, with a return code of 0 in solaris 9.
Message-ID: <9822074212EA8E44903E10A7CD2DCB1825F0D5@MSPMAIL4.intranetsolutions.com>

I looked through a lot of the mail list archives and didn't see this
problem listed by anyone else.  It's a bit long winded but I figure
being verbose is better than not being verbose enough.  So here goes.
            We are using nagios to monitor multiple UNIX systems,
including Solaris 2.6 8 & 9.  Our method for doing so is public keys
saved in the "authorized_keys" file of each nagios client's home
directory etc...  When our server runs the "check_by_ssh" against
solaris 9 clients, the nagios server claims it is getting a status of
"UNKNOWN".  I dug in to the documentation to find out that this is
figured out via return codes, IE 0,1,2,3 etc...  So I ran check_by_ssh
against the system in question to see for myself what the problem was.
I am only able to get return codes of 0 "OK".  I'll show the syntax I
used below.  I can get it to also give return codes of 1 and 2 if I
intentionally invoke a warning or critical condition, but when it is run
from the nagios process itself it shows up as "UNKNOWN", and
occasionally flaps to okay for brief periods of time, even though the
status output shows the disks are perfectly okay.
            Here is my output from my tests....
 
 
[...]
 
$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H 12.40.185.175  -C
'/opt/nagios/libexec/check_disk -c 10% -w 20%'
$ echo $?
0
$
 
[...]
 
I even had this running in a continual loop to see if maybe 1 out of 10
would go in to an UNKNOWN state, but it doesn't.  I will paste the
portions of my config that should matter for this output.  I really
appreciate any help you guys can give me.

(personal message bounced)

If you run the .cgi on the command line you'll get the error message. On
my Solaris system I had to create symbolic links from /usr/lib to
/usr/local/lib:

cd /usr/lib
ln -s ../local/lib/libpng.so.3 libpng.so.3
ln -s ../local/lib/libgd.so.2 libgd.so.2
====================================================================

When it works you'll get a bunch of text:

====================================================================
voyeur: ./trends.cgi
getcgivars(): Unsupported REQUEST_METHOD -> ''
 
I'm guessing you're trying to execute the CGI from a command line.
In order to do that, you need to set the REQUEST_METHOD environment
variable to either "GET", "HEAD", or "POST".  When using the
GET and HEAD methods, arguments can be passed to the CGI
by setting the "QUERY_STRING" environment variable.  If you're
using the POST method, data is read from standard input.  Also of
note: if you've enabled authentication in the CGIs, you must set the
"REMOTE_USER" environment variable to be the name of the user you're
"authenticated" as.
====================================================================

That means it's working.

I had the same problem.  I followed the intructions in the FAQ by installing
the correct libraries and then running:

make devclean
./configure --with-gd-lib=LIBDIR --with-gd-inc=INCDIR

After recompiling, I noticed that the statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and
histogram.cgi still were not in my cgi directory (/usr/local/nagios/sbin for
me).

I had to do a search for the files manually and then copy them into my cgi
directory.  The were placed in the cgi directory under my make directory.

It worked fine after that.

Do you have libpng, libjpeg and zlib libraries? Because in
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=55
Says that they can be required.. I have libpng and zlib but no libjpeg.
I guess that's the reason..

Subject: Return code of 137 (yes, I read the FAQ)
Message-ID: <EAEFKKDKOKLBGOBEFCNIAEMFCEAA.barbara.schelkle@undp.org>

Hi,

my HTTP service checks give "Return code of 137 is out of bounds".
I read in the FAQ at http://www.nagios.org/faqs/printfaq.php?faq_id=17
that I need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the nagios account.

So I added the following .profile to the homedirectory of the nagios
user (/exports/nagios):

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/ucblib:/usr/local/lib:/expo
rts/nagios:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I restarted nagios, but still get the same error. Any help?

The platform is Solaris 8. I followed Tedman Eng's advice and compiled
with /usr/ccs/bin/strip instead of /usr/local/bin/strip

Thanks in advance for any help,
	Barbara

Subject: [Nagios-users] "UNKNOWN" problem, with a return code of 0 in
solaris 9.

I looked through a lot of the mail list archives and didn't see this
problem listed by anyone else.  It's a bit long winded but I figure
being verbose is better than not being verbose enough.  So here goes.
	We are using nagios to monitor multiple UNIX systems, including
Solaris 2.6 8 & 9.  Our method for doing so is public keys saved in the
"authorized_keys" file of each nagios client's home directory etc...
When our server runs the "check_by_ssh" against solaris 9 clients, the
nagios server claims it is getting a status of "UNKNOWN".  I dug in to
the documentation to find out that this is figured out via return codes,
IE 0,1,2,3 etc...  So I ran check_by_ssh against the system in question
to see for myself what the problem was.  I am only able to get return
codes of 0 "OK".  I'll show the syntax I used below.  I can get it to
also give return codes of 1 and 2 if I intentionally invoke a warning or
critical condition, but when it is run from the nagios process itself it
shows up as "UNKNOWN", and occasionally flaps to okay for brief periods
of time, even though the status output shows the disks are perfectly
okay.
	Here is my output from my tests....


[...]

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H 12.40.185.175  -C
'/opt/nagios/libexec/check_disk -c 10% -w 20%'
$ echo $?
0
$

<MARC>
It appears that the plugin isn't being executed on the remote host.
Check_by_ssh should return the output of the check_disk command to the
command line:

bash-2.05a$ ./check_by_ssh -H <host removed> -C
'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -c 10% -w 20%'
DISK OK - [3434680 kB (47%) free on /dev/ida/c0d0p3] [107450 kB (89%)
free on /dev/ida/c0d0p1] [257216 kB (100%) free on none]

Is the plugin (check_disk) executable by the user that you are ssh'ing
as and in the location specified? How about /bin/df (at least that's
what it uses under linux)? It needs to be executable by the nagios user
as well.

Subject: SNMP agents versus Nagios agents
Message-ID: <sfd864f1.084@wh-inet.gmhwh.org>

Hello all,

I am in the process of drafting a comparison memo for my work and would like to ask if any out there either has done a similar evaluation, or can refer me to some specific comparative  information about this.   The comparison is between Nagios Agents and the SNMP agents of the Standard MIB - specifically RFC 2790.  To me, comparisons would focus on usefullness of data, difficulties of configuration, change management and security.

Within the Standard MIB, is RFC 2790 also known as the Host Resource MIB.  Data for CPU utilization, disk space usage and RAM usage are defined within this MIB.  Of course this data is also available thru several of Nagios agents (NSclient, NRPE and MRTGEXT.NLM).    (Actually, it seems to be much better defined in the Nagios agents)

I am fairly solid on using  NSclient and MRTGEXT, but have not really used NRPE on remote servers.  I very much favor using the Nagios agents, because they are specifically designed for each platform and were built for reporting to Nagios.    

Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks

Larry C

The nagios agent will enable you to run any plugin and/or build your 
own, while using the MIB limits you to what is available from that MIB. 
For instance some of our mail servers run exim and I can check the queue 
on the remote server via nrpe using a plugin. This is not something 
that's available in the host MIB.

I totally agree with Jim on Nagios agents on servers, however you
still need to the depend on snmp agents for monitoring network devices,
as snmp seems to be the de facto protocol for management on most networking
equipment (switches, routers, bridges, etc). Fortunately, the Nagios server
can handle snmp traps/queries as well.
But ya, you'll depend on snmp agents to monitor other devices that are not
servers, and come with management support over IP.

One thing we've found to be more useful than SNMP polling in some cases 
is processing the syslog messages from the network devices and putting 
them into Nagios as passive checks, as this can provide info not found 
in the MIBs. We also perform some checks by telneting to the network 
devices, issuing commands and processing the output. Again this can 
provide information/checks that are not in the MIB.

I didn't see any errors on the attached.

Have you checked apache's error log?
Have you configured everything; hosts groups, service, commands, etc?
Have you verified the configuration with nagios -v?
If you execute a plugin manually e.g. check_ping does it work?

I?m using the version 1.0, and now i?m downloading the version 1.1, with the

It's funny, no matter what the circumstance the remote plugin always
claims it is okay.  The return code (either from the remote plugin, or
the local check_by_ssh plugin is returning a 3, but ONLY if nagios
itself runs it.

Subject: [Nagios-users] "UNKNOWN" problem, with a return code of 0 in
solaris 9.

I looked through a lot of the mail list archives and didn't see this
problem listed by anyone else.  It's a bit long winded but I figure
being verbose is better than not being verbose enough.  So here goes.
	We are using nagios to monitor multiple UNIX systems, including
Solaris 2.6 8 & 9.  Our method for doing so is public keys saved in the
"authorized_keys" file of each nagios client's home directory etc...
When our server runs the "check_by_ssh" against solaris 9 clients, the
nagios server claims it is getting a status of "UNKNOWN".  I dug in to
the documentation to find out that this is figured out via return codes,
IE 0,1,2,3 etc...  So I ran check_by_ssh against the system in question
to see for myself what the problem was.  I am only able to get return
codes of 0 "OK".  I'll show the syntax I used below.  I can get it to
also give return codes of 1 and 2 if I intentionally invoke a warning or
critical condition, but when it is run from the nagios process itself it
shows up as "UNKNOWN", and occasionally flaps to okay for brief periods
of time, even though the status output shows the disks are perfectly
okay.
	Here is my output from my tests....


[...]

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H 12.40.185.175  -C
'/opt/nagios/libexec/check_disk -c 10% -w 20%'
$ echo $?
0
$

<MARC>
It appears that the plugin isn't being executed on the remote host.
Check_by_ssh should return the output of the check_disk command to the
command line:

bash-2.05a$ ./check_by_ssh -H <host removed> -C
'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -c 10% -w 20%'
DISK OK - [3434680 kB (47%) free on /dev/ida/c0d0p3] [107450 kB (89%)
free on /dev/ida/c0d0p1] [257216 kB (100%) free on none]

Is the plugin (check_disk) executable by the user that you are ssh'ing
as and in the location specified? How about /bin/df (at least that's
what it uses under linux)? It needs to be executable by the nagios user
as well.

You say you've run this from the command line, but have you run it as the
Nagios user?  check_by_ssh requires that you have a passwordless ssh key to
allow login to the remote host... configuration of that key is user-dependant.

It's possible you're getting an UNKNOWN result from check_by_ssh because it is
unable to login to the remote host.

That is all configured properly, and it is logging in just fine.  I am
running it as the nagios user, the key is setup as the nagios user.  I
even get proper output from the other side telling me my disks are OK,
but the return code is 3 and not 0.

You say you've run this from the command line, but have you run it as
the
Nagios user?  check_by_ssh requires that you have a passwordless ssh key
to
allow login to the remote host... configuration of that key is
user-dependant.

It's possible you're getting an UNKNOWN result from check_by_ssh because
it is
unable to login to the remote host.

Subject: NSClient Control Panel available
Message-ID: <1071184679.3fd8fb27de296@webmail.rongage.org>

Ok, let's get this out of the way right now.

I am NOT a VB programmer, but do play one on TV.

I have wrote a VB app to allow you to control the Nagios NSClient software
under
Windows 2000 and 2003.  Source code is available.

For the vb6 project files and source code, download the following:
ftp://ftp.rongage.org/pub/nagios/nagioscontrolpanel.zip

For the compiled version, download the following:
ftp://ftp.rongage.org/pub/nagios/nagios.zip

The code is licensed under the LGPL.

As usual, comments are welcomed!

Subject: "UNKNOWN" problem, with a return code of 0 in solaris 9.
Message-ID: <370ACCFA5BB3B346A31222E5559BF91F03A05B@mismail2.ena.com>

Unfortunately I'm not going to be much more help as I'm not too familiar
with the internal functioning of the plugin but the output you're seeing
looks odd to me, particularly the ";| /=10943MB;9606;10807;0;12008
/usr=6814MB;6452;7258;0;8065 /var=7875MB;6452;7258;0;8065

/u01=426986MB;390857;439714;0;488572". I don't believe that's supposed
to be in there and it may be a result of df providing output in a format
that the plugin doesn't fully understand. It may also just be an
artifact of running check_disk under solaris and perfectly normal.

Subject: "UNKNOWN" problem, with a return code of 0 in solaris 9.
Message-ID: <9822074212EA8E44903E10A7CD2DCB1825F0DA@MSPMAIL4.intranetsolutions.com>

You're correct in saying that it is strange output.  It is explainable
though.  It outputs that because we're running a volume manager.  I
haven't looked to verify it, but I believe the other numbers are output
from the other plexes that make up the total volume that is each
partition.
	It does still remain though, that when I give it data that is
supposed to fail (on command line) it does fail, and when in a condition
that it shouldn't, it doesn't.  It is ONLY in the nagios process itself
do these plugins return UNKNOWN, even the output shown on our website
says the disks are ok.  It just says the state is UNKNOWN.

Pasted from our nagios website....

also note that this particular Solaris 9 host is not running veritas

Anything after a pipe character in the output is performance monitoring data.

NRPE should work just fine with other shells; many of the scripts I've
written are in ksh. I've found that NRPE tends to report a CRC32 error
whenever the plugins reports a non-standard return code. This indicates
that something in your shell script ended the script unexpectedly.

Subject: Notification Intervals
Message-ID: <ANELLPCMAGBJBHENLJNEKEBGCAAA.chris@sightspeed.com>

I have a question on the notification interval for services.

If I set the interval to 1, then have escalations for 4 and more
notifications, will it only do 1 min intervals til it hits the 3rd
notification, then the escalations override the interval to what their
settings are?(IE 5 min, then 10min). Or will the contact for the services
continue to get notifications at 1 min?

Thanks,

Message-ID: <ANELLPCMAGBJBHENLJNEEEBHCAAA.chris@sightspeed.com>

Hello all,

I noticed that the dates for the last notification sent are really off. Like
old Unix dates.

last_notification
1969-12-31 16:00:00

I know RRD uses those dates because it's a cyclical database, but MySQL
isn't. So wasn't sure it's a bug or mistake, or something done on purpose
for RRD.

Subject: Escalation of Services check times
Message-ID: <ANELLPCMAGBJBHENLJNEMEBHCAAA.chris@sightspeed.com>

I'm pretty sure this can't happen.

But can nagios change the check times based on escalations?

Problem is this, after nagios figures out a service is down, it will do two
one minute checks, then it goes back to five minute checks. That takes too
long. By the time my admins get alerted, over 25 minutes has passed.

I want nagios to do 1 minute checks til it hits 4 notifications, then alert
a certain group of admins and do five minute checks. Then again alert a
certain group of admins and then do 10 minute checks.

I don't want to do checks at 1 minute unless a service is not responding,
but I can only get that behavior for the first 3 attempts. After that it
fails to its normal check value for the service.

If this isn't do-able it might be cool to have the check interval for none
normal service operation, and a check interval for normal operations.

Thanks,

Subject: Timeout larger than 10 seconds
Message-ID: <27379890.1071162465@cadabra-dsl.stanford.edu>

How can I get nagios to not timeout after 10 seconds?  It seems that no 
matter what I do inside my plugin, nagios still claims a timeout when that 
plugin takes longer than 10 seconds to execute.  I have a particular plugin 
that can take up to a minute to finish.  Is there any way to change the 
default behavior for just this particular plugin?

Thanks,
Quanah

Hi, everyone

A few minutes later, my Nagios server is down because electrical problem. 
When power and server is up, nagios services cannot started. The message is :

[root at nagios root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios start
Starting network monitor: nagios
NAGIOS CRITICAL - could not find status log: /var/log/nagios/status.log
[root at nagios root]#

why status.log is missing? I read in the FAQ and the answer (about 
status.log) is disk capacity. But my server have 40GB and used space only 6%.

I used Redhat 9.0 (Shrike) and Nagios 1.1.5 (rpm) from dag wieers ...

Please help me, Regards

Hi we had the same weird problem, after a power failure as well. When I
traced backed, we added cgi functionality. If you look carefully, I
believe the log file is saved as .sav . Even if your rename the file, it
will then complain about a missing process in PROC directory. Anyhow, I
got it to work by disabling cgi external check functionality in
nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg . While this is an interim solution, Id  like to
follow up on the same request as you, and figure out why this happens
when External CGI functionality is enabled. 

Can someone look into why this happens???

Hi,
 
I have exactly the same problem with a host running SCO SV 5.0.4.
(Nagios server version 1.1)
 
My checkcommand is:
 
$USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "/u/nagios/check_log.sh $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$" -t 20 -l nagios
 
There is no ssh connection problem, and the check_log.sh plugin works fine (the plugin look for the pattern "WARNING" in /var/adm/messages).

The check_log.sh is my shell version of the check_log plugin, there is no "exit" with return code of 3 in it.
 
I have try to run this command from the command line on the nagios server, connected as user nagios, i never been able to return an unknown status.
 
The execution always return the right answer "OK - Log check Ok - No pattern match found" (or Critical if the pattern is found) but nearly everytime with an unknown status (9/10).
 
On the same host, another service have the same problem, but the UNKNOWN status comes only one or two times a day ...
 
Is it possible that this return code comes from the check_by_ssh plugin ? (there's no additionnal information even with the verbose output, i have try to look in the source code but i'm far from a "C guru" ...).
 
 
Thanks.
Jpt.

It's funny, no matter what the circumstance the remote plugin always
claims it is okay. The return code (either from the remote plugin, or
the local check_by_ssh plugin is returning a 3, but ONLY if nagios
itself runs it.

Subject: [Nagios-users] "UNKNOWN" problem, with a return code of 0 in
solaris 9.

I looked through a lot of the mail list archives and didn't see this
problem listed by anyone else. It's a bit long winded but I figure
being verbose is better than not being verbose enough. So here goes.
We are using nagios to monitor multiple UNIX systems, including
Solaris 2.6 8 & 9. Our method for doing so is public keys saved in the
"authorized_keys" file of each nagios client's home directory etc...
When our server runs the "check_by_ssh" against solaris 9 clients, the
nagios server claims it is getting a status of "UNKNOWN". I dug in to
the documentation to find out that this is figured out via return codes,
IE 0,1,2,3 etc... So I ran check_by_ssh against the system in question
to see for myself what the problem was. I am only able to get return
codes of 0 "OK". I'll show the syntax I used below. I can get it to
also give return codes of 1 and 2 if I intentionally invoke a warning or
critical condition, but when it is run from the nagios process itself it
shows up as "UNKNOWN", and occasionally flaps to okay for brief periods
of time, even though the status output shows the disks are perfectly
okay.
Here is my output from my tests....


[...]

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H 12.40.185.175 -C
'/opt/nagios/libexec/check_disk -c 10% -w 20%'
$ echo $?
0
$


It appears that the plugin isn't being executed on the remote host.
Check_by_ssh should return the output of the check_disk command to the
command line:

bash-2.05a$ ./check_by_ssh -H -C
'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -c 10% -w 20%'
DISK OK - [3434680 kB (47%) free on /dev/ida/c0d0p3] [107450 kB (89%)
free on /dev/ida/c0d0p1] [257216 kB (100%) free on none]

Is the plugin (check_disk) executable by the user that you are ssh'ing
as and in the location specified? How about /bin/df (at least that's
what it uses under linux)? It needs to be executable by the nagios user
as well.

Okay, so who wants to do the patch?

In my mind, this should probably be done by simply pre-loading the disabled
service checks.  No new data structure is required.

Folks

Sorry if this sounds real stupid.

One of the admin guy's was trying to add downtime via the web pages.
All was going fine , until he tried to enter downtime for a host that did not exist in the nagios config files.

The error message was
"Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command. 
Read the section of the documentation that deals with authentication and authorization in the CGIs for more information.

Return from whence you came 
"

While technically correct , in that he was not authorized to do the command , because the host was not in the config.
Is there any way to make nagios , give a better error message , like check if the host is in the config files and if not generate a suitable error.

Just a idea.

Matt

Subject: SNMP agents versus Nagios agents
Message-ID: <sfd96275.097@wh-inet.gmhwh.org>

Thanks to JIim Mozley and MT Morales for advice about using Nagios agents versus SNMP.  Which is basically that SNMP has restrictions of what can be monitored versus using Nagios agents - at least on servers.  (For routers etc, SNMP seems a good or only choice).  
 
From my research and experience, it also seems  SNMP agents, the SNMP agents also have at least these two additional issues:
 
1) SNMP v1 and v2 have several known security issues (clear text community strings, buffer overflow, patches etc)
 
2) Object IDs can reindex when a server reboots, resulting in having to reconfigure Nagios (which also happens when new devices are added)
 
Any feedback on these last two?
 
Thanks
 
Larry C

How can I get nagios to not timeout after 10 seconds?  It seems that no 
matter what I do inside my plugin, nagios still claims a timeout when that 
plugin takes longer than 10 seconds to execute.  I have a particular plugin 
that can take up to a minute to finish.  Is there any way to change the 
default behavior for just this particular plugin?

Thanks,

I'd argue that the history of SNMP vulnerabilities is no worse than 
Sendmail, Bind, or even Apache. The risks of clear text community 
strings can be managed with ACLs or firewalls, and SNMP v3 has USM with 
stronger authentication and encryption methods.

The real problem with SNMP has historically been under-configuration and 
under-administration. Devices have shipped with obvious default read and 
write community strings or with other security vulnerabilities, and 
administrators haven't bothered to patch and/or configure their SNMP 
securely.

This will normally only happen within the context of a SNMP table, and 
the tables are designed to make it easy to find a piece of information 
even when a row has been added, removed or re-ordered because the system 
has been reconfigured. For example, hrStorageTable is no harder or 
easier to parse than the output of "df", and you run the same level of 
risk from re-ordering if you added or removed volumes, or changed your 
mount order. ifTable is much easier to parse than the output of ifconfig.

This shouldn't happen with 2.0. Ethan creates a cached copy of the config files that both nagios and the cgis use.

Folks 

Sorry if this sounds real stupid. 

One of the admin guy's was trying to add downtime via the web pages. 
All was going fine , until he tried to enter downtime for a host that did not exist in the nagios config files. 

The error message was 
"Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command. 
Read the section of the documentation that deals with authentication and authorization in the CGIs for more information.

Return from whence you came 
" 

While technically correct , in that he was not authorized to do the command , because the host was not in the config. 
Is there any way to make nagios , give a better error message , like check if the host is in the config files and if not generate a suitable error.

Just a idea.

Thanks to Thornton Prime for insights into SNMP security and reindexing issues.  One further clarification about reindexing though if you don't mind.
 
It seems that you do agree that the SNMP table for a device can reindex with a reboot or change to certain system configuration (hard drives etc).  This would force me to reconfigure the Services.cfg file of Nagios to conform to that right?  This seems like a big task for a changing environment with lots of servers (400+) like mine.  My real question is wouldn't most of this be avoided if I use the Nagios agents such as Nsclient, MRTGEXT.NLM and those for UNIX which use logical names for these same system objects (disks, RAM, CPU)?

Nice in theory, but that will still be subverted by Nagio's nagios.cfg 
timeout.

I just finished setting up everything...

I have configured two hosts to check and one service
for each of them.

1st: DNS Server which I ping
2nd: Cisco router which I ping

Now Nagios report that my Router
is Down and that my DNS in unreachable.
( which is false since i can ping them manualy from my Nagios host )

Here is the logfile ...

'Ping DNS' on host 'dns' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're

Can someone help me understand this error message??

Here is the config for the DNS and all related files...
define host{
         use                     tmpl_hosts

Subject: NSCA 2.4 / NSCA 2.1 incompatability
Message-ID: <3FD9E7DA.9040803@datawire.net>


Hey all, I am currently starting the process of upgrading my network to 
a new Linux build, and in doing so have been rebuilding all of the 
nagios related RPM's that I have build over the years for my Nagios 
install. Naturally I have been checking for the newer versions of the 
pre-exiting software that we are using, and ran across NSCA v2.4 and 
decided to give it a whirl.

Since there were really only "minor bug fixes" which the changelog never 
elaborated on, and no glaring security hole, and with NSCA working I 
never needed to change from 2.1

I build my nsca 2.4 RPM and threw it on my new server, and added that 
server to Nagios, passive checks were not working, the Log said it was a 
version issue, or encryption issue, downgrading to 2.1 worked fine.

My Questions:

1) Why, what changed in NSCA 2.4 that doesn't allow it to talk to a 2.1 
server

2) if I install a 2.4 server on my Nagios box. will all the boxes using 
2.1 client be cut off from talking to the server?

I have two plugins for monitoring disk and processes using the
host-resources MIB in the nagiosplug contrib directory.  Newer versions
are available at my website, http://www.tobert.org/nagios.  You might
like to take a look at them during your evaluation, since they could
probably be modified to support other "table" MIBs without too much
difficulty.

I don't use them here at work for much anymore, since I've switched
everything to NRPE.  It's just too much work to add MIBs to multiple
vendors' agents (net-snmp, HP-UX (SNMP Research)).  So, I've been down
this road.  I started with using SNMP, since that didn't mean installing
anything on my boxes, but whenever I tried to do anything not supported
by the available MIBs, I hit a wall.  Now I use NRPE and it's pretty
trivial to add new plugins.

I still keep them (the plugins) up to date as we're looking at
monitoring more Windows and Novell hosts, both of which support the
host-resources mib.  That's the nice thing about this MIB - it works
cross-platform.  I have tested and shown my plugins to work with Novell
and Windows >=2000 (not NT4).

It could ... but it depends entirely on how your Nagios command is
implemented.

For example, I wrote my own Nagios command to check disks by their volume
names. It grabs the whole SNMP storage table table and looks up the
volumes I want by name, ignores the volumes I don't want, and makes note
of any missing or new volumes. As a bonus, when a target system is
reconfigured (e.g. a new volume is added), I get notified and I can either
set up a specific check for it, or in most cases it will get monitored by
a default rule in my command. I use the same exact Nagios command to
monitor volumes on my Solaris, Linux, Windows, and NetApp machines (adding
my SGIs and Tru64s will be easy). I am working on integrating it with SNMP
traps so that I get notified when a RAID disk fails, when a
snapshot/snapmirror fails, or if a backup fails and it will tell me which
volume it is in.

I wouldn't want to suggest that Nagios agents are not the way to go.
People should always use the best tool for the job.

Where I work we have several layers of administrators with different
monitoring systems: BB, MRTG, Nagios, Spectrum, NetIQ, Tivoli, and a bunch
of vendor-specific tools (like DFM and CIM). Using SNMP, I don't need to
require other administrators install my agents, and I don't need to
install agents for other administrators. SNMP is definitely the right tool
for us.

Hello again,

Thanks everyone that responded. I had the programs, but I didn't have
their development libraries! E.g. I already had libgd, but not gd-devel
(a little confusing ;-).

Anyhow after installing, make clean && ./configure && make all && make
install worked fine.

Thanks for your help ;-)

i never use sendmail

perhaps someone can tell me how to proceed with nagios to tell him 
to send mail with this ?

Message-ID: <B3589388E2ACD411800400508B952458085CA71C@wehntex002.qwest.net>

Hi,

I'm having problems with an event handler for schedule service checks,
when  I run the command I see the service check being submitted, but it
doesn't appear on the webpage for nagios and the time is not being
modified for the next service, wondering if anyone had an idea of the
syntax shown below is correct for the current version of nagios:


#!/bin/sh
# This script will write a command to the Nagios command
# file to cause Nagios to process a passive service check
# result.  Note: This script is intended to be run on the
# same host that is running Nagios.  If you want to 
# submit passive check results from a remote machine, look
# at using the nsca addon.
#
# Arguments:
#  $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is
#       associated with)
#  $2 = svc_description (Description of the service)
#  $3 = next_notification_time (Time of next notification)
# 

echocmd="/bin/echo"
CommandFile="/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd"
datetime=`date +%s`
cmdline="[$datetime] SCHEDULE_SVC_CHECK;$1;$2;$3"
`$echocmd $cmdline >> $CommandFile`
############################################################3
I grabbed this script from event handler directory in the base source
installation of nagios.

this is how i run it , 
 ./schedule_service_check test-host Ping 1070288900

this is what i see in nagios.log 


[1071253051] EXTERNAL COMMAND:
SCHEDULE_SVC_CHECK;test-host;Ping;1070288900


The problem is that the website is not updating the new scheduled
service check time. 

Thanks,

David C

Message-ID: <3FDA127A.48C5284F@med2.uni-kiel.de>


Hi everybody!

I am new to Nagios but I read the documentation and used Google
for 2 days to no avail -- I still have a problem with my system.

I'm using Debian Linux v3 (woody) and installed Nagios 1.1 with
text database (nagios-text). I also installed the stable Nagios
plugins 1.3.1 from SourceForge. I configured Nagios to check
three hosts (actually I did only 2, my default gateway was already
configured automagically by the install script). The pre-flight
check with -v gave me no warnings/errors and I can see in the
status log /var/log/nagios/status.log that all three hosts are 
pinged by the check_ping plugin and all three are up and running:

# Nagios 1.1 Status File
[1071255087] PROGRAM;1071249492;32723;0;1071255086;0;1;1;1;1;0;0;1;0

When I open the web interface from my workstation and log in as 
"nagiosadmin" I can open the tactical overview and am told that
I am logged in (as nagiosadmin). But the list of hosts is empty:

0 Down 	0 Unreachable 	0 Up 	0 Pending

Monitoring performance shows no active and passive checks (although
you can see in the status file that checks are done):

Check Execution Time:	-1 / -1 / 0.000 sec
Check Latency:	-1 / -1 / 0.000 sec
# Active Checks:	0
# Passive Checks:	0

The "Monitoring Features" seem to be okay:

   Flap Detection: N/A
   Notifications : All Services Enabled, All Hosts Enabled
   Event Handlers: All Services Enabled, All Hosts Enabled
   Active Checks : All Services Enabled, All Hosts Enabled
   Passive Checks: All Services Enabled

WHAT'S WRONG????

Also: when I go to any other "Monitoring" page (e.g. host detail)
I get an error message "It appears as though you do not have 
permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested..."

Many hits on google for this but no solutions! Everybody says
"cgi rights" but that should be okay:

/etc/nagios/apache.conf is included in httpd.conf and says:

[...]
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/nagios /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/
<DirectoryMatch /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/>
        Options ExecCGI

        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow From All

        AuthName "Nagios Access"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
        require valid-user
</DirectoryMatch>
[...]

Of course the htpasswd.users contains nagiosadmin...

I can't see any mstake in my installation, does anybody have a
clue what might be going on???

PLEASE HELP!!

Hi all,

In reading the faq, I found that you can indeed have multiple addresses
for a host, so long as your selected plug-ins support the format (addr,
addr, addr, etc). I can see where this would come in handy, but I have a
couple questions about it.

 

1)       If one of those addresses fails, will a notification be sent
(assuming I have my notifications configured properly)?

2)       How does this affect dependencies? I'm betting I would need to
break up each interface into a separate host definition so that I can
define dependencies such that if Eth0 on my wan router goes down, the
notifications for the now unreachable Serial0 and Serial1 are
suppressed...

 

Any and all input is greatly appreciated, I'm mostly looking for a best
practice here.

Message-ID: <DCB9B7AA2CAB7F418919D7B59EE45BAF329F9A@mail-sc-6.nvidia.com>

I'm setting up Nagios 1.1 for the first time, and I'm a little confused
about something.  I've got my hosts.cfg file done (~180 hosts) as well as my
hostgroups.cfg.  I'm starting to set up services.cfg now.  So...let's say I
want to monitor a process...let's say ypserv...on 20 machines.  Do I really
have to set up a separate service definition for each host?  20 different
definitions for my ypserv check?  Why can't I just say..."here's how to
check for ypserv, now go look for it on these 20 boxes..."  Seems like I
should just be able to give it a hostgroup, but the docs say that you must
define a specific host.

Once this Nagios is up and running, I'm going to set up another Nagios
server for our ~2600 node Linux farm...and I'd like to monitor several
services for each of those.  That's going to get real ugly real quick.  Am I
just missing something obvious?  Thanks.

I could swear that this was in the FAQ (http://www.nagios.org/faqs), but
I can't seem to find it right now. I'm sure someone will clue us in...

Yes, you can do exactly what you are asking for, apply a service check
to an entire hostgroup. In the service definition you'll need to change
the 'host_name' to 'hostgroup_name', then just follow it with a
hostgroup instead of a host. Also, should you ever want to apply a
service check to all hosts, you can simply use

host_name	* 

in the definition.

Oh thank God!  I was about 10 minutes away from throwing Nagios out and
placing an order for whatever lame commercial package was out there.  Whew!

Don't know how I missed that page in docs.  Thanks to all who replied!

From mtucker at airmail.net  Fri Dec 12 23:56:13 2003
From: mtucker at airmail.net (Michael Tucker)
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2003 16:56:13 -0600
Subject: Compiling nagios -> nsca -> libmcrypt on Solaris 9
Message-ID: <626A24AA-2CF6-11D8-9328-0030657DF28A@airmail.net>

Howdy:

I'm attempting to set up nagios for a network of Solaris servers 
(central server plus distributed servers), communicating with each 
other via send_nsca and nsca.

This has necessitated compiling nsca, since I don't know of any 
pre-packaged binaries for Solaris.

Finally, nsca wants libmcrypt, which itself must be compiled (to my 
knowledge) for the same reason.

This last step has me stumped. I'm unable to compile libmcrypt. I'm 
using:
* gcc-3.3.2-sol9-sparc-local
* nagios-1.1
* nsca-2.4
* libmcrypt-2.5.7
* mcrypt-2.6.4

In other words, the latest gcc package available from sunfreeware.org, 
and the latest versions of nagios, nsca, libmcrypt and mcrypt, 
available from their respective host sites.

When I attempt to ./configure, then make libmcrypt, it fails. Evidently 
there are a whole raft of undefined symbols (beginning with 
nofb_LTX__mcrypt_get_state) that are not found in libmcrypt.so, so the 
make fails for targets 'all', 'all-recursive', and 'ciphertest' (in 
reverse order).

Has someone else experienced this? Is there some environment setting 
that needs to be tweaked?

Better yet, are there pre-compiled binaries for these packages 
available for Solaris 9 (SPARC)?

Thanks,
Michael Tucker

You want to use the hostgroup_name directive in the service definition 
instead of the host_name. This is documented at 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/templatetricks.html#service

Actually I had come to the same conclusion. Having page after page
after page of services to navigate through (not to mention set up)
when the majority of them are OK is a pain. My planned implementation
was to take passive services of the form service::subservice and
display them only if they were in a non-ok state.

The base service would have to be defined (e.g. snmp) in order for the
dynamic subservices to be displayed. The base service would act as a
template for the dynamic services as far as notification, max_retries
etc. If needed, you could define the service with the :: if you needed
different settings. 

This service::subservice also opens the possibility of "rolling up"
the subservice states into an overall service state.

One difference is that I had considered it for both the passive and
active polling case as I could have temperature, temperature::disk1,
temperature::disk2, temperature::motherboard items that wouldn't
overwrite each other. The only difference from the normal services is
that :: services wouldn't be displayed unless they were non-ok or
pending.

Hello,

I'm having an odd problem with trends --

It never shows any data for my hosts as being in any state (everything is 
at 0%, it draws a nice empty graph).  The cgi.cfg file and the nagios.cfg 
file both point to the correct area for the logs, and that certain seems to 
be working, since rotations are happening correctly, etc...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Quanah

For hosts that are up and problem free, nagios never actually has to execute
a host check, thus no log entries get created.  Try running the host trend
again and set "First assumed state" to either "Current State or "Host Up".
Use the same solution if you try Host Availability reports and they show as
100% undertermined.

Hi John,

Thanks for you reply. I haven't yet started looking into the internals of
nagios yet (particulary as I gather 2.0 is very different). Do you have any
idea how difficult something like this would be to write? eg. Is it going to
slide in nicely, or is it going to require some major restructuring? If it's
the former I'm happy to have a go at writing it, and even it doesn't get
accepted into the core I can maintain a patch. If it's more the later then
obviously I'd need some feedback from the core developers.

I also remember reading a while back something about version 2 supporting
the dynamic insertion of new services? I'll have to dig through the
archives. That and some kind of container-subservice relationship between
services (a seperate relationship to service dependancies), would seem to be
a reasonable starting point.

Sam

I am looking at 2.0 now for the purpose of refining the sec/nagios
integration interface. To start passive service checks of the form
service::foo will need to make it into the status file. Currently (If
I understand the code/operation properly) the service::foo passive
check result will be ignored (well reported as service not found) if
it doesn't exists as a defined service.  I would suggest working only
on nagios 2 since I understand 1.x is in feature freeze for the most
part.

Somewhere around line 1753 in base/commands.c
process_passive_service_check() in nagios 2 is:

     /* make sure the service exists */
     if((temp_service=find_service(real_host_name,svc_description))==NULL)
              return ERROR;

So the first thing would be to change this to lookup the
service::subservice to see if it was explicitly defined. If it's not
found then break the svc_description on :: (if it exists) and lookup
the resulting prefix. My guess is that this logic (check svc:sub and
then svc) would ripple through the code.

I still am having problems trying to get the call tree graph laid out
in my head and finding the places where all the work is done, so my
conjecture above is most likely wrong. Does anybody have development
or architecture docs for nag2?

>I also remember reading a while back something about version 2 supporting

I remember talk about changing polling intervals etc, but not dynamic
services. Then again I may be having a senior moment.

>That and some kind of container-subservice relationship between

Actually, for dynamic subservices, if the primary service is down, has
passive results turned off etc, then the dynamic subservices have it
turned off as well.

I am not sure how the cgi's will have to be changed to handle dynamic
services, but my WAG is that they will have to change quite a bit
since I belive they look up the services on an as needed basis,
i.e. they work from a list of services gleaned from the config files.

Would this actually ripple through for stuff like notifications and
acknowledgements though? I'd really like to be able to separately
acknowledge subservices. If you have a switch with over a hundred ethernet
ports on it, and just one port generates a trap, I'd like to be able
acknowledge that seperately and still receive notifications about the
others. This is probably going to require more research from me to see if
SNMP traps can be sensibily divided up in this manner, but it doesn't really
look like anything snmptt couldn't handle.

If I remember correctly Ethan said that version 2 could support new services
being added at runtime, but not the removal of current ones.

Well I was thinking about the container-subservice relationship so that the
cgis could work out how to display the information, although that could
obviously also be gleaned from the :: formating of the service name.

It's my understanding that the web frontend has changed dramically in
version 2. Do you know if they still read the configuration files, or
whether they query the nagios process?

I should have some time around Thursday to start diving into the code
myself - currently pulled away on some BGP tuning.

It doesn't show any trends for *services* either.

Subject: Availability report of several services
Message-ID: <6.0.1.1.0.20031213204852.01f24ba8@localhost>

I desperately need to elaborate an availability report of a number of key 
services, out of the several hundred monitored by Nagios.

With avail.cgi I can get a service availability report (html file) for a 
single service, but what I need is just a report (actually a table) for 
several services.

Before I try to program a script to extract the relevant data out of a 
number of html files to build the report, I would like to ask if anyone 
knows of a reporting tool utility for this purpose. Any advised will be 
appreciated.

Perhaps check permissions on the log directory and/or the log file.  The
trends cgi runs under the apache daemon's user, but the log rotation happens
under the nagios daemon's user.  The logs, log archives, and the parent
directories containing them should be readable by apache's user.

Yes, I believe so. I think it was a similar dispalt loop, but I

Ok. Wonder how that was going to work with the CGI's. Maybe refreeze

I think they read config files that are frozen at nagios

The web user has full perms to the log files (I can read them as the web 
user).  Still no luck.

Subject: more serviceextinfo for one service?
Message-ID: <3FDC49D7.8000009@noris.de>

Hi,

is it possible to use more than one serviceextinfo for one service?
I tried to add a link to the rrd-graphs from apan and a link to our 
twiki (helpdocumentaion for our admins) but it seems that only the first 
in the serviceextinfo gets used.
Has anybody a solution for this problem?
Here my config:
<begin>

define serviceextinfo{
        host_name           www.webbanking.norisbank.de
        service_description Webbanking-Umsatzauskunft
        notes_url 
https://hyper.noris.net/twiki/bin/view/NNKB/MonitorSiniusWebbankingUmsatzanzeige
        icon_image          twiki.gif
        icon_image_alt      twikihelp
}

define serviceextinfo{
        host_name           www.webbanking.norisbank.de
        service_description Webbanking-Umsatzauskunft
        notes_url

}

I finally got our system to send emails, and I notice nagios takes the primary 
host name. How can I change that? example:

our news server is news.sbbsnet.net with a .80 as primary ip.

nagios runs on this server. I have monitor.sbbsnet.net set up as .81 on this 
server. 

I want nagios to have a From: of nagios at monitor.sbbsnet.net and not as it is 
now, nagios at news.sbbsnet.net.

You have to supply warning and critical parameters to your call to 
check-local_disk, something like:

check_command check_local_disk!15%!10%!/dev/hdb1

to warn if there is only 15% free, and mark critical if there is only 10% 
free.

Hi,

I'm having problems starting Nagios after shutting it down for a weekend
while our monitoring link was shut down.  When I try to start it up, I get 
the following error:

NAGIOS CRITICAL - could not find status log: /var/log/nagios/status.log

If I run a nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg, there are no warnings or 
errors in my config.  It's been running fine with no problems on RH73 for 
a few months now.  I made some small config tweaks while it was shut down 
but nothing major.

Oh, one other strange problem: if I rename my status.sav to become 
status.log and try to start nagios, I get the following error:

NAGIOS CRITICAL - could not find proc file: /proc/29069

The number changes with each invocation of Nagios.  Nagios bails out at 
this point and won't start.  Most peculiar.

Any clues?

Luke.

Hi all,

Running Nagios 1.1 with Nagmin 2.0.6 to configure.  I've set up some service dependencies, and when I try to verify, it fails for some reason.  The error message I get is:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v -c /usr/local/nagmin/nagios/verify.cfg 
Verification Failed!!
Nagios 1.1

Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagmin/nagios/ServiceDependency.cfg' on line 8.


Now when looking at the ServiceDependency.cfg file, here's what's in there:

1: ## NagMIN Configuration File (/usr/local/nagmin/nagios/ServiceDependency.cfg) for ServiceDependency
2: ## Generated Sun Dec 14 18:47:25 2003

8:     notification_failure_criteria    d,u
9: }

(Line one is just wrapped.)  Can anyone see why this is failing?

Do you have a service exactly named "URL_agri_HS_Rodeo" somewhere?

Hi All,

This is my first email on this list so be gentle. I found a post in the
archives that talks about using EventSentry and Syslog-ng to capture and
process Windows 2000 event logs into Nagios. The person even supplies a
script (which I am not really sure what it does) but does explain how he
gets the notifications from EventSentry into the Nagios logs.

Can anyone help me with this? or is there now a better way?

Thanks,

Subject: check_http
Message-ID: <326E2E28-2EC9-11D8-BF3F-000A95B96BB0@anshulgupta.com>

Hi All,

I am new nagios user. I want to check the status the virtual hosts but 
couldn't do it.

Suppose there is one virtual host,
abc.xyz.com - 1.2.3.4

Now to check it, I use the default arguments in check_http in the 
checkcommands.cfg.

But if I add shouldfail.xyz.com - 1.2.3.4, it still gives OK as it 
establishes the connection to 1.2.3.4 at port 80 and doesn't check for 
any association between the HOSTADDRESS and HOSTNAME.

I modified the check_http arguments -H $HOMENAME$. It will fail but if 
I add www.hotmail.com - 1.2.3.4 it will still say it's OK. Is there any 
way to check both HOSTADDRESS and HOSTNAME.

Also can I check the DocumentRoot of virtual host? The uri thing is not 
working for me. Does check_http actually sends the vhost name and try 
to check it's document root?


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Anshul

Hi,

Found the answer to my problem.  The /var/spool/nagios/nagios.cmd file was 
not writable by the nagios process.  This error message was found in the 
nagios log rather than any output to the terminal.

Cheers,
Luke.

It might be worth trying to use the crle command on Solaris. I've had a 
problem with another application where using this was the only way it 
would work (using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, --with-libs, etc. didn't work).

For instance if your libs are in /usr/local/lib try:

crle -u -l /usr/local/lib

HTH,

Jim

Hi Wolfgang,

i had the same problem, but haven't found a real solution for this..
but i've developed a workaround for this problem:
i link to a dynamically created page (in fact a php page, but perl would
also do this) and i get the *links* i want

example:
notes_url https://nagios..../notes.php?host=MYHOSTNAME

the scripts looks in a database which information is stored for this
host, and prints out the links ...

hth

using:
Solaris 8 s28_38shwp2
gcc (GCC) 3.3

I've had no problems compiling libmcrypt-2.5.7

ldd libmcrypt.so.4.4.7
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib/libc_psr.so.1

might help you?

If security while transporting the Nagios status packets is not of your
ultimate concern, you could consider using the send_nsca.pl Perl script.
It works fine, and does not have a dependency on libmcrypt. The only
"negative" is that it only uses the Nagios "proprietary" "xor" encryption
method. You can find it at :
http://jasonplancaster.com/projects/scripts/send_nsca/

Message-ID: <B3589388E2ACD411800400508B952458085CA72B@wehntex002.qwest.net>




Hi,

I'm having problems with an event handler for schedule service checks,
when  I run the command I see the service check being submitted, but it
doesn't appear on the webpage for nagios and the time is not being
modified for the next service, wondering if anyone had an idea of the
syntax shown below is correct for the current version of nagios:


#!/bin/sh
# This script will write a command to the Nagios command
# file to cause Nagios to process a passive service check
# result.  Note: This script is intended to be run on the
# same host that is running Nagios.  If you want to 
# submit passive check results from a remote machine, look
# at using the nsca addon.
#
# Arguments:
#  $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is
#       associated with)
#  $2 = svc_description (Description of the service)
#  $3 = next_notification_time (Time of next notification)
# 

echocmd="/bin/echo" CommandFile="/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd"
datetime=`date +%s`
cmdline="[$datetime] SCHEDULE_SVC_CHECK;$1;$2;$3"
`$echocmd $cmdline >> $CommandFile`
############################################################3
I grabbed this script from event handler directory in the base source
installation of nagios.

this is how i run it , 
 ./schedule_service_check test-host Ping 1070288900

this is what i see in nagios.log 


[1071253051] EXTERNAL COMMAND:
SCHEDULE_SVC_CHECK;test-host;Ping;1070288900


The problem is that the website is not updating the new scheduled
service check time. 

Thanks,

David C

Hello,

   I'd like to monitor a service on the servers and page the admins if
the service becomes available.

   In this case, the service is the netscape admin server. It shouldn't
be running all the time so I'd like to page out when it's started. It
could also be sendmail or nfs for the servers that don't perform the
service but have the service activated after patching.

   I'm basically checking here to see if there's a command I missed
before creating a wrapper which will swap the exit codes (0 for 1 and 1
for 0).

   Thanks.

Carl

Marc,

   Thanks. negate doesn't seem to be working as expected or else I'm
throwing too many arguments at it:

./negate check_http -S [server] -p [port] -e "HTTP/1"
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized -   0.443 second response time
|time=  0.443

        }

And notification is working only for second. Alarms are shown only on "Services problems" page, not notified.
I have nothing configured in escalations.cfg. Maybe that's the reason?
But everything working fine for first service?
Any idea what should I chceck?

That's very odd. The bad thing is that I'm seeing the same behavior with
the plugins pulled from CVS on 12/3 --

[root at gemini plugins]# ./negate /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http  -H
<myHost> -I <myIP> -s HTML
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0 second response time 
[root at gemini plugins]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http  -H <myHost>
-I <myIP> -s HTML
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0 second response time

The plugin is very very simple but I've never really used it. I can't
imagine how it could be operator error but one never knows. Is there
anyone out there on the list that uses negate that could provide some
insight?

Hi Folks.

Why do I suspect that the plugin doesn't have proper authorization to 
read the page in question?

 >>HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized [...]

Is it possible to set username and password to be submitted, perhaps? 
Haven't used this plugin myself, but just thought I'd give my take on 
what this problem is....

Subject: Service and Host dependencies
Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.0.20031215094141.00bb5cb0@mail.capband.net>

Hi there,

My goal is to try and get Nagios to stop testing and sending notifications 
for devices when a parent device is down or unreachable. So far, I've been 
successful in getting "Host UNREACHABLE" notifications instead of "Host 
DOWN", when the parent dies, but the checks are still run.

For simplicity's sake, I'd like to know what code I should use for 
sumter.57.SM4 and sumter.24.601. The device sumter.57.SM4 is a Motorola 
Canopy device receiving signal from upstream. The device sumter.24.601 is a 
wireless access point connected to the ethernet port of the Canopy, so if 
the canopy device disconnects, the WAP is beyond our reach.

Excerpt from sumter-square.hosts:
============================
define host{
         use                     generic-host
         host_name               sumter.57.SM4
         alias                   Canopy 5.7 SM Bldg. 601 Charleston Dr.
         address                 10.10.4.19
         parents                 sumter.57.AP1
         check_command           check-host-alive
         max_check_attempts      3
         notification_interval   480
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    d,u,r
         }

define host{
         use                     generic-host
         host_name               sumter.24.601
         alias                   Bldg. 601 - Smartbridge
         address                 10.10.4.64
         parents                 sumter.57.SM4
         check_command           check-host-alive
         max_check_attempts      3
         notification_interval   480
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    d,u,r
         }
===========================

Excerpt from sumter-square.svcs:
===========================
define service{
         use                     generic-service
         host_name               sumter.57.SM4
         service_description     http
         is_volatile             0
         check_period            24x7
         max_check_attempts      3
         normal_check_interval   5
         retry_check_interval    2
         contact_groups          radio-admins
         notification_interval   480
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    w,u,c,r
         check_command           check_canopy
         }

define service{
         use                     generic-service
         host_name               sumter.24.601
         service_description     ping
         is_volatile             0
         check_period            24x7
         max_check_attempts      3
         normal_check_interval   5
         retry_check_interval    2
         contact_groups          radio-admins
         notification_interval   480
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    w,u,c,r
         check_command           check_ap
         }
===========================

As you can see, I use the command "parents  sumter.57.SM4" in the host 
definition of sumter.24.601 to get the "Host UNREACHABLE" messages. Now, 
what can I do to stop the host and service checks from running?

I have looked at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/dependencies.html 
but the doc is pretty confusing. There is no clear statement of what occurs 
when a dependency fails nor what the goal of dependencies are. I'd also 
think there's got to be a better way where I add the dependencies in the 
service definition, rather than in a separate file.

Yes, with a properly constructed check_http command line --


# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http  -H $ARG1$ -I $HOSTADDRESS$
-s \/html
        }

This works with a service definition like

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name
of service template to use

        host_name                       <my_host>
        service_description             HTTP
        retry_check_interval            3
        contact_groups                  nateng-oncall-servers
        check_command
check_http!<www.mydomain_to_check.com>
        }

The -H specifies the HTTP1.1 vhost HOST: to send and the -I specifies
the IP or hostname to connect to. It will exit with CRITICAL if '/html'
isn't found.

status of all hosts and services regardless of the status of the
parents. You can, however, configure it to not notify you of hosts that
are unreachable by removing the 'u' from the notification_options.

Subject: event handler help
Message-ID: <1071504046.25984.84.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up an event handler to restart a DSL modem via X10.
I've followed the documentation closely, but I have two problems:

1) it waited seven hours before even attempting to run the script.

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       gw201
        service_description             PING
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              5
        event_handler                   restart_dsl_modem
        normal_check_interval           10
        retry_check_interval            5
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_ping!100.0,40%!500.0,80%
        }

2) when it ran the script, the script felt that the state wasn't hard
enough and quietly bailed.

cat /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/modem-cycle.sh | grep -v \#

case "$1" in
OK)
        ;;
WARNING)
        ;;
UNKNOWN)
        ;;
CRITICAL)
        case "$2" in
        SOFT)
                case "$3" in
                3)
                        echo -n "Restarting DSL modem (3rd soft critical
state)..."
                        /usr/bin/br -x /dev/ttyS1 -r=3 --off=7
                        logger "DSL modem has been powered off (3 soft
criticals)"
                        sleep 10
                        /usr/bin/br -x /dev/ttyS1 -r=3 --on=7
                        logger "DSL modem has been powered on"
                        ;;
                        esac
                ;;      
        HARD)
                echo -n "Restarting DSL modem (hard critical state)..."
                /usr/bin/br -x /dev/ttyS1 -r=3 --off=7
                logger "DSL modem has been powered off (hard critical)"
                sleep 10
                /usr/bin/br -x /dev/ttyS1 -r=3 --on=7
                logger "DSL modem has been powered on"
                ;;
        esac
        ;;
esac
exit 0

I've upped the timeout and packet loss defaults on that check_ping
because I use traffic shaping and don't want this being triggered just
because the bandwidth is being used (I've had a lot of false positives
caused by check_ping's ICMP being deprioritized). 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

I saw that. I'm not interested in having passwords in a configuration
file.

But in the interests of verification:

./negate check_http -S [server] -p [port] -a [admin:passwd]
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily - ...
./check_http -S [server] -p [port] -a [admin:passwd]
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily - ...

How about just checking the port:

./negate check_tcp -H [server] -p [port]
TCP OK -   0.004 second response time
./check_tcp -H [server] -p [port]
TCP OK -   0.003 second response time

I prefer using the actual service check vs checking the port. There are
times that the port is listening (NT systems primarily) but the service
is unavailable for some reason. In addition, I have one server (NT) that
the check_tcp program causes the service to fail.

Thanks though.

Carl

According to

there is no notification_failure_criteria 'd', only o,w,u,c,n

Subject: [Nagios-users] Page if service is up


Hello,

   I'd like to monitor a service on the servers and page the admins if
the service becomes available.

   In this case, the service is the netscape admin server. It shouldn't
be running all the time so I'd like to page out when it's started. It
could also be sendmail or nfs for the servers that don't perform the
service but have the service activated after patching.

   I'm basically checking here to see if there's a command I missed
before creating a wrapper which will swap the exit codes (0 for 1 and 1
for 0).

   Thanks.

Carl

So, you are still getting errors. Why you get them is what you'd need to 
look at. If you don't want to have a username:password combo in your 
config file, is there any page on that service that is accessible 
without them? If not, it'll be hard to monitor the service you provide. 
How about a dummy user, which is only allowed to look at one page on 
that service?

You can also add Tomcat 4.0.x to that. It has a problem where the port 
is listening, but Tomcat doesn't accept requests. Fixed in 4.1 I believe...

I guess the problem here is in what I'm trying to do. I want the status
to be OK/Green if the service is unavailable. Down is its normal state
and Up is abnormal; even a Yellow/WARNING is acceptible.

If I create a service and call it "MUMBLE", use negate with check_http
or check_tcp and a port, when the service check is run I get a CRITICAL
and a page; service timed out.

That doesn't work.  The timeout for the check_ command is larger than 10,
but you still get a critical "plugin timed out after 10 seconds" regardless.

What are service_check_timeout and host_check_timeout set to in nagios.cfg? They must be more than the highest timeout value specified for a specific plugin.

I think he might need to change DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT in common.h
instead - that value overrides all others.  At least in my experience.

Turns out this problem was actually caused by the nagios user not having
permissions to the TTYs, which was easily corrected. Presumably problem
one is still a problem, though it's conceivable that event_handler
efforts were being made for the first seven hours, but just weren't
being logged. When it had network access again the server was glad to
let me know about all the notification emails it had generated ;-)

I'm sure that's not the case. I have timeout values ranging anywhere from 10 to 45 seconds depending on the plugin with no such modifications to the source. The DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT is probably applied IFF there is no specific timeout specified in nagios.cfg

Hey Marc,

   Hmmm, that's interesting...  I've always had problems with the
"Socket timeout after 10 seconds" if I _haven't_ modified common.h,
regardless of the values I've provided to the plugins individually.

   Specifically, I've had problems with check_smtp - no matter what
I give the plugin, it adhered to the 10 second rule.  I changed the
default in common.h, rebuilt the plugin, and voila!  It worked.

   I don't _think_ I'm doing anything odd...  ;)

There is a value in nagios.cfg you have to update.  service_timeout or 
something like that.

Yes - for me, that has always been overridden by the 10 second timeout
in common.h.  I adjusted the values in nagios.cfg long ago, it was only
when I adjusted it in common.h and rebuilt the plugin that it worked
for me.

I have a server that reboots every morning at 5:00am. Is there a way I
can set the scheduled host downtime to repeat every day for that host at

Peter,

There is currently no way to schedule recurring downtime for a host. To get 
around this, make a timeperiod that excludes 5am to, say, 5:10am (depending 
on how long you don't want to check the services on that host) and apply 
that timeperiod to the service checks on that host.

Greg

Subject: check_snmp ?
Message-ID: <MEEKIPHNBGKKJPCJOAMLAECELKAA.bipsen@andebakken.dk>

Hi!

 I was wondering - is it possibel to use check_snmp to check e.g. the
voltage of +12V on the mainboard - or maybe the input voltage on an UPS ??

Sort of (using the UPS as an example): If the read value is between 215 and
240 the value is OK. If 200-214 or 240-250 issue warning ... and if lower
than 199 or higher than 251, then return critical .....

Can this be done ??

/Brian

You'll have to find this information in your snmp daemon. Once you've got 
the OID of thoses information, you can use check_snmp since it seems that 
you can specifie ranges for critical & warning

Usage:
  check_snmp -H <ip_address> -o <OID> [-w warn_range] [-c crit_range]
           [-C community] [-s string] [-r regex] [-R regexi] [-t timeout]
           [-l label] [-u units] [-p port-number] [-d delimiter]
           [-D output-delimiter] [-m miblist] [-P snmp version]
           [-L seclevel] [-U secname] [-a authproto] [-A authpasswd]
           [-X privpasswd]

(but i can't figure out how to write the range .. maybee lowvalue-highvalue

You'll get a lot more informative output from --help:

- 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.
- If spcified in the order 'max:min' a non-OK state will be returned if
the
  result is within the (inclusive) range.
- Upper or lower bounds may be omitted to skip checking the respective
limit.
- Bare integers are interpreted as upper limits.
- When checking multiple OIDs, separate ranges by commas like '-w
1:10,1:,:20'

The problem for the original poster will lie in the fact that he wants 2
ranges for WARNING and 2 ranges for CRITICAL. I don't think that can be
done. --
	0-199 == critical
	200-214 == warning
	240-250 == warning
	251 - infinity == critical

By default the plugin loads all the MIB files in the local MIBDIR.  If 
net-snmp has any problems parsing any MIB element,then the plugin will 
generate a WARNING.

Solutions:

1. Make sure all the MIBs taht are locally installed are error free

or

2. Use numeric OIDs as above AND use the "-m : " option to disable loading 
of all (including errors) MIBs

Hello all,

I have a Nagios setup where I have a distributed server and a central
server.  I am using passive checks without any problems until now.

Over the weekend, a couple of hosts that are monitored (byt the distributed
server) were shutdown.  On Monday morning, they were booted back up.  On the
Central server, they show the Service (check ping) as being ok, but still
show the host as being down.

In my configuration, the central server can not perform any active checks on
the hosts that are being checked by the distributed server.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Mark

Subject: Please help: max_check_attempts ignored in host definition
Message-ID: <20031216000302.GD6594@hedwig.acns.colostate.edu>

I'm trying to configure Nagios to only alert me on downed hosts if
they've been down for 15 minutes. Here's the relevant part of my
object config file (the interval_length is left to its default of
60 seconds):

define host{
        name                            generic-host
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        notifications_enabled           1
        notification_interval           0       ; only notify once !
        event_handler_enabled           1
        flap_detection_enabled          1
        process_perf_data               1
        retain_status_information       1 
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        register                        0
        }
define host{
        name                    generic-ups
        use                     generic-host
        parents                 ot-l3
        max_check_attempts      15		; notify after 15 minutes
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        register                0
        }
define host {                   
        use             generic-ups
        host_name       test.ups
        alias           test ups
        address         192.168.4.5
        }

No matter what I do with max_check_attempts in the generic-ups
template, I still always get paged approx. 3 minutes after
disconnecting the test.ups host from the network.

I can successfully control the time before I get paged on "ping is
critical" by changing max_check_attempts in the service definition,
but never for the up/down notifications in the host definition.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks much,
Gabriel

Ah, that was it!  NagMIN assigned a default value of d,u to that field, and I just left it in since I wasn't 100% sure what it was at the time. :-)  I think that qualifies as a bug. <grin>  I'll see if I can change the default value to w,u,c so that I don't have to remember to do it myself each time as I'm adding them.  Thanks for the help!

Negate does not negate the output of the plugin.  It only negates the exit
code (which is what Nagios actually keys on).  Using negate should
effectively do what you're looking for (ie alert when service goes up).  The
output will still say "HTTP OK", but it'll show up red/critical due to the
negated status code.

[root at foobar] libexec [1006] ./check_http barbar; echo $?
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 200 OK -   0.004 second response time |time=  0.004
0

[root at foobar] libexec [1007] ./negate check_http barbar;echo $?
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 200 OK -   0.004 second response time |time=  0.005

Subject: Authentication with Apache-LDAP-Modul
Message-ID: <3FDEC424.3060403@enbiz.de>

Hello!
I have a problem with the "logged in as ?".
I want to use the apache-LDAP-authentication-modul. Everything works 
fine, but when I want to use the external commands, I get an error.
Example: I want to disable "flap detection" over the webinterface. The 
interface says "Logged in as nagiosadmin". After I click "Commit" for 
disable the flap detection, the interface says " Logged in as ?" and 
don't compute the command.

In nagios.cfg I do this:
check_external_commands=1

In cgi.cfg I do this:
use_authentication=1
authorized_for_<all directives>=nagiosadmin


Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot!
      Guenther

There are two timeouts to deal with

1) service_check_timeout

which is how long the Nagios process will let a check run before killing it

2) The plugins internal default timeout

This is usually 10 seconds.

So to get a normal plugin to run, for say, 60 seconds, and have the 
potential to let any plugin run up to 90 seconds, you would want to set 
service_check_timeout to 90 and then use the -t flag to the check command 
to allow it to go over 10 seconds.

Subject: Socket error: Connection refused
Message-ID: <brmmat$lur$1@sea.gmane.org>

Hi,

I'm trying to monitore the disk usage of a server. I've overcomed the 
'No perf-definition for service' and 'Unknown Perf-service' error 
messages, but now I've got a 'Socket error: Connection refused', even if 
  the server is reachable, the network works and there's no tcp port 
filtering on the network.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem ?

Thanks
Yo

That's the command but it doesn't seem to be working, or else I'm not

US Stock Market - Stock Profile of the Week

Symbol: NMMG
Market: OTC.BB
Sector: LED TECHNOLOGY


Before we begin our profile we have very exciting after-market news...

Monday December 15, 4:58 pm ET - New Millennium Media Engages Leading Product Commercialization Consulting Firm


BREAKING NEWS - CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2003--New Millennium Media International Inc., (OTCBB: NMMG) announced today that they have engaged Global Works Consulting to assist with the product commercialization of their next generation light emitting diode (LED) video displays utilizing their proprietary OnScreen (TM) technology.

With Dr. Shalom Flank as its Principal, Global Works has been working with local and national clients to commercialize leading-edge technology since 1999. Dr. Flank is an Associate with Haft, Harrison, and Wolfson, Inc., and also operates as a Principal of iPrime Group, a consortium of senior professional consultants. 

According to Steve Velte, NMMG's Director of Research & Development: "Dr. Flank has been working with technology for over 15 years as it goes from abstract innovation to successful implementation. He has been a strategy advisor to start-ups, universities, defense contractors, and investment funds, including AnswerLogic, DevelopmentSpace, GlobalWisdom, the University of Maryland, the Information Sciences Institute, Veridian Systems, and the Washington Square Capital Fund. His experience covers software applications and algorithms, including knowledge management, enterprise portals, bioinformatics, natural language processing, e-learning, and on-line travel. He has also worked with user interfaces and human factors, networked sensors, renewable energy, and defense technology. His unique expertise lies at the intersection of business and technology - understanding the potential, the pitfalls, and the path for creating utility and profit out of new technology." 

Before immersing himself in the entrepreneurial community in Washington, Dr. Flank directly managed over $60M of investment in advanced information technology projects as a Program Manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Dr. Flank has also been visiting scientist at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, has served on the staff of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Stanford University, and the U.S. House of Representatives, and has had appointments at Harvard and MIT. Dr. Flank earned a Ph.D. in a multi-disciplinary program at MIT, along with a Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering, and received a B.A. in Physics from Cornell University. 



STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK

New Millennium Media International (OTCBB: NMMG) specializes in cutting-edge motion display advertising solutions. Their unique Advertising Display Boards and LED Digital Displays offer up a dynamic and cost efficient way to effectively market products and promote brand awareness.

NMMG holds the exclusive United States and Canadian distribution rights to the patented, "IllumiSign EyeCatcher?" Advertising Display Board. IllumiSign EyeCatcher?, the exclusive marketing company for this product, has launched an aggressive national marketing campaign, targeted not only at advertisers, but business opportunity seekers as well. This advertising medium presents excellent benefits to advertisers and lucrative business opportunities to franchisees and corporate sponsors, alike. IllumiSign EyeCatcher? has an inventive, profit sharing program in place called "Partners In Profit" (PIP), which is structured to provide revenue incentives for larger national corporations and venues to tap deeper into their market share by allowing placement of the board in their high traffic and Point of Sales areas. This program has the potential to generate millions of dollars in additional annual revenue for qualifying corporate sponsors, while providing the means for greater public exposure to the IllumiSign
EyeCatcher? Advertising Boards.

NMMG has partnered with E-Vision LED, Inc., a US based company whose affiliates manufacture their state-of-the-art LED displays. This high technology media is the only truly effective way, television aside, for advertisers to display their products in true form. Their LED displays can operate any commercial format on any size board. This gives them a strong competitive advantage with regard to flexibility and ease of control, since the images are programmed and controlled right from their central office.



ON-SCREEN? TECHNOLOGY

The OnScreen? LED Display Architecture is a radical new type of Bright LED video display architecture that is expected to provide key design improvements in cost, weight and brightness of LED displays for such applications as billboards, large outdoor venue video screens and outdoor video advertising. Worldwide, the outdoor advertising market is approximately 19 billion dollars, with the US representing 5.2 billion in 2001, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA). An increasing percentage of these expenditures are utilizing the technologies of motion display advertising- such as the OnScreen? display technology.  

OnScreen? is expected to create a broad-range of products with much better resolution and brighter pictures than the current generation of displays. OnScreen? will be visible in direct sunlight yet avoid many of the issues associated with current displays including sun-loading, wind-loading and excessive weight.  In addition, the new LED architecture produces an advantage that is not available in today's marketplace: a more lightweight, pliable display that can fit any application.  

These are important advantages as the High Brightness LED market is expected to grow from 1.2 billion dollars in 2000 to 4 billion in 2006.  In addition, according to Stanford Resources, the LED sign market value alone is expected to exceed 1 billion by 2006. These projections are made based on existing technology and do not take into account emerging technologies, such as OnScreen?, that can rapidly alter the size and shape of this market.



COMMERCIAL MARKET & STRATEGY

NMMG's initial marketing strategy revolves around licensing intellectual property (IP) to worldwide manufacturers of LED display products and components. The LED sign market is projected to reach over 1 billion dollars by 2006. Lumiled's projects that high brightness LED's, used in LED signs alone, will exceed 1.2 billion by 2007. If these projections hold, the fully manufactured signs would represent a $5 billion market. Whichever number is accurate, they both point towards a robust market for these new LED displays. Many projections don't take into account emerging high growth applications such as the Amber Alert project, Homeland Security and roadway ?intelligent message transfer?.



THE MARKET

An article in Media Post's Media Daily News in March of 2003 noted that the outdoor industry has successfully weathered the recession and that ?our large members say they're having a great first quarter? in 2003. They go on to note that technology is expected to transform both the display and measurement of outdoor advertising. According to Media Daily the most exciting news is coming on the display side, where ?Lamar Advertising is converting their key boards to LED units whose messages can be changed at will and sold in day-parts by the hour or even the minute.? They added that ?Clear Channel's backlit subway panels in stairwells are being converted to LED as well?. Together these companies represent two of the three largest outdoor US advertisers.  

Recent Federal Government legislation has also placed a spotlight on expanding the ?Amber Alert? network nationwide. The highly publicized success in locating a number of kidnapped children shortly after their abduction in California has now triggered federal funding for U.S.-wide expansion of these variable-message signs.  Homeland Security issues have also increased the number of early warning signs being planned and funded as part of an overall information sharing network. Traffic safety is also becoming a much higher priority in the U.S.. It is estimated that just over 60,000 roadway dynamic message signs are in operation in the United States. In Japan alone there are over 1.5 million of these signs. The United States represents a huge growth market for LED displays.



GROWTH OPPORTUNITES

In addition to the outdoor television market, another interesting and exciting application for OnScreen? arrays is artistic lighting in dramatic curved and shaped displays in places like Las Vegas, New York City or really virtually any venue. The tensile, flexible structure of OnScreen? provides unlimited opportunity for creativity. 

The anticipated cost reductions of OnScreen? will also provide ample opportunity for growth of the large-scale LED display market itself. OnScreen?'s unique architecture opens the door for new applications such as curved implementations, billboards on the sides of buildings where tenants can still see out, and lower cost mobile applications on the sides of existing vehicles. 

Homeland Security, Amber Alert variable message signage and instant message transfer applications can also benefit significantly from the advantages of OnScreen?. Reduced wind-loading and weight can significantly lower the cost of the superstructures required to support these signs and also reduce the cost to install and maintain them.

Why is this?

Ah, interesting, a fellow Tennessean ;)

Nagios doesn't actually use sendmail at all. It's going to be whatever program you have configured in your notify-by-email command (probably /bin/mail) which probably calls sendmail for final delivery. Can you show us your notify-by-email command so that we can verify that there's nothing unusual about it? Beyond that, there must be something else, outside of nagios, that's causing a problem. Is there anything in the sendmail log file? Perhaps it's having problems doing DNS resolution or difficulties connecting to the remote SMTP server. If there's nothing in the maillog you could always look at the queue files (/var/spool/mqueue/qf*). They might have information on failures. Also, most newer versions of sendmail show useful information in ps like --

root      1477 22927  0 10:38 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: server chatbox-smtp-out6.apple.com [17.254.6.17] cmd read                 

Do the ones that are hanging out show anything like that? If you're running sendmail as a daemon on that machine it's not unusual to have multiple sendmail children hanging out.

I'm using LDAP auth, and its working fine.  Are you sure that the 
webserver is doing the basic auth? Do you get a passwd prompt from your 
browser?  One thing to make sure of though:

Make sure that both your CGI-BIN dir and the nagios HTML dir are 
protected, or you wont get anything.  Mine looks like the following:


######## STUFF FOR NAGIOS ############################

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share/"
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share/">
     AllowOverride None
     Options None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
     AuthName "Go AWAY!"
     AuthType Basic
     LDAP_Protocol_Version 3
     LDAP_Server my.ldap.server
     LDAP_Port 389
     Base_DN "o=my.base.dn"
     UID_Attr uid
     require user user1
</Directory>

######## STUFF FOR NAGIOS ############################

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/"

     LDAP_Port 389
     Base_DN "o=my.base.dn"
     UID_Attr uid
     require user user1
</Directory>


--------------------------------------------------

And in cgi.cfg I have

use_authentication=1
default_user_name=guest
authorized_for_<everthing>=user1

What happens if you run the plugin manually from the command line? 
Which plugin is this exactly?  Are you sure the daemon is running on the 
server you are checking?

Yo,

If you are using NRPE check the nrpe.cfg file on the client for the allowed_hosts line:

# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is a comma-delimited list of IP address of hosts that are allowed
# to talk to the NRPE daemon.

allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,<your nagios system IP here>

Save the file and restart nrpe daemon on client.

Rudy

Thanks Marc,

After reading your comments, I looked in the logs and show that mail to
nagios-admin at localhost were undeliverable.  There is no nagios-admin user.

Thanks for the direction.

Ah, interesting, a fellow Tennessean ;)

Nagios doesn't actually use sendmail at all. It's going to be whatever
program you have configured in your notify-by-email command (probably
/bin/mail) which probably calls sendmail for final delivery. Can you show us
your notify-by-email command so that we can verify that there's nothing
unusual about it? Beyond that, there must be something else, outside of
nagios, that's causing a problem. Is there anything in the sendmail log
file? Perhaps it's having problems doing DNS resolution or difficulties
connecting to the remote SMTP server. If there's nothing in the maillog you
could always look at the queue files (/var/spool/mqueue/qf*). They might
have information on failures. Also, most newer versions of sendmail show
useful information in ps like --

root      1477 22927  0 10:38 ?        00:00:00 sendmail: server
chatbox-smtp-out6.apple.com [17.254.6.17] cmd read                 

Do the ones that are hanging out show anything like that? If you're running
sendmail as a daemon on that machine it's not unusual to have multiple
sendmail children hanging out.

Hello, 
Could someone tell me how to get nagios to closes the sendmail processes it
spans?? I have several sendmail processes that accumulate until I kill
them.? Why is this?

Hi,

I set up nagios from debian packages, but I have a problem.

When I check nagios configuration it shows it has no
warnings or errors, and I am able to run nagios and its
process is running.

When I run http://myhostname/nagios it says:

Warning: Monitoring process may not be running!

But also it shows Process Information like
uptime, last external check, and other options.

How come it says:
process status: unknown
Check Command Output:  Nagios check command did not return any output
although the process is running and the services are being checked:
I set up one gateway ping check and one SMTP check on an SMTP server.
They return valid results, but still nagios says the process may not be
running.

The privileges for /var/log/nagios/rw are as in the docs.
# ls -ld rw
drwxrws---    2 nagios   nagios         80 Dec 16 18:38 rw

What could be wrong?

Regards,
Maciej

Have you tried running the nagios check command as specified in cgi.cfg
by hand, as the httpd user? It could be a permissions problem (httpd not
able to read status.log or something similar). Also, if you are storing
status data in a database you'll need to use check_nagios_db which is in
the plugins contrib directory I believe.

A 'connection refused' means that nrpe isn't running at all, or isn't 
configured in inetd. 'Connection Refused' means that the kernel wasn't 
expecting a connection to that port. If NRPE is running but isn't 
configured to allow connections from that particular host then you'd get a 
connection that would open and immediately close.

Subject: Why are host checks run from the main process? Does anyone have a
 patch to change it?
Message-ID: <3FDF729F.3040201@unixisgod.com>

We have 270 hosts in nagios right now with a total of 1184 service checks.

I've noticed an issue where the host checks are run from the main nagios 
process. I'm not sure as to the reasoning behind this but it can cause 
problems galore.

Since the main process does all the scheduling, having it do host checks 
seriously breaks things when several hosts are down.

Does anyone have a patch to set host checks to be done outside the main 
scheduling process? Or any suggestions as to how I can alleviate the 
problems it causes?

I know this is causing a problem, since when I disable host checks I go 
from 0 checks a minute (when it hangs) to 400+.

Thanks,
Jeff

Subject: Generating nagios configs from LDAP, nmap, and traceroute
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.51.0312161421240.5324@pixie>

Hi all,

I've just started on a project to generate my nagios configurations, and
I'd like to know if others have worked on similar projects, and I'd also
like to know if others would find this work useful, and if so, how.

One of my barriers to using nagios has always been my unwillingness to
maintain yet another host list.  I already maintain a list of all of my
hosts in LDAP, and my nagios configs need to automatically update
themselves based on that list.  Also, I can't have my nagios configuration
be the definition of what "should" be running on the system, because then
when I update the host I have to update Nagios, which I hate.

So, I'm trying to come up with a design for maintaining my entire Nagios
data configuration automatically.  My LDAP host list is basically
self-maintaining (I have a client/server style script that does most the
work), I already have all of my contacts in LDAP, the network is
authoritative on what machines each of my machines depends on, and the
hosts themselves are (usually) authoritative on what services they should
be providing.

What I want is something to collect all of that and turn it into a valid
nagios config.  However, there are still some pieces missing.  For
instance, the LDAP directory is not currently capable of holding the
templates for the various object types, and there are some nagios-specific
details I'll probably want to associate with hosts and contacts.

So, I think the first step is to create a nagios schema for LDAP.  This is
the main thing I want to check:  Would I be redoing someone else's work
here?  It's definitely a no-no to have schema variety.  If no one else has
ever done this before, then I'll go ahead and create one for OpenLDAP (it
should be easily usable for most other LDAP servers) and contribute it
back to the Nagios developers.

Second is getting the data out of the directory.  I've actually already
created a set of ruby classes which do this quite well.  I've also created
a parser in ruby which can parse existing files and glean all the data in
them; it's a small stretch from where I am to parsing those files and
putting all of their data into LDAP.  Because I don't currently have any
nagios configs, I'm less interested in moving data into LDAP, but I'd be
glad to work with people who would like to transition from storing data in
flat files to storing it in LDAP.

Next is figuring out which services a given host should be running.  I am
currently focusing on external services (i.e., ports), but will later
visit using nrpe et al to monitor other stuff.  I know that there is
already an nmap2nagios script, and I would probably plan on utilyzing
lessons from this script, but because I need the results to interoperate
with the rest of my data structures I'll probably write something similar
in ruby.  This tool will specifically support only scanning specific for
specific ports, as in most cases I don't want to monitor every port.

Lastly is deducing the dependencies for each host.  Apparently not many
people (none?) have built automated topology tools using traceroute, as I
could not find any online (well, I could find some that resulted in maps,
but none that were generically for building topologies).  It should be
pretty simple to do, so I plan on adding a 'dependencies' method or
something to my ruby objects that transparently uses traceroute to figure
out the dependencies.  I may later abstract that into an overall topology
tool, but unless I have a client specifically request that, I am unlikely
to do so any time soon.  (I'm an independent consultant and am doing all
this for a client.)  It also would not be a bad idea to have an option for
automatically monitoring these extra hosts.

So, now that you basically know my plans, my main question is:  Has
someone done something like this before?  I'm slightly incredulous that
everyone using nagios is hand-editing every config file and manually
adding every service and every dependency.

I'm hoping to release all of the code I write, but it will take some
effort on my part, as my current client has one of those we-get-everything
contracts.  At the very least I plan on writing an article on my
experiences and then probably redoing the work in my free time.

Anyone have any of this experience?

Thanks,
Luke Kanies

This is intended behavior. Nagios must determine the status of the host
before it can determine if other hosts and services are down or
unreachable -

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/checkscheduling.html#host_checks

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/tuning.html

7. Optimize host check commands. If you're checking host states using
the check_ping plugin you'll find that host checks will be performed
much faster if you break up the checks. Instead of specifying a
max_attempts value of 1 in the host definition and having the check_ping
plugin send 10 ICMP packets to the host, it would be much faster to set
the max_attempts value to 10 and only send out 1 ICMP packet each time.
This is due to the fact that Nagios can often determine the status of a
host after executing the plugin once, so you want to make the first
check as fast as possible. This method does have its pitfalls in some
situations (i.e. hosts that are slow to respond may be assumed to be
down), but I you'll see faster host checks if you use it. Another option
would be to use a faster plugin (i.e. check_fping) as the
host_check_command instead of check_ping.


No patch exists to change this behavior that I am aware of.

I usually hate answering these questions with "read the FAQ", but
Nagios' is really helpful.

Anyway, check the FAQ, here -

http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=33&expand=false&showdesc=true

Download the script they've linked to their, modify it with your
details, then add a new definition in misccomands.cfg.

Subject: check_by_ssh and "issue" problem
Message-ID: <5.1.1.5.2.20031217105721.031aaac0@pop.qut.edu.au>

Hi all. I am trying to check processes on a remote Linux server. If the 
remote host has the "issue" message (the message displayed by default when 
you connect to the server) displaying, then all I get is the first line of 
the "issue" message returned. If the issue message is turned off, the check 
works fine. They don't want to turn the message off permanently, and say 
they can't do it on a per user basis. Does anyone have any ideas about how 
to get around this.

Thanks very much.

Russell.

On command line, the system doesn't know any 'disk' or 'check_disk' 
command. But I can monitor the disk of my local nagios server  => I 
think it doesn't come from this

 > Are you sure the daemon is running on the server you are checking?
I've got other services monitored on the remote server (http, ping ...).

OK, I've got no nrpe running anywhere. So I'll be looking on that 
direction. What is surprising, is that I can monitore the disk of my 
nagios server but, without any nrpe installed on it.

with 'allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,10.100.5.200' in /etc/nrpe.cfg,
I've got the plugin 'check_disk' installed too, but it still doesn't work

something strange, I can telnet it on port 5666 from nagios server, but 
the connection
is lost after some time :(

thanks
Yo

Subject: Generating nagios configs from LDAP, nmap, and

Message-ID: <EE5168F102C06048B1130A070E6B89303C8ADB@PNNEMP02.pp.egg.com>

Very interesting. I've taken a different tack, mainly because LDAP has not
been implemented in our organisation.

We have a central database (with a web front-end) which talks about the
servers in a generic service way. So we define an environment to consist of
a collection of services (such as webserver, middleware, database, etc) that
are provided on a host. This db also holds information pertinent to the
service (eg, webserver holds the port number, the database holds the sid
information, etc).

Then there is a separate perl script which takes this configuration and then
builds the *.cfg files based on what services are required. Any box with a
service has basic checks (DISK, CPU, MEMORY) included. A webserver will have
a check_http check, a db will have a check_oracle with the defined SID, etc.

I'm currently trying to get a cronjob to update Nagios config every night
based on this info.

I guess there is no reason this information can't be held in LDAP instead of
a central db. I think the power is really in your db configuration and the
gen scripts, but these will be so organisation-specific, that I think there
is little value in passing it round.

Have you seen nagmin or similar? It might pay to check these out before 
making such a sweeping statement. I'd imagine most people quickly move 
to generating config files in some way fairly quickly.

That was kind of my point:  I wasn't aware of any popular config
generation tools, but I didn't quite believe (i.e., was incredulous) that
everyone was doing it manually.

I'll have to look more closely at nagmin.  Thanks.

That's also what we have.
We have a list a all servers (let's say Posix ones), that are polled on 
admin request to refresh the list.
We also have a distribution system (rdist and in the future cfengine) to 
distribute plugins on all hosts.
Then we also distribute to all hosts a Perl script to create nrpe.cfg 
(we use NRPE) et services-hostname.cfg. The later one is then copied on 
the Nagios host with scp (thanks to agent forwarding, so will only work 
with somebodies key, not a server one). Nagios is then reloaded.

I don't think (but I may fool myself ;-) this is the right thing to do. 
You can have different configurations for the same host in Nagios :
- active checks with NRPE,
- passive checks from Nagios crontab,
- passive checks from agent crontab,
- etc.

Either you will limit the model to yours, or you'll have to think and 
write code for all models.
But an LDAP directory could be handy to store dependancies between hosts 
(this server is behind this router, and so on).

As said, we use Perl.

All the choices are made in the script.
I have a function for each type of test (check_disk, check_load, etc.).
All very specific checks (as SAP pings) are configured by hand. It could 
be automatically configured, but it is not).

We have a Perl script (not open source, unfortunately), that queries 
SNMP agents for all network devices (routers and switches). That sort of 
thing could help you to create dependancy information. Net::SNMP is your 
friend.

Yes, but as much integrated as you want.

I do mine manually.  tried nagmin, hated it (i found it's like using a
WYSIWYG HTML editor - sure, it *mostly* works, but the end result isn't
pretty).

I've written a lot of scripts to do things like gen apan config entries
and push extinfo and such.  But hosts.cfg and hostgroups.cfg and
services.cfg (etc) are all by hand.

I watch 247 hosts and 1111 services (and counting).

I find that manually managing the configuration files is really less
work than you'd think.  Once I set up a shell script to automatically
check the configurations out of CVS and bounce Nagios, the workload for
maintaining those configuration files has been minimal.  The only
downside is that it's harder to delegate administration of some servers,
for example to our DBA's.

Subject: check_http 404 error
Message-ID: <3FE08784.2070703@audi.de>

Hi,

one of my servers consistently gives me a "404 Object not found" error. 
The check_http command from commandline works, but not from within nagios.

In checkcommands.cfg I have:

define command{
         command_name    check_url
         command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$
         }

and the services.cfg entry looks like this:

check_command                   check_url!/audi/busnet/

when I run:
./check_http -H is0618 -u /audi/busnet/

I get:
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 200 OK -   0.122 second response time |time=  0.122


What's guing wrong here? I have several other servers where I run the 
check_url command successfully...

Lars

I'm willing to bet you have virtual hosting on that machine. I'm further willing to bet that "/audi/busnet" isn't available on the default virtual host.

Remember that nagios will be running:

  check_http -H <IP of Server> -u /audi/busnet/

I bet if you ran that, it'd give you a 404 as well!

You can change your command definition to take the hostname if you like, there's a good list of macros available in the documentation.

Hi,

configuration itself looks good. 404 means page not found which is strange in 
this case as it works from command line.

Does that particular directory perhaps have some ip based restrictions and you 
checked the commandline from another host than the nagios one?

Hope that helps.

The commands _might_ not be the same. In the host definition, is address
set to 'is0618' or the IP of the machine or something else entirely? You
should also be able to get more information out of your httpd
error/access logs. They should indicate what exactly the plugin is
requesting on your server and hopefully why your httpd daemon is
directing it to the wrong place. With the little information we have to
work with, I suspect that it's a Host-Header mismatch issue, especially
since you're using -H instead of -I. If you're checking virtually hosted
sites, your best bet is to use -I, -H and  then -u if you need that
level of detail.

TECHNOLOGY SECTOR - TECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGH - PATENTS FILED

Symbol: NMMG
Market: OTC.BB
Sector: L.E.D. TECHNOLOGY


Barcharts Rate NMMG an 80% BUY - http://quotes.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sym=NMMG


BREAKING NEWS in technology - New Millennium Media International (OTCBB: NMMG) announces that it has officially filed its patents---with over 50 claims---protecting its revolutionary technology, a breakthrough in (LED) architecture.  The OnScreen? LED Display Architecture is a radical new type of Bright LED video display architecture that is expected to revolutionize the 1.5 billion dollar LED display market.  This breakthrough technology will give NMMG great potential to capture significant market share in the the 19 billion dollar outdoor advertising market.

With all the new initiatives in Homeland Security and the Amber Alert, Intelligent Message Signs (IMS) are the future, and with the recent signing of new laws and federally mandated funds in the billions of dollars, NMMG and its patent-pending OnScreen technology is poised to lead the way.  NMMG currently has the only technology that allows it to build onto exisiting infrastructure, i.e. road signs, billboards, etc.  Imagine one day you are driving home on the freeway past a road sign you have seen a thousand times before--but this time you notice something different.  This time you see a WARNING lit up--truck overturned 1 mile ahead--hazardous chemicals spilled.  The sign advises you to exit immediately and to safety.  Such a warning was broadcast instantly and using NMMG's OnScreen technology.  You never noticed, as you drove by the roadside every day, that OnScreen was draped over the sign all this time.  Now it has sprung into action by the punch of a button on a PC from a central station--instantly and just in the nick of time.  You have just experienced OnScreen technology.  And that is just one example.  The possibilities are limitless.  And because OnScreen can be applied to existing structures like road signs or billboards, its cost-effectiveness makes it far and away the technology choice.

NMMG will unveil its breakthrough technology at the STRATEGIES IN LIGHT conference on February 2-4, 2004 at the San Mateo Marriott Hotel in San Mateo, California. This unique event is considered to be the premier annual forum for addressing commercial developments in high-brightness LEDs, as well as an unparalleled networking opportunity for suppliers and users of these devices. The growing interest in, and expanding attendance at, this event, reflects the excitement associated with a market that has grown by 50% since 2000, while other semiconductor and optical component industries have stagnated or experienced large declines.



ON-SCREEN? TECHNOLOGY

OnScreen? is expected to create a broad-range of products with much better resolution and brighter pictures than the current generation of displays. OnScreen? will be visible in direct sunlight yet avoid many of the issues associated with current displays including sun-loading, wind-loading and excessive weight.  In addition, the new LED architecture produces an advantage that is not available in today's marketplace: a more lightweight, pliable display that can fit any application.  These are important advantages as the High Brightness LED market is expected to grow from 1.2 billion dollars in 2000 to 4 billion in 2006.  In addition, according to Stanford Resources, the LED sign market value alone is expected to exceed 1 billion by 2006. These projections are made based on existing technology and do not take into account emerging technologies, such as OnScreen?, that can rapidly alter the size and shape of this market.



COMMERCIAL MARKET & STRATEGY

NMMG's initial marketing strategy revolves around licensing intellectual property (IP) to worldwide manufacturers of LED display products and components. The LED sign market is projected to reach over 1 billion dollars by 2006. Lumiled's projects that high brightness LED's, used in LED signs alone, will exceed 1.2 billion by 2007. If these projections hold, the fully manufactured signs would represent a $5 billion market. Whichever number is accurate, they both point towards a robust market for these new LED displays. Many projections don't take into account emerging high growth applications such as the Amber Alert project, Homeland Security and roadway ?intelligent message transfer?.



THE MARKET

An article in Media Post's Media Daily News in March of 2003 noted that the outdoor industry has successfully weathered the recession and that ?our large members say they're having a great first quarter? in 2003. They go on to note that technology is expected to transform both the display and measurement of outdoor advertising. According to Media Daily the most exciting news is coming on the display side, where ?Lamar Advertising is converting their key boards to LED units whose messages can be changed at will and sold in day-parts by the hour or even the minute.? They added that ?Clear Channel's backlit subway panels in stairwells are being converted to LED as well?. Together these companies represent two of the three largest outdoor US advertisers.  

Recent Federal Government legislation has also placed a spotlight on expanding the ?Amber Alert? network nationwide. The highly publicized success in locating a number of kidnapped children shortly after their abduction in California has now triggered federal funding for U.S.-wide expansion of these variable-message signs.  Homeland Security issues have also increased the number of early warning signs being planned and funded as part of an overall information sharing network. Traffic safety is also becoming a much higher priority in the U.S.. It is estimated that just over 60,000 roadway dynamic message signs are in operation in the United States. In Japan alone there are over 1.5 million of these signs. The United States represents a huge growth market for LED displays.



GROWTH OPPORTUNITES

In addition to the outdoor television market, another interesting and exciting application for OnScreen? arrays is artistic lighting in dramatic curved and shaped displays in places like Las Vegas, New York City or really virtually any venue. The tensile, flexible structure of OnScreen? provides unlimited opportunity for creativity. 

The anticipated cost reductions of OnScreen? will also provide ample opportunity for growth of the large-scale LED display market itself. OnScreen?'s unique architecture opens the door for new applications such as curved implementations, billboards on the sides of buildings where tenants can still see out, and lower cost mobile applications on the sides of existing vehicles. 

Homeland Security, Amber Alert variable message signage and instant message transfer applications can also benefit significantly from the advantages of OnScreen?. Reduced wind-loading and weight can significantly lower the cost of the superstructures required to support these signs and also reduce the cost to install and maintain them.

Subject: Trouble ticket integration
Message-ID: <C022143432DD8F4EBAFFE0F0F577D0B7721D06@jacexchange01.gc.gov>

Has anyone ever attempted trouble ticket integration with Nagios?
I can generate trouble tickets in our trouble ticket system (HEAT) via
SMTP mail, but I really need to have bi-directional integration between
Nagios and HEAT.
 
Here is what I would **like** to have happen:
1) Nagios detects a fault condition (host or service)
2) Nagios opens a HEAT ticket
3) HEAT responds via SMTP with ticket # in subject line
4) **something** magical happens and a comment is added to the
host/service that generated the ticket containing the HEAT ticket #
OR
does Nagios keep some type of UNIQUE event ID?  If so, then:
1) Nagios detects a fault condition (host or service)
2) Nagios opens a HEAT ticket that includes the unique event ID
(operators need to be correlate between a HEAT ticket and a Nagios
event).
 
what I would **love** to have happen:
5) HEAT user owns the ticket
6) **something** magical happens and a comment is added to the
host/service that generated the ticket
and/or
7) Nagios user acknowledges the host/service problem
8) **something** magical happens and HEAT ticket is closed
and/or
5) HEAT user closed the ticket
6) **something** magical happens and a comment is added to the
host/service that generated the ticket (possibly acknowledging it, if
necessary - but it shouldn't be as the problem **ought** to be resolved,
else why close the ticket)
 
I know how to do this for HP OpenView (NNM and OVO) and both Vantive &
Remedy.
 
I couldn't find a way to do this with Nagios..... Don't get me wrong,
I'm impressed with Nagios - I just **know** how to do this in HP-OV and
I couldn't figure out how to do this in Nagios....
 
TIA,

There is a check_pgsql as part of the standard plugins. You need to have
the postgres devel and lib's installed before compiling though.

We use HEAT and Nagios here so I have interest in your inquiry.  Here our
programming group has come up with some of the magic you are looking for by
manipulating the HEAT system through the back door i.e. writing directly to
the database tables.  They do this to create tickets with some home grown
applications and do web reporting of tickets currently in the system.  You
should be able to find the magic your looking for using this method, it
seems to work well.

Subject: Newbie question...which plugins to use?
Message-ID: <DCB9B7AA2CAB7F418919D7B59EE45BAF329FBB@mail-sc-6.nvidia.com>

I've got a couple of questions about the various plugin choices that are
available...

Is there any benefit to using check_fping over check_ping?  My understanding
(which may be wrong) is that the only difference in ping and fping is that
fping can ping a list of machines in parallel.  That seems great, but I
don't see how this helps with the check_fping plugin, since it's only going
to work on one host, anyway.

Also...why do we have both check_dns and check_dig?  From my perspective,
check_dns looks like the superior check since you can supply an address that
you expect to be returned.  Is there a reason to have them both, or is
check_dig just left for historical reasons?

Finally...looks like the first plugin that I will be writing myself will be
something to check that NIS servers are working...unless someone has already
done this, and I'm not finding it.  Is there a check_nis out there somewhere
before I reinvent the wheel?  :-)

Thanks!

I am having issues with the check_procs command on AIX 5L systems.  There
is certain instance where it will report a Critical state of no processes
existing, when indeed the process does exist.  After digging, I believe it
is issuing a ps -el.  I have also changed the check_proc.c code to use the
verbose setting.  This the output when I run the command on a AIX 5L system

Subject: Monitoring Unix memory and network
Message-ID: <sfe095da.025@idfs1.ideiadigital.com.br>

Hello,

I'm using Nagios to monitor some Windows NT/2K and Unix servers. Among the various things I have to monitor is memory and network usage. I managed to do this on Windows using NSClient and fetching data from Windows perfomance counters but I didn't find a way to do the same with a Unix box (I'm testing on a FreeBSD 4.5 server). I have installed the nagios-plugins and couldn't find anyone who can give me memory and network traffic (inbound/outbound bytes) stats.

Any hints on how to do this?

Thanks

Message-ID: <880E60DA7286AB4CBEECB01B169A63BD1413E8BE@NJ-2K-Email1.delphi-tech.com>

I recently read the post about notify-via-jabber and went to impliment it
immediately.  A small note is how would I be able to insert new lines into
the message instead of having one long sentence?

Also, I use SSL enabled Jabber and noticed there wasn't support in the perl
script for it.  Simple patch is:

--- notify_via_jabber   2003-12-17 14:24:40.000000000 -0500
+++ notify_via_jabber1  2003-12-17 14:25:09.000000000 -0500
@@ -32,9 +32,10 @@
 use constant RESOURCE  => 'resource';
 use constant MESSAGE   => $ARGV[1];
 use constant MAXWAIT   => 2 ;
+use constant SSL       => 1;

 my $connection = Net::Jabber::Client->new();
-$connection->Connect( "hostname" => SERVER,"port" => PORT )  or die
+$connection->Connect( "hostname" => SERVER,"port" => PORT,"ssl" => SSL )
or die
 "Cannot connect ($!)\n";

 my @result = $connection->AuthSend( "username" => USER,"password" =>

of course, you'll also have to make sure the port is changed properly, SSL
can be 1 or 0 (go figure).

I've found the same thing -- I wound up creating one file per host, sorted
into directories based on install site, and put services in the files with the
hosts.  Manual maintenance has been pretty easy doing things that way, except
for the issue of getting non-sysadmins to maintain the configs.  Sticking with
the DBA example... I'm currently taking the position that the DBAs are
responsible for scheduling downtime, acknowledging notifications, etc.. but
that if they make major changes which require a Nagios config change, they
copy the sysadmins who will reflect the change in Nagios.

Maybe one day I'll invest the time to train the programmers and DBAs on
maintaining the config files, and then work out the right CVS rules to only
allow them to modify their files.. but for now that is more work than
maintaining the configs on their behalf.

Greetings,

??????????? For some reason the script that updates the central server is not executing but all other external commands seem to work fine.? I was hoping that someone might be able to help?? Here is the configuration (sorry about the length)...

<MARC> - Is there any error message in /var/log/messages on either machine? You might try enabling the debug option in nsca.cfg to get more detailed information. You should also try submitting a check result by calling send_nsca manually. That might spit out some errors. I'd also verify that nsca is listening on the IP/Port you expect it to be via netstat -aelp.


Central Server (10.1.1.4)
??????????? NSCA running in daemon mode with the following config...
??????????????????????? server_port=5667
[snip]
<MARC> NSCA config looks fine at first glance.
??????????? 
??????????? nagios.cfg has the following..
[snip]

command_check_interval=30s

<MARC> - This isn't valid for a 1.1 or below config AFAIK (it may be for a 2.0 config though). This should be an integer value specifying a multiple of the interval_length. For example, if you have your interval length set at 60 (seconds), then a 1 here would cause nagios to check for external commands every 60 seconds. 2 would mean every 120 seconds. The only odd value you could have here would be -1 which would cause nagios to check for external commands as often as possible. This could very well be your problem. A simple test would be to do an ls -l on rw/nagios.cmd and see if it's anything other than 0 length. If it's not then NSCA is successfully appending new results to the file but nagios may not be reading them.

Distributed Server (10.1.1.3)

[snip]
<MARC> Distributed server information looked fine. It is interesting to note that your had the command_check_interval set to -1 here where I would expect the least number of external commands (if any) to be received. That's more of a work-flow thing anyway I would suspect.

Marc,

	First and foremost, Thanks for the response!

	I was unable to locate anything strange when I did a tail -f
/var/log/messages on either machine.

	Thanks for the heads up on the command_check_interval setting.  That
was there for testing and I forgot to change it back.

	I'm not sure why the oscp_command is not executing on the
distributed server when the configuration tells it to execute?? 

	One strange thing to note though...  If I run the script manually
from the distributed server it connects for 10secs and then times out.  This
is the output of /var/log/messages on the central server...
		Dec 17 13:20:44 nsca[6650]: Handling the connection...
		Dec 17 13:20:54 nsca[6650]: End of connection...

Thanks again!
Jeff

Hi,

We're doing exactly this sort of thing at the moment.

It's a real pain in the ass having to manage a whole range of
applications to monitor/manage network elements.  We use Nagios, Cricket
(RRDTool), Pancho, Networklens, Smokeping, and one or two others.  Each
of them have their own way of storing their configuration information.
Each of them have some nifty application that can be used to manage
them.  Urgh!

We're using LDAP as a machine database of sorts.  The theory goes
something like this.  We'll have our own application (both web-based and
a PyGTK tool) which will be used to modify/view/add records in LDAP. 
Once you're happy with a configuration you can "push" the new device to
the various applications you'll be using.  So it'll put a good
Defaults/Targets definition in the right spot in the Cricket config
tree, it'll build the host/hostgroups/service configs for Nagios, that
sort of thing.  It'll obviously config the other tools we use, but those
are the main two we're working on right now.

I've got a rough schema hacked out for Cricket at the moment, so we're
just beyond the planning stage finally.  The Nagios schema will probably
be next.
 
If there's any interest for this sort of thing let me know.  I'll see if
I can con our management into releasing these sorts of things. If not
I'll put up some documenation on what we've done and why we did it.

I hate release dates, but we should have a fairly working tool by
mid-late February.

Rocking!

Ben

Subject: [Nagios-users] NSCA Distributed Server

Greetings,

??????????? For some reason the script that updates the central server is
not executing but all other external commands seem to work fine.? I was
hoping that someone might be able to help?? Here is the configuration (sorry
about the length)...

<MARC> - Is there any error message in /var/log/messages on either machine?
You might try enabling the debug option in nsca.cfg to get more detailed
information. You should also try submitting a check result by calling
send_nsca manually. That might spit out some errors. I'd also verify that
nsca is listening on the IP/Port you expect it to be via netstat -aelp.


Central Server (10.1.1.4)
??????????? NSCA running in daemon mode with the following config...
??????????????????????? server_port=5667
[snip]
<MARC> NSCA config looks fine at first glance.
??????????? 
??????????? nagios.cfg has the following..
[snip]

command_check_interval=30s

<MARC> - This isn't valid for a 1.1 or below config AFAIK (it may be for a
2.0 config though). This should be an integer value specifying a multiple of
the interval_length. For example, if you have your interval length set at 60
(seconds), then a 1 here would cause nagios to check for external commands
every 60 seconds. 2 would mean every 120 seconds. The only odd value you
could have here would be -1 which would cause nagios to check for external
commands as often as possible. This could very well be your problem. A
simple test would be to do an ls -l on rw/nagios.cmd and see if it's
anything other than 0 length. If it's not then NSCA is successfully
appending new results to the file but nagios may not be reading them.

Distributed Server (10.1.1.3)

[snip]
<MARC> Distributed server information looked fine. It is interesting to note
that your had the command_check_interval set to -1 here where I would expect
the least number of external commands (if any) to be received. That's more
of a work-flow thing anyway I would suspect.

There is a check_pgsql as part of the standard plugins. You need to have
the postgres devel and lib's installed before compiling though.

Subject: [Nagios-users] RE: Trouble ticket integration

We use HEAT and Nagios here so I have interest in your inquiry.  Here our
programming group has come up with some of the magic you are looking for by
manipulating the HEAT system through the back door i.e. writing directly to
the database tables.  They do this to create tickets with some home grown
applications and do web reporting of tickets currently in the system.  You
should be able to find the magic your looking for using this method, it
seems to work well. 

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Has anyone ever attempted trouble ticket integration with Nagios?
I can generate trouble tickets in our trouble ticket system (HEAT) via
SMTP mail, but I really need to have bi-directional integration between
Nagios and HEAT.
=20
Here is what I would **like** to have happen:
1) Nagios detects a fault condition (host or service)
2) Nagios opens a HEAT ticket
3) HEAT responds via SMTP with ticket # in subject line
4) **something** magical happens and a comment is added to the
host/service that generated the ticket containing the HEAT ticket #
OR
does Nagios keep some type of UNIQUE event ID?  If so, then:
1) Nagios detects a fault condition (host or service)
2) Nagios opens a HEAT ticket that includes the unique event ID
(operators need to be correlate between a HEAT ticket and a Nagios
event).
=20
what I would **love** to have happen:
5) HEAT user owns the ticket
6) **something** magical happens and a comment is added to the
host/service that generated the ticket
and/or
7) Nagios user acknowledges the host/service problem
8) **something** magical happens and HEAT ticket is closed
and/or
5) HEAT user closed the ticket
6) **something** magical happens and a comment is added to the
host/service that generated the ticket (possibly acknowledging it, if
necessary - but it shouldn't be as the problem **ought** to be resolved,
else why close the ticket)
=20
I know how to do this for HP OpenView (NNM and OVO) and both Vantive &
Remedy.
=20
I couldn't find a way to do this with Nagios..... Don't get me wrong,
I'm impressed with Nagios - I just **know** how to do this in HP-OV and
I couldn't figure out how to do this in Nagios....

Subject: [Nagios-users] Newbie question...which plugins to use?

I've got a couple of questions about the various plugin choices that are
available...

Is there any benefit to using check_fping over check_ping?  My understanding
(which may be wrong) is that the only difference in ping and fping is that
fping can ping a list of machines in parallel.  That seems great, but I
don't see how this helps with the check_fping plugin, since it's only going
to work on one host, anyway.

Also...why do we have both check_dns and check_dig?  From my perspective,
check_dns looks like the superior check since you can supply an address that
you expect to be returned.  Is there a reason to have them both, or is
check_dig just left for historical reasons?

Finally...looks like the first plugin that I will be writing myself will be
something to check that NIS servers are working...unless someone has already
done this, and I'm not finding it.  Is there a check_nis out there somewhere
before I reinvent the wheel?  :-)

Thanks!

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_procs -C on AIX 5L

I am having issues with the check_procs command on AIX 5L systems.  There
is certain instance where it will report a Critical state of no processes
existing, when indeed the process does exist.  After digging, I believe it
is issuing a ps -el.  I have also changed the check_proc.c code to use the
verbose setting.  This the output when I run the command on a AIX 5L system

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Unix memory and network

Hello,

I'm using Nagios to monitor some Windows NT/2K and Unix servers. Among the =
various things I have to monitor is memory and network usage. I managed to =
do this on Windows using NSClient and fetching data from Windows perfomance=
 counters but I didn't find a way to do the same with a Unix box (I'm =
testing on a FreeBSD 4.5 server). I have installed the nagios-plugins and =
couldn't find anyone who can give me memory and network traffic (inbound/ou=
tbound bytes) stats.

Any hints on how to do this?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Jabber message newlines --and-- notify_via_jabber
patch for ssl

I recently read the post about notify-via-jabber and went to impliment it
immediately.  A small note is how would I be able to insert new lines into
the message instead of having one long sentence?

Also, I use SSL enabled Jabber and noticed there wasn't support in the perl
script for it.  Simple patch is:

--- notify_via_jabber   2003-12-17 14:24:40.000000000 -0500
+++ notify_via_jabber1  2003-12-17 14:25:09.000000000 -0500

 use constant RESOURCE  => 'resource';
 use constant MESSAGE   => $ARGV[1];
 use constant MAXWAIT   => 2 ;

 my $connection = Net::Jabber::Client->new();
-$connection->Connect( "hostname" => SERVER,"port" => PORT )  or die
+$connection->Connect( "hostname" => SERVER,"port" => PORT,"ssl" => SSL )

of course, you'll also have to make sure the port is changed properly, SSL
can be 1 or 0 (go figure).

I've found the same thing -- I wound up creating one file per host, sorted
into directories based on install site, and put services in the files with
the
hosts.  Manual maintenance has been pretty easy doing things that way,
except
for the issue of getting non-sysadmins to maintain the configs.  Sticking
with
the DBA example... I'm currently taking the position that the DBAs are
responsible for scheduling downtime, acknowledging notifications, etc.. but
that if they make major changes which require a Nagios config change, they
copy the sysadmins who will reflect the change in Nagios.

Maybe one day I'll invest the time to train the programmers and DBAs on
maintaining the config files, and then work out the right CVS rules to only
allow them to modify their files.. but for now that is more work than
maintaining the configs on their behalf.

Hi,

We're doing exactly this sort of thing at the moment.

It's a real pain in the ass having to manage a whole range of
applications to monitor/manage network elements.  We use Nagios, Cricket
(RRDTool), Pancho, Networklens, Smokeping, and one or two others.  Each
of them have their own way of storing their configuration information.
Each of them have some nifty application that can be used to manage
them.  Urgh!

We're using LDAP as a machine database of sorts.  The theory goes
something like this.  We'll have our own application (both web-based and
a PyGTK tool) which will be used to modify/view/add records in LDAP. 
Once you're happy with a configuration you can "push" the new device to
the various applications you'll be using.  So it'll put a good
Defaults/Targets definition in the right spot in the Cricket config
tree, it'll build the host/hostgroups/service configs for Nagios, that
sort of thing.  It'll obviously config the other tools we use, but those
are the main two we're working on right now.

I've got a rough schema hacked out for Cricket at the moment, so we're
just beyond the planning stage finally.  The Nagios schema will probably
be next.
 
If there's any interest for this sort of thing let me know.  I'll see if
I can con our management into releasing these sorts of things. If not
I'll put up some documenation on what we've done and why we did it.

I hate release dates, but we should have a fairly working tool by
mid-late February.

Rocking!

Ben

Cool, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

I basically have the Nagios schema finished, so if we could agree on one
and then send it to the nagios maintainers for inclusion or something,
that would be great.  OTOH, I'm interested in your Cricket schema; have
you sent it to the Cricket maintainers?

I'm definitely interested, and I expect that as we get a more complete
system (and maybe someone releases some docs) more people will get
interested.  We could take this offline, maybe.

Very cool.  I don't know what percentage of time I'll be allocated to this
in the near future, but I'm already generating Nagios configurations out
of LDAP, but they don't include any service checks.  This month and in
January I plan to add nmap and traceroute functions to the nagios objects
so that they'll automatically built port checks and IP dependencies, but I
don't know if I'll be able to release them.

Heh.  If you're company would like to hire me to work on this for them,
I'd love to come spend a few months in Australia. :)

Hi All,

I am in the process of customizing nagios for my company. It gives the 
message "Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing"  
when I reload the configuration. Also when I host/service is UP again, 
it still shows in the status as down with the same error "Return code 
of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing".

What can be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Anshul

Yeah, plus if it's all just generated in a big lump, you tend never to 
really understand it the same as if you'd written it yourself by hand.  In 
the short term it's easier but in the longer term you end up scratching 
your head more, and wasting more time trying to understand what's been 
generated!  Like reading somebody elses sloppy code!

I find the best way is to whip up a quick and dirty perl script (or
bash/sed/awk, whatever) to mangle the data out of whatever form it's in
and turn it into something I can paste into the config.  It sounds old
fashioned, but you would be surprised how often we export from whatever
data source (usually windows-based, like Maximizer, ugh) to a flat text
comma-delimited file, then just mangle that out into a series of config
entries using perl.  We only do this infrequently tho (once every few
months) and it only takes me half an hr or so each time.  Sure beats data
entry!!

> I watch 247 hosts and 1111 services (and counting).

Bout the same for us.  Next step is trying to implement something with
net::ssh::perl that logs in and restarts services that fail, somehow
linked to event handlers.  Anyone had experience with this?  Could
check_by_ssh be given some creative commandline arguments?

Luke.

Return code 127 indicates that the plugin couldn't be found. Verify that the $USER1$ macro points to the location the plugins were installed to and/or your command definitions use that macro or specify the full path to the plugin.

Hi Luke,

I have one event handler setup along these lines. It is a bash script that
takes $SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ and $HOSTADDRESS$ and
ssh's into the target machine and restarts the service using Sysinternals
pstools (target machine is Windows, but could be Linux/Unix with correct
permissions). Output of pstools command gets emailed to preset email
address.

Works sensationally. Service blows up, event handler runs, service gets
started. Very cool.

Perl would be better and more secure, but I have had difficulty getting ssh
to work under perl :(

Let me know if you want example scripts

Hi,

I have done it using  '-v'. It has given some warnings about the 
contacts but no errors. When I restart nagios daemon then it nevers 
gives the problem. Only when I reload the configuration using,

/etc/init.d/nagios reload

then it start showing return code 127 ... plugin may be missing.

But then when I restart the daemon, everything starts working 
correctly. Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Anshul

My $USER1$ macro points to /usr/local/nagios/libexec. That's the 
directory in which the check commands are installed. It works fine on 
restart but with reload it gives problem. Also when the host comes UP 
again, it still shows the host in RED color with the same error.

What can be the problem?

Cheers,
Anshul

I've found it best practice to always do full stop/starts, rather than 
using restart.  Restart has the habit of occasionally starting the next 
procee without getting the old one killed on the FreeBSD-STABLE box it 
is running on.  Having two main nagios processes running leads to 
really, really, really interesting behavior.

Not much help, but just an observation.

Hi all,

I am relatively new to nagios. So far I have gotten it working for most of the
things I need but I am having a problem with the following.

I have a couple of hosts that are not up all of the time, but when they are
up I would like the services on them to be monitored. 

In big brother they have a provision for what they refer to as dialup hosts.
When these hosts are connected they get monitored and if the services on them
go down notifications are sent out but if the host is unavailable then all
reporting of the host is suspended and the bbdisplay shows a clear dot. Is
there anyway for nagios to be configured for similar behavior?? 

....Tom

I was just wondering if anyone had any insight on this issue. Does 
nagios just not support sending html output to the external commands? I 
could not find any mention of this sort of thing in the docs or the 
FAQ. I was really hoping I would be able to display the status of the 
router interfaces in the Status Information column in the web 
interface... but I'm running into the below problem.

The big thing this time is that all congiguration has moved from

Ralph,

Which version of the plugins are you using? The 1.4alpha release has some
significant changes and includes using a different ps command.

ok, got it... I didn't realize that nagios never uses the hostname when 
the IP is entered as hostaddress. Changed that for some DHCP clients as 
well now, as sooner or later those would have a problem also.

thanks for the help,

ah, ok... Is there any way to see what plugins are availible? Since I 
didn't see anything about the pgsql plugin, it might well be that I'm 
missing more...

The general management tool issue with this approach (the management 
server doing restarts rather than agents) is that network problems 
between the manager and agent may cause a restart to be kicked off when 
in fact all is OK. Nagios may deal with this by not checking services 
when hosts are down (comments on this welcome). At the moment I have 
restart scripts running as daemons on the servers themselves and just 
use Nagios as a monitor for this reason.

Hi all

I have been asked by my Project manager to investicate snmp.
We currently use nagios as our nms, but we need extra things, like pages 
with graphs etc (like the whole shabang)

So if anyone knows of any other tools etc or knows of a url with 
screenshot etc, that would be greatly be apprectated.

I know there id rbd

But I think we dont need to keep reinventing \ doing the wheel

Kind Regards

TECHNOLOGY SECTOR - TECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGH - PATENTS FILED

Symbol: NMMG
Market: OTC.BB
Sector: L.E.D. TECHNOLOGY


Barcharts Rate NMMG an 80% BUY - http://quotes.barchart.com/texpert.asp?sym=NMMG


BREAKING NEWS in technology - New Millennium Media International (OTCBB: NMMG) announces that it has officially filed its patents---with over 50 claims---protecting its revolutionary technology, a breakthrough in (LED) architecture.  The OnScreen? LED Display Architecture is a radical new type of Bright LED video display architecture that is expected to revolutionize the 1.5 billion dollar LED display market.  This breakthrough technology will give NMMG great potential to capture significant market share in the the 19 billion dollar outdoor advertising market.

With all the new initiatives in Homeland Security and the Amber Alert, Intelligent Message Signs (IMS) are the future, and with the recent signing of new laws and federally mandated funds in the billions of dollars, NMMG and its patent-pending OnScreen technology is poised to lead the way.  NMMG currently has the only technology that allows it to build onto exisiting infrastructure, i.e. road signs, billboards, etc.  Imagine one day you are driving home on the freeway past a road sign you have seen a thousand times before--but this time you notice something different.  This time you see a WARNING lit up--truck overturned 1 mile ahead--hazardous chemicals spilled.  The sign advises you to exit immediately and to safety.  Such a warning was broadcast instantly and using NMMG's OnScreen technology.  You never noticed, as you drove by the roadside every day, that OnScreen was draped over the sign all this time.  Now it has sprung into action by the punch of a button on a PC from a central station--instantly and just in the nick of time.  You have just experienced OnScreen technology.  And that is just one example.  The possibilities are limitless.  And because OnScreen can be applied to existing structures like road signs or billboards, its cost-effectiveness makes it far and away the technology choice.

NMMG will unveil its breakthrough technology at the STRATEGIES IN LIGHT conference on February 2-4, 2004 at the San Mateo Marriott Hotel in San Mateo, California. This unique event is considered to be the premier annual forum for addressing commercial developments in high-brightness LEDs, as well as an unparalleled networking opportunity for suppliers and users of these devices. The growing interest in, and expanding attendance at, this event, reflects the excitement associated with a market that has grown by 50% since 2000, while other semiconductor and optical component industries have stagnated or experienced large declines.



ON-SCREEN? TECHNOLOGY

OnScreen? is expected to create a broad-range of products with much better resolution and brighter pictures than the current generation of displays. OnScreen? will be visible in direct sunlight yet avoid many of the issues associated with current displays including sun-loading, wind-loading and excessive weight.  In addition, the new LED architecture produces an advantage that is not available in today's marketplace: a more lightweight, pliable display that can fit any application.  These are important advantages as the High Brightness LED market is expected to grow from 1.2 billion dollars in 2000 to 4 billion in 2006.  In addition, according to Stanford Resources, the LED sign market value alone is expected to exceed 1 billion by 2006. These projections are made based on existing technology and do not take into account emerging technologies, such as OnScreen?, that can rapidly alter the size and shape of this market.



COMMERCIAL MARKET & STRATEGY

NMMG's initial marketing strategy revolves around licensing intellectual property (IP) to worldwide manufacturers of LED display products and components. The LED sign market is projected to reach over 1 billion dollars by 2006. Lumiled's projects that high brightness LED's, used in LED signs alone, will exceed 1.2 billion by 2007. If these projections hold, the fully manufactured signs would represent a $5 billion market. Whichever number is accurate, they both point towards a robust market for these new LED displays. Many projections don't take into account emerging high growth applications such as the Amber Alert project, Homeland Security and roadway ?intelligent message transfer?.



THE MARKET

An article in Media Post's Media Daily News in March of 2003 noted that the outdoor industry has successfully weathered the recession and that ?our large members say they're having a great first quarter? in 2003. They go on to note that technology is expected to transform both the display and measurement of outdoor advertising. According to Media Daily the most exciting news is coming on the display side, where ?Lamar Advertising is converting their key boards to LED units whose messages can be changed at will and sold in day-parts by the hour or even the minute.? They added that ?Clear Channel's backlit subway panels in stairwells are being converted to LED as well?. Together these companies represent two of the three largest outdoor US advertisers.  

Recent Federal Government legislation has also placed a spotlight on expanding the ?Amber Alert? network nationwide. The highly publicized success in locating a number of kidnapped children shortly after their abduction in California has now triggered federal funding for U.S.-wide expansion of these variable-message signs.  Homeland Security issues have also increased the number of early warning signs being planned and funded as part of an overall information sharing network. Traffic safety is also becoming a much higher priority in the U.S.. It is estimated that just over 60,000 roadway dynamic message signs are in operation in the United States. In Japan alone there are over 1.5 million of these signs. The United States represents a huge growth market for LED displays.



GROWTH OPPORTUNITES

In addition to the outdoor television market, another interesting and exciting application for OnScreen? arrays is artistic lighting in dramatic curved and shaped displays in places like Las Vegas, New York City or really virtually any venue. The tensile, flexible structure of OnScreen? provides unlimited opportunity for creativity. 

The anticipated cost reductions of OnScreen? will also provide ample opportunity for growth of the large-scale LED display market itself. OnScreen?'s unique architecture opens the door for new applications such as curved implementations, billboards on the sides of buildings where tenants can still see out, and lower cost mobile applications on the sides of existing vehicles. 

Homeland Security, Amber Alert variable message signage and instant message transfer applications can also benefit significantly from the advantages of OnScreen?. Reduced wind-loading and weight can significantly lower the cost of the superstructures required to support these signs and also reduce the cost to install and maintain them.

Subject: check_log problem
Message-ID: <3FE19BBD.3101.BAB935@localhost>

Hello everybody,

I'm new to Nagios and everything works fine. Nearly everything. I 
can't get the check_log-Plugin work as it it should. I want to check 
the file /var/log/messages on localhost for the word WARNING. To 
do that I have the following lines in checkcommands.cfg:
define command {
	command_name	check_log
	command_line		$USER1$/check_log -F 
/var/log/messages -O /tmp/oldmessages -q $ARG1$
}

At the service checks for my host in services.cfg I do the following:
check_command	check_log!"WARNING"

To test the function I wrote WARNING manually into the messages-
file. But Nagios says 	
Log check ok - 0 pattern matches found

The same happens when I execute check_log manually on bash.

What's my mistake? Can anybody help me?

Thank you, regards
Oliver Marahrens

Message-ID: <6D4580B7330ED811901500D0B7B935D5CFC805@ZUK02EXM04.baseng.comm.mot.com>

Hi,
 
I'm trying to set-up Nagios on a small number of machines before we decide whether to increase the number of systems we watch.  I'm slightly confused by the use of groups in the configuration files.
 
I'm currently trying to set-up services.cfg and it seems quite inefficient.  The sample file appears to call checks in seperate statements, for the same machine.  This means if you want to run 14 checks on 1 machine you have to write 14 "define service" statements.  If I then have 12 machines to run those on, surely the services.cfg file beomes huge!
 
I'm trying to get my head around the use of groups... is it possible to write a check list for a group rather than a host meaning that I only have to write my "define service" statements once.  Meaning the start of the statement would appear:
        define service {
            group_name       linux-servers
 
Rather than:
        define service {
            host_name        linuxserver1
 
It would make sense for this to be possible but as I'm new to the software I'm not sure how to acheive this.  Also is the same true for dependencies?  Can I make groups of machines dependent on 1 host instead of writing dependencies for every machine?
 
Any help and assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks in advance

Hi,

just a suggestion: you have the option dont_blame_nrpe in nrpe.cfg 
on the value 0. If so the nrpe-daemon won't accept any arguments 
given with the command. Change it to 1 and it could work :-)

Greetings

Same here. I renamed the startup script to /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagiosd, added 
a "killall nagios" to the stop code, and a "sleep 30" in the restart code, 
between calling stop and calling start.

However, reload always works fine for me. I only do a restart if I add a 
boatload of new hosts or groups, reload for any changes in config or 
whatnot. What shows up in the nagios logs?

I have an awk script that I've sent to several other list members that
does this same thing.  less convoluted than perl, I think, for a q&d
parsing.

Our plan was SNMP Traps gen'd by event handlers.  Same idea. :)

Larry Wall certainly knows what he's talking about with TMTOWTDI, eh?

Sorry, I didn't really mean to reply off list, just realised I only 
replied to you.

I'm not aware of any unique message ID. For instance one can be notified 
about the same service problem repeatedly depending upon the service 
definition, these are just notifications.

The unique key is really host and service name, and one can change its 
state e.g. pass an external event to make a web service appear in an up 
state. Your integration could consist of your help desk system having 
fields for host and service populated automatically by Nagios. Once the 
ticket is closed a command can set the status to OK in Nagios based on 
this. However, as Nagios will be checking the service at intervals you 
define this may not be worth while, it will detect soon enough all is OK.

You might be better off customising the Nagios and/or trouble ticket 
system interfaces, so for instance you could view all open tickets for a 
Nagios host (assuming your ticketing system is based on inventory or has 
a host/service field that ties up) from the Nagios interface. Then 
passing TT updates as Nagios notes wouldn't be needed.

Jim

sorry for "spamming" the list but my probleme is very strange and i don t 
have any idea

nagios running for a few day on a new machine and all works fine

i add some services and for each services i had  the services appair and 
disappair in the
web interface
sometimes i see them sometimes no
if someone has any idea

for exemple
in the status overview i see 8 services for a machine and when i want to 
see in details and i go
on the machine i just see 3 services.
sometimes it s the opposite ( i see 3 and when i go on the machien i see 3 )

is it a web probleme or a probleme in the config file ???

This is a classic symptom have having multiple nagios processes running
on the same machine. Both are trying to update the status file with
different information. The nagios restart probably didn't kill the old
process before starting the new one.

Actually, there is no if-then test as far as this is concerned. The
command definitions by default use $HOSTADDRESS$, not $HOSTNAME$,
although they could certainly be changed to use that instead. Hostname
is primarily used internally for host/service/hostgroup associations.

I'm all for not understanding how things work if I don't need to
understand.  I have no real idea how device drivers work, and I think
that's a good thing.  I'd some day prefer not to have any idea how Nagios
works; just say "hey, get the hosts from this ldap server" and have it
automagically monitor all of the appropriate stuff.  Let the stupid
computer do the stupid work.

The problem comes when you need to add or remove or change a host.  You
have to do that in every separate application that knows about your host.
If you have a single, normalized, authoritative host list (in LDAP, SQL,
or a flat file; it doesn't matter) then you only need to change that one
list and everyone else automatically updates themselves.

Certainly when I'm done I expect that when I add a host to LDAP or remove
one from LDAP, Nagios will automatically (through no manual effort at all)
rebuild its configuration to take into account this change, including any
services it should monitor and IPs it depends on.  That, combined with
using cfengine to configure nsca on the local host, provides completely
automated monitoring and reaction.

I highly recommend you look at using something like cfengine for
restarting services locally.  It gives you a straightforward syntax for
restarting failed services, although it does not integrate with Nagios
plugin checks.  I've you're just restarting bombed services, though,
that's probably your best bet, and it certainly has fewer security
implications.  As a bonus, you can use it to centralize your nagios
configurations (if you're using nsca or something).

I'm using cfengine to install and configure pretty much all of my open
source software, along with checking that my basic processes are running
(syslog, sshd, etc.) and checking a bunch of other stuff.

Subject: General Status Page
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.53.0312181601580.23117@milkduds.cae.wisc.edu>

Hello

I was wondering if anyone has written an addon to display a very general
status overview page.  At our site, we're looking to have a page users can
look at and understand.  Something like:

If load average on our mail server is high:  "E-mail may be slow"
If webserver is offline:  "Webserver is down"
If our pipe to the outside world is broken:  "Internet link is down"
If our wireless firewall is down:  "Wireless is down"

et cetera.

If no one has done this already, can anyone offer any tips on grabbing
host/service group status in real-time from Nagios in a stateless manner?

actually check_dns uses "nslookup" which is on its way out.

Subject: 3 e-mails per host in DOWN state
Message-ID: <52B61873A3467540AF8D4C08BA3AE52A16AE61@ags01.ausgeo.com.au>

Hi Guys,

I'm running Nagios with about 100 clients at the moment. As the clients
are on a VPN, I want to be alerted ONCE, whenever a host goes DOWN, only
during WORKHOURS.

Currently my hosts.cfg file contains;
---------------------------------
# Generic host definition template
define host{
        name                            generic-host    ; The name of
this host template - referenced in other host definitions, used for
template recursion/resolution
        notifications_enabled           1       ; Host notifications are
enabled
        event_handler_enabled           1       ; Host event handler is
enabled
        flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is
enabled
        process_perf_data               1       ; Process performance
data
        notification_interval           0       ; one alert
        retain_status_information       1       ; Retain status
information across program restarts
        retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts

        register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }

define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
template to use

        host_name               vpn-client
        alias                   VPN Client
        address                 192.168.111.111
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_period     workhours
        notification_options    d
        parents                 router2
        }
----------------------------------

Despite this, whenever a host goes down I am sent 3 e-mails for the same
issue anywhere between 1 minute to 10 minutes apart.

I have looked for anything obvious and have come up empty. I may be
missing something but don't know what that is.

Cheers,
-Patrick

Hi All,

The distributed server is not able to send the results back to the 
central server. I tried running the script manually and this is what I 
got,

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_results zeus 
'HTTP' CRITICAL  'Connection Refused'
Error: Server closed connection before init packet was received
Error: Could not read init packet from server

submit_check_results is the same script given in the documentation and 
it calls send_nsca with the arguments.

What could be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Anshul

I have checked it. It has the IP of distributed server.

Any other possibility ?

Are you calling nsca through inetd or as a standalone daemon? If through 
inetd, check that inetd has the correct parameters and that hosts.allow 
allows the connection.

Although I haven't found something about contact_groups in your 
configuration, you may want to check if you have several users with
the same email address.  I had a similar problem when I had configured 
both a general 'nagiosadmin' user and a 'regular' user with my address:
I would get every notification twice.  If you get everything three times, 
it might be an additional notify_by_epager command (configured to send 
email) for one user?

(Sorry if that's something you already checked.)

If this doesn't help, maybe you could show us what notifications were 
logged in your Nagios event log?

Subject: Change "Status Information" on status.cgi
Message-ID: <Law14-F683IUoBmFbKd0005c406@hotmail.com>

Hello,

Can I change the output text displayed in "Status Information" for any 
plugin? Or I have to change the source of the plugin?

For instance, put my text "Check Serial2 OK" on "Status Information" instead 
"OK: Serial2 (index 12) is up" which is the standard plugin output.

Thanks,

Raul.

Doing so would require changing the source to the plugin.

Yes, you can monitor netapp, there is a simple perl script attached. (I 
found it on the net)

There are more ways to check youre netapp. snmpget for example.

Has anyone hacked Apan to use check_nrpe?  Seems like it would be relatively
simple but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I will be using my own homebrew

Ralph,

Which version of the plugins are you using? The 1.4alpha release has some
significant changes and includes using a different ps command.

Subject: check tcp garbage output
Message-ID: <1071854777.1682.44.camel@linuxws1.internal.priority-health.com>

This is from the check_tcp plugin running Red Hat ES 3.0.

TCP OK - 0.000 second response time on port 20001
[????????????)???1?9?s??????????F9?r???
[^_??U??VS?] 

/opt/nagios/libexec/check_tcp --version
check_tcp (nagios-plugins 1.4.0alpha1) 1.37

I'm guessing this as something to do with the character set being
en_US.UTF-8, but maybe somebody else has tracked this down already.

Any ideas?

Is there a setting for the verbosity of the Event Log?

I have seen other Nagios event logs and they show
restarts, host/service problems/warnings,
notifications, etc...

My event log is only showing Nagios restarts.

Thanks in advance for any advise!

There are quite a few options in nagios.cfg. Modify them as you see fit
--

[root at gemini etc]# grep log_ nagios.cfg
[some snippage]
log_notifications=1
log_service_retries=0
log_host_retries=0
log_event_handlers=1
log_initial_states=1
log_external_commands=1
log_passive_service_checks=0

Marc,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I just took a look at my nagios.cnf file:

log_notifications=1
log_service_retries=1
log_host_retries=1
log_event_handlers=1
log_initial_states=0
log_external_commands=1
log_passive_service_checks=1

I've been turning services on and off on my machines
and I'm receiving notifications of services problems
and recoveries.  However, clicking on the "Event Log"
link in Nagios displays only restarts:

[12-19-2003 12:50:34] Finished daemonizing... (New
PID=19573)
[12-19-2003 12:50:34] Nagios 1.1 starting...
(PID=19572)
[12-19-2003 12:49:07] Finished daemonizing... (New
PID=19539)
[12-19-2003 12:49:07] Nagios 1.1 starting...
(PID=19538)
[12-19-2003 12:48:17] Finished daemonizing... (New
PID=19490)
.....and so on..... for the rest of the log life.


Thanks again for your help.  I appreciate it.

Jason,

The best thing I have found is to enable WebAccess for each service,
then monitor those ports.  Not the best solution, but works good enough.
BTW the default ports are:
MTA - 7180
POA - 7181
GWIA - 9850

Both of you,

Is there not a way with imonitor and snmp to monitor GW6?

One of the analyst told me something like that a month ago...

I'll be looking at that in about a month, until then, I hope that this can give you some clues...

Jason,

The best thing I have found is to enable WebAccess for each service,
then monitor those ports.  Not the best solution, but works good enough.
BTW the default ports are:
MTA - 7180
POA - 7181
GWIA - 9850

Can it be monitored other than a ping?  I the services shows a printer
status option, but that doesn't work on the Xerox.

Also, really stupid question, but in regard to the notification options
in services, what do the letters mean (w,r,u,c)?

Thanks so much.

Subject: check_nrpe fails, SSL handshake error
Message-ID: <86561AC5-3276-11D8-A60B-0030657DF28A@airmail.net>

Howdy:

I've searched the archives but didn't find a solution to my problem. I  
almost hate to ask this, because it seems very basic, but I just can't  
figure it out.

Here's my situation. Perhaps I'm describing too much, but I figure it's  
better to describe too much than too little if I hope to get a helpful  
reply.

  * * *

I'm trying to set up a simple nagios configuration for the first time.  
I have a central server and a distributed server which should  
communicate with each other using nsca/send_nsca. I have a host to be  
monitored which should communicate with the distributed server using  
nrpe/check_nrpe. This is all on Solaris 9 (SPARC), on both servers and  
the host to be monitored.

It's a "clean" install of Solaris 9 plus the current patch cluster,  
plus the following packages downloaded from sunfreeware.com: freetype,  
gcc, jpeg, libpng, mhash, zlib and openssl. I've downloaded and  
compiled the following programs: gd, libmcrypt, mcrypt, nagios,  
nagios-plugins, nrpe and nsca.

Everything seemed to compile ok using gcc. The packages that depend on  
ssl (or whatever) knew about them at compile time (at least, according  
to the output from the ./configure scripts).

On the host to be monitored, I've installed nrpe and a simple nrpe.cfg  
file, and edited /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services as follows:

/etc/inetd.conf:
nrpe	stream	tcp	nowait	nagios	/usr/sfw/sbin/tcpd	/usr/local/nagios/bin/ 
nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe.cfg -i

/etc/services:
nrpe	5666/tcp	# NRPE (Nagios remote plugin executor)

nrpe.cfg (default file, except for the following):
command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c  
30,25,20

On the distributed server, I've installed the check_nrpe plugin.

  * * *

Ok, here's the problem. When I try to run check_nrpe on the distributed  
server, I get this error:

# ./check_nrpe -H {IP of host to monitor} -c check_load
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

  * * *

What am I missing? What have I left out? (I just know that I'm going to  
say "D'oh!" when someone points out something simple, but I just can't  
see it.)

Thanks,
Michael

You're wrapping nrpe with tcpd. Are you sure that you're allowing
nrpe connections in hosts.allow?

Did you add the remote ip address to the allowed_hosts?

What do you see in syslog on the host running nrpe?

Other than the things I've mentioned above, one other problem 
I had on Tru64 and IRIX was related to seeding openssl's prng.
Does solaris have /dev/u?random? If not, you may need prngd.

hi

it depends on what you want to check
if you only want to check if the database service is running you could use the
check_nt plugin, or the similar deamon check-plugin for linux/unix systems.

for ms-sql you could check alls windows perfomancecounter using the check_nt 
plugin.

for oracle you must use the snmp-mib from oracle.

Subject: Timeouts and check attempts
Message-ID: <1071970765.2301.11.camel@mirage>

I have an interesting problem and I wondering if I have something messed
up in my config to cause this. Ok, here's the situation:

All the plugins for a certain host start timing out
(local/remote[nrpe]). This creates a 'CRITICAL' state. But the catch is,
Nagios only sees it as one attempt being CRITICAL while its been in this
state longer than the retry check should say (for more than 2-5hrs after
the first state change). The interesting thing is, I restart Nagios, and
the check attempts go to the max (for this 3/3), but after a few checks
it goes back to 1/3. This creates a problem where nagios never sends out
a notification.

Is this how Nagios is supposed to handle a check timeout, or do I have
somethign mis-configured?

Thanks,

This is one of the major goals I'm trying to achieve with the
Nagios::Object perl modules (on CPAN).  I just started writing HTML
stuff for it this weekend and will update this list when some of it is
ready.  So far, I'm creating a bunch of widgets that can be lumped back
together easily to create custom layout webpages.   Hopefully, I'll be
able to construct something very much like the existing C CGI's for
Nagios using the perl modules, so it'll run under mod_perl.

My organization also wants what you're asking for - simple pages for
common users and "bricks" they can stick in other informational
webpages.

The (bare) basics of what you need should be almost ready in
Nagios::StatusLog (part of Nagios::Object).  Unfortunately, I haven't
worked the documentation out as well as I'd like yet.

For v1.x, the cgi's have the config file locations defined at compile 
time.  so copying the cgis for a second instance will not work - need to 
recompile and provide new compile time path info.

for v2.x, include's Russell's patch for cgi independence.

I'm having the exact same problem as Michael.  Only I'm running Solaris 8
and no tcp wrappers.
I have also tried runing nrpe without inetd with the same results. My
question to you nrpe gurus is:
Do i need to set the suid bit on nrpe?
And should I see nrpe running in the background on any or all of the
options for running. At present I don't.

Subject: How do folks check DNS for MS AD Domains (SVR records ??) ?
Message-ID: <20031222163051.F4302@IPAustralia.Gov.AU>

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Your comments on checking that a DNS is able to resolve the names used 
by AD logon are very welcome.

Being very ignorant, it seems to me that what is required is to be able 
resolve the SVR resource records that MS domain controllers register in 
a Dynamic DNS.

These records include some of these SVR records at least :-

. _ldap._tcp.<DNSDomainName>

. _ldap._tcp.pdc._ms-dcs.<DNSDomainName>

Of course, this may well be a _dumb_ idea since most name resolution 
tools do not seem to handle SVR records.

(OTOH, the CPAN module Net::DNS may be able to resolve SVR records).

To sum up, the list and certainly I will be very grateful for being 
informed on how folks use Nagios to check MS AD name resolution and if 
in fact it is possible to use check_dns for this purpose.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

Yes, 1.4alpha works fine on an AIX 5.1 box (using GCC).

Subject: CHECK_SNMP - Recalc output - possible?
Message-ID: <OFFF17D111.13B3A3F7-ONC1256E04.0033C52D-C1256E04.00366AA5@intern.topdanmark.dk>

Dear List,

I ask the server (W2K) for different disk space informations via SNMP.


Example:
Disk Size
host.hrStorage.hrStorageTable.hrStorageEntry.hrStorageSize.4 = 42371287

Disk Used
host.hrStorage.hrStorageTable.hrStorageEntry.hrStorageUsed.4 = 24565772

Question:

Is it possible to substract those two outputs - to get the freespace via
the Check_snmp
command or there a way around this?


Thanks for your time.

Thomas

Dear List,


Have anybody seen this before?

[root at localhost plugins]# ./check_snmp server01 -C public -o
.host.hrDevice.hrProcessorTable.hrProcessorEntry.hrProcessorLoad.1
SNMP WARNING - 18
[root at localhost plugins]#


Warning without any threshold ??

I have upgraded to the latest 4.x.x UCD-SNMP version - but still the same.
Also tried the latest plugins...

Does anybody have any solution?

Thanks for your time ...

Thomas

Also check that there aren't too many messages getting sent to NSCA.
We've noticed performace problems when several hundreds of hosts went
down in a test secnario we performed in our lab.

I don't think that it woulud be at all hard to make that addition to the
existing code - in fact, I'm surprised it's not there.

I'll try and add it in the next few days.

   I have more information on this problem: When I check /var/adm/messages I
find:
Network server bind failure (126: connect assign requested address) for the
process nrpe.
So it look like the nrpe daemon never gets started. Any idea who I can fix
this problem?

Do I need to have authentication turn on? I'm using ssl 0.9.7

i have a situation where one of our network legs has one "border" router which 
is a parent to 30+ customer routers

is there a way of placing some kind of smart logic into nagios notify plugins 
so that if the border is unreachable, i will only be paged once for the 
border and not 30+ times for the border and all customers? yet if one of the 
customer routers is unreachable but border is fine, then i want ot be paged 
for that customer router.

Message-ID: <E1AYUtU-0000fC-OR@sc8-sf-mx2.sourceforge.net>

Weird issue: for the last couple of weeks Nagios has not been recording
events in it's database or it's log files. I'm not sure why, but it started
to record things again today. I made a quick change and restarted the
process maybe that refreshed it, but has anyone seen similar behavior?

Subject: Newbie question: Check_http problem
Message-ID: <3185BD746EAA924085DCE1D96330DDA03BBC1C@theatom.covarity.com>

This is my first venture into the Nagios world, and so far I've managed
to install Nagios 1.1, using the 1.3.1 plug-ins, and running on a Debian
3.0 box.

 

As expected, I haven't gotten everything to work on my first try, but I
have managed to configure the software to a point such that I can do a
simple ping check on four boxes, and for it to send out notifications if
it detects anything wrong.

 

My problem is that it seems that Nagios is return a "service down" when
doing check_http request.  I've look at the checkcommands.cfg file, and
it is the default definition:

 

# 'check_http' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check_http

        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$

        }

 

When I run check_http from the command line, using the same options as
listed in the check_http, is says HTTP is ok. I've tried both the
hostname, host ip address, and the url, all of which seem to come
through just fine.

 

Can somebody point me the right direction to go on this one?

More info on this:

I recompiled nrpe with --disable-ssl (on both the monitoring server and 
the host to monitor), and it works fine now. So, it's clearly a problem 
with enabling SSL and nrpe.

The error message I was seeing ("CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not compelte 
SSL Handshake.") is being generated by check_nrpe. It's in the file 
check_nrpe.c, where it attempts to "do SSL handshake" and fails.

I am baffled as to why this is failing, or what I need to do to make it 
work. Supposedly, nrpe is using the "anonymous DH" (ADH) protocol, 
which operates sans certificates; so I would *think* that I don't need 
to do anything with openssl (e.g. create a CA, or server or client 
certificates, or anything like that). So, I'm pretty sure it's a 
problem with how nrpe is implementing SSL, rather than a problem with 
OpenSSL. But, at this point I'm stumped.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Yours,
Michael

Could you remind me what OS you're working with? If you
haven't, I would strongly urge you to check that the PRNG 
is being seeded. This was a problem for me on IRIX 6.5.19 
and Tru64 5.1a. The solution with IRIX was to either upgrade 
to 6.5.22 or make a small hack to openssl.  The solution for 
Tru64 was to install and tell openssl to use an external 
prng source (such as egads or prngd).

As you can see, I haven't installed prng. I'm using the random number  
generator bundled with Solaris, and OpenSSL seemed content with that at  
compile time.

Just so we don't start an "I didn't read your last n-1 messages" loop  
with anyone else, here's the update I posted earlier today:

In short, make your border router the parent of the customer router in
the configs using the parents directive.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/networkreachability.html

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#host

Be sure to remove 'u' from your notification options for the child hosts
or you'll still get paged saying that they're unreachable (as opposed to
down).

i have a situation where one of our network legs has one "border" router
which 
is a parent to 30+ customer routers

is there a way of placing some kind of smart logic into nagios notify
plugins 
so that if the border is unreachable, i will only be paged once for the 
border and not 30+ times for the border and all customers? yet if one of
the 
customer routers is unreachable but border is fine, then i want ot be
paged 
for that customer router.

I was receiving the same error that many on the list are receiving when
running NRPE.

The solution for me was to make sure the /etc/nrpe.cfg is owned and
readable by the nagios user

chown nagios.nagios /etc/nrpe.cfg

Subject: nrpe: fails when check command outputs to stderr
Message-ID: <1072129657.7484.97.camel@pcsimon.ecnnz.ecnetwork.co.nz>

Hi,

I have been having some problems with "check_nrpe" reporting:
  CHECK_NRPE: Response packet had invalid CRC32.

I believe I have located the cause of the problem, which is as
follows...

When the nrpe app forks a child and calls popen(...) to execute the
target command, the STDERR filedescriptor isn't overridden. Therefore if
the target command ever outputs data to STDERR, that goes via the
inherited STDERR: straight back across the socket to the check_nrpe
process! Only *later* does the nrpe process send the packet version,
checksum, and message. The result is obvious: check_nrpe looks for the
checksum but finds only the STDERR output from the check command and so
reports "invalid CRC32".

It should be simple to duplicate this problem: a shellscript which
prints to STDERR should do the trick I think.

I have fixed this by ensuring my (custom) check command suppresses all
STDERR output, but I think it would be nice to fix this in nrpe as the
error message is difficult to understand. Perhaps also an FAQ entry
would be good for this?

If you don't have time to look into this, but would be willing to look
at a patch for nrpe.c then please let me know and I will prepare one.

Thanks for some great software!

Regards,

Simon

I'm glad that your problem was so easy to fix. :-)

However, on my system all the relevant files *are* owned by 
nagios:nagios. Ownership is clearly not an issue, since it works fine 
with SSL disabled; but doesn't work with SSL enabled.

Have you tried running nrpd through truss (I think Solaris has
truss, right?). This might help locate the problem.

Message-ID: <EMEEJGMKKHBDDBJDBPBJKEAPCLAA.jen@oldmilltech.com>

I have read the mailing list and every doc about the extended cgi and I
cannot figure out the solution to my problem.

I have configured nagios --with-template-extinfo and edited the cgi.cfg with
"xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostexinfo.cfg". Here is a
snip from my hostexinfo.cfg:

define hostextinfo{
        host_name aristotle
        icon_image redhat.jpg
        icon_image_alt redhat.gif
        vrml_image redhat.png
        statusmap_image redhat.gd2
}

I have the base logo pak in /usr/local/nagios/images/logos. All this and
statusmap is showing the "?" for each of my hosts. If I point to the logo
directory in my browser it is showing up just fine.

Clearly I am missing something because it simply isn't working. Can someone
please tell me?

Regards,

Jen

Is there anyway to configure Nagios to where a user can log on and view
the status of the services associated with his company, but not allow
him to change anything?.  Like read-only mode.  I have it configured so
that he can only see his devices, but I don't want them changing
anything.

 

Thanks

   I wish my problem was so easy to fix. I recompiled with --disable-ssl
option and it works
a little better.(I tried the permissions issue it didn't help) I am still
getting the following error
in /var/adm/messages:

   Network server bind failure (126: cannot assign requested addres)
This happens when I start start nrpe in daemon mode with:
/usr/bin/nrpe -c /etc/nrpe.cfg -d

nrpe is owned by root and has suid bit set. nrpe.cfg is owned by nagios and
is readable by everyone.

any ideas on this?

Thanks!!

One or more of your MIB files have syntax errors.  if run snmpget on the 
comamndline you can see which ones.

 - fix the files
OR
 - use "-m :" to prevent loading of mib files AND use numeric OIDs

Shouldn't it be /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos ????

My hostextinfo.cfg looks like;

Sounds like you need to configure parent/child dependencies for your
customer routers. See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#host (the
"parents" option).

Yeah, I get exactly the same thing. (Well *almost* exactly the same.  
Mine says "(125: cannot assign requested address)", but otherwise it's  
the same if I try to launch nrpe as a stand-alone daemon. (In my case,  
both nrpe and nrpe.cfg are owned by nagios:nagios, no suid bit set, and  
are readable by everyone.)

It works if I use inetd with tcp wrappers, though, as I described in my  
first message...

> /etc/inetd.conf:
> nrpe	stream	tcp	nowait	nagios	/usr/sfw/sbin/tcpd	/usr/local/nagios/ 
> bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe.cfg -i
>
> /etc/services:
> nrpe	5666/tcp	# NRPE (Nagios remote plugin executor)

...but ONLY if I have SSL disabled (recompiled nrpe with  
--disable-ssl). I plan to deploy this to some sites where the SSL  
security will be critically important. I can continue with my testing  
without it, but sooner or later I've got to fix this link in the chain.

Surely there's someone out there running Solaris who's had a similar  
problem, and figured out how to solve it?

*frustrated*

Michael

Hi,

I don't know if this has already been reported (or
possibly already fixed)

When I click on "Re-schedule the next check of this
host" and then click on "Commit" in the interface, I
get an internal server error...

I also noticed a small typo:

cmd.cgi line 964
printf("<INPUT TYPE='checkbox' NAME=x'force_check'
CHECKED>");

I think that should be:

printf("<INPUT TYPE='checkbox' NAME='force_check'
CHECKED>");

(note the x after NAME=)

Subject: US STOCK MARKET - CYPM Acquisition - To Compete With DISNEY & PIXAR...Jayson
Message-ID: <e$30--0b-$-vay$7zm15@ct89d44.1z.1u>

US Stock Market - Stock Profile of the Week

Symbol: CYPM
Market: OTCBB
Sector: 3D Animation


BREAKING NEWS - CYPM Acquires Profitable Joongang Movie Entertainment...CYPM To Compete With Pixar & Disney

NEW YORK---PRIMEZONE---Cyper Media, Inc. (OTCBB: CYPM), a 3D animation studio currently producing ``The 5th Glacial Epoch,'' a 15 million dollar feature, has acquired Joongang Movie Entertainment Co., Ltd., a producer of animated content for the world-famous Pokemon series. Joongang is a profitable 13-year-old animation company with more than 60 different clients among OEM Japanese TV shows, and which also has numerous clients in Europe.

Duk Jin Jang, CEO of Cyper said, ``Cyper will now be able to offer our combined clients traditional 2D along with 3D animation content, enabling the Company to compete profitably with world class animators such as Pixar and Disney.''



STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK

We are very excited about our newest stock profile, Cyper Media, Inc. (OTCBB: CYPM).  Not only has CYPM received a conditional commitment letter for 4 million of the 15 million dollar production budget for its CGI Animation Feature, "The 5th Glacial Epoch," it has also entered into a commitment for a 5 million dollar advance from an electronic game publisher. The money for its latest venture seems to be pouring in, but mere financing is just the beginning.

The really big news is that CYPM has started the process of getting a distribution contract with MGM, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.  The 4 million dollar commitment letter from Global Marine is subject to a letter of a conditional Distribution Letter from a major distributor, which CYPM has now secured.

Cyper Media  is looking to become a leading producer of 3D digital animation entertainment products for the world broadcast entertainment market.

Cyper Media develops and produces 3D digital animation for television, short films, CGI feature films, home video, music video and multi-media applications such as video games. Cyper Media produces 3D digital animation by applying advanced hardware and software technology using computer systems throughout the production process.



LICENSING & MERCHANDISING RIGHTS

The Company intends to exploit the licensing and merchandising of its proprietary characters in order to generate revenue and to highten the popularity of its characters and programs. By licensing its proprietary characters to select manufacturers and distributors of consumer products such as toys, apparel, school supplies, house wares and books, the Company seeks to capture a portion of the growing licensing and merchandising market which features entertainment properties, such as animated characters.  In 1995, this segment of the merchandising and licensing market had retail sales in the United States and Canada in excess of 16 billion dollars.



OUTLINING THE THE OPPORTUNITIES

The demand for animation programming and the business of animation production have expanded dramatically over the past decade. The revival of Disney's feature animation production in the 1990s, and the advent of new entrants like Paramount and DreamWorks SKG, have produced some of the biggest ever box office hits.

The television market has also expanded, offering producers a voracious and lucrative market. Thanks to programs like The Simpsons and South Park, animation has started to become a staple element of prime-time television programming.  Animation is an attractive investment because of its longevity, its ability to travel, and the potential to create ancillary revenue streams from home video, publishing, toys and other licensing activities.

As well, the Academy Awards now recognizes Animation in a major category all its own.



COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT

Typically a US made 22-minute television show costs between 300,000 to 800,000 dollars to produce.  Cyper can produce the same for a minimum of 80,000.  This means many U.S.-based producers of animated programming such as Film Roman now have to subcontract some of the less creative and more labor-intensive components of its production process to animation studios located in low-cost labor countries, such as Korea. As the number of animated feature films and animated television programs expands, the demand for the services of overseas studios has expanded likewise. This demand may lead overseas studios to raise their fees, which may result in a rise in production costs, or an inability to contract with the Company's preferred overseas studios.



HOW MUCH MONEY IS IN THIS INDUSTRY?

The list of Top Ten grossing animated movies is impressive.  The Lion King is at number one with a total gross of 312.8 million dollars.  Shrek brings up second place with a whopping 267.6 million, and Monsters, Inc. takes third with 255.3 million.  The other seven rounding out the list post an impressive Billion-plus.

But the most recent animated feature that comes to mind is playing in theaters now.  "Finding Nemo," sold about 70.6 million worth of tickets in its first three days, setting a new opening record for a cartoon, surpassing the 62.5 million bow of "Monsters, Inc." in November 2001. And although Nemo is a Walt Disney production, Disney no longer has a monopoly on animated features.  In fact, of the Top 10 grossing animated features of all time, 4 are Walt Disney productions while Pixar, a newcomer in comparison, also has 4, with Fox and DreamWorks rounding out the list.

But earnings for such movies don't stop at the box office.  Just the opposite--they are only beginning.  Merchandising from these movies, everything from lunch boxes to video games to DVD sales, from Wal-mart to McDonald's to Burger King, range in the billions of dollars--and never forget about the impending sequels.  Sales are huge, and CYPM through Cyper (now with financing on the way and MGM on their side) is poised to make the climb to the top.  It's only a matter of time.

Oops. That was from memory last night, and not exactly right. Here's 
the actual line from my system's /var/adm/messages, after an attempt to 
launch nrpe this morning:
-----
Dec 23 08:54:13 {hostname} nrpe[2739]: [ID 434846 daemon.error] Network 
server bind failure (125: Address already in use)
-----

A small difference, but nevertheless...

Since I haven't seen anyone else mention it, I'll toss this out...
Have you checked whether another process has a socket bound to
the nrpe port? You can use netstat to check. I don't have access
to a solaris system, but on linux the command might look like:


  netstat -a | grep LISTEN

Subject: ADD_SERVICE_ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ??
Message-ID: <20031223103552.GA12441@homer.cymry.org>

lo all, and forgive me if this has been asked before, my searches imply that it has
not. 

I had been wondering if there was an external command to add service and host
acknowledgments via the external commands file, I assumed there must be since the cgi's
could do it, but it wasn't documented in the External Commands section of the
documentation.  To be fair the document does say "This is a description of the some of
the external commands which have been implemented in Nagios", /some/ being the
operative word there.  

I was able to get what I wanted by tail -f'ing the external command file while manually
acknowledging a service problem from the web front end, but I was hoping there was a
more comprehensive list of external command syntax available somewhere. Anyone have any
idea if there is?  I suppose one could be grepped from the source.. Anyone done this
and can save me the trouble?

Thanks.

Yes, I've done that. (For what it's worth, I'm a Sun Certified System 
Engineer. In theory, I'm supposed to think of things like that. *grin*) 
The syntax is the same on Solaris. There's no other process bound to 
that port. I am completely at a loss.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Another set of eyes looking at the 
problem is always welcome.

Besides, that's just an ancillary problem. I don't actually want to run 
nrpe as a stand-alone daemon. What I want is to run it through inetd 
with tcp wrappers (which is working) and with SSL (which is *not* 
working). *That* is the problem I'm trying to solve.

Grepping through the sources is probably the only way to find all of
them.  I've got a decent list in Nagios::Cmd, but it may not be
exhaustive.

Message-ID: <20031223180825.23112.qmail@minnow.softflare.net>


I downloaded the cook extra icons and found that the gd2s in that package
would not display in the status map.  After a lot of digging I finally 
found the answer.  The internal format of gd2 changes from time to time
and one version of the gd libraries may not be able to cope with the
format create by another version.  The answer to this problem is to
convert the pngs on the system running Nagios.

That leads to the next problem.  The usage of pngtogd2 has changed from
that implied in the FAQ.  It is now:

    pngtogd2 in.png out.gd2 cs fmt

where cs is the chunk size (can be 0 to 4096 and makes no difference on
file
size for typical Nagios images) and fmt is 1 for raw or 2 for compressed.
So a typical invocation for use with Nagios would be:

    pngtogd2 in.png out.gd2 0 1

The pngtogd2 usage that you mention below is exactly what was used to
create the gd2 icons. However, I was unaware of the possible issues
associated with creating them on a different box than that which they
are used on. Perhaps if/when I update these in the future I should leave
out the gd2s and add a text file with instructions on converting them...
Thanks for the heads up, I hope you get good use out of the icons.

Subject: Premature end of headers with user-supplied coods and statusmap.cgi
Message-ID: <20031223183147.31102.qmail@minnow.softflare.net>


Nagios 1.1 on a Red Hat 7.3 box.  Lots of hosts, so I wanted to switch to
user-supplied coords to prevent the overlaps in circular markup.

So I defined 2d_coords for each host, x and y values range from 0 to 400
(all integers) with no two hosts having the same co-ordinate pairs.  E.g.,

    2d_coords        200,0

Since I saw some examples on the mailing list with a space after the comma
I have tried this both ways where the is no space after the comma for
any host and where there is always a space after the comma. Same result.

When I select the user-supplied coords layout I get a 500 internal server 
error.  Theerror log says "premature end of script errors" (that's the only
error log entry associated with the problem) which usually means that 
statusmap.cgi has blurted something to STDOUT or STDERR before the end of 
the MIME headers.

So I tried running it from the command-line and learned I had to set
REQUEST_METHOD to GET and QUERY_STRING as appropriate.  Which I did.
To my surprise, the appropriate headers were output correctly and so
was some of the HTML, going a little beyond the <body> tag.  The
last line output is as follows (except I've wrapped the line where
there was a blank space present):

   <div id="popup" style="position:absolute; zindex:1; visibility:
   hidden"></div>

And after that line is output there is a segmentation fault.  With no
clues as to why.

I've seen a couple of other reports of problems with user-supplied coords
but I've not seen any answers.  However, the other reports did not mention
the segmentation fault, so perhaps that will give somebody a clue.

In the meantime, I'll have to live with balanced tree layout, which would
actually be much better than the hassle of user-supplied co-ords but for
one thing.  With the number of hosts I'm monitoring, there's a lot of
sideways scrolling involved.  Rotating the coords by 90 degrees would
convert that to vertical scrolling (at the minute I have some hosts
that are gr5andchildren but it goes no deeper so I won't get sideways
scrolling).  Vertical scrolling is a lot easier: you can use the arrow
keys; you can use the page-up/down keys; you can use the mousewheel if
you want to develop carpal tunnel syndrome; if you're a real masochist you
can even click on the scrollbars.  Sideways scrolling is a pain because
you don't have the equivalent of page-up/down keys.

So would anyone else be in favour of a feature request to rotate (possibly 
as an option) the output of the tree layouts?

Note that every other layout method works perfectly.

I think a readme would be a good idea whether you include the gd2s or
not.  I'm not sure if it's better to omit the gd2s or include them.
If you include them, they may work out of the box for many people and
the readme then says "If these don't display then..."  If you omit them
then everyone has the hassle of converting but you reduce the number
of questions to the list about "the gd2s aren't displaying."

     Hi, I tried the netstat -a | grep LISTEN and had one entry (*.nrpe) as
LISTEN and three
as TIME_WAIT.  Does this seem normal?  The other issue that I thought about
was:
I am running these programs on two different subnets, is this a problem?

Hi,

When there is no more info on the module, then I'll turn to "truss" on Solaris and run the same command line but with truss to see what exactly the module is doing and what kind of internal roll-o-coaster it traverses.

That should shed more light on the issue.

Regards,
Patrick Soltani.

Subject: Service binding through hostgroup negation
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.53.0312231417190.24685@sibelius.chartermi.net>

Hi Folks:

I'm new to nagios, but have been using Netsaint for years, and I'm now
moving all of my configs to the template format (which is very nice).  In
my configs I basically assign hosts to hostgroups, and then bind the
service to that hostgroup.  In some circumstances I have exceptions in
which it would seem the best way to account for the exceptions would be to 
have a hostgroup definition inclusive of the exceptions and than to negate 
those members via their hostgroup membership.

An example.

service does_proxy
hostgroup_name	hostgroup_all

service does_proxy+smtp
hostgroup_name	hostgroup_all!hostgroup_proxy_only

In other words the does_proxy service includes all hosts as members.   The 
service does_proxy+smtp would include all hosts as members, except the 
exceptions listed in hostgroup_proxy_only

Is it possible?   If it isn't possible would it be possible to add it in a 
future release?   

Thanks,

Brian Seppanen

I run a pair of Nagios boxes in a distributed environment and my CGIs are
getting unbearably slow.  Does anymore have any ideas on how to speed them
up?

Thanks.

I tried truss while running in daemon mode and got lots of output. However,
I don't
know how to interpret that output.  I also got nothing returned when I do a
"netstat -a | grep -i nrpe ",and different results when I changed the
ownership on nrpe.cfg from root to nagios. How would I run truss with an
inetd process?  Can I?

You can run truss against a running process by specifying the "process ID".  Do a "man truss" and you'll have more switches than you would like to know ;-).  

Usually truss -all does most of the work.
You are looking for entries such as ENOTTY; (Error NO tty) which will tell you what the program was trying to do and couldn't.  You need to check each one and figure out the behavior. Err#9 EBADF which usually means Error BAD File handle or file, so on forth.

If you are running the module out of inetd, then the process will be active when a request for the module comes in thru the port specified at conf file. Only then you'll see the process.

Regards,
Patrick Soltani.

Subject: Apparently incomplete contents of log files
Message-ID: <16360.45451.591601.419513@montanaro.dyndns.org>


I'm attempting to do my own log file analysis for some quarterly reports our
management wants and am confused by what I see in the archived logs and what
nagios reports on-screen.  Consider one host here, almamater.  Looking at
the lines in the log file related to it on September 25th I see:

    [1064438580] Warning: Return code of 139 for check of service 'PING' on host 'almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu' was out of bounds.
    [1064438580] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;1;(No output!)
    [1064438580] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;2;(No output!)
    [1064438580] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;3;(No output!)
    [1064438581] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;4;(No output!)
    [1064438581] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;5;(No output!)
    [1064438581] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;6;(No output!)
    [1064438581] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;7;(No output!)
    [1064438581] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;8;(No output!)
    [1064438581] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;SOFT;9;(No output!)
    [1064438581] HOST ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;HARD;10;(No output!)
    [1064438581] HOST NOTIFICATION: donh;almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;(No output!)
    [1064438581] SERVICE ALERT: almamater.itcs.northwestern.edu;PING;CRITICAL;HARD;1;(Return code of 139 is out of bounds)

That's all well and good, but note the last HOST ALERT line.  At that point,
the host is DOWN/HARD and the system engineer is notified.  Looking at more
recent logs I never see a state change back to UP (or any other state), but
the machine is clearly up and nagios reports it as up.  Here's the info
Nagios displays on-screen about that particular alert:

    2003-09-24T16:23:01 2003-09-24T16:25:56 0d 0h 2m 55s HOST DOWN (No output!)

There is *nothing* in that log file or any other more recent log file to
show that the machine came back up.  Interestingly enough, nagios itself was
restarted at 16:25:56 then restarted a bit later:

    ...
    [1064438756] Caught SIGTERM, shutting down...
    [1064438756] Successfully shutdown... (PID=22201)
    [1064438756] Successfully shutdown... (PID=22201)
    [1064439292] Nagios 1.1 starting... (PID=14981)
    [1064439292] Warning: Host 'csd.soc.northwestern.edu' is not a member of any host groups!
    ...

Is nagios failing to write a record to the log file after its first check
which indicates the machine/service is up?  If so, how does it calculate the
2m 55s duration of the outage?

Thx,

Subject: check_process.wsf return errors
Message-ID: <001101c3c99e$e17b5d40$140a0a0a@headquarters.uui.com>

Hello everyone,

 

Wish you all have a wonderful Christmas 

 

I'm facing a problem with check_process.wsf plug in here, can any one
point me out the problem is?

On it returns status on Nagios:

 

D:\NRPE_NT\check_process.wsf(117, 2) (null): Invalid syntax

 

The full command on nrpe.cfg is:

 

command[check_recclient]=c:\winnt\system32\cscript.exe //NoLogo //T:10
D:\NRPE_NT\check_process.wsf recclient.exe

 

This command works just find on other host.

 

I'm appreciate for your help,

Phu Nguyen.

Subject: Performance Monitoring in Nagios
Message-ID: <3185BD746EAA924085DCE1D96330DDA03BBC66@theatom.covarity.com>

Again, the prerequisite information: nagios 1.1, plug-ins 1.3.1, running
on Debian 3.0

Can anyone point me towards a realistic way of monitoring performance
data and trend-lining with Nagios?  I know that Nagios can do gather
some performance monitoring data (as per
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/perfdata.html), but from what I
see, it leaves it up to you what to do with the data.

The situation that I'm currently in is that I want to watch some
standard performance counters on several Microsoft boxes, like memory
usage, CPU usage, free disk space, etc, and then trend it over time.
While it is nice to know that, for example, I'm still below on my disk
space warning value at any one particular snapshot, but it would be even
more valuable to compile those snapshots and watch the disk consumption
over time, and then possibly trend-line the data.

I know that there is the "Trends" reports within Nagios, but it doesn't
quite fit the bill as I need to know more than for how long is the
service "ok" versus "warning" versus "critical".

Again, the Nagios documentation alluded to doing something like what I
mentioned above (the doc says "you could setup an occassional cron job
to process the entries in those files, squash them using rrdtool, dump
them into a database, produce graphs, whatever..."), yet did not come
out and say "to make your life easy, I recommend using the XYZ package."

Does anyone have any experience in this, and would be willing to share
their knowledge with me? Unfortunately, just "whipping up an app" to do
this isn't plausible as my programming/scripting abilities are just
slightly better than Forest Gump's.

Yes. I faced that problem during the configuration but I changed my
definitions to the ones below and they work at least for me. I am
running check_ircd (nagios-plugins 1.3.0) 1.3 You may want to take a
look at them. 

# 'check_ircd' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_ircd
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ircd -H $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$
-c $ARG4$
        }

# 'check_ircd' service definition
define service{
        use                             web-distributed-service
        host_name                       sc-office-luke

Try running nrpe in daemon mode through truss again, this time
pass the -f option (I think that's the one to trace children as
well).

As for tracing through inetd, it will be messy on a busy system.
But it is possible... figure out the PID of inetd and then attach
truss to that process (i think it's -p PID). Make sure you specify
the -f (or whatever) to trace children. You'll get a lot of output
to wade through, but maybe it'll help.

In the trace below, the only think I see suspicious are the calls
to fstat(-1, ...). Not really sure where that's coming from. But
it would be nice to see the trace of the children after the fork.

I'll be glad to look at the truss output, problem is I'm going 
out of town till Sunday. :)

I'm using RRD for awhile now ... it's quite clean and works perfectly.

This is how my scripts works :
- I've seted up an event handler that's called everytime a check is 
finished (yes, on every services that are actively checked)
- This scripts checks that returned status is OK and parse the information 
returned by the nagios plugin (ie %tage of use for a DISK service, counter 
for an ethernet card gathered with SNMP, ...)
- Then, he put this value in an RRD database

Thenafter, i've just seted up some services & hosts extended info links 
that points to RRD graphs

you might want to take a look at www.rrdtool.org :)


See you

Subject: regular scheduled maintenance
Message-ID: <20031224113321.GB10665@magicbluesmoke.net>

 I've nagios setup to email me when stuff goes down.

 One server, a win2k webserver is restarted around 02:00 every day, so
it'll be vaugely stable during the day. Is there anyway of telling nagios
not to mail me then ?

 Can I use cron to set "don't notify" and "now notify again" for that
particular server ?

John

US Stock Market - Stock Profile of the Week

Symbol: CYPM
Market: OTCBB
Sector: 3D Animation


BREAKING NEWS - CYPM Acquires Profitable Joongang Movie Entertainment...CYPM To Compete With Pixar & Disney

NEW YORK---PRIMEZONE---Cyper Media, Inc. (OTCBB: CYPM), a 3D animation studio currently producing ``The 5th Glacial Epoch,'' 

a 15 million dollar feature, has acquired Joongang Movie Entertainment Co., Ltd., a producer of animated content for the 

world-famous Pokemon series. Joongang is a profitable 13-year-old animation company with more than 60 different clients among 

OEM Japanese TV shows, and which also has numerous clients in Europe.

Duk Jin Jang, CEO of Cyper said, ``Cyper will now be able to offer our combined clients traditional 2D along with 3D 

animation content, enabling the Company to compete profitably with world class animators such as Pixar and Disney.''



STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK

We are very excited about our newest stock profile, Cyper Media, Inc. (OTCBB: CYPM).  Not only has CYPM received a 

conditional commitment letter for 4 million of the 15 million dollar production budget for its CGI Animation Feature, "The 

5th Glacial Epoch," it has also entered into a commitment for a 5 million dollar advance from an electronic game publisher. 

The money for its latest venture seems to be pouring in, but mere financing is just the beginning.

The really big news is that CYPM has started the process of getting a distribution contract with MGM, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.  

The 4 million dollar commitment letter from Global Marine is subject to a letter of a conditional Distribution Letter from a 

major distributor, which CYPM has now secured.

Cyper Media  is looking to become a leading producer of 3D digital animation entertainment products for the world broadcast 

entertainment market.

Cyper Media develops and produces 3D digital animation for television, short films, CGI feature films, home video, music 

video and multi-media applications such as video games. Cyper Media produces 3D digital animation by applying advanced 

hardware and software technology using computer systems throughout the production process.



LICENSING & MERCHANDISING RIGHTS

The Company intends to exploit the licensing and merchandising of its proprietary characters in order to generate revenue and 

to highten the popularity of its characters and programs. By licensing its proprietary characters to select manufacturers and 

distributors of consumer products such as toys, apparel, school supplies, house wares and books, the Company seeks to capture 

a portion of the growing licensing and merchandising market which features entertainment properties, such as animated 

characters.  In 1995, this segment of the merchandising and licensing market had retail sales in the United States and Canada 

in excess of 16 billion dollars.



OUTLINING THE THE OPPORTUNITIES

The demand for animation programming and the business of animation production have expanded dramatically over the past 

decade. The revival of Disney's feature animation production in the 1990s, and the advent of new entrants like Paramount and 

DreamWorks SKG, have produced some of the biggest ever box office hits.

The television market has also expanded, offering producers a voracious and lucrative market. Thanks to programs like The 

Simpsons and South Park, animation has started to become a staple element of prime-time television programming.  Animation is 

an attractive investment because of its longevity, its ability to travel, and the potential to create ancillary revenue 

streams from home video, publishing, toys and other licensing activities.

As well, the Academy Awards now recognizes Animation in a major category all its own.



COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT

Typically a US made 22-minute television show costs between 300,000 to 800,000 dollars to produce.  Cyper can produce the 

same for a minimum of 80,000.  This means many U.S.-based producers of animated programming such as Film Roman now have to 

subcontract some of the less creative and more labor-intensive components of its production process to animation studios 

located in low-cost labor countries, such as Korea. As the number of animated feature films and animated television programs 

expands, the demand for the services of overseas studios has expanded likewise. This demand may lead overseas studios to 

raise their fees, which may result in a rise in production costs, or an inability to contract with the Company's preferred 

overseas studios.



HOW MUCH MONEY IS IN THIS INDUSTRY?

The list of Top Ten grossing animated movies is impressive.  The Lion King is at number one with a total gross of 312.8 

million dollars.  Shrek brings up second place with a whopping 267.6 million, and Monsters, Inc. takes third with 255.3 

million.  The other seven rounding out the list post an impressive Billion-plus.

But the most recent animated feature that comes to mind is playing in theaters now.  "Finding Nemo," sold about 70.6 million 

worth of tickets in its first three days, setting a new opening record for a cartoon, surpassing the 62.5 million bow of 

"Monsters, Inc." in November 2001. And although Nemo is a Walt Disney production, Disney no longer has a monopoly on animated 

features.  In fact, of the Top 10 grossing animated features of all time, 4 are Walt Disney productions while Pixar, a 

newcomer in comparison, also has 4, with Fox and DreamWorks rounding out the list.

But earnings for such movies don't stop at the box office.  Just the opposite--they are only beginning.  Merchandising from 

these movies, everything from lunch boxes to video games to DVD sales, from Wal-mart to McDonald's to Burger King, range in 

the billions of dollars--and never forget about the impending sequels.  Sales are huge, and CYPM through Cyper (now with 

financing on the way and MGM on their side) is poised to make the climb to the top.  It's only a matter of time.

Message-ID: <sfe951f4.034@SMTP2.ODJFS.STATE.OH.US>

I have noticed a couple things about Nagios that don't seem to make sense.  Perhaps I'm just missing something and someone could shed some light.

When I look under 'Service Detail' I have many devices that have their service notifications disabled by default.  I have notifications_enabled set to 1 on all service definitions in the services.cfg file.  The only way I can get them turned on is if I drill down each one and click 'Enable notifications for this service'.  This will take forever as I have 1100 devices in the database.  My settings for service notifications is [w,u,c,r].  Why is this?

Also, I had a device go down last night and no notification was sent.  Nagios says it was down for over 30 min, but nothing was sent.  I have service notification enabled for an oracle port but host notifications turned off.  Is it possible that if the host goes down and you have host notification turned off that it will take precedence over any service notifications and not send them?  That is the only thing I can figure.

the following cron line should work

58 1 * * *  root  echo "`date '+%s'`;DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS;win2kserver"
>> /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

that presupposes:
1. that you have external command checks enabled (see the docs)
2. that your external commands file is in /usr/local/nagios/var/rw (see the docs)
3. that your server is called "win2kserver"

Most people are going to tell you that they use rrdtool.  rrd is what most admins will
use because it pretty closely follows unix sysadmin philosphy in general. You don't
have to be a programmer, you just have to not be afraid of multi-line commands. You're
already using nagios on linux, so if you've gotten that working, you should have the
tools necessary to get rrdtool working as well.  

There is an addon available which marries rrdtool to nagios called APAN. I've
personally never used it, and most sysadmins probably haven't because rrd is easy
enough to deal with on it's own, and APAN would probably just get in the way, but it
might be usefull to you if you've never used rrd, and don't have preffered way of
working with rrd yet.  

The only caveat really is that although nagios supports performance data, most of the
plugins don't return perfomance data themselves. This is easy enough to remedy by
writing a wrapper around whatever plugins you want to get perf data from.  Yeah I know
that sounds fancy but it isn't.  First read
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/perfdata.html
and realize that all a plugin needs to do is return it's normal output followed by a
pipe character followed by it's normal output again, and presto it now has perf data
support.  A wrapper for check_ping which gives perf data would look like:

#!/bin/sh
$foo=`/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping $@`
$return=$?
echo "$foo | $foo"
exit $return

Hope that helps.

I have this same issue with hosts and services that I have notifications
turned on in the config files for the host/services but they show in the web
interface that they are turned off.  They were once off but if you turn them
on after the fact the only way to turn them back on is via the web
interface.  I have 5000+ services (distributed system) and I can do it
through the web (it takes too long)

I have $100 (payable via paypal) for anyone who can solve this problem for
me.

Thanks.

Ric.

The latest release of nagiosplug (1.4alpha) includes more performance data,
but is currently in a proprietary format. The plan is to create a tool which
can then extract the perfdata and draw graphs, but that part has not been

Hmm.. there are a bunch of filters around notification in nagios, so there are a bunch  
of places your notifications could be getting filtered.. so for the oracle problem,
from
+top to bottom i'd probably check that:

That the host is not in a period of scheduled downtime
that flap detection is disabled
that there is a valid notification_period value on the host AND the service, and that
+the service was down in that period
that the notification_options (w,u,c,r) are the same for each contact in the contact
group which should be notified
that there is a valid notification_period value for each contact in the contact group,
and that the service was down in that period.

from what I understand host and service notifications are an either/or proposition.
Having host notifications off, shouldn't disable service notifications. My
understanding is based on my interpretation of
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html
and I could very well be wrong. You should probably read it for yourself.

As far as 'Service Detail' having different settings than your config files, that
sounds to me like it could have something to do with state retention.  the
notifications_enabled directive is one that relies on state retention. I'd read up on
state retention at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html . Then I'd
probably disable it, and restart nagios.

Alternatively, you could use the external commands file to change notifications_enabled
for all services in a batch manner.

Something like for i in `cat listOfhosts`; do echo "`date '+%s'`

It's probably state retention. notifications_enabled uses the state retention file
rather than the services.cfg if you have state retention enabled. I'd disable it and
restart nagios.

The way you fix this is this:

1. edit nagios.cfg and change use_retained_program_state=1 to
use_retained_program_state=0
2. restart nagios (use the web interface)
3. change use_retained_program_state back to '1'
4. restart nagios again.

(the other "fixit" post was close, but wrong :))

Then, if you *want* a given service 'off', and then have to restart,
it'll turn back on.

Think 4am power outage on a holiday weekend. *grin*

state retention is handy because nagios can remember the state a host or service was
last in when a restart happens. You should leave it on.  Don't take our word for it
please.  Check out
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#retain_state_information

and for the record telling them that the problem was "probably state retention" was not wrong.

heh.

Assunto: [Nagios-users] status.log file syntax



Does anyone know where I can find the syntax of the status.log file for
hosts and services?

The entries look like:

HOST: SERVER123;0;1072267556;1;2550291;0;0;0;0;1;1;0;1;1;1;1069718911;(Host
assumed to be up)

SERVICE:
SERVER123;PING;0;1072274440;1;2553685;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;1;1;0;1;1;1;1;1071538002
;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA= 0.61 ms

Thanks.

 

Ric.

That did not seem to work.  Do I need to completely stop nagios, delete the
existing status file and start it back up again?  This is a huge deal b/c it
has to go back through all of the hosts/services as new and it takes hours
to catch up.  

Thanks.

Then, if you *want* a given service 'off', and then have to restart,
it'll turn back on.

Think 4am power outage on a holiday weekend. *grin*

Hrm.

I'm not sure why it's not working for you - I did this same procedure
when I needed to 'clear' my services.

Perhaps I also had to set retain_state_information=0...  (it's been a
while)

Jeff,

I tried your steps, but nothing changed.  Although I changed the use_retained_program_state to 0, when I restarted Nagios it automatically changed it back to 1.  Any idea why?  It's possessed!

The way you fix this is this:

1. edit nagios.cfg and change use_retained_program_state=1 to
use_retained_program_state=0
2. restart nagios (use the web interface)
3. change use_retained_program_state back to '1'
4. restart nagios again.

(the other "fixit" post was close, but wrong :))

thats...curious.  You're sure you saved the config after changing it?

Change it, then do `grep use_retained_program_state nagios.cfg` and make
sure it's what you set it to before restarting.

Hello!

	I am supplying two-dimesional coordinates for my hosts to use it in status 
map. Works fine, but "Nagios process" icon disappeared. How to show it up in 
given place? I suspect i need to set up a hostextinfo for specific hostname, 
but nagios does not work.

I had to stop the Nagios service and delete the status.sav file and then
restart it for everything to clear out. 

So for now I am going to leave 'use_retained_program_state=0' and see what
happens.

Thanks.

thats...curious.  You're sure you saved the config after changing it?

Change it, then do `grep use_retained_program_state nagios.cfg` and make
sure it's what you set it to before restarting.

Subject: Trends reporting
Message-ID: <1072458495.12765.12.camel@nocstation3.chilitech.net>

I have tried to understand the whole meaning of the trend report. I get
it for the most part but there are some things that I cannot understand.
I have RTFM and searched the forums but I cannot find a good description
of all of the options shown. In particularly, where there are gaps of
neither red nor green but only white? I tried to correlate this with an
availability report but I can see no correlation. Can anyone shed some
light on this for me. 

Thanks!

Subject: Seeking Help Compiling Nagios 1.1 with MySql 4.0.17 max on Solaris 8
Message-ID: <122720030805.29152.1e49@att.net>

Please forgive for the length of this email....

While I have seen this topic adddresed I have searched the archives and have
not found a solution to this issue.

I can configure and compile NAGIOS 1.1 fine without MySql support. But when I
attempt to configure and compile with MySql Support I get the error claiming
that the following....

../xdata/xrddb.c:41:25: mysql/mysql.h: No such file or directory
../xdata/xrddb.c:42:26: mysql/errmsg.h: No such file or directory
../xdata/xrddb.c:59: error: parse error before "xrddb_mysql"
../xdata/xrddb.c:59: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
../xdata/xrddb.c: In function `xrddb_read_program_information':
../xdata/xrddb.c:823: error: `MYSQL_RES' undeclar....

and on....

The interesting thing is that even though I use the proper configure
directives the configure will not work unless i have
/usr/local/mysql/lib:/use/local/mysql/include in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I have attached output from each step and included my environment.

I have installed the Binary from the MySQl site, 4.0.17 max.
 all of the "missing files" are on the file system as part of the install...i
have tried numerous permutations of file/path in the configure invocation and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to no avail..

I am at a dead end...

Any help would be most appreciated.

Subject: 1 problem,  2 questions
Message-ID: <20031227135317.30322.qmail@mail.com>

Hiya.

I have just installed nagios 1.1 stable on a Fedora Core 1 server.  The installations seemed to be pretty painless,  and I had a previous isntallation's config files that I could basically just plonk into my ~/etc/ and away i'd go.  Initially I did forget that I needed to set up .htaccess on the folder to allow the cgi stuff to work,  and when I did that I thought I would have no more troubles.  Unfortunately,   I still get exactly the same authorization errors as if I had not set up a .htaccess and htpasswd.users file.

What I am doing wrong?

I put the relevent entries into the httpd.conf file in a VirtHost bracket like this



<VirtualHost 222.111.222.98>
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>


Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
    Options None
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


I have a second nagios server set up this way that works perfectly,  so I am curious as to what I may have overlooked.   I turned off the authentication requiremnet, and it logged me in great. 

This leads me to my next question,  however.   Has anyone out there set up a VirtHost bracket like the above that will translate nagios.domain.name to the same site as 127.0.0.1/nagios/   ?  I want to put this onto a server which is shared over several services that are all competing for limited addresses.

Finally,   I have set up an SMS notification method using gnokii (which works fabulously,  just in case anyone is curious!).  What I am keen on doing from the web interface is testing out my new notification method.  Is this something that is available,   a button to push that will send a test notification..?

regards,

nemir

Subject: Plugins and other utilities
Message-ID: <1072542231.6390.148.camel@localhost>

Hi all, 

I am working on creating a database of plugins and other utilities. 
This database will hopefully bring together all the contributions to our
favorite monitoring program.

My question, what information would you consider necessary to make the
database userfull?

The obvious are Plugin Name, Plugin Description, Link.
Author and version could also be.  Version would require the ability of
the author to update it.  I am learning everything that is required as I
go so I do not know how hard that will be.

There will be the ability to submit plugins for inclusion into the
database.  I want this to be a really useful tool for the users of
Nagios.

Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Chris Hammond

One things that bit me was that my webserver user ("apache") did not 
have access rights to the nagios directories. I suggest you try doing
"su" to your webserver user and checking the files are accessable.

Or maybe it's only me who's dumb enough to stumble over that one :-)

I presume you've checked the webserver logs too?

Subject: after net-snmp update, connection refused by check_snmpp
Message-ID: <3FEF96F1.3040007@peaknetworks.com>

All,

Apparently net-snmp was updated this last weekend due to security issues 
with previous releases older than 5.0.9.  We are now having issues with 
check_snmpp returning an error that the host is refusing the connection:

[root at netmon libexec]# ./check_snmpp -H 65.87.6.15 -o 
1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.1.7.1.0 -C filtered1
Connection refused by host
Connection refused by host
Connection refused by host
Connection refused by host
Connection refused by host
SNMP problem - No data recieved from proxy

I can successfully use snmpget or snmpwalk with the above information 
and get an answer.  Any ideas?

Chris

Subject: 'Fixing' scheduling of service checks
Message-ID: <1072696332.4194.5.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Post-Christmas greetings to everyone.

I run several reference FTP downloads hourly (using a custom-written
Apan check) over a satelite link.  It is important that these do not all
occur at same time, as they would give false results as they would be
sharing bandwidth.  I frequently reschedule the checks so they occur at
nice intervals, but anytime nagios gets restarted, I have to do it all
over again.  And I also find that after a while the scheduling will
'drift' enough for some of them to happen simultaneously.  Also if the
link goes down Nagios goes into a flat spin trying to do all the checks,
and the scheduling gets screwed up.

So what would anyone suggest as the best way to solve this? A daily cron
job to reschedule the checks via the external command file?

thanks

Before we begin our profile we have very exciting, breaking news...

Renowned Satellite Industry Expert Dr. Arthur R. Tilford Joins MB Tech


BREAKING NEWS - (PRIMEZONE) - MB Tech, Inc. (OTC.BB: MBTT) announces that Dr. Arthur R. Tilford, formerly with Hughes Electronics (NYSE: GMH), has been retained by the Company to provide technical consulting and advisory services.

Tilford is an aerospace industry veteran responsible for a total of 11 patents and patent applications within the field, having received Hughes' Chairman's Award for DirecDuo, solo engineering efforts in 1997. He is an expert system designer and Federal Licensing and Certifying Engineer. He has authored several books, including Satellite Fieldbook Quarterly(c) -- Hughes S&C, CA, the contents of which describe all parameters of every C/Ku band geo-satellite in the world and the over 400 page Satellite Workbook(c) for use in satellite engineering classes, taught by him, at the California State University (CSUF at CSULB).

Tilford worked with Netune Communications, where he was responsible for providing transponder allocations, domestic and international link-budget calculations for narrow to very-wide-band satellite system and writing, calculating and applying for FCC and RA transmit licenses.

He also assigned parameters for RF sub-system design and is an expert in radiation hazard compliance.

Hanwook Bae, President of MB Tech, commented, ``The importance of Dr. Tilford joining the Company cannot be underestimated. He is an industry leader with numerous patents relating to antenna design and an immense knowledge of the satellite Internet market. His incredible technical knowledge will allow us to dramatically step up our new initiatives, catapulting us to the forefront of our industry.'' He added, ``This is yet another positive step forward in the overall paradigm shift for the Company. We have moved from being a manufacturer of satellite components, to a Company that will lead the consumer satellite electronics industry.''




STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK

MB Tech is a global manufacturer and distributor of satellite components. The primary product MB Tech produces is "LNB" (Low-Noise Blockdown) converters, which are the essential element enabling DBS satellites to receive and convert satellite transmission signals. MB Tech currently serves the satellite television market, and is expanding to serve the satellite radio and military hardware sectors. MB Tech manufactures several proprietary LNB solutions that differentiate it from competitors. MB Tech's product line includes a dual-horn LNB which allows multiple set-top boxes to be connected to a single satellite dish, enabling viewing of multiple channels simultaneously on different television monitors, and a tri-horn LNB, which provides the ability to download signals from multiple satellites over a single dish.



TECHNOLOGY

MB Tech has improved on conventional designs and can manufacture units more efficiently and less expensively than the competition. MB Tech specializes in LNB electronics, it is the ONLY thing we do.
 
 
An LNB converter transforms the satellite transmission into a useable signal. MB Tech has developed a special new breed of LNB converter which allows the signal to feed separate televisions or other 'boxes' with different channels. The signal coming in from one dish can be distributed through MB Tech's 'dual and triple horned' LNB converter such that multiple channels can be viewed, or different channels and Internet access can be delivered.. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
 
 
Other technological objectives have been to develop LNB for G.P.S. equipment, and small type two horn technology as well as UBC DSS type LNB. These objectives have been achieved and the Company is currently speaking with larger American based technology companies about the technology. 



PRODUCTS

MB Tech products are innovative! We rely on superior technology to be an integral part of our business. We have made a serious committment to ongoing R&D to stay ahead of the curve.

MB Tech, Inc traces its roots back to 2000 with the development of 3 types of LNB (DSS type). Continuous reinvention and rapid transformation are themes throughout our history. Led by our top-notch technology, our company offered a new breed of satellite broadcasting solutions to clients?solutions that customized LNB with 3 or 4 horns.

Click here to see our product milestones.

Within the next two years, MB Tech will spend over 80 million dollars on continuing Research and development of our products. We will continue a process of product renewal that will assure products with features and functionality that will be attractive to the market.




MDI: MERRILL LYNCH COMMENTS ON AD TRENDS IN THE MEDIA SECTOR

Merrill Lynch surveyed newspapers, TV stations and radio stations to try to understand the divergent trends between local and national advertising in the current recovery. They noted that U.S. ad expenditures tend to keep pace with or slightly outperform the economy over time. As such, the rise of media outlets should not necessarily lead to higher ad spending but most likely to market share shifts among the mediums. The surveys showed that local cable is becoming a more competitive force, but overall, they found no major structural issues impacting the dynamics between local and national ad spending.

Merrill noted that national advertisers typically base their budgets on projected economic trends and therefore can afford to spend a bit ahead of a turn in the cycle. However, local advertisers, with more limited resources, are more likely to lag in spending coming out of a recovery as they need to see an immediate return on investment. They pointed out that a better economy should eliminate the differences.

The firm believes there are many positive themes occurring with newspapers today (e.g. collaborative selling efforts, product innovation, renewed focus on readership) that are being masked by the downturn in department store spending, which appears to be secular, and the cyclical issue of help wanted, which is finally turning positive.

>From a consumer perspective, they believe radio is a relatively protected medium. However, the industry remains beset with excess inventory, following unsustainable demand in the late 1990's. A reduction in spots and/or lower prices could limit near term growth, yet support long term growth, giving investors something to chase.

TV is about to enter the growth phase of its two year cycle, but its low growth, single revenue stream is likely the main target for local cable TV and should also be impacted by increased DVR penetration, which gives the firm little to get excited about.

Subject: Status map does not keep view after refresh
Message-ID: <002901c3cdd5$808cdff0$513a6618@netcraftinc.int>

When I'm looking at the STATUS MAP view the default is a "circular"
configuration of the icons. Since our map is very large (300+) items, I
often use the "balanced tree" view. The annoying issue is after the page
refreshes, the map defaults back to the "circular" view. Is this a bug or is
there a way to maintain the selected view from the selection list after the
page refreshes?

 

Also is there a way to better space out icons in the circular view so that
they do not overlap?

 

Thank you,

 

Frank

Look for default_status_layout in cgi.cfg.

A brief look at the code indicates you may be able to pass hidden
variables affecting the spacing but whether that does what you want
or not... 

There is another area where it is lacking.  We do remote monitoring for
several sites with several machines each.  They get logins that let them
look at their own machines.  But instead of the layout giving them a
view as if theirs were the only machines, it effectively gives them the
full view with machines that aren't there's blanked out.  So even though
a circular view of their machines alone would not be cramped if that's
all we were monitoring, they instead get a very cramped view with lots
of big empty gaps.  Yes, we do explain that to them, but the status map
is essentially for PHBs who don't understand explanations and just want it
to look pretty...

Hi Frank.
 
I had exactly the same problem until recently.
 
There is an entry in the cgi.cfg file that allows you to specify the
default view of the status map. If you change the relevant line (~305)
to read:
 
    default_statusmap_layout=3
 
This should do the job for you.
 
regards,
David

Subject: WAP Interface Non Standard Port
Message-ID: <001101c3ce20$351f60b0$71021fac@ncc.netlincservices.com>

My ISP blocks port 80 inbound.  I am trying to get to the Nagios WAP
interface via a non-standard port (3390).

Internally, the WAP piece works fine using a local PC based WAP browser
(http://www.winwap.org):
http://username:password at servernameFQDN/nagios/cgi-bin/statuswml.cgi)

I have a redirect on my firewall for port 80 going to 3390 on my Nagios box.
This is functioning correctly, as I can get to
http://servernameFQDN:3390/nagios/index.html and access Nagios from outside.

However, the WAP piece doesn't work using the same syntax and adding the
port:
http://username:password at servernameFQDN:3390/nagios/cgi-bin/statuswml.cgi)

I've tried through the WAP browser at http://www.mobone.com/, as well as my
Verizon cellphone.

Is there anything in WAP that doesn't like the :3390 port definition?
Verizon's homepage URL on my phone has a :8509 at the end, so I know it can
take ports.  But I assume that gets you to their proxy server.  But it
doesn't work through mobone.com either, so I don't think it's a Verizon
specific problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sean Fischer

Message-ID: <3937FEF7FFD31F4FAF2D22763C44D69E842DA5@astro.SURGIENT.COM>

Is there a standard plugin for monitoring uptime on Unix?  I need to
monitor for an unexpected reboot that may occur between polling cycles.
I think check_nt will work for Windows, but I do not see an equivalent
for Unix.  I did a web search and came up with nothing.  Note that the
Archive is currently down so I apologize if this question has come up
before.  Thanks for any info.

The problem is that uptime often returns slightly different formats on each
version of unix.
 
There is the "uptime_by_snmp" plugin though, which uses the check_snmp
plugin to get it for you.

Subject: check_http and switches/hubs issues
Message-ID: <20031229191626.GA399@therub.org>

Heyo, 

Nagios 1.1_3, plugins 1.3.1 on FreeBSD 4.9

2 questions:

First of all, I need to check a site that uses simple HTTP
authentication using check_http.  I know I can pass a username/password
to check_http, but I am satisfied to see 
"HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required"
So how can I convince nagios/check_http that all is good if we get the
auth required string?  I messed with the expect tag in check_http, but I
still get "Invalid HTTP response received from host".

2nd question:
How can I add hubs and switches that have no IP address?  I just want to
be able to see them in the status map for consistancy (by setting them
as parents in hosts.cfg). 

TIA, 
Dan

Subject: NSCA, NRPE+SSL woes
Message-ID: <605FDF98-3A50-11D8-92C1-0030657DF28A@airmail.net>

Howdy:

I'm trying to set up nagios for the first time, using a central server, 
a distributed server, and hosts which are monitored by the distributed 
server. I seem to have everything working except for a couple of things.

  * * *

First, send_nsca -> nsca isn't working at all.

I have verified that nsca.cfg on the central server has 
"allowed_hosts={distributed server's hostname}". The central server can 
resolve the distributed server's hostname, and it can connect to it 
(ping). The submit_check_result shell script on the distributed server 
is exactly as indicated in the nagios documentation. There is no 
password in either check_nsca.cfg or nsca.cfg, and the 
encryption/decryption option is set to "1" (XOR). (I.e., I'm using the 
defaults on both ends for now.) All of the files belong to user:group 
nagios:nagios, which is the same user and group that owns the nagios 
process.

However, the central server never receives any data from the 
distributed server. If I attempt to run send_nsca manually, I get the 
following result:

> # /usr/bin/echo {arguments} | /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H 
> {central server's hostname} -c /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca.cfg
> Error: Server closed connection before init packet was received
> Error: Could not read init packet from server

I get the same result whether I run nsca (on the central server) as a 
standalone daemon, or through inetd.

If I enable active checks on the central server, it can "see" the 
monitored host and reports that it is healthy. If I disable active 
checks, wipe out the status log and restart nagios, it reports the 
monitored host's status as PENDING (of course, because it never 
receives any status report from nsca).

  * * *

Second, check_nrpe -> nrpe doesn't work if I enable SSL. If I disable 
SSL, it works fine. But with SSL enabled, I get the following result:
> # ./check_nrpe -H {host to monitor} -c check_load
> CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

I get the same result whether I run nrpe as a standalone daemon on the 
monitored host, or through inetd. For what it's worth, I settled on 
running it through inetd with tcp wrappers, since that works fine as 
long as SSL is not enabled. I am working around this for now, but any 
help in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Michael

Answer to the second question:
Use the check_dummy plugin, which will always return a status of "up".  Then
you can treat the switches/hubs like any other real host, including defining
parents or children.

Subject: NRPE 2.0 compile problem on Solaris 2.6
Message-ID: <B7824E219C630A4BB5F97190F523C12B09DA80@vulcanos.ch.comitgroup.net>

Hi all,

hope this is not OT - I tried to compile NRPE 2.0 on Solaris 2.6.
Make failed; the compiler (gcc) complained about the unknown type 
socklen_t in line 520 of nrpe.c.

I compared the source file with that of NRPE 1.8 and noticed that 
in 1.8 the type of addrlen used to be int. My quick fix was to set
the type to int in 2.0 as well, but I'm sure this is not a proper
fix. Maybe someone with more C and network programming knowledge 
can deal with this minor problem.

Just wanted to let you know.

Regards,

Jan Hildebrandt

P.S.: CC me when replying, I'm not subscribed. Thanks!

Subject: Want to do Delayed Notification on certain types of HARD conditions
Message-ID: <BCB1151D5ACB514CB2531FE7B7B9D6130162BB@chai.cloud9.local>

I was wondering if it was possible in Nagios to only page after some
persistent period of a HARD condition like say a HARD warning.  In this
instance, I want to have Nagios send notification only after 12 hours of a
HARD warning has been persistently in place, but I want to continue to have
immediate notifications on a HARD critical.

Anyone have any ideas on how one might do that without creating duplicate
service or host checks (one for warnings only and another for all other
conditions)?

why not set your notification interval to 12 hours?

You'll get paged to let you know it's down, and 12 hours later you'll
get the second page that says "no, seriously, it's down."

Not a svelte solution, but it's better than nothing, I hope :)

Why not use escalations?

define serviceescalation{
  host_name	         webserver
  service_description    HTTP
  first_notification     12
  last_notification      48
  notification_interval  60
  contact_groups         unix-admins
}

Configure the services.cfg to check every 60 minutes and put a null
contact group in the service definition.

My mistake. I misread your message (reading HARD as critical).

Subject: Passive checks? (NSCA)
Message-ID: <E464D99F-3B19-11D8-92C1-0030657DF28A@airmail.net>

Howdy:

I posted on this list that I was having trouble with getting send_nsca  
-> nsca to work for me. (Note: this is my first attempt to use nagios.)  
Maybe my problem is as simple as a configuration issue. So, I'll  
rephrase my question to this:

What do I need to do to make passive service checks work?

I have a distributed server which is monitoring several hosts (via  
check_nrpe -> nrpe). It is working just fine, as far as I can tell. On  
the "Process info" page, it displays:
Notifications enabled? NO
Service checks being executed? YES
Passive service checks being accepted? NO

I have a central server which is not directly monitoring any hosts. It  
expects to receive the results from the distributed server (via  
send_nsca -> nsca). The server is up, but it shows all hosts/services  
status as PENDING (forever). It displays:
Notifications enabled? YES
Service checks being executed? NO
Passive service checks being accepted? YES

Here are the relevant configuration files:

----- send_nsca.cfg (on the distributed server): -----
#password=
encryption_method=1

----- nsca.cfg (on the central server): -----
#password=
server_port=5667
allowed_hosts={hostname of distributed server}
nsca_user=nagios
nsca_group=nagios
debug=0
command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
alternate_dump_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump
aggregate_writes=0
append_to_file=0
max_packet_age=30
decryption_method=1

----- relevant portion of /etc/inetd.conf (on the central server): -----
nsca	stream	tcp	nowait	nagios	/usr/sfw/sbin/tcpd	/usr/local/nagios/bin/ 
nsca -c /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca.cfg -i

----- relevant portion of /etc/services (on the central server): -----
nsca	5667/tcp	# Nagios service check acceptor

----- nagios.cfg (on the distributed server): -----
... (lots of stuff snipped, only showing a few settings) ...
check_external_commands=0
command_check_interval=-1
execute_service_checks=1
accept_passive_service_checks=0
enable_notifications=0
ocsp_timeout=5
obsess_over_services=1
ocsp_command=submit_check_result

----- nagios.cfg (on the central server): -----
... (lots of stuff snipped, only showing a few settings) ...
check_external_commands=1
command_check_interval=-1
execute_service_checks=0
accept_passive_service_checks=1
enable_notifications=1
obsess_over_services=0

I'm running Nagios 1.1, compiled for Solaris 9 (running on Sun/SPARC  
hardware using gcc).

I'm really stumped, and would be grateful for any help.

Thanks,
Michael

When I click the "Availability" link to the left and generate one for hosts
for the last 7 days, I get 100% on all servers "% time undetermined"..
meaning it doesn't seem to track this data. If I click to do it for "this

on what would cause this function in nagios to not work? Something I need to
turn on or so forth?

US Stock Market - Stock Profile of the Week

Symbol: MBTT
Market: OTC.BB
Sector: ELECTRONICS


Before we begin our profile we have very exciting, breaking news...

Renowned Satellite Industry Expert Dr. Arthur R. Tilford Joins MB Tech


BREAKING NEWS - (PRIMEZONE) - MB Tech, Inc. (OTC.BB: MBTT) announces that Dr. Arthur R. Tilford, formerly with Hughes Electronics (NYSE: GMH), has been retained by the Company to provide technical consulting and advisory services.

Tilford is an aerospace industry veteran responsible for a total of 11 patents and patent applications within the field, having received Hughes' Chairman's Award for DirecDuo, solo engineering efforts in 1997. He is an expert system designer and Federal Licensing and Certifying Engineer. He has authored several books, including Satellite Fieldbook Quarterly(c) -- Hughes S&C, CA, the contents of which describe all parameters of every C/Ku band geo-satellite in the world and the over 400 page Satellite Workbook(c) for use in satellite engineering classes, taught by him, at the California State University (CSUF at CSULB).

Tilford worked with Netune Communications, where he was responsible for providing transponder allocations, domestic and international link-budget calculations for narrow to very-wide-band satellite system and writing, calculating and applying for FCC and RA transmit licenses.

He also assigned parameters for RF sub-system design and is an expert in radiation hazard compliance.

Hanwook Bae, President of MB Tech, commented, ``The importance of Dr. Tilford joining the Company cannot be underestimated. He is an industry leader with numerous patents relating to antenna design and an immense knowledge of the satellite Internet market. His incredible technical knowledge will allow us to dramatically step up our new initiatives, catapulting us to the forefront of our industry.'' He added, ``This is yet another positive step forward in the overall paradigm shift for the Company. We have moved from being a manufacturer of satellite components, to a Company that will lead the consumer satellite electronics industry.''




STOCK PROFILE OF THE WEEK

MB Tech is a global manufacturer and distributor of satellite components. The primary product MB Tech produces is "LNB" (Low-Noise Blockdown) converters, which are the essential element enabling DBS satellites to receive and convert satellite transmission signals. MB Tech currently serves the satellite television market, and is expanding to serve the satellite radio and military hardware sectors. MB Tech manufactures several proprietary LNB solutions that differentiate it from competitors. MB Tech's product line includes a dual-horn LNB which allows multiple set-top boxes to be connected to a single satellite dish, enabling viewing of multiple channels simultaneously on different television monitors, and a tri-horn LNB, which provides the ability to download signals from multiple satellites over a single dish.



TECHNOLOGY

MB Tech has improved on conventional designs and can manufacture units more efficiently and less expensively than the competition. MB Tech specializes in LNB electronics, it is the ONLY thing we do.
 
 
An LNB converter transforms the satellite transmission into a useable signal. MB Tech has developed a special new breed of LNB converter which allows the signal to feed separate televisions or other 'boxes' with different channels. The signal coming in from one dish can be distributed through MB Tech's 'dual and triple horned' LNB converter such that multiple channels can be viewed, or different channels and Internet access can be delivered.. ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
 
 
Other technological objectives have been to develop LNB for G.P.S. equipment, and small type two horn technology as well as UBC DSS type LNB. These objectives have been achieved and the Company is currently speaking with larger American based technology companies about the technology. 



PRODUCTS

MB Tech products are innovative! We rely on superior technology to be an integral part of our business. We have made a serious committment to ongoing R&D to stay ahead of the curve.

MB Tech, Inc traces its roots back to 2000 with the development of 3 types of LNB (DSS type). Continuous reinvention and rapid transformation are themes throughout our history. Led by our top-notch technology, our company offered a new breed of satellite broadcasting solutions to clients?solutions that customized LNB with 3 or 4 horns.

Click here to see our product milestones.

Within the next two years, MB Tech will spend over 80 million dollars on continuing Research and development of our products. We will continue a process of product renewal that will assure products with features and functionality that will be attractive to the market.




MDI: MERRILL LYNCH COMMENTS ON AD TRENDS IN THE MEDIA SECTOR

Merrill Lynch surveyed newspapers, TV stations and radio stations to try to understand the divergent trends between local and national advertising in the current recovery. They noted that U.S. ad expenditures tend to keep pace with or slightly outperform the economy over time. As such, the rise of media outlets should not necessarily lead to higher ad spending but most likely to market share shifts among the mediums. The surveys showed that local cable is becoming a more competitive force, but overall, they found no major structural issues impacting the dynamics between local and national ad spending.

Merrill noted that national advertisers typically base their budgets on projected economic trends and therefore can afford to spend a bit ahead of a turn in the cycle. However, local advertisers, with more limited resources, are more likely to lag in spending coming out of a recovery as they need to see an immediate return on investment. They pointed out that a better economy should eliminate the differences.

The firm believes there are many positive themes occurring with newspapers today (e.g. collaborative selling efforts, product innovation, renewed focus on readership) that are being masked by the downturn in department store spending, which appears to be secular, and the cyclical issue of help wanted, which is finally turning positive.

>From a consumer perspective, they believe radio is a relatively protected medium. However, the industry remains beset with excess inventory, following unsustainable demand in the late 1990's. A reduction in spots and/or lower prices could limit near term growth, yet support long term growth, giving investors something to chase.

TV is about to enter the growth phase of its two year cycle, but its low growth, single revenue stream is likely the main target for local cable TV and should also be impacted by increased DVR penetration, which gives the firm little to get excited about.

Subject: First time install, big fubar mess
Message-ID: <3FF21FEC.7070501@sevenl.net>

Greetings,

I've installed a standard nagios setup for my employer, monitoring 
several servers and services.  Initially, nagios seemed to be working, 
though not exactly as expected, but now I seemed to have fubar'd everything.

I orginally compiled nagios to use mysql and without the --with-cgiurl 
or --with-htmlurl flags.  I just wanted to get nagios working before 
playing with web interface.  After getting nagios to work for the most 
part, I recompiled with the appropriate flags for using the web 
interface.  However, nagios can't seem to parse any of the config files now.

Running nagios with -v gives the following errors which seem to suggest 
nagios is croaking on the first line of the config that is not commented.

What would cause such a problem?  I have not seen such an error in the 
documentation or through my scanning of the list archives.

Also, while I compiled nagios to use mysql, it doesn't seem to be 
writing data to the mysql DB.  I have checked the mysql logs, and there 
are no errors.  In fact, it doesn't look as if nagios is even trying to 
connect to mysql at this time.  I set the appropriate variables in the 
resources.cfg. Is there another config file I need to edit that maybe I 
missed in the documentation?

Thanks for any help.  Regards

Dan Lang

I started with sample configs, and changed them for my environment. 
Maybe I didn't explain it well enough before, but line 51 of 
'/usr/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg' is the first line of the config that 
is not commented.  For instance line 51 of 
/usr/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg is:

define command{
         command_name    check_tcp
         command_line    $USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$
         }

and line 50 of /usr/nagios/etc/miscommands.cfg is

define command{
         command_name    notify-by-email
         command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: 
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" 
| /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ 
is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
         }

A note that I forgot to mention last time.  I moved my checkcommands.cfg 
to checkcommands.cfg.bak and copied the example config to 
checkcommands.cfg.  running nagios -v gave the same error.

Thanks,

Dan Lang

Here is a "mini howto" I wrote a while ago:

================================
NAGIOS PASSIVE CHECKS mini HOWTO 
================================

>From the Nagios Manual:
/passivechecks.html
/extcommands.html
More:
/commandfile.html
/volatileservices.html
/eventhandlers.html
Even more:
/freshness.html
/distributed.html

Active checks are initiated by Nagios, while passive checks are performed
by external applications. Once an external application has performed a 
service check, it submits the results of the service "check" to Nagios
through the external command file.

By default, Nagios does not check for, or process any external commands.
To enable it, set the following in "nagios.cfg":
##
check_external_commands=1  ## On
command_check_interval=-1  ## As often as possible
command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
##

Setup permissions on the directory containing the external command file:
##
- Create a new Nagios Command group:
#$ groupadd nagioscmd
- Add the web server user (nobody or apache, etc) and the Nagios user
(nagios) to the newly created group:
#$ usermod -G nagioscmd nagios
#$ usermod -G nagioscmd nobody
- Create the directory where the command file should be stored:
#$ mkdir /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
- Change the ownership of the directory:
#$ chown nagios.nagioscmd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
- Ensure the Nagios user has full permissions on the directory:
#$ chmod u+rwx /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
- Ensure the Nagios Command group has full permissions on the directory:
#$ chmod g+rwx /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
- Enable the group sticky bit on the directory:
#$ chmod g+s /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
- Check the permissions by running 'ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var':
## drwxrws---   2 nagios nagioscmd     1024 Aug 11 16:30 rw

Restart the web server.

Create a "passive_test" service by adding this entry to 
"/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg":
##
define service {
  use                           generic-service ; your template
  host_name                     localhost
  service_description           passive_test
  is_volatile                   1 ; every change is logged ...
  max_check_attempts            1 ; a change is after only 1 try ...
  active_checks_enabled         0 ; unset template's default ...
  passive_checks_enabled        1 ; ditto ...
  check_freshness               0
  freshness_threshold           300
  notification_options          n ; no notifications ...
  check_command			"" ; nagios requires something ...
}
##

Restart Nagios.

In the Browser Console:
- Click "Service Detail" in Main Menu and look for a new 
  Passive Service at "localhost" called "passive_test"
- Click the "passive_test" link
- Click "Submit passive check result for this service" 
  on "Service Commands" menu.
- Submit a value in the "Check Output" line and click "Commit"
- Click "Service Detail" in Main Menu and see if the new 
  Passive Service at "localhost" displays this value

Success with "builtin" external check commands.

The format of an external check command is as follows:
[<timestamp>] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;<host_name>;<description>; \
  <return_code>;<plugin_output>
where timestamp is a UNIX time

Copy this script from Nagios source directory:
#$ cp $SRC/nagios-1.1/contrib/eventhandlers/submit_check_result \
#$   /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers
Edit this line to correspond to Nagios installation:
##
CommandFile="/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd"

Subject: Exended info icons not working
Message-ID: <3FF2B993.8070302@cjgarland.com>

As I've got nagios monitoring 77 hosts, I've been trying to get host 
icons onto the status map by using the extended info settings. I have 
this setting at the moment, which doesn't work and generates no errors

# in cgi.cfg
xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/41.0/hostextinfo.cfg

# in /etc/nagios/41.0/hostextinfo.cfg
define hostextinfo {
        host_name       CNE-12-DS1
        icon_image      /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/images/logos/Cisco2500p.gif
        statusmap_image /usr/share/nagios/htdocs/images/logos/Cisco2500p.gif
}

The graphics exist at those paths with 644 permissions, any suggestions.

Subject: Archives of NRPE
Message-ID: <CC388CB3FD048C43989AFD240B23FCF01CCD11@HQ-MAIL>

Hello,
 
Does anyone know where I can download versions of NRPE 1.x? I'm forced
to use 1.8 on HP-UX 11.00 and therefore cannot use 2.0 on my Nagios host
because of backwards compatibility issues.
 
Thanks,
Pat Donahue
