From gwichman at zantaz.com Wed Jan 1 04:17:33 2003 From: gwichman at zantaz.com (Gerald Wichmann) Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2002 19:17:33 -0800 Subject: central server spawning tons of processes... ? Message-ID: <12C7D768CC8ED4118A9200508BEEC6FB02CB410B@zanexch.zantaz.com> I have 2 distributed nagios servers sending passive checks to a 3rd central nagios server. On the central server i'm continuing to see odd problems. One thing i notice that i find odd and perhaps wrong, is there are a TON of nagios processes running. e.g. if i do a "ps -ef | grep nag | wc -l" i see tons of them. Just today after it's been running for a bit over 24 hours the above command returned slightly more then 4000. This seems excessive and wrong.. Is nagios supposed to spawn additional processes? If i do a nagios stop, they all go away. When i first do a "start", it starts with 1 but within a minute, it'll grow to a few.. then get into the 10's.. and slowly keep growing obviously to a lot. I can clearly see the nagios process is spawning them. Doesn't matter if i use init.d to start/stop it or start it manually. It still spawns more. Is this correct behavior? I downloaded 1.0 and compiled it, but it still does it. My two distrivuted servers, as far as i can tell, only show 1 process. Each of the 3 nagios servers are at different levels. e.g. the central is running an up to date RH8, the distributed are running an up to date RH7.3 and non up to date 7.1.. I'd love to know if anyone else has a central server and if they see this? thanks, Gerald This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.

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

At our site, I am currently experimenting with having the serviceperfdata written to a FIFO, and having a (perl) daemon read from this pipe and pop the data into a mysql database. This is not perfect, given that it adds another point of failure, but the current results look good. We have also added a few patches to some of the core plugins to add some perfdata to be returned in a consistent manner. We chose to use a format using the ucd MIB, but we are a little selective in what gets returned. The whole OID is not used, but as the last part should be reasonably distinct, it should be okay. For example, the return for check_swap is like: Swap ok - Swap used: 32% (81596416 out of 254943232) | memAvailSwap=173346816, memTotalSwap=254943232 For "check_disk", we add an instance variable: dskPath.1=/, dskTotal.1=5148636, dskUsed.1=4674744, dskPercent.1=91%, dskPath.2=/boot, dskTotal.2=15522, dskUsed.2=1862, dskPercent.2=13% Doing it this way made it much easier to parse out the performance data, instead of having to create a new regex (or whatever) for each $OUTPUT$ returned to extract the data. I can supply some more details, if you are interested. >>It might interest you to know that database support is being dropped. Well, there goes the idea of trying to work out how to integrate the performance data collection into the nagios core. :-( Rodger -- Rodger Allen | "te occidere possunt sed r.allen at awayweb.com | te edere non possunt nefas Mob: +61 402 209 256 | est" DFW GPG fingerprint = 958F 256F 5327 D14E 49EA 0681 05E6 2EC3 62E8 793F Thawte fingerprint = 96:09:A2:3B:67:9F:B4:AE:C8:50:BC:2F:31:00:AB:14 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The management likes to see pretty pictures of the machine's CPU load, network traffic and the like. So I had the choice to integrate (somehow) database access into the check scripts or drop nagios completely and switch to Openview or (even worse) netIQ. So I was in a hurry and needed a quick solution: I open the connection to the mysql database every time the check scripts (i.e. a perl script) runs. This is bad (I know) but at the moment it works. I would be intrested reading about the (ongoing ?) discussion on database support in nagios. Where can I find it ? > At our site, I am currently experimenting with having the > serviceperfdata written to a FIFO, and having a (perl) daemon > read from > this pipe and pop the data into a mysql database. That's a better way to do...but I think there was a hint in the docs, that you should not write any data into files or something like that. That's the reason why I decided to open a new connection to my database every time I need it. > This is not perfect, given that it adds another point of failure, but > the current results look good. Thinking, during I type... what we need is a database handle, that is valid as long nagios is alive. I read about the embedded perl interpreter in nagios, perhaps we could do some dirty tricks with it: Write a small perl script, that opens the connection to the database, keeps it open and accepts some telegrams from the check scripts (perhaps there is a way to fork() this script and let it become the check script (something like exec or so) so the check script can use the handle...). Anyway: I think that sooner or later everyone will need something like database support, so if database support is going away in nagios we'll have to find another way to implement it. Independent on the implementation we should do it "coordinated", avoiding twenty different releases of nagios...

Just a question, I want to check the lines on our ciscos and I thought, this will do it: # 'check_snmp' command definition define command{ command_name check_snmp_Line command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -C $ARG2$ } This checks our line and gives "snmp ok - up (1)" back, if it is up, and "snmp ok - down (0)", if it is down. The problem is, that nagios shows the checks in both time as ok/green. What is the way, to get down-notifications, if the line is down?

This plugin would scrub the datfile (eg, with grep); the result of this plugin would be returned to Nagios. Of course, I'm making some wild assumptions about your environment, such as the system that hosts your datfiles is a *nix host. If it's Windows, I'm not entirely certain how you'd do it. Still, you could install OpenSSH and Perl on your Windows servers to facilitate this sleight of hand.

I have checked the documentation as well as browsed through the archives and still come up with little in regards to generating reports not via the nagios interface. The goal would be for me to be able to find a list of examples as well as all the variables names that I would need to pass to whichever CGI to get a graph. I monitor a lot of machines and I would like to have reports generated in the format of the report page for each host within a hostgroup. I would like to do this via a perl script that generates the request and associated parameters and queries nagios and pipes the output it receives to a file. This way I can maintain weekly, monthly, yearly status information without having to generate a report for each host and then each host group. I tried skimming the source, but I figured that would take a little too long and a 'strings' on the CGI was too much. If someone has already done something like this, I would appreciate anything towards the right direction.

No. However you must define at least _one_ service. Most choose to define ping as well as other services because in most cases you probably want to to be informed that a host is unreachable __before__ (owing to the way Nagios works) that it activates the host checking logic. > If you do not, > aren't they still pinged with the check-host-alive command or are they > just assumed to be up by the nagios process? You should read the theory of operation. In a nutshell, check-host-alive is only scheduled after a service check returns a HARD CRITICAL state. You have two opions 1 Define services >= 1 + ping ==> notified if host becomes unreachable at service check time 2 Define services(excluding ping) >= 1 ==> notified when host becomes unreachable only after a service check cycle reports a service failure. > > If I'm thinking correctly, then the only way to get notification of a > host being "down" is to include it in a ping service definition correct? > No. Hosts are always checked if a service fails.

The version is retreived by grepping, cutting, some awk and some other tools on the output of the virusscanner version info. This is not the problem. The problem is how to let the plugin know what the current (uptodate) version is. I want to result the plugin OK if uptodate, WARNING on 1 versions behind, ERROR on all other results. The plugin is capable of getting the current used version, now i have to let it compare to the latest version. This information can be fetched of the internet, but if all hosts gets the information on every check, this would consumps a lot of bandwidth. The information of the latest version is also known on the nagios host. So if the information (versionnumber) can be given to the remote host, the plugin can also get his result (without fetching extra information of the internet). > Of course, I'm making some wild assumptions about your environment, such as > the system that hosts your datfiles is a *nix host.

But this plugin fetches the info from the internet. I did try some thing.. method 1: check_nrpe!check_datfile This gets the latest information from the internet. method 2: check_by_ssh!"/bin/nagios/libexec/check_datfile2 4240" With this method, the latest version is given to the remote host, and not from the internet (here 4240). But this is now static in the configuration file. I can't get this information variable (readed from a file or something, before it is passed to a remote host). The only solution i can see now, is to call a local plugin on the nagios-host. This shell scripts than uses nagios plugins (check_by_ssh, or check_nrpe) to get some result from a remote host, and calculate the result. This solution is not wanted due to resoures on the nagios-server.

Message-ID: <3E14F3EB.2817D4B9@advapro.com> I think I might have encountered a bug in the Nagios notification system. If this was intended, please slap me. =) Using: Nagios-text 1.0-3 on Debian Linux 3.0 (Woody). Here's my setup: I only monitor hosts being pingable. Therefore, I create a single service for each host I add named 'ping'. I have *enabled* all service notifications for every host I monitor. I have *disabled* all host notifications for every host I monitor. So AFAIK, the process goes like this: 1) Service goes down hard (ping in my case). 2) Nagios pings host to see if it's alive. 3) Nagios determines host is down, so it SILENCES all service notifications and sends out a host down notification. 4) Nagios realises all host notifications are disabled, so no notifications get sent out at all. I was tearing my hair out on this for a couple hours as to why I wasn't getting notified of anything being down. I realise that this *could* be considered a configuration error, but given that lots of people probably have a simmilar setup as me (with pinging being the only service of a host), it would be nice if Nagios could send out a service alert if it sees it is a ping (same as host down), or possibly creating a 'serviceless host' option in which all it does is ping to see if it's alive. Anyway, any input would be greately appriciated. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From karl at debisschop.net Fri Jan 3 03:35:21 2003 From: karl at debisschop.net (Karl DeBisschop) Date: 02 Jan 2003 21:35:21 -0500 Subject: remote disk/load?

SNMP is good for secure clusters, of servers with fairly low overhead. If you are running check over the open internet check_by_ssh is more secure, but there's more overhead involved in the connection. Plus, you must also istall the plugins you are interested in on the remote host. -- Karl DeBisschop ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From atulsh at hclinsys.com Fri Jan 3 05:17:17 2003 From: atulsh at hclinsys.com (Atul Shrivastava) Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 09:47:17 +0530 Subject: SNMP Settings in Windows Message-ID: <003b01c2b2df$00de6060$5f7b0297@atul> Hello All, I want to know that what all are the settings that are required while configuring the SNMP service in Win NT & Win 2K machines.

For example: define service{ use default_service hostgroup_name nt_servers service_description PING check_command check_ping <-- should be a valid command definition contact_groups nt_admins } Also check your command definition for check_ping: # 'check_ping' command definition define command{ command_name check_ping command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 50:20% -c 100:100% } Nagios relies on the return code from the check_ping plugin to determine the status so you can test this by running: [root at trip etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 10.0.0.1 -w 50:20% -c 100:100% ; echo $? PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.95 ms <-- Output from the plugin 0 <-- Return code (0=OK, 1=WARNING, 2=CRITICAL, any other value=UNKNOWN) [root at trip etc]# Hope this helps, if it doesn't I would suggest posting your problematic service & command definitions to the mailing-list.

The development site for nsclient doesn't seem to have been updated since last March and in order to even get the check_nt plugin compiled on Solaris I had to apply the patch to the version from the nsclient site.

Message-ID: <20030103051753.L67923-100000@www.gotbrains.org> I've been having a rough time getting my 2-D status maps looking sane. My network has multiple redundancies built into it so I have a stack of one-to-many and many-to-one relationships in various places. For instance, nagios connects to router1, which connects to router2 and router3. Then, router1, router2, and router3 all connect to the Internet (routers are then parents for many hosts) all on different interfaces through different providers. The basic problem I'm having is that drawing status maps like this is a minor nightmare so I've created a bogus router4 that is effectively an abstraction of the Internet. The problem is that logically, it's a consolidation of routers 1,2, and 3, but since it has to have an ip address as a host, (it thinks it's router 3) if router3 goes down, as parent of all the internet hosts, if one of them goes down, I don't get a page even if they'd otherwise still be accessible. Due to periodic and automatic routing table shifts, not to mention suprise routing problems caused by our upstream providers, I can't set a given router as a parent to a given remote host. And if I set ALL of the routers as parents to a remote host, my status map looks like spaghetti and becomes unuseable in most of its incarnations. This is all ignoring the fact that nagios has problems mapping "many to one to many", "one to many and some of those to one" as well as from "many to random combinations of manys", but the first is MUCH less cluttered than the later two. (Does this make sense?) So the only way I can think to make the statusmaps look sane is to have hostextinfo for a hostgroup that doesn't page me when it/they go down (I've already got the individual routers configured) and lets everything else work as normal. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to create an Internet abstraction hostextinfo entry? Or any other way to deal with this? Please email me if you need clarification on this and otherwise think you might be able to help. Or if i've missed something the docs. ;) -Stephen ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From GPotter at MarathonOil.com Fri Jan 3 14:31:25 2003 From: GPotter at MarathonOil.com (Potter, G M (Greg)) Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 07:31:25 -0600 Subject: checking sun solaris disk space Message-ID: I think the command is looking for the mount point, not the character special device path.

I've set up two hosts, one with ping and http and one with just ping. Nagios isn't seeing either of them and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what is going on. Per the earlier message, /sbin/ping is indeed suid root. I haven't been able to install nagios-plugins from ports because it is broken somehow (both make and gmake break), but I have the basic checks installed in nagios/libexec so I should at least be able to set up basic hosts, right? Unfortunately, I get notifications like "check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage!" or "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds" (both for ping). check_http gives "Socket timeout after 10 seconds" though (presumably it's a port 80 check) this is our main corporate webserver. Could it possibly be because I'm running Apache2 rather than 1.x? FreeBSD vs. Linux? I'm going to have to choose something else if I can't figure this out. My sense is that Nagios shouldn't be this finicky, but for me it is. -eric hosts.cfg --------- # Generic host definition template define host{ ; The name of this host template - referenced in other host definitions, used for template recursion/resolution name generic-host 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 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! } # 'nt1' host definition define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name comet alias Corp.

If I don't define an escalation for say http on box #1 and it goes down will no one get notified?? or will it just use the host escalation in liew of the missing service escalation? as far as Nagios is concern how does it deal with hosts vs. services?? I am under the impression the only "host" check being done is the check-hosts-alive as defined in the hosts.cfg so the bulk of what your monitoring in nagios will be in the services.cfg I am monitoring much more then ping... so again, is only a host escalation sufficient to trigger a notification in the event of a service failure? I am monitoring over 300+ services on 80+ hosts so if I can get away with only needing to have 80 host escalations rather then 300+ service escalations + 80 host escalations I would welcome the cut down in time... --Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com Fri Jan 3 18:14:18 2003 From: jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com (Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]) Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 11:14:18 -0600 Subject: NAgios Setup errors Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB014E120B@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> This is a bit speculative, so if you find a better answer, go with that.

If you're not getting an answer, it's likely because: - nobody has the answer - somebody has the answer, and is unwilling to share it (and that's their prerogative) - you're not asking the right question - you're asking the right question, but in the wrong forum Have you thought about checking either a mailing list or a website which relates to either SNMP, Windows, or SNMP on Windows? Once you have that info (ie, SNMP setup in Windows, as well as the MIB you wish to check), I'm sure someone on this list will be able to help you set up the necessary check_snmp definition in Nagios. Sending the same question to a mailing list is, IMHO, poor netiquette. Please be a little more respectful of the other users of this list.

I have the nsca daemon running on the central server, and I have been able to successfully send a service check result via nsca-send from the distributed server. The issue appears to be that the distributed server is not executing the ocsp_command. Here are the settings on the distributed server: 1. Obsess over services is enabled both globally and per service. 2. The ocsp_command is defined in nagios.cfg as ocsp_command=submit_check_result 3. "submit_check_result" is defined in the command definitions section exactly from the documentation. 4. The submit_check_result script was created in the libexec directory and the command definition points directly to this file. I can log in as nagios and run the submit_check_result shell script successfully, and the service check is received by the central server. It simply seems to be that Nagios is not executing the ocsp command with every service check. I've tried to watch the service check as they happen via the nagios.log file and even compiled nagios with debug 3. Is there a better way to debug this? Anyone have any ideas on what I may be missing? Thanks, Richard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Maybe what you're interested in doing is to have the datfiles consistent and up-to-date, and not test whether they are or not. Sure, the test would be valuable, but it might be redundant. Allow me to illustrate.... Set up an rsync server internally. (It doesn't have to be anywhere; in fact, if you can keep it on a separate server, all the better.) Always put the latest/greatest datfile on your rsync server. Run a cronjob as frequently as you'd like (once a day, once an hour, whatever) on your rsync server to grab the latest datfile from the Internet. Also set up cronjobs on each of your hosts (where the datfile needs to be kept up-to-date) to use the rsync protocol to grab this very same datfile from your rsync server and install locally. Rsync is very good at optimizing traffic. I don't think I could give a good enough description of it here. Another approach would be to set up cfengine. There may be others. To save possible repetition, I recommend you check out www.infrastructures.org.

Message-ID: <1041632344.12672.8.camel@tech03.toronto.drive-megawheels.net> Hello, I've got 2 remote nagios servers that do all the service checks, and one central server that accepts the data from the remote servers,displays the info, sends the alerts. I've got a group of systems I want to monitor as a hostgroup, but some of the systems are accessible from one remote system, and the rest from the other remote system. My question is, is it possible to have each remote system have a hostgroup containing the hosts it can check, and then on the central server have one hostgroup that includes hosts from each, all using the same name. Would this then group them properly in the html display? Any ideas/comments/etc. would be appreciated. -Sean ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From rburnson at cps.k12.il.us Fri Jan 3 23:34:39 2003 From: rburnson at cps.k12.il.us (Burnson, Richard) Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 16:34:39 -0600 Subject: question about host groups and distributed mon itoring. Message-ID: That should work out fine for you. Just keep in mind what will happen if one of those remote servers goes down or can't communicate with the central server. If the central server cannot then actively check those services you will be better off following the documentation for distributed servers and use the "staleservice.sh" script for the service check on the central server. More info can be found about this in the Nagios docs (distributed.html).

I've got a group of systems I want to monitor as a hostgroup, but some of the systems are accessible from one remote system, and the rest from the other remote system. My question is, is it possible to have each remote system have a hostgroup containing the hosts it can check, and then on the central server have one hostgroup that includes hosts from each, all using the same name. Would this then group them properly in the html display? Any ideas/comments/etc. would be appreciated. -Sean ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From gwichman at zantaz.com Fri Jan 3 23:45:44 2003 From: gwichman at zantaz.com (Gerald Wichmann) Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 14:45:44 -0800 Subject: Nagios centralized server BUG??? Message-ID: <12C7D768CC8ED4118A9200508BEEC6FB02CB4117@zanexch.zantaz.com> Well I'm about to give up and install this central server on another box. Running it on RH8 and it's driving me nuts. I have 1 central server accepting only passive service checks. Also 2 distributed servers which submit passive checks to the centralized server's nsca daemon. Watching /var/log/messages I can clearly see all the EXTERNAL COMMANDS being submitted exactly as I'd expect them to. All services are reporting and showing up OK including Ping. Yet when I look at "host detail" or "service detail" something doesn't mesh.. Either there's a bug in nagios or I seriously have something wacky going on here.. Despite the fact that all services report ok, under "host details" I have a variety of servers showing up as RED/DOWN.. Last Check is recent. Status Information is always "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds". Status is either UNREACHABLE (most of them), or DOWN (1 of them). Ok so I click on "service details".. over there all services report "OK" and green. For some odd reason the Ping services are old in the last checked column. Like 7 hours.. Even though I can watch /var/log/messages and see that I'm receiving PING updates as OK regularly.. The other services mostly have recent updates but there are a lot of them that are 1,2, and even 3 hours out of date. Why is my services detail page so out of date? Someone points out that I may have multiple nagios servers running on the machine and well yes that's partially true. Initially when I start nagios it spawns one nagios -d process but soon they start to multiply. Long term I have seen them climb up to 4000 which seems excessive to me. Far as I can tell they don't reduce in numbers nor do they seem to go much higher then 4000. We're running netsaint in a much larger distributed environment here checking hundreds and hundreds of services and it also spawns multiple netsaint processes.. but not as many.. seems to top out usually around 500.. so as far as I can tell this behavior of multiple processes is normal. So what the hell is going on here? Does anyone out there run a distributed environment with a centralized server?

Above will do if you have enough bandwidth. But (there is always a but), some hosts i want to check have a bandwidth limit of 33k6. For these hosts i don't want a daily update (or more). For these hosts there is a weekly cronjob now. But virus-dat files can be get updates more than once a week (normal once a week). A nagios check (lets say 4 times a day), would only cost 100kb (?) of data communication. But with this check i could see of the datfile on one of these host is uptodate. If the check would go on ERROR (2 or more version behind), a manual update of these hosts is wanted (the organization policy is uptodate, but 1 version behind wouldn't kill me :) The bandwidth problem is why i want the check. > jc > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Lennard Bakker [mailto:bakkerl at lamp.xs4all.nl] > > Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 6:18 PM > > To: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] parameters for service checks from > outside > > nagios > > > > > > nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.netOn Thu, 2003-01-02 at > > 17:45, Carroll, > > Jim P [Contractor] wrote: > > > I'm not entirely sure how you're retrieving the datfiles, > > but it might make > > > sense to run a plugin locally on the remote systems in > > question.

It's quite thrifty with bandwidth. >From the man page: [quote] rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does, but has many more options and uses the rsync remote-update protocol to greatly speed up file transfers when the destination file already exists. The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the differences between two sets of files across the network link, using an efficient checksum-search algorithm described in the technical report that accompanies this package. [end quote] So, let's say you have an 800KB datfile, and every day the vendor adds another 5KB to the end of the file. Only that difference will get transferred, not the entire file. Even if the vendor added 50KB per day, you're still under the proposed 100KB that you speculate Nagios will cost you (even taking the rsync remote-update protocol overhead into consideration).

Message-ID: I tried running Nagios on RH 8.0 as well. (Part of my plan to setup a distributed system, see previous e-mail) I left the existing server running RH 7.2, and on a duplicate machine with the exact same hardware I installed RH 8.0. (Dual 1 Ghz processes and 1 GB RAM, in the same model server) I installed nagios and moved the configs over from the 7.2 box. While the 7.2 box has run w/o a hitch for 1.5 years, the RH 8.0 box would run out of memory and the kernel would kill the nagios process(es). So I blew away Rh 8.0 and installed 7.2 on the box, and was able to run the Nagios setup the same as the original. Not sure what gives, but it seems like 8.0 has some bugs in it that red Hat needs to still work out. So my recommendation is to run it on 7.2 or 7.3 until 8.x is stable.

Well I'm about to give up and install this central server on another box. Running it on RH8 and it's driving me nuts. I have 1 central server accepting only passive service checks. Also 2 distributed servers which submit passive checks to the centralized server's nsca daemon. Watching /var/log/messages I can clearly see all the EXTERNAL COMMANDS being submitted exactly as I'd expect them to. All services are reporting and showing up OK including Ping. Yet when I look at "host detail" or "service detail" something doesn't mesh.. Either there's a bug in nagios or I seriously have something wacky going on here.. Despite the fact that all services report ok, under "host details" I have a variety of servers showing up as RED/DOWN.. Last Check is recent. Status Information is always "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds". Status is either UNREACHABLE (most of them), or DOWN (1 of them). Ok so I click on "service details".. over there all services report "OK" and green. For some odd reason the Ping services are old in the last checked column. Like 7 hours.. Even though I can watch /var/log/messages and see that I'm receiving PING updates as OK regularly.. The other services mostly have recent updates but there are a lot of them that are 1,2, and even 3 hours out of date. Why is my services detail page so out of date? Someone points out that I may have multiple nagios servers running on the machine and well yes that's partially true. Initially when I start nagios it spawns one nagios -d process but soon they start to multiply. Long term I have seen them climb up to 4000 which seems excessive to me. Far as I can tell they don't reduce in numbers nor do they seem to go much higher then 4000. We're running netsaint in a much larger distributed environment here checking hundreds and hundreds of services and it also spawns multiple netsaint processes.. but not as many.. seems to top out usually around 500.. so as far as I can tell this behavior of multiple processes is normal. So what the hell is going on here? Does anyone out there run a distributed environment with a centralized server?

Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB014E1214@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> Yes, those plugins (among others) only work on the 'local' host. You need a way to install those plugins on the remote host, execute them remotely, then return the relevant data to the Nagios server. You *could* use check_by_ssh to do the remote execution/retrieval. Great for a secure way of doing things, but won't scale well in the long run (assuming you have hundreds and hundreds of remote checks to do). Take a look at NRPE, which is quite popular. NSCA is another alternative, but not the only one.

Again, I'm monitoring a bunch of routers. All I'm doing is pinging them, so I've got 1 service per host, which does host-check-alive. I've set the retry_check_interval to 1. interval_length is set to 60. max_check_attempts is set to 3. Theoretically (without host checking enabled), it should wait 3 mintues to generate an alert. However, since host checking is enabled, whenever the ping service fails, it automatically starts the host check. I also have the max_check_attempts for host checking set to 3, but there is no option as to what the retry_check_interval could be for host checking, so it just checks 3 in a row. This pretty much hoses my logic for checking services. I've got many different customers with routers going down and coming up, and I'm getting floods of e-mail notifications because of it. I'd like to, in the end, have a notification sent only if the router has been down for 3 minutes straight (which is implimented in the service checking, but hosed anyway since host checking overrides service checking and lacks the retry_check_interval feature of the service checking). Any ideas on how I can resolve this? I'm sure it's probably something I'm doing wrong. If it's not, the only thing I could think of is doing an event handler that just sits for a minute or two before checking again, but of course that could be hosed by host_check_timeout, and also the regular interval of service checks... It gets very confusing thinking about it all. =) Thanks for any help, Jordan ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com Fri Jan 3 22:44:00 2003 From: jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com (Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]) Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 15:44:00 -0600 Subject: Quick "escalation" question Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F24C8@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> > is it necessary to define an escalation for EVERY Service of > every host > in the escalation.cfg?? if I want all pages for all problems for a > specific box sent to the same contact group then can I get away with > just a host escalation?

(If the UPS has a network interface and SNMP support, this might be a better approach.)

The plugin is returining an exit code of 2 when it is run locally, but check_by_ssh is returning an exit code of 0. Does nobody else have this problem? Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious. I have a number of things monitored by check_by_ssh. Even when the remote plugin exits with an error code other than 0, nagios shows OK leading me to believe that check_by_ssh is returning error code 0 regardless. I am using 1.3 beta 2 of the plugins and nagios 1.0. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Thanks. Here are two examples of checks that are returning OK when they shouldn't: # 'check_remote_mem' command definition define command{ command_name check_remote_mem command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -f -l sysadmin -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "~/plugins/check_mem.pl -u -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$" } # 'check_remote_ps_proc' command definition define command{ command_name check_remote_ps_proc command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -f -l sysadmin -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "~/plugins/check_psproc.pl $ARG1$ $ARG2$" } - -- Blair Rampling ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From chocklehot at clan-union.com Sat Jan 4 05:21:48 2003 From: chocklehot at clan-union.com (Charles) Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 23:21:48 -0500 Subject: Need help Message-ID: Could anyone help me that speaks french or english, It is simple configuration...

Therefore, it relies on your underlying operating system to determine what MTA it uses. You didn't mention what OS you're running, so troubleshooting from here is difficult at best. Most *NIX OS's have a method of specifying how mail is sent and delivered, and you'll need to check that for your particular OS. It should probably be using /var/qmail/bin/sendmail (if you installed via LWQ). If you give us more details, we can probably help further.

Any ideas? I've read through the documentation, and saw the special things you have to do to get reports on tcp wrapped services, (although with xinetd off, any attempt to connect to the ports is refused, and I would think nagios could pick that up without jumping through all those hoops). I also am monitoring a win2k server running IMAP, and imap on this server never reports errors either, even though I don't think win2k has any sort of service like tcp wrappers... so its probably some simple configuration issue I overlooked.. let me know.

Checking MS Domains (simulating a 9x client logon to check health of DCs/File servers etc) Message-ID: <20030106103027.A93063@IPAustralia.Gov.AU> Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to ask how, if it is done at all, do people check the health of MS/Samba Domains ? Why bother ? Good point. The MS Domain and file servers are highly available. There is a good case for not monitoring since they seldom fail. However, if there is any interest in doing so I have some code that should reveals faults in a Domain/File server by simulating a 9x workstations actions in logging onto a domain ie - broadcast /MAILSLOT/NET/NETLOGON to get list of DCs - do a session setup with IPC$s share on one of them, calling NetWkStaLogon to get the name of the Lanman logon script - download the Lanman logon script from the NETLOGON share - randomly select a share from one of the 'NET USE' statements in the logon script - try a session setup with that share If all this works, I am fairly confident the Domain is Ok (though some of the member servers could be cactus). The code is/or will be in the form of a Perl XS that wraps calls to the SMB function in libsmbclient (supplied with Samba 2.2.x, or the equivalent libraries in Samba-TNG. You must have these libraries installed - they are not part of the default Samba head install). The code is actually good because so little of it comes from me !

It is nice to see that even FreeBSD fans seem to be confident in the reliability of Microsoft Windows' domain implementation and its stability ;-) However, I think it is useful to monitor its operation nonetheless. What I use now is the check_wins plugin to see whether the domain is available. The code your are describing does a lot more than that, as it actually tries to use the domain functionality. I see this as a great improvement, and it goes without saying that I am interested in working on this plugin together. One thing I would like to see added is support for VBS functions in the logon script. In the old days we used 'net use' statements as well, but in the new version of the logon script, we use mainly VBS functions like 'objWshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive'. If you want to have these covered as well, I can provide you with all the info you require. It should not be a big change.

I have seen some weird stuff happening as well when I was porting our Netsaint installation to Nagios a few weeks ago. If I recall correctly, I had a passive service check defined as follows: check_period 24x7 check_command check_ping As you can see, this is wrong, as this service check should never be executed actively. So I changed the configuration of those services to: check_period none check_command check_ping I restarted the service, but the strange thing was that these changes did not take effect. The service was still checked with check_ping. I stopped the service, waited and started it again: same thing: the changes were not applied. After double checking everything, I had to cut this service from the services file, restart Nagios, verify that the service was gone, paste the exact same code in place again, and restart Nagios yet another time. This time the changes were applied. As I pasted the same configuration (cut and paste), I'm pretty confident that it is a bug. As I was quite busy at that time, I couldn't find the time to post it here, and I forgot. But now that you post this similar behavior, I think that this should get some more attention. Anyone else experienced similar oddities?

There is no Host Retry Interval. I thought this was strange and checked the old Netsaint documentation as I thought it was available then, but not. It would seem that having a Host Retry Interval similar to the Service retry_interval would be a good thing to have. I would rather have Nagios recheck after a set interval instead of immediately. This way it gives the network a chance to recover, in the case of remote monitoring which we do a lot of. Just a thought... -- Todd A.

I have it installed and working properly on FreeBSD 4.7. The only problem I seem to be experiencing is with the statusmap.cgi page. I have pictures to display the different hosts I am monitoring. It seems that the pictures do not seem to be showing up on the 1st status map page. They only appear as transparent pics outlined in a black lined box. When you mouse over the transparent pic the status shows the picture, but the one on the map itself never seems to appear. Has anyone experienced this? I have GD installed and the other graphics libraries but it doesn't seem to be working. Also... When I try to run a report on the trends.. It shows the Up, Down, Unreachable with dotted black lines, but never reports if the host/service was up or down. Are these problems related to each other? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hard drive in my netsaint machine died a horrible death, so I finally took the plunge and installed Nagios 1.0. It's working very well so far, except for one thing that is driving me nuts. Services are just.. vanishing. I can't really describe it in words, so here's a URL for a screenshot: http://www.pbp.net/~jnichols/images/nagios_before.jpg Notice that there are 60 services. When I click "Service Detail" (or any of the options, really..) it changes. The number of services drops down to only 52. Services drop off of multiple machines. http://www.pbp.net/~jnichols/images/nagios_after.jpg is what it looks like afterwards. If I right click the frame and choose "Reload," the correct information will show up - sometimes. When the page auto refreshes, sometimes the information shows up, but usually not.

All but 2 of my hosts are not reachable by the central nagios server, thus when it attempts to do a host check it of course comes back as UNREACHABLE in most cases. Problem is the FAQ below doesn't tell you what to do about it. Modify my check-host-alive command definition? To what in the case of a centralized server only accepting passive service checks? Or is it simply more appropriate to disable and ignore UNREACHABLE statuses? My centralized server gets all checks from 2 distributed servers and cannot directly check any hosts due to firewalls. Methinks the Nagios documentation could use a bit more clarification on this type of configuration.. Appreciate any help Title: Notifications about hosts being DOWN or UNREACHABLE when they are UP FAQ ID: F0016 Submitted By: Ethan Galstad Last Updated: 07/24/2002 Description: User is receiving notifications about hosts being in certain states (i.e. DOWN or UNREACHABLE), when they are really in a different state (i.e. UP). This seems to be one of the most common problems for new user of Nagios. Most all of the time this problem is due to an incorrect command definition for the host check command you specified in the host definition. Solution: Make sure that the host check command in your host definition is configured correctly. The host check command is not a service - it is part of the host definition. Also, the host check command is not executed at regular intervals like a service is. Rather, it is executed only when Nagios finds it necessary to check the status of the host. Important! Just because you have a service that is monitoring ping statistics for a host does not mean that the actual host status is being checked. The status of a host is only checked when a service check results in a non-OK state or if the host was previously down and a service check results in an OK state. Some symptoms of incorrect host check commands include: 1. Hosts incorrectly being listed as DOWN 2. Hosts incorrectly being listed as UNREACHABLE 3. Alternating alerts/notifications about host problems and recoveries Related FAQs: F0015 Hosts are incorrectly listed as being DOWN or UNREACHABLE Keywords: host down unreachable up incorrect wrong notification Gerald Wichmann Senior Systems Development Engineer Zantaz, Inc. 925.598.3099 (w) This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.

It would seem that having a Host Retry Interval similar to the Service retry_interval would be a good thing to have. I would rather have Nagios recheck after a set interval instead of immediately. This way it gives the network a chance to recover, in the case of remote monitoring which we do a lot of. Just a thought... -- Todd A.

If you're using the default check-host-alive, and if that is still configured to use the default check_ping in checkcommands.cfg, that could be your problem. You might want to set up a check-host-dummy to utilize the check_dummy plugin. (Of course, I could be completely off-base, since I've never set up passives, but... give it a try?)

Message-ID: 1) It seems that when a service goes from a WARNING to CRITICAL state, I'm not getting a notification. Basically, I would like warnings to go to opteam only, and criticals/unknowns to go to oncall only - which is how my current config is setup. Basically, for a warning, there's no reason to wake someone up in the middle of the night - it can be dealt with in the morning. But criticals should be sent to the oncall pager. 2) I'd also like the recovery messages to go to the correct group ONLY - warning recoveries to opteam only and critical recoveries to oncall only. Currently warning recoveries go to opteam, but critical recoveries go to opteam & oncall. I have read the notifications document (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html) and it seems that a switch from WARNING to CRITICAL would satisfy both conditions of "(1) a notification was already sent out about a problem with the host or service at some point in the past and (2) the host or service has remained in the same non-OK state that it was when the last notification went out." because WARNING and CRITICAL are NOT the same non-OK state. Any help would be appreciated.

If the service check fails, Nagios will attempt to do the host check. Once the host check recovers, Nagios resumes the service checks. However, you've removed that host checking ability, so you may find that the service check stays critical, despite the fact that a manual check reveals otherwise. You might want to define a special case host check, call it something like check-host-dummy and define the appropriate command in checkcommands.cfg to use the check_dummy plugin. Just to reiterate, for any given host, you can only have one host check, but you can have any number of service checks. A host check can be completely arbitrary, but by default is configured to use check-host-alive, which in checkcommands.cfg relates to the check_ping plugin. This is something that confused me a bit at first, so you're not alone. :) Food for thought. jc -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Wichmann [mailto:gwichman at zantaz.com] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 12:59 PM To: Nagios (E-mail) Subject: [Nagios-users] Notifications about hosts being DOWN or UNREACHABL E when they are UP Ok I think after some reading the trick is to remove the check_command statement in hosts.cfg for those servers that cannot be directly checked by the centralized server. I thought all checks were done/defined by the services.cfg file but apparently not. Common newbie misunderstanding I guess. Helps to read deeper into how nagios actually works. Seems to be working well now though I'll have to make sure when a service check goes red, so does that particular respective host.

For example, when Nagios/Netsaint can't find an optional library or its headers - absolutely mandatory to link against - I would recommend something like 1 rerun configure like so ./configure 2>&1 > configure.out.$$ 2 grep -3 -i jpeg configure.out.nnnn > junk grep -3 -i gd configure.out.nnn >> junk and post the file named 'junk' with the problem report If that's too hard or too much work, then at least post the summary from configure (the last 15 lines of its output). Be aware of what configure is doing: it attempts to locate files by looking in known paths for them. If it finds them it compiles a two line C program to make sure that the headers and libraries are usable. If either part of the process fails, then the optional library (gd, openssl, net-snmp etc etc) won't be used. Also configure is only another program; it too can have bugs. > Any suggestions? > > Thanks > > Rob Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

For example, I don't want alerts about an HTTP service being down on a host if the host isn't pingable. So far, the only way I've found to do this is to set it up for each host individually. That would be difficult with the hundreds of hosts that my nagios is currently monitoring. I tried creating a servicedependency object with a hostgroup_name and a dependent_hostgroup_name. This seems to make each host in hostgroup_name dependent on EVERY host in dependent_hostgroup_name. For example, if my hostgroup has 7 hosts in it, it seems it's making each of those 7 hosts dependent on each other, making 7x7=49 dependencies. (Stragely, Nagios reports 98 dependencies. Why 2x?) Any suggestions on how to make a service dependencies local to each host and not a group of hosts without lots and lots of dependency objects?

I've gotten a lot of requests for this feature and I understand that it makes configuring things on the central server much easier. However, because of the security implications this will have, I will also be doing the following: 1. Incorporate encryption similar to NSCA that gives the NRPE daemon some assurance of a trust level with the client 2. Strip all potentially dangerous shell metacharacters from the arguments before they're passed to the plugin for exection Incorporating crypto into NRPE will affect performance a bit, but it will still probably scale better than check_by_ssh. If the user decides to disable native crypto support (and tunnel traffic through stunnel, etc. instead), the NRPE daemon will refuse to accept arguments for plugins unless the user specifically supplies a --dont- blame-nrpe option to the configure script before compiling. If the daemon gets compiled with this option, it will loudly complain in the logs and elsewhere that is running in an insecure mode. Does this approach sound reasonable to people?

We have a significant number of Unix hosts that we are monitoring. Currently, I am using a customised/hacked version of netsaint_statd to provide monitoring of disk, mem, cpu, load etc on these hosts. However, the new plugins that have just been release have some interesting new features that I would like to implement monitoring for on the Unix hosts. Do I continue to hack netsaint_statd to add this functionality ? We have deviated significantly from the original Perl version and the maintenance and upkeep of this script versus moving to the new nagios_statd is a factor. Why python for nagios_statd ? Do I look at implementing an NRPE solution ? My reading of the recent discussions on NRPE is that it is not quite as expandable/customisable as the netsaint_statd solution. Coordination of the plugins installed on all those Unix hosts would be a nightmare. Different flavours, versions, etc Do I make local scripts and use NSCA to parse the results ? Management of security for hosts authorised to send results. Management of the local scripts would not be quite as large an issue as the plugins installed on all hosts. Comments welcome as I would like to start implementing the expansion of our monitoring shortly. Thanks.

Actually, those process-checking tests work on and off - usually they start working after you restart identd or the nrpe if you run it as a standalone daemon. The diskspace checking works dandy; check the mountpoints. I'm not sure if restarting inetd solving the process-checking problem actually makes sense... I'm just thinking how inetd again worked; aren't the nrpe configs read and nrpe started everytime nrpe is called by inetd?

Message-ID: Hi all, I know db support is "probably" going to be removed from the core (http://www.nagios.org/upcoming.php) , but I believe that the plan is that it will still be possible via the event daemon. I understand that the current implementation of db code needs to be looked at, and the planned method means that development and testing of the core is simplified significantly. Hopefully the required addons will still be developed as I feel it would be a monumental mistake to remove db support entirely (or let it stagnate). DB support is vastly underrated. It enables seamless distributed/ failover monitoring, as well as common downtime information for large sites where multiple monitors are required. Config in a db also simplifies failover and distributed monitoring as well as making delegated administration as easy as it is going to get ( again for larger sites where administration is devolved out to other groups etc). DB support also makes custom interfaces a breeze. The move to php for the cgi will also significantly simplify db usage as well as simplify custom interfaces. The new way of doing things may even make it simple to add oracle db support. Just my 2 cents :) Grae Noble Infrastructure, Communication and Information Services, University Services Division University of Newcastle, NSW Phone: +61 2 4921 7875 Fax: +61 2 4921 7087 Grae.Noble at newcastle.edu.au Room: CT216 >>> "Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]" 01/07/03 09:53am >>> I believe it's been discussed.

I've gotten a lot of requests for this feature and I understand that it makes configuring things on the central server much easier. However, because of the security implications this will have, I will also be doing the following: 1. Incorporate encryption similar to NSCA that gives the NRPE daemon some assurance of a trust level with the client 2. Strip all potentially dangerous shell metacharacters from the arguments before they're passed to the plugin for exection Incorporating crypto into NRPE will affect performance a bit, but it will still probably scale better than check_by_ssh. If the user decides to disable native crypto support (and tunnel traffic through stunnel, etc. instead), the NRPE daemon will refuse to accept arguments for plugins unless the user specifically supplies a --dont- blame-nrpe option to the configure script before compiling. If the daemon gets compiled with this option, it will loudly complain in the logs and elsewhere that is running in an insecure mode. Does this approach sound reasonable to people?

We had to comment out the following pice of code in the check_ntp plugin: # An offset of 0.000000 with an error is probably bogus. Actually, # it's probably always bogus, but let's be paranoid here. if ($offset == 0) { undef $offset;} We are using check_ntp to watch for the time difference on our server which are all NTP-Clients. Some times Nagios reported an error, because of a zero-offset. At the moment I can't overview why this check should be done.

I would prefer them to be in that state rather than "pending". The only way to do this seems to be to mannually, via the GUI, supply OK passive check results for the services. Is there a way to get Nagios to automatically create these services with OK state on startup automatically? I've scoured the service object config... I'm using check_dummy returning 0 (OK) as a service check, but seeing as it is never actually scheduled, nothing will return. I've also tried changing the service to a valid time period and put both 'active_checks_enabled 0' and 'passive_checks_enabled 1' in but the service still stays as "pending". The only thing I have thought of so far is changing the service to retain state information and then submitting check results by hand. Ideally I would like the OK to be assumed without having to submit results by hand thou. The whole reason for this is because availability and associated reports show the services as spending 99% of their time in undetermined time. Thanks in advance for any leads anyone might have.

Message-ID: <20030107150303.60421.qmail@web80304.mail.yahoo.com> I have a hacker challenge -- maybe... I've read the phobic posts about Red Hat 8.0, but I haven't seen anything that looks like my problem, RH 8.0 or otherwise: My problem is that the nsca daemon, when handling a remote network request from send_nsca, gives the following error: Jan 7 08:27:38 XXXX nsca[8827]: Handling the connection... Jan 7 08:27:38 XXXX nsca[8827]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'laptop', Service Description: 'BOGUS', Return Code: '2', Output: 'Error Message goes here' Jan 7 08:27:38 XXXX nsca[8827]: Command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd ' does not exist, attempting to use alternate dump file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump' for output Jan 7 08:27:38 XXXX nsca[8827]: Could not open alternate dump file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump' for appending Jan 7 08:27:38 XXXX nsca[8827]: End of connection... I've configured the user/group for both nagios and the nsca daemons to be 'nagios/nagios'. All of /usr/local/nagios is user/group nagios.nagios. The permissions are correct (I'm 99%) sure, because all of the external command CGI's work perfectly; also, su-ed to the nagios user, I can echo commands >> to the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd file and they show up fine both in the log and in the web interface.... I have tried compiling the 1.06b and 1.0 versions of nagios, the 2.1 and latest CVS build of nsca, mix-matching them in all combinations. I have set the permissions on the "rw" directory both by hand (setting the group, the S bit on the group level, etc...) and with the "install-commandmode" make option; I've also tried chmoding the file with "chmod 777" after it gets created when nagios starts and there is the same error. The fact that I can echo commands in locally as the "nagios" user and get good results seems to probably show that its neither a permissions issue or anything with the passive/external command interface. Maybe this is a bug with nsca itself? As an aside, I cannot get the alternate dump file to work either. Touching the nagios.dump file ahead of time, and setting wide open permissions makes no difference. (I'm assuming that the dump file is supposed to be a regular text file -- not a FIFO named pipe like the command file, right??) I'm stumped... but I'm also surprised that I'm seeing something that hasn't popped up for someone else already. Any help will bring you praise, beer, pizza, cookies or whatever tithe you demand.

It seems to me that you have several options to work with though. First, and easiest if you are OK with the services being in a pending state is to specify an initial state of OK during the report generation phase. Secondly, you could specify a service check for those services that simply returns an OK and give it a really long normal_check_interval. You may need to play with the service_interleave_factor to get the checks to execute quickly. A final option and probably more robust would be to specify a service check that looks at the status.sav file to see if the service is currently in a PENDING state and submit an OK result if so. That check could execute at a more normal interval and shouldn't be much of an impact at all. -- Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: Dennis Cannell [mailto:dennis.cannell at itouch.ie] > Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 8:11 AM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting inital state of passive services > > > Hi, > > I have Nagios up and running recieving SNMP traps via passive services > (scheduled on no-time-periods, to work around that "disabled" indicator in > the TAC Overview) > > I would like to set inital states of OK for each of the passive SNMP trap > services.

The problem is that when i installed the Nagios software the installation didn?t create the etc folder, but thats not the problem, the real problem is that i can?t see any of the cfg files that I need. I tried copying the cfg files that are in installation folder and that at a first glance they looked fine, like the nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg, but there are others like the hosts.cfg that I really don?t now what information they need inside of it, or others like the resource.cfg, I understand that some of them you have to created them but there are others like the hosts.cfg that the plugin requires you that I don?t now what kind of information I need, I all ready read the manual but I can?t see anything that could help me.

TIA, Richard -----Original Message----- From: Burnson, Richard Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 3:53 PM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Distributed Monitoring I am trying to setup distributed monitoring with Nagios 1.0 (Stable) on RedHat 7.2.? I have the nsca daemon running on the central server, and I have been able to successfully send a service check result via nsca-send from the distributed server.? The issue appears to be that the distributed server is not executing the ocsp_command.? Here are the settings on the distributed server: 1.????? Obsess over services is enabled both globally and per service. 2.????? The ocsp_command is defined in nagios.cfg as ocsp_command=submit_check_result 3.????? "submit_check_result" is defined in the command definitions section exactly from the documentation. 4.????? The submit_check_result script was created in the libexec directory and the command definition points directly to this file. I can log in as nagios and run the submit_check_result shell script successfully, and the service check is received by the central server.?? It simply seems to be that Nagios is not executing the ocsp command with every service check.? I've tried to watch the service check as they happen via the nagios.log file and even compiled nagios with debug 3.? Is there a better way to debug this?? Anyone have any ideas on what I may be missing?

I've gotten a lot of requests for this feature and I understand that it makes configuring things on the central server much easier. However, because of the security implications this will have, I will also be doing the following: 1. Incorporate encryption similar to NSCA that gives the NRPE daemon some assurance of a trust level with the client 2. Strip all potentially dangerous shell metacharacters from the arguments before they're passed to the plugin for exection Incorporating crypto into NRPE will affect performance a bit, but it will still probably scale better than check_by_ssh. If the user decides to disable native crypto support (and tunnel traffic through stunnel, etc. instead), the NRPE daemon will refuse to accept arguments for plugins unless the user specifically supplies a --dont- blame-nrpe option to the configure script before compiling. If the daemon gets compiled with this option, it will loudly complain in the logs and elsewhere that is running in an insecure mode. Does this approach sound reasonable to people?

Actually, # it's probably always bogus, but let's be paranoid here. if ($offset == 0) { undef $offset;} We are using check_ntp to watch for the time difference on our server which are all NTP-Clients.

Message-ID: <20030107185542.370a126e.pascal@infinity.hn.org> Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to do something like a group of hostgroups: we currently have a certain number of computers attached to an array of servers, then we also have another batch of computers also attached to another array of servers. Repeat this a few times and you have our current setup. We started with the first group of machines/servers, and we assiged different hostgroups for the machines and for the servers. Now if we move on and integrate the rest of our computing resources into Nagios we face a big problem: when looking at the Services pages we have all the servers and workstations all in one page. It would be nice to create a group for each workstations/servers/"other services" pairs and have like a"tab" in the services page, each tab corresponding to a certain pair. This also is interesting from the point of view of the system managers: for each pair there's a sysadmin attached to it, and it's not useful to him to know that there's a problem on a segment he doesn't administer. Using multiple istances of Nagios is a no-go, since our current goal is to centralize as much as possible all the monitoring... I hope that my explanation/request are clear enough.. regards, Pascal -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Pascal Jermini Anything is good if it's made of chocolate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com Tue Jan 7 19:41:26 2003 From: jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com (Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]) Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 12:41:26 -0600 Subject: Setting up service dependencies Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB014E1247@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> I'm not sure why you're taking this approach. Out of the box, Nagios will behave as you wish it to. If a service check fails, then a host check is made. If the host check fails, it's flagged as down and, depending on your particular configuration, you'll receive the notification for the host being down, not for the N services you're monitoring on that host. If the host check passes, then you'll get an alert on the service. jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 6:37 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies Hello all, I'm trying to set up service dependencies in Nagios. For example, I don't want alerts about an HTTP service being down on a host if the host isn't pingable. So far, the only way I've found to do this is to set it up for each host individually. That would be difficult with the hundreds of hosts that my nagios is currently monitoring. I tried creating a servicedependency object with a hostgroup_name and a dependent_hostgroup_name. This seems to make each host in hostgroup_name dependent on EVERY host in dependent_hostgroup_name. For example, if my hostgroup has 7 hosts in it, it seems it's making each of those 7 hosts dependent on each other, making 7x7=49 dependencies. (Stragely, Nagios reports 98 dependencies. Why 2x?) Any suggestions on how to make a service dependencies local to each host and not a group of hosts without lots and lots of dependency objects?

I know I've come across docs on how to write them before. Off the top of my head: - return a single line to stdout (<1024 bytes) - use return codes of 0 (OK), 1 (warning) and 2 (critical) - reference other plugins (eg, check_tcp --help) for examples Returning a useful string will make looking at your Nagios web site nicer. If you're writing a plugin to check a temperature sensor and all it returns is GOOD or BAD, that doesn't really tell you the current temperature.

For example, a simple test to see if a webserver can serve a static HTML can fail, and if that's the case then checking to see if the webserver will return a PHP page is obviously not going to work.

For example, I don't want alerts about an HTTP service being down on a host if the host isn't pingable. So far, the only way I've found to do this is to set it up for each host individually. That would be difficult with the hundreds of hosts that my nagios is currently monitoring. I tried creating a servicedependency object with a hostgroup_name and a dependent_hostgroup_name. This seems to make each host in hostgroup_name dependent on EVERY host in dependent_hostgroup_name. For example, if my hostgroup has 7 hosts in it, it seems it's making each of those 7 hosts dependent on each other, making 7x7=49 dependencies. (Stragely, Nagios reports 98 dependencies. Why 2x?) Any suggestions on how to make a service dependencies local to each host and not a group of hosts without lots and lots of dependency objects?

I'm getting the old "Nagios may not be running" error with the CGI's, and I'll be damned if I can see why. I have: * Run the nagios_check_command manually from the command line, which works perfectly * Shortened the '-C' value in said command to just 'nagios', which I've had to do on another handful of installations * Verified that permissions/ownerships are fine with the config files, the status log, and the check_nagios command * Changed the nagios_check_command to use 'check_dummy 0', and it STILL thinks nagios isn't running (?!) * Stopped nagios, made sure all processes have died, and restarted it * Stopped nagios, made sure all processes have died, deleted all the log files, and restarted it * Rebooted the machine just to make sure (well, it DID have a 517 day uptime) * Used check_nagios both with flags and without, ie: /home/nagios/libexec/check_nagios /home/nagios/var/status.log 5 \ '/home/nagios/bin/nagios' and /home/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F /home/nagios/var/status.log \ -e 5 -C '/home/nagios/bin/nagios' No matter what I've tried, I have exactly the same problem. The CGI's all display the "Warning: Monitoring process may not be running!" error, and the process info displays an UNKNOWN state, with "Nagios check command did not return any output." I'm boggled. This is a pretty big annoyance for me, as we use the web interface / command mode pretty heavily. This is on an OpenBSD 2.8 machine. Can someone, _anyone_, point out the error of my (or Nagios') ways? I'm pulling my hair out faster than it's falling out, and trust me, that's pretty fast. ;) Thanks!

I know it's nit-picky, but I'd like to be able to do this so I can have the unused IPs nested under the "Unused IP" pseudo-host entry (from the Service Detail page).

For what it's worth, I am running Netsaint and Nagios on three separate machines, six total instances, and I've never seen this one. All of the instances are running on OpenBSD, from 2.8 to 3.2.

Message-ID: <12C7D768CC8ED4118A9200508BEEC6FB02CB412D@zanexch.zantaz.com> Been reading 3ware's documentation and it's not entirely clear to me what the best way is to monitor for warnings and errors. They have a neat web page tool that you can connect directly to the box and see the status of things. But that's fairly useless in integrating it with nagios. They do let you configure it to email an account if there's an error or problem. So that seems like one potential method. Setup a 3ware admin account and if it ever gets any email, throw up a critical notification to nagios. Might be tricky since I don't know what these emails look like as far as parsing them for some appropriate output to pass to nagios and differentiating a warning from an error. Lastly theres an extended log file which I believe only gets created or appended to when there is an error of some sort. I could monitor to see if that file ever appears, and if it does just cat whatever is in it as output, and throw a critical.. again problem being I've never seen whats in one.. Anyone monitoring 3ware adapters for errors/warnings using nagios? I'd love to know how you're doing it and perhaps get code from you..

I don't know if your way even works.... AFAIK you can't use more than one other than via inheritance as Donavan says but remember not to register your templates and also that the templates cannot be used as services. You can of course take it further if you require different types of say ping buy making your generic-ping a service. This means you'll need to define: generic-service : top level template generic-ping : uses generic-service - also a template some-special-ping : uses generic-ping - actual service other-special-ping : uses generic-ping - actual service etc. hope this helps too rue ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From sean.knox at sbcglobal.net Wed Jan 8 02:16:22 2003 From: sean.knox at sbcglobal.net (Sean Knox) Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 17:16:22 -0800 Subject: Apan and rrd permissions In-Reply-To: <12C7D768CC8ED4118A9200508BEEC6FB02CB412D@zanexch.zantaz.com> References: <12C7D768CC8ED4118A9200508BEEC6FB02CB412D@zanexch.zantaz.com> Message-ID: <3E1B7BE6.6090508@sbcglobal.net> Does anyone know which user accesses the rrd files through apan?

I have added extend host information into a file and referenced this file in the config file. I know the extended host information is working as the hosts appear in the web interface with the icons I have put in. However going to the 3D status map shows a blank screen if I let set default_statuswrl_layout to either 2,3 or 4. If I set it to 0 and specify coordinates for the icons the 3D status map tells me I have not specified any coordinates and to consult the FAQ. I really don't know where I maybe going wrong as I was able to get this to work in Netsaint but since switching to Nagios I can't. I am sure there are no configuration file options I have missed to enable to 3D status map, in fact I am sure by default this is already enabled as standard.

In the latter case it might help to restart the NSClient-Service. (But from the code I can see that NSClient *builds* the actual perf-counter at the moment the query arrives over the net and *destroys* it after the query is done.

The same services are running on each interface and I'd like to be notified if any interface fails. I can do this by creating multiple host entries (and I am doing it this way right now). define host { host_name myhost-eth0 address 192.168.1.1 } define host { host_name myhost-eth1 address 192.168.2.1 } But what I'd really like to do is something like this define host { host_name myhost address 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1 } Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. I've also tried define host { host_name myhost address 192.168.1.1 address 192.168.2.1 } But as near as I can tell the second address overrides the first address. I couldn't find an answer in the FAQ, mailing list archive, or online documentation.

[obeauche at mrtg libexec]# ./check_ifoperstatus -H x.x.x.x -C foobar -d Serial0/0 OK: Interface Serial0/0 (index 1) is up.[obeauche at mrtg libexec]# With the same arguments in the service.cfg file, it's working... but I get "(No output returned from plugin)" as the status.

Can Nagios add up directive definitions? What I mean is this: Our Nagios box is hooked up to the Cisco Catalyst in our server room. Since each and every host that Nagios needs to check passes through that Catalyst, it makes that a parent of all hosts. So I can create a genereic host defintion that has: define host{ name generic-host parents catalyst-server-room register 0 } However. We are monitoring devices that have to pass through other Catalysts before they reach the one in the server room. Is it then possible to create a host: define host{ host_name hostname use generic-host parents catalyst-first-floor } And will this host then have two parent hosts? Are templates that flexible?

"parents: This directive is used to define a comma-delimited list of short names of the "parent" hosts for this particular host. Parent hosts are typically routers, switches, firewalls, etc. that lie between the monitoring host and a remote hosts. A router, switch, etc. which is closest to the remote host is considered to be that host's "parent". Read the "Determining Status and Reachability of Network Hosts" document located here for more information. If this host is on the same network segment as the host doing the monitoring (without any intermediate routers, etc.) the host is considered to be on the local network and will not have a parent host. Leave this value blank if the host does not have a parent host (i.e. it is on the same segment as the Nagios host). The order in which you specify parent hosts has no effect on how things are monitored."

You can define multiple A records for a given hostname, and only specify that hostname within Nagios.

To wit, the new values for the latest config is: authorized_for_system_information=* authorized_for_configuration_information=* authorized_for_system_commands=nagiosadmin,jcarro10 authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,guest authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,guest authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin So far, so good! However, I have a few DBAs that belong to the dev-dbas contactgroup, and that contactgroup is defined in quite a few (Oracle-related) services. If one of the DBAs logs in to Nagios, the Tactical Overview lists 109 services but no (zero, zilch) hosts. Which makes sense given the permissions, really. If he clicks on Service Detail, he see alls their wonderful services listed there, and only theirs. Sweet! However, if he clicks on Host Detail (Status Overview, Status Summary, Status Grid), he gets the "It appears as though you don't have permission..." message. The Status Map is functionally useless (no hosts shown). It would be nice if the DBAs could see the hosts (only those hosts related to the services they're monitoring). The obvious solution would be to add the dev-dbas contactgroup to the relevant hosts. I have two concerns in this regard: - doing so would allow a DBA to acknowledge a host problem or put it into scheduled downtime, etc. - doing so might give the DBAs a view with services that they don't care to know about (too much clutter) SO, I was wondering if there's a way to grant them read-only access to the hosts.

Has anyone found an easier way of setting up a one host to one contact enviroment for nagios. It absolutely suck the way it is right now with the hosts,contact,contactgroup, setup now. 2. Does Nagios support includes in the config files? I would like to create one config file for each host instead of creating one type of config file for all hosts. I think this approach would be easier to manage as well as easier to automate for multiple hosts with the same characteristics but different contacts for problems. The one include file for the individual host would have all the information that would have been in all the *.cfg files. Please put some thought into this one.

However, I didn't have much luck finding those scripts with a Google search. I've currently compiled Nagios with MySQL support, but would like to comply with future Nagios releases. The developer made an excellent point with their explanation on why database support is being eliminated. I'm also interested in generating config files from a database. I've got 800+ hosts to configure. I did see someone post some code for accomplishing this. Anybody else have any luck with implementing this? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From justin_wedeking at pvamu.edu Wed Jan 8 18:30:51 2003 From: justin_wedeking at pvamu.edu (Justin Wedeking) Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 11:30:51 -0600 Subject: nrpep problem Message-ID: <010301c2b73b$c8a58780$0e38cf81@fucko> I keep getting this error, and so far have had no luck with resolving it.

You'll want to set up a service dependency, of course. Er... do you absolutely need to check for static HTML? I mean, if the PHP fails because the webserver is down.... Oh, unless you just want to be informed that there's a PHP problem but that the server itself it still up. Okay, I can see that. I've set up various NRPE dependencies at our site, so if you need a trivial example, I can post one to the list.

I still have this issue though because I have some tests that aren't going work if simpler tests fail. For example, a simple test to see if a webserver can serve a static HTML can fail, and if that's the case then checking to see if the webserver will return a PHP page is obviously not going to work.

Out of the box, Nagios will behave as you wish it to. If a service check fails, then a host check is made. If the host check fails, it's flagged as down and, depending on your particular configuration, you'll receive the notification for the host being down, not for the N services you're monitoring on that host. If the host check passes, then you'll get an alert on the service. jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 6:37 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies Hello all, I'm trying to set up service dependencies in Nagios. For example, I don't want alerts about an HTTP service being down on a host if the host isn't pingable. So far, the only way I've found to do this is to set it up for each host individually. That would be difficult with the hundreds of hosts that my nagios is currently monitoring. I tried creating a servicedependency object with a hostgroup_name and a dependent_hostgroup_name. This seems to make each host in hostgroup_name dependent on EVERY host in dependent_hostgroup_name. For example, if my hostgroup has 7 hosts in it, it seems it's making each of those 7 hosts dependent on each other, making 7x7=49 dependencies. (Stragely, Nagios reports 98 dependencies. Why 2x?) Any suggestions on how to make a service dependencies local to each host and not a group of hosts without lots and lots of dependency objects?

Not sure. I'll defer to others. 2. This is exactly what I'm doing. You may be familiar with the cfg_file directive in nagios.cfg. Depending on what version of Nagios you're using, cfg_dir is also supported. In my case, I'm simply doing: cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/configs So long as the files in that directory end in .cfg, Nagios will read them and treat them like other config files. I've set up a single config file per host. For example, abcde.cfg would deal with hostname abcde. It does mean you won't be aggregating definitions, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. You could create a file called boilerplate.cfg.example (or something equally meaningful to you) and use that as the baseline for new host definitions. I remember asking (and Ethan responded in the affirmative) whether directory recursion for cfg_dir would be supported. I don't recall which version supports it; it could be that 1.0 already has that. Based on that, you could even go the extra step, creating subdirectories for each hostname, eg, /usr/local/nagios/etc/configs/abcde, and simply add separate components (host/service definitions) to that directory (all files ending in .cfg, of course). The only host-related file that I can see you being forced into aggregating host information, would be hostgroups.cfg.

Now what bothers me is that sometimes nagios pings a systems and gives me a 20% packet loss. Now when I do a ping to the same system from the same machine using the ping command, everything seems to be just fine. I can let the ping command go for 15 minutes and I'll get no packet loss but nagios will report a 20 or 40% packet loss. It doesn't happen every day but it happens just enough to make me nervious. So is there anything wrong or any known problems, glitches. Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(Not yet, anyway. Refer to earlier thread, concluding in Ethan deciding he would add that feature into NRPE, with restrictions.) You'll need to refer to the token that you've defined in the remote host's nrpe.cfg file. So let's take a trivial example. In this example, the remote host's name is 'wingnut'. In wingnut's nrpe.cfg file, you could have the following defined: command[check_nrpe_status]=echo "OK - NRPE is alive" In this case, on the Nagios host you would run this command line test: ./check_nrpe wingnut -c check_nrpe_status (the "-p 5666" is redundant, as that's the default port) Try this fairly basic test. For one thing, it doesn't rely on plugins, so you can eliminate those as a possible problem. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Pete Dewell [mailto:pete.dewell at VoltEurope.com] > Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 11:56 AM > To: 'Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nrpe Error Message > > > Try leaving out the -H . > > Just use > > check_nrpe ..... > > P > > "Kaplan, Andrew H." wrote: > > > > The command that I entered at the monitoring host was > > > > ./check_nrpe -H oneofxeon -p 5666 -C > /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w > > 80 -c 95 > > > > The result was INCORRECT COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS SUPPLIED > > > > What gives? > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Jeremy Tinley [mailto:jtinley at unirez.com] > > Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 11:49 AM > > To: Kaplan, Andrew H. > > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Nrpe Error Message > > > > Try running the check_nrpe command from the monitoring host. > > > > check_nrpe -H -p -C check_userrs > > > > see if that gets you any further. > > > > I noticed that -H and -p were added in the change from nrpe > 1.5 to 1.6 > > > > -J > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > > [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf > Of Kaplan, > > Andrew > > H. > > Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 10:33 AM > > To: 'Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]' > > Cc: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Nrpe Error Message > > > > Things got a little better since I sent out my e-mail.

The interval between packets is configurable. So instead of waiting 10 seconds for 5 packets to timeout if something goes down, you only have a < 3 second total timeout for all 5 packets. Thereby greatly improving your system performance, even during a large outage on a large network. This is more useful for service checks, since host checks send out only one packet by default.

For security reasons, after you've completed this 'test phase', I urge you to define an unprivileged account (eg, 'nagios') and set user to nagios, as above. You might also want to add 127.0.0.1 to the only_from declaration, so that after installation, you can do a simple "telnet localhost 5666" to see if the nrpe daemon answers. Oh, and in case it hasn't been mentioned yet, you'll need to restart xinetd. A "pkill -12 xinetd" works under RH Linux 7.2.

Message-ID: <1041982283.4106.198.camel@localhost.localdomain> In researching why I too was receiving the "Nagios process may not be running" message, I came across a question. If I'm using MySQL to store my status information, will status.log ever get written to? I say no, because I've been running Nagios all day and there's no entry in this file. The check_nagios script compares the last timestamp from within this file to determining whether Nagios is running, correct? Hence, I'll always receive the warning that the status log was updated too far in the past. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From nickbernstein at sbcglobal.net Thu Jan 9 00:48:10 2003 From: nickbernstein at sbcglobal.net (Nicholas P.

For some servers, like webservers most of the services are some form of HTTP request, so I changed the check_command on the host to do a simple http request. If that fails, then the host is considered 'down' rather than just using the standard ping check. If this is 'bad' for some reason, please let me know. second question: is it possible to pass arbitrary ssh parameters to check_ssh, like "-1" for ssh v1? Doesn't appear so, but maybe there's a trick?

Oh, unless you just want to be informed that there's a PHP problem but that the server itself it still up. Okay, I can see that.

Out of the box, Nagios will behave as you wish it to. If a service check fails, then a host check is made. If the host check fails, it's flagged as down and, depending on your particular configuration, you'll receive the notification for the host being down, not for the N services you're monitoring on that host. If the host check passes, then you'll get an alert on the service. jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 6:37 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies Hello all, I'm trying to set up service dependencies in Nagios. For example, I don't want alerts about an HTTP service being down on a host if the host isn't pingable. So far, the only way I've found to do this is to set it up for each host individually. That would be difficult with the hundreds of hosts that my nagios is currently monitoring. I tried creating a servicedependency object with a hostgroup_name and a dependent_hostgroup_name. This seems to make each host in hostgroup_name dependent on EVERY host in dependent_hostgroup_name. For example, if my hostgroup has 7 hosts in it, it seems it's making each of those 7 hosts dependent on each other, making 7x7=49 dependencies. (Stragely, Nagios reports 98 dependencies. Why 2x?) Any suggestions on how to make a service dependencies local to each host and not a group of hosts without lots and lots of dependency objects?

Thanks for the response, I think solution 3 would be best for me, so I'm going to have a go at that. As it happens I've also found a stop-gap kind of measure. The passive checks are for SNMP traps. As I'm using Net-SNMP 4.2.3, and need to use a polling script to check for ErrorFlags and send traps, I just got said script to send "OK" traps when it starts up. That doesn't solve the problem when Nagios is restarted after snmpd however so I'll try solution three ;-) Cheers Dennis ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From KreigD at webex.com Thu Jan 9 13:18:31 2003 From: KreigD at webex.com (Kreig Dubose) Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2003 04:18:31 -0800 Subject: Nagios & Architecture Message-ID: Hello All- I'm a new user of the mailing list and the product and am quite excited about the program and how it can help out with my duties/responsibilities.

On to my question: Having spent the better part of this early morning searching the web and the archives I can't find anything that really relates to the Fail-over/Remote Monitoring capabilities and architecture of Nagios. Are there any good bits of information floating about regarding the Implementation Architecture for Nagios ? I'd hate to start down an bad road? Eventually this could be a multi-continent 1000 Plus machine install.

But in the case where your webserver fails but, say, sshd is still up, can the host be said to be down? Just to say that I gave you a servicedependency example, here it is: define service{ host_name itdmll01 use icmp service_description NRPE check contact_groups linux-admins check_command check_nrpe!check_nrpe_status } define service{ host_name itdmll01 use icmp service_description Total Users contact_groups linux-admins check_command check_nrpe!check_users } define servicedependency{ dependent_host_name itdmll01 dependent_service_description Total Users host_name itdmll01 service_description NRPE check execution_failure_criteria w,u,c notification_failure_criteria w,u,c } Explanation: "NRPE check" is the basic 'is NRPE up' check. "Total Users" actually kicks off a plugin on the remote host. "Total Users" is dependent on "NRPE check". If "Total Users" fails, it checks to make sure that "NRPE check" is up/down. If the latter is down, that's all I get alerted on. If it's still up, then I get alerted on the former. Does this help? jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 7:53 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies I think I found a workaround for this. For some servers, like webservers most of the services are some form of HTTP request, so I changed the check_command on the host to do a simple http request. If that fails, then the host is considered 'down' rather than just using the standard ping check. If this is 'bad' for some reason, please let me know. second question: is it possible to pass arbitrary ssh parameters to check_ssh, like "-1" for ssh v1? Doesn't appear so, but maybe there's a trick?

You'll want to set up a service dependency, of course. Er... do you absolutely need to check for static HTML? I mean, if the PHP fails because the webserver is down.... Oh, unless you just want to be informed that there's a PHP problem but that the server itself it still up. Okay, I can see that. I've set up various NRPE dependencies at our site, so if you need a trivial example, I can post one to the list. Let me know. jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 1:05 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies That's good to know. I still have this issue though because I have some tests that aren't going work if simpler tests fail. For example, a simple test to see if a webserver can serve a static HTML can fail, and if that's the case then checking to see if the webserver will return a PHP page is obviously not going to work.

Out of the box, Nagios will behave as you wish it to. If a service check fails, then a host check is made. If the host check fails, it's flagged as down and, depending on your particular configuration, you'll receive the notification for the host being down, not for the N services you're monitoring on that host. If the host check passes, then you'll get an alert on the service. jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 6:37 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies Hello all, I'm trying to set up service dependencies in Nagios. For example, I don't want alerts about an HTTP service being down on a host if the host isn't pingable. So far, the only way I've found to do this is to set it up for each host individually. That would be difficult with the hundreds of hosts that my nagios is currently monitoring. I tried creating a servicedependency object with a hostgroup_name and a dependent_hostgroup_name. This seems to make each host in hostgroup_name dependent on EVERY host in dependent_hostgroup_name. For example, if my hostgroup has 7 hosts in it, it seems it's making each of those 7 hosts dependent on each other, making 7x7=49 dependencies. (Stragely, Nagios reports 98 dependencies. Why 2x?) Any suggestions on how to make a service dependencies local to each host and not a group of hosts without lots and lots of dependency objects?

In-Reply-To: <3E1DBC56.5060100@lehigh.edu> References: <3E1DBC56.5060100@lehigh.edu> Message-ID: <20030109190624.41551.qmail@web21501.mail.yahoo.com> I'm not sure what you're asking, the default behavior is any services that are in a Critical, Warning, Unknown state on the TAC web page have a red background. With either black text, or with white text(acknowleged) or both. The changes I've made allow you to change the background colors for the Warning/unknown sections(Yellow for warnings, Brown for unknown). The text still changes color depending on whether the service has been acknowledged....I've also changed some of the title colors, so the Red/yellow/brown catch your eye... :) Wayne Mery wrote:Jon, via this change, does your background color change with the highest warning level?

Your example is similar to what I tried. But almost all my services use hostgroup_name rather than host_name to keep things manageable. Otherwise I would have over 500 service objects to manage. servicedependency doesn't seem to work right when you substitute hostgroup_name for host_name like it works for all other object definitions. I would have to create thousands of service dependecies if I were to do everything on a host basis rather than hostgroup. Oh well, but here's a vote for XML config files which would make automatic generation of these files easier.

But in the case where your webserver fails but, say, sshd is still up, can the host be said to be down? Just to say that I gave you a servicedependency example, here it is: define service{ host_name itdmll01 use icmp service_description NRPE check contact_groups linux-admins check_command check_nrpe!check_nrpe_status } define service{ host_name itdmll01 use icmp service_description Total Users contact_groups linux-admins check_command check_nrpe!check_users } define servicedependency{ dependent_host_name itdmll01 dependent_service_description Total Users host_name itdmll01 service_description NRPE check execution_failure_criteria w,u,c notification_failure_criteria w,u,c } Explanation: "NRPE check" is the basic 'is NRPE up' check. "Total Users" actually kicks off a plugin on the remote host. "Total Users" is dependent on "NRPE check". If "Total Users" fails, it checks to make sure that "NRPE check" is up/down. If the latter is down, that's all I get alerted on. If it's still up, then I get alerted on the former. Does this help? jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 7:53 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies I think I found a workaround for this. For some servers, like webservers most of the services are some form of HTTP request, so I changed the check_command on the host to do a simple http request. If that fails, then the host is considered 'down' rather than just using the standard ping check. If this is 'bad' for some reason, please let me know. second question: is it possible to pass arbitrary ssh parameters to check_ssh, like "-1" for ssh v1? Doesn't appear so, but maybe there's a trick?

You'll want to set up a service dependency, of course. Er... do you absolutely need to check for static HTML? I mean, if the PHP fails because the webserver is down.... Oh, unless you just want to be informed that there's a PHP problem but that the server itself it still up. Okay, I can see that.

I still have this issue though because I have some tests that aren't going work if simpler tests fail.

Out of the box, Nagios will behave as you wish it to. If a service check fails, then a host check is made. If the host check fails, it's flagged as down and, depending on your particular configuration, you'll receive the notification for the host being down, not for the N services you're monitoring on that host. If the host check passes, then you'll get an alert on the service. jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 6:37 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies Hello all, I'm trying to set up service dependencies in Nagios. For example, I don't want alerts about an HTTP service being down on a host if the host isn't pingable. So far, the only way I've found to do this is to set it up for each host individually. That would be difficult with the hundreds of hosts that my nagios is currently monitoring. I tried creating a servicedependency object with a hostgroup_name and a dependent_hostgroup_name. This seems to make each host in hostgroup_name dependent on EVERY host in dependent_hostgroup_name. For example, if my hostgroup has 7 hosts in it, it seems it's making each of those 7 hosts dependent on each other, making 7x7=49 dependencies. (Stragely, Nagios reports 98 dependencies. Why 2x?) Any suggestions on how to make a service dependencies local to each host and not a group of hosts without lots and lots of dependency objects?

I've barely shown you much of a single config file for a given host. Make no mistake, I'm monitoring some 1100+ services, and a large chunk of those (ie, the majority) are NRPE-related. I'm *still* working on building out the dependencies, and expect to be adding quite a few more NRPE services (say, 5-10 NRPE services per host for another ~60 hosts) before too long. (I could possibly write a Perl script to add the missing dependencies, but I like your XML suggestion for easing the pain.) The only other suggestion/wish list item I would have, would be to be able to create a system template which would encompass an integrated host-and-multiple-services definition, something which would make subsequent definitions relatively brief. :) Perhaps someday, but I'm keen to see if there are other areas of Nagios which would reap greater rewards in a shorter time with less effort, given the time/effort. Jeff, I'm not sure if this should be moved over to the nagios-devel mailing list (which I should think about subscribing to), but if you would care to constructively hash out an approach/design which could be integrated without too much grief, then check into it. :) jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 1:52 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies yeah, I'm willing to deal with the fact that the host may not be really down if I'm checking HTTP. Your example is similar to what I tried. But almost all my services use hostgroup_name rather than host_name to keep things manageable. Otherwise I would have over 500 service objects to manage. servicedependency doesn't seem to work right when you substitute hostgroup_name for host_name like it works for all other object definitions. I would have to create thousands of service dependecies if I were to do everything on a host basis rather than hostgroup. Oh well, but here's a vote for XML config files which would make automatic generation of these files easier.

But in the case where your webserver fails but, say, sshd is still up, can the host be said to be down? Just to say that I gave you a servicedependency example, here it is: define service{ host_name itdmll01 use icmp service_description NRPE check contact_groups linux-admins check_command check_nrpe!check_nrpe_status } define service{ host_name itdmll01 use icmp service_description Total Users contact_groups linux-admins check_command check_nrpe!check_users } define servicedependency{ dependent_host_name itdmll01 dependent_service_description Total Users host_name itdmll01 service_description NRPE check execution_failure_criteria w,u,c notification_failure_criteria w,u,c } Explanation: "NRPE check" is the basic 'is NRPE up' check. "Total Users" actually kicks off a plugin on the remote host. "Total Users" is dependent on "NRPE check". If "Total Users" fails, it checks to make sure that "NRPE check" is up/down. If the latter is down, that's all I get alerted on. If it's still up, then I get alerted on the former. Does this help? jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 7:53 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies I think I found a workaround for this. For some servers, like webservers most of the services are some form of HTTP request, so I changed the check_command on the host to do a simple http request. If that fails, then the host is considered 'down' rather than just using the standard ping check. If this is 'bad' for some reason, please let me know. second question: is it possible to pass arbitrary ssh parameters to check_ssh, like "-1" for ssh v1? Doesn't appear so, but maybe there's a trick?

Out of the box, Nagios will behave as you wish it to. If a service check fails, then a host check is made. If the host check fails, it's flagged as down and, depending on your particular configuration, you'll receive the notification for the host being down, not for the N services you're monitoring on that host. If the host check passes, then you'll get an alert on the service. jc -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Boulter [mailto:jboulter at yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 6:37 PM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting up service dependencies Hello all, I'm trying to set up service dependencies in Nagios. For example, I don't want alerts about an HTTP service being down on a host if the host isn't pingable. So far, the only way I've found to do this is to set it up for each host individually. That would be difficult with the hundreds of hosts that my nagios is currently monitoring. I tried creating a servicedependency object with a hostgroup_name and a dependent_hostgroup_name. This seems to make each host in hostgroup_name dependent on EVERY host in dependent_hostgroup_name. For example, if my hostgroup has 7 hosts in it, it seems it's making each of those 7 hosts dependent on each other, making 7x7=49 dependencies. (Stragely, Nagios reports 98 dependencies. Why 2x?) Any suggestions on how to make a service dependencies local to each host and not a group of hosts without lots and lots of dependency objects?

In the end, he discovered a file in /etc/xinetd.d/ named something like "-i" or perhaps ":". He wasn't really looking for it, so it went unnoticed for quite a while. You might want to try changing to the /etc/xinetd.d/ directory, then do a "grep -l nrpe `ls -a`" and see what all pops up.

I'm not sure if this has been previously addressed, as I can't find it in the archives. I am having problems with setting up volatile services in Nagios 1.0. While alerts are logged in Nagios, it is not sending notifications for subsequent non-ok messages. Example order of events: - Service is OK. - Passive failure is received and sets alert status to critical and notifies contacts. - Second passive failure occurs and sets alert, but does not send notification. - Service receives a passive OK update and logs the state change. - Passive failure is received and sets alert status to critical and notifies contacts. So, what I am missing is why the notification on the second critical event doesn't happen. Here is my service definition: # Service definition define service{ use generic-service host_name system1 service_description PassiveCheck is_volatile 1 check_period 24x7 passive_checks_enabled 1 active_checks_enabled 0 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups on-call notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options u,c,w check_command check_none } Is there something I am missing or is this a possible bug in the is_volatile code.

The .htaccess files are already there and working fine. If I login as X, I see Y and Z hosts/services. If I login as A, I see B and C hosts/services. That tells me that the basic auth is working. If I login as a user who does not have privs to see process info, it works: I don't get access to the process info. The reverse is true if I login with a user that has privs. So, I'm making the assumption that I've got things configured properly. As far as I can tell, I've got the privs for the users to hosts/services config'd properly. I also went line-by-line on the External Command File Permissions doc, and the privs match the doc, and nagios creates the right file on a restart. I also restarted httpd, which runs as apache.

"Sorry, you are not authorized..." -- Argh! Nope, I don't think that's it. The .htaccess files are already there and working fine. If I login as X, I see Y and Z hosts/services. If I login as A, I see B and C hosts/services. That tells me that the basic auth is working. If I login as a user who does not have privs to see process info, it works: I don't get access to the process info. The reverse is true if I login with a user that has privs. So, I'm making the assumption that I've got things configured properly. As far as I can tell, I've got the privs for the users to hosts/services config'd properly. I also went line-by-line on the External Command File Permissions doc, and the privs match the doc, and nagios creates the right file on a restart. I also restarted httpd, which runs as apache. So, it seems like something I'm seriously missing, or something out of my control?

If this is set for some pages but not for other pages, the problem is almost certainly that you haven't properly configured HTTP authentication for those directories. Get the URLs for the pages that don't show a logged-in user, and those that are. Compare those to the directories that you have configured for access in your Apache config.

Oracle enjoys using filesystems (eg, /db001) to the extent that the DBA wishes to use it. If the DBA decides to create a .dbf file which uses 99% of one of those filesystems, then there's no realistic way of setting a percentage threshold where 99% is 'green' and some value greater than 99% is 'red'. I prefer, in this case, to have finer granularity than that. Why do I even bother to monitor such filesystems? I suppose it's to facilitate at-a-glance 'warm fuzzies' of a given database server. It gives the casual observer (eg, management) a ballpark feeling of how little or how much a given host is being used by Oracle (among other things).

It basically just tries to log in with an ID that only needs session privileges and if it fails, pages out using Qpage the error returned from the DBI connection attempt. I would like to incorporate this into Nagios. The plugin part doesn't concern me, I can tweak my script to work with Nagios. My question is about grouping these. For the most part, I'm either not monitoring anything else on the server that the instance is on, or I'm running Nagios_statd on a few to watch disk space. I'm not the Sysadmin on any of these boxes, so I have to be careful what we monitor. I'd like to group these database monitors separately so I can view them all together without being a part of the server they reside on. Can this be done? Stanley G. Martin Sprint - EIS?

Double check to make sure nagios.cmd was created in the right place and with the right permission (the one's I gave above should be the default). I believe I covered everything that needs to be set for this to work. If I think of anything else, I'll send another email. Sorry if this is all repetitive, just trying to cover all bases.

Lubow) Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 12:31:53 -0500 (EST) Subject: Getting hostextinfo to work Message-ID: <20030110173153.D9FD311D327@juggernaut.guardiandigital.com> Hello all, I am trying to get the extended information parts of nagios to work. However, I have run into a brick wall. I am running nagios on EnGarde 1.2 and everything works except the beautification stuff. Therefore I can live if it doesn't work, but it would be nice to have. I attempted to add a hostextinfo definition to the [custom] hostextinfo.cfg configuration file (which is defined in nagios.cfg). Since this doesn't work for me, (and I am not sure why it doesn't since it is in the documentation) I scrapped this idea and went with the template style. However, I still get the unknown icon when it displays the statusmap. I did the build with the '--with-template-extinfo' option to configure. I have all the necessary libraries installed (png, jpeg, etc). The image file is the correct place. Nagios doesn't complain about the definitions in cgi.cfg. I even tried enabling xedtemplate_config_file (which I know is only for database enabled nagios). I am using the text based configuartion of nagios. I don't understand why it isn't working. Please let me know if you need more information to help me solve this problem. Thanks. -- hostextinfo[mastermind]=;engarde.gif;;mastermind;;;; hostextinfo[outpost]=;engarde.gif;engarde.gif;;outpost;100,50;3.5,2.0,5.5 xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg -- [root at mastermind logos]# ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 root webd 1373 Dec 13 19:29 engarde.gif -- Error: Invalid object definition type 'hostextinfo' in file '/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg' on line 20. ***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files... -- define hostextinfo{ host_name mastermind notes_url mastermind.html icon_image engarde.gif icon_image_alt EnGarde 1.2 2d_coords 100,250 } -- Eric Lubow Guardian Digital Inc. http://www.guardiandigital.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com Fri Jan 10 18:27:10 2003 From: jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com (Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]) Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 11:27:10 -0600 Subject: alternatives to NSClient Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F24EA@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> Is anyone aware of any alternatives to NSClient?

Now I have some questions. The way it works now, only people listed in contact's can log in and then they only can view the systems/services that are part of the contactgroups they belong to. These users then have access to interact with nagios for their sys/serv and do things like turn off notifications etc.... Q: is there a way to have a user that can view everything but not interact with anything. For instance I want my CEO to be able to see status but (for the love of God) I don't want him to be able to change anything. Also when a user opens the website, they get one auth request for the left side menu and another of the TAC (I changed the default main page to be the TAC) Q: Is this because I've changed the default main window page? how can I get this down to just one login?

Both the techOfficePrinter and the b005Printer have the images on the detail pages and the popups. I did discover that you can not setup a "template" for many hosts in one definition and then add a different "notes_url" to each host individually. I agree, that would be a nice feature. I hope this makes sense. Justin -----Original Message----- From: Robert S.

I had a bad copy of negate, so that was my first problem. Now that that's fixed... NOTE: ----- I want to keep track of my non-allocated IP space. In this case it's good to have an IP not respond, so I want to reverse the output of ping. Also, I needed to use a bogus hostname so I could nest all the unused IPs beneath the one host. It also makes hostgroups.cfg much more manageable. This means I don't use $HOSTNAME$, I need to use check_pings -H argument and call it $ARG1$. Below is the pertinent config. Snippet from checkcommands.cfg ------------------------------ # 'check_if_unused' command definition define command{ command_name check_if_unused command_line $USER1$/negate "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -p 1" } Snippet from services.cfg ------------------------- # 'check another unused ip' command definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name UNUSED_IP service_description x.x.x.x contact_groups olivier is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups madriveraccess notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r check_command check_if_unused!x.x.x.x!100.0,20%!500.0,60% } This works on the command line, which looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------ [obeauche at mrtg etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/negate "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H x.x.x.x -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60% -p 1" PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.58 ms As I understand it, negate should then swap this OK, and return a CRITICAL, correct? Instead, it's passing the following: ------------------------------------ [1042244095] SERVICE;UNUSED_IP;x.x.x.x;UNKNOWN;3/3;HARD;1042241954;1042244572;ACTIVE;1;1; 1;1042241955;0;UNKNOWN;0;40224;0;7964;0;0;1;0;0;1;0;0.00;0;1;1;1;negate: Unknown argument - H So, I stuffed the -H into $ARG1$ too, and now, I'm not getting the "Unknown argument' error.

In the etc/misccommands.cfg file I am trying to do something similar to the notify-by-epager command but instead of using printf and mail, I am trying to execute the command which contacts the problem management software. Here is a simplified command where the 'hello' part is actually the second argument which describes the problem. # Test 'host-notify-by-CIRTpager' command definition define command{ command_name host-notify-by-CIRTpager command_line /nfs/e1/oper/PAGER/scauto/linuxevprob.pl HostDown hello } I added some lines in the perl file which appends the 2nd argument to a file in /tmp, just so I know if the file is being executed, but apparently, it is never executed by nagios because the file is empty. The permissions on the file are good, and it executes normally when done by hand. It just seems to not work in nagios. I checked the notification history, and nagios seems to think it was executed, but there is never anything in the /tmp file when nagios tries to run the command. Anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate any help.

For example, we would have many servers some have common services and some not. Now I want the hostgroup "london" to check for ping, http, ftp, smtp and mysql. However not all of the host group "london" have all of these services on them. Some may have them all though. A typical config would then look like; define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name london service_description SMTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 3 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups noc-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_smtp } Is it possible to have an exclude_hosts directive here so that the app knows not to check smtp on particular servers? E.g. exclude_hosts_from_hostgroup alpha,tango,chilly I suppose I could define loads of different host groups, but does that not defeat the purpose? Also I have a slight problem with the 3d status map. I read the docs yes but there is not that much info there (perhaps I can help there) But I am having problems getting it to display the dependencies. Is this normal issue (Yes I have defined a dependency as one group of servers who are dependant on a firewall being up which is in turn dependant on a gateway being up) Sorry if these have been asked before but SF was not search through the mail list.

Whenever services are down, my main central server seems to be doing active checking on those hosts that are supposed to be passive. It is not supposed to do it at all. These host status are supposed to be reported back by distributed monitoring servers. And, I realised that the problem lies in the default check-host-alive which is configured to be check_ping. However, by removing the whole host check_command it means that the host is always assume to be up. Which I dont want that, because I stll want to be able to know if passive hosts are down. So what should I do? Problem 2: [ In reference to Dennis Cannell's post to nagios-users mail on setting Initial state of passive services] How do you schedule passive services to be on 'no-time-periods' to work around the "disabled" indicator in TAC overview? I have configured under each passive services definition in the check_period to be set to 'none' . Is this how you do it? - -- Jasmine Chua Security Engineer, SecureCiRT (A SBU of Z-Vance Pte Ltd) http://www.securecirt.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+IUm9NgvTa7Hj2AURAi7rAJ9vyS7dbvR97HK6pf6Onm3QYd0fxACgm0FX 9PV1SlOUZ/fPly+D+YgF9nc= =BZdt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From SJCJonker at SJC.nl Sun Jan 12 16:32:42 2003 From: SJCJonker at SJC.nl (Stijn Jonker) Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 16:32:42 +0100 (CET) Subject: Minor issues with nrpe & Nagios Message-ID: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have recently upgraded to nagios with nrpe from netsaint with nrpep, and i must say it has gotten a lot better, only one annoyance is still present in both programs. The annoyance is the following, when i start or restart either nagios or nrpe while logged in with ssh the session will hang when i try to logout. I believe this is due to the fact that both programs keeps one of stdout, stdin or stderr open when it is daemonizing. The way to fix this is to close the 3 file handles when daemonizing, and to my knowledge it is possible to open them later agian. If this is done then you can cleanly exit from the ssh sessions without doing ~. (the ssh disconnect sequence) to disconnect. I wonder if this is possible to change in both programs.

I like it very much. But there is one basic thing I can't get working: logging information into nagios.log for reporting. My nagios.log file contains only messages from startup, eg: [1042389088] Nagios 1.0 starting... (PID=6479) [1042389088] Warning: Contact 'misak' is not a member of any contact groups! That's all. I tried to enable use_syslog=1 in nagios.cfg. Then all messages I expected in nagios.log were in syslog. This is an excerpt: Jan 12 17:15:50 server nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagios;zaloha;postgres;CRITICAL;notify-by-epager;PGSQL: CRITICAL - no con nection to kuba (could not connect to server: Connection refused I really would like to have these messages in my nagios.log file and to be able to view notification history etc through web.

Parent hosts are typically routers, switches, firewalls, etc. that lie between the monitoring host and a remote hosts. A router, switch, etc. which is closest to the remote host is considered to be that host's "parent". Read the "Determining Status and Reachability of Network Hosts" document located here for more information. If this host is on the same network segment as the host doing the monitoring (without any intermediate routers, etc.) the host is considered to be on the local network and will not have a parent host. Leave this value blank if the host does not have a parent host (i.e. it is on the same segment as the Nagios host). The order in which you specify parent hosts has no effect on how things are monitored. AJ McKee wrote:Hi all, I was wondering if there is any way I can exclude a host from a service check but still use the same host group that includes that host. For example, we would have many servers some have common services and some not. Now I want the hostgroup "london" to check for ping, http, ftp, smtp and mysql. However not all of the host group "london" have all of these services on them. Some may have them all though. A typical config would then look like; define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name london service_description SMTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 3 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups noc-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_smtp } Is it possible to have an exclude_hosts directive here so that the app knows not to check smtp on particular servers? E.g. exclude_hosts_from_hostgroup alpha,tango,chilly I suppose I could define loads of different host groups, but does that not defeat the purpose? Also I have a slight problem with the 3d status map. I read the docs yes but there is not that much info there (perhaps I can help there) But I am having problems getting it to display the dependencies. Is this normal issue (Yes I have defined a dependency as one group of servers who are dependant on a firewall being up which is in turn dependant on a gateway being up) Sorry if these have been asked before but SF was not search through the mail list.

(DHCP is running on > this physical machine too). DHCP clients broadcast DHCPDISCOVER messages on the DHCP client port. Therefore they need root priviledges to be able to set the SO_BROADCAST socket option (have a look in check_dhcp.c). The only way to do this with a program run by a non-root user (the nagios user) is to make the program suid root ie chown root check_dhcp chmod 4755 check_dhcp This isn't done because this plugin is not part of the standard plugin dist (although it looks like a great plugin, it won't compile under FreeBSD and probably other non Linux platforms). The plugins in /contrib require you to do this sort of thing. If it still raises a BIND error I can't help.

A central server configuration with one Nagios agent polling information from other servers via NRPE is extremely powerful because of the centralized view the single agent gives via the web interface. Adding parameter support to NRPE would represent a significant step forwards for Nagios because its current implementation prevents central configuration. I believe the security implications raised by Ethan would be adequately addressed by his proposal. Overall in terms of priorities with Nagios, I would rank this fairly high. I would suggest that strong consideration also be given to creating a port of this next version of NRPE to the NT/WIN2K/XP platforms. It seems that NSClient has been orphaned and a single model for remote checking of all servers would ease installation, configuration and on-going maintenance of a Nagios monitoring environment. Plugins would also of course have to follow for these platforms but I believe users would be quick to develop them. While I probably have as many issues with the NT/WIN2K/XP platforms as other users of Nagios I still have to deal with the presence of these platforms in my environment and need to monitor them. What issues would be involved in such a port, are there any real show-stoppers (technical) and has this been discussed in the past? Tim Shouldice ----- Original Message ----- From: Ethan Galstad To: nagios-users Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 12:48 AM Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NRPE enhancement I've thought about this for a while now and have decided that I will allow arguments to be passed to plugins in future versions of NRPE. I've gotten a lot of requests for this feature and I understand that it makes configuring things on the central server much easier. However, because of the security implications this will have, I will also be doing the following: 1. Incorporate encryption similar to NSCA that gives the NRPE daemon some assurance of a trust level with the client 2. Strip all potentially dangerous shell metacharacters from the arguments before they're passed to the plugin for exection Incorporating crypto into NRPE will affect performance a bit, but it will still probably scale better than check_by_ssh. If the user decides to disable native crypto support (and tunnel traffic through stunnel, etc. instead), the NRPE daemon will refuse to accept arguments for plugins unless the user specifically supplies a --dont- blame-nrpe option to the configure script before compiling. If the daemon gets compiled with this option, it will loudly complain in the logs and elsewhere that is running in an insecure mode. Does this approach sound reasonable to people?

After further inspection I learned that all host where returning the stats for the server nagios is actually running on. I have read the manual and I seem to be doing everything correctly. I am assuming the check_* commands are being run, but as it it were checking that machine, and not looking out to the machines I want to monitor. I do doing the config as the Documentation has instructed. Any information would be helpfull.

An Active check is one that is started on the nagios server.... some of these can handle remote hosts, ping, ssh, smtp, pop, http, time etc... those you can run from nagios and everything will be happy for all your different hosts. Things like current user, load, disk space, processes, can't be run from the nagios server with regards to collecting this information from remote hosts by default. to do this you need to set up passive checks, and somehow get the information from the client to the host (nagios server) this can be acomplished by mutiple ways... 1) NRPE - open connection runs on each clent, nagios connects to the port and gets the info you want 2) NSCA - open connection runs on NAGIOS server and clients send information to the nagios server encrypted 3) check_by_ssh using the SSH's ability to execute commands to run commands on the client and pulls back results *** Personal View Disclaimer*** After setting this all up I personally thing option 2 the NSCA is the superior option though it's a little tricky to get everything working, Check_by_ssh is good and easy if your not monitoring a lot of hosts and a lot of servers, if your running a lot checks on a lot of hosts you'll get your syslog spammed by nagios checks unless you turn down the logging which is NOT a good idea, NRPE is a good choice and from what I see on the list the most popular but I don't want to have any un-necessary ports open on my clients so I decided against this.. NRPE is a pull in that each client has to have a daemon up and nagios connects to that and gets the info. NSCA is pushed from the clients and uses the mcrypt libs to provide a bunch of encryption choice including blowfish and 2fish... it requires only a daemon on the nagios server. for my needs this was the best choice..

It has not been ported to Windows, and I believe there are no plans to. However, if you have a non-Windows box you can run Nagios on (Linux, Solaris, BSD, etc), you can still monitor Windows machines through NSClient. It's a daemon that runs on a Windows box and there's plugin called check_nt that is called from your monitoring servet to talk to it and get status information.

I have Nagios 1.0 installed and running but I can not get trends or status map to work. Now I know your saying "Hey, just do -with-gd-inc= etc." well I did and Nagios found GD just find and did not spit back no GD error. I think its something to do with Apache. I am running 2.0.43. I get a 500 internal server error when I click trends, statusmap, etc. I have this working just fine on Linux with these versions but for the life of me I can not get it to work on Solaris 8.

Well, I've run several tests with both Apache::Leak and Devel::Leak and have found that it's not my code that's leaking, but either p1.pl or mini_epn. The number of SVs before and after executing my code stays the same (or decreases!). BUT the number of SVs between invocations when called by mini_epn increases. Below is an example where I use Devel::Leak and have changed the output of my service check to be the ENTER and LEAVE values returned by NoteSV and CheckSV (note that the first invocation increases dramatically because of DynaLoaded modules) $ ./mini_epn 2>/dev/null Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32488 LEAVE:32674 Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32686 LEAVE:32686 Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32694 LEAVE:32693 Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32701 LEAVE:32700 Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32708 LEAVE:32707 > You could also run any suggestions past the ePN author (noted in the > source).

I have an external dial-out modem connected to my Nagios host (Sun Ultra 5). I use the modem to send text pages using qpage through a service escalation. So far the modem has only been used in testing (luckily we haven't had any failures in off hours where the notifications would have escalated to paging. But rather than manually testing the modem occasionally I would like to have Nagios test the modem for me. I have been doing some preliminary testing using qpage, but it looks like qpage returns a status of 0 regardless of the page going through or not. My initial thought was to set up the pager as a host and have the check interval set to one week. I can live with one page a week for the knowledge that the pager is still functional.

Bear in mind that mini_epn is only a means of assessing whether or not a plugin will __run__ under an ePN (if it fails mini_epn, it will certainly fail ePN. If it passes however, it may still fail to run under ePN. There exist modules for example that will run once in mini_epn but not more than once). I will try and re-examine it and see if there are any faults that I can see. However, if there are faults in mini_epn, there are almost certainly faults in ePN since mini_epn is the guts of ePN (from base/checks.c) stuck in a loop. Please fix them and it as best you may. The ePN stuff is _all_ contributed. The developer, Stephen Davies, (I will write you offline with his address) is acknowledged in the code (eg common/config.h.in) and in the docs. Although Mr Galstad says he only includes contributions that he understands and meet a need, this one may have slipped by. > $ ./mini_epn 2>/dev/null > Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test > embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32488 LEAVE:32674 > > Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test > embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32686 LEAVE:32686 > > Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test > embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32694 LEAVE:32693 > > Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test > embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32701 LEAVE:32700 > > Enter file name: check_remote_interfaces-leak_test > embedded perl plugin output was -12820724,ENTER: 32708 LEAVE:32707 > > > You could also run any suggestions past the ePN author (noted in the > > source). > > I couldn't find this person's info (is it not Ethan Galstad?). > I don't want to bother who are no longer involved in the project. > He can choose whether he wants to reply or not.

For example, we would have many servers some have common services and some not. Now I want the hostgroup "london" to check for ping, http, ftp, smtp and mysql. However not all of the host group "london" have all of these services on them. Some may have them all though. A typical config would then look like; define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name london service_description SMTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 3 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups noc-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_smtp } Is it possible to have an exclude_hosts directive here so that the app knows not to check smtp on particular servers? E.g. exclude_hosts_from_hostgroup alpha,tango,chilly I suppose I could define loads of different host groups, but does that not defeat the purpose? Also I have a slight problem with the 3d status map. I read the docs yes but there is not that much info there (perhaps I can help there) But I am having problems getting it to display the dependencies. Is this normal issue (Yes I have defined a dependency as one group of servers who are dependant on a firewall being up which is in turn dependant on a gateway being up) Sorry if these have been asked before but SF was not search through the mail list.

Given that there is still artefact code in the Perl core (eg the NewX() family of platform independent malloc() calls; the NEWSV() macro, " .... id is an integer id between 0 and 1299 (used to identify leaks). SV* NEWSV (int id, STRLEN len) ") to deal with memory leaks, and the pretty 'equivocal' advice in the Couzins and Jenness book about embedding, this sounds pretty reasonable to me. It is really unfortunate if this is a practical issue because the API is so slick, including among other things SV 'strings' with properties like Perl scalar variables instead of C strings; AVs that are Perl arrays with macros including av_pop, av_push, av_fetch, av_store, av_unshift, av_shift. HVs that are Perl hashes. No need to use linked lists. and allowing the C coder to call Perl for pattern matching or for list operations (grep and map), or simply to call an arbitrary Perl subroutine - this last function alone is the basis of embedded Perl Nag/Netsaint. In other words, all the speed and elegance of C with the power of Perl. However, despite the caveats there are some pretty big applications that do this quie happily. Surely mod_perl, gnumeric, and other applications would have gone away if embedding was such a mixed 'success'. If I can ever get the ideas/and or inspiration I would like to try and code the Nag core to use HVs instead of linked lists. > Nagios 2.0 will > have an option to reload the interpreter after a predefined number of > calls. > Hopefully this will "fix" the memory leak problem, even if it > is a bit of a hackish thing to do.

My initial thought was to set up the pager as a host and have the check interval set to one week. I can live with one page a week for the knowledge that the pager is still functional. But It seems like it would be better to check more frequently, if possible without actually sending the page. I suppose one could write a script to open the port and use expect/send to communicate with the modem to verify it was still "alive". Has anyone looked at this and come up with a solution? Wow, please wrap your lines. ;) While this would be a hack, you might set up a local test that checks the qpage _queue_, looking for any failure messages. That, I think, would be easier than trying to poke deeper into qpage. Hopefully, that would be sufficient for you.

However, what do I do when I have a dual homed host with one IP in the 172.20 and one in the 10. range? Where the 172.20 just connects to a Cisco Catalyst and the 10. range to a router? What parent do I use in the parents directive, the router or the switch? Both interfaces are being used for service checks as one network is a private gigabit backbone and the other is open to the LAN. Is there any use in adding them both as parent, and what consequences will this have?

My initial thought was to set up the pager as a host and have the check interval set to one week. I can live with one page a week for the knowledge that the pager is still functional. But It seems like it would be better to check more frequently, if possible without actually sending the page. I suppose one could write a script to open the port and use expect/send to communicate with the modem to verify it was still "alive". Has anyone looked at this and come up with a solution? Wow, please wrap your lines. ;) While this would be a hack, you might set up a local test that checks the qpage _queue_, looking for any failure messages. That, I think, would be easier than trying to poke deeper into qpage. Hopefully, that would be sufficient for you.

I just moved from NetSaint 0.0.7 to Nagios as well. You have a point that the one line per service was easier to overview. However, don't let this scare you.

See it like this: directives for a specific host or service take precedence over template settings. And that is a true blessing! One example: I monitor a lot of SQL servers, so I have a SQL service template like this: # SQL Process definition template define service{ name SQL service_description SQL active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 0 notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 is_volatile 0 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups nt-admins notification_interval 600 notification_period 24x7 check_period 24x7 notification_options u,c,r check_command check_nt_service!MSSQLServer,SQLServerAgent register 0 } One avarage SQL service definition will look like this: # Service definition define service{ use SQL host_name server1 } However, when monitoring a clustered SQL server, I have the following: # Service definition define service{ use SQL host_name cluster1 check_command check_nt_service!'MSSQLServer$cluster1','SQLServerAgent$cluster1' } So you see I can use everything from the template, and still change that one directive that does not fit in, in this case the check_command. In my opinion the new template format beats the "Old Way". You just have to learn the little tricks and not just run the convert tool and leave it to that. Using that tool is a start that will save you a lot of typing work, but you should then try to exploit everyting that templates have to offer. And as far as the size is concerned... that's about the only setback I can see and was a bit my concern as well...

If I were to take this approach, I presume I need the following: - the SNMP software components need to be installed on the Nagios server as well as for any client I wish to monitor (should be obvious, but I didn't want to skip over this ;) - proper config of SNMP so that it's functioning client/server - the check_snmp plugin should be built properly - I'm guessing I need a MIB for whatever aspect I'm trying to monitor...? E.g., o/s, hardware, specific application - the biggest gap is w.r.t. what a service definition would look like; if you could post a couple examples (eg, memory, disk) that would be most excellent, sir :) For further reference, it would be great if you could take me through the creation of a single definition, from the "gee, I'd like to monitor service XYZ on host xyzygy" to looking up the MIB details (or snmpwalk or whatever's required), that'd be great!

However, what do I do when I have a dual homed host with one IP in the 172.20 and one in the 10. range? Where the 172.20 just connects to a Cisco Catalyst and the 10. range to a router? What parent do I use in the parents directive, the router or the switch? Both interfaces are being used for service checks as one network is a private gigabit backbone and the other is open to the LAN. Is there any use in adding them both as parent, and what consequences will this have?

When I first started to sink my teeth into Nagios back in July/02, I glanced at the 'old' method, shuddered quietly, glanced at the 'new' method, pondered a moment, read the note that indicated everything which used the 'old' method would eventually use the 'new' method, and decided I didn't want to be forced to completely redo everything after the 'old' method was dropped. Once I got the knack for seeing opportunities for making templates, the actual keystrokes I needed to do was a major savings. > > This is going to make maintenance very difficult > > since I will have to browse tons of pages to find a service. > > Well, you can always use the search funtion in vi... Do what I do. In nagios.cfg, set: cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/configs and in that directory, create a separate .cfg file for each host. That config file will have the host config stanza as well as all the service config stanzas. Makes for a great way to quickly build out new host/service definitions (ie, keep a copy of a 'baseline' config for each architecture you wish to build out quickly, such as a SQL Server for Windows, or an Oracle database server for Solaris -- just make sure you don't leave the boilerplate files in that directory ending in .cfg, as Nagios will examine them on startup). > > I don't want to go back to the old "default" method since I am > > completely transferring my system into the new format and don't want > > to be outdated on the offset. > > That was one of my motivations as well.> *shrug* I just saw it as The Way (tm). ;) > > Is there a way to manage custom statements like check_snmp and > > NSClient Windows service check so that they are not out of control? > > I see the benefit for template's but that seems to be limited to > > environments that all the hosts in a network have similar settings. > > If one server in a group does not follow a guideline then you have > > to expand the group to individual hosts.

In a sense, one needs to step back, look at the bigger picture, and recognize opportunities for economizing. In the beginning, I too used hosts.cfg and services.cfg and added multiple definitions where possible. I've all but eliminated that. It's more verbose using my approach, but also affords greater nimbleness during creation, and minimizes the scope of Fat Fingering a config file. I've even given thought to creating separate subdirectories for each hostname, and creating tiny separate files for each host/service definition. In a dream world, there would be some sort of implicit recognition that, since the service definitions are in the same directory as the host definition, they must be referring to that host, and no other. That would make adding new services as simple as copying a tiny .cfg file from a boilerplate directory to the hostname directory.

So my strategy is now this. Have a service check that runs only on Friday morning that sends a page, this should always succeed. Run check_proc on some standard interval (1-12 hours say), run a custom check that calls qpage -Q on a similar interval. That way if I get my page Friday morning I have tested the modem before the weekend, and I get e-mail during the week if check_proc or my custom check fail.

I'll throw my $0.02 in, but YMMV, and I'm sure you'll get some variance in opinions. - check_by_ssh -- great for punching through firewalls where port 22 is already open (saves you having to punch more holes); doesn't scale well, because of the crypto computations - NRPE -- it's what I'm using; many aren't thrilled with having to manage multiple nrpe.cfg files across every client; I've managed to make do - nrpep -- not terribly familiar with it; basically a variation on the NRPE theme, I believe, except in Perl - nagios_statd -- for starters, you'd have to install Python on ever client you wish to install this on; I also seem to recall reading a post to the list where someone was having problems expanding on the functionality - check_snmp -- this is something I've been pondering for a while, and would like to try; someone posted very recently that it's quite lightweight; you'll need the SNMP binaries installed on the Nagios host as well as every client; not sure, but I'm guessing that the lion's share of the SNMP effort is peeling back the layers to find exactly what things you can monitor - NSCA -- this is the passive approach, meaning the client will need to contact the server; I pondered this as an option, but nobody could tell me how well it scales, or whether it would suffice as a replacement for the active checks that NRPE gives me In summary, I'm using NRPE, and am considering adding/switching to check_snmp.

On the DMZ side though, all systems have the firewall as a parent directly. Could I add a "Fake" host to represent the dumb hub and then set the DMZ systems to use that as a parent?

Setting the warning/critical thresholds doesn't have a lot to do with NRPE, other than what you put into the nrpe.cfg file. But let's assume you need an example for each. First, nrpe.cfg on the client: command[check_load]=/home/nagios/libexec/check_load 5 10 15 20 25 30 command[root]=/home/nagios/libexec/check_disk -m 95 98 / Next, services.cfg on Nagios: define service{ host_name itdmln30 use icmp service_description Total Load contact_groups unix-admins check_command check_nrpe!check_load } define service{ host_name itdmln30 use icmp service_description Space on root contact_groups unix-admins check_command check_nrpe!root } I'll assume for the moment that you've already got check_nrpe properly defined in checkcommands.cfg. (Note that you may wish to have another 'use' statement than what I'm using for my environment.) I should also mention that my check_load is based on an example I read somewhere. Now that I've done a "./check_load --help", I may change my approach.

I did this because we planned on trying to use "-c none" to see if it reduced some of the ssh-induced load. We haven't actually tested its effects yet (we need to rebuild ssh to allow "-c none" first). Does anyone know if this would make a big difference in ssh's scalability?

Just be aware that it can add extra services to your configuration. As an example, for the 1 5 15 minutes CPU load check, it's 3 SNMP services instead of just one. There were other things I couldn't figure out with SNMP, like checking that all processes on a box are less than 25M in size. It's prolly good to know how to do SNMP checks, but I don't think they are the be all to monitoring.

Yup, your web server configuration is wrong. Probably Apache looking for password file in wrong location.

But your guess is correct, determining what you can monitor is the lions share of the work. But even so, it's usually not hard, and you can generally monitor quite a lot.

If we leave the "First Assumed State" in "Step 3 Select Report Options" as Unspecified "Time Up" all show as 0.000% and "Time Undertermined" shows as 100%. If we change the "First Assumed State" to "Host Up/Service Ok" then the report shows the correct information "Time Up" 100%. Why does the report not set the value of "First Assumed State" as Host Up/Service Ok? It would seem logical that you would not start checking of a host or service that is not yet live. Although this is not a big problem I am being asked these questions by managers because on the demo site at www.nagios.org you can leave the "First Assumed State" as "Unspecified" and it reports "Hosts/Services" as 100% "Time Up" Is there are way to fix this?

However, since the server is defined with its 10. IP, Nagios will only see this host as being down when it receives no reply from that interface. It doesn't care about the other one. So what would be the advantage of adding the switch on the 172.20. network as a parent, if you know that if that interface fails, Nagios will not see it as a down host? I hope you know what I mean...

Apologies if it's further back. I'm running RedHat 7.3 on a machine which has been working well and very stable for several months. Tried to install nagios today and hit the following problem... "./configure" worked fine and found everything. The defaults suited me so I didn't specify any options. "make all" started to work and print out what it was doing, then the machine just stopped responding. No error messages, no nothing, had to hit the power button. If I run "make clean" then "make all" again, the same thing happens every time. gcc is version 2.96-110 Hope someone can help.

OK. I happen to have a RedHat beta on my laptop here. No nagios, no snmp. Let's see just how painful this is, since it's been a few years since I first set ip up. 1) rpm -Uv net-snmp* 2) edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf (comments in file are enough to tell you what to do) 3) sudo /sbin/service snmpd restart 4) test with `snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost system` 5) snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost .1 | less 6) now, since people asked about checking load without 3 test in another thread, I'll run snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10 Part of what comes back is UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoad.1 = STRING: 0.00 UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoad.2 = STRING: 0.07 UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoad.3 = STRING: 0.23 Or, if you prefer: snmpwalk -O n -c public -v 1 localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1 = STRING: 0.12 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2 = STRING: 0.10 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3 = STRING: 0.09 So I can define a load check like: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ \ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.1 \ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.2 \ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.3 \ -w :$ARG2$,:$ARG3$,:$ARG4$ \ -c :$ARG5$,:$ARG6$,:$ARG7$ \ -l load (Sorry about the line wraps.) Here's a few new style commands from ny currently running configuration: define command{ command_name snmp_procs command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp \ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER5$ \ -o host.hrSystem.hrSystemProcesses.0 \ -w :$ARG1$ -c :$ARG2$ -l processes } define command{ command_name snmp_disk command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp \ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER5$ \ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.9.1 \ -w :$ARG1$ -c :$ARG2$ -l percent } define command{ command_name snmp_inodes command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp \ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER5$ \ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.10.1 \ -w :$ARG1$ -c :$ARG2$ -l percent } Hope that helps. -- Karl ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Take your first step towards giving your online business a competitive advantage.

I've written a basic one, that just uses isql running a SQL query based on contrib/check_oracle_instance but it's real simplistic and there's probably something better by someone out there. For all the budding DBA out there, what would be a general good SQL statement to run to poll health? I'm just using select * from master..sysdatabases and returning the number of rows!

Cricket is pretty nice but i had to create a seperate set of binaries seperate from my core apache/php system since Cricket wont work in safe mode and needs reg_globals on among other things. Still Cricket is nice. You should also check on net-snmp (http://www.net-snmp.org). The check_snmp tool in the libexec directory of Nagios is very nice and can be expanded by creating entries in the etc/checkcommands.cfg I did this to handle integer and string return differences: define command{ command_name check_snmp_int command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $ARG1$ -o $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -C $ARG4$ -d $ARG5$ } define command{ command_name check_snmp_str command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $ARG1$ -o $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$ -C $ARG4$ -d $ARG5$ } Then in your services.cfg file you can do something like this: define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name portal service_description ETH: Status is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_snmp_int!localhost!.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7.2,.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.2!1!***********!"=" } What the above does is check the return values for my ethernet device to see if the admin and oper status is 1. Handling multiple oids is real handy when trying to minimize Status Details, the only issue i have with it so far is that the boundary check for oids limits me (ie it cores) to only so many entries. It would be nice if the check_snmp program could add a flag for the oid parent tree and then accept an array of integers comprised of the subtree values. For example, the process table oid .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2.1.101 and then and array of what leaf nodes (1,2,3,4,10,12,15...n) ahck im going off on a tangent again, better stop before i go completely off track ;) -Greg On Wed, 15 Jan 2003, Subhendu Ghosh wrote: > > Use MRTG for grpahing the traffic and use Nagios to monitor whether the > door is open or closed. > > > If you use Cricket instead of MRTG - Cricket could graph the traffic and > the door state and send an snmp trap to Nagios if the door state is open.. > > Generally - use Nagios for monitoring fault - use other apps for > performance trends.. > > -sg > > On Wed, 15 Jan 2003 kdellhofen at telebel.net wrote: > > > > > Ok i need to count the traffic on each port on an switch or router so i can > > use MRTG or?! > > Then i need a tool perhaps Mrtg that can read out from a "CMC Rittal" > > Server cabinet security wether is opened a door or closed or is there any > > alarm.. > > > > > > e.g > > system.sysDescr.0 = Rittal CMC Ser. 015271 HW V24 -- SW V2.00 > > system.sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.2606.1 > > system.sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (1134605) 3:09:06.05 > > system.sysContact.0 = Klaus Dellhofen > > system.sysName.0 = CMC Schrank 1 > > system.sysLocation.0 = Leverkusen EVL OVF > > system.sysServices.0 = 72 > > system.sysORLastChange.0 = Wrong Type (should be Timeticks): 0 > > interfaces.ifNumber.0 = 1 > > interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex.1 = 1 > > interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.1 = pack > > interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1 = iso88023Csmacd(7) > > interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifMtu.1 = 1500 > > interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.1 = Gauge32: 10000000 > > interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifPhysAddress.1 = 0:10:f0:0:3b:a7 > > interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus.1 = up(1) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > "Tom DE BLENDE" > > > l.com> Kopie: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > Thema: Re: [Nagios-users] how can i use snmp > > 15.01.2003 14:31 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You asked for a tool -and I quote- "to count the traffic on each port > > and so on...". > > > > MRTG does just that.

Message-ID: <1042642430.1095.83.camel@localhost.localdomain> What's the status on this problem? I'm experiencing the same thing on RH 6.2. I've read the tuning docs, but I can't find anything about handling this. Is it a parallelization issue? I set max_concurrent_checks=100. After restarting Nagios 50 minutes ago, I've got 208 processes. I had a similar problem on a remote host, but setting max_concurrent_checks=5 took care of it. I've got one central server performing 30 active checks and accepting about 900 passive checks from 30 remote servers via NSCA. I believe the problem, which Gerald described below, is a result of too many processes running. I can't hardly perform a 'ps' command when Nagios runs away. How can it update a service status? Thanks, Steve Kohrs From: Burnson, Richard RE: Nagios centralized server BUG??? 2003-01-03 15:10 I tried running Nagios on RH 8.0 as well. (Part of my plan to setup a distributed system, see previous e-mail) I left the existing server running RH 7.2, and on a duplicate machine with the exact same hardware I installed RH 8.0. (Dual 1 Ghz processes and 1 GB RAM, in the same model server) I installed nagios and moved the configs over from the 7.2 box. While the 7.2 box has run w/o a hitch for 1.5 years, the RH 8.0 box would run out of memory and the kernel would kill the nagios process(es). So I blew away Rh 8.0 and installed 7.2 on the box, and was able to run the Nagios setup the same as the original. Not sure what gives, but it seems like 8.0 has some bugs in it that red Hat needs to still work out. So my recommendation is to run it on 7.2 or 7.3 until 8.x is stable. Richard -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Wichmann [mailto:gwichman at za...] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 4:46 PM To: Nagios (E-mail) Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios centralized server BUG??? Well I'm about to give up and install this central server on another box. Running it on RH8 and it's driving me nuts. I have 1 central server accepting only passive service checks. Also 2 distributed servers which submit passive checks to the centralized server's nsca daemon. Watching /var/log/messages I can clearly see all the EXTERNAL COMMANDS being submitted exactly as I'd expect them to. All services are reporting and showing up OK including Ping. Yet when I look at "host detail" or "service detail" something doesn't mesh.. Either there's a bug in nagios or I seriously have something wacky going on here.. Despite the fact that all services report ok, under "host details" I have a variety of servers showing up as RED/DOWN.. Last Check is recent. Status Information is always "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds". Status is either UNREACHABLE (most of them), or DOWN (1 of them). Ok so I click on "service details".. over there all services report "OK" and green. For some odd reason the Ping services are old in the last checked column. Like 7 hours.. Even though I can watch /var/log/messages and see that I'm receiving PING updates as OK regularly.. The other services mostly have recent updates but there are a lot of them that are 1,2, and even 3 hours out of date. Why is my services detail page so out of date? Someone points out that I may have multiple nagios servers running on the machine and well yes that's partially true. Initially when I start nagios it spawns one nagios -d process but soon they start to multiply. Long term I have seen them climb up to 4000 which seems excessive to me. Far as I can tell they don't reduce in numbers nor do they seem to go much higher then 4000. We're running netsaint in a much larger distributed environment here checking hundreds and hundreds of services and it also spawns multiple netsaint processes.. but not as many.. seems to top out usually around 500.. so as far as I can tell this behavior of multiple processes is normal. So what the hell is going on here? Does anyone out there run a distributed environment with a centralized server?

Message-ID: <48F1F432BF75D6118FAC0002B325BE3636EA6A@ntex04.affymetrix.com> Jim, I have been wanting to move towards a directory based single config file per host approach. Can you send me a sample config file for a host? Secondly, how did you go about creating hostgroups? Do you retain the hostgroups.cfg file? Or can this also be added into the host config file? If so how? Lastly, I had a question on contacts. There are 2 places where contacts are defined, in services.cfg and hostgroups.cfg, which of these take precedence when the host goes down? I have been asked to create host groups based on site location, but my admins are based on type of host (network-admin, windows-admin, unix-admin etc), so if I create a hostgroup based on site I need to add a default contactgroup, if I add all the 3 contactgroups, will the correct one get alerts based on what is defined in the services.cfg file? I am sure it will work for a service outage, but what about a host down situation? Hope you got what I am trying to convey!.

When I first started to sink my teeth into Nagios back in July/02, I glanced at the 'old' method, shuddered quietly, glanced at the 'new' method, pondered a moment, read the note that indicated everything which used the 'old' method would eventually use the 'new' method, and decided I didn't want to be forced to completely redo everything after the 'old' method was dropped. Once I got the knack for seeing opportunities for making templates, the actual keystrokes I needed to do was a major savings. > > This is going to make maintenance very difficult > > since I will have to browse tons of pages to find a service. > > Well, you can always use the search funtion in vi... Do what I do. In nagios.cfg, set: cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/configs and in that directory, create a separate .cfg file for each host. That config file will have the host config stanza as well as all the service config stanzas. Makes for a great way to quickly build out new host/service definitions (ie, keep a copy of a 'baseline' config for each architecture you wish to build out quickly, such as a SQL Server for Windows, or an Oracle database server for Solaris -- just make sure you don't leave the boilerplate files in that directory ending in .cfg, as Nagios will examine them on startup). > > I don't want to go back to the old "default" method since I am > > completely transferring my system into the new format and don't want > > to be outdated on the offset. > > That was one of my motivations as well.> *shrug* I just saw it as The Way (tm). ;) > > Is there a way to manage custom statements like check_snmp and > > NSClient Windows service check so that they are not out of control? > > I see the benefit for template's but that seems to be limited to > > environments that all the hosts in a network have similar settings. > > If one server in a group does not follow a guideline then you have > > to expand the group to individual hosts.

In a sense, one needs to step back, look at the bigger picture, and recognize opportunities for economizing. In the beginning, I too used hosts.cfg and services.cfg and added multiple definitions where possible. I've all but eliminated that. It's more verbose using my approach, but also affords greater nimbleness during creation, and minimizes the scope of Fat Fingering a config file. I've even given thought to creating separate subdirectories for each hostname, and creating tiny separate files for each host/service definition. In a dream world, there would be some sort of implicit recognition that, since the service definitions are in the same directory as the host definition, they must be referring to that host, and no other. That would make adding new services as simple as copying a tiny .cfg file from a boilerplate directory to the hostname directory.

References: <1042642430.1095.83.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <3E25BF03.6040305@quadrix.com> Something that could be worth testing. What is your value of service_reaper_frequency in nagios.cfg? It defaults to 10, which means that nagios reads its internal plugin communications pipe every 10 seconds. Changing it to 5 helped me a lot, but I was running almost exclusively active checks. I think that setting, and they setting for how often Nagios reads the command pipe are the two things you're going to want to play with the most. Russell Scibetti Steven L.

Especially nice is to use this make-config script - generating services for multi ports routers is not very funny. I have no time to check graphics - but it is less important to me. Check_traffic for only one router with 9 ports made load of procesoor about 95-98% all the time... The main problem for me is the way how your scripts work. All this snmpget, snmpwalk commands are very hard for processor state. So generally checking all interestig things by snmp is hard for my computer (its only some p-II). Few days ago I found very interesting program for nagios (also thanks to some mail from nagios forum) - it is snmppd - snmp proxy daemon (http://freshmeat.net/projects/snmppd) Calling snpm questions is made by check_snmpp command (the same like check_snmp, but by snmppd daemon). Thanks to this daemon i low down average load of processor more then 15 times! (average load of processor made by more then 15 snmp asks result in load about 5-7 % - from earlier 80-90% !!!) Because all snmp answers made by snmpget/walk are the same possible to posses by check_snmp command - so this is my proposition (question?): is it possible to rewrite check_traffic to use existing command check_snmp (or especially check_snmpp)? It could effect in low down the processor load, what can be (just like in my situation) very important in greater number of tested devices... I would be very gratefull if you find some time to look on the daemon described above, and maybe you find some possibility to use this solution in your project... If you would like to talk about this - send to my priv mail. I'm afraid my english(please apologize me!) is not perfect. Personaly im sure, that joining this two projects can be very interesting... But apart everything - check_traffic and this install script it is really good job!

Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F2500@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> I can send you a sample config file off-list. (I just not realized after doing a bit of administrivia, that I really should carve up hostextinfo.cfg and put the relevant chunks into the hostfiles.) Yes, I still use the hostgroups.cfg file. There's no obvious way (to me) to do so. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other place where you're required to reference multiple hosts in a single stanza. On contacts (and this is wild speculation, so perhaps someone else can confirm/deny): In the trivial case, if a service goes down, I get notification that that service is down. In the trivial case, if a host goes down, I get notification that that service is down, but I do *not* get inundated with notifications for all the services defined on that host. If I were to extrapolate based on that, I would say that if the service gets down, the contact for that service would be notified, and if the host goes down, only the contact for that host would be notified. I'm uncertain of whether the logic is in place to detect whether someone who is listed as a service contact but not a host contact should be notified regardless. Again, take the trivial case: If I'm listed as the host contact and you're listed as the service contact for 30 services on that host, I'll get 1 notification when the host goes down; do you really want 30 notifications that all your services are down? Also, stop to think about roles and responsibilities. If you're responsible for the database and I'm responsible for the host, do you really want to be notified that the database is down, but there's absolutely nothing you can do until the host is up again? And looking at it from my POV: Do I really want you asking me every 5 minutes, "Is it up yet? Is it up yet?" And once the host is back up and (let's say) the database comes back up smoothly, do you really want to have been awake from 1:00am to 4:00am just to discover that there's absolutely no reason why you needed to be up to begin with? If the database fails to start, you'll get your notification soon enough, no need to worry about that. ;) If someone on this list disagrees with this logic, indicating that yes, the DBA should be notified that the host is down, regardless of whether or not they can be effectual, great: Just show me how I can grant the DBA a view of the host *without* having the ability to acknowledge an alert, or schedule/cancel downtime, etc, *without* having to resort to adding individual users to cgi.cfg. (This is pretty much a question I recently asked on this list, without any feedback.) I'm not sure I adequately answered your last question, but I hope it gives you food for thought. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Pulyankote, Gopinath [mailto:Gopinath_Pulyankote at affymetrix.com] > Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 11:01 AM > To: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] > Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Template Structure is Better??? > > > Jim, > I have been wanting to move towards a directory based > single config > file per host approach.

Message-ID: <20030116113441.C53578@IPAustralia.Gov.AU> Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Is anyone using Nagios (event handlers) to restart failed programs on NT hosts. In this case Nagios can detect the failed program (by 'tailing' the dumped event log on a share - the program will write a heartbet log record to show that is still alive). However, how could it restart the program ? 1 sshd on the NT host ? 2 Do there exist public (ie Samba-TNG, Samba-head) RPC code that can start programs on NT boxes ? 3 Any other suggestions ? Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

But it doesn't really conform to the Nagios plugin guidelines. I'd be really happy if anyone was interested in making it conform. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do this. Feel free to use it anyway. The general usage is: check_sensors .... 'field1' is the name of the field output by 'sensors'. 'disp1' is what to print back to nagios as the name of this field. 'warn1' is an expression that defines when a warning will be generated for this field 'crit1' is an expression that defines when a critical will be generated for this field The 'warn1' and 'crit1' values can be numbers e.g. '35.5' or expressions e.g. '<20'. No attempt is made to ensure the warning and critical expressions are logically consistent. Output is a single line with the values of each of the sensor checks requested, and an indication if they are above the critical or warning thresholds.

It happens because script can't get value from interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.$ifNumber object There might be two reasons of this situation: interface hasn't set this value, or.. You still have problems with snmpget :) I don't have access to any platform works under FreeBSD, so I can't help.. Hmmm...I guess the next releases of this plugin should use Perl:SNMP module.

On machines with interface aliases, e.g. hme1, hme1:1 etc., there is a problem with the generated .cgi file. This is because rrdcgi gets confused by the ':' in the output file name. The solution is to modify both check_traffic and make-config, and put the following line, after where $db_file is assigned: $db_file =~ s/:/-/g; This substitutes a '-' for any ':' in the file name.

But I do remember applying a fix for the issue, and it is in the code. Not having auothored (or audited) the SF code, I'll back off any assertions about how to find the actual entry now. -- Karl > > Karl DeBisschop 01/15/03 10:48pm > > On Wed, 2003-01-15 at 05:17, Grae Noble wrote: > > Hi all, > > I've seen the problem also. Not only that, but it also does not handle multiple swap devices properly. If there is more that one swap file or partition and if one of them is at a size/percentage that will generate an alert, then it fails the entire check. i.e. 3 swap devices, 1 at 80%, 1, at 10% and one at 0%. If the threshold for the check is set to 60% then the check will trigger a critical or warning instead of calculating the total swap available and setting the status against that. > > > > I did submit a bug report for both problems, 621872 is the block/byte problem, but the other bug seems to have disappeared from sourceforge. > > The other did not 'disappear', it was applied and the ticket closed. > Standard view does not show closed tickets. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: A Thawte Code Signing Certificate is essential in establishing user confidence by providing assurance of authenticity and code integrity.

Now I just use MRTG to graph real time CPU data, and that is really helpful. I know there are sexier things around like Cricket, based on rrdtool, but MRTG does the job just fine here. This is what I used for MRTG: #!/bin/sh hostname=$1 uptime=`/usr/local/netsaint/libexec/check_nt -H $1 -p 1248 -v UPTIME | cut -d: -f2` stat=`/usr/local/netsaint/libexec/check_nt -H $1 -p 1248 -v CPULOAD -l 5,80,95,60,80,95,1440,80,95 | cut -d\% -f1 | awk '{print $5}' ` echo $stat echo $stat echo $uptime echo $hostname And this is what I used for logging the stuff in a file: #!/bin/sh [ ! -f /usr/local/netsaint/logging/logs.txt ] && echo -n '"Date" "Time" ' >> /usr/local/netsaint/logging/logs.txt && sed 's/^/"/;s/$/"/' < /usr/local/netsaint/logging/servers| tr "\n" " " >> /usr/local/netsaint/logging/logs.txt && echo >> /usr/local/netsaint/logging/logs.txt echo '"'`date '+%m/%e/%Y'`'" ''"'`date '+%T'`'" '`for server in \`cat /usr/local/netsaint/logging/servers\`; do /usr/local/netsaint/libexec/check_nt -H $server -p 1248 -v CPULOAD -l 10,80,95,60,80,95,1440,80,95 | cut -d\% -f1 | awk '{print "\"" $5 "\""}'; done` >> /usr/local/netsaint/logging/logs.txt Looking at that last 'script' makes my stomach turn. It was written long ago, and is not used anymore, but should do the job. It requires a file with a list of all servers you want to have stats for. Shouldn't be too hard to do the same with Perl.

One service work quite well (network usage). But i have problems with my other service that check disk usage on Win2K. I have manually test the check_snmp : check_snmp -H 10.1.6.250 -o .1.3.6.1.2.25.2.3.1.6.2 -C public -m ALL The command returns this line : SNMP OK - 652730 for my network usage service i have this : check_snmp -H 10.1.6.250 -o .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.16777219 -C public -m ALL The command returns this line : SNMP OK - Counter32:5656236 I think the problem is that Nagios parses the result of the check_snmp command and search for Counter32.

Message-ID: I can put a host in more than 1 hostgroup correct? I would have this: host router-ext part of group all which has members * (thus getting 100% of my hosts.cfg) host router-ext-2 part of group routerext which has members router-ext-2 (only 1 host in that hostgroup) Both host's ping the SAME IP. This would be then used in my escalations in the following way: define hostgroupescalation{ hostgroup_name routerext first_notification 2 last_notification 3 contact_groups qpage-group notification_interval 60 } define hostgroupescalation{ hostgroup_name all first_notification 3 last_notification 4 contact_groups it-group,nextel-group notification_interval 60 } --- The reason behind this is that the my "router-ext-2" host I want to have an escalation from a standard e-mail to sending a qpage alert after 20 minutes of being down. So to accomplish this I have router-ext-2 set to a 20 minute notification interval, and "router-ext" host set to my standard 120 minute interval. This should (this is why I ask) give me a setup where on the first down/unknown response I get an e-mail sent to an e-mail box, on the 2nd notification I get a qpage alert sent to my cell phone, and then on the 3 alert I'll still continue to get my e-mails because the escalation for "all" has the router-ext part of it. Would this work? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.

It happens because script can't get value from interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.$ifNumber object There might be two reasons of this situation: interface hasn't set this value, or.. You still have problems with snmpget :) I don't have access to any platform works under FreeBSD, so I can't help.. Hmmm...I guess the next releases of this plugin should use Perl:SNMP module.

Message-ID: Hey I read over the page at http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#SUBMITTINGCHANGES But under 'New submissions and Patches' it doesnt say where to send a new plugin for auditing and peer review. Can I post here? If so ill attach it in a follow-up if the list maintainers are ok with it. Basically I want to create a check_snmp_[prog] branch of plugins. This way I can rely on a single mechanism to poll systems with. For example, I dont want to have to install nagios on each machine to gain access to disk checks etc. Instead Ill use snmp and do it remotely. I would use just check_snmp but I cant use it to perform calculations and in some cases theres no mib for what I want anyhow so I use Net-SNMPs extensability to make my own branches (like an oid that calls a perl program to parse the named statistic output or sendmail mail queues). So to start i wanted to keep it simple. I created a check_snmp_iferrors plugin based on the check_ifstatus plugin. An extra argument has been added (-w) which is the warn limit based on the interface input and output error counts on a given interface. seeing how my interfaces have no errors and i have no idea how to make them act like they would, I tested this setting -w = 0 and got the warn message, set it to 5, no warn message. So it looks to me to be working right but I am not sure. So ill post here if its ok. Also note this is written for for linux so you may have to change the OID values in the program to match the tree on your system. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.

I am supose to have an escalation matrix happening when a box or service goes down and it's not escalating.. I am sure it's something dumb on my part but with the complexity of the escalation/notify I am having a hard time getting my head around it.. What I want is... 1) When BOX or SERVICE goes down/into changed state for it to take 5-6 mins to be in a SOFT state, to recheck during the soft state multiple times and if it all recovers from the soft state before the interval timeout then no one gets paged.. if the box goes into a hard state it needs to do the following. Page Level one, give him/her 15 mins to acknowledge the problem re-paging him/her every 5 mins, after the first 15 mins it escaltes to Level 2 and gives Level 1 and 2 another 15 mins to acknowledge the problem again paging again every 5 mins. if after 30 mins from the start of the hard state no one acknowledges the issue then page Level 1 Level 2 and the Manager a couple of times. Below are examples of my current configs with just some names edited out.. please help me if you can :) define host{ use generic-host host_name host1 alias A Server address 0.0.0.0 parents gatewayrouter check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 3 notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,r } define service{ use generic-service host_name host1,host2,,host3,host4,host5 service_description SSH is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 2 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups poor-oncall-guy notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_ssh } define hostgroupescalation{ hostgroup_name hostgroupnamehere first_notification 2 last_notification 5 contact_groups poor-oncall-guy notification_interval 5 } define hostgroupescalation{ hostgroup_name hostgroupnamehere first_notification 5 last_notification 6 contact_groups poor-oncall-guy,rest-of-unix-admins notification_interval 15 } define hostgroupescalation{ hostgroup_name hostgroupnamehere first_notification 7 last_notification 10 contact_groups poor-oncall-guy,rest-of-unix-admins,manager notification_interval 15 } ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.

I setup the same distributed server config on another RedHat 7.2 box, and it worked flawlessly. The only difference between the two distributed servers is that the original one was installed with a high security setting during the redhat installation. The only change on the central server was to allow nsca connections from the new server. I'm not sure what security feature would prevent the service check results from being sent out. I had already double checked the permissions, and found no issues. Any ideas on what could possibly cause this?

TIA, Richard -----Original Message----- From: Burnson, Richard Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 3:53 PM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Distributed Monitoring I am trying to setup distributed monitoring with Nagios 1.0 (Stable) on RedHat 7.2.? I have the nsca daemon running on the central server, and I have been able to successfully send a service check result via nsca-send from the distributed server.? The issue appears to be that the distributed server is not executing the ocsp_command.? Here are the settings on the distributed server: 1.????? Obsess over services is enabled both globally and per service. 2.????? The ocsp_command is defined in nagios.cfg as ocsp_command=submit_check_result 3.????? "submit_check_result" is defined in the command definitions section exactly from the documentation. 4.????? The submit_check_result script was created in the libexec directory and the command definition points directly to this file. I can log in as nagios and run the submit_check_result shell script successfully, and the service check is received by the central server.?? It simply seems to be that Nagios is not executing the ocsp command with every service check.? I've tried to watch the service check as they happen via the nagios.log file and even compiled nagios with debug 3.? Is there a better way to debug this?? Anyone have any ideas on what I may be missing?

I'd think that a quick script plugin which monitors the scan rate (on Solaris, at any rate) would be desireable.

This requires that . the Nag host be set up with a machine account on the MS host that is running the program/service . the program can be converted to a service (I understand from a Windows programmer that in the case of Java applications this can be kludgy). 2 Suggested by Mr T De Blende, ' * NSClient checks to see if the program is still running. In our case, the culprit program will be appending heartbeat messages to a text file in a shared directory. A Nag service check will 'tail' that file and return a CRITICAL if it can find no log records newer (the records will have time stamps) than a the current time minus a threshold iterval (the last record in the file was logged more than 10 minutes ago). * If the program is not running, it puts a simple text file on a Windows share on the server that is supposed to be running that program. Just share a directory with write rights only for a certain account that is used by the Nagios box to make the SMB connection. * Create a small script on the Windows server that checks for the existance of that text file in that shared directory, and if it is there: 1) delete it and 2) restart the program.' (This latter program may be run by AT periodically). 3 Wait for it ... this is my idea. Write a Tk/Expect or Perl/Tk program to drive a VNC session with the host and use this VNC session to start the program. It would probably be a good thing to have the program set up to be run from the GUI (by clicking an icon that runs a bat file for example). Sheesh.

In the availability report, one of the options for First Assumed State (a drop down) is Host OK. Try setting that and recreating the availability report.

Message-ID: The problem I see is that the current revision of check_rpc (1.3.0-beta2) is dependant on specific output of rpcinfo. If the actual output of rpcinfo doesn't match any of the scripts known, hard-coded output strings, then the default state is maintained. Since the default state is 'OK', you will always get an 'OK' if the script can't parse the output of rpcinfo. Doesn't seem like totally desireable behavior to me. --Ben -----Original Message----- From: Nelson, Ben Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 3:13 PM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NIS check? After trading a couple of emails with Will Melick, it appears that the current version (beta) of check_rpc may have a bug. No matter what host addresss you give the plugin, it returns an 'OK' status. For example: $ ./check_rpc -H 999.999.999.99 -C ypbind OK: RPC program ypbind udp running This bug appears to have been introduced between version 1.2.9-4 and 1.3.0-beta2 of nagios-plugins.

Alright, while technically this works, I can see a problem reconciling the OIDs with the actual mountpoints, at least in larger systems/environments. I can imagine that dskPath.1 will almost always be "/", but I can also see that dskPath.17 on one system may well have a different mountpoint than that of another system. Setting up the first system check_snmp services for the disk percentages would take a bit of time, but not overwhelmingly so. But it does impair cut-pasting definitions from one host's services to another host's services, unless you're fond of manual reconciliation. At least with check_disk, I can specify "/" and it will always be "/", no matter which host I run it on. It shouldn't be an issue for small, repeated configurations, such as blade servers (e.g., RLX). (In case I'm being vague, I'm referring to the service_description string. What would be a way of naming it that's both economical and sensible? It would be great if the service_description could query check_snmp to get the appropriate string... however....) Now if only there were a way of passing a mount point to check_snmp as well as the OID you're looking to have it return, letting the program do the reconciliation for you, etc.... Or perhaps more economically, write a script to grok the snmpwalk output, do the reconciliation, and create the necessary service definitions automagically. But then you're faced with having to redefine the thresholds. Unless the script referred to a metaconfig file, which would then have the thresholds. Argh, this doesn't really help matters much, does it.... Thoughts? > define command{ > command_name snmp_inodes > command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp \ > -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER5$ \ > -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.10.1 \ > -w :$ARG1$ -c :$ARG2$ -l percent > } Very nice.

We use NSCA to monitor about 350 passive services onto our network. NSCA is processed through xinetd -reuse, and has Connections per second (cps) and instances set to 200, and UNLIMITED, respectively. In essence, xinetd will happily accept up to 200 connections per second. We use a wrapper to massage plugin data and pipe to send_nsca, which in turn sends these results to our nagios server. We have about 5 plugin results per server, or about 70 servers total doing this, every two minutes. What this means is, every two minutes, 70 connections are made to NSCA and processed. The *connections* themselves seem to work just fine.. xinetd spawns all the required nsca daemons and they seem to communicate well. The problem, however, is that over time, while nagios will first process all these requests without issue, every two minutes, over time, the process seems to take longer and longer, until nagios eventually begins tripping our freshness threshold, which is set at a more-than-generous 500 seconds. The box doesn't experience significant load, nor does it seem to be network-related. It appears that, for whatever reason, these requests simply don't make it into the external command pipe, or they are somehow lost in the process. I'm hoping someone more familiar with the issue than I can explain *what* NSCA does, when launched from xinetd, and "likely" blocking on the pipe as the requests go into the server. I'd hope the solution isn't "less passive checks", or "staggered more", because that suggests that Nagios won't be able to scale as we grow, and we'll reach a point where our passive requests exceed nagios' capability. -- Ken Snider Senior Systems Administrator Datawire Communication Networks Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.

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. As you can see, I'm running version 1.5. I seem to recall a recent thread which requires the newer version to use a -c switch or some such to specify the config file. If that's the case, update your xinetd config file, then pkill -12 xinetd, do another test, and see what syslog says. jc -----Original Message----- From: Justin [mailto:justin at pvamu.edu] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 5:25 PM To: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] nrpe Here is the syslog errors.

The plugins are only as good as the bug reports. Let me assure you as a part time plugin developer, the contribution of fair minded and positive persons such as yourself in pointing out defects is very welcome. Part of the aim of the list (in my view) is to lift the bar: to help people by providing them with the encouragement to do better and get across things they find challenging. Patches speak louder than words: a patch followed by why I thought it was necessary, should have been my response. I'll submerge now.

I didn't want to scatter duplicate per-host NRPE configuration files on all our clustered application and HTTP servers, didn't want to suffer the overhead of a separate ssh connection for each service on each host using check_by_ssh. I saw discussion on this list of using check_by_ssh to run multiple checks in one go and report them back to Nagios as passive results, but that would have meant constructing a separate check_by_ssh command object for each unique combination of services on our various hosts. So I wrote the following Perl script, which I call "batch_by_ssh", which acts as a frontend to check_by_ssh and automates the construction of passive-results-fetching command lines. At a high level, the approach I took was to add a new "batch" service mode that's halfway between active and passive. You define these batch services in the Nagios configuration as if they were going to run on the monitoring host (with a slightly different syntax for specifying the check command in the service object) but you set active_checks_enabled to 0 and check_freshness to 1. You can specify any number of batch services for a given host. Then you add one active service for the host, which runs batch_by_ssh. batch_by_ssh scans the Nagios configuration to find all the batch services for the host in question and runs check_by_ssh with the appropriate command line to execute them all on the remote host. Then it reports the results back to Nagios. I also have an auxiliary script that generates servicedependency objects based on the same configuration, so each host's batch services can be marked as dependent on its batch_by_ssh service. Hopefully I haven't duplicated someone else's work here, but I didn't see anything like this after searching around the net and I think it makes setting up remote monitoring a *LOT* easier. batch_by_ssh can be found at http://www.midwinter.com/~koreth/nagios/batch_by_ssh And the dependency-generating script: http://www.midwinter.com/~koreth/nagios/make_batch_dependencies See the top of batch_by_ssh for documentation on the new config items. Comments, bugfixes, etc. appreciated! Once a few people other than me have had a chance to try this out, I'll submit it to the Nagios plugins project, naturally. Here's an example configuration to probe the disk space and user count on a remote host. This is the example in the documentation at the top of batch_by_ssh, which has more details about what it all means, but hopefully it'll give you an idea of what I'm talking about. These all go in the standard Nagios config files (hence the "#<>" in front of the new keywords, so Nagios will ignore them.) -Steve P.S. Obviously you need to have passwordless ssh logins working before you can use this -- if you can't successfully run a remote command using the standard check_by_ssh plugin, this script won't be useful. --- define host { host_name myserver address 1.2.3.4 #<> $USER1$ /usr2/nagios } define command { command_name batch_by_ssh command_line $USER1$/batch_by_ssh $HOSTNAME$ } define command { command_name check_local_disk command_line $USER1$/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$ } define command { command_name check_local_users command_line $USER1$/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ } define service { use generic_service service_description ssh host_name myserver active_checks_enabled 1 check_command batch_by_ssh normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 } define service { use generic_service service_description User Count host_name myserver,otherserver active_checks_enabled 0 check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 430 ; 7 minutes = check interval + 2 retries check_command no_report ; see Nagios freshness checking docs #<> batch_type ssh #<> batch_command check_local_users!20!25 } define service { use generic_service service_description /home disk space host_name myserver,otherserver hostgroup_name group1,group2 active_checks_enabled 0 check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 430 check_command no_report #<> batch_type ssh #<> batch_command check_local_disk!10%!5%!/home } ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.

But you're right, disk space is not too scalable. I think this now merges with the other current discussion about extending check_snmp. To make it scalable and generalizable, we need to be able to 1) scan a set of OIDs 2) calculate things like sums, counts, percentages, averages So it's still got some real limitations in this respect. SNMP is so widespread and standard, however, that it seems to me well worth extending check_snmp to handle these cases. -- Karl ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.

As I recall, it was an issue with the Language NSClient 1.07.1 detects and uses for its checks. Take a look at your Application Log: When NSClient 1.07.1 starts up, it mentions the Language it uses (some Hex-Code like 0x0407). On my German systems (which would have Code 0x0409) NSClient detected 0x0407 (= english). So I just modified the counters.defs that comes with 1.07.1 to label the german counters with 0x0407 and everything went fine. -- fp -----Original Message----- From: sandro vaz [mailto:sandro at opservices.com.br] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 12:31 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Cc: 'Alessandro Ren'; dbestetti at opservices.com.br Subject: [Nagios-users] NSClient - 38 OK and 1 Down Nagiosmates: Today we have deployed 39 NT/W2K NSClients, almost with 100% success.

Much of the checks I need (ip traffic, running processes etc.) can be done with snmp. But in the "standard" AIX snmpd installation the host resources mib seems not to be implemented. There should be, however, a daemon called hostmibd (located in /sbin or /usr/sbin), which should be the host-resource subagent. This server is not installed on my machines. I'm not an AIX guru; it could be, that the software package, in which this server resides is simply not installed on my machines (or it could be IBM payware). Is somebody here, who's also monitoring AIX and has this server installed (lslpp -w output would be great!) or knows, if I have to purchase it seperately from IBM...

So I apologise now if I am asking dumb questions. I am running nagios-1.0 on Red Hat 7.3 and everything is fine until I attempt to install NSClient 1.0.7.1. The windows client is fine the problem arises when I come to compile the check_nt.c file on the Linux box, it returns the error message 'undefined reference to 'ssprintf'. Please can somebody point me in the right direction.

I was wondering if I could get my hands on the script? Management has tasked me to prove that Nagios can generate reports for specified times of day, like between 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. I know if I manually figure out the epoch times I can enter that in the url and get what I am looking for, but I need to be able to generate reports via a cron job and send to management on a daily bases. And I really have no idea how to call the cgi in a script and produce the output to another file.

I turned on debugging on nsca earlier to see if I could get more details.. What I found was that nsca seems to only be able to handle a few connections on startup, then blocks until they finish before trying to handle the others. The problem is, send_nsca times out after 10 seconds, and the trailing connections don't actually get processed. Here are all the timestamps. Look at the times the connections were "handled": Jan 17 06:26:00 nms nsca[30165]: Handling the connection... Jan 17 06:26:00 nms nsca[30166]: Handling the connection...

From what I can tell, the connections *are* handled more or less within 1-2 seconds - our time is in sync enough to have most boxes return data in that time frame. That means, by :11 or :12 or so, send_nsca has timed out, and those service checks will likely fail.

Now, note that this message indicates nothing really, a successful and an unsuccessful run ends with the same message. BUT, pick a PID *after* :10 and find its' termination time above, and compare that with a PID *before* :10. Those connections can take up to 20 seconds to close, but the latter ones close within the first second (assumably because the client nsca has hung up). Changing the send_nsca timeout to 60 seconds *completely* eliminated the problem. However, that now poses an even *more* confusing question, namely, why nsca, running from xinetd, did *not* handle the connections at once, as it should have. As I said before, xinetd is setup to allow for 200 concurrent connections, and there are no other services it is handling, so the issue was not xinetd refusing the connections, but NSCA not handling them. I think we're up against some sort of resource limitation, either in nagios, Linux, or nsca(d), since, in theory, xinetd should happily spawn up to 200 nsca processes to handle the incoming load, but it appears nsca itself won't actually process that many. -- Ken Snider Senior Systems Administrator Datawire Communication Networks Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com - A 128-bit supercerts will allow you to extend the highest allowed 128 bit encryption to all your clients even if they use browsers that are limited to 40 bit encryption.

Also, if a subnet goes down, but things are coming back up one by one, I can tell which is still down and which is still up. Makes it more efficient for mobile devices reciving said emails, too.

Quick and dirty (and unsafe): router#conf t router(config)#snmp-server community public ro router(config)#^Z 2) Make sure snmpd is installed on your linux boxes. If you have solaris, disable the snmpd master agent as well as dmi. Install net-snmp from http://www.net-snmp.org/ per the instructions. 3) Edit your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. You will need to have disk and load entries in order for the snmpd to report those. You will also need to allow access for your nagios server. Quick, dirty, unsafe: # /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf rocommunity public 192.168.1.3 # nagios server IP syslocation Somewhere syscontact Me disk / 10000 disk /var 55 load 5 5 5 4) From the nagios server (which has snmp installed, right?), test the above with: snmpwalk -m ALL -v 1 -c public myserver.mydomain.com laLoad.1 For your unix servers, you'll want: laLoad.1 # Load now laLoad.2 # Load over 5m laLoad.3 # Load over 15m dskPercent.1 # Percent used of first disk in snmpd.conf dskPercent.2 # Percent used of second disk in snmpd.conf 5) The checkcommands.cfg that comes with nagios already has a check_snmp command built in. So, you can go ahead and make a service definition using it. 6) Rather than fooling around with Cisco MIBs, I found it simpler to use the numeric OIDs for monitoring cisco gear.

Ive been wanting to take a web portal system like PostNuke (www.postnuke.com) and make a centralized NOC around it. So far Ive got the service monitoring stuff ironed out it seems with Nagios and NetSNMP. I added a snort block that uses the snort.sql database calls to get dynamic updates (modified from the SnortReport code). The idea is that I can provide an overview of the systems and network without giving anyone access to the backend of nagios or nmis (even if its a guest account) since the blocks are the actual "clients". Whats left: - NMIS,MRTG/RRDTOOL performance graphs. Problem is I had NMIS going but then my provider dumped the cisco for another device and I havent had time to revisit it till now. Anyhow the dev site this pic is taken from is still password protected until i get some more work done but I was wondering what others on the list have done to integrate stuff together.

That way, if a satellite router goes down, I get one email saying 'routerX down, hosts a,b,c,d,e,f,g now unreachable' instead of getting eight or nine emails. Also, if a subnet goes down, but things are coming back up one by one, I can tell which is still down and which is still up. Makes it more efficient for mobile devices reciving said emails, too.

The idea was for me to use check_snmp to do the monitoring. The issue is that on the service detail screen, the error message that I am receiving is: SNMP problem - No data received from the host. The check_command parameter in the services.cfg file for the printer is: chceck_command check_snmp The Codonics printer employs a hard drive running SunOS 5.x. According to the manufacturer of the printer, the SNMP daemon is automatically started upon powering up the printer. Anyone have suggestions on what I can do to expedite this?

Quick and dirty (and unsafe): router#conf t router(config)#snmp-server community public ro router(config)#^Z 2) Make sure snmpd is installed on your linux boxes. If you have solaris, disable the snmpd master agent as well as dmi. Install net-snmp from http://www.net-snmp.org/ per the instructions. 3) Edit your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. You will need to have disk and load entries in order for the snmpd to report those. You will also need to allow access for your nagios server. Quick, dirty, unsafe: # /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf rocommunity public 192.168.1.3 # nagios server IP syslocation Somewhere syscontact Me disk / 10000 disk /var 55 load 5 5 5 4) From the nagios server (which has snmp installed, right?), test the above with: snmpwalk -m ALL -v 1 -c public myserver.mydomain.com laLoad.1 For your unix servers, you'll want: laLoad.1 # Load now laLoad.2 # Load over 5m laLoad.3 # Load over 15m dskPercent.1 # Percent used of first disk in snmpd.conf dskPercent.2 # Percent used of second disk in snmpd.conf 5) The checkcommands.cfg that comes with nagios already has a check_snmp command built in. So, you can go ahead and make a service definition using it. 6) Rather than fooling around with Cisco MIBs, I found it simpler to use the numeric OIDs for monitoring cisco gear.

Also, if a subnet goes down, but things are coming back up one by one, I can tell which is still down and which is still up. Makes it more efficient for mobile devices reciving said emails, too.

I have a lot of errors when I tried to install the Rel 1.0 code on a RH 8.0 system. (I am running the 1.04 beta on a RH 7.3 system) I installed RH 8.0 via NFS, selecting "Server" Install on a dual processor Intel system. This is a 2.6 GB install. If you select "everything", it is 4.6 GB install so I did not want to do that. What I found out is that the Server Install only installed three of the packages Nagios/plugins need and of those three, it did not complete the full package install (but there was no indication of this during the install). So, after looking at all the postings here, I decided to figure out what needed to be done to get this working. It was really quite simple after all was said and done. 1. (re)Install the rpms that are needed (from the RH 8.0 CD's), using the --force option so the 3 that were installed by RH incorrectly will be fixed. First you collect the rpm files from the 3 install CDs and then install them using: rpm ?i ?force gd-1.8.4-9.i386.rpm rpm ?i ?force gd-devel-1.8.4-9.i386.rpm rpm ?i ?force gd-progs-1.8.4-9.i386.rpm rpm ?i --force libjpeg-devel-6b-21.i386.rpm rpm -i ?force libpng10-1.0.13-5.i386.rpm rpm ?i ?force libpng10-devel-1.0.13-5.i386.rpm rpm ?i --force libpng-1.2.2-6.i386.rpm rpm -i ?force libpng-devel-1.2.2-6.i386.rpm rpm ?i --force zlib-1.1.4-4.i386.rp rpm -i ?force zlib-devel-1.1.4-4.i386.rpm (note: I expect that I really did not need all 10 of these packages but it was the complete set of those mentioned at one place or another in the postings here so I (re)installed all 10) 2. Follow the instructions in the Nagios installation documentation and everything works as advertised. Pretty simple. I used the config files from my 7.3 system that is still running the 1.04 beta. I monitor a dozen systems and about 40 services. 3. Done. All is working great (of course, Nagios is a very fine monitor- my thanks to the author). I hope this helps anyone still scratching their head over install problems.

Its a white box about the size of a DSL modem that plugs into the serial port, and has a 10-baseT jack. Configure your BOOTP server with its MAC, configure the snmp adapter via direct serial interface, and then start polling over SNMP. There's also a environmental monitor you can chain onto them that gives you external temp/humidity from wherever you mount the external monitor. Its just another little white box on a serial cable. ;] Whats also handy is that the environmental monitor also has 6 relay contact switches that you can use for remote signalling via SNMP. For example, take a magnetic door sensor and put the wires into the external monitor. When the magnet moves, and the circuit breaks, the device will send an SNMP trap to your host. I think you can find these on Ebay, they fit any APC UPS on the serial port.

Looking at the scheduling queue I see that last check will sometimes be hours ago with the next check time having been passed up. Sometimes new service checks will remain in a pending state for 8 or 10 hours. Is this a known issue? If not any suggestions on how to go about starting to track downt he problem.

I tried both openvrml and freewrl, running under debian/sid, under i386 and Sparc. Both fail to display the map, whether I run them as a plug in, or save the statuswrl.cgi output to a file, then run it manually. Has anyone else managed to get either of these VRML plugins working ? Any hints or tips ? Below is the output from both plugins.

I compiled Nagios to use File Based Method and have added xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$O UTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$ xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/hostperf.log xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$ To the nagios.cfg file as described in the docs. I completely stopped Nagios and restarted it and although the files hostpref.log and servicepref.log are created by Nagios no data is written to them. Also I have noticed that although the nagios.cfg file has event_handlers enabled the tactical overview shows them as disabled. Any ideas?

I have seen other mailings on this list talking about probs with vrml plugins from their *nix boxes. They two were using openvrml and freewrl. Have you tried looking at other vrml sites to make sure your vrml client is actually working? Take a look at http://www.vrwonders.com/vrsolarsystem/frameset.htm which is another vr world. Does this work for you? Can some one using a *nix based machine mail me direct if they have been able to view the 3d status page from their box just for my peace of mind.

Problem turned out to be that the time on the server has stepping backwards and forewards due to NTP. This seems to cause Nagios to have problems with when the logs are rotated. The fix was to get the system admins to use NTP in slewing mode, rather than stepping.

Plus, the status map will reflect this hierarchy. Creating a host dependancy won't do anything to the status map. If one host is dependant on another, I suppose you could say that the services of the dependent host depend on the depended-on host, but the services of the dependent host don't depend on any services of the depended-on host, unless you explicity define that dependency. In my case, I have multiple NRPE services dependent on one particular NRPE service on the same host, but I could just as easily created the definition such that they were dependent on some arbitrary other service on some arbitrary host. (Ideally, the choice would make sense, and not be arbitrary. ;) If you can honestly say to yourself something like, "If I define dependencies such that hosts B, C, D and E are all dependent on A, and I really don't care what the status of hosts B, C, D and E are if the ping RTA time of host A goes through the roof", then you may be a good candidate to define this depedency. BUT, if host A is acting up or in a scheduled outage or similar, and any one of host B/C/D/E suffers the pingtime problem (e.g., host died a horrible death), then you won't get a notification. Sorry, you created the definition, so that's how it is. If this isn't acceptable, then I'm not sure what to say. You can put in the request for consolidating notifications, but I see some problems right away: How would you define the consolidation logic? Wait for a predefined threshold of hosts to squawk before sending the single notification? Wait for a quorum of hosts to complain? Wait for a percentage failure? What if that threshold isn't reached? Do you want it to wait a fixed amount of time before sending out the consolidated message? Do you want it to wait for a timeout of sorts (e.g., several hosts send notifications; wait 5 mins after the last one before sending out the consolidated message)? I can't help but think that defining some sort of dependency might do what you need to do. Take a look at the docs regarding host/service dependencies. I know I ended up going over them several times in order to get a clear picture of what it can do. I don't think I'm even using the full capabilities; mine is a fairly simple config by comparison (in terms of logic, anyway). Perhaps instead of having all the hosts funnel their dependencies into one particular host, divide the dependencies so that you end up with 2 'master' hosts. This would let you schedule downtime on one without ending up 'flying blind' on every other host. If one of these hosts complains, you may not be in bad shape, but if both of the hosts complain, you could have a major outage on your hands. But you'll still only receive the 2 notifications. Food for thought. jc -----Original Message----- From: Shayne Lebrun [mailto:slebrun at muskoka.com] Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 4:48 AM To: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] aggregated status messages Service dependancies....perhaps.

That way, if a satellite router goes down, I get one email saying 'routerX down, hosts a,b,c,d,e,f,g now unreachable' instead of getting eight or nine emails. Also, if a subnet goes down, but things are coming back up one by one, I can tell which is still down and which is still up. Makes it more efficient for mobile devices reciving said emails, too.

When you set up your servers to use NTP, you don't tell them to use just one. That's asking for trouble. I would recommend at least 3 servers, and preferably an odd number of servers (so as to be able to form a quorum). Depending on the environment, I wouldn't necessarily go any higher than 7 servers. That's just for creating your own corporate Stratum 3 servers. You should be fine to create just 3 servers, but feel free to create more. Make sure that they're aware of each other, with the proper configuration. I believe the term is 'peer', but it's been a while for me. You could arguably have each one of these Stratum 3 servers query a completely different set of Stratum 2 servers (from the servers your other Stratum 3 servers query). This spreads queries over a wider area, reducing potential problems even more. Having one Stratum 2 server out of sync, and all 3 of your Stratum 3 servers will have to deal with it. Having one Stratum 2 server out of sync, with visibility restricted to just one Stratum 3 server, and your servers can improve the quality even more. Depending on your environment, you might want to make your servers broadcast/multicast servers, and let your NTP clients listen passively. In this case, you might want to put a server on each of your subnets. All other hosts on your network should refer to your own Stratum 3 servers. This cuts down on the traffic going to the Stratum 2 servers, and helps you to be a good netizen. :) With this sort of configuration, any server which is seen to have lost its mind when compared to the remaining servers will be ignored, aside from querying it to see if it's managed to recover. This is true of your Stratum 3 servers (comparing the Stratum 2 servers they're aware of to each other, as well as to its peers), as well as of your clients (effectively Stratum 4 servers, albeit not serving to any other hosts).

The problem in my case was many processes trying to write to a common FIFO of sorts, which resides in the main Nagios process. All of the processes seemed to be overwriting each other in the FIFO and by default the main Nagios process only cleans this buffer out every 10 seconds (I'm pretty sure that was the default). The configuration directive that controls the cleaning frequency is the 'service_reaper_frequency'. I turned this config option down a bit at a time until my service checks were all completing in an acceptable time frame. You might give that a try. --Ben -----Original Message----- From: dan radom [mailto:dan at radom.org] Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 9:51 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] schedule queue / pending checks I have nagios monitoring about 90 hosts and close to 300 services, and I've noticed that sometimes nagios takes hours and hours to perform checks. Looking at the scheduling queue I see that last check will sometimes be hours ago with the next check time having been passed up. Sometimes new service checks will remain in a pending state for 8 or 10 hours. Is this a known issue? If not any suggestions on how to go about starting to track downt he problem.

Message-ID: <20030120151647.B14931@cadge.midwinter.com> What's the accepted way to set up monitoring of distributed or peer-to-peer services? For example, I have a server app that connects to copies of itself on other hosts to keep its data synchronized. I'd ideally like to make sure that each host is connected to all the peers it's supposed to talk to. The problem is, if hosts A, B, and C are all connected to each other, I don't want the services on hosts A and C to show up as broken if host B crashes, since I'll have already gotten a notification about host B and the error indications on the other two hosts will just be distracting clutter on the status web page. On the other hand, if there's a connectivity problem between hosts A and B but both hosts are healthy and reachable from the monitoring host, I *do* want the error condition to be flagged. (Application-level connectivity, I mean, not necessarily IP connectivity.) The best solution I've come up with is to wrap a local plugin around the call to the plugin on the remote host that checks the status of the app; the remote plugin reports back a list of peers that the app isn't connected to, and the local plugin checks the Nagios status file to make sure the app is listed as OK on all those peers. If all the problem peers are offline, the warning/critical result from the remote plugin is suppressed. Anyone have a better approach? -Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?

Configuration Documents ------------------------------------------------ AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users require valid-user ------------------------------------------------ AuthName - the realm name displayed in the Site login authentication dialogue. i.e squareBOX AuthType - is the authentication type required.

Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F250F@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> I've got quite a number of service dependencies defined, and they add absolutely nothing to the service detail page. Basically I set up a rudimentary check for NRPE ('echo "NRPE is OK"' in nrpe.cfg), and made all the other NRPE checks for that host dependent on the rudimentary check. If NRPE is down, I want *one* page, not however many NRPE checks I'm doing. Ordinarily I wouldn't expect NRPE to be down (since it's kicked off from (x)inetd), but if an admin rebuilds a host or makes some other unfortunate change to (x)inetd, we don't want to be flooded with notifications; a simple "um... excuse me? NRPE doesn't seem to be up" is just fine. My case differs from your case in that my dependencies occur on the same host, and yours occur on different hosts. Having said that, if I acknowledge that NRPE is down (the depended-on service), that doesn't automatically flag any other services, or the host itself for that matter, as being down/acknowledged/ignored. If you're still uncertain, your best bet is to create a trivial case on 2 or 3 of your lesser hosts. Use netcat to listen on some arbitrary ports, and have Nagios poke at those 'services'. Then kill netcat on the 'depended-on' host. Wait for Nagios to notify you. Acknowledge it. Kill netcat on one of the 'dependent' hosts. Wait for Nagios to notify you. And wait and wait, because you shouldn't hear a peep. Bring netcat back up on the first host. Eventually you should get a notification that the 'service' on the second host is down. In this scenario, any other services should be completely independent; Nagios should still notify you if one of those goes down. (Feel free to test this in whatever permutations/combinations with this scenario, as well.)

I have 'jdoe' and 'jim' who are sysadmins. I have services that are being monitored that some require notification 24x7 and some don't. On some services, 'jdoe' should be notified 24x7 and 'jim' only workhours and vice versa My question is, how does everyone handle this? Do I create separate contact entries for 'jdoe' for every timeperiod possible , (ex. jdoe-24x7, jdoe-work, jdoe-nonwork) and the same for 'jim'? And then create contactgroups to fit (ex. nt-admins-24x7)? Stanley G. Martin Sprint - EIS?

In advance, Thank you I made the mistake of building a gd-2.0.10 version of "pngtogd2" against my gd-1.8.4 install on RedHat 7.3. That produced gd2 images that Nagios could not load. (Try converting the gd2 images back to PNG and verify that they look OK. That was how I found this problem.) My fix was to build "pngtogd2" from the gd-1.8.4 source. Once I re-converted my PNG images everything was happy. This version of gd does not support the PNG alpha channel so I had to create indexed color images from my original PNGs and use a single color transparency instead of alpha. -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!

And really there's no way they can be, because they don't take the details of error reports into account. Here's what happens with service dependencies, again using hosts A, B, and C which are all connected to each other. I kill the app on host B as you describe, and Nagios notifies me that it's died. Host A reports an error condition because it isn't connected to host B, and thanks to the service dependency, that error doesn't cause a second notification. So far so good. Now I tweak host A so the app there can't reach its counterpart on host C, a condition which *should* trigger a notification. (The monitoring host can still reach the app on host C.) Host A reports that it can't reach hosts B or C. And notification of that error gets suppressed by the dependency on host B's service, which is still down. Nagios knows that host A's service is broken and sees that a depended-on service isn't running, so therefore it suppresses the notification without regard to *why* the failure is happening. Hope that example makes more sense than my previous ones. What I need here is a "service" that's really a comparison between Nagios' view of the current state of the world (whether the P2P app looks alive on all peers from the point of view of the monitoring host) and a plugin's view of the state of the world (whether the app looks alive on all peers from the point of view of the particular host being checked.) If the plugin and Nagios agree about what's up and what's down, it's not a failure, but any discrepancy between those two views of the world *does* indicate a problem. Even setting aside my particular setup, that ability would be of value on large networks with complex routing, anywhere it's possible for hosts to lose connectivity to each other while remaining reachable from the monitoring host. Like I said in my original message, I can work around this by parsing the status file myself, not a big problem. Once it's in a presentable state I'll post my workaround, which this discussion has convinced me to make a bit more general-purpose than I'd originally planned. -Steve On Tue, Jan 21, 2003 at 11:18:33AM -0600, Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] wrote: > I've got quite a number of service dependencies defined, and they add > absolutely nothing to the service detail page.

See the actual line the NSClient plugin is returning.

We were using Nagios 1.0b5 for several months and upgraded to version 1.0 on the new server. Installation went well, the Nagios service checks are working great but the Trends, Availability and Histogram reports have false data. The best way to explain what is happening, is by following the following. 1. Click on Availability. 2. Select Hosts. 3. Select ** ALL HOSTS ** 4. Select Last 7 Days. Upon viewing the availability report, approximately half the hosts data is correct, uptime ranging from 99.919 to 99.972 with 0.028% undetermined. But the other half of the Hosts, report 100.00% time undetermined, changing the "Report Period" to say This Month or Last Year, does yield more hosts with correct information, but many are still very incorrect. 1. Why are these hosts being reported time undetermined, when they have been monitored correctly for over 1 year? 2. Why do some hosts work and others don't? tony ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies! Can't afford IT training?

I'm hoping to get clarification, in order that you end up with a workable solution. If you're saying, "I have been constrained by management to make TempTrax work on Windows, and have Nagios work with them," you might be hard pressed to find someone doing this. (If someone jumps in and has a solution, great! Then perhaps it could be thusly noted on Ethan's site. :) Having said that, I don't know whether there's any Windows software which will monitor a TempTrax device and dovetail with perfmon. If so, then NSClient should be able to monitor that. If the above doesn't work, some options: - build out a low-end Linux box and dovetail it with TempTrax - purchase a hardware solution, and use check_snmp One possible example of the latter: http://www.akcpinc.com/company/price_list.html Get the black box (or blue, in this case), a temperature sensor, optionally a humidity sensor, assign an IP, set up check_snmp and you should be good to go. (Using an old Pentium running Linux might end up being cheaper, but you might save some time going the black box route.)

I suspect I could probably get it to fit with perfmon - it does allow you to run a program as an "alert", but this may well entail writing a bit of code to do this. I am quite happy to use nsclient to do the monitoring if possible. I will investigate this further - I don't really know windows, so I may be some time. > > If the above doesn't work, some options: > > - build out a low-end Linux box and dovetail it with TempTrax > - purchase a hardware solution, and use check_snmp > I am trying to persuade people to go for the low-end Linux box. It would only really need to run nrpe, or return a passive check to nsca. However (see 1st problem) managment would much prefer to use a Windows solution. Thanks for the idea about perfmon - will check it out.

Basically I have an LDAP service running on a remote machine and I would like to set up nagios with nrpe to try to restart the service when it detects that it has gone down. I know that this is kind of a hack, but we need our LDAP server up and we can't sit there and watch it 24x7. The vendor has been contacted to determine what is causing the instability of the program, but in the mean time I need something that will try to do some triage. Have any of you set up anything like this? I would be very interested in any solutions that you have tried for similar problems on your systems.

The syntax I use for check_nt is :- check_command check_nt!program_name1,program_name2, etc etc Where progran_name is the name of the program as it appears in the task manager. This will return an alert if *any* of the programs stop running. If you want to monitor lots and know whether any have stopped, this is fine, otherwise create a service for each program you want to monitor.

We could then slowly port the plugins themselves to use this library when someone requests a win32 version of a plugin. It might not be perfect, but at least we could move towards a more OS-independent codebase, even if we move very slowly. dave -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 11:16 AM To: 'Lennard Bakker'; Nagios List Cc: Trace McQuaig Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] nrpe for windows NRPE requires that you run plugins.

(gd2topng coredumped on me when I tried it.) The only other thing I can think of is perhaps Nagios' statusmap CGI was built against an older version of gd, in which case using the older pngtogd2 will probably help. If you installed Nagios as binaries it's likely this is causing your problems. Since you do not have the older libraries installed you would have to build the whole gd-1.8.4 set in order to make pngtogd2. (If you look at the source for this utility you can see it's just making GD calls and really nothing else.) So I would try (in order): + Rebuild Nagios from source on the system where you'll be running iy to ensure that it links with the right GD libraries. + Build gd 1.8.4 and re-convert your PNGs using the older converter. -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!

But, if you want to know why not this solution at this moment.. 1) i want to have the winnrpe running after this weekend :) 2) i don't know Apache Portable Runtime 3) I don't want to install to much stuff, to get something else running.

No. Some code like, NRPE. A service that listens at port 5666, uses the nrpe protocol, uses the same nrpe configfile and also calls external file to do a check. It doesn't nothing more than the nrpe daemon, only windows-service compatible. The NSClient runs it own checks and no external 'plugin'.

I > have confirmed that the > physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos.. and the images > are there.... I can think of two things to check, since I spent some time trying to figure out some odd image problems on my system as well. The most obvious, make sure your web server has permission to read the files. The less obvious, look for errors in your extended information configuration. If you are using templates, make sure you haven't defined a template with one name and used it with another. I've found that a single error in the extended information can cause statusmap (and other cgis that display images) to behave oddly. For example, I had the following in my hostextinfo.cfg file earlier today: define hostextinfo{ name windowshost icon_image win40.png icon_image_alt Windows host vrml_image win40.jpg gd2_image win40.gd2 register 0 } define hostextinfo{ use windows-host host_name papyrus icon_image_alt papyrus } The mismatch between the name and use statements caused not only the windows hosts to not display but for some reason about half of my routers and switches (the other half displayed fine). Correcting this one typo made everything that was displaying as a ? display with the correct graphics. Also, if you look at the status summary and click on a host, do you see the icons there? > On Wed, 2003-01-22 at 17:29, Potter, G M (Greg) wrote: >> I am using png images for my icons.

And who will create them? The sort plugins is perl scripts, or (console)executables (.exe/.com files). Or anything that can be executed on a windows system. The same that you can use anything to create a plugin on linux as long it can be executed on linux. And these scripts are custum made for me, or i will created them myself. Mostly it will be perl scripts, that need to be started with test data as input. These scripts wil process the (test)data and check the result if it is as expected. These scripts are already made that the output is nagios compatible (1 line of output, and a errorlevel as result). command[check_dummyOK]=c:\winnrpe\check_dummy.exe -CRIT > > I think I missed something somewhere.... > > jc > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Lennard Bakker [mailto:bakkerl at lamp.xs4all.nl] > > Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 5:58 PM > > To: Nagios List > > Cc: Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] > > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] nrpe for windows > > > > > > On Thu, 2003-01-23 at 00:02, Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] wrote: > > > So in essence, you're going to build some sort of > > monolithic code which is > > > perhaps similar to NSClient in design, but it uses the NRPE > > protocols? > > > > No. Some code like, NRPE.

It would probably be better to set up two service checks, one being the network based check_ldap plugin and the other, a check_ldap_procs check to see if the processes are running and restart the server if needed via nrpe (or whatever). My nrpe check only gets called on a service notification event now. I should probably change it to something like I described above so it is more responsive... I made a fake contact person and contact group and everything. muhaha I shouldn't abuse nagios like this... poor poor nagios. I know, I'm sick.

If the base PNG images don't work, then you have some problems that are not directly related to GD. Look over your templates closely and follow the chain of references starting at your nagios.cfg file to ensure that everything is where you think it is. I had several problems related to me changing a config file that wasn't even referenced anywhere. ("Now why didn't that change anything? *scratches head*"). As was already suggested, look close for typos. Try reducing the extended host info to its bare minimum. In particular verify: cgi.cfg: should have the line "xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg" or something similar hostextinfo.cfg: Simplify this file so it only has one entry similar to: define hostextinfo{ host_name testhost icon_image testhost.png icon_image_alt testhost image statusmap_image testhost.png } You should not have to reload Nagios to see the change-- just reload the CGI in your browser. I doubt your problems are GD related if the PNG files won't display either. -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!

In this case it only matches one. The "[n]" literal shows up in the process list on the grep command. However, [n] evaluated by grep down to become "n" does not match the "[n]" it sees in the process list so your grep won't show up.

The same that you can use anything to create a plugin on linux as long it can be executed on linux. And these scripts are custum made for me, or i will created them myself. Mostly it will be perl scripts, that need to be started with test data as input. These scripts wil process the (test)data and check the result if it is as expected.

A quick test starting the daemon from the command line and use the check 'command[check_nrpe]=echo "NRPE is OK"' succeeded. With cygrunsrv you can possibly start it as service in daemon-mode. A second possibility is to install a SSH Service on NT4/W2K and use check_by_ssh. And a third possibility is to install "Remote Shell Service" from the resource kit and use rsh to execute your checks. I do not know, if rsh is returning the error-code of your check. If it does not you have to wrap the rsh-call in a script that parse the return-string and build an error-code on the Nagios host. -vol > -----Original Message----- > From: Lennard Bakker [mailto:bakkerl at lamp.xs4all.nl] > Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 12:58 AM > To: Nagios List > Cc: Carroll, Jim P " "[Contractor] > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] nrpe for windows > > > On Thu, 2003-01-23 at 00:02, Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] wrote: > > So in essence, you're going to build some sort of > monolithic code which is > > perhaps similar to NSClient in design, but it uses the NRPE > protocols? > > No. Some code like, NRPE.

For the past two days I had tried everything to get images working on the statusmap. Until last night... I had created a PNG using GIMP on Win32 (40 x 40 px) and scp-ed the file over to my test box running nagios. I then converted the PNG to GD2 format using the following command: pngtogd2 pc.png pc.gd2 1 1 (cos i didn't know what the chunk size did). I restarted the nagios process and i still had no images on the statusmap (just the question mark). I searched through the mailing list archives, the FAQ, the documentation for over an hour and finally found a note about pngtogd2. Using the following command: pngtogd2 pc.png pc.gd2 0 1 solved the problem. Nagios seems to what fully uncompressed gd2 images - anything else and it just won't display the image - maybe this is an issue with CPU computation time (i.e. nagios seeing the file is compressed / too big and just not bothering / unable to render it... I've only one issue outstanding and that's a problem with the gd2 image... you can see the problem at this URL: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~redgiant/mangled-image-file.jpg If anyone could advise as to where the problem may be occurring I'ld appreciate it.

My hosts icons showed up as a question mark. I think this is the unknown.png or perhaps unknown.gdw icon. When I ran nagios -v there were no reported errors, but it turned out one of my hostextinfo entries had a typo. It was a new type of host I had just added and I copied a previous entry and modified it. Well in my modification I left 2 characters from the previous name, causing it not to match the other entries. It was a template definition. Once I fixed the spelling the Icons appeared as before. Just a thought, but you might double check your hostextinfo file, perhaps removing all entries but one. If this works, add them back in until the problem is located.

On the test system everything works just fine. On the production system nagios cannot get a return value from the snmp daemon. OS : Redhat Linux 7.2 SNMP : net-snmp rpm Heres what I have checked so far: 1. Iptables : fine, for kicks i zeroed them out and still got no response 2. Checked the snmpd.conf file. exact same file (different community string though). No problems 3. Tried the net-snmp snmpget and walk commands like so (AS the nagios ID) snmpwalk localhost -c ******* oid which worked fine. 4. So i rechecked my cfg files (checkconfig and services.cfg). Heres an example entry for the services file It works so its not something related to the userid. check_snmp_str!localhost!.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.101.1!""!******!"STRING: " I see no problems. 5. So as the nagios id i then run the libexec/check_snmp program passing it the above information. It works as well 6. Recompiled with debug0 and debug5, they dont give that much info. What debug level shows me the function call along with the data passed and the return data recieved? So what could be causing the nagios client to not be able to connect to the snmpdaemon? All im getting back on this box is "SNMP problem - No data recieved from host " Oh i just thought of something else, the test box runs under the nagios id, the production box a different id. In both cases thouhg i can su to the id and run the check_snmp script without a hitch, just not on the production box from nagios. Any ideas?

Added the icon_image, hostinfo pop up box showed the redhat icon, as well as the other cgi's (except for statusmap and staus summary). Added the png for statusmap, still no change in status map or status summary.... I noticed that in the nagios.cfg under the "Object Confiuration Files" I noticed all of the other cfgs were listed, so I added this to that section: cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg and what I got when I tried to access the cgi's, is that most of them gave me a no permissions error, the status map gave me "you have not supplied coordinates..." I could view the tactical overview cgi...so I removed that line and all went back to normal (or at least to where I was) so there is no icons in statusmap or status summary... there is one other thing that I did notice in the cgi.cfg there is a line for back ground... #statusmap_background_image=smbackgound.gd2 now I assumed that this was for you to specify your own "customized background" and that Nagios used maybe built in "default" background...this doesn't need to be specified does it?

It works fine, but the Web UI seems to make no distinction between a service that's defined as passive-only in the configuration and one for which active checks have been manually disabled using the UI. It shows both types as "disabled," which while technically correct in terms of active checks, is pretty misleading since the passive services are still getting updated as intended. Worse, it draws attention to the passive services, e.g. on the tactical overview page, where there's a big red "N services disabled" block that looks like it's an error indication. Is there any way to get the UI to treat passive-only services as something healthy and not worthy of special attention? -Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From dan at remics.net Thu Jan 23 19:38:04 2003 From: dan at remics.net (dan at remics.net) Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2003 13:38:04 -0500 Subject: Command Definitions In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I don't know if this is already in the archives (Sourceforge's search engine is currently misbehaving), but I need a little help with host & service command definitions.

I recently added SNMP monitoring to a completely functional nagios installation. I have about 80 services that use check_snmp. On two hosts, I see recurring errors as above, "No data received from host". We have 156 services total that we are monitoring. I've done extensive testing to prove to me that snmpget on the nagios server functions correctly. I also did some load testing against the two problem hosts and was NEVER able to get snmpget to fail. However, by putting a shell-script wrapper around snmpget and using that to log all calls from check_snmp, I am seeing cases where check_snmp *apparently* doesn't get any data back from snmpget. I believe this is an issue with check_snmp. I have tried several versions of the net-snmp/ucd-snmp package on both the nagios server and the affected hosts. That had no effect. I have tried both 1.3.0b2 and 1.3b1 of the nagios-plugins. Persistently "re-scheduling service checks" will cause this problem to disappear, sometimes for several days at a stretch.

For example, in this ficticious example suppose a plugin has an "--exclude" option that only some hosts need. Then with embedded spaces you could use: command_line check_service $ARG1$ check_command check_service!--exclude="exluded thing" only on the subset of hosts that needed it without having to define a dedicated command for each possible "--exclude" option. With that said, I haven't tried this to see if it works. ;-) -- Steve On Thu, 23 Jan 2003, Jon Lyons jlyons30-at-yahoo.com |Nagios| wrote: > > Why not; > /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ > & > check_http!www.mydomain.com!testscript.pl > dan at remics.net wrote: > I don't know if this is already in the archives (Sourceforge's search engine is currently misbehaving), but I need a little help with host & service command definitions. > > I was wondering, can command argument macros contain spaces? for instance if I have the following: > > define command{ > command_name check_http > command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http $ARG1$ > } > > Can I then construct a service definition like this: > > define service{ > host_name host1 > service_description Check Virt Server > check_command check_http!-H www.mydomain.com -u /testscript.pl > ... > > I know there doesn't seem like a good reason to do this (and that I should just use multiple macro arguments), but I have my reasons. > > Thanks. > > Daniel Koffler > dan at remics.net > http://www.remics.net > Tel: 514.497.1411 > Fax: 206.600.4642 > GPG Key ID: 0xA2C6DC83 Fingerprint: 1FD7 3FDF 8A0D 961F 26A2 3EDA AE8F A874 A2C6 DC83 > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

I figured, however, that if I could read, I could configure. Looks like I figured dead wrong. I've gotten this far, but now I seem to be running into a brick wall. I've followed the directions in the manual about enabling authentication in Apache. I have the definitions in httpd.conf from setting up the aliases earlier in the "setting up for web access" directions. The only differences I can find are the fact that the name of the directory is not in quotes here in the "Authentication and Authorization in the CGIs" section and there is no Options None setting in the definition in the "Authentication etc." Do I need two of these definitions? That doesn't sound right... Then it says to create identical .htaccess files in /usr/local/nagios/sbin and /usr/local/nagios/share with contents according to the manual, which I did. Then it says to use htpasswd to create users for htpasswd.users and set their passes, which I did. Now when I attempt to access the webserver it never accepts my password on either of the two users I created. Does there HAVE to be a user called "nagiosadmin?"

For now, I'm using a shell trick so that it works, but I think that Nagios should definitly has a $SERVICESTATEVALUE$ macro or whatever, which would be usable eveywhere that $SERVICESTATE$ is... The alternative is also to modify nsca and send_nsca, but at the end of the day, it could be more usefull in nagios itself. Any comments / Thoughts ?

I have the definitions in httpd.conf from setting up the aliases earlier in the "setting up for web access" directions. The only differences I can find are the fact that the name of the directory is not in quotes here in the "Authentication and Authorization in the CGIs" section and there is no Options None setting in the definition in the "Authentication etc." Do I need two of these definitions?

You need more then gd , you need the gd-devel too and many others try write in terminal rpm -q gd gd-devel libpng libpng-devel libjpeg libjpeg-devel (rpm is the redhat software package manager and the params are only to ask if there are these packs) and the output may be like this gd-1.8.4-9 gd-devel-1.8.4-9 libpng-1.2.2-8 libpng-devel-1.2.2-8 libjpeg-6b-21 libjpeg-devel-6b-21 if you dont have some - try www.rpmfind.org to download.

After finding out that plugin versions were different on the systems, I updated the production box and still had the same error even though the -v switch does work now. So i wanted to really be sure the code was the same so i compared md5 checksums on both tarballs. Both match. I then look at the check_snmp.c and check_snmp.o files and got this -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93038 Jan 21 07:35 check_snmp -rw-r--r-- 1 5313 5313 26494 Nov 15 23:06 check_snmp.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58648 Jan 21 07:35 check_snmp.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 90143 Jan 24 07:07 check_snmp -rw-r--r-- 1 5313 5313 26494 Nov 15 23:06 check_snmp.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63092 Jan 24 07:07 check_snmp.o So i ran a diff on the check_snmp.c file and it all compares fine. As for the other 2 binary files, they dont matchup. There is a hardware difference (first is a single processor and the second is from the production dual processor) and Im going to start looking at the rpm versions for the RedHat base to see what could be causing the filesize diff on the compiled results. To save me some time though, anyone know offhand if the hardware differences would result in the larger binaries? BTW the production box is still "in-dev" and not plugged into a public network and no tripwire alerts have been flagged >From testing check_snmp the "hang" issue gets fixed if i remove the -d option.

Message-ID: Our newly upgraded Nagios 1.0 server has been having problems displaying the correct information in the Availability cgi screen. If I select All hosts for Today, most of the host have the correct 99.997 uptime, but many others either repot 100% undetermined or approx 95% down, when in actuality all host should be report up near 100% for the day. In try to figure out a solution, I noticed that if I change the Assume State Retention to no, then all host are reported with accurate %time up. We are using state retention and it was working prior to this upgrade. questions: What does this Assume State Retention button do? How can I fix all my hosts such that they are reported correctly?

One of the design goals of defining parents (IMHO, through observation) was to cut down on notifications. Suggesting to make a trade-off by increasing the verbosity of a single notification seems to me to be a step backwards. But what about this: In the host definition for the router, why not put something meaningful in the alias declaration? Something like: define host { host_name router01 use router-tmpl alias Router for 20 critical hosts address 1.2.3.4 } Alternatively, make alias something like: alias Router for host1-host20 or perhaps: alias Router responsible for sleepless nights Surely you can put something in there which is a pleasant balance between 'brief' and 'informative'.

By being in XML you just load an XML parser and you are done. As it is now, you have to have custom magic to understand the current format, which is not reusable anywhere else. I do concur, XML would be VERY nice. BTW, are there any other admin tools for Nagios? I used one on netsaint, which is not available for nagios.

Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F2521@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> You need the plugins compiled for the architecture of the client host and install them there, regardless. I prefer NRPE. Others prefer using check_by_ssh. Still others prefer using check_snmp. Some use NSCA, but primarily for running a child Nagios server, sending the results to the main Nagios server. (Still others prefer nagios_statd.) For Windows clients, you have a choice of NSClient. Or to get creative. :^) At least one individual has tried to get NRPE to work under Cygwin. (I'm not too sure how far he got. I do wonder what he would have used for plugins.) Quite recently, Lennard Bakker has indicated that he intends to write a version of NRPE for Windows, then create plugins for that environment. Stay tuned. With the exception of NSClient, it pretty much boils down to using whatever fits your needs. check_by_ssh can leverage pre-existing 'permit ssh' rules in firewalls, but doesn't scale well because of the computational overhead. You might find that you'll need to attemt a trivial case of at least a few options, just to see which ones seem pretty reasonable, and which ones seem to require more hand crafting. For example, I avoided nagios_statd, because it required installing Python. Not because I have anything against Python, but rather to save having to maintain another language environment across all hosts. I've created NRPE tarballs: One for Solaris 2.6, one for Solaris8, and one for RH Linux. Whenever a new host needs this, I drop it in place and push the latest nrpe.cfg file to it. (Eventually these should get added to the Jumpstart/Kickstart servers, as appropriate.) Just to set your expectations: prepare to get a handful of differing opinions on this, dabble a little, then pick the one that's right for *you*. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com [mailto:Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com] > Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:41 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] executing local plugins on remote servers... > > > Am I correct in thinking that you have to have one of the following to > execute the plugins on remote servers: > > This will let you have the plugins on the main server, but > execute them > locally and remotely? > Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) 1.8 > > And with these, you have to have the plugins on each server? > Nagios Java System (nsjs) > Nagios Service Check Acceptor (NSCA) 2.2 > > Anyone have any thoughts/prefs?

Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F2522@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> Looks interesting. But for my needs, I'd rather not consolidate all the definitions into one mondo config file. If anything, I'm trying to break my overall config into the smallest chunks possible. Once 2.0 is released, I intend to create hostname directories (using the recursion feature of cfg_dir which is expected to be available), e.g.: /usr/local/nagios/etc/configs/Solaris/myhost01 and within that directory, there would be fragments such as host.cfg, ssh.cfg, http.cfg and whatever other services/dependencies I can put in there. It would be quite nice if there were some other level of inheritance, so as to save modifying each/every definition with the required hostname. Create a new host directory, drop in the definitions, and you're pretty much done. But I digress. Coding the XML definitions by hand shouldn't be too painful. It should require some enhancements to the pre-flight check, so that additional XML-type syntax errors are caught. (Alternatively, if there are already any tools out there which can already do this, all the better for us.) I'm sure that some sort of configuration tools will help out the more generic environments, but it might be somewhat limiting. Ultimately, the configuration tool I'm using is 'vi'. Put me down for, "Yeah, looks interesting, I'll definitely give it a go once it's available, but the lack of XML today isn't hampering me." jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Brandon Gillespie [mailto:brandon at roguetrader.com] > Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 4:46 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net; > nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios config -- not xml? > > > Steve Burton wrote: > > But for those of us who just configure it, having to type > all the xml > > froth would be a royal pain.

If you have a relatively consistent community string(s) across devices on your net AND/OR your are concerned about operator types/(anyone with config viewing privileges) knowing the community string, you can use the USERx macros. define a USERx macros for the community string in resource.cfg and then replace the "-C community" with "-C $USERx$".

If the xml is really *so* close to what we have now then why bother. Writing a program to use the 'block syntax' used now is not difficult as it's well defined. Ethan can do it. I can do it (and I suspect I'm not half the programmer he is). So why waste time and effort to increase the complexity in the config. The complexity is supposed to be in the software, that's why I use/write software, to hide the complexity so I only have to deal with it once.

Then you of all people should understand the desire to have XML. You reduce complexity even IN the software, by using precooked parsing routines (there are a few open-source XML parsers, expat comes to mind). It also makes it easier for people writing add-on software of ANY variant, to be able to handle the config file format without much grief. As it is now, it becomes more complex because it is a custom/proprietary format. Regardless of the human element, as it is now makes it harder and more complex, not vise versa. Using open/common standards makes it easier and less complex, regardless of if the format itself is a bit more syntactically heavy (which XML is).

With the current (or future planned) config format (mind you I still havn't dug into it all that deeply) can you source-in and reuse configs? A lot of my servers fit a standard profile, a common set of services etc. I could probably create three or four common profiles and be able to target 90% of my servers, by just reusing that service list (i.e. ... ). Ultimately, this would make it even smaller chunks. Same thing could be implemented using the current format, really has nothing to do with XML. > Once 2.0 is released, I intend to create hostname directories (using > the recursion feature of cfg_dir which is expected to be available), > e.g.: > > /usr/local/nagios/etc/configs/Solaris/myhost01 > > and within that directory, there would be fragments such as host.cfg, > ssh.cfg, http.cfg and whatever other services/dependencies I can put > in there.

You will end up getting document-rot (two copies of similar data and it is inevitable you will need to make a common change, and forget to do it in one file... rot). Just having started to dig into nagios, what I have found is configuring it is a bitch--not very well documented (sorry! Lots of docs true, just not very straight forward). The config files have reached a point where it IS easier to manage them with a GUI--some have existed for netsaint and may be ported some day, maybe not. The only one i've seen could use improvement--it is more work to get it going than it is just to edit them by hand (and even then it doesn't work right). Regardless, this is a pain point imho. And I have no idea why I've been dragged into this debate 8) What we do when in the balloon headed haze of cold medicine. I _have_ been through this discussion before on other issues, and I do believe sticking to an XML based standard is better in the long run, all the way around (open standards==good). -Brandon Gillespie (Oh, and I also use vi to edit my configs :) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From rplewe at ess.nec.de Sat Jan 25 12:54:05 2003 From: rplewe at ess.nec.de (Rasmus Plewe) Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2003 12:54:05 +0100 Subject: [off topic] forums for nagios mail lists In-Reply-To: ; from jragle@unm.edu on Fri, Jan 24, 2003 at 04:36:44PM -0700 References: Message-ID: <20030125125405.D1453@ess.nec.de> On Fri, Jan 24, 2003 at 04:36:44PM -0700, Jamin wrote: > > Seeing how active this mail list is, it seems to me that a online forum > would help curb a whole lot of repeat questions to the lists.

I have acknowledged the problem, I have disabled all service checks (passive and active) I have disabled notifications. But it still sends them!!!!! Is there a new configuration option I have missed?

This happens regardless of the number of retries configured. As far as I understand this behaviour is expected and documented (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/statetypes.html), however I would like to have the following behaviour: Whenever a service that is in hard warning state fails a single check it goes into soft critical state and only after failing number-of-retries consecutive checks goes to hard critical. This is how my old Netsaint behaved - I guess I must have configured this somehow but even after doing an extensive search through the confgifiles and documentation/faq I am unable to figure out how to achieve this behaviour again.

Thanks The plugin needs permission to bind to port 68 (ie, needs to be running as root). When you ran it from the command line, it was running as root, and therefor worked. Your nagios installation probably isn't running as root, and therefor the plugin isn't either. Perhaps you could work around this by making the check_dhcp plugin SUID root, and only executable by the nagios group? This would help prevent possible security issues in the check_dhcp plugin, but would allow it to bind to port 68. M -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <35666012DF4CD411BE940090279FA24003CADE39@ppnt41.physics.ox.ac.uk> Very interesting that this XML debate has come up. I spent several days last week re-writing some of my core Nagios config files in XML then using XSLT to transform them into the current Nagios format. What does XML buy you? 1. Ability to write a schema to check that you have your syntax correct. (OK, pre-flight check _probably_ does most of this already, but I'm sure an XML schema with a schema validating parser would be MUCH easier) 2. Single, standard, format, rather than current split format (i.e. some files are flat VARIABLE_NAME VALUE format, and some are pseudo object definitions with "define NAME {...}". 3. Much simpler layout to avoid massive cross-referencing which _does_ do your head in (this was the reason I started re-writing my configs in XML). 4. Collapse 5 different config files into 1 (OK, maybe 2 if you want to keep CGI or Resource separate). Currently there is: i) Main nagios.cfg file ii) resource.cfg file iii) hosts.cfg file (object definitions -- probably pointing to cfg_file and cfg_dir meaning lots of others files are used as well) iv) cgi.cfg v) extended config file. 5. Make use of network definitions for other monitoring or maintenance applications. Below, you can see an example of my new "hosts" file which describes nodes in the network I am monitoring. XML provides a tree structure, but can be "enhanced" to graphs by using cross references. Trees are a perfect starting point for allowing the XML itself to represent the basic network topology. Furthermore, if I want a new service, I just add to the particular node and, voila, that node now has that service defined for it. All the details about the IP address or node name are "in context" from the XML, and the "generic" service template is used. If I want a custom service definition for that node, instead of having I would have Anyway, it seems like there are interested parties in making this happen -- I certainly do not feel that the current configuration system is scalable to extremely large systems (hundreds nodes) quickly and easily. Here is a taste of my XML: admins Computing Element 01

The string check only applies to one OID - it does not default across the bunch (though on reflection, perhaps it should). This is true of any retrun type. I know from memory that you can read the free bytes and specify multiple critcal and warning thresholds to get the behaviour you want. I don't recall if it works that way for strings, or if it is still to be implemented - read the source to see, I guess. -- Karl ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com Mon Jan 27 15:56:48 2003 From: Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com (Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com) Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 08:56:48 -0600 Subject: is it possible to have check_procs -a or -C look for multiple processes Message-ID: I can run check_procs -a myprocess and it will find it.

In the case of a lot of XML I have to agree with this, but for a nagios config I don't see a lot of extra "cruft" you would have to type. With the exception of some < and > characters I think you are already typing most of it today. In fact, if it is all collapsed into a single config file you would be typing *less*, since you wouldn't have to repeat data in multiple files (unless you wanted to). Initially I was against the idea of the nagios configs being in XML, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's a good idea. It would make it much easier to develop tools to manipulate the files and as someone else already said, make it easier to verify the data in the files is correct. > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Burton [mailto:steve at sliderule.demon.co.uk] > Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 2:47 PM > To: Brandon Gillespie > Cc: Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net; > nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios config -- not xml? > > > > > Brandon Gillespie wrote: >> >> Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com wrote: >> > I second your first comment about it being a pain.

Resin is a servlet/JSP engine which can also serve up static pages as well as dynamic. (details can be had at http://www.caucho.com/resin/) The problem is that Nagios keeps generating a "warning" status for the http service, even though the service is up. Nagios doesn't even seem to indicate a problem, other than indicating a warning status. (i.e. response time is good, etc.) The Resin server is serving up the https pages just fine. Hitting it with different browsers (IE6, Konqueror) works fine. Also Nagios is working fine with other web servers (Zeus, IIS). I've checked the syntax and run the check_http manually with the command line and it works fine too. The response from the plugin is always "HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 200 OK - 0 second response time" The only difference I can come up with is that the http response from the Resin server comes back as "HTTP/1.0" as opposed to all the other web servers which return a "HTTP/1.1" Could this be causing a problem for Nagios? Below are full details about platforms, versions, relevant lines from config files, etc. As mentioned above, this Nagios config works just fine with my other servers. Any ideas are appreciated. -David Nagios version: Nagios 1.0 Copyright (c) 1999-2002 Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org) Last Modified: 11-24-2002 License: GPL Nagios server is running on Solaris 8.0 with latest Maintenance Updates/ patch clusters. check_http plugin version: admin at nagios:>check_http -V check_http (netsaint-plugins 1.2.9-4) 1.32.2.6 services.cfg: check_command check_https!hosta.mydomain.com!/test/test?act=login&id=123ABC123 commands.cfg: # 'check_https' command definition define command{ command_name check_https command_line /apps/nagios/libexec/check_http -S -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H $ ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ -t 40 -e 200 } hosts.cfg: # 'hosta' host definition define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name hosta alias AliasA address 2.3.4.5 parents parenta check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 120 notification_period normal notification_options d,u,r } Running the check_http command manually using the same parameters that Nagios uses, works fine: check_http \ -S -I hosta.mydomain.com \ -H web.mydomain.com \ -u '/test/test?act=login&id=123ABC123' -t 40 -e 200 It returns a normal status: "HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 200 OK - 0 second response time" >From the "Service State Information" page on Nagios: Current Status: WARNING Status Information: HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 200 OK - 0 second response time Current Attempt: 3/3 State Type: HARD Last Check Type: ACTIVE Last Check Time: 01-27-2003 12:07:23 Status Data Age: 0d 0h 2m 11s Next Scheduled Active Check: 01-27-2003 12:12:23 Latency: 1 second Check Duration: < 1 second Last State Change: 01-27-2003 10:27:32 Current State Duration: 0d 1h 42m 2s Last Service Notification: 01-27-2003 11:27:32 Current Notification Number: 2 Is This Service Flapping?

It also doesn't seem to specify any state (OK, WARNING, CRITICAL, UNKNOWN). At best it looks like a good starting point for designing a plugin but in itself does not appear that it will work as one without a good bit of re-design. I also fail to see any reason for having to have the MIB file from Codonics as the references for the SNMP queries appear to be in numeric notation so the MIB is not really needed...

I'm running Nagios 1.03 on HPUX 11.0, I used gcc 3.1 and gmake 3.79.1 to build it. Nagios seems to build fine and installs fine also. I followed the directions and setup apache to see the nagios/ and nagios/cgi-bin/ dirs correctly. I'm not having any problems getting to the main web pages or the cgi-bins. However, it seems when the cgi-bins are called, they all return an error. The error I'm getting is: Error: Could not open CGI config file '@sysconfdir@/cgi.cfg' for reading! My cgi.cfg file is in /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg as are the rest of my config files. The cgi.cfg file has 777 perm. I took all the defaults for the config and install so the default vaules in the config files should all work ok. I've checked them to be sure though. Just to verify, I even blew away the entire install and build tree and started from scratch. I get the same problem. Anyone have a suggestion on this? It's like the @sysconfdir@ is not being defined to the cgi's so they can't find the config file. But I can't find where that is suppose to be defined. Any and all help or ideas are appreciated - I'm getting really frustrated.

If this sort of a config approach (edit XML, use XSLT to create current format) is something which can be easily added into Nagios today, then perhaps a HOWTO which can be added to the FAQ over on www.nagios.org would be of value to others of us out there...? Maybe a tarball of sample files which could be downloaded...? It might help to postpone adding Yet Another Wish List Item to the list of things that Ethan already has on his plate. What tool do you use for editing the XML file? vi?

(I.e. the "configure" script wasn't generated properly for your HP-UX host.) Your best bet is to "make distclean", delete/rename the "configure" and "subst" scripts, and then run "autoconf", followed by the usual "./configure" + make. Be sure that you have a recent version of autoconf installed first.

The vast majority of these checks are via nsca/send_nsca, with the only active checks being host-checks, and ping checks. nsca is running via Xinetd, command_check_interval is -1, reaper frequency is 5, and everything works reasonably well. Services are configured to check in every 2 minutes. My issue is, the box is *always* at 100% CPU. At first, I figured this was related to the 50 or so send_nsca connections (and subsequent dumps to Nagios' pipe) that occur every two minutes via nsca. However these are dealt with within 20 or so seconds, leaving about a minute and a half where all Nagios is really doing is pinging.. yet the CPU usage remains. My next thought was the command_check_interval being -1. setting it to 1 had no difference. I tried raising the reaper interval to 10 seconds as well, no difference. I lowered the max_concurrent_checks to 40, no change. consistently 100% use. Set the status_update interval to 30 seconds, to make sure it wasn't the writes to the status file, nothing (yep, aggregate writes is on). The system, BTW, is RH8, PIII-750, with 256 MB RAM and a Gig of Swap. The box is using a whopping 60MB of ram. The box almost never uses IO (save the mad rush every two minutes from NSCA), and has nothing else of import (or load) running. Load is all from the parent nagios process. So, here's my question.. is this load, perhaps, *normal*? Is a P-III 750 really, truly maxed out with about 50 active services (ping mainly), and 300 passive services running? I personally find that difficult to believe, but I like to hear everyone's thoughts on the subject. ;) Thanks in advance. :) -- Ken Snider Senior Systems Administrator Datawire Communication Networks Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From skertzman at servervault.com Tue Jan 28 03:16:40 2003 From: skertzman at servervault.com (Kertzman, Sam) Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 21:16:40 -0500 Subject: Nagios config -- not xml?

A ton of added complexity. Every time the CGI's run, they read the cgi.cfg file. If you use a standard-library xml parser, the amount of code run and/or size of executable will be much larger. If you use a simplified single-purpose xml parser (which I have written and used in the past) then you loose the advantage of standard library code. > 1. Ability to write a schema to check that you have your syntax correct. > (OK, pre-flight check _probably_ does most of this already, but I'm sure an > XML schema with a schema validating parser would be MUCH easier) Actually the pre-flight check is the only check that matters. If the application you are configuring cannot read the config files, then any other check is secondary. If the data fits the schema, but the pre-flight check fails, then it still fails. > 2.

Of course the things that are using a simple format are simple things to configure, using xml will only add characters to the simple things, which because they are simple don't need complex data representation. > 3.

The cgi.cfg and ext*info.cfg files are read by the cgis and should be separate so they don't have to parse through a giant config file when they run. This is a scaling issue. Also, permission issues for the files should be considered. Perhaps I want all the config for a group of servers in a single file, and only certain admins have access to the configs for certain servers. Perhaps only the nagios administrator can change the nagios.cfg file The split-up config files confer a number of benefits. > 5.

Perhaps for different people with different backgrounds things are different, but this format is every bit as hard to read as the existing format, and xml is a lot more syntactically heavy. Please don't add extra, unneeded complexity to the file formats. Currently they are simple. Simple is good. XML is not simple. XML is complex and through it's complexity brings some benefits, however, the existing formats deliver what you need, and are simple and easy to debug by hand, which XML is not. kertzman ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From nagios at nagios.org Tue Jan 28 06:09:44 2003 From: nagios at nagios.org (Ethan Galstad) Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 23:09:44 -0600 Subject: Nagios config -- not xml?

A few people had suggested XML config files before I started writing the template-style format code, but I didn't care for it. XML is too chatty for my liking when I'm editing config files by hand. Plus, an XML parser would add to the overhead of the daemon and CGIs. I don't know how much overhead exactly, but it would probably be more than the overhead of the current template-based routines. I would tend to steer people towards Ian Stokes' idead to generate template-style config files from an XML source, rather than making Nagios process the XML natively. The same thing holds for native DB support of config data. Its better to write a few scripts to generate template-style config files from a DB source, rather than have Nagios check the DB natively. Some people want to use a DB as a backend, some want XML files, others might want something different. The easiest thing to do is make everyone convert to a common denominator - the template-style config files.

Probably several instances of Nagios running. Stop Nagios, check for remaining Nagios processes (ps -ef | grep nagios), and kill them. Start Nagios again, and you should be fine.

This should be from the viewpoint of the nagios server, see the documentation for further information. E.g. Define host{ host_name big_lan_switch ...... } Define host{ host_name my_server parents big_lan_switch .... } Will draw the statusmap showing 'my_server' connected to the 'big_lan_switch'.

I don't think too many people are running embedded Perl Nag/Netsaint (ePN) with Perl 5.8.0. This Perl is a pretty different beast (apparently) with a different thread implementation and platform independent (bypasses stdio) IO. Does the mini-epn in the contrib directory build and run ? When this dumps (if it builds) it may give you a better back trace. Sounds like more ePN porting work necessary. > (gdb) bt > #0 0x45017e7e in Perl_PerlIO_stdout () from /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686- > linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so > #1 0x450183f4 in PerlIO_stdoutf () from /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux- > thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so > #2 0x08051364 in main () > #3 0x450c72e6 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6 > > The OS I'm running is openna linux (www.openna.com) with Perl 5.8.0 > > Anyone saw that before, or have clue on a possible fix ? > > NB : Everything is working fine without embeded perl. > You may be able to workaround it by installing Perl 5.6.1 in a different location and then building the ePN with that Perl (give the path to that Perl to configure some how).

(I.e. the "configure" script wasn't generated properly for your HP-UX host.) Your best bet is to "make distclean", delete/rename the "configure" and "subst" scripts, and then run "autoconf", followed by the usual "./configure" + make.

Message-ID: Hi, I tried this (even added nagios to apache and apache to nagios), but in the process of checking my httpd logs discovered that I appear to have hosed my network when trying to set my hostname. Also, I did not find mod_basic_auth (or mod_auth_basic) in the Package Installer's list. And the Nagios docs say AllowOverride should be AuthConfig, not All. Is this incorrect? Why was I never given the opportunity to set my hostname in Red Hat's setup program, and what is the Right Way to do it now?

When specified as 'min:max' 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. ) In another email, you ask about negative values. That requires a code change.

When specified as 'min:max' STATE_OK will be returned if the result is within the indicated range or is equal to the upper or lower bound.

But, at the moment anyway, that's exactly what's happening. --Ken. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From Jarett_DeAngelis at fujifilm.com Wed Jan 29 00:07:56 2003 From: Jarett_DeAngelis at fujifilm.com (Jarett DeAngelis) Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 18:07:56 -0500 Subject: Ongoing Apache/Nagios config problems...

If the service once again goes critical it still has the comment and this has caused some confusion with my users (this night op didn't call support because he thought the problem was already being looked at).

The Nag/Netsaint notify commands can be replaced by snmptrap (from the net-snmp distribution) to do this. Howver, it seems to me that you have a significant amount of integration to map check outputs/return codes, in the general case, to SNMP OIDs. If all you want to do is send one OID when a service fails and another when it recovers, then this isn't too bad, but surely you want to transmit the same amount of info as in a notifaction eg at least . hostname . service name . plugin output Perhaps (and I don't know too much about this) if you have your own private OID tree then this is feasable. > Thanks in advance > Andi Winter > HTH, Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

Whatever compiler you have is probably sufficient since it has detected that the getopt test program failed (because of the structure clash with what's expected by the plugin and the system getopt) to compile. I think you need to install the Gnu getopt function or a replica (on FreeBSD there is a popt library that is a getopt clone). Again, unless you can get more respectable advice, this function seems to be located in the GNU C library. **** WARNING Installing a new C library could break your system ****** However, if you can install it safely, so that the system binaries and libraries aren't overwritten, it will probably be very useful for all the Nag plugins. Here's a URL http://www.gnu.org/manual/glibc-2.2.3/html_node/libc_toc.html You may be better off to try the popt library first since it doesn't install Gnu replacements for the standard library functions. http://www.gnu.org/directory/libs/popt.html Whichever getopt replacement you use, you will probably have to inform configure that you are not using the system getopt and therefore to look for it somewhere else. I don't know how to do this. Perhaps the popt docco will help. > ..please pardon me coz my c knowledge is > limited..

Run configure again, pipe it through your pager and watch for the gd tests. If the results are positive (it's something loud like 'Found gd lib!'), your Ok. .. here it is checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)... (cached) yes GD library was found! Otherwise run ./configure --help and see if that gives you some ideas. If it's got gd, then continue reading the excellent installation instructions in the docs.

Message-ID: <5DB017510818EC468B05BD7BD9EACF83029F2887@mismail.ena.com> A configure script simply probes the system it's running on for various components that may or may not be present. During the configure process for most, if not all packages, you should not expect every check to return a 'yes' as that check may not be appropriate for your OS/architecture. This is especially true for programs that are designed to be compiled under multiple operating systems. The three items you list below are not unusual for a Linux based system. Going forward with your use of Linux, unless you see very loud errors from configure, you should at least go through the 'make' stage of program compilation before assuming something terrible has gone wrong. Generally speaking, if there's something you need that you don't have, the make will fail loudly with appropriate errors. -- Marc -----Original Message----- From: Raj Mudhar [mailto:Raj.Mudhar at nottingham.ac.uk] Sent: Wed 1/29/2003 6:47 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Subject: [Nagios-users] Configure outcome - help please.

I don't recall details, unfortunately. Having said that, anyone wanting to do this would need some sort of character-based YM client, one that can either have a string passed to it, or one which could be wrapped in an Expect script. Should be able to find a list of YM clients over on sourceforge.net. Having said that, I don't know what the value-add of having this feature would be. A reasonable alternative would be to have notifications sent to your Yahoo e-mail account, and let YM give you the "you have new mail" popup. On security: This is really no less secure than sending e-mail notifications over the Internet. If the cornerstone of your system/network security is "security through obscurity", then you are probably already at significant risk. If your firewall is compromised, then all bets are off. What value is a hostname/IP address to an attacker, if they can't get past your first layer of defence? Do what you feel you need to do. I'm just suggesting that security efforts are more likely to be beneficial if focused on things like policy and perimeter. (FWIW, Jabber supports crypto, I believe.) Yes, it would probably be a Bad Thing to have notifications include things like, "The trusted host is fizzgig.example.com, IP 10.2.3.4, root password is xyzygy5, dialup access via 555-1234".

There aren't even any useful comments in the source code to describe what's going on. It appears that the check_snmppd command was intended as a drop-in replacement for check_snmp, but the proxy was not indended for general use with random SNMP query scripts. Still, an excellent tip, and if I get desperate enough to need it I can go source-diving, document it myself, and maybe figure out how to link it in with my NET-SNMP queries. ;-) -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From mathieum at sports.fr Wed Jan 29 21:54:45 2003 From: mathieum at sports.fr (Mathieu Masseboeuf) Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 21:54:45 +0100 Subject: Re(2): Core dump In-Reply-To: <20030128235645.H214@IPAustralia.Gov.AU> References: <20030128235645.H214@IPAustralia.Gov.AU> Message-ID: <20030129205445.27696@smtp.sports.fr> Hi, I'm happy to be able to contribute for something at least :) OK, so I compiled the mini_epn script, here is the compilation output in case it can help : gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H mini_epn.c `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts` -o mini_epn mini_epn.c: In function `xs_init': mini_epn.c:63: warning: passing arg 3 of `Perl_newXS' from incompatible pointer type mini_epn.c: In function `main': mini_epn.c:94: warning: passing arg 2 of `perl_parse' from incompatible pointer type the mini epn starts without any argument (no crash) - that's a good start.

Fortunately, it's been extensively documented: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/toc.html The check_snmp plugin may be just the thing you're looking for. Try running it with the "-h" option for a quick overview of how it works. The only really tricky part is setting your min/max ranges right since the order in which these are given makes a difference: ---- - 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 specified 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. ---- -- Steve Bonds On Thu, 30 Jan 2003, Rodrigo Benzaquen rodrigo-at-mercadolibre.com |Nagios| wrote: > Hi Guys, > I just downloaded Nagios version, I want to monitor my SNMP devices, Can > anyone help me on how to start ? > > Thanks and Sorry > Rodrigo > > -- > Rodrigo Benzaquen > IT > www.mercadolibre.com > Tel: 54-11-4014-8015 > Fax: 54-11-4014-8079 > e-mail: rodrigo at mercadolibre.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From sghosh at sghosh.org Thu Jan 30 17:46:09 2003 From: sghosh at sghosh.org (Subhendu Ghosh) Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 11:46:09 -0500 (EST) Subject: hostinfo.pl file not found In-Reply-To: <005501c2c6e1$770df5a0$61222404@taxcut.com> References: <005501c2c6e1$770df5a0$61222404@taxcut.com> Message-ID: You have to write that one yourself...

I accidentally sent it there in the first place. Thanks for the pointer about the XML discussion; quite interesting. I personally agree with the fact that the configuration files should be in XML format. One of the major drawbacks of most open source programs is there highly complex to configure, nagios included. XML may not speed up configuration using VI, but sure as hell makes it easier to write a configuration interface. A user-friendly interface would spring people's interest who wouldn't have even considered nagios before, and yet XML still allow VI based editing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it would be impossible to write a parser for the nagios template format. But why do something thats already done, not just in C or in perl, but pretty much any language you could name. Hey and it would also fix my problem quite nicely. =) Jason Yates On Thu, 2003-01-30 at 10:24, Carroll, Jim P [Contractor] wrote: > Although not dynamic, that feature is available today.

Message-ID: <20030131075358.B217@IPAustralia.Gov.AU> Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to confirm that the embedded Perl support of Nagios/Netsaint is broken with Perl 5.8.0. The Nag/Netsaint binary will not start but SEGVs immediately if Nag is configured and built with the embedded Perl interpreter and Perl 5.8.0. My initial investigations show the cause to be in perl_call_argv() [call_argv() in 5.8.0]. Whether this is a problem with the embedding in Nag/Netsaint or it's a problem in Perl 5.8.0 is unknown. This doesn't appear to be a known or trivial problem and will require investigating. In the meantime, don't embed Perl 5.8.0 in Nag/Netsaint - either run without embedded Perl support or embed an older Perl. Unless you have a new system (eg RH 8.0) there is no - plugin - reason for using 5.8.0.

Message-ID: <200301301621.58579.swalker@floridabroadband.net> statusmap_image: This variable is used to define the name of an image that should be associated with this host in the statusmap CGI. You can specify a JPEG, PNG, and GIF image if you want, although I would strongly suggest using a GD2 format image, as other image formats will result in a lot of wasted CPU time when the statusmap image is generated. GD2 images can be created from PNG images by using the pngtogd2 utility supplied with Thomas Boutell's gd library. The GD2 images should be created in uncompressed format in order to minimize CPU load when the statusmap CGI is generating the network map image. The image will look best if it is 40x40 pixels in size. You can leave these option blank if you are not using the statusmap CGI. Images for hosts are assumed to be in the logos/ subdirectory in your HTML images directory (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos). According to that you can use gd2/png/jpeg/gif. But what we found was, in the statusmap you *NEED* to use a gd2, in the little information panel it can only be jpeg/png/gif. -- Scott Walker ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From RLAdams at Kelsey-Seybold.com Thu Jan 30 22:34:35 2003 From: RLAdams at Kelsey-Seybold.com (Russell Adams) Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 15:34:35 -0600 Subject: OT - Sendpage and Arch Wireless In-Reply-To: <009701c2c8a2$12126dd0$0bb0a8c0@rbrown> References: <20030130195306.GB12604@soja.ksnet.com.> <009701c2c8a2$12126dd0$0bb0a8c0@rbrown> Message-ID: <1136.12220525301$1043963976@news.gmane.org> What is your sendpage.cf look like for the modem definitions and such?

My guess is that it's checking to see if the /usr/local/bin/mktemp is executable (-x) and if so, then run assign mktemp to the tempdiff variable, else, tempdiff get a different assignment. So possibly: if [ -x /usr/local/bin/mktemp ]; then . . However, when I run the script manually, I get an error about diff: diff: 0653-802 Specify two file names.

Message-ID: <5DB017510818EC468B05BD7BD9EACF83030ED2B4@mismail.ena.com> Per the instructions on the page that you partially quote below, reading the CGI Authentication section of the HTML documentation yields the following: ------- Authentication Usage Format: use_authentication=<0/1> Example: use_authentication=1 This option controls whether or not the CGIs will use the authentication and authorization functionality when determining what information and commands users have access to. I would strongly suggest that you use the authentication functionality for the CGIs. If you decide not to use authentication, make sure to remove the command CGI to prevent unauthorized users from issuing commands to Nagios. The CGI will not issue commands to Nagios if authentication is disabled, but I would suggest removing it altogether just to be on the safe side. More information on how to setup authentication and configure authorization for the CGIs can be found here. 0 = Don't use authentication functionality 1 = Use authentication and authorization functionality (default) -------- There is a feature found by following the link in the text above: -------- Default User Name Format: default_user_name= Example: default_user_name=guest Setting this variable will define a default username that can access the CGIs. This allows people within a secure domain (i.e., behind a firewall) to access the CGIs without necessarily having to authenticate to the web server. You may want to use this to avoid having to use basic authentication if you are not using a secure server, as basic authentication transmits passwords in clear text over the Internet. Important: Do not define a default username unless you are running a secure web server and are sure that everyone who has access to the CGIs has been authenticated in some manner! If you define this variable, anyone who has not authenticated to the web server will inherit all rights you assign to this user! -------- This may or may not meet your needs. Your final option would be to edit cmd.c to suit your specific needs. -- Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: Ryan Cochrane [mailto:Ryan.Cochrane at webexpress.net.au] > Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 4:21 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] Fw: Help, new install - come on guys give us a > hand. > > > > Hi Guys! > > > > Just installed this beautiful software and i've come up with the > following > > problems, > > > > I've selected no cgi auto as i have other auth methods blah blah > > I keep getting that sorry dave i cant let you do that if yo uwant to be > > stubborn remove this safe guard, how and where do i remove it from?? > > > > Also, where does it put the CGI files apon make'ing it? > > > > Thanks guys > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.NET email is sponsored by: > SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! > http://www.vasoftware.com > _______________________________________________ > Nagios-users mailing list > Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From bgarcia at p-inet.net Thu Jan 30 23:36:15 2003 From: bgarcia at p-inet.net (Ben Garcia) Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 16:36:15 -0600 Subject: Still no help with interval_lengh=1?

Not broken on all OS ... Message-ID: <20030131132923.B63211@IPAustralia.Gov.AU> Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to withdraw my earlier mistaken claim that Nagios-1.0 (and probably Netsaint) with the embedded Perl interpreter (ePN), is broken with Perl 5.8.0. (This claim was based on seeing the embedded Perl simulator - mini_epn.c SEGV wtih Perl 5.8.0. In fact there was a coding error in mini_epn.c [not unfortunately visible in any of the Nag base code that can use Perl]).

Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB2F2530@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> I noticed that Michael Halligan and Robert Galloway have already commented. I'll throw in my $0.02. 1) I've never had any problems with using tabs in object definitions. If anything, I make sure my config files have tabs. I'd be curious to know what error Michael had (and the usual version of Nagios/platform/etc). Regardless, if you prefer spaces, then use spaces. 2) The blank line in your host definition isn't required. Feel free to remove it. 3) The semicolon at the end of the 'use' declaration isn't required, unless you plan to append a comment to that line. 4) Something to file away for later: You need not use the 'address' declaration, so long as you either have the hostname/IP defined in /etc/hosts of your Nagios server, or you have that hostname/IP defined in your DNS namespace and have /etc/resolv.conf correctly configured. (There are advantages/disadvantages to each of these 3 approaches. Just make a note of it for now.) 5) Something which seems to trip up some Nagios neophytes (it did me) is the distinction between a host check and a service check. You can make a host check anything you like. By default, check-host-alive uses the check_ping plugin. Just think of a host check as "if this test fails, I can safely assume everything else on the host is dead". (Some might argue the particulars of this proposal, but I'm hoping it'll be enough to get you started.) Unless you're trying to monitor a host on the trusted side of a firewall from the untrusted side, you need not worry about any other incarnations of the host check. In any case, as Robert Galloway pointed out, you can have one (and only one) host check for a given host (unless you start working with host aliases, but let's not complicate your present situation). 'Nuff said on that. 6) You still need to concern yourself with the service checks. In the trivial case, you could leverage check_ping. You may notice that you would then have a host check and a service check which both use check_ping. This might seem redundant, but the logic of Nagios depends on the combination of a host check with *some* service check for proper/complete operation. If you're doing something else (eg, check_smtp, check_http), you need not have a service check which uses check_ping, although at least one subscriber to this list prefers to have it anyway. If you like, put it in now; you can always remove it later. It's also worth noting that while a service check name might be something like check_smtp, this is not the same as a plugin called check_smtp. This subtle distinction might have you chasing your tail if you're not paying close attention. When you define a service check for a host, you're effectively referencing a token. If you refer to the checkcommands.cfg file, you'll notice that quite a few of the command_name strings match the basename of the command_line strings. Why do this? Because it affords you a layer of abstraction. Once you've got the basic services monitored and you decide you want to do something which doesn't appear to exist, you can create your own definition. For example, you could create check_high_port which essentially uses the check_tcp plugin to poke at port 9999 on whatever host you decide to add this service definition to. Again, wait till you've got some basic monitoring working before you run off and attempt something less obvious. :) Hope this gets you on track. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Ryan Cochrane [mailto:Ryan.Cochrane at webexpress.net.au] > Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 7:09 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] problem with services file. > > > Hi guys, sorry to bother you > > I have finally got most of it working with auto and all! > > I keep getting this error when i go to start it; > > > Error: Invalid object definition type 'service(' in file > '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg' on line 21. > > > define host{ > use generic-host ; > > host_name weig > alias Naigos Monitoring #1 > address 203.31.71.22 > check_command check-host-alive check_http check_smtp > max_check_attempts 10 > notification_interval 120 > notification_period 24x7 > notification_options d,u,r > } > > > any pointers would be really good, ive been playin with it > for 3 hours now. > :/ > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.NET email is sponsored by: > SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! > http://www.vasoftware.com > _______________________________________________ > Nagios-users mailing list > Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From michael at halligan.org Fri Jan 31 04:36:53 2003 From: michael at halligan.org (Michael T.

Interestingly, rebooting the box (and applying an uprev kernel) eradicated the issue, though, as is always the case with multiple variables, I am now unsure *which* of these things caused the "fix". I'll revisit this again should the symptoms recur. And, for the sake of completeness, this was with 1.0. Another interesting issue, however. I've written a small wrapper that allows me to execute arbitrary plugins on a remote host, and "massage" the data (essentially add the hostname and integer error code) to the plugin output. This is combined with any other plugins running (newline between each) and piped to send_nsca. This works wonderfully. On most of our systems, 5 plugins report every two minutes. We have our "freshness" checking set to 8 minutes, or four iterations without a response form a given passive check (in reality, it is less than that, because of check/processing latencies, but should *more* than suffice.). Even with the freshness being set so high, I do notice services occasionally entering soft "unknown" states (the result of a script that runs when our services fail their freshness check). Now, I see two possibilities here. First, congestion. Since we use NTP to sync our boxes, they *do* literally hammer the box within a second or two of each other. However, I have nsca spawned through xinetd, and the box seems to take the connections without issue. I also have send_nsca itself set to timeout at 30 seconds, which is more than enough time to process the results, as running nsca(d) in debug mode shows all results processed in 8 seconds or so. So this possibility seems somewhat unlikely. The second possibility is we're hitting some sort of limit in Nagios itself. Our command_check_interval is set at -1, while our reaper frequency is 5 seconds, so I don't think it's a pipe related issue (there are, perhaps, 5o servers that check in nearly simultaneously with about 1K of plugin data). My question is twofold. First, has anyone else experienced this? And secondly, does anyone understand the inner workings of send_nsca sufficiently to explain to me how it deals with spurious network latency/packet loss or blocking issues? *should* it ever drop a connection other than when it reaches the 30 second timeout I've set? -- Ken Snider Senior Systems Administrator Datawire Communication Networks Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From nagios at nagios.org Wed Jan 29 05:38:39 2003 From: nagios at nagios.org (Ethan Galstad) Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 22:38:39 -0600 Subject: ePN (embedded Perl Nag) with Perl 5.8.0.

I haven't applied it to CVS yet, but will this weekend if it looks okay. Any chance you can give it a try and see if it solves the problem? == Hi Ethan, This patch is included in the SuSE-8.0 linux distribution version of Nagios 1.0. I've just set up the latest 2.0a code from CVS and it too requires this patch which is included in the SuSE RPM. Without it Nagios sigsegv's and dies silently - after applying Nagios seems to run just fine. Obviously the CVS version is quite different so the patch had to be merged by hand.. Would be good if this could be merged into CVS 8) Would it be helpful to run Nagios under gdb to get a backtrace of that fault?

I've also attached a nonrelated patch which I made to the SNMP nagios plugin. This patch strips type output for the type STRING which the latest net- snmp outputs when making snmp queries to some oids. It's usefull for example when you want to query the oid describing swap error flag, you can as well query the error message oid to put the info next to the error.

There aren't even any useful comments in the source code to describe what's going on. It appears that the check_snmppd command was intended as a drop-in replacement for check_snmp, but the proxy was not indended for general use with random SNMP query scripts. Still, an excellent tip, and if I get desperate enough to need it I can go source-diving, document it myself, and maybe figure out how to link it in with my NET-SNMP queries. ;-) -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com Fri Jan 31 15:43:09 2003 From: Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com (Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com) Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 08:43:09 -0600 Subject: Alternative notifications Message-ID: What about e-mail to a phone?

The first box I made I made is not showing png,jpegs,or gif in the statusmap or status summary cgi's, they are showing in the rest of the cgi's. I have manipulated the hostextinfo.cfg, by making it as minimal as possible (host_name,icon_image,statusmap_image), as well as adding xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg and SetENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib in the httpd.conf file. In an effort to trouble shoot I have made a 2nd test box, using the same configurations, the only thing I did differently was use rpm's for the gd,jpeg,jpeg-devel,zlib,zlib-devel,libpng,libpng-devel,gd-1.8.4 and gd-1.8.4-devel. This second box is not showing icons for any of the cgi's, I have compared all of the configs, side by side and the only difference I could find is, when I traced back to the SetENV line in the first box, there were the libs for zlib,png,gd and jpeg, on the second box there was nothing, but I did locate those same files in /usr/lib, so in an attempt I changed the path for the SetENV line to include the path /usr/lib..no luck.I have reviewed the lists, and with the help of you I was able to get as far as I have, does anyone have any other hints,tips or recommendations as to what I should look for? Thank you in advance.

Upon the initial set up I intentionally configured one of my hosts to NOT pass the one of it's service checks. For some reason Nagios is reporting that the results of the "check_smtp" plugin are "OK", even though "Connection refused by host" is what is returned to the command line. When I originally set this up, I received a "Critical" error (which is what I want), when the check returned "Connection refused by host". I'm not sure why it is now reporting that the status is "OK". I have not changed the parameters being passed to "check_smtp", nor have I changed the version of the plugin.

Defaulting to "ALL" is unwise, particularly on a system which might have many MIBs in that directory. With all the MIBs I have loaded an "snmpwalk -m all public sysdescr" takes about 15-20s of CPU-pegged time. The plugin I'm using (a hacked-up version of the contrib script check_snmp_disk_monitor.pl by Al Tobey) wisely only loads the two MIBs it needs. (Al's original only loaded the one MIB it needed.) My concern with caching has less to do with Nagios-side usage than with spamming my WAN with unnecessary SNMP traffic. (I.e. why should I re-send an SNMP request when I just made the same request 30s ago?) It's looking a lot like I just need to persistently cache the data received (and when) and only re-fetch if the data is stale. -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com Fri Jan 31 17:50:30 2003 From: jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com (Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]) Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 10:50:30 -0600 Subject: Alternative notifications Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB014E13D6@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> Check out Jabber and/or do a search for Yahoo on sourceforge.net. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: David Corbin [mailto:dcorbin at machturtle.com] > Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 6:30 AM > To: Nagios Users > Subject: [Nagios-users] Alternative notifications > > > Is there a free package out there that I can use to send a Yahoo IM > message from the command line? > > How about some way to send an SMS to a Cingular phone, without an > internet connection? > > David > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.NET email is sponsored by: > SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! > http://www.vasoftware.com > _______________________________________________ > Nagios-users mailing list > Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com From jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com Fri Jan 31 17:59:30 2003 From: jcarro10 at sprintspectrum.com (Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]) Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 10:59:30 -0600 Subject: Alternative notifications Message-ID: <74D428BDBFD5D04CB54E84499ECA29DB014E13D8@PKDWB03C.ad.sprint.com> I just realized something.

In a nutshell, 'tell' reports the current position that perl has within a file, and 'seek' effectively moves you to that byte offset in the file. Instead of copying the entire logfile to a temporary location (which is what check_log does), check_log2.pl will merely write the positional value (from 'tell') to a tempfile. Worst case scenario is that your seekfile will be log(n) + 1 of the size of your logfile. E.g., if your /var/log/messages is 1,000,000 bytes long, then your seek file will be 7 bytes long. This approach also has the advantage that you don't start each search from the beginning of the file, doing a bytewise comparison of things which have already been checked before. Here's what I'm using in my nrpe.cfg (or at least, the relevant lines for my Linux boxen - pardon the wordwrap): command[linux_log_warn]=/home/nagios/libexec/check_log2 -l /var/log/messages -s /home/nagios/.messages_warn.seek -p "WARN|Warn|warn|httpd.conf" command[linux_log_err]=/home/nagios/libexec/check_log3 -l /var/log/messages -s /home/nagios/.messages_err.seek -p "ERR|Err|err|PANIC|Panic|panic|File system full" -n " nrpe| sshd|httpd.conf" By now you're probably wondering a couple things. Allow me to jump ahead of you: 1) "What happened to the .pl extension?" I renamed the file. None of the other plugins show their extensions. If you don't want to rename it, you shouldn't need to. Your choice. 2) "What's this check_log3 plugin?" It's virtually an identical copy of check_log2. Here's a diff (explanation to follow): $ diff check_log2 check_log3 146c146 < exit $ERRORS{'WARNING'}; --- > exit $ERRORS{'CRITICAL'}; I effectively use check_log2 to report on 'warning' problems, and check_log3 to report on 'critical' problems. Ideally there would be a way to pass "-w" and/or "-c" on the command line so that the appropriate return code is evoked. I'm using a kludge, but it seems to do the trick. HTH.

If you're running the nrpe daemon on your client host as root, ... ah, but there's no point discussing that insecure option, because you wouldn't be doing that. Would you? ;) There might be better options to consider. The one which springs to mind is daemontools (http://cr.yp.to/) This is certainly how tinydns and dnscache run. If (for some unknown reason) the daemon exits, daemontools will simply start it up again. If you direct daemontools to shut down the daemon, then it will. If you direct daemontools to restart the daemon, then it will. Daemontools may not work for all daemons available. Having said that, there may be other solutions out there. I'm more in favour of letting Nagios do the centralized monitoring, and letting systems keep themselves running. If you push the responsibility of restarting daemons to Nagios, you now have a single point of failure (not to mention the latency between checks in larger environments which could delay the recovery of a downed daemon). Something else to consider is this: If a daemon dies for no good reason, why not get to the bottom of it and get it fixed? Especially if it's a mission critical process?
