Subject: MySQL support
Message-ID: <3F00BF3F.7030606@ring-wraith.com>

Hi,

I am looking for some more info about the MySQL support.
The documentation was listing already some info, but is there a more 
detailed version available?
I searched the net & mailinglist to no avail so far, so if anyone knows 
where I can find some more info on this matter, then please reply in here :)

I am currently looking for answers to the following questions:
- system ressource usage difference between database and flat file install?
- flat file install has an installed logrotate function, is there s.th. 
similar with the MySQL install, or will all data get added to it and the 
table management has to be done manually?

Thanks,
Duncan

Subject: Nagios Double Checking with remote Nagios site for verification of
 errors
Message-ID: <1057018078.3467.13.camel@laptop.nmtbmedia.dev>

Hi all,

Firstly sorry if this issues has been addressed before, the SF search is
playing up so I cannot find any posts that may be relevant to this.

Nagios is a very powerful monitoring application, however I am unsure as
to if I can do the following with it so if anyone has any suggestions
they would be more then welcome.

I want to install two Nagios server. One in Network A the other in
Network B, both of the to monitor Network C. If the monitor in Network A
detects a problem on Network C, I would like it to verify that the
problem exists with the monitor on Network B (And this should work vice
versa) It the problem is confirmed on both Network a and B, then the
notification and escalation events start to take place, otherwise a
notification to the Nagios Admin be sent. 

Now I have though a bit about this and the only way I can seem to even
try to do something like this is to write a plug-in that checks using
NRPE or similar and returns a result, but this is a bit mess as if the
result is positive, then the plug-in has to do the notifications. (Why,
cause when say server-notify being run, instead of doing the notify I
would want it to verify the error, once verified then  the notifications
are sent out). However it would be nice if the 2 servers could be aware
of this and auto negotiate all these problems for me (Hey, I'm a lazy
git :)

Anyhow, has anyone tried anything like this with Nagios? Or is there any
plans in future releases to include this functionality?

Any help in answering these questions would be most welcomed. 

Thanks in advance.

AJ

Message-ID: <B295F3D09B0D3840BEA3B46C51FC389C1F5AF7@pnlmse28.pnl.gov>

I'm seeing this in a nagios 1.0 deployment, but its still appears to be in the CVS version.
 
Basically the problem happens when an external PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT comes in
formatted like:
  [1056956399] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;
Yes this is an error (one of my external check scripts barfs every so often).  However it shouldn't crash nagios...
 
The problem is that  
  /* get the host name */
  temp_ptr=my_strtok(args,";");
returns a null and then when you try to do the  
   if(!strcmp(temp_ptr,temp_host->address)){
a few lines later bam strcmp((char *)0, something_else) == instant SEGV.
 
The obvious solution is to put a test in for strlen of args, but looking around I see a couple
other places where this could conceivably happen, so the question is - is it better to fix each
of them individually in thier own functions, or just stuff some code in up higher that checks 
the args is mostly ok (or at least exists) for the vulnerable types (types that have args) (maybe 
in process_external_command() or check_for_external_commands()). Or maybe there is a better
way to handle the problem altogether.

How about if both NagA and NagB perform active checks on C, and report via
passive checks to each other.  That way, you can see the status from itself
and it's peer and make the determination that Network C has a problem.

Subject: hostextinfo - What am I doing wrong!?!?!
Message-ID: <E19XDJ6-0004n9-00@sc8-sf-list1.sourceforge.net>

AAGGHHH!!!

I'm tearing my hair out here guys. I just can't get this damn hostextinfo
stuff working, no matter what I try. I've even resorted to using the sample
configs (without changing them) and seeing if I can get it going. once
again. with no luck.

Observations:
Even if the nagios processes aren't running, I can still click around the
site fine, is this right? I'll make the changes to the configs, and expect
to see them on the pages, but even without nagios running, I can still get
status info on the hosts and services. 

What's been done:
I've basically moved everything that was -sample to .cfg. The only lines
I've changed have been the user access
(authorized_for_configuration_information, authorized_for_system_commands,
etc) so that nagiosadmin can see the pages. I also commented out
dependencies.cfg. Everything else is generates from the 'make
install-config'. I've added this line to cgi.cfg.

hostextinfo[linux1]=/serverinfo/es-eds.html;nagios.gif;nagios.gif;novell40.g
d2;IntranetWare 4.11;100,50;3.5,0.0,-1.5;

Compile options:
./configure --prefix=/share/nagios-remote --with-nagios-user=nagios
--with-nagios-group=nagios --with-template-extinfo --with-gd-lib=/share/lib
--with-gd-inc=/share/include --with-cgiurl=/nagios-remote/cgi-bin
--with-htmurl=/nagios-remote

Tried using templates, no good.
I've also tried

./configure --prefix=/share/nagios-remote --with-nagios-user=nagios
--with-nagios-group=nagios --with-gd-lib=/share/lib
--with-gd-inc=/share/include --with-cgiurl=/nagios-remote/cgi-bin
--with-htmurl=/nagios-remote

Can someone send me a *really* basic config so that I can test to see what's
wrong? I've been trying to figure this *@$@ out for weeks now, and it's
really frustrating.

Anyone.. please!!!

Billy

Hi Billy,

Here's what I do:
in cgi.cfg add:

xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg

create a file /etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg
inside that for each host:

define hostextinfo
{
 host_name foo.bar
 statusmap_image cisco7206.gd2
 2d_coords              250, 100
}

put in the appropriate entries i.e.
notes_url	url 
icon_image	image_file 
icon_image_alt	alt_string

etc inside the { brackets }

after that issue a:
/etc/init.d/nagios reload

and ease off on the coffee :-)

This means that the integer that holds the values overflow, hence your
negative results.

I've just been reading up large numbers and it seems that what may need to
happen is that the data types for disk_used and total_used should be floats
(to allow numbers up to 3.4E+38) and the subsequent printf formats altered
to reflect. I think I've seen this problem on the CVS HEAD version of
check_disk too.

Try this patch for check_disk.c against r1.3.0. It works on my Sun 2.6
system, but I don't have huge disk to test against!
 <<check_disk.patch_for_floats.c>> 

Let us know how you get on.

Hi 

I want to be able to schedule downtime automatically between 9-7am everyday, 
as this particular host will go down during this time. 
I am wondering why my event-handler is not working. If anyone can point out 
where did I go wrong or improve on my scripts, it will be most helpful for 
me! 

In my nagios.log shows the following and that's it:

[1057051481] HOST ALERT: hostABC;DOWN;SOFT;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss=100%
[1057051481]HOSTEVENTHANDLER:hostABC;DOWN;SOFT;1;check-handle-host-downtime-event

When executing the script manually :
/usr/nagios/libexec/handle-host-downtime-event DOWN HARD 

It will put this into nagios.log:

Larry,

Thanks for this report. I think it sounds very serious - I think nrpe should
return CRITICAL if the plugin is not found. I've never been very fond of a
UNKNOWN status - it should either be red, yellow or green.

I've done a quick test with NRPE 1.8 and if I run check_nrpe -H xxx -c
check_ton with check_ton defined on the remote end pointing to a plugin that
does not exist, I get the output: "NRPE: Unable to read output" with a
return code of 1 - WARNING.

Can you provide a bit more detail of what was being run? What was the
check_nrpe command? What is the nrpe.cfg on the target box. What was the
output from NRPE? Was the SCSI disk failure causing an invocation of the
plugin to hang? Which version of nrpe were you using (I don't know of a
v1.2.5 - I'm using v1.8, and the latest is v2.0b3)?

Ton

Hy Jason,

I don't have it installed. I'm using NagMin. It's very useful and simple, like WebMin.
I'm prefering to use it because some people show me that it's the best way, and you may see the activity percentage in Sourceforge.net. Trying a search with 'nagios' expression in its site you'll see. For NagMin the activity is 91,65% and Nagios Web even don't have a percentage degree.

But, if I discover something or some success case, I am going to tell you.

I'm monitoring 55 hosts and I am having some troubles with the alert engineering. I receive alerts in a large amount about hosts and services state (critical, warning and recovery). Maybe it happens because the network is a little bit unstable, or maybe it happens because I have to do a fine tunning in my alert system related with the reality of my network.

[]'s
Rivanor.

PS: Sorry about my english! :(

check_hpjd uses snmp to talk to the JetDirect card to get a status.  It 
does not check the functionality of the raw ports or spoolers.

I don't see any reason that this isn't possible.  However, I have had
difficulty compiling utilities like nrpe on HP-UX, so you will probably
have to work through some compiler issues before you can get it to
work.

Message-ID: <1057070983.23919.89.camel@zvd_92.voeb-zvd.de>

hiho,

i cannot understand the way 'process_perf_data' works.

i can set 'process_perf_data' in nagios.cfg, in host definitions and
service definitions. in what order will the option be processed?
supersedes the option in nagios.cgi the definition in hosts or overrides
the definition in hosts the one in services?

what i'm trying to do is:
i only want the performance data of some services being processed, not
the hosts, not all services. but it doesn't work. the process_perf_data
in services- and host-configs are ignored. and the option in nagios.cfg
switches the processing on and off, but for all hosts and all services.

maybe what i'm trying isn't possible. can anyone shed some light?

Subject: Icons
Message-ID: <DGECJHBGLKJFFBJCLFEIOEMADAAA.dcollins@lc7.net>

Greetings,

I have read, reread and rereread the instructions. I have searched the
newgroups and listserves. To no avail...I am unable to properly config the
icons for NAGIOS. Hopefully, someone can enlighten me regarding the
following:

I gunzipped and untarred the imagepak-base.tar.gz  and placed the images
into /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos.

I placed the following line in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg file :

	xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg

I then created the /usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg file and placed the
following entry into it:

	define hostextinfo{
	host_name SCORPIUS
	icon_image sunlogo.png
	}

Restarting nagios /etc/init.d/nagios reload produces the following message:

Error: Invalid object definition type 'hostextinfo' in file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg' on line 1.

I'm stumped and the documentation is a bit thin here...Anybody?

Thanks.

I'm interested in NagMin, but as far as I know it requires MySQL. Anyone 
modified it to work with postgreSQL?

Subject: Snort/ACID alerts for Nagios
Message-ID: <3F01C924.2020401@bellsouth.net>

Thanks Ted

I was actually looking for something a little more complex that "yes I 
got an alert/no I didn't".  What I was thinking of was a SQL query
or script with a couple of queries that returns an OK, WARN, or CRIT 
based on some params like
-alert classification
-time since alert
-number of alerts in last check period
-"weighting" of sensor (e.g. an external sensor should never give a 
critical alert but a sensor on a DMZ or internal might be critical for 
same alert)

What data is in the SNMP trap from Snort and how can I process it in Nagios?

thanks

Subject: processing performance data - input, corrections solicited
Message-ID: <3F01C70E.10209@bellsouth.net>

Thanks Ted.  

Well perhaps I misunderstood the documentation.  It looks like the performance
processing stuff must be done on the machine that executes the checks.  Is this NOT true?

I did in fact try performance processing on the remote sensor machines (--with-default-perfdata)
on the remote machines that actually do the tests.  I had a few problems:
	- it appears that most plugins don't output performance data (this is referenced in the docs too)
	- even though my default template for services had process_perf_data set to 0 and only those
	  services I wanted data for had it explicitly set to 1 I got an entry in the file for each check executed

Given that I need to pull the data from the output rather than the performance data, and that I need to filter for only the lines
I'm interested in, I see no value in using perfdata over the nagios.log.

did I do something wrong?  what am I missing?

Subject: Snort/ACID alerts for Nagios

This is the type of task I would suggest using a log file monitor like
LogSentry or Logmuncher to alert you with.

I find Nagios/Netsaint better at performing boolean status monitoring,
while context sensitive things like snmp traps, acid, logs, etc should be
handled by other tools.

There's no reason you couldn't have Logmuncher feed Nagios data from a
passive check if you want to go that route.

    Hi, I want to install the nagios in HPUX server. It?s possible ? 

  I don't see any reason that this isn't possible.  However, I have had difficulty compiling utilities like nrpe on HP-UX, so you will probably have to work through some compiler issues before you can get it to work.

Thanks for your respond, it turns out the reboot after installation is
solving every things (I did not reboot the node after install all
packages). It works now.

Thank you for your effort Marc,

Dennis,

it could be that you have some white space or a control char at the head
of your file that is causing it to give you that error.

FWIW, here is a sample from a working hostextinfo.cfg that I have
running:

define hostextinfo{
       host_name       gw
       #notes_url      hostinfo.pl?host=gw
       icon_image      my_router.png 
       icon_image_alt  gw.neitzert.lan
       vrml_image      my_router.png
       statusmap_image myrouter.gd2
       2d_coords       100,250
       3d_coords       100.0,50.0,75.0
       }


hope that helps.

Thanks for the report - I'll get this into CVS tonight.  If you 
notice other problems, let me know.  I'm cleaning up the external 
command code in 2.0  to reduce duplication where possible.

Make sure the NRPE daemon is the same version as the client and has

Hello,

When compiling nagios 1.1 with...

Hi Jamie,

	Ok, I've started drinking tea, done what you said below (to the
letter, but changed the host_name), but it still doesn't work....

Is there any debugging that I can turn on to verify that it's even reading
this file? Reason I ask, here's the modified hostextinfo.cfg file...

this is annoying

define hostextinfo
{
 host_name linux1
 statusmap_image cisco7206.gd2
 2d_coords              250, 100
}

Yes, that's right, the top of the file contains the phrase "this is
annoying" It doesn't crash out on a restart, which leads me to believe it's
not even reading in the file.

I recompiled it with the --with-template-extinfo in the ./configure.

Is there anyone that's got hostextinfo working on FreeBSD? I'm running
4.6.2-RELEASE.

Hi Billy,

Here's what I do:
in cgi.cfg add:

xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg

create a file /etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg
inside that for each host:

define hostextinfo
{
 host_name foo.bar
 statusmap_image cisco7206.gd2
 2d_coords              250, 100
}

put in the appropriate entries i.e.
notes_url	url 
icon_image	image_file 
icon_image_alt	alt_string

etc inside the { brackets }

after that issue a:
/etc/init.d/nagios reload

and ease off on the coffee :-)

Does anyone have a module or plugin that will monitor a progress

Subject: contact options
Message-ID: <95C9664AA1B83E4EAB1C08A66415482E016CE8ED@usush2kex04>

The documentation states the email and pager options are optional when defining a contact yet I get this error message when I omit either option...

Reading configuration data...
Error: Contact name, alias, or email address and pager number are NULL
Error: Could not register contact (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg', line 19)

I need to have a generic user just for web access.  I also don't have a pager.  If I use a bad address my mail q fills up with failed messages.  Any ideas???  

thanx, jeff

You didn't mention the OS you're using, but for me on RedHat, I had to
install the jpeg-devel and png-devel packages, as well as a newer zlib
before I finally got a working GD.  I'm using the old version (pre2.0)  GD,
which seems to do everything Nagios needs it to.

Subject: Creating own check commands
Message-ID: <LMEOJLIBBKHPFBFPBLIPAEJLCAAA.ira@mse.ufl.edu>

I am using the check_nwstat program to check for free space on volumes on
the netware server. Each server has different volume names except for one in
common, "sys."

I created the following to check freespace on sys
# 'check_freespace sys' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_freesys
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nwstat -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v VKFsys ZERO
}

Works fine and I can use a few define services to get to all the netware
servers to check "sys."

Now I want to check other volumes but I don't want to have to create a
seperate command for each volume. I noticed in some of the other check
commands there is a variable called $ARG1$

Where do I reference this variable. Obviously $HOSTADDRESS$ gets the value
of "host_name" when I set that up in services.cfg. How do I give $ARG1$ a
value when I set up something in services.cfg


Is the following how I would do it? I need to know what else to put in
services.cfg to make it where $ARG1$ can be the volume I want to check. Also
is the format for checkcommands correct?

#services.cfg line#
host_name   box.address.com

#checkcommands.cfg#
$USER1$/check_nwstat -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v VKF$ARG1$ ZERO

Thank you so much for your help. If you need clarification please feel free
to message me on AIM - xCrytikalx

There is no built-in way to do what you want. It is probably safe to
presume that the undetermined times will almost always be nagios outages
and manually do the math.

Subject: Nagios Statd and HP-UX
Message-ID: <1057153172.1779.12.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Users,

I am attempting to use the nagios-statd/nagios-stat tools to monitor an
a brand new HP box.(I am currently using these tools[older Perl
versions] to monitor Solaris and RH without any problems).  However, on
the HP box, when attempting to look at load,user, and proc I get an
error of "Server returned unusual data".  I have had my HP guy look at
the commands in nagios-statd and they all run correctly when run by
hand.

Anyone know how I might troubleshoot this?  I'd love to avoid SNMP if
possible.

I don't speak Python.

Thanks

James

I had similar problems with HPUX 11.0 systems.

The main problem seemed to be a very broken perl setup.

Either the system version of perl was version 4 or version 5 but with lots of bit's missing.
In the end had to download and re-compile perl version 5.6.1

Which seemed to work for us.

Note that downloaded pre-compiled versions of perl also gave me hassle 
This might have been the site's they came from or just broken.

Subject: check are not running at scheduled time and hangs after that
Message-ID: <sf030865.016@nwbln-gw.orgdv.din.de>

Hello all,

sometimes i wonder about checks, which run last time a few days ago. But they should run every x minutes.
The next_scheduled_active_check value points on a datetime in past.
I have installed Nagios 1.0b6 on HP/UX 11.00. 

Has someone noticed the same problem?

Thanks,
Volker

Hello,

Thanks for the help thus far. Here is some more information to aid in assistance...

1.] I am running OpenBSD 3.3
2.] I installed libpng 1.2.5, jpeg-6b, and zlib-1.1.4 all using source.
3.] I am not sure if the jpeg-devel and png-devel are included with installing libpng and jpeg-6b from source?
4.] OpenBSD does not support RPM (of course) and this seems to be the only way to specifically get the *devel stuff.
5.] Here is some more output to look at... (kinda long)

You didn't mention the OS you're using, but for me on RedHat, I had to
install the jpeg-devel and png-devel packages, as well as a newer zlib
before I finally got a working GD.  I'm using the old version (pre2.0)  GD,
which seems to do everything Nagios needs it to.

When compiling nagios 1.1 with...

"./configure --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --with-gd-lib=/usr/loca

I get this error...

Fair enough.  Thank you!  It would be nice as a
feature (hint hint).  :)  In a hosting environment,
one could show this information directly to customers
but it is hard to explain 'undetermined' to some
people.

Thank you!

You will need to edit status.c to suit your needs and recompile. The
html is not (yet) abstracted from the CGI's.

 problem with Alert History and Event Log   
2003-03-19 17:04 
 
 
 
 Hello,
 
 I have a Nagios Box running on a solaris 8 compiled with database
support, I used all
options that have database support in the compilation...
 
 And Now I have the following problem:
 
 When a service is down nagios alerts me with mail, pager, but when I'll
see the alert
history anything is logged there, becasue that I can't generate some
statistics correctly.
What I could be wrong ?
 
 If someone need to see my config files just ask that I put here the
specified file !
 
 []'s
 
 Thanks.

Use the notification_period or notification_optins to supress notifications;

define contact {

Subject: User Authentication
Message-ID: <6633DBDE6F5ED64D9D6AF3264AEE891467C67C@shrex.asp.firstlink.com>

Hello,

I am trying to set up user authentication for users to access only their hosts and services. Nagios docs seem to indicate that HTTP Authentication should be enough to accomplish this as long as the authenticated username matches the short name of the contact for a particular host/service. I have this all set up per the documentation, however although the user can authenticate, he/she does not seem to have access to view the correct information.

I also notice that when a certain user logs in, the menu links do not change. This gives all the users links to the same place.

For Example...

http://server.nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail

I would think it should read....

http://server.nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=myhostsgroups&style=hostdetail

where "myhostgroups" would correspond to the hosts/hostgroups that I am a contact for and thus allowed to view.

Has anyone been able to successfully get this set up?

Ooops. Figured out the boo boo after I posted. 

However, why is it that users can still see the "Service Detail" of other users hosts?

Subject: Couple of problems
Message-ID: <20030702201854.GA21247@neospire.net>

O.k.
Nagios is a great tool, but I am having some problems.
1)
Nagios v1.1
    configure options: --with-nagios-user=nagios
    --with-nagios-grp=nagios --with-mysql-xdata --with-mysql-status
    --with-mysql-comments --with-mysql-extinfo --with-mysql-retention
    --with-template-objects --with-mysql-downtime
    --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib --enable-embedded-perl
    --with-perlcache --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib
MySql 3.23.49
Server is:
    dual PIII 750MHZ
    512mb RAM

Nagios is chewing up ungodly amounts of memory.
No errors or anything, just every few days the server runs out of 
RAM and the Nagios process is the culprit. This did not happen until I
upgraded to 1.1 and started using MySql.

2)
I hope I am reading this wrong, but most of my active checks are
scheduled to take place every minute. I am running a 223 second average
latency for checks. In our environment this is unacceptable. Is
distributed monitoring the only option for really getting this latency
under control?

What does the relevant piece of your config.log file show?  There were
probably some undefined symbols when linking the check program.  I just
submitted a patch to nagios-devel for configure.in which adds -liconv to the
gd check link lines if it's available (I bumped into this on Solaris).

Subject: nsclient CF avg DB Access time
In-Reply-To: <6633DBDE6F5ED64D9D6AF3264AEE891467C9D2@shrex.asp.firstlink.com>

I have searched through the mailing list, and have not found a solution.  So
here goes:

I've got a custom check_nt command:

define command{
        command_name    check_nt_cftime
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v
COUNTER -l "\\ColdFusion MX Server\\Avg DB Time (msec)","Server Average DB
Time is %.2f %%" -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
        }

and

define service {
host_name                      Server
service_description            Server CF DB Time
check_command                  check_nt_archimage_cftime!20!75
use                            generic-service
max_check_attempts             9
normal_check_interval          1
retry_check_interval           1
check_period                   24x7
notification_interval          480
notification_period            24x7
notification_options           c,r
contact_groups                 windows-admins
}

Returns:

/usr/local/nagios/etc# ../libexec/check_nt -H serverip -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l
"\\ColdFusion MX Server\\Avg DB Time (msec)","Server CF Average DB Time is
%.2f" -w 80 -c 90
Server ColdFusion Average DB Time is 0.00 %

or in nagios:

mage CF DB Time
OK
07-02-2003 15:39:42
0d 1h 14m 31s
1/9
Archimage ColdFusion Average DB Time is 0.00 %

This is driving me nuts.  I've run ctrlist.exe and verified the name of the
counter, and have a similiar check running on the size of an mssql database:

Server DB Size
OK
07-02-2003 15:42:24
3d 16h 52m 15s
1/9
Server SQL DB size is 86208.00 %

The server/client versions of nsclient are the same, and the other checks on
the server resolve fine.  I've tried every combination of inserting \'s into
the string that I can think of.  Still, all I get is a return value of 0.
If ANYONE has any information pertaining to how I can fix this I would be
most appreciative.

Thanks in advance,

Subject: CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
Message-ID: <A01BF39C-ACD4-11D7-BA3A-000393914A3A@mail.utexas.edu>

i'm trying to get nrpe 2.0b4 working, and i'm receiving the ssl error 
stated in the subject line when the checks run in nagios or when i try 
to run them by hand:

[nagios at muttley libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H sarge check_load
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

based on the thread at the url below, i recompiled nrpe on both the 
server and the client with the --disable-ssl flag, however the error 
message persists.  is there an additional argument that needs to be 
passed to turn off ssl?

I, too recompiled with the --disable-ssl and am still seeing the same error

Jason:

I have access to a different version of ColdFusion, its perfmon counter is called simply 
ColdFusion Server. However I did notice that it had a single instance (cfserver). I was 
able to get results with the Custom Counter using the "\\ColdFusion Server(cfserver\\Avg 
DB Time (msec)" format.

Hi Seth,

Look for the Debian specific docs in /usr/share/doc/nagios-mysql. However,
I think that your problem is the default paths set in the nagios.cfg.
Debian likes to move all config files to /etc/nagios as opposed to
/home/nagios/*. The plugins and CGI scripts are also in different places.
You can use 'dpkg -L nagios-mysql' to see where the package put its files.
I'd give you more hints, but I'm working on the same transition and
haven't quite got mine working either ;).

Good Luck,

Dear Sir,

I am writing about your memory consumption problem with dual PIII 750 
MHz running Nag 1.1 with ePN and SQL backends.

ePN with caching is a memory pig: because the Perl parse tree stays in 
core (as part of the Nag process), your memory requirements are much 
greater than usual, and they usually increase.

How many services are you checking ?

You may do better from the memory point of view without 
perl-cache-enable (or whatever the configure option is).

Otherwise, this may be an SQL backend issue that others may repond to.

Yours sincerely.

I have two services, http and https. This host being in DMZ, i can't ping

Thanks in advance for your help.

Why don't use another host_check_command that actually can decide if the 
host is alive?

How do i pass arguments to plugins in the config files?

And, how does the ! (bang?) argument work for the check_ping plugin?

Subject: statusmap.cgi: overlapped hosts on circular drawing
Message-ID: <3F04225B.5010909@mindcreations.com>

Hi all,

I've noticed that in a big environment (like 500 hosts) the 
statusmap.cgi draws hosts too close each other in circular representations.
Unable to fix this annoying "overlapping" problem using normal nagios 
command/parameters I've decided to modify the source file statumap.c.
As result I've modified this line only:

#define CIRCULAR_DRAWING_RADIUS         100

raising the value to:

#define CIRCULAR_DRAWING_RADIUS         175

that, for me, it is an acceptable value.

The effect on the graph is that hosts are more far each other starting 
from the center of the circle outwards.

I was wondering why this useful parameter has not been added to the web 
interface instead of being hardcoded.

I have no time to build a patch to both web interface and statusmap.cgi 
to implement this so I've modified the value in a permanent way.

Maybe this can be considered a useful feature (in fact simple!) to add 
to next versions.

However this change does not solve completely the overlapping problem. 
So I'm trying to modify the algorithm to make Nagios put more space 
between hosts even in the "horizontal" line, increasing the degrees 
occupied by hosts .


Bye all

Subject: Embedded Perl and process performance data command with --with-default-perfdata
Message-ID: <3F042392.2040505@bellsouth.net>

I'm reading the docs on the embedded perl interpreter and all its 
discussing is plug-ins.

I'm using passive checks and nsca, but expect to have hundreds of tests 
for which I will want to process performance data on the central 
monitoring server.

Will perl programs for performance data processing take advantage of the 
embedded perl interpreter?

thanks

I am trying to monitor the various routers and switches on the network. Can
anyone suggest a good way to do this? I was thinking of using snmp traps
with another monitoring program that we use but I was wondering if anyone
had any ideas I could use with nagios. Basically which check_* program to
use. If you have any suggestions or want to explain the way you monitor your
switches or routers, I'd definately appreciate it.

Thanks!

I have access to a different version of ColdFusion, its perfmon counter is
called simply
ColdFusion Server. However I did notice that it had a single instance
(cfserver). I was
able to get results with the Custom Counter using the "\\ColdFusion
Server(cfserver\\Avg
DB Time (msec)" format.

Subject: Database migration script?
Message-ID: <1057242413.88a7a4ccb2bfa@webmail3.iu13.org>

Hello,

Given the upcoming deprecation of database support for storing status and other
information, has anyone worked up a script to extract current information from
a database and put it into a flat text file?  I currently have everything
stored in a MySQL database and I'm going to have to convert that into straight
text files if I want to maintain historical statistics for services and hosts
I'm monitoring.  I'm thinking it should not be difficult but I also don't want
to reinvent the wheel either, if its been done before.

Also, while I've read over the rationale for dropping database support, it seems
a bit short-sighted, in my opinion.  Using text files may seem simpler and
easier to program in the short-term but long-term, the flexibility of being
able to use SQl to write reports and the scalability of using a database to
maintain hundreds of host/service records for many years far outweighs the
extra code maintenance required.  I guess one could always argue that you can
write a text to database conversion script, which is indeed an option and which
leads me to a thought regarding nagios output:  would it be feasible to design
Nagios with an output abstraction level that one could then write plugins for,
such that Nagios presents the data to the output layer and then depending on
which plugin you have configured, the plugin would take care of writing the
data out to a text file or to a SQL database or Berkeley database or whatever
else types of output plugins might be developed?  Just a thought, probably more
applicable to the developers list.

Thanks,
Kevin

I can add a line to contact.cfg for each contact to have 'pcname

But that doesn't do the trick..is there anywhere in the docs that can help?
Thanks

Message-ID: <20030703155308.44555.qmail@web9807.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi,

I use netsaint for over two years and now I am
planning to move to nagios.

I've already migrated the old config to the template
style and I read that I can simply copy the old
netsaint logs to the nagios and I'll not loose any
data.

I was wondering if there is a script to import such
files to mysql because I am considering using nagios
with such capability.

regards,

robert

I am only doing the regular active and passive checks that are included

another suggestion to remove the --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache
options from my configure line. I am about to test with that build now.

Subject: NRPE Could not read request from client, bailing out...
Message-ID: <005701c341a0$a413ce00$1c08010a@odesk>

I am now getting the following error from the remote box when trying to execute a check_nrpe command from the host.

Could not read request from client, bailing out...

When I run the command locally (check_load) it runs just fine, also I am listening on 5666

Any Ideas ?

Subject: check_ping - time outs
Message-ID: <20030703210943.97879.qmail@web80511.mail.yahoo.com>

Hello,

I increased the number of packets that is sent to a
host from 1 to 15 and am now getting this error:

CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 30 seconds 


Here are my commands:

define command{
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80%% -c 5000.0,100%% -p 15 -t
30
        }

define command{
        command_name    check-router-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w 100,20%% -c 200.0,40%% -p 15 -t 30
        }


What could be causing this?  I want a more accurate
average, this is why I increased the # of packets.  I
first thought it was the timeout setting, so I raised
that to 30 but that didnt help.

Thanks!

=====
Terry

I went through this problem last year.  I looked at many of the VRML
options and at the time did not find a plugin for use with Mozilla under
Red Hat 8.  I found one that sort of worked under Microsoft Explorer. 
But it was not very good.  Finally gave up on it.

If you have a specific plugin that works under Mozilla on Linux I would
be very interested.

Hi

I am just wondering could the problem be because it requires version 0.9.7a?

"As of this time you will need to have the latest greatest version of
OpenSSL (tested against version 0.9.7a) since not all versions have
the AES algorythm in them." -- README.SSL

just my 0.02 cents

Hi

Why don't you try upgrading to Nagios 1.0 onwards first? :-)

hi:

how does Nagios determin the network devices it
monitor? bases on ip addresses or those devices have
to have DNS name and with reverse DNS lookup?

nagios -v nagiso.cf kept failling by saying:

Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not find host 'xx-xx-xxxx'

Error: Could not expand member hosts specified in
hostgroup (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg', line 39)


***> One or more problems was encountered while
processing the config files...

but the device xx-xx-xxxx is alive with no DNS
record...

any suggestions?

thanks

Hi

Nagios monitors devices through external nagios plugins and yes you are 
half-right, it is determined based on MACROS passed. You must add host 
xxx.xxx.xx.xxx into the hostgroups.cfg file as a member. I would suggest you 
read the Nagios docs. :-)

Hello

With nagios we create external historical availability and performance
reports. 
In the log files nagios.log and archived logs, are only negative and
appropriate positive events reported.
Is it possible, to perform/report all status-information's including
ok-states for every check-cycle into one log file ?

Thanks
Kurt

You don't have all the needed MIBS, specifically the MIB where the "comtek" object
is defined.

http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/commands/mib-options.html

By the way, since your question does not have anything to do specifically with
Nagios, perhaps it would be better suited for a posting to the net-snmp-users
mailing list instead.

Hi all :

 I have installed Nagios the first time, and after install plugin, all cgis give me "Internal Server Error"

Error_log tell me :

Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/nagios/sbin/config.cgi or
Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/nagios/sbin/status.cgi

all cgis give the same error .

I have checked permissions and it seems ok...

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Subject: Nagios on Win32
Message-ID: <20030705190634.GA11689@nag.inorganic.org>

A search of the mailing list archive (for the "win32" string) didn't seem
to bring up any relevant results.  Hopefully this isn't a FAQ (though I
checked it also).

I really like Nagios, and have run it for a while now on UNIX systems.  I
prefer its layout to Big Brother's, though this may be just an issue of
what I'm used to.

Unfortunately, I'm dealing now with two environments that are Windows-only,
and while I could do the "hey, it only runs on UNIX so we need UNIX here"
dance, A) I'm not likely to win; and B) I hate it when Windows people do it
to me.

So ... Has anyone managed to port Nagios to the win32 platform?

Subject: Nagios XML Engine (NXE) Version 1.0 released
Message-ID: <OFF9DAEDD7.16EDF369-ON85256D5A.001DB679-85256D5A.006DF55D@julieanddan.com>

NXE 1.0 has been released and is available at http://nxe.sourceforge.net

For those who haven't played with the beta, NXE is the Nagios XML Engine 
that converts multiple Nagios status log files into XML and much more. 
Some of the most interesting features of this package include:

* NXE provides an XML-RPC interface for reporting from and issuing 
external commands to Nagios.
* Can be used from the command line.
* Can be used from URLs (HTTP GET). 
* NXE provides the ability to transform Nagios data into XML, HTML, PDF, 
Microsoft Excel or Word.
* NXE works on any Perl enabled system (tested on Win32 & a couple of 
Linux distros). 

I have added some great new features such as XSLT transformations and a 
full XML-RPC interface for the final 1.0 code release. Current version 
only supports Nagios 1.0. Many new exciting features (and Nagios 2.0 
compatibility) will be in the next version.

If you test it out, please send me a note and let me know how you like it.

I got it to compile under cygwin. Didn't try running it though.
It was a stock ./configure IIRC.

Subject: notification porblem.
Message-ID: <457CE430FA75D61193D90002A5F0CF89012E7D1F@ZAVITAN>

Greetings.

i have just recently established nagios on my redhat 9 linux box.
all went well and the configuration is fine.

I am trying to use a sendsms perl script that send sms to my nokia celloar
phone.
>From the command line, all is fine and the massege appear on my phone (very
fast i might add).
but from nagios nothing happenes. i know the configuration if fine and the
notifications are enabled.
i even have a test notification, i.e all notification are appened to a test
file, and they appear quite nicely. the test and the sms command come
together.
i tried to hide the perl script behind a bash script, but nothing happened.

there is a shortage of debugging tools for nagios. it appears that for some
reason, nagios can not esablish a shell processs and run the perl script.
or maybe  i am wrong.

any suggestions? i need to set this up on a tight scheduale.

thanks, in advance.

Moshe Roffe.

I think Nag would have to be, like Ntop, written for or at least with 
Win32 in mind for this to be feasable.

However, there is a configure option for Cygwin. Is that an option for 
you ?

Yes, very much so, thank you.  

This is great -- I'm walking into an environment that's been limping along
with Big Brother for a while now, and the cursory look I've taken at it for
the last 3-4 days makes me love Nagios even more.  Running it under Cygwin
is perfectly OK in this organization.

that, as Mr McClure wrote, this problem is not caused by Nagios 

However, it is of sufficient importance to Nagios users to warrant some 
amplification.

It really is trmendously important for Nagios to be able to harvest 
passive service check results from extant/legacy SNMP trap 
infrastructure and while Nagios is _not_ an SNMP manager, it can be 
adapted to do so as described in the docs ('Integration with other 
software').

The assumption for those dealing with SNMP is that one is able to deal 
with the matters you have raised.

Quite frankly however, doing so this is not obvious and frustrating. So
settle back. If you still have an interest in this matter you will have
to do some work finding out about Net-SNMP and MIBs.

What follows is simply what I have found helpful in doing this stuff. It 
is not specifically helpful to your problem but may help.
it.

1 You should have a look at the FAQs on the Net-SNMP. IIRC correctly
they answer the question of 'unlinked OID'.

2 snmptranslate is your friend in dealing with freshly downloaded MIBs. 
If snmptranslate cannot convert an OID from the MIB to numeric format, 
snmptrapd will fail.

Common causes of snmptranslate failures are

2.1 You don't have the MIBS that are required by the problem MIB. These 
are listed in the IMPORT list. 

Unfortunately, there is no MIB infrastructure that I know of that 
downloads a MIB and its pre-reqs. However, this is an ignorant Unix 
context remark.

2.2 The MIBs are not in the place Net-SNMP expects them.

You really want a private MIB directory so you don't risk clobbering the 
standard MIBs in (maybe) /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/.

Net-SNMP offers ~home/.snmp for this purpose

2.3 The MIBS are not compiled

You need to use -MAll (?) as an option for the CLI tools or update your 
SNMP configuration to read _all_ your MIB directories and compile all 
the MIBs.

2.4 The MIB has "\r\n" (it's in DOS format).

You can get these out with something like

perl -i.bak -pe 's/\r//g' <mib_name>

2.5 The MIB is poorly formed and requires manual editing.

This is unlikely but not impossible,

2.6 Prepare to accept a failure and try another MIB. Some of the Cisco 
MIBs for example are not accepted by all the IOSs (eg CPU utiilistion)

3 Invest some time in learning about how to test your trap handlers with 
either snmptrap or Net::SNMP::snmptrap (?). 

You really need to be able to generate ad-hoc traps and these tools are 
helpful.

HTH

Yours sincerely.

Hi,

On the network I want to monitore with Nagios, servers have two network card 
(they have two ip address, one for the backup) . Do I define a host for each 
ip or can I define a host with several IP (in  hosts.cfg, hostgroups.cfg, 
services.cfg ... )? 
Actually, I define a host for each IP but I wonder if that's the best 
solution... 

Thanks for your help
Greg.

Subject: Can FTP check handle 421?
Message-ID: <1057577139.1287.5.camel@rockley.barbados>

Some of the systems my nagios box checks have user limits on their ftp
servers.  If the max number of users are logged into the ftp server it
returns a 421 when a new connection is made as it should.

Is there anyway I can tell nagios to handle this gracefully and report
that the ftp is up and fine.  Currently it reports a warning, which  I
do not want it to do as technically nothing is wrong.

TIA,

Nick Gushlow

I am having a mental block.....I have nagios running in production just

and now it will not accept the definition "hostextinfo".  Nagios was

"xedtemplate_config_file" setting in the cgi.cfg file.  Here is my
hostextinfo settings.......(same as production)......

define hostextinfo{

 If I execute "/bin/ping -n -U -c 5 xx.xxx.xxx.xx" by console work fine... Also with the next command by console work fine :

 ./check_ping -H xx.xx.xx.xx  -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

because I get "PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 40.55 ms"

But nagios allways return me "UNKNOWN status"

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Spent many hours trying to find a resolution to the error message:

No lock file found in /var/run/nagios.pid

this is the message from the linux services: nagios


When I run the command 'nagios' from the Linux command prompt, the error is:
segmentation fault.

We are running RH9 with all updates
We tried running RPM packages as well, tried different install configure prefix commands. Appears our *.cfg files are right....

Seems there are a few users, from searching the net, that have the same problem, but cannot seem to find a resolution.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Sure looks to me like _gdImagePng is not defined in your gd library.  Are
you sure your gd library is a new enough version and/or that when built, PNG
support was available (to insure that gd's build process compiled
gdImagePng)?

That usually means that there is a problem with your config file.  Try 
Nagios -v -c /path/to/config it will tell you what the problem is.

[Nagios-users] no lock file found






Hello,

Spent many hours trying to find a resolution to the error message:

No lock file found in /var/run/nagios.pid

this is the message from the linux services: nagios


When I run the command 'nagios' from the Linux command prompt, the error 
is:
segmentation fault.

We are running RH9 with all updates
We tried running RPM packages as well, tried different install configure 
prefix commands. Appears our *.cfg files are right....

Seems there are a few users, from searching the net, that have the same 
problem, but cannot seem to find a resolution.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Meg~

I have a windows 2000 box (ugh!) running a pretty critical app that is
also very buggy.  The company obviously followed the "Fast, Reliable,
and cheap, pick any two" track.  Anyway, the program dies occasionally. 
No errors no nothing it just vanishes.  It's as easy as just double
clicking it's icon to get it back up and running.  Is there a way to
check if the app is running, and if not either alert me or start the
program?

I have checked the archives but the sourceforge search thing isn't
working right now.  I think I'm supposed to use the nrpe_nt but does it
matter that I'm on 2k? and the software is listed as beta, is anyone
else using it without any problems?

You can actually use SNMP to get a list of processes running on a Win2K
box.

Personally, I'd consider one ip to be the 'master' in the hosts file and
just have 3 'PING ip' services defined for that host.

You can do it however you'd like though.

Message-ID: <14300.5412923687$1057613475@news.gmane.org>

I monitor many Win2k systems via SNMP (hrSWRunTable) to ensure
specific processes are always running.

I do it via a custom shell script plugin I wrote for Netsaint 0.0.7,
I'm not certain there is a direct equivalent available in the
nagios-plugins. I hope so, I'm about to move to Nagios. It searches
hrSWRunTable for X instances of process Y. If X > or < a
threshold, it returns warn/crit/ok and the number of matching
processes. Some of my systems are running multiple databases, and so
should always have 2+ processes with the same executable name running
at a time.

NSClient can be installed on the Win2k server and then you can monitor
specific processes by executable name, instead of SNMP. The advantage
I found is that SNMP comes with Win2k and is a quick setup, plus I can
get performance info off the Win2k box with Cricket with hostmib.

One other option you might consider is using FireDaemon (
http://www.firedaemon.com/ ) to create a windows service from the
application you wish to run. Then you can use NSClient to monitor the
status of that service. You could even be so bold as to make the
service restart automatically if it should stop. ;]

Bryan

just my 2 cents, but of course I'm a little biased:

- SNMP might be an option if you already use this for other purposes, but it
can't resolve your "restart on failure" issue
- I might be paranoid, but wrapping something already buggy into a service
wrapper doesn't sound _too_ good to me, even if Russells point about
automatic restarting is valid.

- To answer your questions about nrpe_nt: 
  - Yes it runs on W2K, and I have also reports of running it on 2K3-Server
(In fact it was developed on W2K)
  - Yes, it's still labeled beta, as I don't have "enough" feedback gathered
to label it stable, even if I got some... 
  - All problem reports I received for the latest build (0.5b - available
approx. three weeks) boiled down to configuration issues.
    Currently I'm not aware of any open bugs, which could of course be
because no one reported it but just stopped looking at it... 

So, here's what I'd do:

- Get a copy of pstools from sysinternals [
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml ]
- script something like this, and define as a nrpe_nt command:

######### checkandrestart.cmd start #########################
@echo off
setlocal
set PROCNAME=notepad
REM Assume state ok
set RETVAL=0
set RETSTR=%PROCNAME% running

REM check if process exists
pslist | find "%PROCNAME%" >NUL
if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 GOTO SCRIPTEND
REM We need to restart, attempt restart and report WARNING
set RETVAL=1
set RETSTR=Restarted %PROCNAME%
echo restarting %PROCNAME% @ %DATE%-%TIME%>> %PROCNAME%-restart.log
start %PROCNAME%.exe

REM check if restart successful
pslist | find "%PROCNAME%" > NUL
if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 GOTO SCRIPTEND
REM We failed to restart, report CRITICAL
set RETVAL=2
set RETSTR=Could not restart %PROCNAME%
echo Failed restarting %PROCNAME% @ %DATE%-%TIME%>> %PROCNAME%-restart.log

:SCRIPTEND
echo %RETSTR%
exit %RETVAL%

######### checkandrestart.cmd end ###########################

I just wrote this down, so please don't expect it to be fully tested, but
you should get the idea...

cheers
Michael

frustrating. 

I am trying to monitor temperature on an APC Symmetra. The problem I am
running into is with the check_snmp module. I am testing the commands
outside of Nagios for now and this is the command I planned on using: 
check_snmp -v -H X.X.X.X -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.2.1.1.0 -C public

The command that is created from that is:
snmpget -m ALL -v 1 -c public X.X.X.X:161 .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.2.1.1.0

And that command is just wrong. Near as I can tell, the command should
be: 
snmpget -v 1 X.X.X.X public .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.2.1.1.0

Adding "-m ALL" gives me a response, but "Did not find 'iso' in module
SNMPv2-SMI (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/SNMPv2-CONF.txt)" crops up.
Explicitly defining port 161 causes "snmpget: Unknown host
(157.185.1.70:161)"

But I don't know how or what I am doing wrong that is causing that
command to be so botched up. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Subject: check_dhcp
Message-ID: <sf09d143.098@gw1.messiah.edu>

I think check_dhcp must be run as root (not the same thing as being owned by
root). You may want to make it setuid root, so that when nagios invokes it,
it executes as root.

I recommend making the permissions something like this:

-rwsr-x---  root   nagios            check_dhcp

This will let only members of the nagios group (including the nagios user)
run the program.

This can be accomplished with these commands:

# chown root check_dhcp
# chgrp nagios check_dhcp
# chmod u=rwxs,g=rx,o= check_dhcp


Jason Long




>>> JJ Asghar <jasghar at celitesystems.com> 07/07/03 16:11 PM >>>

I complied the check_dhcp.c file, with gcc as root so the owners are
root and the group is root. my checkcommands.cfg has the line

define command{
	command_name check_dhcp
	command_line $USER1$/check_dhcp -s $ARG1$ -r $ARG2$ -i eth0
	}

and the services.cfg file has  the command line

check_command		check_dhcp!10.1.1.3!10.1.1.189

but i seem so still get the "Error: Could not bind socket to interface
eth0. Check your privileges..."

But it's owned and controled by root.....i'm lost

I do not believe '-m ALL' is wrong. You can determine for your self with
'man snmpcmd'

I think that means you have a bad MIB somewhere, or you are missing 
an important MIB in your MIB search path. Use:

check_snmp -v -H X.X.X.X -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.2.1.1.0 -C public -m ''

	This is already a known issue and is simply an extra set of comments
around some of the code that produces the tac.cgi... I believe a
actual patch was posted to the list in someone elses reply in the past
month... In any way it is fixed int CVS and shouldn't be a problem with
the next release...

Hi

I use too this excellent work.

The only problem i have is with embedded perl
it doesn't work on RH9
you have to get the source rpm and to remove the line concerning
embedded perl.
at least it works for me

hope that helps

Hi all :

 

 I get a error with "check_ping" and "check-host-alive"...

 

 Allways I get UNKNOWN status   and the Status Information is : "/bin/ping
-n -U -c 5 xx.xxx.xxx.xx"..

 

 If I execute "/bin/ping -n -U -c 5 xx.xxx.xxx.xx" by console work fine...
Also with the next command by console work fine :

 

 ./check_ping -H xx.xx.xx.xx  -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

 

because I get "PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 40.55 ms"

 

But nagios allways return me "UNKNOWN status"

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you can use nrpe_nt. It works fine on W2K. The binaries and some plugins are
available at http://support.tsmgsoftware.com. You can download a plugin to
check Windows processes at the same site. I'm using it to monitor a few
processes and it works fine so far.

I have a windows 2000 box (ugh!) running a pretty critical app that is
also very buggy.  The company obviously followed the "Fast, Reliable,
and cheap, pick any two" track.  Anyway, the program dies occasionally. 
No errors no nothing it just vanishes.  It's as easy as just double
clicking it's icon to get it back up and running.  Is there a way to
check if the app is running, and if not either alert me or start the
program?

I have checked the archives but the sourceforge search thing isn't
working right now.  I think I'm supposed to use the nrpe_nt but does it
matter that I'm on 2k? and the software is listed as beta, is anyone
else using it without any problems?

It took me over a week before I found out that a faulty memory bank
caused this error.
After reading http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ (although in my case it
didn't happen while compiling) I decided to try switching memory banks
between systems. A slower system now has the memory bank that caused my
problem, and both systems work fine!

Hello,

Spent many hours trying to find a resolution to the error message:

No lock file found in /var/run/nagios.pid

this is the message from the linux services: nagios


When I run the command 'nagios' from the Linux command prompt, the error
is: segmentation fault.

We are running RH9 with all updates
We tried running RPM packages as well, tried different install configure
prefix commands. Appears our *.cfg files are right....

Seems there are a few users, from searching the net, that have the same
problem, but cannot seem to find a resolution.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Message-ID: <A9F75F9AB514D611A69D0002A5AD9BED0D15F059@lmnukex05.lastminute.com>

hi,

nagios version: 1.1
platform : suse-linux (2.4.10)
This is a non-root install, ie in /home/user
because of some other program compatibilies, a couple of custom libries have
been installed, relevant to nagios:
/home/lib/libgd.so

Here are the configure options:

--with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin --with-htmurl=/nagios \
--with-nagios-user=xxx --with-nagios-grp=xxx \
--with-command-user=xxx --with-command-grp=xxx \
--with-init-dir=/home/user/bin/ \
--with-lockfile=/home/user/nagios/var/nagios.lock \
--with-gd-lib=/home/user/lib --with-gd-inc=/home/user/include \
--with-pgsql-lib=/home/user/lib --with-pgsql-inc=/home/user/include \
--with-template-objects --with-template-extinfo \
--enable-embedded-perl

It compiles okay and 
ldd /home/user/nagios/sbin/trends.cgi gives:
        libgd.so.2 => /home/user/lib/libgd.so.2 (0x40016000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x40060000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4006f000)
        libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40091000)
        libjpeg.so.62 => /home/user/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x400c3000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400e2000)
        libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x40209000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40218000)
        libfreetype.so.6 => /home/user/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x402fb000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

But when I use the browser interface on trends.cgi, I get a cgi error with
this in the log file:
trends.cgi: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
[Tue Jul  8 13:50:26 2003] [error] [client xxx] Premature end of script
headers: /home/user/nagios/sbin/trends.cgi

When I do a simple get call from the command line (after export
REQUEST_METHOD=GET) I get a correct reply.

What am i missing here?

(The same kind of errors show when I try to use PostgreSQl to log the data,
ie the CGI scripts cannot find libpq ...)

Check to make sure that /home/user/lib/libgd.so.2 is readable by the
http user.

You may also need to add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig -V
to verify it's seen. A restart of apache might also be necessary.

Subject: Host check and Service Check timing
Message-ID: <9AC614ABB62FB4489015BF7CBF9F68205C6A24@patton.infosysnetworks.com>

Here is the problem, I monitor many hosts that are several hops away. During the day, when the traffic loads get high, I start getting many false alarms. I have the service check set to every 3 minutes with the retry interval set to 2 minutes. This should give me at least 4 minutes before alarms. (misses the scheduled poll, waits 2 min and tries, waits 2 min and tries) However, this is not how it is working. It looks like the first time it misses the service check, it goes into hyper mode checking the host every 10 seconds (I guess this is the timeout interval for the plugin). I have the host check set to 10 tries, so this accounts for 100 seconds. So the alarm bells go off 100 seconds after the service check failed.

The biggest problem is that the host was never down. It is always a congested Wan link or VPN router. I have the parents set up correctly, but these don't have time to fail before the 100 seconds is up.

Is there a way to control the host check interval?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should check the version of the GD library you've installed
go to http://www.boutell.com/gd/
version 1.8.4 and 2.0.15 are available
1.8.4 is known to be stable, don't know for the other

hope it helps

Objet : [Nagios-users] libgd linking errors


hi,

nagios version: 1.1
platform : suse-linux (2.4.10)
This is a non-root install, ie in /home/user
because of some other program compatibilies, a couple of custom libries have
been installed, relevant to nagios:
/home/lib/libgd.so

Here are the configure options:

--with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin --with-htmurl=/nagios \
--with-nagios-user=xxx --with-nagios-grp=xxx \
--with-command-user=xxx --with-command-grp=xxx \
--with-init-dir=/home/user/bin/ \
--with-lockfile=/home/user/nagios/var/nagios.lock \
--with-gd-lib=/home/user/lib --with-gd-inc=/home/user/include \
--with-pgsql-lib=/home/user/lib --with-pgsql-inc=/home/user/include \
--with-template-objects --with-template-extinfo \
--enable-embedded-perl

It compiles okay and 
ldd /home/user/nagios/sbin/trends.cgi gives:
        libgd.so.2 => /home/user/lib/libgd.so.2 (0x40016000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x40060000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4006f000)
        libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40091000)
        libjpeg.so.62 => /home/user/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x400c3000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400e2000)
        libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x40209000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40218000)
        libfreetype.so.6 => /home/user/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x402fb000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

But when I use the browser interface on trends.cgi, I get a cgi error with
this in the log file:
trends.cgi: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
[Tue Jul  8 13:50:26 2003] [error] [client xxx] Premature end of script
headers: /home/user/nagios/sbin/trends.cgi

When I do a simple get call from the command line (after export
REQUEST_METHOD=GET) I get a correct reply.

What am i missing here?

(The same kind of errors show when I try to use PostgreSQl to log the data,
ie the CGI scripts cannot find libpq ...)

Thanks Marc,

The read permissions seem ok:
----------------
-rwxr-xr-x    1 user group        456230 Jul  7 16:51 libgd.so.2.0.0
----------------

And I run both apache and nagios as user and group:
ps -aux | grep user
-------------
user     20469  0.0  0.0  2380 1132 ?        S    13:14   0:00
/home/user/apache/bin/httpd
...
user     24737  0.0  0.2  3812 2516 ?        S    13:36   0:00
/home/user/nagios/bin/nagios -d 
    /home/user/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
----------------

Can't do ldconfig, as root is not an option, i did export :

LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/user/lib

A restart of apache also did not help

Subject: Site Logon Simulator
Message-ID: <20030708152541.26803.qmail@web80504.mail.yahoo.com>

Hello,

Has anyone written a site logon simulator of some
sorts?  I want to have nagios log into a site with
some credentials, perform some URL hits, like a normal
user, and return a code based on that information. 
Make sense?  I am sure I could devote a day and write
one but dont want to reinvent the wheel.  :) 
Actually, it would take me a day to figure out how to
do it and a day to actually write it.....and I am a
bad programmer on top of all that.

Thanks!

Terry

hmmm, thank you, I will give that a try. I was telling Steve that after un-installing the rpm and manually installing it, then used a check script he had sent me, nagios is working. But I still have issues on the running server. I will give that a look. 
 
Thank you gentlemen for your time. I do appreciate your time. With your help, I feel like I am out of the woods :)

Subject: State Retention
Message-ID: <NEEMIAGJDDDPMAINOEFDIEBOEOAA.toddm@toddles.com>

I'm not sure why this happened, but for some reason, Nagios has stopped
retaining state information on restart.  I recently upgraded to 1.1 and have
also been playing around with NagMin, so this may have some impact, but I'm
stuck at this point and am looking for some insight.

In my nagios.cfg file, I have the following set:

retain_state_information=1
state_retention_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.sav
use_retained_program_state=1

The status.sav file gets created when I stop the service, but when I
restart, all services are in PENDING state.  I must be missing something,
but I can't figure out what.

Thanks,
Todd

Subject: Can't get rid of old config
Message-ID: <194-1893245493.20030708181804@scotwebsolutions.com>

nagios-users,

I've just been making some changes to my network and altered my Nagios
config last night to reflect this. The old config checked 18 services,
mostly HTTP checks. The new config has 37 checks, mostly pings.

After restarting the process (and manually stopping and starting to
make sure), I'm getting strange results from the web interface. On any
of the report screens, it will sometimes show the 37 new checks and
sometimes the 18 old ones. There is no consistency to this. If you let
the screen refresh for a while, it will randomly show one or the
other. Looking at the scheduling queue also switches randomly between
showing the new PINGs scheduled and the old HTTP checks.

I've turned off state retention in case this caused it but it made no
difference. I'm running Nagios 1.0 on RedHat 8 and have been doing so
for at least 6 months with no problems until now.

Any ideas how I get rid of the old config which seems to be hanging
around?

Hey guys ~

I am unable to run a shell script from Nagios. Everytime the is run I
receive the error  Number 127. Anyone have any success doing this?

Basically I am setting service to monitor the local interface on the
nagios box, if it goes down. Nagios will execute the event_handler and
dial to an ISP to send out notifictions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Josh

Are you absolutely _sure_ you killed all the nagios processes? It really
sounds like at least one remained. That's classic behavior as one will
update the status file with the new information and the other will
re-write the status file with the old information. You might also try
deleting your status.sav file after stopping nagios, but I think this is
much less likely to be the cause.

What is your command definition? A return code of 127 means that the
shell command you are trying to execute is not found or alternately is
not accessible/executable by the calling user. Check the command
definition for the correct path and verify that the command is
executable as the nagios user. Don't just check permissions, actually
run it as some other dependent file, device (like the com port) or
program might not be accessible by the nagios user.

Marc,

Thanks very much. I checked again and had indeed missed one process.
Killing this and restarting has fixed the problem.

Subject: Site Logon Simulator
Message-ID: <sf0aceae.088@gw1.messiah.edu>

It looks like the check_http plugin has some of that capability, but
personally I couldn't get it to work.

Theoretically, you could do something like this

check_http --url=http://hostname/login.asp
--post='username=john&password=secret' --string="Login successful"

This would simulate a "login" and check the result page to verify that the
user actually logged in.

Run check_http -h for information about what these parameters are supposed
to do. However, like I said, it didn't work for me. Perhaps I'm not using
them correctly or they haven't been implemented.

Hello,

Has anyone written a site logon simulator of some
sorts?  I want to have nagios log into a site with
some credentials, perform some URL hits, like a normal
user, and return a code based on that information. 
Make sense?  I am sure I could devote a day and write
one but dont want to reinvent the wheel.  :) 
Actually, it would take me a day to figure out how to
do it and a day to actually write it.....and I am a
bad programmer on top of all that.

Thanks!

Terry

I do not believe '-m ALL' is wrong. You can determine for your self with
'man snmpcmd'

I think that means you have a bad MIB somewhere, or you are missing 
an important MIB in your MIB search path. Use:

check_snmp -v -H X.X.X.X -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.2.1.1.0 -C public -m ''

Those are not recognized configure options. The default is for those
features to be disabled. You must explicitly use the
--enable-embedded-perl and --with-perlcache to turn them on.

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

normal_check_interval: This directive is used to define the number of "time units" to wait before scheduling the next "regular" check of the service. "Regular" checks are those that occur when the service is in an OK state or when the service is in a non-OK state, but has already been rechecked max_attempts number of times. Unless you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. More information on this value can be found in the check scheduling documentation.  

retry_check_interval: This directive is used to define the number of "time units" to wait before scheduling a re-check of the service. Services are rescheduled at the retry interval when the have changed to a non-OK state. Once the service has been retried max_attempts times without a change in its status, it will revert to being scheduled at its "normal" rate as defined by the check_interval value. Unless you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. More information on this value can be found in the check scheduling documentation.  

You'll need to adjust the values above depending on how you want to accomplish it. I use 

        max_check_attempts              5
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            3

Which yields about 15-20 minutes between down and notification (one normal 5 minute check + 5 retries at 3 minutes each = 20).

Hey All,
 
   I'm a lowlly intern at a startup that has the daughting task to set up a solid nagios system, and i NEED HELP. My boss tells me to set up the system to get the paging part of the program up and running but it seems that i am stuck at just the installiation of the modem.  Would someone be so kind as to enlighten me on the inner working of the installation of the modem in linux and turn it into getting the page from nagios?  If you decide to do it i bet it would help alot of us out here.  Also yes i have read the FAQ and Docs but i'm still lost.  I'm running it on a Redhat 9 box so if you can gear it towards that it would be greatly apreciated.

Recently in testing I pulled a server offline for an exensive period.  I
noticed I recieved multiple notifications that it was down on the proper

where I might set the maximum notifications sent out.

Subject: SNMP or NSClient
Message-ID: <20030708201348.6475.qmail@linuxmail.org>

Hi Folks,

Which one to use to check Windows NT/2K states, like CPU load (single or multi-processors machines), Memory load,  Disk space, Service state, Process state, System uptime, File date & time:
- SNMP or
- NSClient

My customer says that prefered to use SNMP on the clients because SNMP is a protocol, in the full meaning of the word, and then, I could start a snmpd on the Nagios Server. But for administrative reasons, I prefer to use NSClient. It's fully integrated with Nagios.

You all that uses some of this two described above, what do you say? Which one is better?

I really hope for some answers... comments!
Thanks in advance!

I posted a message earlier about this. It seems that after the first service failure, Nagios immediately starts checking the host every 10 seconds. So, suppose you have the host max_check_attempts set to 5, then 50 seconds after the service fails, an alarm goes out the Host is down. True, this suppresses the alarm that the service is down, but still you get tons of false alarms due to network hiccups. Does anyone have an idea how to change this behavior?

I use both, they each have specific purposes.

The only thing I can't get with SNMP is service states. However, if
you can tie a Service back to an executable, you can monitor them.

NSClient is nice too, and does services.

I use SNMP because I use Cricket to gather performance trend data from
my Windows servers. Nagios is just used for operational status.

Once again, this is simply a fantastic assist for Nagios. Thank you for
mentioning it.

Subject: Nagios with MySQL compilation problems on Redhat 6.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0 and Solaris 8 - SOME POSSIBLE FIXES
References: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0306102119140.2282-100000@calcutta.sghosh.org> <010001c32fd0$a3bd96c0$d700a8c0@iih.usyd.edu.au> <007101c3314e$d524ba70$d700a8c0@iih.usyd.edu.au> <3EE9D3D6.5F27600E@Virginia.EDU>
Message-ID: <005301c345ac$aa255290$3400a8c0@iih.usyd.edu.au>

Whilst getting Nagios to work with MySQL I encountered a number of
compilation problems (which a number of people on this list have also
experienced - I counted at least 30 posts with the same error messages).  I
got these problems occurring with both Nagios 1.0, 1.1 and the 1-x-cvs on
Redhat 8 and 9.  I have also gone through the list archives and listed in
the subject line all the other OS' for which people have posted the same
problem with compilation.

The problems I encountered were:

1.  After ./configure finds the MySQL libraries and includes
(using --with-mysql-lib and --with-mysql-inc) the 'make all' fails with:

../xdata/xrddb.c:41:25: mysql/mysql.h: No such file or directory

In order to get this to work I edited the following files:

xcddb.c
xdddb.c
xeddb.c
xrddb.c
xsddb.c

and explicitly told Nagios where to find the includes by changing:

#ifdef USE_XRDMYSQL

#include <mysql/mysql.h>
#include <mysql/errmsg.h>
#endif

to:

#ifdef USE_XRDMYSQL

#include "/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql.h"
#include "/usr/local/mysql/include/errmsg.h"
#endif

2.  After fixing this problem I run 'make all' again and get the following
errors:

/tmp/cccMNNgs.o: In function `xrddb_initialize':
/downloads/nagios-1.1/base/../xdata/xrddb.c:215: undefined reference to
`mysql_init'
/tmp/cccMNNgs.o: In function `xrddb_connect':
/downloads/nagios-1.1/base/../xdata/xrddb.c:252: undefined reference to
`mysql_real_connect'
/downloads/nagios-1.1/base/../xdata/xrddb.c:254: undefined reference to
`mysql_close'
etc, etc

I discovered this related to Nagios being unable to find the MySQL libaries
(http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Link_errors.html).

To fix this problems you need to place the LDFLAGS statements:

-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz

at the end of the compile statement after the file names like so:

gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/local/mysql/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNSCGI avail.c
getcgi.o cgiutils.o auth.o popen.o  ../common/objects.c
../xdata/xodtemplate.c ../common/statusdata.c ../xdata/xsddb.c -o
avail.cgi -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz

Not being a programmer I have no idea who to change the makefile to move the
LDFLAGS stuff to the end of the compilation statement so I manually compiled
each program - but I am sure one of the more programmer-orientated types can
explain how this is done.

Hope this helps some others with their compile problems.

Regards

James Turnbull

Subject: Nagios doesn't check my services
Message-ID: <3F0B8301.4030301@simcastmedia.com.au>

I'm using Debian.  I installed nagios-text (using apt-get).  I installed 
the nagios plugins (from SourceForge from the source).  I copied the 
plugins from the directory they installed into 
(/usr/local/nagios/libexec) to the directory where nagios expects the 
plugsin (/usr/lib/nagios/plugins).  The binaries work from the shell, 
the have world-executable permission (so nagios can run them).  I have 
added my hosts, I have added my services (just a ping at this stage), I 
have added my hosts to a host group.  The configuration files pass 
Nagios's pre-flight check.  The web-pages are working.  I get no errors 
in any of the log files.  The hosts appear in the "Host Detail" screen, 
however they read
Status: PENDING
Status Information: Not enough data to determine host status yet

I wait for the scheduled check, however the status does not change.  If 
I click on the host and then on "Schedule an immediate check of all 
services on this host", then then host registers as "UP", however if I 
look at the trends for the host (and for the ping service) they say 
"100% Indeterminate".

What's wrong?

Danny.

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

If you're trying to make sure that a given service is available
on a given IP interface (eg, httpd), then you should define
unique hostname/IP addresses in hosts.cfg.

If you don't care which of the 2 or more interfaces is available,
so long as you get the result back from the check (eg,
check_disk), then I suggest you have DNS set up properly
with multiple A records for a given FQDN, then reference that
FQDN in hosts.cfg (no need to specify the IP address).

HTH.

Hi,
 This is a tad off topic. I use NSclient as I don't know how to check
CPU load, disk states etc.. on windows servers via SNMP.
All I know how to do is system uptime & the like.
Could you point me to any docs that show up to use SNMP to check more on a
Windows server.
I use standard snmp that comes with windows & net-snmp on nagios box.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi *.*
i have a problem with my nagios 1.1 on Solaris 8 Sparc Ultra-5 : it
doesn't keep track of alerts and notifications
anyone faced this problem before? i compiled Nagios with the simplest
options (no db support) with no errors.
here is my nagios.cfg
thanks in advance for your help

# NAGIOS.CFG - Sample Main Config File for Nagios 
#
# Read the documentation for more information on this configuration 
# file.  I've provided some comments here, but things may not be so 
# clear without further explanation. 
# # Last Modified: 07-04-2002 # 
########################################################################
######


# LOG FILE
# This is the main log file where service and host events are logged 
# for historical purposes.  This should be the first option specified 
# in the config file!!!

log_file=/opt/nagios/var/status.log



# OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S)
# This is the configuration file in which you define hosts, host 
# groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc.  I guess it would 
# be better called an object definition file, but for historical 
# reasons it isn't.  You can split object definitions into several 
# different config files by using multiple cfg_file statements here. 
# Nagios will read and process all the config files you define.
# This can be very useful if you want to keep command definitions 
# separate from host and contact definitions...

# Plugin commands (service and host check commands)
# Arguments are likely to change between different releases of the 
# plugins, so you should use the same config file provided with the 
# plugin release rather than the one provided with Nagios. 
cfg_file=/opt/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg

# Misc commands (notification and event handler commands, etc) 
cfg_file=/opt/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg

# You can split other types of object definitions across several 
# config files if you wish (as done here), or keep them all in a 
# single config file.

cfg_file=/opt/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/opt/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg

cfg_file=/opt/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg



# RESOURCE FILE
# This is an optional resource file that contains $USERx$ macro 
# definitions. Multiple resource files can be specified by using 
# multiple resource_file definitions.  The CGIs will not attempt to 
# read the contents of resource files, so information that is 
# considered to be sensitive (usernames, passwords, etc) can be 
# defined as macros in this file and restrictive permissions (600) 
# can be placed on this file.

resource_file=/opt/nagios/etc/resource.cfg



# STATUS FILE
# This is where the current status of all monitored services and 
# hosts is stored.  Its contents are read and processed by the CGIs. 
# The contentsof the status file are deleted every time Nagios 
#  restarts.

status_file=/opt/nagios/var/status.log



# NAGIOS USER
# This determines the effective user that Nagios should run as.  
# You can either supply a username or a UID.

nagios_user=nagios



# NAGIOS GROUP
# This determines the effective group that Nagios should run as.  
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.

nagios_group=nagios



# EXTERNAL COMMAND OPTION
# This option allows you to specify whether or not Nagios should check 
# for external commands (in the command file defined below).  By default

# Nagios will *not* check for external commands, just to be on the 
# cautious side.  If you want to be able to use the CGI command
interface 
# you will have to enable this.  Setting this value to 0 disables
command 
# checking (the default), other values enable it.

check_external_commands=1



# EXTERNAL COMMAND CHECK INTERVAL
# This is the interval at which Nagios should check for external
commands. 
# This value works of the interval_length you specify later.  If you
leave 
# that at its default value of 60 (seconds), a value of 1 here will
cause 
# Nagios to check for external commands every minute.  If you specify a 
# number followed by an "s" (i.e. 15s), this will be interpreted to mean

# actual seconds rather than a multiple of the interval_length variable.

# Note: In addition to reading the external command file at regularly 
# scheduled intervals, Nagios will also check for external commands
after 
# event handlers are executed. 
# NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external 
# command file as often as possible.

#command_check_interval=1
#command_check_interval=15s
command_check_interval=-1



# EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE
# This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests. 
# It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are
submitted 
# by users, so it must be writeable by the user that the web server 
# is running as (usually 'nobody').  Permissions should be set at the 
# directory level instead of on the file, as the file is deleted every 
# time its contents are processed.

command_file=/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd



# COMMENT FILE
# This is the file that Nagios will use for storing host and service 
# comments.

comment_file=/opt/nagios/var/comment.log



# DOWNTIME FILE
# This is the file that Nagios will use for storing host and service 
# downtime data.

# LOCK FILE
# This is the lockfile that Nagios will use to store its PID number 
# in when it is running in daemon mode.

lock_file=/opt/nagios/var/nagios.lock



# TEMP FILE
# This is a temporary file that is used as scratch space when Nagios 
# updates the status log, cleans the comment file, etc.  This file 
# is created, used, and deleted throughout the time that Nagios is 
# running.

temp_file=/opt/nagios/var/nagios.tmp



# LOG ROTATION METHOD
# This is the log rotation method that Nagios should use to rotate 
# the main log file. Values are as follows..
#	n	= None - don't rotate the log
#	h	= Hourly rotation (top of the hour)
#	d	= Daily rotation (midnight every day)
#	w	= Weekly rotation (midnight on Saturday evening)

# NOTIFICATION LOGGING OPTION
# If you don't want notifications to be logged, set this value to 0. 
# If notifications should be logged, set the value to 1.

# INITIAL STATES LOGGING OPTION
# If you want Nagios to log all initial host and service states to 
# the main log file (the first time the service or host is checked) 
# you can enable this option by setting this value to 1.  If you 
# are not using an external application that does long term state 
# statistics reporting, you do not need to enable this option.  In 
# this case, set the value to 0.

log_initial_states=0



# EXTERNAL COMMANDS LOGGING OPTION
# If you don't want Nagios to log external commands, set this value 
# to 0.  If external commands should be logged, set this value to 1.

# GLOBAL HOST AND SERVICE EVENT HANDLERS
# These options allow you to specify a host and service event handler 
# command that is to be run for every host or service state change. 
# The global event handler is executed immediately prior to the event

# Read the HTML docs for more information.

#global_service_event_handler=somecommand



# INTER-CHECK DELAY METHOD
# This is the method that Nagios should use when initially
# "spreading out" service checks when it starts monitoring.  The 
# default is to use smart delay calculation, which will try to 
# space all service checks out evenly to minimize CPU load. 
# Using the dumb setting will cause all checks to be scheduled 
# at the same time (with no delay between them)!  This is not a 
# good thing for production, but is useful when testing the 
# parallelization functionality.
#	n	= None - don't use any delay between checks
#	d	= Use a "dumb" delay of 1 second between checks
#	s	= Use "smart" inter-check delay calculation
#       x.xx    = Use an inter-check delay of x.xx seconds

inter_check_delay_method=s



# SERVICE CHECK INTERLEAVE FACTOR
# This variable determines how service checks are interleaved. 
# Interleaving the service checks allows for a more even 
# distribution of service checks and reduced load on remote 
# hosts.  Setting this value to 1 is equivalent to how versions 
# of Nagios previous to 0.0.5 did service checks.  Set this 
# value to s (smart) for automatic calculation of the interleave 
# factor unless you have a specific reason to change it.
#       s       = Use "smart" interleave factor calculation
#       x       = Use an interleave factor of x, where x is a
#                 number greater than or equal to 1.

service_interleave_factor=s



# MAXIMUM CONCURRENT SERVICE CHECKS
# This option allows you to specify the maximum number of 
# service checks that can be run in parallel at any given time. 
# Specifying a value of 1 for this variable essentially prevents
# any service checks from being parallelized.  A value of 0 
# will not restrict the number of concurrent checks that are 
# being executed.

max_concurrent_checks=0



# SERVICE CHECK REAPER FREQUENCY
# This is the frequency (in seconds!) that Nagios will process 
# the results of services that have been checked.

service_reaper_frequency=10



# SLEEP TIME

Message-ID: <13EE4432EA827B4F97DC83F6BBA9009705EC8B@UKADEXCH01.csg.csgsystems.com>

Hi All,

This is in reply to the post with the subject: nrpe-2.04b compile error: u_int32_t. I am new to this so I havent worked out if this is the correct way to reply to a posting. 

I had the exact same problem, here is what I did to fix it:
1) in the common directory editied the file common.h Just after the first #include statement added:
typedef unsigned int u_int32_t;


2) run configure as normal
3) In the config.h file in the common directory (generated by configure) commented out the line :#define U_INT32_T_IS_ULONG 1

The compile then worked ok

(The above steps were ones I picked up from a number of different posts on the same issue)
Now my only problem is that I cant get nrpe to work using inetd on solaris 8 only as a daemon

Subject: [Nagios-devel] Configure changes to nrpe to get it to build on
Solaris 8


I'm not sure whether nrpe was expected to build on Solaris 8 or not, but it
didn't for me under the following circumstances:

    * gcc 3.2.3 as installed from the SunFreeware site

    * no other GNU tools (just Sun's make, ar, etc in /usr/ccs/bin)

    * OpenSSL in /usr/local/ssl/... (again, installed from binaries on
      SunFreeware)

I encountered the following problems:

    * There was no definition of u_int32_t - whatever was there in the
      configure script wasn't working.  I ripped out what was there and
      added a AC_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS m4 macro and associated supporting bits
      I found at


http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/htmldoc/ac_define_integer_bits.html

      This seems to be more reliable.

    * -I/usr/local/ssl/include was not included in CFLAGS.  I tweaked the
      OpenSSL detection and added -I$ssldir/include to CFLAGS if $ssldir
      wasn't /usr or /usr/local (explicitly adding /usr/include or
      /usr/local/include to include file search paths makes gcc complain).

I used autoconf 2.57 on my Mac OS X system to rebuild the configure file
then copied the generated configure file and other modified files to the
Solaris system and verified that nrpe would build on both platforms.  I also
copied the modified package over to a RH 7.3 system and verified I could
rebuild configure with autoconf (2.53 - it failed with 2.13) and
successfully configure and build the package there as well.

Attached is the context diff.

This is the scenario:

I have a computer system which needs monitoring in 2 ways (or views) -
one Oracle and one UNIX.

There may be some overlap but basically I want the Oracle group and the
UNIX group to see different things for the same remote system.

I have defined 2 separate groups but both groups end up seeing
everything.

Is there a way round this?

Subject: There's more than one way to do it: SNMP traps and Nagios (OT).
Message-ID: <20030709221919.C236@IPAustralia.Gov.AU>

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to amplify on Mr John Rouillard's recent letter about Sec
in which he remarked (in a long but interesting and useful letter),

'Using sec to process traps (or other passive checks) is straight
forward.'

Indeed it is, and for the benefit of those born again trap users I will
share my experience of using Sec (http://www.estpak.ee/~risto/sec/) as
an alternative to employing discrete trap handlers as described in the
Nagios documentation ('Integration With Other Software'/SNMP traps).

Sec responds to events in an input stream, often a log file. Events are
text substrings or Patterns reporting the events occurrence.

The Net-SNMP projects snmptrapd can be made to log the fully decoded
trap and this is a natural event stream for Sec to process.

Whereas using discrete trap handlers requires

. tight coupling between the Nag config (service_description, host_name
and the status processing), the snmptrapd.conf and the trap handler

. a proliferation of trap handlers that are perhaps written in a
language that is hard to maintain (such as /bin/sh)

. acceptance of the trap handlers role as being forked by snmptrapd and
probably not being able to retain state between invocations

. willingness to get down and dirty with SNMP. Reading MIBs and using
the snmp tools (snmptranslate and snmptrap) are mandatory as are
alternatives such as Net::SNMP

(In my experience anyway), 

Sec provides 'Event Correlation' that is able to 

. suppress event pairs (eg if down/up) that occur within a time window

. suppressing repeated events (eg a cascasde of traps)

. sense and update context (context is completely user defined and may
be a calendar event or a particular FTP session). Context is then used
to further filter the Sec rules.

and other similar features.

A Sec confguration is largely declarative but allows the application to
perform some processing with ad-hoc Perl.

Since traps are detected by Sec using patterns or substrings, one can
remain blissfully ignorant of what number the trap is and what varbinds
are sent with it. In fact, being able to get MIBS installed is the only
SNMP pre-req (and to do this you will probably have to either outsource
it or the aformentioned D&D).

Here's some examples of a Sec rule from my second rate Sec.Conf

type=Single
ptype=RegExp
pattern=\]: (\S+?): .+?frDLCIStatusChange\) .+?frCircuitDlci\.\d+\.\d+ =
(\d+),.+?frCircuitState\.\d+\.\d+ = (\w+)\(
desc=Frame relay PVC state change
action=         \
  assign %i $1; \
  assign %c $2; \
  assign %d $3; \
  eval   %o ( '%d' eq 'active'   ? 'Ok. Frame relay PVC %c has changed
state to %d.'     : \
              '%d' eq 'inactive' ? 'Failed. Frame relay PVC %c has
changed state to %d.' : \
              '%d' eq 'invalid'  ? 'Failed. Frame relay PVC %c has
changed state to %d.' : \
                                      'Unknown. Frame relay PVC %c has
changed state to %d.' ); \
  eval   %d ( '%d' eq 'active'   ? 0 :             \
              '%d' eq 'inactive' ? 2 :             \
              '%d' eq 'invalid'  ? 2 :             \
                                        3 );            \
  eval   %h ( require '/usr/local/nagios/etc/alarm_hostnames.pl' unless
\
                            defined $ip2NagName{'%i'};          \
                   $ip2NagName{'%i'} );                         \
  write  /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd ([%u]
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;%h;%s;%d;%o)
  # write  - ([%u] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;%h;%s;%d;%o)

This matches Frame relay DLCI status changes traps against the Pattern,
setting $1, $2 and $3 (the sender_ip, the DLCI and the PVC state).

It then stores the matching strings in Sec variables (%i, %c, ..) and
decodes the output it will return to Nagios (eval %o) and the return
code (%d).

It also works out the Nagios host name (%h) from a Perl hash that maps
the sender_ip (in %i) to the Nagios host_name directive (known apriori).

Finally it forms the Nag PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT command and writes
it to the queue.

Finally, Sec is actively developed, beautifully documented, powerful and
efficient.

It has a number of maintenance and debug friendly features that include
a ruletest option, writing output to STDOUT (to help ensure the patterns
match) and probably most helpful of all, accepting any input stream
(STDIN).

This latter facility means that one doesn't have to with varying degrees
of success, synthesise traps. The Sec rules can be tested agains logged
traps in snmptrapd's log with tail or grep.

Yours sincerely.

Message-ID: <0775BCFF0720BB498E1101F188378CF9849B9B@mail.axen.be>

I first installed nagios as a directory of my main webiste, you could
access the web-based interface via http://www.xx.ext/nagios and thus, I
left the url_html_path with its default (/nagios).

But now, I want to install nagios on it's own virtual host. However,
after changing this parameter to "/", I noticed that links in the CGI
interface were not modified, they still contained "/nagios".

Is this option ignored ? Is there a cache somewhere for this option ? Is
this a bug ?

Thanks.

The standard Win2k SNMP stack supports hostmib, which contains
processor stats (hrDeviceTable), memory usage (only valid under 2G
limit), disk stats (hrStorageTable), and running programs
(hrSWRunTable).

My suggestion is that you setup a Win2k box with the standard SNMP
stack from MS, then perform the following...

$ snmpwalk -mHOST-RESOURCES-MIB yourhost yourcommunity | less -S

Scroll through it and read, most of the hostmib data will be towards
the end, past the mib-2 network information.

I use Cricket to gather this SNMP data to trend performance
information. In fact, the Cricket team just posted my Win2k
performance config tree on the contributions site. Its for Win2k with
standard SNMP and the SNMP4W2K addon. I'll make another soon for
standard SNMP.

Subject: check-host-alive doesn't work for 2 devices
Message-ID: <06a301c3462a$9eedc820$c800a8c0@mediamogul>

Hi,
I have the following host definitions in my hosts.cfg and for some reason it
maintains a PENDING status for these 2 hosts while it has worked perfectly
for the other 17 host definitions I have in hosts.cfg. I cut and pasted the
definitions from working ones to minimise syntax error.
# 'esr1' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
template to use

        host_name               esr1
        alias                   Marconi ESR Layer 3 switch
        address                 172.16.8.5
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }

I did a
nagios:/usr/local/nagios/etc# ../libexec/check_ping -H 172.16.8.5 -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.30 ms

for the hosts in question and it obviously works.
The hosts are switches as noted above - that shouldn't make any difference,
right?

any ideas?

Hi,
Replying to my own query, I found a silly workaround for this problem.
Add a service (fictional or otherwise - my ESR switches don't have any
services on them) for the host and suddenly it starts to do the
check-host-alive check and comes up fine.

Now I have a service that needs to be disabled for it to work!

Subject: logging?
Message-ID: <1057765482.23332.39.camel@tesuji.nac.uci.edu>


We have a central loghost which has been trucking along ok for some
time.

Recently, it's started getting so much log data that a log file hits the
2G limit before a day is over, and is filling up the syslog disk.  The
filesystem for the log data is ext2.

Not to assign blame (it's not nagios fault), but I think this is related
to all the:

1) tcpd log messages nagios is generating on remote hosts
2) xinetd log messages nagios is generating on remote hosts
3) identd log messages the remote hosts are generating on the nagios
host (under unique pids, no less).

Has anyone else been confronted by this sort of problem before?  How did
you handle it?

Or alternatively, how would you handle it?  Decrease the frequency of
checks?  Turn off logging of the nagios host in tcpd and xinetd?  Turn
off identd on the nagios host?

I'm all ears.  :)

Hi, I'm having the organizational issue of all of my systems being monitored are shown as hosts.  How am I able to specify a "host" and "client" in my configuartion files so that my systems being monitored will be shown correctly.

Hi Ethan

	I compiled and installed it succesfully in the following
plattforms (solaris 8 and 9):

SunOS e450 5.8 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4
SunOS e250 5.8 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
SunOS v480 5.9 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R


Just in case it were an unwanted effect, I noticed that inetd.conf syntax 
has changed (dont work with "--inetd"): 

	.../nrpe -- -c /etc/nrpe.cfg -i
instead of
	.../nrpe -- -c /etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd


Thank you,
	Jordi Vidal

Hail!

 I?m new in this list and my first doubt is:
How do i configure may nagios server to monitoring my AS/400 servers?
I need information about CPU Load, Disk Usage, Uptime, etc, as same the nsclient do in Windows server. If it?s not possible, i will configure teh nagios host to check trivial tcp services in my AS/400 server.
Excuseme for my bad english.
Thanks!

Vincent,

I run multiple Nagios instances on the same box. To get this to work, I have had to recompile the cgis for each instance.

Here is what I do;

in the root of the source directory

	make clean
	./configure --prefix=<path to nagios dir> --with-cgiurl=/<nagiosurl>/cgi-bin --with-htmurl=/<nagiosurl>
	cd cgi directory
	make all
	make install

Note, make sure you are in the cgi directory when you make install. If not, you will reinstall the binary, var, and share directories also. One other thing you might have to check are the main.html, index.html or side.html in the share directory. I don't use the original ones, so I'm not sure if you have to edit them.

Good luck

Subject: [Nagios-users] url_html_path option ignored


I first installed nagios as a directory of my main webiste, you could
access the web-based interface via http://www.xx.ext/nagios and thus, I
left the url_html_path with its default (/nagios).

But now, I want to install nagios on it's own virtual host. However,
after changing this parameter to "/", I noticed that links in the CGI
interface were not modified, they still contained "/nagios".

Is this option ignored ? Is there a cache somewhere for this option ? Is
this a bug ?

Thanks.

Nothing, I don't think.  I posted a fix for configure.in to the nagios-devel
list recently.  You can pick them up here:

    http://www.musi-cal.com/~skip/nrpe.diff

You'll need a recent version of autoconf to rebuild the configure file.  If
you don't have one available, let me know and I'll toss the configure file
out there as well.

Hi,

I use a product (freeware) called procmon: http://www.ncomtech.com/download.htm

When a given process is not running, a trap is sent out.

 From there, on my nagios server, I use snmptrapd/passive check as per Nagios Doc.

Works like a charm.

For the people who will at some point undoubtedly search the nagios mailing
list for an answer to the same question:

Solution: I pronounce Nagios as:

 nah-ghee-ose

 At least I think that's how I pronounce it (damn phonetic spelling)... The
"Na" sounds like "Nah", "gi" sounds like the first
    part of "geese", and "os" sounds like the last part of "verbose". You
can pronounce it however the heck you'd like.

 Alternative pronounciations vary. One that I liked is "nachos". Mmmmmm....
nachos.

Subject: Request For Comments: NWPE - Nagios Web Plugin Executor
Message-ID: <F63694D14D538A4CB8DA5DAB5215A11C053D83CA@cookiemonster.ivillage.net>

Dear Nagios Community,

I'm considering making a project that I'm working on for my employer open
source. They are o.k. with the concept of open source licensing (otherwise I
wouldn't be writing this email). However, before putting the extra effort in
to "clean it up for public consumption", I want to poll the community to see
if there's any interest.

Project:
NWPE: Nagios Web Plugin Executor
Execute service checks remotely, using HTTP[S] as a transport protocol, and
a thin wrapper around CGI as a service check API.
It functions similar to nrpe with the benefit of possibly improving the
performance of perl scripts for service checks (when using apache/mod_perl).

History:
For a home-grown monitoring system, I decided I wanted to go with SNMPv3
agents. The main reason were the authentication and encryption aspects. So,
I created a nice Solaris package of net-snmpd 5.0.7 and was very happy with
it. I am using Nagios to poll all of my servers w/agents. At the time,
SNMPv3 support had not been integrated into check_snmp, so I ventured into
coding my own plugins. Using perl with Net::SNMP was the right solution. One
major advantage my scripts have over check_snmp/snmpget is that I can
retrieve an entire MIB table and reference objects by their description
field (ie: from the hrStorageTable use htStorageDescr to determine the index
into hrStorageUsed/hrStorageSize) and have the script be automatically
flexible when new items are added (ie: additional partitions are mounted,
etc.). So far, I've had miserable success with embedded Perl Nagios (ePN).
It leaks memory like mad (I have to restart at LEAST once a day) and the
number of service checks (1400+) is totally overwhelming my poor UltraII. So
I cooked up an alternative...

Functionality:
A small C program 'nwpe' is called from a Nagios command
(checkcommands.cfg). It is small, and strongly leverages libcurl
(http://curl.sourceforge.net/libcurl/) to connect (via HTTP or HTTPS) and
optionally authenticate to a webserver. An example usage would be:

./nwpe -U https://servicechecker.nagios.org/svc/check_remote_disk -a
"args=--hostname=webserver1 --path=/usr --warning=20% --critical=10%" -u
nagios -p checkITout

"check_remote_disk" is a CGI script written in perl. In my case the
webserver is running mod_perl. It uses Net::SNMP and other perl modules to
perform it's service check. It also invokes a custom perl module I have
written, NWPE (which will hopefully become Nagios::NWPE) that does the
following:

a) parses the POST/GET "args" field with a CGI object into @ARGV for parsing
by Getopt::Long
b) redirects STDOUT to an IO::String to capture all output from the plugin
c) sets the appropriate return value for the state of the service check
(OK/WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN) in the HTTP Header field "Return-state:"
d) prints the 'cached' output of the plugin on the real STDOUT with
mime-type "text/plain"

Essentially, the NWPE module makes it relatively painless to convert command
line service checks written in perl to CGI/mod_perl service checks.

Finally, after the service check has return the data, the 'nwpe' C program
prints the output of the request on STDOUT and returns the appropriate value
(Return-state:) to Nagios.

Reasoning:
The 'nwpe' system creates:
1) Additional flexibility - any scripting language that can be run from a
webserver (perl/mod_perl/asp/jsp) can be used as a service check
2) Additional scalability - allows you to deploy multiple service check
webservers just about anywhere on any network and leverage HTTP load-balance
technology (Cisco LocalDirector, BigIP, etc.) to distribute the load of
running service checks.
3) Additional performance - using mod_perl to speed up normally slow perl
service check execution
4) Additional security - access to service checks can be authenticated &
encrypted, and use any other access control mechanisms your favorite
webserver provides.

When using nwpe with apache/mod_perl, I see it as combining the best of nrpe
and ePN.

Downsides:
1) I have not integrated performance data into NWPE. However, I suspect it
could easily be added as an additional HTTP Header or something similar
(I've not done any performance data work with Nagios whatsoever).
2) the NWPE perl module is currently rough around the edges. Very rough.
It's the first serious perl module I've written (and bares a striking
resemblance to the stuff in perlboot, perltoot and perlobj).
3) While SSL has been integrated into libcurl for sometime, HTTP
authentication is only part of the 7.10.6 pre-release and I couldn't get
pre3 to work (but pre2 works like a champ). This might make compiling nwpe a
little hairy.
4) nwpe has not been setup with autoconf yet. It's features are slim.

If there's a decent amount of positive response, I will try to see if I
carve out some time to setup a site for NWPE development.

Thanks,
--Tony

Hi,

error. It happens the same from de localhost and from a remote client. 
Other plugins (check_load) works ok trought nrpe and the plugin 
(check_mailq) works ok if issued directly: 

mailserver$ ./check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_load
OK - load average: 0.80, 0.55, 0.63

mailserver$ ./check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_mailq
CHECK_NRPE: Response packet had invalid CRC32.

mailserver$ ./check_mailq -w 10 -c 100 -t 10
OK: mailq is empty | mailq = 0

Message-ID: <54937.63.102.39.70.1057774541.squirrel@www.atcomputerconsulting.com>

Hey Gang,

I am no programmer and I am stuck on how to verify if my SNPP (Using
sendpage) is up and functional.

I have a port 444 check going, but the port might be open, but the daemon
might be hung.

I've been looking at some of the other shell scripts to see how I might do
this check, but it's just over my head writing my own plugin at the
moment.

Looking at the perl scripts makes my eyes roll into the back of my head so
that's not much help either.

Can anybody help me out in creating a simple plugin in bash or perl to
perform this check.

I'm running on rh7.3 if that changes how this works any.

Thanks a ton!
Andy

Message-ID: <876D16A9E7213C49BC987B31CFB7E47444593B@mailnyc2.sbicorp.com>

Hello.

We have a number of offices linked together with VPNs.  The VPNs are
running Checkpoint.  We have one nagios server in one office that
monitors all servers in all offices.  The VPN is a full mesh.  We would
like to monitor the links between all offices through Nagios.  I am
wondering if anyone has done this (I am trying not to reinvent the
wheel) either specifically for checkpoint or vpns in general.  I can
obviously monitor the links between the one office that nagios is in and
all the others, but there is no obvious way to monitor connectivity
between other offices without setting up remote host pings or something
of that sort.

Any suggestions are very welcomed.

Thank you.
Dan

Don't feel bad, I did the same thing some time back (after several people I 
work with asked the same question and couldn't find it in the docs/faq).  While 
it *is* in the FAQ, it's almost impossible to find as it's buried in an odd place.

I can't find it, nor can I get to the mailing lists on sourceforge.

I would like to setup hostextinfo. I have used convertcfg to generate a

file, the syntax seems quite a bit different than the file that was

Can I use an external file (hostextinfo.cfg) for this purpose, or do I

Any assistance is appreciated, thanks in advance,

Anybody have a check_tftp module laying around?  I'll start hacking on
my own, but just want to make sure that someone else hasn't coded one up
already. 

TIA,

You want to make sure that one office can see the other office without
necessarly going through the central point where your nagios server is?

Wouldn't it make sense that if you could ping them they could ping each
other? unless of course a route went down.

You could burn up an ip at each location and make static routes to each.

so if your network looks like this

               [office 2]    [office 3]  
                   \         /        \
                  [your office]      [office 4]
                    /       
                [office 5]


you could just make a static route on your nagios server that points to
an ip at office 2 then have the nagios server ip on the system at office
routed staticly to an ip at office3 which is routed to office 4 which is
routed to office 5 and routed back to your office.  

This would be tricky, _if_ it even worked, but basically you could then
send a ping to an office 2 machine and it would come back through office
5.  So if you got the response all your links are working.

I've seen similar things happen on broken networks, but I've never tried
something like this on purpose.

Hi...

Right... Any two offices have independent VPN connections to each
other...

What you describe seems overy complicated though.. I think maybe an easy
approach would be to setup a ping service at office A that ping
something at Office B.  (Let's say nagios is on office C).  And if that
ping works, then the link between A and B is ok.

I was sort of hoping for a check_checkpoint plugin that is capable of
talking to a checkpoint firewall directly... 

Thanks..

Dan

I can't seem to find this answer to this in the docs, but if it's in there,
point me to it.

On the Nagios alert emails that I receive, I need to change the From:
address. Currently it's being sent as nagios@[localhost].geo-synthetics.com,
where I need the From: address to simply be nagios at geo-synthetics.com -
where / how can I change that?

(Reason being that one of the destination SMS gateways doesn't take mail
from invalid domains and I don't want to expose the name of the internal
host...)

Thanks!

If you can script it, it can be plugged into Nagios.

My knowledge of accessing a CP FW is slim to none (and Slim just
left the building).  However, if there is some way of getting into
it remotely (eg, ssh session), and if there's a way to issue a
CP FW command to make the necessary queries, then it stands to
reason that you could write a Nagios plugin script to gather
and report as required.

Food for thought.

That's strange, I have never seen something like that happened in Nagios 
before. What do you mean when you said the status is critical? Are you 
referring to host or service status? Maybe you can show us more details.

Subject: Jabber notification
Message-ID: <6E27DC50E19EC641A60B5AD65594702D3F1437@bna1pxch01.accredo.acdo>

I was wondering if anyone had gotten the jaber notification to work and
could provide me a little insite into configureing this.

I got the jabber script here
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=50
<http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=50>   and configured it.

Installed the appropriate jabber perl mods to allow sending via the script
alone etc:

[nagios at nagios etc]# ./jabber
Usage...
 notify [jabberid] [message]

Then modified miscommands.cfg as follows according to the jabber script


# 'notify-by-jabber' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-jabber
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/etc/jabber user at localhost
"**$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$
**" $CONT
ACTEMAIL$"
        }

Added a line to contacts.cfg for notify-by-jabber to see if it would send,
so far nothing.  No errors as far as I can see.

Any suggestions or clarifications would be greatly appreciated.
 
Tom

It's always an ugly hack, but one can do just about anything with "expect". 
I'd suggest using ssh keys tho, rather than putting your ssh password in 
cleartext in the scriptfile.

Never found anything expect won't work with, never found anything expect is 
my first choice for ;)

Well I might have figured out how to change it, if I can figure out how to
assign the variables in the miscommands.cfg file
There is a section labeled $CONTACTMAIL$ which sends the email, and I am
guessing it gets this from the email section In the contacts.cfg file, but
how do you assign this variable to $CONTACTMAIL$?

Thanks.

I've not used jabber before but is user at localhost a valid jabberid? Also, according to your ./jabber output below there appears to be a 'notify' command line option that is required. Is that the case? Your command definition should match exactly how you would execute it from a command line...

Subject: [Nagios-users] Jabber notification

I was wondering if anyone had gotten the jaber notification to work and could provide me a little insite into configureing this.

I got the jabber script here  <http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=50> http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=50  and configured it. 

Installed the appropriate jabber perl mods to allow sending via the script alone etc: 

[nagios at nagios etc]# ./jabber 
Usage... 
 notify [jabberid] [message] 

Then modified miscommands.cfg as follows according to the jabber script 


# 'notify-by-jabber' command definition 
define command{ 
        command_name    notify-by-jabber 
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/etc/jabber user at localhost "**$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONT

ACTEMAIL$" 
        } 

Added a line to contacts.cfg for notify-by-jabber to see if it would send, so far nothing.  No errors as far as I can see.

Any suggestions or clarifications would be greatly appreciated.

As a security person, this makes me shudder.

Remember, this is your firewall.  

I won't tell you how to manage your security devices, but the concept of
allowing automated, non-passworded (or passphrased) access to a firewall
scares the bejesus out of me.  I would aruge, with respect to the
requester's experience and knowledge, that it's a Bad Idea.

If you *are* going to do that, for God's sake, make sure that the SSH key
is only authorized for the very minimal actions that you need to monitor
the system -- in other words, you shouldn't just SSH and run some commands
-- you should 'ssh user at fw <command>' and make sure that the SSH key ONLY
allows you to run <command>.

Try this:

# 'notify-by-jabber' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-jabber
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "Service: $SERVICEDESC$, Host:
$HOSTNAME$, State: $SERVICESTATE$, Date: $DATETIME$" |
/usr/local/nagios/notify-by-
jabber.pl
        }

Do NOT try this:
# 'notify-by-jabber' command definition
define command{
       command_name    notify-by-jabber
       command_line    /usr/bin/printf "Service: $SERVICEDESC$, Host:
$HOSTNAME$, State: $SERVICESTATE$, Info: $OUTPUT$, Date: $DATETIME$" |
/usr/local/nagios/notify-by-jabber.pl
       }

I had the same problem a few months ago. Rebuilding everything in site;
hacking everything that could log output to a file. Note the difference;
the first command definition has removed the "Info: $OUTPUT$" being passed
to the notify-by-jabber.pl script. Turned out there is a "%", ":",";",
or some character that was screwing up the notify-by-jabber.pl script.
Sorry, but am at home right now and don't which character was the problem
but I just about "lost it" trying to find this problem( I don't sound
like I am on a rant or anything do I?).

At any rate, would be glad to converse with anyone/everyone about the
possiblities of integrating jabber with nagios; and for that matter
with swatch and other tools we run here. We have a nagios server that
sends notifications to everyone logged in to the jabber server. People
in the NOC seem to think its great, and want the jabber server tied to
everything we run. To be honest; I kind of like the idea too.

Would be glad to swap scripts; nagios, jabbber or otherwise; with anyone
interested. A word or warning though; what I write ain't pretty but it
usually gets the job done. Never been a good programmer and would starve
to death if I had to make a living cranking out lines of code.

				Hope this helps,
					Fred

How about if you use a good security model, and aproach it from that POV.

The secure object (the firewall) shouldn't be regularly accepting commands,
so instead it pushes its status and performance information to a collector
machine (cricket comes to mind).  A cron job on the firewall runs a command
that scp's the performance data (bandwidth, cpu, vpn load, vpn status, etc)
to the collector machine.  The machine then crunches the incoming data,
creating nice little RRDtool Graphs.  And, submit the VPN status piece of
info as a passive check to nagios (check if it's fresh too).

Poppin' fresh links!  Yum!

Subject: Newbie questions
Message-ID: <20030710050923.58259.qmail@web21406.mail.yahoo.com>

1) CGI authentication problem

If I turn on the use_authentication=1, then I can't
see the service detail page or hosts detail page. It
returns message: "It appears as through you do not
have permissions to view info for any of the services
you requested..". I checked all the cgi-bin configs in
httpd.conf and they are matching the entries suggested
in Doc. I tried running apache with either
nobody:nobody and nagois:nagios, same result. On the
other hand, I start nagios with nagios:nagios in both
cases. Is there anything else I can check. I also
installed nagios with the nagios user and group. If I
disable authentication, I see all pages.

2) I got "Invalid HTTP response from host on port
443"?

I added another entry in checkcommands.cfg with the
check_https definition, what it does is "check_http -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -p 443". Is this done properly? I'm
checking a customized jakarta server that serves PS2
clients, it does not serve web pages. There is nothing
wrong with the service. It's serving PS2 clients
properly.

Thanks for your help in advance.

P.S. If you would, please respond back to this email
address.

Eric.

Hi Chris,

have you tried to reduce the Zoom level on the top of the graph?

I'm not experiencing the cut off as you stated.

At which resolution the image is being generated?

Actually I have 4212x2424 pixels.

Subject: Host Depend: notification_failure_criteria d,u,o
Message-ID: <63AAC79ACC12D311B1100060081EF9E704FE6201@ionanrmail1.iona.edu>

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with host dependency.  Lets say I have this defined
in the hostdepend.cfg:

# 'ROCKLAND-AP-01
define hostdependency{
	dependent_host_name	ROCKLAND-AP-01
	host_name			Alcatel-ROCKLAND-SWITCH
	notification_failure_criteria d,u
}

# 'ROCKLAND-AP-02'
define hostdependency{
	dependent_host_name	ROCKLAND-AP-02
	host_name			Alcatel-ROCKLAND-SWITCH
	notification_failure_criteria d,u
}

# 'ROCKLAND-AP-03'
define hostdependency{
	dependent_host_name	ROCKLAND-AP-03
	host_name			Alcatel-ROCKLAND-SWITCH
	notification_failure_criteria d,u
}

# 'ROCKLAND-AP-04'
define hostdependency{
	dependent_host_name	ROCKLAND-AP-04
	host_name			Alcatel-ROCKLAND-SWITCH
	notification_failure_criteria d,u
}

If the Alcatel-ROCKLAND-SWITCH goes down, I get a notification for the
switch but NOT these 4 access points, which is fine.  But when the
switch comes back up, I get a notification for the switch and all the
access points.

If I add: notification_failure_criteria d,u,o
Then I DO NOT get notified if a single access point goes down.

Is there anyway I can configure this so that if a parent goes down, send
out notifications only about the parent and if an access point goes
down, send out notification only for that child?

Thanks,
Joe

I am having a mental block.....I have nagios running in production just
fine.  The problem is with my development server.  I recompiled Nagios
and now it will not accept the definition "hostextinfo".  Nagios was
compiled --with-template-extinfo.  I've added the
"xedtemplate_config_file" setting in the cgi.cfg file.  Here is my
hostextinfo settings.......(same as production)......

define hostextinfo{
        host_name        server_name
        notes_url
http://server.site.edu/nodes2.pl?QUERY_STRING=server_name
        icon_image
        statusmap_image
        }


This is what I get when I verify the config.......

         Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid

previous
         version of Nagios, you should be aware that some
variables/definitions
         may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to
read
         the HTML documentation on the main and host config files, as well
as the
         'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.


Does anyone know what I am missing?

Thanks for any help,

That's strange, I have never seen something like that happened in Nagios
before. What do you mean when you said the status is critical? Are you
referring to host or service status? Maybe you can show us more details.

Under Solaris's mailx the -r option allows you to

Hi

Sorry for the late reponse, woke up late.. heehee. Hmm. I would think most 
likely, you have set the host to "assumed to be up" this happens when there 
isnt a valid host check_command in your host definition template. Or either 
the network connectivity is just really bad with high ms but the host is 
still up. Thresholds for ping service should be set realistically depending 
on the physical distance from your monitoring server to that "monitor1" host. 

Cheers,
Jasmine

Try this:

Do NOT try this:
# 'notify-by-jabber' command definition
define command{
       command_name    notify-by-jabber

/usr/local/nagios/notify-by-jabber.pl
       }

I had the same problem a few months ago. Rebuilding everything in site;
hacking everything that could log output to a file. Note the difference; the
first command definition has removed the "Info: $OUTPUT$" being passed to
the notify-by-jabber.pl script. Turned out there is a "%", ":",";", or some
character that was screwing up the notify-by-jabber.pl script. Sorry, but am
at home right now and don't which character was the problem but I just about
"lost it" trying to find this problem( I don't sound like I am on a rant or
anything do I?).

At any rate, would be glad to converse with anyone/everyone about the
possiblities of integrating jabber with nagios; and for that matter with
swatch and other tools we run here. We have a nagios server that sends
notifications to everyone logged in to the jabber server. People in the NOC
seem to think its great, and want the jabber server tied to everything we
run. To be honest; I kind of like the idea too.

Would be glad to swap scripts; nagios, jabbber or otherwise; with anyone
interested. A word or warning though; what I write ain't pretty but it
usually gets the job done. Never been a good programmer and would starve to
death if I had to make a living cranking out lines of code.

				Hope this helps,
					Fred

I'm responding to this off of the digest-hope this looks right.  CP has some
SNMP support, have you checked that for values that you could query for up
status or packet counts something that will change only if the link is up?
Whether SNMP on your firewall is a good idea or not is a different question.
Let us know how you solve this.

As a security person, this makes me shudder.

Remember, this is your firewall.  

I won't tell you how to manage your security devices, but the concept of
allowing automated, non-passworded (or passphrased) access to a firewall
scares the bejesus out of me.  I would aruge, with respect to the
requester's experience and knowledge, that it's a Bad Idea.

If you *are* going to do that, for God's sake, make sure that the SSH key
is only authorized for the very minimal actions that you need to monitor
the system -- in other words, you shouldn't just SSH and run some commands
-- you should 'ssh user at fw <command>' and make sure that the SSH key ONLY
allows you to run <command>.

This isn't a Nagios issue as much as it's an MTA issue.  You
basically need to tweak your MTA (eg, Sendmail, Postfix,
whatever it is that you're using).

If this sounds like a huge pile of grief, you might want to
read this FAQ.  Don't let the description send you off in a
ditch; you basically want your MTA to do this address
massaging for you.

Hi ALL,

Is there any way to detect, with Nagios or some plugin, when a new host (noteook, PC, etc.) is connected to my network? Something like automatic discover.

Thank you!

I think an even better idea is to use machines that are behind the
firewalls if you are going to do that... Since you just need to test the
link, it's often better to test it from behind...

Short answer, it's hardcoded in the notify-by-jabber.pl script. For the
long asnwer see my script included below. I didn't write this script;
only modified it to suit my needs here. My script sends this to
everyone who is logged into the jabber server via the motd. Rather
crude; wouldn't mind other suggestions/improvements; but it works
OK.

BTW, was your problem getting the notifications to jabber the same
as the ones I first had; or something different? Just curious. Would
rather fix the script than have to omit the variable being passed to
the script ,if possible.

What I would REALLY love, is to have a seperate conference room on
the jabber server; one for nagios notifications, one for swatch scrubbed
syslog messages; etc. Problem is (which gets back to my programming
ability) not sure how to modify the notify-by-jabber.pl AND the
jabber server to do this.

You can probably use something like arpwatch to detect new equipment
being added to your network.  Been awhile since I played with that
package but I think you could extract the information from one of the
log files.  One issue, depending on your network setup, if you have a
switched network you may have to configure the port that connects to
your monitoring system to mirror all the other ports on your
switch/network.  If you are using old hubs only that will not be an
issue.

Auto-Replying myself ...

	The error was due dir permissions of /var/spool/mqueue (700). 
Setting it to 750  owner root, group nagios did the trick

Subject: Monitor Checkpoint VPN links
Message-ID: <F79E43BA04BBE44E8D4FDFB4256C292A19E544@corpatlex01.corp.promisant.com>

My $0.02 :

Experience based off of FW-1 4.1 and VPN setups via IPsec. SNMP
capabilities of FW-1 are limited to high level packet counts for
enforcement points, etc. Not really of use for ensuring site A to site B
access.

If everything is being sent to a central management server, you could
parse the log files looking for bad SA setups, timeouts etc. Once again,
if some sites on the VPN don't communicate regularly, this may not find
it.

The only solution I see would be to actually pass traffic from each site
to all other sites. Maybe through the use of NRPE/NCSA and a plugin on a
server in each site (that can ICMP and is allowed to communicate to the
other sites).


For example, fully meshed network of sites A, B, C, and D with Nagios
running at site A, and accessible servers at B, C, and D. Traffic checks
would be for:

>From     To
A        B C D
B        A C D
C        A B D
D        A B C

Site A is easy, Nagios can ping devices in B, C, and D. On the server at
the other sites, create a plugin that pings the remote sites and returns
OK is all is good, else WARNING or CRITICAL if there is a problem.

Additional work and resources required to set it up, but in the end, the
only way to know if an VPN tunnel is up and operational is to push some
traffic across it (or wait for the complaints to come in).

HTH,

--- Gavin

It doesn't seem to do it _every_ day, but 98% of the time. The only
reference I can find related to this is this FAQ:
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=93&expand=false&showdesc=t
rue

It doesn't seem to apply as I'm not running NTP, nor do I have any
indications of a significant time jump on the machine that occurs on a
daily basis. I'm currently running 1.0b3 on this machine and don't see
any changes in CVS that aren't related to the 2.0 stuff that might be
applicable.

Does anybody have any thoughts?

We were thinking the same thing (without the need for the mesh though).
We would like to monitor firewalls that we may manage, but not own nor
would we own any of the devices behind that firewall. The solution we're
looking at is using a Soekris box (http://www.soekris.com) running
FreeBSD, NRPE and check_http or something behind the firewall to verify
traffic goes both in and out. It would be a simple matter to set up the
above mentioned mesh if you had one of these devices at each location. I
guess it all boils down to how confident you want to be that the
firewall is truly working as expected.

I'm working on our first installation and just encountered and fixed the
problem. You can only see system information if you're the support
person. Farther down in cgi.cfg (after the use_authentication section)
are 4 or 5 entries that let all identified users view specific
information.

As a test, what happens when you telnet to port 443 on the system? Does
it respond as if there's a web server?

Hi

Need some help here please. I have a strange problem. One particular passive

Current Status:  UNKNOWN  (Has been acknowledged)

It just occurred suddenly and this service used to be working before. The

I copied my Netsaint install from one system to a newer one, went from RH 7.2 to RH 8 and now the check_ping service does not work correctly.  All I get is the actual ping command in service status window.  I have updated to the latest Nagios check_ping plugin and even copied /bin/ping from a RH 7.2 system, nothing seems to help.  Running check_ping by hand returns correctly, but not when Netsaint runs.  I put /bin/echo in front of the check_ping command in commands.cfg, running the output from that even returns correct.   ARG !!!! What am I doing wrong?  Please help.

su nagios and executing the command will prove that you have a

Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Monitor Checkpoint VPN links

My $0.02 :

Experience based off of FW-1 4.1 and VPN setups via IPsec. SNMP capabilities
of FW-1 are limited to high level packet counts for enforcement points, etc.
Not really of use for ensuring site A to site B access.

If everything is being sent to a central management server, you could parse
the log files looking for bad SA setups, timeouts etc. Once again, if some
sites on the VPN don't communicate regularly, this may not find it.

The only solution I see would be to actually pass traffic from each site to
all other sites. Maybe through the use of NRPE/NCSA and a plugin on a server
in each site (that can ICMP and is allowed to communicate to the other
sites).


For example, fully meshed network of sites A, B, C, and D with Nagios
running at site A, and accessible servers at B, C, and D. Traffic checks
would be for:

>From     To
A        B C D
B        A C D
C        A B D
D        A B C

Site A is easy, Nagios can ping devices in B, C, and D. On the server at the
other sites, create a plugin that pings the remote sites and returns OK is
all is good, else WARNING or CRITICAL if there is a problem.

Additional work and resources required to set it up, but in the end, the
only way to know if an VPN tunnel is up and operational is to push some
traffic across it (or wait for the complaints to come in).

HTH,

--- Gavin

Message-ID: <F6FB416CCEA52444BE08B85A0A67655602E17F@komod.gsi-kc.com>

Hi,

For some reason half the queue is working normally, but about half the queue is not updating. It's last check time and next check time are both shortly after the last time nagios was restarted. The other half of the queue works normally. 

I've made sure there are no duplicate nagios main processes running. 3 times now I've totally stopped it, waited, checked for nagios's still running, then started again when there were none for sure... and this same thing keeps happening.

When I ps -ax there are a lot of nagios processes running, as many as I'd normally see... nothing in the logs seems to be out of place as far as I can tell.

Any ideas? Maybe reinstall Nagios? (using v1.1) ... checked the FAQ but didn't see anything similar.

Thanks
Jeremy

Message-ID: <E19aosv-0001Wz-00@sc8-sf-list1.sourceforge.net>

Hi everyone,

	Will extended host info be checked in the pre-flight checks? Here's
what I'm doing, as well as the output. Reason I'm asking is because I still
can't get the extended host status going (after a fresh FreeBSD4.8 install,
cvsup'd the ports collection, and installed it from there) If anyone has
installed nagios 1.1 on FreeBSD, and has extended host info running
successfully, please email me!

You must be sure your webserver checks authentication. After you have
correctly provided your password to the webserver, it will set a CGI
variable that nagios uses to determin wheter you are among the users
that should be able to see the object requested.

I think you want '--ssl' (which will default to port 443 BTW)

You are asking to use port 443, but not telling the plugin tha the data
should be encrypted.

Check_host_alive is a command definition (see checkcommands.cfg)

But I don't see how this is realted to your problem. From what I see,
the PING service on that host is what is critical. You did not provide
the service definition, but I assume that the the second arg to the
service is less than 637.

This is telling your there is some latency - either the network is slow,
or the servis is bogged down and cannot respond quicky (or is sleeping
and does not wake up fast enough).

I assume this is from /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all or
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=monitor1? It seems to me you are looking
at a critical service status, not host down report.

that this, as you say, demonstrates the case for Nagios being able to 
provide better event correlation than it does now. 

However, please would you spell what events and their origin are 
correlated by Sec to avoid spurious alarms in these cases - especially 
the first two. Is Sec correlating plugin failures with syslog messages ?

And a very attractive means of handling SNMP traps it is too.

Sec has become for me, the standard way of providing event and trap 
handlers.

For example, I have a general host and service handler that updates a 
MySQL DB with the outage interval. To do this it must retain state (and 
does so with a Perl hash tied to a DB file) so it can determine if there 
has been a transition and if so, how long it was.

This would probably be easier to do with Sec contexts.

If I understand correctly, the proposal is

1 When Nag schedules a service check, of any and all service checks, it
in fact execs sec_filter with the real plugin name and flags that
determine sec_filters behaviour by allowing it to either

 1.1 treat the service as a normal Nag service (a 'polled' service, for 
     which no event correlation by Sec is necessary)

 1.2 treat the service as requiring Sec processing to accurately 
     determine the service state. Sec will get the plugin output and
     use this with other Sec inputs and Sec context to determine the 
     service state

2 Sec_filter writes

 2.1 For those services requiring Sec,

   2.1.1 An event to Sec

   2.1.2 One of the new status codes to Nagios

 2.2 Otherwise, in the case of 'polled' services, the usual Nag status 
     codes and plugin output are written to Nags input queue

3 Nag processes former status codes with no changes (ie CRITICAL leads
to the check being repeated retry_interval and if the state persists to
Notification), but those with the new code of IGNORE_ERROR are
recognised as requiring retry at the retry_interval but _no_ other
processing.

4 Sec will eventually submit a PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT to the Nag 
input queue (for the services that have formerly been reported as 
IGNORE_\w+.

Is this correct ?

My remarks are

1 This _may_ be better done in the Nag core. Nag could be equipped with
configuration directives for Sec processing so that Nag itself could
submit the event to Sec (rather than the plugin sec_filter). This 
saves an extra fork.

2 I am not sure how your proposal relates to the embedded Perl stuff 
(where each plugin is called as a function from the Nagios address 
space).

This is probably trivial since sec_filter simply becomes another Perl
plugin that Nag calls (and sec_filter 'requires' the real Perl plugin so
that re-compilation of the real plugin is avoided

3 I like the bit about making Sec processing optional (depending on the 
options specified to sec_filter)

For me, I am quite happy with Nags processing of most services. I can't 
say that the scenarios you mention are problematic for me. However, I 
would very much like the option of event correlation when required.

This needs the comment of the Nagios developer. It sounds attractive to 
me however.

I am sorry if these remarks are stupid or based on misunderstanding. I 
think I would need to see the mods for a better (marginally) response.

It may simply be worth posting them to Nagios-Devel. AFAIK this is not 
on the Nag road map so it simply may be a golden opportunity for a big 
benefit.

Finally, you have identified a good area for future development. Root 
cause analysis and event correlation is one area that commercial 
products can claim superiority. 

Thank you very much.

I have just released version 1.3.1 of the plugins. This is a bugfix
release.

Changes I remember include:

check_http now accepts the full set of RFC 2396 characters in path
check_snmp now passes -t to snmpget
urlize has note about effects of shell expansion
urlize keeps option order, thus passing options to invoked plugin
check_tcp can limit size of incoming stream
check_http fixed for when server closes immediately

Subject: Windows Eventlog Addon/Plugin published
Message-ID: <OFE6BFA3C8.A840E47C-ONC1256D60.004C0D8F@naw.de>

Hi,

we have just released our first public version of a Windows Eventlog Plugin
for Nagios.
Details can be found on

http://naplax.sourceforge.net

This addon allows Nagios to monitor Windows EventLogs by querying an agent
installed on the Windows machine (the agent is part of this package.) While
by default every event is notified by Nagios, extensive filtering can be
defined through various parameters. You can do "anything but XY" or"nothing
but XY" notifications or some strange things between these two.

Can somebody help me with a shell script I am trying to write for
nagios.
I am new to nagios and linux.

I can restart a failed nt service from nagios by hardcoding the server
name into an eventhandler script such as this.

/usr/bin/rsh thentservername net start \"Spooler\"

How can I have nagios enter the servername by reading the value of the
$HOSTADRESS$ variable ?

I have 30 servers I would like to monitor and would have to have 30
separate scripts and checkcommands at present.

I don't know of any existing method, however, it should be possible to create
some plugins using either SNMP or a combination of the CIM (Common Information
Model) agent and the ESS CLI(Command Line Interface).  My understanding is
that CIM and the CLI are freely available from IBM.

You can download the Linux CIM agent from:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S4000146

I'm not sure where to get the CLI for Linux from (or any other OS for that
 matter).  This may be something that you have to get from your IBM SE.

As far as SNMP goes, you can browse using snmp walk with no problems but I
have not been able to find a way to translate the OIDs so that I can get
something meaningful from SNMP.  It seems like SNMP will return some
performance information but you will need the proper mib(s) to make any sense
of it.

Hope that helps.

Depending on how you have your active directory/nt4 domain structure set 
up, they should respond as an IP (as in \\10.10.0.1). If not, you can make 
sure that /etc/hosts is up to date and use a hostname instead of an IP 
address for $HOSTADDRESS$. I'd definitely want it to be the former, but the 
latter is a workable solution, just requires a wee bit more maintenance.

Also, if you're passing this to an external command, why not just add 
another argument for the servername?

su nagios and executing the command will prove that you have a

Thanks for your help

I can make the script work if I hardcode the servername or ip address.

My check command for the event handler looks like this

# 'restart-spooler'  command definition
define command{
command_name	restart-spooler
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart-spooler.sh
$SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
	}

The script I use which is located in the eventhandler directory looks
like this

rsh carling net start \"Spooler\"


This works but only for the one server carling.

What can I change in the scripts for nagios to read a variable instead
so that I can run the same script against multiple nt servers?

I am new to linux and nagios.

Thanks again

Andrew Sanderson.

Subject: Adding users without contactgroups
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0307110956420.28573-100000@wopr.wolfram.com>

I have a user (manager) who wants to be able to see all host and service 
entries on Nagios. He is not in any of our contact groups, nor do we want 
to put him in one. I've given him permission in cgi.cfg to view all 
services and hosts, but he still can't log in.

I don't think it's an apache problem, as he can load the home page for 
nagios. He get a permission denied error when he clicks on the services or hosts link.

Do I need to add him into a contact group or maybe I just need to define 
him as a contact?

We're using ldap to authenticate our users rather than htaccess, if that 
makes a big difference.

Thanks,
Irene

Probably the easiest way to solve the problem is to setup a contact group 
just for him (manager/manager).  If you define it as a contact , nagios 
will return an error while loading asking for a contactgroup definition for 
the user "manager".

Change it back to what it was before you broke it.

Hello Martin,

That's a very interesting idea.
I was reading the plugin examples on your site, and I think I can use it
for a idea I had the other day.
I want to monitor the 'Application' Eventlog using your plugin, and have
Nagios send me a notification when it finds an 'Error' type log from
Norton Antivirus stating it has found a virus.
The 'Event Source' is "Norton AntiVirus" and the 'Event ID' is "5".
The 'Description' is usually something like this:
"Virus Found!Virus name: W32.Klez.gen at mm in File C:\somedir\somefile.exe
by: Realtime Protection scan. Action: Clean failed : Quarantine succeeded
: Access denied".
I want the plugin to send me the event description as its $OUTPUT$.
My question is: how does your plugin keep track of which event logs were
detected? I mean, if the plugin finds an error event such as the one above
and send me a notification, will it resend the notification the next time
the plugin is run (ex. 20 minutes later)? I want it to send the
notification only the first time the event log is detected.
Could this be done?

Best regards,
Rainer Alves

Subject: question on template based objects
Message-ID: <C7F00D7948B8E4468BB330152C6BA4E006252ADB@cstaex03.usiplumtree.ad>


I had a question regarding the use of templates.
Say for example I have various configuration files such as:

servers.cfg
network.cfg
ups.cfg

In my network.cfg file, I have this "host definition template"

define host{
        name                            network ; common template
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              3       ; Max attempts
        notifications_enabled           1       ; Host notifications are enabled
        notification_interval           5       ; Notification Interval
        notification_period             24x7    ; Notification Period
        notification_options            d,r,u     ; Notification Options
        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!
        }

My question is would I be able to now use this host definition template in my servers.cfg and ups.cfg without having to enter the text list above in my servers.cfg and ups.cfg files. (Basically so that I don't have to enter this host template 3 times)

I'm migrating from Netsaint to Nagios and I'm trying to get use to this template based setup.

Many thanks.

Jason T.

I monitor Windows servers for similar conditions.

However, I use Event Reporter on Windows to forward the Event Log to a
linux syslog server running syslog-ng. I then use Logmuncher to report
on the contents of the logs at 5 minute intervals.

I find this much easier and comprehensive than trying to detect logs
with Netsaint/Nagios. It would be trivial to modify the setup to send
passive alerts to Nagios upon receiving a critical message.

Hi

I want to modify the host-notify-by-email command such that it gives the email a high priority using the x-priority (yep I know its not rfc complient but my boss really wants it)

I have been fumbling around trying to do this without sucess and wandered if anyone out there had done this. 

The idea is that we only forward high priority alerts to blackberry wireless pagers via exchange (wash my mouth out with soap and water)

Any help greatfully accepted

Thanks

I have it running to monitor various items on a Windows NT 4 workstation
and it works fine so far - no problems found.

I wanted to start polling a lot of devices a lot more frequently, so I was
looking at utilizing the SNMPPD package.  On my NMS machine I run net_snmp,
nagios, mrtg and few other NMS tools, so I should have all necessary
packages, however, running ./configure for the SNMPPD (both 0.4.1 and 0.4.2)
I get the following error:

 

configure: error: Cannot find SNMP header files under

 

Any help would be appreciated.  I thought I remembered reading somewhere
about some perl modules that had to be installed, I looked back through as
much documentation as I could find and could not find the info.  

 

Thanks,

Message-ID: <6E27DC50E19EC641A60B5AD65594702D3F1451@bna1pxch01.accredo.acdo>

A solution you could do on an individual basis, is (if your using the newer
version of BB software) have a rule in outlook dump the nagios messages to a
folder and set a rule in the BB software to forward those messages as well
as High Priority messages from other sources.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Alerts with x-priority


Hi

I want to modify the host-notify-by-email command such that it gives the
email a high priority using the x-priority (yep I know its not rfc complient
but my boss really wants it)

I have been fumbling around trying to do this without sucess and wandered if
anyone out there had done this. 

The idea is that we only forward high priority alerts to blackberry wireless
pagers via exchange (wash my mouth out with soap and water)

Any help greatfully accepted

Thanks

Dick

after seeing the earlier email I downloaded the current client from the link
down there and got it to work as is, after changing the format of the
checkcommands to fit the checkcommand.cfg.  Works great, some of the syntax
is different for setting up the actual check commands than the examples, but
all in all works well.

I just tried this on my machine, so you should be able to do it by calling 
sendmail directly instead of using /bin/mail.  That will allow you to set the 
headers.

For example:

define command{
         command_name    notify-by-email
         command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "To: $CONTACTEMAIL$\nSubject: ** 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ 
**\nX-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n\n***** Nagios 1.0 *****\n\nNotification Type: 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$ 
($HOSTNAME$)\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: 
$DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$\n\nSee http://netmon.pdi.com/nagios/ 
for more information." | /usr/lib/sendmail -t
         }

BTW, all headers starting with X- are RFC compliant, they just aren't "official".

Of course , nagios read definitions from configuration files and load them 
in the same envinroment. This is the very own purpose of template , so you 
really have to set the template just one time.

Subject: what is wrong with my syntax
Message-ID: <20030712174413.3610.qmail@mail.com>

Hiya!

I am wondering what is wrong with my syntax....

I am trying to get NAgios to send me an SMS and an email in events. In contacts.cfg I have an entry that looks like this:


# 'nemir' contact definition
define contact{
        contact_name                    nemir
        alias                           nemir nemiria
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email,service-notify-by-sms
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                           nemir at mindless.com
        }

I have an entry in misccommands.cfg:

# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 1.0 *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICED
ESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" |
/usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }


# 'service-notify-by-sms' command definition
define command{
        command_name    service-notify-by-sms
        command_line    /bin/echo -e "*Nagios*\n$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$HOSTALIAS$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$DATETIME$\nInfo: $
OUTPUT$" | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ 2>/dev/null
        }



Something screwy goes on though.  When I remove the ,service-notify-by-sms entry,  I get emails as expected.  When I add it,  I don't get either emails or sms messgaes.

Is there something dumb I have overlooked?    I see in other config files that entries separated by a comma like thsi are fine.  The docs don't give a specific example of this sort of thing, though.

TIA

	The other option if you're really wanting to seperate things to
that degree is to make a templates.cfg file and put all your templates
in that file... Then you can have it loaded first then load all your
other configuration files..

Hiya.

I have read the faq http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=170,  and I have made the following entry to my cgi.cfg file:


nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 5 '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg'

after running ps -aux | grep nag and seeing this entry:

nagios   10922  0.0  0.1   392   628 ??  Ss     1:57PM    0:00.32 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg 


Isn't that what the minstructionss in the FAQ are telling me to do?

I have also tried

nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 5 '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios'

but this did not make any difference.



All suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Interesting seeing how other people monitor windows event logs with
nagios.
I use the dumpel.exe (dump event log) tool that comes with the windows
nt resource kit, I just dump the application, system & security logs
from all windows servers to a samba share on the nagios machine. Logs
can be dumped to comma or tab separated files. Then I just use awk/sh
scripts to scan the logs and report on events. Handy to awk in html &
<table> tags so they can be linked to & displayed in html.
I like this way as it saves having a client on the windows machines. I
just run a batch file every few mins off one of the windows servers &
that dumps the logs off all of them.

Anyone know what happened to NSClientEVL? Or got any other ways of doing
this?
Cheers
Dave.

I monitor Windows servers for similar conditions.

However, I use Event Reporter on Windows to forward the Event Log to a
linux syslog server running syslog-ng. I then use Logmuncher to report
on the contents of the logs at 5 minute intervals.

I find this much easier and comprehensive than trying to detect logs
with Netsaint/Nagios. It would be trivial to modify the setup to send
passive alerts to Nagios upon receiving a critical message.

I don't quite know why the emails stopped working mostly because they started to all of a sudden. The really cool thing is that I have figured out why the sms messages weren't getting through...   They were exceeding the 160 character limit of gnokii.

I think pretty much all this is cleared up.

Thanks for listening.

Subject: Problems compiling: Undefined symbol
Message-ID: <AC2564E8-B552-11D7-92F8-000A959E8314@overnite.com>

Hello,

	While looking for an answer in the archives, I found my question with 
no answer...  The good news is I've discovered the solution.  The 
gdImageCreateFromJpeg requires libjpeg.  If you only 'make', 'make 
install' libjpeg, you don't get the libraries and includes in 
/usr/local!  You must also 'make install-lib', 'make install-headers'.  
Then configure gd!  If you use gd 2.X you should now see:

** Configuration summary for gd 2.X.XX:

    Support for PNG library:          yes
    Support for JPEG library:         yes
    Support for Freetype 2.x library: no
    Support for Xpm library:          no

Run make, 'make install' for gd, then run 'make all' in the nagios 
build area again.

I hope this helps others trying to run Nagios on Solaris.

Regards,
-Eric

Subject: no alerts or trends, but updated state
Message-ID: <20030714052806.GA4173@dannf.org>

hey,
  i just upgraded from netsaint to nagio-mysql on a machine running
debian/testing.  i used the provided script to do the conversion.  however,
e-mail alerts seem to be broken, and history data is unavailable via the
web inerface (e.g, trends shows 100% indeterminate states).

  the overview page appears to be functional though - it knows when a service
is down.

  nagios-mysql 1.1-1, netsaint-plugins 1.2.9.4-18.1.
does anyone have an idea on what might be wrong?

Hi all,

I'm new on the list and new to Nagios, so forgive me if i'm ignorant. ;-)

I'm going to play a bit with nrpe to be able to check diskspace and cpu
utilization on remote hosts.
Does anybody have this working and does anybody have any examples of
check_nrpe checkcommands and nrpe.conf files?


Thanks a lot,

Ton.

I've been running netsaint and now nagios for a couple of years now with no
problem, however over the last weekend I've had a problem with
check_nagios. It returns a correct check to say it can find the local
processes but the last update time for the status.log file id huge (around
1058188037 seconds). As this breaks the 5 minute check in check_nagios all
the cgi interfaces are blank.

I'm running on Debian 3.0 with all the latest updates installed on x86.
Time is set via ntp and is correct.
Nagios is 1.1 (built from source) but the same problem occurs in 1.0
plugins are 1.3.1 (built from source)

any ideas ?

thanks

the service wasnt checked over the weekend.  Here are
the timeperiods involved:

I might be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure that the dumbel dumps the
whole log for the day. You can't break it down into smaller increments -
or the way the checklog2.pl scripts works but marking where it left off.

I like your method but wouldn't that cause a huge load later in the day as
the logs fill up more and more?

Subject: scheduling recurring downtime?
Message-ID: <16146.47892.671701.167713@montanaro.dyndns.org>


One machine here gets rebooted every Sunday at 1PM.  It's down for a couple
minutes at most, but our in-house monitor still notices.  More generally,
our regular maintenance window is Sunday from 1AM to noon, so machines are
sometimes taken down then.  When I switch over to Nagios I'd like to avoid
such spurious notices.  I know how to schedule a specific downtime period.
Is there a way to schedule a recurring downtime short of setting up a cron
job to submit it?

Thanks,

I too am trying to accomplish this.  What I did, but
not quite working yet, is create two new timeperiods. 
One called maintenence and another nonmaintenence. 
Then fill the times in as appropriate.  Create two
services as well, one for maintenence, and another for
nonmaintence.  Do whatever checks you need during this
time.  YOu can then turn off notifications or tailor
them as needed during your maintenence period.  The
major drawback to this idea is that you have to have
two services for each 1 service, one for nonmaintence
and another for the maintenence period.  I hope there
is a clever way to get around this.

Message-ID: <F456E65A37A8104CB488CADEBA0E7F870425E875@ptex01.ae.com>

I have been unable to compile NSCA 2.3 on Solaris 8.  I installed all the
prerequistes (libmcrypt-2.5.7, mcrypt-2.6.4, and mhash-0.8.18) just fine,
but everytime I try to make NSCA I get the following error:

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Good evening,

I am tring to download the English Nagios documentation , but the PDF file
never appear on my browser.

I need to donwload it to study and test for my Company environment.

May you help me?
Do you know if Nagios can run on HP-UX and/or Unix Tru64 ?

Many thanks

I have nrpe running and use the following commands from Nagios:

    define command{
        command_name        check_unix_disk
        command_line        $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disk
    }

    define command{
        command_name        check_unix_users
        command_line        $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_users
    }

    define command{
        command_name        check_unix_zombies
        command_line        $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_zombie_procs
    }

    define command{
        command_name        check_unix_procs
        command_line        $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_total_procs
    }

    define command{
        command_name        check_unix_mailq
        command_line        $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_mailq
    }

and these commands in nrpe.cfg on one of the hosts being monitored:

    command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
    command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
    command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w '10%' -c '5%' -q
    command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z
    command[check_total_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c 200 

Using check_nrpe is pretty straightforward.  Assuming you don't allow
parameters to be passed to the nrped process, all parameter control is done
on the server.

This time period seems screwy:

    terry>         }

Does Nagios do the right thing when the end time is earlier than the start
time?  That is, is

    sunday          04:15-01:00

interpreted as "Sunday 04:15 to Monday 01:00"?

A quick check of the docs suggests it should be

    sunday          00:00-01:00,04:15-23:59

Subject: New Nagios Macros?
Message-ID: <BB3841C1.6769%ckalos@esaya.com>

I don't know how useful this is, but I've had a request for it:

    Would it be possible to add a macro for the notes_url of the service
being reported?  While I personally don't see the point (once you can view a
web page, you can just hit the Nagios web console and view the additional
notes from there,) people have asked for it, evidently as a bit of a
shortcut.
    Unless I'm missing something, this would have to be built into Nagios,
as the URL can be different for any given service or host.

I guess one could create a script to write multiple statements to the
external command file, or just create a custom timeperiod that doesn't
include the few minutes that the server is rebooted.  That's what I've
done for the Oracle databases we monitor that get taken down every
Sunday for cold backups.

One machine here gets rebooted every Sunday at 1PM.  It's down for a

minutes at most, but our in-house monitor still notices.  More

There are some event handler scripts that you can get that disable and enable notifications.  You could run the one to disable notifications on a cron, then rerun it 5 minutes later.  It should be simple to edit the script so that it disable notifications just for the one host and all the services.

Subject: Wrong date/time in logs
Message-ID: <20030714165857.4126.qmail@linuxmail.org>

Hi people,

This morning I noticed something strange at logs. There are entries at my logs matching dates in 1969 switching with right dates in line. But looking for some seemed entries at "/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log" and "/usr/local/nagios/var/archives/*" I didn't find anything.

Looking at the "Event Log" in the web interface we can see this:

Did someone have any experience like that?

PS: This started to happen after someone reboot the server. Before it everything it was well.

Thank you!

I had a system that used to reboot nightly at 1 AM.

I made it a custom timeperiod for just that host, which excluded
12AM-2AM. If it didn't reboot properly, we'd get notified at 2 AM,
otherwise no notifications went out.

Using a timeperiod is quick enough, there's no need for external
scripts.

Subject: Still about logs in Nagios
Message-ID: <20030714172552.23838.qmail@linuxmail.org>

About my last post, other interesting details:

This morning I started to run arpwatch to discover new hosts in the LAN.
Now, looking at my logs I can see the following things:

--
root at gerenciamento /usr/local/nagios/var -> ls -lh
....
-rw-rw-r--    1 nagios   nagios        14M* Jul 14 14:19 service-perfdata.out
....
--
* 14MB from service-perfdata.out. This is not normal, is it?

And more: I noticed that the '/var/log/messages' are strangely "entering" in my 'nagios.log'
Some output from 'nagios.log':
Jul 14 11:19:16 gerenciamento arpwatch: bogon 10.21.158.1 40:0:82:10:18:18
Jul 14 11:19:17 gerenciamento arpwatch: new station 10.21.200.90 0:2:55:4c:62:2e
Jul 14 11:19:18 gerenciamento arpwatch: bogon 10.21.158.70 0:0:b4:43:48:e7

In 'nagios.log' there's logs about sendmail, and everything else from '/var/log/messages' too.
This shouldn't be only in '/var/log/messages'?

Now, _please_, someone has any, ANY idea about is going on.

Thank you so much.

Define a new timeperiod (or redefine the existing one) to exclude
the desired problem time period.  Make sure this is the one you
use for notifications in your host definitions.

When you do the timeperiod change, make sure you do it in the format:

  00:00-time1,time2-23:59

where time1 is when you want the notifications to stop, and time2 is
when you want them to resume.

Setting a timeperiod is the way to go.  I like to use timeperiods in
cases like this for notifications and not service checks.  This way you
can still log downtime with the service check for the host without being
woken up at 1am by the notification. :)

Is it possible to do once a day checks? If so, can you provide me an
example? I have looked in the documentation but not extensively. Before
I did, I wanted to check with this group. Our DBA's want to add some
daily checks on stuff like buffer quality,user calls, sorts, rollback

I'm not familiar with hp-ux but the same type of error under linux would indicate a lack of resources for spawning the process (memory/cpu/process limits hit). Perhaps that applies here?

Dear Sir,

I think that you may find it easier to accomplish this (recurrent 
downtime) with other means than Nagios polling the service.

This is exactly the sort of scenario that John Rouillard described as 
being advantageous for Sec (Simple Event Correlator) to manage the 
checks of the service (Mr Rouillard has already sussed out a Nag 
interface to Sec. You may want to write to him if you are keen on trying 
out his patches).

In this case, without any mods to Nag, you may be better off

1 Defining passive service checks for this sort of service

2 Checking the service by other means (eg have cron schedule a wrapper 
of the plugin that logs it's output to Sec on a HARD state and retries 
otherwise)

3 Configure Sec to write a PASSIVE_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT if the criteria 
are met.

Yours sincerely.

Hello Everybody

I have Nagios 1.1 running on FreeBSD 4.8. Except the extendend informations everything is working well (including mysql support). I have installed two icon-sets at IMO the right place and I am able to look at them with my browser if I point it there which leads me to the assumtion it's ok so far.

I commented out and configured the xeddb_* (as well as the other directives regarding database) in cgi.cfg to tell nagios to look into the database for extended information data. I also filled the table with some data which should produce some output. Unfortunatly I never become any icons displayed. Anyone can give me a pointer to get this running...?

It's working for me on Solaris 7. What's the problem?

Running configure told me everything that was needed if I wanted to
support one feature or another (samba for example for smbclient).

Subject: Jabber notification
Message-ID: <B6336D370EBD1647AD2A0F2FD434946B4378FF@top.jnpr.net>

Hi Fred,

So, I've installed all the required Perl objects for this jabber thing,
and have setup a small script just to ensure I can communicate with the
jabber server (before getting things too complicated). We use SSL and
port 5223 internally, so the script looks like...

[root at fangio ~/jabber-test]# more test1.pl 
    use Net::Jabber qw(Client);

    $Con = new Net::Jabber::Client();

 
$Con->Connect(hostname=>"jabber.labtest.jnpr.net",port=>5223,ssl=>1);

    if ($Con->Connected()) {
      print "We are connected to the server...\n";
    }

    #
    # For the list of available function see Net::Jabber::Protocol.
    #

    $Con->Disconnect();

But when I execute this script...
[root at fangio ~/jabber-test]# perl test1.pl 
You requested that XML::Stream turn the socket into an SSL socket, but
you don't have the correct version of IO::Socket::SSL v0.81. at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Net/Jabber/Client.pm line 196

[root at fangio ~/jabber-test]# rpm -qa | grep ssl
openssl-0.9.6b-18
docbook-style-dsssl-1.76-1
mod_ssl-2.8.7-4
openssl-devel-0.9.6b-18

So I know I've got ssl installed but it's not the version shown in the
error message.


I've taken a look at line 196 of the Client.pm file and am none the
wiser. Being a networking chappie (not a programmer) I haven't the
foggiest where to start. Any pointers?

And finally, the idea is to be able to Jabber a message to individuals
(listed in the contact group) who happen to be logged into jabber. I'm
assuming this will achieve that end result...?

Regards,

Ian

I just ran into this issue yesterday. Once you've downloaded and
installed all of the required libraries, be sure to run a 'make clean'
to remove leftover files from your previous compile. Then run
'configure' and recompile Nagios. This is what worked for me.

Everything that happens in messages is done the same in nagios.log. Why this could be?

Well, I ran the configure with the options mentioned, and it worked. So
I then ran make clean and re-ran configure without the '--with-gd-lib'
and '--with-gd-inc' options and this compiled just fine as well. So it
appears as though I did not need them, but YMMV so it probably wouldn't
hurt to use them.
 
I did install new JPEG libs, although I attempted an rpm update on the
zlibs and this did not install as it was the same version.
 
I'm not sure what you mean by the last question. If I'm interpreting it
correctly, then the answer is no, the gd and zlib files are not in the
same directory.
 
Don't be confused. If you haven't already tried what I mentioned earlier
(make clean, configure, recompile), then try that now. If it still does
not work, scroll up through the configure output until you see the point
where it fails. There are notes there outlining the steps to take when
encountering such a failure, such as running ldconfig to update the link
db. You may need to do this as well.
 
HTH.

Hi Garry,

 

Thanks for the reply.  When you re-run the configure, did you use any
options such as "-with-gd-lib" and "-with-gd-inc" ?   Did you have to
install new JPEG libs?  I already had installed, so I didn't bother.
Also had the zlib, so I didn't get that.  Do you need to have zlib in
the same dir when you run configure for the GD?  

 

Very Confused...

 

Pete

I just ran into this issue yesterday. Once you've downloaded and
installed all of the required libraries, be sure to run a 'make clean'
to remove leftover files from your previous compile. Then run
'configure' and recompile Nagios. This is what worked for me.

Hello,

 

I need help getting the GD libs detected during configure.  I downloaded
and installed the recommended gd,png libs and still nothing.  I tried
specifying at the command line with -with-gd-lib etc... and also
nothing.  I am running SUSE 8.2 and latest Nagios.  Can anyone assist
with this?

 

Thanks,

 

Pete

I have a check_http command running against a particular URL.. which works
great most of the time.. but ocassionally (and only on the two hosts that
I check using this lengthy URL) I get the error below.  I've run a script
that execs check_http manually against the same url while checking the
return code (runs once a second) and it has yet to fail on me (so I can
see what's going on).. so right now I'm clueless as to what may cause
these only *sometimes* .. Any suggestions would be appreciated.. My
commands etc are below as well.  Thanks!

Hello all,

I?ve just configure Nagios to monitorice all my hosts and services. I use the 'Trends' and 'Availability' frequently. Now, I need to generate automatic 'Trends' and/or 'Abailability' and store in a folder (for example), but I don't know if it is possible.

Somebody know how can I do it? any idea?

Thanks for all :-)

Greetings,

make[1]: *** [nrpe] Error 1

Initially the compilation cannot find the ssl includes too.  I came across a posting about a similar problem from the nagios-devel archives which showed me how to solved the ssl include problem (Thanks Skip Montanaro ? ) But I can't make sense of how to solve the u_int32_t problem.  Can someone send me details of how to solve this?  Thanks.

Lastly, during the ./configure, it complained that I do not have Kerberos include files.  How can I disable Kerberos being detected by configure?  Will nrpe still run without Kerberos?

==== part of output from ./configure ====

Thanks for any help rendered.

Subject: config.cgi - host dependencies - missing some host devices
Message-ID: <B9EC10038ABDD511B88800508BB0D9B801CB67FF@WTPS0052>

All, 

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior and if it could be a
setting somewhere.

When running the "host dependencies" section of the config.cgi (under view
config) I only get a partial list of hosts and their dependencies.  Only my
servers are in the list.  It looks to be every server but no other devices
(switches, ups's, etc).  Being all of one type of object is what causes me
to think it might be a setting somewhere.  My other devices (switches,
ups's, etc.) have parents defined as well, and can be seen in the host
section of the config.cgi.  Any thoughts, ideas?  TIA

Thanks,

Sounds like you need to use CPAN to update the version of the
IO::Socket::SSL package installed on your system.

    Ian> [root at fangio ~/jabber-test]# rpm -qa | grep ssl
    Ian> openssl-0.9.6b-18
    Ian> docbook-style-dsssl-1.76-1
    Ian> mod_ssl-2.8.7-4
    Ian> openssl-devel-0.9.6b-18

None of these relate directly to the Perl IO::Socket::SSL module.
IO:Socket::SSL is layered upon the libraries and header files in the
openssl* rpms.

To update/install that package, you can do one of two things.  

1. Run CPAN:

      perl -MCPAN -e shell

   At the CPAN prompt, issue this command: 

      install IO::Socket::SSL

   If you've never run CPAN before it will gather some initial information
   about how you like doing things and what CPAN mirrors you want to use
   before you get to the CPAN's shell prompt ("cpan> ").

   CPAN usually works well, though it can be tricky at times.  For instance,
   while writing this I tried the above install command.  IO::Socket::SSL
   depends on Net::SSLeay, which it dutifully tried to install.  That
   generated this warning:

There is an option in nagios.cfg called 'use_syslog'. If it is set to a 
non-zero value, it will log to both the nagios.log and syslog. Change it 
to zero, stop and start nagios, and it will not do it anymore.

Tom,

I know about this option. But what is happening is that things like crond output, errors from modprobe, logs from iptables, and all other stuff generated to syslog is using my nagios.log like it were the log file 'messages'.

Thanks,
Rivanor.

Okay, now that is seriously odd. One of them isn't a sym-link to the 
other, perhaps? Or /etc/syslog.conf isn't pointing to the wrong file?

Weird.

When I installed Nagios, I didn't have GD installed. I do now and I'd like
to get statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and histogram.cgi.

How do I compile the individual CGI's? I've spent quite a bit of time
getting Nagios monitoring everything on my network and I'm afraid of messing
it up.

Subject: Distributed Polling Question
Message-ID: <8A33B0D59EE5CD459FF98F7C5D49FFC604C980@patton.infosysnetworks.com>

I would like to configure Nagios in a distributed polling model, but I want the central server to be running multiple instances of Nagios (i.e. one for each customer so they have their own web interface, etc). The problem I see is that the NSCA client does not have a way to indicate which instance of Nagios to submit the passive check to. Does anyone have any experience with this situation? 

Thank you,

Brian Snead.

Message-ID: <B9EC10038ABDD511B88800508BB0D9B801CB6804@WTPS0052>

All, 

Are the trend.cgi, avail.cgi, histogram.cgi etc cgi's supposed to look at
log files in the archive directory?  Mine are only looking at the current
log file which is giving us incorrect metrics.  I am trying to determine if
this is by design or not.  I have searched the mailing list archives and the
config files and have not found anything definitive.  The cgi's have options
for choosing many different time frames (this year, last year, last month,
this week, etc.) so are those based on whether those times are in the
current log file or not?  Any help or experience shedding light on this for
me would be greatly appreciated.  TIA

Thanks, 

Greg Frater

Subject: How can I control host checks after service failure
Message-ID: <8A33B0D59EE5CD459FF98F7C5D49FFC60304F7@patton.infosysnetworks.com>

I am polling many services across a wan connection and have the check interval set to 3 minutes. When a service check fails, Nagios starts pounding out sequential host checks to see if the host is alive. The problem is that I want to give the host several minutes to make sure we a) fault isolate any parents that have failed and b) don't fire off false positives because of network load.
While reading about how Nagios handles service check scheduling, I came across this note -- "Also of note - when Nagios is check the status of a host, it holds off on doing anything else (executing new service checks, processing other service check results, etc)."

So, if I want three minutes before the host is reported as down and the check-host-alive command times out in 10 seconds, I can set the max_check_attempts to 18 (18 x 10sec). But I will not process any other service checks for 3 minutes, so they will become stale. 

If you can think of some alternatives, please let me know.

Thanks
Brian.

The way we handled this was having multiple instances of NSCA running on 
the machines with the multiple nagios instances.  Each nsca is listening 
on a different port.  Then, in your ocsp_command script that wraps 
send_nsca, include some logic matching the particular service to the 
appropriate client and then send it to the correct port.

Easy way is to run NSCA on different ports than the default. Each
instance has a different port, such as 5667 (default) 5668, etc.

2 cents.....why not read from data sent to a db with one copy of Nagios,
and create your own web interface for each customer from php, java etc,
accessable by one copy of Nagios...makes the server breathe easier.

Hi Moti,
 
Shouldn't it be -U instead of -S in define command ? I tried -S , it
complains about no SSL avilable anyway.

Hi,

I'm building nagios plug-in for Solaris8/SPARC, but never got success.
Although I have gcc, automake, autoconf installed. I don't know what I miss.
What environment did you build with? Etc... gcc version? Any other
requirement?

It's working for me on Solaris 7. What's the problem?

Running configure told me everything that was needed if I wanted to
support one feature or another (samba for example for smbclient).

Hello,

I'm trying to monitor remote services like check_disk
etc. The error message I get is "CHECK_NRPE: Received
0 bytes. Are we allowed to connect to the host?". The
error message is same, even if I run the check_nrpe
command line. My Nagios Server and clients are Solaris

Message-ID: <bf2upf$ekk$1@main.gmane.org>

Hi Folks

can anyone tell good parameters of 'check_imap' for "-s" and "-e" ?

If I specify none of them, everything is ok, but: with good parameters 
it may be possible to be a little bit more 'real' testing.

  -s, --send=STRING
     String to send to the server
  -e, --expect=STRING
     String to expect in server response -W, --wait=INTEGER
     Seconds to wait between sending string and polling for response


Thanks

Carsten

Subject: Authenticated users cross-auth problem
Message-ID: <Law10-F94scL9NtDEJm00013374@hotmail.com>

Hello all,

I have a ticklish problem:

>From the manual:
Authenticated contacts are granted the following permissions for each host 
for which they are contacts:
	* Authorization to view status information for all services on the host

The only way I can see for someone to be authenticated for a host is to be 
authenticated for a service assigned to that host or be a contact for a 
hostgroup that contains that host. (Is this right?)

Therefore:
If I have Service A associated with Host A and Contact A is authorized to 
view the status of Service A, Contact A by default has permission to view 
the status etc of Host A.
If I have Service B associated with Host A and Contact B is authorized to 
view the status of Service B, Contact B by default has permission to view 
the status of Host A, AND ANY SERVICES of Host A!

Contact B can see the status of Service A, even though Contact B is *not* an 
authenticated contact of Service A! (Due to Contact B being authorized for 
Host A)

Has anyone else come across this problem, or am not RTFMing properly? There 
has to be a way to have two services associated with one host and the 
respective contacts not being able to view the status of the other service.

(I have tried assigning the services directly to a host and assigning them 
via hostgroups, the same undesirable situation occurs.)

Please help!

Thanks,
Greg

Send body your /etc/nrpe.cfg file yet.
Exactly I think about "ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES"
section. Do you have your server IP address there ?

Greg,

That is working as expected but I found this was a limitation in our
environment. I wanted only specific services on a host to be visible to
certain contacts. For example, I only want the Unix team to see Unix
services, Oracle team to see Oracle databases, etc.

I applied this patch to auth.c.

I think the authentication should be more modular, but then you need to
specify for every service which contacts you want, which complicates the
configuration.

Hi Greg,

Nope you're right on the money. It seems to me that the logic is based 
around/tied to hostgroup definitions.

Partitioned views IMHO are a really nice aspect of Nagios. Make the concept 
of "Online NOC" work......But it seems far more sensible to make these 
partitions aligned to services rather than hosts - after all the Nagger is 
service focussed not host focussed.

Maybe if it was tied it to a service dependency definition it'd work 
better. That'd be a really good reason to create service dependencies for 
something other than alert-storm prevention....

i.e customer A is dependent of service dependency thread Z & Y.

hmmm...

Subject: Problem installing nagios
Message-ID: <1058351954.2081.38.camel@wusel.schnulli.de>

Hi,

I'm new to nagios and have a problem. Whenever I select something in the
web front end, I get:

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

If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.
****************************************************************

I can see no error message about this in the apache or nagios log files.

In the apache configuration file I configured:

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

Alias /nagios/ /usr/share/nagios/
<Directory /usr/share/nagios/>
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>


Nagios seems to run:

/var/log/nagios/nagios.log [1058351828] HOST NOTIFICATION:
daemon;router1;DOWN;host-notify-by-epager;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out
after 10 seconds

Can anybudy give me a hint?

In practice, won't the contact group for the service be a good indicator
of who should be authorized to see a service?

If Nagios perms were extended to allow access to members associated with
a contact group, there would be a rationale way to express this. You
woul need to ad login names to the contact or contact group definition.
But for some site, that might even be all you need to do.

(I haven't needed to do this, so I haven't thought alot about it -
forgive me if this could not work for some obvious reason I'm not
seeing)

The default send and expect strings should be fairly easy to read out of
the source for check_tcp - near the beginning of the file there's a
block of definitions for each of the variants that check_tcp handles.
That block includes the send and expect strings for the protocol i fthe
differ from those used to check a raw TCP connection.

That just means your OpenSSL development libs were not found during
configuration. If you want SSL, check the output from configure, fix
what needs to be fixed, then 'make distclean', configure and make again.

Ok, I think that's enough to be sure the service is up and running.

Hi Heinz-Josef

Did you checked cgi.cfg ?

If you set (default):

use_authentication=1

Then you have to setup Auth on Apache

Create:

/usr/local/nagios-1.1/share/.htaccess
/usr/local/nagios-1.1/sbin/.htaccess

Content:

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios-1.1/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user


Create Passwords (first user):

/usr/apache/bin/htpasswd -c /usrlocal/nagios-1.1/etc/htpasswd.users <user>

Additional users.

/usr/apache/bin/htpasswd  /opt/nagios-1.1/etc/htpasswd.users crose


Or RTFM :-)

Hmm. I may be confused, but you'd potentially need to construct a new 
grouping for services wouldn't you? How does your proposed logic deal with a 
single contact who has access to multiple services across multiple hosts? Or 
do you assign a contact group to each service? Thats feels like potentially 
lots of keyboard work for the typical/average nagministrator....

6 of one - half a dozen of the other really...I've not bothered either way. 
It just seemed simple to tie a service dependency contruct to a contactgroup.

Or perhaps it's better to think about a customer-view group - which can be 
different to a contact group....

My reality is I've got users looking at services that are actually dependent 
on each other to deliver something that the PHB's understand - like WWW - You 
know - expressing stuff in a "meaningful" way.  DNS bone is connected to the 
Firewall bone, which is connected to the Proxy/Cache bone etc etc  (you get 
the idea..)

I've been getting creative with service descriptions too - so this additional 
level of abstraction would be handy.

Or maybe it's late and I should sleep.

maybe a thread to continue...

I've reinstalled the plug-ins and nagios several times and haven't lost
my configuration yet. The only config files that are installed are the
sample files and only if you run make install-config. So far, I think
only the nagios/etc directory is the one that changes. Back it up first.

I'm still puzzling out the statuswrl.cgi trying to download rather than
rendering the 3d image so I'm sure I'll be reinstalling it again once I
figure it out (I suspect apache).

What sort of errors are you getting? I'm running gcc 2.95.2, PATH is
/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/openwin/bin (plus the normal stuff).

I had the same problem initially. Only the person assigned to the system
or service can see the respective item. If you want general access,
check your cgi.cfg file. There is a line or two where you can assign
total access to all services/hosts.

Thanx a lot, that's it!

Also thanx to all the other answers I got. Know that it's running in
principle, I only have to check the 500 possibilities to configure
nagios :-)

Subject: check skipped at scheduled time
Message-ID: <20030716122342.GA11010@yourvoice.com>

Hi all,
I've a problem in nagios 1.1
Sometimes nagios skips some service checks, so "Next Scheduled Active
Check" still be a date in the past and checks will not be executed
again.
Is this a bug or a missconfiguration?

Ciao,
Marco.

I have a host group with many hosts listed.

What is the correct syntax for breaking the line into several parts so that it's readable.
I tried putting a \ at the end but it didn't like that.

Thanks for your help.

The reason the statuswrl.cgi 3d downloads is because your browser does not have a virtual 3d plugin installed and doesn't know  how to display the file.

Hi there,

I am trying to monitor a particular process on an NT 4 server. The name of the
process is ConquestDICOMSe. This is how it appears in the Task Manager window.
The syntax that I am using on the Nagios server is:

check_nt_process!ConquestDICOMSe

Nagios is reporting the process is not running even though it appears in the
Task Manager. Any ideas?

I found a note on google groups mentioning that so I installed an NT
plug-in and it still tries to open the cgi. There doesn't appear to be a
linux or solaris vrml plug in though. I'll still poke around though.

Thanks for the reply.

I've added about 25 servers to my Nagios now, and "Status map"/Circular layout looks very tight (icons lay on each other)?
Is it OK or maybe I haven't set up something?

Subject: host checks, one more time!
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0307161015080.7797-100000@wopr.wolfram.com>

I'm sorry, I know it's in the documentation, but I need confirmation on my 
understanding of this function.

I just restarted nagios (kill -HUP nagios), as I made some config changes. 

As the hosts are getting rechecked, I'm getting a "Host Assumed to be up" 
message. Is this because a restart of this nature retains the previous 
state, thus not needing to do an actual check at this time?


Thanks again for your patience!

Andrew,

The check_nt_process requires an agent on the NT server. Are you running the NRPE agent on the NT box? We have been burned by loading agents on customer production servers, so we have chosen to utilize straight SNMP to monitor the process. This doesn't require anything on the server except for the SNMP service.

There is a patch plugin you can download from the plugin page called check_snmp_procs. You can also get disk space utilization and processor utilization directly from snmp.

Hope this helps.

Brian.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problem Monitoring A Particular Process


Hi there,

I am trying to monitor a particular process on an NT 4 server. The name of the
process is ConquestDICOMSe. This is how it appears in the Task Manager window.
The syntax that I am using on the Nagios server is:

check_nt_process!ConquestDICOMSe

Nagios is reporting the process is not running even though it appears in the
Task Manager. Any ideas?

Hi Folks

I try to configure some of the nice icons for display in the statusmap

- No Errors in Apache log.

- GD and PNG should work, cause I see some other dynamic generated

- /etc/init.d/nagios restart

It's neither a bug or a misconfiguration.  It's a feature!

My guess is you are looking at the scheduler and seeing things that have
already happened.  The checks aren't removed from the list just because
they are in the past.  Just wait for the last thing in the list to get
checked and it will refresh all on it's own.

Hello All,

I had a problem getting my statusmap, histogram, etc running as I did not
have the correct libs on my system.  

So I installed the correct versions, or so I thought and now I am having
another problem.  

When I try to access the statusmap or histogram cgi, the page comes up, but
no images....

The error I receive in my http error log is as follows:

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12
libpng warning: Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.2.5
gd-png:  fatal libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and
library


it also says the script ends prematurely....


has anyone else run into this conundrum?  

Thanks...

Pete

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your e-amil. The problem has been resolved. The issue was that
the process' actual name was ConquestDICOMServer.exe
rather than the truncated version that appeared in Task Manager. Once that
was corrected, Nagios was able to monitor the process successfully.

Regarding the problem you have described: I am running the NSClient program
on all our NT boxes. I have found this app to work well in Windows NT and
2000. The documentation is relatively straight-foward. If you are interested
in using this client program, here are the url's where you can download it:

http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/

http://support.tsmgsoftware.com/

Let me know how things go.

As painful as this will sound, I don't believe there's a way
to wrap long lines in the config files (and still have Nagios
understand them).

Hi Peter

I run into similar problems on another project. My solution was to have 
a clear installation.

- Check, where libpng is installed (usr/lib) , don't forget the headers 
(/usr/include) files
- Check which png lib is compiled into gd
- Check which png lib is called by apache

For myself, I compiled and installed png, gd complete new, just to be 
sure to use the right version. I took care, that gd and apache uses the 
new version.

Your error messsages report, that only the png.h is old. Perhaps it's ok 
just to install libpng in the right version.

Irene,

This is because you problably set the option "retain_status_information" in value equal to 1.
Reading the documentation we can see the following:
"This directive is used to determine whether or not status-related information about the host is retained across program restarts. This is only useful if you have enabled state retention using the retain_state_information directive. Value: 0 = disable status information retention, 1 = enable status information retention."

Try to change this value to one different from what is in your config now. Then, restart nagios processes and check this out.

I hope this resolves your problem.

You don't need to thanks the "patience"! We all are here to try to help one each other. :)

Message-ID: <22368.12.160.33.128.1058373260.squirrel@mail.sancho2k.net>

Hi all,

We came to a sudden and discomforting realization that our disk space
checks on NT/2000 boxes using check_nt were not returning status levels as
we would expect per the -w and -c switches. Here's our example command:

# check_nt -H 10.0.0.3 -w 20% -c 80% -v USEDDISKSPACE -l C

C:\ - total: 19.10 Gb - used: 13.94 Gb (73%) - free 5.16 Gb (27%)

With the warning threshold we have set here, I would expect the check to
return a status other than OK on this. Nagios of course displays OK in the
UI even when drive space is sitting at 100% full, 0% free.

We've seen an alternative to this in using SNTP but this is not an
alternative in our case.

Any suggestions?

TIA,

DS

Subject: Too many systems in statusmap
Message-ID: <1058375930.14106.71.camel@unixgod.hq.nasa.gov>

Is there a way, when you exclude a group from the statusmap.cgi, to
prevent all the other systems that aren't being statused from being
displayed as a blank block?

In other words, when I exclude the systems that just need hardware
support and not admin support, they are showing up on the statusmap.cgi
display but as blank spots.

Thanks

Carl

Carl,

I believe it is generated by the way that Nagios access and use the gd library, a graphics library used to create/generate the images. Maybe this could be changed, but probably not safely, switching some functions in nagios core (source).

This also could be a good topic for nagios-devel (nagios-devel at lists.sourceforge.net). :)

Rafal,

Nagios adjust by itself the layout to Status Map for Circular Layout. If you want to have a better look you should adjust some values (2d coords) in your hostexeinfo configuration file to each host. After that you setup Nagios, in  cgi.cfg file, to use "user-supplied(defined) coords" by default layout and you will see things like the way you want.

I am using NTsyslog (on NT and 2k) an syslog-ng as syslog-server on a Linux
box.
With syslog-ng you can define filters, piping throu a (perl-)script and
write the output into the nagios-fifo-file

dumping the eventlog every few minutes?

Subject: Stale Service Checks
Message-ID: <8A33B0D59EE5CD459FF98F7C5D49FFC60304F9@patton.infosysnetworks.com>

I have searched the docs and faqs and have not been able to find an explanation for all the stale service checks I am getting. In my event log, I sometimes get 30 or more of these messages for different services, but when I check the performance of Nagios, I don't have any latency in executing of service checks and the max execution time of a service check seems reasonable (i.e. <10sec). These checks are not passive and are all being completed from a central server. Also, does the stale by 43 seconds in the message below mean it is 43 seconds past the threshold of 75 seconds?
	07-16-2003 15:45:48] Warning: The results of service 'Generic_Ping_Response' on host 'NEA_CAMAIL2' are stale by 43 seconds (threshold=75 seconds). I'm forcing an immediate check of the service.

Thanks for any info you can give.

Brian.

Subject: Decrease network usage (check hosts and services)
Message-ID: <20030716214137.20466.qmail@linuxmail.org>

Hi folks,

Today I check the availability of the hosts doing a generic ping (services.cfg):
define service{
        host_name               *
        service_description     PING
        check_command           check_ping!150.0,30%!500.0,60%
        max_check_attempts      5
        normal_check_interval   5
        retry_check_interval    3
        <snip>
        }

And also I'm doing the following (hosts.cfg):
define host{
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               firewall
        alias                   Firewall
        address                 10.2.200.73
        parents                 routeswitch
        check_command           check-host-alive <snip>

But it's generating too much traffic in my network (~14MB in a day). This is not good.
What does anyone suggest?

Hello,

- Is it possible that the status-map will change color/status is one or
more services of a host is in warning or critical state? now is all
green as the host is up but in fact there is/are issue(s), it would nice
as the management 'love' cool looking graphics although the SA just have
their browser point to the status overview page (or soemthing else)

- I made couple plugins they are all based on Sun Solaris spacr systems,
  not tested on Intel
	- checking memory / swap : total system (C-program)
	- checking memory / cpu usage per user  (ksh)

$ ./check_solaris -m

$ ./check_cpu_user -u luc 
CHECK_CPU_USER OK -  user luc current usage (0.8%) top 2: 0.3% check_cpu_user/1 ;  0.2% prstat/1 ;

	Nope you're seeing exactly what everyone else sees that hasn't
found the patch on the mailing list and applied it to the source code...
Been a known issue for quite awhile since 1.1 was released and is
already fixed in CVS... Simple fix is the following in case you don't
want to dig through all the ML archives searching for it...

	Regards,
	Jeremy

Unless your system is frequently unavailable, this seems very high.  A ping
packet is typically under 100 bytes.  Let's assume it's 128 bytes to be
generous.  Five packets sent would be 640 bytes.  Running check_ping every
five minutes means it's run 288 times per day, generating under 200 kbytes
per host.  Is it 14MB for one host or for all hosts you're checking?

Subject: Email notification problems
Message-ID: <BB3B619E.291%shawn@greenthing.org>

I have nagios setup & monitoring about 30 hosts on our network.  Everything
works well except for the email notifications and pages (email SMS) being
sent out.  Here's a snip from the nagios.log with the particular error:

[1058403710] Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/usr/bin/printf
"%b" "***** Nagios  *****\n\nNotification Type: PROBLEM\n\nService: Current

alert - Monitoring Server/Current Users is WARNING **" 911 at xxxxxxxx.com"
resulted in a return code of 127.  Make sure the script or binary you are
trying to execute actually exists...


Nagios is running on a gentoo machine w/ sendmail installed & running fine
(other services sending email thru it just fine).  Also installed mailx, as
it's not a standard installed package.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Shawn

Subject: nagios problem
Message-ID: <005101c34c0d$d88ad990$5a8b17ac@a3gts4>

hello.. got a problem on how to customize the look of my nagios 1.1. it is
currently installed on redhat 7.3 and dumping the database to a mysql
server. problem is can i customize the look of the monitoring tool be on a
per application view. because our web developers is providing web
applications to internal clients hence it would be easier for helpdesk and
developers to view our monitoring tool on a per web application basis rather
than the per server and services basis..

example..

webapplication 1
host         service                   status        ... ... ....
server1    check_tomcat        ok
server2    check_oracle         ok
server3    check_ldap            ok
etc....

can this be achieved in nagios 1.1? thanks and any suggestions are welcome.

   Your comment here and the next one (statusmap) are appreciated.

Subject: Host-check vs. Host-Service-Check
Message-ID: <96C102324EF9D411A49500306E06C8D10203B0D5@eketsv02.cubis.de>

Hi there all,

i have a small questions concerning host alive checking and how this to be
configured (or, what the real semantic difference is):

Assuming a host definition, let's say hostA, there are two ways to monitor
the presence of this host:

1. define a check_command (check-alive) in the host definition
2. define a service with a check_command (check-alive) and attach the host
to it.

When i do the first one, nagios complains about no services attached to this
host (it is assumed that i simply want to monitor the host for presence, and
no further services on it). In addition, it is not possible to build service
dependencies for nagios indicating a dependency on the presence of this
host.

So i switched to the second option, nagios is happy with the definitions and
dependencies also work. The question is, for what the check_command in the
*host* defintion might be good or useful for?

(A second question comes to my mind while i'm writing this: for services
there is a configurable time interval the service gets checked
(*_check_interval), i didn't find something equal for the host's check
command? Which interval is used for host monitoring?)

With regards,
   Eyck Warich.

the host check 'check_alive' is not a regular check like service checks.
if a service check indicates a problem, nagios will use 'check_alive' to
verify whether the host is up or not. see documentation chapter "Service
Check Scheduling" paragraph "Scheduling During Problems " and "Host
checks".

see above. there's no regular interval.

   A little question.. Nagios is designed as I discovered to monitor        
   whether the services are down.. Me I want to see whether the services    
   are up. I want to see if one port is open in all machines and if it's    
   up make nagios send me notifications.                                    
   So for me the down status is ok, but nagios when it see that the answer  
   is "Connection refused by host" it generates automatically critical      
   error.                                                                   
   I tried to add ./check_tcp -H xxx -p aaa -e Connection refused by host,  
   but it didn't run.... Any ideas?

Subject: SNMP in Red Hat 9.0
Message-ID: <sf166211.068@asdmngwia.mpls.udlp.com>

Pawel,
You need to install the net-snmp packages.  They may already be installed.
Try "rpm-qa | grep snmp" and see what it returns.  If it isn't installed,
it is probably on the CD.  There should be 3 packages.

Try changing your -w and -c parameters so that they follow the -v and -l
parameters.  For example, modify your command below to check_nt -H
10.0.0.3 -v USEDDISKSPACE -l C -w 20% -c 80%.  That is the proper syntax
according to the documentation.

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_nt diskusage query no status returned

Hi all,

We came to a sudden and discomforting realization that our disk space
checks on NT/2000 boxes using check_nt were not returning status levels
as
we would expect per the -w and -c switches. Here's our example command:

# check_nt -H 10.0.0.3 -w 20% -c 80% -v USEDDISKSPACE -l C

C:\ - total: 19.10 Gb - used: 13.94 Gb (73%) - free 5.16 Gb (27%)

With the warning threshold we have set here, I would expect the check to
return a status other than OK on this. Nagios of course displays OK in
the
UI even when drive space is sitting at 100% full, 0% free.

We've seen an alternative to this in using SNTP but this is not an
alternative in our case.

Any suggestions?

TIA,

DS

Wouldn't "fping" be a good alternative?  I believe it only sends one packet.

Unless your system is frequently unavailable, this seems very high.  A ping
packet is typically under 100 bytes.  Let's assume it's 128 bytes to be
generous.  Five packets sent would be 640 bytes.  Running check_ping every
five minutes means it's run 288 times per day, generating under 200 kbytes
per host.  Is it 14MB for one host or for all hosts you're checking?

There is also a perl module from CPAN called Net::SNMP. It is confusing because the Net-SNMP source also comes with a perl module, but I never got it to install correctly. Net::SNMP works with the plugins disk_by_snmp and check_smnp_procs patch.

Hope this helps.

Subject: check SNMP plugin won't compile
Message-ID: <F148F49435FA57408CC95EF69DFD4E5316F0B6@golden-m.mactec.com>

I've just installed Nagios 1.1 on a new RH9 system and am now attempting to compile the plugins (1.3.1). The first time that I attempted this, check_snmp was not compiled due to the fact that the configure script could not locate 'snmpget'. I had installed Net::SNMP perl module via CPAN, although I did not have the NET-SNMP package. I have since downloaded and installed NET-SNMP 5.0.8 and 'snmpget' and 'snmpgetnext' are both located in /usr/local/bin. Unfortunately, the nagios plugins configure script still does not compile the check_snmp plugin, and shows the same error message as before:

checking for snmpget... no
** Get snmpget from http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net to make check_hpjd and check_snmp plugins
checking for snmpgetnext... no

I've done a 'make clean' for the plugins and tried again.
I've reinstalled NET-SNMP
I've deleted the plugin source directory and untarred and tried again.
I've even gone so far as to reboot the box and try again.
Looking through the INSTALL, README, and REQUIREMENTS files, I was not able to find anything about specifying the correct path to necessary files.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,

	Some basic stuff to check:

	- does your $PATH env var contain /usr/local/bin when you
	start the ./configure ?

	- did you look on "./configure --help" to see if some options could
	be given to help it to find the netsnmp package ?

	- did you check the configure.in file to look what kind of
	check it contains concerning net-snmp ?

'Hope this help,		Freddy.

	Can you include the service definition? more importantly line
202 of services.cfg.  The syntax is hostgroup1,hostgroup2,etc...

Subject: Solved: check SNMP plugin won't compile
Message-ID: <F148F49435FA57408CC95EF69DFD4E5316F0BC@golden-m.mactec.com>

I checked the path and it did contain /usr/local/bin, so then I tried ./configure --help for the NET-SNMP package. I found the parameter --enable-ucd-snmp-compatibility and decided to give that a shot. It worked perfectly.

Thanks for the help Freddy.

Subject: NRPE: could not complete SSL handshake
Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.2.20030717173603.0381f540@sun1.cup.cam.ac.uk>

Hi,

I have just got this working and notice several posts on the list with this 
error message. As none of the reply's had my particular solution i thought 
i should share.

firstly I'm running check_nrpe from a Solaris 8 machine, and nrpe so far on 
Solaris 8 and 9 machines.
on all Openssl version is 0.9.7b

the main problem was that the inetd.conf entry in the README file is wrong 
for Solaris - here is mine:
nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios  /usr/local/nagios/sbin/nrpe nrpe -c 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i

secondly i had to put some symlinks in for the libssl and libcrypto 
libraries - its worth doing ldd on nrpe to check it can access all the 
library files it needs.

hope that helps somebody sometime :)

cheers,
Alexei.

Take out the trailing comma in the hostgroup_name. Since it's using
commas as tokens, the last one will be null because it thinks there are
three groups.

I downloaded the Cortona for IE and Netscape. Only the Netscape one
works though. Unfortunately there's no VRML plug in for Solaris so
setting up the monitoring system on the hosting system is out.

There should be no comma on the end, it is expecting another hostgroup.

Subject: check_nt diskusage query no status returned
Message-ID: <200307171753.h6HHrDGT001378@webmail2.magma.ca>

The order of the switches does not actually matter. The text of the output will always be 
the same, however the status code returned by the plugin should be 0 for ok, 1 for 
warning and 2 for error. To check that it is working, simply create a simple perl wrapper 
to see the return code

#!/usr/bin/perl
$ret=system(/usr/local/nagios/check_nt -H somehost -w 80 -c 90 -v USEDDISKSPACE -l C");
print "$ret\n";

You'll see the returned text of the command on one line and the return code on the other. 
The return code from Perl needs to be divided by 256. So you'll see 0 for OK, 256 for 
WARNING and 512 for CRITICAL.

I did a quick check of the object configuration docs and the only place
"hostgroup_name" are options is in the hostgroup and hostgroupescalation
objects. Are you sure you're using the right keyword?

Hrm, interesting.  I figured that it was printf'ing the message & piping it
into /bin/mail via the notifications cgi.  The -s would work there as the
subject line.

Or am I mistaken on that assumption?

Thanks

Subject: Management Router
Message-ID: <004101c34c91$d4921c20$7f023702@sao2127>

Could you help me ?

I?d like manage some routers by SNMP protocol.
Today I am using the Net:SNMP, but I don?t to get receive information using
"check_snmp" only with "check_ifoperstatus".
I saw in the Nagios FAQ?s something about this issue with the title "Sending
SNMP traps to a management host".
Somebody already used this solution ?
How can I do to implant it ?
Thank you.
Hugo

Hello,

you are not using /bin/mail, you are actually piping it into "-s".

hi,

i installed the newest cvs with the newest plugins, i dont know if i
should use the head or the others, i tried both of them.

after upgrading i can use the cgi's but i cannot use commands with cgi's

that command

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios -F /var/log/nagios/status.dat -e 5 -C
/usr/sbin/nagios

output

Nagios problem: located 4 processes, status log updated 1058469897 seconds
ago

it seems like a permission problem but i checked the cgi.cfg and the
permissions in /var/log/nagios.

any ideas?

thx

claus

I recently had a system with GRSecurity in the kernel with /proc
restrictions that prevented the webserver from running check_nagios
properly.

Check_nagios would execute ps, and the /proc restrictions would
prevent the webserver from viewing all the processes.

Had to add the apache user to group wheel to get it to work, and that
really isn't the best choice. ;]

Here's one of the bazillion I use:

# 'check_disk_remote' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_disk_remote
        command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C '/home/nagios/libexec/check_disk -p $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$'
        }


And then the service definition:

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       hostname
        service_description             /home
        is_volatile                     0

It's not the same problem to me. I think i haven't restrictions on /proc.
What the group wheel is doing, i use Debian and have no wheel.

Subject: Authentication problem
Message-ID: <3EEF125F00003C80@mail02.agrinet.ch>

 I have a realy strange problem ....

I set up nagios under apache 2.0.45

all the .htaccess and authentication stuff works fine
I get a prompt enter user/password
get in and see on the web pages "Logged in as ..."

But when I try any of the Service Detail, Host Detzail etc.

I get:
It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for
any of the hosts you requested...

If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements
for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.


But in the cgi.conf file I configured:
use_authentication=0
default_user_name=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_configuration_information=*
authorized_for_system_commands=*
authorized_for_all_services=*
authorized_for_all_hosts=*
authorized_for_all_service_commands=*
authorized_for_all_host_commands=*

I tested also less permissive configs like:

use_authentication=1
default_user_name=guest
authorized_for_configuration_information=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_system_commands=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_all_services=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_all_hosts=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_all_service_commands=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_all_host_commands=... (same literal as login user)

Always the same result. If I call the cgi's on the command line they seem
tio work better as soon as I set 
REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
QUERY_STRING="host=all"
REMOTE_USER="..." (same literal as login user)
/usr/local/nagios/sbin/status.cgi

How may I debug the cgi's when running in the server?
Is it possible that I have to configure apache2 differently?

Thanx and regards,
Claus

Problem: I'm attempting to use check_snmp to check the status of ATM
circuits on a Cisco Router. However, the check_snmp plugin is reporting
that a returned status of "up(1)" is critical. Below is the output from
the standard snmpget command, as well as verbose output from the
check_snmp command with and without the string to expect. 

[root at monitor2 libexec]# snmpget -c <community> 10.1.190.1

I've been killing myself trying to figure this one out today. Any
assistance is greatly appreciated.

If the NRPE daemon and client compiled without any errors, you
can continue with installation.  The NRPE daemon and client
binaries are located in the src/ subdirectory.

 ** If this is your monitoring host **

     - Copy the check_nrpe client to the directory that
       contains your Nagios plugins.
     - Create a command definition in your Nagios config
       file for the NRPE client.  See the README file for
       more info on doing this.

 ** If this host will be running the NRPE daemon **

     - Copy the nrpe daemon to /usr/sbin, /usr/local/nagios
       or wherever you feel it fits best.
     - Copy the sample nrpe.cfg config file to /etc,
       /usr/local/nagios or wherever you feel it fits best.
     - Modify the /etc/services file and configure NRPE to
       run under inetd, xinetd, or as a standalone daemon.
       See the README file for more info on doing this.

use_authentication=1
default_user_name=guest
authorized_for_configuration_information=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_system_commands=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_all_services=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_all_hosts=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_all_service_commands=... (same literal as login user)
authorized_for_all_host_commands=... (same literal as login user)

Always the same result. If I call the cgi's on the command line they seem
tio work better as soon as I set 
REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
QUERY_STRING="host=all"
REMOTE_USER="..." (same literal as login user)
/usr/local/nagios/sbin/status.cgi

How may I debug the cgi's when running in the server?
Is it possible that I have to configure apache2 differently?

Thanx and regards,
Claus

Subject: service stale at the first try.
Message-ID: <sf16e044.070@gw.fxcm.com>

Hi group, 
    I have a host with check_ping service check.  The host is unreachable by nagios, that I know.  The problem is nagios only did a single attempt for the service and it stales.  Here's the configuration for that service.  check_wanping is just a check_ping with modified parameters to allow longer latency.  I hope you see the problem here, if nagios stop at the first attempt, I would never the notification, which is not good.  

TIA for any help.
Mark

Subject: I've created a web based nagios configuration tool.
Message-ID: <sf16e2a9.076@gw.fxcm.com>

Hi group,
    Second post of the day.  I have created a nagios' web base configuration interface using php and postgres sql.  It's currently a module to my company's IT intranet site.  If there's a demand for the tool, I can try to separate it out from the intranet and make it standalone.  So, please let me know if you have interest.  

We used some customized concept in our nagios.  So if I do make it standalone, I will have a website along with it to explain how we configure our nagios.  I also have a perl script that migrates  my nagios configuration into database.  Let me know.


regards,
Mark Lin

Subject: centralized syslogging & notifications
Message-ID: <C476216FED4D5342898C9A2CD90309521A347B@PKDWB02C.ad.sprint.com>

Greets to all.

Lately I've been pondering/revisiting the whole issue of how best to
manage/respond to lines worthy of critical/warning events which show
up in /var/log/messages.  Here's what I'm doing today:

- all hosts log to xloghost (alias for another host)
- xloghost is running NRPE client
- NRPE kicks off the Perl version of check_log
- if match found return string/code to NRPE

Sounds good so far.  However:

- Nagios reports a problem on 'xloghost', not on the host in question
- if notifications for host 'foobar' have been disabled, this doesn't
  stop notifications being relayed by from 'xloghost'; if check_log finds
  a matching string, it doesn't care about host details

Possible steps to improve the situation:

- move xloghost (centralized syslogging) to Nagios host
- munge check_log (Perl version) to inject proper details into nagios.cmd
  (reporting on actual host, not xloghost), and run from cron
- additional munge to check_log to possibly report first (not last)
  line of log output

Wish list:

- when syslog catches multiple lines of related output:
  - the whole lot would be forwarded to the appropriate contacts
    via e-mail
  - a modest snippet gets sent to the pager contacts (longer pages
    can be split into 2 or 3 chunks and sent as separate pages)
  - the whole lot gets appended (with a separator) to an HTML file
    which can be accessed via notes_url

Comments?  Critiques?  Suggestions and improvements?  Enlightened input?

Subject: very urgent
Message-ID: <E19dJhN-0001kh-0j@externalmx.vasoftware.com>

FROM: MRS.MARIAM SANI ABACHA

STRICTLY PRIVATE


Dear Sir,

PROPOSAL FOR THE RE TRANSFER OF US$45.5 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS.

I take liberty to introduce my humble self to you and permit me to write
you.

I am MRS MARIAM ABACHA (WIDOW) the wife of Late General Sani Abacha Former
Head of state of the defunct Military Government of Nigeria, who was killed,
while in office in 1998.

After these, the Present Democratic Elected Government of OLUSEGUN OBASANJO
took over in 1999 as a result of Military 
misrule over the years, during the tenure of Late General Abacha (my inlaw)
he enriched and accumulated a lot of money while in office, but
unfortunately for him the man died.

This money was lodged in different banks abroad in America, Canada, Europe
and Africa. Etc.

However, the present Government succeeded in Frozening most of these
Accounts and have so far recalled these money back to the country, with
exception of the money deposited in a valt with AMICABLE SECURITY COMPANY in
Cotonou Republic of Benin undiscovered up til date. And due to sanction
placed on the family by the Present Government I can not reach this money
nor withdraw it to Nigeria for use.

Otherwise, we have jointly decided within the family to relocate this funds
out abroad for investment. This is the only ways and means we can utilize
this money wisely.

Consequently, we beg for your assistance in investing this money ie.
Purchase factory (s), Estate and any other viable venture you might suggest.
I got your contact through your country (s) Embassy, as a trustworthy and
reliable person we believe strongly, you will not disappoint us, we have
also agreed to give you 30% of the total amount as share in this business,
at the end of the day.

Finally, we require the following information to facilitate and
normalization of documentation with the Security Company.

(a) Your complete name
(b) Your Telephone/Fax Numbers
(c) Complete Bank Account Numbers and Addresses.

Again, all arrangement and logistics of this transaction are in place as you
are free and secured in this transaction, you will be glad you did and we
shall remain grateful.

I most faithfully look forward to hear from you.

Thanks in anticipations.

Best regards,

MRS.MARIAM SANI ABACHA

Subject: Bandwidth utilization (snmp / cisco router)
Message-ID: <6.0.0.8.2.20030717220619.0239b460@pop1.mail.com>

Hello,

I'm trying to retrieve the average bandwidth utilization (percent) on a 
cisco router using snmp.
What would be the best way to do this? I've been unable to find a cisco mib 
related to bandwidth percentage (only bits/sec)
According to Cisco, the only way to do is this: 
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/477/SNMP/calculate_bandwidth_snmp.html (a 
formula using
ifInOctets and ifSpeed)
I know this could be done with cricket / rrdtool, but has anyone succeded 
in doing this using check_snmp or some perl script with net::snmp? (ex. 
check_traffic_percent with parameters for hostaddress, interface number, 
community string, and warning/critical percent levels)

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Can't compile nrpe on Solaris 8
Message-ID: <CDA8D2689259E444942B3CDED8DD9129620282@MBXSRV03.stf.nus.edu.sg>

Greeting!

Thanks for the responses that I got from Jordi Vidal and Skip Montanro.

I was directed to download the latest tar tarball from

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/cvs/nrpe-cvs.tar.gz

However the latest tarball (I got version 2.0b5) still have a problem with finding the ssl include path.  I have to tweak the configure script (As previously suggested from Skip) like this

==== part of configure script ====
if test -f "$dir/include/openssl/ssl.h"; then
                        found_ssl=yes
                        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$ssldir/include/openssl -I$ssldir/include"
==================================

It seems like common/config.h has a difference in the #include directive statements.  Incidentally I got openssl from sunfreeware and the include files are installed in /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl.

But the good thing is that the u_int32_t problem is gone!  :)

I am now trying to set up nrpe to do remote monitoring.  Thanks again guys.

Regards,
Chan Chee Seng

Initially the compilation cannot find the ssl includes too.  I came across a posting about a similar problem from the nagios-devel archives which showed me how to solved the ssl include problem (Thanks Skip Montanaro ? ) But I can't make sense of how to solve the u_int32_t problem.  Can someone send me details of how to solve this?  Thanks.

Lastly, during the ./configure, it complained that I do not have Kerberos include files.  How can I disable Kerberos being detected by configure?  Will nrpe still run without Kerberos?

==== part of output from ./configure ====
checking for Kerberos include files... could not find include files
=========================================

Thanks for any help rendered.

Hi therte , 
 
this might not quite directly related to Nagios though. I try to change the
network setting of my Nagios server by changing the host alias from
localhost.localdomain to be servername.mydomain.com.au. [from /etc/host]
 
Once I've done that , the email notification has never get sent out, even if
when there is somethng wrong.
 
Can anyne tell me what did I do wrong ?
 
Thanks

What is the contents of your contacts.cfg file?  Are the email addresses correct in there?  Is other email working from your machine?

yeah , the contacts.cfg file is okay. Because  it was working before when
the alias was localhot.localdomain , once I change the host alias to be
myservername.mydomain.com  , it stop sending any notification.   I just
changed it back to be localhost.localdomain again , and it does actually
sending out notification once I've done that....
 
But I want it to be myserver.mydomain.com instead 
any thoughts?

Subject: Bandwidth utilization (snmp / cisco router)
References: <6.0.0.8.2.20030717220619.0239b460@pop1.mail.com>
Message-ID: <bf8376$v6g$1@main.gmane.org>

Look into using apan.
http://apan.sourceforge.net

The net-usage example can be extended with cisco's formula.  HP Openview
also gives a similar formula to calculate bandwidth (as a percentage of the
interface's max rate).  The apan plugins are written in shell script, so
should be easy to modify.  If it works well, maybe contribute the changes
back to the apan project :)

Cheers

Hi Garry,

I seem to recall a similar problem myself in the distant past. From memory 
there was a problem with a MIB file in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/

I think I removed an offending mib that I had placed there and everything 
came right.....

Hi Jim,

Having syslog on the same host as nagios IMHO is a good idea. Faffing around 
with syslog's conf to copy the right messages to nagios_host syslog instead 
of a full move is an alternative. I assume you've looked at check_log2?

Message-ID: <1058514461.2200.69.camel@rh-possum>

Hi,

I am running rh9 fully patched on intel, and have just installed nagios.
I have set up the web config as per the suggestions in the doco, but am
having some problems with the authentication. 

I have included the 2 stanza's in the httpd.conf file, I have set up a
.htaccess file as recommended and then generated the htpasswd.users file
as well, containing the names that will be using this monitor. nagios
itself is working just fine. As a long time user of netsaint, it wasn't
such a hard jump, and now my karma is much happier. ;)

However, when I fire up the web interface, I get a message 
"It appears as though you do not  have permission ..." blah blah blah.

When I see the "Logged in as " string, it contains a ? , not a real
name. Is this the problem? I am starting up an IE6 session on a windows
2000 box to attempt the web connection. I am not asked to log into the
web interface, so what have I done wrong?

thanks, Gillian

Hi

I seem to remember someone posting recently that he/she wrote an event handler to log data (events/status) to a db (I think MySQL).  Could that someone, or anyone else who did anything similar, please send me a copy of the code.  

I've been looking through the archives but can't seem to find the relevant post.

Thanx

:)

leave localhost.localdomain in. add myservername.mydomain.com

so it's like this:
127.0.0.1       myservername.mydomain.com        localhost.localdomain

redhat right?

yep. ? is the problem.

you need to closely at the http conf and find the part that has stuff like 
allow, order etc.

you'll probably find that apache is acting too liberally at moment.

You need 'make distclean' and then run ./configure again -- 'make clean'
does not remove the cahed information about your system.

The first time that I attempted this, check_snmp was not compiled due to the fact that the configure script could not locate 'snmpget'. I had installed Net::SNMP perl module via CPAN, although I did not have the NET-SNMP package. I have since downloaded and installed NET-SNMP 5.0.8 and 'snmpget' and 'snmpgetnext' are both located in /usr/local/bin. Unfortunately, the nagios plugins configure script still does not compile the check_snmp plugin, and shows the same error message as before:

Subject: CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
Message-ID: <CDA8D2689259E444942B3CDED8DD9129620283@MBXSRV03.stf.nus.edu.sg>

Greetings,
 
I have successfully compiled nrpe 2.0b5 for Solaris 8 on both the Nagios
and remote hosts.  I am now setting up the nrpe on the Nagios host and
the remote host.
 
First I ran nrpe as a daemon on the remote host like this:
 
./nrpe -c nrpe.cfg -d
 
When I ran on the Nagios host with this command:
 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H remote_host -c check_load
 
I get this:
 
DISK OK [60955924 kB (35%) free on /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0]
 
This is fine.  However if on the remote host I configured nrpe to run
under inetd by setting the inetd.conf like this:
 
# nagios nrpe daemon (taken from a tip from Jordi Vidal)
nrpe            stream  tcp     nowait  nagios  /usr/local/nagios/nrpe
-- -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg -i
 
And when I run the above check_nrpe command I would get:
 
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
 
I have no idea why as I have not changed the nrpe.cfg file which
switching nrpe from daemon to inetd mode.
 
Thanks for any help rendered.

Chan Chee Seng

In the new nagios-2.0a1 the format of status.sav has changed (the name of
this file too, from .log -> .sav).

Here a patch if somebody want to use the plugins with 2.0a1.

Message-ID: <20030718131438.30929.qmail@linuxmail.org>

Dear Sirs,

    We are using a linux server running Nagios. From a windows 98 client there's no problem accessing Nagios. But from Linux clients, there's a problem. The problem is whenever we run Nagios on the browsers, Mozilla, Netscape the sound alarm as soon as it started goes on indefinitely. One linux workstation has a Redhat 9 installed. Please help...

    Thanks in advance....

I had the same problem upon installation of Nagios on a Red Hat 9 box.  Check the ownership and rights on the .htaccess files.  I assigned the nagios group and user as the owner of the files and made sure that Read rights were granted to the file accordingly.  This solved my problem.  Hope it helps.

Subject: escalations & vacations
Message-ID: <16152.2126.232076.754443@montanaro.dyndns.org>


How does Nagios handle inavailability of a contact, say, while out on
vacation?  I still have a lot of machines which aren't grouped together, so
haven't taken the time to set up chains of escalations for them, even though
a particular machine may have primary, secondary and tertiary contacts.

Let me make this more concrete.  Suppose I have a machine named logan with
three administrators, nick (primary), barry (secondary) and tom (tertiary).
Nick goes on vacation.  How should I handle that?  Aside from fiddling
things so that barry is primary, what can I do?  Is there some way to
structure the escalation information for that machine so that it is trivial
to adapt to the temporary change?

Thanks,

I swear I'm repeating myself. ;]

Every time someone brings up log monitoring, I've mentioned that using
passive notification through Nagios is a great idea, otherwise its the
wrong tool for the job.

My implementation is to forward all syslogs to a syslog server running
syslog-ng, with a directory hierarchy for host logs. See
www.campin.net.

Next up, use LogSentry or LogMuncher (which requires a patch) to apply
ignore/warn/critical dictionaries against the log files. Reports then
get mailed out to you with anything not in the ignore dictionary (to
handle messages you haven't seen before), anything in the warn
dictionary, and I mail crit entries to my pager. This could be
rerouted to Nagios via passive check, but I don't bother.

Subject: Slipping Schedule Queue
Message-ID: <48F26311AF9C9943926CA0CD204BC214BB09A8@nwa-srv-01.newworldapps.com>

Hi All,
	I've got a problem that seems to resemble some other issues people
have had here, but I'm not sure exactly what the 'correct' resolution is.
I've got a Nagios system (P3 500, 128Mb mem) checking 96 services on 43
hosts. This is a test bed system to make sure Nagios can replace our
existing system (a custom-job built around What's Up Gold). So far, Nagios
has been great, but we've got a problem with the scheduling queue slipping.
What I mean by this is that items in the scheduling queue wind up having a
'next check' date in the past, but have never been checked. 
	I think this problem may be related to our use of APAN to do
graphing (31 of the 96 services). The APAN service checks have a
"normal_check_interval" of a minute. I have a feeling this is making Nagios
run those checks more frequently, and push other checks off. I find this
strange, since I've set no limit to the number of simultaneous checks that
can run, and so I'd expect the scheduling queue to be followed. To test
this, I had been running even *more* APAN checks (74 of 139), and the queue
would wind up getting delayed by an hour or more. Strangely, a few of the
services that wind up behind schedule are the APAN checks, although it's
largely checks of network services that get delayed.
	This doesn't appear to be a hardware or network load problem, and
from what I've read in the list archives, this sort of thing can happen
independent of hardware load. 
	What then, is the way to get around this? We'd really like to keep
running APAN checks on most of our hosts to get longer term trend graphs. Is
there a different package that doesn't have this queue-hosing effect?
	Thanks.

Message-ID: <8F01360CDDF8F6438FA2F3D5396796FB8EDA44@zde008.lenze.com>

Hi all,

I'd like to set up nagios, so that each member of a contactgroup gets a call
on his mobile phone. I use vboxputty to do the work, which works OK. The
problem seems to be, that nagios tries to call all members of that contact
group at the same time. From the nagios log file:


[1058538003] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: thomas_call_work;eulep01;P01/saparch

etc.

I took a look at the source code and found, that for a notification
my_system() is called, which essentially forks() and executes the command
(vboxgetty in this case). vboxgetty does not wait (to my knowledge), if the
originator line is busy, but returns emmidiately with an error. So only one
contact of the contactgroup gets notified.

Is there a way to tweak nagios so, that each contact is notified in turn ?
Things look bad..I know...

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

A quick fix is to have nagios send email to a "callout" userid..

Then procmail or whatever mail filter you want to parse and vboxputty
Out..

The wonderful thing about mail programs is that they handle queueing and
serialization automagically..

You can even re-queue it if the phone is busy or fails for some reason!

Hope to help,
Mark

Hi,

I have a difficulty to understand something.

When a service (eg. ftp) is down, the host is down too. And then, when a
service comes UP, the host stay DOWN !

In my config file (hosts.cfg), I put check_command check-host-alive

How can I restore the process to up without restarting Nagios ?

Many servers have a firewall and can?t be ping, Can be the reason ?

Thanks for your help,

Joe

What I did (for different reasons - I wanted to bundle all notifications within
a time period, that way I could get dozens, not hundred of e-mails :) was to 
write a couple simple perl scripts, one takes nagios notification messages
(very like notify-by-email), and writes them to a spool.  The other takes
the spool and processes it.  That would allow the outside program to handle
the syncronization of the message delivery without having to worry about the
asyncrounous fork and forget nature of nagios.  The usual caveats about file 
locking and so forth apply.

Yes, this is likely the reason for your difficulty. As detailed in several places in the documentation and FAQ's, Nagios does not check host status until a service on that host fails. It assumes the host is up if a service on that host is up. That is why the host *appears* up until a service failure forces a check, which would fail because it's behind the firewall. All seems well until the service recovers and nagios attempts to check the host again but it is _still_ unable to successfully check the host because of the firewall so you end up with a weird, but accurate as far as nagios is concerned, view of your host and it's services with the services up but the host down (unreachable in this case). Here are a few possible solutions, some better than others --

1) Change your check-host-alive command to something that does work through the firewall.
2) Allow ICMP ping through the firewall to your destination host from your monitoring host.
3) Change your check-host-alive command to check_dummy and have it always return OK.

Subject: Jabber notification
Message-ID: <B6336D370EBD1647AD2A0F2FD434946B437921@top.jnpr.net>

I THINK I'm making progress with this. I've devised a slightly different
perl script which when run manually produces the correct jabber output.

	# ./test3.pl idavidso at jabber.company.net  "Test Message"
	We are connected to the server...
	We are disconnected from the server...
	[root at fangio ~/jabber-test]#

At this point a chat window appears with the message "Test Message" in.

However I can't work out what command_line is miscommands.cfg to put to
get an alert generated properly. I've setup a contact with a pager email
address (idavidso at jabber.company.net) which I'm hoping would appear as
$ARG[0].

I've tried...

	command_line    /usr/local/nagios/test3.pl $CONTACTPAGER$
"Service: $SERVICEDESC$, 	Host: $HOSTNAME$, State: $SERVICESTATE$,
Date: $DATETIME$"

...and also tried putting some stuff in manually...

	command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Nagios report" |
/usr/local/nagios/test3.pl 	idavidso at jabber.company.net "Test
Message"

...but absolutely nothing happens.

Here's the script...


#!/usr/bin/perl
#use strict;
use Net::Jabber qw(Client);
use Net::Jabber qw(Message) ;
use Net::Jabber qw(Protocol) ;
use Net::Jabber qw(Presence) ;

#These are the variables called later in the script
use constant RECIPIENT => $ARGV[0];
use constant SERVER    => 'jabber.company.net';
use constant PORT      => 5223;
use constant USER      => 'my-username';
use constant PASSWORD  => 'my-passwd';
use constant RESOURCE  => 'my-nickname';
use constant MESSAGE   => $ARGV[1];
use constant MAXWAIT   => 2 ;


my $len = scalar @ARGV;

#if there are no arguements given in the command, display the format
if ($len ne 2) {
   die "Usage...\n notify [jabberid] [message]\n";
}

my @field=split(/,/,$ARGV[0]);

$Con = new Net::Jabber::Client();

$Con->Connect(hostname=>"jabber.juniper.net",port=>5223,ssl=>1);

if ($Con->Connected()) {
print "We are connected to the server...\n";
}

# Verify authentication has occured correctly
my @result = $Con->AuthSend( "username" => USER,"password" =>
PASSWORD,"resource" => RESOURCE );
if ($result[0] ne "ok") {
 die "Ident/Auth with server failed: $result[0] - $result[1]\n";
}

#Send message
$Con->MessageSend(to=> RECIPIENT,
                  subject=>"Notification",
                  body=>MESSAGE,
                  type=>'chat',
                  thread=>"ABC123"
                  );



#my $message = Net::Jabber::Message->new();
#$message->SetMessage( "to"           => "icatlin at jabber.juniper.net",
#                      "subject"      => "Notification",
#                      "type"         => "chat",
#                      "body"         => MESSAGE);
#
#   $Con->Send($message);

sleep(MAXWAIT);

$Con->Disconnect();
print "We are disconnected from the server...\n";
exit;

Subject: How do I configure Nagios to send SNMP to HP Openview
Message-ID: <sf17ebf1.057@mail2.gmhwh.org>

I am very novice at this stuff and have no background with Perl scripting.  I have attempted to search for a possible example of a script and MIB for use with SNMP traps sent to Hp Openview, but have had little luck.
 
I use Openview as a central data collection station for all of my monitoring tools.  I just need to get the SNMP info from Nagios to Openview.  I realize that I must use Net-snmp or something similar, but I would appreciate any help that can be sent my way.
 
I run Nagios 1.1 on a Red Hat 9.0 installation.
 
Thanks,
 
Jeff

Subject: Problem with notifications
Message-ID: <69A217A1CAE65C4790FC44DD580FE5CFAEF6@fenrir.valhalla.heimdall.org>

We've been running Nagios on RedHat for a while now and everything was
working great with it until about 3 weeks ago when we started seeing
something very odd happening with our notifications. Both the
notify-by-email and notify-by-epager started sending out messages with
only a from address. No subject or message body is included. They are
getting to the right email addresses so variables are being passed but
that's it. Here is my notify-by-email from the misccommands.cfg file:

 

define command{

        command_name    notify-by-email

        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$"
| /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$
is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

        }

 

As you can see this is the same command that is in the sample and was
working before. Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening?

Thank You

Subject: 'parents' and network latency
Message-ID: <6.0.0.8.2.20030718183434.022b47d8@pop1.mail.com>

Hello,

Let's assume I have a "deep" network topology (with many parent hosts above 
the Nagios box), such as:

Nagios Server => Switch 01 => Switch 02 => Firewall => Packet Shaper => 
Router => ...

When the 'parents' directive is properly setup and "Switch 01" goes down, 
check-host-alive tells me it went down, and supresses notifications for all 
the other hosts.
Now, if "Switch 01" if heavely loaded and my fping service finds out it has 
a 500ms rta, all other hosts above it (switch 02, firewall etc) will have 
response times equal or bigger than 500ms.
My question is, in this scenario, how can I supress critical messages from 
the fping service regarding all other hosts which are slow because of 
switch 01 ? (having fping figure out that, since the host above it is slow, 
it doesn't need to notify me about all other hosts)
Perhaps this could be implemented in a future Nagios version (an option in 
nagios.cfg such as "apply_parents_directive_to_network_latency")

PS: This could be accomplished with service dependency (maybe?), but it 
wouldn't be practical since I would have to create several dependency 
checks for each parent host, which would make it really hard to maintain.

Hello Jeyri,

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
I didn't find it earlier because it isn't included with nagios-plugins.
This one should be included at least in the contrib dir.
Adrian (the script author), just wanted to let you know that you forgot to 
include the actual perl script in version 0.91b (I'm using the one from 0.90b).
By the way, your site and http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php only 
list v0.90b... are you publishing the script somewhere else? Maybe you 
could share this with the rest of us, since it looks very promising.

For the first, I have a tftp daemon that logs via syslog. A child sec
(invoked via the spawn action) watches the /var/adm/messages file, and
sends a message "jumpstart_in_progress_on_16_net" to the parent sec
that is handling the nagios alerts. This causes suppression of the
warnings until a target file is retrieved near the end of the
jumpstart which resets the context allowing the events to pass.

The last problem is handled by generating a 5 minute
HOSTNAME_REBOOTING context/flag when the reboot syslog message is
received.  The existance of this context enables a suppress rule that
gobbles all of the events for the rebooting device. After 5 minutes or
the arrival of a "system up" syslog entry, the context is
destroyed. If the host is still down nagios's next poll of the device
will cause sec to pass the events to nagios for reporting.

The HTTP index program is started from a shell script that sends a
trap when the indexing operation starts and stops.

One way to handle it is to store the start and stop times for the
event in a context's event store using the add command with %u (the
current time as number of seconds since Jan 1 1970).  Then report
these to an external shell script, and have it subtract them to get
duration of the outage. With the ability to trigger perl programs, you
could probably do it all within sec and remove the need for an
external program.

Correct.

Almost. It may or may not be correlated by Sec. It's just that you
want the initial report to be recorded in/acted on by Nag. Sec may
still clear the event.

Correct.

Correct.

Exactly. However, it looks like I don't have that quite down in my
code yet. I sometimes have services dropping into an unknown state
when sec is suppressing a report, but I am not sure why.

Yes. It will usually submit the OK state, but there is no requirement
for that. Maybe this is where the unknown state is coming from? Is
there a default "freshness" on polled items that results in an unknown
state?

I agree with this. It could be generalized to allow diversion of the
plugin's report to an arbitrary file/pipe/program in addition to or
instead of sending it to nagios.

Another network monitoring package that I use has no method of
intercepting the events between the time they are generated and the
time they are acted upon by the core.  This leads to a lot of useless
event traffic running through the system.

I currently use a subroutine call in sec_filter to lock the sec input
file so I don't screw up the data. This is probably unnecessary since
the size of the data is small enough that it should be an atomic
write, but I prefer to be safe. However sec_filter would probably have
to be modified to be embedded perl safe.

Hmm, will that work, does require keep it in the same name/function
space? Also the sec_filter would have to be rewritten to detect that
it is running a perl script, and require it's argument. Currently
sec_filter can run any nagios plugin. I think this is an argument for
putting the diversion mechanism in the core.

>3 I like the bit about making Sec processing optional (depending on the 
>  options specified to sec_filter)

I see two uses for optional processing:

  you may want use the plugin output to affect correlation of other
  services and not have itself processed/correlated by sec (as you
  mention above). This allows service, cluster and other dependencies
  to be implemented in sec rather then in nagios.

  Triggering Nag's event handlers (especially in soft state). While
  you can run commands from Sec as well, the soft/hard state and
  number of calls is handled better from Nagios. These event handlers
  can be written to provide additional info to sec. It will result in
  flapping (flipping) service states as nagios and sec disagree about
  the state of the service, but with properly set retries, and
  nagios's soft and hard states it may be useful.

I haven't seen any signs of interest from the Nagios developer(s). I'm
not even sure of they are interested in/know of this patch. As I said
I still have a few issues to work out, and I think the developer(s)
could do a cleaner implementation of my patch to add the ignore OK and
ignore ERROR functionality. Obvious to implement this in the core
would be something that the developers would need to be involved in
since it is a larger job than I have done.

Your remarks are correct. I'll try to pull the patches and things
together in the next couple of weeks. It's still got that annoying
unknown state issue, but it doesn't look like I will be able to do
more work on it.

The funny part is that sec was written as a lower cost alternative to
HPOV's correlation engine. I have had at least one report that it is
easier to use then HPOV's commercial tool.

Ian,
	Sorry to take till today to respond; been busy with the
Cisco IOS vulnerability issue. Guess you being at juniper.net you
can only smile...

Here is my misccommands.cfg entry:
# 'notify-by-jabber' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-jabber
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "Service: $SERVICEDESC$, Host:
$HOSTNAME$, State: $SERVICESTATE$, Date: $DATETIME$" |
/usr/local/nagios/notify-by-jabber.pl
        }

My script, notify-by-jabber.pl, sends a message to the "message of the
day" as opposed to your script which sends a message to a single user.
Not being real good on the jabber server side so please excuse the
lame question, but would you know how to send a message to a paticular
conference room? Or is there such a thing as a alias or group of users
on a jabber server? Reason I wasn't wanting to send to individual users
is I thought it would error out if the user my script was sending to
wasn't logged into the jabber server at the time the script fired off.

Also, would rather send 1 message to all on the jabber server, instead of
10 to 20 messages to all of the people who may be logged into the jabber
server.

I eamiled my notify-by-jabber.pl script to this list earlier, but can send
it to you if you missed it or need to see it again.

					Thanks Ian,
						Fred

We monitor globally dispersed systems, and some of the more extreme
locations have really bad network connections.
We implemented Nagios it this way, which may be helpful to try in your
situation.

I increased the critical threshold on the check_ping (lets say Switch01 is
in Siberia and recieves bad pings all the time, so I make it use
check_ping!1500,50%,2500,75%)  Then, use Switch01's check_ping service as
the template name for each of the  children's service check commands.
They'll all inherit the tuned ping thresholds.

Message-ID: <200307192047.15870.renaud_paquay@skynet.be>

Hi everyone,

I'm having troubles installing nagios 1.1 on my RedHat 9.0

I typed ./configure and everything seemed to be all right,
then I writed make all as told in the INSTALLING file and everything compiled 
correctly.
But when I executed the make install command, I had an error message:

[root at localhost nagios-1.1]# make install
cd ./base && make install
make[1]: Entre dans le r?pertoire `/DATA/nagios-1.1/base'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 775 -o nagios -g nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/bin

Well, if these were written in Python or Perl I'd suggest you look in your
web server's error log for a traceback.  You might still look to see if the
CGI script printed something to stderr before bailing out.

Just a wild ass guess: If your CGI scripts are dynamically linked, make sure
the CGI environment contains the information necessary to find the various
shared libraries (LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf+ldconfig, etc).

Message-ID: <6CA85554A071E54FAE763836FA1CD74411A32C@mail-be.giantloop.com>

I have one host that fails check_ping when configure in a service group with 10 other hosts in nagios server. The 10 other hosts return a OK status. From the command line with the same arguments check_ping returns a OK status on the host that fails.

This host does live behind a firewall but it seems to me that since its works fine from the command line then it should work from the nagios detail page. What am I missing hear?

Subject: host notification only if multiple hosts critical?
Message-ID: <172b01c34e95$b4bdb110$bc7ba8c0@psyduck>

Hello,

Is it possible to configure a notification only if multiple hosts or
services are in critical? For example, send notification only if host_a AND
host_b AND host_c are in critical? I've found variations of this question
posted to the mailing list, but no answer. Is there a better way than to
write a custom plugin that does all of the logic within the plugin?

Thanks.

Subject: Some questions before switching to nagios
Message-ID: <1058691668.19592.35.camel@razor.rectanus.net>

Hello,
  I am currently monitoring our systems here with mon.  As we are
expanding our systems and services, mon is getting too complex to
maintain.  Nagios looks like a nice alternative, but at first glance, I
see a limitation in what can be returned from a plugin.  It seems that
only a single line of output is read from the plugin.  This seems very
limiting to me.  Currently, with mon, I get both a summary (one line)
and details (as many lines as you want, in any format).  For example,
for a disk freespace problem, I would get a summary of say 'hostname
disk freespace low' and a detail listing the filesystems with problems. 
Another example would be a load problem: sumarry: 'hostname has high
load', and the detail would list the load and the top 10 processes at
the time of measurment with their cooresponding CPU/mem usage.  This is
very useful as our pagers would get the simple summary and you could
check your email or the mon web page for the details.

I did a quick search in the FAQ and archives, but did not turn up
anything overly intersting on this subject.  For me this is a required
feature and I cannot imagine why such a limitation would be imposed, so
my first thought is that I must be overlooking something.

So, my questions are: Is this truly a limitation with nagios?  If it is,
the is there a way to work around this?  If need be, is there intrest in
this feature being added to nagios (by me) and would a patch be
accepted?

Thanks,
-Brian

You already get all this data in the summary line of check_disk.

Check_load does not return this info. Check_cpu is not a core plugin,
and also does not provide this info. But either could provide several
processes in the return string if they chose to, on one line of course.

It would be a simpe matter to place a filter before the mail client to
reformat some special token as a "\n"

Is it part of the current design? Yes. Is it a limitation? Depends on
your perspective, I guess, but I'll go out on a limb and agree with you,
albeit I think it is smaller than you suggest.

> If it is, is there a way to work around this?

None that I know of.

> If need be, is there intrest in this feature being added to

To patch the system, nagios would need to accept more data. IIRC, in the
2.0 version currently in devlopment, the way nagios accepts messages
from plugins has been changed so much larger data segmants can be
managed. So the sort of extension you suggest maybe could be done.

Of course, the plugins themselves would also need to produce this
extended data. As a plugin maintainer, I would support adding this as a
standard option to the plugins. I also feel that it should be an option
because some peaple may be heavily optimizing their performance, and may
not want the bandwidth penalty (imagine an install that has a modom as a
failover interface, for instance - bandwidth might matter)

Subject: Monitoring a (squid) proxy
Message-ID: <046901c34ec8$e164ef20$8701a8c0@descom.local>

Hello out there,

I am trying to monitor our proxy using nagios. I would like to retrieve a page
through the proxy in order to make shure everything works fine. 
We use squid as proxy.

I tried check_http and check_tcp but neither gave me the result I hoped to get.

Did anyone manage monitoring a page through a proxy? 
Is there another check mechanism around for that purpose?

Thank you and regards,
Claus

login as the nagios user and try running it from the command line from
there.  Maybe something in your environment that the script needs to set for
itself?  I'm not familiar with the vicq application, but make sure it works
in the nagios user's environment too.

Subject: Nagios limitation on size of PLUGINOUPUT.
In-Reply-To: <E19eRBS-00089K-00@sc8-sf-list2.sourceforge.net>; from nagios-users-request@lists.sourceforge.net on Sun, Jul 20, 2003 at 08:16:46PM -0700

Dear Sir,

I am writing to supplement Mr De Bisschops answer about this and say,

> From: Brian Rectanus <Brian.Rectanus at vt.edu>
> To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net

> It seems that only a single line of output is read from the plugin.  
> This seems very limiting to me.

and so it did to me once upon a time.

However, the people who get alerted by Nagios at this site do _not_
want or expect Nag to diagnose the problem for them.

All they want is to be alerted to 

. the problems existance

. the rough location of the problem (in 'this' service for example).

and then they dive in and use the problem solving techniques that work 
best for them.

So while I ran Netsaint and Nag for a while with a local patch that 
would read the plugin ouput to eof (very trivial patch to checks.c), I 
no longer think it worthwhile to maintain the patch and the risk of it's 
side effects.

So, while such a patch is feasable and easy, however as Mr De Bisschop
has noted, it is best left as an option because of the performance hit.

Nagios performance (being able to poll vast numbers of services in a
timely manner) is probably more important to most Nag users than the
amount of fault information it returns.

But don't listen to someone who is not the Nagios developer: send your
patch to Nagios-devel.

Yours sincerely.

Hello out there, 
I am trying to monitor our proxy using nagios. I would like to retrieve a page 
through the proxy in order to make shure everything works fine. 
We use squid as proxy. 
I tried check_http and check_tcp but neither gave me the result I hoped to get. 
Did anyone manage monitoring a page through a proxy? 
Is there another check mechanism around for that purpose? 
Thank you and regards, 
Claus

Hi 

Have a look at host dependency - 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/dependencies.html. 
Perhaps you may want to set up a dummy parent host.

Thanks in advance...The permission for /nagios-07-19-2003-00.log/is the 
same, 777!
I've controlled my configuration files  but I don't know to find the error.

Subject: UPS in a network
Message-ID: <037401c34f8a$7ddf8e70$8701a8c0@descom.local>

Hello,

I have another question ...
I have 2 UPS's in the network that I introduced as host and
these ping fine. Then I found the check_ups plugin that can 
talk to the "Newtork UPS Tools" of http://www.exploits.org/nuts/
But it seems that the NUTS speak only to UPSs connected to a serial port :-(

Is there anyone that managed to get more information that just 
ping of an UPS? Mine is an APEC SMART UPS.

Thanx and regards,
Claus

You might want to check how often you're rotating your logs. I had a 
similar problem. I set the rotation to monthly, then back to weekly. While 
trying to browse through the weekly logs, I would get the same error. It 
was because that particular week didn't exist...

NIS on my Redhat 8 server.  When NIS is started only one of my Windows

started my Compaq RAID disk checks (3 instances of such) bombs out on a
Compaq server.  All the other Compaq Windows servers have the same check
(different OID though) and are working fine.  I have updated my plugins,
NSClient and the Compaq management agents.  If I walk the MIB tree with
a third party app I can see the check and display the results.  If I use
check_snmp on the command line in Redhat 8 it does not come back with
any results - just the error message that it can't locate the snmp data.
What does NIS have to do with the RAID check_snmp check on one type of
server???????

Nagios ver 1.0 Nov 24, 2002

I've got some disturbing behavior, my nagios logs are empty for days at
a time, all of them, Event, Notifications, alert history etc.  They seem
to delete whenever the day rolls over...  I can see all of today's
events but not the past 3-4 days.  the logs are empty, not even the
hourly "auto save of retension date completed successfully" 

Any ideas as to what is going on here or where I should look?

thanks,

another way to get the return status is 
$ echo $?

ex : 
$ ls /eoau
$ echo $?
1

yet another way (coolest !) is to use zsh 
and a prompt like this :
export PROMPT="$(echo '%B%(?..[%?] )%b%n@%U%m%u> ')" 

xavier=RBUIKZetp+8 at public.gmane.org> ls /eoau                                                     
ls: /eoau: No such file or directory
[1] xavier=RBUIKZetp+8 at public.gmane.org>


that way the return value is always printed in the prompt
if different from 0.

Subject: "Easier" tool for Nagios configuration (to the customer)
Message-ID: <20030721145113.15072.qmail@linuxmail.org>

Wich one is the most useful and pratical tool for Nagios configuring, through a web interface, or something like that? Soon, when I leave my customer it will be useful for him.
I've tried Nagmin (but it doesn't change the config files directly, just in the 'nagios' base in MySQL, right?), I tried NagiosWeb (but it was extremely don't recommended) and finally I discover recently Nagat. Which one is the most viable?

Thanks!

Has anyone been successful in sending login strings (-s switch) through
check_tcp, for example sending a username and password to a ftp server or
pop server and using the expect (-e) switch to check the status? I'd like to
eliminate our interpreted ftp and pop plugins, but I can't seem to get
check_tcp to function in this manner properly. It may just be a limitation
with check_tcp. If so, I'll just continue doing what I'm doing now.

i am trying to use mysql to maintain nagios comments status etc, but , for example ,     when i create the tables into the database mysql complains because i dont know what names are for each column for example


mysql>use nagios
Database changed
mysql> create table servicedowntime;
ERROR 1113: A table must have at least 1 column
mysql>

then  i supose to guess 

mysql> create table servicedowntime(servicedowntime   varchar(20) not null);

but i didnt find anything related to because i configured cgi.cfg and resource.cfg and compiled nagios with mysql support

I also can do this with 'ping', to send only one packet.
But look at the statistics (from NTop):

Network Traffic: Total Data (Sent+Received)
Host: gerenciamento
Data: 105,8 MB / 40,1 % from total traffic analyzed
TCP: 24,0 MB
UDP: 1,6 MB
ICMP: 79,6 MB

Being measured since July 18, from now. And maybe I mismatch the values (~14 MB in a day). Sorry! :)
But the values above are for all the hosts being checked (total: 95 hosts).

If I didn't make myself clear about all the situation, let me know.

Thanks

Subject: checking if a custom service is running?
Message-ID: <20030721170716.91271.qmail@mail.com>

Hi there...

I am really unsure if this is hard or easy or how to go about accomplishing this...

I run a particular service on a Linux server,  sessmgr,  and I am wondering how to get something that would check to see that it was running.

Is the best way to do this to write a new plugin?   I am pretty much a programming newbie,  having about 15 hours of python scriupting to my name thus far.  Would python be inappropriate to use to write a plugin?

IS the best way to do so to parse the output of ps -axu | grep sessmgr?

Or even simpler still,  ps -aux | grep -c sessmgr,  where any non-zero response is a critical failure?



I guess I want to know if someone might have already invented this wheel and published something that I could adapt to the purpose before I go about building one myself.


TIA

Nemir

Subject: Statusmap logical organization
Message-ID: <20030721174347.22124.qmail@linuxmail.org>

I configured the 'parents' directive like the documentation tells me to do ("Parent hosts are typically routers, switches, firewalls, etc. that lie between the monitoring host and a remote hosts...")

But if I do it like this, things don't go right when I am using the "User-supplied coords" layout method. The structure of my network seems completely wrong. So, I changed as many as I could the 'parents' directives, reaching the layout I want, the real look my network has.

My question is, is this right? Or should I keep the right parents in hosts.cfg?

Thank you.

Subject: Orphaned checks kill Nagios
Message-ID: <20030721180218.GA10811@xmission.com>

Hello,

I am seeing a problem with Nagios wherin enabling
check_for_orphaned_services causes the list of nagios procs to grow
uncontrollably until the box dies.

When the orphaned services check is enabled, hundreds of warnings will 
appear that indicate that Nagios is rescheduling checks for orphaned 
services. It would appear that enabled the check for orhphaned services 
does not respect the max_concurrent_checks setting. Is this the desired 
behavior? 

I am primarily using NRPE to do remote checks, we have about 600 checks 
done this way.

Has anybody else seen this behavior or can anybody comment on possible 
fixes?

I hope I'm not attempting to re-create the wheel, but I was going to put
together a page where I could schedule multiple hosts or services for
downtime without having to go through the screen one at a time.  My
question is, how do I get at the variables that the compiled CGI scripts
use for who is currently logged in?  The C programs use a variable
called 'com_author' and was wondering how I could get it.  For this
script I plan to use PHP, but that should matter.

I am running nagios1.0 on freebsd and it is generating thousands of
embedded temp files in my /tmp directory.  Anyone have any idea why I am
getting theses.

	If your SMART UPS has an SNMP process running, you can use 
check_apc_ups.pl which is in the contrib directory in the nagios plugins 
distribution. I'm using that script and it works quite well. It even 
reports the time remaining on battery.

Subject: A question about webserver checks
Message-ID: <20030721165846.25695.qmail@mail.com>

hiya.


I am running a webserver with several websites all running from the same IP Address,  and this has got me to thinking 'bout how the check http(s) job works...   Potentially the third website on the list may fail while the other 9 are running along like a train.  Is it possible for the agent to determine if one single site went down,  rather than the entire apache (or IIS for that matter) service?

TIA

Subject: Losing Servers/Services
Message-ID: <1058815685.14100.557.camel@unixgod.hq.nasa.gov>

Server: Solaris 7, Apache 1.3.20, Ben-SSL/1.44, Nagios 1.1, Plug-ins
1.3.1

Workstation1: Solaris 7, Netscape 4.77
Workstation2: Mandrake 9.1, Mozilla 1.3.1
Workstation3: Windows 200, IE 6.0.2800.1106

Problem: The number of hosts and services change with Service Detail and
Host Detail refreshes. Hosts/Services I've removed are still ghosting
around.

First I added the print queues (etc/printers.cfg) after whipping up a
smbclient shell script. The number of services in Service Detail and
Host Detail changed from 609 to 139 and it appeard that the printers
weren't being monitored any more.

After a bunch of warnings were e-mailed to me so I set
active_checks_enabled=0.

Second I had 13 or so hosts that were not production systems so didn't
need to be monitored. I created a new template; generic-service-down and
set active_checks_enabled=0. I changed the use line in each of the down
servers.

Third, when I got in this morning there were some 5,000 e-mails waiting
for me. About 4,500 of them were status checks from the printers and the
disabled servers. I removed printers.cfg from nagios.cfg.

Fourth I added a new server this morning and just had a PING service. I
also removed the 13 disabled hosts from hostgroups, hosts and services.
I commented out all of the printers but one and added printers.cfg back
in to nagios.cfg.

When I bring up the 3d status map, the new server is grayed out and says
no information is available. Clicking on the grayed out server will
refresh the information on 3d status map.

The status.sav file had the new server in it but not in status.log.
After a few minutes, it rolled out of the status.sav file.

If I refresh the Service Detail or Host Detail page, the new server will
show up but after the auto-refresh, the number of hosts/services dropps
from 115/119 to 114/117. In a few minutes it drops to 112/115.

I've flushed the disk/memory cache from my browsers and just like the
refresh, the first page is ok but following refreshes will drop the
number of servers/services down.

I'm getting down in the dirt on this and figure this is about the time
to post a query.

Thanks in advance.

Carl

You have multiple copies of nagios running. Stop all of them then
restart nagios.

I might recommend against this.  I was considering using using a
postgresql db to maintain a cluster of nagios systems that we have
running on multiple networks and have them all report to the same
system, but when you read the nagios 2 doc's, db support is going to be
pulled out.  So if I ever upgrade to 2.0 I will have to ditch the db
anyway.  I might recommend just staying with the text files method.

just my 2 cents...

doh [slaps forehead]. And I've seen other messages here but didn't
connect it.

I guess I'll have to stop "/etc/init.d/nagios restart" and stop, verify,
start from now on.

Thanks, it seems to be working now.

Subject: check_ifstatus timeout problem
Message-ID: <F148F49435FA57408CC95EF69DFD4E5316F10D@golden-m.mactec.com>

Using check_ifstatus v.1.3 I'm seeing timeouts from some of my routers.
The error reported is:

ERROR: No snmp response from 10.1.222.1. (alarm timeout)

My question is this, how do I increase the timeout value for this
plugin?

As a temporary workaround I've commented out the timeout code
completely:

# Just in case of problems, let's not hang Nagios

#$SIG{'ALRM'} = sub {
#     print ("ERROR: No snmp response from $hostname (alarm
timeout)\n");
#     exit $ERRORS{"UNKNOWN"};
#};
#alarm($TIMEOUT);

Although I'm guessing that this was added for good reason and should
probably be left in.

Subject: [Nagios-users] checking if a custom service is running?

Hi there...

I am really unsure if this is hard or easy or how to go about
accomplishing this...

I run a particular service on a Linux server,  sessmgr,  and I am
wondering how to get something that would check to see that it was
running.

Is the best way to do this to write a new plugin?   I am pretty much a
programming newbie,  having about 15 hours of python scriupting to my
name thus far.  Would python be inappropriate to use to write a plugin?

IS the best way to do so to parse the output of ps -axu | grep sessmgr?

Or even simpler still,  ps -aux | grep -c sessmgr,  where any non-zero
response is a critical failure?



I guess I want to know if someone might have already invented this wheel
and published something that I could adapt to the purpose before I go
about building one myself.


TIA

Nemir

Permissions are fine, disk space is plentiful..  Is this perhaps a bug

Hmm, you've stumped me. I can think of work-arounds but I cannot think of 
a
direct way to do this within Nagios.

-You could add another contact and into contacts.cfg.
Contact1: jlancaster
Contact2: jlancaster-pager
I would then define different host and service notification options for
each. Personally, I never envisioned needing this but it's a major
limitation on Nagios templates and in my current database implementation.
Doh.

-You could also write a wrapper for the pager notification command and
search the $HOSTSTATE$ variable for critical notifications.

-Additionally, you could take the second workaround a step further and
create a more advanced contact notification module. I know I have seen
discussions with regards to the development and use of more advanced
notification systems before on this list.

You might want to post a followup to your first post reiterating what you
said to me below. (You're welcome to post what I wrote too)

Let me know what you come up with.

That appears to be a setting for notifying only when host is in a 
particular
state.  I want to know when the warning states occur but I only want them
emailed, I do not want to be paged.  I only want to be paged when it is
critical.

Yes, this type of functionality defined in the contacts.cfg
service_notification_options and host_notification_options. Read

I want to have nagios only page people when services or hosts are 
critical,
I only want email when they are in a warning state.

Subject: notification escalation...?
Message-ID: <20030722032448.20931.qmail@mail.com>

Hi there.  

I understand that I can set notifications to recur at the notification interval.  This is good.

I am wondering if I can take this one step further and escalate the notification if the hard non-OK state is not resolved within a certain period,  e.g, one hour?


if it isn't presently implemented,  could it be?


thanks and regards,

nemir

OK...

I just started using Nagios last week and find it to be FANTASTIC. Even I know the answer to this one.

RTFM!!!

Services - http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service

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

Notifications - http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html

This information is in the referenced documentation. Please read it before just bailing out to the list.

Hi guys

I tried upgrading to the new nrpe 2.0 and have problems configuring it to pass

In nrpe.cfg: 
command[check_users]=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_users -w $$ARG1$ -c $$ARG2$

Testing from command line:

 # /usr/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xx.xx.xx.xx -c check_users -a 3 5
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for 
error messages.

Logs say:

Hi,

How to set Nagios to notify me with critical when host is down and set notification 'green' ;-) when host is up?
I set to 'check-host-alive' with max_check_attempts=10. So it works, host is turned green. What shoul I set to turn it green when it's up again?

That's probably the double $$ signs in front of the ARG's

Try removing one of them and see how you go.

is /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ in your search path when you configure?

You may also need to 'make distclean'

If your system is looks like a typical RedHat 9 sustem, the RPMs should
work - configure is run when the RPM is made. (If I let my system look
unlike a RedHat 9 system, that will also cause problems, since I made
the binary RPMs.)

You can also rum 'rpmbuild -ta nagios-plugins-1.3.1.tar.gz to make your
own RPMs.

The problem described does not have a work-around listed on any of those pages -- they are general references for basic configuration and information on how nagios works. What the original post stated and what I obliviously missed as well, was the fact that they wanted different rules to govern the pager notification than the email notification. Nagios' host and service notification_options filters globally for both email and pager notifications.

The only true workaround would be to build a more advanced add-on to Nagios to handle notifications based on additional filters. I've seen talk of other notification apps around here...

  OK...

  I just started using Nagios last week and find it to be FANTASTIC. Even I know the answer to this one.

  RTFM!!!

  Services - http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service

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

  Notifications - http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html

  This information is in the referenced documentation. Please read it before just bailing out to the list.

    Hmm, you've stumped me. I can think of work-arounds but I cannot think of a
    direct way to do this within Nagios.

    -You could add another contact and into contacts.cfg.
    Contact1: jlancaster
    Contact2: jlancaster-pager
    I would then define different host and service notification options for
    each. Personally, I never envisioned needing this but it's a major
    limitation on Nagios templates and in my current database implementation.
    Doh.

    -You could also write a wrapper for the pager notification command and
    search the $HOSTSTATE$ variable for critical notifications.

    -Additionally, you could take the second workaround a step further and
    create a more advanced contact notification module. I know I have seen
    discussions with regards to the development and use of more advanced
    notification systems before on this list.

    You might want to post a followup to your first post reiterating what you
    said to me below. (You're welcome to post what I wrote too)

    Let me know what you come up with.

    That appears to be a setting for notifying only when host is in a particular
    state.  I want to know when the warning states occur but I only want them
    emailed, I do not want to be paged.  I only want to be paged when it is
    critical.

Subject: nrpe giving garbled information in status info
Message-ID: <3141728682r.ford@pindar.com>

Hopefully somebody will be able to help?

I have installed Nagios 1.1 on a Sun 220R running Solaris 8, so far it is working really well and I have it monitoring public services on a number of servers.

I am keen to start monitoring various private services and have installed the nrpe 1.8 client, I have looked through the various help files and forums and I'm pretty sure I have it running correctly.  If I run 

./check_nrpe - H eris -p 5666 it gives me a version

If I run...

./check_nrpe -H eris -p 5666 -c rootdisk
x??????U?h - this is what I get

I am running nrpe as a daemon and I have tried installing version 2 but couldn't get it to compile.

All the private plugins work fine when I run them locally on my nagios server.  The servers are on the same LAN and there are no firewalls in between.

I have looked through the maliing-lists and a couple of people have had the same problem, but haven't mentioned any resolution

Can anyone help me?

Regards
Rob

Perhaps the OP had already RTFM'd.  It wasn't obvious to me how to go about
doing this after looking at the docs you referenced.  I see mentions of lots
of filters which the notification must pass through, but nothing jumps out
at me as a way to establish a filter so that I am paged only if the event is
critical, but sent email for warnings and critical events.

Subject: Shedule Checking a Group together
Message-ID: <017d01c35057$f9c10820$6a01a8c0@arcom1>

hello list,

i'm quite new to nagios and i have a problem with is not described in the
manual or faq.
is it possible to force nagios to do all checks for a hostgroup within a few
seconds? the background is that i'm monitoring some remote servers via isdn
dialup line. the check should be done every hour an all checks should be
done with in 20 or 30 seconds to prevend our router to dial up to often.

is there a solution to do this. if not i have to setup a further nagios
server within the remote network.

2. problem is the ping test via the isdn dial up line. is it possible to
ignore the fist 2 pings, to let the route establish the connection?

thank you
andreas husemann

I got this while I had the nrpe-based check running on the server, but no
check_whatever script was present on the machine that was supposed to be
running it.  Replace check_whatever with whatever the script in nrpe.cfg
is called for rootdisk service...

Yes, that's what I mean.  You're 101% sure it's in the place you say it
is, is executable, and spits out non-gibberish when you run it on the
target machine, right?

I disagree.

I think the answer is there and can be easily done.

i.e.

define contact{
	contact_name				steve-pager
	alias						Steve's pager
	service_notification_period		24x7
	host_notification_period		24x7
	service_notification_options		c
	host_notification_options		d
	service_notification_commands		notify-by-pager
	host_notification_commands		host-notify-by-pager
	pager
555-5555 at steves.pager.gateway.tld
	}

define contact{
	contact_name				steve-email
	alias						Steve's email
	service_notification_period		24x7
	host_notification_period		24x7
	service_notification_options		w,u,c,r
	host_notification_options		d,u,r
	service_notification_commands		notify-by-email
	host_notification_commands		host-notify-by-email
	email						steve at email.tld
	}



I think you want an easier way to do it. I would agree that probably could
be easier.

I'm of the mind that posting to a list for advice on FREE software should be
done only when a bug is found or when the documentation lacks any solution.

Just my 2c

Hmm, you've stumped me. I can think of work-arounds but I cannot think of a
direct way to do this within Nagios.

-You could add another contact and into contacts.cfg.
Contact1: jlancaster
Contact2: jlancaster-pager
I would then define different host and service notification options for
each. Personally, I never envisioned needing this but it's a major
limitation on Nagios templates and in my current database implementation.
Doh.

-You could also write a wrapper for the pager notification command and
search the $HOSTSTATE$ variable for critical notifications.

-Additionally, you could take the second workaround a step further and
create a more advanced contact notification module. I know I have seen
discussions with regards to the development and use of more advanced
notification systems before on this list.

You might want to post a followup to your first post reiterating what you
said to me below. (You're welcome to post what I wrote too)

Let me know what you come up with.

That appears to be a setting for notifying only when host is in a particular
state.  I want to know when the warning states occur but I only want them
emailed, I do not want to be paged.  I only want to be paged when it is
critical.

I want to have nagios only page people when services or hosts are critical,
I only want email when they are in a warning state.

Subject: Changing statusmap.cgi
Message-ID: <F148F49435FA57408CC95EF69DFD4E5316F11E@golden-m.mactec.com>

It's been requested that I make the icons in statusmap.cgi larger, so
that they can be viewed from across the room on a 42" flatpanel in the
NOC. This was relatively simple, I just changed the scaling factor in
statusmap.c, recompiled the cgis, and copied statusmap.cgi to the sbin/
directory.
Now I've had a request to make the icons change color when a host is
down. This looks to be a little more difficult. Looking through
statusmap.c, I can see the code that causes the links to change color,
although I don't think this would be feasible with pre-cooked images.
However, if I created images such as router_blue.png and router_red.png,
it probably wouldn't be to hard to code in the changes to switch between
images based on the status of the host, right?
This is definitely beyond me, perhaps someone else has already done such
a thing, or is right now thinking 'Oh yeah, that's easy enough to do.'?

Hi,

I am pretty new to Linux . I had installed Nagios on Redhat and had it
working but had to shift to Gentoo. Once I have shifted , the external
commands are not working . Everytime I try to submit it gives TCP error
/communication problem . Have checked and found that Apache is running under
"nagios" and have configured the permissions on "rw" accordingly but it does
not work .. if anyone has any suggestions .. it would be great . I also
compared the configs of httpd.conf ( in redhat) and apache.conf ( in gentoo)
and they r the same ...

Thanks 
Indrani

hm that should have been (not?)

command[rootdisk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/.../...

is you try the command /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /
on the client what do you get?

mine looks like this:

command[check_disk_system]=/usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 15% -c 5% --partition=/dev/ds k/c0t0d0s0

Hi,

I have a service that has a scheduled maintenence
period from 1am-4am.  During this maintenence period,
I still want notifications to go out but only to a
certain contact, not the normal contact.  Then when
the maintenence period is over, I want it to go back
to normal.

Right now, I am accomplishing this with two services. 
I want to consolidate them into 1:

I have two timeperiods for this piece:
define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name nonmaintenence
        alias           Non-Maintenence Period
        sunday          00:00-01:00,04:15-23:59
        monday          00:00-01:00,04:15-23:59
        tuesday         00:00-01:00,04:15-23:59
        wednesday       00:00-01:00,04:15-23:59
        thursday        00:00-01:00,04:15-23:59
        friday          00:00-01:00,04:15-23:59
        saturday        00:00-01:00,04:15-23:59
        }

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name maintenence
        alias           Maintenence Period
        sunday          01:00-04:15
        monday          01:00-04:15
        tuesday         01:00-04:15
        wednesday       01:00-04:15
        thursday        01:00-04:15
        friday          01:00-04:15
        saturday        01:00-04:15
        }

Here are my services:
define service{
        use                            
generic-service
        host_name                       foows01

        }

>From this information, you can see that I am sending
the notifications to different groups based on the
service being ran.   Basically, I want to send out
notifications based on the timeperiod....is this
possible?

Thanks!

Subject: Standard Nagios Load AVG?
Message-ID: <3F1D7D3E.1000804@neonova.net>

I've got Nagios up and running on a Dual PIII 1.2 system with 1gig RAM.
I'm currently monitoring about 200 hosts with 1000 services.  The load 
on this server varies anywhere from 5.00 to 198.00 (highest I've 
witnessed it) with a 20 minute average of around 40.00.  As I've not 
seen anyone else on the list mention their respective load averages on 
their boxen I was just wondering if this was normal.

Thanks,
Jeff

I think the problem is that the manual covers the answer, but doesn't give 
example configs. That's what someone like me needs to help out. It would 
probably help everyone who uses the stuff - we're all very busy, and if we 
can save 30 minutes for everyone in learning how to do something, that's 
worth a few hours up front.

Message-ID: <5F29693503507B4FB4032686ADF862671ACFCA@mtviny25.mtvi.com>

I am running a distributed environment (one collector with 2 slaves
using nsca).  I have over 300 hosts and 2600 service checks.  The
servers are about the same specs as yours... my load never goes above
1.00 on any of the hosts.  Before I added a second slave I did have load
issues on the collector which was doing both active and passive
checks... this resulted from stale nagios processes after a restart.
When you restart nagios do you check for stale processes that need to be
killed?

Subject: Web based configuration tools for Nagios is online now
Message-ID: <sf1d525a.097@gw.fxcm.com>

Hi group,
    I have mentioned in  last week about the web based configuration tool I created for my company.  I got some people showing interest, so I took the time to separate it out from my company's intranet and make it stand alone. 

    I have to say this first tho.  The tool was designed for my company's nagios implementation.  The scripts I designed probably would NOT work right out of the box for you(Instruction for modifying is on the site).  I setup a forum on the site so you can post your question and suggestion, I'll try my best to accomodate people's request.

So, here it is:

Hi there.  

I understand that I can set notifications to recur at the notification interval.  This is good.

I am wondering if I can take this one step further and escalate the notification if the hard non-OK state is not resolved within a certain period,  e.g, one hour?


if it isn't presently implemented,  could it be?


thanks and regards,

Sounds like your Nagios host is running out of resources.

How many hosts/services are you monitoring?  What CPU does your Nagios
host have?  Memory?  Swap?

You might want to review this page:

Subject: controlling host check sensitivity
Message-ID: <8A33B0D59EE5CD459FF98F7C5D49FFC604C990@patton.infosysnetworks.com>

I need some ideas on slowing down the notification process when a service fails. After reading and re-reading the docs, it looks like Nagios immediately starts ping the host if a service fails. It does this rapidfire up to the max_check_attempts setting. Each check takes about 10 seconds, so if you have max_check_attempts set to 10, it take 100 seconds before sending a notification.

The sites I am monitoring are connected via microwave and are subject to rain fade, etc. The host is not really down. I have all the parents setup, but the upstream hosts (routers) have not failed yet. What I want to do is to give the hosts 3 -5 minutes to recover before sending notifications.

Anyone have an idea?

One idea was to set the max_check_attempts to 30. But no other checks execute until the state of the host is determined. Once it recovers or fails finally, all my other service checks show as stale and then immediately execute causing other problems.

Please send me your ideas.

Brian.

Please follow-up all replies to the nagios-users list.

fork() isn't a bug in Nagios at all.  It's how well (or how poorly)
you've tuned Nagios.  And there's no practical limit to the number
of hosts or services that you define; your system will run out of
steam long before you hit any such limit.

It doens't sound like you've got too many hosts or services defined.
However, it's possible that it's checking too frequently.  Please refer
to the tuning link I provided in my first e-mail.  And make absolutely
certain that when you stop Nagios, that *all* the nagios procs have
exited.

HTH.

Message-ID: <015a01c350a5$27096960$aa64a8c0@journyx2000.int.journyx.com>

Today, my local Cisco router went down.  Call it hw-router. :)  Well, I have
a bunch of machines defined as "coloc-host".  Here's what the foo.cfg file
says:
------------------
define host {
  use                             coloc-host

  host_name                  foo
  alias                           foo
  address                      vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz
}
-----------------

Here's what the hosts.cfg file says:

------------------
define host {
  name                            coloc-host
  notifications_enabled           1
  event_handler_enabled           1
  flap_detection_enabled          1
  process_perf_data               1
  retain_status_information       1
  retain_nonstatus_information    1

  check_command                   check-host-alive
  max_check_attempts              3
  notification_interval           1
  notification_period             24x7
  notification_options            d,u,r

  parents                         sw-router, hw-router, coloc-router
  register                        0
}
--------------------------

Well, when hw-router went down, when it came back up, I got about a dozen
pages telling me that each of the coloc hosts was down, and then back up. I
thought it wasn't supposed to do this to me, based on the config above.  Any
help would be appreciated.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to request your comments on 

1 A plugin to check that the number of open TCP connections is less than 
a threshold.

This plugin is inspired by the Orcallator monitor of 'Number of Open TCP 
connections' and made essential by my employers famous name application 
server (name withheld since this is a family program) dieing early one 
morning when the hosts limit was breached.

It is

. implemented in Perl

. not portable (basically its a Netstat filter that needs to know the 
Netstat format of the host)

. easy to hack because it is so-so thin

Here is the sample output (Sol version).

[asterix]/usr/home/nagios$ perl/check_open_connections
Ok. Number of open TCP connections (362) less than threshold. Top 
connectors: 10.0.100.201  108, 10.0.100.65  49, 192.168.101.210  27, 
192.168.102.210  24, 192.168.103.210  22.

[asterix]/usr/home/nagios$ uname -a
SunOS asterix 5.8 Generic_108528-20 sun4u sparc 

2 A new SLA attribute to the template configuration.

The SLA attribute would have values like those of the check period or 
notification period (eg 24x7, workhours etc) or plain percentages (eg 
<grin>99.99</grin>)

It is for add-on projects to be able to compute SLA conformance by 
comparing the Nag measured availability with that required by the SLA.

Computing SLA conformance then becomes 

1 either compare the OK% (from the Nag avail.cgi) with the percentage 
value Or

2 the much more challenging one (that is probably optional or best left 
for later) for SLAs phrased like 'workhours', 

Modify avail.cgi to check if outage intervals lie inside an SLA period 
and compute the SLA appropriately.

In the latter case, the SLA attribute may have to contain more data like
'99.5% of workhours'.

Yours sincerely.

Hi!
 
Just want to ask for help regarding nagios service comments. I was able to
activate (made it work well) nagios with mysql and able to add/delete to
nagios database. My problem is the comment data is not displayed on the web.
What could be the problem? I already set the authentication in cgi.

If you have SNMP on the host in question, you can just use check_snmp. I
think most implementations provide this in their MIB. Certainly net-snmp
does.

This solution has the advantage of being portable.

I think this is the hostinfo.pl which you mention:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xedtemplate.html
define hostextinfo{
	host_name	netware1
	notes_url	http://webserver.localhost.localdomain/hostinfo.pl?host=netware1
	icon_image	novell40.png 
	icon_image_alt	IntranetWare 4.11
	vrml_image	novell40.png
	statusmap_image	novell40.gd2
	2d_coords	100,250
	3d_coords	100.0,50.0,75.0
	}
The example notes_url link points to a hostinfo.pl script.  This link can actually be to any CGI, perl script (ie hostinfo.pl), or static HTML page, but you have to make it yourself.  The link can also be to a ticketing system, intranet page, or anything else.

  Hello Rainer, hello everyone,
  thanks for the advise - but this didn't help me, because I could not find

Hi guys

I am just curious how do you measure that the overhead of active checks is 
higher than passive checks? It's under one of the points in the following 
URL.

On my hosts I solved this issue by mutaly connecting

In that way I got the initial certificates.

Hope this helps,

Subject: Service Escalations and notification_interval
Message-ID: <006201c3511c$fd867f10$fb00a8c0@office.toastedmedia.net>

Hi,

I've written a couple of programs - one that does notification via MSN, and
one via SMS.

I used the following the service-escalation configuration on a service:

define serviceescalation {
 host_name                 myhost
 service_description       myservice
 first_notification        1
 last_notification         0
 contact_groups            admins-msn
 notification_interval     1
}

define serviceescalation {
 host_name                 myhost
 service_description       myservice
 first_notification        1
 last_notification         0
 contact_groups            admins-sms
 notification_interval     120
}

Now I kinda wish that I'd read the documentation a little more carefully ;)
It was meant to notify the admins via MSN regulary, but only send out a
notification via SMS once every two hours. But of course, what actually
happens is that it uses the smallest notification_interval for both the
contact-groups. (Just as well I was only testing this to my phone!).

So I have two questions:

a) Is it possible to define two, overlapping, service escalations for one
service, with different notification_intervalS? Or will I have to duplicate
the service defination?

b) Why is it that the notifcations occured once every five minutes, not once
every minute as the notification_interval suggests? Is this a multiplier of
some other value? A look at services.cfg suggests it's
'notification_interval x normal_check_interval' since normal_check_interval
is the only property with a value of five.

Sam

  Hi,


  Playing around with nagios 1.1 I tried to set up a distributed
  nagios host using the nsca addon. I configured the distributed
  nagios host according to he manual, setting
  obsess_over_services=1
  ocsp_command=submit_check_result
  When calling submit_check_result manually (with the specific
  arguments) the info is send to the nagios central host just
  fine. Yet that distributed nagios host never bothers to use
  the submit_check_result script (updates are done by nagios;
  at least the status.log is updated regularly).
  I have read that other people are using this and it works, so
  obviously I overlooked something. Can someone please assist?

  Thanky in advance,


                                               Chris Kronberg.

Subject: nrpe giving garbled information in status info
Message-ID: <3141815032r.ford@pindar.com>

Ah.....what I actually did was compile nagios/nagios-plugins on my sparc/solaris box and then tried to transfer the plugins accross to my intel/solaris box.  Then of course when I tried to run them locally it said it couldn't execute...which I assumed was standard.

And when I ported them to my sparc box it said the same...but that was because I had the permissions wrong, I changed those and it worked instantly.  So I need to compile the plugins on my intel box and then yell Doh!!! very loudly

But many thanks for your help it is much appreciated.

Rob

Can anyone point me to a script that will allow me to send information gathered by Nagios to a Management system such as HP Openview via the SNMP protocol.  I realize that net-snmp provides the ability, but I am inexperienced in scripting and would appreciate your help.
 
Thanks,

Subject: Service Escalations and notification_interval
Message-ID: <8A33B0D59EE5CD459FF98F7C5D49FFC604C991@patton.infosysnetworks.com>

The reason it happens every five minutes is because notifications don't occur unless a service check is performed. Therefore, nothing has changed to kick off a notification until the check is performed.

You asked if you could have different notification intervals for the same service. I think you can if you use host group notifications and have the service belong to two hostgroups.

Hope this helps, I am struggling with controlling notifications right now myself.

Brian.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Service Escalations and notification_interval


Hi,

I've written a couple of programs - one that does notification via MSN, and
one via SMS.

I used the following the service-escalation configuration on a service:

define serviceescalation {
 host_name                 myhost
 service_description       myservice
 first_notification        1
 last_notification         0
 contact_groups            admins-msn
 notification_interval     1
}

define serviceescalation {
 host_name                 myhost
 service_description       myservice
 first_notification        1
 last_notification         0
 contact_groups            admins-sms
 notification_interval     120
}

Now I kinda wish that I'd read the documentation a little more carefully ;)
It was meant to notify the admins via MSN regulary, but only send out a
notification via SMS once every two hours. But of course, what actually
happens is that it uses the smallest notification_interval for both the
contact-groups. (Just as well I was only testing this to my phone!).

So I have two questions:

a) Is it possible to define two, overlapping, service escalations for one
service, with different notification_intervalS? Or will I have to duplicate
the service defination?

b) Why is it that the notifcations occured once every five minutes, not once
every minute as the notification_interval suggests? Is this a multiplier of
some other value? A look at services.cfg suggests it's
'notification_interval x normal_check_interval' since normal_check_interval
is the only property with a value of five.

Thanks the reply,

I understand what you are saying about the notifications not occuring unless
a service check is preformed, but the retry_check_interval is 1.

The service templateit is based on is:

defineservice {
name                            standard-service
use                             generic-service
register                        0;
is_volatile                     0
check_period                    24x7
max_check_attempts              3
normal_check_interval           5
retry_check_interval            1
notification_interval           120
notification_period             24x7
notification_options            w,u,c,r
}

Surely that means that it will check the service once a minute once it is
critical? Unless the notification_interval is based on the
normal_check_interval?

I'll look into trying the hostgroup escalations for the escalation problem,
but it doesn't seem the most optimal solution, just a workaround.

I am installing Nagios on Redhat 7.1 with gd 1.8.4

Hi folks,

I'm looking for an easy way to pull a quick summary from Nagios.
I want to be able to SMS our server and get it to spit back
a quick overview - i.e. there's nothing wrong, or there are 5
hosts down and 6 service outages etc.

Has anyone done this already?

Cheers,

John.

my three nagios boxes but would like to know if the support will be there in
the future releases and if it's really worth it!

TIA,

Dave

Database support will be dropped in version 2.0.

For that reason, you probably don't want to start using it now...

Subject: Problem with Ping service trends
Message-ID: <309765CC7547D7119FF30050DA7A3BD7204F78@EXCH>

Hello,

 

I have a ping service on a host that if I view the trends report it shows
that it has always been red or critical.  The ping service is okay but the
trends graph shows that it isn't.  Is there a way to reset the graph or make
it start showing correctly?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Dan

This statement is not entirely true...the text says and always
has...that db support MAY be dropped in version 3.0, not 2.0 as many
relay here.

Also if one would read further...it says:
" Please note that I do not plan on yanking the current DB support out
of Nagio unless it can be done in a better way using the event broker
daemon (which should appear in 2.x). So what that means is there should
be DB integration in some manner or another - its not completely
disappearing."

Ethan and others go to a lot of trouble to provide this information to
us, please let us read and relay ACCURATE information to others.

Subject: Missing CGIs - Nagios 1.1
Message-ID: <BOEOKGBIBDIJNMGEIDOMAENLIPAA.Gilbert.G@noc.phxinternet.net>

I have seen other posts mentioning missing CGI files (trends.cgi and
statusmap.cgi).  When I was trying out Nagios 1.0, I had the files, and when
I compiled Nagios 1.1, I no longer had the files.  Here is what I did to
make the repair.

Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.

1. I made all of the files with 'make'
2. Edited the file cgi/Makefile at the line beginning 'CGIS=' adding the 2
CGI's to the list of CGI's to compile.

hmm interesting problem.. 
Did you check to make sure that this is set to 1 in nagios.cfg? 

retain_state_information=1

Maybe you would like to post your nagios.cfg together with the permissions of 
all nagios log files.

I get the same error.  Are you using FreeBSD?  i also get this error 
when trying to start the nagios daemon:
bash-2.05b# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh start cgi.cfg-sample
Starting network monitor: nagios
No lock file found in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock


I can not find the lock file

Have you fixed your issue?

Subject: Slipping Schedule Queue
References: <48F26311AF9C9943926CA0CD204BC214BB09A8@nwa-srv-01.newworldapps.com>
Message-ID: <bfnr2h$hqc$1@main.gmane.org>

I had this problem too, and finally solved it by fiddling with the
inter-check delay.

Read this doc and calculate your own inter-check delay using a smaller
'average' instead of using the 's' method.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/checkscheduling.html#service_interlea
ving

------- snip ----------
inter_check_delay_method=s

n = Don't use any delay - schedule all service checks to run immediately
(i.e. at the same time!)
d = Use a "dumb" delay of 1 second between service checks
s = Use a "smart" delay calculation to spread service checks out evenly
(default)
x.xx = Use a user-supplied inter-check delay of x.xx seconds

------------------------

The 's'mart method uses a formula that takes into account the total time
needed for the checks and spreads it out evenly amongst all the services.
This works well in an ideal situation, where all the checks run at the same
frequency.  However, you want to weigh the check interval more heavily
towards the most frequent check (in this case, 1 minute).

So for an easy solution, use your shortest check interval as the 'normal'.
Calculate the inter_check_delay using one minute per check for all services.
This will yield

96 / 92^2 = .0101... seconds  * 60 seconds = .625

inter-check-delay = .625

If 96 services need to run, they will all finish in 60 seconds.  One check
runs every .625 seconds. Initially.
After the first run, they will spread out (according to their next scheduled
time interval).
But now, your system can accomodate the need to run them all within the same
minute. Every five minutes, the 5-minute checks and the APAN-checks overlap,
so you'll need to run 96 checks during that minute.

If you add more services, be sure to recalculate and apply the new number.

Subject: Question about Notification
Message-ID: <00b201c351aa$81feb770$6a01a8c0@arcom1>

Hello List,

i wonder when Nagios starts notification. We use Nagios 1.1 and if I
understood the manual right, the notification should start after the
max_check_attempts.

normal_check_interval    3
max_check_attempts      5
retry_check_interval       1

As I understood the man, Nagios should do 5 more checks with an delay of 1
minute before sending a notification? Are I'm wrong?
If i'm wrong, how can i force nagios the check the service 4 or 5 times
before sending any notification.

Next question:
I've seen this question before on the list, but no answer was given. Is it
possible to send warnings only per mail and critical events per mail and
pager?

Thank you in advance
Andreas Husemann

I get the same error.  Are you using FreeBSD?  i also get this error 
when trying to start the nagios daemon:
bash-2.05b# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh start cgi.cfg-sample Starting
network monitor: nagios No lock file found in
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock


I can not find the lock file

Have you fixed your issue?

I have written a shell script that dumps this data in a MySQL database 
every month. Data can then be used in Excel/Access/... through ODBC. It 
is based on the avail.cgi, which you can run from the command line.

Not that I can think of... Tough it might be possible using notification 
escalation if you create multiple contacts.

Helo Jeyri

Yes you can export the reports in CSV format. Read the "Tip" text that shows
when you are about to select which hostgroups/hosts/services you want a report
on.

        email                           emailaddress at host.com
        }

# contact2, send critical per email & pager

But i get a Host Notification direct after the first fail. There is no 5
minutes delay as it should be?
Any ideas?

Thats fine, but it seems not to work in that way. I get a notification after
the first attempt.
In my config there should be a delay of at least 5 minutes between first
failure detect and first notification but it isn't.
Is there a difference between Plugin timeout and "normal" Critical State?

I'm not sure, but i think i get notified if the check_ping plugin timed
out?!

Hi!
 
Just want to ask for help regarding nagios service comments. I was able to
activate (made it work well) nagios with mysql and able to add/delete to
nagios database. My problem is the comment data is not displayed on the web.
What could be the problem? I already set the authentication in cgi.

If you have SNMP on the host in question, you can just use check_snmp. I
think most implementations provide this in their MIB. Certainly net-snmp
does.

This solution has the advantage of being portable.

I think this is the hostinfo.pl which you mention:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xedtemplate.html
define hostextinfo{
	host_name	netware1
	notes_url	=
http://webserver.localhost.localdomain/hostinfo.pl?host=3Dnetware1

	statusmap_image	novell40.gd2
	2d_coords	100,250
	3d_coords	100.0,50.0,75.0
	}
The example notes_url link points to a hostinfo.pl script.  This link =
can actually be to any CGI, perl script (ie hostinfo.pl), or static HTML =
page, but you have to make it yourself.  The link can also be to a =
ticketing system, intranet page, or anything else.

Quite right. In this case, SNMP wasn't an option.

  Hi,


  Playing around with nagios 1.1 I tried to set up a distributed
  nagios host using the nsca addon. I configured the distributed
  nagios host according to he manual, setting
  obsess_over_services=1
  ocsp_command=submit_check_result
  When calling submit_check_result manually (with the specific
  arguments) the info is send to the nagios central host just
  fine. Yet that distributed nagios host never bothers to use
  the submit_check_result script (updates are done by nagios;
  at least the status.log is updated regularly).
  I have read that other people are using this and it works, so
  obviously I overlooked something. Can someone please assist?

  Thanky in advance,

Subject: [Nagios-users] Service Escalations and notification_interval

Hi,

I've written a couple of programs - one that does notification via MSN, and
one via SMS.

I used the following the service-escalation configuration on a service:

define serviceescalation {
 host_name                 myhost
 service_description       myservice
 first_notification        1
 last_notification         0
 contact_groups            admins-msn
 notification_interval     1
}

define serviceescalation {
 host_name                 myhost
 service_description       myservice
 first_notification        1
 last_notification         0
 contact_groups            admins-sms
 notification_interval     120
}

Now I kinda wish that I'd read the documentation a little more carefully ;)
It was meant to notify the admins via MSN regulary, but only send out a
notification via SMS once every two hours. But of course, what actually
happens is that it uses the smallest notification_interval for both the
contact-groups. (Just as well I was only testing this to my phone!).

So I have two questions:

a) Is it possible to define two, overlapping, service escalations for one
service, with different notification_intervalS? Or will I have to duplicate
the service defination?

b) Why is it that the notifcations occured once every five minutes, not once
every minute as the notification_interval suggests? Is this a multiplier of
some other value? A look at services.cfg suggests it's
'notification_interval x normal_check_interval' since normal_check_interval
is the only property with a value of five.

Sam

The reason it happens every five minutes is because notifications don't =
occur unless a service check is performed. Therefore, nothing has =
changed to kick off a notification until the check is performed.

You asked if you could have different notification intervals for the =
same service. I think you can if you use host group notifications and =
have the service belong to two hostgroups.

Hope this helps, I am struggling with controlling notifications right =
now myself.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Service Escalations and notification_interval


Hi,

I've written a couple of programs - one that does notification via MSN, =
and
one via SMS.

I used the following the service-escalation configuration on a service:

define serviceescalation {
 host_name                 myhost
 service_description       myservice
 first_notification        1
 last_notification         0
 contact_groups            admins-msn
 notification_interval     1
}

define serviceescalation {
 host_name                 myhost
 service_description       myservice
 first_notification        1
 last_notification         0
 contact_groups            admins-sms
 notification_interval     120
}

Now I kinda wish that I'd read the documentation a little more carefully =
;)
It was meant to notify the admins via MSN regulary, but only send out a
notification via SMS once every two hours. But of course, what actually
happens is that it uses the smallest notification_interval for both the
contact-groups. (Just as well I was only testing this to my phone!).

So I have two questions:

a) Is it possible to define two, overlapping, service escalations for =
one
service, with different notification_intervalS? Or will I have to =
duplicate
the service defination?

b) Why is it that the notifcations occured once every five minutes, not =
once
every minute as the notification_interval suggests? Is this a multiplier =
of
some other value? A look at services.cfg suggests it's
'notification_interval x normal_check_interval' since =
normal_check_interval
is the only property with a value of five.

Sam

Thanks the reply,

I understand what you are saying about the notifications not occuring unless
a service check is preformed, but the retry_check_interval is 1.

The service templateit is based on is:

defineservice {
name                            standard-service
use                             generic-service
register                        0;
is_volatile                     0
check_period                    24x7
max_check_attempts              3
normal_check_interval           5
retry_check_interval            1
notification_interval           120
notification_period             24x7
notification_options            w,u,c,r
}

Surely that means that it will check the service once a minute once it is
critical? Unless the notification_interval is based on the
normal_check_interval?

I'll look into trying the hostgroup escalations for the escalation problem,
but it doesn't seem the most optimal solution, just a workaround.

Hi folks,

I'm looking for an easy way to pull a quick summary from Nagios.
I want to be able to SMS our server and get it to spit back
a quick overview - i.e. there's nothing wrong, or there are 5
hosts down and 6 service outages etc.

Has anyone done this already?

Cheers,

HI all,

Just wondering if anyone has experience with Nagios using a database backend
and if there are really any benefits to it.  I'm considering changing over
my three nagios boxes but would like to know if the support will be there in
the future releases and if it's really worth it!

TIA,

For that reason, you probably don't want to start using it now...

This statement is not entirely true...the text says and always
has...that db support MAY be dropped in version 3.0, not 2.0 as many
relay here.

Also if one would read further...it says:
" Please note that I do not plan on yanking the current DB support out
of Nagio unless it can be done in a better way using the event broker
daemon (which should appear in 2.x). So what that means is there should
be DB integration in some manner or another - its not completely
disappearing."

Ethan and others go to a lot of trouble to provide this information to
us, please let us read and relay ACCURATE information to others.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Missing CGIs - Nagios 1.1

I have seen other posts mentioning missing CGI files (trends.cgi and
statusmap.cgi).  When I was trying out Nagios 1.0, I had the files, and when
I compiled Nagios 1.1, I no longer had the files.  Here is what I did to
make the repair.

Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.

1. I made all of the files with 'make'
2. Edited the file cgi/Makefile at the line beginning 'CGIS=' adding the 2
CGI's to the list of CGI's to compile.

---------ORIGINAL LINE-------------
CGIS=avail.cgi cmd.cgi config.cgi extinfo.cgi history.cgi notifications.cgi

CGIS=avail.cgi cmd.cgi config.cgi extinfo.cgi history.cgi notifications.cgi
outages.cgi showlog.cgi status.cgi statuswml.cgi summary.cgi tac.cgi
trends.cgi statusmap.cgi $(CGIEXTRAS)

3. I re-ran 'make' and the CGI's were compiled.

Subject: Monitoring Available Disk Space...
Message-ID: <3F1FA0B8.9060009@STTechnology.Co.Uk>

Morning all... (well it is here :-P )

After wishing I had used nagios sooner, I decided to download and 
install it.

OK, got it running on 2 servers here in my office, It pings the 2 of 
them nicely... I thought yay... Then I decided to setup disk space 
monitoring...

I can get it to monitor one disk without any major problems (/dev/sda1) 
but if i monitor any others it fails..

Error message:

Unable to read output

Has anyone else come across this before, if so how did you get around it..


Thanks

Neil Stone

Subject: Disk not mounted or nonexistant error
Message-ID: <1059042234.963.11.camel@rockley.barbados>

I've got free space monitoring on my one of my servers, and for 3 of the
drives it's fine, however for one drive/mount I get:

	Disk "/dev/vg/incoming" not mounted or nonexistant 

Which  is weird, because /dev/vg/incoming is mounted according to mount
& df (and according to me because I keep moving files there).

I just can't figure out why, the service def for this is the same as the
others:

	# /dev/vg/incoming
	define service{
        	use                             generic-service         ; Name
of service template to use

        	host_name                       oistins
	        service_description             /dev/vg/incoming Free Space
     	   	is_volatile                     0
        	check_period                    24x7
	        contact_groups                  sd-linux-admins
        	notification_interval           120
	        notification_period             24x7
        	notification_options            u,c,r
	        check_command        check_local_disk!5%!2%!/dev/vg/incoming
        	}

Output of mount:
	/dev/vg/incoming on /home/nickg/Incoming reiserfs
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Output of df:
	Filesystem    		Type        Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on	
	/dev/vg/incoming	reiserfs    5.0G  3.0G  2.1G  59%
/home/nickg/Incoming	


Can anyone give me any pointers?

Regards,

Nick Gushlow

Subject: Nagios 1.1 and Performance Data
Message-ID: <001f01c351e7$c6792830$7928020a@win.ckssysteme.de>

Hi,

I just upgraded my Nagios installation to 1.1 and it ran perfect.

Then I just wanted to test performance data collection, but I had some
problems:

If using the the command-based method the log entrys get mixed, because more
than one check command runs at one time.
--> So I decided to switch to the file based method but

Only the file hostperf.log get written, and it is only written when a
service (!) check fails (exit code>0). The serviceperf.log is not created.

My configuration:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
process_performance_data=1

#host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata
#service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=/opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log
xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$
xpdfile_service_perfdara_file=/opt/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPU
T$\t$PERFDATA$
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

How can I get this to work? 

Thanks alot,

Michael

Hi all,

 

I'm new to Nagios, and I most probably have some common startup problems that most people have...  :)

 

I have installed Nagios-text 1.1 through apt on a Debian distribution and the plugins 1.3.1. It seems that all is running fine, but I keep getting the following error on the site when I click the monitor links:

 

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

If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI

and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file."

 

I am logged in as "nagiosadmin", there is nothing wrong with the HTTP authentication, as far as I can see. Also no errors or access denied errors in the Apache logs. In the CGI.cfg the user nagiosadmin can access everything by default.. 

 

Please help!

 

Gr,

Bart

Run the script status.cgi from the command-line as the same user that apache
runs under, and see if the script is issuing any compliation errors.

Ok, just forget about it....

I deleted the configuration (which was pasted from the online documentation)
and added it again... Et voila...
It works.... 

But I have a final question... Is this logfile archived like nagios.log?

Bye
Michael.

Betreff: [Nagios-users] Nagios 1.1 and Performance Data


Hi,

I just upgraded my Nagios installation to 1.1 and it ran perfect.

Then I just wanted to test performance data collection, but I had some
problems:

If using the the command-based method the log entrys get mixed, because more
than one check command runs at one time.
--> So I decided to switch to the file based method but

Only the file hostperf.log get written, and it is only written when a
service (!) check fails (exit code>0). The serviceperf.log is not created.

My configuration:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
process_performance_data=1

#host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata
#service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=/opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log
xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$
xpdfile_service_perfdara_file=/opt/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPU
T$\t$PERFDATA$
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

How can I get this to work? 

Thanks alot,

Michael

It's all in cgi/cmd.c.  Look for "Start" to find the HTML and stuff generated.

Change it to what you want and rebuild.

I just looked in the alpha code since it was handy.  I don't know what version you
are using.

  Finally found it. Thanks to another posting mentioning the
  ownership of the nrpe binary I came to think about the owner-
  ship and permissions of the nsca binary and configuration file.
  The latter was only root readable. Fixed that and now everything
  works as it should. :-)
  (Just wished that there was a kind of error message, that the
  configuration file could not be read...)

  Cheers,


                                                          Chris.

Subject: Nagios + mysql DB (Get it Right!)
Message-ID: <C476216FED4D5342898C9A2CD90309521A3488@PKDWB02C.ad.sprint.com>

True enough, but look near the top, under "2.0 Completed Features".  To wit:

7. DB support for retention data is being dropped
8. DB support for extended information is being dropped

Having said that, scroll down to "2.0 TODO".  Here's the good news:

"I plan on adding an external event interface that would dump all 
service/host check info, alerts, downtime events, comments, etc. 
from Nagios to an external daemon via a unix domain socket. The 
daemon would then pass that data off to seperate user modules 
(loaded at runtime) that would process the data anyway they please. 
User modules will be able to register for different types of data 
they want to receive from the daemon using callback functions. This
 will provide an easy way for people to write their own modules to 
dump data in a DB, process performance data, etc. The event daemon 
is currently in development, but will probably not be publicly 
released until 2.0 is into the beta process."

Mmmm, DB....

This statement is not entirely true...the text says and always
has...that db support MAY be dropped in version 3.0, not 2.0 as many
relay here.

Also if one would read further...it says:
" Please note that I do not plan on yanking the current DB support out
of Nagio unless it can be done in a better way using the event broker
daemon (which should appear in 2.x). So what that means is there should
be DB integration in some manner or another - its not completely
disappearing."

Ethan and others go to a lot of trouble to provide this information to
us, please let us read and relay ACCURATE information to others.

2 cents

Subject: Changing Minimum Downtime
Message-ID: <C476216FED4D5342898C9A2CD90309521A3489@PKDWB02C.ad.sprint.com>

I don't find the 2 hour minimum annoying, as it's actually a set
2 hour period.  Not a minimum, not a maximum.

I also don't find the default 2 hour period to be annoying, either.
If I want it different, I just change it manually.  Usually I just
change the start time's hh:mm:ss to what I want it to be, and set
the end time's hh:mm:ss to what I want it to be.  If the end time
falls after midnight (whereas the start time is prior to midnight),
I adjust the date accordingly.  Sometimes the start time translates
to 'right this very moment', in which case I don't need to edit that
at all.

So let's say that you are personally interested in changing the
default time period to 1 hour.  If I had to deal with that time
period, I'd still be doing just as much typing as before.

But let's say that you're interested in a 'flexible' downtime.
After unchecking the Fixed checkbox, I would double-click in the
Hours box, type '1', and (after filling in the Comment field),
I would click on Commit.  I'm not sure how double-clicking in
the Hours box and typing a single keystroke would be annoying.

Since this doesn't strike me as annoying, either my annoyance
threshold is different than yours, or I'm completely overlooking
something.  Perhaps you could describe the specifics of the scenario
you're trying to deal with...?

Ok,

Let me explain this a little further. the minimum allowed for a
scheduled down time is 2 hours. You are not allowed to set it to less.
If you enter anything less then two hours, it is automatically scheduled
for two hours, not what you entered.

This is a problem for scheduled reboots of boxes on the network.
If I want to reboot a box on a schedule, such as planning for an outage,
I only want the downtime to run for 15 minutes.

I am just looking for a way to change the minimum time from two hours to
15 minutes. Not the default, the minimum. 

Sorry if I did not explain this more before guys.

Btw just as a heads up I am running the latest version of Nagios (1.1)
on a Redhat 8 Box.

Thanks,

Josh

Ok now I feel bad, chalk this up as my stupidest question...
sorry guys..

It was that darn fixed button.. =(
Read over Jim's post again, and did a few tests.. looks like the fixed
button forces it to 2 hours.

So yah, whoops. Thanks to everyone that responded tho.

Subject: Nagios +  DB

Correct Jim

It all boils down that Nagios 2.0 will have a interface that one can use
to dump to a database or whatever caveat they desire. This will allow
the developers to write and test Nagios code and not DB interface code
all the time. The ability to read/write to a "entity" will still be
there.

Anyone thinking of going to a database, should know how to interface
with it also, so that should not be a problem. Interface modules will
likely be developed and contributed under the spirit of GNU by those
using Nagios and databases as well, so this should also not be a large
obstacle either. I know I will.  Instead of only mysql and postgresql,
modules to interface with many other databases as well will likely be
available, without Nagios caring.

Point...when 2.0, not the alpha or beta versions, releases, the intent
as stated is to have an event daemon interface available to
export/import data.

Message-ID: <44B88EC6CAD5024FADA04D5D2438970BF44C7E@sc-msexch-08.extremenetworks.com>

Hello,

I have trouble with scheduled services going stale.  Service checks are
scheduled in the "Scheduling Queue" but they do not run and are not removed
from the scheduling queue.  It appears there may be a process fork'ed to
check the service and that process fails to exit.

For example, the current time is 17:41:08 and I have numerous jobs waiting
in the queue spread back to 16:48:23.

I am running Nagios 1.0 on RH72.

Subject: Notify problem
Message-ID: <20030725083022.GA28906@amit.hu>

hello list,

i have a good Nagios system on a Debian 3.0. Nagios version is
1.1.

sometimes Nagios "forget" to send notify about one of my service
crash.

for example:
today morning, one of my monitoring host goes to down. 
(@ 00:40, CEST)

there is a setting, Nagios send me the notify about all error
every hour.

the first message what i get about this message, received @
09:40 CEST. (????)

here is a part of mail.log:
(there is a user: nagios on Linux, it gets mail about every
alert)

Jul 25 00:40:06 monitor postfix/pickup[21576]: A34AA25D7B: uid=2000 from=<nagios>

... but nothing relevant message
...
...

Message-ID: <3626546DC152134382A0A029C29365C6117EDD@net-mail.int.netways.de>

Hello all ! 
I am running Nagios in a ditributed environment. 
My central server is processing about 250-300 checks itself, the rest about 150 ist from one other distributed Server. 
As I didn't want to open additional port on several firewalls I tunneld the ncsa via ssh. 
So my distributed server has an ssh tunnel to the central server. Via this tunnel all data is sent. 
Distributed monitoring itself works nicely. 
The central server is only doing active checks for hosts which he is responsible for all the rest is received with passive checks. 
Anyway after let us say one or two hours the central server has about 500 Nagios processes running. 
Status.log is no longer updated as well as checkresults. 

After the first night the central server crashed ... Too many processes. I had to reboot manually. 

What is wrong ?

But no mail notifications come :(
Host notification is OK but service one is not working properly. Maybe something in any other cfg file but I read documantation and found nothing for it. Any help?

Same problem with service notifications. Nothing in mail logs or in nagios logs. Only about host down.

But the web page shows it as critical. I turn this workstation down for tests to be sure ;)
I changed notification_interval of a service to be not longer than host check (as I found in documentation) but nothing chaneged.

I've written a PHP script to schedule multiple hosts for downtime.
Whenever our SysAdmins do hotfixes, they do them is chucks and having to
go through the screens 20 - 30 times gets to be a pain. I'm having two
issues that are keeping me from using this:

1) The Author defaults to the user logged in.  How do I get to that
variable?
2) I can run my script from one of my other websites, but when I drop it
into the ~nagios/sbin directory, I get an execution failure.  How can I
get my script to run from under the nagios directory structure?

Hi

Are you sure that it was Nagios who crash your system? What do you last 
experience from Nagios before the crash? I mean on the top right hand corner 
of your tactical overview .. how was the latency like? I am interested to 
know.

Subject: Database Support -- Objects
Message-ID: <CC388CB3FD048C43989AFD240B23FCF0022B03@HQ-MAIL>

Good Morning,

I use Nagios along with several other network applications (e.g. Cricket) on the same box. These programs independently maintain much of the same information about the devices (hostnames, ip addresses, SNMP strings, etc). I'd like to create a database schema that allows me to store pertinent information, in this case object data, in a database server such as mysql. Ideally I'd like to store all Nagios related data in this database, both object and external data. Given that external data is already supported in the source, has anyone attempted to include object data? Would it be easier or even better just to write scripts that create flat files from the database? The scripting option seems like it would be better for new releases as you wouldn't have to worry about patching the source. I've also read somewhere that the existing database support for external data will be removed in future releases? Is there any truth to this? If so, what are the reasons behind this decision?

	1) The Author defaults to the user logged in.  How do I get to that 
	variable? 

	Since Nagios uses .htaccess, it's stuffed into the CGI environment variable REMOTE_USER by the webserver and accessible by any httpd spawned process.

	
	2) I can run my script from one of my other websites, but when I drop it 
	into the ~nagios/sbin directory, I get an execution failure.  How can I 
	get my script to run from under the nagios directory structure? 

	This is kind of an odd question since we didn't write your script nor do we have any idea of it's requirements. All I can suggest are basic troubleshooting ideas : verify permissions are correct, try running it as the user your web server runs as, verify paths in your script are sane and check you httpd error log for clues.

Hi! 

I'm having problem displaying the service comment of nagios. I was able to
activate the comment database and it's working well but it does not display
the comments in the web. What could be the problem?

what do you want to monitor in the NDS?

You should use other tools (standard nagios checks?) to monitor Groupwise, DNS 
and DHCP

Hmm.. I couldnt see anything wrong with your logging. Since you mentioned that 
you have sufficient disk space and stuffs.. The log events for the past few 
days are all in the /var/nagios/archives/ directory! Can you try generating 
reports for the past few days from Alert History on your web interface?

I've got ucdsnmp installed but i don't find check_snmp.  Maybe it was an option I forget during the compilation???

Use check_snmp.

autoconfig will build it if you have ucdsnmp installed (perhaps also others).

Subject: nagios and redhat 2.4.20
Message-ID: <186HgyoAa3536S18.1059143160@uwdvg018.cms.usa.net>

We recently upgraded a server from redhat 2.4.18-3 to 2.4.20-13.7.  When the
server came up, everything appeared to work ok, although Nagios would not
start.  I verified that the command file and lock files were all cleaned up.

It appeared to start the initial process but be unable to thread anything. 
The parent process is evident (tho daemonchk does not recognize that as being
"up") but nothing else is happening.  nrpe checks occur but nothing else.

Anyone seen anything like this?

Subject: Enable/Disable Notifications
Message-ID: <F148F49435FA57408CC95EF69DFD4E5316F161@golden-m.mactec.com>

I have an odd problem. I've setup Nagios 1.1 on RH9, and I converted
NetSaint 0.0.7 config files from the production RH7.3 system. I'm
running them side by side, but did not want to send notifications until
I was sure that everything was converted properly. Rather than disable
host/service notifications from the tac.cgi web page, I did it in the
config files, by setting the generic-host and generic-service templates'
notifications_enabled parameters to '0'. Since these are the base
templates used throughout all hosts and services, this value propagated
throughout the system, effectively disabling all notifications. This is
exactly what I expected/wanted.

However, upon changing these two parameters back to '1', to enable
notifications, all notifications are still disabled. I have restarted
the nagios, restarted the system, and even attempted to disable/enable
notifications from tac.cgi. None of this works.

The only way that I have found to re-enable notifications is
individually, per host. Any ideas as to why this might be the case?

following error...

- - - - -
Error: Could not stat() command file

The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running,

I have enabled external commands in nagios.cfg.

Any suggestions?

Message-ID: <007C87C66DDE0E4A91591E1FBD9596B001C2983E@mtelmy16.marcatel.ad>


Hi !!

I'm running nagios 1.1 on Linux debian 3.0 (Pentium4) with nagios-plugins 1.3.1

I'm monitor several ruters (cisco) with check_ping and check_ifstatus,
when someone goes down nagios detect perfectly, but when it comes 
up nagios cannot detected. Even with a ping from the pc can't see the router.

The only way to correct this is to restart the interfaces of linux.

This happen some times, not always.

I also run cacti on the linux machine to graph the interfaces.

It's seems like if nagios (or some other program) is blocking the ip of the router, 
but i don't now how to correct this problems

any ideas ?

thanks !!

No, it has nothing to do with Nagios itself. Nagios just reads the environment variable in the same way that you need to. It will be a shell environment variable available to your script in whatever manner the language you are using accesses shell environment variables. If you are using Perl, it's stuffed in %ENV and is accessible via $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'}

Spelled out --

my $logged_in_as = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'};

This presumes, of course, that the script is beneath the same .htaccess file as the rest of the Nagios cgi's as you mention below.

Would the REMOTE_USER variable be referenced as an argument to the script in the commands.cfg file? 
If so would I refernce it as $REMOTE_USER$?

I am pretty sure, not nagios itself, but memory ran out and the server
stood. 
At the moment I have a nagios uptime of : 

Total Running Time: 0d 6h 6m 15s 
And this... 
Check Command Output:  Nagios ok: located 1677 processes, status log
updated 170 seconds ago   

I am pretty sure this is mot ok,

Any Ideas ? 

I will let the server run over the weekend, when it crashes again, I
give detailed information to the list.

This is almost certainly a permissions issue. Is httpd a member of group
nagiocmd and has it been restarted since it was added? How about the
directories above rw... Are they accessible by httpd?

Subject: Number of Nagios Processes Distributed Monitoring
Message-ID: <B295F3D09B0D3840BEA3B46C51FC389C1F5B22@pnlmse28.pnl.gov>


I had a simular problem when doing lots of external checks.  The sub process that
gets forked to read the results from the .cmd pipe and then write them to the shared
fd to the master process would block (forever) on the write call.  I never did figure 
out why, since the code appeared to be correct.  I ended up putting an alarm around
the write call and timing it out if it hung to long.  I figured that loosing a few 
passive checks was worth not having memory fill up & having the machine die.  Based on
the behavior I saw, I'm not really convinced that the problem is 100% limited to the
passive checks though, as a very simular set of routines is used by the active checks
code.

If you compile nagios with debugging (export "CFLAGS=-g"; ./configure --whatever-options-you-use; make; make install) and then watch the "ps aux" output you'll notice
that there is one really long running process that takes a fair bit of CPU (which is 
the good master) and then over time you'll start seeing some other processes that have
a start time a fair bit in the past that never die.  If you attach to one of these with
a debugger (say "cd /wherever/you/compiled/nagios/; gdb base/nagios [pid]" where [pid] 
is the process ID of one of the processes with a start time > 1hr ago that is not the 
master process) and do a "bt" to get a call trace out of it that would likely help 
determine where the processes are getting stuck.

If you are having the same problem I was  you will likely see "process_passive_service_checks" and/or "check_for_external_commands" in the call trace 
(sometimes the stack looks munged so the call stack may not be 100% accurate, leading me 
to believe that some corruption is whats causing the write to hang, but I wasn't able to 
figure out what was causing the corruption easily and had to "get things working").

I'd be curious to see if its the same problem.

Message-ID: <516DA7BE5D87C8469D89F150CA0B491101C77051@PDAWB02C.ad.sprint.com>

If I write the old standby Hello World script using PHP, it won't run if I put it in the same directory as all the other .cgi scripts.

Errors from Apache error log
[Fri Jul 25 12:11:21 2003] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /usr/local/nagios/sbin/hello.php failed
[Fri Jul 25 12:11:21 2003] [error] [client 10.65.5.28] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/nagios/sbin/hello.php

I'm sure this is an Apache problem.  I was just trying to see if anyone else had written some custom stuff for Nagios and tried to run it from the same sbin directory.  If I don't have any luck soon, I'll try writing it in Perl and see if that works.

Heh, I know the feeling.  When I first started playing with the
scheduled downtime facility, it wasn't obvious what the Fixed
checkbox was all about.  Even after reading the verbiage off to
the right.  I had to read it a number of times before it finally
sank in.  ;)

Perhaps a wee bit of Javascript to cause certain text in that
verbiage to be highlighted would be beneficial to some.  ;)

It was that darn fixed button.. =(

So yah, whoops. Thanks to everyone that responded tho.

Message-ID: <5DB017510818EC468B05BD7BD9EACF83038E7CFB@mismail.ena.com>

I have created a number of tools that work just fine in ~nagios/sbin. There's nothing really special about that directory as opposed to any others that have +ExecCGI specified. A google search for your error message seems to indicate a couple of possibilities --

1) you may be specifying a #! Line in your script (which isn't necessary for php).
2) php isn't installed correctly (check httpd.conf for the required php definitions).

I have numerous other virtual websites running PHP just fine, so it can't be that.  I wrote the same hello world in Perl and it worked fine.  It's something in the way that directory is configure in Apache that it doesn't know what to do with PHP scripts.  I think I'll try and re-write my script in Perl.

Subject: check_oracle tip
Message-ID: <20030725180456.10694.qmail@linuxmail.org>

Folks,

I know that this subject has been discussed so many times here, but searching the list archives I didn't find what I'm looking for.

I installed the Client for Users from Oracle 8i Enterprise CD.

I'm trying by this way:
# SERVICES.CFG
define service{
        host_name               sd3metro1
        service_description     Oracle
        check_command           check_oracle!10.21.200.7
<snip>

# CHECKCOMMANDS.CFG
define command{
        command_name    check_oracle
        command_line    /usr/bin/env -i "ORACLE_HOME=/home/acesso/OraHome1" $USER1$/check_oracle --tns $ARG1$
        }

The error, from web interface:
Cannot determine ORACLE_HOME for sid 10.21.200.7

When I try this check command typing in the shell (/usr/bin/env -i "ORACLE_HOME=/home/acesso/OraHome1" /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle --tns 10.21.200.7) the stdout is "OK - reply time 20 msec from 10.21.200.7".

Anyone could send me the syntax used to check remote oracle servers? Also telling me the environment configured.

You could answer in PVT too. Feel free...

Thanks!

Here is a "stupid" diff against stock 1.0 (although it should apply to 1.1 as
well).  I say stupid because it a) doesn't fix the real problem (the write 
blocking forever is caused by something?) and b) isn't really freindly about 
how it "fixes" the problem (the stuck process is terminated with prejudice).  
It has however kept my machine from crashing from running out of memory 
(had I been running fbsd, sigh) for a couple weeks now, which is worth the 
downsides IMHO.  I didn't bitch about it because it looks like 2.0 is doing 
some different stuff in the process handling, so it seemed a little premature 
to complain about that there.

Yeah, it tells you that its hung in a write call, but how do you
know which one (deduction tells us its likely that its the same
one I'm seeing, but its not certain).

Subject: notification commands based on hosts or services
Message-ID: <oprsvzzbw3mw44be@mail.infoleak.org>

I have been all through the docs, but I can't determine a reasonable way to 
do this:

I need to specify the type of notification based on what host or service 
has a problem.

For example, contact "Joe" has notification options of "notify-by- 
email,notify-by-epager".  Joe needs to be contacted about status changes on 
all "dev" and "test" machines, but only needs email about "dev" machines, 
and should not be paged.

Contact groups become irrelevant here because the type of notification to 
make is specified in the contact definition. So even if I play around with 
contact groups and timeperiods, when an alert is sent to Joe, it goes via 
email and epager.

How could I restrict the notification type based on what 
service/host/hostgroup it is coming from without having to make unique 
contact entries for each (person+type of notification) they use?


I think this makes sense, but I've had a LOT of coffee :)

TIA

Garry,

Try this: stop Nagios, delete status.sav and restart it.

References: <oprsvzzbw3mw44be@mail.infoleak.org>
Message-ID: <oprsv3eqwqmw44be@mail.infoleak.org>

To add to the issues...

I bit the bullet and went ahead and created additional entries for each 
contact, named test<contact>, and placed them all in a contact group "test" 
all with email-only notifications.  I then realized that the service 
templates for all of my checks are based around the type/timing of the 
checks, i.e. 15-min-check,5-min-check, etc.  All the templates point to the 
main contact group.

I cannot change the templates, because that would affect ALL services, not 
just the ones I want only email from, and I hoped I might be able to remove 
the default contact group and it would default to the contact group for the 
host or hostgroup, but that is not the case.  Removing the default contact 
group for a service template results in a warning for every service that 
uses the template.

So is it accurate, then, that my options are these:

New service templates for each of the groups of services for which I need 
specific notification types.

or

Removing contact group from the service templates and specfiying the 
contactgroup in each individual service.


I am somewhat reluctant to do either as this would require editing a huge 
number of service entries in either case.  Any ideas/hacks/tips?

Hi !!

I'm monitor several ruters (cisco) with check_ping and check_ifstatus,
when someone goes down nagios detect perfectly, but when it comes 
up nagios cannot detected. Even with a ping form the pc can't see the router.

The only way to correct this is to restart the interfaces of linux.

This happen some times, not always.

I also run cacti on the linux machine to graph the interfaces.

It's seems like if nagios (or some other program) is blocking the ip of the router, 
but i don't now how to correct this problems

any ideas ?

thanks !!

Do I have to have a client installed to monitor anything with Nagios. 
I
just want to monitor Cisco and Motorola devices with snmp.  Will
Nagios do this or do I need to look at something else.  Thanks in

Subject: Nagios and NAT
Message-ID: <3F22B0F0.2040607@cox.net>

I have run into situations before where some SNMP / Monitoring utility
does not work with with NAT. i.e. - you cannot define a nat'd subnet and
have the tool discover all devices by their nat'd IP address.

What ends up happening is that the devices are discovered, however when
you begin managing by SNMP, the real IP addresses are discovered and you
begin seeing errors (red) on your maps or devices get removed from the
nat'd domain and put into containers based on their real IP addresses.
If all the monitoring is done to the nat'd IP's and you do not have
routing to the real IP's, you get errors.

Does Nagios work in NAT environments and can it monitor interfaces, etc.
yet still base its polling on the NAT'd IP which you have routing to?

I'm a big fan of specifying a hostgroup_name in a service description, but 
I've run into a situation where I need to do a service check for all hosts in 
a hostgroup except one.  I was wondering if there was any way to negate a 
host in a group, perhaps something like:
    host   !evil.host
or
    exclude_host  evil.host

Does anything like this exist?

Lets say you've got contacts per person per notification type set up.

Joe_email = email notfication
Joe_pager= pager notification
Boss_email= , etc....

I think perhaps you could set up your contact groups accoring to
"notification profiles"
ie.
contact_groups:
general = Joe_Email, Joe_Pager, Boss_Email, Boss_pager, helpdesk_email,
oncall_pager
dev = Joe_Email, Boss_Email, helpdesk_email
test = Joe_Email, Joe_Pager, Boss_pager

In the service template, use 'general' as the default for all services

Then, in each service definition for each host in the dev or test group,
specify a particular contact_group to use and it'll override whatever's set
in the template.

Nagios developers should take a page out of Snort and look at how 
Barnyard is implemented.

Also, DB support for configuration information would be super!

I would love to see the various open source projects attempting to use 
same or at least easily integrated table defs/schemas.

I'm now attempting to tightly integrate Snort, ACID, Nagios and some 
trouble ticketing/help desk apps plus various other smaller pieces. 
Would be great if there was an easy way to tie together the sensor table 
in the ACID schema with the host def in Nagios for example or use the 
same table.

Message-ID: <006401c353ba$4d620dc0$0a00a8c0@splash>

Hi All,

I have been watching Nagios for some time now. It seems to be loosing the critical notifications. I am running Version 1.1 with the latest version of plugins. Its running RedHat 7.3 with all the latest patches.

What happens is say a service HTTP turns critical, no notifications are sent. This does not happen everytime but most of the time. When the service returns to an OK state, a notification is sent. I have checked the configs and I do have the correct notification options. It seems it looses some of the critical/warning notifications but not the recovery notifications.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Richard Mayhew

Where do I put the 'define serviceextinfo{...}'? In a file? Which file -

Message-ID: <F5433C033DC6D611BA1200034742808631742E@NT-POST>

Hi list,

 

i am a new nagios enthused user. First I want to thank Ethan for this
perfect designed tool

After reading 2 days the documention I am absolutely convinced about the the
based concept.

 

I'm sorry to say that I miss some documention about the reporting features.

I don?t know how the following parameters affect the report:

 

Assume initial states

Assume state retention 

Backtracked archives

 

May be somebody can help me.

 

Thomas

Any idea how we can solve this? Should I revert back to Nagios 1.0 in the
mean time?

Hi all

Im wondering if there is a list of variables that one can use when creating
alarm macros in misccommand.cfg.

There are some examples in misccommands.cfg already like $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ and
so on, but are there a complete list somewhere?

Subject: BUG: in apt package on Debian
Message-ID: <33FBA5EFAEB12944B4B227F333B6F6737D84@timo>

Hi,

Found a bug in the Debian APT package.

 

The package doesn't set the access rights for /etc/nagios/hosts.cfg right. After it's finished the file has ownership root.root. Took me a while before I found that one.. :(

For the people with the same problem:

 

$ chown nagios.nagios /etc/nagios/hosts.cfg

 

Seems to be consistent, on a complete different Debian machine I hade the same problem.

 

Also missing is a APT plugin package for Nagios, after apt-getting it I still needed to manual install the plugins to get it all working..

 

Hope the apt-builder of the package is a member of this list.. :)

 

Gr,

Bart

I plan to use Nagios to provide a very simple view to my users of the 
availability of routers within our VPN network. For this I'm only 
interested in PINGing the different remote site routers in our VPN.

Can I use Nagios without the extra burden of the services.cfg file and 
limit my config to the hosts.cfg ? What are the side effects of not having 
a services.cfg file ?

When restarting the Nagios process I receive several warnings and error 
messages complaining about the lack of the services.cfg file. Despite 
these messages, Nagios seems to run fine.

Thanks, Jordi

No,

You'll require at least 1 service per host for Nagios to function 
happily, define a PING service for each host, and everything should be 
fine but you will still need to use the services.cfg

Hosts are never checked unless a service on that host fails. You must have at least one service defined for each host, even if it just a check_ping service.

Message-ID: <33FBA5EFAEB12944B4B227F333B6F6737D85@timo>

I used the next listing in /etc/apt/sources.list

---------------------------------------------------------------
deb ftp://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ sid main
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ sid main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main

deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main
---------------------------------------------------------------

Then give the command to update the apt db.
$ apt-get update

and then you can apt-get install the world.. like
$ apt-get install nagios-text

search what you need with
$ apt-cache search <keywords>

Works like charm.. But only on Debian.. 

Gr,
Bart

I've had similar problems myself, but please detail your method of 
notification. On my end, I was using email for notifications and the other

Subject: Run Nagios without service checks ?
Message-ID: <B6336D370EBD1647AD2A0F2FD434946B437997@top.jnpr.net>

If you define a service like:

define service{
service_description     check-ping
check_command           check_ping
use                     generic-service
contact_groups          nobody
host_name               *
}


This covers pinging ALL of your hosts defined in the hosts.cfg file, so
you don't need to edit both files when adding a host.

I did that but I'd like to monitor the SMTP conversation while sending 
mail to the address to see if delivery itself works!
My problem is not how to setup the email address but rather how to get 
nagios to send a testmail

Subject: service performance logs
Message-ID: <E37E01957949D611A4C30008C7E691E28B0424@aples3.dom1.jhuapl.edu>

I was wondering if anyone has a standard way of rotating your service
performance logs.  I've been letting mine go for some time now and it has
hit the 2G limit and of course that killed the Nagios process.  So I
manually rotated the thing and all is well.

I've tried using logrotate in the past, but after the rotation Nagios stops
logging to it.  I assume because the application has a lock on the file and
when rotated that changes.

Thanks for any help,

Lane

nice!

I don't suppose there is a way to specify a service for each host in a 
certain host group?

Since you are using the Debian Package from debian itself (you are,
arent you?), you should report the bug via reportbug(1).

Hi!

Well, I assume that you would like to:

a) Check for the string "Message accepted for delivery"

b) inject a message, and have a script run at the other end checking if
the message arrives, and when no message has arriven within a reasonable
time, then yell...


a) simply let your plugin connect, send your message after DATA, and
parse for Message accepted for delivery.
Mail adress should be bit-bucket at hosttocheck.domain, this is normally
forwarded in the aliases file to /dev/null
(Check your aliases file, there shall be such an account)
Or, if there are no local users defined at the Mailhub, simply let it
relay it to another host where such an account is specified
(virtusertable)


b) This is more tricky.
I did not have done it yet, I played with the following thoughts:

Two checks are needed:
Check1:
Inject message into MTA.
In the message body, write the timestamp of injection.
Parse for Message accepted for delivery.


Check2:
Let a script run periodically (perhaps via cron) on a remote machine.
remotemachine gets the email, and parses the message for the timestamp,
and validates against machine time.
When the delta is too big, give warning.
When within a certain time (say, 5 minutes) no email arrives at all,
give critical.

This machine should run nsca for remote alarming, so that upon alarm an
alert is submitted to the nagios master host.
You don't need to run nagios on that host itself for distributed
monitoring, you simply trigger the send_nsca script via the above
check-script that is run via cron.

I have this crontab entry under the "nagios" username.

59 23 * * *     /usr/local/nagios/bin/rotate-perfdata.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

I use this script:

#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/nagios/bin/rotate-perfdata.sh

BASEDIR="/usr/local/nagios"
VARDIR="$BASEDIR/var"

DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
sleep 60

for file in host service
do
   old="$VARDIR/${file}-perfdata.out"
   new="$VARDIR/${file}-perfdata.$DATE.out"
   mv $old $new && gzip $new
done
===

It's pretty simple, but it suits my needs.  It probably needs more features, like
putting all files in a YYYYMM directory, so the /usr/local/nagios/var directory doesn't
fill up.  Or move them to a new location.  Whatever you'd like.

Well, haven't run into this.
(OK, mostly running netsaint in the past)

nagios itself should have the ability to rotate the important logs...

Otherwise, as seen also with apps like apache, when you kick away the
log, you have to send a SIGHUP to the application, so that they start to
write the log again, because utils that rotate logs, will mostly place
the new, fresh log when touched, on a new inode, so the app will need a
SIGHUP to recognize this.
(Well, I mostly ran netsaint with FreeBSD, the newsyslog util there
(logrotate-like, in the base system) also has the possibility to tell
newsyslog which where the file with the pid can be found to be hup'ed.

Be careful, I've seen on hosts with large sums of services to check,
that a HUP does no good to netsaint, because before completing saving
retention data, it is up again...
Will mess certain things up.

Hi!

Well, then you should familiarize a bit with the Net::Telnet Module of
perl. Can send lots of things to a standard TCP-Port.

Or there should be made the joint effort to write a plugin which also
does injecting...

Could be called:  check_smtp_inject

I don't know of a plugin that does this already.

You can use sendmail to run a script if an e-mail is sent to a certain
user by putting the following in the alias file:

username :| /path/to/script

perhaps you could have the script submit the check result. So it would
look like this:
Nagios check_smtp sends an e-mail to mailcheck at hostname, the receiving
host receives the e-mail and submits a success message to nagios, or
perhaps to the check_smtp command somehow? If there is no response
within the predetermined time (1min maybe) a critical response is
logged. Does that make sense?

Subject: Problems with Host Dependencies/Parents
Message-ID: <A8BC48576797E74894502B59F74B480013F81B@admin.nmt.edu>

I've been using Nagios for several months now, but I have not been able to figure out one thing...
 
First off, I have about 150 hosts I am monitoring.  Each one is setup with a PING service (and a couple have HTTP, SMTP, etc.).  The services all work flawlessly.  However, hosts are almost always "assumed to be up".  I understand that Nagios only checks the state of a host when a service goes down, but it does not check even when a service has failed!
 
For example:  I have a series of five switches, daisy-chained in a row.  Each one is the parent of the next.  Dependencies are also defined so that switch2 depends on switch1, switch3 depends on switch2, etc.  Now, when I unplug any of the switches, the PING service goes down on that switch and all of the switches beyond it.  However, Nagios still believes the HOSTS are UP.  In addition, I get a notification for each switch that is now unreachable, even though I specifically told Nagios not to send notifications about UNREACHABLE hosts.
 
I believe the problem is that Nagios is not realizing the host is unreachable, and is therefore sending a notifications, since the emails I am receiving are all concerning the PING service, and not the host itself.  That would also explain why it is not silencing the alerts for the unreachable switches beyond the unplugged switch.  Nagios does not seem to want to check the host state, nor does it want to climb up the dependency tree to find which host is causing the problem.
 
Where did it all go horribly wrong?  Hopefully, that is enough information.  Please let me know if I can provide any more details.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Nagios plug-in package for Debian is still named "netsaint-plugins".
Do an "apt-cache search netsaint-plugins" for the different versions. I
have installed them on stable with a back-ported Nagios package and they
worked fine.

Scott,

Did you get any feedback on this problem?  I'd like to set up something
similar, but based upon your report I'm skeptical it will be of any use.

Today, my local Cisco router went down.  Call it hw-router. :)  Well, I
have
a bunch of machines defined as "coloc-host".  Here's what the foo.cfg
file
says:
------------------
define host {
  use                             coloc-host

  host_name                  foo
  alias                           foo
  address                      vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz
}
-----------------

Here's what the hosts.cfg file says:

------------------
define host {
  name                            coloc-host
  notifications_enabled           1
  event_handler_enabled           1
  flap_detection_enabled          1
  process_perf_data               1
  retain_status_information       1
  retain_nonstatus_information    1

  check_command                   check-host-alive
  max_check_attempts              3
  notification_interval           1
  notification_period             24x7

  register                        0
}
--------------------------

Well, when hw-router went down, when it came back up, I got about a
dozen
pages telling me that each of the coloc hosts was down, and then back
up. I
thought it wasn't supposed to do this to me, based on the config above.
Any
help would be appreciated.

It was my understanding that if a HOST was down, no services would be
checked.

I've got:

Nagios -> NAT Router -> Cisco Router -> Rack Router -> Host -> a slew of
services

What's the purpose of having parent/child relationships with hosts if the
service checks are not suspended if a host is down?

That is, I thought the flowthrough was:

Let us assume I'm checking a service on MyHost:

1) Check the NAT Router host.  If he's up, continue.
2) Check Cisco Router host...
n) etc.
n+1) Check MyHost.  Is he up?  If so, check the service.

This, I thought, was all controlled from 2 places:
1) Definition of service on MyHost.cfg in services
2) Definition of host on MyHost.cfg in hosts.

The host entry has parents, and if any of those hosts are down, aren't
service checks suspended?

Ahh well, forgot about that feature...

Will fit nicely, but I would not trigger some direct action via
sendmail.

Yes, but how do you realize the critical event? You would still need
some eventhandler to do this, that runs regularly.

I suggest the following approach:

Mail is sent via whether plugin from within nagios, or from a cronjob on
the nagios box whatsoever. Just make sure that we expect an email to be
delivered.

sendmail gets the mail, and upon arrival the script writes a value
(perhaps the body of the mail with a timestamp) in a
simple plain text file.

a cron job triggers a script any minute or so, that has a look at this
file. If the timestamp within this file is ok and is max. 1min away from
the system time, submit an OK result to the nagios master, when any
other condition hits, submit a critical.

Conditions might be:

No file present (perhaps no mail injected due to failure of injection),
or SMTP down, or value in file too old because of delayed delivery.

Read the dependencies section.  Parents affect such things as the status
map and have nothing to do with monitoring... what you are describing
below is dependencies.

Hello,

I am running Nagios and have a few hosts which I am testing on.  Everything
is running great and my hosts and services are all up barring a couple I am
aware of.  The problem is....when I go to generate reports for these
hosts/services, I do not get any information in the graph/report whatever.
When I detail the service or host, it says its up and it is green.  The
exception is for the service I know should is not running.  That does report
down and shows up as down in reporting.  Anyone seen this happen before???  

Thanks mucho!

Pete

Hi!

I'm using Nagios 1.1 with MySQL-Support (compiled with

APAN works fine, but there's just one thing missing: I can't get the 
Icons for the extended service information to work ...

I haven't understood how to tell Nagios that there are extended 
information for some hosts/services.
Where do I put the 'define serviceextinfo{...}'? In a file? Which file - 
it didn't work with serviceextinfo.cfg ...

Regards, Jens

Ethan?
Any idea how we can solve this? Should I revert back to Nagios 1.0 in the
mean time?

Thanks

Hi all

Im wondering if there is a list of variables that one can use when creating
alarm macros in misccommand.cfg.

There are some examples in misccommands.cfg already like $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$
and
so on, but are there a complete list somewhere?

Hi,

Found a bug in the Debian APT package.

=20

The package doesn't set the access rights for /etc/nagios/hosts.cfg =
right. After it's finished the file has ownership root.root. Took me a =
while before I found that one.. :(

For the people with the same problem:

=20

$ chown nagios.nagios /etc/nagios/hosts.cfg

=20

Seems to be consistent, on a complete different Debian machine I hade =
the same problem.

=20

Also missing is a APT plugin package for Nagios, after apt-getting it I =
still needed to manual install the plugins to get it all working..

=20

Hope the apt-builder of the package is a member of this list.. :)

=20

Gr,

Bart

Subject: [Nagios-users] Run Nagios without service checks ?

I plan to use Nagios to provide a very simple view to my users of the 
availability of routers within our VPN network. For this I'm only 
interested in PINGing the different remote site routers in our VPN.

Can I use Nagios without the extra burden of the services.cfg file and 
limit my config to the hosts.cfg ? What are the side effects of not having 
a services.cfg file ?

When restarting the Nagios process I receive several warnings and error 
messages complaining about the lack of the services.cfg file. Despite 
these messages, Nagios seems to run fine.

Thanks, Jordi

No,

You'll require at least 1 service per host for Nagios to function 
happily, define a PING service for each host, and everything should be 
fine but you will still need to use the services.cfg

deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main

deb ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stable main
---------------------------------------------------------------

Then give the command to update the apt db.
$ apt-get update

and then you can apt-get install the world.. like
$ apt-get install nagios-text

search what you need with
$ apt-cache search <keywords>

Works like charm.. But only on Debian..=20

If you define a service like:

define service{
service_description     check-ping
check_command           check_ping
use                     generic-service
contact_groups          nobody
host_name               *
}


This covers pinging ALL of your hosts defined in the hosts.cfg file, so
you don't need to edit both files when adding a host.

Subject: [Nagios-users] service performance logs

I was wondering if anyone has a standard way of rotating your service
performance logs.  I've been letting mine go for some time now and it has
hit the 2G limit and of course that killed the Nagios process.  So I
manually rotated the thing and all is well.

I've tried using logrotate in the past, but after the rotation Nagios stops
logging to it.  I assume because the application has a lock on the file and
when rotated that changes.

Thanks for any help,

Lane

nice!

I don't suppose there is a way to specify a service for each host in a 
certain host group?

I have this crontab entry under the "nagios" username.

59 23 * * *     /usr/local/nagios/bin/rotate-perfdata.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

I use this script:

#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/nagios/bin/rotate-perfdata.sh

BASEDIR="/usr/local/nagios"
VARDIR="$BASEDIR/var"

DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
sleep 60

for file in host service
do
   old="$VARDIR/${file}-perfdata.out"
   new="$VARDIR/${file}-perfdata.$DATE.out"
   mv $old $new && gzip $new
done
===

It's pretty simple, but it suits my needs.  It probably needs more features,
like
putting all files in a YYYYMM directory, so the /usr/local/nagios/var
directory doesn't
fill up.  Or move them to a new location.  Whatever you'd like.

Since you are using the Debian Package from debian itself (you are,
arent you?), you should report the bug via reportbug(1).

Hi!

Well, I assume that you would like to:

a) Check for the string "Message accepted for delivery"

b) inject a message, and have a script run at the other end checking if
the message arrives, and when no message has arriven within a reasonable
time, then yell...


a) simply let your plugin connect, send your message after DATA, and
parse for Message accepted for delivery.
Mail adress should be bit-bucket at hosttocheck.domain, this is normally
forwarded in the aliases file to /dev/null
(Check your aliases file, there shall be such an account)
Or, if there are no local users defined at the Mailhub, simply let it
relay it to another host where such an account is specified
(virtusertable)


b) This is more tricky.
I did not have done it yet, I played with the following thoughts:

Two checks are needed:
Check1:
Inject message into MTA.
In the message body, write the timestamp of injection.
Parse for Message accepted for delivery.


Check2:
Let a script run periodically (perhaps via cron) on a remote machine.
remotemachine gets the email, and parses the message for the timestamp,
and validates against machine time.
When the delta is too big, give warning.
When within a certain time (say, 5 minutes) no email arrives at all,
give critical.

This machine should run nsca for remote alarming, so that upon alarm an
alert is submitted to the nagios master host.
You don't need to run nagios on that host itself for distributed
monitoring, you simply trigger the send_nsca script via the above
check-script that is run via cron.

Well, haven't run into this.
(OK, mostly running netsaint in the past)

nagios itself should have the ability to rotate the important logs...

Otherwise, as seen also with apps like apache, when you kick away the
log, you have to send a SIGHUP to the application, so that they start to
write the log again, because utils that rotate logs, will mostly place
the new, fresh log when touched, on a new inode, so the app will need a
SIGHUP to recognize this.
(Well, I mostly ran netsaint with FreeBSD, the newsyslog util there
(logrotate-like, in the base system) also has the possibility to tell
newsyslog which where the file with the pid can be found to be hup'ed.

Be careful, I've seen on hosts with large sums of services to check,
that a HUP does no good to netsaint, because before completing saving
retention data, it is up again...
Will mess certain things up.

Hi!

Well, then you should familiarize a bit with the Net::Telnet Module of
perl. Can send lots of things to a standard TCP-Port.

Or there should be made the joint effort to write a plugin which also
does injecting...

Could be called:  check_smtp_inject

I don't know of a plugin that does this already.

You can use sendmail to run a script if an e-mail is sent to a certain
user by putting the following in the alias file:

username :| /path/to/script

perhaps you could have the script submit the check result. So it would
look like this:
Nagios check_smtp sends an e-mail to mailcheck at hostname, the receiving
host receives the e-mail and submits a success message to nagios, or
perhaps to the check_smtp command somehow? If there is no response
within the predetermined time (1min maybe) a critical response is
logged. Does that make sense?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problems with Host Dependencies/Parents

I've been using Nagios for several months now, but I have not been able =
to figure out one thing...
=20
First off, I have about 150 hosts I am monitoring.  Each one is setup =
with a PING service (and a couple have HTTP, SMTP, etc.).  The services =
all work flawlessly.  However, hosts are almost always "assumed to be =
up".  I understand that Nagios only checks the state of a host when a =
service goes down, but it does not check even when a service has failed!
=20
For example:  I have a series of five switches, daisy-chained in a row.  =
Each one is the parent of the next.  Dependencies are also defined so =
that switch2 depends on switch1, switch3 depends on switch2, etc.  Now, =
when I unplug any of the switches, the PING service goes down on that =
switch and all of the switches beyond it.  However, Nagios still =
believes the HOSTS are UP.  In addition, I get a notification for each =
switch that is now unreachable, even though I specifically told Nagios =
not to send notifications about UNREACHABLE hosts.
=20
I believe the problem is that Nagios is not realizing the host is =
unreachable, and is therefore sending a notifications, since the emails =
I am receiving are all concerning the PING service, and not the host =
itself.  That would also explain why it is not silencing the alerts for =
the unreachable switches beyond the unplugged switch.  Nagios does not =
seem to want to check the host state, nor does it want to climb up the =
dependency tree to find which host is causing the problem.
=20
Where did it all go horribly wrong?  Hopefully, that is enough =
information.  Please let me know if I can provide any more details.  Any =
help would be greatly appreciated!

All,

I understand the conept behind maintaining state etc, but for some

enable/dissable in my config to allow for accurate data collection ie:
availability. I *always* have to select the initial state in order to
get any output (which shows: Faked Log Entry).

How do I get it to NOT fake a log entry and read the actual data from
the logs to show valid availability? This has been running for months
now (I figured after a while it would stop faking the log entry as
there was enough data collected) but I was wrong ;)

any suggestions are appreciated,

The Nagios plug-in package for Debian is still named "netsaint-plugins".
Do an "apt-cache search netsaint-plugins" for the different versions. I
have installed them on stable with a back-ported Nagios package and they
worked fine.

Scott,

Did you get any feedback on this problem?  I'd like to set up something
similar, but based upon your report I'm skeptical it will be of any use.

This is weird.
 
If I reload my server detail page, eventually I will get an "old status"
from a few hours ago. I have produced this in both IE and netscape, both
of which have caching disabled. I completely reset nagios wiping out all
logs, service detail should say pending and 0d 0h 0m duration. But if I
refresh 10 times or so, an old status page pops up with GREEN for
certain services and a duration of 10 days or something.
 
I am not sure if this is a browser or nagios issue. Can anybody else
duplicate this behavior?

What sort of input do you envision?  I've been fiddling with dumping config
files out of the PostgreSQL database of our current system.  It's not a
perfect match, but still seems like it holds some promise.  I'm still
expermenting with it, though.

Thanks for that.  Now that I know where to read the docs, I have a
question.  The document says:

    As with service dependencies, host dependencies are not inherited.

What's the rationale for this?  That just seems to make dependency
definitions more tedious and redundant.

Thanks,

Subject: NSCA or NRPE for Performance
Message-ID: <000501c35550$f5ab6160$6701010a@kazkdsxp>

Hello list,

 

We have been using Nagios for nearly a year now and love it!  We are looking
at extending our utilization of by integrating NSCA/NRPE.  In the
environment that we hope to utilize the remote service, the remote machine
queries nearly 1000 devices via SNMP every 10 minutes.  Nagios by itself
does a great job of scheduling and runs smoothly.    I have a nagios test
machine setup and there is almost no laod (never above 0.2 thanks to the
SNMPPD!!!), however, I am concerned that once I have 100 or more of these
remote machines running, all monitoring 1000 devices (yes, that is about
100,000 devices) the nagios central server will grind to a halt.  Currently
this is a dual Xeon 2.4 with 2 GB of ram.  I realize we may need to segment
these "central" servers to allow for proper scalability.

 

My question is, however, which is better for performance on the central
server, NSCA or NRPE?  I read in one thread about how NSCA sends all data to
a FIFO pipe and that pipe has a limited buffer so service checks which come
in all at once may get dropped.

 

Please advise!

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Subject: Bus Error during Solaris compile
Message-ID: <48F26311AF9C9943926CA0CD204BC214BB09BF@nwa-srv-01.newworldapps.com>

Hello all,
I keep thinking this should be a simple problem, but I've bashed my head
against it repeatedly to no avail. I'm trying to compile Nagios 1.1 on
Solaris 8, installed on an Ultra 5, with the most rescent patch cluster
installed. I'm using GCC 3.0, and I've been able to compile other software
just fine.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks,

-Chris Gill

Not exactly what you asked for, but have you looked at
contrib/check_email_loop.pl?

Doen't meet your spec, but might satisfy your goals.

Subject: Notification acknowledgement and escalation
Message-ID: <1059454885.297.64.camel@inferno>

Hi all

I'm a new Nagios user, and I've found it a bitch to setup, but great
once its running.

I have a question regarding escalation, which I've not been able to find
the answer to in the documentation: Does nagios continue to escalate
notifications if a problem has been acknowledged?

I have a situation in which I need to escalate certain notifications if
and only if the problem has not been acknowledged.  If this isn't
currently supported by nagios, please consider this a feature request :)

Thanks

Dale

Correct me if I'm wrong, or don't get the problem here, but you have the 
following line:

notification_options d,u,r

That means that you will get notified when the parent is down, as you 
have inserted the u(nreacheable) flag. Remove that, and you will get no 
notifications.

Message-ID: <006c01c355aa$b3738700$6a01a8c0@arcom1>

Hello List,

my problem still exist. It get the notification just after the first failure
and not after the 5th try.
The failure is always a "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds" using

check_ping!200.0,40%!500.0,80%

I'm just wondering why the timeout time is 10 seconds, i set it to
service_check_timeout=60 in nagios.cfg

The values in the service definition are

normal_check_interval    3
max_check_attempts      5
retry_check_interval       1

and i didn't changed the interval_length=60

So i get the host down notification immediately after the first check and
just a few seconds later the recovery notice.

This is very anoying since it happens mostly at night when out connection is
quite busy and i'm sleeping :-(

Has anyone any idea?

Hallo !

Is it possible to show Service Problems and Host Problems in one window?

It would be nice to have one button "Problems" to show the problems.


Thanks for help

Andre

I've solved this by simply adding a separate contact for each media the person 
should be contacted on. so 'royemail' and 'roysms' sends to different places

Hi All,

when sending out notification where the info text has a % in it ie Packet
Loss = 5% - RTA = 100.3ms it drops all data after the % so you end up with
Packet Loss = 5

any ideas how to get around this?

A security hole? How do you figure that???

Anyway, try using "/bin/echo -e" in your notification command. I think 
the standard is printf?

But if you have a host where the host is unreachable but the service is ok, 
then it doesn't show up there. Theoretically it shouldn't happen, but I've 
got a config right now where this happens. I can post screenies if you 
don't believe me :)

I'm guessing you have preserved configs from an earlier install? 

This was a problem in the past, but AFAICT it is fixed in CVS and in the 
recent releases. 

You should have: 

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 1.0 **  ..... 

As someone mentions, 'echo -n' will work for some systems, but it is not 
portable.

Hi,

I'd like to open Nagios in an new Browser window which shows only a

chnage to another View after checking the specified server.

when I use

only the detailed view of the server without the fame set will be shown ....

Any hints?

Thanks and regards, Jens

Hi all ! 
Just now I have upgraded my Nagios installation on both the master and
the slave server to version number
1.1. I also installed the latest nsca version. 
Still I can monitor nagios procs starting to hang around. After a couple
of minutes of ditributed monitoring I have already 60 procs
And the performance info in nagios tells me the nagios process is no
longer running ..... Status.log is no langer updated.
This problem must be a bug, or what am I doning wrong. 
Both installations work as standalone very well. 

Output of an strace :

I've run into a problem with these 2 plugins.  Both have nagios owner permissions and can operate just fine having logged in as nagios and executing the commands.  The problem is that when I plug the information into the services.cfg, the webpage reports    (No Output!) next to both of those plugins.  I am running FreeBSD 4.8 w/ nagios 1.1.  Any insight would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

As the emphasis in Nagios is put on services, that's where it all 
starts. So if you have a functioning service on an unreachable server, 
then there is a problem in your setop, no?

I did something like this for a while.

Had a cron job that sent an email to a specific test email address on
our exchange server every five minutes. That test address was set to
forward all mail to a test address on the Netsaint host. I had a
sendmail alias setup for that address to run a passive service check
submission.

I think I then had a service that checked to ensure that the passive
service triggered by receipt of the email didn't get stale. If the
email hadn't succeeded in triggering the passive service check
submission in 15 minutes, it went critical.

This was because we were having issues with the SMTP portion of
exchange locking up on the mailserver.

Just my $0.02 worth. ;]

Yes, the problem is a VPN that restricts the number of connections across 
it at the hardware level (new hardware that my cheapskate bosses finally 
approved is on backorder, go figure). The service check is done thru NRPE, 
but when that fails it tries to ping directly across the VPN for the 
check_host_alive function. I'm too lazy to fix it, as I have more important 
things to do like setting up the host_ and service_dependency strings on 
200-some odd devices, so for the time being it's just a minor annoyance.

But, it can happen. What I really don't like is that there's a button for 
"Check all services on this host immediately" but not "Check host 
availability immediately" or something similar. I'll deal, but IMO it's a 
valid criticism.

Subject: State Retention
Message-ID: <NEEMIAGJDDDPMAINOEFDGECHFAAA.toddm@toddles.com>

I'm not sure why this happened, but for some reason, Nagios has stopped
retaining state information on restart.  I recently upgraded to 1.1 and have
also been playing around with NagMin, so this may have some impact, but I'm
stuck at this point and am looking for some insight.

In my nagios.cfg file, I have the following set:

retain_state_information=1
state_retention_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.sav
use_retained_program_state=1

The status.sav file gets created when I stop the service, but when I
restart, all services are in PENDING state.  I must be missing something,
but I can't figure out what.  If anyone can help me out with this, that
would
be great.

Thanks,
Todd

Folks

Small problem with nrep 2.0b5 with openssl 0.9.7b 

Configure does not pick up the ssl libs even if using

./configure --prefix=/local/nagios --enable-ssl --with-ssl-lib=/usr/local/openssl/lib --with-ssl-inc=/usr/local/openssl/include --enable-command-args

Fix is to do the following

# diff -e configure.orig configure
2015c
        for dir in $ssl_inc_dir /usr/local/openssl /usr/local/ssl /usr/lib/ssl /usr/ssl /usr/pkg /usr/local /usr; do
.

Subject: Do escalations obey contact notification periods?
Message-ID: <81123484.1059477688@[10.0.0.131]>

Just wondering if notifications pushed out via the service/host/hostgroup 
escalations obey timeperiods set for a contact or not....Right now I'd like 
it not to because I want to use the escalation to notify *EVERYONE* in the 
group of a problem, without sending multiple copies to the person who 
happens to be on call by maintaining multiple contact definitions with the 
same pager/email.

TIA!

Subject: Problem with statusmap
Message-ID: <7130A2B11CF2284D98ACFA08FE0AFEDC08A3B1@newton.bsb.tba>

Hi Nagios gurus,

I installed a Red Hat 7.3 Linux box with the needed libraries (libdg, libjpeg, libpng...) and its sources. Then I updated all packages with Red Hat up2date tool. I compiled and installed Nagios 1.0 (and plugins-1.3-beta) with the default settings (user nagios, group nagios, base dir /usr/local/nagios, etc - didn't pass any arguments). The service and host checks, as well as the notifications, are just fine. My problem is the statusmap cgi. It shows up using the circular layout I configured as default and the colors (red or green) reflect the actual host status, but the location where the .gd2 image should appear is filled by an empty square. The pop-up information (read from the hosextinfo.cfg file) is OK, including a .gif icon. I'd a 8.0 version of Red Hat installed and Nagios 1.1 with the exactly same problem (and config files).

Here goes an excerpt from my hostextinfo.

define hostextinfo{
	host_name nagios_server
	icon_image nagios.jpg
	icon_image_alt nagios.gif
	vrml_image nagios.png
	statusmap_image nagios.gd2
}

Did anyone has the same problem? Please help me.

Regards,

Raoni Castro.

I don't think so, but I would like something like this also, because
then you could define a standard service like check-host-alive and a
standard service dependecy like

define servicedependency {
host_name                      host
service_description            PING
dependent_service_description  *,!PING
execution_failure_criteria     n
notification_failure_criteria  w,u,c
}

If "!PING" is missing, then nagios complains about circular
dependencies and you have to enter a dependency for every single
service... *arg*


Thanks and Cheers
Nicki

Nevermind answered my own question digging through code.

Yes they do obey the contact's timeperiod.

check your apache logs and make sure it is able to read the file.  I had the same problem and found tha the permisions on the .htaccess .htpasswd files were set wrong so apache was unable to read them.

Message-ID: <3F26D3FF.1050408@noaa.gov>

Hello,
I am curius if anybody out there is monitoring NFS mounts in Nagios? I am 
currently looking to monitor if an NFS mount goes stale. Is anybody aware of a 
plug-in out there that is able to do this? Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem every once in a while - if i run in daemon mode -
sometimes it will just stop sending notifications.  The notifications are noted
in the nagios log - but the mail system never records recieving them.

What I have done if/when this happens - is restart the nagios process using at -
and run it w/out the -d switch.    this has "recovered" the loss of
notifications for me.

I am on 1.0

Ethan?
Any idea how we can solve this? Should I revert back to Nagios 1.0 in the
mean time?

Thanks

Hello Douglas,

   I check automounts (basically the same thing as you want to do) via
check_by_ssh.  I set up a test to use check_by_ssh to basically cat a
file in the nagios user's home directory (which is automounted on one
of our networks).  This file simply has the string "Automount OK" in
it.

   If the test is successful, "Automount OK" is displayed.  If it isn't,
it'll show the error that check_by_ssh returns.

Benny

Is there any way to view only the alerts from "bad states", like CRITICAL, WARNING, DOWN, UNREACHEABLE, UNKNOW, when I'm checking the Alert History (web interface)? 
Or better, is there any way to don't logging "good states" in nagios.log and /var/log/messages? 
 
Thanks,

I do monitor quite a few nfs mounts. However, I'm a bit new at this, so 
whether I'm actually checking to for freshness, I don't know. To monitor 
nfs I use check_rpc in the services.cfg file. The command is defined as

# 'check_rpc' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_rpc
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_rpc -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C nfs
        }

We're happy with it!

Hello Irene,

   I believe this test will tell you if NFS is no longer availible via
portmapper, but I don't think it's going to tell you if an NFS-mounted
remote filesystem has become availible.

Subject: Converting to distributed monitoring
Message-ID: <3F26FC84.30701@cerberian.com>

I have just setup distributed monituring and converted my services to 
use passive-service template, as follows:

define service{
        use                             passive-service
        host_name                       sp.eu
        service_description             CS
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              2
        normal_check_interval           1
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  on-call
        notification_interval           0
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_cs
        }


where passive-service template look like this:


define service{
        name                            passive-service
        active_checks_enabled           0     
        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      
                                                                         
        register                        0   
        }

I then restarted the nagios process.

Now, this works only if I go to the Service Commands page and Disable 
checks of this service.   Is this the way it should be?

Thanks,

-Mohammad

Subject: ok => warn => crit => warn => crit (notifications)
Message-ID: <6.0.0.14.2.20030729210414.00b8f100@pop1.mail.com>

Nagios keeps resending notifications when a service goes in this state 
sequence:

ok => warn => crit => warn => crit

It sends 1 notification in the first critical state, and then another 
notification on the second critical notification.

Real world example:
Ping time in one host goes from:
15 ms (ok) => 100 ms (warning) => 300 ms (critical)
here it sends one notification, so far so good
then
300 ms (critical) => 150 ms (warning) => 300 ms (critical)
it sends ANOTHER notification.

How can I avoid this?
I know what state flapping is, but state flapping is a different concept 
(ok => critical => ok).

PS: the service notification_options is c,r

Subject: Problem with check_ntp
Message-ID: <A38AC319DB63F3428F5B19FEE3488A651DC33D@achilles.insynclh.com>

Have Nagios 1.0 running on two different machines. One running RedHat
7.3 and one running Solaris 5.8. They are both monitoring the same
services on the same servers. One just happens to be at our office, and
one is at the client. The RedHat box can do NTP checks no problem, but
the Solaris box gets this: "NTP UNKNOWN: Jitter too high" This is only
on 3 boxes, there are 6 other boxes that it checks just fine. 

 

The check command is stock:

 

# 'check_ntp' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check_ntp

        command_line    $USER1$/check_ntp -H $HOSTADDRESS$

        }

 

Suggestions? I have searched newsgroups and google to no avail.

 

Thanks!

Subject: nagios, timet, nrpe ... apan, rrdtool
Message-ID: <200307271433.43813@tg>

Hello there.

I have set up nagios to check nrpe throuh apan, with a very little extension. 
In the /etc/nagios/checkcommands.cfg apan takes the as the forth argument the 
macro $TIMET$. 

This should be the seconds since 1970 and something ;). But, as you can see, 
the same amount of seconds is passed several times at different timestamps. 
Is this a problem with the macro or did I make something completly wrong?

Below is a snippet of the /tmp/apan.debug messages, showing the timet problem.

Message-ID: <A4E368829D207D409DA98B2AC87924976CFA38@colossus.aav.com.au>

Hi there ,

I'm using Redhat 8.0 on Nagios. I've downloand both the bash version and the
perl version for SQL 2000 plugin. After I put it in libexec folder , and I
tried to run the perl version, it complained about cannot locate
DBD/Sysbase.pm in @inc .....

Is there anything else do I have to do install this plugin [the perl
version] to make it work ?? Apart from put it in libexec.


And what about bash version ? How do I add this new plugin to my Nagios ?

The error you are receiving is a response from your web server
indicating that the username and password you are supplying are
incorrect. If you are absolutely certain that the username and password
you are using match what is in /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.user then
your web server may not be able to read the htpasswd.users file or it
may be corrupt. Was that file generated with the htpasswd command? Your
httpd error log might have some useful information. It could also be
that your web server is not set up properly to process htaccess although
I suspect that if you are being prompted for a username and password
that it is. I would review any documentation for your web server that
applies to configuring htaccess with it.

Subject: check_oracle tip
Message-ID: <EE5168F102C06048B1130A070E6B89303C8592@PNNEMP02.pp.egg.com>

check_oracle tries to get the oracle home from the oratab (/etc/oratab or
/var/opt/oracle/oratab), based on the SID specified. You can also add a *
entry into the oratab and it will then use the ORACLE_HOME specified there.

Some people amend the check_oracle script to include the oracle environment
stuff. I wouldn't recommend that because an upgrade of check_oracle will
overwrite this and it seems that Oracle want you to use . oratab to source
your site specific stuff anyway.

The latter three could be very useful.

Message-ID: <B6336D370EBD1647AD2A0F2FD434946B4379BB@top.jnpr.net>

Hi,

How can I see all of the work nagios is performing on a check-by-check
basis? I find, unless I'm doing something wrong, that the syslog files
just show when either a service/host alert is generated or (in a
distributed environment) when a external command check is performed.

How do I get mor detailed info out of this?

Cheers,

Ian

Subject: Default value for use_agressive_host_checking (bug-like propertie
 s)
Message-ID: <EE5168F102C06048B1130A070E6B89303C859B@PNNEMP02.pp.egg.com>

Hi!

Wanted to see what other people thought about this because it looked like a
bug to me until I found the use_agressive_host_checking parameter.

I found a situation where a host uses only NRPE to do its service checks.
NRPE is stopped as part of a reboot, so all services are marked as CRITICAL
and the host is DOWN. When the host boots up, NRPE fails to restart.
However, the host is always considered as DOWN, even though pings do work,
because the host check is not run unless use_agressive_host_checking is set
to 1.

I understand there are performance improvements by settign this to 0, but
Nagios appears to be reporting wrong information and that is bad publicity.
Do people think it is a good idea for the default of
use_agressive_host_checking to be 1?

Ton

Subject: Nagios error when started as a daemon
Message-ID: <200307301210.h6UCA9Q16867@mailgate5.cinetic.de>

When I start nagios in "daemon mode" using the init script provided I get the following error:

schluffi:/tmp # /etc/init.d/nagios start
Starting network monitor: nagios
No lock file found in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock

No where in my configuration is there a pointer to /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock and yet nagios still insists on pointing there. 

The program does however start, but for whatever reason through the web interface I get the warning that it may not be running. 

Also when I start nagios on the command-line without the daemon option it starts fine and seems to be running, but the web-interface still says nagios is not running.

Any help is greatly appreciate.

Scott

Subject: Monitoring nagios checks
Message-ID: <B6336D370EBD1647AD2A0F2FD434946B4379C0@top.jnpr.net>

More info, on this,
I'm trying to workout why HOST ALERTS are generated by a distributed
server but are not getting sent to the central server. Only when a HOST
DOWN event occurs does nsca send an update to the Central server; but
even then, the Central server runs it's own checks AGAIN on the host to
determine whether it's down or not.

I'd have though that if a local distributed server says a particular
host is DOWN, the Central server ought to be able to take that as gospel
and send a notification out immediately rather than doing it's own
checks too.

Ideas?

Ian

I had the same problem.  You need to set the group owner on your
password file to the group for apache.  (In my case, I did a "chown
apache htpasswd.users").  Restart nagios and apache and your set.

hi ,
    thankyou for you response ,  i have checked all the cfg files and 
it
looks that all the  entries  are correct. but still i am  not  able to
view
nagios graphics
    ie  ( http://hostname/nagios) the page opens and if  i click any
links
in the Monitoring panel , it  asks for  authentication  ie i think you
have
to  give
    user as nagiosadmin  and password XXXXXX  . but i get  the
following
error

  Authentication required!

I had the same problem.  You need to set the group owner on your
password file to the group for apache.  (In my case, I did a "chown
apache htpasswd.users").  Restart nagios and apache and your set.

hi ,
    thankyou for you response ,  i have checked all the cfg files and
it
looks that all the  entries  are correct. but still i am  not  able to
view
nagios graphics
    ie  ( http://hostname/nagios) the page opens and if  i click any
links
in the Monitoring panel , it  asks for  authentication  ie i think you
have
to  give
    user as nagiosadmin  and password XXXXXX  . but i get  the
following
error

  Authentication required!

This isn't a real-user on your system, just a username/passwd
combination to access the cgi scripts on the Nagios web-pages.

Subject: check_oracle tip

I use check_by_ssh for my oracle monitoring, and I wrote a short script
to actually run the check_oracle plugin.

#!/bin/sh
export ORACLE_SID=$1
. /etc/OracleEnvironment
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_oracle --login $1


That way the environment gets set and the proper oracle_home is set.

Nope, but because of this problem, I think it would be worthwhile to have a
no-frames mode (or just dispense with frames altogether).

Nagios 1.1
Linux Mandrake 9.1

This is what I've got in hosts.cfg
define host{
        host_name               nito997
        alias                   bleble
        address                 nito997.bleble.pl
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   0
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }

In services.cfg I got 5 services for this host. All of them have made of this template:
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       nito997
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              5
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  SOS
        notification_interval           0
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,c,r
        }

I receive emails doubled for every notification. What's wrong?

Nagios 1.0

I added a new contact, and added the contact to a contact group.

The new contact isn't receiving email notifications when the rest of the
group is.

Is there something else that I need to do to enable email notifications for
this contact?

TIA

What would you like it to do?  You're telling it to notify you when it goes
critical, which it does.  The notification doesn't depend on the previous
state, only that it wasn't 'c'ritical.  You've suppressed the warning
notifications, otherwise you'd see all the state changes.

I had the same problem.  You need to set the group owner on your password
file to the group for apache.  (In my case, I did a "chown apache
htpasswd.users").  Restart nagios and apache and your set.

hi ,
    thankyou for you response ,  i have checked all the cfg files and it
looks that all the  entries  are correct. but still i am  not  able to view
nagios graphics
    ie  ( http://hostname/nagios) the page opens and if  i click any links
in the Monitoring panel , it  asks for  authentication  ie i think you have
to  give
    user as nagiosadmin  and password XXXXXX  . but i get  the following
error

  Authentication required!

This isn't a real-user on your system, just a username/passwd combination to
access the cgi scripts on the Nagios web-pages.

Subject: logs dissapering
Message-ID: <5DB017510818EC468B05BD7BD9EACF83038E7D4F@mismail.ena.com>

This is the same problem I have been experiencing. If you'll notice,
some logs end in -23.log. If you rename those to -00.log, the reporting
works fine again. The FAQ indicates that it's likely a result of the
time on the machine changing but that's not happening in my case.

Subject: check_oracle tip
Message-ID: <20030730150216.23394.qmail@linuxmail.org>

Lonny, 
 
I tried what you told me about exporting. But there wasn't an ORACLE_HOME var. exported. 
I am using this, and it is working (I think it is!): 
 
# checkcommands.cfg 
define command{ 
        command_name    check_oracle 
        command_line    sudo /bin/env -i "ORACLE_HOME=/home/acesso/OraHome1" $USER1$/check_oracle --tns $ARG1$ 
        } 
 
>From /etc/sudoers: 
nagios  localhost = NOPASSWD: /bin/env 
 
All the times nagios do a 'check_oracle' is generated a log entry in /var/log/messages. But  
it were expected. Instead not desired! :-} 
 
What do you think about this solution? Is there any security hole on this? 
 
Thanks, 
	- Rivanor.

I am thinking of implementing a distributed monitoring environment soon
but I am wondering if I should wait till the next version of Nagios
(2.0) comes out.  It looks like this version has many new features (such
as passive host checks) that will make distributed much easier).  I have
a server that is doing 1738 services for 1277 hosts and it is getting a
little slow :).

Any idea when 2.0 might be coming out... looks like the to-do list in
the upcoming section has shrunk down to only 1 item! 

Thanks.

Ric.

Restart the service.

I often forget that step and it takes me a few hours to figure it out. It's 
better than the times I edit the files on my machine and forget to upload 
them, however ;)

Hi all,

 

I experiencing with weird behavior of Nagios, could some one help me?

I have 9 services check for each node, and I have more than a hundred

When Nagios refreshes, some time it displays there are only 3 services

I just wanted to say a big "Thank You!" for Nagios.  It's been
wonderful, and my coworkers keep saying "wow" as they walk past
my desk.

I just downloaded it few days ago.  I found the documentation to
be very straight forward; I was able to follow it section-by-section
and have nagios up and running without any hastles.  Then I spent a few
days, off and on, tinkering and writing my plugins.  Then found that
Nagios works perfectly with pubcookie for authentication.  And now,
well, everything is just working great.

Nagios is now monitoring all of the significant services of the High
Performance Computing Center at the Univ. of SoCal along with all Globus
Grid services.  And it looks like we're going to use Nagios for all core
infrastructure on campus :)

Sounds like you have multiple, conflicting nagios processes running.

Subject: Process checks
Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.0.20030730143915.019b5670@mail.capband.net>

How are process checks handled by Nagios? What I mean is if I set the max 
concurrent checks to 10, why do I only ever see 4-5 checks running at a 
time? Also, when I run into one bad check (i.e. failed ping), all the other 
checks stop until this one bad check times out three times in a row.

It doesn't make any sense, but I'm able to get a repeatable pattern out of 
this by stopping nagios, removing the .log and .sav file and restarting. 
Every time it gets to a downed host, it slows to a crawl. I am running 
Nagios 1.06b.

I have some other questions on things like latency (it says 1 / 2781 / 
2643.1 seconds on the tactical overview. What the heck does that mean?) and 
why service checks take soooo looong to process, but I have a feeling the 
bottleneck is in failing checks. I still have 60 checks out of 150 that 
haven't processed because of this in *three hours*.

Message-ID: <3F281A6D.7000401@affinity.com>

Hello,
I've run into a small problem with the Nagios CGI's -- They take forever 
to parse. The status log is only (or maybe this is large...) 1MB in size.

I'm running the status log off a ramdisk and can't think of anything to 
do other than push more memory/cpu at the problem or run cron jobs to 
dump common pages (such as the status overview and summary) to a raw 
html file. Does anyone had any experience with tweaking the CGI's for 
faster processing? If so, what did you remove or change?

Thanks,
Jason

Also from that page --

"Also of note - when Nagios is check (sic) the status of a host, it
holds off on doing anything else (executing new service checks,
processing other service check results, etc). This can slow things down
a bit and cause pending service checks to be delayed for a while, but it
is necessary to determine the status of the host before Nagios can take
any further action on the service(s) that are having problems."

Yeah, its slow with large service/host sets.  There is a fix in the works
(I haven't checked if its fully in CVS yet or not).  Basically the problem is that
there is a linked list that gets traversed exp(host*services) worst case when parsing 
the status file.  That can take a really long time, and is being replaced by a hash
insert/lookup that should be several orders of magnitude faster.   Unless your
willing mess with stuff from CVS (wich looks to be changing fairly quickly so
the stability is - unknown) I'd say the static pages are probably the safest bet.
Once V2.0 is released this problem will go away.  Last I heard that will be this
fall, maybe sooner if someone kicks in some $$ to help Ethan and freinds :)

If you feel adventurous you could try playing with a lightweight php interface 
to the status file: available at: http://www.pcslink.com/~ryan/ You should only 
have to change where the cgi.ini file can be found in inc.php for it to work.
Its sort of a cludge as I ran out of memory when trying to read the whole file
into the php hash (while maintaining a reasonable 16M limit to php), so I back
hacked in some logic into the inc.php file that originally was only supposed to
be in index.php.  I also didn't spend a whole lot of time on it, so its ugly, 
and doesn't have any of the acknowledge, comment, etc.. features (which could 
be added as seperate php files pretty easily).  But it only takes <10 seconds 
for >8000 service/host definitions :>

You can do this but you must be able to see the mrtg log files in order
to read them.  The plug-in reads the log file and returns values based
on the thresholds you set.  This can be done by copying the *.log files
every 5 or so minutes or NFS mounting the file system.

Thanks.

Subject: SERVICE recovery notifications for HOST down
Message-ID: <E6DA8043C6A1214495F84A366D1DF4D20401AA39@postoffice.silabs.com>


Hi,

I know this question has been asked on this list before, but I've searched the list archives and never found a posted solution.

Basically, when a host goes down I see a notification for that event, but when it recovers what I get are notifications for the recovery of each individual SERVICE that is being monitored on that host.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Chandler

Subject: Bug in Nagios WRT argument interpolation?
Message-ID: <196800859.1059593366@[10.0.0.131]>

Nagios 1.1
Plugins 1.3.1

Both of these work fine when run from the command line, but inside of 
Nagios the swap check fails!!!  The snmp_load check however works like a 
champ inside of nagios, whats the deal?  I completely removed and redefined 
the swap stuff but still nothing.  If I run check_snmp from the command 
line, substituing variables properly, it works great.  Any way I can get 
Nagios 1.1 to *log* the *precise* exec()?  I have a huge suspicion of a bug 
inside of Nagios since both work from the command line, only one works when 
nagios execs it...

The only thing I can think of is that the argument interpolation isn't 
working out right.  Apologies if mulberry or your client line wraps any of 
the below stuff, rest assured that I quadruple checked for that inside of 
the checkcommand.cfg file.

TIA folks...

Finally figured it out...Maybe I should let all my nagios bugs sit for a 
few days before asking about them LOL :)

snmpget had some sort of issue locating MIBs.  Moved them around and it's 
fine now.

If I write in the adress bar of internet explorer "http:\\servername

I don't know which is a problem and because in the left menu the link of

Hi..
 
Im, trying to get Veritas Backup Exec to send a trap to nagios.
But when I read the doc, the example i written for another server to handle
the traps.
 
Is there someone out there who got this to work with just the nagios server?
Som guidelines or hints would be great :)

Subject: Late and "forgotten" checks
Message-ID: <3F28CC72.2070601@datamar.it>

Hi all,

I am running Nagios 1.1 on a P3 machine, with Linux RH7.3, 256 MB RAM 
and SCSI disks.
Currently, Nagios is monitoring 140 services on 27 hosts:  94 active 
services, and 46 passive, via NSCA.
All seems to work ok... but after 36 hours running, I have the following 
situation: all passive services are ok, and some (apparently random) 
active services have benn last checked 24 hours ago, and I see in the 
scheduling queue: last checked ... (24 hours ago) next time check ... 
(23 hours and 57 minutes ago). It seems that nagios forgot those services...
In the meanwhile, If I type ps -ef|grep nagios|wc on the server , I see 
that there are over 800 nagios processes running!
Somenone can help me? what's going on?

Subject: Read-Only Acces for a group of appr. 25 Admins
Message-ID: <3F28E415.2030308@mobilcom.de>

Hi!

I have to offer a read-only access for appr. 25 persons to Nagios 1.1.
They shall be able to view a few things which I'll configure in cgi.cfg. 
They won't receive any notifications etc.

What would be the best way to realize this without having them as single 
contacts, as
- there's a lot of changing within this group (people leaving and people 
coming new)
- I don't want to introduce dummy user-details (when I tried to add 
users just with their user name I received the following error: Contact 
name, alias, or email address and pager number are NULL)

Is there a way to map users to a standard user?

Authentication will be through APAche

Any hint is welcome!

Regards, Jens.

Well you could go the php way.  I used http://naupy.sf.net.  Only problem there is that you can't see services per contact, i.e. restricted users will see everything.  I had to hack at the code top get the restrictions to work properly.

Subject: check_sql_timer in python
Message-ID: <20030731104706.GE30391@ypsilon.net>

Hi,

i 've written a checking modul in python. It 's a little bit diffrent to
normal load or database checking modules.

You can give a file with diffrent sql - statements to the checker and
test if it is processed in a given time. 

I have developed this checker in cause of the senseless in checking load
on diffrent db - systems (we have mysqlserver that have problems with a
load of 4 and we have postgresql - server that can handle a load of 50).

So we can be sure that our sql - server is running smoothly without
thinking about load or discusage or something like that. We are checking
the result of all. (naturally we still monitor load, discusage,...)

If somebody things this is a cool thing i will keep on developing on it
if something happen.

Additional: It is supporting MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Subject: Read-Only Acces for a group of appr. 25
	Admins
Message-ID: <sf28c576.084@mail.fzacpa.com>

Why create contacts?  If they will only be able to view the information.  =
Just put them into the password file, set their permissions in cgi.cfg and =
forget about it.  Contacts are only for people that should be notified.

I do this with 3 admins that don't need notification, but want to be able =
to view things.

Hi!

I have to offer a read-only access for appr. 25 persons to Nagios 1.1.
They shall be able to view a few things which I'll configure in cgi.cfg.=20=

They won't receive any notifications etc.

What would be the best way to realize this without having them as =
single=20
contacts, as
- there's a lot of changing within this group (people leaving and =
people=20
coming new)
- I don't want to introduce dummy user-details (when I tried to add=20
users just with their user name I received the following error: Contact=20
name, alias, or email address and pager number are NULL)

Is there a way to map users to a standard user?

Authentication will be through APAche

Any hint is welcome!

Regards, Jens.

hi

    i have checked httpd.conf file  the entries  are as below and  i gave
"chgrp apache htpasswd.users" perm are below and


httpd.conf

User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
#  . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
#    suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
#  don't use Group #-1 on these systems!

you need to run "chgrp apache htpasswd.users"

I would suggest changing the owner back to root "chown root
htpasswd.users"

All this is contingent on your apache install running as user/group
apache.  Take a look at your httpd.conf file and find what user/group
apache is running with.

I had the same problem.  You need to set the group owner on your
password file to the group for apache.  (In my case, I did a "chown
apache htpasswd.users").  Restart nagios and apache and your set.

hi ,
    thankyou for you response ,  i have checked all the cfg files and
it
looks that all the  entries  are correct. but still i am  not  able to
view
nagios graphics
    ie  ( http://hostname/nagios) the page opens and if  i click any
links
in the Monitoring panel , it  asks for  authentication  ie i think you
have
to  give
    user as nagiosadmin  and password XXXXXX  . but i get  the
following
error

  Authentication required!

This isn't a real-user on your system, just a username/passwd
combination to access the cgi scripts on the Nagios web-pages.

I had the same problem.  You need to set the group owner on your password
file to the group for apache.  (In my case, I did a "chown apache
htpasswd.users").  Restart nagios and apache and your set.

hi ,
    thankyou for you response ,  i have checked all the cfg files and it
looks that all the  entries  are correct. but still i am  not  able to view
nagios graphics
    ie  ( http://hostname/nagios) the page opens and if  i click any links
in the Monitoring panel , it  asks for  authentication  ie i think you have
to  give
    user as nagiosadmin  and password XXXXXX  . but i get  the following
error

  Authentication required!

This isn't a real-user on your system, just a username/passwd combination
to
access the cgi scripts on the Nagios web-pages.

Message-ID: <1059657094.23766.8.camel@lts.ltsnetworks.net>

Hi,

I installed nagios yesterday and I've been wondering about the contacts
configuration. 

Briefly, is there a way we can add contacts OR contact groups and
assign them a value which would be increased each n times a notification
is sent and when reached, would send the notification to contact and/or
contact group matching that value ?

hi nicholas,

why don't you use the built in notifcation escalations ??

check the YOUR_NAGIOS_SERVER/YOUR_NAGIOS_SUBDIR/docs/escalations.html to
see how it works ...

Subject: NRPE+xinetd error
Message-ID: <20030731105855.4b9fa316.thiago@ntime.com.br>


	Hello, everyone.  I have searched for messages regarding a similar
problem to no avail, so I'm posting here.

	My setup is using check_nrpe (2.0b4, SSL enabled) with xinetd to poll
several servers. It works like a charm, but sometimes Nagios starts to
report this error on some services:

CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

	The service status goes to CRITICAL, and (I think) that is expected. 
Trying to figure out what's going on I saw that xinetd starts to output
error messages like this:

Jul 17 10:49:31 localhost xinetd[8700]: FAIL: nrpe service_limit
from=a.b.c.d

	That is normal behavior for xinetd when the service in regard reaches a
certain number of processes.  As expected, netstat -anp shows lots
of nrpe connections:

tcp        0      0 d.e.f.g:5666    a.b.c.d:56103    
ESTABLISHED 5825/nrpe
(many of these follows)

	So I figure nrpe is not releasing the connection and dying.  At first I
had the REUSE flag on my xinetd, but after removing I still get that
problem sometimes.  Here is my /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

        service nrpe
        {
                socket_type     = stream
                wait            = no
                user            = nobody
                server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
                server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i
                log_on_failure  += USERID
                disable         = no
                only_from       = a.b.c.d
        }

	Next I'll try to recompile nrpe without SSL support, but I wanted to
see if anyone had this problem before re-deploying on a bunch of
servers.  Any thoughts?

	Thanks in advance!

If you cannot get to http://machinename/, you have bigger problems than
just nagios.  There is a misconfiguration somewhere in your httpd.conf
file, or something happened during the installation of apache and file
were not properly copied.  Take a look at your httpd.conf file and check
the settings to make sure they are correct for your installation.

If you want to send me your httpd.conf file (off-list), I will take a
look at it to see if I can find any issues with it.

hi

    i have checked httpd.conf file  the entries  are as below and  i
gave
"chgrp apache htpasswd.users" perm are below and


httpd.conf

User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
#  . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and
the

#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)

you need to run "chgrp apache htpasswd.users"

I would suggest changing the owner back to root "chown root
htpasswd.users"

All this is contingent on your apache install running as user/group
apache.  Take a look at your httpd.conf file and find what user/group
apache is running with.

I had the same problem.  You need to set the group owner on your
password file to the group for apache.  (In my case, I did a "chown
apache htpasswd.users").  Restart nagios and apache and your set.

hi ,
    thankyou for you response ,  i have checked all the cfg files and
it
looks that all the  entries  are correct. but still i am  not  able to
view
nagios graphics
    ie  ( http://hostname/nagios) the page opens and if  i click any
links
in the Monitoring panel , it  asks for  authentication  ie i think you
have
to  give
    user as nagiosadmin  and password XXXXXX  . but i get  the
following

This isn't a real-user on your system, just a username/passwd
combination to access the cgi scripts on the Nagios web-pages.

Same here... annoying.
Hope it gets fixed in Nagios 2.0, otherwise this one should go to the "top
priority Nagios bugs" list.

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.53.0307311030520.14339@marcy.nas.nasa.gov>

Is there a standard method for managing, distributing, installing, plugins
in a large and heterogenous environment?  Is the standard technique
something like :

*install desired plugins wherever needed
*recompile for different platforms
*installing however one may choose to: rpm, binary tar balls, rdist...

I renamed any logs ending in -23.log to -00.log and something weird has
now happened...

when you go into any of the history files it will say 

log file navigation
fri jul 18 00:00:00 GMT 2003
to
Sat jul 19 00:00:00 GMT 2003

But all the dates displayed in the log are from Jul 19 00:00:00 GMT or
later...  The logs appear to have shifted a day...

Message-ID: <a05200f31bb4f16884efa@[63.172.201.5]>

Hello,

I was hoping you could help me with a problem I've been having.

When I was setting up the hosts.cfg file, I accidentally entered the wrong IP address for a host.

I've since then corrected the IP, but every so often it seems that Nagios is still trying to do a PING to the old address. If I go through the web administration and click on "Service Detail", from time to time it will show hosts as being down, and show the PING action as

/bin/ping -n -U -c 5 x.x.x.x

(x.x.x.x being the old ip address I entered first).

When I do a grep of the /usr/local/nagios folder to find the old IP address, I don't find any instances of it *anywhere* in the nagios folder (with the exception of the log files). Where is it getting the old IP address from and how can I permanently remove it?

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Jordan

 Hi, I want to use the check_mrtg but my Mrtg is running over other PC, not Nagios.

I can use the NRPE addons but I need to know if is possible that the remote host run Windows NT (not Linux)?.

Thanks,

I think you should reload nagios configuration (Stopping and restarting
nagios chapter in the nagios documentation)

Desired Action 			Command
Description 
Stop Nagios				/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios stop
This kills the Nagios process 
Restart Nagios			/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios restart
This kills the current Nagios process and then starts Nagios up again 
Reload Configuration Data 	/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload 	Sends a
SIGHUP to the Nagios process, causing it to flush its current
configuration data, 
	
reread the configuration files, and start monitoring again

Subject: Escalation Problems
Message-ID: <3F297A39.2010404@wpsc.com>

I've been trying to solve a problem with escalations for several days 
now. The issue is that I've defined a "host" escalation for a device. 
When the host goes down, it sends the standard notification. However, 
when the "escalation" should occur, I get no notices to any of the 
contacts(contact groups) I have defined. Conversely, when I remove the 
escalation, I still only get one standard notification, with no further 
notifications after the "notification_inteval".

I recompiled the nagios executable with the "--enable-DEBUG4" to see 
what may be happening. The console debug messages are shown below:

After the "Next acceptable notification time" expires, I receive no

below. My intervals are set small for testing, but was receiving the 
same behavior with the intervals set higher. I even tried using a 
"hostgroupescalation" and "serviceescalation" in attempts to get it 
working with no success.

What is the plugin version?  Also are there any differences between the 
Solaris boxes that work and don't work with respect to the ntp/xntp 
package versions?

Try running the plugin with a verbose output and posting the result along 
with all the above version info.

Subject: Service Dependency Templates
Message-ID: <1059688495.3646.8.camel@logan.ece.concordia.ca>

I have managed to clean up my services.cfg by using the time-saving
tricks.  Now I am setting up service dependencies and I would like to do
the same.  Not sure if this is possible, if not, then this is a feature
request.  :-)

Given a group of hosts, for each host, set up a service dependency:

define servicedependency{
        hostgroup_name			hostgroup
        service_description		service
        dependent_host_name		$HOSTNAME$
        dependent_service_description	dependent_service
        execution_failure_criteria	c
        notification_failure_criteria	c
}

If hostgroup contains (host1, host2, host3), then I would expect it to
expand out to this:

host1:dependent_service depends on host1:service
host2:dependent_service depends on host2:service
host3:dependent_service depends on host3:service


Also, it would be nice to specify a list of dependent services:

define servicedependency{
        hostgroup_name			hostgroup
        service_description		service
        dependent_host_name		$HOSTNAME$
        dependent_service_description	ds1,ds2,ds3
        execution_failure_criteria      c
        notification_failure_criteria   c
}

Giving:

host1:ds1 depends on host1:service
host1:ds2 depends on host1:service
host1:ds3 depends on host1:service
host2:ds1 depends on host2:service
host2:ds2 depends on host2:service
host2:ds3 depends on host2:service
host3:ds1 depends on host3:service
host3:ds2 depends on host3:service
host3:ds3 depends on host3:service


Is any of this possible?


Thanks,

Chris O'Regan
