No Info in reports or graphs!

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

Subject: [Nagios-users] Probs with APAN/Nagios and Extended Information with
Database Support

Hi!

I'm using Nagios 1.1 with MySQL-Support (compiled with 
'--with-mysql-xdata') and the newest APAN code.

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

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?

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 =

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.

I did that but I'd like to monitor the SMTP conversation while sending

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?

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!

Subject: [Nagios-users] Regarding State

All,

I understand the conept behind maintaining state etc, but for some
reason I can't for the life of me figure out what I need to
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,

Actually, Skip, I was just thinking about reposting, since, no, I did not
get anything back.

Anyone?

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.

Thx,

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.

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.

I think you're looking for dependencies and not parent/child...=20
