I appreciate if someone can help with my problem. I've got Nagios 1.1 installed and configured to run host and service event handler. Event handler works just fine until I restart the core Nagios process. I've set "log_event_handlers=1" and observed the log carefully and verified that service event handler is not called after I restart the Nagios process. I also use state retention, so I compared the status.log before and after I restart the Nagios process. I found that "Event handler enabled" field is reverted from 1 to 0, and "Accept Passive Checks" from 0 to 1.

I am a beginners on using linux. I need to use Nagios to monitor my network resource. I have already installed a linux distribution (Debian 3.0) and its nagios.

It's better to use a check that actually tests something. So for instance, if you are running sshd and httpd on the subject server, you may consider ssh to be stable beyond the need for testing, but might have want to check the web server. Then run check_ssh or check_tcp against the ssh port for your host check. Roughly speaking, this arrangement will be better than check_dummy whenevenr you have a TCP service that is more reliable than your network connection. In my experience, sshd is one server that is far more reliable than our network connection. -- Karl ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com Mon Sep 1 18:07:43 2003 From: Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com (Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com) Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2003 17:07:43 +0100 Subject: (no subject) Message-ID: Dear All, I was just wondering if anybody is successfully monitoring their SQL transaction logs size and usage through Nagios.

I have also tried to use SNMP but SQL MIBS are not available unless you purchase additional software. We are using NSCLient v 1.084 I would much prefer the check_nt route as it means we do not need to install additional software on each of our SQL Servers. If anybody is monitoring such statistics, could you share with me your methods and your config files ? Any help would be very much appreciated !

It looks like the home directory for the "nagios" user is invalid or missing, or the user is locked out or disabled. Do you get the same errors from "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios start"? Try taking out the "-l" in the line: su -l $Nagios -c "touch $NagiosVar/nagios.log $NagiosSav" That will keep su from doing a full login. That might get rid of the error messages without affecting the function of the script. The errors are not fatal, like you said, it restarts anyway. All it's doing is making sure that a couple of files exist before Nagios starts up. I don't think it's absolutely necessary to have those files anyway, is it? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. An alternative to the "su" might be this: --- # Flavor NagiosGrp to taste NagiosGrp=nagios touch $NagiosVar/nagios.log $NagiosSav chown $Nagios:$NagiosGrp $NagiosVar/nagios.log $NagiosSav chmod 640 $NagiosVar/nagios.log $NagiosSav --- > What operating system and version are you using?

Message-ID: <16213.449.293391.897809@montanaro.dyndns.org> My boss asked me to install a web-based admin interface for Nagios (said he required it to adopt Nagios as a replacement for our homegrown monitor). After a little fussing around I settled on NagMIN. Now NagMIN seems to be a very well-done piece of software, but editing a Nagios configuration through the web one record at a time is a pain. If I have to add a new machine with several services I wind up with a cycle of a half dozen or so through-the-web edits before I can reasonably think about clicking "Verify". In my mind doing this with a text editor is just a lot more efficient time-wise. So, with Nagios and NagMIN in place, I'd like to be able to also edit the config files directly, then reload them into NagMIN's MySQL tables. (I'm probably the only person here who will do it this way for the forseeable future.) This operation is already part of the setup process. I was hoping someone had abstracted/adapted that bit of functionality into a standalone script which can be used to simply feed config files into NagMIN's database.

Forgive my bluntness, but RTFM. As apache configs go, this is not that hard. And further, it is not a nagios issue, it is an apache config issue.

This is on Solaris 2.8. This problem is cosmetic, but a nuisance and have ruled out it being a browser problem (tried IE, Moz and Opera). Also found a possible bug in tac.cgi. When I go to the 'Tactical Overview' nearly everything displays correctly except for the 'Services' section. Going from left to right underneath the the colspan for the Services heading the Critical cell is stretched WAY OUT with the warning, unknown, ok and pending cells on that same row squished off the screen to the right. Unless I open the browser very large, I must scroll the display to see those headings. The 'Hosts' and 'Monitoring Features' display just fine (all evenly spaced). What's up with the Services section being so lopsided? It looks something like this... +------------------------------------------------------------+ |Hosts | +------------------------------------------------------------+ | 0 Down | 0 Unreachable | 34 Up | 0 Pending | +------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Services | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |0 Critical | 0 | 0 | 89 | 0 | | | Warning | Unknown | OK | Pending | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Hope that came out OK. To get the real effect, make that Critical cell twice its current width and you get the idea (did not do here to keep it from wrapping). I tried looking at the source for that frame and saw no glaring errors. However, I did spot the string "stye" which looks like it was simply misspelled. I located that code on lines 1186-1190 of tac.c. I thought this may have had some strange effect and corrected the code, rebuilt tac.cgi, but it had no effect (cells still uneven). _______________________________________________ Joe Morris, Web Systems Manager Academic Technology and Networks The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From jeff.vier at tradingtechnologies.com Wed Sep 3 08:13:24 2003 From: jeff.vier at tradingtechnologies.com (jeff vier) Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2003 01:13:24 -0500 Subject: notifications re-enabling themselves?

However, a significant percentage of the time, nagios "misses" these flags and re-checks and/or re-notifies about the problem. Obviously, if it's disabled, I want it to ignore the host/service. Now, this is not just an extrapolated guess, if you pull up the extinfo.cgi on a 'suspect' service and hit reload a few times, you can plainly see it cycling between Service Checks: Enabled and Service Checks: Disabled (same with Service Notifications). Is this a known issue? Is it fixed in CVS (which I can't get a full tree of because of "waiting for jovi's lock in /cvsroot/nagios/nagios/module")? If so, is there a patch that I can apply to my 1.1 source tree (in case CVS remains stuck)? Thanks for any help - this is quite urgent on my side, and I appreciate any insight (or even guesses, at this point). --jeff ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From jeff.vier at tradingtechnologies.com Wed Sep 3 09:14:43 2003 From: jeff.vier at tradingtechnologies.com (jeff vier) Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2003 02:14:43 -0500 Subject: notifications re-enabling themselves?

I'm running nagios 1.1 with a MySQL back-end (and apan, though I don't think that's a factor) and I am having a seriously bothersome problem (one that is paging people in the middle of the night!). I have a few hosts and services that are set as disabled both for checks and notifications. However, a significant percentage of the time, nagios "misses" these flags and re-checks and/or re-notifies about the problem. Obviously, if it's disabled, I want it to ignore the host/service. Now, this is not just an extrapolated guess, if you pull up the extinfo.cgi on a 'suspect' service and hit reload a few times, you can plainly see it cycling between Service Checks: Enabled and Service Checks: Disabled (same with Service Notifications). Is this a known issue? Is it fixed in CVS (which I can't get a full tree of because of "waiting for jovi's lock in /cvsroot/nagios/nagios/module")? If so, is there a patch that I can apply to my 1.1 source tree (in case CVS remains stuck)? Thanks for any help - this is quite urgent on my side, and I appreciate any insight (or even guesses, at this point). --jeff ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My efforts usually go to the task at hand and not always to the best reusability. Also, I beat my head against the wall for a while trying to figure out where to put the script so that when nagios authenticated to the windows box it would be part of the path so I resolved that by putting the path in the script. Anyway, here's a script that the netsaint service on windows. I used the sample code that the nagios docs provide and just modified a few things. This code goes on the windows box.

I am about 99% sure that I did not have multiple instances running, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that, say, '/etc/init.d/nagios reload' (which I had run) spawned a rogue duplicate process (which, assuming it needs to bind to a port like a normal listener, would be *impossible* under Unix - two processes cannot bind to a port like that). So regardless the duplication of processes, I built the cvs tree, shut down the nagios daemon (and I watched all the children die as well) and started the new version. Now it's fixed - I'm happy, my boss is happy, and the on-call NOC admin is *very* happy. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From RLAdams at Kelsey-Seybold.com Wed Sep 3 16:53:07 2003 From: RLAdams at Kelsey-Seybold.com (Russell Adams) Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2003 09:53:07 -0500 Subject: Nagios & Apache Configuration In-Reply-To: <1062546994.17150.11.camel@miles.debisschop.net> References: <1062031892.14667.7.camel@miles.debisschop.net> <20030902155230.GA2525@soja.ksnet.com.> <1062546994.17150.11.camel@miles.debisschop.net> Message-ID: <46681.5279949971$1062601594@news.gmane.org> Howdy Karl! ;] Actually, I asked the list as a last resort.

I've found the following NagiosWS: http://www.i-xs.de/nagiosws/ Nagios XML Engine: http://nxe.sourceforge.net/ They both appear to have roughly the same functionality, and are both pretty easy to use. However, they only provide access to the entire nagios state as a whole - neither of them has any notion of contacts or contact_groups. While it would be very useful for remote clients to be able to authenicate and only retrieve state information for the specified contact, I appreciate that's it's a lot of work. So, what I could get by with in the intern is some kind of parser for the nagios configuration files so I can pull out the hosts/host_groups that apply to the contact, and then just query that state information.

You can get to it from the nagmin.sourceforge.net and link from the project page. What version of Nagmin are you using and is it a new installation or an upgrade from a previous version. The current version is 1.6.0. Also, are you sure the entry is not already in the database. Sometimes, if the webpage does not refresh after I add something, I get a similar message when I click back and try to add again. If you upgraded from a previous version of Nagmin, I may have a database scheme problem. One other thought, Nagmin likes to use the DBD and DBI drivers to connect to Mysql. Do you have them installed and working?

I encountered the same problem a short while ago and got a recommendation from someone here to upgrade to the "nagios-1-x-bugfixes (1.x)" branch in CVS. It's downloadable from the website, see http://www.nagios.org/cvs.php This solved all cosmetic issues and probably some other bugs as well.

It's a common convention to show optional arguments in square brackets (such as [-P port] above) and to show mandatory options without any brackets. Based on that, I'd say that the "-F config_file" argument is mandatory according to the documentation you pasted above. -j -- Jeremy Madea Senior Systems Engineer MDL Information Systems ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From nagios at acmecargo.com Fri Sep 5 07:31:00 2003 From: nagios at acmecargo.com (nagios at acmecargo.com) Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2003 01:31:00 -0400 Subject: check_radius In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6.0.0.22.2.20030905003158.04244dc0@mail.acmecargo.com> For future reference (archival reasons) I had to do the following to get this to work: 1. edit my /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf file to show the appropriate authserver.

Additional Info: (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing) I can fix it by stopping the nagios service, killing any lingering nagios daemons, and then starting the nagios service (runs under inetd). Question is why is this occurring? Anyone else get this? My other distributed server doesn't do it so perhaps this was a bug in a previous version that I'm currently using as there could be a version mismatch between the two distributed servers (the one that behaves was installed more recently).

You just telnet to it and say 'boot 3' to reboot switch 3. Trivial to write expect scripts (or perl/python/whatever) against. Not sure what they cost but it saves us a fair amount when something goes wrong and an admin can fix it from wherever he happens to be. They can't be all that expensive. I have one here on my desk by "Black Box" which has 8 ports. It looks like a big KVM. We also have a few in the lab that look like standard rack powerstrips with a cat-5 sticking out one end. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From cpurcell at maharam.com Fri Sep 5 23:02:54 2003 From: cpurcell at maharam.com (Purcell, Chris) Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2003 17:02:54 -0400 Subject: Nagios statusmap Message-ID: I'm having a problem getting the status map working in Nagios 1.1 on a Red Hat 9.0 box.

Assuming that the system had a battery backup, the relay would be connected to a power outlet. When the outlet power would stop, the relay would trip, thus permitting the script to follow through to running the shutdown command. It would seem possible that if you could use the appropriate pins on a serial port and connect them to a similar capacity (power-wise) relay, you could have it disable power to the cable modem for 10 seconds. Once you have that hardware and that script, connecting it to Nagios should be trivial. This means you get to play the role of engineer, so be careful that you don't underestimate your load requirements. Food for thought. Disclaimer: If you try this out and something breaks, you get to keep all the pieces. This includes (but is not limited to) starting an electrical fire. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: newsletters [mailto:newsletters at atcomputerconsulting.com] > Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 12:52 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] advanced event handlers > > > I am interested in doing some low level trouble resolution with event > handlers. > > More specifically, today my cable modem crapped out and it > needed to be > power cycled.

None of the hosts show any uptime when I go to look at the availability and trend reports. All time is shown as Indeterminate??? What am I missing here? 2. I have been unable to find the check process command that will allow for the nagios interface to correcly check the active process and also to restart it from the interface. I have been doing a "service nagios restart" after I make changes. 3. This is a Nagat question: I keep getting a Hostgroup of "Array" when I try to edit any of the hosts. This appears to be a bug but it seems that it would be prevalent in LOTS of installations and fixed so I am convinced I have done something wrong but can not figure it out. Anyone have any ideas about this? 4. Any suggestions for way to manage hosts & services other than Nagat?

If you installed the init scripts, you can use the init script with the 'reload' switch. On most systems this would be /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload. I believe all the init script does is a HUP signal, so in theory you could just do a killall -HUP nagios (or similar). 4. You could write your own.

Nagios could not find an entry in the log file that indicated the starting state of the host/service in question. Options you have would be to increase the backtracked archives option when you run the report and/or enable logging of initial states. This should get cleared up in 2.0, as Nagios logs the current state of all hosts/services each time the log file gets rotated.

It means that if I want to see the data 11 months back ,then I am able to see that data with the same separation that I am seeing currently for this day, means with separation of two values by 5 min only. If somebody has tried it earlier, pls let me know. I think that if I will change the storing of data in rrd by 5 min average then also I have to modify the front-end apan such that one year graph will fit in one single web-page with 5 min separation value. ANY COMMENTS INVITED ..... Actually this is helpful in taking the decision of Capacity Planning for the future because by the current graph, it becomes difficult for anybody to have a feel what is the previous utilization because it is too much compresses.

I cobbled together a simple ksh script (meets most of the plugin standards) that uses snmpdf from the net-snmp package. It fetches all filesystem info via snmpdf and then looks up all of the parameters for the the filesystems I want to monitor for that host. It simply gives the all clear they all passed or warning/critical threshold information for that filesystem(s). This means I have one service defined for each host that checks all of the filesystems I'm interested in and I can update the configuration file on the fly. If you don't have the snmpdf tool, I'm sure there's an wasy way to get what you want with snmpwalk and the right oid. I'll be glad to share what I did with you and others. I've put a few other ksh scripts like this to monitor the load avg and remote processes by fetching the data I need with snmp. _______________________________________________ Joe Morris, Web Systems Manager Academic Technology and Networks The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From wim.degeeter at bt.com Tue Sep 9 07:01:26 2003 From: wim.degeeter at bt.com (wim.degeeter at bt.com) Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2003 06:01:26 +0100 Subject: Error in hosts.cfg with check_command host-alive Message-ID: Hi, In the hosts.cfg file you can use the check_command host-alive .

One of our clients has a website they would like monitored, but it requires authentication (via the IIS popup box). It is normally possibly to get in with your web browser using a URL similar to: http://user:password at www.domain.tld I was wondering if it's possible to do something siliar in the Nagios setup, or if such a feature to the plugin is planned/feasible?

It simply gives the all clear they all passed or warning/critical threshold information for that filesystem(s). This means I have one service defined for each host that checks all of the filesystems I'm interested in and I can update the configuration file on the fly. If you don't have the snmpdf tool, I'm sure there's an wasy way to get what you want with snmpwalk and the right oid. I'll be glad to share what I did with you and others.

From an empirical sense, I would agree with you. I don't know what to tell you. Possibly having the service checks each updating the host status could mean a bunch of busy work, both from the perspective of coding as well as extra I/O. Imagine if you will a host with 30 service checks. For each service check, not only would it update the service status, but it would update the host status as well, not just once, but for every service check. Now imagine multiplying that by N hosts. This is pure speculation on my part. I don't really know for sure one way or the other why it was designed one way over the other. jc > -----Original Message----- > From: Sam Stickland [mailto:sam_ml at spacething.org] > Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 6:02 PM > To: Carroll, Jim P [OTH]; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Performance data & other issues > > > If services on that host have passed their checks, shouldn't > the host state > for this period be 'UP' rather than indeterminate? > > Sam > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Carroll, Jim P [OTH]" > To: > Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 4:16 PM > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Performance data & other issues > > > > The host only gets checked if a service on that host fails. > > > > jc > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Steve Dickey [mailto:scdickey at sentry.corb.net] > > > Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 10:01 PM > > > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > > Subject: [Nagios-users] Performance data & other issues > > > > > > > > > All: > > > > > > I am new to the list and hoping to get some help with a new > > > installation. > > > I have just setup and configured nagios and have a couple > > > dozen hosts that > > > have been monitored for about 48 hours.

GD, PNG, and/or JPEG libraries could not be located! I am using GD 2.0.15 currently, but tried with 1.8.* versions aswell. Ive tried different versions of libjpg, libpng, zlib, and all the devels, and still no joy. One thing i note is that libgd-devel-1.3.4 convlicts with gd-devel-2.0.15. Makes sense, but does that mean you dont need libgd-devel? Anyway, is someone able to list the versions of the libraries they have used successfully? Im running Redhat 9.0, Nagios 1.1 Any help with this would be hugely appreciated. Cheers Dave ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ 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. Garry W.

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...

I have my nagios installed from an RPM, version 1.1 I've read somewhere in the posts about this recommendation (compile without embedded per and perl cache), but after I've checed the RPM spec built file, it seems that the person who built the RPM has disabled these two options for RedHat 8 and 9. so I am running a version with these two options off (any other suggestions), but I might have mis-read the sepc file!. So you're telling me that nagios (v 1.1) has this core problem, even without Embeded Perl and Perl Cache, or is it this factor that you eleminated to get around the problem, please clearify the issue pertaining to the nagios plugings (especially check_snmp)? Has the disabling of these two options solved the problem completely in your case (because if so, I can drop ! the RPMS and go for source)? thanks, --- On Thu 08/14, Chet Luther < chet at rcn.com > wrote: From: Chet Luther [mailto: chet at rcn.com] To: alikhalidi at excite.com, nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Cc: marcioqueiroz at vicom.com.br Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 11:00:13 -0400 Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Urgent: nagios + apan memory chewing up Ali, Recompile Nagios without embedded perl or perl caching support.

Greetings, I am experiencing a strange behaiviour for nagios and apan. I'de run nagios for a long time, using the standard plugins (check_host_alive for 50 services), and my system (CPU 1GHz, RAM 512, swap 512) was very stable. not untill I've installed apan (155 services) that the server starts chewing memory so fast that the system becomes cloged and the only way to regain control for the system is to REBOOT. I've read and practiced a lot with the tunning paramers of nagios, and reached a level where these parameters max_concurrent_checks (for concurrency) service_reaper_freq size of rrd files (to prevent caching of large databse files) added the -m to snmp_get (based on a recommendation of one of the users) to disable the loading of the mib with each call but all with no help. I can't put my hands on the problem.the system starts memory usage in almost a linear fashion, untill the free section of buffers/cache st! arts comming down, and the systems goes to swap till it exhast all system Memory. it is only the difference between the concurrency factor (max_concurrent_checks) that slows down the rate at which memory is lost. its a production system, and I really appriciate help thanks, ________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com Wed Sep 10 15:15:45 2003 From: Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com (Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com) Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 14:15:45 +0100 Subject: Problems with nsclient ...Connection refused by host In-Reply-To: <834D93DB7AA4004F893BB62597D5774C18D9F1@fcsrv0004.finncorp.com> References: <834D93DB7AA4004F893BB62597D5774C18D9F1@fcsrv0004.finncorp.com> Message-ID: Josh, I have upgraded a lot of my machines to NSClient 1.084 and that helped stability.

Yeah, I've tried that.. didn't seem to help. Thanks though. It looks to me as if nagios isn't picking up the HTTP_USER env variable for some reason.

If you have flap detection enabled, it may not notify on the first successful retry, depending on the history.

Something suggested to me (which I have yet to try) was to define a timeperiod object which doesn't include the scheduled downtime. That probably won't work if your scheduled downtimes are not every week. I don't know if there's a command-line tool which will schedule downtime for you. You should be able to figure out a URL which does the necessary form submission for the host in question using the existing submission form.

Take a look at the docs on flap detection. -- Mike McClure, CCIE # 5125, CISSP # 30232 PNE Services, Inc. - http://www.pneservices.com mmcclure [at] pneservices [dot] com mobile: 913-636-5590 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From karl at debisschop.net Thu Sep 11 02:24:40 2003 From: karl at debisschop.net (Karl DeBisschop) Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 20:24:40 -0400 Subject: GD, PNG, and/or JPEG libraries could not b e located In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1063239880.1722.4.camel@miles.debisschop.net> On Wed, 2003-09-10 at 18:31, Matt Pounsett wrote: > On Thu, 11 Sep 2003, Dave Francis wrote: > > > Perhpas i will have to start it all afresh with the source. > > Has anyone successfuly used the RPM's for this?? > > I installed mine much like you did.. source for nagios, RPMs for dependancies. > That seems to have worked fine for me.

As you noticed, it contains the PID of the master nagios process. The PID is used by the stop process to know which nagios process to TERM. The ps error is a result of you touching the file by hand. Stop nagios, kill all the nagios processes you see remaining by hand, delete the nagios.lock file and start nagios. /usr/local/nagios/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh is an unusual file and location from my experience.

A recent host I added increased the maximum "parents" depth from 1 to 2 levels, and immediately all automatic layout methods ceased to function. If I remove the host, all is well again. I can't find anything in the documentation that addresses this directly (no reference to a max depth in the standard algorithms). So.. I'm wondering if this is really because of the change of parent depth, or if there's something else in play here and I'm being distracted by the obvious. If this is a known limitation of the default algorithms I can live with that, and will start working on manually defined coordinates. However (and again assuming this limit is real) it would be a good idea if some reference was made to this limit in the CGI docs for default_statusmap_layout. -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From kit at keynote.com Fri Sep 12 21:12:35 2003 From: kit at keynote.com (Kit Burrows) Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 12:12:35 -0700 Subject: problem with pluggin check_nt and libc.so.6 Message-ID: <126EB155546EC04284E14649C578F1F70117D994@exchange02inhq.keynote.com> The RPM binaries you are trying to install were compiled with the higher GLIBC version.

Something suggested to me (which I have yet to try) was to define a timeperiod object which doesn't include the scheduled downtime. That probably won't work if your scheduled downtimes are not every week. I don't know if there's a command-line tool which will schedule downtime for you. You should be able to figure out a URL which does the necessary form submission for the host in question using the existing submission form.

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 have run my CGIs from the command line with my user id and they generate html code with the proper data and I am allowed to run it. I think that rules out cgi.cfg as a problem, especially since I have not touched that file since I had it working before. .htaccess works on the main web page so I have to assume it also works for the CGI directory since I see no error messages for httpd. I have toyed around with the permisions for the directory which contains the nagios.cmd file. I have followed the on line documentation step by step in this regaurd and I still get the same results. The only conclusion I can come to is a file permission somewhere. I have made all of my CGIs 755 and everything is owned by nagios:apache.

The nagios process is indeed running, and I can run the scripts at the commandline as www-data (the apache user). The DB seems to be working as it should.

Message-ID: <20030911212313.21925.qmail@web21109.mail.yahoo.com> When I try to access the CGI from the link on the nagios web page I am getting the error: 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 have been running nagios 1.0 for 5 months on Red Hat 7.3. I built rpms from the tar balls. Everything was working fine......... Then I upgraded to nagios 1.1, again building the rpms from the tar balls. Now I get the "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested... " Then I down-graded back to nagios 1.0 and I still get the above error! Even though I am using the same configs from the server that operated for 5 months without any problem! I then went to my lab where I now realize I should have started. I installed nagios 1.0 on one server and 1.1 on another and moved over all of my configs. Same results!!! These are some things I have tested so far: 1. I have run my CGIs from the command line with my user id and they generate html code with the proper data and I am allowed to run it. I think that rules out cgi.cfg as a problem, especially since I have not touched that file since I had it working before. 2. .htaccess works on the main web page so I have to assume it also works for the CGI directory since I see no error messages for httpd. 3. I have toyed around with the permisions for the directory which contains the nagios.cmd file. I have followed the online documentation step by step in this regaurd and I still get the same results. The only conclusion I can come to is a file permission somewhere. I have made all of my CGIs 755 and everything is owned by nagios:apache. Thanks to anyone who sees this and has some helpful suggestions.! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Some of them need to write a temporary file in /tmp (or some other location you desire). My net-snmp is configured so that I don't need to specify my community on the command line, so YMMV. Use at your own risk! ;) Tar file will expand about 9 files in your current directory (no paths stored). Remember that using the enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extOutput structure in net-snmp that you can configured to do just about anything. There are a few samples of that in here as well.

If this CGI can pick up the user you're logging in with, then the Nagios CGI should be able to as well. Now I think you can concentrate on the cgi.cfg file itself. A couple questions..

Here are some questions I asked of someone last week which led to a fix of the same problem... these are things people will need to know in order to help you troubleshoot anyway: What user does Nagios think you're logged in as? (see above) Is default_user_name enabled? If so, what is it set to? What is your authorized_for_* variables set to?

The fix was to start over with a new configuration file, like from the samples, and hand-edit it, without pasting, because the weird character would be copied over. So, here's what I would do if I were you, Rick: Copy the configuration files from the samples. Edit it by hand to add all your customizations, or alternatively use Nagwin or some other configuration front-end. Also, if you'll send me your config files, I can look for any weird characters. - Mike > > Here's my cgi.cfg: > > use_authentication=1 > > authorized_for_configuration_information=rblair,jfedewa,mjones > authorized_for_system_commands=rblair,jfedewa > authorized_for_all_services=rblair > authorized_for_all_hosts=rblair > authorized_for_all_service_commands=rblair,jfedewa,mjones > authorized_for_all_host_commands=rblair,jfedewa,mjones > > Here's the box in the upper left hand corner of my browser. > > > > > > > Current Network Status > Last Updated: Fri Sep 12 15:53:03 MDT 2003 > Updated every 90 seconds > Nagios? - www.nagios.org > Logged in as rblair > -- Mike McClure, CCIE # 5125, CISSP # 30232 PNE Services, Inc. - http://www.pneservices.com mmcclure [at] pneservices [dot] com mobile: 913-636-5590 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From matt.pounsett at cira.ca Mon Sep 15 17:14:16 2003 From: matt.pounsett at cira.ca (Matt Pounsett) Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2003 11:14:16 -0400 (EDT) Subject: CGI permissions make me mad also!

I'm not sure how the debian package is put together, but this command is commented out in the default config file. It needs to be cutomized for your particular OS and Nagios install, which is why it is commented out by default.

This NMU includes changes to the depends so this should not be an issue any more as the nagios packages will depend on the the nagios-plugins package... With that change from Recommends to Depends on the plugins I've moved the Depends on the web server to a Recommends so that distributed monitoring servers can be setup on Debian without having the need to install a web server...

The command that is there by default checks the system process list.. what I mean by "fix it up" is that you need to make sure the string it is searching for matches the way your system's process table lists nagios.

Looking at nagios.log, it is clear that the three OK services have not been checked since the host was powered off, while the three CRITICAL services have each been checked at least 5 times each (max_check_attempts is 5 for the host and its services). The host's check_command hasn't been executed either, but I gather this is never executed until all services have failed (aside: is the host's check_command run when all services are in HARD failure, or all services in SOFT failure?). I can't find any config options that would account for this behavior. Unless the smart inter-check delay method has gone haywire, this seems entirely contrary to some of the basic intentions of the Nagios system. I've included here all the config variables that seem to me light they might be even remotely related to service check scheduling. Can anyone shed some light on this? check_external_commands=1 command_check_interval=-1 log_notifications=1 log_service_retries=1 log_host_retries=1 inter_check_delay_method=s service_interleave_factor=s max_concurrent_checks=0 service_reaper_frequency=10 sleep_time=1 interval_length=60 use_agressive_host_checking=0 execute_service_checks=1 obsess_over_services=0 check_for_orphaned_services=1 check_service_freshness=1 freshness_check_interval=60 aggregate_status_updates=1 status_update_interval=15 enable_flap_detection=1 -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From mpowell at ena.com Mon Sep 15 22:31:36 2003 From: mpowell at ena.com (Marc Powell) Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2003 15:31:36 -0500 Subject: Lack of "Additional Info" in alerts Message-ID: <5DB017510818EC468B05BD7BD9EACF8303E7ED9F@mismail.ena.com> It's internal to the Nagios daemon and varies for every check done as it contains the output of the check command.

I understand that you peeked at the nagios.log file and came up with a plausible description of the format, but don't understand how that phrase related to that fact. Maybe my internal English parser has a grouping error and I'm just reading that sentence wrong. Thanks for the clues on the format of the nagios.log files. That looks for the most part like what I need. I'm mostly after current service/host status and percent uptime for the past week. Note to the folks working on Nagios 2.0: It would be real nice if you made the log file format an actual CSV file (a semicolon delimiter is fine). You're about 90% of the way there as it is. For the most part, all you need to do is make sure each bit of data is in its own field and make sure the delimiter (semicolon in this case) is properly quoted wherever it appears. For example, instead of [1063642433] SERVICE ALERT: ns.northwestern.edu;PH;OK;SOFT;2;OK - query succeeded this would be nicer: 1063642433;SERVICE ALERT;ns.northwestern.edu;PH;OK;SOFT;2;OK - query succeeded and if the plugin output contained a semicolon, it would be quoted with "...". That would allow CSV parsers available for Python and Perl (and probably several other languages) to suck that data in with no muss or fuss. A first line containing column names in each file would also be useful. In situations where you log varying types of data to the file, e.g.: [1063643414] LOG ROTATION: DAILY [1063643951] Auto-save of retention data completed successfully. [1063644861] SERVICE ALERT: mojam;HTTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;Socket timeout after 10 seconds all you need to do is make sure that the second field always reflects the type of message: 1063643414;LOG ROTATION;DAILY 1063643951;Message;Auto-save of retention data completed successfully. 1063644861;SERVICE ALERT;mojam;HTTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;Socket timeout after 10 seconds -- Skip Montanaro Got gigs? http://www.musi-cal.com/ http://www.mojam.com/ Got spam? http://spambayes.sf.net/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf From mpowell at ena.com Mon Sep 15 23:49:16 2003 From: mpowell at ena.com (Marc Powell) Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2003 16:49:16 -0500 Subject: [Nagios-users] status log documentation?

So, here's what I would do if I were you, Rick: Copy the configuration files from the samples. Edit it by hand to add all your customizations, or alternatively use Nagwin or some other configuration front-end.

Late yesterday, my check_mysql command suddenly started failing. A check of my logs indicated that Nagios was suddenly trying to login as $@localhost. Further testing has narrowed down the problem to expansion of user-defined resources when used as command arguments. Here are the particulars: in resources.cfg -------- $USER1$=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/ $USER2$=/usr/local/site/nagios/ $USER3$=mysqluser $USER4$=sqlpassword -------- in checkcommands.cfg -------- define command { command_name check_mysql command_line $USER1$/check_mysql -u $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ } -------- in hosts.cfg -------- define service { use templateService host_name myhost.dom.com service_description MySQL check_command check_mysql!$USER3$!$USER4$ } -------- When check_mysql executes, Nagios is running the following command: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mysql -u $ -p $ This begins to work correctly if I put the user/pass directly into the MySQL service definition, or if I replace the ARGx entries with USERx entries in the check_mysql command definition. I've tried rebuilding the hosts file from scratch to rule out the nebulous "strange characters" bug (even though vim would warn me if anything non printable were in the file) with no luck. If this hadn't worked at one point I would just assume that USERx variables couldn't be used in service definitions... but it did work up until last night.

I'm not sure if it's just my server (Nagios 1.1 on Darwin, Mac OS X) or it's the general case. I think it's more than a nuisance because the host names I have defined have upper and lower case characters and if the other users with try to post a comment and enter the name in all lower case (as I had been doing), they'll only get the quite useless error message. I tried to change the cmd.cgi to use strcasecmp instead of strcmp, but my C is quite rusty and it didn't seem to make any difference. Is this something particular to my setup? If anyone has any ideas of what else I can try, please let me know. Thanks in advance. -Ward %// %// Ward I.

One is for inbound traffic, 1 for outbound. To manage routing more easily, I created a virtual network device eth0:1. By default, all outgoing traffic use eth0, and I set up nat on firewall to connect the second IP (eth0:1) for incoming traffic. All was working fine: active checks originated from eth0 are routed to one ISP, and passive checks results (nsca) are received via the second ISP. Problem: the first ISP has configured their router to limit the ICMP traffic. So, after a couple of days working fine, nagios check alive (and check_ping) does not work properly (timeout). Temp solution: turn off icmp traffic for 2 or 3 ours, and then turn it on: ithe check_ping works again. the command ping has the option -I, so that you can specify what interface to originate packets. Is there something similar in check_ping? Other solutions? Thanks a lot. -- Marco Ciullini Datamar s.r.l.

If you have any coding experience, you could try writing your own check_ping_tcp.. a TCP ping (rather than ICMP) would probably get through your ISP's filters. If you have any perl coding experience you should be able to do this very quickly using Net::Ping. If you want to be able to check latency well, make sure you've got v2.31 -- that's where high resolution timing was introduced. You'll also need Time::HiRes installed.

Apparently it was on the second retry that it managed to pass the host check. The problem is that several of the reports ignore 'SOFT' events, and there was never a 'HARD' event following that to indicate the host came up for those reports. This makes the availability report continue to believe that the host is down. Obviously there are several approaches to correcting this behavior, but I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with the overall system to decide which would be the correct approach. Should all 'UP' events be 'HARD'? (IE. Is a 'SOFT' 'UP' even valid? Maybe for flap detection or something?) Should nagios follow up a 'SOFT' 'UP' event with a definitive 'HARD' 'UP' event? (IE. Firmly schedule a follow up host check on the 'SOFT' 'UP' event) Should the report(s) be modified to treat 'SOFT' 'UP' events as 'HARD' 'UP' events?

If > you are, that might be a big problem. No, I haven't got to the point of testing dependancies yet. I've got (what I believe is) a very simple setup checking 67 services on 13 hosts. The closest I've got to using any sort of dependancies is to set appropriate 'parents' for my hosts. I've been doing more poking around, and I've found that after about 15 minutes up and running, Nagios begins to log a lot of stale service errors. My log between midnight and 10am today (when I restarted Nagios last) consisted of about 58% 'stale service' and 'orphan' error messages. Many of the 'rescheduled' checks were never being executed. It seems almost as if there's a resources issue, but aside from the web server, Nagios is the only thing running on this 1.2GHz PIII.. it only has 256MB of RAM, but only about 150MB is used and there's still all that swap... Anyway, I posted most of my main configuration. If this /is/ a config error on my part, I'd sure like to know what it is. I'll be happy to provide further details of the config to anyone who has any specific questions to ask. I've already supplied all the stuff that looks relevant to me.

I have used config files (*.cfg) that I know have worked in the past because I had this thing running for 5 months without a problem. During my reinstalls I have gone through the Nagios documentation step by step and everything I have seems fine. I have seen different postings in different places on the web with the same problem and no one seems to have a fix for these people. I have also been contacted by someone who had the same problem which was never fixed. Is there any way to turn logging on for the cgi scripts? I keep getting this "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested." but there is absolutely no logging available telling me why I get this error.

I'm a relatively new user to Nagios, so I don't know all the little pitfalls.. If I think of anything else I'll let you know. If you want to check permissions.. all my files are owned by nagios:daemon (I compiled nagios to use the daemon group instead of its own custom group). Config files and logs are mode 0644, directories and executables are 0755, and the nagios.cmd file is 2660. -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Watch it for a few hours and see if the checks are never getting updated (or very very slow) Also check the performance info button in the web interface for average check latency/execution time.

Maybe you have a pretty hefty > latency time? Right this minute, the oldest 'last check' stat is about 13 minutes old.. not impressive. Something interesting about this stat: I noted earlier that when I restarted Nagios it updated the Last Check (and logged a successfull check!) for the SSH and NTP services on the server I had powered off. As for latency, nothing seriously out of whack is being reported there right now. Min Max Avg Check Execution Time: <1sec 9sec 1.448sec Check Latency: <1sec <1sec 0.000sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Active checks is a bit disconcerting.. Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute 6 (9.0%) -- not a big deal <= 5 minutes 49 (73.1%) -- this is an issue <= 15 minutes 62 (92.5%) -- really bugs me <= 1 hour 67 (100.0%) Since program start: 67 (100.0%) There are no passive checks running... so all zero's there. > If you are indeed hitting a bottleneck in performance, it would most > likely be due to the core nagios.cfg options.

Another possible red-herring.. but something to look at anyway.. I've noticed that all of the Nagios CGIs process ALL of the nagios config files every time they are run... and they don't (appear to) use exactly the same parser as the nagios binary itself. I've found that if I'm in the middle of adding a new host config file, for example, the CGIs will start complaining that I don't have permission to view anything, when really what they mean is that they have tried (and failed) to parse an incomplete config file. If Nagios starts up properly, this may not be your issue.. but I thought I'd mention it anyway. -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From larry.bills at mci.com Wed Sep 17 01:30:03 2003 From: larry.bills at mci.com (NetViper) Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 18:30:03 -0500 Subject: CGI permissions make me mad!

The web page shows me logged in as 'guest'. Which means that you haven't logged into HTTP. You are showing up as the unauthenticated default user. Try changing '*' to 'guest' I don't know for sure that it will work but I read: # SYSTEM/PROCESS INFORMATION ACCESS # This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that # have access to viewing the Nagios process information as # provided by the Extended Information CGI (extinfo.cgi).

Do the different interfaces have services specific to each interface? (For example, DHCP in one side, DNS on the other side). If so I'd monitor each interface as a separate host. Do you have to go through one interface to get to the other? (For example, a box set up as a gateway, which Nagios is allowed to route through). If so, I'd set up the near interface as parent, and the far side interface as a child. This would mark the far side interface 'unreachable' if the near interface goes down. Is the same service bound to multiple ports? If so, monitoring one interface should suffice, since you'll now that if the service itself dies, it's likely dead for all the interfaces.

Since NSCA works by receiving results via externals i really dont need a check_command on the nagios monitor but it wont let me not have one. I setup libexec/check_dummy in it's place but that gives unaccurate results becasue nagios still runs that check_command and it's returning OK and overwriting the info it received via externals. At the moment i'm wondering if i should use NRPE or whatever but i hate the idea of having this server on every server. NSCA doesnt seam like it was well thoughout.

I would like some advice regarding setting up Nagios for monitoring larger networks. We have been running Nagios at our main location for almost a year. Everyone is quite exited how good it works and the managers now wants to expand the monitoring to all our locations worldwide. Is this possible to do with one Nagios server ? Is there a way to "mirror" the Nagios servers ? Can a distributed Nagios server also act as a stand alone ? ( some checks to be relayed to the mother server and others not ). Is there any special things to take in consideration when monitoring larger networks. To give you som clues about how many servers we want to monitor here are som numbers: Windows servers about 500 pcs AS/400 about 60 pcs Network eqipment yes :-) lots of switches, routers and VPN gates. Locations about 100 spread arund the world in about 40 countrys. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since NSCA works by receiving results via externals i really dont need a check_command on the nagios monitor but it wont let me not have one.? I setup libexec/check_dummy in it's place but that gives unaccurate results becasue nagios still runs that check_command and it's returning OK and overwriting the info it received via externals. ? At the moment i'm wondering if i should use NRPE or whatever but i hate the idea of having this server on every server. NSCA doesnt seam like it was well thoughout. ? ? --- NSCA was design to be used in a distributed Nagios environment where you have multiple Nagios servers in multiple locations all reporting the results of their checks back to one or more other Nagios servers for display, archiving, etc. Because of this, the host_name and service_description for a submitted check result must match a service definition on the central server. I don't think that the actual check_command matters. In your case, it sounds like you haven't disabled active checks for the specific services that you are submitting results for. The cleanest way in my experience is to set the check_period to 'none' for each service you are submitting passive results for. An alternate way is to set active_checks_enabled to 0 (but I believe you'll see a red 'P' for each service set like this. This is done of course on the central Nagios machine. You'll still need a check_command definition but it will never get executed. NRPE is designed to work with an active central Nagios server to execute plugins on remote machines running the NRPE daemon with the specific nagios plugins you are interested in. You can think of it as a proxy for the check_command. A full installation of nagios isn't necessary on each machine you want to monitor local resources on, only those plugins you are interested in. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From Rick_Blair at fws.gov Wed Sep 17 17:03:46 2003 From: Rick_Blair at fws.gov (Rick_Blair at fws.gov) Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 09:03:46 -0600 Subject: CGI permissions make me mad!

Some of them are internal to our network, some of them have an interface on an external network. The services they run will (for the most part) be the same on every interface -- a remote connection daemon (telnet, ssh), and a routing daemon. So it /is/ important to monitor every daemon on every interface (we need to know if peering with Company X goes down, but the rest of the box is up). I suppose to clarify, what I was trying to avoid is, with ten routers, three interfaces per router, that's thirty host objects. There's no way to specify multiple IP addresses in a host object, is there? Because technically they /are/ all the same machine; every interface runs the same service. The only thing that's changed is the IP address of the interface. Having multiple IP's per host object would really un-clutter the visual display, but would probably be a PITA to get working properly, especially with dependancies. For hosts that provide different services on different interfaces, yes, I would easily consider each interface to be a separate host object. Just not for one host that essentially would be duplicated n times. > Is the same service bound to multiple ports?

Ah, but if the non-monitored /interface/ dies, we won't get an error. If there's routing problems to an external interface, or if the card suddenly dies, or if the cable is unplugged, we'd need to know for that interface. Yes, I know, in this case we only really need to monitor connectivity to the interface, and not the individual services. But that brings me back to the headache of having many, many more host objects than actual hosts. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From mmcclure at pneservices.com Wed Sep 17 18:21:49 2003 From: mmcclure at pneservices.com (Mike McClure) Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 11:21:49 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Monitoring multi-homed boxen In-Reply-To: <20030917154340.GW66001@sentex.net> References: <20030916153657.GL66001@sentex.net> <20030917154340.GW66001@sentex.net> Message-ID: <4933.192.168.1.15.1063815709.squirrel@xyzzy.homeip.net> Just define each interface on the router as a service.

I use nsca for a distributed monitoring system... although not as spread out geographically as you.. but I have over 400 hosts defined and 3,300 services. I use 192-bit encryption and have had no issues so far. I would think about things like connectivity and bandwidth when making your decision on how to proceed. How is your network set up at your company? Do you have one central lcoation which has direct connectivity to each of your offices? To answer your question below regarding a distributed nagios server acting as a stand alone... are you asking if a nagios server can receive passive checks along with processing active checks itself? If that is the question, than yes, it can be done. You could have your one central server (which would have to be at an office which had connectivity to most of your offices) accept passive checks from ceratin offices and do active checks at other offices.

We monitor 1810 hosts and 2348 services currently and it's been my experience that when there is an outage of over approximately 100 hosts that check latency skyrockets and Nagios is pretty useless for realtime status until the problem is resolved and Nagios restarted. It's not unusual for us to have between 20 and 40 hosts down on the network at any given time (construction, circuit issues, end user error, etc.) I've tried modifying my host check command to only ping once but I still had issues. I've been able to get around it by disabling host checking entirely, which is ok for the time being, but I sacrifice some of the more interesting functionality like parenting, etc. I utilize a distributed environment (4 data collectors reporting back to 2 central hosts) and I expect that the passive host checks in 2.0 will help me out significantly but until then I'm kind of stuck.

When I have network outages and more than 15 hosts are down I do experience check latency and nsca does go crazy, things don't return to normal until I restart. I did disable host checking for many of my hosts to try and combat this but we do lose some functionality as you say. I am hoping with 2.0 accepting passive host checks this does get better but I would not discourage anyone from using nagios in a distibuted manner because of these issues that occur once in a while. I think I remember seeing Ethan saying the docs were being written and he was expecting to release it in mid Oct. so we'll see! -Keith -----Original Message----- From: Marc Powell [mailto:mpowell at ena.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 1:03 PM To: Hochberg, Keith; Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Larger networks How do you handle major network outages? We monitor 1810 hosts and 2348 services currently and it's been my experience that when there is an outage of over approximately 100 hosts that check latency skyrockets and Nagios is pretty useless for realtime status until the problem is resolved and Nagios restarted. It's not unusual for us to have between 20 and 40 hosts down on the network at any given time (construction, circuit issues, end user error, etc.) I've tried modifying my host check command to only ping once but I still had issues. I've been able to get around it by disabling host checking entirely, which is ok for the time being, but I sacrifice some of the more interesting functionality like parenting, etc. I utilize a distributed environment (4 data collectors reporting back to 2 central hosts) and I expect that the passive host checks in 2.0 will help me out significantly but until then I'm kind of stuck. Don't get me wrong, I love Nagios and it's a wonderfully effective tool. I just wish I could get it just right in my environment when in crisis mode with all the features active ;) -- Marc ________________________________________ From: Hochberg, Keith [mailto:Keith.Hochberg at mtvi.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 11:41 AM To: Gert Lindstrom; Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Gert, ?

Look at the attached screenshots to see a little demo: shot1: The red circle shows the new command (Host information page) shot2: After clicking the icon you'll be forwarded on the statusmap using "Depth Layers" method. shot3: Another point (Status Overview for example) from where you can use this function. Before applying to Nagios v1.1 code you may want to change a variable to reflect your preferred Status Map default display mode. Here it is the list as defined in cgi/statusmap.c: #define LAYOUT_USER_SUPPLIED 0 #define LAYOUT_SUBLAYERS 1 #define LAYOUT_COLLAPSED_TREE 2 #define LAYOUT_BALANCED_TREE 3 #define LAYOUT_CIRCULAR 4 #define LAYOUT_CIRCULAR_MARKUP 5 #define LAYOUT_CIRCULAR_BALLOON 6 Look at the diff file and substitute the "layout=1" string with "layout=?" where ? is a number from 0 to 6 to be chosen from the above list or just skip this step if you are comfortable with the default setting. Apply the patch by typing: cd /cgi patch status.c /locate-on-map.diff make;strip status.cgi;cp status.cgi /sbin Now set /sbin/status.cgi permissions as those of the other files in that dir and you have finished.

Don't forget that you have to do: router bgp nnnn bgp log-neighbor-changes on your router, in addition to setting up the syslog stuff. Actually, there's one more way, by setting up an SNMP trap collector and getting the trap from the router. I don't like that method myself, but YMMV. - Mike -- Mike McClure, CCIE # 5125, CISSP # 30232 PNE Services, Inc. - http://www.pneservices.com mmcclure [at] pneservices [dot] com mobile: 913-636-5590 > Is there a plugin to check the state of a BGP peer on a Cisco router, and > how would I obtain it? > > Thanks > > ~j.c. > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _______________________________________________ > Nagios-users mailing list > Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users > ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any > issue. > ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null > > 0 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From Stanley.Hopcroft at IPAustralia.Gov.AU Thu Sep 18 07:20:24 2003 From: Stanley.Hopcroft at IPAustralia.Gov.AU (Stanley Hopcroft) Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 15:20:24 +1000 Subject: checking BGP In-Reply-To: ; from nagios-users-request@lists.sourceforge.net on Wed, Sep 17, 2003 at 08:13:25PM -0700 References: Message-ID: <20030918152017.F16152@IPAustralia.Gov.AU> Dear Sir, I am writing to thank you for your letter and say, > > From: "Mike McClure" > > The second way is to set up logging of BGP states in your router, and use logwatch > or swatch to send a passive update to Nagios.

Message-ID: Okay, I give up. I've tried to look everywhere save digging through the source code. Can anyone explain how Nagios calculates its latency? My box is performing 301 service checks and they are all active checks. Earlier I had max_concurrent_checks set to 0, service_reaper_frequency to 10, and aggergate_status_updates to 1. My nagios box was launching a huge load of processes, and some checks were just plain getting forgotten. If I looked at the scheduling queue, I'd see services that had last been checked an hour ago with the "next check" scheduled for 55 minutes in the past. Yet my latency numbers according to Performance Info were only at a few seconds. I don't see how that could be. I double-checked to make sure no old nagios "boss" processes were running (I know this can confuse it sometimes). No luck. I tried turning on the "check for orphans" thing, and that just seemed to make it worse because it kept re-scheduling old "forgotten" checks before they got run. It makes me think that maybe the checks are actually executing on time (so that Nagios's concept of latency is still okay), but the service reaper isn't updating the status properly. Would that explain what I'm seeing? On the mailing list archives I saw a couple of people who were asking similar questions and experiencing similar problems to mine, but no one seemed to have a good answer. I tried a number of different things, and I seem to have finally got something that is working for me. I set up all my checks so they would time out in no more than 15 seconds. My normal check intervals are 5 minutes. I turned off aggregate_status_updates and changed my max_concurrent_checks to something reasonable like 30 (whatever nagios -s suggested). I also disabled some checks that I knew would fail cause the hosts are down right now. At the moment, my "oldest" service check is only five minutes old. That's good. It makes me happy. Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on? I'm gonna go delve into the source code hoping to find some clues. If I find anything, I'll post back. But I'm kinda hoping someone has already done the hard work. :-) Thanks, Brad Johnson P.S. I tinkered with almost every setting at one point or another today with no real change. Only after I disabled aggregate_status_updates did my "oldest" service checks start looking more reasonable. I noticed that in my old netsaint config, I had aggregate_status_updates disabled as well. Could this be the culprit? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From marco.ciullini at datamar.it Thu Sep 18 09:06:39 2003 From: marco.ciullini at datamar.it (Marco Ciullini) Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 09:06:39 +0200 Subject: check_ping from 2 interfaces In-Reply-To: <20030916132329.3242e805.thiago@ntime.com.br> References: <3F66E479.20702@datamar.it> <20030916132329.3242e805.thiago@ntime.com.br> Message-ID: <3F69597F.9010809@datamar.it> thank you!

I'm in about the same state as you are, except that my C isn't good enough to actually search the source. :) I've got 13 hosts being checked for a total of 66 services (still evaluating, so I haven't plugged in everything yet).. and I've found that some instances of Nagios will fall behind by hours as well. It seems like restarting nagios periodically will clean up the scheduler for a little while, but it doesn't last forever. My current instance is only about 25 minutes behind, but that's unfortunately the best that I've seen it lately. It's been running for about two days now. I'm also running a fairly default configuration -- if anyone's interested, check my last post on the subject for my full nagios.cfg (or, I can forward it to anyone who'd like to see it). Someone earlier indicated that if Nagios is behaving this badly it's likely something wrong in my config file, but he wasn't able to find any problems in my config either. I originally noticed this problem when I decided to test Nagios' ability to send one report of a host being down rather than a dozen reports of all its services being down. I powered off a machine and waited... 36 hours later, three of the services on the host were still being reported as 'ok' since they hadn't been checked yet. If you come across anything, I'd really love to hear about it.. Nagios looks great, but if it's unable to check services in a timely manner I won't be able to use it. -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From bjohnson at got.wedgie.org Thu Sep 18 16:58:50 2003 From: bjohnson at got.wedgie.org (Brad Johnson) Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 10:58:50 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Remove service and host commands from user interface.

If you don't want your user to be able to issue commands, just make sure the account's username isn't listed in those variables. Users will still be able to see the commands, even issue them. But as soon as they submit a command for processing, nagios will ignore it and give them an error message unless the username is listed in those variables.

I'm in about the same state as you are, except that my C isn't good enough to actually search the source. :) I've got 13 hosts being checked for a total of 66 services (still evaluating, so I haven't plugged in everything yet).. and I've found that some instances of Nagios will fall behind by hours as well. It seems like restarting nagios periodically will clean up the scheduler for a little while, but it doesn't last forever. My current instance is only about 25 minutes behind, but that's unfortunately the best that I've seen it lately. It's been running for about two days now. I'm also running a fairly default configuration -- if anyone's interested, check my last post on the subject for my full nagios.cfg (or, I can forward it to anyone who'd like to see it). Someone earlier indicated that if Nagios is behaving this badly it's likely something wrong in my config file, but he wasn't able to find any problems in my config either. I originally noticed this problem when I decided to test Nagios' ability to send one report of a host being down rather than a dozen reports of all its services being down. I powered off a machine and waited... 36 hours later, three of the services on the host were still being reported as 'ok' since they hadn't been checked yet. If you come across anything, I'd really love to hear about it.. Nagios looks great, but if it's unable to check services in a timely manner I won't be able to use it. -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null This message and accompanying documents are covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. ?? 2510-2521, and contains information intended for the specified individual(s) only.

I think I'll leave things as they are for the time being, rather than have a one-off version of Nagios which will just create problems when I need to upgrade.

For specifics we'd need to know more about your setup (i.e. OS, nagios version, how many hosts and services, types of checks you are doing, using a DB backend, etc). More generally, nagios is designed to spawn multiple checks at any given time. This is controlled by the max_concurrent_checks setting in nagios.cfg. If you have a lot of slow-to-complete checks, nagios won't wait for them to terminate before spawning additional checks. You can control how long nagios will wait before terminating a check command with the *_check_timeout variables. Lowering your service_reaper_frequency will likely help too. Running 'nagios -s can provide a guideline for max_concurrent_checks based on your other settings and number of hosts and services you are monitoring. You could always use strace (linux) or truss (solaris) to actively look at one of the long-standing processes and see exactly what it's doing. -- Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry [mailto:td3201 at yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 2:56 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > I am seeing, on a consistent basis, the number of > nagios processes increases to around 100 to 150.

If after the first notification interval it's still down, the second (and escalated) notification tells me that it's been down for an extended period of time. This way, I could still use the same templates for all the host/service definitions and just add escalation definitions for the naughty hosts.

If not, this is the source of your problem. Nagios calculates 's'mart intercheck delay assuming the simplest of set-ups. It totals all check times and divides by # of checks. So, if you have a few services that are only checked once per hour, they'll skew the average fairly far. To solve this, manually calculate the intercheck-delay instead of using the 's' setting and see if that helps. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/checkscheduling.html#inter_check_delay inter-check delay = (total normal check interval for all services) / (total number of services)2 For your calculations use the _shortest_ check interval defined of all your services as the "normal" check interval. For example, if you have 60 services, 20 of which are 1-hour checks and the other 40 being 5-minute checks, the formula would yield (calculate using 5-minutes): inter-check delay = # services x normal check interval (in seconds) / # services ^2 60 x 300 secs / 60^2 = 5 seconds So in the main config file: intercheck_delay_method=5.00 Hope this helps.

My current setup is on a RH9 [2.4.20-8] My issue is in regards to the web interface in particular the authentication. I've setup my hta password file for a user called nagiosadmin and set a password for the user but its not authenticating me when I try to log into the site. I have gone over the FAQ's on authentication setup a couple of times to double check I haven't just made a simple mistake, but I'm at a loss to see what's wrong. Just thought id check to see if anyone might be able to see what's wrong with the configs. Here is my files. My httpd.conf includes a "Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf" my Include file consists of the following ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/ AllowOverride AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all Options ExecCGI Alias /nagios/ /usr/share/nagios/ AllowOverride AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all the permissions on the htaccess file are -rw-r--r-- root root the password is correct in the file the permissions on the cgi directory itself is drwxr-xr-x the permissions on the website content in /usr/share/nagios are fine. I also have use_authentication set to 1 All the paths to the CGI's etc seem correct. I'm sure I had a similar problem last time on the debian box, but I grabbed another persons httpd.conf fie and it just went away. Any ideas on what I can try would be great.

Try doing 'mysql -u -p' at the command prompt *ON* the nagios host. After entering the password you should be able to do 'use nagios; show tables; select * from ;'.

No, its not the same. If I have more than enough modem cards (failover) to handle calls, the NAS still works despite one being down. The fact that the one card is down is still bad, but not so bad that the function of the box is nullified. People run multiple services on their boxes; sometimes these services fail to start or stop working, that's why we check them. Sometimes these services also take 7 minutes to boot, and I don't want to hear that they're still down until they've been down for 15 minutes. Also, this can't be the same as setting a adjusting max_check_attempts and *_check_interval, because if it goes down after the box has been running correctly for awhile, I care immediately; only if the box has JUST come out of a DOWN state do I care that it's taking so long for the service to come up. - -Doug - -- Douglas E.

No, its not the same. If I have more than enough modem cards (failover) to handle calls, the NAS still works despite one being down. The fact that the one card is down is still bad, but not so bad that the function of the box is nullified. People run multiple services on their boxes; sometimes these services fail to start or stop working, that's why we check them. Sometimes these services also take 7 minutes to boot, and I don't want to hear that they're still down until they've been down for 15 minutes. Also, this can't be the same as setting a adjusting max_check_attempts and *_check_interval, because if it goes down after the box has been running correctly for awhile, I care immediately; only if the box has JUST come out of a DOWN state do I care that it's taking so long for the service to come up. - -Doug - -- Douglas E.

This was easy enough to setup, by making the NOC contact use 'c,w' for services and 'd' for host notification options. Now they would like to have the remaining down/unreachable messages arrive at a different email address. Again, I thought this would not be a big deal, I would just create a new contact that has the opposite notification options. However, when I verify the configuration, I receive this error message: Checking contacts...

I'm not sure that you can... the host's active check is never executed as long as at least one service is up and running. The assumption is that if some services are running, the host must be online. If you need to collect stats from that check command, you can duplicate it as a service. For example, my host check command is a ping.. but I've also got a PING service defined for all hosts. -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From danb at mojolin.com Tue Sep 23 19:04:03 2003 From: danb at mojolin.com (Dan Barber) Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 13:04:03 -0400 (EDT) Subject: statusmap patch reflects service status In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello all, Here is a patch to statusmap.c which will refelect the status of services in the background color.

If you have disabled active checks in the config file, and restarted nagios, but it is still doing the active checks, the only reason left (as far as I'm aware) is that retain state is on.. this would retain the ENABLED state of active checks across restarts of nagios.

The advantages of BB in the eyes of my employer are - the amount of already through BB monitored hosts, appr. 400 (compared to appr. 200 monitored hosts through Nagios) - the base of productive scripts which monitor especially our big Solaris systems and database installations (Oracle, Informix) - the variety of already existing scripts for BB The main reason from my very personal view was: they decided it this way, they don't want Linux systems.

We switched to Nagios because Big Brother couldn't handle the load. We would have had to implement 3 different servers, handling the various task. Plus when I look at the possible development aspects of Nagios, I can see a tool comparable to Tivoli if not one step better. I believe your management will have new found respect for Nagios when BB begins to drop emails or sends false alerts because it is backed-up. Good luck on your down-grade, you'll need a very nice server to handle all of those synchronized shell scripts. I still have a bitter taste in my mouth from managing that product.

I have noticed that by default the check duration on Nagios is set to 10 seconds. I've attempted to set the service_check_timeout in Nagios.cfg, but that doesn't appear to have an affect on services.

However, I have been trying for about a week now to get the check_traffic plugin working. I have looked at the maillist archives for help, but am still stuck. (I have tried to contact Adrian Wieczorek but cannot find a valid e-mail for him) 1) Besides the info that comes with the plugin, does anyone have some additional info about configuring it? 2) At least initially I do not want to used RRD, and have disabled that in the Make Config that comes with check_traffic. (Has someone tried it without RRD?) 3) Do I need to recomplie (configure) Nagios after adding the plugin or just restart?

On my systems, it's in /var/log/nagios/status.sav, but I'm pretty sure it won't be there for you. This will clear everything, including host status.

I think I answered that in my last email: use the web interface to disable active checks for that service. Go to Service Detail, click on the service you want, then click on "Disable checks of this service."

You're getting a "403 Forbidden" error from the web server. The check_http program considers this a warning (as it should). Sounds like your authentication is getting through (otherwise it would be a 401 error), but hitting some other access violation with your web configuration. You need a "200 OK" response for it to go green. _______________________________________________ Joe Morris, Web Systems Manager Academic Technology and Networks The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From mpowell at ena.com Wed Sep 24 16:37:06 2003 From: mpowell at ena.com (Marc Powell) Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 09:37:06 -0500 Subject: side.html Message-ID: <5DB017510818EC468B05BD7BD9EACF8303E7EE68@mismail.ena.com> That's pretty slick =) Thanks for sharing! -- Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: Williams, P.

You need a "200 OK" response for it to go green. The 403 Forbidden is the same error you'd get if authentication failed as well. 401 is only given if the resource can't be found. Frank, If you're sure that you have the correct HTTP user and password, check your web server log files for some indication of why access is being denied.

It's a RedHat 8. According to rpmfind.net, libssl.so.4 appears in openssl-0.9.7a. Is that installed on your system? Was that listed as a pre-requisite by whoever built the RPM for you? > > How come it's not allowed to mail? > And why don't my plugins work?

Google is your friend -- http://www.faqs.org/docs/abs/HTML/exitcodes.html return code of 126 means that the specified file is not executable. Is /bin/mail executable by the nagios user on your system? > > The plugins directory is correct (as you can see from the first error), > I installed the RPM versions of Nagios and the plugins. Correct for your installation maybe. I have mine in the standard location of /usr/local/nagios/libexec. A return code of 127 means that the command you are trying to execute was not found. Verify that the $USER1$ macro in resource.cfg points to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins and/or that your command definitions in commands.cfg are using the $USER1$ macro or have the full path to the command specified. Depending on who built the RPM, those may be incorrect. There are copious amounts of documentation on http://www.nagios.org that will likely be of value. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From matt.pounsett at cira.ca Wed Sep 24 18:45:07 2003 From: matt.pounsett at cira.ca (Matt Pounsett) Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 12:45:07 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Checking for perticular procs In-Reply-To: <309765CC7547D7119FF30050DA7A3BD7205261@EXCH> References: <309765CC7547D7119FF30050DA7A3BD7205261@EXCH> Message-ID: On Wed, 24 Sep 2003, Dan Spray wrote: > Hello, > > > > Is there a script that will check if certain processes are running?

Make sure the script or binary you are trying to > execute actually exists... You (nagios) don't have permission to execute /bin/mail. Check the permissions on the binary. It also looks as if you may have unbalanced quotes in the command.. double check your command syntax. '126' is the exit code of the call to /bin/mail.. Nagios normally expects a return code in the range 0 -> 3 (OK, WARNING, CRITICAL, UNKNOWN). > Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'HTTP' on host 'sv09' > was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually > exists. Again, check the syntax of your command. check_http failed to run for some reason. I find I get error code 127 if I mistype the path to the binary, or if I have unbalanced quotes. > Information says: "(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be > missing)" - except ping, which says "/bin/ping -n -U -c 5 " (and > status is 'unknown') and SMTP (running fine). Possibly you're getting usage information back from your call to your ping plugin. Whenever you get errors like these, take a careful look at your command syntax.. that's usually the culprit. If you can't figure it out, then please cut and paste your check command into any requests for help.. it makes it a lot easier to point out the problems. -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From pctech at mybellybutton.com Wed Sep 24 18:51:16 2003 From: pctech at mybellybutton.com (Frank Tanner III) Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 09:51:16 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Stupid check_http Question In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20030924165116.56589.qmail@web13406.mail.yahoo.com> If I manually type in the line it works.

I have an alternative you might consider trying that perhaps will put the simple back into SNMP. Cisco provides details on the bgp mib you can use to finish the script. (I don't know if these are vendor specific or not, but other vendors should freely provide their MIBs.) http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/Mibbrowser/unity.pl?o=1.3.6.1.2.1.15&t=yes&st=3#oid Here's a rough example: (By no means should this be considered a working script... it's just to demonstrate the use of programs probably already on your monitoring system instead of heaps of unnecessary code.

Here it is the list as defined in cgi/statusmap.c: #define LAYOUT_USER_SUPPLIED 0 #define LAYOUT_SUBLAYERS 1 #define LAYOUT_COLLAPSED_TREE 2 #define LAYOUT_BALANCED_TREE 3 #define LAYOUT_CIRCULAR 4 #define LAYOUT_CIRCULAR_MARKUP 5 #define LAYOUT_CIRCULAR_BALLOON 6 Look at the diff files and substitute the "layout=1" string with "layout=?" where ? is a number from 0 to 6 to be chosen from the above list or just skip this step if you are comfortable with the default setting. Apply the patch by typing: cd /cgi patch status.c /locate-on-map.diff patch extinfo.c /locate-on-map-extinfo.diff make;strip status.cgi extinfo.cgi;cp status.cgi extinfo.cgi /sbin Now set /sbin/status.cgi and extinfo.cgi permissions as those of the other files in that dir and you have finished.

Almost 800 servers and about another 600 network devices (mostly Cisco, Foundry and NetScreens). My only question right now is in regards to network performance and health monitoring. Maybe I missed references to that topic in the docs or in previous mail list emails, but I couldn't find much mention of it.

Then I let Redhat up2date upgrade the version to 3.23.56-9. This still would not work, so I downloaded the mysql-devel-3.23.56-9 from rpmfind.net.

I looked into this a couple years ago using a perl module for R/3 but it was decided to roll it in to different monitoring. Time permitting I'd be interested in helping get something going however. I'm not actually part of a basis team but I might be able to get an account in R/3 which would give me read access to the needed data.

If it accepts email as source, then just have nagios send email to it. I do that and it works well. The only thing I'd add is that we use a rate-limiter script for alerting to not overwhelm the pagers/SMS phones... we only will send 5 pages in 5 minutes; any more than that, we don't send them, and just send a "Too many pages" page, which everyone understands to mean "Bad things have happened". :) M -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The hosts are 'assumed to be up' initially because if the very first check of any service on that host is OK then the host is assumed to be OK. It's only when a service on that host changes state (i.e. goes CRITICAL), only then is the host actively checked with the command specified (or not in your case).

Message-ID: I'm having a problem using the templates with the host extended info. Here's what's going on. I've defined a couple of templates for different system types (such as Windows and RedHat Linux): define hostextinfo { name windows icon_image windows.gif register 0 } Then if I define two Windows hosts using the windows template: define hostextinfo { use windows host_name win1 } define hostextinfo { use windows host_name win2 notes_url /moreinfo/windows.html } You would think that only win2 would have additional notes, but both win1 AND win2 have additional notes. If I remove the notes_url from win2, the additional notes disappear from both win1 and win2. The odd thing is that I've only noticed this behavior with the notes_url configuration directive. Everything else seems okay. I'm assuming this is a bug - or am I missing something here? Has anyone else seen this?

Or even better get the source, run configure and compile it yourself and then take the binaries and build your own RPM. Is dead easy. You can also get rid of unwanted plugins and pack your own scripts into the RPM. If you want to monitor multiple systems and also provide certain default configs this is the only way. The advantage.... you decide where the files go. I personally prefer to have everything in a clear structure and not splattered all over the file system. I usually install nagios in /usr/local/nagios and the plugins in /usr/local/nagios/libexec. Config files go on my systems into /etc/nagios. Makes finding things allot easier after a while. The RPMs from dag use when i remember right many different directories. So for example the plugins end up in /usr/lib/nagios, nagios in a total different directory and the web-interface again in another directory....... administrative nightmare jumps to my mind.

While trying to debug my hostextinfo problem I just posted about, I ran into a little problem when I reloaded nagios's configuration using /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload. For some reason, half of my disabled checks just automatically got re-enabled. I re-disabled them, but after tweaking the config file some more, I had to restart Nagios again. I'm not positive, but it looked like those same checks got re-enabled again. I have nagios retaining state information in the nagios.cfg and for each individual host and service. Nagios is set to use retained program state. This shouldn't be happening. After some thought, I think I may have found a correlation. When I started up Nagios for the first time, there were several machines in the configuration that weren't online yet. So after nagios was up and running and started performing checks, I used the web interface to disable checks for the down hosts. I was able to disable most of them before they ever got executed, leaving them in a PENDING state. I'm not 100% positive (and I can't toy around too much with this because it's a production system), but I believe when I restarted Nagios, it scheduled all of my PENDING checks first, even though they had been disabled. It appears Nagios ignores whether a check is disabled or not if it has never been executed. Can anyone else confirm this?

Did you encounter any problems with storing the data in the database? I am planning to set up Nagios for our network within the next weeks ( if time permits :( ) and I am planning on using database support rather than just flat files. It seems that there are many advantages to a database: - better performance - better scalability - easier to use the data independently from nagios in you own scripts if necessary (just some SQL-queries rather than having to write a full parser) The only reason I could think of that could be held against going the database way is that using the file system might seem a little more stable since you have less components that might cause problems compared to the db-way (here you have the sockets, db server process, maybe even networking issues if the db is on a remote host). But I think as long as you keep nagios and the db on the same physical server so that network problems will not be an issue, you should be really safe. We have been working with mysql for years and never had one single problem that was really caused by the database system itself as far as I remember. If we had problems at all, it was in a remote db-server environment caused by networking issues (DNS changes, network down, firewall, etc) or the harddisk crashing - but that will kill you anyway, no matter what route you go... So without having practical nagios experience yet, I would say keep the db - move it to the same server you are running the nagios process on if it is not there yet).

I have a xml file which defines hosts and a script which reads it and outputs the nagios .cfg files. terminator linux engr-srv http My script takes groups and types and automatically adds service checks for things like memory, cpu, etc. If the host is a win2k machine it also use check_nt to find out which drives it has and lists them for disk usage checks. One of the things that drove me crazy about the nagios cfg format is there is so much duplication. This lets me easily define and change machines and not forget to update one of the files. As for the XML itself, well I had never written an XML based app and this seemed like a good project to learn with. Not one of those XML everywhere types, honest. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From Jeff.Bolden at sterlingsavings.com Thu Sep 25 20:26:24 2003 From: Jeff.Bolden at sterlingsavings.com (Jeff Bolden) Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 11:26:24 -0700 Subject: APAN & Mandrake 9.1 problems? Message-ID: <9C6850E058139C4FB8846E6E482367AB0314430C@exchange2000.sterlingsavings.com> Been awhile since I've had to write to the list, but I'm really banging my head against the wall here and thought it was time to ask for some help. I have an existing Nagios 1.0/APAN setup installed on Mandrake 9.0. The box has been acting rather flakey the last few months, so I'm currently building a brand new server with Nagios 1.1 and Mandrake 9.1. The box is built and all my config files have been moved over to the new box, and Nagios is running well. A lot of my APAN checks however, are not. I use APAN in combo with NSClient to pull data such as System Load, Drive Usage, etc. from our Win2k boxes. This has always worked great in the past, but I cannot get all the checks to run correctly on the new server. Actually, let me rephrase that, I get no errors in apan.debug, but I'm not getting any info back on the checks. The RRD files are getting touched, but it's like the script is not passing all the data, so the graphs show blank. So to begin with, is anyone having any problems with the Mandrake 9.1/APAN combo? This box is almost a mirror image of the original box, same permissions, passwords, configs, RRDs, everything. The only difference at this point is the newer OS and dependencies. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From matt.pounsett at cira.ca Thu Sep 25 20:26:15 2003 From: matt.pounsett at cira.ca (Matt Pounsett) Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 14:26:15 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Nagios showcase project !

I haven't been following the Nagios 2.0 discussions at all.. but perhaps this is something for the devo group to look at, if they aren't/haven't already. It seems like steps were made with 1.0 toward inheritance, with the template system... this has certainly improved the readability of config files, but defining new hosts is still not as quick and easy as it could be. With some slight rearrangement of the relationship between host and service definitions we could have a proper inheritance system that would make a lot of this much easier to deal with. For example, if a host's services and extinfo were part of the host definition, it would be easy to define new servers.. 1) define templates for the various services you want checked 2) define a generic host template which includes common services such as PING, SSH, disk and memory checks... maybe also a set of Windows and UNIX host templates that inherit the generic host and modify or add to those services.. Then, all you need to add new hosts is define a host with its unique name and IP Address, inherit the proper generic server type. The only services or other information one would need to define are those which are unique to that host. For larger installations, one might add another layer of templates and define generic web servers, mail servers, etc. In short, I envision each of the current object definitions remaining as they are except for the 'service' and 'host' definitions... 'service' would no longer relate a service to a particular host, but simply relate a service name to the relevant command. The host definition would need a new directive which adds a service to that host or host template. There's probably a better place for this discussion... and perhaps it's too late to consider changes to the config format for 2.0.. but I thought I'd share my thoughts anyway. Cheers, all.

The only reason I didn't make an "spawner" type script (by that I mean a script that takes one format and uses it to spawn another) is because things were still in flux at the time as to what hosts needed what monitoring. I've not looked into nagios 2.0 much, but I really hope it is moving towards more template-based configuration. The repetition is killing me. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From darrenh at gallagher.co.nz Thu Sep 25 22:19:58 2003 From: darrenh at gallagher.co.nz (Darren Harrison) Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 08:19:58 +1200 Subject: Nagios + SMS = TRUE?

I have just signed up for nagios maiiling lists, and I am not sure if this question belongs here or somewhere else. I am setting up nagios on our site, to monitor few hundreds UNIX boxes. I have created a plugin to monitor disk usage, different from the default in the way that it monitors all the localy mounted file systems. As output I have included something like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OK: / (/dev/sda2) - 76% (2.4G of 3.3G)
OK: /var (/dev/sda3) - 7% (321M of 4.8G)
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ where it would change the service state if any of the FSs went beyond the limit and highlight the line with the particular mount point in red. Since some of our Sun servers have quite a few mount points, I ran into the plugin output limit. I have changed the value of MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH to 1024, recompiled and everything seems working nicely. I have following questions: 1. Is this change of limit going to bite me in the arse at some other place in the program? 2. Would it be a good idea to make mandatory --verbose switch for plugins to provide more or less information depending on the context (i.e. provide a one-liner in Service Status Details screen and a long description in Service State Information screen). ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From crowderlg at ldschurch.org Fri Sep 26 01:00:16 2003 From: crowderlg at ldschurch.org (Larry Crowder) Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 17:00:16 -0600 Subject: Host Status not updating Message-ID: Has someone seen a situation where the status of some hosts (about 10 or so out of three hundred) is not updating correctly?

I have written two perl scripts, both of which are installed in /usr/local/bin. jabber-send.pl establishes a connection to our jabber server and sends $ARGV[0] to $ARGV[1]. for example: jabber-send.pl "jabber.test.com/announce/online" "This is a test" nagios-jabber-event-handler formats a message based on stuff it gets from nagios, and sends in the event of a HARD state: for example: nagios-jabber-event-handler "CRITICAL" "HARD" "5" "host" "svc" "blah" "foobar" it sends the message by calling jabber-send.pl. everything looks okay. The pre-flight check finds no problems. I never receive jabbers, unless I change the config below to point directly at jabber-send.pl. The problem with this is that I then get a jabber for every soft state as well as the hard states, which can be annoying to say the least. Also notice the debug file I generate (/var/log/nagios/blah) in my event handler script. In theory it is supposed to dump the ARGV array into that file when the script is called. If I run the script by hand, it works. Nagios' invocation of the script, however, never results in the creation of that file, in addition to the fact that I never get a jabber. Thoughts? jabber-send.pl: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Net::Jabber qw(Client); my $username = "foobar"; my $password = "baz"; my $server = "jabber.test.com"; my $to = $ARGV[0]; my $message = $ARGV[1]; my $resource = `hostname`;#.substr(rand(), 3, 6); #my $Con = new Net::Jabber::Client( debuglevel => 2, debugfile => "stdout" ); my $Con = new Net::Jabber::Client(); my $status = $Con->Connect(hostname => $server); if(!$Con->Connected()) { die "Error connecting to Jabber server\n"; } my @result = $Con->AuthSend(username => $username, password => $password, resource => $resource, ); if($result[0] ne "ok") { die "Error authenticating: $result[0], $result[1]\n"; } $Con->MessageSend( to => $to, body => $message, type => "chat", priority => 1000, ); $Con->Disconnect() if $Con->Connected(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ nagios-jabber-event-handler: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Data::Dumper; open(FILE, '>/var/log/nagios/blah')||die('wtf'); print FILE Dumper(\@ARGV); close FILE; my $state = $ARGV[0]; my $type = $ARGV[1]; my $attempt = $ARGV[2]; my $user = $ARGV[3]; my $host = $ARGV[4]; my $svc = $ARGV[5]; my $msg = $ARGV[8]; if($svc eq "none") { $msg = "$host is $state $msg"; } else { $msg = "$host/$svc is $state $msg"; } #send message if($type eq "HARD") { `/usr/local/bin/jabber-send.pl "$user" '$msg'`; } else { `/usr/local/bin/jabber-send.pl "$user" 'Not a hard error state: $msg'`; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ relevant lines from nagios.cfg: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ global_host_event_handler=jabber-host-event-handler global_service_event_handler=jabber-service-event-handler ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ relevant lines from command.cfg: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ define command{ command_name jabber-host-event-handler command_line /usr/local/bin/nagios-jabber-event-handler "$SERVICESTATE$" "$STATETYPE$" "$SERVICEATTEMPT$" "jabber.sell.com/announce/online" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "at $DATETIME$: $HOSTADDRESS$; $OUTPUT$" } define command{ command_name jabber-service-event-handler command_line /usr/local/bin/nagios-jabber-event-handler "$HOSTSTATE$" "$STATETYPE$" "$HOSTATTEMPT$" "jabber.sell.com/announce/online" "$HOSTALIAS$" "none" "at $DATETIME$: $HOSTADDRESS$; $OUTPUT$" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Shane Allen http://www.emphasys.net ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From karl at debisschop.net Fri Sep 26 05:20:47 2003 From: karl at debisschop.net (Karl DeBisschop) Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 23:20:47 -0400 Subject: Plugin output question In-Reply-To: <3F735739.6050706@bnl.gov> References: <3F735739.6050706@bnl.gov> Message-ID: <1064546446.8803.3.camel@miles.debisschop.net> On Thu, 2003-09-25 at 16:59, Dmitriy Kropivnitskiy wrote: > Hello all. > > I have just signed up for nagios maiiling lists, and I am not sure if > this question belongs here or somewhere else. > I am setting up nagios on our site, to monitor few hundreds UNIX boxes. > I have created a plugin to monitor disk usage, different from the > default in the way that it monitors all the localy mounted file systems. > As output I have included something like this: > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > OK: / (/dev/sda2) - 76% (2.4G of > 3.3G)

I hacked the status CGI a bit to take a host name or host address for the search. Wildcard support isn't available (it might be later), but the status CGI only displays details for one host at a time, so I don't know how useful it would be (other than to shorten keystrokes). Perhaps the first host name that matches the pattern would be the one to get displayed... BTW, someone else (I don't recall who) had posted this search feature patch a few months back, but I forgot to incorporate it at the time.

Double-check your command definitions and make sure they are pointing to your executables (expand out the command_line manually and run it from the command prompt for example) and check that your executables are in group 'nagios' or that the user nagios in in the group associated with your executables.

I would be interested to look at your script, would appreciate it if you posted it. -Thanx for all input, seems like templates suggested by Brad is the way to go.

After building the RPM, I have installed it on 3 different RH9 servers. I have no indication that the paths compiled into the plugins are wrong. Nor have I heard any reports to that effect. Either you know something I don't, or I am not undertsanding you. Since this bears upon creating uasble RPMs in the future, could you elaborate? Perhap you nean that the config file in nagios may not point to the same file path as the plugins? If so, editing the config file (which is part of nagios in the default install anyway) might be easier than rebuilding. -- Karl > Dan > > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Brad Dunn > Sent: 26 September 2003 08:28 > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] inability to locate plugins > > > Hi, I'm running Nagios on a Redhat 9 box and have selected a bunch of > test hosts to run a couple of checks against (mostly ping) and when I > check it out to see if its checking the hosts.

Did you > encounter any problems with storing the data in the database? > DB support sounds good, but unfortunately only a few tables are maintained (actually 12 and even less in Nagios 2.0) and without historical records! I am concerned about generating pretty "services availability reports" and, for that purpose, the relevant data is NOT in the DB but in "nagios.log" flat file (with daily rotation). From this point of view, DB data is absolutely irrelevant and do not justified the effort of maintaining mysql. Actually I'll not be the Nagios system manager and I should keep things as simple as possible. No way I could "sell" MySQL support. Make sense? If so, how could I get rid of mysql support efficiently and with no data lost? I might well try a reinstallation of Nagios without mysql support and add then the config and log files previously saved. It does not sound very clever, but being new to mysql that's all I can thing of, apart from asking for advice to this list. > I am planning to set up Nagios for our network within the next weeks > ( if time permits :( ) and I am planning on using database support > rather than just flat files.

I looked into this a couple years ago using a perl module for R/3 but it was decided to roll it in to different monitoring. Time permitting I'd be interested in helping get something going however.

As far as I can see, at least check_sap works as one would expect. So, in principle, it should be possible to read out any value of the the whole CCMS tree (if one knows the name of the MTE). It's not so nice, that you have to use a special nagios version -- but the additional functionality could be worth it: at least there is the chance, that you manage the all SAP Systems/CCMS from one place. I haven't found the appropriate nagios version yet -- I'll take a closer look on Monday. If everything fails, I'll go ahead and patch the plugins -- the important point (in my opinion) of monitoring is the notification in case of an alert, not "click here and change values somewhere"...But as I said: it's a nice feature We are reunning SAP 4.6c on HP/UX 11.11 with an Orcale Database (fairly standard). I'll go ahead and set up the solution manager/web application server as a central monitoring instance next week. So it's possible to get the alerts from all systems by simply querying the CCMS on the Web application server. A while ago, we've decided to monitor the following (the list is not at hand -- sorry -- but it was very short, anyway): - tablespaces (no more extentts...) - aborted jobs (you'll need only a small fraction of all jobs...but it seems, that a couple of jobs is really important) - mean dialog response time - There are some slog messages, that also need to be monitored (Sorry...cannot remember the Codes...) - If you haven't already done it: you'll have to monitor the filesystem space at least of the saparch filesystem ! No space left on device -> SAP halted !

I'm hoping to get this installed over the weekend on my test system to see whats going on there. When I went through the configuration files I saw some parameters to enable storing of the various statuses and other data in db-tables. I don't remember which file that was in - I dont have access to the system right now... I would guess that you can just uncomment those parameters to deactivate db-data storage and then you should be fine. Especially since you said that "DB data is absolutely irrelevant". I am hoping to get some more info on what data is stored in the database vs. what is stored in files only from the developers at Nagios - any responses ?!?

There are several plugins, some without depending on a special Nagios version. The special nagios version is more like controlling SAP, (stopping/starting), load a SAP client inside nagios and connect to SAP and setting SAP CCMS values inside SAP. Guess, when you dont need this features a special nagios version is not required. You may need the latest bc-xal manuals from SAP to get into this topics. Spent some time installing the plugin, but got only as far as a valid login. Dont know yet if it is a config or a version problem, But im not a CCMS specialist. I will never get the chance to monitor SAP that way, but still would like to know if some one has got it to work. Regards, Markus -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Schimpke, Dr. Thomas / bhn [mailto:Schimpke at Lenze.de] Gesendet: Freitag, 26. September 2003 17:09 An: 'Ned Hanks'; 'Lonny Selinger'; Nagios-Users (E-mail) Betreff: RE: [Nagios-users] Monitoring R/3 SAP Hi Ned, I looked into the SAP plugins for nagios today. As far as I can see, at least check_sap works as one would expect. So, in principle, it should be possible to read out any value of the the whole CCMS tree (if one knows the name of the MTE). It's not so nice, that you have to use a special nagios version -- but the additional functionality could be worth it: at least there is the chance, that you manage the all SAP Systems/CCMS from one place. I haven't found the appropriate nagios version yet -- I'll take a closer look on Monday. If everything fails, I'll go ahead and patch the plugins -- the important point (in my opinion) of monitoring is the notification in case of an alert, not "click here and change values somewhere"...But as I said: it's a nice feature We are reunning SAP 4.6c on HP/UX 11.11 with an Orcale Database (fairly standard). I'll go ahead and set up the solution manager/web application server as a central monitoring instance next week. So it's possible to get the alerts from all systems by simply querying the CCMS on the Web application server. A while ago, we've decided to monitor the following (the list is not at hand -- sorry -- but it was very short, anyway): - tablespaces (no more extentts...) - aborted jobs (you'll need only a small fraction of all jobs...but it seems, that a couple of jobs is really important) - mean dialog response time - There are some slog messages, that also need to be monitored (Sorry...cannot remember the Codes...) - If you haven't already done it: you'll have to monitor the filesystem space at least of the saparch filesystem ! No space left on device -> SAP halted !

Periodically, during a Nagios reload, "odd flapping issues" may occur. The flapping issues only affect new passive services previously not in the status retention file. A bug causes these services to become active services, causing the specified check_command (stale_check) to be executed at the check_interval in addition to any passive submission you may be making. This problem will remain until the status.sav file is cleared (and Nagios restarted) /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios stop echo "" > /usr/local/nagios/var/status.sav /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios start I have not tested (I can't duplicate this problem on purpose), but I believe a reload will also work. echo "" > /usr/local/nagios/var/status.sav /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios/reload This problem is very easy to identify (you'll see active services in your web-interface or status.log that are indeed not active) and the posted resolutions are fast and virtually unnoticeable. The only side affect for the first solution is that email notifications for any down service will be redelivered and some data may show up as pending until the first service check has been performed.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4945.192.168.1.15.1064611797.squirrel@xyzzy.homeip.net> First of all, you normally would use a service check ("check_command") to determine if a host is up or down. Usually people use check-host-alive, which checks for a reponse to ICMP echo, a.k.a., PING. If that defined check_command test fails, the host is considered to be down. Second, just because none of the services that you check on the host are responding, does not mean that the host is "down". For example, a host might be running just fine, but the HTTP daemon isn't running because of a configuration problem. Does that mean the host is down? No. The service is, but not the host, since other services, like FTP or SSH or IMAP might be working just fine. If you really consider a host "down" if a particular service is not responding, then make a check for that service the "check_command" for that host. You can even have it check multiple services for that check_command (left as an example for the reader.) Try doing *that* in Big Brother. :) I am confused about your rationale for this. Unless they are responsible for the host platform itself, why would your co-workers care about a host being down anyway? It's been my experience that most users just care about services, not hosts. - Mike > I have a situation where a service has problems, (PING drops packets or server IP > address is actually changed) at which time Nagios correctly sets the Service status > to "Critical".

I'm having an issue with a custom plugin of mine, which (according to Nagios) is /periodically/ existing with status UNKNOWN and no output (it does this maybe 1 execution in 100). It's a fairly simple perl script, and all instances of exit() are preceeded by output to stdout. So, the only reason I can think of for Nagios to report this is if perl completely failed to compile the script -- except then I should get some other exit value besides 3. I suspect it's Nagios that has the problem, not the script, but I'd like to absolutely rule out problems with the script first. I would try dumping some debug output from the script, except that I can't find a way to get Nagios to capture that information... anyone have any ideas? -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett at cira.ca Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From marcioqueiroz at vicom.com.br Fri Sep 26 23:10:43 2003 From: marcioqueiroz at vicom.com.br (Marcio Queiroz) Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 18:10:43 -0300 Subject: RES: Multi-user nagios Message-ID: It?s possible do do so.

Then setup a Nagios hostgroup called "virtual_web_hosts" (or whatever you want to name it), and setup an http_check service for this group - so you dont have to do it for each of the hosts. In addition, you can express the dependency of the server that physically hosts the virtual host by making the physical server's host record the parent of each virtual host's host record. I haven't done this myself (yet) but I think this is the logical way of doing it and I will probably go this way soon - unless this solution causes a configuration problem I am not aware of at the moment...

Please help me, thanks. When you get the ping syntax as output from check_ping, that means that for wahtever reason, the invocation of /bin/ping failed badly. Since you can run it by hand, it is likely not the path. My next guess is that your OS has been hardened and does not allow unpriveleged users to run the ping command (Mandrake has a secure mode that will do this, bastille can make this change if you run redhat, I'm sure there are others). Of course, since you did not mention what OS you use, I can only speculate. check_fping may have a similar problem, if it is not installed setuid root, you must take on root priveleges to run it. (I am inferring here that you are in a priveleged group, or that whe you ran these successfully, you did so as root.) -- Karl ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From visigoth at home.nl Mon Sep 29 16:48:55 2003 From: visigoth at home.nl (R.

There seems to be a problem with with the html generation in "tac.cgi" where a few lines are incorrectly commented out using (/* */) which breaks the html. . You can easily take out those comment lines by deleting lines 1223 and 1226 (/* and */) from tac.cgi - removing those fixed the broken HTML for us. Onto the more serious problem. . . Lock Contention? After running the daemon for a while it looks like we get a number process stuck in some wait loop: nagios 22304 1 0 16:01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/n nagios 22311 1 0 16:01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/n nagios 22315 1 0 16:01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/n [etc. etc. into the hundreds over time] Doing an strace of one of these processes, I see that ease of the processes is hanging on a write: strace -p 22075 write(6, "\0\0\0"..., 504 (Of course the "hostname deleted" is really one of our hostnames) It seems that write contention is causing terrific problems for us and will mean that we can't roll out this version. . . It would be very hard to blame the hardware for this. . . the disk is very fast and we are using ext3 (both of which are 'better' than our old test machine running 1.0 which didn't have these issues). . . Is anyone aware of a quick fix for this? Is anyone else seeing this process build-up? Thanks in advance, Keith -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As far as I can see, at least check_sap works as one would expect. So, in principle, it should be possible to read out any value of the the whole CCMS tree (if one knows the name of the MTE). It's not so nice, that you have to use a special nagios version -- but the additional functionality could be worth it: at least there is the chance, that you manage the all SAP Systems/CCMS from one place. I haven't found the appropriate nagios version yet -- I'll take a closer look on Monday. If everything fails, I'll go ahead and patch the plugins -- the important point (in my opinion) of monitoring is the notification in case of an alert, not "click here and change values somewhere"...But as I said: it's a nice feature We are reunning SAP 4.6c on HP/UX 11.11 with an Orcale Database (fairly standard). I'll go ahead and set up the solution manager/web application server as a central monitoring instance next week. So it's possible to get the alerts from all systems by simply querying the CCMS on the Web application server. A while ago, we've decided to monitor the following (the list is not at hand -- sorry -- but it was very short, anyway): - tablespaces (no more extentts...) - aborted jobs (you'll need only a small fraction of all jobs...but it seems, that a couple of jobs is really important) - mean dialog response time - There are some slog messages, that also need to be monitored (Sorry...cannot remember the Codes...) - If you haven't already done it: you'll have to monitor the filesystem space at least of the saparch filesystem ! No space left on device -> SAP halted !

None so far; I've got ~2500 service checks. It does increase the load on your monitoring host slightly (since the master nagios process is waking up more often to collect results), but it certainly doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. Since Nagios is using a FIFO for the communication from the children to the parent, it shouldn't "lose" anything. M -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The spawned children are attempting to write to the rw FIFO. Since the FIFO queue gets full (it's not very large, maybe 8K max), they block until the reaper reads from the FIFO, and thereby emptying the queue. That's all the children are doing, AFAIK. I'm not sure that having many nagios children is bad, though; it's not like they are doing much. M -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Did anybody find one in the meantime? I am trying to compile Nagios 1.1 with libgd support but Nagios claims it can't find the libraries. I'm running a RedHat 9 installation with libgd, lib-png and lib-jpeg pre-installed in /usr/lib Part of the reason why Nagios can not find the gd-libraries is (I think) that the include files are missing. So I installed lib-png and lib-jpeg from scratch (compiled from source) into /usr/local/libpng and /usr/local/libjpeg The 2 directories each have a lib and a src subdirectory with the respective files in there. Then I compiled the libgd from the source ditstribution into /usr/local/lib-gd, now also with a lib and inc subdirectory. During compilation, libgd says that it found the png and jpeg libraries and that it has png and jpeg support enabled. Then I add all 3 lib subdirectories into /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. Running "ldconfig -v" shows all the libraries in all the 3 newly compiled lib directories as expected. Then I go back to the nagios source tree, type "make clean" and rerun the configure command with the appropriate --with-gd-lib and --with-gd-inc parameter, but it still says it can't find the library. I use --with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib-gd/lib and it says /usr/local/lib-gd/lib does not exist. The directory DOES exist, and the directory and all the files are accessable for all users - but Nagios insists it can't find it. Is there anything I am missing?

Message-ID: <3F78EDB4.6020408@serialized.net> I just spent a very interesting afternoon reading through the last few months of list archives, but was unable to come up with an answer to my question. I apoligize if this has been dealt with to death. Basically, quite often if there is a problem with a host, many of it's services will be down, but it will still be pingable. (The TCP/IP stack is a hardy beast.) Possible causes: disk filling up, ram+swap filling up, very heavy load, etc (even some kernel panics!) -- all of these can cause more than one service to become unreachable, and in many cases, *all* services unreachable -- but still the host check will not fail. This causes the admins to get a flurry of service down alerts, and, when the problem is corrected, a flurry of service up alerts. I tried doing the service dependency route, but the basic problem is still that because of the nagios scheduler, it may decide that the SMTP server is critical, say, 2 minutes before deciding that the service that SMTP depends on is critical, and thus you get paged for both. Is it possible to configure things so you don't have that problem? I understand escalations, but that still doesn't really solve things, unless I'm missing something. I'll still get individual pages for every individual service that is experiencing a problem. My idea (if simple configuration is not the solution) is to do something like this: When a service alert is generated, instead of being emailed directly, it is emailed (or piped) to a script. That script then communicates with the nagios daemon and shedules immediate checks for all the services on the affected server. It waits some suitable time period, and then packages all the alerts received within that window into a single message which it then sends to the admins. (The same process would happen with the service up alerts.) This might not be foolproof, but I think it would cut down on a lot of spurious paging. Has anyone else solved this problem?

Well, by what you desribe you have a series of service critical events taking place and do *not* want to be notified about them. You can solve this any number of ways: 1. Increase max_check_attempts for service checks 2. Remove critical notifications for service checks 3. Remove recovery notifications for service checks 4. Increase notification_interval for service checks 5. Use a global event handler (you mentioned this one) 6. Use service dependencies (you mentioned this one) I would argue you *do* want to be notified about situations where your servers are failing multiple service checks. After all, isn't that the point of monitoring? Moreover, you want to be notified when these services reach a warning state so things don't reach the critical point. In any event, you can reduce the notifications, or turn them off to your heart's content. Just be sure you don't go to far and miss something because you wanted to reduce the number of pages/emails. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demetri Mouratis dmourati at linfactory.com ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From jbarratt at serialized.net Tue Sep 30 07:27:45 2003 From: jbarratt at serialized.net (Joshua Barratt) Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 22:27:45 -0700 Subject: service alert aggregation?

I'm afraid I've been unclear. I very much do want to know about cases in which I have multiple services failing! However, assuming I have a sudden-onset catastrophic failure, such as what happened last night (the system started swapping at an insane rate), this is the alert sequence that was generated: 4:09 AM "HTTP is CRITICAL" 4:09 AM "IMAP is CRITICAL" 4:10 AM "FTP is CRITICAL" 4:12 AM "SMTP is CRITICAL" ... and then the 4 corresponding "... is OK" pages. I'm fairly certain that, in this case, the services all went critical at about the same time; it's just that the way the checks were scheduled, nagios wasn't sure (3/3) until :10 and :12 that FTP and SMTP were actually down. What I would much rather have is 2 pages instead of 8: 4:10 AM "HTTP,IMAP,FTP,SMTP are CRITICAL" ... 4:21 AM "HTTP,IMAP,FTP,SMTP are OK" So if a script simply trapped the first alert that would have been generated (HTTP is CRITICAL) and, because of that, scheduled service checks for "now" on that host, then waited (say 30 seconds) for any further alerts to come through for that host, an alert like the above could be created, instead of the flurry we otherwise have been getting. My goal is not to reduce the amount of information flowing to the admins, just to turn the volume down. Legitimate pages need to get through, and as soon as the problem is known about, but the fewer the better! Sorry for my initial lack of clarity, and thanks for the response...

I dropped my reaper frequency from 5 to 2 seconds and set a max process limit of 21 (suggested by nagios -s), and the frequency of "No output!" errors from this plugin jumped from 25% to 52%. This would seem to suggest that it has something to do with Nagios' internal processing.. but I have no idea what. I'm going to make an official feature request here.. hopefully this is the right place.. I'd like to see an error.log file added, which grabs *all* lines of stderr when plugins output data to stderr. I'm thinking this could be analogous to the way Apache handles stderr output from CGIs. For Nagios, I'd recommend writing a timestamp (which matches the corresponding timestamp in nagios.log), some detail about which service check generated the output, and then all lines of output to stderr. It could be made configurable to optionally also capture all lines to stdout, for some extreme debugging cases. Would anyone else find this useful?

Message-ID: <1064940687.2558.148.camel@localhost> Okay, I tuned our nagios system, here. With an increase in efficiency and "intelligence" there's a lot less false alerts. However, that in itself is causing another problem. Since check_nagios depends on the log being updated to figure out if nagios is running, it often thinks it's dead. We can easily go an hour without an update to the log file. I fixed this by setting log_service_retries=1, but that seems ridiculous. Turning on what amounts to debugging to trick another element of nagios. So, my question is, is there another way to watch nagios that doesn't cause me to have to pile tons of garbage into my filesystem? Some things I was considering, and the reasons I haven't [yet?]: option 1 - cron once per 1 min (and have a 2 min nagios_check max): if [ "`ps -ef |grep nagios|grep -v grep|wc`" -gt 2 ]; then echo "[`date +%s`] Heartbeat">> nagios.log; fi problem - What about zombied processes? I'm falsely assuming 1 or more nagios processes means it's okay. option 2 - change the nagios_check_command in cgi.cfg to use a script with a bunch more logic, but basically use 'lynx -head -dump -auth=user:pwd \ "http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=hostname"' problem - I'm depending on http, which I guess is okay, since if http is failing, I'd be updating the nagios.log anyway with that error and sending out alerts. also, I have to re-invent the process with, so far, unknown feasibility, and I don't have much time to waste if it turns out this is a bad idea for reasons I didn't think of (hence my asking).

But it only does what I *want* if I turn on log_service_retries, as I said (which, as far as I'm concerned, is a waste of space). I did think of something, though. How could nagios know if nagios is off? If it's off, it's not checking things. Or am I missing something? So, what is the function of "checking" nagios with nagios. Why shouldn't I just set check_nagios to -e 9999999999999 and just let it tell me when the log was updated as information, as opposed to determining the state of the daemon? or is my brain hiccuping on this? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From jeff.vier at tradingtechnologies.com Tue Sep 30 20:15:34 2003 From: jeff.vier at tradingtechnologies.com (jeff vier) Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2003 13:15:34 -0500 Subject: check_nagios isn't very smart.

When a passive check is submitted in a Critical state, is the next scheduled active check the normal check, or the retry check? I think I have a unique setup; I have a ton of interfaces I check on my network and generally use traps to trip when they go up or down (Passive check). I wanted to decrease the noise this caused and do active checks periodically as well to make sure things are okay, and to recheck the passive result to make sure it lasted, so I have active checks set to run every 60 minutes, and rechecks at 3 minutes. The problem I'm seeing is that an interface that was marked critical by a passive check was not scheduled to be checked for another 43 minutes; where I thought it should be 3 min or less. My execution latency is reported as 5 sec, and check latency as 9 seconds, so I don't think that my server is overloaded. If I need to setup an event handler to reschedule the check to happen now (or 3 minutes from now), I can do that, but I just need to know if this is intended or expected behavior. - -Doug - -- Douglas E.

Run snmpd. Configure it to watch for the nagios process. Every minute or so, from another machine, check to make sure that the process is running. Send an alert if it's not. Send an alert if the connection is refused. Send an alert if too many processes are running. You can also monitor server load this way, to make sure that nagios is running smoothly. Simple. Doesn't require another nagios installation. Should take five minutes of shell scripting time. And accomplishes what you want it to. But this begs the question: what happens when your snmp monitoring fails? You should update a logfile every time you check, whether successful or not. Run another process to monitor this logfile. To be thorough, send an alert every time this second monitoring process runs. Use some script on another machine to differentiate between a 'nagios monitoring process working' and a 'nagios monitoring process broken'. If it gets a 'broken' update, send a notice. If it doesn't get an update, send a notice. And so on and so forth. Stop wherever you feel that your system/network/SLA requirements are met. This can go on forever, until you effectively run out of machines, and start having nagios (after a long, long chain) monitor itself. Alternatively, and this is just a thought, run nagios under daemontools. If it dies, it will start back up again. - Damian -- I can't decide if it's sad or funny what a combination of complete lack of sleep and excessive caffeine do to a persons thought process. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From Mark.Snyder at worldgaming.com Tue Sep 30 22:26:09 2003 From: Mark.Snyder at worldgaming.com (Mark Snyder) Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2003 16:26:09 -0400 Subject: Stale log files Message-ID: <44DEF9C222BF4A47B3A361765EC1733717600E@anakin.worldgaming.local> Is there a pluggin to check for stale log files?

I am currently working on a system for different view to the webinterace. To the situation: We have many interal machines, monitored by nagios. Works very well. Thanks for the nice piece of Software. No, we want to offer monitoring as a service to our "customers". BUT, they are not allowed to view our internal machines, because of ... uhm ... *cough* ... they are not allowed. ;) Email should be no problem here. Is there a easy way to manage that with the webinterface, without patching huge amounts of the original sources? I thought of a wrapper script, which polls nagios and displays the results on after authentication. I would like to hear the thoughts of this list about this or any other method to manage this situation. Any clues welcome, any help greatly appreciated. -- regards Thorsten Giese ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From lists at bauchi.de Thu Sep 25 10:39:44 2003 From: lists at bauchi.de (bauchi) Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2003 10:39:44 +0200 Subject: Nagios + SMS = TRUE?
