You may want to modify your hosts.cfg file as follows
# 'jello' host definition
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name jello2
alias jello2
address 172.16.1.x
check_command check_host_alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
Also you should have something in relating to the check_ping in your
checkcommands.cfg file similar to this
# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_fping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$
-c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$
}
I believe by default it uses the check_fping instead of check ping. If
you compiled Nagios yourself then there is a file called REQUIREMENTS
that is included with all the files that says the following
check_fping:
- Requires the fping utility distributed with SATAN. Either
download and install SATAN or grab the fping program from
http://www.fping.com
http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/fping/fping.html
=20
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.src.rpm
=20
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/RPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.i386.rpm
Note that the fping command must be setuid root to function.
That will most likely fix the problem for you. Or you could just change
the fping to ping in the checkcommands.cfg file

Sorry I didn't see this e mail before. Here is what you wanted to see.
It is only one machine that I need to monitor.
Here is what my hosts.cfg file looks like.
# 'jello' host definition
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name jello2
alias jello2
address 172.16.1.x
check_command check_ping
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
Here is my services.cfg file for that same machine:
# Service definition
define service{
use generic-service ; Name
of service template to use
host_name jello2
service_description check_ping
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups opnet-admins
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_ping

No, Nagios should take care of this for you.
If it determines the host is down, it should notify you on the host, and
not all the individual services.

Thanks Darren that clears things up immensely.=20
=20
One more question for you then. Say I have one server that has 6
services being checked. If that server goes down then I don't want to be
notified that the other 6 services are down as well. Would I use service
dependencies for this?

Dale:
I believe what you are looking for is a parent-child
relationship, rather than a host-dependency.
=20
Given the following network (forgive the ASCII art ;-) ):
Nagios
|
Firewall
|
*-------*-------*
| | |
A B C
I would set this up as:
define host{
host_name A
parent Firewall
}
=20
define host{
host_name B
parent Firewall
}
=20
define host{
host_name C
parent Firewall
}
=09
define host{
host_name Firewall
}
You will note that there is no parent defined for 'Firewall'.
This is because 'Firewall' is local to Nagios (meaning, no the same
network/subnet).
=20
In this case, if any of 'A','B', or 'C' goes down, Nagios will
check 'Firewall'. If 'Firewall' is down, Nagios will tell you about it,
but NOT about 'A', 'B', or 'C' ('Firewall's children). This will show
up in the web interface as a 'network outage', instead of a simple
'host' outage.
=20
I do not use host dependencies personally, so I could not
comment as to a scenario in which they would be useful.
=20
Important note however, if you want 'Firewall' to be checked
ONLY when any of it's children are down, do not define any services for
this host. If, however, you want Nagios to "active" check this device,
setup a simple 'check_ping' service for it. I have not completely
tested this out, but I do believe that having an "active" check on
firewall in this configuration will allow Nagios to pick up a failure on
that device quicker (this may not be the case thought).
=20
I hope that helps.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Question regarding Dependencies
For give me if this question has been asked before. I
have read the docs in regards to dependencies but am still a bit unclear
as to the internal workings.
=20
If I have 3 servers (www1, www2, www3) on the outside of
my firewall with the following dependencies set up for each of the 3
servers:
=20
define hostdependency{
host_name www1
dependent_host_name firewall
notification_failure_criteria d,u
}
=20
If my firewall goes down, obviously it will notify me
that the firewall is down but will it also notify me that it can't
contact each of the 3 servers as well? Also if one of the servers goes
down is Nagios smart enough to check the firewall first to make sure
that it is still available before notifying me that the server is down
in case that it can't contact the server because the firewall is down?

Is there a way to tell it to use check_ping instead of check_fping?
I have made the first change and my checkcommands has the following:
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c
5000.0,100% -p 1
# command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
I will check and see if they have an fping program for solaris 8 since
this is what my program is running on.
Thanks

If you want to use check_ping instead of check_fping then you can change
the check_ping command definition in the checkcommands.cfg file to:
# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$
-c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$
}
You should probably leave the check-host-alive command as it was upon
installation otherwise you will run into problems if you have more than
one host. The check-host-alive command should be as follows:
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name check-host-alive
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
}
If you set it the way that you changed it
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c=20
5000.0,100% -p 1
Then it will only check the host jello. The -H $HOSTADDRESS$ is a string
that gets it's info from the ip address of the hosts.cfg file. For
example
You have a host called jello whose ip address is 192.168.1.1. In the
services.cfg file you specify that you want Nagios to do a check_ping on
the host jello. The services.cfg file then looks at the hosts.cfg file
to find the ipaddress for the host jello and inserts it into the
$HOSTADDRESS$ string. Now, if you have a jello2 host and want to do a
check_ping on it as well it will take that hosts ip address and insert
it into the $HOSTADDRESS$ string. If you change that string to $jello$
then the check_ping command will only ever check the host jello.

Is there a way to tell it to use check_ping instead of check_fping?
I have made the first change and my checkcommands has the following:
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c=20
5000.0,100% -p 1
# command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w=20
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
I will check and see if they have an fping program for solaris 8 since=20
this is what my program is running on.
Thanks

Alright,
Here is what I have changed if I read correctly:
1. In my hosts.cfg file I have the following entry (in bold is what was
changed):
# 'jello' host definition
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name jelloxx
alias jelloxx
address 172.16.1.x
check_command check_host_alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
2. In my checkcommands.cfg I have the following entries. Entry number
one was change back to it's original and entry number 2 was added.
These are both generic so if I decide to add more machines I will most
likely be ok.
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name check-host-alive
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
}
# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5
3. I installed fping from sunfreeware.com using pkgadd -d so that is
now installed on my machine.
Is there anything else that you can think of that I may need before I
restart nagios?
Thanks,

You should probably leave the check-host-alive command as it was upon
installation otherwise you will run into problems if you have more than
one host. The check-host-alive command should be as follows:
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name check-host-alive
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
}
If you set it the way that you changed it
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c
5000.0,100% -p 1
Then it will only check the host jello. The -H $HOSTADDRESS$ is a
string
that gets it's info from the ip address of the hosts.cfg file. For
example
You have a host called jello whose ip address is 192.168.1.1. In the
services.cfg file you specify that you want Nagios to do a check_ping
on
the host jello. The services.cfg file then looks at the hosts.cfg file
to find the ipaddress for the host jello and inserts it into the
$HOSTADDRESS$ string. Now, if you have a jello2 host and want to do a
check_ping on it as well it will take that hosts ip address and insert
it into the $HOSTADDRESS$ string. If you change that string to $jello$
then the check_ping command will only ever check the host jello.

Also you should have something in relating to the check_ping in your
checkcommands.cfg file similar to this
# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_fping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$
-c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$
}
I believe by default it uses the check_fping instead of check ping. If
you compiled Nagios yourself then there is a file called REQUIREMENTS
that is included with all the files that says the following
check_fping:
- Requires the fping utility distributed with SATAN. Either
download and install SATAN or grab the fping program from
http://www.fping.com
http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/fping/fping.html
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.src.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/RPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.i386.rpm
Note that the fping command must be setuid root to function.
That will most likely fix the problem for you. Or you could just
</excerpt>change
<excerpt>the fping to ping in the checkcommands.cfg file

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problem with false status
Hello all,
I am new to installing nagios and I am having a common problem that I
can't seem to solve.
Right now I have configured nagios to monitor a machine to check and
see if it is up or down using ping. Nagios has noticed that the
particular machine was done when I did a reboot to test to see if the
notification was working. That worked with no problems. However...
Now that the machine is back up and running, nagios is still saying
that this machine is down. If I look at the web interface it says
</excerpt>that
<excerpt>its down and I am getting a page every 2 hours letting me
know that
</excerpt>the
<excerpt>machine is still down. I can get the machine that it is
monitoring
with no problems and even the machine that nagios is running on can
</excerpt>get
<excerpt>to this machine.
I checked the FAQ on nagios.org and it told me to "Make sure that the
host check command in your host definition is configured correctly."
Unfortunately I don't know which file they are talking about. I
checked the hosts.cfg file and it seems to be fine (from what I can
tell). Can anyone give me a better idea of what I am looking for and
how to solve this?
Thanks,

Subject: [Nagios-users] Notification with different "From" address
I'm trying to configure 'notify-by-email' to send
mails with a different mail id instead of the default
nagios at localhost.localdomain.com but having problems.
I know mail command does no have option to specify a
different sender address. I tried using sendmail
instead but with this I cannot use the specify the
subject. Has anyone does this?
Any help would be really helpful. I'm running nagios
on Fedora FC2.
Thanks in advance

Nope, that all looks good.
=20
Note.=20
If you decide to use fping instead of ping the only thing you will need
to do now that you've got fping installed would be to change ping to
fping in the checkcommands file and setuid to root on the fping file.
Not sure where it is on your system but on my machine it's in
/usr/sbin/fping. If you decide that you do not want to use fping then
disregard this part

Alright,=20
=20
Here is what I have changed if I read correctly:=20
=20
1. In my hosts.cfg file I have the following entry (in bold is what was
changed):=20
=20
# 'jello' host definition=20
define host{=20
use generic-host ; Name of host template to use=20

notification_options d,u,r=20
=20
2. In my checkcommands.cfg I have the following entries. Entry number
one was change back to it's original and entry number 2 was added. These
are both generic so if I decide to add more machines I will most likely
be ok.=20
=20
# 'check-host-alive' command definition=20
define command{=20
command_name check-host-alive=20

=20
3. I installed fping from sunfreeware.com using pkgadd -d so that is now
installed on my machine.=20

Is there anything else that you can think of that I may need before I
restart nagios?=20

If you want to use check_ping instead of check_fping then you
can change=20
the check_ping command definition in the checkcommands.cfg file
to:=20
=20
# 'check_ping' command definition=20
define command{=20
command_name check_ping=20
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$=20
-c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$=20
}=20
=20
You should probably leave the check-host-alive command as it was
upon=20
installation otherwise you will run into problems if you have
more than=20
one host. The check-host-alive command should be as follows:=20
=20
# 'check-host-alive' command definition=20
define command{=20
command_name check-host-alive=20
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w=20
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1=20
}=20
If you set it the way that you changed it=20
# 'check-host-alive' command definition=20
define command{=20
command_name check_ping=20
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c=20
5000.0,100% -p 1=20
=20
Then it will only check the host jello. The -H $HOSTADDRESS$ is
a string=20
that gets it's info from the ip address of the hosts.cfg file.
For=20
example=20
=20
You have a host called jello whose ip address is 192.168.1.1. In
the=20
services.cfg file you specify that you want Nagios to do a
check_ping on=20
the host jello. The services.cfg file then looks at the
hosts.cfg file=20
to find the ipaddress for the host jello and inserts it into the
$HOSTADDRESS$ string. Now, if you have a jello2 host and want to
do a=20
check_ping on it as well it will take that hosts ip address and
insert=20
it into the $HOSTADDRESS$ string. If you change that string to
$jello$=20
then the check_ping command will only ever check the host jello.
