Message-ID: <41ACFC0F.6080504@iconz.net> I have the following trouble: My host gets checked without a service in a critical state. than all host checks are fired in 20 seconds.. is it possible to state somewhere to do the retry check after 10 Seconds instead of 3 so a retry_check_interval for hosts checks?

It's done in the current version (which I promise to put up for download as soon as I've removed the PKI code from it). The intermediate fix would be sed -i 's/[\t ]*$//' nrpe.conf sed v4.0.9 or later is required for the -i switch.

The most recent CVS snapshot is available at http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot. It's quite stable, but I strongly suggest that you run ./configure with the --disable-nls option. > The latest plugin package is labeled "1.4.0alpha1".

It is, after all a great many programs that are supposed to run on a great variety of platforms. Bugs are inevitable, even if they are only portability bugs.

(Windows monitoring) Message-ID: Hi, A few months ago I started to look at ways to monitor my windows boxes, and thought that NRPE was a bit too heavyweight as many of the computers only need to have CPU, HD, services and processes monitored. I then tried NSClient which I had a lot of problems with, mainly version conflicts with PDH DLL and such making amongst others our exchange server to crash :) In the end I opted for SNMP as it was both lightweight and had most of the features I wanted and most importantly was already in use as we have HP InsightManager for hardware monitoring. But now the question of service monitoring (not process monitoring) have come up, as well as file date/time/size, and some are even talking about other things and I don't know if SNMP can handle that. So the question is which way to go? Before I settled in with SNMP I wrote my own version of NSClient that worked better (written in C++) and had most of the features I needed then. But as I went with SNMP I a banded my version of NSClient. So one strong contender is my version of NSClient as it can "easily" be extended in-house. But are there any good alternatives out there? Which client is the way to go? // Michael Medin ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

[Virus scanned] Message-ID: I just ordered a new machine for our Nagios server which should serve your needs too: Compaq Proliant DL360 G4 with a single Xeon 3.2 Ghz, 2 Gig Ram, 2x 36G 10k HDDs in Raid 1 On a sidenote: don't even consider building a server for yourself with custom hardware. If the company sees the need to monitor its network, it would be a dire mistake to build that on a selfmade machine. Expect any desktop machine to start failing after 1 year and it will prolly die off another year later. They are not meant to run 24x7 under full stress. If they are serious, they buy server hardware for it - and not the cheapest crap around. sash -------------------------------------------------- Sascha Runschke Netzwerk Administration IT-Services ABIT AG Robert-Bosch-Str. 1 40668 Meerbusch Tel.:+49 (0) 2150.9153.226 mailto:SRunschke at abit.de http://www.abit.net http://www.abit-epos.net http://www.my-academy.net -------------------------------------------------- Der Inhalt dieser Email sowie die Anh?nge sind ausschlie?lich f?r den bezeichneten Adressaten bestimmt.

I am in the glorious position to choose what kind of server should be bought for the monitoring server. But actually i have no Idea where to put stress on. I am using Nagios 1.2 to monitor about 200 Hosts and 400 Services but that will be alot ( maybe + 600 Services) more when everything is proper configured. Actually i am running Nagios on a Celeron 300 with 128 Meg under Debain testing, works but starts lagging (load up to 15) and webside is kinda slow. So i got the following question from purchasing guy: What sort of spec do you think would be appropriate? What make/model CPU? Single CPU or multiple? How much RAM? I believe because of the lots of spawned processes a Dual CPU would be fine and some RAM. What would you recommend (be realistic i don't want to have a Dual XXX that is idleing all the time)? I was thinking about either a small Dual System (better opteron or Xeon?) with around a gig of ram. Or a single AMD64 or P4 with a gig of RAM. A configured Dell Server: Dual Xeon 2.8, 1 Gig Ram, 2 *40 GB Raid 1 Harddisks is about 1800 Euro. a selfbuild P4 3.2 will be definitly cheaper :-) Jan ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

After that we had a hard problem (8:41:54) and then a bizarre critical soft (8:53:26), which I can't explain. 8:57:32 we have a Soft Recovery. Again I can't find the hard recovery in the log files...

Some good soul could explain this behavior, because without correct logs, Nagios will generate unreliable availability reports, because Nagios uses only hard states to produce them.

I cannot help you really, but i can say something about future releases of nagios. nagios 2 will come without database support. that's a fact.

Nagios connects successfully (via check_nrpe) to the remote nrpe daemon, the restart script starts to run, but then exits without completing successfully. It appears as if only the first command in the restart script executes (an echo of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and then it exits. If I change the first command in my restart script to "echo foo" it prints foo and then exits. The restart script works successfully, every time, from the command line. Any hints on this? I've seen similar behavior when trying to restart Apache...if my restart script contains two lines (one doing a stop and another doing a start) only the stop gets executed. I've played with the -t option to check_nrpe, by it seems as if all this does is specify how long check_nrpe will wait to connect to the remote nrpe daemon, not how long the connections will stay open. I've also tried backgrounding the restart.

Please. It's due to nagios. Nagios 1.x did some rather clumsy status updates, involving the complete deletion and recreation of the status tables.

NRPE only returns exactly one line of output. That's how nagios does it, so that's how NRPE does it. Are you absolutely positive that the script doesn't continue to run, but you don't get any further output?

I run it and have no 'real' issues that I can discern. I have [distributed] sites with daemon uptimes well into weeks and sometimes over a month (between adds/changes). I noted in the -devel discussion that you were talking about -HUPs - I never -HUP my nag daemons, I only stop/start in case one of the threads hang. Maybe that's the difference. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I don't know why, but this questions about service checks almost never get a response (thank you Andreas very much for you help). Yesterday (I guess) a listmate asket about why service checks happened once second after a host had a down and hard state (which I believe is the opposite we read at the manuals), and I've also found in my log files.

I'm using nagios-1.2 When ever there is a network outage, It is updating information immediately for the same. After Recover of network connectivity all host check and service checks are getting checked and updating information for availability of hosts and services. But many times Trends keeps on continuin with either "HOST UNREACHABLE" status and services with "CRITICAL" status. In such cases when i reboots nagios server then it is recovering it , but it is not a solution. So how to resolve this problem. What i want is, as soon as host &/OR service check get success after network outage, Trends Must get update immediately.

If you want to monitor them, you need a way to thier status data. Try to find a way to the data and then you can look for a plugin, which is capable to go this way (sorry for my bad english). If your raid arrays are monitorable via snmp (look at their docus), check_snmp could be a solution for you.

Several of the servers I'm monitoring are accessed via Samba. I'd like to monitor the number of current users on those systems. I am using the Current Users service, but it reports 0 users logged in to those systems. I assume that's because they're not actually logged in, just using apps and files on the Samba shares. Is there a way to monitor the "Samba users"? Thanks. Dimitri -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's known to happen with the embedded perl, but has also turned out to happen even with minimal configuration options (although at a slower rate). I'm currently hacking on a crude but sort of functional garbage collector that will most likely fix this and be very helpful in ironing out other irregularities that has to do with memory management. When that is done I'll try and badger Ethan into releasing a beta version which will most likely make more people try it and use it and thus more bugreports will come in so the less critical bugs can be found and fixed a whole lot faster. > Thanks. > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.

My monitor host is a SuSE 9.2 Pro with Nagios 1.2 and it tries to monitor a Solaris 8 server without ssl. The check_nrpe script returns this : CHECK_NRPE: Response packet had invalid CRC32. I did recompile check_nrpe to see if it helped, but both the newly compiled check_nrpe without ssl and the '-n' switch give the same results. Simon Kitching made a new nrpe.c and requested users to test it, since he got the same error in Dec. 2003, but noone responded, and it's been so long he forgot all about it.

The only place I found something about the event handler, was the global event log. So look there, if you want to know how often your handlers are called This is more a tip, than anything else.

Sounds like you have 'retain_state_information' set to 1.

The NEB-module is very alpha and not widely used, but if you have a look at the nagios-devel archives I'm sure you'll find it there somewhere. The current gui won't utilize the database though, but doing the updates in a CPU efficient manner should be where the real problem resides. > My nagios server doesn't have php installed so I was contemplating > writing perl frontends.

If using files, the backend should cache the logs in its entirety when it's read to save diskthrashing. If we're using the database there shouldn't be any need for it (since a DB is pretty much just a cache with ultra fast hashes). > I guess those are my two big things.

Check the permissions and all that stuff - most importantly, try running it as the Nagios user. This might be a segfault, but it might be something else. Either way, try running the check as the Nagios user would, and see what it does. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Well, I think hostdependencies are more flexible, but I might be wrong. I have to confess that I dicovered the parent option after trying dependencies. Is the parent options a solution for hosts that depend on a lot of routers/firewalls?

I wanted to use the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro as a part of the notes_url, in order to connect to the monitored machine via VNC. My Problem now is, that the macro does not contain the IP address as expected, but the IP-Address devided with %2e instead of normal dods. When I put the mouse over the link the information in the status bar of the browser looks right, but when I follow the link (click) the address in the address-bar of the new opened window contains "%2e"s instead of normal dods. This ofcourse can also be seen in the generated HTML-Code of the status.cgi. My configuration of hostextinfo looks like the following: define hostextinfo{ host_name prince notes_url http://192.168.10.18:5800 icon_image windows_pc.gif icon_image_alt Silke's Rechner vrml_image windows_pc.gif statusmap_image windows_pc.gd2 2d_coords 140,90 3d_coords 180.0,90.0,40.0 } define hostextinfo{ host_name mogli notes_url http://$HOSTADDRESS$:5800 icon_image ids_server.gif icon_image_alt Arbeitsplatz und Nagiostestrechner vrml_image ids_server.gif statusmap_image ids_server.gd2 2d_coords 80,90 3d_coords 100.0,40.0,20.0 } The upper one works well, because its hard coded (doesn't contain the macro). The lower one instead has the effect described above. upper hostextinfo link: http://192.168.10.18:5800/ lower hostextinfo link: http://192%2e168%2e10%2e12:5800/ I searched the documentation and mailinglist archieves for info about this issue, but did not find any. So I don't know, if this is a bug or not.

I have actually used sample configuration files and checked the configs on the demo site, but still no luck. I tried getting some help from the IRC channel but RTFM was the answer. I figure that even if I read the manual for ten times I will barely become smarter. All other plugins and commands specifications work fine, but hosts check_command doesn't seem to work for me at all and I get PENDING status with not enough information. I tried various debug levels but don't seem to see from them that Nagios actually tries running that check_command. Any other place except for the sources I have to look? Thanks in advance.

The host will never be checked and will remain in a PENDING state if you do not have any services defined (that actually get checked themselves). Additionally, the host won't actually be checked and will only be assumed to be OK until one or more services on the host fails. It sounds to me like you don't have any services being checked on the host at this point. Additionally, a host check of 20 probably isn't a good idea. If the host _were_ to be checked, nagios will stop all processing except for this host check until all 20 attempts have completed. No additional service checks, updates, event handlers, etc will run until this completes. You should only perform the minimal number of pings/attempts to determine the state of the host.

I've seen this as well Whenever a service check results in a non-OK status level, Nagios will attempt to check and see if the host that the service is running on is "alive". but couldn't understand WHY nagios would make an assumption without checking the host status (relevant to the hosts without services)given that in some situation the host status is an important criteria too.

On the third failure, 15 minutes, I expect a notice to the audit-trail, and I get one. On the /sixth/ interval, ie at 30 minutes, I expect to get one and only one notice sent to code-blue, and at the 10th, at 50 minutes past the first detected failure, I expect to see another single notice out to code-yellow. But what I get (on the Extended display) is this: Current Status: CRITICAL Status Information: CRITICAL - File age 10h 48m Current Attempt: 3/3 State Type: HARD Last Check Type: ACTIVE Last Check Time: 12-06-2004 14:51:52 Status Data Age: 0d 0h 1m 12s Next Scheduled Active Check: 12-06-2004 14:53:52 Latency: < 1 second Check Duration: < 1 second Last State Change: 12-06-2004 13:14:23 Current State Duration: 0d 1h 38m 41s Last Service Notification: 12-06-2004 13:14:23 Current Notification Number: 1 Is This Service Flapping? N/A Percent State Change: N/A In Scheduled Downtime? NO Last Update: 12-06-2004 14:53:03 It's an hour and a half past the last change in state, there's been no notices and the current notification number is still listed as "1" -- I'm assuming current notification is the number of notifications that have been sent, which agrees with observation since there have been no escalations. Do I have an inappropriate use of the zero notification interval? Is there something else gone wrong with my configuration? I know that notifications do work because we have some services where the alerts are sent and no obvious difference between their definitions. Also, I'm still attempting to duplicate the result in a test case, but we had our notifications intervals set to 60, intending only one message per hour to be sent while the service check interval was only 5 minutes, but again, instead of an alert after 30 minutes, we received the first alert after more than 300 minutes. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy ============================== www.teledyn.com - blog.teledyn.com - irish.teledyn.com - sbp.teledyn.com ====================== The present moment is a powerful goddess (Goethe) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I'm using nagios 2.0 (cvs), and according to the nagiosgraph debug log, much of the output is just a dollar sign ($). I gave nagiostat a go as well, and it logged the exact same output, so it's not specific to nagiosgraph; it appears to be a nagios issue. Here is a sample of the nagiosgraph debug log: Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT info: Input lastcheck:$ Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT info: Input hostname:aceserver Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT info: Input perfdata:$ Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT info: Input servicedescr:DISK_USAGE Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT info: Input output:$ Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT warn: perfdata not recognized Clearly, some of the output - the "hostname" and "servicedescr" - is correct, but the other three fields are not. I compiled with the "--with-default-perfdata" option, and have "process_performance_data=1" set in nagios.cfg .

I'm surprised you get any at all for your escalations where first_notification is higher than 1. The delay before the first notification is most likely due to the fact that Nagios re-checks your host with retry_check_interval * interval_length seconds and only when max_check_attempts attempts have failed sends out the notification, while the GUI turns red immediately, but with a SOFT error state. > define service { > use net-service > host_name f1, f3 > service_description Log Output > contact_groups audit-trail > normal_check_interval 2 > notification_options w,u,c,r > check_command check_nrpe!check_log > } > -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Things were running fine, with the Master nagios sending its check results to the Slave nagios, using NSCA, v2.4 Due to some unrelated events, I disabled the submission of service checks from the Master to Slave. This in effect has resulted in the Slave simply sitting there and doing nothing (apart from check that the Master was OK). The NSCA daemon (nsca) is still running on the Slave - however, it is now consuming memory until all physical memory is exhausted: about 1Gb RAM in 24hours!!! This suggests that ncsa has a problem only when check results are not being sent (via send_nsca on the Master). As I said earlier, when the Master is sending its results, there are no issues. Anyone else seen this? thanks and regards, Edy Gasparini ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

To test the dependency I created a iptables rule that first rejects icmp packets from router1 and later, when router1 is down, rejects packets from hosts in the hostgroup. The dependeny is also displayed in the cgi interface (view config). The logfile shows the following: HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;3;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;4;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;5;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;6;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;7;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;8;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;HARD;9;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds SERVICE ALERT: router1;PING;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds Ok, the dependent host is down.

Hello Ralf,

why are you using host dependencies = in the first place?
You should use parent relationships = for such an environment.

Well, I think hostdependencies are more flexible, but I might be wrong. I have to confess that I dicovered the parent option after trying dependencies. Is the parent options a solution for hosts that depend on a lot of routers/firewalls?

I wanted to use the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro as a part of the notes_url, in order to connect to the monitored machine via VNC. My Problem now is, that the macro does not contain the IP address as expected, but the IP-Address devided with %2e instead of normal dods. When I put the mouse over the link the information in the status bar of the browser looks right, but when I follow the link (click) the address in the address-bar of the new opened window contains "%2e"s instead of normal dods. This ofcourse can also be seen in the generated HTML-Code of the status.cgi. My configuration of hostextinfo looks like the following: define hostextinfo{ host_name prince notes_url http://192.168.10.18:5800 icon_image windows_pc.gif icon_image_alt Silke's Rechner vrml_image windows_pc.gif statusmap_image windows_pc.gd2 2d_coords 140,90 3d_coords 180.0,90.0,40.0 } define hostextinfo{ host_name mogli notes_url http://$HOSTADDRESS$:5800 icon_image ids_server.gif icon_image_alt Arbeitsplatz und Nagiostestrechner vrml_image ids_server.gif statusmap_image ids_server.gd2 2d_coords 80,90 3d_coords 100.0,40.0,20.0 } The upper one works well, because its hard coded (doesn't contain the macro). The lower one instead has the effect described above. upper hostextinfo link: http://192.168.10.18:5800/ lower hostextinfo link: http://192%2e168%2e10%2e12:5800/ I searched the documentation and mailinglist archieves for info about this issue, but did not find any.

The host will never be checked and will remain in a PENDING state if you do not have any services defined (that actually get checked themselves). Additionally, the host won't actually be checked and will only be assumed to be OK until one or more services on the host fails. It sounds to me like you don't have any services being checked on the host at this point. Additionally, a host check of 20 probably isn't a good idea. If the host _were_ to be checked, nagios will stop all processing except for this host check until all 20 attempts have completed. No additional service checks, updates, event handlers, etc will run until this completes. You should only perform the minimal number of pings/attempts to determine the state of the host.

They might be more flexible, but th= ey are not meant to be used that way

(or of at least one of the services associated with the host), the host's state and status information will be changed. It status status of the host OR service ... I've seen this as well Whenever a service check results in a non-OK status level, Nagios will attempt to check and see if the host that the service is running on is "alive". but couldn't understand WHY nagios would make an assumption without checking the host status (relevant to the hosts without services)given that in some situation the host status is an important criteria too.

On the third failure, 15 minutes, I expect a notice to the audit-trail, and I get one. On the /sixth/ interval, ie at 30 minutes, I expect to get one and only one notice sent to code-blue, and at the 10th, at 50 minutes past the first detected failure, I expect to see another single notice out to code-yellow. But what I get (on the Extended display) is this: Current Status: CRITICAL Status Information: CRITICAL - File age 10h 48m Current Attempt: 3/3 State Type: HARD Last Check Type: ACTIVE Last Check Time: 12-06-2004 14:51:52 Status Data Age: 0d 0h 1m 12s Next Scheduled Active Check: 12-06-2004 14:53:52 Latency: < 1 second Check Duration: < 1 second Last State Change: 12-06-2004 13:14:23 Current State Duration: 0d 1h 38m 41s Last Service Notification: 12-06-2004 13:14:23 Current Notification Number: 1 Is This Service Flapping? N/A Percent State Change: N/A In Scheduled Downtime? NO Last Update: 12-06-2004 14:53:03 It's an hour and a half past the last change in state, there's been no notices and the current notification number is still listed as "1" -- I'm assuming current notification is the number of notifications that have been sent, which agrees with observation since there have been no escalations. Do I have an inappropriate use of the zero notification interval? Is there something else gone wrong with my configuration? I know that notifications do work because we have some services where the alerts are sent and no obvious difference between their definitions. Also, I'm still attempting to duplicate the result in a test case, but we had our notifications intervals set to 60, intending only one message per hour to be sent while the service check interval was only 5 minutes, but again, instead of an alert after 30 minutes, we received the first alert after more than 300 minutes. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy ============================== www.teledyn.com - blog.teledyn.com - irish.teledyn.com - sbp.teledyn.com ====================== The present moment is a powerful goddess (Goethe) --__--__-- Message: 19 Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 15:15:37 -0500 From: "Daniel maher" To: Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios perf data output This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C4DBD0.59B42D1F Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello all, =20 I'm trying to get nagiosgraph working, and it would appear that nagios = is supplying unexpected perf data output.

Running df shows the following dev entries Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 68974336 3663072 65311264 6% / tmpfs 647660 8 647652 1% /dev/shm /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 98747 6571 87077 8% /boot But running Nagios from another machine (192.168.101.14) and trying to read the drive/mnt status on the SuSE server (192.168.101.12) does not return any values? Is the check_disk plugin only for a local drive? If so, is there another plugin to monitor non-local drives on another server? ----------------------------------------------------------- Johnny Stork Information & Technology Manager Provincial Blood Coordinating Office --__--__-- Message: 22 To: Jan Scholten Cc: nagios Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications not reaching me From: Gary Lawrence Murphy Organization: free software is good for children and other living things Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2004 16:12:32 -0500 Reply-To: Gary Lawrence Murphy >>>>> "J" == Jan Scholten writes: J> I never used escalations, but don't you think you should J> register the service OR give us the correct service definition J> (not the template)? I'm not at all sure I understand your question ... define service { use net-service host_name f1 service_description Log Output contact_groups audit-trail ... check_command check_nrpe!check_log } isn't this the service description? This is what I edit when I want to register services and I definately see the check_log script being called in the NRPE lines of the (Linux) kernel logs. True, _net-service_ is a template, but I had taken the relevent lines from /that/ template and inserted them in-line into this service definition so the specification would be complete. net-service merely extends the default template with shorter polling values. Now I'm /really/ confused: if the above is not defining or registering my service, then how could this service appear on the service detail and extended information pages with these settings? -- Gary Lawrence Murphy ============================== www.teledyn.com - blog.teledyn.com - irish.teledyn.com - sbp.teledyn.com ====================== The present moment is a powerful goddess (Goethe) --__--__-- Message: 23 To: Jan Scholten Cc: nagios Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications not reaching me From: Gary Lawrence Murphy Organization: free software is good for children and other living things Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2004 16:14:39 -0500 Reply-To: Gary Lawrence Murphy Ah ...

I'm surprised you get any at all for A> your escalations where first_notification is higher than 1. Probably because that value was overridden and thanks This use of notification_interval=0 was ambiguous in my reading of the docs: I'd thought it would limit /notification/ to once _per_ _rule_, such that there'd be one notice at the early-warning level, one at the alarm threshold (I then had hourly once it escalated to SMS) -- I didn't consider that it would also limit the retry-tests and escalation. So does this also mean that if the retry check-interval is 5 min but the notification interval is 60, and the escalation is set to the 3rd notification, that the notice will not escalate until the third hour? (rather than 15 min) Thanks -- this clears up a lot. I had understood notification_interval as only a throttle on the number of notification messages as in "will not send email/SMS any more frequent than notification_interval minutes, but will continue to check for status change every retry_check_interval minutes." It just seemed logical to me that we'd want to continue to poll the service at the prescribed rate for retry tests but not send emails every 2 minutes. So, then, is this correct? ... 1) if the service check fails, nagios will check on retry_check_interval until it tests good or fails max_check 2) after all max_check tests _fail_ nagios will throw one notice, then pause notification_interval before it checks again 3) if it still fails, the notification count is increased and it waits notification_intervals between checks until the service comes back up. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy ============================== www.teledyn.com - blog.teledyn.com - irish.teledyn.com - sbp.teledyn.com ====================== The present moment is a powerful goddess (Goethe) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Host checks are executed serially, so they don't have the retry_check_interval. This is done to prevent false alerts. On many (all?) services available in a network it's a good idea to do things this way, since most (all?) networks are susceptible to temporary failure which corrects itself before it can actually affect production to any greater degree (packet loss due to high load while backups are running, for instance). If you have a couple of services that are so critical that you immediately want notifications for them, I suggest you set max_check_attempts to 1 for them and then get ready to delete a lot of false positives. > -merci beaucoup > > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of > nagios-users-request at lists.sourceforge.net > Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 6:39 AM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Nagios-users digest, Vol 1 #2363 - 26 msgs > > > Send Nagios-users mailing list submissions to > nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > nagios-users-request at lists.sourceforge.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than > "Re: Contents of Nagios-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Notifications are suppressed during that time, since it doesn't make much sense to just re-send that same notification. I believe this is done differently in Nagios 2 (if it isn't, it should be), where notifications are re-sent no matter when the service was last checked. I might be wrong about that last one.

The parameteres in services.cfg that you referenced max_check_attempts normal_check_interval retry_check_interval notification_interval Seem not to decrease the 5 min wait for an email notification. Currently my max normal & retry are set to 3,5,& 1; although I have tested other settings with results that differ minimally. The notification interval is set at 120 on some services & 100 on others, less than 3 digits Seems to cause errors. Differences between 120 & 100 are not noticeable; thus my inquiry.

How do you measure the time, when the service goes down, or when Nagios puts the service into a HARD CRITICAL state? That's a lot of questions and I'm afraid, noone can answer your questions until you provide more information. > Seem not to decrease the 5 min wait for an email notification. > Currently my max normal & retry are set to 3,5,& 1; although I have tested > other settings with results that differ minimally.

Kindly share your settings, and take some deep breathes. ; / notification_interval has nothing to do with delay of the first notification. It indicates how long Nagios will wait until sending out the _next_ standard notification. sash -------------------------------------------------- Sascha Runschke Netzwerk Administration IT-Services ABIT AG Robert-Bosch-Str. 1 40668 Meerbusch Tel.:+49 (0) 2150.9153.226 mailto:SRunschke at abit.de http://www.abit.net http://www.abit-epos.net http://www.my-academy.net -------------------------------------------------- Der Inhalt dieser Email sowie die Anh?nge sind ausschlie?lich f?r den bezeichneten Adressaten bestimmt.

Running as the root user is known to cause some obscure security risks where privilege separation isn't in place (although it seems like a fairly crude workaround for a program like qmail). Postfix does privilege separation and doesn't trust the contents of its own mailqueues, so it should work when run as root on that system. > > I've already download the lastest version of these plugins > (nagios-plugins-1.4.0alpha2). > > Thanks for help > > > > Davide De Boni > IT Architect > > Email: davide.deboni at alchera.it > > Alchera Solutions S.p.A. > C.so Risorgimento 5 > 28823 Ghiffa (VB) > ITALIA > Tel +39.0323.407733 > Fax +39.0323.53558 > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.

Been running Nagios 1.2 a while now and everything has worked just fine for months. Nagios itself still runs and will no doubt fire off alerts if and when a problem occurs. However...

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've checked and the settings in Apache (in httpd.conf) are intact - the htpasswd.users file in the Nagios etc directory is there and intact - the .htaccess files in the http-file directory and the sbin cgi directory are intact and contain the proper info, namely: AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users require valid-user - files are owned by nagios:nagios and have rwx permissions for the nagios user and r-x for all others (at the moment). - cgi.cfg has: use_authentication=1 I temporarily put a * at the end of all the "authorized_for_*" directives just in case, no effect. I'm stumped. I have no idea where else to look at this point. If anyone has any ideas, no matter how farfetched, please chime in.

I did make a very minor alteration in the config file where I keep the info for the Solaris machines... and I mean very minor, changed a description for one machine. I find it difficult to believe I managed to foul that up somehow but will of course re-check. I did, of course, do the -v run before posting to the mailgroup to make sure Nagios wasn't choking on the config files and that went well, but I guess I'd better take a more thorough look at that config file just to make sure. I do see "logged in as kimmoj" in Nagios, and Nagios does demand that I log in and use a name/password combo that's valid. Thanks, I'll re-check the config file and see if I can find the problem. /Kimmo ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

This error is also caused by misconfigurations or typographical errors in your config files. Have you run /path/to/nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg to verify your configuration files. If that returns no errors, verify that nagios is actually picking up the username properly.

I made sure that both the NSCA client on the remote machine has been compiled with libmcrypt as well as the NSCA daemon on the host machine. When I analyze the traffic occuring between the two, it seems as if a session is not being established possibly due to a handshaking problem. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix NSCA?

Whenever I try to telnet to the port, I can connect to it. So, it is a pretty good chance that my firewall is allowing TCP over 5667 to connect. I turned on debugging, and tried to use the remote client to send to NSCA daemon, however nothing shows up in syslog. What's interesting is that if I try to use the client on the same machine that the NSCA daemon is running, and I connect to localhost 5667 syslog returns a messaging saying that it is Deactivating the NSCA due to excessive incoming connections -restarting in 30 seconds.

If you've got a lot of passive checks reporting in you might want to either run nsca as a standalone daemon or increase the number of allowed connections within any specified time. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I don't have alot of passive checking atm. I have upped the # of cps within the nsca file for xinetd and that seems to resolve the deactivation of connections. However, I don't see the NSCA daemon responding to any inputs from nsca clients with debugging turned on. I am investigating whether or not it is a firewall issue, but I find this unlikely.

The problem is that we/I don't have a linux box behind every firewall. The firewalls are usually checkpoint boxes and not in my responsibility. For some hosts we want to check, I have to traverse networks where I can't even ping a switch or router. I'll have to live with some "black holes" where I just can monitor the host/server in the other network.

That would equate to at minimum 2 minutes before notification. As Jan has mentioned, your mail system may be slow, but you can check the notification time in your nagios logs. If you need this to notify after 1 minute, you will have to set this up to max_check_attempts=2. As for the notification_interval, I have several set to shorter times, like 60 minutes and all are working well. I have even tested this with as little as 2 minutes and all still works. Sometimes notification takes some time, depending on the load of the system doing the notification. All timing is pretty consistent for the most part. Your problem may be related to the message of duplicate content as I have seen in the past with other systems. You can put the $DATETIME$ macro into the script that is essentially putting a serial number into the message. It also tells you how long the message takes to deliver. This may actually be a test for your earlier question. I have been using Nagios for about 2 months now and all this information is in the manual. Take some time and go through it. I have had to read it several times and each time get some more information. Don't assume that the information is all in one place though. I have found several topics that are in 3 to 4 places in the manual with different information, some are more complete than others.

The parameteres in services.cfg that you referenced max_check_attempts normal_check_interval retry_check_interval notification_interval Seem not to decrease the 5 min wait for an email notification. Currently my max normal & retry are set to 3,5,& 1; although I have tested other settings with results that differ minimally. The notification interval is set at 120 on some services & 100 on others, less than 3 digits Seems to cause errors. Differences between 120 & 100 are not noticeable; thus my inquiry.

Check max_check_attempts normal_check_interval retry_check_interval notification_interval in services.cfg check time_units in nagios.cfg read the fu**** manual. If your mails notification is triggered (check logs) but you receive the mails too late check the mail-server queues, load on mailserver, your mailclient.

There was reference to one in the event handler documentation called restart-httpd which is listed in the documentation and shown, but it's not in the directory as installed. That leads me to believe that maybe there are several examples in a particular package? I looked in the cvs code and didn't see any addition event handler scripts. I'm rather new to scripting and was looking towards the functionality without actually having to write each individual script. Thanks.

By the first look of it, it seems like you don't have the shared mysql libraries installed in a path where your dso-symbol-resolver (that's ld for most unices) expects to find them but I'd need to know more before getting definitive. > I am about to jump off the roof with this one, and I am franticly in > need of some help.

I think I have narrowed it down to having a Nagios configuration file open for editing, while nagios is running. ie. We have a hosts_novell_prod.cfg file, which details the host configurations of our Netware boxes. If I open this file for editing and get distracted, in a few minutes the Nagios web page kicks me out with the same error you described. HTH, Ryan. >>> Kimmo Jaskari 12/07/04 11:26pm >>> This will be lengthy, but I thought I'd better include as much info as possible. Been running Nagios 1.2 a while now and everything has worked just fine for months. Nagios itself still runs and will no doubt fire off alerts if and when a problem occurs. However... Suddenly I find that the CGI's refuse to run, giving me the following error in the web interface: "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the services 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've checked and the settings in Apache (in httpd.conf) are intact - the htpasswd.users file in the Nagios etc directory is there and intact - the .htaccess files in the http-file directory and the sbin cgi directory are intact and contain the proper info, namely: AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users require valid-user - files are owned by nagios:nagios and have rwx permissions for the nagios user and r-x for all others (at the moment). - cgi.cfg has: use_authentication=1 I temporarily put a * at the end of all the "authorized_for_*" directives just in case, no effect. I'm stumped. I have no idea where else to look at this point. If anyone has any ideas, no matter how farfetched, please chime in.

IMHO scripting is essential for working on UNIX/LINUX. Even at the newest Windows generation you have nearly full scripting support. MS got the point, that you can't do everything via GUI. Perhaps this could be a s starting point point for you.

If you want an alert EVERY time an interface goes up/down, you'll need to configure the device to send an SNMP trap to a host. Otherwise, you can poll it at whatever interval you feel is suitable, but you won't see if an interface drops out and comes back inside that interval (or comes up and drops out again). If you go the polling route, you'll need to make a wrapper to remember the status of the interfaces during the last poll, and compare it to the current poll. If they've changed, return an alert status. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

All works fine once I fixed the startup script, but now I can't manage to find how to use my own images instead of the big '?' in statusmap. I've tried by defining : hostextinfo[somehostname] = ... in cgi.cfg, but with no luck then I've used : xedtemplate_config_file=hostextinfo.cfg and I've filled hostextinfo.cfg with the new syntax, with no luck then I've defined access to the PostgreSQL database to retrieve hostextinfo, and I've added some lines into the hostextinfo table, again with no luck. statusmap.cgi is linked with libpq (PostgreSQL) so I thought it would use the database, it doesn't. how can I diagnose what is wrong ? I don't see any error in Apache's error_log file. is there a way to have statusmap.cgi tell me what it does ? (debug mode ?) interestingly the nagios logo and the big '?' logo are correctly displayed in the statusmap. any idea ? thanks in advance Jerome Alet ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

It only breaks the web interface, not the monitoring and alerting bit. I removed that particular config file entirely and tried running Nagios with only the files containing Windows servers and other miscellany and lo and behold, the web interface worked fine and CGI's displayed data as per usual. I've checked and rechecked the file visually and can't find anything that stands out. It passes the "-v test" without any problems, monitoring works but the web interface is not working. Does anyone know or suspect what type of problem in a config file might cause the CGI's to barf while Nagios itself cheerfully accepts it and runs? /Kimmo ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Dezember 2004 10:14 An: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: [Nagios-users] problem with hostextinfo Hi, I'm using Nagios 1.3.0+pre4 from Debian with the PostgreSQL database. All works fine once I fixed the startup script, but now I can't manage to find how to use my own images instead of the big '?' in statusmap. I've tried by defining : hostextinfo[somehostname] = ... in cgi.cfg, but with no luck then I've used : xedtemplate_config_file=hostextinfo.cfg and I've filled hostextinfo.cfg with the new syntax, with no luck then I've defined access to the PostgreSQL database to retrieve hostextinfo, and I've added some lines into the hostextinfo table, again with no luck. statusmap.cgi is linked with libpq (PostgreSQL) so I thought it would use the database, it doesn't. how can I diagnose what is wrong ? I don't see any error in Apache's error_log file. is there a way to have statusmap.cgi tell me what it does ? (debug mode ?) interestingly the nagios logo and the big '?' logo are correctly displayed in the statusmap. any idea ? thanks in advance Jerome Alet ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

The problem is that I use the Debian standard packages, not a version I've compiled myself. But since I've tried the three different ways (that I know of) to specify hostextinfo, I hoped at least one of them would work. I've told PostgreSQL to trace SQL queries, and no query on the hostextinfo or serviceextinfo tables is done... Is this possible that the packager entirely disabled by mistake even a minimal support for extended info ? thanks in advance Jerome Alet ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Message-ID: <200412081554.iB8FsWU32114@ginseng.hep.wisc.edu> What's the interval for host check retrys? There doesn't seem to be any retry_check_interval option for host objects. The doc for scheduling host checks simply reads "nagios will keep pounding out checks of the host" without mentioning the interval. And then there's this potentially omnious note... Also of note - when Nagios is check the status of a host, it holds off on doing anything else (executing new service checks, processing other service check results, etc). This can slow things down a bit and cause pending service checks to be delayed for a while, but it is necessary to determine the status of the host before Nagios can take any further action on the service(s) that are having problems. ...does "check the status of a host" mean "check the status of a host N (max_check_attempts) times"?? ...or does it mean "check that status of a host once"? In other words, does nagios balk determining SOFT DOWNs, or does it balk determining HARD DOWNs? Here's the context of these questions... We're monitoring flakey services and hosts (which we don't administer.) We have cut down on excessive WARNING/CRITICAL ("spam") notifications by setting max_check_attempts to 5 and retry_check_interval to 24 (eg only notify about WARNING/CRITICAL after two hours.) How do we do that for DOWN notifications? steve - - - systems & network guy high energy physics university of wisconsin ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I recently re-installed nagios on a new (old) machine and am having a very difficult time getting nagios to recognize the nagios process. I have consulted the documentation and used my poor googling skills as well. Here is the setup: Red Hat 7.1 nagios is installed on /data/htdocs/internal/systems/nagios (nfs mounted) Here is the output of ps on the machine running nagios (all one line): "nagios 25230 0.0 0.1 2168 1216 ? S 10:25 0:00 /data/htdocs/internal/systems/nagios/bin/nagios -d /data/htdocs/internal/systems/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg" I have tried matching the output of ps to the nagios_check_command in cgi.cfg every which way but no matter how I configure it it can not seem to find the process. I have also tried running check_nagios by hand every conceivable way with no luck as well. Feeling frustrated, what am I doing wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some examples from ../nagios/var/nagios.log: [1102540194] SERVICE ALERT: SHDFS;Ping;WARNING;SOFT;1;PING WARNING - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 282.59 ms [1102540254] SERVICE ALERT: SHDFS;Ping;OK;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 99.84 ms (((( No Notifications )))) [1102512685] HOST ALERT: HNBDep2;DOWN;HARD;3;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds [1102512685] HOST NOTIFICATION: Gene;HNBDep2;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds [1102512945] HOST ALERT: HNBDep2;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.39 ms [1102512945] HOST NOTIFICATION: Gene;HNBDep2;UP;host-notify-by-email;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.39 ms (((( Notification Logged and Received in my Inbox)))) The /var/log/maillog file does not have any entries at the time of the Service Alert, but does have the Host Alert entry.

Moderators, you can just ignore it. I do not know if we have a particularly large setup of Nagios, but I believe I am starting to see effects of possibly having too many hosts and service checks. The next-check events seems to lag behind more and more, and entering into pages like "Status Summary" is very slow. (although, user responsiveness is not really so important to me as the monitoring is.) Re-submitting a check immediately can take 4-5 minutes before it takes effect. Anyway, details are: * Supermicro 6013, dual 2.4ghz, Solaris 9, 1G memory. Load Avg generally between 2 and 3. (graph shows to be closer to 2, than 3, no spikes). Which seem ideal on a dual system. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Statistics: * Hosts * 46 Down 0 Unreachable 522 Up 2 Pending * Services * 62 Critical 26 Warning 1 Unknown 3370 Ok 0 Pending I changed it from testing services every 5 minutes to 10 minutes yesterday in an attempt to quiet things down. I would rather have it be every 5 minutes, but if that is too frequently, then it is how it will be. Currently we only use Active checks, no Passive at all. At a guess, check_nrpe is the most used command, there are some perl checks, but should not be a majority. (on the local monitor machine I mean). Perhaps I should grep out the execution history to see which would be executed the most. I have been reading the optimise documentation, and it seems we are already doing some (maybe even most) of the items suggested. I have the --emabedded-perl option to try if there is not anything obviously wrong with our setup. There are still some devices to be added, in particular, the network devices are still not present. There have started being gaps in the graphs which could be due to checks being delayed? Or that is something unrelated.. I restarted it entirely today, just to clean things out, making sure it isn't running twice etc. How bad does it look?

It is broken, but not so much that its annoying. If a new host comes in (ie doesn't exist in the hash), the passive service check result will be rejected by Nag, and sooner or later, I will notice it and deal with it. Basically, I expect only traps or messages from hosts I am aware of and configure Nagios and SEC accordingly (this is at least part reasonable since I configure routers and influence config of switches). The same is true of the basic Nag distributed mon set-up: its necessary to configure the central site Nag with the services and hosts that it expects to receive passives from (all this is true of Nag 1.x only; don't know about 2.0) > Thanks, > Brian > These questions are good; they prob should go to either lists, so you can get these opinions moderated/tempered/flamed.

What this proxy will allow you to do is monitor such things as CPU load, Free Memory, and disk space with zero footprint on the monitored server. It does require a single application loaded on a single windows machine (Xp,2000, 2003) to proxy the commands through. The difference between this and other proxies, this one is built on VB6 (not on .NET), and requires no additional services running on the proxy machine (no more needing IIS). The proxy is written such that (eventually) any WMI accessible object can be reported back to Nagios. Is this something that you folks would see as useful? Of course, the source code is available under a GPL license. Ron Gage - IT Support Team (IBM) Handleman Corp.

Of course, now we're paranoid that Nagios, e-mail or the Blackberry Exchange Server (to forward e-mail to our Blackberries) may not be working when we don't receive alerts for that long so I want to setup a "heartbeat" every 2 hours to make sure our communication chain is in operation. I know I can setup a check that will result in a Critical status which will send a Critical alert. I was looking for a more graceful way. I would like to run check_nagios and be able to send its output via e-mail whether the status is OK, warning, critical or unreachable, but even check_dummy 0 would be fine. How can I do this?

Well, after done that I thought my hosts will be checked as well (check-host-alive) and I don't need to add a service to the host to check the network connectivity. To test this, I changed the host_address of the host to a nonexistent (not pingable) address, and waited for the host to turn 'red'. It didn't. I thought, okay, lets rtfm, and voila, in the docs I found the following: --------------------------------------- It is important to point out that several directives in host and service definitions may not be picked up by Nagios when you change them. Host and service directives that can exhibit this behavior are marked with an asterisk (*). The reason for this behavior is due to the fact that Nagios chooses to honor values stored in the state retention file over values found in the config files, assuming you have state retention enabled on a program-wide basis. -------------------------------------- OK, checks_enabled was overruled by the settings in retention, it seems so. Well, since I store that information in a mysql db, i checked the values: mysql> select host_name,checks_enabled from hostretention ; +------------------------------+----------------+ | host_name | checks_enabled | +------------------------------+----------------+ | atsrvlx03.utalan.at | 1 | | c65wat4-vlan16.net.utalan.at | 0 | +------------------------------+----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select host_name,checks_enabled from hoststatus; +------------------------------+----------------+ | host_name | checks_enabled | +------------------------------+----------------+ | atsrvlx03.utalan.at | 1 | | c65wat4-vlan16.net.utalan.at | 0 | +------------------------------+----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> Hm. This means, checks _are_ (were) enabled. Though I was given the status 'Host assumed to be up', checks are enabled, but the host didn't turn 'red' though i explicitly gave it a nonexistent/wrong IP in the hosts.cfg as host_address. Well that is my first question: I. What did I do wrong with this? Feel free to ask for more information, if thats not enough. The other curious thing, is that as you see, in the DB i had in both tables checks_enabled set on 1, but the Web-interface told me that they are set to 'No': http://web.utanet.at/charlie/nagios_checks_enabled.png Thats the second question: II. Do I mix things up, or is this inconsistent? And here comes my third one: As I added one service (a simple check_http) to the host in the services.cfg, and Nagios checked the service, at once both the service and the host turned red. Thats the third question: III. Do I need to add services to every host to be checked, or I again miss something? any help is appreciated. extra infos: atsrvlx02-new:/etc/nagios# uname -a Linux atsrvlx02-new 2.6.9-rc3 #1 SMP Fri Oct 1 14:40:04 CEST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux atsrvlx02-new:/etc/nagios# I have the following mysql and nagios related packages installed: ii libdbd-mysql-p 2.9003-3 A Perl5 database interface to the MySQL data ii libmysqlclient 3.23.56-2 LGPL-licensed client library for MySQL datab ii libmysqlclient 3.23.56-2 LGPL-licensed client development files for M ii libmysqlclient 4.0.21-7 mysql database client library ii mysql-admin 1.0.12-1 GUI tool for intuitive MySQL administration ii mysql-admin-co 1.0.12-1 Architecture independent files for MySQL Adm ii mysql-client 4.0.21-7 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 4.0.21-6 mysql database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql ii mysql-doc 4.0.21-2 mysql database documentation ii mysql-server 4.0.21-7 mysql database server binaries ii nagios-common 1.3-0+pre4 A host/service/network monitoring and manage ii nagios-mysql 1.3-0+pre4 A host/service/network monitoring and manage ii nagios-plugins 1.3.1.0-12 Plugins for the nagios network monitoring an tia, and sorry for the rather lengthy mail. charlie -- - Because it messes up the order in which you normally read text. - Why is top-posting such a bad idea? - Top-posting. - What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

The "standard" plugins are distributed seperate from nagios itself. Therefore, the host you're monitoring only needs to have nagios-plugins installed, then you can setup nagios to use check_by_ssh to check the host. There's no need to have nagios itself installed on more than one box. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Go easy on it as I am on cable modem. To get the check_np.c to compile, drop it into the plugins directory for nagios-plugins and copy the makefile entries for check_nt. Same for the .tpo directory entry. In fact, the code is strongly based on check_nt.c The nagios_plugin.zip has both the source code as well as the executable. The executable runs as a tray icon so look there when you run it. I am very open to changes to either of these pieces. Would be great if I can get check_np.c into the nagios plugins project some time too. Right now, only the check_drive, check_cpu and check_memory functions are implemented. I hope to get the rest of the functions implemented sometime soon. I have it working here monitoring a couple domain controllers (Win2k) with no footprint on the domain controllers.

Here, we do this by using: 1) pNSclient 2.0.1 agent on the server monitors the windows service 2) Nagios has event handler calling a short shellscript that calls check_nrpe 3) NRPE_nt agent on server catches nrpe request and runs restart script 4) service restarts! The restart script is something very simple -- just 'net start %1%' -- and the shellscript at (2) parses the Service Description to obtain the servicename which is passed to check_nrpe as a parameter. It means having 2 agents on the server (pnsclient, nrpe_nt) though -- actually 3, since we also have the eventlog-nsca daemon running. They're fairly small footprints, though. We're using it here in pre-production, working fine.

To make it work, check_tcp should be symlinked to the appropriate command. In addition to accepting arbitrary ports/strings, it can be called as: check_imap check_simap check_pop check_spop check_smtp check_ftp check_nntp check_udp ...and will do the Right Thing with regard to your command.

Using the mib's I can get the useful string "The system's global status is normal. " However, getting that to match with the check_snmp plugin is driving me crazy! And searching the mailing list/google didn't seem to help. Using snmpget I see that value returned: 688 /usr/local/nagios/etc % /usr/bin/snmpget -v 1 -c public fas0:161 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.2.25.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.789.1.2.2.25.0 = STRING: "The system's global status is normal. " I thought that matching that string wouldn't be too hard (yeah, right!) I've tried escaping the single quote: 686 /usr/local/nagios/etc % /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -m /usr/share/snmp/mibs/netapp.mib.txt -H fas0 -s="The system\'s global status is normal. " -o NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::miscGlobalStatusMessage.0 SNMP CRITICAL - *"The system's global status is normal. "* I've tried quoting the quotes: 691 /usr/local/nagios/etc % /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -m /usr/share/snmp/mibs/netapp.mib.txt -H fas0 -s=""The system's global status is normal. "" -o NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::miscGlobalStatusMessage.0 Unmatched '. So I tried both: 692 /usr/local/nagios/etc % /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -m /usr/share/snmp/mibs/netapp.mib.txt -H fas0 -s=""The system\'s global status is normal. "" -o NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::miscGlobalStatusMessage.0 SNMP CRITICAL - *"The system's global status is normal. "* I've tried single quotes outside the doubles, escaping various quotes...Without going on for a few dozen more pages, I think I've tried all the combinations. (but must have missed the critical one ) Does someone have some more experience with check_snmp using strings? or some help with regular-expression matching with this string?

Anyway, thanks for the reply. One part of the issue does indeed stem from adding some ~150 hosts the day before, and that I can not ping (yet). If I am close to the maximum limit my hardware can handle, then so be it, we will get another box, but it is hard to know how much it should be able to handle. The documentation naturally avoids mentioning numbers by sticking to "medium" and "large" setups. The gaps in graphs were related to the slowdown, the rrd heatbeat was set to 600, and it took 15min->20min for Nagios to re-check items (with an interval set to 5 mins - which isn't so good) Is there a way to grep out the duration of check commands, so I can sort out which are worth optimising? It seems that I should change some of the heavier (mailq/maillog) checks to passive perhaps, as they can take 2-3 minutes to complete. Is Nagios 2.0 worth trying? Complicated to upgrade?

Wrote a small batch script on my problematic server to restart the service, which i then added to the nrpe\bin\nrpe.cfg. Configured up the port, server address and allowed_hosts. command[check_cfcycle]=c:\nrpe\bin\cfcycle.bat Then defined the command in checkcommands.cfg on the nagios server: define command{ command_name check_cfcycle command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_cfcycle } and added the event_handler to the services.cfg: define service{ use generic-service host_name box.example.com service_description HTTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 2 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups Admins notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_http event_handler check_cfcycle } Et voila, all worked. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/eventhandlers.html Thanks again Richard On Fri, 10 Dec 2004 09:33:53 +1300, Steve Shipway wrote: > > I would like to - on an alert, to have nagios execute a script on a > > remote win32 machine to restart a problematic service. > > Here, we do this by using: > 1) pNSclient 2.0.1 agent on the server monitors the windows service > 2) Nagios has event handler calling a short shellscript that calls > check_nrpe > 3) NRPE_nt agent on server catches nrpe request and runs restart script > 4) service restarts! > > The restart script is something very simple -- just 'net start %1%' -- and > the shellscript at (2) parses the Service Description to obtain the > servicename which is passed to check_nrpe as a parameter. > > It means having 2 agents on the server (pnsclient, nrpe_nt) though -- > actually 3, since we also have the eventlog-nsca daemon running.

I wrote a small plugin for checking interface status by snmp. The main advantage , and the reason for what i wrote it, is that with this plugin u can specify directly the interface name (ethX on Linux, FastEthernet0/0 on Cisco IOS .... ecc ...). It is written in python so requirements are: On Nagios Monitor: Python interpreter > 2.2 Optik python libs = 1.4 net-snmp packet installed On Monitored Host snmpd daemon running. usage is very simple: in checkcommands.cfg specify : define command{ command_name check_snmp_iface command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_iface -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -i $ARG2$ } Options are as usual "-H" is the ip address of target host, "-C" is community , "-i" is interface name. script is attached.

I've looked over your configs and I think your hardware should be able to handle this load with a bit of tuning. I have a similar setup, although I am using Distrubuted monitoring which helps cut down on the load significantly. One thing to reduce is your max check attempts for service checks. This will speed up your state changes. I would set it to 5 instead of 10. Also, try setting yoru check_host commands to check_dummy. This will fix the problem the other responder mentioned with a bunch of down hosts. You mentioned that the check_mailq commands seem to be slow. You could pinpoint which checks are taking a long time by reducing the plugin timeout. Then, eliminate those plugins that are at the outer boundary and then reset the timeout value. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demetri Mouratis dmourati at linfactory.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I settled on 1.0b4 because everything has worked stupendously since then. However, my ability to generate graphs disappeared when I upgraded from RH8.0 to RH9.0 a couple months ago. I've downloaded the tarballs for every version between 1.0b4 up to 1.2 and still can't get it to compile nicely. I get the infamous missing gd libraries errors. It won't even compile auth.c, cgiutils.c, edata.c, getcgi.c, histogram.c lifo.c, popen.c, statusmap.c, or trends.c. I checked my old 1.0b4 trends.cgi (which used to work): www:cgi# ldd /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/trends.cgi libgd.so.1.8 => /usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8 (0x4001d000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4004f000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x4005d000) libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x4007f000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x400a1000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x400bf000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x40111000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) All other cgi's return favorable results as well. /usr/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf and ldconfig runs fine. My configure script is: ./configure --prefix=/etc/nagios --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib \ --with-gd-inc=/usr/include --with-jpeg-lib=/usr/lib \ --with-jpeg-inc=/usr/include --with-png-lib=/usr/lib \ --with-png-inc=/usr/include The only thing that has caught my eye is: libgd.so.1.8 => /usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8 (0x4001d000) That library is from gdbm-devel-1.8.0-20. Should it be using libgd.so.1.3 instead? -Scott ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

You'd have to set up two services with mutually exclusive time periods to do that. -JM -- Ok, I pulled the pin. Now what? Where are you going?

Since the threshold check is done by the plugin, rather than by Nagios itself, you *could* write a plugin capable of this. Pass it a time period and two sets of thresholds... however it wold of course require writing a modified plugin (or a wrapper for existing plugins?) Something like: wrapper -p "check_thingy -H $HOSTNAME$ -c %CRITICAL% -w %WARN%" -t 1800-0800,12,5 -t 0800-1800,50,10 Anyone else feel like writing this? I already have wrappers that changes return status (one to negate, one to make crit->warn, etc etc). I'll post something here if I every get around to makin it generally useful.

I'd like to have two (possibly three) Nagios servers on separate hosts (which are also geographically separated) and have them monitor the servers. I'm trying to get Nagios to send an alert only if both hosts concur that there is a fault, OR if one of the two Nagios servers have gone down. Is this possible with Nagios? I'm quite new to Nagios, so any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I see no reason why people wouldn't have written alternate web interfaces, since the way it communicates with the Nagios daemon is pretty straightfoward (just the command-pipe and the status.log file, right?). I've been meaning to port the web interface to Perl, just as a fun exercise (for me, it would be easier to expand and modify if it was in Perl), but it hasn't exactly been high on my list of priorities. Plus I would have to maintain the Perl equivalents of the C header files, in-parallel, and I don't relish that thought. But for all I know, this path may have already been trodden.

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

So the names you are looking for are the host names you defined for each object within your hosts.cfg, not the real internet names. So yes, it is ANOTHER host within the hosts.cfg file, not the hosts.conf file. It should really look like this PARENTS cisco-router pix-firewall etc. Good luck. nagios at mattmartin.co.uk wrote: >Mark, > >Thank you for your swift reply - thought it was being sarcastic at first ;) > >Just to confirm the hostname specified, do that have to be ANOTHER host in >the hosts.conf file?

Just make shure, that both or all of your commands are included in nagios.cfg. > What is the best practice? Check_* commands in > checkcommands.cfg and notify-by-* commands in command.cfg? I would recommend to split them up even further and use seperated file for all kinds of need. We have here: - check_nsclient.cfg - check_ssh.cfg - check_network.cfg - check_http.cfg - notifications.cfg and so on and put them all in a subdirectory called "commands". > And if there are 2 different check commands with the same name, > one in checkcommands.cfg, the other one in command.cfg, which > one is going to be used by nagios if referenced in services.cfg? None, because you will get an error message, when you restart Nagios or test the configs.

You'd have to write a plugin for that. It should be fairily simple, something like: #!/bin/sh FILES=`ls -l /some/dir/*.files|wc -l` if [ $FILES -gt 0 ]; then echo "Error files found!" exit 2 else echo "No error files found" exit 0 fi Of course you'd probably want to spruce that up to use command-line arguments instead of hardcoded values, but you get the idea.

In the Developer Guidlines for nagios, it's only said, that you should keep the text as short as possible, though it will be cut otherwise. Where is the limit? 255 Chars? Ok, so in my case the Output on STDOUT looks somethink like this, when I execute it directly from the console: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H Host1 -l user1 -C "/usr/sap/trans/sap2tm1/check_sap2tm1.sh R11" Export_Protokolle 2 Package nicht erfolgreich - 2004-12-13 18:31:00 Import_Auftr?ge 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZVBAK - 2004-12-09 16:53:00 Import_Fakturavorrat 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZVPDFS -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei VKDFS - 2004-12-13 11:30:00 Import_Fakturen 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei VBRP -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei VBRK - 2004-12-13 12:01:00 Import_Kennzeichen 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBRNT -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBRN - 2004-12-13 14:10:00 Import_Kennzeichenstruktur 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBSPH - 2004-12-13 14:10:00 Import_Kundenstamm 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei KNVP -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei KNA1 -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei KNVV - 2004-12-13 15:10:00 Import_Materialstamm 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei MAKT -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei MARA - 2004-12-13 15:50:00 Import_Produktfamilie 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBTR -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBTRT - 2004-12-13 16:38:00 Import_Rel_Mat_zu_KennZ 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBPH - 2004-12-13 16:59:00 Import_SBS_B 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBSBB -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBSBBT - 2004-12-13 17:40:00 Import_SBS_C 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBSBT -- Fehler bei Einlesen der Quelldatei ZOBSB - 2004-12-13 17:49:00 Import_Texte 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler bei Quelldatei T016T -- Fehler bei Quelldatei T151T -- Fehler bei Quelldatei TBRCT -- Fehler bei Quelldatei TKUKT -- Fehler bei Quelldatei TVKBT -- Fehler bei Quelldatei TVFST -- Fehler bei Quelldatei TVLST - 2004-12-13 18:07:00 Initialisierung_SAP_Import 2 Package nicht erfolgreich -- Fehler beim Kopieren der SAP-Dateien - 2004-12-13 18:17:00 ZRMSEND_TM 1 ABAP-Prozessor: TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED /Job wurde abgebrochen 2004-11-02 07:48:44 You mustn't understand the Error Message, it's ok for me that way, I just inserted it to give you a idea how long it is. So far so good. When I run an echo $? It returns 2, so it should be displayed as CRITICAL in Nagios, right? Buuut, and here's the MAIN Problem for me: Nagios shows a Status UNKNOWN !!!??? Why is the returncode not interpreted in the right way by nagios?? Thanks in advance!

You are. Read up on network outages and you'll see what parents do for the monitoring logic (and notifications). You will also want to remove the 'u' option for whatever host you don't want double notifications for. Hostdependencies fill very limited role for very obscure networks now adays, although I believe it was previously useful. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I testet it via console with the user under which nagios runs. On the console I always get the right return code (for testing 2) but in nagios it's unknown. What I found during my researches is another strange thing. Sometimes the check gets CRITICAL, but after the normal check interval it tourns to unknown again :-/ BTW, my nagios version is 2.0a1 The check is a plugin executed on a remote check via the check_by_ssh plugin.

Message-ID: Hi list, I got a strange problem with services and multiple escalations affecting them. Nagios sends RECOVERY messages to contactgroups that didn't receive the proper CRITICAL message because they haven't been in the earlier escalations. According to my knowledge Nagios should never ever do that, as it is smart enough to know the contact didn't get the CRITICAL in first place. Did that behaviour change lately or am I just utterly wrong? In case that actually is a problem, I'll start digging up the relevant configs to start looking for the problem. sash -------------------------------------------------- Sascha Runschke Netzwerk Administration IT-Services ABIT AG Robert-Bosch-Str. 1 40668 Meerbusch Tel.:+49 (0) 2150.9153.226 mailto:SRunschke at abit.de http://www.abit.net http://www.abit-epos.net http://www.my-academy.net -------------------------------------------------- Der Inhalt dieser Email sowie die Anh?nge sind ausschlie?lich f?r den bezeichneten Adressaten bestimmt.

I have a pb where I can access all pages except the ones that use the status.cgi. I get the much familiar message: 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. It worked on a previous install, but it was 1.2. Debian testing is now 1.3. The config seems to be the same. Google didn't bring me any answer. Any pointers?

In a RHEL environment you'll most likely want to sooner or later anyways. Google has proven to be an abundant source of information in the past. You might want to try it. Also, there should be a .spec-file included in the nagios dist.

Nagios will wait for the results of the service check up to the service check timeout limit. It will then schedule the next check based on the results of that check. For example, if the check returned OK then nagios will use the normal_check_interval to determine approximately when the next check should be. If it returns any other result then nagios will use the retry_check_interval. > > do i have options to configure Nagios not to wait for a result? No, why would you want to?

Say what version you're using, for starters, and upgrade if you haven't got the latest stable. You should also make sure you don't have several instances of nagios running. killall -9 nagios should most likely get rid of any stray ones. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

It was in the case where we were monitoring the interior gateway of a remote VPN endpoint as well as the exterior IPSec peer address. The parent-based dependency relationship to the exterior address flowed through the Internet path, however, we also wanted to suppress alerts for problems on the interior gateway if the remote Internet link was down, even though the parent relationship of the tunnel flowed through the local concentrator.

Their functionality can be duplicated by using the hostgroup_name directive in hostgroup definitions. Although I must admit, this statement does not make a great deal of sense to me. I guess I'll figure it out when it comes time to upgrade. Garry W.

Bensend" Date: Wed, December 15, 2004 1:05 pm To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey folks, I finally got off my lazy butt, and built a modern set of plugins for HP-UX, instead of the CVS build from 2002. ;) They can be found here: http://www.bennyvision.com/projects/nagios/index.php They include the base number of plugins that are built without additional software installed, and they _should_ work on either PA-RISC 1.1 or PA-RISC 2.0 hosts. I have builds for 10.20 and 11.00. I'll try to get a build done for 11i, but for now, the 11.00 ones should work just fine on 11i. Once 1.4.x is released, I'll build those as well. As always do NOT email any of the Nagios lists regarding these plugins - contact me (nagios at bennyvision.com) directly. The Nagios development team is not responsible for my builds, _I_ am. Please let me know if you run into any problems with them.

You installed NSClient (i guess, because you use check_nt) Please post relevant parts of the checkcommands.cfg and services.cfg. I have a check_disk check like the following, using NSClient on the Windowsbox: define command{ command_name check_nt_disk command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v USEDDISKSPACE -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ } but it does not show the size of the harddisk (pretty boring since it normally doesn't change) but accepts the harddisk and two thresholds. in services i use: check_command check_nt_disk!c!90!95 which checks drive c and warns if more the 90% is full and gives a critical if more than 95% are full. Hope that helps, otherwise please include much more Information.

Even the extra plugins did not have it. We have another RH9 Linux box (setup up by a consultant that is no longer with us) that has check_mssql and is working properly. I copied that file to the RH9 box that I am installing another Nagios install on and when I tried to run it, it gave me errors about DBI. I installed perl-dbi. Then it complained about DBD::Sybase. I tried to install DBD::Sybase but it can't find the Sybase libraries. I don't even know where the original check_mssql plugin came from. I've searched for it and only found check_mssql.sh, which is a different version I believe. If I could download check_mssql with install instructions, I think I can do it. We need check_mssql so we can run stored procedures on our SQL server that checks the health of our internal app. Any suggestions? I consider myself a Linux newbie and I've been doing most of this through WebMin, if that matters. - Rim Rimbert Rivera Manager, Information Technology COMTEX News Network rrivera at comtex.com (703) 820-2000 Discover more about COMTEX at: http://www.comtex.com/ This e-mail is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Message-ID: <41C1C6F4.8070804@sympatico.ca> Hi, First of all let me congratulate all the contributors to 2.0b - this is truly a remarkable piece of work. I would like to submit a potential anomaly I have noticed recently. Every so often, I would see old services/hosts definitions, as well as certain states that seem to be cached somewhere that appear out of thin air, when activating any of the cgi's from the navigation sidebar. For instance, if I change/add a new service to a host, then click on Hosts Details, Service Details, or Tactical Overview a number of times - every so often, a report would be generated that does NOT show the new service - this applies to tactical view as well. So out of 15 clicks, 14 clicks would show the correct configuration, but one click would not. This number of clicks is by no means fixed, and varies. Upon further reading, I noticed that there is a new feature objects.cache which may seem to govern this. I tried disabling objects.cache from within nagios.cfg, but this doesn't seem to solve the problem, since it persists. Has anyone seen this behaviour before, and if so, how have they resolved it?

Ethan is the only developer (some of us contribute a bit now and then) and this is by design. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that the main nagios process drops all privileges before going active. Most daemons have the master process running as root, forking one other to do all the work while the master only sits around waiting for SIG_CHLD and then cleans up. I'll have a look at it and see if I can come up with something clean enough for Ethan to include. > --Chris > -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I know it can use the freetds libs (I compiled it that way myself). I had problems installing DBD::Sybase (via Webmin's install from CPAN). It keeps complaining of not finding Sybase libraries or the lib directory: "Can't find any Sybase libraries in /usr/local/lib at Makefile.PL line 107, line 44." (/usr/local is supposed to be the default location of Sybase libraries) "Can't find the lib directory under /etc! at Makefile.PL line 104, line 44." (/etc is where my freetds.conf file is) "Can't find the lib directory under /usr/share/doc/freetds-0.62.1! at Makefile.PL line 104, line 44." (/usr/share/doc/freetds-0.62.1 is the only other place I could locate freetds though I knew it was a long shot) "Can't find the lib directory under /usr/share/pear/DB! at Makefile.PL line 104, line 44." (/usr/share/pear/DB is where my sybase.php is) I couldn't locate any other directories that had either freetds or sybase in it. So I think I need to install Sybase? I see that ASE Express Edition for Linux is free but it requires registration before I can install. Am I still on the right track and install it? What I find really strange is, the other RH9 that has check_mssql running, does have DBD::Sybase perl module installed but not the freetds package (according to Webmin). Check_mssql has no man but check_mssql -h gives: Syntax: ./check_mssql -s -d -u -p -q [-v] * --database -d Database name * --server -s Server name * --username -u Username * --password -p Password * --query -q SQL query to run --verbose -v verbose There is no -V option so I don't know what version this is. Here's the command definition from the working RH9 (I cleaned up our values in <>): # 'check_mssql' command definition define command{ command_name check_mssql command_line $USER1$/check_mssql -s $HOSTADDRESS$ -d -u -p -q "$ARG1$" } Here's the service definition from the working RH9 (I cleaned up our values in <>): # Service definition define service{ use comtex-service-template ; Name of service template to use host_name service_description max_check_attempts 1 check_command check_mssql!exec ! } I've even tried installing sqsh because I think I read check_mssql may need both freetds and sqsh, but I had problems installing sqsh, too: error: Failed dependencies: libcomn.so is needed by sqsh-1.7-1 libcs.so is needed by sqsh-1.7-1 libct.so is needed by sqsh-1.7-1 libintl.so is needed by sqsh-1.7-1 libncurses.so.4 is needed by sqsh-1.7-1 libreadline.so.3 is needed by sqsh-1.7-1 libsybtcl.so is needed by sqsh-1.7-1 I tried installing libcomn.so but I can't seem to find that package (or whatever it is). The working RH9 did not have sqsh package installed on it. If you haven't guessed, I'm very clueless about most of this stuff. I'm only starting to understand the basics of nagios, but I am not a programmer and still a Linux newbie so I don't even know what I'm installing (I don't know the difference between a package and a perl module or whatever). Not that I am expecting anyone to suddenly get me up to speed on any of this, but please don't assume I know something that you think is basic. :) Unfortunately, going back to the consultant is not an option.

I settled on 1.0b4 because everything has worked stupendously since then. However, my ability to generate graphs disappeared when I upgraded from RH8.0 to RH9.0 a couple months ago. I've downloaded the tarballs for every version between 1.0b4 up to 1.2 and still can't get it to compile nicely. I get the infamous missing gd libraries errors. It won't even compile auth.c, cgiutils.c, edata.c, getcgi.c, histogram.c lifo.c, popen.c, statusmap.c, or trends.c. I checked my old 1.0b4 trends.cgi (which used to work): www:cgi# ldd /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/trends.cgi libgd.so.1.8 => /usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8 (0x4001d000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4004f000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x4005d000) libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x4007f000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x400a1000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x400bf000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x40111000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) All other cgi's return favorable results as well. /usr/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf and ldconfig runs fine. My configure script is: ./configure --prefix=/etc/nagios --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib \ --with-gd-inc=/usr/include --with-jpeg-lib=/usr/lib \ --with-jpeg-inc=/usr/include --with-png-lib=/usr/lib \ --with-png-inc=/usr/include The only thing that has caught my eye is: libgd.so.1.8 => /usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8 (0x4001d000) That library is from gdbm-devel-1.8.0-20. Should it be using libgd.so.1.3 instead? -Scott ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Specifically, NAGIOS is marking a host as DOWN when all the services on a host are down, but the host itself is UP. However, this is only happening in SOME cases. Some hosts where all services are DOWN are marked as UP, and others as DOWN. I have NAGIOS configured as follows: define command { command_name check-host-alive command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5 -w 3000.0,20% -c 5000.0,60% } define host { name generic-host ... check_command check-host-alive ... register 0 } define host { use generic-host host_name atropos.uk.clara.net address 217.158.240.13 alias atropos.uk.clara.net } The Host State information for atropos.uk.clara.net lists the status information as "(No Information Returned From Host Check)". However, running the plugin manually returns the following output: # check_ping -H 217.158.240.13 -p 5 -w 3000.0,20% -c 5000.0,60% PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 12.55 ms Therefore I don't believe the problem lies with the plugin that I'm using to check host status. I am using NAGIOS version 1.2. How might I go about debugging this issue further? Are there any relevant fixes in the newly released 2.0b which may have an effect on this?

Nawui was the one I used more recently and there were a few issues I had with it.. I think the most recent one was the fact that it didn't have a setting to define 'is_volatile' - I'm sure if you were so inclined, it could be hacked to add the missing features though.

I am not skilled in Linux so I would always hope someone would write an install routine for nagios that helps you setup the system and devices easily.

I think the most recent one was the fact that it didn't have a setting to define 'is_volatile' - I'm sure if you were so inclined, it could be hacked to add the missing features though.

Few hours after restart/reload nagios process the active checks stop... They are scheduled but not done. I see scheduled list with services which should by checked 2 days ago... Server time is good. I have no idea what is the source of problem. I don't make any changes in config files during nagios work. 2) I would like to use distributed monitoring on 100 hosts to local check sql, http and some processes. But I'd like to check them with 2 minutes interval, and send status with 60 minutes interval (i.e. after every 30 checks, of course if the state didn't change). It could by quite easy to send non-ok status (notify interval). Could You advice me how to send ok status in this way ?

That's what I have with my defaul installation (from mandrakelinux rpm). My user has an id above 400 as also mentionned in the F0118.

Second thing: I have different users that can see only special hosts. If i switch fromn userdefined to circular/markup i can not see the other hosts, but see how many hosts are critical because the circle (with colors) is drawn, even if the hosts are not displayed.. Well at least i don't want to have people knowing that.. (uhh look there are 100 hosts down..) How can i prevent that?

You can even do something like cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/hosts and put all the files you need in there. Add a host object and the hosts respective services to the file and you're good to go. You should also definitely look into attaching services to hostgroups. You would usually want a 'windows-servers' group so you can add checks for disk usage, memory usage and such on that type of servers, and perhaps 'router-devices' for checking the interface table for errors and traffic usage. That way you can get away with around 1/30'th of what you would otherwise have to type. > Thanks, Florian > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.

The CGI's expect Nagios to update the status log a little more frequently than once every 35 years.

In case you happened to update Mon Dec 20 13:02:48 GMT, I suspect the check_nagios command you're using uses the last update time as the time since the last update (which is a bit silly). In that case the check_nagios command should be fixed, which I'll leave as an exercise to you. > Thanks, > You're welcome.

It will tell you all you need to know. For a quick-start in the right direction, you can use the attached object_config_fix.php script to convert your object config to one that Nagios 2.0 will understand. Run it as such; php object_config_fix.php /path/to/nagios.cfg To convert your comment.log, you'll need to run the attached 12to20comments.php script, as such; 12to20comments.php /path/to/comment.log That should get you to your next question, which I predict will be "Why are my notification emails all weird?? They used to work in 1.2!". The answer to that is to read the CHANGES file and make the necessary alterations to your notification commands.

I'd like it to report a UNKNOWN instead, as in 90% of these cases, the problem clears up shortly. The other 10% of the time, we already know the box is down. I'd like this as well... so, I modified the source code here. I also made a similar change for check_nt since we use the pNSclient agent for windows. It's actually a very simple change (if you know C) although the developers will naturally want this on a configurable option which increases their work. Actually, I have 'unknown' if the connect times out or is refused, but 'warning' if it connects but then doesnt return a value in time (since this probably indicates an overloaded box). Your choice may be different. Let me know via private email if you want a copy of the hacked code.

Set active_checks_enabled = 1 check_period = never (and then define 'never' to be what it says!) This is how we do it, so as to be able to see which checks are *really* disabled and which are just passive. Then, we use the freshness check to set status to 'unknown' if a passive check has not been received in a certain maximum interval time.

I'm rebuilding the software to use current PERL modules, as well as rebuilding it under the Win32::GUI::Loft toolkit (so the interface will look a lot nicer), and I'm hoping to have a release by the the first week of January. What I would like from the community using the software is some feature requests to go into the 1.0 release of the software. If you're using NTray to monitor your Nagios installation and have something you would like to see in the new version, please let me know. Rob Wagner, NTray Guy!

The message I get is "could not find status log: /var/log/nagios/status.log", which is misleading. Nagios wants to back up the status.log by renaming it to status.sav and moving it to /var/tmp/nagios. For some mysterious reasons /var/tmp/nagios directory disappears and so he can not backup status.sav. But the message we get is something else. Q1) Why does the /var/tmp/nagios directory (tmpfile setting in nagios.cfg) disappears? Q2) The message is misleading. Perhaps we should change it. Q3) In the nagios start-up script, there is a variable NagiosTmp=/var/log/nagios/nagios.tmp. Is this related to tmpfile setting in nagios.cfg? Perhaps this was the problem? __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.

I am having trouble with the statuswrl.cgi when using mod_ssl support in apache with the Internet Explorer browser. I receive the following error: "Internet Exploerer cannot download statuswrl.cgi?host=all from x.x.x.x." Interestingly, Firefox/Mozilla does not exhibit this problem and is able to get the file, but it opens Internet Explorer and calls the Cortona plugin to open it locally. A similar problem was discussed in a prior posting: From: Thomas Nilsen RE: 3D statusmap 2003-02-10 00:18 found the culprit... I"m using Nagios over HTTPS, which causes the 3D view to fail. I don"t know if it is Nagios/Apache or the 3d plugin for the browser that"s causing it, but once I swithced to HTTP it works. My question continues where this one left off -- is there a way to get the statuswrl.cgi to work in MSIE without sacrificing SSL on the apache server? If so, I would be very much interested. My best guess is that MSIE is not allowing the vrml page to be cached locally. Is there something I can change on the server or client that would work around this? Relevant details are below. Here is my apache access_log when accessing nagios without ssl. Just a normal entry: x.x.x.x - xxxxxxxxx [20/Dec/2004:19:50:04 -0500] "GET /nagios/cgi-bin/statuswrl.cgi?host=all HTTP/1.1" 200 108868 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)" Here is my ssl_access_log and ssl_request_log when using ssl, also normal: x.x.x.x - xxxxxxx [20/Dec/2004:20:36:17 -0500] "GET /nagios/cgi-bin/statuswrl.cgi?host=all HTTP/1.1" 200 108868 [20/Dec/2004:20:36:17 -0500] x.x.x.x SSLv2 RC4-MD5 "GET /nagios/cgi-bin/statuswrl.cgi?host=all HTTP/1.1" 108868 Nothing shows up in the ssl_error_log and error_log during the GET.

Everything is working fine unless I reboot the computers where lmsensors should be executed on by NRPE. When I reboot the machine everything seems to be well - the startup scripts initialize sensors and start NRPE (as daemon), but when my Nagios retrieves the info, the information becomes always cut at different sections of the output. For Example (output of 2 different computers with the same config): output (PC1), when I (re-)start NRPE by hand: SENSORS OK - temp1 +35 ?C: temp3 +33.5 ?C output (PC1), when its started up by init script: SENSORS OK - output (PC2), when I (re-)start NRPE by hand: SENSORS OK - fan2 4326 RPM: temp2 +19.0 ?C output (PC2), when its started up by init script: SENSORS OK - fan2 4326 RPM I even tried it at the command line and the output was the same, but the NRPE process seems to be running normaly. When I restart the NRPE process everythings working fine again until the next restart of the computer (as mentioned above). I am using NRPE 2.0 with Nagios 1.2 and the plugin "check_sensors.pl" (by Matthew Kent) as I didn't really like the normal "check_sensors" plugin (if you'd like to see it watch this link: http://iramon.ir.funpic.de/nagios/download/check_sensors.pl). I already thought about writing an init script which restarts the NRPE process after 10 seconds or so, but haven't tried that yet and in my opinion thats not a clean solution.

For the record, I found a resolution for this was to remove the entries for this host from the nagios status tables in MySQL Perhaps there was some bug causing these entries not to be updated. Or for checks not to be scheduled when data is already there. I guess things like this are one of the reasons that support for databases natively has been removed in version 2.

It behaves normaly! When I call : /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_sensors.pl -s "temp1:55:65" -s "temp3:50:60" The output is: SENSORS OK - temp1 +36 C; temp3 +34.5 C| 'temp1'=36;55;65 'temp3'=34.5;50;60 When I call : /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_sensors The output is: SENSORS OK - | 'temp1'=36;55;65 'temp3'=34.5;50;60 This also happens, when I use the network-card IP address instead of localhost. extract from my nrpe.cfg: command[check_sensors]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_sensors.pl -s "temp1:55:65" -s "temp3:50:60" As said before, when I kill the nrpe process and start it again as a daemon everything works fine. I don't have to do anything at the sensors or anywhere else... I wonder why this cannot be a problem of NRPE?! I really don't know what else I should have look at and what can be wrong here. I also tried the rc-start script for SuSE Linux from the new CVS of NRPE, but also with that init-script it didn't work at the start. Just after a "restart" of the process.

I've checked that nagios is running, issued nagios -v nagios.conf as suggested but it does not help. The compilation options I've used are the same for another machine I run successfully (debian sarge).

Still trying to find what's wrong. MandrakdeLinux comes with Apache-PREFORK-AdvancedExtranetServer. Also I'm on Cooker (latest rpm versions). I know that apache_mod_ssl is installed (2.0.52-4) but it is not in the configured known modules (and re-configuring it from WebMin does not work). And the /var/cache/httpd/mod_ssl is not present (should be I think).

In the end, it's with 99.9% certainty a permission issue. apache runs on both as www-data, nagios on both as nagios. The only difference I can think of is the prefix /usr/local/nagios-2.0 instead of /usr/local/nagios on the nonworking host, but I've symlinked it to /usr/local/nagios.

The list of things that doesn't work when attempted from webmin would fill quite a large book. Try shell access for a change. You'll want to add a line like LoadModule ssl_module modules/lib_ssl.so in your httpd.conf. modules/lib_ssl.so is supposed to point to that file, so you might have to edit it slightly, although most dists I've come across have a symlink from the server_root to the modules directory. >.

It isn't ideally what I wanted since statuswrl.cgi is no longer encrypted, but at least every thing else is. I added a Files directive below to exempt statuswrl.cgi from requiring SSL: ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ Options ExecCGI AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from x.x.x.x/x AuthType Basic AuthName "Nagios Web Access" Require user xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx AuthPAM_Enabled on AuthPAM_FallThrough off SSLCipherSuite -all:SSLv2:+HIGH SSLRequireSSL I then edited side.html in the nagios shares directory and changed the relative hyperlink to a full hyperlink in order to change it to http instead of https: 3-D Status Map The only problem is that any links out of the vrml world into nagios are broken because relative hyperlinks are generated within the statuswrl.cgi. I think that perhaps a better solution would be to use the RewriteEngine in apache to modify the relative hyperlink so that side.html does not have to be changed and statuswrl.cgi hyperlinks get rewritten to https:// instead of http://.

Nice to see you. I'm trying to use Nagios 1.2 in my Lab. I have a problem about its Hostcheck. Please give me advices. == MY ENVIRONMENT == I made 60 hosts which are virtual machines on VMWare and check over 600 services by Nagios 1.2 and its plugin1.4a1. Each host has independent MAC and IP address. 20 hosts(hostname are "k***") are located in my side (LAN), and other 40 Hosts(hosyname are "b***") are located over VPN (WAN). It was working fine before VPN has been down. Hostname rule : my side (LAN) "b***" over VPN(WAN) "k***" It seems this rule is the point of my problem. == MY TEST RESULT == When VPN connection had been down, Nagios started hostcheck to each host(B***) over the VPN. But in this time, Nagios checked nothing to the hosts(K***) are located in my side(LAN), until finish completely the hostcheck to "B***". It took 28 minutes to re-check the hosts(K***) in my side(LAN) by Nagios, cause there were 40 host over VPN. I noticed it from Nagios log file. My configurations in this time are below (default setting). 40 Host x 10sec (ping timeout) x 4 times (hostcheck) = 1600sec = 26min 30sec =:= nearly 28min(from my log) I tried to test with test configurations. In this case, the time which Nagios checked nothing was 90sec(from log file). 40 Host x 1sec (ping timeout) x 1 times (host check) = 40sec =/= 90sec (from my log) but nearly equal(?) I understand that Nagios decide turn to check by hostname from source code. So, it seems to take much time(like above) to check the host "K***". == My QUESTIONS ARE == 1) Does Nagios1.2 Hostcheck sequence work Serially ? And does Nagios 1.2 stop all check(host/service) during hostcheck to one host ? Is this result fit to its specifications ? OR are there some point I should re-configure, except for hostname :p ? 2) How about Nagis 2.0b1 ? , if above is fit to its specifications. Is anyone already try it ? Thanks for your help.

My proposal: make yourself a check_ping command which calls the check_ping plugin. Add all your hosts to this service and there you go.

So you need to devise some sort of service check.

Thanks a lot! You don't need to restart httpd after making configuration changes to nagios but you DO need to restart or reload the nagios daemon for it to recognize the changes. Could you possibly have multiple nagios processes running? Stop the daemon, use ps to see if there are any that remain and kill them if there are and then restart the daemon. In the 1.x train, the CGI's read the config files in real time so any changes you made should have been visible to the CGI's immediately (but not the daemon; they're independent components). Since you don't say what specific details aren't changing it's difficult to speculate what the problem really is. If the suggestion above doesn't provide relief, please give us more details on what changes you made exactly, what isn't showing in the CGI's and any appropriate config snippets as well. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Message-ID: <41C9BD9F.3010307@Examen.com> Hi Folks, I need to be able to scan log files looking for several different strings, and sometimes the number of times a string appears is important. Often times, this is on a rather large log file, so the existing "check_log" script would tend to load the machine quite a bit since it can only handle one string at a time, plus it really cannot handle the "alarm if this_string occurs more than 10 times in 10 minutes" in the log. I was just wondering if anyone had written a more robust check_log extension, or possibly come up with some logsurfer or swatch integration checks. ...or is it time to "roll my own"? :-) Thanks! -Emmett -- ================ Examen, Inc. ================ Emmett Hogan Senior UNIX Administrator emmetth at examen.com ==== Outside Counsel Management Solutions ==== CONFIDENTIAL - PRIVILEGED INFORMATION This e-mail may include confidential, trade secret or legally privileged information.

What version of Nagios? I had an issue where it looked like the update to the DB was taking as long as the update-interval, so I think Nagios didn't have time to do anything else. I also found that parallel checks was set to 0 which hurt performance as well. Turning on check parallization and setting the status update interval to 90 seconds seemed to help. This is with Nagios 1.1. -Jason Martin -- This message is PGP/MIME signed. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I think I'm done, at least with all the features I plan to use.... that is, until somebody points out a bug or asks for a feature I would like to use. Anyway, in the hope somebody else finds my code useful, either to run, as an example NEB, or even better, wants to expand upon it or make my replacement UI look good, I've set up a sourceforge project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios-db/ Frankly, I'm not going to be spending time adding features I won't be using - I'm too busy. But you're more than welcome to join the project and add them yourself. :) I tried to structure things to be open to improvements, and of course I'll offer what little help I can. So.... if the idea of being able to pull up an overview page for 10k services in about 2 seconds sounds appealing to you, enjoy this code. :) (For those who got my last snapshot from my nagios-devel posting, this adds historical availability reporting, cleans up the PHP pages, and hides services and hosts that are no longer configured from the UI.) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I don't know how the plugin works, but the output looks like it's self-contradictory - it's okay and then it prints that it has timed out?! The only thing I can think is that it's connecting immediately, and then not getting the greeting from the server within the timeout period. Either the server's real busy, or it's trying to do a lookup of the connected IP address (probably 192.168.250.10), and it takes a long time for it to decide it can't find a hostname for it. I tested this with netcat and if gets a connection but no welcome banner, it will print the "Socket timeout after 4 seconds" message, but it shouldn't print the "SMTP OK" before it.

At someone else's suggestion I submitted this as a FAQ, but I don't think it ever made it to the web site. Using SEC seems a better bet than swatch (although this si what I talk about below). Please look thorough the archives for "SEC" in the subject, esepcially useful are submissions by Stanley Hopcroft. Jim Mozley ____________________________________________________________ Better late than never I hope. The following is a setup for using syslog-ng, swatch and a script to pass passive events into Nagios. This is based on getting syslog messages from a set of network devices, although the same principle would apply to hosts. I've tried to make the example fairly generic, for instance we generate the nagios config for this automatically from device configurations, so please don't copy/paste this without understanding what's going on. 1. Define services in Nagios. For instance if you want to monitor MPLS messages for each network device define an MPLS service as below. #Service definition template define service{ name mpls-service-template active_checks_enabled no passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 0 check_freshness 0 freshness_threshold 28800 notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 register 0 is_volatile 1 check_period none max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups network-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,c,r } define service{ use mpls-service-template ; template host_name host1 service_description mpls check_command "" } 2. Configure syslog-ng. Once you have got your config file ready you will need to disable the native syslog daemon and start syslog-ng. syslog-ng config; this is for Solaris the source may need to change for linux/BSD: options { keep_hostname(off); long_hostnames(off); sync(1); log_fifo_size(2048); bad_hostname("%"); }; source all { sun-stream("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal(); udp(); }; # Put each day's log in a separate file within a directory for # each host. destination d_hosts { file("/var/log/hosts/$HOST/$HOST-$YEAR$MONTH$DAY" owner(root) group(syslog) perm(0660) dir_perm(0750) create_dirs(yes)); }; # To send messages to swatch destination d_swatch { program("/usr/local/bin/swatch --config-file=/etc/swatchrc --read-pipe=\ "cat /dev/fd/0\""); }; # log all messages in a directory per host log { source(all); destination(d_hosts); }; # send all logs to swatch log { source(all); destination(d_swatch); }; 3. Install and configure swatch. Sample line from swatchrc watchfor /pattern-i-want-to-match/ exec /path/to/my/script.pl $* So for instance if you are looking out for MPLS messages and your devices include "MPLS" in these syslog message match the pattern /MPLS/ 4. Create the script This should build a passive command based on the contents of the syslog message. For instance it might contain element such as: if ( $syslogmsg =~ /down/ ) { $nagios_code = 2; # Critical } You will need to extract the hostname from the syslog message (and possibly the service unless this is hardcoded - it is in this example). In the end you want to build a message such as: my $cmd = "[$epoch] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;$host;$service;$nagios_code;$msg"; And fire it into nagios: my $echo = '/usr/bin/echo'; my $pipe = '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'; system "$echo \"$cmd\" >> $pipe"; (As an aside I tried the perl way of doing this rather than a system command and had a problem on Solaris I couldn't resolve.) I would recommend you take a look at Al Toby's module on CPAN for passing commands to Nagios. There are also some shell script examples of passing Nagios commands supplied with the distribution. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I am able to see the data from the local checks on .242, but the remote check results coming from .229 are not appearing yet, i.e. disk space, users, processes, etc.? Is there something else I have to add to the *.cfg files on the master Nagios machine? I'd like to make a detailed HowTo for configuring NRPE sometime soon since it seems like this is a frequently visited topic on the Nagios mailing list.

I'm running Fedora Core 3 with Apache/2.0.5 (Default RPM)... It took me a while to get the cgi's working (for those that have had problems I had to do this to get the cgi's working with suexec and Apache 2 on Fedora) chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/nagios/share/ After running those commands all the cgi's run fine. I've set-up authorization on the cgi's so I can submit commands via the web, but now I have a problem with the nagios.cmd file. I have used the FAQ's and set all permission's and have tried all sorts of combinations. This is the error I get.. Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'! The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands. An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing I'm not sure what/where to go from here to get this working. nagios creates/removes the nagios.cmd file as you start and stop nagios. I have set all the permission's on the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/ as instructed in http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/commandfile.html and restarted apache.

Exemple : messages_20042712.log (for today) The entries on the file are compared to the panic list word. When panic list word is detected, alert message is sended by SMTP and batch is executed (net send + others script...). If you want a free version, don't hesitate to send me a message interests : - I don't need to configure my Unix servers - All is centralized on one host, no need to run any process on servers - The application is very simple to installe inconveniences : - Monitor 512 log file max on the same windows machine (future version will accept more) - Rlogin service must be UP on the unix servers (open firewall port if needed) On this version, if you have more than 512 log file to monitor, you can turn application on other machine...

At someone else's suggestion I submitted this as a FAQ, but I don't think it ever made it to the web site. Using SEC seems a better bet than swatch (although this si what I talk about below). Please look thorough the archives for "SEC" in the subject, esepcially useful are submissions by Stanley Hopcroft. Jim Mozley ____________________________________________________________ Better late than never I hope. The following is a setup for using syslog-ng, swatch and a script to pass passive events into Nagios. This is based on getting syslog messages from a set of network devices, although the same principle would apply to hosts. I've tried to make the example fairly generic, for instance we generate the nagios config for this automatically from device configurations, so please don't copy/paste this without understanding what's going on. 1. Define services in Nagios. For instance if you want to monitor MPLS messages for each network device define an MPLS service as below. #Service definition template define service{ name mpls-service-template active_checks_enabled no passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 0 check_freshness 0 freshness_threshold 28800 notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 register 0 is_volatile 1 check_period none max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups network-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,c,r } define service{ use mpls-service-template ; template host_name host1 service_description mpls check_command "" } 2. Configure syslog-ng. Once you have got your config file ready you will need to disable the native syslog daemon and start syslog-ng. syslog-ng config; this is for Solaris the source may need to change for linux/BSD: options { keep_hostname(off); long_hostnames(off); sync(1); log_fifo_size(2048); bad_hostname("%"); }; source all { sun-stream("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal(); udp(); }; # Put each day's log in a separate file within a directory for # each host. destination d_hosts { file("/var/log/hosts/$HOST/$HOST-$YEAR$MONTH$DAY" owner(root) group(syslog) perm(0660) dir_perm(0750) create_dirs(yes)); }; # To send messages to swatch destination d_swatch { program("/usr/local/bin/swatch --config-file=/etc/swatchrc --read-pipe=\ "cat /dev/fd/0\""); }; # log all messages in a directory per host log { source(all); destination(d_hosts); }; # send all logs to swatch log { source(all); destination(d_swatch); }; 3. Install and configure swatch. Sample line from swatchrc watchfor /pattern-i-want-to-match/ exec /path/to/my/script.pl $* So for instance if you are looking out for MPLS messages and your devices include "MPLS" in these syslog message match the pattern /MPLS/ 4. Create the script This should build a passive command based on the contents of the syslog message. For instance it might contain element such as: if ( $syslogmsg =~ /down/ ) { $nagios_code = 2; # Critical } You will need to extract the hostname from the syslog message (and possibly the service unless this is hardcoded - it is in this example). In the end you want to build a message such as: my $cmd = "[$epoch] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;$host;$service;$nagios_code;$msg"; And fire it into nagios: my $echo = '/usr/bin/echo'; my $pipe = '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'; system "$echo \"$cmd\" >> $pipe"; (As an aside I tried the perl way of doing this rather than a system command and had a problem on Solaris I couldn't resolve.) I would recommend you take a look at Al Toby's module on CPAN for passing commands to Nagios. There are also some shell script examples of passing Nagios commands supplied with the distribution. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Message-ID: <41D007C1.9060605@becomo.com> Hello all! I'm using Nagios 1.2, installed from ports on FreeBSD 5.2.1. I've compiled PostgreSQL support in. And now I can see unusual high cpu load - mostly due to postmaster activity. Take a look at mrtg graph at http://ceti.pl/~miki/test/k2_cpu-week.png - I've installed nagios last week, and finally polished its confguration on friday. I'm not a newbie PostgreSQL user, IMHO it's tuned fine (fsync set to off, big cache). Our website is postgresql driven (it's PostgreSQL 7.4.1 there). But nagios seems to take our database to its knees :-( I've got 36 service checkers on 7 hosts now. Our server is 2GHz AMD, 512MG RAM - so it's rather powerful machine. Maybe PostgreSQL is not the best choice to use with Nagios? Does mysql work better? -- Mikolaj Rydzewski Becomo S.A. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The problem with Nagios and DB support is the way it is implemented. Each status-change causes a flush and recreation of a very flat table. This causes the db server to eat an extraordinary amount of CPU each time the status is updated.

Message-ID: Hi all, I have an issue with the nagios_check_command this is what I have it as in my cfg file.. I'm running Fedora C3 with Apache 2.0.5 all default installs. My check command is... nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 5 '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg' But from the web cgi pages they are saying nagios is down or not running. When I run the command from a shell prompt (as root) I get this output. [root at em-au-10 etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log 5 '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg' Nagios ok: located 1 process, status log updated 8 seconds ago Where else can I look to see how to fix this? For the moment I turned off the command so I could get to run the cgi commands but I also have an issue with the external command file. I have set all permission's in the instructions. Permission's on the rw directory drwxrwsrwx 2 nagios nagiocmd 4096 Dec 28 11:11 rw Permission's on cmd file.. (file is created/removed on start/stop of nagios) prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagiocmd 0 Dec 28 11:11 nagios.cmd Group file. apache:x:48: nagios:x:501: nagiocmd:x:702:nagios,apache Webserver is running as user/group apache/apache Nagios is running as user/group nagios/nagios I have disabled suexec on my webserver (just renamed it) and of course rebooted/restarted/turned off, you name it., in between everything... ;) Can anyone help me with this, These are the only 2 items I need to finish off for nagios to be functioning 100%? I can get around the process check by just disabling it (but I would REALLY like it working).

Command line OK. 12/27/2004 11:52 AM Hi , I'm setting up check_by_ssh to invoke a script via forced command on a remote server to check a service status. The script returns the correct status on the server where it lives, and when I run check_by_ssh on the command-line, all is well. Nagios runs the remote command (and displays the contents of stdout on the status detail page), but the status always comes back 'Unknown'. Command-line: [nagios at nagios1]$ libexec/check_by_ssh -H 149.152.10.183 -l remoteuser -i /path/to/rsa/identity_key -C 'LDAP' LDAP daemon is running. When nagios runs the service check, the same 'LDAP daemon is running.' message appears in the status information, but the status is nevertheless marked as hard 'UNKNOWN'. Here's checkcommands.cfg: define command{ command_name check-cp-ldap command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -l remoteuser -i /path/to/rsa/identity_key -C 'LDAP' } This is the status log entry: [1104169159] SERVICE;soluminis1;LDAP;UNKNOWN;3/3;HARD;1104169025;1104169205;ACTIVE; 1;1;1;1104157840;0;UNKNOWN;3706;335959;419;530;1104165074;2;1;0;1;1;0;0.00;0;1;1;1;LDAP daemon is running. Nagios is running on RH Linux, and the target host is Solaris 9. Nagios' SSH is OpenSSH and the Solaris box is running Sun_SSH_1.0, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. The remote script worked correctly when monitoring services on a Solaris 8 box which was running SSH Secure Shell (non-commercial license). Check_by_ssh is from nagios-plugins 1.4.0alpha1, version 1.18. What am I not seeing? It's probably some bonehead maneuver on my part, but has anyone else run into (and found their way around) this?

Multiple daemons? Message-ID: Marc, The other main reason for running multiple daemons is to allow us to distribute and compartmentalize nagios administrator privileges. We have four differenct executable files that are gathering stats behind a single apache. The person in charge of each nagios is fully able to reconfigure, restart and fix (or fry) anything within his domain. Our shop has been doing this since NetSaint 0.0.7 and we have been running cleanly on this instance for about a year now. It's only when trying to hook in this new solaris 9 server that we are beginning to see problems, which leads me to believe that the issue is of a more specific nature and not a generalized failure. Is there any specific reason to believe that our configuration is impossible and/or contributing to the originally described problem? To you it's a non-standard configuration, but for me it's all I've got. : - ) Scott Zak __________________ You know that Nagios provides multi-view functionality right out of the box with just a single process and a single set of config files, right? If you're running multiple daemons just for different views then you've gone down the wrong path. With authentication enabled users are only able to see hosts and services that they are authorized contacts for. -- Marc ________________________________________ From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Scott Zak Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 8:22 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Re: Status oscillates w/check_by_ssh.

Command line OK. 12/27/2004 11:52 AM Hi , I'm setting up check_by_ssh to invoke a script via forced command on a remote server to check a service status. The script returns the correct status on the server where it lives, and when I run check_by_ssh on the command-line, all is well. Nagios runs the remote command (and displays the contents of stdout on the status detail page), but the status always comes back 'Unknown'. Command-line: [nagios at nagios1]$ libexec/check_by_ssh -H 149.152.10.183 -l remoteuser -i /path/to/rsa/identity_key -C 'LDAP' LDAP daemon is running. When nagios runs the service check, the same 'LDAP daemon is running.' message appears in the status information, but the status is nevertheless marked as hard 'UNKNOWN'. Here's checkcommands.cfg: define command{ command_name check-cp-ldap command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -l remoteuser -i /path/to/rsa/identity_key -C 'LDAP' } This is the status log entry: [1104169159] SERVICE;soluminis1;LDAP;UNKNOWN;3/3;HARD;1104169025;1104169205;ACTIVE; 1;1;1;1104157840;0;UNKNOWN;3706;335959;419;530;1104165074;2;1;0;1;1;0;0. 00;0;1;1;1;LDAP daemon is running. Nagios is running on RH Linux, and the target host is Solaris 9. Nagios' SSH is OpenSSH and the Solaris box is running Sun_SSH_1.0, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. The remote script worked correctly when monitoring services on a Solaris 8 box which was running SSH Secure Shell (non-commercial license). Check_by_ssh is from nagios-plugins 1.4.0alpha1, version 1.18. What am I not seeing? It's probably some bonehead maneuver on my part, but has anyone else run into (and found their way around) this?

If I reissue /etc/init.d/nagios stop it it complains about the missing lockfile, but some nagios processes are still there. 2) After having killed the stale processes I've tried to restart nagios.

I think the init.d script you are using is the custom debian one for nagios 1.3, while I'm using the upstream 2.0 nagios script which doesn't use start-stop-daemon.

Most folks pointed me to check_log2.pl in the contrib directory of the plugins distribution. check_log2 is great for two reasons: 1) It's written in PERL, so I can hack on it, 2) it takes regular expressions, so you can bundle mutilple checks in one pass. However, the major drawback to it, is that it returns only two states: OK, or WARNING. There are some log messages which I would consider CRITICAL. So, unless someone has a better suggestion...I think I will hack check_log2 to take parameters like this: check_log2.pl -l -s -cp [-cn ] -wp [-wn ] Where "-cp" and "-cn" indicate the CRITICAL patterns to look for, and "-wp" and "-wn" are the WARNING patterns. Anybody see any potential problems with that? -Emmett -- ================ Examen, Inc. ================ Emmett Hogan Senior UNIX Administrator emmetth at examen.com ==== Outside Counsel Management Solutions ==== CONFIDENTIAL - PRIVILEGED INFORMATION This e-mail may include confidential, trade secret or legally privileged information.

If you're after what I think, then you can do it with pNSclient. Check the perfMon counters -- there's a place for resource usage on a per-process basis and you can search for the process name. This should be able to give you what you want? We're doing something similar for memory use by our SQL Server processes. Since pNSclient can also monitor services, you might be better off using just pnsclient unless you are using NRPE to run custom scripts or to restart stopped services.

An ICMP_UNREACH message indicates that one (or more) routers along the way doesn't know what the next hop of the packet will be, so all of the packets will fail (unless the router starts behaving magically between two packets).

Umm. Both. For true down host, status info is ICMP Unreachable from 161.65.1.x for ICMP Echo sent to 161.65.7.x in the gui. For random other host foo in the gui, status info can be ICMP Unreachable from 161.65.1.x for ICMP Echo sent to foo in the gui. I couldn't count any more than 5 other random foo hosts showing the symptoms at any one time.... > > testing with redirects seems to suggest the output is standard out, not > > standard error. > > > > This is by design.

The old code is structured in a very round-robin way (an fping legacy) which makes it a bit hard to maintain and add random "plugin-ish" features to. Those new features I'd like to add are f.e. support for pinging using various other protocols (udp and tcp to begin with - tcp pings would require packet socket handling on OSI layer 2) and the possibility of running it in check_host mode and be ultra-fast. > thanks -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

These will point you to the plugins website which also has lots of info. I would not recommend writing an active-check plugin in java due to the overhead of instantiating the JRE on each execution. Writing a java daemon that submits passive check results would work, though.

If there is more than one instance of the counter (which you can find out from the right hand side of the Add Counters dialog in the Windows Performance monitor), you have to specify it in the counter definition. That is the case with this counter, there's a value for each storage group plus a total for the whole of Exchange. To get the total, your command should be: /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_nt -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -v COUNTER -l "\\MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" Replace _Total with the name of the storage group from the counters dialog if you want individual rates. Our Exchange server isn't busy enough at the moment to test that in any meaningful way but it should work. :) Phil ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

It's worked great since I inherited it and have gotten up-to-speed on Nagios. I have 1157 systems & 1378 services being monitored. I decided to write my own plugin to check the disk arrays we are running on a number of systems. (I'm using snmpget and snmpwalk to gather stats.) I wrote it in /bin/tcsh for various reasons, mostly because I works well for me (and I don't know perl or c). The actual script doesn't matter here, because Nagios will NOT run anything that uses tcsh as far as I can tell. It just returns (No Output!). Here is the current plugin TEST script: #!/bin/tcsh echo $0 >> /tmp/nagios_event_debug.txt echo $1 >> /tmp/nagios_event_debug.txt echo OK - tcsh exit 3 Nice and simple. When I run it as the nagios user from command line, it runs fine and logs itself into the tmp file. When it is run as a plugin from the system, it only returns the No Output!, and nothing is logged. If I change the script shell to #!/bin/sh instead, it DOES log itself and returns the echo values just fine from both the command line and the system. 1) Can anyone figure a way to get it to run properly under tcsh. And maybe explain why? or 2) Could someone confirm that this won't run on your system too, (to verify my sanity) [on this point at least ] Thanks for any help Lewis ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

This is really an FAQ but 'No output!' means that when the Nagios process called the popen() (eg man 3 popen) library call to fork a new process and exec your shell script, Nagios could not read anything from the stream connected to the processes standard output. Nagios can use any language that can call exit() and write to standard output. Under Linux/POSIX OS's I can't think of any language that rules out. To find out why your plugin is not working you can 1 Use a test Nagios (ie one in a sandbox, with a stripped config that does _not_ generate notifications) to run your plugin. Build the test nag with its own prefix and enable one of the DEBUG options to configure. You want to run Nag in the foreground (no -d) so you can see the debug messages. 2 Wrap your plugin in a /bin/sh script that logs the parameters and actions to another stream. You can find an example of doing this by searching Nag users on gmane (I know its there because I wrote it). Prob time to submit an FAQ about this. > If I change the script shell to #!/bin/sh instead, it DOES log itself > and returns the echo values just fine from both the command line and the > system. > > 1) Can anyone figure a way to get it to run properly under tcsh.

Last week I got a host down notification, I was not in the office, so I waited a few minutes for a host up notification, but I got none. Then I asked a colleague by phone what the state of this host really is. The host was up and ok. Next day I discovered the flapping message in the logfile, the host state was down and then changed to the flapping state. I found the following about flap detection in the docs: |1. Log a message indicating that the service or host is flapping |2. Add a non-persistent comment to the host or service indicating | that it is flapping |3. Supress notifications for the service or host (this is one of the filters | in the notification logic) | |When a service or host stops flapping, Nagios will do the following: | |1. Log a message indicating that the service or host has stopped flapping |2. Delete the comment that was originally added to the service or host when | it started flapping |3. Remove the block on notifications for the service or host (notifications | will still be bound to the normal notification logic) If I understand this right, there is no way to get a host up notification, if the host was down at moment the flap detection happend? That's a bit anoying, especially when you are not in the office. I took a quick look at the nagios 2.x docs | Flapping notifications - Notifications are now sent out when flapping | starts and stops for hosts and services. This feature can be controlled | using the f option in the notification_options for contacts, hosts and | services. Is there any way to realize this with nagios 1.2? Maybe and existing patch? If not, is nagios 2.0b1 (still called beta release) stable enough for production environment? How complicated is an update from 1.2 to 2.0b1, especially the config files?
