The actual limitation is 4k at the named pipe.  This is a hard limit for a
FIFO configured in the Linux kernel.

Hi, I've got the patch for you.=20

Without the commenting out the LOG ROTATION text, the patch did not worke= d

really, I spent 2 days with it, but did not find the reason. Some idea = was
the computer load, but rotation is pending at 00:00, when the compute= r

much to work - I have 196 machines, 276 services. I would not be in doub= t,
if the result of nagios check_ping would not be "Host seems to be up" =
(only  sometimes) - why?? Did nagios do the check or not??

Do you have an idea?

Hi,

You have to edit side.html. You can also edit index.html to use another
start page (service problem for example)

You can find them on /usr/share/nagios/htdocs (with debian)=20

First, would you mind if I comment on your performance syntax?  The=20
official syntax is:

'label'=3Dvalue[UOM];[warn];[crit];[min];[max]

Eg:

| metric1=3D1.0sec;2.0;3.0;0;4.0 metric2=3D1.0sec;2.0;3.0;0.0;4.0

Or a simpler version is also used by many plugins:

| metric1=3D1.0 metric2=3D2.0

See:

http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN185

If you use that, parsing programs like PerfParse will be able to=20
intemperate your output successfully.


Second, a check list of possible problems of why Nagios is not giving=20 you
the performance data.

Regards, Ben.



1. You are using the latest Nagios, 1.2.

2. You are using the latest nagios plugins.  Only these produce=20
performance data.  You can check this by running one, like 'check_disk'.=20
  If you have performance data, this should reply:

DISK OK - free space: / 8089 MB (22%); /boot 35 MB (76%) |=20
/=3D8089MB;33312;35163;0;37014 /boot=3D34MB;40;42;0;45

You can see the performance data beyond the '|'.

Download from:

http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot/nagios-plugins-HEAD-2004060805=
14.tar.gz

3. You have compiled nagios with the option to produce performance data.=20
  Using the '--with-file-perfdata'.  Ie:

./configure --with-file-perfdata

4. Set the permissions on the servicelog file as:
     -rw-rw-r-- nagios nagios
ie:
$ chmod 664 serviceperf.log
$ chown nagios.nagios serviceperf.log

5. Check 'nagios.cfg', ensure you have these lines somewhere:

process_performance_data=3D1
xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/hostperf.log
xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA=
$ xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$=
OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

6. In services.cfg, ensure this line is in all services you want to=20
monitor:  (Or the generic parent table.)

process_perf_data 1

7. In Nagios 'Process Info' page. At the bottom of the Process=20
Information box, ensure you have:

"Performance Data Being Processed?    Yes"

Hi,

Thanks for the grouplist hint. I just wanted to implement this into my
nagios, but it didn't worked quite well :-/ I did everything the way it's
explained in the README, but when i finish, i don't get this treeview on the
left, but only a (in my optinion totaly absurd) Link named "Service Detail
2" ??!! Do I have to edit something else there? Maybe you can mail me your
html files or something?

Thank you,
Philipp

Hi !

You have to use a client on that computer. NRPE or NSClient.
It is easy to do, give a look to www.nagios.org in the document section.

The real question you should ask is: how can I find information on 
Nagios without having to resort to the mailing list for all my questions...

For unix-servers, you can use either nrpe, ssh or nsca. Each of them 
have their own pros and cons, so you'll have to choose which one you like.
I favor NRPE, but I'm a bit biased.

For windows-servers, you can use either nrpe_nt or nsclient.

For netware servers, you have to use the mrtgext module.

For VMS systems, there is nrpe_vms (one separate project and one quick 
hack I wrote some while back, which is nrpe protocol 2 compliant).

Ofcourse, if any of the servers support snmp, you cat get a lot of 
information from that.

The plugins you'll be wanting to have a look at are;
check_nrpe
check_nt
check_by_ssh
check_nwstat
check_snmp

A word of caution though;
NSClient and MRTGEXT allows practically anyone to run the commands you 
have configured at the monitored host and receive the information back, 
thus gaining information about it.
NRPE allows practically anyone (with small coding skills) to run the 
commands you have configured, but he/she won't be able to get any data 
back without owning at least one of the routers on the way from your 
monitoring server to the monitored server.
SSH requires passphraseless keys to be present, meaning that if anybody 
unlawfully gains access to your monitoring server, he'll have no trouble 
what so ever gaining access to the servers you monitor.
NSCA uses the best encryption methods, but with weak authentication 
methods, possibly allowing remote and malice users to corrupt the data 
of your monitoring environment. It also requires that you understand how 
passive checks work, and you have to configure the nsca daemon and the 
send_nsca client as well.
SNMP has it's pros, ofcourse, and it's a widespread standard written in 
stone. The check_snmp plugin is however a bit limited, so you might want 
to write your own plugins if you use it. SNMPv3 is the safest option 
available here.

All this is ofcourse just theory. How your network is designed will 
probably determine what's best for you.

If you want to keep answering the same questions over and over again, 
that is your problem. I guess you have a lot of time to spare. I don't. 
I would like to have the noise on this list down so we can actually see

Hi,

I set up nagios with mysql, now NO problem with CGIs
the DB is up&running
the schema has been made by using the script in the distrib
I compiled and istalled nagios with db support using the following =
configure string:

 ./configure --prefix=3D/usr/local/nagios =
--with-cgiurl=3D/nagios/cgi-bin --with-htmurl=3D/nagios =
--with-nagios-user=3Dnagios --with-nagios-grp=3Dnagios =
--with-msyql-xdata --with-mysql-lib=3D/usr/local/mysql/lib =
--with-mysql-inc=3D/usr/local/mysql/include =
--with-gd-lib=3D/usr/local/lib --with-gd-inc=3D/usr/local/include


I configured cgi.cfg and resource.cfg as suggested in docs

with all parameters such as db name, db user, db port and so on

I have a doubt: what about log file in the configuration files?
I left setting for status.log and so on in nagios.cfg

nagios.cfg:log_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
nagios.cfg:status_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/status.log
nagios.cfg:comment_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/comment.log
nagios.cfg:downtime_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/downtime.log

I think I had to comment these lines in nagios.cfg....

but if I compile nagios with db support I expected to find those lines =
commented

what do you think about?

thanks

Antonella

Hi Philipp,

I had the same promlem. Check the grouplist.cgi:

line 10/11:
CFGFILES=3D`egrep -e "cfg_file=3D" $NAGIOSDIR/etc/nagios.cfg|cut -d "=3D"=
 -f 2`
CFGDIRS=3D`egrep -e "cfg_dir=3D" $NAGIOSDIR/etc/nagios.cfg|cut -d "=3D" -=
f 2`

and line 23:
                HOSTGROUPS=3D`egrep -e "hostgroup_name" $CFGFILE|awk '{pr=
int $2}'| tr "," " "`

I had to remove the ^ after egrep -e " and everything works fine!

Hi,

Thanks for the grouplist hint. I just wanted to implement this into my
nagios, but it didn't worked quite well :-/
I did everything the way it's explained in the README, but when i
finish, i don't get this treeview on the left, but only a (in my

Do I have to edit something else there? Maybe you can mail me your html

Sadly enough, that is exactly what I have been doing the last half year 
or so. As some can confirm, my level of interaction on this mailing list 
was quite a bit higher a while ago. But when so many people keep on 
asking the same questions over and over again, while they are SUPERBLY 
documented by Ethan and co both it the HTML docs and the FAQ's; and when 
apparently people find it normal not to use this documentation, you get 
to a situation that some active members can't see the forest for the 
trees and have to let go.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/toc.html

Posting the above link would have sufficed and gotten the message 
through while at the same time being a minimum of helpful.

Some of the users who are new to nagios today will be its major 
contributors tomorrow (figuratively speaking), so a little courtesy 
should be considered prudent.

Btw. You still haven't told me what GCC means in your mail name.

syslogd does a far better job than nagios would at logging everyday 
stuff. Nagios can be set to log every state-change, but i wouldn't want 
to think about the disk-space required to do so...

Frank,

The side menu is just and html document called side.html.  It's located
under /nagios/shared and is as easy to modify as any html document.  Just
open it up in vi and you should see the format and be able to change it as
you wish...

Subject: [Nagios-users] Modify Nagios menu on left side

I've noticed from Nagios screen shots on several sites (e.g.
http://apan.sourceforge.net/)  that users have been able to modify the =
menu
(on left side) to for example make sub categories below SERVICE DETAILS =
such
as unix-boxes, Windows-server, Mail, printers, etc. I was wondering how =
this
can be done and items placed into these sub categories below SERVICE
DETAILS?

Thank you,

Tom, you're right!
problem of this userlist is efficiency, if anyone would RTFM a lot of time 
wouldn't be spent on reading silly questions. 

I've posted more times about nagios-notifications with sms, i'm not able to 
find any suggestion to my problems in FAQ and DOC and no one reads my 
posting, so i have to live with the problem. If there is really a 
notification bug, it would be very helpfull for nagios, that someone shares 
my problem. I'm not a programmer, so i don't have a chance to fix it ...

Regards

Michael

Subject: [Nagios-users] Extended Service Information

Hi All,

I am trying, with very little success to get the extended service =
information to work in Nagios. I have spent the last few days trying to =
add the details to just one service, and no matter what I seem to do I =
just cannot get it to display. I have put my sample file below that I am =
working with:-

define serviceextinfo{
	host_name		adslfirewall
	service_description	PING
	notes_url		http://nagios/test2.html
	icon_image		win40.gif
	icon_image_alt		ADSL PING
	}

Can anyone give me any hints/tips on how I can get this working, I have =
read the documentation over and over and checked out the mailing-list =
but to no avail, I am using Nagios 1.2 on RedHat 9.0.

Thanks in advance

byte limitation
 ?

I've noticed that there is a limitation of 512 bytes for 
SERVICE_CHECK_RESULTs.  Where can I modify this?  I didn't see any 
configuration entries for it, so I grepped the code for 512 and can't 
seem to find the limitation.

Can anyone clue me in on how I can increase this?  I'm trying to send 
HTML back to nagios from nsca_send, and it quickly saturates the 512 bytes.

Thanks in advance..!

Hi all,

I finally find a solution of my problem.

In fact the check_command "check_nrpe_nossl" was defined in Commands=20
table of NagMin to accept arguments:
 $USER1$/check_nrpe_nossl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ $ARG3$=20
$ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$ $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$ $ARG10$ $ARG11$ $ARG12$ $ARG13$

However, my script doesn't call upon the arguments. So I create a new=20
command, that i called "check_nrpe_nossl_noarg", defined as this:
$USER1$/check_nrpe_nossl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$

Now, it works fine.

Carole.

  <pre wrap="">Hi,

In web interface of nagios (v 1.2), i obtain a status UNKNOWN with this
message: (No output returned from plugin)

If i execute the check_nrpe (v 2.0) in line command on server nagios, it
works well:
$ ./check_nrpe_nossl -H telline.cict.fr -c check_oracle
all databases OK

check_oracle is defined in nrpe.cfg as:
command[check_oracle]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_databases.sh

the check_oracle_databases.sh is a script i wrote to take dynamically into
account the file /etc/oratab to verify all databases 
that it contains. It calls the check_oracle scripts of core distribution of
nagios-plugins-1.4.0alpha1 that i modified a little.

I use NagMin 2.1.0 to configure nagios. So i define a service called
"Oracle" with the check command : <a
 onclick="window.open(" command.cgi/nagios/service/check_nrpe_nossl=""
 ,="" help=""
 
toolbar="no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,width=500,height=225,resizable=yes&quo
t;);"
 return="" false=""
 
href="http://lerins.cict.fr:10000/nagmin/command.cgi/nagios/Service/check_nr
pe_nossl">check_nrpe_nossl!check_oracle</a> 

In service.cfg:
define service {
    use    generic-service
    host_name    telline.cict.fr
    service_description    Oracle
    contact_groups    nagios-admins
    check_period    24x7
    notification_interval    2880
    notification_options    w,u,c,r
    notification_period    24x7
    check_command    check_nrpe_nossl!check_oracle
    max_check_attempts    3
    normal_check_interval    10
    retry_check_interval    1
}


I don't understand why it works in line commands on nagios server and that
it don't work if i define this service in nagios. 

Can you tell me where is the error? What am i doing? 

Please, help me....

Thanks.

Carole.

You didn't include the notification interval. A service will only

I would suggest upgrading MRTG to use rrd files instead of the logs. I
can't offer much assistance in the way of Nagios checking MRTG log
files, but for MRTG .rrd checking you should be able to use the
contributed plugins. I've also written my own check_rrdbw plugin that
will do something similar to what you are looking for. I'm sure that the
contributed ones work well, but they just didn't work the way I wanted
them to.

Upgrading MRTG to use RRDTool is not very hard at all. In a nutshell,
install RRDTool, and then add 'LogFormat: rrdtool' to your MRTG config
files. Your existing log files will be created as rrds automagically the
next time you start MRTG, so you shouldn't lose any historical data. I
believe that log files will be replaced by rrds in MRTG v3.0 anyway, so
you may want to look into them now. They also offer a lot more features
than log files.
If you should decide to go this route, I would suggest posting further
questions to the MRTG mailing list if necessary, then come back to
Nagios-Users if you still need help checking rrds once you've got
RRDTool up and running.

The external command file is implemented as a named PIPE. The amount of
data that this pipe can hold at any given time is defined by the kernel
of whatever OS you are running. Most flavors of linux implement a 512
byte pipe size I believe. If you want to adjust that you would need to
recompile your kernel after locating and changing that value. Be aware
that the change is global and would affect any program that uses a named
pipe so Your Mileage May Definitely Vary and the change may cause
unforeseen consequences. I believe there is further discussion of this
issue in the mailing list archives if you're interested (and it's always
a good idea to search there before posting).

There you go then; you'll get paged every 12 minutes while the service 
stays in a non-OK status.

one minute retries I would think it to be 6 minutes. Where does the 15
minutes come from????
