Subject: Confused on Intervals
Message-ID: <4092D545.3050104@leaplab.com>

Hello.  I'm a little confused as to which interval setting i should edit 
in nagios.cfg.  I want to change the time in which the system checks 
services for their status.

Has anybody ever actually used the -r regular expression and  -f (onredirect) option? As
far as I can tell, they just don't work, and the documentation    gives no information on
any  special  quoting..

By default, check_http downloads the entire web page. But id does not
follow any links - css, iframes, etc - that are normally part of a page.

You need tp use curl or perl LWP if you need to follow links like that.

Forgot the second part of your question - check_http does pass perfdata,
so the perfdata hooks in nagios should work to collect data for
graphing.

We are already using Nagios 2.0 compiled from CVS and have not
experienced any problems. In my opinion, it is already usable, even in
production environments.

Message-ID: <20040502074717.99396.qmail@web12407.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi All
does anyone have any experience with this. We
currently use nagios to monitor our network devices
and servers and receive SMS (via Gnocki) messages when
things go down. Is it possible to do the same for UPS
traps so that when input power is cut to a UPS the
trap sent to nagios could generate a SMS in the same
way.
thanks in advance
John

Sure you have libgd installed properly and working? Sure you have nagios linked
against it?

Assuming someone named "joe" ack'd the SERVICE service on the server SERVER, using
the comment "I'm working on it.", exactly the following will happen:

The cgi will write the following two lines to the external command file
[DATE] ADD_SVC_COMMENT;SERVER;SERVICE;1;joe;ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I'm working on it
[DATE] ACKNOWLEDGE_SVC_PROBLEM;SERVER;SERVICE;1;I'm working on it

Nagios will read in the first line and put the service in an ack state, which will
postpone notifications on it, and optionally send an ack notification if you've
configured it to do so. 

Nagios will read in the second line and add a comment to the bottom of the service. 

You can check to see what happens when you click something in the interface by tail
-f'ing the external command file while you click the thingy.

The ack state should go away when the service changes into an ok state. The comment
will go away when you tell it to via the web front end under "comments"

You can force an ack to go away by navigating to the ack'd service and choosing
"Remove problem acknowledgement" from the command box on the left

Subject: Status map
Message-ID: <1083566518.4095e9b6a79f3@imp.inmics.fi>

I have approx. 100 hosts defined in nagios, and when I look status map with 
circular (marked up) layoyut, the hosts are layered on top of each other. This 
is basically an annoying issue as when I have a core switch as parent host, 
there is a lot of child hosts connecting to this device and one can't really 
make difference between the child hosts if you try to move mouse over the host 
icons to see the specific host status. If I change the scaling factor, if will 
only make graphics bigger, instead I would like to have more "space" for each 
host, even though it will require greater resolution to view the whole status. 
Is there any cure for this?

Gidday,
    I think you need too define within each host entry the 2D co-ordinates

Thank you for your response.

In fact, for the email problem, it was enough to correct the notify 
commands removing all the backslashes before the double-quote 
characters:  \" must be change to " instead.

I have got another problem with informations comprising a date that 
doesn't display correctly.

For example, in host status table, parameters "Last Update" is good but 
"Last Check", "Last State Change" display "Thu Jan 1 01:33:24 1970" and 
"Last Notification" displays "1970-01-01 01:00:00".

When i edit host status table for one host, i have the right data, those 
which correspond to my nagios mysql database. But when i
want save those informations, i obtain the following error message:

SQL update `hoststatus` set `host_name` = 'xxxx' , `host_status` = 'UP'
, `last_update` = '2004-05-03 14:58:07' , `last_check` = '2004-05-03
09:41:49' , `last_state_change` = '2004-04-30 17:21:36' ,
`problem_acknowledged` = '0' , `time_up` = '231570' , `time_down` = '0'
, `time_unreachable` = '0' , `last_notification` = '0' ,
`current_notification` = '0' , `notifications_enabled` = '1' ,
`event_handler_enabled` = '1' , `checks_enabled` = '1' , `plugin_output`
= '(Host assumed to be up)' , `flap_detection_enabled` = '1' ,
`is_flapping` = '0' , `percent_state_change` = '0.00' ,
`scheduled_downtime_depth` = '0' , `failure_prediction_enabled` = '1' ,
`process_performance_data` = '1' where failed : You have an error in
your SQL syntax near '' at line 1


I don't known how to solve this problem.

Can you help me, please?????

Hi all,
This is the first time I have configured nagios, but the problem is
that the alerts are not been sent to my email address mentioned in contacts.cfg
The OS is RH Linux 7.3 and it is a tar-ball install,

In fact,
# cat status.log
# Nagios 1.2 Status File
[1083594508] PROGRAM;1083486163;26821;1;0;1083522600;1;1;1;1;0;0;1;0

In my service.cfg I have,
define service{

[Note- The real IP is masked with x.x.x.x]

        pager                           pagenagios-admin at localhost.localdomain
        }

Can someone please tell me where exactly am I going wrong?

Thanks a lot for the help.

status.log doesn't report notifications.  However, nagios does log that
to syslog, so you might want to check /var/log/messages and see if it
reports a notification.

Nothing jumped out at me.  You may want to take a look at your notify
commands.  I'd also suggest checking your mail logs (/var/log/maillog)
and see what it says about the email attempt.

I assume from shantanu-nagios@ that you use qmail. I'd verify that qmail-send was
alive, then check /var/log/mail/info on the nagios server to see if nagios is at least
trying to send mail. if not I'd check nagios.cfg to make sure enable_notifications was
on globally, and verify in the web interface that it thinks notifications are enabled,
in the tactical overview, and the notifications section. 

Good luck.

You may be right, but it seems that the "autogen" functionality is still broken. The spacing fix would work when you change parent relationships without having to redefine the coords.

Is the host member of some hostgroup ? I had this same problem and as
soon as I defined a hostgroup, the alerts started to work.
Don't forget to define " contact_groups  lin-admins" in your hostgroup
properties.

Yes I read it. I did as it said. I just had to add this to my httpd.conf

Alias /nagios/ "/usr/local/nagios/share/"
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/share>
Options None
AllowOverride AuthConfig

Allow from all

Is this all needed? I am still getting the error. I am not that
good in apache.

Just because you autenticated doesn't mean you are authorized.  You need to

Got it now. I was going to, 
http://<ip>/nagios/nagios

Well but now whenever I try to access any host detail, service detail etc.
I get,

It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any
of the hosts you requested...
If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.


I have only one username and password in htpasswd.users file and that
is the one I use to log in. What is the error here now?

Thanks Samba for the help.

Check the file misccommands.cfg

In there you specify how Nagios generates and sends the e-mail.  Get it
working through command line first then get Nagios to do it.

Well, for now I have removed authentication for user permission with,

use_authentication=0
It is working now.

My main problem is that notifications are not been sent. My mail server
(qmail's) log do not show anything.

>From "tactical overview" and "notification" section I guess that 
notifications are enabled.
Can you help here?

Ok my next step would be to make sure the mail commands as they are setup in
misccommands.cfg work by running them manually on the command line. I don't see
anythins specifically in your configs that would prevent notifications from being
sent, but there are several reasons why a notification would not go out.. The best
methodical troubleshooting guide is
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html

Of paticular interest is "what filters must be passed in order for notifications to be
sent?"  This should take you step by step to verify your config. 

Good luck!

You have 

enable_notifications=1

in the nagios.cfg file?


Does the web interface show it sending the notifications ?

Well, I checked it, it is,
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

It is pretty awkward command to test by command line. But, I can do,

echo test | /bin/mail -s "test" shantanu at example.net

and it works properly.

You have any other idea for the same?

With regards,
Shantanu

I would kill all the nagios processes and verify they are ALL gone.  I've
heard of multiple Nagios "instances" running that could cause problems like
these.

You bet.
enable_notifications=1
enable_event_handlers=1
enable_flap_detection=0
 
> Does the web interface show it sending the notifications ?

In notification tab it does say that notifications are sent.

Thanks.

ps wwaux would probabaly work better if you installed in a 'long' path, 
or simply 'pidof nagios'

Check that the paths are correct in the misccommands.cfg file. Run the 
command EXACTLY (yes, with all that text, and you have to expand the 
macros yourself) as it says in there, as the user the nagios process is 
running as. If that works but nagios still fails, you might want to 
start looking for an exorcist.

Set debug=1 in /etc/nrpe.cfg and watch what happens in whatever log your syslogd is
sending it's daemon facility messages to.  

Good luck.

The answer you will most likely get on this list is that you can do one of the
following things

a. define parent relationships to spread things out a bit
b. Define your own corrdinants 

I had your problem a while back and ended up kludging the statusmap.c file to stagger
the hosts on certain rings (mostly the innermost ring). It's a really ugly kludge, and
doesn't look right unless you turn off the green slots by using the non marked-up
version of circular. But it solved my problem and staggered the hosts so that they
were readable. Here's a diff

Subject: Nagios Issues "ConnectData Failed"
Message-ID: <784A12BC71EF2C42B996EFB2BC40312098DE18@contit-mlb-mx2.continuumit.com.au>

Hi there,

 

I get the error "ConnectData Failed" on one W2k-server, nsclient on this
box worked fine

for months before. 

10 other servers also work fine and there is no common Perflib-errors on
this

server.

 

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it again but doesn't work
still.

 

 

Does anybody have any clue why this is happening to this particular w2k
server? From the Nagios server, it keeps reporting "Connection Refused
by Host" and on the server, it has the above error message.

 

 

Regards,

Lendra Tanujaya

Hi

This happends because the port that nsclient uses is busy with 
(probably) active dir communication, change the port of the nsclient to 
something higher (i use 7689) , and change the setup in the nagios 
checkcommands to the new port (-p 7689) , this will solve your problem.

Can you send ANY emails through the 'mail' command? Also, make 
absolutely sure that the command
mail -s "subject" recipient at email.domain
returns you to the prompt when you run it. If it asks for Cc: or 
anything else equally ridiculous you have to alter your /etc/mail.rc file.
What MTA are you using? Is it set up properly, and is it running?

What user is trying to log on to the server? Presumably the unix nagios 
user. Have you tried doing a manual ssh as that user?

Let's make a few assumptions here. Your Nagios server is called HostA, 
and the user nagios is running as is called UserA. The server you want 
to monitor is called HostB, and the user you want to run the check as is 
called UserB.

On HostB:
In your /etc/ssh/sshd_config (or wherever your distro places it) make 
sure these lines are present and uncommented;

Protocol 2
PubKeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys

Protocol can actually read 1,2 or 2,1 as well, as long as the 2 is in 
there somewhere. When these changes are done, restart the ssh server 
(not required if run from inetd or xinetd).


On HostA:
Make sure the /etc/ssh/ssh_config (or wherever your distro places it) 
contains the following lines. They are somewhat default, but depend a 
bit on compilation options and your distro might do things differently, 
so it's best to enable it specifically;

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa
Protocol 2

Protocol can actually read 2,1 as well (but not 1,2 since client selects 
protocol by order).

On HostA, as UserA, run this command
ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 768
and slam enter three times.
Still on HostA, as UserA, run this command
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub UserB at HostB:.ssh/authorized_keys
and enter the password.

Now, test it with running
ssh UserB at HostB
and you MUST be logged in without entering a password. If not, you 
haven't followed instructions correctly or either the ssh-client on 
HostA or ssh-server on HostB is unable to handle SSHv2 protocol.

Subject: new install, ping services not working
Message-ID: <75DEB1F7BFA6D711922A0020781E86F127C559@EXCHANGE>

I've recently set up nagios and am enjoying a number of the things it is
capable of.  I'm having trouble setting up any services to do a "ping" of a
host.  Below is what I think are the appropriate sections of my .cfg files

define service {
        host_name               r.1
        service_description     ping-first-hop-router
        check_command           check_ping
        max_check_attempts      8
        normal_check_interval   6
        retry_check_interval    1
        check_period            always
        notification_interval   0
        notification_period     always
        notification_options    w,u,c,r
        contact_groups          admin
}

define host {
        host_name               r.1
        alias                   Router Hop 1
        address                 66.0.192.246
        max_check_attempts      8
        notification_interval   0
}

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  routers
        alias           Routers
        contact_groups  admin
        members         r.1, r.2
}

I have three services set up just like that, and in nagios it says:
"check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage!"
I assume that the check_ping plugin is not functioning properly.  I'm quite
sure my plugins in general are working, because the one non-ping service I
have set up is in an OK state in nagios.

Have I configured something incorrectly?  Any other leads?  Thanks in
advance!

May I see the line from your checkcommands.cfg file for check_ping?

Should be the default:

# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_ping
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c

Specify your warning and critical levels, for example here is mine.

define command{
        command_name    check_ping
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w 600:20% -c 1000:100% -p 1
        }

sounds ling something is hosed with the macros $ARG1$ $ARG2$

Hope this helps.

Don't you love when someone answers their own question? =)
Some clarity hit me, so I started looking at the sample configs, and working
on things from the CLI.
In short, yes I had things configured wrong.  I was giving no arguments to
check_ping .  check_ping was also not operating properly.

In short, I fixed my config (based on the sample), installed a copy of
check_ping from an RPM, and made it suid because my host doesn't allow
non-priveleged users to ping.

Wala my hosts are up!  Thanks for the pointers to all who gave some.

I've recently set up nagios and am enjoying a number of the things it is
capable of.  I'm having trouble setting up any services to do a "ping" of a
host.  Below is what I think are the appropriate sections of my .cfg files

Subject: configuration files
Message-ID: <1083684645.555.46.camel@arwen>

Hi, i have installed nagios for the first time almost succesfully.
I have configured nagios through the configuration files:
nagios.cfg
cgi.cfg
hosts.cfg
etc.....
The problem is that I enabled notifications through this files, and when
I acces the web interface  notifications are not enabled. 
Then I have enabled the notifications through the web interface and the
notifications begun to work.
It seems that there is another place where this settings are stored; but
where ??

Thanks in advance

Message-ID: <CF0E14BE-9DE2-11D8-824E-000A95CD8036@netoxygen.ch>

Hi all,

I monitor about 12 different services on a remote windows host using 
nrpe plugin and nrpe_nt on the windows side. When I use the "Schedule 
an immediate check of all services on this host" I always get some 
error messages: connections refused by host for a few services but not 
all... (in normal operation all checks work fine, it seems not to be a 
cpu problem)

Too many concurrent connections are made to my windows box ?

Any ideas how I could solve this ?

Thanks, Greg

That's my cuestion if this values are not stored in those files, where

ping on your OS doesn't timeout unless you pass it a switch that isn't
in the default ping command defined for check_ping.  Do "man ping", find
out what you need to change, test ping from the command line to check
that you've found the right switches, redefine the ping command in the
plugin source, recompile.

Modifications made via the web interface are transient and are _not_
written to the config files. If you have state_retention enabled then
that's likely your 'problem'. Please see the 'Retention Notes' section
of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html. Also, please
try to post to the list using plain-text as opposed to HTML formatted

Marco,

That works fine. Thank you

By the way, have you come across an issue with Nagios reporting with the
error "Invalid Drive" while it was checking the Disk space on a drive C
and D on the server. 

I have checked that those Drive C and D, does exist on the server.

Hi

This happends because the port that nsclient uses is busy with 
(probably) active dir communication, change the port of the nsclient to 
something higher (i use 7689) , and change the setup in the nagios 
checkcommands to the new port (-p 7689) , this will solve your problem.

Not an error as such, but I am confused.

I have everything setup as it should, or so I think, but disabling 
checking on hosts "appears" to work and it shows up in the logs BUT 
neither the tactical overview nor any of the other other displays 
available on the web interface say that checking has been disabled .... 
so how do I know it has been done ? have I missed something in the 
installation and/or configuration ?

Currently running v1.2 on a Mandrake 9.2 box and quickly learning Nagios.
The company I work has an increased demand for monitoring services.  Has
anyone worked out good hardware specs for a box to run this?  I'm going to
be monitoring over a thousand hosts across a nation wide WAN.

Additionally I've had a problem adding hosts to my database.  When adding
hosts I would like to be able to add services by just selecting a service
group.  On the line that says service group there is no drop down nor manual
entry field.  Any ideas on how I get that field to be live or another way I
can add a service group to a host?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I will I am new to Nagios, I used to run netsaint.

But I decided to start this install from scratch and go step by step 
through the instructions. I am running this on a Debian 3.0

After a few hours or reading and configuring I have Nagios monitoring some 
basic stats but I notices I am missing a few CGIs that the main Nagios web 
page has links to.

So far here is what I have noticed missing:

/usr/local/nagios/sbin/

trends.cgi
histogram.cgi 
statusmap.cgi

did I do something wrong?

Thank You!

Hello,

  

  I am attempting to send out email notifications through my exchange
server.  The sendmail configuration, which used to work, is configured
to forward SMTP to the internal address of my mail server.  I am
allowing relaying from the Linux IP address.  I get no errors in the
notification log yet I never receive the mail at the exchange server.
Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!

I have a question for you guys.  Where is historical data stored on a Nagios
system with database capabilities turned on?  I see that comments, downtime,
extinfo, retention, and status data is stored in MySQL database I configured
it for.  But is there more data?  For example is there a running log of
events and changes?  I see that there is a nagios.log file in the nagios/var
directory.  Is that it?

Has anyone figured out a way to store that nagios.log file in a MySQL
database?

/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log and /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/*
for a standard install.

It can be done through a number of different ways (post processing of
the log files, DB triggers, OCSP, etc). You would need to create your
own table schema and CGI's/scripts to insert and utilize that data of
course. It is not supported by the main distribution and the CGI's will
not be able to access or use that data unless they are re-written.
Nagios would also continue to happily write to the existing log files.

If what little I think I understood from that is correct, then this 
sounds like network trouble to me. Are you sure the two hosts are on the 
same subnet, or otherwise have proper routes between them? Make sure to 
check the netmasks. Two hosts on the same switch doesn't necessarily 
have to be on the same logical subnet.

Subject: Nagios Missing Passive Checks
Message-ID: <C1DCF69E42433846AF6FFF1003A85B7F2BC997@miniwheats.tobinsolutions.com>

I am running Nagios with mostly passive services and nsca/send_nsca.  I
have a service that gets triggered when an event occurs on a client
machine, and when the event happens, it passes two passive checks to
Nagios, one to turn the service to a Warning state and one to turn it to
an OK state (to trigger the event handler).  It will always send in two
checks, and they will occur back to back.  I have noticed that
occasionally, it misses one of the checks.  Because it misses the check
in, it fails to call the event handler, which is the most important
part.  I log everything I send with send_nsca, and it logs both checks.
I don't log passive service checks, because this would result in such a
large event log.  Why does this happen and what can I do to fix it?
Here are some variables in my nagios.cfg file:

 

check_external_commands=1

command_check_interval=-1

max_concurrent_checks=0

service_reaper_frequency=10

 

Do I need to switch any of these values or is there something else I
need to do?  Thanks for any help

 

David

Anyone know of a way to see hosts or services that have been placed in 
downtime? After they have come out of downtime.

Thanks,
Spencer

Like below?

grep DOWNTIME /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/*

nagios-01-05-2003-00.log:[1041490815] SERVICE DOWNTIME ALERT: <HOST
REMOVED>;PING;STARTED; Service has entered a period of scheduled
downtime
nagios-01-05-2003-00.log:[1041512401] SERVICE DOWNTIME ALERT: <HOST
REMOVED>;PING;STOPPED; Service has exited from a period of scheduled
downtime
(and so on...)

That's the quickest way. It's also available via the Availiablity CGI
(Service Log Entries) as long as your report period contains the
downtime window. 

05-05-2004 01:00:21 05-05-2004 13:20:09 0d 12h 19m 48s+ SERVICE DOWNTIME
START Start of scheduled downtime 

(This particular one hasn't ended yet.)

Thanks for the reply Randie.  It's pointing me in the right direction to
justify a purchase to my VP.  

As far as the database problem we are running Nagios 1.2 with MySQL 4.0.15.
I don't know if it is a problem with the database or with Nagios.  The
annoying thing is that I can see where my boss assigned service groups to
certain hosts but when I edit those entries it still has nothing listed for
service groups.  If I end up not being able to add a service group through
the web interface, does anyone know to which CFG file I would add it?  I
crawled through the host.cfg and service.cfg and didn't find anything in
there (I admit that I may have overlooked it).

Rob,

I don't know if this helps but I'm using nagios to monitor about 1300 sites 
and about 2000 services.  The box I'm using is a compaq PIII 800 Mhz SCSI.  
The machine is also gather MRTG stats every 5 minutes.  I haven't had any 
problems with the system keeping up with monitoring all the sites.  I think 
alot of what you will need depends on how often you are monitoring all your 
services(ie every 5 minutes, or every hour).  I have services that are 
monitored every 15 to 60 minutes.  I think the best thing to get would be 
something with alot of speed and fast hard drive access, that way all the 
services checks would be done as quickly as possible.  

I'm not to sure about your database problem.  What type of database are you 
using, and what version of nagios are you running?

Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

Don't forget you need a whole wad of memory. More the more database and 
'extras' you enable at compile time, since nagios fork()'s for every 
check being executed.

I'm getting a strange error.

When I run check_nrpe from the command line, it returns the expected 
values, but when I add it to my config files. it continues to give the 
ssl handshake error.

Am I missing something in the service configuration.  Does anyone have 
a good set of sample code for using NRPE?

Thanks

Shane

Subject: Integration of Nagios into Trouble-Ticket-Systems (OTRS)
Message-ID: <1083836937.2568.55.camel@blindzero>

Dear List,

I am quite unhappy with our integration of Nagios into
our Trouble-Ticket-System (OTRS).
With the standard standard mail functionality of Nagios
it is quite uncomfortable as every mail creates a new
ticket.

Thats why I wanted to ask if somebody has experiences in
integration Nagios into a Trouble-Ticket-System, especially
into OTRS?
Has somebody figured out the best way and the stumbling
blocks for the integration?

The optimum would in my eyes would be some ticket opening
on WARNINGS or ERRORS, the automatic ticket closing on
RECOVERYs and the changes of the agent who is working on
the problem with some comment, when acknowleding a problem.

Thanks for all input,

Matthias

The core Nagios distribution does not support storing of config
information in a database. In fact, all database support was supposed to
be dropped from the main distribution in 2.0 but it looks like most of
it is going to hang on for a little while longer. There are several
tools that can be downloaded from
http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php (Naui, Nagmin, etc) that allow
you to modifiy config information in a database and then translate that
to the nagios config file format. As far as database support in general,
Ethan has written an event broker daemon that will allow custom modules
to receive and process any type of data they register for (but not
config data afaik). This can be used to process all of the same status
information that is currently stuck in databases and more. That way
Ethan doesn't need to maintain 3 different data storage mechanisms in
code and opens up the ability to store the data in any kind of system
that can be communicated with by the nagios host without core code
changes. There used to be some detail on the Upcoming page but it looks
like it's been moved/removed. You can always search the list archives if
you're interested in more information.

I've integrated Nagios with the TeamTrack trouble ticketing system.
To do this, I created two new contacts, one called noc_failure, and
another called noc_recovery. 

The noc_failure contact sends service notifications on Warning &
Critical, and host notifications on Down.

The noc_recovery contact sends service notifications on Critical,
Warning, Unreachable, & Recovery, and host notifications on Unreachable
& Recovery.

The email addresses (different address for failure and recovery) were
created by the NOC, and open and close tickets in the TeamTrack system.
Unfortunately, I can't offer much insight on how this is accomplished,
as I don't deal with that system on a regular basis.

Two caveats:
1) I believe that Nagios generates warnings or possibly errors if the
noc_recovery contact does not have Critical and Warning Service
notification options. I'm not sure if this is still the case, as I have
not made any changes since upgrading to 1.2, but I'm pretty sure that
this is what happened when I originally set it up under 1.1.
2) Acknowledgements will open a separate trouble ticket in the TeamTrack
system. I have not taken the time to determine if Acks are treated as
Service Warnings, Service Criticals, or Host Down notifications, but
instead recommended that the NOC filter out emails with Ack in the
subject.

I looked into monitoring a SAN with MCDATA fibreswitches and EMC Clariion 
- there was minimal fault data - a couple of SNMP traps and interface 
status.

It was more useful to monitor the disk mount mounts on the host and the 
SAN traffic using Cricket/MRTG...

I've been trying to fix this issue, so I downloaded
nagios-1.2 from tgz and built it.
I copied /sample-config/template-object/misccomands.cfg
to /etc/nagios ( this is the config location of the
rpm file ).

I also changed the notify line so I made sure this file
is being used for sending the request:

  ** PROBLEM alertdamnsure - ServerName/ is  **
                  ^^^^^^^^                   ^- empty !

I haven't noticed any change, misccomands.cfg is okay
so it looks like somewhere else nagios fails to pass
the service and status info to the command.

Anything else I could check ?

Greetings!!

I have the cgi.cfg with

physical_html_path=/usr/share/nagios

and I have the images/logos in that directory, but still I am not seeing the 
logos on the nagios.

Here is the sample EXTENDED HOST INFORMATION.

hostextinfo[tyler]=http://www.sun.com;sunlogo.gif;sunlogo.gd2;sunlogo.gd2;Solaris 
8.0;50,2000;0.5,0.5,0.5

I have the followinf config in httpd.conf for the virtualhost
----------------------------------------------------------
<Directory /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/>
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
    Alias /nagios/ /usr/share/nagios/
<Directory /usr/share/nagios/>
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>
-----------------------------------------------------------

it was working with netsaint, but not able to get the logos working after 
the migration to nagios.

What else should I check for getting the logos working.



Please help.



Thanks,

Kiran.

Hello there,

WebUI's menu STATUS-> SESSIONS->End User Summary shows Current End User Sessions: 400(IPSEC)
If I want to get the number of Current End User Sessions thru SNMP, which MIB/OID, I should use. 
I was considering interfaces.ifNumber.0 (MIB), .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1 (OID) should be right. some days back it was showing same number (+/- 5%). I verified it by loggin in and out, number was changing at that time. but now above MIB is giving me value "3".
Something is wrong somewhere, please advice me which MIB/OID I should use for getting "Current End User Sessions" of "Nortel Contivity Extranet Switch (CES4500D)"

Thanks

I had a similar problem, and it was because I didn't have openssl installed
on the client when I compiled nrpe.  so the client wasn't capable of ssl,
and yet check_nrpe was expecting it to be.  I wonder if there's a
configurable parameter somewhere that Nagios passes to check_nrpe to tell it
to force the use of ssl?

I'm getting a strange error. 


When I run check_nrpe from the command line, it returns the expected values,
but when I add it to my config files. it continues to give the ssl handshake
error. 


Am I missing something in the service configuration. Does anyone have a good
set of sample code for using NRPE? 


Thanks

Perhaps you should try modeling your hostextinfo.cfg after this..

define hostextinfo{

Nagios has an automatic "host" level check built in.  If the service
check fails, Nagios will check whether the host is up or not via the
check host command.

In other words, you're probably duplicating what Nagios already does if
you have the host check commands working correctly.

In our reasoning, warning/critical/down/etc should prompt human
investiagtion.  Then upon investigating, that person will enter an
acknowledgement in Nagios to silence the alarm, which also triggers our
ticket system to generate a ticket.  

Services that go into problem states and then resolve themselves without
human intervention are logged in monitoring logs but our staff isn't
burdened with managing a ticket for that issue.  

Between Nagios and our Ticket System, our users can monitor how productive
their machines and their personel are, respectively.

I have recently migrated from Netsaint to NagiOS monitoring tool.  Old
netsaint was configured with several hosts , host groups , contacts.Is there
any easy way to migration the old configuration / data to newly configured
NagiOS.
 
Any tool / script / utility for easy configuration migration. Old netsaint
configuration was in a single file where new NagiOS has separate file for
each host, host group, contacts. 
 
Download URL is highly appreciated.

The mysterious --ssl switch can be used to force ssl.
The non-documented -n switch can be passed to force non-ssl mode.

Try www.nagios.org
If it isn't there (download :: extras), it probably doesn't exist.

Subject: build custom rpm with nagios-plugins and nagios-plugins-extras
Message-ID: <20040507144413.7d1e7b3e.chris.armstrong@cablecom.ch>

Hi all

I'm trying to build a custom nagios-plugins rpm package for RedHat but there are some things i can't figure out.
Don't tell me to use the existing RPM packages. My company won't allow it :-|

I have seen, that two packages are needed. One is nagios-plugins that contains the basic plugins and one is nagios-plugins-extras that contains the custom plugins like check_snmp.

I have seen, that check_snmp.c is also in the plugins directory of the nagios-plugins source and i can't find any nagios-plugins-extras tar.gz file anywhere on google or nagios.org.

Questions:
-------------------------------------------------
-> Does this mean that check_snmp and all of these plugins got included in to the nagios-plugins tar.gz file?

-> Or where can i get the nagios-plugins-extras tar.gz file? 

-> What do i need to build these extra plugins?

When i use the nagios-plugins.spec file that is included in the nagios-plugins source, then i get following error:

+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
+ cd nagios-plugins-1.3.0
+ DOCDIR=/var/tmp/nagios-plugins-buildroot/usr/share/doc/nagios-plugins-1.3.0
+ export DOCDIR
+ rm -rf /var/tmp/nagios-plugins-buildroot/usr/share/doc/nagios-plugins-1.3.0
+ /bin/mkdir -p
 /var/tmp/nagios-plugins-buildroot/usr/share/doc/nagios-plugins-1.3.0
+ cp -pr INSTALL README REQUIREMENTS COPYING ChangeLog command.cfg /var/tmp/nagios-plugins-buildroot/usr/share/doc/nagios-plugins-1.3.0

    File not found: /var/tmp/nagios-plugins-buildroot/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hpjd

When i read the INSTALL file from the source of nagios-plugins i see that you can specify different extras by using ./configure --enable-<something>. So i have tried to compile manually as following: ./configure --enable-check_snmp but this didn't work.
I have additionally read that the enable options are documentated in the README file but couldn't find a description about this options.

Can you give me some hints on this?

Thanks
Chris Armstrong

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.53.0405070834240.29121@sibelius.chartermi.net>

Hi Folks:

I have nagios 1.1 on a couple of boxes and have a ping test defined in the 
checkcommands file that will wrap the output in a URL using urlize.   
Basically the URL is broken with characters being eliminated.

For example we get lovely things like the following
TEST :a 
href=https://localhost/cgi-bin/traceroute.cgi?test/a 

This is after removing <> from the illegal character specification in 
nagios.cfg.

What could I possibly be missing?

Srs,

I have a doubt about services in Nagios. Can I check if service is up to 80%
utilization. Can I send a alert when this happen
For example I have a server with apache running, when the service reach a
80% utilization the service stop. 

Thanks,

Subject: check_ping & check_fping replacement without requirements
Message-ID: <409B8F4C.4090200@op5.se>

Hey all.

I've rewritten check_fping completely.
Features / Improvements;
Includes the code from fping (in a modified state) instead of calling it 
and parsing the output.
Takes care of 'Unable to parse ping output' and such.
Fixes the 1 second maximum threshold value in check_fping, which was 
hardcoded in the fping source.
Removes the ridiculous appearance of precision down to a millionth of a 
millisecond (0.1000000 RTA), and instead gives proper and valuable 
output in a sensible manner.
Both check_ping and check_fping command line syntax works just fine, so 
it could be used to replace either one (-n and -p both denote number of 
packets to send).

Drawbacks;
Requires root privileges for raw sockets (if run setsuid it drops 
privileges again after obtaining the socket). This is common to all ping 
programs though.

ToDo:
Parallellize packet sending. This requires a different packet identity 
encoding algorithm, as well as some manner of delay so that hosts don't 
think they're being flooded, so I'll wait a while with this.

Please send info on any and all bugs you find to ae-n0Zl8IkGad4 at public.gmane.org

Yes

The reason for the extra plugins package is that these plugins have
special dependencies (snmpget, fping, mysql libs, etc).  So, they put
them all in a special package so that people could install all the other
plugins without having to worry about uncommon dependencies.  If you're
building your own package for only your use, I'd suggest just making one
package, and leaving out the plugins you don't need.

IIRC the configure for building the plugins checks for the requirements
for those plugins, and doesn't build them if they're not there.  So, if
you want snmp, make sure net-snmp-utils is installed.  For the ones you
don't need, I'd recommend just removing them from your spec file.

Yes. The reason for putting them in different packages is that some 
require packages to be installed that aren't on all systems. check_snmp 
requires net-snmp (or at least snmpget) to be present, so it's not 
included with the 'standard' plugins. This all gets sorted by the 
./configure script though, so when building from source it's not a 
problem. When installing from rpm, the Requires: list would get loooong.

There is none. See above.

net-snmp 5.x, qstat (if you mean to monitor gameservers running quake3 
engines), fping (for check_fping, although I submitted a new program for 
that just a couple of minutes ago)

Good reading for you;
REQUIREMENTS (in the nagiosplugins-1.3.0 directory)

These plugins aren't being built because you don't have the development 
libraries and headers for postgresql and mysql, the net-snmp package and 
the fping binary installed.

Assuming you are sending email out from Nagios using sendmail on the 
Linux box did you see the emails being processed in sendmail's log? That 
way you know Nagios is OK (or not) and if the problem is really your 
sendmail talking to exchange.

Have thought I saw a post regarding problems setting the command check 
interval to -1, IIRC the docs indicate that YMMV with this (if that is 
not too many TLAs ;-) ). Try searching the archives for a recent thread 
titled...

"Passive check reception in nagios-1.2 does not scale"

On the development list.

I'd like to see some of these plugins, if you don't mind. New plugins

Are you meaning to remove the fork()? If so, how do you suspect nagios 
to run several checks at once? Your 755 seconds would (at best) take 400 
seconds to complete without some sort of parallellization.
Or are you meaning to remove the exec()? That can't be done without 
removing the fork() as well, and then we're back with the bloated memory 
hog nagios isn't today (at least not without database support and other 
bling-bling).

External plugins is the foremost power of nagios. If everybody would 
have to write C modules (like for apache), only very few people would be 
competent enough to manage that, and we would take a wide step back in 
nagios' evolution before we managed to rewrite all the perl and sh 
scripts as modules to nagios (not to mention the code in nagios itself).

Even if you implemented the code for every check in nagios, all you'd 
save would be the exec() call. This at the price of stripping nagios of 
its most powerful feature; flexibility beyond belief.

> most of the data is the same all the time, so why not to just cache it?

Because you need it fresh to be valuable. This would work very nicely 
for stateful tcp connections, but how does one go about checking 
web-pages? HTTP is a stateless protocol, and I don't suspect the world 
to change that because someone wants to write a program that already 
exists and work with current standards.

Parsing arguments and setting threshold values are done in a blink and 
requires little if any CPU power. Obtaining a socket and requesting a 
connection is also very light on both CPU and memory. If you want to 
optimize something, work on things that need it.

In a fork()ed process, I'm sure you mean. If it's just waiting, it can't 
do something else, which means 10 seconds of doing nothing while a 
socket times out because a webserver is down, and another 10 just to 
determine that the server actually IS down, and not just IIS fucking up 
again.

It makes a huge difference, actually. You can't make a program do two 
things at once without threading one way or another.

Three reasons, all highly thought of;

Subject: Migration from Netsaint to NagiOS
Message-ID: <370ACCFA5BB3B346A31222E5559BF91F1B629C@mismail2.ena.com>

In the distribution contrib directory is a file named convertcfg.c.
You'll need to compile it as below but it will convert from the old
format to the new template format. You can then split out the
definitions among different files however you like.

bash-2.05a$ gcc -o convertcfg convertcfg.c
bash-2.05a$ ./convertcfg --help
Nagios Config File Converter
Written by Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)
Last Modified: 04-21-2002

Usage: ./convertcfg <config file> <object type>

Valid object types include:

        timeperiods
        commands
        contacts
        contactgroups
        hosts
        hostgroups
        hostgroupescalationss
        services
        servicedependencies
        serviceescalations

        hostextinfo
        serviceextinfo

Notes:

This utility is designed to aide you in converting your old 'host'
config file(s) to the new template-based config file style.  It is
also capable of converting extended host and service information
definitions in your old CGI config file.

Supply the name of your old 'host' config file (or your old CGI config
file if you're converting extended host/service definitions) on the
command line, along with the type of object you would like to produce
a new config file for.  Your old config file is not overwritten - new
configuration data is printed to standard output, so you can redirect it
wherever you like.

Please note that you can only specify one type of object at a time
on the command line.

I have recently migrated from Netsaint to NagiOS monitoring tool.  Old
netsaint was configured with several hosts , host groups , contacts.Is
there any easy way to migration the old configuration / data to newly
configured NagiOS.
 
Any tool / script / utility for easy configuration migration. Old
netsaint configuration was in a single file where new NagiOS has
separate file for each host, host group, contacts. 
 
Download URL is highly appreciated.

Nevermind, my bad, the nagios.cfg likewise has an acceptable character for 
output macros, and that was where the problem was.   It is fixed.

Subject: Page Cannot Be Displayed Error After Enabling CGI/Authentication
Message-ID: <409B9FAA.9090606@cryptoflow.net>

Hi, running Nagios 1.2 on Debian.  After I enabled CGI authentication, I 
commonly encounter 'This Page Cannot Be Displayed' in IE and 'Document 
Contains No Data' in Mozilla.  Prior to that there were no issues.  The 
main Nagios interfaces shows just fine.  The problem only affects links 
to the menu items on the left pane such as status detail, host detail, 
etc.  Also, in IE I can right-click the links and open them in a new 
window and they come up just fine.  I did find FAQ ID F0222 submitted by 
Jack Yao and adjusted my config accordingly, still resulting in the same 
problems.  I've double-checked my configs a few times over and nothing 
seems out of order.  Any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks

Slade

If you can check it from the command line and can formulate the logic to
determine when you've hit 80% then yes, you can create a plugin for
Nagios that will work. You'll probably want to look at the Plugin
Developer Guidelines and information at
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Page Cannot Be Displayed Error After Enabling
CGI/Authentication

Hi, running Nagios 1.2 on Debian.  After I enabled CGI authentication, I

commonly encounter 'This Page Cannot Be Displayed' in IE and 'Document 
Contains No Data' in Mozilla.  Prior to that there were no issues.  The 
main Nagios interfaces shows just fine.  The problem only affects links 
to the menu items on the left pane such as status detail, host detail, 
etc.  Also, in IE I can right-click the links and open them in a new 
window and they come up just fine.  I did find FAQ ID F0222 submitted by

Jack Yao and adjusted my config accordingly, still resulting in the same

problems.  I've double-checked my configs a few times over and nothing 
seems out of order.  Any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks

Slade

You do know that Nagios isn't using the host_name but rather the
host_address as it appears in the host definition when executing the
service check, right? Have you tried using that and running check_tcp as
the nagios user as opposed to root? It seems to me that there is a
discrepency between those two addresses and the host_address doesn't
have anything listening on port 23.

Perhaps you should try modeling your hostextinfo.cfg after this..

define hostextinfo{
host_name hostname
icon_image win40.jpg
icon_image_alt Win 2K
vrml_image win40.png
statusmap_image win40.gd2
}

I assume you have checked to be certain the address in hosts.cfg for 
that particular host is entered correctly?  Is running tcpdump on your 
destination host (or connected firewall interface) an option?  At least 
you could verify whether or not it is actually checking the correct host 
that way, even if your host definition seems to be in order.  I can't 
imagine, though, that it would be checking the wrong host if your host 
definition is accurate.

Hello everyone:

 

I've gotten to the point where I have all my active checks and dependencies
setup for the entire infrastructure.    My question relates to passive
checks.   Can Nagios be setup to accept traps from routers for such things
as interface down, interface warning congestion, errors, etc...?   I've been
reading on passive checks and the only thing I can find is that nsca is the
product to use to receive passive checks.  Obviously a router can't run the
nsca client side.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks

Sorry to bother you but I did find the documentation on receiving traps
right after I had sent the original e-mail to the forum.   Would this be the
way to setup traps from my routers and would it accomplish what stated
below?    See the URL.  Thanks

Subject: autologin?
Message-ID: <1083955183.3326.18.camel@jstotler.fastinc.com>


I've enabled authentication on my Nagios installation to allow all the
various things that such behavior enables.

Nagios, in my environment, will be run by the helpdesk staff. I already
have a php system which authenticates each of these individual users,
and I need to add a link to nagios from within the helpdesk application
that will automatically log them in to Nagios.

If this were any of several other authentication types, I'd have no
problem scripting this, but I've not had to do such things with
htaccess/BasicAuth.

Any ideas out there?


thanks,
John

insecure, but if you are on a local lan it's okay.
standard http authentication method is:

http://user:password at www.hostname.com/

I've enabled authentication on my Nagios installation to allow all the
various things that such behavior enables.

Nagios, in my environment, will be run by the helpdesk staff. I already
have a php system which authenticates each of these individual users,
and I need to add a link to nagios from within the helpdesk application
that will automatically log them in to Nagios.

If this were any of several other authentication types, I'd have no
problem scripting this, but I've not had to do such things with
htaccess/BasicAuth.

Any ideas out there?


thanks,
John

Yes.  IP hidden but:

t-bone at 602744 [/usr/local/nagios/libexec]# sudo -u nagios ./check_tcp -H
xx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 23
TCP OK -   0.030 second response time on port 23|time=  0.030

Nagios can ping, and notes ping is up, for that host.  But cannot
check_telnet.  This is answering fine:

define service {
        host_name               XXXHOSTNAMEHEREXXX
        service_description     cisco
        check_command           check_ping!100.0:20%!500.0:60%
        max_check_attempts      4
        normal_check_interval   12
        retry_check_interval    1

Well, then you must be fortunate enough to be working in a business that
doesn't use IE. It works perfectly in Mozilla, but it looks like rather
than fix a security bug in IE, MS decided to pull that functionality
entirely.

Thanks, tho.

I applied the subject patch to nagios -1.2 (after a little fiddling).

The resultant build spews a few scary warnings, but in fact the code
just-works...and service checks DO run quite a bit faster...or, I should
say the code that nagios executes in order to build the service list
and execute those calls runs a lot faster...

However, my new 'stable state'  has ~180 nagios-spawned processes
running all the time...!!...I don't quite get-it...these processes are 
always
dying off and new ones being spawned...but why so frequently?!?

Before applying the patch, I would see 1-6 nagios processes running
once a startup had settled down...when checktime rolled around there
might be 20-30 processes, for a short time...

Currently I have no crit's; my services (3-4 per device; 1550 devices) run
every are set to check every 15 minutes...

Again...nagios seems to be functioning well!!...I just don't understand what
I'm seeing...and it worries me [:-}

Ron,

Since you're running "bleeding edge" Nagios stuff already with your
patch, why don't you just run 2.0 CVS?  We're running it here in
production

I haven't looked at the implementation yet, but it is exactly the
direction we were hoping to go - would you mind if we included it as
check_icmp in the core plugins?

Plugin team - how do you all feel about this?

Message-ID: <2FDA6C38B2BFD4119D2400D0B784BE6F06FC0770@stoexchange.state.fl.us>

Hello:

 

 

Can anyone look over my scripts in the word attachment and tell why the
"submit_check_result" script is not passing the information to Nagios.  It
could be because "handle-cisco-traps" script is not passing the trap
information to "submit_check_result" script.  I see the traps showing up on
the iptables firewall as allowed and the sniffer verifies it as well.  I've
gone to the extent to documenting  all scripts involved in this process and
I was wondering if anyone can help me that has more experience with
snmptrapd.   I'm fairly new at this.    I want to be able receive traps from
our core and cpe routers so it can set off alarms for various types of
traps.     Maybe you can point to more documentation.

 

Anything in red is what changes I made and on the submit_check_results, I
placed a statement to output the trap information to a log file just for a
test.   The log file never gets created because I fee that the script
"submit_check_result" never gets executed.   Included in the attachment is
also the sniffer capture.    Any help will greatly be appreciated.  Thanks
you.

Subject: Change "default" page?
Message-ID: <409C1D59.1010505@pbp.net>

Hi!

How easy is it to change the default page to the "Status Overview" page? 
I'd like to have that be the very first page to come up.

Also, is it possible to arrange stuff bu their hostgroup in the "Service 
Detail" page?

If I change the name of a host from bob.com to www.bob.com, it puts 
www.bob.com at the very bottom. It'd be neat to have it let me arrange 
them by their hostgroups..ie:

bob.com:
www.bob.com - HTTP
www.bob.com - PING
mail.bob.com - SMTP
mail.bob.com - PING

cow.com:
www.cow.com - HTTP
www.cow.com - PING


... you get the idea.. :)

Thanks!

Message-ID: <943B458A6A6E0540AD7D80D78DE371040367E314@exchange3.ubc.ca>

Anyone know where to find simple, easy instructions for installing the NRPE+Plugins for monitoring remote servers? Have everything setup on the Nagios server, but need to install the client side tools. These are Debian-based systems, and I've seen some
posts about Debian packages for NAGIOS-NRPE-SERVER: I managed to find and install the Debian package for NAGIOS-PLUGINS, but can't seem to find an APT Repository that has the NAGIOS-NRPE-SERVER package - so if anyone is running this on Debian can you
send exact APT repository to use?

Cheers
Steve

Hello, I was able to figure out what was causing the failure.  If you 
are running your Nagios box behind a Cisco running IOS/ firewall feature 
set and you have enabled Intrusion Detection in that feature set, you 
will possibly run in to the same behavior.  There's an audit rule 
numbered 5055 in IOS 12.3 called HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_OVFLOW_SIG.  I happened 
to check my Cisco logs (they're sent to a syslog daemon) and found the 
following entry:

May  9 17:16:18 hostname.blah.net/hostname.blah.net 35834: 3w3d: 
%IDS-4-HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_OVFLOW_SIG: Sig:5055:HTTP Basic Authentication 
Overflow - from source.ip.add.ress to destination.ip.add.ress

I disabled this audit rule to solve the problems described in the 
original mailing.   The IOS config looks like this:

ip inspect name ncinspect ftp timeout 60
ip audit info action alarm drop reset
ip audit attack action alarm drop reset

I suppose the easy way would be to set apache or whatever web server 
you are using to look at a different default page and then set that 
page up to be a redirect to the page you are actually looking for..

eg

set your DirectoryIndex to default in your httpd.conf (This is for 
apache)

DirectoryIndex default.html.html

content of default.html

<pre>
<head><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; 
URL=http://nagios.server/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all"></head>
<body>Redirecting</body>
</html>
</pre>

Hope this makes sense.

This is due to misconfiguration of the Apache webserver, or possibly of 
faulty permissions on the directories actually containing the files.

I suggest you turn to www.apache.org for help on how to make the 
web-server do as what you want.

It actually seems easier to me to just edit index.html and change the
second <FRAME SRC...> to point to the page you want --

To show the Status Summary as the default --

<FRAMESET BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0" COLS="180,*">
<FRAME SRC="side.html" NAME="side" TARGET="main">
<FRAME SRC="/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all" NAME="main">
</FRAMESET>

<FRAMESET BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0" COLS="180,*">
<FRAME SRC="side.html" NAME="side" TARGET="main">

The nsclient plugin gives you polling access to anything in perfmon. So if the exchange
private sector value is a perfmon counter, nsclient can give nagios access to it.

Surely a permissions issue.  My advice is to double-check the 
installation instructions and then verify permissions on the directories 
containing the nagios files.  When you run the configure script with 
'--with-nagios-user=nagios' and '--with-nagios-grp=nagios' permissions 
should be taken care of.  Just check them to be sure.  Your apache log 
might help too.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Cisco router SNMP TRAPs - snmptrapd script
verification

 

Hello:

 

 

Can anyone look over my scripts in the word attachment and tell why the
"submit_check_result" script is not passing the information to Nagios.  It
could be because "handle-cisco-traps" script is not passing the trap
information to "submit_check_result" script.  I see the traps showing up on
the iptables firewall as allowed and the sniffer verifies it as well.  I've
gone to the extent to documenting  all scripts involved in this process and
I was wondering if anyone can help me that has more experience with
snmptrapd.   I'm fairly new at this.    I want to be able receive traps from
our core and cpe routers so it can set off alarms for various types of
traps.     Maybe you can point to more documentation.

 

Anything in red is what changes I made and on the submit_check_results, I
placed a statement to output the trap information to a log file just for a
test.   The log file never gets created because I fee that the script
"submit_check_result" never gets executed.   Included in the attachment is
also the sniffer capture.    Any help will greatly be appreciated.  Thanks
you.

Has anyone configured Nagios to monitor a Netbotz monitoring device?  

I would like to be able to track temperature, and other things over

Hi there,

Do you have a Nagios Host configured named by "unknown"?

When I am right your handle-cisco-traps script will determine what kind of 
trap was received by trapd an then decides which Nagios state and which 
output your submit check result will send to the nagios process but your 
$hostname is a kind of static, isn't it?

###
read host
hostname="unknown"
....
....
./submit_check_result $hostname ... will ever be submit_check_result 
unknown "SNMP Trap" $state $output
####

Did you try to execute the script manually? Like:

./handle-cisco-traps 5 or later
./submit_check_results unknown "SNMP Trap" 1 "All is good" ?

But it is a good idea! Do you know if it is possible to determine the IP 
Adress of the trap sending host and take this info through the scripts?

We have got 500 Cisco Routers and the idea with passive Trap Checks is 
just very good! 

Thanks for the nice idea

Greeting
Hendrik

Subject: [Nagios-users] Cisco router SNMP TRAPs - snmptrapd script 
verification
 
Hello:
 
 
Can anyone look over my scripts in the word attachment and tell why the 
"submit_check_result" script is not passing the information to Nagios.  It 
could be because "handle-cisco-traps" script is not passing the trap 
information to "submit_check_result" script.  I see the traps showing up 
on the iptables firewall as allowed and the sniffer verifies it as well. 
I've gone to the extent to documenting  all scripts involved in this 
process and I was wondering if anyone can help me that has more experience 
with snmptrapd.   I'm fairly new at this.    I want to be able receive 
traps from our core and cpe routers so it can set off alarms for various 
types of traps.     Maybe you can point to more documentation.
 
Anything in red is what changes I made and on the submit_check_results, I 
placed a statement to output the trap information to a log file just for a 
test.   The log file never gets created because I fee that the script 
"submit_check_result" never gets executed.   Included in the attachment is 
also the sniffer capture.    Any help will greatly be appreciated.  Thanks 
you.

interval_length in nagios.cfg defines the number of seconds in an "interval"
All intervals in any other configuration are multiples of that.

I have my interval_length at 5 seconds.  When I want to check once per
minute, I set my interval to 12.

I assumed I'd use check_by_ssh combined with the check_disk command, but
what do I have to configure in order for this to work?

Hi all,

I have the same problem. I need to ping some hsots that have 
invalid 
IPs. Soh I created a check_ping_192.168.0.2 that should be used with nrpe.

The problem is that:

check_command check_nrpe!check_ping_192.168.0.2

does not work in host definition, but does in services definition. There 
must be a good reason for it... or not?
Why check_commands in host definitions cannot receive arguments!!!???

In my opinion it's a bug. And it's easy to solve.

"check_command check_nrpe!check_ping_192.168.0.2"

This is still passing arguments.  Host check commands do not process
arguments at all in Nagios 1.x.  This feature has been added in Nagios 2.0
if you want to give that a try.  Otherwise, you will need to hardcode
additional commands to use as your host check commands.

Hi all,

I have the same problem. I need to ping some hsots that have
invalid
IPs. Soh I created a check_ping_192.168.0.2 that should be used with nrpe.

The problem is that:

check_command check_nrpe!check_ping_192.168.0.2

does not work in host definition, but does in services definition. There
must be a good reason for it... or not?
Why check_commands in host definitions cannot receive arguments!!!???

In my opinion it's a bug. And it's easy to solve.

It was apparently a design decision, not a bug. In any event, that
functionality has been included in Nagios 2.0 --

http://www.nagios.org/upcoming.php

6. Host check commands, notification commands and event handler command
now accept arguments (using $ARGx$ macros)

Brent,

You have just described one way to do it, there are others.  Check_by_ssh
happens to be my method of choice so I'll provide some additional details
that may help you.

1.  Create an ssh keypair for the nagios user on your nagios box.
2.  Create a nagios account on all the remote machines you wish to
monitor.  Put the nagios plugins on the remote machines.  I use /home/nagios/bin.
3.  Publish the ssh public key to /home/nagios/.ssh/authorized_keys on
each remote machine.
4.  Manually log in as the nagios user from the nagios box
to each remote box to add the host keys to your known hosts file on the
nagios box.
5.  From now on, you should be able to ssh as the nagios user
from the nagios box to each remote box without any intervention.
6.  Configure a service check like check_remote_disk and define it in
checkcommands.cfg.  Check_remote_disk will in turn rely on check_by_ssh.
7.  You may want to use $USER$ variables to store things
like the path to the nagios plugins on the remote side and the path to
your private key on the nagios side.

Once you get this set up for check_disk, you can apply the same steps to
check remote load, users, procs, whatever.

Good luck, you are on the right track.

Subject: bypass authorization?
Message-ID: <1084215304.3331.9.camel@jstotler.fastinc.com>


Does anyone know of a way to bypass the authorization required to access
the cgi stuff?

The machine I'm using is locked down, and I can assume that user
dummy/dummy is on the system.


thanks,
John

That depends on what version of apache you're running, since that's 
whats handling the authorization.
I know there was an issue with mod_ssl on apache 1.3.28, but afaik it 
can only be used to gain shell access as the user owning the apache 
process. That should ofcourse suffice, since you'd be able to add your 
own password later (on a loosely set system, that is).

Hi Anthony, 

So if I wanted to have ping check executed 4 times (every 15 secs), this

Message-ID: <54CBD1107EC5AD4EA8D4183558A589EF4787CB@coaexch5.coacd.org>

Anyone have any ideas on how to check RADIUS services on a remote box?  I am
trying to do a check_udp command modified to send data on udp port 1645
(which is one of the ports that my RADIUS box is listening on) but I got no
data back.  My assumption here is that the RADIUS box only sends a response
to a specific query type and not just a "hey are you listening" query.

Use the check_radius plugin that is distributed with the standard
plugins. You must have the radius client libs installed before compiling
the plugins. From the REQUIREMENTS file --

check_radius:
        - Requires the radiusclient library available from
http://www.cityline.net/~lf/radius/
        RPM (rpmfind): radiusclient-0.3.1-1, radiusclient-devel-0.3.1-1

Take a look at plugins/check_radius.c in a semi-recent plugins package.

I am in the process of trying to "sell" my management on the value of Nagios
over one of the commercial packages out there.  Aside from the folks listed
on the nagios.org site can you all give me the names of some large
commerical and governmental entities that may be using Nagios?

When we notice a server go down, nagios will get hung up on that one server and check it until it is back up.  Is there any way to do the following:

1. have the host check only page after the 2nd instance it is found to be down (eliminating false alarms due to a number of reasons)?
2. have the host check not get hung on one system when it is found to be down?

Thank you very much for your responses.

I've implemented Nagios (1.2 at this point) on the UC Davis backbone.
I'm monitoring 1529 routers/switches (mostly Foundry) and running
1778 services from a dedicated linux server...monitoring stuff like
cpu load, temp, and some protocols (BGP, PIM, etc)...a few ATM
devices that only ping...

I wrote one using snmp : look at check_snmp_storage.pl at

You can use the regexp feature to exclude multiple filesystems (I never did
it that way, but it should work).

Nagios Users/Developers/Gurus, 

I would like to excluded multiple filesystems when checking disk usage, does
anyone have a method for doing this?  If not, has anyone written their own
check_disk command?

Thanks for the assistance.

Subject: Disk Usage and excluding file systems

I have a Perl script that can do what you are looking for but it is not
finished and is part of a client package I use at work.  It does the
following:


    1. Thresholds per mount point, if threshold is 
        not set for given mount a global threshold is used
    2. Excludes read-only mounts
    3. UNIX OS independent - each OS has its own Perl Module
        to set OS specif commands.
    4. Put all mount into one service check
        Working on allowing each mount point to be a separate
        service check.


I will post it if any one is interested.   Here is an example of the
configuration for it:

########### BEGIN ##########
#
# Global warning/critical levels
#
warning  = 95
critical = 99

#
# Comma delimited list of mount points to exclude
#
#exclude  = /m1,/m2

#
# Mount  Warning  Critical
# Point
#
/          97      99
########### END ##########

The package I am working on has Perl scripts to monitor processes, load
and swap.  There is also a log monitor piece that uses "sec".    

If any one is interested let me know and I will post what I have so far.

Hi all,

Just noticed something: if you configure log_file and status_file in 
conjunction with use_syslog, then messages are sent to both the log files 
as well as messages in your syslog directory!

Which is good 'cause I'm going to siphon off the syslog messages to a 
remote host (using syslog-ng).

Subject: plugin/module for timing HTTP traffic
Message-ID: <40A0384B.5000109@infostream.com.au>

I have a requirement to monitor the actual HTTP traffic from a users 
session on their workstation and provide the timing information about 
this back to Nagios maybe to display whether the system is running 
correctly.

The workstation may be windows or Linux.

I know BMC provide a component called Actual Web Response Timer, which 
may do the job, but I was really after using Nagios to handle this.

Has anyone had to something similar ? We aren't allowed currently to use 
simulated traffic at present.

Thanks

Subject: escalation bug?
Message-ID: <50978.216.248.94.62.1084245598.squirrel@webmail.luther.edu>

I think I may have found a bug in nagios escallations.  We're currently
using Nagios 1.0.

Tonight we have a service that has been flip-flopping between yellow and red.
That's the way picking a set tollerance goes soemtimes, and I understand
that.  What I don't get is why paging for this service occurred the way it
did.

Correlating the state changes, the notifications, and the acknowlegements,
I get a story that goes something like this:

--State goes critical
--Primary gets paged
--Primary Acknowleges

--State goes to warning
--State goes to Critical
--Primary gets paged
--Primary Acknowleges

--State goes to warning
--State goes to Critical
--Primary gets paged
--State goes to warning
--State goes to Critical
--Escallation gets paged.

Now, our paging rules say that nagios should page the primary 3 times, and
then escallate.  I guess that's what it did, but what I don't understand
is why the state change between Warning and Critical seems to clear the
acknowlegement, but does not restart the primary escallation cycle.

Based on how it behaves, I guessing it takes going back to a Green state
before the paging cycle would start back over at the first page to the
primary.  If that's the case, though, shouldn't it also take going back to
a green state to remove the acknowleged state?

As it is, it was an unfortunate and annoying series of events that kept
paging the primary, but I don't see any bennefit in having the escalation
notified when the primary was attempting to acknowlege that he was
watching this situation.

So, is this a bug, or a feature that I'm not understanding the bennefit of?

Thanks for any insight that anyone can provide.

We had a somewhat similar problem with Nagios 1.0 (or Nagios 1.1, I
forget which now) where a notification would be generated on the
transition from OK to WARNING but we'd never get a notification on the
WARNING to CRITICAL transisition. (We noticed it on file system
monitors, most of our monitors go directly from OK to CRITICAL.)

I "solved" the problem by upgrading to Nagios 1.2. I never looked to
see what the problem was, solving the problem by running portupgrade
was easy enough.  :)

While not directly on point, I hope this helps a bit.

I've looked in the mailing list for info but to no

Do i need performance data or something like that ?

Thanks

hi guys

yes as you can see my question is how to update from 1.1 to 1.2, i used the 1.1 rpm's so whats easier, uninstall the 1.1 rpm's and install the 1.2 rpm's or is it easier to just overwrite some 1.1 files to get 1.2 working (and if it is so, wich files should i replace)

thanks in advance,

markus auchmann

Hi,

What is the best way to integrate (asynchronous and external) log 
events in nagios ?

First of all the service I would like to generate a status for has to 
be defined, probably it will be a service with no active checks...

Little example:

A new log entry is written in my logfile on server A.
The monitoring server M should check the logfile on A, see that there 
is a new event and then generate a critical status. (all this is quite 
easy to do)

Then I would like to keep this service in critical state until someone 
has acknowledged it. How can I do this ? I had the idea to use an event 
handler to send some data to my plugin to tell it, now you can send a 
status update again, but there are probably other and easier ways to do 
it no ?

How do you manage that ? (for example with portsentry integration)

Thanks, Greg

Hi All,
I just wonder if anyone got check_radius working on Solaris, I tried but 
no luck. I got Radiusclient library installed, still the check_radius.c 
compiling failed, complaining no library.
Any clue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Emily

Subject: PB with arguments of check_disk used with check_nrpe
Message-ID: <40A0CFA9.6010309@cict.fr>

Hi,

In first, in my nrpe.cfg, i define check_disk as following:
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c 
$ARG2$ -X $ARG3$ -X $ARG4$

and then i execute ./check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_disk -a 20% 10% lofs nfs

I have a display problem, the output is truncated.

So I decided to pass the different paths in nrpe.cfg:
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c 
$ARG2$ -p $ARG3$ -p $ARG4$ -p $ARG5$ -p $ARG6$ -p $ARG7$ -p $ARG8$ -p 
$ARG9$ -p $ARG10$ -p $ARG11$

When i execute ./check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_disk -a 20% 10% / /tmp 
/var/mail /usr/local, i obtain the following message:
check_disk: unrecognized option

The problem occurs from the argument $ARG6$ because of the return to the 
line. How must i write this command line correctly in nrpe.cfg?

Can you help me, please?

Carole.

Why is nagios writing to files of the sort below instead of nagios.log?

nagios.tmpfhhcdq

It baffles me. I have the nagios.log and nagios.sav files in place and 
have chmod'd the files and dirs to 777 in desperation to discover why 
they don't go to the log files ... they were at some point, then just 
stopped and I can't see why this might be so.

I feel it is a rtfm sort of issue but I cannot find the answer

any help gratefully recieved (before or after i loose all my hair in 
frustration)

Hi,

if you've snmp installed in your remote machine you can also use
check_snmp with the repective oid and the tresholds you want.

Best regards,
mramos

I recently updated 1.1 to 1.2; this is as easy as it gets.  Just protect 
any source
you've modified.  Of course you protect your config files with your life,
however these are not threatened and are completely transferable to 1.2.

I'm not sure how much control you have with rpms; I use tarballs.  Just
take the new source tree thru the 'make install' step,  and you're ready
to go ( I use the INSTALLING guide )...config files should remain untouched
and all worked as before for me.

yes, owner and group are the same for the .log and .save files as they 
are for the tmp ones.

ermmm it was down the group defined in the nagios being different to the 
group the log files belonged to.

I shall hide in shame with a wee smile because at least it works!

Message-ID: <2FDA6C38B2BFD4119D2400D0B784BE6F0746B873@stoexchange.state.fl.us>

 

 

Hellow everyone:

 

I've been able to get SNMPTT to accept a trap and pass it to
"submit_check_result" script but Nagios is not changing the passive service
object to warning condition.  I've executed the "submit_check_result"
manually and could not get Nagios to change the service object from Okay to
Warning:

 

[root at nagios eventhandlers]# ./submit_check_result TestRouter TRAP 1
"Ethernet down test"

 

 

Can someone look at my service object and see if I have anything
mis-configured?  I am able to perform all external commands but I just can't
get nagios.cmd to execute and cause a passive check to change from green to
yellow.   I was able to output the results of the "submit_check_results" and
found that it was spitting out the right output.  See blow for script.   Any
help will be greatly appreciated

Subject: Monitoring Windows Event Log from Nagios
Message-ID: <00e201c437d9$9ec52e50$b004d882@itss.auckland.ac.nz>

Hi -

Does anyone out there have a method to monitor the Windows Event log using
Nagios?

Currently, we use the pNSClient agent to collect Perfmon data, which works
fine.  On UNIX systems, we have the syslogd daemon which will feed important
events via a filter through NSCA and into a Passive Service on Nagios --
again, no problem.  However, we need a way to send Windows event log events
and generate an alert.

An ideal setup would be a configurable daemon that will send an NSCA alert
(of a configurable level) for log entries matching a certain regular
expression.  However, at the moment I'll take anything!  It needs to be
something that, like pNSClient, can run as a service on the server in
question.

Do any of you out there have or know of such an agent?  It would be of great
help out here,

Thanks in advance, 

Steve

have a look at http://naplax.sourceforge.net/check_win_eventlog.html for
NAPLAX and it's Windows Eventlog Addon.

Poorly it doesn't support the embedded Perl Nagios and the author doesn't
know how to change the perl-script to work with ePN. Maybe anyone else want
this!? :-)

Subject: Time based rather than contact based notifications
Message-ID: <40A1CC84.5050707@upaya.co.uk>

My scenario is that there are multiple people responsible, at different 
times, for various services.

At present, I have to manage this by specifying the timeperiod for each 
contact.

I'd rather associate people with timeperiods, rather than timeperiods 
with people. So, I'd like to say:

Time              Main Contact          Secondary Contact      
Mon, 9am-5pm      Peter                 Jim
Mon, 5pm-Tue 9am  Jim                   Sue
Tue 9am-5pm       Sue                   William
etc, etc, etc.

This way, I have a single file that shows me who's on duty when. With 
the current setup, I could easily end up with two people on duty at the 
same time, or worse - no-one on duty, simply by an error in the details 
I enter.

I know I could achieve the above by writing a script to generate the 
Nagios config files from a file format such as the one above, but is 
there any other way I can achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I have a little problem in that I monitor sendmail queues on my RedHat

ALWAYS get a empty result.

I have done tested like email 50 messages and look at the queue with
mailq (also using check_mailq at the command prompted) then waited for
the test to happen again and then see what Nagios says, as I said before
I only get an empty result.

Anybody gat any ideas?

Hi all (again),

I am trying check the uptime of my managed switches but I have a little
problem when I put the test into Nagios.

When I run this:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H 172.16.4.1 -o
system.sysUpTime.0 -C dragonsbain

I get this:
SNMP OK - Timeticks: (563369316) 65 days, 4:54:53.16

BUT when I run this:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H 172.16.4.1 -o
system.sysUpTime.0 -C dragonsbain -w 10 -c 30

I get this:
SNMP CRITICAL - *563375231*

Can anyone shed some light on why the output changes when I put the
WARNING and CRITICAL criteria in?

Thanks,

Justin

Which is correct. One timetick represents 1/100 of a second, and 
563369316 1/100's of a second makes for 65 days, 4 hours, 54 minutes and 
53.16 seconds (the above example. There was a time delay of 59.15 
seconds delay between your running of snmpget and check_snmp).

check_snmp doesn't do that translation for you, so you have to specify 
it in timeticks (why you would want thresholds on uptime in the first 
place eludes me, but who am I to say?)

Anyways... The math goes something like this;
threshold=(((((days*24*60)+hours)*60+minutes)*60+seconds)*100)+centiseconds
Mind the math precedense.

One day is 86400 seconds. You do the math on the thresholds you want, 
and don't forget to multiply by 100.

Steve,

I'm glad that i can advice the creator of "routers2.cgi" and other nice
tools for drawing graphs.


Have a look to "SNARE":         http://www.intersectalliance.com/projects/

Snare Agent for Windows
Snare for Windows is a Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows
2003 compatible service that interacts with the underlying Windows Eventlog
subsystem to facilitate remote, real-time transfer of event log information.

Event logs from the Security, Application and System logs, as well as the
new DNS, File Replication Service, and Active Directory logs are supported.
Log data is converted to text format, and delivered to a remote Snare
Server, or to a remote SYSLOG server. 

SNARE for Windows is free software (freeware), released under the terms of
the GNU Public Licence. 


I'm still busy to work out a solution but let me point out the way i try to
set it up.
Currently i have installed the SNARE agent on two Windows servers. The agent
is configured to forward the eventlog entries to the syslog daemon on the
nagios server. 
On the nagios server i use a script that is respawned by inittab and that is
following the syslog messages file. This script is responsable for filtering
the recieved messages on fields as the "Snare HOST_NAME", criticaly level,
event-type, ... and finally submitting results to a specific passive
service. f.e. "Security WinEventlog", "Application WinEventlog", "System
WinEventlog"... 
The "Snare HOST_NAME" is a configurable parameter that is passed together
with the wineventlog fields. I keep this the same as the host_name on which
i have set-up currently 3 passive checks ( Security, Applicaton, System )/
host_name.
Additionally i have set-up also the same services on the nagios server. When
i recieve a Snare host_name message that i can't lookup as a configured
host_name, i submit a warning to the nagios server specific winsevent
services to avoid alerts get lost.
Further the script is keeping an array that contain the host_name and a time
stamp when the last result was submitted on a certain host_name and service.
When an entry is older then 10 minutes, the entry is removed from the array
and an "OK" result is submitted, so the volatile service is automatically
recovering.

best regards,

ludo

Return code out of bounds most often happens what a system error 
happens. You can use the 'perror' program to display the appropriate 
error message for it. 116 is 'Stale NFS file handle', and should 
probably occur when a partition previously mounted by NFS is no longer 
available, but hasn't been unmounted (i.e. NFS server is down or 
otherwise unavailable).

126 and 127 are not very uncommon. Those are shell return codes (not 
system ones) and mean, respectively; 'Permission denied' or 
'Non-executable' (on the file being executed or one of the directories 
above it) and 'File not found' (for when a plugin is missing).

Nagios 1.2 on a Linux box with nrpe_check v 2.0

NRPE v 1.9 on Solaris 8 box.

I compiled both ends of nrpe without SSL support and I'm running nrpe on the 
Solaris box from inetd.

When I run check_nrpe receive the following message in /var/tmp/messages:

May 12 09:16:27 <hostname> nrpe[6750]: [ID 421412 daemon.error] Could not read 
request from client, bailing out...

I've searched the FAQ and RTFM'd without coming up with anything... could it 
be the different versions of NRPE that are shnackering up the works?

Hi!

 

This is probably a quiet stupid question, but as I'm a newbie to Nagios, I
will ask it anyway.

 

Which is the most popular admin tool for Nagios? As it seems, it stands
between either Nagat or Nagmin, or am I wrong?

 

So which is the most preferable? And what are the pros and cons? 

 

Best Regards! Magnus.

Hi all,

I've just moved my Nagios install onto a nice shiny new server and
restored all my previous settings - (although this time using mysql as
well).

Everything works as I would expect it to - exactly the same, the only
strange difference, is that the icons on the status map (the exact same
ones, I must add) are displayed at what appears to be a much lower
resolution. The colours in 'win40.gd2' for example are completely
different on the previous and new installs. Can anyone give me a hint as
to what might be causing this? It looks pretty shoddy.

Cheers,

Richard

Another would be Nawui, but this is in a very early stage of
development.

> So which is the most preferable? And what are the pros and cons? 

I think its a question of your general setup defaults.
In our company we are not using Webmin (Nagmin) because its
security risk is too high in our oppinion.
Nagat has the advantage that you dont get all the other stuff
you dont need or dont want (especially due to security reasons).

The con of Nagat is IMHO that there are no further developments.

Subject: Checks are orphaned...
Message-ID: <20040512142801.GB4134@tyr.car.belbone.be>

Hi,

I wrote some plugins, and implemented them on my Nagios.
All the checks seems to be working fine, but afer some time I see the
following errors in my syslog:

nagios nagios: Warning: The check of service 'Int FastEthernet9/1/1 Status' on host 'pecbru11' looks like it was orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check of the service...

When I run them from CLI, everything works fine and I checked that I
quit always with the proper exitcode (ERROR, WARNING,...)

Does someone have a clue?

Thanx,

Wim

Subject: Newbie host/server issue
Message-ID: <4B63F5F5A4CB934FA82D5393A1D947E5FF00BC@s3mail.s3systems.com>

I have one server that is giving me a bit of a hard time.  It responds
to the ping and smtp checks but anything that appears to use the client
gives a connection refused by host.  The target machine is a Windows
2000 server running Exchange 2000.  Several other NT and Novell machines
are working correctly.

 

Oddly enough, I cannot mail through it either (trying to get alerts to
techs) yet I can send traffic to external mail servers.  Any thoughts
would be appreciated!

                                           

Thanks!

Rob

Differing versions of GD maybe? The GD format appears to change slightly
between versions leading to irregularities. You could try converting
them to png on the old system (gdtopng) and then from png to gd on the
new system (pngtogd).

Subject: different contact methods for different events
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0405121036490.15483@mordor.clayton.edu>


In the contacts.cfg, there is a line for pager and line for e-mail.

Is it possible to define a notification for a service that uses just one
of those?   For example, e-mail and page me if a machine is down, but if
just something like ntp drops on a host, just e-mail me, as I don't want
lunch interupted for nothing.

As best as I can tell, it looks like I need to make a
	Dan_Email contact
	Dan_Pager contact
and then depending on the service, choose the appropriate contact group
with the right people.

Just seems to me it'd be easier/nice to have a way in the contactgroups to
have a contacttype or something, where you just have one entry for each
contact and get to choose how they are contacted higher up based on the
service.  ie   in the service config, after contact_groups, have a
contact_method pager or contact_method email or something in there.

Just seems easier on managing contacts in the long run to have one contact
entry per person.   Yeah...I could probably modify the source, but I
prefer nagios to work  :)

Or have I missed something completely.

Hellow everyone:

 

I've been able to get SNMPTT to accept a trap and pass it to

get nagios.cmd to execute and cause a passive check to change from green to
yellow.   I was able to output the results of the "submit_check_results" and

You could change the notify-by-pager command to involve a shell script/
perl script/whatever, passing the arguments.  The script would check
the service type and decide whether to page you or discard it.  Further
enhancements, such as building in a list of people who are always paged
or building in a knowledge of when you have your lunch break is left
as an exercise for the reader.

Subject: Nagios passive check not changing alert condition
Message-ID: <370ACCFA5BB3B346A31222E5559BF91F1B62EE@mismail2.ena.com>

Just some suggestions --

Enable logging of passive checks in nagios.cfg -
log_passive_service_checks=1 
Make sure that you're accepting passive checks in nagios.cfg -
accept_passive_service_checks=1 

Check nagios.log and make sure that nagios is seeing and properly
processing the passive service check. 

In the submit_check_result below, the host ($1) and service description
($2) must exactly match what nagios has in it's configs. For the
example you provide, you should be submitting something (after
substitution) like:   

cmdline="[$datetime] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;$1;$2;$3;$4"

cmdline="[timestamp]
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;TestRouter;SNMP-TRAP;1;Plugin Output"
-(example for a WARNING)

I used Snare from Intersect Alliance
<http://www.intersectalliance.com/projects/> to dump the events to
syslog on the nagios server. I then use the simple event correlator
SEC <http://kodu.neti.ee/~risto/sec/> to pattern
match/analyze/correlate the events into passive services in Nagios.

Can you telnet to the port from the Nagios host? Are you sure that the 
service/program is running on the Windows 2k machine?

Perhaps there is a network (or firewall) issue that is preventing the 
connection...

I have one server that is giving me a bit of a hard time.  It responds to 
the ping and smtp checks but anything that appears to use the client gives 
a connection refused by host.  The target machine is a Windows 2000 server 
running Exchange 2000.  Several other NT and Novell machines are working 
correctly.
 
Oddly enough, I cannot mail through it either (trying to get alerts to 
techs) yet I can send traffic to external mail servers.  Any thoughts 
would be appreciated!
 
Thanks!
Rob

Check your http error log for details. It should tell you exactly what
the failure is. The statusmap and trends cgi's use the GD libraries so
whatever the problem is it's likely to be related to that.

Hello, collagues!

I was unable to find how to define service groups in the documentation or in FAQ. I need to define a set of services and assign it to a group of hosts. So that is a host gets added to a group it automatically gets appropriate checks and if new service is added to be check in the service group all hosts in that host group would get it. Corresponding removals would be nice to get working as well.

I am running the 1.2 version. Any suggestions?

Use hostgroups, instead, in 1.2.  Create a hostgroup just to assign services to, then add hosts to that hostgroup.  Use "hostgroup_name" instead of "host_name" in the service definition and it will work like you expect.  We use this extensively

service groups don't exist until 2.0, I believe

Group the hosts rather than the services, group the hosts in the host

define hostgroup{
 hostgroup_name  rtp_production_aix_servers
 alias           RTP Production AIX Servers
 contact_groups  sysadmins,noc,support,support-pagers

 }     

Define this in all services you want for these hosts as such,

define service{                        
 service_description            Connectivity
 use                            rtp-service-standard
 hostgroup_name                 
rtp_production_aix_servers,rtp_production_linux_servers,rtp_new_box_temp
 contact_groups                 sysadmins,noc,support,support-pagers
 check_command                  check_fping

Karl,

Thank you! We are already using hostgroups - and trying to deal with service reconfigurations. Had a couple situations, when to hostgroup or host to a service and the thing would be down unnoticeable. We need service groups. OK, I guess I'll wait until 2.x.

Thank you!

Vlad.

Spencer,
 
Yes, we are doing that. But this is half of the convenience. An ideal configuration architecture does assign groups to groups, with potential exclusions.Beleive me, it is much more convenient. Right now we are assigning groups to individual services. Which is just a convenience issue, and, as I've heard will be resolved in 2.x.
 
Thank you for the time!
Vlad.

Group the hosts rather than the services, group the hosts in the host config file as such

define hostgroup{
 hostgroup_name  rtp_production_aix_servers
 alias           RTP Production AIX Servers
 contact_groups  sysadmins,noc,support,support-pagers
 members         inqr0,inqr1,inqr2,inqr3,inqr4,hag0r,hag1r,hag2r,hag3r,wagr0,osar0,osar1,igwr0,gwlom0,gwlom1,bldr,wsbldr,ldds,mis1,inqedar0,inqr5
 }      

Define this in all services you want for these hosts as such,

define service{                         
 service_description            Connectivity
 use                            rtp-service-standard
 hostgroup_name                 rtp_production_aix_servers,rtp_production_linux_servers,rtp_new_box_temp

Corresponding removals would be nice to get working as well.

I am running the 1.2 version. Any suggestions?

I don't think hostgroups being used in service definitions will affect
the algorithm on whether you get notified or not.  Same with service
groups in 2.0.  

What we do is we have many hostgroups dedicated to just being used to
assign services.  This has no effect on how notifications for the
service go out.  The only time you would not get notifications
(typically) is when a) the host is down, or b) some kind of dependency
or other normal notification issue happens.  (For example, notifications
are off for that host or service)  

If you use hostgroups to assign services, it's no different than
assigning them to the hostnames directly.  I.e.

define service {
  hostgroup_name foo
  ...
}

is the equivalent of

define service {
  host_name foo1,foo2,foo3,...
  ...
}

which itself is the equivalent of

define service {
  host_name foo1
  ...
}

define service {
  host_name foo2
  ...
}

etc.



They are all the same thing as far as Nagios is concerned because all
the expansion is done in the templates before Nagios "runs".


Service groups in 2.0 only are different in the sense that you can't use
the "hostgroup" features (such as host escalations) and they have a nice
separate link on the left side of the main page in 2.0.  The way they
expand into host names I believe is the same as hostgroups work.

Most people use servicegroups in 2.0 to group together "interesting"
services for administrative reasons more than configuration reasons. (I
think)

Hope this helps,
Karl

Karl,

Thank you! We are already using hostgroups - and trying to deal with
service reconfigurations. Had a couple situations, when to hostgroup or
host to a service and the thing would be down unnoticeable. We need
service groups. OK, I guess I'll wait until 2.x.

Thank you!

Use hostgroups, instead, in 1.2.  Create a hostgroup just to assign
services to, then add hosts to that hostgroup.  Use "hostgroup_name"
instead of "host_name" in the service definition and it will work like
you expect.  We use this extensively

service groups don't exist until 2.0, I believe

Another would be Nawui, but this is in a very early stage of

I think its a question of your general setup defaults.
In our company we are not using Webmin (Nagmin) because its
security risk is too high in our oppinion.
Nagat has the advantage that you dont get all the other stuff
you dont need or dont want (especially due to security reasons).

The con of Nagat is IMHO that there are no further developments.

/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd

that is where the nrpe daemon and config files are. the config files 
have read permission for nagios and nrpe has rwx for nrpe.
i have nrpe added to my /etc/services as well.
ssl is not enabled on either machine and i am using tcp wrappers.
i can also telnet to the machine from both the nagios host server and 
the nrpe daemon machine to itself on the port 5666.
i can see that the daemon is running using netstat -pta
i also tried to just use check_nrpe -H (the daemons hostname) to see if 
i would get a response as I read in one of the posts on the forum but it 
times out even if i adjust the time to 20 or 40 seconds.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I am trying to monitor processes on a remote server.
For example I try to get a Critical state when no ftp processes are
running.
The output of ps -ef | grep ftp gives me 'proftpd' so my command to
execute can be 
$ check_procs -C proftpd -w 1 -c 2
But this give me an OK state when no ftp process is running. How can I
change so that when no ftp process is running I got a Critical state.
Maybe I overlook something.

Thanks for the help
Wim

I am using the current version of Nagios on a system to check a remote 
system. However when the system goes down the Nagios status page still 
shows a green status for the DNS servers

$USER1$/check_dns -H www.winnipeg.ca -s $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 60 -a 198.163.51.161

Am using this command for the check_dns and passing as a parameter the 
canonical name for the IP address via $HOSTADDRESS$. When the system goes 
down Nagios shows "address is null".

Any suggestion on how to have the program show a RED status for the DNS server?

Hello, 

I am currently heading a project to monitor roughly 1500 hosts with 4500
total service (3-4 checks per system) checks with Nagios 1.2 with a
Postgres DB.  There will be "collectors" that will perform the service
checks and report them back with NSCA to the main server. My question is
has anyone done a similar setup? If so were there any problems with
nsca/named pipe issue that caused problems.  I have read through the
newsgroup and there seems to be some issues for some people, and some
have gone way over that with no issues. 

Thanks, 
Jay

Subject: Large Distributed Nagios w/ NSCA
Message-ID: <B295F3D09B0D3840BEA3B46C51FC389CA0E874@pnlmse28.pnl.gov>


I was one of the people having some problems.  I have ~1000 hosts and
almost 
15000 services.  Some of the issues I saw were:

  - No messages over kernel pipe size (512 bytes) or you have problems
with
    messages overwriting each other.
    NSCA may enforce this?  I don't know since we use a local
replacement)
  - The linux 2.4 scheduler has a problem whereby sometimes it doesn't
    schedule processes very well.  This will lead to a problem where you
    will see a lot of nagios processes stuck hanging around reading a
    pipe and never exiting (or taking a very long time to do so).  Note
that
    this is not THE nagios pipe, its an IPC pipe that the parent uses to
    communicate to a child that reads THE nagios pipe.  
    Some people have re-compiled the kernel with a larger pipe size to
fix 
    this (there is a good explanation of why this works in the archives
- I 
    lost my pointer to it unfortunately), I "fixed" it by putting an
alarm
    around the pipe call and aborting the process when it failed.  This
means
    I loose some small number of messages, but the box doesn't crash any
more 
    (definitely sub optimal, but...).  FreeBSD users don't have this
problem.

I started out with Postgres as the storage, but I don't think I can
recommend
that as solution for large sites.  Not because of any deficiency in
postgres,
but because of how nagios updates the data.  Essentially from what I can
tell
it simply does a delete * followed by a loop to insert every item at the

update interval.  This isn't very efficient and tends to thrash the DB
(mysql
may handle this better, again I don't know - I didn't test).  I ended up
using
a memory filesystem as the place to put the status file - this seems to
work
quite well.  If the DB code were redone to only do updates on changes it
would 
probably perform fine (although that introduces some other maintenance
issues
that you need to be careful of).  Also the DB code is going away in
future 
release so setting up to use it now is probably somewhat a waste of
time.

The other major problem you will find is that the cgi scripts are really
slow 
(as in takign minutes to load) for larger service counts.  This is due
to a 
N depth traversal of several linked  lists in the code that builds the 
service/host lists.  This is supposed to be fixed in 2.0 and may be an
argument 
for using a CVS snapshot.  There is also a patch for 1.2 floating around
that 
fixes the problem as well, but you will have to apply it, etc...

Howdy. I have a Temptrax Model E and a Temptrax Model F that I need to get
installed under nagios. All of the links from the sensatronics site and
elsewhere just point to nagios.org or nagios.sourceforge.net and it
appears as though the source code for the temptrax plugin is no longer
available there.

I have done some googling around but have been unable to locate the
plugin code. Could some kind soul please send me the plugin code or
a pointer to where it is located.

Many thanks in advance.

I've used the extended host information to use icons for the servers, 
but the statusmap keeps showing a question mark.

I'm using Redhat 9, php with gd support is enabled, gd library libgd.so.1.8.

No errors appear in Apache.

Sample host extended setup

# 'Router' host definition
define hostextinfo{
host_name router
icon_image redhat.jpg
icon_image_alt redhat.gif

statusmap_image redhat.gd2
}

I have the images under  
/usr/share/nagios/images/logos/base and /usr/share/nagios/images/logos.

Permissions are 644 for the images.

So which step have I missed ?

Thanks

Phil.

Andreas,

Thanks for that (the head is still sore after that maths lesson
*grin*).

Your statement "why you would want thresholds on uptime in the first 
place eludes me" is probably correct it is just that we have power
outages and I wanted to know if the switch reboot (ie check to see if
the switches have been up for MORE than 1 day).

The other thing is that when the state is good I just want to see the
same about from the command as I get when I don't use the -w/-c
switches.

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks,

Justin

Which is correct. One timetick represents 1/100 of a second, and 
563369316 1/100's of a second makes for 65 days, 4 hours, 54 minutes
and 
53.16 seconds (the above example. There was a time delay of 59.15 
seconds delay between your running of snmpget and check_snmp).

check_snmp doesn't do that translation for you, so you have to specify

it in timeticks (why you would want thresholds on uptime in the first 
place eludes me, but who am I to say?)

Anyways... The math goes something like this;
threshold=(((((days*24*60)+hours)*60+minutes)*60+seconds)*100)+centiseconds
Mind the math precedense.

One day is 86400 seconds. You do the math on the thresholds you want, 
and don't forget to multiply by 100.

Subject: check_ping packet loss issue, Andreas Ericsson's replacement
Message-ID: <BA5119E2-A49E-11D8-8158-00039345125C@mac.com>

I am trying to solve the issue of the check_ping plugin generally 
reporting packet loss when that doesn't seem to really be the case. it 
seems this is a common problem. I am using nagios 1.3 with the 
changed-ash patch and plugins 1.3.1.

1) Am I right in thinking that the check_ping "bogus" packet loss issue 
is a valid and somewhat common (perhaps inly certain environments)?

2) I am also using Mac OS X (Panther), and it seems the check_fping 
didn't compile or install. Not 100% sure why. i just compiled Andreas 
Ericsson's replacement but got these errors when compiling:

$ make
rm -f *.o a.out core check_fping
gcc -O2 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -g -ggdb -W -Wunused -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes   -c -o check_fping.o check_fping.c
check_fping.c: In function `main':
check_fping.c:406: warning: unsigned int format, long unsigned int arg 
(arg 4)
gcc   check_fping.o   -o check_fping

Am I safe still using it? Seems to work with what I've tested. Or is 
there any changes I could make to have it compile without any warnings?

Hi;

If the server is running NSClient, it may be worth a try to change the 
communications port away from the default 1248.

Documentation isn't all too obvious on this, but the two versions are 
incompatible, due to some hasty mistake in the making of the packet 
structure of version 1.x. I'm working on creating a backward compatible 
check_nrpe, but I'm not done yet, so you'll just have to wait a while 
longer, or update nrpe on the solaris box to nrpe 2.0

The nagios process executing the check has encountered an irrecoverable 
error and died (as in kill -9 or it has received SIGSEGV), which has 
prevented it from returning the status of the plugin to the main nagios 
process.

I can imagine this would happen if 3 conditions are met;
1. you're using the yet unstable embedded perl in Nagios 2.0
2. the plugin is written in perl.
3. the plugin is bogus and / or incompatible with the embedded perl 
interpreter.

You're supposed to specify a range of low:high
check_procs -C proftpd -w 1:1 -c 2:
will do what you want (I think. prod around a little)

Yes, you're safe. It's just a printf() format line with an error 
message, and it does in no way affect logic or normal operation (it 
doesn't affect the error message either, afaik, but I'll have it fixed 
anyways).

Btw. Nice to see it in use. :-)

You can use the check_disk plugin with the '-X' option to exclude 
filesystems.

Example: check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -X lofs -X nfs

Most likely it is creating the gd2 images on the box used to display them.
The gd2 file format sometimes changes in incompatible ways between different
releases.  So if you use somebody else's images created using a different
version of gd2 they may not work.

Hello Jerome. 

I'm trying to monitor around 5000 services with 12 distributed servers
sending results for the central server but it doesn't work very well.
The nagios and nsca on central server shows to be very slowly for to
much services sending.

I'm still trying...

Sorry by the poor english.

Thanks for the info, but precompiled, not official debian packages
are not allowed due to our security policy. So I have to compile
nagios for what I need these library-infos.

Thanks,

Hello list,

Hi,

I have a running Nagios installation, i currently monitor some webservers
with the check_wget script and some other servers by ping and ftp and so
on, this is working fine.
But i have an strange problem with the Webfrontend. I see on the left site
the Output from the side.html, but on the right side i have only the raw
output without any gifs png`s and now background.

For Example:

When I click on the Tactical Overview Button i see the following error
messages in my /var/log/apache2/access.log:
194.127.243.14 - nagios [13/May/2004:14:17:41 +0200] "GET
/nagios/cgi-bin/tac.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 10631 "http://10.60.64.101
/nagios/side.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.5)
Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7"  ==> THE CGI is still OK !!!
------
194.127.243.14 - - [13/May/2004:14:17:42 +0200] "GET
/nagios/cgi-bin/nagios/stylesheets/tac.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1327
"http://10.60.64.101/nagios/cgi-bin/tac.cgi" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; de-DE; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7"

I think the problem must come with the Alias and ScriptAlias configuration
in my httpd.conf
Because the stylesheets are in the directory
/usr/local/nagios/share/stylesheets and not in
/usr/local/nagios/sbin/nagios/stylesheets where i was pointed to.
I have tried almost everything but i don`t know how to get this running.

Here`s my httpd.conf
# NAGIOS
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
    AllowOverride Authconfig
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/share>
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   order allow,deny
   allow from all
</Directory>

I have testet this with old apache 1.3 and with apache 2, but always the
same problem.

My installation looks like the following:

SuSE 9.0, SuSE Kernel 2.4.21-215-default with apache2, nagios-1.2 and
nagios-plugins-1.3.1

I have configured Nagios in the following way:
nagios-1.2
1.    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib
--with-gd-inc=/usr/include --with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin
--with-htmurl=/nagios
      --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-grp=nagios
--with-template-objects
2.    make all
3.    make install

*** Configuration summary for nagios 1.2 02-02-2004 ***:

I hope there is someone out who can help with this propably silly problem.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the help, but I'm still having the problem.  I started out with 
identical versions (2.0) compiled sans SSL support but after that didn't work 
I installed the packages for NRPE (v1.9) on the solaris box.  Still no joy.

Going back to the compiled 2.0 version I recieve this:

On Nagios Box - 
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for 
error messages.

In /var/adm/messages on solaris box - 
Well, that's odd, now I'm not seeing anything there... where should I look?

Subject: Escalations / 15 minute wait on notifications
Message-ID: <D60FE90F07FE0F428C98FBE25FC7D248223E84@exchsrvr.ad.windchannel.com>

Hello,

I'm sure other people run into the problem where a device flaps, or on
occasion fails (hard-state) for one pass of checks before recovering.
You then get a notification, and then another when it recovers. The
worst is when you're on-call and you get 8 of them at night before it
goes into a "flapping" state, and you sleep soundly through it while
your spouse beats you because she heard it...so, anyway :)

I was curious what tactics other people take to delay notification, even
on a hard state failure, until at least one more pass of nagios checks
occurs. Standard tactics in our office is not to action on all but a few
hosts unless it stays down for 10-15 minutes. Is there a way, using
escalations or some other trick I'm unaware of, to send notifications to
an email address immediately, and only send a page to the on-call person
after 15 minutes have elapsed?

Thanks!

To have nagios wait 15 minutes before doing anything at all, put this in
your service definition or template:

max_check_attempts              5
normal_check_interval           5
retry_check_interval            3

The service will need to be down for 5 checks at 3 minute intervals
resulting in an approximate 15 minute delay before notification goes
out. You can also to it with escalations, just set your
first_notification to whichever contact attempt matches your timing you
want based on your notification_interval defined for your service.

The problem I've had in the past with the first method is that (correct
me if I'm wrong) Nagios starts to run in serial mode when it starts to
get downed hosts. I'm looking at probably around 1000 active checks from
one server when all is said and done, so that doesn't sound too
attractive...

Anyone have a sample of working escalation code to start with? Thanks!

check_http --help.

I use the following to make sure that our proxies are functioning
properly. You don't say if you're trying to check the proxy or if you
must use the proxy to get out but in either case I believe the results
will be the same --

define command{
        command_name    check_proxy
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H www.yahoo.com -I
$HOSTADDRESS$ --onredirect follow -p 8080 -wt 20 -ct 30 -to 35 -u
http://www.yahoo.com -s HTML
        }

$HOSTADDRESS$ corresponds to the IP of your proxy. You could of course
hard code the $HOSTADDRESS$ to be your proxy and make the -H and -u
arguments variable to check other sites via the proxy.

Message-ID: <75C1ACB4128E7C45A4F1D0238B346C5B04D1F5@gondor.tor.ii3.com>

Hi all,

I was having some problems installing Nagios on my Debian (sarge) system using the Debian packages retrieved through apt-get. I have instead opted to compile, build, and install from the generic source tarballs. However, the sample init.d script they provide was problematic, so I instead opted to use the one provided by the Debian package I originally installed. I had to hack it a bit, but it now works rather nicely using the Debian standard "start-stop-daemon". If you have Nagios installed from source tarballs in the default location (/usr/local/nagios), you should be able to drop the attached script right into your /etc/init.d directory. When you install it, be sure the owner is set to "root.root" and that it is chmod'ded to 755.

Regards,
Warren

Can someone tell me the most common reason for simply not
getting a notification for a host-down, when...

1.  contacts file says 'd,r'
2.  we got the 'r' notification...!!
3.  the host was down for app 35 min
4.  notifications are sent every 15 min
5.  we could see the host down condition as it from
	any web display
6.  history is clear and complete with a down, down, down
....not down notification was sent to the 5 contacts...but recovery
was sent...

What is the error you are getting from the configure script? That should
point to the specific library you are having problems with.

Another suggestion would be to use "apt-get source" to get the deb package
source files for the newer Nagios in unstable and back-port the package
yourself. If you need more help with building the deb package feel free to
contact me off-list.

Subject: Getting an intermittent permissions problem
Message-ID: <D918402BD8B057E2C966AEF7@oberon.linfield.edu>

Hi,

I just installed nagios and have started adding config data.  I also followed
the install instructions to properly secure all the pages.  The end result,
however, is inconsistent.  For example, when I click on the host detail link,
about one third of the time the page loads without any problem.  But the
other two thirds of the time, instead of the data, I get the following
displayed under the column headers:

    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.


Security should either disable my access everytime or allow it.  The behavior
I'm seeing is inconsistent and confusing.  Anybody have any ideas?

<marc> Yes, it's normal. Nagios only uses the database to store current

wasn't designed to do so.

Subject: hostextinfo being ignored
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0405131550490.1055@mordor.clayton.edu>

This is making me rip out whatever hair I have left!

In my cfg.cgi, I have this line:
xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg

which contains stuff such as
define hostextinfo {
        host_namename linuxhosts
        icon_image linux40.png
        vrml_image linux40.png
        statusmap_image linux40.gd2
        name linuxhosts
}
define hostextinfo {
        host_name dragon
        use     linuxhosts
	2d_coords 40,40
}

Seems okay.  The above 3 images are in
/usr/share/nagios/htdocs/images/logos.  Yet no matter what I put in the
hostsextinfo.cfg file, it seems as if it is ignored.  At no place in
nagios do any of the above "custom" icons show up (they are the ones that
are avail, but custom in that they are not the question mark).   On the
status map, everything is the question mark.  However, if I replace
unknown.gd2 with, say linux40.gd2, then they are all linux icons.   I have
checked and the config files are all world-readable, so it shouldn't be a
permissions thing.

Also, if I choose User-supplied coords in the layout method, I am told I
have not supplied any.    Even removing hostextinfo.cfg or putting garbage
in doesn't cause any thing to work different.    Of course, at no time is
there any indication of a problem.

This is all with the nagios 1.2 packages (nagios-text 1-2) on Debian.

something to do with ssh-keygen, a public file and a "authorized_keys 
functionality" within SSH but which gives me the feeling that I've been given 
some realy GREAT hints but no "Aha!"

If someone could kindly points me to a concise HOW-TO or somesuch I'd be quite 
happy to RTFM.

Thank you.

Found the answer to my own problem.  Turns out it is a debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=239174

While the debian build files claim it's built with
--with-template-extinfo, this is not true.  The build is actually missing
that.   Rebuilding using the configure line it says it uses cleared it
right up.

I sent this info along to the debian bug e-mail address - I hope it goes
to the right place. :)

To: Nagios Developers
Subject: 2.0 CVS patch for Aggressive Stale Check directive (and the
option to disable it)

The patch is located here:

http://www.xney.com/nagios/nagios-2.0-aggressive_stale_checks.patch


We run a distributed nagios environment with 3 slave servers reporting
to 1 master server.  It works great, except for two scenarios:

1) The slave server has a service go down with dependent services
attached to it.  The slave server (correctly) stops running service
checks for the dependent services.  The master server stops getting
passive check results.  The service on the master eventually goes stale,
forcing an active check.

2) The slave server has a service (or host) taken down administratively
(for example, a reboot).  The slave stops submitting service check
information to the master.  The master executes forced active checks
when the service information goes stale.

In both situations, there are three somewhat serious consequences:

a) Checks are performed when they don't need to be, consuming resources
and clogging up status information.  (This is especially true if you
have a service that many other services depend on, which we do)

b) Notifications are sent out when not needed due to service being
marked down or it having failed dependencies

c) Handlers are executed on services that shouldn't have them running
(due to dependency failure or administrative down situation)


(Note: All these issues potentially affect host checks as well)


My patch creates a new service and host configuration directive:
"aggressive_stale_checks", which by default is enabled.  When it is
turned OFF, Nagios will check a few things before executing a forced
service or host check, just like a normal host or service check.   If,
for example, an execution dependency fails with aggressive stale checks
turned off, then the check will not be performed.

This would result in stale information, but that's OK, if it's what is
intended.  The same thing, after all, happens with active checks.

To preserve compatibility with the previous way freshness and stale
checks worked, the aggressive_stale_checks option is, by default, on.  

Let me know if there are any questions, comments, or concerns.

The patch applies to my locally modified CVS source, which has the
service dependencies patch/fix I submitted a few weeks ago as well.  I
just tried applying it against the May 13th CVS snapshot and it applied
cleanly, though.

	While I'm not the Debian developer responsible for maintaining
the Nagios package(s), I am a Debian developer nonetheless. If you had a
problem with the packaging I would recommend checking the Debian Bug
Tracking System (BTS) [1] to see if it's been reported and if not report it
so the package can be fixed. I can see one open bug that references the
init.d script having problems and not sure if it relates to the problems
you had that made you take these measures. If you've got a solution then
including that with a bug report generally gets it fixed quicker.

I have instead opted to compile, build, and install from the generic source tarballs. However, the sample init.d script they provide was problematic, so I instead opted to use the one provided by the Debian package I originally installed. I had to hack it a bit, but it now works rather nicely using the Debian standard "start-stop-daemon". If you have Nagios installed from source tarballs in the default location (/usr/local/nagios), you should be able to drop the attached script right into your /etc/init.d directory. When you install it, be sure the owner is set to "root.root" and that it is chmod'ded to 755.

If you need to check an authenticated proxy then :-

1 you may be able to use one of the HTTP schemes to pass the password in 
the request or in the environment

HTTP_PROXY=http://Unser:Password at Proxy:Proxy_Port/ or

2 use a proxy aware application such as lynx, or

3 build your own with a web client library (eg Curl) or Class (eg with 
the CPAN module named LWP) or

4 use one of the complete web client Classes from CPAN such as 
WWW:Automate/WWW::Mechanize.

The last approach is useful if you want to check a dynamic web 
service such as a shopping cart application or a database search.

Yours sincerely.

Hello List,

i have find the bug in nagios with mysql yesterday.

See: http://wiki.tryphon.org/LinuxWiki/NagiosInstall

Nagios with mysql don't use the status.log. 

Than the check_nagios don't work, and you must update the
nagios-start-script and check_nagios.

You can find the update also on teh site: 

http://wiki.tryphon.org/LinuxWiki/NagiosInstall

Message-ID: <83B3FCAD284096489C9967C54B33B6B302AD51B8@sigma.inamed.com>

Hi,
Is it possible to specify some specific interval between Host rechecks ?

I have defined "max_check_attempts  2" for some hosts before a
notification is sent. However nagios performs these checks within 30
seconds and sends out the notification. Is it possible to configure
nagios for some specific interval (e.g. 3 minutes) before it retries for
the second time ?
I tried to used "retry_check_interval" option in hosts.cfg but it gives
a configuration error ?

Thanks
\\ Naman

Subject: Availability comparison of Win$ and Unix/Linux hosts [OT ?]
Message-ID: <1084515549.22538.25.camel@raptor.lenze.com>

Hello, 

I've a little problem finding some data for a paper I've to write and I
guess, that at lest some of you can provide the data I'm seeking.

I've to write a paper about the estimation of the availability of Win$
machines in comparison to Unix/Linux machines. I was not able to find
any data published on the net and my nagios setup is obviously broken
with respect of generating the necessary availability reports.

Could someone please provide me with some data ? What I need is the host
availability over (say) a three month period (perhaps the downtimes
separated into planned/unplanned) for some Win$ & Unix machines. 

If you are monitoring the availability of Oracle and SQL Server
instances also, these data would be nice to have also.

The background is, that my company likes to set up a traceability system
for some electronic production lines. If the traceability system fails,
the production will simply stop until the traceability system comes back
to life.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Thomas

Your nagios servers IP probably isn't mentioned in the 'allowed_hosts' 
section in your nrpe.conf on the solaris machine.

Also, if check_nrpe was compiled WITH ssl support and NRPE was compiled 
without, you have to specify the '-n' flag to check_nrpe, so to make it 
use a non-ssl connection (otherwise the handshake will fail, and it will 
tell you so).

Be aware though that check_by_ssh requires public key authentication, 
and as such adds an additional security risk to your network.

checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)... (cached) no

checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 3)... (cached) no

After this there comes this info message box that configure wasn't
able to locate the GD, PNG and/or JPEG libraries.

So it seems to be the libgd?!

Building own packages is ok for me with dpkg-buildpackage, but
I hope that backporting will work but is not my prefered way :-)

Subject: Tool for centralised deployment of NRPE configs
Message-ID: <BCCA446A.2F449%simon.lorenz@fresca.co.uk>

Morning all,

Is anyone aware of a solution to the problem of managing multiple config
files across an NRPE monitored network? The number of devices we support is
growing rapidly and it would be most beneficial to have an 'Enterprise'
style config management tool kit to push configs and config updates to the
remote devices. With out this solution large network config changes are
certainly going to become something of a time drain + the current
requirement to login, edit, and restart the daemon is very clunky .

I have been considering this for some time, and wondered if this already
exits in some form, or how others get around this issue? Otherwise I intend
to look at developing such a tool kit.

Regards

Simon

We tend to break down the architecture into different config files based
on the client name; and as we have 2 nagios servers, we have a script
that when run does a reload on the "master" server, and if it restarts
sucessfully, scp's the config files to the other server. Not quite
"Enterprise Management", but for us it's the next best thing and works
well.

Subject: Nagios And MySQL
Message-ID: <200405140908.i4E98rFj028980@av-inet.police.se>

Hi! Here is another newbee question.

 

I'm trying to compile Nagios with MySQL support to use it with NagMin.

 

The configuration seems to go ok, but when I try to make all it stops with
the errors below.

 

Anyone that got a clue to put me on the right track?

 

Best regards. Magnus.

Subject: Integration of Nagios into Trouble-Ticket-Syst

Message-ID: <E8CC59D8B30BBA4D857F43468A8FEE6501439B43@dkcnm201.exse02.exch.eds.com>

I have no knowledge of OTRS, but I have made integrations to both Unicenter, and Tivoli earlier. The Unicenter integration was also a Helpdesk integration (ahd).
Both these integrations was made using event-handlers. In my opinion, this is the best approach when it comes to integrating Nagios with other systems. Together with the available macros in Nagios there should be no problem in accomplishing what you want.

/magnus




Dear List,

I am quite unhappy with our integration of Nagios into
our Trouble-Ticket-System (OTRS).
With the standard standard mail functionality of Nagios
it is quite uncomfortable as every mail creates a new
ticket.

Thats why I wanted to ask if somebody has experiences in
integration Nagios into a Trouble-Ticket-System, especially
into OTRS?
Has somebody figured out the best way and the stumbling
blocks for the integration?

The optimum would in my eyes would be some ticket opening
on WARNINGS or ERRORS, the automatic ticket closing on
RECOVERYs and the changes of the agent who is working on
the problem with some comment, when acknowleding a problem.

Thanks for all input,

Matthias

What is your check_disk definition in nrpe.cfg ?

Example:
If in nrpe.cfg, you define this :
command[check_disk_test]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w $ARG1$ 
-c $ARG2$

In definition of service, you must write:

check_command	check_nrpe!check_disk_test!20%!10%

You need the mysql-devel (and possibly mysql-shared) package(s), which 
contains the header files and DSO's required for compilation. Why the 
./configure-script detected it if it isn't available, I don't know...

You have to run "nrpe -c <config-file> -i" when you're running it from 
(x)inetd.
Also, SSL libraries and header files must be present on the system where 
you compile and run the daemon, or things will fail miserably.

Check /var/{log,adm}/messages for details.

Thanks for your response.

Actually, I figured out what the problem was last night.  The 1.9 version 
wanted the "-inetd" option when running from inetd.  The 2.0 version wants 
just "-i" when running from inetd.

The extra characters after the "-i" for v2.0 created errors and prevented nrpe 
from responding to check_nrpe, thus the 0 byte response and the lack of 
errors in /var/adm/messages on the solaris box.

All is well with NRPE in my world now.

Aha!  "man ssh" and "man sshd" didn't give me what I was after... 
"ssh/sshd_config will probably make all the difference.

Yes, from what I've seen primarily because a vulnerability on one machine 
becomes a vulnerability on all pk authenticated machines... I gave NRPE a 
last-ditch retry last night and figured out my mistake.  That's working now 
so while I'll keep this information handy for future use, I probably won't 
use it for my nagios box.

Thanks for the response!

Subject: Use of "-e" option of check_disk
Message-ID: <40A4CE37.6030301@cict.fr>

Hi,

What does someone use the '-e' (--errors-only) option of check disk?

Because i don't understand the result of this command:

./check_disk -e -w 10% -c 5% -X lofs -X nfs
DISK CRITICAL - free space: /var/mail.avant.coque 1085 MB (10%);
/aurore6 305 MB (8%); /aurore9 1546 MB (8%); /aurore14 4666 MB (94%);
/aurore15 3384 MB (70%);| /=996MB;2292;2419;0;2547
/tmp=4333MB;3899;4116;0;4333
/var/mail.avant.coque=1085MB;9983;10538;0;11093
/usr/local=759MB;3631;3833;0;4035 /aurore1=1721MB;2723;2874;0;3026
/aurore2=1185MB;2723;2874;0;3026 /aurore3=3803MB;3902;4119;0;4336
/aurore4=1023MB;3631;3833;0;4035 /aurore5=1031MB;3631;3833;0;4035
/aurore6=304MB;3631;3833;0;4035 /aurore7=2127MB;2257;2382;0;2508
/aurore8=12265MB;18152;19160;0;20169 /aurore9=1546MB;18152;19160;0;20169
/aurore10=3421MB;18152;19160;0;20169

/aurore13=24646MB;34092;35986;0;37881 /aurore14=4665MB;4954;4954;0;4954
/aurore15=3384MB;4840;4840;0;4840

Why the output displays "/aurore14 4666 MB (94%)" and  "/aurore15 3384
MB (70%)" whereas they have respectively 94% and 70% of free space? What
is the goal of the "--errors-only" option?

Thanks you for help.

Carole.

Not quite.  If your monitoring machine is vulnerable to external attack
X but your monitored machines are not (things are usually the other
way around with monitored machines running additional services to the
ones run on the monitoring machine), and external attack X allows the
attacker to become the Nagios user then he can use the PK vulnerability
to get onto other machines as the Nagios user. 

So, in most cases if there's an external attack X that affects your
monitoring machine it will also affect your monitored machines and
the attacker doesn't need the PK exploit.  Only if the monitoring machine
runs services that the monitoring machines don't, or has other
vulnerabilities, is this a potential problem.  The attacker may then
be able to access confidential data on the monitored machines, if you
are foolish enough to leave it readable by Nagios.  The attacker may
also be able to use one or more local exploits to gain root on the
monitored machines, but only needs the PK attack to do so if the
monitored machines are not vulnerable to external attack X. 

> I gave NRPE a last-ditch retry last night and figured out my mistake.  

I have used NRPE but abandoned it mainly because the NRPE config file
is nothing like the Nagios config file so it's a real pain configuring
many machines with many services.  Even worse if you need to use NRPE
to talk to a firewall to make it use NRPE to monitor several machines
behind the firewall.  I was also slightly unhappy about the fact that
somebody who could sniff traffic to a monitored box could send NRPE
checks with a spoofed IP of the monitoring machine) and get answers
(unlikely they'd want to, though). 

Then I tried check_by_ssh.  It works for remote machines, but I couldn't
get it to chain so that I could use it to talk to a firewall to get it
to invoke check_by_ssh on the firewall to check a machine behind the
firewall.  I was probably doing something wrong, but I gave up on that
approach too.  Yes, I could have made it work by port forwarding on the
firewalls, but I was annoyed with check_by_ssh by then. 

So I switched to NSCA.  That takes quite a load off the monitoring machine.
Machines behind firewalls and which don't have an external IP can still
be monitored as long as they are masqueraded.  The major downside is that
it's a service running on the monitoring machine that isn't running on
the monitored machines and might be vulnerable.  But as long as you're
not also using check_by_ssh then it doesn't let people get at the
monitored machines through the PK vulnerability.  It's also a problem
if you're monitoring several untrusted machines with different customers
because you have to run separate instances of the daemon on separate ports
to be able to give them different passwords. 

Another way of monitoring remote machines would be to use a VPN.  That
means the authentication overhead happens infrequently rather than with
each service check.  The trouble is that the only VPN technology that
copes reasonably well with network outages is PPTP (and even that sometimes
needs to be restarted after it gets confused) but the authentication is
weak.  IPSec with the Cisco extensions might be robust against network
outages but I haven't played with it. 

All of the approaches have advantages and disadvantages.

I never saw a reply that answered this question directly.

I'd like to know the answer to this too. . . Do people agree that:
	1) this is a problem with "bogus" packet loss  AND
	b) check_fping fixes it?

Thanks,

Exactly what I meant, though not what I said.  So much for cliff's notes on

Hellow everyone:

 

I've been able to get SNMPTT to accept a trap and pass it to
"submit_check_result" script but Nagios is not changing the passive service
object to warning condition.  I've executed the "submit_check_result"
manually and could not get Nagios to change the service object from Okay to
Warning:

 

[root at nagios eventhandlers]# ./submit_check_result TestRouter TRAP 1
"Ethernet down test"

 

 

Can someone look at my service object and see if I have anything
mis-configured?  I am able to perform all external commands but I just can't
get nagios.cmd to execute and cause a passive check to change from green to
yellow.   I was able to output the results of the "submit_check_results" and
found that it was spitting out the right output.  See blow for script.   Any
help will be greatly appreciated

The bogus packet loss is encountered when threshold values are set 
higher than per-packet timeout values (the plugin stops listening after 
a timeout, so packets received after that are considered erroneous).
I wrote a replacement some time ago which addresses this and various 
other issues. Browse the archives, and you'll find it there (check_fping 
replacement blahblah), or wait until it's included in the default plugin 
package (as check_icmp I believe).

Subject: revised nagios rc script to fix multiple instance problem
Message-ID: <1084550794.32292.40.camel@localhost>


With the constant problem with people having multiple running nagios
instances (which has also caught me more than a few times), I hacked
some logic into the rc script to wait for processes to die.  This
should, in theory, stop that from happening (I've yet to see a
recurrence, myself).

Notably, if you do a quick stop/start, there's no guarantees (though
it's easy to add the logic to the stop case).  I just don't like to have
to wait for a stop, because if I'm stopping, it's for a while (so all
nagios processes will have time to die).

Let me know what you think.

BTW, I know I should edit the daemon-init.in in the source, but I'd only
done this for myself originally, so I've not done that part.  If the
devel team wants it for the source, I can, though.   Just ask.

What are some of the setups that are in use for off-site notification in the 
event that the mail-server goes down?

Currently I we'll have the nagios process email things directly to our phones, 
but if the email server or gateway goes down we'll never hear about it.

There's probably a plethora of ways to skin this feline, I'm interested in 
hearing some of the options.

I use qpage (http://www.qpage.org/) and external modems to page our teams
using TAP.  I don't have to worry if the networks or the mailservers go
away - the page goes out regardless (except in case of POTS line failure,
but we don't need to go there).

That is what it looks like to me. Looking at the list from your first
message, you appear to have the libgd-dev package installed so the files
should be there. Maybe the configure script is looking for the libraries
in the wrong place? That would be my only guess.

Subject: Nagios with high server count, how to organize

This question is more directed to those with 50+ servers to even 1000+
servers. After a point, the service detail page, and even the status map,
get a little overwhelmed with all the servers on the list. Is there a way to
organize the server list in a more manageable manner? Can I show just a
certain list of servers I choose, or organize them by area/os/etc? I plan on
have a few hundred servers on Nagios, and I would prefer not having to
create a new Nagios instance for each department.
Also, this setup would be useful so that I can make sure that department 1
only sees their servers, and department 2 sees another group of servers, but
department 3 might need to see multiple groups, etc. I haven't found an easy
way to do this yet.

Also, on dependencies. Can I set up Nagios in a manner that if router 4 is
down, that Nagios won't bother telling me that all the servers behind router
4 are down? I currently have a setup where these servers are told what their
parent is, but it still tells me that every server is unreachable when the
router is down.

Misao,

Service detail has much too much information to be useful.  We usually
just watch the "Service Problems" page.  If you need to be able to
browse hosts, I would create arbitrary (logical) hostgroups and browse
them with Hostgroup Overview and Hostgroup Summary.  

If you are running 2.0, you can also use Service Groups. 

The way you can split it up by departments is to create hostgroups and
make them contacts for their own hostgroups but not others.
Alternately, you just have hostgroups that they can click through (if
being able to see other hostgroups is not a security issue)

Check out the notification options for hosts to remove the "unreachable"
messages.    In the host objects, you want:

notification_options [d,u,r,f]

remove the "u".  (we use D & R in our setup)

Karl

there's a patch on the apan site to show groups on the left menu.  it's
VERY nice.

What version of nagios are you running?  If it's 2.x you'll need a newer
patch (I can send you mine, if you want).  it's easy.

Use hostgroups to create views. A host can be in more than one hostgroup
so you could have overlap if you need it. You'll be able to create
servicegroups in 2.0 I believe.

Nagios does this by default with authentication enabled. Users are only
able to see hosts and services that they are authorized contacts for.
It's well documented.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/cgiauth.html

Remove the 'u' (unreachable) directive from your notification_options in
your host definitions.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#host --

notifications_options: This directive is used to determine when
notifications for the host should be sent out. Valid options are a
combination of one or more of the following: d = send notifications on a
DOWN state, u = send notifications on an UNREACHABLE state, and r = send
notifications on recoveries (OK state). If you specify n (none) as an
option, no host notifications will be sent out. Example: If you specify
d,r in this field, notifications will only be sent out when the host
goes DOWN and when it recovers from a DOWN state.

All very useful, thanks for the info. I had always thought that 'u' was
unknown state, and was useful for when a plug-in errored, but I see that was
wrong. That will most likely fix a lot of problems for me in reporting.

I haven't really had a chance to play with auth in Nagios just yet, as all I
have is the Nagios login and a guest login for people to see what I have
been up to. If I can control what is viewable by username, then that will be
great.

Grouping by hostgroup I have not done yet, and I will see if I can do as you
suggested. I only use service detail as a base because it seems to give a
lot of good info at once, and for some reason my Nagios made that the
default page. 

I am currently using a standard Nagios 1.2, and I have no idea what NagMIN
is. I have only seen it mentioned on the mailing list, but not on any
websites. I guess I should do some digging. Thanks for the info again.

'u' is indeed the unknown state, but only for services.  For hosts, it
is the unreachable state.  (There is no 'unknown' state for hosts)

Subject: configure nagios with mysql
Message-ID: <200405151549070187.00C93769@smtp.shellprovider.net>

Hello list,
i am just new to the list and got some trouble
to install nagios 1.2 + mysql on redhat 9.0
with mysql-3.23.58-1.9 ( devel also installed )
I browsed through the ML but couldnt find
anything that would help me.

I configured nagios with these options:

 ./configure --prefix=/var/www/nagios/ --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-grp=nagios --with-mysql-xdata \
 --with-mysql-status --with-mysql-comments --with-mysql-extinfo --with-mysql-retention --with-mysql-downtime \
 --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/mysql/ --with-mysql-inc=/usr/include/mysql/

my ld.so.conf:

/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/include/mysql

The problem is that the configure scripts always says lmysqlclient not installed.

<snap>
checking for main in -lmysqlclient... (cached) no


*** MySQL library could not be located... **************************

You chose to compile Nagios with MySQL support, but I was unable to
locate the MySQL library on your system.  If the library is
installed,  use the --with-mysql-lib and --with-mysql-inc arguments
to specify the locations of the MySQL library and include files.
</snap>

Well i read in ML that the script requires mysql.h
[root at server3 SOURCES]# find /usr/include/mysql/ -name mysql.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h

my /usr/lib/mysql directory includes these files:
[root at server3 mysql]# pwd
/usr/lib/mysql
[root at server3 mysql]# ls
libdbug.a         libmysqlclient_r.a          libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0

You need mysql-shared as well (at least for MySQL 4.x).

I installed mysql-shared 4.1.1 which works with mysql
3.23.58 but always get same error that lmysqlclient
could not be located on the system.
I get a little bit confused about that.
Maybe somebody has another idea or hint?

Hi list ,
its me again. 
The configure script of nagios check
for mysqlclient not for lmysqlclient so on 
my Redhat system it wasnt found.
Maybe a redhat only issue.
I changed it only for testing and now it works for me.
Now the script find the lmysqlclient and compiling
was also sucessfull.
Because i am new to the list here i am not sure if
it is allowed to append .diff files to e-mails so i put
it here:

I actually came across this on a fresh install a few weeks ago, I could 
not fathom why my install would always look in the /nagios/ dir for the 
stylesheet.

to put it simply I corrected this by adding this nasty entry in my 
virtual host entry

-->   Alias /nagios/ /export/home/nagios/share/ --<
         <Directory "/export/home/nagios/share">
                 Options None
                 AllowOverride AuthConfig
                 Order allow,deny
                 Allow from all
         </Directory>

I realise this probably looks nasty and I presume this isn't the norm 
for this fix but hey.. if it works.. good on it :)

Its strange because this is not the first installation of nagios I have 
done but it is the first on the show this symptom.

Good luck

Hi,

When i run nrpe daemon with the -i options it shows
the daemon pid when i run ps -ef |grep nrpe. but when
i run  in standalone daemon mode with the -d option
./nrpe -c <configfile> -d 
when i check the log it states "Network Bind failure
:98 Address already in use

How do i rectify it..

ok, thanx

but i have no vhost configured, and i have the scriptalias and after that
the alias configured as described in the documentation, and will always
pointet to /usr/local/nagios/cgi-bin/nagios/... which must be
/usr/local/nagios/share... .
Is there a possibility to restrict the scriptalias section to only rewrite
access to /usr/local/nagios/cgi-bin (which is /usr/local/nagios/sbin)

Here`s my apache2 config:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
    Options None
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I actually came across this on a fresh install a few weeks ago, I could
not fathom why my install would always look in the /nagios/ dir for the
stylesheet.

to put it simply I corrected this by adding this nasty entry in my
virtual host entry

-->   Alias /nagios/ /export/home/nagios/share/ --<
         <Directory "/export/home/nagios/share">
                 Options None
                 AllowOverride AuthConfig
                 Order allow,deny
                 Allow from all
         </Directory>

I realise this probably looks nasty and I presume this isn't the norm
for this fix but hey.. if it works.. good on it :)

Its strange because this is not the first installation of nagios I have
done but it is the first on the show this symptom.

Good luck

Subject: nagios does not siplays all hosts
Message-ID: <Sea1-F165hG4YalgQkd00016632@hotmail.com>

I have configured Nagios and its functioning with zero errors and 
warnings.But there is this display of Nagios that i'm not able.
Initially i configured it to monitor 2 ftp servers. That woked fine. Then i 
configured it for one more ftp server and one Imap server. Now Nagios does 
not show the details of these two hosts and services all the time. Its after 
some regular intervals that i get to see the details of these two hosts and 
services.
Kindly help,
Thanks in advance,
Swati

That's actually exactly as is documented at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/installweb.html (except for your special share directory path of course).

Betreff: [Nagios-users] Non-Email notifications...


What are some of the setups that are in use for off-site notification in the 
event that the mail-server goes down?

Currently I we'll have the nagios process email things directly to our phones, 
but if the email server or gateway goes down we'll never hear about it.

There's probably a plethora of ways to skin this feline, I'm interested in 
hearing some of the options.

TIA.

Hello,

I finally got nagios running, but I'm having an issue with Availability and 
treds.cgi, it seems like even if I create 24 Hour reports it says that the 
host is down (Undetermined)... I already taked a peek at the FAQ and it 
didn't helped. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction of what 
do I have to check (Config, server).

You can take a peek at my nagios on http://66.197.216.85/nagios/

Thanks in Advance.
Francisco

I don't know the specifics of what would cause it, but it seems that the
logs that keep track of host/service events don't get saved or they
can't be read by the apache user. Look into that in the filesystem
level.

chown nagios.nagios -R /usr/local/nagios/{var,share}
chmod 644 -R /usr/local/nagios/{var,share}
chmod 755 `find /usr/local/nagios -type d`
should take care of it for you.

/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log and /usr/local/nagios/var/archive/*.
Permissions should be 664 or some other machination that allows your web
server user to access them.

Hi,

It seems like it isn't created, what should I do? Is this why I'm getting 
100% Undetermined?

BTW; Yes I did read that.

Thanks

I made the assumption that it was a default install. Is that the path
you have specified in nagios.cfg? --

log_archive_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/archives

Subject: Check_oracle db and tns
Message-ID: <50323A86875DE74F9153476BF39E451A02923005@UNISERVER01>

Hi all,

I would like to know what can I do to check_oracle db and tns?
I add the config below in the specific files.

Follow config files:
-checkcommands.cfg
	define command{
		command_name	check_oradb
		command_line		$USER1$/check_oracle	-H
$HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG$

- services.cfg
	.....
	check_command	check_oracle! --db test

Error message:
Service test - Cannot determine ORACLE_HOME for sid 

Which more I have to do?

Thanks,

I have this in my check oracle (well, with my tns name there instead of
that).  I'm only checking one oracle service so I just have it hard coded.

What I had to do is make sure that my oracle environment was setup before
nagios ran.  I have
export ORAENV_ASK=NO
export ORACLE_SID=oracle
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv

in my nagios startup script, so it is all good to go.

Thanks man!

I created /usr/local/nagios/var/archive/ and chown it to nagios and it 
worked :)

Now, I have a problem on http://monitor.navigatoris.us/nagios/ Just check it 
out, it gives some UNKNOWN things...

Thanks :)

Subject: send_nsca binding to a defined host address.
Message-ID: <1084849163.31153.66.camel@titan.fx.net.nz>

Hi,

I'm using send_nsca on a host that has multiple ip addresses (that are
on the same physical interface) - including a Vtun tunnel. Hm,
fun'n'games.com.

Anyway, send_nsca is binding to a locally significant but not routable
RFC1918 address (i.e. the tunnel address). I would like it to bind it to
one of the public addresses that I have defined on the (eth) interface
(and not the tun interface).

I note that nsca has this facility, but send_nsca does not. Is there a
patch floating around for this?

...Or am I going to have to do ugly evil horrible smelly things with
NAT?

TIA,

jamie

Subject: NRPE problems
Message-ID: <loom.20040518T055258-365@post.gmane.org>

I use NRPE for ping local-hosts with private addresses. After the host where  
is started a demon has visited in down and again up, service using check-nrpe  
by the central machine too becomes down and up, but the host for which it is  
verifying of the arisen condition down does not leave any more. In nagios.log  
there are such lines:  
 
[1084832453] HOST ALERT: adsl01;DOWN;HARD;10;(No output returned from host  
check) 
[1084832453] SERVICE ALERT: adsl01;local_ping;CRITICAL;HARD;1;Connection  
refused by host 
[1084833073] SERVICE ALERT: adsl01;local_ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss  
= 0%, RTA = 6.63 ms 
 
The first SERVICE ALERT does not grow out real check! I do not understand  
whence this line undertakes. The status of a host remains red and varies on  
green only after restart nagios. If someone met such problem, help me please!

Hey,

Yes, but the nsca host is at the other end of the tunnel. I've done that
to make the tunnel work for other hosts anyway.

Thanks for the help. It turns out that I'd clutzed ncsa.cfg, and I now
appear to have it working. Yay for me.

Developers, FWIW, I think this would be a really good feature addition
(address binding) to add to send_nsca...

Hi everybody,

I m using nagios monitoring tool on production level.
nagios queris nsclient for status data.Does it have any
configuration so that i can bind that agent to a particular IP addres to which
it has to return the status.I am having two servers running nagios server.

If i install nsclient on a NT server.Both the nagios server are capable of polling information from the ns cliant.I want to make it such that it will respond to a particular nagios server only.

You have to export ORACLE_HOME in your nagios home dir .bash_profile or whatever and
restart Nagios.

1) I have configured nagios check_procs command to check Nagios process by 
supplying the process id with which it is running.Only when i see the host 
details, i get the status information as OK-1 processes running...whereas, 
on all the other options (eg.service detail, status overview, etc.), it 
shows a warning for the corresponding entry. In service detail, it states 
WARNING-0 processes running with ppid-15904.

2) Also, I have configured check_procs to monitor a process on some other 
host by supplying the process id. That host is Up. But it always shows this 
WARNING-0 processes running with PPID=2177.
I want to monitor a particular process on this host,like, how many child 
processes it spawns,etc.This host is in our LAN.

Kindly help,
Thanks in advance,
Swati

Subject: CentOS
Message-ID: <40A9BEDE.8090304@dhl.com>

Aloha,

Until today all Nagios installations I did were done on RedHat Linux. 
Now that RedHat wants to make some bucks as well, I started to look for 
alternatives for the -quite expensive- RHEL. I'm happy to say that 
CentOS (http://www.centos.org) hasn't failed me so far. A perfect clone 
with quick updates available and an active community.

Anyway, enough advertising. I'm about to start a migration of our 
current nagios setup (1.0 on RH 7.3). Has anyone got any experiences 
they want to share regarding Nagios on CentOS? And what do former RedHat 
users use now for their Nagios implementations?

Thanks,
Tom

Also, what happened to the search button on sourceforge's list archives? Coulda sworn there was one in the past, but the page looks to be missing now.

hi swati,

firstly you need to configure nrpe daemon on the
remote host to check_procs. else it will monitor the
prrocs on the localhost only. if you want to monitor
procs you need to compile nrpe on the remote host and
install the nrpe daemon as a standalone or an xinetd
service later from the nagios host you throw commands
using check_nrpe to the nrpe daemon which will give
you the procs running on the remote host.
do you need the syntax for check_procs ?????
or is it okay with the config..

We're migrating around 30 servers from Red Hat to Fedora, it's going 
pretty well so far. Upgrading with Apt seems smooth, Fedora feels just 
like RH, and the range of packaged software available is excellent.

Cheers, Chris.

"check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage! "...
This means that you don't have the arguments to check_ping specified
correctly in your command definition. Run 'check_ping --help' for
specifics on what it expects. I use --

$USER1$/check_ping $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 500,30% -c 1000,60% -p 10 -t 30

Search for 'statusmap' in the FAQ. One of the results is very likely
your answer.

After thorough Google research, I found evidence that there were minor 
problems with the Perl TK package.  There was someone who had fixed the 
code themselves, and created an RPM package for Fedora (Core 1).  The 
person in question has also already submitted the patch to the Perl TK 
maintainers.

Using that RPM fixed my problem.  It's called 
perl-Tk-804.027-1bw.i386.rpm and it's located on this page:

We'd like to be able to graph that information using Nagios and see over

If anyone has anything that integrates well into Nagios, I'd be much
obliged.
Thanks.

Right, I was already planning on incorporating it into our current MRTG
setup. Still looking for some plugins for MRTG and instructions on how
best to do this. Any suggestions for setting it up with cricket? I
haven't tried cricket yet and would be willing to do so.
But management has been so taken with our Nagios install, they asked if
anything could be done to incorporate these strips into the current
Nagios setup.
Just an example of Nagios being too successful and management expecting
more from it.
Thanks.
KJ

Well, I don't think our APC's give that much info, but this sounds like
something more suited for cricket (cricket.sourceforge.net) as it's
design is to show data over time.   Nagios is more for letting  you know
when something goes into a state it shouldn't be in.

Cricket has the ability to fire off notifications if something goes
outside a range.  I haven't done it yet, but will be setting up our
temperature monitor in cricket to let nagios know via a passive service
check.   Though I may just have nagios run an external command
and directly monitor the temperature...haven't fully decided yet.

We were a RH 7.1 shop when management decided to migrate to Whitebox linux
http://whiteboxlinux.org.  We run about a dozen Nagios 1.0 - 1.2
installations in a central/distributed configuration.

I'm still a bit leery about the loss of up2date from the switch as well as
the security implications from introducing a (one-man?) dependency in the
timeline from security bug to patch.

Hey all, new here...
Have a few servers I am monitoring succesfully with Nagios... SUN and

However, I have one server that will not cooperate... It's a sun box running
Solaris 7...
I have 2 other solaris 7 boxes running, same patch levels, same versions of
openssl, openssh etc...
NRPE compiled fine, installed fine, runs fine, yet when the nagios host
calls the check_nrpe for that server, I get "Unable to complete SSL

suggestions appreciated!

Cricket is very similar to MRTG - I just find it easier to work with so I
use it.  MRTG may have a similiar feature for this.

In cricket, this doc explains the monitor thresholds
  http://cricket.sourceforge.net/support/doc/monitor-thresholds.html
I'd just use the EXEC action and have it create a passive service check as
described here http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/passivechecks.html

Just setup a link in nagios to your mtrg/cricket monitor...that way the
info is there and a little more flexiable.

You could try to do it with the historgram's in Nagios, but that is just a
big overview of was it in a good or bad state.  By tying it into a rrdtool
based system, you get the ability to see that for 3 days before it went
into the bad state, port 7 started to have a climb in it's amp draw or
something like that.

I think I know the answer to this, but....

Is it possible to monitor a service that doesn't have a host (without
defining a dummy host - may have to use loopback as a host definition!)???

If you use a dummy host, yes.

Define a host object, but give it, for example, the localhost IP.  Then
create the service check which doesn't use $HOSTNAME$ or $HOSTADDRESS$
macros - it'll work.

Well,
Removed SSL, SSH, my compiler and all libs, re-installed all, removed the
directories with the NRPE source and recompiled/reinstalled, even COPIED the
binaries off another Solaris 7 server (that works) and used them, and same
problem...  Fortunately ijn the next month or so we will be rebuilding that
server with Solaris 9, and it's been fairly trouble free for the last 2
years, so it will have to wait.

Run check_nrpe with the -n switch, or try this backwards ssl/non-ssl 
compatible version I wrote some time ago (posted earlier, but not to 
this list). Note thought that it's the plugin (check_nrpe) that's 
'all-flavour' compatible. It wouldn't make much sense to make the daemon 
(nrpe) abide to the wims of the client, so that'll probably never happen.

For complete compatibility it requires that openssl 0.9.6 or later is 
installed on your nagios server, where it should be compiled.

I define a normal-looking host, with a check_command of
'host_always_up', defined thusly:

define command{
  command_name host_always_up
  command_line /bin/true
}

There are many different approaches to the same idea.  But definitely,
100%, every service needs a host object to associate with.

Hi,

One of our device's community string has a bang(!) on
it. How do I check snmp with it now. I check FAQ it
says only about checking webpages. I used same thing
even here ofcourse without luck.

So is there any way of getting it work. 

Gaurang.

I define a normal-looking host, with a check_command of
'host_always_up', defined thusly:

define command{
  command_name host_always_up
  command_line /bin/true
}

There are many different approaches to the same idea.  But definitely,
100%, every service needs a host object to associate with.

Hi - a question that some people out there may be able to help me with.  I
can't find this detail in the docco.
 
If you define a host, and give it two parent hosts, are these tested using
AND or OR?
 
In other words, if you define host C as having A and B as parents, and A
goes down while B stays up, will C still be checked (since at lest one
parent is alive) or will C be ignored (since at least one parent is dead)?
 
The reason I am asking, is that we have multiple routes between our switches
-- and if one route goes down, we dont want monitoring of the things behind
to stop.  However, if both go down, then we do.  Finally, the network
diagrams will show the correct linkages if defined with multiple parents.
 
Does anyone know the answer without my running some tests?
 
Steve

Does anyone here monitor bandwidth on a cisco router? If so, how did you

I probably should have elaborated on this some more..

My DocumentRoot is actually /export/home/nagios/share/

hence the alias which makes apache think that 
/export/home/nagios/share/nagios is actually located at 
/export/home/nagios/share/

Hope this makes sense.

Subject: OT: Re: Calculating Bandwidth with snmp on cisco router]
Message-ID: <20040519015445.GA11762@aurora.hoyos.org>

Instead of doing it via SNMP, cisco routers and the like usually have
a 'netflow' feature. There are many tools that can use this
information.

The best, IMHO, is flowscan
(http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/flowscan/). There is a good HOWTO on
setting this up located at:

http://netflowguide.com/?page=guide&guidepage=1

We use this to graph campus bandwidth, and I know there is also a
module called 'flowmonitor' that can do ISP style bandwidth watching.

If you don't want to go down that route, cricket (cricket.sf.net) can
do monitoring of bw, I think it also has features for notifications. 

While nagios could probably also do this, via some SNMP plugin,
doesn't really give you any quantative history of the data.

Subject: Parent looping
Message-ID: <8D2006DA-A938-11D8-8962-000A9582EEFA@staff.netspace.net.au>

Hi guys,

Interesting question (maybe not so :) )

I have a circular reduntant system set up

A -> B -> C -> A

Setting up parents for this reduntant system is a nightmare as nagios 
will not allow B -> C as well as C-> B because it thinks that is a 
loop. which it is but it the correct path for the network though.

Wondering if anybody else has run across this and if there was a simple 
(Some silly person overlooked it) solution out there for it.

Thanks in advance people

Scott

I still use MRTG.  Check 
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/ for more info.  MRTG 
takes snmp queries, logs them, and then builds graphs that you can 
access with a web browser.  Great for monitoring trends in network 
utilization, and tons of other stuff too.  I keep meaning to check out 
rrdtool, but for the time being I have no need to use anything else.  
You might want to have a read about it at 
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/.

I have found the problem,

In my cgi.cfg was the following line

physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share/
after deleting the last / all works fine now.

thankx for the answers

I probably should have elaborated on this some more..

My DocumentRoot is actually /export/home/nagios/share/

hence the alias which makes apache think that
/export/home/nagios/share/nagios is actually located at
/export/home/nagios/share/

Hope this makes sense.

Hi,

I am tring to configure the extended service info, but for some reason, 
nagios will only add the link and gif to the two first hosts in the 
"host_name" directive, all the others are ignored.

Any solution/reason/fix ?

Marco.

C will be checked if any of its parents are up. Each parent provides a 
route to the target host, and one is all nagios needs to check that it's 
alive.

Just make sure you get the routing done properly.

It's available from ftp.se.openwall.com/pub/Nagios/plugins
(anonymous ftp access).
I'll put some other stuff there too when I have the time.

Btw. I think the plugin-devel guys will want to include it as 
check_icmp, so you might want to call it that to save yourself from 
naming problems later on.

Hi swati,

seen your contents, as i had mentioned earlier that
even if the check procs points at a remote host it
hasnt got the rights to check procs unless you do
check_by_ssh or run a nrpe daemon on remote host and
make check_nrpe check the proc status.
the proc status is okay b'coz it checks the local
procs  and not the procs running on the remote host. A
simple example is try creating the proc check for
another host  and u will get the same result. I have
configured check_procs to monitor procs on a remote
host and it works fine. 
U need to install the nrpe daemon on the remote host
and also the plugins. you need to configure nrpe.cfg
and also start the daemon as an xinetd service. 


check_command       
check_nrpe!check_total_procs!150!200
}
this is from services.cfg.
define command{
        command_name    check_local_procs
        command_line    $USER1$/check_procs -w $ARG1$
-c $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$
        }
this is for checking local procs even if it points to
a emote host.
define command{
        command_name    check_nrpe
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
}
this entry is for checking procs and other services on
a remote host.

reply back if it works fine

Regards,
anil

Hi All,

I have just setup a mobile gateway on our nagios box (6310i with serial 
lead ;-).  Got all the SMS stuff working using gnokii which works a treat. 
 Recommend it to anyone.  However, when I try and get nagios to use a new 
notify routine it fails to send the text.

Debug so far.

Got gnokii to send SMS direct.
Added notify-by-sms to misccommands.cfg.
        I know the above works as I then cut the command from the .cfg and 
run it from the command line direct and it works.

Could this be a permissions thing associated with the nagios user???

When I force a host down and look in the syslog the notification does try 
and send via the correct command, it seems like just the command from 
within nagios is not working.

Hope someone can help.

Regards

Jason



This is the command line.

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:

Hi Jason,
 
I use also gnokii to send sms's.  I don't know your set-up, do you have a
Nokia connected to a serial port ?
Imy configuration i have a modem connected to the serial port and i
establish a call to a local provider smc center. So i am able to drop more
then 1 sms at the time in one connection. Only the call to the smc center is
charged. No charge for the sms's itself.
 
So i can not really simulate, but it seems for me that the $CONTACTPAGERS$
macro is wrong, it must be $CONTACTPAGER$.
 
kind regards,
 
ludo

Hi All!

We are in the processes of deciding whether we can replace HP OpenView
with Nagios. One question that has popped up is how much information we
can provide in messages sent to the server. I know that there is a
history of messages that changed the state of a particular service.
However, I cannot find details on how much information we can pass. For
example, with openview when an event occurs that sends a message to the
server we can automatically start an application the output of which is
then included in the message send to the server. In some cases, this can
be a couple of K. Is there a limit to how much we can send?

I am also curious as to what search capabilities there are for Nagios
messages. With OpenView, I can search on all sorts of criterial, like
node, date-time, message contents, and so on. Is something like this
possible with Nagios?

Regards,

jimmo

Thanks for your reply,

I do have a nokia connected to the serial port, but I am using the phone 
to send the texts.

Regarding the macro, I have also tried just using the mobile number for a 
test.  This still does not work.  Here is a syslog message when a host 
does down.

May 19 11:11:48 SNMPServer nagios: HOST NOTIFICATION: server;fiplog01;UP;
host-notify-by-sms;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 58.53 ms

As you can see the trigger is being used, just nothing more happening.

Jason

Hi  Jason,
 
I use  also gnokii to send sms's.  I don't know your set-up, do you have a 
Nokia  connected to a serial port ?
Imy  configuration i have a modem connected to the serial port and i 
establish a  call to a local provider smc center. So i am able to drop 
more then 1 sms at the  time in one connection. Only the call to the smc 
center is charged. No charge  for the sms's itself.
 
So i  can not really simulate, but it seems for me that the 
$CONTACTPAGERS$ macro is  wrong, it must be $CONTACTPAGER$.
 
kind  regards,
 
ludo

Hi All, 

I have just setup a  mobile gateway on our nagios box (6310i with serial 
lead ;-).  Got all  the SMS stuff working using gnokii which works a 
treat.  Recommend it to  anyone.  However, when I try and get nagios to 
use a new notify routine  it fails to send the text. 

Debug  so far. 

Got gnokii to send SMS  direct. 
Added notify-by-sms to  misccommands.cfg. 
         I know the above works as I then cut the command from the .cfg 
and run  it from the command line direct and it works. 

Could this be a permissions thing associated with the  nagios user??? 

When I force a host  down and look in the syslog the notification does try 
and send via the correct  command, it seems like just the command from 
within nagios is not  working. 

Hope someone can  help. 

Regards 

Jason 



This is the command line. 

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: 
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:

Jason,
 
I suppose that the manual test is ok ? Of course replace the macros with the
corresponding values.
 /usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:
$OUTPUT$\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms
$CONTACTPAGER$ 
 
In the checkcommands you have a "notify-by-sms", but in the syslog there is
"host-notify-by-sms", so you need to check the syntax of that config entry
and try manually to execute the command to see if it works.
 
kind regards,

Hiya,

Yeah sorry..  Should have explained in full.

I have a host-notify-by-sms and notify-by-sms in the .cfg.  One for 
service and one for host.  The snippet I sent was for a host down.

Really puzzling as the other commands in the .cfg for host-notify-by-email 
and notify-by-email work fine.  All I did was replace them.

test as root or the nagios user? You must be su'd to nagios to truly
test it in the way that nagios would send the notification.

When I su to nagios I get an error but the sms still sends....  The error 
is fopen : Pemission denied, sending logs to stderr.  thats all.

Had the initial problem of the nagios user not having access to the comm 
ports, but fixed that at least in the test.

I have not got a clue about the fopen thing and I don't have an fopen 
command on the box.

Run strace 2>&1 on it and pipe it through your favorite pager. That way 
you'll see all system calls and their return values.

If that doesn't work, try escaping the bang(!). For example you might 
try...

        command_line    $USER1$/check_ifstatus -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C e3\!m4Vac

So is there any way of getting it work.

Jason,
 
To avoid lots of replies, work step by step and try to document symptoms in
detail..
 
1. Do the command work manually as root ?
2. Do a su - nagios and try the command again. If it doesn't work. What is
the error message ?
3. Do you have read and write permissions on the serial port specified in
the gnokiirc file as the nagios user ?
4. correct is necessary.
5. Is there a getty process on it ? Disable it in /etc/inittab and do "init
q", check if process is not respawned anymore.
6. Check access rights again from serial device.
7. Try to set the suid flag as root, just to see if this fix the problem.
 
kind regards,
 
ludo

Hiya, 

Yeah sorry..  Should have explained in full. 

I have a host-notify-by-sms and notify-by-sms in the .cfg.  One for service
and one for host.  The snippet I sent was for a host down. 

Really puzzling as the other commands in the .cfg for  host-notify-by-email
and notify-by-email work fine.  All I did was replace them.

Jason, 
  
I  suppose that the manual test is ok ? Of course replace the macros with
the  corresponding values. 
 /usr/bin/printf "%b"  "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState:  $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:
$OUTPUT$\nDate/Time:  $DATETIME$\n" | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms
$CONTACTPAGER$ 
  
In the checkcommands you have a  "notify-by-sms", but in the syslog there is
"host-notify-by-sms", so you need to  check the syntax of that config entry
and try manually to execute the command to  see if it works.

Thanks for  your reply, 

I do have a nokia  connected to the serial port, but I am using the phone to
send the  texts. 

Regarding the macro, I have  also tried just using the mobile number for a
test.  This still does not  work.  Here is a syslog message when a host does
down.   

May 19 11:11:48 SNMPServer nagios: HOST  NOTIFICATION:
server;fiplog01;UP;host-notify-by-sms;PING OK - Packet  loss = 0%, RTA =
58.53 ms 

As you  can see the trigger is being used, just nothing more happening.

Hi   Jason, 
  
I use   also gnokii to send sms's.  I don't know your set-up, do you have a
Nokia  connected to a serial port ? 
Imy   configuration i have a modem connected to the serial port and i
establish a  call to a local provider smc center. So i am able to drop  more
then 1 sms at the  time in one connection. Only the call to the smc  center
is charged. No charge  for the sms's itself. 
  
So i  can not really simulate, but  it seems for me that the $CONTACTPAGERS$
macro is  wrong, it must be  $CONTACTPAGER$.

Hi All, 

I have just setup a  mobile gateway on our nagios box (6310i with  serial
lead ;-).  Got all  the SMS stuff working using gnokii which  works a treat.
Recommend it to  anyone.  However, when I try  and get nagios to use a new
notify routine  it fails to send the  text. 

Debug  so  far. 

Got gnokii to send SMS   direct. 
Added notify-by-sms  to  misccommands.cfg. 
          I know the above works as I then cut the command  from the .cfg
and run  it from the command line direct and it  works. 

Could this be a  permissions thing associated with the  nagios user???   

When I force a host  down and look in the  syslog the notification does try
and send via the correct  command, it  seems like just the command from
within nagios is not   working. 

Hope someone  can  help. 

Regards 

Jason 



This is  the command line. 

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:
$OUTPUT$\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms

Hi Folks,
 
I would like to know if I can use MRTG to get the information from MySql database in order to make graphs. I'm asking this because Nagios doesn't use MySql database in order to make graphs.

3. Do  you have read and write permissions on the serial port specified in

Yes

4.  correct is necessary.
5. Is  there a getty process on it ? Disable it in /etc/inittab and do

No

6.  Check access rights again from serial device.

Works from command line, just not from within nagios.
Extract from syslog

May 19 15:53:48 SNMPServer nagios: HOST NOTIFICATION: network;sw6-1;UP;

7. Try  to set the suid flag as root, just to see if this fix the problem.

No effect.

treat.  Recommend it to   anyone.  However, when I try  and get nagios to 
use a new  notify routine  it fails to send the  text. 

Debug  so  far. 

Got gnokii to send SMS    direct. 
Added  notify-by-sms  to  misccommands.cfg. 
          I know the  above works as I then cut the command  from the .cfg 
and run  it  from the command line direct and it  works. 

Could this be a  permissions thing associated  with the  nagios user???   

When I force a host  down and look in the  syslog the  notification does 
try and send via the correct  command, it  seems  like just the command 
from within nagios is not    working. 

Hope  someone  can  help. 

Regards 

Jason 



This is   the command line. 

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: 
  $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: 
  $OUTPUT$\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /usr/local/bin/gnokii  --sendsms

I also use MRTG, although my implementation uses RRDTool as the backend.
I then wrote a shell script  plugin for Nagios to check the RRD files
and notify on bandwidth spikes. I haven't contributed this yet, as I
have not had time to clean it up and make it more efficient. If
interested, let me know and I'll post it.

Message-ID: <3705031E1454D7119E740002B32AED3632BCF7@ntsv01.scheucher.at>

Hello

 

I have installed Nagios and it works great. But I need some other
information about the network.

 

We have a LAN with Cisco-Switches and some Cisco-Routers (WAN-and
Partnerconnections).

We have two connections to the Internet about to routers. I need a tool
where I can so how many traffice (who , what traffice and so one) goes about
these both connections. And I must save this information for history and I
also need a report system where I can generate customized reports about
these stored information.

 

 

Another issue is what MAC-Addresses are active in the LAN. (We have some
VLANs) I know arpwatch but how can I solve the problems with VLAN?s.

 

 

 

Have anyone an idea who can I do this?

 

 

Many Thanks

Manfred

You may want to try my own program:

http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/

This makes use of the recently available performance data produced by 
most new plugins.  Stores data in MySQL, current and historical.  Then 
draws graph of it.  Disk space, CPU temperature, http access times, CPU 
load etc...

I store about 1,000,000 record a week, which MySQL returns at about the 
rate of 1 seconds per days data.  But it's very new.  More of a kit at 
the moment.  Please let me know if you have any luck with it!

OK, I've attached it. Please keep in mind a few things:

1) There is already a check_rrd plugin in the plugins distro. I don't
remember if this is a standard plugin or part of the contrib directory,
but I believe it is the former. This one did not do exactly what I
wanted, which is why I wrote my own which ONLY checks bandwidth rrds.
However, the original may work just fine for you.

2) I haven't touched this code in a few months, so I'm a little foggy
about what issues still need to be worked out. However, I have been
using it in a production environment and it has been working well. When
I finished coding and put it into production, I still didn't feel that
it was ready to be contributed to the distro.

3) I'm sure that there are others out there who can script much better
than myself. I welcome any suggestions. If someone wants to clean it up
and contribute it, please feel free, otherwise I will most likely get
back to it sometime before year-end.

I am not sure if you are asking if Nagios is capable of this, but the 
answer is that it isn't.  I do this with http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html.  
There are other several commercial software available.

In trying to get Nagmin working, I noticed that there wasn't a function to
convert all my file based services and hosts to database format, which I
assume Nagmin wants before it starts.

I am trying to get Nagmin to the point where I can see how the RRD tool
integration works.

Is there a way to convert from file to database?

Thanks for the reply. But I had alread tried it before
posting it to this list (I could have mentioned it).
But I think I will go with Jon Lyons's idea.

Thanks Again for your time.

I don't have the database part, but I've got a parser written in Ruby 
which can parse Nagios config files.  I haven't published it yet, because 
I haven't found a clear use for it -- if I move to storing configs in LDAP 
I'd use this to do the initial conversion.

I'm willing to make it available if you're interested, but you'd have to 
write the routine to do the database portion.  It should be pretty easy, 
though.

If you really need this and do not think you can do the coding, and you 
ask very nicely, I could maybe do the coding.  I'm not using MySQL for any 
nagios stuff right now, so I don't really have a use for it, but at the 
very least it would probably actually be pretty darn trivial to convert 
from the ruby objects to SQL statements.

Message-ID: <35B982F250F8D411849600D0B7E033B602FEB34D@z00v004.skatteetaten.no>

Hei guys!

I give up... :-)

I am trying to install Nagios 1.2 and Nagmin 2.2.0 on Redhat 8.0.

I have edited nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg, and have added some hosts, groups etc.
to webmin. 

When I try to verify the config, I get the errormessage below.. My
HostGroup.cfg follow under the errormessage..

Thank you all VERY MUCH for any help/hints that can get me over this one..
:-)

Regards from Oslo, Norway,
Tor Arne

Does anyone here monitor bandwidth on a cisco router? If so, how did you
do it and how do you display your results?  I am looking to monitor when
our wan networks max out their bandwidth or approach maxing their
bandwidth.  Thanks for any info.

If line 9 in this snip of your config is the same line 9 as the your 
actual config, then it has a problem with # comment win-serv ).  Errors 
may follow after that too.  I've never seen any hostgroup config file 
like that.  Try something like this:

# 'some-hosts' host group definition
define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  some-hosts
        alias           Some Hosts Described
        contact_groups  admins
        members         username
        }

Installed nagios recently. I saw check_nt plugin in in the plugins folder with
the rest of the plugins. I've been reading through the docs and I'm a little
confused. In addition to check_nt do I need to install nsclient on the local
windows hosts?? or can check_nt use snmp???

I believe this is all done through the nsclient. It is a very easy to
install service.

Yes, you will need to install the client on the NT side. Its small and easy to do. We use it on over 15 of our windows boxes that we monitor.

You want snort and acid for that. Nagios is more of a problem locator 
than a statistics harvester.

That depends on the type of hardware you're using. Most modern switches 
can have one or more interfaces set to 'hub mode' (so that all traffic 
coming in to the switch is sent to that interface regardless of whether 
it's is target or not). Place your snort/acid server on one of those 
interfaces and make sure the traffic you want to monitor passes through 
that switch.

'check_nt --help' could have told you that
"The NSClient service should be running on the server to get any 
information (http://nsclient.ready2run.nl)"

I'm working on a sort of generic solution to monitor more things via 
SNMP in a more clever manner than check_snmp does (which is so versatile 
that it doesn't always give very meaningful output), but it's not even 
halfway done yet, so I don't intend to make it public in at least 
another month or so.

Neither have I, but it seems that's some sort of internal format that 
nagmin saves it in, considering the comments at the top of the file.

... except that 'members' ofcourse should be followed by a bunch of

Check out the template-based configuration syntax in the documentation 
att www.nagios.org, fire up your favorite editor and start hacking away 
at it.

I get some unknown errors on http://monitor.navigatoris.us/nagios/

Can someone tell me if I have configured nagios with a bad configuration?

Snort is for intrusion detection.  ACID is a web-based front-end for 
managing the alerts Snort generates.  You could call it a statistics 
harvester I suppose, but 'malicious' statistics harvesting would better 
describe its function.  If you are looking to detect intrusions, Snort 
is perfect.  If you want to harvest network statistics in the form of 
non-instrusive data flows, you are much better off with ntop.

If you are looking only to monitor active mac addresses (VLANs 
included), and you aren't concerned at all about the the actual traffic 
patterns (sniffing) etc, again Snort is probably not the best choice.  
If you simply want to know what mac addresses are active, arpwatch will 
do it.

Subject: MySQL and Nagios (Newbie Here)
Message-ID: <200405192031.13356.pauls@sellingsource.com>

List:
I have having a problem with MySQL and Nagios.  I have successfully installed 
Nagios with MySQL support:

 General Options:
 -------------------------
        Nagios executable:  nagios
        Nagios user/group:  nagios,nagios
       Command user/group:  nagios,nagios
            Embedded Perl:  yes, with caching
        Install ${prefix}:  /usr/nagios
                Lock file:  /var/nagios/nagios.lock
           Init directory:  /etc/init.d

 Web Interface Options:
 ------------------------
                 HTML URL:  http://localhost/nagios/
                  CGI URL:  http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/
 Traceroute (used by WAP):

 External Data Routines:
 ------------------------
              Status data:  Database (MySQL)
              Object data:  Template-based (text file)
             Comment data:  Database (MySQL)
            Downtime data:  Database (MySQL)
           Retention data:  Database (MySQL)
          Peformance data:  Default (external commands)
       Extended info data:  Database (MySQL)

I have mysql fully functional:
# mysql -h localhost -u nagios -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 43308 to server version: 4.0.18

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>

I have modified both the cgi.cfg and the resources.cfg file to contain the 
mysql data: (sample below is representative of all)
xcddb_host=localhost
xcddb_port=3306
xcddb_database=nagios
xcddb_username=nagios
xcddb_password=XXXXX

However, when I try to start nagios, I get the following set of errors:
Nagios 1.1 starting... (PID=11005)
Warning: Contact group 'dbadmins' is not used in any hostgroup/service 
definitions or host/hostgroup/service escalations!
Finished daemonizing... (New PID=11006)
Error: Could not connect to MySQL database '' on host '' using username '' and 
password ''.  Status data will not be saved!
Error: Could not connect to MySQL database '' on host '' using username '' and 
password ''.  Retention data will not be processed or saved!
Error: Could not re-connect to database server on host '' for status data.  
I'll keep trying every 60 seconds...
Error: Could not connect to MySQL database '' on host '' using username '' and 
password '' for comment data!
Error: Could not connect to MySQL database '' on host '' using username '' and 
password '' for downtime data!


It looks to me that the data in the config files is not being read by Nagios.  
I have scoured the archives for this problem and cannot find it.  (Found 
several examples of mysql and nagios not liking to compile on rh9, that was 
about it)  The documents are not clear on which file should be modified to 
handle the db connection information.  I have tried changing localhost to IP 
address and FQDN in config file to no avail.

I am desperate to get monitoring up and functional.  Any help you could 
provide would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank You.

Subject: building solaris package using mkpackage
Message-ID: <a06020416bcd1debc5908@[129.94.41.148]>

Hi

I see that in nagios 1.2 there is a script "mkpackage" which you can 
run with the option "solaris" to build a solaris package of nagios. 
Neat!

However this looks like it's basically all working, except that it 
complains about VERSION not being set.

Below is the tail end of the output of mkpackage:

pkgmk -o -r / -f Prototype -d /usr/local/sources/inst/nagios-1.2/pkg nagios
## Building pkgmap from package prototype file.
## Processing pkginfo file.
WARNING: missing directory entry for </etc>
WARNING: missing directory entry for </usr>
WARNING: missing directory entry for </usr/local>
pkgmk: ERROR: parameter <VERSION> cannot be null
## Packaging was not successful.
make: *** [pkg/nagios/pkgmap] Error 1


I've worked out that if you then edit the pkginfo file to give it a 
version, and then again run the pkgmk command given above, it'll 
happily build a package for you.

Regards

Jesse

Although _you_ may not see this, those who get the list in Digest form 
do.

Pretty ugly eh ?

In fact, it is so hard to read a Digest with a significant amount of
this, it gets deleted unread.

You can increase the likelihood of a reply to your question from me, and
perhaps from Nagios users by

1 Posting in text only.

Most mailers have I believe options that suppress sending HTML or
multipart.

There are even mailers that do _not_ send such things (other than as
attachments).

While I don't know of any for MS Windows examples (apart from Mozilla
mail), mutt and pine are two easy to live with Linux/FreeBSD mailers as
is Evolution (even endorsed by Perl Jam, 'Do the evolution Baby').

While Multipart is better than HTML only, it is still way too
much noise.

Base64 is not for polite company, unless you hang out with MUAs.

2 Posting only a small part of the letter you reply to.

Hopefully only the part that means something to a complete stranger such
as me.

3 Providing the evidence of what you have done to solve this problem.

Saying 'I read the archives or searched Nag users at Gmane' is good. If
you did so, even better.

4 Keep it short, less than 20 lines in the body (add notes at the 
bottom, refer to other letters, URLs etc) - this is way too long

OTOH, I may not be able to help you even if I could read your question.

I'll submerge now.

Subject: Delayed notifications
Message-ID: <00ae01c43e3b$dcf9fda0$6300a8c0@raptor>

Is it possible to delay some notifications by an arbitrary amount of
time?
I ask this because I don't want to send an expensive SMS message
for every short outages on my network. It could be better if this type

Can Nagios do that?

You can use the escalation feature of nagios.

Is it possible to delay some notifications by an arbitrary amount of time?
I ask this because I don't want to send an expensive SMS message for every
short outages on my network. It could be better if this type of notification
stay in a queue for a short (arbitrary?) amount of time and deleted if the
service/host resume its normal operations.
Can Nagios do that?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Subject: Scheduing Downtime
Message-ID: <JCENIGJIKPEDHLONLOILCEOKDGAA.m.borsani@it.net>

Hi folks!

I shouldn't check (and notify) events about 2 host all the night from monday
to friday from 00:00 to 01:00.

I'd like to use the "downtime" but I have not understood how can I
configured it, without using the extinfo CGI (because the external command
are forbidden at all).

I can't configure a special timeperiod due to our security policies.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Marco

Hi,

Yes, you can do this with max_check_attempts and retry_check_interval
for the services you want.

Hi!!
I tried to install Nagios plugins on the remote host. But since i didnt do 
nagios installation there, I got error while doing make install saying that 
user nagios does not exist.

1)is it not possible to install the plugins without installing nagios first,

or

2)is it not possible to install plugins by any other name? If Nagios user is 
necessary to exist, can i simply create a user named nagios and proceed?

The remote machine is a live gateway, and i'm a newbie, so i have to be 
extra catious.
Kindly help,
Thanks in advance,
Swati

Yes certainly, either create a nagios user by hand using useradd/adduser
or specify an alternate user while running configure.

Why are you running ancient software?  Netsaint is long gone.  (which is
why, notably, this is the *Nagios* mailing list).

Hey,
 
I have been trying to install nagois on slackware 9.1 for the last few days.
I have been able to get it to configure fine and I can do the make all with
no errors. But when I try to do the make install, it errors out with this
error:
 
nagois at Server:~/nagios-1.2$ make install
cd ./base && make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/nagois/nagios-1.2/base' /usr/bin/ginstall
-c -m 775 -o nagios -g nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/bin
/usr/bin/ginstall: invalid user `nagios'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nagois/nagios-1.2/base'
make: *** [install] Error 2
 
Anyways, I have the nagois user made and the nagois group made, but as you
can see it doesn't work. I've tried using the -with-nagois-user= option and
the -with-nagois-grp= option, with the nagois user and the nagois group and
even tried it with just another user. I've read the docs and I have found
nothing on this problem. I searched the net with no avail. Can somebody help
me fix this problem?? Thanks for the help in advance.

You can install the plugins without installing Nagios.

./configure --help yields:

Try running "make install" as root.

The installation is likely (almost certainly) trying to create directorys and 
create files in paths that the nagios user can't, nor should that user be 
able to.

The "--with-nagios-group/user" options tells configure what user needs 
permission to the files that are installed as well as what user the process 
should run as, but root still needs to do the installation of the files.

Message-ID: <30934.12.30.234.211.1085070938.squirrel@mail.cjp.us>

Nagios 1.1
Red Hat Linux 9.0

I'm having a problem with the check_nt plugin.   It only works for one or
two services and the rest return "ServiceName: Unknown".

This example doesn't work, I wonder if its because of the spaces in the
name...

root at reaction etc# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.0.1.60 -v
SERVICESTATE -l 'NetSaint NT Agent'
 NetSaint NT Agent: Unknown

This one works...

root at reaction etc# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.0.1.60 -v
SERVICESTATE -l 'Alerter'
 Alerter: Stopped

This two don't work for some reason...
root at reaction etc# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.0.1.60 -v
SERVICESTATE -l 'ClipBook'
 ClipBook: Unknown
root at reaction etc# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 192.0.1.60 -v
SERVICESTATE -l 'Telnet'
 Telnet: Unknown

Am I doing something wrong here?   Do I have to specify a password with
'-s password'?   I tried that but it doesn't work.  Is it possible to
specify a username to log in with as well?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: MySQL and Nagios (Newbie Here)

After further research, I have found the solution to my own problem.  The cfg 
files were not owned/grouped to nagios.  Thus, nagios could not write to the  
file and was appearently not accepting the config values for the database.  
Once I set nagios to own the files, worked like a charm.

Hope this helps someone else.

The name of service has to be specified as given in
Windows Registry. Its under 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

for example to monitor RPC Service you have to use
string "RpcSs" I think it case sensitive. I use it and
am successfully able to monitor so many services.

for your info here are few of the names that you are
looking for 

ClipBook: ClipSrv

Nagios Agent: NSClient

Telnet : TlntSvr.

the best way (i think) to find this is goto that key
and press F3 and find for your service type its name
this should help you.

Hello,

 

I am new to Nagios. I have read the installation docs thoroughly but perhaps
I am over looking something here. I have installed Nagios version 1.2 and
the plugins but I do not see a /usr/local/nagios/etc directory. The
installation left the /etc directory out.

 

How do I correct this? I tried a re-install twice now and no luck.

 

Thank you for your help.

Subject: False positives after the Parent host recovered
Message-ID: <000901c43e94$e7592ec0$361b80c6@linglaptop>

Hi,
 
I hope to get your input on a frustrating problem.  Right after a
"parent" host goes down and recovers, I receive a burst of notifications
indicating that downstream "children" have gone down & recovered, even
though that's not the case.  Although this behavior doesn't happen every
time a "parent" node goes down, my impression is that the odds are
greater than 30%. 
 
For example, suppose this my network:
 
 
Nagios--------Bridge------Parent Switch--------Child switch1
                              |
                              |
                          Child Switch2--------Child switch3
 
The series of events go like this:
 
1. Disconnect link between "Bridge" and "parent switch". 
2. Nagios reports and only reports "parent switch" down. (good) 
3. Re-connect link between "Bridge" and "parent switch". 
4. Nagios reports "parent switch" recovered. (very good)
5. Nagios reports "child switch1" and "child switch2" down right after
"parent switch" recovered. (what the?) 
6. Nagios reports "child switch1" and "child switch2" recovered shortly.
(????????)
 
 
Now, My nagios host configuration for the testing network looks like
this:
 
define host{
        name                                            generic-Bridge

So, any idea on this?

Take a look at the following:

http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=49&expand=false&showdesc=false

You need to run a make install-config and then modify the configuration
files to suit your local environment.

Hint, read the docs very carefully and start small.

Good luck.

At the end of the nagios compile you would have seen the following --

*** Compile finished ***

If the main program and CGIs compiled without any errors, you
can continue with installing Nagios as follows (type 'make'
without any arguments for a list of all possible options):

  make install
     - This installs the main program, CGIs, and HTML files

  make install-init
     - This installs the init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d

  make install-commandmode
     - This installs and configures permissions on the
       directory for holding the external command file

  make install-config
     - This installs *SAMPLE* config files in /usr/local/nagios/etc
       You'll have to modify these sample files before you can
       use Nagios.  Read the HTML documentation for more info
       on doing this.  Pay particular attention to the docs on
       object configuration files, as they determine what/how
       things get monitored!

Subject: False positives after the Parent host recovered
Message-ID: <2F29C1E275BF4F4E9DCAE48033A00B9D01030BFA@mail.ev3.net>

It was my finding (and I have been wrong before) that the children "Services" won't report being down but the children "Hosts" will. That is why we don't do any notifications on just Hosts at all. We are only using notifications for services on the various hosts. We make sure we have at least one Service per host to validate that the host itself is working. We use the same check_ping  that the Host Check does but we do it as a service so when a blocking host goes down we don't get any children notifications.
 
I could be wrong and if someone knows of a better way without entering every single host in the dependencies.cfg that would be great to hear about it.

Subject: [Nagios-users] False positives after the Parent host recovered


Hi,
 
I hope to get your input on a frustrating problem.  Right after a "parent" host goes down and recovers, I receive a burst of notifications indicating that downstream "children" have gone down & recovered, even though that's not the case.  Although this behavior doesn't happen every time a "parent" node goes down, my impression is that the odds are greater than 30%. 
 
For example, suppose this my network:
 
 
Nagios--------Bridge------Parent Switch--------Child switch1
                              |
                              |
                          Child Switch2--------Child switch3
 
The series of events go like this:
 
1. Disconnect link between "Bridge" and "parent switch". 
2. Nagios reports and only reports "parent switch" down. (good) 
3. Re-connect link between "Bridge" and "parent switch". 
4. Nagios reports "parent switch" recovered. (very good)
5. Nagios reports "child switch1" and "child switch2" down right after "parent switch" recovered. (what the?) 
6. Nagios reports "child switch1" and "child switch2" recovered shortly. (????????)
 
 
Now, My nagios host configuration for the testing network looks like this:
 
define host{
        name                                            generic-Bridge

So, any idea on this?
 
Thanks.

Subject: configuring nsca
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.60.0405201541090.9025@kirby.madstop.com>

Hi all,

I am interested in using nsca for transferring monitoring information from 
each of my hosts to a central host, e.g., procs and load information. 
This seems to be what nsca was designed for, but I haven't seen any 
examples using nsca except for distributed monitoring.  This is kind of 
distributed monitoring, but it's more just having each host do a portion 
and having the central host do a portion.  I like the idea of using nsca 
instead of nrpe because it makes each host a bit more autonomous, and I 
plan on autogenerating each host's configuration on the host itself.

Is everyone instead using nrpe for this?  I know one of the problems with 
trying to use nsca for this is that I have to configure the client to 
perform the checks and transfer the information, and then I have to 
configure the server to do the passive checks.

If I want to use nsca instead of nrpe on each host, then I assume that 
means I also need to run a nagios daemon on each host?  I know that I 
could also just run the checks manually, but I'd find myself recreating 
all of the scheduling and such that nagios already has built-in, so it 
would be a bit silly.

Pointers would be greatly appreciated,
Luke

Keep in mind that the central nagios daemon will need to know about all 
the things you are monitoring, or else it will ignore nsca messages 
regarding those services.

Yeah, I expect to use something like cfengine to pull updated 
configurations from each client to the central server.

I guess its notification_interval thats problem. It
should be something more than that.

Subject: Statusmap
Message-ID: <s0adf5a1.041@socrates.mitchamcouncil.sa.gov.au>

Apologies for the huge delay on this message but ...

I am still having the same issue. I have read EVERY post in the
archieve and I have also done the make devclean, make distclean, make
clean etc.

Also I added the directories that were needed for the libraries to
/etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig (this is what the configure script told
me to do).

I am not really fussed about the statusmap but I am about the trending
as I need to see if it gives me the info that I am after.

If there is anything else I can add that would help please let me
know.

Thanks,

Justin

If you've installed those libraries after you attempted the first 
configure() you may want to perform a "make distclean" and rerun the 
configure; the cached values might cause a problem.

configure is a shell script that builds a Makefile for make to compile 
and link Nagios. It does this by compiling programs like

tsitc> cat x.c
char gdImagePng();

int main() {
gdImagePng()
; return 0; }

(which you can find in configure by searching for gd) with the options 
from the same place

LIBS="-lgd $ICONV -lz -lm -lpng -ljpeg $LIBS"

assuming these libs are in the standard places for your system eg

tsitc> gcc -o x x.c -lz -lm -lpng -lgd 
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lpng

 .. so it needs to be told where libpng is found. Configure tries to 
suss this out using what you have told it and what it knows about 
common distros.

tsitc> gcc -o x x.c -lz -lm -lpng -lgd -L /usr/local/lib


so that it can supply the Makefile with values for the -I and -l -L
options;  these last - library names and paths (if in non-standard
paths) are what your compilation lacks (apart from the math lib -lm).

Here's what a good one looks like

-lm -o nagios

(this is for a glib chained hash patch  embedded Perl so there is more 
junk than you need).


You need to 

1 Find the path of the gd library. It is called libgd.*
  Find the path of the gh headers. It is called gd.h.

Common places are I believe /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib for the 
libraries; /usr/include and /usr/local/include for the headers.

2 Check if the missing symbol is in libgd 

pc09011> nm /usr/local/lib/libgd.a | grep gdImagePng
         U gdImagePngCtx
00000000 T gdImagePngToSink
0000082c T gdImagePng
000008b0 T gdImagePngCtx
00000864 T gdImagePngPtr

pc09011> nm /usr/local/lib/libgd.so | grep gdImagePng
00009c4c T gdImagePng
00009ce8 T gdImagePngCtx
00009c90 T gdImagePngPtr
00009138 T gdImagePngToSink
pc09011> 

3 If yes ? ==> 4 : your library is toast. Ask again, quoting the nm 
result

4 make clean (ensure that config.cache is gone)

5 ./configure --other-nag-switches --with-gd-lib=PATH-containing-lib-gd 
--with-gd-inc=PATH-containing-gd.h

Same message about not finding libgd ? Ask again quoting result :  ==> 6

6 make all

Finally you can always do what I have shown you here: try and build the 
test program yourself. If you can't build it by hand, configure won't be 
clever enough.

Yours sincerely.

Subject: how to use check_by_ssh
Message-ID: <Sea1-F132ehiv0Cm1cf0001f105@hotmail.com>

Hi!
I have installed the plugins at the remote host and i'm trying to monitor a 
process by check_by_ssh..but i;m not really clear with how to use 
check_by_ssh properly.

here's a copy of what i've written :
in checkcommands:

command_name   check_by_ssh
command_line      /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H 10.0.0.7 -f 
-C='check_procs'

and i defined check_by_ssh in services.cfg as well.

I'm not able to understand that how would check_by_ssh run check_procs on 
10.0.0.7 for a particular process id?? How do i specify that??

ALso, i'm getting this warning right now, "host key verification failed".
Kindly help,
Thanks,
Swati

Subject: weird problem with check_ifstatus  (and check_ifoperstatus)
Message-ID: <1085135645.19507.17.camel@munter>

Hi,

I've been having problems making check_ifstatus go. It's been
complaining:

Undefined subroutine &utils::is_hostname called at ./check_ifstatus line
383.

when I run it from cli.

I just hacked out the offending if statement around line 383 (and it now
works), but I'm fairly sure this is not advisable.

Has anyone else seen this before?

fyi:
check_ifstatus v1.8
fresh net::snmp from cpan.

Hiya,

Sticky bit has solved the problem.

I also retyped the whole command, from within the console.  I have found 
the putty, using ssh is not that good at leaving files just how you think 
they are.  Found out that there was a space at the end of the command line 
within the .cfg file.  It must also be passed and makes gnokii a bit 
confused.  Worth noting I suppose.

Thank you for all your help over the past couple of days.

Really glad that this is all sorted, it was starting to get to me...

Kind regards

Jason

Jason,
 
Sorry  for my late response, but yesterday it was an official holliday in 
belgium, so i  didn't follow-up.
 
1. If  you su - nagios and send an sms manually, you get an additional 
error message (  fopen ... ) but the sms is send ?
2. If  you do "chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/gnokii" and owner is root "chown 
root  /usr/local/bin/gnokii", then retry as nagios user manually, you 
should have the  same output as root user. I mean without the additional 
error message. Correct  ?
3. It  is possible that the logoutput, info aswell the error msg are 
giving  problems when it is started from nagios, try to redirect the 
output to a  file.
     /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Service:   $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: 
$HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:   $SERVICESTATE$\nInfo: 
$OUTPUT$\nDate: 
$DATETIME$" |  /usr/local/bin/gnokii  --sendsms 07901854342 > 
/tmp/gnokii.log 2>&1 
Use >> /tmp/gnokii.log 2>&1 to append.
Try it manually as nagios  user, then adapt the command in the nagios 
config file and restart  nagios.
4. See if the file is writable by the nagios  user.
5.  Check messages in file, if this works, use /dev/null instead of 
/tmp/gnokii.log 
6.  Screw the rights from the gnokii executable back to normal ( remove 
suid flag )  and retry test.

2. Do  you  have specified somewere a logfile, f.e. for the smsd and are 
the rights   correct ? 

logging and debugging is off.  !? 

3.  Debug settings in gnokiirc (  /etc/gnokiirc ) 

See above.

3. Do  you  have read and write  permissions on the serial port specified

Yes   

4.   correct is necessary. 
5.   Is  there a getty process on it ? Disable it in /etc/inittab and do 
"init  q", check  if process is not respawned anymore. 

No 

6.  Check access rights again from   serial device. 

Works  from command line, just not  from within nagios. 
Extract from syslog

host-notify-by-sms;PING OK -  Packet loss = 0%, RTA =  34.49 ms 

7. Try  to set the suid flag as  root,  just to see if this fix the 
 problem. 

No effect.

Hiya, 

Yeah sorry..    Should have explained in full. 

I have a host-notify-by-sms and   notify-by-sms in the .cfg.  One  for 
service and one for host.    The snippet I sent was for a host  down.    

Really puzzling as the other  commands  in the  .cfg for 
 host-notify-by-email and notify-by-email work   fine.   All I did was 
replace them.

Jason, 
    
I   suppose that the manual test is ok ? Of   course replace the macros 
with  the  corresponding   values. 
 /usr/bin/printf   "%b"  "**Nagios**\nType:  $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: 
   $HOSTNAME$\nState:   $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:  $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: 
  $OUTPUT$\nDate/Time:  $DATETIME$\n" |   /usr/local/bin/gnokii  --sendsms 
 $CONTACTPAGER$ 
  
In the checkcommands  you have a   "notify-by-sms", but in the  syslog 
there is  "host-notify-by-sms",  so you need to  check the syntax of  that 
config entry and try  manually to execute the command to   see if it 
 works.

Thanks for  your reply,     

I do have a nokia   connected to the serial   port, but I am using the 
phone to  send the  texts.   

Regarding the macro, I have   also tried just  using the  mobile number 
for a test.  This  still does not  work.    Here is a syslog message when 
a host  does down.    

May 19  11:11:48  SNMPServer nagios: HOST   NOTIFICATION: 
 server;fiplog01;UP;host-notify-by-sms;PING OK -  Packet   loss  = 0%, RTA 
= 58.53 ms   

As  you  can see the trigger is being  used,  just nothing more 
 happening.

Hi    Jason, 
    
I use   also gnokii to   send sms's.  I  don't know your set-up, do you 
have a   Nokia   connected to a serial  port ? 
Imy    configuration i have a  modem connected to  the serial port and  i 
 establish a   call to a local provider  smc center. So i am able to  drop 
  more then 1 sms at the  time  in one connection. Only the call   to the 
smc  center is charged. No  charge  for the sms's   itself. 
  
So i  can not really simulate, but   it  seems for me that the 
 $CONTACTPAGERS$ macro is  wrong, it   must be   $CONTACTPAGER$. 
    
kind     regards,

Hi All,    

I  have just setup a  mobile gateway on  our  nagios box (6310i  with 
 serial lead ;-).  Got all   the SMS  stuff  working using gnokii which 
 works a treat.   Recommend it to    anyone.  However, when I try  and 
 get nagios to  use a new  notify routine  it fails to send the    text.   


Debug    so  far.   

Got  gnokii to send SMS    direct.   
Added  notify-by-sms  to    misccommands.cfg.   
          I know the  above works as   I then cut the command  from the 
.cfg and run  it  from  the  command line direct and it  works.      

Could this be a  permissions thing  associated   with the  nagios user??? 
    

When I force a host  down and  look in the   syslog the  notification does 
try and send via  the correct   command, it  seems  like just the command 
from within nagios  is not    working. 

Hope  someone  can   help.   

Regards 

Jason 



This is     the command line. 

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: 
    $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:   $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:

Hi all,

In an attempt to SMS to a number of recipients using a serial connected 
mobile phone and gnokii I have run into a slight snag.

The only way you can get gnokii to send to multiple destinations is to set 
up a script like this

for x in 040404040 1414141 
do 
echo 'Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: 
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\nDate: $DATETIME$' | 
/usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms $x 
sleep 60 (if you need this?) 
done 

And run this script from the misccommands.cfg file when the trigger is 
activated.  Of course it would be nice to have the macro $xxx$ values sent 
as well but this does not happen in the above example. 

Does anyone have any idea if it is possibe to parse variables from nagios 
to an external shell script.

Kind reards

Jason

Jason,
 
As i understood, gnokii is working and nagios can send sms's, but in case
more sms's need to be send to several people, the first gnokii process is
occupying the serial com port and additional sms's or lost.
 
Check next site:
Gnokii-smstools provides a way to spool short messages (SMS) using a Nokia
cellphone. It takes advantage of both the Nokia phone driver from gnokii and
the queueing code from SMS-Tools.

Here's an example --

bash-2.05a$ ./check_by_ssh -H dc1 -C
'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 12: -c :20 -C httpd'
WARNING - 10 processes running with command name httpd

It's probably because you have an incorrect host key in
~nagios/ssh/known_hosts. Have you tried just ssh'ing over to 10.0.0.7
from your nagios machine as the nagios user? You'll probably get more
descriptive output.

Ofcourse it is. Just pass the macros as arguments. For the 
above-statement you'd want something like this;

# in misccommands.cfg:

command_line  /path/to/thescript.sh $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTADDRESS$ \
	"$SERVICEDESC$" $SERVICESTATE$ "$OUTPUT$" "$DATETIME$"

Hi Andreas

Now why didn't I think of that...  What a star you are.

Still a bit new to all this linux stuff, although a friend of mine keeps 
telling me that I have graduated beyond novice just on the basis that 
nagios is working at all ;-)

Thank you, everyone for all your help.

Kind regards

Jason

Hello Nagios community,

 

I am stumbling through my first Nagios installation. I am making progress
but I am hitting a few road blocks. Please excuse my ignorance as I am new
to Nagios and I appreciate all the help I can get with it.

 

I am running the sanity check after installing Nagios. I seem to be stuck on
my hostgroups.cfg file. I am getting an error message that says "could not
expand member hosts specifed in hostgroup ( config file yada yada yada line
21)

 

My hostgroup.cfg file looks like this....

 

define hostgroup{

hostgroup_name            nt-servers

alias                             NT Servers

contact_groups              nt-admins

members                       WUSNE227,WUSNE187, etc,etc

}

 

I have edited my /etc/hosts file with all of the server names and IP address
and I can ping them all by name.

 

What am I missing?

 

Thank you for the help!

 

Regards,

 

Ed St.John

Have you defined the host in Nagios (in hosts.cfg for example)?

Probably identical spelling. Check it over a couple of times (or better 
still, have a script check it for you, so you KNOW it's not because of 
spelling issues).
Try this, for instance (without any linebreaks);

for host in `sed 's/^ *//' hostgroups.cfg | grep ^members | gawk '{ 
print $2 }' | sed 's/,/ /g'` ; do grep hostname hosts.cfg | gawk '{ 
print $2 }' | grep -q $host || echo "$host not mentioned in hosts.cfg" ; 
done

Two things worth remembering;
All variables are case sensitive.
Spaces are NOT allowed in commaseparated lists.

Subject: Getting Performance Data into the perfdata files
Message-ID: <41FD7929498A174DAB86C45F28E0EC0D6E90D9@golden-m.mactec.com>

I've sent this question to the PerfParse users list, but I don't think
that there are too many people on the list yet. Also, while I want to
use PerfParse to display my performance data, this is really a Nagios
question, as I have not yet reached the PerfParse portion of the setup.

I've recompiled Nagios 1.2 with performance data (file-based) enabled,
and I then installed the plugins from yesterday's CVS head (which broke
check_nagios, had to copy over my old one). I added the necessary
directives to the main configuration file, as described in the Nagios
Performance Data docs. For some reason, I'm still not getting anything
in the perfdata logs.
 
Owner/Group and permissions are correct on the perfdata logs. At least I
think that they are, they are the same as all of the other logs in
nagios/var.
 
I thought that it could be that I'm just not using any of the plugins
that utilize performance data. But since check_load is shown being
graphed on the PerfParse webpage, I enabled it, ran it from the command
line to verify that it returned perfdata, and then added it to Nagios.
Still nothing.
 
Any ideas?

If you manually enter a check command, does it display the performance 
data.  Eg:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 5%

If the performance data is there, you will get something like:

DISK OK - free space: / 19458 MB (53%); /boot 35 MB (76%) | 
/=19457MB;33312;35163;0;37014 /boot=34MB;40;42;0;45

Clearly showing the performance data beyond the '|'.

Find one which you know works and ensure Nagios is checking it.  Note:- 
The check_load I used for that web site came from 
nagios-plugins-HEAD-200403290547.tar.gz, which image are you using?


My own nagios.cfg config file shows:

process_performance_data=1
xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/hostperf.log
xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$
xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

Do you have something similar?

Finally, the log file.  Please look at the log file (tail -f 
var/nagios.log) and ensure there are no errors.

Ben.

I used check_load from nagios-plugins-HEAD-200405201647.tar.gz. It works
fine from the command line, performance data after the pipe and all.

[garry at netmon1 libexec]$ ./check_load -w 3,3,3 -c 5,5,5
OK - load average: 0.08, 0.83,
1.06|load1=0.080000;3.000000;5.000000;0.000000
load5=0.830000;3.000000;5.000000;0.000000
load15=1.060000;3.000000;5.000000;0.000000

I have *exactly* the same entries in nagios.cfg.

I tail-followed the nagios.log, and forced a check_load on the box. The
only thing that showed up in the log was the forced check, no errors.
The forced check returned an OK state to Nagios, but still nothing in
the perfdata files.

As the tree said to the lumberjack, I'm stumped.

Subject: Host State Breakdowns
Message-ID: <40AE2BBF.3000801@leaplab.com>

I was wondering, why sometimes do the hosts listed in the host state 
breakdowns  have 100% undetermined time, sometimes 50/50 undetermined or 
otherwise, and sometimes 98%uptime, 1% downtime, and 1%  unknown?  These 
hosts are set up exactly the same in the config files but i don't 
understand why i'm seeing such a high amount of undetermined  host 
states in the breakdown.  I'm not seeing any other errors elsewhere in 
nagios  besides the normal host up/down statuses.

Kind of a stupid question, but why is there Host and Service
notification timeperiods on a Contact when the actual service determines
when notifications go out.

So if I have my Contact info setup with 24x7 on both, and I setup the
service to notify only during normal working hours, I shouldn't be
notified outside normal work hours, right?

When you configure Nagios, do you get a report like:

  External Data Routines:
  ------------------------
           Peformance data:  File

In the Nagios install directory, in ./common, there is a file config.h. 
  Can you confirm it contain the line:

#define USE_XPDFILE 1

Can you confirm that you are not yet using 'perfparse'?  --  This will 
truncate the log file to size zero.

Permissions again.  Always worth checking.  My files look like:

-rw-rw-r--    1 nagios   nagios      36742 May 21 17:29 hostperf.log
-rw-rw-r--    1 nagios   nagios     106238 May 21 17:29 serviceperf.log

Apart from that, I'll have to think on it...

Yes, I remember seeing this in the report when I configured the Nagios
binary, and config.status shows that I requested that it be compiled
that way:
   exec ${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} ./configure  --disable-statuswrl
--enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --with-file-perfdata --no-
create --no-recursion ;;

Also, in common/config.h, I do indeed have the line that you mentioned
above. (Darn, I was hoping that maybe it didn't compile correctly).

That's good to know, as I would probably think that I was seeing the
same error again if I manage to get past it and install PerfParse. But
no, I've not yet gotten that far, haven't even compiled it yet, or setup
the mysql db.

-rw-rw-r--    1 nagios   nagios          0 May 20 16:02 serviceperf.log

Permissions look the same, although the files have not been touched

OK, I'll keep poking and prodding. Anyone know how I would go about
seeing if check_load is actually populating the $PERFDATA$ macro when
run from Nagios? I've already shown it to work from the command line. I
recompiled with DEBUG5 enabled, and then watched the log and forced a
check again:

[1085160061] EXTERNAL COMMAND:
SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;netmon1;LOAD;1085160058
[1085160070] SERVICE ALERT: netmon1;LOAD;OK;HARD;1;OK - load average:
2.83, 1.71, 1.38

I don't see Performance Data in the log. Should I see it there, or is
this proof that $PERFDATA$ is empty?

Correct. However, if you set service notification to 24X7, and your
contact notification to normal working hours, you will see the same
thing.
If you add a second contact to this service, and that person's contact
notification is set to 'off-hours', then YOU will be notified while at
work, and THEY will be notified the rest of the time.

Kind of a stupid question, but why is there Host and Service
notification timeperiods on a Contact when the actual service determines
when notifications go out.

So if I have my Contact info setup with 24x7 on both, and I setup the
service to notify only during normal working hours, I shouldn't be
notified outside normal work hours, right?

Nagios can send out notifications for a service being
up/warning/critical/unknown, and it can also send notifications for a
host being up/down/unknown.  These two types of notifications are
handled differently by nagios.  They have their own notification
commands, and own notification time periods.

So, if a service is failing, you should only be notified during working
hours.  If a host goes down, you should be notified any time, day or
night.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Contact Information



Kind of a stupid question, but why is there Host and Service
notification timeperiods on a Contact when the actual service determines
when notifications go out.

So if I have my Contact info setup with 24x7 on both, and I setup the
service to notify only during normal working hours, I shouldn't be
notified outside normal work hours, right?

Correct. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html fully
details the notification logic and what filters must be passed at each
step before a notification is sent.

Subject: nrpe for AIX 5.2
Message-ID: <D6206E48B6B8A24BBFAC116AC816289602CB55@hcidalex01.int.huntoil.com>

I was wondering if anybody has the pre-compiled/binary for nrpe 1.8 or nrpe 2.0 for AIX 5.2. I downloaded the src for nrpe 2.0 but found that our AIX box does not have gcc and looks like we do not have the disk space to complete the installation of gcc.

Any help in getting either nrpe 1.8 or 2.0 for AIX 5.2 would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Message-ID: <6DC91C2935EED54B9AB1F722B80993E704C20B@uk-exc-0140.profero.ad>

Hi All,
 
I have created a number of 'fake' hosts in order for presentation of the status map  - my question, is it possible to remove certain hosts from the table views (Service Detail, Host Detail, etc). It's not detrimental to monitoring, but it just doesn't look nice!
 
I'd really like to avoid having to hack the source and adding a 'active' or something flag.
 
Any help (or advice about a better way to make status map look pretty) would be great
 
Cheers,
 
Richard.

Garry,

The only other thing I can thing of is staining the output from 
check_load by recompiling with some noticable debug.  Then see if it 
comes up in logs or anything.  But I see you have tried this.  So it's 
definitelly running your version with perf data, and this data is 
definitelly being lost.

The only difference I can see is the flags you use to compile nagios. 
You could try a vanilla build with only the --with-file-perfdata.  Bit 
radical, but all I can thing of.

???

Hello,

Like a week ago I asked for help about the check_load script, and no-one 
wasn't able to help me...

I would like to know if that command uses SNMP (wich I don't have) or 
something is wrong... Where is the configuration I should modify, etc...

Please try to help me this time.

# 'check_local_load' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_local_load
        command_line    $USER1$/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
        }

Thank You,
Francisco

SourceForge recently changed things.  The new URL is just:

I'll update the CVS page on the site to reflect this.

The check_load you are referring to does not use snmp.  It is a simple 
script that grabs output from 'uptime' or similar.  You need to be a tad 
more specific of what exactly your problem is (beyond not knowing 
whether or not the plugin uses snmp).

I am new to the list so I'm sorry if this has been covered but Nagios
complains that GD isn't installed on OS X even though it is installed and
tested just like in the FAQ about Red Hat.

http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=194

But where do I get libpng-devel for bsd?  I only find RPM's.  Thanks.

If you look around then you shall find the libpng files that you need
for nagios, os x 10.2 was my testing box for configuring nagios before
deploying it on a BSD box.

Two seconds of searching found the homepage for libpng:

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

Read the instructions carefully in order to install this and GD. I don't
know why you are following a redhat guide when installing on mac os x,
take time out to read the instructions for installing it on a mac.

Mannuals on these things are your friend. I had a bit of trouble until I
read the guides for all the things I needed to install, but once I
commited myself to reading carefully I found that it compiled without
any problems.

Subject: CGI's Won't Work - Output is garbage
Message-ID: <1085336401.8195.27.camel@piglet>

Hello!

I recently installed Nagios 1.2 on a system running RedHat Linux 9.  The
installation went fine, but I can't seem to get the CGI's to work.  When
I try to run them through the web interface all I get for output is
gibberish.  When I run them on the command line and monitor them with
strace, I get errors like this:

open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/usr/local/nagios/share/ssi/avail-footer.ssi", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/nagios/share/ssi/common-footer.ssi", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)


Did I screw up in installing the cgi's somehow?  The
/usr/local/nagios/share/ssi directory is present on my system, but it's
empty.  There are no .ssi files anywhere at all.  I'm afraid I don't
know what the /etc/ld.so.preload file it's looking for is.


Any advice on how to deal with this problem would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Dixie Peterson

It's more likely that your web server just doesn't know what do to with
cgi files and is simply displaying them instead of executing them...
Make sure your web server is properly configured to execute cgi files.
If you're using apache, you probably need to make sure you have the
following --

LoadModule cgi_module         modules/mod_cgi.so
AddModule mod_cgi.c
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

<Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin>
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
        Satisfy All
</Directory>

You'll need to restart apache if you modify httpd.conf of course.

Subject: High check latency with nagios
Message-ID: <OF44E72545.F695E378-ONC1256E9E.00254A34-C1256E9E.00265ABC@acerta.be>

Hi All,

We are setting up nagios to monitor our infrastructure, and we ran into a 
few problems.  Most of them I"ve been able to solve,  thanks to reading 
the mailinglist.  But the latest problem is a persistent one.
I'm running nagios on Suse Enterprise server 9, with kernel 2.6.5 on a 
dual 2.4 ghz intel Xeon server with hyperthreading enabled, the system has 
2GB ram.   We recompiled the kernel with SMP-support, en it detects 4 
cpu's..   In nagios we defined 405 servers, and we do 6855 active checks, 
and 17 passive checks.   And we have an extremely bad performance. 
At the tactical overview I see the following information:  check latency: 
4468.402 sec.    It takes nagios about 1,5 hour to see a status change. 
Needless to say that this is not acceptable.
Anyway I am looking for some hints, does anybode have an idea on what 
causes this behavior?

Thanks in advance!!
Marino

If one or more hosts are down, this is more than likely to happpen, as 
Nagios attempts to establish 'down-ness' of hosts before anything else, 
and puts off all other checks while hosts go down (this is to determine 
if service check failures are due to network outages or not). Result; If 
network is 'flimsy' from time to time, Nagios runs into trouble.

I've been meaning to try and work around this, but that requires a 
slight redesign of checking logic, and I'm not about to undertake that 
kind of project without knowing it'll be good enough to get into the 
main source.

If it helps, I have done searches to see what is on my system that is 
related to those files, so that you can see if there is any differences 
or not. I have left out all instances where i have related files that I 
don't think are relevant:

/usr/local/include/libpng
/usr/local/include/libpng12
/usr/local/include/libpng12/png.h
/usr/local/include/libpng12/pngconf.h
/usr/local/lib/libpng.a
/usr/local/lib/libpng12.0.1.2.5.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libpng12.a


/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.62.0.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a
/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.la

gd is a bit wierd because i seach my harddisk but i don't know what 
files are relevant because digging up all files with gd in them is a 
little bit long and i don't know what ones are right.

did you compile and install them yourself or did you get them in some 
sort of package format ?

Sounds like a job for Windows built-in port filtering. Its bad and 
simple, but it should work.

Your check commands aren't written correctly, or you haven't passed the 
correct arguments to the check commands.

libexec/check_ping:


-H, --hostname=HOST
   host to ping
-w, --warning=THRESHOLD
   warning threshold pair
-c, --critical=THRESHOLD
   critical threshold pair
-p, --packets=INTEGER
   number of ICMP ECHO packets to send (Default: 5)
-t, --timeout=INTEGER
   optional specified timeout in second (Default: 10)
-L, --link
   show HTML in the plugin output (obsoleted by urlize)
THRESHOLD is <rta>,<pl>% where <rta> is the round trip average travel
time (ms) which triggers a WARNING or CRITICAL state, and <pl> is the
percentage of packet loss to trigger an alarm state.

Seems to be the same thing for the server load plugin.

Subject: freshness check on passive service fails
Message-ID: <200405241248.12961.Michael.Huettig@Medien-Systempartner.de>

Hi all,
i?m using nagios 1.2 with nsca/send-nsca 2.4 to submit passive check-results 
from some services. Works fine for more than 6 months but last week it starts 
up making me crazy.

nagios doesn?t accept any value on freshness-threshold, it starts every 5 minutes the script, which notifies me.

here is my service-config:

-- # Service definition
define service{
	host_name			mh2
	service_description		test-service-passiv
	use					process-template
	active_checks_enabled	0
	passive_checks_enabled	1
	check_freshness		1
	freshness_threshold		4000
	contact_groups			test-grp
	is_volatile				1
	check_command		check_passiv
	}

define service{
	use					generic-service		; Name of service template to use
	name				process-template
	is_volatile				0
	check_period			24x7
	max_check_attempts		3
	normal_check_interval	5
	retry_check_interval		1
	notification_interval		10
	notification_period		Produktiv-Systeme
	notification_options		w,u,c,r
	register				0	
	}

on host mh2 run?s an cron-script which submits the passive check-result via 
send-nsca every hour. So i receive every hour that test-service-passive is o.k. but after 5 Minutes nagios wants to check freshness of this service.

Any suggestions, ideas, why nagios doesn?t accept the check-freshness-period 
of 4000 seconds?

Regards,

Michael

Subject: Escalations - getting a different message/notify command for each different escalation level.
Message-ID: <20040524225214.A454@IPAustralia.Gov.AU>

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Is there any way of having escalated notifications send a different
alert/notice message for each different escalation level ?

A search of the Nag FAQs shows nothing about escalation and the closest
Gmanes search facility gets is

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/12902/match=escalation

(3 escalation levels with 3 different contact groups).

The application is that at each escalation level

. the original contact group is made aware by a different message that
escalation has occurred

. each escalation level can have a notification reflecting that level
(by for example indicating how long the host or service has been down or
critical).

The problem seems to be that while each escalation level can have its
own host group it seems not to be able to have its own 'notify
commands'. 

A possible future solution would be to allow escalation templates to
specify the host_notify_command and service_notify_command attributes.

Another rather awkward solution is to have an event correlator examine
the Nag logs and use the correlators rules and actions to do the
escalation.

Another cumbersome solution is to define multiple contacts for each
entity to be notified and collect these with the different notify
commands in the 3 contact groups ...

Does anyone else see the need for such a facility or have a config or
pointers they would like to share ?

Thank you.

Yours sincerely.

Yes. Nagios sports the nifty macro $NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ (or something) 
which can be passed to notification-commands. Just write your own and 
evaluate the $NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ macro before 'designing' the message.

If this macro doesn't work as I expect (it might not, after all), then 
why not just add another macro ($ESCALATIONLEVEL$ or something).

I have a script that could easily be hacked for this lying around 
somewhere, but I'm not sure where I've put it. I'll let you know if I 
find it.

Seems like a bit overkill to me, since it would require more of both 
nagios and the end user. I'll dig in on finding that notification-script 
and make it public (maybe even default?) one way or another.

The notification command I wrote gets name of acknowledging user this 
way. Depending on the depth of mining you need to do, it's not really 
all that hard.

I don't know why you'd use the Service Detail or Host Detail links. I'd
create hostgroups that contain only the real hosts, or subsets of the
real hosts, and use the "grouplist" add-on to only view hosts/services
in that group. If need be, the full service/host detail pages are still
there.

Message-ID: <E6A0E6DC7BF4D411B3180008C786FAAC62EA93FB@corpmail.usg.com>

I've got a little issue -- I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I'm doing
something wrong. I'm running nagios 1.2 and the comments in the config file
indicate (as I see) that the external command file goes away after it's
contents are executed. The cmd.cgi seems to expect it to exist and fails to
find it and also doesn't bother to create it.

Everything I've found in the FAQs seems to indicate that my permissions are
set right -- i've tried having the directory owned by both nagios and nobody
- same results. Any thoughts?

Is there any more information that would help solve this?

Sorry but that sounds like an incredibly large number of checks and hosts
to be running on a single machine.  There's no wonder you're having such
problems.  Unfortunatly this may be purley design and the reason that
clustering is a possiblility now.  Perhaps using multiple boxes (even slow
ones) spread out with a central server doing data collection would be a
better alternative.  Also, just because you have 2 processors and smp
enabled in the kernel doesn't mean nagios was written with proper threading
in mind (which defeats the purpose of dual processors).

Hi All,

We are setting up nagios to monitor our infrastructure, and we ran into a
few problems.  Most of them I"ve been able to solve,  thanks to reading the
mailinglist.  But the latest problem is a persistent one.
I'm running nagios on Suse Enterprise server 9, with kernel 2.6.5 on a dual
2.4 ghz intel Xeon server with hyperthreading enabled, the system has 2GB
ram.   We recompiled the kernel with SMP-support, en it detects 4 cpu's..
In nagios we defined 405 servers, and we do 6855 active checks, and 17
passive checks.   And we have an extremely bad performance.
At the tactical overview I see the following information:  check latency:
4468.402 sec.    It takes nagios about 1,5 hour to see a status change.
Needless to say that this is not acceptable.
Anyway I am looking for some hints, does anybode have an idea on what
causes this behavior?

Thanks in advance!!
Marino

Hi,

try to stop your nagios and look for just running nagios processes. I
have had this problem a long time ago with a rotating nagios process
that just spawned himself and crashes in the next moment.

Which is correct. One timetick represents 1/100 of a second, and 
563369316 1/100's of a second makes for 65 days, 4 hours, 54 minutes and

53.16 seconds (the above example. There was a time delay of 59.15 
seconds delay between your running of snmpget and check_snmp).

check_snmp doesn't do that translation for you, so you have to specify 
it in timeticks (why you would want thresholds on uptime in the first 
place eludes me, but who am I to say?)

Anyways... The math goes something like this;
threshold=(((((days*24*60)+hours)*60+minutes)*60+seconds)*100)+centiseco
nds
Mind the math precedense.

One day is 86400 seconds. You do the math on the thresholds you want, 
and don't forget to multiply by 100.

Not really. Nagios fork()'s. The child processes in turn execute the 
various plugins, which means that for every check to be run, there is 
actually always at least 3 threads to execute in parallell (main, child 
and plugin). Nagios doesn't have to bother with all this (although it 
could if one were to rewrite large parts of it in assembly), but rather 
lets the kernel handle it. The kernel is very good at it, so the loss is 
minimal compared to the developer-unfriendly asm options.
Point being; More CPU's (+ SMP support in kernel) = More power, no 
matter how the program was written or even compiled (although sending it 
once through strip is not a bad idea).

Internally we use Nagios.  I have been using for quite some time and love it.  Our company is looking into something like Nagios but packaging it into a product to help monitor our product, the Plumtree portal.

Has anyone looked into http://www.hyperic.com/ before?  The folks in upper management are looking for a company to partner up with.

If anyone knows of a better commercial product, can you please give me your suggestions.  The portal manager is looking for something like Nagios, network/systems management tool, but with commercial support.  I don't think that Plumtree can package Nagios since that would break some of the legal aspects of using opensource.  I personally love Nagios and would not want my company to re-package Nagios and try to sell it as a add-on package/service without giving back to Nagios.  (sorry I don't understand the licensing all too well)

Thank you,

I ran into a similar problem because we had external applications posting
to cmd.cgi (actually our own hacked up version called alarm.cgi).  A race
condition exists if you allow cmd.cgi to write to the non-existant named
pipe.  Think about it like this:

1.	Start Apache
2.	Start Nagios
3.	Stop Nagios
4.	Apache writes to nagios.cmd via cmd.cgi
5.	Start Nagios fails because nagios.cmd exists

Ugh.

NSCA solves this problem by providing an alternate dump file:

# ALTERNATE DUMP FILE
# This is used to specify an alternate file the daemon should
# write service check results to in the event the command file
# does not exist.  It is important to note that the command file
# is implemented as a named pipe and only exists when Nagios is
# running.  You may want to modify the startup script for Nagios
# to dump the contents of this file into the command file after
# it starts Nagios.  Or you may simply choose to ignore any
# check results received while Nagios was not running...

alternate_dump_file=/opt/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump

I picked the second option and simply chose to ignore and check reults
while Nagios is not running by editting alarm.cgi to check the existence
of nagios.cmd and exiting if the file doesn't exist.

Hope that helps.

Subject: Compiling with gd issues (some hints)
Message-ID: <40B2A297.8010802@omni.net.au>

Installing nagios on OpenBSD 3.5, came across the usual

checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)... (cached) no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 2)... (cached) no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 3)... (cached) no

Which everyone seems to run into.  And yes, using --with-gd-inc and 
--with-gd-lib didn't work.  I was using libgd from the ports tree.  
libpng and libjpeg are installed along with libgd.  It all looks good.  
nm lists the correct symbols.

Anyway, compiling a test program (as suggested by a previous user):

char gdImagePng();
int main() {
 gdImagePng();
 return 0;
}

led to discover that libgd was linked with libttf  (true type fonts)

Adding an environment variable LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lz -lgd -ljpeg 
-lpng -lttf"

made everything work as expected

Can anyone add further comments to this?

If you take a spin through the mailing list archives, you should find
several posts with that exact information.  At one point I thought the
relevant file(s) were going to be modified (Makefile.in?), but perhaps
that hasn't happened.

It seems to me that this proposal requires that the custom notification
command be used for _all_ notifications (at least those that want a
different message for each escalation level). 

I would prefer that the custom notification command be used by only for
escalated notifications.

(This was a rediculous proposal of mine since the correlator would have
to replicate the Nag configuration for
hosts/hostgroups/services/constacts .. to determine who gets notified. 
Quite doable - epsesh with Nagios::Config but stupid).

Subject: NRPE SSL authentication
Message-ID: <20040525073919.GA8000@tyr.car.belbone.be>

Hi all!

I have a problem with NRPE on one of our servers.
I compiled NRPE on one of our servers and configured my nagios to check
some services on the remote server, but I get following message as the
result of my service check:

 CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon. 

When I look on the server where I installed NRPE on, I see in the
/var/log/messages file:

 May 25 09:08:46 odin nrpe[15635]: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 1


Is it because the SSL versions are not matching or am I missing something?


Thanx for any help!

Wim

I don't see why you cannot repackage Nagios and sell the service - in fact,
the GNU licence allows you to do that. What you cannot do is remove the GNU
licence or the copyrights.

Other companies "make money" from opensource software. Apple use a version
of FreeBSD as the core of their MacOSX. Red Hat make money from distributing
Linux. Webhosting companies use Apache to sell their services.

The key, I think, is to be open about it ("Plumtree use Nagios as the core
of our monitoring software") and show that you are "being a good citizen" by
contributing back changes and generally helping to improve the codebase. I
would be happy to credit Plumtree for any patches that you provide to show
your participation.

As for commercial support, http://nagios.org lists a few companies that will
provide you an extra level of support if your customers have problems that
you cannot fix internally. I'm sure you could partner with one of them.

My point is, I wouldn't rule out Nagios just because it is opensource. If
you think it is a good product, then your customers will too.

Internally we use Nagios.  I have been using for quite some time and love
it.  Our company is looking into something like Nagios but packaging it into
a product to help monitor our product, the Plumtree portal.

Has anyone looked into http://www.hyperic.com/ before?  The folks in upper
management are looking for a company to partner up with.

If anyone knows of a better commercial product, can you please give me your
suggestions.  The portal manager is looking for something like Nagios,
network/systems management tool, but with commercial support.  I don't think
that Plumtree can package Nagios since that would break some of the legal
aspects of using opensource.  I personally love Nagios and would not want my
company to re-package Nagios and try to sell it as a add-on package/service
without giving back to Nagios.  (sorry I don't understand the licensing all
too well)

So package it, sell it, and give back to Nagios and the OSS-community 
what you can. It's not hard, really. Nor is it immoral or frowned upon 
by the Nagios community (at least not by Ethan).

We do it, and we try to contribute every way we can. Some of the things 
we write are quite dependant on the type of system configuration we use. 
Those rarely get uploaded since it's silly to force people to modify it 
a lot to implement it.

Others can be used on a wider variety of systems. I have sent a bunch of 
plugins to the nagiosplug-devel list, and since a couple of days I 
maintain NRPE (suits me rather well, since I've been porting it and 
hacking on it since I started this job). If check_icmp (check_fping but 
with fping code bundled, sort of) gets included in nagiosplug cvs I'll 
maintain that as well. I'd have to do it anyways, since my company pays 
me to, and by making it public I increase the chance of getting someone 
else to test and bugfix it for me.

> (sorry I don't understand the licensing all too well)

It's really quite simple. GPL states that you can do whatever you want 
with the code released under it, so long as you make the source-code 
available along with the binaries. In other words, you have to make sure 
every last one of your customer has access to the source-code of every 
GPL licensed thing you ship.

The simple and proper way to do this is to supply either a public mirror 
of every project you include (thereby also contributing to the OSS 
community), or simply set up a closed ftp for your customers, if 
bandwidth is limited.

If you write your own stuff (like a GOOD webconfig interface for 
Nagios), you don't have to supply the sources or make it publicly 
available, but it will ofcourse be very much appreciated.
If you modify GPL'ed code, you have to make the changes available to all 
those you supply binaries to.

It's not required that you upload your changes to GPL code to the 
public, but it is sort of frowned upon not to do so. Also, if your 
improvements are good enough to make it into main project (hacking 
latest CVS source is a good way to increase possibilities for this), 
it's stupid not to submit them.

The reason for this is that you'd have to back-port every new release to 
include your enhancements, while the maintainer of the software will 
incorporate them for you (and code his/hers way around it) while 
enhancing and bugfixing it if it makes it in.

Ton,

Just a comment.  I had an argument in some depth with MySQL about why 
they force people to buy there product.  My understanding is, and I hope 
other people will correct me:

You can't sell GPL as-is.

You can sell support licenses, installation, the hardware it sits on, 
configuration, help, the box and CD's it comes in.  But not the program.

MySQL *claim* you can sell GPL code if a you extend the product and sell 
the result.  Therefore breaking the GPL.  You are effectively buy a 
license which revokes the GPL for your specific case.

MySQL further claim than an extension of GPL includes any product which 
uses any part of theirs, and no other interoperable system.  Which 
includes use of the GPL drivers and other code used within foreign code.

Therefore if any other company took Nagios, used any part of it as the 
basis of another product which they then sold, this is illigal.   But 
you can charge them a wopping great license to revoke the GPL....

This can be changed by adopting the LGPL license, which waves rights on 
your code used in foreign code.  Which is the same as the BSD license 
used by PostgreSQL.

Further information from MySQL.

It must be noted that all of this is untested by law, including MySQL's 
claims that there interperation is correct.

Wrong. You are allowed to sell GPL-Software as any price you want (if
you find a customer is another question).

Yout *can* sell GPL software. Even in the USA.

Yup can sell extended GPL code. Wether your extensions are under the GPL
or not, depends on the modifcations. If your extension cannot run (or
make sense) without the (imported/downloadet) GPL core, then your
extension is clearly under the GPL - with all advantages and
disadvantages.
And you cannot revoke the GPL with any action you take (except all
pwners of the copyright/"Urheberrecht" agree to license the software
under a different license) - some people actually do this: They odffer a
free version on the web and sell commercial versions with a proprietary
license (but you cannot import a GPL'ed patch for the free version into
the proprietory version since you would also import the GPL, which you
probably do not want in that case).
If your action violates the GPL, you are not allowed to do take that
action.

I didn't understand the last paragraphs.

No, BSD-License and LGPL are not quite similar (RMS would probably
stated this in stronger words ;-).
A LGPL-library can be linked (as in "compile and link") against
propriatory code without importing a license. If you link a GPL-library
against your proprietory code, your proprietory code is under the GPL.

Actually the GPL itself it untested in court - and as it seems not even
SCO (including the anonymous financiers in the back) will get it into
court.

Ben,

This is a misconception - you can sell GPL code:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney

The main requirement for publishers of GPL code is that you have to make the
source code available. So Plumtree could do this: 

- Take Nagios as their backend monitoring service
- Make whatever modifications to the core Nagios code depending on what
their customers want
- Charge for the software (and any associated support costs)

The GPL insists that changes to that core code must be available to their
customers (but any custom software that does not include GPL code can be
kept private - cf the open source Darwin of MacOSX and their propritary
Quartz rendering engine). 

These changes do not have to be submitted back to the Nagios community.
However, in my view, to be a "good citizen", those modifications should come
back to us for inclusion into future versions. In return, we would be happy
to publicise their involvement. 

I think this is a win-win-win situation: we get increased quality in code,
Plumtree get to supply monitoring services for a lower startup cost and
customers get great software that helps their business.

Ton,

Just a comment.  I had an argument in some depth with MySQL about why they
force people to buy there product.  My understanding is, and I hope other
people will correct me:

You can't sell GPL as-is.

You can sell support licenses, installation, the hardware it sits on,
configuration, help, the box and CD's it comes in.  But not the program.

MySQL *claim* you can sell GPL code if a you extend the product and sell the
result.  Therefore breaking the GPL.  You are effectively buy a license
which revokes the GPL for your specific case.

MySQL further claim than an extension of GPL includes any product which uses
any part of theirs, and no other interoperable system.  Which includes use
of the GPL drivers and other code used within foreign code.

Therefore if any other company took Nagios, used any part of it as the 
basis of another product which they then sold, this is illigal.   But 
you can charge them a wopping great license to revoke the GPL....

This can be changed by adopting the LGPL license, which waves rights on your
code used in foreign code.  Which is the same as the BSD license used by
PostgreSQL.

Further information from MySQL.

It must be noted that all of this is untested by law, including MySQL's
claims that there interperation is correct.

Hi all,

I have just added a new host group and hosts to Nagios with associated 
service checks. When looking at the Host Detail and Service Detail page 
using these new hosts do not always show. If I refresh the browser they 
sometime appear, although more often than not they are not showing. Has 
anyone seen this before? Does this point to a configuration file error? 
I am using Nagios 1.2

Ton & Others,

Sorry, I checked, you are right.  You *can* change for GPL software. 
However the source code must be available, and therefore the product is 
also free.  As Bernd said, 'if you find a customer is another question'.

What I really meant therefore was:  You can't *force* people to pay for 
GPL code.  Accept for model MySQL have adopted.

As you say, if they don't fork the code, this would be great.  There 
must be a large number of corporate companies who would respect Nagios 
more if a commercial support license and support was available.

This happened to me when I had more than one nagios process running,
i.e. the old one didn't get killed properly. I'd have a look using 
ps -ef | grep nagios 
and see if one was started at a time before the configuration change.
You could also stop the service and see if any processes remain, then
kill those off.

No, it doesn't.  It states that modified source must be available to ALL
third parties under the GPL for no more than a reasonable distribution
cost (and the FAQ makes it clear that "third parties" means anybody who
asks for it).  You can charge for the modified program (but must make
source available under the GPL).  You can charge for installation.  You can
charge for support.  But you MUST make the source available to anyone who
asks, even if they have not purchased your program and/or support. 

> These changes do not have to be submitted back to the Nagios community.

My unreliable memory seems to think that previous versions of the GPL
stated explicitly that changes should be submitted back, but I could
be wrong.  Certainly the current license makes it clear that the Nagios
community could request the changed source and cannot be refused because
anybody can request it and get it for no more than a reasonable copying
charge.

You don't have to justify it by invoking altruism.  It makes economic
sense to submit patches rather than having to patch each new release. 

There is another alternative if Ethan has copyright over all the
submissions as well as his own work.  The copyright holder is permitted
to release the work under non-GPL terms as well as GPL terms.  So Ethan
could license a propietary version identical to the GPL version that
Plumtree could sell under proprietary terms.  The only difference would
be that Plumtree would not be required to release the source code and
Plumtree could insist that their customers not give others copies of the.
binaries.  Gnu discourage this, but it is permitted.

Finding customers is really, really easy. We've been selling it for 
about a year and a half, and now we're up to about 35 customers.

No, but you can force them to pay for a packaged *solution* of 
opensource products. We integrate nagios with cacti and a bunch of other 
utilities and tools, and customers are delighted that we have taken the 
month or two to package everything for them. We also have an 
auto-configuration tool which enables us to set them up and running in 
absolutely notime. If they were to implement everything themselves, it 
would take the better time of a year.

That's what you're supposed to sell, and what a number of companies are 
selling. Check out nagios.org for a list of many of them.

Subject: bagios and apache not on the same machine
Message-ID: <MORGANA6beUzmRf6Ci600000041@morgana.aquaticum.net>

I have a situation:
got a linux-box which runs nagios, and another, which has apache working for
the internet.
 
i tried to solve this by making a the /usr/local/nagios shared by NFS, and
the webserver connects to it.
 
the UIDs and GUIDs are the same, and the users which run apache are the same
too. if i connect to the nagios pc's web iface, then everything works fine,
if i just watch things on the webservers's nagios interface, it works too,
but if i try to issue a command to nagios, the cmd.cgi just hangs up. i mean
there's no response (Zero sized reply) it works fine, if i do this on the
nagios box's webserver.
 
i just don't have any ideas.
 
do you?

I had a very similar situation as well.  There's obviously lots of people
having issues with the ./configure script realizing gd is installed since
the script itself says "try this .... if you still can't get it to work
then move on to other things".  Unfortunately i don't accept answers like
that so i decided to get it working.  Using debian and apt-get installing
libgd-dev, libgd2, etc.. still did not provide a solution.  As the other
people have mentioned even with the proper libs installed --with-gd-inc and
--with-gd-lib don't work either.  My final solution although it's not
suggested and extremely messy was to modify the configure script where it
does the check and insert the proper gdfound=yep.  Everything worked find
and i received 0 compilation errors.  I'm sure the other solutions provided
will work just fine but it seems to me there's something wrong with the way
nagios does it's configure.

Installing nagios on OpenBSD 3.5, came across the usual

checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)... (cached) no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 2)... (cached) no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 3)... (cached) no

Which everyone seems to run into.  And yes, using --with-gd-inc and
--with-gd-lib didn't work.  I was using libgd from the ports tree.
libpng and libjpeg are installed along with libgd.  It all looks good.
nm lists the correct symbols.

Anyway, compiling a test program (as suggested by a previous user):

char gdImagePng();
int main() {
 gdImagePng();
 return 0;
}

led to discover that libgd was linked with libttf  (true type fonts)

Adding an environment variable LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lz -lgd -ljpeg
-lpng -lttf"

made everything work as expected

Can anyone add further comments to this?

It doesn't revoke the GPL, you can still use the code for MySQL as it is 
licensed to one-and-all under the GPL.

What MySQL is selling, is an additional license, once that gives you the right 
to modify and sell MySQL code WITHOUT giving your modifications back as is 
required by the GPL.

As I understand it, the is perfectly acceptable according to the terms of the 
GPL, as the MySQL folks still own their code and can grant anyone they want 
any license they see fit.  What they cannot do, is demand that everyone STOPS 
using thier code that has been released under the GPL.  They could, however, 
make any future releases closed source so long as any contributors agreed.

In a later message it has been written:

>What I really meant therefore was: ??You can't *force* people to pay for 
>GPL code. ??Accept for model MySQL have adopted.

And MySQL isn't forcing people to pay for GPL code...  They are charging 
people for the priviledge of using their code, that happens to be GPL'ed, in 
ways that do not folllow the terms of the GPL.  

What is being paid for is a license to use the code, a license that is totally 
independant from the GPL.  Completely acceptable, both by the terms of the 
GPL as well as ethically (IMO).

So, we're talking about two different, but peacefully co-existant licenses:
1.  The world at large has a license to use the MySQL code according to the 
terms of the GPL.  
2.  Whomever pays for it can have a license to use MySQL code according to 
whatever terms they negotiate with MySQL, which may include modifying the 
code without giving the modifications back.

I'm not sure I understand your problem exactly: I have a linux-box that
runs Nagios, and serveral others that have apache working for the
internet.  I suspect many people here do.

What you seem to be saying is you installed the Nagios web front end on
another internet-facing Apache box, and now you can't issue commands to
the Nagios process at the Nagios box(like restarting Nagios or
disablingnotifications for example.)  You have tried to work around it by
installing NFS on your apache front end box and your Nagios box in order
to have the two communicate.

Please see the documentation for information on how to properly install a
distribued Nagios configuration, which I assure you, has nothing to do
with NFS:

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

If this is not your problem, please provide more details as to what you
have running on each box and what you're trying to do.

Thanks.

Subject: check-host-alive returns /bin/ping -n -U -c 1 192.168.231.7
Message-ID: <40B35E9D.5090004@lsil.com>

Hello,
   Last night I encountered some check-host-alive commands that are 
returning some weird information. They return "/bin/ping -n -U -c 1 
192.168.231.7" as the output and mark the host as down.  I've gone 
through the list archives and mostly I found that this can be caused by 
/bin/ping not having permissions of 4755. I have checked this, here is 
the verification:

-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root        28724 Sep 11  2003 /bin/ping

I am currently running Nagios 1.2. I have been running nagios for about 
a year and this is the first occurance of this problem I have had. I 
have had a few outages in that time and they all return the appropriate 
status information. Here is an example:

PING CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (172.21.35.28)

Here is my check-host-alive command from checkcommand.cfg:

# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
        }


Any help at all in fixing this problem would be great. 

Thanks,

Russ

Subject: New hosts and services not visible in web interface - Again? Unfortenately yes
Message-ID: <NBBBLAOEFKJCEPIFIJGLCECIHOAA.Marc.Commandeur@chess.nl>

Hello,

Before I ask my question: I did read
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=21&expand=false&showdesc=false
and I did have a look through the first pages of archive of this list.

I added 3 hosts and 3 services but they do not appear in the Service Detail and the Host Detail
pages of the web interface. I reloaded the .cfg's and also restarted Nagios but, that did not help.
I checked whether there is an other nagios process running but, there is only 1.

I noticed this question is asked quite a lot. The standard answer (which is also in the FAQ) doesn't
help much. Does anybody have ideas?

Thanks,

Marc.

Hi all

I've just started Nagios with database support but it doesn't work

on the web interface I got the following error:

Whoops!

And in the log file nagios.log there is the following error message

Any ideas?

I'm just curious, with all the people that have problems with this, the
dozens of emails on the subject...would it make sense to have the nagios
process scan for other nagios processes on startup and throw an error?

Just a pre-check: Did you run the provided script to create the database?

Something like:

$ cd contrib/database
$ cat create_myqsl | mysql -u $USER -p$PASS -D $DATABASE -h $HOST

Where $USER $PASS $DATABASE and $HOST have been correctly setup, and are 
(probably) the same as those used in nagios.cfg?

I am all of a sudden having the same issue, on two
different Nagios boxes.  The difference for me is that
I am using check_ping instead of check-host-alive. 
(Some boxes return ok, other boxes return "bin/ping -n
-U -c 5 w.x.y.z".)

The additional problem I am having with that is that
Nagios is actually incorrectly reporting a box as
down, when in fact it is up.  I can ping it from the
box (using "bin/ping -n -U -c 5 w.x.y.123") as both
"root" and "nagios", so there's no reason Nagios
should see it as not pinging.

In about 95% of the cases, the cause really is multiple nagios processes
running. The remaining 5% are generally misconfiguration of
hosts/service/hostgroup definitions. Try running
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg to
check for the most common configuration errors.

Does nagios have ownership of the tables in the database or access
rights as detailed in
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xdata-db.html#table_definitions?
If that's not the issue, you should probably post exactly how you've
configured nagios including the appropriate config snippets and the
steps that you took so we can figure out where you went wrong.

Not really, no. What WOULD make sense is to add proper checking to the 
nagios init script, and perhaps a 'kidlevel' variable to the nagios code 
(to make it exit if it ever exceeds 1 (or something)).

Th
omas,
The check-host-alive uses check_ping to do it's check. So it is the same 
as yours.  I am having the same issue with nagios reporting a server 
down when it is actually up.

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0405251318340.22647@mississipi.dcc.ufmg.br>

Hi all,

I cannot log with a especific user in Nagios. Apache doesn't ask for a 
loging/password anymore!

"logged as ?"


It used to work fine. One day, it stoped. I think that it's a problema 
with Apache. How can I solve it? It's happening with 2 other friends of 
mine.


Here is my config:

------- cgi.cfg ---
use_authentication=0
#default_user_name=nagiosadmin

---- .htacces ----
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

---- htpasswd ---
leoh:NVIxSzbNNopBLAHw
nagiosadmin:dtXzgKyBLAHc/.

---- apache ---
#copy/paste from nagios documentation

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/nagios /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/
<DirectoryMatch /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios/>

Russ,

Actually, what I meant to say was that I was using
Nagios 1.1, and not Nagios 1.2 (not check-host-alive
vs. check_ping) - but of course, I was distracted
while writing the email.  ;)

Nagios config really doesn't matter at this stage. As you suspect, it's
likely an Apache problem, more specifically an htaccess issue. Do you
have a properly configured .htaccess file in ~nagios/sbin and an
appropriately configured .htpasswd file (as pointed to by .htaccess)?
Can apache read those files? If you do, your httpd error_log should
indicate in more detail what the problem is. If you do not have a
.htaccess file then the documentation at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/cgiauth.html#config_web_users
would be pertinent.

My init script does, and I posted it last week.

I was getting annoyed, too.

And I feel like a dork because I didn't even notice he included that
information in the original email. That's what I get for trying to
answer email while at a conference.

I've seen companies "get around" (not sure it's really legal) the GPL in
two ways.

One is to delay the release of the modifications enough to get a
first-mover advantage.  I haven't studied the GPL, but it sounds like
the GPL doesn't specify how soon you have to release your changes.

Another is to come up with an arrangement where you "own" the box your
modified code is on, so you aren't "redistributing" it (you're only
using it "internally").  You can then charge for the service of being
able to access the box.  There's been discussion of closing this
loophole in a future version of the GPL.

I'm not advocating either of these, but there are businesses trying
them.  We have an arrangement with at least one such business using the

I am pretty sure it should be read as 'if the user gets the program, the 
source must be made available to them at the same time'.

The GPL is pretty explicit:

  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
  price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
  you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and
  charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code
  or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or
  use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do
  these things.

If you _distribute_ your changed GPL, you must provide the source code
for the software you distribute (could be orig + patches) and not the
source code for some /other/ version of the software.

Otherwise, what's the point?

Add the Windows SNMP Service, and then use net-snmp to walk the
HostMIB values for hrSWInstalledTable.

Like:

$ snmpwalk hostname public hrSWInstalledTable
SNMP table: host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable

Index Name                                ID                       Type          Date
4     "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1" .ccitt.zeroDotZero       application   2003-7-16,18:3:24.0
5     "Internet Explorer Q818529"         .ccitt.zeroDotZero       application   2003-7-21,13:33:52.0
6     "Windows 2000 Hotfix - KB822831"    .ccitt.zeroDotZero       application   2003-10-3,10:3:48.0
7     "Windows 2000 Hotfix - KB823559"    .ccitt.zeroDotZero       application   2003-7-16,17:26:26.0

Sorry for the funky wrapping, just trying to illustrate the point. It
depends on the software, but the hrSWInstalledName may contain the
version number which you could detect via snmp with Nagios.

Thank you for helping me Jason Martin and Marc,

The .htaccess is mispelled just here. The file and configs are ok.

Marc, as you saw, all configs are ok. I did some other tests and found out 
some interesting things:

If I enable authentication and let default_user=guest, then Nagios 
(apache) asks for the login/password. But, it's obvious, the logged user 
will always be "guest".

So, till now, everything is ok:
1 - The authentication occurs
2 - Nagios identify the user

Next, I commented the default_user line. That is what most people do. If I 
do that, Nagios interface apperas without asking for login!! (I restarted 
the browser and all that stuff. It's not cache, please).

The message that appears is: " Logged as ?"

Well, pretty strange! I hope it's not a bug.

I dunno if it helps, but I am using Debian and I have installed nagios 
with apt-get. Nagios-1.2.

any idea?

This leads into the fun part where you write things yourself.  There are
tons of applications out there that will query a service and find out what
version it is.  You may want to look into nmap for such things.  Here is an
example:  (sorry for any lame text formatting this awful client may
produce)

Thank guys for all the support on this question.  I'll let the decsion

Its my understanding that they would like the ability to do the following:

- get versioing info for applications installed (aka Tomcat, Weblogic) on a

- graphed application response times from a user perspective (probably can
use PasTmon pastmon.sourceforge.net)

I am not sure if Nagios can do the first task for Windows.  It would be

Hey all,
	Has anyone ever integrated Nagios with their trouble ticket system? 
Maybe not stuck them into the same system, but how do you have Nagios 
send trouble tickets, and to what system?
	Just doing some research...

If you are using something like RT (www.bestpractical.com/rt/), you could
just define a new host notification command in nagios and then have email
alerts mailed to support at rtbox.com or whatever your trouble ticket box's
address is. Closing the ticket automatically when the outage ended would
probably be a bit more difficult. Anyone with more RT experience care to
comment?

Grant

Hey all,
	Has anyone ever integrated Nagios with their trouble ticket system?
Maybe not stuck them into the same system, but how do you have Nagios
send trouble tickets, and to what system?
	Just doing some research...

We have a pair of Linux servers, running Linux-HA as a heartbeat.   A
virtual IP address is passed between them, and the Apache web server listens
on the wildcard interface for https.  This takes care of the web interface.

The Nagios service is started/stopped by linux-ha when it passes control
back and forth.  Configuration of nagios is held on the 'master' server, and
periodically copied over to the standby.  This takes care of config
synchronisation, and not running two copies in parallel (which we do for
some stuff, but Nagios generates a lot of network queries and alerts, so
better to have only one copy running at once).

The database currently is not copied automatically, only manually.  However,
we're looking into having it on SAN (or shared SCSI, or something) so that
linux-ha can dismount/remount it between servers as part of the nagios
startup.  This allows the logs and data to be taken care of.

We also run BigBrother and MRTG/routers.cgi on the same server set.

Subject: Nagios changing group ownership of /var/log/nagios/rw
Message-ID: <20040525165511.B14758@pocsag>

I'm using the Nagios 1.2-3.1 Debian (unstable tree) package.  Having a weird
problem (prior version worked fine)...I've got /var/log/nagios/rw set up
as user nagios, group nagiocmd, sticky bit set on group ownership.  However,
when Nagios is restarted, it changes the group ownership of that directory
to nagios and then creates the nagios.cmd named pipe, so nagios.cmd is
owned by nagios and has group of nagios.  This breaks external commands.
Not sure where this needs to be fixed...do I need to change the group
that Nagios is running as in nagios.cfg?  Why is Nagios "helping" me in
this way?
Thanks.

We do that, with fully redundant servers. The only real difference 
between them is that the slave-server doesn't send notifications (both 
perform active checks, so everything is always as up-to-date as it could 
possibly be).

The two servers have 2 NIC's, ofcourse, and are interconnected with a 
crossed CAT5 to keep notifications from going haywire if the switch goes 
down.

For config-synchronization we have a nifty nrpe check. It works in 3 
steps which all short-circuit config-update;
1. Is MD5 checksum of config-dir same as last time we checked?
2. Does nagios -v nagios.cfg return OK?
3. scp -r ... ; restart nagios

Step 2 above is quite necessary, or we might find ourselves copying a 
configuration which is in the midst of being altered.
This technique is also happily being applied to plugins and so on.

If nagios (or one of the servers goes down), the other one automatically 
kicks in, turns master (and enables notifications if it wasn't master 
earlier). The event-handler for this also sets a passive service to 
CRITICAL, so that notifications for the 'other server is down' event are 
sent out.

Not necessarily. You might want to think about what happens when the 
link to the SAN array goes down (nagios cmd-pipe will fail, as will 
logging and just about everything else).

But this only handles one open request I hear you say. Yep. The proper
way to do this is to have a notification command that consults a hash of
requests keyed by service descriptions/names. The notify command 
probably should also determine the request queue using similar means.

Closing requires an event handler to post a 'request resolved' to the RT 
web interface. AFAIK (and that's not saying much) this can't be done by 
email or perhaps it can if the nagios mailer is authorised by Request 
Tracker as an admin for the relevant request queue.

That was about the point I got to, and decided that the ability to parse
the contents of incoming email in RT would be a really good thing (tm).

Not long after this, I discovered:
http://download.bestpractical.com/pub/rt/contrib/2.0/rt-addons/enhanced-mailgate.README
http://download.bestpractical.com/pub//rt/contrib/2.0/rt-addons/enhanced-mailgate

But these are for rt2 - didn't make it to rt3...*shakes fist in the sky*

But! There may be hope!

How on EARTH can you keep track of that? Why not just let it execute a 
script which does something like;
cat << EOF | /usr/bin/sendmail
To: $1
From: Nagios
Subject $2 alert
...
...
EOF

I'm sure you get the idea.

Aye. We've done it a bit differently. The notification script we use 
check to see if ~/etc/$CONTACTNAME$ exists and is a directory. If so, it 
rolls over * of the files (that's all 'non-dot' files) and adds a 
variable with the name of the file. It then greps the file for the 
hostname and everything beyond a marker (currently \t I think) is the 
value of the variable (simple, eh? I'll redo this, come to think of it). 
This way we can add special meaning to certain hosts, and let each have 
its own ticket-number.

Also, the script greps ~/etc/$CONTACTNAME$/.notification_types for 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$. If the file exists, but $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ isn't in 
there, we don't send any alerts (this was done to let one of our 
customers get ACKNOWLEDGEMENT emails only to their support database).

Btw. Would anybody be interested in checking this script out?

I've conjured up a way of doing this as well, but decided against it (it 
involved some absurd db-handling and procmail scripts parsing 
confirmation emails).
Most of the problems are worthy of commenting, and the extra effort of 
clicking 'resolve' is better than having a bunch of tickets resolving 
themselves before I even have time to check into what caused the problem.
Also, 'old' tickets are great for logging 'cause-and-fix' stuff. In time 
we turn it into a trouble-shooting guide for our network. So far we have 
one entry;

Q: What should I do if the wireless hub goes down?
A: If you don't know, it's your turn to buy coffee.

The guide isn't really used much.

A better way of doing this (than with a custom notification command,
which however works fine) _may_ be with event correlation software such
as SEC, LogSurfer, or Swatch that responds to the HARD messages in the
Nag log by updating the 'trouble ticket' system.

The potential advantages are

. logging (by the EC software) the opening, update and closing of
requests/trouble tickets.

. complete independence from Nagios - no need to define new notification 
commands etc - and therefore can be tested and debugged independently.

. no impairment of Nag performance (by for example blocking notification
while waiting for the custom notification command to restore state and
so on).

Probably the key thing no matter which thing updates the RT system,
there is a self contained program that restores the state of open
requests and then determines what to do with this event on that basis ie
update existing request, open new one, close (maybe - probably better
done by service desk operations) requests.

Yours sincerely.

that these mailgate programs that update RT tickets based on
'pseudo-headers' in incoming mail sound pretty cool.

All that is required is a Nag notify command that adds these lines of
text to your outgoing mail from Nagios. That command probably needs to
be a stand alone program that works out which extra lines to add on the
basis of the Nag macro values.

'Basically, this will make your standard mailgate accept quasi-headers
like "Status: resolved" in the top of the body, up to the first blank
line. It also has some fairly rudimentary support for named custom
fields... Enough for me, but you may wish to extend it somewhat,
depending upon your requirements.'

Sounds great. Thanks for sharing this.

I am on my way integrating Nagios with our Trouble Ticket System (OTRS -
otrs.org) but I think there are pretty much issues that are the same -
not depending to the software itself.

My problem with this is that each email, also when it is a RECOVERY for
an existing PROBLEM, creates a new ticket as it is a new mail with no
corresponding [Ticket#]-Subject.

Hmmm...but as every problem is a new ticket, wouldn't it better to
write an dynamic notification-command (or wouldn't be a global event
handler the better choice?) that resolves the corresponding Ticket#
out of the Ticket system.
Something like
SELECT * FROM ticket WHERE 'status' = 'open' AND 'queue' = 'nagios' AND
subject ='hostname' ;-)

Thats a big issue also for me. Has anyone ever closed a ticket in OTRS
out of another system?

I see.
As far as i understand the problem is that the cmd.cgi cannot write to the
nagios.cmd pipe if it's on an NFS share. I don't know C that much to locate
more carefully the problem, in the end i will probably be enough crazy and
write a PHP script which will work on the webserver, and call cmd.cgi on the
nagios-box.

If i'll do that i promise to make it available to the open source community,
but it will be much later...

Thanks for your help.

Stanley (and list)

Upon investigation, alternatively one could take advantage of the cli
interface shipped with later versions of rt3.

To change a ticket to resolved would only require the command

/usr/bin/rt edit ticket/118 set status=resolved

to be issued on the rt host, where in this example 118 is the relevant
ticket number. So instead of needing to parse incoming email, you could
use sh or ssh commands.

So now it becomes a question of how to feed the autoreply email into
nagios, so nagios gains a sense of the ticket number. (given that event
hanlders can easily handle setting of the ticket to resolved)

http://naplax.sourceforge.net/REL.html

(or something like that) could probably form the basis of how we get
data in - but instead of sending it to nagios.cmd, we could send it to
comment.log. We could store the ticket number in comment.log - and we
grep for it when the service resolves...

..This is starting to feel like an ugly hack, but it is perhaps
something to build upon? - the next tricky part is differentiating
between services and hosts...but I sense the right info in the subject
line is the key.

Subject: Lotus Domino
Message-ID: <40B4795D.1060204@thales-is.com>

Hi all,

I've been browsing the list archives before subscribing (been subscribed 
a long time ago, so it's good to be back ;)) searching for a way to 
monitor a Lotus Domino Server in depth. Checking for the Lotus port is 
not enough for my deployment... so the obvious question: is there such a 
plugin to monitor Lotus Domino?

I also saw the NXE (Nagios XML Engine) - http://nxe.sourceforge.net/  - 
On its website (see "About") it's said:
---
NXE is designed to address these data integration concerns by allowing 
Nagios to be fully integrated with any XML capable platform. Many 
intranet, extranet and web based application platforms (such as 
Microsoft's IIS/.Net servers, IBM's Domino & Websphere and Apache's 
SOAP, Xerces & Xalan projects to name a few) use XML as their core data 
structures and NXE allows Nagios to be integrated with all of them for 
both reporting and control (via Nagios' external command interface) of 
multiple Nagios systems.
---

If I understand it correctly, through NXE it could be possible to 
monitor/control Lotus Domino... or am I wrong?
Has anyone deployed such a solution?


Thanks in advance!
Martin

Easy. procmail lets you parse incoming email with scripts, so it's 
rather trivial to fetch host-info and all from it (grep, sed, awk)

Here's how it could be done;
A webserver breaks down (for instance).

Nagios notices this and calls a notification script.

The notification script adds a couple of values to an sql-database 
(mysql batchmode makes this really easy), like service_description and 
host_name, and sends the notification off to RT.

RT gets the notification, makes a ticket of it and sends out an auto-reply.

Procmail receives the auto-reply, parses it, finds service_description 
and host_name in subject-line (or wherever) and sets ticket number.

Company webguru notices that things have gone wrong, and checks in an 
acknowledgement.

Notification script checks for entries with current service_description 
and host_name in sql-db, retrieves the ticket number and sends off a 
ticket continuation to RT.

RT adds the acknowledgement to the ticket in the proper queue, but sends 
no auto-reply.

The broken-down IIS webserver pops back up.

Nagios notices this, and once again calls the notification script, so 
that a RECOVERY notification goes out.

Notification script fetches ticket number from db, adds it to the 
subject line, sends the notification, deletes the ticket number from sql 
db (it's prudent, but not necessary) and executes the proper remote 
command by some means thus resolving the ticket.


Plain enough?

Why on earth would you want to add it to a file that nagios keeps open?
Think race conditions...

It is a hack, but that doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing.

Not really. It's actually quite trivial to differ between services and 
hosts, as you can have two different scripts for the two.

Or anywhere else, as long as it stays in circuit from RT to Nagios.

to be issued on the rt host, where in this example 118 is the relevant
ticket number. So instead of needing to parse incoming email, you could
use sh or ssh commands.

So now it becomes a question of how to feed the autoreply email into
nagios, so nagios gains a sense of the ticket number. (given that event
hanlders can easily handle setting of the ticket to resolved)

http://naplax.sourceforge.net/REL.html

(or something like that) could probably form the basis of how we get
data in - but instead of sending it to nagios.cmd, we could send it to
comment.log. We could store the ticket number in comment.log - and we
grep for it when the service resolves...

..This is starting to feel like an ugly hack, but it is perhaps
something to build upon? - the next tricky part is differentiating
between services and hosts...but I sense the right info in the subject
line is the key.

Hi Martin,

We monitor our Domino servers via Nagios.

Via TCP port 1352 - Works very well because when domino get a serious error
it normaly closes the 1352 port.

Via SNMP - here we ask for waiting mails and dead mails. A good indicator
if something is wrong in the system.
There are other values to ask for but not used.
If you get errors here like unknow data - that would also indicate that
something is wrong.

Anyway thanks for the info NXE

Thomas

Hi all,

I've been browsing the list archives before subscribing (been subscribed
a long time ago, so it's good to be back ;)) searching for a way to
monitor a Lotus Domino Server in depth. Checking for the Lotus port is
not enough for my deployment... so the obvious question: is there such a
plugin to monitor Lotus Domino?

I also saw the NXE (Nagios XML Engine) - http://nxe.sourceforge.net/  -
On its website (see "About") it's said:
---
NXE is designed to address these data integration concerns by allowing
Nagios to be fully integrated with any XML capable platform. Many
intranet, extranet and web based application platforms (such as
Microsoft's IIS/.Net servers, IBM's Domino & Websphere and Apache's
SOAP, Xerces & Xalan projects to name a few) use XML as their core data
structures and NXE allows Nagios to be integrated with all of them for
both reporting and control (via Nagios' external command interface) of
multiple Nagios systems.
---

If I understand it correctly, through NXE it could be possible to
monitor/control Lotus Domino... or am I wrong?
Has anyone deployed such a solution?


Thanks in advance!
Martin

Not to my knowlege. The reason probably is that there are quite a number
of different things which could be checked. So far, I'm checking TCP port
1352 with check_tcp to see if Domino is accepting connections (NRPC) and
of course the usual ports for HTTP, SMTP, LDAP (80, 25, 389). As you rightly
say, that is not enough for me either.

What I'm also doing (our Domino servers run on Win32) is to use nsclient on
Win32 and check_nt on the Nagios host to check for running Domino services.
Of course that doesn't really do much either.

To my mind there are two more steps which could be taken, but I haven't (yet)
gone that route: the first is to use the Domino SNMP agent (is somewhere
on the distribution CD) and check_snmp to query some variables (no experience
with the agent).

The second is to write custom apps which perform some Notes function (e.g.
check how many documents in the server's outgoing mail.box) and have
check_nrpe or perhaps even NSCA use that for alerting...

I don't see that. NXE is to me a toolset for re-arraning Nagios' data in
order to produce reports. I may be wrong though.

Why bother more than necessary, and why add the additional delay? 
Procmail feeds the output of the mail to stdin of a script the instant 
(more or less) it arrives in the inbox. A check in nagios with an 
eventhandler connected to it is bound to be slower, more tedious and 
overall more than just a bit too cumbersome for this task.

In the meantime I discoverd that nagios waits 10 seconds when a check

this.
I did find another small error in our config and the number of 
checks/minute is up from 50 to 280..  But I still find this rather low.. 
Is there a workaround for the host check timeout?
If I understand your first post correctly, nagios won't recover when my

max_check_attempts in host objects (or their templates). You can safely 
set this to 5, but not lower than 3 unless you want flaky host-state 
detection.

Yes it will, but not until it's soundly down and nagios knows it. This 
is to be 'cleverized', but is not so as of now (I know a good way to do 
it, but I don't have the time).

On the other hand, it's sort of silly to implement a monitoring solution 
if you know the network is riddled with problems. Nagios does its job 
best in a network that works, but where some points of it tends to fail 
or get overloaded from time to time.

Hmmmm...yes...2 processes of Nagios running.

Killed them off and restarted. This seems to have fixed it. It also 
explains why alerts were being duplicated :-)

serices in this hostgroup' from the hostgroup-page the same as scheduling 
downtime for the host from the host-page?

If not, what is the appropriate way to schedule downtime for all services 
on a host?

Thanks,

I currently monitor about 200 hosts and 700 services. However, in the
past I have monitored 500 hosts and 2500 services with no issues on a
PIII 866Mhz box.
 
Changing the number of simultaneous checks as suggested by Nagios is a
good start. However, there are several other parameters that you may
want to look at, as described in these docs:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/checkscheduling.html
There is probably additional information relevant to your issue in the
docs and/or FAQ, do a little digging.
 
You may also want to look into distributed monitoring.  
 
When responding, please email the list, and not only to me. I don't have
all the answers and there are people out there with more knowledge than
I that may be able to offer further assistance. Also, it's a good idea
to have these threads in the archives, so that maybe it will help
someone else in the future.

Hi, 
Thanks for your advice, but I've already tried this,   nagios suggests
560 simultanous checks, I changed this value in nagios.cfg, but it
doesn't make any difference...   For some reason the entire system bogs
down. 
Anyway I am planning to remove 80% of the hosts from nagios,  and then I
hope to see some improvement.. 
Just to have an idea about the size of my nagios setup,  how many
hosts/services do you monitor with nagios? 

Thanks&regards,

Run Nagios with the help parameter '-h'. This will give you a
description of a few other parameters that can be run. I think the one
you will be interested in is '-s', which analyzes your check scheduling
information and makes suggestions for improvement. You'll probably need
to run the command like so: 
  
/path/to/nagios/bin/nagios -s /path/to/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Hi All, 

We are setting up nagios to monitor our infrastructure, and we ran into
a few problems.  Most of them I"ve been able to solve,  thanks to
reading the mailinglist.  But the latest problem is a persistent one. 
I'm running nagios on Suse Enterprise server 9, with kernel 2.6.5 on a
dual 2.4 ghz intel Xeon server with hyperthreading enabled, the system
has 2GB ram.   We recompiled the kernel with SMP-support, en it detects
4 cpu's..   In nagios we defined 405 servers, and we do 6855 active
checks, and 17 passive checks.   And we have an extremely bad
performance.   
At the tactical overview I see the following information:  check
latency: 4468.402 sec.    It takes nagios about 1,5 hour to see a status
change.   Needless to say that this is not acceptable. 
Anyway I am looking for some hints, does anybode have an idea on what
causes this behavior? 

Thanks in advance!! 
Marino

Not quite.  When the user gets the program the user must be informed about
how they can get the source for that version of the program or the source
must be included with the program.  It doesn't have to be available
directly, they may have to send money for media/shipping and get a CD
in the post.  But they DO have to be told that they can have the source
if they want it.  Not only that, ANYONE can request a copy of the source
whether they have purchased the program or not.

Hello All:

I am running Nagios 1.2 and Nagios Plugins 1.3.1.  Everything is
working perfectly except for the check_nagios plugin.  Every 5
minutes the web interface advises Nagios may not be running and all
of my service check options go away.  Nagios is running throughout,
so I'm not sure why the plugin is thinking it's not.  If I killall
- - -HUP Nagios it works again for 5 minutes and then dies.

This behavior happens whether I run Nagios in daemon mode or not. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually, at least in the snippet you've quoted, it doesn't say anything
about how soon you have to make the code available.  EG, is it OK to
have a procedure for shipping a cdrom that takes 2 months?

There are companies trying these delays, and I'm not hearing about the
FSF getting on their respective cases.

At this point I've tried everything I know to do to troubleshoot this
issue. I've even recompiled Nagios with the default Performance Data
method and setup commands to append the data to the log files, which
produced the same results (or lack of results) as the File Based
perfdata method. 

Let me ask the following of anyone who is currently using Performance
Data, be it file based or default method:
When you look in the nagios log file, and see the entries pertaining to
the checks that would return perfdata, is the pipe and $PERFDATA$ value
included in the log entry?

I'm not seeing perdata in my nagios.log, I only see an entry such as:

[1085599923] SERVICE ALERT: monitor2;System Load Average;OK;HARD;1;OK -
load average: 1.09, 1.09, 1.15

Should the perfdata be shown here as well?

As I've shown before, it works fine from the command line:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec: sudo ./check_load -w 3,3,3 -c 5,5,5
OK - load average: 1.39, 1.10, 1.09|load1=1;3;5;0 load5=1;3;5;0
load15=1;3;5;0

Any help greatly appreciated. I really don't want to give up on this
feature.

Hey guys, 

Currently, I am using nagios nrpe to check services on a remote Windows 2k 
machine. It works but sometimes, very seldom, it times out, then service is 
reported again OK on the next run. We are using another tool called Servers 
Alive. To check a service on a remote Win2k, it only needs a username and a 
password. Can we do the same thing to with Nagios by compiling it with samba 
support? What's your recommendation? 

No TCP port checking please. 

Thanks in advance. 

Neil

This happened to me as well the first time i installed nagios.  If you
don't have the gdlib installed (among a few others) the statusmap.cgi will
not be built.  When you did your initial ./configure of nagios you probably
received a message stating that you didn't have gdlib and it gave you steps
to fix it but it continued on normally and built without errors.

Hey All,

Been using Nagios for a while, it sure beats the tail off of WhatsUp..
in fact, I liked it so much that I showed it off to a friend.  Within a
week he migrated off of his WhatsUp monitoring and went to Nagios,
however, he has a cool feature which I lack.  On his 2d Status and 3d
Status page, he has neat lil icons for each of his hosts; I on the other
hand do not other than the defaults.  We're both running Version 1.2,
however I use the MySQL backend (compiled with -xdata) whereas he uses
the file based version.

Both my cgi.cfg and resource.cfg have the following:

xeddb_host=localhost
xeddb_port=3306
xeddb_database=nagios
xeddb_username=nagios
xeddb_password=heyb00b00

And other MySQL tables have populated rows.. so I know my SQL connection
is valid.

And for reference, here is a dump of my extended data table in mysql

CREATE TABLE `hostextinfo` (
  `host_name` varchar(75) NOT NULL default '',
  `notes_url` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  `icon_image` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  `vrml_image` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  `gd2_icon_image` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  `icon_image_alt` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  `x_2d` int(11) NOT NULL default '-1',
  `y_2d` int(11) NOT NULL default '-1',
  `x_3d` double(16,4) NOT NULL default '-1.0000',
  `y_3d` double(16,4) NOT NULL default '-1.0000',
  `z_3d` double(16,4) NOT NULL default '-1.0000',
  `have_2d_coords` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0',
  `have_3d_coords` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0'
) TYPE=MyISAM;

INSERT INTO `hostextinfo` VALUES ('lump', '', 'freebsd40.gif',
'freebsd40.gif', 'freebsd40.gd2', 'FreeBSD', -1, -1, '-1.0000',
'-1.0000', '-1.0000', 0, 0);
INSERT INTO `hostextinfo` VALUES ('fb1.tylr', '', 'firebox.gif',
'firebox.gif', 'firebox.gd2', 'Watchguard Firebox', -1, -1, '-1.0000',
'-1.0000', '-1.0000', 0, 0);

And here are the hosts as referred to above:

define host{
        use                     notify
        host_name               lump
        alias                   Lump (FreeBSD)
        address                 192.168.70.26
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }
define host{
        use                     notify
        host_name               fb1.tylr
        alias                   Tyler, TX - Firebox
        parents                 sw01.tylr
        address                 192.168.70.7
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }

I checked, the images referred to above do exist in my logos directory.
I've kill -9'ed and restarted every time I've made a change which has
not helped either.  I'm stumped.. I even tried reverting to a file
version for extended host info and restarted Nagios.. no luck.. I think
it doesn't work because I compiled using SQL and it won't even try a
file.  I'm stumped here, read the FAQ and 4 weeks worth of majordomo
mailing list archives.. I've got nothing.. Any help would rock the
casbah!  I think I've been very detailed as to my problem.. if you need
any more clues/details, just mail me direct, I'm on the digest version
of the mailer.

One other thing completely unrelated; is there a way to design these
displays with a GUI that will spit out cords so that my maps look
pretty?  Even my 3d map really only uses a 2d plane, it would be neat to
see objects spread out on the third plane.

I guess its notification_interval thats problem. It
should be something more than that.

This sounds like the problem I had with extended info.
Apparently, you have to specifically put a switch for entedned info(whether
it be database or file based) in the ./configure itself. This should then
let it read your extinfo after you install the new Nagios.
Also, I use nagiosmap.pl to set up my 2D map, but I have yet to find a nice
program for 3d map.

Indeed, that was the kicker.  It worked like a champ after recompiling
with that specific flag enabled.

Thanks so much!

This sounds like the problem I had with extended info.
Apparently, you have to specifically put a switch for entedned info(whether
it be database or file based) in the ./configure itself. This should then
let it read your extinfo after you install the new Nagios.
Also, I use nagiosmap.pl to set up my 2D map, but I have yet to find a nice
program for 3d map.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Extended Data problems under MySQL using Nagios 1.2
CGI Interface

>> Tried to send this message from my exchange mailbox.. of course it got
rejected ;)  Lets try this again using my normal mailbox.

Hey All,

Been using Nagios for a while, it sure beats the tail off of WhatsUp..
in fact, I liked it so much that I showed it off to a friend.  Within a
week he migrated off of his WhatsUp monitoring and went to Nagios,
however, he has a cool feature which I lack.  On his 2d Status and 3d
Status page, he has neat lil icons for each of his hosts; I on the other
hand do not other than the defaults.  We're both running Version 1.2,
however I use the MySQL backend (compiled with -xdata) whereas he uses
the file based version.

Both my cgi.cfg and resource.cfg have the following:

xeddb_host=localhost
xeddb_port=3306
xeddb_database=nagios
xeddb_username=nagios
xeddb_password=heyb00b00

And other MySQL tables have populated rows.. so I know my SQL connection
is valid.

And for reference, here is a dump of my extended data table in mysql

CREATE TABLE `hostextinfo` (
  `host_name` varchar(75) NOT NULL default '',
  `notes_url` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  `icon_image` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  `vrml_image` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  `gd2_icon_image` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  `icon_image_alt` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  `x_2d` int(11) NOT NULL default '-1',
  `y_2d` int(11) NOT NULL default '-1',
  `x_3d` double(16,4) NOT NULL default '-1.0000',
  `y_3d` double(16,4) NOT NULL default '-1.0000',
  `z_3d` double(16,4) NOT NULL default '-1.0000',
  `have_2d_coords` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0',
  `have_3d_coords` tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0'
) TYPE=MyISAM;

INSERT INTO `hostextinfo` VALUES ('lump', '', 'freebsd40.gif',
'freebsd40.gif', 'freebsd40.gd2', 'FreeBSD', -1, -1, '-1.0000',
'-1.0000', '-1.0000', 0, 0);
INSERT INTO `hostextinfo` VALUES ('fb1.tylr', '', 'firebox.gif',
'firebox.gif', 'firebox.gd2', 'Watchguard Firebox', -1, -1, '-1.0000',
'-1.0000', '-1.0000', 0, 0);

And here are the hosts as referred to above:

define host{
        use                     notify
        host_name               lump
        alias                   Lump (FreeBSD)
        address                 192.168.70.26
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }
define host{
        use                     notify
        host_name               fb1.tylr
        alias                   Tyler, TX - Firebox
        parents                 sw01.tylr
        address                 192.168.70.7
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }

I checked, the images referred to above do exist in my logos directory.
I've kill -9'ed and restarted every time I've made a change which has
not helped either.  I'm stumped.. I even tried reverting to a file
version for extended host info and restarted Nagios.. no luck.. I think
it doesn't work because I compiled using SQL and it won't even try a
file.  I'm stumped here, read the FAQ and 4 weeks worth of majordomo
mailing list archives.. I've got nothing.. Any help would rock the
casbah!  I think I've been very detailed as to my problem.. if you need
any more clues/details, just mail me direct, I'm on the digest version
of the mailer.

One other thing completely unrelated; is there a way to design these
displays with a GUI that will spit out cords so that my maps look
pretty?  Even my 3d map really only uses a 2d plane, it would be neat to
see objects spread out on the third plane.

You must remember to export it, or add it to the command-line of the 
daemon, as such;
---
export ORACLE_HOME=/var/lib/sid
nrpe -c /etc/nrpe.cfg -d

OR

Thank you.
Now statusmap .cgi is compiled.
But when I enter the Status Map, I get no image(there should be an image 
there).

When I move the mouse over I get some statistics, but I can't see the image.

Garry,

I don't get the performance data in nagios.log, but I do get it in 
serviceperf.log.  Sorry :)

I think you need to put in a request for help debugging nagios to find 
out where on earth your performance data is going, to somebody who knows 
the Nagios code better than my self.

But if I was having this problem, I'd put the line 'printf("DEBUG %s@%d 
Data = \"%s\"\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, data_line);  into the code about 
everywhere you can, and try and find where and why your data is being lost.

I am also extremely interested to find out where your performance data 
is being dropped, please keep trying!

Request: Yes.
Receive: Not necessarily.

This whole discussion could have been solved from the start by these 
entries in the GNU GPL FAQ, which clearly states that the GPL is there 
to prevent companies from getting NDA's on free software unless 
everybody involved agrees to it (in short; Noone should be forced to 
agree to anything).

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney

* Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?
     Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies 
is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special 
situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one 
exception is the required written offer to provide source code that must 
accompany binary-only release.)

* Does the GPL allow me to charge a fee for downloading the program from 
my site?
     Yes. You can charge any fee you wish for distributing a copy of the 
program. If you distribute binaries by download, you must provide 
"equivalent access" to download the source--therefore, the fee to 
download source may not be greater than the fee to download the binary.

* Does the GPL allow me to require that anyone who receives the software 
must pay me a fee and/or notify me?
     No. In fact, a requirement like that would make the program 
non-free. If people have to pay when they get a copy of a program, or if 
they have to notify anyone in particular, then the program is not free. 
See the definition of free software.

     The GPL is a free software license, and therefore it permits people 
to use and even redistribute the software without being required to pay 
anyone a fee for doing so.

* If I distribute GPL'd software for a fee, am I required to also make 
it available to the public without a charge?
     No. However, if someone pays your fee and gets a copy, the GPL 
gives them the freedom to release it to the public, with or without a 
fee. For example, someone could pay your fee, and then put her copy on a 
web site for the general public.

* Does the GPL allow me to develop a modified version under a 
nondisclosure agreement?
     Yes. For instance, you can accept a contract to develop changes and 
agree not to release your changes until the client says ok. This is 
permitted because in this case no GPL-covered code is being distributed 
under an NDA.

     You can also release your changes to the client under the GPL, but 
agree not to release them to anyone else unless the client says ok. In 
this case, too, no GPL-covered code is being distributed under an NDA, 
or under any additional restrictions.

     The GPL would give the client the right to redistribute your 
version. In this scenario, the client will probably choose not to 
exercise that right, but does have the right.



Read http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html for the exact legal text.

Subject: Question about dependency setup
Message-ID: <200405270140.41738.dave@linuxsense.net>


I have about 15 Linux hosts that are connected to the Linux server that runs 
Nagios via VPN tunnels (using vtun). I monitor about 6 services on each host.

Yesterday my tunnels went down and I got about 50 SMS messages that flooded my 
phone....and I would like to avoid that again!

I am thinking that I can setup a service for each host to ping the servers VPN 
IP address and have the services of that host be 'dependant' on this check. 
Can I do this using the 'check_host_alive' command that is already defined 
for each host or do I need to setup a separate service?

Thanks for any input on this.

Dave

Thanks! 

After checking the configuration I found they are only a normal active service check instead of passive check. (It only uses passive as the command name.)

After I submit an immediate service check request it's recovered.

A passive check means that nagios does nothing (hence passive as opposed
to active). It simply waits for the results to be submitted by some
external application. This is most often used with Distributed
Monitoring and the documentation for that and SNMP Trap integration
should clear up the different roles and processes for you. Since we
don't know what your LOGS/TRAPS services are (i.e. service and command
definitions and how you're implementing them), it's hard to be more
specific than that.

The GPL is quite clear that the source be available upon request. If you
request but do not receive then the company has broken the terms of the
GPL and is therefore in breach of contract and can be sued. The right
for the company to use even the unmodified code for any purpose is also
void and the company may be sued simply for using the code at all.  A
company might be stupid enough to try to withhold the source but would be
unlikely to continue along that path when faced with legal action by GNU.
GNU would act in such a case and has done so in the past. 

If any company had misbehaved in such a way, been taken to court and won
then we'd all know about it because the GPL would be dead.  If any company
had misbehaved in such a manner and GNU ignored the issue the GPL would
also be dead because a copyright holder who is informed of breach of
copyright but takes no action effectively relinquishes the copyright. 

So receive?  Yes, eventually.  Maybe after a delay while GNU has their
lawyers send threatening letters.

Subject: check_by_ssh -> Hostkey verification failed
Message-ID: <40B5D33B.7020007@alienn.net>

Hi list,
I just setup a service check with check_by_ssh this has the "oddity",
that it checks a host behind a nat, but the ssh port is forwarded. The
check command has the following syntax:

define command {
command_name                   check_nrpe_by_ssh_nat
command_line                   $USER1$/check_by_ssh -p 2022 -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C '$USER1$/check_nrpe -H localhost -c $ARG1$'
}

define service {
use                            theisen-service
host_name                      linux-doc.theisen-muc.de
service_description            NRPE-ZOMBIES-THEISEN-DOC
check_command                  check_nrpe_by_ssh_nat!check_zombie_procs
}

If I manually enter this command as the user nagios after a "sudo su -
nagios" it works flawlessly. Have I overlooked something?


Thanks
Nicki

You can do anything you like, if you can script it.

So if you can write a Unix script (perl or shell script, probably) that 
calls your "servers alive" tool, and returns the result that Nagios 
expects, then yes, you can do it. If you're lucky, someone else might 
have done it already.

If this doesn't help you, try posting another message with "Servers 
Alive" in the subject. May catch someone's attention.

No. It quite clearly states that noone can be forced to do anything they 
don't want to with regards to the source. What part of the below FAQ 
entry is it that you don't understand?
--[ snip ]----
* If I distribute GPL'd software for a fee, am I required to also make 
it available to the public without a charge?
     No. However, if someone pays your fee and gets a copy, the GPL 
gives them the freedom to release it to the public, with or without a 
fee. For example, someone could pay your fee, and then put her copy on a 
web site for the general public.
--[ snip ]----

No. Read the above FAQ entry twice. Then once more, for good measure.

GNU is an operating system (Linux is the kernel, which is a quite 
separate thing).

No. The Free Software Foundation would act. GNU only acts when the 
programs that are part of it are run.

No. He/she still retains copyright and can take actions for as long as 
the laws in the country where the violations took place states that he can.

GNU has no lawyers. The Free Software Foundation does.
Read the FAQ entry above once more. Then move on to http://www.gnu.org 
and learn just what GNU and the GPL really is. Then you should read the 
FAQ entry again and contemplate what it really means for a while.

Maybe you should stop being stubborn when it's obvious that you're wrong?

Checking localhost via nrpe doesn't really seem to make sense. You could 
just run the plugin manually, you know.

Hi Thomas,

thanks so much for this one and the previous email on monitoring Domino

Message-ID: <28712.53.122.192.14.1085671352.squirrel@webmail.ssorgflar.de>

Hi,

I can use the check_dhcp plugin as user nagios from command line.

[nagios at wl000339 libexec]$ ./check_dhcp -s 192.168.0.5 -r 192.168.0.55 -i
eth0
DHCP ok: Received 4 DHCPOFFER(s), 1 of 1 requested servers responded,
requested address (192.168.0.55) was offered, max lease time = 0 sec.

chech_dhcp file has the following permissions an is suid root:

-rwsr-x---    1 root     nagios      19501 Mai 27 16:01 check_dhcp

User nagios is in group nagios and nagios runs as user nagios.

uid=502(nagios) gid=502(nagios) groups=502(nagios),503(nagiocmd)

If I use check_dhcp in the services.cfg, I always get the following error
on the Service Detail webpage.

 Could not bind socket to interface 192.168..  Check your privileges...


I have no idea what the problem is, the permissions/ownership should be ok.

Any ideas?

Ralf

I understand it all.  And also the other FAQ entries which show the
meaning you ascribe to it is incorrect.  And also all the other pages
on the site which show that you are wrong.

Note that it does not say you can refuse to supply the source.  It says
that you can refuse to supply the source FOR FREE.  Think upon the
difference between the two.  Note also that it says "if someone pays
your fee."  It does not say "if you CHOOSE to make the source available
for a fee and somebody pays it."  Not making the source available is NOT
an option, as the other FAQ questions make clear.  The source MUST be
available if you distribute the code, or a modified version of it,
outside your own organization.  The only choice you have in the matter is
whether you charge a fee for the source or not. 

To pre-empt you attempting to misinterpret other bits of the FAQ, I'll
quote part of <URL: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html >: 

   The Free Software Definition 

[...] 

   Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy,
   distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely,
   it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software: 

   * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). 

   * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
   needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for
   this. 

[...] 

    A program is free software if users have all of these freedoms. 

[...] 

   In order for the freedoms to make changes, and to publish improved
   versions, to be meaningful, you must have access to the source code of
   the program. Therefore, accessibility of source code is a necessary
   condition for free software. 

[...] 

   In the GNU project, we use ``copyleft'' to protect these freedoms
   legally for everyone. 

Got it now?  The FSF/GNU/RMS philosophy of free software insists that
source code be available and the way this is enforced is through the GPL,
aka copyleft.  One of the purposes of the GPL is to ensure that source
code IS available. 

No, that's probably not enough for you.  So from the copyleft page at
<URL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/copyleft.html >: 

   Copyleft is a general method for making a program free software and
   requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free
   software as well. 

   The simplest way to make a program free is to put it in the public
   domain, uncopyrighted. This allows people to share the program and
   their improvements, if they are so minded. But it also allows
   uncooperative people to convert the program into proprietary software.
   They can make changes, many or few, and distribute the result as a
   proprietary product. People who receive the program in that modified
   form do not have the freedom that the original author gave them; the
   middleman has stripped it away. 

   In the GNU project, our aim is to give all users the freedom to
   redistribute and change GNU software. If middlemen could strip off
   the freedom, we might have many users, but those users would not have
   freedom. So instead of putting GNU software in the public domain, we
 ``copyleft'' it. Copyleft says that anyone who redistributes the
   software, with or without changes, must pass along the freedom to
   further copy and change it. Copyleft guarantees that every user has
   freedom. 

Do you still want to insist that people can refuse to make the source
code available?  Will I have to paste half the gnu website here before
you admit that you were totally, utterly WRONG on this point?  If you
take GPL code and modify it and redistribute the modified program outside
your own organization then that modified code is also covered by the GPL.
Source code MUST be available for ALL GPL code.

Sigh.  GNU was meant to be a re-implementation of Unix. It started with
various utilities and ended up extending them and creating new ones.  It
never did come up with the planned kernel and Linux, using many GNU
utilities, made Hurd development obsolete.  But the foundation stone in
all this, and perhaps GNU's most important "product" is the GNU Public
Licence. OK, technically the organization behind the GPL is the FSF, but
I wanted to avoid confusing people like you by introducing unnecessary
detail. 

Those who didn't know the full details would be confused if I
said FSF would act over a breach of the GNU Public Licence, which can
be found at www.gnu.org (which is the official FSF web site, so it
says).  Those who did know the full details would realize I'd made a
harmless simplification to avoid making the post any longer.  Unless they
had an axe to grind, like you.

And the FSF would act because RMS wanted them to.  Shall we take it
one level deeper and attribute the action to neurones firing in RMS's
skull?  As is typical with you, having found what you mistakenly
believed to be a major error in my post, you could not resist also going
after any trivial simplifications I made to keep the length of the post
down.  Your compulsion for comprehensive victory has, as usual, led to
your comprehensive defeat.  I expect your next move will either be more
foolishness or to claim to have plonked me again.

Incorrect.  Note that I said "effectively relinquishes the copyright." In
most countries, legal precedent has established that if a copyright holder
does not take action against infringements they are informed of then they
are deemed to have let the copyright effectively lapse.  Use it or lose
it.  Stamp on infringers immediately or lose the right to do so. 

This is why large media organizations respond so quickly and so heavily to
even minor infringements. If some kid puts an image of Mickey Mouse [tm]
on a website and Disney get to hear of it then their lawyers immediately
send the kid a very threatening letter and follow up with a law suit if
the letter is ignored.  They have to do this every time they are notified
of infringement or risk losing the right to take action against other
infringers.  The same goes for trademarks and patents.  Vacuum cleaners
are usually referred to as Hoovers because Hoover didn't crack down quickly
enough against that usage and thereby lost the right ever to do so. 

GNU/FSF/RMS/the neurones in RMS's skull WILL take action whenever they
are informed of infringement.  They HAVE to.  Otherwise when they do
try to take action against another infringer, the new infringer will say
"I know of a previous infringement of which they were informed and took
no action, therefore it was reasonable of me to infer that they were no
longer interested in taking action against infringers and I was free to
do as I wished."  Case over, decided for the defendent.

I think the question is whether you have to make the source available to
everyone, or just those to whom you distribute the binaries. i.e. Do you
have to acquire the binaries to get the source, or do can you get the
source without getting the binaries?

I personally think it could be interpreted either way, depending on how
much you pay your lawyer.

I understand it all.  And also the other FAQ entries which show the
meaning you ascribe to it is incorrect.  And also all the other pages
on the site which show that you are wrong.

Note that it does not say you can refuse to supply the source.  It says
that you can refuse to supply the source FOR FREE.  Think upon the
difference between the two.  Note also that it says "if someone pays
your fee."  It does not say "if you CHOOSE to make the source available
for a fee and somebody pays it."  Not making the source available is NOT
an option, as the other FAQ questions make clear.  The source MUST be
available if you distribute the code, or a modified version of it,
outside your own organization.  The only choice you have in the matter is
whether you charge a fee for the source or not. 

To pre-empt you attempting to misinterpret other bits of the FAQ, I'll
quote part of <URL: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html >: 

   The Free Software Definition 

[...] 

   Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy,
   distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely,

Message-ID: <40B645A0.8070105@aero.und.edu>


Hi,

I am currently trying to get a set of remote check commands work owrk 
correctly with nagios and nrpe. I was wondoering if there is a way to  
create a command like this:

define command{
    command_name   check_nrpe_load
    command_line   $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 
check_$HOSTADDRESS$_load
}

so that each host in the service would have a custom call rather than 
writing multiple check commands

the command I want from this would look like this:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H foo -c check_foo_load

any suggestions?


thanks,

Unless you read the licence and FAQ fully and understand the
implications... 

Section 2b, applying to the original program or a modified version thereof: 

   Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
   give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
   performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
   corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
   Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
   interchange; 

The FAQ defines "third party."  It is ANYONE, whether they bought the
code from you or not.  The FAQ explains why this is so.  You may have sold
the program (actually, requested a copying fee/installation fee/support
fee) to a second party who is fully entitled to sell/give that code
to a third party.  If the second party did not receive the source code
along with the program then the second party MUST include information
telling the third party they can request the source code from you. 

Theoretically, you might be able to argue in a court that you are not
required to give the source to a third party who doesn't have a copy of
the program.  But to even learn that the modified program exists and that
you are required to supply the source, the information must have come
from a second party who is perfectly entitled to give the third party a
copy of the program if you try to insist upon proof that the third party
has the  program.  So only a foolish company would even start to go down
that road because it's administrative overhead.  Once it is learned that
it is GPL code, the people you have sold it to can be persuaded to give
copies away.  Even if you charge an outrageous "copying fee" for the
source, enough third parties can club together so that one of them can
request it and then just give it away. 

The one hole that is open is that there is no requirement that you
inform the wider community that you have a modified version of a GPL
program and they can request the source from you.  But if you've
complied with the GPL then second parties will know that they are
allowed to give it away and some of them will.  Directly or indirectly,
a copy will eventually reach somebody who says "I want the source so I
can give this stuff away for free." 

If you haven't complied with the GPL and try to pass it off as purely
commercial, closed-source code, once you've sold your program you
run the risk of customers spotting that it is derived from GPL code (as
happened with a commercial system derived from Nagios recently).  And that
is when all your plans of selling GPL code as commercial, closed-source
code go down the tubes.  Then you have to release the source (if your
modifications are good enough that anyone wants them) and the copyright
holder can sue you in court to prevent you selling any more copies of
it because you broke the licence and forfeited all the rights it grants
you.  You can do it, but sooner or later you'll get caught out and lose
financially. 

RMS is one of the major-league programmers.  But perhaps his finest work
is the GPL.  So far the GPL has resisted all attacks and yet the logic
used to constrict it means that it is surprisingly small and the subtleties
of the way it resists attack are not always immediately understood.

For what it's worth, I'm having similar issues myself too. My setup is a bit
different so I'll post it below.  What happens here is that I have two
Nagios processes running on two different hosts, in different subnets. The 
one
doing the actual checks is obsessing over services and sends the results
through nsca to the main nagios host.  The main host seems to decide my
services results aren't fresh enough, then runs the check_command, which is
a dummy script returning WARNING (originally CRITICAL but it generated too
many notifications..), then, a couple seconds or minutes later, a new 
passive
check comes in, which brings the service(s) back to OK, then a couple 
minutes
later, it switches back to WARNING and so on..

Both hosts are running FreeBSD, one is on 4.9 (the main host) while the one
performing the actual checks is running 5.2.1.  All on i386.

Complete configs can be made available upon request (sent out-of-band to 
save
list bandwidth) if I didn't provide enough details..


I'm sure I'm either not using the software the way it's supposed to be, or
I have a configuration glitch, but I can't seem to find it.. I find it so 
odd
that the main nagios process would run the service_check only couple 
*seconds*
after it has got an "OK" passive check.  This type of service is set with
"active_checks_enabled 0" and "check_freshness 1", and I understood it would
only run the service check IF the results aren't fresh enough..

Anyone can shed some light on this?


Here are excerpts from my configs:

On the MAIN nagios machine (the one that receives the passive checks
and does notifications):

nagios.cfg: (not sure what is relevant here..)

ocsp_timeout=5
interval_length=60
execute_service_checks=1
accept_passive_service_checks=1
obsess_over_services=0
check_service_freshness=1
freshness_check_interval=600

and from service.cfg:

define service{
        name                            passive-service
        active_checks_enabled           0
        passive_checks_enabled          1
        parallelize_check               1
        obsess_over_service             1
        check_freshness                 1

        retain_nonstatus_information    1

        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   service-is-stale
        freshness_threshold             600

        register                        0
        }

define service{
        use                             passive-service
        service_description             PING

        host_name                       bloodymary.domain.logient.com
        contact_groups                  unix-admins
        }

define service{
        use                             passive-service
        service_description             DNS

        host_name                       bloodymary.domain.logient.com
        contact_groups                  unix-admins
        }

(I have a bunch of services with "use passive-service" all configured this 
way,
and they all produce the same behaviour..)


Here is the "service-is-stale" command:

define command{
        command_name    service-is-stale
        command_line    $USER1$/staleservice.sh
        }

And the staleservice.sh script:

#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo "WARNING: Service results are stale!"
exit 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the *other* machine, also running Nagios, here are the config excerpts:

ocsp_timeout=5
interval_length=60
execute_service_checks=1
accept_passive_service_checks=1
enable_notifications=0
enable_event_handlers=1

        register                        0
        }


and in services.cfg:

        check_command                   check_dig!dev.domain.logient.com!10
        }



My submit_check_result looks like this:
define command{
        command_name    submit_check_result
        command_line 
/usr/local/libexec/nagios/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$

        }

any the script itself contains:

I'm using printf instead of echo, otherwise I had problems with some
plugin_output's which didn't work because they contained "%" signs..

as you can see above, I'm using another nagios process instead of cron, but

Subject: Viewing service detail of just one service?
Message-ID: <200405272127.i4RLRhYR028289@mx1.cs.umb.edu>

Hi all:

I am trying to figure out how to get a service detail type
display for only one service. I like to keep an eye on the ntp
network, and I want a display of just the NTP service on all
the boxes that have the ntp service.

I can get a display of all the services on all the boxes that run NTP,
but that is more info than I want to sort through.

This is with nagios 1.1. I would be happy for even a manual URL that I
need to type in.

Do I have to wait for nagios 2.x and service groups?

Why are you doing freshness checking on master host? Is that of any use?
Please, correct me, if i'm wrong, but freshness checking is mainly for
active checking. Only idea when this is usable with passive is in 
passive+active checks, when one services are configured to accept
passive check and doing active checks over some time (to check if we
have not missed somthing). Again, maybe I overlooked something important, 
please correct me, if I'm terribly wrong.


Best regards

Jan Gregor

Subject: Nagios scheduling queue seems to be lagging behind real time
Message-ID: <418B502A3861E242AFDED453F3D5B89CB6678A@i2km99-ukbr.domain1.systemhost.net>

Hi All

I'm new to this list so try to be kind :)

OS. Solaris with current patches applied

Hardware : Sun E220R, 2 * 450MHz Ultra SPARCII cpu's, 1gb ram, 2 * 18gb SCSi drives

Monitored Hosts: 64

Monitored Services 2094

Monitoring interval 5 mins

Nagios version 1.0 ( Yes I know there is a new version but an upgrade is not an option for us just now :(  )

Problem:
nagios appears to be running fine it is just that when I look at my scheduling queue the tests at the top of the queue seem to be constantly 16 - 17 mins behind real time. Currently time on my box is 08:40.  The next entry to run should have been executed at 08:24.

I have read the section in the docs regarding scheduling and adjusted my max_concurrent_checks accordingly. My service_reaper_frequency is still set to 10

Can any one point out where I can make changes to bring this system back into line with real time?

Here is the output from nagios -s ../etc/nagios.cfg


        SERVICE SCHEDULING INFORMATION

It's customary for me and Paulie to argue and bicker about every point, 
and I amuse myself with it somewhat. Having it out in private wouldn't 
be the same at all.

Sorry, and hope you understand. ;-)

Not that I know of, no. Nagios mixes freely between POSIX, BSD, GNU and 
ANSI C-standards. Those are generally available on free unices, but not 
necessarily on the proprietary versions (at least not without heavy 
modifications).

You could try to install a GNU system on the can you're installing to, 
but It'll probably be well invested cash to buy a new server and install 
GNU/Linux or some flavour of BSD on it. They both run just fine on a 
multitude of architectures, although gcc is a slow and horrible hog on 
alphas.

I had the same problem and the solution was implement a distributed
monitoring. :o)

Maybe a Inter-check delay minor than 0.163 helps you. Exemple, 0.05.

Ok. So how about this. I have a copy of a GPL'd program. Ask me for the 
source. Assume I say no (which I would, but only for you, Paulie). Would 
the FSF lawyers have a case?

Or refuse altogether.
The only thing the GPL really says is that I can't remove any freedom 
for any other user. Otherwise everybody running Nagios would have to 
supply means to distribute the source for it. That sort of scenario 
would seriously impede the free software movement by the simple 
expedient of adding obligations to the freedom (thus making freedom less 
free).

Quit being such a child.

No. Sources must be available to all those I distribute the program in 
any form to. Noone else, actually, and I'm not allowed to charge extra 
for them receiving the sources (we've had lawyers beating this inside 
out, and that's what they concluded although anyone with a brain not the 
size of a peanut can see so much).

Bah. Silly, but I hereby announce that I will charge a fee of 100 000 
000 US dollars for downloading software from any of the various mirrors 
I have set up.

You left out two points here, and one addendum a bit further down;
--[ snip ]---
     * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor 
(freedom 2).
     * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements 
to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access 
to the source code is a precondition for this.
--[ snip ]---

--[ snip ]---
You should also have the freedom to make modifications and use them 
privately in your own work or play, without even mentioning that they 
exist. If you do publish your changes, you should not be required to 
notify anyone in particular, or in any particular way.
--[ snip ]---

Are you still insisting?

Which is why it's illegal to supply the program in any form without 
making sources available (since that would remove a freedom). It is 
still perfectly legal to never share the sources for anything.

Bah. Copyleft is a mockery of copyright. There are several licenses that

The ONLY purpose of the GPL is to ensure that no freedom is ever denied 
anybody who holds a copy of the program.

To everyone who hasn't received the program in any form; Yes.

As long as I don't supply binaries I don't have to supply the source.
I have plenty of modified GPL'd programs. Go at me with every lawyer you 
find and try and wring them from me. I'll be happy to take you all on in 
court, and you'd make a complete fool out of yourself.

An operating system is made up of utilities.

Wrong. It took me and many others several years to port the GNU utils to 
work with the linux kernel, and the hurd is still being developed.

Funny. You know just as well as I do that I'm the only one that reads 
your tiresome posts (just like you're the only one who reads mine). You 
should also know very well that I'm perfectly aware of the difference.

It was a major error. You were implying that people who download GPL'd 
software have to make it publicly available to anyone who asks (two 
posts later you admitted that it doesn't have to be for free and that 
would have made it a minor glitch).

So why don't you inform them that I'm sitting on a bunch of modified 
GPL'd programs which I have no intention of ever making publicly 
available, even if I was offered money to cover my expenses for doing so?
They'll laugh even harder than I am.

Jan, you are wrong.

Nagios supports a feature that does "freshness" checking on the results
of service checks. This feature is useful when you want to ensure that
passive checks are being received as frequently as you want. Although
freshness checking can be used in a number of situations, it is
primarily useful when attempting to configure a distributed monitoring
environment.

I restarted the nagios service at 08:50:00 so i believe that I have only 1 process running.

Cheers

Are you sure that the proper libs are installed?  gdlib is not the only lib
required.  for example if you were to compile gdlib manually some other
libs that it asks for is libjpeg, libpng, freetype, etc.  You may need to
compile gd from source and make sure you also install these other
libraries.  This may explain why it can't draw images because the libjpeg
or libpng libraries were not available when you built libgd.  Here is an
example of my ./configure when i manually compiled and installed gd-2.0.23
which at this point works perfectly and i get images from nagios.  This
tells you what libs will be included in the gdlib install.  If for example
you are using debian you can simply apt-get install these instead of
compiling them.

   Support for PNG library:          yes
   Support for JPEG library:         yes
   Support for Freetype 2.x library: yes
   Support for Xpm library:          yes
   Support for pthreads:             yes

Thank you.
Now statusmap .cgi is compiled.
But when I enter the Status Map, I get no image(there should be an image
there).

When I move the mouse over I get some statistics, but I can't see the
image.

Yeah, I've had that happen to me before and more than one main nagios process was running for some reason.

Subject: host down,  no service check-> no notification
Message-ID: <40157.53.122.192.14.1085754087.squirrel@webmail.ssorgflar.de>

Hi,

I have some hosts that I just monitor if they are up or down. For this I
use the check_ping command. I tested this by disabeling the switch port or
shutting down the interface of the host. The webinterface shows correct
"host down", but no notification by mail/winpopup was sent out.

In the documentation I found the description of "check_command
check-host-alive" in hosts.cfg, which I used before. If I understand this
right, no notification will be sent out, if this option is set and the
host is not reachabel.

If I disable "check_command check-host-alive", I get notified if the host
is not reachable (this what I want).

Are there any pitfalls in doing this that way. Is there a better (right
way) to get notified if a host with no service check goes down? These
hosts are dhcp servers behind a router, so I can't use the check_dhcp
plugin, I just want to see if they are alive.

Thanks, Ralf

Subject: nagios and postgres
Message-ID: <40B76109.1000608@ambra.ro>

I want to use postgresql databases with nagios.
So I recompile and create the database and the tables.
I started nagios service and the first record was inserted in the 
database(table programstatus).

But when I try to access statusmap.cgi I get: "*Error: Could not read 
host and service status information!*".

The message tells me and what the problem could be:

   1. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or
      status data errors.
   2. Always verify configuration options using the *-v* command-line
      option before starting or restarting Nagios!
   3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the
      same status data storage options (i.e. text file or database). If
      the main program is storing status data in a text file and the
      CGIs are trying to read status data from a database, you'll have
      problems.

I belive the problem is point 3..
But what is the configure option taht I must enable?
I compiled like this: "./configure --with-pgsql-xdata".

Thank you

Warning.  Andreas has pulled his usual trick of quoting out of context
to make it look like I said things having the opposite meaning to what I
actually said in order to score points.  This wouldn't matter, except that
he is also giving comepletely misleading and incorrect information about
the GPL in order to score further points. 

I would advise everyone to killfile both of us because I will not let
incorrect crap like that go uncorrected even though I am now certain that
Andreas is trolling (yet again).  Those who are interested (more likely
bored) can watch as I expose each and every one of his incorrect
statements about the GPL and each of his tricks to score points.

The way you have stated the problem, no.  I have many copies of GPL
programs.  I am not required to supply to source of them because they
are unmodified copies.  I am not even required to supply the source to
anyone I have given copies to, provided I tell those people how they
can get the sources. 

If you were distributing a version of a GPL program which you had
modified, then you are required to give the source.  That is what the
GPL says.  That is what all the accompanying documentation says.  Since
it's never been tested in court yet, I cannot say if the FSF would win
the case or not.  But then you deliberately misstated the problem because
you're trolling.

No, it does not say that, troll.

And one of the freedoms it explicitly mentions is the right to modify
the program you have been supplied.  In order to do that, you have to
have the source.  But it says all this and more on many different pages
of gnu.org.  Why is it you have so much difficulty comprehending what is
written in clear English?  Oh, I know, it's because you're trolling and
you've used ellision to try to fool people into thinking that this
thread wasn't a discussion about the requirement to supply source code
IF you distribute modified binaries outside your organization. 

> Otherwise everybody running Nagios would have to supply means to 
> distribute the source for it.

Nonsense.  As it clearly states, if you distribute GPL programs to
second parties you must either include the source or tell them how they
can get it.  If you supply a version of a GPL program which you have
modified THEN you are required to supply the modified source upon
request.  Ooops, I forgot.  You've been excising parts of the thread
where it says "if you distribute modified GPL binaries outside your
organization" and pretending it was all about modifying the code for
internal use.  Troll. 

> That sort of scenario would seriously impede the free software movement
> by the simple expedient of adding obligations to the freedom (thus
> making freedom less free).

There are already obligations.  The obligation not to remove any of
the freedoms when you redistribute (you must at least tell people how
to get the source).  That obligation still applies if you have distribute
a program that you have modified.  People must still have the freedom
to modify the program you have supplied, and that requires the source. 

That does not force any extra obligation upon you.  You can choose not
to modify a GPL program.  If you do modify it, you can choose not to
distribute it.  But if you do modify it and distribute it you are bound
by the GPL to supply source on request. 

Of course, that was a very weak straw man you set up there.  It serves
only to demonstrate that either you totally misunderstand the GPL or
that you are so desperate to try to score a point you will say things
that are almost certain to be refuted and make you look even more
foolish.  Try googling for the first rule of holes...  Oh, I forgot, you're
trolling again.

It's being childish to point out that the rest of the FAQ contradicts
your foolish claims?  It's being childish to point out that your
erroneous interpretation can only be reconciled with the FAQ questions
if one question is rewritten to omit the words "for free" at the end
of one question and by totally rewriting another question?  Is it being
childish to point out the games you play to score points when you were
obviously wrong in the first place?

You are either misinformed or a fool.  Ooops, that's exclusive-or, I
should have used inclusive-or since it is quite possible you are both.
Oh no, I forgot again - you're a troll.  Unfortunately, there may be a
few other people reading this who believe the incorrect crap you're
spouting about the GPL and they need to know just how wrong you are
for their own benefit. 

 From <URL: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html >: 

   Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy,
   distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely,
   it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software: 

[...] 

   The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your
   needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for
   this. 

That much you appear to understand since you admit you have to supply
source to those you've supplied modified code.  But then you forget
that because the modified code is itself GPL, the people who received
modified code from you are permitted to give that to others and to
tell them how to get the source directly from the original distributor. 

 From the GPL at <URL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/copyleft.html >: 

   You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
   Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
   Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 

   a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
   source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
   and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 

   b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years,
   to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of
   physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable
   copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
   terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
   software interchange; or, 

   c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
   distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
   for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
   object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
   Subsection b above.) 

See that?  The GPL itself says that if you distribute code that you
modified you MUST supply third parties with the source (for at least three
years after you stop distributing the modified code) upon request. 

Oops, that's a bit complicated for you to understand.  There are
several clauses and they involve conditional statments.  So from the
very same FAQ at <URL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html > that
you yourself quoted here: 

   "Valid for any third party" means that anyone who has the offer is
   entitled to take you up on it. 

   If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source
   code, the GPL says you must provide a written offer to distribute the
   source code later. When users non-commercially redistribute the
   binaries they received from you, they must pass along a copy of this
   written offer. This means that people who did not get the binaries
   directly from you can still receive copies of the source code, along
   with the written offer. 

   The reason we require the offer to be valid for any third party is so
   that people who receive the binaries indirectly in that way can order
   the source code from you. 

I know this is going to be a hard thing for you to grasp, but that
final paragraph is the key.  If you sell unmodified binaries you must
provide the source to any third party upon request.  The same applies
if you sell or give away modified binaries.  Third parties may receive
copies of those binarys and the GPL guarantees them the right to the
source so that they can play with or modify your modified code.  You
can bundle the source with the binaries or you can include information
telling people how to request the source from you and that offer has
to apply to third parties who receive copies of the binaries. 

> and I'm not allowed to charge extra for them receiving the sources

You're allowed to charge an outrageous copying and distribution fee
for the sources.  But you cannot prevent anyone prepared to pay that
fee from then giving copies away. 

> (we've had lawyers beating this inside out, and that's what they
> concluded

You need better lawyers.  Try getting them to fumigate their brains
with a Carbolic Smoke Ball (if you show tham the sentence and they
understand the joke then perhaps they're not as bad as they seem to
be). 

>>  The only choice you have in the matter is
>> whether you charge a fee for the source or not.
> 
> Bah. Silly, but I hereby announce that I will charge a fee of 100 000 000 
> US dollars for downloading software from any of the various mirrors I have

The GPL does not explicitly state that the copying fee be reasonable.  A
court however, might well decide that a copying fee of that size is an
attempt to evade the terms of the licence.  Drop the fee enough that a
court would consider it merely excessive rather than outrageous and
enough people could club together to raise the money for one copy,
which they then give away. 

> You left out two points here, and one addendum a bit further down;

I did, because the part I quoted already made it clear you were
completely and utterly wrong that it was unnecessary to quote any
further parts that also proved how wrong you were.  But you're a troll
who is feeding people total crap about the GPL, so let's see what you
have to say... 

> --[ snip ]---
>     * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor 
> (freedom 2).

Irrelevant to the point. 

>     * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to 
> the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to 
> the source code is a precondition for this.

It just proves, yet again, how wrong you are.  You have the freedom to
modify and release the modified binaries.  To be able to do so you must
have access to the source.  Whether you sell or give away your modified
binaries, the people who receive them have the SAME right to your source.
And that applies to any third parties who receive binaries for which
you control the source.

You are not required to tell the world about your changes.  However,
you ARE required to tell those you distribute them to that the binaries
you supply are modified versions of existing GPL code and you ARE
required to tell them how they may obtain the source from you if
it was not bundled with the binaries. 

> Are you still insisting?

Oh yes indeed.  You have brightened up a dull Friday afternoon.  It
is so amusing trying to see you prove you are right by quoting things
which prove you are wrong.  It is also educational for those who, like
you, have a deeply flawed understanding of the GPL (they probably got
their misunderstanding by believing what you say).

You are Resident George W Bush and I claim my free five oil wars.  Could
you translate that from the original gibberish into English?  Oh I see,
it's part of your attempt to make people think this whole discussion
wasn't about distributing modified GPL binaries outside your organization.
Troll. 

BTW, the GPL combines copyright and contract law, both of which are civil
torts, not criminal offences.  The terms "legal" and "illegal" do not
apply to whatever it was you were trying to say.  Oh, if your lawyers
are bright enough, they'll know that copyright can become a criminal
issue in some countries if the scale of copying is large enough AND
the financial losses are great enough - it is hard to conceive of breach
of GPL copyright ever clearing that hurdle. 

>> Got it now?  The FSF/GNU/RMS philosophy of free software insists that

> 
> if any form of the program is available

Your favourite trick!  Quoting out of context to create a straw man.
After carefully deleting all the places I said "if you distribute
modified GPL code outside your organization" and leaving only the
following words where I said "THEN you must make the source available
upon request" you can then try to win your point.  However, anybody
with a good enough memory or capable of threading can see that I DID
make statements of the form "If you distribute modified GPL code outside
of your organization then you must make the source available" and have
carefully ellided them so it appears that all I said was "you must make
the source available."  Troll. 

[...] 

>> Do you still want to insist that people can refuse to make the source

> To everyone who hasn't received the program in any form; Yes.

But this discussion was about people who HAVE received the modified
program and the obligation to supply source upon request to third
parties who received the modified binaries.

Again you use selective cutting to make it look as though I wasn't
talking of the distribution of modified binaries outside your
organization.

You tripped up there.  You left in a bit where it's clear I was talking
about the distribution of modified binaries outside your organization.
Bwahahahaha.

And how are you going to prove that I don't have a copy which was passed
to me through a chain of dozens of others?

And a kerne, as you yourself mentioned.  Troll.

Hurd may still be being developed, but the development effort is
obsolete.  It might happen, but the chances are it will never catch up
to what the Linux kernel can do at any given time.  It might catch up,
but will anybody want it when there are the *BSD variants as well?

Nonsense.  It was always clear this discussion was about people who
receive modified GPL binaries and their right to the source.  That
was made clear several times in each of my posts.  Troll.

If ever you distribute the binaries outside your organization, which is
what this discussion was about, and I get to hear of it, I most certainly
will. :) 

I would have denounced your dishonest quoting out of context as being
no better than the tricks used by the morons in alt.flame.  However, your
misleading statements about the GPL in the middle of a thread where
people are seeking clarification as to what obligations they have if
they distribute modified versions of GPL code outside their organization
means you are far worse than the morons in alt.flame.

Greetings folks,

First time posting to the list, just joined, sorry if I'm rude...
haven't watched the list much ;)

I'm looking to set Nagios up using MySQL.  The documentation (or was it
whatsnew.html) says something about table definitions in the
contrib/database directory.  I can't find this directory with the
distribution.  Heck I can't find the directory in CVS either.

Where can I get the database schemas?  I would really, really like to
switch over to using MySQL for stuff.

Sorry if it's a FAQ, I just can't find them anywhere and I've been
searching for some time now.

I've just grabbed the "nagios-1-x-bugfixes (1.x)" release from
http://www.nagios.org/cvs.php and they're still in there...

[omeganon at drunkard database]$ pwd; ls -l
/home/omeganon/nagios-1-x-cvs/contrib/database

IFF you're looking for database support in 2.0(alpha), you're not going
to find it. Database support is being dropped from the core distribution
in favor of external modules that will emulate the current behavior (and
which haven't been written yet).

Actually, the idea is that when active_checks are disabled, the 
check_command is never run as long as the passive checks come in frequently 
enough.  According to the docs (the part about distributed monitoring 
and/or freshness checking), IF the results are not fresh enough, then the 
check_command will be executed.  In a failover/redundancy situation, that 
would be ideal as you main machine does not usually perform the tests but 
will if the results are getting stale.

In my situation though, the main machine *cannot* access the services that 
the second host is monitoring.  What is configured instead, is a 
check_command that will always return an error (right now, I return WARNING 
but I would like it to be "CRITICAL") stating that the results are stale. 
This would indicate that the nagios process on the 2nd machine is no longer 
sending passive checks OR that the checks somehow don't make it through to 
the main machine.  In any case, I would get a notification and would start 
investigating.

This is exactly what I am trying to achieve.  Now, my problem is the 
following:  the second nagios process is doing active checks, the 
service(s) checked never or rarely go down (eg: fping on an otherwise 
working machine).  I can see on the MAIN host that the passive checks are 
being received AND processed by nagios yet it decides for some reason that 
the results are not fresh and run the check_command defined (which returns 
WARNING).

Net result is, according to the second machine, my services are up 100% of 
the time.  According to the MAIN machine, those services go OK - WARNING - 
OK - WARNING - OK - WARNING every couple of minutes..

Would anyone know which timeout or setting to tweak so that it HAS to wait 
for much much longer without having received the passive checks before it 
actually decides to take matter in its own hands and run the check_command 
defined?  (Please see my previous post to see my configuration details, 
services definitions, etc).

Ahh... now I didn't know that I should pull that package down.  I
downloaded the one off of the Downloads link which has the package
pointed to by SourceForge as the most recent (2-2-2004 v1.2) which is
the version that Dag Wieers rolled the RPMs that I'm using with *sigh*.

Thanks!

Message-ID: <DCB9B7AA2CAB7F418919D7B59EE45BAF32A572@mail-sc-6-bk.nvidia.com>

Sorry if this has been asked before, but my searches didn't turn up
anything.  Just hoping somebody can help me not have to reinvent the
wheel...

I need a plugin that will ssh and/or telnet to a Unix (Linux and
Solaris) host and performn an actual login.  Ie, it needs to log in with
an actual username and password and confirm that everything works okay.
This would confirm that logins, NIS, automounter, etc. are all working.

I'm having issues where machines will freeze up in various funky states,
but still respond to pings just fine.  Big Brother's telnet and ftp
checks detect most of these problems, but I'm trying really hard to
replace that with Nagios.

The only way I can think to do this is with an Expect script of some
sort.  Has anyone already written such a thing, or know of a better way
to solve this problem?  Thanks!

BTW...just using nrpe or check_by_ssh to, say confirm that ypbind is
running, won't please my management...they want something that actually
simulates what the user would do.  I'm not sure if that makes sense or
not, but it's my situation.

There is a utility with expect called 'autoexpect' which will watch you do
a login and record the session so you don't have to do the coding from
scratch.  You can tweak the autolearned script if necessary after you see
how expect works.  My distro doesn't include the autoexpect script and if
yours doesn't either just download expect and get it.  Here is the manpage
for autoexpect.  http://expect.nist.gov/example/autoexpect.man.html

Hi, 

This is the follow up to my first post.

I summary, the problem went away after changing the
service_check_timeout and host_check_timeout parameters of the main
configuration file to a smaller value (in our case, 5 seconds). Those
values were originally set to 60 seconds. Without reading the source
code in detail, I can only provide a guess to the cause of the problem: 

Imagine a situation like this (using the same testing network in my
first post and keep the default timeout values):


Nagios--------Bridge------Parent Switch--------Child switch1
					|
					|
				  Child Switch2--------Child switch3


First, disconnect the link between "bridge" and "parent switch".
Second, Nagios reports and only reports "parent switch down". 

After a few minutes, assuming the first event in the following list
happened at time T1,
 
	T1: A check_host request to "child switch1" sent out by nagios.
	T1+35sec: Connection between ?Bridge? and ?Parent Switch?
restored.
	T1+45sec: A check_host request to "parent switch" was sent by
nagios and returned with "OK" status. Nagios in turn clears the "parent
switch" down event.
	T1+60sec: The check_host request to "child switch1" finally
timed out. Now, since "child-switch1"'s parent device is "UP", nagios in
turn considers "child-				switch1" as down and
sends out alert based on that.
	T1+240sec (assuming the service check interval is set to 3
mins): A check_host request to "child switch1" was sent by nagios and
returned with "OK" status. 			Nagios in turn clears
the "child switch1" down event.

If my theory above is right, reducing the timeout value REDUCES but does
not eliminate the chance for the "recovery flapping" problem. 

So, what do you think?

Thanks.

Ling

It was my finding (and I have been wrong before) that the children
"Services" won't report being down but the children "Hosts" will. That
is why we don't do any notifications on just Hosts at all. We are
only?using notifications for services on the various hosts. We make sure
we have at least one Service per host to validate that the host itself
is working. We use the same check_ping? that the Host Check does but we
do it as a service so when a blocking host goes down we don't get any
children notifications.
?
I could be wrong and if someone knows of a better way without entering
every single host in the dependencies.cfg that would be great to hear
about it.

Subject: [Nagios-users] False positives after the Parent host recovered
Hi,

I hope to get your input on a frustrating problem.  Right after a
?parent? host goes down and recovers, I receive a burst of notifications
indicating that downstream ?children? have gone down & recovered, even
though that?s not the case.  Although this behavior doesn?t happen every
time a ?parent? node goes down, my impression is that the odds are
greater than 30%. 

For example, suppose this my network:


Nagios--------Bridge------Parent Switch--------Child switch1
					|
					|
				  Child Switch2--------Child switch3

The series of events go like this:

1. Disconnect link between "Bridge" and "parent switch". 
2. Nagios reports and only reports "parent switch" down. (good) 
3. Re-connect link between "Bridge" and "parent switch". 
4. Nagios reports "parent switch" recovered. (very good)
5. Nagios reports "child switch1" and "child switch2" down right after
"parent switch" recovered. (what the?) 
6. Nagios reports "child switch1" and "child switch2" recovered shortly.
(????????)


Now, My nagios host configuration for the testing network looks like
this:

define host{
        name                                            generic-Bridge

So, any idea on this?

Thanks.

You could also try the Perl modules

Net::Telnet

or

Expect.

>From the POD of Net::Telnet

'
Here's an example that prints who's logged-on to the remote host sparky.  
In addition to a username and password, you must also know the user's
shell prompt, which for this example is bash$

           use Net::Telnet ();
           $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                                 Prompt => '/bash\$ $/');
           $t->open("sparky");
           $t->login($username, $passwd);
           @lines = $t->cmd("/usr/bin/who");
           print @lines;
'

The advantages of these methods over TCL/Expect is that run time errors
are caught instead of continuing to propogate garbage. Also in more
elabourate applications the TCL quoting of RegExp is incomprehensible
(add another \ there pal; no, one more). 

Expect/autoexpect is very fast to get going but hard to live with (ie
doesn't do what you expect when there's a problem).

Yours sincerely.

Did you install the GD graphics library?   Looks like it could be missing.

Hi,

I'm running nagios-stat in a SuSE server monitoring AIX systems too. I
dont have any problem, but I running the command:

./nagios-stat -w 80 -c 95 disk 10.0.1.23

As you can see, the only difference with your command is the arguments for
-w and -c, that means WARNING and CRITICAL percent for the disk space. Try
this, can works.

Regards,

j.

Hi,

what servics are monitoring? Nagios can monitoring any servics that give
the answer by an specific port... if you need to monitoirng performance
like disk space, memrory, CPU load, etc you need to install an client in
the Win Machine...

regards,
j.

Hi,
if you read the readme.htm included in the ns_client.tgz file, you can
found this information:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Services States

Syntax: check_nt -H <hostname> -p <port> -v SERVICESTATE [-d SHOWALL] -l
<service 1>[,<service 2>,<service 3>,...]

    * <service> should be the real name of the service, not the displayed
name. You can find this information when going to the registry for the
corresponding service :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

or use the free utility: 'Service Manager NT' :
http://www-rnks.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/~fsch/english/nttols.htm

    * -d SHOWALL can be specified if you want to see all tested services
including started ones.

You can specify serveral services in one request. No blank should appear
in the list !

If not all services are running, you get the faulty one(s) and a critical
state.

Example:
./check_nt -H 192.168.1.1 -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l
LanmanServer,Schedule

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, as you can see, first you have to check if the service is in ithe
list, and the must be without blank spaces...

chers,

j.

I'm fed up with this discussion, and it's leading nowhere.

Those who want to know what the GPL says about things can have a look at 
http://www.gnu.org.

It has a lot to say about freedom, but very little about obligations.

Well, the short way would be to use ssh host keys, that means, keys
without a passphrase. So check_by_ssh can log into an existing account,
and perform some more checks there...

Subject: Possible problem with notifications in Nagios 1.2
Message-ID: <20040531184324.GB5661@raschke.net>

I have been trying to set up Nagios 1.2 to replace Big Brother, but I
have found that Nagios only sends out notifications sporadically; even
though the web interface may indicate a host as being down, no
notifications are sent.

The Nagios server is running on Solaris 9, and I have occasionally
gotten it to send notifications, so the notification commands do
appear to be set up properly, it's just that the commands aren't even
being run when a host/service goes down.

I have seen other reports of this issue on the squareBOX forums; see
http://makeashorterlink.com/?L39D12078 for more examples of this
issue.  I noticed in the changelog for 1.2 that the notification logic
was changed.  Is it possible that that was where the bug came from?

Kurt,

Notifications are highly configurable and your specific configuration may
lead to being notified "sporadically."  Specifically, Nagios will only
send out notifications on a hard state change, rather than a soft state
change.  For more information on this distinction, and how to configure
notifications properly for your environment, please see the following:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/statetypes.html

Good luck in your migration.

Thank you for your assistance. Even though I though I had checked my
configuration files several times in an effort to find the problem, I
found a few things which, after re-reading the documentation, turned
out to be the problem, and notifications are now working well.  So,
thanks for your advice.

-Kurt

Subject: Upgrading from nagios 1.0 to 1.2

Hi all.

I'm running nagios 1.0 on RedHat 7.2 and it works well. I'm panning to
upgrade to nagios 1.2, using s=the same machine (RH 7.2).

Is there some recommendation, or tutorial? If I install using:

# tar -zxvf ...
# make all ...
# make install ...

my new nagios (1.2) will replace the old one and run automatically?

Regards

wpj
