Message-ID: Running 2.0b2 and loving it. But when I looked at my service_perfdata_file today it was less than complete. Relevent configs (mostly defaults): service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata service_perfdata_file=/tmp/service-perfdata service_perfdata_file_template=[SERVICEPERFDATA]\t$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME$\t$SERVICELATENCY$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$ service_perfdata_file_mode=a service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=0 service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata-file Instead of actually using a perf proc command from within Nagios, I simply run a 'tail -f' on the output file and parse it myself. I assume that "file_processing_interval=0" means Nagios will just leave my file alone... With the file_mode set to "a" I expected that by now I'd find a huge file filled with our perf data beginning on the day I started Nagios, but instead the file starts this morning around 11am. I know for a fact that data has been flowing into the file all along (a few weeks) because my RRDs have been getting properly populated. I was hoping to be able to recreate my RRDs with new RRA sets in them using the perf data but since it's gone I can't. Any clue what happened? Did Nagios somehow rotate/truncate my file without my knowledge or permission? Is there a facility in Nagios to rotate this along with the main Nagios log file?

You can check 16711696 instead of 16 until A proper patch for the problem has been found. this is a 16711680 offset from the number that you are looking for. Quote form Paul>>" I have noticed that the checks that aren't working correctly either have spaces in the source name or under 3 digit ID's. Is this just coincidence?? " This is coincidence, There are very few Event Sources that have space in the source name. Your above example With Norton Antivirus was able to recognize all events from Norton Antivirus but the Event ID offset was the issue. NOTE: Ignore Whitespace for Regular Expressions. This is only for the message filter of the event Log check (parameters between event ID and Source ID) Whitespace is ignored during the regular expression so to have whitespace as part of your expression it needs to be escaped thus: For all entries in the last hour that contain "SCSI INTERFACE ERROR" or "CHECK CONDITION" use something like; "any,any,60,0,2,SCSI\ INTERFACE\ ERROR,CHECK\ CONDITION,0" Technical Detail of problem with Norton Antivirus: Doing an event log check for Norton Antivirus the EventLog check is returning the wrong result. I still need more diagnostics but my observation are: NC_Net uses type int to check the Event_ID. The Event ID is also type int. on most cases the event ID works fine. When checking Norton Antivirus somehow the EventID is offset by 16711680 or in hex 00FF0000h I am not sure what is causing this mismatch to occur, since looking through the code all the types should be int32 are int32. I am suspecting that their may be a bug somewhere in the manner that Dot net handles either the Event entry Objects or maybe I am overlooking something? When I have a proper solution to this issue it will be documented in the version section of the read me.

Message-ID: <1112340963.3397.7.camel@bp5575> Dear All, yesterday i installed my nagios on fedora core 3, as of version i installed nagios-2.0b2.tar.gz and nagios-plugins-1.4.tar.gz, the nagios server is my m/c 10.10.1.1 starting with my PROBLEM ------------------------ what i want is 1) I want to check wether DHCP services is running on my dhcp server or not?? i tried to check manually as [bimal at bimal bimal]# cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec [bimal at bimal bimal]# ./check_dhcp -v -s 10.10.2.3 -i eth0 but it seems that it is trying to assign an IP address to my machine which already has static IP(10.10.1.1)!! i.e. i am concerned about the services running on the machines wether it is available or not?? ending with a TIP ----------------- as i have learnet it hard way!!(may be because i am still a duffer) but most of you will be knowing, so this is for those who know little or are new to nagios(like me!!) if your plugin is not working or you want to know about whether it is working or not, execute the commands(plugins) manually e.g. first check out all the options/parameters available as [bimal at bimal bimal]# cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec [bimal at bimal bimal]# ./check_dhcp -h now test the plugin with the parameter and values, here i am taking an example of check_ldap plugin. for this my ldap server is 10.10.2.4 and my nagios is 10.10.1.1 [bimal at bimal bimal]#./check_ldap -H 10.10.2.4 -b dc=bimalpandit,dc=com LDAP OK - 0.068 seconds response time|time=0.067793s;;;0.000000 now you can define your own command in /usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg as i did # 'check_ldap_bimal' command definition define command{ command_name check_ldap_bimal command_line $USER1$/check_ldap -H 10.10.2.4 -b dc=bimalpandit,dc=com } and in /usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg use check_command check_ldap_bimal that's all!! now, could anyone point me in the right direction about my issue, i will be thankfull for any hints. regards, Bimal Pandit ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Demarc: A global provider of Threat Management Solutions.

It basically means that the ping program receives multiple ICMP_ECHO_REPLY packets to a single ICMP_ECHO_REQUEST, which goes against the standard (rfc 792, I believe).

But in this case now i have 84 services on as many clients so what is the max. time i can expect for a client to be checked is it one minute or Nagios finishes with one and then proceeds with the next one. I think it must be opening multiple threads say in one minute(in my case now)for multiple hosts and hence every host can get checked in one minute... Correct me if i am wrong. Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to use any of the existing plugins to do the following: 1. Port scan a host 2. Compare open ports to a list of "expected" ports passed via the commandline 3. Alert if any ports other than the "expected" ports are open. My goal here is to be able to monitor systems for rogue ports opening up, as an indication that the system may have been compromised. It seems like it would be fairly trivial to do a local check on each system by parsing the output of netstat, but the reliability of that method is predicated on the trustworthiness of the netstat binary which is an assumption I'm not willing to make when I'm looking to sniff out intrustions. Therefore it seems best to try to do the detection from another system. Looking at the check_nmap plugin it seems like it is only able to check that certain ports *are* open, whereas I'm looking to do the opposite. Any suggestions/pointers are greatly appreciated.

It basically means that the ping program receives multiple ICMP_ECHO_REPLY packets to a single ICMP_ECHO_REQUEST, which goes against the standard (rfc 792, I believe).

The documentation has the command like this: CHANGE_SVC_CHECK_COMMAND:command_name But how does it know which host and service to apply this too? Thinking that this was just a documentation oversight... I've tried: CHANGE_SVC_CHECK_COMMAND;;; too make it match what the other external commands look like... the command shows up in the event log, but no change happens in the actual check. On a site note... Adding a hostname to CHANGE_HOST_CHECK_COMMAND seems to work ok, so I'm wondering if there is something wrong with this command. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

This plugin runs the standard ping program, right? If you ping the same host with two ping commands at the same time, both will report duplicate packets, because they can't distinguish between each others' pings. So this problem may just be caused by someone or something pinging from the nagios server to the remote host at the same time as Nagios does its checks.

I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to use any of the existing plugins to do the following: 1. Port scan a host 2. Compare open ports to a list of "expected" ports passed via the commandline 3. Alert if any ports other than the "expected" ports are open. My goal here is to be able to monitor systems for rogue ports opening up, as an indication that the system may have been compromised. It seems like it would be fairly trivial to do a local check on each system by parsing the output of netstat, but the reliability of that method is predicated on the trustworthiness of the netstat binary which is an assumption I'm not willing to make when I'm looking to sniff out intrustions. Therefore it seems best to try to do the detection from another system. Looking at the check_nmap plugin it seems like it is only able to check that certain ports *are* open, whereas I'm looking to do the opposite. Any suggestions/pointers are greatly appreciated.

Alerts don't seem to follow standard nagios 'alerting' logic I.E. it doesn't seem to me that the alerts know when to play an when not to play unlike the rest of the 'alerting' system, we have a few servers which we only care about alerts during work hours, we have a few services which we care about but don't need to be e-mailed about.. Sound alerts don't seem to be smart enough to know when to play and when not to play of course this is difficult to tell given that the "alert every 2 mins" pollutes my ability to test properly. has anyone gotten sound alerts to work effectively? I read a thread about a month or two ago about it, but it didn't seem like there was a good solution to this matter.

So I downloaded nagios-2.0b2.tar.gz and nagios-plugins-1.4.tar.gz and installed it on a suse linux 9.1 machine. After checking the Manual and configuring everything, my first services (HTTP, SMTP and PING check) worked correctly and checked three servers. I installed the plugin ntray_1.0 to be warned when something ain't OK and everything seemed to be right. But there are some little (and bigger) problems. 1. Problem When I'm looking on the Web-Interface and want to check the link 3-D Status Map I got a Download-Prompt where I can download the file statuswrl.cgi. Is this normal? I don't think so :-) 2. Problem Several Links (Status Map, Trends, Alert Histogram) have no target (the CGI-Files not exists). Is it possible to compile them again or download them? Where can I get them. 3. Problem I searched everything, I read in the manual for hours, checked google, the nagios-homepage but I never found a Tutorial how I could enable the email notification, am I just blind or is there really nothing about it? The email should be send (when it's configured) over the internal mail server from our company and go to several contacts. That's the most important thing I'm working on. I hope you can read everything and that my english ain't so bad.

Well, that's how things are. You can't check for the dhcp server without requesting an IP. In the servers log files, you should see that the IP is not ACKed, though, so the dhcp server knows that it's not in use. > i.e. i am concerned about the services running on the machines wether it > is available or not??

The ICMP header contains 16 bits for id purposes. ping programs tag this with the lower 16 bits of their pid. Only if the kernel sports a 32bit pid_t (FreeBSD 5.x + some others) AND it also randomizes pids (stupid thing to do, really) OR more than 65536 processes are running, of which two are PING processes targeting the same host. There are four scenarios that can cause this to happen for real. 1) The PING program is broken. Considering PING is a very simple program that isn't very likely. 2) The IP-stack on the "bouncing" end is broken. This is even less likely. 3) Someone is doing a random-replay attack in the network for black-hat auditing purposes. This isn't very likely either, as icmp is a very un-interesting protocol to do random-replay attacks on. 4) ICMP_ECHO_REQUEST's are being sent to a broadcast address (this is very likely to be the case). Common broadcast addresses end in 255, 191, 127, 15. They always end in something which is exactly 2^x - 1, where x is always between 2 and 30 in IPv4 networks. > So this problem may just be caused by someone or something pinging from > the nagios server to the remote host at the same time as Nagios does its > checks. > Read /usr/include/netinet/ip_icmp.h or rfc 792 for details. > Cheers, Chris. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

At the moment, I'm still playing with Nagios 2.0b2 while working on migrating my monitoring stuff from a really old server to a moderately old one :-) One thing I notice: Whenever Nagios is running, the system seems to leak memory. No nagios -> no problem. Nagios running -> Memory use rises and rises and rises... until I (or the kernel oom killer) kill Nagios. Then it stays on the (too high) level. In the mailing list, I found this reported as a known bug concerning embedded perl, and in December Andreas wrote that one ugly leak was fixed...should be in b2, shouldn't it? Now, I'm wondering if this is a new bug, or a known issue - I couldn't find anything in the documentation or release notes... on the other hand, this should be obvious to others. My configuration: Linux Kernel 2.6.8-24.13-default (SuSE 9.2), nagios 2.0b2 just as downloaded, compiled without (to my knowledge...) perl support. Everything else works as expected. Unfortunately, I can't determine how the memory gets "eaten" - ps doesn't tell me about any processes with huge RSSes. In fact, I can't be sure that Nagios itself leaks that memory, but it happens if and only when Nagios is running. I tried a configuration with 22 Hosts/22 Services, where the host checks use check_icmp and the services are mostly check_dummy and three check_icmps. Check interval is 1 Minute during testing, 20 checks run in parallel, and ~200MB "disappear" in about 2 hours (without any notifications sent). Any hints, clues, slutions, me toos?

You're not running nagios as root, are you? That would probably be a bad idea. If not, it's highly unlikely that the nagios user can access _anything_ under /root. If it can, that's bad as well. Generate a key as the nagios user, add it to authorized_keys for the user you want to be on the remote machine, try the command from your nagios machine as the nagios user to accept the host identification (only needed once) and to verify that the command runs as you expect. > Also what is the difference between running it through nagios and running > it through command > line as root. Nagios user != root user. Root has global permissions to everything on the file system, the nagios user doesn't (or shouldn't). -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Then, you've got a setting which determines how many checks are done in parallel. In the example in the manual, it is even explained how nagios determines which checks to execute in parallel. As a result of how a unixlike system works, nagios forks the actual check processes. The results are collected in a sort of result buffer and "taken" from there with the service-reaper frequency. How this all works together is explained in some detail in the manual. You might notice that only one process des the actual messages. Why this is the case? I can guess it by reading the manual, especially the sections about why host checks are always serialized and nothing runs in parallel while nagios determines the host states. > Also i wanted to know whether this behaviour of Nagios shall not add to > too much of network traffic if i am going to increase the no. of > hosts/services and also keeping the time interval to one minute. The amount of network traffic is a direct result of the kind and number of checks you do. Over time, it doesn't matter how many checks are run in parallel - the sum of the checks remains the same over time.

Problem: The files (statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi, histogram.cgi) don't exists, that's the problem. All other CGI's can be opened via Web. Am I right when I think that all Binarys are stored in the folder /etc ? I think this because every opened cgi file is stored there. 3. Problem: Shure, everything is configured, I have configured that in case of an error the command call_admin should be used, but what must stand in the command_line ? Please help me, when I produce an error I see that the command is opened but I don't know how to say that he should send an email.

The Firewalls does not reply on ICMP (which makes check-host-alive useless). Our current check implementation is to ensure that the SSH daemon runs on the Firewalls. When the SSH daemon does not respond for whatever reason, check-host-alive kicks in and that results in a Host down alert (since the Firewalls does not respond on ICMP). How can I force Nagios to only rely on the SSH service check? Any thoughts or ideas are deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Host checking has been commented out since I rely in the ping check. Problem: If the ping check initially succeeds the other checks are then done. However if the ping check then fails the other checks are displayed in their last hard state. I would like the dependent checks to be displayed as "Pending" since the last check could have been a long time in the past. Is there any external command I can run to set selected service scheck to a "Pending" state.

I doubt NagMIN works with Nagios 2.0. We use it with 1.2, and it seems unlikely to be forward-compatible. -- Jason Byrns System Administrator, MicroLnk http://www.MicroLnk.com/ 402-328-8600 ext. 653 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

If you ping the > same host with two ping commands at the same time, both will report > duplicate packets, because they can't distinguish between each others' pings. > Ofcourse they can distinguish between their own and other programs requests. The ICMP header contains 16 bits for id purposes. ping programs tag this with the lower 16 bits of their pid. Only if the kernel sports a 32bit pid_t (FreeBSD 5.x + some others) AND it also randomizes pids (stupid thing to do, really) OR more than 65536 processes are running, of which two are PING processes targeting the same host. There are four scenarios that can cause this to happen for real. 1) The PING program is broken. Considering PING is a very simple program that isn't very likely. 2) The IP-stack on the "bouncing" end is broken. This is even less likely. 3) Someone is doing a random-replay attack in the network for black-hat auditing purposes. This isn't very likely either, as icmp is a very un-interesting protocol to do random-replay attacks on. 4) ICMP_ECHO_REQUEST's are being sent to a broadcast address (this is very likely to be the case). Common broadcast addresses end in 255, 191, 127, 15. They always end in something which is exactly 2^x - 1, where x is always between 2 and 30 in IPv4 networks. > So this problem may just be caused by someone or something pinging > from the nagios server to the remote host at the same time as Nagios > does its checks. > Read /usr/include/netinet/ip_icmp.h or rfc 792 for details. > Cheers, Chris. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

How about 'UNKNOWN' instead of 'Pending'. Unknown can be done, and has a similar meaning. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

So you would set it up almost like an event handler... and upon a Hard state it would execute this SSH which would pay wav-file-X on a computer in our noc. Next question then do event handlers respect acknowledgment of problems and/or maintenance I.E. once acknowledged or if in Maintenance will the event handler know not to keep executing? so that we don't get into a situation where something is acknowledge but the "Siren" keeps going off. --Chris ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

No, I wouldn't do it as an event handler. I'd do it as a contact. I'd go into misccommands.cfg, create a command called notify-by-email-and-sound, then I'd create a shell script on the system that did the normal email notification and also played the sound. Then I'd change my contact entry to use that as the notification_command. In other words, I would use the existing notification setup in nagios to play the sound. Then it can have different sounds for acknowledgments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

The web intface showes that the system is down, satus informaion for the service shows "/bin/ping 140.211.60.39 -n -c 5 ", and I can see nowhere in the logs where it tried to email me. The service has w,u,c,r in notification_options and hosts.cfg has d,u,r in the notification_options. Any suggestions.

The last block contains addresses, but not code lines. Is that normal? I assume that's kernel space, but I'm not sure about anything - valgrinds output is quite crypic to me.

Removed from that pool is memory hogged by graphic drivers that shadow ram, and the kernels own memory. Large routing tables, software raid and stateful in-kernel firewalls are three of the most common causes for "disappearing" memory. If nagios had had a leak it's process size would grow abnormally and most likely fairly rapidly. In short, memory wouldn't be "missing", it would be assigned to a process that usually doesn't claim that much of it. >>> Any other ideas? >>> >> >> Run it through valgrind and log everything.

Nice thought, but you're going about it in the wrong direction. I had a similar sort of problem when doing my configuration and got around it by defining multiple contact listings for each person receiving notifications. Here's one way to do it: 1) Combine these two services into a single one, with notification_options w,c,r. 2) Create two separate contacts for yourself in your contact.cfg file, using the following fragments as a guide: define contact { name myname-email service_notification_options w,r email my.email.address at domain # this contact has no pager address defined } define contact { name myname-pager service_notification_options c,r pager my.pager.number # this contact has no email address defined } 3) Add these contacts to the contact group which receives notifications for this service. Yes, this might mean each of your users has a number of different listings in the contact.cfg file, depending on your notification and service setup. But it's a lot better than getting inappropriate notifications, right? ############################################################ Building on 40 Years of Leadership - As a global communications leader with 40 years of experience, Intelsat helps service providers, broadcasters, corporations and governments deliver information and entertainment anywhere in the world, instantly, securely and reliably. ############################################################ This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

What? The 'contact' script would be sshing to the tech's desktop and playing a sound.

I fail to see how configuring an event handler to ssh to a local box and play a sound will work, but writing a notification script to ssh to a local box and play a sound will not work. You're writing essentially the same script in both cases. Its just a question of how you're hooking it into nagios. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Nagios is written entirely in C. There are plugins written in perl, but none of them contain the shoddy code below, and none of them use anything that can be specified as a map file whether you're a programmer, cartographer or whatever. > Here is the code that is causing the problem: > --snip-- > m|output:.*DISK.*-.free.space:.*| and do { > > my @options = split(/:/,$_); > my $strout; > > splice(@options,0,1); > > foreach my $opt (@options) { > $opt =~ /(\S+).*(\d+).MB.\((\d+)%\)/; > if (length($1) > 0) { > $strout .= ", [ $1, GAUGE, $3 ]"; > } > } > > > push @s, [ unixdiskusage $strout ]; > > }; > --snip-- > > Why does the above not work ?

I've been searching thru the source code for a few hours now and I can't find any place that is intentionally truncating the perf logs. As a test, I added this snippet to xpddefault.c: --- src/nagios-2.0b2/xdata/xpddefault.c 2004-12-05 19:40:03.000000000 -0800 +++ xpddefault.c 2005-04-04 18:49:58.050577544 -0700 @@ -558,6 +558,11 @@ int xpddefault_open_service_perfdata_fil char buffer[MAX_INPUT_BUFFER]; if(xpddefault_service_perfdata_file!=NULL){ + /*XXX*/ + snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Warning: Service perf file mode is: %s\n",(xpddefault_service_perfdata_file_append==TRUE)?"a":"w"); + buffer[sizeof(buffer)-1]='\x0'; + write_to_logs_and_console(buffer,NSLOG_RUNTIME_WARNING,TRUE); + /*XXX*/ xpddefault_service_perfdata_fp=fopen(xpddefault_service_perfdata_file,(xpddefault_service_perfdata_file_append==TRUE)?"a":"w"); My nagios.log reports back: Warning: Service perf file mode is: w If I delete/comment-out the config lines in nagios.conf I still get "w". BUT If I change "service_perfdata_file_mode=a" to "service_perfdata_file_mode=w" then my code reports back with an "a"!! I think the problem is in the initialization code. xdata/xpddefault.c:308-311: if(!strstr(value,"w")) xpddefault_service_perfdata_file_append=FALSE; else xpddefault_service_perfdata_file_append=TRUE; I think the logic is backwards here. "w" is supposed to mean "append=FALSE". But here if "w" is inside "value", strstr() returns positive, but the "!" negates it and causes "append=TRUE". That is the wrong outcome. Now I'll go check CVS to see if this has already been fixed. .enjoy -Frank ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: According to Ethan: I see there have been a number of messages on the list about when Nagios 2.0 will be released as stable. Here's my take. First, I would still consider 2.0 as being beta software - that's why its labeled as such. While no major changes will be made to either the configuration files or functionality before a "stable" 2.0 is released, I do expect that a few major nasty bugs will be discovered within the current code. If you're running the 2.0 code while its in beta, consider yourself a test subject. :-) As far as when 2.0 will be released as stable, I will not set a specific date. My gut feeling is that the beta testing will probably be done around June or so, but that could change depending on what people find with the code. Several bugs (some minor, some not so minor) have been (and continue to be) discovered throughout the alpha and beta releases. As testing continues and more betas are released, I expect the number of bugs to drop. At some point in this process the number of significant bugs found in a particular beta release will drop to near zero. That's when you can expect a release candidate for a stable 2.0 to come out. Obviously, bringing 2.0 out of beta doesn't mean that all bugs will have been caught and dealt with. That's why we will have versions 2.1, 2.2, etc. I just want to make sure that enough people have participated in the beta process to be reasonably sure that the major gotchas have been taken care of. Many of the users on this list feel fairly confident in the stability of the 2.0 beta code. Your feelings may vary, depending upon your past experience and current situation. If you're worried about running a non-stable version of Nagios in your environment, I would stick with the 1.x branch for the time being. You shouldn't have to wait too long for 2.0 to be released as stable. BTW, Nagios 1.3 should be released soon with some bug fixes that were made after the 1.2 release. The 1.x branch is currently marked as being the 1.3 release in CVS, but its not official yet. I expect to make one or two more minor patches to that branch before releasing 1.3. Hope that helps.

This mail is intended for those of you interested in contributing to Nagios but aren't very comfortable with threadsafe C-programming. Others might want to skip this mail. I've created a small but significantly weird plugin called check_rand, available for download at http://oss.op5.se/nagios and https://devel.op5.se/oss check_rand will; * exit with a properly pseudo-random exit code between 0 and 3. Each code is tested to have equal value. * print a random message 50% of the times, and the message "Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it" (which happened to be the first message that the fortune program spit out). * print perfdata 50% of the times. * print empty perfdata 25% of the times (half the times it prints perfdata). * *possibly* time out 12.5% of the times its run (the value passed to sleep is random, so it might not time out after all, but sleep only has a 12.5 chance of being called). * sleep up to 12 seconds prior to exiting, after having printed output. This will let it sometimes time out AFTER having printed output, which might be a source of crashing. To implement it for every check available, as well as notification commands (you won't want the barrage of notifications this script will generate), you should run something like this; cp misccommands.cfg misccommands.cfg.bak cp checkcommands.cfg checkcommands.cfg.bak sed 's,\(command_line[^/]*\)[^ ]*\(.*\),\1/check_rand\2,' checkcommands.cfg.bak >> checkcommands.cfg sed 's,\(command_line[^/]*\)[^ ]*\(.*\),\1/check_rand\2,' misccommands.cfg.bak >> misccommands.cfg (make sure you get those sed-lines right. Cut'n'past is your friend.) Or you can manually change the command actually run to check_rand (or symlink every plugin you have to check_rand, or something else that will assure that check_rand is run instead of the actual plugin). This kind of stress-testing is fairly important if we want 2.x to go stable sometime soon, so don't be afraid to ask if you're having trouble. Those easily offended should take heed, as I included fortune's offensive database. I just needed a lot of C-style strings pronto and took the ones that were readily available. If you're serious about helping out debugging nagios you should run an un-stripped version (file /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios will tell you) so that core-dumps are made useful and have daemon_dumps_core set to 1 in your nagios.cfg. It's very important that you keep the core files and the nagios .log and .sav-files that were generated during the (possible) crash, as debugging without them is simply hell. If you don't like reporting things to the nagios-devel mailinglist you can send bug-reports privately to me and I'll collect and forward them. It's appreciated all the same, and results should be visible in the form of commits to CVS and more stable code. The check_rand plugin is written in ANSI C for portability but uses /dev/urandom as its source for randomness. If this is a showstopper, then let me know and I'll work around it. Cheers, and thanks for listening and (possibly) contributing. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

The Firewalls does not reply on ICMP (which makes check-host-alive useless). Our current check implementation is to ensure that the SSH daemon runs on the Firewalls. When the SSH daemon does not respond for whatever reason, check-host-alive kicks in and that results in a Host down alert (since the Firewalls does not respond on ICMP). > > How can I force Nagios to only rely on the SSH service check? > > Any thoughts or ideas are deeply appreciated. > > Thanks in advance! > > Best regards, > Sebastian Bergstroem > > ---------------------------------------------- > Sebastian Bergstroem > Technical coordinator > Kunskapsskolan i Sverige AB > sebastian.bergstroem at kunskapsskolan.se > ----------------------------------------------- > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.

The first time was because i omitted certain compulsory fields from the host and service definitions. The second time was because i made some mistakes in the host configuration.

The recursive design is imperative because i'm dealing with different administrations across the WAN where the monitoring system will be in production. I'll try to make a sketch to make it more clear: - root A (this will receive and web publish all the incoming passive submits. NSCA) -- root B (this will receive, web publish his results and re-submit them no root A. NSCA / OSCP?) --- clientB:x (this is a standar client submiting to root B, OSCP with send_nsca) -- root C (analogous to root B) --- client C:x (analogous to client B:x) ... My question concerning this is about if this is doable. More precisely, is it possible to have have a passive service check with NSCA listening incoming submits and at the same time obssessing over this service with the OSCP command in order to re-submit these to its direct parent? This will also need to be acomplished without loosing the datastore feature so a root parent with web feature enabled is able to pulish its child(clients) submits in the nagios web interface. I'll be thankfull with a help in this subject.

The Firewalls does not reply on ICMP (which makes check-host-alive useless). Our current check implementation is to ensure that the SSH daemon runs on the Firewalls. When the SSH daemon does not respond for whatever reason, check-host-alive kicks in and that results in a Host down alert (since the Firewalls does not respond on ICMP). > > How can I force Nagios to only rely on the SSH service check? > > Any thoughts or ideas are deeply appreciated. > > Thanks in advance! > > Best regards, > Sebastian Bergstroem > > ---------------------------------------------- > Sebastian Bergstroem > Technical coordinator > Kunskapsskolan i Sverige AB > sebastian.bergstroem at kunskapsskolan.se > ----------------------------------------------- > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.

So I built a couple of test programs to gauge the check times. I couldn't duplicate a network issue. My response times were showing me that the new network (where nagios was running slower) was faster and my old network (where nagios was running faster) was slower. So I hit the lists again.

You found something there. ;-P From the manual: Host Checks Unlike service checks, host checks are not scheduled on a regular basis. Instead they are run on demand, as Nagios sees a need. This is a common question asked by users, so it needs to be clarified. One instance where Nagios checks the status of a host is when a service check results in a non-OK status. Nagios checks the host to decide whether or not the host is up, down, or unreachable. If the first host check returns a non-OK state, Nagios will keep pounding out checks of the host until either (a) the maximum number of host checks (specified by the max_attempts option in the host definition) is reached or (b) a host check results in an OK state. Also of note - when Nagios is check the status of a host, it holds off on doing anything else (executing new service checks, processing other service check results, etc). This can slow things down a bit and cause pending service checks to be delayed for a while, but it is necessary to determine the status of the host before Nagios can take any further action on the service(s) that are having problems. Or, in short: Host checks are necessary when hosts or services fail, and while they run everything else is held.

Especially th sections where it talks about authentication with the web server and probably the comments in the supplied nagios.cfg file. For me, it was very informative. If you did and couldn't understand, I'm sure that the developers will gladly accept suggestions on how to improve the manual.

Message-ID: Hi Lei. I found the "--disable-ssl" by grepping the source code when I ran into the problem. Also, others had seen the issue (web search). I have seen the "CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages" message. I knew my checking syntax was good, but I still received the error message. The final solution was to run nrpe (on the client) as a daemon and keep it out of inetd. So, I have setup a /etc/rc2.d script to run it (shown below). root at server_stg1># more S97nagios #!/bin/sh # This simple script is used to startup the nrpe daemon during a system reboot. NRPE_BIN_PATH=/opt/nrpe/bin NRPE_ETC_PATH=/opt/nrpe/etc $NRPE_BIN_PATH/nrpe -c $NRPE_ETC_PATH/nrpe.cfg -d I hope this assists you. Thanks.

I found that nagios will *eventually* die over 95% or so of the time. in my restart case, I put: while [ $(pgrep -s $NAGPID | wc -l) -gt 1 ]; do sleep 1 echo -n "." done between the 'stop' and 'start'. it hangs permanently (meaning, it waits more than, say, a minute) very very rarely. now that I'm looking at it, I should probably move that to the 'stop' case, then I get the benefit on a 'stop' as well as a 'restart'. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Yeah, I know, 90% of the time error messages are incorrect because the program has been thrown out of kilter by an earlier error it didn't report, but sometimes the error messages are correct. In this case the error message was correct.

If you want a practical language with a rational syntax, go for python. http://programming.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/03/29/0747230 It's good enough for Redhat, Xerox Park, Google, and many more. But if you want to just get something going quickly, then try my maxtime program: http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/software/ It does network (and other forms of) timeouts from shell just fine, thank you very much. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Rewrite the shell script in perl or python or ruby or rexx or C or C++ or whatever else you're familiar with that has the features you need (which is why I didn't mention Java) and doesn't impose a significant overhead (which is why I didn't mention Java).

You seem to have several really trivial problems and you don't know where to start. I suggest you pay someone to take care of everything for you.

I have got 85 hosts(mainly routers as of now) In second phase i shall be putting 25 server services in it And third phase 180 more customer devices(routers/modems/switches etc.) I am pasting down the relative configurations with it: 1.) ?command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 10 -w 450.0,40% -c 1750.0,98% 2.)This service defn. is for all 85 hosts(routers etc.) define service{ use generic-service host_name XXX.XXX.XXX service_description check_ping is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 60 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups noc-support notification_interval 30 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c check_command check_ping } 3.)Other related configurations: max_concurrent_checks 0 service_inter_check_delay_method s service_reaper_frequency 10 service_interleave_factor s max_check_attempts 3 Also to calculate the reaper freq. it is said that we can run nagios with -s option but when i do that it doesnot run(may be i am intercepting it the wrong way) [root at nagios root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios -s Usage: nagios {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status} [root at nagios root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios -s start Usage: nagios {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status} Also as suggested by some wise men in this list i have to strike a balance between check_interval and the reaper freq. as it wuld affect CPU. Can anybody suggest the optimum settings. Thanks. Vivek -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have system that is running for almost a month without being stopped. A few days ago I added NSCA in inetd mode and few passive checks. Since then I experienced two system hangs. The weird thing is I had the same problem with a completly different machine in another location that handles 10 times more passive checks.

You seem to have several really trivial problems and you don't know where to start. I suggest you pay someone to take care of everything for you.

It can take a bit of work to configure Nagios' contacts to be correct, and duplicating that (and keeping it in sync) with a mailing list seems like a bit of effort one shouldn't need to go to. In particular it could be useful for commenting on a problem; e.g. providing additional information after someone has already acknowledged it, or further comments after it's been resolved. It's halfway there, as you can add comments to hosts and services, but they aren't sent to others unless it's a problem acknowledgement. Mind you, Nagios is designed to monitor networks, not to be a collaboration / messaging server. It might make sense to implement something like this as a separate system, and then have a Nagios notification command to send alerts into this other system. Even so, being able to send arbitrary 'notifications' could be useful to a number of people, and it probably wouldn't be difficult for someone familiar with Nagios' workings to add the functionality.

In our testing we have tried to stop nagios several times and left it over 5 minutes and it is still present when a ps -ef is run. So far we have delt with the init script - what about the web interface - it also does not work. Origional post: >>We are playing with the new nagios2. We have tried nagios2.0b2 and nagios2.0b3 on Sun Solaris 10, using plugins version 1.4 and are having the same problem, >>even after we try to stop the process, it is still running. To kill the nagios process we have to issue a second 'kill '. >>So far to stop the process using the nagios script, I have added a second line to the stop section. This kludge fixes the init file, but does not fix the web interface. >>Either way we try to stop nagios, we find 'caught SIGTERM, stutting down' in the nagios log and the web interface becomes disfunctional. >>I have been able to replicate this same scenario on Solaris 9 using Nagios 2.0bx.

I, myself, after a minute or so of hang-time will just kill -9 the parent nagios process and be done with it. So far: no harm, no foul (that I can tell, anyway). > So far we have dealt with the init script - what about the web > interface ? it also does not work. I never use the web interface - bitten too many times in v1.0 and v1.1 with spawning dupe nagios processes, so now it's habit that it never gets used. Maybe it's still unpredictable (as you're saying), maybe it's great...I wouldn't know :) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Would manually submitting a passive check result serve your needs? (Services only in 1.x, hosts also in 2.x.) You can set the status manually to a level which would trigger a notification, and supply a message corresponding to the "output" from the service/host check. No additional functionality required, and it's available from the CGI or by dropping a check result directly into the command file. ############################################################ Building on 40 Years of Leadership - As a global communications leader with 40 years of experience, Intelsat helps service providers, broadcasters, corporations and governments deliver information and entertainment anywhere in the world, instantly, securely and reliably. ############################################################ This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

My check_nrpe portion in the checkcommands.cfg file is shown below: # 'check_nrpe' command definition define command{ command_name check_nrpe command_line /usr/local/etc/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ } If I add more arguments in the check_nrpe portion of my checkcommands.cfg file, all nrpe checks fail (for load and disk). I tried that once a few days ago. Or should I do something in the services.cfg file? Here is a clipping of the check_disk portion of my services.cfg file: # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use hostgroup_name computer-distopias service_description Disk is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups unix-team notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,c,r check_command check_nrpe!check_disk } Thanks for the help in advance. -Mukarram Syed. __________________________________ Yahoo!

Message-ID: Close...but not quite. You don't need multiple check_disk commands in your libexec directory. Those commands are executed when you are checking stuff on the local host only. Since you are checking a remote host via nrpe, you don't need them. Further, just so you understand this, the command the OS calls has nothing do to with what it is called in Nagios. Here is an example from one of my hosts (some stuff left out to make it short, important bits are there): Service definitions on the Nagios server: define service{ service_description / check_command check_nrpe!check_disk1 } define service{ service_description /tmp check_command check_nrpe!check_disk2 } Config lines in nrpe.cfg on the target host command[check_disk1]=/usr/local/libexec/netsaint/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p / command[check_disk2]=/usr/local/libexec/netsaint/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /tmp What this equates to, is the Nagios server runs the check_nrpe command, giving it "check_disk1" as check to run on the remote host. The remote host sees that string, goes through it's nrpe.cfg file, sees that check_disk1 runs a certain command, runs it, then returns the results. Hope that clears things up a bit. You were close though....very close. :) --Brian -----Original Message----- From: Mukarram Syed [mailto:muksyed at yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 12:59 To: McCann, Brian; Nagios-Mailing-List Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Help on check_disk using the -p option.

If the monitoring server needs to initiate it, that would be check_by_ssh or NRPE. If circumstances keep that from happening, there's NSCA. All of these are well documented on the main Nagios site. Pick your poison, and those are just some of the "official" ways. Any scheme you can concoct that will have your monitoring server respond to a return code of 0-3 and a line of text from the remote host will work -- even an RFC-1149/2549-compliant network. ############################################################ Building on 40 Years of Leadership - As a global communications leader with 40 years of experience, Intelsat helps service providers, broadcasters, corporations and governments deliver information and entertainment anywhere in the world, instantly, securely and reliably. ############################################################ This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Basically, you run a Nagios plugin that uses (for example) ssh to connect to the remote host and delivers the output - usefully formatted and condnsed, of course - to nagios. Actually, that's the regular way to work with Nagios. > ANy insight to NAGIOS with resepct to this would be extrememely helpful. This seems like a pretty powerful app and I'm trying to wrap my brain around it to ENSURE that it will suit our needs. Understanding od course that a significant time investment will be needed to get up and running. I'd suggest that you simply set up Nagios, try it, ask questions here and study the docs (not necessarily in this order, though many seem to prefer it...) You will hopefully find a very flexible and powerful application.

Nagios v1.2 Message-ID: <015701c53af2$6b0d2f50$01fea8c0@itss.auckland.ac.nz> >From reading the various postings here, I now have solved my latency problems. As was indicated by another user (sorry, I do not remember any names) the culprit is host checks. As soon as we have a host down -- even if acknowledged or in scheduled downtime -- then latency starts to creep up indefinitely until there are *no* hosts down. This is because hosts checks are high priority, and are serial rather than parallel. We have >400 hosts in our Nagios, so something is always in scheduled downtime, it seems. The Latency was getting up to 10 mins after a long weekend. To fix it, I did the following: 1) Change the max_check_attempts for the default host template to 2 (was 10). This helped substantially, and is the main fix. 2) When a host is expected to be down for a long time (1+ day), disable host checks for that host, even if it is in scheduled downtime. However it seems that sometimes the host checks are being run anyway... 3) Try to educate users to inform me when a host is being decommissioned, rather than them just disabling alerts for it and forgetting about it. This is the hardest. 4) Add freshness checks for many services. This doesn't help much since the queue (low priority) is not being processed due to the backlog of host checks (high priority) I looked into changing the Nagios code to make it not obsess over host checks and still process *all* the lower priority checks, but I'd rather not make code modifications and I'm not 100% sure what to change! Hope this helps other people in this situation...

All the documentation I have read states that you can make adjustments to 2nd and subsequent notifications and how long in between them. May question is when are alerts send out? I have a completly passive system and I can send a critical signal and the GUI shows it as critical. Nagios.log show that the signal came thru, but does not send out the notifications. Tonight I had to send the critical signal 3 times before the notifications were sent. Is there a setting to determine when or how many times the service/host has to have a warning or critical signal before it sends it's notifications?

This new version fixes a bug in the agent which on some systems can result in the NSCA password being lost after several alerts have been forwarded. This probably does not affect you; however you are recommended to upgrade as soon as possible in order to avoid possible problems. There are no other changes since version 1.4.0. The new version is available from www.steveshipway.org/software in the Nagios section, and from www.NagiosExchange.org in the Windows Agents section.

The Firewalls does not reply on ICMP (which makes check-host-alive useless). Our current check implementation is to ensure that the SSH daemon runs on the Firewalls. When the SSH daemon does not respond for whatever reason, check-host-alive kicks in and that results in a Host down alert (since the Firewalls does not respond on ICMP). > > > > How can I force Nagios to only rely on the SSH service check? > > > > Any thoughts or ideas are deeply appreciated. > > > > Thanks in advance! > > > > Best regards, > > Sebastian Bergstroem > > > > ---------------------------------------------- > > Sebastian Bergstroem > > Technical coordinator > > Kunskapsskolan i Sverige AB > > sebastian.bergstroem at kunskapsskolan.se > > ----------------------------------------------- > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.

Check out www.miwi-dv.com/nrpent/ . It's a Windows "clone" of the *nix NRPE daemon.

Let's say I have two hosts : host1 and host2 and on these two hosts 1 service is checked, for example cpu load host1 has contactgroup host1admins host2 has contactgroup host2admins service cpu-load is defined in common for the 2 hosts, contactgroup = host1admins,host2admins My problem, when the service cpu-load on host1 is not-ok, I want host1admins to be alerted, when the cpu-load on host2 is not-ok, I want host2admins to be alerted. Is there a way to filter out service-notifications that notifications are only sent when to the contactgroups that belong to the host and the service ? Or any other ideas ? The real problem is that my service is defined once and applied to 30 hostgroups (with their contactgroups).

The contactgroups in your hostgroup definition will be the target if you have a host alert but not on a service alert (so under Nagios <2.x) My suggestion: Read the docs about templates in your object configfiles, since Nagios 1.1 (I think) you can use them and they are realy usefull.

I haven't tried it personally but the documentation at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/int-snmptrap.html looks pretty thorough and straightforward.

It?s working fine, but this morning I?ve been notice by my NOC about an enexpected behavior. Sometimes, NOC collects trend reports for statistics purposes and they verified that trend reports didn?t reflect the real service downtime from a device. Digging a little, I found these lines about the polled device: ---begin--- [1112890437] SERVICE ALERT: tajuras_comercial;PING;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds [1112890678] SERVICE ALERT: tajuras_comercial;PING;WARNING;SOFT;1;PING WARNING - Packet loss = 40%, RTA = 25.30 ms [1112890737] SERVICE ALERT: tajuras_comercial;PING;OK;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 29.40 ms [1112898887] INITIAL SERVICE STATE: tajuras_comercial;PING;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 35.50 ms --eof--- Apparently, we had a situation where this device have entered in a CRITICAL HARD state and after a SOFT recovery the hard state remain in a critical state (for trend report, monitor pages show OK state) until another hard state change (e.g. a Nagios restart). I?ll really appreciate any help or advice about this issue.

I haven't ever heard of push_check.sh before and I've been using Nagios and Netsaint for years. Perhaps I've missed something. If it's the wrapper that is available at http://jjoseph.org/linux-work/nagios-plugins, it looks like it assumes that each plugin works universally on all architectures, i.e. you have python installed and are using his python scripts and they really do work across all architectures as he seems to claim. The standard nagios plugins are generally architecture dependent meaning you can not run a plugin compiled on linux on a sun box and vice-versa. Even different flavors of an OS can be problematic. A plugin compiled on Fedora Core 3 probably isn't going to run on a Redhat 7.x box for example. You might want to look at NRPE or the plain-old check-by-ssh. This is the type of implementation they were designed for. Unless the author of that program is a member of this list you'll probably have better luck contacting him directly if you want to continue to use his solution. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Resending the same thing over and over again isn't going to help. Perhaps no one has done what you are trying, you haven't supplied enough information to answer or, more likely, what you're trying to accomplish isn't clear at all. I for one have no idea what your desired end-result is from the information above or how it differs from the documented parenting/network reachability logic that is already incorporated into Nagios. Perhaps you should read http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/networkreachability.html and http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/networkoutages.html and then tell us how what you want is different and/or state your problem more simply, using examples. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4255C0EF.5030809@di.com.pt> Sorry, you're right and I apollagize. My doubt is really simple. I've got a monitoring distributed/recursive topology like it i've already explained in a previous thread: --- - root A (this will receive and web publish all the incoming passive submits. NSCA) -- root B (this will receive, web publish his results and re-submit them no root A. NSCA / OSCP) --- clientB:x (this is a standar client submiting to root B, OSCP with send_nsca) -- root C (analogous to root B) --- client C:x (analogous to client B:x) ---- So the problem is, for example: Since root A can't reach clientB:x, i'm dependent from root B to obsess the passive checks submited by client B:x directly to root A. So far so good, and I confirm this topology works in pefection. But i've got one problem in root A, since the checks for client B:x are received passively trough root B and this client is unreachable from root A's network, I had to redefine the check_command to a "dummy OK" check that enables the client's services to be checked, otherwise the host would get stated has DOWN and service checks disabled. But what I really needed and is exacly the problem I am having, is that root B, that actually can reach and check actively (with check_command) the clientB:x status, also notified root A for this status. If this is possible, root A, like the service checks, will be also capable to determine the clientB:x status trough the root B submits. My english is not very well, but I hope I was clear, please ask me to try to explain better if it wasn't so clear. Hope anyone could lead me here please.

After noting that the released version of NSCA 2.4 has a memory leak that was contributing to the problem, I found a FAQ item: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=115 that describes exactly what is happening to my CMS Nagios instance. However, the distributed servers send NSCA check results faster than the rate at which the service reaper can process them, even with a reaper frequency of 1 second, and I see processes accumulating constantly until I hit swap.

This will necessitate an upgrade from check_cluster to check_cluster2 because of the different format of the status.log file. I am currently calling check_cluster from a perl script and parsing the check_cluster output for generating a display on a web page. This will not work with check_cluster2 as the on-demand service state macros are passed on the command line to check_cluster2, and are expanded by Nagios when running check_cluster2 (as a child process?) to the current service state IDs. These macro values are not available inside my perl script... Does anyone know: a) do the service state IDs change upon restart of Nagios? i.e. can I hard code them (I'm guessing not) b) where can you see what the service state IDs are? (I'm guessing status.log? - sorry don't have a working install of Nagios 2.0 atm) To retrieve this output from check_cluster2 I could wrap the output and store it in temporary files on the HDD which are then read by the perl script, but that's kinda kludgy. Does anyone have any ideas about getting this information to my perl script directly from Nagios? (Hmm, idea, I could take check_cluster2 and convert the perl script to C and have a custom version of check_cluster2 huh...) -- Greg Vickers Computer Systems Officer Teaching and Learning Support Services, Systems and Architecture Queensland University of Technology Phone: (07) 3864 8276 Mobile: 0416 001 674, SD #6 6147 Email: g.vickers at qut.edu.au CRICOS No. 00213J ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I've got 2 Nagios 1.2 servers installed, both active monitoring, but one also supports passive monitoring of the other one. One of the services on the server which receives the passive monitoring is constantly switching between FAIL and OK on a service. What's strange about it is that the server which is actively checking the service has had an OK status for months for this particular service. However, the main nagios server will report "Return Code of 127..."), and then soon after it will return OK. I can't figure out why this is, as the server doing the service checks never sends anything but OK to the main server. The hardware for the main server (the one which receives the passive info) is a 3 CPU 768 MB RAM. Load is around average 24%. A total of 421 services on 102 hosts, where 24 servers and 137 services are passive. Nagios.log show the the following for the serivce in question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1112947261] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'CPU Load' on host 'micmac' was out of bounds.

In case you don't get any other answers I believe you can just change 'int display_system_messages=TRUE;' to 'FALSE' near the top of history.c and recompile. I have not tested this however. You could also change the logic that's used to display the HTML for that checkbox further down in that same file. I'd be more specific as to the line number but I have no idea what version of Nagios you are using. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Is this a common problem? I have nrpe2 setup on a few test clients, and the commands work correctly when I use check_nrpe2 from an older FreeBSD machine (which had the plugins and nrpe2 installed via ports), but I have a problem the check_nrpe command on my Fedora Core 2 system (which had nagios 1.2 installed via YUM and dag's rpm repository). I was contemplating building the 1.4 plugins from source and seeing if that includes check_nrpe2, but is there a better way I should go about it (that I'm probably just not seeing?)

NRPE is a standalone application and isn't included with the plugins available on Sourceforge. The packager of the plugins you installed must have included it as a courtesy. The source for NRPE is downloadable from http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php. As to whether compiling from scratch will help depends entirely on the specific problem you are experiencing. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Did you add the IP for your solaris box to the allowed_hosts in nrpe.cfg? You may also need to add it to hosts.allow (if such a file exists under AIX). You should probably be seeing some kind of error via syslog on your AIX box, either from inetd or nrpe indicating why the connection was dropped. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

The fact that you actually asked this question and then urged us to answer it twice the same day tells me that you have absolutely no respect for other peoples time. If you want answers that bad you should simply try and get someone you can pay for getting this answer.

Like a diplomatic slap in the face. :) Thanks. I was inspired by an email (I don't know that it was on this list) that came in reply to a non-English posting - that reply was primarily in the posted language, then had an English P.S. saying something like "Since most on this list don't speak , I told him 'Read the documentation section on Blah Blah and that this is an English mailing list, please don't post in '" I lightbulb went off in my head - I thought I'd take just a dismissive (yet, as you say, diplomatic) sentence and translate it into a pile of common languages (either programatically or by asking someone fluent) for use in case another non-English posting came up. I've posted it a few times on here, and at least twice I've been assisted by someone who proofread some of my poor non-English grammar (which I greatly appreciate. While I *do* want to be dismissive, I also want to do so eloquently). So, I'm glad you like it. It's "open", so feel free to steal it, too :) --jeff Oh, and, in case someone who's read this far thinks I'm just a typical Amero-centric jerk...I have no problem with non-English anywhere it's appropriate. A mailing list specifically designated for English communications, however, diminishes the quality of the mailing list for everyone. Regardless if I personally can read a given non-English posting or not, this forum is not the place for it. > jeff vier wrote: > > Dies ist eine englische Mailingliste.

From ratty at they.org Fri Apr 8 22:24:11 2005 From: ratty at they.org (frank) Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2005 13:24:11 -0700 (PDT) Subject: host checks not running until services are restored Message-ID: Nagios 2.0b2 on Debian Sarge. Been running for about a month. All my hosts use check_icmp (symlinked as check_host) for HOST checks. Service checks for this particular host are done over SNMP. I had a host go down last night at 1:16am. When it was rebooted, the SNMP daemon was not restarted because I failed to add it to system startup scripts. My fault of course. So I would expect all the _service_ checks to fail in this case. And they did. What confuses me is that the HOST checks (icmp) weren't running at all until I restarted snmpd, allowing the service checks to complete properly. It appears that the host checks ran 10 times at 1:16am (per our global host config), sent out the "host down" alert, and then slept for over 9.5 hours while the SNMP daemon was down. Meanwhile, service checks continued to run and return "UNKNOWN" values because of their inability to contact snmpd. Is this expected behavior? Is it because the service checks return UNKNOWN instead of CRITICAL? I thought the proper action to be taken when a service check returns not-OK is to re-execute the host-check. Is this incorrect?

Is it because the service checks return UNKNOWN Yes, this is expected behavior. Host status is not regularly checked under any circumstances. Host checks are essentially only run under two conditions -- 1) A service goes down and the host is currently OK 2) A service recovers and the host is currently not OK > instead of CRITICAL? I thought the proper action to be taken when a > service check returns not-OK is to re-execute the host-check. Is this > incorrect? Your assumption is incorrect. See above. The exception to this appears to be if you have aggressive host checks enabled which forces a check regardless of the previous host state. That will likely increase your check latency and is discouraged. Nagios will stop _everything_ else it is doing while checking your host so if you check it every time you check a service that isn't OK you're going to really limit the number of checks you can perform. In the event of a major outage nagios will be so bogged down trying to accomplish host checks that it'll be useless for actually determining what's down on your network. I'd suggest you just add a ping service check in addition to your SNMP based checks.

Post it http://www.nagiosexchange.org. Ok, but I need some time. My collegue who is working on this stuff is a little bit of a perfectionist. Have to screw him down and write some usefull documentation. AFAIK there are components which are reading some textfiles, push them through a couple of OpenSource tools to get an wav optimised for 64kbit ISDN and puts them through vgetty (i think) to a voicemodem. I really don't know what to be done but we can write some detailed things about this kind of "magic" we are doing on our system with a (german) FritzAVM Pci Card on an euro-isdn. I think it should be easy to shrink the outgoing wav-files to whatever you need to get a good voice and the interface to drop this wavs to a modem should be a little bit configuration. We will see.... Next week my collegue is at his holidays for one week, I think one more week after he comes back we can work on a howto. Can someone tell us what we have to mention about the different licences of the two or three tools you need to use for? Or is it ok when we just say that everyone has to read the different licences for himself?

Most of my need for Nagios was actually to use it to monitor my Asterisk applications and installations. I often thought that I would take on the project of making Asterisk a notification arm to Nagios. It's really not that difficult and could probably be done with minimal effort. As for text to speech there are two open source (well one officially) that are widely used in the Asterisk world. Festival http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+festival+installation http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/ and Cepstral (My personal favorite, but there is a nominal cost with licensing voices) http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Cepstral http://www.cepstral.com/ There are other crossovers (Nagios/Asterisk) developers/maintainers/users that would probably contribute to the project. One that I am familiar with is RoyK (irc nick on freenode). He developed the Asterisk monitor plugin for Nagios. I'm sure we could talk him into helping with the project. Bottom line is, if you want to take this on with Asterisk, I think that you would find a lot of support from the Asterisk development world. Catch me on IRC some time and we can discuss further. nick == Chuji -Brian ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Use any of the following parameters on status.cgi: Hoststatustypes= Servicestatustypes= Serviceprops= Hostprops= Add up the decimal values for all of the properties you want ANDed or statuses you want ORed. Like SERVICE_NO_SCHEDULED_DOWNTIME && SERVICE_CHECKS_ENABLED Results in status.cgi?serviceprops=34 And HOST_PENDING || HOST_UP Results in status.cgi?hoststatustypes=3 You'll see the definition of the filter you create in the "Display Filters" box. The only difficulty I've had is that the filter does an AND on all types (hoststatustypes,servicestatustypes,serviceprops,and hostprops). So for example status.cgi?serviceprops=1&hostprops=1 will show me nothing unless I've scheduled downtime for both the host and its services.

A new version of NC_Net is going to be released within the next few days. NC_Net is used to monitor many different windows objects. To monitor OWA for exchange you can monitor it's processes, services, performance counters and/or event logs. for more details on exacly what to monitor see Microsoft whitepaper on OWA http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;840252 Other than NC_Net you can try any of the other plugons for Windows that give access to the objects you want to monitor. I would suggest browsing nagiosexchange for these: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Windows.49.0.html Good Luck.

Message-ID: <42580AD3.9040401@di.com.pt> Hi ppl, I'm having very strange instable results in passive host checks, I don't know if i've found a bug or if I am actually doing something wrong here. I'll try to introduce the network first, before exposing the actual problem: Well, I have some hosts that are behind firewalled networks, so service and host checks have to be submited passively using send_nsca. In the main config I have these refresh options: check_service_freshness=1 check_host_freshness=1 service_freshness_check_interval=300 host_freshness_check_interval=60 retain status options are disabled also. A generic host in these conditions uses this template configuration, define host { name generic-passive-unreachable-host active_checks_enabled 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 obsess_over_host 1 event_handler_enabled 0 flap_detection_enabled 0 process_perf_data 0 retain_status_information 0 retain_nonstatus_information 0 check_command host-is-stale check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 120 max_check_attempts 1 notifications_enabled 1 notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r contact_groups dummy-contacts register 0 } analogous for services: define service { name generic-passive-service active_checks_enabled 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 obsess_over_service 1 event_handler_enabled 0 flap_detection_enabled 0 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 0 retain_nonstatus_information 0 is_volatile 0 check_command service-is-stale check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 300 parallelize_check 1 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 2 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 5 notifications_enabled 1 notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r contact_groups dummy-contacts register 0 } Now to the real problem. I'm having problems with the host status flapping from UP to DOWN constantly. In my tests I have only the monitoring server up, the other clients/servers are down. Everytime the host threshold expires the 'host-is-stale' get run, returning allways a DOWN state: Apr 9 17:52:09 sr-0 nagios: Warning: The results of host 'domain.pt_sfci-dr-0' are stale by 60 seconds (threshold=120 seconds). I'm forcing an immediate check of the host. This is the expected behavior, so far so good... The problem starts happening when I see that this host related passive services threshold is also expiring, even when the host is in status DOWN: Apr 9 17:52:17 sr-0 nagios: Warning: The results of service '[SYS] Swap Usage' on host 'domian.pt_sfci-dr-0' are stale by 40 seconds (threshold=500 seconds). I'm forcing an immediate check of the service. Well, when this happens the command 'service-is-stale' get executed placing the service in an UNKNOWN status and consequently the host status changes to UP. Now, let me shoot my question, aren't supposed the services checks for a stated DOWN host be ignored? This is causing the UP/DOWN flapping instability, I remember that there aren't any other distributed servers ou clients submiting results, NSCA isn't even running at this time. Any clues? I'm running nagios version 2.0b2. (I know there is 2.0b3 but since I havent found any changlog references on this subject, I am aiming for a configuration problem) Thanks very much, AD ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

In this specific case, why the host status is DOWN the returned value for the staled services is CRITICAL, leading to a not change of the host status. Anyway, I still have the same question, isn't supposed to ignore all the service checks if the host is stated DOWN?

Message-ID: <42594882.2080100@di.com.pt> Someone explain could explain me the correct behavior for freshness checkings please? It's driving me crazy. The main configuration has: service_freshness_check_interval=60 So I supose that this will define de check rate for the services freshness check. Then, for every service I use the same template, where I have the following configurations: check_command service-is-stale check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 300 parallelize_check 1 max_check_attempts 2 normal_check_interval 2 retry_check_interval 2 So the logical behavior for me, is that everytime nagios will trigger a freshness check (each 60s in this case), if the last submited check sample for a given service is more than 300s old it will declare that service staled and run service-is-stale. Now, i'm pretty shure that samples are being fed in a +-120s rate, and I'm having a lot of status changes from OK to UNKNOWN (returned from the service-is-stale)!

That is expected behavior given the command you are running below. If you're going to write your own check plugins you should read the Plugin Developers Guidelines at http://nagiosplug.sf.net, then you won't be surprised by these little details. check_by_ssh is just a wrapper, passing the output of the plugin run on the remote host back to Nagios. > My configuration is as follows: > > define command { > command_name solaris_disk_check > command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H xxx.xxx.xxx -l root - > C 'df -k' -n solaris-disk-check -s solaris-disk-check -O $USER1$/test > } > > Command line output: > [nagios at nagios libexec]$ id > uid=501(nagios) gid=501(nagios) groups=501(nagios),502(nagcmd) > [nagios at nagios libexec]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H > xxx.xxx.xxx -l root -C 'df -k' -n solaris-disk-check -s > solaris-check-disk -O /usr/local/nagios/libexec/test > Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on > /dev/md/dsk/d10 5040814 4140918 849488 83% / > /proc 0 0 0 0% /proc > mnttab 0 0 0 0% /etc/mnttab > fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd > /dev/md/dsk/d30 4032504 3450385 541794 87% /var > swap 2248192 168 2248024 1% /var/run > swap 2254928 6904 2248024 1% /tmp > /dev/md/dsk/d50 1984564 1660404 264624 87% /export > /dev/md/dsk/d40 1488787 111161 1318075 8% /opt > [nagios at nagios libexec]$ > > GUI Output: > Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on > > Both check_by_ssh plugin and test file are in > /usr/local/nagios/libexec=$USER1$ directory > > Also how would i make the nagios get a warning status for %age amount of > disk free etc. b'cos check_by_ssh plugin has option > for warning/critical only on response time which is not useful for my > situation.

No, but something that might be related. You might want tosee the thread "Memory leak" started by me on April 3, although I just notice that my last posts didn't make it to the list... In short: I see memory usage going way up when Nagios (2.0b2 or -b3) is running. I can't tie this to the nagios process as ps or top don't give unexpected RSSes or SZes, but this can be reproduced. Independent of using the normal configuration or a stripped-down version. Although I'm not able to prove that the memory is used (or the memory usage is initiated) by Nagios, I guess Nagios is responsible for it. Valgrind output gives me lots of hints concerning possible memory leaks but I don't exactly understand it...

I understand only small parts of it... This file is about 1.4 MB in size and resulted from a nagios run with my test config: 22 Hosts, 22 services, checks by check_icmp and check_dummy, no notifications, state retention file exists and fits the config file (hopefully...) Nagios ran for only a few minutes but still "ate" some memory. Created with: valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes nagios-2.0b2/base/nagios /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg >nagios-valgrind.txt 2>nagios-valgrind-err.txt Nagios is version 2.0b2 compiled from tarball: > elf:~ # more nagios-2.0b2/config.status > #! /bin/sh > # Generated automatically by configure. > # Run this file to recreate the current configuration. > # This directory was configured as follows, > # on host elf: > # > # ./configure > elf:~ # valgrind --version > valgrind-2.2.0 I hope someone can use this output to find the (possible) memory leaks. Arno ------------ Well, time has passed and I worked on the problem myself. I installed -b03 and kept everything the same except the binaries. Now, memory usage still goes up when Nagios runs - about 220 MB in hours - but then it stays at that level. About 10 hours after stopping Nagios the memory usage goes down again in "steps" to a "normal" level. To me, this looks like some kernel memory issue, like open sockets with a long timeout before they're shut down or something. Still, everything with 22 hosts and 22 (more or less) dummy checks. I'm reactivating the normal service checks one by one now... Anyway, something inside Nagios has obviously changed and it has an effect on Nagios' or the kernels memory consumption.

I know on Debian the ping6 (/bin/ping6) application is in the iputils-ping package. Having written most of the IPv6 support into check_ping back in revision 1.18 I've looked through the diff of the current version against what I wrote and most of it has remained unchanged except for improvement. The command call still remains the same, thus using --with-ping6-command=SYNTAX similar to --with-ping-command during the configure script if it is not detected automatically.

Otherwise the code is written so that if the hostname given returns both IPv6 and IPv4 it attempts both. If the hostname only returns IPv6 or IPv4 it runs check_ping accordingly as if -4 or -6 were used. However this is only true if the IPv6 stack is available when check through the configure script. If a hostname is not given and an IP address is given it is treated accordingly depending on if that address is IPv6 or IPv4. The check_ping plugin was designed to handle both conditions.

Normaly you define your check_command "PATH/check_nrpe ARGS" in your checkcommands.cfg with a nagios command_name like nrpe and this command_name you should have in your service definition.

I have read this page: http://192.168.1.119/nagios/docs/notifications.html Howere is very complicated and good if I want to do some fancy stuff I'm sure, but to just sinply send an email for all activity it doesn treally go into. I have found the "define_contact" function in the minimal.cfg file, I set it up with my email address, but no go. Any help or reference is much appreciated. -A __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I understand only small parts of it... This file is about 1.4 MB in size and resulted from a nagios run with my test config: 22 Hosts, 22 services, checks by check_icmp and check_dummy, no notifications, state retention file exists and fits the config file (hopefully...) Nagios ran for only a few minutes but still "ate" some memory. Created with: valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes nagios-2.0b2/base/nagios /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg >nagios-valgrind.txt 2>nagios-valgrind-err.txt Nagios is version 2.0b2 compiled from tarball: > elf:~ # more nagios-2.0b2/config.status > #! /bin/sh > # Generated automatically by configure. > # Run this file to recreate the current configuration. > # This directory was configured as follows, > # on host elf: > # > # ./configure > elf:~ # valgrind --version > valgrind-2.2.0 I hope someone can use this output to find the (possible) memory leaks. Arno ------------ Well, time has passed and I worked on the problem myself. I installed -b03 and kept everything the same except the binaries. Now, memory usage still goes up when Nagios runs - about 220 MB in hours - but then it stays at that level. About 10 hours after stopping Nagios the memory usage goes down again in "steps" to a "normal" level. To me, this looks like some kernel memory issue, like open sockets with a long timeout before they're shut down or something. Still, everything with 22 hosts and 22 (more or less) dummy checks. I'm reactivating the normal service checks one by one now... Anyway, something inside Nagios has obviously changed and it has an effect on Nagios' or the kernels memory consumption.
