When a service check returns an unknown state. Generally this means the plugin executed for the service check returned an error, but in some cases a plugin may deliberately return a code that Nagios doesn't recognise in order to indicate something's wrong. The most common cause is if Nagios cannot execute a plugin, either because it's missing or doesn't have execute permissions on it. > Are there any way to know when a service execution is suspended by one > dependency???

Is this type of trend monitoring is possible using nagios?. For this we need to collect data for some amount of time and store in data base and again fetch these values to check for the alert condition. If so how should be our plugins?.

This also presumes that >you can check the number of connections from a unix command line in some >way. What about SNMP graphing of the dialup connections (your RAS box should support this) using NRG or any RRDtool frontend? Then you'd have an RRD database that Nagios could check with whatever alerting thresholds you choose. Or perhaps you could set Nagios to use RRDtool itself but I've not done that. I haven't done this or anything so I'm just throwing out ideas, but it just seems like creating a custom database could be avoided somehow using SNMP graphs one way or another. Perhaps others can confirm or refute this. If it would work there are probably people on the list that use Nagios & RRDtool or MRTG together that could give concrete examples.

The plugin above is not network aware and simply runs the command `omreport chassis temps` on the host it is run on and parses that output. It accepts no command line arguments other than a -v for verbose output. You can not pass it warning and critical thresholds as it figures those out from the "Maximum Warning" and "Maximum Failure" output of omreport. Your service definition check command should simply be -- check_command check_nrpe!nagios_check_temps presuming that you have a 'nagios_check_temps' command definition in your nrpe.cfg on the remote machine ala -- command[nagios_check_temps]=/path/to/nagios_check_temps and nagios_check_temps is installed on the machine you are wanting to check the temperature on in the location specified in the nrpe.cfg command definition. The command definition that you included above isn't used at all, at least by the service definition you included. You didn't give any indication about what the actual problem was you were experiencing so that's about all I can tell you. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

It just so happens that I took a little time this weekend and whipped up one myself (which I have attached). If anyone feels the inclination to comment on ways to improve it, or things to check for that I am not...I would *REALLY* appreciate it.

I've been using Nagios for some time now, but am concerned about scalability issues. We're looking to manage roughly 2000-3000 machines. Is Nagios up to this task? It needs to be more than a simple ping server. We will need to be polling all sorts of data off our machines, including SNMP data; CPU temperature, network load, etc. Thanks.

I saw a post on the mailing list where someone showed their archives dir and it had the same 2 entries in there but he didn't complain about the problem I'm having so can you confirm whether or not I should ONLY see "00.log" files ? thx Alex ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Nagios has the capacity for distributed monitoring but there are some gaps, such as manually having to manually syncronize the configurations and the fact that the 'central' console doesn't impact the distributed consoles. This means you have to go to each distributed node to do things like disable monitoring for hosts. Some hacking around with OCSP's and a custom web gui would let you concentrate the results of several distributed Nagios instances into one interface. -Jason Martin -- How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?

Not having used cheops-ng before, I had to do a fair amount of research to get that going. For a new user, it seems as though cheops-ng will crash if there is no '$HOME/.gnome/cheops-ng.map' file when you attempt to open the file created by nag2che.awk. Also, nag2che.awk didn't appear to create a file, at least not one that I could locate. I created this file with the following command: cat hostextinfo.cfg | ./nag2che.awk > ~/.gnome/cheops-ng.map This would also take care of the cheops crashing issue mentioned above. So, I made it to the point where I can see my statusmap in cheops-ng, move icons around, delete old ones, etc. After this I save the file and go back to the command line to run your next script, right? Perhaps you could elaborate on this step a bit, as I can't seem to figure it out. I'm reading into the script now, so maybe I'll get to it before you read this. However, I do think that your docs could use a little more information in them. Garry W.

It's a HUGE change from the previous release. It still sits in the system tray and changes colors, but almost everything else is different. What's new in 1.0? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, to be honest, just about everything. It's almost a complete re-write. -New GUI tool to create nicer looking screens for the pop-up and configuration screens. Added several new configuration options in the setup dialogue. The tool I used is called 'The GUI LOFT'. -Actual status returned from Nagios. Click on the tray icon to bring up the status pop-up. You can go to the status detail or the acknowledgement screen for a selected problem. -NTray polls the StatusWML.cgi instead of status.cgi. This is much easier to parse, and creates a lot less load on your Nagios server if you've got quite a number of people using NTray. -Choice of only displaying/alerting on unhandled problems. Yay!!! When configured, NTray will only alert on problems that are unacknowleged and don't have notifications disabled. -Pretty new icons. Somebody contributed them, I saved them to my C: drive, then at some point between then and now I lost all my mail. If you recognize your red, yellow, green, and unknown icon, let me know. -New fancy logo icon. I made this myself :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new release can be found on the Nagios.org website under 'Extras'! Rob Wagner, NTray Guy!! PS - I have not tested the new release under Nagios 2.x, so I don't know whether it works or not!!

It rocks! You have to edit numerous files within your system, though, making it a bit hairy for the faint at heart. The good news is that if you are successful, you can authenticate against AD with any pam-enabled program in linux! This method uses winbind for directory user/group UID/GID mappings/lookups and kerberos V5 for authentication. The following are instructions for Fedora Core 3 in a typical Active Directory environment, but they should be adaptable to other distros. You will need the following packages and their dependencies (preferrably most recent): krb5-workstation pam_krb5 mod_auth_pam (http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam) Optional, but highly recommended: nscd (to cache authentication requests) The instructions that follow assume that you are using Apache v2.x with module support and SSL, and that you are wanting to authenticate against a Windows 2003 Server DC. Make sure that the following services are enabled in your init scripts for your runlevel (chkconfig): winbind nscd (if being used--highly recommended so that your DC is not pounded with numerous requests) Add the following to your /etc/krb5.conf as follows. Automatic kdc and realm lookup will save you a lot of headaches (may be less secure since it informs kerberos to locate the nearest kdc, a.k.a. domain controller. Read the docs if you want to hard wire it to a specific kdc). Note that your realms must be ALL CAPS: [libdefaults] default_realm = YOUR.FULLY.QUALIFIED.DOMAIN dns_lookup_realm = true dns_lookup_kdc = true Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf for winbind. Note that I have set the shell to /sbin/nologin to guard against console logins since I have my pam_krb5 configuration in /etc/pam.d/system_auth. Also, I had trouble with DNS for some reason on the password server line, so I had to use an IP address. workgroup = yourdomain security = ads idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /sbin/nologin winbind use default domain = yes password server = your_domain_controller realm = YOUR.FULLY.QUALIFIED.DOMAIN client use spnego = yes Add this to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. I highly recommend that you use SSL to protect your domain passwords from being sent across the network in plain text (Note that statuswrl.cgi will not load in Internet Explorer when using SSL, a small price to pay. You should also set up a certificate, which I will not delve into here.): LoadModule auth_pam_module modules/mod_auth_pam.so SSLProtocol -all +SSLv2 SSLVerifyClient none Also, add a nagios.conf to your /etc/httpd/conf.d/ to configure authentication and disregard the instructions that come with nagios for configuring web authorization (they are somewhat outdated): ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ Options ExecCGI AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from x.x.x.x/x ;your subnet(s) AuthType Basic AuthName "Nagios Web Access" Require user your_domain_users ;(or use 'require group', read the docs) AuthPAM_Enabled on AuthPAM_FallThrough off SSLCipherSuite -all:SSLv2:+HIGH Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share/ Options None AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from x.x.x.x/x ;your subnet(s) AuthType Basic AuthName "Nagios Web Access" Require user your_domain_users AuthPAM_Enabled on AuthPAM_FallThrough off SSLCipherSuite -all:SSLv2:+HIGH Edit /etc/pam.d/httpd to enable kerberos authentication with pam. Something similar to this will work: #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_krb5.so auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_krb5.so account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and modify the following lines: passwd: files winbind shadow: files winbind group: files winbind Now you must join your linux box to your directory and test your configuration. See chapter 6 of the Official Samba-3 HOWTO for more information (http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-membe r.html#ads-member). You will also probably want to set up ntp so that your time stays synchronized. In a nutshell, do the following: service winbind restart service nscd restart killall -HUP httpd getent passwd ;you will see domain accounts scrolling off of the screen if this works getent group net ads join -U your_domain_administrator_account kinit your_dom_admin at YOUR.REALM net ads join "your_organizational_unit" Check to make sure you now have a computer account in your OU and that you now have a kerberos ticket: klist tickets Finally, test your authentication into nagios with your web browser (https://yourserver/nagios). If it fails, pay close attention to /var/log/messages and the httpd server logs for clues on what is going wrong. If you encounter errors during the process, double check everything and keep trying. Good luck!

Given the following timeline: - Scheduled downtime begins for a service - Nagios receives a non-OK passive check result for the service - Scheduled downtime for that service ends When will nagios check to see if it needs to send a notification for this still-down service? The docs say that a notification will go out after notification_interval if: (1) a notification was already sent out about a problem with the host or service at some point in the past and (2) the host or service has remained in the same non-OK state that it was when the last notification went out. There was no original notification (due to the scheduled downtime). So how does this work?

Earlier today, we started getting: "Nagios problem: located 3 processes, status log updated 1565 seconds ago" Everytime it ran, it was the same output with a longer time that it wasn't updated. This was working fine before where the status log would be updated usually no longer than 8 seconds ago. I checked the status.log and status.sav and confirmed that they hadn't updated. I restarted nagios but I still had the same problem. Even though none of the partitions were running out of space, I deleted archived logs and restarted nagios but same problem. I did some more troubleshooting without any luck. Long story short, I rebooted the RH9 box it was running on and nagios started running again. Anyone have an idea of what could've happened and things I could check? This is the first time this has ever happened as far as I know. The recent changes we made were just setting up one new host to monitor so we edited hosts.cfg, hostgroups.cfg and services.cfg but nagios restarted without error. I even took out those changes and restarted nagios but still had the same problem. One thing I noticed was our service-perfdata.out is 790 MB. Can I delete this and nagios will create a new one? I'm not sure it's the problem since it's still that big and nagios is running now but it doesn't seem like I want that file to get that big. What kind of maintenance should I be performing on nagios? We've had it running for over a year and we haven't really did any kind of cleanup on it.

In addition to the PAM method in someone else's response, if you only need to to authenticate against AD for Nagios access (i.e. via Apache) there's an LDAP authentication module or two available which you can use. I'm using this with Apache 2 on a Debian (testing) system with mod_auth_ldap v2.12, compiled with OpenLDAP TLS. You might also want to look at the newer version. In the Directory configuration block for Apache: AuthName "Network monitoring" AuthType Basic LDAP_Debug off LDAP_Server dc.myco.internal LDAP_Port 389 LDAP_Persistent off LDAP_Protocol_Version 3 Bind_DN "CN=LDAP_User,OU=Service Accounts,DC=myco,DC=internal" Bind_Pass "xxxxxxxxxxxx" Base_DN "OU=Staff,DC=myco,DC=internal" LDAP_StartTLS on AuthOnBind off Bind_Tries 1 UID_Attr userPrincipalName UID_Attr_Alt sAMAccountName require valid-user I've got LDAP_Persistent off, as I think it caused me problems when it was enabled. The Bind_DN gives the distinguished name of an account it can use to do the initial searching; I think it's possible to set up your domain to allow anonymous searches but you might not want to do that. Bind_Pass gives the password for this account, so you'll want to make sure only authorised people get to read this config file, and the Base_DN sets where the search takes place in the Active Directory tree. The UID_Attr gives the property that is used to find a match when a user goes to log in, i.e. what they type in the Username field. The UID_Attr_Alt is exported into the environment as LDAP_USER_ALT, which might be useful if you want to hack the CGI's to use this instead of whatever you're using for the UID_Attr. Hope some of this is helpful. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

What information do you want to get from running the check. For example do you know what kind of parameters you want to give check_nt, and what do you want to receive back from the check. So I still need to decide what the event log monitoring in NC_Net should do. Any suggestions are welcome. As for the actual programming of it into NC_Net it should not be too bad to get done, once the details of what do do are determined. after it is added to NC_Net it should also be added to Check_Nt. I know the Memory size of NC_Net seems kind of big compared to nsclient the main reason for this is due to the loading of the virtual machine since it is implemented in C#. C# with the Dot Net Framework seems to be much more similar to Java than to C++ and this is the main cause of the memory load. Its memory footprint seems to stay between 8 to 15 Megs.(usually loading higher.) There might be little that can be done to reduce the memory footprint due to the limitations of C# compiler. This was one of the trade offs in implementing it in C#. For example I have one server that receives 7 active checks and uses 8 megs of memory while a second server that receives only 4 active checks is using 14 Megs. Both servers are running the same version of NC_Net however the server using less memory is win2k while the one using more is Server 2003.

To your service-perfdata.out. If you don't need any performance data, you can switch perfmormance data logging of. Depending on your performance command definition, you can simply delete it. I don't know, if you have changed that command. Look into misccomands.cfg, there it is located by standard. > > What kind of maintenance should I be performing on nagios?

I'd still suggest something like swatch/sec to process the log and pass passive checks into Nagios. It has some good points: - nearer to real time - log files aren't scanned each time - fits in with using a central log server such as syslog-ng very well - you could correlate events if you use sec - can use it for things other than providing alarms for Nagios.

I've got a selfwritten plugin, which checks some Files on an remote Server. I configured max_check_attempts 3, to avoid false alarms, when the Plugin times out or something. I also configured, that the plugin should only send a notification, when the Status gets CRITICAL, because I got some WARNING STATES, where it's important to see on the Web GUI, that the State is Warning, but I don't want to get a email for that ;) Now the Prob: When the check is in WARNING State, the check attempt is always 3/3 after a few checks. Then the Plugin times out, and voila, I get an email, with Plugin timed out after 10 secs :-/ Is there a possibility to reset the check_attempts counter, so the Plugin gets from WARNING HARD 3/3 to CRITICAL SOFT 1/3 and not directly to CRITICAL HARD 3/3 ??? Problem is, that the Mails are send directly to our customers, and they are always pretty cunfused about those Plugin timed out Mails ... Thanks in advance!

For example, at present on a test platform I have: Host Status Totals: Up 175 Down 3 Unreachable 0 Pending 0 All Problems 3 All Types 178 However, filtering on host status type "Down" by clicking that link gives "0 Matching Service Entries Displayed". This is true... none of the hosts it's monitoring are actually down. Looking at status.c I can't see where this counting error is coming from: else if(temp_hoststatus->status==HOST_DOWN){ total_down++; and doesn't change the value of total_down anywhere else. Has anyone seen this behaviour, or is anyone able to suggest where I look to track down this bug?

E.G. In check_win_eventlog it only says: "Found 5 Errors. Last was ID 999: blablabla", and it would be nice to have at least the Ids of those Events in the Notification, like "5 Errors with ID: 3;666;443;123;999, LAST - ID 999: blablabla" That's all i have for now :) Thanks in advance!!!

In addition to the PAM method in someone else's response, if you only need to to authenticate against AD for Nagios access (i.e. via Apache) there's an LDAP authentication module or two available which you can use. I'm using this with Apache 2 on a Debian (testing) system with mod_auth_ldap v2.12, compiled with OpenLDAP TLS. You might also want to look at the newer version. In the Directory configuration block for Apache: AuthName "Network monitoring" AuthType Basic LDAP_Debug off LDAP_Server dc.myco.internal LDAP_Port 389 LDAP_Persistent off LDAP_Protocol_Version 3 Bind_DN "CN=LDAP_User,OU=Service Accounts,DC=myco,DC=internal" Bind_Pass "xxxxxxxxxxxx" Base_DN "OU=Staff,DC=myco,DC=internal" LDAP_StartTLS on AuthOnBind off Bind_Tries 1 UID_Attr userPrincipalName UID_Attr_Alt sAMAccountName require valid-user I've got LDAP_Persistent off, as I think it caused me problems when it was enabled. The Bind_DN gives the distinguished name of an account it can use to do the initial searching; I think it's possible to set up your domain to allow anonymous searches but you might not want to do that. Bind_Pass gives the password for this account, so you'll want to make sure only authorised people get to read this config file, and the Base_DN sets where the search takes place in the Active Directory tree. The UID_Attr gives the property that is used to find a match when a user goes to log in, i.e. what they type in the Username field. The UID_Attr_Alt is exported into the environment as LDAP_USER_ALT, which might be useful if you want to hack the CGI's to use this instead of whatever you're using for the UID_Attr. Hope some of this is helpful. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

What version of nagios are you running? Nagios 1.x sometimes had trouble with several processes running (the init-script is a bit flawed, so it won't detect it).

Incidentally, the short answer to your question would be to change "mysql.h" to (or possibly just , depending on where your system installs the header files). If this is from the default plugin distribution, you should just download the latest beta and re-run the ./configure script after having installed MySQL-devel and all of its dependencies. > Regards, > > Jaya > > > -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

If it matters, I am using check_by_ssh, not nrpe. :-( > It will pass through two shells. If you want to escape the pipe, you need to triple-escape it (escape one of the escapes as well). Original command line: blahblah "\"WARNING|NOTICE\"" (ok) when nagios runs the command: "WARNING|NOTICE" (still ok) when ssh runs the command: WARNING|NOTICE (not ok). Another example: WARNING\|NOTICE (ok) When nagios runs it WARNING|NOTICE (not ok) So we add a new level of escaping: WARNING\\|NOTICE (not ok) The Original \ will escape the second one which will be interpreted literally, leaving the | unescaped. So we try: WARNING\\\|NOTICE (ok) When nagios runs it: WARNING\|NOTICE (ok) When ssh runs it: WARNING|NOTICE (not ok) So another level of escaping then. Each new 'end' level of escaping obviously requires to slashes, so that lands us with: WARNING\\\\\|NOTICE (ok) nagios runs: WARNING\\\|NOTICE (ok) SSH runs: WARNING\|NOTICE (ok) So, a quintuple escape of the pipe would be what you need. PS. Nagios actually runs the command with all the escapes. It's the shell (which is always invoked when using the popen() call) that removes them (uses them, really) as they go along. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

If it matters, I am using check_by_ssh, not nrpe. :-( That actually works to your advantage. NRPE disallows several shell metacharaters so it is impossible to send anything beyond the simplest regex as a NRPE argument. To get around this I had wrote a wrapper to base64-encode the regex arguments before passing them to NRPE and modified the plugin to decode it before using it as a regex. -Jason Martin -- When money talks there are few interruptions.

Your nrpe.cfg command listed here doesn't have ANY arguments shown for cycle_tomcat. Assuming that you're using nrpe's original configuration, it doesn't accept any arguments while 'calling' nrpe from your nagios server (security issues abound, i.e. dont_blame_nrpe=1). Therefore, if cycle_tomcat needs any parameters, you need to list them along with the script path/name. Here is one of my nrpe.cfg commands: command[check_fsdisk4]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /dev/sde1 In services.cfg it is simply called with: check_nrpe!check_fsdisk4 I don't put any parameters in the services.cfg file, just in the nrpe.cfg file.

Well....it turned out to be a combination of the two solutions...using single quotes AND escaping the pipe (but just once)... check_by_ssh -l user -i ../.ssh/identity -H hostname -C "/opt/nagios/libexec/check_log2.pl -l /var/adm/messages -s /var/tmp/message.nagios-seek -p 'WARNING\|NOTICE'" That's double quotes around the whole command and single quotes around the regex, with the pipe escaped.

I think I know what the problem is now, but need help in how to correct it. I specified in nrpe.cfg the command as command[cycle_tomcat]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/cycle_tomcat OK and put an echo statement inside OK and it came back with the response. Same with the rest of the states, except for the state in which the actual restart code is implemented, then the socket does a 10 second time out. So from that I gather I am incorrectly specifiying the command when arguments need to be accepted. The command I was using is command[cycle_tomcat]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/cycle_tomcat $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ and with don't blame nrpe on, and specifying arguments on the command line with check nrpe [root at triad8 plugins]# ./check_nrpe -H devweb1 -c cycle_tomcat OK Replies back with the statement in OK ./check_nrpe -H devweb1 -c cycle_tomcat CRITICAL HARD 2 Replies back with the statement in OK If I specify the command check as Command[cycle_tomcat]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/cycle_tomcat CRITICAL SOFT 3 I get back the socket timeout. So I can state the exact command, and I think it's running but time's out, so I believe there are two issues. Am I setting arugments correctly inside nrpe.cfg for an event handler. And is there a way to set the timeout as longer. I just found that there is, so I'll try that specifying the command explicitly. And that seemed to work. So... How do you set up arguments when using an event handler, I thought it was $ARG1$ Thank you very much for your help Lewis. > -----Original Message----- > From: Lewis Getschel [mailto:lgetschel at denver.westerngeco.slb.com] > Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 1:02 PM > To: Nathan Oyler > Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: FW: [Nagios-users] NRPE: Unable to read output - Plugin(event > handler) > > Nathan- > If I'm following you (which I may not be)... > > Your nrpe.cfg command listed here doesn't have ANY arguments shown for > cycle_tomcat. > > Assuming that you're using nrpe's original configuration, it doesn't > accept any arguments while 'calling' nrpe from your nagios server > (security issues abound, i.e. dont_blame_nrpe=1). > Therefore, if cycle_tomcat needs any parameters, you need to list them > along with the script path/name.

To your service-perfdata.out. If you don't need any performance data, you can switch perfmormance data logging of. Depending on your performance command definition, you can simply delete it.

This is a 'user experience' check, which takes a script and simulates a user by retrieving a web page, clicking on links, submitting forms, and so on. It preserves parameters and cookies so that it can be used to follow dynamic pages such as a store, or our PeopleSoft system. I have not been able to find any existing Nagios plugin to give this functionality. If anyone has ever used SiteScope, it is similar in functionality to the web site checks that package is capable of. It can also run in MRTG-mode and return data that can be fed directly into a MRTG system for response time graphing. It's not yet ready for official release, but anyone interested in trying it out and giving their opinion, please email me for a copy.

So in my environment, which is passive only for scalability reasons, if a host goes down and stays down the only checks that will ever trigger notifications are pings (as they run centrally) and freshness checks. So in order to do reboot monitoring, my choices are limited (without writing active agents). I _think_ this should work - comments? - On shutdown, start 30 minute (tweak to taste) scheduled downtime for Ping (so ping won't whine about the rebooting host being down) - On shutdown, send a passive Reboot_Down CRIT, but Reboot_Down doesn't notify anyone - On startup, send a passive Reboot_Up CRIT. Reboot_Up depends on Reboot_Down, so if the server was shut down cleanly, no notification will go out. - On startup, send a passive Reboot_Up OK followed by a Reboot_Down OK - Reboot_Up and Reboot_Down have freshness checks disabled. I'd cancel the downtime if I could on startup, but there's no good way to get the downtime ID remotely. I could write an agent that runs on the nagios server if I decided I really cared. So on a normal reboot, no alarms. On a reboot that never comes back, ping will alarm after the downtime ends. On an abnormal reboot, Reboot_Up will alarm (as Reboot_Down will be OK (or Unknown)). -- Carson ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

At least my last experiments were not very succesful. I sugest, that you start configuring nagios by hand. So you practise your theoretical knowledge about nagios and your basics about nagios get well grounded. Later on, if you have 20+ hosts you can think about a config-tool again.

The very needed configuration is supportet. Extended Configuration is imho not supported. If you look into this list archive, there was often the advice, to use manual configuration.

The idea of scheduled downtime is to do this sort of thing. If you want to add a script submitting a 5 minute (or something) downtime whenever you run reboot, then by all means feel free. If you make it clean I'm sure lots of other users would be interested. I don't think it's a very good idea to keep that logic in the Nagios daemon though, as it can never possibly guess if a host has been shut down or crashed, so I don't quite see the point of this email.

With all due respect, I seriously doubt that you are quite competent enough to make your plugin work if you aren't experienced enough to solve simple linking issues like these. The solution to your problem is to link the object file of check_dummy1 with the object file of the utils.c file. gcc can do this on the fly for you so you don't necessarily have to run gcc -c on both the files first, but if you intend to make changes to one but not both of the files I would recommend you to compile the other into object form first. For more information, run man gcc; man ld on any GNU system and read the relevant parts of both. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Solaris uses system v run levels. Create a startup script in /etc/init.d and link to the appropriate run level. E.g.

Sorry I don't run it that way so I cannot help you there. I'd imagine it's more efficient to run as a daemon rather than have it go through inetd, but couldn't say this definitively.

Like so (in pseudo-code); pid = getpid(); append_to_file(lockfile, pid); while(1) { running_check = readfirstline(lockfile); if(running_check == pid) { status = do_the_checking(); } else sleep_some(); /* to keep from using 100% CPU */ } delete_pidline_from(lockfile); exit(status); Whatever you do, don't write it in shell.

Message-ID: <59B15593F41BD24591D59436E7226EAD01374742@Khiphx2.khimetrics.com> This is a continuation to the previous problems I've been having. I have created an event handler to restart a service on a remote machine. I am calling the execution of the event handler through check_nrpe using the -c flag. The script runs fine on the server when run from the nagios user. The script starts fine if run through check_nrpe but dies half way through execution. I have the timeout set high, and it is not timing out. An strace of the command being run through check_nrpe shows a broken pipe halfway through execution. The script runs small things fine. Here I'm using sleep commands, and it takes a while for the whole thing to go, and again I'm getting a broken pipe. First, Is check_nrpe intended to run event handlers in this manner. Second, Would there be anything in the code of check_nrpe to fail if a given time frame was too long? I get the same error on 2 different check_nrpe plugins. I'm calling it explicitly with arguments, so the Nagios server is irrelevant. I can send the whole strace if you'd like, but it's incredibly large. Anything you could do to assist would be greatly appreciated. My intention is if I cannot get this working, I'll probably move to calling the script via an event handler on the Nagios server through ssh commands with keys. I'd rather not do this, as this is my understanding to how event handlers should be called. I do not have a very good understanding of strace output, and had someone else do the digging through it, but here's the part that he pointed to.

Somewhere in your nagios config is a stanza: define command { command_name check_nrpe [...] } That is the part I'm concerned about. You've verified that your NRPE configuration is good by manually executing check_nrpe. -Jason Martin -- On a scale of 1 to 10, 4 is about 7.

Care to clarify? I'll try again (3rd time lucky? ;-) ). We need: - Alarms when machines reboot unexpectedly - Alarms when machines fail to come back after a reboot - No alarms during normal scheduled reboots Scheduled downtime is great, except for one thing - if any alarms are received during scheduled downtime, no notifications go out. Ever. Even after downtime has ended. This is a result of the design decision to only see if notifications are required when receiving a new check result. As the only "pull" monitor in my environment is Ping, it's the only thing I can safely schedule downtime against (ignoring freshness checks for now). This is only really an issue when trying to get a "failed to reboot" alarm. I finally gave up, and just have the Ping service alarm if a reboot fails (as opposed to a more specific alarm). If you re-read my previous message, the only logic on the central nagios server is some basic dependency logic to prevent false alarms - all the work is done on the client in an init script (which submits passive check results and schedules downtime via an in-house queueing agent to Nagios' named pipe). It does work, I was just asking for opinions about it (as it seems a bit complex for my tastes). And yes, I fully understand freshness checks - they're wonderful for continuously monitored services, but don't really work for reboots (unless you have your agent constantly send "Reboot OK" status msgs while the machine is up), as they are hopefully rare events ;-) -- Carson ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

When logged into the Nagios web interface as a user that does not have rights to view 'everything', the 'Performance Info' link is accessible. This is cool, I think that anyone should be able to see how well the app is working. However, while the page says 'Program-Wide Performance Information' at the top, it appears as though the data in the tables only references the checks for which the user is a contact. Is this by design, or would you consider this a bug? If you are only seeing data pertaining to a portion of the checks, then it really shouldn't be considered 'Program-Wide', right?

But faced a problem in the last step. The problem is as follows. As said, I was trying to install Nagios from the steps given on the above website. Everything went fine but the last step. --------- In order to be able to use Nagios, we need a couple of configuration files. These files go into the etc directory, which will be created when you run the following: root at ducati:~/tmp/nagios/nagios-1.0b5# make install-config --------- Now, when I type this command it gives me the following error message. --------- [root at localhost nagios-2.0b1]# make install-config /usr/bin/install -c -m 775 -o nagios -g nagios -d /usr/local/n agios/etc /usr/bin/install -c -m 664 -o nagios -g nagios sample-config/n agios.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg-sample /usr/bin/install -c -m 664 -o nagios -g nagios sample-config/c gi.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg-sample /usr/bin/install -c -m 660 -o nagios -g nagios sample-config/r esource.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg-sample /usr/bin/install -c -m 664 -o nagios -g nagios sample-config/t emplate-object/checkcommands.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/checkco mmands.cfg-sample /usr/bin/install -c -m 664 -o nagios -g nagios sample-config/t emplate-object/contactgroups.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/contact groups.cfg-sample /usr/bin/install: cannot stat `sample-config/template-object/c ontactgroups.cfg': No such file or directory make: *** [install-config] Error 1 ////ERROR LINE [root at localhost nagios-2.0b1]# ---------- And, it does not finish the last step and thus installation.

General hints: make sure the command works on the command line before using it in the cgi.cfg; this would probably be a post to nagiosplug-help rather than nagios-users.

I cannot get this to work for some odd reason. I am running 2 instances of NAGIOS on 2 FreeBSD with versions 5.1 and 5.2.1. I get the same result from both machines. This is what I have for the value in the cgi.cfg file but this doesn't work. I have tried moving the values around but that didn't seem to make any difference. nagios_check_command=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log -e 5 -C '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg' If I run check_nagios manually from the libexec/ I can only get it to work with this string - nagios# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log -e 5 -C /usr Nagios ok: located 9 processes, status log updated 2 seconds ago If I run it again with this variable or other variables I get the Could not find a running Nagios process! nagios# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log -e 5 -C /usr/local Could not locate a running Nagios process! I tried putting the values for the string that worked in the cgi.cfg file but still didn't work I thought it may be a rights issue, so I added the www user in the nagios group to see if that would make any difference. But it didn't. If there is anyone out there that can point me in the right direction for a solution I would be very grateful.

Nagios handles the host when it comes out of scheduled downtime, so there's no real reason it shouldn't check what the status was prior to downtime and match against current upon a host exiting.

J?nner 2005 16:05 An: 'nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' Betreff: [Nagios-users] More sophistic notification Hello I've one question. Is Nagios capable to give more sophisticated notifications ? What I mean ? Let's example. I'm monitoring on one machine few values ( cpu, memory , proccesses etc) There are plugins in Nagios which can monitor these values and send notifications if values are out of normal (warning, critical state). But I'd like to get only one notification if group of measure values are in critical state. To my example, one group of my measures values on one machine are: CPUload, MEM, Proccesses. So I'd like to get notification when all of these values are in critical state, not only two. The first purpose of this is that 2 values on one machine in critical state doesn't' have to be problem, but 4 or five is problem. The second purpose is to avoid to get false alarms cause CPU in critical state could be a normal in some environment and when you'll get hundreds notifications per day you will probably ignore it. So is this possible to define some group of alarms and on the basis of theme to send notification that host is in critical state cause all of measure values are in critical state?

Perhaps check_cluster2 is a solution for your problem. Otherwise you could wrap some plugins and build so a "cluster wrapper" plugin on yourself. These were only ideas, I don't need something like this, yet.

What you propose CAN be done. Nagios checks are scripts that are run, some with parameters, that output one of four exit states (CRITICAL, WARNING, UNKNOWN and OK), and maybe other things. If you can write a script that outputs one of those 4 exit states, you can do anything in Nagios. In your example, you want to write a script that calls the checks for CPU/load, memory, and processes. It should remember the exit value for each, and after the third check it should output one exit code for all three -- for instance, if 2 or 3 checks return critical then your overall check should be critical. There are many permutations, too -- when do you go WARNING -- when 2 or 3 are warning? or when 1 is critical? etc. Anyway, I'd suggest writing the ubercheck to run all 3 checks, and then configure nagios to only use the ubercheck (that one will call all 3 checks). This is all in the documentation. I don't know if it's a FAQ, but it probably should be. (ie, "Is there a check that. . . ?) -Sheeri Kritzer Systems Administrator University Systems Group Tufts University 617-627-3925 sheeri.kritzer at tufts.edu Quoting "Jevos, Peter" : > > Hello > I've one question.

Any comments would be appreciated. Nagios does this by default as long as you have a host check_command that will return CRITICAL or UNREACHABLE when the host is down. Service dependencies are designed to tie together different services on the same machine or services on different machines. For example, a web site check and the HTTP service that it depends on. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

I presume that when you execute the latter command you might get an unexpected response. If so, you need to fix your srv resource records on your DNS server to allow TCP. BTW, are you using DNS from your Windows 2003 Servers or from another source? Make sure you have only one kinit on your system.

However, I "rolled my own" because I didn't want to make multiple ssh connections to check for multiple processes. Mine takes a list of commands and returns "OK" if they are all running, or CRITICAL if one or more are not running (it also tells you which ones are not running). check_procs is much more flexible if you are checking on just one process. I'll attach it here, feel free to hack on it, just let me know how you improved upon it. :-) Hope this helps, Emmett Jon Lyons wrote: >Is there a plugin that can check to see if process >xxxxx is running on a unix machine?(Ie. ps ax|grep >xxxx) I'd like to combine it with a remote ssh check, >but I haven't found a plugin, thought I'd check before >writing something... > >Thanks.. > > -- ================ Examen, Inc. ================ Emmett Hogan Senior UNIX Administrator emmetth at examen.com ==== Outside Counsel Management Solutions ==== CONFIDENTIAL - PRIVILEGED INFORMATION This e-mail may include confidential, trade secret or legally privileged information.

I am using krb5-workstation-1.3.6-2, samba-client-3.0.10-1, and pam_krb5-2.1.2-1. krb5 1.2.7 might be problematic. You may want to upgrade this package.

I've also found the host check macro substitution, used as we do nrpe-based host checks through a slave node, also breaks, so that if services go down, the host is sometimes noted as being down, even when it isn't. running the commands from commandline is working fine. let me know if any specific information from the config would help troubleshoot this. to be noted, this is moving an install with thousands of hosts/services to 2.0b1, so we know all of this was working in the configs in the earlier release. -chris lalor - mtv networks On Fri, 7 Jan 2005, Thomas Zehetbauer wrote: > Hi, > > it seems that 2.0b1 broke expansion of undefined macros.

In my environment the returned size > was factor 10 to big. I don't know why. I think the source of the problem is the counter that you are checking. The counter that matches the memory usage in Task manager should be "Working Set" not "Virtual Bytes". See the descriptions of the perfomance counters. IF you are usign NC_Net it has a perfamance counter viewer that you can start throught the start menu. This tool allows you to view the description of each Counter Categroy as well as the description of each counter. It also reports the value that NC_Net would retrieve in the lower left corner of the tool. here is the description of virtual bytes from The perfomance counters description: Virtual Bytes is the current size, in bytes, of the virtual address space the process is using. Use of virtual address space does not necessarily imply corresponding use of either disk or main memory pages. Virtual space is finite, and the process can limit its ability to load libraries.

So it both tells you that notifications are part of the check logic, and it tells you that notifications can only occur when there is a state change. State can only change as the result of a check. So I get that you didn't put grasp the obvious, but it's a bit of a stretch to say that this isn't documented. > environment, which is passive only for scalability reasons, if a host goes > down and stays down the only checks that will ever trigger notifications > are pings (as they run centrally) and freshness checks. > > So in order to do reboot monitoring, my choices are limited (without > writing active agents).

I'm sure you can make this work, but it's definitely the long way around. I'd re-examine your prohibition against active checks, because you're effectively writing active monitoring support, and it requires both more extra code/complexity and more resources than just using normal ping checks and scheduled downtime. -- Joe Rhett Senior Geek Meer.net ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Message-ID: <60b4a87c050108221812aaca74@mail.gmail.com> Hello All, I am a Masters student in Electrical Engg. And I am working on a masters project which involves use of Nagios. To be more precise, I'll be working on Esensors' Energy Meter monitoring project during next 4-6 months. Now, I just wanted to know is it possible to install Nagios in a PC without really connecting it to the web or net. I mean just isolated/standalond installation of Nagios. I just want to have an idea of working of Nagios, so that accoring I can work on my project. So far, assuming that it is possible to install Nagios, I downloaded the latest file nagios-2.0b1.tar.gz and I guess I installed it properly. I am not sure if its done perfectly or not, as I am not sure how to check that. Next I tried to install the plug ins file nagiosplug 1.4-beta1. But could not install it properly. I already have posted the problem in detail yesterday here only. So, Andreas Ericsson suggested the following solution. (Thanks Andreas!!!) ----- This is a known problem. Try downloading the CVS head of the plugins, and pray the developers don't put this kind of easy-to-find bugs in the next release. ----- However, I am not sure where to and how to install CVS and how to integrate it with the plugins.

If you'd care to re-write Nagios in such a way that it can scale to 10,000 hosts using active checks, I'd be more than happy to use it. Sadly, the current 1 fork (and an exec for non embedded perl checks) per data point just doesn't scale well. The extra resources required in this case are all on the client, not on the Nagios server(s). -- Carson ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

No, if the server stays down, Ping will alarm as soon as scheduled downtime expires (+ 0 to ping interval additional time). If the server comes back up enough to respond to ICMP echo requests, but does not complete booting, all the service checks will alarm due to freshness checks (assuming you have something being monitored on that host). -- Carson ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

When you schedule downtime for a host, anything that happens during that time is fair game and is ignored for purposes of notification (that's why its in downtime). When downtime ends, Nagios will not notify about a problem that happened during that downtime - that's what downtime was for.

Ah well, I have a solution that works. I'm not thrilled with it, but it handles every corner case I can think of. And will scale to a very large number of hosts. Is anyone else here using Nagios to monitor >1000 hosts? My target (right now) is 2k hosts per monitoring server, and a total of about 12k hosts monitored. Once I've finished rolling this out, and have better performance data, I'll be writing it up and will post a link here.

You need to quote the URL; i.e. check_http ... -u 'http://foo.com/?foo=bar&bar=baz' would work. For Nagios, modify the check command to have quotes around the argument that represents the URL and it should be fine. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Here's what happened: The partition, where the nagios user lives was filled up to 100 %. Nagios stopped working (the process was still running, though). No problem I thought. I increased the partition size and restarted nagios. But instead of starting nagios simply throw a core dump. After searching, I found out, that this happened because of the "status.sav" file, which was written incomplete to the disk. So I moved it out of the way and nagios was happy again. After deleting the incomplete entry and moving it back nagios started up normal. It might be, that this behaviour might be present in the 1.x branch also, but I did not check it.

Message-ID: <49977F7CEA035C46A2D47108CE0F032F014121@ANGELIA.aegon.com> Hi fellow Nagios users, I have a problem thats driving me insane - its probably a tiny thing I'm overlooking and maybe someone can point me into the right direction. We have an installation of Nagios 1.2 monitoring ~30 servers and lots of services. I had setup SMS notification in the past via an email-to-sms provider and that worked fine. Now we have purchased an GPRS modem to send our own SMS. I have a shell script that can send SMS, and I'm trying to get Nagios to trigger it. However, nothing happens. Therefore, I tried to simplify the setup for easy debugging, and it seems that one notification just isn't triggered while another one is. This is my test setup (showing relevant excerpts from the config files below): services.cfg: define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name nemesis service_description Internal Diagnostics is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups sms_test notification_interval 2400 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r check_command diag } contactgroups.cfg: define contactgroup{ contactgroup_name sms_test alias SMS Test members sms_carsten } contacts.cfg: define contact{ contact_name sms_carsten alias Carsten Schmitz - SMS MDM service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_options c,r host_notification_options d,u,r service_notification_commands diag_out,notify-by-sms-mdm host_notification_commands host-notify-by-sms-mdm email devnull at mydomain.com pager my_cellular_number } (note: my_cellular_number is of course a placeholder, it has my real numeric number in the actual file) misccommands.cfg: define command{ command_name notify-by-sms-mdm command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/alert_sms_mdm $CONTACTPAGER$ "$SERVICEDESC$\n$HOSTNAME$ - $HOSTALIAS$\n$HOSTADDRESS$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$OUTPUT$\n$DATETIME$" } define command{ command_name diag_out command_line echo $CONTACTPAGER$ "$SERVICEDESC$\n$HOSTNAME$ - $HOSTALIAS$\n$HOSTADDRESS$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$OUTPUT$\n$DATETIME$" > /tmp/nagios_diag_out.out } "diag" is just a dummy script that exits with return code 0 or 1 at my liking, so that I can easily trigger a Nagios alert. It also writes a log file. "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/alert_sms_mdm" is the SMS script that also writes a log file. "diag_out" just writes a file in /tmp for seeing if Nagios triggers a notification, and for seeing what the output after variable expansion looks like. I have "reloaded" nagios and the config check went just fine. What works: I can see in the "diag" log file that the check itself is being triggered by nagios. I can see in /tmp/nagios_diag_out.out that the "diag_out" misccommand (first notification) has been run I can take the output from Nagios from the /tmp/nagios_diag_out.out file (same as the output for "notify-by-sms-mdm" would be) and pass it on the shell to the SMS script and I get an SMS (and a log file entry that notify-by-sms-mdm has been run). What fails: I do not receive an SMS (or a log file entry saying that it called notify-by-sms-mdm) when the Nagios alert is triggered. I'm sure this is not a bug but me overlooking a tiny detail somewhere ... if someone among the fellow Nagios using community spots the problem, I'd be very grateful for a hint. Thanks!

But digging a bit more, I found two permission problems that were the cause of all this - the logfile for the SMS script was owned by my user and 755 (thats why I wouldn't see the log entries by the nagios user ID I was expecting), and nagios was not member of group UUCP (and /dev/ttyS0 was writable only to root and UUCP members therefore I didn't get the SMS). Stupid me :( So I'm happy to say my problem is solved - many thanks for the input! > Most (all?) GSM modems need a spooling mechanism since they usually > can't handle more than one message at the time. True. Thats why I first looked at smsd (smstools-1.14.8.tar) but couldn't get it to work with my Wavecom M-1206B-ON modem (haven't spent much time though, still hoping). Currently I'm using gsmsendsms, a sample program for gsmlib-1.10.tar, which works just fine.

Can't you read the documentation? If you have problems on reading the nagios docu, I want give you some tips: - print it out (try to use a color laser printer to see the red entries) - read it carefully and completly - take a sheet of paper - write down your config on that sheet of paper - check your config against your printed manual Sorry, but I(we) can't help you anymore further, if you don't even understand the manual.

In the contacts.cfg, for each contact the host_notification_commands and service_notification_commands are not mandatory. So you could have your network admins with host_notification_commands and your DBAs with service_notification_commands only (unless there are other machines where the network admins need to monitor services as well). But this is probably a dirty hack and would be asking for trouble. The way I do it (using Nagios 1.2, and having the quote "Nagios is a service monitor, not a host monitor" ringing in my ears ;) is to have a service "Ping" defined for every host, which alerts all the net admins via a contact group when the machine stops responding to ICMP (usually meaning: its dead). Whatever command/method you may be using for the host check, you could probably turn it into a service check and enjoy contact group flexibility.

We've been running for a while now with stellar success (after a few idiosyncracies were dealth with). Now, this past weekend, we ran into the following: On Saturdays from 5pm-10pm, we do not monitor a particular service (DMS) because the back-end is down for weekly maintenance. So we have a check_period defined that allows monitoring all day M-F, all day Sunday, and from 00:00-17:00,22:00-24:00 on Saturday. This works great. But here's what happened. I've included the Nagios logs for anyone that wants to take a look. At 16:27, DMS was not running. Nagios turns SOFT CRITICAL and fires off an event handler (which, internally, does nothing becuase this is not a HARD CRITICAL). At 17:28, it does this again - now we're on SOFT CRITICAL #2. At 16:29, it does it again, but because we've gone HARD CRITICAL, the EKrestart event handler actually does something and starts the service. Notification is sent out now as well. 10 minutes later (the normal_check_interval) DMS is seen to be running and we go back into a HARD OK. This cycle happens again at 16:49, and the process repeats up to that last check. At this point, at 16:51 is when the service went HARD CRITICAL and the event handler does the restart. At 17:00 we go into a downtime window, and the service is in a 3/3 HARD CRTICIAL state. Note that the next check would have been approximately 17:01, but since it's in a downtime, it skips this check. You'd think that it would pick it up after the donwtime, which starts up at 22:00. So the next check should be 22:01 (give or take). But Nagios never does this check. The logs show that it wasn't until 23:10 that someone forced a check via the command interface. In the meantime, after the downtime window is complete, it does do notifications, but it never does another check. And, to make it weirder, when the check is forced, it doesn't immediately report back a status, but it's as if it restarts the normal_check_interval timer, because it's 10 minutes later, at 23:21, that the service has a result (HARD OK), showing that someone had gone ahead and restarted DMS outside the context of Nagios. To sum up, it looks as if there is a bug when a service enters an outage window in a HARD CRITICAL state, it does not start to check the service when the outage window expires. Even when a forced check was performed, all it seems to have done is restart the normal_check_interval timer. Anyone else see anything like this? The timeline major events: 16:49 - critical 1/3 SOFT 16:50 - critical 2/3 SOFT 16:51 - critical 3/3 HARD, event handler restarts DMS 17:00 - check_period is no longer valid (downtime) 22:00 - check_period is now valid (no more downtime) 22:00 - notification sent of service down 22:20 - notification sent of service down 22:40 - notification sent of service down 22:50 - notification sent of service down 23:00 - notification sent of service down 23:10 - service check forced by hand 23:21 - service check returns HARD OK state 23:21 - recovery sent via email Raw logs: Sat Jan 8 16:27:31 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently running.

Message-ID: Hello everybody. I am running Nagios 1.2b and 2.01 at two separate locations. Both on Redhat 7.3 The issue I am running into is a large number of false alerts, which due to the nature of what we are monitoring. (In reality they are real alerts but they immediately recover - Nagios is working to well!) We monitor our customers servers who are widely distributed on the net. Most are on DSL, cable or wireless connections. The customers we have on non-dedicated lines are generating real errors whenever they have to reboot a cable modem etc, but they always recover within a few minutes. Our alerts typically read "10:48 Host1 is down" then immediately "10:48 Service xxx is down" (repeat for all services) then followed by "10:48 Host1 is up" followed by "10:48 Service xxx has recovered" (repeat again) Therefore, my question is on the host/service checks can I have it recheck a host/service when a failure occurs after 5 or 10 seconds prior to generating the first alert?

I'm currently running SLES 8 and Nagios 2.01b to monitor 900 routers with only one service (only monitoring PING; I disabled the host checks since I am checking PING) on a P3 1.2Ghz box with 512MB RAM (I know, underpowered). I've made some changes that I thought would speed things up a bit, but they haven't (example: a PING service check exceeded my threshold of 800ms. The next check was scheduled for 20 minutes after the check that found the threshold breach. I then forced a reschedule. After the rescheduled service check found that the threshold was no longer being violated, the service status changed back to OK however the next service check is to be 2 hours in the future. I want that to be a period of minutes, not hours.) Here is my nagios.cfg file: TER-CHECK DELAY METHOD # This is the method that Nagios should use when initially # "spreading out" service checks when it starts monitoring. The # default is to use smart delay calculation, which will try to # space all service checks out evenly to minimize CPU load. # Using the dumb setting will cause all checks to be scheduled # at the same time (with no delay between them)! This is not a # good thing for production, but is useful when testing the # parallelization functionality. # n = None - don't use any delay between checks # d = Use a "dumb" delay of 1 second between checks # s = Use "smart" inter-check delay calculation # x.xx = Use an inter-check delay of x.xx seconds service_inter_check_delay_method=d # MAXIMUM SERVICE CHECK SPREAD # This variable determines the timeframe (in minutes) from the # program start time that an initial check of all services should # be completed.

Set this # value to s (smart) for automatic calculation of the interleave # factor unless you have a specific reason to change it. # s = Use "smart" interleave factor calculation # x = Use an interleave factor of x, where x is a # number greater than or equal to 1. service_interleave_factor=s # HOST INTER-CHECK DELAY METHOD # This is the method that Nagios should use when initially # "spreading out" host checks when it starts monitoring.

I've read the documentation and I think I understand the escalations notification logic. In the second definition notification_interval is set to 0. The documentation says about notification_interval: "If you specify a value of 0 for the interval, Nagios will send the first notification when this escalation definition is valid, but will then prevent any more problem notifications from being sent out for the host." So my previous configuration should prevent any notifications beyond the third. I've merged the two escalations definitions as you suggested: define serviceescalation{ host_name MYHOST service_description MYSERVICE first_notification 0 last_notification 3 contact_groups MYGROUP notification_interval 5 } but I still get notifications after the third one, and this seems normal to me since this just limits the escalation's scope to the first three notifications. After some testing I've found this to be the correct configuration to obtain what I wanted: define serviceescalation { host_name MYHOST service_description MYSERVICE first_notification 0 last_notification 2 contact_groups MYGROUP notification_interval 5 } define serviceescalation { host_name MYHOST service_description MYSERVICE first_notification 3 last_notification 0 contact_groups MYGROUP notification_interval 0 } thanks Luca P.S.: I get your messages twice, is it just me or there's anyone else receiving duplicate messages?

Message-ID: <41E2CD40.7040705@Examen.com> Hi Folks, I *know* this is in the documentation somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere...so please forgive me. :-) I have two questions regarding "Service Check Timeouts".... 1) All my timeouts come back as CRITICAL and result in immediate pages, we occasionally have systems which are pretty loaded and the NAGIOS checks timeout. We'd like those to come through as WARNINGS (so we don't get pages). We are checking everything via "check_by_ssh". 2) I was under the impression that if a host was down, that SERVICE errors were quenched....but that doesn't seem to be the case here. If we take a service down, then suddenly we get inundated with SERVICE "CRITICAL" pages. Am I assuming an incorrect dependency between services and hosts? Again, I am sorry for asking such basic questions....but it's Monday, and we had an extended downtime this weekend...so I am beat.

Message-ID: <20050110172846.C4908BA05@www.prhobbies.com> Greetings to all, I think I'm a little confused about dependencies. I'm running Nagios 1.2 and I have about a dozen hosts and maybe 3 dozen services. I have read all the documentation and I just want to see if my thinking is right or not... Please bare with me as I'm just getting over pneumonia so my thinking might be a little off... 1. Hosts dependencies only effect host checks. So if a host check fails, Nagios will only suppress other HOST checks again that system, not the services on that system? 2. Is it wise to have all services dependant on a check_ping service check? Pros? Cons? I think that's it... Thanks!

"Now, I just wanted to know is it possible to install Nagios in a PC Without really connecting it to the web or net. I mean just isolated/standalone installation of Nagios. I just want to have an idea of working of Nagios, so that according I can work on my project." Yes it is, just make sure you have your system requirements installed on a pc. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/about.html#requirements 2nd question "So far, assuming that it is possible to install Nagios, I downloaded the latest file nagios-2.0b1.tar.gz and I guess I installed it properly.

I already have posted the problem in detail yesterday here only." Before you install nagios create a user called nagios, create a group called nagios, find out what your web server user account is by doing this in the shell grep "^User" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Once you have your users created and identified place them in the group called nagios /usr/sbin/usermod -G nagios webuser /usr/sbin/usermod -G nagios nagios After this is complete Make a directory /usr/local/nagios Download the tar file and extract the file tar -xvzf nagios-2.0b1.tar.gz cd into the directory that the nagios-2.0b1 >From there run the command ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios If all goes well and you have all the system requirements installed you will see a menu of other commands to run. Other commands to run will be make all make install After the make install your ready to go. Just change your directory into /usr/local/nagios Under the nagios subdirectory you will see /bin /etc /share /sbin /var And under these subdirectories you will see files If you get this far you know your install went well. Now getting the process to start is another story but let me know how far you are and I will help you with the rest.

If you'd care to re-write Nagios in such a way that it can scale to 10,000 hosts using active checks, I'd be more than happy to use it. Sadly, the current 1 fork (and an exec for non embedded perl checks) per data point just doesn't scale well. The extra resources required in this case are all on the client, not on the Nagios server(s). -- Carson --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Sun, 09 Jan 2005 03:50:40 -0500 From: Carson Gaspar To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] More on notifications and reboot monitoring --On Saturday, January 08, 2005 2:56 PM -0800 Joe Rhett wrote: > On Thu, Jan 06, 2005 at 05:09:40PM -0500, Carson Gaspar wrote: >> - Alarms when machines reboot unexpectedly > > Your solution only tells you when the system comes far enough back up to > tell you, and it doesn't tell you when the system goes offline and stays. No, if the server stays down, Ping will alarm as soon as scheduled downtime expires (+ 0 to ping interval additional time). If the server comes back up enough to respond to ICMP echo requests, but does not complete booting, all the service checks will alarm due to freshness checks (assuming you have something being monitored on that host). -- Carson --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Sun, 09 Jan 2005 09:27:55 -0500 From: Chris To: Kaushal Patel Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net, nagiosplug-help at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Using Nagios for the first time!!! You are not installing CVS. Andreas is just saying to get the latest and greatest code from CVS and try it. So give the following a try. Go to the following url and download the file called nagios-plugins-HEAD http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot/ Then compile it as per the directions in the archive.

Hello All, I am a Masters student in Electrical Engg. And I am working on a masters project which involves use of Nagios.

If you'd care to re-write Nagios in such a way that it can scale to 10,000 hosts using active checks, I'd be more than happy to use it. Sadly, the current 1 fork (and an exec for non embedded perl checks) per data point just doesn't scale well. The extra resources required in this case are all on the client, not on the Nagios server(s). -- Carson --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Sun, 09 Jan 2005 03:50:40 -0500 From: Carson Gaspar To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] More on notifications and reboot monitoring --On Saturday, January 08, 2005 2:56 PM -0800 Joe Rhett wrote: > On Thu, Jan 06, 2005 at 05:09:40PM -0500, Carson Gaspar wrote: >> - Alarms when machines reboot unexpectedly > > Your solution only tells you when the system comes far enough back up to > tell you, and it doesn't tell you when the system goes offline and stays. No, if the server stays down, Ping will alarm as soon as scheduled downtime expires (+ 0 to ping interval additional time). If the server comes back up enough to respond to ICMP echo requests, but does not complete booting, all the service checks will alarm due to freshness checks (assuming you have something being monitored on that host). -- Carson --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Sun, 09 Jan 2005 09:27:55 -0500 From: Chris To: Kaushal Patel Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net, nagiosplug-help at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Using Nagios for the first time!!! You are not installing CVS. Andreas is just saying to get the latest and greatest code from CVS and try it. So give the following a try. Go to the following url and download the file called nagios-plugins-HEAD http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot/ Then compile it as per the directions in the archive.

This lets them check again (as defined by the retry_check_interval) a few times before notifying. You may also want to set the notification_interval to be something higher than 10 minutes, which means "only notify once every ten minutes (or whatever you set it to), regardless of how many times it has failed in that time." In other words, the answers to your questions on this topic are in the nagios documentation on notifications and configuration.

Importance: Low You need to change the max_check_attempts to be something other than 1 for these services. This lets them check again (as defined by the retry_check_interval) a few times before notifying. You may also want to set the notification_interval to be something higher than 10 minutes, which means "only notify once every ten minutes (or whatever you set it to), regardless of how many times it has failed in that time." In other words, the answers to your questions on this topic are in the nagios documentation on notifications and configuration. At 12:48 PM 1/10/2005, don mccallum wrote: Hello everybody. I am running Nagios 1.2b and 2.01 at two separate locations. Both on Redhat 7.3 The issue I am running into is a large number of false alerts, which due to the nature of what we are monitoring. (In reality they are real alerts but they immediately recover - Nagios is working to well!) We monitor our customers servers who are widely distributed on the net. Most are on DSL, cable or wireless connections. The customers we have on non-dedicated lines are generating real errors whenever they have to reboot a cable modem etc, but they always recover within a few minutes. Our alerts typically read "10:48 Host1 is down" then immediately "10:48 Service xxx is down" (repeat for all services) then followed by "10:48 Host1 is up" followed by "10:48 Service xxx has recovered" (repeat again) Therefore, my question is on the host/service checks can I have it recheck a host/service when a failure occurs after 5 or 10 seconds prior to generating the first alert? Perhaps configuring it to only send an email after the 2nd error condition is seen. Simply double checking prior to generating the alert would be helpful to us.

I believe the standard approach is to write a 'global event handler' that makes the appropriate entries in a database. 2.0's event broker would allow for much tighter (albeit harder to implement) integration. -Jason Martin -- You can't go home again, unless you set $HOME.

If a host is still down after downtime is over, you should set up a host notification (providing you are using active checks) on state DOWN/UNREACHABLE.

Sure it's slow as a dog (>60 sec to bring up the cgi web pages, Dual Xeon 2GHz, 1Gb RAM, SCSI RAID) - we're about to upgrade to 2.0 and I'm expecting to see a fairly massive decrease in response time for the web cgi pages. Nagios has scaled successfully for us, the monitoring process has low latency, most checks get performed within 10 sec of when they were scheduled, and notifications go out lickety-split.

Nagios is very different, both architecturally and from a management and process standpoint. While OpenView is very SNMP oriented, Nagios is more service oriented (i.e. verify that your HTTP service is running and returning valid data) so it's likely not to fit all your requirements without some work or sometimes not at all. Below are some translations to associate your goals with Nagios concepts. There may be other ways to implement each request and these are only the ones that I thought of off the top of my head. > Network Monitoring/Alarm Features: > - Ability to discover and store all IP addresses within the system using > fully qualified DNS names Nagios doesn't auto-discover any hosts or services on it's own but you may be able to use the third party program nmap2nagios to accomplish this. > - Ability to detect if any IP address is down to generate a management > alarm.

Check_snmp can not compare current values against previous values so if you need that functionality you'd need to use a different plugin or create your own (very easy). Nagios can also be configured to accept SNMP alerts with the appropriate addon. The documentation covers this last one. > - Alarm generation based on MIB threshold statistics See above. > - Tools to manage MIBs (MIB browser) and make config changes. There are no addons that support this functionality that I am aware of. A fairly complete list of available configuration front-ends is available at http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Configuration.40.0.html. Some are better than others, YMMV. I think the vast majority of users manage the configs by hand or have created their own management tools based on their specific needs and information stores. > - Graphical interface to organize alarms status indicators Basic functionality presumably.

I believe that many of your questions are even answered on the main "about" page (http://www.nagios.org/about.php). I'm not trying to bust your chops or give you the idea that the Nagios user community is hostile. Its just that I think you'll probably be able to find the answers to your questions in a much quicker fashion if you take a look online for them. As a gesture of goodwill, however, please let me know any remaining question you have after having perused the Nagios site. I'm not going to claim to be an expert, but I believe I should be able to answer most of what you're asking. Thanks, Andrew Yates, George D, GVSOL wrote: > More comparison needed.

If you must use a proxy to get out then you also have to tell check_http to use that proxy. Something like the following should do -- # 'check_caching' command definition define command{ command_name check_caching command_line $USER1$/ check_http -H www.yourtestedsite.com -I ip.of.proxy.host --onredirect follow -p 8080 -wt 20 -ct 30 -to 35 -u http://www.yourtestedsite.com -R \/HTML } Of course www.mytestedsite.com could be a macro argument passed by your service definition ($ARG1$). check_http --help provides more information on specific command line switches. If you don't have to use a proxy to get out then it should just work. Try running the command from the command line as it is defined in your commands.cfg as the user that Nagios runs as. You may see useful error messages that explain the problem. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

The handling of hosts/services that come out of downtime is one of Nagios' most common areas for bugs. Flapping start/stop is another nice area of infinite weirdness. Ufortunately the 1.x branch of Nagios is no longer being actively maintained. Without a clean patch, I can't really see this bug being fixed (unless the 2.x solution applies cleanly to 1.x as well). Development has moved on to Nagios 2.x, which has been pretty stable (not counting the dreadful embedded perl support) for a couple of months now. I'll look in to this for the 2.x branch. I suggest you install 2.0 on a test-system for the time being so you can evaluate the stability for yourself. Run ./configure --disable-event-broker to keep advanced and untested code to a minimum. > > The timeline major events: > > 16:49 - critical 1/3 SOFT > 16:50 - critical 2/3 SOFT > 16:51 - critical 3/3 HARD, event handler restarts DMS > 17:00 - check_period is no longer valid (downtime) > 22:00 - check_period is now valid (no more downtime) > 22:00 - notification sent of service down > 22:20 - notification sent of service down > 22:40 - notification sent of service down > 22:50 - notification sent of service down > 23:00 - notification sent of service down > 23:10 - service check forced by hand > 23:21 - service check returns HARD OK state > 23:21 - recovery sent via email > > > Raw logs: > > Sat Jan 8 16:27:31 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently running. > Sat Jan 8 16:27:31 2005 - SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;EKrestart > Sat Jan 8 16:28:32 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently running. > Sat Jan 8 16:28:32 2005 - SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;EKrestart > Sat Jan 8 16:29:31 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;HARD;3;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently running. > Sat Jan 8 16:29:31 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently > running. > Sat Jan 8 16:29:32 2005 - SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;HARD;3;EKrestart > Sat Jan 8 16:39:31 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: 908;DMS;OK;HARD;3;OK: DMS is > running on PID 1214 > Sat Jan 8 16:39:31 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;OK;notify-by-email;OK: DMS is running on PID 1214 > Sat Jan 8 16:39:31 2005 - SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: > 908;DMS;OK;HARD;3;EKrestart > Sat Jan 8 16:49:31 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently running. > Sat Jan 8 16:49:31 2005 - SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;EKrestart > Sat Jan 8 16:50:31 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently running. > Sat Jan 8 16:50:31 2005 - SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;EKrestart > Sat Jan 8 16:51:31 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;HARD;3;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently running. > Sat Jan 8 16:51:31 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently > running. > Sat Jan 8 16:51:31 2005 - SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: > 908;DMS;CRITICAL;HARD;3;EKrestart > Sat Jan 8 22:00:11 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster-page;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-epager;CRITICAL: DMS is not > currently running. > Sat Jan 8 22:00:11 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently > running. > Sat Jan 8 22:20:11 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster-page;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-epager;CRITICAL: DMS is not > currently running. > Sat Jan 8 22:20:11 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently > running. > Sat Jan 8 22:40:01 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster-page;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-epager;CRITICAL: DMS is not > currently running. > Sat Jan 8 22:40:01 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently > running. > Sat Jan 8 22:50:01 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster-page;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-epager;CRITICAL: DMS is not > currently running. > Sat Jan 8 22:50:01 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently > running. > Sat Jan 8 23:00:01 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CRITICAL: DMS is not currently > running. > Sat Jan 8 23:10:56 2005 - EXTERNAL COMMAND: > SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;908;DMS;1105243853 > Sat Jan 8 23:21:01 2005 - SERVICE ALERT: 908;DMS;OK;HARD;3;OK: DMS is > running on PID 26970 > Sat Jan 8 23:21:01 2005 - SERVICE NOTIFICATION: > dmaster;908;DMS;OK;notify-by-email;OK: DMS is running on PID 26970 > Sat Jan 8 23:21:02 2005 - SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: > 908;DMS;OK;HARD;3;EKrestart > > > Lastly, some keywords for people searching the mailing lists for this > topic: service check checks not being performed done after scheduled > downtime downtime ends terminates finishes > > > -- > Eric Loyd > Drive defensively.

Everything seems normal, but when I check the log file (/var/log/nagios/nagios.log) there are a lot of lines with the following warning: [1105227891] Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H 147.156.116.3 -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1" resulted in a return code of 127.

I've got two services A (snmpd) and B (check for a running process via snmp), so that the check of B depends upon A (snmpd must be up, so that I receive a response). I've set up the services as follows: define service { service_description A ...other things follow... } define servicedependency{ register 0 name dependUponA host_name thisHost dependent_host_name thisHost service_description A execution_failure_criteria u,c,p notification_failure_criteria u,c,p } define service { service_description B-Process ... other configuration options follow... } define servicedependency { use dependUponA dependent_service_description B-Process } Using this setup I would expect, that the (active) check_for service B-process is not executed, if process A is either in an unknown,critical or pending state. Is this correct ? If I setup a new host for monitoring in nagios, I noticed, that the B-Process service (it may be any SNMP based service check) is executed in spite of the fact, that service A (the snmpd) is still in state pending. One more thing that may be important: Service A (the snmpd) is basically a passive check. i'm doing some freshness checks every 30 minutes, however. So, service A will be OK after approx. 30 minutes. I recognized this behaviour in the 1.x Version also (at least, I'm quite sure that I saw it there), so I think I'm doing something stupid...(maybe I did't understand the documentation correctly).

I know there's directive "max_check_attempts" but it define the number of times that Nagios will retry the host check command. But I need to define when service is in critical state for 1 or 2 minute and then send notification.

You'll usually just get the average over 1,5 and 15 minutes, which is what you set your alerts for. The max_check_attempts variable for settings lets you skip receiving notifications for services that spike temporarily (by scheduling re-checks and sending a notification only if it receives a non-ok state max_check_attempts in a row). Raise it for your CPU load services if you think you're receiving too many false positives. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

You want to modify following 2 parameters in your service definition: max_check_attempts [number] retry_check_interval [number of "timeunits" configured in nagios.conf] If you want an alarm after more than 4 minutes CRTTICAL you do it that way: max_check_attempts 2, retry_check_interval 5. So if nagios checks and finds a critical value, it will recheck it after 5 minutes. If there is no critical value anymore, there won't be a notification.

However, I also group them by OS (i.e. solaris, linux, windows)...so that I can have a set of service definitions which relate to a specific OS hostgroup. When I get a new solaris box, I just add it to the solaris hostgroup and magically I have a group of services being tested.

I do not understand why you would need to make all services dependent on a check_ping service when the Nagios Documentation states: In the "*Theory Of Operation" Chapter, Section entitled: "Determining status and reachability of network hosts":*** Whenever a service check results in a non-OK status level, Nagios will attempt to check and see if the host that the service is running on is "alive". Typically this is done by pinging the host and seeing if any response is received. If the host check command returns a non-OK state, Nagios assumes that there is a problem with the host. In this situation Nagios will "silence" all potential alerts for services running on the host and just notify the appropriate contacts that the host is down or unreachable. If the host check command returns an OK state, Nagios will recognize that the host is alive and will send out an alert for the service that is misbehaving. *By adding the dependency on a check_ping service aren't you adding another level of complexity that is already handled by default?? * *-Emmett * Leonardo Henrique Machado wrote: >>I think I'm a little confused about dependencies.

Thanks for this advice. I ran it from command line and chenged the syntax for a couple of hours, but the closest I got was "no data received", which seemed closer than "socket timed out". I'm going to investigate the possibility of having a host send a mail via smtp to the nagios host and having that as proof that the host is still "up". I'll start a new thread :) -- Matt ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

The key is that with CGI authentication enabled, logged in users only see hosts and services that they are authorized contacts for. Configure CGI authentication as detailed at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/cgiauth.html. I believe that there are no significant changes between 1.x and 2.0 in this regard but you should review the docs for the version you are running. I'll presume that you're still running 1.x. Once you've done that, create two new .htaccess users; one that you would log in as to see your hosts grouped by function and then an [optional] second user that you would log in as to see the hosts grouped by OS. I'll call these two users 'functionuser' and 'osuser' for example. Add new contact definitions for each of these users and set their host_notification_period and service_notification_period to none because they don't need to receive notifications. If you already have different contact_groups created for each of your two hostgroup types above then all you need to do is add functionuser to the contact_group for the Functional hostgroups and osuser to the contact_group for the OS based hostgroups. If you do not already have two different contact_groups for each hostgroup type then you'll need to create those and either replace your current contact_groups entry in the hostgroup definition or add the new one as a secondary if you create new contact_groups that only contain After that's done you'll simply go to the web interface, log in as 'functionuser' with the appropriate password and you should only see those hostgroups that 'functionuser' is associated with via the contact_group. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Compare the receipt timestamp with whatever logic you like and exit with the appropriate exit code (OK, ERROR, WARNING). Execute this check as you would any other. http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html the existing plugin check_log2.pl is likely to be usable for this task if writing your own is not possible. -or- Use passive checks and freshness checks.

Are you using this? If it does work it seems like a hack. Is the internal logic loose enough to allow a host to be a member of a template hostgroup but not a 'real' hostgroup, either through use of the template or its addition to another real hostgroup? It has the feeling of a bug and I suspect that notifications wouldn't go out for hosts in that hostgroup at the least. I guess my question is: Is an unapplied template hostgroup with hosts defined internally equivalent in all ways to a real hostgroup definition as far as the deamon is concerned? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

I'm doing exactly this for the same reasons you mention above. I figured outbound SMTP would be perceived as innocuous by even the most anal (best) firewall admin. In my case, I have many distributed Nagios boxes talking to one central. I use global service event handlers to send the data through SMTP after first passing it to GPG for encryption. The messages arrive at the central box and are GPG decrypted and dumped into the nagios.cmd command pipe for processing. I set up a single freshness check on a service called distributed-nagios. This way, a break in the flow of SMTP messages will trigger an alert that indicates an underlying problem as oppsed to a problem on the distributed side itself.

Please pardon me if this has been asked - I checked the list and didn't see anything under a search. I have Nagios (2.01b) configured and monitoring some devices. However, I am having two issues: 1. Under the Service Detail Screen, the "Last Check" and "Status Information" fields look right. However, under the Host Detail Screen, only the first device listed displays the right information in the "Last Check" and "Status Information" fields. For the other devices, the "Last Check" field is N/A and the "Status Information" is (null). I'm not sure why they're different. 2. I tried to install the plugins, and some of them installed properly, while others didn't seem to. I'm not sure what happened, but I get errors like the following: Can't locate Cache.pm in @INC (@INC contains:.) Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not sure where you get your analysis of lack of scale, but I've done implementations that have either a larger amount of hosts (2723 last I checked) or a larger amount of checks (700 hosts with 8-12 active checks each) on a single nagios server.

I need something almost exactly like check_http but will accept arbitrary output. Any ideas on how do to this? 2) I have a web application that I want to monitor the log in process. The way it works is I POST credentials to a login web page, which then sets a cookie, and sends me a redirect. The redirected web page checks the cookie and then displays some data. check_http obviously does nothing with the cookies, so that doesn't work. I need something that will return the cookie properly. A lot of the web test script frameworks don't even appear to do that. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? Thanks! Greg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I use 'register 0' in some hostgroup definitions in my hostgroups.cfg file. I do this for hostgroups that contain hosts that are already used in other groups. For instance, I have three geographic regions, which all have hosts requiring check_icmp, and notifications to three different contact groups. However, 90% of these hosts are BGP routers that require check_bgp. Since I'm still using 1.2, which does not support exclusion of particular hosts when configuring a service to check a hostgroup, I created a new hostgroup containing only the BGP routers. I then set this group up to be checked with check_bgp in services.cfg. In hostgroups.cfg I give it a 'register 0', and it then does not appear in the cgis that display hostgroups. Someone else mentioned that this would not address a specific portion of the original posters question. This is quite possible, as I may have misunderstood their intent. Either way, you should now have a better understanding of what I meant. I thought that this was 'common knowledge', and well documented, but I may have been mistaken.

If JBoss and Tomcat display web pages (in my understanding they usually are) you can use check_http to check those. If not, and they run on the same machine as Nagios, you could easily make your own plugin. A shell script that does something like "ps -ef | grep ", checks the return code of grep (different return code if lines found, or if no lines found, see "man grep") and does "exit 0" if process found, or "exit 2" if not works for me. You can also count the processes ( | wc -l or such) and "exit 1" (warning) if the number of running procs seems not right. Define your script in misccommands.cfg and thats it - your very own plugin. All this applies to Nagios 1.2, dunno about 2.0 but should be similar. Also, there are probably existing plugins that do this. Also, when grepping in ps you might need to append an "| grep -v grep" cause on some systems I find the output sometimes includes the grep process itself. If they run on a different machine, Google a bit, I'm sure someone has tried to check processes running on different machines with Nagios before. There might be a plugin or some sort. Or, you could develop a way for your plugin to log into the remote machine and check the process there - ssh can be configured with its key mechanism to run from scripts without needing a password (like a trust relationship), and ssh can run commands on remote boxes this way. Hope this helps. Cheers, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Carsten Schmitz AEGON N.V.

In our case, we can't ping. We can, however, SSH from the Nagios server to (most) of the remote boxes. Our host check is, therefore, a check_ssh module check (is SSH running on remote host? If so, host is up. If not, host is down). So we wrap a bunch of modules in an SSH tunnel, and any checks that require this SSH connectivity that fail will cause a host check to be performed, which checks SSH connectivity. So we don't have to make a dependency upon ssh services. Short answer: Don't make services dependent upon network connectivity. Nagios handles that. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The solution I came across this morning was the CVS tarball. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/cvs/nagios-cvs.tar.gz With a little bit of editing I was able to get the RPM to build with the included .spec file. On an "ancient" RH7.3 system even, tho I did need to upgrade things like autoconf/automake/gd... First untar the ball and edit nagios.spec: (change "contrib" to "config") 271c271 < cp sample-contrib/httpd.conf ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf --- > cp sample-config/httpd.conf ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf Next, rename the base directory from "nagios-cvs" to "nagios-2.0b1". Finally, re-tar your renamed directory. I named my new source file nagios-2.0b1.tar.gz. On an RPM based system you now should be able to run: # rpm -ta path/to/new-tarball.gz If all goes as planned you will have 3 RPMs and 1 SRPM at the end.

We are currently working to migrate some Big Brother monitored hosts to Nagios. To do this, in the interim, I can set up passive Services with a freshness check that returns 'unknown', and then get the BigBrother status notifications to go to Nagios instead. What I need is a daemon, a bit like NSCA, that receives BigBrother notifications on port 1984 and then sends the appropriate status change to the Nagios command socket. Has anyone written one of those yet, or should I go ahead and do it? In the long term, we'll get pNSclient and NRPE on the hosts, but since those are active checks and BB is passive it will require firewall changes ate which is a long and tedious process. In the interim, using the BB agent with Nagios is the best way to go.

The redirected web page checks the cookie and then displays some data. check_http obviously does nothing with the cookies, so that doesn't work. I need something that will return the cookie properly. A lot of the web test script frameworks don't even appear to do that. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I replied... 1) You should be able to do this with check_http. Just check the HTTP response code rather than the content, it works correctly for me. 2) This is the sort of case that I wrote check_website to cope with -- where you have to do a sequence of multiple GET or POST requests, coping with redirects and cookies and parameters. I am using it here to log in to a web site, make a selection, and then log out.

It sounds like your host check scripts aren't working, so once nagios bothers to check the host (in response to a service down state) it never detects the host back up and thus doesn't send any service alerts. -Jason MArtin -- Where does the fire go when the fire goes out?

I was getting problems with using the nagios.cmd pipe. I tried to change the user that exim ran the aliases/pipe command as, but it stopped the aliases pipe working altogether. The way round it was to chmod 777 /var/run/nagios/nagios.cmd. There must be a more elegant solution (especially as I have to chmod it again after every service restart). Anyways - *much* thanks for the pointers. It's sorted my situation. -- Matt ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

It means the host is not accepting connections for the specified port, i.e. no program or service on the machine is listening on the port. This can be caused by a problem such as the software that usually accepts such connections no longer running, e.g. if the web server or mail server or whatever has crashed - the machine itself is still running, but the software providing the service has died. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

On my "Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)" box, for some weeks now, the pings started by Nagios keep piling up, meaning that I have ping processes running that are several days old. After a while the box gets slow, and I can't sleep coz I keep having those mysterious dreams of process table slot limitations. Anyone seen this before? Is my assumption correct that Nagios pings should die on the same day they were started (unless ping started 23:59:59 of course ;) At the moment all I can do is "killall /bin/ping" every couple of days, whats the expected impact of this on Nagios? (I'd expect that if I kill a ping that Nagios currently "looks at" then the service soft alert gets triggered but since all my services have retry=3 I don't expect any problems - still don't like to put killall into cron, would rather have a clean solution).

We are currently working to migrate some Big Brother monitored hosts to Nagios. To do this, in the interim, I can set up passive Services with a freshness check that returns 'unknown', and then get the BigBrother status notifications to go to Nagios instead. What I need is a daemon, a bit like NSCA, that receives BigBrother notifications on port 1984 and then sends the appropriate status change to the Nagios command socket. Has anyone written one of those yet, or should I go ahead and do it? In the long term, we'll get pNSclient and NRPE on the hosts, but since those are active checks and BB is passive it will require firewall changes ate which is a long and tedious process. In the interim, using the BB agent with Nagios is the best way to go.

Has anyone else seen this? I'm new to Nagios, and I was wondering if the database may have gotten corrupt? I don't know how to fix this, so any help is appreciated. Also, are there any special requirements for removing a host (other than removing it from the hosts.cfg, services.cfg, etc.) Thanks!

Message-ID: <41E693DC.70908@jouy.inra.fr> Hello, I have a problem with nagios 2.0a1 running with apache 2.0 on mandrake 10.1. It has been installed with urpmi. There are no errors messages in apache logs. Nagios is running on the server and nrpe on one client. The nagios cfg files seems to be OK. The error message is: Whoops! *Error: Could not read object configuration data!* Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error: 1. Verify configuration options using the *-v* command-line option to check for errors. 2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file). Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org. Thank you, O.

Here's what we do. Most of our checks are done on remote hosts as active checks that we wrap in an SSH tunnel first. Therefore, we know that on machine X, service Y failed. So our restart script (which is the same script for all event handlers) uses the service name to figure out what the daemon is that failed, SSHs to the remote machine and executes a local copy of itself with parameters that tell it what service failed. Now, the remote machine (still running the same script) knows what to do - the script has logic telling it what steps to take to restart service X, service Y, and service Z. When it finishes, the SSH runnel ends, the restart script on the Nagios box looks at some return codes, populates an Oracle tracking database, and ends execution. End result? All services can be restarted by one modular event handler. If a new service is added that needs a new series of restart steps, then a function is added to the restart script to do the work, and all else just "works." So the answer to your question is: The easiest way to implment restart scripts depends on what you're restarting. :-) Fred Blaise wrote: >Hello all > >What would be the easiest way to implement restart scripts, for when a >daemon is down, to try to bring it back up? > >Any pointers greatly appreciated. > >Thanks. > > ))fred > > -- Eric Loyd loyd at cyber.kodak.com ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

We are currently working to migrate some Big Brother monitored hosts to Nagios. To do this, in the interim, I can set up passive Services with a freshness check that returns 'unknown', and then get the BigBrother status notifications to go to Nagios instead. What I need is a daemon, a bit like NSCA, that receives BigBrother notifications on port 1984 and then sends the appropriate status change to the Nagios command socket. Has anyone written one of those yet, or should I go ahead and do it? In the long term, we'll get pNSclient and NRPE on the hosts, but since those are active checks and BB is passive it will require firewall changes ate which is a long and tedious process. In the interim, using the BB agent with Nagios is the best way to go.

My notebook's OS is linux and I am using kde as windowmanager. So I decided to write a kickerapplet. It is a very small and simple applet but for me it is very usefull. I published it under http://www.nagiosexchange.org -> Addon Projects -> Notifications -> KTLight. The applet is my very first KickerApplet and the actual release is the version 0.2. So please regard this version still as alpha even though it 's stable and runing without any problems. Please post every featurerequest as comment to this project on www.nagiosexchange.org. Of course all other comments are welcome as well. Right now there is no documentation for this kickerapplet but it's very simple. All you have to do is right click on it an configure it. "Nagios URL" is used to open a browser Window after left clicking on the applet. Copy the attached index2.html to your Nagios folder and configure it (eg.: http://nagios.foobar.org/nagios/index2.html). "Nagios cgi-bin" is the url to the nagios cgis. So please but something like http://nagios.foobar.org/nagios/cgi-bin/ in. I hope the applet is usefull.

I now have implemented this, and it works well (although I needed to make a few changes to it to support UNIX responses, and generic responses -- email me if you want a copy). Longer term, we'll be converting the custom scripts to send_nsca rather than BB, and replacing the BB agents with NRPE or pNSclient, but that takes change request procedures and firewall modifications so it's a slow process.

I believe the nagios process might otherwise kill the check_ping plugin, causing the ping program to become an orphan. init (process nr 1) should normally take over those processes and reap (and ignore) their exit statuse every once in a while, but apparently they do not. Do you have any kernel patches in place affecting the wait4 system call, or do you have a non-standard init program? A solution might be to use the check_icmp program, which doesn't fork ping and thus can be killed properly by ist parent process (nagios). > At the moment all I can do is "killall /bin/ping" every couple of > days, whats the expected impact of this on Nagios?

Your HOSTs are being checked with a ping when one of their services goes into a non-OK state. (I'm assuming that's how you've got Nagios configured) So when you look at your HOST status you see the result of the HOST check, i.e. a ping result. In your SERVICE detail, you have a ping SERVICE defined. (Service name "PING") which (unlike a host check) is regularly scheduled. (Host checks are only performed when a service enters a non-OK state.) So. The PING SERVICE on metro-c6506-1 returns a non-OK (i.e. stops responding to pings) THEN the host check is placed into the check queue and is executed later (to confirm host reachability.) Hence you will see two different results from your HOST check (a ping) and your SERVICE check (also a ping) because they get executed at different times. HTH, Greg Michael S.

Some I think I've worked out (I'll find out tomorrow when I look at whats down again) but in other cases I don't know whats causing it. #1. This one isn't a problem really, but just a question. In the old versions of nagios the daemon didn't have to be running for you to pull status info. It was usually a good idea to have it running, but if it went down for a few minutes nobody would notice. Now we get a message that says "Error: Could not read host and service status information!" Which is good, but what happens if you want to move the webpages to another server? It seems like people used to do that for better web performance. I was thinking about creating a 128Mb ramdrive on another host and scp'ing the current data onto the webserver every 5 minutes. Now I'm not sure that works anymore. #2. The second problem we're having is that every few minutes the web cgi's will error out for some reason, showing the user an "Internal server error" page. Checking the apache logs shows this: [Thu Jan 13 20:01:57 2005] [error] [client 63.173.114.141] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/nagios/sbin/status.cgi I don't think this started happening until I started using the nagios-db NEB module, but that may be coincidence since they shouldn't really be related. Please let me know if you want configs, or more information (I've been tweaking performance stuff in the configs for the last few days trying to get nagios to run on schedule, so things might be screwed up in there anyway :) Thanks, Robert -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

So I am just posting this so it is in the archives. The nagios documentation says to set for the service you passively monitor active_checks_enabled 0 The documentation doesn't make mention of the check_period... I had set my check period to none since there would be no checks. Contrary to the docs I set active_checks_enabled to 1 in an attempt to avoid all the "red" for disabled services. (This is also recommended by the naplax.sf.net REL package which i was using for the passive checks) active_checks_enabled 1 check_period none No freshness checks were done, ever. I later saw that the Nagios documentation says to disable active checks. So I then had this active_checks_enabled 0 check_period none No freshness checks were done, ever. Only after looking at the code did i see in check.c /* see if the time is right... */ if(check_time_against_period(current_time,temp_service->check_period)==ERROR) continue; So basically you MUST set the equivalent of check_period 24x7 Otherwise the actual freshness check on that service is aborted. cheers -ant ************ Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender and not necessarily that of T-Systems South Africa (Pty) Ltd, its directors or employees, and accordingly no liability can be accepted therefore.

I believe the nagios process might otherwise kill the check_ping plugin, causing the ping program to become an orphan. init (process nr 1) should normally take over those processes and reap (and ignore) their exit statuse every once in a while, but apparently they do not. Do you have any kernel patches in place affecting the wait4 system call, or do you have a non-standard init program? A solution might be to use the check_icmp program, which doesn't fork ping and thus can be killed properly by ist parent process (nagios). > At the moment all I can do is "killall /bin/ping" every couple of > days, whats the expected impact of this on Nagios?

You will need the freetds libs and a bunch of perl modules or the tsql binary, but you should find at least two plugins that can check MSSQL (it shamelessly uses the tabular datastream protocol, so you will be able to check sybase servers with the same plugin). I've never heard of a Progress database server before. Sounds like ripoff of the well-known and much-loved Postgres if you ask me. check_pgsql is included in the standard plugin distribution. You need the postgres development files (headers) as well as the shared (or static) client libraries installed for the plugin distribution to find it. > Please let me know if there is a solution already for this, or if we > have to start from scratch. > > If the latter, I make sure the scripts become available for the community! > > > Kind regards, > Richard Luys > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues > Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek. > It's fun and FREE -- well, almost....http://www.thinkgeek.com/sfshirt > _______________________________________________ > Nagios-users mailing list > Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users > ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when > reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk > being sent to /dev/null > -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

I got the "grey problem" now: I've enabled the panel transparency option. This wipes out the ktlight area. Thinking of that I'd already disabled that option (and pressed "APPLY" ) but did not restart the kicker panel. Now I restarted the panel and I get a colored area (orange or green). The second problem remains, however. There is a service in critical (hard) state that is not ackowledged. I configured "All" in the "View" menu and unchecked the hide buttons there. But klight stays green. (BTW: I:m running KDE 3.3.1 on debian sarge) Have a nice weekend!

I configured it, and its work fine. I need to monitor my radius. In my checkcommands.cfg I put this: # 'check_radius' command definition define command{ command_name check_radius command_line $USER1$/check_udp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1645 } # 'check_radius_account' command definition define command{ command_name check_radius_account command_line $USER1$/check_udp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1646 But, I get this error message: (root at firewall)~# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_udp -H localhost -p 1645 No data was recieved from host! No response from host on port 1645 Exit 2 And I have the radius working in my box. Is this command wrong? What can I do to fix it? All the services that the nagios monitor is fine, except the radius.

Here is what I get: When I unlocked the screensaver of my workstation, the ktlight area was green, changing immediately to grey (=background color, does that mean: state=UNKNOWN?). Clicking with the middle mouse botton on that area gives me a browser window with the URL https://nagiosadmin@/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&type=detail&servicestatustypes=20&serviceprops=42 (I configured the nagios cgi-bin to "https:///nagios/cgi-bin/") That page shows me the network, host, and the service status; one of the services is in critical state. The ktlight tooltip says "everything is in order" , however. I'm pretty shure that the nagiosadmin password is ok.

Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).

Now this little applet will recognize if it failed to fetch a status page and turn the "light" into orange (unknown state). But I think that's not your problem - which the working 3rd mousebutton demonstrates. I never heard from this turning into grey problem :-( Maybe it's caused by your screensaver. Did you restart kde after installing? Which kde version are you using? If you believe there is an error, but ktlight does not show it right, please check if the problem is already acknowledged or still in soft state or change ktlight config :-) Thank you Gerd Am Fr, den 14.01.2005 schrieb Gebhardt Thomas um 16:20: > Hi Gerd, > > > For me and a few other guys it works, so I guess the configuration of > > your cgi-bin path is not right.

Hook up your "energy meter" and fire up its webserver. Then try using the check_http plugin to query the device. If check_http doesn't do what you want, you may end up writing your own plugin to do it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demetri Mouratis dmourati at linfactory.com ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

So far I've seen that Nagios is used mostly for network monitoring only. What I wanted to know is, is it possible to display the electrical quantities like power, voltage, current etc with Nagios ? For this, I've an energy meter with a webserver on board and it can connect to ethernet. So, with the use of Nagios can we display these results on WWW remotely ? More precisely, what I plan to do is display those quantities in a manner similar to some online energy montioring services available. However those are very costly, whereas the very fundamental logic of Nagios is monitoring for free, but this time electrical parameters. I hope I've mentioned clearly without any confusion and hoping to expect some detailed suggestions.

Go into /etc/exim4/conf.d My config file is split into, so I go into the /router directory. Find 400-exim4-config_system_aliases file and uncomment "user = list" and "group = mail". Also uncomment pipe_transport = address_pipe Now go into /etc/aliases and put a nagios alias to pipe mail to nagios to a command. You can pipe to the command: nagios | /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers/submit_check_result which expects arguments after the command (the host, service, code "0" etc. It's all in the docs for passive checks, freshness checks and volatile services.

Message-ID: <45353.141.113.101.32.1105966555.squirrel@webmail.ssorgflar.de> Hi, I recently moved from nagios 1.2 to nagios 2.0b1. With 1.2, I used the alias directive (macro $CONTACTALIAS$) in contacts.cfg to send winpopup alerts to this windows clients. Nagios 2.0b1 has the new $CONTACTADDRESSx$ macro, I can define up to 6 different addresses for one contact. The winpopup section in my misccommands.cfg looks like this: ...nagios stuff...| /usr/bin/smbclient -U "Nagios" -M $CONTACTALIAS$ If a contact has just one address defined, I could just replace $CONTACTALIAS$ with $CONTACTADDRESS1$. But some people have serveral hosts which should get the popup alert. Do I have to create different commands in misccommands.cfg, eg. notify-by-winpopup-host-1, notify-by-winpopup-host-2...? I think there must be a simpler way to accomplish that. Any ideas?

That's true, assuming that only init scripts are used to restart services. In some cases, "services" are really components of other services such as caches and so forth that require hitting a web page to flush a cache. So what we've really done is to name the service_descriptions things like SSH:Service:Instance and Service:Instance:Parameter. This lets us know if the service is tunneled over SSH or not, the name of the service (we'll say "Web" or "DNS" for instance), the specific instance of the service (port numbers in the case of web servers, other things for other services) and a parameter type attribute for things like caches. The restart script looks for functions called do_ and passes various parameters to it. So the modularity comes in needing to just write a single function in the restart script (say, do_web) that restarts web services. Within that function, instances and other parameters can be parsed to determine if a full restart is required, a cache needs to be flushed, or whatever else we want to do. It works for us.

Possibly nsca (or the > web-user) can be fooled into executing commands on any host through > the service restart thingie. I think, maybe, you misunderstand. (And we don't use nsca because of firewalls - that's why we wrap in SSH). The event_handler parameter is set to something like "generic_restart.sh" for all services. The service_descriptions for all services are in a format that allows for easy parsing to figure out what instance of what service (and maybe what sub-instance) it refers to. The generic_restart.sh script then figures out whether it's hard or soft, what failure number it is, and (maybe) takes action. Action simply consists of trying to find a function within generic_restart.sh called do_service. It passes a bunch of arguments to this service and the function determines what needs to be done. This does not mean that random code is sent - the function clearly defines what steps need to be taken (kill -QUIT, /foo/bar/svc.stop, sleep 10, /foo/bar/svc.start, send mail, whatever). There is no auto-adding of hosts. There is no passing of code. There is no passive check results. Since the Nagios machine is running active checks remotely via SSH, only checks executed by Nagios are considered. -- Eric Loyd loyd at cyber.kodak.com ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Surely the webserver on the energy meter has some sort of interface for this purpose? If your concern is to monitor, alert on, and trend the data that the energy meter is gathering, then this is where Nagios would be useful. Does the energy meter speak SNMP? If so, it should be a reasonably straightforward exercise to write a script to poll and pull into Nagios. If it does not, then your task may prove to be more difficult...

So far I've seen that Nagios is used mostly for network monitoring only. What I wanted to know is, is it possible to display the electrical quantities like power, voltage, current etc with Nagios ? For this, I've an energy meter with a webserver on board and it can connect to ethernet. So, with the use of Nagios can we display these results on WWW remotely ? More precisely, what I plan to do is display those quantities in a manner similar to some online energy montioring services available. However those are very costly, whereas the very fundamental logic of Nagios is monitoring for free, but this time electrical parameters. I hope I've mentioned clearly without any confusion and hoping to expect some detailed suggestions.

Message-ID: <20050117160844.GA99565@caffreys.strugglers.net> Hi, We have a production network and a management network, with all our administrative traffic going over the management network and every production server having at least two interfaces. We don't want to have nagios only monitor across one of the networks though, because then we run the risk (however minor) of a network problem isolating all our servers from the outside world while nagios happily reaches them over the management network and does not warn us. So, what I would like to do is have nagios ping the production IP but do all the other service checks over the management IP. Is it possible to define a host as having two addresses and have nagios ping one but do service checks on the other? Or will every host need to be split into two hosts so that one of them can have the production address and be set as parent for all the others?

If there's a consistent "system" of addressing (like, if internal is 10.0.0.123, external is 4.5.6.123) it wouldn't be hard to write a "check external interface" wrapper for check_tcp or check_ping.

In-Reply-To: <20050117160844.GA99565@caffreys.strugglers.net> References: <20050117160844.GA99565@caffreys.strugglers.net> Message-ID: We are doing something similar at my company by defining a second check_ping service check in the checkcommands.cfg command_name check_ping2 command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -p 3 instead of just using check_ping with the $HostAddress$ it uses whatever IP you pass to it. From your description it sounds like you do not want to modify your host IP, because your host would not be down on a failed ping, the interface to the production network may be down but not the host. (Host checks are only executed if a service check fails so having the check in a host check only will not help if all the services on the management network are in an OK state when the production IP goes down) The disadvantage of adding a second ping service check like this is more typing and more prone for inconsistencies if things change on the network. However the advantage is you can have as many ping checks registered to a single host as you want. (Using this also assumes that your nagios server is also on both networks.) Another alternative solution might be to have your production hosts do a passive check ping to their router or firewall and send that result to the nagios server to be monitored.

Here's the Output: # check_http -I 192.168.19.29 -v GET / HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: check_http/1.60 (nagios-plugins 1.4.0alpha2) CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds When I do a simple telnet on Port 80 it looks like that: # telnet 192.168.19.29 80 Trying 192.168.19.29... Connected to 192.168.19.29. Escape character is '^]'. Get test HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed Content-Type:text/html Remote Insight

HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed Connection closed by foreign host. Is it possible, that there is a Problem with HTTP/1.1 and the check_http Plugin? Thanks in advance!

Are you using /bin/ping from checkcommands.cfg instead of the check_ping or check_icmp plugins? If yes, any specific reason? I dunno, could be that the combination of -w 10 and -c 5 makes Nagios think there's a timeout before your ping command finishes? Did you try lower values? When you say the command works on the shell, did you do that as the same user that Nagios runs as?

Should those services be available only on the management network or also on the production network? In the latter case you probably should check them on the production network as well.

The thinking here is that we don't want all the service checks going over the production network, so as long as the production network IP is reachable and the services are all available over the management IP then we would assume that the services are also available over the production IP. Is this a reasonable assumption? Thanks for all the replies so far, btw. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

How to do? ;) Don't quite understand - your question is how to ping without using the plugin? Well, you could call ping directly from checkcommands.cfg (and coincidencially it seems to give the correct exit codes, 0 for okay or 2 for host not found) but I don't advise to do this. If you can't solve your problem any other way, try check_icmp from http://oss.op5.se/nagios/ (download, unzip, run make, copy to libexec or wherever your plugins are, and define in checkcommands.cfg). The syntax might be a bit different, run check_icmp --help to find out. Does the same as check_ping, just without spawning "real" ping processes.

Your case sounds identical to Esensors HVAC monitor, a webserver enabled temp/humid/light sensor that is advertised right on the main nagios.org page. Take a look at their Perl Nagios plugin here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/plugins/esensors/ It grabs the status web page, parses the stats into variables and processes the values to calculate whether the values are OK, warning, or critical in the normal Nagios way. If one wanted to see the stats of the last check, one could check Service Detail -> Status Information Nagios page. Since I prefer not to do my graphs in Nagios, I also hacked their plugin to provide data for NRG (an MRTG competitor). You could also hack it to grab and parse the output for your energy meter. This script will tell you *one* way of parsing the http result into variables for use in an external application, Nagios or any other.

Host checks are seperate. Check that the check_command you have defined in your host definition is working properly. It sounds like it is failing. -Jason Martin -- This message is PGP/MIME signed. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

One of the services must have had a 'hitch'. Nagios never checks the status of the host unless a service check fails. When one does, Nagios will execute the host check_command that you have defined for that particular host. It would seem that your host check_command for this host isn't working or isn't valid. Try running it as you have it defined in [mis]commands.cfg and the host definition as the Nagios user to make sure that it runs and returns expected output. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

AKCP's website is at http://www.akcpinc.com/ , however I bought mine through Optrics at http://shop.optrics.com/shop/category.asp?catid=5 , AKCP's sales team never returned my emails or calls...

I decided to upgrade from 1.2 (the slave box) to the latest version to make use of the 'inherits_parent' directive in the dependencies config - I have not yet upgraded the plugins nor changed any of the macro defs, accordingly. After upgrading, I made a few changes to the hosts.cfg and hostgroups.cfg files (to fix the contact_group issues) and all works fine. However, host/service event handlers seem to be broken now. I can take the service or host down I am monitoring with EV's, and sure enough, I see the references in the log files: [1106090538] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: tx-svr-1;NAGIOS;CRITICAL;HARD;2;handle-master-proc-event [1106090658] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: tx-svr-1;NAGIOS;OK;HARD;2;handle-master-proc-event However, the event scripts simply aren't being called by the nagios process as verified by modifications I made to them for testing purposes. Running the EV scripts manually works, so it's not broken scripts. Addtionally, all the config files/scripts are owned by the same user that the nagios and httpd processes run as. Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: I have Nagios installed and running just fine, and what a great tool it is too ... kudos to Ethan. I have a Q about whether it is possible to setup what I like to call an 'aggregate' service - a check of the doco gave me nothing. (and leads me to believe that this cannot be done currently?); our company has several business- level (or abstract) services that are in fact comprised of multiple host-level services, all of which contribute to this high-level service being 'up' or not. For example, for this high-level service to be deemed as 'up' by the business, the following all need to be OK: - Host A - 3 x processes, and 2 x specific established TCP connections. - Host B - 3 x processes, and 2 x specific established TCP connections. - Host C - DNS service, 2 x specific processes. - Host D - WWW service. - Host E - Database up and responding to queries. What I'd like to do is setup an 'aggregate service' who's state is dependant on the state of these specific services on hosts A, B, C, D & E so that: - If all services on A,B,C,D & E are OK, then the aggregate services is OK. - If one of the services on A,B,C,D & E is in a WARNING state, then the aggregate services is also in a WARNING state. - As above, but with CRITICAL. A further real-world wrinkle to this is that hosts A & B are in a load- balanced config, so that if one host is down (CRITICAL) this is not actually a CRITICAL problem for the 'aggregate' service since it can still function using host B, and so it would be more appropriate to give the aggregate service a 'WARNING' condition. This being the case it would be ideal if there was some way of describing these dependencies. So can this be done, or is this really a new feature request? Some of you might suggest that I just write a check for all these conditions and use a simple service check, but to me it makes a lot of sense to just leverage the existing service/check infrastructure and associated status info within Nagios. Unfortunately I'm not much of a developer (not at this level anyway) so it's beyond me to write a mod to Nagios itself... :( Thanks, Jason ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Basically, in an existing service or host definition, you use the 'event_handler' directive to execute a script if a service or host is up/down/critical, etc. If one of the services on a host goes down, that script could simply be setup to email (using Nagios utilities if you wish) or page with a predefined message stating 'High Level Service problem - Service X on Host B down' or whatever...

That depends on the services, and maybe the OS. For example, if a server binds every interface explicitely (Bind does this, and Apache in many configurations), it is entirely possbile that it succeeds to bind to the management interface, but fails to open the production interface (e.g., because the production interface was down during a restart, or a hung process was still using it). Then you can ping the production interface, and access the service at the management interface, but still not access the service at the production interface. If the service binds to any interface (0.0.0.0), then I think your assumption would be correct (but I'm still not 100% sure). My rule of thumb is: If you want to know whether X works, try to test X directly, instead of testing Y and Z and reasoning that if Y and Z work then X must work, too. Of course I realize that this is not always possible. hp -- _ | Peter J.

Have you had a look at check_log? It does exactly what you are (apparently) asking. Although, your statement that there is no OK/CRITICAL state is confusing. Wouldn't the writing of 'some particular string' to the log file be the Critical state (and, obviously, the string not being there be the OK state)? At least, that's how we all do it. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

I have a problem though, I'm using nagios 1.2 and the applet is always showing red (when I have the config set to version 1.x) and on "mouse-over" it shows a bunch of services that are in fact acknowledged. But if I look at the page from your "index2.html" those do not show, and looking at the line in index2.html w.r.t. the serviceprops and servicestatustype etc. I'm a bit confused about how the applet parses the information..... could you explain how the applet filters the alerts ? BTW, I found that it's not compatible with my (old , I know) KDE 3.2 but configure was OK with it, but during make I got: /usr/lib/qt-3.2.1/bin/uic -L /opt/kde/lib/kde3/plugins/designer -nounload -o prefsoundlayout.h ./prefsoundlayout.ui uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (3.3 vs. 3.2.1) Maybe configure should check the version of uic too ?

That works with the help of check_log2.pl. I made a servicecheck with that.

One script handler is supposed to be called when the check_nrpe check fails to detect the nagios process running on another box. The check_nrpe plugin was recently built and an alarm condition is generated when Nagios is killed on the other system - so I don't think the problem is outdated plugins, either...

Dunno, there is a ./check_log in the regular plugin distribution but I don't think it does what you need. The plain way (without Nagios) would probably be like this: An entry (which signifies a problem I guess) gets written into an Oracle log file, script greps for that string from cron, and if the grep finds a corresponding line (that'd be [ "$?" -eq "0" ] I think) then it would trigger an e-mail/pager/carrier pigeon to alert some person. You could do that without using Nagios at all, but you need to add some logic so it doesn't email people repeatedly for the same entry (if your log file has time stamps, its only a matter of extracting it (awk) and making a lock file for that time stamp in /tmp (carefull if your /tmp is wiped at reboot ;) If you want to invoke Nagios, it depends on your procedure. Is someone reacting to the alert by looking at the system and "fixing" Oracle? If yes, you could require him to take some action which "acknowledges" the problem and makes your check script assume "ok" for this particular log entry, returning a final "ok" (read: exit 0) to Nagios if no other "unacknowledged" entries are present. Or maybe you could even work with Nagios built-in "Problem Acknowledgment" feature (dunno if it can have an event handler of some sort). But if 10 log entries are added in short time, the poor guy will have to do a lot of "acknowledgeing". Depends on the type of log entry you monitor, and your working procedures for handling the log entry I guess. Hence, my $0.02 (actually, that'd be 0.02 eurocents) is that in most cases i'd probably just use cron for this one (or, I'd do a search for log file monitors on sf.net, someone must have invented that wheel before :) Cheers, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Carsten Schmitz AEGON N.V.

Instead, you would want to disable notifications for the other services until any of them return OK.

So have it set to not volatile (is_volatile 0), max_check_attempts of 1, obsess_over_service to 1, and set an ocsp_command to reset the service. This should rarely, if ever, actually *show* a Hard Critical, but you'll get an alert each time it changes. You probably would want to set your notifications to c (or c,u), though. Else you'll get two alerts each time. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

What will happen is this -- Check 1 - check_log checks the log file, doesn't find the pattern returns OK [rinse, wash, repeat] Pattern is logged to the log file. Check x - check_log checks the log file, finds the pattern, status is set to critical, Nagios sends notification Check x+1 - check_log checks the log file, doesn't find the pattern, returns OK [rinse, wash, repeat] As long as you have Nagios configured to send alerts on the first non-OK state _and_ not to send notification on recovery, you'll only receive one alert and it will only show critical in the interface until the next scheduled check. Nagios will *have* to change the status internally for the duration of the single check in order to send an alert. This is completely appropriate behavior as there is a 'problem' with the service as you've defined 'problem'. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

If you are looking for an alert *every time* a string appears, then using an active check won't work. Nagios will alert once *per polling interval* that a string appeared, but if the string appeared 3 times in an interval then you'll only get one alert.

I understand that check_log2 seeks to its last position in the file. However, imagine the following timeline: 1: check_log2 polls the file. 2: Error 1 gets written to the file 3: Error 2 gets written to the file 4: check_log2 polls the file and alerts about the error. If the original poster wanted individual alerts about steps 2,3 then passive checks are the only way to go. If he just wanted to know that >= 1 error messages were written between steps 1,4 then active checks will work. -Jason Martin -- This message is PGP/MIME signed. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you decide to use Kerberos, make certain that you are using version krb5-workstation-1.3.x or newer.

Message-ID: <20050120042325.GB45297@IPAustralia.Gov.AU> Dear Folks, I am writing with what may be a bug in scheduled downtime in 2.0b1. After scheduling downtime for all hosts in a hostgroup and - selecting the 'for hosts too' check box - selecting flexible downtime - entering a downtime interval and - entering a comment firstly, the comment was _not_ affixed to the hosts in the host group (the generic comment 'this host has entered a period of scheduled downtime from 12:00 to 14:00 for 24 hours [24 hours was the downtime interval] was what appeared), but worse, notifications were sent out. between even the (wrongly interpreted 2 hour) period of scheduled downtime. The comments (the generic only) persisted only in comments.dat for 2 hours. Here is how one of the comments appeared in comments.dat comment_data=This service has been scheduled for flexible downtime starting between 20-01-2005 12:44:42 and 20-01-2005 14:44:42 and l asting for a period of 24 hours and 0 minutes. Notifications for the service will not be sent out during that time period.

Notifications are only sent out, if a status goes to WARNING OR CRTITCAL. So you need a plugin which changes its status otherwise you won't get a notification. If you don't want a state change in nagios, you can still setup a cron job. It looks like, a cron job in cunjunction with a small shell script around check_log2.pl fits your needs much better, than nagios. Another question: Why is it so important to maintain OK status?

In this case I could > receive one notifications when "the strings" are written in the log file, > but none "RED ALERT" appears in the web interface! check_log2.pl goes back to green, if there is no new string in the logfile appearing. Example: -check_log2 goes through your logfile -> nothing found -> return 0 -> OK -your app writes something new into the logfile, NOT the expected string -check_log2 realises the grown logfile, so checks only new stuff and finds nothing -> return 0 -> OK -your app logs the expected string -check_log2 again checks only the new stuff, finds the string -> return 1 -> WARNING -your app writes something new into the logfile, NOT the expected string -check_log2 realises the grown logfile, so checks only new stuff and finds nothing -> return 0 -> OK As you could see, we have a state change here. OK -> WARNING -> OK That is how check_log2.pl works. I have it here in hot use, and it works very well. So I don't understand you, when you say, Nagios stays in "critical" (or warning) status. That is simply incorrect. You don't need to set the service status back to OK. This is done by the logic of check_log2.pl. I hope, my explainations are understandable!

If everything is allright, nagios works great, but in trouble situation nagios fails to reach a lot of hosts. I think this happens when nagios has to work a lot with retry-check-intervall.

Message-ID: <20050120082201.155827049.jayj@yahoo-inc.com> Hi, I seem to have hit some kind of limit in my nagios config. I am defining a generic service escalation model for all of my services divided into two servicegruops, services-priority-high and services-priority-low. This seems to work well, until I reach some limit on the number of services I have in my services-priority-high group (~1300 services). I have narrowed it down if I add one more service (which actually results in about 150 being added to the service group, because that service is on a ~150 hosts), I experience the following when I load my web interface: > Whoops! > > Error: Could not read object configuration data! When I back out that one service from the service group, the error goes away. Throughout all of this my nagios daemon restarts happily without any errors (nor any errors from nagios -v) Does anyone have any thoughts/experiences with this?

With this config, I have problems: - interval_length = 60 (default, it's recommended) - nomal_check_interval = 1 - error_check_interval = 1 - enable_flap_detection = 1 - max_concurrent_checks = 0 Now, I made a less aggressive configuration, and nagios seems to be stable: - interval_length = 60 (default, it's recommended) - nomal_check_interval = 3 (I don't like, 3 minutes in some services is a lot....) - error_check_interval = 2 ( :( ) - enable_flap_detection = 0 ( In Netsaint, I didn't have this enabled, so ....) - max_concurrent_checks = 30 ( Although "vmstat" and "top" always show me an idle machine (DL380 G3 P4 HPT + 2Gb ram), I tried this...)

The problem I see is that NSCA doesn't have any concept of multiple Nagios instances and so can't route the message to the appropriate instance. One could install multiple NSCA ports, but I am hoping to avoid that to simplify firewall configurations. It looks like it'll be necessary to put some sort of intermediary between NSCA and the nagios command files that can determine where to send the message. Has anyone implementing such a thing?

I'm assuming that the NSCA daemon would be reconfigured to write to a different named pipe to this 'message router' instead of the Nagios named pipe. The message router would then have to determine to which Nagios name pipe the message should be written. -Jason Martin -- This message is PGP/MIME signed. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You must have gd and gd-devel installed. When you run configure, if you see -- "Boutell's GD library is required to compile the statusmap, trends" "and histogram CGIs. Get it from http://www.boutell.com/gd/, compile" "it, and use the --with-gd-lib and --with-gd-inc arguments to specify" "the locations of the GD library and include files."

Is this feature somewhere available to build a 'master' for other services?? I have setup nagios 2.0b1 Actual we have for every host several servicedependencies which i can now reduce hopefully to at least one servicedependency definition using service patterns. After reducing the service definitions more than 50% by using wildcards and regexps i also want to get rid of dependency definitions for standard situations.

The new version is now available for downloading. v1.07 This version includes the ability to Check Event Logs. However, to report the results to nagios a new version of Check_nt needs to have this option added. I started working on it, and I am planning on submitting my code to the developers very soon. But, it can still be tested using the test console. You can Download it from Either the official web site www.shatterit.com/NC_Net or from http://www.nagiosexchange.org/ The syntax for what to check will be a comma separated string. check_nt -H XYZ -v EVENTLOG -l "ARG1,ARG2,ARG3,ARGList4,ARGLIST5,ARGLIST6" Base Arguments to start the List. 1) checks any single event log or all event logs. - it can check custom Event logs - instead of typing the event log name type 'any' for all logs 2)Checks for a single event type or all event types - it can check all types by entering 'any' - it should be able to test custom event log types (if these can be created?) 3) time interval in min - enter a 0 for check all events in Logs. - default is 10 min. Additional Filters. - the additional filters take the form of a comma separated list - the first element(required for each filter) is the number of strings in the list - 0 is to ignore the filter. - positive number is to include only entries that match the filter - negative number is to exclude all entries that match the filter 4) Source type - list of Source types to use as a filter 5) Message filter - this filter list accepts regular expressions -(NON STANDARD) DOT NET Regular expressions options - ignore padded whitespace and treat ^ and $ to function on lines (inside a string variable via \n )instead of meaning beginning and end of the string variable. 6) event ID - list of Event ID to look for or exclude. for example to check any log for Information type, within the past 45 min for anything that started or stopped you should be able to use the command: ./check_nt -H XYZ -v EVENTLOG -l "any,Information,45,0,1,(start|stop),0 The following should give the same result: ./check_nt -H XYZ -v EVENTLOG -l "any,Information,45,0,2,start,stop,0 (better examples will be posted on web site after a new version of check_nt) The result should be critical if an event occurred in the time interval, and a list of event ID with the with the message field of the last event that was written to the event log. NOTE: NC_Net is also in the process of being upgraded to do Passive checks via NSCA. Currently a C# class for the send_nsca client has been completed and tested. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

That behaviour of printf basically lies in the "bogus" interpretation of "\ followed by a space" by /usr/bin/printf on some platforms. The built-in Bash extension "printf" does not have that problem. Therefor I am currently using a rather ugly construct to circumvent it: define command{ command_name notify-by-email command_line /bin/bash -c "printf \"%b\" \"***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nDescription: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATE$ $TIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\"" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ } It would be much more appealing if the "illegal_macro_output_chars" would be parsed correctly.

On the return page from srvcheck.cgi I get "Error: Server closed connection before init packet was received Error: Could not read init packet from server" and in /var/log/messages I get: "Network server bind failure (98: Address already in use)". I have mapped port 5667 to nsca in /etc/services and netstat -anp | grep 5667 reveals nothing else trying to use that port. The web page, cgi and NSCA are all on the same server as nagios. NSCA is running under xinetd. Does anyone have any ideas what this error might be and how to fix it? Or is there another way of triggering a service check manually then submitting the result to Nagios. I'm looking for something that is friendly to use.

One could write a plugin that does a SHOW MASTER STATUS / SHOW SLAVE STATUS against the appropriate servers and check that the log positions are not more than X positions apart. It looks like this book (http://6URL.com/AAZ) has some sample code, although it isn't in the form of a Nagios plugin. rSync backups could be monitored by having the job log and monitoring the logfile or making the backup job a passive check. -Jason Martin -- Are dog biscuits made from collie flour?

No matter what user I put in the config file to be able to do this, it would not work. What I ended up doing was chown the nagios.cmd file to the user:apache and chmod 660 the file. I also had to mod the startup script and add these lines: chown $Nagion:apache $NagiosCmd chmod 660 $NagiosCmd at about line 110 in the init script (Right in the start area under the sleep1 command.

Recently we got rid of all our slow service checks so we changed the interval from 20 minutes to 5. We've got 4600 services (4300 hosts). Currently we've got 42 hosts down, 4 unreachable. We've got 64 service check failures (90% of those being Service Check Timed Out) The problem is that alot of these timeouts are false positives. Even though it takes 2 seconds to check a host (even when down) nagios times them out. The box isn't overloaded, usually the load average is around 1.0. With that many service checks spread over 5 minutes you should see about 15-16 processes/sec running. Instead it fluctuates up and down, sometimes you'll only see 2 sometimes you'll see 30. It's running behind schedule too, which is weird. It's always run behind schedule, but I don't understand why it can't make a schedule it can kind of match.

Still errors !! Message-ID: After fixing a MySQL-bug in the 40.23-1 and upgraded to 4.0.23-3 I ran into following problem and I did before with the text-version. Anyone else having problems getting Nagios cgi scripts to run on Debian Sarge. I installed it this and previous week but it's not running so good. But I I get the message: "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested... If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file." No matter what I've tried, I can't get around this, whether I enable or disable authentication. Anyone know if the newest deb package for Nagios is broken? I currently have authentication turned on. It appears to be working fine, as I am requested to log in with the nagiosadmin account when first accessing the web site or see "tactical overview". But then, any link that accesses status.cgi (and some others) come back with the above message. When I set all the permissions on * in cgi.cfg and go to: Service Detail Host Detail Status Overview Status Summary Status Grid Status Map 3-D Status Map I get the error again. All the .htaccess files are good, permission on the files are good. Things as: Service Problems Host Problems Network Outages Comments Downtime Process Info Performance Info Scheduling Queue Are accesable but there are no things displayed that's been monitoring. Only the DefaultGateway that Nagios has discovered by installing it is beeing seen and has been checked for ping but in items like Report it isn't displayed, I also can't see the details of that devices because of permissions. I don't think its an apache issue. I created my own hello.cgi and put it in the same directory as the nagios scripts and that works fine. also the perlcheck works great ! I've checked and rechecked that I don't have any typos in the various cfg files that require a username to access certain nagios cgi's. What can be wrong ?? Is the problem in the APT-GET install of nagios ? I hope someone will help me because I can't get out and hear great sounds of nagios !

So I didn't do that, maybe in a later stadium. I think I have tried it but didn't know for sure anymore. Yes the username is shown and it's also member of the contactgroup for the hosts that I will see. I see the host in the Scheduling Qeueu but can't access the extra info when I click there on the Host or the Service that it has running.

Yes I have read the CGI-configuration for a hundred times now I think. I have also searched where I can set the Perl-path for these CGI's because when I put a "hello.cgi" in the nagios-cgi dir with the right perlpath in it, it runs great (this after removing the .htaccess there offcourse).

At one of my customers locations we are having issues with the email alerts being obtained from NAGIOS. If you see the emails Nagios is sending out you will notice that there is no information of the service which has gone down but only a change of state to "State : DOWN". This is getting a little painful since these alerts are sent to VP's and MD's of the organisation and i would like to send across alerts with the right information in it. Plese check these emails below and suggest what modification in need to perform in the "misccommands" file to have the emails send out proper "Service" information. Thanks in advance friends.

The process is as following: > The sed/awk/bash scripts on the DB2 servers get the DB2 stats and create the requisite text files with the stats in it. > Nagios Nrpe does a cat of the file on the remote machine and pulls the information across to it. The message are either of the type: "DB2 Buffer Pool Hit Ratio WARNING : Buffer Pool Hit Ratio Low" or "DB2 Buffer Pool Hit Ratio OK : Buffer Pool Hit Ratio Low Fine". But irrespective of which message nrpe pulls from the DB2 servers all you can see is the services showing up via the nagios web interfaces in "OK" in green. This is a lil nausseating, i know its a config issue on my part but i cant figure out what i should be passing via NPRE to nagios such that it displays the "Warnings" in Yellow and "Critical" in Red. Please suggest. Thanks in advance guys.

Tivoli is getting to be a nightmare and hence i had a long time ago deployed Nagios which the customer uses increasingly in production rather than Tivoli. I have achieved DB2 monitoring through Nagios and now want to monitor WebSphere too. Do you of any way of obtaining the WebSphere monitoring parameters from the host operating system on which it resides. All i know is that WAS has its own Performance Monitoring Interface which we can be polled for purposes of obtaining information with respect to the current status of the WAS instance. How do we go about achieving this???. If anyone needs any help with DB2 monitoring please lemme know. Take care and be in touch and thanks in advance dear.

One thing you may like to consider is using Nagios to get better value from the Tivoli investment by using the more responsive Nag CGIs to provide - scheduled downtime - acknowledgements with comments - disabling notifications - periodic re-notification (without TEC rules) for hosts equipped with Tivoli agents. This approach also moves escalation for such hosts from TEC rules into Nagios configuration - a huge advantage. The TEC rules could invoke a program that classifies the Tivoli event (into corresponding Nagios services eg TEC disk, TEC cpu, .. TEC misc) and submit a passive service check result (with ssh or NCSA etc). Incidentally, this may be a way of dealing with your current problems of getting events into Nag - have your existing processes simply format their findings as Nag service check results ( http://your_nag_host/nagios/docs/passivechecks.html ) and get them to Nag somehow ( ssh Nag_Host echo 'Service_Check_Result' > /path/to/Nag/var/rw/nagios.cmd is pretty easy ) This means that all managed elements are visible to Nagios and subject to per service Nagios processing (for notifications etc) configuration. There is a _considerable_ difference in responsiveness and utility between the Nagios CGIs and the Tivoli console viewers (both X and web based).

Recently we got rid of all our slow service checks so we changed the interval from 20 minutes to 5. We've got 4600 services (4300 hosts). Currently we've got 42 hosts down, 4 unreachable. We've got 64 service check failures (90% of those being Service Check Timed Out) The problem is that alot of these timeouts are false positives. Even though it takes 2 seconds to check a host (even when down) nagios times them out. The box isn't overloaded, usually the load average is around 1.0. With that many service checks spread over 5 minutes you should see about 15-16 processes/sec running. Instead it fluctuates up and down, sometimes you'll only see 2 sometimes you'll see 30. It's running behind schedule too, which is weird. It's always run behind schedule, but I don't understand why it can't make a schedule it can kind of match.

If yes, you can specify a special timeout there. If check_by_ssh times out, it returns 2. If the check called by check_by_ssh times out, check_by_ssh will return -1 (UNKNOWN). > service_reaper_frequency=1 > sleep_time=0.25 I guess, these are the best values for you. So a modifaction would be pointless, or? did you tried other combinations there? A service_reaper_frequency of 5 and a sleed_time of 0.2 are not better, or? Another idea: Your nagios user has enough resources? I don't know the max number of processes of you OS. Perhaps there is a way to tune a bit? bandwidth should be no problem....no more ideas. :-/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

Name: check_mysql_rep.pl URL: From ae at op5.se Mon Jan 24 15:53:19 2005 From: ae at op5.se (Andreas Ericsson) Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 15:53:19 +0100 Subject: check_rta (aka check_icmp 0.9) Message-ID: <41F50BDF.90607@op5.se> Hello all. Sorry for cross-posting, and sorry for posting twice to nagiosplug-devel (just thought I'd bring it in in a fresh thread). After an almost complete rewrite of check_icmp, I'm looking for some testers of the check_rta plugin. check_rta is basically the work-name of the next check_icmp release, so if you're using check_icmp you might want to try this one instead. It would be particularly useful for me if you could get it to work on something other than GNU/Linux systems. You can find it at http://oss.op5.se/nagios which will be the only point of distribution until I'm satisfied enough with it to relinquish CVS control to the official developers, at which point it should take the place of the now-present check_icmp plugin. Feedback would be extremely welcome. Features in general (also found in check_icmp) ---------------------------------------------- It doesn't spawn an external process to read the output of another program (like check_ping and check_fping does) and should thus be more portable (at least easier to port), more lenient on CPU cycles and a bit faster. New features (not found in check_icmp) -------------------------------------- Faster DOWN determination. It can properly interpret icmp messages from other hosts (routers usually) and foresee when a host will be down definitely. Try strace ./check_rta 193.201.96.145 (which doesn't exist) to see what I mean. Faster UP determination. If a host responds promptly to a ping packet and has no packets on the wire, check_rta will pelt it with packets as fast as it can. Sending of pings won't be delayed as long as the host hasn't got any packets en route, but it will wait the packet interval (-i flag) before sending a new if any previous packet hasn't either come back or generated an icmp error somewhere along the route. Sourcequench backoff. Intervals are increased when routers/hosts advertise they are loosing packets due to high send ratio (currently hardcoded backoff factor, but I'll fix that later). check_host mode. ln -s check_rta check_host. check_host will ping all the resolved IP-addresses for the host (if fed a DNS name, or all given IP-addresses otherwise) and will return OK on any packet received what so ever, making it superfast for host checks. This overrides -w and -c. perfparse output for multiple hosts/addresses. Bug fixes --------- RTA precision is now more accurate. No u_sleep() calls are made, which would obfuscate rta values in check_icmp, causing them to be higher for a higher packet interval (since the program sometimes was in u_sleep() when packets came in). Code is cleaner and compiles without warnings with stricter rules on all GCC's from 2.95.3 through 3.4.3. It should never try to do anything that is forbidden on any system (like call select(2) with bad args) and tries hard to only use portable functions and system calls (no asprintf() or other gnu extensions here). Please download a copy and try it out. I need to know if it works properly on the OS'es supported by nagios plugins before I drop the old check_icmp in favor of this one and relinquish CVS control of it to the official plugin developers. Developers; The get_timevar() and get_timevaldiff() functions might be useful in utils.c, although they deal in micro-seconds. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

(nslookup is deprecated, although that probably isn't your problem let's stop using it anyway) BTW I am at the moment trying to write my first plugin which will use Net::DNS perl module to get the SOA of an rbldnsd-hosted zone, giving warning or critical based on how old the SOA timestamp is.

I'm using it for temperature and humidity monitoring and on one location with a water sensor. It comes standard with a combined 1 foot temperature and humidity sensor. A lot of different sensors with different cable length can be combined with it. The SensorProbe has a build in web interface and is snmp enabled. Check http://www.akcpinc.com/ for the full details. I'm collecting the data with Nagios (with warnings) and the performance data is put into a rrd for graphing it with Cacti. In other words: Works Great!

Pre-requisite is Temperature and water Sensor, the water sensor should have a nice long sensor cable, IP preferred, but serial is fine too.. I know for the longest time Nagios website has been advertising the TampTrax, now I see them advertising the EM01 HVAC Monitor. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good sensor that will work well with Nagios? even if there is no plugin for it if it has SUMP or something that I can write a plugin for that would be fine to. --Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

It should build properly on linux, *bsd and solaris now, although I have only tested linux. If anyone would be kind enough to allow me some build-space on a solaris server (or anywhere else where nagios builds and runs, really) it would speed up development tremendously and contribute in a very real way to the progress.

It parses nslookup output, badly, and will either work, display parsing errors, or even more fun just plain segfault. (this is the 1.3 plugin version, I'd hope it's been corrected in 1.4, but I've not looked recently) Dan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

Some ideas maybe: - the arrows could have a text in the middle of them, pointing out what actually happens. And include file names. Like this: PLUGIN --- is defined in ---> COMMAND DEFINITION --- is used to check ---> SERVICE (checkcommands.cfg) - maybe it could also be beneficial to make graphically clear that hostgroups are containers for hosts? Like having a few boxes for hosts pointing to a common hostgroup. Host1 Host2 Host3 [...] | | | | --------------------------- | Hostgroup 1 | --------------------------- Or even use simplified real life names, i.e. like this: Oracle Sybase Postgresql [...] | | | | --------------------------------- | Hostgroup DATABASE BOXES | --------------------------------- Exactly the same goes for contacts / contactgroups I guess. - In any case, a textual explaination should be nearby, on the same page or such.

Hi nagios users! I'm trying to do a overview of nagios' core objects. The objects needed for nagios to run. I also want to show the relations between these "core" objects. So I did a nice(?) image. http://momocat.de/nagios/img4.jpg Did i miss something? Thanks for your attention. I would also contribute this image to the manual, if you find it's useful. Especcially nagios starters have their difficulties to see the connections between the objects. If you want to give some critics to the image, feel free. regards, Stephan PS: As the list does not like images, I resent this mail with an URL link inside.

Message-ID: <41F6502E.4080007@Examen.com> Hi Everyone! Well....I have all my Un*x boxen now monitored (along with my networked HP printers...my NT admins LOVE getting emails about "Low Toner"....NOT!) :-) So, it's ime to move on to the Windoze machines, however I am getting mixed signals. What is the common method for monitoring Windows machines? I have seen references to: nsclient, ns_net, ns_client (maybe the same as nsclient), nrpe_nt, snmp, etc. I know, like PERL, there are lots of "right ways" to do what I want (basic monitoring of the systems and processes/services), but I want to go with one that is the "norm". I have seen that there might be memory leakage problems with nsclient (plus it's not currently being maintained)...so what is everyone using now?

What is the procedure for having DNS name > resolution thrown into the mix? None what so ever. The default setting for virtually any sane distribution is (in /etc/host.conf or equivalent); order hosts,bind multi on Meaning that /etc/hosts will take priority over DNS lookups (order hosts,bind - DNS lookups won't be done in case an entry is found in /etc/hosts), although DNS lookups will be made if none is found (multi on). In general, it's desirable to keep /etc/hosts to a minimum (usually only an entry for localhost), so as to keep hostname configuration centralised through the ISC tools available for it. If this is not the case for your system, you need to sit down and think of a reason to keep it any other way. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

Message-ID: I installed Nagios 1.3 using apt under Debian testing, which picked up all of the dependencies automatically (a real bonus). I then grabbed Nagios 2.0x from CVS, and installed it manually (which was easy, because all of the dependencies were fulfilled from the apt install). I then removed the 1.3 install (again, via apt), but chose to keep all of the dependencies. I use "debfoster" to manage which packages are kept and which are removed, and it really helped to keep things in order for this process.

You will need the freetds libs and a bunch of perl modules or the tsql binary, but you should find at least two plugins that can check MSSQL (it shamelessly uses the tabular datastream protocol, so you will be able to check sybase servers with the same plugin). I've never heard of a Progress database server before. Sounds like ripoff of the well-known and much-loved Postgres if you ask me. check_pgsql is included in the standard plugin distribution. You need the postgres development files (headers) as well as the shared (or static) client libraries installed for the plugin distribution to find it. Please let me know if there is a solution already for this, or if we have to start from scratch. If the latter, I make sure the scripts become available for the community!

Unfortunately, it's not a rip-off (made it a whole lot easier if it was!), see http://www.progress.com for more information (this was NOT meant as an advertisement, merely informative. We believe there are better commercial and non-commercial databases out there, but unfortunately we have a customer using this one...) Again thanks for all the suggestions on where to look!

You are right, there must be some explanation. In case of the presentation, my oral explaination will clear it up. This image is more an additional helper. The image shows also another fact. You have quiet a lot of arrows. If you want to do a config software for nagios, you have to implement all these arrows. I think that amount of work prevents the existence of a full (open source) featured config solution.

Since it's not being actively maintained anymore we've decided to start testing with NC_Net, which is supposed to act as a drop-in replacement for NSClient. So far so good. It seems to work beautifully (although it consumes slightly more memory than NSClient) on all NT5 based platforms. Support for NT4 is not so good though, since .NET framework is required and seldom installed on older platforms. So... we're using NSClient, but moving to NC_Net (mainly due to the fact that NC_Net is being maintained).

If I would to show all possebilities, I would need a A2-sheet of paper or so. *g* I relooked the manual: the entry "check_period" is red, but I defined no check_periods in my nagios 2.0b1 config. Nagios did not complain about that. So I guess, no check_periods are needed for hosts, or? If so, the entry "check_period" can be colored black instead of red. Notification periods are needed for hosts, I forgot *O_o* . And yes, contacts need time periods, indeed. Here an updated version: http://momocat.de/nagios/img4_2.jpg Thanks again for looking at it.

The request has been made by my supervisors to have it resolve hosts via DNS. The order can be either /etc/hosts -> DNS or DNS -> /etc/hosts. What is the procedure for having DNS name resolution thrown into the mix?

Since we have a number of NT4 servers, I guess we'll stick with nsclient. I am having a problem determining the status of services and processes where the name contains one or more spaces. I have tried all manner of quoting but to no avail. Any suggestions on how to find out the exact service name to use?

(We are > using what shows up in the services dialog box on the NT machine). :-( One way is to ask NSClient itself: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l ALL This will emit a comma-separate list of services with names you would use to check via NSClient. However, I've see that the above seems to no longer work in Windows 2003, so it is not necessarily a reliable method to try. May have to switch to NC_Net as Andreas mentioned earlier. You can also use Perl Win32 modules to get this list -- below is a script that enumerates all service names and their execution account names on all domain servers -- feel free to adapt to your needs :).

For this moment I have found the send_nsca for win32 but any program to feed it with information. Suggestions please. ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: ?250 MB GRATIS!

On NT4, you have to find the actual name from the registry as described in another reply. This can sometimes be trickier than you might think since the registry key name is the service name so you have to know it in order to find it. :) Phil ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

It is indeed a very useful thing to have. You can get what I presume is the same plugin from the Nagios Exchange NRPE plugins page - http://www.nagiosexchange.org/NRPE_Plugins.66.0.html - and maybe also from the current NRPE_NT home (http://www.miwi-dv.com/nrpent/) and forum (http://forum.miwi-dv.net/nagios/).

Message-ID: <15143.194.69.224.7.1106747644.squirrel@194.69.224.7> Hello all, before posting to the list I've been searching on the archives but couldn't find my answers... let me waste some bandwidth :-) I have some IA64-based systems running HP-UX 11.23 which need to be monitored from a remote Nagios box. A check-host-alive works perfectly but problems arise when trying to use check_nrpe... Two different scenarios: a) NRPE being launched from the inetd: nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i This produces the well-known error message "Could not complete SSL handshake." on the server side b) NRPE being launched as daemon: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d This produces errors like "Could not read request from client, bailing out..." on the client side. Because these systems are IA64 the patch described under http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=191&expand=false&showdesc=false is not applicable. I was told by the HP Support that the /dev/*random issue has been fixed on patch 30286 and integrated on HP-UX from its version 11.20. The other 5 points described in the FAQ have been checked as well. So, has anyone stumbled with this problem on Itanium architectures under HP-UX 11.23 before and has found a solution for NRPE to work??

I'd like to be able to fetch the status (up or down) of each of the eight ISDN lines from the 2600, and the status of the one DSL line from the 828. Eventually, I'd like to set up nine seperate Nagios service checks, one for each line, which reports "up" or "down".

I haven't done anything with this particular MIB - but your OID is incomplete for check_snmp. the base oid should be .1.3.6.1.4.9.9.26.1.1.1.1.16 (note four 1s between 26 and 16) To the base oid you need to append the table index values namely: 1. demandNbrPhysIf (the ifIndex value of the D channel for the neighbor) 2. demandNbrId (a table sequence number) Also the base oid above - is for RowStatus and does not tell you anything about the line being up/down . The NeighborTable only stores call information. for the object descriptions... ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/CISCO-ISDN-MIB.my What do you want to monitor for the isdn connections? -- -sg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

Focusing exclusively on the execution of submit_check_result and presuming you're using 1.x, ocsp_command and obsess_over_services (not simply 'Obsess') should be in nagios.cfg and not service.cfg. In your service definitions or template you'll also need to set obsess_over_service to 1 for each service result you wish to send to the central server (probably all). Nagios must be restarted after making these changes/additions. You should also verify that submit_check_result can be executed by the user Nagios is running as. It's common to see that it runs as the root user but not as the Nagios user.

I haven't done anything with this particular MIB - but your OID is incomplete for check_snmp. the base oid should be .1.3.6.1.4.9.9.26.1.1.1.1.16 (note four 1s between 26 and 16) To the base oid you need to append the table index values namely: 1. demandNbrPhysIf (the ifIndex value of the D channel for the neighbor) 2. demandNbrId (a table sequence number) Also the base oid above - is for RowStatus and does not tell you anything about the line being up/down . The NeighborTable only stores call information. for the object descriptions... ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/CISCO-ISDN-MIB.my What do you want to monitor for the isdn connections? -- -sg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

Then supply the value to the -k parameter of check_ifoperstatus. Also be sure to have the IOS configuration nail down the ifIndex values... "snmp-server ifindex persistent" If you were interested in monitoring "all" the admin up interfaces on a router, then you can use "check_ifstatus" instead. It covers all interfaces that are supposed to be up - summary results report up/down/dormant interfaces. -- -sg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

This is the secondary dns server. It's in no way different from the primary, yet the primary server never does that. Has anyone seen this ?

Message-ID: <41F882E5.9020005@qut.edu.au> Hi all, I'm using Nagios to gather statistics on our central lab computers, and use that information to display availability graphs to the student body. These lab hosts have a 'Lab PC available' service which is passive and is in state OK if the PC is at the C-A-D screen and in state CRITICAL if it is not (logged on, rebooting, got coffee spilt on the motherboard...) We do a service cluster check on these services to see how many hosts are available (i.e. the PC is able to be logged onto) and we parse out the numbers from the cluster check of how many OK/CRITICAL states exist and convert that into a pretty web display. I've just moved to Nagios 2.0b1 from 1.2 and upgraded to check_cluster2 (due to the new format of the status record) and noticed something strange: The number that the cluster checks return do not add up to the numbers of OK and CRITICAL service checks that show up on the Service Status Details view of a given lab. Here's an example: A201 cluster check ok: 19 ok, 0 warning, 0 unknown, 2 critical There are 87 hosts in A201, so there should be a total of 87 OK/CRITICAL states returned by the cluster check. There are more than two critical 'Lab PC availability' services in the hostgroup for A201 and there are more than 19 'Lab PC availability' services in an OK state. For all the other cluster checks that are performed, only up to 22 results are included in the cluster check result, even though many more will be defined in the service definition and hence the cluster check (See example below.) I've had a squiz in the check_cluster2.c code and I can't see anything that would hiccup at >22 services being shoved into it. (I would expect an error to occur if there was a limit on the line length? Truncation would occur?) I've done testing and I've found the following results: 1) For the only lab that has <21 hosts, the cluster check works as expected. (Nine hosts in this lab.) 2) I incrementally changed the status of the 'Lab PC available' service in another lab to CRITICAL. As soon as have set the first 22 services to critical the cluster check will only return '1 ok, 21 critical' So it seems that the check_cluster2 plugin will only return the status of the first 22 services and then only returns '1 ok, 21 critical' when the first 22 services are all critical. Has anyone seen this problem before? Argh!
