It's been one of the standard plugins for quite a while. It's actually check_by_ssh. It can be used to execute a plugin living on a remote host via ssh and return the results to Nagios. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

There are macros for it in lib/snprintf.c which can circumvent this. Adding #undef HAVE_VA_COPY #undef HAVE__VA_COPY to the top of the file should at least make the plugins compile, although I can't guarantee they won't segfault en masse. That will depend on your systems vsprintf() implementation. If it's at all possible, you should try running Nagios on either Linux or *BSD. Older systems doesn't have the asprintf() function and the current plugin distribution sadly relies heavily on it being there. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

We have an integrated MRTG/Nagios setup here, with several thousand services being monitored by both. I've used the routers2 frontend to MRTG, and set up web cross-linking between the two so that the host/service extinfo has links to MRTG and the MRTG pages can embed the Nagios service status pages. This works well, since MRTG is no use at alertnig and Nagios does not (natively) handle graphing. I have some MRTG plugins that can query the Nagios agents, and currently run MRTG and Nagios queries in parallel. However, we're investigating the check_rrd Nagios plugins to alert on the RRD files from MRTG, and the perfparse for Nagios to feed data to MRTG.

Is this handled any differently in version > 2.0? There are several ways of doing it, but they're all rather clunky (IMHO). I'd like to see something along the lines of: $USER1$/check_http ... $CONDARG4${-p $ARG4$} along with the ability to have null arguments as in: check_http!a!b!c!!e so that if the fourth argument is omitted then the "-p $ARG4$" is dropped and you get the default http port whereas if you want a different port then check_http!a!b!c!3192!e. That still means a lot of extra stuff in your service checks. So maybe a better approach would be to allow argument over-riding. Your template would then have check_http!a!b!c!d!e where you specify all options giving them their default values but in the specific service checks you could have "command_arg4 3192". I expect somebody can think of reasons why neither of the above could be implemented and somebody else (or maybe the same person) can think of a far better way of doing it. I'm not attached to either of those approaches, they are just first thoughts - if somebody has a better way of doing it then that's great. I'm not holding my breath though - if it were a popular request and easy to implement then it would have gone into Nagios ages ago. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I'm working on overloading the plugins a bit to support behaviour like this.

String mangling is rather expensive and error-prone. Checking if(str[0] == 0) from the command executed is a fairly simple process. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Easy for options which take string arguments and where the string "0" is never valid or sensible: $opt_x ||= $opt_x_default; A little extra work for options which take numeric arguments and where the numeric value 0 is valid and sensible but some other numeric value is the default: $opt_x = $opt_x_default if ($x eq ''); A bigger problem for numerics if you expect the plugin to cope gracefully if somebody manages to not pass "" as the argument for the option and the option is therefore unitialized: $opt_x = $opt_x_default if (not defined($x) or $x eq ''); or: $opt_x .= '' # ensure $opt_x is initialized with something $opt_x = $opt_x_default if ($x eq ''); That's the price you have to pay for asking perl to do run-time checking. Then again, the GetOpt module shouldn't be letting you get away with specifying an option that requires an argument without giving an argument, but I'm sure somebody will find a way. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

In perl there are some overlaps between "0", the null string, the number 0 and unitialized variables, depending on what exactly you do with them. Variable is Is defined? Boolean val Num val String val ----------- ----------- -------- ------- ---------- uninitialized NO false 0 null string null string yes false 0 null string number 0 yes false 0 "0" string "0" yes false 0 "0" string "0.0" yes TRUE 0 "0.0" string "00" yes TRUE 0 "00" In strict mode uninitialized variables cannot be used in comparisons. So if somebody does manage to do something that results in a variable holding an option being uninitialized, as opposed to being initialized with the null string, things break. Outside of strict mode an uninitialized variable is false in a boolean context, 0 in a numeric context and the null string in a string context; in strict mode all you can do with an unitialized variable without causing an error is assign to it. That may seem arbitrary and bizarre to you, but generally that behaviour is exactly what you want most of the time in a language where strings that look like numbers can be used as numbers and numbers can be used as strings. $x = "5"; $x++; print "$x\n"; print "The value is $x\n"; $x = "The value is $x"; print "$x\n"; gives the number 6 as the first output (and $x is now stored as a number rather than a string), 'The value is 6' as the second output (and $x is still stored as as number), the third output is the same but now $x is now stored as a string again. On the other hand, $x = 'five'; $x++; print "$x\n"; gives an answer of one (the string 'five', when evaluated as a number, is equivalent to 0). But $x = '5 four three two 1'; $x++; print "$x\n"; Gives 6 as the answer. Perl takes as much as it can from the start of the string that looks like a number and uses it that way. So 0 and "0" are both false if used as a boolean, because you expect 0 to be false; 0 and "0" are both zero when used as numerics, because you expect 0 to be zero; and both "0" when used as strings, because you expect that as well. Admittedly, it would get very confusing if it were not for perl having different operators for manipulating numbers and string: $x = '0'; $y = 0; $z = '7'; print "$x$y$z\n"; print $x + $y + $z, "\n"; gives '007' for the first answer and 7 for the second. It does make sense. Sort of. Once you get used to it. Where perl gets truly bizarre is that you can do $x = 'perl'; $x++; print "$x\n"; and the output is 'perm', provided you didn't use $x as a string between defining it and the increment, and it only works with auto-increments. There's a reason for all that too, and it's not so you can make hair jokes about perl. > POSIX quite clearly states that empty arguments are still arguments. Any > implementation doing otherwise is decidedly broken, even if it errs on the > side of prudence. There's a difference between the null string and being uninitialized. check_foo -x '' Means $opt_x contains the null string. check_foo -x IF you can somehow sneak it past the shell and the GetOpt module (or whatever method the plugin uses) could conceivably result in $opt_x being undefined, unless something takes steps to ensure otherwise. And that would result in comparisons causing output to standard error and returning what will almost certainly be an incorrect status code for the situation. This situation happens in perl plugins that parse output using regular expressions when they encounter output the author didn't expect. One or more variables are left undefined because the output doesn't match a regex, the variable is used in a comparison and bang (the 1.3.1 check_ntp comes to mind). -- Paul Allen Softflare Support ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I was thinking along the lines of this; command_name check_foo_command command_line check_foo -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "$ARG1$" -p "$ARG2$" Where check_foo is a plugin written in perl that checks something via SNMP. It's reasonable to assume that most will want to give the community as an argument from the service-object, while most want to use the default port. Nagios will translate all 32 $ARGx$ macros even if some aren't set (which is a bit weird, but useful for this purpose) and simply remove the macro-tags since their counterparts will be NULL pointers (as opposed to null strings). So, the resulting command turns out to check_foo -H host -C bar -p "" which means the imaginary variable $port will be set to the null-string and thus it will be defined but will evaluate to false when being evaluated as a boolean expression, as it would have if it wasn't specified at all. The -H argument in this case is not "overloadable" because it doesn't makes sense to have it that way considering how Nagios does things. > things break.

They are not null strings, but they do have the numeric value zero yet have a different boolean value than either 0 or '0'. A potential cause of surprises because a simple $opt_x = 20 unless ($opt_x) is going to behave differently from $opt_x ||= 20 if the plugin is given -x 0.0 or -x 00. Usually perl's implicit type conversions help you, but sometimes they turn around and bite you. >> In strict mode uninitialized variables cannot be used in comparisons. >> So if somebody does manage to do something that results in a variable >> holding an option being uninitialized, as opposed to being initialized >> with the null string, > > This won't be possible.

That should probably work, modulo embedded double quotes. But people are surprisingly inventive and the GetOpt module has some strange twists and turns in it that probably haven't been fully verified for correctness, so it's conceivable that certain input could result in unitialized variables. Which is why I'd probably code a plugin defensively, just to be on the safe side. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Perl's strict deals with "compile time" issues like lexical scoping (declaration rather than initialization). It doesn't do anything with run time issues like undefined variables. That would be noticed by warnings, not strict. It certainly doesn't preclude comparisons with the undefined value or uninitialized variables. In no case is it an error. $ perl -le 'use strict;my $v;if(5==$v){print "equal"}else{print "not equal";}' not equal $ perl -le 'use warnings;my $v;if(5==$v){print "equal"}else{print "not equal";}' Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at -e line 1. not equal -- Darren Dunham ddunham at taos.com Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

I did tests with both to simulate a typical plugin. I don't use either strict or -w often enough for which is responsible for which headaches to make it reliably into my memory (most of the perl I write is one-off, fix up this immediate problem, won't be run by anybody but me). > It certainly doesn't preclude comparisons with the undefined value or > uninitialized variables. In no case is it an error. Add -w and it is a warning - enough usually to mess up your day with a plugin because the variable being undefined when it shouldn't have been usually causes it to bomb out with an error.

That community string would fail with the current code and there's no sane way of making it pass (short of escaping it manually, which is what one needs to do today anyway).

That's a nice idea Andreas. So are you adding the boolean testing to the current nagios plugin infrastructure? The only real negative is that you're then likely to use check commands with more options, and because we're using positional arguments you're likely to end up with lots of empty placeholders e.g. check_command check_http!/foo/bar.html!!!!!404 etc. A nasty example of this is things like check_by_ssh checks, where your arguments are typically on the inner command rather than the other check_by_ssh one e.g. command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -4 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 20 -C '/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -l' command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -4 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 20 -C '/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_swap -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$' I've got 10 or so of these tests defined, and now have a host that is listening on a non-standard ssh port. Adding a '-p "$ARG1$"' to the check_by_ssh is doable, of course, but it necessitates an empty first argument for all test on hosts with standard ssh ports, which is a bit ugly too. Anyone think of an elegant way to handle this? Cheers, Gavin ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

You obviously wouldn't want port to be the sixth argument to generic check_tcp, since it's required when not using one of the symlinks. I'm not looking to removing the need for multiple commands altogether. I just want to improve things a bit so users have more flexibility, that's all. For true overloading one would have to implement parsing in nagios and a more complex syntax. I'm not sure that would help very many people. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

For example: in our SLAs we affirm a availability of 98%. But if there is a Router down because of let's say an Cisco IOS Bug, or something, we couldn't foreknow, this Downtime shouldn't affect our affirmed 98%. But because we couldn't foreknow this fault, we couldn't plan a scheduled downtime before. In cases like this it would be great to plan a scheduled downtime for the past. There has to be a possibility for doing that. I know, that Nagios uses the archived Nagios logfiles to generate the availability reports. What do you have to modify in them to plan such a downtime? Has anyone already done something like this? Thanks in advance!

I know, that Nagios > uses the archived Nagios logfiles to generate the availability > reports. What do you have to modify in them to plan such a downtime? RAFO (Read And Find Out). Schedule downtime with some arbitrary message that you can grep for in the logfiles. grep for it and find out what the syntax is. I've never bothered with it myself. > Has anyone already done something like this? > Probably not. It's a weird sort of thing to want to have. Better then to have a paragraph in the report you send to your customers; "This many hours (this many %) of the aforementioned downtime was caused by issues out of our control, such as bugs in Cisco IOS". If I were your customer, I'd tell you to go stuff it however. The reason the SLA responsibility is never 100% is that things out of the providers control sometimes happen. If you take those mishaps away, the only downtime you can cause is when you've fucked up one way or another (assuming you have some time for patches and upgrades which aren't inside the hours you promise uptime for). -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Message-ID: <59B15593F41BD24591D59436E7226EAD021A366E@Khiphx2.khimetrics.com> I have Nagios Grapher installed, and it's a nice tool. I am using Nagios 2b3. Since I already have graphing of several difference services, I was thinking about how to get the data from a tomcat statistics logfile into nagios, so that I can wrap everything up into one nice tool to manage it with. I was thinking I could write a perl plugin to parse the logfile, and then send back information as perfdata to send to Nagios, which would then be sent to Nagios Grapher. Has anyone done this, suggest against it for any particular reason, any other thoughts? The logfiles are created with dates for when they were started, and statistics are created on the hour. I was thinking about marking each one that's been taken, and calling an event handler if there are any left. Incase for some reason Nagios doesn't run the check when there's new data. Maybe making the check an OK unless there are no files in the intended directory in which case it would give a warning. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have saved exmaple outputs from both which demonstrate the problem, but the HTML files are quite large so I have posted them here: avail.cgi: http://dev.aidworld.org:81/virt2.loband.org-google-avail.html history.cgi: http://dev.aidworld.org:81/virt2.loband.org-google-history.html The report from avail.cgi shows an 18 hour downtime period, from 30-06-2005 16:00:53 to 01-07-2005 10:33:21: SERVICE CRITICAL (Network is unreachable). However, the history shows that the downtime was only 12 minutes: [30-06-2005 16:00:53] SERVICE ALERT: virt2.loband.org;filter www.google.co.uk;CRITICAL;HARD;1;Network is unreachable [30-06-2005 16:10:54] SERVICE ALERT: virt2.loband.org;filter www.google.co.uk;WARNING;SOFT;1;HTTP problem: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 13.370 second response time [30-06-2005 16:12:12] SERVICE ALERT: virt2.loband.org;filter www.google.co.uk;OK;SOFT;2;HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0.205 second response time It seems that avail.cgi counted from the start of downtime until the next Nagios restart, ignoring the fact that the service came back up. This makes the very nice-looking and potentially useful availability reports, completely useless to me, as I can't trust the figures at all. Does anyone have any ideas?

What is wrong with this? External commands are how NSCA communicates to Nagios. The concept of hard and soft is something the central server has to decide for itself.

Your config appears to look ok as far as you posted it. Maybe you have to look at the path in the insert.pl (you have to config the path to your nagiosgraph.conf in the insert.pl and show.cgi! ) > PS: Played with passive checks today, as well (SNMPTT/SEC).

Any quick shots on that from your side, > probably? :-) The "Service has not been scheduled yet" is ok, because the Nagios Server which receives the passive checks won't schedule them unless you configure the passive check + an active check. For SNMPTT you have to browse the list, there are pretty good posts for this in combination with windows eventlog checks in the list. Have a nice day!

Hi Seems like you run the cgi with "assume initial states" and "assume state Retention" flags on. If these options dont corrulate with your options in nagios.cfg, you'll might get wrong Results, i've seen this a couple times with the 1.2 cgi's at least. Check your nagios.cfg, and run avail.cfg with correct flags if the options differ.

In nagios.cfg I have: log_initial_states=1 retain_state_information=1 Does that correlate with both options being turned on in avail.cgi, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Your options is correct, seems like there is something fishy going on. The avail.cgi don't need the "log_initial_states" option, it's mainly Used for external reporting. In order to pin this problem down, you might wanna try to run the avail.cgi with the "assume initial states" flag Turned off, and see if you get a different result. Also, try the latest cvs version of the avail.cgi, who knows Maybe the issue is allready resolved. /andr? ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

No, nagiosgraph and perfparse are two totally different Types of Programs to generate graphs. In fact, nagiosgraph uses rrd files and uses a perl script to push the plugin output into those rrd files, and perfparse uses a mysql db and some other ways to handle the data. > I know perfparse has a sourceforge page. Perhaps you should look into it? I know perfparse, too.

There are no events logged for that service between the transition to SOFT OK, and the nagios restart.

This brings up a question for me. On the 'rw' directory, I always just made the owner apache:apache. If I issue a command via the web page, the file that gets created is going to be written by apache, not nagios. This says to do it a different way http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html Would I run into problems keeping the web server and nagios seperate? Nagios isn't the only website running so I figured it's better to keep the two seperate. -- -JasonQ- ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I've set up everything so that snmp traps sent from Cisco ATM router write correctly to nagios.cmd. I've set up a service to handle more Virtual lines, and to declare which VRF virtual line is going up or down, using the text space in the nagios.cmd line. Here's nagios.cmd: [1120576366] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;atm1-mi;MPLS-VRF;0;milko Yet, I was forced by Nagios to set up also a dummy active check (check_dummy), otherwise it would refuse to startup. services.cfg define service { use generic-service name passive-service is_volatile 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 max_check_attempts 10 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 notification_interval 60 ; 2h active_checks_enabled 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r check_command check_dummy!3 check_period 24x7 check_freshness 1 register 0 } define service{ use passive-service host_name atm1-mi service_description MPLS-VRF contact_groups admins-SMS } checkcommands.cfg: define command{ command_name check_dummy command_line $USER1$/check_dummy $ARG1$ } Now, the BIG problem is that Nagios parses nagios.cmd, but the status reported is the one set in check_command statement, and not the one reported in nagios.cmd. So I always get all lines in UNKNOWN(=exit status 3) state. Any hint? Please help Regards, Mariano -- ------------------------- Mariano Cunietti System Administrator Enter S.r.l.

If so, read the Retention Notes at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html. Does the Scheduling Queue show a valid Next Check time for this service? It should show 'N/A'. A valid time would indicate a retention problem. You also have freshness checking enabled but didn't specify your freshness_check_interval from nagios.cfg. If your freshness_check_interval is <= 60 seconds you'd probably see the results above. I'd try disabling freshness checking on this service to see if that helps resolve the problem.

It sounds like you may have retain_state_information enabled. If you do, and previously had obsess_over_service set to 1 then the values in the retention file will take precedence over the values in the config.

OTOH, why do we have log files (nagiosgraph.log) if errors like these are not logged there? Anyway, thanks for pointing me to re-think things. ;-) Have a good one, you all!

I sym-linked a /home/nagios/public_html/ directory to the Nagios CGI directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin. Everything seems to work and cgiwrap seems to be working but I also use authentication (Digest authentication) to authenticate my users. In Nagios authenticated users are then used to determine what access is granted to the Nagios web console. But after installing CGIWrap Nagios seems unable to work out what user is signed in and hence doesn't correctly authorize users. In Nagios this shows up as the signed in user name being replaced with a ?, ie. instead of the console saying jsmith is signed in it says that ? is signed in. I am running Red Hat ES 4 with Apache 2.0.52, Nagios 2.0b3 and cgiwrap 3.9. Happy to provide any further information if this is not detailed enough.

Hints are: in nagios.cfg process_performance_data=0 http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/perfdata.html Out of the performance data you can perhaps see where your latencies comes from. Other ways were to view a 'top' and have a look to the swap memory, the load and perhaps the 'wa' CPU count Its not quiet good to have a server swapping, to have a high load and very ugly if your server is waiting for I/O...

Basically this works fine. However I have a problem with timeperiods I do not understand. What I want is to have nagios check a servive (load on a linux system) only in the time or 00:00 -> 22:00 because I know that at about 23:00 (11:00pm) there will be a load peak on the system checked that would lead to a nagios warning or error fpr this service. So i thought to define a timeperiod that excludes this period of time and then in the services.cfg to used this limited timeperiod definition for the check_period statement. According to the documentation this should keep nagios from checking this service if the current time is not valid. The configuration is given below. Allthough I thought this should work, it doesn't. The service is still checkek in the time of 22:00->00:00 and I get an nagios error for this service at 23:10. But why? Next I tried to write a undefined timeperiod in the servicedefinition below. Simply a name like xyz instead of 2allbut22__00". Nagios restarted without any problems which I consider even more strabge. Next I move the timeperiod.cfg file away from /etc/nagios and restarted nagios again. This time it complained that it is unable to open the timeperiods.cfg file. Does anyone have an idea whats going wrong? Thanks a lot Rainer ------------ The config: ------------ -- timeperiod.cfg: define timeperiod { timeperiod_name allbut22__00 alias All time but 22:00-24:00 sunday 00:00-22:00 monday 00:00-22:00 tuesday 00:00-22:00 wednesday 00:00-22:00 thursday 00:00-22:00 friday 00:00-22:00 saturday 00:00-22:00 } --service.cfg: define service { host_name myhostname service_description Load of myhostname name myhostname max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 2 check_period allbut22__00 notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r contact_groups linux-admins check_command "/usr/bin/nagios-stat -w 5 -c 10 load myhostname.uni-koblenz.de" } -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainer Krienke, Universitaet Koblenz, Rechenzentrum, Raum A022 Universitaetsstrasse 1, 56070 Koblenz, Tel: +49 261287 -1312, Fax: -1001312 Mail: krienke at uni-koblenz.de, Web: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke Get my public PGP key: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke/mypgp.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

So there is the following line in the checkcommands.cfg: command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -t 30 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u "$ARG1$$HOSTADDRESS$$ARG2$" -a "bla;foo:pwd" where "bla;foo" is a fix statement for the mandant;client combination, folowing by the pass, seperated by ":" .

Why? This test have had no packet loss, the machine is working nicely....but... Another strange thing I noticed: if have "max_concurrent_checks=120", why are so many times that nagios is running only 1,2,3,4 plugins at the same time? It's true, I'm very confused....

Hints are: in nagios.cfg process_performance_data=0 http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/perfdata.html Out of the performance data you can perhaps see where your latencies comes from. Other ways were to view a 'top' and have a look to the swap memory, the load and perhaps the 'wa' CPU count Its not quiet good to have a server swapping, to have a high load and very ugly if your server is waiting for I/O...

The only macro's you have available for notification directly from Nagios are listed here -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/macros.html That being said, your notification command can be any script you like. It is certainly possible with a little programming to take the relevant macro's in as command line arguments and gather additional information from other sources to include in the email that you send. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I recently upgraded my Debian server to Sarge. Nagios continued to function properly after the upgrade, with one exception: I no longer see my extended host/service information icons on the status web page. I've looked around on Google and in the documentation, but I can't find anybody else who has mentioned this problem. My nagios version is now 1.3. I'm not certain what it was before the upgrade, although it was probably less than a year old. In my cgi.cfg, I have these two lines which are supposed to include the (unchanged) extended information for each host and service: xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/serviceextinfo.cfg The services file starts off like this: define serviceextinfo{ name rrd-service register 0 icon_image graph.jpg icon_image_alt Performance graph notes_url /nagiosgraph/show.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$ } define serviceextinfo{ use rrd-service service_description Check disks host_name ads1-vpn,db1-vpn,db2-vpn,db3-vpn,files,greatdance-vpn,newns1- vpn,newns2-v } As mentioned, everything else is working properly. Did the syntax for extended info recently change? I tried copying the serviceextinfo objects directly into cgi.cfg, but this didn't make a difference.

Is there some way to view debugging output of the cgi to see what is going on? I didn't change the extinfo files when I upgraded. They were working before the upgrade, so I can only assume that they contain no errors. > 2. if the cgi.cfg contains "xedtemplate_config_file=" with files that > do not > exists. > > means if you have: > xedtemplate_config_file=1.cfg > xedtemplate_config_file=2.cfg > xedtemplate_config_file=3.cfg > > and 1.cfg and 3.cfg only exists. only the data from 1.cfg will be > shown. Again, the configuration files are un-changed from before the update.

Why? This test have had no packet loss, the machine is working nicely....but... Another strange thing I noticed: if have "max_concurrent_checks=120", why are so many times that nagios is running only 1,2,3,4 plugins at the same time? It's true, I'm very confused.... Thx in advance, Javier. -----Mensaje original----- De: Hendrik Baecker [mailto:b00mer at gmx.net] Enviado el: mi?rcoles, 06 de julio de 2005 10:49 Para: Javier Castillo Alcibar CC: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Asunto: Re: [Nagios-users] performance problems Hello Javier, try to figure out where your Service Latencies comes from. Hints are: in nagios.cfg process_performance_data=0 http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/perfdata.html Out of the performance data you can perhaps see where your latencies comes from. Other ways were to view a 'top' and have a look to the swap memory, the load and perhaps the 'wa' CPU count Its not quiet good to have a server swapping, to have a high load and very ugly if your server is waiting for I/O...

The documentation looks pretty good. However, I'm wondering if Wikipedia is the correct place for it. Why not add it to the Nagios wiki instead? I suspect that Wikipedia people may delete the configuration information as "not encyclopedia-like". If you move the info to the Nagios wiki, you can add an external link on wikipedia pointing to the nagios wiki. -- Kurt Yoder ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

With the 2.0b I dont have more this error... In the 1.x tree, database support consists solely of storing current host, service and program status data. No historical data is stored in the database. The CGI's used the database info for current information and the nagios.log archives for historical data (trends, availability, etc). With the 2.0 development version, all database support has been removed from the core code in favor of the NEB (Nagios Event Broker) which allows for greater flexibility and a plugin like approach. The previously mentioned nagios-db project is one such plugin that emulates the 1.x database support. I believe that it also stores historical data in the database as well. The _key_ difference is that the core nagios processes and CGIs will _always_ use flat files for everything. To use the database stored information you'll either need to use the PHP scripts included with nagios-db or create your own. It's impossible to guess what your availability report problem might be with so little specific information. If you want help with that, post specific details about the type of report you are running, the time period, initial state option, etc as well as the log entries for that host in nagios.log and the archives within that time period as well as the backtracked archives that you are specifying. Chances are that Nagios isn't able to find any log entries within your time period for that host or service or can't determine the initial state within the time period or backtracked archives. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

We have a AIX machine named Kramer which is a test system and has nrpe commands set to send a warning page/email if a filesystem is less than 10% free and critical for less than 5%. Our users are upgrading a peoplesoft database which has caused the database to slowly grow and fill up the filesystem. Yesterday we had a notification that a service on a host went from OK to WARNING. A filesystem went below the 10% watermark. We acknowledged the problem and decided to wait until it had reached the CRITICAL state. We were told by our previous monitoring system, that has a much lower threshold of 98%, this same filesystem had less than 2% free. I looked at Nagios and noticed the service went to a CRITICAL state, but the (Has been acknowledged) was still there preventing any notifications from going out. What methods can be used to change the acknowledgements to "evaporate" if the service state switches from WARNING to CRITICAL? -Jake jlaackATalegent.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

I didn't see any replies. Mr. Melvin wrote: I"m seeing an annoying paging behavior with our Nagios implementation. We have a number of Windows boxes being monitored -- each box has several (4-10) services being monitored on it. Most of the service checks are made through NSClient. The annoying behavior is, if NSClient crashes, Nagios detects all the services on the box as failing, and sends out a notification for each service. All our notifications go to a site hotpager, so one person gets 8 pages in a row when the system fails, and then another 8 when NSClient is restored. I"ve created a checkcommand to watch NSClient itself (basically I just test on the CLIENTVERSION variable), and I"d like to make each of the other NSClient-based service checks on the system dependent on this NSClient check. The problem I"m running into, and the thing I want help with, is that it doesn"t appear possible to define a service dependency for a host group, only for individual hosts. I"d rather not have to add (# of Windows servers) * (avg. # of service checks per server) service dependency entries to my configuration. Is there any way I can define a configuration entry along the lines of (not remotely real config code) servicedependency { hostgroup_name win_servers service check_nsclient dependent_service check_win_diskfree_c } so that all my Windows hosts know that the win_diskfree_c check is dependent on check_nsclient on the same host? This would allow me to do what I want with only one service dependency entry for each NSClient based service check, which is manageable. Alternately, is there some other way to achieve this effect? I"m anticipating similar issues on the UNIX side if a NRPE client craps out... Thanks! - Lee My question is very similar except that I want to use the PING service as the trigger. If PING = CRITICAL Send notification that host cannot be reached Don't send any other service notifications When PING = RECOVER Send notification that host is back up Don't send any other service notifications -Channon ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

It sounds like it will do just what I want. However I am trying to use this Nagios plugin with Intermapper (a similar networking monitoring app for Mac OS X). Intermapper fully supports using Nagios plugins with their standard arguments, but since I'm a Nagios noob I'm having some difficulty setting up the plugin's arguments to report error conditions on a printer. It sounds like each plugin has a help page somewhere but without a proper Nagios install I can't get to them :) Can anyone offer some suggestions on the argument I need to use with this plugin, to report out of paper/toner/paper jam, etc? thanks, Scott -- _________________________________________ Scott Doenges Assistant Macintosh Specialist Student Computing Labs, Marriott Library University of Utah (801) 585-9811 http://www.macos.utah.edu http://scott.scl.utah.edu Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

If the cable is the same as a Fenton UPS cable thats fine, but of more inportance is the protocol. You mentioned the software was RUPS, hence my guess is RUPS protocol.

I'm running Nagios 1.2. I've just recently started running into problems where Nagios is writing files to the /tmp directory but does'nt seem to be removing them. The files start with the Ip address of the host that it's checking with an extension containing a series of letters and numbers. For some reason Nagios is filling up the /tmp directory with the maximum number of files allowed in a directory (not space wise) which causes the email server to break on the server making Nagios useless. This is running on Debian (woody). I've checked the permissions on the tmp directory and it's rwx by everyone. Has anyone run into this problem and what did you do to fix it?

I got this little failure long time ago and since them just deleted the files because they don't comes regulary. But I think on a special error with the MS-SQL Check this files were written and were not be cleaned up by the script. I am sorry but until now I had no chance to find out where to change the plugin, it looks clean for me. In every situation the 'rmcmd' is called for every of the three tmpfiles before script termination. A few days ago I've changed the filenames of the three tmpfiles and waiting for this special error to find out in which section of the script the error comes from. Now it looks like that the error occurs when the check_mssql.sh runs into a Service Check timeout: This is in the Nagios-Log: [06-07-2005 21:24:33] SERVICE ALERT: WIN100A023;MS-SQL 2000;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;(Service Check Timed Out) And these are the files: -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 0 Jul 6 21:24 10.2.70.132-error.KayB5a -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 0 Jul 6 21:24 10.2.70.132-result.c8dPP7 -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 12 Jul 6 21:24 10.2.70.132-tmp.SoGrv7 On Monday I have to find out from our Database Guys what was happend to their MS SQL on that date.

If you choose the MIB route, you need either firmware in the UPS that talks SNMP or an SNMP agent on the host that talks to UPS over the serial connections. In both cases you still need a software to control the host shutdown sequence. > >> If the cable is the same as a Fenton UPS cable thats fine, but of more >> inportance is the protocol.

The problem occurs with MTA behaviour that is becoming more common: banner delays. The theory is, that if someone sends you data before the end of the banner (before a line starting '220 '), they are probably a spammer Well behaved mail software waits for the checkpoints instead of just blasting data down the pipe. Unfortunately the plugin isn't well behaved. As soon as the cnnection is formed, it sends the HELO to the server being checked. It should wait for a like starting with three digits and a space. If the three digits are 220, then everything is OK. Otherwise, there's an error. Unfortunately I don't know enough C to write a patch :( Can anyone help? -- Avleen Vig Systems Administrator Personal: www.silverwraith.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

It's a 64-bit Intel architecture (EM64T) machine, installed with the 64-bit variant of SLES9. When I try to compile nagios 1.2 with MySQL support, I initially got the errors: mysql/mysql.h and mysql/errmsgs.h not found. I fixed those thanks to the user-list archives. But unfortunately, I now get these errors during make all: /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux /bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libm.so when searching for -lm /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux /bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libm.a when searching for -lm /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux /bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux /bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc Followed by a lot of 'unreferenced' messages. 'incompatible': does that mean the 64-bit libraries are not compatible and I should use 32-bit libraries instead? Or is it something else? Anybody have a similar setup? My ./configure options are as follows: ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/nagios \ --with-nagios-user=nagios \ --with-nagios-grp=nagios \ --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib \ --with-gd-inc=/usr/include \ --with-mysql-xdata \ --with-mysql-lib=/usr/local/mysql/lib/ \ --with-mysql-inc=/usr/local/mysql/include/ \ --with-mysql-status \ --with-mysql-comments \ --with-mysql-extinfo \ --with-mysql-retention \ --with-mysql-downtime The MySQL version used is: 4.0.24 64-bit. I've read on the user-list that this would be a problem since they changed the API from version 3 to 4; but we are running MySQL 4 on the 'old' Nagios-server as well, without problems ?!?!?!

Now to the root of the reason why I needed to enable external commands. I have a host that was going up and down all throughout the weekend due to power issues. This host is now up and functioning, yet nagios is still reporting it as being down. I just ran the check again manually through the web interface, and it's still reporting the host as down. I can ping the host fine from the box that nagios is running on, all other hosts are showing fine. It's just this one host. Is there some kind of cache or anything that I might need to clear in order to correct this issue?

I can execute check_radius as follows from the command line and it appears to function properly: # ./check_radius -H 216.xxx.xxx.xxx -F /etc/nagios/radiusclient.conf -u Username -p Password -t 10 The result from the above command is "Auth OK" without a newline. However, with the service configured, I get the following from Nagios: Service Status Last Check Duration Attempt Status Information RADIUS CRITICAL 07-11-2005 10:44:04 0d 1h 27m 34s 3/3 Auth Error I also noticed that when executing the command manually from the command line, I get the following in my RADIUS logs: Mon Jul 11 10:45:37 2005 : Auth: Login OK: [Username] (from client hostsystem port 0) I do NOT have any information in my RADIUS logs for the attempts by Nagios. After noticing this, I used tcpdump to see what was happening when Nagios attempted the check.

The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions. An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing. I've done the suggested http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/commandfile.html Instructions to fix this issue with no luck. The only way I can run external commands via the nagios interface is by manually chmoddin nagios.cmd to 777. Currently the user/group for this process is nagios:nagiocmd I'm running RH AS 4.0 with apache 2.0.54 and nagios 1.2 Any suggestions would be great. g -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am actually using WS, but AS is the same with more packages. I used the RPMs from DAG. Works great. Only problems I had were related to specific versions of specific plugins, which have nothing to do with the distro of Linux you use. Go for it.

AS 4.0. Do you have SELINUX enabled? Do you see SELINUX errors in /var/log/messages? Make sure your policy allows apache to write to that file/directory. Another common problem is that apache is not a member of the nagiocmd group _or_ wasn't restarted after adding it to that group. Your apache error logs might be informative in that regard as well. -- Marc p.s. Please try to send to the list in text/plain as a matter of courtesy.

Basically, Nagios is complaining that the TTL is being exceeded for this host, yet I have another host in the same office with the same conditions that doesn't get anything like that. So I'm just confused how this came up all of a sudden. Since the second host is just fine, I thought Nagios might have been having some kind of issue.

With respect, I think you are wrong. Initial releases of 2.0 had embedded Perl support with the leak from Hell that you describe. Since 2.0b3, that is no longer case. The embedded Perl support still leaks memory __but__ there are sites with 2,000 plus Perl service checks that think the leak rate is acceptable given the performance boost. I urge you try the embedded Perl support post at 2.0b3 at CVS and let the list know of the leak rate, the number of services and the number of Perl plugin services if you find the rate is unacceptable. Embedded Perl is not like a supercharger; you are prob better off without it than with.

Nope. I disagree. I used the rpm's for 1.2 from Dag's site and it leaked big time. I can show the graphs if you want. I recompiled with the embedded perl option left out and it stopped leaking. Past threads pointed me this way - which is why I tried it. As for 2.0b3 I concur that your efforts may well have stopped what ever leak it is you refer to (noting the feedback in devel) cheers jamie ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

I installed the nagios 1.2 along with the plugins 1.4. As nagios user when I try the following command : ./check_ping -v -H 102.11.17.5 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60% -p 5 I got the following /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 102.11.17.5 ==> /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 102.11.17.5 Critical - Could not interpret output from ping command. While the /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 102.11.17.5 works fine. I believe it is something related to the OS version and the plugin( since it works fine on Madrake) Any idea to solve this? By the way, I also tried to use the check_icmp plugin, as nagios user, the operation is not permitted!!!! While as a root I can get the response.

Basically, one of my hosts was going up and down over the weekend, and it's now back up and running ok but Nagios is still reporting it being down. I've checked the logs and Nagios is seeing it as the TTL expiring. Nothing has changed at all since before the weekend, and this is the only host that it's doing it with. I've pinged the host and saw the TTL=61 and when I ping other hosts, the TTL varies depending on the host. Is there any way Nagios has set the TTL or what the TTL it's looking to use is? I'm just confused as to how this may have happened. We are also looking into the possibility that the NIC on the host was damaged somehow or something else, but if anyone has seen this happen before please let me know!

There are about 110 Services on about 60 hosts active in our Nagios installation. But one week ago (and today again) all the cgis got "Premature end of script headers:" errors and the browser got a status 500. The same configuration (with fewer hosts/services) was running for about three months without any problems until last week. That time I tried to solve the problems by - removing some services/hosts, - delete state/retention information. After the removal of services, the frontend seemed to work. Then I gradually added services and restarted nagios again. So I tried to find the services/hosts that caused the problems. Unfortunately it seemed like no explicit service/host caused the problems. Preflight check worked without errors. So.. After testing around for about half a day in suddenly worked again (it looked like the solution was linked with the deletion of the var/ files) with all services and hosts. After adding a few hosts/services the problems returned today. When I restarted nagios the frontend worked for about 15 seconds, which matched the status_update_interval in nagios .cfg. After increasing this value, the frontend worked for status_update_interval seconds. Now.. while writing this mail I tried to move the files in var/ to /tmp, restarted nagios... and it works now. Can you figure out, what caused the problems? We use Nagios 2.0b3 on httpd 2.0.53 with mod_auth_digest and mod_ssl.

Message-ID: Hello, currently I am running a setup of about 700 hosts with about 6.500 services, all actively checked. This is Nagios v1 with historic "check_nrpep" (compiled via perlcc). About 3.000 of the services get graphed via apan. Nagios runs on one machine, all checks that get graphed are run on a second one (graphs are also generated there). Both machines are high end x86 equipment. Loading status.cgi currently takes about 6 CPU-seconds on a dual-xeon. The service checks (scheduler) is getting behind on a regular basis, concurrency is tuned to the max. Obviously I need to do something about this. In fact I am looking for a solution that will scale up to 2.000 hosts with 15.000 services. What way of scaling to you recommend? I can see three different scenarios: 1. "Divide and conquer" by using many smaller nagios-installations monitoring disjoint host quantities, somehow keeping the configuration loosely in sync (-> contact-data etc.) pros: -> KISS at its best -> will scale "indefinitely" cons: -> syncing of configuration files will be a major PITA -> No common status overview. (Will have to write my own frontend to merge the status information) 2. "Optimize as hell" by using passive service checks only (-> uh, will graphing still work?), switching from apan to something faster, ditching nrpep for nrpe, ...? pros: -> Still KISS cons: -> major changes compared to my current setup would be required -> not sure if this will scale up to the numbers above no matter how well I optimize 3. "Scale like the documentation says" by switching to Nagios 2 beta(!) and setting up the complex "cluster" configuration required to do this. pros: -> doing it the way it is supposed to be done -> people won't kill me for being "weird" when I show them my setup cons: -> major changes compared to my current setup would be required -> using beta software for this -> complexity! I don't really like to maintain n sets of configuration files for n cluster members. I'd have to find a way to generate cluster-member configuration files by parsing the file on the master Has anybody gathered experience with one of the three ways and can recommend / speak against one of them? Are there any large installations that are well documented? Does anybody trust their business on Nagios v2 beta yet? Any help / comments would be highly appreciated. regards, Jochen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

However, one problem we've noticed is that some very useful events that we'd want that other system to see do not trigger global events. Specifically, acknowledgements of a problem would be the most useful. Is there an easy way to add to the events that are considered global? Are there changes to what the global events are in Nagios 2.0? Another trigger for a global even that would be useful is for a system going into downtime. Example: [1121002943] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME;kerberos1;1121002923;1121010123;1;3600;rra;Upgrading to Debian [1121002944] HOST DOWNTIME ALERT: kerberos1;STARTED; Host has entered a period of scheduled downtime [1121010123] HOST DOWNTIME ALERT: kerberos1;STOPPED; Host has exited from a period of scheduled downtime Obviously kerberos1 was put into downtime @1121002944, however, the following global events were still generated: [1121004587] GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER: kerberos1;DOWN;SOFT;1;notify-smarts [1121004608] GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER: kerberos1;DOWN;HARD;2;notify-smarts [1121006152] GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER: kerberos1;UP;HARD;1;notify-smarts Notifying the other system that the host was down (notify-smarts). Since the downtime knowledge isn't also broadcast, the SMARTS system has no way of knowing the host down alerts should be ignored. Alternative, perhaps global events shouldn't be broadcast for systems in downtime. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Principal Software Developer ITSS/Shared Services Stanford University GnuPG Public Key: http://www.stanford.edu/~quanah/pgp.html ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

We had a script which ran over the config file and enabled or disabled the services we wanted on each machine. This also meant you could change the services being montitored by running the script.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <42D3FB89.9080803@aol.com> Hi, AOL UK is using Nagios 2.0b3 for some monitoring (under 1,000 hosts). I'm actively developing plugins and tuning/compiling code for Sun Solaris 8 and 9, no problems so far. There are some real bottlenecks performing monitoring from one host, aside from the fact that some of the built-in plugins are simply wrappers to the real program (check_icmp for a start). If you are after performance, multiple check hosts feeding into a collector is probably the best way, and scrapping some of the built-in nagios checks, in favour of compiled C checks that do all the work instead of being wrappers around other system tools. Also, the built-in Perl compiler should be quite fast for executing Perl scripts, such as HTTPS checks in perl/LWP etc. Hope this helps Rob Moss AOL UK Jochen Tuchbreiter wrote: > Hello, > > currently I am running a setup of about 700 hosts with about 6.500 services, > all actively checked.

I suggest to use check_icmp instead of check_ping. check_ping uses the system's ping, and that output is not standardized. And, of course, if has to start another process - both issues are, to my knowledge, not existing in check_icmp. Which is more flexible anyway, in my opinion.

I have 2 different kind of logins. User1 can see the 2 servicegroups with all the 20 members because user1 is in the correct contactgroups of every individual host where each of the services are running. User2 has a problem. User2 is a member of the contactgroups for the 10 pop3 hosts. User2 is a member of the contactgroups for only 5 imap4 hosts. On the host overview user2 sees all the 15 hosts correctly, they way it should be. But when he looks at the "servicegroup overview" he only sees the the pop3 servicegroup and NOT the imap4 servicegroup..... From the moment there is a service (which is member of a servicegroup) and you aren't a member of the contactgroup for the host which runs this service, you are automatically denied access to the entire servicegroup, although it might contain several services which you entitled to to see. In the above example, as user2 , when I choose 'Service group overview' I should see 2 servicegroups pop3 services with 10 services imap4 services with 5 services What am I missing? Am I overlooking something trivial ? Thanks in advance.

In 2.x, a change has been made so that clicking on this same icon you simply go to the extinfo.cgi page. From that page if you click on the Notes icon (not the supplied icon), you get to the page actually displaying the graphs. Shouldn't the icon take you directly to the extended info?

I believe some of that has to do with exception handling in Nagios when the EPN is compiled in (theoretically it should only be about a 10% loss due to perl creating less efficient machine code than gcc), but I haven't done any profiling on it, so I can't say for sure. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

My config includes something like this: - servicegroup definition: define servicegroup{ servicegroup_name filesystems alias filesystems members host1,filesystems } - service template which includes also the above servicegroup name define service{ use generic-service name check_filesystems service_description filesystems normal_check_interval 15 max_check_attempts 3 servicegroups filesystems register 0 } - and for nearly every host something like this define service{ use check_filesystems host_name hostxx check_command check_nrpe!check_filesystems normal_check_interval 15 contact_groups GROUPX } This means that the servicegroup includes nearly 4k services. After doubling MAX_XODTEMPLATE_INPUT_BUFFER in xdata/xodtemplate.h from 65535 to 131070 the webinterface works again. Maybe the size of this variable should be adjusted to something higher.

This fixes a few issues that were leftover from Patchlevel 1. Below is the changelog for this release: CHANGELOG: - Corrected servicegroup,contactgroup import/export functionality for services and service templates - Corrected CGI config export. - Corrected Host Export issue where the tag name would be set as the host_name, making it a template. - Corrected command name export in main configuration. Find the patchlevel release in the Sourceforge project page. There are no database schema changes required for this fix (however, you should empty your nagios_hosts table). http://fruity.sf.net Taylor ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.

We have our own SMTP service running to receive the e-mails for further processing by other alert tools. Our setup is using the modified sample notify-by-email and host-notify-by-email commands defined in the sample configs using /usr/bin/mail to send the messages. Occasionaly our SMTP service would get a non-stop stream of null's. The way we found this out was our smtp service was starting a new thread for each smtp connection, eventually causing the server to run out of CPU cycles. Of course, since Nagios doesn't actually open port 25 to send the mail, my guess is we have a problem with the way our mail command is executing the notify-by-email and host-notify-by-email commands. define command { command_name notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ } define command { command_name host-notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$ } Is there some way to turn up the logging levels in Nagios that might include the exact arguments passed when sending the notification command?

This completely off-the-cuff so it may or may not work for you, but I would imagine an expect script that navigates into OWA using Lynx or something along those lines would probably get you where you need to go.

If you are interested in how it was achieved, then read on. We have two identical servers with ServeRAID-6M SCSI cards (important to use this type of SCSI card) connected to the same bus of an external SCSI disk unit. They each have two network interfaces, one on the LAN and one joined by a crossover cable. The two servers have Linux RedHat AS4 with Linux-HA installed. The crossover ethernet and LAN are used for heartbeat. I have defined a resource group for Nagios, consisting of a virtual IP, the SCSI RAID logical volume, the filesystem, an instance of Apache, and Nagios. For Nagios, I defined a special resource.d file which changes settings in the xined.d/nsca file and starts/stops Nagios. All Nagios files are installed on the /u02 filesystem, which resides on the external disk unit. This is identified by a disk label and NOT defined in fstab. For MRTG, a similar setup is used on a separate RAID LV, ip address, and filesystem /u01. It adds and removes crontab entries to enable and disable the MRTG data collection. One server is the primary for MRTG, and the other for Nagios. If one goes down, then the other can take over within 2 minutes, enough to have constant monitoring coverage although the web interface experiences a slight outage during the changeover. At the moment, this is working very well. There were a couple of places where error messages needed to be binned if a machine was running cron or xinetd entries for a system not currently mounted, but it was minor. The web servers httpd.cfg files had to be sure to keep all data on the HA filesystems, and to use different filenames in /var, particularly for the /var/run/http.pid The ServeRAID card helpfully locks the other card out of accessing the disks, so we cannot get both machines mounting the filesystem at once. This obviously protects data integrity. All SNMP and firewall rulesets are set to allow access from both machine's static IP addresses. Any nsca processes send to the Nagios virtual IP, and web access is to the virtual Ips (the web servers bind to just the virtual IP address, so we can have two separate instances) If anyone would like more details on how to set up a similar system, and a copy of the haresources.d/nagios script, then please contact me.

Do you use passive service checks by any chance? I reported it as a problem with avail.cgi a few weeks ago, but I guess it's really an internal Nagios state change bug, not avail.cgi. Restarting Nagios should return the service to a hard state, not a good workaround, but better than nothing :-) Cheers, Chris.

The distributed servers run all checks and send the results to the central server. The central server is configured to accept passive service checks and check for freshness. Active checks are turned off on the central server. With active checks turned off, it seems that I cannot schedule a check of services from the central server web page. If I turn on active checks (to allow a forced scheduled check) then the checks are run per normal_check_interval, which I don't want. So, I have increased the normal_check_interval to a very high number to make active check only run occasionally, but this will effect the freshness checking. Nothing seems to be working the way I need it to. Is there a way to be able to manually schedule a check of services from the central server in a distributed setup? I don't want active checks performed from the central server but I would like freshness checking to be performed. Dustin Kamper Systems Engineer MX Logic, Inc.

Run bin/nagios -v etc/nagios.cfg to have nagios test your config files. Another possibility is that the file you are editing is locked and unreadable by apache. Since the CGI's read those for every request, they'll bomb out with that error if they can't read one of the files. I suspect that the former is more likely however. -- Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Jonathan Jesse > Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 11:49 AM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Frustrations w/ Nagios -- newbie > > Thanks for the links.

There is no mechanism to send an 'active check request' from a central server to the distributed servers. Nagios itself isn't even aware that they exist let alone how to communicate with them. It just knows that it got a passive check, not where it came from. You either need to use the GUI on the distributed servers to force the check, use the GUI on the central server and have the check execute from there or create your own mechanism to send/execute the request on your distributed machines. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

It seems like a pretty slick system. Anyway, i'm trying to check if the oracle database is up on one of my boxes, but i really know nothing about oracle at all (i'm just monitoring the box, i have nothing to do w/ anything other than that). Anyway, i was happy to see the check_oracle plugin, but i'm having a little bit of difficulty. The error i get when i try './check_oracle --tns aspdb' i get the error: Cannot determine ORACLE_HOME for sid aspapp2 i did a search on the mailing list archives, but the only thing i could come up w/ some problems that people had w/ the plugin and nrpe (i don't want to use nrpe). I tried setting ORACLE_HOME here on my nagios server, but that didn't do me any good. Am i doing something wrong? Is this not the right plugin for me? I was thinking about how i could check it other than through the plugin... maybe check if the process is running through SNMP? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

That file defines the home environment based on the sid.

So I just used a 'concatonated' version of the services.cfg from all the distributed servers on the central server. So, basically, the central server can step in and check services when/if the distributed server(s) stop responding. That is what I am using the freshness checking for. The freshness checking will automatically start checking services on a distributed server failure. But I also want to be able to check services on demand via 'Re-schedule the next check of this service' link on the web page from the central server. >From what I can figure out, freshness checks base the 'freshness' of the the results on the normal_check_interval setting. Since normal_check_interval controls the timming of the active checks, you must turn active checks off so you don't have the central server checking what the distributed servers are already checking. When active service checks are turned off, the 'Re-schedule the next check of this service' link is not available from the web page. I would like 1 source of Nagios for monitoring all of my servers but would like to spread the load of all the service checks to many distributed servers. It would be a pain to have to go to one of the distributed servers just to run one re-scheduled service check on demand. Now I'm not sure that a distributed solution is going to work for my monitoring needs.

There is no mechanism to send an 'active check request' from a central server to the distributed servers. Nagios itself isn't even aware that they exist let alone how to communicate with them. It just knows that it got a passive check, not where it came from. You either need to use the GUI on the distributed servers to force the check, use the GUI on the central server and have the check execute from there or create your own mechanism to send/execute the request on your distributed machines. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

The documentation is unambiguous, no need to figure anything out -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service freshness_threshold: This directive is used to specify the freshness threshold (in seconds) for this service. If you set this directive to a value of 0, Nagios will determine a freshness threshold to use automatically. And http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/freshness.html "Assuming you're using the template-based object configuration file(s), you need to configure service definitions as follows. * The check_freshness option in the service definition should be set to 1. This enables "freshness" checking for the service. * The freshness_threshold option in the service definition should be set to a value (in seconds) which reflects how "fresh" the results for the service should be. * The check_command option in the service definition should reflect valid command that should be used to actively check the service when it is detected as being "stale". How The Freshness Threshold Works Nagios periodically checks the "freshness" of the results for all services that have freshness checking enabled. The freshness_threshold option in each service definition is used to determine how "fresh" the results for each service should be. For example, if you set the freshness_threshold option to 60 for one of your services, Nagios will consider that service to be "stale" if its results are older than 60 seconds (1 minute). If you do not specify a value for the freshness_threshold option (or you set it to zero), Nagios will automatically calculate a "freshness" threshold to use by looking at either the normal_check_interval or retry_check_interval options (depending on what type of state the service is currently in)." > > I would like 1 source of Nagios for monitoring all of my servers but > would like to spread the load of all the service checks to many > distributed servers.

Any pointers would be appreciated. Active_checks_enabled 1 Passive_checks_enabled 1 check_period none check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 300 ; bad if 5 minutes old check_command some_valid_check_command Since you can execute all of your checks from the central server with no problems, this should be a workable solution for you (it's been for us for 4 years with 4 collectors and 2900+ passive service checks but to each his own). If you _really, really_ wanted to execute the checks from the remote host, write a script to ssh to the appropriate nagios machine and drop a SCHEDULE_SVC_CHECK external command into the pipe. check_by_ssh might be a good wrapper/start. Make that script the check_command for the services on your central machine. That way, freshness checks will be executed from the remote machine as well as forced checks. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Actve_checks_enabled 0 -or- check_period none I prefer the "check_period=none", as this means that the active checks are still enabled, but never get scheduled. Downside is they sit in your queue taking up space (unfortunately, at the top of the queue too). In some instances, the central server will never be able to perform the active check, so completely disabling the active check for those services would be the way to go, and they won't go into the queue. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I wrote my own plugins since I really could not find any I liked. I use a few methods to check if Oracle is up. First I have a plugin that uses ssh to logon (RSA no password) and simply look for the pmon process is running. Then I have one that logs onto the Oracle instance and does a select from the v$instance view to read the name of the instance to make sure it matches. I also use check_http and have a page on my web-server that connects to the instance and pulls the instance name from it. There are many other things you can do such as listener status, and pulling performance information. They are not ready to be published but I can send you the plugins I have, maybe between the two of us we can get them up to speed and publish them. >-----Original Message----- >From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net >[mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Cam >Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 4:10 PM >To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: [Nagios-users] check_oracle plugin and $ORACLE_HOME > > >Hi, > >I'm using nagios to monitor some of my systems.

Message-ID: <7e2f9af905071507571d03965a@mail.gmail.com> Hi, I've got some more stuff i'm trying to work out. We want to measure the bandwidth that the server is using and have nagios warn us if it get's too high or too low. Right now i'm monitoring that over SNMP w/ cacti and it's working good, but that just makes me pretty graphs, and i need warnings. anyway, i'm trying to figure out the best way to do this and i wanted to get other people's input. The problem that i'm having is that if i poll the data over SNMP that i just get a meaningless COUNTER value. So i guess what i'm wondering is does nagios have anyway to keep track of these things themselves, or do i need to write a script sort of like this (psuedo-code): #this file has the SNMP data polled last time nagios ran my script OLD = read $foor NEW = snmpget localhost ifinOctets.bar #something like that echo $NEW > $foo | awk $4 -print x = $(($NEW - $OLD)) if [ $x -lt $SOME_VALUE ]; then print_warning_message elif [ $x -gt $OTHER_VALUE ]; then print_another_warning_message else print_ok_message fi is there any problems w/ this approach? is there a cleaner way to do it? what exactly are the rules for plugin output (it seems like it's just 'FOO [OK|WARNING|FAIL]: comments'--is that right?

The other, probably better way would be to use the check_mrtgtraf plugin or check_rrd_data.pl (in the contrib dir) to read the rate data directly from the file depending on which format Cacti uses. The thread below also seems to provide another mechanism -- http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:EB26O7k-Ok8J:forums.cacti.net/about 624.html%26highlight%3D+check_rrd_data.pl+rrd&hl=en > it? what exactly are the rules for plugin output (it seems like it's > just 'FOO [OK|WARNING|FAIL]: comments'--is that right? No, it's not sufficient. Check out the Developer Guidelines at http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/.

Much better. So, it's seems clear that check_remote_disk_fra.pl is trying to ssh to the remote host but you haven't yet set up passwordless ssh access. That's problem number one. Use 'man sshd' and search for 'authorized_keys' and look at the file format. The quickest (but not necessarily most secure) way is -- 1 - Run 'ssh-keygen -t dsa' on the nagios host as the nagios user. Use the defaults and do not specify a password. This generates your public/private key pair. 2 - copy ~nagios/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to ~admin/.ssh/authorized_keys on sugtwn2. 3 - chmod 600 ~admin/.ssh/authorized_keys on sugtwn2 4 - as the nagios user on sumonitor - 'ssh admin at sugtwn2.rest.of.host.name' to accept the host key if you haven't already done so. You should not be prompted for a password. 5 - test the plugin again. I would suggest that you use authorized_keys to restrict the commands that can be executed in this manner. Again, the man page details how to do this. If you still see errors on sugtwn2 verify that check_disk run locally works as it does on zugtwz2. If check_disk does run correctly, we'll probably need to know exactly what check_remote_disk_fra.pl is doing. I noticed that you also switched hosts between your tests (previously zugtwz2). You'll need to perform the above steps 2-5 for every remote host you are intending to check. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

If I set it to none (which is defined) then freshness is never checked. If set to 24x7 then it is always checked. I verified that active checks where not being performed by setting active_checks_enabled to 0 for each check_period test (4 test in all). I wish there was a freshness_check_period setting. Oh...BTW, I am using Nagios 2.0b3. I am assuming that there is not much difference in the logic of this since 1.0. I guess I should test it tho.

NSCA wasn't an option in my environmnent to I needed to come up with an alternative that used a well-known port. I chose postfix as the MTA for both the sending and receiving sides and added a GPG encryption layer to encrypt the data. Then I hooked up a global_service_event_handler called submit_check_result_smtp that looks like this: time=`perl -e 'print time';` /bin/echo "[$time] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;$1;$2;$return_code;$4" | /usr/bin/gpg -ea -r nagios --batch --no-tty --always-trust | mail -s "Nagios Status Message" nagios at nagioscentral.mydomain.com On the central box, I have a small perl script that takes mail on stdin, gpg decrypts it and writes the output to the named pipe using the Mail::GnuPG, MIME::Parser, and MIME::Entity perl modules. It has been running in production for 6 months now without any major issues. Some of the other advandantes of using an MTA include the ability to retry deferred messages (a mixed bag) and extended logging functionality. Hope that helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demetri Mouratis dmourati at linfactory.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

They are created and distributed separately and are independent. You can use any version of the plugins with any version of netsaint/nagios but newer is better of course ;). There has been a contrib dir in every release of the plugins that I've used in the last 4 years or so as far as I can remember. If you download the plugins from http://nagiosplug.sf.net and untar the archive you'll find a directory named 'contrib' with user-contributed plugins. They don't undergo the same kind of coding and testing as the standard plugins but they generally work quite well. If you've installed the plugins using a package manager you may need to hunt around to find them if they're installed as part of the plugins package or they could be a separate package entirely. It all depends on the maintainer of the package. -- Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of EXT-Fuentes, James P > Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 12:09 PM > To: Edward Ford; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] How do I get to the contrib dir that I keep > hearing about > > It's not in all available versions.

And then nagios will catch the message and process it. What you describe is very similar to how our Nagios infrastructure was configured when I arrived. All I can say is be very careful letting the developers drive too much. For example, they may send a CRITICAL state when java throws an exception but who is responsible for sending the OK state after the problem has abated? Also of concern is the exact name of the service check. You'll have to know the service names so that you can configure services.cfg. If the developer uses a different service name you'll end up with a mismatch. This can quickly get maddening. The alternate we settled on here was for the java developers to expose a call that would be responsible for maintaining the state of the various java components running our our application. Nagios in turn ssh's into the machine and invokes a plugin that can get the current state of the java components. This is a pull where the method you described above is a push. In my experience, managing the pull configuration is much easier. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demetri Mouratis dmourati at linfactory.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Message-ID: <59B15593F41BD24591D59436E7226EAD022C0783@Khiphx2.khimetrics.com> I wrote this myself, and considering I've been learning perl over the last few months writing scripts to make nagios a much easier tool to use, I feel a little worried about submitting anything considering how new I am at it. :-) I have written scripts to add hosts, remove hosts, schedule downtime, a few plugins, a script to turn off blocks of checks quickly, make new services that I commonly add quickly. The nfs mounts script, I ended up using check_by_ssh to call it, I wanted to verify that all nfs mounts in fstab were mounted, considering if I put something in fstab, I want it to be up at all times. That's how I determine if something is important enough to check. So it checks for what's an nfs mount in fstab, then verify's that there is at least 1 file inside of the mount. I did this because I wanted to pick up stale instances, and other messages easily. I had tried a few other methods, but they didn't end up giving me what I wanted. I'll attach the script, but this was the first perl script I wrote, and I haven't updated it since then with anything additionally I may know. It's always worked for me, but if anyone has any suggestions or pointers, please send them my way. ________________________________ From: Ben Polson [mailto:ben.polson at ehealth.com] Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 1:53 PM To: Nathan Oyler; Ginther, Demian M; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Downtime for ALL hosts and services on system? Excellent points. I generally don't do maintenance on every single monitored server so I've set up simple group disabling scripts for blocks of servers based on our various environments. You mentioned your nfs mount scripts and I am wondering what kind of tests you run to verify these mounts. I'm in the process of writing my own nfs mount check currently, but would prefer to not have to go through this if there's already one available out there. Did you write this yourself, or have I missed something in my Googleing? Thanks! -Ben. -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Oyler [mailto:noyler at khimetrics.com] Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 1:46 PM To: Ben Polson; Ginther, Demian M; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Downtime for ALL hosts and services on system? Because it's sloppy, and if you schedule downtime you can actually watch what's happening through nagios as things go up and down, and verify everything is up during the window. I have nfs mount scripts that it's always nice to verify are actually up before having messages start flying off again. Especially when people outside of IT get messages. I wrote a perl script to schedule downtime. I used a bash script on nagiosexchange.org to base the idea on, and it's been extremely helpful for every downtime since. ________________________________ From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Ben Polson Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 1:36 PM To: Ginther, Demian M; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Downtime for ALL hosts and services on system?

Enhancement -- Overloaded performance counters to use the ^ delimiter. now can use "^Category^Instance^Counter" for the -l "" or"^Category^Counter" This should help with some of the issues with custom performance counters. Remember check_nt uses the & as a delimiter during communications so if the counter has & in it use a passive check or a different plug in to overcome this issue. The new version is available form Nagiosexchange at: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Windows.49.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=199 or the official web site: http://www.shatterit.com/nc_net/ Thanks Tony ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

That way you nagios machine sends request to nrpe daemon running on remote host which in turn call a local plugin for a specific task say check_users, check_uptime etc. For check_uptime you must read the script where the auther of the plugin explain how you could use it, check_uptime use nmap -0 which must be run as root, in my case i'm running nrpe as nobody user on remote host. So i have to put an entry in /etc/sudoers nobody =NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/nmap otherwise you will get an no uptime from host.

So i guess what i'm wondering is does nagios have anyway to keep track of these things themselves, or do i need to write a script sort of like this (psuedo-code): #this file has the SNMP data polled last time nagios ran my script OLD = read $foor NEW = snmpget localhost ifinOctets.bar #something like that echo $NEW > $foo | awk $4 -print x = $(($NEW - $OLD)) if [ $x -lt $SOME_VALUE ]; then print_warning_message elif [ $x -gt $OTHER_VALUE ]; then print_another_warning_message else print_ok_message fi is there any problems w/ this approach? is there a cleaner way to do it? what exactly are the rules for plugin output (it seems like it's just 'FOO [OK|WARNING|FAIL]: comments'--is that right?

I would like to have an event handler attempt a service restart __and__ then have Nagios process a restart failure by notifying the contact group and doing all the other Nag things (log, pace notifications, re-invoke event handlers ..) as long as the service fails to restart. How would I do this ? One option is to have the event handler 1 attempt a restart 2 retry the service and find that it is still unavailable 3 submit a notification event to the Nagios Command Queue. This is _not_ a very good solution because the event handler would have to hardcode the contact information since it has no access to the Nag macros. What are other people doing about this ? Yours sincerely. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

How about: set your max_check_attempts to 10. On the 5th soft failure, restart the service. If the service doesn't come back up properly, Nagios will check it another 5 times and then report an error in the normal way.

The initscripts work fine after I added a 'sleep 10' to them in between the stop and start clauses. I even converted them to RedHat style (Starting nagios... [OK]).

But I don't understand why a lingering service check is able to make the web interface behave this way. Once the main (old) nagios process is dead, the service checks should complete and then the old nagios should clean up after itself, while the new one takes over running service checks and maintaining state. It seems that it doesn't work in this nice clean way, but why? And shouldn't it be fixed? In the mean time, adding "killall nagios" to the initscript seems like a sensible precaution, if perhaps a little violent.

The warnings are due to many predefined hosts that I haven't had the time to elaborate on required service checks yet. So I started nagios in daemon mode (i.e. -d), and having had the first 6 nodes monitored (i.e. mere check_icmp so far) for the lunch break. Of course I couldn't expect everything to work from the beginning. So I noticed a couple of errors when I turned my eye on nagios log and nagios user's mail queue. First there's a minute macro expansion problem. Among others I defined this MX domain $ grep ^\$USER5 /opt/sw/nagios/etc/resource.cfg $USER5$=our.site.tld $ grep resource.cfg /opt/sw/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg resource_file=/opt/sw/nagios/etc/resource.cfg $ cat -n /opt/sw/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg | sed -n 15,23p 15 16 define contact { 17 use generic-contact 18 contact_name grothe 19 alias Ralph Grothe SAZ 20 # see resource.cfg for $USER5$ 21 email ralph.grothe@$USER5$ 22 } 23 This is what happened. The MTA bounced the notification on an check_icmp alert because there was some queer substitution, recipient rewriting going on. $ grep -E Final-Recipient\|Diagnostic-Code /var/spool/mail/nagios Final-Recipient: rfc822; ralph.grothe at USER5.other.site.tld Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; Name service error for name=user5.other.site.tld Why didn't the macro get substituted? Did the MTA rewrite the other.site.tld as suffix, or where could have come from? (n.b. {our,other}.site.tld are merely dummies for real addresses for I feared being spammed) Another question, if I extend or adapt my Nagios config do I have to bring the the daemon down, or would a $ kill -HUP $(cat /var/opt/nagios/nagios.pid) suffice?

You'll need to have something execute the plugin and send the results to nsca via send_nsca like cron+wrapper script. Most often there is another instance of nagios running on the remote machine when using nsca. You probably want to look at NRPE or check-by-ssh which sound like they might better suit your needs. If you want to continue with NSCA, the Distributed Monitoring section of the documentation is an excellent resource. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

A double precision number, sometimes simply a double, may be defined to be an integer, fixed point, or floating point. ___END If it is an integer then why would anyone want to check double precision lenths of time as opposed to floating point to check say fractions of a second response times? So is this a bug or do we like to check for response times of a million seconds?

These plugins use portions of the generic help routines from utils.h which is also used by many of the other plugins. The -w and -c help information comes from there. Some plugins require integers for those values, some may accept floats. In each case, the plugin should be more specific about what it requires as above. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Message-ID: Hi, I am trying to get a simple config running of Nagois. I have apache installed and working and a nagios configuration that seems fine when I run the verify. But when I try to access the URL and run any of the CGI's I get the following error on the browser: 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). Number 1 checks out with 0 errors. Number 2: the nagios log file is completely empty. How do I check Number 3? When I run the CGI's from the command line, they give the same error. -- -dand ============================================================= Dan Deremiah Unix System Administrator Wind River Systems, Alameda CA 510/749-2033 Desk AIM: danderemiah ============================================================= ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Oddly enough, it's not documented in either 1.x or 2.x... Looking at the code for 1.x seems to indicate to me that only one is allowed but it should be easily testable if you have event handlers configured already. If it works then great =) -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

This is because you are refreshing the page, not the single frame, and is the 'correct' behaviour (although, I agree, not what you want to happen in this case). Actually, I get this behaviour with MSIE as well, but you probably avoid it because you have something cached or else IE is defaulting to refresh the active frame? Anyway, in Firefox, you can right-clik and select 'This frame/Reload' which will just refresh the individual frame (and you can do the same in IE as well). Another possibility is to change the nagios/index.html page so that the initial page goes to your preferred main window.

Is there a quick way of determining whether the "Status Information" generated by an active check is coming from NRPE or the executed command? For example, we have a critical service that says "Connection refused by host". This could be coming from either NRPE or the command, as it is doing a sort of port scan from the remote system. So, when I see this messages, it is not immediately clear where it is coming from. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Since eventhandlers are called with args of $SERVICESTATE$, $SERVICESTATETYPE$, $SERVICEATTEMPT$ the event handler prologue should be something like #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict ; exit 0 unless $ARGV[0] eq 'CRITICAL' ; exit 0 if $ARGV[1] eq 'HARD' ; # will only see a HARD state if restart fails exit 0 if $ARGV[2] != 5 ; # Go ahead and try and restart the service .. # Take as long as we like since we won't get called again if the # restart fails. # Chronology is # retry state notes # 1 SOFT retry service check to confirm fault # restart_threshold SOFT fault confirmed; try event handler/restart # .. threshold + 1 SOFT retry service to check restart # max_checks HARD restart failure confirmed; notify etc > Cheers, Chris. Thank you very much for this elegant solution so closely aligned to the what seems to me the conception of the event handler signature.

If the whole of nagios remote plugin execution is so obfuscated and intricate as it appears to me (I've been wasting the last two days trying in vain to just get such a simple check to work!) then Nagios to me is just a toy for developers but not usable by the average sysadmin like me. Ok it's fine to have the sources if you are a seasoned C hacker, but I just want a basic functionality working quickly. You're left alone because the documentation is sparse and incoherent. In that respect Mon proved a much better tool to meet the basic demands of mine (I had that up and running with custom plug-ins in abt. a day) Sorry, but my frustration with Nagios grows... ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Sometimes it takes some time, but it's worth the effort !! I also use NRPE on HP-UX (10.20 and 11.11), but I never got it working under inetd. So I suggest you try to run nrpe as a daemon, I admit running under inetd is a more beautiful solution... It works for me.

Have you tried without specifying the -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl ?? The compile process automatically searches for /include so -I/usr/local will automatically use /usr/local/include etc. Cheers rob. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I was using it on my mail system for a while without problems, and then I moved it to the new system that we set up, and it started to show lost emails. I searched the mailing lists, to no avail. The reason was that it was sending emails, and THEN checking for the previous email sent. The issue comes up where it removes all of the emails while it's checking for the email that was sent by the previous run. This assumes that it takes longer for the email that was just sent to get to its destination than it does for the script to then check for previously sent emails. The fix is to send the email after the emails from the previous runs are checked, and before you flush out the state file. I moved lines 104-116 to line 149 (in the version that was obtained by nagios-plugins-1.4-beta1), and the problem went away. In the previous email system, we had two mail servers in front of the final destination mail server, so it took a few seconds (at best) for the email to propogate to its mailbox. In the new system, there are two mail servers (of the same priority) that are the final destination... they didn't have to forward anything, and due to the faster hardware, the email got into the mailboxes immedately... so by sending the next email before checking for the previous emails, you end up deleting the email for the next run during the current run. -Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I would try "-I/usr/local/ssl/include" instead, as check_http seems to assume that the OpenSSL header files will be in a subdirectory called "openssl" of the include path.

Luckilly it was on an SDS volume set up as softpartition so that I could growfs it. I reran make distclean and reconfigured, this time disabling the openssl stuff altogether. So there should be no need for the blooming compiler to search for such header files. # CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc ./configure --with-nagios-user=informix --with-nagios-group=informix --disable-openssl --with-ping-command=/usr/sbin/ping This time my "make all" got a bit further, up to check_icmp (ok, if I get check_ping this time working, opposed to my broken check_ping build on HPUX, I can ignore that, besides this is not a Nagios server, so there should be little need for this node to ping anything).

However, with my current knowledge based solely in PHP and C, I cannot at this time implement it in a timely fashion.

While that document is written around using distributed instances of nagios, the bulk of it still applies to the way you're trying to submit checks. I still think you're making this more difficult than it needs to be. If you can connect to the remote host you're monitoring from your nagios host directly then you should be looking at NRPE or check-by-ssh, not NSCA. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Sorry, but I dispute that claim. All three methods have advantages and disadvantages which may be important in specific circumstances. I'll discuss their general advantages and disadvantages even though you were responding to the specific case where the monitored machines were directly reachable (all of them have advantages and disadvantages even in that situation). NRPE's configuration files do not remotely resemble their counterparts on nagios. If you're using NRPE to have a firewall check machines behind the firewall then NRPE becomes a complete pain in the nether regions. NRPE's security depends entirely on checking the IP address of the monitoring server, and NRPE security is totally incompatible with a monitoring server which is on dynamic or semi-static IP (I won't mention any pointy-haired bosses I work for by name, or detail their clueless ukases, but our monitoring server is on semi-static IP which means NRPE would have no security). NRPE scales badly (even if it's no worse than linear, eventually you outstrip the capability of your monitoring host). Check_by_ssh works but, unless you are very clever, the checks of remote machines using check_by_ssh cannot be automatically converted from direct equivalents. And as Andreas has pointed out, there are security issues if somebody compromises your nagios server (but as I pointed out, it's more likely that the monitored machines are vulnerable than the monitoring machine). Perhaps a bigger problem is the protocol overhead of ssh and the load it imposes at both ends. Check_by_ssh scales worse than NRPE because it has more overhead. NSCA works, but you're stuck with passive monitoring. Get things wrong and you'll get lots of false alerts because of stale check results. However, the services file on the remote monitor can be processed very easily by a script to produce the relevant chunk of the services file on the master nagios server. NSCA scales a lot better than NRPE or check_by_ssh. NSCA has its own encryption mechanisms so it's as secure (if you choose the right encryption method) as check_by_ssh and far more secure than NRPE. NSCA can cope with a monitoring host that has dynamic or semi-static IP provided you have some sort of dynamic DNS way of referring to the monitoring host. NSCA is far less of a hassle to deal with machines behind firewalls than NRPE or check_by_ssh. If you have more than one monitored domain which you wish to have separate passwords then you have to run multiple instances of NRPE on different ports. There are advantages and disadvantages to all three mechanisms (and I doubt I've listed all of the advantages and disadvantages for any of them). Which one is best for you is a matter of what weight you give to those advantages and disadvantages in your particular circumstances. To say that one should use check_by_ssh or NRPE simply because one can connect to the monitored hosts directly, is (IMHO) incorrect. If you're checking thousands of hosts then you probably need the scalability of NSCA. If you're checking hosts behind firewalls without direct connections then the complications of using NRPE may be too much work if there are lots of hosts to monitor. If any of the security concerns Andreas raised affect you then check_by_ssh is not an option. NSCA is my preferred option because in my circumstances it's the least worst of the three for several reasons. Horses for courses. In most of the situations I can conceive of, NSCA is the best (least worst) choice. But I know that the situations I can conceive of are limited by my imagination, by what I have needed to do myself, and by what I have read of the needs of others. I would not (unless drunk or otherwise incapacitated - which happens frequently) specify any of the three options as being THE correct way to do things in a given situation. If sober enough I would explain that there are tradeoffs and whilst it might appear to me from the limited description of the situation posted here that one of those seems better than the others that the decision has to be made by the person involved with full knowledge of the situation and the tradeoffs. Hosts being directly reachable is just one of that factors that needs to be considered. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Thus only now my feedback. Many thanks for your kind support. Because I was tired of my fruitless efforts yesterday I think I got a bit sloppy, as can be seen from creating a Nagios plugin directory with mode bits 0644 (where I meant 0755). Another such flaw was giving configure --disable-openssl where it should have been --without-openssl. So I guess it was simply ignored. But wouldn't you agree that it is rather inconsistent that configure from the nrpe tarball on the other hand looks for the --{enable|disable}-ssl switch. Very confusing. Anyway, I don't really require TLS/SSL for the Solaris managed nodes. This morning I quickly configured inetd on the Solaris box to run nrpe, and I was amazed that check* requests from my AIX Nagios server were replied instantly. $ uname -a AIX daisy 3 4 0045CB7A4C00 $ libexec/check_nrpe -H zecke -c check_total_procs PROCS OK: 119 processes Of course I only tested the preconfigured check* commands in nrpe.cfg right now, and it still requires some fine tuning. But I'm confident that at least our Solaris nodes can be monitored by Nagios. So I still have to fix the unwieldy HPUX nrpe daemon. On the Solaris boxes we run Informix instances on Veritas Cluster Server (VCS). Although I know that it is very easy to check the status of Informix DBs, and the VCS's out-of-the box Informix monitors are ashamingly simple, I wonder if someone already has come up with a check_informix or check_vcs/check_vxvm to save me the time coming up with an own custom Perl script? As you may have noticed I set up nrpe daemon to run as informix rather than a less powerful nagios user. I would rather prefer the latter for security concerns. I only chose informix to be able to check the status of Informix instances (viz. system() or exec*() of onstat, or through Perl DBI::Informix). How could that be better addressed? Is there some suexec mechanism or would one set up sudo (or RBAC in the case of Solaris)? Suggestions welcome. Frank, thanks for the hints how to overcome the compiling catch with check_icmp. I will try your suggestion, and report. Apropos, I so far haven't really understood what is expected as PING_COMMAND string to render a working check_ping binary? You have to admit that the documentation either in the Nagios docs, or in configure's help screen is more than sparse. I think the developers should have provided a terse example to make things clear to dummies like me. For instance on my Nagios Manager on AIX I defined this (because I had fping already installed, from my Mon setup, and I thought fping would perform better). [nagios at daisy:~] $ grep ^\#define\ PING_COMMAND /opt/sw/nagios-plugins-1.4/config.h #define PING_COMMAND "/usr/local/sbin/fping -q -C 3 -t 2000" [nagios at daisy:~] $ ls -l /usr/local/sbin/fping -rwsr-xr-x 1 root staff 140575 Apr 26 2004 /usr/local/sbin/fping But this config rendered a broken check_ping binary. On the other hand on the Solaris mananged node I simply chose the path to Solaris' vanilla ping (which, as you may know, without any options simply reports " is alive" to the astonishment of non-Solaris unix admins). # grep PING_COMMAND /usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4/config.h #define PING_COMMAND "/usr/sbin/ping" But this doesn't work either [root at zecke:/usr/local/nagios/etc] # ../libexec/check_ping -H themis -w 1000,50% -c 2000,80% /usr/sbin/ping CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command However, as said I don't really require the check_ping to be executable from the managed nodes but would be pleased to learn how its config was meant to be.

Sorry I didn't know, and it wasn't obvious to me that it is "merely" a contribution isolated from Nagios itself. > I think I've seen something about a check_informix. Google > around a bit > and see what pops up. Nope, wasn't too successful with my search for check_informix. But as said, checking Informix state should be easy. But I was surprised to have discovered this # find /usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4 -type f -name \*vcs\* -ls 114553 5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 5016 May 23 2002 /usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4/contrib/check_vcs.pl > > chown informix:nrpeuser onstat > chmod 4750 onstat Hm, suid I think this would clash with Perl's taint checking? > > This won't work with DBI::Informix, although it should work nicely if > you backtick onstat from perl. Sorry typo, I meant DBD::Informix. I keep avoiding Perl's backticks or qx(), or globbing though these make scripting much easier. I rather prefer fork() (or open "-|") and exec(), and taint mode in server side scriping. > > PING_COMMAND is supposed to render itself. If you use check_icmp you > won't need check_ping though, so this shouldn't be an issue. Yes, you are right. This time I omitted --with-ping-command completely, and that's what configure found on its own (tail from configure): config.status: creating po/Makefile --with-cgiurl: /nagios/cgi-bin --with-nagios-user: informix --with-nagios-group: informix --with-trusted-path: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin --with-ping-command: /usr/sbin/ping -n -s %s 56 %d --with-ping6-command: --with-lwres: no --with-ipv6: yes --with-openssl: no --enable-emulate-getaddrinfo: no I didn't know what syntax configure expects but from the above I can gather that %s is substituted by an arg for ICMP packet size, and %d obvoiusly for packet count. > > This is completely and utterly wrong.

I'd also prefer check_icmp if I got it compiled... Someone suggested a CVS check out of the latest Nagios-plugins where this was said to be fixed. Unfortunately our WWW Proxy hinders me from using a cvs client. > It's meant to be autodetected.

After we?ve installed an second nagios-server with nearly the same config, nagios Sever2 starts to check also the nrpe on these windows machines. The nrpe config don?t allow other machines to connect to nrpe port, just nagios1 is allowed to check it. So the event log generates an failure that nagios2 isn?t allowed to connect to nrpe on the windows machine. After 20 minutes of retry from nagios2 the nic lost the connection to the network. I dont know why this is caused maybe its an buffer overflow? This happens two times on three servers which lost the connection nearly in the same second.

Under the Reporting Menu, select Availability and follow the wizard. If you select All Hosts or All Services you have the option to output to CSV. Once you generate your desired report you can grab the link for it from the frame properties and process it however you like. > > Is there a nagios wiki?

This hides all of the nasty long VPN connection information. Line #4 - connects to the VPN Line #5 - sends a 'y' so the VPN is connected Line #8 - gets the exit return code Line #10 - exits with the exit return code from $status. When I call './lhm.sh 10.30.31.51' this is the output: [root at monitor plugins]# ./lhm.sh 10.30.31.51 PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 60.68 ms [root at monitor plugins]# When I call './lhm.sh 10.30.31.51' with the puts un-commented this is the output: [root at monitor plugins]# ./lhm.sh 10.30.31.51 PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 71.03 ms 0 [root at monitor plugins]# When I call './lhm.sh 10.30.31.61' (A WRONG IP) with the puts un-commented this is the output: [root at monitor plugins]# ./lhm.sh 10.30.31.61 CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 18 seconds 2 [root at monitor plugins]# The problem is, when I create a custom check command in /etc/Nagios/checkcommands.cfg to call /usr/lib/Nagios/plugins/lhm.sh Nagios always reports it as up and (No output!).

Use a resolvable host name for the host address. define host{ use generic-host host_name some-name alias My Test Server address test.foo.com } As long as test.foo.com is resolvable by command line utilities it should just work. This of course makes you dependent on that name resolution service for your monitoring to work properly. If it fails, your monitoring fails. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Some pointers: 1. Use send_nsca to send the data from distributed to central. 2. Use rsync/scp to push the configuration files from distributed to central. (I run a little perl cleanup script to make the changes required after syncing.) 3. Setup freshness_threshold to catch stale data. 4. You can run web interfaces at both distributed and central. Central will see all the services for all the distributeds while the individual distributeds will only show their own data. You can also add per-instance accounts on central to let folks log in and see only their hosts. 5. Watch out for namespace collisions. 6. Use templates. Hope that helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demetri Mouratis dmourati at linfactory.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I wrote a script which collects data from a host via rsh commands and depending on the contents of that data I'd send the appropriate exit status to Nagios as outlined in the plugin development doc. I'd run the script from the command line and it would behave exactly as I expected it to. However, when I defined a checkcommand and a service in Nagios I would always get an "OK" status and "No output" in the comment field in Nagios no matter what I set my thresholds to (Drove me nuts). It turns out, because my checkcommand simply ran and completed, it always returned an exit status of 0 and the results of my rsh command, by default, would go to /dev/null when spawned from my checkcommand. There is a "-n" option for rsh which redirects input from device /dev/null, thus getting it to Nagios reflecting the actual status of the remote host. Once I implemented this, things work perfectly. I realize your method differs from mine but it seems you're doing something functionally similar and your results sound identical to my initial results. I would check man pages to see if there is an equivalent option for you. -Jim ________________________________ From: Danny Russell [mailto:drussell at mpifix.com] Sent: Wed 7/20/2005 10:44 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Custom Plugin I am trying to monitor a host that is behind a Cisco VPN Concentrator.

I have both retain_state_information=1 and use_retained_program_state=1 and my scheduling queue shows that nagios started over with hosts 1XX - 9XX every time. Is there a way to maintiain the scheduling queue throughout program restarts? If not does any body have a work around?

As far as I know, host dependencies are the advanced version of parent/child relations. So for normal use you should be fine with parent-directives but if you need more special treatment for special host dependencies you can use these to achieve more detailed notifications.

Message-ID: The problem is that sometimes the next active service check is not updated and does not perform a check for long periods of time. Example Scenario : Nagios current time => 16:14 Service XYZ - nagios next active service check => 16:15 2 minute later....... Nagios current time => 16:16 Service XYZ - nagios next active service check => 16:15 1 hour later...... Nagios current time => 17:16 Service XYZ - nagios next active service check => 16:15 If you manually reschedule the service it breaks it out of the problem. The number of services this has applied to varies on a daily basis but I can not correlate it to anything on the server. Is this a know bug? If so, what would the fix be? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nagios does not know if you have added or deleted services and hosts or just changed definitions. you may want to create policies that Nagios will only be reloaded once/twice a day. -- -sg ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

It seems to me that it would be a good idea for Nagios to schedule service checks in order of oldest "last check" first, newest last. This would mean that if host 9999 hadn't been checked on the last nagios run, it would be checked quickly after a nagios restart. Even better, when adding new host definitions, they would be checked immediately, minimising the amount of time they spend in "pending" state. Very useful when testing new host definitions :-) Cheers, Chris. -- (aidworld) chris wilson | chief engineer (chris at aidworld.org) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

So you define the hosts nagios has to check there. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host . However. The config is splitted for structuring purposes only. So the cfg_file entries in nagios.cfg are only included, which means, that host entries can defined in every of these files. What does "osts.conf of linux mean"? the /etc/hosts? /etc/hosts has nothing to do with nagios. hope i could help a bit. matthias ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

I wish that at least the last host/service checked would be stored somewhere (i.e. state retention) and the checks would take up there when nagios was reloaded but an immediate check of new hosts and services would also be nice. For now I will just set a db field's bit to 1 when a change is made that would require a reload and just check it through cron every X amount of time resetting it to 0 when read. The only other way around this, that I can think of, would be for me to keep up with the last host/service checked and then after a reload perform a force schedule of the next XXX hosts. How bad would this be on nagios? Would the force check of say 850 hosts (all services w/ average of 4 services per host) be?

No, it is not supported. Here is an ugly patch to authorize it : In nsca.c, add the following line at the beginning of the is_an_allowed_host() function : if ((allowed_hosts[0]=='*')&&(allowed_hosts[0]=='\0')) return 1; Then, you can use '*' to authorize access from everywhere.

Check the permsions and ownership of the executable itself and also on its config file. If either the executable or the config file are inaccessible to the nagios user then you'll see that error.

NSCA requires nsca.cfg not to be world-readable (because it contains a password). I don't remember NRPE being that fussy but maybe it is (no password in the config, so no need to be that fussy). Check accessibility of parent directories of those two files. Also double-check the server_args you're calling nrpe with - both for syntax and for having the correct path to nrpe.cfg. Also check the server you specified for xinetd - double-check that the path is correct. If that doesn't solve the problem, stop xinetd then fire it up manually with the -d option to get lots of debugging output. If that fails, you're into strace territory. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

It's seeing your command, a carriage return signifying the end of the command, then a new command which starts with -c which is unrecognised and it displays a warning. Yes you need to restart Nagios whenever you make a change to the config files. Either SIGHUP, or through the web console.

Since this is my means of transport to any node I would consider it a vital service which requires to be checked. To this end I would use either "check_tcp -p 22 ...", or maybe better yet since I guess a more thorough check is involved, check_ssh from the Nagios plug-ins. Because I want to safe me from repetitive editing I thought one could define a service group in servicegroups.cfg that comprises every host of our site that runs an SSH daemon in the member list. Then I'd like to define a generic check-ssh service that kind of being only template defined. But I stumbled over that each service requires a check_command statement, which again would force me into a hundred times buffer copying and editing. Can what I wish to accomplish be set up in abt. less than ten lines?

And as I learned somewhere else in the docs that such object definitions that lack required attributes should be regarded as templates (similar to abstract classes in OO) and have to be marked by "register 0". But you are suggesting the opposite (viz. "register 1")? Sorry, but to me the Nagios docs is pretty messy and should urgently undergo a revision by the developers. Then all the obfuscation possibly would magically fade and made it much easier for someone to follow it. But maybe this isn't wanted, and the Nagios folks simply modified a notorious cryptographers' slogan about security to "Proficiency by Obscurity"? > -----Original Message----- > From: srunschke at abit.de [mailto:srunschke at abit.de] > Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 12:42 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Cc: Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de > Subject: Antwort: [Nagios-users] Service Definition Efficiency > > > > Because I want to safe me from repetitive editing I thought one > > could define a service group in servicegroups.cfg > > that comprises every host of our site that runs an SSH daemon in > > the member list. > > > > Then I'd like to define a generic check-ssh service that kind of > > being only template defined. > > But I stumbled over that each service requires a check_command > > statement, > > which again would force me into a hundred times buffer copying > > and editing. > > > > Can what I wish to accomplish be set up in abt. less than ten > > lines? > > 1.

But this could have been stated somewhere (best in the Service Definition Section) in the docs. I was going to ask you if you were suggestion some Regexp syntax (e.g. the slash markup), but in your 2nd reply you blamed it on some HTMLifier ;-) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

After fighting through permission problems to get the Web Interface running I finally have the browser running, and I am trying to view the one host I have defined. When I click on the host detail button, I get the following: 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. Can anyone tell me what this means? I cannot seem to run the CGI from the command line to find the actual errors. I would also like to know if there exists the capability to log these actions to a debugging log file. Best Regards, -- Albert E.

In order to record performance data, we have a construct that looks like this: - Nagios starts an NRPE job on another machine which starts a perl script on a Windows 2003 machine - the perl script uses the snmpget command from net-snmp 5.2.1 to read a single value from a remote machine. - The value is set in the perl script simply by $value=`$command`. (I am not using the SNMP perl modules) - The OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1.101.1 is defined like this in snmpd.conf: exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1 /usr/bin/perl /opt/elaxy/bin/get_cpu_usage.pl - This value is then written to a MS SQL Database using osql. What is happening is that I see dozens of snmpget.exe programms running (occassionally a couple of perl.exe processes). Unfortunately, I see no way of figuring out to where these processes are connected, so I cannot tell if there are specific machine causing the problems. Using netstat, I do see a number of connections to the MS SQL database in TIMEWAIT. However, since we are checking a couple of dozens machines, this is not surprising. The Nagios is reporting both "CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds." and "connection refused". Obviously this could be a purely net-snmp problem, however, as far as I can see it seems to be behaving correctly. Since I can run the commands by hand with no problem, I am at a loss to explain where net-snmp (snmpget) is having a problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreaciated.

I've only recently gotten this 2.0b3 install going. I originally added 5 machines of varying types and used them as baseline templates for all my other hosts. I've since added numerous hosts and services. I noticed something was wrong right away when I only saw the original 5 hosts after adding a couple dozen more. I figured I typoed something or forgot to add my new hosts to the various config files. After confirming I didn't screw that up I went back to the GUI. That time when I clicked on Host Detail I saw all my hosts. It was that way for the next couple of clicks. Then it went back to the original 5. Now, a week after getting all my hosts added I can only see all of them perhaps 9 out of 10 times. All the other times Nagios is absolutely convinced that there are only 5 hosts, instead of 33. The Host and Service Status Totals confirm this, as does the Tactical Overview. Looking through var I see that var/status.sav only contains info on the original 5 hosts and their servies when Nagios is acting squirrelly; it does however contain info on all hosts/services when it's working right (very hard to catch the file in that state, let me tell you). However objects.cache always has the right info in it. Does anyone have any ideas what's causing this? I hesitate to blame it on a typo in a config since it does work part of the time.

The path to check_users is incorrect. @libexecdir@ isn't valid. Did you copy the file unmodified by make?

You should be running it as the nagios user and 2) using the command exactly as it's defined in nrpe.cfg.

In the older 1.x versions (might be fixed in the latest 1.x version but I can't remember and can't be bothered to check) nagios is very likely to have multiple instances if you restart it or if you stop/start it too quickly (here, "too quickly" means "before existing insatances have died"). If you're running an affected version then either use ps to see if there are still outstanding nagios processes or terminate them with extreme prejudice or stop using nagios. None of those are ideal options but those are your choices. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

There are a couple of things to check, but make sure you follow the steps in the manual for creating a file named '.htacess' and how that file should be in your /usr/local/nagios/sbin and /usr/local/nagios/share folders. Then you should have another file name htpasswd.users in your /usr/local/nagios/etc folder. Its all explained in the manual here. Read this page! http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html It should explain it all... also look at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configcgi.html for the rest of the options for the cgi scripts. ________________________________ From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net on behalf of Albert Whale Sent: Mon 7/25/2005 7:57 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Host Detail Error I have installed the Mandriva version of the Nagios 2.0.3 beta.

When I click on the host detail button, I get the following: 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. Can anyone tell me what this means? I cannot seem to run the CGI from the command line to find the actual errors.

Nagios and RT Message-ID: <59B15593F41BD24591D59436E7226EAD02347C4B@Khiphx2.khimetrics.com> I am looking to interface Nagios alerts into Request Tracker, a ticketing system with an email interface. I am thinking that every time there's an acknowledgement, if that could send an email to RT and only in that instance, it would be excellent to open up a ticket regarding it. Can anyone think of a way to do this short of editing the c code? Aside from that, a more complex setup involving tickets at critical, and closing on ok might work. Any ideas?

Nagios has a lockfile which is supposed to prevent this, but apparently it doesn't work. Looking in base/util.c of Nagios 1.2, I see that it tries to use fcntl locking to enforce exclusive access to the lockfile. It doesn't seem to be working, at least on some platforms. Nagios doesn't check whether the PID in the lockfile, if it already exists, points to a different process. I think it should do so, as an additional check. Please could developers look at the attached patch (not tested) to see if it looks reasonable? Cheers, Chris. On Mon, 2005-07-25 at 20:18, Justin Shore wrote: > Excellent call!

What am I doing wrong? See below: Please be aware that Nagios does start sub-processes to run service checks, as part of its normal operation. You only get problems when two master processes are running. Perhaps we should also setproctitle(...) to identify the master process, so that people can tell if they have more than one running?

This bug has existed for years. NOBODY seems to be interested in squashing it. That's wrong. It's very high time that we exterminate this critter. No other well-written daemon has this problem. I've posted a patch which makes a first step to fixing this, by properly detecting the error. The next step is to find out why the initscript starts a new nagios process before the old one has died, and fix that. I'm happy to do what I can, but I need testers to help me as well. Anyone interested?

Just write a notification command that sends an email to Request Tracker. This should open a new ticket automatically. Why did you think that you would have to modify the C code? Perhaps we haven't made the flexibility of notification mechanisms clear enough in the documentation? How could it be improved? Please let us know.

Message-ID: <8FB96300C132D511AE7500508BD6ABCD05AB3E40@eagle.passkey.com> Hi All, I'm pulling info from an APC ups and my return string (via snmpget) looks like: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0 = 0:0:34:00.00 >>> 34 minutes When I run check_snmp against this oid I get: SNMP OK - *198000* Does anybody know what check_snmp is doing to convert 0:0:34:00.00 to 198000? I saw this in the --help but I'm not sure how to apply it: "- All evaluation methods other than PR, STR, and SUBSTR expect that the value returned from the SNMP query is an unsigned integer." Is it more appropriate to write a wrapper that knows how to convert 0:0:34:00.00 to my preferred time unit? Thanks, Ben Ben Conrad Sr. Network Administrator Passkey International, Inc.

The OID is defined as TIMETICKS (base INTEGER) which hundredths of a second. snmpget converts the TIMIETICKS to a human readable time format, check_snmp does not.

This is much trickier. Basically you need to write a mail handler that gets the responses from RT, captures the ticket number, and associates it in some way with a permanent record of the problem (maybe hostname + service name). It's been discussed in the past, you could check the archives. But it sounds like more than you need. > This is how I'm leaning if I find nothing else out, but I'm thinking > just on an acknowledge if a ticket was open, that would make sense.

A number of plugins use snmp to get data (interfaces, bgp, ups, etc) You can write your own To receive traps, you will need to integrated a trap daemon (eg. net-snmp) and passive/volatile checks.

They are not, that I'm aware, defined as a standard and are even discouraged by RFC2076, but a the end of the day it is used in a lot of places. The venerable vacation program (part of sendmail) was my first exposure to them, many years ago. A google shows that many other programs now use them. The original question was how to make an autoresponder behave nicely for lists. The two suggestions (don't reply to non-personally addressed e-mail or email with a [bulk|junk|list] precedence) will both work, though neither will be completely effective on it's own. greeno -- Tony Green ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

They are not, that I'm aware, defined as part of a standard and are not in RFC822 or RFC1123, but a the end of the day they are used a lot. Sendmail itself uses these headers to do message prioritization, though as with a lot of sendmail's internals, this doesn't make it a good thing ;-) The venerable vacation program was my first exposure to them, google shows a LOT of other programs now support their use. If you want to prevent your auto-responder from replying to mail it shouldn't, you need to use both of the tips presented in this thread. If you only choose to ignore mail that is not directly addressed to you, you may still fall foul of certain mailing list managers, promotional mails, etc. If you only use the Precedence method, you're relying on the sender setting something which isn't required (though most lists etc do). Are there better ways of doing this in the modern world? Sure! Can we implement one of them before this guy goes on holiday?

Now I can see PASV icon besides the http service that > I want to monitor on host02, If this is a service that is available only inside a particular subnet that your nagios host is not part of then some sort of remote check (be it NSCA, NRPE, check_by_ssh or other) is required. If it's a public service, or one that is available only inside a particular subnet BUT your nagios host is part of the same subnet then a passive check is feasible but a direct check is better. The closer your test is to what you really wish the monitored host to do the better. You can ping the monitored host, but I've seen servers that are pingable but can't do anything else. You can check the monitored host to see if the httpd (or equivalent) process is running, but resource problems could mean that httpd is running but nobody can get a response from the web server. You can check that you can get a response from the web server with check_tcp (it accepts the TCP connection) but perhaps it can go no further. You can check that you get a 200 response from the web server, but maybe the site it is serving relies on a database being accessible to generate content (such a site is very cache-unfriendly and most PHP web apps I have seen have this failing). In what detail you check the web server is operational is a trade-off between how mission-critical it is and the loading on your nagios host. But if it's a public web server then passive checks are a really bad idea even if your nagios host is on the same subnet. Hint: if your web server only binds to the loopback address and your passive checks are submitted by that web server then everything will look wonderful even though your web server is unusable by anybody not on the same server. Really, really, really, if it's a network service accessible from the nagios host then use a direct check. Checking the number of processes on a server is something you can do with a passive check (but also by using NRPE, check_by_ssh, etc). Checking if crond is running is something you can do with a passive check (or alternatives). Checking CPU load is something you can do with a passive check (or alternatives). But checking if a web server is running is not something you should do with a passive check (or alternatives) UNLESS your nagios host cannot access that web server. And even then you should aim to run your check from a different host on the same subnet. OK, minor qualification time. I have several customer sites which have their own nagios host which submits passive check results for many things. But when it comes to publicly-available services on those customer sites our master nagios host does the checks directly and submits the results back to the remote nagios hosts. OK, that's a simplification. Actually the remote sites do check things like web servers directly but there is also ANOTHER passive check on the same services which our master nagios host submits to the remote nagios hosts. Actually, it's a little more complex than that, but the basic principles are the same. Your nagios checks should be as close as is practicable to testing the real thing bearing in mind the resources that may be needed to do a full check. Sometimes you're stuck with having to monitor a windows process that does not make a network service available and all you can do is check that windows thinks it is running. But if it's a network service visible from the nagios host then do a direct check. If you do anything less you'll end up telling customers "Our monitoring system told us that Windows[turdmark] thought it was running a web server but actually it was as screwed up as only Windows[turdmark] can be. Everything looked fine to our monitoring system but actually Windows[turdmark] was lying." -- Paul Allen Softflare Support ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Sure! There were better ways of doing it even in the ancient world. :) Better vacation responders have always used heuristics to try to avoid responding to mailing lists. The best vacation responders also keep track of who they've replied to and do not send another reply to the same address within some configurable number of days. Either approach (if used sensibly) would avoid contaminating this list. Sadly, Microsoft[turdmark] MUAs have no such intelligence (or if they do then it is far beyond the ordinary user to enable it). Set up a vacation responder in Outhouse[turdmark] or Outhouse Express[turdmark] and it will happily respond to every mail sent to it, whether that mail is from an obviously recognizable mail list or not. Note that some software mentioned here has a name which is the trademark of Microsoft[turdmark] and intellectual property laws require that I identify such software as being trademarked. I have chosen to identify such software by using the notation [turdmark] because it is a steaming pile of shit.

To the original poster (and everybody else who might wonder about this); Nagios 2 runs 4 threads in normal operation and fires a new process each time it runs a check (this can be removed with multiplexing code, which would greatly increase the performance of Nagios). With most thread-implementations on linux and *bsd, threads are separate processes that show up as such on the ps output. If you want to know if there are actually several *master* instances of Nagios running, you must use pstree and see how many top-level leafs there are of Nagios processes. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20050727160703.GI2987@localdomain> Yes but this isn't exactly what I want. When I set active_checks_enabled 0 and notifications_enabled 0 I still see the host appear in the web interface (for example status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=overview) with a green status cell saying "UP" and a green services cell saying "1 OK". This seems misleading if in fact the host is truly disabled. I think the boxes should be greyed out and say "N/A" and not give the impression that the host is OK. Or else they host should not even appear in the web interface if it is truly "disabled". Currently, the only way I know to stop it appearing from the interface is to comment it completely out of hosts.cfg, services.cfg, escalations.cfg (if it is in there), and hostgroups.cfg, which is a tedious/laborious process.

Have a look at NRPE. Install the client on each of your Nagios servers, then use the check_nrpe command from an eventhandler to check whatever it is on the remote system. Quick and easy. That gets you part of the way there, anyway. But I'm guessing where you really want to get to is the ability to monitor hosts from different parts of the internet using several Nagios instances, yet only alert if more than one sees an outage. It could probably be done, but I think it would be an ugly hack, although it might be possible to cobble something together with a combination of NRPE/eventhandlers and check_cluster. I'd have to think that through some more. Would be better if functionality like that were built into Nagios.

The issue we have is that we come across certain disk space issues that take awhile to clean up. Because of our escalation procedure, which is set in stone, the manager will get paged within 20 minutes and his boss within 40. We've discussed using enable/disable, but some people are worried that alerts will be disabled and someone will forget to re-enable. I mean, after all, it's 3:15 in the morning after a 12 hour day and you just deleted a bunch of files. You're not always going to remember to renable the sucker. What we are looking for then, is something that allows me to confirm that I have seen the alert and that I am working on it. Then if the state changes back to OK, to clear my confirmation of the error. Then if the issue goes off again, to alert again and need reconfirmation. If no confirmation comes in within 20 minutes, then the manager gets paged, 40 minutes, his boss. Any ideas on how we would accomplish this? -- sh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It says so in the manual. check_commands are highlighted in red. Are you sure you don't need one defined in a service? Do the service definitions need to be exactly the same? The service definition on the distributed remote host must link to a local service via check_command to do its stuff, I assume, like check_disk. Thats all fine, and I think this is working okay. The Nagios central server host must also have the service definition but *can't* have a check_command because its not a local service (in the case of check_disk). So presumably you need to enable passive checks for this particular service and check freshness and then link to a host_name which is your remote host (although defined on the Nagios central server as well as locally on the remote host Nagios install). Still confused. Perhaps you could post one of your service definitions? (Host/Remote) Sorry for all the questions.

I don't want something that recovers at a certain time, and I certainly don't want people able to input downtimes. What I wanted was a way for the ability to confirm that an alert has been noticed so that it doesn't follow the escalation procedures. And if the states switch, it resets the confirmation. Often times disk space issues cannot be cleared until the next day because we have to talk to the people who own the files on whether we can get rid of certain ones or not. Using scheduled downtime, I have no way of knowing when that will be, and thus, would have to keep going back into the interface to extend the downtime. Also, using flexible downtime, even if the alert recovered, I'd have to go back to get rid of the downtime, otherwise I won't get alerted until the duration is over with. -- sh -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Rob Moss Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 9:27 AM Cc: 'Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Alert confirmation This is a bit of an RTFM in my opinion, but here's a pointer: Browse the list of servers in the nagios web interface.

I'm hoping it's just something simple I'm missing. I'm using check_snmp to check an SNMP-addressable temperature sensor. The check command is basically: check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o -u degF -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ The service uses: check_command check_temp_sh2!60:90!32:118 which should go to "warning" if the temperature is outside the range 60-90 degrees and "critical" if it's outside 32-118 degrees. Running the equivalent command line by hand returns: SNMP OK - 88 degF By fooling around with the ranges I've confirmed the behavior of the warning and critical thresholds. Similarly, if I deliberately set the thresholds too high or too low I can get Nagios to generate a warning or critical condition. But when I configure things "normally", Nagios reports 87 or 88 degrees as a "warning" number ("SNMP WARNING - 88 degF"). I've tried removing the "-u degF" and moving the thresholds to the check command (i.e. from services.cfg to checkcommand.cfg), to no avail. Does anyone see something I'm doing wrong? ----- James P.

I'm sure Ethan would welcome a patch. Irrelevant to who? I will try and find time to maintain it myself if nobody else wants to, and it doesn't annoy anyone too much (but it would be a "fork" of Nagios 1.2). It will probably be a few years before I trust 2.x enought to use it. I guess from the number of people reporting this issue on the mailing list that I'm not the only one. If Ethan will accept patches for 1.2, then great. I could even take some responsibility for maintaining the official 1.x branch if that would help. > Nothing's wrong with it per se.

How do you think I wrote a patch without reading the code? base/utils.c daemon_init() doesn't use mutexes at all in 1.2. It uses fcntl(F_SETLK), but that apparently doesn't work (at least there is no mutual exclusion on Linux). I made it tougher by checking whether the process listed in the PID file is still running, and aborting with an appropriate error if it is. How is the version in 2.x "more complete"? What can be more complete than properly checking that the process specified by the lockfile is not still running?

It says so in the manual. check_commands are highlighted in red. Are you sure you don't need one defined in a service? Do the service definitions need to be exactly the same? The service definition on the distributed remote host must link to a local service via check_command to do its stuff, I assume, like check_disk. Thats all fine, and I think this is working okay. The Nagios central server host must also have the service definition but *can't* have a check_command because its not a local service (in the case of check_disk). So presumably you need to enable passive checks for this particular service and check freshness and then link to a host_name which is your remote host (although defined on the Nagios central server as well as locally on the remote host Nagios install). Still confused. Perhaps you could post one of your service definitions? (Host/Remote) Sorry for all the questions.

This way when a service is not being checked because it finds itself outside his check_periode, we can put in the status information field something like "Service outside check period" This way it's clear on the "service detail" overview that this particular service is not being checked. Visually you are unable to see when a service is outside his check_period. The only way to see this is on the detail of a service "next scheduled active check" which isn't intuitive. When you schedule downtime yourself there are the little ZZZzzzz's which is a nice visual feature. Any tips, tricks, advice or feedback?

Host or service goes down. Click on down host or service. Click on 'Acknowledge this [host|service] problem. Provide a comment. "This command is used to acknowledge a service problem. When a service problem is acknowledged, future notifications about problems are temporarily disabled until the service changes state (i.e. recovers). Contacts for this service will receive a notification about the acknowledgement, so they are aware that someone is working on the problem. Additionally, a comment will also be added to the service. Make sure to enter your name and fill in a brief description of what you are doing in the comment field. If you would like the service comment to be retained between restarts of Nagios, check the 'Persistent' checkbox. If you do not want an acknowledgement notification sent out to the appropriate contacts, uncheck the 'Send Notification' checkbox."

Can you send it again? I don't have high hopes though, considering the fact that you proposed using the extremely non-portable setproctitle() to discern the master process from the slaves.

If a process is already holding the lock one is trying to acquire it will return -1. It's the right way to do it.

It just sits on a server and runs other programs (plugins) to do the actual checking. The plugins leave to the kernel (that handles the routing table) to decide which interface to send traffic through. > Is there a way to fix this problem? > Short answer; No. Long answer; It's possible but extremely cumbersome and the necessary changes to the plugins requires a substantial amount of C-coding knowledge as well as a complete insight into how IP networks work. Since the plugins initiate the connection you'd have to make all the plugins use raw sockets (all of them need to be setsuid for this to work). That way they can set the outgoing IP by themselves. This is almost always a very bad idea, since you might end up sending packets that doesn't have a return route to send the responses through unless each network has a default route that is interconnected with all the other gateways (and all the networks know of each other).

Then you should know that hashes aren't used for serial lookups. Hashes are for when you know the key but not the data. In a sequential scheduling all the objects needs to be parsed and Nagios doesn't have the key to the next object before it has all the data. > As noted in this very thread it is > not documented that values are stored in a hash. It's not documented because it's irrelevant to the user. You need to read the file html/docs/checkscheduling.html in the nagios distribution you need. In particular you want the section on interleave factor, but it's most likely a good idea to read all of it. > And frankly, I don't > give a fuck how they are stored. It should not matter to me.

I know perfectly well what expected means. I also know that assumption is the mother of all fuckups. What I think but don't know is that you haven't read the docs (front to back), so you've made assumptions as a substitute for knowledge. What I completely fail to understand is why you seem to be angry with people just because your assumptions were wrong. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Lead Developer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ 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 From al at its-lehmann.de Wed Jul 27 23:28:11 2005 From: al at its-lehmann.de (Arno Lehmann) Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 23:28:11 +0200 Subject: (service|host)_notification_commands In-Reply-To: <20050727204956.GB21455@hyper> References: <20050727133317.GA4890@hyper> <42E7BB23.3000106@op5.se> <20050727170629.GA21455@hyper> <42E7D593.9070200@op5.se> <20050727204956.GB21455@hyper> Message-ID: <42E7FC6B.5090808@its-lehmann.de> Hi, Ken Dyke wrote: and Andreas Ericsson (ae at op5.se) wrote: ... a discussion that starts to degrade quickly.

Yes, it actually started about the execution order of the service notification commands.

Agreed. Given the limitation the obvious answer would be to create an external script that's called as the notification command and runs x and y in their required order.

The primary server is sending all of its results to the backup server to keep it up to date in case the backup server needs to take over monitoring/notifications. The only problem is that any downtime or acknowledgements made on the primary server don't happen on the backup server unless we manually enter them twice, once on each server.

Nagios doesn't include that kind of logic but there's no reason you couldn't include it in the check command, either on the host doing the monitoring or on your nagios host accepting the passive checks. Make it a simple script that checks the day (or whatever) against your time-period logic. If it's within the period you would normally check, run the check command and return the results to nagios. If outside, return your custom text and the appropriate exit code (http://nagiosplug.sf.net : Developer Guidelines).

In less than 2 days, I filled up the var directory with about 50GB of "temporary" files, and I'm curious what may be causing this problem. The current configuration consists of one master and one distributed node with relatively close nagios.cfg files. (The only major differences are obsessive compulsive and freshness checks.) The distributed node is the one accumulating all of the nagios.tmp files, and the master node appears to be fine. As probably expected, the distributed node is running all of the checks and has about 1600 configured. What would possibly cause all of these nagios.tmp files to accumulate? I could write a script to delete them all every few hours, but that's definitely not a long-term fix as it will not fix the root cause.

As I'm experiencing quite some bizarre behaviour of my Nagios setup, that I rather blamed on my lack of Nagios configuration skills, I now wonder if it couldn't also be at least partly based on the release 2.0b3 I am using. Could it be this one is still a bit "immature" or buggy, and would it be advisable to downgrade to a "stable" release until I've got my basic stuff working as desired? For instance, did I alway wonder why my running nagios daemon didn't continue processing after it caught a SIGHUP. It reported to nagios.log that it caught the signal and was reinitializing, but then no more appeared nor happened. I then had to send it a SIGTERM to come down, and do a cold start again.

I think I remember a post a few months ago saying that one of those plugins was leaving a lot of temporary files around. You could check the creation date of the files with the "stat" command, and correlate it to your nagios.log to see if it was a particular service check or notification command that created them, and which one.

Well, it wasn't of course nagios' fault but mine because I defined a template service wherein I referenced a conact_groups that comprised all of us. When later adding new services I simply forgot to override this attribute with a contact group that contained only my mail account (until I've come to terms with configuring). That's why I desperately miss a means to run a nagios daemon that isn't scheduling the checks by itself but rather by manual invocation. I'd also wish to test out alerting and event handling myself by raising events (e.g. to see where in the end the notification is delivered to). Does nagios provide special utilities, or switches to support (high level) debugging that way?

Message-ID: Hello, We are looking at nagios for monitoring our various systems. One of our complications is that a number of these systems will not be routable from time to time (this is because of VPN policy outside of our control). During those periods (possibly several hours long), the cluster of machines is disconnected from our network and not routable. One solution I can think of is to have a simple wire-protocol that transfers nagios requests (or ncsa data) not over a network connections, but for instance a simple serial interface (the machines that server the disconnected networks are in the same room). I could imagine building an adaptation of ncsa/send_ncsa or nrpe that does not use network sockets, but a different interface (such as serial). The development work is not the problem for me, but I would like get some feedback on whether this is a feasible or sensible approach.. Has such a thing already be attempted? Other solution that people have found for similar situations? Any pointers and thoughts are much appreciated!

Good times. I ended up making a second nagios instance where I test out new ideas before I put them into production. It was an exact replica of the production system (updated every time I wanted to do something), but with my as a contact for everything, so only I'd get hit with my mistakes. It seemed pretty silly testing some very simple adds of services first, but I never had an issue like that happen again. I use a tool called Ntray which can be found on nagiosexchange.org which shows me a constantly updated little icon of my Nagios instance. That way I can watch what is going on before everyone is hit with tons of messages. I used to catch my mistakes before anyone noticed, now I catch problems before anyone else, and the fast response doesn't hurt either. Finally, writing tools to add, and remove hosts was just awesome. Now I don't miss adding something because I don't have to think about it. I didn't know anything about perl, but for parsing Nagios config files, it's not bad to learn. I'd suggest it for anyone with a little time on their hands. I haven't had any problems like that in a quite awhile. It's not High Level debugging utilities, but I thought it might help you out. I was frustrated at first, but Nagios makes my job so much easier now. -Nathan ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ 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 From marc at ena.com Thu Jul 28 17:00:07 2005 From: marc at ena.com (Marc Powell) Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 10:00:07 -0500 Subject: Nagios 2.0b3 still buggy?

It's still beta. Ethan has indicated on numerous occasions that if you run 2.0, expect problems. Quoting an e-mail from Ethan on 3/23/2005 -- "First, I would still consider 2.0 as being beta software - that's why its labeled as such. While no major changes will be made to either the configuration files or functionality before a "stable" 2.0 is released, I do expect that a few major nasty bugs will be discovered within the current code. If you're running the 2.0 code while its in beta, consider yourself a test subject. :-)" As of that e-mail it was expected that it might be out of beta by the end of June. Obviously we're past that but there hasn't been an official release yet so we're still in beta mode. Many people have successfully been running 2.x in production environments for some time. Others have experienced problems. YMMV. > As I'm experiencing quite some bizarre behaviour of my Nagios > setup, > that I rather blamed on my lack of Nagios configuration skills, > I now wonder if it couldn't also be at least partly based on the > release 2.0b3 I am using. > > Could it be this one is still a bit "immature" or buggy, and > would it be advisable to downgrade to a > "stable" release until I've got my basic stuff working as > desired? That's what _I_ would do but to each his own. Do what you're comfortable with. If you're monitoring mission critical applications and you absolutely can't deal with bugs in your monitoring software, use 1.x. > For instance, did I alway wonder why my running nagios daemon > didn't continue processing > after it caught a SIGHUP. > It reported to nagios.log that it caught the signal and was > reinitializing, > but then no more appeared nor happened. That sounds like it might be a bug.

Combined with active_checks_enabled = 0, this would defeat nagios scheduling... Take a look at: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/passivechecks.html You could have something like a top-level service template with active_checks_enabled = 0 for testing... Also, you could change the notification command used. Your contacts have service_notification_commands and host_notification_commands. Just make them point to your test notification-command instead. Hope this was helpful. Regards, Christian.

We are monitoring about 10 servers/141 services using both network connections and nrpe. All on linux. Also, the NagiosQL is a great app for setting up and configuring. It covers most of the functionality and has helped tremendously in deploying Nagios. As a n00b to nagios, I would say we are NOT using the advanced features of Service Groups, escalations and such. However, our Windows admins are happy to get a glimpse of what Nagios can do. They are sold on it and we will deploying a larger Nagios install for monitoring our Windows and VmWare servers. *test subject* Dave Augustus Kenneth Copeland Ministries On Thu, 2005-07-28 at 10:00 -0500, Marc Powell wrote: > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > > admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de > > Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 4:12 AM > > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios 2.0b3 still buggy? > > > > Hello, > > > > recently I noticed a minor "flame" between Nagios > > hackers/patchers going on here > > where one party raised concerns that release 2.X not being fit > > for production usage yet? > > It's still beta.

They're sent to your local MTA in real time using your designated host/service notify-by-email command. If your mta doesn't respond they're just dropped. The only possible exception is if your designated host/service notify-by-email commands are still running for those old messages. Use ps to check. This is _extremely_ unlikely and they're almost certainly in your MTA's mail queue as nagios has built-in timeouts to kill those outstanding notification processes (notification_timeout=30). > > Since the ques are empty but I keep getting old messages it would seem > that nagios has some old alerts that it is sending to my mail ques but I > need to delete them before they get to the que beccuase once they go to > the que they are sent out via smtp before I can not stop them. Just to clarify, when you say they are old, are you indicating that the timestamp in the body of the e-mail is from some time in the past or you're getting alerts for services that were down but have now recovered and the timestamp is recent. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ 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 From marc at ena.com Thu Jul 28 19:14:30 2005 From: marc at ena.com (Marc Powell) Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 12:14:30 -0500 Subject: cleaning out nagios pending messages to be sent Message-ID: > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Marc Powell > Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 12:01 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] cleaning out nagios pending messages to be > sent > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > > admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Jim B > > Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 11:05 AM > > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] cleaning out nagios pending messages to be > > sent > > > > I have looked in the mail ques for postfix and sendmail; I do not exim > > installed, although I am not sure which mta nagios is using but I keep > > getting old messages (send to me via email).

Ack, I forgot to say that you should look at the headers for the messages you are getting, specifically the Received: lines and their timestamps.

When I first began working with Nagios, I contacted a former colleague for some tips on getting started. He raised eyebrows over the fact that I was using beta code. Granted, I'm running a relatively small operation w/ 480 services for 144 hosts, nothing real tricky, just standard plugins and a few home grown plugins. I've worked with a few "official releases" from commercial vendors that were absolutely horrendous. -Jim ________________________________ From: Scott Sugar [mailto:ssugar at proserveit.com] Sent: Thu 7/28/2005 9:27 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios 2.0b3 still buggy?

On some systems it will return -1 and set errno to EINVAL. This is particularly true for systems that follow the pre-2001 POSIX.1 standard. This behaviour is actually also POSIX-compatible.

Another way to do this, depending on your exact situation, might be to make the Nagios XML files (on my system this is /var/nagios/nagios.xml) on each machine viewable by the other machine. If one machine sees the service you're looking for go down, you could run a script that checks the XML file on the other machine, and if it says OK it could manually drop a service check response into the Nagios command file. Or, you could define a separate service for that host on each Nagios machine (like maybe othernagios_svcname), and have that service NOT generate its own checks. Then have a cronjob on each machine check the XML file on the other machine (for the real service) to see if it says OK or not. So each Nagios would have two services for that host, one for its own checks and one for the other machine's checks, and no infinite loop because neither Nagios is set to send checks to the other, it happens through a separate channel. Try this you'll see what I mean: cat nagios.xml |grep [specific host name] Good luck, -- Brian ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ 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 From Ran.Li at sprint-canada.com Thu Jul 28 20:45:59 2005 From: Ran.Li at sprint-canada.com (Ran Li) Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 14:45:59 -0400 Subject: content on the web won't change even nagios process has been killed Message-ID: Hi all, Please advise which parameter(s) exactly control(s) this. situation is 1. after the configuration, I can monitor the services on the local and remote hosts 2. when I made the changes on the configuration, I need to restart the nagios process 3. for the first couple of times when I restarted the nagiso process, the service that being monitored, their status on the web would show Pending first and then turned to green one by one ... which is OK 4.

This is a test subject just chiming in here that we are using v2.03b3 and it is working great. We are monitoring about 10 servers/141 services using both network connections and nrpe. All on linux. Also, the NagiosQL is a great app for setting up and configuring. It covers most of the functionality and has helped tremendously in deploying Nagios. As a n00b to nagios, I would say we are NOT using the advanced features of Service Groups, escalations and such. However, our Windows admins are happy to get a glimpse of what Nagios can do. They are sold on it and we will deploying a larger Nagios install for monitoring our Windows and VmWare servers. *test subject* Dave Augustus Kenneth Copeland Ministries On Thu, 2005-07-28 at 10:00 -0500, Marc Powell wrote: > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > > admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de > > Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 4:12 AM > > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios 2.0b3 still buggy? > > > > Hello, > > > > recently I noticed a minor "flame" between Nagios > > hackers/patchers going on here > > where one party raised concerns that release 2.X not being fit > > for production usage yet? > > It's still beta.

I leave it there for a night, this morning, when I shutdown the nagios, found the the content on the web is still the same, which all services are still OK/green even without nagios. 5. I tried to shutdown some of the services as well, but the content still would not be changed. 6. then I started the nagios again, this time it would refresh the status and tells the services that I shutdown are CRITICAL/Red. 7. I killed the nagios process again, everything stays the same. is this configuration on the nagios or on the apache? some place cache it?

Message-ID: <76260EC12F72AF4582D3582554CBE108EA1977@iron.fusionbb.corp> I'm banging my head on a wall with this so any help is greatly appreciated... Nagios version is 1.2 Stable Release. Problem: I cannot seem to get template definitions or $USERx$ vars defined in resource.cfg to apply settings in hostgroups.cfg. Are these not supported for that config file or something? Our system has a central directory for main nagios config files, and then separate directories for site-specific config files. The site-specific configs are automatically generated by triggered scripts on the servers at the sites, so simply changing them all is a bad option. To effectively make changes to the contacts defined for hostgroups on the sites requires either a template or a $USERx$ variable in the central configs. I've tried the following for templates: ### in central hostgroups.cfg define hostgroup { hostgroup_name gengroup contact_groups people register 0 } ### in site specific hostgroups.cfg define hostgroup { use gengroup hostgroup_name sitename alias descriptive stuff members list_of_hosts, more_hosts, etc_hosts } and also tried the following for the $USERx$ variable: ### in resource.cfg $USER1$=/usr/nagios/libexec $USER2$=people ### in site specific hostgroups.cfg define hostgroup { use gengroup hostgroup_name sitename alias descriptive stuff contact_groups $USER2$ members list_of_hosts, more_hosts, etc_hosts } Thanks, and hope that's enough information. -- Brian ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ 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 From Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de Fri Jul 29 06:58:37 2005 From: Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de (Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de) Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 06:58:37 +0200 Subject: Is there a testing or debugging mode for nagio s?

Where it theoretically would give the oportunity to mend it for at least the Unix side of monitoring, with custom written plug-ins, if only a Unix admin was given access to, we instead are forced to come up with home grown free of charge solutions (like Nagios) to get a rudimentary monitoring of our boxes established. > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of > EXT-Fuentes, James P > Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 7:29 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios 2.0b3 still buggy? > > > Same here - no real problems that I can report. > > When I first began working with Nagios, I contacted a former > colleague for some tips on getting started.

Actually, having seen the file contents, I think it is written by Nagios itself. Looking at the code at [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nagios/nagios/xdata/xsddefault.c?rev=1.20], it seems that Nagios creates this file as a temporary, and then tries to overwrite your normal status log file (probably /var/log/nagios/status.log or /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log). If it cannot overwrite that file, it returns without deleting the temporary file. This looks like a bug in Nagios. It also does not report the error. Perhaps your /var partition is full? You could try the attached patch, which cleans up that one error case, and writes a log message if it can't rename the file.

I must monitor the webserver by pulling a certain CGI URI and see if the Webserver returns a 200. Unfortunately I don't get another port (e.g. 5666/tcp for NRPE) opened by the firewall gang. I only have access from our LAN to the bastion host via SSH. Thus I wrote a short shell script that resides on the webserver and GETs the HEAD of this URI through wget (with -S, -C off, --spider). It's called check_dmz_www.sh So far this script isn't doing any parsing of the output from the GET. I thought to leave this part to a Nagios check_* plug-in. In the libexec dir I discovered check_by_ssh. Unfortunately, as most distributed plug-ins, the documentation is a bit too terse. >From the --help screen I can't see the use of this plug-in, as it doesn't do anything more (i.e. return code parsing logic etc.) than vanilla ssh client does. E.g. I would call check_by_ssh from the Nagios server like this $ /opt/sw/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -1 -H $hostaddress -l www -i ~nagios/.ssh/id_rsa1_dmz_www -C /usr/local/sbin/check_dmz_www.sh Connecting to 127.0.0.1:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 2 Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 11:58:47 GMT 3 Server: Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6b 4 Keep-Alive: timeout=25, max=100 5 Connection: Keep-Alive 6 Content-Type: text/html 200 OK But where's the point in using this plug-in? For that I could as well just call the ssh client. I would want check_by_ssh to recognise just the last line from the wget output to retrieve the webserver's return code whereon to decide whether to submit an OK, WARNING, or CRITICAL to nagios. Rgds.

Hi Chris, and thank you very much for your help; it seems to work now: # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_icmp -H 192.168.1.25 -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1 OK - 192.168.1.25: rta 0.069ms, lost 0%|rta=0.069ms;3000.000;5000.000;0; pl=0%;80;100;; But now, a strange behaviour on the web page: For all the machines checked by this command, I have Warnings on the Service Status Totals page; could yoi tell me something about it?

Immediately prior to the execution of a command, Nagios will replace all macros in the command with their corresponding values. This allows you to define a few generic commands to handle all your needs." I would say that your test confirms that. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ 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 From marc at ena.com Fri Jul 29 17:43:52 2005 From: marc at ena.com (Marc Powell) Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 10:43:52 -0500 Subject: Problem on check_ping Message-ID: > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Chris Wilson > Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 7:43 AM > To: bombadur > Cc: Nagios Users > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Problem on check_ping > > Hi Bombadur, > > > I think (hope) that until this moment cofiguration went good, but I have > > a problem testing for the check_ping plugin, which maybe it's the most > > important for their needings: > > > > # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H 192.168.1.25 -w 3000.0,80% -c > > 5000.0,100% -p 1 > > /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 1 192.168.1.25 > > CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command > > You could try the check_icmp plugin.

Your script would work and if you pursued that path I would need to put in the checking logic and *exit properly* as defined in the Developer Guidelines at http://nagiosplug.sf.net. That being said, you're just duplicating the functionality of the check_http plugin. Why don't you just copy/compile that plugin on the DMZ host and use it to check your web server using check_by_ssh (see below). > > In the libexec dir I discovered check_by_ssh. > Unfortunately, as most distributed plug-ins, the documentation is > a bit too terse. > > From the --help screen I can't see the use of this plug-in, > as it doesn't do anything more (i.e. return code parsing logic > etc.) than vanilla ssh client does. > > E.g.

It's just a wrapper/proxy. The plugin will ssh to the specified host, run the specified command and return it's output _and_ exit code to nagios, just as if nagios had run the plugin on the remote host directly. If you have the check_http plugin in /usr/local/sbin on the remote host you could do something like the following -- /opt/sw/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -1 -H $hostaddress -l www -i ~nagios/.ssh/id_rsa1_dmz_www -C /usr/local/sbin/check_http -S -I 127.0.0.1 -u http://your.host.com/health.cgi -e 200 *NOTE* you can only _copy_ the plugin to the remote host IFF it's the same arch/os/version and has all the required libraries (ldd check_http). -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ 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 From marc at ena.com Fri Jul 29 18:07:29 2005 From: marc at ena.com (Marc Powell) Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 11:07:29 -0500 Subject: nagios displaying jpg icons for host?

Message-ID: check_period is not a plugin. Check_period is one of the options for service.cfg configurations. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service check_period means that a service check will only be executed during the given timeframe. Values for check_period are (usually) stored in timeperiods.cfg. Example: define service { host_name foo service_description bar check_period 24x7 . . . } To reschedule from command line, you will have to submit an "external command" with various values to your nagios.cmd (set in nagios.cfg) file. (see docs: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/extcommands.html or http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?com mand_id=127) I have a perl script where I pass the server name and service name and it will reschedule the check for 3 seconds later. "external commands" are your friend. You can end up scripting all of the commands. good luck. -Lori -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 9:59 PM To: sloane at ku.edu Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Is there a testing or debugging mode for nagios? Hi Bob, what kind of plug-in is check_period? I cannot find it in my Nagios installation. nor in the tarballs of either Nagios or Nagios-plugins. Is it a kind of NoOp plug-in stub I would have to write? How can I re-schedule from the command line. My Nagios web interface (i.e. the CGIs) are still a bit broken (I could easily fix if I had root privileges on the webserver to edit httpd.conf) Anyway, I'm a bit shell-fixed and avoid GUIs whenever possible. I know with Nagios I probably would miss half the fun, but this seems cosmetic to me, and can be addressed later when the base system is at least working satisfactorily. > -----Original Message----- > From: Sloane, Robert Raymond [mailto:sloane at ku.edu] > Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 4:03 PM > To: Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Is there a testing or debugging mode for > nagios? > > > Why not put a "check_period none" in the template, so that the checks > won't normally be scheduled, and then use the "Re-schedule the next > check of this service" link to schedule the check when you want it to > happen?

That was really naive of me to think that check_period could be the name of a plug-in. Of course now I remember that I defined a couple of time periods to be assigned as possible values for the check_period attribute in a service definition context. I think I only forgot about it because I (now for my initial testing) I just once defined a service template where a check_period for my usual working hours was set. And for all later added service definitions I haven't overriden this setting yet (of course in the end it will have to be 24x7) So thanks for reminding me, and forgive my stupidity. Btw, would you mind sharing your Perl script? I'm also into Perl and am curious about others' solutions. Rgds. Ralph -----Original Message----- From: Lori Adams [mailto:ladams at cloudmark.com] Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 6:42 PM To: Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de; sloane at ku.edu Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Is there a testing or debugging mode for nagios? check_period is not a plugin. Check_period is one of the options for service.cfg configurations. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service check_period means that a service check will only be executed during the given timeframe. Values for check_period are (usually) stored in timeperiods.cfg. Example: define service { host_name foo service_description bar check_period 24x7 . . . } To reschedule from command line, you will have to submit an "external command" with various values to your nagios.cmd (set in nagios.cfg) file. (see docs: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/extcommands.html or http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo. php?command_id=127) I have a perl script where I pass the server name and service name and it will reschedule the check for 3 seconds later. "external commands" are your friend. You can end up scripting all of the commands. good luck. -Lori -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 9:59 PM To: sloane at ku.edu Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Is there a testing or debugging mode for nagios? Hi Bob, what kind of plug-in is check_period? I cannot find it in my Nagios installation. nor in the tarballs of either Nagios or Nagios-plugins. Is it a kind of NoOp plug-in stub I would have to write? How can I re-schedule from the command line. My Nagios web interface (i.e. the CGIs) are still a bit broken (I could easily fix if I had root privileges on the webserver to edit httpd.conf) Anyway, I'm a bit shell-fixed and avoid GUIs whenever possible. I know with Nagios I probably would miss half the fun, but this seems cosmetic to me, and can be addressed later when the base system is at least working satisfactorily. > -----Original Message----- > From: Sloane, Robert Raymond [mailto:sloane at ku.edu] > Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 4:03 PM > To: Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Is there a testing or debugging mode for > nagios? > > > Why not put a "check_period none" in the template, so that the checks > won't normally be scheduled, and then use the "Re-schedule the next > check of this service" link to schedule the check when you want it to > happen?

Since I haven't installed any Nagios stuff (incl. Plugins) on the DMZ host yet I actually haven't thought of my little script as a Nagios plugin. Thus I didn't cling to plugin developer's guidelines. But you are right. I should rather use existing Nagios plugins for checking common services (like check_http) than trying to reinvent something that already stood proof of time. The only problem is, as the target box is a DMZ host, there are no development tools installed on (even no Perl, the CGIs are closed source binaries coming from third party company who developped the whole application. To add to the odds, this is the only HP-UX 10.20 box (still 32bit!) we host. Even if I found a compiler (e.g. gcc for this platform) I wouldn't be allowed to install it there for my build. On the other hand we have many 11.00 and 11i servers, and on some of them even C compilers. I'm not sure if I can build 10.20 32bit binaries of Nagios-plugins on one of them. Maybe if use the propper compiler flags. I will see first if my build of check_http for 11.00 will be executable on the 10.20 host (probably not, as you mentioned differing libs etc.). If that doesn't work I will see if I can build for a different target (sort of x-compile). If it all doesn't work I will simply extend my little shell script to conform to the developer's guidelines (viz. return codes, messages), and do my own parsing. Btw, I saw there is a utils.pm, that I "use"-d in my own Perl plugins, though it offers very little functionality. Is there something similar for Bourne shell compatible plugins, e.g. something you would source like ". $libexec_dir/utils.sh"? You see, because an SSH installation on every of our hosts was so obvious and natural to me, I totally missed the idea that check_by_ssh could just be an offering to those whose Nagios server lacks such. > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf > Of Marc Powell > Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 6:05 PM > To: nagiosplug-help at lists.sourceforge.net; > nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Use of check_by_ssh > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > > admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of > Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de > > Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 7:14 AM > > To: nagiosplug-help at lists.sourceforge.net; nagios- > > users at lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: [Nagios-users] Use of check_by_ssh > > > > Hi, > > > > I have a bastion host in a dmz that serves HTTP(S) to the > > internet. > > > > I must monitor the webserver by pulling a certain CGI URI and see > > if the Webserver returns a 200. > > > > Unfortunately I don't get another port (e.g. 5666/tcp for NRPE) > > opened by the firewall gang. > > > > I only have access from our LAN to the bastion host via SSH. > > > > Thus I wrote a short shell script that resides on the webserver > > and GETs the HEAD of this URI > > through wget (with -S, -C off, --spider). > > It's called check_dmz_www.sh > > > > So far this script isn't doing any parsing of the output from the > > GET. > > I thought to leave this part to a Nagios check_* plug-in. > > Your script would work and if you pursued that path I would > need to put > in the checking logic and *exit properly* as defined in the Developer > Guidelines at http://nagiosplug.sf.net.

I have build up my network with "parents" attribute like this: Nagios-----Router----Switch------Server Where "Server hast "parents Switch" in its config, Switch/Router the same. Now I want to tell nagios that if "Router" goes down, it should not send alarms for Switch/Server. Is there a way to do this ?? regards Oliver -- Diese Nachricht wurde digital unterschrieben oliwel's public key: http://www.oliwel.de/oliwel.crt Basiszertifikat: http://www.ldv.ei.tum.de/page72 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
