Subject: Is there a way to prevent a host check in agive

There sure is a way - change the timeperiod defined for that host check 
/ notification so the timeperiod excludes that time frame. Then Nagios 
will not perform a check or send notifications during that time.

It doesn't really mean much if you can prevent a host notification from happening during a specific timeframe only for it to fire off immediately when that timeframe is up because it checked the host anyway and queued up a notification.

You need to drum up a version of GNU getopt for your sun.

You can use this program to see if you already have it somewhere on your
system in common places:

http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/find-sym.html

Usage would be like:

find-sym -s getopt_long

Subject: Nagios 1.2 RPM: "Monitoring process may not be running"
Message-ID: <4223C1AB.4030508@scu.edu.au>

Hi there,

Just thought I'd post this to the list as I'm a virginal Nagios user and 
have had this problem (see subject) for a day or so, and searching the 
archives of this list found plenty of people with this problem, but no 
solutions (that I could find, anyhow)...

I had installed the RPM version of Nagios 1.2 on my RHEL3 workstation, 
configured it and it worked, but it was telling me "Monitoring process 
may not be running". The file /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg had this by default:

nagios_check_command=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios 
/var/log/nagios/status.log 5 '/usr/bin/nagios'

However, there was no /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios file.

This file is in the nagios-plugins RPM - installing that fixed the 
problem for me.

Thanks,
Guy.

Were the plugins compiled on the same machine? Was ping updated since
the plugins were compiled? What OS and Version are you using? Most
likely the output of ping has changed since the plugins were compiled or
check_ping isn't passing the correct parameters to ping.

Quite a lot of people. It was the main reason for the birth of the 
check_icmp plugin. Give it a try and see if it works for you. The latest 
version is at http://oss.op5.se/nagios. The official plugin release is a 
bit behind on that one. I wrote it, and the last rather large patch I 
submitted hasn't been commented on yet.

Subject: nagios-db problems
Message-ID: <3a543d13a5555b.3a5555b3a543d1@shaw.ca>

I'm having some challenges getting nagios-db working properly.

I've installed Nagios 2.0b2, and nagios-db-0.91 on a Debian box, plus mysql-4.1.9 through apt, and using the minimal config shipped with version 2.0.

For some reason I keep getting the following message in the nagios log when I start the process:

[1109693638] Nagios 2.0b2 starting... (PID=1957)
[1109693638] LOG VERSION: 2.0

[1109693648] nagios-db: inserter unloading...


Then looking at the services/hosts status using the UI, all checks remain in a pending state... any thoughts on what I should be checking/changing?

Well this is the wrong list for this, please continue this discussion on
nagios-db-devel at lists.sourceforge.net

As for the problem, I'm not sure why it's not seeing your host/service
data in the initialization phase. Does your config pass the pre-flight
check (nagios -v nagios.cfg) ?

Upgrade your libpng to match your libpng-devel package.

This check works in 1.2 but not in 2.0x.  An extra $ gets added to the
end of the line which makes my check invalid.  Has anyone experienced
this or know how to fix it?  The error I get back is:

Here are my related configs:

The check_ica* programs replace check_citrix* (since now there is a 
completely different ICA protocol called Program 
Neigbourhood[Metaframe XP]).

I am using all these plugins on both Metaframe and Metaframe XP.

You could try this command line instead,

check_ica_master_browser.pl -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -P $HOSTADDRESS$

You would need to do this if the master browser is on a different subnet 
than the one containing Nagios.

Forget check_citrix, it was an older name for what is now called 
'check_ica_master_browser'.

This has to do with some weird macro parsing in 2.0. I believe it has 
been fixed in the latest and greatest. Get it from CVS and re-compile.

I believe the proper perfparse output should be
WIN=22110962363b;warn;crit;min;max;
where min would always be 0 and max should be left out, unless it 
mentions the disk size.

Isn't this fixable through a typecast as such;
div = 0;
char div_chr_list[3] = "KMG";
fsize = size;
while(fsize > 1024 && div < 2) {
	fsize /= 1024;
	div++;
}
printf("WIN: %.2f%cB (%lu)|blahblah", (double)size, div_chr_list[div], 
size);

or something.

Would it be terribly difficult to implement some nrpe-like functionality

Subject: NC_net: check_nt and EVENTLOG
In-Reply-To: <D7F8E9A5C44F3B42B1FDFE1780B640F12DE192@MSPM1BMSGM16.ent.core.medtronic.com>

hi, 

Details on using EventLog  in NC_Net.

An issue that I uncovered after reviewing this email was that white
space in the regular expression needs to be escaped with a backslash. 
(for some reason both single or double backslash seem to work for me
but no backslash fails)

the bassic format of the EventLog's -l is:
Arg1,arg2,arg3,arglist1,arglist2,arglist3
and the results is the count of how entries match, followed by a list
of event ID and the description field of the most recent event.
threshold testing using -w and -c can then be applied to the count.
FIXED v2.20 non_ok result was reported when -w and -c were not used.

Arg1 - the event log you wish search, or use 'any' to search all event
logs.  This parameter is not limited to built in evenlt logs, it will
accept and process any Event log that Windows  Event Log viewer has
access to.

Arg2 is the event type:standard built in ones are Informaiton,
Warning, Critical, or choose any for selecting all types.  This
argument accepts any type that is registered in windows.
Fixed in v2.20 - Type was case sensitive in earlier versions.

Arg3 is the number of minuit between the writen time of the event
entry (which could be mutch latter than the actual time of the event)
and the current time. for example if this value is 5 it will only
report event entries that were writen to the event log in the last 5
minutes.  use 0 to retrieve allevents.

example : all error entries from system that occured in the past hour:
"System,Error,60,0,0,0"

Arg1,arg2,arg3 are processed first and a copy is saved of any event
entry that matches all three.  Then the remaining filters are applied.

The filters are in a list form were the first element of the list is
how many items will be applied.  this is a signed numeber.  negitive
for exclude matching entries from list and positive number to include
only matching entries.

arglist4 : Event Source.  this filter list is to match against the
source of the entry.
for example to list all events that were from  NC_Net or EventLog that
occured in the last 5 min:
"any,any,5,2,EventLog,NC_Net,0,0"
To list any error that occured in the last 10 minites except for
errors by NC_Net:
"any,Error,10,-1,NC_Net,0,0"

Arglist5: Description Field Regular Expression Filter.
This filter uses a regular expression to match the entries Description
field.  It is case sensitive, and whitespace needs to be escaped. 
Regular expressios are simmilar to egrep. parathases and for grouping
and pipe for or.
To list all events that have the word start or stop in there description:
"any,any,0,0,2,start,stop,0"
this is equivalant to:
"any,any,0,0,1,(start|stop),0"
make sure to use the backslash to match whitespace in the expression.
for example: "any,any,0,0,1,Jack\ and\ Jill",0

Arglist6: is a filter for the event id.  This test the event ID as
text so using ranges is not accepted.  for example to test if NC_Net
was started in the last 5 minutes:
"Application,Informaiton,5,0,0,1,1004"

Note: V2.21 is currently in testing, and will be released soon, If
anyone is having issues with NC_Net let me know that way I can address
the problem before I release 2.21.
2.21: Enumcounterdesc - prints the internal detailed description of
the performance counter or categroy.
WMICOUNTER -tests the result of a WMI querry, if the query resolves to
a number or a list of numbers then it will test agains warning and
critical values.

Good Luck
Tony

Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to create anything, but it does mean that
Nagios is running and making notifications.

I should have mentioned that I'm running Nagios 1.2, sorry.

Nagios was running and detected that the servers were down (visible in
status.cgi) but did not send notifications.

I can now reproduce this at will, and have an strace log of the problem.
When nagios is started at boot time, it seems to run, but can't send any
mail. It manages to spawn /bin/mail, which crashes with a segmentation
fault. This does not appear to be detected or logged by Nagios.

Restarting Nagios after boot fixes it, so I'm assuming that it's an
environment issue. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

The last will and testament of /bin/mail is:

15:47:58 execve("/bin/mail", ["/bin/mail", "-s", 
	"[NAGIOS] Alert: \"Loband Pilot Web Server 1\" is DOWN",
 	"chris at aidworld.org"], [/* 13 vars */] = 0

Hi all,
maybe some of you already asked many times, but the search engine on
Sourceforge is not working at all, so here I am.

I'm looking for a web (php/perl) interface to easily set or change my
nagios configuration. Did anybody of you already use or develop
something like this?

TIA

Mariano

Hi guys,

Whats the option I need to change to lessen the sensitivity of Nagios? 
Example:

The Nagios service send me a notification always some service is down. 
But, I need to change the interval of time. Always some service stay down 
for 10 seconds the Nagios notification me. And I need to change this 
with a interval of time bigger.

Someone know how I can do it?

Thanks for all.

Hi Andreas,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to help me!

Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to create anything, but it does mean that
Nagios is running and making notifications.

I should have mentioned that I'm running Nagios 1.2, sorry.

Nagios was running and detected that the servers were down (visible in
status.cgi) but did not send notifications.

I can now reproduce this at will, and have an strace log of the problem.
When nagios is started at boot time, it seems to run, but can't send any
mail. It manages to spawn /bin/mail, which crashes with a segmentation
fault. This does not appear to be detected or logged by Nagios.

Restarting Nagios after boot fixes it, so I'm assuming that it's an
environment issue. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

The last will and testament of /bin/mail is:

15:47:58 execve("/bin/mail", ["/bin/mail", "-s", 
	"[NAGIOS] Alert: \"Loband Pilot Web Server 1\" is DOWN",

Subject: Is there a way to prevent a host check in agive time period?
Message-ID: <CC901341AE254F43BB8CADB031DB79B104F120@utah.mihlfeld.com>

That doesn't work as expected per my original message on 02/25/05.  You can specify a new time period that indicates the "dead time" and then set that as the time period for the service check / notification and host notification, but host checks still happen as you cannot specify a "check_period" -- only notifcation period for the host.  When the host check fires off and fails, it queues up a notification then fires it off after the dead time is over.  

Here is a scenario to give example.  We set a new time period that is 00:00-03:00,04:00-24:00.  We use this time period on a specific server that we want absolutely no checks or notifications for the host or services between the hours of 03:00am and 04:00am every day.  It succeeds in not doing any service checks or notifications during this time period.  For the host portion, it manages not to notify *between 03:00am and 04:00am*.  It still must perform some type of check, though, as it fires off a notification if it saw anything happen during this hour as soon as 04:00am rolls around.

Someone previously mentioned it could have something to do with freshness checking, but didn't go any further with details on what I might want to look into.  Do I want to completely turn freshness checking off?  Exactly what do I need to do to make the host check not happen during this hour so it doesn't queue up a notfication after this hour passes?

Thanks.

There sure is a way - change the timeperiod defined for that host check 
/ notification so the timeperiod excludes that time frame. Then Nagios 
will not perform a check or send notifications during that time.

It doesn't really mean much if you can prevent a host notification from happening during a specific timeframe only for it to fire off immediately when that timeframe is up because it checked the host anyway and queued up a notification.

This is the first message that I send to this list,
so I want tell you hello.
Now I try to explain my problem...
I must check cisco's interfaces using nagios.
I've find a good plugin (perl) it's called "check_snmp_int.pl".
I'm able to use it only as command, but I can't use it with nagios.
I post (follow) my configuration file:

"services.cfg"
*******************************************************************************
define service {
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       host_name
        service_description             CHECK_INTERFACE
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command                   check_snmp_interface!my_community!eth*
        }
*******************************************************************************

"checkcommands.cfg"
*******************************************************************************
define command {
        command_name check_snmp_interface
        command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -n
$ARG2$
}
*******************************************************************************

I don't understand why nagios think that there isn't plugin:

Status Information:
(Return code of 126 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

Can you help me?
Thank you very much.

Subject: check_citrix
Message-ID: <1109685727.1606.26.camel@columbus.webtent.org>

I find a lot of information pertaining to check_citrix and not able to
find this plugin. I did find these below, can't remember where, but
unable to get them to work:

check_ica_master_browser.pl
check_ica_metaframe_pub_apps.pl
check_ica_program_neigbourhood.pl

For instance, when trying the following command:

# 'check_check_ica_master_browser' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_ica_mb
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ica_master_browser.pl -B
172.16.1.255 -P $HOSTADDRESS$
        }

The Nagios response is:

Failed. No response to helo datagram (master browser query) from
172.16.1.255.

Any one know if I'm doing this right or where to get a better citrix
plugin?

Riiight I see ... <scratches head> I'm sorry I can't add anything else 
useful except reiterate what has been stated before - if service checks 
aren't scheduled to run during that timeperiod then there shouldn't be 
any hostcheck performed and host notifications should not be sent our or 
queued!!

So are you using that timeperiod for your notification_period for that 
host? According to this: 
http://your_server/nagios/docs/xodtemplate.html#host, 
"notification_period: 	This directive is used to specify the short name 
of the time period during which notifications of events for this host 
can be sent out to contacts. If a host goes down, becomes unreachable, 
or recoveries during a time which is not covered by the time period, no 
notifications will be sent out." Does this not meet your requirement? It 
seems that notifications should not be queued during this timeperiod if 
a host check is somehow scheduled to run during this time.

I would also suggest checking the value of your check_period for the 
services on that host are correct to exclude this time?

Is $USER1$ defined correctly?
Does the script have execute permissions set correctly?

Subject: NC_net: check_nt and EVENTLOG
Message-ID: <D7F8E9A5C44F3B42B1FDFE1780B640F12DE192@MSPM1BMSGM16.ent.core.medtronic.com>

Hi.

I am currently configuring Nagios to monitor several of our Netbackup servers here in Minneapolis, MN.

I am using the NC_Net 2.19 agent for our Win 2XXX servers and it is working well. 

I have a question concerning the syntax of the check_nt command and finding multiple strings within any of the Windows event logs. I have attempted to use the "http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.plugins/1228" example, but have not had success.
For example, I am not sure what the check_nt command should look like to search/find the "SCSI INTERFACE ERROR" and "CHECK CONDITION" strings from the event logs.
If anyone has examples on finding multiple strings it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
 Mitch Lien

Subject: NSClient++ 0.0.1 RC5 updated (and new CheckFileSize plugin)
Message-ID: <4224DFF9.1060204@medin.name>

Hi,

First off sorry for the lateness, but I've been home sick the last week 
and been rather unproductive.
Anyways here is a new version that has a few new features and a few new 
fixes.

Mainly;
 * Improved thread safety in Core
This *might* fix the crash that someone had.

 + Added exception handling and logging in PDH code
This should give better error messages in these parts (as opposed to 
before when they silently failed).

+ New module for check size of files/directories
Hehe, bored last week I did a quick plug in to check the size of a file, 
group of files, directory.

 * Changed build to Dynamic link
Someone said this was better, I'm skeptical. Mainly this means (for non 
programmers) that there are now 3 DLLs distributed along with NSClient 
(and the files are smaller).

* Changed the default port to 12489.

* Added a simple/rough/quick check_nscp client for *nix (so now you can 
use the EventlogChecker that has been there for a while :)

Now for the details.
This build has an optional debug log "mode" that I would like everyone 
that run into problems to enable.
Edit NSC.ini and make sure this is not commented out: "debug=1". Also if 
you run into problems feel free to send along the log (NSC.log). And as 
usually you can run it with -test and use the console logger.

Secondly the new CheckFileSize plug-in is used along the following lines:
CheckFileSize&<option>&<option>
where <option> one of the following:
MaxWarn=<size gmkb>
MaxCrit=<size gmkb>
MinWarn=<size gmkb>
MinCrit=<size gmkb>
ShowAll
File=<path>
File:<shortname>=<path>

<size gmkb> is a size with a possible modifier letter (such as G for 
gigabyte, M for Megabyte, K for kilobyte etc)

This means that 
CheckFileSize&ShowAll&MaxWarn=1024M&MaxCrit=4096M&File:WIN=c:\WINDOWS\*.*
Will check all files under c:\windows and using the short name WIN, and 
warn if the size is above 1024megabytes and Critical if the size is 
above 4096megabytes.
On my computer this returns:
WIN: 1G (2110962363B)|WIN:2110962363:1073741824:4294967296

Known bugs:
returned size are truncated to G for instance the above should have been 
1.96G not 1G.
performance data only shows max warn and crit (not minimum)


Thirdly:
The Eventlog Checker

CheckEventLog&<logfile>&<Query string>&<Query string>...
This is rather complex, and I think next update will be a web interface 
for the SF page where I can start documenting these but a few simple 
ideas on how it works:
CheckEventLog&Application&warn.require.eventType=warnig&critical.require.eventType=error&truncate=1024&descriptions&all.exclude.eventSourceRege
xp=^(Win|Msi|NSClient\+\+|Userenv|ASP\.NET|LoadPerf|Outlook|ApplicatioE|NSClient).*

/Application
/log file (options are System, Security and whatever you have in your 
syslog)
/warn.require.eventType=warnig
/Means for an event to be considerd a warning it has to have event type 
"warning" (options are information, error, etc)
/critical.require.eventType=error
/Means for an event to be considerd an error it has to have event type 
"error.
/truncate=1024
/Truncate the response at 1024 chars (to prevent buffers from overflowing)
/descriptions
/Means we show description for events.
/all.exclude.eventSourceRegexp=^(Win|Msi|NSClient\+\+|Userenv|ASP\.NET|LoadPerf|Outlook|ApplicatioE|NSClient).*
/This means we exclude (from all, as in warning and error) all event 
sources matching this regular expression.

A quick note on "warn.require.eventType" they all look 
<type>.<action>.<key> where;
type is: warn, error, all
action is: require, exclude
and key can be one of the following:
eventType, eventSource, eventSourceRegexp, generatedBeforeDelta, 
generatedAfterDelta, writtenBeforeDelta, writtenAfterDelta, regexp
As I said this is rather complex and not easy, I will try to clear the 
documentation up, and also look at similar projects to see how they do 
things. This was just done so I could see if it was possible.


Fourth:
check_nscp is included under unix_client. This is a C client (hacked 
version of check_nt) for unix that is more generic and should work to 
send checks to NSClient++ (not regular NSClient), mainly I would use 
this only to play with CheckEventLog and CheckFileSize.

Usage: check_nscp -H host [-p port] -c command -s password [-t timeout]

Options:
-H, --hostname=HOST
  Name of the host to check
-p, --port=INTEGER
  Optional port number (default: 12489)
-s, --password <password>
  Password needed for the request
-c, --command <command>
  Command to execute on remote node
-t, --timeout=INTEGER
  Seconds before connection attempt times out (default: 10)
-h, --help
  Print this help screen
-V, --version
  Print version information

The -c <command> is they key, here you enter the *entire* command, as 
oposed to check_nt that has other arguments.
So -c 
'CheckFileSize&ShowAll&MaxWarn=1024M&MaxCrit=4096M&File:WIN=c:\WINDOWS\*.*' 
will do the Checksize exaple from before.

To compile this *I* did:
gcc -I. -I.. -I../lib -I../intl -I/include -g -O2 -MT check_nscp.o -MD 
-MP -c -o check_nscp.o check_nscp.c;
gcc -g -O2  -L. -L/usr/lib -o check_nscp check_nscp.o netutils.o utils.o 
../lib/libnagiosplug.a ../lib/libcoreutils.a -lnsl -lresolv -I/usr/include
But that was because that was what check_nt did on my computer, so if 
someone is good at making ./configure or make for *nix feel free to help 
me out.

Ohh, lastly: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nscplus/ is where you will 
find it :)


Anyways now I'm off for bed...

Add gettext support to Nagios and the CGI's and provide the necessary 
.po-files. Check out the plugins project on how to do this properly. 
You'll also have to convince Ethan that this is a good idea, so that he 
can apply it upstream.

Did you set this to be the check_period of the services on that host? If 
you did, then Nagios won't have a chance of noticing anything that's 
going on during that period.

I can imagine one exception to this;
A host somewhere in the same "parent tree" goes down, and nagios starts 
scanning for network outages. If the hostcheck fails, it might 
erroneously queue up the notification and send it later. In this case it 
should be considered a bug.

This only applies if you're using passive service checks on the host. 
You haven't said anything about that, so I'll assume no.

You can turn it off per service or per host if you like.

The hardcore way around it you could hardcode the timeperiod in the 
script doing the hostchecking and simply return OK in case the time 
falls in the specified timerange.

Hi Jorge,

hmmm... I don't know which APAN you're talking about, but the one I know
can be found under http://apan.sourceforge.net/ and it's for "integrating
Nagios with RRD-tool. The purpose is to make it easy to collect statistics
from different service-checks in Nagios and to view it graphically via a
web-interface. " (copy & paste from APAN's website)

Maybe you are watching another movie... ;)


Regards,
Martin

Raise max_check_attempts or retry_check_interval in the service object 
definition.

Wasn't there a reply to this yesterday? You need to adjust
max_check_attempts and retry_check_interval. For example --

        max_check_attempts              5
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            3

Using the above, the service must be down for approximately 15 minutes
before a notification will go out.

Hi all,
maybe some of you already asked many times, but the search engine on
Sourceforge is not working at all, so here I am.

I'm looking for a web (php/perl) interface to easily set or change my
nagios configuration. Did anybody of you already use or develop
something like this?

TIA

Subject: Latency between passive check receipt and reflection on web page
Message-ID: <422536AB.8050903@qut.edu.au>

Hey all,

We are using Nagios 1.2 on Redhat AS EL3 to show lab host availability 
to the student population of QUT. The lab hosts submit a passive service 
check 'Lab PC available' and this service is cluster checked for the 
number of OK or CRITICAL hosts. The cluster check program is called by a 
cgi for display on a web page.

There is quite a delay between a lab host submitting a result and that 
state change being reflected on the Nagios web site and subsequently the 
cluster check.

Does anyone have any tips or pointers on how to reduce this time between 
receipt of a passive service check and seeing the change on the web page 
and cluster check result?

I've set service_reaper_frequency=1 and command_check_interval=-1.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <200503011430.j21EUNmv013449@mailb.dga.defense.gouv.fr>

Hi all,


I'm using Nagios 2.0b2 with nagios-plugins 1.4 and my problem reside in 
check_ping plugin. 
When I use it under shell, i receive this message : "Error: could  not 
interpret output from ping command". 
Here is the command : (i'm in libexec directory and under root user) 
./check_ping -H xx.yy.zz.tt -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

All is red on my nagios page.

Have anyone encountered this problem ?

Thanks in advance for your replies .

I'm using perfparse to put performance stats in a mysql database. It's
working good. But I would like to disable performance stats on most of
the servers I have and only enable it on a few servers. Can this be
done??

Many Thanks Barry

It's a sourceforge thing. It bugs out from time to time.

Mariano,

    There's a bunch of these available.

    NagMIN
    NaWUI
    Frutiy (I prolly spelt that wrong)

    I've used NaWUI with pretty good success on Nagois 1.x configs. If your
using 2.x, Fruity claims support for them. There was a release annoucement
posted to this list about 2 days ago with the info..
http://fruity.nakedgeek.com is where it's at.

    Also check http://www.nagiosexchange.org/ for the others (and abunch of
other neat stuph too)

Hi all,
maybe some of you already asked many times, but the search engine on
Sourceforge is not working at all, so here I am.

I'm looking for a web (php/perl) interface to easily set or change my
nagios configuration. Did anybody of you already use or develop
something like this?

TIA

Mariano

I think as perfdata is only gathered when it is there you can probably 
make a simple wrapper script that strips it away from the command.
ie. check_foo -H $HOST$ | strip_perf

where strip_perf would be something along the following:
#!/bin/sh
awk -F \| '{print $1}'

only theorizing on a potential solution so don't really know...

I am a newbie and I have been unable to shake the error below:

Whoops!

Error: Could not open CGI config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg'
for reading!

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:

   1. Make sure you've installed a CGI config file in its proper
location. See the error message about for details on where the CGI is
expecting to find the configuration file. A sample CGI configuration
file (named cgi.cfg) can be found in the sample-config/ subdirectory
of the Nagios source code distribution.
   2. Make sure the user your web server is running as has permission
to read the CGI config file.

Make sure you read the documentation on installing and configuring
Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a
message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at
http://www.nagios.org.

I have read the most of the documentation so far.  this error occurs
when I try  to run a script on web interface.   All of the files are
in their correct/default location.

The documentation says that I am supposed to get config files from the
plugins installed, but I can't find any so I am using the samples that
come with nagios.  I have changed the samples to match my environment.
 My apache is running as user apache and it is a member of the nagios
group.

Nagios-2.0.b2
pluggins 1.4

TIA,

GM

Nah. It should be simple enough to add a white-list filter to perfdata. 
I think you want to talk to Ben Clewett about this (or was it Benoit 
Mortier? I keep mixing 'em up).

Hi,

Have a look at : www.oreon.org, they've just released a 1.0 version.

Message-ID: <02ed01c51f67$4015a4e0$01fea8c0@itss.auckland.ac.nz>

The next version of the Windows Eventlog agent is now available for download
from www.steveshipway.org/software

NagEvLog is built on the familiar NTSyslog and send_nsca code, and will
filter eventlog entries and forward any matching ones to Nagios via the NSCA
interface.

This fixes a couple of small bugs, adds a new 'test NSCA daemon settings'
button, and hopefully stops a couple of problems reported in the forums.

It is available as MSVC++ source, executables, or as a new Windows
Executable Install package which will set up some default filters and
configuration, and provide an 'uninstall' package also.

Please place any feedback on the forum at www.steveshipway.org/forum

Thankyou for your time,

Steve

Subject: How to check Nagios itself??
Message-ID: <eb4dce4e05030213427223587c@mail.gmail.com>

I am using nagios on our servers and it is doing fine. But now I want
to check if Nagios is  still working (Control the Controller). Of
course it can be done by Nagios itself (but who is going to report a
down state??) or another Nagios running somewhere else. But how do you
check if Nagios is still running from, lets say the other side of the
world by not using Nagios. Any ideas someone???

Tnx

The cheap hack to make sure its always running would be to make the
nagios daemon a direct child of init in your inittab, with respawn
set.

I grabbed the cvs version from www.nagios.org, recompiled, ran make all,
ran make install, ran make install-init, ran make install-commandmode...

Started up nagios and ran the check and got the same error.  Is there
something I missed?  Thanks.

This has to do with some weird macro parsing in 2.0. I believe it has
been fixed in the latest and greatest. Get it from CVS and re-compile.

Subject: Growing number of orphaned service checks...
Message-ID: <20050302223433.34756.qmail@web53901.mail.yahoo.com>

Hello!  I've been lurking on the lists for a while now.  I have a
smallish-environment of 41 hosts, 397 active checks and 5 passive checks. 
Most of my active checks are using nrpe-2.0, and my passive checks are
submitted via nsca-2.4.  I noticed recently that some active checks did not
appear to be completing in a timely fashion (most are set to an interval of 7
minutes, but seemed to be taking an hour or more to complete), so I turned on
check_for_orphaned_services.

Then I saw a rather alarming number of services which nagios was detecting as
orphaned, and rescheduled for immediate checks.  The longer nagios is left
running, the longer and longer this list becomes (although it does not
contain a predictable list of services; in other words, it's not the "same"
services being orphaned all the time), and the more and more nagios processes
are left running ("Process Info" reports upwards of 600+ nagios processes
running).

I can restart nagios to "catch up" for some time, but left running, the
orphaned list begins to grow again.  The monitored nodes are not
heavily-taxed either.

My management server is used for other web services (other in-house business
web pages, user interfaces, etc), but is not in my opinion unusually busy or
overtaxed.

I've experimented changing my max_concurrent_checks value from the default of
0 to values both above and below what is recommended by running "nagios -s",
with no noticeable improvement.  I've tried extending my
normal_check_interval, and that seemed to delay the initial onset of the
problem (it took longer to start seeing orphaned checks, but they continued
to grow just the same).

I'll be happy to post any specific configuration or log file entries as
anyone sees appropriate, but didn't want to clutter the list with more info
than needed.

I'm using nagios-1.2 on a Linux box running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES
release 2.1 (Panama), linux kernel 2.4.9-e.27.  Updating the Linux release is
not an option (corporate standard and configuration freeze), and running
nagios-2-beta is highly undesirable due to it's "beta" state and the usual
corporate fear of beta-release software.  However, if this issue is addressed
in nagios-2, I might be able to make a business case to upgrade.

If there are resources available online which I could use to help
troubleshoot this issue, please point me to them.  I've quite throughly
reviewed the 1.2 and 2-beta docs, FAQs and mail archives, and haven't found a
solution.  If there is more information I can post regarding my
configuration, please ask away...

Thanks - Chuck

The plugins kit comes with a check_nagios plugin. 

A second Nagios setup could do it, or a simple cron job using
check_nrpe and check_nagios.

Do NOT do this. If you for some reason want to turn nagios off or 
reconfigure it and make a mistake, you won't be able to stop it at all, 
and it might respawn too fast so that init disables it altogether.

Check nagios from cron. Check cron from nagios. Make sure one restarts 
the other in case either goes down. Make sure both send notifications if 
either goes down. If both go down simultaneously you're shit out of 
luck, but you'll never be able to cover all cases anyway.

What's your plugin_timeout value? It should take care of killing runaway 
plugins. This might fail in case the plugin is running as a different 
user than the nagios process though. No +s bits anywhere in the path to 
or on your plugins?

Definitely not good. This might be due to several master instances 
running simultaneously (an excess master might then reap the check 
results of the actual master process through the waitall() syscall, 
causing the real master never to see the result of the checks). What 
happens if you killall -9 nagios, clean up the garbage and then restart 
it properly from the init script?

This isn't a load issue, so don't worry about it.

If you feel like it, you could put all of the config up for browsing. 
Make heavy use of sed to obscure sensitive data, like so;
sed 's/\(address[\t ]*\).*/\1xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/' object.cfg > 
object.cfg.stripped

What version of plugins are you using?

I hope you're aware that linux 2.4.12, 2.4.24 and 2.4.27 all had local 
root exploits, although 24 and 27 only with rather special configurations.

I didn't even know the issue existed in 1.2, so I don't think a Nagios 
upgrade will be all that helpful, really. Ofcourse, if you have a spare 
server available you could try running both in parallell for a while and 
see if 2.0 works better for you.

gdb might be a good option. You should recompile your nagios with 
extended debugging symbols in case you decide to use it (-ggdb3) and 
keep the source-files untouched after running ./configure so you can 
follow execution more closely. Enabling the proper DEBUG preprocessor 
directive might also help (I believe there's a special one just for 
debugging checks).

Other than that I'd say a couple of scripts to examine the logfiles for 
missing checks is your best bet.

Subject: Splitting web interface from the rest of nagios: Possible?
Message-ID: <42268325.9010302@scu.edu.au>

Greetings,

I'm setting up nagios to run on one of the machines in my LVS cluster. 
My LVS cluster has two LVS directors (1 active, 1 redundant) and 8-10 
(varies) hosts within the cluster.

I have installed nagios and nagios-plugins on one of my two database 
boxes within the cluster. This database box, among other things, 
NFS-exports a shared web document root to two load-balanced web servers 
(also within the LVS cluster). Hits to these two web servers are 
load-balanced by the active LVS director. Anyway...

What I would like to do is run the nagios server on the database box, 
but serve the nagios web interface from both load-balanced web servers 
simultaneously (so that either web server can be taken offline without 
affecting any services). As the web document root is shared to both web 
servers from the database server, I can share files from the database 
server to both web servers, which makes me think that it should be 
possible to set up nagios in this fashion. I would then run nrpe (?) on 
each host in the cluster (including the web servers and the LVS 
directors) and poll them all from nagios on the database server.

 From my reading about nagios thus far, it appears that I would have to 
have the nagios CGI scripts available on both web servers, and that the 
CGI scripts would have to have access to the configuration and state 
information used by nagios. As far as I can see, I can set this up fine 
through NFS sharing.

I'm wondering if this will work, however... can anyone see why it 
wouldn't work? Does the nagios daemon have to be running on the same 
host that's serving the web interface? Any problems with file locking 
if, for example, the same CGI script running on both web servers wants 
to access the same file at the same time? Any other problems?

Thanks,
Guy.

Subject: check_log2.pl gives  no output
Message-ID: <00c901c51fa6$0271c5d0$12ff7893@RoomsNet.com>

Hi,

Iam usig a plugin to check my syslogs.all remote hosts syslogs are redirect to my nagios server and on that sever iam running the check_log2.pl  script. if  i used that in command line its workign fine. but if i put that to nagios it gives no output error (iam cheking the "syslog" key word to just chek the result)
in my checkcomands.cfg i defined it as follws

define command {
command_name check_log2
command_line $USER1$/check_log2.pl -l /var/log/syslog -s /tmp/seek -p syslog
}


in my services.cfg

define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       syslog-server
        service_description             Syslog monitoring
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7

Are you trying the same in explorer.If it is so have you configured authentication for cgi.
If you ahve and after giving password u r getting this error then try disabling the authentication by removing the .htaccess from /usr/local/nagios/share and /usr/local/nagios/sbin .

Thanks.

It should work.

No. That's just the most common setup.

Possibly. Investigate Samba CIFS with spinlocks.

I'm doing something similar: I nfs export /usr/local/nagios from one
machine and mount it on another. You won't be able to issue external
commands from the web interface though if the command file is on an NFS
mount as nagios uses a named pipe. In my case that means I have two
servers that can be used to view the cgis, but I can only issue external
commands (acknowledgements, etc) with one of them.

I use Monit on a number of my servers, including my Nagios boxen.

http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/

It's basically a web interface to make sure that a given process is actually running.  It can interact with init scripts, and so forth, and even gives you some basic statistical information. 

It's not fancy, but it's effective.

Do NOT do this. If you for some reason want to turn nagios off or 
reconfigure it and make a mistake, you won't be able to stop it at all, 
and it might respawn too fast so that init disables it altogether.

Subject: Using check_by_ssh
Message-ID: <FDFEE708F82DD311A1340008C7E628771BE788C7@nhct04.dsl.net>

Is there any way to use check_by_ssh to stack checks onto one connection? I
am able to use it just fine for one server/one check as follows:
 
[root at nagios-server libexec]# ./check_by_ssh -l nagios -H nagios-client -C
'~/bin/check_disk -c 3% -w 5%'
DISK OK - free space: / 770 MB (76%); /boot 79 MB (82%); /dev/shm 504 MB
(100%); /tmp 230 MB (93%); /u00 90092 MB (95%); /usr 928 MB (46%);
/usr/local 1881 MB (93%); /var 735 MB (73%);| /=237MB;956;976;0;1007
/boot=18MB;91;93;0;96 /dev/shm=0MB;477;487;0;503 /tmp=16MB;233;238;0;246
/u00=4855MB;90199;92098;0;94947 /usr=1087MB;1914;1954;0;2015
/usr/local=134MB;1914;1954;0;2015 /var=273MB;956;976;0;1007

Fine right? Sure, works great. Plugged that into my checkcommands.cfg and
restarted nagios. Perfect. But why use one ssh connection for disk, then
another for CPU load, another for procs, etc, when check_by_ssh can stack as
follows?
 
[root at nagios-server libexec]# ./check_by_ssh -l nagios -H nagios-client -n
nagios-client -s disk:procs -C '~/bin/check_disk -c 3% -w 5%' -C
'~/bin/check_procs'
DISK OK - free space: / 770 MB (76%); /boot 79 MB (82%); /dev/shm 504 MB
(100%); /tmp 230 MB (93%); /u00 90092 MB (95%); /usr 928 MB (46%);
/usr/local 1881 MB (93%); /var 735 MB (73%);| /=237MB;956;976;0;1007
/boot=18MB;91;93;0;96 /dev/shm=0MB;477;487;0;503 /tmp=16MB;233;238;0;246
/u00=4855MB;90199;92098;0;94947 /usr=1087MB;1914;1954;0;2015
/usr/local=134MB;1914;1954;0;2015 /var=273MB;956;976;0;1007

Thats no good, I only get one line... Well I can put the output to a file...
 
[root at nagios-server libexec]# ./check_by_ssh -l nagios -H nagios-client -n
nagios-client -s disk:procs -C '~/bin/check_disk -c 3% -w 5%' -C
'~/bin/check_procs' -O /tmp/test.ssh

cesses
 
Cool! Well, that doesnt help me get that info INTO the nagios report. The
result of putting this into my checkcommands.cfg shows only the first
check/result (in this case, disk) with no mention or anything of the proc
check.
 
Is there any way to get the multiple results into nagios without having to
do multiple ssh connections, one for each check?

Subject: sendmail logs
Message-ID: <1109867625.28211.40.camel@monitor2.pictage.com.ar>

Hi all, 

I have the following question:  I have used the option "Disable
notifications for all services on this host" and the host itself for all
services/hosts monitored by Nagios.  Now if I look at sendmail's logs
there are entries like "did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during
connection to MTA" every 2-3 mins.  I know that is nagios because if I
stop it I don't get those entries in the maillog anymore.

Does anyone know why Nagios is "checking" if sendmail is alive and how
to prevent Nagios from doing that?

Thanks in advance,

Maurizio

You must have nagios checking the SMTP service on that machine.
Disabling notifications for a host or service does not disable checks
and only prevents email notifications for problem hosts and services
going out. Use "Disable checks of all services on this host" or for a
specific service, "Disable checks of this service" to stop the checks
themselves. If you want to permanently stop the check, remove the
service definition from your config files.

I'm running  Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora) Server and I've followed all of the
documentation and I've set nagios up before on other distributions of
linux, but I'm not sure what the problem is here and I've read in some
forums that others have had issues with getting Nagios to work on Fedora
Linux.  The error I get when navigating to http://localhost:8080/nagios/
is

You are right, it's the SMTP check that generates that entry in the
logs.

Thank you very much.

Alle,

	We've recently installed 2.0b2 with plugins 1.4. When we run the 
check_dhcp script from the XXX.XXX.142.0 subnet using one if the servers 
on the XXX.XXX.154.0 subnet from a machine that has two interfaces, one

Hi all,
       I need a plugin wherein I can check for a service running on port 3050/udp .the problem here is even when this service is running then also I can't "telnet 0 3050" So I checked out the check_udp plugin but it did not give required results.
Is there any way out plzzz suggest.

Thanks

Subject: Is there a way to prevent a host check in agive time period?
Message-ID: <CC901341AE254F43BB8CADB031DB79B1238079@utah.mihlfeld.com>

I checked several times and this time period that excludes this one hour out of every day is what is set for the check_period / notification_period for services (as stated in my first message on 02-25-05).  This is working as expected.  There is no service check or notification on any service of this host during this one hour "do not check / notify" period.

I am not using any type of passive checks, so I guess freshness checking is a non-issue.

No other hosts anywhere in the parent tree (or anywhere for that matter) are going down during this downtime time period.

Lastly, I'd really like to avoid hardcoding this to assume everything is OK during this time period by modifying the host check command.  Is there some other file I'm missing.  I've checked and checked again the hosts.cfg, services.cfg and timeperiods.cfg files.  They all are in line with each other about what time period to use for what host / services on that host.

Did you set this to be the check_period of the services on that host? If 
you did, then Nagios won't have a chance of noticing anything that's 
going on during that period.

I can imagine one exception to this;
A host somewhere in the same "parent tree" goes down, and nagios starts 
scanning for network outages. If the hostcheck fails, it might 
erroneously queue up the notification and send it later. In this case it 
should be considered a bug.

This only applies if you're using passive service checks on the host. 
You haven't said anything about that, so I'll assume no.

You can turn it off per service or per host if you like.

The hardcore way around it you could hardcode the timeperiod in the 
script doing the hostchecking and simply return OK in case the time 
falls in the specified timerange.

Do you mean service_check_timeout?  I have mine set at 60 seconds.  Each 
plugin I call (which allows a timeout argument) is also invoked with a 
60 second timeout (i.e. "$USER1$/check_ssh -t 60 $HOSTADDRESS$").
I do not see any messages in my log files indicating that plugins are 
timing out, nor do any service checks go to "unknown" states from timeouts.

Everything is running as nagios:nagios; all exectuables are owned by 
nagios:nagios, and there are no suid/sguid bits set anywhere from / to 
the executable path, nor on the executables themselves.

I have seen plugin timeouts happen, in very specific scenarios unrelated to 
this issue; those problems were explainable and corrected at the time.  

There appears to something special or different about this case which 
precludes nagios from detecting the plugins are timing out.

Tried that just now.  Same behaviour.

I didn't necessarily think it was specifically related to load, but perhaps 
to some other system resource(s) which is in some fashion not allowing 
nagios to really "start" a service check, even though it thinks it kicked 
one off and the process entry is created in the process table, or causing 
some race condition not allowing the service check to complete processing.
I don't know the down-and-dirty details of how nagios manages its service
check calls, so perhaps the kinds of race-conditions I'm fearing might not
even be possible.

I was considering that, but decided it would be a lot of work with all the 
internal name and address replacements.  :)  I'll see if I can get time to 
sanitize the files so they don't reveal anything internal to our network 
and configuration here and see if I can put them somewhere.  I would hope
this isn't really a configuration problem, though -- it "feels like" I 
shouldn't be able to mis-configure nagios into this kind of state.  This 
smells more like a system resource issue or process managment bug.  Maybe.

Sorry, I neglected to specify.  I'm using 1.4.

Long story, but the short version is "our group doesn't support the OS on 
that machine."  :)  We support the machines we are using that machine to 
monitor, but we are essentially "borrowing" time on this server to run 
nagios to watch our machines.  I've already expressed concerns with the 
somewhat out-dated kernel and distrib on that box, but there's nothing 
else I can do about that.  I do have root-access to the box, but only use 
it for whatever is absolutely necessary for our system-monitoring tasks.  
Aside from that, this machine is a "black box" to me.

I do not.  I might be able to get a downtime where I could take down my 
existing 1.2 management server and run a 2.0 build for a short period, 
just to test it.  That would take some time to schedule, since this is 
currently a production system.

I might have time to try that, but I don't expect it would be until 
some time next week.  I'll see how things are shaping out schedule-wise
here.

I'm not sure what you mean specifically there.  You mean just generating a 
list of what checks are being missed and verifying nagios is picking them 
up as orphaned?

as far as i understand there r plugins for the same but none of them have an option for remote host.

Subject: Nagios 2 - passive host checks
Message-ID: <BAY18-F7E47061C36A1CEEB66EE59D5C0@phx.gbl>

Hi guys

1 use the new Nagios 2.0b2 Version, because i want/need the feature of 
passive host-checking.
First let me explain our Environment. I have currently 160-200 hosts to 
check with Nagios in passive mode. I use NSCA-CVS Version 2.5 for this 
behavior.
Every 5 minutes sending a Host-Check to our Nagios and NSCA Server via 
cronjob, with send_nsca (echo `hostname`;0;OK | /opt/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H 
nagioshost.mydomain.ch -d ?;? -c /opt/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg). This works 
fine.

On Server site i use the following Host-Template for our DMZ-Hosts (passive) 
:
define host {
        name                            generic-host-passive
        notifications_enabled	1
        event_handler_enabled	0
        flap_detection_enabled	1
        process_perf_data	0
        retain_status_information	1
        retain_nonstatus_information	1
        active_checks_enabled	1
        check_freshness	1
        freshness_threshold	420
        check_period	24x7
        check_command	check_dummy!2!"No Report, host maybe down"
        max_check_attempts	10
        notification_interval	120
        notification_period	24x7
        notification_options	d,u,r
        register	0
}

Host Configuration:
define host {
        use	generic-host-passive
        host_name	stydia
        alias	stydia: Nagios Development Server (Sun)
        address	10.25.1.65
        contact_groups	unix-admins
        notification_period	workhours
}

Nagios main-configuration (relevant Parts):
host_check_timeout=30
execute_host_checks=1
accept_passive_host_checks=1
check_host_freshness=1
host_freshness_check_interval=420


Every host with passive Checks uses template 'generic-host-passive'.

This works fine for some hosts, but not all and there is my possible 
misunderstanding.

See this Log Entry :
[Wed Mar  2 09:20:09 2005] EXTERNAL COMMAND: 
PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT;sapdb1;0;OK

[Wed Mar  2 09:20:10 2005] HOST NOTIFICATION: 
phmeie;sapdb1;DOWN;host-notify-by-devnull;CRITICAL: No Report, host maybe 
down

I have about 30 Hosts which goes Down (for Nagios) directly after receiving 
the passive Host-Check, what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Chris

When checking for issues with the PATH variable, look in your script for
any external commands that are called within the script (e.g. by
backticks or "system" or "open").  If these are using relative paths
(e.g. not starting with /) then change them to absolute paths (e.g.
change 'bin' to '/usr/bin')



You may also be able to "su - nagios" and run then command that way to
see what is happening.

Brent - you answered your own question. You are running apache as user
"apache". The apache user does not have permissions to the
/usr/local/nagios/share directory. Try:
 
chown -R apache:nagios /usr/local/nagios/share 
 
and see if that helps

Subject: [Nagios-users] Fedora 2 /Apache 2 /nagios/ Permission issue


I'm running  Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora) Server and I've followed all of the
documentation and I've set nagios up before on other distributions of linux,
but I'm not sure what the problem is here and I've read in some forums that
others have had issues with getting Nagios to work on Fedora Linux.  The
error I get when navigating to http://localhost:8080/nagios/ is
  

Forbidden


You don't have permission to access /nagios/ on this server.

 

httpd is running as user 'apache'
 
The apache error log has:
[Thu Mar 03 09:42:44 2005] [error] Directory index forbidden by rule:
/usr/local/nagios/share

 
Any ideas on this or how to fix it?  More information about my setup is
below:

Subject: How to check Nagios itself??

I said it was a cheap hack. ;]

If you have a different process monitor (ie: Daemontools, Monit, or
even CFEngine) I'd make one of them a child of init to ensure they are
always running, and use them to ensure that nagios is up when needed.

In case you use the cheap hack, don't forget, if init does catch it
respawning too fast (failing to load) , it will log it to syslog and
only disable it for 5 minutes before trying again. It doesn't stop
permanently. You do read your logs right? ;]

Secondly, if you really needed to take it down for a bit and you don't
want init respawning it, remove the executable bit on the nagios
binary. Add it back when you're done and it'll come up within five
minutes.

All that being said, the above behavior works for Linux, I'm not sure
about other flavors. (And don't manually edit inittab on AIX!)

Subject: Checking cluster hosts & services
Message-ID: <10810.194.69.224.7.1109944271.squirrel@194.69.224.7>

Hi all,

I just read the docs on monitoring service and host clusters using Nagios
1.2.
For "external" services, such as PING, DNS, and all those which can be
checked from the Nagios-box using a TCP/IP connection everything seems to
work fine.
Problem arise when trying to check shared mass-storage, Oracle instances,
etc.

When checking individual cluster elements, following happens: on node-A
the disks are OK but on node-B they are on critical status, just because
the filesystem is not mounted on node-B... and so on.

I'd be very thankfull for any suggestions on this issue. Maybe some of you
already have worked on such an scenario before and know the right steps to
reach the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Martin

Hi Renato,

If you compiled the Nagios, you can save in the etc directory of your
Nagios's instalation some configuration example files running the
command:

make install-config

In the file INSTALLING, you will find more information of the
instalation process of the Nagios.

Regards,

Carla Freitas

Subject: New version 2.0b2 New Servicegroups feature
Message-ID: <eb4dce4e05030307474b8a8985@mail.gmail.com>

Maybe someone has the same problem, or even better, the solution. In
this version is a new feature: servicegroups. I created a new file
servicegroups.cfg, put this in the nagios.cfg as the cfg file for
servicegroups. Made a couple of servicegroups, followed the example.
Checked with nagios -v nagios.cfg till all the "normal" typo's were
gone, so everything is correctly added but the the final check failed.

/bin/nagios -v nagios.cfg

Nagios 2.0b2

Reading configuration data...

Segmentation fault

There is no other error message visible anywhere. So what is wrong???
Could there be a bug with this new servicegroups

I think you misunderstood. The cfg_file directive in nagios.cfg names an 
object configuration file. That file can contain any kind of object 
(host, contact, service, contactgroup, timeperiod, you name it). What 
the files are called has nothing to do with things except for 
traditional purposes, where hosts are kept in hosts.cfg, services in 
services.cfg and so on. I'm sure you get the picture.

If it's a linux box, install the plugins you want to use on the remote
host and use check_nrpe or check_by_ssh. You could also use SNMP. If
windows, there's NRPE_NT and NSClient, among others.

It's part of the standard plugins but will only be compiled if you have
ssh installed. I believe the Makefile expects to find it as
/usr/bin/ssh.

Subject: Problem with passive checks
Message-ID: <75D349FBF7C131408F5061B7168072C3B462F8@INOAVREX06.ptin.corpPT.com>

Hi All,

I have a problem with Nagios related with the passive checks.

I'm using Nagios 1.2 and the situation is:
Sometimes Nagios receives the passive check but it does nothing with it,
as the following example from nagios.log :

"om nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;om;BILLING;0;BILLING stopped"

And Sometimes it does what it should do, as the following example from
nagios.log :

"om nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;om;BILLING;0;BILLING stopped"
"om nagios: SERVICE ALERT: om;BILLING;OK;HARD;1;BILLING stopped"
"om nagios: SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: om;BILLING;OK;HARD;1;myhandler"

The configurations for this service is that one:

"define service{
        use                             	generic-service
; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       om
        service_description           BILLING
        active_checks_enabled      0
        check_period                    none
        check_command              check_dummy!0
        }
"
And the general configuration for the services is this one:

"define service{
        name                            generic-service ; The 'name' of
this service template
        active_checks_enabled           1       ; Active service checks
are enabled
        passive_checks_enabled          1       ; Passive service checks
are enabled/accepted
        parallelize_check               1       ; Active service checks
should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance
problems)
        obsess_over_service             1       ; We should obsess over
this service (if necessary)
        check_freshness                 0       ; Default is to NOT

        notifications_enabled           0       ; Service notifications

        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        notification_interval           0
        notification_period             24x7
        event_handler_enabled           1       ; Service event handler

        event_handler                   myhandler
        flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is

        retain_status_information       1       ; Retain status
information across program restarts
        retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
        normal_check_interval           1
        retry_check_interval            1
        max_check_attempts              1
        check_period                    24x7
        contact_groups                  admins
        register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }
"
Other relevant configuration from nagios.cfg:

check_external_commands=1
command_check_interval=-1
accept_passive_service_checks=1

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Regards All,
Miguel

Hi,
I am moving a 90 host configuration from Netsaint to Nagios 1.2.
I want to keep information about hosts' uptime (2 years+ backward logs).
Which file should I move to nagios directory? Is it possible to do it?
Thanks

All,

 

I'm sorry this post is outside the general scope of this mailing list,
but I'm trying to get information from the group that would most likely
be try to accomplish the same things. 

 

My company is in the process of building a new datacenter and ownership
wants to setup a NOC.  I know that in addition to my Nagios server
keeping me informed on what is going on inside my environment, it shows
very well, great in fact.  What I am trying to find is a complimentary
app that will monitor my links between remote locations and our
datacenter.

 

I have an nTop (http://www.ntop.org <http://www.ntop.org/> ) Server
located at my datacenter and it collects a lot of great information, but
it's almost too detailed and in a format that show terrible.  I'm
looking for something that gives a bird's eye view of my network and its
links.  I'm mostly interested in ICMP response time presented in a
graphical format and bandwidth utilization.  

 

Here is an example of what I was hoping to find:

 

http://wm.quest.com/products/SpotlightAD/img/diagnostic.jpg

 

The screen shot is in Re: to active directory, but it has the general
'look' I'm trying to find.

 

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Kyle

One exists, but I've found the functions available to be more hindrance 
than help. I'm about to write one of my own if you're interested.

You'll have to write one. It shouldn't be hard though, considering 
stat(2) is SVr4, SVID, POSIX and X/OPEN compliant (i.e. ports to any os 
out of the box).

Read up on eventhandlers.

It's a cron with rules. It runs the commands you tell it to at the time 
you want it to, if certain conditions (specified by you) are met.

Message-ID: <422774E4.7070809@datawire.net>

I need some advice on this one, I am seeing a lot of this in my 
/var/log/secure I have read that this is due to the cps setting in the 
nsca xined.d config... which is fine, except I have mine set to 3000 cps 
and am still getting the xinetd: FAIL: nsca service_limit message.  I 
don't think I could actually be getting more then 3000 nsca connections 
per second, is there anything else that could cause that? and is the 
only fix raising the limit until it's no longer warning?

I am just starting out as well.  My initial configuration is using the
minimal.cfg instead.  Everything is working fine so far.  Of course,
if you decide to go the same route you have to make the relevant
changes in nagios.cfg.

I might just look into doing it myself, although I'm not to keen on
cgi/html.

There should be a comment field when you make any change, like disabling
all checks on a host/service so that you can input your comment and hit
one button to submit the whole thing if you so desired.

Subject: Status Map Background Image
Message-ID: <2579c6b205030410533ffb8caa@mail.gmail.com>

I'm having trouble figuring out how to display a background image in
the Status map.  I'm running Nagios 1.2 on Solaris 8 (sparc).  I dont
think it's a problem with gd libraries since normal gd2 images show up
on the statusmap....It just shows no background image.

----Excerpt of cgi.cfg----
statusmap_background=image.gd2

# ls -l /usr/local/nagios/share/images/image.gd2
-rw-r--r--   1 nagios   nagiocmd 5765483 Mar  4 10:45
/usr/local/nagios/share/images/image.gd2

any ideas on why this is not functioning?

I am experiencing a problem when I try to add/modify a service, 
specifically the "user_check_command".  The field is updated in the 
database but is not written to the configuration service file 
(services.cfg).  When I add or update a service, the user_check_command 
field is updated in the database but not added to the configuration file.  
Any existing arguments to a service are still present in the config file.

For example, I'm using nrpe and sending arguments.

check_command   check_nrpe!check_procs -a "-w 3:3 -C ccm_aci"

Fruity doesn't show any information on the "check_procs -a -w 3:3 -C 
ccm_aci" when I choose the particular service.  If I add information to 
the user_check_command field, it updates in the database.  When I perform 
an export, It doesn't add the new value.  Fortunately the value stays the 
same as the original line so I don't lose any information.

This tool has great potential.

Subject: questions regarding plugins and actions
Message-ID: <64090.66.218.37.216.1109871544.squirrel@webmail.duskglow.com>

First question:  Is there a generic plugin framework around that I can use
as a starting point for writing a new plugin?

Second question:  I would like to write a plugin that monitors the last
modified time of a file and alerts if it hasn't been modified in 60
seconds.  Is there an existing plugin that can do this or will I need to
write one?

Third question:  I would like to have nagios take an action on receiving
such a notification in addition to alerting - I'd like it to restart a
process (the web server process, to be exact).  Can I use one of the
commands in the misccommands.cfg file (I think) to cause this to happen?

Essentially, my last question is more generally this:  Is there any reason
why nagios can't be more proactive in solving problems, or is it only
designed for notification?

Subject: check_disk plugin help
Message-ID: <cfcb649f050304120531fa4405@mail.gmail.com>

I am running the newest version of nagios (v2.0b2) on slackware 10.1 with
plugins v1.4.

I have had most of the simple plugins working ok for weeks now (check_ssh,
check_http, check_imap, ...), yet I am having trouble getting check_disk
to work.  It always returns "DISK OK - free space: / 10687 MB (85%):" no
matter what valid disk I check.  That value (10687 MB) is not correct.  It
returns the same number when I check any disk on any server.  I'm guessing
it's some default number.

I define the command like this:
define command{
        command_name    check_disk
        command_line    $USER1$/check_disk -p $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}

And I use the service like this:
define service{
        host_name                       linuxserver
        service_description             /dev/hda2
        check_command                   check_disk!/dev/hda2!10%!5%
        max_check_attempts              5
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            3
        check_period                    24x7
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
}

I'm pretty sure I have to do something at the other end (the server I am
trying to check).  Because you can't just check a certain port to check
the about of space left on disk.  It seem like nagios would have to log
into the server or have some sort of privilege on the remote server.  The
servers I am check are mine, so I have user access to all of them.

I see other people using disk_check successfully, so I know it is possible.
I just can't find any information on how to use it right.

Can someone help me get check_disk to work?
Any advice??

Thanks,

It seems that there is a problem with the init script. It does not stop 
the application properly, there are still nagios instances running after 
issuing the stop command several times. That was the problem why nagios 
did not take into consideration my configuration changes because it did 
not restart or reload.
Is that a bug? I noticed the same problem in version 1.2. The only 
workaround is to kill -9 all nagios instances...

I need some advice on this one, I am seeing a lot of this in my
/var/log/secure I have read that this is due to the cps setting in the
nsca xined.d config... which is fine, except I have mine set to 3000 cps
and am still getting the xinetd: FAIL: nsca service_limit message.  I
don't think I could actually be getting more then 3000 nsca connections
per second, is there anything else that could cause that? and is the
only fix raising the limit until it's no longer warning?

Your assumption is correct. check-disk is a local plugin meaning it only
checks disks on the machine it's run on. You'll need to copy the plugin
to the machine you're wanting to check and use either NRPE or
check-by-ssh to actually run the plugin and return the results to
Nagios.

It checks the disk space on the local computer!

To check a disk on a remote machine define a command with the plugin
check_by_ssh with the right parameters followed by the plugin
check_disk (which must reside on the remote machine of course) with
the right parameters.

And it works!!

for example with ssh authentication from a keypair:

# 'ssh_disk1' command definition
define command{
        command_name    ssh_disk1
                command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh
-H $HOSTADDRESS$ -i $KEY -l $USERNAME -C
'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -m -w 20% -c 10%'
                        }

Subject: obsess_over_service
Message-ID: <422878EB.1050705@nobel.ro>

Hi all,

I have a problem with nagios 2.0b2 reagarding obsess_over_service. It 
does not matter if the obsess_over_service is set to 0 to some services, 
the command is still being run. I want to activate obsess_over_service 
only on some services, but instead all services run the command.
Does anybody have the same problem?

Thank you,
Gabriel Constantinescu.

Message-ID: <59B15593F41BD24591D59436E7226EAD017FB21C@Khiphx2.khimetrics.com>

You need to use check_nrpe to call the check_disk

./check_nrpe -H blah -c check_disk or in services.cfg

check_command                  check_nrpe!check_disk

Local plugins, like check_disk check_load check_swap need to be called
through check_nrpe.

And the limits are determined through the nrpe.cfg on the machine you
run it at.

If you do not have check_nrpe (it doesn't come by default), download it
and use that.

You'll need it installed on the machine you are going to as well. And
on. Chkconfig'd to.

Hi, I wondering if anyone has seen a lotus notes plugin which checks
with the server for corruption of mail.boxes and log files. Nagios
plugins 1.4 has a check_lotus plugin but it appears to only show if
the server is responsing to clients.

Thanks,

Could it be something to do with the PATH variable?  You might be trying
to call a external program that works for you in the command line, but
nagios can't find it.

Hi,



Iam usig a plugin to check my syslogs.all remote hosts syslogs are
redirect to my nagios server and on that sever iam running the
check_log2.pl  script. if  i used that in command line its workign fine.
but if i put that to nagios it gives no output error (iam cheking the
"syslog" key word to just chek the result)

in my checkcomands.cfg i defined it as follws



define command {
command_name check_log2
command_line $USER1$/check_log2.pl -l /var/log/syslog -s /tmp/seek -p
syslog

}





in my services.cfg



define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name

[Nathan Oyler] 

My first perl script was a Nagios plugin to check nfs mounts to verify
they are okay.

I catted plugins until I found the perl ones, and followed their basic
outline. You should get very far doing that.

[Nathan Oyler] 

Don't know, I thought it was a lot of fun writing my first plugin, I
think you should just go that route anyway.

Read up on event handlers, that's there exact purpose.

Again, Event Handlers are your friend.

Subject: distributed setup question
Message-ID: <31C3FE622274D44A8FE8E8D649AE17885FA45A@exch1.wni.com>

Will a nagios 2.0 dist server be compatible with a nagios 1.2 central
server in a distributed setup ?

Subject: Question concerning service escalations, Nagios 2.0b2
Message-ID: <59B15593F41BD24591D59436E7226EAD017FB2AD@Khiphx2.khimetrics.com>

I have my host escalations written out, but the service escalations
seems like a lot of entries to maintain.

I'd like to escalated services to the IT director on the second
notification while still notifying everyone else. I'd like to do
something like.

Host_[name|group] *
Contact_group ITDIRECTOR

And have it assume the other contact groups. It doesn't look like this
is the current setup, am I missing a very easy way to do this?

How does everyone else currently use service escalations? If I did one
for each host_name and service, that would be terrible to administer.

Doing them by Hostgroup would be easier, because my contacts are done
via hostgroup, but it doesn't look like it accepts that via the
documentation.

I want to add some graph to the information provided by some of the 
plugins.

I have seen several different tools to help collect and graph the data? 
What do you use?

Does someone have a cookbook on how to set it up?

Actually, that's not the problem.  apache is in the same group as the
nagios user called 'nagcmd'.  Here's the solution to my problem:
 
Maybe the missing / at the end of /usr/local/nagios/share in 

Alias nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share"

and

Options None should at least be Options Indexes

if you want to view index files

	Brent - you answered your own question. You are running apache
as user "apache". The apache user does not have permissions to the
/usr/local/nagios/share directory. Try:
	 
	chown -R apache:nagios /usr/local/nagios/share 
	 
	and see if that helps

If you move over your /path/to/netsaint/var/archives directory you
should be fine. I do not believe there were any changes in the log
format between later versions of Netsaint and Nagios. Your hosts and
services will need to keep the same names of course.

While not at all similar to the screenshot above, our network guys use
Nodemap some which may give you the birds eye view (literally) of your
network that you are looking for --

nagios-db may be overkill for you, but it would work. It's a Nagios 2 NEB
that stores nagios performance data (as well as service and host
availability) in a database. It's completely supplemental (ie not a
patch), and while you can't get to its data via the CGIs, the data will be
stored in a SQL db, so it should be pretty easy to get to it with whatever 
graphing tool you want to use.

Fun problem. Try compiling nagios with debug support for checks (DEBUG1, 
I think) and pipe the output somewhere so you can parse it when you have 
leisure. That way you can see exactly what it's trying to run during the 
timeperiod, or why it doesn't try to run things.

Subject: no output from check_traffic plugin
Message-ID: <008601c5210a$b01f5480$6f1e140a@CIABATTA>

For some reason in nagios 1.2 running from the gentoo portage version I get an error saying (no output). This plugin worked fine when the plugin was running on debian under the same setup. I have done ever troubleshooting technique I know and the command executes flawlessly su'ed to the nagios user environment and all permissions are set correct. I even tried it with 777 to test the perms with the same (no output) result. My last conclussion is that this is a parsing error. I dont know why the command will execute when I run it from the comand line but fails when the daemon calls it. Ive even renamed another testing command in its place and that command runs fine. This also verifies that my cfg files are correctly set up.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I am just starting out as well.  My initial configuration is using the
minimal.cfg instead.  Everything is working fine so far.  Of course,
if you decide to go the same route you have to make the relevant
changes in nagios.cfg.  you can manually make those config files.  See
the bigger.cfg file and copy out of it.

Subject: nagios plugins for oracle 10g...
Message-ID: <20050304232420.97172.qmail@web61307.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi there,

I'm on a quest for nagios plugins for oracle 10g.

Here is what I've found so far:

mathias-kettner.com/download/check_oracle_writeaccess -- good
nagios-plugins-1.4/contrib/check_ora_table_space.pl   -- useless for 10g
nagios-plugins-1.4/plugins-scripts/check_oracle.sh    -- useless for 10g
nagios-plugins-1.4/contrib/check_oracle_tbs           -- good
nagios-plugins-1.4/contrib/check_oracle_instance.pl   -- not sure yet

Where might I find more nagios plugins for oracle 10g (or 9i would be good too)?
Once I find them,
I'll be nice and post my findings here!

Thanks,
Nacho

Is it possible to limit a user to only view data of a specified hostgroup?
If so, can some one point me where to look for how to do this in the docs?


Thanks,

If you find such a beast, the world may beat a way to your door.

Like ICA, it is hard to deal with, since every aspect of the protocol 
(from the client point of view) is private/undocumented.

Perhaps the way to go is to run Lotus tools/server side tools remotely.

Sort of. It's the worker threads that reap checks and such that have to 
wait for forked children before exiting. It's graceful, see.

Not the same problem at all. That was a bug in the init-script. This is 
a missing feature in nagios code (nagios doesn't force-kill forked 
instances when it catches sigterm).

Just what I observed. Although I'm monitoring single services passively.

Until now, I don't have any tips, but I noticed that the service trends display
has the right information, while the service state page and service details have
outdated information.

The log is correct, too.

Subject: Host checks & check_nagios_db
Message-ID: <20050306012726.GA1099@zippy.toger.us>

Do host checks delay the writing of the status file? I've got a
Nagios instance with about 500 hosts / 5K services. About 35
hosts went offline at the same time, and I started getting
alarms that the Nagios status table was not updating fast enough
in addition to the host alerts.

I have Nagios set to aggregate status updates and to write them
out every 90 seconds. Check_nagios_db is configured to alarm if
the database isn't updated in 120 seconds. Running the script
manually I saw times in excess of 240 seconds.  I removed the
offending hosts (they were down for good) and the problem went
away, but I am wondering if anyone else has seen this.

This is Nagios 1.1 on Linux using DB storage of the host and
service status.

Thanks,
-Jason Martin

Hi all,
 
I have nagios 1.2. I have more then 200 hosts and the view of the normal
status map is just to "crowded". Of course I use "parents" in hosts.cfg, but
the objects are too close to each other (specially in the first circle), so
it make it very hard to look for a specific host in this "mess"...
I tried to change the "CIRCULAR_DRAWING_RADIUS", but the map grow too big.
It is too difficult to find something in a large image...
Is there a tool/way to change the view of the map so it will be draw as
areas and when I click on the area I'll drill down into it? something like
big brother ?
http://mapage.noos.fr/frederic.bregier/bbmap.png
<http://mapage.noos.fr/frederic.bregier/bbmap.png> 
 
I tried to use the "2d_coords" in the hostextinfo.cfg, but this only work in
"user-supplied coords" (and in this I need to add all my hosts). Is there a
tool to do this graphically? 
 
TIA,
Gili

Hello,

 

Does anyone have a way to define Nagios access via LDAP (more specifically
Microsoft Active Directory)? I would like to be able to define a user group
in AD (say NagiosAdmin, NagiosUser, etc.) and authenticate access to Nagios
using AD.

 

Thank you,

you probably have multiple nagios daemons running and overwriting the 
status logs...

stop all nagios daemons and start using the init scripts..

Not so much a nagios question - more a webserver question.  have you tried 
auth_ldap with Apache?

Subject: Error: Could not open CGI config file
Message-ID: <20050306220904.CE754416118@ws5-2.us4.outblaze.com>

Hi. I am new to Nagios. I read the guide before the install process. I have the web interface up and running and /usr/local/nagios seems to be just fine. I think I have done everything right but I am getting this error when I go to  http://127.0.0.1/nagios/

"Error: Could not open CGI config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg' for reading!"
and I get this...
# Make sure you've installed a CGI config file in its proper location. See the error message about for details on where the CGI is expecting to find the configuration file. A sample CGI configuration file (named cgi.cfg) can be found in the sample-config/ subdirectory of the Nagios source code distribution.
# Make sure the user your web server is running as has permission to read the CGI config file.

My /usr/local/nagios/etc looks like this:
bigger.cfg-sample         htpasswd.users           nagios.cfg-sample    resource.cfg.in
cgi.cfg                   minimal.cfg-sample       nagios.cfg.in        template-object
cgi.cfg-sample            misccommands.cfg-sample  resource.cfg
checkcommands.cfg-sample  nagios.cfg               resource.cfg-sample

As for the user. I am using XAMPP which runs apache as "nobody". I am not sure what it runs as but I would assume as a regular user for the obvious reasons. I do not want it to run as anything esle for security reasons. I really have no idea what to do now. I may have missed something important along the way :S. I realize this is a bit unorganized but ANY suggestions you have are more than welcome. Please be detailed :)

This is a permission error. su - to the apache user and try to cat the 
cgi.cfg config file. When you can do that, you'll get past this 
particular obstacle.

It would be if it followed the '|'. The command definition should be
more like --

'...Additional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "**...'

/bin/mail should be replaced with the path to the mail binary of course.
My guess is that configure might not have been able to find it.

I haven't done this before, so I'd be interested in any feedback, but I
would have thought that you could have used Nagios for this.



If you want to collect latency and bandwidth information, then you could
use any number of tools for this, such as my personal favourite,
cricket.  Smokeping looks pretty good for latency, but then again you
could just use Nagios with one of the many perf data graphing add-ons.



Once you are collecting that information, the next step is to be able to
visualise this with a bird's eye view.  This is what Nagios does for us,
so you could use passive checks to warn you when a bandwidth threshold
is exceeded.  Latency would be easy enough to do within Nagios with the
check_icmp plugin.



Finally, just display the list of host problems to give the bird's eye
view.  If there's nothing there, then everything's good!

All,



I'm sorry this post is outside the general scope of this mailing list,
but I'm trying to get information from the group that would most likely
be try to accomplish the same things.



My company is in the process of building a new datacenter and ownership
wants to setup a NOC.  I know that in addition to my Nagios server
keeping me informed on what is going on inside my environment, it shows
very well, great in fact.  What I am trying to find is a complimentary
app that will monitor my links between remote locations and our
datacenter.



I have an nTop (http://www.ntop.org <http://www.ntop.org/> ) Server
located at my datacenter and it collects a lot of great information, but
it's almost too detailed and in a format that show terrible.  I'm
looking for something that gives a bird's eye view of my network and its
links.  I'm mostly interested in ICMP response time presented in a
graphical format and bandwidth utilization. 



Here is an example of what I was hoping to find:

The screen shot is in Re: to active directory, but it has the general
'look' I'm trying to find.



Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.



Thanks,

Subject: mod_authz_LDAP nagios CGI authentication
Message-ID: <003101c522b3$1c5e2730$640fa8c0@rndbpo1>

I have a question regarding CGI authentication in Nagios. On RedHat
Apache is configured with mod_authz_ldap. Users authenticate to Apache
against the LDAP server and Apache returns the authenticated user's
name. The returned value is the user's DN in the form of
cn=username,o=context . How can I enter this into the cgi.cfg file for
the username ?

The documented format is
authorized_for_all_service_commands=<user1>,<user2>

How can I enclose the username 'cn=username,o=context'  for the value of
<user1> ? I've already tried enclosing it in quotes.

Thanks, 


PS. if someone on the list knows how to make mod_authz_ldap only return
the users cn or uid, that would also solve this for me.

Subject: What if I don't want nagios to check the service but only display them in web interface?
Message-ID: <4602.202.90.128.28.1110197992.squirrel@mail.pregi.net>

  I have a few questions regarding nagios. I'm currently monitoring 21
  servers at work. Some of these servers contains services which are not really meant for serving or are restricted to certain
 machines.Examples are services which are blocked by firewalls that are
 impossible for nagios to check. My goal is to show all of the services
 running in every server in nagios web interface but without having nagios
 to check those services that are not really meant for public use, or say,
 do not display their critical status, last check, duration, attemp. My plan is to just put some comments on those machines why those services
 are not being check etc. Also, I want to display those services which
 doesn't have available plugins to check them in web interface,but like the above, without having nagios to check them or display a red
critical status which will just confuse the viewer with their status etc.
Any suggestions?

BTW, I used nmap -sF to forcely discover those services.



Some of the services without plugins to check them with their ports are:

auth -> 113
netbios-ssn -> 139
zebra -> 2601
ospfd -> 2604
squid-http -> 3128
netview-aix-1 -> 1661
bgp -> 179
bgpd -> 2605
daytime -> 13
time -> 37
rpcbind -> 111
ipp -> 631
https -> 443
postgresql -> cannot obtain an account to database admins
mysql -> cannot obtain an account to database admins

If you know any plug-in that can be used to check the health of the above
services, kindly include it also here. I currently use only check_tcp on
their particular ports to check if the daemons are still listening but not knowing the health of those daemons.


That's all for now.
Thank you very much.

If nnap can see them from the Nagios machine then Nagios can see
it as well. You can also install the plugins on the actual
machines and use NRPE to get to them, so the only firewall port
open is NRPE from your monitoring machine.

Another option is to use NSCA to have the firewalled machines
periodically send a report in to Nagios.

Otherwise, I don't really understand why you would want Nagios
to display services that can't be checked.

I think check_http could be used or check_tcp using it's send
string / expect string syntax.

Check to see if any of these present any sort of banneri on
connect.  Check_tcp can be configured to expect some string
(such as timezone or other constant) to verify functionality. It
doesn't necessairily exercise it according to RFC but it should
work most of the time.

check_http can talk to https servers if openssl is present when
the plugin is compiled.

Subject: Conection refused at NRPE
Message-ID: <6639BA20B265594590E97DD72A8EE0350BDB2F@exosw.osw.ori.local>

Hi 
I have a problem with Connetion refused between Nagios NRPE client at
Linux and Nagios NRPE_NT daemon at Windows. I have a personal plugin in
Perl wich makes some tasks on the Windows machine. But it doesn't matter
cause it works. Problem is between cliet and daemon. Sometimes Nagios
client notify about Connection refused. There's nothing in Nagios daemon
logs about starting connection from client at that moment. It means
client don't "reach" of daemon's port at the Windows at that time. 
Both machines are in the same network segment, both are dedicated to do
this role. I'm using NRPE_NT - 0.7.f
I tried to change port but without success?
Where should be the problem ?
Thnks a lot for advices
Pet

Subject: Checking more frequently when in non-OK state
Message-ID: <422C27B1.9050905@sers.ox.ac.uk>

I have a webserver that I need to monitor, but its webmaster doesn't
want it to be checked more than once an hour.  I want to configure
Nagios so that checks are run once an hour when it's in an OK state,
but once every 60 seconds when it's not OK.

I've read the documentation about normal_check_interval and
retry_check_interval, but I think what I want is something slightly
different:  I still want the alert sent as soon as a non-OK state is
detected, but if I set max_check_attempts to 1 then retry_check_interval
never gets used.

Is there another way around this?

Thanks
- Ian

No. The max_check_attempts is meant to be used to suppress notifications 
when there are temporary glitches in the network. It won't matter much 
anyway, since you'll at most have a notification delay of 
default_check_interval anyway (if the webserver goes down the second 
after nagios has checked it it will be an hour before you receive a 
notification).

OTOH, if the webserver is so fragile it can't stand checking once every 
three or five minutes, you might want to look at replacing it. If it's 
so non-critical it doesn't matter if its down for an hour or so you 
might not want to check it at all.

You need to setup ssh and sshd to use pre-shared keys. man ssh and man 
sshd will help you a lot.

this should help.

I'm not sure I understand what you want... you want services be shown in 
the web interface but no checks being run?

Use the check_dummy plugin.

Or try to explain your problem once mor :-)

Many of these services can be checked... basically, everything reachable 
can be minimally checked. Example: ipp, https and squid can all be 
cheched using check_http, netbios-ssn sounds like smb to me, check_tcp 
can et least verify that some daemon is running at any port, and 
everything with a banner line on connect can have that checked as well.

Hope that hekps

This check_ping is very strange. How could it be so dumb that a small
difference in output could blow up the entire plugin program. It's not
robust enogth to deal with simple changes. Since check_ping is the
most important plugin in Nagios (all other plugins depends on
check-host-alive) I think that It should deserve more attention from
the developers.

I stopped using check_ping and started using check_icmp, which, until
now, didn't suffered from this side effect.

It has. check_icmp is the designated replacement, but as you pointed out 
it is the most important plugin and therefore requires quite a bit of 
testing before check_ping can be done away with (why check_ping was 
written to parse output in the first place is more than I can 
understand, considering the ICMP protocol is pretty well documented).

Do you mean check_icmp isn't working now, or do you mean it's still 
working? Being the original author, I'm fairly interested in any 
problems with it.

Subject: How to visualize status map
Message-ID: <aec066bc050307035221c9830a@mail.gmail.com>

I have worked with Nagios version 1.2, and now I have migrated to
Nagios 2.0b2 and I have a little problem.
I can?t visualize the status map of the network monitorized. When I
click the menu, the page doesn't work...

Is there any directive that indicates how to see this map or permit it
to visualize?

With Nagios 1.2 I have no problems with this, but now... it doesn`t work...

I had the same problem (with embedded Perl interpreter)
Enclose the check_log2.pl in a shell command file and use this command file as plugin
# 'check_warn_log' command definition
define command{
          command_name    check_warn_log
#       command_line    $USER1$/check_log2.pl -l /var/log/warn -s /tmp/warn.seek -p $ARG1$
          command_line    $USER1$/debug_plugin.sh -l /var/log/warn -s /tmp/warn.seek -p $ARG1$
          }


---- debug_plugin.sh ----
#!/bin/bash
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_log2.pl $*
exit $?

hi list,

I want to monitor our firewall "iptables" machine via nagios,  as  far  
I know there is no plugin for this purpose .?
or may I only check whether host is alive or not ..if I want to do this 
what should I do

1) define entries in hosts.cfg
2) may I have to define something for this host in services.cfg ? (coz 
im only interested in host "alive" status)

Im new to nagios, therefore im asking too much :)
There are lot of plugins in /libexec directory for whom there is no 
entry in etc/checkcommands.cfg file e,g check_nagios. Now if I want to 
use this plugin may I have to add an entry in etc/checkcommands.cfg file
or
I just can use it in services.cfg file "check_command   check_nagios"?

Askar,

If the command is not defined in the checkcommands.cfg file, you will
have to add a definition for it before you can use it.

You'll need at least one service on the host as well. The most common 
way is to add a PING service with some moderately nice values so that 
you can get warnings in case the firewall is under heavy load (and takes 
time to respond to ICMP), and add a host-check using the same command 
but higher threshold values so you only get notified when the host is 
really down. Make sure you add your ACCEPT for icmp from the nagios 
server at the bottom of the list, so you get a warning early when the 
load is high.

Subject: [Nagios-users] What if I don't want nagios to check the service but only display them in web interface?

  I have a few questions regarding nagios. I'm currently monitoring 21
  servers at work. Some of these servers contains services which are not really meant for serving or are restricted to certain
 machines.Examples are services which are blocked by firewalls that are
 impossible for nagios to check. My goal is to show all of the services
 running in every server in nagios web interface but without having nagios
 to check those services that are not really meant for public use, or say,
 do not display their critical status, last check, duration, attemp. My plan is to just put some comments on those machines why those services
 are not being check etc. Also, I want to display those services which
 doesn't have available plugins to check them in web interface,but like the above, without having nagios to check them or display a red
critical status which will just confuse the viewer with their status etc.
Any suggestions?

BTW, I used nmap -sF to forcely discover those services.



Some of the services without plugins to check them with their ports are:

auth -> 113
netbios-ssn -> 139
zebra -> 2601
ospfd -> 2604
squid-http -> 3128
netview-aix-1 -> 1661
bgp -> 179
bgpd -> 2605
daytime -> 13
time -> 37
rpcbind -> 111
ipp -> 631
https -> 443
postgresql -> cannot obtain an account to database admins
mysql -> cannot obtain an account to database admins

If you know any plug-in that can be used to check the health of the above
services, kindly include it also here. I currently use only check_tcp on
their particular ports to check if the daemons are still listening but not knowing the health of those daemons.


That's all for now.
Thank you very much.

Subject: host check critical, even though host came back up..?
Message-ID: <A67187C9441FF841AC47CB017C5C84313C7AA4@ace-mail.ace.com>

Hi all,

 

I'm running Nagios 2.0b1 (I know, upgrade, blah) on Debian Woody (self-compiled, as the Debian package is still in 1.x), and I'm experiencing a bit of an annoying problem.  I had a server go down this weekend, and unfortunately, the two people who get notified about it were both indisposed.  The server came back up on its own a few hours later, but the Host Check (check_icmp) kept showing as critical.  So this morning when I got in to work, I had a few hundred critical host warnings for a server that was clearly operational.  After acknowledging the problem, then forcing a re-check manually, it game back green.

 

Any ideas why the Host Check kept failing, even though the server was up?

I looked around and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere but RSS as a reporting
mechanism might be sorta useful. When I am on my laptop at home I often don't
have a browser window with nagios open or a mail client open but I'll have an
RSS client going. Maybe I am the only one and it'll never get used though ...
just an idea. I'd "write a patch" if I thought I could, btw.

thanks for a wonderful product nagios team,
brian

You don't have to write a patch. Just a notification script. It should 
be fairly simple, really.

Did you try running the hostcheck manually? If so, what did it return? 
If it worked out ok, you've found a bug in nagios and should try 
upgrading to get rid of it.

oh really? I honestly didn't look into notification stuff, the plugin API is
simple as hell though, I'll have a go at this when I have some free time this
week.

thanks for the info.

Running the host-check manually?  If you mean running the check from the command-line, then yes, I did.  It worked fine from the CLI.  I guess I'll try upgrading to 2.0b2, and see if it continues to be a problem.

Could there be another factor at play though, I wonder?

That's what I meant, yes. I'm glad to hear it worked alright.

Perhaps. I'll hack a bit on enabling debug output to a logfile in nagios 
that can properly print necessary output. I've got a feeling I'll need 
it sooner or later anyway.

Make sure you download gd library from http://www.boutell.com/gd/ 

I believe that statusmap.cgi needs this library to display the maps.

I have a funky problem.  For some reason I get nagios reporting that
the hosts and services are down when I use the "/etc/rc.d/nagios
-reload"  Right after reloading, everything checks out fine for a few
minutes.  Then everything goes critical.  Has anyone else noticed this
in Version 2.0b2???

I have to use "/etc/rc.d/nagios -restart" instead.  And this solves
that problem.

I compiled and installed Nagios from Mandrake RPMS. Nagios is running.
But when I click on any of the menu entries on the left, I get "Could not
read object configuration data!"
What does this mean?
I've looked at the suggestions after the error message, but they don't seem
to be related to the problem.

Have you verified that all of your configuration files are correct?

It sounds to me like you installed the RPM and started the service
without doing any configuration.

Subject: check_log2.pl gives  no output
Message-ID: <20050307164729.4179.qmail@webmail9.rediffmail.com>

Hi,
   I am trying to make ssh work without password so as i can use check_by_ssh further

So for this what i have done is:

1.)
ssh-keygen -t rsa1
ssh-keygen -t dsa
ssh-keygen -t rsa

2.)
Copied the files generated into 
~/.ssh on remote machine

The content of ~/.ssh/identity.pub on the local machine goes in the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machines. 

The content of the ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub on the local machine goes in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machines. 

Likewise, the content of the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on the local machine is appended to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machines

3.)
Priming the agent:
ssh_info_file=~/.ssh-agent-info-`hostname`
ssh-agent >$ssh_info_file
chmod 600 $ssh_info_file
source $ssh_info_file
ssh-add ~/.ssh/identity
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_dsa
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

4.)
Attaching the agent:

. ~/.ssh-agent-info-`hostname`

After doing all this when i try to ssh from nagios server m/c to client m/c where i ahve copied the keys
still it asks for an password.

What may be missing in this .
Plz suggest.

Thanks.
Vivek.

Subject: How to visualize status map
Message-ID: <2579c6b2050307084528fdb628@mail.gmail.com>

On my server, I have the gd library installed but I cannot see a
background image on the status map.  My server icons work fine, but no
background.  I have posted this twice before and never gotten any
response.  Is there anyone out there who uses a background image?

Solaris 8 (sparc), Nagios 1.2

------------------------------------
Make sure you download gd library from http://www.boutell.com/gd/ 

I believe that statusmap.cgi needs this library to display the maps.

Looks like a rights issue.  Try going back through the install docs and
make sure you have the correct permissions on folders/files.

I compiled and installed Nagios from Mandrake RPMS. Nagios is running.
But when I click on any of the menu entries on the left, I get "Could
not
read object configuration data!"
What does this mean?
I've looked at the suggestions after the error message, but they don't
seem
to be related to the problem.

To add a definition:  run ./check_nagios --help on the command line. 
Make a check command by adhering to the ones under checkcommands.cfg

It has to do with some fairly wonky thread management. Just do the

I have installed Nagios v1.2 on slackware 10, and have got to the stage
where I can see Nagios Menu
But cannot get any information from hosts I am monitoring. The process runs
as I get a PID number.

The error I get is 

Not Found
The requested URL /opt/nagios/cgi-bin/tac.cgi was not found on this server

Thanks in advance,

Yatindra

Did you set up the ScriptAlias as documented at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/installweb.html? If so, it looks
like you might have it wrong. I won't speculate on what it should look
like because there isn't enough information above but enough to indicate
that it's probably not a standard install. We'd need to know the file
system path to the nagios sbin directory as well as the value of
--with-cgiurl as passed to configure if you changed it.

Right. But neither the first, second or any other sentence in the related
documentation reads "when a host is scheduled for downtime, notifications
for all services on that host are suppressed".  apparently you
misunderstood what i was asking.

Look at how your current notifications are being sent. If you can't 
figure it out based on that, I really don't think you should try it.

Make your host/service-notify-by-email command also create or modify a
properly formatted RSS XML document with the information you want about
the alert. This XML document should of course be accessible via the web
by your RSS reader. Google returns many hits on "how to create rss

One of them is enough. dsa is the recommended nowadays.

Not all of them I hope. Only the .pub-files are required.

Did you chmod 700 ~/.ssh on both hosts?
Did you chmod 600 ~/.ssh/* on both hosts?

This is really only necessary if you've chosen a passphrase for the 
keys, which you don't have to. If you ever decide to reboot your nagios 
server you'll have to log in and restart the agent once more.

tail -f /var/log/messages
on the remote host while trying a login from the nagios server.
If that fails, fire up a second instance of sshd with -vv (or was it 
-dd?) on a different port and try to connect to that using the key. The 
server will tell you what authentication methods it's trying, and why it 
doesn't succeed if it doesn't.

In case you don't see any pubkey authentication attempts, you might have 
to fix your /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the nagios server, or 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote host.

This is a new install.  I am a nagios newbie. details:nagios 1.2; RH FC3; all default file locations; authentication turned on.

I am recieving "Internal Server Error" when selecting any of the menu items making cgi calls.  The apache  log shows:

That's an selinux error. You need to allow httpd to execute programs in
that directory.

Subject: host downtime and service notifications
Message-ID: <A67187C9441FF841AC47CB017C5C84313C7AAA@ace-mail.ace.com>

You asked, "When a host is scheduled for downtime are alerts for services on that host automatically suppressed?"

I quoted, "When a host a service is in a period of scheduled downtime, notifications for that host or service will be suppressed."

Granted, the poor grammar used in the documentation lends a sense of ambiguity, but it does, in fact, answer your question.  When you put a host into scheduled downtime, no alerts will be generated related to that host - services included - for the duration of the downtime.  The whole idea of scheduled downtime would be moot if alerts were still generated during that time.

Right. But neither the first, second or any other sentence in the related
documentation reads "when a host is scheduled for downtime, notifications
for all services on that host are suppressed".  apparently you
misunderstood what i was asking.

The third sentence of the related documentation reads:

"When a host a service is in a period of scheduled downtime, notifications
for that host or service will be suppressed."

I already have something working, sorta, after just working on it a little bit
here and there today. I'll let the world know when I have something I think is
decent enough to use beyond my own machines.

Peeps,

    Might be that I'm dense, and just can't find the information in the
documentation, but where does nagios store the host/service state
information at? In the nagios.log or nagios.sav file? If so, how are these
updated? Is it a ongoing thing, where there'll be an entry for the
host/service DOWN, and another entry later on for host/sevice UP?

Does anyone have a clue?

status.log contains current status info for services and hosts

nagios.log contains timestamped logs for history/stats generation

nagios.sav is used betwen reboots if enabled...

did you restart everything?

You might also consider recompiling, just to make sure there are no bad
references.

Message-ID: <706C33200E04994E9BB6EE3E21E4C15EE06EEC@ACHS-E2K01.achs.cl>

Help Nagios List,

I need to have log file of nagios (/etc/nagios/nagios.log) with date and hour...
actualy, i can see the following:
For example:
[1096384167] SERVICE ALERT: mailsweeper;PING;OK;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 1.73 ms
[1096384167] SERVICE ALERT: fw1;PING;OK;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 1.54 ms
[1096385027] SERVICE ALERT: achs-tam01;PING;WARNING;SOFT;1;PING WARNING - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 368.90 ms
....etc

Logically i can see the date/hour.. in the nagios page, for example:
[07-03-2005 16:57:50] SERVICE ALERT: Sitios_Web_Internet;PING;OK;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 3.53 ms
[07-03-2005 16:56:50] SERVICE ALERT: Sitios_Web_Internet;PING;WARNING;SOFT;1;PING WARNING - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 120.87 ms
[07-03-2005 16:53:50] SERVICE ALERT: Antivirus_Webshield;PING;OK;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet 
..etc

But I need to send this data to database for analysis, for that I need the archive.
Could you help me, please?

Thak you list,
Julio Sandoval Sch.

Hi

I have setup nagiosgraph. it creates the rrd files. but does not show the graph
Nor does it show anything in /var/log/nagiosgraph.log.

On the services  defined in service detail i have a small graph icon..
when i click the icon it opens service state information but no graph.

Thanks 
Vinod

Subject: nagios missing valid updates from nsca
Message-ID: <004b01c5235c$b5499930$3201280a@unknown>

We are in the process of switching from full active checks, to mostly
passive checks.

I've so far converted 129 services checks for 19 hosts.

But I've already got concerns.  Occasionally all passive checks for any one
or more of the hosts we have switched, fails the freshness threshold.
 
I've set NC_Net client to send every 5 minutes, and set the freshness
threshold to 6 minutes.  I've confirmed that NSCA has received the results
by turning on debug and seeing the results show up in the syslog.  But
Nagios acts like it never got the result, and I see the freshness check
warnings in the Nagios event log.  I can't seem to find any pattern to the
missing checks, but when it does miss... it seems to miss all the checks
from that host all together.

12:11 - missed all 7 passive check from one host.
12:16 - missed all 7 passive checks from two separate hosts
12:21 - all 7 passive check from one host.
12:40 - all 7 passive check from one host.
12:41 - all 7 passive check from one host.

In all the above examples... each failure was a different host, and all were
found in syslog as NSCA received them fine.

Notables from the NSCA config file:
aggregrate_write=1  tried both... neither seem to affect it
append_to_file=0    the notes on this one, make me not want to mess with it
max_packet_age=240  
   I hope that if this is the culprit, that it would warn you in the syslog

Notables from nagios.cfg file:
command_check_interval=-1

I not sure if anything else in the Nagios config is relevant to passive
check processing (with the exception of all the other settings that wouldn't
make passive checks work at all)

What should I check here folks?

p.s. note that the finished conversion should more than double the amount of
passive checks being processed every 5 minutes.  So if there is anything
else I should be looking out for, in regards to capacity.  Let me know.

I don't use freshness checking but FWIW, I'm processing 2750+ passive
checks every 5 minutes here with room to spare. As far as I can tell the
only difference is I don't aggregate_write's with nsca. Is nagios busy
doing other things, specifically active host checks on downed hosts?
Also are there any hardware problems on your central machine? I had a
bad raid controller once that appeared to be working but resulted in
long delays in processing the passive results. Once I replaced it
everything improved dramatically.

You should take this to the nagiosgraph forum it's a good one and you'll
most likely get your answer faster

Peeps,

OK, so I've been hacking on this just to see, thinking that an RSS feed
might be pretty useful..

And what I've come up with isn't pretty, to say the least. It's slow.. But
for those of you who want to hack on this, maybe improve it, go for it...

This little _PHP_ app parses the nagios.log file, and reports on all
services that are _not_ in a status of UP or OK. I'm sure there's a perl
module out there that can do it, but for some reason, I can't write perl to
save my life. :)

Tack on ?oktoo=true to the URL, and it'll report on all services (not
recommended, we have over 800 services, which means we have over 800 RSS
items, and that's a horrible thing to do to your reader!)

Edit the config.php file and set the following:
    
    $nagios['status_file']
        This needs to be the full path to the status.log file Nagios spits
out (e.g. /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log)
    
    $nagios['myurl']
        This is the full http:// address to the nagios web interface.
        e.g. http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/

    $nagios['statcgi']
        This is the full http:// address to the nagios status.cgi script
        e.g. http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi

    $nagios['extinfo]
        This is the full http:// address to the nagios extinfo.cgi script
        e.g. http://nagios.mydomain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi

Just drop this into the Nagios cgi-bin/ directory. Note this is a giant,
ugly HACK that I put together, no warranties express or implied, blah blah
blah, may break systems, cause floods and other major disasters, blah blah..
No support, you know the drill.

    Hack it up as needed. It ought to give someone a start at least... Oh,
and I wrote this to work with 1.2, not 2.x, since I don't have a 2.x status
file to work with. Sorry, no support for DB's, though it could be done (and
would probably be faster).

    -Jeff

I started hacking around with this today... I modified the
misccommands.cfg file to have two new methods, notify-by-RSS and
host-notify-by-RSS which call a perl script which uses XML:RSS to write
to a .rdf file.

Works pretty well, if anyone's interested, let me know and I can put it
up somewhere.

Would it be worth it to try to take say the statuswml.c and rework the 
output to generate
the XML needed for an RSS client?

Quoting "Ginther, Demian M" <demian.m.ginther at boeing.com>:

looks like 3 of us have been hacking and came up with 3 different kind of
solutions! viva tmtowtdi!

my hack:

miscommands.cfg

define command{
    command_name    notify-by-rss
    command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-rss.sh "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$"
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$DATETIME$"
"$OUTPUT$"
    }

the script:

#!/bin/sh

RSSFILE="/var/www/html/rss.xml"
DESC="alerts for
NAGURL="http://whatever"

NOTIFICATIONTYPE=$1
SERVICEDESC=$2
HOSTALIAS=$3
HOSTADDRESS=$4
SERVICESTATE=$5
DATETIME=$6
OUTPUT=$7-
echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>" >$RSSFILE
echo "<rss version='2.0'>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<channel>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<title>nagios alert</title>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<link>$NAGURL</link>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<description>$DESC</description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<lastBuildDate>$DATETIME</lastBuildDate>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<generator>nagios notify script</generator>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<item>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<guid isPermaLink='true'>$NAGURL</guid>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<pubDate>$DATETIME</pubDate>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<title>$NOTIFICATIONTYPE alert on $HOSTALIAS for service
$SERVICEDESC</title>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo -e "\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE\nService: $SERVICEDESC\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS\nState: $SERVICESTATE\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME\nAdditional Info:\n$OUTPUT" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</item>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</channel></rss>" >>$RSSFILE
exit 0

Obviously it'll only report the latest alert, not the best solution. Had to
niggle with group ownerships (added nagios to apache group, chmod g+w the write
directory)

blah someone write a complete clean solution :)

Subject: FAQ ? How does one schedule downtime for all services in a hostgroup or a set of hosts ?
In-Reply-To: <20050307220830.CF99A12444@sc8-sf-spam2.sourceforge.net>

Dear Folks,

If this is an FAQ, please say in which FM I should read, or roughly 
where in the archives I could look; otherwise 

How does one schedule downtime for all services on a collection of 
hosts (say all the hosts in a hostgroup) through the CGIs ?

One may wish to do this, for example, if all the hosts used SAN or NAS 
storage for their data/applications and the 'single point of failure' 
SAN or NAS was scheduled for maintenance or upgrade.

Other than a script to 

. parse the config files and extract all the services for the hosts in 
the collection

. for each service 
     submit a scheduled service downtime command

Is there any other way of doing this (preferably though the CGIs) that I 
have missed ?

Is this the reason for defining service groups (in Nag 2.x) ?

Yours sincerely.

Hi Stanley,

Did you click on the hostgroup name from "Status Overview".  The actual name
is the one in the parenthesis ().  You should get a menu including an item
"Schedule downtime for all services in this hostgroup".

Cheers,

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for a reply to what is now a stupid question. 
I beg your pardon.

Is there any way of using the CGIs (in the same way as you have 
described) to schedule downtime for all services on an arbitrary subset 
of hosts ?

It seems that the extinfo CGI does not have an option to 'schedule 
downtime for all services on this host', although there are links to 
'disable notifications for all services on this host'.

Unless the hosts that are subject to 'service downtime' are in a 
hostgroup, scheduling downtime for all the services seems only possible 
through ad-hoc methods.

Would a (presumably new) CGI option to 'schedule downtime for all 
services on this host' be useful ?

Would a new CGI to allow selection of a set of hosts to schedule 
downtime on all their services be useful ?

An extra CGI may be most easily do-able as an add-on.

Message-ID: <422D6E35.7070506@frankfurter-verein.de>

Hi,

I`ve the following problem:

../libexec/check_ping -w 200.0,20% -c 500.0,60% www.fvsh.de
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 17.07 ms

But the CGI`s show this:

Host Status:	 UNREACHABLE
Status Information:	/bin/ping -n -U -c 1 www.fvsh.de

And trying the above from commandline returns this:
[root at helios etc]# /bin/ping -n -U -c 1 www.fvsh.de
PING www.fvsh.de (212.227.42.84) 56(84) bytes of data.

System: nagios 1.2, plugins 1.4 , OS: Fedora Core 3


I found some posts on the net describing exactly this problem, however 
none of the posters ever got a reply.

Thanks for help!

Dirk,

have you tried running ping (or the plugin) as user nagios or as root?

Probably it's an access rights problem... IIRC Fedora activates selinux 
enhancements and thus it might be necessary to change these to allow the 
nagios user access to the network interface.

The gain would be microscopic. Granted, C runs faster, but PHP runs as a 
module and saves on load time. It's more stable and does automatic 
output buffering to save up on small transmissions, which C cgi's doesn't.

The gain would be microscopic. Granted, C runs faster, but PHP runs as a module and saves on load time. It's more stable and does automatic output buffering to save up on small transmissions, which C cgi's doesn't.

Subject: using ssh without password
Message-ID: <20050308111318.4833.qmail@webmail8.rediffmail.com>

Hi all,
      I am trying make ssh work without password so as to use push_ssh in nagios .for this

I have done the following things:
1.)On nagios host :
ssh-keygen -t rsa

no passphrase entered

2.)created a .ssh dir. in the client host with 600 permissions
  In this host created file by vi editor 
    vi authorizedkeys2
and pasted the contents of id_rsa.pub file from nagios host

3.)then if i try to do ssh from nagios host to the client host still it asks for a password.

Dont know whats wrong now..
Plz suggest

Thanks 
Vivek

Generate a public/private key pair on nagios host:
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f .ssh/id_dsa

This produces two files, id_dsa and id_dsa.pub, the latter being the
public key.
Copy the public key to client: scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub <client>:~/.ssh/
Go to client and add the public key to the authorized keys file (make
sure that its the only line for nagios host).
cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2

think that should do the trick

You should check the system-wide ssh and sshd configurations.
If you are not the administrator of the server you want to log into, ask 
them how to setup ssh to work without passphrase.
Verify that the file names for authorized keys are correct.
You should run ssh with the -v switch, then it tells you what it does, 
including which keys it uses and what the server thinks about those.
You should have a look at the server's logfile.
You can also run the server with debug output.

Subject: Dual call to NEB callback functions. (help)
Message-ID: <422D92B8.8050003@virtualhaze.org>

Hi list,

I have been experimenting with writing an RRD based NEB module for our 
Nagios2 clusters. Everything seemed to be going fine until I noticed a 
number of extra calls to the NEB callback functions. In an effort to 
track down the problem I have striped my Nagios config files and the NEB 
module down to their bare minimum. (See attached if you are interested).

The problem seems to be that even though I only register the function 
once with 'neb_register_callback' it gets run twice for each service in 
an 'interval_length'. I have tried this with both the cvs snapshot and 
the 2.0b2 tar balls.

If someone enlightened in the ways of NEB modules has 5mins spare and 
could have a look at the code/config and tell me if I am at fault, more 
than likely, or if I have stumbled upon a bug.

Thanks

Haze

Subject: Nagios in cluster/failover?
Message-ID: <s22da62d.081@vangenechten.com>

Is it possible to run nagios in a sort of cluster? We currently rely on
nagios as our service watchdog system.  If anything goes wrong, it
notifies us.  Yet if the nagios server itself would crash, then we

did you restart everything?

You might also consider recompiling, just to make sure there are no
bad
references.

You need to discard "about-to-run" messages, like so;
int *type = (int *)data;
if(*type != NEBTYPE_SERVICECHECK_PROCESSSED) return;

For host check results, you can do exactly the same, but match against 
NEBTYPE_HOSTCHECK_PROCESSED.

In the current NEB API, the *_PROCESSED checks can be masked off using 
0x02, so you should be able to generalize with

if(!(*type & 0x02)) return;

although this might possibly change in the future and currently only 
holds true for check-events (NEBTYPE_DOWNTIME_START is 1103, f.e., which 
ofcourse masks true but still isn't a check-event).

No bugs. Just the results of the lack of documentation (and a certain 
laziness in reading the header files).

I'm working on a cluster/failover/distributed-checks NEB-module for 
nagios. If you want to spur development to new heights, you might want 
to consider paying for it.

If not, you can achieve some crude functionality with a second nagios 
setup that only monitors the main server.

Do you want to run your checks as root or as nagios user?

I'll point you to some output below:

Probably you allowed the nagios users keys?

You can edit a script with these lines:
if [ $# == 0 ]
then
        printf "Error. Uso: verlog logfile\n"
        exit 1

fi

perl -ane '$F[0] =~ /(\d+)/ && print
localtime($1) . " @F[1..$#F]\n" ' $1


And then execute:

There is no such thing as a hostgroupescalation definition. Just use
the hostgroup_name directive in a hostescalation definition.

Subject: check_ping
Message-ID: <422DB273.30300@beaconet.net>

hi list,

   Im just checking my firewall "iptables" machine whether is alive or not

what I did hard coded ping argument in checkcommand.cfg

# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_ping
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 500,20% 
-c 1000,50% -p 5
        }

then called it in services.cfg "check_command  check_ping".
Okay my question is ,
1) is this correct way to check the status of host?
2) Is it good to hard coding values in checkcommand.cfg ?

regards

We use 1.2 in distributed clusters with one-way failover. Primary master
listens to slaves results via NSCA, secondary (failover) master runs a
standalone nagios instance monitoring the primary master (nagios, nsca,
host, + anything else) using an event handler to process the failover.
During failover the secondary master rebuilds configs for itself and the
slaves, pushes these out and restarts remote and local instances.

Subject: Escalation sanity check
Message-ID: <cee4142605030806077007d852@mail.gmail.com>

ok...

I just want to run this past the list to see if my logic is making
sense.  (This is Nagios 1.2 btw)

I've configured our setup to alert appropriate contact groups on host
outages at 60 minute intervals.

With that in mind, if someone doesn't acknowledge the alert within 60
minutes, I want it to be escalated to the group manager.  So I defined
the following escalations:

define hostgroupescalation {
        hostgroup_name         
hpux-servers,solaris-servers,linux-servers,vms-servers
        first_notification      2
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   60
        contact_groups          unix-admins,management
        }


define hostgroupescalation {
        hostgroup_name          win-servers
        first_notification      2
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   60
        contact_groups          win-admins,management
        }

So am I correct in my thinking that at the second notification (after
the first 60 minutes has passed), that the management will be notified
(in addition to the responsible group of course).

Thanks.

Aaron

Subject: Automatic scheduled downtime from Microsoft host?
Message-ID: <Pine.BSO.4.62.0503081618080.17800@boogey.rootshell.be>

Hi *,

It's not a question related directly to Nagios but... maybe one of you
has a solution.

We have several Microsoft hosts (XP, 2K, NT(!) ) and I would like to
schedule a downtime at server reboot or shutdown.

If can schedule downtime via a SSH session to the Nagios server.
But... How can I automatically start a script during the reboot or
shutdown phase? 

Any idea?
Maybe use a special service which will be started @ boot time and
which start the script @ stop time?

Regards,
Xavier

DISK OK - free space: / 55162 MB (83%);| /=11045MB;62896;64220;0;66207

What is the format used by check_disk and the others?  I have looked for 
it for half a day and couldn't find it.  I'm sure its somewhere easy to 
find.

You're looking at it. UOM is only mentioned in the "actual-value" 
section of the perfparse output.

Subject: CGI's fail with too much object conf data?
Message-ID: <422DD090.4000605@theriver.com>

Hello all,

I am in the middle of a massive Nagios implementation and I am running 
into an ugly problem.

It seems that whenever my object config cache grows over 5 meg or so, 
the web ui stops working. I got the "Whoops!" error you receive when 
nagios is not running, despite the fact that it clearly is running. I've 
experimented, and it doesn't seem to be any one file that causes the 
problem. The machine is not IO, mem, or proc bound. I do get load 
averages of 6-7 sometimes while Nagios waits on the many many snmp 
checks I have enabled.

Is anyone aware of this? Is there some tweak I can do to stop this from 
ocurring?

~Ben

The web UI is known to scale poorly. I haven't seen that
particular issue, but at larger scales the CGI's don't response
fast enough to be useful.

If you are using 2.0 you can use the nagios-db addon to decrease
response time.

Hi all,

I am running two nagios servers in two different locations and everyone 
of them is monitoring about 100 hosts with at least 1000 services. 
Recently I activated the OCSP on both of them to have all the results on 
both servers.
Unfortunately I ran into a problem. All service checks that are obsessed 
run one at a time. Because of this the performance of service checks 
under 5 minutes dropped to nearly 30% compared to 95%.This is a problem 
for me because many services issue timeouts and graphs generated by 
nagiostat are blank because the RRD needs the performance data in less 
than 5 minutes.
Is there any solution to make nagios check the services concurently? 
Because the max_concurrent_checks has no influence over this....

Best regards,
Gabriel Constantinescu.

Hm well, you didn't say you are using 1.x
I haven't used it for ages and honestly I can't recall how it was back in 
the days.

My solution at least works for 2.x ;-)
Just try it, maybe it works for 1.x too, not sure and I don't have an 
installation
to test it currently.

Subject: Nagios and helpdesk integration
Message-ID: <DA1ACD79F7FA4B44BE47CBA3AA693E690AD6FEBE@kfmail02.jeld-wen.com>

I have partial integration with my company's internal ticketing system.  I
did this with some procmail scripts and escalations.  We pretty much just
monitor our routers and switches so I don't monitor many services but rely
on host notifications.  When a host fails, I do an immediate escalation
which sends a single email to our ticketing system.  I use the escalation
feature so that I can keep the logic for opening a ticket separate from the
regular notifications and in this way, don't end up with a ticket for every
normal notification.  The email also contains some additional info about a
host pulled from our db when the email is generated.  Our ticketing system
then replies back via email to the nagios box saying that it opened a
ticket.  A procmail script then parses the info from the email and puts a
comment in for that host.  I can see a record of every ticket that was
opened for a given host for what ever period of time I decide to leave the
comments there.

More than that, I have some procmail scripts that will allow me to
acknowledge a host problem from email or a text message by sending a
specifically formated message.  This is nice if I am remote.  My alerts from
nagaios all do a db query before sending the notification.  This query
contains all the important info that might be required to open a third party
ticket (Like for a circuit outage).  Basically from a text enabled cell
phone I can manage about 80% of all outages through automation.

Hope this gives you some ideas on how to integrate nagios into your
helpdesk.

Subject: check_jabber plugin help
Message-ID: <cfcb649f05030810275190c78e@mail.gmail.com>

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has successfully used the 'check_jabber'
plugin in v1.4.

>From my nagios box command line I type:
./check_jabber -H myhost.whatever -p 5269

And the plugin returns the following error:
CRITICAL - Cannot make  SSL connection 8986:error:140770FC:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:478:

I know check_jabber uses check_tcp.  And check_tcp can check the
jabber server port just fine.  For example at the command line:
./check_tcp -H myhost.whatever -p 5269

This command returns the following:
TCP OK - 0.004 second response time on port 5269
|time=0.004285s;0.000000;0.000000;0.000000;10.000000

So I can get check_tcp to work fine on the jabber server port, but I
can't get check_jabber to work on that port.  I would like to use the
check_jabber plugin, because I'm sure it returns something cool like
"Jabber server is responding.." or something like that.

Any advice from anyone who has check_jabber working??

Thanks,

Subject: Host checks & program status
Message-ID: <20050308183939.GA2706@zippy.toger.us>

Do host checks delay the writing of the status data? I've got a
Nagios instance with about 500 hosts / 5K services. About 35
hosts went offline at the same time, and I started getting
alarms from my backup-Nagios machine that the primary Nagios
status table was not updating fast enough.

I have Nagios set to aggregate status updates and to write them
out every 90 seconds. Check_nagios_db is configured to alarm if
the database isn't updated in 120 seconds. Running the script
manually I saw times in excess of 240 seconds.  I removed the
offending hosts (they were down for good) and the problem went
away, but I am wondering if anyone else has seen this.

The DB writes were taking under three seconds total.

This is Nagios 1.1 on Linux using DB storage of the host and
service status.

(I apologize if this is a dupe post, but I nevet got a copy of
it after I sent it nor has it shown up in the archives over the
last 2 days).

Thanks,

With CGI authorization enabled users can only see hosts and services
that they are authorized contacts for.

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

I can't seem to find where this little nugget is actually stated in the
documentation or the FAQ any longer. The quick synopsis is --

Enable CGI authorization as above. Create a contact for this person. If
they don't need notifications, set the service_notification_options and
host_notification_options to 'n'. Add them to the contact_group for the
host (and possibly as a contact for each service). Create an .htpasswd
user account using the same username as defined in the contact
definition.

That should be it. When they log in to the web interface using their
username and password they should only see those hosts and services that
they are listed as a contact for.

Hi,

I solved this using an option (cant recall which one of the top of my 
head) that strips away the everything but the short username. From the 
header that is given to Nagios thus you only enter the common name and 
nothing else in the nagios configuration file. This is a workaround so 
if your users clash and such it might not be what you want, but as we 
only have a limited userbase that has access to nagios it worked for us.

Yes, Nagios stops _all_ other processing until the status of
questionable hosts has been definitely determined. This is so it can
determine network reachability, dependencies, etc. The idea is that your
host checks should be as simple and finish as quickly as possible (i.e.
a single ping).

I have a much larger installation and personally found host checks not
worth the extra delay so I don't do any, relying on service checks
entirely.

Group policy on a 2k/XP box has startup/shudown script attribute under
the Computer configuration.Windows setting. You can have it run any
type of script out of that directory.

Hope this helps,

It only seems to happen when my object cache scales past 5M. I had a 
relatively rapid response time using a ramdisk for my config and status 
cache- maybe I will play with that some more.

Yes, I am... Unfortunately it looks like there is just one web UI for 
nagios-db, which *severely* limits it's usability in my environment... I 
got it set up and it looks to be working fine, but I need the ability to 
acknowledge outages and perform other commands.

Is there some other UI for nagios-db or some other way to do this? I 
can't believe I am the first or only one to scale nagios up this far.

It should be fairly easy to add that to nagios-db if you have
the interest.

Yeah, I've read the help file many times.  I'm just not positive I am
checking the right port.  I have tried ports 5269, 5232, 5222, and
5223.  The help file is just not descriptive enough.  I was wondering
if anyone has sucessfully executed the 'check_jabber' plugin.  What
flag's do you use, mainly what port does the check_jabber plugin want
to check?

Thanks,

Hi there,

1.
within the sshd_config file there may be a parameter 
"AuthorizedKeysFile" it should be set to ".ssh/authorized_keys"
to allow authorized_keys in your home directory, otherwise you need to 
use the configured file to add pub-keys to.

2.
You may also for more ease create a symlink "ln -s authorized_keys 
authorized_keys2", so you need only to take care
about keys in one place if the systems in question use different styles. 
We found that on some distros authorized_keys
is used regardless of the protocol.

3.
The permissions of the directories/files
$HOME
$HOME/.ssh
$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
need not allow anybody other than the owner to have write permission.

But the last resort when you get no idea is to stop sshd and run "sshd 
-d", if this is a remote machine you should take
care to start the sshd after the session has been ended because in debug 
mode sshd ends after the sessions is terminated.

When using ssh within cron jobs or other automated scripts it is also a 
good idea to use the option "-o 'BatchMode yes'",
so ssh is not prompting for a password, the output is then only 
"permission denied" but no hang at some prompt.

Another hint is not to allow login shells to unprotected keys (without 
password), if your key is compromised this may
limit damage. You can do so by using "command=" directives in the 
authorized_keys file. The disadvantage is that
you can only specify one command per key. The man page for sshd will 
give you more information.

Version 1.4 of the Windows Eventlog -> NSCA filtered and passive alert
generator is now available on http://www.steveshipway.org/software as a
Windows install package.

This should correct an occasional issue with the service exiting after
matching a filter with a long description.  It also adds some extra testing
functionality for the control application NagEvLogCtrl.

Thankyou for your time,

Message-ID: <F7CC1069108AC843A687E857A914A393010E06@schrotty.seaan.net>

Hi

I compiled nagios with --prefix=/usr/local/nagios
--with-cgiurl=/home/nagios/cgi-bin --with-htmurl=/home/nagios.
Apache Server however can't find the cgi scripts. Please see the error
below.
Most likely this is just due to my lack of knowledge how to configure
apache correctly. Nevertheless following the documentation and
changing the parameters needed didn't help much.

Thanks for any help
Regards,
Philipp

That's the error I get for all cgi scripts. The path is wrong. I just
can't figure out how to set it correctly.

Hi all,

i configured nagios and evrything is workig fine. but when i tried to monitor remote hosts in the WAN link...it gives lot of no response errors. and all the processes coming to "unknown" state. iam using snmp to check some process, hard disk..stuff...iam not using NRPE. we have a 128 line.
some times ping process diplayes RTA = 1400...5000 ms . UDP is connectionloess and i think snmp packets are droppping somewhere. sometimes it gives correct out put....with ok states..critical..and real values like hard dik space...memory usage...via snmo..
how do i improve my monitoring process...
hope u guys can help... me to solve this...is there any way to fine tune the nagios polling...?? 
( in my checkcommands i used TIMEOUT value with a high threshold but didnt work......).

thaks in advance

Hi,

we have copy my testperfparse to our big system. Now my boss told me that
the daily log of nagios is missing...

May it happen that this depends on PerfParse???

I've tested this on my own system and it's the same problem, no daily log
but without perfparse is there a log. Onwhat can this depend???

regards

Jessica

Most likely, yes.

By giving udp and icmp a higher priority in your network, or reserving 
about half the bandwidth for your nagios server. This means you'll steal 
bandwidth from users for the monitoring. If that doesn't work or isn't 
acceptable you'll have to upgrade your line.

There's really no help for lack of bandwidth, except to get more. A 
proxy server might help, but only to some extent.

Please don't ask "how do I limit bandwidth" or "how do I set up a proxy 
server" on this list (or privately). Both topics require far more time 
to explain than I have to spare.

What does the web server log file (often something like

Usually it should be in /usr/local/nagios/sbin/. The .../etc directory 
contains the configuration files.

Verify the file permissions, and keep in mind that the cgi files are run 
as the web server user.

I think I understood, so it's good enough :-)

Tharanga,

basically you found out why you want to monitor your network - to detect 
problems.

If you only want to chech the remote hosts, you could also stay away 
from snmp and use nsca for passive monitoring. This, of course, means 
that you need access to the remote host, but monitoring passively and 
setting up a safe (long) freshness_threshold together with an active 
check that generates an error state you should be able to achieve what 
you want.

Limited by a probably insufficient network link, of course.

Hi all,

has anybody already written a plugin to check the status of a
Bacula (www.bacula.org) Backup-system?

thanks,

Yes.

Or rather, I'm just now working on it.

Basic idea:

Use snmp to check the services. Do not connect, because
- I don't want to implement baculas encripton / authentication
- a tcp connect results in an annoying error message in the console or mail
- I don't want client passwords for a security relevant service on a 
monitoring host.

The snmp check verifies - depending on its command line - if director, 
sd and /or fd are running

Done backups are reported by "run after job" scripts. The director 
reports all don jobs via nsca. nagios itself is set up in the "standard" 
passive-only check way to wait for these reports and use the freshness 
checks together with a plugin to give a warning result if a backup ok is 
not received every 30 hours at most.

When I see the whole setup running ok for three days (that would be day 
after tomorrow) I'll post an information to the bacula-lists and here.

Subject: What happens with the status map?
Message-ID: <aec066bc050309032849f6e9cc@mail.gmail.com>

I have worked with Nagios version 1.2, and now I have migrated to
Nagios 2.0b2 and I have a little problem.
I can?t visualize the status map of the network monitorized. When I
click the menu, the page doesn't work...

Is there any directive that indicates how to see this map or permit it
to visualize?

With Nagios 1.2 I have no problems with this, but now... it doesn`t work...

I have download gd library, compile and install.
I have copy the statusmap.cgi in the /nagios/sbin/ directory
I have restart all the services and the whole system, but the result
it's the same

It gives me an internal error like this:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, you at example.com and inform
them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

I don't understand what happen because it's a simple thing...
Can you give me any idea?


Thank you

That's an Apache error.

You need to check the Apache error logs to see what's going wrong in this case.

So, does anyone know if there is a workaround to make nagios have 
concurrent service checks when the ocsp command is active?
As far as I read the documentation does not say anything about...

Thank you,
Gabriel Constantinescu.

Philipp,

since you compiled nagios to with "--with-htmurl=/home/nagios" it would 
look here by default for "/cgi-bin", however you change that behavior 
when you put an  alias for "/" in your apache config.  Now it is looking 
for "/usr/local/nagios/share/home/nagios/cgi-bin/" because you set this 
alias.  This alias is pretty much cancelling out the "--with-htmurl" 
compile time parameter you set.

Unless you are really wanting the setup all over the place like it 
looks, There are a couple of ways to fix your problem:

1.  recompile nagios with the normal settings, since it looks like you 
are just repointing back to the default location
   


ServerName <servername.org>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/nagios/share
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.htm default.htm index.php
Options None

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


2.  setup an apache alias for /home/nagios/cgi-bin

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

You can edit a script with these lines:
if [ $# == 0 ]
then
        printf "Error. Uso: verlog logfile\n"
        exit 1

fi

perl -ane '$F[0] =~ /(\d+)/ && print
localtime($1) . " @F[1..$#F]\n" ' $1


And then execute:

Try making the following changes in bold below. Since your sbin and 
share directories are now under /home/nagios/sbin and /home/nagios/share 
then you'll need to tell Apache that they are there. Hope this helps.

<VirtualHost host.domain.tld:80>
   ServerName host.domain.tld
   DocumentRoot "/home/nagios/"
        <Directory "/home/nagios/">
           AllowOverride None
           Options Indexes
           DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php
        </Directory>
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ */home/nagios/sbin/ *
        <Directory *"/home/nagios/sbin/"*>
           AllowOverride AuthConfig
           Options +ExecCGI
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
         </Directory>
   Alias */nagios* */home/nagios/share/ *
         <Directory *"/home/nagios/share*">
           Options None
           AllowOverride AuthConfig
           Order allow,deny
           Allow from all
         </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

You would need to change the perl script below. With the function 
strftime from the perl module POSIX you can achieve this.

user man perlfunc and perldoc POSIX and look up the functions you need...

Go back through your config.log - GD was not detected correctly.  When
this happens, the statusmap.cgi and trends.cgi are not even built.

Check the FAQ guys and/or the archives. This is because you didn't have
all the pre-requisites installed (GD) at compile time or they were in
non-standard locations.

Subject: Nagios and helpdesk integration
Message-ID: <A67187C9441FF841AC47CB017C5C84313C7ABB@ace-mail.ace.com>

We have "Request Tracker 3" running as our ticketing system here, and I've integrated it fairly well(?) with Nagios.  When Nagios generates an alert, the alert command itself is a script I've written that determines what type of an alert it is, and how that might affect the ticket system.

Warnings don't ever generate a ticket, for example.  *New* critical errors do - so the script uses the RT3 command line tools to generate a new ticket, and then fire off a nicely formatted email with a link to login to RT3.  If the issue isn't acknowledged, subsequent alerts on the *same* issue get appended to the ticket as comments.

The ticket description in RT3 contains a link to Nagios, so that whoever is responding can log in and acknowledge the issue.  Once the issue is ack'd, that triggers the RT3 interaction script, assigning the ticket to whoever ack'd it from Nagios, and notifying whoever needs to be notified that somebody has taken ownership of the issue.

And so forth... it seems to work fairly well, though our environment is fairly small, so I have no idea how it would scale.  I've never really stress tested it.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios and helpdesk integration

I am researching the integration of Nagios into help desk environments 
and help desk software. I have been using Nagios for sometime now, but 
we are now considering using Nagios in a much broader environment with 
more staff accessing it, and integrating it as much as possible into a 
help desk system (ie.: HEAT, DCL, RT, etc.) that has ticketing and 
Knowledge base functionality.

Can anyone comment on what they have done with Nagios in this respect? 
Please provide as much detail as possible.

Thanks,

Nicholas

Hi,

Is there a way to make concurrent host checks? Host checks are always 
checked one by one, never in parallel. This decreases the performance of 
service checks making the normal_check_interval useless..
Has anybody found a solution to this?

Thank you,
Gabriel Constantinescu.

It's marked as "the golden goose that keeps getting away" on the 3.0 
todo list. I imagine a patch implementing it properly would be most welcome.

Gerd,

I prefer my approach ;-)

... but I can even explain why, and perhaps that allows people to decide 
which approach they use.

1. Although snmp needs it's own security considerations, I prefer using 
it over ssh or the NSClient, because snmp is already part of (all) major 
OSes and needs no extra installation. Especially important if you're 
checking windows hosts that are operated by other people.

1.a) I don't have to install nagios' plug-ins on the hosts to monitor.

2. With snmp I can use the same check_commands for different OSes.

3. The passive check approach allows the freshness checking to be done 
by nagios itself, without need to access baculas catalog.

4. The perl script is, for my taste, too heavy in terms of dependencies 
and load. After all, everything it does can be done by a combination of 
bacula's director, some lines of shell code (which _could_ be 
transformed to C, but not by me :-) and nagios - all of this is already 
where I need it. Well, you should know that I never tried embedded perl 
in nagios.

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your reply.
I believe the same happens for ocsp commands, am I right?

Thanks again,
Gabriel Constantinescu.

This is pretty much the same as mine except I used perl and a perl
module called XML::RSS to do the work.

I'll post it after I eat lunch.

Quoting "Ginther, Demian M" <demian.m.ginther at boeing.com>:

looks like 3 of us have been hacking and came up with 3 different kind
of
solutions! viva tmtowtdi!

my hack:

miscommands.cfg

define command{
    command_name    notify-by-rss
    command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-rss.sh
"$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$"
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$SERVICESTATE$"
"$DATETIME$"
"$OUTPUT$"
    }

the script:

#!/bin/sh

RSSFILE="/var/www/html/rss.xml"
DESC="alerts for
NAGURL="http://whatever"

NOTIFICATIONTYPE=$1
SERVICEDESC=$2
HOSTALIAS=$3
HOSTADDRESS=$4
SERVICESTATE=$5
DATETIME=$6
OUTPUT=$7-
echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>" >$RSSFILE
echo "<rss version='2.0'>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<channel>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<title>nagios alert</title>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<link>$NAGURL</link>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<description>$DESC</description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<lastBuildDate>$DATETIME</lastBuildDate>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<generator>nagios notify script</generator>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<item>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<guid isPermaLink='true'>$NAGURL</guid>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<pubDate>$DATETIME</pubDate>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<title>$NOTIFICATIONTYPE alert on $HOSTALIAS for service
$SERVICEDESC</title>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo -e "\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE\nService:
$SERVICEDESC\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS\nState: $SERVICESTATE\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME\nAdditional Info:\n$OUTPUT" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</item>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</channel></rss>" >>$RSSFILE
exit 0

Obviously it'll only report the latest alert, not the best solution. Had
to
niggle with group ownerships (added nagios to apache group, chmod g+w
the write
directory)

blah someone write a complete clean solution :)

Message-ID: <200503092033.22910.zaine@nsiit.com>

Hello,

This might be a stupid question, but is it possible to change the notification 
layout. I have setup nagios to send notifications via sms, and when some of 
the non-it managers get the notification, the dont understand "Plugin 
timeout". Is there anyway that I can change this output, or is it hardcoded?

Regards
Zaine

Possibly. I've never investigated. With the new module API I believe the 
ocsp command will be done away with in favour of a (possibly) forking 
module.

Well, for me personally, it was because big brother works ok, as far as it
goes, but holy jebuz, it's one of the worst hacks I've ever seen under the
covers. So, if you have to modify it at all..... well, good luck with
that.

I'm sure somebody else will give better reasons than that, though.

	Well, speaking as an administrator that when I took over the
office network that had Big Brother as the monitoring software and
quickly moved to Nagios (actually moved when it was still Netsaint). The
biggest reason for the move was the high level of false positives on 
outagea. Big Brother has no concept of a "planned outage" which caused
countless alerts to be sent out for numerous services being monitored on
hosts during a planned outage. Big Brother had no "wiggle room" for
small network congestion which lead to more false positives when there
was a burp between monitoring host and monitored host.

	Overall Nagios has way more going for it than Big Brother.
Besides the ability to schedule outages and configurability to only send
alerts after X amount of monitoring failures, you then have to look at
the system as a whole. Nagios has much more reporting capability from
the historical trendlines. Also the ability to have configured
escalation routines and service/host dependencies.

	For us it was a no brainer...

	Regards,
	Jeremy

The main reason we moved away from Big Brother was the licensing changes.
BB is free for NON-COMMERCIAL use only.
See: http://www.bb4.org/license.html for their licensing terms.

There is also the fundamental differences between the way BB and Nagios 
monitor things.

Just my 2 cents. :-)

I didn't use all the info, and obviously with a few if/then statements
you could make the link go straight to the service affected, etc.

Also, you can use the XML::RSS module to create the .rdf file to begin

I'm running nagios and this script on Mac OS X server.

Hope you find it useful.

Quoting "Ginther, Demian M" <demian.m.ginther at boeing.com>:

looks like 3 of us have been hacking and came up with 3 different kind
of
solutions! viva tmtowtdi!

my hack:

miscommands.cfg

define command{
    command_name    notify-by-rss
    command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-rss.sh
"$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$"
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$SERVICESTATE$"
"$DATETIME$"
"$OUTPUT$"
    }

the script:

#!/bin/sh

RSSFILE="/var/www/html/rss.xml"
DESC="alerts for
NAGURL="http://whatever"

NOTIFICATIONTYPE=$1
SERVICEDESC=$2
HOSTALIAS=$3
HOSTADDRESS=$4
SERVICESTATE=$5
DATETIME=$6
OUTPUT=$7-
echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>" >$RSSFILE
echo "<rss version='2.0'>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<channel>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<title>nagios alert</title>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<link>$NAGURL</link>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<description>$DESC</description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<lastBuildDate>$DATETIME</lastBuildDate>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<generator>nagios notify script</generator>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<item>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<guid isPermaLink='true'>$NAGURL</guid>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<pubDate>$DATETIME</pubDate>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<title>$NOTIFICATIONTYPE alert on $HOSTALIAS for service
$SERVICEDESC</title>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo -e "\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE\nService:
$SERVICEDESC\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS\nState: $SERVICESTATE\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME\nAdditional Info:\n$OUTPUT" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</item>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "</channel></rss>" >>$RSSFILE
exit 0

Obviously it'll only report the latest alert, not the best solution. Had
to
niggle with group ownerships (added nagios to apache group, chmod g+w
the write
directory)

blah someone write a complete clean solution :)

Subject: Running status.cgi from command line
Message-ID: <422F597F.5080103@blackforest-co.com>

I'm planning on running Nagios from a box that doesn't have
a web server. (per-se)  I *can* open a port (12345) and put
an entry in /etc/xinetd.d where it points to a script that
will call ie: echo "hostgroup=all&style=summary" | status.cgi

All I get is:  I'm guessing you're trying to execute the CGI
from a command line. In order to do that, you need to set the 
REQUEST_METHOD environment variable to either "GET", "HEAD",
  or "POST".  When using the ... yada yads ....

Ok ... export REQ...
nope
set it to HEAD
nope
Ok, then...
nope
$@$& !%#$ $!#!&
Watch it!


HELP!!!!

	The main reason we moved away from Big Brother was the licensing
changes.
	BB is free for NON-COMMERCIAL use only.
	See: http://www.bb4.org/license.html for their licensing terms.
	
	There is also the fundamental differences between the way BB and
Nagios monitor things. 
	
	Just my 2 cents. :-)

I am in the process of moving off BB right now after being on it for 5
years.
I ditto most what was said here on the forum about BB verses NAGIOS.

If you are using BB and something goes weird and you have 100+ boxes being
checked on the other
side of a switch/router that goes down and you have ping turned off, be
ready for 1000+ purple pages
at 3:00aM . CRAZY. The granularity of a nagios setup is awesome. And the
"plugin" idea is awesome.
If something can be monitored via a shell script, c program, perl, nagios
can be set up to use it.

The only gripe I do have so far with nagios is the "plugin timed out" pages.
Be it network load
or whatever the reason is. Haven't found out for sure yet.


120+ devices/servers and 672 services being checked, and I am adding more
every day as I
remove them from BB, been at it for over a month now all by myself, been no
small task BUT WORTH IT!

I would do it all over again.....

Bob

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Vs. Big Brother


	Well, speaking as an administrator that when I took over the
office network that had Big Brother as the monitoring software and
quickly moved to Nagios (actually moved when it was still Netsaint). The
biggest reason for the move was the high level of false positives on
outagea. Big Brother has no concept of a "planned outage" which caused
countless alerts to be sent out for numerous services being monitored on
hosts during a planned outage. Big Brother had no "wiggle room" for
small network congestion which lead to more false positives when there
was a burp between monitoring host and monitored host.

	Overall Nagios has way more going for it than Big Brother.
Besides the ability to schedule outages and configurability to only send
alerts after X amount of monitoring failures, you then have to look at
the system as a whole. Nagios has much more reporting capability from
the historical trendlines. Also the ability to have configured
escalation routines and service/host dependencies.

	For us it was a no brainer...

	Regards,
	Jeremy

We are migrating some servers from BB to Nagios.  The main benefits of
Nagios are 
1) Scheduled downtime
2) Reporting
3) Far better written and more hooks
4) Scales better (at 1568 services and rising)
5) Active/passive checks
6) Far fewer false positives due to schedules, dependencies, check times,
and hard/soft alerts.

When migrating BB->Nagios, I found it easy to set up BB-type passive
services in Nagios and then use the bb2nagios relay to accept BB alerts on
the Nagios server which were converted into Nagios passive alerts.  By using
a service freshness check that sets the status to 'unknown' after 10 min, I
can make Nagios behave almost exactly like a Big Brother server during the
changeover.

I am still working on a pure-C xinetd service for converting BB alerts to
Nagios, let me know if you want a copy of the development source.

Steve

- if they don't know what it is about, why derange their beauty sleep ? don't 
notify them.
Still, you can create another notification just for them, and use that 
notification in their contact object.
 if your pager notification looks somewhat like this :
-------------
define command{
 command_name notify-by-sms
 command_line /usr/bin/sms_client -q $CONTACTPAGER$ '$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: 
$HOSTNAME$: $SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ ($OUTPUT$)'
 }
define command{
 command_name host-notify-by-sms
 command_line /usr/bin/sms_client -q $CONTACTPAGER$ '$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: 
$HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ ($OUTPUT$)'
 }
---------------
create another notification for the "less gifted" :

define command{
 command_name notify-by-sms-for-the-weenies
 command_line /usr/bin/sms_client -q $CONTACTPAGER$ 'your toy just broke, dial 
a techie'
 }
define command{
 command_name host-notify-by-sms-for-the-weenies
 command_line /usr/bin/sms_client -q $CONTACTPAGER$ 'buffer overflow, three 
tech words follow and you can only handle two'
 }
(or you may just leave out the $OUTPUT$ macro, so they'l only get the status 
without detail- more effective, less humorous)
----------
define contact {
	contact_name				a-weenie
	host_notification_commands	host-notify-by-sms-for-the-weenies
}

you get the picture, right ?

It really depends on who you ask and how you ask it and what you
like and what your tolerance for pain is.

We've been running Big Brother for a long time here and have
grown accustomed to how it works.

We've been investigating Nagios for the past few months to see
how it works and compares to BB.

The licensing issue for Big Brother is somewhat of a pain because
it's not GPL.  Big Brother has its own license which is rather
confusing to most people.

Compared to Big Brother, Nagios is a serious pain in the butt to
configure.  Once you have your mind wrapped around the Nagios
configuration scheme, though, it's not better or worse - just
different.

The free version of Big Brother hasn't been updated in over a
year.  That's enough for some people to drop BB.  *BUT* one of
the BB community has developed a replacement for the BB server
part (AKA Hobbit) and that IS under active development so that's
a plus.  (FWIW, I haven't tried this new replacement server.)

BB doesn't have the statusmap stuff.  (There may be an add-on
that I don't know about, though.)

BB doesn't have the notion of parent-child relationships.  Again,
there may be some add-on that will do this that I don't know
about.  The aforementioned Hobbit says that it has this notion of
parent-child relationships but I haven't investigated Hobbit yet.

BB doesn't have the notion of flapping, either.

Those two features (parent-child and flapping) are big wins for
Nagios.

Nagios' web page appears to me to be overly cluttered.  It
appears that there's no place to go that I can just have Nagios
tell me "this is what's broken".  I find nothing about the Nagios
web page intuitive.  Now that I've found my way around the Nagios
web page, however, it's not as bad as I first thought.  It still
seems way over complicated though.

In fairness, BB's web page isn't overly intuitive to the
uninitiated either.  *BUT* it is a lot simpler to take in.  Big
Brother changes the background color of the web page based on the
state on that page.  So if everything is good on a particular web
page, that page's background is green.  If something on that web
page is broken, that page's background is red.  A lot of people
like that.

Both Big Brother and Nagios have good email lists comprised of a
knowledgeable, friendly community.

Again, let me couch all of these observations by saying that I've
used Big Brother for years and Nagios for months.  Big time
difference there.

You have an access rights problem.
Try running the commands as user nagios.
Then set up sudo or the file rights or whatever method you chose to 
allow them to run as user nagios, then try again as user nagios.
repeat until it works.

You should use $ARGn$ with n being a number so that $ARGn$ represents a 
positional parameter. And why did you define a percent sign?

It might be better if you actually posted the parts of your 
configuration that don't work (remember - parts only!).

Or, of course, start with the sample command definitions included in the 
distribution.

I have used both BB and Nagios.  Nagios "just works".  I have found BB to have 
lots of little problems that were difficult to figure out.  I finally had to 
abondon it for something else (nagios), and I'll never go back.

Biggest problem I had with it is that it would somehow never remember that a 
condition cleared and keep sending notifications intil I manually cleared it 
out.

Message-ID: <s22eee03.044@gw1.gov.nl.ca>

Aron,

I'm having the same problem.  For some reason the statusmap.cgi and the
trends.cgi files do not get compiled.  From the files I downloaded, I
can see that the statusmap.c and the trends.c files are downloaded but
after all the make commands are run there isn't any statusmap.cgi or
trends.cgi files.

What does the web server log file (often something like

Usually it should be in /usr/local/nagios/sbin/. The .../etc directory

contains the configuration files.

Verify the file permissions, and keep in mind that the cgi files are
run 
as the web server user.

Subject: Nagios Vs. Big Brother
Message-ID: <D4948B7E0294E44EABDDF72BFDEC412B0241279F@aplesfreedom.dom1.jhuapl.edu>


Straight from my recommendation plan to my management....hope it
helps...............


Nagios vs. Big Brother


 

Listed below are operational, administrative and service functionality
features, in comparison, that set Nagios above Big Brother.  A list, of
these comparisons, is outlined in attachment 2 (Added features of Nagios
over Big Brother).


 


Operational Functionality


 

Some of the operational functions that Nagios has built-in that Big
Brother does not (all are accomplished through the user interface):

 

1.	Ability to disable and enable host and service checks.
2.	Ability to schedule impromptu downtime for services and host.
3.	Ability to disable and enable host and service notifications.
4.	Ability to schedule immediate service and host checks for active
checks.
5.	Ability to leave comments about a service or host.
6.	Ability to easily acknowledge alerts.
7.	Ability to restart the Nagios process.
8.	Various other Nagios services can be controlled from the user
interface.
9.	Provides an overall view of the network hierarchy, which shows
"parent-child" relation.
10.	View configuration from the user interface.

 


Administrative Functionality


 

Some of the administrative functionality Nagios has built-in that Big
Brother does not:

 

1.	Ability to set host and service dependencies.  Service and host
dependencies are an advanced feature that allows you to control the
behavior of hosts and services based on the status of one or more other
hosts or services.  

 

	a.	A service can be dependent on one or more other
services.
	b.	A service can be dependent on services that are not
associated with the same host.
	c.	Service dependencies are not inherited.
	d.	Service dependencies can be used to cause service
execution and service notifications to be suppressed under different
circumstances.

 

2.	Template-based configuration files.  The benefits of using the
template-based config file format is that you can create object
definitions that have some of their properties inherited from other
object definitions.  Template-based object definitions allow you to
create large numbers of objects using just a small number of definitions
in your config file(s).  Nagios template-based configuration files are
far superior to Big Brother configuration files in areas of configuring
notifications, time frames, contacts, contact groups, host, host groups,
service and host dependencies, command definitions, host and service
escalations...etc.

 

3.	The ability to set security and authorization of designated
CGI's and command functions. 

 

4.	A PHP (widely-used general-purpose scripting language) web
interface has been developed to make changes to the configuration files.

 


Service Functionality


 

Some of the service functionality Nagios has built-in that Big Brother
lacks or does not support:

 

1.	Nagios supports event handlers.  Event handlers are optional
commands that are executed whenever a host or service state change
occurs.  An event handler could proactively fix problems, troubleshoot
failures, or any myriad of customized events.

 

2.	Nagios supports active service checks.  Active service checks
are initiated from the Nagios server, providing server-side network
monitoring.

 

3.	Nagios supports flap detection.  Flapping occurs when a service
or host changes state too frequently, resulting in a storm of problem
and recovery notifications. Flapping can be indicative of configuration
problems (i.e. thresholds set too low) or real network problems.  When
flap detection is enabled Nagios will suppress notifications, until
flapping has stopped.

 

4.	Nagios provides more flexible UNIX support.  The UNIX (Sun, HP,
Linux, Mac OSX, AIX...etc) clients provide both active and passive
checks.  Active checks are handled by the "nrpe" daemon and passive
checks are handled by the "nsca" daemon.  Client checks are handled by
plugins.  Plugins are scripted or compiled applications that gather
information from the client.  Client programs can be written to gather
disk, cpu, memory, network, LDAP, database, web-server, or just about
any metric you may wish to monitor.  Nagios comes with pre-defined
plugins that can be customized to meet any UNIX environment.

 

5.	Nagios provides more flexible Microsoft support.  The Microsoft
client of choice is NSClient.  NSClient provides support for disk, CPU,
file age, services, processes, uptime, memory, and practically any
available performance counter.  NSClient does not currently support
Event Log messages (in development).  Not to worry, the power of PERL
prevails.  Using the PERL Net::Nsca  module, a client side application
can be written to capture Microsoft Event Log messages and send to the
Nagios server as a passive check.  Three other options are using SNMP or
with some modification the "Event Catch" application Tim Dunlevy wrote
or a UNIX syslog facility could be used as a viable Event Log reporting
service for Nagios.  Because of this versatility, monitored Event Log
messages can be better defined. 

 

6.	Nagios supports notification escalations.  Notification
escalations are used to add additional contacts to service and host
notifications if a problem persists.  

 

          Example:  After a problem with a service occurs a notification
message will be sent to the individuals responsible for the
administration of the specific server.  If that problem persists,
without acknowledgement, then after a predetermined number of
notifications the server administrator(s) and a group of second-level
individuals would be notified.  This escalation process can continue for
as many levels of notification that are needed to obtain a response to
the alert.

 

7.	Nagios supports logging of performance data.  Performance data
can be used to graph and report on system performance metrics.  This
service is useful for troubleshooting and trending possible problems.

 

8.	Nagios supports the integration with other software such as Port
sentry, RRDTool, MRTG...etc.

 

9.	Nagios supports service check parallelization and service check
interleaving.  Parallelization means Nagios can spawn numerous checks at
once on the monitoring server.  Interleaving allows for a more even
distribution of service checks, reduced load on remote hosts, and faster
overall detection of host problems.

exit 0

Obviously it'll only report the latest alert, not the best solution. Had
to niggle with group ownerships (added nagios to apache group, chmod g+w
the write
directory)

blah someone write a complete clean solution :)

Posted earlier.

I have noticed one issue with these RSS notifications... RSS is designed
to work on half hour updates, and most RSS clients won't allow you to
update much more often than 25 minutes.

Anyway, it's till nice to have a ticker tape of nagios alerts.

This is pretty much the same as mine except I used perl and a perl
module called XML::RSS to do the work.

I'll post it after I eat lunch.

Quoting "Ginther, Demian M" <demian.m.ginther at boeing.com>:

looks like 3 of us have been hacking and came up with 3 different kind
of solutions! viva tmtowtdi!

my hack:

miscommands.cfg

define command{
    command_name    notify-by-rss
    command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-rss.sh
"$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$"
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$SERVICESTATE$"
"$DATETIME$" "$OUTPUT$"
    }

the script:

#!/bin/sh

RSSFILE="/var/www/html/rss.xml"
DESC="alerts for
NAGURL="http://whatever"

NOTIFICATIONTYPE=$1
SERVICEDESC=$2
HOSTALIAS=$3
HOSTADDRESS=$4
SERVICESTATE=$5
DATETIME=$6
OUTPUT=$7-
echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>" >$RSSFILE
echo "<rss version='2.0'>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<channel>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<title>nagios alert</title>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<link>$NAGURL</link>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<description>$DESC</description>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<lastBuildDate>$DATETIME</lastBuildDate>" >>$RSSFILE
echo "<generator>nagios notify script</generator>" >>$RSSFILE echo
"<item>" >>$RSSFILE echo "<guid isPermaLink='true'>$NAGURL</guid>"
>>$RSSFILE echo "<pubDate>$DATETIME</pubDate>" >>$RSSFILE echo
"<title>$NOTIFICATIONTYPE alert on $HOSTALIAS for service
$SERVICEDESC</title>" >>$RSSFILE echo "<description>" >>$RSSFILE echo -e
"\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE\nService:
$SERVICEDESC\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS\nState: $SERVICESTATE\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME\nAdditional Info:\n$OUTPUT" >>$RSSFILE echo "</description>"
>>$RSSFILE echo "</item>" >>$RSSFILE echo "</channel></rss>" >>$RSSFILE
exit 0

Obviously it'll only report the latest alert, not the best solution. Had
to niggle with group ownerships (added nagios to apache group, chmod g+w
the write
directory)

blah someone write a complete clean solution :)

Brent,

    There are 3 solutions out there posted in the last 2 or three days now,
and each one works slightly differently.

    Demian Ginther wrote one (posted earlier today) that uses Perl's
XML::RSS feed.

    Brian .. Uh.. Dunno his lastname. :) posted a similar perl script on
Monday. 

    I posted a PHP based app that parses the status.log file and pushes a
rss feed. 


    You can find 'em all by searching the Nagios archive for "Alert
suggestion: RSS"

I'm having the same problem.  Mostly, I get alerted on lost e-mails --
pending seem ok.  I increased my critical limits to 10 instead of 2, and
that seems to work fine for now.  The lost items clear after about 20
minutes.  Can anyone explain how this process works?  How does the item
get cleared from the stat file?

Subject: nagios-statd and SIGCHLD issue
Message-ID: <20050310025017.90407.qmail@web52508.mail.yahoo.com>

I had a Linux box (RH 9) freeze up the other day and the only change I made to it was installing and running nagios-statd (v 3.11).  I dug into the log files and noticed the following being repeated every two minutes:

Mar  6 04:23:40 localhost kernel: application bug: nagios-statd(21300) has SIGCHLD set to SIG_IGN but calls wait().
Mar  6 04:23:40 localhost kernel: (see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait'). Workaround activated.

I'm also seeing this on a RH ES 3.0 box, but it hasn't froze up on me.

I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure exactly what this means and some Google searches of this didn't help me out too much.  The only thing I found was that newer Red Hat kernels are more strict in the way they handle this "SIGCHLD" issue.  Has anyone else had this happen and if so, is there a workaround?

Did you "see the NOTES section of 'man 2 wait'"?  It pretty much explains
what is going on.  Red Hat's latest kernels take a more strict approach to
signal handling and nagios-statd hasn't been upgraded to account for this
new approach.  It's nothing to worry about and most certainly not the
cause of your crash.

You'll need to write a new one that logs in to the host and uses netstat 
or lsof or something. You can't get this kind of info over the net.

Subject: Threshold Monitoring.
Message-ID: <1110462698.3418.1084.camel@linux.cacdhh.org>

Greetings to all, 

The other night I realized that one of my T-1's to a specific location
was taking errors. Not a huge amount at a time, but what we refer to as
"trickle" errors. So it dawned on me that we are not doing any sort of
threshold monitoring, aside from monitoring CPU's, memory and such.
Specifically, I'm talking about on my Cisco's, but ultimately I wouldn't
mind monitoring right down to the PC port level, but that might be to
much... 
  
Is there anyone that is using Nagios to monitor things like port errors
and port utilization or could recommend what to do? 

Thanks,

Subject: Probs with check_hpjd in 1.4 release
Message-ID: <423052CB.1020908@ufz.de>

Hi there,

her I post again the question I sent to the nagios-plugins mailing list.
Got no answer there, the problem persists.

I use check_hpjd to monitor some HP printers. With plugins release 1.3.1
this was no problem. On March 2nd I installed release 1.4 and check_hpjd
tells me only:

./check_hpjd.new -H 141.65.129.65
Unknown output option passed to -O: Q. : Timeout from host 141.65.129.65

(you see: I renamed check_hpjd to check_hpjd.new I then copied back
check_hpjd from 1.3.1 and now the checks run fine again.)

What can I do to make check_hpjd from the plugins 1.4 release work?

With ./check_hpjd --help I do not see the -O option. I don't want to look
through the code to find this symbol...

Regards,
Werner

Without coding; Upgrade your snmpget to net-snmp 5.x or apply the patch 
I submitted to the patch tracker item.

It's snmpget complaining about Q not being a valid option for the -O 
argument.

It's only 160 lines or so. You should be able to find it easily.

There isn't an existing plugin that I'm aware of that could do this.  It
would be fairly trivial to write one though...a shell script that does
something along the lines of:

netstat -apn | grep -c ":[jabberport]"

Would probably do the trick.  You could then either wrap that up in your
own plugin, or publish the value via SNMP and get it using the SNMP
plugin.

Hi, I'm just wondering if there's a way to use a line like:

include myservers.cfg

so that way my config files don't get so cluttered. If it's in the 
documentation (which is possible, as I didn't read all of it in it's 
entirety) could someone include a tip on where it is?

Thanks,

Andy

see docs for "cfgdir" entry in nagios.cfg

allows you to import all files for specified directory wiouth explicit 
declaration of filenames.

Or you could just specify multiple cfg_file entries.

/emageon/archive/dicom/version=-958290462MB;-958290482;-958290472;0;-958290462


What am I missing? Does the check_disk command need a permission change of
some sort?
It is working for several other filesystems on the linux system without
issue.

Thanks,

*sample* config files can be installed by running 'make install-config'.
They'll need to be edited, renamed and listed in nagios.cfg to work
though.

Thanks Marc,

I look and sure enough, I was missing a libarary.  After installing it
and recompiling, everything appears to be working.

Check the FAQ guys and/or the archives. This is because you didn't
have
all the pre-requisites installed (GD) at compile time or they were in
non-standard locations.

There are a number of cool SNMP utils to be found at:
http://www.silfreed.net/download/progs/nagios/

I am using the check_snmp_if and check_snmp_counter to do this- the 
snmp_counter checkcommand (which I had to write to the author to obtain, 
since I could not find an example) is:

define command {
         command_name    check_snmp_crc_int
         command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp_counter -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C 
$ARG1$ -w 0,25 -c 0,50 -f /usr/local/nagios/var/counters $ARG2$
         }

In the check_snmp_if package there's an autogeneration tool that will 
walk your routers and build configs such that all ints in UP/DOWN state 
return criticals. That same tool will set up the crc_int checks above as 
well, but be warned it does not seem to care whether or not the 
interface is a loopback, vlan, or other non-crc-havin' interface.

Hope that helps!

Has anyone put together any class materials for teaching a group
how to configure Nagios? I'm going to be training an internal
group on it, and it would be helpful if someone has already
polished the material.

Thanks,

Subject: check_disk on Solaris returns the wrong data
Message-ID: <42309335.3000809@us.fujitsu.com>

Alle,

	We're running Nagios 2.0b2 on RHEL3. We've installed plugins V1.4 on a 
Solaris 8 box to do check with check_by_ssh. We've found some 
inconsistencies with the out put from check_disk.
	For example, here is the default ouput:

root at g31:/admin/utils/libexec [89/3]# ./check_disk -w 10 -c 5
DISK OK - free space: / 184 MB (9%); /var 1988 MB (66%); /var/run 3485

235756 MB (78%); /admin 179207 MB (29%); /bank1 205154 MB (76%); /admin 
179207 MB (29%); /var/mail 235756 MB (78%);| /=1822MB;1995;2000;0;2005

/var/mail=66794MB;302539;302544;0;302549
root at g31:/admin/utils/libexec [90/4]#

	As you can see, the NFS mounted filesystems (/bank1, /var/mail and 
/admin) are listed twice. However, when we use the -l option for local 
disks only:

root at g31:/admin/utils/libexec [90/4]# ./check_disk -l -w 10 -c 5
DISK OK - free space: / 184 MB (9%); /var 1988 MB (66%); /var/run 3485

(94%); /opt/share 16583 MB (79%); /bank1 205154 MB (76%); /var/mail 
235753 MB (78%); /admin 179207 MB (29%);| /=1822MB;1995;2000;0;2005

/admin=432608MB;611805;611810;0;611815
root at g31:/admin/utils/libexec [91/5]#

	The NFS files systems are still listed, but only once. If we use the -X 
nfs option, we still get the nfs filesystems:

root at g31:/admin/utils/libexec [94/8]# ./check_disk -X nfs -w 10 -c 5
DISK OK - free space: / 184 MB (9%); /var 1988 MB (66%); /var/run 3485 
MB (100%); /tmp 1023 MB (100%); /opt 2993 MB (59%); /export/home 932 MB 
(94%); /opt/share 16583 MB (79%); /bank1 205154 MB (76%); /var/mail 
235753 MB (78%); /admin 179207 MB (29%);| /=1822MB;1995;2000;0;2005

/admin=432609MB;611805;611810;0;611815
root at g31:/admin/utils/libexec [95/9]#

	I've looked back in the ML archives but haven't found anything that 
mentions this.
	Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Camron

Subject: check_http resolver (bug or me?)
Message-ID: <4230946E.4050509@mi-consultants.com>

I just saw something interesting in my /var/log/messages regarding to named.

Mar 10 12:57:19 www named[19993]: lame server resolving 
'www.business-plan-maker.com.mitimite.com' (
in 'mitimite.com'?): 65.125.228.92#53

mitimite.com is one of the completion domains that I have in resolv.conf.
mitimite.com DNS is not on this server. Nor is it the same DNS server as 
business-plan-maker.com.

The only thing I can think of that is asking for the 
www.business-plan-maker.com would be nagios.

I have a chkcommand defined as:

# 'check_http_site' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http_site
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$
        }


And in services have:

define service{
        host_name               web1.chancetechnologies.com
        service_description     check_http_site www.business-plan-maker.com
        check_command           check_http_site!www.business-plan-maker.com
        max_check_attempts      5
        normal_check_interval   5
        retry_check_interval    3
        check_period            24x7
        notification_interval   30
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    w,c,r
        contact_groups          chancetech
}

For the fun of it I'm trying it in services as 
check_http_site!www.business-plan-maker.com. (trailiing period).
Would seem odd to nave to have a trailing period..   but worth a try.
Anyone else notice perhaps some strange resolv behaviour from check_http?

If I simply do a nslookup from the server were nagios is running all 
looks well.

Try adding a trailing dot to the hostname you're resolving. That should 
prevent your resolver from trying to append your search domain(s) upon 
lookup. ie:

check_command     check_http_site!www.business-plan-maker.com.

Hi,

what you describe seems to be a result of your resolver.

Most probably - but you would need someone who is more an expert 
concerning named and resolver than I am - you simply have a lame server 
that answers too slow, so that your local resolver sends the next query 
according to its search list.

I installed Nagios 1.2-1 from Dag Wieers' rpm on a CentOS 3.4 (RHEL AS 3)
box, and have it working great (except for status map icons, which I'll ask
about in another post).  I'd like to upgrade to 2.0-0b2 via rpm.  Can I do
this safely.  Are there any tweaks I have to make, or any gotchas I'd
encounter?

 

Many thanks.

hello all-
      i have about 50 network devices that i am monitoring. each one is
configured as a host, with the check_command defined as check-host-alive.
in addition, i have a ping of each device defined as a service, with
event_handler enabled and set to "networkdevice-notify-by-epager", a custom
script which dials a skytel paging server and sends directly to our pagers.
the event handler works from the command line (as user nagios) and i get no
complaints from nagios at startup about incorrect or nonexistent commands.
      my first question is, is the ping service necessary? it doesn't seem
as if it is. all i want to know is if each of the network thingies is up.
check-host-alive should suffice, no?
      second, and more pressing, is that when testing all of this against a
"fake" IP address (sure to return a CRITICAL error), neither my host event
handler nor the service event handler gets triggered. The host shows up as
CRITICAL in the UI, but nothing else happens. Moreover, I see the event
handler for the host being called in nagios.log, but that's where it ends.
Below are config file snippets. Thanks in advance, Robert

Helo list!

I know about the "Schedule downtime for all services in this hostgroup"
solution.

But I had to schedule dowtime for all the services in some hosts and I only
managed to do it singly. It was very time consuming (5 hosts, approximately
5 services/host).

Is it possible to schedule downtime for all services in one host?

I use Nagios 1.2.

Thanks in advance,
Tamas.

If the HOST is in downtime, all of the services are assumed to be in
downtime, as well.

Config file formats are wildly mismatching. I wrote a couple of 
conversion tools once upon a time that might be useful to you.
They're at http://oss.op5.se/nagios but be warned that no help is 
available for any of them and I take no responsibility in case they 
don't fix everything for you. I just know they worked nicely for me.

Host checks aren't normally scheduled, and it's not advisable to do so 
since they aren't executed in parallell. That means that while one host 
is being checked, no other checks are being performed.

You have a bug in your command definition.

The opening quotation mark misses its mate. Put a " after $CONTACTPAGER$

Andreas,

Many thanks for the heads-up on upgrading.  Thanks, too, for the conversion
tools.  If I have the time and can rustle up a spare box, I'll install
1.2-1, then try upgrading to 2.0-0b2 via the tools and, of course, report
back.

Sure? I read this as `snpp -m "some stuff to send as a message" 
$CONTACTPAGER$

Is it possible to change what the Nagios CGIs display. My job requires
all links be removed from sites and the CGI creates the little grey
box on the right upper corner with info such as username and a link to
the Nagios site. Or am I looking in the wrong place, I took all the
links out from the HTML pages.

Any help would be great

Subject: NRPE and remote hosts - problem
Message-ID: <4230DD16.7080408@atlas.sk>

Hello, I have server Mandrakelinux with NAGIOS 2.0. I need monitoring 
remote hosts with nrpe. On remote hosts nrpe daemon is running.
Problem: in service.cfg is

define service {
         use                             generic-service
         host_name                       qel
         service_description             Current users
         is_volatile                     0
         check_period                    24x7
         max_check_attempts              3
         normal_check_interval           5
         retry_check_interval            2
         contact_groups                  linux-admins
         notification_interval           240
         notification_period             24x7
         notification_options            w,u,c,r
         check_command                   		check_nrpe!ipaddress!check_users
}

Answer is 	Connection refused by host

But from console: [root at gucci nagios]# 
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H ipaddress -c check_users
USERS OK - 1 users currently logged in |users=1;5;10;0

Pls help me, what is wrong?  some permission?

Thanks Martin

Sorry for my English

The displayed content of the CGI's is all created dynamically. You'll
need to edit the source code of the CGI's to remove the printf's you
don't want displayed and recompile nagios.

Subject: Hierarchical host schedule queuing
Message-ID: <7ADE11986184154083869D43D0B06D44011D1D4A@exchange.nccsc.k12.in.us>

Greetings!

While simulating a network failure to test my nagios setup, I noticed
that nagios (using version 1.2) does not hierarchically proceed to check
upstream hosts following when it concludes that a host is down hard.  

For example, take this theoretical scenario.  My nagios is in a network
of five hundred monitored nodes, spread across many subnets and WAN
links, and nagios is connected to the core router.  A peer router
(Router A) goes down one hop away from the core router.  Many more
routers and devices that are being monitored are downstream from this
router at various hops.  Nagios discovers that it cannot reach Server A
located 3 hops away on the other side of the downed router, so it sends
a notification of the server being down.

What actually happens next is that nagios continues down its predermined
scheduling queue, finding more devices down (or unreachable, if it has
found it to be behind a downed host it has already discovered) behind
this router.  Note that it has not yet discovered the router itself, and
the source of the problem, to be down because it is much further down in
the scheduling queue in this scenario.

What would perhaps would be more efficient in terms of outage discovery
would happen as follows.  Server A is discovered to be down, but nagios
witholds sending an alert for the moment.  It halts its normal
scheduling queue and begins a temporary hierarchical scheduling queue,
scheduling the hosts between nagios and the suspect server, starting
with the closest one and ending with the farthest one and taking into
account redundant links.  It then processes this queue, discovers that
Router A is the actual problem sees that no other path exists to Server
A, sends an alert for Router A, and revises the alert for Server A as
unreachable.  It then revises its normal queue to exclude the hosts just
checked hierarchically and proceeds normally.  Anything else found
behind Router A is henceforth correctly marked as unreachable.  In fact,
everything can logically be determined to be unreachable behind Router A
after such a test and can then be updated instantly.

In my real network, I set up nagios to send me alerts only on hard
downed hosts and recovered hosts.  When I simulated a failure of the
large network at the core router (I unplugged nagios from the core
router; my nagios box is multihomed to a dedicated Internet link for
alerts, BTW), I received about 30 host down alerts before the core
router outage was discovered over 45 minutes later.  I could have
received the problem alert from the source of the problem much sooner
with hierarchical queuing.


If a newer version of nagios already supports this, then great!  If not,
perhaps I can assist in creating the necessary code to make this extra
logic possible.  This program is too good not to have such a feature.

That is my fault.  I am using nagios 2.0b2 on FC3.  I was looking at
the wrong info.

Thanks,

Probably. You run nagios as user nagios, I assume, and your console 
check is run as root.
su to nagios and try it. Then setup sudo or chenge the file permissions 
and retry.

Subject: nagios gives unknown state - when monitoring over WAN link
Message-ID: <003c01c525e3$81f15d50$12ff7893@RoomsNet.com>

Hi all,

Iam using nagios to monitor 3 servers in a different country. we have a 128 line. but that line is use for various activities..like ftp etc..
when i try to monitor remote hosts (out side my country) from my nagios server it gives state unknown and cant connect to remote hosts,timeouts. after few seconds it gives correct out put (i am using snmp to check hard disk,memory..etc). normally my round trip average time is more than 500 ms some times its 900ms. i think udp packets get lost . 
if i use NRPE can i solve this problem ?? i cant give priority to icmp or udp in my network.
is nagios use that much bandwidth for monitoring ?? (iam monitoring only 3 servers and and alltogeter executing 10 snmp plugins)
when i use this in my LAN it gives no errors..and gives real data...it indicates that my configuaration is ok...when i go over WAN link it gives only amber colour and after few seconds it gives ok state..again in few seconds it gives amber...so..i cant monitor it well..coninuosly
hope u guys can help me to solve this...iam using nagios 1.2.
i thought to use NRPE ? is this will give a better result over WAN ???

thanks in advance
Tharanga

It sounds to me that you're describing a feature that has been in
Nagios, and Netsaint prior, for years. If your idea is somehow
different, can you clarify?

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

"Monitoring Remote Hosts 

Checking the status of remote hosts is a bit more complicated that for
local hosts. If Nagios cannot monitor services on a remote host, it
needs to determine whether the remote host is down or whether it is
unreachable. Luckily, the <parent_hosts> option allows Nagios to do
this. 

If a host check command for a remote host returns a non-OK state, Nagios
will "walk" the depency tree (as shown in the figure above) until it
reaches the top (or until a parent host check results in an OK state).
By doing this, Nagios is able to determine if a service problem is the
result of a down host, an down network link, or just a plain old service
failure.

DOWN vs. UNREACHABLE Notification Types 

I get lots of email from people asking why Nagios is sending
notifications out about hosts that are unreachable. The answer is
because you configured it to do that. If you want to disable UNREACHABLE
notifications for hosts, modify the notification_options argument of
your host definitions to not include the u (unreachable) option. More
information can be found in this FAQ."

Hi

Normally you'd write something like this
[<time>] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;<host>;<service>;<exit code>;<message>

to nagios.cmd if you want to return a passive service check.

What I can't find is what to put in <service> to make it a host check?

How about replacing PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT with 
PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT and simply omitting the service? It's all in 
the docs, but requires Nagios 2.x. Nagios 1.x doesn't support passive 
host-checks.

It's right there. Don't know what I was looking for when searching trough the 
docs!

It even works. Thanks a lot.

The question is - do you do this check as root user or as nagios user?
try
`su nagios -c /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H ipaddress -c 
check_users`
to get results when the check is run as user nagios.

Hi,

I have the same problem: as root the check_nrpe-command give an answer
like "OK...", but as user 'nagios' the answer is "cannot map tcp to
protocol number"

I think, this is not a nagios-problem, then a problem of permissions.
But I don't know, which permissions are wrong... Can anybody help?

Thanx

Your distribution must be broken to have left it any other way.

Hi Andre,

I understand this text so that there may be no entry in /etc/services for
nrpe. Otherways you would get "Failed to obtain socket" or likewise.

Subject: Multiple host parents / dependencies
Message-ID: <opsng082o6netilt@mail.gmx.net>

Hi

Is it (how) possible to use multiple Host parents if the Host depends on  
ALL parents?

I would like to have dependencies where a host depends on several parents  
(e.g. switch & router). The problem is that if I specify multiple parents  
nagios assume a redundant connection. But in my case the host depends on  
the router AND the switch. The host has to be declared as unrechable if  
either the switch OR the router (or both) are down.

I tried the parents option and hostdependencies but I couldn't get a  
working solution.

Many thanks

Daniel

Sorry, yesterday I wasn't a member of this list ;-)


I read the thread now, but I don't understand, what Andreas means:

"Without coding; Upgrade your snmpget to net-snmp 5.x or apply the patch
  I submitted to the patch tracker item."

I installed the NET::SNMP-Modul yesterday from CPAN, it MUST be the 
newest ;-)

What does Andreas mean whith "the patch tracker item"?

If you have connected "router -> switch -> host", then make the switch
depend on the router, and the host on the switch.

Cheers, Chris.

Hi,

           As per the documentation,  I have installed and confugred nagios-2.0b2. After setting up webserver and finding the nagios.cfg  file witout any errors, I started the nagios process (running as daemon). Then when I go to web interface, I cannot access ang cgi?s .. Its giving me the error,? internal Server error?  for any cgi?s. I can access only the documentation
.. Is there any thing more to configure so as to display the cgi?s correctly
?????

 

           Also in the configurations, for an example, I have configured hosts.cfg file with one host , configured the service.cfg with one service so as to check the disk ( check_disk) for the specified host and defined the command check_disk, also configured time-period and contacts etc
.

 

           When I start nagios as /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios ?d , in the log file I am getting warnings like ? host down,  check_disk , thershold must be an integer or percentage??

 

           I don?t know , why I am getting this warnings and errors.. So please help me to resolve this two issues

. 

 

 

Thanks and Regrds

in my opinion the command in services.cfg is missing the arguments.

Arguments follows the '!'

change it to: check_disk!10%!5%

for 'warn' at 10% and 'critical' at 5% free space

Sure.
But he doesn't refer to perl's NET::SNMP, but to the net-snmp package, 
whose programs are used by the nagios plugins.

See http://www.net-snmp.org/ for more information. Or your distributions 
software installation tool.

Hi

This does not work in our enviroment because we are using vlan. All  
switches have a management interface and therefore each switch has another  
switch as parent => Layer 2 network Layout (all switches are checked in  
this management network. Therefore a dependency "switch -> host" is not  
possible.

I tried to make a hostdependency for the layer 3 (router) dependency but  
it doesn't seem to work as I expect.

Subject: Outstanding SNMP_CPU issue on Nagios Monitoring Win2K Machines
Message-ID: <F8B974E70BDE1745ABB27AF04788FA00023585@mail1.dulles.sv.int>

I have 8 Identical Windows 2000 servers built at different times.

On three of the servers, I get the following error in Nagios Tactical

I have tried many things including checking the registry settings,
Informant (SNMP) version and type.  The versions were identical.  The
SNMP settings in the Service Control Panel are also identical on both
machines.

Does anyone have any idea how to make this work or also have this issue?

I have asked before and said I would try the things mentioned above but
still, no luck...

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

I don't understand why the dependency "doesn't work".

If you want the host to be marked unreachable whenever the switch (or
ITS parent) goes down, then make its parent the switch. This is
completely independent of the physical connections, layer 2, etc. It's
just and exactly how Nagios evaluates whether a host is unreachable or
not.

When you say the router dependency "doesn't work as expected", that
doesn't give me enough information to even begin to figure out what the
problem is. What is "expected" and how does the observed behaviour not
match it? What exactly is the configuration of the router, switch and
host? (copy & paste please).

Cheers, Chris.

Hi,

I use a patched version of check_mailq that permits to indicate the 
configuration file that must be used.

In my nrpe.cfg, i define this command:
command[check_mail]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w $ARG1$ -c 
$ARG2$ -f $ARG3$

and for example, in the definition of my service, i put this:
check_nrpe!check_mail!2000!3000!/etc/mail/sendmail.cf.delivery

I hope that help you.

Carole.

It appears that Nagios is not "walking" properly on my setup then.  My
notification options are as follows from contacts.cfg:

define contact {
contact_name                   Shawn_email
alias                          Shawn Iverson Email

service_notification_options   u,w,c,r
host_notification_options      d,r
host_notification_commands     host-notify-by-email
service_notification_commands  notify-by-email
email                          shawn at nccsc.k12.in.us
}

define contact {
contact_name                   Shawn_pager
alias                          Shawn Iverson Pager
host_notification_period       24x7
service_notification_period    24x7
service_notification_options   u,w,c,r
host_notification_options      d,r

service_notification_commands  notify-by-email
email                          ##########@paging.acswireless.com

Nagios is not "walking" my dependency tree for some reason.  Something
has gone astray for me.

Here is a sample of a parent tree of my hosts.cfg for reference (ip
addresses not included):

<hosts.cfg START>

This is what is happening with my setup.  Say that the vlan_switch goes
down and cannot route packets, and the scheduling queue is as follows at
that moment:

rileyserver PING 03-11-2005 08:32:35 03-11-2005 08:37:35 ENABLED   
rileyrouter PING 03-11-2005 08:33:35 03-11-2005 08:38:35 ENABLED   
rileyB PING 03-11-2005 08:34:35 03-11-2005 08:39:35 ENABLED   
eastomniA PING 03-11-2005 08:35:35 03-11-2005 08:40:35 ENABLED   
rileySW2 PING 03-11-2005 08:36:35 03-11-2005 08:41:35 ENABLED   
6509 PING 03-11-2005 08:37:35 03-11-2005 08:42:35 ENABLED
vlan_switch PING 03-11-2005 08:38:35 03-11-2005 08:43:35 ENABLED
rileyA PING 03-11-2005 08:39:35 03-11-2005 08:44:35 ENABLED   
eastomniB PING 03-11-2005 08:40:35 03-11-2005 08:45:35 ENABLED

Here is the order of events that is occuring on my box:

1) I receive an email alert that the rileyserver is in a DOWN state.
2) I receive an email alert that the rileyrouter is in a DOWN state.
3) I receive an email alert that the rileyB is in a DOWN state.
4) I receive an email alert that the eastomniA is in a DOWN state.
5) I receive no email alert for rileySW2 because it is an UNREACHABLE
state.
6) The 6509 is UP, no email
7) I finally receive an alert after the previous five that the
vlan_switch in a DOWN state.
8) I receive no email alert for rileyA because it is in an UNREACHABLE
state.
9) I receive no email alert for eastomniB because it is in an
UNREACHABLE state.

I am not receiving any alerts for hosts in an UNREACHABLE state, but I
am receiving false alerts for hosts that should be in an UNREACHABLE
state, not a DOWN state.

Subject: Parsing of macro-vars
Message-ID: <3B1F009121A0D411AD7B0010E37C5BEC1006FE7A@of-mxs02.oppenheim.de>

Hi all!

Can I use macros in the config-files? In former versions of Nagios, I wrote
some cgi?s which were bound into the service-/host-overview as "extended
informations"; I used the "old style" of specifying extended informations to
be compatible with nawui. 

Obvisually, macros in the main config-files are parsed, whereas macros in
normal config-files - especially the extended service-/host- informations -
are not.

Could you give me a hint, with which c-code-files the Nagios-config-files
are parsed? Are there any functions to parse macro-vars out of a string?

THX i.a., thomas.

My nrpe.cfg is as follows, although I use postfix(just change to qmail):
*command[check_mailq]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 10 -c 20 
[-W 10] [-C 20
] -M postfix*

and in services:

# Service definition
define service{

        host_name                       my server
        service_description             Check Mail Queue
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              x
        normal_check_interval           x
        retry_check_interval            x
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        *check_command                   check_nrpe!check_mailq*
        }

*Note: if you're not using the NRPE daemon then it would look something 
like this:
*
checkcommands.cfg:

# 'check_mailq' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_mailq
        command_line    $USER1$/check_mailq *-w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ [-W 
$ARG3$ [-C $ARG4$
] -M $ARG5$*
        }

and services:
*check_command                   check_mailq!10!20!10!20!qmail


*I think one of these should do it. Hope this helps.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you can't find the proper file 
then I really don't think you should try and muck about with it.

Sure master, I didn?t take it wrong :-)
The file which reads the config wasn?t exactly what I searched.

So I will repose my question:
Is there any (global) function available for parsing macro-vars out of a
string?

Andreas, what would you propose to start with, if I`m interested in the
nagios code? With the rich code-documentation?

Thanks a lot, thomas

Hi,

I submitted a patch (promptly ignored) 2 months ago which was adding some
macro variables. It is working with CVS version 2004.12.19. It can be a good
start !

Well then...

Qmail is a special case- you must be root to check the queue size. 
Rather than running NRPE as root (yuck) I chose an elaborate but 
functional workaround.

In utils.pm my QMAIL_QSTAT = "/usr/local/nrpe/qmail-qstat.sh"

That shell script contains "sudo /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat", and 
/etc/sudoers is set up so the nagios user can run 
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat as root with no password.

Hope that helps!

Message-ID: <2638AB7E1672B842901B0B49421B87DF0FCD4E@mpc00email3.micronpc.com>

I know there is not much support for NC_Net and NT4, but I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue.  When I run a CPULOAD check (using the NC_Net modified check_nt): 

./check_nt -H vm-winnt4 -v CPULOAD -l 10,85,95,60,80,90,1440,80,90


the output is always the same and reports incorrectly:

CPU Load 4294967295% (10 min average) 4294967295% (60 min average) 4294967295% (1440 min average) |   '10 min avg Load'=4294967295%;85;95;0;100 '60 min avg Load'=4294967295%;80;90;0;100 '1440 min avg Load'=4294967295%;80;90;0;100


I have not been able to find anything in relation as to why.  Anyone seen this?  Or perhaps has an idea that I can try?

Subject: How to define remote passive check commands in Nagios cfg file.
Message-ID: <34881.62.254.161.77.1110563457.squirrel@www.openapp.biz>

Hello,

I've written a program that checks an application log file for some data
and sends the data to the send_nsca program which transmits it to the nsca
daemon I have running on the Nagios server.

What I'm unclear on is how to define the command and service in the
appropriate configuration files.  For instance, what would I put into the
'command line' entry of a checkcommand template?

Does anyone have any examples of a configuration file that defines a
service which is a remote passive check?

Thanks,

Braun Brelin

There are basically two possible scenarios here --

1) You do not want to perform freshness checks of the service from your
central host. In this case, set check_period to 'none' in your service
definition and your check_command can be any defined check_command
(check_dummy for example). The command will never be executed so it
doesn't matter what it is.

2) You do want to perform freshness checks of the service from your
central host IFF you do not receive timely passive results. In this
case, enable check_freshness and its associated options and define a
check_command that will validly determine the state of the service from
your central host. This command _will_ be executed if passive results
aren't timely.

I use option 1 above --

# 'always-true' command definition
define command{
        command_name    always-true
        command_line    $USER1$/check_dummy 0
        }

# Generic service definition template
define service{
        name                            generic-service
        active_checks_enabled           1       
        passive_checks_enabled          1               
	  parallelize_check               1       
        obsess_over_service             1       
        check_freshness                 0       
        notifications_enabled           1       
        event_handler_enabled           1       
        flap_detection_enabled          1       
        process_perf_data               1       
        retain_status_information       0       
        retain_nonstatus_information    1       
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    none
        max_check_attempts              5
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            3
        notification_interval           10080
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        register                        0       
        }

#Service definition
define service {
        use                     generic-service

        service_description     PING
        contact_groups          tnops
        check_command           check_dummy
        }

So...when you define check_command as'service-is-stale', is that some sort
of reserved keyword?  Otherwise, how is 'service-is-stale' defined in the
checkcommand.cfg?

Thanks,

The config names themselves don't matter (outside of nagios.cfg, cgi.cfg
and resource.cfg). The information in the ones you are referencing as
missing are rolled into bigger.cfg and minimal.cfg. Historically the
config files used to be separated by config type (i.e. all hostgroup
definitions in hostgroups.cfg, all contact definitions in contacts.cfg,
etc) and many of us still do that for ease of scripting automated
manipulation of the config files, but it isn't necessary.

they have been cobmined into bigger or minimal

the only filenames that matter are "nagios.cfg", cgi.cfg", and 
"resources.cfg"

all other filenames are arbitrary.

Hi!

Thank you yor answers. I know that. My scenario was, that I had to schedule
downtime approximately 5 services for 4 hosts (total 20 services). But not
the hosts, because they should be alive!!

I couldn't find a bulit-in, fast method to this. Is there?

Thanks again!
Bye, Tamas!

If the HOST is in downtime, all of the services are assumed to be in
downtime, as well.

I notice that even though I have all of my checks running every 5 minutes,
the Last Check field in nagios will sometimes be several days out of date..
What can I do to force nagio to be more accurate in that field? It has
raised some doubt amongst management as to if Nagios is really working or
not.

Last Check data is updated at the same time the status information is
(i.e. when checks are performed) so they should always be accurate. Do
you have any orphaned check processes? Are you allowing enough
concurrent checks to be run (max_concurrent_checks)? Are you reaping
service check results often (service_reaper_frequency). I don't
understand why the information would be days old in either case. Perhaps
you _might_ have multiple daemons running? More information on your
installation, number of hosts and services and the type of hardware
might be helpful. Output of /path/to/nagios -s /path/to/nagios.cfg would
be informative as well.

In response to your questions : 


I'm not seeing any orphaned checks. 
max_concurrent_checks = 0
service_reaper_frequency = 5
42 hosts 
346 services
(I'm about to triple the # of hosts and services, though with a new rollout
this weekend)

It's running on a dell 1750, dual xeon 2.4ghz server with 2GB of memory, and 3 73GB drives,
hardware raid5. 

Output of nagios -s :

        SERVICE SCHEDULING INFORMATION
        -------------------------------
        Total services:             350
        Total hosts:                44

        Command check interval:     10 sec
        Check reaper interval:      5 sec

        Inter-check delay method:   SMART
        Average check interval:     120.857 sec
        Inter-check delay:          0.345 sec

        Interleave factor method:   SMART
        Average services per host:  7.955
        Service interleave factor:  8

        Initial service check scheduling info:
        --------------------------------------
        First scheduled check:      1110568976 -> Fri Mar 11 11:22:56 2005
        Last scheduled check:       1110569097 -> Fri Mar 11 11:24:57 2005

        Rough guidelines for max_concurrent_checks value:
        -------------------------------------------------
        Absolute minimum value:     15
        Recommend value:            45

        Notes:
        The recommendations for the max_concurrent_checks value
        assume that the average execution time for service
        checks is less than the service check reaper interval.
        The minimum value also reflects best case scenarios
        where there are no problems on your network.  You will
        have to tweak this value as necessary after testing.
        High latency values for checks are often indicative of
        the max_concurrent_checks value being set too low and/or
        the service_reaper_frequency being set too high.
        It is important to note that the values displayed above
        do not reflect current performance information for any
        Nagios process that may currently be running.  They are
        provided solely to project expected and recommended
        values based on the current data in the config files.

Are you talking about Last Check of an individual Service, or of the
Host itself?

Hosts are only checked if one of their services goes down.

Yea, service-is-stale is right out of the docs for distributed monitoring.
So I have:

define command{
        command_name    service-is-stale
        command_line    $USER1$/staleservice.sh
        }

#!/bin/sh

/bin/echo "CRITICAL: Service results are stale!  Distributed Nagios is
DOWN!"

exit 2

I believe he is refering to the patch tracking system in sourceforge
for the official plugins , he submitted several fixes/patches last
month under the request ID: 1143849

if you are unfamiliar with where this is goto:
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/ 
then click on the patches  and you should see the reference ID in the list.

Good Luck

You can always try using NSCA  with a very large timout,  If you are
already using NSCA for other things on you system you may want to run
a second one on a non default port that way you can set the timeout
specifically to handle the large lag time.  When using NSCA you would
basically run plugins on the remote servers and gather the outputs,
then send all the outputs at once via the send_nsca.

Make sure you adjust your timeout of whatever plugin you are using if
you are getting timeout or no data received from host in your
warnings.

Also you may want to change some of the service settings to prevent
the warnings
Read through the nagios Documentation on what the different service
settings do.

Hope this helps

Dear all,
           I am using Nagios nagios to monitor uptime of few routers and switches etc.
I am getting two false readings from Nagios.
1.) Sometimes it says as time to live exceeded When i have configured 95% and 700ms in critical state of check_ping.
2.)Secondly I am not getting any notification mails from the monitor.

Plz suggest.

Thanks 
Vivek Sharma.

Not sure if this is it, but when I experienced the same problem, or at 
least thought I had the problem, my setup was fine, I just had the 
system falsly configured to send out emails only after the check failed 
for a very extended period of time, without realizing.

I assume you're using the check_icmp plugin for this.

Time to live exceeded is what you get if
1) there are routing problems, causing packets to loop indefinitely 
between two nodes or two interfaces on the same node. The ttl value was 
introduced specifically to prevent this.
2) you have redundant routes to a host, and the "usual" route goes down 
while the secondary one is more than whatever default TTL is set on 
outgoing packets. You can try increasing the ttl value on outgoing 
packets using the -l flag to check_icmp. The maximum value is 255.

> 2.) Secondly I am not getting any notification mails from the monitor.

This is a configuration issue. It is impossible to give detailed help 
without detailed error info.

i have a similar layout and i created "hosts" for each vlan where the host 
check is just a ping of the admin interface for the switch.  if the switch 
goes down, all the vlans go down too.

Subject: Hosts notifications (not services)
Message-ID: <20050313050805.tbzfq0ru800gc8so@webmail.wizard.xinus.net>

Hi,

I would like to use hosts contact_groups notifications and not services
contact_groups notifications.

I've defined contact_group for each host (no contact_group for services).

But when I check the configuration, I've got a lot of warnings messages like
this one :

Warning: Service 'SMTP' on host 'myserver'  has no default contact group(s)
defined!

And with this configuration, I don't receive any notifications. What could be
the problem ?

Kind regards,

David.

Hi,

I'm having problems with Nagios.
I've installed it, and i can access it www.glxhost.com/nagios/.

However, whenever i try and run any scripts, all i get is 500 Internal Server error.
When i look at the scripts in nano i just get lots of letters and jumbled numbers- it doesn't resemble any code- is this right?

I've got GD installed, and have started it with service nagios start

You described it.
You haven't defined contacts for the services. How would nagios know 
whom to notify?

You should read the manual, explaining what host checks are and when a 
host is considered down.
Basically, a host notification has nothing to do with services running 
on it or not.

Works from here, too.
I'm sure you've got proper access lists set up for apache?

this means that the cgi commands could not be executed properly.
Look into the web servers log file, aspecially the error log.

They should resemble machine code :-)
Nagios cgis are not scripts.
Probably this is your mistake.
You should verify your apache setup. The nagios cgis can not be executed 
by any script interpreter.

Hi 

I'm new to nagios and trying to configure it.

I've got some understanding trouble with the check_command directive:
e.g.
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 192.168.1.2 -w 200.0,80% -c
400.0,40%

I've installed 2.02b. I cannot find the libexec directory.
Where's the macros located?  Do I have to create them myself? I've
been checking the manual but I can't find a manual how to create macro
definitions (if it's done like that).
Please help

thank you
Philipp

You need to install the nagios-plugins package. In nagios' manual, in 
the section Installing Nagios, there is the paragraph

"Installing The Plugins

In order for Nagios to be of any use to you, you're going to have to 
download and install some plugins. Plugins are usually installed in the 
libexec/ directory of your Nagios installation (i.e. 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec). Plugins are scripts or binaries which 
perform all the service and host checks that constitute monitoring. You 
can grab the latest release of the plugins from the Nagios downloads 
page or directly from the SourceForge project page."

Of course, there are links in there.

Ok, I see your problem.

The solution I'd use would be a notification script which uses 
$HOSTNAME$ or -ALIAS$ to determine whom to notifiy. A simple shell 
script could do that.

Hope that helps.

Hi everyone,

  I'm new to this list and need a little bit of help.  I was able to install Nagios 1.2 with the plugins, and was able to make it work.  Now, the only thing is that Nagios is unable to create the status.log file in /var/spool/nagios/status.log.

  I've checked and nagios has the right permissions to write in the folder.  Proof is that it created a status.sav file automatically.  Now, when I go on the interface and look at the status of the process, I get this error:

Check Command Output:  Error: Cannot open status log for reading!

  I can understand that it can't read it since it doesn't exist, but would anyone have a clue as to why it doesn't want to create it?  Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Stephen

Well now infact i am using check_ping only and with that the threshold entry in the command is :
command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 450.0,20% -c 1200.0,95%


Still in host status it shows as following::

XXXX-XXXX  DOWN 03-14-2005 00:12:35 0d 3h 36m 48s PING CRITICAL - packet loss = 0%, RTA = 774.70 ms

here the host XXXX-XXXX is getting a loss of 0% and also the rta is only 774.70ms but still it is showing it as critical and also it shows the host down .

What may be the reason,b'cos at this time i have seen that in betn. there is loss to the host(about 5%) but that shuld not trigger this type of response from nagios.

Any suggestions.

Thanks.
Vivek

Host checks doesn't have the concept of "warning". It only has "up" or 
"down", meaning warning translates to non-OK, which translates to down.

Hosts are either up or down. There is no such thing as "warning" state 
for hosts. Any non-ok state translates immediately to "down".

Hi

While running some service check ,I am getting error messages on the
nagios web interfaces that some services are unknown .
Such as (Task Scheduler ,Event log, Windows Time,IPSEC Services,
Security Accounts Manager), it seems that with other services that have
only one word such as (Sever, Uptime..) I am getting a result .
My question is ,is there any special naming convention on these
particular services ?
Please advise
Thanks in advance

I believe he is refering to the patch tracking system in sourceforge for
the official plugins , he submitted several fixes/patches last month
under the request ID: 1143849

if you are unfamiliar with where this is goto:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/ 
then click on the patches  and you should see the reference ID in the

Good Luck

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] nagios gives unknown state - when monitoring
over WAN link

You can always try using NSCA  with a very large timout,  If you are
already using NSCA for other things on you system you may want to run a
second one on a non default port that way you can set the timeout
specifically to handle the large lag time.  When using NSCA you would
basically run plugins on the remote servers and gather the outputs, then
send all the outputs at once via the send_nsca.

Make sure you adjust your timeout of whatever plugin you are using if
you are getting timeout or no data received from host in your warnings.

Also you may want to change some of the service settings to prevent the
warnings Read through the nagios Documentation on what the different
service settings do.

Hope this helps 
Tony

Not sure if this is it, but when I experienced the same problem, or at 
least thought I had the problem, my setup was fine, I just had the 
system falsly configured to send out emails only after the check failed 
for a very extended period of time, without realizing.

I assume you're using the check_icmp plugin for this.

Time to live exceeded is what you get if
1) there are routing problems, causing packets to loop indefinitely 
between two nodes or two interfaces on the same node. The ttl value was 
introduced specifically to prevent this.
2) you have redundant routes to a host, and the "usual" route goes down 
while the secondary one is more than whatever default TTL is set on 
outgoing packets. You can try increasing the ttl value on outgoing 
packets using the -l flag to check_icmp. The maximum value is 255.

> 2.) Secondly I am not getting any notification mails from the monitor.
> 

This is a configuration issue. It is impossible to give detailed help 
without detailed error info.

i have a similar layout and i created "hosts" for each vlan where the
hos= t=20 check is just a ping of the admin interface for the switch.
if the switc= h=20 goes down, all the vlans go down too.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Hosts notifications (not services)

Hi,

I would like to use hosts contact_groups notifications and not services
contact_groups notifications.

I've defined contact_group for each host (no contact_group for
services).

But when I check the configuration, I've got a lot of warnings messages
like this one :

Warning: Service 'SMTP' on host 'myserver'  has no default contact
group(s) defined!

And with this configuration, I don't receive any notifications. What
could be the problem ?

Kind regards,

David.

Message-ID: <20050314061450.8785.qmail@web52004.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi

I've installed nagios in "/usr/local/nagios/" but the
directory "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/" is not getting
created and so while running
"/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg" the error is coming
as "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping: No such file
or directory"

Can anyone please help in this regard,

Thanking you,

Hi,

>From your description it sounds as though you are using a plugin to
check Windows Services.   If you are using NS_client it does not
accept the descriptive names of the services, it only accepts the
short names. (the names in your are describing are the descriptive
display names)
You can always try NC_Net, it accepts both descriptive and short service names.

By the way if you open up a service  properties in the service control
management window in Windows it will list the service name followed by
the descriptive display name and the service's description.

good luck 
Tony

Uh! RPMs... did you verify where the RPMs has extracted themselfs? 
Perhaps they just extracted in another directory than 
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec".

In that case just copy the entire libexec directory to your Nagios base 
directory OR change your configs with the right libexec dir OR install 
all again from the sources and decide yourself where you want to have 
Nagios ;)

On a redhat box, the plug-ins are installed in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins.
Another point : you should uninstall them and re-install the up to date rpm 
(not alpha1 release).

This is quite impossible to calculate, as all networks are widely 
individual. If you do a lot of SNMP checks, or check ftp downloads with 
large files, you'll quite naturally get a higher impact on the network. 
If you check a lot of cpu-heavy things over strong encryption tunnels 
you will quite naturally affect the performance of the monitored nodes.

As always, each admin will have to find their own way to achieve a 
nicely balanced equilibrium. This generally sorts itself out, as it's 
usually very simple to see which checks wreak havoc in the network and 
simply disable them if the impact is too great.

Hi everyone,

  I've been setting up Nagios 1.2 for the last week, but more and more I
hear about people using the 2.02 version.  My setup will be in a
critical production environment, and will be monitoring many devices.
Is it wise for me to think about implementing the 2.02b?  I usually
don't give a thought to beta versions but I've heard many talking about
using that one...  What are you thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Stephen

Subject: statusmap.cgi compilation on HPUX 11i
Message-ID: <OF7590C627.B3E16BF5-ONC1256FC4.004110D2-C1256FC4.00437083@dcx.dcx>

Hi Folks,

on my HPUX 11i  the compilation of statusmap.cgi fails while the following 
error occurs:

*** GD, PNG, and/or JPEG libraries could not be located... *********

My /etc/local/lib directory looks like this:

-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys         219288 Sep 20 14:50 libjpeg.a
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys            473 Sep 20 14:50 libjpeg.la
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root       sys         192512 Sep 20 14:50 libjpeg.sl
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys         225768 Jan 14 13:06 libpng.a
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root       sys            677 Jan 14 13:06 libpng.la
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root       sys         200704 Jan 14 13:06 libpng.sl
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys         225768 Jan 14 13:06 libpng12.a
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root       sys            687 Jan 14 13:06 libpng12.la
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root       sys         200704 Jan 14 13:06 libpng12.sl
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys         323684 Jan 13 16:28 libgd.a
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys            880 Jan 13 16:28 libgd.la
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root       sys         299008 Jan 13 16:28 libgd.sl
...

Also present are the header files within the include directory. So any 
files necessary for compilation should be present in my opinion.

My configure command looks like this.
./configure --prefix=/opt/nagios --with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin 
--with-htmurl=/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-grp=nagios 
--with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include

Although the library path is explicitely providen, the compilation fails.

There is a following statement can be found within the error message:

NOTE: After you install the necessary libraries on your system:
      1. Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf has an entry for the directory in
         which the GD, PNG, and JPEG libraries are installed.
      2. Run 'ldconfig' to update the run-time linker options.
      3. Run 'make clean' in the Nagios distribution to clean out
         any old references to your previous compile.
      4. Rerun the configure script.

Unfortunately there is no ldconfig present on my system. In my opinion it 
should work anyway. However, i am quite new to HPUX so i can be wrong.

Got someone nagios on HPUX running?

Would anyone maybe can help me? Many thanks in advance!

On systems other than *BSD and GNU/Linux, libraries usually get 
installed in weird paths.

This is definitely a weird path, even for HPUX. /etc is considered the 
system wide configuration directory on all unices.

You most likely are. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or something, it's been 
deprecated on modern systems for a loong time) holds the equivalence of 
/etc/ld.so.conf.

I think not. I know some people have it running on solaris, but with a

Get some linux or *bsd dist installed and start poking around with it. 
HPUX isn't exactly the most common and developerfriendly platform 
around, so you'll most likely keep running into issues like this with a 
lot of opensource things.

Subject: Regular Expression Matching
Message-ID: <20050314123549.GA8419@nepomuk.ps-private.lan>

Hello,
I am using Nagios 2.0b2 and I am having problems with the regular
expression support. What I would like to do is for instance:

- check all hosts abc-.* except abc-10 and abc-11
- check all hosts .* but not if the name contains xyz

I tried several combinations (with both use_regexp_matching and
use_true_regexp_matching) but couldn't make it work. The documentation
does not cover these things in detail so I would be very grateful if
somebody could give me a hint or an example.

Besides that I want to thank everybody who contributes to Nagios, it
is a great tool. Regards,

Philipp

It's fairly stable and should work out well. The last couple of CVS 
commits have basically been aimed at documentation fixes and spelling 
errors in comments.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Of course there was a mistake.

It is not /etc. It is /usr .. so the directory listing is from 
/usr/local/lib .. seems to be correct?

Anyway, the installation on Linux works fine, also anything so far except 
those cgis on HPUX. :/

HPUX isn't exactly the most common and developerfriendly platform

You're in a difficult situation, then.
Because you get exactly the same warranties for 1.2 as for 2.0b - none. 
As you heard, 2.0b _is_ used by many people, and afaik there are not 
more complaints concerning reliability or stability than for 1.2. So, 
it's up to you - or pay someone :-)

Subject: problems with web interface
Message-ID: <E1DAsT2-0001WY-G6@sc8-sf-mx2.sourceforge.net>

Hi,

                      Nagios v1.2 installed from source tarballs.
Configured, up and running. But there is problem with web interface. 

                      Tactical overview very often shows: 0 Down 0
Unreachable 0 Up 0 Pending, but there are ~20 hosts configured!

                      Also other menus often show there are no hosts
described, sometimes it says " you do not have permission to view
information" .. after F5 (refresh) everything goes OK, I can see all the
hosts with their status.

The only menu, that shows all the configured hosts for monitoring is "Status
Map". But the hosts are painted in grey color and the pop-up shows "Host
status information not found". After few F5's I can see the real picture.

                      Host, service notifications are OK, I can receive them
by e-mail.

                      What can I do to correct this problem? Spent already
24 hours without any luck.. Heelp:)

You have multiple instances of nagios running (can someone please put 
this in a FAQ which new list-users are pointed to?). It happens from 
time to time with 1.2 (and apparently with 2.x as well, according to 
recent findings by Stanley Hopcroft).

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios

Behavior such as this is most commonly caused by having multiple nagios
daemons running at the same time all trying to write to the same status
file. Stop nagios, verify that all processes are stopped (kill any that
remain) and restart nagios.

Subject: Version 2.0.2b Status.log problem
Message-ID: <eb4dce4e050314090360e0569d@mail.gmail.com>

I have installed Nagios version 2.0.2b on one of our servers and it is
working fine. I am now moving to an other server and setting it up.
Compiled it from source, adjusted the config files and all the
host/services files. When nagios starts it is working partially.
Config can be viewed, Event Log also but not the most important part:
the CGI's of the hosts, services etc

I get an Error: Could not read host and service status information! error

After studiyng what is going on it appaers that with the start of the
nagios command the status.log file get's removed and is not created
again.

When I manually copy the status.log file from the other server to it's
place and reload the webinterface then everything appaers in the
window, but it does not work.

Something with the CGI's. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this
problem????

 From my experience: Wait some time here...

... and here as well.

> service nagios start

I've had the problem of multiple instances arising just when I did a 
/etc/init.d/nagios restart after a configuration change, and finally, 
after some checking with ps, (I never looked into the source) I think 
that some forked instances, waiting for plugin execution, remain running 
sometimes and can screw up the status file.

If I wait long enough to allow all plugins to time out so that the 
IO-waiting nagios processes can die everything's all right.

Subject: soft state turns to hard state after a delay
Message-ID: <4235D080.2020409@echotech.ch>

Hello,

Right now I am evaluating Nagios for an extensive use within our 
company. I have a question about soft/hard state transformation.

On the page:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/statetypes.html
I read:
Hard states occur (...) (w)hen a service check results in a non-OK state 
and it has been (re)checked the number of times specified by the 
</max_check_attempts/> option in the service definition.

Would it be possible to specify a time period allowed for the service to 
recover instead of a number of checks? For example, I would like to let 
a service (such as apache) try to recover from its own during 30min 
before warning the administrator. Is that possible (ideally without 
tweaking the </max_check_attempts/> and the delay between checks)?

Thanks for your responses :-D !

Matthias

Hi everyone,

 

            I have multiple sites and will be implementing them in my
setup in the next few weeks.  I've read that Nagios does distributed
monitoring, which would fit my needs perfectly.  Anyone know where I
could get more information on how to set this up?  All I've found so far
is pretty vague...

 

Cheers!

The documentation on implementing distributed monitoring is pretty
comprehensive. What documentation sources have you been looking at? Is
this not the type of distributed setup you are contemplating?

My bad... I jumped over that section by accident.  Sorry, I'll look more

The documentation on implementing distributed monitoring is pretty
comprehensive. What documentation sources have you been looking at? Is
this not the type of distributed setup you are contemplating?

You can't do that specifically with config options but you could
probably submit a scheduled downtime external command for the service.
That definitely feels like a hack though.

The combination of max_check_attempts and retry_check_interval are there
specifically for this purpose. What is nagios supposed to be doing
during this recovery time in your scenario? Is it checking the service
or are you going to just show it down for 30 minutes without checking to
see if it's recovered during that period. Using the combination of
normal_check_interval, retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts
allows for a lot of flexibility. For example, there are several ways to
meet your scenario --

normal_check_interval 5 ;check every 5 minutes by default
retry_check_interval  30 ; wait 30 minutes between checks when not OK
max_check_attempts    2 ; alert after the second non-OK check result

normal_check_interval 5 ;check every 5 minutes by default
retry_check_interval  10 ; wait 10 minutes between checks when not OK
max_check_attempts    4 ; alert after the 4th non-OK check result

normal_check_interval 5 ;check every 5 minutes by default
retry_check_interval  3 ; wait 3 minutes between checks when not OK
max_check_attempts    11 ; alert after the eleventh non-OK check result

As this is the only reason for the retry_check_interval and 
max_check_attempts to exist, I see no reason why you would possibly want 
to do it witouth tweaking them.

Set retry_check_interval to 2 and max_check_attempts to 15, and you're 
good to go.

If you absolutely cannot stand tweaking those two variables (why, oh 
why?!) there is still a way out. Read up on escalations. It's in the docs.

Subject: Problem with UNREACHABLE host
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0503141336280.6840@mail.asc.edu>

I am running nagios 1.2 on Cent-OS 3.3.

I recenly had a scenario where one of our DS3s went down and 40 or so
hosts went down all at once. Nagios did a good job showing that the main
nodes were down and their children were unreachable. My problem is when
the circuit was restored all the hosts went from DOWN to UP alright but
one of the children hosts still showed UNREACHABLE. Its siblings all
changed back to UP and they have the exact same parents (two parents).
I only have one service configured for the trouble host and its
siblings ,cehck_ifstsatus (modified). After the host was reachable
apparently this service was still CRITICAL which nagios showed correctly 
but it never
changed its host status back to UP. Is there an obvious reason for this?

Thanks,

Hello,

I have been using nagios for a while now and it is a great tool. Today some posed the question, with nagios could you log the SNMP status.

Now I don't think that nagios can do this, but would it be possible to pass the SNMP status to something like cricket ?  (cricket.sourceforge.net)

Thanks.

Subject: Tuning Question
Message-ID: <1110844626.17007.20.camel@mediis>

I have a tuning question for Nagios 1.2. 

I'm currently migrating my core nagios server from a SUN V210 to a SUN
V280R and I'm finding the check latency to be worse on the 280 than the
210 (the opposite of what I expected). Whenever I force a check through
the web interface the latency factor is about 60 seconds on the 210 and
about 300 seconds for the 280. Both servers were built the same way with
the same configurations (OS and Nag).

Is there some way I can speed up the scheduling queue? I have already
set the reaper frequency to 1 and max concurrent checks to 900 with no
noticeable result. 

I'm checking 3500 services and 280 "hosts" (some are virtuals). 

Another question would be, am I asking a moot question because of my
platform choice? Because of GCC and compile options would I be better
off with a Linux based server?

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: NC_Net v2.21
Message-ID: <c4515bfd050314020421f3528f@mail.gmail.com>

The newest version of NC_Net has been updated to both the official
NC_Net website and Nagiosexchange.

Changes include:
--added command ENUMCOUNTERDESC -- Displays the Detailed description
of what a perfomance counter or catagory does.
--added command WMICOUNTER - can run a WMI query (syntex like
WMICHECK) then parses results against -w and -c values
--Really Fixed Event Log check returns OK when no entries found and -w
-c not specified.
--IF SEnd_NSCA fails then failover to testrun (user can force
automatic restart of the send_NSCA from passive.cfg see comments in
passive.cfg),
--Addded debuglog rotation 
--Added save backup of config files to both start and stop of the service 
--Added more timestamps to passive.log

http://shatterit.com/nc_net/
Updating to the newest version is not neccisary for all users. There
have been  improvements throught the development, however these
improvements might not be significant enough based on individual usage
of NC_Net.   Anyone still using version 1.X is advised to upgrade if
using COUNTERS (Performance counter check) due to a update that fixed
the issue with counters returning a 0 when an average was anticipated.

The next version of NC_Net will include verifying IP address source
before processing the request from a active check

Subject: Trouble with embedded perl: nagios keeps forking perl plugins
Message-ID: <E1DB08N-00023B-JZ@sc8-sf-mx2.sourceforge.net>

Dear list:
 
I have re-compiled nagios 1.2 embedded perl and perl cache:
$ ./configure  --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-grp=nagios
--prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-default-perfdata --enable-embedded-perl
--with-perlcache
 
Nagios binary grew up from 232 K to 1.2 M, so I guess perl interpreted is
now embedded in nagios, but all the plugins are still forked from the nagios
process (I can see several "perl -w xxx.pl" in the processlist). Load
average and plugin lattency didn't got better.
 
?Must I do something to enable it? I hope you can help.
 
 
Thanks!

Looks like there is a limitation on the amount of info in the Status 
information column in service detail page. I am writing a plug-in that 
needs to provide more info and also include some HTML tags. I see that 
nagios is cutting off at some point. Is it something that can be changed?

This is in common/objects.h.  1024 works fine. I have probably 10

I can confirm this. I notice the problem is very bad when I enable the 
SNMP checks I am using- I suspect that the forked nagios processes don't 
exit properly on receiving a standard kill signal.

IME this takes a few seconds, even with the -9.

Marc Powell and you are right, I must be fool not to use these config 
options.

However, I wonder whether these are still working for a service 
passively checked?

Anyway, thx for your help :-)

</path/to/nag/bin>nagios -m will also tell you if Perl is embedded in 
the Nag binary (for 1.x only).

You should check that the Nag you are running has responds like

tsitc> ./nagios -m

This shouldn't be happening (are these the Perl plugins you have defined 
in checkcommands.cfg ?).

With ePN (embedded Perl Nagios) there is no difference in the rate of 
forking of Nagios than without embedding, but instead of exec'ing the 
plugin binary (and likewise loading and forking Perk), the Nag child 
process calls a function

perl_call_pv("Embed::Persistent::run_package", G_EVAL)

to run the previously compiled plugin.

(FWIW, the Nagios process must split the processing between the Nag 
daemon - which compiles and caches the Perl plugin - and the child 
processes which call the function corresp to the previously compiled 
plugin [the plugin name is passed via the Perl stack prior to 
perl_call_pv])

Do your plugins contain a shebang line ?

Nag looks for '/bin/perl' in the plugin source to decide if the plugin 
is Perl ?

Are you using the standard plugins that were properly installed ?

I find the ePN helps considerably with Perl plugin performance.

However there is a bad tradeoff in an unacceptable (for many)  memory 
leak. 

Unfortunately this is unlikely to get fixed any time soon.

The only way of nailing this, or any plugin/Nag problem, is by building 
a Nag with debug options and running it in a sandpit.

See also ./configure --help.

Subject: Status Map and Services
Message-ID: <loom.20050315T094848-539@post.gmane.org>

Hello,
I'm currently using Nagios 1.2 on a Redhat box, without any problem, but I 
have one question about the Staus Map behaviour : when a service goes WARNING 
or CRITICAL, nothing happens on the status map (still green, as soon as the 
host is UP).
Is it a normal behaviour ?
Is there a way to propagate the status of the services on the map ?

Thanks with anticipation for your help.

Are you actually asking opensource developers to take part in creating a

Yes, I can understand that it would be convenient if your future 
prospects contacted you immediately, and that they can help you very 
much by becoming customers and constituting a test-base. Again, are you 
really asking people to sacrifice their spare time free of charge so 
that you can make money?

That's because processes might be stuck in uninterruptable IO (read() 
called on empty pipes, f.e.). The signal is queued until the process 
goes interruptable again, so it's safe to restart nagios without waiting 
those extra seconds because the old processes have no chance to 
interfere with the new ones.

It's in linux/kernel/signal.c for those who wants to check it.

You're using Nagios 1.x macros with Nagios 2.x. They've changed, so you 
need to make changes accordingly in your notification commands.

Subject: Web Interface for config
Message-ID: <47F14DDBBE26B54892091AD9AAC5BF4A0A5EED@optimus.Pre2Post.local>

Hi everyone,

 

  Well, I finally have Nagios-2.0b2 running, and it's running fine.
I've configured my hosts/services by hand so far, and now I'm looking
for a web interface for later on, to add other hosts.  I've looked at
Nagiosweb, Nagat and Nagmin, but all of them seem to be having issues
and lacking in doc.  Which one would you recommend, or do you know of
another one?

 

  I've noticed that Nagiosweb seems to pick up its information from
MySQL, but have no idea on how to tell Nagios to put it there, unless I
misunderstood the way it's working...  I'm looking around right now, but
I thought I'd ask for your opinions since I'm sure not all of you
configure it by hand :-)  

 

Thanks!

 

Stephen

Yes, those options work the same for active or passive checks, kinda. If
you have a remote nagios daemon sending back the results then it will of
course respect all three (normal_check_interval, retry_check_interval,
and max_check_attempts), presuming they're configured the same on the
remote nagios host. If you have some other process sending the results
back then of course nagios has no control over normal_check_interval
_or_ retry_check_interval but it will wait for max_check_attempts before
alerting...

Salut,

My boss was wondering about this also. :)  The states shown on the status map are the Host states - so unless the Host is down entirely, you're going to see "UP" underneath each node.  I do not know of any easy way to change that behaviour, but then again, I have not looked too hard.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Status Map and Services

Hello,
I'm currently using Nagios 1.2 on a Redhat box, without any problem, but I 
have one question about the Staus Map behaviour : when a service goes WARNING 
or CRITICAL, nothing happens on the status map (still green, as soon as the 
host is UP).
Is it a normal behaviour ?
Is there a way to propagate the status of the services on the map ?

Thanks with anticipation for your help.

I am running nagios-2.0b2 on solaris 9, when I use some nagios plug-ins, I
got error messages on "Service Status Details" page:

check_icmp deals with raw sockets and must be setuid root.
chown root:root check_icmp
chmod 4755 check_icmp

Thanks fot your response, I change 2 macros in my misccommands.cfg file :

$OUTPUT$ --> $SERVICEOUTPUT$ and $HOSTOUTPUT$
$DATETIME$ --> $LONGDATETIME$

But I still have the same problem.... !

And another problem : I had recently move all my configuration files from
another server to my new one and I comment some services in the services.cfg
file to stop their check by nagios, but I still receive email notifications
about these services in my mailbox !

Best regards,

Davy Gaussen.

 Hi,

 you have to define your users and their email addresses in the contacts.cfg
 file, the you define the contactgroups.cfg, and when you define a services
 in services.cfg,
 configure the contactgroup to notify by this line :

 #define service{
 # use generic-service
 # host_name R-CiscoBE
 # service_description Etat de la memoire
 # is_volatile 0
 # normal_check_interval 5
 # check_period 24x7
 # contact_groups nagios-admins             //contactgroup to notify the
 problems
 # notification_options c,w,r                     // notify for recovery,
 warning and critical state
 # check_command check_snmp_mem!public!95!99

This seems to come up an awful lot, and it will only increase as
check_icmp gains popularity.

Andreas, would it be possible to add a bit of code that would
check for the UID, and if it's not being run with root perms,
say something like "Needs root privs" or something that gives
a little more insight?  It might head off some of these repetitive
questions...

Just a thought.  :)

I was just thinking about this last night.
I was just going to hack the Makefile to do it for me on install.

If only I knew what I was doing with the Makefile (well, Makefile.in.  I
know that much :))

Ooh, or, to be really classy = have a configure flag that says to do it
(for the paranoid).

That I *really* don't know how to do. :)

Did you restart nagios or, at least, reload the configuration?

Subject: What are the default values for certain fields?
Message-ID: <3d2eb72a050315080872527ab0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all, working on Fruity, and I've got a big question.

For the fields that are optional in both host and service definitions,
what are the default values that nagios uses?

Anyone know of a reference I can check to see?

Thanks!

Taylor

Use the source, Luke. I believe most of them only take effect if they 
are set, so defaults don't apply.

You could, but for larger installations - you don't.  Most SNMP and 
Cricket in particular, like to get their data on the interval. They can 
compensate, but you'd rather not do too much of that.

Also the SNMP engine in Cricket is much better at consolidating all the 
requests to a target.  Nagios does not do that.

Indeed it does.
You should check the manual concerning the retention file, and probably 
also the schedule retention.

And, of course, having multiple nagios instances running is *always* 
annoying and might lead to all sorts of funny results :-)

Try
nagios stop
sleep 10
killall nagios
sleep 10
killall -9 nagios
sleep 10
nagios start

or something alike - does wonders here ;-)

Ahh, I see... Regardless, though, I think this messes up the status file 
or config cache in some way, as when this happens I can sometimes still 
see objects I have removed from the configs prior to the restart.

Hello-
I have numerous services that are dependent upon Oracle being up, as many
of you probably do as well. Is there a way to specify that service1 through
serviceN are all dependent in a single "servicedependency" entry rather
than having to write N entries? I tried simply listing all of my dependent
services (on each host) on a single "dependent_service_description" line,
but Nagios doesn't like that. Thanks in advance, Robert

Message-ID: <1E5AE66E5DB88D49B7F555E9887EDCD305CE0751@norcalex1.norcalmutual.com>

I'm having problems using check_email_loop.pl. I have it running, ver
1.1, and it works great for a while, but then I start getting warnings
about lost e-mails.  I never seem to have a problem with pending
e-mails.
 
WARNING: 1 mails on POP3, 1 mail(s) came back, 0 pending, 18 lost.
 
The ID's for the lost emails are in the stat file.  When the warning
occurs, I check the email loop manually, and it works fine.  I've check
to make sure that items are not queued on the internal server.  I've
confirmed that spam filters are not catching the items.
 
Here's my command line:
 

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_email_loop_comcast.pl
-poph=mail.comcast.net -pa=xxxxxxxx -popu=xxxxxxxx -smtph=x.x.x.x
-from=nagios at norcalmutual.com -to=xxxxxxxx at comcast.net
<mailto:-to=xxxxxxxx at comcast.net>  -lostw=10 -pendw=10 -lostc=20
-pendc=20 -statfile=/usr/local/nagios/etc/email.stat

Could this be a timing issue?  Once an item is declared lost, does the
script ever clean up after itself or clear the stat file?
 
Any ideas would be appreciated.

There?s another tool called Fruity or something.. It was posted awhile back
on the list... Ah, here it is;

http://fruity.nakedgeek.com/

Not sure how well it works. I?ve used nawui in the past for 1.x
configurations, and it works reasonably well. I?ve not had to do anything
with 2.0 yet, so I don?t know what other tools are available, or what the
quality of them are.


As for getting Nagios information into MySQL, it?s specified at compile
time. Again I haven?t worked with 2.x, but I?d assume it?s much the same.
./configure ?help in the toplevel source tree should provide the info you
need to enable it.

So, you look for people who do your work now and really really seriously 
promise to pay them when you start earning money?

It might have been better had you not answered to Andreas' mail...

Oh, fine.

Actually, I wouldn't think in terms of bad guy /good guy. Rather, I'd 
talk about exploiting people, unclear business proposals, and some other 
things.

I have read the documentation about who has permissions on executing 
commands to the service.   I have a application administrator that does 
not have UNIX administrative authority but still needs to see some of the 
others services and be notified if the hosts goes down. 

I added the user to receive host notifications and to be able to perform 
service actions on their own services.  By giving them host, I give them 
all rights to all services on the hosts.

Is there away to allow them only view to the services that I didn't 
specifically add to be contact for that host?  I would also like to be 
able to send notifications of host up/down/resolve.

To resolve the host notifications portion, I believe I can accomplish this 
by adding an entry to host escalations.  I'm not sure on the service view 
portion. Suggestions?

I am running NC_Net client v2.21 on Windows 2000 and running Nagios v1.2
on RedHat 8 and I keep receiving the same 2 errors every time Nagios
runs the check_nc_net command.  I get multiple entries of each error,
for each check Nagios is doing I presume.  But the checks come up OK
with values in Nagios, so it's not erroring out.  I have configured the
startup.cfg to run only active checks at this time (for testing
purposes).  I have set all (I believe - on all 3 windows servers and
nsca.cfg in Nagios) encryption for XOR, its default.

Hello,

I have been going through the documentation and add-ons for Nagios.
Perfpase seems to be able to provide graphs and stats on performance
data from Nagios and store the data in a mysql database.

If so why you use nagiosgrpah or nagiosstats ?


Michael.

Does anyone find the sounds for service/hosts problems helpful?  I was 
trying it and I found it more annoying then helpful.  Every time I click 
on anything under the "Monitoring" section except for the status-maps, I 
get a sound.  I always have at least 1 service in a non-normal condition.

It would be nice if the sounds would only make a noise once for every 
event.  Or it was based upon who is logged and their 
notification/escalation configuration.  Or Only be available under the 
Tactical Overview screen.  Just some thoughts.

Otherwise, you are notified for an event every time you click on one of 
those.  The default refresh rate of 90 seconds will also produce a sound.

This is an English only listserv, please. While this is all interesting, I'm sure that there will be many strong opinions about your project and your desire for assistance in creating your company, resulting in much chatter on this listserv. I would suggest that you create a listserv dedicated to your project as this one is dedicated to the installation, configuration, troubleshooting and general use of Nagios.

Thanks!

Well, my french is alittle rusty to say the least, but your few english 
sentences do sound much better.

Message-ID: <9420FA2DC415D64DB29D1D9D7C3E1D5B999789@mmgrey02.boral.com.au>


Hi,



Is there any way to export the nagios data to be able to generate
customized reports?  There are 2 particular reports that I've got in
mind.



MTBF - Mean Time Between Failure.  What is the average time between each
host/service failure for a particular hostgroup?  I.e. Average length of
time that the status f each host is UP before going DOWN.

MTTR - Mean Time To Repair.  How long does it take for the status to
change from DOWN to UP on average?



Has anyone does this, or does anyone know how to do it?



Kind regards,

Nathan Webb

Sure it is - via snmp

The exact oid is .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.tcp.tcpCurrEstab,
otherwise known as .1.3.6.1.2.1.6.9 - The question would be whether the
host has an snmp agent on it though.

tcpActiveOpens or tcpPassiveOpens (counters not gauges) may be a better
bet in your environment, but this is where you should be looking.

You'll need to write a new one that logs in to the host and uses netstat

or lsof or something. You can't get this kind of info over the net.

I totally agree to you in that point...I tested the sounds for about 2
hours...every 90sec, when the tactical overview reloads you got a
beep...pretty annoying...

	Does anyone find the sounds for service/hosts problems helpful?
I was trying it and I found it more annoying then helpful.  Every time I
click on anything under the "Monitoring" section except for the
status-maps, I get a sound.  I always have at least 1 service in a
non-normal condition. 
	
	It would be nice if the sounds would only make a noise once for
every event.  Or it was based upon who is logged and their
notification/escalation configuration.  Or Only be available under the
Tactical Overview screen.  Just some thoughts. 
	
	Otherwise, you are notified for an event every time you click on
one of those.  The default refresh rate of 90 seconds will also produce
a sound.

Hi Everydody,

I am looking for plugins to monitor an IBM OS/400. To be more specific : have informations about QSYSOPR, free space on disks, CPU load, Jobs, etc....

I already found a plugin wrote to parse the result of telnet sessions, but I am more interested by do that in SNMP. But what are the OIDs to check on a OS/400 (V5R2) ? Can I do that with the default OID or do I have to install a specific MIB on the system ?

Thanks by advance
Regards,

Davy Gaussen

Hi Bagus,

Yes, you can monitor switchs by SNMP for example. You can try the
check_traffic plugin, it uses rrdtool to have performances graph on the
selected ports.
You can make a regular ping to verify the state of your equipment. And all
the infos, collisions, CRC errors, etc.... are available by SNMP depending
the model of switch you want to monitor.

For telnet use the check_tcp plugin, for example :

# Service definition for checking if telnet is open
#define service{
#use generic-service
#host_name Whatever
#service_description Check Telnet
#is_volatile 0
#check_period 24x7
#contact_groups nagios-admins
#notification_options c,r
#check_command check_tcp!23
#}

make a ./check-tcp -h to have infos to how use this plugin. It can do a lot
of things.

PS : if you are french me too !!! It can help for your problems in english

Davy.

Hi all !

I never have used before ext commands via CGI, until today.

Now, I' like to use some of them, like :
- Add a new comment
- Disable/enable notifications
- ....
but, when I try to use them , I receive this error message:

Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!
The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or
Nagios may not be checking external commands.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.

File nagios.cmd has these permissions:
prw-rw----   1 nagios     nagios           0 Mar 16 09:18 nagios.cmd

Any ideas?
Regards

Marco

A Newbie question : does the sound play on the "console" machine (Web 
Browser), or on the Nagios Host ?
Is there a mean to play them on the web console ?

Hello Dom.

I use sound via web because it can tell me if something is wrong.
I don't have to look at the webpage all the time. I can even be in the next
room.

It's an offer - use it for what you like or not at all....

I made a php page that ask the nagios website. On the php page is a total
status and an option for sound on/off.

/Thomas

The best way to find out what you can monitor might be a snmpwalk and 
reading the output.

Hi Everydody,
 
I am looking for plugins to monitor an IBM OS/400. To be more specific :
have informations about QSYSOPR, free space on disks, CPU load, Jobs,
etc....
 
I already found a plugin wrote to parse the result of telnet sessions, but I
am more interested by do that in SNMP. But what are the OIDs to check on a
OS/400 (V5R2) ? Can I do that with the default OID or do I have to install a
specific MIB on the system ?
 
Thanks by advance

Sure

- Check the path, then recheck, then again :-)
- Make sure the user who sends the commands is allowed to write to the 
command file:
drwxrwsr-x  2 nagios nagiocmd   .
drwxrwxr-x  4 nagios nagios     ..
prw-rw----  1 nagios nagiocmd   nagios.cmd
...and in group nagiocmd you have the users who, for example, run the 
web server or have to submit commands. That's the important point, I'd say.

The first thing to do when you receive an error message is to paste it
into google. Chances are high that you are not the first one who
received it. In this case you don't even have to click on any of the
links, because the solution is right in the synopsis of google's first
hit.

This error message should be changed to include the most common cause:
The CGI script has no permission to stat the file.

Hint: Which user and group are your CGI scripts running as?

Thanks, my understanding of this behaviour seems to be right one, but in this 
case I don't see any real interest in using the status map.
Other (related) question : do the "small lights" in front of each menu on the 
right change sometimes ? In my console, they are always green whatever the 
status of teh services.

Well,
I submit commands with "marco" user, that is inside of nagios group:
# id marco
uid=101(marco) gid=200(nagios) groups=20(users)

Moreover I add rx permissions to "other" for rw directory, but this should
be unusefull.

Message-ID: <9E6E8272B29AA64E85B686AE241F9BB6E598@SERV01.grovenetworks.com>

Need to schedule downtime for a host and it is driving me nuts.  What is the format for the downtime.log file?  Mine looks like so:

[1110962381] HOST_DOWNTIME;2;lnxboxen;1110962368;1110969568;1;7200;theman;test downtime

so how do I get 1110962381, 1110962368;1110969568; ?  I assume it is derived from date and concatenated?  Help much appreciated.

Best regards,

Hi Thomas,

Will this sound play once for each error, or every time, the page
reloads?
We have about 2500 Service checks, so there is always something wrong,
and I'm searching for an Sound Alarm, which only "bings" when there is a
new error accouring.

Who is "I"? If you mean you authenticated as "marco" to the webserver,
this is completely irrelevant. The CGI script will always run as the
same user as the web server or - if your web server is using suexec or a
similar mechanism - as the user it is configured to run.

Please:

* Read the docs.

* Read the archives of this list (that question is answered at least
  twice each month) and whatever else google shows.

* Read the configuration of your webserver (If you don't understand your
  webserver configuration, read the docs of your webserver, too).

I guess it would change the error message slightly.

Subject: solaris cgi segmentation fault
Message-ID: <opsnp5aan4netilt@mail.gmx.net>

Hi

I have nagios running on Solaris8 / Sparc / gcc 3.4.2.
Nagios core is running fine but the web interface makes some trouble. Two  
of the cgi's creates a segmentation fault:

- status.cgi  (just if it's called with parameter "style=hostdetail")
- statusmap.cgi

Does anyone have experience with this?

Daniel

Hello Sand Phillipp,

I have made two views i Nagios.

01 New Alarms - with these properties as below
(Host Properties: Not In Scheduled Downtime & Has Not Been Acknowledged &
Checks Enabled + Service Properties: Has Not Been Acknowledged)
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            

02 Known Alarms - with thes porpeties as below
(Host Status Types: All + Host Properties: Any + Service Status Types: All
Problems + Service Properties: Any)



The sound php page only asks for the 01-view. So after marking an alarm as
known it will disapear from the 01-view and only be present in the 02-view.

I use two kind of sounds critical and warning. The sound check is asking
the system every 5. minute so you don't get crazy or to stressed ;-)

/Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Will this sound play once for each error, or every time, the page
reloads?
We have about 2500 Service checks, so there is always something wrong,
and I'm searching for an Sound Alarm, which only "bings" when there is a
new error accouring.

It is not. It's unix time - seconds since 1970. You find more 
information in nagios' manual - the section "External Commands" is a 
good starting point.

The following script might be helpful:

Note that I'm not sure about the correct order of $child and $fixed - 
this works for me, and I didn't look up any further information in the 
source.

This is called sched_downtime

And using it like this:
sched_downtime goblin "`date -d "now + 5 min" "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"`" 
"`date "-d tomorrow 8:12"`" 1 0 0 bacula "goblin turns off until 
tomorrow morning..."
shutdown -h -t 120 +6 &

Gives the result you expect.

Of course: No warranties, GPL applies, etc. pp. The usual stuff.

Sounds good,

Could you please tell me the link for view 01? I don't know where I can review the necessary cgi options for that... Is there some place where you can look at which options suite for which cgi?

Thanks,

Hello Philipp Sand,


In the nagios directory make a copy of side.html to side.html.org

Then edit the side.html in Nagios and insert these lines.

<td width=11><img src="images/greendot.gif" width="11" height="12"
name="svcproblems-dot"></td>
<td nowrap><a
href="/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&style=hostdetail&hostprops=42&servicestatustypes=248&serviceprops=8"
 target="main" onMouseOver="switchdot('svcproblems-dot',1)"
onMouseOut="switchdot('svcproblems-dot',0)"class="NavBarItem">New
Alarms</a></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<td width=11><img src="images/greendot.gif" width="11" height="12"
name="svcproblems-dot"></td>
<td nowrap><a
href="/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=248"
target="main" onMouseOver="switchdot('svcproblems-dot',1)"
onMouseOut="switchdot('svcproblems-dot',0)"class="NavBarItem">AcKnowledged
Alarms</a></td>

Test it.

It's has been done for a long time ago so you might have to fiddle a bit
with it.

Just to be sure about the location of your problem. I suppose that
NRPE is working properly with other check_*. Is it? Have you tried a
check_disk command or other ones?

Subject: wrong readings given by nagios
Message-ID: <20050316120930.21412.qmail@webmail10.rediffmail.com>

 ?Dear all,
         I am using following command to check service::

command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 450.0,40% -c 1000.0,98%


I think this means give a warning when the loss goes to 40% with latency upto 450ms
and give the status as critical when loss is 98% over latency 1000

but still it shows it like this::

HYD-CORE check_ping WARNING 03-16-2005 17:27:36 0d 0h 8m 5s 2/3 PING WARNING - Packet loss = 28%, RTA = 147.91 ms  
 
HYD-MERADPALLY check_ping WARNING 03-16-2005 17:25:17 0d 0h 3m 12s 1/3 PING WARNING - Packet loss = 37%, RTA = 300.96 ms  
 
MUM-CORE check_ping WARNING 03-16-2005 17:21:44 0d 0h 6m 45s 1/3 PING WARNING - Packet loss = 44%, RTA = 55.74 ms  
 
MUM-NETMAGIC check_ping WARNING 03-16-2005 17:21:44 0d 0h 22m 48s 3/3 PING WARNING - Packet loss = 28%, RTA = 63.22 ms  
 
This shows that it is giving warning even when rta is less than 450ms and less than 40% loss


My requirement is for 100% loss only it should show it as critical but what latency should i keep then and also in the n/w the
latency can go upto anything like 1600ms also.Plz suggest b'cos i want reports of a service going totally down and nothing else.

I have seen service shows down even in losses in network.

Plz suggest.

Thanks & regards.
Vivek Sharma.

I have readen the docs when I installed all my environment (2 years ago),
but I did not understand what you explain to me in your sentence "The CGI

Now I solve the problem.

Subject: check_ping works fine from command line but cgi shows ping results
 as "unknown"
Message-ID: <42383C93.7020805@cdc.unrc.edu.ar>

Hi, I have the exact same problem running SuSE 9.1.

I can use ping and check_ping under the nagios user in command line but 
the cgi returns:
PING    UNKNOWN   ... /bin/ping -n -U -c 5 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Nagios 2.0b1 (tried 2.0b2 as well)
Plugins 1.4,
Dist: SuSE 9.1
uname -a:  Linux moni 2.6.5-7.147-default #1 Thu Jan 27 09:19:29 UTC 
2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

If anyone could solve this problem, please let me know.
Thanks!
------------------------

Dirk,
 
 have you tried running ping (or the plugin) as user nagios or as root?
 
 Probably it"s an access rights problem... IIRC Fedora activates selinux 
 enhancements and thus it might be necessary to change these to allow the 
 nagios user access to the network interface.
 
 Arno

Hi,

I had this problem to, try to install the nagios-plugins version 1.3.x, the
new ones have compatibilities issues with the ping command of some new
system.
It worked fine for me.

This is just my opinion.  I am have looked at all three.  Of the three, 
nagiosgraph was the easiest to implement for me.  I am trying to look at 
perfparse but I'm having difficulties with getting the requirements 
installed on the system.

Performance data stored in a database
Able to customize the fields, legends and titles, colors... easily

Hi Everyone, I seem to have installed nagios 1.2 to the /opt directory, the
system starts ok and I can see the nagios screen through apache running on
slackware 10.

 

Whenever I click on any of the monitoring buttons it comes up with requested
URL /opt/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi was not found on this server.

 

I have tried to find the setting in the config files, would appreciate any
hints.

 

Thanks

 

Yatindra

The sounds are issued from the status.cgi program.  This program is called 
when you select any of the following:

Nagios 2.x

 Service Detail 
 Host Detail 
 Hostgroup Overview 
 Hostgroup Summary

If you have one service in critical, you will get a sound every 90 seconds

Another related question...

Now all the users can perform external commands, but our policies do not
want to permit it.
I supposed that this could be possible only for users listed in cgi.cfg file
, in lines

# GLOBAL HOST/SERVICE COMMAND ACCESS
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin,marco
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin,marco

This is not true!

How can I implement these limits?

Thanks
Marco

Great!!!
Thanks Davy!
I unpacked and compiled the nagios-plugins 1.3.1 and extracted the 
check_ping into my libexec/ dir  and everything started to work again.

You _really_ need to give more than 2 hours for people to respond before
reposting. I would suggest a day or two. We're not a dedicated support
team and all have lives and responsibilities outside Nagios.

Subject: How do I send a notification to a specific group
Message-ID: <1110988996.23377.7.camel@mediis>

I want to send a notification that the oncall group is on call. I'm
doing this now through the command file and a passive service, where I
force a Non-OK state wait 2 seconds and put it back to OK

print NSCA "$hostname\t$service\t$return_code\t$primary is oncall
$secondary is your backup\n";

The problem is this will send out several notifications, for those who
want recovery notifications. Plus, because of my escalation procedures,
the backup is not notified because only one notification goes out.

Is there an actual SEND_NOTIFICATION function that I can use that will
just page out the oncall and the backup... without having to force
Non-OK states?

Well, the status map is "pretty", which means that managers like it a lot.  It's not of much serious interest to the administrators, but having one available (even in a limited capacity) makes sense.

It would be very interesting to see some development which makes the status map a little more useful; providing some indication of the service states would be very helpful.  Unfortunately, I'm probably not the right man for the job. ;)

Thanks, my understanding of this behaviour seems to be right one, but in this case I don't see any real interest in using the status map.
Other (related) question : do the "small lights" in front of each menu on the right change sometimes ? In my console, they are always green whatever the status of teh services.

There is not but that might be an interesting feature request. You're
obviously changing the oncall person through some external mechanism.
Can it be accomplished through that?

Almost, but not quite. The service will be in WARNING when the RTA is
between 450 and 999 ms _or_ the packet loss is between 40% and 98%. The
service will be CRITICAL when the RTA exceeds 1000 ms _or_ the packet
loss is 98% or greater.

Are you sure you're using the command above? Can you post the complete
command, service and host definitions for one of the hosts above
(HYD-CORE for example)? Was the command previously different than what
you have above? Do you have multiple nagios daemons running?

You should choose a latency that is acceptable on your network. I use a
critical latency of 1000ms because that indicates a significant problem
on my network but it sounds like you need a value that's much higher
than that (1600-2000ms possibly).

	I am running NC_Net client v2.21 on Windows 2000 and running

time Nagios runs the check_nc_net command.  I get multiple entries of
each error, for each check Nagios is doing I presume.  But the checks
come up OK with values in Nagios, so it's not erroring out.  I have
configured the startup.cfg to run only active checks at this time (for

When I try to setup services configuration, I have to set services one by
one for each machine, and if I have to setup 50 machines in one group, and
each of them has 10 services, then I have to define 500 services in
configuration file, am I using the right way?

I know I can use servicegroup:

define servicegroup{
	servicegroup_name	group1
	alias			group1 Services
	members			<host1>,<service1>,<host2>,<service2>,...,<hostn>,<servicen>
	}

but it still doesn't help much, Is there an easy way, for instance,
associate hostgroup and servicegroup together, if the machine is in this
hostgroup, then it would use this hostgroup's services setting, which can be
defined in servicegroup?

Thanks

Which version?

Wich 2.0, you can have one service definition and put more than one host 
in it.
Just what you want.

Servicegroup sounds like 2.0 to me...

Hi Everyone, I seem to have installed nagios 1.2 to the /opt directory,
the system starts ok and I can see the nagios screen through apache
running on slackware 10.

 

Whenever I click on any of the monitoring buttons it comes up with
requested URL /opt/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi was not found on this
server.

 

I have tried to find the setting in the config files, would appreciate
any hints.

 

Thanks

Has anyone created a plugin, or a technique using existing plugins, to check
Cisco HSRP?

 

I need to detect when HSRP has switched routes and detect other HSRP errors,
assuming there are any.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Well... I try your solution, and played a bit with it, but it does not work. It was a pretty good idear tough.

Nevertheless, I got some pretty cool information about Linux boot.

The first test I did is to start nrpe 5 minutes after the boot with the "at" command. [Failure]

After that I try to start nrpe last in the startup sequence. [Failure]
# ls /etc/rc.d/rc#.d/ -l
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 11 mar  1 11:41 S98local -> ../rc.local*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 14 mar  3 13:41 S99nrpe -> ../init.d/nrpe*

After that I try your solution (at the end of this message).

I got some pretty good information on Linux boot and learned a lot.

LC_CTYPE and all # locale can't seems to be changed during a bash file execution.
I looked at the locale before any change, during the change and after the changes. Nothing changes.
(even with manual entries such has LC_CTYPE=POXIS, or LC_ALL (witch does not work))

When I log on the machine, everything (LC_CTYPE, LANG, LC_TIME, etc) is "fr_CA" but during boot time it is "POSIX".

If you have another idear, tell me, I'll try it :)

or put nrpe last in startup sequence so as to emulate the re-start

Hi,
  We are having Nagios running on RedHat Linux. We are able to monitor the CPU, DISK and Memory statistics of Linux servers using the check_snmp plug-in. We are planning to use the same procedure for Solaris. Do we have to use different executables/OID for Solaris. Please let me know.

We are getting the following error for solaris

./check_snmp -H <host_name> -C <Community> -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.9.0,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.10.0,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.11.0

Mark,
definitely not starting a OS war here, no flame or kill but :
very recently i was stunned by the comparison of "the same" software on 
different platforms : (test were done on dedicated servers, with base-OS and 
no tuning)
throughput of commercial anti-spam/anti-virus/content-filtering software :
windows : 13 mails/min
linux 25 mails/min
solaris 7 mails/min
(the soft does not run on BSD, for those pulling their guns)
i think it was the number of available concurrent sockets available that made 
the difference - don't kill me on that. Apart for some test-servers, and a 
rare request for help,  i have no experience with solaris, but from what i 
can understand from the sunny-side of the road is that it is rock solid but 
slooooooow.
you might want to take the test and pop-in a linux box with same nagios 
config?

I ran into the same problem last night after upgrading to the 1.4 plugins on
a SUSE 9.1 box. The problem was an incorrect syntax for the ps command. The
./configure script creates config.h file. Before you run make, open config.h
and check down around line 690 for:
 
#define PS_COMMAND "/bin/ps -axwo 'stat uid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args'"
 
Remove the "-" in front of the args. Save the file and then run make. That
fixed the problem for me.

Dear Stanley,

Thank you very much for your reply.
Nag installation seems correct. I'll put some examples anyway:



Nagios binary:

$ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$
}
=================================================================



Part of the code...

=================================================================
#!/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec";
use utils qw(%ERRORS $TIMEOUT);
use Data::Dump qw(dump);

$SIG{'ALRM'} = sub

        print "ERROR: Alarm signal (Nagios time-out)\n";
        exit $ERRORS{"UNKNOWN"};
};

alarm($TIMEOUT);
=================================================================


>> Do your plugins contain a shebang line ?

Yes. It was #!/usr/bin/perl before you asked, but still I see Nag forking
and executing perl to run the plugins: 

# ps axuwww | grep perl | grep ping
nagios   21211  3.0  0.1  3008 1648 ?        R    01:21   0:00 /bin/perl -w

Didn't find find anything useful apart from a wrong path to my host-perfdata
log :/ 


Do you think I should try nagios 2 for a chage?
This is somehow silly, but do I have to include some special code on my perl
plugs? 



>> Acres of HTML deleted; please don't do this.
Sorry! Won't do it again.


Thank you very much again!!

Hi,

Is it possible to view all hosts/children (and maybe children of the children) of a host via the web interface execpt on the status map?
When there is one or more Network Outage, I want to know, which hosts are directly/indirectly affected by which outage. I know the Link "Show Host and it's Children on Status Map" but our Status Map is so crowded, that I don't see nothing on it :-/

Help appriciated,
Thanks in advance,

Subject: nagios 2.0b2 and status map
Message-ID: <aec066bc050317004234632ba2@mail.gmail.com>

I'm agree with you.
I have installed nagios 2.0b2 and the only problem I have it's to see
the status map.
After installing and compiling tha graphics packets, now  I only see
the page of status map  in blank, showing  me a message:

'You have not supplied any host drawing coordinates, so you cannot use
this layout method. Read the FAQ's for more information on specifying
drawing coordinates or select a different layout method'

Firstly, in the cgi.cfg I have indicate in the parameter
'default_statusmap_layout=5', which indicates Circular (Marked up)
layout, so, Nagios don't have to request me coordinates.

Secondly, in the box drawing layers there is nothing!!!
In this box should be the hostgroups I have define and it doesn't appear...
Why happens that? Anybody knows?

Please let me konw....
Thanks 

Yolanda

Hi,

The 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 branch is only valid with Net-SNMP daemon. 

Which snmp server are you using on Solaris ?
Did you try the MIB-II OID for CPU instead (1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.X) ?

Objet : [Nagios-users] Nagios check_snmp issues for Solaris

Hi,
  We are having Nagios running on RedHat Linux. We are able to monitor the
CPU, DISK and Memory statistics of Linux servers using the check_snmp
plug-in. We are planning to use the same procedure for Solaris. Do we have
to use different executables/OID for Solaris. Please let me know.

We are getting the following error for solaris

./check_snmp -H <host_name> -C <Community> -o

How peculiar.

Here's what I see

bash-2.05a$ while [ 1 -eq 1 ]; do ps -auxw | grep '/nagios/libexec' |

The only references to Perl are either

1 one of my Perl plugins run manually to test the loop

2 check_by_ssh calling Perl code remotely.

I use a fair amount of Perl plugins (20 or more custom) with the mainly 
default check_interval so I think the loop would have detected any more 
fork + exec of Perl.

What happens when you run the above bash ?

Did you see messages like (Nag configured with --enable-DEBUG1 and run 
with a stripped config [only perl plugins running frequently])

#ifdef DEBUG1
                                        printf("embedded perl ran %s 
with error %s\n",fname,SvPV(ERRSV,PL_na));
#endif
                                        }
--
                                unlink(tmpfname);    
#ifdef DEBUG1
                                printf("embedded perl plugin output was 
%d,%s\n",pclose_result, plugin_output);
#endif

(from checks.c) ?

No. The Perl support is basically the same (and has been stable for a 
long time [with bugs unfortch]).

No. The ePN does that for you.

I am unlikely to be of any further help without some ideas.

Unless there is something unusual (as is obvious but what ?) I can't 
imagine why you are seeing your results.

(If you are patient, I could send you some code privately to emulate the 
ePN function outside of Nag but I am not sure it would help).

Yours sincerely.

Message-ID: <c4515bfd05031701312b0cfab7@mail.gmail.com>

The error is due to some communication issues with the active checks.
Most NC_Net errors print the error message received from windows after
the :

Are any active checks working,
for example can you issue a check_nt -v CLIENTVERSION from the command line?
or did NC_Net active checks get stuck in a bad loop during startup of NC_Net?

the default port for the active checks is 1248
the problem may be something else on the network also using that port,

If you are not using active check, (you are only using  passive checks
with NC_Net) then you can disable active checks in the startup.cfg
If you are using an older version of NC_Net please upgrade the older
code was using slightly different code in handling the socket. (I do
not think this would help with that particular error)
Since this is an active check, try a different port. (make sure to
test that the port is open and not in use by other applications.)

Good Luck
TOny

Subject: no /usr/local/nagios/etc/ folder,
Message-ID: <423957FD.60708@duclaux.net>

Dear Mailing list,

I've readen the docs and browsed the archives but i've not been able to 
find an answer to my question.
I've installed nagios (latest release, compiled from sources on a 
debian, woody) , i can see the web interface.

After the installation i couldn't see what is mentionned in the 
documentation about the /usr/local/nagios folder.
I only have bin, sbin, share and var folders.

I can't find my /etc folder.
I tried to find a file which normally should be placed under /etc.
I searched for contactgroups.cfg the result is:
/home/jeanjacques/nagios-1.2/sample-config/default-object/contactgroups.cfg
/home/jeanjacques/nagios-1.2/sample-config/template-object/contactgroups.cfg


if i do "locate nagios.cfg" i get
/home/jeanjacques/nagios-1.2/sample-config/nagios.cfg
/home/jeanjacques/nagios-1.2/sample-config/nagios.cfg.in

To be sure that the system database is updated i've made an updatedb but 
it doesn't change anything.


Is there a kind of install.log where i could know in which place the 
/etc folder would have been created ?

Should i create this floder manually and copy the sample-config files 
inside it ?


Best regards,

Jean-Jacques

Hi all

My environment is quite complex, specially regarding security policies.

I would use external commands via CGI interface, but I can not permit to ALL
nagios users.

My httpd have been started from www (unix user); putting this user in the
nagios group I permit to write the nagios.cmd file to everyone !

I need to limit this "write access" only to a unix/apache user only.

Is it possible? How?

I try to modify httpd.conf file, but .... I do not know how !

Thanks
Marco

Message-ID: <1111054929.4260.3.camel@e63576.site>

Hello, 

is it possible to change the check interval for a single service check?
I have several checks that monitor a TSM server that only need to be run
every hour or every day.

I only saw a configuration parameter that affects all service checks...

thanks in advance, 

Volker

Hi,

Maybe you use this directive in your service definition :
use generic-service

if you don't want to use the default check intervals defined in the generic
service, delete the "use generic-service line" and add the following :

normal_check_interval 60 ;Check the service every 60 mins
and all the parameters non-herited by the generic-service

Hi,

You just have to type this command at the nagios source directory :
#make install-config

like the INSTALLING file said..... RTFM :-)

ps : apparently you are installing the 1.2 release, the last one is the
2.0b2.

Betreff: [Nagios-users] change check-interval for a single service check


Hello,

is it possible to change the check interval for a single service check? I
have several checks that monitor a TSM server that only need to be run every
hour or every day.

I only saw a configuration parameter that affects all service checks...

thanks in advance,

Volker

Add only the admin-group to the according functions in "cgi.cfg" => only
users from the admin group are allowed to execute cgi-commands. 

Other groups/users may be added to the services directly, so that they can
view services and hosts.

The authorization for nagios-objects and functions is controlled by nagios,
only secondary by your webserver (your webserver only provides the
authentication-functionality)

Betreff: [Nagios-users] How limit external commands to no-admin users?



Hi all

My environment is quite complex, specially regarding security policies.

I would use external commands via CGI interface, but I can not permit to ALL
nagios users.

My httpd have been started from www (unix user); putting this user in the
nagios group I permit to write the nagios.cmd file to everyone !

I need to limit this "write access" only to a unix/apache user only.

Is it possible? How?

I try to modify httpd.conf file, but .... I do not know how !

Thanks
Marco

Message-ID: <BAY23-F159E9980F73CD72492A991B2490@phx.gbl>

I didn't want to have to install snmp,  and this is a pretty simple thing 
that reports that idle % of CPU.

I find it awesomely useful to obsess over it and the user count,  so that I 
can keep track of CPU usage per user,  and then apply that info to my 
capacity planning.....

I have tested it under several different unixes, too.   Open and FreeBSD,  
redhat, suse, and (bite my toungue!) SCO Openserver.  I Am guessing it 
wouldn't take but a tiny tweak to make work on any unix based box.    :-)


Cha!

Message-ID: <BAY23-F205E668843E436222ECE09B2490@phx.gbl>

Hi there!

I lost the hard drive in the monitoring server in one of my sites, and I 
took the opportunity to rebuild it on Fedora Core 3 with Nagios 2.02b.

There were a few minor hiccups, but after a little while I managed to find 
and correct the config differences, install the plugins, and away I went.

Everything seemed to just work brilliantly, except that I now get 
"check_http: Invalid option - SSL is not available"  as a status for my 
checking of my SSL enabled website.

I found an earlier post that suggested I needed to compile with a 
--with-openssl switch, so I went ahead and did this.  Wiped my Nagios and 
recompiled it. This gave me no joy, so I thought I that maybe they meant I 
should recompile my nagios-plugins with openssl.  Doing this also gave me no 
joy.

Running it from the command line gives the same response.

What do I need to do with nagios 2.02 and nagios-plugins 1.41 to make this 
go?

I am sure it is something obvious and stupid I have overlooked.

Thanks!!

Nemir

Subject: "check result" event handler?
Message-ID: <763f93c8050317050747c76b7c@mail.gmail.com>

Hi.

I'm using nagios 2.0b2 to monitor like 29 servers and network
equipment. I'm really happy with its set of features and flexibility
in general.

We even screwed two LCD monitors into the external datacenter wall so
we can monitor.

As I needed a custom web interface, I had to setup event handlers and
integrate nagios to mysql. That is working fine, except that, by
definition, nagios' services event handler will only be trigger when a
status changes.

That won't give me enough information. 

I'd like to know if there is any way to send all monitoring data to a
database using something like "check result event handlers", even if
status does not change.

One of my objectives is to build GD graphis using historic results of
certain data (eg, network usage, taken from switches).

I've read most (maybe all) of the documentation and the only way I've
think to solve this is kind of ugly: I'd use wrappers to call nagios
scripts, and these wrappers would handle database update...

What do you think?

Dear Mailing list,

I've readen the docs and browsed the archives but i've not been able to 
find an answer to my question.
I've installed nagios (latest release, compiled from sources on a 
debian, woody) , i can see the web interface.

After the installation i couldn't see what is mentionned in the 
documentation about the /usr/local/nagios folder.
I only have bin, sbin, share and var folders.

I can't find my /etc folder.
I tried to find a file which normally should be placed under /etc.
I searched for contactgroups.cfg the result is:
/home/jeanjacques/nagios-1.2/sample-config/default-object/contactgroups.cfg
/home/jeanjacques/nagios-1.2/sample-config/template-object/contactgroups.cfg


if i do "locate nagios.cfg" i get
/home/jeanjacques/nagios-1.2/sample-config/nagios.cfg
/home/jeanjacques/nagios-1.2/sample-config/nagios.cfg.in

To be sure that the system database is updated i've made an updatedb but 
it doesn't change anything.


Is there a kind of install.log where i could know in which place the 
/etc folder would have been created ?

Should i create this floder manually and copy the sample-config files 
inside it ?


Best regards,

Jean-Jacques

Hi,

The 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 branch is only valid with Net-SNMP daemon. 

Which snmp server are you using on Solaris ?
Did you try the MIB-II OID for CPU instead (1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.X) ?

  We are having Nagios running on RedHat Linux. We are able to monitor the

to use different executables/OID for Solaris. Please let me know.

Subject: check_ping works fine from command line but cgi shows ping resultsas "unknown"
Message-ID: <200503171423.j2HENtJo032574@mail.asc.edu>

I am still having this problem after replacing check_ping (1.2) with (1.3).
My problem is a little different though check_ping works great when the host
is reachable, if the host is unreachable (literally not because of a down
parent) the check returns /bin/ping -n -U -c 5 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the
status is UNKNOWN. Why does the plugin not just return host-down or
unreachable, etc. Should I try a different check_ping?

Subject: Nagios check_snmp issues for Solaris
Message-ID: <02769B432700E649B14C0847840DC83B282203@becompanysrv020.consulting.becompany>

Patrick,

On solaris there is a file /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf
In that file there is a "managers" entry that contain a list of host names that are allowed to send snmp queries. I think localhost must be included always.
Some example:
managers localhost host1 host2

After adapting conf file, stop snmp daemons and restart them. There are a several related daemons or reboot server.

Best regards,

ludo

Looks like the Sun Management Center agent..
(Note a lot of the SNMP stuff in Sun is from Halcyoninc.com)

<from sun.com>
Sun Management Center has published MIB's for certain modules. They are 
available in /opt/SUNWsymon/util/cfg directory of an installed Sun 
Management Center agent image. They are:

    * file-scan.mib
    * health-monitor-mib.mib
    * kernel-reader-mib.mib
    * nfsmon-mib.mib
    * nfsstat-mib.mib
    * print-spool-mib.mib
    * process-details-mib.mib
    * process-monitor.mib 

</from sun.com>

Some have been reverse-engineered:
http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=181&threadID=15248


If you can - it might be better to run the Net-SNMP agent instead of 
SunMC for consistency across your hosts.

Subject: A link to teh check_cpu plugin
Message-ID: <BAY23-F264D8E413656E2A1BF82D8B2490@phx.gbl>

I decided to hack together (and it was a real hack!) a quick and dirty 
website to link to the check_cpu plugin,  because I had a bunch of responses 
already.

Before I begin I should put up some sort of disclaimer...  I am not a coder. 
I had to learn a language to write this,  forgive the newbie coding skills.  
I did go to some effort to confrom to the guidelines outlined by the 
nagios-plugins team,  and selected a language from their list of three 
(python,  instead of perl or c) so it isn't a compiled binary.....

Anways... I'd love to hear from you if you download it,  and love even more 
to hear from you if you use it.

I am quite willing to support it where needed,  and want to incorporate any 
code changes you make for your system back into the source here.

you can find it at http://valhalla.com.au

cha!

Nemir

What are your arguments ? Here are mine :

check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%

and the command is :
$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5

However, I think that your /bin/ping command (in your system) have a
different response when a host is unreachable than the check_ping expected.

(sorry for the english)

Hi everyone,

 

  I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but since you're
all pretty knowledgeable, you can probably help me... I've been using
Fruity to manage my config, and so far it's running great.  The only
problem I've had is that when I add services to a host and reload the
config, it gives me errors.  And when I go through, it seems that the
notification_period parameter for the service stays null.  Anyone
encounter this before?

 

Cheers!

 

Stephen

Hi, 

The mibs supported by Solaris 10 are in the /etc/sma/snmp/mibs directory
(are you on version 10 ?)

It seems that solaris can support MIB-II, Host Ressource MIB and some sun
Mibs.
(Have a look at :
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5175/6mbba7f2c?a=view)

First, check the snmp can answer (snmpwalk on "1.3.6.1")

Try an snmpwalk on "1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2" : it's the hr-ressourceMIB CPU
usage.

If this doesn't work , try snmpwalk on "1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.13" (sun process
mib).

Hi,

The 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 branch is only valid with Net-SNMP daemon. 

Which snmp server are you using on Solaris ?
Did you try the MIB-II OID for CPU instead (1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.X) ?

Hi,
  We are having Nagios running on RedHat Linux. We are able to monitor the
CPU, DISK and Memory statistics of Linux servers using the check_snmp
plug-in. We are planning to use the same procedure for Solaris. Do we have
to use different executables/OID for Solaris. Please let me know.

We are getting the following error for solaris

No we are on solaris 8. I just downloaded the Solaris snmp package from sunfeeware.com (netsnmp-5.1.1-sol8-sparc-local.gz). I hope that should work. Can I use the same OID for solaris also?
Thanks,

Hi, 

The mibs supported by Solaris 10 are in the /etc/sma/snmp/mibs directory
(are you on version 10 ?)

It seems that solaris can support MIB-II, Host Ressource MIB and some sun
Mibs.
(Have a look at :
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5175/6mbba7f2c?a=view)

First, check the snmp can answer (snmpwalk on "1.3.6.1")

Try an snmpwalk on "1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2" : it's the hr-ressourceMIB CPU
usage.

If this doesn't work , try snmpwalk on "1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.13" (sun process
mib).

Hi Patrick,
  I would like to thank you again for your help. Is there any website I can

Hi,

The 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 branch is only valid with Net-SNMP daemon. 

Which snmp server are you using on Solaris ?
Did you try the MIB-II OID for CPU instead (1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.X) ?

Hi,
  We are having Nagios running on RedHat Linux. We are able to monitor the
CPU, DISK and Memory statistics of Linux servers using the check_snmp
plug-in. We are planning to use the same procedure for Solaris. Do we have
to use different executables/OID for Solaris. Please let me know.

We are getting the following error for solaris

./check_snmp -H <host_name> -C <Community> -o

Subject: Tuning Question
In-Reply-To: <1110844626.17007.20.camel@mediis>
References: <1110844626.17007.20.camel@mediis>
Message-ID: <1111078238.12531.32.camel@mediis>

As an update, when it comes to tuning Latency I've found a couple of
interesting things. And I wish to share them. 

First, Google really misses the mark on Nagios searches. Once I started
looking through Yahoo I found some really good leads. 

I found a reference to ./nagios -s ../etc/nagios.cfg . And I started
tweaking. Searching through this list I found the most useful hint: it's
a matter of tweaking both max_concurrent_checks and the
service_reaper_frequency. If the reaper is too low, you could have a
problem. So I started with the minimum recommended max_concurrent_checks
from "nagios -s" and started tweaking my reaper from 5 downward. Once my
Latency average was almost better, I started upping my
max_concurrent_checks until I was comfortable. 

Right now my values are: max_concurrent_checks = 100 and
service_reaper_frequency = 3, with 3502 services and 280 hosts. 

NOW FOR THE INTERESTING PART! From "nagios -s" there is a nice warning,
"The minimum value also reflects best case scenarios where there are no
problems on your network." I'm building a fail over pair on the 280R's.
And the only difference between the V210 and the 280R's (other than
hardware) was the network. As a controlled test I placed one of the
280's on the same network as my 210, and synced the configuration files
on both 280's. The results are dramatic. The average Latency for my new
network is 275 seconds. The average Latency for the old network (where
the 210 resides) is .788 seconds! Needless to say, I'm going to pull out
the cat o' five tails and "visit" out network admin. 8-)

I hope this helps someone later on.

Message-ID: <2638AB7E1672B842901B0B49421B87DF0FCD54@mpc00email3.micronpc.com>

Well, I tried a few things and the error still appears.  Results are as follows:

I am able to do active checks at the command line just fine.  For instance, when doing the -v CLIENTVERSION check, "NC_Net 2.21 03/13/05" is the returned result.  So everything is OK there.

I was able to successfully change the port 1250, but I am still getting the same error.  I even tried to uninstall and reinstall thinking I did something different in the install/config, but no change.

One thing, though.  I did do an nmap check and the result is an open port.  However, everytime I run the nmap check, the exact same error (NC_Net active check socket failed: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.) show up in the event log.

Your help is greatly appreciated.  Please let me know if you need me to try anything else.

Thanks,
Paul

The error is due to some communication issues with the active checks.
Most NC_Net errors print the error message received from windows after
the :

Are any active checks working,
for example can you issue a check_nt -v CLIENTVERSION from the command line?
or did NC_Net active checks get stuck in a bad loop during startup of NC_Net?

the default port for the active checks is 1248
the problem may be something else on the network also using that port,

If you are not using active check, (you are only using  passive checks
with NC_Net) then you can disable active checks in the startup.cfg
If you are using an older version of NC_Net please upgrade the older
code was using slightly different code in handling the socket. (I do
not think this would help with that particular error)
Since this is an active check, try a different port. (make sure to
test that the port is open and not in use by other applications.)

Good Luck

Subject: External Commands not working
Message-ID: <BAY18-F21084084F4244231EC3409CA490@phx.gbl>

I'm running Nagios v.2.0b1 on Fedora 3.0 Apache 2.0.52. When trying to 
execute external commands from the web interface I get this error:

Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!

The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or 
Nagios may not be checking external commands.

An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.

I've followed the directions exactly (several times!). Apache is a member of 
Nagiocmd group, in fact I've tried giving full permissions to everyone on 
the '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/ folder and all its files with no success.

Nothing shows up in the httpd logs. The system message log shows this:

avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=5446 exe=/usr/local/nagios/sbin/cmd.cgi

This is an SELinux restriction, above and beyond normal file systems
permissions. I have no personal experience with SELinux but I believe
the following command will provide you with the SELinux policy change
you need to make --

audit2allow -l -i /var/log/messages

If anyone can come up with a valid, secure SELinux policy change to
allow access to cmd.cgi it should probably go in the FAQ at the least. I
think there was one other email in the past week that is likely an
SELinux issue as well.

Audit2allow doesn't actually change the policy. It just proposes a
change that you need to make manually. Did you add it to your policy
file then do a 'cd /etc/selinux/strict/src/policy; make load'? I believe
the policy file you need to edit might be located at
/etc/selinux/strict/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te but I would
encourage you to research SELinux on your own if you are not familiar
with it. Additionally, it is my understanding that audit2allow likely
proposes a policy change that may be more open than is required. Again,
research on your part based on your acceptable policies would be
warranted.

Sure, not a problem.

1)Correct, system only has 1 CPU.
2)I downloaded the WMI core and now the disk check works like it should.

Subject:	Re: [Nagios-users] WinNT4 & NC_Net CPULOAD
hi Paul,

Thanks for the feedback,
Could you please answer some questions for me so that I can apply a
patch to next version to make it more complient with NT4.X

1) the problem with CPU Load-
Your system does not have multiple processors so the performance
counter does not hace any instances.
is this correct?

2) USEDDISKSPACE fails to access WMI correctly.
To diagnose this I would need you to double check if WMI was installed
on systems prior to 2000 WMI was not preinstalled in the OS.  This
link will take you to the Microsoft download page for WMI:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=18490

If WMI is already installed, then we need to check it manually: this
can be done through NC_Net or some other tools.  Copied to the NC_Net
directory is a console program for examining and searching WMI,
however the tool is kind of difficult to use, I created it and used it
extensivly to get some of the checks running in NC_Net.  the Used disk
space uses the freespace and size variables from the win32_logicaldisk
(the exact spelling of these is in the documentaiton or the technical
readme. )

I am suspecting WMI core needs to be installed to fix the Diskspace issue,
as for the CPU if the problem is becasue it is a singleprocessor
system not having the (_Total) instance of processor then I will have
to add a variable to the startup for it.

NOTE: the newest version of NC_Net and check_Nt(with nc_net
enhancements) has better response time.  A reorganized help(in
check_NT) and Enumeration commands for most things ( services,
processes, NC_Net configurations, ...)

you can check your version with these commands:
 ./check_nt -V
check_nc_net (nagios-plugins 1.4) 1.18
 ./check_nt -H ????????? -v CLIENTVERSION
NC_Net 2.21 03/13/05


thanks in advance for trying NC_Net

My services are defined as: check_ping! 3000.0,80% ! 5000.0,100%
Does the spaces                        ^      or  ^ ^ here matter? They work
fine for our UP hosts. 
My command is: $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5
(the same as your)
I checked and the /bin/ping on my cent-os-4 system shows:
     /bin/ping -n                      -U           -c 5 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is
OK
numeric output ^^ user to user latency ^^ and count ^^

What are your arguments ? Here are mine :

check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%

and the command is :
$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5

However, I think that your /bin/ping command (in your system) have a
different response when a host is unreachable than the check_ping expected.

(sorry for the english)

I don't know if this is really a solution to you, but I shut off selinux
to make it work.

Make sure you have created the rw directory and that it has correct
permission.  double check the cgi.cfg and nagios.cfg files.  external
commands have to be turned on.

Scenario:
If you have a helpdesk and you only want them to be able to view 
services/hosts current status and not give external commands.
An application administrator has their own services.  There are other 
services such as disk space which are useful to them. They should only 
have view and not be able to issue commands.

If you want a contact-group to only view services and not perform any 
external commands, there isn't a way to do it that I know of.

If you define a contact-group for a service, they can view and issue a 
command.
If you define a contact-group for a host, they can view and issue commands 
to the host and all services 
If you use escalation, the contact group can view and issue commands.

A great tool to keep people informed on the health of hosts/services.  I 
would love to give views to other groups but with the relationship between 
view and giving commands....I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Suggestions?

This might work as a hack....

Another webserver that runs as a differnt user than say "nobody" and doesnt
have the nagioscmd perms
....its file perms wont allow it to write to the files needed to issue
commands to nagios........

Which one? The Nagios error message or the avc: error message above?

If it's the nagios error message then it's back to basics and we'll need
further information --
	- verify /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd exists. Post an ls
-l of the file here. If it doesn't exist then you have not configured
external commands properly.
	- verify that the user or group that your web server runs as has
access to the file and all directories above it, from / on down. ls -l
of each would be useful if you need our help. Directory group
permissions should be at least rx. nagios.cmd group permissions should
be at least rw.
	- show us the values of the User and Group directives in
httpd.conf
	- show us the groups in /etc/groups that the above user is a
member. It should be in the same group that nagios.cmd is.
	- show us the groups that the nagios user is a member. This is
not so important IFF nagios.cmd is owned by the same user nagios runs
as.

If it's the avc: error message then SELinux is not disabled. That would
trump everything above.

I'd probably go with the following as a basic example --

Etc...

Substitute valid/correct IPs, hostnames, etc as necessary...

I am new to nagios and the only question I have thus far is with the
configs.  I have one host technically speaking, but it has multiple
addresses assigned to it for multiple websites.  I want to perform a service
check on each website.  Do I have to create a separate host for each
website? Or is there a way to specify with each service check what IP
address is used?  I do know I can assign one host multiple IP's, but I am
unsure if this is the practice I am looking for.  Please let me know what
would be the proper host and service config for this situation.

Marc,

Thanks for your help.  One last question for the moment.  What do the "!" do
in your "check_ping!www.site2.com!127.0.0.2"?  Is this how you pass
individual arguments? Last, is it not better to use "check_http" rather than
"check_ping"?  If you can tell me this, that will be my last questions
hopefully pertaining to host and service configs.

Thanks,

Daniel

Subject: nagiosgraph icon not working :(
Message-ID: <1111099818.12657.82.camel@michaelgale-ws4-1.int.pason.com>

Hello,

	I am running nagios 1.2 with nagiosgraph ... which works great so
far ... much better then perfparse and the documentation is use full
unlike perfparse.

Anyways .. it is working and I can view the graphs by typing out the
full url. 

http://..../nagiosgraph/show.cgi?host=Exchange&service=IMAP

But I can not get the icon to show up ... I copied the trends.gif from
images into logos/ and have done the following:

- In cgi.cfg have:

     xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/etc/nagios/serviceextinfo.cfg

 - Edit serviceextinfo.cfg

       define serviceextinfo {
       service_description  IMAP
       host_name       Exchange
       notes_url       /nagiosgraph/show.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=
$SERVICEDESC$
       icon_image      trends.gif
       icon_image_alt  View graphs
     }


What am I missing ....

Thanks

Michael.

Yes, that's correct. $ARG1$ is www.site2.com and $ARG2$ is 127.0.0.2,
etc. You can pass up to 32 arguments to a command in this manner.

I used a check_ping just as a generic test (I just do it normally), you
can remove it if you don't want or need it or change it to check_http if
your web server is listening on your master IP address.

of just hitting the restart button.

Stanley:


Let me say:  _ Y O U _ R U L E _

Don't ask me WHAT I did, it just started to work.
I followed your steps and added some extra printfs on check.c, recompiled
nagios binary using the same ./configure line as always, and suddenly some
"embedded perl plugin output was ..." lines starting to appear on stdout.

Perl still appears when doing "ps", but after some minutes I noticed some
AMAZING performance changes:

- Nagios is running on a dedicated box. It checks 65 hosts and 512 services.
More than 60% of the checks are performed by custom perl scripts.

- Check lattency avg dropped from 59/60 SECONDS to (incredible) 0.580!!!
DAMN! I would like to write that number with a big red font if you wouldn't
piss!.

- Server load avg 5 minutes dropped from 15 to 6.5.



What can I say?!. Thanks!
If there is anything I can do, let me know!

Nicol?s Alen.

The only references to Perl are either

1 one of my Perl plugins run manually to test the loop

2 check_by_ssh calling Perl code remotely.

I use a fair amount of Perl plugins (20 or more custom) with the mainly
default check_interval so I think the loop would have detected any more fork
+ exec of Perl.

What happens when you run the above bash ?

Did you see messages like (Nag configured with --enable-DEBUG1 and run with
a stripped config [only perl plugins running frequently])

#ifdef DEBUG1
                                        printf("embedded perl ran %s with
error %s\n",fname,SvPV(ERRSV,PL_na)); #endif
                                        }
--
                                unlink(tmpfname);    
#ifdef DEBUG1
                                printf("embedded perl plugin output was
%d,%s\n",pclose_result, plugin_output); #endif

(from checks.c) ?

No. The Perl support is basically the same (and has been stable for a long
time [with bugs unfortch]).

> This is somehow silly, but do I have to include some special code on 
> my perl plugs?

No. The ePN does that for you.

I am unlikely to be of any further help without some ideas.

Unless there is something unusual (as is obvious but what ?) I can't imagine
why you are seeing your results.

(If you are patient, I could send you some code privately to emulate the ePN
function outside of Nag but I am not sure it would help).

Yours sincerely.

you, you have to provide a little bit more information ;)
What errors, maybe some kind of cfg stuff....etc

	Hi everyone,

	 

	  I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but since
you're all pretty knowledgeable, you can probably help me... I've been
using Fruity to manage my config, and so far it's running great.  The
only problem I've had is that when I add services to a host and reload
the config, it gives me errors.  And when I go through, it seems that
the notification_period parameter for the service stays null.  Anyone
encounter this before?

	 

	Cheers!

	 

	Stephen

Subject: Problems with Statusmap
Message-ID: <aec066bc050318000713f4523b@mail.gmail.com>

I have installed nagios 2.0b2 and the problem I have it's to see
the status map.

After installing and compiling tha graphics packets, now  I only see
the page of status map  in blank, showing  me a message:

'You have not supplied any host drawing coordinates, so you cannot use
this layout method. Read the FAQ's for more information on specifying
drawing coordinates or select a different layout method'

Firstly, in the cgi.cfg I have indicate in the directive
'default_statusmap_layout=5', which indicates Circular (Marked up)
layout, so, Nagios shouldn't have to request me drawing coordinates.

Secondly, in the box drawing layers there is nothing!!!
In this box should be the hostgroups I have define and it doesn't appear...
Why happens that? Anybody knows? Can you help me?

Thanks

Yolanda

Hi all,

i've written a Nagios-plugin to check status of Bacula-daemons (director,

If anyone here is interested in it and willing to do some test i would be
pleased to send it to you...

thanks a lot,

Christian, some info on how to compile it wold be nice...

Your Makefile wants ../../config.status - it would be helpful if you 
could tell me where to put your files. Of course I could try to read and 
understand Makefile and *.c and *.h, but a hint from your side will make 
things much easier for me...

Subject: Help with Extended Information
Message-ID: <1111151830.7796.45.camel@localhost>

Hi all,

I have a silly problem with Nagios 1.x Extended Information, and I hope
that someone here can help me.

I am setting up NagiosGraph, and I have successfully configured Nagios
to display the graphs for the ping service on each host, using the
following definition in serviceextinfo.cfg:

        define serviceextinfo {
                hostgroup              
        chris-servers,infra-servers,prod-servers,dev-servers
                notes_url              
        /nagios/graph/show.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$
                icon_image              ../trends.gif
                icon_image_alt          View graphs
                service_description     ping
        }
        
Now I want to provide extended information for almost all of my
services. Most of the settings will be the same across all service
types, so I would like to use templates with inheritance to reduce the
amount of typing I need to do. Really I would like to just apply the
same settings to all hosts and services automatically, but I don't think
it's possible :-(.

The documentation claims that inheritance should work
[http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xedtemplate.html], but when I
try the following configuration, I get NO extended information links, as
though my definition was being ignored.

        define serviceextinfo {
                name                    se_template
                hostgroup               chris-servers,infra-servers,prod-servers,dev-servers
                notes_url               /nagios/graph/show.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$
                icon_image              ../trends.gif
                icon_image_alt          View graphs
                service_description     ping
                register                0
        }
        
        define serviceextinfo {
                use                     se_template
                service_description     ping
        }

I discovered that if I add an identical hostgroup line to the real
service definition, then the links to the graphs are displayed properly.
Could it be that the hostgroup property is not inherited correctly?

Also, if I leave out the "service_description" from se_template, the
status CGI crashes with a segmentation fault instead of giving a proper
error message.

Is there a proper place to report bugs in Nagios? The Sourceforge bug
tracker seems to be disabled.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Cheers, Chris.

Subject: Time-Wasting Tricks
Message-ID: <1111153001.7796.49.camel@localhost>

Hi all,

I'm looking at the Nagios 1.x Time-Saving Tricks page
[http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/templatetricks.html], and trying
to implement a single service for all hosts in a hostgroup. This would
indeed save me a lot of time. However, I get the following error when
starting Nagios:

        Error: Host name 'prod.aidworld.org www1.loband.org
        mail.aidworld.org www3.loband.org www4.loband.org
        www5.loband.org www6.loband.org' for service 'ssh' exceeds
        maximum length of 63 characters

Is there some way to increase the limit of 63 characters, or make this
"trick" useful in some way, apart from splitting my hostgroups which
will break all of my configuration?

Cheers, Chris.

Subject: filtering critical erros when nrpe dies on remote host
Message-ID: <423ADA9D.103@perso.be>

Hello,

I'm checking quite a lot of services via nrpe.
When, for one or other reason the nrpe-daemon stops running on the 
remote host, I get a critical notification for all nrpe-checked-services 
on that host.
I would be satifsfied to get just one notification from my own plugin to 
check if the nrpe-daemon is running and suppress all other notifications

So I thought to use service-dependencies, in a way that when the 'check 
nrpe daemon'-plugin returns critical, all other services on that host 
shouldn't be checked anymore, but this seems very difficult to 
configure, because you have to do it for every individual host and service.

Anyone has better ideas.

Thanks,

Frederik

Subject: NSCA and Nagios
Message-ID: <1111154444.423adf0c22a50@www7320.nrlssc.navy.mil>

I'm having a few problems with passive service monitoring with Nagios 2.0.

First, NSCA and Nagios don't seem to work together.  NSCA won't create the
"command_file" if it doesn't exist and according to the Nagios documentation,
Nagios will delete it every time it processes it (and I have seen it deleted
before).  This makes NSCA pretty much useless, since it writes all its logs to
a "dump" file which nothing uses.

Relevant notes related to this:

>From the NSCA 2.4 source:

        /* command file doesn't exist - monitoring app probably isn't running...
*/
        if(stat(command_file,&statbuf)){
              ...
              return ERROR
              ...
              return OK
        }

>From the Nagios 2.0 documentation:
# EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE
# This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests.
# It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are submitted
# by users, so it must be writeable by the user that the web server
# is running as (usually 'nobody').  Permissions should be set at the
# directory level instead of on the file, as the file is deleted every
# time its contents are processed.

command_file=/data/monitor/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd





So I modified the NSCA source to create the file if it doesn't exist (and not
care whether or not it existed before, as well).  It is now writing data to the
command file, but nothing seems to reap it.  The file has yet to be deleted and
my passive service (which has updates in the command file) has not been
processed by Nagios.


Any ideas on what is wrong ?

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to use the Nagiostat utility (The utility
created by Carl Bingel which uses rrdtool...)

I've got it up and installed, but I'n having a hard time figuring out how
to create any graphs.  Is there a decent tutorial on this?  I've tried
messing around with the nagiostat.conf file and create some "ping" graphs
but I only get the "broken gif" icon rather than anything useful.

Is there an easier method of creating graphs than editing the conf file?

Any help appreciated...

Thanks,

The hostnames should be comma-separated. 

	define service{
		host_name		HOST1,HOST2,HOST3,...,HOSTN
		service_description	SOMESERVICE
		other service directives ...
		}

On the off chance that doesn't work for you, you could try increasing
'common/objects.h:#define MAX_HOSTNAME_LENGTH' but I am not personally
aware of anyone that's done that so I can't say what the consequences
would be. The preferred solution would then be to use the hostgroup_name
directive as follows --


	define service{
		hostgroup_name
HOSTGROUP1,HOSTGROUP2,...,HOSTGROUPN
		service_description	SOMESERVICE
		other service directives ...
		}

Hosts can be members of multiple host groups. Simply create an arbitrary
hostgroup for hosts with this service and assign it to the service as
above. If you're using CGI authentication you can even hide it from the
hostgroup views by assigning to it a contact group that no-one is a
member of.

There are 2 options: 
1. Use a dependency on a simple Nagios check.(For example a nrpe plugin
that just returns an exit code of 0). Then you would get a one alert for
this service and not for any of the services that depend on the simple
nagios check. 

2. What we did was created a hostcheck that was the simple nagios check
mentioned above. If NRPE is not running on the box we would consider
that box to be down. 

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure the documentation is clear on this point.  From my
investigation, the command file is a named pipe. At least, on my system it
appears so:

[nagios at nagios rw]$ pwd
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw
[nagios at nagios rw]$ ls -l
total 0
prw-rw----  1 nagios nagcmd 0 Mar 16 15:28 nagios.cmd


Also, according to the source code, in base/utils.c, there's a routine
called "open_command_file()" that will automatically perform a mkfifo()
(i.e. create a named pipe).  This function gets called from the main
nagios.c routine on startup.

Therefore, I'm not sure I believe the documentation when it says it
"deletes" the file every time something gets written to it.  Perhaps it's
the documentation that's obsolete.

Do you have permissions set correctly on the <nagios_base>/var/rw directory?

I think the commentary in nagios.cfg is incorrect. My experience with
2.0 cvs versions from about five months ago was that the command file
was only removed when Nagios was shut down, which is fully consistent
with prior versions. The full documentation also states this is the case
--

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#command_file

I would have expected a major change such as that to have generated a
lot of chatter on this list that just hasn't been seen. I'll test it
again with the most recent version later today just to be sure though.

Message-ID: <423AE93C.1040006@gmx.net>

Hi List,

may be a litte bit OT but I am asking myself in reminding of a few posts 
in this list about this subject...

Is there someone outside who has maried Nagios notifications with some 
helpdesk tools (Bugzilla...)??

Wich Tools do you use and how difficult was/is it to got it work?

My idea is that Nagios got some event handler to open a new call in that 
HD Tool.

Best regards
Hendrik

No.
nagiosd doesn't delete he command file. At least not here.
It creates it as a pipe. What you've got to do is setup nagios, it's 
var/rw directory, the nagios user, nsca and the web server correctly.

The file permissions and groups for the processes are important.

It's all described in the nagios manual.

Right. Follow the instructions.

If it still doesn't work, post the output of ls -l concerning the 
relevant files and the parts of your config, then we'll see.

Message-ID: <200503181459.j2IExR9h007158@mail1.firstbhph.com>

Hello to all.  I've had nagios 1.2 working successfully for a while now.
However, I've never been able to get Status Map icons to work.  Here's a
line from my cgi.cfg file that I thought would make the icons appear:

 

hostextinfo[norwell]=;/base/redhat.gif;/base/redhat.gif;/base/redhat.gif;Cen
tOS 3.3;;;

 

My logos are located in /usr/share/nagios/images/logos/base.

 

I'm guessing this has been asked before; if so, sorry.  I'd appreciate info.
on how to make the logos appear, or pointing me to info. that will show me
how.

 

Many thanks.

 

Dimitri

Nagios never created a FIFO in var/rw.  The directory is world writable (with
the sticky bit set).

Nagios does delete the file upon shutdown, so upon starting up there is no
"nagios.cmd" file in the var/rw directory and Nagios is free to create one by
directory permissions and UNIX file semantics.  Nagios never creates a FIFO (or
any other file system object) in the var/rw directory and eventually NSCA's
"nsca" process (refering to the unmodified 2.4 version) attempts to verify it
exists.  It does not exist and thus "nsca" writes to a "nsca.dump" file, which
at this point is about 100kb.

How can I fix (apparently broken) my setup so that NSCA (unmodified version 2.4)
will work with Nagios 2.0 ?

[root at x nagios]# ls -ld var/rw
drwxrwxrwt   2 nagios   nagios       512 Mar 18 09:01 var/rw
[root at x nagios]# ps -A | grep nagios
 26669 ?        0:00 nagios
[root at x nagios]# ls -l var/rw/
total 130
-rw-r-----   1 nagios   nagios     65955 Mar 18 07:37 nsca.dump
[root at x nagios]#

Thanks for the reply.  Using gifs was only my latest attempt to make this
work.  Jpgs and pngs are also included in the directory, but none seem to
work.  Is it a permissions thing?

GIF's aren't supported in the statusmap.  You'll need to convert the images

I've thought about it once we deploy a helpdesk system. Resource Tracker
looks like what I would want to use to do it.

It creates a ticket via an email, and I'd just send critical
notifications to it formatted in a way so that it accepts it as a
ticket, and probably put some sort of a larger threshold then I use
currently before sending the notification.

Maybe like 30 minutes to ensure that it isn't something simple, and
really needs to be addressed by our helpdesk monitor, maybe only do
hosts, I don't know.

But I haven't actually deployed anything yet.

Hi Marc,

You are absolutely right, thank you! I never noticed before, because
space-separated host groups (seem to) work just fine, i.e. Nagios never
complained about them before. I guess this is one case where they don't.

Cheers, Chris.

This problem exists in 2.0b2 as well: This patch for cgi/status.c should
correct it. You can probably remove the /*FOOBAR*/ comment.

I am making the assumption that the serviceextifo icon should actually take you there instead of to the service description. If I'm wrong then disregard this email.

I've come to the same conclusion, but have not been able to determine the reason
for there to be a lack of a file.

My configuration indicates that Nagios should create a file system object there,
and the permissions allow an object to be created there.   There is no entry in
the "var/nagios.log" to indicate that there was a failure.  Nagios is running
and collecting data through its active monitors.

I`ve done exactly this to autocreate all required nagios config files 
via a perl parser from an csv file.
This way i can easely put 10 or more hosts into one service check.
(I`m monitoring 96 systems and 180 services)

This works very well in 1.x and 2.x versions (nagios-2.0b2 actually).


It also helps to use shorter symbolic names, eg. prod-1 instead of 
prod.aidworld.org.  (or fvvpn-xxx instead of the fqdn)


Best Regards,
Dirk Westfal

Subject: Some hosts never being checked, even when services are down.
Message-ID: <59B15593F41BD24591D59436E7226EAD019007C6@Khiphx2.khimetrics.com>

Nagios 2.02b 
OS: RHES3
Ever since I've moved to 2.02b, I have some host checks that do not ever
get checked. The services will all be down, but the host will not get
checked. I've tried running a host check manually on those boxes, and I
see the external comman: schedule_forced_host_check in my logs, but
nothing ever occurs. The host is always listed as up with a status
output of null.

Last Check time is listed as 	12-31-1969 17:00:00.

Last Update is 03-18-2005 09:38:30

This is occurring for about 25% of my hosts. All hosts have the same
format under my scheme which is.

define host {
                name                           generic-host
               notifications_enabled          1
               event_handler_enabled          1
               flap_detection_enabled         1
               process_perf_data              1
               retain_status_information      1
               retain_nonstatus_information   1
                register                       0
		}

And 

define host {
                host_name                      $hostname 
                use                            generic-host
                alias                          $alias
                address                        $ipaddress
                max_check_attempts             3
                notification_interval          60
               notification_period            24x7
               notification_options           d,u,r
                contact_groups                 DC_LinuxAdmins
               check_command                  check-host-alive
               parents                        $parents
               }

The check-host-alive command is set, and works for 75% of my machines.

I have 288 hosts running 1428 service checks. Would anyone have any
information to lead me to the cause of this?

There are times where the host will stay up for the entire duration of
the host being down with all of the services listed as critical, never
being checked. Other hosts check fine, and react normally.

I just tried the method Andrew outlined below (I have rtfm, and it suggests
same), but still no joy :-(.  Of course, icons are something I could live
without, but .  Must the image files be owned by a particular user (mine
were originally owned by root; I changed that to apache, just to see what
would happen).  I also changed permissions to 777.  Nothin' seems to work
(oh, the pain).

 

Any other ideas?

Hmmm...for what it's worth, I keep my host and service extended info
configurations in a separate file.  In cgi.cfg I have:

 

xedtemplate_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg

 

and then in hostextinfo.cfg I configure hosts like:

 

define hostextinfo{
 host_name LinuxHost
 icon_image redhat.png
 statusmap_image redhat.png
    }

 

I don't see any reason what you're doing shouldn't work, but I know the
above works well for me.

Thanks for the reply.  Using gifs was only my latest attempt to make this
work.  Jpgs and pngs are also included in the directory, but none seem to
work.  Is it a permissions thing?

GIF's aren't supported in the statusmap.  You'll need to convert the images
to .png or .jpg and they'll work fine.

Hello to all.  I've had nagios 1.2 working successfully for a while now.
However, I've never been able to get Status Map icons to work.  Here's a
line from my cgi.cfg file that I thought would make the icons appear:

 

hostextinfo[norwell]=;/base/redhat.gif;/base/redhat.gif;/base/redhat.gif;Cen
tOS 3.3;;;

 

My logos are located in /usr/share/nagios/images/logos/base.

 

I'm guessing this has been asked before; if so, sorry.  I'd appreciate info.
on how to make the logos appear, or pointing me to info. that will show me
how.

 

Many thanks.

 

Dimitri

I'm pretty sure you have to convert to GD2 files for the status map.  ;)

This usually means that there is an error message in the webserver's log 
files, check your access or error logs and you should find some useful 
information.

If the RRD files are not being found then check that they are being created in 
the archives folder.  If they aren't, check permissions.  If permissions are 
good, then put nagiostat in debug mode and check to see what "rddtool create" 
command is being issued.  Then execute that command yourself and see what 
errors it gives.  I was always able to find out what mistake I'd made from 
these error messages.

> Is there an easier method of creating graphs than editing the conf file?

Not that I've found, I didn't look much further than the files that came with 
the tool though.  Setting up the graphs is all straightforward, the problem 
is that this is involved and highly sensitive to errors (usually some 
mismatch in the config).

Is there a way to monitor the log files with Nagios to check for heck
attempts in to the system? I.E. the messages log file? If so can some one
help in setting this up?

There's a check_log program that can do it.  I've found it easier to use
something separate from Nagios for log stuff.  But check check_log out
it might do exactly what you need it to.  You can download it with the
nagios-plugins version 1.4 package.

I can say with certainty that isn't required.  My understanding is that
GD2, PNG, and Jpeg all work fine with statusmap.cgi.  IIRC, statusmap
can convert PNG and JPG to GD2 on the fly when it's launched, so
converting your images to GD2 first will make the statusmap load faster,
but isn't necessary.  I know I'm lazy and haven't bothered to convert my
images yet and they seem to display ok. :-)

Subject: Lame service dependency
Message-ID: <E1DCND2-0000t9-Rj@sc8-sf-mx1.sourceforge.net>

I am testing my startup of nagios and I am getting a "Warning: Ignoring lame
service dependency (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg',
line #" for every dependency I have created.  Basically I have created a
ping that pings each host server.

Then, for the webserver I am doing an individual HTTP check to each IP
address of every site on the server.  I have made these dependent upon the
successful server ping so that if the server itself is ever down I only get
the one message from not being able to ping it.

Can anyone help me out with why I am getting the message and if there is a
better way I should be doing this?

I have added a sample of my first three lines of services and their
dependencies:

################ services #########################

define service{

I've thought about it once we deploy a helpdesk system. Resource Tracker
looks like what I would want to use to do it.

It creates a ticket via an email, and I'd just send critical
notifications to it formatted in a way so that it accepts it as a
ticket, and probably put some sort of a larger threshold then I use
currently before sending the notification.

Maybe like 30 minutes to ensure that it isn't something simple, and
really needs to be addressed by our helpdesk monitor, maybe only do
hosts, I don't know.

But I haven't actually deployed anything yet.

I can't speak to the service dependencies as I don't use them myself but
I believe in your case they are not necessary at all. When any service
on a host returns a non-OK state, Nagios immediately checks the state of
the host using the hosts check_command. If that returns a non-OK state,
a host notification only is sent out and all service notifications for
that host are suppressed until the host recovers.

Subject: Apache Nagios interface
Message-ID: <E1DCO3f-0006br-CM@sc8-sf-mx1.sourceforge.net>

Ok, I am able to get Nagios running now without any apparent errors and I
have Apache running on my system, but when I try to reach
"http://netmonitor.interactivetwist.com/nagios" I just get the 404 error.  I
have made the following additions to my "httpd.conf" file.

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

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


Here are a few of the settings from my  "cgi.cfg" file:

# MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE
main_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg


# PHYSICAL HTML PATH
physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share


# URL HTML PATH
url_html_path=/nagios



I have installed Nagios in   /usr/local/nagios   using all the default
instructions.  How would I go about debugging this?  Is there a particular
resource that works with getting the nagios interface working with apache?

Thanks in advance for any help,

You need to include the trailing / so:  

http://netmonitor.interactivetwist.com/nagios/

That should get it done.

You need to include the trailing / so:  

http://netmonitor.interactivetwist.com/nagios/

That should get it done.

Have you tried adding a trailing slash to your URL? Like:

http://netmonitor.interactivetwist.com/nagios/

The alias you created is "/nagios/", not "/nagios".

I just tried it against your server. Worked great. Now you need to add a 
.htaccess file to keep people like me out of your website.

I had not started the security section just yet.  I was trying to first
figure out why I couldn't see it.  I will be starting that next.  Thanks for

One thing you can do is add a second alias, which would look like so:


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

That way, it'll answer whether or not you add the trailing slash :)

Ok, I am able to get Nagios running now without any apparent errors and
I
have Apache running on my system, but when I try to reach
"http://netmonitor.interactivetwist.com/nagios" I just get the 404
error.  I
have made the following additions to my "httpd.conf" file.

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

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


Here are a few of the settings from my  "cgi.cfg" file:

# MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE
main_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg


# PHYSICAL HTML PATH
physical_html_path=/usr/local/nagios/share


# URL HTML PATH
url_html_path=/nagios



I have installed Nagios in   /usr/local/nagios   using all the default
instructions.  How would I go about debugging this?  Is there a
particular
resource that works with getting the nagios interface working with
apache?

Thanks in advance for any help,

I have never been able to get any kind of icons to work except for png
on Nagios 1.2, same permissions and all.  In fact, I had the same
problem with the sample statusmap logo images from the Nagios website
links.  I never did figure out why and didn't pursue the issue.  Even
then I had to be careful on their data format when making my own and
saving them as png files, and I had to play with the settings before
they would display properly (use palette indexing!).  I converted all my
pictures using gimp.   Even converting them to GD2 did not work for me,
so I just stuck with png files.

I am unable to authenticate to my server.  Below is a link to the lines that
I added to my httpd.conf, but every time I enter in the username and
password it just keeps asking for the name and password.  I know I am typing
it correctly.

http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=34846

Does anyone know why it is not accepting the username and password?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Subject: Config problem
Message-ID: <E1DCQuK-0005qE-KK@sc8-sf-mx1.sourceforge.net>

For the moment I have shut authentication off.  I manually loaded nagios
with the -v command to check it and did not see any errors.  I checked the
log file and did not find any errors.  When I go to my site with nagios at
"http://netmonitor.interactivetwist.com/nagios/" I get into it just fine.
But, if I click on any link under Monitoring or Reporting I get Nothing.  If
I click on "View Config" under Configuration I can see all the configuration
data just fine.  Does anyone have any insight for me as to why the rest of
it is not working?

I assure, any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am willing to also
converse across IRC or AIM and I can even give temp access to the server if
necessary.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel Budde II

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


If I take off the (forward slash "/") after the "share" or "sbin"
directories in either of the ScriptAlias or Alias statements I was getting
errors.  So, I left those in, but this is the current state of my httpd.conf
entries.  I still have the same problem, I check manually starting Nagios
and get no errors, so I go ahead and start it as a daemon.  I have apache
running, so I go to my site "http://netmonitor.interactivetwist.com/nagios/"
and I can't view any links under "Monitoring" or "Reporting".  I can how
ever view the configuration data.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel Budde II

Change to the following below, also I'm not sure if you need two
"ScriptAlias" lines so change to following:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin

and

Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share
Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share

 I took out the second ScriptAlias, but like I said, if I take out the
slashes after  "share" or "sbin" I just get "Error 403" when I go to the
website.

Verify you have the following entries:

HTTP service config:

check_period                    24x7
notification_period             24x7

Contact config:

service_notification_period     24x7
 host_notification_period        24x7

You're time periods may vary. But those lines, I believe, are required.
I think that should do it.

Luis

Ok, I think I know what the prob is. Sorry for not catching this
earlier. Since you'll not be using a .htaccess file as of now, then
change the "AllowOverride" from "AuthConfig" to "None"

I tweaked a program that I found on an nmap mirror
(http://cherepovets-city.ru/insecure/runmap/scanners/pscan.c)   into a
nagios check (which I call check_udp_port).  Nmap is GPL, but the
provenance of this little program isn't so clear

I've read the source 50 times and still don't understand quite how it
works, but it seems to work every time.

Hey there everyone...

I am a bit keen to change my nagios url from

http://domain.com/nagios/

to

http://nagios.domain.com

I am wondering if anyone else out there has done this successfully,  and if 
so what their apache config looked like?  (I have set up the DNS already,  
it is just a matter of getting apache right.)

To make it more confusing, one of my nagios boxes is running apache 1.3.x,  
the other is running 2.0.x.   I understand that there are subtle differences 
in their configuration.


Thanks!

Nemir

We do this, and it's pretty simple with our helpdesk system, Cerberus.

We have escalations setup so that after N notifications for specific
servieces, we automatically send an email to the helpdesk ticket
email-gateway. The reply-to address is set so that it goes to /dev/null on
the monitoring system.

It was trivial to setup and deal with. I'd think any of the ticketing
systems (RT, Kayako, Cerberus, etc) that can handle ticket creation via
email could implement something like this quite easily.

Hi Paul, 
Please remember to add to the Subject of your message NC_Net when the
problem is related to NC_Net (or check_nt with NC_Net)

The problem with FILEAGE is that the date format was not fully
implemented on any of the check_nt versions in cvs of the official
plugins.  the NS_Client  documentation Did specify that it did this
but it did not.

The Documentation of NC_Net was updated to reflect the reality of the
FILEAGE command about a month ago in version 2.1?.  in the FILEAGE
section (http://www.shatterit.com/nc_net/files/readme.html#File_Age_Usage)
of the NC_Net readme it specifies that date format is not implemented.
also the internal help command of check_nt(that came with NC_Net) was
updated to reflect this as well. ( ./check_nt --help=FILEAGE)

the output format of the active check is only the UNIX time,  the
passive check on the other hand is using a more verbose output as
described in the Readme.html

Good Luck
Tony

They play from the web-browser through a html tag in the page and a 
stored .wav-file on the nagios server. No sound ever plays on the nagios 
server.

Assuming the secondary route is longer than the primary one to any 
designated target, you can use check_icmp's -l flag to set TTL on 
outgoing packets.

This is only known to work on Linux (and known to fail on *bsd), where 
setsockopt(2) is only limited by the permissions used when the socket 
was created. It would be unsafe to drop privileges in check_icmp after 
parsing arguments, so that's not an option.

If this feature ever becomes widely requested I could rewrite check_icmp 
to send raw IP-headers as well, and just skip mucking about with 
setsockopt(2).

Example;
check_icmp -l 15 www.google.com
When ttl is enough to make all the hops, you'd get
"OK - www.google.com blahblah"
When it isn't, you'll get
"CRITICAL - www.google.com :: Time to live exceeded in transit @ <ip>"

Hi,

Sorry for not replying to the original mail.

> >errors, assuming there are any.

As a starter, I would query the virtual HSRP IP address via SNMP and 
then compare the reported hostname so see if the virtual address is 
on the default router.

I'm sure Cisco's HSRP MIBs would give away more information, but 
haven't looked into it.

Bye,
Mike

I've encountered the same bug with fruity 0.7.  The author said it was a
bug that would be corrected in the next release.  He didn't say when that
would be, but new releases have been pretty frequent so I expect it won't
be long.

I saw someone said : it was a bug ???
You just have to configure all the host to have a notification period (24x7 by default).
Go to Hosts --> AHOST --> Notifications --> Edit --> And chose a notification period

But if you have a lot of hosts, I strongly recommend that you use a sql script to change all the fruity database in one shot :)
example : UPDATE nagios_hosts SET notification_period='1' WHERE notification_period='0' ; 

And do that with all the changes you have to do on a regular basis. Because when you have a lot of hosts or services, by fruity, it take a lonnng time....

  Hi everyone,

   

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but since you're all pretty knowledgeable, you can probably help me. I've been using Fruity to manage my config, and so far it's running great.  The only problem I've had is that when I add services to a host and reload the config, it gives me errors.  And when I go through, it seems that the notification_period parameter for the service stays null.  Anyone encounter this before?

   

  Cheers!

Message-ID: <20050320115011.77196.qmail@web25103.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Hi,
     I installed nagios,nagios-plugins and everthing
is working fine except the trends.cgi,statusmap.cgi
and histogram.cgi. I checked in FAQs and mailing lists
but i find the common reasons for this problem causes
as gd libraries.I have installed all the gd libraries
and it is not something related to this. Whenevrer i
access the above cgis, i am getting the following
error..

 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). 
configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before
continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message
to one of the mailing lists. More information can be
found at http://www.nagios.org. 

   I didnt find any problem in the configuration
files. i dont get any errors if i verify the nagios
configuration, also i get correct status info: if i
check the host,service details etc.. from the web
interface...

   I wolud be grateful if anyone could help to solve
this problem as soon as problem..

 Thanks and Regards....

Many of my configuration problems were caused by
file/folder permission problems.  If I recall
correctly, whatever user your web server runs under
needs at least read access to your cgi files.  You may
want to check those.

Subject: execution failure ond service dependency won't work correct (2.0b2)
Message-ID: <20050320174648.GA21113@swobspace.swobspace.de>

Hi,

I am using service dependencies on Nagios 2.0b2 to prevent from false
alarms on services depending on nrpe:

define servicedependency{
   dependent_host_name             GKALAB112
   dependent_service_description   Disks,Users,Zombies,Load,Procs
   host_name                       GKALAB112
   service_description             NRPE
   execution_failure_criteria      n
   notification_failure_criteria   c,u
}

If NRPE fails (check_nrpe -H <host> with no further arguments), service 
checks on "Disks" or "Users" should be executed, but not notficated.

notification_failure_criteria works as expected, but Nagios won't check
dependent services active (docs says: n =checks of the dependent service
will always be actively checked).

Message-ID: <20050320222702.09cb58b1.mailinglists@lucassen.org>

Hello list,

A few weeks ago I asked why the nagios-1.3 that comes with Debian Sarge
is not rotating its logs, although the logrotate variable is set to
daily:

log_rotation_method=d

I got no answer, so does anyone here have the same problems? I'd like to
find out if it's a Debian issue or not.

Subject: Multiple Notifications & Event Handling Failures
Message-ID: <0C8098CA7F09CE419F0C2B68EB83587648B778@exchange.fasttrack.net.au>

Hi All,

I've just upgraded to Debian unstable Nagios 1.3 from 1.2 and have noted
multiple deliveries of service notifications.  
The frequency of the interval between notifications has also shortened.
Where I previously would have received one or two notifications, I now
get 5 or 6. The service & host declarations are the same, so I'm
confused as to why this would be? Does anyone know what may have
changed?

I also have a seperate issue with event handlers that has been raised in
posts previously, but for which I am unable to find any resolution.  The
problem is that for a service event handler, which is only called when
the service state returns to status OK.
Again the event handler is a direct extrapolation from the example
documentation for the httpd_restart.  
Is anyone able to shed some light here?

Cheers,

Lewis Shobbrook

Subject: Check hardware raid under Win32
Message-ID: <423E4D0A.6070606@qut.edu.au>

Hi all,

Has anyone done checking of hardware RAID in Windows environments, and 
getting that information back to Nagios? We've got multiple types of 
RAID adapters (Intel, Adaptec, Mylex  (!) etc) and was wondering if 
anyone has done checks of these in Windows environments such that it's 
suitable for getting back to Nagios.

Hi All,

I use check_sap_cons plugin, but I have a little problem. The value of Dialog Response Time randomly alternate between n*10 ms and n*10.000 ms, therefore notification me continuously WARNING or CRITICAL level (SAP works without problem).

(How) Can I modify the WARNING or CRITICAL level value of Response Time?

Thx,

Hi,

Is it possible to show in the service details, in the nagios web interface, particular hosts ?
I want to limit the view of my systems to my different administrators.
Ex: I have 3 groups of administrators : mail, domain and systems.
I want the users member of a particular hostgroup (mail) can only view the hosts and the services members of this hostgroup.

Davy.

Yes it is possible.
Basically it will use the same users that are in that contact group.
You naturally need to setup authentication as well.
I just scanned my config files to see what I did to get this working, 
but did not see anything besides turnign on authentication.

Hi,
you can limit who write in nagios.cmd using variable in cgi.cfg
     authorized_for_system_information=user_can_write_nagios.cmd
where "user_can_write_nagios.cmd" is the user you want.

No, nagios does not work in that way.

That "option is s a comma-delimited list of all usernames that
have access to viewing the Nagios process information", also the options
"authorized_for_all_service_commands=...." and
"authorized_for_all_host_commands=..." are not strong enought for me.

I need that only one user can schedul downtime, add comments, disable
checks...and so on. Right now the users can do it on theirs hosts/services.
This could be very dangerous because permit to "ingenuous" users to make
modifications which can stop the monitoring/notification.

Marco

Because the web server never accesses that directory. The web server
invokes /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/*.cgi (or whereever the CGI programs are
installed in your nagios installation). It doesn't (and cannot) know
what directories and files the CGI programs will access.

This is really basic Apache configuration. I repeat my suggestion to
read the documentation of your webserver and understand how CGI works.
There are also a lot of books about Apache available, which are probably
easier to read than the Apache docs (I generally like the O'Reilly
books, but cannot recommend any particular Apache book, since I haven't
read them).

Yes that's right. But you can do so.
The owner of all your hosts/service is your user that you want be able to change status/comment/downtime...
Put in the variable into cgi.cfg file users that can watch your service.
In my example I forget "user *can't* write".
If I don't explain me, please write me in italian, my english is very bad (sorry, I'm studing)

Most devices support SNMP, Promise and Adaptec do at least, so my guess
would be to use the SNMP plugin with the OIDs to get the information.

Hi all,

Has anyone done checking of hardware RAID in Windows environments, and 
getting that information back to Nagios? We've got multiple types of 
RAID adapters (Intel, Adaptec, Mylex  (!) etc) and was wondering if 
anyone has done checks of these in Windows environments such that it's 
suitable for getting back to Nagios.

Hi everyone,

  I'm using Nagios 2.0b2 and I've noticed that when a host with multiple
services goes down, it warns me for each service when it dies and
recovers.  Can someone clarify the way to set it up so that it warns me
only for the host?  I know it's supposed to check if the host is alive
first through the check_host_alive plugin, but that doesn't seem to
work... thanks!

Hi All,

I'm new to Nagios. I've just configured Nagios 1.2 on FreeBSD 4.7 as per
the documentation in Sourceforge but then I am not able to display
anything on the web interface. What I get on my browser is the actual

My Apache is running properly

Can someone please send some link(s) to some good documentation on how
to configure Nagios

Please help me out.

Vincent,

Is it possible that you might have some messed up html files? 
Specifically, are they possibly named incorrectly?  Check 
/usr/local/nagios/share/ to see if they are really .html files. I'd also 
fire up another browser or try lynx index.html to see what's going on. 
That's an interesting problem. I wish I could be more help.

Vincent,

You should also check to make sure that your ScriptAlias directive for
nagios in your httpd.conf file is correct.  Do you have the +ExecCGI
option set?

The problem you're describing sounds as though the Apache web server isn't
recognizing the cgi scripts...

So nobody has any idea why Nagios (2.0b2) would fail to create
"var/rw/nagios.cmd" as a FIFO ?

I've truss'd the nagios process as it starts up and it never attempts to make
such an object.

Nagios allows you to see the hosts you are listed as a contact for (I 
believe even if you are only in an escalation). Basically what you want 
to do is set up 3 contactgroups and put your admins in them as 
appropriate, then list the groups as the contacts for the hosts as 
appropriate.

I think I see the issue.  The apache is only protecting the webserver from
displaying content in the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw folder.  This
configuration has nothing to do with the execution of cgi's which call to
that folder outside of the apache server's controls.  To protect the
execution of cgi's, you need to protect the cgi folder:

    <Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin>
        AllowOverride None
        Options None
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from 10.212.0.0/255.255.255.0
    </Directory>

Adjust the folder path above to reflect your cgi-bin directory.

-Ben.

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if anybody knows of a French language translation for the Nagios interface and CGI's?  Any translation projects - even unfinished - underway, perhaps?  I know of German and Brasilian Portuguese translation projects, but not of anything en fran?ais.

 

Thank you!

Is is possible to go through a socks proxy to check a remote port either
with check_http or check_tcp.  I can't seem to find any information that
this will work at all.

Thanks guys

You have several instances of nagios running.
/etc/init.d/nagios stop
killall nagios
sleep 5
killall -9 nagios
sleep 10
/etc/init.d/nagios start

Repeat as necessary.

Subject: Meta Service Check
Message-ID: <1111428651.3648.21.camel@localhost>

Hi all,

I was wondering, has anyone created a Nagios plugin that can read the
Nagios status log, check the status of one or more services, and return
a result based on the current status of those services?

I want to create a check that sends me an SMS if, for example, three
services are down on the same host, but not one or two. I guess you
could call this a "meta check", since it just checks the results of othr
service checks.

I don't think this can be done using service dependencies or
escalations. With dependencies I think I could achieve the opposite, to
suppress notifications if three services are down, but that's not what I
want. 

If nobody has done this yet, then I'm happy to do it myself, but if it
already exists then I'd rather reuse the work of others than reinvent
the wheel.

Cheers, Chris.

Subject: Scheduling Downtime / Host Checks
Message-ID: <423F0ED1.6080909@ece.utk.edu>

Hey guys. I'm also rather new to Nagios. I've got my server up and 
running and things are going pretty smooth. I have it checking basic 
services on my hosts but there is still room to grow. I have two main 
questions.

I have to schedule downtime for every host I'm monitoring with Nagios. 
Is there a way I can do this for my defined hostgroups? I noticed when I 
goto the downtime portion of my web interface I schedule downtimes for 
services. This may be my best possibility since I'm really only checking 
a few services (ping, ssh, http, mail, etc) but I thought I should 
consult the experts.

I also have been trying to figure out the best way for me to monitor 
services on different hosts. I've looked at NRPE, but I'm curious if I 
couldn't get away with check_by_ssh. I have a global login to every 
machine that also has that user's homearea mounted. Should I be looking 
into check_by_ssh and have it execute a specific plugin? I read the FAQ 
on this but it left me with many questions. If anyone has a link to more 
information I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Noel Carroll

Hello,

I am running nagios 1.2 sine it is the most stable version. The default
available nrpe plugin is 2.0 ? Which says that it is not backwards
compatible ?

So I downloaded nrpe-1.9. 

Is there any major problems with 1.9 ? 

Michael.

check_cluster[2].pl in the plugins contrib directory is what I believe
you are looking for.

We create "nagios"-users on the monitored machines and then use
check_by_ssh with SSH-keys to check services remotely.

Message-ID: <1111431744.423f1a401be82@www7320.nrlssc.navy.mil>

I've noticed on my newer systems that the "check_local_procs" rule was returning
a warning.  Upon further inspection I've discovered that the "check_procs"
executable calls:

"/bin/ps" "-axwo" "stat uid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args"

(which generates a warning to stderr:
"Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ"
)

When it should be calling:

"/bin/ps" "axw" "-o" "stat uid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args"

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody knows of a French language translation for the Nagios interface and CGI's? ?Any translation projects - even unfinished - underway, perhaps?? I know of German and Brasilian Portuguese translation projects, but not of anything en fran?ais.

The rest of that sentence is important --

"... with NRPE 1.x clients/servers."

NRPE is a client/server program outside of nagios. This is simply saying
that you can't mix NRPE major versions. If you're not already running
any 1.x NRPE servers or clients then there are no worries.

Doesn't look like it. Based on the Changelog it's mostly a feature
enhancement release.

Subject: (Service Check Timed Out)
Message-ID: <000101c52e4c$1624a660$7e08e380@ufat>

I have successfully set up Nagios and it has been running for a few
weeks without any problems.  On Friday, two hosts that were being
monitored successfully gave a critical notice in the 'Status
Information' column of the 'Service Detail' page.  The odd thing is I
can run the check_snmp plugin via command line and receive an OK status
with valid data.  These two hosts are being monitored via snmp and I'm
stumped as to why it worked for two weeks and now it doesn't.
 
Help,

I never got any response to my message below I am sending it again as I 
really need to respond to this issue.  We are using Nagios 2.0b2 in a 
distributed setup.

I need some advice on this one, I am seeing a lot of this in my
/var/log/secure I have read that this is due to the cps setting in the
nsca xined.d config... which is fine, except I have mine set to 5000 cps
and am still getting the xinetd: FAIL: nsca service_limit message.  I
don't think I could actually be getting more then 5000 nsca connections
per second, is there anything else that could cause that? and is the
only fix raising the limit until it's no longer warning? is there a way 
to set it to unlimited?

On the off chance that someone else finds this useful, If I am at the 
web interface and click "HostGroup Overview" and then click the 
hostgroup that is in () ie. (flux-lab) for me, I am then given the 
option of "Scheduling downtime for all hosts in this hostgroup" which is 
what I wanted.

I'm not sure what's up with the duration being set to a default of 7200 
mins or 2hrs but I'm hoping if I select "Fixed" and use Start / End 
dates that I'll be ok. If not, my boss is going to kill me for taking 
down our mail server with lots and lots of email.

Why is this option not available for the main "Downtime" option on the 
web interface? Is there any kind of bug tracker of feature tracker I can 
check out? It seems like I should be able to schedule this from the 
"Downtime" menu shouldn't I?

Is it a common practice to have a hostgroup like 'allhosts' and have 
every hostgroup I define listed there? The physical plant here at UT 
likes to turn off power to our building often times and this situation 
comes up quite often.

I know, I know, where's the patch right? I wish I could help...

Subject: Big Brother -> Nagios daemon
Message-ID: <032e01c52e60$41405380$01fea8c0@itss.auckland.ac.nz>

I have now a working daemon, written in C for UNIX, that will accept Big
Brother alerts on port 1984 and convert these to Nagios commands which it
places into the Nagios queue.  We are successfully running this here on our
system for both NT and Unix BB agents; however there are doubtless some
problems, not least in date parsing and the overly-general format of a BB
alert.

I know there is an existing daemon to do this written in Perl; however, as
it is not xinetd based and requires Perl it is single-threaded and cannot
cope with a very high number of messages.  The C version is hooked in via
xinetd, which allows throttling and multi-threading.

If anyone would like to try this on their system, please contact me via
email.  It makes migration from BB to Nagios much easier, and is working OK
here

Subject: massive service check latencies
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0503211344080.10907-100000@localhost.localdomain>

I've been having a horrible time with service check latencies. I've got
~6k services so I thought at first maybe my hardware couldn't keep up.  
But after moving to much beefier hardware, things have actually gotten
worse, not better. So I figured, I'd been running a recent beta...
maybe one of the new checkins fixed something. I tried to pull down the
latest from CVS this morning, and it has the same situation.

So now I think I just have a basic misunderstanding of the way nagios
schedules checks. Here's how I've tweaked my settings to try to make 
things run more frequently:

service_inter_check_delay_method=n
max_service_check_spread=60
service_interleave_factor=s
host_inter_check_delay_method=n
max_host_check_spread=60
max_concurrent_checks=0
service_reaper_frequency=5

What I notice is that checks are queued up several dozen at a time, and
that they all have to finish before the next batch can begin. As far as I
can tell, there is no way to make the size of the batch grow, or to stop
waiting for all checks to finish before moving on. The hardware (dual 2.8
xeon with 2.5GB of ram dedicated to monitoring) is not at all stressed.


Interestingly, while my service check latencies average around 500 
seconds, my host check latencies are well under 1 second, which is what I 
would expect. FWIW, I've got about 2300 hosts.

Oh, and the average execution time for both service and host checks is 
about 3 seconds.

I've got the following two directives in my NSCA xinetd config:

The event handler is now working also.

No. Per protocol bandwidth usage is hard to get unless you have a sniffer 
and a RMON probe or have a NetFlow source and collector.

For the former - NTOP.org
For the latter - FlowScan/flow-tools or NTOP

Hi

in the hosts.cfg is a parameter called 'parents'. I have understood
the idea of 'parents' and find it great. However, in what cfg do I
specify a parent? 
When testing the config I'm getting this:
Error: 'switch' is not a valid parent for host 'host1'!
        Checked 1 hosts.

Thanks

Well,

I try to follow this way but, if I do this I will be unable to see at all
the menu of nagios (Host detail, Service detail, Status grid, Service
Problems....and so on).
It is useless.

-}I think I see the issue.  The apache is only protecting the webserver from
-}displaying content in the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw folder.  This
-}configuration has nothing to do with the execution of cgi's which call to
-}that folder outside of the apache server's controls.  To protect the
-}execution of cgi's, you need to protect the cgi folder:
-}
-}    <Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin>

-}        Options None
-}        Order Allow,Deny
-}        Allow from 10.212.0.0/255.255.255.0

Hmm. Well, I suppose I could create my own rpms, but I don't think that
would fix the failed tests %.

I should have also added that I read the REQUIREMENTS file and loaded up
sufficiently there.

Hi all,
 
I would like to know if Nagios has some utility for automatic net discovery or it only be possible if I put the hosts name in the file "host.cfg".
 
Thanks

Hi Marc,

Indeed it is, thank you. I wrote a small wrapper script around it to
make it easier to call from Nagios (avoid having to pipe stuff in on the
standard input).

Perhaps this check could be better named? I think check_cluster is
somewhat nondescript. I thought it would apply to Beowulf clusters only
:-)

Cheers, Chris.

Do you have a host called "switch" that can be a parent for your "host1"?

Yes, that host "switch" is the switch connecting the nagios and the
host1 box.

Hi 
    I am new to nagios or  any network monitoring
tools , I was successful to install and configure the
cfg file in etc directory 
                 Now I would like to configure nagios
for giving me more info of the process , I did  add
the following in 
     
# Service definition
define service{
        use                            
generic-service         ; Name of service template to
use

        host_name                       joseph
        service_description             Total
Processes
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            2
        contact_groups                  linux-admins
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                  
check_local_procs!150!200!RSZDT!v
        }

But when I check the service status  details ,  what I
get for process is 
 
Total Processes



WARNING 03-22-2005 14:36:40 0d 0h 41m 50s 3/3 System
call sent warnings to stderr 

 I would like to get more info about the links for the
documentation for configuring to get more info of  
check_procs  , also any other advice on configuration 
will also will help me  a lot 
                    Thanks

Great! So parents are treated as normal hosts in the hosts.cfg then? I
did not specify such a hosts.cfg for the host 'switch'. 
I'll frist try this.

thanks a lot.

I personally think the name fits it's purpose but a description should
be added to the README.TXT. Unfortunately I have no direct control over
that. Maybe Mr. Gosh or Mr. Hopcroft could add it?

Subject: Documentation bug?
Message-ID: <1111507170.3648.48.camel@localhost>

Hi all,

Reading the Nagios 1.x documentation online, I came across this
sentence:

> As I mentioned earlier, freshness checking is of most use when you are
> dealing with services that get their results from passive checks. More
> often than not (as in the case with distributed monitoring setups),
> these services may not be getting all of their results from passive
> checks - no results are obtained from active checks. 
[http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/freshness.html]

Either I don't understand it properly, or the second sentence
contradicts itself. If the service does not obtain ALL its results from
passive checks, then it must obtain SOME from active checks (there is no
other way?) - but NONE are obtained from active checks either?

If it is wrong, how does one go about getting the documentation fixed?
If it's right, could it be rewritten more clearly?

Cheers, Chris.

Send a suggested improvement/clarification to the list. Ethan will usually 
pick it up.

A diff is probably better.

That sounds like something that should be integrated with MRTG
and checked via the check_mrtg plugin.

When implementing other NMS, it usually takes a period of time to get
everything installed.  I've seen HPOV take upwards to 6 - 12 months to
become a "stable" installation.

To answer the question though, if your site is less than 100 or so nodes,
you can have Nagios up and stable in less than a month.  I'm including
acquiring and installing Nagios and also making the site specific
customizations.  If you want to just show Nagios off, you can have it up
and running in one afternoon.

  Hai,
          I installed the Nagios-Graphs and Nagiostat
add-ons from the nagios addons page in nagios.org
site. 
I installed as per instructions given in the README
file. 
But after the installation, when i go to the browser i
am getting the error,
     Forbidden
  You don't have permission to access /nagiosgraph/ on
this server.
 
  Also the same error when i configure /nagiostat
after that. So i think i am stuck with the httpd.conf
file configuration.Is it because of the cgi's in the
/nagios   directory which is working fine. I tried to
configre both the add-ons with and without
authentication.. stlill the same error. so please help
me as soon as possible....

 /.thanks and regards./

hi!

what does "it doesn't work right" mean?

check which user runs the nagios-daemon (normally it will be "nagios")
then check if the user has appropriate rights to manipulate (read/write) the 
files you want to check.

greetinx!

Hi Michael,

we use NagMin as a plugin to Webmin. All configuration is stored in MySQL
and on-demand written out into some .cnf files that Nagios will read. A
"Test Config" button is available, too.

Have a look at interval_length in the nagios config, by default it's set at
60 seconds, meaning all your other intervals are multiples of that i.e.
minutes.

Subject: Question for macros for host-notify-by-email
Message-ID: <20050323093648.GZ5864@arktur.dfn.de>

Hi all,

I have a simple problem with my configs for the host-notify-by-email
command. I have defined the following:

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

But inside the email I got this:

--- cut here ---
***** Nagios  *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: bla.fasel.org
State: DOWN
Address: 222.211.200.2
Info: $

Date/Time: $
--- cut here ---

Seems that the macros for $DATETIME$ and $OUTPUT$ have changed or what is
the problem?

Regards, Holger

Message-ID: <AF23C0CF7743994AA73B06BFD581A57CE020E6@ksabsstoexch01.kunskapsskolan.se>

I realise that my question is unclear. I'm refering to the fact that 2.0 still is in beta. 
We are running v.1.2 currently and are interested in the v.2.0.

I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of how much time it might take before 2.0 can go into a stable (non-beta) state.

Any idea?


Best regards, 
Sebastian Bergstroem

I had moved from 1.9 something to 2.0b2 with no problems at all.  I was
happy to move and I am glad I did.  I have 157 host checks and 201 services
that I check without any issues.  I found that 2.x seems to run a ton better
than the older release.

Subject: DOWN status not captured?
Message-ID: <d81d63520503220634100874cb@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everybody,
I'm using Nagios 1.2 with freebsd 5.3. i have been using Nagios for
the last few weeks without any problems until yesterday.

I have configured check_ping on a particular interface on my juniper m
router. I set the ip add of that interface to be 10.11.105.88. Some
time later, i changed the ip add of that interface and i even
restarted the nagios daemon via external commands (though i shd not
need to do that). However, for the whole day (i went off after that,
totally forgetting about the change in ip add), Nagios did not raise
any alerts even though pinging that ip add configured in Nagios should
return DOWN. Via the cgi, the service status still showed UP.
Everything else was ok... the checks were enabled (can tell from the
time of last check and next scheduled check), notifcations were
enabled etc. When i tried to ping 10.11.105.88 from the machine on
which nagios sits, i got Destination unreachable reply. So why is it
that the cgi still showed an ok status??

Eventually i shut down the nagios process via external command and
restarted it using command line at the freebsd machine. Only then did
it detect that ip add to be down. My question is this: has this
happened to someone before? Is it a bug with v1.2? I'm very worried
about this coz i dun want to be sleeping through an outage due to the
lack of alerts. I'm very sure it's not coz of my config as i've been
running on this config for some time.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

if you are using a Nagios 2.x it might be that your macros have changed.

See here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html
or for older Versions:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/macros.html

Hendrik

I have posted a collection of nrpe-nt script monitors that use the 
Microsoft network and WMI to get monitoring and performance information 
on remote Windows hosts without requiring the installation of any agents 
(no not even nrpe-nt) on those remote hosts...

These scripts provide the ablility to do agentless monitoring of Windows 
servers. The URL to download them is:

This approach can easily be expanded. Tell me what you think.

Hi all

I know that setting to "0" the checks_enabled variable into hosts.cfg file I
will stop the host checking.

If I perform via CGI the same action (pressing "Disable checks of this
host") WHERE nagios will "write" this setting ?
I saw that nothing changed into hosts.cfg file.

I have same doubts for other actions performed via CGI.

Thanks

Marco

Hello all,

First of all, I am french so excuse my awful english (I try to
increase my level but it's difficult)
I am using Nagios 1.2 with mysql support.
OK then, the problem is that I want, for an host down/up notification
that nagios launches another script more a mail.
I have the mail but my script isnt' launched ... Why ?

Here my service.cfg
define service{
       use                             generic-service
       host_name                       hpovtest

       retry_check_interval            1
       contact_groups                  nt-admins

       }

And the 'contact'define contact{
       contact_name                    g-renard
       alias                           Guillaume RENARD

       host_notification_options       d,u,r
       service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
       host_notification_commands     
host-notify-by-email,host-notify-by-alerte
       email                   g-renard at arte-tv.com
       ]

The host-notify by alerte is defines in misccommands.cfg :
# 'host-notify-by-alerte' command definition
define command{
       command_name    host-notify-by-alerte
       command_line    /bin/touch /home/nagios/alerte
       }

But... I have mail but never my alerte file in /home/nagios...

So what can the problem be ??

Thanks for your help !!!

Hi,

I am having a few problems get Nagios up and running on a Debian box with
MySQL.  Software was installed using APT.

I have successfully got the web interface setup, database schema created, it
logging data to SQL and when clicking on a CGI item in the web interface it
issues a select statement to MySQL.

What I am finding puzzling is the below debug from MySQL.

Why is it deleting all existing row data from these three tables prior to
inserting the new data.  Surely this can not be the correct behaviour?

Kind Regards

Ben

This is an easy one.

Just write a wrapper script to contain your dynamic values in it.

like this:

---begin script---
#!/bin/sh
NAGIOSDIR="/usr/local/nagios/libexec"
PLUGIN="check_file_age"
WARN=600
CRIT=1200
LOG="/usr/hns/pdreceiver/received/`ls -t /usr/hns/pdreceiver/received
| head -n 1`"

$NAGIOSDIR/$PLUGIN -w $WARN -c $CRIT $LOG
---end script---
and then have a corresponding line in nrpe.cfg:

command[check_somelogfileifyoufeellikeit]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/myownpluginwrapper.sh

-------------------------------------------------------

Hello:

I want to use the check_file_age plugin to tell me the age of the
newest file in a directory.  Something like this works from the
command-line:

"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_file_age -w 600 -c 1200
/usr/hns/pdreceiver/received/`ls -t /usr/hns/pdreceiver/received |
head -n 1`"

but if I try to place this line in the nrpe.cfg file it doesn't work
right.  Is there a way to do what I'm trying to accomplish?

Thanks

Aaron

To put it bluntly: Who Cares?

There are so many of us running it in production (I, myself, have been
doing so since "alpha"), isn't that good enough?

There will always be bugs, no matter what you call it (alpha, beta, pr,
rc, gold, etc).

In my, and I'm sure many others', experience, super-pre-double-alpha
code from a nice community-supported project like this is still going to
have less bugs than anything similar from Microsoft no matter how many
"final" versions they have.

And if something major does come up, there's usually a fix/work-around
in a few hours or days, not weeks or months.

So, just run it.  If you don't like it, I'll buy you a coke.

Note that Nagios itself it won't be using MySQL for
configuration, instead NagMin will be exporting the config to
text files and restarting Nagios.

Just because you walk the bleeding edge doesn't mean everyone else wants to.

I'm not opposed to using software that's still under development, but I 
try to avoid it whenever possible in production environments.  If its as 
good as you say it is, then maybe it shouldn't be called beta, but 
that's an argument to be made with the developers, not the users.

For most projects, terms like 'alpha' and 'beta' have certain meanings 
in regards to how stable/tested the code is and how likely it is to 
change before final release.  And likewise, official releases tend to 
not do things like drastically change the config layout as part of a 
bugfix, whereas an alpha or beta might.

You may have no problems with it, and that's great.  However, there are 
people out there whose job performance is tied to how well stuff like 
this operates.  As such, they tend to make the wise choice of waiting 
for an official release before investing time setting up something and 
risking having to completely change your setup in a couple of weeks.  To 
many professionals, having an official (as opposed to beta) release is 
an indication from the developers that this code is ready for prime time 
and will have bugfixes that don't cause you to rework things.

While I understand your statement, and for the most part, agree with
the underlying intent, some of us are forced to care.

At the moment, I'm working for a fortune 100 company.  I would be
crucified if I used a *beta* software in a production capacity.  This
company has just barely allowed Linux, and several other well known
open source applications (Apache, Tomcat)  for use to begin with.

For those of us in environments such as this, we *must* wait until the
beta is declared successful, and that tag is removed from the version.

Does that mean that there won't be bugs?  Of course not.  Does that
mean that the processes for support or bugfixes change?  Again, of
course not.  That's the just the rules in places like this.

But... I have mail but never my alerte file in /home/nagios...

So what can the problem be ??

I thought someone already answered this...

In nagios.cfg --

# INTERVAL LENGTH
# This is the seconds per unit interval as used in the
# host/contact/service configuration files.  Setting this to 60 means
# that each interval is one minute long (60 seconds).  Other settings
# have not been tested much, so your mileage is likely to vary...

interval_length=60

Changing interval_length to 1 would mean a 'check_interval 30' would be
30 seconds.

Hi,

I have the same problem like many others here.
I updated nagios from 1.2 to 2.0b2 and the nagios plugins to from 1.3x to
1.4.
Now check_ping isn't working.

/bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 1 xx.xx.xx.xx
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command

It's on fedora core2 kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC2 and on redhat enterprise 4
kernel 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.
The old check_ping plugin worked without any problems.
What's the difference?
And is there any possibility to get the new check_ping plugin to working?

I also tested check_icmp. It works when starting from console, but not if
nagios is running.

Thanks!

Nicole

It is hard enough to talk large companies into using opensource products without having to explain to them it is a Beta. I have several companies that I monitor remotely and will not run a beta version. It would look to my clients like do not care if I can actually support them or not. Also In my testing (which admittedly just started) I am having trouble with Distributed Nagios instances. I believe it is just a config issue and have not had much time to research it but Version 2.0 is not as stable as 1.2 as far as I can see.

I'm not opposed to using software that's still under development, but I 
try to avoid it whenever possible in production environments.  If its as 
good as you say it is, then maybe it shouldn't be called beta, but 
that's an argument to be made with the developers, not the users.

For most projects, terms like 'alpha' and 'beta' have certain meanings 
in regards to how stable/tested the code is and how likely it is to 
change before final release.  And likewise, official releases tend to 
not do things like drastically change the config layout as part of a 
bugfix, whereas an alpha or beta might.

You may have no problems with it, and that's great.  However, there are 
people out there whose job performance is tied to how well stuff like 
this operates.  As such, they tend to make the wise choice of waiting 
for an official release before investing time setting up something and 
risking having to completely change your setup in a couple of weeks.  To 
many professionals, having an official (as opposed to beta) release is 
an indication from the developers that this code is ready for prime time 
and will have bugfixes that don't cause you to rework things.

Does anyone know how much more needs to be done in order to get Nagios v.2.0 stable?
One month, a quarter, six months?

Any responses are deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Since there are few details about what version you are using, I am going
to assume that you are using 1.x config files with a 2.x installation of
nagios. There have been significant changes to the macros with 2.x and
you should review any that you are using.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html

In this case, I think you're looking for $HOSTOUTPUT$ and either
$LONGDATETIME$ or $SHORTDATETIME$, depending on which you want.

Bleeding edge?  Please.

Best tool for the job.  I did my diligence running it in my skunkworks
environment, established what problems needed to be avoided (mostly,
embedded perl.  Notably, in the "stable" release, this is equally a
problem) and made allowances for that.

And if no one ever runs it In Real Life, no problems get found.  Not
having any bug reports doesn't mean it's stable.  It means it's unused
and no one knows.

It's one guy's decision who may or may not care what it's called.  Why
do you?

Test it (out of production) to your own satisfaction.

Oh?  As I said before, how is it that "stable" code from [some]
commercial companies have so many more problems than beta [and sometimes
alpha] code from the OSS community?

So test it.
Are you saying you'd do a blind deployment because Ethan says "I think
it's fine"?

I have several companies that I monitor remotely and will not run a beta version. It would look to my clients like do not care if I can actually support them or not. Also In my testing (which admittedly just started) I am having trouble with Distributed Nagios instances. I believe it is just a config issue and have not had much time to research it but Version 2.0 is not as stable as 1.2 as far as I can see.

I run a distributed 2.0 environment (3 dist sites, the central server
also doing active checks).

I had a large boost in performance and stability from going to 2.0.

Beta doesn't mean ANYTHING.

If beta *meant* the code was *necessarily* more stable, explain anything
from Redmond to me.

Nope, there?s not really any way to do automatic network discovery with
Nagios. Though you could write a simple perl or shell script that will parse
the output.. 

Actually, after thinking about this.. It would be pretty useful. A Korn
script is below. :)

To run, "./generate-nagios-hosts.sh <ip address range>"
E.g.:
    ./generate-nagios-hosts.sh 10.0.0.0/24


Basic sh/ksh script. Requires NMAP, awk, & sed, and a template file for
basic hostname generation. Edit the template as needed. Use the following
key words for your substitutions.

@@FQDN@@ = fully qualified domain name of the host (if known)
@@ALIAS@@ = just the hostname of the host (if known)
@@HOSTIP@@ = Host's IP address.

Example host-template.cfg:
--- Begin host-template.cfg
Define host {
    use             generic-host
    host_name       @@FQDN@@
    alias           @@ALIAS@@
    address         @@HOSTIP@@
    check_command   check-host-alive
}

-- End host-template.cfg

The script is short & sweet, about 50 lines including comments & whitespace:
-- Begin Script
#!/bin/sh
# Set some basic defaults used by the script.

# Where is the host template file?
TEMPLATE=/home/jeffm/src/nagios-autodisc/host-template.cfg

# Where is SED?
SED=/usr/bin/sed

# Where is AWK?
AWK=/usr/local/bin/awk

# Where are we storing our output?
# Suggest you don't use your existing hosts.cfg, create a NEW
# file and merge it in later!
HOSTCFG="/home/jeffm/src/nagios-autodisc/autogen.cfg"

# NMAP location and options to use EXCEPT for the range to scan.
# which is picked up by the argument on the command line.
# -S is used to specify source IP. You'll want to update
# this IP address, I'm sure. :)
NMAP="/usr/local/bin/nmap -sP -T Normal -S 10.0.0.23 "

# IF no arguments were passed, exit with a usage error.
if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]
then
        echo "USAGE: `basename $0` [ip range]"
        echo "EXAMPLE: `basename $0` 10.0.0.0/24"
        exit 1
fi

# Fire off nmap, and grep for "up"
$NMAP $1 | grep up |grep -v scanned |grep -v 255 |
while read a b c d
do
        # NMAP output from the above should be something like:
        # Host my.host.com (10.0.0.1) appears to be up.
        #
        # so;
        #       a = "Host"
        #       b = "my.host.com"
        #       c = "(10.0.0.1)"
        #       d = "appears to be up"
        # in theory. :)
        FQ=$b
        hostip=`echo $c | $SED -e 's/(//g' -e 's/)//g'`
        nodename=`echo $b | $AWK -F. '{print $1}'`

        echo "Found host: $FQ ($hostip) - using alias: $nodename"

        # OK. SED pisses me off. -e 's/something/$variable/' doesn't work
        # because SED refuses to expand $variable. So we have to create
        # a stupid script file.
        echo "s/@@FQDN@@/$FQ/" > /tmp/sed.script
        echo "s/@@HOSTIP@@/$hostip/" >> /tmp/sed.script
        echo "s/@@ALIAS@@/$nodename/" >> /tmp/sed.script

        $SED -f /tmp/sed.script $TEMPLATE >> $HOSTCFG

done
rm /tmp/sed.script
# All done. 
# EOF

-- End script

You could probably extend this to check for services on well-known ports
(http/https, smtp, ftp, etc). Right now all the thing does is ping.

Enjoy, improve, or ridicule as needed. :)

Looks like a great idea.

I'll definitely check those out.  I'm leaving the contract assignment
where I deployed Nagios, but if these work out well, I'll definitely
recommend them to the people I worked with.

Subject: Check_ping Problem... part ???
Message-ID: <42412BE8.6050103@gmx.net>

Hi,

I have the same problem like many others here.
I updated nagios from 1.2 to 2.0b2 and the nagios plugins to from 1.3x 
to 1.4.
Now check_ping isn't working.

/bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 1 xx.xx.xx.xx
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command

It's on fedora core2 kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC2 and on redhat enterprise 4 
kernel 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.
The old check_ping plugin worked without any problems.
What's the difference?
And is there any possibility to get the new check_ping plugin to working?

I also tested check_icmp. It works when starting from console, but not 
if nagios is running.

Thanks!

Nicole

There's also an nmap2nagios addon that already exists. I haven't used it personally but it's available here --

stability schmability. Just cause 99% of users are stable (including 
hugh installs) doesn't mean you will be stable, just means you are less 
likely to be unstable.

More to the point perhaps is support. The level of support for 2.0 beta

edit the code and make it say "stable" ;)

Okay, I see your point.

I'll amend my opinion to begin "Unless it's a matter of policy..."

I will say, though, I am very glad I don't have to be stifled by such
arbitrariness.  I am expected to provide the best there is to offer, not
provide it in any certain way.  A major pet peeve of mine (such that I
would be very actively looking for work should it occur at this point in
my career) is someone who doesn't know any better (often referred to as
"management") telling me *what* to implement, as opposed to what the end
goal is.  I've been doing this a long time - I am fully capable of
determining the right tool for the job.

Also, *very* fortunately, my boss is a strong OSS believer (to the
occasional dismay of some of the higher-ups) and I don't ever have to
justify what tools I'm using.  I just do it, and show the results.

Please refrain from posting this kind of email. Noone here is paid to 
answer, so if you don't get a quick response that probably means
a) People are busy with other things.
b) Those who have seen your post don't know the answer.
c) Noone will ever answer because you haven't posted enough info/read

Subject: NC_Net EVENTLOG quirk
Message-ID: <2638AB7E1672B842901B0B49421B87DF0FCD60@mpc00email3.micronpc.com>

I have been successful in getting this check to work with one exception.  I am trying to get notifications of whenever Norton AntiVirus makes a specific log entry and it doesn't seem to work.  

For instance, when it logs an entry to state that the definitions are current,  Windows logs the following:

Source:Norton AntiVirus
EventID:16
Type:Information
Description:Virus Definitions are current.

When I run this check, it does not work.... 
./check_nc_net -H hostname -v EVENTLOG -l "application,any,1440,1,Norton AntiVirus,0,1,16"
OK: No entries in application log recently.

But when I generalize the check, it comes back with an entry......
./check_nc_net -H hostname -v EVENTLOG -l "application,any,1440,1,Norton AntiVirus,0,0"
14 Errors with ID: 16711696;16711704;16711703;16711685;16711683;16711686;16711686;16711686;16711686;16711686;16711686;16711686;16711685;;Virus Found!Virus name: EICAR Test String in File: C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-790525478-1547161642-1801674531-500\Dc466.txt by: Scheduled sca;.  Action: Clean failed : Quarantine succeeded :


I have noticed that the checks that aren't working correctly either have spaces in the source name or under 3 digit ID's.  Is this just coincidence??  In the documentation it states that it "ignores extra white space in the Regular expression".

Any other Event ID check works fine, i.e...

Source:NC_Net
EventID:3005
Type:Information
Description:NC_Net Service Ending:-NC_Net 2.21 03/13/05

./check_nc_net -H hostname -v EVENTLOG -l application,any,1440,0,0,1,3005
1 Errors with ID: 3005 LAST - ID 3005: NC_Net Service Ending :-NC_Net 2.21 02/25/05


I have tried this on v2.20 and v2.21 with the same result.  

Thanks in advance for the help!!

I think you've got your versions mixed up. The last official 1.x release

I and my direct manager share your affinity to open source, however,
when you're part of an organization that has 190+ subsidiaries
(totally over 100K people), you either do what the "standards" group
tells you to do, or you're shown the door.  The only reason I was
allowed to implement Nagios in this environment is because the
standards group has yet to determine a path forward for monitoring. 
One week it's OpenView, the next it's Tivoli, the next it's NetIQ.  So
we've deployed this until someone makes the final decision on which
way to go.  That still doesn't keep us safe from the *no beta
software* rule.  So we do what we must to get by.

In this environment, the only way that's going to change is to get
someone more open source friendly into the standards group.

Hopefully anyone else reading this will take it into consideration
when you're out doing job interviews.  It may not be a deciding factor
for you in what position you do/don't accept, but it'll definitely be
good to know the stance of your  future employer regarding open

Yes, I worry about unstable users too... Especially the kind that go 
postal.  Although I think it is more likely that users are unstable than 
myself (converse to what this message seems to imply about the sys 
admins...).  Or maybe it is the fact that users are so unstable it drives 
admins to be unstable too? :P

I would just easily end this by giving everyone a link to the Nagios 2.0 
Road Map, however I wasn't able to find one on the Nagios Page, does 
anyone know if a proper roadmap exists...

 From what I understand Nagios 2.0 is already a year over due, I 
remember seeing e-mail last December that the first beta was to be 
released, it was almost a year later before that happened..

Nagios is undeniably a great program but the project doesn't seem to run 
like most other enterprise level open source projects.

that of course is just IMHO from my 3 years being a part of the Nagios 
Community.

OSS vs Redmond aside, any user who takes a developers word for "stable" 
and doesn't test before implementing deserves to lose their job. If the 
production environment isn't important enough for there to be room in 
the budget for one or two evaluation servers, it probably doesn't matter 
what software you run. You'll get burnt just the same.


It's worth noting here that OSS software has nothing to gain from 
offering their software as stable when it isn't tested, while 
proprietary software vendors (such as symantec, microsoft etc) do.

Could you explain a bit more about the requirements for this, and the 
inner workings of the plugins? "No client" is just bull. Using a builtin 
method of running programs or retrieving values (as a client) is a 
different matter. How does authentication work between the hosts?

We use a project called NeDi that works pretty well for Network Discovery. 

http://nedi.web.psi.ch/

I've been using editors to create Nagios config from the output, but I'm
working on a conversion script.  I'll post it when I get it going.

Nah, I had 2.x alpha to play around with over summer. It was released 
sometime in april unless I'm much mistaken. "released beta" in this case 
means "available for developers as a CVS checkout". The first snapshot 
wasn't until much later.

That's because it isn't an enterprise level opensource project. If 
you're thinking GCC, Samba, MySQL or Linux (as in "the linux kernel"), 
those projects have substantial corporate backing with several full-time 
employees writing code. Ethan maintains Nagios alone, and he is the only 
one with write access to the CVS repository.

As a "solution-vendor", you can't ever dodge the responsibility to test, 
test, test and test the solutions you intend to sell. Also, you should 
get around to doing some testing.

If you're interested in making Nagios stable so you can sell it, you 
should hunt for bugs ferociously and submit patches upstream. It might 
even be worth spending a couple of company bucks on it.

You need to define the hostextinfo in the cgi.cgf something like this:

xedtemplate_config_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg

Then the entry you did with the image info goes in hostextinfo.cfg.

Subject: check_nagios flapping
Message-ID: <BAY23-F6BAF711FA49738B24DCB6B24F0@phx.gbl>

Hi there.

I have two nagios boxes in two separate datacentres, and in the interests of 
redundancy I decided to have them run check_nagios on each other.

Initial testing of the service was great,  but it doesn't seem to matter 
what I do,  I can't keep it from flapping.

One server is running Nagios 1.3 with plugins 1.31,  the other is running 
nagios 2.02b and plugins 1.41.  Both flapping at each other like a couple 
of.... well I won't continue with taht simile in the interests of public 
decency,  but I think you get the idea.  ;-)

HAs anyone else had this problem?

How often does nagios cycle that logfile that cehck_nagios does an age check 
thing...?

Could it be causing problems if it sees more than one process?  (for some 
reason occasionally it reports more than one,  I assume that is because it 
is matching the child processes that actually do the checking.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Nemir

Subject: Notification

Hi guys,

I need to increase my notifications in the Nagios. I put in my 
services.cfg this:

         max_check_attempts              5
         normal_check_interval           5
         retry_check_interval            3
         contact_groups                  server-admins
         notification_interval           300

but, the notifications arrive of 1 in 1 minute in my cell phone. I would 
like to change this for 5 in 5 minutes. What I need to do? Do I need 
to change only services.cfg?

Thanks for all.

Mario Sergio

I tried SNMP.

AIX's snmpd in 5.2 doesn't fully implement the Host Resources MIB.

I had to fall back to pushing data to Nagios via passive checks using

Subject: Event handlers
Message-ID: <1111602150.9924.460.camel@localhost>

Hi all,

I have an interesting problem with Nagios event handlers, and I hope
that someone here will find the problem interesting or be willing to
help me.

I'm trying to use Nagios to monitor the realservers in our load balancer
setup, and an event handler to remove failing servers from the load
balancing pool, and add them back again when they come back up.

I have Nagios configured to monitor each server at the host level, a
number of services on the host, and a "virtual" service combining
various real services using the check_cluster plugin. 

The idea is that if too many of the services on the host go critical, or
the host itself goes down, it should be removed from the pool until it
recovers.

However, I'm having difficulty in making the script respond
appropriately to Nagios events. A typical sequence of Nagios events,
when I manually reboot one of the servers, goes like this:

* HOST DOWN
* HOST UP
* SERVICE CRITICAL (the host is "up", but the web server isn't running
yet)
* SERVICE OK (web server up and running)

At the moment, the script removes the host from the pool if either the
host is DOWN, or the service is not OK. However, in the above sequence,
there is a "false OK" period after the host is reported UP, and before
the service is reported CRITICAL. During this time, the host is in the
pool when it shouldn't be.

If I ignore either HOST or SERVICE events, then it doesn't work properly
either. If I reboot the host, then I don't get a SERVICE DOWN event
until after it comes back up, and maybe not even then, depending on
exactly when the next service check is scheduled.

It seems to me that although you don't want to send a notification about
services being down when the host is down, it would be useful for event
handlers to know about it. Then I could just write a script to pay
attention to the SERVICE and ignore the HOST state entirely.

Can anyone think of a way to improve the script or the event handling in
Nagios to make this work better? 

Perhaps I should have a fake host with check_dummy as the host
check_command, and copy the service state from the real host? That might
work but it seems really ugly and hacky, not to mention difficult to do
efficiently and make respond quickly. 

Perhaps an OCSP command which detects certain types of events, rewrites
them to a different host name and posts them back to Nagios as external
commands? Or maybe change my event handler script to an OCSP script?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers, Chris.

Are you making an alert text file?  The command_line should actually
be a command that does something such a script.  this "command_line   
/bin/touch /home/nagios/alerte" is incorrect.

Read the apache documentation and error logs. You will find your answer 
there, and possibly learn the valuable lesson of reading logs and

I assume you're running the very latest of the 2.x branch then.

 From nagios docs, regarding service_inter_check_delay_method;
n = Don't use any delay - schedule all service checks to run immediately 
(i.e. at the same time!)

Perhaps this would be better of as 0.3 or s (s meaning nagios determines 
how often it needs to check things).

> max_service_check_spread=60

With this statement you're telling nagios to spread its checks over an 
entire hour. The docs also say that this overrides 
service_inter_check_delay ("if necessary", whatever that means).

> service_interleave_factor=s

Seems correct.

> host_inter_check_delay_method=n
> max_host_check_spread=60

Either you've overconfigured your nagios, or you have enabled scheduled 
hostchecks without reading the docs about it. Host checks are executed 
in serial (one at a time), so you'll see some serious service check 
latencies if you have them enabled.

> service_reaper_frequency=5
> 

This seems right, but if load isn't high you should set 
service_reaper_frequency lower. Try 2 or something.

Non-true. Service checks are scheduled and run on-demand. Scheduled 
hostchecks fuck up the service check scheduling.

With perl checks you can most likely cut that to 20% with this simple 
sed line;
sed -i -e 's/\(^#.*/bin/perl\).*/\1/' -e 's/use strict;/# \&/'
sed 4.0.9 or higher required (for the -i switch). In effect, it removes 
the strict pragma and all switches (such as -wT) for perl.

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0503231127060.7032@iris01.slac.stanford.edu>

Hi,

I am gathering some temperature sensor information via Nagios'
passive service check. This works fine and the current data is
displayed on the web page "Service Status Details For Host Group".

What I cannot get to work is to hand the current values to my
performance data handler which would put them in a DB.

The performance data handler processes a lot of other actively
collected data and works fine there.

Is there any way to do this?

Many thanks,
                 Alf.

The latest I see on the website is Nagios 1.2 (for the 1.x series).

Jeff, 

I care because as a company who sells solutions to corporations, the
word beta is scary.  While I agree it does appear to work, I also want
to penetrate markets that may not be a traditional open source
customer.

Bad grammar, sorry...  Need more coffee.

To put it bluntly: Who Cares?

There are so many of us running it in production (I, myself, have been
doing so since "alpha"), isn't that good enough?

There will always be bugs, no matter what you call it (alpha, beta,
pr,
rc, gold, etc).

In my, and I'm sure many others', experience, super-pre-double-alpha
code from a nice community-supported project like this is still going
to
have less bugs than anything similar from Microsoft no matter how many
"final" versions they have.

And if something major does come up, there's usually a fix/work-around
in a few hours or days, not weeks or months.

So, just run it.  If you don't like it, I'll buy you a coke.

Huh? In what way is /bin/touch any different than /bin/echo or any other
executable on the file system? Nagios makes no distinction between them
and simply attempts to run the process. The command definition below is
just as valid as one that sends you an alert email, it just performs a
different task. In this case, the existence of the file
/home/nagios/alerte is sufficient for his purposes.

I don't only care about stability in terms of if the program crashes/has 
bugs.  I also care about stability in terms of lack of code churn.  I've 
seen several betas before where functionality is added or removed 
between the beta and the final release.  In addition to this, there's 
also the possibility for subtle but important changes in the behavior of 
the program.

I do do a lot of testing before I put something like nagios into 
production.  And with nagios especially, part of that is figuring out 
the best use of the features it offers and how to setup my configs.  I 
don't know about you, but the only way I can keep myself sane with 
nagios configs is to write my own config generator.  Some of the 
configuration setup has changed between 1.2 and 2.0b2.  As such to 
switch to it I'd have to sit down and reconfigure out the best way to do 
my configs.  And there's also the possibility that the config setup 
might change again before 2.0 final, and I'd rather only have to fix my 
configs for 2.x once.

Look above, no.  What I'm saying is that I don't have time to test the 
beta AND the final release.  Other people (like yourself) do, and I'm 
glad they do.  Because it means that when 2.0 final comes out it will be 
a better product.  But just because you and several others on here have 
the time to test it and fix the bugs you find, doesn't mean everyone 
else does.  As such, you shouldn't act like 1.2 is obsolete and people 
should switch to 2.0, because for many of us, 2.0 isn't even an option 
until the actual non-beta 2.0 release happens.

Hi guys,

I have one question about notification of Nagios. When some service stay 
down, I receive one notification in my cell phone 1 minute after the 
service is down. I need to change this interval for 5 minutes, then, when 
some service stay down I'd like to receive a notification after 5 minutes.
Is this possible? What I need to do to change this?

Thanks for all!

Mario Sergio

I'm using a few shell scripts and sendncsa.pl to send passive checks
into Nagios from AIX.

My management was uncomfortable running compiled plugins and enabling
an incoming service for Nagios. It was preferable to push the data
instead.

I'd be happy to share if you're interested in the code.

Hi Andreas				



I can tell you that when you use these scripts you don't need to
 install ANYTHING on the remote hosts - providing that you are using
 Win2k or something more recent.  This is because WMI is an integral
 part of Windows these days, and these scripts query WMI for the
 same classes of information that are used to populate perfmon.



Authentication?  We don't need no stinking authentication as long
 as the proxy server (the server running nrpe-nt and hosting these
 scripts) has the same Administrator login as the remote hosts.
  If that isn't the case, you need to call the scripts using the
 -user and -pass command line options in order to authenticate on
 the remote machine.  These can be handled the same as any other
 password in nagios - using resources.cfg and the $USERn$ macros.



Also, it is possible to set up a user account on a remote machine
 which permits nagios to access WMI but does not permit an actual
 login to the remote windows server.



Andreas, I don't expect these scripts to be the be-all and end-all,
 but they do demonstrate a method for using scripts to perform agentless
 monitoring of one's Windows infrastructure.  I am hoping that they
 will serve as a starting place for further script development.
  I already have need for more of these, and the fact that they
 are scripted makes it easy to roll your own.



Now to procede?  Here is documentation on the WMI classes available:





http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk
/wmi/wmi_reference.asp



And here is a primer on WMI scripting:



http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnanch
or/html/anch_wmi.asp



And, of course... You could always contact Pham Van Hung in Vietnam
 who wrote these.  He is credited in the header, and is an affordable
 resource, and great guy.

How about using snmp.  You should be able to monitor disk,processor and
memory usage/load plus more through snmp.
In my org. we will be doing various checks on about 30 AIX machines and
are planning to do that with snmp... when we finally get around to it ;)

Just my two bits....

I can confirm this.
I run a central Nagios server and 15 distributed servers checking 2600 
services in total and Nagios 2.0 meant a real performance boost.
In particular the cgi's in the webinterface run much smoother than in 
Nagios 1.2

Subject: running admin-defined commands from vendor snmpd's vs net-snmp
Message-ID: <1111609762.9266.89.camel@seki.nac.uci.edu>


It appears that net-snmp's snmp daemon(s) support running admin-defined
external commands in a variety of programming languages.

Do vendor snmpd's do this as well?

We're particularly interested in Linux, Solaris, IRIX, AIX and Tru64.

Thanks!

Gottfried:

Heh... I'm glad you said this.  Yesterday I took StinkyBob's advice
and wrote a wrapper.  I had problems with the wrapper and to get the
wrapper to work right I had to fix some permissions.  Unfortunately, I
didn't put 2 and 2 together in that the reason the scripting didn't
work directly from the nrpe.cfg was probably the permissions.

I'm going to give it a shot from nrpe.cfg now.

Thanks to the both of you.

I do.  I think it's possible I'm not the only one.

I'm curious how the release of bacula 2.0 relates to your choice to use 
alpha software in a production environment?

I'd like to quote http://dict.die.net/beta%20software/

beta software
      n : pre-release software that has received an alpha test but
          still has more bugs than a regular release; "beta
          software is usually available only to particular users
          who will test it"

How does estimating the release of version 2.0 will be released?

Have you considered the possibility that people have different 
experiences than you?  You don't think it's possible that there are 
people who prefer not to run beta software in production environments.

What about the problem of certain mailing list contributors missing the 
boat entirely in response to a perfectly reasonable question?  Could you 
please fix/work-around that problem in a few hours or days?

 > So, just run it. If you don"t like it, I"ll buy you a coke.

I have no comment about that remark...

Subject: Latency problems
Message-ID: <003101c52ffc$74e7a790$01fea8c0@itss.auckland.ac.nz>

Hello all.

I have some problems with Latency on my system (Nagios 1.2).  Things start
off OK, but the latency builds up until after a few days it is >120sec,
which is getting a bit unworkable.  I'm not sure why it is rising like this,
so maybe someone has an idea?

I have 1555 active checks (most at 5min frequency, but some at 1 or 15 or
event 60 min frequency) and 19 passive.  There are 303 hosts.

nagios.cfg settings:

inter_check_delay_method=s
service_interleave_factor=s
max_concurrent_checks=300
service_reaper_frequency=5
sleep_time=1

System is a 4-cpu 2Gb Linux server, and is running at a normal load average
<2 and CPU average usage of 50%. No swap activity to speak of and lots of
spare memory, so it could easily cope with running more service checks.

If I do a nagios reload every day then the latency remains relatively low,
but this is not exactly ideal.  What could be causing things to get so far
out of alignment?  How come it doesn't kick off all the checks in the queue
immediately?  Should I reduce sleep_time to 0?  Maybe concurrent_checks
should be higher?

Steve

From nagios at nagios.org  Thu Mar 24 00:14:16 2005
From: nagios at nagios.org (Ethan Galstad)
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 17:14:16 -0600
Subject: Nagios 2.0 stable release date
Message-ID: <4241A3E8.1483.205BC88@localhost>

I see there have been a number of messages on the list about when 
Nagios 2.0 will be released as stable.  Here's my take.

First, I would still consider 2.0 as being beta software - that's why 
its labeled as such. While no major changes will be made to either 
the configuration files or functionality before a "stable" 2.0 is 
released, I do expect that a few major nasty bugs will be discovered 
within the current code.  If you're running the 2.0 code while its in 
beta, consider yourself a test subject.  :-)

As far as when 2.0 will be released as stable, I will not set a 
specific date.  My gut feeling is that the beta testing will probably 
be done around June or so, but that could change depending on what 
people find with the code.  Several bugs (some minor, some not so 
minor) have been (and continue to be) discovered throughout the alpha 
and beta releases.  As testing continues and more betas are released, 
I expect the number of bugs to drop.  At some point in this process 
the number of significant bugs found in a particular beta release 
will drop to near zero.  That's when you can expect a release 
candidate for a stable 2.0 to come out.

Obviously, bringing 2.0 out of beta doesn't mean that all bugs will 
have been caught and dealt with.  That's why we will have versions 
2.1, 2.2, etc.  I just want to make sure that enough people have 
participated in the beta process to be reasonably sure that the major 
gotchas have been taken care of.

Many of the users on this list feel fairly confident in the stability 
of the 2.0 beta code.  Your feelings may vary, depending upon your 
past experience and current situation.  If you're worried about 
running a non-stable version of Nagios in your environment, I would 
stick with the 1.x branch for the time being.  You shouldn't have to 
wait too long for 2.0 to be released as stable.

BTW, Nagios 1.3 should be released soon with some bug fixes that were 
made after the 1.2 release.  The 1.x branch is currently marked as 
being the 1.3 release in CVS, but its not official yet.  I expect to 
make one or two more minor patches to that branch before releasing 
1.3.

Hope that helps.

I think we get it.

In other words, Nagios is mostly stable because we all say it is. If you want to wait to use it, wait. 

I don't know why anyone cares. There's no real need to upgrade anyway unless it fixes some problem you have, which it did for me. Are we all really itchin to use service groups?

And I still have a problem I've yet to find out how to correct, that I did not have with Nagios 1.2. 

So whatever. The 1.4 plugin release was a bigger upgrade to me.

Oh, that makes much more sense :)

Nagios 2.0a was the exception (an exception that has yet to be
repeated).  I tested it a LOT over the course of a couple months and
determined any problems were things I could work around or was willing
to do without until fixed.  It was worth the added functionality.

Notably, there has been no occasion that I regret doing it, but I was
very aware of what I was getting myself into.

I am very wary of "alphaware" in general, but Nag 2.0a had a history I
was familiar with, and I knew when it was time (for me) to try a
skunkworks deployment.  At this point, I wouldn't hesitate to run Nag
2.0b anywhere (even in a "job depends on it" kind of place).

Beta, in many cases, has devolved to mean pretty little over the last
few years in my experience.

Look at the Woody release of Debian (a distro I don't use myself, but
their situation is well-known).  there's no reason that's still "beta".

Google News?  Been in beta for, what, three years?  Is there anything
I'm missing that they're hoping to do with it?

The WINE project?  They even DECLARE they'll never be done.

he can't send an email by simply creating a file.  The command itself
is valid, but by itself it is useless.  That was my point.

Rolling back to ver 1 nagios works ok. Suggestions welcome
I have looked at the bigger.cfg, nagios.cfg, and cgi.cfg & they look ok.
Also I have started from the beginning of ./configure and arrived at the
same result.

True enough. Someone might implement passive hostchecks for instance.

The logic hasn't changed. Only the format, and it isn't such a huge 
change after all. The tools at http://oss.op5.se/nagios might help with 
the conversion (make a backup first, I take no responsibility if 
anything breaks).

This is just guesswork, but considering Ethan's previous changes I'd say 
that whatever's about to change won't break whatever you have. A little 
while ago the alias and address variables of host object definitions 
were made redundant (inherited from hostname if not set). That's a good 
thing but won't affect already complete configurations.

I'm looking in to adding cascading contact_groups (services inherits 
from host if not set, hosts inherits from hostgroups if not set), and 
removing the necessity for setting pager and/or email variable for 
contacts. Both are config changes that won't affect already working 
configurations.

It is most definitely not useless. The existence or absence of a file

Apart from the embedded perl thingie. The last workaround I saw for its

Funny you should mention that, as the "stable" 1.4 release of the 
plugins (which are fairly simple to test) was riddled with bugs, while 
nagios (which is extremely difficult to test extensively) seems 
rock-stable in comparison.

1.x has a problem with checks that are scheduled "smart" when the 
default interval is widely spread that causes it to spread all checks 
over the average of the default_check_interval. It shows up exactly as 
you've described above.

You could try lowering your service_reaper_frequency to 2 or something.

concurrent checks should most likely be 0 considering the fairly beefy 
hardware you're using.

So you need to set up a windows proxy that hosts nrpe-nt and handles all

Repeated admin logins over the network. Yay...
Same admin username/password for all hosts. Yay...
Please tell me the protocol at least uses strong encryption (like 
blowfish, rijndael or dsa) so that culprits can't pick the credentials 
off the wire with zero effort.

Authentication credentials stored on a single machine, doing intense

This is good news. So what can be done with the WMI? Anything, but only 
one command at a time? Getting performance counters? A quick search for 
WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation, the name alone is horrifying in 
a wide setup) classes at msdn shows the following classes and their 
alarming descriptions (non-alarmin descriptions cut out);

* WMI registry classes - Classes that *manipulate* registry keys and values.

* WMI system classes - Predefined classes based on the Common 
Information Model (CIM) and included in every namespace in the WMI core. 
(this is alarming because CIM is decidedly broken in several places. See 
bugtraq archives for indepth analysis).

* MSFT classes - Classes that offer a means to *manipulate* and describe 
a system event. These classes are included in the operating system.

* Consumer classes - A set of WMI event consumers which *trigger an 
action* upon receipt of an arbitrary event.

I don't know much about them, but it sounds pretty much like I'd be able 
to do whatever I want (or enable myself to do whatever I want) given a 5 
minute google and the authentication credentials.

Not counting the proxy server running nrpe-nt, ofcourse.

Naturally. Sorry for my acrimonius response, but this has the distinct 
smell of the 1984 rsh/rexec/rlogin vuln. When it comes to microsoft and 
networking security, I trust them about as far as I can spit up-wind.

The About WMI sports the following disturbing text.

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a component of the Windows 
operating system that provides management information and control in an 
enterprise environment. By using industry standards, managers can use 
WMI to query and set information on desktop systems, applications, 
networks, and other enterprise components. Developers can use WMI to 
create event monitoring applications that alert users when important 
incidents occur.


Note "management information and control", "query and set [everywhere]".
It's rsh re-invented (with root-access to boot *shudder*). Those who 
know a damn have moved to ssh using pre-shared keys, strict host key 
checking and pseudo-users for doing actual work.

Considering the poorly researched but highly possible security 
implications, I'm not surprised I haven't heard the name.

You could disable host checks and base your event handler logic on service
results only (hard criticals and hard oks). I've done similar to avoid
confusion from badly timed check results triggering multiple event handler
instances etc.

Hi all,

Thanks to Robert Lanzatti and Dan Hopkins for their suggestions.

Robert Lanzatti wrote in a private mail:

It seems to me that this would work, but I would have to disable host
checks (as Dan Hopkins suggested), by setting my host check plugin to
check_dummy, otherwise the event handler will still be suppressed when
the host goes down. 

It seems rather awkward, adds a maintenance headache, and requires extra
training for the support staff, so I'm still looking for a better
solution. But I will try it and let you know if it works.

Cheers, Chris.

hi 

Andreas message hits some key dangers to accessing WMI.

With access to WMI one can literally do anything, to a system,
inclusive of rebooting the system.

A second problem with WMI is that a user would still have to create
there own performance counters for checking things like CPU load over
time.  for instance just checking the Counter for CPU % is an
instantaneous result of current load at that test instance.  The only
way to check for average load over time is to collect these test
values, store them into some structure ; then calculate the average.
this is one of the reasons to use an agent,  NC_Net polls the CPU
usage ~12 times a minute. Using WMI one can setup a counter that saves
samples and then crunches the numbers but I think it is easier to just
run an agent or accept just the instantaneous time without the agent.

NOTE: NC_Net also has access to WMI however NC_Net parses the commands
sent to it and then it will only allow a select query to be passed
directly to WMI.

Several months ago there was a plug-in called "genma" that supposedly
can also run without an agent loaded via ASP ???
However I never tried this plugin because it requires Dot Net V2 (This
is still in beta)

once again thanks Andreas for a nice summary overview of what this WMI
stuff is as well as some of its advantages/disadvantages

Thanks 
Tony

One possible solution:

1 - Create another notification command. Let me write one for you:

contacts.cfg
--------------------------
define contact{
...
host_notification_commands    host-notify-by-sms-5min
....
}

misccommands.cfg
------------------------------
define command{
command_name host-notify-by-sms-5min
command_line /script/my_notify.sh
}

/script/my_notify.sh
------------------------------
at -f /script/sms-command.txt +5min

/script/sms-command.txt
------------------------------------
echo "I am 5min late!" | mail -s "Notification" you at sms.blah.com


Do not try to find the solutions for your problems in Nagios. Use
linux/unix tools to do what you want, and Nagios will be flexible
enougth to "accept" almost everything.

Subject: Windows log issue
Message-ID: <20050324181447.CFEA81C0008D@mwumf0101.mail.fr.ww.atosorigin.com>

Hi,

I've been using Nagios for a while and so far so good.
Tank's for the job done already.

I would like to monitor many log file at the same time on Windows (to be the
less intrusive on the box) and send back an alert with for example NSCA or
something else.

Check_log for example work fine but you can not do that on very large file
or in continuous like tail.

I can't figure out how to do that. I spent many days and so far I haven't
found any solution.

Do you have any idea on how to do that?

Regards,
Marc

Subject: Error: Could not read host and service status information!
Message-ID: <92EF96B847D0D311BF7400805FA7855C0420983B@EPIEXCH1>

Error: Could not read host and service status information!

I had been running Nagios 1.2 for over a year with no problems, but the
system it was running on crashed and with only a backup of the configuration
files, I have been building a new Nagios system.  This is on SUSE 9.1.

I went through the instructions step by step and everything seemed to go
smoothly, but none of the .cgi screens will come up.  Instead I get the
"Error: Could not read host and service status information!" message.

Here's what I've checked and what I know so far.

There are no errors in the nagios or apache2 logs.
Nagios itself is working. I am getting the correct notifications in my
e-mails

Here are the ps -ef lines for the running apache2 and nagios applications:
wwwrun    9371  9368  0 09:32 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
nagios    9397     1  0 09:32 ?        00:00:00 /etc/nagios/bin/nagios -d
/etc/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

(Nagios was installed in /etc/nagios to match the directory setup of the
previous installation)

Here are the Alias lines from httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /etc/nagios/sbin
<Directory "/etc/nagios/sbin">
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   Options ExecCGI
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

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

(I have also tried variations by adding/removing the trailing / with no
effect.)

Here are the important lines from cgi.cfg:
main_config_file=/etc/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
physical_html_path=/etc/nagios/share
url_html_path=/nagios
use_authentication=1

All of the paths in nagios.cfg are correct.

/etc/passwd
wwwrun:x:30:8:WWW daemon apache:/var/lib/wwwrun:/bin/false
nagios:x:1001:100::/home/nagios:/bin/bash

/etc/group
nagios:x:101:nagios1,wwwrun,nagios,nobody
nagiocmd:!:1001:wwwrun,nagios,nobody

Here are the permissions on the appropriate directories:

------------------

So far, nothing I have tried has made any difference.  Does anything stand
out to anyone that could be causing the problem?  I have checked all the
newsgroups I could find, and google, and nothing has budged the problem in
the slightest.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Anthony

> inclusive of rebooting the system.



I understand your concerns.  However these scripts do not require
 the installation of WMI on Windows boxes.  WMI is already there.
  The scripts just query it.  They do not write to anything.



Of course if somebody was interested in writing to WMI and hosing
 a system, they wouldn't need these scripts to do that.  They could
 write their own.



I cannot answer to Microsoft's wisdom in regards to WMI.  All I
 know is that it is there - it is what feeds perfmon, which is where
 nsclient gets its data.  As far as I know it cannot be removed,
 so why not use it?



As for the Author, Andreas?  He is my adoptive son.  I have known
 him since he was 11 years old, and paid his way through the University
 myself.... hehe  So he is well known - to me at least.



I sent him some vbs snippets from the Microsoft WMI scripting tutorial
 and asked him if he could develop these monitors based on that
 approach.  He did, and I find them useful.



Hopefully others will too.

Hi Anthony				



Eeep..  I forgot to mention something.  If you look at the WMI reference
 link under performance data, you will find two types of data available.
  The first, raw data, returns actual counter values (similar to
 SNMP).  The second, formatted data, returns normalized data expressed
 in percent.  So if you are looking at the WMI method for formatted
 memory data you are getting a percentage.

WMI access can be secured
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325353/EN-US/

WMI respects existing MS authentication methods.
1. WMI obey Native OS access control
2. WMI obeys DCOM access control
3. WMI obeys access provided to user credentials.

The above KB talks about user credentials, but WMI can also be secured at 
the DCOM level and OS level.

For a decent articel on securing WMI:

aggressive_host_checking is off.  On didn't make a difference.

Notifications are set up okay since I get host down notifications and
service notifications.  Pagers are on, but they go to the same Email so I
get two for every notification.  The r is on in the host Notification
Options.

Nagios 1.2.  No dependencies or escalations are set up.  The files are not
included in nagios.cfg.

The test I'm running is to set the IP of the host to an invalid IP, let it
fail, then set it to a valid IP. 

Why would I not get host recovery notifications?

Thanks for any help,

- Harper

Subject: delete old logfiles
Message-ID: <20050326223455.067e3e3f.mailinglists@lucassen.org>

Debian Sarge nagios-txt 1.3

The log are rotated daily, but older logs are still kept in the
"archives" directory. Is there a Nagios-way to get rid of old logfiles
other than a daily cronjob starting

find /var/log/nagios/archives/ -mtime +${LOG_MAX_DAYS} -exec rm -f {} \;

to delete these older logfiles?

Richard.

No, there isn't. Be aware that all of Nagios' historical data is
maintained in those log files so you would be removing the information
used to generate many of the reports. Reports will still run but will
only include information in existing log files.

Of course, but what happens if nagios is running for a few months
checking hundreds of sites? Nagios will sooner or later fill up your
'/var' partition. That's not a very good idea IMHO ;-)

Dear all,
I am using Nagios? Version 2.0b version.
My service configuration is:
        define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       flowc.XXX.net

        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command                   check_ping
        }
define service{
        name                            generic-service
        active_checks_enabled           1

        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        register                        0
                }
define command{
        command_name    check_ping
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 450.0,40% -c 1750.0,98%
        }

But the problem that it shows the service as down only after about ten minutes and also to show the service as up also it shows it after sya ten minutes again.

Is it anything related to the above command::basically i wuld like to know that when we say xx% loss or xxms latency then after how many tries this %age is calculated how the command is actually working.

Can anybody suggest on what may be the issue here...

Thanks.
Vivek.

Seriously? It's not as if you are completely helpless here... Create or
use a partition that is more suited to whatever retention schedule you
are wanting. That should be an obvious solution.

[nagios at betelgeuse var]$ pwd; du -sh archives/
/usr/local/nagios/var
1.7G    archives

The above directory contains archives beginning in June of 2002 for
about 2800 services on 1800 devices. It's overkill as the standard
reports will go back no further than 2 years but I need to keep about 5
years worth. I still have > 10 Gigs of space for archive storage and
another 17 or so years to go before I have to worry about space.

Ok, there are a lot of ways to avoid this problem, but maybe it's
something for the wishlist to have a variable that limits the size of
the archive. Something like

max_archive_size=500MB
max_archive_time=180days

But never mind, you're right that it's not a very big problem ;-)

Message-ID: <000801c532f3$fee1f4b0$93d0fea9@TheAdmin>

Hello,

I am running Red Hat 9 and installed nagios but when I try to execute a cgi script I get a 500 error message. In the error log apache file I found the following.

[Sun Mar 27 12:13:45 2005] [error] [client 192.168.22.1] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/nagios/sbin/tac.cgi

My apache version:

Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix)

Kind regards,
Vladislav Georgiev

Message-ID: <E1DFd6Q-0002Ch-Kt@sc8-sf-mx1.sourceforge.net>

Hey guys, I'm running 2.0 beta 2... Unfortunately, my host went down for
like 13 minutes very early this morning, first time I've ever noticed
downtime more than 1 minute in 4 years.

 

Basically, it reported down state for 13 minutes.  I would like to somehow
remove that data, is there a way to nullify soft/hard states for a certain
amount of time? For all or one by one? I'm monitoring multiple network SLA's
and this totally killed the statistics for this month, thanks!

Manually remove the downtime from nagios.log or the archive file. Be
sure to stop Nagios while editing nagios.log.

Subject: Email service and host notification question.
Message-ID: <424796DE.4070306@philonline.com>

Hi,
    This is my first time to send a question to this mailing list. I 
hope you can help me with my problem.
    I'm setting up a nagios network monitoring to monitor my servers. I  
now have installed it on my test unit and set things up to monitor my 
services running on my servers. I want nagios to notify me whenever 
there is something wrong with my servers, now this is my question:

    1. Do I need to run a mail server on the machine where I installed 
nagios to check the notifications?
    2. How will I set up nagios to send the notifications using my 
existing email address?

Thanks in advance,

most of the linux distro come with atleast one MTA "sendmail", nagios 
will use the local MTA for sending notifications.
So you don't have to do much for configuring sendmail, just installing 
sendmail and running the daemon would be enough for nagios to send 
notification via email.

Subject: NSClient++ 0.0.2 (alpha 1) [intial NRPE support]
Message-ID: <4247E114.5010500@medin.name>

Greetings,

A new version of NSClient++ has been released.
The most interesting new feature is probably "initial NRPE support". 
There have also been a few internal restructuring that is rather 
interesting for "me".
I have also decided to drop the experimental "check_nscp" UNIX plug in 
as you might as well use check_nrpe since we now have support for that.

For NRPE fans I have to disappoint a bit as there is no encryption 
support yet (so you either have to compile without it or use the -n 
option). But expect NRPE encryption support in the future. The NRPE 
configuration is fairly "similar" to nrpe.cfg but NSC.ini has sections 
which nrpe.cfg lacks. As for plug ins I haven't actually tested any NRPE 
plug ins (only batch files I quickly wrote) but the concept is the same 
so I assume they will all work as expected. In addition to executing 
external scripts you can also execute internal commands (using the 
inject command) to be able to use for instance NSClient commands from 
check_nrpe. There are a few examples on how to do this in NSC.ini.

Again feel free to come with suggestions, bug reports and what not as I 
don't really use this much myself as we have a pretty limited Nagios 
monitoring so CPU/Disk is generally enough for us.

You can as usual find NSClient++ at http://www.sf.net/projects/nscplus

Subject: UNREACHABLE problem
Message-ID: <200503281408.j2SE8TIb032725@mail.asc.edu>

I have a problem with parent-child relationships in nagios 1.2 on centos-3.
Setup: a parent host goes down and it is correctly marked as DOWN. Its
children are correctly marked as UNREACHABLE. The parent comes back UP.
During this UNREACHABLE time one of the children has somehow actually went
DOWN. Why does it still show UNREACHABLE when its parent comes back up and
it is actually now DOWN? If necessary, I can provide the hosts.cfg and
services.cfg sections for said parent and children.

Subject: Event ID - reference older threads
Message-ID: <1112022108.23764.45.camel@talon>

Hi,

This message refers to a particular older thread, as well as several
others.  I'm basically seeking the answer as to whether and how you can
integrate Nagios with a ticketing system such that once a service event
goes into a non-OK state...all subsequent events and notifications for
that service are grouped into the same ticket until the service returns
to an OK state.  Seems the best way to do this is to incorporate some
sort of persistent and unique event id.

In this link:
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8873121

James Kingston says he is doing that.
"We use hostname-(servicename|hostalert)-timet (although we re-use the
 same id until the host/service recovery)"

The one part that I don't understand is the "timet".  I assume he's
using the TIMET macro...but if I am sending out multiple notifications
(as in an escalation tree) wouldn't the TIMET of each notification be
different?  How is he re-using this id on subsequent notifications? 

I'm new to this mailing list and in searching the archives, I've seen
similar questions posed over the past couple of years but have never
seen a definitive answer.  Perhaps I've missed it though?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

-Scott

The id is externally generated (most likely by the ticket-handling 
system). The ticket management system communicates the id back to the 
monitoring host somehow and a receiving program enters a record of it 
that the notification script reads on further notifications. When the 
script is asked to send a recovery notice it deletes the id entry for 
the particular service or host.

It's fairly simple really, but requires additional code since Nagios 
doesn't keep track of events.

Ok, well, that makes sense. Seems simple enough to do that. I was just
curious if there was something I wasn't understanding about the TIMET
macro and if there was a way to re-use it.  Would be nice if there was a
macro event number, would be a cleaner solution, but this solution will
work fine.

Thanks for the reply!

Friends,



I have updated the scripts on the Windows wmi agentless plugin site:



http://www.nagiosexchange.org/NRPE_Plugins.66.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_
view]=235



They now all return performance data (except for the check_process.vbs
 monitor).



There are 5 scripts posted now.  They monitor cpu, memory, disk,
 disks (for multiple disks) and process(s).



You will need to load nrpe-nt on a windows box then install these
 scripts on that box.  When you call the scripts they will use the
 Microsoft network (with authentication) to retrieve monitoring
 data from remote Windows boxes without the need to install any
 agents on the remote boxes.



So you need an agent (nrpe-nt) on one box which then acts as a proxy
 server and retrieves data from remote windows hosts without having
 to install anything at all on them.



Details on how to use these scripts are posted on the site.  All
 of them respond to the standard --help directive.



If you have any questions, contact me at gmeisenheimer at itgroundwork

Subject: No image in my Histogram, Trends, Statusmap pages
Message-ID: <4248C3FF.9050104@philonline.com>

Hi again everybody,
    Well this is my second question about nagios. I have installed these 
required packages libpng, libjpeg, gdlib and all are the latest release 
version. My nagios is now working fine when it comes to monitoring the 
status of my servers, but when I about to view the Histogram, Trends, 
Statusmap pages there is no image created. I only see the X mark on the 
image box, meaning that there is nothing to display. What should I do to 
fix this problem?

BTW, my 3D statusmap is working fine.

Thanks in advance,

Just to update you all as promised:

I found a better solution (for my needs). I wrote a combined OCSP
handler and host event handler in a shell script, that does the
following:

* If the host is reported down (host event handler), remove it from
pool.

* If an HTTP check fails, count the number of HTTP checks currently in
the DOWN state, using the check_cluster plugin.

* If only one is down, schedule immediate checks of all the others,
using external commands

* If two or more are down, remove host from pool.

* If any filter service is reported OK, and host is not in pool, add it
back to pool.

This should ensure a quick response to any failed HTTP check, without
flapping hosts in and out of the pool (since two different checks must
fail for a host to be removed).

Cheers, Chris.

Subject: lot's of unknowns
Message-ID: <1225322575.20050329141247@interdata.lt>


Hi,

I have this strange problem and I'm looking for an answer hopefully in
the right place. I'm new to nagios and I'm sure I'm just missing
something:

Most of checks are done via snmp. And if snmp daemon on the server
crashes, I get lot's of emails and smss saying that the service
states are unknown (and I think - damn, it'd be better if the host was
unreachable). Is there any way to make nagios believe that if it gets
more than two unknown states in one check period for the same host,
probably it's just a simple disaster and it could only send a simple
notice - "man, your server is almost dead - only two out of the 20
services you are checking are still in a KNOWN state!"?

Thank you in advance!

Respectfully,
Aurimas

Subject: Distributed Monitoring
Message-ID: <1112095108.22192.46.camel@localhost>

Hi all,

I'm trying to implement distributed monitoring with Nagios, to reduce
the load on our servers as the redundant load balancers each evaluate
the state of each server. However, I have run into a problem which I
could again use your help with.

We have two distributed servers which control the redundant load
balancers, and should forward the results of active checks to each
other. When both servers are up, they will randomly distribute active
checks between themselves, running an active check whenever the current
status becomes stale. If one server goes down, the other should
automatically take over monitoring of all services, as all the results
become stale.

The problem is that when a passive service check result is received by a
distributed server, it is treated exactly the same as an active result,
in that the OCSP handler is called. This means that the two distributed
servers end up sending each other the same events in a loop, until the
NCSA packet timeout expires.

There doesn't appear to be any way for the OCSP handler to know whether
the result was received from an active or a passive check (and thus to
ignore passive checks, preventing loops). Does anyone know if it's
possible? I can't see any macro for this purpose documented at
[http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/macros.html].

Cheers, Chris.

Ok, so no client needs to be installed and it can (according to MS 
themselves) be done securely, but the configuration process to set it up 
still requires hands-on configuration of the machine in question which 
will most likely be more confusing than installing a package on each of 
the monitored hosts and with a far greater impact if it's done wrong.

I'm not impressed.

If I read this correctly, only the most paranoid settings enable 
encryption on the packets sent. Switched networks (catenets) aren't 
immune to sniffing as some like to believe, but the paranoia setting 
seems to have a very large impact on the CPU since each packet is 
checked for credentials. One wonders, do they mean packet as in 
"tcp/ip-packet" or packet as in "some obscure MS identification of packet"?

This isn't a rant (well, it isn't intended as one anyway). I just want 
to make security conscious users aware of the risks implicit in using 
this technique.

That must be the documentation. An awful lot of traffic on this list is

If not, is there a plugin that could parse specific reports from the

Availability reports does roughly this. If you want other details I'm 
sure you could use the CSV output and feed it to openoffice or some 
other numbercrunching piece of software.

i believe you can accomplish this by setting up service dependecies. 
just setup your snmp check to depend on check_procs or something of the 
likeing.....or if you want to be really simple, check_tcp (snmp port).

SLA?  Do you mean Service level agreement? I would guess that a report like that would depend on the agreement. If it is just uptime you could use the availibility reports. Generally the SLA consists of more than just monitoring I use Bugzilla to track Client issues and most of my SLA reports come off that.

Hi everyone,

 

  Has anyone ever heard of an SLA-compliant report for Nagios?  I have to deliver this to customers and am looking for specific stats reports.  If not, is there a plugin that could parse specific reports from the Nagios output?  Thanks for your help!

 

Stephen

I use perfparse for that. perfparse saves Nagios performance data into
a MySQL database. It has a web based interface which displays the
data as graphs.
You can create HTML pages and integrate these graphs as needed or use
office products to create custom reports and use MySQL as a data source.

Has anyone experience with open source report generators like BZbyte
Reports? Are there products you can recommend?

I don't believe there is a way to do this right now, but it
should be pretty easy to add a $LASTCHECKTYPE$ macro that would
allow the OCSP to differentiate between the two.

Thanks.

Sorry if I posted this message in the wrong place...

I realize there's a separate download for the plugins, but I thought this
was a general purpose list for Nagios users.

Also, I know how to use ls so I don't need the manpage.  However the names
check_* don't necessarily tell me what I need to know as I was looking for
information such as it monitors Weblogic, Oracle, MySQL, JBoss, etc.

I thought maybe someone had compiled a list.

Subject: NFS mounts and check_disk
Message-ID: <2B5C62C548D2FC48BC0334E8AE49418505DEFBA9@parrot.demandtec.com>


Is there a way to exclude multiple filesystems in check_disk?  We have a number of nfs mounted filesytems that we do   not wish to include in our check_disk test (they are always at a high usage level, and we check them elsewhere).  I tried using -x, but that seems to work for only one filesystem, not many.  Anyone else out there have any ideas?  Thanks.

Subject: Trying to understand check_by_ssh
Message-ID: <42498B4E.9080708@ece.utk.edu>

Guys,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to do some monitoring on some 
remote hosts. I really haven't gotten my head around all this stuff yet. 
I need to monitor stuff like disk, memory, processes, cpu load, etc. I 
see plugins that do all this great stuff for me. I have a user that has 
access to all of these machines along with his NFS mounted home area. 
Should I try to use check_by_ssh as that user and have a copy of the 
plugin scripts in the user's home area?

My boss wants me to avoid things like nrpe because it's another daemon 
we would have to install and script up for our deployment. It would be 
easiest for us if we could do the above.

If anyone can kick me in the right direction or send me some links I

Greetings

If our external DNS server is set to "recursion no;" it fails on the DNS check
set to "recursion yes" then the dne_check works fine. Is there an easy
work around ?

Thanks

Hi Andreas				



You said:



Ok, so no client needs to be installed and it can (according to
 MS

themselves) be done securely, but the configuration process to set
 it up

still requires hands-on configuration of the machine in question
 which

will most likely be more confusing than installing a package on
 each of

the monitored hosts and with a far greater impact if it's done wrong.



Perhaps you don't understand.  No agents need to be set up on the
 remote machines and the only configuration required is that a user
 needs to be set up so that nagios can access the machine.  You
 have to do the same thing with many of the other Nagios monitoring
 tools.  Also, the user can be a domain user, so you really don't
 even need to touch the monitored machines at all.



And hopefully, if you have Windows systems in your infrasturcture
 you shouldn't find it too confusing to set up a user.



Now your earlier point of scalability bears investigation.  I have
 not rolled out thousands of these monitors yet, so I obviously
 need to do some benchmarking to see just how scalable this approach
 is.  To do it correctly, I need to use an enterprise level server
 as the proxy host.  (if one intends to do large numbers of these
 things this would make sense).



One could, of course, use more than one proxy server.  That would
 be scalable.  Nothing says that you can't have more than one of
 these things out there.  Perhaps you could select one machine in
 each domain and install nrpe-nt and these scripts on it.



Now, where to find an enterprise server that I can appropriate for
 this testing... hehe  Might be time for a midnight foray through
 the lab!

Subject: CGI accesss issue
Message-ID: <CE3352A62FE7AC4AB71F57F98CDFF62D14AF52@rca-exchange.itlogon.com>

Hi,

I have a Nagios 2.0B2 installed on RHEL 4.0 machine. I have CGI
authentication enabled and configured, I believe. However, I'm having
trouble access any CGI page. The follow error message was logged in the
"ssl_error_log". 

[Tue Mar 29 09:47:47 2005] [crit] [client 10.17.2.69] configuration
error:  couldn't check access.  No groups file?:
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi, referer: https://rcarhld02/nagios/side.html

I'm using MySql to store the user authentication. I verified that that
piece is working, including group authorization. What confused me was
what groups file the error message refers to? Is it the same group file
used for web authentication? If so, how to configure the Nagios to talk
to it, in my case the MySql? I looked the example in the document, it
seems to me the authentication and authorization are handled by httpd
server, is it correct?  

Thanks in advance for the helps.

 

My related configuration files looks like the following:

------ Web Authentication ------------------

<Directory "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi">

        AuthName "Nagios Access"

        AuthType Basic

Hello all.

This is my first post and I need your help. I realize of course this is a
nagios group, and since I want to go with nagios I wanted your slant on
things.

I need to install some monitoring software.  It is all Solaris and
apporximately 400 hosts.

Simple things first first.  Host Status, then maybe moving to  cpu, disk
space things of that nature.

I have read the docs and understand some time needs to be invested before I
am up and running and I have significant experience with monitoring using
Tivoli, PERL and SiteScope mostly

My question is, what will nagios do for me and what will it not.  I have to
prepare a talking paper comparing...

Nagios
Big Brother (sister too??)
SiteScope
Custom PERL  (Don't want to reinvent the wheel)
Any others???

Thanks for your help...

Subject: Trying to understand check_by_ssh
Message-ID: <s2496489.080@EHC-GATE2.eushc.org>

If you have a common user, you can use push_check to copy the scripts to
the machines, if needed, then run them and report the output back to
Nagios.  You will need to set up shared key authentication so password
is not required.  So you will have to login at least once to each
machine and copy the RSA pub key from Nagios machine to each *nix box in
the users home dir (~/.ssh/authorized_keys2).  
 
Check out the docs on it.
It works well and you can find it @

Guys,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to do some monitoring on some 
remote hosts. I really haven't gotten my head around all this stuff
yet. 
I need to monitor stuff like disk, memory, processes, cpu load, etc. I

see plugins that do all this great stuff for me. I have a user that has

access to all of these machines along with his NFS mounted home area. 
Should I try to use check_by_ssh as that user and have a copy of the 
plugin scripts in the user's home area?

My boss wants me to avoid things like nrpe because it's another daemon

we would have to install and script up for our deployment. It would be

easiest for us if we could do the above.

If anyone can kick me in the right direction or send me some links I 
would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

I can't seem to get the external command setup correctly.  I followed the FAQ
and verified it several times.

I compiled Nagios with:

./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
--with-command-group=nagioscmd

All users are created and nagios, wwwrun and nobody are members of both nagios
and nagioscmd groups

I followed the FAQ for setting up the var/rw directory.  I have restarted apache
and verified it is running as wwwrun however I still get the error about not
being able to access the external command file.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Hi Ed.

I had a similar problem.

The problem I was having had to do with the "df" output.

For example, a normal "df -k" would look something like this:

Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/rootvol  4133838 2533134 1559366    62%    /
/proc                      0       0       0     0%    /proc
fd                         0       0       0     0%    /dev/fd
mnttab                     0       0       0     0%    /etc/mnttab
/dev/vx/dsk/var      4133838  103354 3989146     3%    /var
swap                 21524984      32 21524952     1%    /var/run
swap                 2097152   49800 2047352     3%    /tmp
/dev/vx/dsk/home     54020703 34159356 19321140    64%    /export/home


The issue I had was when a portion of the "df -k" output was different than what the check_disk program was expecting. Shown below, the /u01 and /software filesystems were returning "no output".

Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/rootvol  4129290 1904935 2183063    47%    /
/proc                      0       0       0     0%    /proc
fd                         0       0       0     0%    /dev/fd
mnttab                     0       0       0     0%    /etc/mnttab
/dev/vx/dsk/var       492872  235991  207594    54%    /var
swap                 8853128      32 8853096     1%    /var/run
swap                 8853216     120 8853096     1%    /tmp
/dev/vx/dsk/opt      1016122  436412  518743    46%    /opt
/dev/vx/dsk/appdg/u01
                     15482880 5417160 9908496    36%    /u01
/dev/vx/dsk/home     25190412 23216228 1722280    94%    /export/home
avesun1:/export/home 11856107 7348299 4389247    63%    /software


I eventually had to use the "GNU di" program as my "df" program. This allowed me modify the "df -k" output and check_disk accepted it.

I hope this helps.

In nagios.cfg check_external_commands=1

It will create a nagios.cmd file in rw directory.

If it still doesnt work, check apache/error.log file. If its a
permission problem, give 777 permission to nagios.cmd. If it works
then you have problems with groups. If it does not work check if all
directories in the nagios.cmd path has execute permission.

Usually this means you have a 'die' or something htat executes because
of a permissions problem or something that your script is not expecting
to occur when run by the nagios user.

Try running it as the nagios user and you may get better feedback. I
have also implemented debug-switched output in check-commands to find
out what was wrong.

Hello,

Since I can't find a way to use check_disk to ignore nfs mounted file
systems, I have written my own perl script to do so, and it is quite
useful.  However, when I try to use it with nagios, nagios always comes
back with (no  output!).  It works fine on the command line as the
nagios user.  Any ideas what could be causing this and what I could do
to fix it?  I have the path fully qualfied.  Any help is appreciated.

I have it setup to return 0, 1, and 2 for OK, Warn, and critical resp. and I have verified that it works.  However, I stil get no output. 

-={nagios at thumper}=- pts -={14:41/29-Mar-05}=-

The above output is from the nagios user running the script.  I have my exit status set to return the same number printed at the end.

Aren't you required to return the correct number that equates to the
correct output.

I.E Critical = Return 3, or whatever.

It's in the plugin guidelines, I don't have time to really look at this
right now, but off the top I'd assume you'd need that as all my plugins
have.

> hosts.

There is no "best" way for everyone.  Just various ways that have tradeoffs
and you have to decide which is the least-worst choice given your
circumstances. 

My take on the various options: 

1) NRPE 

This is OK if each machine you're monitoring is directly accessible and
running the the NRPE daemon, but the config syntax is greatly different
from that of nagios itself so it's a bit of a pain to configure and keep
things in synch when you add services.  If you have a choice between
configuring NRPE checks and banging your head against a brick wall, find
yourself a brick wall - the headaches go away a lot quicker after you stop
doing it. 

If you have machines behind a firewall that are not accessible directly
then you can do all the monitoring by NRPE from a directly-reachable
machine (such as the firewall itself) by having it invoke check_by_ssh
or some other method.  But then the configuration headaches multiply
exponentially - unless you allow NRPE to accept arguments (by default
it doesn't), which simplifies configuration but is a BIG security risk
(unless you use the SSL option and even then it's not very safe).  I have
tried monitoring hosts that were not directly-reachable this way and I'd
rather flay my skin off with a cheese grater then roll in some salt than
do that again. 

NRPE does NOT do any authentication.  The only protection you have is
NRPE's allowed_hosts config option (rudimentary checks) and tcpwrappers.
But tcpwrappers can be spoofed, although only somebody sniffing your
network traffic would get answers.  In your situation you may not care
that some packet-sniffing techy can tell if one of your services is down
if he spoofs his IP address.  OK, if you use the SSL option the packet-
sniffing techy can't tell what requests he needs to send to NRPE, but
trial-and-error can probably expose a lot of your services if you use
comprehensible naming conventions.  If you check the disk space on
not-directly-visible machine X with check_w12rJksdh he probably won't
get anywhere, but if you use check_filestore_disk he probably will (after
a lot of failed attempts that you''ll catch with an IDS if you run one). 

If your monitoring host and monitored hosts are all on the same internal
network then the packet-sniffing stuff isn't a problem (provided you
trust everyone on that network segment).  If you're monitoring external
sites then it is a problem. 

2) Check_by_ssh 

This works if you're checking machines directly.  The overheads of
establishing an SSH connection on a congested network may cause you
problems with plugin timeouts unless you over-ride the defaults. 

If you have to check machines indirectly then you need a script that has
been posted here before called something like deep_check_by_ssh.  This
is going to increase the time delays and may result in plugin timeouts
unless you over-ride them.  It's also very inelegant (but inelegant
sometimes pays the bills). 

Andreas will be along shortly to point out a security hole in check_by_ssh
IF somebody can compromise your monitoring host to the extent that they
can become the nagios user.  That hole allows somebody who can become
nagios on your monitoring host to become nagios on your monitored hosts
and execute arbitrary commands as the nagios user.  That may expose
sensitive data if you're lax about permissions.  That may allow local root
exploits on your monitored hosts.  However, if your monitoring host runs a
subset of the services your monitored hosts do then any compromise of the
monitoring host can be applied directly to the monitored hosts, so it's
not a real problem.  If your monitoring host runs services that your
monitored hosts do not then it IS a worry because your monitoring host
could be compromised via one of the services your monitored hosts don't
run - any service you run on your monitoring host that isn't run on your
monitored hosts is likely to be little-used and therefore not examined
much for security holes. 

3) NSCA 

This runs on your monitoring host.  However, at least one of the directly-
visible monitored hosts must have nagios (bare bones, you don't need the
web interface) installed on it.  The directly-visible monitored host
checks itself and hosts behind firewalls that are not directly visible
(using check_by_ssh or NRPE or NSCA) and submits passive check results to
the monitoring host. 

NSCA uses one of a user-configurable choice of encryption algorithms for
the data in a way which also authenticates the user.  As long as you choose
a good encryption algorithm no packet spoofer/sniffer (apart from the US
National Security Agency, the UK's GCHQ and the like) will learn that one
of your services is down or submit a bogus passive check result. 

Configuration on the host submitting passive check results is very
similar to that on the monitoring host.  In simple situations you could
write a script to take the config from the host submitting passive check
results and turn it into a config for the monitoring host, but you'll
probably have to generate it by hand (but it's still a lot easier than
translating from nagios config to NRPE config). 

With nagios 1.x you cannot submit passive host checks, which means that
if you're monitoring machines which are not directly visible you can't
tell if they're down or not.  With nagios 2.x you can submit passive host
checks.  Actually, the documentation is contradictory about 1.x passive
host checks - in one place Ethan says it's not possible, in another he says
it's possible but complex so he won't bother explaining how it can be done. 

NSCA has only one password, which is a problem if you want to monitor
customer sites and ensure that none of your customers can interfere with
any of the others.  If you're in that situation you have to run separate
instances of the NSCA daemon with different config files on different ports
so each customer has a different password.  A hassle, but not a major one. 

Where NSCA scores is if you have a large network.  Having satellite
monitoring servers submit passive host checks takes a lot of load off
your monitoring server. 

Like I said, there are trade-offs.  I doubt I've listed all of them.  I
doubt I've listed all the ones that I've seen mentioned here, just the ones
I can remember right now.  And I've probably made some mistakes (coming up
on midnight here)  Unless your boss is paranoid about security then
it sounds like check_by_ssh is what you need, unless you're going to be
monitoring a large network or need redundant monitoring.  In the end the
only way you'll know for sure is to try all of them yourself and form your
own opinion rather than blindly accept the opinions of others.

I found the problem, sort of. I have to use group based authentication
instead of user based one. I modified the authentication configuration
file to the following and it's working now. However, I don't understand
the reason behind it. I read the documentation on the authentication
again and still couldn't find out why the group authentication is
required. 

 

<Directory "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi">

        AuthName "Nagios Access"

        AuthType Basic

 

        AuthMySQLUser authuser

Hi,

I have a Nagios 2.0B2 installed on RHEL 4.0 machine. I have CGI
authentication enabled and configured, I believe. However, I'm having
trouble access any CGI page. The follow error message was logged in the
"ssl_error_log". 

[Tue Mar 29 09:47:47 2005] [crit] [client 10.17.2.69] configuration
error:  couldn't check access.  No groups file?:
/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi, referer: https://rcarhld02/nagios/side.html

I'm using MySql to store the user authentication. I verified that that
piece is working, including group authorization. What confused me was
what groups file the error message refers to? Is it the same group file
used for web authentication? If so, how to configure the Nagios to talk
to it, in my case the MySql? I looked the example in the document, it
seems to me the authentication and authorization are handled by httpd
server, is it correct?  

Thanks in advance for the helps.

 

My related configuration files looks like the following:

Except that MS by default ships DCOM access with very loose 
access-restrictions which means it needs to be tweaked on each machine 
if this is to be done in a secure manner.

Even so, minimal access is usually all it takes to increase possibility 
of successfully exploiting a vulnerabilities about 40 times.

Common sense says it will work poorly. If the proxy could have a script 
server that would greatly reduce the load, as code doesn't need to be 
initialized every time. That would call for a complete re-design of 
nrpe-nt though, so it's probably better to start from scratch.

Yes, but is it really interesting to waste computer power on proxies? 
One must also consider the fact that the proxy will become a single 
point of failure (SOP running windows ... *shudder*). If the proxy goes 
down you'll loose monitoring on all the windows nodes and considering 
you have decided to invest in a proxy to monitor them, you probably have 
quite a few.

One could ofcourse set up a redundant mesh of proxies and nagios servers 
but then we're eating up the time saved pretty fast.

Basically anything you ask of it. Since it's driven by external programs 
to read status of various devices in the network you can easily hack up 
programs that do what you want them to do. With a bit of googling and 
polite asking on nagiosplug-help you can usually find someone else has 
already written it for you.

Big Brother (and sister) works the same way. Plugins for both can 
usually be used with nagios with little or no modification.

One of nagios' newest and most promising features is the ability to load 
external modules. Once the rough edges of the module api has been 
polished a bit so documentation can kick in, module-hacking will most 
likely take off like a Saturn V on steroids. At least one project has 
already managed to produce useful results with the existing api 
(nagiosdb on sourceforge). If you have able hands on deck, there's 
really no limit to what the design lets you do.

On the remote hosts, I use a security wrapper that restricts the ssh'ed
commands.
In the event that Mother Nagios gets compromised, the ssh-based checks pose
no risk to the remote nodes.

First, we modify the authorized_keys on the remote end and add the
"command=..." to force a specific command to be executed whenever this key
is used to login.  In this case we execute our security wrapper script.

  --- restricted ssh key on remote host ---- 
    command="/home/nagios/ssh-wrapper" ssh-dss +yIDIwfYYyzx
    KKJKjxUGbVjqhYJuBLJDOY106IvRy82o3APtXWa3S7dOKQ9tozTSBlaZ
    S4y6uiw5CRYiuvYm7EWnOCoP8z/GfcepTokzWTnewlLXvbpgvX2RPZ10
    57ScZGCzt63gmbR3J9D4cjJLdQkDsW7thp
  ------------------------------------------


Then, we create the wrapper script which checks our incoming command and
tosses out everything else.
The pattern matched "^check_" can be made more or less restrictive to suit
your level of paranoia.

  --------- wrapper on remote host --------- 
    #!/bin/sh
    # ssh-wrapper.sh
    
    PREFIX=/usr/local/nagiosplugins/libexec/
    
    if echo $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND|egrep "^check_" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
      $PREFIX/$SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND 2> /dev/null
    else
      echo "Permission denied."
      exit 1
    fi

What hostname/s are you using in your check?  You should use a
name that the server is willing to return an answer for when it
is configured not to do recursion, i.e. in a zone your DNS
server actually hosts.

If the name you're checking is hosted by that server and therefore
should be answered regardless of the recursion setting, then it
sounds like there's something wrong with the DNS server's setup...

Subject: unable to view service detail
Message-ID: <4249FCB4.7030309@analog.com>

Hello,

I am having a rather peculiar problem with nagios. When I start nagios 
and try to view the Service Detail it says that I do not have permission 
to view information about any of the services. However, after I click on 
the refresh button several times the page comes up correctly. This 
problem persists every time I try to come back and view the services.

Also, when I view the Host Detail page I get information from an old 
configuration I had when I was first experimenting with nagios (about a 
month ago). This configuration file no longer exists, however.

I noticed that whenever I start Nagios, at least two Nagios daemons are 
spawned. I don't know if this is supposed to happen or not, but the web 
interface behaves as if there could be interference from multiple 
instances of Nagios.

If anyone has experienced a problem similar to this, or has any idea 
about what could be wrong, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Kevin Kerns

Hi guys, Ive looked but cant seem to find anything on limiting the total
number of nofifications that can go out on a particular service or host
failure. We are switching over from ipsentry and it has this limit so if by
chance a service fails in the middle of the night we wont ge wacked with a
huge sms bill by limiting the amount of sms we send.

You've misunderstood how the plugins work.

The return value (0, 1, 2) is not meant to be printed to stdout,
but instead returned as the 'exit code' of the program or script.
In PERL, you can use 'exit 1;' to return such a code.  For testing,
you can use (under a bourne-type shell) use "echo $?" to check the
return value of the previous command:

$ perl -e 'exit 5;'
$ echo $?
5

Also, Nagios will only use the first line of a plugin's output,
so you'll need to work out how to refactor the status into a
single line of output.

The check_command in the services.cfg file is:
check_command check_dns!www.host.com
is that correct ? 
>From the command line
 ./check_dns -H www.host.com -s server.com 
works fine. 
I'm missing something?

That depends whether you've substituted the real names for
"www.host.com" and "server.com", or if you are actually running
that exact command line.

If you are running that command verbatim, i.e.

$ check_dns -H www.host.com -s server.com

then what the plugin is doing is finding the address of server.com,
and sending it a DNS query for the address of a host which is named
www.host.com.

Exactly why this is succeeding for you, I'm not sure, as server.com
doesn't seem to be answering DNS queries from me.

The command in your Nagios configuration files should be checking
one of the domains your DNS server hosts. So, if you're hosting
the domain qwerty.com and you generally expect that www.querty.com
ought to point people to your web server, you'd use a check command
like this:

check_command check_dns!www.qwerty.com

This tells Nagios that for this service, the command to run is
called "check_dns" and the first parameter is www.qwerty.com.
The check_dns command would then get expanded by Nagios to something
like:

check_dns -H www.querty.com -s 1.2.3.4

where 1.2.3.4 is the address of the host that the service check is
being run for. This sends the DNS query to your server, which should
then reply with the address of your website.

If you're using check_dns!www.host.com, then you're a sending a DNS
query for "www.host.com" to the server that you're monitoring, and
unless it's set to process queries recursively, it's not going to
be able to find an address for you.

Hope this makes sense.

 Hi,

 After that, I make sure that enable_event_handlers

 I tried manually running the script by passing

 The Nagios daemon will be modified to create a

We exclude several filesystems in check_disk. For that, we use the -X 
option.

For example, in nrpe.cfg the definition of check_disk looks at this:
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -e -w $ARG1$ -c 
$ARG2$ -X $ARG3$ -X $ARG4$ -X $ARG5$ -X $ARG6$ -X $ARG7$ -X $ARG8$

Then, in command line, we run this command:
 ./check_nrpe -H xxxxxx -c check_disk -a 10% 5% nfs lofs iso9660 udf 
hsfs autofs
DISK OK - free space:| /=6252MB;8859;9351;0;9844 
/home=49062MB;49343;52084;0;54826 /dev/shm=1008MB;907;957;0;1008

We have a number of nfs mounted filesytems that we do   not wish to include in our check_disk test (they are always at a high usage level, and we check them elsewhere).  I tried using -x, but that seems to work for only one filesystem, not many.  Anyone else out there have any ideas?  Thanks.

The multiple-instance problem is a dear old favourite on this list.

killall -9 nagios (NOT on solaris!)
(wait 5-10 secs)
start nagios the normal way.

Set notification_interval to 0 for one notification per event.
Do some magic with escalations to get more but not zero.

In fact, I think I'll hack up a max_notifications variable for hosts and 
services. It seems overkill to use escalations for just limiting them to 
a specific number.

Actually this can be done with a module for NSClient++ quite easily. My 
initial plan (before I started playing with NRPE) was to write a MS 
scripting host module to allow script to be 1, preloaded and more 
importantly 2, running in the "background" ie. collect data and such). 
But as NRPE will probably take a while to whip up that will probably not 
be for a few months or so...

Is there any support for that in Nagios ?
Thoretically you could set it up I soppose using parents and such but a 
"redundant" check would solve this pretty simple.
ie. "check_using_one_of -H1 -H2 -H3 -c check_nrpe .... " Having it check 
untill it finds a host that responds.
And a check_using_all_of might similarily be of use, but what do I know :)

That was the sort of re-design I had in mind. :)

This is sort of "dangerous". Users will most likely think "why the hell 
isn't my data fresh when I've told nagios to check it once ever 
umpteenth second". Hooking up a module to add a new check though (saving 
the load time) would indeed be extremely useful.

The proxy redundancy would be better off handled through some other 
means (linux HA, but on windows, sort of) with support for IP takeover.

Yes, but this would present a difficulty in configuration as well as 
increase the load and check-times fairly dramatically on the nagios 
server. Down hosts don't respond at all so there would usually be a 
series of socket timeouts until one actually does respond. This also 
scales poorly.

Well, the older version of the plugin (Whatever was before 1.4), you could only exclude a single path. It was not repeatable.

It looks like with the 1.4 version of the plugin you can 

-x, --exclude_device=PATH <STRING>
   Ignore device (only works if -p unspecified)
-X, --exclude-type=TYPE <STRING>
   Ignore all filesystems of indicated type (may be repeated)

Thanks for the heads up Carole.

Set notification_interval to 0 for one notification per event.
Do some magic with escalations to get more but not zero.

In fact, I think I'll hack up a max_notifications variable for hosts and 
services. It seems overkill to use escalations for just limiting them to 
a specific number.

Subject: Nagiosgraph question...
Message-ID: <38930.62.254.161.77.1112199471.squirrel@www.openapp.biz>

Hello,

i've installed nagiosgraph but I can't seem to get it to generate any graphs.
There don't seem to be any rrd database files being generated in the rrd
directory, despite permissions of rwxrwxrwx set on the dir itself.

i'm running nagios/nagiosgraph on a Fedora Core 3 x86 system.

The map file itself seems to be fine, at least a perl -c map doesn't
produce any errors.  I'm using the stock map file that comes with the
nagiosgraph 0.3 distribution.

Should I not expect some rrd DB files to be created by default for the
defined service graphs in the map file?

Thanks,

Braun Brelin

out pages in the following format:

Any thoughts?

I had the same problem.  The variables have changed in 2.x.
 
Try  $SHORTDATETIME$ and $SERVICEOUTPUT$ in the misccommands.cfg file
 
Mine look like this:

define command{

Hi Braun,

(copied to nagios-users so that others can benefit)

> Thanks.  I've replaced the default map file with yours.
> 
> Should I immediately start seeing RRD files in the rrd directory?

If the output of the plugins that you're using matches the regular
expressions in the map file, and there are no permissions problems or
other reason why the insert command won't insert, then you should see
RRD files being created as soon as Nagios calls insert.pl.

If not, then turn up nagiosgraph debugging to full (level 5), and if you
see messages about the output not being recognised in your nagiosgraph
log file, tune the regular expressions until they match. Otherwise,
investigate other potential causes of failure as indicated by the
nagiosgraph log file, or if it remains empty, the nagios.log file.

Cheers, Chris.

Without you providing the details on your configurations, my guess is that
you are using the wrong macros in your misccommands.cfg file.  The macros
changed from Nagios 1.x to 2.x and the instructions on the nagiosgraph site
use the 1.x macros.  To get mine working for service check parsing, I had to
alter my misccommands.cfg file:

# 'process-service-perfdata' command definition
define command {
        command_name  process-service-perfdata
        command_line  /usr/local/nagios/nagiosgraph/insert.pl
"$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPER
FDATA$"
}

Hope this helps.

-Ben.

I notice in the nagiosgraph.log file I'm getting errors like:

Wed Mar 30 17:49:34 2005 INSERT debug: perfdata: $||ifscdb2||PING||$||$

Wed Mar 30 17:49:34 2005 INSERT warn: perfdata not recognized

Can I assume from this that the nagios application is not sending data
correctly to nagiosgraph?

Back at the beginning of March there was a thread about this very thing.  
There was a reasonably comprehensive post by P. Lane Williams on 9 Mar 2005.  
Look for it in the archive and I think you'll find some useful information, 
the focus is on Nagios vs. BigBrother but that's at least a subset of what 
you're asking about.

Ben,

Thanks for that information.  In fact, I am running Nagios 2.0b2 and
didn't have the right info in the misccommands.cfg file.

I'm now getting rrd files, but I'm still not getting graphs.  I suspect that
my serviceextinfo.cfg file isn't correct.

I still get the broken graphic image instead of graphs.  When I try to do a
view graphic with the right button click I get the following:

The image
?http://localhost/nagiosgraph/show.cgi?host=&service=&graph=118800? cannot
be displayed, because it contains errors."

Would I be correct in my surmise about the serviceextinfo.cfg file?

Subject: HP Printers Status Down, Yet Ping is OK
Message-ID: <697fb50f3c3d3656c5ec08c696c7b6fa@smls.org>

Just getting started with nagios on OS X Server 10.3.8. I have all the 
various hosts replying properly now, except for the HP printers. I've 
attached two PDF screen shots showing the services and hosts. One shows 
the various checks O.K. but the hosts are down, the other shows ping 
failing (looks like it was using ping6 instead of ping?).

I've used your excellent list archive search in plugins and the regular

Glad it helped.  What is your normal URL for accessing nagios?  Does it
start with http://localhost?  Here's my serviceext.cfg definition:

define serviceextinfo {
        service_description  GETQUOTE
        host_name       host1,host2,host3
        notes_url
/nagiosgraph/show.cgi?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$
        icon_image      graph.png
        icon_image_alt  View graphs
}

This definition, along with my normal nagios and apache configs (I access my
nagios through http://nagios) give me the following URL to access my graphs
when I click on the icon for the service I'm graphing (GETQUOTE):

http://nagios/nagiosgraph/show.cgi?host=host1&service=GETQUOTE

Looking at your graph, it seems that both the hostname and service
description are not getting passed to the URL properly, so it may just be a
typo in your notes_url definition in the serviceextinfo config.  Hope this
helps, too.

-Ben.

Now I feel pretty stupid. I had added -4 to the end of the check_ping 
command to force IP4, however, I didn't realize the Nagios used 
check-host-alive for the host status. I thought it just used the 
results from check_ping. Anyway, adding the -4 to the end of the 
check-host-alive command took care of it.

Add this...

In the start up script.

or put nrpe last in startup sequence so as to emulate the re-start

Subject: NSCA and MS Windows Confusion
Message-ID: <D68B0BA159988E45B3A578D75CA1C76C01AA4EF8@dcpdc.data-care.com.au>

Hi all,

I've been trying for a few days now to find out the best way to
implement send_nsca.exe for our customer's Windows servers that we
maintain for them.

I've set up a Nagios server here at the office and it's monitoring our
internal services etc. fine, but I haven't needed to use send_nsca.exe
for this at all.

However, for our customers, I really need a secure method for getting
passive results from them to our Nagios server here.

Send_nsca.exe seems pretty straight forward, but I think I'm missing
something for how to get the actual monitoring set up on the Windows
servers and to feed the results to send_nsca.

I've looked through the distributed monitoring section of the
documentation as well as the passive service check section, as well as
Google search and the mailing list archives.

At this stage, the only feasible way seems to be by using Perl modules.

The problem with this is getting Perl onto their servers and whether it
will introduce instabilities or issues for them.

I've tried the Nagios event log agent written by Steve Shipway but I've
found it to be a little unreliable on Windows 2003. Mind you, it could
be something I'm doing wrong there too.

Does anyone have any further suggestions as to documentation or working
examples or anything that I can refer to at all? Or even an application
or service that will run and feed the results to send_nsca?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

        }

But the problem that it shows the service as down only after about ten minutes and also to show the service as up also it shows it after sya ten minutes again.

Is it anything related to the above command::basically i wuld like to know that when we say xx% loss or xxms latency then after how many tries this %age is calculated how the command is actually working.

Can anybody suggest on what may be the issue here...

Thanks.
Vivek.

Subject: Nagios with a large number of services
Message-ID: <20050331080016.GA11516@imperium.ph>

Well, we've managed to set up a distributed monitoring Nagios set up
with 26,126 services and 2176 hosts, and the monitoring seems to be
working ok, at least according to our logs.  Unfortunately, the web
interface doesn't seem to work, and terminates with an internal server
error: premature end of script headers in the Apache log.  Initially we
had set up the monitoring system to handle only 2000 or so services, and
had no problems using the web interface under such a setup.  What could
be going wrong? We're running this system on Fedora Core 3, with SELinux
disabled but otherwise stock. The central monitoring server (where the
web interface runs) is a dual PIII Xeon box, and the six distributed
servers we have are PIV machines with hyperthreading enabled.  We're
running Nagios 1.2.

Hi Vivek,

did you ever consider to replace check_ping with check_icmp? You may look
through the archive of this mailing list...

Thanks you for the detailed explenation and verifying the services.cfg
command line.
One of the DNS servers reports critical DNS service and the other one
is on-line.
The command works from the command line and returns:
DNS ok - 0 
But nagios  reports the service is critical.
I'll keep working with it.
Thanks

Subject: serial execution of hosts and service checks problem
Message-ID: <424AECBD.2070009@mcs.anl.gov>

So I had a latency problem a while back, and was unable to fix the 
problem.  I just recently set up a test environment with 50 bogus hosts 
executing ping as a service and a hostcheck.  It seems that when a host 
is down the checks do not run parallel and run serial waiting until the 
check times out.  I had similar problems with this other setup which was 
in production:

I am getting roughly 3354 seconds of latency per check and I am not sure 
why.  
Total services:             1812
Total hosts:                  175
Metric 	Min. 	Max. 	Average
Check Execution Time:   	< 1 sec 	6 sec 	0.345 sec
Check Latency: 	2967 sec 	3859 sec 	3748.046 sec
Percent State Change: 	0.00% 	0.00% 	0.00%


I'm mainly concerned with multiple hosts going out in my network and the 
amount of time to complete the checks is extremely delayed.  For 
example, in the above monitoring setup it would take roughly 30 minutes 
to be notified of a service failure...due to the serialization of 
checks.  Does anyone have any suggestions.

HI Vivek,

check the value of 'interval_length' in the nagios.cfg file. normally
it will be 60 which means one interval unit is 1 minute -thus making
the  normal_check_interval    into    5 *60 seconds ie 5 minutes

If the 'interval_length'  is more than 60 , you will have to either
decrease the 'interval_length'  or normal_check_interval     to set
nagios for executing service checks more frequently

thanks
Rajeeve

Dear All,

i installed nagios-2.0b2.tar.gz and nagios-plugins-1.4.tar.gz  on my
fedora core 3, after compliling/installaing/configuring i started it as 

[bimal at bimalserver bimal]#

i got above message!!, yes this is an error(AFAIK), so i am posting my
solution so that this will help someone...

in your installation, in the startup script i.e.

[bimal at bimalserver bimal]# vi /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios

find a line 

 "if ps -p $NagiosPID; then" and change it to "if ps -P $NagiosPID;
then", note the "p" and "P", in fact it is either a typo error or the
system on which it was made uses "p" -- no idea!!!

well in the last i hope that this will be of some use.

regards,

Sorry what I meant was not; run checks in the background; but run

Oki, but that would be (as you said) alot of overhead in configuration.

It's your configuration. If you don't know what ping command you've 
attached, then how do you expect anyone else to do so?

If you're confused about the check_ping plugin you can try check_icmp 
instead. It's available at http://oss.op5.se/nagios

With nagios 2.x, a single service like this might prove useful;
define service {
	use ping-service
	host_name *
	check_command check_icmp!warn!crit
}

assuming you've specified the checkcommand correctly ofcourse.

Hi all,

I found the default map file to be absolutely useless. It didn't match
ANY of the 1.4 plugins. I've attached my map file, which fixes all the
plugins that I want graphs for.

Cheers, Chris.

# INSTRUCTIONS:
#
# This file contains several example of service types. Edit this file to 
# add more service types. The data string from Nagios is in $_ . Use 
# regular expressions to identify and extract data like the examples below
# below.  Match on either output: or perfdata: . The code is pure perl, 
# that will be run inside and eval{}. Results are expected in @s. The
# general format is:
# 
# /output|perfdata:<servicetype> <key>=<value> <key2=value2> .../
# and push @s, [ <databasename>,
#                [ <key>,  GAUGE|DERIVE, <value>  ],
#                [ <key2>, GAUGE|DERIVE, <value2> ],
#                [ .       .              .        ],
#                [ .       .              .        ] ];

Subject: Check_ping problems  ?
Message-ID: <82A6470379751941BB7813ED375731EE34AFFF@bvexch.bvrmc.org>

The devices in question are printers and access points that have single
interfaces/IP's. Regular pings from the box to the devices in question
have no problems at all. (as well as from other machines to/from the
devices in question)

Would there happen to be an archive of the plugins someplace that I
could maybe try different versions of the check_ping command? The reason
I ask this is because the 'weirdness' seemed to have started sometime
after an upgrade on the plugins for my nagios install. (base OS is
gentoo[x86])

It means that you've possibly got several boxes registered to the same
IP address, or other similiar network weirdness.  Ping does that when it
sends out one ping request but gets back two replies.

I'd try some manual ping commands to try and isolate the problem.

Hi.

At least your forwarding of your own mail made it readable (i.e. less

Right. Read up on check_intervals and check_attempts. That _might_ have 
something to do with your problem.

By the way: What does "show" in your paragpraph above mean? Do you mean 
the web interface, or the notifications?

The percentage is calculated like ... well, like you calculate 
percentages. Someting like 100*(sent-returned)/sent is what I'd guess. 
If you need to know better you can read the sourcecode. I doubt anyone 
will explain the inner workings of the plugins to you - you asked your 
questions often enough, and to me it seems as though you should be able 
to find out what you want by simply using the documentation coming with 
the software.

If you need help undertandning the manual you should ask people around 
you, because on a mailing list it's sort of dificult to discuss one's 
undertanding of the documentation. If you don't have the time to use the 
manual you should pay somebody to setup nagios according to your needs.

By the way: The number of tries is determined by the command line 
options you give the plugin. You _should_ try check_<insert generic 
plugin check command name here> -h and try to understand the output. 
Doing some trying on the command line doesn't hurt either.

 I am currently running a nagios 1.2 box monitoring approx 120 hosts and
200 services. On about 20 of the services (almost always as of recently)
I get a WARNING status that says "PING WARNING - DUPLICATES FOUND!
Packet loss = 1%, RTA = 0.27 ms". (or something very similar) have
anyone else seen this odd behavior?

I would go into "Process Info" and click on "Disable Notifications".  :)

Shouldn't be a problem given the limited information.

Ok.

Nagios will:
	- http://www.nagios.org/about.php
	- monitor anything for which a definitive state can be
determined by running a command line program or script.
	- allow you to create your own plugins to monitor anything you
like. You could monitor the temperature of your hot tub if you so
desire.
	- provides for flexible notification methods. If you don't like
the pre-set options you can easily create your own.
	- The list goes on. Try installing it, looking at the standard
plugins and the plugin developer guidelines (http://nagiosplug.sf.net),
you'll learn a lot.

Nagios will not:
	- Cook your breakfast.
	- Wash your car.
	- Create your talking paper for you.
	- The list goes on...

Perhaps the question you should be asking yourself is 'What specific
needs do I have for a monitoring system and does Nagios meet those
needs?'

Sounds pretty straightforward. I've always found that downloading and
installing programs I'm comparing goes a long way to finding out what's
good and bad about them in my environment. Asking others to do your
research is lazy. If you don't have the time to do proper testing then
you should be asking for more time if your employer expects a well
researched comparison.

No problem. I apologize if this seems rude but I've just re-read

The web interface doesn't scale well. Nagios 2.0 has made a bit
of an improvement, but you might  not be able to implement a
central monitoring server with that many services.

Indeed. The cgi's are most likely killed by the infamous OOM slayer, or 
they simply run so long that the webserver decides to kill it. The logs 
should list the reason.

It used to be -p, and still is on most systems (why RedHat went their

It most likely won't. I believe lots of people have created FC3 RPM's of 
Nagios. They should contain custom made init-scripts which will suit the 
system much better.

Submit a patch that cleanly serializes host-checks in a clever manner or 
make the checking logic midway-to-both-ends instead of outside-to-in. 
I'm sure Ethan would be thrilled.

Message-ID: <59839.62.254.161.77.1112202426.squirrel@www.openapp.biz>

I notice in the nagiosgraph.log file I'm getting errors like:

Wed Mar 30 17:49:34 2005 INSERT debug: perfdata: $||ifscdb2||PING||$||$
Wed Mar 30 17:49:34 2005 INSERT info: Input lastcheck:$

Wed Mar 30 17:49:34 2005 INSERT info: Input output:$
Wed Mar 30 17:49:34 2005 INSERT warn: perfdata not recognized

Can I assume from this that the nagios application is not sending data
correctly to nagiosgraph?

Thanks,

if i understand you correctly then one of your questions is, why it takes 
nagios approx 10 minutes to notify?
imho this is because auf the combination of max_check_attempts and 
retry_check_interval. if nagios gets reportet that the check_ping is critical 
then i tries 3 times with interval of one minute to confirm this status. 
after that it notfies.
ok.. example: host goes down ->  (in worst case) 5 minutes later 
(normal_check_interval) nagios checks -> gets critical -> 3 x 1 minutes to 
confirm -> sending mail. ----> approx 10 mins. the same when recovering.

hope this answers a question.

Yep.

When upgrading any software you should verify your old configs use the
correct (new) macros.

Just like the other 25 people that posted this exact same question
(which would be quite easy to find in the list archives).

Subject: [Nagios-users] NC_Net EVENTLOG quirk

I have been successful in getting this check to work with one exception.
I am trying to get notifications of whenever Norton AntiVirus makes a
specific log entry and it doesn't seem to work.  

For instance, when it logs an entry to state that the definitions are
current,  Windows logs the following:

Source:Norton AntiVirus
EventID:16
Type:Information
Description:Virus Definitions are current.

When I run this check, it does not work.... 
./check_nc_net -H hostname -v EVENTLOG -l "application,any,1440,1,Norton
AntiVirus,0,1,16"
OK: No entries in application log recently.

But when I generalize the check, it comes back with an entry......
./check_nc_net -H hostname -v EVENTLOG -l "application,any,1440,1,Norton
AntiVirus,0,0"
14 Errors with ID:
16711696;16711704;16711703;16711685;16711683;16711686;16711686;16711686;

Scheduled sca;.  Action: Clean failed : Quarantine succeeded :


I have noticed that the checks that aren't working correctly either have
spaces in the source name or under 3 digit ID's.  Is this just
coincidence??  In the documentation it states that it "ignores extra
white space in the Regular expression".

Any other Event ID check works fine, i.e...

Source:NC_Net
EventID:3005
Type:Information
Description:NC_Net Service Ending:-NC_Net 2.21 03/13/05

./check_nc_net -H hostname -v EVENTLOG -l
application,any,1440,0,0,1,3005
1 Errors with ID: 3005 LAST - ID 3005: NC_Net Service Ending :-NC_Net
2.21 02/25/05


I have tried this on v2.20 and v2.21 with the same result.  

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Are there any potential solutions to the interface scalability issue, short of writing a new interface from scratch?

Indeed. The cgi's are most likely killed by the infamous OOM slayer, or 
they simply run so long that the webserver decides to kill it. The logs 
should list the reason.

I'd guess you could add more swap space...

Subject: not getting initial notifications in a timely manner
Message-ID: <005b01c53622$72308ea0$7001a8c0@oceania>

Hello all

I have a system set up that uses only passive checks. The way this system
works is on the client server (Linux, Debian) there is a cron job set to run
a script every 3 minutes. That script parses the required data from the
client server and send to a POSTable web page on the Nagios server. The web
page simply appends the data to the 'external command file' where it is put
into Nagios.

All of this works fine. My problem occurs when a service or host has a
problem I do not get notified immediately, or even close to that. As I
understand what I have read the 'notification_interval' for services and
hosts is the interval that you will be notified AFTER the initial
notification. How do I set the Initial Notification. I do not appear to be
getting it.

Below is my services and host config info. Am I missing something? Is
something set up wrong? Any assistance is appreciated.

Tony

Subject: Maximum number of backtracked archives
Message-ID: <200503311939.j2VJd9ld096859@fe01.axelero.hu>

Hi List!

I've used Nagios 1.2 since about January 2004. Today I've played with its
report capabilities for the last year.

I use "log_rotation_method=d". As I figured out the maximum number of
"backtracked archives" which I can set up in the web inetrface is 99. As I
think in my scenario it gives data for a period of 99 days. It is not 365
day!!!

If I'm wrong please give me some details about exactly how can I interpret
this value.

If I'm right I can change "log_rotation_method=w", so in 2006 I can produce
statistics for the whole 2005 year. But in this case I can't produce
statistics based on data for than 99 days?

Any help, suggestion would be apreciated!

Bye, Tamas!
