Distributed Monitoring

[Morris, Patrick]

If you've got passive check logging turned on, and you're not seeing
them in the logs, they aren't coming in.  Do the check results you see
updating every 5 minutes say they are active or passive?  If active,
you're not getting results from your distributed servers at all.
 
To debug, what I'd recommend is to manually run the command you use for
your ocsp_command as the Nagios user from the distributed box.  It
sounds like that may be where things are breaking down, as Jason
suggested.

Below is snippets from configuration. Is there a way to debug send_nsca
?  I tried snoop and the port, tcpdump and the port, or tail on the
nagios.log file and I don't see when it's submitting the results. But
according to the website, they are updating every 4-6 minutes.

 

<Nagios.cfg>

command_check_interval=-1

interval_length=30

log_external_commands=1

log_passive_checks=1

 

 

<services.cfg>

        check_period                    24x7

        max_check_attempts              2      

        normal_check_interval           3        '90 Seconds per check

        retry_check_interval            1         '30 second till retry
on soft fail

 

 

Thanks for the assistance.

Results will be getting sent to your ocsp command every time a check
result comes back on the distributed server if it's obsessing.  Are you
sure the checks are running every 90 seconds?  Or, have you set a long
command_check_interval in nagios.cfg?

I've setup a distributed monitoring server. One issue I'm seeing is that
the distributed server only updates the central server every 4-6
minutes. 

I have service checks running every 90 seconds on the distributed
server. I have it set to obsess over services.

 

Is there any way to adjust how often the send_nsca utility is actually
ran, or adjust how often the distributed server updates the central
server?

I have freshness turned on, and it always wants to go out and get the
results, because it thinks they are stale after 2-3 min. (threshold set
to 450sec). But this creates double traffic, and kind of defeats the
reason for distributed monitoring.

 

Thank You,

Matt
