Here's the situation: I have one host that is being pinged and the SMTP is being checked just fine. It's in Group A. Now, I went ahead and defined 6 new hosts that need to be just pinged. I used the same templates in the hosts.cfg and services.cfg files that I am using for the Group A host which works fine. I have also renamed minimal.cfg to something else, so that is not a problem any longer. It pulls everything from checkcommands.cfg file where check_ping and check-host-alive are defined. I am also using macros, so, I have the following for check_ping in services: check_ping!100.0,10%!500.0,40%!5 Now, I reloaded Nagios just fine and thought that everything should work. Wrong, I am now getting the following error for all of my new 6 Hosts: "check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage!" They all are UP and ping fine. What I can't figure out is how my first host works just fine but the new ones, which share the same templates and service group are throwing that annoying error. What am I overlooking here? Please let me know if you would like for me to paste anything to help with the explanation of my issue.

It seems like you changed it. The default one only reads two set of arguments. check_ping!300,40%!1000,80% define command{ command_name check_ping command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5 } Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

I wonder why you check the partitions (or better LVs in your case) instead of having all local mounts checked by explicitly excluding those which make no sense (e.g. media mounts like CD-ROMs) or special filesystems (like iso9660 or cdfs, procfs, tmpfs etc.) For the first use the -x option, and for the latter -X (both can be used repeatedly) As I usually have those checks executed on behalf of an nrpe daemon I simply define an appropiate command in nrpe.conf of the monitored host E.g. for Linux boxes I would use an nrpe command like # grep check_disk_LOCPCT_W10C5 /usr/lib/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg command[check_disk_LOCPCT_W10C5]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_di sk -e -l -X iso9660 -X nfs -X proc -X sysv -X tmpfs -w 10% -c 5% where warning state is reached when percentage free space is less than 10% and a critical state when less than 5%. As you can see the "%" doesn't need any special quoting for the shell. Besides, I think it doesn't make sense to check the state of NFS mounts why I use the -l option above to restrict the check on local filesystems. Because of unnecessary performance penalties (querying rpc.statd) and possible absence of RPC services or stale NFS handles etc. those shared NFS filesystems should rather be checked on the exporting server, I would assume. > -----Original Message----- > From: nagiosplug-help-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagiosplug-help-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of > Martin J.

Hi Janet, It is true that only one line is supported. However, since the output is going to be rendered by a browser you can embed HTML in that one line. So, for example, you can put a 
 at the start and use 
 to  
begin each new line. I have used this technique quite successfully.

The only small drawback is, if you are sending out page messages you  
will need a small intermediate script to strip out the HTML again  
before sending the text to the paging process.

Cheers

Steven

Subject: [Nagios-users] Externals Commands



I am having real difficulty getting external commands to work and don't full
understand what's going wrong, despite having RTFMing several times. 

As an example, I log in to the web interface as nagiosadmin via basic apache
auth successfully as usual. I go to "comments" in the left hand pane and
enter one for a host but when I click submit, I get the error: 

"Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.

Read the section of the documentation that deals with authentication and
authorization in the CGIs for more information. 

Return from whence you came"

As far as I can tell, I have all the perms set right according to the docs:

cgi.cfg

use_authentication=1
authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin 
authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_system_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin 
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin

nagios.cfg

command_file=/var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
check_external_commands=1
# NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external
# command file as often as possible. 
command_check_interval=-1

ll /var/nagios/ | grep rw/
drwxrws--- 2 nagios apache  4096 Aug  1 13:28 rw/

ll /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw---- 1 nagios apache 0 Aug  1 13:28 /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd| 

The apache process is run by the apache user, a member of the apache group,
so has full perms to the directory and the pipe file nagios.cmd. Nagios is
run by nagios who is also a member of the apache group.

This all looks as it should be according to the docs as far as I can see.

What am I missing?

I think quite a lot of people have trouble with this but a lot give up or
are satisfied that the main bit is working and don't bother with this... 

does anybody have this working and if so could you post your configs so I
can see anything you have different to me?

are external commands generally broken or is there something missing in the
docs/our configs/our brains? 

I'm using Version 1.4.1

			My check_ping command is as follows:



define command{

command_name check_ping

command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
 -p $ARG3$

}



The above is also the structure of my check-host-alive in checkcommands.c
fg



same goes for the check-host-alive command which is what I have
 in the hosts.cfg file --> check_commmand check-host-alive.



For my actual check_ping command in services.cfg I have the following:



check_command check_ping!100.0,10%!500.0,40%!5



So, is passing that last argument '5' to $ARG3$ a problem? I did
 that with my first host and did not have a problem. 



Thanks again for the help

so obviously I RTFM or I wouldn't have got this far.  One part that I did
have questions of was the .htaccess creation, as the documentation I read
only provided  information for setting up users via htpasswd -c and changing
your authorization functionality in the CGI's to 1.

So I did a find / -name *.htaccess* and that file doesn't exist.  Sounds
like I need one?

Sorry, there isn't anything in my /var/www/cgi-bin directory

Is there something missed here?

Subject: Externals Commands
Message-ID: 

ok - somewhere in the nagios docs are the details with regard to setting up
.htaccess but 
 
I think there is a utility in the nagios install directory under bin called
htpasswd or htpasswd2 and you run this util to generate a htpasswd.users
file where
all the users that have web interface access are stored including
nagiosadmin. I store mine in the etc install directory. 
 
Then in my .htaccess file i have the following 
 
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user
 
This file resides in the sbin directory (which is also cgi-bin). Note though
- change the AuthUserFile path to wherever you are storing the
htpasswd.users file. 
 
When i was getting the 'return from whence you came error', this was exactly
my problem - i hadn't set up authorisation correctly and the above was how i
fixed it. 
 
hope this helps.

As far as I can tell, I have all the perms set right according to the docs:

cgi.cfg

authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin

nagios.cfg

command_file=/var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
check_external_commands=1
# NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external
# command file as often as possible. 
command_check_interval=-1

ll /var/nagios/ | grep rw/
drwxrws--- 2 nagios apache  4096 Aug  1 13:28 rw/

ll /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw---- 1 nagios apache 0 Aug  1 13:28 /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd| 

The apache process is run by the apache user, a member of the apache group,
so has full perms to the directory and the pipe file nagios.cmd. Nagios is
run by nagios who is also a member of the apache group.

This all looks as it should be according to the docs as far as I can see.

I think quite a lot of people have trouble with this but a lot give up or
are satisfied that the main bit is working and don't bother with this... 

does anybody have this working and if so could you post your configs so I
can see anything you have different to me?

are external commands generally broken or is there something missing in the
docs/our configs/our brains? 

I'm using Version 1.4.1

The .htaccess is only required if you don't have root access to the
server & thus can't add it to the main httpd.conf. If you have root
access, its almost always better to add it there. In that case you would
have no .htaccess file, it would all be in the server config.

ok - somewhere in the nagios docs are the details with regard to setting
up .htaccess but 

 

I think there is a utility in the nagios install directory under bin
called htpasswd or htpasswd2 and you run this util to generate a
htpasswd.users file where

all the users that have web interface access are stored including
nagiosadmin. I store mine in the etc install directory. 

 

Then in my .htaccess file i have the following 

 

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

 

This file resides in the sbin directory (which is also cgi-bin). Note
though - change the AuthUserFile path to wherever you are storing the
htpasswd.users file. 

 

When i was getting the 'return from whence you came error', this was
exactly my problem - i hadn't set up authorisation correctly and the
above was how i fixed it. 

 

hope this helps.

that I did have questions of was the .htaccess creation, as the
documentation I read only provided  information for setting up users via
htpasswd -c and changing your authorization functionality in the CGI's

	So I did a find / -name *.htaccess* and that file doesn't exist.
Sounds like I need one?

Htpasswd is included with apache by default. It's not a script or
program in the nagios package, but is part of apache.

This file resides in the sbin directory (which is also cgi-bin). Note
though - change the AuthUserFile path to wherever you are storing the
htpasswd.users file.

 

It doesn't have to reside in the sbin directory, in fact since that
directory is remotely/publically accessible via the webserver, its
probably a better idea that it isn't. As long as the path in ur
.htaccess or httpd.conf is accessible by your webserver user, and the
file writable by the same, it can be anywhere on the file system.

 

When i was getting the 'return from whence you came error', this was
exactly my problem - i hadn't set up authorisation correctly and the
above was how i fixed it. 

 

Incidentally, I have the authentication set up identically as described
in the manual (with paths changed accordingly), and mine doesn't work
:-)

Message-ID: 

actually you can use .htaccess or the httpd.conf file it doesn't matter. If
you put in the httpd.conf you have to restart apache - not always convenient
to 
do that. But using .htaccess means you don't have to do that and can simply
add this file into the locations required with immediate effect. 
 
Also, htpasswd(2) does as you say come with apache but it has been known to
be included with Nagios!

My directory structure is as follows:



/etc/nagios/ contains the main files (cgi, nagios, resources)

/etc/nagios/mysite contains all the other files (hosts, services,
 servicegroups, checkcommands, etc..) 



What files do you think I should grep for check ping?



Also, I have disabled check_ping altogether and am now using only
 check-host-alive as check_ping throws some errors. 



So, I now have in hosts.cfg



check_command check-host-alive



and in services I also have

check_command check-host-alive 



One of them has arguments to pass to macros, the hosts.cfg I believe.



I will try to run grep on all the files as mentioned however.



Thanks for your help!

I just do something like

   grep check_ping /etc/nagios/* /etc/nagios/mysite/*

to check everything.

okay so here is my output:

in my httpd.conf file I have:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"


#  SSLRequireSSL
   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all

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

Where is my problem for not being able to execute external commands or
schedule downtime for a host?

Subject: Cingular SMS blocking my Nagios Pages
Message-ID: <20060801152318.21700@studentservices.outreach.psu.edu>

Hi,

I am having a problem with my Cingular service passing emails to my
phone from my Nagios server.

I can see from the logs that sendmail on my naigos server is sending the
emails. But they never come through. And there is no error returned from
the Cingular mail server. 

The emails are from nagios at nagios.myserver.myschool.edu. 

I have tried going into the Cingular SMS management tool and adding
nagios.myserver.myschool.edu to the white list for senders to my account. 

When that failed, I stopped sending them directly, but instead had them
sent to a mail group on one of our mail servers, with a recipient list
of my SMS phone address. Still no go. 

I can successfully send to my phone directly from my email and also via
the email group route.

I have tried setting up the notification as both email and pager.
Neither made a difference.  

The odd thing, is that I am able to get pages to my phone from another
nagios implementation on campus that has some of servers in a colocation
room. 

Has anyone had a similar experience? 

I am sure they just assume I am spamming the phone. 

Robert

Does the from address resolve (both forward and reverse) in external
DNS? Does your site use anything like SPF, and if so is your Nagios box
a valid sender for your domain? Is your Nagios box's IP on any
blacklists?  Are you sure it's sending to the right address?

There are a whole lot of things that could be causing this -- none of
them strictly Nagios-related, if you're seeing the messages get passed
from your Nagios machine to Cingular.

For what it's worth, almost my entire team is on Cingular, and dropped
alerts have never been an issue.

It might sound silly, but try turning the phone off and on. Cingular's 
SMSC infrastructure is notorious for "forgetting" how to route mail when 
a device hasn't registered recently (at least, in the NYC area). I've 
seen whole days where I will receive notifications from the office and 
personal implementations, but I won't get anything from Yahoo! Sports or 
GMail. Powering off and on re-registers the device and I'll get a flood 
of old messages, with the only commonality the sender being less 
frequent than the ones that are working.

I think this is the problem. The canonical name is different than than
the host name which is an alias on 
the dns record:

IP address = NNN.NNN.NNN.206
canonical name = mydepartment206.mydeparment.myschool.edu; 
host name/alias = nagios.mydeparment.myschool.edu
sender address nagios at nagios.mydeparment.myschool.edu

I am trying adding the canonical name to my white list on cingular's SMS
management site. 

Hopefully, if I am explicitly allowing sms from that system, it will get
through. 

As far as being on any black lists, I don't think so. The box has never
been a mail server before being set for the very limited ability to send
nagios pages. 

Thanks for the suggestion.

okay so here is my output:

in my httpd.conf file I have:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user


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

   Options None
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios Access"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
   Require valid-user

Where is my problem for not being able to execute external commands or
schedule downtime for a host?

actually you can use .htaccess or the httpd.conf file it doesn't matter. If
you put in the httpd.conf you have to restart apache - not always convenient
to 
do that. But using .htaccess means you don't have to do that and can simply
add this file into the locations required with immediate effect. 
 
Also, htpasswd(2) does as you say come with apache but it has been known to
be included with Nagios!

The .htaccess is only required if you don't have root access to the server &
thus can't add it to the main httpd.conf. If you have root access, its
almost always better to add it there. In that case you would have no
.htaccess file, it would all be in the server config.

ok - somewhere in the nagios docs are the details with regard to setting up
.htaccess but 



 

I think there is a utility in the nagios install directory under bin called
htpasswd or htpasswd2 and you run this util to generate a htpasswd.users
file where

all the users that have web interface access are stored including
nagiosadmin. I store mine in the etc install directory. 

 

Then in my .htaccess file i have the following 

 

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

 

This file resides in the sbin directory (which is also cgi-bin). Note though
- change the AuthUserFile path to wherever you are storing the
htpasswd.users file. 

 

When i was getting the 'return from whence you came error', this was exactly
my problem - i hadn't set up authorisation correctly and the above was how i
fixed it. 

 

hope this helps.

so obviously I RTFM or I wouldn't have got this far.  One part that I did
have questions of was the .htaccess creation, as the documentation I read
only provided  information for setting up users via htpasswd -c and changing
your authorization functionality in the CGI's to 1. 

 

So I did a find / -name *.htaccess* and that file doesn't exist.  Sounds
like I need one?

 

Sorry, there isn't anything in my /var/www/cgi-bin directory  

 

Is there something missed here?

This error is generally caused by not correctly using .htaccess and also not
configuring apache properly - check your httpd.conf is correctly configured

Subject: [Nagios-users] Externals Commands

I am having real difficulty getting external commands to work and don't full
understand what's going wrong, despite having RTFMing several times. 

As an example, I log in to the web interface as nagiosadmin via basic apache
auth successfully as usual. I go to "comments" in the left hand pane and
enter one for a host but when I click submit, I get the error: 

"Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.

Read the section of the documentation that deals with authentication and
authorization in the CGIs for more information. 

Return from whence you came"

As far as I can tell, I have all the perms set right according to the docs:

cgi.cfg

use_authentication=1
authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin 
authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_system_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin 
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin

nagios.cfg

command_file=/var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
check_external_commands=1
# NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external
# command file as often as possible. 
command_check_interval=-1

ll /var/nagios/ | grep rw/
drwxrws--- 2 nagios apache  4096 Aug  1 13:28 rw/

ll /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw---- 1 nagios apache 0 Aug  1 13:28 /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd| 

The apache process is run by the apache user, a member of the apache group,
so has full perms to the directory and the pipe file nagios.cmd. Nagios is
run by nagios who is also a member of the apache group.

This all looks as it should be according to the docs as far as I can see.

What am I missing?


Hari


I think quite a lot of people have trouble with this but a lot give up or
are satisfied that the main bit is working and don't bother with this... 

does anybody have this working and if so could you post your configs so I
can see anything you have different to me?

are external commands generally broken or is there something missing in the
docs/our configs/our brains? 

I'm using Version 1.4.1

I think this is the problem. The canonical name is different than than
the host name which is an alias on 
the dns record:

IP address = NNN.NNN.NNN.206
canonical name = mydepartment206.mydeparment.myschool.edu; 
host name/alias = nagios.mydeparment.myschool.edu
sender address nagios at nagios.mydeparment.myschool.edu

That certainly makes sense. Thanks for the input everyone, but I
 believe I have resolved my problem.



What I did was change check_ping to check_icmp, then setup the correct
 permissions (chmod 4711 and chown root.nagios on check_icmp), then
 changed the checkcommands.cfg, hosts.cfg and services.cfg files
 to reflect this.



All of them are now showing up. Now I just need to see if the notificatio
ns work with them.



Thanks once again for everyone's help.

Subject: Mutliple users cannot see their assigned
	hosts/services (contacts)
Message-ID: <8a547c840608011033n6a7c0d9cpbbbf685832837ccd@mail.gmail.com>

Okay I've gone thru the list and I have no clue why things are not working
so I'm breaking down and pinging the collective.

I can access using user/pass and view any and all services, do whatever I
want with the user that is configured in the various

authorized_for_* in the cgi.cfg

So I obviously or believe that:
a) if I'm being prompted for a pass/user that I have Apache auth working
fine
b) that if I log in with the associated user in the authorized_for lines and
can do everything I have a user/pass that CGI is accepting

Sooooo

When I create a secondary and tirturary user and those user names match the
contact group of various hosts why do I get the error:
"It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any
of the hosts you requested..."

Soo that you don't have to ask me questions regarding my configs..

Here is what I think to be pertinant:

Apache:
Alias /nagios "/usr/share/nagios/html"


    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AuthName "Nagios Access"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
    Require valid-user



    Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AuthName "Nagios Access"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
    Require valid-user


cgi.cfg "Only configured for my admin as the other users should
automagically be given visability into their hosts/services"

*
authorized_for_all_services=admops
authorized_for_all_hosts=admops
*
contactgroups:

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       qa
        alias                   QA Admins
        members                 nagios-admins,qa-admins
        }

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       dev
        alias                   Dev Admins
        members                 nagios-admins,dev-admins
        }

hosts_*.cfg

define host{
        use             generic-host
        host_name       qa760
        alias           qa760
        address         xx.xx.xxx.xx
        check_command   check-host-alive
        contact_groups  admins, qa
        }

htpasswd-users:

admops:SECURED
qa:SECURED
dev:SECURED

I'm not sure what I'm missing, any pointers would be great.

Thanks
Tory

The HTTP Username is the contact Name. Not the contact_group Name

Message-ID: 

I added my localhost as a host and defined it in services and hostgroups.
added services: current load, current users, root partition, and total
process.  Anyway nagios tells me the host is down and returns the message in
this subject line.  Any ideas?

Message-ID: <27acffb00608011054m5b69d72p7986084314edaed8@mail.gmail.com>

Hello, I have a machine where I installed the nagios, the plugins and the
nrpe with tar.gz archives. It runs good. But I installed the nagios, nagios
plugins and the nrpe in another machine with rpm packages. When I try to
monitor this machine with the first, I receive the follow message: Return
code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing.
I checked the path to the plugins into resource.cfg and it is correct.
What do I must to do???

Thanks.

what are the permissions on the plugin?  does Nagios have rights to
execute it?

I see that error when I forget to chown nagios:nagios, so it can
actually run the plugin.

Subject: ordering service checks
Message-ID: <44CF9D54.1060705@qsent.com>

    Hello.
    I'm hoping to get some input in the best nagios way to solve this 
particular situation.

    So I have an application to monitor that requires multiple steps to 
determine the overall health of the application.   So here is a simple 
example that demonstrates my situation.

    1.    Email is sent to an address associated with an in house 
reporting application.   
    2.    During the 5 - 30 minutes following the first step (as long as 
the first step succeeded ok)
           another service checsk a specific URL for a resulting pdf 
file.   If the pdf file is available then the overall service is ok and 
the monitor repeats itself.   It's important that step #1 doesnt run 
again until  after  step 2 completes OK.


     So some of the approaches I have started to mentally walk through 
are listed here.    I'm fairly new to nagios and have used basic 
dependency checking before but have never tried to tackle a problem like 
this so I'm hoping someone will suggest some high level options for me 
to consider.

    Approach #1.
    Have a cron job kick off a shell script which permforms the above 
steps and iterates through step #2 using timers/sleep and then submits 
passive results to nagios.

    Approach #2.  I've not worked through all the details of this 
approach but I imagine I would be able to
setup service #1 to have a very high normal_check_interval (say 60) and 
then use a dependency so #2 wont execute unless service #1 is ok.    But 
even if I have the dependency for #2 on #1 being ok what if #1 didnt run 
for some reason but is still listed as OK from the previous run then #2 
would execute and start looking for a file that would never show up.

    Anyhoo any tips/pointers on other/better approaches I might consider 
would be super groovy.
    THanks.   Deet.

Magic 8-ball says you have a configuration error.

Just what did you add exactly? It would be nice to see the relevant
config sections. The error seems to indicate you have an issue with your
load service.

Hi Derek

i think this is a job for an external cronjob.

Write your checks and submit the result per external command.

The plugin you are attempting to execute is not in the location you've
told nagios it is. Are you defining resource.cfg as a resource_file in
nagios.cfg and nagios can read that file. Specific configuration
examples would be really helpful.

Message-ID: 

In my case I found this happened once because we used a certain Linux
shared library that was in my path when I executed the plugin by hand,
but when Nagios (which ran with a much more limited environment) tried
to run the plugin, it failed as it could not find that shared library.
 
The solution for us was to add the directory path to that shared library
in an LD_LIBRARY_PATH definition in Nagios' startup script.

	Hello, I have a machine where I installed the nagios, the
plugins and the nrpe with tar.gz archives. It runs good. But I installed
the nagios, nagios plugins and the nrpe in another machine with rpm
packages. When I try to monitor this machine with the first, I receive

With my install just following the docs was all I needed to get

This will work presuming your check_local_load command{} uses the $ARG1$
and $ARG2$ macros appropriately --

$ ./check_load -w 5.0,4.0,3.0 -c 10.0,6.0,4.0
OK - load average: 2.90, 2.29, 2.76|load1=2.900;5.000;10.000;0;
load5=2.290;4.000;6.000;0; load15=2.760;3.000;4.000;0;

Your command{} command_line should look something like --

command_line $USER1$/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

Does it?

There is a command named 'check_local_disk' that has been defined  
twice: once in minimal.config (at line 92?), the other is somewhere  
else in the files specified in nagios.cfg.

Nagios doesn't know which one you prefer, so it won't accept the  
current configuration.

As John said, you have two definitions. Just rename minimal.cfg
 to minimal.cfg-old and simply copy/paste commands from it to your
 checkcommands.cfg file.

Is the wordwrap on the check_command line the fault of your e-mail
client or is it a problem with the actual config file?

Subject: NRPE check_disk giving incorrect info!
Message-ID: 

Hi Guys,

I'm using NRPE on a Fedora Core 2 box.

I'm using the following line in /etc/nrpe.cfg to check the disk:

command[check_disk4]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p 
/dev/hdd1

Here is what df -k gives me that disk:

/dev/hdd1            241263968 136218652 105045316  57% 
/mnt/storage/ftp-storage

But the Nagios Webpage gives me a crazy answer!!!

Status Information: DISK OK - free space: /mnt/storage/ftp-storage 
-4126222888188510208 MB (20952869% inode=99%)
Performance Data: 
/mnt/storage/ftp-storage=-865395347MB;-452984852;-452984842;98;-452984832

I have many other drives on the same machine and they all work fine! So, I 
can't understand what is the specific problem with this one.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jan,

Can you try the snapshot at http://nagiosplug.sf.net/snapshot. There  
have been fixes to check_disk so it should be the same output as df.

Do those files exist?

Is there a good reasaon to have the "//" before libexec?

I haven't been through this is a while, but normally "//" will keep an 
executable from executing.

I am naturally wondering how those got in the command in the first place, 
but if you can execute the command without the aditional "/" you may be 
able to fix this easily, editing the appropriate .cfg file.

Just my USD $0.02.

Subject: NSCA --daemon problem: too many child process
Message-ID: 

Dear All:

I have a Nagios distributed setup (Central: Solaris 9, sparc , 1 GB RAM,
Nagios 2.4, nsca 2.6/Distributed: Solaris 10, sparc , 1 GB RAM, Nagios 2.4,
nsca 2.6) monitoring more than 600 servers and 2000+ services. I am running
nsca in daemon mode and have noticed that it spawned child processes around
2800+ and my system swap usage was full. None of the service checks was
happening there on.

I could see lot of WARNING messages in nagios.log like,

[1154408570] Warning: The results of service 'disk_d' on host 'server001'
are stale by 21 seconds (threshold=862 seconds).  I'm forcing an immediate
check of the service.

Also I could see lot of messages in /var/adm/messages like this,

Aug  2 00:28:02 nagiosserver genunix: [ID 470503 kern.warning] WARNING:
Sorry, no swap space to grow stack for pid 13531 (sshd)

I had to login thorugh system console and kill nsca and restart for
rectifying this problem.

Any idea what would have caused this problem?

Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

Subject: Nagios Light?
Message-ID: <44D0BA18.8080001@gmail.com>

After trying to work with Nagios for a while, I've determined that it's 
not the best fit for most of the environments I work with. Looks like 
great stuff, but takes too long to setup, configure, and get running in 
network environments where I would leave it with administrators will 
little to no linux knowledge.

Is there something linux-based that would be comparable to "nagios 
light"? Thanks for any input.

Yes, that looks good. I'd --
	- verify that nagios was reloaded after creating this command
definition
	- verify that there aren't multiple nagios daemons running
(stop; kill; start)
	- verify that nagios is executing the command I think is. Modify

There's a big point in sending RECOVERY even in scheduled downtimes.
I already mentioned it, but I don't mind explaining it again to you.
If a service failed before a downtime, it needs to send out recovery
notifications even when in downtime. Take my example: service goes
critical, every admin gets notified, host goes into downtime,
host reboots, service goes ok after reboot, no notifications get sent
because the host is still in downtime.
Every admin that is currently offsite can't know about the reboot
(cause it happened in downtime and noone noticed despite the one who
rebooted) and will never get notified about the recovery. That poses a
big problem for bigger companies who have numerous admins getting
notifications from nagios. If such a case occurs I usually get a call from
my CTO why problem XY wasn't fixed yet and I have to tell him:
I fixed it with a reboot, but nagios didn't send out the recovery because
of the downtime.

It wastes time and ressources.
Time and ressources mean money.
Wasted money is bad.

Depending on the company and CTO, it's also bad at review time.

I have noticed that double slash in a number of places throughout the

to enter a command path. /bin//echo "test" works just as well as /bin/

The problem is that it sounds like you're using scheduled downtimes
incorrectly. It's not meant to be used for *un*scheduled downtimes; thus
the name.  It's meant to supress alerts from a machine during the
specified window, and that's exactly what it's doing in your case.

I can tell you that I'd really annoyed if it didn't work as advertised,
and *did* send alerts in the middle of the night when I was working on a
box and someone else was carrying the pager (well, I might not be the
guy to get annoyed, but I'd hear about it in the morning).

It sounds like you should probably be acknowledging critical services,
rather than marking them as being in scheduled downtime when they're
not.  That way the alerts stop until the service comes back up, and
you'll be notified when it changes state.

Hi Janet,

It is true that only one line is supported. However, since the output  
is going to be rendered by a browser you can embed HTML in that one  
line.
So, for example, you can put a 
 at the start and use 
 to  
begin each new line. I have used this technique quite successfully.

The only small drawback is, if you are sending out page messages you  
will need a small intermediate script to strip out the HTML again  
before sending the text to the paging process.

Cheers

Steven

you're probably looking for a graphical monkey point-n-click program 
which will be commercial.

I don't think there is such a thing as a light version of Nagios. It's 
not that heavy as it is.

I would google commercial products if I was you....

It is a scheduled downtime. I put the host into downtime, because I
was planning to reboot it. I do not want notifications to be sent
out for the reboot of course, so I am forced to set a downtime.

I'm not talking about sending alerts. I'm talking about sending
recoveries for alerts that happened _before_ the downtime, not
for suppressed alerts _during_ the downtime. For those a recovery
should never be send of course - as no alert has been sent.

> It sounds like you should probably be acknowledging critical services,

If I acknowledge the problem, everyone get's a notification too.
Where's the benefit?
And acknowledging the problem doesn't make any difference.

Service goes critical
SMS gets dispatched
Problem gets acknowledged
SMS gets dispatched
Host gets scheduled for downtime
Reboot
Host/Service OK

Still no notification for the rest of the admins that the service
is fixed. For them it looks like it's acknowledged and I'm working on
it - but no sign ever that I fixed it.

Problem persists and still no progress for me as the outcome stays the
same: Noone gets notified that the problem was fixed and people will call
if I am still working to fix the problem.

I still say: for every WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN that has be sent there
must follow a RECOVERY in case the Service/Host recovers. That's expected
behaviour and everything else is rather diffuse behaviour in my opinion.
(unless I explicitly suppress all notifications for the service/host in
question - but downtime shouldn't work this way)

Hi,

I think you might want to rethink your process so that it matches the
paradigm of the tool you are using. It already can do what you want if
you just work with the way it was designed, rather than forcing a
process that breaks the paradigm.

Host DOES NOT get scheduled for downtime 

Since the unscheduled event has already been acknowledged and everyone
who might want to jump in to help already knows it is being handled,
there is no need to schedule a downtime for an unscheduled event. Just
acknowledge it. 

>Reboot

Everyone knows what is happening. Your performance evaluation gets a
boost for being the one to solve the problem.

Just a thought.

Or you could temporarily disable notifications for the host during the
reboot.  The Nagios docs are pretty clear that "[w]hen a host a service
is in a period of scheduled downtime, notifications for that host or
service will be suppressed."  It's working as designed.

I think we also have different definitions of "scheduled."  That's not a
word I would use to describe rebooting a box to bring a failed service
back up.

But you are talking about sending alerts.  Recovery alerts are still
alerts, and alerts are suppressed during scheduled downtimes.

If you don't want everyone to know you're acknowledging the problem (why
you wouldn't, I'm not sure), you can uncheck the "Send Notification" box
and everything stays nice and quiet.

That's not how it works.  If a service alerts that it's gone down, it
will also alert when it comes back up -- unless you mark it for
scheduled downtime, or otherwise disable notifications, in which case
alerts will be supressed.

That's how it works when you don't turn notifications off, which is what
you're doing.

But it does.  You're expecting it to do something other than what it's
designed for, and to behave in a way other than how it's documented.

I agree that Nagios takes some time to setup in comlex environments.  In 
fact, one could argue your Nagios implementation is never really "done," 
rather it changes as you change your network and your monitoring 
infrastructure.  Still, Nagios is clearly the best tool for the job from 
where I'm standing.  To get to "Nagios Light," you need two things, 
1, get a list of hosts to monitor, 2, map that host list to a service 
list.  Once you have 1 and 2, you write some code to generate your nagios 
config.  If you're smart, you package that up and deploy it with your 
systems.  If you're even smarter, you consolidate those up into a nagios 
hierarchy and you have a picture of your whole network.

Hope that helps a bit.  Contact me off list for more detatils.

When stopping Nagios, I typically issue a /etc/rc.d/init.d stop and then
verify there are none running.  I also use Kill -HUP since I normally start
nagios as a daemon with the -d.  Is this the correct process?  Further, what
is best practices after adding a host to refresh Nagio to pick up that host
without reflecting undetermined availability for the rest of the hosts or
causing any problems?

While not nagios-lite and requiring some nagios know-how to set up,
oreon is pretty good for a free/gpl product.  It leaves users with a
reasonably easy point and click interface to use, and is pretty
straightforward. No linux knowledge required (unless something goes
horribly wrong).

Subject: Warning threshold must be float or float triplet!
Message-ID: 

These could be normal. Nagios will spawn a child process to manage each
check. What you're interested in is if there are multiple nagios process
with a parent PID of 1. ps -ef usually shows child/parent PIDS. If you
stop nagios and see none remaining then you don't have multiple daemons
running.

As far as reloading config, a HUP to the parent process or calling
'/etc/init.d/nagios reload' is sufficient.

Magic 8 ball says you have a configuration error.

Your warning threshold (-w) is not an integer or percentage. Post
specific configuration information for the check (service, command, and
NRPE command definition on remote end) for a specific answer.

If the directory existed, it would be... well, /home/nagios.  Sounds
like you have a Nagios user created with a nonexistant home directory.
This would be broken at the system level, not in your Nagios
configuration.

Normally, though, this wouldn't be fatal.  Check you Nagios logs to see
why it won't start.

The error message is realtively clear, as far as error messages go.  It
is trying to write to /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd but that
directory doesn't exist.

Either you need to create it (and make sure it's writeable by the Nagios
user), or you need to fix your configuration to write to the correct
place.

Seems like your configuration is expecting to exist
the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw directory.

Have you ran `make install-commandmode` ??

Have you read any documentation?

Message-ID: 

I sent the reload command and basically nagios is now telling me 30 hosts
are down and that number is increasing?  This is a problem.  why does this
happen?  And back to my original issue, nagios itself is still showing
down.  I modified the command as you suggested, how do I verify that?

This is all good stuff as once I catch the learning curve here and get these
things ironed out, it'll be nice.

I'd highly recommend you read:

a) The response I sent earlier telling you what the problem is with the
Nagios user's home directory, and

b) The Nagios documentation on how to configure check commands and
service definitions -- one of the two (or both) for that command is 
incorrect.

Since you haven't provided either the check command or the service
definition, what exactly *is* wrong is anybody's guess.

Pardon me. But if a reboot is required to fix things on a regular basis
you got bigger problems that need to be solved.

I think you might want to re-read my mail, it seems you did

I never said anything else.
I never said I scheduled a downtime for the SERVICE.
I said I scheduled a downtime for the HOST, because I was
forced to reboot the HOST to fix the SERVICE problem.
I didn't have the possibility of acknowledging the service,
fix it and be happy. Sometimes certain services of some
retarded OS tend to kastrate themselves and only a reboot
can fix it. If I do not schedule a HOST downtime, then
SMSs get dispatched for the HOST being down and going up
and then for the service recovering. Not exactly the
behaviour I'd like to see.

Uhm and what about the 2 SMS going out to everyone stating the
host going down and up again? That is neither expected (by the rest
of the admins for example), nor wanted behaviour.

I DO know what the documentation says regarding scheduled downtimes.
I DO know it says it suppresses all alerts.
Yet I still say it should not suppress recoveries for critical/warning/
unknown which happened before a schedule downtime. Somewhere else in the
documentation (or was it by Ethan somewhere else?) it states that for
every alert sent, there will be a recovery if it goes OK again.
And alas, Ethan seems to agree with me, so I can't be that wrong, eh?

It's working exactly as phrased in this part of the documentation.
But we're not the church and the documentation ain't the bible,
therefor it can be faulty ;)

All I'm saying is the fact, that the documented and shown behaviour
does not make all that much sense if viewed from certain points.

Well yes, that might be.
But if I understand you correct, then your definition of "scheduled"
means that it has to be planned long before for a certain timeperiod.
That's not what it's meant for. There's a reason why you cannot enter
fixed downtimes for certain periods as in "scheduling them ahead".
You can only "schedule" downtimes instantly with a click, they're
meant to be used like that - they don't leave you any other choice.

I do not really see a difference between rebooting a machine because
a bios update or because some service hangs. It's reboot and I planned
it all by myself with my free will. Therefor I will schedule a downtime,
as I know: it will go down when I press that reboot button.

That's a scheduled downtime for me.

> But you are talking about sending alerts.  Recovery alerts are still
> alerts, and alerts are suppressed during scheduled downtimes.

Well, that's playing with words. Of course I'm talking about
critical/warning/unknown/down when talking about alerts. I thought
that was rather clear from my wording. Alerts are critical, warning,
unknown, down. Recoveries are recoveries. Alerts and recoveries
together are notifications. But recoveries are not alerts in my
understanding.

Well, that's the question. Was it designed that way? I don't think so.
Is it documented and implemented that way? Yes it is.
Though the latter is true, that doesn't mean I cannot vouch for taking
my point as it is a much better approach to the problem. The notifaction
system must be made aware of why a certain notification get's send and
decide whether it has to send it or not. Scheduled downtime should not
blindly block everything. If it would, then where's the difference
between scheduling downtime and just disabling notifications for a host
or service?

PS: Why hasn't HP released a new centrino driver for their notebooks
yet? We are in dire need for an update because of the newly discovered
security hole ;)

    You might try Hyperic HQ. It's recently been released as an Open 
Source product. It's got the point and click interface that you might be 
looking for. I tried it and didn't like it. I find nagios to be much 
better, easier to maintain and set up but you might find HQ to be more 
suited for your environments.

What does the status information for the down hosts/services say.
That'll be a primary indicator of why it's happening. I can't begin to
guess.

Look at the contents of /tmp/nagios. It should contain the command line
that nagios would have executed for the check_local_load service. Can
you successfully run that from the command line as the nagios user?

Subject: disabled ping and check_smtp: nagios won't not ping
Message-ID: <44D15952.60901@sentinare.com>

Hello, Nagios Users,

I need to check_smtp without a PING check, but I can't get nagios to do 
this. One of my customers insists on turning off ICMP, which I actually 
have no problem with, except this one.

Here's the operative definitions I'm attempting:

# 'relay1' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host
        host_group              mail-servers
        alias                   mail-servers
        check_command           check_tcp!25
        contact_groups          admins
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   30
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        }

# 'mail servers' host group definition
define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  mail-servers
        alias           mail-servers
        members         relay1
        }


# mail-servers
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        hostgroup_name                  mail-servers
        service_description             SMTP
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           3
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,c,r
        check_command                   check_mailserver
        }

# 'check_mailserver' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_mailserver
        command_line    $USER1$/check_smtp -t 45 -p 25 -C "MAIL FROM: 
test at sentinare.com" -R "250" -C "RCPT TO: chris.paul at sentinare.com" -R 
"250" -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}

Don't give up.  It is actually very easy to get running on a red hat or
fedora based system (prefers centos here).  It took me forever to get it
running the first time because I kept missing stuff in the manual.  If you
follow the directions it can be up and running in about 10 minutes.  You
might also look into groundwork open source.  It is already packaged and has
its own config tools.

After trying to work with Nagios for a while, I've determined that it's 
not the best fit for most of the environments I work with. Looks like 
great stuff, but takes too long to setup, configure, and get running in 
network environments where I would leave it with administrators will 
little to no linux knowledge.

Is there something linux-based that would be comparable to "nagios 
light"? Thanks for any input.

Oh well I need to check_smtp without pinging but it still does ping, 
even with a check_command of something other than check_ping. I still 
get notified due to the Service PING check: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out 
after 10 seconds.

Then you have a ping check defined somewhere, or you need to
reload/restart Nagios. 

If restarting Nagios doesn't solve it (stop it first, and make sure it's
really stopped by checking a process list before restarting), then
examine your configs more closely to see what has a ping check attached
to it.

Seems my value assessment was just about right.

I guess you have a solidus[1] case against me.

That FreeBSD /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios restart makes sure it shuts down, but I did a "stop" and "ps" to make sure it was stopped and then a "start" just to make sure.

>From the logs, what I see is this:

[1154570103] SERVICE ALERT: relay1;PING;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds   

This service is NOT configured to have a ping check, and this is the problem.

I did see some post somewhere else where someone had the same problem, but I can't find that now. I think this may be a bug in Nagios.

It's most definitely not a Nagios bug - Nagios will never just make up
services that aren't defined in your configs.  It can't.

Would it be possible to show any parts of your config with the word
"PING" in them? I guarantee you one of them is either directly or
indirectly assigned to your relay1 host.

Define the command, or turn off service and host performance data
processing in your Nagios config.

You are right and apologies to all Nagios developers!

Actually to protect customers' privacy, I have to obfuscate what I sent before (changing relay.customer.com to "relay" in my excerpts I sent) and I can't send each part that shows ping, but your clue helped me find the section that is causing my problem:

# all hosts ping   
define service{    
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       *
        service_description             PING
        is_volatile                     0   
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           3
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_ping!150.0,20%!500.0,60%
        }

Many thanks!

The same issue might be the case the other way around.

That are two completely different things. You propably did not expect the
service to go down either. But it did. So how is that different in someone
taking a full server down to 'fix' a service?

The 'damage' of that action is propably larger then the single service. So
shouldn't the rest know you took such draconic actions to fix a service?
Even if happened to be the only option.

Pardon me for noting this sounds a lot like guessing. But feel free to
show a reference.

And if you find conflicting statements then you know both of them can not
be true at the same time. I think you found out which one of the two is
true and which one is not.

In the end. You got the sources. If this bothers you so much you are free
to use them and rewrite certain aspects the way you think it needs to be.

If this is such a business critical tool then I am sure someone is willing
to pay for someone to rewrite this to suit your needs.

These are WARNINGS and not ERRORS.

What is it that is not working as planned?

And remomber. Untill you tell us anything we know nothing about your
setup or config or network.

Looks like a problem with your perl script runing under the embedded Perl
interpreter.

Perhaps one side of the division is a variable which is empty.

Please have a look on /contrib

There is a mini_epn Debugger. Just compile mini_epn by calling "make" in the contrib Directory.

Magic 8 ball says you have a configuration problem.

Verify that you're using the correct $macros$ and that they're spelled
correctly.

Post specific configuration information for specific answers.

Please try to follow the conversation before replying. This response is
confusing and irrelevant to his question.

Subject: Problems with check_ping
Message-ID: 

Please always respond on list so that others may benefit from your
experience.

Most likely /bin/ping isn't executable by your nagios user. Can you ping
something as nagios?

Why that's the case depends on your OS. Most likely problem is that
/bin/ping isn't suid root. Permissions should look similar to --

-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root        27860 Sep 29  2005 /bin/ping

If not, try 'chmod u+s /bin/ping' then try to ping again.

If you have SELinux enabled, that may be preventing the execution of
ping by nagios. Check /var/log/messages for errors/warnings and or run
audit2allow to check for matches and possible resolutions (audit2allow
-l -i /var/log/messages).

Subject: NDO Services
Message-ID: <8C18BAD1F46B2245B0A08BCF1A823DD44401A3@raptor.redhawk.info>

Hello,

I'm looking at implementing syslog via Nagios in a distributed
environment. I want to report historical information for network devices
that output syslog information. Of course, I will be parsing out syslog
information so I don't have a flood of traffic. I see how I can get the
data to the Nagios central server, by using something like sec.pl, which
will use the Nagios services, but when it goes to the NDO MySQL
database, I think the ndo_servicestatus table gets updated, rather than
appended to. 

Is there another way to send this type of data, and still keep a
historical data via Nagios/NDO? I suppose I could use the ndo_logentries
table, although it is very large.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

It sounds to me (and I could be wrong here) like you're trying to get
Nagios to do something it's really not designed, or even fit, to do.
Nagios is definitely *not* a syslog server.  It's really good at
notifying based on triggers in a log, but to actually *be* the log
server?  

I have to wonder why you'd even try to do that when there are real
logservers out there that support storing logs in databases (syslog-ng
scomes to mind).

You could then use sec to send status information to Nagios, and let it
do what it's good at (tracking and notifying based on service states,
and it would automatically save the Critical/Warning/Recovery states you
sent it via NDO if you have it set up). You'd also have a real syslog 
server with a database back end, doing what it's good at.

Trying to hijack nagios databases so you can force them to hold data
they're not meant to hold just seems like a disaster in the making.

Patrick,

Sorry, it's been a long week. No hijacking here.
Using SEC is already on my list, I suppose since Nagios would have a
service configured to report (notification/status, etc) my question is
regarding the data that will be sent to the NDO database. 

Once the database is populated, reporting historical records becomes an
issue. My *REAL* question is which table would be best suited for
reporting? It appears to me that using the ndo_servicestatus table gets
updated, rather than appended, which makes sense. I suppose using the
ndo_logentries table would work best.

Maybe it's time for a beer.. maybe two.

Mike

Trying to hijack nagios databases so you can force them to hold data
they're not meant to hold just seems like a disaster in the making.

Subject: Potential bug with Nag 2.5 scheduled downtime.
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: 

Dear Folks,

I am writing to note a potential bug in Nagios 2.5 (RHEL 3, built from
a SPEC hacked from Dag Wieers).

The bug is that downtime persists after the web interface shows it
should have expired.

For example here is what the extended information panel says about the
host NBASW201

[sh1517 at acisf011 switches]$ lynx -nolist -dump -auth=foo:bar
'http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=NBASW201'

  ...

  Host
  NBASW201
  Member of
  Bar-switches
  a.b.c.d

  Host State Information
  Host Status:
    UP
  Status Information:            PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 3.68 ms
  Performance Data:
  Current Attempt:               0/10

  Next Scheduled Active Check:   N/A

  Check Duration:                0.013 seconds
  Last State Change:             03-08-2006 21:28:15
  Current State Duration:        0d 13h 40m 1s

    YES

  Passive Checks:

  Obsessing:

  Notifications:

But here is what the downtime.dat file reports (and for another host
that was also subject to scheduled downtime and remains in it).

hostdowntime {
       host_name=NBASW201
       downtime_id=2

       fixed=0
       duration=10800

       comment=Building Switch Move
       }

hostdowntime {
       host_name=NBASW202
       downtime_id=3
       entry_time=1154600113
       start_time=1154600014
       end_time=1154610000

       fixed=0
       duration=10800
       author=Peter Zafiris
       comment=Building Switch Move
       }

The times are

[root at acisf011 nagios]# perl -ne 'next unless /(\w+_time)=(\d+)/;
print $1, "\t", localtime($2) . "\n"' downtime.dat
entry_time      Thu Aug  3 20:15:13 2006
start_time      Thu Aug  3 20:13:34 2006
end_time        Thu Aug  3 23:00:00 2006
entry_time      Thu Aug  3 20:15:13 2006

end_time        Thu Aug  3 23:00:00 2006

end_time        Thu Aug  3 23:00:00 2006
[root at acisf011 nagios]#

[root at acisf011 nagios]# date
Fri Aug  4 11:05:04 EST 2006
[root at acisf011 nagios]#

So all the end_times should have expired but the web interface in all
the status screens is still reporting the hosts in scheduled downtime

Yours sincerely,

Subject: Good SEC rules for Cisco devices (to submit passive
	service check results).
Message-ID: 

Dear Folks

Could anyone point me at a list or archive of SEC (Simple Event
Correlator rules) for Cisco devices (partic switches and routers. Not
interested in IDS, PIX etc) ?

There are situations that one would like to monitor that depend on
sequences of events. It is not easy to see how a one-shot service
check could react to the state of the event sometime before the
current check.

SEC on the other hand lets one react to events that consist of for
example two log messages that occur within 5 minutes of each other.

SEC allows very flexible responses once an event is recognised. It is
easy for SEC to submit a passive service check result for example.

To give a flavour of the power of this approach,

Here are some syslog-ng messages showing an OSPF neighbour failure

156018 brurt200 syslog-notice 2006-08-02 02:16:45 134780:
%OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 10.255.255.23 on Tunnel0 from LOADING
to FU
LL, Loading Done
156017 mtart200 syslog-notice 2006-08-02 02:16:43 234: Aug 1 16:16:42:
%OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 10.255.255.23 on Tunnel0 from
LOADING to FULL, Loading Done

155796 mtart200 syslog-notice 2006-08-02 01:40:49 231: Aug 1 15:40:49:
%OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 10.255.255.23 on Tunnel0 from
FULL to DOWN, Neighbor Down: Dead timer expired
155795 brurt200 syslog-notice 2006-08-02 01:40:49 134777:
%OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 10.255.255.23 on Tunnel0 from FULL to
DOWN,
 Neighbor Down: Dead timer expired


It is quite clear that when in this case, both neighbours fail (the
second pair) that the end node 10.255.255.23 is really kaput.



Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

my .....nagios/sbin perms are 775 across the board and there is the same 
.htaccess file in there as in ...nagios/share

according to the docs that should be enough to work.

also, if I couldn't use the sbin then all the other stuff also wouldn't 
work because it all relies on the cgis to show status etc...

I'm tailing the apache logs as I am trying to add a host comment and 
getting the rejected, all that is in the logs is:

192.168.1.5 - nagiosadmin [04/Aug/2006:11:47:48 +0100] "GET 
/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 3011

/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 1250

I am tailing both the access and error logs and this is all I get!

Not very helpful in telling me how or where or if even permission was 
denied by apache auth...

It doesn't see to be the apache auth that is failing...

So whatever you had me do, made the host down go away for the nagios host.

When I sent the reload command however, all hosts start showing down.  I
have to stop nagios and kill the daemon running, the start it again before
it will recognize the host services again.  This causes major problems as it
doesn't reflect current uptime in reports.  Any ideas here?

Another issue that could play into this, I still can't schedule downtime b/c
I can't isue external commands.  Someone mentioned htaccess files, but I
have my httpd.conf file with the same contents.

Without seeing specific configuration sections, it would appear that
you've specified a check_command in your HTTP service{} definition for
host 'test' to be '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H
192.168.87.100 -w 100.0,90% -c 200.0,60%". That is no longer supported
syntax. The check_command should be the short name of a command{}
definition that uses that plugin command line as it's command_line. See
the documentation at 

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service and 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#command

as well as the sample configuration files included with the
distribution.

Is it possible to separate hostgroups into different files.
For example, I would like to have production hosts in one config file
and development hosts in another.

if so how,

Thanks!

yes, just source the extra files in your nagios.cfg like so

cfg_file=/path/to/some.cfg

Yes, certainly. Create a new file, move your desired hostgroup
definitions to it, include it as a cfg_file in nagios.cfg and restart
nagios.

I have used the cfg_dir. My Nagios config looks like:

cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups

In the directory, I have multiple hostgroup files.

Well, because nagios isn't really running the check_load command. The
file above contains the command line(s) that nagios would have run for
check_local_load. As you can see, every other time it runs it the
arguments are missing. I can only think of two reasons why this would
be.
	1) You have two similar, but not identical service definitions
for that host that both use the check_local_load command. One is defined
properly, one is not. Search your configs for references to
check_local_load. Remove or correct the duplicate.
	2) You have multiple nagios daemons running, one with
check_local_load properly defined, one without. Stop nagios, use ps to
verify that all are dead, kill any that might remain and restart nagios.

Once you find the cause you'll need to remove 'echo " ...
">>/tmp/nagios' stuff I had you add to the check_local_load command
definition so that nagios will actually run the command again.

No, but I don't have enough information. Why are they showing down (i.e.
what's the Status Information)? An example host/service/command
definition would probably be helpful.

Did you create your .htaccess/.htpasswd files? Review the documentation
at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html and
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installweb.html. Make sure you've
followed all the steps.

Subject: NRPE no output returned from plugin
Message-ID: <82a5ca600608041405x52851105kc0657f10931c89f7@mail.gmail.com>

So I'm having a bit of trouble setting up NRPE for the first time.
I'm fairly certain things are working as intended on the remote host
because from the Nagios system I can do this:

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H my.host.name -c check_disk_root
DISK OK - free space: / 14843 MB (50%);|

But when Nagios attempts to check this, it reports "(No output
returned from plugin)".

In my services.cfg file, I'm trying to use this service (copied from
other working services that only specify the "use", "host_name",
"service_description" and "check_command" lines):

define service{
    use             generic-service
    host_name           my.host.name
    service_description     / Free Space
    max_check_attempts      3
    normal_check_interval       5
    retry_check_interval        1
    check_command           check_nrpe!check_disk_root
    }

Nagios is running on an updated debian box with everything installed
via apt, but the remote system is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3,
and had NRPE and its dependencies installed via rpm.

Any suggestions for how I should go about troubleshooting something like this?

I'd really appreciate any pointers that come to mind!  Thanks!

Tom

What does your check_nrpe command look like?  Is it doing exactly the 
same thing as the command you typed on the command line?

Message-ID: 

I love NRPE because, unlike the Nagios daemon, it provides robust  
debugging output.  Turn on debugging in your nrpe.cfg and set up  
syslog to dump it somewhere.  (I refer *.debug to /var/log/debug.log.)

Of course, you may not be talking to NRPE at all, in which case the  
above won't do much other than limit the scope of your enquiry.

Make sure that both sides agree on whether you're using encryption or  
not.

Subject: Down does not change to unreachable?
Message-ID: <200608042226.47588.brian.mckee@gmail.com>

Hi All
    I sent a variation on this note a couple of weeks back that no-one 
commented on at the time.
I have confirmed the behaviour again this week so I thought I'd reword my 
comments and put it 
out again.

    If a host goes down, *then* it's parent goes down, shouldn't the host's 
status
change to unreachable?   That isn't happening for me.  I'm still getting host 
down
messages from the original host.  

    If the parent goes down first it acts as I expect, and I only receive 
notices about the parent.

    If my expectations are wrong, are there any work arounds?

    If my expectations are right, is this a known bug?  or fixed in 2.5?

Comments appreciated,
Brian

Globally, or on a per-service basis?

Globally's a piece of cake, even if you don't want to dig through the
status files.  Use the check_http plugin and look for "Notifications
Enabled" or "Notifications Disabled" (the alt text of the
enabled/disabled image) in the output of tac.cgi.

You haven't said anything about how your existing installation was done,
so it's difficult to say the best way to update it.  On my Red Hat
systems, I built a new RPM from my old spec file, installed it, and
restarted Nagios.

And just how did you install the first time?

Backup you config directory and log/state files and play it again Sam. But
the backup is just to be extremely and overly cautious.

Sure, you can have separate config file.

You can specify as many config files as you want in your nagios.cfg.
cfg_file=/some/file

Alternatively you can specify directories in which all your *.cfg files will
be loaded.
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/server

Sebastian.

Is it possible to separate hostgroups into different files.
For example, I would like to have production hosts in one config file
and development hosts in another.

if so how,

Thanks!

Subject: [Nagios-users] NRPE no output returned from plugin

So I'm having a bit of trouble setting up NRPE for the first time.
I'm fairly certain things are working as intended on the remote host
because from the Nagios system I can do this:

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H my.host.name -c check_disk_root
DISK OK - free space: / 14843 MB (50%);|

But when Nagios attempts to check this, it reports "(No output
returned from plugin)".

In my services.cfg file, I'm trying to use this service (copied from
other working services that only specify the "use", "host_name",
"service_description" and "check_command" lines):

define service{
    use             generic-service
    host_name           my.host.name
    service_description     / Free Space
    max_check_attempts      3
    normal_check_interval       5
    retry_check_interval        1
    check_command           check_nrpe!check_disk_root
    }

Nagios is running on an updated debian box with everything installed
via apt, but the remote system is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3,
and had NRPE and its dependencies installed via rpm.

Any suggestions for how I should go about troubleshooting something like
this?

I'd really appreciate any pointers that come to mind!  Thanks!

Tom

In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: <005c01c6b9a3$e3a09e80$690a11ac@FRANKFURT>

I am not aware of any such plugin, but it would be easy enough to write a
plugin that does that yourself in perl.

 

You could parse the 

http://hostname/nagios/cgi-bin/config.cgi?type=hosts 

and

http://hostname/nagios/cgi-bin/config.cgi?type=services

 

and make sure that plugins are enabled.

 

Of course it would be tricky with the one hour time difference, not that I
think of it. 

Maybe you could use escalations somehow? Not sure about that though.

 

Alternatively you might want to choose the "Re-schedule the next check of
this host" Host Command instead of disabling all notifications permanently.

 

There are surely other ways too, but that's what I can think of off the top
of my head.

 

Good luck, 

Sebastian.

Does anyone have a simple way to check whether or not notifications are
disabled? Preferrably from the command line.

Occasionaly I or one of my colleages will disable notifications during an
outage or something and forget to turn them back on.

I want to write a check that sends an alert if notifications are disabled
for more than say, an hour. 

Thanks.

try to do a ldd to your statusmap.cgi. I'm guessing that you haven't
installed libgd, libpng or libjpg.

This is the documentation. Read is what you should. And knowing about
eventhandlers, or drdb, or anything that keeps status of the 'in
production' nagios server updated.

just the client, not a full oracle server. look to linux info about 
environment variables if you don't understand the export line I showed 
you last time. But if you don't know the basics of linux then nagios 
might be a little difficult for you... and there is only so much help I 
can give on this, I have to do my job as well....

Subject: NRPE Compiling problem
Message-ID: 

Hey everyone,

 

I posted this to the Nagios-Plugins-Help list last week, but didn't get
any response.  I'm hoping this list will be able to help me out.

 

This is a new installation of Nagios running on SLES 9.0.  Nagios is
installed and working fine.  SSL is installed.  When I run the
./configure script on NRPE 2.5.2 everything appears to work.  When I
compile with "make all", here's the output I receive:

 

cd ./src/; make ; cd ..

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/nagios/nrpe-2.5.2/src'

gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl -I/usr/local/ssl/include

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: *** [nrpe] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/nagios/nrpe-2.5.2/src'

 

*** Compile finished ***

 

If the NRPE daemon and client compiled without any errors, you

can continue with installation.  The NRPE daemon and client

binaries are located in the src/ subdirectory.

 

 ** If this is your monitoring host **

 

     - Copy the check_nrpe client to the directory that

       contains your Nagios plugins.

     - Create a command definition in your Nagios config

       file for the NRPE client.  See the README file for

       more info on doing this.

 

 ** If this host will be running the NRPE daemon **

 

     - Copy the nrpe daemon to /usr/sbin, /usr/local/nagios

       or wherever you feel it fits best.

     - Copy the sample nrpe.cfg config file to /etc,

       /usr/local/nagios or wherever you feel it fits best.

     - Modify the /etc/services file and configure NRPE to

       run under inetd, xinetd, or as a standalone daemon.

       See the README file for more info on doing this.

 

 

If anyone can point me in the right direction on this, I would be
GREATLY appreciative!  Thanks in advance.

 

Jeff

Subject: Acknowledge variable
Message-ID: <94FE9AAAB50C92448DCF1A4B99816F664AAA92@GRUCLXCHGPR01.gruadmin.gru.com>

I am in the process of migrating from Nagios 1.2 to 2.4.  We use the
acknowledgement feature quite extensively and use it to track the
acknowledgement comment left in the comment field in our ticket system.
My problem is, in 2.4 the '$OUTPUT$' variable no longer returns the user
comment, but instead returns the state of the service/host in the
acknowledgement email.

Is there another variable for the comment, or an easy way to extract
this information without modifying the source?

Thanks.

Yes, there are two, one for host ack comments and one for service ack
comments --

Yes, there are two, one for host ack comments and one for service ack

Subject: CHECK_DHCP Error
Message-ID: <0CA4ED2DD473424883BF20CCD45C18A3F88FBC@mtlexchange.Duocom.local>

Hello,

 

I am having an issue where I have added the check_dhcp but I get the
following error on the web page of the service

 

Return code of 126 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing

 

I have tested the check_dhcp from the command line and I do get a
response form the server. I am running Fedora 3, nagios2.4. 

 

The command line in the command file is as follows

 

define command{

            command_name          check_dhcp

            command_line             $USERS1$/check_dhcp -H
$HOSTADDRESS$

            }

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

I suspect you want $USER1$, not $USERS1$.  That error code often  
(usually? always?) means that there's a problem with the path to the  
plugin.

We do it by having two servers, twin-tailed onto an external mirrored
SCSI disk pack, and then using Linux-HA to do failover between them with
a floating virtual IP and so on.  Works very well although both servers
need to be in the same physical location.  They also both have a local
unpublished secondary DNS server so that it minimises the load on the
central DNS and also protects against DNS failure.

I suppose you could do the same with two servers in two different
locations, if you were using a SAN with iSCSI.

Subject: OT Having your routing protocol monitor reachability
	of routers (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP etc).
Message-ID: 

Dear Folks,

Routing protocols like OSPF maintain neigbour relationships with other
routers in the area by exchanging periodic hello messages.

This can be used as a means of very quickly detecting router
reachabily failures because the hello messages typically occur several
times a minute and a failure is detected in less than a minute.

OSPF routers report a neighbour failure with messages like

155795 bar syslog-notice 2006-08-02 01:40:49 134777: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG:
Process 1, Nbr baz on Tunnel0 from FULL to DOW
N, Neighbor Down: Dead timer expired

155796 foo syslog-notice 2006-08-02 01:40:49 231: Aug 1 15:40:49:
%OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr baz on Tunnel0 fro
m FULL to DOWN, Neighbor Down: Dead timer expired

In this case, there is an OSPF broadcast network with DRs bar and foo.
The Neighbour baz is reported as having failed to respond to poll
(after 10 failures to respond ie 40 seconds). The DRs both report the
failure within 30 seconds of each other.

The way to to detect such failures in real time is with an event
correlation tool like SEC. A very good introduction to the challenges
of event correlation and how to deal with them using SEC is John
Rouillards paper at http://www.cs.umb.edu/~rouilj/sec/sec_paper.pdf

In this case the challenges include

1 detecting the pair of messages within a time interval of each other

2 allowing a delay interval for the neighbour to recover before notifying

3 notifying on recovery.

SEC allows a rich set of actions to be performed when it detects an
event. These include running programs such as a mail client or ssh to
submit a passive service check result.

Yours sincerely.

Hi
Is there any way to define the hosts for "host_name" in the
service-definition as a list?
I want to be able to add a hostname to a list (e.g. a macro in
resource.cfg) and every service-definition automagically (after a
reload) gets the new hostname, without me having to add it to tons of
definitions.
Any way to do that?

Message-ID: <610cb7a00608080511h5627680dpa1bdb06f829230e7@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I've just written a check_sendmail plugin shell script for Solaris; I'm
wondering if anyone has any thoughts for improving it (be as pedantic as you
like), problems with it, etc. Alternatively, if anyone wants to use it
themselves.

To use the plugin via nrpe

** you must give the nagios user on the remote host
** you must give the nagios user sudo access to run this script as root
without password

Kind Regards,
Alex

Subject: extinfo
Message-ID: <20060808122133.GB19397@ninki.quadia.sk>

Hello all,

I am trying to link external graphs and contact informations from nagios
web interface. Currently I'm linking contacts through extended service
informations, but i need to add graphs. Problem is that when I define
another extended information for single service I get errors:

Error: Could not add duplicate serviceextinfo entry for service 'test2' on host 'test'.
Error: Could not allocate memory for serviceextinfo list to add extended info for service 'test2' on host 'test'.

Any ideas how to solve this? I do not insist on extinfo, but it was
easiest way of creating this kind of link (+ custom icons per extinfo).
Many thanks for any ideas.


Best regards,

Jan Gregor

yes, the service definitions can definitely take a list like

host_name   host1,host2,host3...

Not sure about the macros, check the docs that come with nagios since 
they do mention quite a bit about this. It is likely you can define your 
own $MACROS$ as you want and have all the services update just be 
restarting the daemon.

Message-ID: 

There's another, arguably better way to do it under Nagios 2.x.

Use hostgroups.  Specify the service as applying to all hosts in a hostgroup, then add each new host to the appropriate group(s).

Hi

The "correct" way to check the SMF Repository for the state of sendmail
(or any other service) is:

svcprop -c svc:/network/smtp:sendmail/:properties/restarter/state

Regards
Mika


>>> "Alexander Harvey"  08/08/06 2:11 pm >>>
Hi All,

I've just written a check_sendmail plugin shell script for Solaris;
I'm
wondering if anyone has any thoughts for improving it (be as pedantic
as you
like), problems with it, etc. Alternatively, if anyone wants to use it
themselves.

To use the plugin via nrpe

** you must give the nagios user on the remote host
** you must give the nagios user sudo access to run this script as
root
without password

Kind Regards,
Alex

did you put the $USERn$ definition in a resource file and source it via 
nagios.cfg as follows:

resource_file=/path/to/usermacros.cfg

?

Apparently you are allowed 32 of these.

If you can use hostgroup names instead of host names in services 
definition then this will be better in one way, although it will show up 
in your Status Overview and Status Summary pages which might mess them 
up a bit if you want concise overviews like public webservers, internal 
servers, servers at remote office etc....

Yes and I get: 
Error: Could not find any host matching '$USER2$'

$USER1$ (path to my plugin-dir) works fine, but the service-definition
doesn't seem to handle $USER?$.

But I'll look into the hostgroup-option that John suggested.

Thanks for the hint, I'll look into it. Although I'd prefer something
that uses the $USER?$ macro.

Subject: truncated output?
Message-ID: <20060808134253.A07CA4F4045@desire.netways.de>

Hi list



i have a disk check using nsclient++ on a windows server.  the nagios
 server is RHLinux.  When the disk check finds a problem, it notifies
 me via email, but the output is truncated.



here is a sample of what the output *should* look like:

--

WARNING: C:\: Total: 137G - Used: 128G (93%) - Free: 9.05G (7%)
 < warning|'C:\'=7%;7;5;

--



here's what i actually get:



--

Result: WARNING: C:

--



here is the notify-by-email template that i use:



--

define command{

        command_name    notify-by-email

        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$
\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nStat
e: $SERVICESTATE$\nResult: $SERVICEOUTPUT$" |/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATI
ONTYPE$: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

        }

--



so i believe that this is the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ variable that is somehow
 being truncated.



here's the check command definition on the nagios server:



--

define service{

        use                             generic-service

        host_name                       *

        service_description             Check System Services

        is_volatile                     0

        contact_groups                  production-support

        notification_options            w,c,u,r

        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_system_services

        servicegroups                   system

        }

--



and here's the nsclient++ definition for the check on the remote
 Windows system:



--

check_drive=inject CheckDriveSize MinWarnFree=7% MinCritFree=5%
 CheckAll=long FilterType=FIXED

--



can anyone see how/why this wouldn't work as expected?  something
 to do with the '<' or '|' in the service output?  any suggestions
 on how to make it work?





thanks!



J

Google is your friend.

That function is only available in PHP5:

No, all $MACROS$ are only valid in command{} definitions. You can't use
them in service{} definitions.

On that note, is there a way in a service definition to  specify a
hostgroup, excluding some specific members of that host group? something
like

define service {
   hostgroup_name foo!bar
 ....
 }

The above doesn't work for me, but something like that ?

do an ldd on the check_ldap plugin, and see if you are missing libraries,
you'll need the libldap at least  I think.

I do not think it is asp.net specific. It is site/server specific and my
bet is that you need to define the host to use in your request.

Just try it with a telnet to website port 80 and type:

GET / HTTP/1.0


Then try again with the hostname you have to use in the URL for this site:

GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: yourhost.domain


Make sure to send the CR/LF string where I said  and replace
yourhost.domain with the proper hostname.

Please consult your HTTP RFC for more elaborate details.

check_tcp does just that. Do the 3 way handshake to see it is a valid TCP
port and leave.

Protocol knowledge is your friend here.

Hugo.

Other requirements:
 - Must run on Solaris

And other remarks:
 - Will only check if sendmail package is installed

I would call it check_sendmail_installed_solaris so it is more specific to
what it can and can not check.

My first assumption was a SMTP check to verify you have a sendmail
server and perhaps check additional SMTP features. It is a local test and
not a remote test.

Subject: Authentication again. login via web all commands
	work, go direct to cmd.cgi and no access
Message-ID: <8a547c840608081444t227ea89bg2fb39263bb74b814@mail.gmail.com>

I could of sworn I had this working but for some reason it's not working
today.

Scenario:

login is qa, pass, web paints and I see only the qa systems (perfect), I can
click on services, I can disable notifcations etc.etc.etc. So authentication
and authorization appears to be working.

Nothing special in my cgi.cfg file, qa is only setup in contacts and thus
can see these hosts/services by default.

Now, I have modified the outgoing alert to include a url to go to :

http://host/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=34&host=qav01&service=Check_Disk

This allows the groups to acknowledge their own alerts when they are messing
around with their servers (QA/Dev etc)

Now the above url comes up fine ( I login and authemticate as qa), but now I
receive this error

Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.
Read the section of the documentation that deals with authentication and
authorization in the CGIs for more information.

Ummm okay, when I login and do this command from the gui, no issues but when
I issue the cmd.cgi command and authenticate directly i'm for some reason
not authorized, doesn't seem right.

Ideas?
Thanks
Tory

Top posting.. Nevermind, can't believe I didn't catch it. The url does not
match a correct host, if I change the host=FQDN this command works fine, so
I must be doing something tweaking with aliases etc.

Thanks and by apology for reaching out, before seeing this

Subject: No e-mail notifications with new 2.5 install on
	Debian Etch
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: <44D96C4F.4090000@gmxtechnologies.com>

Hi.

I noticed a recent thread by Marcos Marinho having what sounds like a 
similar problem, but no solution yet ...

I have just built from source and installed Nagios 2.5 on a Debian Etch 
(testing) server, and when I cause a fault, the nagios.log shows it 
triggers the notification-by-email, but yet the /var/log/mail.info does 
not show postfix firing up to send the mail out.

I did notice that the command setup in minimal.cfg (what I am playing 
with now, the other command files are disabled) did not put in a mail 
client, as I did not have one installed.  I installed mutt, and added it 
to the command line after the | and before the -s, and also redirected 
the output of the command to a text file and (spacing aside), it looked 
OK.  I'm not sure if the spacing should have been compressed or not, so 
that is a good question.

Running the command manually as root or as nagios, I do get an e-mail 
(as long as I manually replace the $CONTACTEMAIL$ to a real email 
address ... obviously, none of the other variables get expanded, but the 
mail does flow.

Is there some way to turn on additional debugging to see if the nagios 
daemon is failing on the command somewhere???

Notificiations are enabled, etc, etc.

I have some experience with Nagios as far back as the NetSaint days, but 
haven't been able to play with it for a few years, and now have the 
opportunity again.  It looks like it's progressed nicely!

Now, if I could get my may email notifications going, I could dig back 
in and try to figure out the best way to build configuration files and 
all of that good stuff!

Thanks!
Sam

And how do you define 'client computer' or 'server computer'?

What errors? WHat did you try? What were you expecting? ......

Message-ID: 


you can install nagios on any computer running on unix based os with
sendmail and other services is working.but it need mid level hardware or
you can install on high performance server too.
nagios is a monitoring server.so you have to decide where you want to
install.
and you can monitor many client with one nagios server.you have to install
nagios plugin on server and then have to configure your host and services.
you have to read documents carefully.

ok, here is the problem, i've succesfully install nagios and nagios web interface in my pc, the problem is, when i try to open statusmap there's an error:
 
 Not Found  The requested URL /nagios/cgiurl/statusmap.cgi was not found on this server.  
 
---------------------------------
 Apache/1.3.36 Server at localhost.localdomain Port 80 
 i've install all libraries like libgd, libpng, libpng-devel, etc, and i've configure cgi.cfg & httpd.conf, but the statusmap still doesn't appear in my nagios web interface. Is this because my computer running as a client not a server?? or maybe i've wrong configure the cgi.cfg or httpd.conf??

Hi,

 

I want certain hosts/services to only send an email alert if the
host/service is down for 10 minutes.

 

I've tried playing with max_check_attempts and the other obvious
parameters but I still get email alerts after only 1-2mins.

 

Can anyone please show me a sample config snippet or how they do it?

 

Cheers

Nothing wrong with the web server.

It is either not configured properly, or you are asking for the wrong
url.

Do you know what Virtual Hosts are configured?  If you try telneting and
doing an HTTP/1.1 request.

You should address all emails to nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net so 
that all people can read them and help you.

Personally I think you're using an awful distro to start with, but that 
aside, you need to make sure you have configured apache correctly. You 
need to look here and follow it's instructions.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installweb.html

It looks like the web server isn't finding the cgi, so you need to read 
the sections on cgis in the Docs and also make sure that the web url and 
filesystem paths are mapped correctly.

Subject: how to display statusmap?
Message-ID: 

usually statusmap.cgi is found in /usr/local/nagios/sbin which is aliased to
cgi-bin within apache. 
 
It could be that you need gd-devel as well as gd installed when compiling
the cgi's as i had this problem when upgrading to nagios 2.5 
 
Do you get the same problem when trying to view trends ? 
 
If you built from source, try looking in the source directory/cgi to see if
you have the statusmap.c and .cgi - if not check you have gd-devel
installed. 
 
If you built from RPMS then try finding out if the right RPMS were
installed. 
 
hth,

Message-ID: 

You have posted about this 3 times now, all under different subjects

This is a webserver problem, and you clearly haven't done anything to try
and diagnose your own problem.

1. Look in your webserver logs, specifically error_log, there are errors
there
2. Read your webserver config file, see where it thinks the URL
/nagios/cgi-bin   is going to, you have probably messed up the Alias or
ScriptAlias directives
3. Own the problem, it's your system and you are the person who needs to
fix it.

Now, after steps 1, 2, and 3 if you need specific help on some
configuration or have specific questions, then feel free to ask. (Even
though this is not a Webserver help forum)

Please take this information as a general guide for posting to any free
support forum.

Cheers

I'm still scratching my head on this, I can go to the scheduling queue 
and disable checks, the command is processed and applied successfully. 
However I still cannot enter a host/service comment or schedule downtime 
without getting the not authorized, return from whence you came message...

I am logged in as nagiosadmin, here is my .htacccess file which is in 
both my nagios/share and nagios/sbin directories:

AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
AuthGroupFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.group
require group nagios


/etc/htaccess.users:

nagiosadmin: sOmeHaSh1234...


/etc/htaccess.group

nagios: nagiosadmin



I have repeatedly gone over the docs so this should work, I'm at a 
complete loss by this point.

something else that might be of use is the nagios section of my apache 
configuration:

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/nagios/sbin/
    
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Options ExecCGI
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
    
    Alias /nagios /usr/nagios/share/
    
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
    

(My Nagios installation is at /usr/nagios)

Search the FAQ for statusmap. There are several entries I believe. It
seems configure was not able to determine the location of the required
-devel libraries. You can see which ones by reading the ./configure
output.

That should do it. Make sure you don't have multiple nagios processes
running. Post config sections if you need further help.

> Can anyone please show me a sample config snippet or how they do it?

~12 minute delay to notification --
    max_check_attempts             4
    retry_check_interval           3

Looks like you need to add '-H ' to your check_http command to have
it tell the web server which vhost you want to query.

No, 

The problem could be solved putting "-e HTTP" at the end of the check_http
command line, but I am afraid to stop ALL other check_http on my nagios
server

With this command:
./check_http  -I  -e HTTP

I received:
HTTP ok: HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found -   0.007 second response time |time=
0.007

I still have an "Object Not Found" but the exit status in 0 ( OK ).

Did you recompile nagios after you installed libgd, etc? Any compiler errors/warnings? Maybe your gd installation isn't found? Check the output of ./configure.
You do not need any fancy server hardware to run nagios. You can use virtually any client pc in your network - static ip address would be helpful, though :)

Daniel

.Net apps aren't monitored any differently than any other web apps.

Hi,

 

I want certain hosts/services to only send an email alert if the
host/service is down for 10 minutes.

 

I've tried playing with max_check_attempts and the other obvious
parameters but I still get email alerts after only 1-2mins.

 

Can anyone please show me a sample config snippet or how they do it?

One thing to watch is that HOST alerts will get sent out as soon as the host
is detected down. You can play with the retry settings. But you generally
need to keep those short, as a host check supercedes all other checks, and
nagios will essentially pause until it determines status of the host.
 
You can also play with escalations to delay checks. Have no notifications
initially, and then use an escalation to send the alert later. This takes a
little work to get right.

As Andrew stated above, it is a bad idea to set max attempts to high numbers
because the host checks are not run in parallel.  Doing so will cause your
Nagios to have scheduling problems.  Instead let Nagios try to send out the
notification immediately and set up a script to intercept and trash this
first notification.  Then reschedule the next notification for 10 minutes
down the road.

Here is how:

# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    $USER1$/eventhandlers/check_notification
$NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ '/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$HOSTSTATE$ -
$HOSTALIAS$\nDuration: $HOSTDURATION$\nDate: $LONGDATETIME$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$ $NOTIFICATIONNUMBER$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s
"$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$:$HOSTALIAS$/$HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTEMAIL$'
        }

Notice how I added the notification number macro in the above command.

Now, create the check_notification script that it calls:

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = 1 ] ; then
  if [ "$2" = PROBLEM ] ; then
    exit 0
  fi
elif [ "$1" = 2 ] ; then
  if [ "$2" = RECOVERY ] ; then
    exit 0
  fi
fi
sh -c "$3"


What the above does it basically throws away the first notification (which
occurs immediately after a host goes down). The setup might seem a little
strange, but this method allows you to keep your notification message
options inside the Nagios config file.

Now because the first notification is thrown away, we need to have it
schedule another notification for 10 minutes later:


Do this by adding an event_handler to the host definition:
event_handler           ignore_first_hostpage

Define this eventhandler:
define command{
        command_name    ignore_first_hostpage
        command_line    $USER1$/eventhandlers/host_notification $HOSTSTATE$
$HOSTSTATETYPE$ $HOSTNAME$
        }


Now create the host_notification script which is called in the above
command:
#!/bin/sh
# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the
DELAY_HOST_NOTIFICATION command
# to Nagios.  Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.

# Only take action on hard host states...
case "$2" in
HARD)

        case "$1" in
        DOWN)
                # The host has gone down!
                now=`/usr/bin/perl -e 'printf "%d\n", time;'`
                newpagetime=`expr $now + 600`
                commandfile='/opt/FONnagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'
                commandline="[$now] DELAY_HOST_NOTIFICATION;$3;$newpagetime"
                commandline2="[$now] SCHEDULE_HOST_CHECK;$3;$newpagetime"
                echo $commandline >> $commandfile
                echo $commandline2 >> $commandfile
                ;;
        esac
        ;;
esac
exit 0


In the above script, it is important to have the host check scheduled after
the delay notification command because the notification will not occur until
after the next check fails.  If the next check does not fail, and the host
recovers, you will receive no notifications.

Subject: Which sql plugin to use?
Message-ID: 

Hi all,

We are evaluating Nagios and one question that came up is what can we
monitor and report on for SQL 2000? I have Nagios running and already
installed the NRPE_NT plugin on a remote Win2000 server and can collect
memory, cpu, file system, etc.. However looking at the various plugins
for sql, it seems like I won't be able to monitor and report on SQL 2000
database availability, db and transaction log size, process information
etc. I know the net-sql plugin exists but I'm uncertain this will
provide the required information as mentioned above. Does anyone have
suggestions how to accomplish this with Nagios?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Message-ID: <200608091324478.SM02916@ford>

How hard is it to upgrade Nagios from version 2.0b3 to 2.5 (or any other
version for that matter). I am only using the basic SNMP checks such as
check_disk, check_cpu, and ping. That is all I need at the moment. Is the
upgrade just execute an RPM and possible restore of config files?

 

Thanks;

Haha! Amazing :)

You made -exactly- the same mistake I made when I began with Nagios...

I provide some details on the various ways of talking to monitored  
hosts on my website. Look on http://www.kilala.nl/Sysadmin and search  
for "Nagios: talking to clients" in the menu bar on the left...

Basically, you don't -have- to go with NRPE... there's a few other  
options as well. If you do decide to go with NRPE though, you're  
going to have to install the NRPE software on each of your clients.  
The main Nagios documentation provides details on the installation  
and configuration of NRPE.

Cheers!

The NRPE daemon must run on the server being monitored, and the
check_nrpe plugin must be on the nagios server.

You need the check_nrpe plugin on the server doing the monitoring, and the
nagios plugins you plan on using, on the client being monitored, as well as
the nrpe server.

Another way (which is what we do) is use check_by_ssh instead of check_nrpe,
took a bit more setup, but works better for us at least.

Does anyone have a solution for reporting (via printable views - or
better, e-mail) in the 2.x version of Nagios. I'm really needing the
availability report sent at a specific interval...

Ouch. I don not think you refer to this host as http:/// but
http:/// in your web browser. That would render the test
illegal.

But by all means add the proper name (or IP if you so desire) into the
parameters for check_http:

 -H, --hostname=ADDRESS
    Host name argument for servers using host headers (virtual host)
    Append a port to include it in the header (eg: example.com:5000)

You need to check wether or not hostheaders are required in your webserver
setup. My bet is you need to specify them and can 't do without them.

If you know which URL to request to get the report you want: Simply wget
it and write a small script to tuck it in a nice email message.

The url for the avail report is something like this (may help ya). You will
have to break up the url to build the correct url for what your trying to
do.

You may create 3 , daily, weekly and  monthly then have a central management
page update the report for folks to see.

How'd you get the URL? I thought that seemed like a simple enough idea
but then quickly realized that you just get a button to create the
report - once its built the URL doesn't appear in the address bar,
presumably because its a temporary page (??). I would definitely like
a weekly and monthly report - but I'd also like to pick and choose the
options I want as well (presumed state, for instance).

Run your desired report then right-click in the frame with the report
and select 'Properties' or 'This Frame->View Frame Info' depending on
your browser. The 'Address' you want will be displayed in the window.

Couldn't do it exactly that way, but in IE I can go to the report
page, right click and choose properties - then copy the URL.

Anyone want to volunteer to help me create the script? I need to wget
the URL with authentication, attach the page to an e-mail, get rid of
the page...doesn't sound that difficult but perhaps there's a way
better than some silly shell script I'd throw together.

Subject: dhcp plugin
Message-ID: <20060809223151.9511D4F4045@desire.netways.de>

Hi list,



seems like nothing is going to work today. I can't seem to post
 to the list through e-mail. oh well on to the stuff:



I have sucesufly been able to get nagios (2.5) up and running to
 monitor our network but i am having some problems with plugins.
 Target hardware is an xserve running mac os x 10.4.6. I used darwin
 ports to install nagios according to here



I have not been able to get a dhcp plugin to work unfortunately.



The dhcp plugin that comes with nagios (check_dhcp) when run (as
 root) from the command line reports 

 Error: can't get MAC address for this architecture. 



I did an install form source on a clean machine (with out darwin
 ports) with the same results. I took a look at the make file to
 figure out if there was a way of setting the architecture to some
 kind of bsd style unix but that did not yield any thing useful.



So i got on nagios exchange and found a perl version, check_dhcp.pl
 This one complained that if could not find a module for IO::Interface.
 Got IO:interface of of cpan, built and installed that, ran again
 and more errors:



Can't load '/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/auto/IO/In
terface/Interface.bundle' for module IO::Interface: dlopen(/opt/local/lib
/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/auto/IO/Interface/Interface.bundle,
 1): Symbol not found: _PL_curpad

Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/auto/
IO/Interface/Interface.bundle

Expected in: dynamic lookup

at ./check_dhcp.pl line 30

Compilation failed in require at ./check_dhcp.pl line 30.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_dhcp.pl line 30.



tried on a fresh system with source only and the same results. I
 have been able to install other perl modules to get a plugin to
 work to check our raids.  At this point I am some what at a loss.
  We have 4 different dhcp server and i would like to monitor the
 as they have failed in the past. They are mac boxes so i could
 use check_by_ssh and see if the machine *thinks* dhcp is running
 but that is not as reliable as i would hope for.

Subject: nagios.cmd write order (cronological?)
Message-ID: <1155163581.1856.18.camel@localhost>

Hi,

Nagios 2.5, SuSE9.3.
Syslog-ng 1.6.8.

I am configuring some passive checks to be transported by syslog-ng.

So i've configured syslog to write directly to nagios.cmd. Everything
working fine, but as we are receiving check results from diferent
distributed nagios servers, I wonder if whether or not msgs written at
nagios.cmd has to be cronological. I mean, if some distributed server
lost the synchronization with ntp, and the epoch time of one msg gets
written to the nagios pipe with a timestamp lower than the one before
that, will Nagios drop the delayed check result? 

Thanks for any comments on this matter.

Marcel

None of those checks use SNMP... but that's beside the point.

You should be able to just upgrade your RPMs and restart.

In it's most simplistic form. Error checking, safety is up to you. I
can't think of a more direct way to do it off the top of my head. --

Sounds like you need to read the NRPE docs.  Grab the tarfile or install
the package (whichever is appropriate for your system) and read 'em.
They'll tell you everything you need to know.

Timestamps are important, but the order isn't.

Subject: PerfParse
Message-ID: 

Hello all:

 

Has anyone been able to get PerfParse and Nagios 2.5 working correctly?
I have tried many options but it just does not seem to work.  I have
tried:

 

1)       having nagios printf to a log file then externally have
perfparse-log2mysql process, always complains about a file position
marker but the docs do not discuss this

2)       have nagios fire perfparse-log2mysql on a per-event basis
without the intermediate log file, this seems to work with no error but
NO DATA gets stuffed to perfparse database.

 

The perfparse documentation is a bit weak, there is no comprehensive "do
this" step by step.  There is not even detailed documentation on all the
various config file options that I can find.  I am running nagios 2.5 on
CentOS 4.3.

 

Thanks!

 

/Chris

That should do it. Make sure you don't have multiple nagios processes
running. Post config sections if you need further help.

~12 minute delay to notification --
    max_check_attempts             4
    retry_check_interval           3

Ok, an update to this.  I am now getting data stuffed to perfparse
database, here are the performance data processing commands in
misccommands.cfg: that are working:

 

# 'process-service-perfdata' command definition

define command {

   command_name   process-service-perfdata

Here are the relevant nagios.cfg entries:

 

process_performance_data=1

host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata

service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

 

#all other perfdata entries are commented out, perf data going directly

#service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=

 

Excellent tool, but the docs are pretty weak, I can send more info if
anyone else is having problems.

Host down notifications will normally go out immediately, and there 
are several very good reasons for this (most of which were explained 
in earlier responses).  This is not configurable, except for the number
of times Nagios will check (in rapid succession, ignoring any

Does anyone have a solution for reporting (via printable views - or
better, e-mail) in the 2.x version of Nagios. I'm really needing the
availability report sent at a specific interval...

Guys if you want to do some reporting in Nagios, I already wrote a perl
script to generate reports

If it doesn't suit your exact purpose, you can modify it a little bit :-)

You'll want to go all the way through the report generation process in
your browswer _then_ grab the URL for the page with the actual report.
This looks like you're giving wget the URL for the start of the report
process.

are there more than 1 site? If so the IP will ignore the virtual hosts

I've downloaded this plugin! Problem is, as I understand it, its not

certainly like to use it though - and if you can provide me with some
help that would be "most excellent"!

 Before I read that somewhere, I had tried to implement it. Clicking
on the link I added to the menu I would only get a bar and the
following errors in Apache logs for that virtual site:

Message-ID: 

Newest version of nagios, being 2.5 or the unreleased 3.0 version?

I'm running 2.4 with all the standard CGI's which is what it was built to
work with.  It uses the CGI's standard reporting features, and should work
as-is unless the CGI's have changed dramatically between Nagios 2.4 and
2.5.  If you are using 3.0 then I wish you the best of luck but can't
provide any help.

This reporter is meant to be run from the command prompt, say from cron,
and you need to edit the appropriate configuration variables (as documented
in the file).

Cheers

2.4 - but I was confused about which plugin you were referring to...

My problem with your plugin is that I just get an empty e-mail, which
I'm forwarding here (less my company's warnings of confidentiality and
such).

I'm getting an empty e-mail as well. The first version of the plugin
works for me in Nagios 2.4. It dumps the CSS into the e-mail, which you
can easily then download the e-mail as a file and view it with your
favorite HTML viewer. I'm going through the script now trying to see
what's going on, but I'm far from a Perl person.

Message-ID: 

Hmm okay. Looks like a problem with the MIME encoding.  What mail reader
are you using?

If you re-run the perl script with the --debug=2 flags then it may show you
what the error is.

If there are no errors visible, then your email reader may have a problem
with the MIME inline .

Try commenting out lines 326, 237 and 238 which are the second part of the
MIME attatchment. The lines should look like

326   $smtp->datasend("--boundary\n");
327   $smtp->datasend("Content-type: text/plain\n");
328   $smtp->datasend("Please read the attatchment\n");

Make sure you only remove those lines.

If that doesn't work, then please mail me (directly) the script output, and
attatch the file /tmp/nagios-report-htmlout.html

Cheers
Rob Moss.

Hi Rob,

I'm using both Squirrelmail webmail, and Thunderbird 1.5 with the same
results. No errors are displaying with debug=2 and the output file
completely empty. I know permissions are ok, and the file is actually
created, but nothing is inserted into it.

Do you still want me to attach the script output directly?

Max

Subject: Scalable Configuration Strategies?
Message-ID: <44DB3F71.8020601@derf.nl>

Hi,

My colleague and I are in the process of giving our bloated, 
all-in-one-file Nagios configuration a re-haul. It was getting unwieldy 
and error prone searching through the config file to add/modify hosts 
and services. So I am emailing the list to get opinions and see what 
other people do in their environments.

Initial Idea:
-------------

We have a multi-department Nagios server, eg. Network Admins, Windows 
Admins and Unix Admins all use the same server. Currently every 
department has their own file, eg. unix-hosts.cfg, network-elements.cfg, 
etc. containing host definitions, hostgroups, service definitions all in 
one file.

So we have decided to try out the "cfg_dir" statement in nagios.cfg as 
the basis for our new configuration.  Our initial layout could be:

/etc/nagios - The main config files eg. nagios.cfg, resource.cfg, 
contacts.cfg, timeperiods.cfg, template.cfg. These files would only be 
editable by the system administrator of the Nagios box.

/etc/nagios/unix-admin - Within here would be the config files for each 
department. The directory and the files/dirs therein would be writeable 
by the "unix-admin" group. We are thinking of organising it like:

/etc/nagios/unix-admin/checkcommands.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/contactgroups.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hostgroups.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host1.example.com.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host2.example.com.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host3.example.com.cfg
....

The other departments would have a similar tree structure and 
permissions allowing them to modify their configurations.

Potential Issues:
-----------------

The main problem is what to do with common services; do we create 
(Option 1) a, for example, ssh.cfg that lists all the hosts (or host 
groups) that use SSH? Or (Option 2) do we add the SSH check into each 
hosts config file seperately?

Option 1 pro - Easy to add new common service.
Option 1 cons - Must know in advance which services are common so as to 
edit the correct file (either hostXX.example.com.cfg or ssh.cfg) config. 
Will not always be clear. There are always exceptions.

Option 2 pro - Simple to configure, consistent.
Option 2 cons - Mass adding a service to many hosts will require 
scripting or much time.

I am inclined to go with option 2 for simplicity's sake.

Any comments or improvements or just what works for you will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Fred.

Shouldn't make any difference. Your browser still has to request a very
specific URL and will display that URL to you if you ask it. I've tested
it with I.E. and Firefox and it works as I expected.

I was getting that error for quite some time, tried everything in the  
book to fix it, with no luck. In the end it turned out that SELinux  
was enabled. Disabling it solved the problem. The file I had to edit  
to turn off SELinux was /etc/selinux/config. My understanding is that  
it is also possible to leave it on and just add some rules to allow  
access, but I didn't get into that.

Okay, found the problem.

Sorry guys, in my haste to bash out a version without the CSS embedding
code, i made a schoolboy error.  This has now been fixed.

You can fix the error by moving line 91 to line 77 (outside of the if
statement)
The line is "$mailbody = http_request($reporturl);" which fetches the
report.

I have uploaded a new verison to the website, version 1.3.1
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/AddOn_Projects.22.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=640

My problem with your plugin is that I just get an empty e-mail, which
I'm forwarding here (less my company's warnings of confidentiality and
such).

Subject: Service definition host_name parameter logic?
Message-ID: 

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd drop a line to the list and inquire about if there was any 
plan to extend the logic in the host_name parameter of a service 
definition to be able to exclude individual hosts or host groups.

I've stumbled across a situation where that would be useful.  (e.g. 
host_name *,not SERVER1, not SERVER2)

What I've done in the meantime is just disabled active service checks for 
that service on that particular host.

Thanks =)

You can do this currently if you enable regexp matching in your Nagios
config.

Subject: Service definition host_name parameter logic?
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: 

I'm not having much luck with negative lookahead assertions using regexp 
with my service object definitions... could you provide an example?

I am trying something like:

host_name ^(?!(HOST1|HOST2)).*$

Thanks =)

You can do this currently if you enable regexp matching in your Nagios
config.

Message-ID: <8a547c840608101124w32e44e71u9184c31c47f2dfcc@mail.gmail.com>

Not sure if forced checks get into a whacky stage or what, but I've reloaded
and restarted nagios with no luck

latest
[08-10-2006 11:16:40] SERVICE ALERT:
host.domaint;Check_Running_Procs;OK;SOFT;2;Processes

[08-10-2006 11:06:36] EXTERNAL COMMAND:
SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;snort;Check_Running_Procs;1155233195

So it's been over 10 minutes and I don't see my forced check taking place.
I'm testing some service restart commands, and thus go in, stop a service on
the test host then force the check, so I can watch what it's doing and
verify that nagios restarted the service correctly.

But Nagios does not want to perform my check and when I look at scheduling
queue it's there with a recent timestamp but it has not checked it.

snort
Check_Running_Procs08-10-2006
11:21:3608-10-2006 11:26:36ENABLED


So what could be happening, I have made no changes and yesterday it allowed
3 good tests before it just stopped appearing to run

Thanks

I have seen this issue as well.  The first time I recall seeing it was
with 2.4.  I believe I've seen it with 2.5, but I can't remember for
sure.  I can't really reproduce it.  I believe I've gotten around it by
removing the check, restarting nagios, then adding it again sometime
later.  But I could be mistaken.

Thanks John, I know Google and do make use of it. Before posting I try
doing as much research as possible, and use the mailing list as my last

an updated plugin available to monitor and report on specifics to SQL.

pepsi.com eh :) Cool beans, in fact I was just notified I won a motorola
phone from pepsi , selected the slvr :) Cool stuff.

Back to Nagios:

Yes I removed the check, reloaded and then added it back and it seemed to
clear up, but this probably needs a bit of investigation to see what hangs,
what is getting stuck since everything else seem to still work.

Thanks for the response Mark

By observation, it shows that timestamp and arrival (written) order does
matter! Does anyone else knows anything about concurrent writes to
nagios.cmd? Syslog-ng and nsca are writing to nagios.cmd pipe, but nsca
is configured to append mode.

Ganesh,

Please don't take this the wrong way, but considering this e-mail and  
your last I think that it's time for you to read the Nagios  
documentation... Front to back. Just so you get a clear picture of  
how everything works. Because right now it doesn't seem that you do.

Cheers and good luck!


Thomas

You have two issues.  One is that you're defining the service check
incorrectly.  You probably want to have a chack_command of
check_nt!1248, and a command_line of $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS -p
$ARG1$ -v check-nt (I'm guessing -- what you're using now is definitely
wrong, though).

Your second problem is probably that you're not including the file where
you defined that command when you start Nagios.

Are you sure about that? My reading of commands.c (ver 2.3) is that the
timestamp (entry_time) is used for logging/debugging purposes only. This
is in line with my past experience.

Not really but... I'm surprised that using append mode for nsca works.
That was originally used because the external command file used to be a
real file, not a pipe. Since Netsaint 0.0.7 that functionality shouldn't
be used for Nagios' external command functions. Could it be that your
submissions to nagios.cmd are clobbering each other? Are they all atomic
writes under the max pipe size for your OS (~512 bytes)?

No, not sure. Haven't read any nagios source code to confirm this. Just
watching the second destination configured on syslog-ng and nagios.log
entries, i've noticed that some entries never gets to nagios.log. Was
just guessing about. And my past experience is just about one year
administrating Nagios.

Well, here i can confirm! :) When using nsca in "open pipe for writing"
mode instead of "open pipe for append" mode, and when starting syslog-ng
with the nagios.cmd as a destination, i've ended up with thousands of
staled results, because syslog-ng opens (locking) the pipe not allowing
nsca to write on it.

here is nsca.cfg's snippet:
********************************
# APPEND TO FILE OPTION
# This option determines whether or not the nsca daemon will
# will open the external command file for writing or appending.
# This option should almost *always* be set to 0!
# Values: 0 = open file for writing, 1 = open file for appending

append_to_file=1
*********************************

and syslog-ng's:
*********************************
destination d_nagios {
        pipe ("/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd" template("$MSGONLY\n") template_escape(no));
        file ("/tmp/test.log" template("$MSGONLY\n") template_escape(no));
};
*********************************

About writing to nagios pipe, i am not sure if all writes are under the
max pipe size, but i am sure they're all atomic, as syslog-ng and nsca
is.

Here is a example of one of the bigger lines that syslog-ng writes to
nagios.cmd:
[10/08/2006 18:30:12]  PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;sensei20-b;Server Check;1;Monitores do servidor alarmando warning:  disk:disk=86%(/opt) disk:disk=89%(/export)

I think it's below the max pipe size for my OS, although i cannot tell
for sure even how big the pipe is.

TIA.

If you do not mind loading a plugin onto your windows Host, NC_Net (or other

NC_NEt also allows you to querry WMI and run scripts so that may help.
NC_NEt is on Sourceforege http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

Subject: Nagios Plugins using Net::SSH::Perl
Message-ID: <44DBC6E0.3000903@web-ster.com>

I wrote a script that uses Net::SSH::Perl to login to our router and
check some stats. When I run it as root the script works perfectly,
if I run it as the nagios user it runs fine. When nagios runs it I
get an error that /root/.ssh isn't writable which as the nagios user
it's not. For some reason running Net::SSH:Perl scripts under the
nagios user environment confuses the script into thinking it's
running as root.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there a known work around?

Sounds like the environment is not being set correctly in your script.
This is a wild guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if the HOME variable
is being carried over from the user who started Nagios (which is most
likely root).

Subject: Scheduling Downtime & more
Message-ID: <20060811002944.DA8974F4045@desire.netways.de>

Hello,



I am having some issues with scheduling downtime via the web interface.
 I have enabled it in the nagios.cfg file and gave my 'nagios' user
 all the permissions in the cgi.cfg file, but I still get the following
 message:



Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.



I am not sure why I am not authorized as I gave myself permissions
 to do this. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.



Secondly, I would like to substitute the question marks in the Status
 Map with some images of routers, computers, etc.. to make it more
 appealing. I checked the docs but could not find anything dealing
 with this. Could someone please point me in the right direction?



Thank you very much,

Artyom

Does the web interface show that you are logged in?

See the hostextinfo and serviceextinfo sections of the docs.

Subject: Potential bug in availability report - custom report
	period includes outages _outside_ the report period.
Message-ID: 

Dear Folks

There may be a small bug in the availability report (avail.cgi)
distrinuted with Nagios 2.5.

Here is an example illustrating the problem.

host_down_report is basically a wrapper around avail.cgi

 perl  host_down_report -t '1.8.2006 - 3.8.2006'

                          24x7

HOST_NAME                 DOWN                            UP
                   OUTAGE

Armidale_Foo_router_PE_ 02-08-2006 01:47:29             02-08-2006
02:15:59             28m 30s

Wyong_Foo_router_PE_int 02-08-2006 01:50:49             02-08-2006
02:15:59             25m 10s

MandMandMan                  02-08-2006 10:03:47
02-08-2006 10:10:46             6m 59s

Wyong_Foo_router_PE_int 07-08-2006 10:14:36             07-08-2006
10:37:46             23m 10s

The problem is that the last entry should have been excluded by the
custom report period.

Here is the query string (set as an environment var)

show_log_entries=&host=all&t1=1154354400&t2=1154440800&rpttimeperiod=24x7&assumeinitialstates=yes&assumestateretention=yes&assumestatesduringnotrunning=yes&includesoftstates=no&initialassumedhoststate=3&initialassumedservicestate=6&backtrack=0&csvoutput

[sh1517 at acisf011 examples]$ perl -e '@_ = qw(1154354400 1154440800);
map { print localtime($_)."\n"} @_ '
Tue Aug  1 00:00:00 2006
Wed Aug  2 00:00:00 2006


Can anyone see what I am doing wrong or is this a bug ?

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

Thanks for your reply. I login when prompted for it, but it doesn't
 say anywhere that user 'nagios' is logged in.

Message-ID: 

Hi 
No it?s not a plugin problem 
It?s a permisson problem 

what is your apache user ?? 
how did you compile Nagios `?? 

run 
./configure ?prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios 
--with-nagios-grp=nagios --with-perlcache --enable-embedded-perl 
--with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include --with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib

and then 
Make all 
make install 
make install-base 
make install-cgis
make install-html
make install-config 
make install-init 
make install-commandmode

and then create a
htpasswd2 ?c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

if you run in trouble try with a chmod -R 770 to /usr/local/nagios/sbin
did you restart your server / apache ??


hope it helps a little bit more /Jo

Good question, good thinking.

I think you are on the right track with the separate files/directories,
however if you have over 1,000 servers i think there may be other overheads
involved in parsing 1,000 or more individual files on startup, but that can
be checked later.

I would go for individual host definitions per host including all of the
services that it runs, that way you can easily script something to write
out config files per server from a data source such as CSV. For example:

host,servce1,service2,serviceN...
host1.example.com,ssh,ping,http,https,someservice,someotherservice

Which writes out a config like

-- start --
define host {
      use tmpl_host
      host_name host1.example.com
      alias Some Server
      address 1.1.1.1
      hostgroups foobar
      contact_groups admins
}
define service {
      use tmpl_check_ssh
      service_description SSH Checks
      check_command check_ssh
      host_name host1.example.com
      contact_groups admins
}
.... rest of services ...
-- end --

Maybe that would work?

I'm looking at a similar solution to monitor 9,000 or so Blade servers..
fun times!

Cheers

Subject:    [Nagios-users] Scalable Configuration Strategies?

Hi,

My colleague and I are in the process of giving our bloated,
all-in-one-file Nagios configuration a re-haul. It was getting unwieldy
and error prone searching through the config file to add/modify hosts
and services. So I am emailing the list to get opinions and see what
other people do in their environments.

Initial Idea:
-------------

We have a multi-department Nagios server, eg. Network Admins, Windows
Admins and Unix Admins all use the same server. Currently every
department has their own file, eg. unix-hosts.cfg, network-elements.cfg,
etc. containing host definitions, hostgroups, service definitions all in
one file.

So we have decided to try out the "cfg_dir" statement in nagios.cfg as
the basis for our new configuration.  Our initial layout could be:

/etc/nagios - The main config files eg. nagios.cfg, resource.cfg,
contacts.cfg, timeperiods.cfg, template.cfg. These files would only be
editable by the system administrator of the Nagios box.

/etc/nagios/unix-admin - Within here would be the config files for each
department. The directory and the files/dirs therein would be writeable
by the "unix-admin" group. We are thinking of organising it like:

/etc/nagios/unix-admin/checkcommands.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/contactgroups.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hostgroups.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host1.example.com.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host2.example.com.cfg
/etc/nagios/unix-admin/hosts/host3.example.com.cfg
.....

The other departments would have a similar tree structure and
permissions allowing them to modify their configurations.

Potential Issues:
-----------------

The main problem is what to do with common services; do we create
(Option 1) a, for example, ssh.cfg that lists all the hosts (or host
groups) that use SSH? Or (Option 2) do we add the SSH check into each
hosts config file seperately?

Option 1 pro - Easy to add new common service.
Option 1 cons - Must know in advance which services are common so as to
edit the correct file (either hostXX.example.com.cfg or ssh.cfg) config.
Will not always be clear. There are always exceptions.

Option 2 pro - Simple to configure, consistent.
Option 2 cons - Mass adding a service to many hosts will require
scripting or much time.

I am inclined to go with option 2 for simplicity's sake.

Any comments or improvements or just what works for you will be
appreciated!

Thanks,

Fred.

Subject: Definition of downtime
Message-ID: <20060811101119.GQ26805@cat.ourshack.com>

I've just installed Nagios (first time re-using it in a year or so) and
a real event occurred; I'm trying to work out the timings.

It looks like the availability report calculates "downtime" as the time
between the first hard failure and the first success, whereas I'd define
it as the time between the first soft failure that resulted in hard
failure, and first success ... indeed, as this was a router going down,
I'd say that downtime was the time between the first soft failure of the
child service, and the first success of the parent host.

Is this all explained or discussed somewhere?

In more detail; I have an unreliable router in front of a host, and a
number of services on the host. A host service check soft failed at time
t, and was then rechecked repeatedly until a hard failure was imminent
at time t+18. At t+19 the router was checked, and produced a soft
failure, and these repeated until t+38, where a hard failure was
declared for both; router DOWN and host UNREACHABLE. Eventually a check
succeeded at time t+n.

The availability report for these machines now shows outage of (t+38 to
t+n); but in this case I think it should be (t+1 to t+n); or at least
(t+19 to t+n). Can someone help me figure out why Nagios prefers the
more conservative definition?

Related to this, I'd like to know the times of the last successful
tests, but I can't find that for historical events, only for current
ones (I'm on Debian, using the nagios-text package, if that helps).
Where should I be looking; or should I be using a different backend?

Hi!

I have tried with snapshot: nagios-plugins-HEAD-200608092352

What can I tell you, I get a different error instead :D

Here is nagios:

Performance Data: /mnt/storage/ftp-storage=0MB;;;

Here is the df:

The inodes for this drive are also incorrect actually, but the MB amounts 
are correct:

Status Information: DISK OK - free space: / 3270 MB (70% inode=-1000%):

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <4e0e33ee0608110610t3c435607sc1eb06faf725a607@mail.gmail.com>

Hi list,
I'm looking to gather some of your experience in implementing your network &
system monitoring infrastructure. I'm not interrested in technical bits and
parts (I know Nagios in and out now) but more in the general methodology you
have been using, project preparation/plans and so on ...
Of course scope of this questions is not purely related to nagios but has a
wider spectrum.

Thanks for any info,
Seb.

Subject: Nagios not populating database table
Message-ID: <9CC17C5066C52A47A75739415175642C066FC373@EVS1.acu-london.local>

Hi All,

 

I installed Nagios version 1.3 on my Debian system:

 

1.	It installed fine and is running fine
2.	It was installed with Nagios-pgsql support
3.	I made the required changes in the resource.cfg and cfi-cfg
files to point to my database
4.	The database is being populated but some tables are not
5.	I granted the Nagios user all privileges on all tables
6.	The problem is that it is not writing data to the following
tables

	a.	Hostdowntime
	b.	Servicedowntime

7.	I had a look in the apache error.log, postgresql.log and
Nagios.log and cannot see any attempt to try and write to these specific
tables
8.	The change log only mentions a bug fix in the postgreslq code,
but it is not clear 

 

What is going on?

 

~Werner

Hi Sebastian,

Let me tell you.... There is so much stuff to keep in mind, I could  
talk for hours with you :)

What you're asking me about is what I'm doing right now: building a  
completely new Nagios environment within a large organisation.

Unfortunately:
* The organisation is a huge multinational
* The multinational's higher management is quite inflexible
* The environment that needs to be monitored is far from homogenous  
and standardized

Joy \o/

To sum it up very shortly, such a project requires:
* A project proposal.
You need to convince your management that they are in trouble if you  
don't build a proper monitoring environment and that they will need  
to spend money in the course of the project.

* A plan.
Grand projects, require a solid planning. So start thinking of how  
you're going to tackle every of the following steps. How long it'll  
take. Who'll need to do it.

* A requirements document.
Once the project has been accepted, make documents describing what  
your management expects from you. You will need to clearly define the  
expected outcome of the project since this document will be used at  
the end to determine how successful you were.

A separate requirements doc should cover technical aspects: what do  
you want to monitor? how? why? Before you even start working on the  
project, determine what you and your colleagues (and your customers!)  
would like to be able to do with the final product.

* A  design.
Cover your complete infrastructure, your servers, your clients, your  
configuration... Everything :)

* Resource acquisition
You'll need people, hardware, time, network, software... Stuff like  
that. Most of the stuff costs a lot of money, so you'll have to go  
through the proper channels to get these.

* Only then can you start the "real work".

Now... I've gone over this -very- quickly and there's much more to  
tell! I actually plan to write an article about all of this, to  
submit to ;Login: Magazine.

Two aspects of the list are covered by articles I've written in the  
past: making a plan and writing a solid proposal. Both can be found  
on my website, in the Sysadmin section.

Cheers!


Thomas

Subject: ocsp slows nagios a great deal
Message-ID: <20060811143831.GD4397@solar.uchicago.edu>

dear nagios users,

I'm in the process of trying to set up a distributed nagios
environment monitoring about 9,000 services on 2,500 hosts.
i'm using Sunfire V210 servers running Solaris 10.

i've found that the distributed servers which monitor the active
services can run about 1700 checks every 5 minutes if ocsp isn't
enabled, but once I enable ocsp, the number of active checks I can do
goes WAY down. here's a breakdown:

- ocsp disabled: 1700 checks / 5 min.

- ocsp command set to /bin/true: 1200 checks / 5 min.

- ocsp command set to a perl program that forks, then pipes output to
  send_nsca: 800 checks / 5 min. 

- ocsp command set to a shell program that pipes output to
  send_nsca: 500 checks / 5 min.

What's the deal? I've followed the instructions in the "performance
tuning" place in the manual, but nothing seems to help much, and I
don't know what else to check. Resources on the machines are not being
fully utilized.... there's about 30% free cpu at any given time, and
plenty of RAM (only 500 MB used of 2 GB). Any help would be much
appreciated!

Solaris 10 is fully patched with recommended updates from last week.
I'm running Nagios 2.5 and it's configured like this:

        --with-perlcache \
        --enable-embedded-perl \
        --enable-nanosleep \
        --with-gd-inc=$GD_INC_PATH \
        --with-gd-lib=$GD_LIB_PATH



Thanks, 
Loren

Dude, this is the first e-mail with your name on it that I see  
passing through this mailing list.

Also: it's an open source project with a small development team. Of  
course you can't expect "great" tech support! Naturally, no  
disrespect to the Dev Team. They're doing what they can :)

As with most open source projects most of the support is community- 
based. Users helping users... If you want "real" Nagios support, hire  
one of the Nagios consulting agencies.

Regards,


Thomas

Yeah, that may become an issue but I will run some tests to see how it 
will go. I think when we have 1000 servers/network elements, we will 
have to get another Nagios server as the CPU usage from running all the 
checks is already around 40% (with ~200 hosts and ~650 checks).

We actually tried that idea but there are many exceptions (eg. community 
names, different proc count thresholds, etc) and we had to start putting 
parameters in the text file and it soon looked uglier and harder to edit 
than the current Nagios config. But having it as a CSV and editing it in 
a spreadsheet program might be better...

What I did do was make an "add_nagios_host.pl" script to quickly add a 
host with common services configured. Then you would edit the config to 
add non-standard checks.

I would like to make the whole config tree added to Subversion and then 
when someone has edited the config they would commit their changes. It 
would introduce an audit trail to figure out who broke what.

Indeed! Good luck!

Subject: NRPE Error
Message-ID: <0CA4ED2DD473424883BF20CCD45C18A3FE1D7A@mtlexchange.Duocom.local>

Hello,

 

I have been trying to get a resolution to this problem for several days.

 

I have fedora 5, Nagios 2.4 with plugins 1.4.3 and NRPE 2.0 installed. I
installed the NSClient++ on the windows 2003 server and changed the
settings in the nsc.ini file. I run the command check_nrpe command from
the command line on the nagios server and I immediately get the error
"connection refused by host". 

 

I tried the following. 

I used my computer as a test. And I was able to run the command and get
a response from my workstation, with the pnsclient and the check_nt
command

 

I think that it is either a password issue or port issue that the
windows 2003 is refusing the connection.

 

I also tried the following

I installed the pnsclient on the windows 2003 server and ran the
check_nt and it worked. 

 

The next question is which one is best to use the NSClient++ or the
pNSclient?

 

Thanks for any insight

Agreed, i cant see any previous mails before this, and the support you
get is actually pretty damn good for an opensource/free product!

Perhaps actually asking a question would of been a good start!

Have you checked the service has started on the windows server?

There are no passwords with the NRPE protocol, and if there were, you

Subject: NRPE Error
Message-ID: 

Have you checked the Windows server you are monitoring to be sure the
agent/client is responding to queries? It should log a message in the
event log.

I've had a few Windows servers where another service/application would
dynamically grab port 1248 and when the Nagios agent tried to bind to
that port it was unsuccessful. On the servers where that has happened, I
created a copy of the check_nt command and modified the port it uses.
Then, on the monitored server changed the port in the registry and
restart the Nagios agent.

Hope that helps....or at least doesn't make matters any worse...

I have used the default port 5666.

When I try to telnet to that server I get connection refused as well. 

I have checked the service and it is running.

Thanks

The next question is which one is best to use the NSClient++ or the

Subject: NRPE check_disk giving incorrect info!

The snapshot check_disk plugin has a few functions that remained after the
rewrite.  I submitted a patch recently to resolve this issue; however, I'm
not sure if it has been taken in to consideration or not.

If you check the patches portion of sourceforge, you can find the changes
which fix this problem.

I have used the default port 5666.

What port have you configured the NSClient++ to work on? Port 5666 or

I use nrpe_nt for windows

What happens when you telnet to that port on that server? connection

Have you checked the service has started on the windows server?

There are no passwords with the NRPE protocol, and if there were, you
wouldn't be getting a Connection Refused message, you would have had a

Subject:    [Nagios-users] NRPE Error

Hello,

I have been trying to get a resolution to this problem for several days.

I have fedora 5, Nagios 2.4 with plugins 1.4.3 and NRPE 2.0 installed. I
installed the NSClient++ on the windows 2003 server and changed the
settings in the nsc.ini file. I run the command check_nrpe command from
the
command line on the nagios server and I immediately get the error
"connection refused by host".

I tried the following.
I used my computer as a test. And I was able to run the command and get
a
response from my workstation, with the pnsclient and the check_nt
command

I think that it is either a password issue or port issue that the
windows
2003 is refusing the connection.

I also tried the following
I installed the pnsclient on the windows 2003 server and ran the
check_nt
and it worked.

The next question is which one is best to use the NSClient++ or the
pNSclient?

Thanks for any insight

What's the problem?  I've gone through the list archives and don't see
anything from your address, at least this month.

I tried the netstat -an and I do not see any ports open 5666.

I changed the config and set it to the IP address of the NIC card it is
using.

When I try to telnet to that server from my workstation which is a WINXP
Pro station, it still says "connection refused".

Any ideas?

Thanks

Subject: SNMP?
Message-ID: 

Good day all,

 

  I have been asked to integrate SNMP monitoring into the Nagios
application here at work. I have never worked with SNMP before and was
wondering if anyone can point me to a resource where I can learn about
SNMP and how best to integrate it with Nagios. Thanks.

To start you should research comminuty strings and MIBs.  I actually enjoy
using SNMP for monitoring.  what type of devices are trying to monitor?

So there you go.. The problem is that the service isn't listening on the
port! That's why you're getting connection refused.

I'm not sure if NSClient+++ uses port 5666, but either way, it's a problem
with the service.

Check your event log and be a windows admin for a while.. You need that
service started, so it listens on the port (5666 or whatever its configured
to) and then do the netstat -an again and make sure the port is listening

Subject:    Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE Error

I tried the netstat -an and I do not see any ports open 5666.

I changed the config and set it to the IP address of the NIC card it is
using.

When I try to telnet to that server from my workstation which is a WINXP
Pro station, it still says "connection refused".

Any ideas?

Thanks

Have you checked the config file to make sure it's listening on the
right
interface, and port?

You need to restart the service after changes to the config file are
made

Also, try this at the cmd prompt to show all open ports

netstat -an

I have used the default port 5666.

When I try to telnet to that server I get connection refused as well.

I have checked the service and it is running.

Thanks

What port have you configured the NSClient++ to work on? Port 5666 or
some
other port?

I use nrpe_nt for windows

What happens when you telnet to that port on that server? connection
refused?

Have you checked the service has started on the windows server?

There are no passwords with the NRPE protocol, and if there were, you
wouldn't be getting a Connection Refused message, you would have had a
user/password prompt

Cheers

Subject:    [Nagios-users] NRPE Error

Hello,

I have been trying to get a resolution to this problem for several days.

I have fedora 5, Nagios 2.4 with plugins 1.4.3 and NRPE 2.0 installed. I
installed the NSClient++ on the windows 2003 server and changed the
settings in the nsc.ini file. I run the command check_nrpe command from
the
command line on the nagios server and I immediately get the error
"connection refused by host".

I tried the following.
I used my computer as a test. And I was able to run the command and get
a
response from my workstation, with the pnsclient and the check_nt
command

I think that it is either a password issue or port issue that the
windows
2003 is refusing the connection.

I also tried the following
I installed the pnsclient on the windows 2003 server and ran the
check_nt
and it worked.

The next question is which one is best to use the NSClient++ or the
pNSclient?

Thanks for any insight

Subject: How do I set the notification period?
Message-ID: 

I'm interested in setting hosts.cfg notification_period so that it will not
check a certain host during a specified period ..such as 3:00AM - 3:30AM. I
have a backup running on a certain machine and so Nagios times out and pages
me. The machine is just super busy at this time and is not actually down.

I've looked around for the parameters to do this but as of yet have had no
luck in find it. I find that it's possible.. just not having luck finding
the settings/syntax for doing so.
