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.

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

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

I would recommend this book:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/esnmp2/index.html

This book helped me get started, with SNMP it is important to know how 
everything fits together. It can seem a bit complex at first but I find 
its flexibility very useful. You can then also use only one agent per 
machine for monitoring and statistics gathering, for example.

Create a custome timeperiod entry, and use that. Eg


define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name off-hours
        alias           Odd hours
        monday          00:00-06:59
        monday          17:01-24:00
        tuesday         00:00-06:59
        tuesday         17:01-24:00
        }

Then use the timeperiod in the host and service checks for that machine,
another possibliity would be to put the box into downtime, but I don't know
how to do that on a recurring basis.

Why does it seem to be mangled? Is this a character set issue or a local issue or something?

also, the web interface shows this normally:

CRITICAL: Only 18.85G (4%) free on \\192.168.1.138\big2

but the email alerts always come out as

CRITICAL: Only 18.88G (4%) free on 92.168.1.138ig2


I have got quite a lot of these notifications (which is good) but they 
are always mangled in the same way (which is bad).

It's not that terrible cos I still know what's going on but this 
shouldn't happen, and I'd like to resolve it.

OK, the Cisco devices will be easy.

1.  Figure out if they allow SNMP monitoring (READ ONLY).  That should be
easy, I am sure they allow SNMP monitoring.  I would set them up so that
they only can recieve SNMP read request from your Nagios Box.
EXAMPLE, in our devices, I had to activate SNMP, add the IP of the Nagios
box and the comminuty string.  With that said you will have to come up with
a community string that the devices and the Nagios box will share.  Default
is 'Public', CHANGE THAT!!!  easy to get compromised, everyone knows that.
2.  Download SNMPing http://www.sans.org/alerts/snmp/.  it's on the SANS
website, it's safe.
3.  With SNMPing you have to use the device IP and the community string.
Click Scan and hopefully your device will respond.  If no response, there
are a few things that might be stopping the check:  Network routes, firewall
rules, or the device is not setup properly.
Once you over come that we can can move on.


Hit me back.  If you want to continue.

My criteria --

	- Enough useful information is provided to answer the question
or make a good guess
	- The poster appears to have done _some_ research on their own.
	- Succinct answers are possible. I don't have time to write
novelistic answers.
	- I'm familiar with the problem or can make educated guesses
about it.
	- I have the time (in short supply lately). I almost always
verify the solution before responding.
	- Problems that are interesting to me may override the above.

Well I have gone in as a windows admin... and determined the following

I see no errors in the event log. The service starts properly. I have
even tried several different types of ports and still getting
"connection refused by host" It seems like it is not reading the port
number. 

I installed the pnsclient and it works using port 1248. I uninstalled
the pnsclient and even tried to get nrpe to use the same port still no
lick.

Any ideas?

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

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

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

Well I have found the problem.

The version of NRPE NSClient++-0.2.5i2 does not seem to work on the
system. 

I tried the version NSClient++-0.2.5h2 and this one worked. 

Odd no error messages nothing but it just would not bind to the port
5666. Now I look in the ports and I see the 5666 being used by
NSClient++


Thanks for all your help

Well I have gone in as a windows admin... and determined the following

I see no errors in the event log. The service starts properly. I have
even tried several different types of ports and still getting
"connection refused by host" It seems like it is not reading the port
number. 

I installed the pnsclient and it works using port 1248. I uninstalled
the pnsclient and even tried to get nrpe to use the same port still no
lick.

Any ideas?

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

Message-ID: <20060811173820.GB4618@solar.uchicago.edu>

Lots of people do distributed Nagios, I assume. Is ocsp the only way
to do it? I've seen a couple references to "submitting batches of
check results via nsca" but ocsp has to run a command every single
time...it doesn't seem like it has a batch mode.

How else are people submitting service checks to a master server? What
about event handler? I figure people might be utilizing that for
distributed setups, but I'm having trouble finding any docs on it.

Subject: Nagios process not running? It is running!
Message-ID: <44DCC414.8040306@googlemail.com>

I have been operating Nagios and most of it's features to monitor 70 
services for quite some time successfully but something that I want to 
fix now is a tiny thing in the top of the screen which says:

Current Network Status
Last Updated: Fri Aug 11 18:42:22 BST 2006
Updated every 90 seconds
Nagios? - www.nagios.org 
Logged in as /nagiosadmin/
Warning: Monitoring process may not be running!
Click here  for more info.

The Nagios process is running and it's showing the following details 
when clicking the link "here"

Process Information

Process Commands
It appears as though Nagios is not running, so commands are temporarily 
unavailable...

Process Status Information
Process Status: 	
  UNKNOWN  
Check Command Output:  	Nagios check command did not return any output 



The nagios check command is definitely running and the check_command is 
defined as follows in the cgi.cfg:

nagios_check_command=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_nagios 
/var/nagios/status.log 5 /usr/nagios/bin/nagios


I've run this from the command line as both root and the nagios user 
which the process runs under. The result is positive as follows:

Nagios ok: located 1 process, status log updated 11 seconds ago


So why doesn't Nagios think it works? Using I/O redirection I've 
isolated that it is indeed printed to stdout so this should just work. 
It shouldn't be complaining about "Nagios check command did not return 
any output".

ll /var/nagios/

-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 13602 Aug 11 18:40 status.sav



Although this is in the FAQ, it simply says make sure the check_command 
is done is cgi.cfg which isn't helpful to me in this situation since I 
know the command is in there and it's paths are correct.


Anybody got any ideas on this?

By the way, I just wanted to say that this led me to the solution to
my problem.  I'd been working solely with the cfg files in
/etc/nagios, and had overlooked that nagios.cfg sets
/etc/nagios-plugins as a cfg_dir, which is where I found the original
check_nrpe definition, changed the file name from check_nrpe.cfg to
check_nrpe.cfg.off, uncommented my original check_nrpe definition in
/etc/nagios/checkcommands.cfg, and it all started working as I'd
originally expected.

So thanks, everyone, for the pointers, and especially to Patrick for
the one that helped me figure out where my mistake was!

Message-ID: 

Hi All

  I posted a query on this list a week ago which no-one responded to.
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=29500609&forum_id=1873

  That was  a rephrased form of a question I asked a few weeks earlier than that
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=25535673&forum_id=1873

I'd appreciate if anyone has a minute to review those questions and
suggest how I might
either determine a resolution on my own, or rephase the issue such
that someone here can contribute a solution.

I did think at the time that I provided enough information, and I have
attempted to resolve the issue on my own.    I have read (among other
documents) http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=14&expand=false&showdesc=false
and believe I understand it.

Responses off list or on as you feel appropriate.

Thank you

OK, I've gotten no response, but I have done some more digging in the 
meantime ... here's what I've found:

I changed the notify-by-email to this:

    /usr/bin/mutt -s "test" someone at something.com &1 | tee 
-a /tmp/notice.log

And checked /tmp/notice.log:

    /root/sent: Permission denied (errno = 13)
    /root/sent: Permission denied (errno = 13)
    Could not send the message.

AH HA!

So, digging more ...

    # ps -ef e | grep nagios

    nagios   20979     1  0 12:14 ?        Ssl    0:00
    /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
    SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm SSH_CLIENT=xxxxxxxxx 2139 22
    SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/0 USER=root
    SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-WGnUfb1218/agent.1218
    PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
    MAIL=/var/mail/root PWD=/usr/local/nagios/etc HOME=/root SHLVL=2
    LOGNAME=root SSH_CONNECTION=xxxxxxxx 2139 xxxxxxx 22
    _=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios

Ummm...wait ... if this is running as user "nagios", why the heck is the 
HOME=/root, LOGNAME=root, etc?  And we dig deeper.

I see in /etc/init.d/nagios (created by the installer) that it does a 
"su - nagios" to touch (create) a log file and another file it needs, 
but then it calls the nagios binary directly as root.  I see in 
.../base/utils.c, the binary does a setuid(), but doesn't do anything to 
reset the environment, so it is just inheriting it from the calling user 
(in this case root).

So, why are other people not having problems with notifications if their 
nagios daemon is running with root's environment?  I am guessing it is 
because I am using mutt and not mail/mailx to do the notifications, and 
mutt is trying to save the outgoing e-mail (which would be bad anyway).

There are three obvious solutions for this:

1 - switch to mailx (in my case, apt-get install mailx, replace "mutt" 
with 'mailx" in the notify-by-email commands).
2 - add "set copy=no" to /etc/Muttrc to disable the e-mail copy 
feature.  I couldn't find a way to do it via the command line, and I 
*could* have put it in /root/.muttrc, except the nagios user won't be 
able to read the file, and therefore won't pick up the configuration.  
WARNING: This option affects all users systemwide, unless they 
re-override it in *their* ~/.muttrc.  In my case, there are really no 
"users" on this box, just apps and services, so it's OK for me.
3 - create a "muttrc" somewhere that nagios can reach (i.e. 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/muttrc) and add "-F /usr/local/nagios/etc/muttrc" 
to the mutt command in the notify-by-email command

I have done 1 and 3, actually.  I installed mail/mailx just because 
other apps might just assume it's there (why it wasn't originally, I'm 
not sure), and I created the /usr/local/nagios/etc/Muttrc, too.

So, why do I prefer mutt over mailx for sending mail?  Basically, just 
because I like mutt's ability to easily attach files as attachments 
without having to manually deal with uuencode and friends.

OK, with this data dump, I am back on the air and back to working on a 
strategy to configure my nagios server to monitor everything else in the 
world.  I've very interested in watching the thread by Fred Clausen develop!

Thanks,
Sam

Which makes sense if you read the printf() documentation. You are using a
character which has a special meaning in string handling environments.
Just get rid of those backslashes or escape them properly.

The issue might be that no one else has seen it or no one else has a real
clue what to tell or no one wants to spend time on it or .....

I think Marc's rules of thumb about answering applies here as pretty well.

So, just to keep anyone reading this on the same page, the question
seems to be something like "why does a host state not change from down
to unreachable when a parent node later goes down?"

I'm not sure I can anwer it, other than to give reasons why I think it
works the way it does.  When a host goes down, its parent nodes are
checked.  If they're OK, the host is marked down until it comes back up.
If not, it's marked unreachable until the parent node comes back up.

I would guess the behavior you're seeing is because Nagios is waiting
for the host to come up, and it's not taking *every* state change into
account.  This may be a bug, and it may be a feature, but it's
apparently the way it works based on your observations (which I haven't
attempted to verify).

If that's the case, and nobody here has been able to give you a helpful
response, maybe it's something to bring up on the nagios-devel list as a
bug or feature request.

I would guess that it's possibly related to state changes.  I think the
classification of down vs. unreachable only happens upon state changes.
States can be OK (up) or non-OK (down or unreachable)

The child host (down) is in a non-OK state.  When its parent goes into
non-OK (down) , the child was already non-OK (down), therefore doesn't
reclassify to a different non-OK (unreachable).

I would agreee that it seems more logical to that only the topmost branch
during an outage should be considered Down, and all child nodes to be
considered Unreachable.

Check out NACE, you can keep your host data in whatever you want, and
have it generate your configurations.

Subject: Help rephrasing my question
Message-ID: 

I agree that the parent(s) are only checked when the child changes
state. This is scalable but it does leave open this edge case. Walking
the dependency tree of a host for every check to verify that nothing
above has changed isn't elegant and having a parent's state directly
affect all its children by propagating downward sounds good but could
lead to lots of extra checks in complex, multi-parent setups. Those
checks are not parallelized at this point so you're affecting normal
operation. I'm not sure I'd consider it a bug but you might want to run
it by nagios-devel to get Ethan's opinion.

Subject: log checking plugins?
Message-ID: <610cb7a00608131931g182ec86al28fb86896a147331@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I am having a problem with log checking scripts, e.g. check_errpt for AIX
and check_logfiles-1.4.3 (great plugins BTW). However, I'm not actually
receiving any alerts to my mobile phone because these plugins only ever fail
the first time a new error message is found. However, Nagios requires that
the plugin fail three times before it raises an alert. How are other people
handling this scenario? Ideally, the alert should remain until an
administrator reviews the log and turns the alert off.

Kind regards,
Alex

You must set the max_check_attempts for these services to 1. Also,
read the manual about 'volatile' checks. Unfortunately Nagios
does not support your ideal situation of log check staying red
until manually cleared.

Message-ID: 

I've extended the original check_log script to return an error code until it sees a specific "fixed" message in the log.  I wouldn't be surprised if my code is buggy or misses some corner cases, but you're welcome to give it a shot.

It shares some of the limitations of the original check_log; for example, if the log file rotates after an error appears but before the script runs, the plugin won't catch it.

I've tried to allow for a mixture of "broken" and "fixed" messages between invocations.  Whichever comes last, wins.


Anyway, consider yourself warned that it might not suit your needs.  Also, I just noticed that there's no license on the script, so technically I'm probably violating Ethan's copyright by redistributing a hacked copy, but I'll assume that there's a license on the plugins in general that I'm not aware of.  Even the "LEGAL" document with my plugin RPM does not specify any license, just a warranty disclaimer.

check_log2 (very original name, eh?) is attached.

Hey John :)

Nice work, but you may want to call it "check_log4", since I've already  
written check_log2 and checklog3.

v2 = with state retention (kind of like yours, but it resets upon any  
new entry)
v3 = with state retention and the ability to look for two strings. one  
WARN and one CRIT.

Cheers!


Thomas

Dear Folks,

Another release of Nagios::Report (0.003) is scheduled for release shortly.

Why should you care ?

Well, if you rely on the standard (ie distributed with Nagios)
availability report, this module makes it easier to use from the CLI.

Included with the distro is example/host_down_report which demontrates
what you can do.

For example, to find all the outages for the first 3 Months of the
year, for hosts matching FOO

[sh1517 at acisf011 Nagios-Report-0.003]$

The module is waiting on a bug testers report (from the previous
version) which affected Nagios installations with US dates.

Fixing the bug was also an opportunity to add the facility that lets
you easily provide your boss with  a list of outages - this is what is
important to us, not the percentage availability figures - for all the
'State offices' last year since September.

Note that this module is a wrapper for avail.cgi and thus has the same
bugs as the normal CGI report.

Enjoy.

Yours sincerely.

Hi,

Nagios is really quite simple, what problems did you run into?
Did you skim the fine manual before your first deployment?
What do you mean "long time"? Is it auto-discovery you were looking
from? If so, I can tell you that although that's pretty, it sucks from
the point of view of security.

Thanks,

I will look into that. It's just strange that this would happen since I 
haven't tampered with the misccommands.cfg at all, I've left it all as 
it was originally.

After following your suggestion regarding prinf and checking the 
previously unchanged misccommand.cfg I'm not entirely sure what is going 
on here. The definition for email is below:


# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
    command_name    notify-by-email
    command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios  
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: 
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" 
| /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ 
is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
    }


This doesn't look bad to me, it seems to simply be using lots of Macro$ 
so I assume that the macro must be sending it something funny....

Will have to scratch my head and try to track that down.

Mike,

Thanks for the reminder. Have updated CVS with your patch, so the  
inode values should be right now.

I have removed the -U option because we're going to have a new way of  
specifying plugin output, probably for the 1.5 release.

You -did- notice that to printf "\b" is a backspace, right? Which  
would totally explain what you're seeing...

err, I think that is the notation for a backslash escaped sequence, not 
a backspace character, which is \b.

It turns out that the points at which I am getting those strange squares 
is actually replacing "\\" and "\" in \\hostname\sharename.

So I know where the problem is and what part needs fixing, but I have 
tried to recreate it on the command line but the message never comes 
through to me to fully diagnose.

eg..

echo '\\hostname\sharename' | mail -s "test" me at mydomain.com

but I haven't gotten this. Strange, that now I'm not getting messages 
from /bin/mail. Will have to look into this and get back to you.

ok, after looking at my mail server the problem was the oh so brilliant 
thunderbird client. sorted. now back to the original problem...


I've fixed the character issue in the notifications with 
\\hostname\sharename. The problem lies with the %b in the printf 
statement. I changed this to %q. Remember that the system's printf is 
superseded by the shell  built-in. Any way, the %q defines that the 
argument list is appropriately formatted for shell reuse which is 
exactly the was that it is being used in the mail pipe for this 
notification functionality.

Thanks for the help, you've given me the jolt I needed.

Hari

Subject: Question about NRPE configuration file
Message-ID: 

I am in the process of migrating from a configuration with a single
Nagios server to one with a master and a slave server.  As part of this
migration I have updated the NRPE configuration that is installed on the
clients to include both hosts as allowed_hosts for NRPE calls.  However
I noticed that at NRPE restart, the following messages are issued:

Aug 14 09:24:15 NODENAME nrpe[2592]: Unknown option specified in config
file '/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg' - Line 41 
Aug 14 09:24:15 NODENAME nrpe: nrpe startup succeeded
Aug 14 09:24:15 NODENAME nrpe[2593]: Starting up daemon
Aug 14 09:24:15 NODENAME nrpe[2593]: Warning: Daemon is configured to
accept command arguments from clients!

Line 41 of /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg is the allowed_hosts line which reads
(with context):

# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is a comma-delimited list of IP address of hosts that are allowed
# to talk to the NRPE daemon.
#
# NOTE: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP
#       address.  I would highly recommend adding entries in your
#	/etc/hosts.allow file to allow only the specified host to
connect
#	to the port you are running this daemon on.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

allowed_hosts=III.III.III.111, III.III.III.222

where III.III.III.111 and III.III.III.222 are the IP addresses of the
Nagios servers

Is the error message (from /var/log/messages) misleading ?  Or is there
an error in the configuration ?

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

I wrote an article that was published in the German Linuxmagazin about that 
topic. SNMP is great and you get all information you need. I really can 
imagine very few szenarios where NRPE actually is needed.

Subject: Problems with Nagios
Message-ID: 

I'm having a problem with Nagios which is this.  At the moment, I have a 
version of Nagios that monitors a few systems, but the screens all 
display incorrectly.  The reason for this was that I originally compiled 
without gd and all its friends.

I have now rectified the lack of the libraries and have re-compiled 
Nagios again.  It compiles fine and I stop the service, run make install 
and re-start the service.  The service starts fine - but going to the 
web page now gets a NOT FOUND for all pages.

Fortunately, I took a backup of /usr/local/nagios - so I'm at least able 
to put back the working but broken system.

Here is my configuration command line :-

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-cgiurl=/var/www
/eninet/admin.eninet.com/nagios/cgi-bin 
--with-htmurl=/var/www/eninet/admin/enin
et.com/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios 
--with-command-group=www-data --with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include 
--with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib

If anyone could advise me what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate it.

Regards
Neil

Jason,

Thanks very much; that was pretty much all I needed (although I do feel that
my ideal situation of an alert staying red until manually cleared ought to
be considered in situations such as log checking that are kind of logically
distinct from situations which really can clear themselves (e.g. CPU load
critical; disk space at 0% free etc.). Anyhow, no big deal; thanks again.

Best,
Alex

--with-cgiurl and --with-htmurl should be specified as accessed by your
browser, not the filesystem path. Probably --

--with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin --with-htmurl=/nagios

I knew it would be something to do with those - and couldn't remember 
what I'd typed the first time.

I'll give that a whirl, thanks very much.

Subject: host details time vs service details time
Message-ID: 

We have an interesting problem that might be quite simple. Listing
service-details  shows all hosts and their services and last-check 
time correctly.  Listing Host-details shows older last-check times 
(perhaps up to a month). 
If the host goes down, the "last Check" date is correct. If it comes back,
the date is correct and seems to keep that date. In other words, the 
last-checked field on the hosts-detail page retains only a state-change.

I'm using active and passive test on nagios 2.3. Here's the output from
nagios -s. Note that the Total sheduled hosts is 0.

Thanks

I have noticed an unusual occurrence using NSCA while in XINETD mode. I
noticed that connections will get "refused" on occasion. I have not
noticed this when running NSCA under DAEMON mode. I'm running NSCA 2.4.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks in advance,

Hosts are only checked when a service on the host changes state. If you
haven't had a failure on the host in a month, it's last check was a
month ago. While I don't use host checks, what you're seeing seems
normal to me based on that feature.

Try removing the space after the comma.

I would check the xinetd.conf.  Maybe your config is throttling the
connection after X attempts in Y seconds?

you need to learn iptables to open the necessary ports.


man iptables

would be a good place to start.

also, check out which ports are used by services etc using netstat. It 
will take you a lot of time to figure out, but it's too complicated and 
specific to your setup for anybody to guide you all the way through.

man netstat
man iptables

will get you started.

Read up on the 'cps' parameter for xinetd. There is a default
that you might be running afoul of.

Ok, I understood what you said... But you could help me one more time?  I
tried to put two rules in IpTables:
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s any/0 -d any/0 --dport=5666 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -s any/0 -d any/0 --dport=5666 -j ACCEPT

but I don't know if there is anything wrong... Could you help again??

Thanks...

If you want the rule to match any ip then you should just leave the -s 
any and -d any out of the line

iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp --dport=5666 -j ACCEPT

This will allow anything from anywhere to port 5666 on this host. The 
second line is not needed unless this box is a router. It's better to do 
something like

iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT

assuming your network is in the 192.168.1.1-255 range, since this would 
limit the port opening to only those machine on your network (or more 
specifically those machines in the 192.168.1.0 network).

If it causes you too much trouble, you could be forgiven for doing 
iptables -F and disable it's re-application in the init scripts 
(assuming this host is protected behind a firewall!)

The only way I'm seeing this happen is using multiple host or service
checks, with different templates.

This can't be the case and I must be missing something very easy as the
entire world must have this configured already.

What did I miss?

I need to email on warn

I need to email and page on critical

I don't think nagios can support this. I would write a shell wrapper to 
test the notification and then if warning email and if critical email 
and page.

Hello, it's ok...
But now, when I restart the iptables' service, the nagios works good... but
at the next update of Nagios the follow message looks me: CHECK_NRPE -
socket timeout after 10 seconds...
Anyone could help me again??

Thanks

I think the Nagios way is to create two contacts and have one of them
point to your email address and have notification options to
alert on warn / crit, and a second contact that only alerts on
crit that points to your pager.

Alternatively, pass both the email and pager address to your
notification command and have it decide based on severity how to
route the alert.

Okay but that's lots of secondary actions. Mucho eventhandler definitions.
Yes it;s code, yes it can be done outside, but that makes no sense. I'm
actually a bit surprised that it's not built in..

But it's simple enough, but then it is, why is it not built in? Almost every
plugin is required to provide a warning and critical, Nagios should be able
to treat them differently..

I hope you and I have overlooked something

Thanks

Sorry my reply was late it appears, okay,. i see this, however show me how
you use this with a single host or service definition?

I see how your recommending this be done (appreciate it), but I don't see
how this works unless you in fact setup 2 host or 2 service instances both
being identical except for the contact-group.
What am I missing?
Thanks

You just said it right there, actually. You are confusing
contacts and contact-groups. You would put jdoe-email and
jdoe-pager into the same contact group and assign that to the
service. You only need one host, one service, one contactgroup,
and two contacts in that group.

Subject: How to get stdout from event handlers into Nagios
	email messages?
Message-ID: <277CB7DD1E4B4C4C860484C00389C9C9540B3E@EXVS01.ex.dslextreme.net>


	Hi, I'm running Nagios 2.5 and my question is: is there any way
to capture the stdout of an event handler and get it into the email
Nagios sends out?

	Right now I'm working with check_smtp and an event handler that
runs via ssh and restarts sendmail on a system if it dies.  The check
and handler both work, and I get two email notices.  The first CRITICAL
when sendmail is found to be dead, and then a 2nd saying it's OK after
the handler fires and restarts sendmail.

	What I wanted to see was the output of the handler included at
the end of the CRITICAL notice.  The sample handler scripts seem to
include output, but how can you see that other than in a log?

	I thought about making the handler itself send email that it's
been run, but then I have to have every host able to send mail or ssh to
a host that can send mail.  That would work in this example since it's
sendmail I'm working with but my "real" checks will not be for sendmail
nor on hosts that are email enabled nor that I want to have any sort of
ssh access back into my network.

Well, its still not working.  I've tried a few invocations.  At the end 
of the ./configure run I get something that looks like :-


 Web Interface Options:
 ------------------------
                 HTML URL:  http://localhost//admin.eninet.com/nagios/
                  CGI URL: 
http://localhost//admin.eninet.com/nagios/cgi-bin/
 Traceroute (used by WAP):  /usr/sbin/traceroute
 
Ideally - I'd like to get rid of that localhost.  Is there anyway I can 
do that?

The reason for this is that we run several web sites on this server - 
and admin.eninet.com is what we enter into the browser.

Hi,

you can save the outut in a file an write a script that search the
file for new output.
Start this script before sending the mail an if there is new output
for the special service appent it to the message.

Actually, when I ran with that specific command line - of course it just 
showed localhost://nagios/cgi-bin and localhost://nagios - I install the 
result of that one - it didn't work.

Thats why I tried specifying the specific virtual host under which we 
want to run it - and thats not working either.

Is there anyway I can get rid of the localhost from the output of 
./configure?

check your SElinux config and also check that the user that the 
webserver runs as can execute the scripts in the cgi-bin

Hi Giles

> Specify your hostname in apache, not nagios.

Infact, I've just done exactly that.  I've put all the Nagios 
configuration in the virtual server stanza and removed anything from the 
global area.  Low and behold - I now have my pages back - but they're 
still not showing the colourations I should be getting.

Clicking on the statusmap.cgi page - I get an internal server error - 
whereupon it can't find libpng.so.0 - yet the file exists in 
/usr/local/lib.

So now its an Apache problem I think.  Time to go and Google again.

Is /usr/local/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf ?

What does "ldconfig -v | grep libpng" give you?

Well, now it lists out the library and the symbolic links.

Further more - the statusmap.cgi now gives me a picture.  Somethings 
still broken - but it must be one of the dependent libs - because I'm 
suffering broken images in some places.  But I think I can track down 
the rest now.  May well need to recompile everything once more now 
you've given me the pointer to fix the ld.so.conf.

Many thanks.

Neil

Look at your command{} definition for this service. As I guess I'd say
you have the warning RTA threshold set at 100. That would be a hard
threshold. Nagios doesn't compare the difference between successive
checks.

Well, for one I'd move most of these lines into a template at the top  
of the file :) That way you can decrease the length of your config  
file by at least 60%

Oh, and you're missing the hostname definition for your service check :)

Cheers!

Whatever you feel is an unacceptable or unusual RTA for your network ;)
It's something you'll learn and depends on the types of connections you
have generally. We have a lot of high latency links so we have our
warning threshold at 500ms and critical at 1000.

    It looks like your RTA threshold is set to 100 mS.  Check it in
your services.cfg file or checkcommands.cfg file.  Increase it as
appropriate (hosts external to your own LAN should have longer RTA
settings than internal LAN hosts).

It can be either packet loss % or response time (or both) depending on
your configuration, but judging from the alerts I'd say it's response
time.

Has anyone done this before?

Subject: Daily status report?
Message-ID: 

Greetings,

I have nagios 2.x installed on Solaris 10 monitoring ~100 hosts, and ~1000
services. I am collecting perfdata,

As the admin/engineer, I'm quite happy with the http interface for checking
the status of systems and knowing what needs to get fixed/looked at. I
installed/configured nagios originally for my benefit anyways, as part of a
data center "lights out" effort.

The problem:
Management saw the website (I blame myself, screensaver is my new best
friend). We all know what happens when suits get involved... yes, they want
a daily report. Apparently clicking on a link, and logging into a website is
too much work.

My first solution:
Heh, I'd snap a screen print of a custom report, and mail it. Life was good,
until I went on vacation.

My second solution:
Google, google, google. I'm surprised that I still cannot snap a txt
formatted host up/down for 'report period' (in my case 7am-5pm defined in
the cfg's) without using cacti, rrdtool, or any other add-ons.

My third solution:
I'm giving in to rrdtool (I think). It seems like a lot more work than I
want to invest, but I can perl/shell script it and crontab it, so the suits
get thier daily eye candy, and I can go back on vacation.

My questions:
- Is there a better way I haven't thought of, or found?
- Is there an EASIER way I haven't thought of, or found?
- HALP!
- Any off the cuff suggestions? Aside from screensavers.

Thanks much in advance,
-Marc

I recently reloaded the nagios process (/etc/init.d/nagios reload) and
now everything is failing. At first the checks got an error 127 and
now just "No output!". The permissions look correct to me on all the
checks but... I have no idea what the problem is.

Have a look at the mailing list archive:
http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net/msg06430.html

Should provide you with the necessary tool and information.
(at least I hope so)

Marc,

Have you looked on Nagios Exchange?  There is a project called Nagios 
Email Report that may be what you are looking for.  I haven't used it, 
so I can't make any claims on how well it works.  The link is 
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/AddOn_Projects.22.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=640

Hope that helps,

David Price

This works quite well. There was a bug last week in the 1.3.1 version,
but he sorted that out rather quickly.

What I did was create three small scripts to fire this plugin up. One
sends a daily and overnight, the other sends a weekly report, and the
last sends a monthly report.

Basically it takes the report from the web based reports tools, and
sticks it in an e-mail as HTML.

If the "suits" want a nice report for overnight, daily, weekly, and
monthly, I'd look into this.

Set it up once, link some scripts to run across cron or whatever, and
you'd be good.

Usually, 127 return code is when the plugins aren't at the same location
defined by resource.cfg 

But, this kind of incident happens after some changes made to the
configs.

Check your configuration closely.

what kind of output are you wanting exactly?

i put a tool on nagiosexchange.org called 'Snapshot' that outputs the
hostname and 'Status Info' string onto the command line, grouped by
services.

It's not great, but you can pipe the output to mailx or run the output
through another script to create a summary.

Something like this:

bash$ nagiosr --help
usage: nagiosr [args]
  --state str     report about state str (down, critical, warning or unknown)
  --yesterday     report about yesterday 
  --day str       report for day str
  --start str     report starting at str
  --end str       report ending at str
  --soft          include soft state alerts
default reporting period is for all of today
bash$ nagiosr --yesterday

Almost exactly a decade ago I coded just such a report generator
for an old network montoring package (NOCOL).  Someday I hope to
do the same for nagios.

Subject: creating global graph link,
 missing wildcard option for "service_description"
Message-ID: <2287.81.69.233.6.1155676201.squirrel@wmail.websystems.nl>

Hi,

I'm trying to create a host and service link pointing to the graph output.
For "hostextinfo" a wildcard definition works fine, creating a link for
all hosts, pointing to all graphs for the host.

-----
define hostextinfo {
       host_name       *
       notes_url      /graph/show.php?search=$HOSTNAME$
     }
-----

I don't seem to have the same option for "serviceextinfo", as
"service_description" does not allow the usage of the "*" wildcard.
Any way to accomplish this without having to define this for each service?

-----
define serviceextinfo {
       host_name      *
       service_description      *
       notes_url      /graph/show.php?search=$HOSTNAME$ - $SERVICEDESC$
}
-----

Thanx in advance for any suggestion.

This looks pretty good.

There is also a Perl module which you can use to create your own
reports from avail.cgi in a variety of formats.

The distro examples/host_down_report contains an example of a quick
and dirty but useful report derived from the module.


/usr/local/bin/host_down_report { -t   | -h ' }'

Displays host outages for the hosts matching the -h option, in the
interval defined by the timeperiod.

  for each outage in the interval, sorted in ascending order of time
down (ie when the outage occurred)
    displays the
      host_name
      time the host went down
      time the host came up
      the outage

timeperiod ::= today     | yesterday   |
               thisweek  | lastweek    |
               thismonth | lastmonth   |
               thisyear  | lastyear    |
               last12hours    | last24hours      | last7days | last31days   |
               lastdays | lasthours | lastmin(ute)?(s)?  |
               HHMM      | HH:MM       |
               DD.MM.YY  | DD.MM.YYYY  | MM/DD/YY | MM/DD/YYYY    |
               24hourtime date         |
               date1 - date2           |
               24hourtime date1 - 24hourtime date2 |
               Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec (YYYY)?


Timeperiods other than 'yesterday', 'lastweek', 'lastmonth' or
'lastyear' end now.

If the -h option is missing, select all (host) outages in the time period.
If the -t option is missing but the -h option is present, select all
matching hosts for 'thismonth'.
One or both of the -t and -h options must be used.

...

The version on CPAN & Nag exchange (0.002) works fine but has been
enhanced for the half the world that don't use Euro date formats.

Should be out in soon.

Yours sincerely.

Message-ID: <200608152240.k7FMeGoX023121@mx1.cs.umb.edu>

Hi all:

Just wondering if anybody has had any luck using the multiple command
mode of ssh. I think it is just broken, but I would like to be
convinced otherwise. I never see it executing anything but the primary
plugin, nor does it write to the file specified with -O.

E.G.

 /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H localhost -n concord -s c1:c2:c3 \
    -C 'check_disk /' -C 'check_disk /usr' -C 'check_disk /var' -O /tmp/a

reports: 

  DISK OK - free space: / 5372 MB (90% inode=98%);| /=581MB;5953;5953;98;5953

but puts nothing in /tmp/a which is writable to the nagios
users. (it's mode 777).

We needed an 8:30am daily email/pager message that gave a quick
synopsis.

So I wrote some perl to use a Nagios tool called "nagiostats" and email
the results nicely formatted.

nagiostats -m
--data=NUMHSTUP,NUMHSTDOWN,NUMHSTUNR,NUMSVCOK,NUMSVCCRIT,NUMSVCUNKN


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
        my $options =
'NUMHSTUP,NUMHSTDOWN,NUMHSTUNR,NUMSVCOK,NUMSVCCRIT,NUMSVCUNKN';
        my $command = "nagiostats -m --data=$options";

        my @result = `$command`;
        chop(@result);



So now the results are in an array $result, put the following into a
print(), or an email routine, etc to send it to the suits.


        HOSTS:
        Down:$result[1]
        UnReachable:$result[2]
        Up:$result[0]

        SERVICES:
        Critical:$result[4]
        UnReachable:$result[5]
        Up:$result[3]



I run the program at 8:30 am every day.  For us it is used by the
monitoring staff, but you could use it for suits.

You could just use shell script and 'nagiostats' with out the -m, and
GREP out the lines you want and pipe in to mail.

Rob :-)

does the -v flag to  check_smtp do what you are asking? I am not 100% clear

This is specific to the software agent in question.  If the temperature can
be queried via commandline, then Nagios can monitor it.  Most administrators
use snmp where available, or use a CLI interface when SNMP is not available.

If you think about it, this must be impossible.

Since the event handler is called at the same time as the notifications,
the output (if any) is not avaiable when the notifications are queued as
the event handler has not yet run.

The only way I can see to do this is to code an email sender into your
event handler script.

You could fudge it by creating a dummy service for the same host that
uses freshness to immediately reset to OK and has a count of 1, and then
have your event handler send a passive alert (containing the output
text) to this service.  The dummy service (which has the same contacts
as the main service) then sends out a separate alert to the contacts
with this information.  You could probably even create a generic
eventhandler wrapper script to do this.

Marc,

Have you looked on Nagios Exchange?  There is a project called Nagios
Email Report that may be what you are looking for.  I haven't used it,
so I can't make any claims on how well it works.  The link is

Hope that helps,

I saw this email and decided to give this a go, so I downloaded and ran
it, put in all the configuration as correctly as I can see including the
authentication username and password but I don't get any information and
when I click refresh I get the error pop up:

Unspecified Error

Not very helpful as far as error messages go.

Has anybody got this working?

Does anybody have any other ideas regarding checking for rogue DHCP 
servers on a network. Really there should be an option to this plugin to 
check if there is more than N offers received and also there should be 
an option to make sure that the offer is received from the correct 
server to ensure it hasn't been usurped by another dhcp server. There is 
already an option to check the address is in the right range, which I 
guess amounts to a similar thing. If this option can be present then the 
option to make sure that the address was supplied by the correct 
server/servers isn't too far a stretch.....

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried removing the space, but the message
remains.  However it is clear from testing the clients that both
configurations work anyway !  You may (all) gather that I am just
starting with distributed monitoring, so I am learning as I go.

Subject: New check script: check_nsca
Message-ID: 

I can't believe I'm the first one to think of this. o_O

NSCA is vitally important to most of our Nagios environments and  
nobody has bothered to verify that the daemon itself works properly?

At my current client we've run into many occasions where the NSCA  
daemon was running, but was not transferring message to Nagios  
itself. So while things -look- hunkydory, we were actually missing a  
lot of incoming messages (remember that Nagios just repeats the last  
status if it doesn't receive any new status updates).

The script is up for grabs on the Exchange. As the page describes, it  
needs to be run on the system running the NSCA daemon and it also  
requires the use of send_nsca.

Any comments/suggestions/bitches/moans are more than welcome :) I  
realize it's not perfect yet, but it's better than nothing.

Cheers!


Thomas

Subject: NRPE binary for HP-UX 10.20
Message-ID: <610cb7a00608160546n5d9bab09u2ac41bc0f77c28b8@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I realise this is a long shot, but does anyone out there have a precompiled
NRPE binary (any version I don't mind) for HP-UX 10.20 or know of where I
can get one from? And no, there's no ssh on this box and by the looks of it,
that'll be even harder to get to work than NRPE..

Thanks muchly,
Alex

These are _older_ versions of both NRPE and OpenSSH, but they
might be what you need.

http://nagiosplug.sf.net Developer Guidelines. While it's written with
inclusion in the standard distribution in mind it's quite useful. If
you're just writing a plugin to be used locally the most important
aspects are exiting with one line of output and the proper exit code.

Well, judging by nagiosexchange.com there are boatloads of people  
writing scripts and plugins :) I'm one of them...

The only reference I used were existing scripted plugins to sneak a  
little peek. I don't do C/C++/Perl, so I'm stuck using ksh/bash. No  
books required :)

Is there anything specific you would like to do that doesn't exist  
yet? What're you having problems with?..

Cheers,


Thomas

Either use the "snmp uptime" script from Nagios Exchange, or write it

Ow... Have you done -any- scripting before? Point is, if you know  
UNIX, you'll know 60% of what there is to know about shell  
scripting :) Cause in scripting most of the commands you'll use are  
your basic UNIX commands. All the shell script adds is logic to tie  
it all together :)

There's bunches of websites telling you all you need to know about  
shell scripting. You'll learn fairly quickly. Trust me :)

It's a useful plugin to be sure but doesn't Freshness Checking address

Of course you're completely right. But:
1) It's better to be safe than sorry. Double checking is always nice.
2) There are situations where freshness checking isn't used.

To given an example of number 2:
At my current client "they" never set up Nagios to use freshness  
checking, except in a rare few occasions (say twenty out of a  
thousand-plus service checks). I guess it was down to inexperience on  
the side of the guy who set it up... Whatev'...

But now we're in the situation where we have at least a hundred  
service checks that are completely out of whack. Not fresh at all. We  
-could- turn on freshness checking for the lot, but can you imagine  
management's panic when they see the huge amount of Criticals rolling  
in? No... We'd rather fix things gradually and use this check as a  
stopgap solution. That way we'll still notice it if NSCA borks, while  
still keeping a "clean" status screen (even if it is all one big  
lie :p).

Cheers!

In the future, please post relevant config information (such as the
notification command), nagios version, etc so people can assist you
better.

In this case it seems that you're using Nagios 2.x with the now unused
$OUTPUT$ macro from 1.x. The replacement is $SERVICEOUTPUT$. Change that
in your notification command and you should see the service output
information.

Tom.

What does your misccommands.cfg look like for this command? The clue
might b there. I have noticed that spaces with "\n" can make a
difference.

All,
 
So I don't reinvent the wheel is there a plug-in that checks links on a
page to ensure they are valid?
 
I checked the archives and source forge but don't see anything.
 
If not I'll create one
 
Thank you,

Rusch,

Take a look at WebInject (http://www.webinject.org/plugin.html).  They 
have a plugin for Nagios that I have used to test user interaction with 
a web site.  Another option would be to check the links directly with 
check_http.

Hope that helps,

David Price

Hi All:

I'm trying to figure out what logging facility nagios uses, so I can
forward
all nagios alerts via syslog to another host (syslog server).  

I tried "nagios" but that doesn't work. I see the messages logged in
/var/log/messages
 
Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

Great idea, I never though of it for some reason.  I've just added
check_tcp on port 5667 to make this test - we use NSCA for receiving
SNMP traps and messages from NagEventLog, so these are reset to 'ok' by
a freshness check rather than to 'unknown'.  Checking NSCA is alive is a
good idea.

The best way?

I'd think the 'stuffed' laptops would have the IP of the server providing
IP's. Simple MAC address -> switch port search and subsequent lockdown of
that switch port should tell you who your idiot is by listening to who is
screaming about the crappy network the loudest.

The plugin check_dhcp could be used globally on all monitored hosts in the
same fashion as check_ping. Problem there is only if the offending dhcp box
isn't monitored by nagios.

Good luck.

Subject: ndoutils configure won't find mysql include files,
 and ndo2db exiting on signal 4
Message-ID: <44E3B464.3000004@pragmeta.com>

Hi,

I've been trying to get ndoutils to work but am having some trouble. 
./configure doesn't find my mysql include files (it does find the 
library). Maybe it doesn't work with mysql 5? I've tried 
--with-mysql-inc=/usr/local, /usr/local/include, and 
/usr/local/include/mysql (the files are in here; this is on FreeBSD). It 
never finds them. I've tried with and without specifying with-mysql-lib 
and in different orders on the command line to no avail. Any ideas?

I ran out of ideas and went into configure and made it think the headers 
were there regardless of the test. Then changing source/Makefile and 
adding -I/usr/local/include to OTHERLIBS caused everything to compile 
correctly.

Anyway, I got things running, but whenever Nagios runs a check (I 
assume, it's periodic), I see this:

Aug 16 20:02:52 nagios pid 83608 (ndo2db), uid 1007: exited on signal 4
Aug 16 20:02:52 nagios nagios: ndomod: Error writing to data sink!  Some 
output may get lost.  4125 queued items to flush.
Aug 16 20:02:52 nagios pid 83608 (ndo2db), uid 1007: exited on signal 4
Aug 16 20:03:08 nagios nagios: ndomod: Successfully reconnected to data 
sink!  0 items lost, 4298 queued items to flush.
Aug 16 20:03:10 nagios pid 83669 (ndo2db), uid 1007: exited on signal 4
Aug 16 20:03:10 nagios nagios: ndomod: Error writing to data sink!  Some 
output may get lost.  4274 queued items to flush.
Aug 16 20:03:10 nagios pid 83669 (ndo2db), uid 1007: exited on signal 4
Aug 16 20:03:26 nagios nagios: ndomod: Successfully reconnected to data 
sink!  0 items lost, 4437 queued items to flush.
Aug 16 20:03:28 nagios pid 83731 (ndo2db), uid 1007: exited on signal 4

The ndo2db process doesn't quit, it must restart or something, maybe it 
can't connect to the DB? There are no messages logged about what's going 
on, and no debug/verbose mode for ndo2db. :( I think that corresponds to 
signal "ILL", but either way I'm guessing it has something to do with a 
busted mysql connection somewhere...

Hi.

I have a situation where I'd like to allow multiple groups to administer 
their own devices to monitor via a web front end.  These users won't 
have direct access to the linux host (nor would they know how to edit a 
file anyway), so it needs to be web based.

I was hoping that I could use the cfg_dir option to give each group 
their own "nagios space", but was wondering if any of the current 
web-based admin tools would be fairly easy to adapt to a scheme like that?

Or, are there any current web-based admin tools that understand separate 
users (i.e. groups) already that might just work, and I won't care about 
how the underlying config files are laid out.  :)

Thanks,
Sam

What exactly is segfaulting?

You haven't provided much info to work with..

The script uses some basic Perl modules (libwwwperl) , so if there's
anything sefaulting it's related to your local box.

Make sure that you can run the reporting CGI's and Perl works, if not, you
need to fix them.

Subject: check_http --url and --string don't work together?
Message-ID: <44E43DB2.9030800@googlemail.com>

I can't seem to use --url and --string together. Url seems to make it 
not bother checking the string.

First I test the --string works as follows:

check_http -S -H www.somedomain.com --string=' 
The Wrong Nonexistent Web Page...'

which returns as expected. This is what I want to make sure it will warn 
me if it isn't finding exactly what I expect.

CRITICAL - string not found|time=0.210894s;;;0.000000 size=6403B;;;0


But if I do

check_http -S -H www.somedomain.com --url="/some/path/" --string=' The Wrong Nonexistent Web Page...'

I get

OK - HTTP/1.1 302 Found - 0.110 second response time 
|time=0.110347s;;;0.000000 size=690B;;;0


It doesn't check the string! Instead it just says that because some page 
was directed to that everything must be ok... ie False Positive.


The bigger picture:

I am trying to do testing of an https login page and get into a website. 
This requires that I log in via ssl and supply a username and password. 
The problem is that the login page will redirect to somewhere regardless 
of the result. If the login is successful you can get the internal pages 
and if unsuccessful it redirects to another login page. So I really need 
to get --url and --string working together to check the actual html.

I know there is webinject but I'd rather stick to check_http, it's much 
more straight forward and webinject's dependencies failed to install 
yesterday so I'd rather do this than bother fixing that just to try it.


Any ideas on getting this url and string business to work together?

I thought this was because of the redirect so I went back to --help and 
found --onredirect so now when I do --onredirect=follow it works fine 
and complains about the string.

Sorted.

Subject: Trouble creating dependencies
Message-ID: <0D8095C6-A411-4551-A82D-ED6B543AF6B6@nexusproductions.com>

Hi,

I'm having trouble creating dependencies on my fairly small scale  
nagios installation....

I am monitoring our remote office, which has a DSL link and VPN  
between here and there. As its DSL and on occasion goes down I'm  
trying to get nagios to stop monitoring the fileservers over there too.

I have created my dependencies.cfg file in etc/ edited nagios.cfg so  
the dependencies file is being looked at.

As a start I'm just trying to get nagios to not look at the 'Check  
host down' service on one of the fileservers over there, so here is  
my initial dependency within dependencies.cfg

define servicedependency {
        dependent_host_name             		fileserver
        dependent_service_description  	Check Host Alive
        host_name                     			curtainroadgateway
        service_description             			Check Host Alive
        execution_failure_criteria      		c
        notification_failure_criteria   		c
}


Everything is critical at the moment because the office is empty and  
the fileservers are off, also the dsl is disconnected, yet nagios  
continues to show critical for the fileserver.

When starting up nagios there are no errors.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks

Nick

Subject: check_http can't follow redirect properly,
	no cookies!
Message-ID: <44E45098.5050700@googlemail.com>

Hi,
   I've got check_http doing a login which works fine and I'm using the 
--onredirect=follow to make sure I can fetch the secured page it's 
redirected to.

The problem is that when the page is fetched it is fetched without the 
previously supplied credentials and therefore I get a login page instead 
of the page within the secure area.

I really really need to get the page in the secure area. Does anybody 
know how to make it store and use the credentials for the redirect. It's 
obviously not using it's cookie and I've looked through the --help but 
it makes not mention of cookies...


Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi everyone.

I've faced a strange thing using nagios - not long after primary DNS has
gone down, check_ping began to return error code 139 (Return code 139 is
out of bounds). Does any one know what was going on with it?

No cookies in check_http, I'm afraid. It would be a nightmare enhance  
it to hold sessions.

If you are good with perl, look at WWW::Mechanize. This allows you to  
store cookies and interact with a website as if you were a browser.  
We use this to login to monitor a betting site and retrieve funds  
information.

Nagios will only run a host check if a service on that host (any
defined) fails. This is a good thing. You can't make the host check
dependent on the failure of a specific check on that host (unless it's
the only service on that host). If that doesn't suit your purposes try
explaining what you want to accomplish better.

that's a real pain, but I understand. Curl can actually deal with 
cookies so I may end up rustling up a quick script in bash with that, 
I've already done some cli tests with it and it works nicely, but longer 
term I think I'll have to brush up my perl (I know the very basics) and 
do something with Mechanize. I think that this will be a good 
opportunity for me to do something useful in Perl.

Thanks for the pointer.

139 is a segfault I believe. Is the output of /bin/ping changing when
your primary DNS is down? Is it segfaulting. Have you tried running the
plugin manually when this is happing to see what's going on?

You might consider using check_icmp as it doesn't rely on /bin/ping for
processing.

Hi,

Is there a setting somewhere in the config for the plugin timeouts? 
We're getting some heavy traffic on a server and its timing out the 
plugins.  "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds ".  I'd like to 
change that to 20 seconds if possible?

Hi,

You have to change the timeout of the plugins in the check command.
If the plugin is standard, the option is "-t"

And you have also to check the plugin execution timeout in the 
nagios.cfg file. But by default the value is 60 secs for services and 30 
for hosts.
So it should be enough.

Subject: nmap
Message-ID: 


Has anyone used nagios to track changes in the open ports on remote hosts?

I'm thinking that if the output of nmap changes one hour to the next that 
something ought to be investigated.

Sure it might be nothing, but might be a "OOh a root-kit! How Nice!" 
moment.

I have a dumb-as-nails Motorola SIP adapter from  certain VoIP provider.

The think act closed on all tcp/udp ports and ignores ICMP echo request.

Mercifully the thing is hardwired to the nagios machine.

Anyone how a check_arp_tables script that will raise some kinda hell if 
the arp entry vanishes?

I have been thinking about this too. You could write a quick shell 
script to do this I guess, just take hourly reading and then diff them 
and warn if the port status has changed. Problem with this is that you 
can't really get the output cos nagios plugins are constrained to one 
line. Is there a good way to still get the output other than squashing 
it into one line? Would "stuff\nmorestuff" get around this if it's not 
immediately evaluated, but evaluated on the notify command? Or perhaps 
you could just output the whole thing normally and the web interface 
will take only the first line but the mail will show all lines?

Let me know what you come up with on this as I would also be very 
interested in doing this. Perhaps if we have an ongoing rolling 
discussion we could make this pretty good. I invite everyone to throw in 
their opinions and ideas on this....

Couldn't you write a script that diffs nmap results and report "0" if
diff doesn't come back with anything and "1" otherwise? nmap could be
cronned to run hourly - or so - and the results diffed with a baseline
file resulting in the code which nagios can cat... or something.

Sorry, not a developer but this seems easy enough for someone who is,
and I'd like to have it myself. :)

Check out the WebInject Nagios plugin.  I have it setup to check several 
pages in a secure website and it handles cookies.   It could save you 
the hassle of creating your our script.

[contrib]$ ./check_nmap.py --help

check_nmap plugin for Nagios
Copyright (c) 2000 Jacob Lundqvist (jaclu at galdrion.com)
License: GPL
Version: 1.21

Usage: check_ports [-v|--debug] [-H|--host host] [-V|--version]
[-h|--help]
                   [-o|--optional port1,port2,port3 ...] [-r|--range

timeout]

Options:
 -h         = help (this screen ;-)
 -v         = debug mode, show some extra output
 -H host    = host to check (name or IP#)
 -o ports   = optional ports that can be open (one or more),
              no warning is given if optional port is closed
 -p ports   = ports that should be open (one or more)
 -r range   = port range to feed to nmap.  Example: :1024,2049,3000:7000
 -t timeout = timeout in seconds, default 10
 -V         = Version info

This plugin attempts to verify open ports on the specified host.

If all specified ports are open, OK is returned.
If any of them are closed, WARNING is returned (except for optional
ports)
If other ports are open, CRITICAL is returned

If possible, supply an IP address for the host address,
as this will bypass the DNS lookup.

Well, there you go. :) I'm new to Nagios so perhaps this too is a
stupid question, but when you configure a check, can't you use a
variable for the host in the check command line? I guess I need to go
look at my config files again....

You sure can, $HOSTADDRESS$. The recommendation was from the plugin
author but what he means is use an ip in your host{} definition's
host_address field instead of it's DNS name.

Brian you are correct it is best practice to use the $HOSTADDRESS$ in
your check commands. Not doing so would require that you would need to
write a check command specific to each host and service. I am no expert
on this and have not used the plugin in the mentioned in this thread.

But I think maybe Marc is trying to say put the IP address in the
hosts.cfg when you define a host so you do not run into an issue with
DNS. So a host should be defined like this:
define host{
        host_name       linux1.companyname.com
        hostgroups      lin-servers
        alias           Linux Server 1
        address         192.168.125.15
        check_command   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      3
        check_period    24x7
        contact_groups  localadmins
        notification_interval 120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r,f
}

Assuming linux1 is a http server I would write the check command for
this machine... well its straight out of the sample config.

# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$
        }

Again, I need to look at my configs. I'm thinking that in my host{}
definitions I have the dns name for "name" (perhaps thats the entry)
and IP for hostaddress... Definately going to have to check this out.

   The pitfall here is that if you're running redundant DHCP servers
it's possible to receive two offers.  ISC DHCPD can function in this
way.  A regular client would see the first offer, accept it, and
ignore the second one; the monitoring script would have to be aware
of the network architecture to account for that.

   One thing you could do is record the IP address(es) of your real
DHCP server(s) and if you see anything come in from *anywhere else*
raise the alarm.

thanks, looks like I'm back to the drawing board, I guess I'll just fix

that it what I previously mentioned as a good idea to implement, making 
sure that the from address matches. This could easily be supplied as a 
command line flag.

The other idea regarding the number of offers is also taken into 
account, in the same way you should be able to specify how many offers 
you should receive with another command line flag. Wish I knew C (a lot) 
better, I'd add the code and send it back... If nobody has done it by 
next year then I will re-learn C properly and write it.

good idea to have this python wrapper to nmap plugin.

I was actually thinking more of one pass for the whole network alerting 
you to what has changed. I think I will write this in bash to start off 
with since that's the fastest language to do this kind of stuff in.

I can see how this does fit in very well with the nagios way of doing 
things since the macros can be used to automate part of it, but you 
still need to specify all the ports that should be open.

I think I may give this a python plugin try when I have some spare time...

Ladies and Gents,
    Can someone please suggest a good Linux, and a good Mac client for

I would recommend firefox. Perhaps thunderbird for the alert messages.

But perhaps you think of something completely different as 'client' of
Nagios. But it would be wise to explain how you define a 'client'.

OH lol!  No NO NO.  I meant for the clients running on the hosts being 
monitored :)

I need a client for our Linux environment and our Mac environment, to 
report CPU, mem, disk, swap...  and possibly authenticate with the 
monitoring server...

Thanks

	I was hoping that the event handler ran first, and then the
notice was sent out.  Guess that's not the way it works.

	Since it's not possible I won't worry about it anymore and will
just write something that notifies me from the handler itself.

If you think about it, this must be impossible.

Since the event handler is called at the same time as the notifications,
the output (if any) is not avaiable when the notifications are queued as
the event handler has not yet run.

The only way I can see to do this is to code an email sender into your
event handler script.

You could fudge it by creating a dummy service for the same host that
uses freshness to immediately reset to OK and has a count of 1, and then
have your event handler send a passive alert (containing the output
text) to this service.  The dummy service (which has the same contacts
as the main service) then sends out a separate alert to the contacts
with this information.  You could probably even create a generic
eventhandler wrapper script to do this.

I don't follow either. Some hosts you may only want to set up a service
"PING", but you want the host to also be checked so that you get a single
HOST failure, vs a service failure if the host is down.

So setup the host with a check_command           check-host-alive line, and
then add a service for the same host

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name      hostname
        service_description             Ping
        check_command                   check-host-alive

If the service check fails, it will force the hose to do a host check, and
since well it's probably down, you should only receive a host
critical/unreachable alert.

Sorry if your not really talking this basic, then your going to have to
provide a bit more information.

You could also force the host to actually be checked like a service by
enabling active checks every x minutes (create a new host template)

No client exists that I know of nor is there really a need for one.
check_nrpe or check_by_ssh + whatever interesting plugins you want to
run on the remote machine (check_disk, check_proc, check_swap, etc, etc,
etc) is the way to go. I definitely know the plugins compile under linux
and almost certainly compile under OSX.

They are (sometimes) refered to as agents. Which make it much clearer what
way you want to go.

However these agents are as diverse as the things you want to monitor.

After all that and still a net NULL answer? Some kind of pointer would
have been useful to justify the chatter.

Message-ID: <94FE9AAAB50C92448DCF1A4B99816F6604BFA30D@GRUCLXCHGPR01.gruadmin.gru.com>

I don't mean to be off topic, but rogue DHCP servers can be easily
avoided using switches that support layer-3 ACL's to block dhcp server
replies from user ports on switches that support it (all new cisco
switches including the 2950's/3550's/37xx's and even smc,dlink,allied
telesyn support this).  A cisco feature called "dhcp snooping" also
prevents rogue dhcp servers.  Food for thought.

   The pitfall here is that if you're running redundant DHCP servers
it's possible to receive two offers.  ISC DHCPD can function in this
way.  A regular client would see the first offer, accept it, and ignore
the second one; the monitoring script would have to be aware of the
network architecture to account for that.

   One thing you could do is record the IP address(es) of your real DHCP
server(s) and if you see anything come in from *anywhere else* raise the
alarm.

SNMP will work on both and NRPE works well for Linux boxes. Not sure
about Macs but since OSX is sitting on a free bsd Kernel (I think). NRPE
might work well on OSX as well. Not sure.
There is also NSCA which I have not had a lot of luck with except when
configuring remote nagios systems to report into a central Nagios Box,
or distributed nagios implementations.

Links to NRPE and NSCA are provided at the Nagios site

We use webinject here for precisely this reason, and it works well.  It
also supports MRTG format output if you need that.

I had also written a homegrown plugin that parses the web page to pull
out session IDs from URLs and do a bit more magic, but the latest
webinject seems to do everything itself now.

All,

 

I read the manual, the archives, googled etc.

 

System:  

 

Apache2 standard Suse 9 enterprise sp3 install

 

We installed nagios 2.5 as per install instructions (BTW I've been using
nagios since netsaint days and have installed nagios dozens of times)



Apache runs as wwwrun

 

When we try to access the web interface we get the following error:

 


Access forbidden!


You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either
read-protected or not readable by the server. 

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster
 . 


Error 403


Checking the apache log file I see:

 

[Thu Aug 17 16:08:14 2006] [error] [client 10.30.150.117] (13)Permission
denied: file permissions deny server access:
/usr/local/nagios/share/index.html

 

 

The permissions on the share directory are (and all parent directories
too, ownership of parent directories change of course):

 

drwxrwxr-x   9 nagios nagios  360 2006-08-17 09:27 share  

 

permissions on the index.html file:

 

-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios nagios   658 2006-08-17 09:15 index.html

 

 

 

relevant groups:

 

nagios:!:1001:nagios,wwwrun

 

The Alias in apache for the share directory is:

 

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



    Options None

    AllowOverride AuthConfig

    #AllowOverride None

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all



 

As can be seen I have tried changing the AllowOverirde directive to no
avail

 

 

Thoughts?

 

Dan

SELinux. I don't have a specific resolution for you, but that should point 
you in the right direction.

Curiously, a search for "selinux" or "forbidden" comes up blank in the 
Nagios FAQ. This is a VERY common configuration error that I see on the 
list at least 3 times a month. Perhaps a relevant FAQ can be crafted?

Subject: BUG?  Segfault & coredump with scheduled downtime,
 downtime scheduled horked
Message-ID: 

Dear fellow Nagios users,

        Ever since downloading my first Nagios tarball (2.0rc2), and 
continuing to version 2.5, I have been noticing a big problem with 
downtimes.  It appears that if there are more than a couple of downtimes 
scheduled, Nagios will crash partway through the list.  This is a really 
big problem, for several reasons:  I've written a tool that automatically 
schedules recurring downtime.  It integrated into the Nagios web site, and 
anyone with access to schedule downtime for a host/service can schedule 
recurring downtime, and see the other recurring downtimes that have been 
scheduled by their fellow contacts.  I want to release it publicly, but I 
can't finish testing because of Nagios crashing (several downtimes a day 
== one crash per day).  On a different note, this (Nagios) was the first 
open-source tool to become widespread in our IT department.  I'd like 
Nagios to continue to gain acceptance in our group (most of whom are 
SAP/Oracle/Windows/etc.), and this problem doesn't help.

        I don't want to look like I'm barging in and saying "Fix this!", 
so I brought some stuff along with me, and I did what I could to diagnose 
the problem.  First of all, I have two core files.  When I installed 
Nagios, I used the 'install-unstripped' target, so these core files, and 
my copy of Nagios, include debugging symbols.  Here's what the backtrace 
looks like from the most recent coredump:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x00002aaaab20dd20 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x000000000042866f in hashfunc2 (
    name1=0x44e4f697 
,
    name2=0x4e202c6900000000 
,
    hashslots=1024) at utils.c:4285
#2  0x0000000000437d15 in find_service (
    host_name=0x44e4f697 
,
    svc_desc=0x4e202c6900000000 
)
    at ../common/objects.c:5016
#3  0x00000000004518cf in handle_scheduled_downtime 
(temp_downtime=0xfe6500)
    at ../common/downtime.c:311
#4  0x000000000042130e in handle_timed_event (event=0x722320) at 
events.c:1289

#6  0x000000000040eeb2 in main (argc=Variable "argc" is not available.
) at nagios.c:710
(gdb) 

        I tried to look through the code, and the coredump, and the most I 
could determine is this:  It looks like the scheduled downtime event 
struct was corrupted at some point during its life in the high-priority 
event queue (for one thing, between the time Nagios was started and the 
time it crashed, no more than 10 downtimes had ever been scheduled, yet 
the downtime ID is 81, and no downtime had ever been scheduled that was 
2072 hours long):

(gdb) frame 3
#3  0x00000000004518cf in handle_scheduled_downtime 
(temp_downtime=0xfe6500)
    at ../common/downtime.c:311
311 
svc=find_service(temp_downtime->host_name,temp_downtime->service_description);
(gdb) print *temp_downtime
$1 = {type = 0, host_name = 0x44e4f697 
,
  service_description = 0x4e202c6900000000 
, entry_time = 0, start_time = 2334111869775642625, end_time = 
0,
  fixed = 6488400, triggered_by = 0, duration = 7459712, downtime_id = 81,
  author = 0x2aaa00000000 
,
  comment = 0x44e4f6bf 
, comment_id = 0,
  is_in_effect = 0, start_flex_downtime = 0, incremented_pending_downtime 
= 1,
  next = 0x0}
(gdb) 

        So, I've got two coredumps.  When the second coredump took place, 
and before restarting Nagios, I tarballed the entire Nagios directory, 
including all log files, cache files, etc..  I don't know if the object 
cache or downtimes data files would be of any help, but I've got them in 
storage.

        So, what else?  Well, I've looked at the event log for today, and 
I did notice something weird:  My recurring downtime scheduler schedules 
the day's downtimes every day at midnight, writing commands out to the 
Nagios command socket.  The event logs record receiving 6 
SCHEDULE_SVC_DOWNTIME commands, which is correct.  The first downtime 
started correctly, and ended correctly.  However (here's the weird part), 
the other downtimes started at the exact same moment the first downtime 
ended.  Even more weird, the second, third, and fourth downtimes ended 
when they should have started.  Here's all of the downtime-related entries 
from the event log, with the time values converted into readable 
dates/times:

Nagios crashed at 2006-08-15 16:00, which happens to be the times that the 
westborod2.westboro->CPU and westborod2.westboro->CPU downtimes were 
supposed to end.

        Notice how Nagios was fine until sophiad1.nice came out of 
downtime, and suddenly everything else went into downtime!

        So, that's all I've got.  Hopefully it's enough for someone to run 
with it and figure out what's going on.  Up to now I've been running 
Nagios 2.5.  At the time this email goes out, I'll be running the version 
of Nagios in CVS (copied from the daily tarball).  I'll let you know if 
the version in CVS works, but for now I'm going to assume that it does 
not.  Hopefully this is the right place to ask for help (and to ask if 
anyone else has seen this behavior).  I'd be happy to resubmit this info 
somewhere else, if needed.  Thanks in advance for your help!

I agree. I had asked if anyone that was familiar with SELinux was
interested in submitting a FAQ entry but I don't see any bites.

There are some posts in the archive with various policies but I haven't
used SELinux enough to know what's a good policy.

Subject: sms_client: In Nagios 1.4 it works, but not in 2.5 ?
Message-ID: 

All,

At the moment I have Nagios 1.4 running and sending out sms alerts
when necessary. This works OK.

I installed Nagios 2.5 today (debian unstable) and found out the sms
alerts are not being sent anymore.

The event log in Nagios shows that the plug in times out. When I turn
on logging on the sms_client, I can see that the connection with my
sms provider is made. It makes a few choices in their menu, but after
that it shows "Waiting for message prompt" (ofcourse this is provider
specific). And then it times out. When I go back to 1.4, it works
again.

In Nagios 2.5 I am using the same misccommands.cfg as 1.4, so I'm a
bit unsure where the problem is...

Anyone experienced the same during their upgrade from 1.4 to 2.5 ?

Thanks

Hi.

Some of the macros has changed in 2.x

Check out the macros in your misccommands.cfg against the macros in 2.x

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

cheers

Thanks. I found out that $OUTPUT$ is not valid anymore. I had to
specify $SERVICEOUTPUT$ and $HOSTOUTPUT$.

In the Nagios events I can see that the message is now correct, but it
still times out

[2006-08-18 13:47:32] Warning: Contact 'dick_sms' host notification
command '/usr/bin/sms_client -q kpn:xxxxxxxxx 'RECOVERY: server is UP
(PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.22 ms)' -l 4' timed out after 30
seconds

In my misccommands.cfg:

define command{
        command_name host-notify-by-sms
        command_line /usr/bin/sms_client -q kpn:xxxxxxx
'$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ ($HOSTOUTPUT$)' -l 4
}

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Regards,
Dick

Just a long shot:

How long does it take to run sms_client? Seems like Nagios kills it
after 30 seconds, maybe you have longer notification timeout in your
Nagios-1.x config file.

This is the result of the design decision to write a C-wrapper around a 
userland binary and except the output to be in a unified, machine 
independent format.

I think we're kind of kidding ourselves suggesting that code of that 
nature isn't going to get ugly.

#IFDEF is your friend.  Talk to the Net-SNMP people.  They've mastered the 
art of platform-independent C on POSIX systems.

Right on FreeBSD it's -S, but they also have a -I of iface, as if you 
could ask your system to source traffic from an address not local to an 
source interface, or if you have multiple interfaces in the same subnet.

On NetBSD the option is "-I" ifaddr, no -S + I,

On OpenBSD it is "-I"

On Solaris it's "-i"

On Ultrix it's "-r"

On Darwin it's "-i" from FreeBSD 4.11
The option is not supported on OpenDarwin

The option is not supported on HFUX 11x

On AIX it's "-i"

On Linux its anyone's guess because there are 5000 distributions and they 
refuse to centralize source code repositories for many userland binaries, 
insisting, instead, on maintaining local patches and refusing to feed them 
patches upstream.

RHL9 is "-I"
Suse 10 is "-I"
Slackware does not support the option

Who really cares about the rest? They can maintain local patches ...that

Hi.

Sounds like an odd question, but can you define an empty hostgroup?

Here's why.

Trying to follow one of the ideas in the "Time Saving Tricks" page of 
the docs, I am adding each host to the hostgroup in the "host" 
definition ... this makes it a lot easier for me to automate the 
creating of new hosts ... problem is, if I don't pre-define the 
hostgroup, it doesn't pass the pre-flight check.

If I do try to define the hostgroup, I need to give it a hostname, which 
I don't have because it will depend on which hosts are already defined 
(and thus adding themselves to the hostgroup).

The only work around I've found is to put one host in the hostgroup as 
an anchor, but if that host ever gets removed from the monitoring, the 
pre-flight check will fail and the system won't reload the config (and 
the customers will be very confused why their changes aren't working 
anymore).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sam

Each defined hostgroup must have at least one member, either within the
hostgroup{} definition itself or in by way of the hostgroups field in
the host{} definition. I encountered the same issue with our automated
config generation and created an anchor host that was never checked and
assigned to those hostgroups that would intermittently have real hosts.
The proper solution is to track which hostgroups have active members and
then create them as needed.

I had hoped that creating a host definition with the hostgroups line 
would autocreate the hostgroup, but it gives an error on the 
pre-flight.  Is this a bug then?

Thanks,
Sam

Subject: regular expression matching.
Message-ID: <44E60A8C.3000301@trustcommerce.com>


The Nagios documentation relating to the "regular expression" matching
seems very thin to me. And not quite clear.

It appears, by example, that the only regular expressions you can use
are "*" and "?", which I would just consider wildcard matching and not
regular expressions.

Regardless, can anything else be used as far as these "regular
expressions" are concerned?

The documentation uses the examples of "host *", and I am assuming that
I can do something like "host *-edu" or "host tc-??-00".

And can these regular expressions be used everywhere in the configs? For
instance, we have an 110K escalations config file that could in theory
be reduced to just:

define serviceescalation{
        host_name                       *
        service_description             *
        first_notification              3
        last_notification               0
        contact_groups
on-duty-pagers,off-duty-pagers,operations-email
        notification_interval           30
        }

Right now we have one unique entry for every service_description on
every host_name.

So is the above correct? would that work? can anything at all be used
besides "*" and "?" for matching?

Thanks!

P.S. Are there any plans to clarify the documentation in this regards?

Message-ID: <8a547c840608181209w13d5e4dav2fd04354f2741e25@mail.gmail.com>

Anyone succesfully deploy a url transaction checker.

Something that will enter data into a field and varify the results
(user/pass etc?)

I see

Nagios-WebTransact

But having a hardtime fully grasping how to use it. Anyone have anything
currently in use that I can cheat off?

My trans check is fairly straight forward
get url
post formdata user=user, pass=pass, verify that you see "log out"
get url/logout, verify that you see "user login"

Thanks

Tory,

Try WebInject.  (http://www.webinject.org/plugin.html)  I have it setup 
to log into a website through a form and check that the logon was 
successful and that a certain string exists on the page.

This is the third time this week that I have suggested this tool for 
checking web sites.  Considering how flexible the program is, I'm 
surprised that more people are not using it.

Hope this helps,

David Price

I am also interested in hearing more about this... I had no luck trying to

Well, the above example DOES NOT WORK. I'm trying very hard to
understand why. Here are the error(s) that nagios gives:

Error: Could not find any host matching '*'
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service
escalation

I have plenty of hosts defined, so why wouldn't the regular expression
"*" match them?

Thanks.

"*" is not a valid regular expression (the docs are wrong, IIRC).

You want ".*", like:

>>         host_name                       .*

For all the really good things Nagios does, the regular expression
implementation seems to be a bit lacking.  We still struggle with why
some expressions work and others don't.

I believe I read somewhere that the examples are in error -- that if you
enable true regular expressions, you would need .* and not *.

Here are two examples of what we had to do.  Notice that there is a more
concise and powerful expression which is commented out.  They do not
work in Nagios.  In fact, if they did, we could reduce our fourteen
dependency definitions to two or three.

define servicedependency{
        dependent_host_name             HammondSGGW.niag
        dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-Chattanooga$, ^Tun.*-Midlothian$
#       dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-\(?:Chattanooga|Midlothian\)$
        host_name                       BuffaloSGGW.niag
        service_description             Niagara_SSH
        execution_failure_criteria      c
}
define servicedependency{
        dependent_host_name             WessonSGGW.niag,MESSGGW.niag,EnfieldSGGW.niag,GBLongmoreSGGW.niag,HarveySGGW.niag,ManchesterSGGW.niag,NewportSGGW.n
#       dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-10\.[125]$
        dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-Buffalo$, ^Tun.*-Chattanooga$, ^Tun.*-Midlothian$
#       dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-Buffalo|Chattanooga|Midlothian$
        host_name                       BuffaloSGGW.niag
        service_description             Niagara_SSH
        execution_failure_criteria      c

If I have a host called viper with the following definitions, I'm wondering
why the group admins gets warning notifications for the service "DISK /"
after the first notification. To me, these definitions say that admins
should get no more than 5 notifications and no warning notifications after
the first one. Am I wrong in thinking that? In testing this, the admins
group got at least 8 warning notifications.

No, you must create the skeleton hostgroup as below. It's not a bug,
that's how it's designed. It can't auto-create it as the other required
hostgroup element, alias, would be unknown.

define host {
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               tnops-redacted
        alias                   Redacted - 4774
        address                 redacted
        contact_groups          tnops
        hostgroups              tnops-williamson,all-middle-tn
}

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  tnops-williamson
        alias           Williamson Tennessee
}

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  all-middle-tn
        alias           All Middle Tennessee
}

You're probably looking for this option in nagios.cfg --

# "TRUE" REGULAR EXPRESSION MATCHING
# This option controls whether or not "true" regular expression 
# matching takes place in the object config files.  This option
# only has an effect if regular expression matching is enabled
# (see above).  If this option is DISABLED, regular expression
# matching only occurs if a string contains wildcard characters
# (* and ?).  If the option is ENABLED, regexp matching occurs
# all the time (which can be annoying).
# Values: 1 = enable true matching, 0 = disable true matching

use_true_regexp_matching=1

Then again, maybe it isn't.  The title of this option is accurate but
easily misunderstood.  It isn't so much about changing how the
characters are interpreted, i.e., non-true uses "*" while true uses ".*"
but rather where regex interpretation takes place.  We leave it disabled
because we do not want all of our strings interpreted as regular
expressions.

Then again, maybe this is why we have found Nagios regex a little
inconsistent.  I wonder how it delimits a string.  I would view:

abc.*(?:def|ghi|jkl)

as a string but perhaps Nagios thinks the only regex is abc.*

Subject: Can you define an empty hostgroup?
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: <44E67263.2090707@gmxtechnologies.com>

ARG!

I had it that way, but must not have had the host defining the 
hostgroups line yet ... I went around and around and around and never 
hit the right combination ... sad.

OK, now that all of my hosts in each directory have a hostsgroup entry, 
and my main customer.cfg has the skeleton definition, all is working.

What threw me off was in the documentation, "members" is listed as a 
*required* directive.  So, not a bug in the software, but a bug in the 
documentation (sort of).  I tried all sorts of crazy stuff like 
"members" with no list, "members 0", "members null", etc ... and even 
had it commented out, just not when a hostgroups line was in a host, 
apparently.  Oh well.

Just in case anyone cares, what I've finally done is create a directory 
structure like this under /usr/local/nagios/etc:

    client/
       {client_name}/
       {client_name}.cfg
          devices/

In the client_name.cfg, I have defined the following stuff specific to 
each client (prefixed "{client_name}_" to the beginning of the standard 
section identifier):
    timeperiod
       {client_name}_24x7 (in case their version of 24x7 isn't *really* 
24x7)
    commands
       {client_name}_notify-by-email          (so we can customize the 
e-mail template)
       {client_name}_host-notify-by-email     (so we can customize the 
e-mail template)
       {client_name}_check-host-alive         (so we can adjust the 
thresholds)
       {client_name}_check-ping               (so we can adjust the 
thresholds)
    contact
    contactgroup
    host
       {client_name}_host                     (define the generic host 
on a per-client basis)
    service
       {client_name}_ping                     (so we can adjust the 
thresholds)
    hostgroup
       {define a customer specific hostgroup}

Then, in the "devices/" directory, I create 1 file per host (to make it 
easier to build a web interface to create/remove/modify hosts) with the 
following:

    host             (include the customer hostgroup from the config above)
    hostextinfo      (with a "notes" link to the cacti site with the 
host's graphs)

I'm sure it will need a bit more tweaking, but I *think* I'm headed in 
the correct direction.  This should let us add additional clients/groups 
such that they can see only their own stuff, and do some of their own 
configuration, etc.

Thanks!

Subject: ePN Strange problem with PERL Script
Message-ID: 

HI All

I wrote the SNMP plugin in Perl Script and I tested the script from command
line and 'mini_epn' with success.
When I use the script into NAGIOS Enviroment the script don't function and
return the follow error:

**ePN /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_prova.pl: "Argument "" isn't numeric in
division (/) at (eval 6) line 156,".

In line 156 there is the easy division operation.

Can you help Me?

My system is

Fedora Core 4
Nagios 2.5

Thank you

Top posting..

Put it in a shell wrapper. so that Nagios calls it as a shell script vs a
perl script, should solve your problem

Here they are. Everything is intact from how I have it on the server except
for the email address.

Contactgroup:

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       admins
        alias                   Nagios Administrators
        members                 nagios
        }

Contacts:

define contact{
        contact_name                    nagios
        alias                           Nagios Admin
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                           email at domain.com
        }


Yes admins should get warnings, but since the escalation file says only go
past original notification for critical and recovery, shouldn't I just get 1
warning notification or 2 at most?

Subject: Scaling question for all
Message-ID: <44E77973.7020600@gmail.com>

My company is currently reevaluating our server monitoring toolset. 
There are a number of tools on the table for review, as you might expect 
- CA Unicenter, Microsoft Operations Manager, Tibco Hawk, Nagios, and 
some home-grown tools. I've been tasked with identifying what would be 
involved in implementing Nagios there.

The environment is large - 10,000 Windows servers and 6,000 
Linux/Solaris/Tru64 servers (and a dozen VMS boxes) - a total of 120,000 
managed objects in all, from CPUs to processes to filesystems and 
services, located around the world in seven main locations with 
connections from dark fiber to 256k leased lines. I know that will mean 
a distributed Nagios architecture, but I'm not sure just how it should 
be done. I've seen references to two Nagios boxes configured for 
fault-tolerance handling about 3,000 objects, and other anecdotes 
indicating a number closer to 20,000 objects per pair.

My question for everyone is three-part - 1) how would you recommend 
laying this out in Nagios, at a high level; 2) how many objects would 
you control with a Nagios server maximum; and 3) would you consider 
running the Nagios servers as virtual machines under either Xen or VMWare?

Thanks in advance...

At that size, it must surely be tempting to just purchase some other 
company's toolset, that has well-understood requirements for that size. 
At least, that's the sort of decision many companies make, which 
probably explains Tivloi :-)

Well, think about the rate of alerts for a start. With that number of 
objects, what alert rate do you expect in normal operations? If you 
can't pump out alert messages fast enough, it's pointless monitoring 
them.

Also, at that size, a metric telling you how many filesystems are over 
threshold is useless. Correlation is extremely important instead. What 
you need to be doing is concentrating on business impact, which means 
that your monitoring zones should be designed around discrete 
per-project boundaries (well, as discrete as possible), and each one is 
capable of presenting an overview to the next layer up. For example, if 
I'm wanting to know "is Oracle up" I don't need to know if one of a 
RAID set's disks is down. However, the hardware people need to know 
about the disks; they're not so concerned with the applications.

Split up your environment along project/responsibility lines, into as 
many small chunks as possible, and for each one have a monitoring 
solution. Instead of one Nagios with 120000 objects, you'll hopefully 
end up with a hundred-odd Nagios installs with ~1000 objects in each. 
Each business unit can look at their own local/dedicated view, and can 
provide a calculated "business unit status" view to a central overview 
Nagios.

As far as Xen or VMware is concerned, do whatever you need in order to 
make your monitoring as available as possible; if the motoring does 
down, so does your knowledge of your own operations. A Xen object can 
be migrated between hardware platforms without significant downtime 
IIRC; I expect that VMware ESX can do the same. This allows you to keep 
the monitors running while doing essential maintenance on their 
hardware; essential unless you have big iron (by your description you 
don't).

Well, this weekend all of a sudden I got 2 sms from nagios, while I
didn't change anything. So it seems that 30 seconds is indeed too
short to use with my provider.

How can I adjust the timeout only for the sms_client command ? For all
other things, the 30 second timeout is just fine.

Thanks,
Dick

There is just an global timeout for notification, if you got other
notification scripts, you have to handle timeouts directly in the
script.

Hi,

1. I have to configure Nagios to send alerts to a management host.

These two are connected via VPN. What will be best method to sent nagios

However the management host does not receive any alert ?

Subject: plugin upgrade problem
Message-ID: <8adc88580608210159x6e1d447q5a91484d6b9d47c6@mail.gmail.com>

I am trying to upgrade nagios plugins to v1.4.3 (1.89) on Suse
Enterprise Server 9. I need this upgrade as I need the HTTPS check
feature ( -S switch ) for check_http.

I did -

 ./configure  --exec-prefix=/home/me/nagios/

and also,

./configure --with-openssl=yes --exec-prefix=/home/me/nagios

./configure --with-tls=yes --exec-prefix=/home/me/nagios

But everytime the output is -

--with-openssl: no
--with-gnutls: no

Nagios plugins compile fine but I don't get the -S feature in check_http.

I have the following OpenSSL and GnuTLS versions installed -

gnutls-1.0.8-26.4
openssl-0.9.7d-15.21

Nagios v2.4.

Hi,

You need the devel packages of SSL
something like: libssl-devel or something like that...

I don't use Suse so i can not tell you the exact name of the package.

Guillaume

Hello all,

i have defined multiple host dependencis for one single host. Now
notification is not sent when any of dependencies failed (any of hosts

Many thanks for any ideas.

I installed the package; SSL is enabled but now I get a "make" error.

I solved the problem. I just did a "make clean && make && make

One possibility (and this may not be the best way -- it's on
off-the-top-of-my-head thing) would be to have an addition check using
check_cluster that failes if all of the depended-on services are down,
and depend on that.

Hi

I have been using the Open Manage checks that run using nrpe for ages 
and they worked fine for openmanage upto version 4.5. I have since 
started to deploy version 5 of this software and i am seeing a critical 
alert even though the disk array is fine

STORAGE: CRITICAL [ Ctrl 0 Disk 0:0 is Ok(No) Ctrl 0 Disk 0:1 is Ok(No) ]

does anyone know of updated plugins that work with openmanage version 5?

thanks

my mistake sorry - seems a more recent version of this check is 
available and allows v5 compatibility.

Subject: Service Checks in Distributed mode
Message-ID: <44E9F05A.3080900@comcast.net>

I have 2 nagios 2.5 servers running; both are doing active checks, but 
one acts as the "central" server and receives passive checks from the 
other.  I have it set up this way so our analysts will only have to 
monitor "one" server.  I am seeing major delays with service checks on 
the central server.  I am assuming my server is getting backed up trying 
to process all the passive checks, so the active checks are only being 
executed every 30-45 minutes.  Is this possible?  What would be the best 
way to solve this problem, removing the passive checks?

My suggestion in a Distributed environment is to have your Central server 
perform only passive checks.  This cleans up the configuration a bit and 
allows for the "one page to view" feature you are after.  If, for network 
topology issues, you need to have two Distributed active Nagios boxes, I 
would add a third, Central and have each Distributed send results over to 
this third box.  It helps to rsync or otherwise copy the files from 
Distributed to Central to avoid having multiple configuration points.

If your total number of services monitored is above 1,000, I would suggest 
a slight modification from what the docs suggest.  That is to use global 
service event handlers to notify of changes versus ocsp.  This will cut 
down on the number of updates to your Central server dramatically and 
reduce the lag from a change on Distributed to that change being reflected 
on Central.

Any questions, please ask.

My 2 current nagios servers are running on Dell 1750's. Each has a 
2.4GHz Xeon Processor and 2 Gigs of Ram. What type of specs would be 
needed if I were to add a central server that only deals with passive 
checks?  I am pretty sure I could come up with a smaller server; would 
it be better to use that for the centralized server, or move one the 
1750's into that role?

Ian,

I'm familiar with the 1750s having used them in my past job.  I had a 1750 
as my Central getting updates from about 20 different Distributeds and 
accounting for about 1000 total services.  The 1750 was definitely up to 
that task and probably had RAM/CPU cycles to spare.  You could probably 
have an even smaller box, maybe a Dell 850 server as your Central.

Hope that helps!

Subject: BUG? Segfault & coredump with scheduled downtime,
 downtime scheduled horked
Message-ID: 

Dear all,

        I have a small but interesting update regarding the problem I have 
been having:  Nagios' regular crashing when multiple downtimes are 
scheduled.

        I have verified the behavior the I described earlier.  All 
downtimes (6 or more) are submitted to Nagios at midnight.  The first 
downtime starts as normal.  However, when the first downtime ends, all 
other downtimes immediately begin, even though it is not their time.  This 
time, however:

1) I did not use Nagios version 2.5.  I used the version of Nagios in CVS 
(I downloaded the daily CVS tarball from 17 August 2006).

2) When I noticed that all of my scheduled downtimes were active when they 
should not have been, I checked the downtime.dat file.  The downtime.dat 
file contained correct information, the downtime start and end times were 
all correct.  It seems that Nagios had decided to corrupt those values in 
memory.

3) After I was done looking at downtime.dat, I restarted Nagios (through 
the CGIs).  Nagios promptly restarted, and everything seems back to 
normal.  I guess Nagios reloaded the downtime schedule from the data file.

        So, more useful information.  So far I haven't received any advice 
on my problem, either on-list or off-list?  Any ideas/advice/help?  Thanks 
in advance!

Subject: hostgroup + service check = overides?
Message-ID: <44EA23A7.2090401@web-ster.com>

I have several servers and thus I've used the "hostgroup_name" to
apply several generic services to about 10 of my servers. That way I
don't have to define a ping service for each host, just that group.

One of the services that I've applied is "load average" and I have
one server out of ten that's paging out due to high load. This is
normal because this server does more work. So I'd like to up the
settings for that one server, but I can't without changing the
settings for the WHOLE group.

Is there a way I can override that one service for that one server?
I was hoping I could just redefine that service and it would
override the "global" setting but Nagios complains about duplicate
service entries.

We're running a single twin 2.4GHz Xeon server with 2GB of memory and
it's happily handling 3450 active checks and 133 passive checks.  I
suspect we could get up to 6000 at least before it started to struggle.

Subject: problem in getting the results from check_disk_smb
Message-ID: <5f638b360608212345x266e35e5mb7c0acd55a1ad24e@mail.gmail.com>

hey friends,

 I am using Nagios 2.5 on FC3. Currently I am facing the problem in
getting the results of the samba shares available on Windows & Linux.

I am getting the result from the command line but not from Nagios web
interface. I am getting this in the web interface "Result from
smbclient not suitable"

./check_disk_smb -H 192.168.5.2 -s backup -w 90 -c 95
Domain=[SUN] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 1]
Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
Disk ok - 8.18G (21%) free on \\192.168.5.2\backup

The version of check_disk_smb is (nagios-plugins 1.4.2) 1.12.


define command{
        command_name    check_disk_smb_mail
        command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk_smb -H
192.168.5.2 -s backup
 -w 85 -c 92
       }

define service{
        host_name               backupserver
        service_description     samba shares on backup server
        check_command           check_disk_smb_mail
        max_check_attempts      5
        normal_check_interval   5
        retry_check_interval    3
        check_period            nonworkhours
        notification_interval   30
        notification_period     nonworkhours
        notification_options    w,c,r
        contact_groups          linux-admins
        }



 I am getting "Access Denied" on the Linux Samba Shares through Nagios
Web Interface but from the command line I am getting the desired
result.

/check_disk_smb -H 192.168.5.3 -s softwares -w 80 -c 90
Domain=[SUN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10-1.fc3]
Disk ok - 28.6G (51%) free on \\192.168.5.3\softwares


What can be the problem?

Thanks & Regards

Ankush Grover

Subject: Automated on-call contact updates...
Message-ID: <1f8fae340608220237n7e76ff39g8b3a3e78fe3f41cb@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all.

I was just looking for some input as to what people do in terms of
on-call calenders and integration into Nagios.

I've just setup Bluez and Gnokii so I can SMS alerts to an on-call
engineer and I'm wondering how best to go about automating the process
of who gets called when.

Are there any existing packages out there or am I going to have to
cobble some scripts together? I assume if I use a $USERn$ variable in
resource.cfg to hold the current on-call number, that would require a
restart/reload of Nagios to be re-read when updated?

FYI I'm running the following:

[root at devmon1 nagios]# rpm -qa | grep nagios
nagios-plugins-1.4.2-1.2.el4.rf
nagios-2.4-1.el4.rf
[root at devmon1 nagios]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.3 (Final)

Thanks for all input.

Will.

Hi all,

On the Nagios Exchange site I read about NagiosVMA. I like to try it out  
but unfortunately the only download link is for a torrent-file which does  
not seem to be shared anymore...

Does somebody know a place where it can be downloaded with FTP or  
something?

We have our own home grown SMS system using SMS Server Tools as a back 
end, with a web front end to manage contacts. Each of our support teams 
has a teamname.oncall contact defined in Nagios and in the SMS system. 
In the SMS system it just points to a human contact (essentially its 
just using a Sendmail style alias file). The team leaders of the teams 
can change what the oncall alias points to whenever they change their 
roster. Thus, Nagios never changes. The SMS system has other features, 
but this gives you an idea of how we went about that particular problem.

Thanks Michael,

I knew there were more projects for 'Instant Nagios', but I wanted to try  
out the NagiosVMA because it contains Monarch too (I do not need a  
graphical config interface myself, but it might be usefull for our  
customers).

But I will definetaly look into this project too!

Richard,

For an excellent Nagios VmWare appliance try Instant IT Monitor at

http://richard.trezza.us/vmach/index.html

It is a full Nagios implementation with Monarch frontend in a Fedora 4
VM. You can import your existing Nagios configs into Monarch, giving
you a quick way of easing configuration changes later.

Subject: Problems with the nuvola theme
Message-ID: <2af7b9900608230130y6eb87265y56b33b845c4caa08@mail.gmail.com>

Hi I'm running nagios 2.4.-0bpo1 (nagios 2.4 backported for Debian
Sarge) on apache2 2.0.54-5. I tried to apply the theme nuvola, but I'm
having problems with the stylesheets.

The problem is that if I apply the theme nuvola the frames do not
contain any link to the stylesheet "common.css" resulting in all the
common styles lost.

This is for instance tac.cgi

If I try to take just the stylesheets from nuvola (but not the
sidebar) using the original sidebar the frames contain the link to
common.css.

This is the same tac.cgi called with the original sidebar:

So I guess that is an issue with the nuvola sidebar, but I checked the
code and the calls to the cgi scripts are the same as the original
sidebar... so I don't know what could be the problem...

Any hint?

Subject: Timeouts
Message-ID: <44EC2329.4080202@kinzesberg.de>

Hi folks,

I have a problem concerning timeouts.

First the basics: I run Nagios 2.3.1 on Debian Sarge stable.

I have configured "service_check_timeout=60", but in certain 
circumstances (e.g. slow dns) I get the erorr: "Plugin timed out after 
10 seconds" or "Socket timed out after 10 seconds".

Is there another timeout value I have to configure to get rid of this 10 
seconds threshold?

I know that I should work on my dns first, but I want to understand what 
decisions Nagios makes there.

Any hint or help is appreciated.

Dirk

Got it!

I had an old installation of nagios (ver.1.3)  still active on the server
and cgipath in config.js was pointing to /nagios/cgi-bin/ instead of
/nagios2/cgi-bin/
Thus I was using old cgi scripts that didn't have the link to common.css

Sorry for bothering.

Subject: Web Event Log View can crash IE?
Message-ID: <28919ADDC3E2C44BAD07B1EB44818493D7B65F@cmgexcdc01.CMG.local>

Hello List,

I just wondered whether I'm alone in having the Web "Event Log"
sometimes appear to make IE stop responding (need to do forced close of
IE).

This is most evident when attempting to view an earlier log than the one
being displayed, but often occurs on the current event log too.

I don't get the problem with Firefox, but I do get it with IE (on
multiple client systems).

I've had the problem with Nagios 2.4 & now 2.5.

Thanks

Giles

   How big are your logs?  The ones I have here are fairly large
(about 3.6 megs/day) and sometimes cause IE to slow to an absolute
crawl.  I've never had to forcibly shut it down, but have seen
several instances where it went unresponsive for 30 seconds or so.

If I have a host called viper with the following definitions, I'm wondering
why the group admins gets warning notifications for the service "DISK /"
after the first notification. To me, these definitions say that admins
should get no more than 5 notifications and no warning notifications after
the first one. Am I wrong in thinking that? In testing this, the admins
group got at least 8 warning notifications.

Also, here are the generic-host and generic-service definitions. I forgot to
include those before as well.

        }

define service{

Anyone have any insight on this? I haven't been able to figure out why this
shouldn't work. Thanks.

Do I have to explicitly say in the escalations that warnings should stop at
1 notification, rather than just say only critical and recovery can go from
2 to 5 like I had before? Do I have to put something like this?

define serviceescalation{
        host_name                     viper
        service_description           DISK /
        first_notification            1
        last_notification             1
        notification_interval         0
        contact_groups                admins
        escalation_options            w
}

Subject: submitting external commands remotely
Message-ID: <96527af60608230740u5d1707d6nc6c72a460cc11021@mail.gmail.com>

I have a handful of scripts that I've written that submit commands to our
Nagios monitor remotely, so I'm pretty comfortable with working with
external commands.  I now need to be able to submit external commands from
an external host.  In a nutshell I want to schedule downtime of specific
services based on recurring tasks that are run on those remote machines.
I've written a script that will schedule service downtime and it works fine
when I run it on the nagios server.  I tried exporting the nagios/var
directory via NFS and mounted it from one of the remote machines so that
they could write to nagios.cmd.  But when I run the script on these remote
machines Nagios never responds to those external commands.  The script
appears to successfully write to the NFS mounted nagios.cmd but Nagios never
gets the message, and it never shows up in nagios.log.

Is it possible for a remote machine to communicate with Nagios this way (NFS
mounted nagios.cmd), or is there a better approach for submitting external
commands from an external host?

Hi,

    I doubt you can use sockets over NFS, someone correct me if i am wrong.
    What you could do is to execute the script on the nagios host, via ssh.

    If you normaly do this on the nagios host: scheduledowntine.sh host 
ServerA 13:00 14:00

    You could do this on a remote machine: ssh nagioshost 
"scheduledowntine.sh host ServerA 13:00 14:00"

    You would be prompted for a password every time you do this, but you
    could use rsa/dsa keys, then there would be no need to enter a 
password each time.

    Safe and simple.... :)

    Cheers,
    Peter

Subject: ocsp slows nagios a great deal
In-Reply-To: <20060811143831.GD4397@solar.uchicago.edu>
References: <20060811143831.GD4397@solar.uchicago.edu>

Not sure if this was discussed (I didn't find later threads), but I would suggest
that you need to batch your send_nsca requests.  Realize that *every*
transaction that nagios does invokes OCSP if it is defined.   This means
there is a fork, exec, and then whatever that app does.  If you have a perl
ocsp script for example, perl has to compile that script, execute your
code, and most likely then fork/exec send_nsca.

Send_nsca has the ability to accept batch input.  I streamline my ocsp
script so that the data is batched up in a file that at some point later
in time will be sent using send_ncsa.  Given that you have a good
number of checks, nagios is making the ocsp call very frequently.  You
can use that to your advantage.

Each time you run your script:

1) stat the queue/batch file (if it exists)
2) flock the batch file (if it exists)
3) If it is older then an acceptable amount of time (make this
    a configurable parameter), set a flag to remember you will
    be pushing the data on this iteration.
4) If the file is larger then an acceptable size, set your
    flag again.

5) write your ocsp args to the end of your batch queue file.
6) if the flag is set, run send_nsca and pipe your batch queue file
    into it.
7) truncate the file to zero length
8) unlock it

You will dramatically cut down on the send_nsca fork/exec's and
you will also cut down on the network traffic and system noise
that you create as a result of making so many connections.

Go back over your code and streamline it.  An alternate implementation
could be to start a perl demon that does 1-8 that reads from a FIFO
and simply make your OCSP routine an "echo $@ >>fifo"
You could also then have the perl program wake up more regularly and
flush the queue rather then having to rely on the next OCSP request
to come through (you could also use a cron job or a nagios plug-in
to periodically flush the queue by making the ocsp command both
a plug-in and ocsp compatible, simply call the OCSP command with
a zero timeout to cause the flush and allow null args which would
skip adding them to the queue when called as a plug-in)

Subject: [Nagios-users] ocsp slows nagios a great deal

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

Message-ID: <20060823083140.39722431.durket@hw-durket.stanford.edu>

If one attempts to specify the following in Nagios:

define servicedependency {

dependent_host_name             Y
dependent_service_description   Z

notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c
}

it generates the error:

Error: Could not expand master hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service dependency 
(config file 'config.cfg', starting on line ....

If I'm reading the code correctly in xodtemplate.c it looks like the code starting 
at line 4119 should consider the possibility that no hosts/hostgroups are specified 
even though a dependent host name is, and allow a fall-through to the code at line
4179 which appears to be designed to handle just this case.

Yes, The service_check_timout in nagios.cfg is a last-resort timeout. If
a plugin hasn't terminated itself in that period of time then nagios
will kill it. All of the standard plugins (I believe) can be passed a
timeout value in their command line, usually via -t. If none is passed
they'll use whatever value is hard coded (usually 10 seconds). You can
use '--help' for the plugins you use to see the timeout parameters.

Or use IP's instead of names so you don't rely on an external service
that can possibly fail. ;)

Subject: NSCA only accepts first check
Message-ID: <44ECE2A5.9030303@accre.vanderbilt.edu>

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure nsca, and I've run into a problem:  NSCA only 
accepts the first passive check that is sent to it, and all subsequent 
checks fail.

first check:
[18:05:02]$ echo -e "vmp161.vampire\tMyrinet Connectivity\t0\tBLAH\n" | 
./src/send_nsca -H monitor -c nsca.cfg
1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully.

second try:
[18:11:29]$ echo -e "vmp161.vampire\tMyrinet Connectivity\t0\tBLAH\n" | 
./src/send_nsca -H monitor -c nsca.cfg
Error: Timeout after 10 seconds

After restarting the nsca daemon on the monitoring host, it will again 
accept a single check, and all subsequent checks will timeout.

The nsca.cfg on the remote host has only a password entry.  Here are the 
relevant bits from the nsca.cfg on the nagios server(monitor):

pid_file=/var/run/nsca.pid
server_port=
server_address=
nsca_user=nagios
nsca_group=nagios
debug=1
command_file=/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
alternate_dump_file=/var/log/nagios/rw/nsca.dump
aggregate_writes=0
append_to_file=0
max_packet_age=30
password=
decryption_method=1

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Best,

Andrew

I keep on getting "No Information Returned from Host Check" for one my host. (for rest everything seems perfect)

 

Does that mean my Server is unable to process the Simple PING command? Or the MONITORED Server is denying response to PING occasionally???

 

Is it could be the ISP? Do you think that using Passive Host check would be of Help in that case?

Thought I would forward along this fix.  It works fine after doing this, 
but we had to add nsca to /etc/services as well.

The NRPE plugin will encrypt the communications with NRPE by default.

To be careful, I would recommend running NRPE under xinetd to  
leverage tcpwrappers and configure the Nagios server(s) that can  
communicate with NRPE.  You may also wish to change the NRPE port for  
obscurity.

Also leave dont_blame_nrpe set to 0 whenever possible in the NRPE  
configuration.

Wieers site. I have installed Nagios numerous times, RPM's and sources before 
and have solved this particular issue before but I am having trouble getting 
past it this time.

Each of the services, including the nagios server all have the correct results 
showing on the service detail page but the host names are showing red. On the ?
status map page all of the hosts show down.

I have manually verified, using check_nrpe   each of 
the remote hosts and manually run each of the plugins on the nagios server. 
All of them return the correct results, thus the correct results on the 
pages.

I feel so much better when I see green. Anyone have the obvious fix. I 
remember it was so simple when I got past this before.

I had this problem with NSCA not too long ago. The fix for me was to
edit the init script start function:

I changed this line:

daemon $NscaBin -s -c $NscaCfg

to

daemon $NscaBin --daemon -c $NscaCfg

Your distro may have something similar (this is out of Mandriva 2006). I
am not sure why that change was necessary (not all installations I have
exhibit the same problem), but it worked for me.

Subject: NPRE Could not complete SSL handshake.
Message-ID: <82a5ca600608241430w7b6dc0d6qb506d3bd20c7e86a@mail.gmail.com>

I'm trying to add some NRPE checks on a couple new remote hosts.  On
the first I tried, I ended up getting this error:

CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake

Googling that quickly turned up this:

http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=191

And made me realize I was allowing the wrong IP in /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe,
and everything started working fine after I'd fixed that.  But when I
moved on to the next host, I got the same problem again, and it's
definitely not the IP this time.  I'm using the same versions on both
ends, so I believe I can rule out solutions 1 & 2.
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe, /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg, /dev/random, and
/dev/urandom are all owned by root but world readable, so I don't
think it's a permissions problem.  Which brings me back to solution 5,
the IP.

So I tried changing the allowed IP to localhost, and then did a
"telnet localhost 5666".  That connected, and then waited for input
from me.  But when I changed it back to my nagios monitoring host, and
tried "telnet remotehost 5666" from my nagios host, it established a
TCP connection just fine, but immediately reported "Connection closed
by foreign host" (which is the same behavior I get when trying it from
a disallowed host).  (And yes, I'm restarting xinetd between these
changes.)

For comparison, I tried telneting to port 5666 on the host I set up
just before this one, which is working, and there the connection was
established and then it waited for input from me, as it had in my
localhost test.

Can anybody suggest why it might be immediately closing the
connection, despite the IP being accurate?

Nagios was installed via apt on a Debian system, and npre &
nagios-plugins were installed via rpm on RHEL3 systems.

Thanks a ton!

Tom

Is nrpe running as a daemon or out of xinetd/inetd? Daemon-mode nrpe uses
libwrap, you'll need an nrpe entry in /etc/hosts.allow. The comment in the
nrpe.cfg means nothing, allowed_hosts has no effect.

Sounds like a fairly simple matter of your host checks failing.  Try
running whatever your host check command is as the Nagios user and
that'll probably tell you why, if it doesn't give you an obvious enough
answer on the host info page.

I'm fairly certain I set it up the same way I set up the other that's
working via xinetd, but just in case, I've now added "5666: ", but
that doesn't seem to have made a difference.  Thanks for the
suggestion, though.

Subject: check_by_ssh not working
Message-ID: <20060825023819.50786.qmail@web60417.mail.yahoo.com>

	Here's the scenario:

user John can connect via ssh to SONICSERVER using oracle user without authentication. To verify, i run this command and encountered no problem:

ssh -i /home/John/.ssh/id_rsa oracle at SONICSERVER w

and the commands run properly.

But when i tried this command: 

[John at SONICSERVER ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H SONICSERVER -i /home/John/.ssh/id_rsa \
 -C "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -e -m" -l oracle

It says: 

CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

By the way, I also tried :

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H SONICSERVER -i /home/oracle/.ssh/authorized_keys -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_swap -w 50% -c 10%' -l oracle

but encounter the same error: 

CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

Is there something wrong in the command??? Plugins was own by nagios but i set permission that John can execute it as well.
 
 I just notice that most people that uses nagios monitoring via ssh uses dsa not rsa. Is there a diffrence between dsa and rsa when using it to nagios??

My estimate would be that your nagios user can not read the identity file
from John. So either copy or move it to some place where user nagios can
read it.

Subject: View host/service config as authenticated user
Message-ID: <44EEBBB2.4010403@gmx.li>

Hi,

I'm running Nagios v2.0.

On the following page are the default cgi permissions, which include the right for every user to 
read it's own host/service/service command configuration.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html#default_rights


As I understand this can't be done by using the configuration CGI.

"It is important to note that by default no one is authorized for the following...
...
Viewing host group, contact, contact group, time period, and command definitions via the 
configuration CGI"


So far so good.


But how does a normal authenticated user, who is *not* listed in the cgi.cfg with 
"authorized_for_configuration_information" would list just it's own host and service configuration?

According to the default permissions authenticated contacts are allowed to view host/service/service 
command configuration information.



Here's the setup I'm testing with (just the names):

contact: test-contact
contact_group: test-group (member: "test-contact")
Host: test (contact_group: "test-group")
Service: test-svc (contact_group "test-group")


Now when logging in to the webinterface as user "test-contact", I can't find a way to view only the 
config for host "test" or service "test-svc" or for the related service commands.

Is there any link I didn't find?


Thanks,

Lars

Subject: Excluding host in hostgroups.cfg
Message-ID: 

Hi all,

I cannot exclude certain hosts from my hostgroups.cfg. My nagios.cfg shows:

use_regexp_matching=1
use_true_regexp_matching=1

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  ping-servers
        alias           Pingable servers
        members         s_sv.*,s_ups.*,s_fw.*,s_rt.*
        }

The hostgroup above works, however when I change it into this:

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  ping-servers
        alias           Pingable servers
        members         s_sv.*,s_ups.*,s_fw.*,s_rt.*,!s_sv_mail
        }

It shows : Error: Could not find any host matching '!s_sv_mail'

Host s_sv_mail exists, so it has something to do with the exclamation mark ?

Thanks,
Dick

The default host check is check_ping with some mildly liberal 
thresholds.  If you look for the host check command in your config 
files, you'll probably find a 50-100ms threshold pre-configured.  If 
your hosts are across the public Internet, sometimes those values will 
need adjusted.  Your host status page should tell you what the actual 
round trip time is as a basis for choosing the correct values.

   DJ.
  I dont know the underlying details but if you change

use_true_regexp_matching=1
 to
use_true_regexp_matching=0

  And try it again you'll find it works.    To use the wildcard notation 
you show in your examples

members         s_sv.*,s_ups.*,s_fw.*,s_rt.*

 you dont need to have use_true_regexp_matching enabled.    Anyhoo hope 
this helps out.
  Deet.

Subject: Host checks - Retry interval
Message-ID: <44EF383B.3030709@zertia.es>

Hi, everyone.

We would like to know if there is any way of modifying the interval 
between host checks, I mean, something similar to "retry interval" for 
services.

Checking out our logs and reading the documentation I guess this it?s 
not possible, it seems that nagios, when checking the state of a host, 
performs the "max_check_attempts" at most checks one inmediately after 
another, without any interval between them. Is there any way to change 
this behavior?

Our reason for this is that sometimes there are little losses in 
conectivity but the host hasn?t gone actually down, so it would be 
better waiting some time in the host check, as it can be done with 
services, so that we don?t get notified unnecessarily.

I guess the only way of getting through this would be playing with 
notifications but if someone has any other idea or some suggestions 
about this, I would really appreciate it...

Thanks in advance.

David Latorre

Maybe I simply misunderstood your question, but whouldn't 
normal_check_interval and retry_check_interval exactly give the desired  
behaviour? This is fo 1.4, so I don't know of the names changed in 2.X...

> CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake

Okay, when I remove the nrpe file from /etc/xinetd.d, restart xinetd,
and telnet to port 5666 from my nagios system, I get a connection
refused instead of "Connection closed by foreign host."  So it's
clearly running out of xinetd and not getting filtered by any firewall
in between, I've also verified the IP is set correctly in the xinetd
config, and the relevant files are all world readable:

$ ls -l /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg /dev/*rand*
crw-r--r--    1 root     root       1,   8 Jun 24  2004 /dev/random
crw-r--r--    1 root     root       1,   9 Dec  8  2005 /dev/urandom
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         6.9K Aug 24 16:49 /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          479 Aug 25 14:55 /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

I also installed nagios-plugins from the same rpm files on this system
and the one that is working on, and am using the same configuration
files on both, so I'm not sure what else to look for.

Can anybody think of any other way I could troubleshoot this or any
other information that might help?

Thanks a ton,

Tom

I'm really sorry, I did try your /etc/hosts.allow suggestion, but I
must have done something wrong, because when I tried changing
hosts.deny from

ALL: ALL EXCEPT localhost

to

ALL: ALL EXCEPT localhost,myip

it suddenly started working.  So it obviously was a tcpwrappers issue
after all, sorry for mistakenly concluding otherwise.

Thank you very much for the suggestion!

Tom

Subject: cannot stop notifications!!
Message-ID: 

Hi,

I?ve been working with nagios for a while, I like it a lot, but now i?m 
having some major problems with notifications. I have a server that flaps 
a lot because of a poor channel, i configured nagios with the external 
commands options enable, and it seems to work, but now, this server is 
sending too many messages, almost 1000 a day, that is driving me crazy.., 
I try to disable notifications from the web page, and it appears to have 
taken the command, it appears in red in the bottom of the page, but when 
the page refresh is not disable anymore.... and it continues to send 
messages.. the last change i did, was to modify the configuration file 
directly, the notifications option from workhours to none... and it 
continues to send the messages..

Does anybody know how i can make it to take the changes?

Any sugestion will be appreciated..

thanks..

Creyes.

I had the same problem you seem to have, I could not disable 
notifications from the nagios web interface so what I did was went into 
my nagios.cfg file and around line 622 you'll see something like 
"enable_notifications=1" change that 1 to a 0 and that should 
effectively disable any nagios notifications. (I also disabled my nagios 
event handlers this way). Hope that helps you.

Seems like quite a bit of overkill. If you want to disable notifications
for 1 host then change the settings for that host. Likewise for the
services.

If the webinterfce will not let you do it you can always change the
settings for that host/services.

i'm trying to use nrpe (2.5.1) on hp-ux and encounters problems. compile
is ok with gcc 4 provided by HP (32bit/GNUBase or 64bits/gcc-g++), but

Subject: Strange output from check_snmp
Message-ID: <608.5953-31949-455225113-1156620057@seznam.cz>

Hi 

When I run check_snmp with verbose parameter I get:

It worked without problem before but I reinstalled system with Suse 10.1 and there is 

net-snmp-5.3.0.1-21
net-snmp-devel-5.3.0.1-21

Of course, I compiled nagios-plugins with this new snmp package
I  tried to install also other plugin from nagiosexachange.org like check_snmp-1.4  and gwfl-nagios-plugins-2.1 but make failed because of snmp problems

Subject: (No output!) Errors in Nagios 2.4
Message-ID: <44F17238.8010001@mailnetwork.co.uk>

Hi,

I've been using Nagios for around 5 months now with no problems.  I've 
recently added a new server onto my network, which has added somewhere 
in the region of another 3 hosts and 12 services onto Nagios.

Since then I now keep getting random errors in the "Status Information" 
for services only.

For example I've got a HTTP monitor which monitors 
http://photos.andyshellam.eu:80, and this has started saying "Name or 
service not known" or "(No output!)" and labelled with either an OK or 
CRITICAL state (when the site is actually OK.)

I've also got an SMTP check which should be CRITICAL as the server's not 
yet up and running - Nagios labelled this as OK with an "(No output!)" 
message.

An SSH connection has also started failing, saying "Server returned:" in 
the Status Information box with a CRITICAL status, even though the 
server was up and running (as it's on the same machine as Nagios.)

Lastly, an NRPE check started failing, saying "Cannot resolve 'tcp' as 
service name".

In all the above cases, if I force an active check, all the problems 
return to the status they should be, but within 30 minutes or so 
(services are checked every 5 minutes) they start spewing these random 
errors again.

Any ideas?

This is Nagios 2.4 with plugins 1.4.3, NRPE 2.5.2 on a Fedora Core 5 
machine.

Thanks

Andy.

I think you could improve the likelyhood of getting help by providing:
 - host definition (+ template if needed)
 - service definition (+ template if needed)
 - checkcommand definition
 - Results of check command as user nagios from the commandline

Hugo,

I didn't think it relevant to post full details of hosts/services as 
sometimes the commands work and sometimes they don't.
It's not a problem with command syntax, specific host or service - it's 
a global thing.  If I run the command manually they work fine, as shown 
below.

Here's an example of a failing PostgreSQL service: "(Return code of 127 
is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)"

Run it manually:
> su -c '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_pgsql -H  -P 5432 -d 
>  -l  -w 30 -c 60' - nagios
>  OK - database  (0 
> sec.)|time=0.000000s;30.000000;60.000000;0.000000
If I force the service to re-poll for an active check then that error 
will clear and come up OK, but then another service will fail.  
Currently I've got 3 failures on services that are actually up and working.

Take another example - the SSH service on the Nagios machine - currently 
reading "CRITICAL - Server answer:".  The flapping state is  "Percent 
State Change:72.70%" which suggests the service is coming up and down 
extremely randomly, however the machine and SSH service is working fine.

The command for this is:

define command {
    command_name        Check_SSH
    command_line        /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ssh -H $ARG1$ -p 
3322
}

And the service definition:

define service {
    host_name            Perth,Sydney-1
    use                Service_Template
    service_description             Encrypted Remote Access - SSH
    check_command            Check_SSH!$HOSTADDRESS$
}

And the same for running a HTTP service which is reading "(No status!)" 
manually:
> [root at dns zones]# su -c '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H 
> www.andyshellam.eu -N -p 80 -A "Nagios/2.4/dns.mailnetwork.co.uk" -f 
> follow -w 30 -c 60 -t 120' - nagios
> HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1023 bytes in 0.006 seconds 
> |time=0.006282s;30.000000;60.000000;0.000000 size=1023B;;;0

It sounds to me that you have more than one nagios daemon running. Stop nagios then use ps/kill to kill any nagios processes that remain then retart nagios.

Verify that you don't have multiple nagios daemons running. See my last
post.

Hi Marc,

Thanks for the reply.

I'd thought of this as well, as I did have some double-notifications 
being sent out when I originally installed Nagios a few months back.

However, here is the output of "ps auxwww|grep nagios" at this minute:

nagios   25891  0.0  0.0  18716  1304 ?        Ssl  10:48   0:00 
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
root     28664  0.0  0.0   4700   676 pts/0    S+   16:35   0:00 grep nagios

Now if I catch it while it's doing a check, I get the following:

nagios   25891  0.0  0.0  18716  1304 ?        Ssl  10:48   0:01 
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   30205  0.0  0.0  18720  1308 ?        S    16:37   0:00 
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   30206  0.0  0.0   4904   736 ?        S    16:37   0:00 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 84.18.200.160 -p 10 -w 500,50% 
-c 1000,100%
nagios   30215  0.0  0.0   1680   528 ?        S    16:37   0:00 
/bin/ping -n -U -w 20 -c 10 84.18.200.160
root     30226  0.0  0.0   4696   672 pts/0    S+   16:37   0:00 grep nagios

Notice the 2 daemons - is this by design?  If I stop the nagios daemon, 
all processes exit so I just get "grep nagios" listed.

On my SMTP check as well, at the moment it is reported it as "OK - (No 
output!)" when really it should be "CRITICAL - Connection refused" as 
the SMTP service is not running.

Thanks

Andy.

Hi,

We?re also using nagios 1.4 and with "retry interval" I meant 
retry_check_interval, but the problem is that this parameter only 
affects service checks, not host checks that are made automatically by 
nagios when a service fails, to find out if the host is down or is the 
service what is actually down.

Apparently, there are no means (or I haven?t found) of modifying the 
"retry_check_interval" for host checks, so I was asking if anyone knows 
any workaround for this? Maybe with the escalations file... any 
suggestions in this way?

Thanks

David

It seems like every 12 hours or so a web page stops loading, once the cgi 
has broken once, the client does not accept the 'Reload' header and the 
frame sits blank until the user clicks on a monitoring link again.

Any ideas how to get more debuging info out of this cgi?

Assuming you stop/started the service after modifying your hosts and
services config files, is it possible you used the rc/init script?
Have you killed the service (with the kill command) and then restarted
it yet? I'd try that...

I was under the impression that nagios will spawn more processes
during checks so that it can check several hosts at a time.

Hi Brian

Whenever I'd changed the configuration I always used "killall -HUP nagios."

The machine does use the rc init scripts on bootup and shutdown.  
Several times I've kill'd the nagios process so absolutely nothing of 
nagios was running, removed all the state information from nagios/var, 
then used the rc init script to fire it back up again.

I understand Nagios spawns more processes, I just thought it strange it 
would spawn another daemon during a check?

Anyway, last night we had some awful problems on that machine (files not 
being found when they were actually there - probably explaining the "127 
- plugin not found" message.)

I rebooted the machine last night and kicked Nagios off at shortly 
before midnight.  Out of my 17 services and 5 hosts, there are only two 
services that are playing up now - the rest have been in the same 
(correct) state for 15 and half hours now.

The 2 that are playing up still is an nrpe check which executes a 
check_disk and check_swap command on another machine.  The status logs 
of the 2 services since midnight are shown below.

I have no idea where "tcp" comes in, as it's not present in any of the 
commands ("/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $ARG1$ -p 5666 -t 60 
-c $ARG2$") - $ARG1$ is $HOSTADDRESS$ and $ARG2$ is "check_endeavour" 
and "check_swap" for the 2 checks respectively.  The NRPE on the remote 
machine for these two commands reads:

command[check_endeavour]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -p 
/endeavour -w 10% -c 5%
command[check_swap]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_swap -w 10% -c 5%

Is it possible this machine is having difficulty reading the 
/etc/services file, hence not being able to map a protocol number?

Have you checked the system logs on both the client and the Nagios
server?  This looks suspiciously like a "too many open files" kind of
error.

Subject: (No output!) Nagios 2.5
Message-ID: 

Hello all,

 

I first sent this to the plugins mailing list but I think this has more
to do with Nagios core since I am now having the problem with two
different plug-ins. They both give me correct output when I run the
checks manually but Nagios consistently gives me a result of (No
output!). The check below always had a Critical level for the No Output
but another check that I am doing gives a Warning level. How can there
be two different results from having "(No output!)." I do not see any
errors in any of my log files.

 

Below is the information from my previous email.

 

I am trying get check_snmp_win.pl to work. I am able to run the exact
command that Nagios is running without any problems and I get output,
but when I run the check though Nagios it says "No output!" I am able to
run other checks without any problems. 

 

I see at http://www.manubulon.com/nagios/faq.html#FAQ8 that there is a
problem with the embedded perl in Nagios so I make sure that I ran the
script using another version of perl. I am unable to find the p1.pl file
it is talking about patching. 

 

# 'check_win_proc_snmp'

define command{

       command_name    check_win_proc_snmp

        command_line    /opt/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp_win.pl -H HOST -C COMMUNITY -p PORT
-n SERVICE_TO_CHECK -N 1

        }

 

I have also tried using /usr/local/bin/perl and there has been no
change. I am able to run the check manually without any problems but
can't run it though Nagios.

 

Any help you can give will be great.

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

Hi Michael,

I've not long reported the same sort of error in 2.4. On my machine a 
reboot has *appeared* to sort it (keeping fingers and things crossed.) 
If I forced Nagios to re-do the check it would come back fine, but in 
most scheduled checks it would report "No output!" and an incorrect 
status (i.e. OK when it should be CRITICAL.) It seemed completely random 
to which plugin caused the failure, so it wasn't something I could 
attribute to a specific plugin (all mine bar 2 are standard anyway.)

Patrick on this list has suggested to look in the server logs for "too 
many open files" errors and the like.

Andy.

Hi Patrick

Nothing telling in the logs as far as I can see.

On the Nagios server:
> Aug 28 14:32:36 dns nagios: SERVICE ALERT: Sydney-1;Disk Space on 
> /endeavour;UNKNOWN;HARD;1;Cannot map "tcp" to protocol number
That's the only line for that time and date.

On the client, absolutely nothing since the NRPE daemon was started:

Aug 27 10:23:40 sydney-1 nrpe[2505]: Starting up daemon
Aug 27 10:23:40 sydney-1 nrpe[2505]: Listening for connections on port 5666
Aug 27 10:23:40 sydney-1 nrpe[2505]: Allowing connections from: 
127.0.0.1,84.18.200.160

One thing I had noticed is there were 8 services that were checked at 
that exact time.  Don't know if this could be a factor in it or not.

I'm in the process of setting up a Nagios 2.5 server - I'm going to use 
exactly the same configuration files and plugins, stop the 2.4 server 
and let the 2.5 server run for a couple of days.  If I don't get any of 
these errors then I'll know it's a server issue.

THanks

Andy.

It sounds to me that you have more than one nagios daemon running. Stop
nagios then use ps/kill to kill any nagios processes that remain then
retart nagios.

I've noticed that you should not immediately restart nagios after sending the stop command.  Some processes will continue to run, and if you restart too quickly - you'll end up with the mess you had.

Send the stop command and wait until you see all nagios processes exit.

Subject: SELinux issue with nagios after upgrade to
	Centos 4.2
Message-ID: 


Hi there,

(I don't know if this'll get packed into the correct thread, but I tried. 
It's in response to John Stevens' post bearing the same subject line from 
10/20/2005.)

Thanks for posting this, John: we've been experiencing the same issue 
using Dag's RPMs (which are generally excellent). The one thing I'd add is 
that, under CentOS 4.2 and 4.3, I got syntax errors from the recommended 
fix. (The quoting was what got me.) What worked in the end was to simply 
ditch the double-quotes:

    sudo -u $Nagios touch $NagiosVar/nagios.log $NagiosSav

Cheers,

Well I assumed that everyone has configured their hosts and services at
one time or another. So I guessed this nudge was enough to go in the
config section for the individual host/services instead of doing something
globally.

One can only assume people have access to the documentation and
occasionaly use it.

 From what I have seen posted in some forums and by Stephen Smalley, the 
correct way of to do transitions with "su" is by using the /sbin/runuser 
command.
Example of what I use.
 /sbin/runuser - $NagiosUser -c "touch $NagiosVarDir/nagios.log 
$NagiosRetentionFile"

Message-ID: <6CF3819508532549973C029FDBE336C036D1D7@msiesp-e2k02.esp.msi.local>

If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it...
 
I've got a case where I need to watch 2 interfaces on a router.  If Int1
is up and Int2 is down, that's ok.  If Int1 is down, but Int2 is up,
that's a warning.  If both are down, that's critical.
 
In addition, the interfaces may change per device (ie: on one router
it's an ethernet, on another is a serial).
 
I've used Nagios for a while now, but never had to write my own plugins
or anything like that, so if there's a RTFM response somewhere, that
works too.
 
Thanks!

Subject: to anyone monitoring windows machines with nagios
	(wmi, etc.)
Message-ID: <44F37356.30401@getproactivenow.com>

hey guys,

i recently started a project to simplify windows monitoring with nagios.  my
goal was to create a comprehensive set of plugins similar to the official nagios
plugins for *nix, but for win32 nrpe daemons.  so far, i have wmi plugins for
monitoring basic performance metrics like cpu, memory, disk, swap, service
state, etc.  i've also written some basic snmp, tcp, and icmp plugins, so this
project is not at all limited to monitoring windows machines.

a very nice side effect of this project was ending up with a simple object
oriented framework for writing future plugins.  this has improved my plugin
development time immensely.  for example, its now possible for me to write a
brand new, fully-functional wmi plugin from start-to-finish in literally 2 minutes!

the project page is here:

http://nagiospluginsnt.getproactivenow.com

i hope someone out there finds this stuff useful, and im interested in any
feedback you might have.

Hello Mike,

  You indeed have an interesting project here. Was trying to find
documentation towards understanding how it works but couldnt make any
progress. Am guessing......,

  You configure a service on the nagios box to call the nagiosnt plugin over
nrpe which can then call any other windows machine using wmi. Is this how it
works???.

  Thanks and Regards Mike.

sorry, documentation is a bit light at this point. =/

your guess is correct.  if you have to monitor a network of windows 
machines, its hard to beat doing it with wmi.  unfortunately, you cant 
query wmi directly from *nix (as far as i know), but you can run an nrpe 
service on one of your windows machines and "proxy" the checks through 
that machine.  you only need the check_nrpe plugin on the *nix side to 
do this.

my project is simply a collection of plugins, plus a framework for 
simplifying plugin development in c# .net.  i started it because i 
couldnt find a good replacement for the official nagios plugins for 
*nix, and i didnt want just a direct win32 port either, because i wanted 
the power of wmi for windows monitoring.

i hope this helps.

I recall hearing someone else wrote a WMI proxy for this purpose a
while ago, though I don't recall the project.

Perhaps you should compare?

Dear Jeremy,

Please take a look at some simple plugins written in bash.

They are extremely usefull, and you will have the control to write som 
very specific checks like the one you are asking for.

Best regards

[Nagios-users] SNMP monitoring intelligence?






If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it...
 
I've got a case where I need to watch 2 interfaces on a router.  If Int1 
is up and Int2 is down, that's ok.  If Int1 is down, but Int2 is up, 
that's a warning.  If both are down, that's critical.
 
In addition, the interfaces may change per device (ie: on one router it's 
an ethernet, on another is a serial).
 
I've used Nagios for a while now, but never had to write my own plugins or 
anything like that, so if there's a RTFM response somewhere, that works 
too.
 
Thanks!
 
Jeremy

Subject: Problems with service scheduling
Message-ID: <44F3FDDE.2030901@rhenus.de>

Hi list,

i recently ran into problems with the service scheduling inside my 
nagios installation and i guess i need some help. I'm running Nagios 2.5 
with roundabout 300 Hosts ans 2800 services on a 4-CPU Xeon machine with 
2 GB RAM. Services are actively monitored.

Thing is: I changed the configuration last week to better fit our needs. 
That included a lot of renaming of Services, Contacts, Contactgroups and 
Escalations. After I finished, i restarted the nagios daemon yesterday 
morning at about 9am. Result: the process doesn't start monitoring. I 
looked into the scheduling queue, and it told me it will start the 
monitoring at 5pm in the evening.

Over the day, i tried to analyse the problem. I reviewed the config, 
although Nagios verificates it to be good, finding nothing. Restart of 
the process has no effect, the scheduling queue doesn't change.

I tried with the old config (praise svn!), and the Process starts as 
usual, generating a new scheduling queue and beginning the monitoring.

As the only file influencing the schedule queue is the main config file 
and altough I did not change that, i copied it again from the old to the 
new config. It didn't show any effect, at least it shows the error seems 
to live in the host/service/escalation area of my config.

When i restarted the Nagios daemon at 4:50pm, waiting till 5pm, i began 
to monitor as he was expected to. That worked till today morning, when 
at around 9am (again!) the scheduling queue showed up with the 5pm-thing 
again.

I recompiled nagios with DEBUG1-3 to get some more information. After 
validating te config, it shows the following:

As you can see, i also changed the service interleaving from smart to 
dumb with an interleave factor of 1 to cirumvent the scheduling logic. 
In vain, i guess.... :-(

Now, for my questions:
Has anyone seen such behaviour already?
Where is that "Next Valid Time" in the Debug-Output from?
How is it generated?
Is there any tool beside the daemon itself to validate the config files?

Thanks for reading all the way down here and please excuse any lingual 
errors.

OMFG!

I finally found my error. As usual, it sat 30cm in front of my screen. :-(

My Graphs and a look into the source told me about the error: Monitoring 
was delayed between 8am and 5pm. That is exactly the timeperiod i 
defined for workhours. And workhours are cut away from every other 
timeperiod, including 24/7...

I guess i need another cup of coffee... Sorry for the noise on the list!

Try www.nagiosexchange.org - I know there's a check_mem script on there 
to check physical memory usage.

The official Nagios plugins 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/) contains check_sensors 
which I believe will check CPU temperature etc using lmsensors, and 
check_swap and check_disk to check the swap memory and physical storage 
memory usage plus tons more.

This is assuming it's a Unix system you're monitoring.

We have the same kind of design challenge except we could have an
arbitrary number of interfaces on a router to check, some we care about
and some we don't. We resolved it by 'marking' the interface
descriptions in a special way --

Loopback 7
	Description !~#2 
Serial 1/0
	Description !~@ 
Serial 2/0
	Description 
Serial 3/0
	Description !~@ 

!~@ is used on interfaces that we are interested in watching.
!~#x is the total number of interesting interfaces I should see.

I then use snmpwalk to look through ifAlias looking for either. Once
that's done I look at ifOperStatus for each interface marked !~@ for
status. If one is down I append it to the plugin output. Once through I
compare the total seen to the total expected to account for instances
where a card can fail completely. We always exit critical but could exit
on warning if an arbitrary number of interfaces were down. This works
for every interface type I've been interested in except for ISDN
(serial, ether, faste, etc).

Subject: Statusmap.cgi not displaying hosts/icons
Message-ID: 

Hi,

I hope that this is the right forum, and that someone can help.

I cannot get the statusmap.cgi to work in Nagios. I have searched the
web, installed what i think I need and still no luck. When I load the
statusmap.cgi I get a page with the usual headers and information, but
no map. I get different results when I look at the webpage, depending on
whether I select 'User-supplied coords' or Circular. When I look at the
source for the webpage I get this:



This shows that there is an image, but there are no hosts/icons on this
image, it is blank. Additionally if I look at the 'circular' option I
get the following error message:

"You have not supplied any host drawing coordinates, so you cannot use
this layout method."

Unfortunately I have included the coords in the hostextinfo.cfg file.

So I am unsure why no icons/hosts are being drawn. I have compiled
NAGIOS with all the relevant options (I think), and added all the
relevant libraries. Additionally the statusmap.cgi page wont display the
hosts even if I use GIFs or JPEGs. I am lost!! If anyone can help I
would be very grateful.

In the event I cannot get this to work, can anyone suggest any other
tools/apps I can use for generating the statusmap?

Some information regarding my installation

Configure output would be a big help here.

Subject: nagiosgraph and embedded perl
Message-ID: <44F49485.3030602@web.de>

Hi all together,

actually I run Nagios 2.5 and 2.5, Plugins 1.4.2 and nagiosgraph 0.8.2 
on RH EL4

When configuring Nagios without embedded Perl and without perlcache 
(during the configure-stage)
everything including processing perfomance data works well.

When recompiling Nagios (version 2.4 or version 2.5 makes no difference) 
with embedded Perl and perlcache Nagios and all my Plugins works fine, 
but the insert.pl-Script does'nt seem to work any longer. Even with 
debug-Level 5 in nagiosgraph.conf, there is no output in the nagiosgraph.log


There may be a some problem with using embedded perl for insert.pl. Does 
anyone know about such a problem?

PS: Just using a wrapper insert.sh, which just calls insert.pl with all 
the options passed through. everything works fine again. With this 
constructions I just aovided to run insert.pl inside ePN but use the 
standard perl interpreter instead.


Regards,   Peter

I encountered the same problem, and configured Nagios to invoke  
insert.pl as "/usr/bin/perl /insert.pl" instead, as per  
someone's suggestion from long ago to avoid ePN for home-grown Perl  
plugins.

Thanks,

so there may be a principal problem with nagiosgraph and ePN.
Does anyone know a solution?
Does anyone known an other pert-Tool, which doesn't confict with ePn, 
but fills in RRDs?

Subject: are my checks orphaned?
Message-ID: <58cfe2840608291705q4a80a91s14f98c99bd94d0ca@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

Running the latest Dag RPMs on CentOS.

A couple times in the last month, I've had 1-2 service checks that
stop occuring. I see them "stuck" at the top of my Scheduling Queue,
with a "next check" that is in the past and not changing.

I've manually rescheduled the checks to the present time/date and they
start working again.

Is this a symptom of orphaned service checks? Anyone else seen this?
Did you fix it with check_for_orphaned_services=1 ?

Thanks,
Francois Caen

I use nagiosgraph on servers with embedded perl enabled, and haven't run
into this problem.

Hi,
is there any way to build nrpe statically?  I have to deploy across  a
large number of solaris boxes and I don't want to have to install
 openssl on all of them as well.  ./configure --help didn't give  me any
clues :(

Yes and no. We have private IP's routed on our network assigned to the
L7 interface on each router. That way we can always reach the router for
monitoring/maintenance as long as one external interface is up. It was a
convenient place to put the !~#x designation which is the total number
of interfaces with !~@ that should be seen (not necessarily the total
number of interfaces).
 
> Interesting design. Have you released that plugin?

I hadn't considered it as I didn't think the problem to be widespread
and because it requires very specific router configuration. That being
said, we've been using it for over a year and a half now for ~350
routers successfully. Pending a code review I don't think that I would
be opposed to sharing it.

This may be off target but,

if you are using embedded Perl (nagios -v or -m or perhaps you are
using a Dag Wieers RPM) the plugin may not be playing well with
embedded Perl.

If it is embedded Perl, you can either report a bug in the plugin to
the Nag plugins list or stop using embedded Perl.

The quick way to work around the problem if it is ePN is to write a
wrapper shell script like so

#!/bin/sh

exec  $@

# You will need to rename the plugin and worry about whether you want $@ or $*.

HTH.

Subject: Handy tip for distinguishing power from prover
	outages or frivolous rubbish ?
Message-ID: 

Dear Folks,

This may be useless to most but it meets a need for us that others may have.

We buy 'data carriage' from an unreliable carrier in locations where
both power and data services often fail (so badly that even the local
gambling den has all the lights go out in their slot machines).

To help us determine whether a failure is flaky power or flaky
provider, we have an event handler that

1 looks up the FAX number corresp to the host_name (in a DB)

2 forks a process to dial the FAX and if it fails to connect, submits
a passive service check result that power is off at the site.

(The production incarnation is not complete yet so the first cut will
only send an SMS with the FAX number to the on call number so they can
dial it manually).

Lastly, calling the FAX is a well known way of checking power if you
don't have out of band management (hint, it is nice to have). Having
Nagios call it reduces considerably the burden of reacting to alerts
especially with providers that have a huge number of hoops to jump
through before the SLA clock starts to tick.


Yours sincerely.

Subject: timeouts and performance info
Message-ID: <20060830075439.GA7248@eric.schwarzvogel.de>

Hi!

I have the following values in my nagios.cfg:

service_check_timeout=60
host_check_timeout=30
event_handler_timeout=30
notification_timeout=30
ocsp_timeout=5
perfdata_timeout=5

As far as I know, those values are in seconds. What I wonder is
why I still have Service and Host Checks that take longer than
fifteen minutes to complete. This shouldn't be the case the way I
under stand it. Here's my curren perf info:

Active Service Checks:
<= 1 minute:	81 (4.6%)
<= 5 minutes:	1719 (97.4%)
<= 15 minutes:	1727 (97.9%)
<= 1 hour:	1727 (97.9%)
Since program start:  	1727 (97.9%)

and 

Check Execution Time:  	0.00 sec	12.92 sec	0.275 sec
Check Latency:		0.00 sec	204.30 sec	3.043 sec
Percent State Change:	0.00%	15.46%	0.02%

Active Hosts Checks:
<= 1 minute:	0 (0.0%)
<= 5 minutes:	3 (1.2%)
<= 15 minutes:	3 (1.2%)
<= 1 hour:	4 (1.6%)
Since program start:  	27 (10.8%)

and

Check Execution Time:  	0.02 sec	10.05 sec	0.208 sec
Check Latency:		0.00 sec	17.48 sec	0.204 sec
Percent State Change:	0.00%	0.00%	0.00%

Am I the only one seeing a discrepancy here?

The only way I can make sense of this is that the "<= 15 minutes"
means "time from being scheduled to actually starting the
plugin". In that case I wonder what makes it take so long, the
machine should be beefy neough (dual PIV Xeon 2.8Ghz, 2G of RAM).

Any hints/thoughts are appreciated.

Regards, 
Tobias

Subject: Too many warnings and critical in Connectivity
	service(check_ping)
Message-ID: <58c1ea0608300109p5821239fm2ccc121b0e10025e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everybody,

I installed nagios on a Linux Mandriva 2006 monitroting a LAN.

I have many warnings and critical alerts in the connectivity service which
is a command based on check_ping sending 5 packets. The parameters
configured for these alerts are:

        ------ Warning: rtt>300ms, loss>25%(our intention is to receive a
warning with more than 1 packet lost)
        ------ Crticial: time>500 ms, loss=100%

Everytime we receive an alert, within the following minute the system is
recovered from this alert. And those elements which are showing these alerts
are working perfectly. Therefore we don't understand why Nagios is showing
these alerts.
Also we cheked with ethereal these alert events and the information given by
ethereal doesn't match  with the information given by Nagios.

We would appreciate if someone who has had the same problem or if someone
who knows sometihng about this problem could help us.

P.D: Another problem we found using check_fping (instead check_ping) is that
this command doesn't add the sequence number onto the icmp packet which are
sent.


Thank you very much in advance.

Kind Regards

I am not an developer, but try the following:

Subject: passing a $ to nagios
Message-ID: <1156933143.5255.44.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Hey.

I'm trying to monitor some mssql cluster services on windows.
MS obviously think its a good idea to use a $ as a separator in their
names. Ex: mssql$something
I'm having problems passing this to nagios. Tried several forms of
escaping, doubleescaping (with backslashes) and tried " and ' around the
commands both in services.cfg and commands.cfg but no luck as of yet.

I get different results in my output depending on how i use the " and '
and the escapechar. 
Seems nagios recognises the $something as a macro and gives it another $
in the output like this :  $something$ 
If i doubleescape i get : mssql\$ (nothing more)
If i singleescape i get : mssql$ (nothing more)

Subject:    [Nagios-users] passing a $ to nagios

Hey.

I'm trying to monitor some mssql cluster services on windows.
MS obviously think its a good idea to use a $ as a separator in their
names. Ex: mssql$something
I'm having problems passing this to nagios. Tried several forms of
escaping, doubleescaping (with backslashes) and tried " and ' around the
commands both in services.cfg and commands.cfg but no luck as of yet.

I get different results in my output depending on how i use the " and '
and the escapechar.
Seems nagios recognises the $something as a macro and gives it another $
in the output like this :  $something$
If i doubleescape i get : mssql\$ (nothing more)
If i singleescape i get : mssql$ (nothing more)
...regardless of my use of ' and " it seems.


Any clues how to pass this correctly to nagios? Thanks in advance.

Here's what the config looks like:

commands.cfg
------------
define command{
             command_name    check_nt_service
             command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v
SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$
}

services.cfg
------------
define service {
        use generic-service-bk
        service_description SQLPRD01 SQL Service
        check_command check_nt_service!mssql$sqlprd01
        freshness_threshold 600
        process_perf_data 0

Message-ID: <93F0E3CFC1ABB646B8808894FC7CDD250675A3DD@azindbaex01.aztec.soft>


Hi,



I configured the Nagios on Fedora Core 4. I am getting results locally.
I configure another fedora linux as client and configure NRPE. Here also
I am getting all results except the ping.

Here I am getting error "You must specify a server address or host name
"



 I also configured debian linux as client and configure NRPE. Here I am
not getting any results. It gives message "CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes
from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages". On remote
server i.e. debain linux it gives error message: -

Please help me in solving this issue.

Subject: CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check

In-Reply-To: <93F0E3CFC1ABB646B8808894FC7CDD250675A3DD@azindbaex01.aztec.soft>
References: <93F0E3CFC1ABB646B8808894FC7CDD250675A3DD@azindbaex01.aztec.soft>
Message-ID: <44F57D99.2080009@mailnetwork.co.uk>

By default on NRPE you are not allowed to use commandline arguments, 
that is - passing something like "check_nrpe -H debianserver -p 5666 -c 
check_ping!$HOSTADDRESS$", and having in your nrpe.cfg 
"command[check_ping]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $ARG1$".

This is dangerous in that a client connecting to the daemon could 
execute an aribitrary command against check_ping (consider this: a 
hacker sends "127.0.0.1 && rm -rf /" as an argument to check_ping, and 
your system will execute "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 
127.0.0.1 && rm -f /")

Therefore command arguments are disabled in NRPE by default, so you 
would have to hard-code your checks on the local machine. (e.g. 
command[check_ping]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H localhost), 
and simply use "check_nrpe -H debianserver -p 5666 -c check_ping".

If you are aware of the danger, have applied appropriate connection 
limitations (i.e. firewalling, changing nrpe port, only allowing certain 
IPs to connect) and want to use command arguments, then you have to add 
an extra command to the ./configure line of the NRPE on the client and 
enable a command argument setting in nrpe.cfg. You'll have to read 
nrpe.cfg for the details as I cannot remember off-hand what they are.

Subject: reset 'service details' when restarting Nagios
Message-ID: <5aaf39590608300603w555c3419s78bef9e38898df39@mail.gmail.com>

Hey,

I just upgraded nagios 1.*. to  nagios 2.5., This works fine.
Is it possible to reset the 'service details' when I restart Nagios?

I changed the path of my plugins but when I restart Nagios, all my services
are still "Critical".Nagios didn't do any update?

Regards,
Joost

The timeouts above apply from when a particular plugin starts to when it
completes (check execution time). As noted below, this time on average
for you is 12.92 seconds. They don't affect when a plugin is scheduled
to run.

This seems mostly normal for a 5 minute check_interval. The small
difference between the 5 and 15 minute counts is normal as checks may be
just starting to execute or still in progress at the 5 minute mark. It
does appear that you have some number of services that are not scheduled
for execution or are executing at really long intervals. Look at Service
Detail and sort by last check. Re-examine your configuration for those
services that do not appear to be scheduled properly.

Looks pretty good to me. The high max check latency number may have been
a one-off event. If that number regularly changes and is always very
high then you might want to verify that you're not starving nagios for
check by running /path/to/nagios/bin/nagios -s
/path/to/nagios/etc/nagios and make sure you meet or exceed it's
recommended values.

These look normal and expected. You've had 27 service failures since
program start necessitating host checks.

The only discrepancy I see is likely due to configuration. You probably
have check intervals or timeperiods misconfigured for ~30 services.

Check Latency is that number. On average nagios is able to run your
checks within 3.043 seconds of when they are scheduled to run. The
number you are referring to is just a simple count of the number of
plugins that have been run in that time interval.

I have a few services that are disabled entirely (don't check
actively, don't accept passive checks). Would they count in the
above statistic? They seem to fit in with the missing 2.1%
(100-97.9). Also, I saw a few checks that were last run about ~20
minutes ago. Those are log checks via NRPE that complete within
<1s (no noticeable delay) if run directly on the machine (as user
nagios of course). It seems acceptable (and I neither know why it
would take 20 minutes nor how to find out why), so I'm willing to
let it slide ;).

I guessed as much for the one-off event. It doesn't change, so I
feel somewhat safe. As for the recommended values (-s), Nagios
says it's okay the way it is.

That is in line with what I'd expect.

About that number of services are disabled entirely right now, so
if they count into the statistic, it explains the figures.

So it means "in the last N minutes, this many services completed"
and *not* "this many services needed N minutes to complete (from
being started to delivering the retval)"? That would be an eye
opener for me :)

Tobias

Subject: (No output!) Nagios 2.5
Message-ID: 

Thank you Andy,

The problem happens with embedded Perl and without. I have also had it
happen with a check written in C++ now. I have tried recompiling and
installing Nagios with and without embedded Perl and I still get the
same problem. I am thinking of installing Nagios 2.4 and seeing if I
still have the problem. 

Right now I am only having the problem with two checks. One person
suggested to me to make sure that the script is outputting on standard
out and not error and I will be investigating that today.

This may be off target but,

if you are using embedded Perl (nagios -v or -m or perhaps you are
using a Dag Wieers RPM) the plugin may not be playing well with
embedded Perl.

If it is embedded Perl, you can either report a bug in the plugin to
the Nag plugins list or stop using embedded Perl.

The quick way to work around the problem if it is ePN is to write a
wrapper shell script like so

#!/bin/sh

exec  $@

# You will need to rename the plugin and worry about whether you want $@
or $*.

HTH.

Hi Ranjeet

Can you post your command string for this plugin and similarly the 
host/service that uses this command?
I'm using exactly the same versions as you except it's on Fedora 5, and 
not had a problem (both local and remote commands.) Mine are as follows:

Command definition:

define command {
command_name Check_PING
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $ARG1$ -p 10 -w 
500,50% -c 1000,100%
}

In the host definitions:

check_command Check_PING!$HOSTADDRESS$

Regards

Andy.

That is a correct interpretation.

Subject: How Expect plugin woks under Nagios
Message-ID: <20060830173301.C8629E60DCA@mail.t-online.hu>

Hi!

I wrote an expect plug-in to check PIX startup config checksum.

It works from command line when I started it as nagios user.

But it does not work from Nagios.

Does anybody have any experience with expect plugins?

Thanks in advance, Tamas!

Hello,

I have an archive htpasswd.users at the /usr/local/nagios/etc directory and
when I remove the line 'default_user_name' at the cgi.cfg archive and I try
to logging in the Nagios with a user, it shows me the follow message: Logged

Thanks,

Subject: nagios-1.4.1 vs nagios 2-5 logging
Message-ID: <1156965903.21816.13.camel@localhost>

Hello,

I am running nagios-1.4.1 as well as nagios-2.5.

In the nagios-1.4.1 logfile, i have some entries like:

[1156965483] Warning:  Message queue contained results for service 'SM Daemon' on host 'sedna16-b'.  The service could not be found!

I need to know if there is the same logging in nagios-2.5, because i
need it to auto-configure a service when it isn't configured yet, when
new servers gets into the cluster. These service results came in by
syslog-ng directly to central nagios, and with a script that parses the
log, it would be easy to create a service entry and reload nagios
configs.

Does anyone knows about this logging feature of nagios-2.5?

TIA,

Marcel

Is the user you are logging in with configured as a Nagios contact?

Subject: Force notification?
Message-ID: <01b301c6cc72$1df56f80$9600000a@peter>

 have read as much doc on notifications as I can find. Everything refers to the idea that Nagios will send notifications for hosts or service that experience a HARD state change. Well, Ok... but I want to monitor a service, say a process by name on an nrpe monitored server. If the number of that named process drops below X I want to get a notification. Is this possible or is there some way that I can force that situation to CREATE a HARD state change? I always see it in the logs as a SOFT change and of course, no notification.

Any advice very much welcome.

I'm sure others may have more information, but in order to create a
notification you need to "create" a hard state change. Having said that,
you would need to run some sort of check command that would check what
you wanted, in your case it would be a number of named process.

I'm afraid I can't be much help other than to say "me too".  I played

I was hoping someone else had had some luck getting it to work...

Well... I have nrpe running on the box where I want this process monitored. So perhaps I didn't explain well enough. The check I need for the named process is easy enough using check_nrpe/nrpe and the check_total_procs plugin with the -c "command name" for the process itself.  So the check is working fine but even when it fails basd on my threshold values for the # of these processes I want to see, the state change is only SOFT - critical. 

Does that make more sense?

Thanks...

The change becomes HARD after max_check_attempts, no?  So just set
max_check_attempts to 1.

Check your .htaccess file in the ~nagios/sbin directory. Make sure it's
readable by your web server and looks like the documentation.

Actually I forgot that the new recommended approach if via httpd.conf
configuration entirely. Make sure that you have the relevant httpd.conf
entries for your sbin directory as indicated at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installweb.html and have
restarted your web server.

I haven't run into this problem yet,  and have check_for_orphaned_services=0
in my config.

Is it always the same service or machine/host?

No, different services/hosts, but it seems to occur mostly (and maybe
exclusively) with checks that are failing while the host is down.

Yep. They work as well as TCL/Expect in my dull hands can be 'expected' to.

My suggestion is you don't want the pain of spawn, send, expect partic
with the quoting nightmare and TCL to boot.

Have a look at Net::Telnet::Cisco eg to pluck out DTP negotiation from trunks


  $x = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(         Host    => $sw,
                                        Timeout => $TIMEOUT,
                                        Errmode => 'return',
                                        $debug ? (Input_Log => *STDERR)  : (),
                                ) or
    do {
      warn qq<## Net::Telnet::Cisco constructor failed for "$sw",
timed out connecting to device.> ;
      next
    } ;

  unless ( $x->login(Password => $pw) ) {
    warn qq<## Net::Telnet::Cisco login method failed for "$sw".> ;
  } else {
    print "$sw.\n" ;
    print "$sw Enable.\n" ;
    unless ( $x->enable($epw) ) {
      warn qq<## Net::Telnet::Cisco enable method failed for "$sw".> ;
    } else {
      print "$sw conf t.\n" ;
      $x->cmd("conf t") ;
      $x->cmd("int Gi $if") ;
      $x->cmd("switchport mode trunk") ;
      $x->cmd("switchport nonegotiate") ;
      $x->cmd("exit") ;
      $x->cmd("exit") ;
      $x->cmd("quit") ;
    }
  }

}

If you really don't like Perl, then other alternatives are

1 Python Expect

2 Rancid clogin.

I'm not a developer either :)  I have tried what you suggested here is
the output from configure-

LDFLAGS="-static" ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C

Thanks

Works for me.

Nagios ago.

Hello fellows

I have been struggling with monitoring IBM servers using check_snmp and 
a lot of diffrent OID's but I fail to provide a good monitoring...

It would be really nice if there were a plugin for IBM like the 
check_compaq_insight.pl available in the contrib section of nagiosplugins.

Any takers? Im willing to pay for it

As the website says, hobbitmon is an development based on bigbrother, 
adding graphs and reporting.

When you compare it to nagios, you should have a look to the 'reporting' 
section in nagios' navigation on the left.

Nagios itself is not capable of diffencing between more than 4 states 
(ok, warning, critical, unknown), the reporting can only tell you 
something about availability of a host or service. For long term graphs, 
you have to extend your nagios installation with an addon like 
NagiosGrapher, PerfParse etc. - have a look at 
http://www.nagiosexchange.org.

Marcus Fleige

go and look in your nagios.cfg file for which config files it's actually 
using, I don't think most people use minimal, but you won't know until 
you look there.

then find the service definition and change line

notification_interval           0

to

notification_interval           60

to have it email you once an hour when a service is down (assuming you 
haven't changed the default interval length in nagios.cfg)


That should sort it

Subject: Number of Notifications!?
Message-ID: <308D3417BAD2104895AE72D879B815B6029891AC@stsstomail01.softronic.se>

Hi!
thanks for a fast answer!
Here are the configfiles i`m using
 
# Plugin commands (service and host check commands)
# Arguments are likely to change between different releases of the
# plugins, so you should use the same config file provided with the
# plugin release rather than the one provided with Nagios.
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg
 
# Misc commands (notification and event handler commands, etc)
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg
 
# You can split other types of object definitions across several
# config files if you wish (as done here), or keep them all in a
# single config file.
 
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/minimal.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/escalations.cfg
 
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
 
# Extended host/service info definitions are now stored along with
# other object definitions:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg
 
I will try this now....i`ll let you know if it works:)
 
Thanks
Lelle

?mne: Re: [Nagios-users] Number of Notifications!?


go and look in your nagios.cfg file for which config files it's actually using, I don't think most people use minimal, but you won't know until you look there.

then find the service definition and change line 

notification_interval           0

to 

notification_interval           60

to have it email you once an hour when a service is down (assuming you haven't changed the default interval length in nagios.cfg)


That should sort it

Hello
I'm having the same problem monitoring our IBM AIX5.3 servers.
Currently using check_snmp to monitor a few things but really need to be
able to do more.

Hi Andy,



In my case I used the following configuration : -



# 'check_ping' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check_ping

        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$ -p 5

        }



In service definition: -

check_command
check_nrpe!check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%



Please help me in solving this issue.



Thanks,

Ranjeet



Hi Ranjeet



Can you post your command string for this plugin and similarly the

host/service that uses this command?

I'm using exactly the same versions as you except it's on Fedora 5, and

not had a problem (both local and remote commands.) Mine are as follows:



Command definition:



define command {

command_name Check_PING

command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $ARG1$ -p 10 -w

500,50% -c 1000,100%

}



In the host definitions:



check_command Check_PING!$HOSTADDRESS$



Regards



Andy.

Subject: Nagios - Ping - You must specify a server

Hi Ranjeet,

I see you're trying to use check_nrpe to pass the arguments of 
check_ping to?  It's a case of what exactly are you trying to do here?  
There are 2 things I can see you're trying to do:

1. Ping host $HOSTADDRESS$ from the Nagios machine
2. Send a request via NRPE to another machine to ask it to ping 
$HOSTADDRESS$ and send the result back to the Nagios machine

However you're trying to pass "check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%" as 
arguments to check_nrpe - can you post your check_nrpe command_line as well?

Note that on the machine that's running the NRPE daemon, you must have 
the check_ping command configured, and if you want to be able to pass 
arguments to the NRPE daemon, you must have configured it correctly (see 
the nrpe.cfg file.)

Post your check_nrpe command on yuor Nagios machine, and also your 
nrpe.cfg file from the client.

Andy.

Subject: check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be

Ranjeet,

Only just got this e-mail after I'd replied!

OK this is what's happening. Firstly, check_ping on your Nagios machine 
is ignored by nrpe - as that contains it's own command definitions. So, 
here:
command[check_ping]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H $ARG1$ -w 
$ARG2$ -c $AGR3$ -p 5

it's expecting the hostname as argument 1, the warning threshold as 
argument 2 and the critical threshold as argument 3. (depending on what 
your check_nrpe command reads (something like "check_nrpe -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c $ARG1$"), what Nagios is actually passing is:

"check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%", so your client machine is reading the 
host (argument 1) as 100.0,20%, the warning threshold (argument 2) as 
500.0,60% and the critical threshold as blank.

Also notice your typo in command[check_ping]: $AGR3$ should be $ARG3$

Hi!
thanks for a fast answer!
Here are the configfiles i`m using
 
# Plugin commands (service and host check commands)
# Arguments are likely to change between different releases of the
# plugins, so you should use the same config file provided with the
# plugin release rather than the one provided with Nagios.
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg
 
# Misc commands (notification and event handler commands, etc)
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg
 
# You can split other types of object definitions across several
# config files if you wish (as done here), or keep them all in a
# single config file.
 
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/minimal.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/escalations.cfg
 
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
 
# Extended host/service info definitions are now stored along with
# other object definitions:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg
 
I will try this now....i`ll let you know if it works:)
 
Thanks
Lelle

?mne: Re: [Nagios-users] Number of Notifications!?


go and look in your nagios.cfg file for which config files it's actually using, I don't think most people use minimal, but you won't know until you look there.

then find the service definition and change line 

notification_interval           0

to 

notification_interval           60

to have it email you once an hour when a service is down (assuming you haven't changed the default interval length in nagios.cfg)


That should sort it

Message-ID: <20060831135849.84D764F4045@desire.netways.de>

Hi list



I've spent most of the last week googling for the solution to a
 problem we're having with Nagios 2.4. All of our checks work fine,
 apart from our one mysql_query check, which keeps returning "No
 output!" in Nagios. Even when I change the password to the wrong
 password, Nagios returns "No output!". When run manually as a standard
 user, as nagios or as root however, the check command returns the
 correct reply (QUERY OK). A workmate also wrote a script to run
 the check and check it's return value, and this also returned a
 0. 

I understand there is a patch for embedded Perl producing this "No
 output!", but the check commands are not Perl. 



The command definition is: 

# 'check_mysql_query' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check_mysql_query

        command_line    $USER1$/check_mysql_query -q $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$
 -d $ARG3$ -H $HOSTALIAS$ -u $ARG4$ -p $ARG5$

        }

Here is the check_command taken from the service definition: 

check_mysql_query!"select count(ProductName) from Products where
 ProductID=1;"!1!database!username!password



Is there anything we can do to fix this?

I'm monitoring a couple of 5.3 boxen with Cacti (nothing in Nagios
other than a ping) and it works okay... the AIX snmp implementation
isn't much fun though, and to view more of the MIB you'll need to
enable it. I had more luck with v3 than v1.

Might look at upgrading snmp...?

Message-ID: <9c98ad650608310706m6a92cf7dw2a9f75c5a7751abd@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all, i'm a bit lost here and i need some help.

I need to setup a nagios monitoring environement with high
avaliability and load balancing. When i was ressearching this i first
considered the option of doing it with nsca and just submiting the
checks passively to my visualization servers.

Other option i considered was just configuring the checks on the
visualization servers and run nrpe on the monitorization servers and
let them handle the checks on demand, don't know if this is possible
but in this case i could use a standard tcp load balancing setup. I
had a good feeling about this but never tried it.

After some ressearch i found about ndoutils and read that by nagios
3.0 we should have a php based front-end, etc etc.. So i setup a
fairly simple environment with nagios 2.5 and ndotuils and i the
database is getting well populated, however, and i may have missed
something here, the visualization part of nagios doesn't seem to do
anything with the database. So is this funcionality not done yet? I
wanted to follow this route because it would mean that the upgrade to
3.0 wouldn't be as hard. Am i wrong thinking this? Is there any way to
get this to work currently? I tried nagios-cvs but it seems to be the
same.

So i'm stuck. Should i just ditch ndo and go with the nrpe setup for
the time being? Any pitfalls anyone wants to share?

cheers
George

Hi,

I have a difficult customer who won't sign off changes based on the security
risk using suid plugins, for example, check_logfiles. What does one do about
this situation?

Hi,

I also have this problem.  I'd like my users to have different rights 
dependent on their login name, but I can't use anything unless 
"default_user_name" is set, and then it always assumes the role of the 
default user.
I've got a htpasswd.users file in /usr/local/nagios/etc which is 
readable and writeable by nagios, and readable to the webserver group.

All users are authenticated via an SQL authentication module, and basic 
authentication succeeds, so I can't see this would make a difference.  
Here's my SQL authentication configuration from Apache.  Note that 
AuthUserFile needs to be /dev/null or it will circumvent the SQL 
authentication and take the password from AuthUserFile instead of the 
database.  It is company policy that all users are authenticated from 
this database.

Note that basic authentication works - it seems to be Nagios is not 
reading the logged in user ID.

An example user is "andyshellam."  Which field in the contacts 
configuration needs to match the authenticated user ID?

Here are my configuration files (sensitive values replaced with 
bracketed expressions):

*/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd_auth.conf*

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
Auth_PG_host (DB_HOSTNAME)
Auth_PG_port (DB_PORT)
Auth_PG_user (DB_USER)
Auth_PG_pwd (DB_PASSWORD)
Auth_PG_database (DB_NAME)
Auth_PG_pwd_table (DB_USERS_TABLE)
Auth_PG_uid_field (DB_USER_ID_COLUMN)
Auth_PG_pwd_field (DB_PASSWORD_COLUMN)
Require valid-user

*/usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users*

andyshellam:(PASSWORD)

*/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagcfg/contacts.cfg*

define contactgroup {
        contactgroup_name               NetServe
        alias                           NetServe Business and Customer 
Support
        members                         andyshellam
}

define contact {
        contact_name                    andyshellam
        alias                           andyshellam
        service_notification_period     always
        host_notification_period        always
        host_notification_options       d,u,r,f
        host_notification_commands      Send_HostAlert
        service_notification_options    w,u,r,f,c
        service_notification_commands   Send_ServiceAlert
        email                           (EMAIL_ADDRESS)

}

Many thanks

Subject: SMART hard-disk monitoring
Message-ID: <44F6F255.7080100@mailnetwork.co.uk>

Has anyone got a check plugin working for monitoring SMART hard disk 
status thresholds?

The only one I found on nagiosexchange (check_smartmon) needs to be run 
as root to get permission to read the drive stats, and also doesn't work 
- it causes the below Python trace-back:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./check_smartmon", line 254, in ?
    (healthStatus, temperature) = parseOutput(healthStatusOutput, 
temperatureOutput)
  File "./check_smartmon", line 163, in parseOutput
    healthStatus = parts[-1]
IndexError: list index out of range


I've just ran smartctl and it appears you do need to be root, so if I 
can find a working plugin I can just sudo the nagios user.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Andy.

as someone suggested, investigate flap detection. I haven't looked at 
this myself since I have always had this working consistently, unless 
the thing times out or the service is rebooted or something.

you may also want to look at the timeout option that most plugins 
provide, perhaps it doesn't get a response in the time and this flags 
critical, which may appear as flapping and may explain why you get 
emails every few mins instead of once every hour or two...

you could try running the check manually a lot of times and finding if 
it does occasionally fail for any reason. You can script this in Bash (I 
love that) or in something else you know, Perl or Python.... save the 
results to a log file to see what the returns are over time. If you 
timestamp each log entry then you can compare the emails you're getting 
against the log to see if the check was succeeding at that point. Or you 
could try the nagios history first off to compare.

If the service really is flapping then you need to fix that, not nagios.

food for thought.

tell the muppet customer that sudo is safer and was designed for this 
purpose. No other account can use the command with the elevated 
privilege and that no other user can use that account, especially if you 
lock it and /bin/false it as well for 2 level protection that the 
account can't be used by anybody (apart from root, by which point you're 
already hosed and that will be the least of your worries).

And then -don't- use sudo to run the script, but use sudo to run the  
actual command that's needed to read the logfile. Possibly even  
defining the actual arguments that will be given to the command. It's  
a bitch when it comes to upkeep, but it is the safest way of going  
about this...

Using a suid script is asking for trouble... Anyone could change the  
script to read "rm -rf /*"

Cheers!

yeah well that was implied in the go learn how to use sudo properly hint...

sorry I should have been more explicit in that. Only sudo the specific 
command (ie the plugin itself) and only for the one user. Done.

Subject: Making passive checks notify like active
	checks--race condition?
Message-ID: 

We want our passive checks to notify like active checks.  What if we make a
plugin which does nothing but report the current state (and description) of
a service?  Define it like this in checkcommands.cfg:
define command{
    command_name   repeater
    command_line   $USER1$/repeater_homebrew $SERVICESTATEID$ $SERVICEOUTPUT$
}

and the plugin itself is brain dead:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh

exit=$1
shift

echo $*
exit $exit
--------------------

We run this plugin as an *active* check so that we get the notification
behavior we want and then a passive check to actually check the service and
submit results.

Are there any problems with this?  It seems like there could be a race
condition in which the active check starts running, the passive check
submits results that for the service that indicate a state change, and then
the active check returns its results and nobody ever knows about the state
change the passive check was trying to report.

It seems to depend on how Nagios is coded.  I know a little C but I'm sure
it would take me a long long time to figure out this detail :)

Thanks!  And Thanks for Nagios which is awesome!

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here, but passive checks
*do* notify like active checks.

Maybe you just need to set max_check_attempts to "1" in your service
definition?

They notify once when the state changes but they don't continue to notify
like active checks do.  Either that or we're on drugs and have hosed up our
configuration :)

Have you set up authentication for both the HTML pages *and* the CGIs?

What do you mean by this? Notifications work exactly the same for both
active and passive checks.

I solved this problem creating a .htaccess archive at the
/usr/local/nagios/bin... Then I configured the minimal.cfg archive defining
the contacts with the htpasswd.users archive's users...

For us, passive services only notify once per state change.  It's been that
way ever since we started using Nagios 1.x.  We're running 2.2 now (soon to
be 2.5).

I'll be happy to be told we're just dumb and our config is wrong :)  I have
tried and tried to find a problem in our configuration that causes this.
Several threads on the -user list suggest other people have had the same
problem.

We use a service template (below) for both active checks and passive
checks.  The only difference being that for passive checks we set these:
    active_checks_enabled   0
    passive_checks_enabled  1
    max_check_attempts      1

Our service template:
define service{
        name                            generic-service ; The 'name' of this service template
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           15
        retry_check_interval            1
        notification_interval           15
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,c,u,r
        notifications_enabled           1       ; Service notifications are enabled
        active_checks_enabled           1       ; Active service checks are enabled
        passive_checks_enabled          1       ; Passive service checks are enabled/accepted
        parallelize_check               1       ; Active service checks should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance problems)
        obsess_over_service             1       ; We should obsess over this service (if necessary)
        check_freshness                 0       ; Default is to NOT check service 'freshness'
        event_handler_enabled           1       ; Service event handler is enabled
        flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is enabled
        failure_prediction_enabled      1       ; Failure prediction is enabled

        retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status information across program restarts
        register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }

Ok, I created a contact group ... but now I want that the users, when logged
in, see only the hosts that I allowed. Is it possible??

Thanks,
Rodrigo.

That's what Nagios does by default.

  Andy.
 I've attached the check_smart we use.  I think it's a barely modified 
version of the one that comes with the nagios plugins.       In the 
script we use the output of /sbin/sfdisk -s to find out which scsi disks 
are on the local box because we ran into problems using the output of 
scsiinfo.    So our sudoers file is configured to allow the nagios user 
to run /sbin/sfisk -s and /usr/sbin/smartctl.

  This works for us.  Hope it helps.

Subject: unique computers in a hostgroup
Message-ID: <1157047704.4674.8.camel@atari.localhost>

Hello, I'm new to the list and had a rather quick question.

I have nagios2 installed on a debian testing system, and it's monitoring
a hostgroup for each cabinet I monitor (currently have only one cabinet
of 42 U's setup). I have three service checks set up for this group
(cabinet1) which are http, ftp, and disk space. The problem comes up
with a few machines (3) that do not have ftp set up, so nagios is
constantly returning a critical error. I need to make exceptions in this
group for those systems.. and when I start adding things like mysql
checks, and custom plugins, I need to make some systems that don't have
mysql and such things on them.

Is this possible?

Subject: unique computers in a hostgroup
Message-ID: 

I have the same issue, where I have a large main group, say
mysql-servers, and some run ntpd while others run xntpd.  I have had to
set up different groups which I name accordingly -- mysql-servers-ntp
and mysql-servers-xntpd.  In the case of one group of servers, I have 7
different 'custom' groups to take into account different computers.

This is extremely cumbersome, as nearly every group has exceptions.  :-)
If anyone has a better more elegent method of dealing with this, than
please please speak up.

Janet

Here you're telling nagios to notify for every check received that is not OK. Your normal_check_interval is 1 so you receive a notification every minute when the service is not OK. Remove this line or set it to 0.

You should first verify that nagios is running the command you expect it
is. Change your command definition to be --

define command{
        command_name    check_mysql_query
        command_line    echo '$USER1$/check_mysql_query -q $ARG1$ -w
$ARG2$
 -d $ARG3$ -H $HOSTALIAS$ -u $ARG4$ -p $ARG5$' >>/tmp/nagios.check.log
        }

Examine the contents of /tmp/nagios.check.log after a failed run to
verify it's what you expect. Try running the command exactly as it's
shown in /tmp/nagios.check.log as the nagios user.

  Andy.
  The output if their is a problem will look like this.   The 
notification will only include the device that is in a down state.

***** Nagios *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: DiskDrives
Host: the.name.of.host
Address: the.name.of.host
State: CRITICAL

Date/Time: Thu Aug 17 09:55:02 PDT 2006

Documentation: https://where.the.docs.be

Additional Info:

DOWN=(/dev/sdg)




  I believe this plugin can only detect when a drive is down and wont do 
much for predicting when a failure is going to happen soon.

  Hope this helps.

$ cat /usr/local/share/doc/nagios-plugins/README.OpenBSD
Some nagios plugins need elevated privileges to run properly. As the code
quality of these plugins is not really good, they are not installed suid
root by default, but instead I suggest running them with systrace's
privilege elevation feature. This way they are run as _nagios, but single
syscalls are run as root.

1) Create a preliminary systrace policy for the plugin.

# cd ${PREFIX}/libexec/nagios
# systrace -A -d /tmp ./ 

This creates a policy for the plugin  in /tmp.

2) Refine the policy and configure privilege elevation as required. This
is an example, permitting the bind(2) syscall as root.

native-bind: sockaddr eq "inet-[0.0.0.0]:68" then permit as root

3) Copy the systrace policy to /etc/systrace.

4) Run visudo as root and configure sudo for user _nagios like this.

_nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/systrace -a -c 550\:550 \
    ${PREFIX}/libexec/nagios/ 

5) Configure the respective command in nagios.

define command {
        command_name check_dhcp
        command_line sudo /bin/systrace -a -c 550:550 $USER1$/

}

6) In case of problems, systrace will log to /var/log/messages.

Regards


		Julien
