Read the documentation on your unix system and make sure the mail command on the system is able to send out email messages. Once you got that part working you can propably use the default nagios sections to send out notifications. A recent Linux distribution should have email working in this minimal fashion out of the box. Solaris and other systems should have similar arrangements but you should consult the OS documentation to be sure. I suggest you go ahaead and report specific issues if you run into them. But I also suggest you take 5 minutes to check with your favorite search engine in such event to look for the obvious answers first.

The 2D and 3D maps use different image formats. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#hostextinfo This part of the documentation also explains how to use coordinates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

It's an inductive current probe, so would require no direct electrical connection that could possibly void the warranty of any of your equipment. Output is via RS232, they specify the "TrendReader" software for Windows to interface with the device. Devices like this usually output in some plain-text format. So, it's probably worth contacting the manufacturer and asking them for specs on the data output format. We use the excellent TempTrax probe recommended by nagios.org, to monitor out data center temperatures. It also outputs its temperature data via RS232. So if you've got a working knowledge of C, it should be a pretty easy exercise to modify the TempTrax nagios check, to work with a device like the one above. Maybe someone else on the list can offer a more turnkey solution, but hopefully this is at least some food for thought! -- Robert King - Ingenta, Inc.

For those who didn't catch it, I was asking if anybody knows a good tutorial or two ( or three ;) ) on how to setup distributed monitoring using Nagios 2.5 and NRPE. I run it on Centos 4.3. I currently have an ok setup, with about 40 hosts and 60+ services. However, a new router will be installed in 2 weeks time and I am contemplating changing the centralized to distributed monitoring if firewall issued will get in the way. Even if we can get the firewall right, I think distributed monitoring would also be needed on some. If anyone knows some good tutorials or articles, please post the links. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance, > Fred With web authentication enabled, Nagios will only show hosts and services for which logged in users are contacts so that seems to fit your needs. If you don't want these users to receive notifications, set their notification_period to none. I'm not sure if this matters but those users will have the full functionality of Nagios as it relates to their hosts and services. This means that they'll be able to reschedule checks, acknowledge problems, etc. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I'm trying to use e-mails sent to my cell phone's address to receive real-time notifications from Nagios. Through trial and error, and a bit of Googling, I've found that e-mails under 160 characters are sent to my phone as SMS messages. These SMS messages arrive very quickly. Messages greater than this size are sent as MMS (multimedia) messages and are delayed for anywhere from 10 minutes to many hours. They're also typically billed as 4-5 messages by my cellular service provider. I'd like to know if it's possible to send out two types of notifications: 1) an abbreviated one that will always be under 160 characters, which I would send only to mobile devices, and 2) the standard notifications that I receive now to my regular (non cell phone) e-mail address. I suppose it may be possible to configure Postfix to truncate messages to certain addresses. Before I go in that direction I thought I'd run it by some other users to see if Nagios itself has this ability.

Well, it took a little longer due to other things acting up elsewhere. As far as I can tell, it works perfectly - except... We use NagiosGrapher to turn the perfdata into nice little colorful thingies for the app developers. Unfortunately, NG seems to not work well with the patch: It thinks "foo:r" is the group of the same name, not the group "foo". This will probably be easy to fix in a generic way (i.e. drop everything after the last ":") and a little more complicated if the perms should be parsed (though I have no idea what perms would be needed for the graph: n or x only would prevent the user to see the host/service (and thus the extinfo link) in the first place. And preventing "r" users from seeing the graphs doesn't make much sense, IMO). Thus, I'll probably patch NG to just ignore the perms. I'll post the patch here (if it's not too ugly ;)) > Thanks, again (all of you). I can only re-iterate that.

What am I doing wrong? I expect it's an invalid assumption. The notification command really has no relationship with service check_command in this regard. $USERn$ macros are global and static, $ARGn$ macros are variable and highly specific to the command being called. I would expect that for every command executed that the $ARGn$ macros are reset to prevent accidental intermingling of values. They're set specifically for the service check to the ones you pass in the check_command for the service and reset again to nothing when the notification command is called since you (likely) don't use any in your contact's service_notification_commands. Another way to look at it by example -- define contact{ contact_name marc ... service_notification_commands notify-by-email-test!foo!bar } In the case above I would expect for the notification that $ARG1$ is foo and $ARG2$ is bar.

Multiple notification commands should be separated by commas. All notification commands are executed when the contact needs to be notified. The maximum amount of time that a notification command can run is controlled by the notification_timeout option. This says it's a list of the "short names of the commands". However, I find the behavior reasonable given the syntax you employ.

I have an external script to use the check_nagios plugin to make sure nagios itself is running. I have this cronned to run every 10 minutes and if nagios is found to not be running then I get an email warning me of this. The problem I'm having is that every single night at midnight exactly I always get an email saying that nagios is not running, the explanation being the output of the plugin as follows: NAGIOS CRITICAL: Cannot parse Nagios log file for valid time This is followed by several Recovery Alert emails for a handful of the 112 services I currently monitor reporting that the service is ok. This is strange because I never received any Alert emails that the services were down. I suspect there is nothing wrong with the services at all but this is a nagios quirk or some bug in my configuration or the way I am doing things. This occurs every single night.

NC_NEt does not wait a full second for this to happen, and in the current inplementation it is actually too quick between samples and thus gives a result of 0. I have experimented with different delay times (in Miliseconds) and found a good speed/accuraccy compromise that I will implement as adjustable variable in the configuration of the next release of NC_NEt. Note: NC_NEt would report a -1 if the it could not locate the counter because of an error or spelling. but a 0 means really 0 or the above mentioned bug. Just to defend NC_NEt. in the past, this bug slipped through due to the Performance counter documentation of Dot NEt specifying just to call the get sample function again, and the documentation failed to mention any standards as to a minimum delay between requests. Also most of NC_NEt testing in the past has been done offline of Nagios. I am about to install nagios for testing, and hopefully would have that running by the time I get the updates into NC_Net. As a workaround you may be able to retrieve the value you need through WMI or by creating a custom performance counter that is of a different type but gets its value from the one that is mis-informing NC_NEt. NC_NEt is availible at sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net If it was a different Windows Client then I do not know the source of the reason but next generation of NC_Net should work more efficiently.

Also most of NC_NEt testing in the past has been done offline of Nagios. I am about to install nagios for testing, and hopefully would have that running by the time I get the updates into NC_Net. As a workaround you may be able to retrieve the value you need through WMI or by creating a custom performance counter that is of a different type but gets its value from the one that is mis-informing NC_NEt. NC_NEt is availible at sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net If it was a different Windows Client then I do not know the source of the reason but next generation of NC_Net should work more efficiently.

I think that the best thing to do is to make it run at 9,19,29 etc minutes in the crontab. This gives nagios some time to write a new file after the switch. I will see if the 5,15,25 is enough tonight and if not then I will try the 9s. If that doesn't work then I will use your idea to properly debug this. I think that we've worked out the cause, now let's just see if the fix is equally as simple. One thing I'm not sure about is why several services always send me Recovery Alert emails though when there was no Problem Alert email. It's obviously the same cause but I'm not sure how to fix that. The nagios checking script that I have cronned is really independent of the service check which nagios itself does. So the rescheduling of the cron may fix the nagios not running email that I get at midnight but it's unlikely to fix the service notification problem at midnight since this is within nagios itself.... -h Hari Sekhon Sloane, Robert Raymond wrote: > Just for fun, have the script copy the log file somewhere else just > before it checks it.

If it is ePN, it certainly isn't in the TIEHANDLE sub (which only runs when ePN loads - once when Nagios starts). It's unimpressive that the error is so poorly reported. The problem is almost certainly with plugin. What I think is happening is that what the plugin writes (to STDOUT) when it reports a CRITICAL, contains some undefined values (when the plugin calls print, the tied file handle results in the p1.pl PRINT sub being called. All PRINT does is concatenate all the args into a string and append it to the tied object). (here's a demo [sh1517 at acisf011 standardise_router_configs]$ cat x #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict ; my @x = (undef, 1, undef, 2) ; print join(" ", @x), "\n" ; [sh1517 at acisf011 standardise_router_configs]$ perl x Use of uninitialized value in join or string at x line 7. Use of uninitialized value in join or string at x line 7. 1 2 [sh1517 at acisf011 standardise_router_configs]$ ) If you can simulate or reproduce the event that causes the problem, try to inspect the values of the variables that the plugin outputs before it exits with the CRITICAL. You should see the problem - but it will be reported differently - with or without ePN. ePN could and maybe should be modified to not die when print is called with undef elements. On the other hand, Perl with strict always complains and since ePN alwats runs with strict, you see the complaints (assuming that is really the cause of the problem).

Frankly. I strongly doubt it wether any service should return a load of information, like you indicate, on an overview list. What use is a list of a 1000 services if you need a page per service? That is not a list. (It is a book.) You want to put that sort of detail in an extended service page that one can look into if one starts to focus on that service.

But this is a MUST for me. If you have a MUST with Nagios it is time to either code it yourself or start getting your checkbook and find someone to do the coding for you. If all of this is so important then I think you should look for someone to do the consulting on Nagios for you. (I am not in the market so you have to look elsewhere.) Look at the extended service config. See how tools like nagiosgrapher add their own link into this. Do something similar and point to your own webpage containing all the info you want.

NLG is due for public release on or shortly after New Year's Day to give network admins who are planning on implementing NLG a chance to catch a break over the holidays! NLG 1.0.0#PRE is the pre-release beta which will be posted on the project page on Nagios Exchange in approximately 1-2 week's time. It is a major rewrite to 0.2.5, which fixes a number of issues I was unhappy with in the code-base, and provides a sound framework for further developments in the future. I'm therefore releasing 1.0.0#PRE as a last-chance to beta the code before the 1.0 release in January. Throughout the coming fortnight, I've got a few minor changes as well as the documentation to write. I have only 4 remaining tasks on the tracker to implement so it's all good :) Feature list / changes for 1.0-series: - Upgraded poller to series 3 (S3) - Shared files (config, functions) are synchronised between server- and client-side automatically - Improved HTTP authentication configuration from client-to-server to be more obvious (thanks to Mark Novak) - Rewritten server "paging" feature to be more stable (fixed 2 bugs in the pager) - Completely re-written template system; allows NLG admins to write their own templates, and users can select their preferred template if allowed by the NLG admin - Fixed a bug from the S2 poller, where "hostname --fqdn" didn't work on non-BSD systems (using "hostname" instead) - Data returned from poller is cached on client-side for reduced load on Nagios server and network bandwidth - Improved data streams between the client and poller allows for "same-server" setups (thanks to Hari Sekhon) - "Traffic-light", "at-a-glance" network status page - Much improved "Allowed IP" lists - proper ACLs in similar fashion to Apache's "allow,deny" configuration (thanks to Andreas Ericsson) - Restrictions on IP can now be applied to client and server separately - Much improved server filters allow any combination of server statuses to be filtered - All language texts are either in the template, or in a separate language file, allowing a language change without changing NLG's code-base - Add '#NLG:' at the start of a host/service comment within Nagios to pass that comment to NLG's front-end --- (eg. to alert users to planned downtime/maintenance etc without having to key the same info on 2 different systems) Roadmap for 1.x --------------- New features planned for 1.1-series (to be released Q1 2007): - HTTP authentication to allow users to login and see different templates based on their login status --- (eg. so administrators can see plugin output but 'guest' users cannot) - Extended host/service data passed from Nagios to NLG - Add a service filter in the host detail page to filter services (same fashion as 'host' filter) New features planned for 1.2-series (to be released Q2 2007): - Restrict users to only viewing certain hosts and services based on their login status - Only show certain hosts in NLG based on the host_group mapping in Nagios (thanks to Hari Sekhon for the feature request) -- Andy Shellam NetServe Support Team the Mail Network "an alternative in a standardised world" p: +44 (0) 121 288 0832/0839 m: +44 (0) 7818 000834 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

I run this bash-3.00$ ./check_snmp_int.pl -H 172.xx.xx.xx -C public -n "Intel\(R\) PRO\/1000 CT Network Connection" -B -f -w 0,0 -c 0,0 and get this result Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection:UP:1 UP: OK | 'Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection_in_octet'=3870538451c 'Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection_out_octet'=1949658650c My problem is that the performance data contains the name of the interface and I think the ( ) and / characters are killing the perl script that processes the performance data. Is there a way to change the SNMP network interface description on the Windows machine to remove the brackets and forward slash ? Or alternatively has anyone modified check_snmp_int.pl to query Windows without requiring the network interface description ?

Looking at the line above it should work. I have resorted to using sed and tr like this check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -n $ARG1$ -B -f -w 0,0 -c 0,0 | sed 's/\//_/g' | sed 's/\///g' | sed 's/'\('R'\)'//g' | sed 's/Intel PRO_1000 CT Network Connection*/eth0/g' | tr -d '\0' For some reason, the output from check_snmp_int.pl contained NULL characters (HEX 00) like this eth0NULL:UP:1 UP: OK | 'eth0NULL_in_octet'=3167298692c 'eth0NULL_out_octet'=2854496598c The NULLs caused the output to be truncated. I think this was a product of the SNMP description, not check_snmp_int.pl itself. The NULLS only occur against Windows machines.Doing check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -n "Intel\(R\) PRO\/1000 CT*" -B -f -w 0,0 -c 0,0 | od -t c generated this 0000000 I n t e l ( R ) P R O / 1 0 0 0000020 0 C T N e t w o r k C o n 0000040 n e c t i o n \0 : U P : 1 U P 0000060 : O K | ' I n t e l ( R ) 0000100 P R O / 1 0 0 0 C T N e t 0000120 w o r k C o n n e c t i o n \0 0000140 _ i n _ o c t e t ' = 3 3 9 4 9 0000160 0 0 9 4 2 c ' I n t e l ( R ) 0000200 P R O / 1 0 0 0 C T N e t 0000220 w o r k C o n n e c t i o n \0 0000240 _ o u t _ o c t e t ' = 3 0 2 0 0000260 2 2 6 1 7 4 c \n 0000270 The NULLS are \0 in the above output.

First, this is my setup: - Dual Xeon 2.8 HT server running an up to date CentOS 4.4, nagios 2.5 (rpm from Dag Wieers) and checking approx. 285 hosts and 1500 services - active host checks are off - host check is replaced by a dummy shell script which just says "ok" - approx. 15 services are critical, another 15 warning. So, whats the issue? When i came back into the office this morning i found nagios having a service check latency of about 350 sec (maximum and also average). I've had this last week to, and its "fixed" by simply restarting the nagios daemon. I've set up some performance monitoring of nagios and the general linux system, and this is what i see: - The load goes up to 2-2.5 within 12h of nagios running (not the peaks, but the 15 minute average) - nagios runs fine for about 15-18 hours (not general numbers, but what happened this weekend) - no unusual notifications over the whole weekend Any ideas where to look? -- Q: Gentoo is too hard to install = http://www.cyberdelia.de and I feel like whining. = eagle at cyberdelia.de A: Please see /dev/null. = (from the gentoo installer FAQ) = \o/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Looking at the line above it should work. I have resorted to using sed and tr like this check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public -n $ARG1$ -B -f -w 0,0 -c 0,0 | sed 's/\//_/g' | sed 's/\///g' | sed 's/'\('R'\)'//g' | sed 's/Intel PRO_1000 CT Network Connection*/eth0/g' | tr -d '\0' For some reason, the output from check_snmp_int.pl contained NULL characters (HEX 00) like this eth0NULL:UP:1 UP: OK | 'eth0NULL_in_octet'=3167298692c 'eth0NULL_out_octet'=2854496598c The NULLs caused the output to be truncated. I think this was a product of the SNMP description, not check_snmp_int.pl itself.

The example you've shown us is a zone file. It only returns the relevant part of the zone in answer to a query - so if a user requests, "wwww." they will get "wwww IN A 195.110.192.3" returned. I think what you've been asked to do is try and catch all spelling errors of a request, so if user types in "wwww.yourdomain.com" instead of "www.domain.com" they will get the correct record. This is a different thing to rewriting the named output, and the answer lies in creating additional records for each "mistake" possibility in your zone file either through scripting or manual input.

For a start I want to keep it simple and take one of our less sophisticated clusters which is merely a two node active/standby Linux Heartbeat cluster that hosts a webserver. Let's assume that NodeA and NodeB be the hostnames, VIP the designator for the virtual IP address of the webserver, and Apache the name of this HA service. I already defined a service that I called Heartbeat which is monitored by my Nagios server for all of our Heartbeat clusters (i.e. those belongig to hostgroup heartbeat_hosts). The related check_command only verifies that the Heartbeat service on both NodeA and NodeB is still running. If for some reason Heartbeat is stopped on NodeA where Apache is currently servicing clients, Apache is also torn down on NodeA, and given that Heartbeat is still running on the standby node NodeB, it is attempted to being brought up on NodeB, viz. failed over. Thus a notification of a failed Heartbeat should suffice I beleive under these circumstances. I then would start with some dependency definition like this define servicedependency { dependant_host VIP host_name NodeA, NodeB dependant_service_description Apache service_description Heartbeat execution_failure_criteria c,u notification_failure_criteria c,u } The pre-flight check (i.e. nagios -v ...) doesn't report any errors. Yet, I am not quite convinced if this will work as I intended? Are there any sample configurations for clustered services and dependencies, also for the more sophisticated active/active clusters whith multiple interdependencies between clustered packages' or service groups' services, because I have quite a few HP MC/ServiceGuard and Veritas Cluster Servers with lots of applications to monitor? (n.b. the VCS clusters even allow for traps to be generated that could be processed by some passive checks I would assume) Regards Ralph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Check your antivirus DATfile age In-Reply-To: <456FDF3E.5020406@vum.at> References: <456FDF3E.5020406@vum.at> Message-ID: Hi list, I had a lot of people asking me how to check the age of the antivirus dat file via SNMP. It is only possible to do so if you can get som values to read via SNMP. Our mail system supports snmp, therefore it also supports snmp for values like the antivirusDATfile number. So you can read the DATfile and then you can also get the difference when it has changed or been updated, You can then setup a criteria to get an alarm/warning if it has not been changed since 48 hours. We get 4 different DATfiles to 4 differnet scanners, so if just one of them is updated = all good = then I do not get an alarm. So all in all it?s simply just to check if a value has not been changed for x hours. Best regards Thomas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That is interesting. I have 2.5 running on an Sun E250 with Sol8. I have a constant CPU utilization of 45% in kernel. Constant load average of 2 - 2.5. (with two CPUs) This is for 83 hosts and 693 services, with 3 minute intervals. Service latency will jump to 300's after about 3 days. I have a cron job that restarts Nagios twice a week. I have scheduling not carried across restarts. My theory is that Solaris is having issues forking all the checks. Does anyone know if Solaris does "copy on write" for the process memory when forking? I use a lot of ePN checks. -- And, did Galoka think the Ulus were too ugly to save? -Centauri ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I use a lot of ePN checks. It does COW in a lot of situations, but most of the time you follow up with an exec, so almost no writes occur before a new process overwrites it anyway. Also, there's no way that a normal fork is going to be contributing more than an insignificant amount to a 350 second delay. At 45% system CPU, something else is occuring. Is the machine out of memory and swapping? Is one of the scripts fork bombing or respawing a single child that exits rapidly?

Those darn NDO2DB tables really need a > dictionary.map.. These queries are extracts from a PHP script; note that the database name nagios is included because there are other queries in the script using a different database. The first query is checking for the status of a host (host name in $SHORT[$n]): $got = mysql_query("select last_state_change from nagios.ndo_hoststatus, ". "nagios.ndo_objects where host_object_id=object_id and ". "name1='".$SHORT[$n]."' and nagios.ndo_hoststatus.current_state=1"); if ($got and mysql_num_rows($got)) { $st = "down"; $txt = "$node ($st - Nagios)"; All it is doing is checking if there is a record in ndo_hoststatus for the host where ndo_hoststatus is 1; host_object_id is a field in ndo_hoststatus which matches object_id in ndo_objects; name1 is the name of the host from ndo_objects The second query is doing something similar for alarms for hosts which are not down: # Check for Nagios alarms if system is not down if (strncmp($st, "down", 4) != 0) { $got = mysql_query("select output from nagios.ndo_servicestatus, ". "nagios.ndo_objects where objecttype_id=2 and name1='".$SHORT[$n]."'". " and current_state=2 and service_object_id=object_id"); if ($got and mysql_num_rows($got)) { $st .= "_a"; } In this query object_id, objecttype_id and name1 are fields in ndo_objects (you need both objecttype_id and name1 because there is a multi-field index built on objecttype_id and name1 in that order); current_state and service_object_id are fields in ndo_servicestatus This third query is extracting all the alarms for a host (this is a different script so $SHORT is not an array here): $got = mysql_query("select current_state, output, unix_timestamp() - ". "unix_timestamp(last_hard_state_change) from nagios.ndo_objects, ". "nagios.ndo_servicestatus where current_state!=0 and ". "service_object_id=object_id and name1='".$SHORT."'"); if ($got and mysql_num_rows($got)) { print "
Alarms for ".htmlspecialchars($NODE)."
\n"; $warns = $crits = $unkns = ""; while ($r = mysql_fetch_row($got)) { $txt1 = " $r[1] ". prettytime($r[2])."\n"; switch ($r[0]) { case 1: $warns .= $txt1."\"warn\">WARNING".$txt2; break; case 2: $crits .= $txt1."\"crit\">CRITICAL".$txt2; break; case 3: $unkns .= $txt1."\"unkn\">UNKNOWN".$txt2; break; default: $unkns .= $txt1."\"unkn\">UNKNOWN (bad type)".$txt2; } } print "

You'll then see the following options -- Schedule Downtime For All Hosts In This Hostgroup Schedule Downtime For All Services In This Hostgroup That won't help with recurring downtime but allows for easy scheduling of one-offs. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

The nagios log-file will tell you if Nagios reads the command. If it doesn't, you should check your paths so that the nagios daemon reads from the same place as the nagios cgi's write to.

Message-ID: <457FFDB8.9080709@microlnk.net> Good morning, all. I've been tweaking our Nagios install over the years. I've often wondered exactly how the check_ping plugin reports its results. I used to leave this plugin at the default number of packets, which I believe is five. If and when we saw warnings on packet loss, it would usually give us numbers like 16%, 32%, or multiples like that. Why not multiples of 20%, given that it tried five packets? Now I'm worried, though. I recently changed our default ping commands to only use ONE ping packet. This was due to advice I found after a Google search, when I was seeing extremely high latencies on my host (and some service) checks. It certainly seemed to help, too, now my host latency is usually below one second. (Instead of the FIFTEEN MINUTES it was reporting before that) But I still see some reports of packet loss. Like, 50% is a common number I now see. HOW is it seeing anything but either 0% or 100% packet loss, if it uses only one packet per host check?? Also, along those lines... I recently moved from the 1.2 Nagios to the more recent 2.4-2.5 Nagios. Nagios 1.X seemed to only trigger a host check if a service check failed. Nagios 2.X seems to ALWAYS run host checks in addition to service checks. The fact that host checks are currently not run in parallel seems like this can really limit performance. Why did that behavior change? Will host checks be run in parallel for the 3.0 series, like I think I read once...?

Here is the basic problem. I have multiple contact groups, but two that are causing me headaches, we'll call them GroupA and GroupB. GroupA has people X,Y,Z GroupB has people X,Y Person X decided they don't need information on GroupA anymore, so I removed them from that contactgroup. But for some strange reason they don't seem to get information (i.e. webinterface HOSTGROUP summary) about GroupB anymore either. So I added them back to GroupA and they see everything in the Hostgroup summary again. As a test, I removed them from GroupB and left them in GroupA and now they lose the Hostgroup Summary web information for GroupB, like expected, and still have GroupA listed. Here is the summary, which hopefully will make this clearer. X is in GroupA and GroupB, he can see both groups (as expected) X is only in GroupA, he can see only GroupA (as expected) X is only in GroupB, he can't see anything! (NOT as expected!!!) Any suggestions? Are my templates messed up totally? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Why not > multiples of 20%, given that it tried five packets? check_ping is just a wrapper for /bin/ping (or its equivalent on your machine). check_ping doesn't change the results of /bin/ping so the percentages are coming from ping, not check_ping. Do you see the same results with /bin/ping? Run it in verbose mode to see the ping command it's using -- $ ./check_ping -v -v -H 172.27.0.3 -w 10,50% -c 20,70% CMD: /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 172.27.0.3 PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.21 ms 10.000000:50% 20.000000:70% > But I still see some reports of packet loss.

Will host checks be run in parallel for Because _you_ configured Nagios to do it. Regularly scheduled host checks are not enabled by default and are in fact quite discouraged. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host "check_interval: NOTE: Do NOT enable regularly scheduled checks of a host unless you absolutely need to! Host checks are already performed on-demand when necessary, so there are few times when regularly scheduled checks would be needed. Regularly scheduled host checks can negatively impact performance - see the performance tuning tips for more information. This directive is used to define the number of "time units" between regularly scheduled checks of the host. Unless you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. More information on this value can be found in the check scheduling documentation." > the 3.0 series, like I think I read once...? Yes, and they'll actually be of benefit then. See the NetWays presentations linked off of http://www.nagios.org for more information on where Nagios is headed. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

You chose a random message from the list, hit the "reply" button, edited the subject line and removed all the message contents, and then filled in your message and sent it. This is what is considered "hijacking" a thread (the original thread was "[Nagios-users] Using $ in password"). Doing this means that everyone who sort messages by thread and aren't interested in how to use '$' in passwords will not see your message, because it will be buried inside the original thread. For the people who *are* interested in the previous thread, your hijacking of it only adds clutter to "their" thread. As for *this* mail, it was addressed to me directly, which is almost always inappropriate for list discussions and quite often considered rude unless explicitly asked for (I'm bringing it back on-list btw). -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Anyway, removing the "check_freshness" parameter seemed to have solved it - last check was at 15:58 (when I re-started Nagios) and it's now 4:11 without another check. The latency timings are much better as well. Thanks very much, a long-standing issue solved! Andy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

What does your nagios.log > report on the ~15 lines prepending the host-check entry? I should add that I'm using Monarch from the GrounworkOpensource.com guys. I'm using their latest open source version, which I believe is 4.5.11 or something like that. It came with, um, some version of Nagios that I can't immediately identify. Possibly as old as 2.0. (How can I confirm the current version of Nagios?) I've thought about upgrading the Nagios that comes with Monarch. I've seen posts in their forums on how to do that, although they say it is unsupported. Monarch imported our existing Nagios 1.X configuration, but it looks like this was one of a few mistakes it made. I see it is indeed now set to have a check_interval for each host, as well as for each service. (Not like it used to be!) I'll go update the Monarch config; sounds like that'll take care of that part. I assume I just remove the value from the host's check_interval completely?

What is the ratio between them? I've runned across this issue, and had to tweak with main config values to solve the problem. To me, when i've came to this problem, the number of passive checks were way beyond the number of active checks, and seemed that when a lot of passive checks were being processed, the active checks begins to delay execution, the latency begins to raise, and only restarting nagios to get some performance again, until the burst of passive results coming and Nagios being way too busy for executing active checks. The number of nsca instances was very high and when i've changed the value at command_check_interval from -1 to 2, the latency lowered. So, IMHO, i think it's a question of configurations tests to get performance tunned. HTH, Marcel AVISO: A informa??o contida neste e-mail, bem como em qualquer de seus anexos, ?

I found a brief discussion where someone had the same problem but there was nothing really discussed what was potentially wrong. My system: Dual 2.8GHz P4 processors 4GB of RAM FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10 Running processes: Nagios 2.6 (installed from ports without embedded perl or nanosleep) One mysqld process for the nagiosweb utility A few NSCA daemon processes for passive checking A backup tool daemon Apache+modssl (latest from ports) Basic FreeBSD services (sshd, sendmail, etc.) Problem: Random service and host check control processes will lock up and 'spin' on the CPU. This is really bad when a host check does it because it brings all checks to a halt. It doesn't seem to even notice that all checks have gone stale. It will look like this in top: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 94068 nagios 1 116 0 7500K 6748K CPU2 0 727:37 30.15% nagios 94082 nagios 1 116 0 7500K 6748K CPU2 0 734:28 32.55% nagios 94104 nagios 1 116 0 7500K 6748K CPU2 0 845:21 37.42% nagios 75338 nagios 5 20 0 7500K 6776K kserel 0 91:33 0.00% nagios In this example the main nagios pid is 75338. The hung service and/or host processes are the other ones. The service checks are almost entirely custom scripts, but the host check is a standard check_ping that comes with the nagios program. Any ideas on how to figure out which service or host check is hung? Or how to deal with this problem at all?

You've found a bug in Nagios which most likely was either introduced in the port of it, or is a result of library differences between FreeBSD and Linux. I wouldn't be all too surprised if it turns out that the FreeBSD pthread implementation disallows something that the Linux version allows. Note that this doesn't necessarily have to be a bug; Nagios doesn't use the pthread ABI in a way that is explicitly stated as safe, but the pthread implementation on Linux and most other unices are forgiving enough to make it work anyway. It's also possible that this bug only triggers on dual-CPU systems with a particular library installed, as some kinds of timing and race-conditions just doesn't happen on single-CPU systems.

They explained how a error event runs through several filters before an eventhandler or a notification is triggered. The filters are built from the settings of each service-check?s properties. So, if an error occures, all filters are requested before an event like notification, enventhandler o.s. caomes up. For what do you need to know this? I see no problem in this behaviour, as you should know and control exactly which settings you have for your checks... Greets, Thomas Zimmer Produktservice & Betrieb Betrieb & Support Sal.

Definitely not. The problem for Nagios is that threading was added after the fact so nagios actually breaks some of the *strong* recommendations on what to do and what not to do in a threaded application after a fork(). The problem for *BSD and their thread implementation of the thread library is that Nagios actually works everywhere but on *BSD, and it *often* works there too, but not always. This "often-but-not-always" is usually a sign of a broken implementation, although exactly "often-but-not-always" is a sign of the errors you'll run into when you do what Nagios does post-fork(). I don't know of any other program that has the same problem on *BSD, but it would be interesting to see if there's a common pattern so one can pinpoint the exact pattern that causes the lock contention and races. It would, from a practical point of view, be best to patch it in the library, as that is a fix that would work for all possible future problems as well, although it's technically more correct to fix it in Nagios.

If a service on the host returns OK without a hostcheck having been run, the status of the host is set to UP and the host-check output is set to "Services working, so host assumed to be up" (or something like that). In short, if you have no services defined for your hosts, they will never be checked (normally) and therefore never appear as UP or DOWN. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

This works well most of the time. Now, I noticed, that every time, I add a new service or host and reload/restart (same behaviour) nagios, the new objects are in ndo database, but the is_active field is 0. An additional nagios reload/restart makes them active. I could reproduce this behaviour every time when adding new hosts or services. Any Ideas if this is a bug or any reason this may be intended.

I'd be surprised if Nagios doesn't barf on this. I'm assuming this is a template you wish to include in your *real* host objects (luke and leia below - cute names, btw), but making them "use" themselves is just asking for an infinite loop bug to bite you. > check_command check-host-alive > max_check_attempts 15 > notification_interval 30 > notification_period 24x7 > contact_groups admins > notification_options d,r > register 1 > } As has already been pointed out, "register" should be set to 0 for template objects.

If you find the answer, let us know. Documentation for the NDO utils are nowhere near complete, and I daresay Ethan would find it useful to get a bit of help with it. A sort of semi-educated guess (based on the column-name) is that it denotes services and hosts that have active checks enabled, or that have been checked at least once.

Error: Could not read object configuration data! Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error: 1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors. 2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file). Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists.

Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists.

SELinux does *not* have to be disabled completely for Nagios to run; that's just a very common recommendation often made to people who don't understand enough about SELinux to configure it correctly. Recent versions of Fedora, for example, have a set of SELinux policies that seem to work fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Here are some pieces of my config files as an example for you. I am using nagios 1.4, so if there are any differences in the configs, someone with experience in 2.x will have to keep me honest. :-) define contact{ contact_name notify-sms-1 alias Notify SMS 1 for check_ping service_notification_commands notify-by-sms-1 } define contact{ contact_name notify-sms-2 alias Notify SMS 2 for check_internet service_notification_commands notify-by-sms-2 } define contact{ contact_name notify-by-email alias Notify by Email service_notification_commands commandtoemail } define contact{ contact_name notify-sms-critical alias Notify SMS for critical service_notification_commands commandtosms service_notification_options c } NOTICE the service_notification_options in the last contact. We are telling it to ONLY send notices if the event is a "critical". This is (obviously) important. Then create the contact groups. For your needs, I would suggest 3 contact groups: define contactgroup{ contactgroup_name check-ping-sms-group alias check-ping-sms-group members notify-sms-1 } define contactgroup{ contactgroup_name check-internet-sms-group alias check-internet-sms-group members notify-sms-2 } And finally: define contactgroup{ contactgroup_name everyone_else alias Everyone Else members notify-by-email,notify-by-sms-critical } Under your service definition for check_ping, put the check-ping-sms-group as the contact. For the check_internet check, put the check-internet-sms-group as the contact. For everything else, use the everyone_else group. Both notify-by-email and notify-by-sms-critical can be in the group, but the sms member will only be used if it is a critical alert. The only caveat in this, is that the person getting the sms alert will not receive recovery alerts. As far as I know, recover alerts will send whether the alert was a "warning" or a "critical"...it makes no distinction. So, you can either send sms recoveries for alerts that they have no visibility to, or they can receive none. Your choice. :-) Hope this is helpful, Janet -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Mattia Martinello Sent: December 16, 2006 1:23 PM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Different types of notifications Hi.

Unless I am mistaken this should the default with your config. But I suggest you put everything in your service definition first before you start playing with templates. And which Nagios version are you running?

Paste here the performance table. Output from > nagiostats may also be helpful. I collected the following data with the output of nagiostats: http://www.cyberdelia.de/nagios-latency.png Resolution one week, 30 minutes interval. You can see how it runs just fine for several days (where i worked on the config and restarted nagios several times per day), and then on dec. 9th (a saturday) the latency skyrocketed, until i came back into the office on Monday and restarted the service. The latency dropped instantly. http://www.cyberdelia.de/nagios-timeframe.png Checks in the given timeframe (ignore the percentage vertical label). The more the latency increses the less checks are performed in the 5 minute timeframe. Quite logical result from the high service check latency. http://www.cyberdelia.de/nagios-executiontime.png Service check execution time. Rocksteady. Some 10 or 15 checks which need 10 seconds, but the average execution time is about 1 to 1.5 seconds... This is regardless of the state of nagios (eg. normal latency or the extrem high latency).

It's not like we could have missed it the first, second or third times today to necessitate this fourth. Your urgent problem is not our urgent problem unfortunately. You generally want to allow at least 24 hours before reposting to give everyone a chance to see it. Seems to me that a logical short term solution might be to just add 0.0.0.0 to the allowed hosts in nrpe.cfg until someone familiar with NRPE on HP-UX that might be able to help you reads your message. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

I think we were both saying the same thing, though your detail and accuracy was far better than mine. :) My point was that you need to provide a username to Nagios one way or another; it can't be eliminated entirely. It could be called "guest," or anything else, but you need a default user to keep Nagios happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Also, the NSCA docs indicate that for passive host checks, only the hostname, return code (determined by $HOSTSTATE$) and host output will be needed. If you're going to use the same submit script you'll need to add in some logic to determine between a host and service submission and call send_nsca appropriately. If you're using the example submit_check_result in the doccos it does not include that functionality. Your command definition will look something like -- define command{ command_name submit_host_result command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$ '$HOSTOUTPUT$' } > Finnaly, I can run /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/submit_check_result > manually and it replies with: > 1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully. > > However I never see anything in /var/log/nagios/nagios.log, even > though I am using log_passive_checks=1 Enable debug in nsca.cfg on your master and watch /var/log/messages while you submit. Is nsca running as a deamon or in (x)inetd mode? Verify that you have the correct command_file specified in nsca.cfg and that the user that nsca is running as has permissions to write to the named pipe. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

No, you don't need to restart apache. Make sure you have use_authentication=1 in cgi.cfg. Do not create a .htaccess file or enable htaccess in httpd.conf for the Nagios directories. Nagios will not be able to determine the REMOTE_USER environment variable and will instead use the default_user_name. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Has Dag fixed this yet? I was about to update some documentation I have hosted on the CentOS and Nagios sites, but wanted to confirm this problem still exists before I proceed with mentioning these issues. I looked on Dag's site and the release is still from December 12th, so I'm assuming not.

I've enabled debugg and I've also added a logger command to my two scripts, so I can see when it's being ran in /var/log/messages. I can run this manually and it actually works! /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/submit_service_check AnnapolisFW UP PING "OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 79.41 ms" On the centeral server, I see the following in /var/log/messages: Dec 18 16:03:45 ip-208-109-28-219 nsca[10438]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'AnnapolisFW', Service Description: 'UP', Return Code: '2', Output: 'OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 79.41 ms' Dec 18 16:03:45 ip-208-109-28-219 nsca[10438]: End of connection...

So now I can submit results and they work just fine. However, when these scripts are being ran via nagios, for some reason I'm not seeing anything show up in my /var/log/messages on the central server. On the distributed monitoring server, I see in /var/log/messages the logger messages from where nagios is actually executing the script, but I just dont see anything else. I did however solve my own problem. I wrapped the submit_service_check script with logger and it logged the output from send_nsca, which just so happened to have the key problem in it. Apparently the nsca config file I was using only had read permissions for root. A quick chmod a+r send_nsca.cfg and now, all is good. Thanks for the help Marc. You troubleshooting assistances was exactly what I needed to get this knocked out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

The log files add the following: Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exists. I checked the nrpe.cfg file on the remote client, and the check commands do have the complete path to the plugins. I manually ran one of the commands to confirm it could run. I then went to the Nagios server and verified the check_nrpe plugin was in the same directory as the others. I noticed that I could not start the nrpe daemon as root, but I was able to do so as a sudo user. The version of nagios I am running is version 2.6. While the nrpe client on the remote host and the check_nrpe plugin on the server are 2.5.1. What do I need to do to correct this?

For some reason the query of the source IP on the connection is returning 0.0.0.0 instead of the source IP - maybe you have some special wrapper or intervening agent.

We have a distributed environment with one master and 4 slaves. Total number of hosts monitored are 1900+ and 20000+ services spread across 4 slaves. At times we saw 14K or more results being sent in a second from slaves. This resulted in 100+ nagios processes being created. Changed reaper frequency to 2 seconds and played with all tunables. Nothing seemed to help. Looking at the nagios source, This is what I found out was happening... Nagios has a commands file worker thread and when it gets woken up, looks if there is data in pipe(nagios.cmd), if exists, forks a child process. This will be in a loop and checks the pipe for data. Now what does the forked nagios child process do? It reads all the data from the pipe one message a time and puts it in commands buffer. If if is able to write to buffer, just exits. The problem here was command buffer had a limited size of 1024. This is the default setting in include/nagios.h.in and is in the line #define COMMAND_BUFFER_SLOTS 1024. This was not enough and the child process started to wait for memory to be freed so that the pipe data retrieved can be put in buffer. While this child process waited for memory to be freed, the command worker thread got woken up and realized that there is data in pipe and forked another child. This got repeated and eventually server went out of memory. Here is what we did to resolve. 1. Edit the include/nagios.h.in change #define COMMAND_BUFFER_SLOTS 1024 to #define COMMAND_BUFFER_SLOTS 60000 And change #define SERVICE_BUFFER_SLOTS 1024 to #define SERVICE_BUFFER_SLOTS 60000 2. Run ./configure (make sure you don't have nano second sleep enabled. Also disable perl interpreter) 3. make all;make install - Mahesh Kunjal ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Recently I have run into the very same performance issues as Daniel Meyer (or so it seems). However, I'm not quite sure about it. Here's the gist of it. Currently, service check latency slowly creeps up. As it is now, it starts out at a little over 1s and after about 12 hours it's in the area of about 90s. It keeps climbing after that. Here's the output of nagios -s: Nagios 2.6 Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 11-27-2006 License: GPL Warning: Contact group 'Singles-Truppe' is not used in any host/service definitions or host/service escalations! Projected scheduling information for host and service checks is listed below. This information assumes that you are going to start running Nagios with your current config files.

This all looks peachy - I think. What I don't get is this line: Average service check interval: 2225.56 sec It seems to me that this is either a skewed value, stemming from my history of looong latencies (at one point we were beyonf 9000 seconds). *Or* it is indicative of a misconfiguration on my part. If the latter is the case, I'd be eager, nay ecstatic to hear what I did wrong. Here are a few of the config vars that might influence this: sleep_time=0.25 service_reaper_frequency=5 max_concurrent_checks=0 max_host_check_spread=10 host_inter_check_delay_method=s service_interleave_factor=s command_check_interval=1 obsess_over_services=0 aggregate_status_updates=1 status_update_interval=20 Also, here's the output from nagiostats: Nagios Stats 2.6 Copyright (c) 2003-2005 Ethan Galstad (www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 11-27-2006 License: GPL CURRENT STATUS DATA ---------------------------------------------------- Status File: /var/nagios/status.dat Status File Age: 0d 0h 0m 3s Status File Version: 2.6 Program Running Time: 0d 1h 59m 5s Total Services: 2836 Services Checked: 2836 Services Scheduled: 2758 Active Service Checks: 2836 Passive Service Checks: 0 Total Service State Change: 0.000 / 12.370 / 0.007 % Active Service Latency: 0.006 / 10.237 / 0.906 sec Active Service Execution Time: 0.047 / 10.159 / 0.180 sec Active Service State Change: 0.000 / 12.370 / 0.007 % Active Services Last 1/5/15/60 min: 477 / 2678 / 2745 / 2754 Passive Service State Change: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 % Passive Services Last 1/5/15/60 min: 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 Services Ok/Warn/Unk/Crit: 2814 / 6 / 0 / 16 Services Flapping: 0 Services In Downtime: 0 Total Hosts: 330 Hosts Checked: 330 Hosts Scheduled: 0 Active Host Checks: 330 Passive Host Checks: 0 Total Host State Change: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 % Active Host Latency: 0.000 / 1.000 / 0.888 sec Active Host Execution Time: 0.030 / 4.059 / 0.112 sec Active Host State Change: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 % Active Hosts Last 1/5/15/60 min: 0 / 12 / 12 / 12 Passive Host State Change: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 % Passive Hosts Last 1/5/15/60 min: 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 Hosts Up/Down/Unreach: 329 / 1 / 0 Hosts Flapping: 0 Hosts In Downtime: 0 Hardware is a dual-2.8GHz Xeon, 2G RAM and a 100 FDX interface. LoadAvg is around 1.6, sometimes gets to 1.9. CPUs are both around 40% idle most of the time. I see about 300 context switches and 500 interrupts per second. The network load is neglible, ditto the packet rate. The way these figures look I don't see a performance problem per se, but maybe I have overlooked a metric that descirbes the "usual" bottleneck of installations. Any help is appreciated.

I have a few questions about scheduling in Nagios. - How does the scheduling queue work? From the docs it seems the whole queue is held up as soon as a host check is necessary. As far as I know, Nagios parallelizes checks, so my question is if the current checking thread is held up only or if all of the checks are stopped immediately? - If the whole set of workers is stopped, this would mean that a failing check would result in an immeidate host check which in turn holds up all the queues until it is complete. Does it really work this way? - How much performance overhead do service dependencies generate? I have quite a few NRPE checks and all of them depend on the NRPE dummy check I always define. Does this stall checking by any considerable amount? Thansk for any help, Tobias ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

The answer is ofcourse that you should read and understand the manual before asking questions here. The Nagios config documentation really is quite extensive. Perhaps you missed this particular snippet when configuring? ---%<---%<---%<--- One important thing to note is that by default, Nagios will use the most current hard state of the service(s) that is/are being depended upon when it does the dependeny checks. If you want Nagios to use the most current state of the services (regardless of whether its a soft or hard state), enable the soft_service_dependencies option. ---%<---%<---%<--- There are lots of other goodies in the docs. > Jeronimo Zucco escreveu: >> Hi, all. >> >> I have problem using service dependencies.

I don't know if it's still there in recent CVS versions. The thinko is that it (used to?) calculate average service check interval by adding up all normal_check_interval values and dividing it by the number of services configured (or something along those lines), which leads to long latencies. This normally didn't make those latencies increase though.

For intel cpu's, that causes up to 60% performance loss (yes, it really is that bad). I'm puzzled. Please let me know if you find the answer to this problem.

I figured it wasn't necesseary to check that more often than once a day. I also have check_intervals of 3, 5, 15, 20, 30 and 1440 seconds.

Just curious. How will this work if you have something like 5 hosts in line in a parent-child relation? The fastest way would be starting from nagios and work your way to the downed host as the average latency on a check on a live host is much faster then the timeout you get on downed hosts. Considere the map as shown on http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/statusmap-20061219.png If nagios detects the ipv6 router in the lab to be down and it has to work it's way up it has to deal with the timeouts on nlams04 and nlams05. If it starts polling the other way around it only has to deal with the host check latency of the switch and the timeout of nlams05.

Checking a certificate is not a particularly heavy operation so it doesn't matter much if you run it ever 5 minutes. On the server side it just gets handed out from cache, so it's not heave there either. If you have the various normal_check_interval's specified in templates, try setting them all to 5 minutes and let Nagios run over-night. If this interferes with some fragile services on the network (webservers whose sessions don't expire, fe), disable active checks for those services during the testing period.

If the experiment above doesn't yield anything useful, try installing a 64-bit userland and recompiling Nagios and the plugins (and perl, and /bin/sh, wherever it points to) with a 64-bit compiler.

However, if the closest parent had been up it would have been the other way around. Anyways, I *think* nagios checks in->out. Either way, it's important for a host check to return OK *immediately* when it finds that the host it's checking actually *is* ok, which is why I wrote check_icmp and let it have a check_host mode which does just that. The original default hostcheck (I think it's still the default, btw) would wait a minimum of 5 seconds no matter if the first ping came back ok after 5ms. Since all other checks are stopped, this causes quite a bit of slowdown. When I think about it, it would indeed (especially with check_host) be faster to start unreachability checks with root-hosts and then following children down to the targeted host since we would that way encounter a minimum of host check timeouts. It's programmatically slightly trickier though, as you'd have to walk it backwards from the problem host, push each parent host to a stack and then pop them from that stack when you do the actual checking.

Dont think that nagios uses that information to rebuild it into a child list... That might be the solution to "why did nagios send me so many notifications today": consider those host relations: nagios - router - router - switch - server1 to server n (up) (up) (down) (dummy) (up...) I had a failed leased line today. The switch in that scenario was up due to a dummy check which always replies "ok", the router was down. I got a host down notification for each of the servers.... Must be because nagios started to check from the servers to the nagios host, and found the switch to be up and runnnig.

I've now setup a little script that puts host and service check latency in an RRD file every five minutes. So far, the curve looks very inconclusive.

Well, I already convinced my boss that we need beefier machines anyway (we currently have no spare machine and all current machines are too incompatible to act as spares. If it tells you anything: we're on a single HP DL360G3 now and will be moving to two DL360G5 or two DL365 early next year). Still, we need to switch to a distributed setup - another headache I'd rather put off til nex year.

Any suggestion > will be highly appreciated. This is one of those rare cases where host dependencies may come into play. But I would add the interfaces as PING service to the host or use SNMP to check the real interface status. Something like: # 'check_snmp_int' command definition define command{ command_name check_snmp_int command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -n $ARG2$ } Getting the proper interface names can be a daunting task with some routers.

For some reason the query of the source IP on the connection is returning 0.0.0.0 instead of the source IP - maybe you have some special wrapper or intervening agent.

The last link under "Configuring Nagios" in the documentation table of contents clearly says "Configuring authorization for the CGIs". Read it! http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html "Authentication On Secured Web Servers If your web server is located in a secure domain (i.e., behind a firewall) or if you are using SSL, you can define a default username that can be used to access the CGIs. This is done by defining the default_user_name option in the CGI configuration file. By defining a default username that can access the CGIs, you can allow users to access the CGIs without necessarily having to authenticate to the web server.. You may want to use this to avoid having to use basic web authentication, as basic authentication transmits passwords in clear text over the Internet. Important: Do not define a default username unless you are running a secure web server and are sure that everyone who has access to the CGIs has been authenticated in some manner! If you define this variable, anyone who has not authenticated to the web server will inherit all rights you assign to this user!" -f On Tue, 19 Dec 2006, Subin Shakya wrote: > Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 10:30:06 -0800 > From: Subin Shakya > To: Andreas Ericsson > Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Schedule Downtime w/o authentication requirement > > > Andreas, Thanks for your advice.

By bar graph I assume you mean the one on 'View Trends For This Service' (which doesnt look very bar-ish when its all one colour ;) ). There is no pie chart in the version I am running (v2.1) nor in the doco (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgis.html). You can either export the data in CSV format from the Availability Report and process it yourself, or write your own CGI. Or do as I do... tell your boss how to get the raw data and they can spend all day making purty charts while you can spend your day doing more productive things like keeping things running. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Be creative. Make dummy hosts using snmp as host check and base your topology (parent) on that. Nagios --> router --> link --> router --> host To which router interface you need to assign this dummy link host is left as an exercise for the reader.

Start at the top and follow the signs from your nagios,cfg And it is not recommended to use the restart option for the nagios service. The reload option does just fine for these purposes.

It works for me. Message-ID: Hi, I recall having seen some remarks on the GD2 support of Nagios when installed throug DAG's packages. Well it works for me. Added a config line to nagios.cfg like: cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/host-extinfo Then filled this directory with config files for my hosts. For example: define hostextinfo { host_name anfalas # icon_image symbols/dsl.png icon_image imagepak-cook/dsl_router.png icon_image_alt Cisco 836 / IOS 12.3 # statusmap_image symbols/dsl.gd2 statusmap_image imagepak-cook/dsl_router.gd2 } I installed the load of image paks from nagiosexchange as individual directories under /usr/share/nagios/images/logos Nothing to it, in fact. Just noticed with the last snapshot I never did put in the pictures. So I went in and added them this way. Old drawing: http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/statusmap-20061219.png New drawing: http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/statusmap-20061220.png Just make sure you get them gd2 images. I had to creat one or two of them myself using the pngtogd2 tool. (`pngtogd2 ....png ....gd2 0 1` did the trick for me.)

Make sure that all files and directories that you've specified Nagios to write data to in Nagios.cfg (log files, pid file, archive files, etc) are writeable by the Nagios user. Try executing the startup script in a more verbose manner by running 'sh -x /etc/rd.c/init.d/Nagios start'. That may provide a clue as to what specific file Nagios is not able to create. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I don't have any specific experience with Gentoo but generally, make sure that the user your web server runs as has read permission for the nagios var directory and the files within it (status_file location in nagios.cfg). Make sure the status_file is being populated with data.

But it seems to act more like used space. But a quick check here seems to indicate it is not doing any sane check on inodes at all. Regardless of how I run it I see some bogus values in the output: $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -K 99% -p /var DISK OK - free space: /var 52274 MB (82% inode=98%);| /var=10724MB;-2147483648;-2147483648;0;66370 So I think it is safe to assume the plugin is in fact broken. But unless you have a very specific application capable of creating loads of tiny files on your system you are unlikely to run out of inodes.

I was just looking at this and I believe that it is, at least for your OS/partition type/plugin version combination. Check_disk doesn't use df but rather system calls directly via popen.c. Maybe something is wrong there. The clue is that your results are incorrect both in your performance data and in your verbose output indicating that it's might be getting either incorrect or no parseable information back from the system calls. I'd try the CVS version to make sure that it isn't something that's corrected, and if that doesn't work, bounce the question over to nagios-plugins, providing the information above as well as your OS/version and filesystem type you are checking. They'll be more familiar with the internal workings of the plugin. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

When the plumbing work was done for the filesystems, checks for the inodes weren't completed correctly. This is fixed now. I've also included tests now, so this should be picked up in future before it gets released. The perf data is nulled if you check inodes only because there is no warning/critical set for the disk space. Please try the CVS snapshot when that gets created.

I was just confirming a bug for Matthias Haider though and am happy with my 1.64 version ;) Did you also see that the CRITICAL logic appears to have been inverted between releases?

This is due to inconsistencies between plugins where the thresholds are defined differently. I'm going to propose a new syntax in nagiosplug-devel soon....

I think you will find the pipe only exists when its running (although that may just be the service script cleaning up).

We've recently upgraded to 2.6 and I've been tidying up the configs, sorting out service groups, etc. I've been adding checks for specific windows services, Exchange, Backup Exec, various MS SQL databases and that sort of thing. The more services I add, the more I consider their dependencies on each other. SNMP service is now a critical service, as without it I will get a storm of notification. I can see that service dependencies would fix this but it does seem overly complex to have to list each host/service pair in the dependency definition. One way I thought might work is to create a servicegroup called myserversnmp and add the service to the group in the service definition. Then, in the dependency definition, make that servicegroup dependent on SNMP Service on the host. This would mean I end up with a load of servicegroups, but make configuring easier as I just need to add one line per service and that's often done with copy/past/tweak. An alternative might be to regular expressions, but for me this would be an obfuscation, not really what I'm after. It would be nice if there was a service dependency directive in the service definition. How do others manage dependencies ?

Pie chart of what - a histogram of hosts in availability ranges (eg 0-90%, 90.1-98.5, 98.6 - 99.95, > 99.95%) ? If you want to do it with the standard tools you will have some work counting numbers in each cathegory and then charting. The approach might be 1 extract the availability data as CSV 2 import into the charting tool of your choice (eg OpenOffice) 3 chart We 1 have an event handler that inserts a record into a DB when a host comes up (yes, this is pretty wonky) 2 have SQL that does the histogram stuff 3 use Perl Spreadsheet::WriteExcel to do the charting. This isn't partic good but it provides the charts that managers insist on (rightly). HTH > Craig ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

For me, it starts out at some low-two-digit ms time, then creeps up to 165.000ms (yes, exactly that value).

Here are a few graphs we created for yesterday and the day before that: http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/nagios-perf-1/ and here are the pics of today and yesterday afternoon: http://eric.schwarzvogel.de/~klausman/nagios-perf-2/ For all graphs, check frequency was every 2 minutes. For the older set, a SNAFU on my part when setting up the RRDs resulted in reduced resolution. That was fixed with the second set. "Queue size" is calculated the following way: look at all objects in the state file (retention.dat, saved every 20s). Every object with a check time in the past counts as one queue entry. "Slots"/"Checks completed" is a what nagiostats reports as # of checks completed in the four timeframes. Things I noted: Queue size oscillates wildly. This might be due to my methodology. Still, one can read a trend from that curve. Check execution time converges at 106ms. On the spot. I have no idea why. Load average and CPU idleness indicate that we don't have a host performance problem (I also looked over but did not plot stuff like interrupt rate and context switches, nothing overly high, there). For the older graphs, check latency doesn't budge at all for some time (or it's too little to see it). For the newer graph, the initial rise is rather steep, then increase slows down a bit. Still, over the course of hours, it seems linear and shows no sign of converging. If anybody is interested in the RRD files used to generate the graphs, drop me a line. The picture all of this paints is rather inconclusive. We've found an oddity in our config I'll relate in another mail (a check interval of 86400 minutes, that's two months). We have eliminated that for the newer graphs, however. In conclusion, I'm at a loss as to why this slow deterioration of check performance happens. A colleague of mine is looking at the Nagios scheduling code (he thinks the description of the algorithm in the docs is rather strange). He hasn't reported back yet, though. All in all, every hint is appreciated. Regards, Tobias -- Never touch a burning system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

As it turned out, the check_interval was set to 86400. From that I jumped to the conclusion "ah, one day" - familiar numbers do that to you. But the base unit of check_interval isn't 1s, it's 1 minute. So the check_interval was 60 days. Fortunately, it was only one such check which we quickly eliminated before producing the second set of graphs I mentioned elsewhere in the thread. Now, the longest check_interval truly is one day, 1440 minutes. The average service check interval reported by -s is now 419 seconds. Still not terribly short, but it proves that the 86400-minute-monster was to blame for the 2200+ seconds. Changing those once-a-day checks to 5 minutes is an option, but I'd rather wait a little to give everybody on the list some time to look at the graphs and come up with nifty ideas. I have the suspicion that our check latency might converge on 419 seconds - but I'd rather not test it, we'd be well beyond the 300s-interval most of our checks are designed for. > > Oops, forgot to mention that.

I don't think there is anything debian-specific about this, at least on the surface. It really looks to be a straightforward permissions issue. Are you sure that apache is running with GID www-data?

I can create Host Groups for each application, and that should translate to a drawing layer on the Status Map, but from what I understand, it won't necessarily show me the status of the application if, for example, an instance of an httpd daemon that the application depends on goes down.

Then, we get a flood of pages for all of our checks dependent on SNMP and have to manually kill and restart the service. If you're going to do a generic SNMP check, just make sure it's actually pulling a value from SNMP because a simple NT check to see if the service is in the running state isn't very reliable. (we aren't actually using service deps. yet, but it's something I'm getting around to since we're in the same boat as you =)). - Josh Matthew Joyce wrote: > Hi all, > > I've found myself in a quandary and I'm wondering how other Nagios uses > have address similar problems. > We've recently upgraded to 2.6 and I've been tidying up the configs, > sorting out service groups, etc. > > I've been adding checks for specific windows services, Exchange, Backup > Exec, various MS SQL databases and that sort of thing. > The more services I add, the more I consider their dependencies on each > other. > SNMP service is now a critical service, as without it I will get a storm > of notification. > > I can see that service dependencies would fix this but it does seem > overly complex to have to list each host/service pair in the dependency > definition. > > One way I thought might work is to create a servicegroup called > myserversnmp and add the service to the group in the service definition. > Then, in the dependency definition, make that servicegroup dependent on > SNMP Service on the host. > > This would mean I end up with a load of servicegroups, but make > configuring easier as I just need to add one line per service and that's > often done with copy/past/tweak. > > An alternative might be to regular expressions, but for me this would be > an obfuscation, not really what I'm after. > It would be nice if there was a service dependency directive in the > service definition. > > How do others manage dependencies ? > > > > Thanks > > Matt > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.

The parent being the system (ping?), the next some base OS subsystem, next the app that depends on it (log file checks or some other homegrown verification), etc.. Right? Or am I over-simplifying the issue? I do this, as do a lot of us I'm sure, in a very simple form now. Nagios checks that my cacti server is up by checking the host, apache then the cacti log - and they appear that way on the map as well.

Sys stats are at http://lanning.cc/kipper.html The large dips in load and system CPU time are when I restart Nagios. (cron'd twice a week, but I have also been making a lot of service updates lately, hence the almost once a day restarts.) For the restarts to fix the latency, I have "use_retained_scheduling_info=0". After about three days the Service Check latency will grow to over 300 seconds. It is usually steady at around 0-5 seconds, for a couple of days, then it will rise over the course of a few hours to over the 300 second mark. My biggest issue with this, is the fact the RRDTool does not like the data points to be that far out of the expected time intervals and will toss the data point. I have noticed the Nagios seems to have a memory leak. As, I have watched over the last hour the process grow from 124M to 126M. I use ePN with caching. Most of my checks are SNMP requests via ePN scripts (http://lanning.cc/custom_plugins/), with p1.pl modified with: use SNMP 5.0; SNMP::loadModules("ALL"); We have put into our budget to move Nagios to a Linux/Intel server.

The main reason for me to use ePN with perlcache, is to get around the huge load of loading all the MIBs for each SNMP query. (Since 90% of my services are SNMP queries.) I was looking for a way to load the MIB tree once, and found I could do it in p1.pl. For traps, I run snmptrapd (from net-snmp) and have just recently found it has a memory leak. Over the course of 20 days, it grew from 5MB to 140MB. It runs snmptthandler, which is actually a C program (I ported the Perl version to reduce the load during trap floods). snmptt has a big memory leak. I restart it every 6 hours. This seems to be pointing to the net-snmp libraries. Though, I don't get why it would really effect the nagios master process. Since all the calls to the SNMP module are run in a subprocess, other than the initialization that I put into p1.pl. Unless p1.pl is executed more than once. Back when I had about 200 service checks, my load was about 1.5. Then I enabled ePN with perlcache and stuck in the "use SNMP" with the preload of the MIBs. Load went down to 0.3. But, as I added services, most SNMP, this issue showed up. -- And, did Galoka think the Ulus were too ugly to save? -Centauri ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Load went down to 0.3. But, as > I added services, most SNMP, this issue showed up. I think the two issues are independent (or at most correlated). If switching off EPN/perlcache fixes the issues for me, too, I'd guess it's either the embedded Perl or the cache. Finding out which is a matter of simple experimentation.

I tried using manually it works fine. 1. Show your snmptrapd.conf. 2. Check your snmptt.ini file in [Exec] section. 3. Can you execute /usr/share/nagios2/plugins/eventhandlers/submit_check_result manualy? 4. submit_check_result must use nsca for transport. Is your nsca can take result? Switch on debug in nsca.conf. 5. nagios must have properly configured host and service for interpretate getted trap. For me it's work.

For example, say I have 3 servers, a web server (A), an application server (B), and a database server (C). Each of these servers support 3 applications, each of which has a component on each of the servers, registered in Nagios as a service. Each of these components for an application is interdependent, so if the database component for application 3 is having issues, it would be nice to see this visually represented in an application view. As another example, we have applications that are interconnected using a messaging service, such that application A is dependent on application B for certain types of transactions. If application B is having performance issues which may potentially impact application A, it would be nice to see this visually represented. A third example would be SAN. All of my databases are SAN attached. I can write checks which can interrogate the SAN. If, for example, I have meta LUNs for applications A and C which span common physical spindles (RAID groups), a rebuild operation on the RAID group could impact performance on those dependent applications. To see these dependencies visually would be fantastic. Something like this would assist in root cause analysis, instead of just using the BOFH excuse-of-the-day :) Todd -----Original Message----- From: Brian Loe [mailto:knobdy at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 5:31 PM To: Chris Moody Cc: Todd Mcneill; Nagios Users mailinglist Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Strategies I'm not sure on the ease, but it seems like it should be doable now for any service/application for which you can run a Nagios check against. The parent being the system (ping?), the next some base OS subsystem, next the app that depends on it (log file checks or some other homegrown verification), etc.. Right? Or am I over-simplifying the issue? I do this, as do a lot of us I'm sure, in a very simple form now. Nagios checks that my cacti server is up by checking the host, apache then the cacti log - and they appear that way on the map as well.

If I try to define a service using: hostgroup_name service,site_[c].* nagios -v works fine. However if I try: hostgroup_name service,!site_[c].* it fails with: Error: Could not find any hostgroup matching '!site_[c].*' However that definition should be the same as hostgroup_name service,!site_cde What I am trying to do is to define a service that applies only to hosts in both the service and site_cde hostgroups. So my ultimate target hostgroup_name definition is: hostgroup_name service,!site_[^c].* which should expand to be the same as: hostgroup_name service,!site_abc,!site_bcd,!site_def Trying that produces the same ":Could not find any hostgroup".

It doesn't work. Any product that does this is going to be difficult to create, implement or administer. In our case, the easiest method for verifying the uptime and performance of our applications is to have our developers build it into the application. If you only want to know about the interactions between services on various servers then I would guess you'll need to use those same communication lines (whether that be a protocol, port, or physical network) and do some check writing. Obviously simply checking that the service is up on the individual can only tell you that the service is running - not that its not communicating or having a communication problem. I'm not sure how to represent this in Nagios, though. For my part, I've created a host group for a specific customer. The members of this group are all the network devices this customer touches in the process of working with us. Its not visually represented but it does give me a customer specific availability report. On 12/27/06, Todd Mcneill wrote: > I was thinking of something a little more detailed.

There are a few frameworks out there that support adding stats for external consumption. You can also get some coverage in the same way your QA testers do. I have re-purposed some QA tests that provide cross coverage (so if test 1 and test 3 fail in a certain way, but test 2 passes I know what component has failed). Sadly most QA tests take a while to run and place a non-insignificant load on the system but it is a way of trying to get a reasonable code/monitoring coverage. >If you only want to know about the interactions between services on >various servers then I would guess you'll need to use those same >communication lines (whether that be a protocol, port, or physical >network) and do some check writing.

I do a lot of log analysis here looking for expected sequences of log entries meeting timing constraints. Also if you have queries that trigger the communication, and the queries fail to return properly that is a good indicator of the root cause of the failure if you have other tests that target other failure modes. >I'm not sure how to represent this in Nagios, though. The best I have been able to do is to create servicegroups for the services that make up an application. Then document relationships between them in twiki (which is accessed via the services and hosts link in nagios). I am working on a rule based mechanism that allows me to say: service1 fails in a particular way service2 exhibits a particular error 5 minutes later then the mechanism will notify the user of the problem diagnosis (service2 fails because of service1 failure) and that no action is needed unless service 2 doesn't recover within 10 minutes. Note that this is a different reaction than if service2 had failed without the preceding service1 failure. This encodes multiple components of the diagnostic process into an analysis engine whose output can point out likely root causes to the operators. So it's represented in nagios as an overall application health/analysis service that is fed from the rule mechanism.

I have some patches to webinject that help when using nagios with http/xml based queries. However trying to get inside application especially the large enterprise apps (java based or not) is tough. For java at least jconsole may provide some instrumentation at the jvm level and that could be helpful. >> My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. > >In your case at least, this would seem to be a bad decision on their part. :) LOL.

Message-ID: <4592FBE5.4000502@mailnetwork.co.uk> It's been a long road the last couple of weeks, but Nagios Looking Glass 1.0.0#PRE is *now out* for public beta-testing. The Important Bits === ========= ==== The official project site is: http://software.andyshellam.eu/looking-glass.phpx Get the latest release at: http://software.andyshellam.eu/looking-glass/download.phpx On Nagios Exchange: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Frontends.37.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=767&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=10%3A10 Available in Windows Zip, and Unix .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 More Detail ==== ====== In short, NLG is a Web-2.0 browser-based application that appears to work in Firefox, IE and Safari (in order of preference!) It shows visitors the status of your network without giving everyone access to the Nagios CGIs, and starts at a "network summary" view with the options to drill down into servers (hosts) and their metrics (services). New features over the 0.2.x beta-testing series include: - Shared file synchronisation from client-to-server - Data caching on the client-side prevents your Nagios server from being hit multiple times for the same information in a short time-span - Re-designed template system - Re-written stable, developer-friendly, future-proof code-base (hopefully!) - Update notification of new releases This public beta is a chance for everyone to test out NLG on your own networks, and highlight any critical flaws before 1.0.0 goes for final release. There is a code-freeze on the 1.0 branch until the final release of 1.0.0, so only critical fixes will be implemented. Please see the 'Support' section on the above project website to see the best way to report bugs / request new features etc. Thanks to everyone who's beta-tested already, and especially thanks to Mark Novak for the documentation. Hope you enjoy!! Andy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

The only test that I think needs to be done is to check if $_GET['fid'] is a number. If it was to a database I'd definitely make it more secure, but there is no way you can forcibly pass a parameter to NLG. Because the content is rendered (and URLs built) by JavaScript, if you added ?fid= to the query string, the JS ignores it and uses whatever values it holds internally (which are set when you do a select in the filter dropdown, and on initial load are set to 0.) If you requested the full URL that's passed to the poller back-end, you'd find it extremely difficult to decipher it without the s3_class.inc.php file (as this is what the client front-end does) and to the average Joe it'd be a load of figures and numbers (sure you could base64 decode the relevant part of it, but it'd mean nothing without the s3_class.inc.php.) Also if you passed an invalid filter to the poller, I believe (off the top of my head) it'd set it to 0 anyway. Either that, or it'd just return no servers. And you should setup HTTP authentication to the poller's back-end script so your average Joe can't access it without the correct username and password anyway. For 1.0.0 I'll add the check to make sure the parameters are integers, but in the end I think it's a case of much ado about nothing. All the above goes for the group ID as well (gid.) Thanks, Andy.

Show your snmptrapd.conf. traphandle default /usr/sbin/snmptthandler 2. Check your snmptt.ini file in [Exec] section. exec_enable = 1 pre_exec_enable = 1 unknown_trap_exec = 3. Can you execute /usr/share/nagios2/plugins/eventhandlers/submit_check_result manualy? Yes I can execute the manually. 4. submit_check_result must use nsca for transport. Is your nsca can take result? Switch on debug in nsca.conf. I am not using nsca. I don't think it is required because same server is acting as snmptrap server as well as nagios monitoring server. Is it really required? 5. nagios must have properly configured host and service for interpretate getted trap. I have not started working on this as exec statement is not working. For me it's work.

It might not be a security issue to NLG, but passing any variable back to the client, unsanitized, is an opening for cross site scripting (XSS). This is where an attacker feeds the URL for your site (including the bad data) to an unknowing client, that then receives the bad data as part of the returned web page from your site. It is usually an attack directly to the web browser, or to another site, relayed by your site. So, ALL variables that contain data from outside the server environment must be sanitized before use. This is why perl has their "taint" mode. Where all variables that contain external data are "tainted" until sanitized through substitutions and the likes. And it gives errors if a "tainted" variable is used before being sanitized. In PHP, you have to be aware, as it does not have a "taint" like mode. -- And, did Galoka think the Ulus were too ugly to save? -Centauri ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

What happens if you check only a single partition with 1 check? It is a matter of taste but I would like to get a more specific alert if a partition is running low. So I would split it into 1 service per partition. Also I would prefer to keep NFS disks out of such a list and check on them on the NFS server itself.

We have a fairly large SNMP utilization over here. Our Netscreen firewalls send quite a few traps sometimes. On order of 10/s or more during "attacks" (usually virus outbreaks). Wasn't very happy with my monitoring server keel over during an event. So, here is what I have done: 1) snmptrapd does run snmptthandler, but I ported snmptthandler to C. http://lanning.cc/nagios/snmptthandler.c 2) snmptt is run in daemon mode with the modification at the end of this message. 3) Nagios runs this service check for every host http://lanning.cc/nagios/check_snmp_trap 4) The extra service notes URL points to this CGI scipt: http://lanning.cc/nagios/showsnmptraps.txt (in the near future, I am going to put in a way to look at traps other than today) 5) snmptt seems to have a memory leak. (based on amount of traps processed) So, I have a cron job restarting it every 6 hours. 6) snmptrapd seems to also have a memory leak, though smaller than snmptt.

If the > arguments get *doubled* everytime, though... Ok, I have done two things. 1) removed caching of arguments (it now parses arguments every time, in the child process) 2) I have modified all my perl based checks to use "my" instead of "use vars". This is to scope the variables to the package that the service check is encapsulated in. So, now my load seems to have lowered to about 1.5 from 2.2. The CPU time in kernel space no longer grows in that curve fashion as seen in the graphs posted earlier. It still grows but now more linearly and at a slower pace. I started a cron job, every five minutes, that logs the size of the master Nagios process in kilobytes. (pagesize is 8k) The drop from 14920 to 11920 was the cron'd restart of Nagios.

Besides the question if webservices are available to the public or not I would like to explain why I posted my findings. Part of my job is checking on security issues for products we might want to use. You have stated that currently it is not a problem. True. But consider the fact that this is a project in development. From my experience one needs to make sure user input is sanitized since you can't predict the excisting code wil not be expended in a case where other url parameters might be read. Sanitizing is always a good idea. As for people like me, I asume I'm not the only one, we tend to do security audits on code that we might want to use for our office or even for our clients. I will always run a first check before installing any solution. With possible problem's like input that is not sanitized I tend to look for other products since it only costs me more time to to audit code that will have unsanitized parts. Again, I am not stating it is insecure but it is my beleive it could get insecure once a project is growing. I will have the time to do a more specified audit in a few weeks.

So if there is no solution for the above mentioned NRPE_NT/WinNT-problem I will try if a passive check can do the job.

I have used Nagios for many years, ever since before it was called Nagios. It's my preferred open-source monitoring solution. I've also put a lot of time over the years into looking for GUI interface options for Nagios. I, myself, live all day in VI, and I rarely even have X11 installed on my servers. But for others I work with, novice-friendly web interfaces can be real nice. That being said, I like what Groundwork has done a lot. I only discovered what they were doing in the last 6-12 months. Before that, I was generally not satisfied with the quality and features of Nagios GUI options. I've been using the open-source version of Groundwork's package, the latest stable version. (4.5.11, I believe) It made it VERY easy to set up a new server and install all required software. (One big RPM package, mainly) I was also greatly impressed with the quality of the GUI itself. It seems to give easier options for setting up some things, as well as nicer security access options. I highly recommend anyone trying to set up Nagios consider the open-source Groundwork package. For Nagios veterans, well, I'd probably still recommend it about as highly! ;) Is anyone using GroundWork Foundation ( > http://www.groundworkopensource.com/products ) with Nagios?

But if the parent host is down, no alerts are sent for hosts behind the parent (works like a charm). To rephrase the original issue, how should I change the dependencies.cfg, if I really don't want to get any service alerts for dependedent services, if all services rely on the ping status of a parent host PING service? -Miika ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.

Firstly, my understanding of an XSS attack is of the following: - Client requests a page (eg. www.yahoo.com) - Hacker strips the response packets off the wire and replaces them with packets that have come from (eg. www.google.co.uk) - Client receives www.google.co.uk as a result of hacker's actions Sure, this is a problem in sites with login/sensitive details stored in cookies etc, which is over any HTTP connection. If this understanding is correct, is it Google's problem that a hacker is sending it's website in place of a different site? It's a public site after all that anyone (including hackers) can access. Now if the client receives bad data from NLG - the data is only "bad" in the sense that the server list will be empty, or will be reset to the default (filter/group 0.) Dependent on the attack source, it may even only be part of the template (as the full template is requested in 3 parts.) How is this a security risk? Also if the hacker strips the HTTP request from the client (www.yahoo.co.uk) and instead sends it to my webserver, it'll return an error code as it doesn't proxy - again where's the security risk? Sorry if I'm way off, I'll happily work with anyone who wants to offer their support to make NLG "more secure" - but I still maintain the only additional check necessary is that "fid" and "gid" (GET variables) are integers - if they're not, reset them both to 0 (or throw an error if filter/group 0 don't exist.) This will be implemented in 1.0.0. In actual fact the poller already does this: (in "server/s3_poller.php", line 63 - settype($FilterToApply, "integer") and also line 73.) Therefore if the variable is non-integer, it will be forced to 0. The only one thing to do is check that the filter/group exists, and perform the same check on the client-side. Thanks, Andy.

This link is an example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/listings/index.shtml?service_id=4223&DAY=today%22%3E%3Cscript%20src=http://www.securitylab.ru/test/sc.js%3E%3C/script%3E%3C!-- From what I gather, most XSS are script-injections or injections where external data (ie. a GET variable) is changed - in the above case a tag has been inserted. In which case NLG is not vulnerable to these types of attacks as it does not send, verbatim, any GET variables - the 4 variables it uses - "fid, gid, sid, and view" - are only used to request further information (eg. 'view' tells NLG which view to render - server status, network status, or server summary - 'sid' is a server sequence - so 0 gets the first alphabetical server, 1 gets the second server etc. and the same for the group/filter.) It never returns the variable value to print verbatim in the page. Also with the confirmation that the poller does check the variables before using them, I think NLG isn't going to suffer. If any fancies cracking it, and showing me how it can be done, I'll do everything in my power to fix it, but with the addition of the client-side checking of the variables before passing them off to the poller, I'll maintain it's not at risk. Thanks, Andy.

But don't focus on XSS right now, but on what Hans Wolters and others where talking about. It will make thing much easier. > Sure, this is a problem in sites with login/sensitive details stored in > cookies etc, which is over any HTTP connection. What is the problem really? Is has nothing todo with login or sensitive data, but with checking you data and keeping a careful eye on data. So to keep it simple, data should be sanitized always to make sure its in the bounderies as you would expect it and it need to be. But a lot of people also make an incorrect assumption here. They belief that by checking if a variable is an integer at the start of the function that everything is good. No way, in the most extreme form you need to sanitize your data after every operation on it, but that would be too much. But instead of checking everyhing again everytime you can also write your function in a way that you cover every outcome or path you funtion can and should take. A litte C-example below is an exampe of this. int foobar ( int i ) { if ( i > 0 ) if ( i < 100 ) return 0; else return 1; else return 1; } I must say that you're on the right path by saying things like we check if its an integer or else we fix it to zero. But I leave it up to you right know to decide if this is enough, but I think you know the answer already ;-) > If this understanding is correct, is it Google's problem that a hacker > is sending it's website in place of a different site?

You're saying something interesting and that is that everyone can access it. This means the good, the bad and the idiots who think they have found undocumented features and start using it. And here comes the bad part, they start complaining when you fixed a bug and there application stops working. So they stick with the old version, because that one works. This is one to remember, because most software currently arround already depends on code that goes back say 10 or 20 years. Imagion people using your code and the results when it seems your code contains some serious flaws. And I'm not trying to scare you, but it happens everyday and you should be aware of it. > Also if the hacker strips the HTTP request from the client > (www.yahoo.co.uk) and instead sends it to my webserver, it'll return an > error code as it doesn't proxy - again where's the security risk? This is a good question and do you remember what I said about making sure your code can handle any situation? And I think you're starting to see the point. > Sorry if I'm way off, I'll happily work with anyone who wants to offer > their support to make NLG "more secure" - but I still maintain the only > additional check necessary is that "fid" and "gid" (GET variables) are > integers - if they're not, reset them both to 0 (or throw an error if > filter/group 0 don't exist.) This will be implemented in 1.0.0. To be honest you have a couple of few good points here. And I would say may sure 1.0.0 works correct and skip the robustness to a later version. I think that you have enough work on your hands to make sure the application works correct and that you can rewrite some parts afterwards to give the application more reliable and robust. And on your question about support for making NLG more secure, I think you see that its not really about fancy words or manpower. Its more of thinking of what you need and its bounderies, but also building the mousetrap. It gives others less room to poke in your application by feeding it wicked data. I must btw say that this is no garantee that your application can't be abused, because sometimes there are design flaws or just logical issues. But hopefully you then will laugh about those issues and see them as challanges. > In actual fact the poller already does this: (in "server/s3_poller.php", > line 63 - settype($FilterToApply, "integer") and also line 73.) > Therefore if the variable is non-integer, it will be forced to 0.

Thanks for the wonderfully detailed e-mail btw, made good reading and I certainly don't see it as a personal attack - I'm starting out in web-apps design, but saying that I have about 5 years PHP exp under my belt - this is my first live app (lots of other projects shelved - I'm sure you know the drill) and security is something high on my "things to get to grips with" list! Right back to your e-mail, let me try to explain: Hans Spaans wrote: > I'm reading your responses and from others, but I'm under impression > that you're trying to fight symptoms instead of really focus your > energy on the real problem. Nope, in a sense yes I want to get things sorted as much as possible, but I don't see that there is a problem - save for the extra sanitation check on the client-side (the poller already does this.) Equally I feel that I have to understand how the symptoms cause a problem in order to get the bottom of *why* the problem can occur in the first-place.

There's nothing sensitive about the data - anything anybody could get from NLG by forging variables is nothing more than they could get through the normal interface anyway. NLG cannot be used to inject scripts into the HTML output as it doesn't use the GET variables to generate any HTML anywhere, and the check on the poller side will force the variables to 0 if a user tried to inject any HTML code (sure this check needs to be performed on the client-side too, but even without it, I cannot see a way in which arbitrary HTML code can be executed using the GET variables.) > But a lot of people also make an incorrect assumption here.

But yes, I agree with your point entirely, that's why the code is written to work in PHP5 only, as a lot of PHP flaws from 4.x were fixed in 5. One thing I probably will do in future versions of NLG is to check the PHP config for things such as register_globals being off and other security problems that could leave the server open to attack etc. As for rogue-people using the app - the data from the poller is a serialised, base64-encoded representation of the s3_class (which is a snapshot of the network/server overview.) Without the source code (say someone screen-scraping your poller), even base64-decoding the data, they'd get a long string of (mostly) useless data. But, with HTTP authentication on the poller feed, and HTTPS encryption, this wouldn't be an issue - the rogues would have to get the data from the front-end UI. > This is a good question and do you remember what I said about making > sure your code can handle any situation?

When development is in progress, yep, get it working first, then secure it - but I feel 1.0.0 should be stable and secure within the current code-base - which is why I'm not adding new features and such, and primarily focusing on hardening up the existing code. > And on your question about support for making NLG more secure, I think > you see that its not really about fancy words or manpower.

Your client will need an inbound rule allowing traffic to destination port 5666 from the Nagios server, and an outbound rule allowing traffic from source port 5666 to the Nagios server.

If you add PNP (PNP is not Perfparse) from http://ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp_en you will get integrated RRD graphing of plugin performance data (i.e. CPU utilization, disk space, network interface utilization). For SNMP I use the plugins from http://www.manubulon.com/nagios/ For instructions on integrating PNP with GWKM, see http://www.groundworkopensource.com/community/forums/viewtopic.php?t=528 Using the VM has definite advantages over a dedicated installation - with the VM someone else (no less than Rich Trezza from Groundwork itself) has done all the hard work of installing all the various packages and making sure they work. You can shut down Nagios, make a backup copy of the VM and then apply patches/upgrades/new packages etc. If you break something, simply roll back to the backup copy. This has saved me more than once. Groundwork have done a great job of the configuration GUI for Nagios. Adding new hosts, services, plugins etc is very straightforward. Grouping services into "Profiles" allows you to add a new host with a bunch of services in one hit. If you need any help with Groundwork Monitor or PNP, just yell.

That is correct. > If that's the case, then please check if the xinetd daemon is running > and what the setting for nagios-nrpe are for xinetd. As far as the client is concerned, nrpe is not being run via xinetd, it is being run as a standalone daemon. This is command syntax that is used for running the daemon: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d The user account running the daemon is nagios. This account has its own home directory, password, and uses the /bin/bash shell. As far as the server is concerned, nrpe is not present in xinetd, but does have a startup script in the /etc/init.d directory. It is currently not turned on, but it can be if so needed. > What's your NRPE version on the server and the client machine? The version of NRPE on the server is 2.5.1, and this is the package that came bundled with the operating system which is Fedora Core 5. The version of NRPE on the client is also 2.5.1. The difference between that on the server and client is that the client was compiled from source. Also, even though the client version is 2.5.1, according to the tar file that I downloaded from the Nagios website, the version is supposedly 2.5.2. -----Original Message----- From: David Gerbec [mailto:david.gerbec at agenda.si] Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 9:30 AM To: Kaplan, Andrew H.

As far as the client is concerned, nrpe is not being run via xinetd, it is being run as a standalone daemon. This is command syntax that is used for running the daemon: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d The user account running the daemon is nagios. This account has its own home directory, password, and uses the /bin/bash shell. As far as the server is concerned, nrpe is not present in xinetd, but does have a startup script in the /etc/init.d directory. It is currently not turned on, but it can be if so needed. > What's your NRPE version on the server and the client machine? The version of NRPE on the server is 2.5.1, and this is the package that came bundled with the operating system which is Fedora Core 5. The version of NRPE on the client is also 2.5.1. The difference between that on the server and client is that the client was compiled from source. Also, even though the client version is 2.5.1, according to the tar file that I downloaded from the Nagios website, the version is supposedly 2.5.2. -----Original Message----- From: David Gerbec [mailto:david.gerbec at agenda.si] Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 9:30 AM To: Kaplan, Andrew H.

The way I deal with this is I generate an HTML file that I place on the nagios server and the one line that I return as the status is a link to this file. It would be nice if this were generalized such that if only one line were returned to nagios, it would be displayed. But if multiple lines were returned then nagios would create an HTML file from lines 2-N and URLize the first line to point to this file. Any opinions on this idea?

As an experiment I reconfigured the nrpe client and check_nrpe plugin to not use SSL by including the -n option in both cases. The error message that I am now getting is NRPE: Unable to read output. I stopped the Nagios server daemon and cleaned everything out of the var directory, which in this case was the /var/log/nagios directory. I then restarted the nagios server, and new error message reappeared. I then stopped the nagios server and nrpe clients and reconfigured both to use SSL by removing the -n option. Then I activated the nrpe client and then the nagios server. The error message I then got was socket timeout after 10 seconds. ________________________________ From: Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists) [mailto:andy.shellam-lists at mailnetwork.co.uk] Sent: Fri 12/29/2006 10:40 AM To: Kaplan, Andrew H.

Any hopes of getting this feature into a >future release of Nagios? Nagios 3 will support multiline output, although I am not sure of the mechanism. I am guessing that the unique event ID that is part of nagios 3 is used to label the multi-line output when it is broken into small enough chunks to be (atomically) fed back to the nagios core. In any case, at a prior employer I created a plugin wrapper that captured the output from it's child plugins and and sent back a URL to the file with all the output once the non-performance part of the output got too large (360 char or so IIRC). The only problem was that the html file could be opened by anybody (bypassing nagios permission checks), but the name was random (well an md5 hash of the script pid and time) and unique (more or less), so people could guess it but it was good enough for what we needed at the time. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
