It uses amavisd. He can monitor it via check_tcp, but if amavisd is not functional, _he's not going to get the email alert._ Because his email isn't going to work. So I think what he's asking, is how to get the alert to him, if his email system is not fully functional. If this is correct, he could look at using a modem to page, or an email alert sent directly to a remote SMTP gateway, or any number of things. Robert, is this the problem you're trying to get across?

Length check interval is not possible, because i am not the one who actually configure all checks, that is a task for the server administrator who really know the monitoring needs of his server and services. So, i can't start messing up with the configuration. Instead, i have raised the check_freshness_interval to 5 minutes, but i am not sure if this will avoid the amount of staled services, by not checking service freshness or if it will not show staled results anymore between 5 minutes threshold. It is not clear to me, even after re-reading docs over and over.

It sounds as if you have nagios as a member of the apache group, but are you running nagios as "nagios" (user/group) Is Apache running as "apache". You may also want to check the directories/files to ensure they are a part of correct group/ownership. I know this may sound simple, but it has bitten me more than once.

If you are using amavisd, then I take it you have this sort of setup: port 25 SMTPd ----> port 10024 amavisd ---> port 10025 SMTPd ----> deliver although you might have missed out the first step and just had amavisd on port 25. If this is the case, why not configure your Nagios notification command to inject its mail directly into the system on port 10025 rather than the default 25? That way you'd bypass amavisd and directly deliver. Of course you'd still be dependent on the local smtp daemon, but amavisd would be out of the loop. Of course, you've probably got port 10025 locked down to localhost only (if you're sensible :) but that shouldn't prevent Nagios from accessing it.

I also created one for the service notification as well. Email has munged this a bit so synopsis is: define command{ command_name host-notify-by-sendEmail These 2 are the command defining lines The command_line below I have broken to make more readable but to work this all has to be on one line ??? command_line /usr/local/bin/sendEmail This bit above will be dependant on where you copy/install the script. -f is the email from field. This will need to changed to an email account that the server will allow email to be sent from. -t is the to email to field. This here uses the $CONTACTEMAILS$ macro. -u is the subject line. "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" is directly from the original send email command. -s is the server that the email is going to be sent to. Note that this server must be configured to accept emails from both the -f email account and the host that this script is running on to avoid relay denied messages. -m is the message content. Again taken from the original send email command. Note that the \n's make the display a bit prettier. "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME $\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" For other options like attachments etc. just run the sendEmail script without any options. As the script requires a couple of mandatory options it prints the help file. I use this script for all sorts of purposes like emailing log files, etc. Very handy. And in the contacts.cfg change the service_notification_commands notify-by-email host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email to service_notification_commands notify-by-sendEmail host_notification_commands host-notify-by-sendEmail for each user you wish to use the sendEmail script instead of the built in email client.

I thus need service definitions that don't check the service on the host address, but on a dedicated "service address" while still being associated to the host which has a different address. I have come up with various ways to do this, each of them ugly, but differently so. (1) Duplicate each command definition for a service check like define command{ command_name check_http command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ } define command{ command_name check_http_addr command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ } (2) One other idea I have come up with would be having a thing like an "optional argument", which could be configured like define command{ command_name check_http command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $IFDEF $ARG1$$ $ARG1$ $ELSE$ $HOSTADDRESS$ $ENDIF$ } (3) A different approach (which is what I did back in netsaint days) was a metaplugin, which allows command configuration like define command { command_name check_http command_line $USER2$/modify_address $HOSTADDRESS$-$ARG1$ $USER1$/check_dns_random modify_address } which allows service definitions like define service { ... check_command check_http } which checks the service on $HOSTADDRESS$ and define service { ... check_command check_http!192.168.130.5 } which checks the service on 192.168.130.5. In the example, the metaplugin replaces the occurence of the string modify_address with $HOSTADDRESS$ if $ARG1$ is empty, and $ARG1$ otherwise. This has the advantage of having a very straightforward service configuration, at the price of having a confusing and complex command definition which does not use nagios standard mechanisms. (4) The last approach would be to have host definitions for both IP addresses, but that would probably be confusing for notification recipients who are not so intimately familiar with system architecture. Which approach would, in your opinion, be appropriate for a new installation? I am currently inclined towards (4). What is your opinion?

I'm pretty comfortable with this, and am pretty sure the permissions are fine. All the files are world-readable except for resource.cfg which is only readable by user (root) and group (admin). If I try to use "sudo /etc/init.d/nagios force-reload" to restart Nagios, I get no errors on the screen, but in the event log: Error: Cannot open resource file '/disk0/tools/nagios-2.0rc2/etc/resource.cfg' for reading! and Nagios starts running, but since $USER1$ is not defined, all the checks start failing. However, if I "su" to root first, and then run "/etc/init.d/nagios force-reload" everything starts correctly. Apparently, there is a subtle difference between using "sudo" verses "su". Any ideas? I've already come up with two possible solutions... 1) Put the "nagios" user into the "admin" group, which would ensure that Nagios could read the files. 2) Change the group ownership of the $NAGIOS/etc files back to "nagios" and add my admin staff into the "nagios" group. This is likely the better solution, especially if there are certain admins that I don't want messing with the Nagios configuration!

I'm having some very frustrating trouble getting NagiosGrapher working. Since it doesn't have it sown mialing lists, figured I'd ask here. I've followed the install instructions provided, but when running the collection script, collect2.pl, I get a perl error back claiming it can't find the 'new' constructor on XML::Simple. Specific error: Can't locate object method "new" via package "XML::Simple" (perhaps you forgot to load "XML::Simple"?) at NagiosGrapher.pm line 367. This is on Redhat WS 4 with Perl 5.8.5-24. I installed XML::Simple from CPAN since Redhat doesn't have a package for it. It shows up correctly in the POD index, so I'm fairly sure I installed it correctly. Could this be a NagiosGrapher bug, or is my perl install just mucked up? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

That you've been staring at the problem from waaay too close :^) Seriously, all you need to do is to define (in Nagios, not necessarily in the DNS, although that probably wouldn't hurt) separate hosts for the different interfaces, a la define host{ use corp-host host_name mink-ge0 alias mink address 10.10.10.10 } define host{ use corp-host host_name mink-ge1 alias mink address 10.10.10.10 } Once you have that, you just define the services for each "host" as appropriate. -Guy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

WHile not on RHEL4 but FC4 there are packages out there to do the job. Like atrpms (http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/) and other archives. If you insist on getting them fro CPAN I suggest you at least repackage them to solve dependencies issue with the CPAN2RPM tool. But that is in fact al besides Nagios. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

We have a host group for all our servers. We have separate contact groups depending on whether the server is UNIX or Windows. Our admins get added to the contact group depending on which OS they support. If I select "host detail" /cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail I see all the hosts that I'm on the contact list. However, when I try to select "host group" /cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=overview I get an error message indicating that I'm not authorized. I'm suspecting that since the host group contains servers that I'm NOT on the contact list for, I don't get to see _any_ of the group. Feature? Bug?

Though it might be sufficient to remove the leading dots in the sub-expressions. I simply can't imagine that every disk space entry in the performance data line starts with a decimal point. Better, though, would be to use expressions that actually match normal decimal numbers, like '([0-9]+\.?[0-9]*)' or something. > and push @s, [ ntdisk, > [ diskused, GAUGE, $1*1024**3 ], > [ diskwarn, GAUGE, $2*1024**3 ], > [ diskcrit, GAUGE, $3*1024**3 ], > [ diskmaxi, GAUGE, $5*1024**3 ] ]; > > > second one > This one has never worked or created a rrd file, trying to map the count > with memory > > data > CRITICAL - no processes found resembling > 'hciengine.exe'-count=27:memory=673676 > > map file entry > /output;*count=(\d+);memory=([.0-9]+)Mb;/ Sure.

Ah yes--missed that one (probably because it was so short compared to the others), sorry. Regarding recipient confusion with this method, you'll notice my sample defs used a common alias. The alias is what gets reported, so recipients wouldn't see different hostnames--just different service names. -Guy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

(That word assumed makes me feel uneasy about it). Just what does your config look like? I got something like: define hostextinfo{ host_name gandalf icon_image base/redhat.png icon_image_alt Fedora Core 1 vrml_image base/redhat.png statusmap_image base/redhat.gd2 } Or: define hostextinfo{ host_name anfalas icon_image cook/dsl_router.png icon_image_alt Cisco 836 / IOS 12.3 vrml_image cook/dsl_router.png statusmap_image cook/dsl_router.gd2 } Th first one is a default one which resides in /usr/share/nagios/images/logos/base/redhat.png I added the other image sets from nagios exchange.

Version info: FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-P2 Nagios 2.0.r2 Nagios-plugins 1.4.2 NRPE 2.3 The plugin in question, check_swap, was returning the following information when ran through NRPE. SWAP CRITICAL - 100% free (0 MB out of 0 MB) |swap=0MB;0;0;0;0 Running it from the local machine (as root) the plugin functioned completely normally. What I've narrowed it down to is that on this box the user nagios doesn't have permission to view information about the swap space on the machine (specifically the /dev/mem and /dev/kmem device files). I adjusted the permission on these files, and all is working as it should now. I have a feeling that some of the other plugins that use device files would suffer the same fate. Perhaps a permissions check on the device files should be checked in the configure script for nagios plugins since the plugins themselves don't do any error-handling for this condition? (Yeah I know...you should be able to assume the perms on the system are correct but still) Hope this helps somebody in the future.

Both Windows (and NetWare) do not support this functionality in their PERL implementations. The script does account for Windows (I had to modify it for NetWare) by detecting the OS and turning off that function. I am wondering if FreeBSD implementation of this alert function is not working correctly. Or as the program works when running at commandline that a permissions issue is being seen with this function. I do not have a freeBSD to try the script on myself. Not sure of your hacking skills but the lines that involve this alarm() call are documented in the code and all I did for NetWare was add to the OS test, at each of the places where it tests for Windows (about 5 or 6), the string returned by NetWare.

Message-ID: Dear Folks, I am writing with mainly a rant about Graphing and Reporting. 1 About graphing with Nagios Why would one bother when 1.1 Cacti does such a good job 1.2 Nagios could check the Cacti RRDs with either check_rrd, or by an outboard (Cron scheduled) RRD poller that submits passive service check results 1.3 the graphs can be associated with Nag service checks by either - explict URL of the Cacti graph in the service check output - for the adventurous, a Wiki front end that displays some of the Nag CGI service status and a link to the Cacti graph. As a footnote, since Cacti supports RRD 1.2 with built-in supported Holt Winters forecasting RRAs, the poller could be smart and simply check the exception Data store to see if the current rate is in fact outside the normal seasonal variation (computed by the Holt Winters algorithm inside the RRD). Of course this would require the modification of the RRDs that Cacti produces to add the HW RRAs (this doesn't require that the RRD content be unloaded and reloaded IIRC). 2 About reporting After writing a lot of code in Nagios::Report to extract and report on Nagios availability data it occurs to me that a better way of doing Reporting is to 2.1 put the availability data in a DB table (prob with an auto-incremented index) 2.2 use either 2.2.1 ad-hoc SQL queries, or 2.2.2 the reporting package of your choice (eg iReport) I hope that Nagios::Report will be enhance to take advantage of DBD::Ram, a Perl module that very easily gets a CSV file with LWP and sticks it in an in core DB that can almost as easily be used as a Data source to insert rows into the DB of your choice (MySQL, or whatever). and now back to our normal program.

Oh yes, I have problems with these, also. Please feel free to rant away at length. > 1 About graphing with Nagios > Why would one bother when > 1.1 Cacti does such a good job > 1.2 Nagios could check the Cacti RRDs with either We use MRTG/routers2 (on a different server) to do the graphing for a similar reason. MRTG can query the Nagios agents and extract the numbers for graphing, and routers2 has a Nagios plugin to link back to Nagios. The only minor drawback is that you end up with two queries going to the host (one from Nagios, one from MRTG) rather than just the one you'd get if using the Nagios graphing extensions. This also doesnt work for passive services. > 2 About reporting > 2.1 put the availability data in a DB table (prob with an > auto-incremented index) > 2.2 use either > 2.2.1 ad-hoc SQL queries, or > 2.2.2 the reporting package of your choice (eg iReport) Definitely. Querying the Nagios .log files is a deadend that I've finally given up on. It is a simple matter to install mysql on the same server, set up a log table, and nightly process your text logs into the database. Note that you need a unique index for many applications, and time/host/service is not unique. I found we can use time/host/service/state as a unique index for alerts, and discard any duplicates - but this would not be appropriate for people who (eg) send multiple syslog critical entries, for example. We only load the alerts, not notification and other log entries. I can let people have a copy of my perl nagioslog->mysql alert data loader if they want. Once you've got it into mysql, then there is an ODBC driver for mysql you can use under windows. Reporting is massively faster this way! Not only that, but you can do much post-processing so that you add an 'in scheduled downtime' flag to the alert records which is very useful (why doesn't Nagios log the downtime state?) My wishlist for Nagios? 0) Two levels of access - readonly and manage - on a per contact, per service level. Dont just give 'manage' access to everyone listed as a contact for that service. 1) Add downtime (and parent-in-downtime) flags to the log entries, also alert-disabled flags and all the other status flags. 2) Add optional database plugins for mysql, mssql, oracle.... instead of the .log files 3) More features in the map functions 4) Something so you can see who will be alerted by a particular service at any given time 5) A reporting tool for SLA reporting to give % time in unscheduled downtime over a whole hostgroup. 6) cmd.cgi should have dropdown lists where possible, and make checks for hostname/servicename validity. I've already coded this in on our (1.2) version. 7) Downtime schedules should have an optional flag for 'repeat' that will re-scedule themselves for next day/week etc. Thankyou for your time! Maybe I should be posting to the nagios-devel list, or finding some time to help code these myself...

Main problem: Both systems have their own host/service configuration systems, so you'll end up duplicating all the data entry. One is PHP/MySQL, the other is binary/text cfg files, which doesn't lend itself to a simple templated configurator for both systems. If run on different servers, you'll also have to contend with check_rrd via NFS, NRPE, etc. I think what people want (and I see lots of such questions) is a "Graph This Service" checkbox plus a fruity-like web config interface. Given those two, cacti would be out on the curb. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?

We get around this with a home-grown configuration system, which outputs not just the Nagios configuration files, but also files for MRTG, updates a mysql database, creates LDAP users for access, and so on. The configuration tool also probes hosts for agents, hooks in templates, and probes switches and routers for port information and determines parent relationships for Nagios and connection info for crosslinking in MRTG. Sadly this tool is too customised for our environment for me to make it available for general release.

You forgot a couple: use the "Extra Service Actions" link on the Service Information page to link to cacti for the host using a link like: http://cacti.my.server/cacti/graph_view.php?action=preview&filter=monitored_host A second way is available due to a patch I got added to nagios. If the page footer and header are executable, they are executed (as a cgi) when the page loads and can be used to load graphs/menus etc. automatically based on service, host, user or other CGI variable. As a demo I used drraw to create nice dashboard and plot different data items from separate rrd's (e.g. a graph of all ping times to all hosts at a single site and a second network throughput graph displayed nice and large together on a single page) for easy analysis. It was displayed anytime I went to the PingCheck page for a couple of hosts. > As a footnote, since Cacti supports RRD 1.2 with built-in supported Hmm, must have missed that last I knew it only supported the 1.1 series. Cool thanks for the update. > Holt Winters forecasting RRAs, the poller could be smart and simply > check the exception Data store to see if the current rate is in fact > outside the normal seasonal variation (computed by the Holt Winters > algorithm inside the RRD). Yup my idea exactly. Use nagios to monitor for worst case (e.g. ping time > 1 second) and put the nagios data into rrd's to use the Holt-Winters forecasting to look for early signs of a problem before they trigger the nagios thresholds. >2 About reporting > >After writing a lot of code in Nagios::Report to extract and report on >Nagios availability data it occurs to me that a better way of doing >Reporting is to > > 2.1 put the availability data in a DB table (prob with an >auto-incremented index) What would be nice is a sqlite datastore and event broker.

Neat idea. Could use: DBD-SQLite-1.11 as the back end too. Sadly I don't see much for reporting tools for SQLite. However it does have ODBC and JDBC connectors and a bunch of bindings for tcl/tk, perl, python, ruby etc. SQLite is a nice "throw away" database easy to set up, load, query and destroy. > Not off topic as far as I am concerned.

Message-ID: Dear Folks, I am writing to report a possible anomaly/bug in avail.cgi for Nag 2.0 rc2 (RPM based on Dag Wieers for RHEL3). The problem is that when a host has exited a period of scheduled downtime, the 'Host log entries' shown by avail.cgi look like Event Start Time Event End Time Event Duration Event/State Type Event/State Information 01-02-2006 00:00:00 01-02-2006 14:27:54 0d 14h 27m 54s HOST UP (HARD) PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.82 ms 02-02-2006 20:59:44 02-02-2006 20:59:44 0d 0h 0m 0s HOST DOWN (HARD) CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds 02-02-2006 20:59:44 02-02-2006 21:06:53 0d 0h 7m 9s HOST DOWNTIME START Start of scheduled downtime 02-02-2006 21:06:53 02-02-2006 22:59:44 0d 1h 52m 51s HOST UP (HARD) PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.71 ms 02-02-2006 22:59:44 03-02-2006 11:35:39 0d 12h 35m 55s+ HOST DOWNTIME END End of scheduled downtime and then the next time the Report is run the last line shows again how long it was since the host exited downtime (ie now minus the downtime end). eg Event Start Time Event End Time Event Duration Event/State Type Event/State Information 01-02-2006 00:00:00 01-02-2006 14:27:54 0d 14h 27m 54s HOST UP (HARD) PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.82 ms 02-02-2006 20:59:44 02-02-2006 20:59:44 0d 0h 0m 0s HOST DOWN (HARD) CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds 02-02-2006 20:59:44 02-02-2006 21:06:53 0d 0h 7m 9s HOST DOWNTIME START Start of scheduled downtime 02-02-2006 21:06:53 02-02-2006 22:59:44 0d 1h 52m 51s HOST UP (HARD) PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.71 ms 02-02-2006 22:59:44 03-02-2006 11:41:51 0d 12h 42m 7s+ HOST DOWNTIME END End of scheduled downtime This looks a little peculiar to me. It's not a bug but unfortunately violates the principle of least surprise (don't know what I was expecting but ..) and for those of us who mine the host log entries it means some code modification. The behaviour of the CGI seems Ok - the event duration is simply the time to the last event - and seems reasonable. Thanks for your time.

Working on larger sites I know that this sort of thing can be very important. However have to watchout that, like the thread on reporting graphs etc., is this really a function of Nagios or a more full on HelpDesk system?

In fact you have to add a service for your equipment, if not, nagios will mark the host with pending status because is waiting for some service to monitor. For example you have a router defined in hosts.cfg: # 'router1' host definition define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name router1 alias Router #1 address 192.168.1.254 check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 20 notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r } Then you have to add the following into services.cfg to monitor the host: # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name router1 service_description PING is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups router-admins notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60% } The last configuration is the most simple monitor.

This is a question that is impossible to answer. You give us no clues what your setup looks like. (config files) You give us no clueas what sort of service went critical and what they did report. We know nothing apart from what you tell us on this mailinglist so if you expect any help you need to provide enough details to fully understand the issue.

Message-ID: <20060203114234.GB11467@torres.l21.ma.zugschlus.de> Hi, to me, the distinction between host definition and hostextinfo definition seems artificial, awkward and clumsy - and it prevents some of the more powerful features from being used with the information that belongs into hostextinfo. Hostextinfo doesn't seem to support templates, and it doesn't seem to be possible to set information that is set as hostextinfo from a host group or via wildcards. This makes it extraordinarily hard to - for example - set host icons for the status map, since it needs a dedicated hostextinfo definition setting icon_image and statusmap_image for each host which might have all other properties set from a template. Is there any reason for keeping this distinction and not including hostextinfo into main configuration? Am I missing something here?

When I go through the web interface and schedule forced checks, this works fine until I hit the max_check_attempts and the service falls into a hard state. After that, even if I schedule a new check, I see the check request in the log file, but the check is never performed. This means that the only way to get it to test again is to wait until its next officially scheduled check. I had asked in one of the IRC channels and was told that this was not supposed to be the case. Is this something related to 2.0rc2 or something I should not be experiencing at all, even on this version? If so, any ideas on what could be wrong?

The problem I am having is how to avoid sending recovery pages to people who didn't get the problem pages. I want to be stateless, so I can't track who was sent the page. The idea is to determine what level the recover is for (ie, critical or warn), see if the user would have gotten a page for that service/problem level, and if so, send the recovery page. I was thinking of playing with the $LASTSERVICE*$ macros, but cant figure out an algorithm that will work for both the OK -> CRIT -> OK, case and the OK -> WARN -> CRIT -> WARN -> OK case, vs the OK -> WARN -> OK case.

However, I would like to be notified if the service is still down as soon as the service enters into a notification period. Is this possible? It seems like this will happen only if the service is still down AND only after it reaches the notification_interval.

Mind you the 11 % is not counting what is used up for buffers and cache. So if you look at the second line of your result from free you will see 54168 used which is your 11 % (before some hefty rounding). Note that the first line of free gives you the amount of mem used for caching and buffers on top of what applications use to come to a grand total of 253588 mem used. I am guessing thats the value you are looking at and thats what got you confused. Cheers, Hans On 2/4/06, Dirk H.

I am guessing that I probably have a file permission/selinux context issue somewhere but I am having difficulty tracking this down. Can anyone provide some clues as to what files i can look at ? How does the cgi determine that I am do not have access to external commands ?

I was trying to use my own 'maing' config file which was causing me the grief. Now I am seeing the error message : "Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd'! The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands." My nagios user is : nagios, http is apache and the permissions on this file are correct....sigh...one step at a time...any ideas ? Yong.

Message-ID: Dear Folks, Firstly thanks to all that answered either on the list or privately. I will now attempt to emulate a journalling file system by summarising the responses. 1 Having Nagios availability in a DB is a good thing. Doing so reduces the cost of reporting since there is are data representation/conversion problems and the extraction can be done with SQL thereby minimising the script-hell problem. 2 Availability data capture Mr Shipways approach is too process the Nag logs periodically with private/in-house (AFAIK) code to extract the entries of interest and insert them as rows in a table(s). (Incidentally, this sounds very enterprising since the extraction code has to deal with all the cases handled by avail.cgi. The difficulty of extracting outages from the logs is why I chose to use avail.cgi as a source of availability data). Other approaches include event handlers that insert a row at the end of an outage. This is easy to code but unfortch since AFAIk, there is no macro that indicates if scheduled down time was prevailing may require manual post processing to update the column 'IN_SCHED_DOWNTIME'. 3 Reporting >From Mr Shipway, Rouillard. There are at least two DBs with ODBC connectors (SQL Lite and MySQL) available. This is very important since the availability of ODBC connectors make available the wealth of MS applications for 3.1 client programs eg update your DB with Excel 3.2 reporting - use Excel charts for example 4 Re-use Any site worth its salt will ultimately recognise the need for various registries/directories that reduce the cost of client coding. Such registries/directories include 4.1 Provider circuit IDs 4.2 Addressing/subnets/VLANs etc etc 4.3 Managed nodes It would be helful if the Nagios config data could also be made available as a DB. Personally I think it would a bad thing if Nagios lost its template/text driven config but the config data should be made available to other applications so that there is not the endless client code churn of mapping names between applications. One approach would be to use Al Tobeys Nagios::Config to load a config DB. Why is this useful ? At least one application is mapping structured node names to those used in Reports. What exec understands benrt200 ? What about Bendigo ? Thanks for your time. Yours sincerely. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Hi all, I hope someone can help me with a very puzzling problem. I am trying to enable external commands so that I can temporarily disable notifications of a known problem. I have the following setup in my configuration file: check_external_commands=1 command_check_interval=1 command_file=/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd However, everytime i want to use the disable command, I get the message : Sorry, but Nagios is currently not checking for external commands, so your command will not be committed! I am guessing that I probably have a file permission/selinux context issue somewhere but I am having difficulty tracking this down. Can anyone provide some clues as to what files i can look at ? How does the cgi determine that I am do not have access to external commands ?

I have a nagios installation running on host A monitoring the network. I want to set up a duplicate monitor on host B which is 10 or so hops from A, but does have parent links pointing to host A. Does anybody have a script that will read a nagios config file and create a new nagios config file where the parents for the hosts are rewritten to correspond to nagios running on host B. All my links are bi-directional fortunately so it is a "simple walk" of the nagios tree graph starting at node B and changing the direction of every link. While this is simple conceptually, it is a bit of work to code from scratch. I have looked at Al Tobey's Nagios:Config to put the graph in memory and will probably base my code on that unless somebody has a tool that does it already. Googling and searching nagiosexchange haven't turned up anything useful. Thanks for any ideas, pointers or code. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

But basically I want an alert if there is more than one line in this output. I have not run across a plug that would allow for this, does any one know of one that might suffice. BTW, the bmcutils are only installed on a couple of the nodes in the cluster so I need to run the ipmish command on a remote host not the node that I am checking for. Example: host242 is the nagios server and also has the ipmish/bmc utilities installed, and can provide the information for all hosts.

But it is not at all reliable. Some services are updated properly every poll. But some other fail to update sometimes or even fail to update most of the times resulting in graphs with only some snippets. If the service was failing intermittently I might explain the issue but I would go crazy by the alerts if this was the case. The nagios log does not show problem with the services that do not update. Might this be an issue with the named pipe setup? Perhaps a limit on the number of events it can handle? (With 26 hosts and 57 services I would expect this is not the issue.)

The difficulty of extracting outages from the logs > is why I chose to use avail.cgi as a source of availability data). My perl script eats the nagios log files (from the archive directory), and copies them straight to a database. It actually filters out just the ones I'm currently interested in - host and service alerts, and host and service downtime. The script also creates all the database tables and so on if necessary. Then, my reporting tool takes care of calculating on a per-host and service basis what the downtime is (much easier using a database). The problem with it is that a particular stretch of downtime may lie partly in scheduled and partly in unscheduled, or the parent host of a service may be down for part of it. This means you cannot flag each event with a 'scheduled/unscheduled' flag. It is possible, though, to calculate event length as you go although the ends of a logfile present a bit of a problem, too. I did think of splitting events up into scheduled/unscheduled portions, but this would give problems when counting events from the log. I'm also putting together some scripts (using Nagios::Config as suggested) which load the current configuration of hosts, services, and hostextinfo into a database, mainly for reading purposes (we have a different tool which maintains the config files). The hostextinfo is a useful one, since I've already modified an existing tool for maintaining the 2d-coords to read/write its data to the mysql database. Once this is a bit more stable and documented, I hope to upload to nagiosexchange. It does bring the question, though, of why Nagios itself does not contain at least mysql database support, and preferably some sort of database plugin for this.

I would definitely like a 'issue_commands=' option for a contact, since we don't need to have any more granularity than that (eg, read this service, admin that one...) I'm currently wary, though, of making too many (any) modifications to Nagios 1.2 code when 2.0 is just around the corner. Too many site customisations mean an inability to upgrade.

This message means that Nagios cannot find a host called 'IVAN' in the definitions. Are you 100% sure you have defined this host, on the server which is receiving the NSCA alerts and producing this log (the central server)? Have you defined it in all upper case, like the NSCA alert is being received? It's case sensitive, remember. Nagios will not automatically define a host just because it is defined on a downstream server, so you have to define it on both servers.

I am currently running Nagios 2.0rc2 with 451 hosts and 1733 services. I've recently upgraded from Netsaint (0.78b I think). During this upgrade I took the time to reexamine my configurations to take advantage of the grouping logic and regular expression features in Nagios. This help make the setup much easier, faster, and more consistent than it ever was under Netsaint. Kudos! All of the following assumes that I'm doing things to the best of my understanding, and if they are incorrect or misguided in some way, I'd be more than happy to discuss the 'correct' way of implementing these features. I'm starting to run into a few operational issues that I'd like to raise. One of the most annoying is that RECOVERY should actually have a state for EACH type of RECOVERY that can exist. That way, I'm not getting RECOVERY notices for WARNINGS that I didn't get in the first place (because I don't care about WARNINGS in most cases.). I should only ever get RECOVERY for states which I've already indicated I want to receive their corresponding original alert from. The other is that HOST level notification/check_periods should be inherited by any service being check on that HOST unless explicitly overridden. For example, I have a host with 10 services on it (checking disk space in various file systems, checking for certain named processes to be running) and it has a HOST level notification_period (maintenance window) from Saturday at 1800 till Sunday 1000. Every week. I don't want to, or need to know about service changes during these times. I'm the user, and I'm requesting a black out of notifications during this time. If there are (still) problems after 1000 on Sunday, I do need to know about them or take action. The best answers I can seem to find seem to be workarounds that will cause me more overall upkeep and/or are counter to the whole idea of using grouping logic to begin with. Creating a separate, non-dynamic cron offshoot to take care of this for me while functional requires me to basically go and define another list of items (and upkeep them) to deal with and is completely external to Nagios. Defining each service individually so that they all can have 1 host assigned to them so they can have different maintenance windows as needed is totally against the grouping logic and allows again for much easier divergence from a set standard. Having 25 linux machines all in a linux host group because I want to check 10 common services rocks. However, not all 25 servers will have the same (or even overlapping) maintenance windows, so creating 25*10 separate service entries instead of just 10 sucks eggs. Maintaining the maintenance window at the host level makes perfect sense to me. Creating more host groups doesn't seem like any better of a solution and will just make things more difficult to find under the Hostgroup sections of the web display. By not understanding something am I trying to use this in a way which it was never intended? This seem like a pretty logical feature to me, of course. Can anyone offer me advice?

About a week and a half ago, notifications stopped going out in email or page. I didn't notice it until Saturday, unfortunately, and I've been changing the .cfg files throughout that time, so I can't be sure what things looked like "before" versus "after." The odd thing is that verification shows no major problems. And it thinks it did send out the notifications. If I go to the notification page, it shows all the alerts that should have been sent, to me and others. So it's not a question of a status I think should trigger a notification and doesn't. It's just that the notification never gets anywhere. If I go to the mail spool, there doesn't seem to be anything waiting. If I look at the mail log, it doesn't show anything being sent from Nagios.

The current state is rather bad in fact. The rrd files tresholds are not exceeded as this would result in entries in ngraph.log but not in the rrdfile itself. (In fact I would see errors in there, if this was the case.) hours of missing activities can not be explained by step values being too small. Most certainly not if 4 different virtual http servers on 1 machine show completely different gaps in the graphs but no events in the nagios log. So I have stopped nagiosgrapher for the moment and am sending performance data to a file to see if that shows the same amount of gaps in the prformance data. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

I agree that it would certainly make the services.cfg file much simpler to maintain if you didn't have to set up multiple services in order to create different views for various user groups. For instance, all my hosts are setup for PING. If I want notifications sent out to specific users for specific hosts, I have to have multiple iterations of PING in my services.cfg file. If I try to add all contacts to PING, then the see every host in the interface. This is not desirable since I only want them to see the hosts and services for which they have a stake in. I think this is a greater design question that may be best answered by Ethan, but if anyone else has thoughts on the matter I'd be happy to hear the response. Best regards, Todd -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Garringer, Mark Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 9:07 PM To: 'Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Behaviors This may be rather long, please bare with me. I am currently running Nagios 2.0rc2 with 451 hosts and 1733 services. I've recently upgraded from Netsaint (0.78b I think). During this upgrade I took the time to reexamine my configurations to take advantage of the grouping logic and regular expression features in Nagios. This help make the setup much easier, faster, and more consistent than it ever was under Netsaint. Kudos! All of the following assumes that I'm doing things to the best of my understanding, and if they are incorrect or misguided in some way, I'd be more than happy to discuss the 'correct' way of implementing these features. I'm starting to run into a few operational issues that I'd like to raise. One of the most annoying is that RECOVERY should actually have a state for EACH type of RECOVERY that can exist. That way, I'm not getting RECOVERY notices for WARNINGS that I didn't get in the first place (because I don't care about WARNINGS in most cases.). I should only ever get RECOVERY for states which I've already indicated I want to receive their corresponding original alert from. The other is that HOST level notification/check_periods should be inherited by any service being check on that HOST unless explicitly overridden. For example, I have a host with 10 services on it (checking disk space in various file systems, checking for certain named processes to be running) and it has a HOST level notification_period (maintenance window) from Saturday at 1800 till Sunday 1000. Every week. I don't want to, or need to know about service changes during these times. I'm the user, and I'm requesting a black out of notifications during this time. If there are (still) problems after 1000 on Sunday, I do need to know about them or take action. The best answers I can seem to find seem to be workarounds that will cause me more overall upkeep and/or are counter to the whole idea of using grouping logic to begin with. Creating a separate, non-dynamic cron offshoot to take care of this for me while functional requires me to basically go and define another list of items (and upkeep them) to deal with and is completely external to Nagios. Defining each service individually so that they all can have 1 host assigned to them so they can have different maintenance windows as needed is totally against the grouping logic and allows again for much easier divergence from a set standard. Having 25 linux machines all in a linux host group because I want to check 10 common services rocks. However, not all 25 servers will have the same (or even overlapping) maintenance windows, so creating 25*10 separate service entries instead of just 10 sucks eggs. Maintaining the maintenance window at the host level makes perfect sense to me. Creating more host groups doesn't seem like any better of a solution and will just make things more difficult to find under the Hostgroup sections of the web display. By not understanding something am I trying to use this in a way which it was never intended? This seem like a pretty logical feature to me, of course. Can anyone offer me advice?

Maybe I'm missing the scope of things, but where are repetetive iterations of PING a problem when you work with templates? I'm working in a much smaller scope here than Mark and I've wondered about repetetive service-entries as well, but I've come to the conclusion that by using templates I can avoid most of the problems that these multiple entries create, even more so when -as I understand is your problem- the only thing that changes are the contacts. I would however see problems with an overhaul of the way things are addressed at this moment for matters of portability and upgradability. I would imagine the hassle of defining 25*10 services is less than migrating all your hosts and service-definitions to a new setup/layout. Also, at this very moment, I'm wondering if services maybe support the 'contact' entries, since they also do work with the (undocumented) hostgroup_name entries. Wouldn't that solve most of your problems? Did I misunderstand your problem at some point or is what I just wondered exactly the solution you were asking to be implemented?

I remarked out the ip of the box IVAN (as well as many others) in the host file afterward and I think these messages went away. Also I disabled host checking on the central box because none of the monitored hosts are accessable on the local network.

Because I didn't know that hostgroup_name was possible in hostextinfo. It is not documented in xodtemplate.html for 2.0rc2, but has now been verified to work. Thanks for pointing this out. The availability of hostgroup_name in hostexinfo should definetely be in the docs for the 2.x release.

This way I can create a single service for all or a large chunk of hosts with different contacts. If for some reason I want to exclude a user from a specific service on which they are a contact for the host, I would then override the inheritance from the host definition to use a specific contact or contact group. I don't have any particular need to do this so it seems a bit redundant to me to have to specify it within my service configuration which also causes me to configure the same service checks depending upon who should have access to them. >Also, at this very moment, I'm wondering if services maybe support the >'contact' entries, since they also do work with the (undocumented) >hostgroup_name entries. >Wouldn't that solve most of your problems?

Is there a downside to making the contacts an inherited feature from the host and having the contact option within the service definition become optional rather than mandatory?

Any file defined as a 'cfg_file' in nagios.cfg. It doesn't matter.

That is why I use gmail, even been a UOL employee, to hold all my lists inscriptions. But i've subscribe my work email only to send messages to the list, because they filter outgoing email via other smtp, like gmail's.

The results should average the time between events per service per host. But the results are not at all what they should be.

As the test period may cause some deviation I can understand anything ~10 seconds off. But many of the services do not seem to report their performance data on each poll.

(This is the benefit of embedding Perl: there is no need to recompile plugins [that typically don't change] each time they are run. There is also no need to fork a new process and exec Perl. The tradeoff is more memory and hard to understand behaviour such as this). The Perl plugin was compiled when 1 Nagios schedules the plugin for the first time. 2 The plugin text changes (the modification time is checked each time the plugin is scheduled). What you have seen is that the ePN doesn't recompile the plugin after you relocated utils.pm. Your options are 1 Restart Nagios - there's no way to restart the embedded Perl component independently of Nagios 2 Make a trivail modification to the plugin text eg 2.1 add a use lib qw(/path/to/utils.pm) ; 2.2 add a no-op (No-op, No-op the CPUs sang) such as a comment or a 1 == 1; 2.3 I can't remember if touching the text works.

Message-ID: Dear fellow Nagios users, Is there a way for me to schedule downtime automatically for all services on a host? For reference, I'm using version 2.0rc2. When I look at the commands that I can run for a host containing 2+ services, I see a link to schedule downtime for a host, but not for all of the services associated with that host. However, if I look at the commands for a hostgroup or a servicegroup, I see that I can schedule downtime for all hosts or services in a hostgroup/servicegroup. However, I do not want to schedule downtime for all hosts in a hostgroup, just one host. And I do not have any service groups. I did some searching of previous posts, and I have not been able to find anything helpful. At this point it looks like the only way for me to declare downtime for all services by executing one command would be to create one servicegroup for each host in my configuration. Does anyone have any more information on this? Thanks in advance! -- A.

The consequences of which are identical to your result. My guess is that if you look CLOSELY at the 'command_line' you will find something wrong - in my case I had a bare $ in the line." It turns out that this was not the problem -- misccommands.cfg had not changed since June. I did try changing the command to remove all variables, which didn't result in an email either. Thanks for the suggestion, though; it makes sense. The real problem was, somehow the /TMP directory permissions got hosed. Sendmail apparently uses that directory to compose the mail before sending it. Therefore, the notifications got logged in Nagios, because the command line got launched. But the message did not get sent, and nothing would appear in the mail log, because the command line failed. We knew there was more going on than Nagios failure, because when we tried rebooting the system, X11 wouldn't start. Fortunately I had a Linux mage helping me and we eventually tracked it down. -JoAnne -- JoAnne Schmitz Publishing Systems Supervisor The Baltimore Sun desk 410 468 2658 cell 443 829 2855 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Message-ID: Dear Folks, Firstly some observations and corrections to my recent letters about Reporting. 1 Use of DBD::RAM to at one fell swoop download the Nagios all hosts/services report and stash it in an in-core table (prior to filtering with SELECT and saving in an RDBMS). DBD::RAM no longer builds. It has been replaced by DBD::AnyData. >From the README of DBD::AnyDATA: HISTORICAL NOTE: this module was formerly called DBD::RAM. Its name was changed because many people were unaware that the module supports file operations in addition to in-memory operations. See the Changes file for a description of changes since the last release of DBD::RAM. 2 Another way of accounting for outages (apart from daily log file parsing or using avail.cgi directly) may be with an event handler that inserts rows into a table with these columns HOST_NAME HOST_DOWN HOST_UP OUTAGE Since there are lot of good DB interfaces in various programming languages (Perl, Python, Ruby), this is pretty straight forward. I only recently became aware of the $HOSTDOWNTIME$ macro that allows one to filter outages that are in scheduled downtime. (At this low capability site, the event handler simply appends a row to a CSV file so that Excel can view/edit the data. While this is not great it allows manual update with COMMENT and CAUSE [via Excel] so it allows one in principal to combine problem analysis/resolution data with the outage). 3 Would anyone like to post their Reporting schemas ? and now back to our usual program ..

Look for 'mysql database loader' under Addon/Misc. This is a pair of Perl scripts, with minimal documentation, that can load the Nagios config files and the Nagios log files into tables in a mysql database (it will also create the tables for you if you ask it to). Later versions will reduce the data to 3rd normal form, and do some additional post-processing and summarisation, but for now it just loads the data. Please feel free to try it out, comment, improve, etc. Hope they can prove useful to someone.

As I understand ist, Nagios should not have notified about "host down" for the hosts set behind those routers (I have set up a fitting parent structure, and the map looks okay). But for every host behind the died router there was a "host down" message as well as a "host up" message. Is there anything additional to configure to get network outages handled right?

If you're not using any of these, the chances are that your Nagios machine is actually monitoring its own mail queue instead of the remote host's queue in each case.

However, i'm still not 100% satisfied that its behaving correctly. Using Nagios 2.0rc2 on suse 9.2 (i've used later releases for testing but behaviour is the same) I have one main service which is a database connection plugin to ensure the database is up and running. I have 3 additional dependency plugins which do various other checks such as ram and disk usage. When the main database plugin check goes to warning or critical I want to suppress email notifications on the 3 remaining checks as there is no point in running these (they won't return anything useful apart from timeouts). However, this rarely happens. Usually, I get the main check email notification plus 1 other email notification from one of the dependencies (though it may not always be the same dependency) Is there something i'm missing here ? Why can't it supress all three as i would expect ? Do i need to set a parameter setting somewhere ? My main plugin checks every 5 mins with the dependencies every 20 mins. Should i change these timings to something different and if so why ?

Then setting | | soft_state_dependencies=1 | | in nagios.cfg. | | If A depends on B (aka no alert on A when B in trouble) make sure that: | | retry_check_interval(A) * max_check_attempts(A) > | normal_check_interval(B) | | That should guarantee that at least one check of B occurs during the | trouble interval for A. Without the soft_state_dependencies you must use: | | retry_check_interval(A) * max_check_attempts(A) > | normal_check_interval(B) + | (retry_check_interval(B) * max_check_attempts(B)) | | to make sure that B goes into a hard state during the trouble interval | of A. [ http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14420901 ] This makes sure it should work in most cases (though in theory it can still fail if the critical check of service B was delayed for some reason).

However now that I am moving to version 2.0rc2 I keeping getting the following error on the pre-flight check: Error: Service check command '"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt' specified in service 'Service States' for host 'server1' not defined anywhere! The new build of Nagios is a fresh install on a separate server. If I run check_nt or check_snmp from a terminal command line the check runs fine. Did something check in the new version that changed the way check_commands work? It appears that anything I set with a custom check command is failing but everything else that has a direct reference in the checkcommands.cfg file works.

Message-ID: <8C18BAD1F46B2245B0A08BCF1A823DD4109BC4@raptor.redhawk.info> Hello All, I think this subject has been around the block a few times, but I'm still confused. I have a distributed model working in a "lab" environment but I see the following message on the Central Server. "nagios: Warning: The results of service 'check_ping' on host 'Company-A-Switch-21' are stale by 60 seconds (threshold=420 seconds). I'm forcing an immediate check of the service." I currently am only using service checks, since (I think) it make sense for the environment that I will be using the distributed model. Host checks are disabled. I don't mind that fact that it comes up "stale", but why force an immediate check of the service? Is there a way to turn this office since I'm in "Passive Mode" anyway? The situation would be that the Central Server does not have direct access to the remote network, but only receives data from each remote sensor. Thanks in advance, Mike Here is a snippet from my services configuration from the Central Server: ######################################################################## #### define service { host_name Company-A-Switch-21 service_description check_ping is_volatile 1 check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 2 retry_check_interval 1 active_checks_enabled 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24x7 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 420 event_handler_enabled 1 low_flap_threshold 0 high_flap_threshold 0 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 contact_groups Support notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r notifications_enabled 1 register 1 } ######################################################################## #### Here is a snippet from my services configuration from the remote sensor: ######################################################################## #### define service { host_name Company-A-Switch-21 service_description check_ping is_volatile 0 check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60% max_check_attempts 2 normal_check_interval 2 retry_check_interval 1 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 0 check_period 24x7 parallelize_check 0 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 0 event_handler_enabled 0 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 0 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 contact_groups Support notification_interval 99 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r,f notifications_enabled 0 register 1 } ######################################################################## #### ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It's not listed in the What's New page but 'Raw Command Line' support is no longer listed as a possible argument to check_command in the 2.0 documentation. Previously -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service check_command: This is the command that Nagios will run in order to check the status of the service. There are three command formats that can be used: 1. "Vanilla" Command: The command name is just the name of command that was previously defined. 2. Command w/ Arguments: This is basically the same as the "vanilla" command style, but with command options separated by a ! character. The example above uses this type of definition. Command arguments are placed into $ARGx$ macros before the command is executed. In the example above, the $ARG1$ macro would resolve to "/dev/sda1" (without quotes). 3. "Raw" Command Line: You may optionally specify an actual command line to be executed. To do so you must enclose the entire command line in double quotes. The outer double quotes will be stripped off before the command is actually executed. No macros are processed inside of raw command lines. The maximum amount of time that the service check command can run is controlled by the service_check_timeout option. 2.0 -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service check_command: This directive is used to specify the *short name* of the command that Nagios will run in order to check the status of the service. The maximum amount of time that the service check command can run is controlled by the service_check_timeout option. Looks like support for that usage has been removed. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Message-ID: <8C18BAD1F46B2245B0A08BCF1A823DD4109BC8@raptor.redhawk.info> Bob, Thanks for the check_stale script. I was wondering why it would force an immediate check more than anything else. From what I understand from your e-mail and some other reading, it will force a check because of the type of check command that is being used in my services.cfg. If I replace say, check_ping with check_stale, it won't try to PING the host, but rather send this nice (or not so nice) notification that it has not heard anything for "x" amount of time. I assume however that if something is wrong, say a node is down or ?? I will receive a notification that the host is down or ??? OK, if I have that straight, maybe life is better. Thanks!

The theory is that if you don't receive any passive data from the service, then there is a problem, and your "active check" is actually just a script that will inform you of the problem. If you don't want to be notified when nothing is received for a while, then turn off freshness checking. Otherwise use something like: checkcommands.cfg: define command { command_name check_stale command_line $USER1$/check_stale $SERVICEDESC$ $HOSTNAME$ } check_stale script: #!/bin/sh echo "Service $1 on Host $2 has not reported its status" exit 2 and then use check_stale as the check_command for the passive service. -- Bob Sloane, University of Kansas Computer Center, Lawrence, KS, 66045 Email:sloane at ku.edu http://www.ku.edu/home/sloane Phone:(785)864-0444 > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf > Of Mike Koponick > Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 12:08 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] Immediate Check of service? > > > Hello All, > > I think this subject has been around the block a few times, > but I'm still confused. > > I have a distributed model working in a "lab" environment but > I see the following message on the Central Server. > > "nagios: Warning: The results of service 'check_ping' on host > 'Company-A-Switch-21' are stale by 60 seconds (threshold=420 > seconds).

I have except passive host and service checks enabled on the central server. However none of the cgis update the list all services and hosts as pending. In netstat I can see the connections from the distributed servers on both the central and distributed servers. I have definded all hosts, check commands and service checks in the central servers config files. In the past I have had only post checks report in the cgis but now hosts just show pending along with all service checks. Also I have execute service checks disabled on the central server. I am pretty certain that they should be disabled on the central server but I enabled them for a bit and all service checks went critical so I turned it back off. In nsca.dump I see lots of host checks from only one of the distributed servers. nagios.cmd does not appear to get data written to it. I run nsca and nagios as user nagios. I am wondering if there maybe a ownership or permissions issue keeping either the nsca deamon or nagios from writing to or reading from the nagios.cmd file. I made both the nagios.cmd and nsca.dump rw by ug and o so I would this that would have solved any potential read write permissions problems. Anyone have any suggestions?

Message-ID: <6943DE9E9934CD42BBE4A20E0E28E10E02090624@SYGOMAIL.GOE.AD.SYCOR.DE> When you want to schedule a downtime for all services on a host, even when the host won't go down, the easiest way is to schedule a *fixed* downtime. When you schedule a flexible downtime for the host, the downtime starts when the hostcheck turns critical, *not* when a servicecheck on the host goes critical! Try out, it should work with fixed downtimes. ________________________________________ Von: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] Im Auftrag von karl.kornel at mindspeed.com Gesendet: Mittwoch, 8. Februar 2006 03:30 An: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: RE: [Nagios-users] Scheduling downtime for all services in a host? I also thought that was the case, so I decided to try it. I declared a host with 2 services, PING and SSH, and I waited until Nagios ran its first checks to make sure that everything was up. ?Then I declared an hour of flexible downtime on the host, scheduled to start 5 minutes ago and to last for one hour. ?I did this using the CGIs. Once my command had been received, I turned off SSH (just SSH). ?I would expect that, since I had declared downtime, I would not be notified about the SSH failure. ?However, 10 minutes later I got an email telling me that SSH on the host was down. So it looks to me like scheduling downtime just for the host will not automatically schedule downtime for the services on the host, and I can not assume that the host and its services will be going down at the same time. -- A.

By the moment, I configure it using the text files. But now we want to integrate it into a web management system we are developing (adapted to our needs). This management system does more tasks than monitor, for this purpose we want to use nagios. In order to integrate everything easily, we want to use database (preferably mysql) in which to store information. With nagios 1.3 I could use MySQL or PostgreSQL, but we are considering to use nagios 2 to this new management host. The problem I have is that it seems that database support has been dropped in nagios 2. I am trying to find a patch or contribution to nagios that support databases, but I haven't found anything yet. But I have found projects that talks about nagios 2 and mysql (for example, nag2web). Is there any way to use nagios with a database? -- Angel L.

You'd have to show us directory listings and group associations otherwise how would we know? You should not have to change permissions on nagios.cmd as it will be created by nagios with the correct ownership and permissions if you've followed the documentation at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/extcommands.html and http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/commandfile.html. The named pipe is also removed and re-created at each nagios restart so any changes you made would be transient anyway. > Anyone have any suggestions? Turn on nsca debug and watch your messages file. Enable 'log_passive_service_checks' in nagios.cfg and watch for them in nagios.log. Look for errors in nagios.log. Make sure you have check_external_commands enabled with a reasonable command_check_interval. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It works well, although some of the tables (columns) are incomplete. What I did for configuration is used my own tables (for now) and I use the NDO tables for the status/performance data. We use our own PHP interface so it works rather well. As soon as thing firm up in Nagios 3.0, I plan to migrate my system to the new tables for consistency reasons. I did a quick GOOGLE search and found NDOUTILS here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26589 Thanks!

So I am trying to send this again. I have researched some different ways of installing nagios on fedora core 4. I saw that the rpm repository has stuff in the extras fedora 4. The file nagios-2.0-0.2.rc2.fc4.i386.rpm is in this directory. http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/ We can install this using "yum install nagios" if yum is setup correctly. I see that Dag Wiers has some packages but is yet supporting fedora core 4. http://dag.wieers.com/packages/nagios/ nagios-2.0-2.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm seems to be the latest version and I am guessing that this will work on fc4. I tried this using "rpm -vi nagios-2.0-2.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm" it requires some other packages libgd and libltdl. I got it to work using "yum localinstall nagios-2.0-2.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm". Yum resolved the dependencies. This method only works if you can shut of pgp verification.

I have the following issues: (1) When hostA is parent host of hostB, hostA is down, and that outage is acknowledged - why does hostsB show up as "Unreachable, Unhandled Problem" in the tactical overview? I'd expect the acknowledgement to ACK the unreachable host as well. Otherwise, one would be with a _lot_ of unhandled problems in case of big outages which could mask out more important outages somewhere else. (2) When I see a service in CRITICAL soft state (thus, no notification has gone out yet), I cannot ACK that state (even if I know that the service is going to stay CRITICAL for a while and the problem is already being worked on). IMO, it would be good to be able to ACK even SOFT states. Am I missing something?

But NDOutils is sort of shaky (as all other DB interfaces I tried) so previous functionality was lost. This does not help in developing further modules that like (or is easier) to use DBs (ex. PHP interfaces). What I am saying this is a very desirable feature. And while I think I can go around PHP and MySQL quite well I am lousy when it comes to C!!!

You would need to modify check_http.c around line 987 -- /* client errors result in a warning state */ else if (http_status >= 400) die (STATE_WARNING, _("HTTP WARNING: %s\n"), status_line); Either comment out the else/die lines or modify them to specifically exclude the 401 response. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm doing pretty much the same thing and I don't see this problem. It's a little bit different in that all my checks are passive but that shouldn't be a significant difference. Do you have the following directives in your host/service definitions or templates -- retain_status_information 0 ; Retain status information across program restarts retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts In my case I don't retain_status_information, you will probably want to. Another difference is that I have a really high notification_interval as opposed to 0 but I don't expect that to be significant either -- notification_interval 10080 > > is there a way to do either of the following: > a) load new config without restarting nagios Send nagios a HUP signal. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

In your opinion. The event broker is The Better Way in mine and many others. This has been debated over and over and continues to be brought up by those who haven't been around long enough. It's a dead horse. It's not coming back. Use the Event Broker to do it either through modules already written or write your own and share your better way with the world if you so choose. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I don't expect any significant progress on event broker modules until that is done. Outside of NDOutils, the existing modules have been written by people just figuring it out from the examples and the source.

It listens on the NsClient port as well as on your NRPE port (so no change need to be made in nagios if you are already using one of these). The nice thing is that instead of running two services (nsclient and nrpe) you only need to run one service. All your NRPE commands/plugins will work with NSClient++. NSClient++ (or NRPE) will allow you to write local monitoring scripts, such as WMI scripts. This can be very useful if you are running nagios on a Linux box, as nagios on Linux cannot query WMI directly.

Easiest IMHO is to make your check_command for the service and/or host something that will always return CRITICAL. 'check_command $USER1$/check_dummy 2' for example. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

This is a bugfix release which addresses compatibility issues. Major changes are: - Automake/Autoconf based build process - (Limited) Support for RRDTool 1.2.x While preparing this release SNMP4Nagios was tested with different versions of RRDTool. Please visit http://snmp4nagios.sourceforge.net/requirements.html to find out more about which versions are expected to work. SNMP4Nagios is a package of Nagios plugins which use SNMP to query hosts. While some of the plugins use standard MIBs, most are designed for vendor specific agents. Unlike other Nagios plugins, they are able to scan hosts for objects which can be monitored. Additionally they can keep performance logs and draw plots of these using Tobias Oetiker's RRDTool. Currently devices by Brocade, Cisco, Compaq/HP and Network Appliance as well as computers running Microsoft Windows or Net-SNMP and uninterruptable power supplies are supported.

If the nagios cgi's truly live in /usr/lib/nagios/cgi, then the auth restrictions are not applied where they're needed. You're applying them to the wrong directory, /usr/lib/nagios/cgi-bin. You're being prompted to log in because the auth restrictions to the html directory _are_ working but that doesn't matter since the CGI's, that need to see the auth info, are in another directory. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Let's put what is spread on 3 different mails all together so that other users have a maximum amount of info. You have the following service notification configuration: define command{ command_name notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios v2.0b4 *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\n" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ } You use this as the notification command in your service definition, right ? So you should first start by naming it 'service-notify-by-email' for clarity's sake. Anyway you get the following mail ------------------------------ **** Nagios v2.0b4 ***** Notification Type: PROBLEM Service: Used Disk D: Host: myhost Address: ip State: CRITICAL Date/Time: Mon Feb 13 15:42:45 CET 2006 Additional Info: D: ------------------------------ Whereas the last line should be D:\ - total: 63.80 Gb - used: 61.72 Gb (97%) - free 2.08 Gb (3%) The problem obviously (imho at least) comes from this backslash. It does not look like a coincidence: one backslash and your output gets truncated just afterwards. It's very hard to figure out if and how backslashes get interpreted in the pipeline plugin > nagios > mail with bash popping in everywhere. I don't even know if you can rely on the fact that the command printf "%b" "D:\ - total: 63.80 Gb - used: 61.72 Gb (97%) - free 2.08 Gb (3%)\n" | mail -s "this is just a test" yourname at somewhere.com works on the command line. Ideas: Try to redirect the mail body to a file rather than sending it, i.e. /bin/printf [...] > /tmp/somefilenagioscanwriteto and examine its content. Try to get your plugin not output this backslash you don't care about after all (that's what mine does actually).

I think 2.0b4 is rather old. The real 2.0 is out for some time now. But having run 2.0b4 for quite a while I am puzzled as I have never seen this.

I had the worst time with that on my RHEL4 setup. The premature end of headers error had me fooled for ages back then. My suggestion is, at least so you can verify and test, to turn off SElinux temporarily and see what that gives. I am almost convinced you will find that has solved the issue. If you want to check if SELinux is enabled run 'getenforce'. This will tell you if it is. To set it to permissive (to disable it completely you need to modify /etc/grub.conf or /etc/selinux/config) temporarily use 'setenforce 0'. Please note however this is only temporary and will not survive a reboot. If memory serves there is an audit log for SELinux somewhere too but since I do not use SELinux I must admit I am not sure where exactly that lives. I believe the tool 'seaudit' allows you to examine the log too and even gives you a peek on the policy enforced. My apologies if my explanation is not more descriptive. I decided long ago that SELinux was not something I was willing to endure on my systems since they are used too extensivly for testing purposes and SELinux slowed me down way too much. Hope it helps, Cheers. On 2/13/06, Thomas.Zimmer at oppenheim.de wrote: > > Do your cgis live in this directory?

Make sure you have proper permissions on the external command file (per the documentation on External Commands). Make sure that Nagios is set to check for external commands frequently enough (command_check_interval). Try turning on NSCA debug and watch your messages log file for interesting output. If you have SELinux enabled, make sure that it's not interfering with NSCA's ability to write to the external command file; look for 'avc denied' messages related to the command file in /var/log/messages. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

You didn't run 'make install-config' after compiling. That will install _sample_ configuration files in ~nagios/etc. Other targets include -- *** Compile finished *** If the main program and CGIs compiled without any errors, you can continue with installing Nagios as follows (type 'make' without any arguments for a list of all possible options): make install - This installs the main program, CGIs, and HTML files make install-init - This installs the init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d make install-commandmode - This installs and configures permissions on the directory for holding the external command file make install-config - This installs *SAMPLE* config files in /usr/local/nagios/etc You'll have to modify these sample files before you can use Nagios. Read the HTML documentation for more info on doing this. Pay particular attention to the docs on object configuration files, as they determine what/how things get monitored! -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Amazing to me that in all the months I've been lurking in this list there was no mention of this tidbit until 2/9/06. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/37418 Didn't recall that post when I was replying. Also amazing that this is not mentioned on the nagios.org download page. But the plugins are not included in Extras so if you want to install them via RPM you search pbone.net and find the Dries RPM repository and luckily he has a FC4 RPM posted there for plugins-1.4.1, not the latest but usable. Related question - why does rpmfind.net and pbone.not NOT include the Extras repository? I guess what I'm thinking is that we need a wiki so we can all contribute what we've learned and organize it in a way that's helpful to new and longtime users alike. > > > If you want to install the FC3 rpm on FC4 using YUM - I found that I > > needed to configure my repos.d file for DAG specifying a specific version, > > otherwise yum doesn't find it. > > like this: > > [dag] > > name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core > > baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag > > gpgcheck=1 > > enabled=1 > > > > Replace the "$releasever" with "3" > > > > That's an amazingly bad idea. > Yes it is - only suggested as a temporary workaround to install a package when you can't find the package in a repo for the release you're running.

We have almost 2000 service checks running on a Nagios monitoring system and performance in 2.0 is noticably improved. We were noticing after about 2 weeks of uptime with b2, Nagios would baloon past 1.3GB ram usage and bring the machine to a crawl. Hopefully the update will keep things runinng longer.

Message-ID: <20060214135545.gy173z83lvb44o00@webmail.rongage.org> Hi everyone: I am thinking about writing a WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) client for Linux. This would basically be a command line way to perform various performance queries to a Windows box - with absolutely no agent software anywhere. All that would be required on the Windows side of things is a service account. This would not be for allowing Windows computers to query Linux - at least not immediately. Allowing a Windows computer to query a Linux computer is downstream from this. What can WMI provide? For example, hardware inventory, performance counters, various disk stats (per logical disk), and so on.

From a monitoring perspective, what more would you need than WMI? You get direct access to the perfmon counters and hardware enumeration. You can even enumerate services and their state via WMI (the Win32_BaseService object). Beyond that, Nagios itself covers the rest of the need, monitoring wise.

Is there a way to monitor a directories size via > snmp???? As far as I understand SNMP it is quite easy to tell: If there is an object for that in the MIB of the SNMP client on this windows machine, then it should be fairly easy to rewrite check_snmp_storage.pl (or write your own script) to query that object. So have a look at the MIB of your SNMP service on the winX box.

In-Reply-To: <20060214144350.vul4iycaaq88co8k@webmail.rongage.org> References: <20060214144350.vul4iycaaq88co8k@webmail.rongage.org> Message-ID: <5383c62b0602150130q32212090g96dad3ca8badc572@mail.gmail.com> Well in terms of need, I have (and I am sure there are others, seen messages to that effect pass the mailing lists on a regular basis) a defenite need to also monitor more then WMI provides and for that matter check_nt does not have either. I am sure there are many such things but these are high on my list right now : - Monitor file sizes (got a couple of processes that dare write transaction logs that sometimes go up to 2 GB in a matter of days at which point the 2 GB filesize problem on Windows causes the application to die a horrible death) - Monitor Directory Sizes (not so much for me but saw that pass by on the list a few days ago) - File Age (nc_net has this) to detect hanging processes for example. - Log parser with a read-mark (so it only reads new lines since last check). Mind you not clear on how to work this into Nagios. I mean, I would want to have nagios monitor a log file for say an error like 'ORA-xxxxx no active database connection' (or whatever the exact error is) and raise an alert at that point. What I am not sure about is how to then let Nagios know the error has been fixed. I suppose I coul parse the whole log every time and archive logs when I restart the process at which point the ORA-xxxxx would no longer be present in the log but the problem is these logs are huge and would probably constitute a huge performance hit if read completely on a regular basis. It's a tricky one. Either way unless I am mistaken these things are not easily done in WMI if they are even possible at all. But there is no denying that WMI gives you access to a wealth of information. It will be interesting to see how you do it though. Securitywise it seems like a challenge for sure. And performance wise it is not easy either. Count me in though if you want it tested. Cheers.

Anyway you should have first the check_nrpe plugin. Then you just have to define command in checkcommands using ./check_nrpe -H hostname -c check_cmd define command { command_name Hello command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_cmd } Please run check_nrpe -h to get the help of the plugin. cheers 2006/2/15, HP Geeza : > > Hi All, > > I am having some difficulty with using nclient++ and was wondering if > somebody could help?? > > I have download nslicnet++ (from > http://nscplus.medin.name/index.php/Main_Page) and installed it on a > remote > windows server.

However i dont quiet understand how i setup the check in the NSC.ini file. There is an example in the CheckDisk documentation section which has the following (this is what i almost need).

Message-ID: <8C18BAD1F46B2245B0A08BCF1A823DD4109BFF@raptor.redhawk.info> I'm running Nagios 2.0 (Stable) on Redhat 9.0, in a distributed environment. I'm utilizing NSCA for checks and all appears to be working properly. I'm running into several issues that seemed to have "started all of a sudden". 1) On my distributed server, I don't see syslog messages any longer, with the exception of "INITIAL SERVICE STATE" messages. Syslog is working, and in the nagios.cfg file, "nagios.cfg:use_syslog=1" I used to see all the check messages, etc. Nothing in the configuration has changed to the best of my knowledge. 2) Nagios appears to "hang" on the remote sensor. Once I receive notifications that network devices are down, I never see a recovery of the network devices, even though they are recovered. The work around is to restart nagios with "service nagios restart". Sometimes, this takes multiple tries. 3) When I have a massive network outage, I receive the appropriate alerts but I receive multiple "PROBLEM" notifications. I'm only using service checks (I'm only using check_ping currently) and the notification_interval set to "0", which according to the documentation should limit the amount of messages I'm receiving to "1", unless I'm using the service escalations, which I am not at this time. I am not receiving multiple notifications for "OK" messages, which is what I would expect. Sorry about the novel but these have frustrated me into drinking lots of beer.

One daemon sees the down and another sees the up. What have you verified so far? I'd check disk space, use strace to see what the daemon is doing, turn up logging as much as possible for both nagios and nsca and watch the logs. > 3) When I have a massive network outage, I receive the appropriate > alerts but I receive multiple "PROBLEM" notifications.

Without seeing any example host and service config information this sounds very much like you might have multiple nagios daemons running at the same time. Stop nagios, make sure they're _all_ stopped and restart nagios. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

One daemon sees the down and another sees the up. What have you verified so far? I'd check disk space, use strace to see what the daemon is doing, turn up logging as much as possible for both nagios and nsca and watch the logs. > 3) When I have a massive network outage, I receive the appropriate > alerts but I receive multiple "PROBLEM" notifications.

Without seeing any example host and service config information this sounds very much like you might have multiple nagios daemons running at the same time. Stop nagios, make sure they're _all_ stopped and restart nagios. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

They should only be used for services that automatically reset themselves to an OK state after being checked and you wish to be notified _every_ time they're checked and not OK. This would account for your multiple notifications. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/volatileservices.html Volatile services differ from "normal" services in three important ways. Each time they are checked when they are in a hard non-OK state, and the check returns a non-OK state (i.e. no state change has occurred)... * the non-OK service state is logged * contacts are notified about the problem (if that's what should be done) * the event handler for the service is run (if one has been defined) These events normally only occur for services when they are in a non-OK state and a hard state change has just occurred. In other words, they only happen the first time that a service goes into a non-OK state. If future checks of the service result in the same non-OK state, no hard state change occurs and none of the events mentioned take place again. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

URL: From mkoponick at redhawk.info Wed Feb 15 18:52:51 2006 From: mkoponick at redhawk.info (Mike Koponick) Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 09:52:51 -0800 Subject: Nagios Hang? Message-ID: <8C18BAD1F46B2245B0A08BCF1A823DD4109C02@raptor.redhawk.info> Marc, Thanks for the "is_volatile" tip. As for the NSCA, I found further information: Feb 15 08:01:26 cmi-console nagios: Warning: OCSP command '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result PHM.2950.110.5 'check_ping' 'OK' 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 6.81 ms' ''' for service 'check_ping' on host 'PHM.2950.110.5' timed out after 5 seconds Feb 15 08:10:09 cmi-console nagios: Warning: OCSP command '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result 2950-135 'check_ping' 'OK' 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 3.43 ms' ''' for service 'check_ping' on host '2950-135' timed out after 5 seconds Feb 15 08:12:36 cmi-console nagios: Warning: OCSP command '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result 2950-34 'check_ping' 'OK' 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 1.50 ms' ''' for service 'check_ping' on host '2950-34' timed out after 5 seconds This has the appearance that send_nsca is getting timed out. I don't see the connection ending up on the remote side. I wonder if this some type of weird NAT issue going on between the two firewalls. Although, I do see other NSCA traffic working just fine from the same server. Thanks!

They should only be used for services that automatically reset themselves to an OK state after being checked and you wish to be notified _every_ time they're checked and not OK. This would account for your multiple notifications. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/volatileservices.html Volatile services differ from "normal" services in three important ways. Each time they are checked when they are in a hard non-OK state, and the check returns a non-OK state (i.e. no state change has occurred)... * the non-OK service state is logged * contacts are notified about the problem (if that's what should be done) * the event handler for the service is run (if one has been defined) These events normally only occur for services when they are in a non-OK state and a hard state change has just occurred. In other words, they only happen the first time that a service goes into a non-OK state. If future checks of the service result in the same non-OK state, no hard state change occurs and none of the events mentioned take place again. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

My remote system send status vis ncsa to my local system, and my local system monitors the remote hosts with passive checks. All of this works fine, except for one host. This host is only monitored via the standard check-host-alive. The hosts bounces between "OK" and "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds", but even when the status is listed as critical, the ping sometimes shows as OK. None of the other passive checks exhibit this behavior, and if I look at the remote Nagios system (it still is running it's web interface for now) this host always listed as up and available. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before? Is so, what hoops do I need to jump through to resolve this?

I was looking at the timeout and it was set to the default of 10 seconds. I went ahead and increased it to 15. It's been running for about 2 hours in debug mode without incident. We are rebooting a bunch of switches tomorrow morning at the same location so I want to see if I run into the same scenario. Thanks for your help. Time for another cup-o-coffee.

No. The config options and macros have changed.

You can set limits, but (IMO) the plugin as distributes could need improvements which I did not finish yet: - use 10-based values, not 2-based ones for throughput calculation (this is a simple modification) - allow asymmetric spped settings, which would better suit ADSL users. - support the funny interface names windows uses. I implemented this using REs, IIRC. Perhaps I will publish my modified version some day... Arno > Thanks for your time > > Yahoo!

Those check_local_load, check_local_disk, check_local_xxx check are performed on the *local* machine only. Thus you are seeing the results for your Nagios server, not the host you supposed you were monitoring. You can use NRPE and NSCA to work around this issue. Have a look at the distributed monitoring stuff in the documentation.

Read the HTML documentation for more info on doing this. Pay particular attention to the docs on object configuration files, as they determine what/how things get monitored! As you can see, you want to run 'make install-commandmode' and 'make install-config'. You indicate your ran' make install-config' below. Did you run it from the same -compiled- nagios source as your original install? That would be the only reason I can think that the ~nagios/etc directory wouldn't be created when you run that target. If you continue to have problems, post the output of your run of 'make install-config'. -- Marc > -----Original Message----- > From: john matijevic [mailto:john.matijevic at gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 7:12 AM > To: Marc Powell > Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] install of nagios > > Hello Team, > Thanks again for all of your assistance, as it's been a while and I am not > as experienced in Linux.

You can set limits, but (IMO) the plugin as distributes could need improvements which I did not finish yet: - use 10-based values, not 2-based ones for throughput calculation (this is a simple modification) - allow asymmetric spped settings, which would better suit ADSL users. - support the funny interface names windows uses.

That would be the only reason I can think that the ~nagios/etc directory wouldn't be created when you run that target. If you continue to have problems, post the output of your run of 'make install-config'. Answer: Yes Marc, I ran it from the same directory where I downloaded the nagios where the ./configure command was, basically the documentation did not ask me to change to the directory. Also, I downloaded and extracted to a tmp directory on my linux server, again this is on fedora Core 4. So after I ran the configure command I received no errors, and the directories were created except for the ones I had mentioned before. Do I need to change to directories before I run the commands? and if so which directory do I change to? than i just prepend where the configure command is for example if I am at the usr/local/nagios directory than I would run /tmp/nagios ./configure? thanks again for assistance. I am following documentation step by step.

What if the value of MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH was calculated at compile time, based on the overall size of the service_message structure?

They are set so that the entire service_message struct is < 512 bytes. If that's not the case then you may be seeing compiler oddities that cause other structs or types (int, timeval) to be larger than normal. >> How concerned should I be? Should I be looking for a 32-bit machine to >> host my production instance of Nagios? While I can't tell you all the possible problems that might result, one that I know is that if you are using passive checks, the results may get lost or mangled because they're larger than what can usually be written to a named pipe in one go. 32-bit vs 64-bit isn't a factor unless 64-bit allows for larger pipes. The hostname length + service description length + plugin output length would have to be > ~480 bytes to be worrisome. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

If snmp service isnt a third part tool for you, you can already perform a number of checks with it. Also, you'd better search the list as a project is running for WMI stuff that would allow checks without any software installed on servers. But you should be patient as it started like two days ago. 2006/2/16, Naveen C Joshi : Hi, I want to use Nagios to monitor public and private resources with given below network. Please provide me guidance to accomplish this task. Centralise monitoring Nagios Host = 192.xxx.xxx.xx1 (Nagios 2.x version Installed, NRPE plugin 2.5) We have a pool of remote servers with following installation and ip. client Remote server #1 = 10.xxx.xxx.xx1 (NRPE Daemon, Nagios) client Remote server #2 = 10.xxx.xxx.xx2 client Remote server #3 = 10.xxx.xxx.xx3 Here I have confusion about Remote server#2 and 3. Do we need to install NRPE daemon for these two machines also? Is there any method to monitor these 3 machine's private and public resources without any installation on remote server#2 and 3? Please provide me help to monitor these all machines. The main objective is that we do not want to install any nagios/third party tool on all the remote servers while we have installed in one of the remote server (Remote server#1), is it possible? if yes please let me know.

If you have tripwire setup, and you'd like to incorporate changes of summed files, you could certainly write a plugin to do so and represent a change of some file, say /etc/passwd, as a CRITICAL within Nagios. You could probably also hook up Nagios and send it passive service checks out of the cronjob running tripwire in verify mode. Let me know if this is what you had in mind. It sounds to me like it could be done but I'm unaware of any existing plugins in this space at the moment.

Typically mail queues are only readable by root. Have you modified permissions on the queue directory, the script or are you using sudo to run it successfully as a non-root user? The mailq command typically has the required permissions and that's why it's used by check_mailq. Are you exiting with the proper output and exit code that nagios requires? See the Developer Guidelines at http://nagiosplug.sf.net if you haven't already. As to why your script always exits with code 3, we can't tell you since we didn't write the script and you didn't post enough of it to tell anything really useful. If that's not what it should be exiting with, then change the script to return the proper exit code. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Its not the first time that i am using nrpe, other scripts (perl and shell) works as expected. ./check_nrpe -H 10.0.33.180 -c mail CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon.

NC_net is a drop in replacement for pNS_Client that was writen in C# and uses the Dot Net Framework. I preforms all the checks of NS_Client without any modification to your nagios configuration as well as a host of other checks. It can be found at the following link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net All support for NC_net should be posted into the help forum: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=540979 I just started porting NC_Net into Dot Net Framework 2.0 The inital build (NC_Net 3.0 ) is on the Dot net Framework 2.0 and is currently availible on sourceforge. NOTE: I do not recomend everyone to update to this version since the major change between this and 2.28 is just the Dot net version. however it is out there availible for downloading for new hosts or testing. As time permitts I will be updating the files sections with seperate downloads for documentaiton and tools. I have several planned upgrades, and I am sure there will be some unplanned as well. If anyone has any suggestions on WMI queries or Windows program service Checking (for example: Similar to the *Check Backup Exec Veritas Services *on NagiosExchange) please contribute it to the Open Discussion forum. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=540978 -- Thank you for trying NC_Net.

I have one server pool A(host#1, host#2, host#3) and a centralize Nagios monitoring server with NRPE Plugin i.e. host#4. Server poolA is behind firewall from our centralize monitoring Nagios host#4. At server pool A, host#1 is having installed Nagios, NRPEplugin and NRPE daemon(for centralize Nagios host#4) and other two hosts (host#2 and host#3) is having NRPE daemon only. Now I want to configure host#2 and host#3 monitoring on host#1 (because this server has NRPE daemon/plugin installed with Nagios) and then Host#1 is monitored by host#4 which is our centralize Nagios monitoring server, Is this scenario possible. How the Host#1 will provide the information of Host#2 and #3 to the Host#4??? This is the Level1 and Level2 monitoring, is this possible? If yes please let me know which tools we need to install on it and if any document on the net. Thanks for the help.

You might get a better response if you posted useful information, like say your version of nagios, what services you're trying to graph, and the related configs.....

The sample config files provide example host and service notification commands. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Message-ID: <4A56A7900065A44BB559A2C929597BB70119F346@DAEMSG03.eur.ad.sag> Your help in troubleshooting the following is really appreciated: Configuration is as follows: Nagios 2.0(02/07/2006) under Red Hat ES4(2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp) Trying to reproduce the problem under Nagios 1.3(AIX 5.2) did not work, Nagios worked perfectly, the problem is only reproducible under 2.0. To reproduce the problem(via Nagios web-interface): choose any host via "Service Detail" with at least two services and do the following select your first choice of service and scoll down to the link saying "Add a new comment" select this link and enter(i.e.) "#1" in the Comment-field, click commit select your second choice of service(remember, on the same host), scroll down to the add-a-new-comment-link select that and enter(i.e.) "#2" in the Comment-field, click commit check via "Service Detail" that both services got a comment-bubble(or your var/comments.dat) now select your !second! choice of service again, scroll down and click on the "Delete all comments"-link, do NOT click on the "Delete this comment"-icon(the trash-icon) select Commit check via "Service Detail" that the comment is deleted(no comment-bubble visible) then select your !first! choice of service, scroll down and click on the "Delete all comments"-link, do NOT click on the "Delete this comment"-icon(the trash-icon) select Commit check via "Service Detail" that the comment was NOT deleted. I also did the above in a script(via ADD_SVC_COMMENT and DEL_ALL_SVC_COMMENTS), same problem. If I choose the trash-icon aside the comment and the comment-id is used for the deletion, that's working. When doing a hexedit var/comments.dat the entry for service#2 looks fine, like the one for service#1. The entries in the Event Log also look the same, for both services. After restarting Nagios via "Process Info/Restart the Nagios process" a click on the "Delete all comments"-link works as expected, the comment is removed. I also tried ./configure with --enable-DEBUGALL, but the only messages I'm getting are in the appache error log, saying "malformed header from script.", and apache isn't able to serve the http-pages... If somebody could confirm the above, please, to make sure it's not my local mistake?

Message-ID: <20060221025137.56426.qmail@web31608.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hi, Currently we have a nagios-running server used for monitoring the health of our network services as well as hosts through check_ping. I haven't played with nagios reports though, as I am only concerned about the alert from nagios. We use mrtg for monitoring the network traffic trend. Before, we are using a custom script to parse these mrtg logs and output it into a report like this: Link Description: link1 Overall Downtime: 16.68 hour/s Time Down Time Up Total Reference No. Mon Aug 29 15:03:08 PHT 2005 Mon Aug 29 15:13:11 PHT 2005 0.17 hours 9399 Fri Aug 26 02:03:08 PHT 2005 Fri Aug 26 17:43:12 PHT 2005 15.67 hours 9297 Wed Aug 24 17:43:09 PHT 2005 Wed Aug 24 18:23:09 PHT 2005 0.67 hours 9273 Fri Aug 19 07:22:43 PHT 2005 Fri Aug 19 07:32:44 PHT 2005 0.17 hours 9086 Hours Down: 16.68 Days Down: 0 Monthly Total in Hours: 16.68 We need these reports so that we can compute in case the customer asks for some rebates, with their bandwidth usage. Now the one who created the program went away and when something went wrong, we weren't able to fix it. Now, we are just looking for opensource tools that can do the same. Note, that since the program uses mrtg, mrtg uses snmp to monitor if the link is down for a certain period of time. Most of the devices on remote sites of our customers are snmp-enabled... and it would be nice if nagios can monitor those links using snmp as well as output some reports that look exactly like that report above. Any idea? Thanks! -jay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Has anyone managed to compile the check_nt program under Windows? If so, can you send me a copy of the binary or (preferably) the modified source code? We have a server that is hidden behind another server, and so to monitor it, I hope to use NRPE_NT on the server in between and relay my requests this way to the pNSclient agent. However, to do this, I need to have a windows check_nt binary. Alternatively, does anyone else have a better way to do this? I can't install a linux server to do the job (that would be too easy), nor can I put the remote host onto the main network. The only way to reach it is via this intermediate Windows server. Prehaps a port-forwarder would do the job, but I don't have one of them for windows, either...

You might get a better response if you posted useful information, like say your version of nagios, what services you're trying to graph, and the related configs.....

The one that works is using "mailx" and the one that fails is using "mail". I'd try mailx on the failing command, or verify that both work. Hosts and services use different commands with different macros - make sure you are looking at the correct one (host-notify-by-email vs notify-by-email). As for testing, I usually su - nagios; set env variables to the macro names, and copy/paste the commands into a shell until they work. Alternatively, use the check_dummy command with an error return code parameter. If notifications are happening you should see them in the notification log. If not, check parameters for notification on the host/service, timeframe, and contacts. Good luck!

The sample config files provide example host and service notification commands. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Message-ID: So we've installed the latest version of "nrpe" on a server (normal configuration). Then we installed "nrpe_nt" on a windows 2003 server machine and it works fine. We're also trying to run "nrpe" (for hosts) as a standalone deamon on a linux machine but we've compiled it without SSL (mainly because it wouldn't allow use to compile it, even with openssl (missing libraries)... so we're running the standalone deamon with the -n option). When we installed the 2.3 version, I was kinda surprised that the "allowed_hosts" command in the config file didn't work anymore and we also got that error : "CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.", so we thought it had something to do with the "allowed_hosts" command in the config file. We were also getting an error in the "/var/log/messages" file saying : "(date) slxids nrpe[9493]: Could not read request from client, bailing out...". So we deleted the newest version and installed the 2.0 version of NRPE (without SSL again). So the "allowed_hosts" command is back, but the -n option when we lauch nrpe as a standalone deamon isn't there anymore... and we're still getting the same errors. Anybody has an idea of what's going on? Is it because of SSL? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Your permissions or authentication via website is not correct (REMOTE_USER isn't being set). For RHEL systems, using the rpms provided by dag make things much easier, as the permissions etc are done for you. All you're left doing is adding users to the web authentication setup he provides and configuring services, or changing his auth to whatever auth system you use in your env. They work very well. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety'' Benjamin Franklin 1775 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I hae tried all sensible options i can tell from the help. Look at check_website or webinject on nagiosexchange. Both plugins let you get much more in-depth as far as website checks. For example, we do an indepth (check_website) check once an hour, and more frequent checks of "is the website responding"(check_http). -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety'' Benjamin Franklin 1775 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

At any rate, do you have SELinux enabled? Have you verified that you are not experiencing restrictions based on that. I would also try running status.cgi from the command line as a non-root user to see if you experience any errors that way. It's not a perfect test but it may provide some insight. I doubt it's a compatibility issue. Probably SELinux or some library that isn't where it's expected. Were the CGI's compiled on this machine? You might try running 'ldd status.cgi' and make sure that the libraries are where they're expected and readable by your apache user. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Unfortunately installing Nagios via the RPM did not help. The problem lies within SELINUX. If I disable SELinux the CGI scripts work fine. /etc/selinux/config SELinux=disable Reboot the server Now the question is why does the security enhanced Linux module cause problems with the CGI scripts?

Your permissions or authentication via website is not correct (REMOTE_USER isn't being set). For RHEL systems, using the rpms provided by dag make things much easier, as the permissions etc are done for you. All you're left doing is adding users to the web authentication setup he provides and configuring services, or changing his auth to whatever auth system you use in your env. They work very well. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety'' Benjamin Franklin 1775 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Balling) Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2006 17:07:00 -0500 Subject: hostgroupescalations not working Message-ID: <9B489343-1C88-40D4-8BF1-99E831DB38A5@vassar.edu> I'm running the latest version of Nagios included with Debian sarge/ stable (it reports itself as 1.3-cvs.20050402-2.sarge.1). I have defined, in /etc/nagios/escalations.cfg, a hostgroupescalation, like so: define hostgroupescalation{ hostgroup_name all-linux first_notification 3 last_notification 0 contact_groups oncall,sysadmins-pgr notification_interval 5 } ... thinking that from escalation point 3 and up, the oncall person and the sysadmins will get notified every five minutes. Except that it never seems to get processed. The "default" contact_groups, from the services declaration, all get their notices, but the escalation-people never get theirs. I created a service escalation (for the service I've been using to test the escalation), and it worked just fine (it's now commented out though as I try to get the hostgroupescalation to work): #define serviceescalation{ # host_name smtp03 # service_description SMTP # first_notification 3 # last_notification 0 # contact_groups oncall,sysadmins-pgr # notification_interval 5 #} ... so I know that the escalations.cfg is being processed, and it's *willing* to escalate, just not to escalate for a hostgroup. I confirmed that smtp03 *is* in the "all-linux" hostgroup declaration, and it appears there in all the GUI locations, so it's not that the hostgroup simply doesn't match the server in question. What am I missing? Is this some stupid typo that I'm not noticing? The members of the service's contact_groups field all get their notices, but the people it's supposed to escalate to don't. What am I missing? Thanks much! Cheers, D -- Derek J.

So Nagios 1.3 did not get tested with this problem. But I think I'm getting closer to the problem. This night five service checks(under the same host-entry) got processed like this: The comments got entered in the following sequence(via ADD_SVC_COMMENT): #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Until now everything is working fine. Now the service-checks ended in the following sequence and should have been removed via DEL_ALL_SVC_COMMENTS: #2 #5 #4 #1 #3 But only the comments for service-checks #2 #5 got removed(in this sequence). The comments for #4 #1 #3 are still in var/comments.dat and are not deletable, neither via DEL_ALL_SVC_COMMENTS nor the webinterface("Delete all comments"). Deleting them via the trashcan-icon(with the comment-id) works. It looks like some kind of end-of-comment-list-pointer is moved in the list of comments: Comment #2 gets deleted, the pointer in the list of comments gets moved to entry #2 Comment #5 gets deleted, the pointer in the list of comments gets moved to entry #5, which is the last in the list Now comment #4 should get deleted, but does not, because the end-of-comment- list-pointer is further down the list, so the comment can't get deleted. Same with comment #1 and #3, both are above the end-of-comment-list-pointer. If somebody could please confirm this behavior(following my previous posting) or the opposite... After a confirmation I would post it to the developement list.

I need to use packages as most/none of these hosts do not have a complier suite. I am planning on running nagios with nrpe and nsca to then submit data to our server (running 2.x on linux).

Certainly you must have hosts in some development environment running those OS versions with compilers on them. You can't seriously be running hosts in production you can't build software for. If you truly can't compile anything for those systems, I'll see if I can release my packages. -Guy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

But when I add the check to checkcommands.cfg and services.cfg and restart nagios... when the check runs it returns: "**ePN 'check_smb_shares.pl' Can't create /root/.smb/smb.conf : Permission denied" A quick check to the process list shows the nagios binary running as the user nagios as well as all the checks that happen to be running at the time I executed a 'ps'. If I run the check_smb_shares.pl as the user nagios from the command line it returns the correct result. Any thoughts? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

You need to specify the instance: "\\Processor\\% Processor Time(_Total)" This works with pNSclient, which I believe uses the same syntax as NSClient++. However, check the NSClient++ docs...

They only just allow the pNSclient because it doesnt require a reboot and has such a tiny footprint. .net is a bit of a huge beast. We do use NSCA for some things -- eg, the windows eventlog agent, and some UNIX active checks. However, our entire setup is centrally confingured and managed, and so this sort of thing again breaks the standard pattern. I'm having a go at compiling the check_nt under windows, but it requires some major rewriting for winsock. Also, I'm trying to arrange some firewall changes (but thats even less likely to happen :) Thanks, Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I don't have such a script, but here's how I'd do it: Assuming you're using NRPE-NT: 1. Configure a check for the particular service you're wanting to monitor. 2. Write a quick little batch file that has something like this in it: net stop "service" net start "service" 3. Add a "check" into your NRPE-NT config that uses that batch script as the "check" script 4. Craft an event handler script that calls check_nrpe for the "check" script you just created when it is appropriate to do so. 5. Add your new service and eventhandler into services.cfg for the particular host(s) in question. And, that should do it. Just be sure you've got access to NRPE-NT nailed down tight so you don't have neerdowells restarting your service all day. :-) Andrew ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

(http://www.nagios.org/docs/) I suggest you start by reading the fine manual and then get back with specific questions if the manual is not clear and a simple google search can not help you find the answer either. If you need someone to help you through all the stages there is also a section about companies offering consultancy on installing nagios and implementing it in your network. But I guess as an engineer you will just sit down and read the manual for yourself first and start to post smart questions with the proper detail level if you find you're stuck somewhere.

A sample check_command should be included within the sample-config. You simply execute a plugin remotely with check_by_ssh. The option -C "..." is used to pass the command and options for the plugin. But you can use all shell-script-plugins and perl-plugins, uf a perl-interpreter is installed on your production machines. For generating a private/public key pair for authentication without typing a password, there exist a lot of howtos on the internet. I hope that helps. Ah, generally i think it?s no good idea to execute commands via ssh. I didn?t do any real performance checks on this, but i expect executing a check via ssh utilizes the cpu and network a lot more than using nrpe or nsca. Perhaps someone can give a more exact statement in this issue? However, my system is running about 100 checks via ssh in very short intervals without abnormal CPU- or network-utilization. If you like to, I could try to send a package of my compiled plugins for a solaris 9 system, but I may have probs to pass the firewall... Thomas Zimmer Produktservice & Betrieb Betrieb & Support Sal.

Technically no it's not a bug, the command line arguments are not compatible. Looking around line 1030 and forward of check_http.c, the regex tests and size tests are not progressive. The order (from there forward) is header checks, regex checks then size checks. Each will exit the program based on *success* or failure of the check. I would call it a feature request to have checks be progressive. On success, continue to the next test... You might want to bounce this over to the nagiosplug-devel list for their consideration. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I've seen this in a couple of different cases: 1) trust relationship between the nagios user on the monitoring host and the monitored host is not set up. To do this you need to generate a pair of ssh keys. I always (and I forget why) generate both a dsa key and an rsa key. To do this is pretty simple: a) log in as the user nagios on your monitoring host. b) run ssh-keygen -t rsa ; and answer the questions/prompts accordingly. c) run ssh-keygen -t dsa ; and do the same as (b) d) cd ~/.ssh e) cat *.pub > exported-keys.txt f) scp exported-keys.txt nagios at monitored-host: (note the trailing colon (:) above) g) log on as nagios on the monitored host. f) cat exported-keys.txt >> .ssh/authorized_keys g) cat exported-keys.txt >> .ssh/authorized_keys2 Now, having said all that one of the shortcuts I have on some of my systems is authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 are the same file with one of them being a sym-link to the other. 2) no SSH on the monitored host at all Well.. put it there and and then follow the steps above. 3) nrpe is not being started from inetd (xinetd) AND is not running as a daemon. Then you need to either configure inetd (xinted) accordingly or enable nrpe to be started up from init during system reboot. (or start it manually... whatever floats your boat.)

If you just have an issue with using a compiling environment, you can install openssl and net-snmp packages from http://www.sunfreeware.com/. We do system health monitoring and checking for processes via SNMP polls.

The current system has around 140 host entries and is running over 1000 service checks and is linked with apan for graphing performance data. What I'd *like* is to have a web-based interface for adding hosts to the new system with a sort of inheritance-based system for templating so that I can create objects along the lines of: "A" is a basic server with a set of service checks that apply a set of dependencies between service checks a set of external links to apan (or some other graphing tool) "B" is a server of type "A" in datacentre 1 inheriting all of the configuration for "A" plus an additional set of service checks plus an additional set of dependencies etc... "C" is a server of type "B" that is a webserver inheriting all of the configuration for "B" plus an additional set of service checks plus an additional set of dependencies etc... "X" is an instance of server type "C" inheriting all of the configation for "C" plus some host-specific config. "Y" is an instance of server type "C" inheriting all of the configation for "C" plus some host-specific config. Do any of the existing web-based configuration tools support this sort of system? Are there any in active development that come close and might be modified to suit? (Language is mostly irrelevant -- perl, PHP, C(++), Java, python -- if I can't already code in it, I'll learn, though I might draw the line at VB :)) James ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I've seen this in a couple of different cases: 1) trust relationship between the nagios user on the monitoring host and the monitored host is not set up. To do this you need to generate a pair of ssh keys. I always (and I forget why) generate both a dsa key and an rsa key. To do this is pretty simple: a) log in as the user nagios on your monitoring host. b) run ssh-keygen -t rsa ; and answer the questions/prompts accordingly. c) run ssh-keygen -t dsa ; and do the same as (b) d) cd ~/.ssh e) cat *.pub > exported-keys.txt f) scp exported-keys.txt nagios at monitored-host: (note the trailing colon (:) above) g) log on as nagios on the monitored host. f) cat exported-keys.txt >> .ssh/authorized_keys g) cat exported-keys.txt >> .ssh/authorized_keys2 Now, having said all that one of the shortcuts I have on some of my systems is authorized_keys and authorized_keys2 are the same file with one of them being a sym-link to the other. 2) no SSH on the monitored host at all Well.. put it there and and then follow the steps above. 3) nrpe is not being started from inetd (xinetd) AND is not running as a daemon. Then you need to either configure inetd (xinted) accordingly or enable nrpe to be started up from init during system reboot. (or start it manually... whatever floats your boat.)

The setup I have a question about is very basic, it follows here: define host { use generic-host host_name router alias router address 10.10.10.1 } define host { use generic-host host_name machine alias a generic server address 10.10.10.2 parents router } What happens is the router will be marked as down (because we can't ping the address), but the machine is marked as up (because the router is still functioning and we can ping the machine). We'd like for the machine to be marked as down also, but it is not being marked that way. I tried having a: define hostdependency { host_name router dependend_host_name machine notification_failure_criteria d,u } but that doesn't work either.

This is open source software. **We** are the development team :) We've made a patch to include an issue_commands option to the contacts definition to get this functionality.

I entered the commands directly, and so then had to change the back ticks (`) to forward ticks (') otherwise it started executing these commands! 2: on line 68 $tsqlcmd -S $hostname -U $usr -P $pswd < $tmpfile 2>$errorfile > $resultfile I changed this to $tsqlcmd -H $hostname -U $usr -P $pswd -p 1433 < $tmpfile 2>$errorfile > $resultfile The login you create on your SQL server will need public access to the Master database in order to read the sysprocesses table. When you run the command, don't put in -H etc. Just the host, username, password and server version (2000 or 7). eg: ./check_mssql.sh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx username password 2000 Hope that helps. - Rex Wickham (2020media) ----------------------- This thread is located in the archive at this URL: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?&tx_maillisttofaq_pi 1[showUid]=13788 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

What happend with nagios??? This was sent to the mailing list 4 times. You might want to check your mailer. Chances are nagios is doing exactly what you've told it to do. In order for us to be able to help you troubleshoot this issue, you'll need to provide us with more specific information about your configuration and the problem. Does the host/service show down in the web interface? What is the status information? Please show us an example host definition, service definition, their associated command definitions and the notification command definition that is used when you receive these bad notifications. Any relevant 'error' output would be useful as well. As with any kind of problem, it's hard to troubleshoot if you don't have specific information about the problem. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

There are two ways you can do this. If your paging company has an email-pager gateway, you can simply have Nagios send an email message to your pager address. An example of this type of address might look like: pageme at somepagingcompany.com. You should note that sending notifications through email might fail if SMTP or DNS services are down or if your connection to the greater Internet is down. An alternative to sending pager messages through an email gateway would be to hook a modem up to your monitoring host and have Nagios dial out through the modem and send the message using the TAP (IXO) protocol. There are several programs that can do this for you on *NIX systems. Two popular ones seem to be Sendpage and QuickPage .

I think you pretty much understand what I am trying to do, but just to clarify; I would like to be able to send messages to cell phones..Right, well our corporate cell carrier is Virizon, if you don't already know, you can send an SMS text message to a Verizon cell phone by sending an SMTP e-mail to the phone number like this: (cell Phone-Number)@vtext.com, now is there a way to make Nagios send mail to that number? I noticed that there is no where in Nagios (unless i missed it some where) to setup SMTP gateway information, so sending e-mail to outside e-mail addresses isn't possible, please correct if i am wrong.

Alternately, or in addition, the MTA on your nagios box needs to be configured to smarthost all outgoing mail through your Exchange box if you have restricted its ability to communicate outside of your organization in any way. As was mentioned previously, this is certainly an MTA issue or a security policy issue, not a Nagios issue per-se. You should be looking to the documentation for whatever MTA you are using on your Nagios box and/or determine what is restricting the MTA from sending mail outside your organization (mail server logs can be useful for that). -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

We have no such restrictions and are willing to help with related third party software if we know how but you haven't mentioned what MTA you're using so we can't tell you what you need to change. Is it Postfix, Sendmail, UberCoolMailer or something else? Most MTA's are configured out-of-the-box to be able to send to worldwide addresses. What's been changed to restrict that? Is it firewalled in such a way that it can't directly communicate outside your network? If you're going to go with smarthosting then it's probably a moot point but it may be useful to know if there really is a restriction as if there isn't then the MTA may be broken in other ways. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Message-ID: <43FF812D.3090107@gmail.com> I work with a number of K-12 sites, and would like to see them use Nagios for monitoring, etc. Most of them are staffed by people with little knowledge of linux, and not much interest in learning anything without a GUI. So.... I'm trying to figure out how to most easily create a nagios install with a front end gui (web managed) with minimal effort. I try to stick with Suse because of Yast (Yast makes linux less scary to non-linux people), so trying to figure out which tools fit best in that environment. What I am thinking was creating a VMWare Player, since both VMWare Player and (now) there is a free VMWare Server. Is there any reason as to why this wouldn't work?

Presuming you've installed from source, it's as simple as ./configure --whatever-parameters you need make all make install Then restart nagios. You couldn't do this from 1.x -> 2.x because of the config file changes. You should always check the UPGRADING file for information but in this case nothing affecting an upgrade within 2.x versions has changed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

One thing to be careful of, once you get Exchange & your Nagios server properly relaying email to the Internet, is to make sure that relayed email has fully valid headers. Verizon (and likely other carriers, too) has anti-spam measures in place that will block your text messages if they don't appear to be valid. We ran into this at my current employer. The mail logs reported, "...stat=Sent (MsgIDxxxx Message accepted for delivery (relayed by MailShield))," but the messages never arrived at the phone. The thing that makes me a little uneasy about depending on Verizon's gateway is that we still lose a message to MailShield every now & then, and I gave up trying to get Verizon to whitelist the gateway address after getting the run-around from four different layers of their support tree. -Guy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

If nagios is sending okay to an internal exchange address, then sendmail on the nagios box is already working fine, which would be expected in an out of the box install of sendmail. The problem is that exchange isn't allowing the nagios box to relay. You have to tell exchange that it should allow the nagios box to relay.

I'm assuming that the exchange box is on the same network as the Nagios box, so smarthost wouldn't come into play. However, if the mail is trying to go to a cellphone provider, smarthost might matter if only a small set of hosts on the local network are allowed to connect outbound on port 25.

Message-ID: <26B6622D-298B-4F29-9805-F6C0CB9FD7B4@apparatus.net> I'm in the early stages of evaluating Nagios 2.0 for broader use in our environment, and one of the negative aspects for me is the current approach for defining alert messages. I would much rather have them defined individually outside the configuration files, but still (obviously) allowed to reference macros. It occurred to me that one relatively straightforward solution would be to define an external helper that could parse alert files, looking for macro invocations and replacing the values with data from the NAGIOS_ environment variables. Rather than reinvent the wheel: are there any such tools floating around in the Nagios ecosystem? Alternatively, is anyone aware of a good reason to not take this approach? Thanks. John R.

The timedrift issue is present on VMware too. There are a fair number of documents on the matter on the VMware site and it is a major showstopper indeed. Possibly they will get this fixed and sorted out someday but I don't think they are quite there yet. The latency issue is a problem too on vmware. That being said the VMware player is a good way of demonstrating a Nagios setup. It just is not a good production/permanent solution. I am not sure I understand where your problem lies though. I am guessing it lies with the installation of the OS and Nagios & Co by non-linux-familiars. A better choice in this case might be to prepare a fully setup image that has everything presetup for them. Something along the lines of a Ghost image maybe. Maybe even a live-cd that keeps it's configs on say a USB-stick (a old 32mb stick would be more then enough) or even a floppy disk (if theres not too much to monitor). The latter would even make it really easy for you to send them updates. Just prepare a new Live-CD with the latest Nagios/Plugins/Graphical Nagios Config tools and they would be all sorted out. You could even go sofar as to actually make the whole Linux/Nagios install live on a USB stick of 128 or 256 mb. Most recent machines can boot from USB sticks too now and I have one like it for whenever I want to boot my PC at work into a linux OS. This way you could have them use a cheap diskless machine even which could run extremely silently. As you can see, plenty of options that don't have to cost much at all. VMware is nice in that way that it does complete hardware abstraction but it's not that much of a problem anyway on Linux. Most hardware is automatically detected and setup already and the few things that are not can easily be reconfigured. In fact on live-cd's like Knoppix and DamnSmallLinux even that is done automatically (think of the X server config). Come to think about it, EchelonLinux (based on DamnSmallLinux) already has Nagios on-board as a live-cd (along with a few other network tools). It might not be exactly what you need but would probably be a good start with minimal modification needed to suit your goal.

Also just checked the /root/.smb/smb.conf reference is actually a workaround for a problem with samba's libsmbclient in the perl module Filesys::SmbClient (used by check_smb_shares.pl). Aparantly libsmbclient segfaults if it does not exist. Therefor if it does not exist the perl module Filesys::SmbClient tries to make one (an empty one) but has no permission to do so from what you wrote. I supose you could make it yourself (touch /root/.smb/smb.conf; chmod og+r /root/.smb/smb.conf). Maybe that will solve your issues with that particular check allowing you to use it to monitor the remote shares you spoke of Cheers, Hans On 2/27/06, Hans Engelen wrote: > > For mapped drives that is quite normal since mapped drives are, barring a > small number of special cases, only accessible for the user that did the > actual mapping.

I thought the question might arise about "why don't I monitor the server housing the shares"... well, the problem there is the machine is a NetApp device (not running windows and won't allow me to install anything on it of course... it's an appliance). I've tried touching the /root/.smb/smb.conf... the problem is most likely related to the nagios user can't even see inside /root. I like your idea of mapping the drives under the nagios user and then running the service as the nagios user... I'll give that a shot. On a side note, I did try getting the nrpe checks to work on the windows server but am getting the following error: "CScript Error: Execution of the Windows Script Host failed. (Catastrophic failure)" A little research shows it is most likely related to a software security policy in place. Anyone on this list know what I need to change? Thanks again for all your help.

It appears that your host and service definitions are probably OK if you're seeing notification attempts in nagios.log. Did you verify you're using the correct (new) macros in your notification command? Have you tried running your notification command from the command line as the nagios user, substituting in appropriate text for the macros? What happens? Have you looked in your mail server logs to determine if it sees the notification attempt? Queues the mail? Attempts to deliver it? Bounces it? Have you tried 'echo'ing your notification command to a file to verify that it has the correct syntax and format? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Many people already do this by making their notification commands a custom script instead of using /bin/mail[x] directly, passing the necessary macros as command line options. The sample notification commands are just that, samples.

Macros as environment variables is a new feature with 2.0 and I don't recall anyone specifically saying they're using them or having problems with them so YMMV. I'll probably start using them in the future as we transition to 2.0. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Question ... is there no SNMP access for these blackboxes ? Most blackboxes do from my experience (though I usually steer clear of them so I haven't used that many of them really). SNMP access will most likely allow you to poll a fair number of interesting metrics. Free space, network utilization, load ... that kind of thing. Worth checking into should my other suggestion fail. Incidentally don't forget to give the service-user enough rights to do its work, i.e. on the share and also for other checks it might have to do or you might get other unexplained errors. Start out with adding it to the local admins group to test the general idea first (and get a baseline check) then bump it down to normal user and add rights as you need. But I am sure you know that drill.

SNMP access will most likely allow you to poll a fair number of interesting metrics. Free space, network utilization, load ... that kind of thing. Worth checking into should my other suggestion fail. Incidentally don't forget to give the service-user enough rights to do its work, i.e. on the share and also for other checks it might have to do or you might get other unexplained errors. Start out with adding it to the local admins group to test the general idea first (and get a baseline check) then bump it down to normal user and add rights as you need. But I am sure you know that drill. Cheers, Hans On 2/27/06, Josh wrote: Hans / Ryan, Thanks for your input... I thought the question might arise about "why don't I monitor the server housing the shares"... well, the problem there is the machine is a NetApp device (not running windows and won't allow me to install anything on it of course... it's an appliance). I've tried touching the /root/.smb/smb.conf... the problem is most likely related to the nagios user can't even see inside /root. I like your idea of mapping the drives under the nagios user and then running the service as the nagios user... I'll give that a shot. On a side note, I did try getting the nrpe checks to work on the windows server but am getting the following error: "CScript Error: Execution of the Windows Script Host failed. (Catastrophic failure)" A little research shows it is most likely related to a software security policy in place. Anyone on this list know what I need to change? Thanks again for all your help.

You're going to be the best to know what this is. We can only guess what it is that you're doing. Your host and service definitions (and command definition if it's not stock) as well as the logic behind your check would go a long way in helping us help you. I haven't been able to get check_http to return the same kind of message above but -- It appears you may be doing some kind of HTTP check via some third host and destined for 207.41.64.XX (same server?). 3128 is a common proxy port, most commonly used by squid. Is squid or the application listening on port 3128 restarting every 4 hours on that box? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Right now it covers the basics of installing the rpms, and setting nagios up with a host & service template and setup for monitoring a host and webserver.

I have used the free version but I have limited experience with the professional version that comes with SMS. Basically I know they paid like 15K for an unlimited node license but I know there has to be a physical limit per server. I have been incorporating things like Nagios, perfparse, MRTG, nTop, et al in most solutions, and they work great as a team and in no doubt are more functional and scalable than netmon. What I would like to see from the list is if anyone out there has had to present this argument or something similar to a client or higher ups. If so what were some of the points that you brought out. Also while I continue to Google for exact limitations and features of the professional netmon, does anyone have this information or a link readily available?

NXE will report the status of one or more Nagios systems as XML." I don't use any of them nor do I know if they support 2.0 if you are using that so YMMV. While it's undocumented at this time, the event broker may be worth looking into for your project. Search the user and devel archives for information. There are also at least 3 EB modules that I know of that you could use for a reference, the sample 'hello world' type module included with the distribution, nagios-db (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/nagios-db) and ndoutils (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26589). -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Since & is a shell metacharacter, it is included in the set by default. The example configuration doesn't explicitly mention the HOSTNOTESURL macro, but it makes sense it would be applied to everything used in the notification commands. ---- Eli Stair wrote: > > I've got several different ext host/svc info links set up to various > other pages.

The setup I have a question about is very basic, it follows here: define host { use generic-host host_name router alias router address 10.10.10.1 } define host { use generic-host host_name machine alias a generic server address 10.10.10.2 parents router } What happens is the router will be marked as down (because we can't ping the address), but the machine is marked as up (because the router is still functioning and we can ping the machine). We'd like for the machine to be marked as down also, but it is not being marked that way. I tried having a: define hostdependency { host_name router dependend_host_name machine notification_failure_criteria d,u } but that doesn't work either.

Services being monitored by Nagios go down 2. Nagios sends an initial notification to the contact group associated with the service. 3. Services being monitored by Nagios are still down long enough to cause the service to escalate. 4. The service escalation sends out a notification to a pager 5. The service escalation sends out another notification to a pager. 6. The services being monitored by Nagios recover 7. Nagios sends a notification to the pager 8. Nagios does not send a notification to the original contact group associated with the service. In a nutshell, the primary contact group is an internal mailing list I use to track problems associated with a clients systems and is designed primarily to act as a paper trail. The pager is there to alert me to critical system failures outside of work hours. I get the pager recovery message but the internal list does not receive the recovery notification leading to some other technicians believing that the systems are still down when they check the list at 8am the next morning. Can anyone shed some insight? I have searched the list but cannot find anything about this specific problem. Below is a cut-down version of my configuration: Regards, Brett Henrich [From services.cfg] # AnImportantClient Webmail Server define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name animportantclient.webmail service_description HTTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 60 retry_check_interval 10 contact_groups internal-list-animportantclient notification_interval 1200 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_http } [from escalations.cfg] define serviceescalation { host_name animportantclient.webmail service_description HTTP contact_groups pager first_notification 2 last_notification 0 notification_interval 1200 escalation_period normalbusinesshours } [from timeperiods.cfg] define timeperiod{ timeperiod_name normalbusinesshours alias "Normal" Working Hours sunday 00:00-24:00 monday 08:00-17:00 tuesday 08:00-17:00 wednesday 08:00-17:00 thursday 08:00-17:00 friday 08:00-17:00 saturday 00:00-24:00 } -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Status 500 usually means a server error on a HTTP server. I suppose you need to check your squid logs to find out why. Nagios is just detecting the problem on said squid server.
