I would like to point out that if both lan segments are in different address blocks, -I should not be necessary. The route table on the gateway should be correctly populated. ie. home vpn gateway should have a 1 hop route to work and a 1 hop route to ISP gateway. What is the output in Nagios (visible output) Remedies: Try a shell wrapper and capture the ping exit code. and use that as the wrapper's exit code. -- -sg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

There are also SNMP plugins here -- http://www.nagiosexchange.org/SNMP.51.0.html and of course, everyone's first go-to point for any question Google has lots to say as well -- http://www.google.com/search?hs=hzn&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.m ozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=nagios+snmp+plugins&btnG=Search -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Hi Folks, I am having a very strange problem. I am moving nagios to a new server and updating to V2.0 (from V2.0b1), at the same time upgrading from nagios-plugins-1.4beta to nagios-plugins-1.4.2. The big difference, and I think the source of my problem, is that I am going from Debian Linux to Redhat Enterprise Linux. In a nutshell, "check_http --ssl" doesn't work for our servers which REQUIRE strong encryption. Examples: On our OLD Debian machine (everything is great): # ./check_http -V check_http (nagios-plugins 1.4-beta1) 1.79 # ./check_http -v -C 60 --ssl www.wellsfargo.com SSL seeding: OK OK - Certificate will expire on 08/19/2006 23:59. # ./check_http -v -C 60 --ssl my-web-server SSL seeding: OK OK - Certificate will expire on 08/14/2011 18:21. New Redhat Server: # ./check_http -V check_http (nagios-plugins 1.4.2) 1.81 # ./check_http -v -C 60 --ssl www.wellsfargo.com SSL seeding: OK OK - Certificate will expire on 08/19/2006 23:59. # ./check_http -v -C 120 --ssl my-web-server SSL seeding: OK CRITICAL - Cannot retrieve server certificate. This happens even if I compile version 1.79 on the Redhat box and try to run it. So, I figured it must be an ssl library problem...right? Nope. I grabbed the latest openssl, compiled it, and used it to build both versions of check_http, and got the exact same problem. I receive this error even when checking to make sure the https side is up and running: # ./check_http --ssl -v my-web-server SSL seeding: OK CRITICAL - Cannot retrieve server certificate. I am pretty sure it has to do with my requirement of strong encryption within my Apache server, but it works fine with my old setup. Has anyone else on the list run into this problem before?? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Services are rescheduled at the retry interval when the have changed to a non-OK state. Once the service has been retried max_attempts times without a change in its status, it will revert to being scheduled at its "normal" rate as defined by the check_interval value. Unless you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes. "is used to define the number of "time units" to wait before scheduling a re-check of the service" What exactly does this mean? If a service check fails, then there is clearly a need to recheck the service. One would normally want to do a recheck of the service in question at a higher rate than the normal scheduled (a.k.a. "normal_check_interval" rate). Am I correct in this? If so, and if that is the purpose of retry_check_interval, then the above definition is wrong, because it states "number of "time units" to wait before scheduling a re-check". It does not say "number of "time units" to wait before re-checking". The difference here is that as defined it will wait retry_check_interval units of time and then only reschedule the check. Perhaps the confusion has to do with what it means to "schedule a check". I would think that in essence all future checks are "scheduled" in the sense that they are defined to take place at certain future times, as determined by their normal_check_interval and check_period definitions. But I am guessing that "schedule" in nagiosspeak actually means something analogous to placed into the queue for checking during the next available opportunity according to the current position of the service reaper. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

If so, and if that is the purpose of Yes. This is no different than nagios (re-)scheduling the next active check as part of its normal routines. Because you do want to perform checks more frequently than normal in an error state, nagios switches from using normal_check_interval to determine scheduling to using retry_check_interval. > retry_check_interval, then the above definition is wrong, because it > states "number of "time units" to wait before scheduling a re-check". It > does not say "number of "time units" to wait before re-checking". The > difference here is that as defined it will wait retry_check_interval units > of time and then only reschedule the check. It's correct. Under normal circumstances, Nagios performs a check. If that check returns OK then it will re-schedule the next check based on normal_check_interval. If the check returns non-OK then it will re-schedule the next check based on retry_check_interval. > Perhaps the confusion has to do with what it means to "schedule a > check".

But I am guessing that "schedule" in nagiosspeak actually This is a bad assumption. Nagios does not plan ahead when scheduling checks. The next check time is calculated only when the current check is completed. The only check planning that is done is for the initial checks on start and that's merely to spread them out so that all first checks don't happen at the same time. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I think the wording above is a bit ambiguous and might be clearer if it simply said "the number of "time units" to wait before re-checking the service."

As of now, I can write events to the Nagios external command file (/var/log/nagios/rw/nagio.cmd). Nagios notices these events, and logs them to the nagios.log. e.g. /var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.log contains: [1141242013] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;10.12.3.118;2;w32_time;W32Time Event I can't get Nagios to send out notifications as a result though.

Have you checked nagios.log to verify that your assumptions about the check results in both cases are accurate? We'd need those and related entries to know what's really going on, else we're just speculating. If you're not seeing sufficient log entries, make sure you've enabled log_ options in nagios.cfg. You may also want to consider enabling debug options at compile time for additional logging. As noted in nagios.cfg, using an interval_length other than 60 isn't common and isn't thoroughly tested. I for one have not experienced notification issues such as this using many versions of Netsaint/Nagios. Also, you should be using the 2.0 release now to make sure you're not hitting a bug that's already been fixed. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

With syslog-NG you can write template output something like: destination d_facility_crit { pipe("/var/run/nagios.pipe" template("$HOST,$FACILITY,2,'$MSG'\n") template_escape(no)); }; The template being the data in a form that NSCA can read. The destination is a named pipe. Then echo the contents of the pipe into the send_nsca binary.

Copy the binary and alls plugins which nrpe should use to the host which you like to monitor. 3. Start the daemon on that host (For debugging purposes use nrpe -d -c /path/to/nrpe.cfg) enable debugging in nrpe.cfg and watch your logs. 4. Test if the daemon works from your server If you see output like: ./check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx .xxx NRPE v2.0 Nrpe works as expected. If not, try the README which is a really good starting point...

I have a small question if anybody has configured a action_url for a host which launches a local program of the windows machine where you have your browser. I monitor several services of a host like http, https, ssh,cpu, .... If one of them appears in the service problems I open the host details and have just to click on the "extra host action" link and a local program like putty with the hostname as the parameter is launched. So I would get automatically a ssh session to that server.

Thanks! But, I was wondering about check_log. It seems that it would work for my environment. However I see that I have run into a snag of sorts. I'm parsing out Cisco PIX logs, and was able to parse out "Deny" type logs successfully. However, I'm only getting part of the syslog message. Here is what I receive in MySQL: (36) Mar 3 14:22:11 secure-primary Mar 03 2006 14:59:44: If I look at the Nagios log (External Commands) I also see the "chopped" line, so it appears to be occurring during the parsing process. Here is the syslog entry: Mar 3 14:22:11 secure-primary Mar 03 2006 14:59:44: %PIX-4-106023: Deny udp src inside:10.xxx.xxx.xxx/12346 dst EXTRANET:192.168.xx.xx/12345 by access-group "inside" It appears to be failing at the "%" on the syslog entry.

Look at the notification command of contact_group Support for that. But what i saw is the is_volatile option in your template. You should set it to 1, because each time you read the logfile, you remove the cause of the alert by not reading the same lines of the logfile again. If you get an alert when you run check_log next time, then another match has been found which must be treated as a separate event.

If you set up check_commands dependson your needs... the central check_commands can be used as a fall back when no distributed status reports come in - very ofen, you'll find variants of check_dummy with a status of WARNING or CRITICAL and some message saying that no reports came in.

I'm installing the standard Nagios check_* plugins on a server with only the UCD SNMP daemon (IE, the one you get with Linux). This takes generic extensions, which are compatible with the Nagios plugins. So, I would add something like this to the snmpd.conf: exec procs /usr/local/nrpe/check_procs -w 100 -c 1000 and then the output of the plugin would be visible via SNMP. I can write a simple check plugin - check_ucd - that I can query with check_ucd -H hostname -v procs and it returns the plugin output and exit status. Of course, you cant pass any parameters. Has anyone tried this before? Am I reinventing a round rolling thing? Would people want a copy of check_ucd?

Correct. >but this does not make sense to me. The idea for the shortened retry check interval is to allow faster checks while the service is in a soft error state. This way you can run multiple (soft) checks within the time it would take to perform a single normal check. Once the hard state resumes, the "normal" check interval will resume. It would probably have been better if the intervals were called "hard_check_interval" and "soft_check_interval" rather than normal/retry since normal makes it sound like it should be used for the "normal" state which one hopes is "ok" 8-). >if a service is >down - it seems logical to up the check interval and try a couple more >checks before sending an alert. but if the service has not recovered i >don't want the check interval to go back to normal. You don't say what version of nagios you are using but there are a couple of ways to handle this. I believe I saw a patch for nagios 1.x that added another check_interval option. I want to say error_check_interval, but that's not getting any hits on google. I think it was on the nagios developer's list, but it could have been nagios-users. For nagios 2.x you can use the adaptive monitoring (see manual) command: 'CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL:interval' to change the interval from an event handler. I would suggest using the objects.cache file to determine the configured normal_check_interval and retry_check_interval. You may have to cache that info for your event handler as I am not sure if that file is re-written when the intervals change. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

However, the docco suggests (perldoc p1.pl) that you can enable some debug/verbose output to find where the plugin/Perl code is blowing up. Here's my debug p1.pl header.

Any help would be highly appreciated. /dev/eth doesn't sound like a modem device. You need to have an analog modem attached to your computer for sms_client to use to connect to the POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) network. A DSL modem != analog modem. As you can see above, it's trying to dial a phone number, not connect to an IP address. A DSL modem is not sufficient and doesn't provide connectivity to the POTS network. As far as alternatives if you can't connect an analog modem to the computer you might see if your provider has a mail->sms gateway. It's not as reliable in the event of a network failure of course... -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Ah, you are running into the problem that in ePN STDOUT does not go to STDOUT. It is redirected to an array inside of p1.pl. The best way to fix this is to not use the "|" on the commandline. Use: open(CMD,"|/bin/mail arg1 arg2..."); print CMD "Perl here.\n\n"; close(CMD); or if you really need to use the commandline pipe, then you have to not use ePN (ie. use "/usr/bin/perl script_name | /bin/mail ..." -- And, did Guloka think the Ulus were too ugly to save? -Centauri ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I have some hosts that have services and their contact groups already defined like so: define service{ use generic-service host_name vader service_description NTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups oncall,ulsysadmins,dba notification_interval 5 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_ntp } I also have an escalation for this service: define serviceescalation{ host_name vader service_description NTP first_notification 2 last_notification 2 notification_interval 5 contact_groups oncall } define serviceescalation{ host_name vader service_description NTP first_notification 3 last_notification 4 notification_interval 5 contact_groups oncall,backup } define serviceescalation{ host_name vader service_description NTP first_notification 5 last_notification 0 notification_interval 0 contact_groups oncall,backup } What I'm wondering is if I can add another contact for this service that gets notified after 30 minutes, but only gets notified once. Ideally I would like to be able to do this as easily as possible and for an entire group of servers and for multiple services, if possible. We are migrating from big brother and while big brother is not nearly as complex and functional as Nagios, it can be done in big brother with probably one line. Am I missing something though? Can a service be defined twice? Or can I define it in an escalation that includes the entire hostgroup that I want? Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: Dear Folks, I am writing to report a peculiar behaviour of the availability CGI with Nagios 2.0 Firstly, I think the avail.cgi is a wonderful beast that turns the Nagios logs into a very useful and desirable data source. My reporting requirements are down times minus any down time scheduled. I guess that total_time_down is in fact the sum of time_down_scheduled and time_down_unscheduled. But for some of my availability data (last month), I see (with an unpublished SQL interface on top). DB<29> p $SQL SELECT host_name, total_time_down, time_down_scheduled, time_down_unscheduled FROM tab_24x7 where total_time_down > 0 and time_down_unscheduled > 10000 DB<30> $s = $d->prepare($SQL) DB<31> $s->execute DB<32> $s->dump_results 'Lismore_Optus_router_PE_interface', '96712', '0', '96712' 'MTASW203', '800', '10000', '4294958096' 'TODSW210', '429', '6771', '4294960954' 'TRASW202', '200', '7000', '4294960496' 'TRASW203', '1392', '5808', '4294962880' 'TRASW204', '1092', '6108', '4294962280' 6 rows The problem is the too large values of time_down_unscheduled and the fact that the total_time_down is not the sum of sched and unsched downtime. In this case, downtime was scheduled for the TOD\w+ and TRA\w+ hosts (the Lismore entry is correct BTW). What can I provide that may help the investigation progress ?

It looks very much like someone is using signed integers when they should be using unsigned, or vice-versa. We have had to revert to using an in-house tool to calculate availabilities. I am using Nagios 1.2 -- I don't really want to modify the code since we're likely to move up to 2.0 in a few months time, once it is out of beta and generally stable.

My situation is that I have 922 services to check (at the moment, I need to ramp up to over 2,500 but the latency problem is a show-stopper at the moment). I'm using a very low-spec Dell running Solaris 10 with Nagios 2.0to do it. Using default settings, I was initially getting average check latencies of the order of 5-6 seconds which was fine, but after a day or so of no Nagios restarts, that figure would rocket to 100 seconds and stay there, not ever re-checking the majority of the services, with re-scheduled check times staying in the past, until I did a nagios reload. There was one directive which solved the stale re-check times:- check_for_orphaned_services=1 Also, I reduced a couple of timeout values so that Nagios stopped wasting time on checks which were bound to fail:- service_check_timeout=30 host_check_timeout=30 event_handler_timeout=30 notification_timeout=30 Given that the load on the machine doesn't appear to go over 0.50, I've allowed infinite concurrent services checks now, increased from 400, but that appears to be making no difference at all. And I left the reaper frequency at 10 seconds. So now the checks were being re-scheduled for times in the future, and the latencies stopped running away quite so dramatically. This is the state of things at the moment:- Active Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 107 (11.6%) <= 5 minutes: 593 (64.3%) <= 15 minutes: 922 (100.0%) <= 1 hour: 922 (100.0%) Since program start: 922 (100.0%) Metric Min. Max. Average Check Execution Time: 0.06 sec 19.70 sec 0.139 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 17.19 sec 2.164 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Passive Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 0 (0.0%) <= 5 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 15 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 1 hour: 0 (0.0%) Since program start: 0 (0.0%) Metric Min.

Average Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Active Host Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 1 (0.9%) <= 5 minutes: 4 (3.6%) <= 15 minutes: 5 (4.5%) <= 1 hour: 5 (4.5%) Since program start: 11 (9.8%) Metric Min. Max. Average Check Execution Time: 0.02 sec 13.52 sec 0.170 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 8.16 sec 0.073 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Passive Host Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 0 (0.0%) <= 5 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 15 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 1 hour: 0 (0.0%) Since program start: 0 (0.0%) Metric Min. Max. Average Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% However, the latencies are creeping upwards again, albeit very very slowly and at some point I think I'll have to do a reload just to get the checking back on track again.

Message-ID: <8C18BAD1F46B2245B0A08BCF1A823DD4109C94@raptor.redhawk.info> Hello, I've been using check_icmp and have also used check_ping to test if a host is available or not. It seems like a simple test but I'm running into an interesting issue. I see round trip times in the 500+ ms range, which causes an alert. At first I thought we had a network issue, but when I PING directly to the host which I'm running the check, I receive round trip times in the 1-2ms range, which is puzzling to me. On some sensors I'm testing 40+ hosts with check_icmp, and another sensor I'm only testing 10 hosts, I see the same issue on both sensors. So it doesn't look like its amount of tests I'm running. I wonder what I'm seeing is the time for the complete check to take place for each host. Has anyone else seen this issue? Thanks!

Great tool, have been extremely happy with it. I have been asked by my management to "create a list of WHAT we are currently monitoring and WHEN someone is notified and WHO that someone is". This seems pretty trivial, just go through the all the configuration files and cut-n-paste the desired information. A very time consuming task, and something that would need to be updated from time to time. Is there a better way? If not, for those intimate with Nagios internals, any estimate on how much work would be involved in traversing the internal data structures and producing a report? I've got a programming background, and willing to tackle this myself if needed.

Informatique www.gardienvirtuel.com Montr?al, Qu?bec, Canada >>> kate.harris at gmail.com 2006-03-07 06:32:48 >>> I had a similar problem and thought I had fixed it. My situation is that I have 922 services to check (at the moment, I need to ramp up to over 2,500 but the latency problem is a show-stopper at the moment). I'm using a very low-spec Dell running Solaris 10 with Nagios 2.0to do it. Using default settings, I was initially getting average check latencies of the order of 5-6 seconds which was fine, but after a day or so of no Nagios restarts, that figure would rocket to 100 seconds and stay there, not ever re-checking the majority of the services, with re-scheduled check times staying in the past, until I did a nagios reload. There was one directive which solved the stale re-check times:- check_for_orphaned_services=1 Also, I reduced a couple of timeout values so that Nagios stopped wasting time on checks which were bound to fail:- service_check_timeout=30 host_check_timeout=30 event_handler_timeout=30 notification_timeout=30 Given that the load on the machine doesn't appear to go over 0.50, I've allowed infinite concurrent services checks now, increased from 400, but that appears to be making no difference at all. And I left the reaper frequency at 10 seconds. So now the checks were being re-scheduled for times in the future, and the latencies stopped running away quite so dramatically. This is the state of things at the moment:- Active Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 107 (11.6%) <= 5 minutes: 593 (64.3%) <= 15 minutes: 922 (100.0%) <= 1 hour: 922 (100.0%) Since program start: 922 (100.0%) Metric Min. Max. Average Check Execution Time: 0.06 sec 19.70 sec 0.139 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 17.19 sec 2.164 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Passive Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 0 (0.0%) <= 5 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 15 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 1 hour: 0 (0.0%) Since program start: 0 (0.0%) Metric Min.

Average Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Active Host Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 1 (0.9%) <= 5 minutes: 4 (3.6%) <= 15 minutes: 5 (4.5%) <= 1 hour: 5 (4.5%) Since program start: 11 (9.8%) Metric Min. Max. Average Check Execution Time: 0.02 sec 13.52 sec 0.170 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 8.16 sec 0.073 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Passive Host Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 0 (0.0%) <= 5 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 15 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 1 hour: 0 (0.0%) Since program start: 0 (0.0%) Metric Min. Max. Average Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% However, the latencies are creeping upwards again, albeit very very slowly and at some point I think I'll have to do a reload just to get the checking back on track again.

Seems $HOSTNAME$ is provided: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html so just add it to the event handler description. E.G. define command { command_name handle_PortScanCheck command_line $USER2$/PortScanCheck $SERVICEATTEMPT$ $SERVICESTATE$ $HOSTADDRESS$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' } I use HOSTADDRESS rather then HOSTNAME, but it should still work. >I'm not sure how to tell my external command for what >host it should be changing the normal_check_interval. How is the >external command supposed to know which host triggered its event >handler? It all depends on what arguments you define for the event handler. Also with 2.0 I think all macros are in the environment as well, so you can get NAGIOS_HOSTNAME from the environment rather then passing it on the command line. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Using the example service event handler on the documentation page referenced above it becomes -- define command{ command_name restart-httpd command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart-httpd $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ $HOSTNAME$ } Your event handler script needs to grab that extra command line argument to do something useful with it of course. How that's done varies widely based on the scripting language used. For /bin/sh, the hostname would be stored in the $4 variable. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

But > main task is to provide for failover work of allover nagios > configuration - in case of failure of one of the servers > another server must provide data collection from all > monitoring servers. Is there any solutions for it? We have such a setup here. I have two Linux servers, each with 2 network cards and one Adaptec serveraid card. There is an external SCSI disk unit, connected to BOTH server's SCSI cards, with a pair of disks configured in mirror. The servers are joined by a crossed ethernet cable on the second network card. The primary network card of each is on the network. I have installed linux-HA on both servers, and have a service group consisting of a virtual IP, the filesystem on the external disk, and the nagios service. This is set to failover between servers, with one server being the primary home with autofailback. (Actually, there is also a mysql database on the nagios server, plus the BigBrother/Nagios gateway and a couple of other services, and the other server normally runs our MRTG setup on a separate filesystem, but this is just extra) Since the Adaptec Serveraid natively supports this configuration, it works very well with linux-HA and the failover goes nicely. The only thing to add is some cleanup code so that, if server1 dies, then server2 picks up the filesystem and needs to delete any Nagios.cmd pipe that may have been left lying around before starting. This was surprisingly easy to set up, once the Raid config had been done. Thereis a bitof problem with how to define 'down' -- if the network interface 1 is down (so people cannot see Nagios) but interface 2 is up (so the heartbeat still works) should it fail over? I would say no. You should also send the heartbeat over the crossed ethernet cable, since otherwise a switch going down would make the 2 servers fight over the services (but thanks to the serveraid having internal locking, youll never get both accessing the filesystem at once and corrupting data) Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Informatique www.gardienvirtuel.com Montr?al, Qu?bec, Canada >>> kate.harris at gmail.com 2006-03-07 06:32:48 >>> I had a similar problem and thought I had fixed it. My situation is that I have 922 services to check (at the moment, I need to ramp up to over 2,500 but the latency problem is a show-stopper at the moment). I'm using a very low-spec Dell running Solaris 10 with Nagios 2.0to do it. Using default settings, I was initially getting average check latencies of the order of 5-6 seconds which was fine, but after a day or so of no Nagios restarts, that figure would rocket to 100 seconds and stay there, not ever re-checking the majority of the services, with re-scheduled check times staying in the past, until I did a nagios reload. There was one directive which solved the stale re-check times:- check_for_orphaned_services=1 Also, I reduced a couple of timeout values so that Nagios stopped wasting time on checks which were bound to fail:- service_check_timeout=30 host_check_timeout=30 event_handler_timeout=30 notification_timeout=30 Given that the load on the machine doesn't appear to go over 0.50, I've allowed infinite concurrent services checks now, increased from 400, but that appears to be making no difference at all. And I left the reaper frequency at 10 seconds. So now the checks were being re-scheduled for times in the future, and the latencies stopped running away quite so dramatically. This is the state of things at the moment:- Active Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 107 (11.6%) <= 5 minutes: 593 (64.3%) <= 15 minutes: 922 (100.0%) <= 1 hour: 922 (100.0%) Since program start: 922 (100.0%) Metric Min. Max. Average Check Execution Time: 0.06 sec 19.70 sec 0.139 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 17.19 sec 2.164 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Passive Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 0 (0.0%) <= 5 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 15 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 1 hour: 0 (0.0%) Since program start: 0 (0.0%) Metric Min.

Average Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Active Host Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 1 (0.9%) <= 5 minutes: 4 (3.6%) <= 15 minutes: 5 (4.5%) <= 1 hour: 5 (4.5%) Since program start: 11 (9.8%) Metric Min. Max. Average Check Execution Time: 0.02 sec 13.52 sec 0.170 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 8.16 sec 0.073 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Passive Host Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 0 (0.0%) <= 5 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 15 minutes: 0 (0.0%) <= 1 hour: 0 (0.0%) Since program start: 0 (0.0%) Metric Min. Max.

We usually use IPs, although with a local DNS it removes our dependency on external services while retaining the flexibility of hostname. The DNS will automatically update the zone files every night from one of our several DNS servers, to keep the cache fresh. Some checks, though (such as http retrieves) we always do via hostnames as this more closely matches a user experience, and allows us to catch DNS changes that break a web site. A local DNS helps here as it means again no dependency on other servers (if we lose communication with ALL the DNS servers for 4 days (long enough for the zone to expire) then I think someone would have already noticed!)

Short Question: Where is the nagios sbin directory if you installed from RPM? Long Story: I just installed Nagios 2.0 (stable) on a FC4 system with SElinux enabled. I used the fc3 RPMs from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/nagios/ (dag doesn't have the FC4 RPMs out there yet): nagios-2.0-2.1.fc3.rf.i386 Also installed nagios-plugins-1.4.1-1.1.fc3.rf.i386 from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/nagios-plugins/. Seems to be ok, except I had to --nodep the installation of the plugins and add "Ignore { nagios-plugins };" to my apt.conf file (yes, I'm still using apt)... The reason was that it was complaining about Perl Net-SNMP, but I already had it installed (net-snmp-perl)... Then I copied my config files from an older server I had (with Nagios 1.2), changed a few things to comply with the new syntax and tried to get the web interface configured. I was able to get to the home page and read the online help/manual ok. But any other attempt to click on hosts, services, etc would not work. I'd get "Error: Could not read object configuration data!" No trace of this in /var/log/nagios/nagios.log... I assume I need to configure SElinux, but unfortunately I don't know how. Any pointers would be appreciated. I tried one thing: chcon -R system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t /usr/lib/nagios/ (although I think I only need to do this on /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/) But that didn't help a bit...

Note, however, that Nagios has been included in the FC distro so you could install the official FC package using apt-get, yum, or even up2date, e.g.: # up2date nagios > Seems to be ok, except I had to --nodep the installation of the plugins > and add "Ignore { nagios-plugins };" to my apt.conf file (yes, I'm still > using apt)...

This is undoubtedly where your problem is. Copying the old config files won't get you very far. I would suggest running nagios in flight check mode as follows until you get 0 errors. You may need to iterate a few times but this is the best way to troubleshoot a bad config. # nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

For a standard install/configuration of nagios-1.x or 2.0 from source, nagios uses flat files to store status information. They are located in the path specified by 'status_file' in nagios.cfg. Archived status files are stored in 'log_archive_path'. Typically /usr/local/nagios/var/ and /usr/local/nagios/var/archives respectively.

Hi, I installed nagios 2.0 on RedHat Enterprise 4,i can access to the nagios webpage,my problem concerns, the way to declare hosts in configFiles. Normally there is no hosts.cfg file in this version(Nagios2.0) so is it correct to declare hosts in bigger.cfg or in minimal.cfg files? About services i noticed that services.cfg was absent, and i have to declare services in bigger.cfg, but i can't see all the hosts i want to monitor when i click on host detail menu!! do you have any solutions for me. regards ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Since we have 300 hosts to check and more services, managing 300 IP's that do change sometimes is too much time consuming. In this particular situation, the server hosting the dns service was at 100% from time to time. I'll be noticed now when it is 90% or more in a space of 10 minutes or more :) One partial solution was also to put --with-ipv6=no while compiling the plugins. Somehow, when no options are present, when the query goes, there is 1 ipv4 packet and 3 ipv6 packets (retrys). On the other hand, Steve Shipway suggestion of having a local DNS sound good. Or mabe there is a way to keep arp cache longer? But this goes in GNU/Linux and not in Nagios :) --------------------------------------------------- Alexandre Racine - Gardien Virtuel - S?curit?

Whichever you've specified as a cfg_file in nagios.cfg. In fact, those are just example files and you don't need to use them at all. You could specify your own cfg_files or use cfg_dir. We have all our devices in separate files per region and/or function for example. cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ena_config/tnops-hosted-dns.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ena_config/tnops-east.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ena_config/tnops-lea-east.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ena_config/tnops-middle.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ena_config/tnops-lea-middle.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ena_config/tnops-west.cfg ... > About services i noticed that services.cfg was absent, and i have to > declare > services in bigger.cfg, but i can't see all the hosts i want to monitor > when i click on host detail menu!! Is the file specified as a cfg_file in nagios.cfg? Try running /path/to/nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg and look for warnings or errors.

This is undoubtedly where your problem is. Copying the old config files won't get you very far. I would suggest running nagios in flight check mode as follows until you get 0 errors.

I am facing problems for a few days with my Nagios server (2.0b4). I often have more than one nagios "root" process (launched by the root process), and sometimes have a "defunct" nagios process. It is really anoying, as it can leads to Nagios not working any more, or, at best, only doing half of the checks it should perform,... Often, it also stops recording the results of the checks, or "forget" latest informations after a restart, rolling back to the status data of hours ago. I don't remember doing any big change lately, so I can't find why I am facing all those problems right now... Does any of you know what can cause those defunct processes, or the multiple nagios "root" processes? Or best do you know how I could avoid it :) Thanks a lot for your help, Johan. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

That's building from source to install. In some shops where rpm based distros are mandated, this is a no-no. Your method doesn't allow for any system-wide software auditing system to know what is installed. Also, your command above will fail because it looks for the 'make' command in the current directory where it won't be. For rpm based systems, it's best to work with the tools of the system and use rpms. In doing that you have to know how to salt the general provided directions to taste. There are guides for working with nagios rpms out there. Basically, understand the theory behind the directions, and the platform becomes irrelevant. > and you can see installation way when you unzip tar file. Nope, you can see the source files.

What could be wrong? > Nagios is first-and-foremost a service monitor. With few exceptions*, host checks are never executed unless a service on that host returns a non-OK state. You need to have at least one service defined per host if you want it to be checked regularly. That service could be just another ping check. As to why some show OK and others show PENDING, I would speculate that they are listed as the parent for a device that has failed in the past. Nagios will check the host status of parents to determine if a child is down or unreachable due to higher level outages. * Starting with Nagios 2.0 you _can_ have regularly scheduled host checks but they affect performance and are discouraged. The parent checks are another case where a host check may be executed without a failure of a service on the device. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

That's building from source to install. In some shops where rpm based distros are mandated, this is a no-no. Your method doesn't allow for any system-wide software auditing system to know what is installed. Also, your command above will fail because it looks for the 'make' command in the current directory where it won't be. For rpm based systems, it's best to work with the tools of the system and use rpms. In doing that you have to know how to salt the general provided directions to taste. There are guides for working with nagios rpms out there. Basically, understand the theory behind the directions, and the platform becomes irrelevant. > and you can see installation way when you unzip tar file. Nope, you can see the source files.

And as Hugo has said, you are misinterpretting the docs for escalations: they are not defined to be sent notifications to system-group after 60 and 90 minutes, they mean they are going to be sent every 60 minutes from notifications number 3 to 5, and every 90 minutes from the sixth notification on. -- Rafael Costa rafaelc at vegait.com.br Curitiba - Paran? - Brasil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

And maybe you read even where to look in the manual ;-) For Release 2.0, look at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/toc.html. You will find "Notification escalations" under the heading "Advanced Topics". And when you want the documentation of Version 1.x, just change /2_0/ to /1_0/ in the URL. Took me 3 minutes to find out.

Yes, there's are specific FAQ entries on sending SMS messages and lots of discussion in the list archives. Search for SMS in those resources.

Check the docs for {net|ucd}-snmp, and the help for check_snmp.* For instance, find out what version of what plugin you're using, what mechanism it uses to read the MIB and access SNMP (bash/perl exec of the binaries, perl module, direct binary implementation compiled-in, etc). Sounds also like you'll want to determine what it is you actually want to poll via SNMP, and whether it's a static value (temp/PS/FAN/link state) or time-dependent (network traffic, IOps/sec, etc). If you don't have those questions answered, you might want to start with installing your MIBs in the net-snmp search path (try the net-snmp FAQ ; 'export MIBS=all'), and saving the output to peruse vs. the MIB while you're reading it. In the situation it sounds like you want, you'll have to understand not just Nagios but SNMP as well. /eli Robert Stewart wrote: > I?m new to setting up SNMP on nagios. > > I need some pointers. > > I have downloaded the mibs that I need but I have never installed them > on Suse 10 for nagios 2.0. > > Could you all tell me how I would get the mibs in place to be used by > the ./check_snmp command. > > > > Could you all send me an example of the ./check_snmp command that you > all use > > > > Thank you > > > > Robert Stewart > > SalesEng. > > E&H Integrated Systems > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net > email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that > extends applications into web and mobile media.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. tac.cgi is built from cgi/tac.c. If you just need to import an image from some other system, then edit the file and modify the HTML portion to do the IMG SRC in the desired location. What you want is probably in the display_tac_overview function. Edit that then recompile. If you want Nagios to create that BW monitoring image for you,well, that is a much larger task. -Jason Martin -- This message is PGP/MIME signed. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanx for the prompt answer, I realize now that I shouldn't try to fool the system by using obscure ways. BUT ..... If I use the suggested "contact"-path, could u pls explain what is the major difference between a notification and an event? If I already have in production a event-handler script that works fine (except for not using the CONTACTx stuff), would I then disable "event_handler processing" completely and use the contactgroup in a host definition to use a contact that would call the same script as I am using for events? The example I gave before is somewhat shortened, here is what I really use define command { command_name send_snmptrap_host command_line /usr/bin/perl $USER1$/eventhandlers/send_nagiostrap HOST $HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTSTATETYPE$ $HOSTATTEMPT$ $HOSTNAME$#$HOSTADDRESS$#$HOSTALIAS$#$SERVICEDESC$#$USER2$ } Would I still be able to use the above macros through a notification command? Would the macros above contain the exact same information if I used them in a notification command rather than in a event_handler? So basically, If I understood u right, u say that I could do define host { name NOC-MAIN event_handler_enabled 0 register 0 notifications_enabled 1 contact_groups NOC_TRAP } define host { name host1 use NOC-MAIN alias my host1 address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx check_command check-host-alive } define contactgroup { contactgroup_name NOC_TRAP alias noc trap contact members noc_trap } define contact { contact_name noc_trap alias contact for running traps service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_options w,u,c,r host_notification_options d,u,r service_notification_commands send_snmptrap_svc host_notification_commands send_snmptrap_host email xx at xx pager some number address1 text1 #address2 Network Security #address3 Network Security #address4 Network Security #address5 Network Security #address6 Network Security } would I loose any functionality at all by not using eventhandlers in favor of notification commands? would appreciate your help Regards Carlos de Sousa Marc Powell wrote: > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- >>admin at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Carlos de Sousa >>Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 1:02 PM >>To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net >>Subject: [Nagios-users] event_handlers macro contactemail >> >>Hi! >> >>I am in real need for having access to the $CONTACTx$ macros in my >>eventhandlers.

Ethan has committed it into Nagios 3.x, but has not chosen to put it into the 2.x branch. Make sure you let Ethan know if it should be in - if there's a lot of users, then I'm sure he'll reconsider. I'll try and make sure it always applies cleanly to 2.x. However, Alan's request won't work with this patch. He wants a user to be able to acknowledge an alert (which would involve submitting a command) but not disable services/hosts (which is submitting a different command). The patch only says whether a user can submit or not. There's no granularity in the types of commands in Nagios yet.

An event-handler is run for every non-OK check up to max_check_attempts (soft and hard states) and once when the service recovers to an OK state. A notification is launched when non-OK checks reach max_check_attempts (hard state), when a recovery occurs and whenever you have repeat notifications scheduled (if at all).

If you did this then the event_handler would be redundant.

Some, related to when they are executed as noted above. Whether that's important or not is up to you.

Actually, it is not a fire-and-forget kind of thing. I started with Nagios V1 a long time ago, and are using the eventhandler to send snmptraps to a TEMIP console. I have developed our own "NAGIOS-MIB" that is integrated into TEMIP (remember this was long before V2 was announced) to Keep the TRAP and TRAP_CLEAR in SYNC, the eventhandler uses a sequence number for the alarm, and the eventhandler keeps a STATE database with seq number, so for example, when I get a UP or OK from Nagios, I lookup the host/service pair in the local DB and send off a CLEAR/RESET trap with the same SEQ number as when SERVICE/HOST went CRITICAL/DOWN. So it's imperative that I always have a matching UP/OK for each DOWN/CRITICAL, that is basically the only states I bother to handle. One of the many MIB variables in the TRAP is a URL, that contains all kind of info, When the NOC people see the alarm in TEMIP, we have a modification so that they get a drop-down menu with the choice to surf to the URL, which will bring up a WEB browser containing alarm instructions (dynamically generated by a CGI I have developed that gets the information for the Instruction thru the URL in the MIB) And that is why I would like to send the CONTACT to be able to present it on the Alarm Inst. WEB page so the NOC knows where to send any questions too as we have different TEAM's that manages different hostgroups We are also doing HEARTBEAT functionality so that TEMIP gets an alarm if the NAGIOS processes are not running on the box, but that is another story. Is there a better way of doing this with Nagios V2? I have seen some references to a NAGIOS MIB for V2, but haven't looked any closer. Would the notification be sufficient to trig the above mentioned states? We have around 600 devices around the world that we monitor from 3 different NAGIOS thats uses my stuff to send all alarms to 1 central TEMIP. Any suggestions? Appreciate any input.

Something like... > > There's probably 100 ways to skin this cat. The way we've done these sorts of setups in v1.x (and again when we upgraded to v2) are along the lines of... * A host definition for each _physical_ cluster node (eg ahost01a, ahost01b...). * Add the usual suspects for service checks to each _physical_ (eg local disk, cpu, memory, swap...). * A host definition for the _virtual_ node(s) in the cluster (eg ahost01-print, ahost01-file...). * Add the clustered service checks to the _virtuals_, including a check_cluster one as well (eg only the disks and service checks that relate to that clustered service). This would only work if you have a separate service IP for each of the _virtuals_, and the host names in all cases would depend on how you name your hosts. We name our cluster nodes with the node suffix for this reason (ahost01a and ahost01b are part of a cluster, virtually, called ahost01). The above gets messy when you have, say, 10 services on a 2 node cluster. You end up with 12 host defs, most of which have a single service. A variant is to have a pseudo-virtual node for the entire cluster (eg, physicals ahost01a and ahost01b, and virtual ahost01), and add the clustered services to that virtual. Thus you have only 3 host definitions. The down side is you will need to tweak the command defs as most use $HOSTNAME$ etc for the IP, and this wouldnt necessarily be valid if you have a unique IP for each service the cluster is providing. I guess it depends on how you expect things to appear (that is, what makes more sense in the mind of those who monitor your Nagios instance). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Major changes are: - Added "Nagios Plugins" style performance data. - Added compile time option "--without-rrd". - Replaced non-portable functions (asprintf(), basename()). - Improved configure output. For known issues with RRDTool please visit http://snmp4nagios.sourceforge.net/requirements.html 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 (now optionally). 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.

I'm willing to import it, so long as it'd work on our Cingular GSM network. I'm fairly confident in my ability to convince our Cingular rep to let us put one of their SIM cards in it, etc. Cheers, D -- Derek J.

Good info. For what it's worth, if you look back a couple days in the list, I've done up some rpm tutorials for nagios using dag's repo package.

I don't use urlize to generate this, but instead I programmed my plugin to output this way. In de webinterface of nagios this tells me the status of the service. When clicking on the pluginoutput a page is generated with graphs etc,.... It's all working well within Nagios. But I'm having difficulties with the WAP/WML pages generated by Nagios for this service on my PDA and with the WML plugin for Firefox. It complains with an error like this: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: resource://gre/res/hiddenWindow.html Line Number 12, Column 84: Info:Pressure is 12 bar. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------^ It seems to indicate that the "=" is a problem? How can I solve or circumvent this problem? Wouldn't it be sensefull that nagios filters out the html tags from the serviceoutput when generating the wap pages? I can't drop this feature because it's needed for my pusposes. Tips, advice and comments are welcome! thanks in advance Jelle ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I've installed and set-up as per instructions and its running fine except for all the UNIX check commands that use check_nrpe.

System Details: Nagios Server: Fedora Core 4 Nagios v1.2 Plugins v1.30 NRPE v1.8 Monitored Servers: Solaris 8, 9 and RHEL3. Plugins - NetSaint v 1.2.9-4 (also tried v1.3 and 1.4) NRPE v1.5 (also tried v1.8 and v2.4)) I still have the old Nagios server running and the above configuration works fine for all services - Windows, linux and Unix. Pre Flight check shows no errors or warnings. I am running the same configuration on the new server as the old so I just tarred the ETC config files. Checked file permission's are OK. libexec files are executable. Check-ping works fine and interestingly so does check_http, check_dns and check_ftp on my RHEL server. As well there are no problems checking Windows services using check_nt_... The only problem is with the check_nrpe on UNIX. This is my config for zombie process, as an example. All check_nrpe processes give the same error. checkcommands.cfg define command { command_name check_local_procs command_line $USER1$/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$ } services.cfg define service { use generic-service host_name mercury service_description Zombie Processes contact_groups sysadmins check_command check_nrpe!check_zombie_procs } nrpe.cfg command on monitored server.. command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs 5 10 Z I've been hacking around for a week now, re-compiling trying different combos of NRPE and plugins.

Probably not. The problem was that you had 2 check_local_disk command definitions and the same for check-host-alive. You can't have two command definitions with the same command_name (nagios wouldn't be able to tell them apart). If the command definitions are identical then it's no big deal to comment one of the duplicates out. If they're different, and you intend to use both versions then you'll need to change the command_name's so that they're unique. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

For a standard source-based install, nagios puts everything except the init script in /usr/local/nagios. If installed via rpm, rpm -e should remove all parts of nagios. If it was installed in a non-standard location only you could know what that was. What parts are you seeing to make you think there are pieces left around? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

You do still need to be on the same broadcast network as your DHCP server though.

Are there any certifications or plans to develop certification tracks for Nagios engineers? I have been working with Nagios for about a year and have set up several single servers and one multi server distributed system. Work is offering to let me spend some money on training courses so I thought it would be good to learn some more Nagios (or at least get out of the office for a week or two) but have found very little on line about it.

I'd say it depends on the system you're using. Ideally you should use or make use of the packaging style for your OS, be it solaris, debian, rhel etc. As previously pointed out, it's admin specific, but I'd amend that to say it should follow the style consistent with other packages on the OS. -- "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 xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Service x has contacts oncall and admins specified in its service definition. In its escalation, service x will notify oncall for notification number 2 and oncall and backup for notifications 3 through 5. If service x goes to a WARNING status and notifies oncall and admins, but then remains in the WARNING status for several days before moving to the CRITICAL status, the notification number is not reset and Nagios will therefore page oncall once about the CRITICAL status and then oncall and backup will each receive 3 more notifications. Is there a way to reset the notification number whenever the state changes? Or is there a way I can compensate for this behavior of Nagios? Thanks.

What puzzles me is that all my check commands are working fine on old Nagios server which is running on Solaris 9 box. The only difference that I can think of is that the new server is Fedora Core 4. Maybe their is a compatability issue because I compiled the check commands with wrong libraries..??? Also made sure the use external commands switch was enable at compile time. I don't know...I'm just about ready to scrap the lot and biuld another solaris server. At least I know it will work with my current ETC config files.

In general on mailinglist this section applies to unanswered questions: As most questions get sone sort of reply it just does not mean every question gets answered by someone. Resending a question within a day is not the way to go. Give it a week and rephrase a question if there is no reply to a question. And always considere that your particular question might just not have the easy answer you are looking for. If you are in a hurry: hire someone to do the job. Just do not push a free support mechanisme like this mailinglist to the point where regular posters of answers get annoyed and go away because they have had it with all the pushing and resends on the list.

You would need to have a unique service definition for each and a way to distinguish them to get close to the above. As far as nagios is concerned, 1 service definition == 1 service and there is no concept of multiple 'flavors' of that service outside of the volatility technique that you are already implementing. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Stop. 'make commandmode' is invalid and seems to have been a typo in this e-mail. 'make install-commandmode' _is_ a valid command. Are you sure you did it from the root of the compiled source tree?

I would recommend just running 'make install-config' from the compiled source tree -- 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.

I have a need to test notifications on a monthly basis. We have sections of our network that are very quiet; thusly we do not see any alerts from these sites.

It seems crude to me to perform this function in order to get a "test" notification. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Is this something that could be in 3.0?

I'm assuming that the 'nagios.cfg' file is referring to the 'Plugins' section with: cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg line. I'm confused.

I don't recall if I changed this or not, but I have the output set to summarize the number of instances matches, and alert based on that value, so the check becomes effectively "this many alerts over this timeperiod". IMO this plugin is really only useful for this method. Extending this in perl to foreach over the search pattern, and generate an alert directly (via the CGI/command file) instead of having the return value return state and Nagios generate the alert directly... is simple (if unorthodox). That's one way I can think of off hand that would let you fire the check at scheduled time intervals, and still have a single alert generated for _each_ entry in the log since the last check. At the same time, it'd be smaller/faster to just use a diff since the last check, vs the entire file (gets bloated/slow with a huge number of hosts, esp. if they go log-happy). /eli Julien Ford wrote: > Hello, > > I'm monitoring a log file with the check_log plugin. > > The plugin tries to find patterns in the log file and > if it finds, sends an alert to the nagios server.

Is this the only place where I can define hosts to be monitored by Nagios? I can ping the host below but cannot monitor it even when I use a fully qualified DNS name for this host. Currently, my host file looks like this: define host { use host-template host_name 192.168.0.2 alias 192.168.0.2 address 192.168.0.2 } define service { use service-http host_name 192.168.0.2 } I have also tried: define host { use host-template host_name dns.fmr.com alias dns.fmr.com address dns.fmr.com } define service { use service-http host_name dns.fmr.com } Do you see any config problems?

Thanks. Beyond Hugo van der Kooij's response, current versions of Nagios only accept a single line of output from plugins up to 348 characters. That line can be
formatted to emulate multiline output in the GUI though.

So, before I delve into hacking this functionality into check_by_ssh, does anyone have a solution with existing tools? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm not a big escalation buff though. I have a question that I couldn't answer via that docs. Is there any other way of matching up a serviceescalation definition with a service definition other than the service_description value? I use that field for a verbose description of my services (not just SMTP, HTTP, etc). For example I use check_snmp_int to check the state of a serial interface on a router. The service_description field includes the circuit provider's name, circuit ID, support telephone #, and a description of the circuit. All that text is what's used to match the serviceescalation definition to the service definition. I don't know what else we could match on but I'm hopeful that there's something else.

These control the maximum amount of time allowed for each type of action. Bear in mind that each plugin typically has its own timeout value as well. You can see what those are and how to change them by running 'plugin_name --help' and modifying the command definitions that call that plugin appropriately. Finally, you can run '/path/to/nagios -s /path/to/nagios.cfg' to get information about scheduling and recommendations for some settings. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Yes, you're missing a check_command for this host. That is required for the behavior you want and with your config above the host itself is never checked. If you're using the sample config files as a base, there is a command definition named check-host-alive that you can use. check_command check-host-alive I would also set max_check_attempts to 1 or 2. You don't need more than that to determine if the host is down and you want host checks to finish as quickly as possible. _All_ other activity stops while hosts are being checked. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Did you set up a default community file? Try snmpwalk -v 2c -c `cat $HOME/.snmp4nagios/community` \ localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.1 This should return some information about localhost. Otherwise there is likely a problem with either the SNMP agent at localhost or the way communities are configured in SNMP4Nagios.

I don't want to actually log in, I just want to see that I'm prompted for the username with the correct hostname.

You can not check an unmanaged switch. It is that simple. ("You can't change the laws of physics captain") The closest you can get is to verify if the interface from the firewall is up and let the firewall be the parent of servers.

Looks like a problem with SNMP generally. Did you set up a default community file? Try snmpwalk -v 2c -c `cat $HOME/.snmp4nagios/community` \ localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.1 Unless this returns some information about localhost, there is likely a problem with either the snmp agent @ localhost or the way communities are configured in SNMP4Nagios. Run with -v -v -v and check the log (/var/log/messages usually) for the community the plugin uses. Concerning the "Nagios Plugins" Style output you describe below: Use the command line switch "-N" to get this (i.e. use something like ./check_if_by_snmp -R /opt/rrdtool/ \ -T -L -H localhost -i 2 -I eth0 -N Hope that helps, Peter ________________________________ Von: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net] Im Auftrag von Mrutyunjaya Dash Gesendet: Mittwoch, 15.

Message-ID: <200603161351.34096.martin@andorinha.ist.utl.pt> Hello everyone, I have a problem with host and service escalations in Nagios 2.0. I have upgraded to Nagios 2.0 when I tried to use escalations and thought there was a bug in Nagios 1.2. I'm going to describe the problem: I'd like to escalate the notifications to send only once an SMS about an HOST or SERVICE DOWN, but still have the e-mails being sent periodically. To get things even more complicated I would like that, in some cases, the SMS to sent only in the nightly hours. For start I have built a config using only 24x7 time periods. This way I prepared the following config: (See the results after this sample config) -- start of sample config -- # 'sms-host' host group definition define hostgroup { hostgroup_name sms-host alias SMS Hosts members testhost } define host { host_name testhost alias testhost address 1.2.3.4 check_command check-host-alive active_checks_enabled 1 checks_enabled 1 max_check_attempts 3 check_interval 5 notification_interval 5 contact_groups testhost-email-contacts,testhost-sms-contacts } # Send the first notification to the SMS-Contacts (only when DOWN) define hostescalation { host_name testhost contact_groups testhost-sms-contacts first_notification 1 last_notification 1 notification_interval 5 escalation_period 24x7 escalation_options d } # Send notifications to e-mail contacts periodically since the beginning # of the problem until RECOVERY. define hostescalation { host_name testhost contact_groups testhost-email-contacts first_notification 1 last_notification 0 notification_interval 5 escalation_period 24x7 escalation_options d,u,r } # For the service let's try a different approach # The first notification will use service default "contact_groups" define service { host_name testhost service_description SSH check_command check_ssh max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 check_period 24x7 notification_interval 5 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r contact_groups testhost-email-contacts,testhost-sms-contacts } # The rest of notifications send only to email contacts define serviceescalation { host_name testhost service_description SSH first_notification 2 last_notification 0 notification_interval 5 contact_groups testhost-email-contacts } -- end of sample config -- The Results: For the host config, Nagios doesn't send any notification at all no matter the host status is (DOWN, UNREACHABLE or RECOVERY)! For the service config it sends the first notification to both e-mail and sms contacts and rest of notifications only to e-mail contacts. The service config approach almost does what I need, but doesn't let change the timeperiod of the first notification for the sms contacts without affecting the e-mail contacts too. Of course the notification intervals are short for test purposes only. The problem: Why Nagios doesn't send any notification at all with sample host config? What am I doing wrong? Is there a global variable config that I have missed in documentation that could change escalations behaviour? I have read several times this explanation about escalation and I can't reproduce the same behaviour the document states: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/escalations.html Thanks in advance for the help!

You can not check an unmanaged switch. It is that simple.

The first thing I would do is add " 2>&1" to the end of your command definition in nrpe.cfg.

It's designed to execute Nagios plugins on remote hosts and simply acts as a proxy for the plugin return code and output. As such, the command you are running must comply with the plugin output standards in order to work correctly with check_by_ssh and Nagios -- http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#PLUGOUTPUT You'll need to pay special attention to exiting with the correct exit code and only 1 line of output (you've got the latter covered). That might change your approach some and negate the need to troubleshoot further. I suspect that you might be encountering a permissions problem related to /usr/local/ACE/VERSION or an environment issue where 'head' isn't in the default path. Try specifying the full path to head. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

When a host/service doesn't have any escalation defined it uses the "contact_groups" defined inside its host/service object definition. So, my tip to you is to add a "contact_groups" entry in every host object definition.

Yes, they're included in the sample config files that you can optionally install at compile time (make install-config). If you don't want to install the sample configs (and they're good examples), you can find the command definitions for these in /path/to/src/nagios-2.0/sample-config/template-object/miscommands.cfg (_not_ miscommands.cfg.in). For hosts - host-notify-by-email host-notify-by-epager For services - notify-by-email notify-by-epager > OK, so if I need to build my own commands do those definitions go in the > 'contacts.cfg' ? > ... or would those commands go in a 'commands.cfg' file ? Generally they'd go in commands.cfg but in reality they can go in any file you define as a cfg_file in nagios.cfg. It's up to you whether you have a single, few or hundreds of cfg_files and how they're organized. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Message-ID: <20060316223329.GA7653@mini.alaya.net> I am using the CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL so that if a state of CRITICAL HARD exists longer than the time period covered by retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts nagios will still continue checking the service at an increased interval until it returns to OK. The essence of my external check command, based on the example in the nagios documentation, is: #!/bin/sh OK) now=`date +%s` commandfile='/mnt/ha0/tmon/var/rw/nagios.cmd' printf "[%lu] CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;$4;$5;90\n" $now > $comm andfile ;; WARNING) ;; UNKNOWN) ;; CRITICAL) case "$2" in SOFT) # now=`date +%s` # commandfile='/mnt/ha0/tmon/var/rw/nagios.cmd' # printf "[%lu] CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;'$4';$5;15\n" $now > $comm andfile ;; HARD) now=`date +%s` commandfile='/mnt/ha0/tmon/var/rw/nagios.cmd' printf "[%lu] CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;$4;$5;15\n" $now > $commandfile # echo "[%lu] CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;$4;$5;15\n" $now $commandfile >> /tmp/args.txt ;; esac ;; esac exit 0 I see after max_check_attempts that state to go CRITICAL HARD for the service and then it runs the event_handler which runs the external command: [1142543941] EXTERNAL COMMAND: CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;test_host;test.html;15 this should set the check_interval to 15 seconds in stead of the default 90 seconds. However, watching the log I see that the checks on the service revert to 90 s. I cannot find ANY documentation nor mention of this command, CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL, anywhere on the users or dev mailing lists, via google, or anywhere else except here: http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=110 At this point I know the command is being run but for whatever reason it appears to not be working.

Try running the check_command, as the nagios user, exactly as it's defined, from the command line and then 'echo $?'. The results of the echo for a down host should be '2'. Chances are you're going to see some additional error output from ping/check_ping. There was also a suggestion earlier for another issue to add '2>&1' to the end of the check_command definition to redirect error output back to Nagios. If that works as advertised, and I believe it will, that could be informative as well. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

This device's sole purpose would be to provide reliable monitorable status through the switch (ie via ping, embedded web server, etc). Such a device would need to be more reliable than the switch, otherwise you're not monitoring the switch for failure, you're monitoring the IP device for failure. For suggestions of very small IP devices for this purpose, see this discussion: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/07/2111240 2) Monitor link status of some device connected to the switch. Again, this device is standing in for the switch, so you're actually monitoring the connected device, it's ethernet cable, it's ethernet card, and only that one particular switch port. 3) Create a cluster object (ie. check_cluster) that's tied to numerous hosts behind the switch. If all those hosts are out at the same time, then your cluster object would signal a problem, most likely the switch, but it could be your whole computer room went down too. > -----Original Message----- > From: dick at uchicago.edu [mailto:dick at uchicago.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 4:20 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] switch host definition: no IP > > > i want some advice on if and how i should add an IP-less > switch into my host > definitions. the templates i've found for switches always > have an IP associated > with them, like so: > > define host{ > use generic-host > host_name switch1 > alias Switch #1 > address 192.168.1.230 > check_command check-host-alive > max_check_attempts 10 > notification_interval 60 > notification_period 24x7 > notification_options d,u,r > contact_groups switch-admins > } > > but my switches do not have an IP associated with them, being > setup thusly: > > (firewall)---(switch1)----(mailserver) > 10.9.0.1 | 10.9.0.3 > | > (wifi AP) > 10.9.0.2 > > in this case, would i want to make a host named switch1 and > have it be the > parent of the mailserver and wifi AP machines, or should i > omit the switch1 host > and have firewall be the parent of the two machines behind switch1? > > i would like to be able to detect if the switch has burned > out, not just that > the hosts are both down. perhaps my switch is too crappy? > > thx for reading. > > cheers, > jake > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking > scripting language > that extends applications into web and mobile media.

At the very least it looks like a case statement got chopped off at the top. Also you have a lot of redundant code there.

What you showed above is the log entry and not what is sent to the command file right? >this should set the check_interval to 15 seconds instead >of the default 90 seconds. However, watching the log I see >that the checks on the service revert to 90 s. What are you seeing in the log that makes you think it's getting reset? If I use: echo "[`date +%s`] CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;tigris;DiskBackupMountCheck;3" to change the check interval to three minutes, and direct it to the command pipe, I see it take effect and stay in effect. Looking at the Event Log in the web interface shows: [03-16-2006 22:54:25] EXTERNAL COMMAND: CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;tigris;DiskBackupMountCheck;3 No other CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL commands occur. If you are seeing another command reset it, maybe something is wacky in the event handler. After the command, /var/log/nagios/retention.dat and /var/log/nagios/object.cache both show: normal_check_interval 3 for the service just as expected. It is normally set to 60 minutes in the configuration files. When you change the check interval, it doesn't force a reschedule of the service with the new interval. I rescheduled from the web interface, but I suspect that a "SCHEDULE_FORCED_HOST_CHECK" command would also do the trick. Then I saw the 3 minute reschedule take effect and stay in effect. >I cannot find ANY documentation nor mention of this command, >CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL, anywhere on the users or dev >mailing lists, via google, or anywhere else except here: > >http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=110 That's the only place I have found it.

Another hack on the cluster object is to use the check_host mode of check_icmp. Create a link to check_icmp called check_host. Use the command: check_host 10.9.0.2 10.9.0.3 as the check_host command for switch1 (and possibly a check_ping service command for switch1). As long as one of the IP addresses to check_host responds, it will returns an ok state. So the switch will be found down only if both the 0.2 and 0.3 hosts are down. Needless to say this works best is 0.2 and 0.3 are on separate power systems/UPS legs so that a power failure doesn't make it look like the switch went down. However if you plug all three devices into the same power plug then it works right. Dick, does switch1 have a serial console that is network accessible (via a terminal server for example) that you could use to probe the switch? Using an expect script to drive an interaction with the switch can also be used as a "ping" operation. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I re-wrote my entire config tree with templates at one point, only to find it was wasted effort (in my situation) as I have large numbers of hosts/services all relying on others within the same host, not a single point elsewhere... so they aren't expressible that way.

Message-ID: Dear Folks, I am writing to say that Nagios::Report 0.002 has been 'released' and is available at the usual places. This relase fixes a bug, and adds limited charting capability and a weaker alternate interface (provided by the Perl DBD::AnyData module) that allows client code to select the report data with SQL (the small subset that AnyData accepts). 0.002 Fri Mar 17 14:44:36 EST 2006 - fix bug in mkreport() processing of MUNGE_CALLBACK (would not change report values). *** This entailed a change _non_ backward compatible change in the MUNGE_CALLBACK interface. *** Client code that calls the alter->() callback _requires_ changing. *** The alter callback is now called with one parm, a ref to a hash of the field values *** indexed by field name. See examples/ for scripts that have been changed. - added to_dbh() method to allow DBD::AnyData provided use of SQL (simple) on report data - added primitive support for chart templates to excel_dump. The workbook written by Spreadsheet::WriteExcel can contain _one_ (1) chart of the availability data. This project does not scale very well. It provides a limited capability to provide a Data source for processing by Reporting tools such as Excel. This module has probably reached the end of development (some may say it would better have not started) apart from bug fixes. If you are serious about reporting look at the DB NEB modules or Steve Shipways stuff on NagiosExchange. This module provides however, a limited capacity to provide reports in the format beloved by PHBs. Yours sincerely. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

If you wanted to have the interval between 4 and 6 be something other than 90 seconds you have to generate a SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK for the date "now + 15 seconds" at line 5 in addition to the change in check interval. >> echo "[`date +%s`] CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;tigris;DiskBackupMountCheck;3" Printf is POSIX standard, but both my command and the printf produce the same output.

Right. The new schedule won't take effect until the currently scheduled poll is run at the original scheduling interval AFAICT. If you want the new interval to take affect immediately you need to force it with a SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK command. >> Also I am using nagios 2.0rc1, so YMMV. >nagios 2.0b3 here. > >thanks much for your help. i will mess around with the command a bit >and if i can get it to work. Good luck. I'd be interested in seeing what finally works. Also you should check the nagios 2.0 release notes between 2.0b3 and 2.0rc1 and see if there is a reference to this problem. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

If you don't understand why they > produce the same output, read the man pages and get a book on shell > programming. the issue isn't with the use of printf or echo, but rather the strings which they are printing. also, i know what shell substitution is but am not familiar with the expression [%lu] and had no idea that was equivalent to the output of `date +%s`. what is confusing about your example is that you seem to omit the trailing `date +%s` at the end of your command, as opposed to the provided example: now=`date +%s` commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' /bin/printf "[%lu] CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;host1;service1;15\n" $now > $commandfile the $now preceeding the redirection to the command file being equivalent to the string returned by `date +%s` this cannonical example is a bit confusing then: why does it have the date at the beginning, i.e. the first [%lu], and then again at the end with $now ? you seem to omit the second date from your command although in your example you also don't echo a newline nor show the redirect which that part I at least assume. > > Right.

If you installed from source, it should be there. If you are using a RedHat based system and only installed net-snmp, you just have the daemons. The net-snmp-utils package has the user utilities. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

The check_ping is seg faulting with an error code of 139 ./check_ping -H csep0602 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60% ; echo $? Segmentation fault 139 Which is resulting in a host up message. Do you have any idea why this would occur on a seemingly random basis? I also manually ran the command for other servers, which also resulted in the same output.

I've had this happen when the nagios parent process dies, and logs to nagios.log to this effect "[1139362901] Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down... ". I was getting these very frequently when I went above some apparent host/service threshhold (went away when I removed about 128 nodes at one point recently). In these cases the CGI's still respond for some reason, which seemed inappropriate... I've also seen the same symptom, but without a well-advertised nagios failure, where the process is still present in memory but checks aren't executed and the CGI's are functional. The third related (and my current bane...) issue is where MOST all checks occur, but some (sometimes large) groups of unrelated actions no longer occur. Host/service checks as a whole seem to be working, but I'll notice that I haven't gotten an alert for something that failed, and then see that whole class of service checks on one hostgroup aren't running anymore... and then start to see the same issue with other checks/actions as well. I'd sure love to just have nagios start working again, as I'm strongly against having to write an external framework for checking various parts of Nagios and alerrt me when it's broken! Alternately, I've always kept up to date on other OS monitor/alert frameworks and still nothing is as extensible as Nagios is (yet). /eli Terry wrote: > In just looking at the logs, the status.log is being continuously > updated as normal but when checks stop, the nagios.log stops gathering > entries as well. > > On 3/17/06, Eli Stair wrote: > >>I've been seeing this continuously in 2.0beta/rc/releases.

Message-ID: I have noticed with Nagios 1.3 and earlier, in "Host Detail" if a host is not checked because its services are all up, "Host assumed to be up" is shown. Now with Nagios 2.0, it shows the last check, and lots of those check dates can of course get to be very old. My Nagios users who watch this page are nervous at seeing such an old last check. I need to do one of the following: 1. Restore the old behavior of masking that date if the host is still up and we know this by virtue of the service checks being successful. This may be perhaps done by putting the last successful service check date in that field? 2. Make Nagios check the hosts anyway even if all of the services are working so that date increments. Any ideas? -- Mark Hennessy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Huge inconsistencies. After all is said and done, all I see in the process list ever are check_ping's for ONLY hosts in 1 hostgroup. Weird.

As long as one of the files (forget which one maybe object.dat) exists. The cgi's don't know that nagios has died. The startup rc script clears out the the files when it is shut down so a crash on restart should prevent the CGI's from running but that's it. I modified my version of the script to delete the files before it starts the daemon so a nagios or system crash followed by a "nagios start" (without a "nagios stop") followed by a crash will cause the CGI commands to error out. I tried to create some patches for the cgi's that required the datestamp in the file to be "current", but there is no standard interval for the file to be refreshed. It depends on the polling intervals of services etc so I gave up on that. You can find my ideas in the ML archives if you want. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Dear Folks, I am writing to say that Nagios::Report 0.002 has been 'released' and is available at the usual places. This relase fixes a bug, and adds limited charting capability and a weaker alternate interface (provided by the Perl DBD::AnyData module) that allows client code to select the report data with SQL (the small subset that AnyData accepts). 0.002 Fri Mar 17 14:44:36 EST 2006 - fix bug in mkreport() processing of MUNGE_CALLBACK (would not change report values). *** This entailed a change _non_ backward compatible change in the MUNGE_CALLBACK interface. *** Client code that calls the alter->() callback _requires_ changing. *** The alter callback is now called with one parm, a ref to a hash of the field values *** indexed by field name.

The workbook written by Spreadsheet::WriteExcel can contain _one_ (1) chart of the availability data. This project does not scale very well.

Right. The new schedule won't take effect until the currently scheduled poll is run at the original scheduling interval AFAICT.

Good luck. I'd be interested in seeing what finally works. Also you should check the nagios 2.0 release notes between 2.0b3 and 2.0rc1 and see if there is a reference to this problem. -- rouilj John Rouillard ======================================================================== === My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 23:04:29 -0800 From: prosolutions at gmx.net To: rouilj at ieee.org Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] where to get help with ext. cmd CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL ?

The plugin/= command you are using to check the host is providing no
command line out= put but is still exiting with a code of 0 (successful).
Try running the = check_command, as the nagios user, exactly as it's
defined, from the command line and then 'echo $?'. The results of theecho for a down host should be '2'. Chances are you're going to see some<= br>additional error output from ping/check_ping.

There was also a su= ggestion earlier for another issue to add '2>&1' to
the end of the check_command definition to redirect error output back t= o
Nagios. If that works as advertised, and I believe it will, that could=
be informative as well.

Marc,
indeed there are oth= er issues here.
The check_ping is seg faulting with an error code of 139

./check= _ping -H csep0602 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60% ; echo $?
Segmentation fault=
139

Which is resulting in a host up message. 
Do you ha= ve any idea why this would occur on a seemingly random basis?  I also = manually ran the command for other servers, which also resulted in the same= output.

Thanks
Mike

I've had this happen when the nagios parent process dies, and logs to nagios.log to this effect "[1139362901] Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down... ". I was getting these very frequently when I went above some apparent host/service threshhold (went away when I removed about 128 nodes at one point recently). In these cases the CGI's still respond for some reason, which seemed inappropriate... I've also seen the same symptom, but without a well-advertised nagios failure, where the process is still present in memory but checks aren't executed and the CGI's are functional. The third related (and my current bane...) issue is where MOST all checks occur, but some (sometimes large) groups of unrelated actions no longer occur. Host/service checks as a whole seem to be working, but I'll notice that I haven't gotten an alert for something that failed, and then see that whole class of service checks on one hostgroup aren't running anymore... and then start to see the same issue with other checks/actions as well. I'd sure love to just have nagios start working again, as I'm strongly against having to write an external framework for checking various parts of Nagios and alerrt me when it's broken! Alternately, I've always kept up to date on other OS monitor/alert frameworks and still nothing is as extensible as Nagios is (yet). /eli Terry wrote: > In just looking at the logs, the status.log is being continuously > updated as normal but when checks stop, the nagios.log stops gathering > entries as well. > > On 3/17/06, Eli Stair wrote: > >>I've been seeing this continuously in 2.0beta/rc/releases.

I have noticed with Nagios 1.3 and earlier, in "Host Detail" if a host = is not checked because its services are all up, "Host assumed to be up" is = shown. Now with Nagios 2.0, it shows the last check, and lots of those check = dates can of course get to be very old. My Nagios users who watch this page are nervous at seeing such an old = last check. I need to do one of the following: 1. Restore the old behavior of masking that date if the host is still up = and we know this by virtue of the service checks being successful. This may = be perhaps done by putting the last successful service check date in that = field? 2. Make Nagios check the hosts anyway even if all of the services are = working so that date increments. Any ideas? -- Mark Hennessy --__--__-- Message: 21 Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 13:39:59 -0600 From: Terry To: "Eli Stair" Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] 2.0 stable stops checking Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net No, not all checks.

If you're hesitant you may want to start up another instance of Nagios in parallel for testing it and such. That's sane, but I've proven to myself enough that this is always the case (in _my_ _current_ instance) and just have to do it on the production system when I catch it. I'm real curious to find out if this is the same exact issue/resolution that works for you as well. /eli Terry wrote: > No, not all checks.

Perfparse is pretty limiting in what it will accept. We have written parsing scripts to attempt to format the data before perfparse pulls it into mysql. http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=6#q7 My opinion is that the perfparse cgi works pretty well, but without our scripting hacks, half of the raw data never becomes binary data. I have noticed some work from groundwork http://www.itgroundwork.com, but have not been able to set this up in test environment yet.

Like you say it provides the kind of reports management likes and up until now it is the only way I have found to create biased reporting. What do I mean ? I mean I don't care about how many hours application or server xyz was down during the weekend. Those hours are of no importance to me in terms of management reports. The information and especially metrics outside of these hours need to be taken for administration purposes of course. But the weekend is used here for maintenance as is the case in many places. For my SLA's these hours should not be counted. Up until now your tool is the only tool I have found that can ignore data based on time-tables in its reports. So as far as I am concerned please keep up the good work. Question though .. DB NEB modules ?

I know I can integrate MRTG in some forms, but I would like to pull directly from the MySQL tables/columns, rather than using something like RRDTool, as I can get a better (longer) history using the MySQL database. This would make the distributed model work very well. If I look at the NDO tables, I see that there is a table called, NDO_SERVICECHECKS. It has few columns that I am using already, but I would like to have data in the "Perfdata" column. It could be that I am missing something here (It's not the first time ;-)) but I would think something like Perfparse would store data in this area, unless Nagios already has something that will put performance data in that area. PHP could generate graphs fairly easy, although I have not done much work like this myself; sample code is available in many places.

No output written to conftest This looks like thy mysqlclient library is not found, so either it is not installed, it is installed in a non-standard location, or your LD path isn't complete. In other words, make sure that ld searches for the library in the correct locations, i.e. the directories in the LD_OPTIONS or the standard system library paths. Might also be that you don't have the necssary include files, in that case make sure you have installed the mysql _development_ files, but the message seems to indicate that the includes were found.

Usually, you should see a reference to a mysqlclient or mysqlclient_r file, or at least the linker should be informed of the need for such a file. If you need the .a (library for static linking) or .so (dynamically shared object) variety is beyond my knowledge, but all four variants are available in your setup. I'd suggest to analyze the informative output about the linker and dynamic linker solaris can produce to make sure the paths you give are actually used. I notice that you have /opt/csw/lib/mysql and /opt/csw/mysql4/lib/mysql and ./configure searches in the first variant. Try the actual path, perhaps that works.

OTOH, if there are things that need fixing or facilities I think can be added, please let me know. The other thing is that the modules reason for existence is to provide an API for the only current source of availability data, namely avail.cgi. avail.cgi is complicated and may not be maintained as responsively as people may wish - I can't imagine submitting patches for it without a great deal of hard labour. If on the other hand, somehow (as you say with the NEBs) outage details can be stuffed by the core into an RDBMS, then people can use all sorts of wonderful software from the DB/report world to generate very sophisticated reports. In fact, when I heard about DBD::AnyData I thought this would blow the original API (of Nagios::Report) away because people would SELECT to their hearts content. As it turned out, the SQL implemented by the AnyData module is not as powerful as one would like and in fact is good for only basic filtering. So my feeling is that Nagios::Report is a stop gap for me until something better comes along. Another technique that I find useful is to have a Nag event handler insert outage details into a table. This in principal allows one to combine outages with (manual updates) with causes and commentary. >Question though ..

Have you actually DONE what this FAQ suggests? It says: "check_snmp returns a WARNING if the local net-snmp or ucd-snmp installation has MIB files with incorrect syntax." "Solutions: 1. Prevent check_snmp from loading the MIBs (default behaviour) by using numeric oids AND using the "-m :" option" Yet, none of your examples show you using "-m :" as an option. Have you tried actually adding "-m :" as an option like the FAQ says to do to see if the WARNING goes away, or if you get any different results? Show us. and "2. run the snmpget command on the command line, check which MIB files is the problem, and correct it" Here again, I don't see anywhere that you've actually tried to just directly run snmpget like the FAQ suggests, you're just running different variations of check_snmp. Show us what snmpget says. If you're going to read an FAQ, try actually using the information it presents. Now, if you've actually TRIED solutions 1 and 2, and neither has solved the problem (it's not clear that you have tried them, let alone that they haven't succeeded), there's a couple of other possibilities. > And this WIKI entry > http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Wiki_Home.wiki.0.html?&tx_drwiki_pi1[keywo > rd]=Dell%20OpenManage%20status%20OIDs > > I can query the server in a number of ways... > > command : ./check_snmp -H server -C foo -o > .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.200.10.1.9.1 -w 4:4 -c 5:6 > Result : SNMP WARNING - ok(3) > From this, it looks like you're trying to treat return values of 0-3 as "ok", 4 as "warning" and 5-6 as critical. Pay close attention to the output of "./check_snmp --help", especially this part: -w, --warning=INTEGER_RANGE(s) Range(s) which will not result in a WARNING status -c, --critical=INTEGER_RANGE(s) Range(s) which will not result in a CRITICAL status The "not" in these instructions is very important. With the above parameters, a 3 would fall outside both the Warning and Critical ranges, so you won't get an OK. You should, however, be getting a CRITICAL, since a CRITICAL overrides a WARNING. The fact that you're getting WARNING, suggests that you really DO have the problem mentioned in the FAQ and that you haven't actually corrected it through one of the two provided solutions. Anyway, the CORRECT syntax to accomplish what you want to accomplish is: ./check_snmp -H server -C foo -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.200.10.1.9.1 -w 0:3 -c 0:4 Or, you could do it as: ./check_snmp -H server -C foo -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.200.10.1.9.1 -w 6:4 -c 6:5 The second version will work because of how ranges work. Also from ./check_snmp --help: - Ranges are inclusive and are indicated with colons. When specified as 'min:max' a STATE_OK will be returned if the result is within the indicated range or is equal to the upper or lower bound. A non-OK state will be returned if the result is outside the specified range. - If specified in the order 'max:min' a non-OK state will be returned if the result is within the (inclusive) range. > How do I get this command to work, it really very fraustrating ? FIRST and FOREMOST, make sure your snmpget isn't throwing a MIB error. Actually DO what the FAQ says, SHOW that you've done it, and SHOW what the results were. > Am I missing something fundamental about this command ? > It appears that you missed the 'min:max' vs. 'max:min' thing on the ranges, but 1) that's a common oversight, and 2) it doesn't appear to be the real reason you're getting nothing but warnings. Hopefully that helps get you on the right track. -- James Noyes (jnoyes42 at retrogeeks.com) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

If I understand this correctly, this means that the NEB module can send data from Nagios to other Applications (a Data Base in this case). Am I right ? I have another question: Is it possible for other Applications to send data to Nagios using Event Broker ? for example, Will it be possible to configure Nagios using MySQL Tables and then inform to NEB module to apply changes on nagios configuration ? or to change the state of a service ?

I have set up a new server with Nagios 2.0 and Apache 2. Both are running, CGI and authorization are set up. When I access the web-interface I have been asked for authentication. I can enter user and password and get access, but nagios tells me always "Logged in as ?". So I cannot see anything. In the apache-log-files I can see, that I logged in successfully, but it seems, that nagios didn't get these information. Of cause, in cgi.cfg "use_authentication=1" is set, I have put a .htaccess file into /usr/local/nagios/share with the following content: AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users require valid-user The file /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users has been created with htpasswd2 and the users are in contacts.cfg If I enter a wrong user and/or password at the login I get an error message and if I cancel the login I get "Authentication required!" So far everything works as expected, except the nagios didn't recognize me :-( I've set up nagios (1.x) more than once, so I think I can handle that... BTW: the server runs SuSE Linux 10.0 with an apache2 from the distribution, nagios is compiled by myself from the tarball. Please, can someone help me to find the problem?

It works as a breeze, thanks developers. we also check several Oracle servers among other things. Couple of days ago i faced the situation when oracle listener was working but database instance was broken. The problem is that i don't have oracle client installed on nagios host, so i check only oracle host is alive and TCP port 1521 is open. Obviously this is not enough for Oracle checking. I don't have possibility to install oracle client on nagios host due to several reasons. So i look towards 2 schemes of monitoring: 1. to find some "light" oracle client (oh, i forgot to say, that oracle database is v.8, so 10g client doesn't work with it and 9i is _very_ big and it's installation on FreeBSD requires skills i don't have :-() it can be done with kylix and dbexpress through core lab oracle driver (i have such experience on linux), but this approach requires proprietary stuff i don't have and kylix doesn't work on FreeBSD. So is there some "light" oracle client or similar that can be used in shell scripts (like sqlplus), open (or free at least)? 2. to find any machine with oracle client installed and implement monitoring through nrpe (or nsclient++ that i use on windows machines) with shell scripting (or cygwin) or wscript or whatever. maybe some other way i don't see. Do you guys have any suggestions for my case? --- best regards Evgeny Stepanov ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

As far as I understand, a user can perform tasks on hosts and services that he is contact for, not hosts and services he can see. So, you could, for example, create a "read only" user using the following : - user reader is not contact for anything. In the cgi.cfg : - authorized_for_all_services=reader - authorized_for_all_hosts=reader With that, you would have an user who can see everything, but can't issue any command. But I might be wrong, if it is the case, please tell me :) Johan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

James, thanks for all this detailed explanation on check_snmp. I am using the plugin extensively, but I have a fundamental problem with it being designed to give an OK if checks for warning and critical ranges and are within that range. This has for me - and must for others - been the source of confusion and need for some brain strain. What do you suppose was the thinking with this approach? The man page says it best. -w, --warning=INTEGER_RANGE(s) Range(s) which will not result in a WARNING status Why not specify the *warning* range using the *warning* option that *WILL* produce a *warning*? It just seems all backwards. -- - Kyle --------------------------------------------- kylet at panix.com http://www.panix.com/~kylet --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

As far as I know this is the free space on the device /var/lib/mysql is running on. That can be monitored with check_disk or whatever. If you can restrict a mysql database to a certain amount of space there must be some sql command to get this info - and then you can use a shell script via ssh to check that.

It works as a breeze, thanks developers. we also check several Oracle servers among other things. Couple of days ago i faced the situation when oracle listener was working but database instance was broken. The problem is that i don't have oracle client installed on nagios host, so i check only oracle host is alive and TCP port 1521 is open. Obviously this is not enough for Oracle checking. I don't have possibility to install oracle client on nagios host due to several reasons. So i look towards 2 schemes of monitoring: 1. to find some "light" oracle client (oh, i forgot to say, that oracle database is v.8, so 10g client doesn't work with it and 9i is _very_ big and it's installation on FreeBSD requires skills i don't have :-() it can be done with kylix and dbexpress through core lab oracle driver (i have such experience on linux), but this approach requires proprietary stuff i don't have and kylix doesn't work on FreeBSD. So is there some "light" oracle client or similar that can be used in shell scripts (like sqlplus), open (or free at least)? 2. to find any machine with oracle client installed and implement monitoring through nrpe (or nsclient++ that i use on windows machines) with shell scripting (or cygwin) or wscript or whatever. maybe some other way i don't see.

I worked around these issues and set my self up for the future to be as flexible as needed by changing my notification command to be a local script I pass the macros to as arguments, so I can test values and conditions and do what I want. For instance, here's the original and new definitions from misccommands.cfg. # 'notify-by-email' command definition define command{ command_name notify-by-email # command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nHost Descripti on: $HOSTALIAS$\nIP Address: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "** Nagios alert ($NOTIFICATIONTYPE$) $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ command_line /usr/local/bin/nagios-notification "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$LONGDATE TIME$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$CONTACTEMAIL$" "$SERVICEACKAUTHOR$" "$SERVICEACKCOMMENT$" $USER3$ $USER4$ $USER5$ } And the the script /usr/local/bin/nagios-notification looks like this. In this instance, I've set it up for two actions I wanted - 1. to allow an SNMP-triggered action when I acknowledge a certain service issue, and 2. I don't want to go out for services that are stale from a downed host. I get mailed for the host, so that's enough. If just a service is stale, we'll catch that visually on the web pages.

Your example is right on and to be honest, I never think about the authorized_for_* settings in cgi.cfg. I haven't looked at or touched them in years myself. It's refreshing to be reminded of functionality I've forgotten about. I expect that this will be implemented better in the 3.0 front-end.

This is how we implement a "view all, change none" role in Opsview: http://opsview.com. We've provided a patch to Nagios 2.0 so that you can have the role "view some, change none" at http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2006/02/ a_view_some_cha.html, so you can specify which hosts/services a contact can see.

It just seems all backwards. Well, I'm much more a user than developer (although I did finally write my own Solaris Disksuite plugin out of frustration), and as many times as I thought about the reason for the min:max vs. max:min behavior, I never could come up with a plausible reason for doing it this particular way that seemed "obvious". About the only reasonable explanation I ever did come up with, and it's still pretty far-fetched, was that for a majority of SNMP OIDs that can be queried, the "OK" or "normal" condition is usually one result, while the "error" condition has many results, giving more detail about the error. So I just guessed that it made more sense to specify the "OK" results, rather than a much larger range of "not OK" results. Like I said - far-fetched, but it's really all I could come up with. -- James Noyes (jnoyes-nagios at retrogeeks.com) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Use_regexp_matching=1 will turn on regex for entries that contain a "*" or "?" only. Use_true_regex_matching=1 will turn it on completely, which while it sounds neat, will cause lots of headaches. Consider if you have a host named "mile", and another named "smiles". If you have true_regex on, you will never be able to only reference the host "mile" as every entry for it will match "smiles". (You would have to use "^mile$" to be safe) That's why is recommended to keep it off unless you really know what you are doing. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ivan Fetch [mailto:ifetch at du.edu] > Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 12:37 PM > To: Andrew Laden > Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Difficulty with wildcards in > serviceescalation > > Hello, > > Andrew, I wanted to thank you for your reply, and mention > that yes this does work as I wanted. > > I am curious what setting use_regexp_matching to 1, but > use_true_regexp_matching to 0 would bring to the table (given > that the docs apparently mis-state these options). > > > Thanks - Ivan. > On Tue, 21 Feb 2006, Andrew > Laden wrote: > > > There is a documentation error.

It keeps outputting on the screen Out of Memory errors which causes loss of access to the server. I can ping the box but I cannot SSH or web into it to view any information. This has been happening increasingly more lately. Now it is about every 2-3 days that this is occurring. We have been adding more and more devices to the servers and this problem has been increasing as this occurs. This is how I have it set up. I have a Main Nagios server that is running the latest 2.0 (stable) Nagios release. It is monitoring about 6800 devices but it is not actively checking the devices. Its main role is to provide a web interface and receive passive polls from three other servers which do the polling. The main server also does email notifications when a device goes down. The server sends about 30-40 emails a day. I am using NSCA 2.5 between the server and the client Nagios servers. I am only monitoring one service for each device which is either TCP or ping depending on the device. Mostly all devices are monitored with TCP (roughly 6000). The rest are monitored with ping. The individual servers are pretty evenly spread with the number of devices. They are about 2000-2500 each. All the servers are just basic computers, Dell Dimension 2400s with base hardware. The main server was upgraded to 2GB RAM while the other servers are running 512MB each. They are all running Celeron 2.4 GHz processors. The individual servers are not having out of memory problems and they are running the latest 2.0 (stable) release as well. They all run RedHat 9.0 with everything installed for the packages. Can someone please help me in resolving this problem? Thanks. The TOP process does not appear like it is running out of memory. This is the normal output when the server has been running for a few hours. 57 processes: 54 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 41.1% user 58.8% system 0.0% nice 0.0% iowait 0.0% idle Mem: 2063556k av, 285940k used, 1777616k free, 0k shrd, 41056k buff 177644k actv, 51688k in_d, 10892k in_c Swap: 1044184k av, 0k used, 1044184k free 114208k cached Here is a sample configuration that I have on the devices on the main server: hosts.cfg define host { name generic-host ; The name of this host template - referenced in other host definitions, used for template recursion/resolution notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications are enabled event_handler_enabled 0 ; Host event handler is enabled flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 720 notification_period 24x7 obsess_over_host 0 notification_options d,u,r,f register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!

Thanks Have you determined what process is using the memory? One of the first steps you should take is to set appropriate ulimits for memory utilization for that user so that it doesn't bring down the server. I would configure nagios to monitor memory on that server then use top or ps to identify the process(es) using the allocated memory when memory utilization is high. That will provide better direction for troubleshooting rather than simply that the machine is crashing due to memory exhaustion. The nagios deamon itself isn't going to be using a lot of RAM (10M on my box with 3400 passive services). My somewhat unfounded guess is that perhaps nagios isn't reaping the results from NSCA frequently enough so you're having a backlog of ncsa processes. Each process uses just a little memory but if you have thousands of them then it adds up. I've personally experienced this on a machine that was experiencing disk problems. If this is the case, beyond a hardware problem or capacity issue, I'd verify that your command_check_interval is set to -1 to make sure that nagios is checking the external command file as quickly as it can. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

It just seems all backwards. Well, I'm much more a user than developer (although I did finally write my own Solaris Disksuite plugin out of frustration), and as many times as I thought about the reason for the min:max vs. max:min behavior, I never could come up with a plausible reason for doing it this particular way that seemed "obvious". About the only reasonable explanation I ever did come up with, and it's still pretty far-fetched, was that for a majority of SNMP OIDs that can be queried, the "OK" or "normal" condition is usually one result, while the "error" condition has many results, giving more detail about the error. So I just guessed that it made more sense to specify the "OK" results, rather than a much larger range of "not OK" results. Like I said - far-fetched, but it's really all I could come up with. -- James Noyes (jnoyes-nagios at retrogeeks.com) --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Marco Borsani" To: "'Bill Jacqmein'" Cc: "'NAGIOS'" Subject: R: [Nagios-users] Check_ntp Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 10:02:27 +0100 Organization: ITnet I also tested plugins 1.4.2, but I received same error message Marco -}-----Messaggio originale----- -}Da: Bill Jacqmein [mailto:wrjacqmein at gmail.com]=20 -}Inviato: mercoled=EC 22 marzo 2006 17.34 -}A: Marco Borsani -}Cc: NAGIOS -}Oggetto: Re: [Nagios-users] Check_ntp -} -}upgrade to the latest version of the plugins at=20 -}http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/ -}barring that -}check that utils.pm is in the libexec directory. -} -} -}On 3/22/06, Marco Borsani wrote: -}> Hi all ! -}> -}> I'd to use check_ntp, but when I "try" to running it , I obtain: -}> # ./check_ntp -}> "use" not allowed in expression at ./check_ntp line 66, at=20 -}end of line=20 -}> syntax error at ./check_ntp line 66, near "libexec use utils " -}> Execution of ./check_ntp aborted due to compilation errors. -}> -}> I don't know perl :-( -}> -}> I am using plugins 1.3.1 and Nagios 1.3 (on a HP-UX 11.00 system). -}> -}> Regards -}> -}> Marco Borsani -}> Unix & Monitoring System Administrator Technical Operation -}> Tel. +39 010 4310115 -}> Fax +39 010 4327454 -}> E-mail: m.borsani at IT.net -}> -}> ITnet S.r.l. - Direzione e Coordinamento di WIND=20 -}Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. -}> Internet Service Provider -}> Sede legale: Via C.G.Viola, 48 - 00148 Roma -}> Dir.

You should check to make sure that lm_sensors package is really running.  Quite a number of machines don't support that package.  The program starts then quitely dies.  Example: Dell's don't support it at all. (or if I'm incorrect on that someone in the group correct me and then tell me how to make it work)  An IBM intellistation which I thought might, won't either.

try a ps -ef | grep sensors

Use_regexp_matching=1 will turn on regex for entries that contain a "*" or "?" only. Use_true_regex_matching=1 will turn it on completely, which while it sounds neat, will cause lots of headaches. Consider if you have a host named "mile", and another named "smiles". If you have true_regex on, you will never be able to only reference the host "mile" as every entry for it will match "smiles". (You would have to use "^mile$" to be safe) That's why is recommended to keep it off unless you really know what you are doing. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ivan Fetch [mailto:ifetch at du.edu] > Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 12:37 PM > To: Andrew Laden > Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Difficulty with wildcards in > serviceescalation > > Hello, > > Andrew, I wanted to thank you for your reply, and mention > that yes this does work as I wanted. > > I am curious what setting use_regexp_matching to 1, but > use_true_regexp_matching to 0 would bring to the table (given > that the docs apparently mis-state these options). > > > Thanks - Ivan. > On Tue, 21 Feb 2006, Andrew > Laden wrote: > > > There is a documentation error.

Thanks Have you determined what process is using the memory? One of the first steps you should take is to set appropriate ulimits for memory utilization for that user so that it doesn't bring down the server.

Since I have it as a dedicated Nagios system I would imagine it is Nagios that is causing a problem. This occurred when we had about 4000 devices but very seldom and it wasn't much of an issue then. Now that we almost have 7000 devices that are being monitored it is happening more frequently. Since this was the case I had assumed it was Nagios but didn't know how to go about fixing the problem. I do not know that much about Linux so I am not sure how to go about setting that up. How do I setup ulimits for memory utilization? What steps would I go about to monitor memory utilization for the Nagios server? I had checked the nagios.cfg file and I do have that setting at -1: command_check_interval=-1 I appreciate any help.

Thanks Have you determined what process is using the memory? One of the first steps you should take is to set appropriate ulimits for memory utilization for that user so that it doesn't bring down the server. I would configure nagios to monitor memory on that server then use top or ps to identify the process(es) using the allocated memory when memory utilization is high. That will provide better direction for troubleshooting rather than simply that the machine is crashing due to memory exhaustion. The nagios deamon itself isn't going to be using a lot of RAM (10M on my box with 3400 passive services). My somewhat unfounded guess is that perhaps nagios isn't reaping the results from NSCA frequently enough so you're having a backlog of ncsa processes.

As per the author I set the max attempt to 1 and the notify_recovery is 0, check_log3 retains the state and when a pattern match is found the state changes to critical/warning and a notification is sent and the state is retained. My question is, how will I reset the status to normal, from nagios, after the problem is fixed. Also can someone suggest me a better/effecient way of log monitoring with nagios, my requirements are, I want to monitor multiple search strings in the syslog and may want to send alerts for every time the pattern match is found or once in 2 hours (depends on the type of error). I can afford to use multiple probes if required. thanks Amal __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

If the plugin only looks at 'new' lines, then it'll automatically reset on the next probe, unless that probe too exhibits a problem. > want to monitor multiple search strings in the syslog > and may want to send alerts for every time the pattern > match is found or once in 2 hours (depends on the type > of error).

You might want to look at sending all your syslogs to a central server, and having Simple Event Correlator (http://freshmeat.net/projects/sec) send passive alerts in to Nagios about it. It is very good at handling X-matches-over-time and so on. -Jason Martin -- I lost a button hole today.

I think when snmptt is first installed, it imports all the default mibs, but if you add any new ones into /usr/share/snmp/mibs, you need to load it into SNMPTT as well. We evaluated Snmptt and this was our major issue with it. We've decided on a different approach where we leave snmptrapd to do the mib translations and have provided a CPAN module to help.

I was having problems with ?segmentation fault? using check_ping command, and I found some info on this list regarding that and suggesting to use check_icmp instead. Check_icmp is great it?s faster, and don?t consume much resources, but I?m having this problem: It works fine for some hours, but suddenly all hosts are reported as ?DOWN? with packet loss of 100% I get the net interface down with ifconfig, and then back up again, and nothing. I have to restart the server and then it works fine again. The hosts I?m monitoring are up, and if I use a normal ?ping? command to reach them, I get reply. Also if I use ?check_ping? from shell, I get PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 109.81 ms If I issue a ?check_icmp? from shell I get this: setsockopt failed Setting alarm timeout to 10 seconds packets: 5, targets: 1 target_interval: 0.000, pkt_interval 80.000 crit.rta: 500.000 max_completion_time: 3400.000 crit = {500000, 80%}, warn = {200000, 40%} pkt_interval: 80000 target_interval: 0 retry_interval: 0 icmp_pkt_size: 64 timeout: 10 handle_random_icmp(0x804ce74, 0xbfbfeb70) handle_random_icmp(0x804ce74, 0xbfbfeb70) handle_random_icmp(0x804ce74, 0xbfbfeb70) handle_random_icmp(0x804ce74, 0xbfbfeb70) time_passed: 437412 final_wait: 2962588 max_completion_time: 3400000 Waiting for 2962588 micro-seconds (2962.588 msecs) handle_random_icmp(0x804ce74, 0xbfbfeb70) handle_random_icmp(0x804ce74, 0xbfbfeb70) handle_random_icmp(0x804ce74, 0xbfbfeb70) handle_random_icmp(0x804ce74, 0xbfbfeb70) icmp_sent: 5 icmp_recv: 0 icmp_lost: 0 targets: 1 targets_alive: 1 CRITICAL - 168.234.205.12: rta nan, lost 100%| rta=0.000ms;200.000;500.000;0; pl=100%;40;80;; targets: 1, targets_alive: 0 Has anyone experienced the same problem. Any ideas suggestions ? If it helps: I?m using FreeBSD 6.0 Stable and installed nagios from ports. Thanks in advance for your help.

The plugin retains the state information and it stays in the same state " LOG FILE - No status change detected. Status=2" you can see from the output the the check didn't find any match but status =2 and it stays in critical. I guess I can remove the state retention and try.

Because the check_.* programs expect to be called in the path where all the plugins reside, usually /usr/local/nagios/libexec.

I'm quite sure that your script either can not be found in Nagios' search path, or that Nagios can't run it due to missing permissions.

PATH setting for Nagios, perhaps? And I don't mean the one you get as user nagios, I mean the one Nagios works with... Apart from that, for that sort of problem, it's a simple thing to write a small wrapper script which logs some diagnostic output - for example, path, id, shell and probably the Nagios-specific environment variables - and then submits the actual program calls with parameters. You might even log things like the output from 'which ' and '/bin/ls -l ' to see what actually happens...

Perhaps you could take a look into your configuration and see what you actually configured to be called, then see if that program is where you told Nagios to call it, and so on.

I have had nagios 2.0 running for a year now and it's been great. One thing that baffles me though is the availability reporting. We had 2 production outages the other day (one scheduled and one unscheduled). The scheduled one was about of about 37 minutes. The unscheduled one about 7-10 minutes a couple of hours later. This was after a few months of 100% uptime. When I created an availability report over the last 7 days I got these values. Report period : last 7 days Report time Period: 24x7 First Assumed Service State: Service OK OK Unscheduled 6d 23h 28m 37s 99.689% 99.689% Total 6d 23h 28m 37s 99.689% 99.689% CRITICAL Unscheduled 49710d 6h 22m 1s -0.062% -0.062% Scheduled 0d 0h 37m 38s 0.373% 0.373% Total 0d 0h 31m 23s 0.311% 0.311% Now the scheduled stuff seems about ok but the unscheduled stuff doesn't make sense. First of all negative percentages ?? Second, how can a box be down for 49710 days 6 hours and 22 mins in a 7 day period ? The actual downtime was about 10 minutes but I don't see that in the report at all. I did a test after with another box. I created 2 outages. 1. Unscheduled for about 15 mins 2. scheduled for about 8 mins The report I did after that looks much better: OK Unscheduled 6d 22h 43m 14s 99.238% 99.238% Scheduled 0d 0h 55m 22s 0.549% 0.549 Total 6d 23h 38m 36s 99.788% 99.788% CRITICAL Unscheduled 0d 0h 14m 21s 0.142% 0.142% Scheduled 0d 0h 7m 3s 0.070% 0.070% Total 0d 0h 21m 24s 0.212% 0.212% According to that the reporting seems fine but over a long period of time the reports seem to get funny as shown above. I'm sorry if this has been discussed endlessly. If so could someone point me to those threads please ? Thx -- stucky -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We noticed the problem increasingly after we installed perfparse, which attempts (poorly) to stop and restart the nagios process. The nagios process has to be running or the nsca instances will never get processed, and therefore stay in memory.

An acknowledgement is to acknowledge an event. Once the host/service is back up nagios consideres the event ended and if you go down again it is another event. Sounds to me you need to set a maintenance condition untill you are finished in order to prevent multiple events. Hugo -- I hate duplicates.

I have added the lines to the init script and I will monitor the server to see if it still occurs. I had also changed the max_concurrent_checks to 50 from 100 and changed service_reaper_frequency from 2 to 1. This was done on all servers. I also set process_performance_data from 1 to 0 to disable it from running in hopes to eliminate more processes. I was wondering will this process get executed when running the external command to reboot the server from the webpage. If it isn't is there anything I can change for it to do so? Also what type of computer should the main central server be running for 7000 devices (1 service each). We haven't added more devices to the Nagios server since the problem has been happening but we expect to add another 1000 once the problem is corrected and another 1000 or so throughout the rest of the year. I doubt the computer I had running now is adequate for the job so I would like to move it to a more powerful system. Currently I have a 2.4 Celeron PC with 2 GB of RAM running on the main server. What system should I get to properly handle this many devices? The individual servers are running the same thing and don't seem to have problems but should these be upgraded as well? I am planning on installing Fedora for the OS and had installed everything as a package with the current setup. To eliminate more processes can someone tell me what packages should I have installed to get Nagios, NSCA and Apache working properly without anything else. I am sure there might be a better flavor of Linux to run Nagios but we have already standarized using RedHat and Fedora for the OS. Thanks again for the information and hopefully this will resolve my problem.

You can find just about any interface there. Use snmpwalk to get the proper details. I check my IPv6 tunnel with: define service{ use generic-service host_name anfalas,InternetV6 service_description InternetV6 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 3s contact_groups admins check_command check_snmp_int!mycommunity!Tunnel0 } define command{ command_name check_snmp_int command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -n $ARG2$ } Using a new host with the address of your router has been described on the list before. Connecting the dots and such is left as an exercise to the reader. The script is taken from one of the contrib sites. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

Lets share knowledge. It is true, the problem can be in a newer perfparse version too. To explain the problem: If you compile nagios with --with-file-perfdata, then nagios opens at start the perfdata file and writes there. If the file gets too large and you try to delete it, then you won't see any change in disk usage. This is because nagios never closes the file and even if you delete it, nagios still has a reference to that file. So if you choose to use perfparse to read that file then perfparse can be configured to delete the file and restart nagios (send a restart signal) to avoid filling the disk with the perfdata file. This is very bad for performance if you run more than some 100 service checks. To avoid this, you should choose another method to get performance data to perfparse. You can get very good performance with the method "pipe to perfparse" and if you enable embedded perl in nagios. Here is a example configuration (nagios 2.0): In misccommands.cfg: define command{ command_name process-service-perfdata command_line /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl /usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$SERVICEPERFDATA$" } in nagios.cfg: process_performance_data=1 service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata in perfparse.cfg: Service_Log = "|/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log" Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path = "no" The (embedded) perl script writes to a pipe and the perfparsed daemon reads continously from that pipe. Make sure perfparsed is running! One problem here is, that perfparsed should be started before the service command generates the output file, because perfparsed wants to create a pipe. Therefore a perfparsed startscript should delete/move a stale outputfile. Send me a mail if you need a perfparsed startskript. Flo Stephen Barron schrieb: > We are using the current release v0.105.6.

At this moment we are recording a number of PureTest scripts to enable us to monitor advanced use cases when checking our web applications. The Nagios/PureTest integration works rather well. We have only one (in our perception) strange problem: When running the scripts as user NAGIOS we get all the necessary entries in the nagios.log file. When running the scripts from NAGIOS no entries are written to this file (but the status in the console is correct). Other http_checks do generate log-entries and the permissions seem OK. Your advice & comments are very much appreciated.

Currently every process/device that we check sends an individual send_nsca post to our central server. As we have anywhere between 5 to 250 devices at over 450 different locations this can be quite consuming at the sites. Currently we are primarily doing pings on most of our devices to make sure they are live, but want to do much more and to keep the amount of nsca's on the central server down, I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to have multiple posts sent thru a single connection, verses every post establishing a connection.

I used ssh and a small perl script for this. Setup ssh from the remote system to the master nagios system using public key ssh. On the remote system have each check send it's properly formatted *CHECK_RESULT output to a file. Then a small shell script that is run when you want to submit your checks. The small script cats the file into "ssh nagios at nagios_master_host". On the master nagios system create a small shell or perl script that: reads a line of input verifies it has the proper form for a PROCESS_HOST/SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT submits the result to the command queue Install the shell script/perl script as a forced command for the keys that you are using from the remote system. So loss of the key doesn't allow the user to do anything other than submit *CHECK_RESULTS. Specifically they can't run any programs or submit other passive nagios commands. Obviously this works best if you already use ssh for your remote infrastructure. I used it to have a Cyclades terminal servers report events back to the central nagios server, worked like a charm. You can also use 'tail -f local_input_file_or_pipe | autossh nagios_master_host' to keep a persistent ssh open if you don't have too many permanent connections that you need to set up. I used this setup with SEC to handle alerts coming from syslog monitoring and analysis. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Don't know, if this is a known issue, maybe a patch already exists, or maybe I'm totally wrong here ;) Here's the problem: check_nt MEMUSE seems to check the perfmon instances \Memory\Committed Bytes and \Memory\Commit Limit, it then calculates the procentual proportion of committed bytes to commit limit, the output then refers to the procentual proportion of the physical ram. Problem is, that the commit limit is != physical ram! e.g. physical ram = 1GB, pagefile = 4GB -> Commit Limit is 1GB + 4GB = 5GB when committed bytes is 500MB (10%), the plugin reports that there are 100MB used RAM (10% from 1GB RAM). In the Task Manager the Value 500MB is displayed correctly. I'm using the check_nt from the nagiso-plugins 1.4.0alpha2 1.21 Any suggestions to solve this problem?

PATH setting for Nagios, perhaps? And I don't mean the one you get as user nagios, I mean the one Nagios works with... Apart from that, for that sort of problem, it's a simple thing to write a small wrapper script which logs some diagnostic output - for example, path, id, shell and probably the Nagios-specific environment variables - and then submits the actual program calls with parameters. You might even log things like the output from 'which ' and '/bin/ls -l ' to see what actually happens...

Yes, the search path for executables. In other words, perhaps neither /usr/local/bin nor /opt/tools/pipesend are used to search for programs. The PATH is, usually and IIRC, set in the start script for nagios or inherited from the existing environment. The most useful thing you might do is simply use all commands with a full path - that avoids some security holes as well.

Are the http checks done in exactly the same way as the PureTest scripts (i.e. active/passive, same plugin, etc)? Check the log_* entries in nagios.cfg to make sure they meet your expectations. Each check is normally not logged, only state changes and retries if you have that enabled. Also verify that you don't have multiple nagios daemons running concurrently. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

You could scrape downtime.log every 1 minute (from cron) and act upon that. You could make it as smart or dumb as you want. Dumb would be sending a notification for every host/service that is scheduled to be down in 10 minutes. Smart would be compiling all the downtimes, comparing the times and matching them up and sending out a single notification with a list of the services/hosts scheduled to be down in 10 minutes. Sounds like a fun project, pull out your perl book.

Unfortunatly you have to define dependencies from Nagios point of view. So placing Nagios at the proper spot in your network is crucial in this. Finding a problem by looking for the first host to go missing in Nagios means you must poll just about every second. That will put quite a strain on your setup and will still not be as effective as you might think. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

It looks promising and the initial work has been quite successful. The notification command creates a ticket using a webservice, and writes an acknoledgement upon successful creation. This setup is functional, but does not satisfy me because nagios and helpdesk are quite decoupled. I might prefer to get a two direction communication, basically to only ACK the problem when some human being actually works on the ticket, and also to close the ticket (the proper one) if the service recovers. One of the problems I see is how to assign a unique identifier to a nagios alarm, which might solve most of my problems as our helpdesk is designed to cooperate with external helpdesk applications. I would like to get feedback and comments for people who has (or not) such a setup.

From my understanding, this can be done differently depending on what you need and how things are configured on your network. At this point, I am currently using Nagios with Active Service/Host checks only. I'm monitoring Internet accessible services such as status of POP/SMTP/Web/SSh/DNS etc.. and I'm monitoring local services such as partition usage/load average/processes etc.. via the NRPE daemon/client application. However, all these checks are using the plugins that were provided with the Nagios installation and some of my own small scripts. Currently on our Cisco routers, we are able to monitor whether or not the interface link is up or down, we can also be notified if a link load passes a certain threshold, say 80%. Again, these are just using the plugins available either from the Nagios installation or from Nagios exchange. But what I want to be able to do, is configure traps so that Nagios can be notified when other things occur such as: power supply failure, input queue reaching a certain level, latency if possible and many other things that are defined in the default MIB of our Cisco routers. So my question is, what is the best way to monitor these things? What are all my options? My understanding is that I would have to configure the traps on the Cisco device to send event information to a central snmptrapd, then that info is passed on to the Nagios host which is listening for Passive Checks which will then alert us via pager/email etc.. But my question is, how is all this done? How do I configure the Monitored host to send these events to snmptrapd? How do I configure the snmptrapd? How do I configure snmptrapd to pass this info onto Nagios? Do I need to use SNMPTT as an event correlator or not? If so, how is that configured? What all has to be defined in Nagios for the paging to happen once it sees the passive check result in the external command file? Anyway, I am open for suggestions. Examples of how things are configured would be great. Try to break it down so that I can understand what's doing what and how. All suggestions / information is greatly appreciated. Even if it's just pointing me to the right documentation. Thanks a bunch !!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would like to understand it > more deeply. Rhis sounds like it depends only on your Nagios setup and your network. For example, if you _only_ use IP adresses and not DNS in your Nagios configuration, all your routers do _not_ need DNS, and all your services do _not_ depend on DNS (think of verifying reverse mapping for mail address verification, or SSL certificate checks, for example, or nrpe or (x)inetd or TCP wrappers... lots of opportunities to need DNS without being aware of it) having a DNS outage should not affect service state. In other words: Since you experienced service failures, something _must_ depend on either DNS or some outage not directly monitored affected DNS as well as all other checks you run. Or it's all been a great coincidence...

Travis, A single post would have been sufficient :) We've been implementing SNMP traps and we've written an article on our experiences on it. It is only a pointer to how things are done, with a perl module that can help - SNMP::Trapinfo - There is still integration work that needs to be done, but it is a start. http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2006/03/lessons_in_snmp.html Ton http://www.altinity.com T: +44 (0)870 787 9243 F: +44 (0)845 280 1725 Skype: tonvoon ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Since most checks are done via ssh and ssh communication can depend on mutual dns verification ... Maybe I find the time to dig into it somewhat deeper. Thanks for getting me back on the track!

If you can use gmail you might as well put in some effort and use google. You should stumble over plenty of samples on the internet.

I was wondering if it is possible to define 'custom macros' that can be defined per host. For example, we have the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro which can be referenced in the 'command' definition, but what if I have some other attribute I'd like to specify that's not part of the 'host' object by default. In particular, our DNS caches run on their own IP address (interface) different from the rest of the services on the boxes. I don't want to define new hosts for this because that would be ugly, mistake prone, confusing in the HTTP UI etc. Instead I'd like to define a new check command called check_dnscache which uses $DNSCACHEADDRESS$ instead of $HOSTADDRESS$ in it's command line. Can anyone make a suggestion on how to do this?

That means you HAVE to define a service object for every host/service combination. Yuk! Right now you can apply a service to an entire _hostgroup_, and the assignment/memebership to the hostgroup is set up IN the host object. This means that for those services, all the information necessary is captured in the host definition, as long as only the standard attributes (hostaddress etc) are referenced. Why should I configure the XYZ property of my host anywhere other than the host definition? It doesnt' make one lick of sense from a management perspective. Not to mention it forces twice the management burden to have to copy service definitions all over the place.

In our > environment, we are constantly adding and deleting hosts and services > every day. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#use_retained_sche duling_info I don't use it but it appears that you must have host/service retention enabled as well, including adding the retain_status_information and retain_nonstatus_information to your host/service definitions or templates. Using '/etc/init.d/nagios reload' or sending a HUP signal to the master nagios daemon will cause it to reload the config w/o restarting. With the settings above enabled then it should retain the scheduling queue and pre-reload status information for hosts and services. Personally, we just run a config verification (nagios -v) when adding hosts and restart each night to have the changes enabled. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I'm arguing that it would be far more maintainable not that I like or dislike it. For 25 hosts with 4 services, would you rather maintain 33 objects or 125? 33 = 25 hosts assigned to 4 hostgroups and 4 services bound to the hostgroups 125 = 25 hosts, 25 service#1, 25 service#2, 25 service#3, 25 service #4? Scale this up with hosts and services and it gets really bad. > If this hostgroup is important than how is each service to learn their > different address?

As a new user I guess I assumed that assigning a service to a hostgroup_name instead of a host_name would work (contrary to the documentation BTW). And guess what. It DOES WORK. Take a look. Define three hosts, put them in hostgroup 'ssh'. define a service 'ssh' assign it to hostgroup_name 'ssh'. It just works.

It would have to be done programmatically as above of via logic built into your notification script.

Great question. I've been thinking about that a bit myself, but just haven't had time to really work on it. My thought so far would be to do something like this: Create a "wrapper" plugin that can execute two (or more) "regular" plugins and capture the return value of each. The wrapper plugin would then alert only if a certain combination of return values are received. For your purposes here, the wrapper plugin would return CRITICAL only if both "regular" plugins also return CRITICAL For what you're trying to do, (and what I'm up to as well) your two regular plugins would be: 1. Whatever normal plugin you're using to check the host/service in question 2. check_nrpe using the same plugin as (1), but running on your second host. The "wrapper" plugin could be used as both a service check and a host check, so you could make every host/service you're monitoring be checked from two (or more) systems but only alert if all or some combination of "check hosts" return CRITICAL. The only drawback here is that all the alerting is still funneled through your primary Nagios host, so if it is unavailable you get no alerts. But that's where failover monitoring can come in, which is fairly well documented and would complement this setup pretty nicely. I'm guessing the "wrapper" plugin would take only an hour or two to hack out in Perl (Much less for someone more skilled than I)...I just haven't had the time to devote to this particular project. If anyone does take the time -- let me know, I'm happy to help test.

Using my augmented config above, change the web address to 193.169.10.2. Only one line changes. Using a hardcoded argument in the service definition 10 lines have to change. Hardcoding the server IP in the service check is much more labor intensive. Say you have 10 services for each host in the hostgroup, and you have 20 hosts. You now have 200 services to define, one for each argument. This way you have 10 services to define. You add a new host, add one new host definition and no service definitions. It's a major pain for 100 services that you want to run for a hostgroup. Yes, I can write perl one-liners just as well as the next guy but I still have to verify every change in the diff. This is also a nice way to handle multiple interfaces on devices as well. Define hostgroups and macros for each interface. Want to shut down the host, simply put host in downtime and all services defined on that host (regardless of interface) are shut down. No need to create multiple hosts in nagios, one for each interface you want to define like you do now in nagios. Want to shut down the host with this setup, you have to down each host you defined. I am working on a hack using filepp (the 'for' macro is nice) to define alternate interfaces as #define macros that cause expansion of the "hostgroup" service definitions. Also it is designed to allow generation of servicedependencies. If I get it working well, I'll post it to allow enhancing the configuration language. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

That's not a standard configuration and you'd probably run into timing issues. If NagiosA has checked the service and finds it down, NagiosB may not have checked the service yet and may still consider it up. What do you do then (nothing?)? How can you tell the difference (Last Check time?)? Nagios isn't built for that kind of coordination. For an off-the-cuff suggestion, if you used multiple retries and didn't specifically require that both servers see the state as HARD you could embed that logic in your notification script. - NagiosA always sends notifications. - ServiceX on HostY reaches hard state. - NagiosA initiates notification for ServiceX on HostY - Notification script searches status.log on NagiosB or performs HTTP screen scrape on NagiosB to determine state of ServiceX on HostY as seen from there. - If NagiosB shows CRITICAL, send notification - If only one shows critical do nothing(?) - repeat at regular intervals in case NagiosB was slow to pick up the state (or use the vice-versa logic to also send notifications from NagiosB) There are probably pitfalls but I think that's how I would approach it at first. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

One way to do this is to set up the following: On nagios 1 service A1 (no notifications) On nagios 1 service A2 (passive update from server 2, not polled from server 1, no notifications) On nagios 2 service A2 (no notifications) On nagios 2 service A1 (passive update from server 1, not polled from server 2, no notifications) On both nagios 1 and 2 create service B that does notify (and poll) that uses check_cluster to require that both be in error condition to generate an error notification. Set up the passive services to have a freshness interval just a little longer than the polling interval on the other server. This way loss of the remote server is detected and causes the passive service to fail. Also service B can use another script that you write to require exactly the same service output etc or perform other correlation requirements. Send the passive service via ssh, nsca, carrier pigeon etc. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

If you have a correlation service B watching services A1 (polled from nagios A) and A2 (polled from nagios B and sent passively to nagios A) you want B to poll at least twice as fast as the poll interval for A1 and A2. E.G. If A1 and A2 poll at 4 minutes, poll B at 2 minutes maximum to allow you to sample the state that can change twice every 4 minutes. >For an off-the-cuff suggestion, if you used multiple retries and didn't >specifically require that both servers see the state as HARD you could >embed that logic in your notification script. > >- NagiosA always sends notifications.

I had considered this as a suggestion as well but felt it was messy due to the need to duplicate all the host and service definitions on both machines but with different names plus a third definition for each for the cluster check. Templates should make it easy mandate which definition was active/passive on each machine but the duplication just wouldn't scale well IMHO. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

It sends the HUP POSIX Signal to the Nagios process. Upon receiving this signal the Nagios process re-examines it's configuration files. Now, if you sent the "KILL" signal, then the process will die. The "kill" function call (and command which calls the said function) is just the method of delivering the signal to a process. Signal number 9 (aka "KILL") has one outcome. The process must die. No ifs, ands, or buts. All others can be caught within the program and cause specific actions to happen. Usually the "HUP" signal is used to re-read config files. By default the "kill" command sends the "TERM" signal. The "TERM" signal is usually used to tell the program that you want it to shutdown nicely, write transactions, close files, clean up its work area, then exit on its own. -- And, did Guloka think the Ulus were too ugly to save? -Centauri ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

The site where it was set up originally had the second server as a backup notifier. If it lost connectivity to the primary server it switched on notifications. Later a seperate SEC process on the second server monitored the primary's notifications and would release notifications queued up by the second nagios process (keyed by host, service, severity) if the notifications from the first and second didn't come through within 5 minutes of each other. It worked and made sure that alert's weren't delayed more than 5 minutes, but frankly the original setup with the second server not notifying unless it lost heartbeat on the original server (or the original server detected it couldn't get pages out) had a lot fewer issues. Then again I didn't have to work there. >> >- ServiceX on HostY reaches hard state. >> >- NagiosA initiates notification for ServiceX on HostY >> >- Notification script searches status.log on NagiosB or performs HTTP >> >screen scrape on NagiosB to determine state of ServiceX on HostY as >> >seen from there. >> >- If NagiosB shows CRITICAL, send notification >> >- If only one shows critical do nothing(?) >> >- repeat at regular intervals in case NagiosB was slow to pick up the >> >state (or use the vice-versa logic to also send notifications from >> >NagiosB) >> >> Neat idea, however you would need to handle the case where nagios B >> isn't properly updating the service (and therfore isn't providing >> valid data). > >Looking at Last Update should cover that scenario.

Debian Sarge was released as "stable" in June 2005, way before Nagios 2.0. It is Debian's release policy to only touch a stable release for security related or other bad bugs. Under no circumstances will a software version be updated in Debian stable. That being said, nagios2 builds fine on Debian sarge, and you can even backport the nagios2 packages from the development versions. We haven't packaged nagios 2.1 yet, and the mysql interface is gone.

Nagios 2.0 is in the unstable release already as the nagios2 package. I expect that the maintainer will do an upgrade to 2.1 fairly soon.

All this script does is checking if the same notification has already been sent from the other host and if yes delete it. The advantage of this approach is: You can add other functionality by and by to this script (e. g. filter out mass notifications from Nagios that can occur even if you use topologic dependencies). And you do not have to mess around with layers of service definitions. You can even use rsync to copy config alterations from one Nagios instance to the other. Any ideas pro/against this approach?

The OP's request was for a reload without resetting the scheduling queue. A HUP resets the queue. Try it, I did. Just sending a HUP is not sufficient to resolve her request. Per my original response, it looks possible to reload without rescheduling via the use_retained_scheduling_info config option combined with the HUP. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

The quick way to find out what that is is to add " 2>&1" to the end of the problem command in your nrpe.cfg and run the check by hand (from the nagios server). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It does not make any differences whether the order of the lines are changed or if I use nobody/nogroup instead - it's an error on line 15. When I add the only_from directive, it is still line 15. When I enter a faulty parameter ("disabled" instead of "disable") I see the corresponding line number in the error text. And to add to my confusion, the same configuration runs fine on another machine with i686 architecture. Just the instance names of some SAP checks are changed... Best of all is that the monitoring server shows all services as green, and with the correct output. I am just a bit concerned since one day we had a /var/log/messages of 35 Gig size :-( What did I do till now? Well, first I tried the rpms delivered with SLES9. Then I removed them and compiled nrpe 2.0 (and later nrpe 2.4) on the machines. No changes - the error appears, nagios shows "good" results. Then I commented out all the commands in /etc/sapmon/nrpe.cfg. The error is still there, now nagios shows (correctly) that the service is not defined. Can someone please put me on the way to get rid of those error lines? Google and alltheweb.com only told me that there was an issue with nrpe segfaulting when the config was faulty - but this was 3 years ago... BTW, I did not find something like "nrpe -v -c /etc/sapmon/nrpe.cfg" or something similar to have nrpe check its config file. Is it planned to support this check in the future?

Hi, nagios' status maps are becoming unreadable quite quickly even for moderatly large networks.

Sometimes, but not always, issuing a HUP to Nagios causes bad things to happen. The configuration won't reload (for example, new services don't appear in the web interface), and the Nagios socket stops accepting input. In the case of my current installation, this means that I get a crapload of hung NSCA processes from the external boxes that submit checks for ~4000 services to the "master" box. Withing an hour or so, this'll pretty much take out the master as the number of waiting NSCA processes exhausts the server's file handles. If not caught in time, it takes a server reboot to recover. I'm working around it by training people *not* to send HUPs to nagios, and do full reloads, but I'd love to figure out why this happens and/or if it can be fixed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

I do all my checking with ssh and it works wonderfully. Every monitored machine has a 'nagios' user that is used to log on to it via an ssh key where only the nagios box has the privkey to. In the pubkey I use the 'command' directive to force a sanity check on every command that is passed via ssh. This command compares what's in the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable to a list of allowed commands. If it passes it get executed, otherwise nagios errors. It's a simple perl script I wrote. So the authorized_keys file on all hosts for user 'nagios' looks like that: from="{nagioshost}",command="/usr/local/nagios/home/acl_agent",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding ssh-dss..key stuff This way the key can only be used from the nagios box for exactly the commands that the plugins need to run. acl_agent is the perl script and the acl's themselves are maintained via cfengine.

I'm honestly at a loss as to why, though. The load hasn't gone up on the nagios server (if anything, it's gone down a bit). The MySQL backend is very comfy (low load, again). All rrd writes are done *within* the plugin (both with an apan wrapper and custom scripts). Yet, the checks appear to be happening (alerts are still going out, etc). Definitely perplexing.

I have added the lines to the init script and I will monitor the server to see if it still occurs. I had also changed the max_concurrent_checks to 50 from 100 and changed service_reaper_frequency from 2 to 1. This was done on all servers. I also set process_performance_data from 1 to 0 to disable it from running in hopes to eliminate more processes. I was wondering will this process get executed when running the external command to reboot the server from the webpage. If it isn't is there anything I can change for it to do so? Also what type of computer should the main central server be running for 7000 devices (1 service each). We haven't added more devices to the Nagios server since the problem has been happening but we expect to add another 1000 once the problem is corrected and another 1000 or so throughout the rest of the year. I doubt the computer I had running now is adequate for the job so I would like to move it to a more powerful system. Currently I have a 2.4 Celeron PC with 2 GB of RAM running on the main server. What system should I get to properly handle this many devices? The individual servers are running the same thing and don't seem to have problems but should these be upgraded as well? I am planning on installing Fedora for the OS and had installed everything as a package with the current setup. To eliminate more processes can someone tell me what packages should I have installed to get Nagios, NSCA and Apache working properly without anything else. I am sure there might be a better flavor of Linux to run Nagios but we have already standarized using RedHat and Fedora for the OS. Thanks again for the information and hopefully this will resolve my problem.

We noticed the problem increasingly after we installed perfparse, which attempts (poorly) to stop and restart the nagios process. The nagios process has to be running or the nsca instances will never get processed, and therefore stay in memory. I setup a simple process check for nsca and we shoed at some points 11000+ instances of NCSA, right before having to go to our data center and give it the old hard reboot. We use authorized keys and check_by_ssh to run local checks on the nagios Central Server, athough a snmp script would also work well. I would suggest adding a line to your init script for nagios to stop and start ncsa along with nagios. ex. start) echo "Starting network monitor: nagios" $NagiosBin -v $NagiosCfgFile > /dev/null 2>&1; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then su - $NagiosUser -c "touch $NagiosVarDir/nagios.log $NagiosRetentionFile" rm -f $NagiosCommandFile touch $NagiosRunFile chown $NagiosUser:$NagiosGroup $NagiosRunFile $NagiosBin -d $NagiosCfgFile if [ -d $NagiosLockDir ]; then touch $NagiosLockDir/$NagiosLockFile; fi #sleep 1 #status_nagios nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg -d exit 0 else echo "CONFIG ERROR!

I am using eventhandlers with nrpe when a windows' service is down so i can make it starts. That happens -not so often hopefully- with servers that are rebooting due to power failure : the Exchange Information Store service for instance is not always up automatically (strange but still...), so with a windows shell script i managed to get ride of users complains about not being able to get their emails. You can write short scripts in perl, vbscript, shell bash, whatever. You have to know exactly how to react when problems arise and that the tricky part beyond handling Nagios configuration. I am newbie and would appreciate others feedback about how they use eventhandlers, cause that's nagios power to respond to problems...the so called proactive monitoring. 2006/3/31, tomvo at absi.be : > > Hi James, > > > I just came accross your message on the nagios mailing list, and i have > exactly the same request. > > I didn't see any answers on the list, so I was wondering if you have found > a solution ? > > > regards, > Tom. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Tom Van Overbeke - ABSI Service Delivery Coordinator > email: tomvo at absi.be > Tel: +32 2 333 40 00 - Fax: +32 2 332 34 69 > website: http://www.absi.be > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > > Dehnert James Sr > Sent by: nagios-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > 10/03/2006 23:29 > > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > cc: > Subject: [Nagios-users] Event Handlers > > > Most of all of the processes and such I monitor are not on the Nagios > server.
