Subject: [Nagios-users] NRPE and $SERVICESTATE$
Hello,
I run nagios 2.0 and nrpe 2.4.
How may I do to modify the $SERVICESTATE$ value resulting from a request of
nagios ?
I run chekc_nrpe to query nrpe on an host and I need to modify, seeing
results of running nrpe, $SERVICESTATE$ to obtain a notification alarm
Regards, Many thanks

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.

Hi!
There might be nagios-channels out there, but since I didn't find any, I
made my own. A friend of mine and me are working with nagios every day
and have one of the largest implementations registered at nagios.org. We
figured it would be nice to have a dedicated nagios-channel to discuss
options and solutions with fellow users out there.
Feel free to join in.

The service state is set by the plugin that is being executed by NRPE
via the plugin's exit code. NRPE simply passes that code back to nagios
unmodified. See
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN75 for
the proper plugin exit codes for each state.

My lines were:
use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec" /libexec
use utils qw($TIMEOUT %ERRORS &print_revision &support);=20
Now the command answers correctly !! ;-)
The help on-line (check_ntp -h) is not so easy to understand...
Does check_ntp compare the target host specified time with the locale =
time
(Nagios server time) or what?

I don't use the plugin but the help says "Checks the local timestamp
offset versus <host> with ntpdate" so I would say the answer is yes.

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.

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.

I believe the docs are pretty much correct on this one.
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.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios 'Out Of Memory' Problems
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
------_=_NextPart_001_01C64EA6.D8E6FE73
Content-Type: text/plain;

I have a problem with my Nagios server constantly crashing. 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.
=20
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.
=20
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.
=20
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.

font-family:Arial'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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.

Subject: [Nagios-users] incomplete information showed by status.cgi
Hello
I have nagios running on my debian box. I declared 1 host with about 20
monitor (for testing purposes)
When I invoke status.cgi, sometimes appear all defined monitor for that host
and the rest of declared hosts, and sometimes appear a subset of monitors
defined for the host and I don't see the rest of hosts.
I there something I can do to overpass this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help
