Check check_dns against your AD-integrated DNS servers so they return your domain controller IP addresses when you query your domain name. Run check_ldap against all domain controllers (even the ones with no DNS server) to see they return something (for authentication create a domain user account and tell check_ldap to bind to the DC machines with that). And as suggested by others, check CPU use, memory, disk space and services (netlogon, dns, kdc, ntfrs) with check_nt or check_nc_net. -- Hannu Liljemark | Appelsiini Finland Oy | http://appelsiini.fi ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I have the active checking working fine. But I am confused as to how passive checks are best implemented. When I chose nagios I had thought (incorrectly it seems) that nagios would come with some sort of daemon or service that would connect or be connected to the main nagios system to report on things like disk usage, load, swap, etc. But upon reading: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/passivechecks.html and many other documents and postings it seems this is not the case. I have chosen nsca because I prefer my machines connect to my server since some of them may be behind firewalls etc. The problem is how do I feed the data into nsca? For some reason it seems that the output from the checks that come with nagios (check_disk, check_load, check_swap) are not compatible with the input for nsca. Why is this? It seems many people have written their own wrappers for the checks to feed nsca. I am wondering how I am going to handle configuration and management of this wrapper to wrap all of the local checks and configure them appropriately for the local machine. The nagios config on the server does not apply to remote checks. So basically I have to write a custom shell script for each server that calls all of the right checks with the right arguments, converts their output, and passes the result into send_nsca to the main nagios server. At that point it almost seems cleaner to just write my own program from scratch in python which does the local checks I am interested in and passes the result into send_nsca. But since this is a need everyone with more than one system to monitor must have I must be reinventing the wheel here. I feel like I must have missed something and that there has got to be a more elegant way to do it. Suggestions? Advice?

I have looked at PerfParse, but quite frankly, adding on, yet another add-on seems like more work than it should be. I'm looking for bandwidth utilization type performance, uptime, interface errors, etc. I would like to write that the perfdata column for the ndo_servicestatus table. I can use the check_snmp check for the interface errors, and write the data. But I wonder if that's the correct direction. Am I off base here, or do I need another cup of coffee?

Message-ID: <8C18BAD1F46B2245B0A08BCF1A823DD443FF8C@raptor.redhawk.info> I might be closer to answer my own question, but I think this is a "submit_check_result" issue, rather than NDO issue. Looking through the NDO source code, I see where it has the ability to write to the perfdata column. I think the problem lies within the "submit_check_results" command. It doesn't really send the performance data, but rather drops it. Here is my output: ./check_snmp_int -H 10.1.1.1 -C public -n -f em1:UP, em0:UP, exp0:UP:3 UP: OK | 'em1_in_octet'=381357882c 'em1_out_octet'=1161492429c 'em0_in_octet'=1464302566c 'em0_out_octet'=550763402c 'exp0_in_octet'=70379851c 'exp0_out_octet'=56255289c I think it has to do with the single quotes and the "|" (pipe) . I by far am no programmer. My submit_check_result is the typical one that comes with Nagios. Here it is: #!/bin/sh # Arguments: # $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is # associated with) # $2 = svc_description (Description of the service) # $3 = state_string (A string representing the status of # the given service - "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL" # or "UNKNOWN") # $4 = plugin_output (A text string that should be used # as the plugin output for the service checks) # # Convert the state string to the corresponding return code return_code=-1 case "$3" in OK) return_code=0 ;; WARNING) return_code=1 ;; CRITICAL) return_code=2 ;; UNKNOWN) return_code=3 ;; esac /usr/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" "$1" "$2" "$return_code" "$4" | /usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_nsca -H -to 15 -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg Thoughts?

Hello Everyone, For some odd reason, I have it in my head that you can write performance data into the NDO tables via a service check command. I have looked at PerfParse, but quite frankly, adding on, yet another add-on seems like more work than it should be. I'm looking for bandwidth utilization type performance, uptime, interface errors, etc. I would like to write that the perfdata column for the ndo_servicestatus table. I can use the check_snmp check for the interface errors, and write the data. But I wonder if that's the correct direction. Am I off base here, or do I need another cup of coffee?

There's really no need from my experience. status.sav and retention.dat just contain current status information and they'll be re-populated on the first check of each service based on your current configs and check results. status.sav is used by the CGI's to display current status and retention.dat is used by nagios to reload current state on restart. All historical information is in nagios/netsaint.log and the archives. The only thing that I can think of that might be interesting to port over from retention.dat might be acknowledgement status. I handled that by looking at the comments file for ACKNOWLEDGMENT and greping out the appropriate parts of the line to submit an acknowledgement external command. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I might be closer to answer my own question, but I think this is a "submit_check_result" issue, rather than NDO issue. Looking through the NDO source code, I see where it has the ability to write to the perfdata column. I think the problem lies within the "submit_check_results" command. It doesn't really send the performance data, but rather drops it. Here is my output: ./check_snmp_int -H 10.1.1.1 -C public -n -f em1:UP, em0:UP, exp0:UP:3 UP: OK | 'em1_in_octet'=381357882c 'em1_out_octet'=1161492429c 'em0_in_octet'=1464302566c 'em0_out_octet'=550763402c 'exp0_in_octet'=70379851c 'exp0_out_octet'=56255289c I think it has to do with the single quotes and the "|" (pipe) . I by far am no programmer. My submit_check_result is the typical one that comes with Nagios. Here it is: #!/bin/sh # Arguments: # $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is # associated with) # $2 = svc_description (Description of the service) # $3 = state_string (A string representing the status of # the given service - "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL" # or "UNKNOWN") # $4 = plugin_output (A text string that should be used # as the plugin output for the service checks) # # Convert the state string to the corresponding return code return_code=-1 case "$3" in OK) return_code=0 ;; WARNING) return_code=1 ;; CRITICAL) return_code=2 ;; UNKNOWN) return_code=3 ;; esac /usr/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" "$1" "$2" "$return_code" "$4" | /usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_nsca -H -to 15 -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg Thoughts?

Hello Everyone, For some odd reason, I have it in my head that you can write performance data into the NDO tables via a service check command. I have looked at PerfParse, but quite frankly, adding on, yet another add-on seems like more work than it should be. I'm looking for bandwidth utilization type performance, uptime, interface errors, etc. I would like to write that the perfdata column for the ndo_servicestatus table. I can use the check_snmp check for the interface errors, and write the data. But I wonder if that's the correct direction. Am I off base here, or do I need another cup of coffee?

That means, that the check_snmp plugin of *nagios* will output performance data to apan, but apan could not handle these data and the insert into the RRD files fail. I've fixed that the hard way: in snmp.sh in the plugins-sql directory of apan I've inserted in function snmpget (which is used to gather interface data) after the call of check_snmp and the status code the following lines: # # Delete Performance data information VALUE=$(echo ${VALUE} | sed 's/|.*$//') This line will delete everything from the check_snmp output, after the '|' character, which is used in nagios to seperate regular data from performance data.

It is only used on restart to load the last known state of hosts/services before shutdown. Removing the file forces nagios to re-determine the state of the hosts and services from the next check which it would normally do anyway. If you do nothing with this file when upgrading, host and service states will be UNDETERMINED during the interval between shutting down the old nagios and starting up your new. I was able to accomplish that change in under 3 minutes with a little pre-planning. You could run them in tandem for a period of time equal to your log_rotation and not even have that or even merge the current log files. > > The exact same thing happened when I moved > retention.dat.

Why assume when you can verify? Perform this test again and actually look at the historical data. It'll be there. Look at the contents of status.sav even. You'll see that it only contains current information at the time it was created. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

If you need to retain proof then you have to build a new system and keep the old one running untill eveything is OK and then store the old system in a safe or something. In my view you need to produce the reports from the old one and scratch it as soon as you can do a month report on the new system that matches the old one. So how do you handle a broken disk on your Nagios system? If that happens all your proof is down the drain as well I guess. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

Next, assign a parent for the host configuration of devices _behind_ (logically, from the point of view/route of the monitor host) the parent using the "parents" option. At this point, after either a detected service failure in the gateway device directly, or by a forced parent check if nagios detects a host down behind it, you will end up having the parent gateway device in a dependency chain that is always checked on failure. If it _is_ down, your settings for host alerts based on unreachable and down will be used.

Frankly. This is where we leave Nagios behind. Nagios is part of the solution and that is fine. But your question needs a carefull investigation and goes miles beyond what nagios can do.

Is there a way of stopping the Connection Refuse from happening. The key is to find the reason for the refusal. As you seem to know the time at which it occurs it should be possible to read all the logs and see what happens around that time.

Firstly, has anyone had a similar problem with performance data in general, and secondly, can anyone see anything obviously wrong in what I have done? Googling has gotten me nowhere, the manual has put me on the right track in a lot of ways, but I can't fathom why the script is, apparently, not being run by the daemon. Thanks in advance.

Please provide details and how you got there. It should just work if you've installed them in different directories and modified apache appropriately; i.e. a second set of ScriptAlias, Alias and Directory options specific to the new install as detailed at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/installweb.html. I opted for name-based VirtualHost containers myself. I ran 1.2 and 2.0 in tandem for about a month and a half during testing (and still am actually). The only significant change I made was to modify the init script to be aware of both instances for stop/start. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Thanks - John Seems as if it is not clear, which flavor of Regex is suported in Nagios, I had a similar problem, and could not find a clear documentation about the regex-suport in Nagios yet. F.e. [sw][0-9]{3}[a-z]{2,124}\.company\.net This should match any string starting with either s or w, followed by exactly 3 digits and a resonable number of characters plus the domain suffix. But it did not work. May be I am missing some backslashes? Please, can anyone point us to the right place? TIA, Ingo. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But I have ~300 servers, and the NTP is running and working in some ones, not in every servers. I didn't know about this configuration (ntpd only listen in localhost) and I'm very been thankful to this list to help me to find this problem. Now, I'm just try find a way to monitory all the servers and discover how have a unsynchronized clock, but I'm not sure that what I have to do :) Please, say if I'm correct: All the servers MUST be listen in all interfaces, and not only in localhost to work?

You can use nrpe to run the check_ntp locally on those hosts that do not need to listen to ntp requests from the net. In fact, if you are doing nrpe checks for other things on those hosts, that's how i would set it up. No reason for a host to listen on all interfaces just so you can check whether it's clock is synchronized.... -- John Jolet Your On-Demand IT Department 512-762-0729 www.jolet.net john at jolet.net ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

It checks if ntpd is running, if the host has a reference clock and if it is synchronized to it and so on. It logs to syslog and send a Mail on failure.

If we check the logs we can see messages showing the service status going CRITICAL and OK, but if we check the grapich that the availability feature creates we come up with wrong information. It seems that Nagios isn't using all the information in the logs to generate the graphic. To try to be more specific the logs tell me that some_service went critical and back: [Fri Apr 7 12:21:56 2006] SERVICE ALERT: some_host;some_service;CRITICAL;HARD;1;No route to host (..)

Next to the availability report we can check the service logs entry and it's strange that it doesn't show a lot on entries between those two specific days, althought we see them a lot in the log files. 2006-04-07 12:21:56 2006-04-19 03:43:32 11d 15h 21m 36s SERVICE CRITICAL No route to host 2006-05-02 15:34:03 2006-05-02 15:42:12 0d 0h 8m 9s SERVICE CRITICAL Connection refused Hope to have gather all the info needed.

Thanks - John Seems as if it is not clear, which flavor of Regex is suported in Nagios, I had a similar problem, and could not find a clear documentation about the regex-suport in Nagios yet. F.e. [sw][0-9]{3}[a-z]{2,124}\.company\.net This should match any string starting with either s or w, followed by exactly 3 digits and a resonable number of characters plus the domain suffix. But it did not work. May be I am missing some backslashes? Please, can anyone point us to the right place? TIA, Ingo. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Furthermore, those CPU loads are instantaneous values that represent only 1 second (or any delay top uses to compute those numbers), and thus can be aberrant regarding what the CPU has during all the time it was not checked for; i.e. if your check_interval is 5 minutes you should not take a random, 1 second long sample in a 5 min period but an average value computed over the 5 minutes. > You can get the first line of infos with check_load and check_uptime (contrib) > The second with check_proc > > But currently I don't see any way of getter the other lines. > Have a look check_snmp_load.pl and its *netsc *option for the -T argument (see http://www.manubulon.com/nagios/snmp_load.html) This might be what you are looking for. -- Thibault ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I meet strange problems. I configured Nagios follow the documentation. I configured Nagios folder permission as 755 for /etc/nagios, and ownership is apache.nagios I configured Nagios configuration file permission as 644 and ownership is apache.nagios When I access NagiosQL from Firefox, I can create new configuration files or modify current configuration files. But I couldn't save them. Even I just modify the nagios.cfg, I couldn't save it eighter. But NagiosQL told me, the files are written properly. I totally lost, anybody and any ideas for it.

A few of these: May 5 14:34:03 survivor nrpe[19415]: refused connect from 192.168.2.30 (192.168.2.30) Could this just be an issue where nrpe is configured not to accept any connections from that network?

I am able to telnet to the box on port 5666 and get an open connection, but when I try to run check_nrpe (either via Nagios or just from CLI), I get: "CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds." I know it works because I have it checking other machines running NRPE too, with the exact same configuration. On the remote machine, I am getting this in /var/log/messages: "Could not read request from client, bailing out..." All of the machines that run nrpe are FreeBSD 5.4 and FreeBSD 6.0 (this one is 6.0). I am able to run the check_nrpe command from the local box and I get "OK" returned just fine. I have NRPE bound to the correct IP address -- the one I am checking from the remote host. The only difference in configuration between the host that I'm getting the errors on and the other machines that also run NRPE without any issue is that the Nagios server is behind a NAT (running static NAT). The other servers running NRPE are also behind the same NAT, so I connect to them using the 10.x.x.x address. On the machine I am having problems with, it is located on the other side of the NAT (I connect to its public IP). The machine having issues is *not* behind a NAT its self, so I only traverse the NAT on the way *out* from the Nagios server. Since it runs over TCP, I would think it should work just fine as the connection state would be maintained in the NAT. What am I missing here? I'm also certain it's something in the NAT, was just wondering if there is anything special I have to do. The NAT is a Cisco PIX. - -- Thanks, Chris Miller ServerMotion www.servermotion.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEW38YxBwlCB7CRwsRAnERAJ4liEvlSU26ly5vwKZF6fQQxBzB7wCbBvgu 350nVoxuEHWyPxH7+X1dBd8= =KZv4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Coming back to the theme of the original post - finding a suite of tools to complement Nagios to help it compete with the likes of UniCenter and Tivoli - cfEngine seems very Linux and server oriented although it does discuss using Cygwin to manage Windows servers. In my CIO/CTO positions, I have always found the challenge to be Windows desktops. To build an open source alternative to the proprietary offerings, the big missing piece has always seemed to be software distribution and PC maintenance, e.g., LANDesk, Empirum, Marimba. Has anyone found a mature such open source product and especially one with ties to Nagios? - John -- John A.

Message-ID: Was the bug noted below ever fixed in a later Nagios 2.x? The changelog doesn't seem to indicate that it has. >From the Nagios 2.x documentation: Known Issues There is a known issue that can affect Nagios 2.0 on FreeBSD systems. Hopefully this problem can be fixed in a 2.x release... 1. FreeBSD and threads. On FreeBSD there's a native user-level implementation of threads called 'pthread' and there's also an optional ports collection 'linuxthreads' that uses kernel hooks. Some folks from Yahoo! have reported that using the pthread library causes Nagios to pause under heavy I/O load, causing some service check results to be lost. Switching to linuxthreads seems to help this problem, but not fix it. The lock happens in liblthread's __pthread_acquire() - it can't ever acquire the spinlock. It happens when the main thread forks to execute an active check. On the second fork to create the grandchild, the grandchild is created by fork, but never returns from liblthread's fork wrapper, because it's stuck in __pthread_acquire(). Maybe some FreeBSD users can help out with this problem. -- Mark Hennessy ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Windows requires a different whip to heel. I recommend two utilities - first one is WPKG (http://wpkg.org) which allows for the managing applications through their installation life cycle (installation-patch/upgrade-removal). The second being Unattended(http://unattended.sourceforge.net/step-by-step.php) is for creating OS builds for different parts of your organization. From the management perspective, your PC tech staff will be freed from day to day installations but swapped into maintaining the build server, OS install images, applications installations, and troubleshooting the application install. The payoff for doing this is to get an common install base no matter the turn over rate, repeatability from the install process, a simple install procedure (front loading the hard part of figuring out the options to standardize on during the package creation and the packages can be rolled out from a central place), less mistakes from junior PC techs (or the common thought of "I think this person should have all the games loaded because I like them" even though there is a corporate policy (policies without enforcement turn into dust quite fast) against loading them), and ease of adding new systems into the environment. Another application which may help in the quest for an Open source management infrastructure is http://ocsinventory.sourceforge.net/ OCS Inventory NG which will provide and inventory of PCs and the software loaded on them. This is one of those areas which hurts all IT pros: We spend are time providing tools/services to business, we forgot to provide tools/services to run the business of providing IT. Hope it is useful and Enjoy, Bill On 5/5/06, John A. Sullivan III wrote: > In my CIO/CTO positions, I have always found the challenge to be Windows > desktops.

If the listening service checks the incoming packet then there will never be a response as the UDP check package will not match the required ISAKMP content. So if one is to test the existing of ISAKMP then the check must attempt to setup a VPN to make sure the first response will match the protocol.

However, over time the inescapable exceptions have crept in. There are about 6 exceptions to the approx. 1260 service checks. Is there any way to express this in the nagios definitions anywhere? An example. Lets say hostgroup hg1 consists of 6 hosts -- host1 through host6. This hostgroup has 7 services -- s1 through s7. For some reason, host6 should not have sc1 checked -- how can I do this without pulling host6 apart from hg1? Is this possible? This is how I would imagine excluding host6 from service "s1" while still being a member of hg1: define hostgroup { hostgroup_name hg1 alias hg1 members host1,host2,host3,host4,host5,host6 } define service { name s1 use default hostgroup_name hg1 host_name !host6 } OR define hostgroup { hostgroup_name exception_sc1 members host6 } define service { name s1 use default hostgroup_name hg1,!exception_sc1 } Is this possible? Is it planned for the future? Does anyone have a work-around they are using? ~trask ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

It's like this with Monarch I have created a number of service templates, a number of services which are based on these templates and a host profile called "Windows Default Host" for instance (that is host on which by default a number of services should be checked. The thing is that the hosts (and thus the services) are distributed, and for location X I have contact group CG-X, for location Y contact-group CG-Y. Now in Monarch I can only enter contact groups at the service level. In that way I should duplicate every service for every location with another contact group. I can't imagine that I am the only one with this problem so what am I doing wrong here? So, what I really want: I want to define different Service Profiles in which the same services are included. But: I want to be able to override the service groups in these profiles. Is this possible, or should this be a feature request?

I've been using both nagiosgraph and nrpe plugins. Yesterday I added some new hosts and services. When nagios was restarted everything looked just fine, but after the next check all snmp and nrpe checks faild and i was getting errors like "Invalid SNMP version: 2c" and "(No output returned from plugin)" but every other time nagios checks the results got fine again. When I changed the hosts and services I was using a erlier version of nagios but now I'm using version 2.3 stable and the problem is still there.

Fruity is the light-weight brother/sister of Monarch, but works very well it provides an almost 1-on-1 mapping of the Nagios configuration files. I believe that the initial Fruity developer is now part of the Monarch team (am not sure about this). I think NagiosQL is ok but I stubled across some bugs (e.g. '\' handling in configurations) and I found the interface not very comprehensible. The above tools both work fine, and give you an option to easily configure your files. However, Monarch does more it adds features that are not supported by the Nagios configuration files that make it easy to maintain large groups of hosts and services, like service and host profiles, dependency templates, contact templates, etc.. Bases on my experience with the above I would most certainly recommend Monarch if you plan on having a large Nagios configuration. If not I think you should go for Fruity since it does give you enough to easily create you configuration in a very comprehensible interface. > Others? > Yes I have tried one more but can't remember which one it was..:) Remember, that all the above are just my personal experiences...

Message-ID: Hello list users. Maybe one of you can help me with this question. I defined a very simple check_http command as listed below: define command{ command_name check_qa_http command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -S } The matching entry in the services.cfg file is: define service{ use generic-service host_name qa.myhost.com service_description HTTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_qa_http } And in the hosts.cfg file, the entry that defines qa.myhost.com is: define host{ host_name qa.myhost.com alias qa.myhost.com address 172.x.x.x check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,r contact_groups admins } Now my problem. About 10 days ago we took this server that hosts qa.myhost.com offline to do some maintenance. I never told nagios to ignore the warnings or errors that the monitor for qa.myhost.com was throwing. After two days of showing that qa.myhost.com was "critical", the server came back on line, but nagios still shows the monitor for qa.myhost.com as being "critical". If I run the check_http command from the command line, it comes back fine. [root at eqnymon01:/usr/local/nagios/libexec:93]$ ./check_http -H qa.myhost.com -S HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 5160 bytes in 0.053 seconds |time=0.053020s;;;0.000000 size=5160B;;;0 So if this command comes back OK, why does nagios still read "critical", and how can I reset nagios? Starting and stopping the nagios process didn't do it. Can someone please help? Thanks. Mike R -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

First off, let me introduce myself. I'm the developer of Fruity, the Nagios configuration utility. I wrote Fruity when I was working in Las Vegas, implementing Nagios in a gaming enterprise. When Fruity was in it's earliest stages, Groundwork contacted me in regards to working with them. I joined their team. At the time, they were also developing Monarch, a Nagios configuration tool. They brought me aboard for my Nagios experience and in my experience in developing web applications. They continue to work on Monarch. During my time here, I continue to work on Fruity. Let me plainly state the facts: Monarch And Fruity are developed in tandem. They do NOT share any code. Monarch is written in Perl, Fruity is written in PHP. The Monarch author does not work on Fruity, nor do I work on Monarch. Yes, Groundwork is paying both of us to continue to develop each of these tools. Monarch is used in Groundwork Monitor, monitoring solution that Groundwork provides. Fruity continues to be a mostly community driven project that anyone can download and use immediately. They have different ways of approaching the same problem. Some people like Monarch, some people like Fruity. Fruity is in NO way in danger of collapsing because I work at Groundwork. Both tools are not planned to merge yet in the immediate future. Fruity is VERY much alive and has one of the most active communities for a Nagios configuration tool. It's enhanced templating system is extremely powerful and there are patches provided by the community which extend it's functionality. Monarch is a powerful tool which appears to be used more by larger enterprises. It has some non-nagios specific features that I'm not too familiar with. I'm hoping this clarifies some of the questions that come up. People may seem puzzled in why Groundwork would pay me to work on Fruity (which is not my only project here). They are dedicated to improving the open source field and driving innovation. I think the fact that they provide development of both tools is a sign of their respect for these tools (they could have easilly tried to shut down Fruity after I joined the team).

Message-ID: I'd like to give my Nagios server a virtual IP address, so that if we want to migrate the monitoring service to another machine in the future, it'll be easy (just setup the new machine and give it the same virtual IP). While nrpe can be configured to only listen on certain interfaces, I can't find any way to make Nagios send only on certain interfaces. Right now, it uses the primary interface only. So, is it possible to tell Nagios only to use a particular interface? Or is this at least coming in a future release?

As with almost every application, this is controlled by the routing tables of your Operating System. Unless you specify a more specific route out a different interface for your destinations, the OS will always route traffic out your default gateway interface, sourced from that interface. This question has come up before and though I am not authoritative on plugin development (which you are really talking about), it is almost certain that the plugins will continue to rely on the OS for proper routing. If you're restricting access on remote hosts by IP, (as we do), you can static NAT your nagios host IP at a firewall/other device or move the IP when you change hosts. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

First of all I must assume you are referring to the actions taken by the various checks. These are in fact regulated by the individual plugins so there is not a single way to solve this. Example: If my dns plugin calls dig to do the job then how do I run dig in the manner you describe? And will such a soulution work for other plugins? In general I think nagios expects your host to solve these issues. In your case you could considere working around the issue with NAT rules in the IP stack of your OS. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

I understand what you're trying to achieve - just set up a single ACL on your routers (for example) and have the Nagios service always query from this (virtual) IP, wherever it actually lives. For reasons stated before, this is almost impossible. The only way I can think of doing it is to set up a route definition on the Nagios host directing all traffic via the virtual IP, although that is rather messy. Here, we have Nagios on a virtual IP moving between two linux-ha hosts. NSCA listens to a port on the virtual IP. However, Nagios will query from the physical IP of whichever host it is on, so we have had to set up both physical IPs in the ACLs. I suppose you could set up a special subnet for your monitoring servers, and set your ACLs to allow that subnet. Or, if only certain checks (SNMP?) require this source IP, you might be able to modify the appropriate plugins to specify source route. However, it doesnt seem feasible to do it for all the plugins.

In-Reply-To: <003001c673ba$4f509430$8ea8d882@UoA.auckland.ac.nz> References: <003001c673ba$4f509430$8ea8d882@UoA.auckland.ac.nz> Message-ID: Thanks for the responses. I hadn't thought about the scope of the problem (ie that each plugin would potentially need to be modified). I think the scope could be somewhat contained by just modifying check_nrpe; that's the only plugin that relies on the client allowing a certain IP address. Right now, I think I'll just not worry about it too much, and change the nrpe.conf configuration on the clients when/if we have to.

Setup a 'nagios' user on the client with appropriate ssh keys on the server. Use forced commands in 'authorized_keys' for safety, and have the Nagios server log into the client to check what it needs to check. It's probably no harder than setting up SNMP (much easier if you're not familiar with SNMP to begin with), and it's more secure.

As with almost every application, this is controlled by the routing tables of your Operating System. Unless you specify a more specific route out a different interface for your destinations, the OS will always route traffic out your default gateway interface, sourced from that interface. This question has come up before and though I am not authoritative on plugin development (which you are really talking about), it is almost certain that the plugins will continue to rely on the OS for proper routing. If you're restricting access on remote hosts by IP, (as we do), you can static NAT your nagios host IP at a firewall/other device or move the IP when you change hosts.=20 -- Marc --__--__-- Message: 5 Date: Tue, 9 May 2006 14:51:34 -0500 (CDT) From: Paul Archer To: George Bryan cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Re: Help with different hostnames that are conflicting On Tue, 9 May 2006, George Bryan wrote: > This problem is happening again on me.

First of all I must assume you are referring to the actions taken by the various checks. These are in fact regulated by the individual plugins so there is not a single way to solve this. Example: If my dns plugin calls dig to do the job then how do I run dig in the manner you describe? And will such a soulution work for other plugins? In general I think nagios expects your host to solve these issues. In your case you could considere working around the issue with NAT rules in the IP stack of your OS. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

I understand what you're trying to achieve - just set up a single ACL on your routers (for example) and have the Nagios service always query from this (virtual) IP, wherever it actually lives. For reasons stated before, this is almost impossible. The only way I can think of doing it is to set up a route definition on the Nagios host directing all traffic via the virtual IP, although that is rather messy. Here, we have Nagios on a virtual IP moving between two linux-ha hosts. NSCA listens to a port on the virtual IP. However, Nagios will query from the physical IP of whichever host it is on, so we have had to set up both physical IPs in the ACLs. I suppose you could set up a special subnet for your monitoring servers, and set your ACLs to allow that subnet. Or, if only certain checks (SNMP?) require this source IP, you might be able to modify the appropriate plugins to specify source route. However, it doesnt seem feasible to do it for all the plugins.

I think the scope could be somewhat contained by just modifying check_nrpe; that's the only plugin that relies on the client allowing a certain IP address. Right now, I think I'll just not worry about it too much, and change the nrpe.conf configuration on the clients when/if we have to.

Setup a 'nagios' user on the client with appropriate ssh keys on the server. Use forced commands in 'authorized_keys' for safety, and have the Nagios server log into the client to check what it needs to check. It's probably no harder than setting up SNMP (much easier if you're not familiar with SNMP to begin with), and it's more secure.

Hello list users. Maybe one of you can help me with this question. I defined a very simple check_http command as listed below: define command{ command_name check_qa_http command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -S } The matching entry in the services.cfg file is: define service{ use generic-service host_name qa.myhost.com service_description HTTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_qa_http } And in the hosts.cfg file, the entry that defines qa.myhost.com is: define host{ host_name qa.myhost.com alias qa.myhost.com address 172.x.x.x check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,r contact_groups admins } Now my problem. About 10 days ago we took this server that hosts qa.myhost.com offline to do some maintenance. I never told nagios to ignore the warnings or errors that the monitor for qa.myhost.com was throwing. After two days of showing that qa.myhost.com was "critical", the server came back on line, but nagios still shows the monitor for qa.myhost.com as being "critical". If I run the check_http command from the command line, it comes back fine. [root at eqnymon01:/usr/local/nagios/libexec:93]$ ./check_http -H qa.myhost.com -S HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 5160 bytes in 0.053 seconds |time=0.053020s;;;0.000000 size=5160B;;;0 So if this command comes back OK, why does nagios still read "critical", and how can I reset nagios? Starting and stopping the nagios process didn't do it. Can someone please help? Thanks. Mike R -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

"load average" is the number of processes (average) in the wait state over a given period of time. For most UNIX machines, the periods are usually 1, 5 and 15 minutes. (e.g., in your example, in the past minute an average of 1.62 machines were waiting for a CPU, in the past five minutes, 1.67, and in the past 15 minutes, 1.74). In the example you give, it would appear your machine is catching up, as the short-term averages are lower than the long-term averages, but it all depends on your applications that are running, what cycles they demand CPU on, etc., etc. > The reason behind my question is that we are also using CACTI for > monitoring the systems and it shows a 100% CPU load since last > night while Nagios didn?t raise any alarm at all. I have to find > out whether it was a false alarm or there is a problem with my > Nagios setup .. It's confusing to refer to "100% CPU load" since load isn't measured in percentage (at least not in this case, not usually). Referring to it as 100% CPU usage, or utilization, might be better. For example, it's possible to have a CPU load of "0" and usage of 100%. How? If I've only got one process making use of CPU cycles, and it's getting 100% of the CPU. If there's nothing else waiting for CPU, the "load" will not be high, even though the usage (from the single running process) will be. In other words, CPU usage isn't necessarily as important as load is, although it certainly can be a factor in determining the cause of Load (because processes which are waiting on Disk I/O, or swap, also contribute to load). Hope this helps. Cheers, D -- Derek J.

Actually, it's the number of processes available to be run, that includes those running. (i.e. the Run queue). A 20 processor machine with one job per processor and each processor "running at 100%" is a load of 20 where the same machine, with the same 20 jobs running *and* 10 jobs waiting to run has a load of 30. And as Mr Balling rightfully said, it's averaged over 1min, 5min, 15mins by the OS itself. Now, this is what I've found on Solaris machines and Red Hat Linux machines along with the SGI machines I wrangle. It *is* possible that some other OS defines it differently. (a.k.a.

I mean when does it launch a Critical state ? I think that's based on the arguments you pass to check_load IIRC. I know in my environment, we don't even want to know about it til the load average gets around 15 on the 5-minute or 15-minute averages (spikes on the 1-minute average we don't care about, we know they happen, it's only an issue for us if they persist).

Actually, it's the number of processes available to be run, that includes those running. (i.e. the Run queue). A 20 processor machine with one job per processor and each processor "running at 100%" is a load of 20 where the same machine, with the same 20 jobs running *and* 10 jobs waiting to run has a load of 30. And as Mr Balling rightfully said, it's averaged over 1min, 5min, 15mins by the OS itself. Now, this is what I've found on Solaris machines and Red Hat Linux machines along with the SGI machines I wrangle. It *is* possible that some other OS defines it differently. (a.k.a.

I might be closer to answer my own question, but I think this is a "submit_check_result" issue, rather than NDO issue. Looking through the NDO source code, I see where it has the ability to write to the perfdata column. I think the problem lies within the "submit_check_results" command. It doesn't really send the performance data, but rather drops it. Here is my output: ./check_snmp_int -H 10.1.1.1 -C public -n -f em1:UP, em0:UP, exp0:UP:3 UP: OK | 'em1_in_octet'=381357882c 'em1_out_octet'=1161492429c 'em0_in_octet'=1464302566c 'em0_out_octet'=550763402c 'exp0_in_octet'=70379851c 'exp0_out_octet'=56255289c I think it has to do with the single quotes and the "|" (pipe) .

Hello Everyone, For some odd reason, I have it in my head that you can write performance data into the NDO tables via a service check command. I have looked at PerfParse, but quite frankly, adding on, yet another add-on seems like more work than it should be. I'm looking for bandwidth utilization type performance, uptime, interface errors, etc. I would like to write that the perfdata column for the ndo_servicestatus table. I can use the check_snmp check for the interface errors, and write the data. But I wonder if that's the correct direction. Am I off base here, or do I need another cup of coffee?

The important distinction here is "running", i.e. actually on the CPU. The STAT column in top tells you whether a process is running (R) or sleeping (S) (amongst others) and you'll find most are sleeping at any given time.

The "runnable" queue (used for load numbers) is defined as the number of jobs that could run "right now" if a processor was free to run them PLUS the ones that the processors are running now. As I remember, the percentage of CPU usage is measured by the amount of time that a job is not in the "runnable" queue but in the "running" position (or on a processor). > It appears, that I am posing questions beyond the context of > Nagios so I > will stop here :) appreciate though any more clarifications..

At this time, the other processes were not doing anything, nor waiting to do something. They were probably in idle mode, having really nothing to do... It is not because a process is in the "top" list that it is either using the cpu, or waiting for it. If I am wrong, please someone correct me.

It may depend on the OS, but most that I'm familiar with don't calculate load from waiting processes and use the run queue. So even running processes contribute to the load. A host with a single CPU-bound job should tend to 100% CPU and a load average near 1.0. Whether that should be an "error" depends on the application. -- Darren Dunham ddunham at taos.com Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

Yep. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/templaterecursion.html. Add 'register 0' to your template object. "register [0/1] The third variable is register. This variable is used to indicate whether or not the object definition should be "registered" with Nagios. By default, all object definitions are registered. If you are using a partial object definition as a template, you would want to prevent it from being registered (an example of this is provided later). Values are as follows: 0 = do NOT register object definition, 1 = register object definition (this is the default). This variable is NOT inherited; every (partial) object definition used as a template must explicitly set the register directive to be 0. This prevents the need to override an inherited register directive with a value of 1 for every object that should be registered." ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

It is something to do with LDFLAGS or *FLAGS not being correctly set on Solaris, by ./configure. I have this problem too, and even spending lots of efforts in finding out WTF was wrong, i ended up by compiling all by hand, placing the correct path to libssl and libcrypto. something like, copying the last gcc line, cd to the previous dir, and adding -L/usr/local/lib for gcc being able to find all those hidden libs :) HTH, M.

Please Help Message-ID: Hi All, This is a resend of a mail, that appears not to have made it to the list. I am have recently upgraded my nagios from 1.3 to 2.2, and am having trouble with nagiosgraph's insert.pl ever since. If I set up my process-service-perfdata command like so: define command{ command_name process-service-perfdata command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b\n" "$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERFDATA$" >>/var/log/nagios/service-perfdata.out } I get lovely lines of perfomance data, and can run these lines as a parameter to the insert.pl script like so and it logs the data in the appropriate rrd, and nagiosgraph.log (logging is turned on in the script). Also, I see the checks appear in the nagios log, as I have logging turned on in nagios. sudo -u nagios /path/to/insert.pl "1146750185||printer||PING||OK - 192.168.0.200: rta 27.302ms, lost 0%||rta=27.302ms;100.000;500.000;0; pl=0%;20;60;;" or su - nagios /path/to/insert.pl "1146750185||printer||PING||OK - 192.168.0.200 : rta 27.302ms, lost 0%||rta=27.302ms;100.000;500.000;0; pl=0%;20;60;;" However, with my process-service-perfdata command set to this, which is the same as I had it in 1.3: define command{ command_name process-service-perfdata command_line /usr/lib/nagios/nagiosgraph/insert.pl "$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERFDATA$" } no rrds are updated, nothing appears in the nagiosgraph.log, and nothing appears in the nagios log, but nagios still updates all the statuses. Firstly, has anyone had a similar problem with performance data in general, and secondly, can anyone see anything obviously wrong in what I have done? Googling has gotten me nowhere, the manual has put me on the right track in a lot of ways, but I can't fathom why the script is, apparently, not being run by the daemon, or dying off and killing messages going into the nagios log. Thanks in advance. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I looked att nagiosexchange.org and on google. NADA Anyone who has a clue how i can do this with SNMP or with NRPE ? We do it using pNSclient 2.x. Then you can check any perfmon counter. Alternatively, install the perfMIB stuff so that you can access the perfmon counters via SNMP, or install something like NC_Net which has both NRPE and pNSclient functionality.

I believe acknowledging will stop the notifications - in fact, it will send its own ACKNOWLEDGE notification. However, Hugo, I may be mistaken, but scheduling downtime when a service is critical still shows the service as critical in all reports, doesn't it? The breakdown shows scheduled versus unscheduled but the summary shows it as critical and an outage. As you did state, one could comment them out or, I suppose, add register 0 to their definition - John -- John A.

My solution here is to change the default web page to filter out Ack'd and Downtime'd hosts and services. I think that's a lot more "correct" a solution, personally. I would not like people falsely changing the state of services or hosts. Not to mention, such a false submission would be over-ridden by the active service check within 3-5 minutes. https://yournagioshost/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&hoststatustypes=15&hostprops=10&servicestatustypes=28&serviceprops=10&sorttype=1&sortoption=6 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You do not want to see each port. You might want to see each port if you run a tool like cacti to track the amount of traffic but that's it. In a normal network you take a switch as a single entity. Each host will have the switch as parent and the switch will have another parent. If the switch goes down so will all the host attached to it. And if just one or two hosts go down it is either a host, a cable or a switch port issue. The change of an individual port breaking down is not worth the trouble of having an entity set for each port. Even with templates it is quite a resource hog to keep it up-to-date. Some of the smarter switches will not enjoy getting a load of SNMP requests to verify each and every port. And if your switch is not SNMP manageble you will not even be able to get any status at all and this whole discussion is futile anyway. (Building and troubleshooiting network is what I do for a living.) If you monitor each switch port you will be in for surprises if someone plugs over a cable just to verify wether the cable, the host nic or the switch port is broken. Only paranoid type networks might even considere doing a portlevel check on the switch. But those networks have fixed MAC addresses assigned to each port and propably will not allow SNMP anyway. (SNMP being UDP and all. ;-) So in the 'real world' you considere your switch as a single entity and do not bother with the ports. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

There is no way you can do that from the left hand side menu. That is a static menu. You have to do some magic with the extended host information. So the link in the lefthand menu is useless.

A lot of switches and routers may show more latency on a ping to them then on traffic through them. They considere ICMP traffic to the switch to be less important. If you network is considerably larger then a single switch you want to use a tool like cacti and monitor bandwith usage on your trunks. Ping is a very poor substitute for measuring your network bandwitdh. But so is Nagios. You need a tool like cacti to solve this part of the puzzle. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

Come to think of it. I find this a rather peculiar target. I would say solving the problem is your target and getting all green accross the board with Nagios is the way to show it. Just getting everything green without solving the problem sounds rather shortsighted to me. Why bother to perform the checks? Just show some greenish static pictures and everyone is happy.

So, I plan on working on getting into it. Here's where my knowledge ends, unfortunately. The system we use is run by an entirely different company (inside the same corporation) and our interface consists of sending well-formatted mails. On top, it's a commercial software they use and as its used for quite powerful applications (like menu systems and informational phone systems in the area of several hundred concurrent users), it probably is prohibitively expensive for your use-case. But read on for another idea. > I have found one other application that did something like this, and > when I demod it, the voice quality really stunk, and I could not > configure what it said, etc. And, I did not like the monitor aspect of > it as well as I like Nagios. > > Just wondering if I am reinventing the wheel, or does someone has a > spare in the garage? I guess one area where you might find *nearly* what you need might be software answering machines, especially in the ISDN world. I privately use CAPISuite for my answering machine. I think coupling that with (say) Festival/mbrola etc. might just work for you. I don't know about their speech quality though.

It's a pretty easy thing to setup believe it or not. Here is what you need to do: Use Asterisk Have Nagios create a text file containing the error message: "Host X is down - service Y is not running" Place that in /tmp/nagios-error Create a .call file that dials out over a SIP provider, ATA Device, or FXO card, (OR T1 if you're really serious) that will dial your phone, and connect you to an extension (with recorded voice messages) that says there is a problem, press 1 to hear the problem, 2 to acknowledge the problem, 3 to call the next person on the list and so on.. Then listen for input. If they press 1, have Festival play the /tmp/nagios-error message and return. If they press 2, acknowledge the problem and don't call the next person on the list.. If they press 3, generate another call file with a different phone number. I happen to value my sleep more then any non-redundant servers, so I haven't implemented it here, but we do consulting and run both asterisk and nagios in-house if you're interested in getting some help.

I don't mean like a SMS message or the like. I figure I am more likely to answer my home phone ringing at 0 dark hundred than my cell phone's little email beeps. Also, that would let me alert others that are not actively watching the cellphone, blackberry, etc. I want the system to call my home phone and tell me: "This is your friendly office Nagios system. Host X is down - service Y is not running. The time is now 02:43. Get your butt out of bed and fix it!" I am thinking an interface with something like Asterisk might work. But, not having set up Asterisk before, I am not quite sure where to go. So, I plan on working on getting into it. I have found one other application that did something like this, and when I demod it, the voice quality really stunk, and I could not configure what it said, etc. And, I did not like the monitor aspect of it as well as I like Nagios.

For us, the problem is that with over 6,000 services and 5 different teams (Software, Networking, Infrastructure, Unix Administration, and Internal Development) all working with the same monitoring system, having the screens in the NOC showing problems that are already being actively worked on would be horribly annoying. For instance, the Network Team sees an alert about a router being down - before the router goes to Hard Down, though, 4 services get to a Soft Critical. They are on the problem and dealing with it, so they Ack it. The Software Team doesn't need to keep staring at the problem on the projectors at the front of the NOC, so such filtering allows a much more useful front screen. Not to mention, over here, that router is very likely at a client site, and they powered it off (either on accident or just without telling us) and we CAN'T fix it ourselves. And what about Downtime? We have Windows servers that need updates and whatnot - when they're in Downtime and go all-red, the NOC doesn't need to see that crap. And what about hardware failures on a primary server that gets temporarily swapped with an on-site spare? We don't need to see all-red spare servers for a week before they're replaced. Not to mention, our NOC is a "show piece" when the execs are touring clients around to show them how we watch the services we provide them. Having a bunch of Red/Yellow/Orange up there is no good, if we can help it. When we were <10 people (3 years ago) and worked in a room with no windows, this wasn't necessary (only about 600 or 800 services then, too). Now we're over thirty (closer to forty) people, a partially-glass-walled, tiered NOC and have the aforementioned 6,000+ services (and another thousand or so going in in the next month with more clients coming on board). So, it's all an issue of scale and what the needs of the individual team (or teams) need and want. Of course, it would just be easier if everything just stayed green, though :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I don't think the TAC view is meant for this. I would expect a NOC to use the host and service views with the proper filter. Pretty much like the default "Service Problems" and "Host Problems" menu items. If Nagios is this important to you it should not be that hard to find someone to write a tac.cgi variant with your custom filters build in or available as option. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

We use Nagios to monitor approximately 120 hosts with a total of 400 checks. This worked fine but when we have installed perfparse many checks appear to have problems. In some cases they are rescheduled without produce output. In other cases they simply do not work without even be rescheduled. Only a few checks go on working correctly, but, after a few hours, all the ckecks appear to stop working and rescheduling. The worse thing is that no error message is recorded on the event log. Other informations: - We use Nagios 2.1 and Perfparse 0.105.6. - Perfparse is scheduled in crontab every 10 minutes. Any ideas?

The special thing is that I need multiple checks for one service (two tcp ports and one http check) and the event handler has to restart the service if one check fails. The event could be called multiple times if more than one service fails. Do you think it is the right way to use check_cluster2 to prevent multiple handlers (meaning multiple restarts) to be executed? Only the service cluster has an event handler in this setup. Another question i have is: What would be the right way to determine if the service stops again some minutes after restarting? I want to send a notification after some restart attempts. Is the use of service flapping the right way? Is there an alternate possibility? thanks in advance matthias ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

To show both Unhandled Critical and Warning Service issues you could use a link like the following that combines both views -- http://your-nagios-host/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&type=detail&s ervicestatustypes=20&hoststatustypes=3&serviceprops=42 > After filtering them out, how would I know that they have recovered, does > it > reset the acknowledgment when a device comes back online?

I can get to the html stuff. Just not the cgi. I double checked my ./configure log and it looks like it pointed the url's to the right place. At any rate, I think part of the problem was that I'm not familiar with apache2 which is what I have it running on at the moment. I've used apache before but not 2. I noticed a sites-enabled and sites-available folders in apache2. It looks like they're for extra configs and are brought into apache2 by Include statements in the apache2.conf. I just commented those Includes out and now the errors I saw in the apache2 error.log (show up the same time as the not found errors on the browser) are gone. However they have now been replaced with: [Fri May 12 09:08:44 2006] [error] [client 172.16.20.172] File does not exist: /htdocs, referer: http://172.16.20.99/nagios/side.html. So it looks like my problem is more with my apache config than the nagios config.

I got it figured out by creating a custom view then adding an icon to the web interface. Everything is working as expected now and acknowledgments will make the error disappear and it when it comes back online then goes back down it does show up again, very nice.

This is how I am testing it: I enable ports 7 and 9 on the switch, there is nothing connected into these ports so it throws up a service error. In the description for the service error it shows both ports 7 and 9 down. I then acknowledge this service error and it gets removed from my view. I then disable ports 3 and 4 and the error does not come back letting me know that there is a problem on different ports. I am using the check_ifstatus to query the switch, is there a better way of doing this or will I need to set up a service for each port?

Acknowledgements are reset once a service or host returns to OK status. If you pass the option serviceprops to the status.cgi script, you can add a filter to the services. From cgiutils.h: #define SERVICE_SCHEDULED_DOWNTIME 1 #define SERVICE_NO_SCHEDULED_DOWNTIME 2 #define SERVICE_STATE_ACKNOWLEDGED 4 #define SERVICE_STATE_UNACKNOWLEDGED 8 #define SERVICE_CHECKS_DISABLED 16 #define SERVICE_CHECKS_ENABLED 32 #define SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER_DISABLED 64 #define SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER_ENABLED 128 #define SERVICE_FLAP_DETECTION_ENABLED 256 #define SERVICE_FLAP_DETECTION_DISABLED 512 #define SERVICE_IS_FLAPPING 1024 #define SERVICE_IS_NOT_FLAPPING 2048 #define SERVICE_NOTIFICATIONS_DISABLED 4096 #define SERVICE_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED 8192 #define SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECKS_DISABLED 16384 #define SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECKS_ENABLED 32768 #define SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECK 65536 #define SERVICE_ACTIVE_CHECK 131072 Just add together the options you want. Something similar exists for hostproperties. Therefore, if you do /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=248&serviceprops=8202 &hostprops=8194 then you will get all services in warn, unknown or critical, where neither the service nor its host is in scheduled downtime or has notifications disabled, and the service problem has not been acknowledged. If you add '&noheader' to the end then you cal lose the big heading section and see more alerts on the screen. This is for Nagios 1.x, but probably is the same in Nagios 2.x.

Since you seem to have all the answers how about this one: ;) I have a script that monitors all snmp messages and if I down a port and then quickly bring it back up I immediately see it in my log watch script, but nagios will miss it.

Dumb question probably, apologies in advance... I have a router, which I am currently monitoring snmp and ping on - i dont want notifies on the services, but only the host, but still want the services going down to trigger the host check etc etc if that makes sense? What's the "proper" way to do this? I.E, disable notifications for the service(s) altogether, or is there another way this should be done? I assume that since service checking will still be "on", disabling notifies on the service would accomplish what I want.. is that right...?

For a service notification: Line 666 of notifications.c /* run the command */ my_system(processed_command,notification_timeout,&early_timeout,&exectim e,NULL,0); The subroutine begins on line 575 -- /* notify a specific contact about a service problem or recovery */ int notify_contact_of_service(contact *cntct, service *svc, int type, char *ack_author, char *ack_data, int escalated){ Note that nagios has no idea what the command actually does. It just runs the command specified by the user's service_notification_commands. That may result in an e-mail, a page or anything else. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Nagios pipes notifications to sendmail for sending. As a test, construct a text file with the some representitive characters and redirect it into sendmail and have it send it to you. I suspect that the characters are being lost by sendmail, in which case it is your sendmail config that would need modification. -Jason Martin -- If the shoe fits, put it in your mouth.

I am using; nagios-plugins-1.4.2-1.2.el4.rf nagios-2.3-1.rf My check_ping command is as follows. define command{ command_name check_ping command_line /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ } define service{ name generic-service is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups mis notification_options w,u,c,r notification_interval 1 notification_period 24x7 register 0 } define service{ hostgroup_name * use generic-service service_description PING check_command check_ping!500.0,%10!800.0,%20 notification_interval 360 } I do not understand why the check_ping plugin would work for some hosts, but not others.

If you are writing this in perl, you can have your plugins timeout gracefully to prevent that. Nagios can be configured to time out plugins as well. -Jason Martin -- "Keyboard?

I am still adding services, but needless to say, over the past week I have created a lot of false warnings and errors. Is there a way to flush the existing data from Nagios so that now that I have all of the services working correctly (and no more error 127's) I can show the reports to others without them freaking out about all the critical errors? 2) Also, can anyone tell me why when I use $ARG1$ to pass the URI value for -u from the service configuration back to the check_http check I get HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request's, but when I hard code the exact same value for the URI in the checkcommands.cfg file the service works fine?

Message-ID: <1AE1A512FFFCB946BA664E1C922F776805ED0363@EAHQ-CSMB6.rws.ad.ea.com> Hi - We have a large SiteScope installation (we monitor several thousand servers with about 20 SiteScope machines) and are considering Nagios as a replacement. One of the issues we have is that we cannot, for various (mostly political) reasons, install an agent on the hosts we monitor. We have successfully tested agentless monitoring by using Perl plugins that SSH to the remote host and run a command, parsing the output. However, we cannot run as many monitors per server as in our SiteScope installation because of the latency incurred by setting up and breaking down the SSH connection for EACH monitor. So my question is, does anyone know of a reasonable approach to agentless monitoring using Nagios? We are planning to try SSH4, which automatically keeps SSH connections open for later use, and forcing Nagios to run several scripts sequentlially against the same host. But this has the problem that a host which is down, or busy, could delay checking other hosts. We would like, for many reasons (not just $$$, although that's a factor), to use Nagios, but having to install twice or three times as many servers to support it is out of the question. Any advice gratefully accepted.

Same deal with a variety of network tables... Even Cisco/Foundry/etc do a horrible job of having their devices process & generate ARP tables, etc. Even executing a remote command over SSH with the crypto overhead is faster in most situations (for me), and actually consumes less cycles on BOTH ends...

While I'm not aware of a way to do what you seek via authentication, there's a plugin for nagios that only allows certain people to modify things via the web interface.

See the -s flag and it's use with multiple -C commands. >Then again, check_by_fsh sounds nice too! Have to look at SSH4 >features now that you mentioned it Steve. One problem is that you have to keep a master ssh connection permanently open and mangage the connection if you aren't using fsh. For a lot of hosts (1000+), this could put a resource strain on the server as ports are taken up and 1000 ssh permanent ssh process are created. One thing that would also be nice for check_by_ssh would be the ability to use an ssh_agent for the keys. Sadly the current check_by_ssh sanitizes the environment a bit too well and removed the environment variables used to allow ssh to communicate with it's agent. -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I just did this in the .htaccess file for the nagios/share directory: AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users AuthGroupFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.groups require valid-user require group administrators Just make sure any user you want to be able to effect any changes via the web interface are in the administrators group. Users not in the administrators group will still see links and buttons to make changes, but won't have permission to do so. That solves one of your problems. I suppose for using /etc/passwd for authentication...you could always write a little wrapper for passwd and useradd in your system that does the usual stuff but also updates your htpasswd.users and htpasswd.groups files...

You can also leave notification to enabled, but set those service notification_options to "none". This would be cleaner looking, IMO because there would be no "notification disabled" icons in the TAC or next to the service. The net effect is the same. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Message-ID: Hi Guys, I have Nagios setup on FC4. I'm trying to get the basic minimal.cfg to work so that I have something to start from. cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/minimal.cfg is the only cfg file that i have left uncommented. I have copied minimal.cfg-sample -> minimal.cfg I have run nagios -v minimal.cfg and now errors where reported. However, when I click on any of the Webpage scripts on the left: /nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=all&style=hostdetail /nagios/cgi-bin/tac.cgi etc... I get the following error in the main screen: Whoops! Error: Could not read object configuration data! Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error: 1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check for errors. 2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file). Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org. It is strange, nagios.cfg lists my log file as: log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log But there is nothing there??? Any pointers as to how I can go about getting this minimal.cfg to work at least? Thanks! Chris ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I wrote some extra logic into the init script to wait for the processes to die (echoing a dot every second it waits..........). If it doesn't die efficiently, I open another SSH session and manually kill -9 the hung process(es). I don't know if reload would work or not, though. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I think you'll still need something like fsh as these directives appear to only help when you have multiple connections to the same host running concurrently, not when you want to cache a connection over a long period of time. -Jason Martin > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Martin [mailto:jhmartin at toger.us] > Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 1:12 PM > To: Eli Stair > Cc: Keller, Steve; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] "Agentless" monitoring with Nagios? > > On Tue, May 16, 2006 at 12:13:08PM -0700, Eli Stair wrote: > > in most situations (for me), and actually consumes less cycles on BOTH > > ends...

Your permissions and possibly users/groups are incorrect. The 'easy' way to set up nagios on fedora core 4 is 'yum install nagios' as it's a package in extras. Since you did it the hard way, you'll have to check permissions (selinux included if you're using it) and make sure that apache has access to nagios files etc. -- This message has been double ROT13 encoded for security.

So, I wrote a different plugin that uses Perl. The quickest way to do this is to just count the number of files in the postfix queue directory, although this requires the plugin to run with the appropriate group permissions (which I achieved by using a sudo wrapper). The postqueue (or mailq) commands take a lot longer because they parse the messages in order to output all the extra information, which you arent interested in.

I wrote some extra logic into the init script to wait for the processes to die (echoing a dot every second it waits..........). If it doesn't die efficiently, I open another SSH session and manually kill -9 the hung process(es).

This may or may not apply to anyone having Internal Server Errors but it certainly fixed my nagios. Summary: ======= Make sure your status.dat file (config variable status_file) is on the same filesystem as your temporary file (config variable temp_file). In fact I think nagios should enforce this. If the two files are on different filesystems and you have a lot of services and/or hosts you will get this problem intermittently. Essentially the status.dat file changes underneath the mmap'ed status.dat file used by many of the cgis. If you are only monitoriing a few hosts you'll probably get lucky because the copies take a very short period of time and hence the window for the fault to occur is very small. Perhaps nagios's my_rename function should copy the file to a temp name in the destination directory then rename the old to a new file if the filesystems are different. Long version: ========= At Weta Digital I have just started using Nagios to monitor our renderwall (currently around 1,500 machines - 9,000 services). We've been using nagios for our production servers for years. I was gettnig the 'Internal Server Error' quite often. I could easily reproduce the problem by running status.cgi from a debug script which looks like: #!/bin/sh REQUEST_METHOD="GET" QUERY_STRING='host=all&servicestatustypes=28' export QUERY_STRING REQUEST_METHOD gdb ./status.cgi I only had to run it about 10-20 times to get a crash like this: Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error. mmap_fgets (temp_mmapfile=0x8600c68) at cgiutils.c:1195 1195 if(*(char *)(temp_mmapfile->mmap_buf+x)=='\n') (gdb) p *temp_mmapfile $3 = {path = 0x8074050 "/var/tmp/nagios_ramdisk/status.dat", mode = 1668573559, fd = 7, file_size = 11087473, current_position = 1570370, current_line = 69104, mmap_buf = 0xb737c000} (gdb) At this point the file had changed size - in otherwords the file changed under the mmap - which is a recipe for SIGBUS's I then spent some time trying some different mmap options and thinking about clever solutions to this and then decided I needed to figure out exactly what the nagios core does with the status.dat file. (Which I should have done to start with of course :-). This is what i found: {106} # strace -e trace=file -p 28007 |& grep status.dat rename("/var/cache/nagios2/nagios.tmp18dGu2", "/var/tmp/nagios_ramdisk/status.dat") = -1 EXDEV (Invalid cross-device link) open("/var/tmp/nagios_ramdisk/status.dat", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 10 rename("/var/cache/nagios2/nagios.tmplQrHE5", "/var/tmp/nagios_ramdisk/status.dat") = -1 EXDEV (Invalid cross-device link) open("/var/tmp/nagios_ramdisk/status.dat", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 10 rename("/var/cache/nagios2/nagios.tmpACHJEk", "/var/tmp/nagios_ramdisk/status.dat") = -1 EXDEV (Invalid cross-device link) open("/var/tmp/nagios_ramdisk/status.dat", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 10 At this point it was obvious. I had put status.dat on a ramdisk for performance reasons but didn't move the temp_file. So nagios was creating the new status.dat (called nagios.tmp.XXXXXXX) file in a different filesystem. The rename fell back to copying the file between filesystems. This was causing the SIGBUS because the file shrunk underneath the mmaped file. I don't have these faults anymore now they are both on the same filesystem. Hope this helps someone!

Message-ID: Hello, A couple of the CGI binarys are not honouring the cgi.cfg file directive for authorized users. My cfg.cfg contains these two lines: authorized_for_all_services=* authorized_for_all_hosts=* which should theoretically give access to anyone who authenticates to the webserver, (which is configured to use Kerberos). The problem is, some CGI's are not honouring the wildcard, nor do they honour a specific username. I went into contacts.cfg and made my contact name match the REMOTE_USER name (which meant adding the @FQDN.COM to the end of my username) and suddenly I can see all the hosts for whom I am a contact. I understand that this is the default behaviour, but I would like to know why the cgi's are either not reading or ignoring the config file. The CGI's in question are: Statusmap.cgi Trends.cgi Histogram.cgi History.cgi Summary.cgi Other CGI's do honour the "authorized_for_all..." directives: Status.cgi Statuswrl.cgi Avail.cgi Anyone have any ideas?

Dumping the text of e-mail with notifications to file shows that text with broken KOI8-R text of HOSTALIAS goes from NAGIOS. Also, I use inserted a text in KOI8-R (russian word instead of "Group: ") to host-nofity-by-email command and it's shown correctly in message. I had same problem with statusmap.cgi. A function that parses plain text to HTML compartible breaks KOI-8 text to unreadable. I turned off that funtion. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Are all Perl plugins failing or only check_ntp ? IIRC there has been quite a lot of comment about check_ntp; it may be worth checking the thread on gmane (there may be a better check_ntp than the one with 1.4.3 plugins). There is an embedded Perl diagnostic with Nagios called new_mini_epn. It is a C binary that emulates the part of checks.c that runs Perl plugins. To use, cd into the directory containing new_mini_epn or copy it to /tmp or convenient place. cp p1.pl into that dir (if its not there). [sh1517 at acisf011 tmp]$ ./new_mini_epn plugin command line: (the program supports readline so arrow history works etc.) My copy of check_ntp doesn't work -it's not a plugin used here - so I can't check it out. >Any hints, > >Frederik > ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Probably not the best way, but adding the header to the source fixed the problem on 1. Something from configure probably should have been involved. On 3., Solaris does not know a .o extension as an executable.

I feel like I must be missing something obvious because it doesn't seem like I have so many services that the servers cannot keep up. As can be seen from the data below, the server with the most service checks has the highest latency (usually in the neighborhood of 700 seconds! -- this is pre-production). Is my problem really this simple? I have a feeling that is isn't just the number of checks, but I cannot figure out why my latency values are so terrible. Overview of my setup: There are 4 servers. 3 distributed servers (nag1, nag2, nag3) at 3 distinct geological locations send all their check information via NSCA to a 4th, central server (nag4). The connections between all of these servers are very high-bandwidth and are no where near saturated. The only unclear spot to me is the effect that our hardware VPN/tunnels might have, however the worst performing server (nag2) is on the same LAN as the central server (nag4). Nagios v2.2, latest plugins and NRPE/NSCA as of today. I am running embedded perl with perlcache enabled. Number of hosts/services: nag1: 43/130 nag2: 193/1743 nag3: 78 / 780 nag4: (central server - active host checks, passive srvc checks) Performance Info: nag1: Metric Min Max Average Check Execution Time: 0.00 sec 20.04 sec 0.024 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 1.01 sec 0.011 sec Percent State Change: 0.00 % 17.17 % 0.01% nag2 Check Execution Time: 0.00 sec 929.13 sec 1.246 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 1180.67 sec 560.462 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 55.59% 0.07% nag3: Check Execution Time: 0.00 sec 101.70 sec 0.310 sec Check Latency: 0.00 sec 602.57 sec 46.023 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Machine load numbers: nag1: load average: 0.05, 0.08, 0.02 / mem: 470 / 512MB physical ; not swapping nag2: load average: 0.50, 0.61, 0.59 / mem: 330 / 512MB physical ; not swapping nag3: load average: 0.25, 0.52, 0.56 / mem: 330 / 512MB physical ; not swapping Machine hardware: 1Us running Fedora Core 4 / P4 2.4GHz / 512MB RAM / 40GB ATA 8MB cache 7200rpm drives Ok, that is all I can think of off the top of my head. I have reviewed the performance tuning tuning doc (from here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/tuning.html), but I am open to trying things again / in a different way. I can list off what I've done in response to that doc on a point-by-point basis if anyone is interested.

At the risk of sounding fanboy-ish, there's a metric assload of decent nagios information here -> http://altinity.blogs.com/ including several good patches that help to tweak nagios in various ways.

Also, thanks for the link Jim, there is some good information there. (Doc) 1. Use aggregated status updates. (me) Doing this. (Doc) 2. Use a ramdisk for holding status data.. (me) Not doing this -- the doc says if "you're not using aggregated status updates", so I skipped it. Does anyone have any experience with how helpful this would be? (Doc) 3. Check service latencies to determine best value for maximum concurrent checks. (me) Currently set at 500 -- I've set it to 0 (no limit) and I have done all the calculations and set it to 15% above the number of concurrent checks I should need based on the timing. Doesn't ever seem to have any effect on latency. (Doc) 4. Use passive checks when possible. (me) About a third of our checks are passive (nrpe, that's considered passive, right?). (Doc) 5. Avoid using interpreted plugins. (me) I use built-in plugins whenever possible, but otherwise it is a Perl script 90% of the time. Some of them are pretty complex, but... (see #6) (Doc) 6. Use the embedded Perl interpreter. (me) I am doing this and using the "perlcache" option. In fact, I haven't even tried our setup without using the embedded perl interpretter, so I might end up trying that out. (Doc) 7. Optimize host check commands. (me) Did this -- currently using check_fping with "-n 1" and retrys at 8. I don't actually have any numbers before I did this, so I don't know how much help it has been, but when I first read about it, I was hoping for a lot more gain than I got... (Doc) 8. Don't schedule regular host checks. (me) We don't. (Doc) 9. Don't use agressive host checking. (me) We don't. (Doc) 10. Increase external command check interval. (me) This is set to -1 right now on all of our hosts, but this is probably only sensible for our central server (nag4). I will experiment with changing this to 10 seconds on our other servers and see if that helps. (Doc) 11. Optimize hardware for maximum performance. (me) P4 2.4GHz, 512MB RAM, 7200rpm IDE drive w/ DMA enabled. Is there a good way to see the current IO activity of the disk to see if it is being hammered? "top" shows the CPU and memory at very reasonable levels. Anyone have other tips? Do my responses to these tuning recommendations seem to make sense?

I've noticed we get this problem when there are more than one or two hosts down. Because Nagios (we use 1.2) does host checks first, and sequentially, a host check timing out can hold up everything else (we have >3000 checks to run every 5 minutes). To help out with this, I've reduced the timeouts and number of pings to check hosts (so a host down takes less time to identify) and tried to educate people to disable host checks when they know a host will be down for a long time. Finally, I do a restart of Nagios every day or so which resets the latency back to 0. Not ideal, but it helps. I'd rather host checks were done in the same way as service checks, but I can see why they aren't (to allow the system to not run service checks for down hosts).

The questions are typically * What machine do you run nagios on ? * Any hints about monitoring this many machines. So .. What machine do you run nagios on? ========================== We use a dual proc (single cores) 2.8GHz Xeon IBM Blade server with 4GB of RAM (I thought it was 6GB - sorry about that Patrick) for the renderwall monitoring. Typically though we only use about 3GB of the 4GB. Reloading or restarting nagios takes about 5 minutes with 1500 hosts, 9000 services (approximatey). During which time you can see a single CPU at 100%. We run debian gnu linux on this machine with a 2.6.15 kernel. I tried the 2.4 kernel but got rid of it early on as part of debugging it. I'm currently running nagios 2.3. All services except the host pings are checked using passive checks. We check on various Weta specific things related to rendering on each machine. It's all perl run from cron. Once nagios is up and running It is rare to see more than one CPU being used. In other words the bladeserver is not sweating under the load. That CPU will hit 100% about 1/4 of the time. Any hints about monitoring that many machines? =================================== Do not process perfdata. -------------------------------------------- This was a killer. I discovered to my surprise that nagios will run /usr/bin/printf to record performance data. This meant that every time a passive check sent a result back to nagios it would start a subshell and run /usr/bin/printf to record some data. This is a killer with 9000 services being checked every 5 minutes. If I needed the performance data I think I would hack nagios to recognise /usr/bin/printf in a checkcommand and replace it with the library call - obviously this would have to be done carefully to handle various shell things (like >> etc). Spread out your passive checks. ----------------------------------------------------------- We run our passive checks every five minutes. Perhaps a little aggressive. We had to spread out the passive check start times using a random sleep before starting them. At the moment the passive check scripts will sleep between 0 and 3 minutes before starting up. This spreads the load nicely. Adding more hosts will just be a matter of spreading these out more until I have to change checking every 10 minutes instead of every 5 minutes. For now though that's not necessary. Caveats ======= We do no notification from nagios for the renderwall. The wranglers use the web pages to monitor the machines. (Obviously we notify for our production nagios instance but that's a much smaller problem). Hope this helps, --------- Bill Ryder System Engineer Weta Digital. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Unfortunately the situation as I see it is, 1 I am running 2.3 not 2.3.1 and so my limited Perl plugins (home-brew) may not be picking up the problem. Also I lack a Nagios work bench at the moment so its going to be slow if heavy lifting is involved as it seems. 2 A quick glance at the CVS does not seem to show any relevant changes 2.1 there appear to be no changes in checks.c near the embedded Perl code 2.2 the change to p1.pl was only to allow plugins to return more than one line of output (the nagios-snmp plugins do this I think). 3 If Michael or Frederick would enable the LOGGING options in the copy of p1.pl they use for new_mini_epn (perldoc p1.pl should help). IIRC you want to change this p1.pl to have use constant DEBUG_LEVEL => LEAVE_MSG ; and make sure the plugin log path looks Ok. This will leave messages like Mon Mar 6 15:43:39 2006 run_package: "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rootport -H 10.0.254.167 -N BRUSW200" returning (0, "Ok. No topology change: root port of 10.0.254.167/BRUSW200 has not changed from that expected: 513. See Current spanning tree graph. "). Mon Mar 6 15:43:39 2006 eval_file: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rootport already successfully compiled and file has not changed; skipping compilation. Mon Mar 6 15:43:39 2006 run_package: "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rootport -H 10.0.254.170 -N MTASW200" returning (0, "Ok. No topology change: root port of 10.0.254.170/MTASW200 has not changed from that expected: 0. See Current spanning tree graph. "). Mon Mar 6 15:43:39 2006 run_package: "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rootport -H 10.0.254.168 -N MTASW207" returning (0, "Ok. No topology change: root port of 10.0.254.168/MTASW207 has not changed from that expected: 1. See Current spanning tree graph. "). in the log file (also named in p1.pl). This should provide some clues. The only quick workaround that may be worth a _try_ is to replace pl.pl for an older one from CVS (say 1.7). However, I am not confident. Perhaps my installation is a bit atypical: every one of the 2.0 series (inc betas) has been in prod use with either heavy or light embedded Perl without a hitch. The last random thought is, could you have changed Perl or Text::ParseWords around about the time the problem started ? This module is responsible for argument processing and this appears to be breaking. OTOH, if it was the culprit, all versions would be b0rked.

I could see how that would be an issue, though. I have turned off all logging, state retention, performance data handling and backed off all timing parameters to their defaults (or even less aggressive timings). In a separate test, I changed only the command_check_interval from -1 (check as often as possible) to 10 seconds. Both have had seemingly no effect. At this point, they 2 main servers I am looking at have been running for 30 minutes and latencies are up to 540 seconds for the "bad" one and 48 sec for the other one. My next step will be to recompile with the latest nagios and try that. If that doesn't show an improvement, I'll try w/o perlcache. Lastly, I'll try without the embedded perl interpretter at all. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
