Out of curiosity, have you tried simply sending an email to your
phone/pager/whatever-it-is? For example, a Sprint phone can recieve an
SMS message sent to an email address like
5551234567 at messaging.sprintpcs.com

Have tried various solutions like this - the one I used was from
sms2email.com. The problem with all of these products is that they go
from
Email to SMS.... what happens if your Email fails?

I have actually managed to get this smsclient.org solution working by
changing the timeout of the notifications within nagios.cfg

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

What are your settings in nagios.cfg for the folowing params?

This is a tricky issue. 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.

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 am successfully using the software from smsclient.org to send text
messages to mobile phones manually using the following command:

sms_client vodafone_tap:1234567890 "Message Text"

This work brilliantly but I have tried to integrate this into Nagios
with no success :(

I have created the following notification command within my
misccommands.cfg file:

# 'host-notify-by-sms' command definition define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-sms
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios

$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/sms_client vodafone_tap:$CONTACTADDRESS1$
        }

I have then got the following within my contacts.cfg file:

define contact{
        contact_name                    1533
        alias                           Peter Shankland

        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands
host-notify-by-email,host-notify-by-sms
        email                           peter.shankland at ricoh-rpl.com
        address1                        447977906721
        }

Finally, this gets called within one of my hosts.

I get the following within my syslog messages:

May  9 09:51:51 RPL-RENAULT nagios: HOST ALERT:

and the following within the Nagios Event Log:

Everything appears to be working but I get no SMS text message. Am I
doing something obviously wrong as I simply want to run the command at
the top of this Email.

Thanks.

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.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] how to use snmp

I can't give you any advice one way or the other on SNMP; however, you 
might want to look at the alternative of using ssh for monitoring. 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.

to use snmp to monitor remotely our server, can anyone give advice what
is the good plugins and how do you do that? I cannot use NRPE because
the server is production. We cannot installed any application not
relevant to work.

how can I know if I can check it using snmp ???? i tried snmpwalk, is
this enough?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problem running .configure with version 1.4.2 of
nagios-plugins...

Hello again list users.=20

I have a problem when I run the .configure command with version of =
nagios plugins. This is the string I am using to run the configure =
script:

./configure --prefix=3D/usr/local/nagios --with-nagios-user=3Dnagios =
--with-nagios-group=3Dnagios --with-cgiurl=3D/nagios/cgi-bin =
--with-mysql=3D/opt/mysql/mysql


When I run this script, I see the following:

checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: WARNING: Skipping mysql plugin

 Needless to say, when I run make all, the check_mysql plugin doesn't =
get included. I have MySQL 5.0.18 installed in /opt/mysql/mysql.  Any =
ideas how I can get around this problem? Thanks in advance.=20
