I can't speak for OpenNMS, but I think for Nagios the answer for a lot
of your questions is going to be:

"There isn't a way of doing this with the standard nagios plugin
package, but someone has probably written a plugin that does this,
check the Nagios Exchange site."

Obviously.

This isn't a standard nagios plugin, however somebody has a plugin that
does this, a quick google search found:

http://ubermonkey.wordpress.com/2006/09/28/nagios-nmap-plugin/

> % Not all tests all the time: some tests should run less frequently

You can define the check_interval on a service by service basis.

> copies of these pages, report "big" differences...

I'm guessing you'll have to code this plugin yourself in nagios.

This is becomming a frequently asked question on this list.  Various
people have written plugins to do this, but it's been my experience
that most people who need this end up writing their own.

> % For machines running popd/imapd, simulate login to confirm

See default answer.  A quick google search found this page, which
confirms authentication on pop/imap.

http://www.jhweiss.de/software/nagios.html

> % Monitor files in /etc (eg, passwd, shadow, crontab) for changes.

You could do this with tripwire and then write a plugin that reads
the snmp trap, or trap logfile.

You can do this with nagios.  You can check every five minutes and
not go to a hard failure state until the check has failed six times.

Wget pages, diff previous version...blah? Sounds easy enough. I think
I'd appreciate the plugin myself!

Or, you could use check_rootkit plugin from
http://nagiosexchange.org and rkhunter from
http://www.rootkit.nl (comes preinstalled on
SuSE Linux 10.x).

Subject: Unnecessary host_name and for type loops/multiple
	check_commands?
Message-ID: <26face530704011714q73107ebar45ebd9aa8b55b87b@mail.gmail.com>

Thanks to everyone who suggested nagios-- I have now started using
it... so here come the newbie questions...

I'm paranoid that someone will attack my DNS providers, so I want to
confirm my hostnames look up correctly. I wrote this command:

; this is different from check_dns
define command {
 command_name confirm_dns
 command_line check_dns $ARG1$ -s 63.226.12.96 -a $ARG2$
}

which confirms that a given hostname resolves to a given address using
the public DNS server 63.226.12.96.

Here's one service that checks this:

define service {
 use service-defaults ; just a bunch of trivial defaults
 service_description DNS-HOST1
 host_name localhost
 check_command confirm_dns!host1.mycompany.com!1.2.3.4
}

My questions:

% Is "host_name localhost" really necessary here? There's no reference
to $HOSTADDRESS$ anywhere in confirm_dns, but if I don't define
"host_name", nagios complains.

% I want to check about 20 hostnames.

 % Any shortcut to writing 20 6-line "service" definitions?
 % Can I use a for loop or something?
 % Use multiple check_command's in a single service (doesn't seem to to work)?

Of course, I can write a Perl one-liner or something to populate the
config file, but that seems kludgey. Having looping behavior in the
config file directly would be really useful for other reasons too.

First off, let me say that I am in no way a Nagios expert and I'm in the 
process of setting up my monitoring environment as well. But I will do 
my best to help point you in the right direction.

To my knowledge you must specify the host_name directive.

You may want to look at the service templates, here's a few different 
URL's that point to the documenatation on this.

You'll need either a hostname or hostgroup that the service belongs to.

If you'll be otherwise monitoring those 20 hosts, you can put them in a
hostgroup and assign your check to the group so it runs against all of
them.  Otherwise, you'll need to specify 20 different service checks.

I believe that this statement is incorrect. I see no reason why having
enable_notifications=0 will disable any event handler functionality. While
event handler commands and notification commands are defined in the same
manner, they are executed in different contexts by Nagios. If enable
notifications is false, then Nagios will not attempt to execute the command
that defines a "notification method" for the contacts associated with a
service/host. However it will still execute the event handler commands
associated with the said services/hosts as long as event handling is
enabled.

Hi there.

It is posible to make nagios to do some things when it detect a 
problems? I mean, if it detects one service stoped, I want it to try to 
start the service in addition to notify me by email.

Thanks for your help.

That is what's known as an "event handler"

Subject: detecting which node causing packet loss.
Message-ID: <3f8ec11c0704021118j48af5b22iffd1044f9c3125f3@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

We have a network of routers,bridges, DSL  and wireless nodes .. the
usual mix. about 700 hosts in total. The idea is to monitor as
accurately as possible all services with as little checks as possible.
Here is what I'm doing::

checking the service on the most remote hosts in each branch, or leaf.
so no need to check parents, so i don't really need to check any of
the intermediate links as long as i can reach the end user. So out of
the 700 hosts, I'm only checking services on 150 servers(PPPoE, NAT,
RADIUS, whatever .. ) , and  some 50 simple check_ping, check_load etc
etc on only important backbone links.

The rest are just means to an end, I set them  as parents, no services
defined  on them, they are just there to show if i cannot reach some
end point, leaf, it shows me who is the blocking host. I only want to
start checking intermediate nodes when the link is bad to some end
node, or leaf, otherwise, i don't want to look at it. That's working
fine, when a host is unreachable.
But when I'm reaching it with high latency, its a different story. To
detect why I am reaching that host with such high latency, What must I
do?

I think, please correct me if I am wrong, add a check_ping service for
every node on the network. Every child must have a check ping
dependent on a check_ping  on the parent. So i must define N service
dependencies dependencies, if i have N parents.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

I cannot figure out how to get Nagios to compile with GD.  GD is on my
system and I'm using just fine with MRTG.  I've even installed the
gd-2.0.28-1.2.bp.fc2.i386.rpm and gd-devel-2.0.28-1.2.bp.fc2.i386.rpm
for my Fedora Core 2 box in hopes that it would be added into the system
in some way that I'm not thinking of, but that doesn't work.  I see the
same thing every time:

Checking for main in -liconv... No
Checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)... no 
Checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 2)... no 
Checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 3)... no 
Checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 4)... no

I can see the libraries in /usr/lib and /usr/src but even when I point
them manually and try to recompile I come up short.  I'm running out of
things to try.  Am I missing something?  As always, thanks for the
support!

Mike

You're either missing headers, have conflicting headers installed
already, or have a libgd without PNG support built in.

This one is *really* old. I'd suggest to find something newer and try that.

Which RHEL is that, and where did you find the gcc package?

The best thing to do is start with reading Nagios' manual. Then, try the 
plugins on the shell.

Then, add things together - put the necessary things in the 
configuration file.

If it doesn't work then, report your problem - including relevant 
configuration data, system information, and faulty output.

Apart from that I can only confirm that I do know how to use plugins, 
and I can also confirm that some of them are very useful.

Message-ID: <c4515bfd0704022146s4f5f0a45y1a4da4be20177bca@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

I just finished updating the sourceforge site with the new install for
NC_Net.
I have not had a lot of feedback from testers, but I have done a lot of
testing myself.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net
The document section of NC_Net on sourceforge also has been updated.

there should not be a lot of issues with this release.
I urge everyone, (who uses NC_NEt) to at least try it out on one Host.

This update had a lot in it, the end of this message has the updates and
fixes list.
Some of the big things, are a improved EventLog check, Passive Host checks,

WHats New in NC_NEt v4:

-Added new password system
-Moved writing Event Log Entries from NC_NEt to a seperate thread.
-Writing to Event Log now has Error checking and Handling, in case it fails.
-Moved some Global Variables to local.
-Added a configurable timmer into the Counter Check (this allows for more
accurate Counter results)
-Added Passive Host Checks
-Removed Error reporting From The Embeded_send_nsca (the Error Reporting is
handled in the Wrapper call to this class)
-Converted Send_nsca Event Log Entries to Warnings instead of Errors.
-Enhanced Check_nc_net with -a to allow for more than 1249 bytes by printing
directly to output when recieving string is full.
-Fixed External_send_nsca, now it allows for a space in the path.
-Fixed the Event log entries for when passive_always_on so that it does not
report Testrun info.
-Added functionallity to Passive checks to allow for any command to be
redirected to the Active checks. (this is a fallthrough for when the command
is not explicitly defined as a passive check but it exists as an active
check)
-Modified The Accept_IP_List so now it also acceplts FQDN
-Added a Timout to the NC_NEt Active check commands recieved via the active
check socket.
-added GETALLCHECK (added in 3.05) this is an active check that reports back
the results of the last passive check of each <Service Desc> that was run.
-ECHO command added
-RUNSCRIPS (added in 3.05) has a Syncronous counterpart, This one does not
have its own TImeout, it must use the Active check TImeout.  but it allows
for running some scripts that fail with asyncronous output.
-Added EVENTLOG_NEW this is a new and improved EventLog check, it is issued
as a new command because the expected input has been simplified.
-Added WMICAT_NEW this will give a different output than WMICAT. it is
expecting a paired list of Label,Attribute.   and give result of
Label="attrubute"
-Added Command FIles this allows for running a series of check that were
preloaded into a config file. issueing the active check calling one of these
files, will run the commands in the file and then return the results in one
concatinated output.
-Added CHANGEPASS for changing the password since it is handled differently
than prior versions of NC_NEt.
-Added -l to passive check CLIENTVERSION
-Modified Working Directory of RUNSCRIPTS to be the Script directory.
-Pruned some of the older extra documentation files out of the project.
-Modified the existing Documention files.
-Added DOCUMENTATION.HTM as new Starting point of Documentation (with new
commands only)
-Added new Welcome screen to the installer.

Hiya.

nagfs is an event broker module, which implements a filesystem interface to the
current status of a running Nagios daemon. This means in a nutshell that you
can query the status of a given service or set of services using everyday shell
tools like find and grep.

Each host is represented as a directory in the filesystem. Each host directory
contains a file for each service nagios is monitoring on that host. Each file
contains a single number representing the state of that service.

For example, once nagfs is running, you can list all the services currently in
a critical state by typing:

grep -rl "2" /usr/share/nagios/status/local

The numbers are what you'd expect ( 0:OK, 1:Warning, 2:Critical, 3,Unknown). If
the service is in a soft state a "servicename.soft" file is created with the
soft state status number. Each host directory also contains a HOST file which
contains the current status of the host itself.

As a second example, you could get a list of all the services Nagios is checking with:

find /usr/share/nagios/status/local -type f

This is a handy thing, and much easier than scraping html for the same info.
nagfs registers for SERVICE_STATUS_DATA and HOST_STATUS_DATA updates from the
Nagios server, which means that the nagfs filesystem is immediately brought up
to date upon Nagios startup, and is always perfectly in sync with Nagios's
memory state. 

It's released under the BSD license. The tarball is available on nagios
exchange, and my blog http://www.skeptech.org

Nagfs was originally the brainchild of Jeremy Blosser, who implemented it as a
collection of shell scripts called via global event handlers. I found it so
useful, and became so attached to it that I eventually forgot it wasn't
actually part of the core Nagios package. I later re-implemented it as an event
broker module as an object lesson for the addison wesley nagios book I
authored, and refined it as part of a larger nagios clustering project called
"nagimesh", which is not yet complete. However, I find nagfs so indispensable
that I decided to release the source as a stand-alone NEB module, in the hope
that you may too someday forget the time you've already spent without it.

Check INSTALL in the tarball for installation instructions. It is assumed that
you have a working Nagios implementation which has been compiled with the
--enable-event-broker configure switch. I have several Nagios servers running
versions of Nagios from 2.0alpha1 to 2.8, and nagfs works with all of them, so
it ought to work for you if you haven't ventured into 3.0 territory yet. I
haven't taken a look at the 3.0 event broker code yet, so for all I know
it could work (if you try it and it works for you let me know).

Have fun!

This sounds *very* interesting!

Thank you for your work - I'll proably give it a try when I find the time.

Hi Arno,

Yes, it's quite old and there's newer :)
It's RHEL 4 and unfortunately it's without any Update :(
Probably applying update 3 or 4 might help?

Subject: nagios web-interface
Message-ID: <8410377599.20070403151931@sama.ru>

There is other system of monitoring in which condition of services and hosts is displayed
in the form of a matrix. At the left names of hosts, at the top of the name of services.
It is convenient because the matrix allows to place a plenty of the information within
the limits of one screen. http://www.sama.ru/~niky/opt/mon.gif In nagios a similar opportunity has not found. In a window
" all problems "  at the left the name of a host and more to the right in a
column of the name of services and their statuses.
This column in case of several problems at once in the screen does not hold any more.
Whether is not present in ???????? an opportunity to have the information on statuses
of services in the form of a matrix? Whether there are for it in general-environments
alternative a web? Whether solved someone similar problems? The Greater request to answer
if there is an information on the given question.

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the link.
I will try to solve my problem from here...but it seems to be the problem is
rather around the os level.
It is the base RHEL 4 installation and does not contain any Update.

Thanks,
Jozsef

Subject: nsca PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT problem
Message-ID: <401998.35286.qm@web33210.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi.

I have problem regarding nsca and PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT. 
Actually I configure nsca using standard procedure and everything works fine except PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT.
(nagios 2.8, nsca 2.71)


- nagios.cfg

ocsp_command=send_service_check
ochp_command=send_host_check


 - cat /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/send_host_check
-------
#!/bin/sh
# Arguments:
# $1 = Hostname of the host (using the $HOSTNAME$ macro)
# $2 = Host Status ID of the host (using the $HOSTSTATUSID$ macro)
# $3 = Output of the host check (using the $HOSTOUTPUT$ macro)
/bin/echo "$1","$2","$3" | /usr/bin/send_nsca -H IP_ADDRESS -c /etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg -d ","
-------------

- cat /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/send_service_check
--------------
#!/bin/sh
# Arguments:
# $1 = Hostname of the host (using the $HOSTNAME$ macro)
# $2 = Service Description of the service (using the $SERVICEDESC$ macro)
# $3 = Service Status ID of the service (using the $SERVICESTATUSID$ macro)
# $4 = Output of the service check (using the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ macro)
/bin/echo "$1","$2","$3","$4" | /usr/bin/send_nsca -H IP_ADDRESS -c /etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg  -d ","
------------

- misccommands.cfg:
---------------
define command{
        command_name send_host_check
        command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/send_host_check $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATEID$ "$HOSTOUTPUT$"
}

define command{
        command_name send_service_check
        command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/send_service_check $HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATEID$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$'
}
-------------
If I simulate host down I  got HOST_CHECK from nagios.log on remote host:

EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT;server1;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

but regularly,
it  is triggered like it is service check, and PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT is not performed at all.

[1175605177] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;server1;0;0; RTA = 0.18 ms
[1175605177] Warning:  Passive check result was received for service '0' on host 'server1', but the service could not be found!

Message-ID: <16C0BF72F86DB841A2BF675BCC2E1CD2D8769E@ex01.jewels.local>


I am looking to install the latest version of Nagios (2.8.x).  I would
also like to collect statistics to determine trends during our peak
times.  Can the group please direct me to any "nutshell" documentation?
Also, any recommendations on how to architect a Nagios environment for
RHEL/WebSphere & HP-UX/Oracle would be appreciated.

 

Cheers!

Subject: checking multiple log files
Message-ID: <2274b9c30704030828i5210b67aocd6dde3f2812b1b1@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I need to check for a string in multiple log files.  The names of the
log files will contain a constant string, and be located in constant
directory.

Currently I am using the check_logfiles plugin with the following configuration:


@logs = (
  {
    tag => 'mqrefused',
    logfile => '/var/mqm/exits/logs/.*.log',
    rotation => 'solaris',
    warningpatterns => 'refused',
  }

);

@logs = (
  {
    tag => 'mqfdcprobe',
    logfile => '/var/mqm/errors/.*.FDC',
    rotation => 'solaris',
    warningpatterns => 'Probe Id',
  }

);


The only problems are that, the output does not contain the offending
string/line, and the status is set to UNKNOWN when a string isn't
matched.

One thought was to write a wrapper for check_logs.pl which does

for i in `ls *.log`

do

output=`check_logs.pl -f $i -s /tmp/$i.tmp -p "blah"`
printf $output\t

done

This should print all of the output... I can work out the exit status
as well... but this isn't ideal

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Kyle

Hi,
    I would suggest writing your own plugin if it's this specific & you
know what you're looking for.  What you're wanting to do would be pretty
easy in perl (but I'm not sure what output you're looking for exactly).

here's my really quick, ugly, untested implementation =):

use lib '/usr/nagios/libexec';
use utils qw ( %ERRORS );

my @files;
push @files, (glob ('/var/mqm/exits/logs/*.log'),
              glob ('/var/mqm/errors/*.FDC'));

my %errors;
for my $f (@files){
  unless (open FILE, $f){
    print "can't open file $f!\n"; exit $ERRORS{'UNKNOWN'}
  }
  my $counter = 0;
  while (<FILE>){
    $counter++;
    if (($f =~ /log$/ && /refused/) || ($f =~ /FDC$/ && /Probe ID/)){
       push @{$errors{$f}},$counter
    }
  }
  close FILE;
}

if (!%errors){
  print "OK!\n"; exit $ERRORS{'OK'}
}
else{
  for my $key (sort keys %errors){
    print "$key: errors at lines ", join ',',@{$errors{$key}}, " ";
  }
  print "\n";
  exit $ERRORS{'CRITICAL'}
}

Hi Josh,

Thanks very much, but I went the lazy route.

I modified the following in check_logfiles:

from:

        #  maybe a rotation situation, a typo in the configfile,...
        trace("could not find logfile %s", $loginfo->{logfile});
        $lastmsg{UNKNOWN} = sprintf "could not find logfile %s",
            $loginfo->{logfile};
        push(@{$matchlines->{UNKNOWN}}, $lastmsg{UNKNOWN);

to:

        #  maybe a rotation situation, a typo in the configfile,...
        trace("could not find logfile %s", $loginfo->{logfile});
        $lastmsg{OK} = sprintf "could not find logfile %s",
            $loginfo->{logfile};
        push(@{$matchlines->{OK}}, $lastmsg{OK});



I was mistaken about the output.  It does print the last offending
line, but it's found in the 'performance data' output instead.
Running it from the cmd line its printed after the '|', checked
perfdata, and voila.. right there :)


Thanks again,
Kyle

Message-ID: <19AB668060DF3D439833C2F4C305162044F141@sbs-server.office.spry.com>

Hi All,

 

I have a little bit problem with service dependency syntax


Let's say I have the following host

 

Host 1 with SSH and PING being monitored by nagios.

 

If nagios check that if PING does not reply, then do not check the rest
of the services (SSH,SMTP and WEB).

 

The current config:

 

define service{

        use                             host-generic-service

        host_name                       newton.domain.com

        service_description             PING NEWTON

        check_command                   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%

}

 

define service{

        use                             host-generic-service

        host_name                       newton.domain.com

        service_description             SSH NEWTON

        check_command                   check_ssh

}

 

define servicedependency{

        host_name                       newton.domain.com

        service_description             SSH NEWTON

        dependent_host_name             newton.domain.com

        dependent_service_description   PING NEWTON

        execution_failure_criteria      w

        notification_failure_criteria   u

}

 

Will this do it? Or am I missing something?

 

Thank you.


Rudy

For some reason i'm scheduling downtime for hosts but i'm still getting 
service notifications...
Anyone know why?

It's kinda of annoying.
I mean if the host is scheduled for downtime all the services for that 
host shouldn't be notifying me right?

any help would be great thx.

You might missed sth configuring downtime.
- How much is your down time expected?
- When?

and how are you defining this?

Could you give details?

Double-check that the downtimes are taking effect and that you don't
have two instances of Nagios running at the same time.

I'm just going to the nagios front end choosing schedule downtime
putting in hostname
my name
comment
start time and endtime so for instance i put from 11am to 1pm today.
then putting in flexible downtime
then hitting commit
it shows up in the downtime afterwards

Yeah i double checked that the downtime were in the downtime file and 
everything and i checked the front end to see if they appeared on list. 
i did a ps -ef|grep nagios to see what was running and there's only one 
daemon running

Subject: shell script plugins and list archives?
Message-ID: <4612CA20.50809@cwa.co.nz>

Hi there,

For one thing I was trying to recollect how to write a shell script for
a nagios (nrpe) plugin. I can't find any of the documentation I used to
do this before and I don't have access to the nagios config where I set
 this up.

I also don't find any info in the FAQ nor in the nagios documentation...
(this is for version 1.something)

Clues please :)

I went to the mailing list archives but they don't seem to work..

From:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users

the link "Visit the Nagios-users Archives" appears to be broken.

Well here is a link to the plugin development specifications:

Reading those should tell you all you need.

nrpe doesn't have any special requirements.  It's designed to run 
standard Nagios plugins.

The biggies are that it should output one line, and conform to standard
Nagios exit codes.  Details are here:

Hi there.

I use the doc. about event handlers and I define this one:

# SERVICE CLAMD
define service {
         use generic-service
         host_name       MYHOST
         service_description CLAMD
         check_command   check_clamd
         max_check_attempts 2
         event_handler   event_clamd
}

# COMMAND
define command {
         command_name    event_clamd
         command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 
event_clamd $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
}

And, on the remote machine I configure nrpe.cfg like this:

command[event_clamd]=/data/general/nagios/libexec/event_clamd $ARG1$ 
$ARG2$ $ARG3$

Also, I put that script (event_clamd), with 755 permission. This script 
write to a file in /tmp in order to see if it run or not. I see it don't 
takes the args (SERVICESTATETYPE SERVICESTATE...), so I try to run the 
script by hand like this:

libexec/check_nrpe -H MYHOST -c event_clamd OK HARD 1

And I see it run but it doesn't get that arguments (OK, HARD, 1). I try 
also:

libexec/check_nrpe -H MYHOST -c event_clamd -a OK HARD 1
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs 
for error messages.

Any help?

By default NRPE will ignore any passed command arguments. Have you made sure
that you have dont_blame_nrpe set to 1 so that command arguments are
allowed?

In addition, nrpe need to be built with "--enable-command-args".
It's all in the new doc's:

Message-ID: <4613B89A.7010603@insors.com>

Hi,

I am looking for a way to monitor the status of software raid (such
as md0) using snmp? Primarily I would like to check for a "failed" or 
"degraded" status. I am wonder how Nagios admins are doing this.

Thanks,
Andrew

HI Everyone, 

 

I was wondering if any one can point me to a place where I can find a

Thanks,

What did you find on your server using snmpwalk?

Hugo.

Sharepoint uses a number of SQL Server databases to store configuration
and data so you can check them using the usual tools - check_mssql.sh in
the standard plugin distribution for checking connectivity or by
querying the performance counters for more detailed info.

I'm not aware of any Sharepoint specific plugins.

Hi, 

You can try to use chek_raid[1] plugin wrote by Steve Shipway with the
net-snmp exec[2] directive. This plugin is previously designed for NRPE
but you can successfully use it with Net-SNMP, I guess.

I recently upgraded from 1.0b to 2.7. I noticed that immediately after
my daily log rotation, the current state of all hosts and services is
entered in the log file. As I have thousands of hosts/services, this
makes the log (in my case) unnecessarily large, and was hoping to find
an option to prevent those states from being logged.

Here is a sample of entries I am referring to:
[04-04-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT SERVICE STATE:
<hidden>;Ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 51.00 ms
[04-04-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT SERVICE STATE:
<hidden>;Ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 212.99 ms

The documentation references the "log_initial_states" entry in the main
configuration file, which seems like it should control this option. But
as you can see by my config file below, it's disabled. Should I be
looking at a different option(s)? 

Thanks.

I wrote 3 scripts to monitor Raid arrays on 3ware, Lsi MegaRaid, and 
Linux Software (MD) Raid which it sounds like you are using.

I use these on both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux servers

you can find the plugins here

do these plugins require NRPE?  I was hoping to get raid status out of 
SNMP somehow.

Subject: adaptive notifications
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0704041756570.15427@tisserand.ncuk.net>

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to do adaptive notifications on monitoring a single 
service so that it notifies differently based on different criteria.

For example, monitoring a network port bandwidth usage, we want an alert 
if between:

? ?0000 to 0559 - its 12Mbps+ for over 30 mins
? ?0600 to 2359 - its 5Mbps+ for over 3 hrs OR 8Mbps+ for over 30 mins

I can obviously do this by setting up 3 different services with the 
appropriate variables and query the thing 3 times, but thats not a 
particularly nice solution if you want to monitor hundreds of ports..

The other option I see is to have the checking script do the processing of 
this, and then hand it off as critical or warning or whatever to nagios 
which then alerts on first status change, but that seems to be part way to 
building a replacement to nagios ;-)

Anyone have any suggestions on other ways to do what I want to do?

Cheers,

john

If you're running net-snmp (and given that you're running linux, you 
probably are), then it's fairly trivial to get it to execute 
a command and return the result when a certain oid is queried. See the 
snmp conf file for examples.

Subject: Nagios dying
Message-ID: <088770FF-9BD3-4248-AD93-25CE1EC21519@frontierflying.com>

A while ago I installed Nagios 2.4 on a somewhat minimal (don't  
remember the specs, but old) OpenBSD 4.0 box. For the most part, it  
appears to work fine- latency is a nice low .328 seconds on average,  
with an average execution time of 4 seconds. The execution time might  
be a bit high, but it doesn't appear to cause any issues. The only  
problem is that, from time to time, Nagios will simply die. The logs  
show normal operation right up to the time it dies, and there is no  
real indication that it isn't running, except that the last check  
times don't change and a look at the process list shows no Nagios  
processes. Now, I have written a script that checks for this and  
restarts Nagios if necessary, but it would of course be preferable to  
stop it from dying in the first place. I realize that this isn't much  
information to go on (more presumably available on specific request),  
but I was wondering if anyone had seen similar behavior and could  
give me an idea as to how to fix it? Thanks

Unfortunately I think you've covered all the traditional way of doing this.
I guess it comes down to your preference of the lesser of two evils as to
which you implement.

Perhaps another option for you is to look at using a NEBModule. This could
change the command line definition for your service check_command based
around the time of day. This is possible as NEBModules have access to all of
the internal object data stores in Nagios by interfacing directly with the
daemon.

As you say not much to go on. Obviously something is causing Nagios to die.
I've just had a quick look at the change list for later releases > 2.4 and
there are some bug fixes for seg faults which presumably could cause Nagios
to die silently. It may be worth updating to the latest and greatest version
to see if this solves your issue. If this isn't possible, then I guess an
inspection of the Nagios log file to see what it was doing last before it
died is in order.

cheers

Hi All:
         I am a newbie using the NAGIOS 2.1. I tried setting up the software
and was successfull in installing nas configuring it. I have few questions
regarding the usage of the software:

I was looking at the features and would like to investigate if these things
can be possible and how can they be achieved:

1)       Network Logs

2)       Hardware failure and faults

3)       Scheduled Maintenance

4)       Automatic Notification

5)       Ease of use as it has a simple web interface

6)       Show different user privileges for different users so that each
user can maintain his own server if required

7)       General System monitoring

Any Leads?



Best Regards,

Sri

All of those subjects are covered in the Nagios documentation. You
should probably give it a thorough reading.

You might want to look up your snmpd.conf file and see how one

Curious of it's the log rotation HUP signal that is doing this. Does it 
do the same thing on a restart of nagios?
Also, have you tried shutting down nagios, checking for any old nagios 
processes hanging around and killing them off, then restarting?

I'm setting up Nagios to monitor services in several sites around the
world, and would like to configure the notifications to only be sent to
specific people (mail aliases) based on their daylight hours. This would
essentially be sending notifications to my team in Israel, or India
while my team is sleeping in San Jose.
 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Check the docs for how to set a notification timeperiod, then associate 
it with your contact groups.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#timeperiod
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact

That should be easy enough to do from reading the documentation.  Each
contact has a defined 'service_notification_period' and
'host_notification_period' where you can specify the time period to
allow notifications.

I'm having the same problem with my installation of 2.7 on OpenBSD 4.0. It
dyes silently. 

I do notice in the logs it tries to restart after and can't find the .pid
file. 

[1174798800] LOG ROTATION: DAILY
[1174798800] LOG VERSION: 2.0

Then it dies, I have to manually restart it. Sometimes this shows up in the
log also

[1168546261] /var/run/nagios/nagios.pid does not exist (ENOENT)

I then look for the /var/run/nagios/ dir and its not there, so I 

Mkdir /var/run/nagios/
Chown _nagios:_nagios

And restart the daemon. 

My guess Israel, is that you got the installation from the packages on the
OpenBSD website, which has been packaged up as chroot version. I did the
same, then upgraded to 2.7, but followed the dir structure of the chroot
installation and I'm still having the problem. 

Does anyone know if there is a problem running Nagios in chroot? Or the fix
for our issue here?

As you say not much to go on. Obviously something is causing Nagios to die.
I've just had a quick look at the change list for later releases > 2.4 and
there are some bug fixes for seg faults which presumably could cause Nagios
to die silently. It may be worth updating to the latest and greatest version
to see if this solves your issue. If this isn't possible, then I guess an
inspection of the Nagios log file to see what it was doing last before it
died is in order.

Presumable you want to check the database because you want to know that
share point is running.
You can check the SQL service easy enough, and check the HTTP service is
running, you can check the results of the webpage, but authentication
may be an issue.
You could use NRPE to run a vbscript to check the db too.

Hi,

I have one problem after installing and running nagios, actually its running but the the graphics of the page showing the host details and services details are not getting displayed.

One more thing as iam doing this nagios installation on my laptop only, so i added the host as my windows wireless adapter. Now iam not able to understand how can i see the details of this host and how to configure the services of this host.

Thanks for your time.

Hello Mukta,

I had faced the same problem,I think you have installed through the RPMS

please try to install by tarball and its very easy  
If you are using redhat please follow this document 

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/documentation/misc/Nagios%20Install%20on%20Redhat%20EL%204.doc

I've designed them with NRPE in mind but it doesn't really matter, you 
can execute them via snmp and retrieve both the output and the status 
code as normal.

see http://www.kilala.nl/Sysadmin/retrieve_custom_snmp.php for details.

 Sorry about the missing subject...

It does seem to be caused by the log rotation signal. The entries are
not re-created on a restart, nor on full clean shutdown and restart.

Curious of it's the log rotation HUP signal that is doing this. Does it
do the same thing on a restart of nagios?
Also, have you tried shutting down nagios, checking for any old nagios
processes hanging around and killing them off, then restarting?

Subject: Socket timeout issue
Message-ID: <000801c77780$1413ce30$280a000a@7digital.local>

Hi All,

Can someone help out with my CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds
issue.

I have Nagios running on a Debian server, runs tests to Windows Boxes OK.

I am attempting to do remote checks of an Debian server.

I can telnet on port 5666 to the remote server, netstat -l reports: 
tcp        0      0 *:nrpe                  *:*                     LISTEN

I can run this check on the remote server:

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.10.200 -p 5666 -t 30
check_disk # NRPE v2.0

What information/configurations files do you need from me?

Regards
Paul Roberts.

aren't you missing a -c before check_disk?

typo on command line or typo in email?

You wouldn't happen to be running it with a database back-end would  
you? I had an identical problem on Debian while using the Nagios/ 
Postgres package. There seems to be some kind of bug somewhere in  
this Debian package that causes Nagios to frequently and silently  
die. Once I removed the Postgres back-end, Nagios became stable again.

post your nrpe config

is your nrpe tcpwrapped? run as daemon or from inetd/xinetd?

Subject: event_handlers through nrpe?
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.64.0704050847230.6194@technetium.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu>

Can anyone point me to a HOWTO or other documentation for setting up an 
event handler that runs on a remote machine (probably through nrpe)?
I've gone over the docs for setting up a local event handler, but 
translating that to a remote handler is just not working for me right now.

thanks,

Paul Archer

my event handlers run over ssh but this doesn't seem difficult to do at 
all, just create an event handler script, copy it to the remote machine 
and then put a command in the nrpe.cfg for that machine.

[event_handler_name]=/path/my_event_handler_script.sh

then create a checkcommand like so

define command{
    command_name    blah_event_handler  
    command_line        check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c event_handler_name
}

then just add the line

event_handler    blah_event_handler

to the service definition

that should sort it.

how do you mean if nrpe will work locally?

if you want to use nrpe on the local machine you can just give it the 
hostname or the ip address (but you can't use "localhost" as it will 
fail in the SSL handshake)

Hi All,



Can someone help out with my CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10

I have Nagios running on a Debian server, runs tests to Windows Boxes OK.



I am attempting to do remote checks of an Debian server.



I can telnet on port 5666 to the remote server, netstat -l reports: 

tcp        0      0 *:nrpe                  *:*                     LISTEN



I can run this check on the remote server:

check_disk # NRPE v2.0



What information/configurations files do you need from me?

if that is the nrpe on the remote machine then check_disk won't work cos 
you've defined check_disk1 and check_disk2 in your nrpe config.

also, isn't the allowed_hosts option unsupported now?

isn't the proper way to do that to tcpwrap it in xinetd? (which is what 
I do)


what problem are you having specifically. tell us what you are typing 
and what result you are getting...

if you are running it through xinetd like you are supposed to then there

This was a new feature introduced in 2.0 to reduce the amount of time
that a host or service status would be UNDETERMINED for reporting.
Previously, nagios couldn't determine the state of a host or service in
a log file unless that host or service changed state. This required
users to manually set the first assumed state for accurate reporting.
This fix makes that unnecessary. AFAIK, there's no way to disable it
outside of code editing.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html

"Logging changes - Initial host and service states are now logged a bit
differently. Also, the initial states of all hosts and services are
logged immediately after all log rotations. This should help with all
those "undetermined time" problems in the availability and trends CGIs."

Subject: cgi auth problems
Message-ID: <e62701950704050725h79cf72pfa7672d5a939b66b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys,

I have a debian sarge with nagios 2.8. Everything works fine, except one
thing: sometimes, without any reasons, i have the following message on the
nagios web pages:

 "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for
any of the services you requested...

 If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file."

I checked in the ml or the forums, i saw a lot of complaints about that
(without solutions) or misconfigured nagios, but i'm sure my nagios is
correctly configured.

The auth is set to 1 in the cgi.cfg, and i put a * for the "authorized
people".

/nagios/etc is readable & executable by nagios.www-data. So, even the apache
group could access to the etc directory, where is the cgi.cfg

By the way, is there any way to check the uptime with the nrpe daemon of a
linux node?

Regards,

Ben

I looked at that but I can't see the xinetd folder on Debian, should it be
there by default?

if you are running it through xinetd like you are supposed to then there is

how do you mean if nrpe will work locally?

if you want to use nrpe on the local machine you can just give it the
hostname or the ip address (but you can't use "localhost" as it will fail in
the SSL handshake)

I suppose I should have been more explicit in my first email. The problem 
I'm having is not with the basic chain of commands, but with all the 
environmental variables/macros. Figuring out what to put where to get the 
$SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ data all the way to 
the remote machine is giving me a headache.
Perhaps using ssh is the way to go...

Subject: Could not connect to MySQL database
Message-ID: <461519F4.7060805@openstream.ch>

Hi there,

I've installed Nagios 1.3 under Debian Sarge. The nagios.log file states 
that

[1175786914] Error: Could not connect to MySQL database '' on host '' 
using username '' and password 'XXXXXX' for downtime data!


I found this FAQ entry and followed the instructions

http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=228

but still the error message remains the same.

 From where is Nagios taking username and password?

Any pointers as to where else I could look would be very much appreciated.

Cheers, Nick

cgi.cfg and resource.cfg.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xdata-db.html

You are using a very old version of nagios. Unless you specifically
require the database support of that version and are comfortable mostly
supporting yourself, you should use a recent release. With the release
of 3.0 approaching, you'll find fewer people are able to help you with
1.3.

They're taken from your config files.  I quick search for the failing
password should show you exactly where.

you'll likely have to apt-get install xinetd which will uninstall inetd, 
so you should probably check if you have any services running through 
that (or any backdoors running through that ;-) )

if you do, you can convert the inetd config to xinetd with the itox command.

actually now I think about it, nrpe isn't well suited to this, you'd 
have to enable command args to pass those and that is considered a 
security risk.

you'd be better off using ssh keys.

on fact, my event handlers run on my server with ssh keys to kill or 
restart something on another server.

Check the docs for how to set a notification timeperiod, then associate
it with your contact groups.

Dear Folks,

Would anyone like to comment on the use of NDOUtils (Nagios 2.x or
later) for availability reporting ?

I believe that NDOUtils inserts rows representing down times in an MySQL
table, making it much easier for DIY reporters to produce reports.

I am currently using an event handler for adding outage records to a
table but I am not happy with this method.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

NDOUtils will take the majority of the data associated with your Nagios
installation and send it to a database for you (currently only mysql is
supported). You can store information about your current setup,
notifications, current host/service status, the results of checks etc. With
this information in a database you are free to do what you want with it. I
believe the current plan is to leverage the data that is stored in the
database to faciliate a complete overhaul of the current Nagios frontend.

There is absolutely nothing stopping you from putting together your own
application that makes custom graphs, custom reports based around the data
available to you. You can use whatever language you like, through whatever
presentation medium you like. You are simply limited by the connection to
the database, and as I assume you will be managing the database, this
shouldn't be a problem.

Quick question: We like to submit passive checks from a Windows server,

something like that exist or should we proceed in another way?

We have a bit of a different approach:
We use sms-client and we have standby-groups for different expertises (ie.  
standby-windows, standby-unix, etc). So, we do not change anything in  
Nagios, instead we make changes in the phonebook of the sms-client. All  
standby-contacts are defined in that addressbook, with their number and a  
3-character abbreviation of their names. We simply move the right name to  
the right standby-category, and that person receives the sms-alerts.

What might be interesting to think about, is the possibility to create a  
schedule, so that Nagios (or a third party tool) will modify the  
configuration to have the alerts send to the person that has standby. In  
other words: automate the process of managing standby phonenumbers.  
Unfortunately, things like holidays, people calling in sick, etc will make  
this probably less usefull...

A simpler option is to use NSCA Win32Client found on Nagiosexchange:

<http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Communication.41.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=141&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=10%3A10>

I used it in the past and it works just as well as the Linux client.

(i sent this mail yesterday, i wanna just be sure everyone saw it ^^)

Hi guys,

I have a debian sarge with nagios 2.8. Everything works fine, except one
thing: sometimes, without any reasons, i have the following message on the
nagios web pages:

 "It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for
any of the services you requested...

 If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file."

I checked in the ml or the forums, i saw a lot of complaints about that
(without solutions) or misconfigured nagios, but i'm sure my nagios is
correctly configured.

The auth is set to 1 in the cgi.cfg, and i put a * for the "authorized
people".

/nagios/etc is readable & executable by nagios.www-data. So, even the apache
group could access to the etc directory, where is the cgi.cfg

By the way, is there any way to check the uptime with the nrpe daemon of a
linux node?

Regards,

Ben

It's a mailing list. Everyone that wanted to see it did... ;) Generally
when you don't get a response your request is too vague, you haven't
provided enough information and asking for it is too tedious, you
haven't indicated what troubleshooting you've done and the results, it's
a FAQ or nobody has seen the problem as you describe it.

Does nagios show you logged in as the user you expect? Do you see any
errors in your HTTP error log? Is nagios restarting or reloading when
you see this notice? Is there anything consistent about when it's
happening? Those are some good starting points for troubleshooting.

There are many complaints and many solutions. 98% of the time it's user
misconfiguration. For something intermittent like you're reporting it's
likely to be something unusual and hence, hard to diagnose without more
troubleshooting on your part.

How about the nagios var directory? All those files must be readable by
your webserver. That's were the CGI's are reading the object and status
data.

Here, I've googled for you --

Hi Benoit,

Like Marc said, this is a mailing list and not everyone posts get an
answers, Also this is typically a busy week for many  Americans; being the
week before Easter Sunday.

I have been experiencing a similar issue to yours.
for more information that may help clarify your issue,
you go to do something through the Web interface and you get the permission
error page thingy
then after tinkering for a bit you may(may not) get it working but latter it
fails again.
I found this was due to my configuration,
The /nagios/var/rw directory was owned by a nagioscmd group
while most my configuration and settings were using the nagios group.

I am still working on trying to fix this conflict but my symptoms were
similar to what you described so I think your problem may be a
similar source.  I just installed Nagios last week,  so I am also still
working through some of these minor issues (that I probably induced myself)
I just used the change owner command on the RW directory and the
nagios.cmdfile to change their group. I hope this resolves the issue
but I am still
testing.

TOny

Hi All,

I downloaded the latest NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc3a, and failed miserably
to get it working. In the process I lost my NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc3,
which worked perfectly. The nagiosexchange website doesn't seem to have
the older versions available.

So, does anyone have NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc3 available?

Cheers

This is excellent.

While the availability CGIs are excellent they do not

1 facilitate arbitrary presentation of the data (without say importing
the CSV output into a DB)

2 allow the combination of the outage data with other information such
as links to 'trouble ticket/service desk (for the ITIL inclined)'
systems for combining the outage data with other views of the 'incident'
(such as WTF caused it).

Having the outage data in tables should lead to an explosion of third
party/community developed reports and presentation frameworks in the
same way that the very clean architectural divisions in Cacti has lead
to that products extensibility and popularity.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely.

Subject: NRPE: Could not complete SSL handshake
Message-ID: <4618A492.1050708@mailnetwork.co.uk>

Hi,

I'm running NRPE 2.7.1 on a Fedora 6 machine.
My Nagios 2.8 server is talking to it fine, and all NRPE checks are 
succeeding.

However, every 5 minutes I'm getting the following error logged in my 
/var/log/messages log on the FC6 machine:

Apr  8 08:33:58 acs20aa6 nrpe[23649]: Error: Could not complete SSL 
handshake. 5

Yet when I look in my /var/log/secure log (which stores every command 
run through sudo from NRPE), I cannot match the SSL handshake error to a 
time of a check attempt from my Nagios server, e.g. for the above error:

Apr  8 08:31:10 acs20aa6 sudo:   nagios : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; 
USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_uptime
Apr  8 08:31:10 acs20aa6 sudo:   nagios : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; 
USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dns -H 
portland-1.andyshellam.eu -a 89.200.137.203 -t 5 -w 3 -c 5
Apr  8 08:31:10 acs20aa6 sudo:   nagios : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; 
USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 5,4,3 -c 10,8,6
Apr  8 08:35:18 acs20aa6 sudo:   nagios : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; 
USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 25% -c 10% -p /
Apr  8 08:35:19 acs20aa6 sudo:   nagios : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; 
USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 1:1 -c 1:1 
-C named
Apr  8 08:35:19 acs20aa6 sudo:   nagios : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; 
USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_swap -w 25% -c 10%
Apr  8 08:35:32 acs20aa6 sudo:   nagios : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; 
USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c 200

As you can see, there is no check being carried out at 8:33 (the time of 
the SSL error.)  Plus there are no failing NRPE checks on the Nagios 
server for this host.

I'm baffled.

I've just checked on 2 of my other machines, which are running NRPE 
2.7.1 on Fedora 4 and FreeBSD 6.1, and they both have the same problem - 
a reported SSL handshake error when no checks were being carried out.

Now, on the FreeBSD machine, it has a firewall only letting my Nagios 
server talk to port 5666, so I know it's not possible for it to be 
another Nagios machine somewhere.

Any ideas what could be causing NRPE to fail a connection attempt every 
5 minutes, when it doesn't appear to be Nagios talking to it?

Thanks

Andy

Hey Andy,

Have you tried running your NRPE checkcommands manually?
${NRPE_DIR}/check_nrpe -H ${host} -c ${command} -a 
${arguments_if_you_have_any}
What does this return?

Usually when you get an error like this, it means that you have not 
specified the ipaddress of the Nagios server (doing the nrpe 
checkcommands) in the nrpe.cfg on the machine(s) being checked.
So make sure you have something like this:
    allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,${nagios_ip}

Hope this helps,

Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,

That's what I thought - but as I said, all checks that use NRPE on any 
of these servers are succeeding, plus the times that the errors are 
logged do not correspond to a time that Nagios runs a check.

Do you have something like a nagios.log file? Where Nagios logs its 
alerts, external commands,etc? You can set this in your nagios.cfg file.
In here you should see something like:
[1175986495] SERVICE ALERT: 
${host};${servicecheck};CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CHECK_NRPE: Could not complete 
SSL handshake

This should give you an idea where the problem lies.

Sorry this message bounced, trying it again...

Yes, and the last log entry was at 05:56 this morning when one of my 
client servers was rebooted.

Can I just stress that NO checks within Nagios are failing.  ALL checks 
that use NRPE are currently sitting with an OK state.  This is not 
causing a problem with any checks, that's why I want to know what's 
causing this error to be logged every 5 minutes when there's no problem 
anywhere.

It's almost as if there's another Nagios server somewhere trying to talk 
to my 3 machines - but I know this isn't the case because there's a 
firewall on one of them that only allows my Nagios server on that port.

Andy.

Be careful about what you 'know'. Assumptions have a tendency to backfire 
when you least expect it.

Can you run tcpdump on the machine and let it collect for something like 
10 minutes? It may show you the source of the unexpected connection.

Hi Hugo,

I've ran tcpdump to only capture packets on port 5666, and I can confirm 
that there is only my Nagios server talking to NRPE on the FreeBSD 
machine.  I've ran it until I saw one of these such errors in the logs, 
and tcpdump reported 2 conversations from my Nagios server to NRPE, so I 
can confirm it is my Nagios server that's trying to communicate.

However I've just realised what this is - I have a tcp check which looks 
to see if the NRPE agent is up and running (with other NRPE-based 
services set up as a dependency of it, so if NRPE goes down I don't get 
a flood of notifications.)  The check uses check_tcp to connect to port 
5666 then exits.  NRPE reports this as an SSL handshake failed, because 
it's connecting then disconnecting without doing anything!

Thanks for the help, at least I know what it is now!

Andy.

Subject: nrpe stopped working after upgrade
Message-ID: <20070408141256.GA12032@morsing.cc>


Hi, a few months back I upgraded Debian from 3.0 to 3.1 on my server. I have since failed to get nrpe working again but (obviously) cannot figure out why.

This is what I have installed:

emil:/usr/lib/backup/nagios/plugins# dpkg -l | grep nagios
ii  nagios-common  1.3-cvs.200504 A host/service/network monitoring and manage
ii  nagios-nrpe-pl 2.0-7          Nagios Remote Plugin Exectutor Plugin
ii  nagios-nrpe-se 2.0-7          Nagios Remote Plugin Exectutor Server
ii  nagios-plugins 1.4-6          Plugins for the nagios network monitoring an
ii  nagios-text    1.3-cvs.200504 A host/service/network monitoring and manage


What I get it Nagios saying "(No output returned from plugin)". I have tried to replace the check_nrpe binary with a script that captures the arguments this is run with and correctly get "-H linux -c check_home" (example). So the executable is run. If I remove the file Nagios noticed as well so that's not the problem.

If I let my shell script return a string like

DISK OK - free space: /home 4767 MB (23%);| /home=15713MB;18431;19455;0;20479

Nagios is immediately happy and turns green but on the other hand if I let my script call the original binary to get the exact same output string, Nagios again says "no output...". All this works fine when run manually...

I'm baffled. Don't know where to look. Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks

Hi Henrik

Is this the same when you run check_nrpe yourself manually?
I.e. from the console as the Nagios user, run check_nrpe -H linux -c 
check_home - do you get "No output ..."?

In NRPE's config file, are you using sudo as the command_prefix?
I had a lot of problems that took a while to figure out - sudo was 
requiring a console which nrpe doesn't have.  Removing the "defaults 
requiretty" from my /etc/sudoers file did the trick.

Hi and thanks for replying. NRPE works fine, no problems there, as any user infact. I don?t use sudo either.

Another thing to try is adding "> /tmp/nrpe-test.txt 2>&1" to the end of 
your command in your NRPE config file.
Then when Nagios has tried to run the plugin, /tmp/nrpe-test.txt on the 
NRPE side will contain any output/errors etc.  That's actually how I 
found out about the TTY problem with sudo ;)

Do you mean to nrpe_local.cfg on the remote host? Well, that's not really what the problem is. First of all, I just tried doing that but the file in /tmp never gets created? Even when I run it manually. I?m not sure I understand what it is you're suggesting.

Also, the problem is still with running check_nrpe, not the actual remote command. That works fine.

Thanks
Henrik

Message-ID: <461A0285.4060707@mailnetwork.co.uk>

The way NRPE works is:

1. check_nrpe sends the request to the NRPE server.
2. The NRPE server runs the command and captures any output sent to stdout
3. The NRPE server sends the captured output back to check_nrpe.

The error "No output returned from plugin" usually means that check_nrpe 
contacted the NRPE server OK, but the NRPE server did not return 
anything (i.e. point 2 above failed). 

 From experience, I've found the most popular reason is that the plugin 
on the remote side sent it's output to stderr (e.g. an error occurred 
running the plugin,) therefore check_nrpe reports no output being 
received, as it doesn't capture the error output stream.

What I'm suggesting is that you try to capture the output of the command 
on the remote side to a file, so you can see what's going on.
If the command succeeded in running when you've added "> 
/tmp/nrpe-test.txt 2>&1" to the end of the command definition in your 
nrpe config file, you'll get the full output (stdout and stderr) of the 
plugin in /tmp/nrpe-test.txt.  If there was no output, you'd still get 
an empty file.

As you're not getting a file created, I'd suggest either NRPE is 
misconfigured, or it couldn't execute the command correctly.
It also might help to check in /var/log/messages in case it logs a 
problem in there.

All three works fine.

Not in this case as check_nrpe never contacts it (Monitored with tcpdump)

As mentioned, tcpdump shows it never even sends the request.

No point as it's never being run as mentioned in my original post...

NRPE is not misconfigured. In fact NRPE works fine as mentioned in myoriginal post.

Thanks for your suggestions though :)

You could also try prepending an echo to the command_line in the command
and you will  see the exact command line it is executing in the cgi
interface, then copy and paste that into a terminal. work the bugs out
from there.

Thanks. Where do I add this exactly?

Subject: event_handlers through nrpe?

I do that this way:

-First of all, compiling nrpe with:
./configure --enable-command-args

Changing dont_blame_nrpe to 1 in nrpe.cfg
dont_blame_nrpe=1

I defined the commands in nagios this way:
command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c event_XXXX 
$SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$

And the command on nrpe.cfg
command[event_XXXX]=/data/general/nagios/libexec/event_spamc $ARG1$ 
$ARG2$ $ARG3$

It works fine for me.

Regards

I think I have some similar problem. I use nrpe as a daemon:
/usr/local/bin/nrpe -d -c /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg

My cfg says:
command_timeout=60
connection_timeout=300

But I see the "Socket timeout after 10 seconds" error. I thought it 
should wait 60 for the command and 300 for the connection. What is wrong?

Thanks for your help

It might be on the check_nrpe side - as the default timeout for all 
standard plugins is 10 seconds.

command_timeout on the NRPE config side is how long NRPE waits for a 
command to execute and return it's output before killing it off.

Try adding "-t 60" to the command_line of your check_nrpe check in Nagios.

my daily log rotation, the current state of all hosts and services is

makes the log (in my case) unnecessarily large, and was hoping to find
an option to prevent those states from being logged. They seem to be
generated by the log rotation signal - they are not entered on a Nagios
restart, nor on full clean shutdown and restart.

Here is a sample of entries I am referring to:
[04-04-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT SERVICE STATE:
<hidden>;Ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 51.00 ms
[04-04-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT SERVICE STATE:
<hidden>;Ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 212.99 ms
[04-04-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT HOST STATE: <hidden>;UP;HARD;1;PING OK-
Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 11.14 ms
[04-04-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT HOST STATE: <hidden>;UP;HARD;1;PING OK -
Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 28.26 ms

The documentation references the "log_initial_states" entry in the main
configuration file, which seems like it should control this option. But
as you can see by my config file below, it's disabled. Should I be
looking at a different option(s)?

Thanks.

I'm sure I answered this last week. This is expected and documented
behavior. See the CHANGELOG. It's desirable for the vast majority of
users and there's no option to disable it outside of editing source. If
it's disabled, reporting will become less accurate.

Subject: Service Group Summary Changing Numbers
Message-ID: <14004497.401176132952093.JavaMail.root@mail>

All, 

I have something going on that I consider very weird happening. Under service group summary my numbers are changing on refresh of the browser when there are no devices down. I have 4 different host groups on that page, but in one group I have 70 devices. You login it shows 70 devices up then you do a refresh and it will show 60 devices up none down when you know you have 70, next refresh it may show 68devices up none down. I know it all sounds like baby talk but it is some what difficult for me to explain. It does this under the hostgroup summary as well. 

I have been on this list for a long time and have never had to post because through reading the emails and searching the archives I have been able to achieve what I needed to for my environment, but I could not find anything close to what I am seeing now. 

Nagios is Version 2.7 updated this past weekend had I known and was paying attention I would have waited on the 2.8 release from this weekend :) 
Running on Solaris and Sun V880 Platform 4cpu's 8gig of mem. 

The server is no where close to being over loaded. Thing is I do not know if this was happening on the previous version. Of course when you announce a major change or upgrade people really start to pay close attention to the tools they use. 

Oh yeah one last thing these devices being monitored are Cisco devices with the check_command check-router-alive. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you done a full restart since making the change?  That would be the
right option to prevent those states being logged, but it won't take
effect unless you shut down Nagios completely and restart it -- your
rotation is probably just sending a HUP to an already-running Nagios
process.

Hello, 

I?m running Nagios 2.5 on Mac OS X 10.4.

I am finding that 1. I am getting host down alerts almost 2 hours late and

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Yes, absolutely I've done many full stop and starts, and confirmed there
are no remaining processes after the stop.

Have you done a full restart since making the change?  That would be the
right option to prevent those states being logged, but it won't take
effect unless you shut down Nagios completely and restart it -- your
rotation is probably just sending a HUP to an already-running Nagios

Hi Elijah,

This sounds similar to a problem that I had, refreshing the browser was 
giving me different results.  It turned out that the problem was to do 
with 2 Nagios processes running.  When I was refreshing the browser, it 
was randomly picking one of the processes and reporting back the state 
of that particular instance hence the different results on each 
refresh.  To rectify, I stopped Nagios and manually removed the 
remaining process and then started Nagios again.  I caused the problem 
during a Nagios upgrade, I didn't stop Nagios before starting the 
upgrade so it ended up being started twice.

Regards,
Aidan

Maybe Monarch?
http://monarch.sourceforge.net/

It uses a mysql database to store all you hosts/services etc and then 
generates the .cfg for you.

Subject: NRPE - command arguments, security?
In-Reply-To: <002001c77b78$ab96d7b0$7a0010ac@michiel>
References: <002001c77b78$ab96d7b0$7a0010ac@michiel>
Message-ID: <461B9B39.90703@mailnetwork.co.uk>

Certainly.
Imagine you have this command in your nrpe.cfg file:

command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/chec_disk -p $ARG1$

and you want to pass "/usr" as the parameter to check the disk space 
available to the /usr directory.
Now, imagine some rogue has discovered you're running NRPE on your 
server, connects to it, and sends the command check_disk with "/usr && 
rm -rf /" as the argument.

NRPE will pass out to the shell the command 
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/chec_disk -p /usr && rm -rf /"
which will cause it to run the plugin, then erase the entire contents of 
your server's file system.

To be fair, I think it's only a risk if your server is wide open in 
other ways, such as:

- NRPE allowing any host to connect to it
- No firewall restrictions
- sudo security really permissive

etc.  So if you know that only your Nagios server can connect to Nagios 
(restricted by firewalls and allowed_hosts in nrpe.cfg) I think, with a 
bit of extra attention paid to command definitions, you'll be OK.  But 
that's just my opinion.

Note you also have to have compiled NRPE with an extra option to allow 
command arguments (./configure --enable-command-args) as well as setting 
the option in the config file.

hi,

I had this issue also today.
In my case I had the command definitions set to recieve aruguments ($ARG1$, 
$ARG2$..etc) but the service definitions did not pased any aruguments (sinds 
it didn't need to).
After making a second check_nrpe command definition that didn't expected any 
arguments it worked.

hope it helps,

I have been unable to open the previous thread, as my browser
continually times out. So please accept my apologies for forcing you to
post duplicate responses - but thank you for doing so.

Is this the CHANGELOG entry you are referring to?

2.0b1 - 12/15/2004
# Improved logging of initial host and service states 

And if that is the case, then can you explain to me what the
"log_initial_states" option does differently? I have been unable to
determine the impact changing this value.

Thanks again for your post.

Hi Henrik,

As I mentioned previously, the "no output returned from plugin" error 
means that Nagios did contact NRPE successfully, but had nothing 
returned (otherwise you'd get a "Socket timeout" or "NRPE: SSL handshake 
failed" or similar failure).  If you're certain Nagios isn't actually 
contacting NRPE, then I suggest you check your Nagios config etc.

What might be helpful is if you also post:

What happens when you run "check_nrpe -H <remote_host_ip> -c 
<a_valid_nrpe_command>" when run as the Nagios user.
The output you see in Nagios.
Your Nagios's NRPE command definition and a relevant service definition.

Andy.

Thanks, I recreated right now with the config you suggested:

root at meta:/opt/csw/nagios# cat etc/servers/serviceextinfo.cfg
define serviceextinfo{
       host_name               datapool
       service_description     / Free space
       notes_url
http://targethost/munin/domain.net/datapool.domain.net-df.html
       icon_image              graph.gif
       icon_image_alt          Extended Info
}
root at meta:/opt/csw/nagios#

This shows at me next to my "/ Free space" service 2 icons. One red
paperfolder, linking directly to the munin url, and the graph.gif
icon, linking to
http://nagios/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=datapool&service=%2F+Free+space

I'd prefer to have only the latter one, linking to the munin graphs url :)


wbr,

Subject: NRPE - command arguments, security?
Message-ID: <002001c77b78$ab96d7b0$7a0010ac@michiel>

Hi all,

I have just implemented some NRPE servers and I want to allow "command arguments" with nrpe.
In the security readme form nrpe I see that this is a security issue and you must set "dont_blame_nrpe" (only the argument name already...).

The only thing is that I don't see any reason in the docs why this is so dangerous. Can somebody please explain?

  and it generate a nuw file .gd2 but whaen i want display it with 'File Manager' the uniques files that can't display are .gd2 and statusmap cant't display either.
   
  I compile nagios with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib and with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include.
  In HostDetail and ServiceDetail, png, jpg and gif are ok.

Subject: serviceextinfo icons
Message-ID: <28ef5e8f0704100733p283d7685m3c5cfe1c38f41ee4@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I am running Nagios 2.7 on Solaris 10, and have just enabled the
serviceextinfo funcitonality, since I would like to have a little
graph icon next to some services in the webinterface, that can be
clicked on to visit the relevant munin graphs I generate on another
server.

Now the docs ( http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#serviceextinfo
) say that I can use notes and notes_url and actiion and action_url
and icon_image.

If I do so, then the notes and the action urls can be used to directly
link me to the wished url, but my chosen graph icon (icon_image) links
to the extinfo.cgi site.

I understand that adding extra actions and features are nice features
to add per service, but it really isn't possible now to have a single
self-defined icon which directly links to an url?


TIA

charlie

I was going to ask the same exact thing, since the periodicity in which you retrieve data (and how of course) is the most important thing to interpret this data.
However, now that I have your insights, I'll try to get deeper on using plugins and I'll keep you posted of my testing results.
Best regards,

  Good to hear. What's your normal_check_interval and are they active or
  passive? Those are key factors to qualify that kind of statement and
  will help others with scalability questions in the future. If active,
  what kind of checks are you performing? 12,000 ping checks once a day is
  much easier than 12,000 checks every 5 minutes or every 10 seconds.

Sure, the action_url is just that. It just doesn't sound like it. If I
understand you correctly, you want the icon to be linked directly to an
outside URL...correct?

I do that by the following:

define serviceextinfo{
        host_name               montemp
        service_description     TEMP
        notes_url               http://nagios/mrtg/monitor1_1.html
        icon_image              graph.gif
        icon_image_alt          Extended Info
        }

A little graph shows up beside my TEMP service which goes directly to my
MRTG graphs when clicked on the icon.

I think this is what you mean anyways.

Regards,
Max

Subject: Undetermined times in availability reports
Message-ID: <005601c77b85$f89ca230$b97461d1@ad.checkpoint.com>

Hi, when I generate host/service reports using the GUI, they get 100%
"undetermined" . I saw the answer from the FAQs at
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=136
<http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=136&expand=false&showdesc=fal
se> &expand=false&showdesc=false

 

The instructions say to "increase the value of the Backtracked Archives
options. If this does not help and you know what the state of the
host/service was at the start of the report period, you can tell the CGIs
what that was by selecting it from the First assumed state dropdown box."

 

My question is, where do I make either of these changes?

Passive checks are written to a named pipe that is read by nagios, not a
file. Again, file contention isn't going to be an issue afaik as your OS
will handle access to the named pipe. You do need to be worried about
sending results faster than nagios can check them though. Your OS will
buffer result submissions up to your max pipe size (typically 4096 bytes
I believe) and you can configure nagios to check external commands as
often as it possibly can (command_check_interval -1 I believe) but even
so, processing 10 results for 1000 host every 10 seconds (1000
results/second) is not trivial. Again, you'd probably be breaking new
ground and I'd be surprised if it worked with the current architecture.
I submit about 4000 passive results every 5 minutes (~13/second) and
feel like I have plenty of room to grow but not like that...

Subject: Nagios w/ heartbeat + drbd ?
Message-ID: <461BB0B8.5050506@iso-ne.com>

Anyone doing a failover cluster with heartbeat and drbd?  I have a 
failover cluster working just fine.  The problem is that the failover 
partner is in a different room so it's connected to different network 
devices.  Nagios fails over just fine and continues monitoring when I 
test failover (/etc/init.d/heartbeat stop).   I added in IPFail so the 
cluster will failover if the primary node can't ping it's gateway 
(switch failure). 

The problem I have is having different config files on each node in the 
cluster due to the different network devices depending on which node 
nagios is running on.  The only solution I can come up with is to put 
all the network devices in a non-drbd partition creating a parent path 
that works depending on which nagios node is active.  It just bugs me 
having to update two config files instead of just the one.

Is anyone else using nagios in a heartbeat/drbd setup?  What strategy 
are you using in this kind of configuration?

I believe all pertinent information regarding host/service status is
kept in memory and only written out to a file periodically for other
uses...

probably...I could be wrong.

Hi Sebastian,

I cannot answer from experience I'm afraid, as for me, Nagios only 
monitors a small number of servers.

However there are people on the list who are running with 200, 400, even 
up to 700+ servers, with thousands of services, and Nagios does scale 
reliably.

When you're talking specifically about it's status text files, Nagios 
does have an option (the name escapes me) where it keeps it's status 
data in memory, only writing it to disk every so often, which prevents 
the problem of concurrent writing you're talking about.

Hope this helps some.

Andy.

Message-ID: <869894.91026.qm@web32113.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

  Hi guys,
  I'm kind of a newbie not only with Nagios, but also with all monitoring/management tools. I?ve just installed Nagios for testing it, and I?m successfully doing basic monitoring of a bunch of subnetworks, with no service monitoring yet (just pinging a few machines, seen how parent/child relationship affects alarming, etc).
  What I need to do is to evaluate if Nagios is suitable for a proof of concept I?m researching on, trying to monitor both hardware and services, and react if needed to meet a defined SLA for Web Services.
              I know that Nagios is able to do this kind of monitoring, but as far as I understood from the documentation, Nagios saves all cache and status of the monitored environment in text files inside the file system, and I was wondering how scalable would this be when trying to online monitor (lets say) 10 services per machine in a 1K machines environment that might update their status every 10 seconds. Do you think text-files locking might be an issue in this case? I cannot found architecture details on Nagios that might answer my question, and maybe some of you can give me an insight on this matter.
              Best regards,

I have several location with dedicated nagios server for every
location and central server for accumulation information. This server
get data over nsca.
Central server have host and server lists from all servers, but active
checks are deactivate for them.
Can "monarch" help me for maintaine this configuration?
May be some other tool?

Oh... It most certainly did :)  

All I did was remove -a $ARG2$ from /etc/nagios-plugins/config/check_nrpe.cfg and it works :)  I'm so happy.

Thanks to both of you, Andy as well, for helping me out with this.

Aidan,

Not sure how I miss that but you are right there were multiple processes running. I think my situation was from actually doing a restart on the services with the init script and they all did not stop for some reason. I have since stopped all services killed off any additional processes and now things seem to be back to exactly what I have grown to expect, a nice stable platform in nagios.

Thank you

Hi Elijah,

This sounds similar to a problem that I had, refreshing the browser was 
giving me different results.  It turned out that the problem was to do 
with 2 Nagios processes running.  When I was refreshing the browser, it 
was randomly picking one of the processes and reporting back the state 
of that particular instance hence the different results on each 
refresh.  To rectify, I stopped Nagios and manually removed the 
remaining process and then started Nagios again.  I caused the problem 
during a Nagios upgrade, I didn't stop Nagios before starting the 
upgrade so it ended up being started twice.

Regards,
Aidan

Personally I maintain all my Nagios files by hand (but am planning on 
looking at Monarch over the coming weeks.)
I would imagine that whatever configuration you can code into a Nagios 
file by hand, Monarch will allow you to do it through your browser.

 From what I can tell, it only generates Nagios's configuration files 
for you, so I would hazard a guess at yes :)

This is the one actually --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html#changelog

Logging changes - Initial host and service states are now logged a bit
differently. Also, the initial states of all hosts and services are
logged immediately after all log rotations. This should help with all
those "undetermined time" problems in the availability and trends CGIs.

> And if that is the case, then can you explain to me what the

Normally, when nagios starts, it will only log the state of hosts and
services that are in a non-OK state. The log_initial_states variable
tells nagios to log the state of all hosts and services on restart
regardless of their state. Normally nagios does not need this but it was
useful for accurate reporting in the past. The logging of states after
log rotation further negates the need for this option and further
improves the accuracy of reports IMHO. Reporting (as I understand it)
works as follows --

Historically --

Nagios would only ever log state changes or non-OK states unless told to
log all initial states on restart. For any given reporting period only
reads the log files within that time period. If a host or service never
changed state or nagios wasn't restarted during that time period (and
the state was non-OK), the status of that host or service would be
unknown. You would either need to tell nagios to backtrack through prior
logs to look for a state change to know what the status was or to set an
assumed state, presuming you knew what it was. Lots of guesswork could
be involved and the reports are likely to be inaccurate.

Today --

Nagios logs the state of all hosts and services at the start of every
log file. For any given reporting period, nagios now knows the exact
state of a host or service at the beginning of that period. No longer is
there a need to backtrack through older logs to determine initial state
or to assume states.

AFAIK, there is only ever 1 nagios process that writes the status files
at the interval specified by status_update_interval presuming
aggregate_status_updates is enabled, and it should for that many
services. File contention isn't an issue, but how long it takes to
actually write the file might be if you actually want to see
up-to-the-second status information in the web interface.

I personally think you're going to have other scalability issues when
trying to actually perform 10,000 checks every 10 seconds. That's
extremely aggressive IMHO and I believe you'd be breaking new ground.
I'm aware of other installations with that many services but I believe
they're at a more sane check interval of 5 minutes or longer.

For nagios 2, it's step 3 of the Availability wizard or, if you're
looking at the availability report for a single host or service not
using the wizard, top right corner of the availability report page for
that host or service.

It seems as if I wasn't the only one with this problem, see:

though there there isn't any solution posted either... could this be a
problem in 2.7?

Hmm, not sure. I'm using 2.8. I have two icons as well, but one is
pointing to the extended info page, and the definition I gave you as an
example, is pointing directly to my graph page.

I guess I've just never noticed the strange behavior. I also use host
extended information which works too.

Hi Marc (& others that answered my question),
    I share your mindset that if using polling 1K instances every 10 seconds (or so) wouldn't make any sense.
      When I post file locking might be an issue, I was not thinking on a pull mechanism for services (Nagios trying to retrieve information), but in Nagios being pushed by services for this kind of info. As far as I read from documentation, for a push schema, the monitored instance has to write a given file inside Nagios structure to update his status.
    What do you think about this?
    Regards,

Sebastian

Hi i was wondering if there was a way to set nagios not to notify for 
instance if a host is down immediately... say give it like 2 to 3 
minutes to recover before a notification is sent.
i understand how to set interval BETWEEN notifications but i dunno how 
to set the initial notification delay.

Thanks,

Sorry for the followup to my response but I'm just getting up to speed
with what's coming with 3.0. Nagios-3 introduces a new external command
that tells nagios to read further commands from a specified file for
bulk processing. This will eventually be an option for NRPE but it would
be useful in your case.

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?com
mand_id=131

You would have your external checker write the results to an arbitrary
file in bulk then you would tell nagios to process that file when it was
'full', whatever that criteria was. That would at least get you around
the limitations of the named-pipe processing but you'd still be limited
by how much time was required to process the file and it's commands.

Hello,

I am running Nagios 2.8 in a production environment with 700 hosts and

NagEdit has had its latest release on sourceforge on June 7, 2004. There is
no project website linked.

Oreon has no downloadable files and no documentation on sourceforge.
http://www.oreon-project.org is partly in french. At least, it is much more
up to date than the sourceforge site ;-)

Fruity http://fruity.sourceforge.net/ will be worth a look, too. And, of
course, Monarch, though there is neither online documentation nor a project
website ;-)

We are fumbling with NagEdit - I agree with "not userfriendly" ;-)

Just my 2c
Werner

Good to hear. What's your normal_check_interval and are they active or
passive? Those are key factors to qualify that kind of statement and
will help others with scalability questions in the future. If active,
what kind of checks are you performing? 12,000 ping checks once a day is
much easier than 12,000 checks every 5 minutes or every 10 seconds.

The way I would do this would be to split off the unique per system parts 
from the remainder.

Then you can sync everything you need to all servers except the config 
file(s) that are unique for each server.

Hi Sebastian,

Just to add one thing, your most concerning problem in 2.x series with a
lot of hosts polling very often is likely to be hosts checks as they are
 not parallelized. On the latest box I set up I'm polling every minutes
and as soon as there is a few unreachable hosts Nagios starts lagging.
My workaround for now is to manually disable active host checks on them
though there are many other options (I'm mainly thinking of removing the
host check and using event handlers to set the host UP/DOWN, though you
may want to test how that affect UNREACHABLE state).

This has been addressed in the upcoming 3.0 release but it's still in
alpha stage.

Thomas

Hi ,


There is a way, described in the Nagios Book "*Pro Nagios 2.0: (Expert's
Voice in Open Source)",  *James Turnbull,  APress. It shows, how to have
a direkt link to perfdata gathered with nagiosgraph, but with some
changes it may work for your requirements aswell.
This method works with all 2.x Versions I have tried, even with 3.0a1.
But be advised, this method isn't officailly supported and actually
there ist an discussion how to handle html-tags of plugin-outputs and/or
cgi-Input.





define serviceextinfo{
   host_name        pcmon1
   service_description    DISK_C
   icon_image        dot.png' border="0"></a><A TARGET="_blank"
HREF="/nagiosgraph/show.cgi?geom=450x100&host=pcmon1&service=DISK_C"
BORDER="0"><img src="/nagios/images/logos/graph.png" border="0"
}


(dot.png is an 'unvisible' png of 1x1-Pixel)

Don't use this version. If you can 't do better then this you are not

At first I thought you may be insulting me...but after going back to
the home page, I see where I made my mistake...Then again maybe you
are :b

Either way...thanks for pointing this out to me. I was not intending
to install cutting-edge. My days are hard enough.

Groundwork Monitor Open Source would be my suggestion, preferably as a
VMWare Virtual Machine as found at
http://richard.trezza.us/vmach/index.html

Latest version is 5.0 - I am still using 4.5 as I prefer the interface
(AJAX is overrated - sorry Rich).

You get a fully self contained Nagios environment with web based
management interface. Version 5.0 has the advantage of fully
integrated graphing of performance statistics into RRDs

Best of all, you can import your existing Nagios config straight into
Groundwork Monitor Open Source, copy over any custom plugins and you
are good to go.

You can continue with installing Nagios as follows (type 'make'

  make install-init
     - This installs the init script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

  make install-commandmode
     - This installs and configures permissions on the
       directory for holding the external command file

  make install-config
     - This installs *SAMPLE* config files in /usr/local/etc/nagios/etc
       You'll have to modify these sample files before you can
       use Nagios.  Read the HTML documentation for more info
       on doing this.  Pay particular attention to the docs on
       object configuration files, as they determine what/how

# make
Please supply a command line argument (i.e. 'make all').  Other targets are:
   nagios cgis contrib modules
   clean
   install install-base install-cgis install-html install-config
install-init install-commandmode fullinstall
#
-------------------
While not part of the 2.x install, I did see in 3.x the steps to run
- make install-config
- make install-commandmode

Since make install-init failed, I tried install-config, and install-commandmode

# make install-config {No errors}
# make install-commandmode {Again, No errors}

So, I'm back to make install-init ???

- Can I hack a file somehow?
- Can I achieve the same end result another way?
- Is there a fix or trouble shooting I can do ?

Thanks

Don

change the number of retries so it delays the transition from "soft fail" to
"hard fail".

e.g. if you check every 5 minutes when "ok", every 1 minute when "not ok"
and have 5 retries then you will be notified somewhere between 5 and 10
minutes after the server/service fails. increasing the retries will delay
the alert...

Subject: Fruity: Call to undefined function preg_match()
	Error when adding data or importing configs
Message-ID: <EB90D2217DFAF14484824FB6C5BF8C3702528203@norcalex2.norcalmutual.com>

Hi,

I'm hoping to get a little help in troubleshooting Fruity errors when I
attempt to make certain changes or import the basic Nagios config files:

1.  When I try to modify a contact group, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function preg_match() in
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/fruity/includes/adodb/adodb-lib.inc.php on
line 596

2.  When I try to import nagios.cfg, cgi.cfg or resource.cfg, I get this
error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function preg_match() in
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/fruity/includes/tangelo.inc.php on line 85


Here are some basics on my setup:

Fruity version -- fruity-1.0-rc2
OS -- FreeBSD 6.2
Nagios 2.8 -- it's up and running fine and monitoring 1 host so far.
MySQL 5 -- it's up and running. Fruity database is created, nagios
tables created, I confirmed that new hosts are added to the database
when entered from Fruity
PHP5 -- Installed and working
PHP Extensions for MySQL -- Installed -- database is being updated
Config Files -- www can write to the configs

Because PHP, MySQL and Nagios are running fine, I wonder if I didn't
install a necessary PHP Extension.  Fruity can write to the database, so
that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Anyone out there using Fruity successfully who could lend some advice?

Thanks for any help you can give.

To update my original post:

 

I re-ran the install of my PHP-extensions, and now I get a different
error when trying to import nagios.cfg, cgi.cfg and resource.cfg.  I
opened up permissions on the file just to be sure, and it still doesn't
work.

 

Here's the error:

 

Tangelo Error: Cannot Open Configuration File:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

 

It seems I'm missing something pretty simple here.

Hi

I?ve to monitor the used space of disks of mi SAN(eva6000(HP)) that is 
connected to a server "X". 
The SAN doesn?t have IP.

Mi local machine "where is nagios runnig" "Y" can comunicate whith the 
server of SAN "X".
I can use snmp, but only i can reach "X" server from my "Y" machine, and 
not the SAN. 

But i don?t know how can i get the used space of my SAN. ?

Could you help me? any information would be really helpful for me.

PD.Sorry because my english is not so good.




Thank you.

You will have to monitor each partition of your san individually on
servers they are mounted on. It works just like local disks.

Does the SAN have a SNMP agent? I am sure it does. Please look into the 
documentation of the SAN and install the nescessary software.

Please contect me direct if you have more questions about SNMP.

Hi ,


There is a way, described in the Nagios Book "Pro Nagios 2.0: (Expert's 
Voice in Open Source)", by James Turnbull,  APress. It shows, how to 
have a direkt link to perfdata gathered with nagiosgraph, but with some 
changes it may work for your requirements aswell.
This method works with all 2.x Versions I have tried, even with 3.0a1. 
But be advised, this method isn't officailly supported and actually 
there ist an discussion how to handle html-tags of plugin-outputs and/or 
cgi-Input.





define serviceextinfo{
   host_name        pcmon1
   service_description    DISK_C
   icon_image        dot.png' border="0"></a><A TARGET="_blank" 
HREF="/nagiosgraph/show.cgi?geom=450x100&host=pcmon1&service=DISK_C" 
BORDER="0"><img src="/nagios/images/logos/graph.png" border="0"
}


(dot.png is an 'unvisible' png of 1x1-Pixel)

I don't know FreeBSD that well but I'd guess there's no group called
root and that's what's causing the error. Assuming that is the case, I
don't know how you'd fix it programmatically (there's probably an
option
to configure that will do it) but you could manually change the line

INIT_OPTS=-o root -g root

in the Makefile to something more appropriate.

Having installed Nagios on a FreeBSD 6.2 server only yesterday, I just
changed that Makefile line to...
 
INIT_OPTS=-o root -g wheel
 
This then matches other FreeBSD init scripts as well.

I don't know FreeBSD that well but I'd guess there's no group called
root and that's what's causing the error. Assuming that is the case, I
don't know how you'd fix it programmatically (there's probably an option
to configure that will do it) but you could manually change the line

INIT_OPTS=-o root -g root

in the Makefile to something more appropriate.

You are aware that this version is old, obsolete and unsupport for a 
number of years now?

thanks - this is at least as quick-and-dirty as my "solution" - use
only the notes_url without an extra icon_image, and replace notes.gif
in the images directory :)

Disadvantages are of course that you'll have the notes.gif nagios-wide
replaced.

Looks to be working fine like that.   I did some testing and found that 
I should figure out something with the mail queue.  If there is a 
network failure, notification gets attempted, fails to connect to the 
mail gateway, then put into the queue.  When the secondary comes up, 
because it's picking up where the other node failed, it thinks it 
already sent the notifications.  This could easily be fixed with making 
the queue a drbd8 partition I suppose.

Hi there.

I'm interested on a plugin that sends a mail and check (in a defined 
period of time) if it is in the destination mailbox. The idea is to 
detect problems in delivery, queue time and so on.

Anyone know one that do this?

check_email_loop.pl in the plugins Contrib directory is what you're looking for.

Subject: Nagios sents notifi immideatly after recieving
	syslog error
Message-ID: <00c001c77c43$84689d10$7a0010ac@michiel>

Hello,

On some of my network devices I have set up syslog to send there results to Nagios trough passive checks. This works perfectly.
When syslog sents a error messages Nagios immideatly sents a notification e-mail/sms. 

The thing is that when syslog sent for example 20 error messages from one device within 5 secondes I also get 20 e-mail/sms notifications.
Is there a way that Nagios waits for (let say) 5 minutes, after the first error hase been received, and than sents these 20 error messages all in one notification?

chiel

Subject: check_ssl_cert w/ PKI / X.509 Chain Validation
Message-ID: <20070411102445.V76445@arbitor.digitalfreaks.org>


These scripts are great thank you very much to all involved who 
contributed (no e-mail address for 'mastrboy'). .  I'm considering 
spending some time adding additional functionality:

--

In addition to simply parsing the date and comparing the date/time, I'd 
like to test the validity of the X.509 Cert against it's PKI 
infrastructure using the OpenSSL routines.

I'm pretty sure that this can be accomplished by checking the result code 
of openssl 's_client' or 'verify'; both permit for -CApath and -CAfile.

For internal PKI, this is pretty straightforward; just specify your 
organization's Root CA Cert.

For public cert verification; it gets tricky because you have to take a 
certificate store like the Mozilla NSS/NSPR default and convert it into 
OpenSSL c_rehash format -- taking ideas on that here.

Thoughts?

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Nagios Looking Glass 1.0.4 released
Message-ID: <461D0F89.80604@mailnetwork.co.uk>

The Nagios Looking Glass project is proud to announce it's latest 
release, 1.0.4.

Project website: www.nagioslookingglass.co.uk
Download this latest release at www.nagioslookingglass.co.uk/download.phpx

This version fixes a bug when using Nagios Looking Glass against a 
Nagios server whose data and caching file names (in 
/usr/local/nagios/var) differ from those of a standard Nagios build.

It's been noted that 3rd-party configuration file tools, such as 
Groundwork, may tell Nagios to generate files such as "status.log" and 
"nagioscomments.log" instead of the standard "status.dat" and 
"comments.dat."

This release therefore allows Nagios Looking Glass to work happier with 
other extensions.

*Upgrading from 1.0.3?*

Please see the UPGRADING.txt file in the 1.0.4 distribution to see the 
changes you need to make to your server component's config file, 
s3_config.inc.php.  Failure to make these changes will cause the poller 
to say Nagios isn't running even though it is.

Thanks to Aaron Segura for reporting this bug.

Regards

Andy Shellam

 syslog error

At first glance I'd say you'd need to write your own notification 
handler that does this for you.
It would be much easier to write, say, a shell script that takes the 
notification details as parameters to the script.

That way your script can then do much greater filtering than Nagios 
alone does.

Subject: Any diagram of Nagios internal architecture?
Message-ID: <347593.24233.qm@web32112.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi guys,
       As I told you yesterday, I'm starting to go deeper in Nagios architecture, in order to fully understand how it works. 
       I've found a Nagios Event Broker document which I found very helpful for understanding the underneath behavior of the tool, and how you can "hook" from Nagios to get notifications.
       However, I was not able to found a high-level architectural diagram (or low-level as for example a class diagram). I've been browsing Nagios.org page and Nagios community wiki with no luck. Does any of you have any tips on how to get this kind of information (if available)?
       Best regards,

Hi Tony,
       Yes I have found myself there before, and those pictures helped a lot for understanding the flow that a notification goes thru on each event instance, and how configuration files are connected.
       However, I was looking for something more oriented to the developer, something like a class diagram or higher-level like how the NEB talks to the Nagios core engine, etc.
       Regards,

Well, the "log_initial_states" option has this description:
"If you want Nagios to log all initial host and service states to the 
main log file (the first time the service or host is checked) you can 
enable this option"
It then goes on to recommend against setting this option unless you are 
using an external application that does long-term state statistics 
reporting.

What I have observed its effect to be is to write out a snapshot of the 
state of each host and service to the log file on restart of nagios. 
This would be useful in some situations, I suppose. I leave it off, for 
the same reasons you mention.

The answer is most certainly yes.
Monarch has a recently added (with version 2) a Groups feature, and the 
MonarchDeploy.pm module. You can use these features to manage 
distributed configurations. We do this often. The Groups allow you to 
override passive and acive state, so you can maintain a central nagios 
with all (or most) checks set passive, and the "child" nodes set active.
There are many possible ways to transfer the files and restart the child 
nagios servers, so you can take your pick, but the MonarchDeploy.pm 
example uses scp to transfer the files, and ssh to launch the (compiled 
C) nagios restart command.

It's not clear to me where you got your description from. This
description is taken from the Main Configuration File Options page, and
its pretty clear to me from that it is the option to control the
behavior I'm referring to:
*********************************
Initial States Logging Option

Format: 	log_initial_states=<0/1>
Example: 	log_initial_states=1

This variable determines whether or not Nagios will force all initial
host and service states to be logged, even if they result in an OK
state. Initial service and host states are normally only logged when
there is a problem on the first check. Enabling this option is useful if
you are using an application that scans the log file to determine
long-term state statistics for services and hosts.

    * 0 = Don't log initial states (default)
    * 1 = Log initial states 
*********************************

It just doesn't seem to have any effect on my system. So the question
I'm struggling with is whether this is a purposeful behavior as Marc
describes? Is it a bug? Or is it some misconfiguration on my part? If
the log_initial_states=0 option is set on your system and you are not
seeing those log entries, then there is likely a misconfiguration on my
system. But even if that's the case, it doesn't correlate with Marc's
assertation that the inclusion of these entries is intentional and
irreversable. If Marc's assertation is incorrect, then there must be
some way to control the behavior - but what are the correct options? It
obviously isn't entirely controlled by this option, otherwise I could
control it.

Subject: Having issue with process-service-perfdata running
	too long
Message-ID: <7F477BD26F545A4C8E4779754A38EFB3011468B2@PEPWMV00043.corp.pep.pvt>


Hello.  I'm running Nagios 2.9 with Nagiosgraph 0.8.2.  This combination
has worked well for us for a while now.

I've found that recently the graphs (really the rrd files) have not been
being updated.  Looking further into the issue, I'm seeing the following
in our nagios.log file:

   Warning: Service performance data file processing command
'/usr/local/nagios/nagiosgraph/insert.pl' timed out after 5 seconds

Now if I run nagiosgraph's insert.pl by hand it takes almost 5 minutes
to complete, but it does run and does update all the rrd files.

My perdata file has grown rather large:

$ wc -l perfdata.log
 817880 perfdata.log

I see that my nagios.cfg file sets "perfdata_timeout=5" and that's
probably where the timeout comes from.  I also see that the
process-service-perfdata command is set to run every 30 seconds.

I like keeping the historical data, but I guess that would mean my
perdata file would grow infinitely large.  I don't see any option in
nagios.cfg that controls how much data stays in the perfdata.log file
(i.e. a retention interval for data contained therein).  Maybe I missed
it somewhere.

So it's starting to seem like I should trim this file somehow myself,
but I'm not sure how to go about that.

What's odd is that Nagios did this processing for me fine up until
yesterday.  I have not added any new hosts since yesterday.  I can't
imagine that this ran anywhere near 5 seconds prior to yesterday but it
still worked.  My config file is the same.  However, I did upgrade to
Nagios 2.9 yesterday.

How do others handle the size of this log file?

Thanks

Mark

You might have better luck with that over at nagios-devel. There's only
really one principal developer so the resources you seek might not be
available.

Well, yes...or do it at the plugin level.
I mean, what about writing the syslog messages to a log file that you 
parse every 5 minutes? There are plugins like check_log3 that do this, 
and they can be set to filter for regex expressions.
Another way would be to use syslog-ng to accept and filter the syslog 
messages, and post them to Nagios as passive checks via a program that 
does some consolidation/filtering for you.
We have done this using the Foundation database in GroundWork - post the 
messages there, and then query periodically to find the conditions you 
want an alert for with a simple perl plugin.
FYI GroundWork Foundation is now bundled into GroundWork Monitor Open 
Source 5.1.

Subject: NDOUtils 1.4 Stability
Message-ID: <E2F1BF1D85435146B4B564C74ED7116A019D448A@exchange.excapsa.local>

Hello Everyone,

I would -really- like to use the NDOUtils for my nagios 2.8 install.
But the big **DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT** warning is a little
scary.

Here are some questions for you all who are using it (and the
developers):

1) is there any outward sign that the NDOMOD module has segfaulted?  A
logfile?

2) Can nagios monitor this itself?  Or will a crash in NDOMOD cause
nagios itself to die as well?  (I was thinking of having nagios watch
for the NDOMOD process, and if it wasn't there, restart everything...but
if nagios goes down too, that obviously won't work)

3) Any ETA on when NDOUtils will be ready?   Losing database support was
one of the reasons I did not want to upgrade to nagios 2.x.  Pointing
the cold spare to a database with up-to-date status information is just
easy!

Seriously, I have seen a LOT of really rock solid "beta" programs out
there -- I am hoping this one is one of them!  :-)


Janet

Nagios will keep running if ndmomod dies; it just won't log to a
database any more.  It's pretty easy to spot the insertion errors in
Nagios's log if/when it happens, or by monitoring the process as you
mentioned.

I don't think that is strictly true. Since ndomod is running in the  
same process space as Nagios, a problem with the broker module will  
cause the main nagios process to die too.

However, a failure at ndo2db (that writes to the db) will not affect  
Nagios.

Ton,

So ndomod will take the nagios process with it.  That does not sound
very comforting.  I run a 24x7 monitoring environment complete with NOC
team, and having our monitoring system just stop tends to annoy upper
management.  

Does this happen very often?  I'm not too worried about it if the system
is mostly stable.  What kind of uptimes have people had with this very
handy tool?

Janet

Scott,
Marc is right - this is neither a bug, nor a misconfiguration. It is 
purposeful behavior. It was added to Nagios by the developer as a fix 
for another issue with the reports. You can't control it without 
modification to the source code, unless both you and I and Marc are all 
missing something.
I also see these log entries at log rotation, regardless of my 
log_initial_states setting. If I enable this option I *also* see these 
at, or just after, restart, and it balloons my log files in large 
systems, hence I refrain from setting it. I tolerate the entries at log 
rotation, though I admit that it would be nice to be able to turn these 
off :)

Interesting. However it does not seems to be well documented. I'm
particularly wondering what level of flexibility does it gives.

I'd certainly benefit from this kind of SNMP Trap management, but I
doubt it could be of any help for setting up hosts and services
considering the way wrote my Nagios config (Highly based on templates in
a way it is very easy to maintain). Is it possible for example to use it
only for trap management?

Anyone has experience migrating large distributed setups partly or
completely to Opsview?

Thanks,

Thomas

Well. I am afraid that if the current documentation is not sufficient you 
should hire someone. I do not think anyone is offering this sort of 
extensive handholding for free.

I advise you to read the manual cover to cover at least once. Then go 
ahead and set it up. If you run into specific issues you can ask specific 
issues.

But if you require more than that you should hire someone to do the job.

Hi 

 

I have already asked or posted my question to you.

 

We are using confluence wiki for our document management system.

 

We want to use your nagios for our Monitoring system, Is this nagios 

 

Can be integrated with confluence wiki or not??? If so how? We have to
use 

 

Any external plugins for that. Please do reply for this in detail.

 

Thanking you very much

Subject: Nagios 2.x and NSCA - hostnotification Problem
Message-ID: <1176365956.5053.7.camel@kallenbach.ip-partner.de>

Hi List,

this is my first time I write to a mailinglist. So please don't slap me
if I write anything wrong or incomplete. :)

My problem is, that I set up a distributed Monitoring with Nagios 2.x
and NSCA. The service_checks worked well, but if a host goes down, the
notification is sent out directly, after the central nagiosserver
receivs the downmessage. So it don't change to a "SOFT"-state (like it
should) but rather switches to HARD;DOWN ... 

The hostdefinition looks like that:

define host{
        host_name       phobos
        alias           phobos
        address         1.2.3.4
        max_check_attempts      10
        obsess_over_host        0
        contact_groups          tkext
        active_checks_enabled   0
        passive_checks_enabled  1
        check_period            never
        obsess_over_host        0
        check_command           check-host-alive
        check_freshness         0
        notification_interval   240
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        notifications_enabled   1
        }

In my opinion it should send a emay after 10 "nscamessages". Or not?

Any ideas?

Greets

Thomas

Subject: [Nagios-users] About integration of nagios with confluence wiki



Hi 

 

I have already asked or posted my question to you.

 

We are using confluence wiki for our document management system.

 

We want to use your nagios for our Monitoring system, Is this nagios 

 

Can be integrated with confluence wiki or not??? If so how? We have to use 

 

Any external plugins for that. Please do reply for this in detail.

 

Thanking you very much

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for pointing met to check_log3, but i'm not sure if its what i'm 
looking for after I tested it.
I didn't test the GroundWork yet because at this moment I only use Nagios.

The thing that I am looking for is as follows, I want to get my Nagios 
notification e-mail as follows:


***** Nagios 2.8 *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: NAGIOS
State: DOWN
Address: ***.***.***.***
Info: Syslog messages

$DEVICENAME$ has reported the following syslog messages over the last 5 
minutes:

Emergencies:
-emergencie message 1
-emergencie message 1

Alerts:
-alert message 1

Critical:
-etc...

Date/Time: Mon Mar 19 13:21:07 CET 200


..Or something like that.
Group those messages together is also a posibility but I prefer the above 
methode.
Is this posible with the Groundwork Foundation? or must I write some custom 
script? (don't hope so because I'm not that good of a programmer..maybe 
someone can help?)

chiel

Aahhh! The cat is out of the bag!

We will be making a bigger announcement about Opsview shortly as we  
have a newer version waiting in the wings. But I will answer a few  
questions now:

   Q: Is it based on Nagios?
   A: Yes. Nagios is the world's most popular open source monitoring  
system, so it would be silly not to. We make a big (http:// 
altinity.com) deal (http://www.altinity.com/opensourcecommitment)  
about using Nagios (http://www.opsview.org/), and we continue to  
publish our changes upstream (http://www.altinity.org)

   Q: Can I manage Nagios config files using Opsview?
   A: Yup. We have our web frontend to add or clone hosts, services  
or contacts. We spend a lot of time making the front end as easy as  
possible. You don't touch the config files at all

   Q: Can I do distributed setups?
   A: Yup, as easy as a drop down selection for a host. Hit reload  
and we take care of sending all your configs to all the slaves. We  
even throw in freshness checking and parent child relationships for  
good measure

   Q: Do you have a Pro version?
   A: We only have one version: Opsview. We don't believe in  
splitting our codebase for marketing reasons - we just want to keep  
making our core code better. You can call it Pro if you want :)

   Q: How much does it cost?
   A: We licence Opsview under the GPL because we believe it is a  
fundamental right that you can change the code if you want. So the  
code is free. We make money on support (which you don't have to take)  
and development (so you can sponsor certain features).

   Q: So you're open sourcing it?
   A: That is our plan. We're starting with a publicly available VM,  
we'll be publishing RPMs and .deb files soon and we will be posting  
source code releases on Sourceforge. We're already put source code on  
SF, but they are hard to install or create RPMs. We're getting there.

   Q: Where can I start?
   A: I recommend getting the VM image from http:// 
downloads.opsview.org/ as we've sorted out a lot of the dependency  
issues. We will have a 2.7 image posted in the next few days, with  
packages soon after - we'll talk more about that when it is ready.  
Sign up to our mailing lists at http://opsview.org/mailinglists, and  
get ready for the announcements!

Hi Leandro. The Nagios documentation goes into quite good detail on how
to use NSCA in the Distributed Monitoring section. Was that not helpful?
Instead of us re-telling that documentation in it's entirety, why don't
you explain what you've done and what's not working for you to give us a
starting point.

I have the same, or similar report.  I was (and currently am) running Nagios
2.8, and the services-perf log file is created, added to, and eventually
sent to a "process the perf data" (nagiosgraph 0.7 with some local
add-ons).
Then, I updated nagios to 2.9, and suddenly the perf-log file just got
bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and bigger... and no services-performance
processing was done, until the available diskspace (20MB all in all - stored
on a ramdisk) was full, Nagios 2.9 then kept on running, but didn't have any
meaningful informations available through the cgi's... (as the
status.datfile is also stored on that ramdisk).

Cheers,

ps: my current perf settings (both for 2.8, which worked, and for 2.9, which
didn't) are:

perfdata_timeout=60
process_performance_data=1

I hadn't really had to pay attention to the perfdata file before.  From
looking at the contents of my perfdata file, it looks like it would
normally be cleared or truncated or whatever Nagios does on its own
perhaps daily.  The old data in the file was only about 24 hours old.
Looking at the file today, I see it's still growing.
 
Now that someone else is reporting this problem after going to 2.9, I'm
suspicious of a bug in 2.9.   The only thing I saw in the changelog
relating to this file was:
 
*	Fix for incorrect performance data file write/append mode
options
 
Perhaps there's a relationship.
 
Mark

Yes, You can do this with Foundation, but yes, you have to write the 
plugin to query it. Good news is there is a perl API. and examples to do 
that.
As you stated your requirements here, I do not think you necessarily 
need to install Foundation to get the results you need, unless you are 
doing thousands of these checks. Log files will work fine.
I don't know of any plugin offhand that does exactly what you need, 
here, so I suggest you hire some help if the plugins you can get for 
free don't quite do the job.
If you do decide to use GroundWork, we do that kind of custom plugin 
development, and we put the results into our open source package, so 
everybody wins :)

Subject: always online jabber client
Message-ID: <3f8ec11c0704121153s1ab326b9t65f9a056bb3f6d5f@mail.gmail.com>

hello, i setup some internal server for nagios notifications, the
script provided with nagios signs in every time it need to notify and
logs out again, like lights on a christmas tree.

this makes it slower(maybe not), and really bugs us.
anyone knows of some  script to 'daemonize' the jabber client process
? so its always logged in.

Any help appreciated

There's an excellent frontend called NagVis which uses NDOUtils for
producing dashboards.  See http://www.nagvis.org/doku.php

Even if this isn't quite what you're after, it gives you an idea of
some of the things that are possible and it's a darned excellent tool
in its own right!

Cheers,

Jim

It has been a long time since I did this.  To get the syntax, use the
--help option like so:

$ pngtogd2 --help
Usage: pngtogd2 filename.png filename.gd2 cs fmt
    where cs is the chunk size
          fmt is 1 for raw, 2 for compressed

So this tells you that the first argument is the chunk size.  I just
guessed and used 1024, so the syntax I used for the conversion was:

$ pngtogd2 mypicture.png mypicture.gd2 1024 1

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Jim

My guess its that your flavor of mkdir does not like the -p option.

Hi,

Have already met such error before and the solution was the following:

edit <INSTALLATION_DIR>/po/Makefile
change MKINSTALLDIRS = @MKINSTALLDIRS to MKINSTALLDIRS = ../mkinstalldirs

Hope it helps.

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but do you have the relevant
extended host information in your configuration files?  For example:

define hostextinfo {
  host_name           router120
  icon_image          router.gif
  statusmap_image     router.gd2
}

Also make sure you have configured the parent relationships in your
host definitions.

I don't use Suse myself.  If it is any consolation, the Thunar file
manager I use with XUbuntu does not display the .gd2 images either.
Firefox will not display them, nor will the Gimp open them.  They
display ok in the Nagios statusmap though!

It might be worth compiling again and keeping an eye out for any
errors relating to the gd libraries.  It might also be worth trying a
different browser in case that is the problem.

Version of nagios? If 1.x, the documentation on how to configure
database support is at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xdata-db.html. You should
seriously consider starting with nagios2. nagios1 is very old and we're
approaching the release of nagios3. The database configuration of
nagios1 is no longer used in these modern releases.

In any event it sounds like either mysql isn't running, the proper
database/tables weren't created or you've supplied an  incorrect
username and password to access the database.

Hi, I have had the same problem a few times. Un-install nagios-mysql and install nagios-text instead and it works.

I received the following reponse from Thomas Guyot-Sionnest on the
nagios-devel mailing list which explains the change a little better and
suggests a change to the way the perfdata processing script runs.  I
implemented the changes he suggested to my insert.pl script and it
cleans the file and runs quickly now.

		There was a bug in 2.8 and earlier were
perfdata_file_mode=a were
		writing and perfdata_file_mode=w were appending. change
it to "w" and
		you'll get the old behavior.
		 
		My understanding is that you never remove the file in
your perfdata
		processing script so that in 2.8, when told to write,
the file was
		truncated when Nagios was reopening it. The correct fix
is to remove the
		file before returning back to nagios.
		 
		For better performance I'd suggest something like this:
		 
		open(PERFDATA, "<$perfdata_file") or die;
		  if ((my $test=fork) == 0) {
		  # Do something useful here
		  close (PERFDATA);
		  exit (0);
		} elsif ($test > 0) {
		  # Fork forked, remove file and return
		  unlink ($perfdata_file);
		  close (PERFDATA);
		  exit (0);
		} else {
		  # Something went wrong! Don't remove the file, Nagios
		  # will keep appending to it.
		  close (PERFDATA);
		  exit (1);
		}
		 
		This will open the file, remove it and return
immediately to nagios
		while the forked process will continue processing the
file. Since the
		file is already opened when it is unlinked the new file
won't interfere
		with the one opened by the forked process.

	I have the same, or similar report.  I was (and currently am)
running Nagios 2.8, and the services-perf log file is created, added to,
and eventually sent to a "process the perf data" (nagiosgraph 0.7 with
some local add-ons).  
	Then, I updated nagios to 2.9, and suddenly the perf-log file
just got bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and bigger... and no
services-performance processing was done, until the available diskspace
(20MB all in all - stored on a ramdisk) was full, Nagios 2.9 then kept
on running, but didn't have any meaningful informations available
through the cgi's... (as the status.dat file is also stored on that
ramdisk).
	
	Cheers,

	ps: my current perf settings (both for 2.8, which worked, and
for 2.9, which didn't) are:

Subject: Continuation Character
Message-ID: <20070413160012.GC14335@simondelivers.com>

Hi all:

I glanced at the linux.com article

    http://enterprise.linux.com/enterprise/07/03/29/1811249.shtml?tid=129

And saw a command definition with backslash line continuation characters
for formatting. To the best of my knowledge this is not supported, but I
wish it was. I like vertically formatted files, much easier to
double-check and alter.

 I looked through the docs, and tried to use a backslash, to no avail.

Is this possible in some way?

Is it on the wishlist?

Joe

Hello All,

 

I have installed NDOUtils (1.4b2).  I am using nagios 2.8 on a RedHat EL
4.

 

I have connected ndomod and ndo2db-2x via socket, and everything -seems-
fine.  There are no errors in the logfiles, and, in the database, I get
nagios_conninfo entries for the connection...but nothing else.

 

I used socketdebug to see what information was being sent over the
socket, and this is the output:

 

-----------------------------------------------

server:/usr/local/nagios/var$ sudo -u nagios ../bin/sockdebug ./ndo.sock

 

 

HELLO

PROTOCOL: 2

AGENT: NDOMOD

AGENTVERSION: 1.4b2

STARTTIME: 1176480042

DISPOSITION: REALTIME

CONNECTION: UNIXSOCKET

CONNECTTYPE: INITIAL

INSTANCENAME: default

STARTDATADUMP

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

 

And that's it.  No more information is ever communicated over the
socket.  NDOMOD gives no error messages, no log entries are made,
nothing.  I have no idea what is happening at this point.

 

Nagios continues to write status information to the regular files on the
drive as if ndomod were not running.  If anyone could give me a hand
with this, I would appreciate it greatly.  Thanks.

 

Janet

Ton,

 

So ndomod will take the nagios process with it.  That does not sound

very comforting.  I run a 24x7 monitoring environment complete with NOC

team, and having our monitoring system just stop tends to annoy upper

management.  

 

Does this happen very often?  I'm not too worried about it if the system

is mostly stable.  What kind of uptimes have people had with this very

handy tool?

I don't think that is strictly true. Since ndomod is running in the  

same process space as Nagios, a problem with the broker module will  

cause the main nagios process to die too.

 

However, a failure at ndo2db (that writes to the db) will not affect  

Nagios.

Message-ID: <B97247EE196CC24BA6D64AC3B64F1E1B950C1D@CCHSCLEXMB56.cc.ad.cchs.net>

Using Nagios 2.8 and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Been trying to
squeeze out some perfdata in order to test nagiosgraph and I get Nagios
to create the file, but it remains empty no matter what occurs. Here are
the relevant portions of my nagios.cfg for clarification:

nagios.cfg:
perfdata_timeout=5
process_performance_data=1
#service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file=/var/spool/nagios/perfdata.log
service_perfdata_file_template=$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICED
ESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERFDATA$
service_perfdata_file_mode=a <-- had this set to w based on a previous
email, but that didn't seem to do anything
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=30
service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata

checkcommands.cfg:
define command{
        command_name            process-service-perfdata
        command_line    /usr/bin/perl
/usr/share/nagios/nagiosgraph/insert.pl
}

I just can NOT seem to get anything written to the perfdata.log file
although nagios DOES create it upon (re)start.

Any thoughts?

Michael,

I assume you've checked and made sure that no *.rrd files are being
generated?  Perhaps it is running, but emptying that file out so quickly
that you never catch it when it has data in it?

I found that was happening to me at one point, but I could see that I
was getting new/updated *.rrd files in my rrd directory for nagiosgraph.
You could also try running "watch" (if it's available on your platform)
to monitor the contents of the perfdata.log file to see if anything ever
really does go in there ("watch -d cat perfdata.log").

Also, it's not going to hurt, but you don't really need to say
"/usr/bin/perl /usr/share/nagios/nagiosgraph/insert.pl" as long as
insert.pl is executable and has "#!/usr/bin/perl" as the first line.

Using Nagios 2.8 and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Been trying to
squeeze out some perfdata in order to test nagiosgraph and I get Nagios
to create the file, but it remains empty no matter what occurs. Here are
the relevant portions of my nagios.cfg for clarification:

nagios.cfg:
perfdata_timeout=5
process_performance_data=1
#service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file=/var/spool/nagios/perfdata.log
service_perfdata_file_template=$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICED
ESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERFDATA$
service_perfdata_file_mode=a <-- had this set to w based on a previous
email, but that didn't seem to do anything
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=30
service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata

checkcommands.cfg:
define command{
        command_name            process-service-perfdata
        command_line    /usr/bin/perl
/usr/share/nagios/nagiosgraph/insert.pl
}

I just can NOT seem to get anything written to the perfdata.log file
although nagios DOES create it upon (re)start.

Any thoughts?

Subject: Notify By SMS Problem
Message-ID: <461FD0DE.6040408@rbmail.ch>

Hi Guys

I've got some problems to get my notification by sms working...

I'm using nagios 2.9 and smsclient 2.0.8z

when i execute the following command as user nagios (which the server 
runs under) the sms is being sent

/usr/bin/printf "%.150s" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ 
$HOSTNAME$[$HOSTADDRESS$]/$SERVICESTATE$ /$SHORTDATETIME$/ 
$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/sms_client *snip*myphone*snap*
the logfile (smbclient) entry for this command is

Apr 13 20:32:34 [1363] : Dialing SMSC 0794998990...
Apr 13 20:32:39 [1363] WARNING: read() Timeout
Apr 13 20:33:07 [1363] : Connection Established.
Apr 13 20:33:08 [1363] : SMSC Respsonse: 
<STX>01/00042/R/01/A/*snip*myphone*snap*:130407203306/10<ETX>
Apr 13 20:33:08 [1363] : Message accepted

Apr 13 20:33:11 [1362] : Total Elapsed Time: 37 Seconds



So i added the command to my configs

define command{
         command_name    notify-by-sms
         command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%.150s" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ 
$HOSTNAME$[$HOSTADDRESS$]/$SERVICESTATE$ /$SHORTDATETIME$/ 
$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/sms_client *snip*myphone*snap*
}

than i've shutdown a service so that a service check raises a 
notification...

In the nagios web interface notification the notification shows up:

Host     Service            Type     Time                Contact 
Notification Command  Information
server01 Network PHPMyAdmin CRITICAL 2007-04-13 19:32:58 nagios 
notify-by-sms         Connection refused

When i now check the log file only the following lines shows up

Apr 13 20:42:59 [1788] : Dialing SMSC 0794998990...
Apr 13 20:43:04 [1788] WARNING: read() Timeout

the modems is doing something and then unexpectedly disconnects...

If I send an sms with user nagios (sms_client number "hello") after this 
all work absolutly normal...


has anyone an idea whats causing this problem???



thank you

This is from the smsclient FAQ

Question   I can't get smsclient to run from inside a script. (eg.
netsaint) 
Answer 
by default SMSClient uses stdout to display some information
(dialing...). Some apllications (eg. netsaint) don't want to know what a
script returns, and SMSClient sends it output into the great wide
open... This results in a Broken Pipe . You should call smsclient
without output, smsclient -q .


Hope it helps.

Marco.

Would love to check this out - anyone able to download it? I keep
getting "Page cannot be displayed" on the download link, and can't get
email to Gerhard either, as it keeps timing out/deferring on his mail
server...

Hi,

i make a plugin, which checks the state of CPUs, fans, power supplies,

Hi marco

thank you for this hint! i added the option -q to my command but the 
problem still exists...

anyone another idea?

Could it be some kind of a timeout (nagios stop the process before the 
connection to the smsc is established) problem?

i've overseen some option in my config

notification timeout = 30

i thought the default value was 60... have they changed that?


After changing the value to 60 the sms notify worked as expected!

hi all,

in responce to Mark's comment of:
Also, it's not going to hurt, but you don't really need to say
"/usr/bin/perl /usr/share/nagios/nagiosgraph/insert.pl" as long as
insert.pl is executable and has "#!/usr/bin/perl" as the first line.

Acctually it may hurt.  There was a thread in the Nagiosplugin Help mailing
list this week that discussed this.

if the insert.pl is called without the /usr/bin/perl and Embedded Perl is
enabled then the Embedded perl will run the script despite the #! on the
first line of the script. This may cause the script to not work.  likewise
with the /usr/bin/perl in the command then it will always use the External
Perl.

If Embedded Perl was not compiled into the Nagios install, then what you say
would be completly true.

Subject: Need help for Nagios configuration
Message-ID: <dec9cc2675d8.4621328b@gwu.edu>

Hi,

I have installed and configured Nagios on my laptop which has Fedora as virtual machine and it is working fine. But as I have installed on virtual machine so i added windows wireless adapter IP address and vmware IP address as the host. I am running the PING and HTTP service for both the host and also added some services like CurrentLoad, CurrentUsers and Total processes for the localmachine and all these services are working fine. 

So can anyone please tell me what extra services i can add for these particular hosts and if possible the syntax of adding those services.


Thanks and Regards,

hi,

Nagios is capable of monitoring many things,
your best option is to Read The Documentation.
then review the existing plugins that are out there.
(review the official plugins, and Nagios Exchange)

Basically nagios can check anything you want as long as you get can print
output and return the proper exit code.

For windows I recomend NC_Net (since I made it)
but there is also NS_CLient++, SNMP traps, NRPE
and several other ways to check against a windows box.
(once again check nagios Exchange)

Good Luck,
TOny  (author of NC_Net)

Nagios is all about monitoring services. If you have to ask others which 
services to monitor I would say these services do not need to be monitored 
because they are not important to you. If they were important you could 
name them to us.

If it is for educational purposes one should study the manuals. Read some 
bits of the tons of extra monitoring script available from nagios exchange 
and the archives of this mailinglist.

There is no substitute for learning things by finding information yourself 
and building things.

Hey folks,

   I could swear I've asked this before, but neither Google nor the
mailing list archives showed any posts.  My apologies if this is
indeed a repeat, my memory flakes out sometimes.

   I have a v2.8 installation on an OpenBSD machine.  It was built
from source, not installed via packages/ports.

   I have another OpenBSD machine called electron:


# 'electron' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               electron
        alias                   OpenBSD workstation - electron
        address                 electron.bennyvision.com
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      15
        notification_interval   0
        notification_period     none
        notification_options    d,u,r
        contact_groups          admins-email
        }


It's just a workstation, I don't care as much if it's offline as if it's
online and something's broken, hence the 'notification_period 0'. I have
three services set up, that are checked via NRPE:


# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       electron
        service_description             clamd
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              6
        normal_check_interval           3
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins-email
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_procs_nrpe!1:1!clamd }

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       electron
        service_description             freshclam
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              6
        normal_check_interval           3
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins-email
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_procs_nrpe!1:1!freshclam }

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       electron
        service_description             freshclam log
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              6
        normal_check_interval           3
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins-email
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_freshclam_log_nrpe
        }


Basically, I'm checking to make sure clamd and freshclam are running, and
that freshclam is actually updating it's log file, respectively. These all
work just fine, NRPE is executing the checks, it all works. I get notified
just fine if I kill a service or NRPE, and I get the recovery emails as
well when I start them back up.  Yay.

However, I want to set up service dependencies for NRPE on this and all my
other hosts, so if something weird happens to it, I don't get spanked by a
gazillion alerts for each service.  This shouldn't be that difficult, but
I cannot for the life of me get service dependencies working as I think
they should.

I have three service dependencies set up for electron:


# Servicedependency definition
define servicedependency{
        host_name                       electron
        service_description             nrpe
        dependent_host_name             electron
        dependent_service_description   clamd
        execution_failure_criteria      w,u,c,p
        notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c,p
        }

# Servicedependency definition
define servicedependency{
        host_name                       electron
        service_description             nrpe
        dependent_host_name             electron
        dependent_service_description   freshclam
        execution_failure_criteria      w,u,c,p
        notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c,p
        }

# Servicedependency definition
define servicedependency{
        host_name                       electron
        service_description             nrpe
        dependent_host_name             electron
        dependent_service_description   freshclam log
        execution_failure_criteria      w,u,c,p
        notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c,p
        }


nagios -v is happy with this, it does not complain about any config
errors.  However, if I kill NRPE on electron, I get an alert for
each of the supposedly dependent services.  I am absolutely at a
loss to see why.

I have been through /nagios/docs/xodtemplate.html#servicedependency a
gazillion times - what in the heck am I missing?  No matter what options I
give for *_failure_criteria, I cannot get the dependency to NOT alert me
when NRPE is down on electron.

This is driving me nuts.  If someone could point out where I'm going
wrong, I'd _really_ appreciate it.

Thanks much!

Benny

Take a very close look at the output of "nagios -v". It happened to me
in the past that making a small error in the servicedependency
definitions would make Nagios discard them as "Lame service dependency"
without counting it in the warning/error count. This is logged at the
top and discarded before Nagios enters the objects verification step.

This is likely your problem. Maybe this should cause Nagios to die
instead of skipping part of the configuration....

Thanks for the suggestion, Thomas, but I don't see any problems:

Hi,
I ran into same problem, I got it working by changing the insert.pl. I 
am not sure
if my config was wrong or there is something wrong in nagios or nagiosgraph.

----------------Changed code in insert.pl-------------------
# Parse performance data from input
#
sub parseinput {
  my $data = shift;
  #debug(5, "INSERT perfdata: $data");

  #my @d = split( /\|\|/, $data);

### Note the the split delimiter in below line, No matter what I do to 
configure the
#nagios, I cannot make it print || in the perfdata. It always separated the
# fields with tab. Also the index used below had to be adjusted according
#to how nagios wrote the performance data file.

  my @d = split( /\t/, $data);

  return ( lastcheck    => $d[1],
           hostname     => $d[2],
           servicedescr => $d[3],
           output       => $d[6],
           perfdata     => $d[7],
         );
}
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this help.

Manish

Subject: $HOSTADDRESS$ being ignored with nrpe?
Message-ID: <98807D14FDAFAB4D964C7A48A61F911C013365BF@tcsrlon4.halian.dom>

Hi All,

I'm currently evaluating Nagios for use in our company and I've run in to a small problem. For some reason the nrpe plugin is ignoring the $HOSTADDRESS$ argument and always returns stats for the localhost. The relevant parts of the configuration files are as follows:

/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg:
-----------------------
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/hosts


/etc/nagios/commands.cfg:
-------------------------
define command{
        command_name    check_nrpe
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
        }

/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg:
---------------------
command[check_disk1]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /


hostX:/etc/nrpe.cfg:
--------------------
command[check_disk1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /


/etc/hosts/hostX.cfg:
---------------------
define host{
        use                     linux-server            ; Name of host template to use
        host_name               hostX
        alias                   hostX
        address                 192.168.1.1
        }

define service{
        use                             remote-service            ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       hostX
        service_description             Root Partition
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_disk1
        }



If I change the check_nrpe command line in commands.cfg and the check_command of the hostX.cfg file to the following it works, but I don't want to repeat the hostname over and over as it will make adding new hosts awkward:

        command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
        check_command                   check_nrpe!hostX!check_disk1


Please would somebody advise me why the $HOSTADDRESS$ argument isn't working??

Thanks,

Haydn.

Thanks for the response. I modified the insert.pl as stated above but that
still made no difference. If you notice in the nagios.cfg:

service_perfdata_file_template=[SERVICEPERFDATA]\t$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME$\t$SERVICELATENCY$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$

which should actually be:

service_perfdata_file_template=$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERFDATA$

might explain why you arent seing || but are seing tabs in your perfdata. My
problem seems to stem from the fact that i cannot get data written to the
perfdata.log file at all, thus the insert.pl fails to parse anything at all.
And i cannot find a reason why this is the case.

Thanks again for your response, i hope the above helps your issue out.

Hi Marcus,

i can understand, not-so-important servers are not fully equipped. 
I will introduce an option like "-b ps:3,..." to blacklist the named
components (skip checking power supply #3 in this example).

Maybe by the end of the week. Keep an eye on
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm (the broken download
link has been fixed). 

Greetings,
Gerhard

You can use one of free|commercial sms gates (csoft.co.uk for example)
with simple notification script,
or you can send messages over mobile phone, connected to server. In
this case, you must setup some software for sending sms's over phone,
before.
http://smstools.meinemullemaus.de/ (for example)

I don't know if it makes a difference, and I may have missed some new
parameters that have been added since the docs were revised, but I'm not
sure "p" is a valid failure criterion.

According to the docs, it is.

But nevertheless, I've tried it with and without, and it doesn't
work either way.  :(

Thanks,

Subject: nagios checks
Message-ID: <01e301c78084$6b0d7170$41285450$@com.mx>

Guys.. I have some nagios questions.

1. Is there a way to make users that can login thru the web interface and
check hosts but disable them from getting email notifications of statuses?

2. I don't know why buyt nagios is checking services too fast for my taste,
for example, ping service, I check the log and I get the first 

HOST ALERT: ipaq;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (10.0.0.14)
.
.
HOST ALERT: ipaq;DOWN;HARD;10;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (10.0.0.14)

SERVICE ALERT: ipaq;ping;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable
(10.0.0.14)

But from the down soft 1 host  alert to the 10th it only goes by like 1
second... why are those 10 soft check going by that fast?

3. Is there a way to disable hosts up down recovery notifications and just
let the ping service alert me? Ive noticed that many times I get host downs
and ups a lot but no ping service notifications.. seems my host check
command is way to sensible... can this be mnodified?

Hope Im not asking too many stupid questions :)

Yes. Set the contacts so they don't receive alerts using
service_notification_options. See the docs about contact configuration
here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact

That's normal -- host checks will run serially as fast as they can. See
the docs on host checks here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html#host_checks

> 3. Is there a way to disable hosts up down recovery

If you don't want host check functionality, use a host check that will
never go down (check_dummy is a good plugin to use for this).

Message-ID: <A115C291F081D74E9869737475F63593293EA2@svr-exc-01.s3tech.ca>

I have Nagios 2.9 installed on OpenSuSE 10.2. 

 

The following are installed

 

*         lgd 

*         gd-devel 

*         libpng 

*         libpng-devel 

*         libjpeg 

*         libjpeg-devel 

*         zlib 

*         zlib-devel

 

Nagios compiled without errors and statusmap.cgi is present.

 

When i try to access the statusmap page i get the normal page but no
image. I get a square with an X. If i move my mouse around this blank
space (where the image should be) i get the popupswith the host info...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

 

Simon

Names in CGI configuration don't need to be Nagios contacts. The only
difference that I know of it that the CGI will fill-in your name
automatically in commands.

What actually happens when a service go down is that Nagios runs the
Host check and sends a notification only if the host check returns UP.
This way you won't get paged for all services on the host when the host
is down.

Hi,

I installed the nagios on my system but not able to run the status map, i tried to run it by installing the gdlib, libpng and libjpeg packages. 

Can anyone please tell me the right procedure to do this.

You need to have a machine that listens for SNMP traps.  The program
snmptrapd does this, it comes with net-snmp package.  This daemon
writes the trap info to the system log, or alternately runs a 
program and passes it the trap information.  That program can then
submit a check to nagios using NSCA or by writing to the nagios.cmd
pipe.

I found this article to be very helpful:

Subject: NDUUtils and Statechanges while a Host is DOWN
Message-ID: <462474FF.7090208@powo.priv.at>

Hello,

I've built a custom Web-Interface which generates
Service-Availability Reports from Nagios/NDO Database.

I'm using the tables nagios_servicestatus to determine
the current state and nagios_statehistory to read out
the history of a specific service.

Today I noticed, that there are no entries for a specific
Service in the  statehistory table while the host has been
considered as DOWN. so I couldn't see an outage (which effected
the complete host) in the Service-Availability-Report.

Is this an expected behaviour, that this state-changes are
not send to NDO ? (If yes, can you explain the reason)

What will be the correct way to query Availability and outages
of a single service ?

best regards, Wolfgang Powisch

First you need a trap handler properly set up to return passive results.
I use SNMPTT (http://www.snmptt.org/) though you may want to look at
OpsView (http://www.opsview.org/) as is seems to do a great job at
simplifying the trap setup.

Then you set up the service as "volatile". People usually disable active
checks and use freshness checking to get the trap reset automatically
after some time. If you rather want the service to stay in a non-OK
state until someone change it you can make it active (It won't be
scheduled if volatile) and have someone force an active check to reset
the trap.

In either case it the check command should looks like:

check_command  check_dummy!0!Trap reset on $LONGDATETIME$

and check_dummy should run something like:

$USER1$/check_dummy $ARG1$ $ARG2$

Great, thanks a lot! After that is finished, i'm looking forward to

Router & L3 Device CPU & Memory UtilizationYou can use check_snmp and provide the MIB.
Or take a look at the following website: http://nagios.manubulon.com/
It has some standard scripts that check the cpu/mem/interface for a router.

Indirectly, yes. There's no limit to the number of hosts but there is a
limit to the number of characters per line of config file that nagios
will read in. The default, MAX_XODTEMPLATE_INPUT_BUFFER in
xdata/xodtemplate.h, is 8196 characters under nagios-1. I've had success
in the past increasing that to 65535 and have had some _very_ long
hostgroup members lines. In fact, that's what the default is in
nagios-2.

Subject: Announce - Nagios to Cacti
Message-ID: <3745c6370704171316h20130beex4db72b804a255315@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,


I have release for my customers a project to interface Nagios and Cacti.
Nagios does the check and store perfdata with n2rrd in rrd base.
Nagios2Cacti will load Nagios configuration with Nagios::Object Perl library
and load N2RRD configuration and will create the configuration in Cacti to
each Nagios services with perfdata configurate in N2RRD.

By the way, you can use Nagios and Cacti for their best features :
* nagios to supervise, schedule, alerting
* cacti to graph, reporting in sexy interface

this project is accessible on sourceforge :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios2cacti/


Best regards,
Det.

I've put the hostgroup membership in the host definitions instead of the
hostgroup definition.  You still need to define the hostgroup even if it
has no members.

Indirectly, yes. There's no limit to the number of hosts but there is a
limit to the number of characters per line of config file that nagios
will read in. The default, MAX_XODTEMPLATE_INPUT_BUFFER in
xdata/xodtemplate.h, is 8196 characters under nagios-1. I've had success
in the past increasing that to 65535 and have had some _very_ long
hostgroup members lines. In fact, that's what the default is in
nagios-2.

Subject: check_dhcp
Message-ID: <460818.22300.qm@web36809.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Having a weird situation..

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp
DHCP ok: Received 1 DHCPOFFER(s), max lease time = 0 sec.

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp -s xx.xxx.xxx.xxx (our dhcp server)
DHCP problem: Received 3 DHCPOFFER(s), 0 of 1 requested servers responded, max lease time = 284400 sec.

why is it getting a DHCP okay when I do flat check_dhcp but when I specify I dont get a valid response.

Also, the verbose option does not give any more information.. but thats not really important..

Any thoughts?

I'm 99% sure this wasn't supported until nagios-2. Admittedly it's been
quite some time since I've looked at 1.x configs but the doccos don't
mention it until the Changelog for 2.0.

No suggestions here without the output from below...

It should. Testing with check_dhcp from plugins-1.4.3 (no dhcp server on
this network) --

./check_dhcp -v

Subject: Service Dependencies - how to make a new one
Message-ID: <0FE9FD8D9717A5448CA544F8BD27A0720194E8BD@duke.CITY.local>

Hi:
    Does anyone know how to make a service dependency work globally?
For example I want to do this but it doesn't seem to work (at least in
3.0a3)
 
define servicedependency {
  hostgroups       2003-servers, 200-servers, XP-servers
  service_description    NT_Stats_Port
  dependent_service_description UPTIME
  notification_failure_criteria w,c,u,p
}

WITH
 
define service{
   hostgroup_name                2003-servers, 2000-servers, XP-servers
   service_description           UPTIME
   check_command                 check_nt_uptime
   use          generic-service
}
 
AND
define service{
   hostgroup_name                2003-servers, 2000-servers, XP-servers
   service_description           NT_Stats_Port
   check_command                 check_tcp!1248
   use          generic-service
}
 
I get 2 errors:
Error: A circular notification dependency (which could result in a
deadlock) exists for service 'NT_Stats_Port' on host 'hosta'!
Error: A circular notification dependency (which could result in a
deadlock) exists for service 'UPTIME' on host 'hosta'!

 
 
Thanks in advance

Message-ID: <8F21AD7B7B42F540A179BD35126305B39CDAD7@IGTEBLREXC01.igatecorp.com>

HI all

 

If any one of you know the solution for my question please do reply to
the same mail Id from which I am sending my mail.

 

My doubt is:

 

1.whether we (as a user of Nagios tool) will be allowed to modify the
shell program internally or not

 

2. How the alert message is getting created when ever something is
happened? Which method is responsible for this activity? 

Whether we can modify this method to include the hyperlink/url which we
got from an external source?

Thanking you all

 

 

Regards

 

Radha Gollapinni

I better write in english, as some mailinglist members have their 
difficulties with german. ;-)

Thanks a lot for the new version! The blacklist switch works like a 
charme, both as an argument and as a file. And even better: in the

Hi,

I'm wondering what you want to know... you can do almost everything with 
Nagios - that's described in the license - but, as far as I know, there 
is no shell program included in a typical Nagios system.

If, after modifying the core program, it's ok to still use the name 
Nagios is another question. You'll have to discuss that with Ethan.

But, reading your original mail, I suppose it might be best for you to 
first read and understand the manual and the license and then ask for 
clarifications or help when you encounter specific problems. The points 
you asked are, IMO, both clearly described in the documentation 
available at the project web site and with the source.

Regards,

Arno

Hi

I have installed all the SNMP related plugins at my nagios box.

Now where should I specify SNMP string & other router related
information like hostname?

Thanks in advance.

Guys.. I have some nagios questions.

1. Is there a way to make users that can login thru the web interface
and
check hosts but disable them from getting email notifications of
statuses?

2. I don't know why buyt nagios is checking services too fast for my
taste,
for example, ping service, I check the log and I get the first 

HOST ALERT: ipaq;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (10.0.0.14)
.
.
HOST ALERT: ipaq;DOWN;HARD;10;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (10.0.0.14)

SERVICE ALERT: ipaq;ping;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable
(10.0.0.14)

But from the down soft 1 host  alert to the 10th it only goes by like 1
second... why are those 10 soft check going by that fast?

3. Is there a way to disable hosts up down recovery notifications and
just
let the ping service alert me? Ive noticed that many times I get host
downs
and ups a lot but no ping service notifications.. seems my host check
command is way to sensible... can this be mnodified?

Hope Im not asking too many stupid questions :)

Yes. Set the contacts so they don't receive alerts using
service_notification_options. See the docs about contact configuration
here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact

That's normal -- host checks will run serially as fast as they can. See
the docs on host checks here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html#host_checks

If you don't want host check functionality, use a host check that will
never go down (check_dummy is a good plugin to use for this).

I have Nagios 2.9 installed on OpenSuSE 10.2. 

 

The following are installed

 

*         lgd 

*         gd-devel 

*         libpng 

*         libpng-devel 

*         libjpeg 

*         libjpeg-devel 

*         zlib 

*         zlib-devel

 

Nagios compiled without errors and statusmap.cgi is present.

 

When i try to access the statusmap page i get the normal page but no
image. I get a square with an X. If i move my mouse around this blank
space (where the image should be) i get the popupswith the host info...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

 

Simon

Names in CGI configuration don't need to be Nagios contacts. The only
difference that I know of it that the CGI will fill-in your name
automatically in commands.

What actually happens when a service go down is that Nagios runs the
Host check and sends a notification only if the host check returns UP.
This way you won't get paged for all services on the host when the host
is down.

You need to have a machine that listens for SNMP traps.  The program
snmptrapd does this, it comes with net-snmp package.  This daemon
writes the trap info to the system log, or alternately runs a 
program and passes it the trap information.  That program can then
submit a check to nagios using NSCA or by writing to the nagios.cmd
pipe.

I found this article to be very helpful:

Hello,

I've built a custom Web-Interface which generates
Service-Availability Reports from Nagios/NDO Database.

I'm using the tables nagios_servicestatus to determine
the current state and nagios_statehistory to read out
the history of a specific service.

Today I noticed, that there are no entries for a specific
Service in the  statehistory table while the host has been
considered as DOWN. so I couldn't see an outage (which effected
the complete host) in the Service-Availability-Report.

Is this an expected behaviour, that this state-changes are
not send to NDO ? (If yes, can you explain the reason)

What will be the correct way to query Availability and outages
of a single service ?

best regards, Wolfgang Powisch

First you need a trap handler properly set up to return passive results.
I use SNMPTT (http://www.snmptt.org/) though you may want to look at
OpsView (http://www.opsview.org/) as is seems to do a great job at
simplifying the trap setup.

Then you set up the service as "volatile". People usually disable active
checks and use freshness checking to get the trap reset automatically
after some time. If you rather want the service to stay in a non-OK
state until someone change it you can make it active (It won't be
scheduled if volatile) and have someone force an active check to reset
the trap.

In either case it the check command should looks like:

check_command  check_dummy!0!Trap reset on $LONGDATETIME$

and check_dummy should run something like:

$USER1$/check_dummy $ARG1$ $ARG2$

Hi
 
I'm using Nagios 2.8 version & right now I'm using Nagios to monitor the
server resources like HDD, CPU, Memory & Ping etc.
 
Now I want to monitor router & layer 3 CPU & memory utilization.

So please suggest me the way forward.

Router & L3 Device CPU & Memory UtilizationYou can use check_snmp and
provide the MIB.
Or take a look at the following website: http://nagios.manubulon.com/
It has some standard scripts that check the cpu/mem/interface for a
router.

I tried searching online but could not find out if there is a limit to
number of hosts that can be added to a particular hostgroup in nagios
1.x ?

I'm seeking information on monitoring power distribution units

been searching around and there is little to find.  If anyone is doing
this with Nagios I'd love to hear about it.

Indirectly, yes. There's no limit to the number of hosts but there is a
limit to the number of characters per line of config file that nagios
will read in. The default, MAX_XODTEMPLATE_INPUT_BUFFER in
xdata/xodtemplate.h, is 8196 characters under nagios-1. I've had success
in the past increasing that to 65535 and have had some _very_ long
hostgroup members lines. In fact, that's what the default is in
nagios-2.

I have been reading this check_hpasm thread and looked at some of the 
documentation which seems to suggest the plugin is used for monitoring HP 
proliant hardware that is only running a linux system. 

Does anyone know of any tweaks or similar plugins that can get the same 
sort of information from Proliant servers running Windows. Or a plugin 
that can take the data gleamed from Insight Manager and display it into 
Nagios.

If anyone can point me in the right direction to a URL that provides 
further reading that would be greatly appreciated. 

Many thanks for any and all comments.

Joe

go read the docs, it's all completely configurable, for example I have 
both emails and windows net send alerts and you can modify the contents 
to suit your own needs.

read the __all__ the docs at least twice before posting, they are very 
good and will be able to answers these basic questions.

post if you have read every page of the docs twice and do not understand 
something.

the first test just checks to see if someone gives a dhcp lease.

the second will fail unless that specific server gives a dhcp lease.

it's possible you have a dhcp server trying to give a 0 second lease or 
the plugin may have a bug, are you sure it said 1 DHCPOFFER and max 
lease time 0 seconds?

try -vvv to see who is giving you these leases.

You generally only need 1 dhcp server per subnet or if you have more you 
should make sure they have non-overlapping address pools. I actually 
made a wrapper script to this to actually warn me of rogue dhcp servers 
on the network after an incident with some clumsy person installing 
vmware with it's dhcp and sending a laptop off to the wrong subnet... so 
you might want to check why the second attempt says you had 3 DHCPOFFERS.

I would investigate if that was the case on my network...

Sorry every one. Almost all mails I got saying the same thing.

Actually I want to know how exactly the alerts are getting generated.
That's why I asked

Sorry for giving trouble to all of you. And thanks for whom replied me

i'll throw you an extra bone.

not sure about new installs but in mine install it's in a file called 
misccommand.cfg

Very basically there you define the command to execute as a notification 
- the definition looks similar to all nagios definitions each command is 
within curly braces and one line for each setting. Use that command in 
your contact definitions.

the file misccommands.cfg or whatever you have is sourced from 
nagios.cfg or your equivalent.

Run '/path/to/check_vhost --help' from the command line. This isn't a
standard plugin so hopefully it follows plugin standards. If not you'll
have to look at the source for the plugin to see or tell us where you
got it so we can look for you.

If that's just a name for a command definition that uses some other
plugin, do the same for that plugin.

I don't know what insight manager from HP does,
it would have helped if you told us.

I take it that the overall problem you want to
solve is monitoring disk(s).

Have you tried check_disk for space problems
and check_sensors for S.M.A.R.T. disks.
check_linux_raid for Linux software RAID.

On nagiosexchange you'll find some Solaris specific
checks for disk health including mirrored devices.
I do believe I've seen some HP specific ones as well.

If you state your problem more clearly,
it's easier to help you out.

Cheers
/Lars

Subject: updates killing my files
Message-ID: <46261ACC.9060105@pic.es>

Hello, I think we have a poblem with Red Hat rpm's.
When an update occurs, rpm erases all the files I modofied
in /usr/share/nagios/ without making a backup.

F.E.
the original  /usr/share/nagios/side.html is orrible, I modify it and
the update trash it for me. thanks.
the original  /usr/share/nagios/index.html was very bad, I modify it and
the update trash it for me. thanks.

could the rpm backup these files like it does for the ones in /etc/nagios ??

Now I can do it for me, but i can be good for everybody

Thanks

This is how the rpm is built. The files in /etc/ are listed as config
files with the %noreplace option, so they get left alone. The files in
/usr/share/ get no such protection. While I would like to see the
nuvola theme made the default, I understand this behavior of rpm, and
just work around it.

Hi,

the "official" 1.3 is now available at
http://www.consol.de/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm
There's an option --with-degrees for ./configure which lets you chose
between temperatures displayed as celsius or fahrenheit.
The second and important new thing is the --blacklist option.
And for Sim i added Trustix support.

Have fun,
Gerhard

p.s. there was a question wether something like hpasm exists for Windows. I
don't monitor Windows servers, i think there is a snmp-based plugin
check_compaq_health. No idea, what has to be installed on the machine.

How alerts are generated varies; they are sent by a program external to
nagios that you define in your configuration.

Hi, 


I have release for my customers a project to interface Nagios and Cacti. Nagios does the check and store perfdata with n2rrd in rrd base. Nagios2Cacti will load Nagios configuration with Nagios::Object Perl library and load N2RRD configuration and will create the configuration in Cacti to each Nagios services with perfdata configurate in N2RRD. 

By the way, you can use Nagios and Cacti for their best features : 
* nagios to supervise, schedule, alerting
* cacti to graph, reporting in sexy interface

this project is accessible on sourceforge : http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios2cacti/


Best regards,
Det.

if I try passing any argument while trying to specify IP I get this

I tried to see if I can find another dhcp plugin but no luck.

That's my version and it works fine, what doesn't yours say?

Subject: NDOUtils and Status Information
Message-ID: <E2F1BF1D85435146B4B564C74ED7116A019D469F@exchange.excapsa.local>

Hello All,

Is there a method to pull nagios status information from an NDOUtils
database for nagios at start time?

I have used nagios 1.4 for a long time, using the database for my status
information.  I had linuxHA set up to switch to start nagios on a second
node should some natural disaster take my production nagios offline.
The second nagios would gather all status information from the database
and continue on as if nothing had happened.   Other than the alert that
told us of the demise of our server, there was little to no interruption
in monitoring.  Alerts stayed acknowledged.  Scheduled Downtime stayed
scheduled.  Notifications we did not want to hear from anymore stayed
muted.

I have now upgraded to nagios 2.8 and installed NDOUtils so I can
continue to work this way....however, I cannot seem to find a way for
nagios to discover the status of the dead nagios host the way nagios 1.4
did so effortlessly.  Am I missing something?

Janet

Not directly, no. ndoutils is still in development, and there's very
little real integration between it and Nagios.

You could write a script that pulled status data from the database and
rebuilt the file on the failover side, but at this point there's not
really an easier way to handle it (unless someone out there's written
the script already).

The easy workaround for me is:
  - copy index.html to index.html.SHIPPED
  - edit index.html to my liking
  - create a diff file (diff -u index.html.SHIPPED index.html > index.html.diff)

Then after an package update I can apply the patch once again.

Done this ever sinds 2.0b(something) untill present day 2.9

Guys.. I have some nagios questions.

1. Is there a way to make users that can login thru the web interface and
check hosts but disable them from getting email notifications of statuses?

2. I don't know why buyt nagios is checking services too fast for my taste,
for example, ping service, I check the log and I get the first 

HOST ALERT: ipaq;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (10.0.0.14) .
.
HOST ALERT: ipaq;DOWN;HARD;10;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (10.0.0.14)

SERVICE ALERT: ipaq;ping;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable
(10.0.0.14)

But from the down soft 1 host  alert to the 10th it only goes by like 1
second... why are those 10 soft check going by that fast?

3. Is there a way to disable hosts up down recovery notifications and just
let the ping service alert me? Ive noticed that many times I get host downs
and ups a lot but no ping service notifications.. seems my host check
command is way to sensible... can this be mnodified?

Hope Im not asking too many stupid questions :)

Yes. Set the contacts so they don't receive alerts using
service_notification_options. See the docs about contact configuration
here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact

That's normal -- host checks will run serially as fast as they can. See the
docs on host checks here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html#host_checks

If you don't want host check functionality, use a host check that will never
go down (check_dummy is a good plugin to use for this).

I have Nagios 2.9 installed on OpenSuSE 10.2. 

 

The following are installed

 

*         lgd 

*         gd-devel 

*         libpng 

*         libpng-devel 

*         libjpeg 

*         libjpeg-devel 

*         zlib 

*         zlib-devel

 

Nagios compiled without errors and statusmap.cgi is present.

 

When i try to access the statusmap page i get the normal page but no image.
I get a square with an X. If i move my mouse around this blank space (where
the image should be) i get the popupswith the host info...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

 

Simon

Names in CGI configuration don't need to be Nagios contacts. The only
difference that I know of it that the CGI will fill-in your name
automatically in commands.

What actually happens when a service go down is that Nagios runs the Host
check and sends a notification only if the host check returns UP.
This way you won't get paged for all services on the host when the host is
down.

Hi,

I installed the nagios on my system but not able to run the status map, i
tried to run it by installing the gdlib, libpng and libjpeg packages. 

Can anyone please tell me the right procedure to do this.

Some internal server error is coming when i clicked on the statusmap.

Hello.

I have to monitor a "thing" that works with snmptraps, but I don`t know what
I have to do.
I have read something about check_dummy        How is it works?
And then what i have to do, Create a service with passice_ check activate,
and using the check_dummy command?
Thanks,

You need to have a machine that listens for SNMP traps.  The program
snmptrapd does this, it comes with net-snmp package.  This daemon writes the
trap info to the system log, or alternately runs a program and passes it the
trap information.  That program can then submit a check to nagios using NSCA
or by writing to the nagios.cmd pipe.

I found this article to be very helpful:

Hello,

I've built a custom Web-Interface which generates Service-Availability
Reports from Nagios/NDO Database.

I'm using the tables nagios_servicestatus to determine the current state and
nagios_statehistory to read out the history of a specific service.

Today I noticed, that there are no entries for a specific Service in the
statehistory table while the host has been considered as DOWN. so I couldn't
see an outage (which effected the complete host) in the
Service-Availability-Report.

Is this an expected behaviour, that this state-changes are not send to NDO ?
(If yes, can you explain the reason)

What will be the correct way to query Availability and outages of a single
service ?

First you need a trap handler properly set up to return passive results.
I use SNMPTT (http://www.snmptt.org/) though you may want to look at OpsView
(http://www.opsview.org/) as is seems to do a great job at simplifying the
trap setup.

Then you set up the service as "volatile". People usually disable active
checks and use freshness checking to get the trap reset automatically after
some time. If you rather want the service to stay in a non-OK state until
someone change it you can make it active (It won't be scheduled if volatile)
and have someone force an active check to reset the trap.

In either case it the check command should looks like:

check_command  check_dummy!0!Trap reset on $LONGDATETIME$

and check_dummy should run something like:

$USER1$/check_dummy $ARG1$ $ARG2$

Router & L3 Device CPU & Memory UtilizationYou can use check_snmp and
provide the MIB.
Or take a look at the following website: http://nagios.manubulon.com/ It has
some standard scripts that check the cpu/mem/interface for a router.

Indirectly, yes. There's no limit to the number of hosts but there is a
limit to the number of characters per line of config file that nagios
will read in. The default, MAX_XODTEMPLATE_INPUT_BUFFER in
xdata/xodtemplate.h, is 8196 characters under nagios-1. I've had success
in the past increasing that to 65535 and have had some _very_ long
hostgroup members lines. In fact, that's what the default is in
nagios-2.

Use a network monitoring tool such tcpdump while executing the

Subject: Memory Usage per plug-in
Message-ID: <7ad6d2f90704190342l543135e9t4d1f94d99eea25cc@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Nagiosers,

I'm just starting my school project in writing plug-ins for Nagios, it's my
first time with Nagios and im also learning more about Linux.
In this project i installed Nagios on a Linux box and run several plug-ins.
My question is:
Is there any way that we can know how much memory and cpu percentage do we
need
when running 1 plug-in?
I need to make an estimation how much memory and cpu it will take to run
around 300 to 900 plug-ins.

Could you share with me how much memory and cpu does your Nagios plug-in
requires when they run?

Thank you,
Adi Yesaya

Hi Marc,

Install a widows plugin onto the Windows Host.
I recomend NC_NEt, then use check_nt or compile and use check_nc_net
if using check_nc_net the syntex is in the help "check_nc_net
--help=COUNTER"

nc_net is availible from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

There are also other plugins availibles for monitoring windows. see nagios
exchange or review through this mailing lists archives.

Good Luck,
Tony (author of NC_net)

Hi,

i made a plugin which integrates the SUN Storagetek Common Array Manager
into Nagios. The CAM is a management software for SUN StorEdge 6130 and SUN
StorageTek 6140 and 6540 Storage arrays. So with this plugin you can monitor
a bunch of these storage devices. You can download it from
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-sstcam

Greetings from Munich,

Hi Anthony,
 
What is then the exact syntax?
 
This will not work:
 
define command{
        command_name    check_nt_disc_average_sec_write
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v
"PhysicalDisk\Average Disk sec/Write" -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}

 
thx,
 
Marc

Is there a way to just use SNMP to monitor windows machines in Nagios.
We have a lot of servers and installing an agent like NSClient++ would
be a real pain, when they all run SNMP already. Any ideas?

Get the OIDs of the parameters you want to watch (HDD space, CPU load, MEM 
consumption, ...) and define services based on check_snmp. We are doing this 
without and problem. Contect me if you have further questions.

Sample for CPU load in windows:

define command {
        command_name    check_win_load
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H \ 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -o .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2 -n -w :95 -c :250
        }

Use the Microsoft SNMP service, and look at Patrick Proy's snmp
plugins.

I've had good success with them.

The Check command from the Nagios v3.x Documentation should be better to use
in most situations:

define command{
	command_name	check_nt
	command_line	$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
	}

(make sure port matches your systems and change it to check_nc_net if
using it in place of check_nt)

as for the service definition the problems with the one you proposed
was A) it is missing the instance, B) it mispelled the counter name,
avg. instead of average

If you upgrade to NC_NEt then the Counter name, counter instaces and
the Counter Category could have been checked remotly. using
ENUMCOUNTER and INSTANCES (check_nc_net is required to use these
commands and it is backwards compatible with Check_nt)

>From the command line this is the prefered syntex if your using NC_NEt
because it eliminates the \ and () making the parsing of instance and
catagory a bit easier. (this syntex works when using either check_nt
and check_nc_net. on NC_NEt only)

./check_nt -H notebook1 -v COUNTER -l '^PhysicalDisk^_total^avg. disk sec/write'
otherwise the older command line syntex that should work on most
clients(including NC_NEt):

./check_nt -H notebook1 -v COUNTER -l '\PhysicalDisk(_total)\avg. disk
sec/write'

For the Service definition using the above check command would look
like: (only valid for NC_NEt)

check_command check_nt!COUNTER!-l '^PhysicalDisk^_total^avg. disk
sec/write' -w 2 -c 5

For all other check_nt hosts the syntex would be:

        check_command  check_nt!COUNTER!-l
'\\PhysicalDisk(_total)\\avg. disk sec/write' -w 2 -c 5



once again, most of this information should be availible in
documentation and in help files, I know NC_NEt has this information in
its "./check_nc_net --help=COUNTER" as well as in its documentaion.

You can do the NSclient installs remotely by staging it on a common
share, have a .cmd file something like this:
mkdir c:\nsclient
@if   "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" goto :EXIT
copy C:\\temp\nsclient\Win_2k_XP_Bin\* c:\nsclient
@if   "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" echo "error occurred while copying files"
c:\nsclient\pNSClient.exe /install
@if   "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" echo "error running pNSClient"
net start nsclient
@if   "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="1" echo "error occured while starting nsclient service"

The above can be remotely run thru a variety of mechanisms, even submitting a
remote scheduler job to run once. Then just write a script to install
on all your
servers once it's been tested. It's worth it in the longrun.

Hello Nagios-Users,

 

I am preparing to deploy the lastest Nagios to replace our current
monitoring system. I have tested some commercial applications for
testing applications but am now looking at open source methods that will
report up into the nagios interface. For instance check_website seems to
be a good starting place for us. However I would like to get a feel for
what products others are using for this type of monitoring. Basically I
want to be able to log on a web application and do a search on a
specific keyword, I would like to be able to pass back to nagios some
search time data and some load time data along with the state of the
application.

Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You

Brady Maxwell

Hi,
 
With SNMP on Windows machines, you can check with the check_snmp_* scripts
(http://nagios.manubulon.com) : 
- Disk Usage (check_snmp_storage.pl)
- Virtual memory usage (check_snmp_storage.pl)
- Windows Service state (check_snmp_win.pl)
- Process state, memory and CPU usage (check_snmp_process.pl)
- Interface state & bandwidth (check_snmp_int.pl)
- CPU usage (check_snmp_load.pl)
 
Without any installation on the windows machine, you can also make some
checks using WMI with some perl modules (never found a good plugin for
this), and with samba (for disks mainly) : have a look at
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Windows.49.0.html.

Objet : [Nagios-users] Just using SNMP



Is there a way to just use SNMP to monitor windows machines in Nagios. We
have a lot of servers and installing an agent like NSClient++ would be a
real pain, when they all run SNMP already. Any ideas?

webinject would be your other option here. There are a few references
to webinject on the mailing list. Steve Shipway's check_website does
look like a good starting point - on casual inspection it has a lower
learning curve than webinject.

Hi all, is there any way to get on the status map the STATE of the services
of the hosts and not the Status of the host (up or down).

If some service goes down or have some problem in the status map it show the
host in a red color... tha has something bad with that machine...

Any idea how to get it?

Message-ID: <7E630CF366B8404DA6AD5908338D64170DB786@SAUSEXMB2.amd.com>

Since an upgrade from Nagios 2.8 to 2.9 I'm getting this error in the
gui for check-nfs:

**ePN failed to compile /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rpc: "Can't locate
utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: nagios/plugins

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl

check-nfs uses the check_rpc plugin:

define command {
        command_name    check-nfs
        command_line    $USER1$/check_rpc -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C nfs -c2,3
}

However, the check_rpc plugin seems to work from the command line:

-bash-2.05b$ cd /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
-bash-2.05b$ ./check_rpc -H myhost -C nfs -c2,3
OK: RPC program nfs version 2 version 3 udp running

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks,
Jesse

check-nfs uses the check_rpc plugin:

define command {
        command_name    check-nfs
        command_line    $USER1$/check_rpc -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C nfs -c2,3
}

However, the check_rpc plugin seems to work from the command line:

-bash-2.05b$ cd /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
-bash-2.05b$ ./check_rpc -H myhost -C nfs -c2,3
OK: RPC program nfs version 2 version 3 udp running

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks,
Jesse

Subject: Resetting nagios checks
Message-ID: <003f01c78367$c91b2ce0$b97461d1@ad.checkpoint.com>

The network at my work went down and it caused all the nagios checks to
fail. We got the network back up and working, but the nagios checks haven't
resumed - when I look at the "last check" it says 8 hours ago. I tried
restarting the nagios process on the server but that didn't work. I even did
a manual service check from the GUI "re-schedule the next check for this
service" and that didn't work either. Any ideas?

Message-ID: <7F477BD26F545A4C8E4779754A38EFB30126EE21@PEPWMV00043.corp.pep.pvt>


Hello.

I have the Nagios Plugins 1.4.8.  Is it possible to make check_http use
a proxy to talk to another host?  We had been using an older version of
check_http_perl which will allow us to use a proxy host.  I'm converting
most of our checks to use the check_http code and I don't see anything
that indicates that I can tell it to use a proxy.  Is this possible?

I figure this must be a frequently asked question, but I can't find the
answer anywhere.

thanks

Mark

Hello

There is a patch in nagiosexchange for the statusmap that will change the
color of the green round circle to yellow = warning
red = critical if one of the service states has changed. the only downside
if you do parents / child's connections the circle disappear

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Patches_2_0.67.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=386

Hope it helped

Hello

usually its related to orphaned services. nagios 1.x and 2.x checks hosts in
serial processing rather the parallel processing like in services
if you have multiple hosts down the whole schedule thing get messy.
i can recommend 2 things:
1) disable host checks and only rely on service checks.
2) set *retain_state_information* to 0.

when you restart nagios when retain_state_information is 0 it will flush the
whole checks and restart from scratch.
hopefully those problems will go away on nagios 3.x with the new host checks
mechanism

Hope it Helped

Yes, using the -H, -I and -u parameters. For example, the following
command will request www.example.bar through the proxy located at
$HOSTADDRESS$ via port 8080 and verify that it sees either '/html' or
'/HTML' --


define command {                   
    command_name                   check_caching
    command_line                   $USER1$/check_http -H www.example.bar
-I $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 8080 -wt 20 -ct 30 -to 35 -u http://www.example.bar
-R \/html
    }

You could try the Nagios Extended Status Map
http://nexsm.sourceforge.net - It's very good but can be a little
tricky to install.

Subject: Nagios, Zabbix, OpenNMS?
Message-ID: <462C6042.6040504@gmx.de>

Hello,

i work at a german research institute.
We are searching for a good monitoring tool, which can control many PCs
with Debian Linux and some with Windows.
We already have a Nagios with many selfmade scripts here, but my boss
also wants statistics with nice graphs like rrdtool.  ;-) 
The nagiosgrapher isn`t running yet, because of some problems with cpan
and perl.

Does anybody have some experiences with Zabbix, OpenNMS or Cacti? I read
something about nagios scripts support in the latest opennms version?

We also need "special" scripts for swapping, cpu, printers (SNMP),
bacula (backup), SMART, ...
So what can you recommend?


Regards,
Carsten Philipp

We use NagiosGrapher, it's brilliant.

I haven't tried NagiosGrapher.  I'd also recommend PNP for nice graphs.

http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp  (in German)
http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp_en  (in English)

If you have problems with Perl, you might need to resolve them to get
PNP working.  A common problem is that your nagios binary might have
been compiled with the embedded perl option enabled.

As for special scripts, it's quite easy to find some in (for example)
http//www.nagiosexchange.org or to write your own.

I hope this helps,

Cheers,

Jim

The only problem Ive found with this is the https component. It doesnt
appear to speak "connect" when talking to the proxy.

I have never used Nagiosgrapher but cacti is very easy to setup, maintain, operate and is very scalable.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios, Zabbix, OpenNMS?

Hello,

i work at a german research institute.
We are searching for a good monitoring tool, which can control many PCs
with Debian Linux and some with Windows.
We already have a Nagios with many selfmade scripts here, but my boss
also wants statistics with nice graphs like rrdtool.  ;-) 
The nagiosgrapher isn`t running yet, because of some problems with cpan
and perl.

Does anybody have some experiences with Zabbix, OpenNMS or Cacti? I read
something about nagios scripts support in the latest opennms version?

We also need "special" scripts for swapping, cpu, printers (SNMP),
bacula (backup), SMART, ...
So what can you recommend?


Regards,
Carsten Philipp

The biggest problem I have with OpenNMS and Zabbix is the reliance on
SNMP. Most of the checks I do arent SNMP checks. What would be best is
if the plugins for Nagios could be used on OpenNMS or Zabbix or
another network monitor.

I personally use Oreon for Debian. www.oreon-project.org. It's probably the best substitute for groundwork for debian.

Read the script usage (check_snmp_win.pl -h), then probably remove the "-T"
option or put "-T service".

Oddly enough I'm a big advocate of using SNMP with Nagios. It
leverages existing tools, and then plugins can suppliment the
functionality. Also, managing NRPE etc in a large environment means
additional software overhead. It is only suitable for LAN environments
though.

Just my $0.02.

Not off hand, but it looks like you should find the solution in the
NexSM SourceForge forum here:

**Where are your nagios etc directory ? /etc/nagios2
**Where are your nagios plugin / libexec directory ? /usr/lib/nagios/plugin
**Where do I install Oreon ? /usr/local/oreon
**Where is sudo ? /etc/sudoers
**Where is RRD perl modules RRDs.pm? /usr/bin/rrdtool

Well first off i'd suggest going to the oreon forums for this... there's 
some stuff labeled there.
Second the rrds.pm is in the wrong path. you'd wanna adjust that. it's 
asking for the perl module not the binary
Third you usually define your nagios version after you run the php install.
It asks which version you're using and sets up the paramaters accordingly

Oreon does not test Nagios version. You have to configure it during web

Do you have any existence of another nagios version on your computer? if 
you do get rid of it. it's possible picking up an old nagios installation

Subject: check cluster plugin
Message-ID: <462D15BE.5010900@nttmcl.com>

Hi i was trying to use the check cluster plugin from the contrib 
directory in the nagios plugins download but i get the following:

./check_cluster2.c: line 1: /backup: is a directory
./check_cluster2.c: line 2: aix: command not found
./check_cluster2.c: line 3: aix: command not found
./check_cluster2.c: line 4: aix: command not found
./check_cluster2.c: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./check_cluster2.c: line 5: ` * Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Ethan Galstad 
(nagios at nagios.org)'

i'm just suppose to copy the files from the contrib directory to the 
plugins directory i'm using right?
Or am i suppose to configure them and do make and all that stuff?
cause if so can someone give me the command for making and installing 
the contrib plugins?

Thanks

You're going to need to compile it first.  You're running the source
code.

uhh what's the command to compile it? i know that's a dumb question but 
i dont see any configure or make files in the directory
is there a flag for the main configure command to install contrib plugins?

James,

Can you try the snapshot at http://nagiosplug.sf.net/snapshot.  
check_cluster2 has been recently moved into core and renamed as  
check_cluster.

Ok thanks that's working great.

I had one more question about this cluster plugin tho.

So for instance when i'm running the plugin i'm checking the plugin 
against an ip address.
However say if i want the notification to send back the hostname that's 
failing how would i do that?

so for instance
-d $HOSTSTATEID:ipaddress$

that would give information about the host state and give back an ip 
address in notification but is there anyway to include a hostname in the 
notification as well?
Like anyway to append a comment to the $HOSTSTATEID:ipaddress$

that way when i get a notification i don't just get a number. i get an 
actual name identified with the ip address.

Thanks Much

The name should be the host/service name in your notification email. I.e.

define service {
  host_name           ClusterNode
  service_description My Cluster
  check_command
check_cluster!$HOSTSTATEID:1.2.3.4$,$HOSTSTATEID:4.3.2.1$,$HOSTSTATEID:2.1.4.3$
  [...]
}

Then you would get notified for service "My Cluster" on host
"ClusterNode" if
$HOSTSTATEID:1.2.3.4$,$HOSTSTATEID:4.3.2.1$,$HOSTSTATEID:2.1.4.3$ exceed
 set thresholds.

Subject: Check_vnstat small contribution + question ofcourse
Message-ID: <27FA63FC15F4C243A37B07D57C891E3C063CF824@ws03-exchange.iconos.be>

I know this is not the right place for this, but this is but i have made
a (my first ) nagios plugin. 
Vnstat monitors networktraffic for a specified nic. And this plugins
notifies when the daily traffic gets to much.

I noticed one problem. When the traffic exceeds the 1Gb the numberformat
changes.  I fixed that but when the vnstat returns exactly 1000 MB or
2000MB
The plugin fails tho add this  traffic=$(($traffic + $mb))  because $MB
is zero, a hint from a scripting expert would be nice.

#!/bin/bash

warn=$1
critical=$2
eth="eth0"
eth=$3

if [ "$1" -eq 0 ]
  then
   echo "invalid use no warn value"
fi

if [ "$2" -eq 0 ]
  then
   echo "invalid use no critical value"
fi

#if [ "${#$eth}" -eq 0  ]
#  then

  mb=${traffic:2}
  mb=`echo ${mb}`
  #echo "aantal giga :" + $giga
  traffic=$(($giga * 1000))
  #echo "aantal mb :" + $mb
  traffic=$(($traffic + $mb))
  #echo $traffic + " in MB"
fi

traffic=${traffic/.*}
#let traffic=$traffic /1
#echo "current traffic :" + $traffic
if [ "$traffic" -gt "$2"  ]
then
   echo "Critical;current = $traffic;"  + $line
   exit 2

 then
   echo "Warning;current = $traffic;" + $line
   exit 1

I still get 2nd authentication dialog box.  I haven't bothered to fix
that.  I guess the best way (for me anyway) would be to use ldap
rather than htaccess authentication.  Not something I  know how to do
(yet).  Otherwise I guess you could configure Apache not to require
authentication when supplying the .jar files.

As for signing the .jar files  I remember finding some decent (easy)
notes on how to do that after a fair bit of googling.  Hopefully I
bookmarked it at home because I can't find it in my bookmarks here!
I'll have a look when I get home and get back to you.

Cheers,

Jim

Subject: NDO documentation
Message-ID: <462DE99C.9050002@lamp.xs4all.nl>

Hello,

I'm looking for the explanation for some files of NDO database. These
fields arn't covered in
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/ndoutils/NDOUtils_DB_Model.pdf (yet).

In the service table there is a field config_type (also in the hosts)
table. This field is filled with either a '0' of a '1'. I have some
databases where hosts/services have two rows, one with a 0 fill, the
other with the '1' fill. Other databases only got the '0' with
services/hosts.

For an application i programma's to use always the '1' as data, but this
go wrong with other databases. Now i want to use the right config, but i
don't know the use of this field. Can somebody explain the use of this
field.

Thanx,

Lennard

Message-ID: <60721B67EAF0994EAFFB561767B700140125D7CB@nets13ha.ww300.siemens.net>

Hi all,
 
in my nagios-event-log i'm getting the following entries when receiving SNMP-Traps from a RAID-System:

[2007-04-24 08:00:29] Warning: Passive check result was received for service 'EonStore-Trap' on host 'aptcc7fc-2', but the host could not be found!
[2007-04-24 08:00:29] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;aptcc7fc-2;EonStore-Trap;0;Warning: SMART-Slot:3 Predictable Failure Detected(TEST)
 
but the host "atpcc7fc-2" is configured in hosts.cfg
 
hosts.cfg:
 
define host {
        use generic-host
        host_name atpcc7fc-2
        alias EonStore-2
        address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
        parents atpcc7fc
        check_command check-host-alive
        hostgroups Backup-Devices
        contact_groups backup-admins
}

services.cfg:
 
define service {
        use t_eonstore_trap
        service_description EonStore-Trap
        check_command check-none
        host_name atpcc7fc-2
        contact_groups backup-admins
}
 
 
so, what could be the reason why Nagios doesn't recognize this host?
 
thanks a lot,
chris

Subject: $USER1$
Message-ID: <D34E2E139C3B86498D9FAB0F86FAB659060170FE@dovmsx00.dover.internal>

When declaring new commands do I need to sub out the $USER1$ arguments
for anything, or can those stay there?

 

Define command{

            Command_name            check_snmp_win

            Command_line               $USER1$/check_snmp_win.pl -V 2 -H
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -C <communityname> -N BESAlert -T BESAlert

            }



Would that be the proper way to define this new command on my Blackberry
Enterprise server?

 

Here is what the service looks like:

 

Define service{

            Host_name        XXXXXXX

            Service_description        BES Alert

            Check_command           check_snmp_win!BESAlert

            Max_check_attempts     5

            Normal_check_interval    5

            Retry_check_interval      1

            Check_period 24x7

            }

 

 

Thanks a lot.

The $USER1$ macro typically refers to the location in which the majority of
your plugins are stored (usually this is $Nagios_home/libexec). Rather than
having to type out the full path to your plugin everytime you define a
command, you can use the $USER1$ macro as a shortcut.

If the plugin for the new command you are defining is in the same directory
as the rest of your plugins, the simply maintain your use of $USER1$. If the
plugin resides elsewhere on your filesystem, you will either need to provide
the full path in your command definition, or define a second macro with the
command location and use that.

When defining the service, simply use the name of the command.

Spot the difference:

aptcc7fc-2
atpcc7fc-2

it's easily done!

Subject: Passive host results & soft states?
Message-ID: <200704241150.l3OBolU6018693@muppetlabs.com>


Howdy,

Host A is a server which sends passive host/service results to host B
via NSCA. When a single host check fails on host C (a machine
monitored by host A) host A considers host C to be a SOFT state, where
host B (the one that actually sends notifications) considers host C to
be in a HARD state.  This causes me a lot of problems because often
just one host check will fail, yet I still get a notification.

Here are some log entries that illustrate this:

Log entry from host A:

Wed Mar 21 02:29:02 2007 HOST ALERT:
prod-mysql-1a;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (prod-mysql-1a)

Log entry from host B:

Wed Mar 21 02:29:04 2007 EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT;prod-mysql-1a;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (prod-mysql-1a)
Wed Mar 21 02:29:04 2007 HOST ALERT:
prod-mysql-1a;DOWN;HARD;1;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (prod-mysql-1a)

Host A defines its hosts using this template:

define host {
        name                            server
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        failure_prediction_enabled      1
        max_check_attempts              4
        notification_period             24x7
        freshness_threshold             250s
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_interval           0
        notification_options            d,u,r
        check_interval                  4
        register                        0
}

Host B defines its hosts using this template:

define host {
        name                            remote-host-template
        active_checks_enabled           0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              4
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_interval           5
        notification_options            d,r
        failure_prediction_enabled      1
        check_command                   service_is_stale
        register                        0
}

Thanks for any help!

Mike

That's how passive host checks work --

Thanks Marc, I found this answer from Ethan Galstad in the thread you posted:

I think the solution for me is to change the check-host-alive command
to send more pings, that way one dropped packet on a remotely
monitored box won't cause me to get woken up at some ungodly hour.

The command_line I had for check-host-alive (not sure where I got it) 
seems somewhat silly to me:

Original:
$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

My Change:
$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 1000.0,40% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5

Hi,

What I did is to send the passive host check through NSCA only if its in
hard state, soft states are ignored, what script do you use to call
send_nsca ?

Marco.

Subject: Authentication using client certificates
Message-ID: <OF6447A67C.D4BDF7A2-ONC12572C7.004EFE1B-422572C7.0050108C@offis.uni-oldenburg.de>

Hello,

I would like to use a client certificate to authenticate with Nagios 2.9. 
With the mod_ssl option +FakeBasicAuth I can make my distinguished name 
(/C=DE/O=GridGermany/OU=OFFIS e.V./OU=Grid-RA/CN=Jan Ploski) appear in the 
"Logged in as" line in the user interface. The problem is that I 
apparently cannot use this distinguished name as contact_name in the 
configuration file. Nagios complains:

Error: The name of contact '"/C=DE/O=GridGermany/OU=OFFIS 
e.V./OU=Grid-RA/CN=Jan Ploski"' contains one or more illegal characters.

The documentation only mentions that contact_name is supposed to be a 
"short name used to identify the contact".

Given that the direct approach described above doesn't work, is there 
another way to do it?

Best regards -
Jan Ploski

To answer my own question: I just needed to find and edit the 
configuration variable "illegal_object_name_chars" in nagios.cfg.

What i wanted to know how to do was assign a name to EACH node of the 
cluster in the notification email.
The host that is using the service is not associated with the cluster i 
need to monitor at least that's what it says i should do in the 
instructions.
So knowing the name of the host is useless since it has nothing to do 
with the cluster.

So what i need to be able to do is assign some sort of name to each node 
on the cluster and have it spit back that name in a notification email 
if possible.
I also don't want to use the actual hostname of the host for it to check 
in the cluster because if the dns server goes down for some reason all 
of these clusters will be unable to resolve.

any ideas anybody? I mean obviously having the ip is useful too but 
hostnames are much easier to identify

I hope this is the right place to ask this, I want to generate the

I see that Holger Weiss provide the script and the configuration to do
so. The PDF is in letter format and I would like to generate it in

Is it possible to provide the generation tools ?

I used html2ps(1) with the following configuration file and expect(1)
wrapper:

	ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/users/weiss/nagios/doc/src/

The wrapper is only useful if you retrieve the HTML input via HTTP (as
opposed to using a local copy of the docs), as in this case, html2ps(1)
will prompt you for _each_ remote document after the first fifty HTML
pages have been downloaded.  There's no "I know what I'm doing" flag.

Note that Ethan has changed a few more configuration settings for the
official docs, not only the paper size.

I was having the same issue when I first installed NEXSM. I  
contancted the author about it, and he suggested the configure apache  
to not require authentication approach, since there is nothing in the  
jar directory that needs protection. That is done with an apache  
configuration statement like the following, just in case someone  
needs it:

<Location /nexsm/jar/>
                 Satisfy Any
                 Allow from all
</Location>

that does, of course, assume that your jar files are located at / 
nexsm/jar on your server :)

I managed to figure it out using the documentation at <http:// 
java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/jarsigner.html> and  
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html>  
but if you have more of a "how-to" available, that would probably  
make things much easier. Either way, signing the files fixed the  
installation for me (although I do still have to click a "Trust"  
dialog every time I log in)

I used html2ps(1) with the following configuration file and expect(1)
wrapper:

    ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/users/weiss/nagios/doc/src/

The wrapper is only useful if you retrieve the HTML input via HTTP (as
opposed to using a local copy of the docs), as in this case, html2ps(1)
will prompt you for _each_ remote document after the first fifty HTML
pages have been downloaded.  There's no "I know what I'm doing" flag.

Note that Ethan has changed a few more configuration settings for the
official docs, not only the paper size.

I don't know if it's any easier than the references you just
mentioned, but the guide I used is here:

Ok i have a new problem

I'm trying to run check_cluster as a service associated with the nagios 
server
When i run the check_cluster command separately from nagios it's seems 
fine and i get a
CLUSTER OK: DNS: 3 up, 0 down, 0 unreachable

When i run it with nagios i get
CLUSTER OK: DNS: 0 up, 0 down, 0 unreachable

i checked the syslog and it says the service timed out

It is checking 3 servers

Here is my check command:
$USER1$/check_cluster --host -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -d $ARG4$

Here is my Service Definition:
check_cluster_host!"DNS"!1!2!$HOSTSTATEID:host1$,$HOSTSTATEID:host2$,$HOSTSTATEID:host3$

Syslog entry:
"Check Cluster - DNS" "CLUSTER OK: DNS: 0 up, 0 down, 0 unreachable" 
"OK" ""' for service 'Check Cluster - DNS' on host 'nagios' timed out 
after 5 seconds

any ideas what's going on?

It seems that the RPM's you installed have an undisclosed dependency on
a file that's not installed on your machine. I believe that
/usr/lib/libltdl.so.3 is part of the libtool-libs package. It is under
CentOS 3 at least.

# rpm -q --whatprovides libltdl.so.3
libtool-libs-1.4.3-6

that i am having.

[root at localhost nagios]# nagios -v nagios.cfg

Reading configuration data...

Error: Cannot open config file '/etc/nagios/dependencies.cfg' for reading:
No such file or directory

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.



Thanks,
Jim

Your nagios.cfg specifies a cfg_file of /etc/nagios/dependencies.cfg.
That file either doesn't exist or isn't readable by the nagios user. If
you haven't done anything to change the default config created by your
RPM provider, it would appear that his default config is borked
(surprising coming from Dag). If dependencies.cfg does not exist,
comment out the line referencing it in nagios.cfg. If it does exist,
make sure it is readable by the nagios user.

I think this is the time at which Ethan gets the hardcover manual and 
throws it at you.

I suggest you read the manual cover to cover in a fast way at least once 
and dig into the issues that are not clear. Then read the nagios config 
file and make sure you understand it.

I recommend you set the samples aside and build the config from scratch so 
you know what you did put in there.

Combining the included samples and the knowledge from the manual should 
get going in the long run while understanding what you did build. Getting 
quick fixes means you start running back for help at each tiny bump in the 
road.

There is no substitute for experience.

Hugo.

Thanks for all your help. I played around with the config file a little bit
more and was able to get things to start.

Thank you so much both of you for all your help. I just printed out the
manual and plan on reading it tonight.

Thanks again,
Jim

Subject: check+AF8-snmp+AF8-win.pl error
Message-ID: <D34E2E139C3B86498D9FAB0F86FAB6590601727D@dovmsx00.dover.internal>

When I run in terminal I get this error?.

            

 

Can?t locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/ ???.yadda yadda yadda

 

I checked those locations and the Net/SNMP.pm is there. Can I install another similar package to get this to work properly, because I tried to copy the scripts from Net::SNMP again, and it still did not work.

 

 

Anyone else have similar problems?

Subject: Using nagios for machine-to-machine reporting?
Message-ID: <26face530704241948j6efef4aayf8e1bbd030a5c96e@mail.gmail.com>

Nagios does a great job of monitoring/reporting to humans (or
sysadmins, the nearest equivalent <G>), but can it also be used for
machine-to-machine reporting?

Example: machine X at my company wants to start a process that
involves machines Y and Z. However, if either machine is down, X's
proces should die quietly (no point in reporting Y or Z is down, since
a sysadmin has presumably already been notified).

Can machine X contact my nagios server for a machine-readable status
of machines Y and Z?

I realize I could wget/curl/lynx-source the page:

http://nagios.mycompany.com/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=hostname

and parse the output, but that seems ugly. Is there a
"machine-readable" option for the page above that just prints "up",
"down", "unknown", "parent down" or a number or something
easy-to-parse like that?

Subject: Using nagios for reporting on non-machine data such
	as employees?
Message-ID: <26face530704241959l4428bbf8u80837a158c6d1aac@mail.gmail.com>

We have various systems that keep track of employee data: when an
employee was last paid, hours of sick/vacation leave accrued,
employee's laptop's last IP address (from DHCP server), last time
employee's laptop was backed up (from backup server), whether employee
is on-lave/traveling, whether the employee has been receiving email
(vs employee's mailbox being full, account not setup properly, etc),
etc.

I realized we could use nagios' "passive service checks" to have the
various systems upload employee data to our nagios server, but was
wondering if this was fitting a round peg into a square hole.

Is nagios a good tool for monitoring things that aren't machines? If
not, what would be a good tool?

One concern: nagios tends to treat data as almost "binary"-- either
something is good (green) or bad (red) [yes, yellow + "unknown" also
exist, but it's still almost binary]. In some cases, we're just
looking to create an "employee status report" page that has text data
on the employee (pushed from various servers), without necessarily
categorizing the data as "good" or "bad".

Kelly,
I admire your determination to use nagios in many versatile ways. 
Unfortunately, nagios is probably not the best fit in this case.  This 
is especially true if you really intend to use passive checks instead of 
leveraging nagios' powerful scheduling or notification features.  Plus, 
adding a new employee could be a potential nightmare if many systems are 
involved. The effort spent in getting nagios services set up and 
reto-fitted the way you need would be much better spent on a more 
conventional solution. Your situation is fairly unique, so I am unable 
to think of any ready-to-go solutions.  In the long run it's probably 
easiest to periodically upload all this data to a database and put some 
php scripts together so you can view reports on that data over a web 
interface.

Hello

It can be done in various ways. but sounds like you need to use event
handlers.
event handlers allows you to run a trigger in case state of host / service
changed. in your case if service you are monitoring goes critical you need
to write a script ( you can also trigger nrpe command on another machine)
that shuts down the other machine service. and of course the sys admin gets
notified.

Subject: Master and slave servers for Nagios
Message-ID: <F93ED76B6830FB4CB81262937940F726013B028D@exchange11.fed.cclrc.ac.uk>

As I have reported in the past I have 2 slave servers and a master
server; all checks should be run from the slave servers and passed back
to the master server.  I have been recently trying the understand why
the master server still has kernel "Out of memory" problems such that
the kernel starts killing active processes and, in some cases, panics
because there are no more processes to kill (this happens perhaps once
or twice per week usually around 4:50 - 5:10 in the morning).  As part
of my investigations I have noticed that for a typical host 40% of tests
are reported from the slave and 60% are run by the master.  I can tell
this because 40% of messages for this typical host in /var/log/nagios on
the master server begin "EXTERNAL_COMMAND" and 60% of messages begin
"Warning:".   My question is why this should be ?  Here is a copy of
nagios.log from the master server for one test of one host for today (so
far):

The nagios.log file on the slave server only contains the "CURRENT
SERVICE STATE:" entries for this server and test combination.  Why would
this be ?  Is it because the slave server is configured to
"obsess_over_services" ?  There are a few entries in the nagios.log file
for this host, but they refer only to Warnings (there were no critical
problems on this host).

I have compared the retention data file entries for this service and
they are not significantly different.  I have also run nagios -s
/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg on the master and the slave servers; the output
on both systems says "I have no suggestions - thinks look okay".  So has
the list any suggestions ?

Hi,

You can use "exec" directive to have Nagios Plugins to be executed by
Net-SNMP and retrieve output and return code by walking extTable[1]
(extOutput and extResult, respectively).

Hi,

is it possible to monitor dell servers without openmanage installed? (snmp?)
We have netware servers running and openmanage isn't working with this 
version of netware.

Thanks!

SNMP Agents should be installable in all OS versions. I don't know about 
netware, but there should be no problem. Get the Dell MIBs and search what 
you want to check.

On Linux it is possible.

We have Dell servers (PE650,PE750,PE850,PE2650,PE2750 & PE2850) running 
linux but not openmanage.

We installed the package "percsnmp" which provides /usr/sbin/percmain and 
added the following line to the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file

pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582 /usr/sbin/percmain

Hope this helps,

Cyrille

I guess that nothing except a software from Dell or LSI would do the 
trick.

Maybe you will found what you need here

Sounds like this has to do more with the freshness of the passive 
check.  If the master server thinks the check isn't fresh, it will then 
run an active check to see for itself.  I'd tune in the freshness, and 
keep in mind the scheduling of the checks.  If you configure your 
freshness to expire at five minutes, and the slave server schedules that 
check for once every six minutes, you are going to get behavior like you 
mentioned.

Nicole,

I use a command called nwstat that will give you info from novell. 
SNMP is enabled in netware.

Hi,

is it possible to monitor dell servers without openmanage installed?
(snmp?)
We have netware servers running and openmanage isn't working with this

version of netware.

Thanks!

Nicole

Just a simple script that pipes "$HOST\t$RESULT\t$OUTPUT\n" into
send_nsca.  I'll need to also pass in $HOSTSTATETYPE$ and exit
if I don't see a HARD state. 

Thanks for the advice, this is a lot nicer way of dealing with
this problem.

Plugin is not in the location you have told Nagios it is, Nagios user does
not have permissions to execute the plugin.

Just a few to get you started.

Thanks for your reply.  However the tests are scheduled to run every 30
minutes on both master and slave servers (confirmed by checking in
retention.dat file).  If you look in the original message you will see
that the master server is correctly running the command by freshness
checking ("Warning" messages) every 30 minutes, but the slave results
are at longer intervals ("EXTERNAL" messages) though roughly at some
number of 30 minute intervals.
What are the possibilities for results from command issued by the slave
getting lost ?  Why are OK results not recorded in the slave server logs
?

Whatever plugin it is didn't print any output the way that you're
calling it. Either that or it's a magnetic anomaly caused by the
rotation of the cesium atoms in the plugin output ;). 

Seriously, try running the plugin from the command line as the nagios
user exactly as you have it defined in your configuration. Purely
guessing, it's probably sending output to STDERR.

In the future, please provide more specific information about your
configuration, the plugin in question and how you're using it. The more
helpful you are in providing information about your problem, the more
helpful we can be in providing a useful answer.

Usually because the plugin has returned nothing on STDOUT.  So has the
plugin worked before ?  Does it work if run by hand on the system being
tested for user name nagios ?  Is the test failing in an unusual way ?

Dunno. I've never used the plugin before and it's not included with the
standard plugins. I've googled for you though and found
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_windows.html which looks like very good
documentation. Presuming that is the exact same plugin you are using,
the -T parameter must be the exact word 'service'. A quick look at the
code confirms this --

    if ( $o_type ne "service" ) {
      print "Invalid check type !\n"; print_usage(); exit
$ERRORS{"UNKNOWN"} 
    }

Seems kind of silly but that's the way it is.

Message-ID: <7F477BD26F545A4C8E4779754A38EFB301322C01@PEPWMV00043.corp.pep.pvt>


I've never been able to use the status map and now I figured it was
about time I asked why :-)

We monitor mostly services.  Meaning that we don't monitor the network
in terms of routers, etc, so we don't have parent-host relationships.
Mostly just hosts and the variety of services we monitor on those hosts.

At present, I show around 350 hosts and around 1800 services.  So I'm
not wildly surprised if I open up the initial status map page and get
what looks mostly like a sun -- a big circular blob with virtually
nothing that's discernable on it.

So I figured I need to trim the list down.  If I tell the status map to
"include" only a hostgroup with one member in it for instance, I still
see a big massive blob with Nagios in the center (just less green, I
guess).  This is the Circular map type.

If I switch to another map type I seem to never to get away from the
picture with nagios in the center with tons of "empty" spokes.

I suspect I could make more use of the user-defined coordinates, but
with 350 hosts and 1800 services, that doesn't seem very practical.

We monitor "tiers" of an application so there are relationships between
the various services we monitor.  It would be cool to have parent
relationships between services (not really dependencies) and have that
show on the status map, but I don't think that's possible.

So am I using the status map incorrectly somehow?  I've just never found
it to be of any possible use to us.

Thanks


Mark

You could use nagiosmap which will give you the ability to drag the
hosts around the screen to set the coordinates.  Have a look on
http://nagiosexchange.org .  Without this, 350 hosts is stretching the
abilities of the standard status map somewhat, imo.  Admittedly I've
never tried nagiosmap myself because ...

An alternative status map visualisation tool which is much better
suited to hundreds of hosts is nexsm.
http://nexsm.gridshield.net/Overview.html  It can be a little tricky
to set up so be prepared to look through the forum discussion on
sourceforge and the email archive here to see what some of the common
issues are.

Either way, you really will benefit from setting the parent
relationships, not only for visualisation but for helping Nagios to
send you only appropriate alerts too.

hth,

Jim

I think this is the time at which Ethan gets the hardcover manual and 
throws it at you.

I suggest you read the manual cover to cover in a fast way at least once

and dig into the issues that are not clear. Then read the nagios config 
file and make sure you understand it.

I recommend you set the samples aside and build the config from scratch
so 
you know what you did put in there.

Combining the included samples and the knowledge from the manual should 
get going in the long run while understanding what you did build.
Getting 
quick fixes means you start running back for help at each tiny bump in
the 
road.

There is no substitute for experience.

Thanks for all your help. I played around with the config file a little
bit
more and was able to get things to start.

Thank you so much both of you for all your help. I just printed out the
manual and plan on reading it tonight.

Thanks again,
Jim

I checked those locations and the Net?SNMP.pm is there. Can I install

Anyone else have similar problems?

Nagios does a great job of monitoring/reporting to humans (or
sysadmins, the nearest equivalent <G>), but can it also be used for
machine-to-machine reporting?

Example: machine X at my company wants to start a process that
involves machines Y and Z. However, if either machine is down, X's
proces should die quietly (no point in reporting Y or Z is down, since
a sysadmin has presumably already been notified).

Can machine X contact my nagios server for a machine-readable status
of machines Y and Z?

I realize I could wget/curl/lynx-source the page:

http://nagios.mycompany.com/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=hostn
ame

and parse the output, but that seems ugly. Is there a
"machine-readable" option for the page above that just prints "up",
"down", "unknown", "parent down" or a number or something
easy-to-parse like that?

We have various systems that keep track of employee data: when an
employee was last paid, hours of sick/vacation leave accrued,
employee's laptop's last IP address (from DHCP server), last time
employee's laptop was backed up (from backup server), whether employee
is on-lave/traveling, whether the employee has been receiving email
(vs employee's mailbox being full, account not setup properly, etc),
etc.

I realized we could use nagios' "passive service checks" to have the
various systems upload employee data to our nagios server, but was
wondering if this was fitting a round peg into a square hole.

Is nagios a good tool for monitoring things that aren't machines? If
not, what would be a good tool?

One concern: nagios tends to treat data as almost "binary"-- either
something is good (green) or bad (red) [yes, yellow + "unknown" also
exist, but it's still almost binary]. In some cases, we're just
looking to create an "employee status report" page that has text data
on the employee (pushed from various servers), without necessarily
categorizing the data as "good" or "bad".

Kelly,
I admire your determination to use nagios in many versatile ways. 
Unfortunately, nagios is probably not the best fit in this case.  This 
is especially true if you really intend to use passive checks instead of

leveraging nagios' powerful scheduling or notification features.  Plus, 
adding a new employee could be a potential nightmare if many systems are

involved. The effort spent in getting nagios services set up and 
reto-fitted the way you need would be much better spent on a more 
conventional solution. Your situation is fairly unique, so I am unable 
to think of any ready-to-go solutions.  In the long run it's probably 
easiest to periodically upload all this data to a database and put some 
php scripts together so you can view reports on that data over a web 
interface.

Hello

It can be done in various ways. but sounds like you need to use event
handlers.
event handlers allows you to run a trigger in case state of host /
service
changed. in your case if service you are monitoring goes critical you
need
to write a script ( you can also trigger nrpe command on another
machine)
that shuts down the other machine service. and of course the sys admin
gets
notified.

As I have reported in the past I have 2 slave servers and a master
server; all checks should be run from the slave servers and passed back
to the master server.  I have been recently trying the understand why
the master server still has kernel "Out of memory" problems such that
the kernel starts killing active processes and, in some cases, panics
because there are no more processes to kill (this happens perhaps once
or twice per week usually around 4:50 - 5:10 in the morning).  As part
of my investigations I have noticed that for a typical host 40% of tests
are reported from the slave and 60% are run by the master.  I can tell
this because 40% of messages for this typical host in /var/log/nagios on
the master server begin "EXTERNAL_COMMAND" and 60% of messages begin
"Warning:".   My question is why this should be ?  Here is a copy of
nagios.log from the master server for one test of one host for today (so
far):

The nagios.log file on the slave server only contains the "CURRENT
SERVICE STATE:" entries for this server and test combination.  Why would
this be ?  Is it because the slave server is configured to
"obsess_over_services" ?  There are a few entries in the nagios.log file
for this host, but they refer only to Warnings (there were no critical
problems on this host).

I have compared the retention data file entries for this service and
they are not significantly different.  I have also run nagios -s
/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg on the master and the slave servers; the output
on both systems says "I have no suggestions - thinks look okay".  So has
the list any suggestions ?

Hi,

You can use "exec" directive to have Nagios Plugins to be executed by
Net-SNMP and retrieve output and return code by walking extTable[1]
(extOutput and extResult, respectively).

Hi,

is it possible to monitor dell servers without openmanage installed?
(snmp?)
We have netware servers running and openmanage isn't working with this 
version of netware.

Thanks!

SNMP Agents should be installable in all OS versions. I don't know about

netware, but there should be no problem. Get the Dell MIBs and search
what 
you want to check.

On Linux it is possible.

We have Dell servers (PE650,PE750,PE850,PE2650,PE2750 & PE2850) running 
linux but not openmanage.

We installed the package "percsnmp" which provides /usr/sbin/percmain
and 
added the following line to the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file

pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582 /usr/sbin/percmain

Hope this helps,

Cyrille

I guess that nothing except a software from Dell or LSI would do the 
trick.

Sounds like this has to do more with the freshness of the passive 
check.  If the master server thinks the check isn't fresh, it will then 
run an active check to see for itself.  I'd tune in the freshness, and 
keep in mind the scheduling of the checks.  If you configure your 
freshness to expire at five minutes, and the slave server schedules that

check for once every six minutes, you are going to get behavior like you

mentioned.

Nicole,

I use a command called nwstat that will give you info from novell. 
SNMP is enabled in netware.

Hi,

is it possible to monitor dell servers without openmanage installed?
(snmp?)
We have netware servers running and openmanage isn't working with this

version of netware.

Thanks!

Just a simple script that pipes "$HOST\t$RESULT\t$OUTPUT\n" into
send_nsca.  I'll need to also pass in $HOSTSTATETYPE$ and exit
if I don't see a HARD state. 

Thanks for the advice, this is a lot nicer way of dealing with
this problem.

Thanks for your reply.  However the tests are scheduled to run every 30
minutes on both master and slave servers (confirmed by checking in
retention.dat file).  If you look in the original message you will see
that the master server is correctly running the command by freshness
checking ("Warning" messages) every 30 minutes, but the slave results
are at longer intervals ("EXTERNAL" messages) though roughly at some
number of 30 minute intervals.
What are the possibilities for results from command issued by the slave
getting lost ?  Why are OK results not recorded in the slave server logs
?

Whatever plugin it is didn't print any output the way that you're
calling it. Either that or it's a magnetic anomaly caused by the
rotation of the cesium atoms in the plugin output ;). 

Seriously, try running the plugin from the command line as the nagios
user exactly as you have it defined in your configuration. Purely
guessing, it's probably sending output to STDERR.

In the future, please provide more specific information about your
configuration, the plugin in question and how you're using it. The more
helpful you are in providing information about your problem, the more
helpful we can be in providing a useful answer.

Thanks, Jim.

I tried out Nexsm last night and found that it gave me a huge, unordered
picture of all my hosts.  It was as close to random as I can imagine.  I
realize I can create custom views if I wanted to dedicate the time to
that.

Perhaps I don't fully understand the parent relationship stuff.  That's
most for routers and switches which we don't monitor (nor really care
about) -- that's for other teams that are completely disassociated with
ours.  My understanding is that you setup parent relationships between
host entitities (including switches and routers) and for what we
monitor, there are none.

I'll have a look at nagiosmap.

Thanks

Mark

You could use nagiosmap which will give you the ability to drag the
hosts around the screen to set the coordinates.  Have a look on
http://nagiosexchange.org .  Without this, 350 hosts is stretching the
abilities of the standard status map somewhat, imo.  Admittedly I've
never tried nagiosmap myself because ...

An alternative status map visualisation tool which is much better
suited to hundreds of hosts is nexsm.
http://nexsm.gridshield.net/Overview.html  It can be a little tricky
to set up so be prepared to look through the forum discussion on
sourceforge and the email archive here to see what some of the common
issues are.

Either way, you really will benefit from setting the parent
relationships, not only for visualisation but for helping Nagios to
send you only appropriate alerts too.

hth,

Jim

You need the parent relationships for Nexsm to work, and with that
many hosts you may need to spend a little while dragging hosts around
to make the map look meaningful.  Once you've dragged the hosts to
where you want them you should be able to save the Nexsm map.  Without
those parent relationships defined it's pretty pointless!

Even if they're not your responsibility it's worth putting routers in
to your Nagios configuration.  You don't need to do anything more with
them than ping them to make sure they're alive.  It helps in making
sense of your map and greatly helps in ensuring that Nagios won't send
you dozens of alerts when a single router or lan/wan link goes down.

Put the routers in and there will be.  The parent relationships are
all about what nodes are in-between your Nagios system and the host
you are monitoring.  I don't have responsibility for routers - I still
ping them from Nagios but have Nagios configured so that it won't
alert for routers 'down' - only hosts.

> I'll have a look at nagiosmap.

By all means do, but again if you don't have some parent relationships
defined, your 350 hosts will all appear to be connected to the one
parent like the petals of a daisy.

Cheers,

Jim

Message-ID: <ca9c8f960704251052q2ea39f5ej42eec4102ed4053d@mail.gmail.com>

Version details:

OS: fedora6
nagios version: 2.9
nagios plugin: 1.4.8

Following the quickstart guide and when I get to the part where you:

make install-webconf

and it came back with the error:

*** No rule to make target `install-webconf

I checked the online forums and someone suggested copying the http.conf, so
I did this:

cp sample-config/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf

The file copied successfully, yet when I try the make install command it
still gives the same error.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong in relation to getting it to work?
Thanks

Hello

you need VRML client such as cortona vrml (
http://www.parallelgraphics.com/products/cortona/ )
the setup of this map is just like setting 2d map but you have another Z
coordination to enter.

My apologies for making this a new thread and not a response.  I hit 
delete and reacted to the fact that I could answer this question one 
second too late :/.

This is in response to "Patrick Grote"'s e-mail ( context at gmane: 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/46518 ).

You're mixing up Nagios 3a and Nagios 2.

If you're installing Nagios 2, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU'RE READING THE 
DOCUMENTS FOR 2!!!!
make install-webconf is a Nagios 3 only feature, and if you keep reading 
the docs for 3, some things will mysteriously not work, and you will be 
annoyed.

The 2.x installation guide is located at 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/
Again, ensure you're using them and not the 3.0 docs...

Only seems in fact ;-) : you can omit "-T" option as $o_type="service" by
default (it's only for future use).

And thanks to you for reminding users I spent time writing some doc so they

Yes, several, including check_snmp, among others.

A couple other tips: please don't reply to digests, especially without
changing the subject line. And please, please don't quote the whole
thing.

Subject: nagios service check latency
Message-ID: <462FDD2F.9030506@nttmcl.com>

Ok i have a question about setting priority to service checks

since i have a handful of service check checking clusters of servers i'd 
like the priority of those service checks as high as for instance... 
host checks

as in they happen regularly and almost instantly without latency

Now my service checks used to be REALLY high latency but i removed 
unnecessary active checks on certain services. However my service checks 
for my clusters are still latent by about 5 minutes. Is there anyway to 
reduce this or just say that a certain service check should have zero 
latency?

Thanks

I apologise for jumping in without reading the other responses but there
are
at _least two_ ways you can proceed

1 ad-hoc means of parsing the CGIs

Look at NagiosExchange under reporting or
addon misc. There is a Perl module that someone I know wrote that does
this).

(There is also the built-in bog standard nagstats but this only gives
the summary. You could also fetch
status.dat by ssh and parse it. Not very difficult.)

2 Use a Database populated by NDOUtils (the standard Nag way of adding
DB support)

This in my view is the way to go.

NDOUTils for nothing populates tables with

2.1 configuration data

2.2 outage data

You can select from ... where ... to your hearts content.

If you didn't want to bite the 2.x/3.x/NDOUtils snack, you could have a
global
host event handler that adds records to an outage table.

Latency is the amount of time it takes a check to run. If there were a
way to tell Nagios a check shouldn't have any latency, it wouldn't do
any good.  Nagios spawns the check, and that check runs as quickly as it
can after that. That amount of time isn't something you can change with
a configuration setting; it depends on what the check is (for example,
if it needs to load libraries or do other startup tasks that require
system resources), and the available resources on the machine doing the
checking.

There are some very good tuning tips in the docs here:

IMO, the no. 1 easy thing you can do to reduce latency if you haven't
done so already is to replace your check_ping checks with check_icmp
or check_fping .  You want to make sure that any checks you have take
as little time to run as possible.

Jim

hello,

We got a mesh network (every node connected to each other). But how can I use this in the status map?
I don't think its a parrent/child relation because a node will still be up if a parrent fails (because there are other parrents).

Can somebody explain me this and how to set it up for the status map?

Hi It?s a bug in nagios-plugin 1.4.8

Fix with vi the config.h in the nagios-plugin.1.4.8/
Search for #define PING_COMMAND and 
Change it to 
#define PING_COMMAND "/bin/ping -t %u -c %u %s" 

Works fine

Well, I wrote something like this some years ago, mainly to check fans 
and temperature.
I posted it to the mailing-list and I uploaded the plugins to sourceforge.
That was in January 2005. They are in the contrib directory in the 
nagiosplugins source distribution.
You should get hold of an InsightManager CD and copy the MIBs to the 
directory where your SNMP-client stores MIBs.
Then you can use a SNMP-browser (like mbrowse on Unix-systems) to access 
the MIBs and get an idea of what you should be looking at.

Please note that these plugins are very crude - there's probably a more 
elegant way to access all these MIBs and automate some of the hardcoded 
stuff in there...


cheers,
Rainer

That is a really high latency and seems to imply either that you're
starving nagios for resources or you're doing lots of host checks. How
many hosts/services are you checking on what kind of hardware? Have you
looked at the performance tuning documentation? For a benchmark, I have
machines doing just over a thousand service checks every 5 minutes
(mostly check_fping) with a max latency of under 5 seconds and average
latency of 0.638 seconds at the moment.

There's no way to tell nagios that certain service checks have a higher
priority over others outside of
normal_check_interval/retry_check_interval. The scheduler just
automagically figures out what to do based on your config.

Actually, that's check execution time. Check latency is the time between
the scheduled time a check is supposed to run and when nagios is
actually able to run it.

Nagios 3.0a2

Plugins 1.4.8

 

We just set up monitoring on our HP printers, just one to start and
test, and the service is timing out. The printer responds to a normal
ping, but not the Nagios ping. Community name and hostname are set
correctly. Will setting the snmp version work on the command with the -v
swich in command_line of the command definition file?

Hi all.

 

I have compiled (and using) nrpe 1.9 on my Hp-Ux 11.0, but now I need to
istall nrpe 2.7 too.

 

No problem on a linux system, but on the Hp-Ux I received following error
message at the end of command ?configure?:

Different HP printers use different versions of snmp.
snmp uses version 3 by default. Try snmpwalk against
the printer and figure out the snmp version it uses,
then update your command definition accordingly.

Good Luck

I guess you'll have to treat them all as independent hosts, all at the 
same level.

Might be a stretch here but why not use a hostdependency group and only
alert when x amount off servers don't respond?

Description:

Host dependencies are an advanced feature of Nagios that allow you to
suppress notifications for hosts based on the status of one or more
other hosts. Host dependencies are optional and are mainly targeted at
advanced users who have complicated monitoring setups. More information
on how host dependencies work (read this!) can be found here. 

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#hostdependency

I might be barking up the wrong dog here, but I think that would do it
for you.

OK, so this is starting to make some sense to me.  The reason my status
map looks like crap is because every host and service I own has the
nagios server as its parent.

So now I'm trying to use traceroute to determine the network topology
which leads me to my next question.  I've seen the nagios docs that talk
about determining host reachability.  It shows distinct routers and
switches with (presumably) a single IP.  How do people represent
routers/switches that have different IPs depending on the network their
on?  I mean, yes, it is technically one physical piece of hardware, but
it's separate interfaces.  So for example

-------------------
|  Nagios Server  |
-------------------
         | 1.2.3.4
         |
 1.2.3.1 |
-----------------
|    Router     |
-----------------
 4.5.6.1 |
         |
         | 4.5.6.7
-----------------
|    Host A     |
-----------------


Technically, 1.2.3.1 and 4.5.6.1 both are IPs for the same router.  In
theory, pinging 1.2.3.1 indicates that the box is up.  However, it
doesn't guarantee that the interface to Host A's network is up.

As I see it you could either ignore one or the other of the interfaces
"on the way" to Host A, or you could pretend that each IP on the switch
is a separate host.  So Host A has a parent of 4.5.6.1 which has a
parent of 1.2.3.1.  I would imagine that this method (multiple host
definitions for a single router box) is the best way.

How do most people handle this kind of thing?

thanks

Mark

You need the parent relationships for Nexsm to work, and with that
many hosts you may need to spend a little while dragging hosts around
to make the map look meaningful.  Once you've dragged the hosts to
where you want them you should be able to save the Nexsm map.  Without
those parent relationships defined it's pretty pointless!

Even if they're not your responsibility it's worth putting routers in
to your Nagios configuration.  You don't need to do anything more with
them than ping them to make sure they're alive.  It helps in making
sense of your map and greatly helps in ensuring that Nagios won't send
you dozens of alerts when a single router or lan/wan link goes down.

Put the routers in and there will be.  The parent relationships are
all about what nodes are in-between your Nagios system and the host
you are monitoring.  I don't have responsibility for routers - I still
ping them from Nagios but have Nagios configured so that it won't
alert for routers 'down' - only hosts.

> I'll have a look at nagiosmap.

By all means do, but again if you don't have some parent relationships
defined, your 350 hosts will all appear to be connected to the one
parent like the petals of a daisy.

Jim

Parent/child relationships are important, and not just to make your
statusmap look pretty. Also keep in mind that once the parent/child
relationships are added to Nagios, your statusmap may not look the way
you expect it to (if p/c relationships are done correctly). The
statusmap represents the network from Nagios' point of view, not as you
might draw it in Visio or some other application.

I try to never use physical interface IPs to refer to devices. This is
what loopback addresses are for. In the case of a switch, it's the
Management VLAN IP. If you can't use a loopback for some reason, you'll
probably want to use the IP closest to Nagios. That way, if the
'outside' interface on a device goes critical, Nagios won't necessarily
report the device as down.

Many things could cause it including the ones you mention. Could also be
links approaching capacity, high cpu usage on a router or others. I'd
start by running mtr from your nagios machine to one of the machines
experiencing the problem and examine the devices that showed high round
trip times for anomalies.

I made the changes that you suggested.  Still no success.  I was able to
create the rrd's after manaully running the insert.pl as the nagios
user.  Then, I had to revert back to my original serviceextinfo.cfg to
see the graphs.  Now I need to determine how to have this run
automagically.

I have followed all of the instructions from Wolfgang, the INSTALL file
from nagiosgraph-0.8.2 and any readme that I can find.  The
nagiosgraph.log is empty and the directory that I specify for the
"rrddir" is empty.  If I run the /usr/share/rrdtool/examples/perftest.pl
it generates a database.  Here is what I have:

 

Nagios.cfg

above in the nagios.cfg (i.e.

stylesheet = /usr/share/nagios/stylesheets/nagiosgraph.css

 

insert.pl

my $configfile = '/etc/nagios/nagiosgraph-0.8.2/nagiosgraph.conf';

 

Below shows that the nagiosgraph.log and rrddir is empty

Make those few changes, stop and restart nagios and take a look at the
perfdata file you defined above to see if data is getting dumped there
and check the nagiosgraph.log

OK, so it'll run as the user, but it's not creating rrd files by itself? 
Sounds like nothing is getting through to the map file to attempt 
translation on, but I could be misunderstanding.

Does your PING service (it's a good example to work with) have the 
performance data on? (process_perf_data 1) 

Set nagiosgraph.conf debug=5, and tail the log file - you should see stuff 
going on all the time if its working. Also tail your perfdata.dat file 
(nagios/var) in another console, you should see data dropping in to there 
then the file being truncated - give it a while if you don't have many 
hosts defined, or the check doesn't run often.

When stuff drops into perfdata.dat, you should see an attempt to process 
it nagiosgraph.log - if you get an error like it can't recognise the data, 
you need to check your map file:

# Service type: ping
#   output:PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms
/output:PING.*?(\d+)%.+?([.\d]+)\sms/
and push @s, [ ping,
               [ losspct, GAUGE, $1      ],
               [ rta,     GAUGE, $2/1000 ] ];

.. is mine, think thats an out of the box setting though, so it should be 
OK.

If nothing appears in perfdata.dat, no performance data is being processed 
by Nagios - back to the overall config (looks OK to me) and the service 
config.

REMEMBER TO SET DEBUG BACK TO 1, IT GROWS BIG QUICK!! (Sorry for Caps, 
it's because I forgot to once.:-o..)

OK, so it'll run as the user, but it's not creating rrd files by itself?

Sounds like nothing is getting through to the map file to attempt 
translation on, but I could be misunderstanding.

Does your PING service (it's a good example to work with) have the 
performance data on? (process_perf_data 1) 

Set nagiosgraph.conf debug=5, and tail the log file - you should see
stuff 
going on all the time if its working. Also tail your perfdata.dat file 
(nagios/var) in another console, you should see data dropping in to
there 
then the file being truncated - give it a while if you don't have many 
hosts defined, or the check doesn't run often.

When stuff drops into perfdata.dat, you should see an attempt to process

it nagiosgraph.log - if you get an error like it can't recognise the
data, 
you need to check your map file:

# Service type: ping
#   output:PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms
/output:PING.*?(\d+)%.+?([.\d]+)\sms/
and push @s, [ ping,
               [ losspct, GAUGE, $1      ],
               [ rta,     GAUGE, $2/1000 ] ];

.. is mine, think thats an out of the box setting though, so it should
be 
OK.

If nothing appears in perfdata.dat, no performance data is being
processed 
by Nagios - back to the overall config (looks OK to me) and the service 
config.

REMEMBER TO SET DEBUG BACK TO 1, IT GROWS BIG QUICK!! (Sorry for Caps, 
it's because I forgot to once.:-o..)

Bad :-(

Perfdata not recognised is usually down to the map file in my experience, 
unless something screwy is being written to the perfdata.dat. I'm assuming 
only the PING service is attampting to write performance data, so it may 
be that another service which you aren't yet concerned with is generating 
the errors - but I see no successful writes here. 

Copy it out, edit the copied file and sub it back in when done (good 
practice for when its working), check and double check your regular 
expression for PING s perfomance data against what you see appearing in 
perfdata.dat

If thats a direct cut'n'paste though, the perf data of | | | | | is odd, 
can't say I've seen that - if that's what PING is sticking out as 
performance data it's strange. Although my perfdata is never empty these 
days, maybe thats normal if nothing is getting there.

Subject: Regarding statusmap
Message-ID: <de3ebc3317144.46309200@gwu.edu>

Hi,

I have one problem regarding the statusmap in nagios. I installed all the libraries required such as gdlib, libpng and linjpeg etc. for the  working of the statusmap, as it was there in the documentation and some of you has also suggested to do that. After all the installation procedure still my statusmaps was not working. Next day when i started my Fedora again, it boots up but went to the black screen. Nothing is going on after that black screen. 

Can anyone tell me the solution for it. How can i get my GUI back from the command prompt, which iam entering by switching to the single user mode at the boot time.

Thanks and Regards

No, perflog is your perfdata.dat file, where the performance data gets 
dumped - bit confusing I think..


# Location of performance data file. Comment out it not used.
perflog = /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata.dat

OK, so it'll run as the user, but it's not creating rrd files by itself?

Sounds like nothing is getting through to the map file to attempt 
translation on, but I could be misunderstanding.

Does your PING service (it's a good example to work with) have the 
performance data on? (process_perf_data 1) 

Set nagiosgraph.conf debug=5, and tail the log file - you should see
stuff 
going on all the time if its working. Also tail your perfdata.dat file 
(nagios/var) in another console, you should see data dropping in to
there 
then the file being truncated - give it a while if you don't have many 
hosts defined, or the check doesn't run often.

When stuff drops into perfdata.dat, you should see an attempt to process

it nagiosgraph.log - if you get an error like it can't recognise the
data, 
you need to check your map file:

# Service type: ping
#   output:PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms
/output:PING.*?(\d+)%.+?([.\d]+)\sms/
and push @s, [ ping,
               [ losspct, GAUGE, $1      ],
               [ rta,     GAUGE, $2/1000 ] ];

.. is mine, think thats an out of the box setting though, so it should
be 
OK.

If nothing appears in perfdata.dat, no performance data is being
processed 
by Nagios - back to the overall config (looks OK to me) and the service 
config.

REMEMBER TO SET DEBUG BACK TO 1, IT GROWS BIG QUICK!! (Sorry for Caps, 
it's because I forgot to once.:-o..)

Hello,

sorry for not coming back soon on the issue. I had a forced time off
nagios... :-(

I solved the problem installing PHP 5.2 as suggested. So thanks for the
reply.

 

I have a question about the configuration:

I use authentication in nagios web interface, and I use authenticated
contacts to give access to only certain hosts/services to users.

 

Example:

 

User johndoe is a contact for server1 and server3

User foobar is a contact for server2

 

In nagios web interface user johndoe can only access services residing on
server1 and server3, while user foobar only sees server2.

I expected this to be true for NLG too, but I found that using
$ServerFeed_AuthEnabled = 1 and indicating the user/password in the config
files, gives user johndoe access to server1, server2, server3.

The same apply for user foobar.

 

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

 

 

 

 

Carlo Piccini

Hi Carlo,

What version of PHP are you running?

Line 327 in the code is a comparison of two classes, using the "instanceof"
operator, which was introduced in PHP 5
(http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.type.php).

It sounds like you have PHP 4, which is not supported by NLG.

Andy.

Hello,

 

just installed NLG 1.0.2, but stuck with a blank page on hitting URL.

In apache error log I have:

 

[client 192.168.1.5] PHP Parse error:  parse error, unexpected T_STRING in

Any advice for me?

Nagios 2.0

 

Thank you,

Are you running Fedora or Ubuntu? I have a this solution on the forums.
You can see it here:

http://www.meulie.net/portal_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?8517

there is also another bit that may help you out :


 3) Post install Configuration of Nagios
Edit apache's httpd.conf file. (the location of the httpd.conf file may
differ)

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following line at the end of the file.

Include /etc/httpd/conf/nagios.conf

Create the file '/etc/httpd/conf/nagios.conf'.

vi /etc/httpd/conf/nagios.conf

Add the following contents to this file.

-------------------------------------------------
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
    <Directory ?/usr/local/nagios/sbin/?>
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Options ExecCGI
        Allow from all
        Order allow,deny
    </Directory>

Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
    <Directory ?/usr/local/nagios/share?>
        Options None
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
--------------------------------------------------


Make sure the updations done with http is fine and restart apache.

#service httpd restart

Subject: 3D status map problem
Message-ID: <4630E4C5.8060106@telcotec.se>

Hi All,

I have a problem with the 3D status map display in Firefox
on SuSE Linux 10.2 that I wonder if anyone can help with.

I've built and installed the FreeWRL package successfully,
and the 3D status map does show up (almost) properly.

However, there's a lot of error messages showing up in the
Console Display saying:

/usr/bin/FreeWRL_Message Could not locate URL for texture
(last choice was /nagios/images/logos/imagepak-andrade/<this-and-that>.png

When picking up the aforementioned address in the browser,
I can see the image, so there's no access problem.

Any ideas?

Thankful for any ideas in this area
/Lars Stavholm

Ok, I admit it, I'm a bonehead.

I migrated from sendmail to postfix. I have several passive checks that
run by way of REL.  I did not anticipate breaking this functionality,
but I have.

In the maillog, I have the following entries:

Command died with status 13: "/usr/local/nagios/bin/smtpreceiver.pl".
Command output: Can't open /var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd for writing:
Permission denied )

The permissions on the pipe are:

prw-rw----  1 nagios nagios 0 Apr 26 12:41 /var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd

If I change from 0660 to 0666, everything works fine. 

I realize this is actually a postfix issue, not nagios, but I thought
someone on the list might have encountered this problem and have a slick
fix close to hand.

Thanks for any assistance.

Drew

Personally, I like installing the packages from the RPMForge/Dag Wieers 
Yum repository.  It's much simpler that way, and I also use CentOS 4.4.

% wget 
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

% rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

% yum install nagios nagios-plugins

:)

We're cooking now ...

I can log in - but get a perms error / warning

It appears as though you do not have permission to view information
for any of the services you requested...

If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.

I'm running about 120 services.
My Nagios seemed pretty speedy before until recently i dunno what 
changes i made to do this but most of them should've been just to add a 
few services.
After  i noticed pretty delayed notifications and then some latency i 
started making changes and it still hasn't changed all that much

any recommendations on changes?

i tried going through the tweak guide but no luck that i've noticed.

when i take a host down i noticed it doesn't detect it for about 5-10 
minutes
same with detecting it after it comes back up

I'm fairly haphazard in my approach.  Sometimes I set up each physical
interface as a host.  If, like me, you're not too interested in the
details of the network (you only want to know enough to pass the
problem over to the network team) then I'd recommend only using the
interface(s) on the router which is/are most remote from your Nagios
server.

For example, if we have the following:

nagios---routerinterface10.1.1.3-router-routerinterface10.1.231.3---webapps

I would only bother to set up routerinterface10.1.231.3 and webapps as
hosts in Nagios.  If 10.1.1.3 goes down, Nagios will report 10.1.231.3
as 'down' and I simply pass it over to the networks team to work out
which interface/lan/wan/whatever is the problem.  The priority where
we (who are not responsible for networks) are concerned is to make
sure that Nagios tells us whether it is a host problem or a network
problem.  Also, Nagios won't bombard us with alerts for 'down' hosts
when the underlying problem is with the network.

If webapps has two interfaces, for example an internal one on
10.1.231.4 and an external one on 192.168.34.35 I would monitor both.
I would also set up another nagios server on a standard internet
connection so I can confirm that the web application page is
accessible from the internet.  In practice I do this by having a tiny
nagios server at home which polls my corporate web sites using
check_http every half hour or so (sad life I live I know).

Cheers,

Jim

You need to include the directive which allows service/host checks to be
parallelized. I had that same problem when I set up my first Nagios
install.

checks as high

I'm running about 120 services.
My Nagios seemed pretty speedy before until recently i dunno what
changes i made to do this but most of them should've been just to add a
few services.
After  i noticed pretty delayed notifications and then some latency i
started making changes and it still hasn't changed all that much

Hmmm, that is a very interesting situation. Are you using the latest

htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

 

that is the documentation portion for setting up the login interface. It

Make sure you have the latest version.

Here you're telling nagios to check a service 10 times with 1 minute
delay between checks once a service goes down before notifying. This is
a 10+ minute delay before notification. You probably want to lower
max_check_attempts.

Here you're telling nagios to run the host check_command 10 times before
determining the host is really down and notifying. Depending one what
your host check_command is, that could be a problem. For example, if the
check_command is 10 pings, that's 10+ seconds * 10 times or 100+ seconds
during which nagios will do absolutely nothing else except obsess over
this host. It looks like it might only be 1 ping but I don't know if
your Check_ICMP definition actually uses $ARG1$.

>         check_interval                  0

I'd remove this line entirely. I'm unsure what a value of 0 will do but
any host check_interval in highly discouraged in nagios2.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host

"check_interval: 	NOTE: Do NOT enable regularly scheduled checks
of a host unless you absolutely need to! Host checks are already
performed on-demand when necessary, so there are few times when
regularly scheduled checks would be needed. Regularly scheduled host
checks can negatively impact performance - see the performance tuning
tips for more information. This directive is used to define the number
of "time units" between regularly scheduled checks of the host. Unless
you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of
60, this number will mean minutes. More information on this value can be
found in the check scheduling documentation."

I tracked this down:
http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/nets/tools/nagios/

Which showed 1 way to resolve the issue - but is not the 'best' way to do
so.

Subject: Nagios Uptime reports.
Message-ID: <6F11F0B85CE3C841A4C78C8F364C1C6213460C@mail2.sd.defenseweb.net>

Is there a way to generate monthly uptime reports and have them e-mailed
to people?  Some of our contracts require a specific percentage of
uptime and we have to prove that we didn't go bellow the percentage on a
monthly basis.  Our current monitoring system allows us to generate a
monthly report which gets sent to specified e-mail addresses and shows
the uptime percentage.

Thank you,
Jeff

Adi,
We have found that the answer to this question is dependent upon 
multiple factors. Total number of service checks is of course one 
factor, and Nagios 2.5 (the last version we tested) will fail to start 
at around 24,000 service and host objects combined. We have also found 
that with typical settings, the top end limit of Nagios running active 
service checks on a 2 CPU system with 2GB RAM is around 500/minute. 
Beyond this, we observed a tipping point, where latency crept up to more 
than 300 seconds and stayed there. This of course depends on the running 
time of the plugins used, the number of failed checks, and hence the 
number of retires, the service timeout, etc.
Suffice to say that there is not an easy formula that covers all 
situations. To baseline, you will need to hold many factors constant. 
Our "typical" settings will not work for more than 5% of the readers of 
this list, if that, and I have seen some systems running as many as 800 
checks/minute in an optimized state, with low latency.

Another limitation to watch out for is the number of host state changes 
per minute. With event handlers and/or notifications enabled, we have 
seen Nagios handle 300 or so state changes per minute before latency 
again becomes a problem. Of course, this depends on the number and speed 
of the event handlers, and the speed and type of the host check, which 
we optimize. In Nagios 3.x the host checks will be parallelized, but in 
2.x so far, they block all service checks, and so are a major 
contributor to latency.

A way around many of these limits is to use passive checks for Nagios. 
We have found that on a 100% passive system with typical settings 
(typical for US, remember), that around 3000 service checks can reliably 
be processed per minute. This number goes up significantly when a 
ramdisk is used to house the command pipe, and when NSCAfe is used 
instead of NSCA to receive and process the checks.

If you are interested in commentary on your nagios plugin-writing 
project, please contact us directly. We often write and enhance plugins 
for this project, and would be happy to share what we know.

/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd

The user that smtpreceiver.pl runs as needs to be added to the nagios
group, based on the permissions above.

While specifically documenting how to submit external commands from a
web server, the documentation at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html covers the
concepts you need to understand to submit them from a script.

yeah my icmp was already set to 1 ping and the retries was lowered to 2 
anyway.
I removed the 0 value and set it to blank.
Hosts are responding normally tho it still takes about 2 or 3 mins for 
it to detect which really is fine.
but i'm still getting about like 400-700 sec latency on my services. 
service execution time is only like .5 seconds

i'm running outta ideas.

i've tried parallelizing all the services i've tried putting the 
concurrent checks number up. It's not straining my system at all even 
when i set the concurrent checks to like 100.
by the way when i run the -s option in nagios i found this peculiar

That's a bit high for avg host check interval isn't it?
Anyhow i'm more concerned with the services still.

Don't set it to blank, remove the directive entirely. Nagios will fail
if you leave the directive in with a blank value.

Hosts will only be checked when a service on the host fails. This is
probably directly related to the service latency for that host.

Post an entire host/service definition, not just your templates.

Yes, it should be 0.00s but that's what you've specified in some host
definition. ;) You should have 0 scheduled hosts. Nagios will
automagically run host checks as needed.

> Anyhow i'm more concerned with the services still.

Yes, certainly as that's nagios's main focus as well. There's something
fundamental that's missing. I would expect a 286 box to be able to
handle that number of checks easily ;)

I'd try setting in nagios.cfg --

max_concurrent_check=0
service_reaper_frequency=2

If that didn't make a difference I'd try setting normal_check_interval
to 5 in my service definitions. If that worked, lower it progressively.

You also specify performance data collection --

process_performance_data=1
host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

Are these scripts working as expected? If not you could be adding 5
seconds per check to your latency.

You've got an magical eye for things
Apparently that 1 host that i accidently left scheduled was the 
problem... *i think*
i also set the rest of the things you told me to like the lower reaper 
interval.

However things are fine and dandy...
i really thing it was that host though.

Thanks

Hi Rainer,

Thank you very much for your reply. I have the CD's here somewhere for 
Insight Manager and will have a look to find the MIBS for the particular 
hardware.  (never thought to look on the CD's). Downloading an SNMP 
browser from the internet should be easy enough.
When I manage to find some free time I'll investigate further and let the 
list know how I got on.

Once again, thanks for your input.

Joe

Well, I wrote something like this some years ago, mainly to check fans 
and temperature.
I posted it to the mailing-list and I uploaded the plugins to sourceforge.
That was in January 2005. They are in the contrib directory in the 
nagiosplugins source distribution.
You should get hold of an InsightManager CD and copy the MIBs to the 
directory where your SNMP-client stores MIBs.
Then you can use a SNMP-browser (like mbrowse on Unix-systems) to access 
the MIBs and get an idea of what you should be looking at.

Please note that these plugins are very crude - there's probably a more 
elegant way to access all these MIBs and automate some of the hardcoded 
stuff in there...


cheers,
Rainer

Message-ID: <60721B67EAF0994EAFFB561767B700140125D7E3@nets13ha.ww300.siemens.net>

I tried to get NDOutils 1.4b3 running with my Nagios 2.9 installation on Solaris 8 and run
into the following problems:
 
1. error during compile: Solaris 8 doesn't provide the SUN_LEN macro, so i copied it from one of
    my Linux - systems   ---> compile ok.
2. error during linking: Solaris 8 doesn't provide "strtof". I found the source for strtof on www.koders.com
    and added it ---> link ok
3. i changed nagios.cfg to add the ndomod-2x.o and restarted nagios (before i started ndo2db) and
    i get an entry in nagios_instances and in nagios_conninfo that it's connected, but nothing else.... 
    no entries for service-checks, no configuration, nothing....
 
    so i googled around and find out that i also have to activate "event_broker_options"....  so i did
    (set it to "-1") and when restarting Nagios it stops with a segmentation fault...
 
any ideas what i did wrong?   
 
thanks a lot,
christian

Quite possibly, like I said, it's been a while since there wasn't any 
perfdata to be processed on mine....

Thu Apr 26 13:12:54 2007 INSERT info: Input servicedescr:PING

load15=0.270;3.000;4.000;0;

is it doing its job, I guess from your manual run of it - that should have 
created an RRD for localhost Ping (localhost_PING_ping.rrd I think).

Thu Apr 26 13:13:10 2007 INSERT debug: Config
perflog:/var/adm/logs/nagios/service-perfdata

looks wrong, this is my nagios.cfg entry:

# HOST AND SERVICE PERFORMANCE DATA FILES
# These files are used to store host and service performance data.
# Performance data is only written to these files if the
# enable_performance_data option (above) is set to 1.

#host_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/perf/host-perfdata
service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata.dat

.. and my nagiosgraph.conf corresponding entry


# Location of performance data file. Comment out it not used.
perflog = /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata.dat

Do they match in your config?


Maybe there are 2 Nagios processes running? Or maybe the current running 
process is using an old version of performance data global settings, and 
the service performance data settings - might be worth a stop Nagios, 
check the processes are all gone, start Nagios if you can. It looks like 
it CAN run just isn't.

config.h is generated by the configure script (which is itself generated
by configure.in) and everything in config.h is specific to the
os/distribution and possibly other apps installed on it.

The problem you're having is definitely a bug and it would be helpful
that you send us the output of the broken check_ping plugin when you add
the "-vvv"  parameter to it.

Thanks,

Thomas

Subject: Nagios Looking Glass - Authentication
Message-ID: <001001c788bc$0eb858a0$8c6313d4@retesesa.it>

I have a question about configuration:

I use authentication in nagios web interface, and I use authenticated
contacts to give access to only certain hosts/services to users.

 

Example:

 

User johndoe is a contact for server1 and server3

User foobar is a contact for server2

 

In nagios web interface user johndoe can only access services residing on
server1 and server3, while user foobar only sees server2.

I expected this to be true for NLG too, but I found that using
$ServerFeed_AuthEnabled = 1 and indicating the user/password in the config
files, gives user johndoe access to server1, server2, server3.

The same apply for user foobar.

 

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Carlo Piccini

Hi friends of Nagios!

I?m trying to monitor a service that works with snmp traps. The problem is 
that i recive the trap in my server, but nagios doesn?t do anything.
The service  status is "pending", also when the trap arrives into our 
server  the status of the service that works with traps continues 
"pending".
For making this work we follow a manual, we configured snmptrapd , we 
installed snmptrap translator and the simple event correlator (sec).
Then we defined a service on Nagios to handle the traps on it. After that 
we introduced mib definition. The manual that we followed is this:

http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9559/sam0503g/


Which migth be the problem?

Any suggestion for monitor the traps?

P.D.

This problem happened on Nagios 2.7 and on  recently upgraded Nagios 3.0a3

There are a lot of things that could be broken here, and not enough information to tell you which one.

Check your logs to make sure snmptt is getting the traps, and make sure that the trap(s) you're receiving are defined in its configs. If they are, verify that the EXEC command in the snmptt config is valid, and that it updates the status in Nagios if you run it manually.

Do you ever see the result submitted to Nagios in the Nagios logs? If you do, check for errors in the command it's receiving. If you don't, your problem is farther back in the chain, with snmptt or snmptrapd.

I've got a few HP printers I want to monitor. I'm particularly
interested in knowing when they are out of paper, and when their toner
is running low. I've done some research and can't seem to find any good
place with the OID's that I need. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? Thanks.

Nagios is likely to be complaining in nagios.log. What do you see there? Possible problems --
	Nagios isn't checking external commands.
	Nagios isn't accepting passive checks.
	Your script isn't writing to the correct nagios.cmd.
	Your script doesn't have permission to write to nagios.cmd.
	The service definition isn't configured for passive checks.
	The host name/service description being submitted don't match a known host/service combination.

Luis,

We do this by just listing more than one address for the "email"
attribute of a contact.  For instance,

define contact {
...
	email	foo at bar.com, blaz at biff.com, boot at abc.com
}

I have several contacts that generate mail to several addresses just
fine.

FYI.

The check_hpjd plugin should do that for you.

If you're using /bin/mail(x) as your notification command you can just
specify a comma separated list of e-mail addresses since it accepts that
format.

define contact{
        contact_name                    somename
        alias                           Multi-Contact
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   service-notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email
address1 at domain.foo,address2 at domain.foo,...
        }

You may have a SNMP version issue. Specify -v 2 in your command

I am using the check_hpjd plugin, but I just have it configured to
monitor the printer. I do not have any OID's defined in the command.
Does the plug-in do this automatically?

The check_hpjd plugin should do that for you.

NSClient does not speak SNMP.

 

If you want to perform checks using SNMP, install/configure Windows SNMP service.

To perform checks using NSClient you use check_nt og perhaps  check_nrpe if using nsclient++

I've got the NSClient setup on a Windows 2003 Server, and Nagios shows
it as up but all the services it's checking report back as critical 
"connection refused".

Any ideas?

If it is a new install of NSClient++ or for that mater most of the window
plugins including NC_NET, the older NSClient or NRPE: SInce you are getting
a Connection refused the issue is most likely

1) the Client is not running, (NSCLIENT is not running) check the processes
on the Windows server to verify.
2) the port is in use by a different program,  sometimes other apps grab
hold of the default port
3) your Windows Server Firewall(or antivirus)  was not configured to allow
NSClient to accept incomming connections (Most likely cause of the problem)
4) you setup NSClient to use one port but check_Nt is trying to comunicate
on a different port.  (this is posible, verify configuration and test using
check_Nt from command line)

I do not know how much error reporting NS_Client does but you can also check
the Windows Event Log

Subject: Weird State Issue
Message-ID: <4632299E.8090707@onetruemedia.com>

My nagios install has just gone into a weird state.  I lost some files
from my /var/log/nagios directory due to running out of disk space... 
In any case, now my service checks or status is in some weird state.

For instance...I just received notification that 3 of my services are at
their max attempts..I verify this on the Service Problems page...they
show 3/3 attempts.  I click on the service to Acknolwedge and this next
frame shows 1/3 attempts.. I know this isn't a cache issue because I've
turned it off and I've tried holding down Control when I reload.  I see
this behavior right now in both IE and Firefox.  Anybody know how I can
reset the state of my Nagios install so it isn't in this wacked out state?

At this point I don't care about any history I might lose...I just need
the checks / notifications to get back into a sane state..

Thanks,
-Anthony

Sounds like you have multiple nagios processes running.

I would just make the exchange server a smarthost on the local nagios'
sendmail.cf file ... (Not sure how to "bypass" the local mailer?)

Not a Nagios specific question, but you want to edit /etc/mail/submit.mc

Change this:
FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl

To whathever the IP is on your Exchange box or edit /etc/mail/submit.cf
and change D{MTAHost}[127.0.0.1] to the appropriate IP.

If you still want to keep the sendmail daemon running and don't want to
edit submit.mc or submit.cf then modify sendmail.mc instead:

dnl define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider')
and change it to
define(`SMART_HOST',`IP of your exchange server')

and recompile with m4..

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Hi

 

I've implemented NetFlow on my routers & L3 Switches.

 

Is there any nagios plugin available to show application wise bandwidth
status i.e. which application is consuming how much bandwidth? 

 

Regards

Navdeep Singh Sidhu

No. Nagios only cares up to a trinary stage. That is it it either OK, 
there is a warning or there is a critical error. (I skipped the other 
states on pupose here ;-)

It looks like you want to play with cacti. Or others tools of the graphing 
type.

In-Reply-To: <001001c788bc$0eb858a0$8c6313d4@retesesa.it>

No you're not missing anything.  NLG and Nagios authentication are two 
completely different things.

NLG was originally designed as a public facing service for ISPs to 
provide a "self-help" website where their customers could check on their 
network status, or for IT departments to show the rest of their business 
departments the state of the network, so it didn't make sense to have 
any sort of security model in place.

However since it's release it's become apparent that Nagios admins would 
like to restrict users to only see certain hosts/groups of hosts, so 
this is being built into the next major release of NLG (anticipated in 
4-6 months time.)

The authentication option in Nagios Looking Glass is only required to be 
set if the polling script (server/s3_poller.php) sits behind a 
.htaccess-protected directory (recommended.)

Technically, the plugins don't need the MIBs.

They are just "nice to have" - and you can get a good idea for more  
things to monitor.
You can also use them in cacti etc.

I don't know where I took the MIBs from. Maybe you've got to fetch  
them from an actual install.


cheers,
Rainer

Hi
Thanks Hugo for your reply.

I have already installed PNP for graphical output.

But my main objective is to capture bandwidth utilization.

Is there any way out to do this..???

Hi

 

I've implemented NetFlow on my routers & L3 Switches.

 

Is there any nagios plugin available to show application wise bandwidth
status i.e. which application is consuming how much bandwidth? 

 

Regards

No. Nagios only cares up to a trinary stage. That is it it either OK, 
there is a warning or there is a critical error. (I skipped the other 
states on pupose here ;-)

It looks like you want to play with cacti. Or others tools of the
graphing 
type.

Go for Cacti. I installed in the time it took me to eat two sandwiches

Subject: Monitor host
Message-ID: <e4a2c74c0704300117l3ff2876am2806b1ade85b9c7a@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

My name is Sujith. I have a small problem with Nagios.
I had installed nagios in a router. And then I am trying
to monitor a few machines. Now the problem is that
if I monitor both host and services of the clients it seems
to be Ok. But if I would like to monitor host only
and no services(of client machines) the problem arises.
The problem is that in the nagios page it shows
"host check not yet done" for the client hosts.  And it
remains like that for ever. Is there any way to monitor
the client hosts and not its services. I am using check_ping
as the plugin to check whether the client host is up or not!!

Cheers

Sujith Haridasan

This is a known design issue in Nagios 1.x and 2.x
It is somewhat better with 3.x but the fast suggestion is you always 
define a service for a host.

Nagios is a service monitoring program. Every host must have at least
one service defined. If the device you're monitoring offers no other
interesting services than ICMP then you must define a check_ping service
for it if you wish it to be monitored regularly.

You can use PNP to graph pretty much anything from Nagios.  So long as
the plugin produces performance information and you have
process_perf_data set to 1, PNP will usually graph it no problem.

There was an announcement recently that the Nagios snmp plugins have
been improved to provide performance information.  See
http://nagios.manubulon.com/  I confess I haven't tried these latest
plugins yet, but I intend to soon.

Cheers,

Jim

In what way?  Do you want to monitor Postfix, or send notifications with
it? It works fine either way.

I want to send notifications with it. I've got it configured, and I sent
a test email that worked to the email address that will be receiving the
nagios alerts, now I just need to know how to make nagios work with it. 

On my Ubuntu machine it is installed by default to /etc/postfix.

Thanks.

If that's the case, then the default notification commands from the
example configs should work fine. Assuming Postfix is correctly
configured to send mail from local accounts, there's no real difference
between using it as your MTA versus with any other.

I'm noticing this the more I work on it. I can get it to send emails out
just testing, but my nagios configuration won't send them out. I've
defined /usr/sbin/postfix inside commands.cfg instead of the default
...../printf thing that was in there. Should I have not done that?

A Special thanks to Michael and Glynn in teaching me about Nagios.

 

 

I misinterrepted the command definition for the
process-service-perfdata.

 

#       #command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"$LASTSERVICECHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SE
RVICEATTEMPT$\t$SERVICESTATETYPE$\t$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME$\t$SERVICELATEN
CY$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\                             n"
>> /var/log/nagios/service-perfdata.out

#       command_line    /etc/nagios/nagiosgraph-0.8.2/insert.pl
"$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICEDESC$||
$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERFDATA$"

#       }

#

##

 

define command {

        command_name process-service-perfdata

        command_line /usr/bin/perl
/etc/nagios/nagiosgraph-0.8.2/insert.pl

        }

 

I believe I am now getting the correct output with only a few errors.
What is an illegal attempt?  See below.

Enabling perfdata?  I have:

 

What I meant is, I use nagiosweb for web interface to the config files
and was having a similar problem, couldn't get the rrds to go
automagically, and what I noticed was that nagiosweb still had perfdata
disabled even though I had the same settings as below...so I thought
maybe you might be running something else too...

 

process_performance_data=1  ::Is this necessary since
######service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata is commented
out?  (YES)

 

service_perfdata_file=/var/adm/logs/nagios/service-perfdata

service_perfdata_file_mode=a

service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=30

service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata

 

then,

 

define command {

        command_name process-service-perfdata

        command_line /usr/bin/perl
/etc/nagios/nagiosgraph-0.8.2/insert.pl
"$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERF
DATA$" (these variables aren't necessary here)

            }

Do y9ou run anything else like nagiosweb perhaps?? Check to ensure that
perfdata is actually enabled. I had the trouble of using nagiosweb and
it was keeping perfdata disabled even though I had it enabled in
nagios.cfg

I made the changes that you suggested.  Still no success.  I was able to
create the rrd's after manaully running the insert.pl as the nagios
user.  Then, I had to revert back to my original serviceextinfo.cfg to
see the graphs.  Now I need to determine how to have this run
automagically.

You're welcome, hope that helps...as for previous work...not sure, I
have only been with the clinic for 3 months and before that with

I have followed all of the instructions from Wolfgang, the INSTALL file
from nagiosgraph-0.8.2 and any readme that I can find.  The
nagiosgraph.log is empty and the directory that I specify for the
"rrddir" is empty.  If I run the /usr/share/rrdtool/examples/perftest.pl
it generates a database.  Here is what I have:

 

Nagios.cfg

This is what I have in my config file for notify-service-by email as
well as host

I have postfix up and running, yet Nagios still won't alert, what is
wrong with this?


Command_line	mail "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:

I'm noticing this the more I work on it. I can get it to send emails out
just testing, but my nagios configuration won't send them out. I've
defined /usr/sbin/postfix inside commands.cfg instead of the default
...../printf thing that was in there. Should I have not done that?

If that's the case, then the default notification commands from the
example configs should work fine. Assuming Postfix is correctly
configured to send mail from local accounts, there's no real difference
between using it as your MTA versus with any other.

I'd recommend going back to the original notification commands. Yours is
broken and/or suboptimal in several ways: 

1. You've hard-coded a recipient address.  Nagios will pull the address
it needs to use from your configs.

2. Many of your macros are host-specific and will not work for service
notifications.

3. You're passing printf command to the mail command.

4. You're piping the results to nowhere.

Subject: Browser showing "old" check results
Message-ID: <f19880050704301407s6193c8c4m7d305cb970a57a53@mail.gmail.com>

I'm using SNMP to execute scripts remotely, and passing the results back to
nagios. The scripts work great, as does the snmp portion, but when I watch
the browser, it occasionally does a flip-flop on which result it displays.
For example, if I see a check executed at 13:31 PM and wait for the
auto-refresh, sometimes it show the results from 13:16 instead - Not good,
especially if I need to keep up-to-date info on my screen.

Anybody else experience something like this?

It's in the FAQ. Multiple nagios processes running.
