What's the proper way to configure nagios and selinux to work
together? I've run into the same problem as described here:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-September/msg02007.html
Setting selinux to permissive got my test nagios going. But, now I
need to migrate to a production system with selinux set to enforcing
and type set to targeted. Thanks for any tips.

Can you move the cgi's (or possibly hardlink them) to someplace that
apache will let them run (say /var/www/nagios2/cgi-bin)? Otherwise you
might need some sort of a compile option to just install them there.
Someone more familiar with the build process might be able to help here.
There's also ways to hack apache (may require recompile) to allow this,
but I'm under the impression from these two posts that SELinux would
disallow those changes to take effect?

I don't use Fedora nor do I use SELinux but googling for "fedora nagios
selinux" seems to provide a number of links with very specific
instructions. I know SELinux policies have been discussed here and those
will be available in the archives as well.

That would not help, given a tightly locked SELinux system, I believe.

The point is to configure SELinux to allow whatever is necessary. This
will not only be apache and the cgis, but also the monitoring plugins
and, of course, nagios itself.
I've never used SELinux, but AFAIK you can run a system, log all the
activities, review that log to make sure everything is ok, and convert
that in a ruleset which allows just what you observed.
This will not work where programs do things that were never observed.
Just think about event handler scripts that never got triggered in your
observation phase.
In short, you will need someone who actually knows that SELinux stuff
and has access to the machine in question. A security oriented person
would hopefully never install SELinux rules on such a machine that he
did not review or even create himself.
Sounds like that servers admin :-)

Thanks for all the replies. I'm using CentOS, but didn't even think
to add "centos" to the google search. I'm working through the

Which distribution are you using? My init-script (based on the one from
Dag Wieers Nagios-RPM) starts nagios this way:
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting network monitor: nagios"
$NagiosBin -v $NagiosCfgFile > /dev/null 2>&1;
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
su - $NagiosUser -c "/usr/bin/ndo2db -c
/etc/nagios/ndo2db.cfg"
su - $NagiosUser -c "touch
$NagiosVarDir/nagios.log $NagiosRetentionFile"
rm -f $NagiosCommandFile
touch $NagiosRunFile
chown $NagiosUser:$NagiosGroup $NagiosRunFile
$NagiosBin -d $NagiosCfgFile

If that is necessary then your setup is, IMO, broken.
su uses the system-wide setting for the home directoy. At least it does
so on all the systems I know.
That has been demonstarted in this thread.
Thus, there is no need for a work-around - you'd better check what is
broken in your setup.

No, it's probably only you who has that problem. So it would be better
to fix your problem and not create new ones...
By the way - and I don't know the start script you quote from - the HOME
variable probably needs to be exported before it takes effect.

Hello,
Question concerning OpenVMS with SSH towards Nagios.
I have some OpenVMS 7.3-2 Alpha at site and I wanna use Nagios to check
some stuff like disk space, processes, batchjobs... i have written some
procedures in DCL (Digital Command Language) which return a status and a
comment line.
The Nagios server
OS RedHat4
Nagios v2.5
OpenVMS client
OS v7.3-2 (soon 8.3)
TCPIP 5.4 eco 6
SSL v1.2
The problem is, when I use SSH for the connection, the first line I get
at the Nagios server is a blanc line and then the comments I put
through. So at the Nagios console I don't see sh**. As far as I have
checked and debugged the line comes from the SSH connection.
Is there anyone who has implemented Nagios on OpenVMS with the SSH
connection? Is there a way to say at the Nagios server that he has to
ignore the first line he gets from the client?
Now I am using NRPE but I would prefer to standardize arround SSH
because we are now already using it for a various number of other
things.

Hi,
Nagios has been added to Update-Scout.com, an interactive web
service, that informs its users about software updates and releases.
Users can set up personal update news feeds from the Update-Scout
software catalog and even add new entries to the catalog.
The address is http://www.update-scout.com .
The latest version number is currently grabbed from
http://www.nagios.org/download/ . If there is a better possibility to
retrieve the version (e.g. PAD file), I would be glad to know.
Thanks,
Peter Kullmann

You've got a problem with the perl script. The embedded Perl requires
that you follow certain rules in your script. I suupose that there's the
problem.
How to use ePn is documented somewhere - as I don't use it myself I
don't have the URL here.

I have also been experiencing memory leaks, such that the kernel has
been taking drastic action by killing processes starting with nagios and
often including httpd, sshd etc. This all seems to happen at about 4:45
every morning. A reboot solves the problem and everything starts up
again, but yesterday I decided to reboot using the single processor
kernel (most of our nodes are dual processor, some are dual core as
well) and there is no sign of a memory leak today !
Does that give anyone any clues ?

Hi,
My check_mrtgtraf returns STATE_UNKOWN, it should really be STATE_OK.
Why?
My check-command is like this:
/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_mrtgtraf -F
/usr/local/www/data/mrtg_switch/gatekeeper.log -a MAX -w 375000,375000
-c 500000,500000 -e 10
Output is this:
Traffic UNKNOWN - Max. In = 39.6 KB/s, Max. Out = 192.0
KB/s|in=39.619141KB/s;375000.000000;500000.000000;0.000000
in=192.045898KB/s;375000.000000;500000.000000;0.000000
Lowering warning and critical options triggers STATE_WARNING and
STATE_CRITICAL. Is this a bug? I can't see anything in check_mrtgtraf.c
setting STATE_OK other than when plugin is execute with a -V or -h
option.
Cheers,
Espen Tagestad

Yep, clearly a problem with ePN.
You can just call /usr/bin/perl /path/to/your/plugin.pl as a check command
to prevent the ePN usage for just that plugin/event handler.
With nagios 3 you'll be able to enable/disable epn on a per script basis
by using settings in the first few lines within the script

Hi,
I have Nagios 2.5 with plugins 1.4.5
I have an url and it can happend 2 possibilities:
1? If it's OK, it responds a binary file
2? If it's ERROR, it responds a html page, wich tell us that 'The service is
not available'
I want to check this, but... how can I do it?
How can I check if a determinated string is in the binary file?
Or.... can I change the check_http for giving me an ERROR when find an
string?
Normaly, if you check an url, and a string to expect in the content, if you
find it, you have an OK answer.
I want the opposite. If I find a string in the content, I want an ERROR
answer...
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Yolanda

Yolanda,
With the plugin package came (if I'm not mistaken) a small binary called
'negate'. This should be in your plugin directory. With this you can
negate the returncodes of your plugins; ie: Error becomes Ok, and vice
versa. See the help output of negate below:
negate (nagios-plugins 1.3.1) 1.5.2.2
The nagios plugins come with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. You may redistribute
copies of the plugins under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
For more information about these matters, see the file named COPYING.
Copyright (c) 2002 Karl DeBisschop <kdebisschop at users.sourceforge.net>
Negates the status of a plugin (returns OK for CRITICAL, and vice-versa).
Usage:
negate [-t timeout] <definition of wrapped plugin>
negate (-h | --help) for detailed help
negate (-V | --version) for version information
Options:
-t, --timeout=INTEGER
Terminate test if timeout limit is exceeded (default: 9)
[keep this less than the plugin timeout to retain CRITICAL status]
This plugin is a wrapper to take the output of another plugin and invert
it.
If the wrapped plugin returns STATE_OK, the wrapper will return
STATE_CRITICAL.
If the wrapped plugin returns STATE_CRITICAL, the wrapper will return
STATE_OK.
Otherwise, the output state of the wrapped plugin is unchanged.
Send email to nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net if you have questions
regarding use of this software. To submit patches or suggest improvements,
send email to nagiosplug-devel at lists.sourceforge.net

hi friends,
I have configured Nagios 2.6 in a Production Environment. There are
about 200 servers and about 1000 services which are being monitored by
nagios.
I want to remove acknowledge comments associated with the hosts or
services is there any command through which I can achieve this.
Thanks & Regards

I have a script that loads in the status and comments.dat file, and
looks for any services that are OK, that have acknowlege comments
associated with them, and the give the option to delete.
I don't consider this ready for prime time, so I havent thought about
putting it up on nagios exchange yet. But you are free to try to adapt
it.
Rename to complean.tar.gz, Unzip, untar, edit for your paths, and run
comclean.pl
