The availability report does not quite meet this requirement as, annoyingly, it only seems to exclude periods in downtime on the host detail, not for the hostgroup as a whole. I use the ndo2db module to export my logs to a mysql database, but I am unable to create thye report as I cannot see any way to cleanly extract host up and down pairs - can anyone assist? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

We use both. For our 'live' Nagios, we have two servers running Linux-HA which are both connected to the same external SCSI disk unit via an Adaptec ServeRAID card. Linux-HA takes care of failing over the control of the disk unit, and the virtual IP, apache, and Nagios services. This way, we can shut down server A and server B will take over everything within a few seconds. So, we get 100% uptime, provided our main datacentre is online. However, for DR, we have another Nagios server at a remote site. This server has a mirror of the configuration files but Nagios is normally down. A regular cron job attempts to check Nagios on the live server (via NRPE and check_nagios) and if Nagios is down on the live server, then the DR Nagios is started up. We could do this alternatively by having Nagios always running, but with service checks and notifications disabled. Then, when the check fails, use the command pipe to send in the enable commands (and disable commands when it comes back). In this case, you could even use a custom host check and event handler to take care of it all internally to Nagios, although this would prevent you from simply using a straight copy of the live configuration files. I think there is some documentation on this at the Nagios web site.

First, all host notifications are being sent out on the first soft error. I thought this was impossible, that nagios is only supposed to send notifications out on the first hard error, can someone verify this for me? Also, recovery notifications don't get sent out at all. There's no log of any attempted notifications and yet all the host and contact settings are for "d,u,r". Service notifications work exactly as expected, notifications get sent on the first hard error and recovery notifications get sent as well. Thanks in advance.

We're in the process of moving to Nagios 2.x here, and in doing so I fixed a couple of bugs in this script, and improved it considerably. Until now I've not been able to properly test under Nagios 2.x. I have just uploaded the v2.0beta1 of these scripts to Nagiosexchange (URL below). Support on http://www.steveshipway.org/forum As to your other question - you could always define a special timeperiod in Nagios and set checks/notifications to be limited to this, although it is a bit different from scheduling downtime. Steve New Nagios user here (2.9). I have a server that restarts every day. I want to schedule downtime for a server every day at the same time. I know that I can't do it with the basic nagios package. I found an add-on on nagios exchange. (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Downtimes.38.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp _view%5D=363) The new version of the add-on is supposed to work with 2.x. Does anyone here use it and have any suggestions for me? Is there another way to accomplish what I want to do? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How often do you really do that? I've found that scheduled downtime fits 99% of situations and those that that it doesn't (long term outages), editing the config on the master then rsync/scp and reload on the collector works just fine. > Or is the usual setup to let the useres access the web interface > of each "checker machine"?

We do everything on the central machine. Our collectors just collect and send results inward. Users all use just the central machine. Scheduled downtimes, acknowledgements, etc don't need to propagate out if you do all your management and reporting from the central machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

All you really need to do is grant USAGE rights to test user and then not give them rights to anything else. From here, you can use your resource file to put the password in there, and with proper permissions, only root and the nagios user can read that file. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

There are a few dependencies for using the RPM. If you're not against installing them, then you can add Dag's repo to your RHEL configuration long enough to install, and then remove it. Install Dag's package key: rpm -import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt Add to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources #Uncomment dag's repo to install/update packages yum dag http://dag.atrpms.net/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag Remember to comment the yum line back out after you are done installing things, as to not screw up the RPM database by accident at a later date. This isn't supported by Red Hat, so if this is a production machine, please be aware of that. I've done this before, however, on two production machines and not had a problem, but that doesn't mean something won't break. Now, do your normal up2date to install things. up2date --install nagios-plugins I don't remember if it takes care of dependencies or not, but if it doesn't, you can install perl-Net-SNMP the same: up2date --install perl-Net-SNMP This will also make it easier to upgrade the package in the future, just remember to comment the yum dag line out when you are finished installing or upgrading packages from his repo.

Chances are ttyS0 is already in use (or, maybe, doesn't exist). Some process on the box, like a serial console, may have already grabbed the port. "lsof | grep ttyS0" may help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

This is the biggest disadvantage of the distributed model, in my opinion - enable/disable checks commands are not propagated (and indeed cannot be without some serious reworking of the cmd.cgi interface) and so you cannot stop checking any more. However this is not such a big issue, as mostly you are more interested in scheduling downtime and disabling/acknowledging alerts, all of which are done on the central server. The satellite servers (collectors) do not do notifications, only pass the status on to the central server (aggregator) via the OCSP command. If I was obsessive about it, I'd modify the cmd.cgi script so that it spots a distributed service (no active checks, only freshness checks to set to 'unknown') and forwards to call to the host managing it (which I'd have to store the definition of in a separate database table or something). Too much trouble though, particularly since our users are forever clicking 'disable checks' when they actually mean 'disable alerts' or 'acknowledge'.

Further, there's a neat system of when a machine goes down an SMS and email is sent to the responsible person. However, when the parent machine goes down, all the VMs (for obvious reasons) send out a "Oh Noes!" message as well. This is not wanted. Now the nagios documentation, dating back from the netsaint days, says the system to walk a dependency path using parent_host... however the hosts.cfg has entries like the following: define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name guestvm1 alias guestvm1 address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx parents xendom0 check_command check-host-alive } Now presumably, cgis like statusmap.cgi is built from this information. Would changing 'parents' to 'parent_map' in the above fix the dependency walk and notifications? And would it break statusmap.cgi?

Is any other way to handle them? Use an eventhandler and submit a SCHEDULE_SVC_CHECK through the external command interface on a non-OK state. If you only want an alert if both fail, you'll probably still want a dependency to handle that. I'm not sure what you mean with your last sentence.

After you run this, you cannot move the .exe file, else the service will not be able to start! Here, I have made a windows install package, which installs the stuff into C:\program files\monitoring and then automatically calls the /install option to register the service.

I do that, it says that it's finished, so I'm assuming that the NSC.ini file I have to edit is the one I have in my c:\temp\ dir.

For what version of Nagios NXE written? It would appear (http://nxe.sf.net) that NXE was published in July 2003 and hasn't been touched since. I would guess it was tested with the nagios version of that time. A lot of things has happened in nagios since 2003. /L > I ask this because in nxe.config I see strange file status.log.

For service checks this is pretty straightforward adjusting retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts. You do not want a max_check_attempts set that long for host checks with nagios-2.x or prior. Nagios stops _all_ other processing while hosts are being checked, up to max_check_attempts, so for 15 minutes nagios would do nothing but check that host. Using scheduled downtime is the easiest and preferred way or you could escalations but that gets messier. > 2) as I mentioned, I have made settings to get an alert only once. > But is it possible to get an alert for all machines once in a week too, > say every Monday morning? You'd need to create a custom notification script that contained this logic. Nagios does not have the ability to queue notifications; it'll call the notification script as soon as they're triggered. Your script could take those, store them in a file or database, then send them whenever you chose. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Use templates as much as possible, create standard checks for different types of hosts, use a database/front end to store host/service information that's important to your checks, autogenerate as much of your configs from the database as possible. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

If you reboot you have some sort of planned maintenance going on. So why not put the unit in maintenance for that period?

As long as you're using the default permissions from the installer, running as the nagios user should be sufficient for all but the external command file.

When you SSH into the server from the command line, make sure you do it using the exact same address Nagios uses (i.e., if you're going in by HOSTADDRESS in Nagios, don't use a DNS name on the command line), and that you're doing it as the user Nagios runs under. An entry needs to be in the Nagios user's known_hosts that exactly matches the address Nagios is using to get to the machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Where do you store your Nagios config file(s)? What did you configure? Because it will NOT work out of the box. You MUST read the manual and build your very own configuration. Before you do anything else you print the manual (or what ever makes it easy to read and take notes) and read it cover to cover at least once. Then make sure your next question here is clear enough so that we know what you did. Do not assume anything because we are not there, we can not see your computer, ..... What you tell us is what we know about your setup. Hugo. -- hvdkooij at vanderkooij.org http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ This message is using 100% recycled electrons.

What you can do in this case, is to map the requests that your page does when, for example, an event occurs. Example: In your Ajax page you click in a button and a request to server start to run. This request get some answer( probably xml ), work it and print it in output( the visible html ). If you can map this actions, you can use webinject to do all requests needed by your page to verify if the return is fine. Regards. RJM.

Permissions look consistent with mine (660, prw-rw----). Why the file perms changed, 6. Set user ID, set group ID, sticky bit In addition to the basic permissions discussed above, there are also three bits of information defined for files in UNIX: SUID or setuid: change user ID on execution. If setuid bit is set, when the file will be executed by a user, the process will have the same rights as the owner of the file being executed. SGID or setgid: change group ID on execution. Same as above, but inherits rights of the group of the owner of the file. For directories it also may mean that when a new file is created in the directory it will inherit the group of the directory (and not of the user who created the file). Sticky bit. It was used to trigger process to "stick" in memory after it is finished, now this usage is obsolete. Currently its use is system dependant and it is mostly used to suppress deletion of the files that belong to other users in the folder where you have "write" access to. I'm guessing this happens first time you attempt to execute, regardless of whether your submission succeeds or not - bet somebody can explain it properly, I'm rubbish on perms. #################################### --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now to show you where I run into the actual trouble.

I'm using Nagios 2.9. Scenario is: Servicecheck goes WARNING during the night (escalation says: no SMS, only MAIL!) -> WARNING Mails are dispatched Servicecheck goes OK during night (escalation says: SMS and MAIL are both ok) -> RECOVERY Mails + SMS are dispatched I really wonder why Nagios sends RECOVERY though Channels, which never received the WARNING/CRITICAL. If nothing changed in the policies lately, Nagios should only send RECOVERY to someone who got the WARNING/CRITICAL at first. The WARNING are send via Mail to NETWORK-CONTACTGROUP-MAIL, which contains a set of contacts for Mail. The RECOVERY instead is send to NETWORK-CONTACTGROUP-SMS, which contain a different set of contacts, that carry the pager number. Again: we have 2 different contacts for each person, one for mail, one for SMS! So the RECOVERY goes to a contact that didn't even receive the WARNING/CRITICAL in first place - that's what disturbs me most, despite the fact that unwanted SMS at 5am are quite disturbing too... Did anyone else notice this lately? Is anyone able to explain that behaviour to me? Config of the checks is as follows: (I have resolved all template inheritance to make it better readable - of course we do not set up things like that in real ;)) define service { name generic-SNMP max_check_attempts 2 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 active_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24x7 passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r notifications_enabled 1 stalking_options w,u,c contact_groups NETWORK-CONTACTGROUP-MAIL host_name USV01 service_description USV_TEMPERATURE servicegroups SERVICEGROUP register 1 check_command check_snmp!my-secret-community!iso.3.6.1.4.1.1356.1.2.4.0!1!:37!99:42 notification_interval 10 stalking_options c,w,u notification_options c,w,u,r } Naturally all notifications get overridden by our escaltion settings: # # Daylight: SMS every 10 Mins at first occurence # define serviceescalation { name esc_service_verfuegbarkeit_1_1 first_notification 1 last_notification 0 notification_interval 10 escalation_period daylight_hours escalation_options c host_name USV01 service_description USV_TEMPERATURE contact_groups NETWORK-CONTACTGROUP-SMS } # # Night: SMS once at the second occurence # define serviceescalation { name esc_service_verfuegbarkeit_1_2 first_notification 2 last_notification 0 notification_interval 600 escalation_period night_hours escalation_options c host_name USV01 service_description USV_TEMPERATURE contact_groups NETWORK-CONTACTGROUP-SMS } # # 24x7: Recovery via SMS (only fires when SMS has been dispatched before) # define serviceescalation { name esc_service_verfuegbarkeit_1_3 first_notification 1 last_notification 0 notification_interval 600 escalation_period 24x7 escalation_options r host_name USV01 service_description USV_TEMPERATURE contact_groups NETWORK-CONTACTGROUP-SMS } # # 24x7: Always receive notifacations via Mail too # define serviceescalation { name esc_service_verfuegbarkeit_1_4 first_notification 1 last_notification 0 notification_interval 10 escalation_period 24x7 escalation_options c,w,u,r host_name USV01 service_description USV_TEMPERATURE contact_groups NETWORK-CONTACTGROUP-MAIL } I'd appreciate any light sched into this matter.

It is much easier (for me) to use the check_http plugin to check for a string than to parse a text file located on a Windows share using Perl. Obviously you would have to have at least 1 Windows machine as a web server for this to be useful. Using the check_http plugin allows me to avoid having to mess around with mounting Windows shares via Samba and other various complications.

Here's what I've got done so far: I did a simple install of mod_auth_kerb (quick yum install), and setup the authentication servers to my DCs, and set the module to load with apache, the standard faire. Oddly enough, I found useful help on Microsoft's own knowledgebase here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555092/en-us I then modified /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf using the guidelines laid out in the above link, including setting "Require valid-user". Finally, a quick jump into cgi.cfg and a switch of rights from "nagiosadmin" to * and bam everyone is in (assuming they can authenticate of course). Here's my complication: What I'd really like to do is filter the access down to specific groups in AD, and utilize the access view filtering in nagios so that sql administrators only see the status of sql servers (as an example). I could probably use mod_auth_ldap, but is there a way to associate that LDAP group with a NAGIOS contact group so that I can reference it in cgi.cfg? The end goal would be that someone could manage all of the viewing/notification of Nagios through AD groups and not have to touch the Linux box directly at all. So anyone a member of "SQL Notifications" group would get notifications as well as be able to browse the nagios website for SQL status. Has anyone done anything like this?

You likely need to add mod_auth_pam and mod_auth_sys_group as well to your LoadModule statements (if they are not already there). Use require_group and then setup AD groups with the people you want in them. Once that is done you will be able to authenticate using the AD groups instead of the users. You also need to make sure that winbind is working properly, which it appears to be doing if your auth is already working. You can then do something along the lines of this in your Location directive: AuthPAM_Enabled on Require group "Nagios Admins" Order Deny,Allow Deny from All Allow from 10.10.10.10 This will do two things - allow you to auth on the group through AD as well as limit your access to those on the internal subnets, or external subnets that you want to allow. This will give you a "dual" setup for authentication/access that can be as restrictive or open as you deem proper for your environment. We currently do this for any of our servers that need authenticated access and it works flawlessly. Hope this helps.

Before you get to Nagios, you need to sniff your network and figure out what is happening on those phones and see what their traffic is doing. Use ethereal if you have it or download wireshark to see what traffic is being passed. Once you determine what the issue is you will likely have to write something - or find something already written - that will do what you need, but this sounds somewhat location specific. This is beyond nagios to help diagnose the problem, as you need to diagnose before you can monitor in this case. Also - look at your switches interface stats to determine if you have runts, retransmits etc.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

The problem is that active host checking became really sluggish after 500 hosts testing. I made some tests by disabling active checks and enabling ping service, but the host doesn't change state when the service is critical. Does anyone know any solution for passive checks on cisco routers? Or how to make the ping service change the state of the host when the ping service becomes critical? Or a way to implement passive checks for these cisco routers? If anyone can help I would be eternally thankful.

I believe the host will only change state if the host check fails - if you've disabled active host checks then that will never happen. The problem with the default check_ping is that it takes too long to run, and host checks can't be run in parallel (not until version 3 Nagios anyway). check_fping or check_icmp typically take a lot less time to run than check_ping which won't finish until all of the pings at 1-second intervals have been executed. I'd also recommend making sure you set up your parent relationships if you haven't already. I'm not sure if it would help performance, but it's worth doing anyway :) hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

I'm sorry to have posted duff advice just now - I just checked my Nagios config here and I don't have active host checks set either. You're right, you shouldn't need active host checks set, as the host will get checked when the (active) ping service fails anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

My first thought is, are your VoIP phones in a gold CAR on the MPLS? While VoIP works fine in any QoS queue on a lightly loaded MPLS circuit, you'll get all kinds of jitter under load if not.

Pretty simple stuff, really -- if you want to keep a host check, you need to use one that *can* tell if the host is up or down. In your case, maybe check_smtp would work.

Yeah. Assuming you're using the default check-host-alive command, which pings hosts, that obviously won't work if you can't ever ping the host.

Yes. The documentation is at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/templatetricks.html You don't have to define a group - instead you can list the hosts in your service definition like so: host_name mail01,mail02,mail03,mail04 or you can use wildcards or regular expressions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Nagios is not the tool. Nagios can warn you about exceeding tresholds. But it will not have a clue why the treshold is exceeded.

Hausen) Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 21:09:08 +0200 Subject: Dependencies question Message-ID: <20070709190908.GB41541@hugo10.ka.punkt.de> Hi all! Foremost: I've searched the online manual and the FAQ. I have not searched the mailing list archives for an answer to my question. I apologise in advance, but I found it rather difficult to come up with keywords to search for. OK, here's the challenge: Imagine a couple of services or a couple of hosts, that are, well, coupled - by some device or dependency that itself cannot be monitored my Nagios. E.g. I want to monitor a couple of hosts connected to the same switch but the switch is not even accessable on Layer 3 or they are in some remote computing centre, but I cannot point at a single router on which they all depend. Yet they all depend on the hosting centre's "Internet connection". Or imagine virtual web servers. For each of them there are chances that it fails individually. Probably just because someone messes up an update of the content. OTOH all of them may fail at once, because the database server fails. OK, I can monitor the database server. Now they fail because the web server itself gets too loaded. Monitor the web server's CPU. Possibly. Now they fail because ... I simply cannot think of everything in advance. Now, what's the problem? Our alarm system sends messages to the pagers of the staff on duty. Which costs money. Not much, but tiny amounts add up. So, what I'd like to implement is this policy: "Here's a group of , i.e. hosts or services. If any number of them fails, just send a notification for the first one. I will look at the Nagios status page anyway and probably something else connecting them in some way failed." Is this possible? From reading the docs it seems to me like dependencies form a directed graph and circles are probably a bad thing. And they do not solve the problem. You would need to have every service in the group depend on every other one. I have not used event handlers or other advanced mechanisms, yet. So: I think that someone else must have faced the same problem before - is there any "best practice" document, if the above policy can be implemented at all?

Have you seen check_cluster? http://nagios.manubulon.com/traduction/docs14en/clusters.html Does your network utilize load balancers? If so, consider monitoring the VIP instead of or in addition to the individual hosts behind the LB. When it comes to monitoring stuff across the WAN, I've found the best approach is to move the monitoring server (Nagios) as close to the monitored hosts as possible. This will help eliminate your multi-path to the data center problem and also eliminate the phenonmenon I refer to as "monitoring the internet" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Message-ID: <6207f7d90707091357q572a5a5qe03db171a3a2b50d@mail.gmail.com> Hello, {snip} http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=55&expand=false&showdesc=true The most probable cause of this is that you do not have the gd library and/or its required libraries (i.e. libpng, libjpeg, and zlib). If you do have the libraries installed on your system, the configure script may not have properly detected them before you compiled the CGIs. Here's what you can do to solve the issue: Install the gd, png, jpeg, and zlib libraries on your system. You will also have to install the gd-devel, png-devel, jpeg-devel, and zlib-devel libraries. If you want RPMs for these libraries, try searching rpmfind.net for the following libraries: libgd libgd-devel libpng libpng-devel libjpeg libjpeg-devel zlib zlib-devel {end-snip} I have Nagios running on FreeBSD 6.2 . How do I add the missing libraries ? I cannot find them in the ports collection.

As many of you surely know, Nagios lists partnering products on its Web site. I happen to work for Servprise, which makes the WebReboot line of products listed there. I am currently leading up a development effort to provide Nagios integration with both the small business and enterprise product line. While I have an idea of what we'd like to see, I'd like to see what others in the community may be interested in. Right now, we have the following planned: - Ability to check host power status (up and down) - Ability to detect reboot cycles via flap detection - Ability to check host temperature (enterprise only, since this will be done through our product and not the BIOS) Corrective actions for any of the above, as well as any of the standard service/host failures: - Turn host on - Turn host off - Reboot host If anyone can think of anything else they would like to see, please let me know. This will be a work in progress, but we should have a development status page up on http://dev.servprise.com/ soon. The developer blog there will keep people up to date. The enterprise plugin will either be GPL'd or ASL'd/BSD'd and likely implemented in Python. The small business one presents some technical problems due to its command structure, but we'll work something out. We do have a Java API for it, but that doesn't look like it fits in with the Nagios model terribly well. Anyway, any comments would be much appreciated.

After scheduling a HOSt downtime either from CGI of echo-to-nagios.cmd everything is ok. But after, if I either: - restart nagios - or submit a further host-downtime Nagios crashes with a SEGFAULT. The only workaround to get nagios running again, is to delete the lines from downtime.dat (which have been added correctly). The worst thin on my problem is, that this behaviour can be reproduced every time on the production system, but I've not been able to reproduce it on a test-system with exactly the same versions. Since it's not possible to do very excessive debugging on the production system, the following gdb-trace is all I have: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Run the command (plugin) in a terminal window , and the value you get after the | will be the value you need to pickup in the ncfg file. graph_perf_regex = "expression goes here" Service name is important too, it has to match the service name in the defined service. There is a lot of reading to do on expression, unfortunately I don't have any ncfg files for the CPU Load, and it is a lot of work to create them. After a lot of work and also help from here, I got this to work for disk space: #The out put looked like this: | 'c:\ Used Space'=2.44Gb;3.55;3.75;0.00;3.95 #And the ncfg file: define ngraph { graph_legend Used Space graph_perf_regex Used Space=([0-9]*\.[0-9]*) graph_value DiskUsed hide yes rrd_color 00a000 rrd_plottype AREA service_name Disk-C } Hope this helps. - Palle -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Jeff Shumard - DefenseWeb Technologies Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 1:15 PM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Graph Issue I have installed and configured Nagios Graph and so far have graphs being generated for Load on our Linux hosts with out problems.

The last check I'm trying to convert is the ability to monitor all automatic Windows services and notify if any of those are not running. On the Nagios server side I'm using version 1.4.9 of check_nt. If I run the following command: check_nt -H -v SERVICESTATE -p 12489 -s -l CheckAll I get a lot of services listed. All of them are shown as stopped and check_nt returns an error indicating that it thinks there's something wrong. When I check the status on those services (the ones I can easily identify by short name) I see that they're all stopped because they're disabled. According to the Wiki entry for CheckAll as a SERVICESTATE option, it is supposed to Check to see that all services set to auto-start are started and all set to disabled are not started. I actually don't care about disabled services being stopped, but according to this description, NSClient++ should notice it. However, it looks like it's not correctly noticing that these service are stopped because they're disabled. I'm thinking that the only way I might be able to do this would be to enumerate all Windows services that should be automatic (making for one huge command line). Besides being a big pain, this would mean that I'd miss any new services. Am I doing something wrong?

The reason for this is that it would be rather difficult, if not impossible, to negate the text itself- what is the opposite of "A"? While the status text may seem to be one of a set number of options (UNKNOWN, OK, WARNING, CRITICAL) in reality it is just a bunch of text that is whatever the author of the plugin wanted it to be, and therefore has no real "negative" ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service Inc. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7250 x293 ----------------------------------------------- > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > --- > This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express > Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take > control of your XML.

What about writing a custom plugin that uses this GPL prog to return the warning/critical/ok/pending values? https://roguedetect.bountysource.com/ >From the website: Rogue Detect sends DHCPDISCOVER packets to the network and listens for DHCPservers to respond and checks responses against authorized dhcp servers. It???s written in Perl. By default it supports sending reports to syslog, email, standard out or a customer script of your chosing. Each reporting method has it???s own independent reporting level. Their wiki is here: https://roguedetect.bountysource.com/wiki notes at the bottom of the wiki: "Sending a DHCPDISCOVER packet causes any DHCPSERVERS listning to allocate an IP address for a few seconds, while they wait for the detector to ACKtheir offer. Since we never do send an ACK, the IP is not allocated to us. Hence, it should be ok to run this on the network.. but do so at your OWN RISK!! This package is nice in that you do not have to have a clear view of the network to run it (ie, it works behind a switch). You DO have to be within broadcast range, which usually means on the same subnet as the DHCP server. In some cases scaning port 68 (67?) on every machine may be the better answer to finding dhcp servers, but with this program, as apposed to a passive one like snort, you do not have to be able to see traffic not destined for you." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That sounds very reasonable; there's always the possibility that you won't see, within your run time threshold, offers from a rouge server due to race conditions or other crud (slow networks, etc.). Of course, then you have a lot of proactive bogus DHCP Client activity coming from your Nagios system. The best solution of course, but not always the most feasible, is a SPAN port in your core: Simply: $ sudo tcpdump -n -e -vvv 'src port bootps && !ether src 0:50:da:28:37:62' Replace the MAC with your know DHCP server. Matches are rouge.

What nameserver are you going to be testing? -A indicates that you'll be checking the nameserver hosting the domain. That won't tell you if your domain has been hijacked though. The DNS server hosting the domain will always answer that it is authoritative, no matter if the rest of the Internet thinks it is or not. Any other nameserver you test will fail since you're requiring Authority. If you're going to test a recursive nameserver, use -a instead. Presumably you're more interested in the nameservers that the rest of the world thinks are authoritative. You'd probably want to use check_dig against a recursive nameserver (or the root servers) to verify that the NS records they're reporting are accurate. Something like check_dig -T ns -H recursiveserver.yourdomain.foo -l yourdomain.foo -a nameserver.yourdomain.foo You should, of course, perform any research necessary to determine if the above tests against the nameservers (particularly the root nameservers) are prohibited before implementing it. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Message-ID: <1BAD86FA20172C449C56A8E5D51977AB05DAEB85@pimel-mx1.ozpacnet.office.pacific.net.au> Indeed. Looking at the source of dhcpdetector.pl (https://svn.bountysource.com/roguedetect/trunk/dhcpdetector.pl) it shouldn't be too hard to modify it into a nagios plugin (trivial even). The relevant code block: sub send_log { my $severity = shift @_; my $message = shift @_; if (!$message) { $message = 'ERROR: No Message Recieved, logging failure'; } # If the above conditions are met and # the send_msg is set then go ahead and # log it using the specified log mojo if ($syslog_level >= $severity) { syslog('LOG_INFO',$message); } if ($email_level >= $severity) { send_mail($alert_email,"[RogueDetect] Log Report",$message); } if ($page_level >= $severity) { send_mail($page_email,"RogueDetect Failure!",$message); } if ($print_level >= $severity) { print $message . "\n"; } Should be fairly easy to hook into this, print the correct message and set an exit code from here.... ________________________________ From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Rogelio Bastardo Sent: Wednesday, 11 July 2007 4:12 AM To: Hari Sekhon Cc: Nagios Users mailinglist Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] using Nagios to detect rogue DHCP servers? requires a whole new plugin written from scratch, I haven't seen a tcpdump like plugin. Therefore much more difficult and more time required, as well as more computationally intensive to watch all traffic for another dhcpoffer, when actually you'll get the same result. What about writing a custom plugin that uses this GPL prog to return the warning/critical/ok/pending values? https://roguedetect.bountysource.com/ From the website: Rogue Detect sends DHCPDISCOVER packets to the network and listens for DHCP servers to respond and checks responses against authorized dhcp servers. It???s written in Perl. By default it supports sending reports to syslog, email, standard out or a customer script of your chosing. Each reporting method has it???s own independent reporting level. Their wiki is here: https://roguedetect.bountysource.com/wiki notes at the bottom of the wiki: "Sending a DHCPDISCOVER packet causes any DHCPSERVERS listning to allocate an IP address for a few seconds, while they wait for the detector to ACK their offer. Since we never do send an ACK, the IP is not allocated to us. Hence, it should be ok to run this on the network.. but do so at your OWN RISK!! This package is nice in that you do not have to have a clear view of the network to run it (ie, it works behind a switch). You DO have to be within broadcast range, which usually means on the same subnet as the DHCP server. In some cases scaning port 68 (67?) on every machine may be the better answer to finding dhcp servers, but with this program, as apposed to a passive one like snort, you do not have to be able to see traffic not destined for you." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am not personally going to __manually__ check for rogue dhcp servers, don't have the time for that. I check my dhcp servers anyway, if I get an extra offer, an alarm is raised. This is automatic, has no extra overhead as I check my dhcp servers anyway as part of my monitoring. I have never seen a dhcpoffer being missed, but at the very least I run the check every 3 minutes so you're not going to get away with it here for more than that. I think the wrapper to check_dhcp is quick and effective with no overhead. The best solution would be to extend the check_dhcp plugin, get into the C and add the functionality. Maybe if it's not done in the future I will come back and do it. Until then, the wrapper does exactly what I need. -h Hari Sekhon Brian A.

In relation to nagios though, the right thing to do is to extend the functionality of check_dhcp to do this, so that you do not incur extra overhead, network traffic or checks. It could do the whole thing, get your C skills out if you have the time. I personally wouldn't want to slap a second check on just for this which it can be done in one check if you are already checking your dhcp server(s). -h Hari Sekhon Rogelio Bastardo wrote: > > > requires a whole new plugin written from scratch, I haven't seen a > tcpdump like plugin.

You'll want to add a host/service check that correctly determines if your internet access is up or down, then make that host the parent for your other hosts. To suppress notifications for hosts behind the parent when it's down, disable unreachable notifications for those hosts.

In nagiosgraph.conf there is a "debug" configuration. Set this to 5 and watch the log output. You may be catching the wrong data in your graph. In this case, update the regex in the "map" config file. -Kurt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Message-ID: <4694E99C.9040705@gridshield.net> The way I have done this is to run NRPE on the machine that should be the DHCP server, with this command defined: command[check_ndhcp]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/negate /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dhcp -i eth0 Something similar may work for you if your DHCP server is on a Linux box. This just negates the normal check_dhcp command, so that if no offer is received (on the interface serving DHCP, it should not be), it returns with an OK status.

The only downside is that it makes an extra check but this may be in fact what you want. The only limitation of this method is that it won't work if you have 2 dhcp servers on the network with non-overlapping pools for redundancy. I use a variable to specify the number of dhcp servers and warn if more than that number of offers are received. If the right dhcp server doesn't respond then it does critical anyway when using the -s switch so there is no opportunity for your dhcp server to fall off and another to silently take it's place by maintaining the correct number of offers. -h Hari Sekhon Marc DeTrano wrote: > The way I have done this is to run NRPE on the machine that should be > the DHCP server, with this command defined: > > command[check_ndhcp]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/negate > /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dhcp -i eth0 > > Something similar may work for you if your DHCP server is on a Linux > box.

Both types have many of the same services I am monitoring with nagios. I want notifications sent to different contact groups based on whether its a prod or dev system. I was hoping that if I use a two host definitions that each specify a different contact group that would be sufficient. This seems to work for host notifications (host up, host down, etc.) but doesn't effect services. It seems you have to specify a contact_group for services as well and since I use the same service checks for prod and dev hosts I can't understand how to make it work in this fashion. At this point it seems I would have to define all the services twice each with different contact group. That can't be right. If I am approaching this wrong please let me know of a better way.

I can't say I've ever tried it (so forgive me if I'm barking up the wrong tree), but I guess you could you do something clever with an event handler on the service which monitors the internet connection. The event handler could submit a command to Nagios to disable notifications when the internet connection goes down and re-enable them when it comes up.

For trending i use pnp. The plugin works fine except for one server. I monitor all mountpoints in one check and the problem is that the performance-data gets cut off so that only 2 of 7 mountpoints are shown in pnp. The performance-data is truncated in the cgi also. But if i run the plugin in the shell the output of the performance-data is complete. I thought that there is probably limited memory for perf-data but all other server produce much more output than this server. Does anyone else have this problem or can anybody give me some advice?

The negative effect of this was, because the server now resides in a totally different lan segment, not only that I had to change the whole parent relations of hosts to cater for the changed routing. Even worse, was that the Nagios server no longer can access about half its monitored hosts and services via ports 22 and 5666 tcp. If the firewalls at least had left me with open port 22 I could have changed all my nrpe checks to something like check_by_ssh!login!rsa_key!/remote/path/to/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_as_usual I thought about tunneling the lost remote 22 ports by e.g. ssh local port forwarding via the host that previously hosted my Nagios server. But this all seems too contrived and error prone to me. So I thought about disabling active and passive checks as well as notifications by providing a template that would have active_checks_enabled, and notifications_enabled set to 0 and which now will be use-d by all the hosts that are affected. This should reduce the required config changes to a minimum. I now wonder, before I set the global notifications_enabled in my nagios.cfg to 1, if it would suffice to disable the dozens of *_hosts.cfg files (I separeted my config by cfg_dir) merely in the manner I described, to also make Nagios skip running any checks for the services of these hosts? So, has a disabled host automatically also disabled all its service checks, and hence notifications?

However, if performance is your issue, then since Nagios 2 the daemon has written a cache file containing pre-processed configuration data to a temporary file as it runs. The CGIs can read this for massive performance improvements - I've already made my downtime_sched utility use this file if available and things are much better. As far as Nagios itself goes, once it has read in the config file, then it holds the config in memory so theres no performance gain regardless.

It seems relevant enough...) I'm setting up nagios, and wish to use cacti to create historical/trend graphs of some nagios service checks. Based on several suggestions that I found around the web, I installed NagiosGraph to create RRD files based on the service-perfdata file. This seems to be working fine. Except: NagiosGraph seems to want to only have the "AVERAGE" CF in the RRD files that it creates. The other basic ones (MAX/MIN/LAST) are missing. Which is rather a pain, since I'd like to use them in some cases. Which leads to these questions: - Is there a way to "fix" nagiosgraph so that it creates these CF's? Just a pointer to docs or something would be enough to get me going... - Is there a better tool than nagiosgraph for doing what I'm doing (creating RRD files from service-perfdata files), especially given that I'm not particularly interested in nagiosgraph's actual graphing ability?

I don't know if it's better or would make your problem any easier to solve, but PNP is probably worth looking at. http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp_en I find it very easy to install and use, but I've not yet tried graphing max/min rather than the default average with it.

Too much trouble though, particularly since our users are > forever clicking 'disable checks' when they actually mean 'disable > alerts' or 'acknowledge'. It is an issue in the following situation: you have a backup aggregator. All the collectors send results to both the primary and backup. The backup aggregator watches the primary aggregator. If the primary goes down it starts sending out notifications. In this case all the acked problems on the primary aggregator will be sent out when the backup takes over. The idea I'm toying with is to have cgi.cfg point to a different main_config_file. This main_config_file will be identical to the real main_config_file but have a different command_file. There will be a process listening on this command_file that will write the result to the real command_file and also forwards it to a daemon listening on the backup aggregator. This daemon will write to the command_file on the backup. Viola', all commands from the CGIs automatically get sent to the backup aggregator. -- Mark Wagner System Administrator, UW Medicine IT Services 206-616-6119 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

If you're just trying to access as you've indicated above, it's not surprising that you're seeing the error. You're probably not allowing DirectoryIndex (and you don't want to). What happens if you click one of the nagios links in the left pane of http://localhost/nagios? If you need further help, post the error from the web log, your OS version and verify that you do not have SELinux enabled or that you have given proper security context to the nagios CGI's. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

In any event, there's nothing at all in the /etc (or ~nagios/etc) directory that would explain why you're missing those CGI's but there is a FAQ that does.

In any event, there's nothing at all in the /etc (or ~nagios/etc) directory that would explain why you're missing those CGI's but there is a FAQ that does. It happens often enough to be easily recognizable.

If the CGIs are there, but the links don't work, you really need to follow Marc's advice and look in your webserver log for the reason they aren't working when you try to access them. Without that information, anything anyone on this list does to help you troubleshoot this is pure guesswork. If there's nothing in the logs regarding those scripts, then something more basic is wrong -- verify that the links you're clicking on point where they should. Without basic information like what the links you're clicking on point to, and what happens on your webserver when you click them, it's nearly impossible to say what your problem might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

It seems relevant enough...) I'm setting up nagios, and wish to use cacti to create historical/trend graphs of some nagios service checks. Based on several suggestions that I found around the web, I installed NagiosGraph to create RRD files based on the service-perfdata file. This seems to be working fine. Except: NagiosGraph seems to want to only have the "AVERAGE" CF in the RRD files that it creates. The other basic ones (MAX/MIN/LAST) are missing. Which is rather a pain, since I'd like to use them in some cases. Which leads to these questions: - Is there a way to "fix" nagiosgraph so that it creates these CF's? Just a pointer to docs or something would be enough to get me going... - Is there a better tool than nagiosgraph for doing what I'm doing (creating RRD files from service-perfdata files), especially given that I'm not particularly interested in nagiosgraph's actual graphing ability?

I don't know if it's better or would make your problem any easier to solve, but PNP is probably worth looking at. http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp_en I find it very easy to install and use, but I've not yet tried graphing max/min rather than the default average with it.

Too much trouble though, particularly since our users are > forever clicking 'disable checks' when they actually mean 'disable > alerts' or 'acknowledge'. It is an issue in the following situation: you have a backup aggregator. All the collectors send results to both the primary and backup. The backup aggregator watches the primary aggregator. If the primary goes down it starts sending out notifications. In this case all the acked problems on the primary aggregator will be sent out when the backup takes over. The idea I'm toying with is to have cgi.cfg point to a different main_config_file. This main_config_file will be identical to the real main_config_file but have a different command_file. There will be a process listening on this command_file that will write the result to the real command_file and also forwards it to a daemon listening on the backup aggregator. This daemon will write to the command_file on the backup. Viola', all commands from the CGIs automatically get sent to the backup aggregator. -- Mark Wagner System Administrator, UW Medicine IT Services 206-616-6119 ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2007 16:39:08 -0400 From: Robert Fitzpatrick Subject: [Nagios-users] checking file status To: Nagios Message-ID: <1184359148.21738.12.camel at columbus.webtent.org> Content-Type: text/plain We'd like to monitor the status of our huge file share and be notified of any major changes if a rogue employee were to empty or delete the files.

If you need further help, post the error from the web log, your OS version and verify that you do not have SELinux enabled or that you have given proper security context to the nagios CGI's. -- Marc ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2007 00:08:03 -0400 From: jmurray at whoi.edu Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] not able to access http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/ To: Gagandeep Singh Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <1184386083.46984c239c6b8 at webmail.whoi.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 perhaps the user you are logged in as is not allowed in the cgi.cfg file?

When I was installing nagios server and plugins ./configure never complained about anything. Everything went smooth. But somebody told me on irc that there is some stanza directory thats should be in /etc dir. I dont have such directory.

I have the ESX servers monitored in nagios, however i can never be sure which of the servers a particular Guest OS is running on so i can hardly use the ESX servers as parents for my guest OS's. The only option i can think of is to consider each Guest OS as a real machine and have the parent be the switch to which it is connected (just as i would otherwise). Anyone who has experience with such a setup (or similiar) and the pros or cons, or perhaps alternative setup suggestions.

Based on that config, only the wan group would receive notifications. Whatever's causing it isn't in this part of the config. Assuming that this really is the current config, and your running Nagios isn't using something else (with is always worth a restart to verify), I'd check the "wan" group to make sure it's not inheriting something from another group, and that there are no escalations active for this service that might be kicking in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Create an escalation for the service that you want to have this option enabled for and set the escalation_options to say CRITICAL and set the group to notify for that state. Do the same for other states/group combos that you want for that service. If you need this done for every notification, set the first_notification to 1 and last_notification to 0. What this will allow you to do is still have each person with the capability of receiving any kind of notification. This might be useful if you need to segment this person's notification criteria by state based on host/service.

Hi, If you build Nagios from ports, it will automatically include all of these dependencies. Installing Nagios via "pkg_add -r nagios" works equally well.

Not all plugins support perfdata. I believe most, if not all, of the standard plugins from nagios-plugins do but contrib or plugins obtained from other sources might not. Check the --help for the plugins in question to see if it's a flag you need to pass. > I am trying to use nagiosgraph, but it seems only services that have > perfdata output can be processed.

It's not the case that you need plugins to support perfdata to use nagiosgraph with them.

This is a really awkward one. What we do here is to first define the guests as individual hosts for monitoring, although we don't monitor CPU or Memory on them as the standard plugins don't give meaningful data under vmware. Next we're using the check_esx2 plugin on the servers in the farm which will alert for excessing virtual CPU, Ready, and Memory usage. Finally, we run a script regularly (daily) which probes the vmware server and reconfigured the parent/child relationships for the vhosts vs the esx servers. Not ideal - particularly when you have automigration enabled - but better than nothing. Now we're going to ESX3 I'm considering defining a dummy object in Nagios for the whole ESX farm. The guests become children of the ESX Farm object, and the ESX farm object is a child of *all* the ESX servers. The ESX farm host check is defined using check_summary over the ESX servers, and contains another check_summary check for its only service, although it could also hold the SNMP traps from the VirtualCentre server (we have this as a separate Nagios object). This setup will make more sense under ESX3, there the VC can automatically restart a guest on a new ESX server if the ESX server currently hosting it goes down.

For most of those hosts, we only need to know if they respond to a ping. Since I've read that enabling "active host checks" may cause performance problems, I made an "ICMP" service and assigned each server to it. This works great save for one problem: If a host fails to respond to the ICMP service check, it instantly jumps to the host check (which is also a ping) and times out after 1 1/2 minutes (or 10 host check pings with 10 second timeouts). What I need is for it to behave like a standard service check, that is to obey by the rules of the retry_interval. Is this possible?

There is no contacts.cfg nor is there an Objects directory created. bigger.cfg and mimimal.cfg are example files that contain _all_ the object directives (contact, host, services, etc). You can split each object type out into its own file if you like but it's not necessary. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Is this possible? It is behaving like a standard nagios-2 service check. If any service on a host returns a non-OK result, the host is checked immediately. If the host check fails, it goes critical immediately. I would advise disabling host checks for those ping-only hosts to get the behavior you desire. Nagios-3 introduces the behavior you are looking for. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Just wanted to make you aware of a simple way of getting SMS alerting from your Nagios system. For Opsview, we've been working with a company called AQL (http://aql.com) who provide an SMS gateway. We've been speaking to their technical guys and David Precious, a perl developer who has written SMS::AQL (http://search.cpan.org/dist/SMS- AQL/), to get really easy communication with AQL's systems. You can read about it on our blog site: http://altinity.blogs.com/ dotorg/2007/07/sms-alerting-vi.html There's also a script to download, which can then provide you with the mechanism to send your alerts via AQL.

It will send a notification immediately as necessary. However, your notification program can be anything at all so it's a fine place to create your own notification logic via scripting. Some people have already done the work for you ;) I don't use it but NAN (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Notifications.35.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1 [p_view]=309) seems to be just what you're looking for. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

At least I would recommend against it. I would use the firefox plugin to babysit such a volatile environment. But that is just me. (In fact I would not babysit such a darn thing but go in and do some serious troubleshooting with a nice submachinegun. ;) You could always setup something like mailman and let it do the digests for you. Or send them to a dummy email box, parse them with procmail and use a nice parser to process the procmail log to make your digest for you.

The traffic goes through our WAN and all probes seem to be working fine except the check_logfiles; Have noticed that during the time applications are used, check_logfiles gets timed out. I have set the timeout argument to 420 yet in the notification email it says that NRPE timed-out after 10 seconds. /opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_logfiles -t 420 -f /home/nrpe/config/myconfig.conf Running it locally on the host works fine! I have checked the network and there is no indication of latency; all other probes are working fine. Any help is appreciated!

I've got nagios 2.5 up and running, installed from the RPMs in opensuse 10.2. I've enabled the service-perfdata options, and am sending service perfdata to a file. I'm using nagiosgraph, called via the service_perfdata_file_processing_command, to process the service-perfdata file into RRD files. All seems to be working fine, for the most part. Except for one little thing... Nagiosgraph is able to parse and insert the data in these lines: 1184788008||xenhost3.wdc.studentuniverse.com||CPU Load||Load : 0.01 0.06 0.06 : OK|| 1184788012||xenhost11.wdc.studentuniverse.com||CPU Load||Load : 0.00 0.00 0.00 : OK|| 1184788017||xenhost4.wdc.studentuniverse.com||CPU Load||Load : 0.04 0.03 0.00 : OK|| But it doesn't do anything at all with this one: 1184788284||xenhost0.wdc.studentuniverse.com||CPU Load||Load : 0.23 0.24 0.21 : OK|| No RRD file is created, no data is inserted, etc. The extra strange thing is that this _was_ working. I did a restart of the server yesterday afternoon, and the files seem to have stopped updating after that restart. All of these perfdata lines are a result of the same service in my service configuration (the machines are in a single hostgroup, and only one check is set up for that hostgroup). The nagiosgraph map definition is this: # Service type: cpu-load # output:Load : 0.01 0.01 0.00 : OK /output:Load.*?([.0-9]+).*?([.0-9]+).*?([.0-9]+).*/ and push @s, [ 'cpu-load', [ '1minute', GAUGE, $1 ], [ '5minute', GAUGE, $2 ], [ '15minute', GAUGE, $3 ] ]; The nagiosgraph.log doesn't show me anything about the skipped lines... Anyone have any ideas why this wouldn't be working right? What could restarting the server have broken? Is this nagios being funky, or nagiosgraph, or RRDTool, or something else?

Try: "[^s]connected" Not an "s" immediately before connected. Unless it is start of line. We may need more details. Or if there is a space, search like (add a space before it): -r " connected" Jeremy C.

I have spent a lot of time cleaning it up, and templating out a bunch of things. For instance, to create a new host, you simply add 2 lines in a new file - the template to use, and the hostname. Based on the template you use, it is assigned hostgroups and based on the hostgroups, it is assigned service checks. It works great for us. A little example: define host{ use generic-host-ssl host_name www.ssldomain.com } This assigned the host www.ssldomain.com to the hostgroup SSLDomains, along with the defaults for that domain. SSLDomains get tested for "HTTP by NAME" and "SSL Cert" - the former is obvious, and the second checks for existence off a SSL cert, and Crits if it is expired or will expire soon, warns if it expires in the next month, and says OK otherwise. What I would like to do, is setup a service dependency so that I am not warned about a missing SSL cert, if HTTP is down. Looking through the docs, it appears that the following MAY work: define servicedependency{ hostgroup_name SSLDomain service_description HTTP by NAME dependent_hostgroup_name SSLDomain dependent_service_description SSL Cert execution_failure_criteria n notification_failure_criteria c,w,u } Looking at the documentation, though, this might not work.... It appears that in this case the SSL Cert warnings will not go down if ANY of the HTTP by NAMES are down.... Is this the case? Any easy ways to accomplish this?

You posted a timeout for check_logfiles and the above looks correct. Did you also pass an increased timeout to check_nrpe that I expect is calling check_logfiles on the remote machine? After increasing the timeout for check_nrpe, did you restart or reload nagios? If so, please post the service definition, command definition as well as example plugin output (or nagios.log entry) when it fails. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Any idea? Thanks for your atention!!. That should work. Did you reload nagios after making the change? Verify that you do not have more than one nagios process running and/or escalations that may be causing re-notification.

I have spent a lot of time cleaning it up, and templating out a bunch of things. For instance, to create a new host, you simply add 2 lines in a new file - the template to use, and the hostname. Based on the template you use, it is assigned hostgroups and based on the hostgroups, it is assigned service checks. It works great for us. A little example: define host{ use generic-host-ssl host_name www.ssldomain.com } This assigned the host www.ssldomain.com to the hostgroup SSLDomains, along with the defaults for that domain. SSLDomains get tested for "HTTP by NAME" and "SSL Cert" - the former is obvious, and the second checks for existence off a SSL cert, and Crits if it is expired or will expire soon, warns if it expires in the next month, and says OK otherwise. What I would like to do, is setup a service dependency so that I am not warned about a missing SSL cert, if HTTP is down. Looking through the docs, it appears that the following MAY work: define servicedependency{ hostgroup_name SSLDomain service_description HTTP by NAME dependent_hostgroup_name SSLDomain dependent_service_description SSL Cert execution_failure_criteria n notification_failure_criteria c,w,u } Looking at the documentation, though, this might not work.... It appears that in this case the SSL Cert warnings will not go down if ANY of the HTTP by NAMES are down.... Is this the case? Any easy ways to accomplish this?

At the same time, open up a terminal window (xterm etc) and do a tail -f /var/log/apache/error.log (or wherever your apache error logs are). This will show you in realtime where you are going wrong. Also it would help if you could post the relevant portions of the error log (not the whole file) along with your post. Reposting the same problem seldom helps, our crystal balls can only see so much.

Or is it possible to configure the device to have an ip address? If not, you will need to get creative. Maybe create some kind of direct serial or usb connection between the nagios monitoring server and the monitored hardware.

Plugins can reside anywhere you want to put them. Just make sure that the permissions on them are correct for the Nagios user to run them, and that you specify the location correctly in your command definition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Yes, sure. 126 means that the file does not exist in the path that you've specified in the command{} definition. Without any specific detail, I'm going to guess that your command definition for your new plugin uses the $USER1$ macro for the path, which points to /usr/lib/nagios/plugin in resource.cfg. You can either create a new $USERx$ macro there, $USER2$ for example, pointing to your custom path and use that in the command{} definition for your new plugin, or, you can specify the full path in the command_line for the command{} definition instead of using the $USERx$ macros. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#command -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

I've installed Nagios on CentOS using the following page http://www.maxsworld.org/index.php/how-tos/nagios and been through the permissions sections here http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html I have two problems now - the first one is with the check_nt command. I have installed the NS Client on the server. The server has an ISA Firewall on there and I've allowed the connections and am monitoring the traffic. I've configured the host, services and everything else and they show up in the Nagios web interface fine. However whenever a check is done, I get the error Permission Denied in the web interface. No actual traffic is sent to the server and Nagios is not trying to connect to the NS Client on the server (Firewall logs show no connections).

That would definitely point to xinetd being the issue as opposed to NRPE. Verify that you don't have any connection limitations in xinetd. Check your system log files for errors from xinetd related to this check. When this error occurs, run the check from the command line as the nagios user exactly as you have it defined in the command{} definition, substituting in values for all appropriate macros.

Yes, make sure that the check_nrpe command definition you've specified is written such that it'll work the with '-t 240' at the end ;) If that command{} definition didn't specify a timeout value previously then I'm confident that is your resolution. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I've installed Nagios on CentOS using the following page http://www.maxsworld.org/index.php/how-tos/nagios and been through the permissions sections here http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/commandfile.html I have two problems now - the first one is with the check_nt command. I have installed the NS Client on the server. The server has an ISA Firewall on there and I've allowed the connections and am monitoring the traffic. I've configured the host, services and everything else and they show up in the Nagios web interface fine. However whenever a check is done, I get the error Permission Denied in the web interface. No actual traffic is sent to the server and Nagios is not trying to connect to the NS Client on the server (Firewall logs show no connections). If I try to run the command from the linux server command line I get the results back. I've also done an 'su nagios' and run the command from that user account and it again works fine.

The default NagiosGrapher setup thus creates very impressive graphics with limited value :-) When the load (1, 5, 15 min) is 1, 1, 1, the graph should show you the color for 1 min from 0 to 1, then 5min color from 1 to 2, and 15min color from 2 to three. If you want a better readable graph, I suggest simply painting three line graphs of different color for the different load values.

That's a good sign and definitely narrows down what the issue could be. To be clear, can you provide the entire output from the unsuccessful check from nagios.log? As far as what else to check, are you certain that $USER1$ is /usr/lib/nagios/plugins and that $HOSTADDRESS$ is 192.168.100.20? It might be helpful to see the actual command that nagios is running by changing the command{} definition to be -- command_line echo "$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$" It won't actually run check_nt but you'll see what nagios would be doing. Did you change this check from some other configuration? I'd restart nagios either way and while doing so, verify that you don't have multiple nagios processes running. > > The second problem I have is when I try to change the scheduled time for > the next check on a service - the error I get is: > > > > Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd'! > > The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, > and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands. > > An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing. Sounds like you either haven't completely followed the instructions on enabling external commands or that you have SELinux or some other permissions issue preventing the web server from accessing that file. You should verify that your configuration matches the nagios documentation for enabling external commands (using your rpm specific paths of course) and that you've restarted your web server if you changed it's group membership. -- Marc p.s. please always use non-html/rich text messages when sending to support lists.

None of the check_nt commands I have are running successfully. All of them are failing with 'Permission denied' in the Status Information column of the web interface. 2. Nagios is running under the user 'nagios'. Output of the 'ps -A u' command: === nagios 30049 0.0 0.0 27384 1356 ? Ssl 18:57 0:00 /usr/bin/nagios === 3. nagios_user is nagios: === nagios_user=nagios nagios_group=nagios === I included the nagios_group bit as I thought the nagios group was actually nagiocmd. The permissions on the 'plugins' directory and all of the plugins were root.root, but are now as follows: === drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 19 12:02 cgi drwxr-xr-x 4 nagios nagiocmd 4096 Jul 19 12:02 plugins === After I changed them I restarted both Apache and Nagios but still getting the same error. 4. No avc messages in /var/log/messages so I assume SELinux isn't running. Happy to let somebody have a look around the server via SSH if they wish. Short of rebuilding the server I'm not sure what to do myself! As an aside I couldn't get Nagios running at first because it couldn't write the .pid file in /var/run. I changed the location of the .pid file to the /var/log/nagios and it worked fine. That also seemed to be permissions based even though I had given Nagios full access to the /var/run directory.

This looks like you, during testing perhaps, ran nagios as root. Some files created were left behind, still owned by root, so that Nagios can not recreate or modify them. Now, I don't know where Nagios uses temporary files, pid files, sockets for interprocess communication, or whatever, but I would start using strace now on the running nagios processes, and check the permissions of all files (and directories) Nagios accesses...

I have an issue with nagiosgraph plotting. When i start nagios, nagiosgraph starts out plotting great. The one problem i notice is that nagiosgraph is writing temporary files to /tmp and not removing the files. An example is below: snipet.... -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:13 nagiosyW4qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:13 nagioszW4qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:20 nagiosu34qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:20 nagiosj44qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:23 nagiosX74qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:23 nagiosY74qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:23 nagios474qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:25 nagiosc94qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:25 nagiosd94qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:25 nagiosE94qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:25 nagiosM94qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:26 nagiosb_4qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:27 nagios7_4qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 0 Jul 19 15:30 nagiosBd5qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 113 Jul 19 15:40 nagiosUo5qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 42 Jul 19 15:40 nagiosVo5qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 135 Jul 19 15:40 nagiosWo5qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 115 Jul 19 15:40 nagiosXo5qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 56 Jul 19 15:40 nagiosYo5qXU -rw------- 1 apache apache 55 Jul 19 15:40 nagiosZo5qXU snipet... When this does work, nagiosgraph writes the file and the file is then removed. The action above is sporadic. I believe this is what attributes to the sporadic plotting. I am using fruity as a front end thus the user and group apache. I have played with the variables "normal check interval in time units" and "maximum check attempts" currently set at 10 and 4, respectively. I have used 5 and 1 but get the same results. I feel like this is a tuning issue with nagiosgraph. If you look closely there are breaks in the graph: [image: Graph] I have this working on solaris9 with nagios version 2.9.

This looks like you, during testing perhaps, ran nagios as root. Some files created were left behind, still owned by root, so that Nagios can not recreate or modify them.

I'm using NRPE to monitor a remote server. The most part of the plugins works without problems, but check_backuppc returns the error "(No output returned from plugin)" in the Nagios web interface. The check_backuppc stanza in the Nagios configuration is the following: define service{ use remote-service host_name myremoteserver service_description BackupPC check_command check_nrpe!check_backuppc } If I execute from the shell "check_nrpe -H bakserver.blupixel.local -c check_backuppc" I correctly get the plugin's answer ("BACKUPPC WARNING - (5/7) failures").

Or is it possible to configure the device to have an ip address? If not, you will need to get creative. Maybe create some kind of direct serial or usb connection between the nagios monitoring server and the monitored hardware.

Can somebody point me in the direction of some docs on how to get Nagios to monitor remote systems over the internet?

Would it be as straightforward as installing the Windows client and redirecting the NS Client port at the gateway to the Windows client to allow Nagios to get the relevant data from the internal Windows bits and pieces.

Well, that's not what nagios is executing. Your command_line specifies '-a $ARG2$'. You do not pass an $ARG2$ to the command however so what nagios is really executing is -- /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H backuppc.foobar.local -c check_backuppc -a Does _that_ work?

Without knowing what you *can* reach to determine if a host is up, I couldn't say.

I'm using NRPE to monitor services on the remote servers. I wish to make the checks made by NRPE dependent with the NRPE service itself. I create a service to check the availability of the NRPE daemon on the remote host: define service{ use remote-service host_name bakserver.blupixel.local service_description NRPE check_command check_tcp!5666 } Now I wish to specify the dependency for all the checks made by NRPE, so if the NRPE daemon isn't available on the remote host, these checks will not executed at all (and the related notifications are not sent). I read on the Nagios documentation that this could be done with the following configuration: define service{ use remote-service host_name bakserver.blupixel.local service_description NRPE check_command check_tcp!5666 dependent_service_description nrpeservice1,nrpeservice2,nrpeservice3,nrpeservice4 execution_failure_criteria w,c } With this configuration, if the NRPE service is on warning or critical, the services "nrpeservice1, nrpeservice2, nrpeservice3, nrpeservice4" are not checked and their problems are not notificated. This is ok, but I wish to make a "vice versa" configuration. I wish to specify the dependence between the "NRPE" service and the "nrpeserviceX" in the "nrpeserviceX" stanzas, not in the "NRPE" service one. This because it will more fast to add new services, without modify the "NRPE" stanza. How can I do this? Thank you very much!

It won't be as comprehensive as a ping check because that service can fail and the box still be up but when your basic testing is limited you have to move higher up the stack. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I won't answer this question but rather point out that once you go to hostgroups the service dependency system of Nagios 2.x doesn't work well because the dependencies are not 1 to 1 but rather all to all. For hosts that use NRPE I have created a check-host-alive command that checks nrpe rather than just ping. -- Mark Wagner System Administrator, UW Medicine IT Services 206-616-6119 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

How do > I merge the two? There is no standard way but in my company we developed our own Perl daemon for gathering performance data from a Nagios pipe and caching it. A Cacti script connects to the daemon to get the data... You will need a good understanding of Cacti (to create the new templates and data input) and a bit of patience. The daemon doesn't have any configuration (yet) so all variables are hard-coded in the code. For example to change the data retention timeout (which is 120 seconds right now since our Nagios checks every minute and our Cacti is patched to poll at the same interval) you will have to change it in the cache_cleanup sub. The latest daemon code with some bugfixes is available here: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Misc.36.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp_view%5D=972 And the setup instructions are here: http://www.control-alt-del.org/code/NPDaemon/ Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

If you want to run it trough the network you will have to change NPDaemon; at line 44 you have: LocalAddr => '127.0.0.1', Change it to the IP of the interface you want it to listen on, or '0.0.0.0' to listen on all interfaces. There is to authentication so you may want to run it only on a secured network or with a local firewall restricting access. The cacti script has to be modified as well to connect to the right IP.

IF you want to pass arguments to the script you must modify the Startup.cfgof NC_NET in order for the Arguments to be accepted. on a simplest case, you can try to hardcode the script as a BAT file simply running a command like net start xyzservice to test the script call it using Check_nt/check_nc_net if the script runs from the command line, then you need to start worrying about getting the Event Handler running, For that, make sure to read the Nagios Documentation I thought the example was oK in it. WHen running the event handler make sure only to run it on the proper state, also make sure you do not have your retry interval to close together, sometimes it takes 20 sec or longer to restart a service. thus int he check_nt command make sure to have long enough timeouts for your command. If you get the problem down to just the event handler aspect of it, then you may want to repost with a new subject and description for just the event handler. good Luck, Tony (author of NC_NEt) On 7/20/07, Paul Broadwith wrote: > > Hi, > > I've moved from NSCLient++ to NC_NET and trying to get the external > scripts working. > > I've created an event_handler in the nagios config, I've created the > script and the script is run when the service goes up or down.

We are looking to setup a 2nd node in a different location for redundancy purposes. We are thinking of installing Nagios on it and then using rsync and some crons to update the slave server from our currently running server so we only have to add new hosts to a single box. Has anyone done this before and how does it work? Also, it would be nice to set it up somehow so that only our main server sends out the notifications when it's online or we'll get twice the notifications for same failed services, which is a no-no. The secondary server could send out the alerts if the primary fails numerous checks from the secondary for uptime. Hopefully I didn't confuse anyone.

Also, it would be nice Yes, it works just fine. Never had a problem and have been doing it for over 5 years. 2 central nagios machines and 5 collector machines (reporting to the two central boxen). Configs are updated and distributed hourly via rsync. We also store our configs in CVS so we have change history and accountability. For that matter, you could even use CVS over ssh to keep the remote boxen updated.

You could use an event handler to send the external command to globally enable notifications. When the primary box recovered that same event handler could disable notifications once again.

After the fact? That will be tough. Go over all of your log files. At least you know the timeframe. But going in after the load is low again can only give you partial information.

Actually. Whatever works for me. But anyone blocking ICMP but allowing SSH needs to re-evaluate the security policies. And if they only allow SSH selectively they can add the proper ICMP traffic as well. Hugo. -- hvdkooij at vanderkooij.org http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ This message is using 100% recycled electrons.

From the CLI all I can see reported is: TEMPERATURE is OK so I was thinking there could be a snmp variable to query and get 1 for status normal, 2 for warning or smth. I tried a couple of things like: cisco.ciscoMgmt.ciscoEnvMonMIB.ciscoEnvMonObjects.ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusTable.ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusEntry.ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState but all I did get was that the OID I got using the Cisco OID locator did not exist for my Cisco. Can anyone help ?

We are monitoring an external FTP server that is not in our control but that we depend on for a certain part of our business. After the FTP service failed for a short period of time on Saturday, the host was flagged "down" and has not come up since. I just found out that the other admin blocks ICMP. The FTP server works fine, though. I wonder if they have "misterious" problems with customers that have an MTU slightly less than 1500 somewhere in their path ;-)) Is there a way to tell Nagios not to bother checking if a host is alive with ICMP echo and just continue checking the service instead?

Sure... either simply remove the host check from the hosts definition, or - what I would do - use the ftp check as a host check also.

Something else ? Use the 'sudo' command. Alternately: write a short program in C, that is setuid root, that execs the init script.

Something else ? sudo and nagios eventhandler should do it. For security reasons, be as specific as possible in your sudo configuration, e.g.: [snip] nagios ALL=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/tomcat restart [snip] You'll have to look in nagios doco for eventhandlers, i've never used them. Another alternative, that we use here successfully, is to use monit from http://www.tildeslash.com/monit. Works like a charm and is a bit easier to setup than nagios eventhandlers (I think:). In monit you define simple criterias and subsequent actions, like restart. For example: memory out of bounds: restart, process missing: start, etc. Hope this helps /Lars ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Set up each user with two separate contact definitions, for example "Thomas-Glanzman-email" and "Thomas-Glanzmann-sms". Set up contact groups "admins-email" and "admins-sms". In the service definitions, specify whichever contact_groups are appropriate. I'm sure there a many other ways of doing this, but this is broadly-speaking how I do it. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Orphaned service checks are checks which have been executed and have been removed from the event queue, but have not had any results reported in a long time. Since no results have come back in for the service, it is not rescheduled in the event queue. This can cause service checks to stop being executed. Normally it is very rare for this to happen - it might happen if an external user or process killed off the process that was being used to execute a service check. If this option is enabled and Nagios finds that results for a particular service check have not come back, it will log an error message and reschedule the service check. If you start seeing service checks that never seem to get rescheduled, enable this option and see if you notice any log messages about orphaned services." ** -- James Michael Keller ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Try running your perfdata processing command (probably something involving insert.pl) manually, as the nagios user -- that may give you some helpful error messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The trick is to filter out anything you're not interested in. I rewrote the standard check_logs plugin slightly to allow the "-v" option in egrep. I can then run the plugin something like so: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logv -F /user/dbasedir/dbase.lg -O /tmp/dbase.lg.old -v -q \ ': \(-----\) Database dbase Options:|: \(-----\) Event Logger error 997:|: \(-----\) Registry error 5:|: \(452\) |: \(453\) |: \(562\) |: \(739\) |: \(742\) |: \(794\) |: \(2252\) |: \(2253\) |: \(2518\) |: \(3777\) |: \(3778\) |: \(3789\) |: \(5512\) |: \(5644\) |: \(5645\) |: \(7129\) |: \(8846\) |: \(8864\) |: \(8873) |: \(12699\) |: \(13199\) |\^\$| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun ' I only implemented this recently so it needs a little polishing still. I'd also rather get egrep to take its arguments line by line from a file, so I'll probably rewrite it one day when I get around to it. The "\^\$" thing I put there to make it ignore blank lines, but that doesn't seem to work quite right yet. The days of the week are there because Progress writes the date to the log file every day and I want to ignore that. If you read some of the documentation, it might tell you that an "I" in the log file means "Informational" implying that there might be a "W" for warnding "C" for critical and so on. Don't believe it! In a test database, I even deleted one of the extent files and the message in the log file still only had "I" in it. One really important thing to monitor in Progress is the size of the BI storage area. You can monitor the size of the extent file using standard plugins and make it alert when it gets to a size somewhat lower than whatever you've set the BI threshold parameter to in Progress. Other storage areas you can monitor (for size anyway) in a similar fashion. We went one step further and wrote a little Progress program to dump some of the virtual system tables to an ascii file. I use a simple script to read the file and return results back to Nagios using nsca. I monitor the number of licenses used with a simple script which reads the dbname.lic file. I've only been monitoring Progress OpenEdge 10 for a few weeks myself, so I haven't gotten around to publishing any of my plugins or scripts yet. Before doing so, I need to tidy them up a bit, as the way I do things using nsca is a bit non-standard but works for me. If you'd like them in their rough form anyway, give me a shout and I'll be happy to email them to you. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
