If the NAS is used by normal windows servers and can also be approached from the Nagios machine then check_disk_smb might work. But that is using a number of assumptions. check_disk on the linux machines will only work for locally attached drives. That is: what the OS sees as locally attached drives. Those could be on your SAN instead. (That is SAN and not NAS!) If this is a dire need for you you I think you can ask a consultant to to go over details with you by phone. At present you are very much witholding information one might need to get a good picture of your network. Hugo.

It gives you the capability of sending and receiving mail depending on configuration, but doesn't actually do the job - it's Exchange to Outlook if you like, or Domino Server to Notes. So what exactly do you type at a shell prompt to send a test mail? Can you pipe text into this command? What is your Nagios notify-*-by-email command? Are notifications enabled for the service/contact/timeperiod/globally? Can you see the command being called in the Nagios log? To be honest, the printf/mail combination works pretty well IMHO out of the box, though I added some HTML stripping as we format some of our custom plugin output to look nice on the console. I'd concentrate on getting the standard command to work, which it should quite happily with Postfix. ________________________________________________________________________ ___ Glynn Seymour Network Consultant BBS EMEA-IT UK Bayer plc, UK ________________________________________________________________________ __ Bayer plc is registered in England under number 935048.

Message-ID: <525450AD493E1E44B6B00A4A752D7DE5036E5CDA@courier.vc3.com> I recently installed Nagios 3.0a2 in a test environment and compiled with ePN and perlcache support. I'm trying to test to see if Nagios 3.x and Nagios QL and Perfparse can all get along without major modifications. I am also trying to clean up existing perl scripts to work under ePN . The first script loads clean with strict checking with warnings turned on. The script also seems to run fine using the mini_epn utility... appdev:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# perl -w /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rfinput -H 10.0.5.12 -55 dBm|rf-input=55;58;60;22;80 appdev:/usr/src/nagiosepn# ./mini_epn Enter file name: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_rfinput -H 10.0.5.12 embedded perl plugin return code and output was: 0 & '-52 dBm|rf-input=52;58;60;22;80' But I see garbage data in the Status Information field, although the proper value is appearing in the Performance Data field Current Status: OK (for 0d 8h 56m 40s) Status Information: ?BdBm Performance Data: rf-input=53;58;60;22;80 Does anyone have suggestions as to where the garbage data might be coming from or suggestions on the best way to sent the status information back to nagios?

Message-ID: <04F3233F47E2714CB7431AE913E57E7701E3D84E@IAD-WPRD-XCHB02.corp.verio.net> I have set up a distributed monitoring system per the Nagios documentation. I initially tested it out by having the distributed server monitor only 24 or so services on about 8 hosts. There didn't seem to be any problems. I then cranked it up to 427 services on 81 hosts. I'm watching the distributed server right now and there is hardly any system load but the Service Check Latency seems extremely high: Metric Min. Max. Average Check Execution Time: 0.05 sec 1.67 sec 0.701 sec Check Latency: 60.40 sec 287.36 sec 184.514 sec Percent State Change: 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% This is resulting in 50% or less of the service checks completing in the 5 minutes or less timeframe. The Central server has had no significant change in performance at all and seems to be receiving and processing everything without difficulty. The nsca server on the central server is running with the following arguments: /usr/local/sbin/nsca --daemon -c /usr/local/etc/nsca.cfg The submit_check_result script on the distributed server is right out of the documentation. Encryption within nsca has been reduced to simple XOR with a password. Is there any way to optimize the send_nsca features or is that high of a Service Check Latency not a big deal?

There are many ways to do that; my favorite (obviously since I wrote it :) ) is using the host and service performance data files as named pipes, and having a daemon reaping them and batch-sending data to send_nsca.. The howto is here (and I'll be more than happy to answer your questions or get your feedback): http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki/index.php/OCP_Daemon It will require Libevent and the Perl module Event::Lib.

I mean obviously having the ip is useful too but > hostnames are much easier to identify Hi and sorry for the late response. I suggest that you either use a descriptive label (like hostgroup name) and/or use host and service notes to give more details. You can send host and service notes in notification emails.

Depending on the complexity of your config you may of may not have to change anything in the object configuration files. Also since many options have been added to the main config file (nagios.cfg) I suggest that you take the new one from 3.0 and manually merge changes from your old config. If you're in a hurry though keeping the old file will likely work.

About the software you have installed 1a. What OS are you using 1b. What version of Nagios and nagios Plugins are you using? 1c. What version of nrpe are you using? 1d. Is Nagios and the Plugins configured? 1e. If you run nagios -v ./nagios.cfg does it pass the pre-flight check? 1f. What user are you running the check_nrpe command as? 2. On remote nrpe box 2a. Is nrpe defined in /etc/services? nrpe 5666/tcp Nagios Remote Plugin Executor 2b. Is nrpe defined in inetd/xinetd? 2c. Is nrpe listening to the port Test_Server_1:~ # netstat -a |grep nrpe tcp 0 0 *:nrpe *:* LISTEN 2d.

Lets look at your /usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommand.cfg file Have you specified a check_load or as I like to define different local and remote commands check_nrpe_swap in the file above. If you haven't you will get an error like you are seeing. # ' check swap space usage on remote systems define command{ command_name check_nrpe_swap command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ } I have run through the above and when I run the check_nrpe command on the command line I get the following nagios at usel:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> ./check_nrpe -H Test_Server_1 -c check_swap SWAP OK - 100% free (5137 MB out of 5137 MB) |swap=5137MB;1541;1027;0;5137 And like an epiphany, I just read your post title, it looks like you need to define the check swap in your checkcommands.cfg file first. Hope this helps.

I'm fairly new to Nagios and I am completely dumbfounded at this. If you can't service even a quarter (and probably even a tenth) of the amount of hosts and services on a distributed server than you can on a regular active server then what is the point of having a distributed model at all?

The command /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp -s works splendidly from the command line with both root and nagios users. '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg' completes with no errors. However, when I attempt to have check_dhcp run from within nagios, I get the error: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call. Previous to this error, I was getting "DHCP;CRITICAL;HARD;3;(Return code of 126 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)" errors. I followed Thomkas' suggestion in a message dated Mon, 11 Sep 2006 04:41:53 +0200, and removed the service definition, restarted nagios, inserted the service definition, and restarted nagios. Then I started to get the "Plugin timed out" errors. I had had someone else look over the files, and they can't find any errors. I am including the relevant snippits here. Hopefully, someone will be able to shed some light on my problem.

I have 5 data collector machines running nagios -and- cricket for thousands of services each with nagios reporting all results back to two central hosts as documented. Average latency is 0.689 seconds and Max of 3.65 seconds right now. The distributed server should be performing exactly like a regular active server as far as latency stats are concerned. You're either starving nagios for resources needed to run its active checks (run ~nagios/bin/nagios -s ~nagios/etc/nagios.cfg to see recommended settings) or, less likely, something is wrong with your submit-check-result. If you submit a result from the command line, does it complete in a timely manner? If you disable OCSP does the latency go away? Basic troubleshooting dictates you should try methodically enabling features on your distributed machine to turn it from an active-only server to active submitting check results via OCSP. Disable OCSP program-wide (nagios.cfg) Test Enable OCSP but have your OCSP script do everything except call send_nsca Test Enable send_nsca in your OCSP script. Test ... Do you have regular host checks enabled? Post the output of nagios -v and nagios -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.

Watching top for a few minutes reveals a LOT of send_nsca processes being spawned but few checks actually running. Of course the SNMP checks themselves run very quickly but there always seems to be a send_nsca client running. Not the same one either, always a different PID.

Do you have a distributed environment? Passive checks are not processed during the reloading of the configuration, so the number of passive checks queued up. When the configuration has been read, Nagios has to empty the external command file before starting regular checks. Use nagiostat to see the buffer slot values straight after startup - this will give an idea Ton http://www.altinity.com T: +44 (0)870 787 9243 F: +44 (0)845 280 1725 Skype: tonvoon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Then I issue this check from the new server (the 2.9 installation), but with the old plugin (1.3.1): newNagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec.131 # ./check_snmp -H switch1 -o ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusDescr.1005 SNMP WARNING - Switch#1, Sensor#1, Status is GREEN And again: the exitcode is 1 (WARNING) I copied the commands and output directly from the respective Putty sessions, and no, there was no state change between the different commands. The oldNagios still tells me all checks are green on this switch, and the newNagios still shows me WARNING states. I'm completely flabbergasted, any ideas???

If it returns a non-ok status it's most likely because snmpget returned something on STDERR. use the -v switch to see which command is being run, and then you can run it yourself to see what's going on (usually it's MIB parsing errors like illegal characters - there's multiple way to fix these issues) If you want to alert based on the status returned you should rather use a OID that returns a numeric value like these ones: ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 been digging deeper into the hell called SNMP, and found out what the problem is: The NET-SNMP commands return these two errors: Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC-v1): At line 11 in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-ENVMON-MIB.txt Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI-v1): At line 10 in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-SMI.txt Strange thing is: SNMPv2-TC and SNMPv2-SMI are available, but not these '-v1' variants. Even stranger is that the 'oldNagios' server doesn't have these modules either, but does not complain. So the WARNING is indeed issued by the underlying snmpget command and does not indicate a problem with the monitored device. Regarding not being able to monitor a status change on these OID's: I think you are right. I did not create these checks but one of my colleagues did, and I will give him the OID's you suggested to monitor so we can improve these checks. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Most (about 8k of the 9k) of the service checks are passive (done on the checked host). No host check is passive. OTOH, I think this was a "transient" problem. While the time to restart Nagios has been creeping up slowly, I think my recent problem was caused by some resource starvation on my Nagios server. The same machine runs my centralized syslog catcher and it was eating up lots of the machine. I didn't notice this for a few hours and now that that is fixed things seem back to usual. It takes about 45 seconds (from the time command) to start Nagios instead of the >3 minutes I was seeing. Funny thing is that normal commands were working quickly on the machine. I guess I/O might have been slow. Sorry about wasting peoples time. Thanks again.

Do you have a distributed environment? Passive checks are not processed during the reloading of the configuration, so the number of passive checks queued up. When the configuration has been read, Nagios has to empty the external command file before starting regular checks. Use nagiostat to see the buffer slot values straight after startup - this will give an idea Ton http://www.altinity.com T: +44 (0)870 787 9243 F: +44 (0)845 280 1725 Skype: tonvoon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 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 think James means by 'some of the hosts still have not done their pings...' that he has setup check_ping as a host_check. If that is the case, it can be explained fairly easy: host_checks are only carried out when one or more services return a non-OK status. If he is indeed talking about ping as a service_check, something else is misbehaving. But, we need some more info to see what's going on. James, could you please post the relevant part of your configuration, so people can see how your checks are configured?

This is like asking a mechanic why your car won't start even though it looks like all the other cars on the road and without telling him anything more about your car. If you don't give details about the symptoms, specific configurations for an affected host/service and what you've done to troubleshoot, we can't really help other than to tell you to re-check your work. Hosts are never checked unless a service on the host fails. Do you have services configured for those hosts? Have those services failed? > > Also I was wondering if anyone could point me to the way to setup snmp > traps?

Just guessing, it sounds like you have nagios configured to run it on your nagios machine only, multiple times. That can be accomplished by installing the plugin on the machine you want to check and using NRPE or check-by-ssh from your nagios machine to execute it.

The important thing the MIB will tell you for your NAS product is what OIDs are important. Here's an example that I use: define command { command_name check-snmp-swap command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -C '$ARG3$' -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.4.0 -P 1 -l "Free Swap" } Here I use SNMP to check the free swap space on my servers. The OID is the value given to check_snmp with the -o argument. This is dependant on your configuration. All other parameters are standard with the exception of -C which is the community name (think of it like a password) that you setup on your SNMP enabled device. The particular example above I use against Linux servers, but with the format of the command would be exactly the same as your NAS device. I just saw this on NagiosExchange that may help you as well: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/SNMP.51.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp_view%5D=733 If you want to learn more about SNMP in general, I learned about it with this book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/esnmp/ HTH, On 5/1/2007 2:26 PM, vadi had said: > > Dear all, thank you very much for your suggestion. > > Anthony Mendoza: Sir I am totally new to SNMP.

Yes, but you'll need to run the plugin on the remote machine. Just guessing, it sounds like you have nagios configured to run it on your nagios machine only, multiple times. That can be accomplished by installing the plugin on the machine you want to check and using NRPE or check-by-ssh from your nagios machine to execute it. An alternative is to use an SNMP check if you have an SNMP daemon configured/running on the remote hosts. As per other plugin like: check_ping, or check_dns I did not configure the plugin on the remote machine to execute it. Will have to check on the net how to use SNMP.

Are these hosts in that hostgroup? Since you don't specify it in the host definition you must have a hostgroup{} definition for Grossley Hall that includes them. Alternately, these hosts could be added to a new hostgroup that is included in the ping-service above. Alternately, you could have a specific service{} definition for these specific hosts that uses the ping-service. -- 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.

That's because those plugins check things that are externally exposed to the Internet (or your network) for remote hosts by default or by necessity. Systems don't (usually) make their disk info available to external hosts for obvious reasons. It's a key distinction that should help you understand how to monitor remote hosts. -- 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 found that tuning the MySQL database in various ways helped (not that I know much about MySQL), and reducing the number of days data retained helped a bit too. I can recommend phpMyAdmin if like me you're not all that familiar with MySQL. It can show you what SQL is currently running and has a few tuning features which are easy to use. I'm currently thinking it might help a fair bit if I put the MySQL database on another server. I haven't gotten around to doing that yet though. My server is quite busy even when ndoutils isn't running. I don't think the burden of running ndoutils is huge, but for me it's enough to tip it over from latency of 5 seconds or so when I'm not running ndoutils to 30 seconds or more at times when I am.

No > luck so far. It would be helpful to determine if the problem is ePN returning a bogus return code or Nag 3.x not processing it correctly. You can do this by enabling ePN logging (see perldoc p1.pl). (You could also do the same with Nag logging but that requires Nagios compiled with the debug options). You will need to carefully edit p1.pl to set the DEBUG_LEVEL constant to LEAVE_MSG. Set the debug log path and name as suits you (or make sure the defaults aren't going to kill you). Restart Nagios. You should see messages like those documented. If they disagree with what Nagios is reporting then its a Nag bug, otherwise an ePN bug. Please let the list know your result. Yours sincerely.

If I stop nagios and remove the state retention file, then restart nagios all hosts appear again until the status checks start going - at which point hosts disappear again. There is only one nagios process running (as per the FAQ). Without removing the retention file, the host list will still be missing a lot of hosts. Verifying the config using nagios2 -v does not show any errors. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here?

Mysql takes a very long time (around 30 seconds) to run the (from memory) "DELETE FROM nagios_servicechecks WHERE instance_id = 1 AND entry_time < ....." query. This holds up other things, though I haven't fully understood where or why. The problem is with the indexes for nagios_servicechecks. We dropped the unique key index, which was (instance_id, service_object, entry_time, uentrysec), and created a new index based on entry_time only. This is much quicker because (a) the index is smaller, (b) mysql can locate the correct rows quicker because it finds the rows based on time, rather than trying to find rows based on instance_id (which is every row in the table - effectively doing a full table scan). (As an aside, mysql will not enforce the uniqueness on that index - it only works for tables of type innodb, not myisam.) We plan on blogging about this in more detail within the next two weeks because it is a major enhancement to NDOutils in large scale environments, but we're just snowed under with work :( Ton http://www.altinity.com T: +44 (0)870 787 9243 F: +44 (0)845 280 1725 Skype: tonvoon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Seems like a very bad I idea to drop the unique key index, just create another index that works better with the query. If the query contains "WHERE instance_id = 1 and entry_time <", create an index on instance_id, entry_time which should make mysql fly a little faster. If you have a trouble query you can always use explain to see what mysql is trying to do with it index wise and you can create a better index, etc. When the indexes are where they should, you can tweak various settings in mysql so that you get a better hitrate from various caches. -- regards, Robin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 on troubles! I installed nagios 2.7 in a Suse. I integrated nagiograph, all was working fine. The externall commands, graphs..... works fine. I decided to upgrade nagios , so i downloaded nagios3.0a3. I installed, but is not working well. Now my machined is working really slowly, (cpu always is %100 working). The proccesses "insert.pl ,nagios" take up all cpu so my nagios doesn?t checks services inmediatly, it takes more than an hour to check all the services that are running. I know that insert.pl is used by nagiosgraph. The externall commands doesn?t works inmediatly, it takes an a hour to check the service...!!! I know that the new version of nagios is not very stable but the usage of the cpu by nagios 3 is more than 1000% bigger than the version 2.7. Has someone try nagios 3? thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <2DF21D80C81D024DB1A79BAC56EF913C931A4F@MAILSRV01.e-tron.com> I am currently monitoring a number of remote hosts passively using REL to email the results back to me. In the event all the inbound mails bounce, nagios receives no updates, fails freshness checks, and the services generate alerts, as I would expect. Is there something I have to do to generate a passive host check, or is this tied to the passive service checks? I would expect if all the service checks fail for a particular host, that the host would then also show an alert, but that doesn't seem to be the case. How do I configure the host to generate alerts if service checks fail?

I'd like to get this resolved with the provider of this DNSBL, so if you can contact me back off-list, and see if we can sort it out.

I am currently monitoring a number of remote hosts passively using REL to email the results back to me. In the event all the inbound mails bounce, nagios receives no updates, fails freshness checks, and the services generate alerts, as I would expect. Is there something I have to do to generate a passive host check, or is this tied to the passive service checks? I would expect if all the service checks fail for a particular host, that the host would then also show an alert, but that doesn't seem to be the case. How do I configure the host to generate alerts if service checks fail?

How do I achieve this with passive-only checks? You should pass along passive results for hosts. The problem with this kind of assumption is that for routers Nagios could think that the rest of the network is unreachable if all services of a router are down, but that's not always the case. A ping check is much less likely to fail than snmp, ssh or other checks (And I've seen network devices become totally unreachable while still functioning properly).

Or they are discontinued ? This is > part of basic monitoring, I believe. p.s. I should have mentioned the check_* binaries and scripts are known as 'plugins'. They are developed separately from the core Nagios system so you must download (and if necessary compile) them separately. If you install Nagios from a package, the package maintainer may or may not have chosen to include the plugins, and may have chosen to put them in a non-standard directory. If you do a default install from source tarball of Nagios and the plugins, you should find the plugins in /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ If you are upgrading Nagios, you will normally find that upgrading the plugins is optional; you should be able to continue to use the plugins you were using before until such time as you choose to upgrade them too.

My configuration has no problem. I've verified that the "command not defined" issue is caused by the incompatibility between the NRPE and Plugins running on my remote client. The version of NRPE is 2.8b1, which I downloaded from Nagios website and compiled. When I ran "check_nrpe -H remote_client" on monitor host, it returns the result of NRPE version of remote client. So the check_nrpe on monitor host can talk to NRPE daemon on remote client properly. But the plugins is the version 1.4, is the pre-compiled one which I directly downloaded from internet, as I had problem on compiling nagios-plugins-1.4.8 on my HP-UX box. While I compiled the package nagios-plugins-1.4.8, it's passed the configure step, but failed at make with following error messages: ........ gcc -g -O2 -o check_swap check_swap.o utils.o popen.o -L/tmp/nagios-plugins-1.4.8/plugins -L/opt/openssl/lib -lm ../lib/libnagiosplug.a ../gl/libgnu.a /usr/loc al/lib/libintl.sl -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libiconv.sl -lc -Wl,+b -Wl,/usr/local/lib /usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols: floorf (code) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[2]: *** [check_swap] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/nagios-plugins-1.4.8/plugins' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/nagios-plugins-1.4.8' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 ........... I even have problem to compile nrpe-2.8b1 on some other HP-UX boxes as well. Does anybody have any experience on using Nagios on HP-UX platform and have any idea on it? Thanks in advance.

Set the host to a dummy check and only use the service check. If you check the archicves you will see that host checks are rather different from service check by design.

Interestingly enough, it seems that this error seems linked to the number of failures of various services/hosts. I haven't managed to pin out a number as yet, but I can replicate it by adding a dud config file with 20+ services that will always fail (ie become critical). After doing this, I always lose hosts from the Service Detail page. Removing the config file and restarting Nagios makes the problem go away. Enabling it, and the hosts go missing again. Is there any way I can debug this further? -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Steven Haigh Sent: Monday, 7 May 2007 3:37 PM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios v2.9 disappearing hosts/services Hi again all, I am still having an issue with disappearing hosts from the nagios service detail page.

If I stop nagios and remove the state retention file, then restart nagios all hosts appear again until the status checks start going - at which point hosts disappear again. There is only one nagios process running (as per the FAQ). Without removing the retention file, the host list will still be missing a lot of hosts. Verifying the config using nagios2 -v does not show any errors. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here?

I turned on logging in the p1.pl and here's what I got. I have cut and pasted a couple of plugins as seen in the epn logfile and through the webui of nagios. I think epn is getting the correct response from the plugin, and the performance information looks good in the user interface, but the status field in the user interface has garbage data mixed in with valid data. This is nagios-3.0a2 by the way.

No > luck so far. It would be helpful to determine if the problem is ePN returning a bogus return code or Nag 3.x not processing it correctly. You can do this by enabling ePN logging (see perldoc p1.pl). (You could also do the same with Nag logging but that requires Nagios compiled with the debug options). You will need to carefully edit p1.pl to set the DEBUG_LEVEL constant to LEAVE_MSG. Set the debug log path and name as suits you (or make sure the defaults aren't going to kill you). Restart Nagios. You should see messages like those documented. If they disagree with what Nagios is reporting then its a Nag bug, otherwise an ePN bug. Please let the list know your result. Yours sincerely.

Is it only the UI that is wrong or is Nagios also treating the plugin response as a failure ? If you are getting beeped (ie HARD error from ePN plugin) the fault is prob in checks.c otherwise the CGIs may be the culprits. I agree with your conclusion: this looks to me like a bug in the Nag handling of the data returned by ePN. The problem does _not_ appear to be ePNs return of the data since if that was the case, there would be no Performance Data (which is data appended to the plugin output following a pipe symbol): some plugin output is getting back to Nagios so it must be Nagios incorrectly processing the plugin output. I think there's nothing more to be said apart from finding the bug, probably in checks.c (although it could be in other code that also processes data returned by Perl; event handlers for example). I am hoping that the Nag developers will see this and comment. > Thanks, > > James Whittington > James.whittington at vc3.com Classification: UNCLASSIFIED ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 tool will generate a number of service dependencies for one or more host/service combinations. This will be best used for the "matrix" dependency problem. E.g. NRPE checks on a server depend on the master NRPE check on the same server. You cannot create a single dependency definition, or each NRPE check will depend on every other server's master NRPE check. This tool will generate these sort of dependencies for you. Page 256 of the Nagios 2.0 manual will help explain what the various options mean. To use, visit: http://apps.andyshellam.eu/nagios_sdg. If you don't select a master host (the default), then a dependency on each service will be generated for each host you enter, otherwise each generated check will depend on the master host/service you enter. E.g. Some common dependencies to generate: A series of website checks on one server depend on the server's Web Service check: 1. Check "Define master host" 2. Enter the server's name in the "Master host" box 3. Enter "Web Service" as the master service check 4. Enter the server's name in the "Dependent Hosts" box 5. Enter the list of website checks in the "Dependent Services" box 6. Select the extra options 7. Generate! For every server in Nagios, each check that requires NRPE depends on the same server's "master NRPE Agent" check: 1. Leave "Define master host" unchecked 2. Enter a list of all servers in the "Master/dependent hosts" box 3. Enter "NRPE Agent" as the master service check 4. Enter a list of all NRPE-checks in the "Dependent Services" box 5. Select the extra options 6. Generate! The tool can generate you a config file to save directly to the Nagios server, or output directly in your browser for copy/pasting.

This can easily be accomplished with a short external script. Create a head file that contains options that are different for each. Create a tail file with the authorization information that you edit frequently. Concatenate them together when you make a change.

It has no concept of increasing or decreasing since it has no idea what the previous value was. >From check_snmp --help -- - Ranges are inclusive and are indicated with colons. When specified as 'min:max' a STATE_OK will be returned if the result is within the indicated range or is equal to the upper or lower bound. A non-OK state will be returned if the result is outside the specified range. - If specified in the order 'max:min' a non-OK state will be returned if the result is within the (inclusive) range. Sooo.. you can see that your warning will be a range from 15 to 11 and critical will be a range from 10 to 0. -- 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.

On one of my hosts, I have 12 services that need to be monitored as often as possible. Ideally, the services would each be checked once a minute. To do this, I have set the check_interval to 1 as well as the retry_check_interval to 1. Under normal circumstances this does a check approximatly once a minute, give or take. However, every 24 hours a slew of once every 24 hours checks start, and pushes the checks to more than 20-30 minute intervals. I would love to set the priority on the once-per-minute check, and let the once-per-day checks fill in as needed, rather than hammer out all at once.

It seems that because nagios just checks exit status, its not easy to create a notification on stalking. I'm wondering if I can definte additional exit codes as critical (without modifying the source,) or if there is another soltuion to this. For instance, say I'm checking disk space. Warn at 85%, Crit at 90%. I also want a notification at 95,96,97,98,99,100%. I could easily exit 95 for 95%, 96 for 96%, etc. I believe this creates an unknown message. If I exit at 96, since this is a different exit code (but still unknown) would I get another notification? I know, I can test this, but it seems clunky and I don't like the unknown status issue for historical tracking. Volatile services with passive checks that only submit on change is another option, but this presents issues with needing to do freshness checking and wanting to have active checks as much as possible. Are there any other solutions to this problem? I know from a few archive threads there isn't much demand for this, but it seems like anytime you turn on stalking this would be a nice option (why wouldn't you want to be notified as your array degrades as per the example for stalking.) Looking at the docs I don't see anything in 3.0 that will help with this either.

You can't prioritize one check over another as nagios automagically figures out when they should run.

So you propably need additional services to accomplish this. Unless I totally misinterpreted your objective.

What I'd really like to see is an "event_stalking_options" parameter in nagios where the event handler is called based on the stalking options. In your case, the easiest (but probably most annoying) solution might be to set the notification interval to the same value as your check interval. If your check is running every 5 minutes, and your notification interval is set to fire off every 5 minutes, then each notification sent out will have the latest check results. -Aaron Petersen, Mark wrote: > I've searched high and low for the answer to this.

I could have multiple services where criticals are set at different levels. However, this will mess up statistics some and only works disk checks, or some sort of incremental check. Consider the RAID for stalking from the nagios2 manual. Check #: Service State: Service Check Output: x OK RAID array optimal x+1 OK RAID array optimal x+2 WARNING RAID array degraded (1 drive bad, 1 hot spare rebuilding) x+3 CRITICAL RAID array degraded (2 drives bad, 1 hot spare online, 1 hot spare rebuilding) x+4 CRIICAL RAID array degraded (3 drives bad, 2 hot spares online) x+5 CRITICAL RAID array failed x+6 CRITICAL RAID array failed x+7 CRITICAL RAID array failed I want to get notified at x+2,x+3,x+4 and x+5. I don't want to have a service that checks specifically for each level of degradation as that would get to be a ridiculous amount of service checks. Now conisder this (more like the original question) Check # State Output x OK OK - Disk usage less than 85% x+1,2,3,4 Warning WARNING - Disk is 86% full x+5,6,7 Warning WARNING - Disk is 87% full x+8,9,10 Warning WARNING - Disk is 88% full I want to receive a single notification at x+1,x+5,x+8, etc. I don't want to have 16 service checks for each mount point (one at 85,86,87,etc.) as that would get out of control quickly. Still seems like volatile services and passive checks is the best answer at this point.

I have several servers reporting back to a central server. The central server also does a couple checks but most of it's hosts and services are disabled (because it receives the info from other servers). The problem I have is with the web interface. In the Tactical Overview all the problems reported from distributed servers show up as "disabled". This means that we can't have a correct listing of Unhandled Problems. For example, Let's say I have 3 hosts down coming from a distributed server with 1 that has been acknowledged. I will have the following: 3 Down 1 Acknowledged 3 Disabled In this example, is there a way to only list the host which are down and not acknowledged???

A clever workaround to this might be to use the performance processing options built into nagios. Perhaps by using the 'service_perfdata_command' and 'process_performance_data' nagios options, and the 'process_perf_data' service directive, you could call a script to process the data, log to a database, send emails, etc. This is not 100% ideal, since nagios should be handling the notifications/emails. Instead of sending the emails, the above said script could also submit a 'critical' passive check to a single volatile service if the status is critical AND has changed... but at this point I think I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be. -Aaron Patrick Morris wrote: > Why not use an eventhandler that parses the plugin output? > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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.

Based on the other solutions you may have a few options that are close. You might get by if you are willing to write your own custom notification script. Nagios should notify every N minutes to the script as long as a warning or critical level exists. The scripts should keep progress of the performance data and only send out a real message if the performance data merits it. No modification of the check script is needed but a custom notifications script. Or if you write a custom check_disk to get rid of some of the details you can use stalking. But with the current level of details it would fire up every round. For exmple "DISK OK - free space: /boot 66 MB (70% inode=99%)" The percentages are fine but the more exact counter will be a problem if you enable stalking. Or you write a wrapper script to loose some of the output so stalking seems to make sense. Propably the easiest way to do it and the most native Nagios solution.

I have several servers reporting back to a central server. The central server also does a couple checks but most of it's hosts and services are disabled (because it receives the info from other servers). The problem I have is with the web interface. In the Tactical Overview all the problems reported from distributed servers show up as "disabled". This means that we can't have a correct listing of Unhandled Problems. For example, Let's say I have 3 hosts down coming from a distributed server with 1 that has been acknowledged. I will have the following: 3 Down 1 Acknowledged 3 Disabled In this example, is there a way to only list the host which are down and not acknowledged???

You don't really have that level of control over scheduling. You can approximate it with service_interleave_factor but you aren't really guaranteed a max number of concurrent checks per host... http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#service_interleav e_factor > Another question is: > If, for example, 1 service check fails, it will try out 4 times again > before it announce the service as "warning". In this 4 time retry period, > will Nagios finish this retry check first then run the next scheduled > service check or will nagios run the retry check and the next service > check in parallel? If you're talking about checks of the same service, nagios will not return to normal check intervals for that service until max_check_attempts is reached or the service returns an OK state. During this time nagios will continue to process other service checks at their normal_check_interval in parallel. -- 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.

After a very, very long time Version 0.4 of SNMP4Nagios has finally been released. Major changes are: - Added plugins for Net-SNMP/lm-sensors. - Added plugins for Cisco VPN Concentrators. - Added memory check for Windows/SNMP Informant. - Added memory check for Net-SNMP. - Added support for ?old-style? Cisco CPU usage. SNMP4Nagios is a package of Nagios plugins which use SNMP to query hosts. While some of the plugins use standard MIBs, most are designed for vendor specific agents. Currently devices by Brocade, Cisco, Compaq/HP and Network Appliance as well as computers running Microsoft Windows or Net-SNMP and uninterruptable power supplies are supported.

Lots of this disks I'm tracking are Databases that usually allocate disk space in roughly 1% chunks anyway, but under more normal conditions the exact count would be a problem. My custom notification script could be smart enough to check just the first xxx% with a --percent flag or something. Basically I can do a lot of with a custom notification script, so this seems like a great idea, much better (and easier to implement) than many of the hacks we've come up with. A simple notify-by-epager-with-stalking and notify-by-email-with-stalking script will out perfectly. thanks, mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Do you have other > suggestions than setting the max_concurrent_checks to 2? I never suggested changing max_concurrent_check but rather service_interleave_factor. They're definitely different beasts. As for other suggestions... - Create one or more plugins that then run multiple plugins sequentially and aggregate the results following the plugin guidelines (http://nagiosplug.sf.net) for reporting back to nagios. These new plugins would be the service checks you tell nagios to run. - or, disable parallelization entirely and force nagios to run all checks sequentially. This is definitely not desirable as it really limits your scalability and the frequency that you can run checks. > Another question is: > Is it possible in Nagios to specify on a per-host basis, whether or not a > service check can be parallelized? No, but... http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/parallelization.html says ... "If all else fails you can effectively prevent service checks from being parallelized by setting the max_concurrent_checks option to 1. This will allow only one service to be checked at a time, so it isn't a spectacular solution. If there is enough demand, I will add an option to the service definitions which will allow you to specify on a per-service basis whether or not a service check can be parallelized. If there isn't enough demand, I won't..."

After that, the interleaving and inter check delay will have no big effect on the service check scheduling because some services take longer to execute than others and host and/or service problems can alter the timing of one or more service checks. Does anyone have any idea how to limit the amount of a service check that is run on a host to only 2 service chekcs in a point of time?

I and running Nagios 2.9 and I configured what you said but that didn't fix the problem it just caused a couple of others. Here is what I did bellow. 1) I didn't configure the service to have active_checks on and had no check_period configured. This did resolve the issue of the service saying disabled because the active check was turned on. This caused another problem. The active checks were being done after 30 seconds way before my freshness_threshold of 600 seconds and my normal_check_interval of 3 minutes. It shouldn't have checked it at all. 2) I tried it another way of creating a check_period called none which had not times configured to check. I made the service use this as its check_period. When I did this it then never ran an active check even though I had a freshness_threshold configured. Is there something I did wrong, or are you running an older version of Nagios then 2.9? If anyone else has found a resolution to this problem I would appreciate your comments.

I have several servers reporting back to a central server. The central server also does a couple checks but most of it's hosts and services are disabled (because it receives the info from other servers). The problem I have is with the web interface. In the Tactical Overview all the problems reported from distributed servers show up as "disabled". This means that we can't have a correct listing of Unhandled Problems. For example, Let's say I have 3 hosts down coming from a distributed server with 1 that has been acknowledged. I will have the following: 3 Down 1 Acknowledged 3 Disabled In this example, is there a way to only list the host which are down and not acknowledged??? If this wasn't clear let me know and I will clearify. Simon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is by no means a complete description of all available args to status.cgi but I think it's a good start. Drop it into your cgi-bin and chmod 755 (probably rename to picker.cgi as well). You may need to edit the redirect line to suit your Nagios environment. It assumes you're installed at /nagios/cgi-bin/. I added a link in my side.html to make accessing it easier. Please don't contact me if you need more help deploying it. If that's the case you probably shouldn't be the primary contact for your monitoring systems. I whipped this up pretty quick and it does what I need it to do, but patches are welcome. -f ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

When I did this it then never ran an active check even though I had a freshness_threshold configured. Is there something I did wrong, or are you running an older version of Nagios then 2.9? If anyone else has found a resolution to this problem I would appreciate your comments.

I have several servers reporting back to a central server. The central server also does a couple checks but most of it's hosts and services are disabled (because it receives the info from other servers). The problem I have is with the web interface. In the Tactical Overview all the problems reported from distributed servers show up as "disabled". This means that we can't have a correct listing of Unhandled Problems. For example, Let's say I have 3 hosts down coming from a distributed server with 1 that has been acknowledged. I will have the following: 3 Down 1 Acknowledged 3 Disabled In this example, is there a way to only list the host which are down and not acknowledged??? If this wasn't clear let me know and I will clearify. Simon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Wise words. I've just discovered that for each servicecheck result, it is inserted into nagios_servicechecks table twice. The first time has results from the previous servicecheck result, but with the current start time. The 2nd time actually has the result from the servicecheck. The insert is done with a "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ...", so with the unique key, it overwrites it. But with the index dropped, there are two entries. (My previous statement about mysql not enforcing the uniqueness of a row is now clearly wrong, so I retract that :) ) Obviously we need to restore the unique index, but the better fix would be to work out why there are two inserts.... > If the query contains "WHERE instance_id = 1 and entry_time <", create > an index on instance_id, entry_time which should make mysql fly a > little faster. I think maybe if the order of the index is arranged, it would work much better. For instance, set the unique index to be (start_time, instance_id, service_object_id, start_time_usec). Then for the query, the db will use the start_time first (which will reduce the number of rows to the smallest number found) and then check the instance_id. The trouble was that the previous index returned back all rows (if you only have one instance_id), so a full table scan was required to find the start_time.

Message-ID: <240ACF97BF029A44BD73F01C4694ECA323A0E5@server> Dear list, as I manage a number of servers, which are quite remotely placed, via nrpe it often happens that one or the other service(s) of the watched servers will show errors due to network insuffency. Examples: - "SSL Handshake not completed ..." - "No response after ... seconds ..." So this service will fall into the state SOFT 1 - But after the next query the service is OK again. So I get many warnings/criticals which are not real problems of the machines. My question: Is there a possibility to change the state of a service not at the first fault (SOFT 1) but after the second fault (SOFT 2) - because then it will more likely be a real problem ... Or is there a possibility that I can configure nagios in that way that there has to be a second fault query of the same service before the state fo the service will fall from OK into SOFT 1 - and the status will change? Any hints? ThanX, Martin ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing.

Hey folks, I tryed to play a bit with nsca and I'm able to send some text message to test it and that's works fine, but I have a couple of question about that... 1- Why I would use nsca to monitor something? How I should use it (example)? Well at my work we have a lot of servers hosted somewhere else (our productionservers) and our testserver placed in house. Instead of having to different interfaces etc ? then you use nsca to commit the results of check to the other location and then have watch it all on 1 interface. Can I use some plugin with nsca? yes How can I monitor Windows workstation remotly, for disk, memory, cpu usage, etc...? Well I use the snmp on all host (linux,windows) both places and the result are sent :-) 2- If I need to monitor a remote site with a couple of workstation/switches/router, what could be the best way to monitor it if I can't monitor it directly (remote site with dynamic external IP). Well if you have static IP one place ? Set the Master machine there ? and having nsca send the results to that (again :-) ) So basicly it sounds like you should read the manual more about the nsca ( I have been there :-( ) and well then go ahead. It?s really not that difficult when you?re in it.

This can be anywhere between 4 to 6 days apart, and it relieves me of having to watch. I get an email stating that the directory is at its target size. by nsca firing off an event.

For different priorities, you would define different notify commands (or you could pass the priority as a string argument to your notify command). I think for /bin/mail, it's something like : "mail -a 'Priority: Urgent'". I would check the man pages. - Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 given example over there *is* the sms_notification_by_gnokki script, which you can alter to your own needs. So, put the command definition in your commands.cfg and alter the script to your needs (you might also need to change the paths in it, as you might have Nagios installed in another location than /opt/nagios). -- Riemer Palstra riemer at palstra.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Not much to go. So this question is unanswerable. But about a year ago I wrote about a number of things which seem to have an impact on the proper working of ngraph.

Performance under normal circumstances is fine. Typical check and latency times are as follows: Monitoring Performance Service Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 11.04 / 3.418 sec Service Check Latency: 0.00 / 1.87 / 0.479 sec Host Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 10.04 / 0.843 sec Host Check Latency: 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.000 sec # Active Host / Service Checks: 1623 / 1946 # Passive Host / Service Checks: 0 / 0 The vast majority of these hosts are spread over 320 geographic locations throughout the UK. These locations are connected to our data centre via a hardware VPN device with the majority (about 270) using a private ADSL circuit to facilitate the VPN connection. Yesterday, we had a major outage caused by the failure of one of the ADSL central routers at our ISP. This took out a third of our ADSL sites (roughly 90) for 16 minutes. Each of these sites has about 4 devices monitored by Nagios so in effect about 360 devices (hosts) went down in an instant. As you can imagine, we were aware of the problem almost immediately due to the barrage of phone calls from out clients, but unfortunately Nagios didn't even remotely reflect the current situation. I have used parent child relationships to the full so I was expecting a good portion of the VPN devices to show as down with all other devices behind the VPN device showing as unreachable. This was not the case. It actually took half an hour to find only 20 of these VPN devices down and another half an hour to notice that they were actually back up again having only noticed 20 of the 90 in the first place. During the outage, the service check latency was increasing exponentially and the performance stats half an hour after the start of the problem were as follows: Monitoring Performance Service Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 11.04 / 3.646 sec Service Check Latency: 947.84 / 2080.05 / 1467.274 sec Host Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 10.04 / 0.968 sec Host Check Latency: 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.000 sec # Active Host / Service Checks: 1623 / 1946 # Passive Host / Service Checks: 0 / 0 As you can see, the average service check latency time has jumped to 1467 seconds (24 mins). On all of these hosts there is only one service which is a ping (check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5). The host check is also a ping (check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1) but much faster with only 1 ping being sent out. The normal_check_interval on services is 5 mins with 2 max_check_attempts and a retry_interval of 1. The host also has a max_check_attempts of 2. A lot of people have mentioned using fping to speed things up but if my average service latency is only 0.479 seconds in normal circumstances, I can't see how tweaking this will help in a major outage situation. I have also read through the section on tweaking performance which seems to be geared toward protecting the machine Nagios is running on. I want to do the opposite and give Nagios a lot more work to do. The machine is dedicated to Nagios and is quite high spec. It's an IBM xServies 336 with 2 Dual Core processors and 4GB of RAM so it should be able to take a much bigger hit. I have been monitoring CPU performance with MRTG and the CPU performance never goes lower than 90% idle. Ironically during the problem, the machines idle time jumped to 95% when I would have expected to drop rather than increase. The only performance tweak I could see that would affect the performance in this situation is max_concurrent_checks but this is already set to 0. I am fairly new to Nagios (2 months) so I apologise if I have missed something obvious but any pointers to a solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated. I have run a nagios -s (attached below) which seems to indicate that everything is setup ok. Let me know if you require any more information from my config that would help diagnose the problem. regards, Aidan Nagios 2.8 Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 03-08-2007 License: GPL Projected scheduling information for host and service checks is listed below.

It's very reasonable that they would do that. You need to configure the MTA on your nagios box to use a real hostname that can be found in the DNS. This may be as simple as adding the hostname to your DNS and editing your /etc/hosts file on your nagios box, changing the 127.0.0.1 entry to something like -- 127.0.0.1 yourhost.yourdomain.foo localhost.localdomain You'd need to restart your MTA if it's running as a daemon after making that change. If that doesn't work, you'll need to specifically configure the MTA that you're using to masquerade as that host or domain. You can do this for Sendmail by setting the MASQUERADE_AS macro.

On each of my passive service checks I am also doing freshness checks just encase the distributed host goes down and can't run the check. I am able to log into the distributed hosts Web Interface and shut off active checks if I don't want to run checks for a temporary amount of time on a specific hosts and it is service with one click to disable active checks for all services. This works with out any problems but once my freshness checks is hit the Centralized Nagios hosts starts doing the active checks because it doesn't receive an update from the Distributed Hosts. I am aware this is what should be happening and it is working great. Is there a way to disable the freshness check for all the services for a host just like you can for active checks? I know if I shut off receiving passive checks for one service this disables the freshness checks. Has someone configured a patch or know how to activate this feature to disable passive checks for all services on a host through the Nagios cgi.

This means that if you've configured check_ping to do (let's say) 5 pings, the check_ping plugin will always take at least 5 seconds to complete. If the check_ping is being run as a host check rather than a service check, my understanding is that this is the only thing Nagios will be doing; it doesn't do anything else concurrently (correct me if I'm wrong people). In normal operation, nagios will rarely do a host check, as it only usually bothers to if all of the service checks (which can run concurrently) for that host have failed. When lots of hosts go down at once, you suddenly notice how bad it is to have such slow host checks. check_icmp or check_fping typically complete a whole lot quicker than check_ping. This is because (if I recall correctly) they will finish and return an OK status as soon as they receive the first ping response rather than bothering to do all 5 of them. My nagios system used to crawl even if only half a dozen hosts were down until I changed check_ping to check_fping (and now I use check_icmp but I can't remember if it's any better than check_fping or not). 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.

Right? Not at all. It just means that root can run a program successfully when called directly. The question you should be asking is does the command{} definition for this plugin use that full path? The default configs typically use the $USER1$ macro for the path which must be properly set in resource.cfg. Is $USER1$ pointing to the correct path? Is resource.cfg being loaded by nagios? Also, as pointed out previously, the plugins are never run as the root user, always the nagios user. While it's not likely in this case, the nagios user certainly isn't guaranteed the same access privileges as the root user. You should always perform plugin tests as the nagios user. -- 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.

Correct.

The majority of devices that I monitor are routers/vpn devices and I have (on the documentation's advice) not set active checks on the hosts and instead I've added check_ping as a service on each of these hosts to do 5 pings as follows: check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5 For the host check I already use as you suggested a check_ping that only does one ping as follows: check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1 My understanding was that if the service check failed it would then abandon the service check altogether and move onto the host check which is only 1 ping. The fact that the service checks are parallelised should mean that it shouldn't matter that there are 5 pings and the host check is only 1 ping which should resolve the bottleneck of serialised host checks. I'm at a loss as to why performance has been impacted so severely. Maybe I need to abandon the service checks altogether and just have a host check. I'm reluctant to do this because I get very useful information from 5 pings, ie packet loss and high rta which is particularly handy for checking volatile links such as ADSL. Maybe that is the trade-off, fast host checking with no useful stats or slow host checking with useful stats. regards, Aidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 noticed this in your original email: Host Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 10.04 / 0.843 sec This means that some of your host checks are taking 10 seconds, which is, funnily enough, the timeout period for check_ping. So the -p 1 will still take 10 seconds if the routers are not responding. You can use a timeout flag for check_ping (but is only supported on some OSes). I guess check_icmp is a better bet here.

My system is set up in the following way: I have about 1000 machines w/ their services set to disable active check, and get all state info from an external command file (passive checks). To this I added 2 hosts w/ services in which I've enabled active checks, and provided a check command (config below). What happens is the services get actively checked and updated, but Nagios assumes the host is up (I guess because the services are returning values), and never executes the host check. This is troubling because the host check provides me with important data. In another instance, I have a host with active check enabled, and its services' active checks disabled. Here, Nagios just keeps the host and all its services in a "pending" stage until the services return with information, again never executing the host check. Any insight would be extremely helpful.

If you want the data a host check would provide even when there are no service state changes (which is the only condition under which host checks will normally run), you should probably consider running it also as a service check. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 to work far more efficiently and has dropped my average service and host check execution times from 11 seconds to 4-5 seconds. It didn't, however, make Nagios notice the hosts go down any quicker. It still took an hour to notice that 109 hosts had gone down and during that hour, latency times shot up above 2000 seconds. Once it had finally noticed that all 109 hosts were down, latency times dropped back to normal. This must be down to the serialisation of host checks so I'll wait patiently for the stable release of version 3.

I later discovered that that's what the heartbeat parameter (really an RRD parameter) in the nagiosgraph config file is about. I found the default value to be way too short for the variety of checks we ran. I read about what it did and turned the interval up considerably and we've had nice graphs for everything we've got for many months now. I do with there was some way with Nagiosgraph to define per-check-type heartbeat intervals rather than one interval for everything that runs in Nagiosgraph.

These websites are all defined as a check in Nagios in the service group "web_sites". The host also has a service check called "Web Service" which checks that Apache is alive and running. What I want to do is set up a service dependency of all websites in the web_sites group on that web service. According to the manual, this is valid: define servicedependency { host_name Sydney-2 service_description Web Service dependent_host_name Sydney-2 dependent_servicegroup_name web_sites execution_failure_criteria c notification_failure_criteria w,u,c,p inherits_parent 0 } However, when trying to verify with Nagios: Error: NULL service description/host name in service dependency definition Error: Could not register service execution dependency (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/config/service_dependencies.cfg', starting on line 23) Line 23 is the line that begins the above service dependency. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy. _________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER This e-mail was sent through a Mail Network server.

I tried to post this on the nagiosgraph forum but for some strange reason I couldn't log in. Normally this patch works fine but there might be situations where a wrong heartbeat gets calculated. For example when a user reschedules a Nagios service check. The ideal solution would be a Nagios macro/environment variable that tells us the normal_check_interval for a service. I hope someone puts this into the official version of nagiosgraph. Regards, Stijn Frost, Mark {PBG} schreef: > I had this same issue at first.

The check that is running is a command that is defined on the remote host in nrpe.cfg. I looked around the archives and didn't find anything that would fix the problem that I am having. I am running Debian Linux, Apache2, and Nagios 1.4. Each remote machine is running nrpe and as the user "nagios" I can manually run the check_nrpe -H hostname -c command and it works fine. It's when I am running the command through the webpage that it doesn't work. The new nagios server is replacing a nagios 1.3 server, which ran fine ( the hardware is out of warranty which is why we are replacing it ). Each remote host has the IP address of the new nagios server defined in nrpe.cfg and nrpe has been restarted on the remote hosts. Doing a tail -f /var/log/nagios/nagios.log will show the command being executed, but no reply data. Nagios was installed using the Debian "apt-get", so it was a pre-packaged bundle from Debian. All plugins have been installed. On the backup nagios 1.4 server (I am using linux clustering) all checks work fine. I can't find anything different between file ownership, permissions, etc... with the 1.4 server that is working and the 1.4 server that isn't. All checks are being done on the same subnet, so routing isn't an issue. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. If you need more info on my config I would be happy to post it.

How can I avoid this? If this is something you're seeing when checking a site using the check_http plugin, you need to configure the web server on that machine not to require AUTH when the request comes from the nagios machine. How this is done is different for each web server. Alternately, you could pass the auth info as part of the request by check_http.

Or allow 401 responses to be valid responses. -e, --expect=STRING String to expect in first (status) line of server response (default: HTTP/1.)

A service is most of the time in WARNING state (for precise reasons). Since this service reach a CRITICAL status, an alarm is sent as expected. The goal is to set up a number of tries in CRITICAL status before to send any alarm. I know we can tune nb of tries for soft to hard status, but is there any setting allowing us to fine tune the number of CRITICAL status recevied before to alarm anyone ? (main resaon is that NRPE do not send back an UNKNOWN status when it has a Plugin timeout. I know that we can tune the timeout and that the next version, I hope, will include UNKNOWN status when there is a plugin timeout, but i think that this feature could be interesting for special services...)

No, that's not possible. But the idea is great. An option to select single searches by calling check_logfiles with a list of tags. It will be in a new release soon. Tack, Lars!

Shame on you! I can delete the scheduled downtime only from the page "Downtime" in the side pannel (side.html), but it is not what I need/want. How can I solve this ? Is it a bug ?

Total Warnings: 0 Total Errors: 0 Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check I checked through the archives and the suggestions that I found didn't fix the problem. I agree, it's probably a common problem that I am having. I went back through my install of nagios and checked permissions (against the install that is working) of the following: /etc/nagios (and sub directories) /etc/nagios-plugins /usr/share/nagios (and sub directories) /usr/lib/nagios (and sub directories) /usr/sbin/nagios /usr/sbin/nrpe I also checked file sizes of the contents in the /etc/nagios directory against the working server and they matched. I then went though, line by line, the config files and they matched. I added the host names of the client to my /etc/host file (it was already in dns) and that didn't help. I did the same thing on the client machine with the server names. Same result. For each host defined in my services config file, not everything is failing to report back. It seems like a only the checks that would be defined in the nrpe.cfg file on the target machine. If it's just a straight plugin check, then it appears to work. For example: On our netbackup server, the checks for ping and ssh work fine. The custom commands for checking tape drive status doesn't. I also ensured that the package list that was installed on the working server also matched the problem server.

There is a file transfert between a server A on our LAN network and a server B on a remote network. I want to monitor this transfert by Nagios. I've installed NSClient++ vers. 2.7 on my server A. The "nagios" client is configured for NRPE. Some of existents command work fine, another not. For testing communication, i've created a small file that realize a ping between these 2 machines. It works well on hand direct from the server. When I test it through my Nagios server via check_nrpe, i have this message : NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting.... I've search on my windows server, but there is no other message. Questions : 1/ have you got test this ? 2/ How shall you do it with NRPE or not ? Any suggest would be helpfull ! Thanks !

I see, now that's tricky. I'm sorry, but I have no more ideas. Maybe something's available in the environment when run interactively, whereas when nagios runs the check in the background there's something missing. Compare env's for the two cases maybe?

On each of my passive service checks I am also doing freshness checks just encase the distributed host goes down and can't run the check. I am able to log into the distributed hosts Web Interface and shut off active checks if I don't want to run checks for a temporary amount of time on a specific hosts and it is service with one click to disable active checks for all services. This works with out any problems but once my freshness checks is hit the Centralized Nagios hosts starts doing the active checks because it doesn't receive an update from the Distributed Hosts. I am aware this is what should be happening and it is working great. Is there a way to disable the freshness check for all the services for a host just like you can for active checks? I know if I shut off receiving passive checks for one service this disables the freshness checks. Has someone configured a patch or know how to activate this feature to disable passive checks for all services on a host through the Nagios cgi.

Last time I looked, the Oracle Instant Client (or whatever it's called, the lightweight one) didn't include tnsping which is required by the plugin. You probably need to install the full Oracle client. It's been a while since I worked with Oracle so forgive me if I get the names slightly wrong and for all I know Oracle may have changed the spec of what you get with the client now. Wolfgang Barth's book published by NoStarch Press has a section with an example showing how to monitor Oracle using the instant client. If you have quite a few checks to run, I would put the plugin on the Oracle server (which presumably already has the client) and use a script with send_nsca to send passive results back to Nagios. 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 would say that if the host is being rebooted, that should be a scheduled outage. You should submit a scheduled outage in Nagios for the period around the time the reboot is going to happen, then during this time the notifications will not be sent. There are plenty of scripts available on nagiosexchange.org which allow you easily to automate this in cron for outages which are scheduled for the same time each day/week/whatever. I'm not 100% familiar with the logic of when host checks are done, but like you I've tried increasing the no. of retries for host checks to do the same thing and it hasn't worked for the same reason. If you really don't want to use scheduled outages, one way (which might not be the best way but would work) would be to use escalation. You could have the initial notification go to /dev/null and only send the escalation some minutes later to the real email or pager address. I take the view that if a server is being rebooted and it isn't scheduled I want to know about it. If someone runs a server in such a way that it is being rebooted willy-nilly, they don't deserve to have out of hours support for it! In that case I don't configure it to forward any notifications to our on-call team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 problem is, that I get within my 200 watched services often CRITICALS althought there is just a simple network-problem and not a REAL problem. This network-problem is normally gone at the next query. My first idea was to tell nagios via a config file, that it shall change it's status from OK to CRITICAL not before state SOFT 2. But I think this is not the way ...? Other ideas: - Is it possible to "tell" nagios that network-problems are not CRITICALS ? (Dangerous, because after a bunch of network problems you cannot tell if the service is still alive) - Or can you tell nagios always send two requests at nearly the same time.

Mai 2007 13:21 An: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: [Nagios-users] Status Change at SOFT 2 ? Dear list, as I manage a number of servers, which are quite remotely placed, via nrpe it often happens that one or the other service(s) of the watched servers will show errors due to network insuffency. Examples: - "SSL Handshake not completed ..." - "No response after ... seconds ..." So this service will fall into the state SOFT 1 - But after the next query the service is OK again. So I get many warnings/criticals which are not real problems of the machines. My question: Is there a possibility to change the state of a service not at the first fault (SOFT 1) but after the second fault (SOFT 2) - because then it will more likely be a real problem ... Or is there a possibility that I can configure nagios in that way that there has to be a second fault query of the same service before the state fo the service will fall from OK into SOFT 1 - and the status will change? Any hints? ThanX, Martin ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing.

We already have scheduled outages for these boxes for time when we can schedule outages. We're trying to cover the other 2 cases -- 1) where a host is rebooted to resolve a problem and 2) where calculating the day of the outage is too difficult. For #2, I mean, it would be something like "the last Sunday of a quarter at 2am". Nagios gives me to no ability to calculate a date. It's either a specific day of the week, or it isn't. Beyond that, we're generally talking about too many hosts to have these teams go into the interface and say "it's going to be down this Friday". That coupled with the fact that the team who does the reboots is another team entirely and doesn't use our Nagios system. Having Nagios just ignore host downtime (for certain hosts) that are less than a certain duration was considered a very attractive option. We have had discussions about knowing about a box going down and not knowing and the ones they don't want to know about are a subset of the whole (hundreds of boxes). And of course, they're Windows boxes, not something more stable and reliable :-) I hadn't though of the escalations options. I'll check that out. Thanks, Jim.

Have you considered using a web interface? I've had good success with Nagios Web Config which augments the existing interface. It requires PHP, MySQL and a little effort setting up but (IMHO) it's worth it (Nagios 2.x only): Caveat: I'm not sure if it'll import your existing hosts, services, etc. GroundWork Open Source will, but that's a pretty major change to make. Caveat 2: If you're heading down this track I'd recommend backups of the MySQL database prior to any large scale changes as it's very occasionally (twice in 12+ months) left our Nagios config files in an inconsistent state which prevents Nagios from running. Easily fixed though.

Keeping backward compatibility with the existing nsclient infrastructure which has not been configured to use passwords (can it?) has tied our hands there. Security is provided by specifying the IP of the nagios server in the nsclient++ config. Not ideal, but adequate for our environment. Of course we would be interested in any patches, I have to admit that I am especially interested in how the developer will be developing the WMI side of things. Not quite sure how we could use it tho..... On a more amusing note our internet filter has decided to block the nsclient++ website. nakednuns.org is a fun domain name but begging to be blocked.

After 3-4 weeks I have not yet seen any crashes. Our servers are currently on Servicepack 1. We also run nsclient on ~200 servers. I have seen nsclient crash when other services try to pinch it's port. Sophos AV was the main culprit. The NRPE functionality with nt_check backwards compatibility sold us on nsclient++, we are currently (slowly) upgrading all servers to nsclient++. I will of course post should we see any crashes. 1. more thing, I did note that the systray icon feature did not work for us - I guess it may be a bit flaky.

When I want to remove this downtime for the whole group, I have to remove each line separately which is cumbersome. I can't imagine that this is the only way to do it, there must be an easier way I'm overlooking. What I want to be able to do is: schedule downtime for a group (say a servicegroup containing 20 services) and remove it in the same manner (ie as a group, not as 20 seperate removals that each need a few clicks). Is this possible, or does someone know a tool or workaround that does this?

I get the same problems on SuSE Linux 10.2 with one exception: the diagram looks OK as far as I can see, boxes and connections between them, but the screen becoms so dark that it's difficult to see, and I cannot change background color. When I click on one of the background colors in the Navigate menu, nothing happens. I used wget to download the wrl file (e.g. wget http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/statuswrl.cgi) and saved the file as status.wrl and then opened it up in the freewrl client. Again, all the boxes are there with links between them, but error messages about url's not found. So I removed all the url definitions from the status.wrl file and it seems to work OK. Again, I couldn't change the background color using freewrl, so I edited the status.wrl and changed the color definition in there. I also picked a few of the URLs from the status.wrl file and verified that they are correct. Other than that, I have no idea as to how to solve this. Any one else?

Message-ID: <799bcdd00705160935r2d0237d0o1bc0900ec2b3bd92@mail.gmail.com> Hi all, disclaimer: I'm new here and new to Nagios, so please bear with me. I've searched and tried all lists, faq and whatnot to manage on my own, but to no avail. My goal (for now) is to make a dead simple nagios install: Server A runs nagios, does some basic localhost checks Server B runs nrpe daemon Server A runs a check_load command on Server B thorough nrpe I have done two separate installations from source on two different sets of servers, running on different networks and SuSE 10.1/9.2 in one case, Debian Unstable/Gentoo in the other. The error is identical on both sets of servers, so I have concluded it is not a OS related problem. Yes, you probably guessed it, it is the oh so common "Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'CPU Load' on host 'gerald' was out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exists.". Ok, so here are some details ("helena" is Server A, where nagios runs; "gerald" is Server B, where the nrpe daemon runs). All commands are run as the "nagios" user. nagios at helena:/$ /opt/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost returns "NRPE v2.8.1" just as it should nagios at helena:/$ /opt/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H gerald -c check_load returns a correct reply and I can see the two servers speaking by doing a tail -f /var/log/syslog on Server B: May 16 18:15:42 gerald nrpe[20766]: Connection from 192.168.1.10 port 29830 May 16 18:15:42 gerald nrpe[20766]: Host address is in allowed_hosts May 16 18:15:42 gerald nrpe[20766]: Handling the connection...

So, am I correct in assuming that nrpe is correctly running and functioning on both servers? In this case the nrpe daemon is running as a stand-alone daemon, but results are exactly the same when running under xinetd on the SuSE servers (first set of servers). When I launch nagios as a foreground process I see something interesting on the console: root at helena:~/custom_compiles/nrpe-2.8.1# /opt/nagios/bin/nagios /opt/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg Nagios 2.9 Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 04-10-2007 License: GPL Nagios 2.9 starting...

Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exists. See those errors from sh? The command line seems to have been stripped of the actual command and the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro lacks the leading "$"... Now, who/what is doing this to the command? I've checked and double checked my config files and believe they're correct. The relevant bits follow: commands.cfg: define command{ command_name check_nrpe command_line $USER1/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARGS1$ } nrpe.cfg (on Server B, "gerald"): command[check_load]=/opt/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20 resource.cfg: $USER1$=/opt/nagios/libexec gerald.cfg: define host{ use linux-server host_name gerald alias gerald address 192.168.1.200 } define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name gerald service_description CPU Load check_period 24x7 ; The service can be checked at any time of the day max_check_attempts 600 ; Re-check the service up to 4 times in order to determine its final (hard) state normal_check_interval 2 ; Check the service every 5 minutes under normal conditions retry_check_interval 1 ; Re-check the service every minute until a hard state can be determined contact_groups admins ; Notifications get sent out to everyone in the 'admins' group notification_options w,u,c,r ; Send notifications about warning, unknown, critical, and recovery events notification_interval 360 ; Re-notify about service problems every hour notification_period 24x7 ; Notifications can be sent out at any time check_command check_nrpe!check_load } As you can see not much have been changed from the basic installation instructions. Ideas anyone? :-( How can I configure nagios to provide more leads (debug info) than that miserable sh error above? Is the debug_file (and related) options a 3.0-onlyoption?

I installed Ubuntu 6.10 workstation and Nagios 3.0a4 yesterday using the quickstart guides. That all went well and I am now monitoring some services on the localhost. Now I would like to start monitoring some Windows hosts for the basics - cpu, memory, disk space. According to the documentation I should create a template file for Windows hosts and add the device names into it. Then I should create another config file to tell it what to monitor. I am not sure what files to create or modify and where to save them too. Can some one please point me to some decent documentation on how to set this up or send me some simple steps. I tried googling it but have not found any decent examples. Thank you! Kevin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. For instance, I'm graphing UPS battery voltages, load, frequency of my UPS. I'm graphing disk space usage for one of my servers. Again this is all reading from SNMP and using MRTG to create the graphs, which I then link into Nagios as external URLs and information. I hope this helps.

Tweak normal_check_interval and retry_check_interval to make them long enough to miss your network problems: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service 2. Use host/service dependencies to define and monitor the intermediate network gear causing your network problems: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#hostdependency http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#servicedependency As you didn't specify your version or whether you are talking about the web interface or notifications, the above assumes you are using Nagios 2.x and that you are talking only about soft status changes visible only in the web interface and not talking about hard state changes and notifications. -D ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Like you, I find it convenient to do so for mapping services to hostgroups versus doing so directly to hosts. In my configuration, I have a top-level hostgroup that defines hosts according to their physical location, e.g. a colo or data center. I then have the PING service configured against that top-level hostgroup. For more system/network gear specific service mappings, I define finer-grained hostgroups and map services to them. Here's an example, LNC and SCC are my two data centers: define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name LNC service_description PING check_command check_ping!5,20%!10,40% servicegroups LNC } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name SCC service_description PING check_command check_ping!200,20%!400,40% servicegroups SCC } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name LNC-linuxservers,SCC-servers service_description LOAD check_command check_remote_load!5,5,5!10,10,10 servicegroups LNC } -------------- next part -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Well, I use a lot of different plugins, especially for Linux. For my Windows boxen, I just use the stock SNMP installed through the usual Windows stuff along with some of these plugins on the Nagios side. http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_snmp.html I think you're confused about my approach. The way I do graphing, doesn't involve Nagios at all. I just use SNMP and MRTG which does the talking, then I link URLs into Nagios. Nagios doesn't actually process, create, or have anything to do with the graphs. The reason I mentioned my approach is being I think it's easy to setup and use. Everyone has a different way, though. I just happen to also do some checks across Nagios with the SNMP plugins I just listed since SNMP is already running on my hosts. If you're getting confused, you might also want to think about Cacti for this purpose. I've heard good things, and from what I understand it's easy to setup. Nagios for monitoring, and then cacti for reporting and showing pretty graphs. http://cacti.net/ A search on this list provided a thread about nagios2cacti. http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios2cacti/ Tools like NagiosGrapher might be able to assist you as well. There is definitely more than one way to do what you want, so you first have to determine which tool and method you like and want to use first. Do a search on this list for graph/nagiosgraph/nagiosgrapher etc. and many of your questions should already be answered. There's a ton of information already posted. I didn't mean to confuse you before. :) Regards, Max -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGS2S3HoeeepPau2ERAuZYAKCtsbg7U9UB3inB1jYRnnSWw5JCZwCfYZ0o 1+NZtRKxmpZyjoPZCvcpukY= =uATy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Everyone has a > different way, though. We use a similar setup, with MRTG for graphing and Nagios for alerting. MRTG can also retrieve data for graphing from the Nagios NSClient and NRPE agents (using the mrtg-pnsclient and mrtg-nrpe plugins) as well as via SNMP. You can set up Nagios to associate a URL with a host or service, which can point at the MRTG graphs. Similarly, if using MRTG with routers2 as the frontend, there is a Nagios plugin to allow Nagios status to be embedded in the MRTG frames. There are also plugins for Weathermap to allow it to read from both Nagios and MRTG (and Cacti, for which it was originally written). I don't use Cacti here because MRTG is simpler to set up, and is a good match for our requirements.

It's written for Nagios 2.6 if I recall, so may not include all the Nagios 3.0 functionality you need. I haven't looked at Nagios 3.0 yet myself so can't say if that will me much of an issue for you. The book can be purchased in .pdf or printed form (or both!) from the publishers' website. There are other books on Nagios which might be worth a try too, none of which I have read (yet) so I can't say one way or another if they are better or not. 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.

But, and I can not stress this enough, keep your config in some kinde of version control system. I personally use Subversion, but there are lots of others out ther (CVS, RCS, Bitkeeper, git, ...). This is especially true if more than one person edits the config.

The different graphs, PNP, MRTG do they store the perf. data in a database or logfile? When i look in the logfiles for nagios, it show only a single check for the perf. data per day. I am running Nagios with a daily rotating file. Is there a way to configure nagios to save the data several times i.e. every time it checks the service? If yes, is there anyway to use nagios logfile to get the data and showing that in graphs? I have been searching in the documentation/forums and mailing lists but cant find any answer for that.

I would recommend using Groundwork Monitor Open Source. I am currently using GWMOS version 4.5 - the current release is 5.0 http://richard.trezza.us/vmach/index.html What do you get ? A complete VMware virtual appliance built using CentOS 4.4, with full GUI configuration, integrated graphing of performance data. While some people might like building config files by hand, using a frontend GUI like Groundwork Monitor Open Source allows sysadmins to quickly deploy large numbers of services across large numbers of hosts, while reducing the possibility of typos / errors in hand coded config files.

I couldn?t find anything about it. The default behavior for Nagios is to only show users hosts/services for which they are listed as contacts. Assuming they each have their own logins, as long as you don't enable globals views in the cgi config, that's how it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 most frustrating thing I find with the web front ends - standard or nuvola - is the inability to affect multiple services/hosts at once, e.g., acknowledging several alarms at once. We are quite diligent about mapping dependencies and doing event correlation but there are still times when we have a flood of alarms. Acknowledging them one at a time is a killer.

Jason, would you be willing to share that script? I'm interested in building something similar that will query hosts in my NeDi MySQL DB and build Nagios config files from there.

Well, I use a lot of different plugins, especially for Linux. For my Windows boxen, I just use the stock SNMP installed through the usual Windows stuff along with some of these plugins on the Nagios side. http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_snmp.html I think you're confused about my approach. The way I do graphing, doesn't involve Nagios at all. I just use SNMP and MRTG which does the talking, then I link URLs into Nagios. Nagios doesn't actually process, create, or have anything to do with the graphs. The reason I mentioned my approach is being I think it's easy to setup and use. Everyone has a different way, though. I just happen to also do some checks across Nagios with the SNMP plugins I just listed since SNMP is already running on my hosts. If you're getting confused, you might also want to think about Cacti for this purpose. I've heard good things, and from what I understand it's easy to setup. Nagios for monitoring, and then cacti for reporting and showing pretty graphs. http://cacti.net/ A search on this list provided a thread about nagios2cacti. http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios2cacti/ Tools like NagiosGrapher might be able to assist you as well. There is definitely more than one way to do what you want, so you first have to determine which tool and method you like and want to use first. Do a search on this list for graph/nagiosgraph/nagiosgrapher etc. and many of your questions should already be answered. There's a ton of information already posted. I didn't mean to confuse you before. :) Regards, Max -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGS2S3HoeeepPau2ERAuZYAKCtsbg7U9UB3inB1jYRnnSWw5JCZwCfYZ0o 1+NZtRKxmpZyjoPZCvcpukY= =uATy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 16:19:53 -0400 From: "Kaplan, Andrew H."

MRTG can also retrieve data for graphing from the Nagios NSClient and NRPE agents (using the mrtg-pnsclient and mrtg-nrpe plugins) as well as via SNMP. You can set up Nagios to associate a URL with a host or service, which can point at the MRTG graphs. Similarly, if using MRTG with routers2 as the frontend, there is a Nagios plugin to allow Nagios status to be embedded in the MRTG frames. There are also plugins for Weathermap to allow it to read from both Nagios and MRTG (and Cacti, for which it was originally written). I don't use Cacti here because MRTG is simpler to set up, and is a good match for our requirements.

You learn a lot more about how nagios hangs together by making config files, running pre-flight checks and getting errors. You then correct the errors, normally a simple typo or an omitted name in another config file. This all builds a great understanding of Nagios.

But, and I can not stress this enough, keep your config in some kinde of version control system. I personally use Subversion, but there are lots of others out ther (CVS, RCS, Bitkeeper, git, ...).

The different graphs, PNP, MRTG do they store the perf. data in a database or logfile? When i look in the logfiles for nagios, it show only a single check for the perf. data per day. I am running Nagios with a daily rotating file. Is there a way to configure nagios to save the data several times i.e. every time it checks the service? If yes, is there anyway to use nagios logfile to get the data and showing that in graphs? I have been searching in the documentation/forums and mailing lists but cant find any answer for that. I am asking because i want to be sure i am research the right thing, either use nagios logfile for showing the perf. data graph or install an add-on to be able to do it. - Palle ----------------------- This thread is located in the archive at this URL: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?&tx_maillisttofaq_p i1[showUid]=1217 ------------------------------ Message: 26 Date: Thu, 17 May 2007 22:52:05 +1000 From: "Peter Edmonds" Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] front end tools for Nagios To: scubacuda at gmail.com Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <6b8cee7e0705170552m4766cd45iacca57e6020d88c7 at mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed On 5/17/07, RR wrote: > I'm relatively new to Nagios and am looking for cool front end tools to > managing the config files. I would recommend using Groundwork Monitor Open Source. I am currently using GWMOS version 4.5 - the current release is 5.0 http://richard.trezza.us/vmach/index.html What do you get ? A complete VMware virtual appliance built using CentOS 4.4, with full GUI configuration, integrated graphing of performance data. While some people might like building config files by hand, using a frontend GUI like Groundwork Monitor Open Source allows sysadmins to quickly deploy large numbers of services across large numbers of hosts, while reducing the possibility of typos / errors in hand coded config files.

I couldn?t find anything about it. The default behavior for Nagios is to only show users hosts/services for which they are listed as contacts. Assuming they each have their own logins, as long as you don't enable globals views in the cgi config, that's how it works. ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 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: <628067.11494.qm@web32104.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hi Mark, I've been testing Nagios, with not a huge amount of servers, but doing some stress testing with pasive services pushing lots of service_checks_data to the central instance installed in a Xen VM, and nothing seems to be worrying about the VM performance. Hope it helps.

I just answered a similar question on the smokeping mailing list. I run smokeping and MRTG in a VMware VM on ESX server. No problems at all. Nagios runs on a separate VM on the same server, also no issues, including with time. As long as your ESX server uses NTP, I don't think you should have any issues.

The host's clock is set to ntp, then the VM is set to the host. I'm pretty sure you need to make sure you have vmware-tools installed on the client system. 1. Run the vmware tools. 2. Add tools.syncTime = true to the /servername/.vmx file. 3. Add this to /boot/grub/grub.conf: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/hda2 *clock=pit* 4.

When it comes to install application like Apache or Nagios, I prefer to compile them myself so that I've the power to (de)select everything I want. For those that don't want their package management software to get in the way I suggest Slackware. You get the bare minimum, and then you can do whatever you want with it :) What I don't like about many distros is that they try to support everything and in the end it get bloated no matter what you really need. You can do everything you want with Slackware but you'll have to do it yourself. On the good side you end up with a very lean and fast OS no matter what you're doing with it.

See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/perfdata.html Put simply, recording of performance data is optional - if you want to use it, you must enable it (globally and for each service for which you want to gather performance data). When enabled, performance data is gathered each time the plugin is run. The performance data can be written to a log file (not the normal nagios log file) and/or Nagios can execute a script to handle the performance data each time a plugin is run. In the case of PNP, there is a perl script which creates/updates a round-robin database (http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/) for each service. 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.

Message-ID: <001201c7995d$9fde9040$bdac38a6@na.dsmain.com> Fedora Core6 - Nagios 2.9 - Plugin 1.4.7 / NSClient++ Hi to all, I have now been testing Nagios for 3 weeks, it sure takes a lot of documentation reading. We are up running good and monitoring stats on a few win servers. I need some good advice on Graphs, because we want to monitor performance data. Basically we want to monitor 99.9% windows servers not using SNMP. We use NSClient++ on Win servers, what Graph is recommended to use in order to get historical trends/reports? The graph recommended what performance data can be showed ? Is it able to show all data that can be checked by the plugins? Do I need any other client/plugin than NSClient++. I cannot use SNMP, that is closed. Thankfull for advice and tips. - Palle -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Previously the drive had filled up, which did some nasty things to mysql it seems, and when I fixed that problem, something had become corrupted that wasn't readily visible. I suspect that it was something in mysql that was the issue here. The reinstall fixed the issue and everything is working fine now.

There are probably differences between the environment you get under sudo and the one you get when Nagios runs the check, or nrpe may be timing out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 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.

For example, if I had one server and, say, installed OpenVZ and then made a Nagios template, fired up an instance of that template, and then bridged that instance to the network as if it were a "real" server. This would be similar to the VM app that's publicly shared on Nagios Exchange, although I think (from what little I know about VMware and OpenVZ) it would be extremely slow and not very scalable to multiple instances. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The easiest way to do this (and the recommended way in most of the Nagios docs I've seen) is to set up authentication in Apache's config files, rather than with a .htaccess file. You might look there. You have a couple options here. One would be to configure authentication, then make sure the user you're logging in as is a contact on the hosts and services you want to see. The other would be to allow any user to see everything, and instructions for that are contained in the example cgi config file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

On the host page, the "host commands", including such commands as "Disable checks of all services on this host" and "Disable notifications for all services on this host" are not working most of the time. I see the commands appear in the /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd file, but they do not take effect... most of the time. I saw the commands fail at first, then they worked two times back to back, then they stopped working again. As far as I know, the configuration changes were all made prior to me trying commands. I only configured the system once. The commands are not piling up, I usually only see one or two comamnds in the file, just now there was one from an hour ago, and another I added just now (to see if they were being erased), but none of the commands from this morning. So something is waking up and removing the commands, and twice it execured them. When they were executed, it was quickly. Can someone walk me through the steps taken to process this file? What runs the programs, what clears the file? This is a vmware ubuntu host, and I have the time being frequently corrected because of excessive time drift, so could that be screwing something up? I also run cacti, and I correct the time every 5 minutes, 1 minute before cacti polls, and the time adjustments are on the order of 0 to 3 seconds typically. Could that be contributing to the problem? I would have searched the forums first, but nagios.meulie.net is down at the moment... And googling for half an hour didn't help. Thanks in advance for any help!

I guess I've misunderstood something here ?

The genericstable approach should probably work if set up correctly, as would adding a "From" header to outgoing mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 simple act of you 'viewing' the commands in the pipe removes them so nagios never sees them. Could that be your problem? Also, make sure you don't have multiple nagios daemons running. -- 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 would define a new check command with the extra option and name it check_http_401 for example. I always prefer to leave the examples as they are. If you redefine them you will be bitten later. Then the rest would be rather obvious. Much like: define command { command_name check_http_url command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ } define command { command_name check_https_url command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -S -u $ARG2$ } define command { command_name check_https_cert command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -S -C $ARG2$ } Hugo. -- hvdkooij at vanderkooij.org http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ This message is using 100% recycled electrons.

I want to show this in some nice graphs. After some research I found Nagiosgrapher could be the right tool, and another user told me I could use Nagiosgrapher without SNMP. In order to install NagiosGrapher I need to install RRD tools, and someone told me that RRD only uses SNMP. SNMP is not an option here. Please if someone could help me clarify this. Can I use NagiosGrapher even though we cannot use SNMP to monitor? Thanks, Palle -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If anyone has information on this I would appreciate it. Thank you -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net I am running a Distributed Nagios configuration. On each of my passive service checks I am also doing freshness checks just encase the distributed host goes down and can't run the check. I am able to log into the distributed hosts Web Interface and shut off active checks if I don't want to run checks for a temporary amount of time on a specific hosts and it is service with one click to disable active checks for all services. This works with out any problems but once my freshness checks is hit the Centralized Nagios hosts starts doing the active checks because it doesn't receive an update from the Distributed Hosts. I am aware this is what should be happening and it is working great. Is there a way to disable the freshness check for all the services for a host just like you can for active checks? I know if I shut off receiving passive checks for one service this disables the freshness checks. Has someone configured a patch or know how to activate this feature to disable passive checks for all services on a host through the Nagios cgi.

I found the nxe project (http://nxe.sourceforge.net) which seems right what I need but I couldn?t get it working. My perl skills are quite low and the last release of nxe is from 2003 year, so there are many incompatibilities with the current nagios config files. (Im using last stable nagios version, 2.9) ?does anyone know any application/script similar to nxe to export the nagios reports?? I couldn?t find anything on google or nagiosexchange.org. many thanks in advance. p.d.

Hoststatus and Servicestatus tables are being populated as expected, however, programstatus is never being populated. All in all, NDO seems to be functioning fine, as programstatus table not populating seems to be the only problem. How do I fix the problem so that programstatus table is properly updated? Currently, I am spoofing an entry into this table so that Nagvis plugin will run. On the nagvis list, there seemed to be a small amount of confusion as to which NDO version is compatible with Nagios2.9 in conjunction with Nagvis 1.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nagios Exchange has a plugin named check_tacacs_plus.pl that makes use of the Authen::TACACSPlus module from CPAN. I am not sure these will be helpful in checking a Secure ACS that uses Windows/AD authentication. That said, since I am very ignorant about TACACS+ I am probably wrong in thinking that ASCII, CHAP or MS-CHAP (the alternatives supported by Authen::TACACSPlus) passwords don't sound right for Windows/AD authentication. check_tcp on port 49 is a useful standby but hopefully there are other, non SNMP, alternatives. Thank you, Yours sincerely.

A TACACS+ server's password database should be invisible to a TACACS client. The server's purpose is to authenticate in a way that makes such details irrelevant. I would create a separate user for this with little to no authorization... You just need to test the authentication server. The user and password will be stored somewhere in plain text so that the script using Authen::TACACSPlus will know how to connect to the server. ASCII, CHAP or MS-CHAP is just part of the TACACS protocol. So you need to know how this is configured on the server. This is only used between client and server, not between the server and the password DB. Hope this helps!

(try running the command defined in commands.cfg manually; you will have to manually expand the macros.) Could you send a relevant part of the history for that host? Also, looks like you're running regularly scheduled checks. Is that what really you want? Nagios 3 support running host checks in parallel and host state caching, but in Nagios 2 you will likely not benefit from running regularly scheduled host check and their serialized nature can easily cause service latency issues.

If anyone has information on this I would appreciate it. Thank you -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net I am running a Distributed Nagios configuration. On each of my passive service checks I am also doing freshness checks just encase the distributed host goes down and can't run the check. I am able to log into the distributed hosts Web Interface and shut off active checks if I don't want to run checks for a temporary amount of time on a specific hosts and it is service with one click to disable active checks for all services. This works with out any problems but once my freshness checks is hit the Centralized Nagios hosts starts doing the active checks because it doesn't receive an update from the Distributed Hosts. I am aware this is what should be happening and it is working great. Is there a way to disable the freshness check for all the services for a host just like you can for active checks? I know if I shut off receiving passive checks for one service this disables the freshness checks. Has someone configured a patch or know how to activate this feature to disable passive checks for all services on a host through the Nagios cgi.

Worth checking out Cacti too, I use this to draw prettier graphs from the RRDs Nagiosgraph creates, that I can link out to separately - I think to link to the Nagiosgraph 'standard' graphs you have to give some access to the Nagios web interface, but this may very well just be down to how I set it up. ___________________________________________________________________________ Glynn Seymour Network Consultant BBS EMEA RSU Bayer plc, UK __________________________________________________________________________ Bayer plc is registered in England under number 935048.

Plugins are run under the nagios user for security resons, running stuff under the user root is not a good idea. As for changeing ownership to files related to plugins, try useing sudo (man sudo).

There's also a mtrg installation lurking around that's plugged in to Nagios. We are considering upgrading. The goal is of the upgrade is better performance, but the features of 2.x would be an added bonus. Does anyone here have experience or advice on this? Can we expect an appreciable performance increase (in other words, is it worth it?) Assuming that it is, I could sure use some pointers on the upgrade itself. Can we (should we) consider upgrading to 2.9? What kind of issues are we likely to face? Is it necessary to upgrade in steps? If someone had suggestions or even just a referral to the appropriate docs, it would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

A less attractive aspect of this plugin is that the TACACS+ secret key needs to be known to the Nagios host. Having a separate (from production) key seems like a good idea but since the plugin accepts username and pw as options, they are visible to other users on the Nagios host (unless you use ePN or hack the plugin). I am grateful to the plugins authors (P Farmer et al) for this. Nice job. Thank you, Yours sincerely.

In my experience the first thing to change (if you haven't done so already) is to use the check_icmp or check_fping plugin rather than check_ping. This is especially important for host checks. We had a discussion about this only recenty in this email list. You might like to search the archive to read a bit more about it. The problem with check_ping is that it won't complete until all of the pings are done - if you have it configured to try 10 pings at 1 second intervals then the check will take 10 seconds to complete. The other problem is that Nagios won't do anything else while it is running host checks. Thankfully Nagios doesn't usually run host checks very often, but if you have a few hosts down then these check_ping host checks can quickly cripple your system. I'm told that in Nagios 3 the nagios server is able to run host checks in parallel, so this should become less of a problem. Do you have a particular problem with latency?

What are the specifics of where you are now and where you want to be with regard to performance (x number of y type of checks at z interval; current latency and execution time information, etc)? What symptoms are you seeing if you're experiencing problems? I'd start with #1, #3, #7 ,#8, #9 and #10 of the Performance Tuning documentation.

I am also in the process of rewriting all my plugins in C but you will have to wait a couple of weeks until they get in a stable release, and I'm not sure they will be really faster than the perl version with embeded perl + perl caching. However, they will also include a snmp index caching method which will for sure speed up the execution time (first tests divide by 2 or 3 the execution time on big switches). You can download the alpha release here : http://nagios.manubulon.com/ nagios-plugins-snmp-0.5.2.tgz . Caching appears in 0.5.3 which will be available tonight (CEST time).

This one's come up about a bajillion times on the list, so check the archives. Make sure you've checked the FAQs (http://nagios.org/faqs/), too. Once you've done that, come back here with the error messages you get when configuring and/or compiling, and someone can probably tell you what you missed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Have you looked at the Nagios Extended Status Map "Nexsm"? http://nexsm.gridshield.net/Overview.html It's not the easiest app to install, but imo is well worth it once you do get it working. 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.

An average execution time for a plugin of 3.6 seconds is awful! See if you can find which plugin is taking so long and fix whatever that problem is. My average execution time is more like 0.4 seconds and I only have one processor! You don't have something screwy wrong with the LAN connection on your Nagios server do you? Something like having it set to half-duplex when it should be full-duplex?

If all of your checks are 10 pings for example, that would mean a 10 seconds average execution time for example. That's acceptable and expected. Latency is more concerning since it means that nagios isn't being allowed to run checks when it's supposed to. This is most often caused by a low max_concurrent_checks, regularly scheduled host checks or host checks happening a lot in general. -- 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.

To point you in the right direction: Unix/Linux (and some other OSes too) keep a record of different time settings regarding to files. You can for instance choose to display the time a file is created, the time a file is last modified and the time a file is last accessed. In your case, I think the modification time should do the trick. You can write a plugin that checks the difference between the modification_time and the real time.

What I want to do is check processes running on various boxes using the following logic when a non-OK state is returned: Using active checks, I want Nagios to follow the standard logic, changing into a SOFT state and upon the max_check_attempts reached, going into a hard state. With passive checks though, I would like to force Nagios into a HARD state right away (so notifications are sent out immediately). I can't figure out how to either by-pass the max_check_attempts, increment it to the max so it switches states right away or force into into a hard state right away. I looked into writing a script but I can't find any way to pass that info back into Nagios either. Does anyone know of a way that this can be achieved? Please let me know. Thanks.

Are you using both active and passive checks on the same service? If not, setting "is_volatile" on your passive checks should do what you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 define almost all of mine that way. It's a huge time and maintenance saver to do it that way. Here is a quick example: define service{ hostgroup_name NiagaraVPNGW service_description Niagara_SSH check_command check_ssh use NiagService } define service{ hostgroup_name NiagaraInetRouters service_description Niagara_Inet_Ping check_command check_ping!1000.0,60%!3000.0,100% use NiagService } Hope this helps - John -- John A.

I had a couple of passive service checks but now somebody wants more I decided it was a waste of time to make little wrapper scripts for all of them, so I've made a generic one that I can use for any plugin. Finally I got round to making new passive checks just a one liner. All you have to do is run ./nsca_wrapper -H HostName -S ServiceName -C ./check_plugin and it will send the result as a passive check to your nagios server. Full Details and the script are available at http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=980&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=70%3A10 As usual feedback and requests are welcome at this email address. -h -- Hari Sekhon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

One thing I'm trying to figure out is how to not get so many notifications. When the host goes down, I receive a notice about that, plus that all its services are now unavailable, and then the same amount of notifications when the host is again available. What I would like is to get a single notification about the host outage and then one for when the host is in service. Is there an easy way to set this up? I've been looking at service dependencies, and wondering if this is the best way to handle this situation I'd love to hear from the group on possible solutions.

Nagios does this automagically if you have a working host check_command. See the first section of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html. Receiving a host down notification and notifications about services on that host would be very unusual. Can you post a sample host and service definition that exhibits this behavior? Can you verify that you don't have multiple nagios daemons running? -- 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.

Nagios already has check_http and check_curl plugins but I can only validate index.php. I was thinking about test tool called WebInject. It has a Nagios plugin http://www.webinject.org/plugin.html . You can create custom xml config files for different deployments and check if specific function of web application is working. Here my problem comes. How to login to drupal using WebInject and howto navigate on the website. Any ideas are welcome.

"Received" line has nothing to do with web browsing. Though, the site is down. Looks like there is an absolute path for an include file, that should be a relative path.

Someone at the web hosting company decided it would be a great idea to move the Nagios site to another server (with telling me beforehand) late Friday night / early Saturday morning. I guess they didn't stop to check to see if things still worked afterwards (they didn't). And of course the tech staff were off for the 3-day weekend, so there was no way I could have them fix it. I moved the site to another provider. DNS changes should be finished propagating in the next few hours. I lost most email that was directed at me over the holiday weekend, but I guess that's not a bad thing. :-) Ethan Galstad, Nagios Developer --- Email: nagios at nagios.org Website: http://www.nagios.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 the command line, if I use the same command as Nagios is supposed to run (specified in the commands.cfg and I monitored the commands passed to check_procs plugin), I get the correct number of processes running (2). When run as an active check initiated by Nagios, in the web interface on the other hand, once it gets the results from the service check back, even though it passes the same arguments to the check_procs plugin, I always get 1 extra result (so 3 processes running), as if the check_procs plugin runs two different ps|grep commands and doesn't exclude itself when initiated by Nagios. Seem ridiculous but that's the only conclusion I could come up with. Anyone experience the same thing?

How about this alternative (just trying to throw possibilities out there). Are you able to slightly change the output message sent to Nagios through the passive check? Maybe a variable that gets auto incremented to show the message number or something simple like that? If so, you can take advantaged of state stalking: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/stalking.html Hopefully that'll help. :) ________________________________ From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of chiel Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 9:34 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Send notification if state doesn't change That is not execly what I mean.

Nagios 2.x forks twice when it run a binary check* so maybe you're getting the first fork in your results? (*) Embedded Perl checks forks once and in Nagios 3 you can disable the double-fork.

Here's an example showing how it works: In this example: - check frequency is 5 minutes - notification interval is 6 minutes On a service failure you would get: 0m Service enters HARD CRITICAL state 0m Nagios sends notification 5m Service still in HARD CRITICAL state 5m Nagios not sending notifications because less than 6 minutes have passed 6m Nothing happens because the next check is scheduled at 10 minutes 10m Service still in HARD CRITICAL state 10m Nagios sends notification For passive checks you should enable freshness checking so that if no checks comes in Nagios will keep things going. If you really want one notification per passive check and/or your passive checks only comes in when there's a problem (ex. SNMP traps) then what you'll want is to set-up a volatile service. With volatile services you can still play with active/passive and freshness settings to change the exact behavior, so I recommend that you experiment yourself until you get the desired results.

Nagios is configured to use authentication, but haven't configured your webserver correctly to authenticate users, or 2. The user you're logging in as isn't listed as a contact on any of the hosts or services you're trying to view. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 configured Nagios 2.9, but I have some doubts about the notifications. I need some different types of notifications: - by e-mail - by SMS by Internet - by SMS by a GMS modem I created 6 commands (notify-by-email, host-notify-by-email, notify-by-sms-internet, host-notify-by-sms-internet, notify-by-sms-modem, host-notify-by-sms-modem). The problem is that not all services have to use all 3 notifications. Some services have to use the e-mail notification and never use the SMS notification, other services have to use the e-mail notification for all error states and the SMS notification only for critical errors and other services have always to use the e-mail and SMS notifications for all errors. How to make this quite strange configuraton? Thank you very much for your help! Bye. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Short of using check_disk with a string of -X (--exclude-type) arguments or writing a custom plugin, is there a way to monitor disk usage for mounts of a specified fs type (in this case, NFS)? The NFS mounts in this case are rented, NAS'd-out SAN space, so I can't monitor the source. It seems like it may be possible with -p, but I haven't gotten it to recognize any sort of wildcard. Why does --exact-match exist if -p won't accept partial paths/partitions or wildcards: -E, --exact-match For paths or partitions specified with -p, only check for exact paths (I am using check_disk 1.79 packaged with nagios-plugins 1.4.5) Any ideas?

I have a similar configuration at my office. The trick is all in how you set up the contacts. Set up your contacts with the notification levels that they require separately, and than put them in a group together, something like this: Define contact { Contact_name User-Email-Warn Service_notification_options w,r Service_notification_commands notify-by-email ...} Define contact { Contact_name User-SMS-Critical Service_notification_options c Service_notification_commands notify-by-sms-internet ...} Remember that both of those contacts are the SAME user, but one gets only warning (and recovery's) by email, and the other gets only criticals by sms. Now you put both entries for this user into one contact group: Define contactgroup{ Contactgroup Email-and-SMS Members User-Email-Warn, User-SMS-Critical ...} Hope this helps.

The mails by shacky and Janet Post got me to thinking about a thread regarding "best common practice" when it comes to user accounts. We currently have 370 hosts and 3740 services. They can be sorted into some 60 groups of related servers. In total, we have about 70 real people which manage different sets of servers. As for the structuring of notification and web site access, we do the following: - Every person gets three different contact objects: one for web site access named firstname.lastname, one for email notification (same, with -email postfix) and one for sms/pager notification (-sms postfix). All of them have different notify-by scripts (or, in the case of the first, notification_optiosn set to "n"). - Every set of people that is responsible for a set of machines and services is organized into a group, which is expanded into three contactgroups by the above scheme. So, for example, there is DNSAdmins, DNSAdmins-email and DNSAdmins-sms. This has the advantage of notifying some of the DNSAdmins by SMS, some by email etc. Also, we can let people use the web interface without having to notify them, yet they don't see *all* hostgroups and services. For the different hosts and services, said hostgroups are used. If a contact is completely unused (for example, one of the admins never gets an SMS, even though he might be able to view several sets of machines), it is commented out but left in the config. This kind of setup, while immensely flexible, leads to quite some bloat in the config. We currently have 183 contacts and 109 contact_groups - not counting the commented-out stuff. I don't know of any better way of accomplishing what we need, but I'm sure others have found different and/or better ways to do it. So, how do you manage your user accounts?

I'll try to explain just a little bit what I did since I suffered the same situation: 1) Define a new service in Nagios Engine for monitoring non-local disks, as follows: define service{ use local-service ;Name of service template to use host_name [the servers in which you have nrpe installed] service_description Remote check disk check_command check_nrpe!check_hda1!20%!10%!/ } 2) I used check_hda1 instead of check_disk to identify the way I use this in the target machines. Then you need to include this type of call in your target machine's nrpe.cfg file, as follows (at the very end): # The following examples use hardcoded command arguments... command[check_hda1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/hda1 This way, nrpe tells the target machine to call it's /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk command when the Nagios core engine calls check_nrpe!check_hda1 on this target machine. Hope it helps, and most important that you understand what I tried to tell you ;-) Regards, Sebastian Ganame -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Jonathan Murray Sent: Mi?rcoles, 30 de Mayo de 2007 07:49 p.m. To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] NRPE: Command 'check_disk' not defined I've been staring at this for a long time, likely pilot error, but maybe someone has suggestions or sees something I don't...thanks.

I'm still not getting it, or I'm doing something incorrectly. I have other commands set up the same way, and they work: for example, on nagios "engine" in checkcommands.cfg: # 'check_disk_c1' define command{ command_name check_disk_c1 command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disk_c1 } in services.cfg: define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name varuna service_description Check /raid/c1 space retry_check_interval 2 contact_groups linux-admin notification_options w,c,r check_command check_disk_c1 } on machine I am trying to monitor, in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg: command[check_disk_c1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /raid /c1 On the web interface, in the status column I see the following: varuna Check /raid/c1 space OK 05-31-2007 12:21:11 2d 5h 56m 0s 1/3 DISK OK - free space: /raid/c1 114527 MB (16% inode=99%): So in this case, which is the same as the earlier description, it works. Here the machine being monitored is a debian system, but I didn't think that would make such a difference. I have also set up the command as you specified, or how I interpreted what you specified, I hope I was accurate here: Nagios "engine" in services.cfg: define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name paleo service_description check disk sda5 retry_check_interval 2 contact_groups linux-admin notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_nrpe!check_disk_sda5!20%!10%!/ } In the above, I don't know what that / is doing after the !, but it was in your mail, so I thought it was needed. in checkcommands.cfg: 'check_disk_sda5' define command{ command_name check_disk_sda5 command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disk_sda5 } On the machine I am trying to get information on the disk sda5, command[check_disk_sda5]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda5 It would seem here that on the machine being monitored, the command "check_disk_sda5" would use the local plugin /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk with the options: -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda5 run locally, this is indeed what it seems to do. However, the server doesn't seem to use the command I have placed in the nrpe.cfg file. On the web interface, this returns, in the "Status" column: NRPE v2.7.1 What do you use for your entries in you checkcommands.cfg for your commands? I was under the impression that I had to define the commands there and nagios would use them. Perhaps these questions are getting too basic?

The only checkcommand you should have for nrpe redirection is the following one: define command{ command_name check_nrpe command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ } This tells the system that for each service defined with a check_command like ?check_nrpe!...? it should be redirected using that line. After this server side configuration, you should only define the check_disk_sda5 in your target system (the one that would end up reporting the metric), and it should work. Hope you make it with these information.

I have also set up the command as you specified, or how I interpreted what you specified, I hope I was accurate here: Nagios "engine" in services.cfg: define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name paleo service_description check disk sda5 retry_check_interval 2 contact_groups linux-admin notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_nrpe!check_disk_sda5!20%!10%!/ } In the above, I don't know what that / is doing after the !, but it was in your mail, so I thought it was needed. in checkcommands.cfg: 'check_disk_sda5' define command{ command_name check_disk_sda5 command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disk_sda5 } On the machine I am trying to get information on the disk sda5, command[check_disk_sda5]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda5 It would seem here that on the machine being monitored, the command "check_disk_sda5" would use the local plugin /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk with the options: -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda5 run locally, this is indeed what it seems to do. However, the server doesn't seem to use the command I have placed in the nrpe.cfg file. On the web interface, this returns, in the "Status" column: NRPE v2.7.1 What do you use for your entries in you checkcommands.cfg for your commands? I was under the impression that I had to define the commands there and nagios would use them. Perhaps these questions are getting too basic?

Start with e-mail alerts, add text messaging later. You don't want to be getting loads of text messages on your cell phone at 3-4am because some huge backup job is hogging the network and temporarily caused some pings to time out, for example. Personally, to start out, I set up a separate e-mail account and set up alerts for everything that I could think of to go to that one account (if I had had an IP-aware toaster or refrigerator, I would have put that in there as well) this also served to "exercise" the system. After a week or so of not getting false positives from some alert, I moved it over to notifying "real" accounts and added escalation, then a bit after that, added text messaging. Some of the more frivolous tests I just took out or disabled. Some tests had to be "relaxed" a bit, for example longer ping timeout for a remote site on a slow DSL connection that gets flakey sometimes. For the text messaging, I set up the time window that is appropriate for the need i.e. only very critical stuff is going to wake me up in the middle of the night, a lot of other things I can find out about first thing in the morning when I check my e-mail. One guy I ended up removing from escalations later because he complained that it was "too much e-mail" :rolleyes: No matter how much advice you get, the process is still going to be "ad hoc" to some extent--you want Nagios to be aggressive enough to be useful, but not so aggressive that it is so annoying as to be counter-productive, but what those limits are is really subjective. It's kind of an in-joke in our group any time someone gets a text message it's the knowing look and, "Thank you, Nagios..." But it sure impresses the heck out of our customers when we call them to tell them that there is a problem and we are working on it and they haven't even noticed the problem yet, they just think we are psychic.
