Hi Max
Pardon a newbie, i installed Nagios 3 weeks ago and i am still learning

You say that you are reading from SNMP, are you still using check_nt
plugin in Nagios, or are you using any different plugin?

No need to apologize.
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. :)

Max

Hi there -
I am running Nagios 2.8, and I wanted to add a statistics collection
component
to it in order to check the usage of disk space on one of our servers.
The plan was to use APAN because we had used it on a Nagios 1.3 system.
Will APAN work on Nagios 2.8, or can anyone suggest an alternative to
APAN?
Thanks.

I'm using v2.8, is it possible to customise the notification messages ?
I have some which are sms and they are being truncated.
Ideally I'd like separate messages formats for mail and sms.

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.

I'm relatively new to Nagios and am looking for cool front end tools to
managing the config files.
Of these, which ones do other users recommend?
http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/nagiosweb.htm
Or are there other good ones out there that might be a bit better,
particularly for beginners?

I heartily recommend PNP for graphing the performance data from Nagios.
http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp_en
It's very easy to setup and use, and doesn't use much disk space.

I found Wolfgang Barth's book 'Nagios' published by No Starch Press
extremely useful as it explains the concepts very well. 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

I was looking for an API to monitor network and host stats such as CPU

Any of the billion or so SNMP Java client libraries works well on Linux
boxes... Though it's not clear what you're trying to accomplish here,
and it sounds like you may be asking for something outside the scope of
what Nagios does.

Im using Monarch (http://freshmeat.net/projects/monarch/) and it works
great.
I haven?t tried any other similar soft so I can?t compare.

I agree,
I feel it is much better to understand the layout and structure to the
config files than to hide it all behind a gui type front end.
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.
And well who needs cool, vi is brilliant and in its on way is "cool" as
you get it on most flavours of unix/linux.
Well that's my six shillings worth

I think my four most favourite cool front ends (in no particular order)
are:
NEXSM: http://nexsm.gridshield.net/Overview.html
PNP: http://www.ederdrom.de/doku.php/nagios/pnp_en
Nagvis: http://www.nagvis.org/doku.php
The nuvola theme:
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Image_Packs.75.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5B
p_view%5D=252
All of these are to do with visualising the status of hosts and
services though, not configuration. I'm firmly in the "use vi" camp
on that one (or use gedit if vi scares you).
cheers,
Jim

Has anyone found a way to use nagios to monitor open files on a windows

hi all
I am using the last stable nagios version and i works great but I can?t
find
the way to configure different views for different user.
There are many developers on my office and I would like that when they
log on
the nagios web interface they just can see the machines they use for
work.
??Is there any way to do this with nagios or with other tool?? I
couldn?t find
anything about it.
many thanks in advance for any help.
Pablo

Same here, vim. 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.

Tobias

Thanks for all help!
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.

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.

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.
