Make sure that the VML file extension is registered to the application that is going to be used to view the VML files. Up until XP, this was done from the Windows Explorer Folder Options > File Types. - Jaimie Livingston (jaimielives) ----------------------- This thread is located in the archive at this URL: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[showUid]=6016 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

THe install process is a msi installer just double click and start the service, and the configuration files are documented internally.

We have 20 Nagios processes which perform active checks (average 650 hosts per process with 15 minutes check interval) and 1 Nagios process which accepts passive checks (all the processes currently running on a single server HP DL580, 4 dual core CPU, 8GB RAM). All the processes configured with use_large_installation_tweaks option. All the processes have 3.0b5 version. There are no problems with active processes, all the checks are in time. But the central process have the problems: 1. External command bufer constantly grows up (current limit is 131072). 2. There are a lot of files in checkresults directory (every file probably have larger size then previous). 3. Host status updates are out of time. I think the the main problem is in the check_result_reaper_frequency=10 and max_check_result_reaper_time=60 parameters in the central process. Could you please recommend me proper values for this parameters?

You asked the wrong question. To use snmp, refer to std snmp documentation on running external commands with oids and then call the oid. It's not as easy as nrpe and nsca which is why I recommend those instead.

All of them. Services too. Well, I downgraded from 3.0b1 to 2.10 stable to see if going that route would help. I got it all set up again 2 days ago, and it's been going fine until now. Not sure exactly what is going on, but something is definitely wrong here. The daemon is running, and I can actively ping everything from outside of nagios. Nagios user can ping stuff too. Permissions are correct on the folders, I just read that documentation over again to double check. I'm just using the standard check-host-alive command to ping the hosts. Only one has a service defined to it, check disk usage through snmp. Any advice on this would be wonderful. Nagios is a great asset to our company, just a great "pain in the asset" if you will, as of late. Stephen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

With nagios-2.x, every host must have at least one service defined for it or it will never be checked. Define a simple ping service check if that's all you care about. You should not be performing regularly scheduled host checks with nagios-2.x as it wasn't designed for it and performance will be miserable (host checks are sequential and stop all other nagios processing). 2.x is very different than 3.x in this regard. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Nagios says that if I installed the Widows Agent for Nagios on the windows machine properly that I will:see a new icon appear in the system tray. It will be a yellow circle with a black M inside it. Is the systems tray the box in the bottom right hand of your computer screen? And once I have edited the NSC.INI file should I restart the windows box for it to start monitoring it? Below are the steps I am working on and I will highlight the ones I am confused about: Installing the Windows Agent Before you can begin monitoring private services and attributes of Windows machines, you?ll need to install an agent on those machines. I recommend using the NSClient++ addon, which can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nscplus. These instructions will take you through a basic installation of the NSClient++ addon, as well as the configuration of Nagios for monitoring the Windows machine. 18 1. Download the latest stable version of the NSClient++ addon from http://sourceforge.net/projects/nscplus 2. Unzip the NSClient++ files into a new C:\NSClient++ directory 3. Open a command prompt and change to the C:\NSClient++ directory 4. Register the NSClient++ system service with the following command: nsclient++ /install 5. Install the NSClient++ systray with the following command (?SysTray? is case-sensitive): nsclient++ SysTray 6. Open the services manager and make sure the NSClientpp service is allowed to interact with the desktop (see the ?Log On? tab of the services manager). If it isn?t already allowed to interact with the desktop, check the box to allow it to. 7. Edit the NSC.INI file (located in the C:\NSClient++ directory) and make the following changes: Uncomment all the modules listed in the [modules] section, except for CheckWMI.dll and RemoteConfiguration.dll Optionally require a password for clients by changing the ?password? option in the [Settings] section. Uncomment the ?allowed_hosts? option in the [Settings] section. Add the IP address of the Nagios server to this line, or leave it blank to allow all hosts to connect. Make sure the ?port? option in the [NSClient] section is uncommented and set to ?12489? (the default port). 8. Start the NSClient++ service with the following command: 19 nsclient++ /start 9. If installed properly, a new icon should appear in your system tray. It will be a yellow circle with a black ?M? inside. 10. Success! The Windows server can now be added to the Nagios monitoring configuration... Very Respectfully, Christy M.

So in services.cfg I have define service{ name generic-service ; Generic service name active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks are enabled passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are enabled/accepted parallelize_check 1 ; Active service checks should be parallelized (Don't disable) obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess over this service (if necessary) check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT check service 'freshness' notifications_enabled 1 ; Service notifications are enabled event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler is enabled flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE! } define service{ use generic-service name basic-service is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 5 normal_check_interval 3 retry_check_interval 1 notification_interval 15 notification_period 24x7 register 0 } I then have as just one example: define service{ use basic-service name check-site4 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_http!site.com!20!"Home" register 0 } My question is, you notice that I have the name as check-site4, and then later on in the services.cfg I call up that checksite-4. Is this the correct way? Do I need to define a service for each host and then later on call it by name to execute the service check? Is this a bad way of going about it?

It appears not. As soon as one string is not found it goes critical. You could always write a custom plugin to test your websites, or much more easily a shell wrapper plugin to call the first, if it fails, call the second, and only if that fails go critical... not perfect though, a better/custom plugin would serve you better. -h Hari Sekhon Jerad Riggin wrote: > In that case, is there a way to specify more than one possible string, > so that for example if it can't find "Home", but it can find > "Checkout", it considers the host up? > > On 11/2/07, *Hari Sekhon* > wrote: > > yes you have to use a separate one for each site, how else would > you be > able to use a separate check?

Only template the common bits and put the unique bits in the service definition block with the hostname. You will need less blocks and have less redundancy in your configuration. Templates are only supposed to save you typing in the same lines again multiple times, not to become your religion for every check. You are writing more than you need for such basic stuff. -h Hari Sekhon Jerad Riggin wrote: > I think we're losing something in translation of me trying to tell you > what i'm doing.

It also will not work unless you have dont_blame_nrpe=1 in your nrpe.cfg on the remote host against which you are executing the nrpe call. I would recommend not passing args but instead defining more check_commands with the args already in them, this is more secure as it is more tightly controlled. -h ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The problem we are having is when one of our Linux Nagios servers goes down and doesn't send any results to the master Nagios server. When this happens and our 5 minute freshness hits it's threshold. We start running active checks because we didn't receive any passive updates from the server that went down. This sends a bunch of checks to the windows server to run tests and we start getting unknown status reports back to the master server with the result of "No output available from command". Does anyone know if there is a max connection on nrpe_nt or something else that maybe causing this?

I'm guessing you wrote the > plugin check_fs_space yourself, and only tested it as root, right? > I think this is a very generic problem among plugins, even those in the standard distribution's contrib dir, especially those written in perl, which is a real shame, cos I try to persuade people at work that people who know perl are usually really great, but they insist that python makes people write better code. I see plugins here and there of 150 lines of code, with practically no error checking, when really it should be at least twice that... they look like they were written in a real rush. I think we should all try to make our plugins more rock solid... they should be black box near perfect. I've made mistakes like everyone else who has written plugins, that's what revision numbers are for... ;-), but we should try to do better. I've just had to upgrade my plugins cos the check_ntp plugin had not quite the right output and sent it to stderr so I got No Output in Nagios. I've made this mistake myself before so I know that usually you would do this for ordinary programs, but Nagios doesn't catch the stderr. On this note, perhaps Nagios should catch both stdout and stderr and let program write to stderr as is more std in the programming world? -h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The standard Windows monitoring addons (nsclient, nsclient++, others) have the ability to check the running state of specific services. Your request doesn't seem special in that regard. If you're monitoring anything local about a windows machine now (disk, memory, cpu, etc), chances are you're already using something that supports it. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Here's an example of notification command (It's one line, please ignore line warps): command_line /bin/echo -e "From: $USER6$\nTo: $CONTACTEMAIL$\nSubject: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$\n\n$HOSTALIAS$: $SERVICEDESC$: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nPlugin output: $SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\n$SERVICEACTIONURL$" | sendmail -t -f $USER6$ -i $CONTACTEMAIL$ It has to follow the standard for SMTP emails (Headers, one blank line then the body). Note that the "From:" and "To:" headers have nothing to do with proper message delivery; message is only delivered to envelope TO addresses (sendmail last argument in this example) and bounces are sent back to the envelope FROM address (set with sendmail -f switch). In the example above I set the From Address (%USER6$) in both the message header and envelope, so that undeliverable bounces are sent back to that address instead of the local user on the server. There might be some additional sendmail configuration needed. I think you might have to add the Nagios user to the trusted users list to allow it forging the FROM headers. If you want to send external emails (i.e. pager emails, etc) your server's external IP should forward and reverse lookup properly in DNS (it doesn't have to be reachable from the outside though). If the external domain associated to the IP is different than the server's domainname then you will need to set up masquerading in sendmail as well.

You should install Nagios-plugins and nrpe on the remote Linux hosts, then set up check_nrpe to check the remote hosts. Unless you want to go the totally unsafe way the disk arguments will be set up on the remote server's NRPE config. This makes systems-wide change taking longer (you have to change the config on each server) but OTOH it can allow fine tuning the disk (and other) checks on servers while keeping a very simple Nagios config (ex. one disk check for all linux-based hostgroups). For simplicity I even check the local host trough NRPE as it avoid having a separate configuration for local checks.

Something that can help as well is having the host check return as fast as possible. On my servers I use check_icmp (faster than check_ping since it has native ICMP support), the check sends only one ping and timeout after one second (the minimum): # 'check_host-alive' command definition define command{ command_name check-host-alive command_line $USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 300.00,80% -c 500.00,100% -p 1 -t 1 } If you have a few routers down you can also alleviate the load by disabling active checks on them until they're back up (otherwise each failing service check on them will force running a 1-second host check in serial). The definitive answer to your problem will be in Nagios 3 with host check caching...

Then you can lower the max_check_attempts and still get the fast behaviour, because check_icmp, when working in check_host mode, will return immediately upon the first correctly received icmp response, but try several times, thus saving you 3 fork()/exec() for each attempt while maintaining precision. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It helped a lot reducing the check latency on my systems. It's running over 1000 checks/minute with near-0 latency (the latency climbs if there's a few hosts going down though, because the host check for down hosts is run more often and takes longer - I'll work on this when I upgrade to Nagios 3).

There's no Nagios-plugins for Windows (maybe you were talking about NRPE-NT, NSClient or NC_Net...). You should have check_nrpe on the Nagios server and NRPE running on the remote computer. The NRPE config on remote side has nrpe commands associated to real system commands so that when you do: $ ./check_nrpe -H remote_server -c command_name the system command associated to "command_name" on the remote_server is run and returns back to check_nrpe. The Nagios-plugins usually have to be be installed on the remote server as well so you can have a basic set of monitoring command to run. There's certainly some documentation about it on the Nagios web site.

According to Nagios documentation it's much more performant to have a faster host check and more check attempts than one check attempt that takes longer (i.e. sending multiple packets). The performance problem people usually get is not related to server performance (i.e. number of forks, cou used, etc) but the time Nagios spend waiting for host check results (as it's doing nothing else during that time).

Each check run by Nagios needs three fork()'s and two exec()'s. For your case, you can achieve exactly the same thing, but with 6 fork()'s and 4 exec()'s less by using check_host -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w -c -n 3 except that check_host will be a lot faster for the cases where the host has turned unreachable due to routing problems.

I agree, but with Nagios, check_latency is usually *not* caused by system resources usage but rather by time spent waiting for hosts checks. In other words I do *not* care about system resources utilization if Nagios can't use them up which is currently the case. The way I do hosts checks is IMHO the fastest one from Nagios point of view, despite the fact that it can take more CPU cycles to get performed. My check send only one ICMP ping in most cases. If it's isn't answered it will retry up to two mote times (3 * 500 ms timeout max). That is tunable of course. Also I believe the packet interval in your test makes it take actually longer for the same number of unanswered packet with the same timeout. For Nagios 3 with host check caching your method is probably the best one though. BTW, this is probably tunable but for the records: $ time bash -c './check_host -H 1.1.1.1 -w 300.00,80% -c 500.00,100% -n 3' CRITICAL - 1.1.1.1: rta nan, lost 100%|rta=0.000ms;300.000;500.000;0; pl=100%;80;100;; real 0m4.517s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.004s $ time bash -c 'for i in 1 2 3; do ./check_icmp -H 1.1.1.1 -w 300.00,80% - -c 500.00,100% -n 1 -t 10; done' CRITICAL - 1.1.1.1: rta nan, lost 100%|rta=0.000ms;300.000;500.000;0; pl=100%;80;100;; CRITICAL - 1.1.1.1: rta nan, lost 100%|rta=0.000ms;300.000;500.000;0; pl=100%;80;100;; CRITICAL - 1.1.1.1: rta nan, lost 100%|rta=0.000ms;300.000;500.000;0; pl=100%;80;100;; real 0m2.830s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.000s Overall it's still faster to run 3 of my commands than one of yours on an unreachable host.

While I can't answer your question, I can suggest using check_dummy to set an UNKNOWN status to hosts not monitored. Is especially make sense if some of the hosts can't be monitored directly from the central server. Also are you sure the central server is allowed to talk to your nrpe_nt (IP access list)?

Ok, maybe real-world testing would give us the real result. However I'm wondering how you calculated 0.5 seconds run a check. My most loaded server is running at ~50% CPU (spread over 2 CPUs) and is performing over 1000 active check/minute. That makes .06 second per check per CPU. Let's kill this thread until someone can provide a real comparison of the two methods on a real system. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHLwuc6dZ+Kt5BchYRApBpAKCeEAsVU6THz+77Qh58Ah++mckpJwCg0ay6 zdxYIxR7Dq6OuHHP0fZkmyI= =TDM0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

In order to do network scanning you have to add an additional piece of software. There are a few add-ons that allow you to scan your network and sets up a basic config for them. You can find some of them on http://www.nagiosexchange.org/ or you do a quick google search for nagios frontends. Nathan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

While I can't answer your question, I can suggest using check_dummy to set an UNKNOWN status to hosts not monitored. Is especially make sense if some of the hosts can't be monitored directly from the central server. Also are you sure the central server is allowed to talk to your nrpe_nt (IP access list)?

We have nagios 2.4 and would like to know if there is any way of specifying a service different host than the one using send_nsca. For example, the nagios server is not allowed to have contact to several customers' networks. However, we do have one machine that does have access to each network. The one machine monitors several customer machines and sends the status via send_ncsa. The problem is that the host is always the intermediate machine and not that machine that is actually being monitored. Therefore, we would like to be able to specify the actual host name when using send_nsca. Is this possible? Is there a newer version where this is possible? Any help is appreaciated.

You must specify the host_name with any version of send_nsca that I am aware of as part of the check result data you send back to the nagios server. You just seem to have it hard coded to be a specific host for all results -- $ send_nsca --help Usage: ../bin/send_nsca [-p port] [-to to_sec] [-d delim] [-c config_file] Note: This utility is used to send passive service check results to the NSCA daemon. Servce check data that is to be sent to the NSCA daemon is read from standard input. Service check information is in the following format (tab-delimited unless overriden with -d command line argument, one entry per line): [tab][tab][tab][ newline] ^^^ it's this last bit that you need to modify to send the correct host name. Be aware that nagios will reject submissions for hosts/services that it doesn't know about so you almost certainly need to do some config re-writing to make it work. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

That is, it is the NSCA server and not the name of the host that is actually being monitored. When I run "send_nsca --help" on my machine it gives me much more text, and says: Options: = The IP address of the host running the NSCA daemon This, as well as my tests, indicate to me that with this parameter one is simply telling send_ncsa where to send the message and not the host which the service is on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I disagree. I'm getting lots of service checks for different hosts, all being submitted by send_nsca on localhost. I.e. 'echo $SUBMITTED_RESULT | send_nsca 127.0.0.1 -p ... -c ...' with SUBMITTED_RESULT being lines containing different host names as first fields. In other words, host_address on the command line is definitely different to host_name in the actual results you submit.

You're misreading the help. "" appears in the NSCA commend line, not in the data you pass to NSCA. Note the difference in the names for the parameters; specifically where "" is used, and where "" is used. "" is, as was mentioned earlier, the name of the host to which the check results apply, and *not* the NSCA server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Use the new syntex EVENTLOG_NEW Please check documents and HELP command check the input syntex via check_nc_net --help=EVENTLOG_NEW THe problem was caused by the Event ID field in Event viewer actually being a MASKED result from the internal Data field. However this was not well documented by Microsoft at the time EventLogs was implemented. >From Latest Whats New in NC_NEt: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=48793&group_id=160140 -Added EVENTLOG_NEW this is a new and improved EventLog check, it is issued as a new command because the expected input has been simplified. Added ability to check range to EventID. -EVENTLOG_NEW, Updated the EventID to preform properly. EventID has changed in Dot Net 2.0 compared to Dot Net 1.0 and 1.1. -EVENTLOG_NEW, Added ability to change the Regular expression options into the startup.cfg, ability to accept a list of REgular expressions.

We have a command configured: define command { command_name host-notify-by-xmessage command_line /etc/nagios/scripts/host-notify-by-xmessage "$HOSTSTATE$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$DATETIME$" } The "host-notify-by-xmessage" is a shell script that pulls in a text file and displays that text file along with the host and the problem via an xmessage to an xdisplay. This all works fine when run from the command line. It even works when invoked by nagios, but when nagios invokes it, it also kills the process in about 30 seconds. This wasn't a problem on Nagios 1.x. We recently upgraded to 2.9 and ran into this issue. I've tried nohup'ing the xmessage, but no luck - it seems like the nagios process kills it no matter what!? I've tried converting the script to perl and using 'system' or 'exec' calls, but that didn't fix the problem either. Does anyone have a workaround for this or a suggestion on things to try, please?

I have so far managed to get Nagios to display the required data but it is showing the array as Critical or Warning unless I set the -w & -c levels to 2 (which is status OK), I somehow feel this is not right. How do I go about adding more than one variable to the critical level for example Critical levels would be 3 & 4 and a warning would be 1 ( normally set as -w 1) Here is the check I am currently running and the workaround to get an OK status for a variable of 2: define command{ command_name check_cpq_array command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.2.1.1.6.4 -C public -w 2 -c 2 } I think I have confused myself and probably the rest of you in this e-mail, if so I apologize.

This all works fine when run from the command line. It even works when invoked by nagios, but when nagios invokes it, it also kills the process in about 30 seconds. This wasn't a problem on Nagios 1.x. We recently upgraded to 2.9 and ran into this issue. I've tried nohup'ing the xmessage, but no luck - it seems like the nagios process kills it no matter what!? I've tried converting the script to perl and using 'system' or 'exec' calls, but that didn't fix the problem either. > > Does anyone have a workaround for this or a suggestion on things to try, please? > xmessage & Nagios must kill the notification commands if they run for too long, otherwise each notification will leak filedescriptors, and Nagios will, eventually, no longer be able to run any commands at all.

Unfortunately backgrounding was the first thing I tried. The pid is still owened by nagios and thus I thought that a nohup would work since the parent pid becomes 1. No luck Nagios still seems to kill it. I thought nohup would be the trick :-( Let us go back to the drawing board. I would think more along the lines of: - Nagios alert messages add or remove messages from a text file. (Say 1 event per line). - xmessages checks the file each minute or so and if it is not empty it will show the content. Perhaps just restart xmessage with the new content if the content has changed. It is a rather crude scetch but it might point you into a direction you may not have considered yet. Have you considered looking at that firefox plugin? It will propably do something quite similar to what you want to achive. Hugo. - -- hvdkooij at vanderkooij.org http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ PGP/GPG?

Probably it's issue with syntax but after couple of days I gave it up. In my nrpe.cfg is command: command[check_cmd]=c:\test.cmd In the test.cmd is: @echo off C:\pscp.exe -batch -q -pw password c:\test.txt nagios at 10.8.10.9:/tmp/test/ echo Looks good exit 1 When I run it from linux, command is timed out Command pscp will not end and became hang on in the windows processes. I tried to use whatever instead pscp and everythink is working. I also tried to use "" to identifeing paths and it doesn't work as well "C:\pscp.exe" -batch -q -pw password "c:\test.txt" nagios at 10.8.10.9:/tmp/test/ When I run this command from command prompt it works and copy file into linux machine I also tried to use a differenet options in th pscp. I run pscp with full control permission and NRPE_nt service is running under local administrastor. I though that there is problem with pscp authentication. Cause on my linux machine there is no attempt to authenticate from that windows. When I use this command from command prompt there is a record in the auth.log about sshd Accepted keyboard from windows machine I would say there must be something with command syntax and nrpe_nt can't handle it Thanks BR Pet ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I've started my NDOUtils project to implement NagVis. This is going pretty smooth, save for one part. I'm building this on an Ubuntu box, but following the HOWTO I found on the wiki for CentOS I modified it to suit my needs. I have everything running fine. The daemon starts good. However, I am getting the "Error connecting to datasink!" bit. I did a search of the archives, and found a few posts about permissions, and I just verified them. root at dovnagiosw:/usr/local/nagios/var# ls -l ndo.sock srwxrwxrwx 1 nagios nagcmd 0 2007-11-06 10:34 ndo.sock It seems to me the nagios user can read and write to the sock file The database and user are created correctly, and my ndomod.cfg file seems to be ok. I can post the contents of that if the list so chooses. Thanks, Stephen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I was looking at the same problem and installed a nice add-on, called nagvis (http://www.nagvis.org). It requires ndo-utils and you can draw some very nice status maps with it. Only disadvantage is that it doesn't automatically draw a status map from your Nagios config files, so you have to draw the maps on your own. You can even draw submaps if you want to.

[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Folks, A quick look at the docco (on Nagios.ORG eg what's new, upgrading from 2.x) suggests there is no significant change in the processing of the $ARG$ macros in 3.0 (3.0b6) compared to 2.9. Unfortunately, my Perl plugins fail to run under 3.0 when the plugin is defined (in checkcommands.cfg) with a $ARG1$ macro but called without a value for the macro. It appears that under 3.0 the ARG macro is instantiated with a Perl 'undef' value (that's my guess given the exception it raises), so perhaps the macro is set to a empty string by the C caller. What the problem is not: - 1 Embedded Perl: plugin runs fine under the new_mini_epn emulator 2 The plugin works fine when called by Nagios with non-null args. The error is raisd by a standard (ie part of the Perl 5 distribution) module called Getopt::Long. Since this is a widely used module, it is unlikely to be a bug in that module. Here are the error messages [1194424952] SERVICE ALERT: foo;Reachability of bar/192.168.95.115 from foo router;UNKNOWN;HARD;3;**ePN /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dev_plr_question: "Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Getopt/Long.pm line 407,".

It's certainly possible that the macro exists, but isn't classed as a contact macro; that said, no other macro documented in /docs/macros.html seems to fit. What I was asking is whether anyone's aware of an undocumented way to access the parameter, or of some other clever end-run that hasn't occurred to me. Or, admittedly, whether I've missed something obvious. -- Tom Yates - http://www.teaparty.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It could be expensive to do an exhausive search there, so you might want to cache the info somewhere. Whatever way you choose, I believe you need to write the notification command as a script instead of a one-liner in your commands.cfg. If you have to fiddle an awful lot with it, you might be better off just patching Nagios to understand a $CONTACTGROUPS$ macro or some such. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The problem we are having is when one of our Linux Nagios servers goes down and doesn't send any results to the master Nagios server. When this happens and our 5 minute freshness hits it's threshold. We start running active checks because we didn't receive any passive updates from the server that went down. This sends a bunch of checks to the windows server to run tests and we start getting unknown status reports back to the master server with the result of "No output available from command".

Message-ID: Hello ! My nagios segmentation faults on me at start up. When I start it with "service nagios start" command, the error I'm getting is displayed thusly: "Starting nagios:/etc/init.d/nagios: line 121: 4718 Segmentation fault $NagiosBin -d $NagiosCfgFile" whereby $NagiosBin resolves to /usr/bin/nagios and $NagiosCfgFile resolves to /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg. Obviously, /etc/init.d/nagios exists. The pre-flight check of nagios.cfg doesn't return any errors. And the nagios.log file doesn't have any constructive feedback, except for one line saying "[1194569016] Nagios 2.9 starting... (PID=4718)" So my question is: how do I begin debugging this issue and where do I look first ? Is there any way I can modify nagios configuration to make it output more detailed stuff to the log ? Can anybody please stir me in the right direction .... thanks alot, yana ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The synopsis is excellent but there are a few non show-stopping problems. Firstly, the performance of host detection is simply excellent and those contemplating mega installations should take great heart. As soon as the service check complete the max_checks, the host down notifications are unlaunched. The developer/s have done a great job (as usual). For our site, it used to take nearly 2 minutes after service checks failed to detect down hosts. Problems 1 ARG macros with ePN (may be without) $ARG$s appear to be instantiated differently to 2.x, and in such a way as to cause Perl plugins using Getopt (ie expecting args) to barf if called without args. Workaround: command_name!" " in services.cfg 2 Aberrant intermittent ePN behaviour Fri Nov 9 14:30:59 2007 Warning: Check of service 'Redundant link is operational' on host 'TRASW210' did not exit properly! This happens occasionally. Restart sorts it. Plugins _known_ to be good with ePN in 2.x/passed by new_mini_epn (which prob needs revising). 3 global_event_handler strangeness Not sure if this is bad, but Nag log shows Thu Nov 8 21:04:28 2007 GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER: NDCSW209;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler when global event handler runs. Event handler still called with the same args and seems to do the 'right thing'. >From my point of view, problem 2 is a concern (PITA to use the verancular). Looks like I will be trawling checks.c for the origin of this message. Thank you, Yours sincerely.

They aren't really forks. OpServices have simply taken over maintainership of NSClient (more or less, as the original author seems to have vanished). NSClient++ is a re-implementation in C++, with support for NRPE style script based checks as well. NC_Net does things through dot net stuff and some m$ voodoo, but incorporates the NSClient mode of address since that's what the official plugins support. So it's really three different agents. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The problem for us is that most of our customers doesn?t want to install the .NET framework and we don?t want to force them.

But it completely depends on how and where Nagios was originally installed. We are not psychic. You might want to ask someone who knows more about Linux to give you some pointers, Nagios is complicated enough to work out for people who are seasoned Linux users, let alone those who are new to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Well, one of the things that happens is the service check scheduling changes. If you've configured the max_attempts option of the service definition to be something greater than 1, Nagios will recheck the service before deciding that a real problem exists. While the service is being rechecked (up to max_attempts times) it is considered to be in a "soft" state (as described here) and the service checks are rescheduled at a frequency determined by the retry_interval option. If Nagios rechecks the service max_attempts times and it is still in a non-OK state, Nagios will put the service into a "hard" state, send out notifications to contacts (if applicable), and start rescheduling future checks of the service at a frequency determined by the check_interval option. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

If you could provide the following details, it would be very helpful: - output of command "uname -a" - Nagios version - exact name of the plugin you're having problems with From the errors you posted already, there may be some confusion - check_mrtggraf doesn't use snmp directly, it uses the information collected by a separate program called MRTG (which must be installed, configured and running properly in order to generate the log file check_mrtggraf currently can't find). And, there are many snmp plugins. - Nagios command definition for the plugin - Nagios service definition for the service calling this command. As Giles says, you really do need to have some understanding of the OS you're running Nagios on. Different OS's can install different bits of Nagios in different places, for one thing. tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The service is only checked once a minute (using the retry_interval) while it is in a SOFT state. The documentation does explain this quite well, I am not sure whether you can change this, but you won't be getting accurate downtime (to the minute) anyway, because you normally only check the service once every 10minutes, so it could already have been down for ten minutes when it first enters the SOFT state. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

This means that nagios will check the service every 10 minutes until there is a problem, then it will perform 1 check 1 minute later and send a notification if it's still in a non-OK state. All future checks return to the 10 minute interval, even if it's still in a non-OK state. retry_check_interval is only used up to max_check_attempts. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The reason I ask is that you appear to be using the macro correctly but this is an issue that has only ever been seen when the wrong macro is used (i.e. $DATETIME$ from nagios-1.x). For some reason I'm under the impression that the debian packages are shipped with incorrect macros used. Did you have to change them? Did you restart nagios after and verify that there is only one nagios daemon running? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

If you could provide the following details, it would be very helpful: - output of command "uname -a" - Nagios version - exact name of the plugin you're having problems with From the errors you posted already, there may be some confusion - check_mrtggraf doesn't use snmp directly, it uses the information collected by a separate program called MRTG (which must be installed, configured and running properly in order to generate the log file check_mrtggraf currently can't find). And, there are many snmp plugins. - Nagios command definition for the plugin - Nagios service definition for the service calling this command. As Giles says, you really do need to have some understanding of the OS you're running Nagios on. Different OS's can install different bits of Nagios in different places, for one thing. tim -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I am slowly working threw it. There are parameter's, which have to be changed to mirror your devices, however the manual, isn't that clear on some things. I sent another email, which I answered some questions, and clarrified more. This should help you get me moving in the right direction. As far as SNMP I know my devices are running it, because we use it for Openview and Solarwinds, and PRTG. I downloaded this but have trouble pointing the files to the right folders, which they need to be in when they are extracted. Nagios-snmp-plugins.1.1.1.tgz is the plug in I download.

But it completely depends on how and where Nagios was originally installed. We are not psychic. You might want to ask someone who knows more about Linux to give you some pointers, Nagios is complicated enough to work out for people who are seasoned Linux users, let alone those who are new to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm rather surprised that I can't seem to get more than about 3 checks per second. Am I just being dense? (I haven't used anything but passive checks for years now, so my active check foo is stale...) Nagios config settings (testing with 2.9, which is what we're using in production): service_inter_check_delay_method=0.01 (tried s as well...) service_interleave_factor=s host_inter_check_delay_methos=0.01 (tried s as well) max_concurrent_checks=0 service_reaper_frequency=1 sleep_time=0.01 performance stats show svc execution at 0 / .8 / .459, svc latency at 0 / 10467.99 / 4475.5599 (3 hours after launch, with only 32708 / 50000 services checked) I never see more than 9 nagios procs at once. The config is large (5000 hosts with 10 services each). The service checks are a simple c program that sleeps for half a second then returns OK.

Assuming everyone has AbiWord is as unhelpful as people assuming everyone has MS Word available. - In general, never post real ip addresses, passwords or SNMP community strings in an open forum. Your email has already been indexed, and your community string is now compromised. I would change it immediately. Generally, the first place to start when troubleshooting plugins is to run the plugin from the command line, with the exact same params as you're passing in the service definition, although its common for the check_command in the service definition to be a redefined version of a plugin, defined in the command def file. so: (the following is from 2.x series. I haven't even looked at 3.x yet, so don't know if any of this has changed). - find where your commands are defined. Look in nagios.cfg, where ever that might be ("locate nagios.cfg" should work) - that will tell you the name and location of the command file. Then find the "define command" block that matches your check_command. Use the stuff given in the "command_line", with the params from your service definition, to run it manually. Make sense? If it works as root, su to the nagios user, and try it that way. Given that this is a forum of people helping each other, the more you can do yourself, the better your questions will be received. If you have trouble with the above, look at it, run check_snmp -h for help, think about it, google it a few ways before posting back. You'll also learn more that way.

So in my eyes, each flavor of the current Windows Plugins offers a different set of enhancements, NSCLIENT++ has NRPE and some other enhancements NC_NET has NSCA, event logs, RunScripts,WMI,... (And supports Whitespace in Service names) OpMon - may be introducing NRPE soon? and hopefully other enhancements All three are compatible to the Check_NT from the official Plugins and should return similar results.

There is large number of hosts whose host status, according to Nagios' web interface, has been in critical DOWN condition for quite some time. However, when I run the query on NDOUtils tables, only a very small subset of these hosts show up. (I.e. nagios shows that host X,Y,Z and W are down, but when I run the query on DNOUtils hostchecks data table, only Y and Z show up as having ever been down, which is *weird*). I've ensured that Nagios performs the checks every two minutes, that both nagios and ndoUtils have been running long enough, and that the Ndo2db is only trimmed once a week (so trimming could not be the cause of the missing records...) The query that I'm running is as follows: SELECT o.name1, o.object_id, h.host_object_id FROM nagios.nagios_objects o INNER JOIN nagios.nagios_hostchecks h ON o.object_id=h.host_object_id WHERE o.objecttype_id=1 AND h.state=1 AND is_raw_check=0; So can anybody suggest a reason why the hosts which are down (and critical) in Nagios' web interface are not recorded as such in NDOUtils' database ?? thanks alot for any suggestions : 0) --yana ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Why not use the host_name you want displayed in the host{} definitions but the host{} address for serverX? The host_name is used for display/notification purposes and the address is only used behind the scenes for communication.

Normally when you configure host and service - check_host - nagios is pinging the host. But I would like to check all servers behind the NAT (localnetwork) - so it is not possible ping them from outside (second location). So I created serices on Gateway - check_ping and put hardcore configuration in NRPE. This way is fine - but I see all local IP as service from NRPE (ServerX). But I would like to see it at host. For example: HOST: name.location2 IP: AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD Service: service1 Service: service2 But all this queries must go threw ServerX Marcin Praczko No virus found in this outgoing message.

Is your primary concern only the IP that is displayed in the GUI? I took your original e-mail to mean that you want all the services associated with ServerX that are really for ServerA..D to be their own host/services. I still don't see an issue with doing that. While they would all have the correct host names, they'd still need to show the IP for ServerX since it's the only address nagios must know about. > But I would like to see it at host. > For example: > > HOST: name.location2 > IP: AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD > Service: service1 > Service: service2 If your concern is that the IP displayed doesn't match the host_name that nagios is checking, proceed as I indicated in my first e-mail, but also create a new check_nrpe command definition that uses a hard coded of serverX to send commands to, ignoring the host address defined in nagios. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Any help/hint appreciated :) None exists today. It should be fairly simple to write a NRPE wrapper around portmaster, however. I believe (but might be wrong) that net-snmp also has the ability to read the FreeBSD package database; you could run a snmpwalk on the target machine and compare that to a master package database. Good luck, and if you implement something be sure to let us know about it. ==ml > > Matthias > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?

Message-ID: Thank you very much for explaing some ideas. I know that maybe I don?t understand your idea - I apologies for that. Look: I have local network behind one server which is available to connect from Internet. But behind this server are network devices (NAS, IDS, etc) which communicate each other by local IP addresses. And I maintaining second network. Each of this network doesn't trust each other. And now you have: Nagios Server ------ ServerX ----- (LAN IPs to others network devices). I Configured NRPE on ServerX to hardcore ping local IPs (But I would like to Develop this configuration to checking for example free space on NAS, Network bandwich on NAS, etc, etc). At this moment is working (NAGIOS - Service group): ServerX - Checking services on ServerX - Pinging LOCAL IP1 - Pinging LOCAL IP2 - Pinging LOCAL IP3 So if I add service - check free space - that I will get next service for ServerX But I would like to have: ServerX - Checking services on ServerX Group Local devices on location 2. Server with IP1 - Checking services on Server with IP1 Server with IP2 - Checking services on Server with IP2 Etc. IP1 and IP2 have local IP - not external. The reason to do that. I would like to have only one port opened (NRPE) on one server and checking all HOSTs and SERVICEs behid this server (ServerX). I just like groups and working with them. I am not so familiar with Nagios, this is a beginning of my adventure with this software. So I am asking how (or if) can be done? If yes, please explain me how. If I understood correctly from nagios manual. We have two pings. Service and Host. So I service will fail, and server will be marked as DOWN. The host ping is sending to server (right?). So here I would like to run NRPE command on ServerX (Ping LOCAL IP). If server is back up - the software ping is checking what happen (right?) And here Again I would like to send command to NRPE - ping local IP. Etc. At this moment I can't do (but I don't say that I am right) to make one group from LOCAL IPs behind ServerX and sending everything via NRPE on ServerX I hope that time is clear what I would like to know.

Message-ID: <18894d440711120831y7bfaad94l1ad3b67c1a0503e0@mail.gmail.com> I'm having an issue with NDOutils where it starts two instances of ndo2db. I start one manually like the install says, but when I start nagios, a second instance pops up. The strange thing is it didn't do this the first time I started everything up after installing. It wrote to the database and the nagios.log was continualy being updated. But ever since I stopped nagios and ndo2db and tried to start everything up again, it now starts two instances and only writes information to the database on the first connect and then no longer does anything. Using RHEL 5 AP, with Nagios 3.0b6 and NDOUtils 1.47b Here is the successfull connection when I first start it up from nagios.log but after that, nagios.log does not update at all, even though nagios.debug is and the webpage is showing current checks, nothing is being written to the database.

It only happens when there is already one present. Any ideas why two ndo2db process are starting?

You can use command (Exacly with ENTER as I wrote:) define command { command_name check_http command_line $USER1$/check tcp \ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 80 -s 'GET / HTTP/1.0 ' -e 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK' } But you can see webinject. I didn?t try it but author from book: "Building a monitoring infrastructure with nagios" (David Josephsen) said that is very good solution. You can parse data (expected respone etc - parse that is error messeage like: MySQL Error, etc). [Above command is example form this book as well]. HTH. Marcin Praczko.

Unless I'm missing something obvious, this seems pretty straightforward. host{} definition for the web server machine, service{} definitions for each vhost using check_http to check them. You can craft a command{} definition to pass the variable parameters like vhost name, uri and search string like so -- define command { command_name check_http_url command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ -wt 20 -ct 30 -to 35 -s $ARG3$ } To check to vhosts -- define service { use generic-service host_name my_webserver service_description HTTP VHOST site1 check_command check_http_url!www.site1.com!/mypage!/html } define service { use generic-service host_name my_webserver service_description HTTP VHOST site2 check_command check_http_url!www.site2.com!/someotherpage!/html } -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I've found ports-mgmt/jailaudit in the Ports. Seems quite useful yet. I'll see how this tool can help on monitoring the installed ports for security holes. Monitoring the jails for updates should work with pkg_version -vL "=" I'll let you know if I've made something useful.

No snmp plugin will work without it (that I'm aware of anyway). I might also suggest you investigate Groundwork - it takes some of the manual work out of configuring/using Nagios. It still requires understanding Nagios, and I'm sure its a bit of work to get started, but in the long run, you'll see web pages for configuration instead of text files, and it tries to make things a little simpler. : I have only set up the configuration GUI for others, and haven't used the whole package, so I'm not speaking from experience. Not sure what its "free-ness" status is either... tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Perhaps the variable is incorrect? Looks to me like you might have been referencing the 1.0 documentation ($OUTPUT$ is a 1.x only macro).

Perhaps the variable is incorrect? Looks to me like you might have been referencing the 1.0 documentation ($OUTPUT$ is a 1.x only macro). The 2.0 documentation on Distributed Monitoring uses the correct macros. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I am seriously beginning to wonder whether you are a troll. You will need to go back to square one: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Once you've read and properly absorbed then proceed to square two: http://tldp.org And finally, once you've spent a few years on that, with test environments and the like, proceed to: http://www.nagios.org/ If you can't be bothered with the above steps then you have two choices: (a) Use another product. (b) Get someone else to do it for you. Please bear in mind that the advice you get here is purely voluntary and most people here are simply here to gain information from discussion and pass their experiences on to others. In the short time that you've participated on this list, you've simply posted demands for information repeatedly without ever properly communicating exactly what your problem has been. I would imagine that many have already set up mail filters to /dev/null your email address. I am not personally attacking you here, but I feel that there is a shared consensus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

As I understand it your nagios sends the current check result back to itself, so it's obvious the state never change. If you want to do active monitoring you should use an active check, and if you want to do passive monitoring the command should run on the remote host (ex. from crontab) and use send_nsca to report back to nagios (in that case you should have active checks disabled on the service, and eventually freshness checking) If you're trying to do something else then please explain.

It's called check_ports for now and the first version can be found here: http://dl.adminlife.net/check_ports Please don't blame me for my coding style - I'm not a shell hacker ;) The plugin does the following: If you start it without a parameter it will check the host system for updates via pkg_version and security problems via portaudit (if it exists). If you start it with the name of a jail as parameter it will check the jail for updates and security problems. This is done via jexec so you need sudo installed if you call the Nagios plugin with an unprivileged user. Some problems still exist: - sometimes there is an plugin timeout in Nagios, because calling pkg_version can be time consuming - it is not the best idea to give an unprivileged superuser access to jexec without password The plugin works for me at the moment. Hope it will work for you, too. I would be happy if you have any suggestions or improvements.

Return Code: 2 == CRITICAL Output from the plugin == '(No output!)' In this case this means that the distributed nagios server didn't receive any output from the plugin it ran. Looks to me like the plugin being executed before it's results are sent via NSCA is failing. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Right now I am testing on two servers initially. Both servers are in the same datacenter. Both are running the same versions of nagios and plugins. Nagios01: Central Monitoring Server. Mainly just catching passive results, displaying the dashboard, and sending notifications. Nagios02: Distributed nagios server Configuration: Nagios02 has the check command defined as follows. define command{ command_name submit_check_result command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' } In nagios.cfg obsess_over_services=1 ocsp_command=submit_check_result In the submit_check_result script, the print line is as follows. /usr/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" "$1" "$2" "$return_code" "$4" | /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca 10.0.254.248 -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg In Nagios01 it is set up to accept passive checks. And they do come in, but are always critical and with the previous error of "No Output!" The checks from the distributed server (02) do work when they are run from the command line.

As I understand it your nagios sends the current check result back to itself, so it's obvious the state never change. If you want to do active monitoring you should use an active check, and if you want to do passive monitoring the command should run on the remote host (ex. from crontab) and use send_nsca to report back to nagios (in that case you should have active checks disabled on the service, and eventually freshness checking) If you're trying to do something else then please explain.

Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 08:27:46 -0800 Subject: Can Nagios implement with Expect to automate tasks when issues arise? Message-ID: <473B2202.1080702@garlic.com> Hi all, I just learned what Expect was and wrote a few scripts to automate certain tasks around the office, and now I'm wondering if Expect can be used in conjunction with Nagios. Is this possible? Example: One of our servers go down at least twice a day, and we know it's problematic. We connect to the power strip and recycle the power on the port that machine is plugged in. I'd like to use Expect to automate this when Nagios notices it is down. Has anyone else implemented something similar to what I'm describing?

It's an Event Handler for nagios. It's a script that can be run when a host/service changes state. That script can be written in sh, bash, perl, expect, ruby, whatever... As long as you can script an action to take and run that as the nagios user, nagios can automatically run it when needed. Take a look at the Event Handler documentation for examples. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Almost all of my checks run at five minute intervals. I'm trying to move from a centralized to a distributed situation because my latency has gotten to about 75 seconds average on the central server.

I don't use servicegroups but I expect that could easily be resolved by logical naming of the services (CheckString-vhostname) and using wildcards or regex in your servicegroup match (CheckString-*). -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Almost all of my checks run at five minute intervals. Pretty close to the same here... Passive Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 669 (17.7%) <= 5 minutes: 3681 (97.3%) <= 15 minutes: 3782 (99.9%) <= 1 hour: 3782 (99.9%) Since program start: 3782 (99.9%) > latency is less than 10 seconds on both of them, but the latency on the > central server is really high, 350-650 seconds. I'm seeing freshness > timeouts and errors. How are you measuring the latency on the central server? Nagios doesn't report it for passive checks AFAIK. Do you see the checks come in to nsca? Do you see them in nagios.log? Are they timely in both places? Nsca debug mode might be useful. You really need to determine where the latency is appearing to give us a better idea of where to help. > The checks are getting submitted, but there seems to be a horrible > latency between the check result and when the central server gets it. The OCSP -> send_nsca -> nsca -> nagios.cmd process should be nearly instantaneous. Do you see nsca processes hanging around on your central server (besides the daemon)? Do you have nagios reaping external commands frequently enough? See the command_check_interval setting in nagios.cfg. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Any alerts generated are sent to that host group's associated contact group which has that company's staff as contacts. What would be really useful, is if a customer could log in and only view and make changes to those hosts that are in their host group, i.e lock that customer down to the hosts and services that concern them, isolating them from rest of the monitored hosts and customers in the interface. As it stands now, any customer could log in and view any other customers' hosts and possibly make changes depending on permissions granted to that user. Obviously not an ideal situation and something preventing us from granting customer access to Nagios. I have read through the auth sections of the docs but as far as I can tell it only seems possible to limit use of certain commands and set privledge levels by user/group. Perhaps I misssed something.. Is this something that can be configured with a present version of Nagios or if not, will this be possible in future releases? This would be really handy for us as customers could essentially log in and deal with their own alerts instead of requesting our support team to disable an alert and re-enable when the issue is resolved.

If you want to test a webapp, use the standard webapp testing methods, check_http, webinject etc...

The caveat being that nagios will be doing nothing else except obsessing over this host up to max_check_attempts to don't make it an unreasonable number.

As I understand it your nagios sends the current check result back to itself, so it's obvious the state never change. If you want to do active monitoring you should use an active check, and if you want to do passive monitoring the command should run on the remote host (ex. from crontab) and use send_nsca to report back to nagios (in that case you should have active checks disabled on the service, and eventually freshness checking) If you're trying to do something else then please explain.

Nagios02: Distributed nagios server Configuration: Nagios02 has the check command defined as follows. define command{ command_name submit_check_result command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' } In nagios.cfg obsess_over_services=1 ocsp_command=submit_check_result In the submit_check_result script, the print line is as follows. /usr/bin/printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" "$1" "$2" "$return_code" "$4" | /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca 10.0.254.248 -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg In Nagios01 it is set up to accept passive checks. And they do come in, but are always critical and with the previous error of "No Output!" The checks from the distributed server (02) do work when they are run from the command line. Im not sure if im missing something or the implementation is being confused in some way.

As I understand it your nagios sends the current check result back to itself, so it's obvious the state never change. If you want to do active monitoring you should use an active check, and if you want to do passive monitoring the command should run on the remote host (ex. from crontab) and use send_nsca to report back to nagios (in that case you should have active checks disabled on the service, and eventually freshness checking) If you're trying to do something else then please explain.

It's a wrapper around the standard check_smtp plugin. It's been working correctly for months now. I pasted the code for this in at the end of this message. Yesterday at 2:00 the compressor failed in my server room and the temperature went up to 90F. My notification was correctly sent, and I was happy. However, I've received a notification every 5 minutes since then that the temperature is over 80. In the service definition, I have notification_intervals set to 0: # check that ambient temperature from Dell sensor is less than 80 and 90 degree F. # Notify the 'temp' group only. define service { hostgroup_name temp_sensor service_description Ambient Temperature check_command check_ambtempF!80!90 #For testing, set the temperature too low # check_command check_ambtempF!60!70 use generic-service notification_interval 0; set > 0 if you want to be renotified contact_groups temp } In generic-service.nagios2.cnf, the notification_interval is also set to 0. Furthermore, I don't have any escalations defined. And, I just discovered that even though I disabled notifications for this service using the nagios2 GUI, I'm still getting notified every five minutes. Can anyone suggest anything I can try to fix this behavior? Did I overlook something in how I wrote the plugin? My system is Nagios 2.6, as installed by the Debian 3.0 package system.

You need to be looking at your distributed nagios box when doing this but I'm quite certain it is based on what you've indicated so far. You should see that in the web interface on that box and in nagios.log. If you still want to go the debug route and you're using nagios-2, you'll need to recompile, passing debug options to ./configure. --enable-DEBUG0 shows function entry and exit --enable-DEBUG1 shows general info messages --enable-DEBUG2 shows warning messages --enable-DEBUG3 shows scheduled events (service and host checks... etc) --enable-DEBUG4 shows service and host notifications --enable-DEBUG5 shows SQL queries --enable-DEBUGALL shows all debugging messages With nagios-3, there are debug options in nagios.cfg. Instead of going this route, I'd make a simple change to the command definitions that are failing on your distributed nagios box, especially the one you previously sent that returns 'no output!'. At the end of the command line, add '2>&1' to capture STDERR from the plugin run. In the web interface/nagios log, you should then see why it's failing. For example (completely off the top of my head) -- define command { command_name check_ping command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 10,50% -c 20,100% 2>&1 # note, the above is all one line } Alternately, running the plugins on your distributed box, as the nagios user, exactly as they're defined in the command{} definition, using appropriate substitutions, should be informative as well... You haven't shown us any actual host/server/command definitions related to your core issue yet so we can't really be specifically helpful there. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Return Code: 2 == CRITICAL Output from the plugin == '(No output!)' In this case this means that the distributed nagios server didn't receive any output from the plugin it ran.
