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.

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.

(my test sever is down so I cannot test) Sometimes having the command definition like such helps: command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -l '$ARG1$' -d SHOWALL then you do not need to worry about loosing the ' between the command and the definition, but my test server is down so I cannot test these options.

I'm querying a Windows box w/ NSClient for services using check_nt -v SERVICESTATE -l (list of services). One of the services I'm checking has a dollar sign ($) in its name. This causes the check to barf. A standard check runs fine when surrouded by ' : /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H host.blah.blah -v SERVICESTATE -l 'MSSQL$VITALSQLEXPRESS' All services are running But using the same in my services.cfg with either ' ` or " doesn't have the desired effect. Here's my checkcommand.cfg entry if it's helpful. define command{ command_name check_nt_service command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$ -d SHOWALL Any ideas? Renaming the service really isn't an option and though I can monitor the process, I'd really rather not.

Yes, retention is working correctly on a master server in the same type of environment (nagios-2.5). All but 4 of the 3900+ service checks on my master are passive. I'm not aware that nagios makes a distinction between active/passive checks when it comes to retention. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I would assume the opposite. An acknowledgement means that someone is definitely aware of an issue with the host/service so no further notifications are necessary. The flow of check_service_notification_viability in base/notifications.c seems to concur -- /* has this problem already been acknowledged? */ if(svc->problem_has_been_acknowledged==TRUE){ #ifdef DEBUG4 printf("\tThis service problem has already been acknowledged, so we won't send a notification out!\n"); #endif return ERROR; } If I'm reading the code correctly, the check above is done for every HARD state change. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

It seems to be notifying me at the check interval and not the notification interval for all my services. Basically, I am getting emails every 20 minutes for the Disk_Space_C service below no matter what I have the notification interval set to. I haven't tried changing the check interval to seei f it will change the interval between notifications, but I may try that later. I might also try changing the parent service template "generic-service" as use_retained_scheduling_info=0 had no effect on restart. I don't know if it is my retention file or what... Nagios is reading the service as "no re-notification" when I look at the configuration in the web interface and I have no escalations setup yet, so I am at a loss. The service uses the it-generic template below which uses the generic-service template I have created. define service { name generic-service is_volatile 1 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 5 normal_check_interval 20 retry_check_interval 2 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 0 notifications_enabled 1 notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,w,r event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 low_flap_threshold 0 high_flap_threshold 0 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 contact_groups nagiosadmin register 0 } define service { name it-generic use generic-service notification_interval 0 notification_options c,w,r contact_groups Email_SomeGroup,nagiosadmin register 0 } define service { service_description Disk_Space_C use it-generic host_name myhost check_command chk_wmi_disk!C:!93,97 } Doug Woodgate Sr Technical Analyst Brown Printing Company -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While I use command-restricted keys for all passwordless auth (usually cronjobs), this is the reason why I never looked into check_by_ssh and use NRPE instead. Having unrestricted passwordless auth from your monitoring system makes all your server fully and easily vulnerable if your monitoring server gets compromised. > Am I missing something?

I'm not totally sure about your method, but I do it with "passwd -l username" to lock and "passwd -u username" to unlock a user. At least on my systems it adds/removes a "!" in the password field of /etc/shadow (passwd stays unchanged). You can also set the shell to /bin/false and set a non existent home directory (ex. "/nonexistent").

I do something similar, though also add a 'from' restriction, in the event the private key is compromised - here are a few examples: For remote nagios instance monitoring: > from="host-01.full.domain",command="/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios -F /dev/shm/status.log -e 5 -C nagios" ssh-dss AAAA... > from="host-02.full.domain",command="/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nagios -F /dev/shm/status.log -e 5 -C nagios" ssh-dss AAAA... *dons protective aluminum foil headgear* In the the keys on _some_ systems, I also add: > no-port-forwarding > no-X11-forwarding > no-agent-forwarding I usually only allow a single command per host - on hosts which I want to execute multiple commands, rather than having a keypair-per-command, I make the command a script which sanitizes the input and checks the command against a list of predetermined allowed commands. Probably not as safe as keypairs-per-command because it's not as explicit, but more flexible/manageable in certain situations. > Am I missing something?

Nagios sets and keeps this acknowledgement state in memory only when it receives the external command (until it may get dumped to retention file if you have that enabled). Theoretically, you may be able to periodically stop your backup nagios, copy over the retention file and comments file, overwriting the ones it would already have, and restart nagios.

NRPE makes me a bit nervous because I suppose (without any data to back it up) that relatively few people use it (at least compared to ssh). What criteria did you use in making the evaluation of check_by_ssh vs. NRPE? SSH is tempting because I don't have to install and configure much new stuff or learn much new stuff, or at least what I learn has broad applications. And though the configuration may be a bit long-winded, it seems pretty clear. And I *think* I can nail it down pretty well, so that even if my private keys on the nagios server got compormised, nothing much bad could happen to the other hosts. > You can also set the shell to /bin/false and set a non > existent home directory (ex. "/nonexistent"). Doesn't the nagios user need a shell and a home dir to run the daemon? Maybe I was just thinking that it needed a home dir to put the ssh keys in, but they can be located anywhere. Slowly understanding blooms.

Interesting. I hadn't gotten to the details of the forced commands part of the ssh book yet, so I didn't know about $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND. Hmmm.... Flexible, complicated. A bit harder to be sure I haven't left any cracks. Stuff to think about.

For starters I am using the following: SLES 9.3 Nagios: 2.10 Nagios Plugins: 1.4.9 NDOUtils: 14b6 NagiosQL: 2.00 NagVis: 1.1 My first problem, and I am not sure it is actually a problem, is that when I do a reload of nagios (/etc/init.d/nagios reload) it takes, what seems to me to be, a long time. It is usually around 90-120 seconds for Nagios to start allowing use of the web interface once the reload is initiated. A check of the files reveals no errors (save one warning for a host with no services) and the nagios process shows in a ps awux list. However the web interface shows the "Whoops! Error: Could not read host and service status information!" during the 90-120 second delay I mentioned earlier.

Even with ssh you still have to distribute the check plugins and set up the remote keys. Also all your keys will have to be in the authorized_keys which can be harder to manage. With NRPE you can define a config directory where you can put various config files depending on the server role. For example I have one for all Linux server, then one for web servers, one for DB, etc. When I want to modify/add something for all server (or a group of servers) I just have to copy the appropriate configs and plugins and SIGHUP nrpe to get the new config active. >> You can also set the shell to /bin/false and set a non >> existent home directory (ex.

Well, check_by_ssh will need a homedir, unless you want to apply the keys system_wide (bad idea IMO), For the shell I'm not sure, it depends if ssh pass the command to a shell (which would allow pipes and stuff) of just run it directly.

We saw this about 6 months ago and have been optimising the hell out of it, but it boils down to this: - NDO updates are synchronously applied to the database This means that Nagios has to wait for the DB to finish the update before it continues. I believe Ethan is doing something at NDO after Nagios 3 is released. We've done various tricks to try and reduce the time for a reload, which we will blog about on http://altinity.org soon, but I just haven't found the time to do it. The first couple of things that come to mind are: - indexes should be re-arranged so that the time column is first. Currently, a lot of indexes have instance_id first. However, when you are doing a delete based on time, the index is effectively useless, so mysql has to do a complete table scan to work out which rows need to be deleted. This will cause mysql to take a lot of time. This is the single biggest thing that you can do - reduce the amount of times ndo2db calls the housekeeping routine. By default, it is every 60 seconds. We've reduced down to 600 seconds. It could probably be even less frequent. One thing I've just thought is to have ndo2db NOT do any housekeeping and do it yourself (mysql is multi-user after all) - reduce the amount of data sent. We stop the broker module sending systemcommands, log entries and passive commands - we've also patched Nagios to not send status data on a reload. By default, Nagios will send data to ndo about the status of all hosts/ services on a reload. This is not required because the db already knows what the status of the things were before the reload! - we're currently testing a de-coupling of NDOMOD from ndo2db. The idea is that NDOMOD writes files and then a separate daemon loads those files into ndo2db. This effectively means that NDO updates are now asynchronous, though there is now a delay in the updates We've also made a patch to Nagios 2.9 (which Ethan has applied to Nagios 3), where the status file is kept between reloads, so you don't get the dreaded "Could not read host and service status information" error. That is available at http://altinity.blogs.com/ dotorg/2007/09/nagios-patch-da.html. We love NDOutils - a lot of our features in Opsview depends on it, including our favourite, Hostgroup Hierarchy (http://opsview.org/ hostgrouphierarchy). So we're interested in making NDOutils work as fast as possible too.

Possible: yes, easy to do: perhaps not. Essentially, you want your remote server to be able to issue an external command to nagios notifying it of the downtime. I'm sure there are many ways that you can initiate a communication between the two machine but there are three ways that I can think to do that fairly easily -- 1) use wget, LWP POST or other command line web tool to craft a properly formatted post to pass the information below to http://www.yournagios.com/nagios/cgi/cmd.cgi as a shutdown script -- cmd_type - 55 cmd_mod - 2 host - com_author - com_data - trigger - (0|1) start_time - end_time - fixed - (0|1) hours - minutes - childoptions - I obtained the above parameters by viewing the scheduled downtime gui page with firefox, then right click, view page info, forms tab. 2) use passwordless ssh from your remote box to run a script on your nagios box that submits the SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME external command directly to the external command file http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?com mand_id=118 3) create your own cgi that does the above that you call instead of cmd.cgi. - Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

As service check failed, host check was executed and I received: "Error: could not execute command". The problem is that I have received numerous emails with same error which means this happened couple of times in short time frame. My check-host-alive definition is default, haven't changed it except that I use check_icmp instead of original check_ping. Yes, I have set up necessary permissions and ownership on it. I use exactly the same configuration for quite some time and this just started to happen. This doesn't occur on every host-check.

(I've used nagios for some years now both compiled and from binaries). This time I couldn't get the init.d script to successfully start because of some SELinux limitation. Running the string of commands from the command line worked fine. i.e.: [root at gibui ~]# touch /var/run/nagios.pid [root at gibui ~]# chown nagios:nagios /var/run/nagios.pid [root at gibui ~]# /usr/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg [root at gibui ~]# /etc/init.d/nagios status nagios (pid 25170) is running... left me with a running nagios daemon. However: [root at gibui ~]# /etc/init.d/nagios restart Running configuration check...done Stopping nagios: done. Starting nagios: done. always failed. In the nagios.log I saw: [1195481305] Nagios 2.10 starting... (PID=23272) [1195481305] LOG VERSION: 2.0 [1195481305] You do not have permission to write to /var/run/nagios.pid [1195481305] Bailing out due to errors encountered while attempting to daemonize... (PID=23272) If I did setenforce=0 (putting selinux into "permissive" mode) then the init script worked. What I did to overcome this was a chcon on the nagios binary, as follows: [root at gibui ~]# chcon -t bin_t /usr/bin/nagios [root at gibui ~]# ll -Z /usr/bin/nagios -rwxrwxr-- root root system_u:object_r:bin_t /usr/bin/nagios And now the init script works fine. Not sure this is the best way to overcome the problem. If anyone more versed in selinux can help, I'd like to hear...

I also have a DHCP server casting each machine on the network their IP address on start-up. Some machines stay on the majority of the time, others for only 4-8 hours a day. The machines generally maintain their same IP address over time as DHCP is designed to try and give a machine back it's same IP, so long as it's available. However, there have been times when a machine has changed its IP addresses as a result of using DHCP on this LAN. Question: When I write the host macro for a given machine, e.g: define host{ host_name random_machine address 192.168.1.100 check_command check_ping } Is there a way to have nagios use a variable to read its address rather than keep the address static? This would allow me to have a script scan the network, and assign IPs to a given variable which is then read by the host's *.cfg file in the /etc/objects directory. Any and all advice is appreciated.

I've pasted in the last notification I received at the end of this message. Note that the duration is just 6 seconds, even though it arrived 10 minutes after the first notification. I also just received a third alert, 40 minutes after the first one. On this one, the temperature was also different from the second one. The duration was again 6 seconds. So, it does seem as if if the service message changes (the temperature value changes), the alert is sent again. Anyway to stop this feature, and only send alerts when the state changes?

Make sure the template generic-service defines all obligatory values. What does the error say in detail? (nagios -v output).

My notification_interval is set to 0, so theoretically it should send me either no repeated notifications, or a notification every 5 minutes, my normal_check_interval. I triggered an ambient temperature warning and let it run for an hour and 42 minutes. The time between notifications was 10, 26, 5, 12, 5, 5 and 25 minutes. In each case, the temperature had changed from the previous notification. The only definition of is_volatile was in the generic-service_nagios2.cfg files, where it's set to 0. I've now included it explicitly in the service definition for my ambient temperature monitor. I'll let you know if this makes a difference.

Message-ID: <1F6FD8004708EE4AB79615574B34E85C015AEFAB@MAIL.mfi.marketforceinfo.com> I'm looking for a little behavior confirmation here, please. It's my understanding that a failed service check is one way a host check is initiated. If Nagios determines the host is down, further service problem notifications are suppressed. However, I still get one or more notifications for the initial service problems. Wouldn't Nagios suppress those initial service checks until at least one host check has been made? For illustration, I have a remote site with host parent/child relationships configured. If the site goes down, I get about 2 dozen service notifications from various child hosts before it realizes the top parent host is down and suppresses notifications for that site. I then receive the one host recovery along with the 2 dozen or so service recovery messages. I had hoped to not receive any service notifications in this scenario. Is this expected behavior?

Obviously, since we don't know it's happening unless we're in the office, this isn't necessarily a good thing -- the person who really needs to respond might not get their notification for minutes or hours, and in the meantime, the service is down. We've found that if we send messages with a 5-second gap, Sprint doesn't complain about us spamming their gateway. Is there a way to get Nagios (or alternately the MTA, which I realize would be off-topic, but I'm not a MTA guy) to stagger out the notifications --without some arcane hack like using escalations?

Ummmmmm... So how do you access the hosts, if they're switching IPs on you and you're not using DNS? Do you just rely on WINS or something?

My notification_interval is set to 0, so theoretically it should send me either no repeated notifications, or a notification every 5 minutes, my normal_check_interval. I triggered an ambient temperature warning and let it run for an hour and 42 minutes. The time between notifications was 10, 26, 5, 12, 5, 5 and 25 minutes. In each case, the temperature had changed from the previous notification. The only definition of is_volatile was in the generic-service_nagios2.cfg files, where it's set to 0.

Escalations aren't in effect, is_volatile is set to zero. notification_interval is 0 and no other nagios install has this problem. Can you stop Nagios, make really sure it isn't running and start it again? Also verify that absolutely nothing else is sending notifications. You can do that by replacing the notification script with a home- hacked version that logs something somewhere every time it sends a notification and then cross-check that log with your notifications. If it still sends multiple notifications, It'll be quite hard to fix without enabling debugging in nagios, and that's quite tedious :-/ -- 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: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I was using NagVis for their frontend but their latest request seems both a little basic and sort of complex for NagVis. I am hoping someone will be able to recommend a method of doing this that is easy to maintain. What they, essentially, want is a table with three columns. The first column will be the name of the hostgroup, the second would be the applications for the hostgroup (A single indicator for all apps that goes red if a single app fails), and the third would be the actual hosts. The second two columns are simply a red/yellow/green indicator with some fourth option for acknowledged problems while the first will be text large enough to read on their wall mount plasma screens. I could do this in NagVis with a background image for the columns/rows but it seems it would be much simpler and easier to maintain as php, html, perl etc. I could code such a page but do not have the in depth knowledge of Nagios to hook in and get the status information needed for the page. Does anyone know of a tool that will accomplish this without much trouble or an easy guide to developing such a thing? Thanks to all in advance for an replies. Best Regards, Mark L.

You should never see this if you have a host check that properly determines the state of the host. When the service returns a non-OK state, the host is checked immediately up to max_check_attempts. No service checks occur during this time. If the host is found to be down, all service notifications are suppressed until the host recovers. The Notifications documentation is more thorough on this. Are you sure that you have your parents directives set up properly? Are the service notifications for the services on the host that is down or child hosts? -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Having said that, you can wrap each notification in a script with a "sleep 5" at the end of it and you will accomplish what you need.

Alternatively you could define lots of nrpe definitions on the dhcp server to get around the need for args... show_dhcp_computer1 for example. Depends on how big your environment is really. I actually starting writing something to display dhcp leases but got sidetracked and didn't finish. If you could wait a little while, there is a good chance that you can just use what I am writing, although I started it just to see who was getting dhcp leases on my network to keep an easier eye on it.

This should entirely work. If implementing a lot of passive checks though, you should really check out NSCA Wrapper on Nagios Exchange. I wrote it cos writing a wrapper to send nsca result for every single check seems to be a waste of time. Just run ./nsca_wrapper -H hostname -S service_name -C '/path/to/plugin -args' and the /path/to/plugin is run, results formatted properly and then submitted to the Nagios server as an NSCA result, no code writing required. Of course you have to have set up NSCA first, it's not magic after all... NSCA Wrapper can be found here: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=980 Because there are better things to have to write a shell script for every check to make it a passive check. If you're using Windows on the remote hosts, then I think the only solution in that case is to use NC_Net as the only Windows nagios monitoring client that supports NSCA (correct me if you know of any other decent ones), but I'm less keen on this than on NSClient++ since it's harder to deploy (NSClient++ is very easy to deploy even to a very large number of hosts since you can easily script the deployment - and I did). NC_Net has dependency on .NET Framework which means you have to go around manually installing that everywhere, it always gives a pop up to complete the installation, so definitely not as nice and simple as NSClient++. So that's the whole NSCA bag if you want it. -h Hari Sekhon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

If I were managing a larger LAN, it's likely that I would use a *nix host to run a DHCP daemon. I've configured the router so that it reserves a given IP for a given MAC that is regularly on the network. This way, the DHCP daemon can still do its job of auto-assigning IPs to new machines, but it can also see to it that the IP doesn't change over time (which solves the problem that I was experiencing using Nagios).

Bensend'; nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP If you dhcp server is on unix, write some code to parse the dhcp leases file to give you the mapping as dynamic input to your check. eg. check_something -H `show_dhcp computer1` ...... or check_something -H `check_nrpe -H dhcp_server -c show_dhcp -a computer1` although this would require passing params through NRPE which I am absolutely against as a security risk. Alternatively you could define lots of nrpe definitions on the dhcp server to get around the need for args... show_dhcp_computer1 for example. Depends on how big your environment is really. I actually starting writing something to display dhcp leases but got sidetracked and didn't finish. If you could wait a little while, there is a good chance that you can just use what I am writing, although I started it just to see who was getting dhcp leases on my network to keep an easier eye on it. I will consider your situation and see what can be done about it when writing my plugin which I should pick up again and finish shortly... -h Hari Sekhon Matt Lozier wrote: > Hi Benny, > > Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately I'm not using DNS, and I don't > want to have to :-) > > Just want to know if there is a way to monitor hosts that obtain their IP > address via DHCP. > > I'll continue to see what I can do with this, and will reply to the list if > I find a solution. > > Thanks again, > > > --- > Matt Lozier > Network Administrator > 972.644.2581, ext. 248 > 972.661.2701 fax > > > > The information contained in this message or any attached document is > confidential and intended only for the individual(s) or entity to which it > is addressed.

I configured all service-notifications to be sent to both the "linux-admin" group and the "linux-admin-sms" group. The first is by email, the second by sms. The Linux-admin-sms is set to only accept C, U and R (critical, unknown, recovered) messages for services. We want the first notification that something is wrong (either critical or warning) not by sms, but only by email. In order to keep configuration as easy as possible and minimizing the work of adding a new host, I simply made an service "escalation" stating: ## All first notifications only go by email define serviceescalation{ host_name * service_description * contact_groups linux-admins; first_notification 1 last_notification 1 notification_interval 15 } This works fine and causes the first message to be only send by Email. Any Critical message beyond the first goes by sms as well as intented. This has an unintended side-effect in case the services goed through the following sequence: - Service goes critical -> notification by email (first notification) - Service goes warning -> notification by email (2nd allert, but no sms is send for warnings) - Service goes ok -> recovery notification by email _and by sms_ Obviously, it is unwanted that a recovery message is send out by SMS in this case, because the recipient didnt know there was a problem in the first place. According to the documentation, this should not be possible: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html#contacts Note: Notifications about host or service recoveries are only sent out if a notification was sent out for the original problem. It doesn't make sense to get a recovery notification for something you never knew was a problem... Can somebody give me more information regarding the way Nagios handles notifications? I thought the above url explained everything clearly but it doesnt explain this problem. Any help appreciated.

I'm using Nagios on a linux OpenSuse 10.2 and NRPE_NT 0.8.0.2. I created different script (batch) on Windows wich work well. Now I scripted a file check and I have problem with backslashes (\) So I used a simple script as follow (test.cmd) : echo %* exit 0 And I use check_nrpe from Suse, trying to send \ like this : ./check_nrpe -H tbm000fb4x00454 -c check_arg\!test which returns : test But the problem comes when I try that : ./check_nrpe -H tbm000fb4x00454 -c check_arg\!test\\this Which returns this : CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages. And on the log : 2007-11-21 09:16:05; 2116; 4;Error: Request contained illegal metachars! 2007-11-21 09:16:05; 2116; 4;Client request was invalid, bailing out...

A couple of open source wbem gateways that I came across were OpenWbem and OpenPegasus, although I've not had time to try either yet so I can't vouch for how good they are. Although relying on nsclient++ is not as pure as just a straight wmi query, you only really need 1 nsclient++ installation, from which you can run wmi queries against any number of windows machines on your network. I am also very interested in this stuff at the moment, so please let me know what you figure out on this. -h -- Hari Sekhon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I am stumped at the moment. I have been over the docs but only found the macros listing. I have a sneaking suspicion that it may have something to do with 2.9/2.10 upgrades but that didn't make much sense to me.

This made the message static and unchanging and prevented repeated notifications from going out. I did completely stop and restart Nagios, but only after I made the above change, so I don't know for sure that my change caused the problem to go away, but I strongly suspect so. I didn't have the time to change the notifications script. However, notifications are logged in /var/log/syslog on my system. They always agree with the occurrence of notifications that I received. When I get some time, I'd be happy to try to investigate this problem further, since it's not supposed to happen and my solution removes some functionality that's desirable. If anyone can give me any pointers or documents regarding running Nagios in debug mode, I'll try it and report back my finding. Thanks, again, for all the help and suggestions offered regarding my problem. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Ericsson [mailto:ae at op5.se] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 5:01 PM To: Zembower, Kevin Cc: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval seems to be ignored Zembower, Kevin wrote: > Just a follow-up: Setting 'is_volatile 0' explicitly in the service > definition didn't seem to affect this behavior; it still sent me 3 > notifications, seemingly when the temperature changed. > Right, this is fairly weird. Escalations aren't in effect, is_volatile is set to zero. notification_interval is 0 and no other nagios install has this problem. Can you stop Nagios, make really sure it isn't running and start it again? Also verify that absolutely nothing else is sending notifications. You can do that by replacing the notification script with a home- hacked version that logs something somewhere every time it sends a notification and then cross-check that log with your notifications. If it still sends multiple notifications, It'll be quite hard to fix without enabling debugging in nagios, and that's quite tedious :-/ -- 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: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Now it's complete.) While playing with Nagios-Grapher (1.6.1-rc5) I had some problem, caused by our https/proxy/http setup as outlined below: { world } ---> [proxy (pound)] ---> [apache] request sent: request received: https://*/nagios/ -> http://*/nagios/ The proxy terminates the HTTPS connection and thus the nagios cgi scripts have the "feeling", that they're called via http://. That's no problem for nagios at all. But for the Nagios Grapher. In some places the grapher generates self referencing urls (using CGI::self_url()). And of course, these urls are wrong, because they contain "http" as protocol, where "https" should be used. I applied a simple patch in NagiosGrapher/HTML.pm.in: --- NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc5-0.3.orig/lib/NagiosGrapher/HTML.pm.in 2007-08-10 17:05:31.000000000 +0200 +++ NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc5-0.3/lib/NagiosGrapher/HTML.pm.in 2007-11-21 11:27:06.000000000 +0100 @@ -279,7 +279,10 @@ @_ ); - my $url = $self->Q->self_url; + # We do not include protocol and host information, since this + # information could be something else then visible from the outer world (e.g. + # if there is sitting a proxy (SSL) in front of us. + my $url = $self->Q->url(-relative => 1, -query => 1); return $url unless($args{Type}); From my current point of view it seems to work.

My experience leads me to believe that: IF - you only define 3000 or fewer services - you set service_inter_check_delay_method=s - you set service and host check timeouts to 10 seconds - other settings as you have them here Then.... You can expect to process about 500 active checks per minute, or 8.333 per second. That means a 6 minute service check frequency is about all you can expect. We use 10 minutes by default. Average service check latency should stay down to 10 seconds or less, in this situation. Caveats, of course: Are there active host checks going on, or is the system steady state? Are you doing anything with performance data? What else is running on the machine? What is the hardware (Not that this seems to matter as much as it should with Nagios)? All these can affect throughput and latency. We are working on this problem and testing several enhancements to the GroundWork packaging of Nagios that we plan to release in the next few months. We are also reviewing the Nagios 3 code and contributing everything we find that could help. Your talk was insightful, and inspired our engineers to look at some of your methods. Nice work.

We currently have close to 480 hosts and well over 5000 services and NagiosGrapher works. We have about 4500 rrds that are being tended to, so I doubt the problem you're seeing is caused by the amount of objects you create graphs for. Your problem is most probably caused in the RRDG CGIs, not during the data collection, so I'd start debugging there.

I'm coming into this a bit late, but are you sure you don't have state_stalking enabled for this service? You will get a new notification if the various notification filters are passed, and: 1) The state has changed, or 2) The notification_interval has been reached, or 3) is_volatile is set, or 4) state_stalking is enabled, and the text output of the plugin has changed We use state_stalking for some services, eg SNMP error alerts (where we want to re-notify if a new alert comes in, but not if its just the same one again) Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Yes. It was first that I thought. But perhaps there would be a best form to deal with it. :-) Thanks for your answer, Marc.

But > this is another issue. This issue is solved now: the check_ssh doesn't send a '\n' at the end of its performance data, other check_* do. Thus the fifo_write-bug didn't break a lot, just created an additional single 'n' on a line itself. Except for check_ssh. This way each performance output directly after the output from check_ssh wasn't processed, because collect2.pl read a single line, containing first the ssh *and* then the other performance data.

Please explain me if you know. It's impossible to know without checking your entire configuration, but if you make really, really sure that Nagios does as expected of it at one point, and then change *only* the log_notifications value only to see it fail (assuming you've verified everything else again, ofcourse), it's reasonable to assume that what you're seeing is a bug. > Whom should I report if this is a bug? > nagios-devel at lists.sourceforge.net. Make really sure notification_options, notification_period and everything else suggests that Nagios really should have sent the notification before you report there though. False bug-reports drain time from developers. When it happens because someone hasn't read the documentation or verified their own configuration, you can get scolded fairly hard. -- 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: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I have the 6210 with software version 04.36. I have a DAU9 serial cable. What I don't have is any success :( I tried running the phone with gnokii, without any success. There are tons of "working" configurations out there. Tried most of them, so far non worked. Just to make sure, the cable and phone are ok, I tried running the Nokia PC Suite on Windows 2000. Also, without success, the phone is not found. Since the phone already worked with a serial cable connection, and the cable is new, I don't think that one of them is actually broken, but what do I know. So, my question is: Is anybody out there using a Nokia 6210 with a serial cable (DAU9 would be best) successfully? Maybe even with gnokii? If so, it would be awesome, if you could provide me with a REALLY working configuration, so I could either get it to run, or ensure that "something" is broken. Or maybe someone has the same issues and we could share experience and maybe figure it out? Right now I'm using the following gnokii configuration: [global] port = /dev/ttyS0 model = 7110 initlength = default connection = serial use_locking = yes serial_baudrate = 9600 smsc_timeout = 10 [gnokiid] bindir = /usr/sbin/ [connect_script] TELEPHONE = 12345678 [disconnect_script] Thanks a lot in advance ;-) Regards, Philipp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

And to check all clients every 5 minutes is not necessary and creates to much network traffic in my eyes. And i also have to install and configure nrpe on all computers.

If you aren't rabid about keeping the output, you can specify checks that check one partition at a time, which will make output a lot shorter and therefore not susceptible to running into the input limits in Nagios (or whatever transports might see the plugin along the way). That's the "doesn't matter how you run it" answer though. Is it being run via nrpe? If yes, you'll need to extend the NRPE protocol (there are presently discussions regarding this on nagios-devel@) to be able to send arbitrarily long output. What nagios version are you using? If 2.x or 2.x, you may have to increase the input limit in the header files and then re-compile Nagios. AFAIU, Nagios 3 already supports arbitrarily long input from plugins, so that shouldn't be a problem. -- 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: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I have the 6210 with software version 04.36. I have a DAU9 serial cable. What I don't have is any success :( I tried running the phone with gnokii, without any success. There are tons of "working" configurations out there. Tried most of them, so far non worked. Just to make sure, the cable and phone are ok, I tried running the Nokia PC Suite on Windows 2000. Also, without success, the phone is not found. Since the phone already worked with a serial cable connection, and the cable is new, I don't think that one of them is actually broken, but what do I know. So, my question is: Is anybody out there using a Nokia 6210 with a serial cable (DAU9 would be best) successfully? Maybe even with gnokii? If so, it would be awesome, if you could provide me with a REALLY working configuration, so I could either get it to run, or ensure that "something" is broken. Or maybe someone has the same issues and we could share experience and maybe figure it out? Right now I'm using the following gnokii configuration: [global] port = /dev/ttyS0 model = 7110 initlength = default connection = serial use_locking = yes serial_baudrate = 9600 smsc_timeout = 10 [gnokiid] bindir = /usr/sbin/ [connect_script] TELEPHONE = 12345678 [disconnect_script] Thanks a lot in advance ;-) Regards, Philipp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I don't know what was the problem was, but with moving to a different box my configuration worked. It seems as if (for some reason) the linux box didn't like the mobile, and the windows box was... well... a windows box ;-)) Anyway, if someone wants to use the combination of the 6210, a dau9 cable and linux with gnokii, this configuration worked for me: [global] port = /dev/ttyS0 #might be different, depending on how many serial ports you have, an which you use, this is com1. model = 7110 #this driver includes the 6210 initlength = default connection = dau9p # connection = serial also works, but with the dau9p setting you get a way better performance with the dau9 cable. use_locking = yes serial_baudrate = 19200 #unused setting, only in AT mode. smsc_timeout = 10 [gnokiid] bindir = /usr/sbin/ [connect_script] TELEPHONE = 12345678 [disconnect_script] [logging] debug = off rlpdebug = off Anyway, I AM experiencing instability with this combination, my first guess was that the cell phone might be a bit odd (some commands ended up in an error and the cell phone wouldn't work until restarted), so I think I'll give gammu a shot.

However you need to either run the nrpe daemon or to be able to login wit ssh on the oracle server. On the examples page there is a section on Oracle alert logs: @searches = ( { tag => 'oraalerts', logfile => '......../alert.log', criticalpatterns => [ 'ORA\-0204', # error in reading control file 'ORA\-0206', # error in writing control file 'ORA\-0210', # cannot open control file 'ORA\-0257', # archiver is stuck 'ORA\-0333', # redo log read error 'ORA\-0345', # redo log write error 'ORA\-04[4-7][0-9]',# ORA-0440 - ORA-0485 background process failure 'ORA\-048[0-5]', 'ORA\-06[0-3][0-9]',# ORA-6000 - ORA-0639 internal errors 'ORA\-1114', # datafile I/O write error 'ORA\-1115', # datafile I/O read error 'ORA\-1116', # cannot open datafile 'ORA\-1118', # cannot add a data file 'ORA\-1578', # data block corruption 'ORA\-1135', # file accessed for query is offline 'ORA\-1547', # tablespace is full 'ORA\-1555', # snapshot too old 'ORA\-1562', # failed to extend rollback segment 'ORA\-162[89]', # ORA-1628 - ORA-1632 maximum extents exceeded 'ORA\-163[0-2]', 'ORA\-165[0-6]', # ORA-1650 - ORA-1656 tablespace is full 'ORA\-4031', # out of shared memory. ], warningpatterns => [ 'ORA\-3113', # end of file on communication channel 'ORA\-6501' # PL/SQL internal error ] }); On the DB-server you need the check_logfiles plugin and the above config file. Then you define a service define service { service_description check_oraalerts host_name dbsrv check_command check_by_ssh!/path/to/check_logfiles -f /path/to/above_configfile is_volatile 1 check_period 7x24 max_check_attempts 1 ... } define command { command_name check_by_ssh command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C '$ARG1$' } and you should get a nagios notification every time new error messages are appended to the alertlog.

You need the std plugins on the remote box in order to execute it on that side. I'd also recommend nrpe over check_by_ssh unless you have a good reason for doing it. -h -- Hari Sekhon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Without nrpe check_by_ssh is your only chance to run the plugin on the database server. If you're limited to snmp then i see no chance except writing your own extension to snmpd (http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Tut:Extending_snmpd_using_perl).

Every once in a while I get errors like these: ERROR: running table : Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index 50. And the next check: 1 process matching nagios (0) I have googled for this error as well but could not find anything related to this, and it seems like the error-index is not always the same. There are some hints on that the community name is wrong or not RW, but that's simply not the case, since after a few minutes I get an OK back. I am using check_snmp_process.pl version: 1.4 Though I have tried version 1.10 from http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_process.html it seems to have the same errors, so I think its not related to the check itself.

That is the syntax Counter64. All the others can be handled by SNMPv1 managers. The net impact on bi-lingual agents is that they should make sure that they never return a varBind with a Counter64 value to an SNMPv1 manager. The best accepted practice is to consider such object instances implicitly excluded from the view. So: . On an SNMPv1 GET request, we return an error-status of noSuchName and the error-index is set to the varBind that causes this error. When I use check_snmp_process.pl -2 it seems not to happen. Can anybody confirm this?

Every once in a while I get errors like these: ERROR: running table : Received noSuchName(2) error-status at error-index 50. And the next check: 1 process matching nagios (0) I have googled for this error as well but could not find anything related to this, and it seems like the error-index is not always the same. There are some hints on that the community name is wrong or not RW, but that's simply not the case, since after a few minutes I get an OK back. I am using check_snmp_process.pl version: 1.4 Though I have tried version 1.10 from http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_process.html it seems to have the same errors, so I think its not related to the check itself.

Lots of people don't like the ucd version and use that instead. I've used it on Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux.

Using nrpe like this means you only have to "punch one hole" in the firewall to communicate with nrpe and let nrpe execute the checks as a kind of proxy if you will.

I searched the mailing list and forums and came up empty handed. This is a common problem if you happen to have two instances of Nagios running. So the obvious plan is to stop Nagios the normal way. Then see if anything is still lingering about and shoot to kill them. Tehn startup Nagios again. If the problem remains also check that you are not mixing startup methods.

We receive regular "recovery" message without getting any Warning/Criticals. Any help would be highly appreciated. Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards, Jasper Filon CAIWAY Business -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] Namens Jasper Filon Verzonden: woensdag 21 november 2007 9:13 Aan: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Onderwerp: [Nagios-users] Escalations causing "Recover" messages with noproblem message send Dear All, I'm implementing Nagios for a large ISP in the Netherlands. I configured all service-notifications to be sent to both the "linux-admin" group and the "linux-admin-sms" group. The first is by email, the second by sms. The Linux-admin-sms is set to only accept C, U and R (critical, unknown, recovered) messages for services. We want the first notification that something is wrong (either critical or warning) not by sms, but only by email. In order to keep configuration as easy as possible and minimizing the work of adding a new host, I simply made an service "escalation" stating: ## All first notifications only go by email define serviceescalation{ host_name * service_description * contact_groups linux-admins; first_notification 1 last_notification 1 notification_interval 15 } This works fine and causes the first message to be only send by Email. Any Critical message beyond the first goes by sms as well as intented. This has an unintended side-effect in case the services goed through the following sequence: - Service goes critical -> notification by email (first notification) - Service goes warning -> notification by email (2nd allert, but no sms is send for warnings) - Service goes ok -> recovery notification by email _and by sms_ Obviously, it is unwanted that a recovery message is send out by SMS in this case, because the recipient didnt know there was a problem in the first place. According to the documentation, this should not be possible: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html#contacts Note: Notifications about host or service recoveries are only sent out if a notification was sent out for the original problem. It doesn't make sense to get a recovery notification for something you never knew was a problem... Can somebody give me more information regarding the way Nagios handles notifications? I thought the above url explained everything clearly but it doesnt explain this problem. Any help appreciated.

This is likely something to do with your socket file. Check the socket file in ndo2db configuration file, mine is in: /opt/nagios/var/ndo.sock It is referenced in ndo2db.cfg with this line: socket_name=/opt/nagios/var/ndo.sock if socket exists, it may have been created with insufficient permissions, or the directory mask was bad, remove the file, check permissions and restart ndo.

Because of the number of notifications that I get through some passive volatile service checks I was wondering whether anyone has seen one that was compiled in C rather than perl, as Nagios seems to take quite a while running the notification script when I get a flood of events - I'm thinking that a C program might be faster. Are there any jabber alternatives to the perl script? If there isn't one then I'll look at using sec.pl to handle these passive checks (they're SNMP traps, after all) and only produce a single alert (so far they've been routing topology change notifications from multiple routers & switches in our infrastructure). Best Regards, Giles ######################################################################## ## I've tried replacing the notify_via_jabber.pl perl script with centerim. It essentially allows to run centerim in the background (as the Nagios) user, and allows me to, as the Nagios user, send jabber alerts via the command line. A small issue is that as soon as I modify my commands.cfg to have a notification I find it does not work, and cannot seem to talk to the centerim process (centerim is running as the Nagios user). This is what works from the command line: echo "Host '$HOSTALIAS$' is $HOSTSTATE$ - Info: $HOSTOUTPUT$ - Time: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/local/bin/centerim -s msg -p jab -t username-eu7EghD4TOFEiooADzr8i9i2O/JbrIOy at public.gmane.org This is what doesn't work from the commands.cfg file: # 'notify-by-jabber' command definition define command{ command_name notify-by-jabber command_line /bin/echo "Service: $SERVICEDESC$ - Host: $HOSTNAME$ - Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ - State: $SERVICESTATE$ - Info: $SERVICEOUTPUT$ - Date: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/local/bin/centerim -s msg -p jab -t username-eu7EghD4TOFEiooADzr8i9i2O/JbrIOy at public.gmane.org } >From the Nagios log, I see it calling notify-by-jabber but I get no such alert (I was using $CONTACTPAGER$ as the -t parameter, but tried hardcoding it in the command and it still doesn't work). Any ideas as to what might cause this? On an aside, I have implemented sec.pl, but still have Nagios spending too much time processing notifications, so really need to replace the slow notify_by_jabber perl script. Centerim looks ideal, but for some reason isn't working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

We have an application that sends SNMP traps to a trap server. Which then uses send_nsca to send status changes. The application may notice a problem and send a trap, thus changing the status of the Nagios service, but the problem is self-correcting and the application may be Ok within just a few seconds. However, the Nagios service has become critical and thus send a notification. Not a happy thing at 2AM when you are sound asleep. Looking through the service definition I do not see anything that applies. If it were an active service, I could use max_check_attempts. However, in this cases, we only get the traps on every status change, so if the service is down, the trap is set and thus the notification is sent. Within the trap receiver, there is no way to wait a specific period of time before sending the messages, only wait for X traps in Y minutes. I am at a loss as to how to get Nagios to wait for a specific length of time before starting the notification other than creating some major kludge like tweaking the notification mechanism somehow.

Message-ID: <6FC9F9894A9F8C49A722CF9F2132FC220F730CB6@ms05.mailstreet2003.net> Hello, Have anyone got any Nagios Master/Slaves solutions that are currently being used in production? The reason that I am asking is because I would like to use Nagios to monitor several hosts/services at multiple locations. I have at least 4 facilities that I would like to assign a Slave per facility while the Master would stay at the office. Each Slave would be monitoring the hosts and services only within the facility that it has been assigned. Firewalls and routings will be in place to prevent the Slaves from interacting with each other. Only the Master will be accessible from each of those Slaves. I have experimented with using NSCA to send passive checks over to the Master from each of the Slaves. It seems to be the solution only if I am not concerned about the Master having a failure or if the route between the slaves to the Master has been interrupted. I have considered giving a Slave the ability to self- promote if this certain Slave detects that Master has became unavailable. That would also include having to make modifications to the send_nsca IP Address on those other Slaves. That includes the firewall and routing adjustments being required. I have looked at DNX but I am thinking that it is really designed to cross check the hosts/services from each of those "Nodes" to distribute the work loads. I do not want the Slaves to overlap each other's territory unless a certain Slave have been self-promoted. Anyone have suggestions on a working solution or can point me to some reading documentations of how someone have set up a HA Nagios Master/Slaves solution?

The server is crashing because of a memory leak. First it stops accepting incoming HTTP requests to try and conserve what memory is left, then it stops accepting RDP connections, then the TCP/IP fails completely. And yes, it is a Mount Everest of problems as it's my RES PowerFuse server that provides remote desktop to remote users in a Citrix type environment. Fortunately when the HTTP stops accepting connections, I can usually log in via RDP remotely and reboot the server, but I would like to know if I've missed the window and RDP is no longer up and running and I have to physically drive to the site and reboot from there. Once RDP fails, TCP/IP is usually right behind it. An update on OS and PowerFuse software is scheduled, but until then, I have to keep the remote users up and running.

I know this seems like a broken setup -- it is. :) We're in planning phases for better machine user/group management, but creating a one-off machine in terms of users/groups is difficult at the moment because the flat files are automatically spawned by some, err... "feature challenged" scripts. I'm pushing hard to get this changed, but for now, I can't change change a user's group membership without it affecting that on every machine. I realize I could remedy this situation by running apache as www-data:nagios on our nagios server, but my question isn't so much about making it work -- it's about whether nagios is broken in the way that it deals with creating its command pipe or whether I've over looked something (a bug vs. my poor brain, if you will).

Moving an infrastructure towards using something like CFengine or puppet will make you saner in the long run. Much, much saner. Setting it up to push a single config is a little overboard, but it makes syncing and sanitizing all of your machines REALLY easy. We use CFengine here, so feel free to contact me off-list for more specifics about it.

Message-ID: Hi, I'm currently using NRPE to monitor a few things, and it looks like I'm facing a bug : depending on the plugin output, the end of output is... "strange". Some plugins with lots of output behave correctly, others with just a few words are not OK A typical output is like this one : # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H gate02 -c nrpe_listcmds check_users check_load check_hda1 check_zombie_procs check_total_procs check_firewall check_blackholes check_varparts check_slash check_quattor nrpe_listcmds ?????????????????????????????????????? ??????&??/??8??A??J??S??\??e??n??w?????????????????????????????????????????????????"??+??4??=??F??O??X??a??j??s??|?? ?????? ???????????????????? Not cool... If I add to the bash plugin an << echo -e "\0" >> at the end, the output is clean again... however, I add some "echo" or echo -e '\n' , the output still contains garbage. Would this be a bug ? Or would I be doing something wrong ? I tried changing the linefeed format (dos2unix and unix2dos) : with msdos linefeeds, the output cannot be read, and unix liefeeds don't change my output. These strange chars at the end of the output always look to be the same for a given plugin, but they differ between plugins. I'm wondering if I'm seeing the remainings of the 1024bytes output limit... ? I'm using nrpe-2.8.1-1.i386 and nrpe-plugin-2.8.1-1.i386 on an SL4.4 i386 box...

Robert, Affecting the apache user will affect *all* instances of apache in our infrastructure (regular website, as well as BackupPC's apache, etc). I know this seems like a broken setup -- it is. :) We're in planning phases for better machine user/group management, but creating a one-off machine in terms of users/groups is difficult at the moment because the flat files are automatically spawned by some, err... "feature challenged" scripts. I'm pushing hard to get this changed, but for now, I can't change change a user's group membership without it affecting that on every machine. I realize I could remedy this situation by running apache as www-data:nagios on our nagios server, but my question isn't so much about making it work -- it's about whether nagios is broken in the way that it deals with creating its command pipe or whether I've over looked something (a bug vs. my poor brain, if you will).

I suppose I can push (rsync, scp, whatever) my nrpe.cfg from the Nagios server if I need to add any commands. Is there a better way to manage this? I'd like the Nagios server to be a central point of configuration. I am using nrpe's --enable-command-args option and passing parameters via check_nrpe, so once the monitored host has the nrpe.cfg, there wouldn't be much to do there. What about through SVN? I've never done it, but I just thought of it when you mentioned centralizing it. I keep track of my Nagios configuration files this way, but it wouldn't be hard to add NRPE into the mix so that you can checkout the latest set of files. Just an idea...

However, this is not really what I am looking for. I am not really interested in proof of concepts. Those documentations that would show the actual setups that are in use would be useful for me to start off with. I saw that cfengine is mentioned for management of the Nagios configuration files across the servers. It seemed interesting. Using SCP with keys was part of my original plan. This may change or it would not. Any other information about how a failover can occur for a slave when the master goes down?

Then you likely need something more sophisticated than a timeperiod definition such as having that process kick off the submission of an external command to nagios. You would need to think about how nagios is supposed to know that the problem service really isn't a problem and work from there.

I used to run a lot of SNMP checks, but every now and again I would get bottlenecks with bandwidth. This would then cause the checks to timeout and fail. I switched to using NRPE and I haven't had any issue like that since. Checks seem to be done much faster. This is my experience using it in regards to limited, or constrained, bandwidth across networks. I do both CPU load and disk space checks and definitely prefer the disk check across NRPE.

While you included host and service templates, you didn't include any definitions that actually use those templates.

Mark, I encountered the same issue, spent a while poking at NDO and found that tuning down the table trimming options in ndo2db.cfg helped reduce the time of this symptom by a third or more, depending on how short of an age I chose. This also cut the user cpu time (taken up by mysqld) by about half, as well as the storage and I/O overhead. YMMV, of course, but I found that at this point I don't need to keep the data in those very busy tables longer than an hour or so - it'll be *very* useful of course when I have an interface that can use that data, but for now, keeping it for only a short period is fine. IANA db expert, but from what I can tell and as Ton suggests, the table indexing doesn't appear to be optimal - I see a high handler_read_rnd_next count, which usually indicates unnecessary table scans). As far as this particular symptom goes, though, I think it might be the indexing in conjunction with the re-sending of retained status data that's the culprit here (see the blurb on 'Do not resend retained status to NDO' on http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2007/09/nagios-patch-da.html) > We are monitoring: > > # Active Host / Service Checks:272 / 329 > This doesn't seem like enough to bog down a Dell PowerEdge 1855 with 2GB > RAM onboard. For comparison, I'm running one of our hosts (Nagios 2.10, ndoutils 1.4b6, MySQL 5.0.22 on CentOS 5, active hosts/services 504/2771), on a PowerEdge 1850 w/ 2GB :) Without any ndo2db tuning, I was seeing around a 30-second wait while the status.dat was being recreated (presumably waiting on ndomod). After tuning, I was able to drop that time from ~30 seconds to between 6-8. One caveat - if you do choose to trim those ages, you'll note a longer pause after the next Nagios restart, as NDO goes about dropping older rows. Once that's complete, be sure to optimize the relevant tables to reclaim the unused space.

Why not just have one global nrpe config that you have on all hosts though? This is way easier to manage and maintain. You just make up different check command names for very specific things.

We had a problem the other day where the nagios process died and no one noticed it for over 30 minutes. Therefore, I was thinking about ways to monitor Nagios itself. One simply way would be a cronjob that checks if the nagios process is running and then uses yaps or something to send an SMS. But what about cases where the nagios process is running, but for whatever reason the messages are not being processed. I was thinking about setting up a service that is triggered by a cronjob and then sends a notification. This notification writes a flag file and every X minutes a cron job checks the age of the flag file. If the flag file is too old, it sends an SMS via yaps. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I was wondering if other people had already implemented something similar.

You'll spend more time coding in the long run. Don't get me wrong, the learning curve for a configuration engine (CFengine, puppet, et al) is moderately steep, but once done, it's very satisfying. And it makes adding more things to do quite simple. You could use a script for this, certainly, but you'll be writing functions that are just a reinvention of the CFengine/puppet wheel. This is the exact reason CFengine was written -- to replace complex/monolithic scripts.

NSCA daemon makes the host/service check determination based simply on the number of arguments. If you take a remote nagios instance which is reporting passive host/service checks, you can bump the debugging_level=384 and see something like this: [1196258852.155446] [256.1] [pid=20619] Running command '/usr/local/libexec/nagios/send_host_check fbsd05 0 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.67 ms''... In this case, there are the proper number of arguments: 3 But NSCA recieving this msg is seeing 4 arguments. A closer look at /usr/local/libexec/nagios/send_host_check reveals why: #!/bin/sh /bin/echo "$1","$2","$3" | /usr/local/sbin/send_nsca -H master.tld \ -c /usr/local/etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg -d "," This means that depending on how shit is escaped within: - Nagios on remote node - /bin/sh - send_nsca binary Therefore, a $3 value of: 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.67 ms' May or may not be truncated into three values.

It really seems like /usr/local/libexec/nagios/send_{host,service}_check is superfluous. Its a lot of extra forking and pipeing on an already deadly inefficient system.

I didn't feel like it. So the freshness dates are hard coded. Everything is converted to seconds since the epoch, even the date stamp supplied on the end of the freshclam -V output. It made it easier for me to deal with. This code has been tested with a current sig file, and one on a dusty old z/VM guest that hadn't been fired up in almost 2 years. It detected that the signature file was 579 days old. Presumably, the 2 day old check works, but I've not got a machine with a sig file in that state.

Seems like an unusual example to choose considering it's a pretty clear conflict with the most common plugin test around (check_ping, check_icmp).

This is the template we have used for a long time (probably with those same settings and over a hundred nagios restarts). I also have similar for my host template (but it is "max_check_attempts 5"). You mention "3 minutes" above, but I don't see any indication that it is checked multiple times before the notification. What types of logs would I see if it checked but not notifying yet because still max_check_attempts-1 to do? When I watch my logs I only see one indication of the "SERVICE ALERT:...CRITICAL;HARD" and then immediately (same second) followed by the corresponding "SERVICE NOTIFICATION"s. \ Also when I previously setup debugging for nrpe, I didn't see them checked multiple times (every minute) on failures. But I may try that again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

It's displayed in the web interface in the 'Attempts' column or Current Attempt if you're looking at a specific service detail. It'll be 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3. If you see 1/1 then your template isn't being applied as you think it is. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

I read the docs over and over again, but your explanations made it more clear for me. I see it was working and now that I knew what to look for even my old nagios logs showed it in action. For anyone reading the archive, here is an example once I added more logging with: log_service_retries=1 [1196288346] SERVICE ALERT: foo.example.com;mysql;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 20 seconds. [1196288406] SERVICE ALERT: foo.example.com;mysql;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 20 seconds. [1196288466] SERVICE ALERT: foo.example.com;mysql;CRITICAL;HARD;3;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 20 seconds. [1196288466] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: jeremy;foo.example.com;mysql;CRITICAL;notify-by-epager;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 20 seconds. It shows three attempts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

That is, between 00:00 and 06:00 a series of job is run that will generate load from 10 to 15. Outside this windows, load should be no more than 3. I have read all the documentation, but I cant find a way to implement this in Nagios. I have found 2 options: - defining 2 services (load_daily and load_nightly) with different tresholds. This will make 2 services show up in nagios that are essential the same - using escalations to supress messages during the night. This will however still show errors in the webinterface and spoil you reports with fake errors How can I tell Nagios that during the day the load should be max 3 (warning) and max 5 (critical) but during the night, it's ok if they are 8 (warning) and 10 (critical)? I'm sure other people have ran into this same problem and found a solution for it? Please share! I'm running Nagios 2.10 Thanx for the help.

There's a part of the script where it opens the Nagios.cmd file. I'm not a python coder, but it appears to me that it writes to the file with 'w' which would overwrite any pending commands that Nagios has not yet processed: #print mondata_res output = open('/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd', 'w') results = "[" + mytime + "] " + "PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;" \ + host + ";" + "TRAP-" + service_suffix + ";" \ + return_code + ";" + mondata_res + "\n" output.write(results) I'm thinking that this script should be opening the file with the 'a' (Append) mode, so that unprocessed commands in nagios.cmd do not get overwritten. I do appear to be missing some traps within Nagios, I can see them as far as snmptt, but it seems either sec.pl or snmptraphandling.py somehow doesn't process them and the trap doesn't make it as far as Nagios. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

I think the best hw solution would be the Falcon modems, but unfortunately they are hard and expensive to find here.

What I have is as follows :- 1 master nagios host (running FreeBSD 6.2). This host executes active checks some of which trigger event handlers (ie. to restart web servers, etc... the usual stuff). 1 slave nagios host (running FreeBSD 5.5). This host rsyncs the nagios configuration files from the master, and performs the check_nagios plugin to determine if the master is running. If it is not, then it takes over active checks. The above has been setup using the documentation accompanying the nagios installation and has v 2.10 installed. Yesterday I tried to get the slave to receive service check results from the master by running the nsca daemon on the slave and adding commands to enable send_nsca on the master to transmit results to the slave. To achieve this I forced the master to obsess over services and this all worked correctly. However, when I checked the system today I have found that although an event handler should have been executed overnight, it did NOT get executed. The only way I've been able to get the master to actually run the event handlers as needed has been to disable obsessing on the master - hence I no longer have the slave passively receiving service check results. I've sort of worked round this by enabling a global event handler on the master which calls the send_nsca command, so at the moment the slave is passively gettings the changes of state to services (but, as the http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html page says, "We could use event handlers to report changes in the state of a service, but that just doesn't cut it.") and the master is happily executing event handlers as needed. Anyone else had this problem with event handlers when obsessing is enabled ? And does anyone have this working correctly ? thanks, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Two services with different time periods for checking. It's doesn't look as pretty in the web interface but it works like a charm. The other method would be to write a wrapper that performs the check and alerts on the value you set based on time. This wouldn't be hard to do to be honest but it seems like re-inventing the wheel to some degree. The other question I have is if the servers are capable of withstanding a load that high why not just have your high threshold set the same all time? My situation isn't load based but with the standard Nagios plugin you can alert on any of the three points that uptime returns (here I make the assumption you are monitoring *nix boxen). If the situation calls for being able to be alerted to spikes during normal operating hours then you will either need two checks and time period for each or a wrapper that checks the time and returns an alert based on the time and load.

At first, I thought this could be a 32 vs. 64-bit issue, but the Nagios host is 64-bit while both remotes are 32. >From the command line, both hosts work fine and 'echo $?' shows 0 for both. Logging into the remote boxes and running check_disk manually is fine as well. Using -v doesn't help since it doesn't show tracing information. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this? Are there any other tricks I can try for debugging this? Any help would be appreciated immensely.

It can also be used to alert you if any unauthorized machine is detected as having a dhcp lease by going Critical. This works by giving the plugin any combination of Whitelists/Blacklists of Hostnames and/or Mac Addresses. Combine for maximum tripping effect. Outputting is also flexible so you can choose whether you want to include/exclude Hostnames and/or Macs displayed as well as just IPs when displaying the leases (default is Hostname = IP). There are also switches for sorting the order of display and whether you want compacted output, as well as whether to give the summary information on the number of active leases. As usual, it should be flexible enough for all needs, and is open to suggestions/constructive criticisms or feature requests which should be sent to this address. Find the plugin here: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=1164 Hope you find it useful Thanks -h -- Hari Sekhon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

This not only checks to see if nagios has crashed, but also checks the age of the status file. If a problem is detected with either (and I have had both situations) the script then first attempts to restart nagios via a full stop/start, then checks again and e-mails me with the result. So far, this has always just been a status notification saying that it had restarted nagios, as the stop/ start has worked as expected, but if for some reason that should fail it would notify me of this fact as well. ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service Inc. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7250 x293 ----------------------------------------------- > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper > from Novell.

It does not.

If not, ignore the rest of this message. :) If so, what about some type of script to write a flag file when the host reboots. Then a script which checks to see if that flag file exists. If it exists, exit with an OK status and delete the flag file. I set something similar to this up yesterday with an AS400 backup. My boss was tired of getting a page off of a completed backup. He set things up to write to an NFS share with a simple touch flag file. I then check to see if that files exists. If the backup completed successfully the night before it sees the file, says ok, deletes the file and exits normally. If the file isn't there, then it exits with an error to which we get notified. #!/bin/bash FILE=/var/flags/AS400_DAILY if [ -f $FILE ]; then echo "OK: AS400 backup completed normally." rm -f $FILE exit 0 else echo "CRIT: AS400 backup error." exit 2 fi A simple script of some sort linked to /etc/init.d could write the flag file after the system boots and disks are mounted. Once that's there, then you can check if the file exists. It's not elegant, but would work. If anyone has a better idea, please chime in.

I have a script that does a little more than this, but that's the basic idea. you should be able to do this with check_snmp (or a quick perl script that uses snmpget and does regular expression matches). - Josh ________________________________ From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net on behalf of chris serafin Sent: Thu 11/29/2007 11:59 AM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] How to get reboot messages I have a bunch of devices which alert me fine up/down, but I'm looking to find how to get messages when they reboot.

I have a script that does a little more than this, but that's the basic idea. you should be able to do this with check_snmp (or a quick perl script that uses snmpget and does regular expression matches). - Josh ________________________________ From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net on behalf of chris serafin Sent: Thu 11/29/2007 11:59 AM To: Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] How to get reboot messages I have a bunch of devices which alert me fine up/down, but I'm looking to find how to get messages when they reboot.

When the primary goes down there's an event handler that mounts the NAS on the backup and starts nagios. When I implemented this setup I thought it would be beneficial in the sense that I would have all the status data retained from the primary instance. This is not the case when I initiate a failover the backup system which mounts all the same data that the primary had prior to being brought down doesn't see any saved status data all checks are in a pending state until the distributed servers send new check data via nsca. The other confusing thing is that if I fail it back over to the primary it see's the old saved status data. I'm not sure what I'm missing here can anyone enlighten me?

In a similar situation, I found it helpful to break my command line tests into steps. First ssh directly into the remote as nagios and execute the disk check, as you seem to have done. Then sudo -u nagios ssh -i /var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa nagios at remote "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -e -m -p /" to make sure the key is working and the args and path are correct.

I once had a sticky problem where I could get the above working, but nagios kept telling me unknown.

I'm not aware of any way to retrospectively schedule downtime but you could probably solve your problem by adjusting your checking procedure. Assuming you or a colleague has access to change the html on your websites, you could have a standard string of text that you add to all your websites so that Nagios is checking the same text on each site. Whenever a new site is added, just make sure that your standard text string is added and you will avoid this problem in the first place. hth Aidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

There is a server on the same network as the Nagios host that has a modem installed and uses SMS Tools 3 to send messages. To send a message all I need to do is place a file in a certain directory on that server, in a simple format, and it does the rest. So, I created a script called 'notify-by-sms' in /usr/local/nagios/libexec which is as follows: TMPFILE=`/bin/mktemp notify.XXXXXX` /bin/echo -e $1 > $TMPFILE /usr/bin/scp $TMPFILE sms-server:/var/spool/sms/outgoing/ rm $TMPFILE The script is owned by the user nagios and is executable. To run it I just need to pass it a string like "To: \n\n" as the only parameter. If I run it from the command line while logged in as nagios it works fine. I have the following in commands.cfg which I adapted from notify-service-by-email and notify-host-by-email: # 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition define command{ command_name notify-host-by-sms command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-sms "To: $CONTACTPAGER$\n\n***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" } # 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition define command{ command_name notify-service-by-sms command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-sms "To: $CONTACTPAGER$\n\n***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" } I see the following in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log, as an example (I have replaced some things with <...>): [1196327641] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: ;;SyncServer;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-sms;CRITICA L - Error Fetching http:///sync/ds [503] Service Temporarily Unavailable however the sms is not received. It does not even appear in the log on the SMS server which indicates the script isn't running or isn't able to scp the file to that server. I am using public key authentication to negate the need for a SSH password to be entered. Any ideas what the problem could be, when it runs manually from the command line but not through the nagios daemon?

Ah I overlooked it was being copied to a remote server. As for running as the user nagios, how did you achieve that - with su or logging in directly? I found that su doesn't work as expected. Anyhow, as you say the outgoing dir is world-writeable on the remote server, then it should work AFAIK - though why don't you move the notify-by-sms script to the remote server and have a sommand on the nagios server such as: define command { command_name notify-host-by-sms command_line /usr/bin/ssh root at remotemachine "/some/path/notify-by-sms $CONTACTPAGER$ \"$TIME$ $HOSTALIAS$ $HOSTSTATE$ $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTOUTPUT$\"" } In my mind it's cleaner than the scp method, though whether or not it'll work or not I'm not sure!

Hi there, I?m trying to use NRPE to monitor remote Windows XP machines for the first time. Nagios version 2.8. I have installed check_nrpe on the Nagios server. Windows XP SP2 is the remote host. I installed NRPE_NT Version: 0.7f/2.0 on the XP machine. I edited the nrpe.cfg with the basic info including the following command definition: command[check_cmd]=c:\nrpe\test.cmd Test.cmd is on the XP machine in the following location: c:\nrpe\test.cmd. Here are the contents: @echo off echo hallo from cmd exit 1 I do a basic test from the Nagios server like this and it works: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10 NRPE_NT v0.7f/2.0 Next, I try executing the remote cmd file, and this is where I get the error: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10 -c check_cmd NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting... There?s nothing in the Windows event log. Nothing interesting in the nagios.log. Am I missing something totally simple? Thanks so much?
