You have to define all of your checks manually and give threshholds that you have arbitrarily set. Perhaps if you gave us a bit more information as to what exactly you're trying to accomplish, one of us might be able to help give you a better answer. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I also need to measure the filesystems that will move between hosts if the cluster fails over. For each cluster member I have setup a service to monitor the desired filesystem that moves hosts, so nagios shows the filesystem is OK on the active host and a critical alert on the passive host. I want to use check_cluster to monitor alerts if filesystem is not visible on either host. I have setup the servicecluster.cfg file with the 2 hosts and the service descriptions on each. I have defined the command as follows :- # 'check_service_cluster' command definition define command{ command_name check_service_cluster command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_cluster --service /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat $ARG1$ $ARG2$ < $ARG3$ } I have also defined the service against the nagios server as :- define service { host_name aixtest1 service_description hcn cluster status check_command check_service_cluster!1!2!/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicecluster.cfg use generic-service max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 active_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24x7 notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,c,r notifications_enabled 1 contact_groups admins } With this setup, nagios gives the error :- Could not parse arguments Has anybody done this sort of thing before and have any ideas why it is not working.

Everything appears to be monitored fine, except that once in a while check_nt (The Nc-Net version) returns: No data was received from host! This repeats for some time, and eventually fires a Nagios notification. Checking the Windows eventlog I see the following events before the time that the host produces the alert: Timer Elapsed:2878 CCID:2878 For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. The number for CCID & "Timer Elapsed" increases with each event in the event log. Any idea what may cause this? The system is an Active Directory Domain Controller.

Here is an example: The service checks SC1 and SC2 are running against the monitored host H1. User U1 must be able to monitor and control (e. g. enable/disable notifications etc.) H1 as well as SC1 and SC2 through the Nagios web interface while U2 must monitor and control only H1 and SC1. Is this possible? This seems to be an easy one, but I just don't make any progress configuring it... This is what I experience: - If H1 is assigned a contact group and U2 is part of this contact group then U2 sees both SC1 *and* SC2 even if SC2 is not assigned this contact group in the service definition. Is it possible to configure what I have outlined in the above example with Nagios 2.9? If not, might it be done using Nagios 3.0? Actually I assume I am making a configuration fault...

The ability to limit what services a user sees is included in a patch I wrote last year to give the Nagios web interface more granular permissions. The patch is available at http://www.fragit.net/nagios.html There is a limitation to the patch where a user can execute a command on the host that includes 'all services on this host' even if he/she can't see the other services. I hope to fix this soon. Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

My problem is that I unmounted the filesystem /hcndata which has a device name of /dev/fslv01. When this happens I would expect nagios to report that /hcndata filesystem was unavailable. Instead the service reports filesystem OK, but it is giving me the statistics from the / filesystem as checked by the first command, ie check_root.

My problem is that I unmounted the filesystem /hcndata which has a device name of /dev/fslv01. When this happens I would expect nagios to report that /hcndata filesystem was unavailable. Instead the service reports filesystem OK, but it is giving me the statistics from the / filesystem as checked by the first command, ie check_root. Has anybody else seen this and if so how do I resolve the issue ?

No. Running nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg will check for errors, but it mostly just checks syntax.

Is the script working correctly when run from the command line? (Check the return code in $?) You can try changing your check command to include the full path to Perl. i.e. from: check_command $USER1$/check_oracle_instance.pl ARGS... to: check_command /usr/bin/perl USER1$/check_oracle_instance.pl ARGS... Also if all you need is to check if your Oracle database is responding, you could try the attached script that I wrote. Since I haven't tested it for Oracle yet I'd be glad to have some reports. You will have to specify the "Oracle" driver: ./check_sql -d Oracle -H hostname etc...

Usually, when this happens, I find the issue is that the TCP port has been stolen by another application. Exchange is frequently guilty of this as it starts getting temporary port numbers from 1024 upwards and quickly takes the NSclient port 1248. Try moving nsclient to a much higher port number, or else get it to start before any other apps on the box. You can test this by using netstat to see if port tcp/1248 is in use, and if so, by what. netstat -a -p TCP -b -n This might take a little time to run though. Look for lines with :1248 in the first column. Steve ________________________________ From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Sudhir Damle I have installed NSClient 2.0.1.0 on Windows 2000 server.

Now whenever I start ' Nagios Agent' service, it gets started, application event viewer says 'NSClient is now responding to queries' but service simply stops after that.

Upon Nagios startup or upon Nagios restart, the latency is bellow 0.1second which is fine. After a couple of days, without any change, and even though the execution time and the Nagios server load remain the same the latency slowly increase. It seems that it is an exponential growth. All the checks kicks in later and later, no exception. Usually after a week the latency is up to 60seconds and after 2 week up to 5 minutes. I have currently set up a Nagios restart every monday, but I would like to find a better solution and understand why does the latency keeps increasing. We monitor over 50 hosts and have over 1400 checks every 5 minutes. The nagios server is quite big and is not really loaded.

Not. While I can (kind of) understand your bitterness about not getting any replies yet, I think Andreas has made a good point here... Nagios 3 *IS* beta, and it is supposed to be used by people who will actively help getting it fixed. If you need a stable Nagios, use the 2.something versions. While I know that it's usually a good thing to prepare migration to a new version as early as possible, a complete switch to beta software in a production environment is surely not what I recommend to my customers. If you want reliable support, using Op5 would definitely be one of your options. I guess that you could agree on a contract where any sort of malfunctioning will make Op5 very busy fixing your issues...

Instead the service reports filesystem OK, but it is giving me the statistics from the / filesystem as checked by the first command, ie check_root.

We created a Nagios service check SC1 which is responsible for scheduling service checks SC2 and SC3. Since SC2 and SC3 are configured "is_volatile 1" as suggested by Thomas they are never scheduled/executed by "themselves". SC1 basically performs two things: 1. Check the $SERVICESTATEID$ (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html) of both SC2 and SC3. SC1 exits with the most critical exit code of both SC2 and SC3 (e. g. if SC2 returns "2" and SC3 returns "0", then SC1 returns "2"). SC1 (as well as SC2 and SC3 - see below) is then re-scheduled based on its settings for normal_check_interval, retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts. 2. Re-schedule SC2 and SC3 to be executed at "now+n seconds" using the external command SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK (http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=129). "n seconds" can be a static number or the result of a dynamic calculation (e. g. "60-$SERVICELATENCY$-$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME"). SC2 and SC3 can be re-scheduled individually. This way we - can configure everything we need within Nagios configuration files (no need for external tools such as cron) using Nagios' scheduling capabilities - are pretty flexible in terms of scheduling SC2 and SC3 Hope this helps...

If you do not know how to do something this simple my advise is: 1. Use a stable version of Nagios (That would be 2.9 at this time) 2. Read the nagios manual from cover to cover at least once. Unless you do this reading there is no point in answering your too-generic question. After going over the manual you should be able to be more specific in your questions.

I resend it because the first time I was not a list member and I think it has been rejected. I'm looking for info about how to check the Windows 2003 events log and filter them from a Nagios (using Groundwork) server. I've tried some things before asking. I have searched the list archives but I only find solutions that are not apropiate for my situation. I prefer not to install Active Perl in the Windows machines thus I can't use elwatch.pl. I've tried elog.exe and eventlog.exe but I don't get any result (locally) and I have verified that there are events in the event log. I have tried the time flags for both programs. I would prefer not to install any additional software in the Windows machines apart from NRPE_NT if possible. Any idea?

Short answer: You can't. Long answer: Write a script that adds a "to-send" email file in mbox format (or some such) somewhere on the server, and have your cron run a script that sends those out whenever appropriate. The notification command script should ofcourse only queue mail for when you don't want to send it, and otherwise send it immediately. -- 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 snipped the output of the suggested command from Mr. Wheeler. checking for mysql_store_result in -lmysqlclient... no *** MySQL library could not be located... ************************** You chose to compile NDBXT with MySQL support, but I was unable to locate the MySQL library on your system. If the library is installed, use the --with-mysql-lib argument to specify the location of the MySQL library. NOTE: After you install the necessary libraries on your system: 1. Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf has an entry for the directory in which the MySQL libraries are installed. 2. Run 'ldconfig' to update the run-time linker options. 3. Run 'make devclean' in the NDBXT distribution to clean out any old references to your previous compile. 4. Rerun the configure script.

Create a timeperiod that excludes the time in which you expect the host to be down. Assign that as the check_period for the service/host. Nagios will not check the service during this downtime and will notify you as normal if it's still down at the end of the period. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

One of the features we rely on in BB is that it can summarise alerts by recipient - in effect it suppresses notifications that would be sent to a recipient if that recipient already has an unresolved alert. The most recent alert is always sent, to reduce the risk of a more minor alert masking a more serious one. Basically once an engineer is paged they are expected to get online and investigate, so they would then check the main status page and notice any other outstanding alerts. I know Nagios has the concept of service dependencies and will suppress notifications for child services, but what is the suggested method of acheiving what I've described above? Set up a "dummy" host per contact, and making everything a child of that?

Here are some sample service definitions to illistrate: # Check SSH, this logs in via SSH and echos "OK - able to login via SSH" define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name ^sol-servers service_description SSH contact_groups sol-admins check_command du_check_ssh } # Check Solaris disk suite define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name ^sol-servers service_description Disksuite contact_groups sol-admins check_command du_check_disksuite_ssh normal_check_interval 30 notification_interval 360 } I would like the Disksuite service to depend on the SSH service on the same host. I experimented with this dependency definition: define servicedependency{ use generic-servicedependency-ssh dependent_hostgroup_name ^sol-servers dependent_service_description Disksuite hostgroup_name ^sol-servers } Unfortunately, what this appears to do, is to define all combinations of service dependencies - E.G. Disksuite on host2 depends on SSH on host1, Disksuite on host1 depends on SSH on host2, and so on... How are others accomplishing this?

You said you didn't see any "SERVICE ALERT" lines in /var/log/messages, but did you also check /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log? From the configs you posted, that should be where those types of messages go. (You'll have to excuse me if you already checked that file.

The contact_groups value in a host escalation replaces the contact_groups value from the host definition. To accomplish what you want, you need to set contact_groups to be ",servicedesk". Of course, you are using a wildcard for the hostgroup_name, so you would probably need a separate escalation for each hostgroup since they may have different original contact groups. -- Rick Mohr Systems Developer Ohio Supercomputer Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Waiting for the final Nagios 3.0 release :-) Assuming that you are using Nagios 2.x, what you want to do is not possible unless you define a dependency separately for every host. That is the biggest issue keeping me from using proper service dependencies in my setup. However, Nagios 3.0 addresses that. -- Rick Mohr Systems Developer Ohio Supercomputer Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I'm running into an issue here, as I think the script wasn't intended to be used on any other host than localhost.

For example: On localhost: localhost:/usr/local/nagios/libexec # ./tsm_disk_pool.sh tsm_disk info OK | pct_util(BACKUPPOOL)=36.0;;;; pct_migr(BACKUPPOOL)=36.0;;;; pct_util(LARGEDISK)=74.7;;;; pct_migr(LARGEDISK)=74.7;;;; On our Nagios Server: nagios:/etc/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H oahu.garlic.com -c tsm_disk_pool tsm_disk info OK | Is there an alternative as to how I can run the scripts?

Even though I had notifications enabled everywhere, I was not getting alerts. While admittedly, this was my problem and not Nagios', it would have been nice to see a warning in the verification routine. Like: Warning: service xyz has no notification options enabled. That would have tipped me off right away. I checked this against a 3.0b2 version i'm running on a dev server and it seemed to exhibit the same behavior. According to the docs, I thought notification_options was a required directive? In that case, shouldn't it throw an error? here's a snippit of a config that passes verify: define service { name generic-service max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 30 retry_check_interval 15 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24x7 parallelize_check 1 freshness_threshold 0 flap_detection_enabled 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 notification_period 24x7 notifications_enabled 1 register 0 } define service { hostgroup_name zzdummy service_description zzdummy use generic-service check_command check_dummy contact_groups nagios_dev } notice in the template: no notification_options no alerts will ever be sent for this service.

Checked if the Nagios user could use printf and did a test, it wrote into the same file just fine, then figured maybe 1 of the macros used in defining the command has been renamed/removed (even though I switched back to 3.0b1), so tried with define command{ command_name process-service-perfdata command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" >> /usr/local/nagios/var/service- perfdata.out } Still nothing of course, there doesn't seem to be any debug info for performance data either, which is weird considering I may use Nagios' own internal write-to-file method instead of using the command with printf (which I did and it didn't work either). Switched retain_nonstatus_information to 0 before reloading Nagios just in case, that didn't do the trick either.

You said you didn't see any "SERVICE ALERT" lines in /var/log/messages, but did you also check /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log?

The contact_groups value in a host escalation replaces the contact_groups value from the host definition. To accomplish what you want, you need to set contact_groups to be ",servicedesk". Of course, you are using a wildcard for the hostgroup_name, so you would probably need a separate escalation for each hostgroup since they may have different original contact groups. -- Rick Mohr Systems Developer Ohio Supercomputer Center ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2007 17:32:39 -0400 From: Richard Mohr Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Ideas for service dependencies on SSH?

Waiting for the final Nagios 3.0 release :-) Assuming that you are using Nagios 2.x, what you want to do is not possible unless you define a dependency separately for every host. That is the biggest issue keeping me from using proper service dependencies in my setup.

I'm running into an issue here, as I think the script wasn't intended to be used on any other host than localhost. The reason I say this is because it appears when I run it locally compared to running it via NRPE, I get different results. For example: On localhost: localhost:/usr/local/nagios/libexec # ./tsm_disk_pool.sh tsm_disk info OK | pct_util(BACKUPPOOL)=36.0;;;; pct_migr(BACKUPPOOL)=36.0;;;; pct_util(LARGEDISK)=74.7;;;; pct_migr(LARGEDISK)=74.7;;;; On our Nagios Server: nagios:/etc/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H oahu.garlic.com -c tsm_disk_pool tsm_disk info OK | Is there an alternative as to how I can run the scripts? If not, does anyone know how I can modify these scripts to be run properly? Anyone have any experience with these scripts? Thanks in advance.

Even though I had notifications enabled everywhere, I was not getting alerts. While admittedly, this was my problem and not Nagios', it would have been nice to see a warning in the verification routine. Like: Warning: service xyz has no notification options enabled. That would have tipped me off right away. I checked this against a 3.0b2 version i'm running on a dev server and it seemed to exhibit the same behavior. According to the docs, I thought notification_options was a required directive? In that case, shouldn't it throw an error? here's a snippit of a config that passes verify: define service { name generic-service max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 30 retry_check_interval 15 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24x7 parallelize_check 1 freshness_threshold 0 flap_detection_enabled 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 notification_period 24x7 notifications_enabled 1 register 0 } define service { hostgroup_name zzdummy service_description zzdummy use generic-service check_command check_dummy contact_groups nagios_dev } notice in the template: no notification_options no alerts will ever be sent for this service.

My question is more about the configuration aspect. I have each host defined in the hosts.cfg file, with a "check-host-alive" argument to the check_command directive. Do I need to also build the commands.cfg or services.cfg file such that every host has a declaration for every command I want to run on it?

Checked if the Nagios user could use printf and did a test, it wrote into the same file just fine, then figured maybe 1 of the macros used in defining the command has been renamed/removed (even though I switched back to 3.0b1), so tried with define command{ command_name process-service-perfdata command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" >> /usr/local/nagios/var/service- perfdata.out } Still nothing of course, there doesn't seem to be any debug info for performance data either, which is weird considering I may use Nagios' own internal write-to-file method instead of using the command with printf (which I did and it didn't work either). Switched retain_nonstatus_information to 0 before reloading Nagios just in case, that didn't do the trick either. Could something non-Nagios related be preventing it from fetching/writing the data? -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of hindrek murdsalu Sent: 2. oktoober 2007. a. 17:09 To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] service_perfdata Hey, I was trying to get nagiosgrapher to work but it didn't seem to get any data from Nagios, so at the end of the day I got frustrated and checked if Nagios can output the data to a file with the default settings and to my surprise, it didn't write any data to file either, which is funny beacuse I've been able to do that before, the service-perfdata.out file still contains the old data from a month ago.

Look for a 64bit librfc or install it. Alternatively you can compile your plugin in 32bit if your system supports it and has all the required libraries. The easiest way is to compile it on a 32bit server and copy it over (compiling 32bit on a 64bit linux is doable but usually a bit complex; search google if you want to try it).

First, please stop reposting the same message more that one time. I will ignore any new messages from you if you keep doing this. Make sure the notify* commands (usially in misccommands.cfg) set the "From" addresses. The email should be sent with a "From: " header with the email address you want. If using the sendmail command you should also use the "-f" switch to set the envelope address. Email format is quite simple: you have a series of headers, a blank line then the body text. The end result if you run the command by hands without piping it to sendmail should look like this: - --- CUT HERE --- From: nagios at companyname.com To: pagercontact at example.com Subject: Alert yadda yadda ydadda Some body text, more details, host/service notes, etc yadda yadda yadda - --- CUT HERE --- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHA7QJ6dZ+Kt5BchYRAkEaAKDyDxijC39VzyY6F2GGPGTv5sIEyQCgtSHj gREnUqNJ7X2DMRV+kO3YpVw= =PfLq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, to help me along. I see what you're referring to here, "Same Host Dependencies" at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html#same_host_dependency I've pondered letting Nagios create all of the permutations of service dependencies, but this seems like a bad idea; it would create a tricky web of non-alerts. IF disk space via SSH was timeing out on host2, and (as it happened) SSH on host1 was down, we would never get a disk space alert for host 2... We would like to do away with the "plugin timed out..." alerts for checks which use check_by_ssh, in situations where a host is not allowing SSH logins (automounter is being worked on, host is in some state where SSH logins time out). In other words, to get a single "SSH timed out" instead of multiple time outs from plugins which use SSH. Any ideas for Nagios V2 on how to accomplish this? Defining individual service dependencies could be possible with some scripting, but it defeats the purpose of host groups. Even if we switch to NRPE instead of SSH, we still have the same issue. We could use an inverse model with send_nsca perhaps, but I'd have to explore that to see if it holds up. Thanks, Ivan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Ease up fellas, obviously its not an emergency for me to fix a simple little email problem, so I'm not consistently posting to find out the answer Let's say it's true, although it's hard to believe given the fact that the Date: headers change between emails and it seems to only happens on the first post and never on replies, I still *won't change my mind* so as a quick fix you can create yourself an account on your favorite webmail site (I personally like Gmail: http://www.gmail.com/) and subscribe from there. Please keep in mind that you're getting free support on these mailing lists, and as with every other mailing list out there there are rules to play by.

This is a mailing list, not a message board. If you are reading/replying from a message board, I'd suggest that you not do so and use e-mail like most of the rest of us until you can fix whatever is wrong with the message board posting. You are solely responsible for how your posts reach the list. If the way you're posting is broken, it's your responsibility to correct it. Repeat postings, intentional or not, are considered rude or annoying. You probably don't want to be associated with either when asking for free help. Our telling you that you have a problem is an act of kindness, giving you an opportunity to fix it. Our other option is to simply ignore or /dev/null any postings from you. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Even though I had notifications enabled everywhere, I was not getting alerts. While admittedly, this was my problem and not Nagios', it would have been nice to see a warning in the verification routine. Like: Warning: service xyz has no notification options enabled. That would have tipped me off right away. I checked this against a 3.0b2 version i'm running on a dev server and it seemed to exhibit the same behavior. According to the docs, I thought notification_options was a required directive? In that case, shouldn't it throw an error? here's a snippit of a config that passes verify: define service { name generic-service max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 30 retry_check_interval 15 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24x7 parallelize_check 1 freshness_threshold 0 flap_detection_enabled 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 notification_period 24x7 notifications_enabled 1 register 0 } define service { hostgroup_name zzdummy service_description zzdummy use generic-service check_command check_dummy contact_groups nagios_dev } notice in the template: no notification_options no alerts will ever be sent for this service.

Do you have events logged by Nagios? Does it show notifications? If that happens to be the case then llok at the delivery of the notifications. If one assumes you run this as the nagios user then test is as such. Become the nagios user with: su - nagios s /bin/sh Then execute the command as shown on the commandline but substitute $CONTACTEMAIL for the intended recipient. If that fails to deliver then you need to fix your MTA. Get to the logs of it to check it out.

You said you were on a RHEL4 box, do you have SELinux enabled? Have you tried running this command on your system as the nagios user manually? -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

I installed it on my Exchange server, and for whatever reason, the service is taking forever (like two hours) to stop. Since this server is in production, I can't simply reboot it. I killed the nagios service (/etc/init.d/nagios stop), thinking that the checks might have something to do with it not stopping, but that didn't see to do anything, and the service in Windows still says "stopping". I tried to kill it from the command line (net stop nc_net stop /y), but that did nothing. I looked in EventID's application log (thinking nc_net might have entered some error), but couldn't find anything NC_net related there.

You got this one really wrong. Start from /usr/bin/printf. Replace variables. DO NOT include the $ signs in your replacements. Also. When you attempted this install, did you add the nagios user and group?

"End Process Tree" from Task Manager usually shuts NC_Net down quickly. but as you experienced not in this case. The only STOPPING issue I experienced was durring development when testing new code, But I never experienced this issue in production.

There was no issue at all with my config or setup. What I did was decided to move onto release 3.0b4 from 3. As soon as I started the service after the upgrade my service and host notifications came straight through. On another note. I really do appreciate those of you who read my email and replied trying to assist. This is what mailing lists are about. I do understand that a lot of the time you get people that do not do things themselves and expect all the answers for no work. I am not one of those people. I appreciate the apology Andreas thank you On the other hand, I am confused by Arno's reply. If you read my first and second and then third post you may have not rambled on in a totally unhelpful and I think embarrassing way. On the first point. I was not bitter at not getting any replies, you get that in this situation. I was actually a little annoyed at a post that suggested that I stop wasting everyone's time if I was not prepared to try things. I ended up getting an apology for that which I was grateful. I think that this will be my last post on this list, I have found that only two replies were in good faith, the remainder were.....uncalled for. I think we should think to ourselves, if we have nothing good to say, don't reply. On that note I will take my own advice and go off to enjoy my notifications working. - Ken Lee (kenlee) ----------------------- This thread is located in the archive at this URL: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[showUid]=4896 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

If you haven't guessed, what you're trying to accomplish isn't clear. The question, as you've put it, doesn't make sense. About the only case I can think of that you might need to use NSCA and check_by_ssh together were if you were checking a third host that was only accessible from a second host, neither of which are directly accessible by your nagios server (i.e. firewalled, or other). send_nsca can be run on a remote host to send check results executed by an external program (nagios on that remote host or your own script), back to another nagios machine running NSCA. This is a passive check for nagios. Nagios doesn't 'call' or 'run' nsca or send_nsca. The Distributed Monitoring documentation, while specific to running a distributed nagios instance, talks about how this is accomplished. check_by_ssh is a plugin that is actively run by your nagios machine that will ssh into a remote host, execute a nagios plugin installed there and return the results to nagios as an active check. If you have direct access to the monitored machine and don't mind setting up key-based authentication for this purpose, this is probably the easiest way to go. Another option might be NRPE. Both accomplish the pretty much the same thing, just in very different ways. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I do not use templating yet, but I have mixed several hosts with different contact_groups in the same service definitions with only one contact_group. That is simply stupid - the more since I am hunting down the problem for a long time now .... Thanks for your help and for directing me to the solution.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, WMI should solve this problem for you. Just some notes on related to this issue, First off, make sure your using the current version of NC_NEt 4.1a and you would have access to a more optimized event log check called "eventlog_new" The original eventlog searched the logs from the wrong end, and thus takes a long time on large logs, this new version asside from using different syntex checks from the most resent event first. The Output is the same, thus it does not give what your are looking for. (but it may be more optimized than the WMI You would need to test this.) if it is a quicker test, I recomend using it and setting up event handlers or manually running check_nt using WMI to get the file name. note this assumes that you normally do not get an alert , so you would want the checking to induce the least load. If you know the names of the files you can setup seperate checks using the REGEXP of the EVENTLOG_NEw and this would serve as a workaround. If your looking for the files being modified. FILEAGE may be a good workaround. you should be able to setup an event handler that takes the EVENTID reported by EVENTLOG check and runs a WMICAT, querry the WMI (Windows Managment interface) for the Event Log Message. CLASS - CIMV2 Win32_NTLogEvent -has the events and the messeges in it. writing a querry to it may be tricky but if you need the File mane from the Message field this is the way to get it without writing new scripts, or paying for upgrades. or just run WMI checks directly and use wrapper scripts to interpret the results. please not on this, if a querry has no match there may be a NO OUTPUT error.

For example, I have a number of hosts set up named freenasxxx, where xxx is the three- letter designator for the location. I would like to be able to type freenas and get a list of all of them. Or if I named one xxx-freenas for some reason, but don't remember that, I would like to be able to do the same thing and get that one as well. The "show host" box in the default sidebar only shows the first result for a partial match, which is almost useless. I did find < http://www.nagiosexchange.org/ Misc.36.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=553 >, which almost works, but has the problem of inserting two tabs before the hostname when you choose one of the options, which makes the search return no results. You can delete the tabs, of course, but this brings up the choice list again with the first item selected, so when you hit enter you get the tabs back. It also shows each host twice for some reason (I'm using the php script version). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Wether it is sloppiness or a typo is not clear to me. But /usr/bin/sendmail is something entirely different from usr/bin/sendmail The second option will only happen to work if you happen to be in the root directory. It will fail from any other directory. Please be a 1000% more accurate. Because it will get back at you with in ways you do not seem to comprehend yet.

Message-ID: <833770.93240.qm@web45505.mail.sp1.yahoo.com> Hi, Thank you for the explanation. I read through the Distributed Monitoring Document in the following link: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html In the last section "Performing Host Checks", It mentions ochp command can be used for processing host check. Can I use check_by_ssh in the ochp command? The reason of using check_by_ssh is that my clients don't want to have an *Agent* installed in their server. If I can use check_by_ssh with ochp, my goal is accomplished.

If you haven't guessed, what you're trying to accomplish isn't clear. The question, as you've put it, doesn't make sense. About the only case I can think of that you might need to use NSCA and check_by_ssh together were if you were checking a third host that was only accessible from a second host, neither of which are directly accessible by your nagios server (i.e. firewalled, or other). send_nsca can be run on a remote host to send check results executed by an external program (nagios on that remote host or your own script), back to another nagios machine running NSCA. This is a passive check for nagios. Nagios doesn't 'call' or 'run' nsca or send_nsca. The Distributed Monitoring documentation, while specific to running a distributed nagios instance, talks about how this is accomplished. check_by_ssh is a plugin that is actively run by your nagios machine that will ssh into a remote host, execute a nagios plugin installed there and return the results to nagios as an active check. If you have direct access to the monitored machine and don't mind setting up key-based authentication for this purpose, this is probably the easiest way to go. Another option might be NRPE. Both accomplish the pretty much the same thing, just in very different ways. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Just because you followed the nagios install guide word for word doesn't mean you did it properly. If the system you're building nagios on isn't sane, then you're going to have many other issues no matter how closely you follow the nagios directions. Since you're on RHEL, why are you building nagios from scratch? Why not use the rpms which are built for RHEL and listed on the download section of the nagios page? > one small question is bin/mail a relay client ? and where is $contactemail$ > defined anywhere except commands.cfg The $contactemail$ variable is defined in your contact definition, and is set by (of all magical options) the 'email' section. > i see in the nagios.log file as mention in my eearlier posts that i see its > trying to send it out but keeps getting line code error 127 unkown email > address (which is my gmail) No. The error you referenced earlier stated that nagios didn't have permission to, or could not find /bin/mail or /usr/bin/printf.... Did you check the mail log for sendmail to see if it actually got the message but failed to send, or are you simply looking at the nagios.log? Given the vast amounts of typos and misplacings of the /, I would very much recommend that you go back over your configs and make sure you haven't typed them as accurately as you've formed your emails. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Message-ID: <20071004192828.G58687@tnetnzry.hgf.qh.rqh> Hello, I'm wondering whether anyone has used send_nsca as a primary "transport" for service checks, and has any experience and recommendations? We're looking at using send_nsca to submit passive service checks in place of check_by_ssh or NRPE for active checks and would like some feedback on the sanity for doing this. The plan is to 1. Run a script from cron, which iterates through a list of checks (plugins to run, with parameters), and runs each check. There would need to be a timeout mechanism, to reap checks which hang - does anyone have something they use for this with send_nsca (not all plugins have builtin timeouts)? 2. Each plugin is run via a wrapper script (nsca_wrapper) which runs the plugin and passes the results to send_nsca. IF send_nsca returns an error, the wrapper script logs to the local syslog. I'm starting with a wrapper script from here: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp_view%5D=980 3. Nagios' freshness checking will alert us if Nagios stops hearing from any of these passive checks. Some of the motivations for switching to this method for running checks are: * System logs are not cluttered with frequent SSH logins by Nagios * A new system service (NRPE) is not added to systems, some of which are particularly tightened and narrow in purpose * Thresholds for checks (disk space percentages, mail queue volume) are moved to the client, not defined in Nagios checks - some admins like the ability to adjust these locally I'm looking for folks doing something like this, or reasons why this might be a particularly bad idea. Perhaps Nagios triggering checks has so much sanity built in, that moving checks to the push-to-Nagios model is a bad idea?

For example, I have a number of hosts set up named freenasxxx, where xxx is the three- letter designator for the location. I would like to be able to type freenas and get a list of all of them. Or if I named one xxx-freenas for some reason, but don't remember that, I would like to be able to do the same thing and get that one as well. The "show host" box in the default sidebar only shows the first result for a partial match, which is almost useless. I did find < http://www.nagiosexchange.org/ Misc.36.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=553 >, which almost works, but has the problem of inserting two tabs before the hostname when you choose one of the options, which makes the search return no results. You can delete the tabs, of course, but this brings up the choice list again with the first item selected, so when you hit enter you get the tabs back. It also shows each host twice for some reason (I'm using the php script version). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

BY host check, do you mean the host check which Nagios does when it finds services are unavailable? We will leave the host check (the Nagios check-host-alive command) defined as ping. I believe that if the passive checks become stale, Nagios will trigger the active host check. We also will likely have at least one active service check (say, for SSH) - if that service becomes unavailable, the host check will be triggered too. > You said you want to replace check_by_ssh, why are you doing so? > Most customer don't want a specific monitoring agent installed in their > server (a remote host in Nagios' slang). Besides the reasons I gave in my initial post, we are looking at it this way: Plugins (for checks like disk space, RAID controllers, volume management, mail queues, process checks) exist locally on the hosts anyhow. Pushying check results to Nagios keeps us from having to open up new inbound connections (NRPE) or allowing key-based SSH logins from the Nagios server to our hosts. We're not so strict that this "push; agent approach" is absolutely necessary on all hosts, but we do have some hosts which we would like to keep more closed and secure. I'm looking for folks who are using, or have significantly explored, the passive service checks on this level. I can experiment and reach my own conclusions, but there are also a lot of good folks here who have done more with Nagios than I.

You do get that logic, you can specify max_check_attempts just as for active checks. You just don't get a retry_check_interval different from the normal_check_interval unless you implement it yourself. For us, that's not a problem, as we don't want a different retry_check_interval anyway (for most checks, we submit check results once a minute). But if you rely on this Nagios feature, that's a real drawback of NSCA, yes.

I can't talk about writing what essentially appears to be a mini-nagios to execute plugins on remote hosts but we're using send_nsca to submit ~4,000 checks every 5 minutes to two central nagios boxen (distributed architecture) and it's worked great for many years. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Well. Nagios 1.2 is ancient history. I think it dates before the dino's. I would sugest to scrap that version and look at a recent version. At this point that would be version 2.9 (version 3 is still experimental) What sort of integrations do you expect? What bit of OpenView are you referring to? The NodeManager? I suggest you go to the nagios site. Pick the manual and browse through it. Once you have done so you may understand what Nagios does and does not do and you can ask more specific questions.

If anyone could answer this i'd be pleased. My Nagios has some hosts configured with parents settings, so when a host is down, Nagios checks out his parent to see if it is down too. OK, I think this is working. But When the notifications comes into place, I receive notifications for parents and ALSO for his children like this: *PARENT* CRITICAL - Plugin Timed out after 3 seconds *RT1* CRITICAL - Plugin Timed out after 3 seconds *RT2* CRITICAL - Plugin Timed out after 3 seconds *RT3* CRITICAL - Plugin Timed out after 3 seconds The parents settings are like this: PARENT------RT1-------RT3 | | | | | RT2 I want to receive a notification only for the parent host. How can this be done? Is there something wrong?

So far, all plug-ins work well but recently the check_ping plugin has been acting funny and giving wrong results. This is the OS info OS - Debian Nagios Version 2.9 Problem = check_ping plugin reports alot of packet loss on our network but when we use regular ping commands, it is not true. check_ping looks like this in the command.cfg file # 'check_ping' command definition define command{ command_name check_ping command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 10 } This is an example of a service that uses check_ping define service{ use servers host_name bhslave at nkwanta service_description PING check_command check_ping!200.0,20%!600.0,60% } The problem is nagios will warn me of 28% packet loss to this host that is 3 hops away from the monitoring system and the RTA will be about 60ms. It does this randomly. I will like to know how nagios computes this info and how it determines this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It simply calls your system ping and evaluates the rta and packet loss reported by that against your warning and critical values. I'd say the packet loss reported is coming from your system ping program unless it were happening 100% of the time implying a parsing problem. $ ./check_ping -v -v -v -H 127.0.0.1 -w 100,10% -c 200,20% CMD: /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 127.0.0.1 Output: PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

If a "it's fixed" state and notification are important enough, and desired before the next natural check, an admin could always run the passive check manually.

If a service is in a _hard_ non-OK state (so that notifications have been sent out), it'll be re-checked using the normal_check_interval anyway, so _here_ there is no difference between active and passive checks. The retry_check_interval just specifies the check interval for active checks during soft states, that is, the interval for the max_check_attempts number of checks which are done for active checks in a non-OK state before notifications are sent out. This interval cannot be specified for passive checks via Nagios, of course.

Yeah, with that example a hostgroup could be a relatively adequate solution. I'll have to consider it further for organizational sake, if nothing else. the problem though is that this is only one example of where I would want a real search, and others may not work as well with this solution. I can't count the number of times I have wanted to get the IP for a given device, but don't remember exactly what I named it (such as freenasbrw or brw-freenas) or else have some other device with a similar name that comes up first. Or, perhaps for a better example, I know I have a printer out in Nome, but I can't remember if that was the xerox F12 or M15. To work with the hostgroup solution, I would need to have that in a "Nome" hostgroup. But I would also want it in a "printers" host group for logic sake, and perhaps a "F12" or "M15" hostgroup as well, for situations when I want to see where in the network I have a given type of printer. Can I put things in multiple host groups? I'll have to look into that. And no, with about a dozen different locations around the state, and probably at least as many different types of printers around the company, I'm not quite yet to the point where I can remember them all off the top of my head :) ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service Inc. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7250 x293 ----------------------------------------------- > > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of > Israel > Brewster > Sent: 5. oktoober 2007. a. 0:00 > To: Nagios Users mailinglist > Subject: [Nagios-users] Host searching > > Is there a way to search for a host in Nagios?

There's really no difference between what you're proposing and what we're doing other than the program executing the plugin and calling send_nsca. My implication was that there aren't any inherent problems in using nsca/send_nsca. You'll have to do work to run your plugins and get their output/exit codes to send_nsca but it'll work fine from there. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

In-Reply-To: References: <20071005094402.L58687@tnetnzry.hgf.qh.rqh> Message-ID: I found it is fairly easy to upgrade form active checks to passive checks, there have been lots of good resposes already, so I am not sure if my responce is helpful. but a few notes on how I implement migrating to passive checks, If I already have the active check in nagios, I load and test the passive checks on the remote host. Since nagios can recieve both passive and active checks at the same time, there should be no downtime in setting this up. make sure the results make it to the nagios log, Once satisfied with the passive check results. then disable the particular Active checks and add the other variables to the nagios Configuration of that host. naturally there are cleaner ways of doing this, if you are using the object templates and inheritence in Nagios config files. My procedure was how I implement converting a single host from active checks to passive checks, and I usually run both check types for a while before turning off the active checks.

If you're comfortable with that you can certainly run v3. If you want something with more outside support, though, you want v2. ==ml -- Michael W.

The snmpget I can't find in any library or package search in debian or the debian.org website. I've retried the installation of Nagios through Synaptic installing nagios-text and still get the same thing, no check_snmp in the libexec directory. During the nagios-text installation I selected both the basic and standard plugins, so everything should be there. -----Original Message----- From: Vanhee Frederik [mailto:frederik.vanhee at perso.be] I'm running Nagios 2.9 on Debian etch; this is a list of the snmp related packages that are installed on the system -snmp -snmpd -libsnmp-session-perl -libsnmp-perl -libsnmp-base -libsnmp9 -libsnmp5 -libsnmp4.2 -libsnmp4.2-dev -libnet-snmp-perl I must admit that this system was upgraded from sarge to etch using 'apt-get dist-upgrade', but I already installed various Nagios servers on Debian Sarge and Etch and never had any problems of that kind. I looked up my own docs and these are my prerequisites for compiling snmp-plugins : -libnetsnmp-perl -libsnmp4.2 (or higher) -libsnmp4.2-dev (or higher) -snmpget Hope this helps, Frederik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Even using host groups and templating to define most of our services, we could still send passive results back to Nagios more frequently than Nagios triggers active checks. The (old) active check would serve as a sort of "freshness reaction" for a while. We can later change the active check to our generic "this service did not check in" notification via check_dummy.

(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service) Many such questions can be answered from the existing documentation. The only thing it will not tell is that this put extra load on your system. In case of 100's of services this may be beyond what your machine can handle.

I've started working on my own configs, and suddenly it stopped processing external commands - when you submit a command through the web interface, the browser just sits there and never returns. In the process list, I get a "cmd.cgi" process which is running until I press Cancel in the browser. I thought originally it was because the server was running low on available memory (as it had ~11MB free), but now, it's got 134MB free, and when you run Nagios, it'll verify the configs fine, then when you start it up, it creates it's relevant lock file and according to the web interface "Process Info" Nagios is running, but you look in the process list, and the PID that Nagios should have isn't there, so presumably it's crashed. I've run a completely verbose debug, and attached the log - I can't see anything useful in it though. Any ideas how I can find out more about what's going on? Output from nagios -v ...

Thx > IF you specify a fully qualified host name to the -H argument of the check_http plugin, those host headers will be sent as part of the HTTP get request. I have used this for multiple (virtual) hosts on the same IP address. For testing, you can use the -v option to check_http to see the HTML in the page body which the plugin receives during the check. For example: check_http -H host1.site.com -v check_http -H host2.site.com -v SO, use the host name of the web site as the "Address" in your nagios config, and your checks will differentiate virtual hosts.

Yes you could do: check_http -s "STATUS FOR foo IS OK" -H www.mydomain.com -u /status.php check_http -s "STATUS FOR bar IS OK" -H www.mydomain.com -u /status.php etc Using regular expressions might be slightly better. Having the page return a data structure (YAML / JSON / etc) that a plugin parses would be a bit better. Using Nagios / NPRE to solve the whole thing is probably better still. -Rob -- I'm as poor as a church mouse, that's just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse, taking all the cheese. -- Edmund Blackadder ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Don't bother trying to run check_nrpe as a specific user. It won't matter in the slightest. Try running check_xen directly as the nagios user instead.

"Debugging information can now be written to a separate debug file, which is automatically rotated when it reaches a user-defined size. This should make debugging problems much easier, as you don't need to recompiled Nagios." I've enabled the "allow Nagios to create core dumps" option (can't remember what it's called atm), and the notes for that directive do say that even with that option enabled, Nagios may not create a core dump, which it doesn't. I'll try strace/ktrace, but how do you get Nagios to run in the foreground, as soon as you start it with "-d" it goes to the background anyway?

Start it without -d, or use "strace -f", although you'll still have to send the backtrace of your resulting core-dump to the nagios-devel@ mailing list if you want any help solving the problem, unless a recent CVS snapshot does the trick for you. -- 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.

Nagios doesn't run as root and neither do most of its support programs so you're likely to see different results. As for the script, I've never programmed in python but it appears to end up submitting an external command something like -- [timestamp] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;10.207.40.203;snmp_trap_handling_critical;2 ;"12" Nagios will ignore external commands for hosts and services that it doesn't know about. It will log them though and you should see them in nagios.log. Based on your usage of this script and using http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?com mand_id=114 and http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/passivechecks.html as guides, you _must_ have the following host and service definitions. They were not included in the files you sent to me -- - A host{} definition with a host_name of '10.207.40.203' - a service{} definition with a host_name of '10.207.40.203' and service_description of 'snmp_trap_handling_critical' After creating the service for localhost named snmp_trap_handling_critical, you probably want to run it as $ python snmptraphandling.py localhost CRITICAL 12 > --------------------------------------------- > > I have attached the services.cfg and commends.cfg > > I am not understanding why Nagios always shows : > > status -> CRITICAL > > and > > Status Information -> Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be > missing. This implies that you have active checks enabled for the service and specified a check_command that references a plugin that doesn't exist in the location you've specified. Does /usr/local/nagios/libexec/passive_check_missing.sh exist? Do you have a command definition for check_dummy that points to a real plugin? Based on your sample service definition, nagios will run the passive_check_missing script every 10 minutes, regardless of whether it's received results or not. is_volatile means that it will notify you every 10 minutes when it runs passive_check_missing regardless of whether you receive passive results or not. You probably want to set normal_check_interval to 0 and let the freshness checking run it as needed (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/freshness.html - Working With Passive-Only Checks) -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

If you can determine status from the command line then nagios can do it. Your question really is, has someone created a plugin to do so. I don't see any obvious hits on http://nagiosexchange.org but you should search yourself. A quick search of google for 'nagios check file exists' shows some talk about such a test but no actual plugin, but you should search for yourself. Alternately, this should be a very simple and straightforward plugin to write and would be a great exercise in understanding nagios plugins. A very very basic, one-line plugin might look something like -- #!/bin/sh if [ -f /path/to/file ]; then echo "OK: File exists and is a regular file"; exit 0; else echo "CRITICAL: File not found or is irregular (galactic collision occurred)"; exit 2; fi http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN78 has more information on writing plugins. For the simplest of plugins you really only need to exit with one line of text and the proper return code. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, You should give a try to SEC (Simple Event Correlator) for monitoring log files on unix. It's not an active plugin but you can use this great parser in a passive fashion with Nagios. I think it's make more sense to passively check log files. First, you are alerted in real time, not on the polling intervall you set. Second, You don't poll for nothing.

You should also check that you haven't told nagios to only update the status file every 10 minutes by verifying the value of status_update_interval in nagios.cfg. If both look good, verify that the status file is actually being updated as quickly as you think it is, with the information you think it should have. If that fails, verify that your host/service is being checked as frequently as you think it is and that the plugins accurately reflect the status of the service/host when being run. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm a bit delayed in announcing this as I prepare for the Nagios conference. Key new features are: - Support for WebReboot 3.0 - Reduced network traffic - Improved configuration - Better error handling We took some time to add screenshots to the documentation now. We still need to spend some time highlighting the key areas, but you can get a feel for things at: http://dev.servprise.com/nagios/screenshots/ More info on the release: http://dev.servprise.com/weblog/articles/2007/10/08/webreboot-nagios-plugin- 0-4-released That's about it.

Hi, Found the cause of this: the pre-flight check isn't working correctly (see output below) which caused the confusion (the errors were off-screen in my terminal window, and I mistakenly trusted the "Total Warnings: 0, Total Errors: 0" bit!! I've copied in nagios-devel to report this (also confirmed the same with today's CVS build.) Note that the servicegroup "Server_Info" does *not* exist (I mistakenly removed it a few days ago), so the pre-flight check should report it as an error, but it doesn't.

It looks like for me to achieve this, I will need to create 2 escalations for every service. One for the single notification and the other for standard notifications.

Second, it doesn't make much sense as an "escalation" as the notification interval is supposed to increase when you define your escalation, you do exactly the opposite, although it probably is not the cause, you could add a bigger notification_interval to service than to service escalation.

For instance, dpkg --help or rpm --help gives a list of options, whereas man dpkg or man rpm gives more commentary and examples. However, that requires more work. If --help on the site is sufficient, we could setup a job that takes the latest code and populate the web site with it.

The tool simply uses ssh to launch perl scripts on remote machines and grab all of the output to stores it on a central location in a logfile. This output is parsed and for any pre-defined tags (WARNING/CRITICAL/ERROR). If any of these tags are noticed the message is logged using syslog. The scripts residing on remote hosts is a collection of perl functions. Each one is executed one after another. Some of these functions utilize a status file from previous run to verify if state of items changed from last time. Some of these functions can be given a special argument to set the current state as default state for next iteration of checks. Cluster are monitored from the head nodes since not all nodes are accessible from central location. Head node checks contain a special function that simply use DSH to launch checks on all nodes. After looking at nagios and its check_cluster plugins I realized I would really like to monitor each of the nodes individually since I want to be able to disable a particular check on a particular node. Also I want to be able to use status files for some of the checks. As of now I have yet to find any plugin that utilizes a status file to monitor hosts. All plugin simply use current output from commands to verify the status. I will be using active checks on the clusters therefore I will configure nrpe on all nodes. My plan of attack was to simply use head node as a gateway and all nodes and services to be defined on the head node (under nrpe). From central location I can simply execute a check_nrpe type script to verify backend nodes. I still haven't figured out how I can use status files from each iteration of checks to validate status. I'd appreciate some inputs as to what are the best options in monitoring clusters where backend nodes are hidden from the central monitoring server. Also some help with use of state files. Thanks all, TP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

It's all configured in an XML file. I have a virtual service called "clipcache 01", one called "clipcache 02", and so on. Easch service has two checks pulled from the nagios status file, using hostname and service description. If both are OK, then the virtual service is ok, otherwise it's critical. I then have a group called "Clipcaches", which looks at the number of virtual services, and is critical if none ar running, warning if 1 is running, or OK if 3 or more are running. A group called "live system" monitors the clipcaches group, amongst others, and exports it's status back up. It also looks for shceduled downtime and acknowlegments. Another group that's a member of "live system" is "midtier", which consists of checks of virtual service "Main midtier" (which monitors a certain process on one of 3 machines, must be on one, and one only, to be OK), "Search instance", which is OK if 2 instances are found on one of 4 machines, warning if 1, and critical if 0, and a few other checks. The program then displays this as a tree on a webpage, expanding branches with problems, it gives a quick comforting overview of the whole system, while nagios' "Service Problems" page gives a list of things to fix (which might not be of immediate importance to the overall health of the system, but need fixing anyway) It does it using Perl's "Nagios::StatusLog" module. No idea how well it scales, and I'm sure there's a better way of doing it. It's definatly a work in progress, and has made me think a lot more about defining system health. -- Paul Weaver Systems Development Engineer News Production Facilities, BBC News Work: 020 822 58109 Room 1244 Television Centre, Wood Lane, London, W12 7RJ > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf > Of Tarak Patel > Sent: 09 October 2007 14:32 > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios and cluster setup...few questions > > > Hi all, > > Here is a quick background of my current setup for monitoring: > > I have an in-house tool monitoring clusters.

In the meantime a message is displayed concerning the status of the nagios daemon: Error: Could not read host and service status information! This goes away in between 90 second and two minutes and everything begins to function normally and the system goes on that way until the next time I have to reload the configuration. The suggestion on this page are: 1. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. [1191938804] Caught SIGHUP, restarting... [1191938804] ndomod: Shutdown complete. [1191938804] Event broker module '/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o' deinitialized successfully. [1191938804] Nagios 2.9 starting...

Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line option before starting or restarting Nagios! Done and nagios is actually running 3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same status data storage options (i.e. text file or database). If the main program is storing status data in a text file and the CGIs are trying to read status data from a database, you'll have problems. This is where I suspect the issue might be hiding. I am using NDOUtils and did not compile nagios is any special manner. I suspect, if this is actually an error, that it is somewhere in the text files vs. DB issue. I could be insane and this just could be how long it takes nagios to HUP when using NDOUtils. No matter the issue I suspect this list is where I will find my answer.

Nagios would appear to be doing other things like reading config files, parsing associations, etc, before writing the cache file read by the cgi's. How large is the file pointed to by object_cache_file when everything is working? Does it exist during the non-working window? Do you have retention enabled? It may help if you do not. > 2.

I am using NDOUtils and Actually, this is a holdover from the days of nagios-1 when database support could be integrated directly into the nagios core if compiled that way. It is very different than the current ndomod support. The main program and the CGI's always use the same data storage options with 2.x+ (text file). In any event, your logs show your ndo module successfully connecting to the database immediately after restart. If you have lots of hosts/services (10's of thousands) or complex relationships between them, then that delay is likely normal for 2.x. If not, you really need to determine what nagios is doing during that window. I would recompile nagios with debugging enabled (./configure --enable-DEBUGALL) and run the daemon as a foreground process. If that wasn't interesting, I'd resort to strace to see what the process was doing at a system level. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I am considering writing a custom email handler that looks for the first notification and handles it appropriately.

Probably. If it's close to the documented submit_check_result, it's sending only a small bit of data and should only take a fraction of a second. I can use it to send data to two hosts in 0.011s. Maybe network problems or load on either end are causing a delay in the data transmission. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Nothing comes to mind immediately. Luckily, the lack of service dependencies in my setup doesn't generate too many false alarms, which gives me the luxury of waiting on Nagios 3.0. But if you need to have this functionality, using a script to generate the dependency definitions is probably the way to go. -- Rick Mohr Systems Developer Ohio Supercomputer Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

That seems > like a lot of configuration. I think you can get by with one escalation. Configure the service's contactgroup to include you and the other person. Then create a service escalation that kicks in on the second notification and continues indefinitely. Use the escalation to change the contactgroup to include only you, and set the notification interval to 30 minutes.

Currently, I have a CentOS 4.x running Nagios 2.9 with NagiosQL as the current frontend. I would like to pipe all of the logs to a MySQL database, which I understand to be doable if I use NDOUtils. Is this correct? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions before I undertake this? I see that NDOutils is included in Debian "nagios-mysql" package, so it looks somewhat stable, yet when I read the project notes, it says that the project is very "alpha / beta". -- "Nagios, it's what's for breakfast!" http://www.NagiosWiki.com Email me personally: mailto:Roger at NagiosWiki.com?subject=NagiosWiki http://del.icio.us/RogerRustad/nagios http://del.icio.us/rss/RogerRustad/nagios ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

My reading of the ndoutils README is that those should be on one line with the config_file as an argument to ndomod.o -- broker_module=/usr/bin/ndomod.o config_file=/etc/nagios/ndomod.cfg The only directive that nagios understands above is broker_module. That's why you're seeing the other errors when you try to force nagios to parse 'config_file' and 'instance_name' as regular nagios directives. Those are only understood by ndomod. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Testing as root isn't useful since nagios isn't running the plugin as root. Do the same test again, except as the nagios user. I'll bet you get different and more informative results. I'm going to take a very arbitrary guess and assume that I'm looking at the same plugin as you. It uses a temporary file, hard-coded as /tmp/traffic. Based on your test above, that file is almost certainly owned by root and probably isn't modifiable by the nagios user. Change ownership/permissions of the file or remove it entirely, then test again as the nagios user. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

That would work but I don't want to create an explicit service escalation for every single service I have. I got this working with a very ugly notification script. It is a 5 minute script and I suck at scripting so be gentle. But it works. In a nutshell, it checks to see if the notification is the first notification. If it is, go ahead and send the email. However, if it is NOT the first notification, and the contact email address is our ticket system email address, exit 0. Also, I use sendEmail as my sending program http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/ The command in nagios is: define command{ command_name notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/notification $SERVICENOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ smtp.server.com nagios at server.com $CONTACTEMAIL$ "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" } Finally, here is the script: #!/usr/bin/perl $servicenotificationnumber = $ARGV[0]; $server = $ARGV[1]; $from = $ARGV[2]; $to = $ARGV[3]; $subject = "$ARGV[4]"; unless ($ARGV[1]) { print "ERROR: You need to specify some arguments like this:\n\n"; print q!/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$message" | /usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/notification 1 $server $from $to "$subject"!; print "\n"; exit 1; } @message = ; if ($to =~ /support\@foobar.com/i) { if ($servicenotificationnumber == 1) { send_email(); } } else { send_email(); } sub send_email { $output = `/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$message"`; `/usr/bin/sendEmail -s $server -f $from -t $to -u "$subject" -m "@message"`; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Do you mean that, after you change a plugin that Nagios is running, ePN fails to compile the modified plugin with this (spurious) error code ? If so, I am running 2.9 and have this problem. Reluctantly I have found that the only way to deal with this is restart Nagios after a plugin mod. It is a PITA. Patches welcome.

For some reason it simply stops checking services and hosts. I have looked into this and been unable to figure out why. I have played with the check times, service reaper times, timeperiods. I even re-compiled PERL to be non-threading (not a simple task on a system that is already up and running). I am getting frustrated and was wondering if anyone out there had similar problems with it. This didn't crop up until recently but I am unable to point to any one event that could have caused the problem.

However, upon your execution, the first line of output is : "Use of uninitialized value in scalar chomp at ./check_iftraffic.pl line 185, line 1." So I think there is a problem with the plugin or the perl interpreter. Do you use the embedded perl interpreter ? I use the same plugin from NagiosExchange but don't experience any problems with it. I always disable the embedded perl interpreter in Nagios. Good luck, Frederik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm not sure where you read that you can send config options to modules from nagios' config file. AFAIK, you can't. Instead, you have to send the option on the same line as where you're loading the module (modules are initialized with one argument, AFAIR). -- 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 check_iftraffic.pl plugin gives me Total RX Bytes: 1434.86 MB, Total TX Bytes: 2213.91 MB Average Traffic: 3.66 kB/s (0.0%) in, 3.77 kB/s (0.0%) out My MTRG gives me inbound = 50 outbound = 75 Why is the plugin giving me a different value? I know the MRTG value is correct because when I work the eth0 interface with snmp, it gives me the same value as the MRTG. Thanks or your help so far.

After that, there are no further assumptions. It would appear that you have had a service change state at some point, forcing nagios to perform the failing host check. The service recovered and nagios re-ran the host check to show proper host state, which again failed. You end up with the service UP, host DOWN state. Your best option is to just change the host check_command to something that does work, at least enough for you to be reasonably confident that the host is up given your circumstances. check_tcp to a port you know to be very reliable would be sufficient. Other options might be to use check_dummy as the host check_command so that the state is always OK or even to not perform host checks at all for this host. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I didn't realize that the "person" who was only supposed to receive one contact was the same for all notifications. In that case, your custom notification script approach is definitely faster/cleaner than my suggestion of using escalations.

These are called on-demand checks and are different than active and passive checks. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html#host_checks The first option controls whether nagios periodically checks the state of a host regardless of the state of services on that host (an active check). You normally don't need that nor do you normally want to enable it. Your current setting is appropriate. The second option controls whether nagios periodically checks whether there has been a 'recent' check result submitted for this host (unrelated to any services on that host). This is almost always associated with passive host check submissions and requires check_freshness to be enabled in the host definition and for you to be submitting passive host check results. You have not indicated that you are using passive host checks and I would expect that you would be very aware of that if you were. As such, this setting has no impact/value for you. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Why is freshness needed for passive checks? It's not needed but it's a safety net in case whatever is sending the passive checks stops doing so. Nagios would happily continue to report the last check it received before the submission process died forever. Freshness checking allows nagios to recognize that it hasn't seen any recent results for that host in some configurable time and runs the hosts check_command to be pro-active. The documentation covers some scenarios about what that check_command can/should be. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I have used passive checks in conjunction with active checks, never exclusively and don't foresee ever having that situation. :) Thanks for your help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

If you can't find the mysql headers on your machine, you'll need to install them fist before building ndoutils if you want MySQL support. the output from the configure command will tell you whether it found them or not.

There should be no need to modify any header files on CentOS to get ndoutils to compile correctly. Did you install the mysql-devel package before compiling? If the correct files and libraries are not installed at build time, ndoutils will compile fine, but will not include an database support. There should be plenty of output from the configure command indicating what database support will be compiled in, if any. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It just takes the snmp counters and compares them to the values from the previous run and then divides the values through the time-period. So, the values in kB/sec are correct. I don't know about your MRTG values from 50 and 75, what are the corresponding units ?

What do you need in your front end? Nagios comes with a CGI that provides a web-based interface. Not useful for custom configurations, but it is useful to view status of hosts and services, disabling/enabling notifications, etc. Jeremy C.

FYI (and also to save me a reply to Andreas) the ePN stuff mainly happens in p1.pl. This code 1 manages a cache of compiled plugins (ie checks if the mtime of the plugin is different to the cached value and recompiles if it is) 2 transforms the plugin to a Perl subroutine in a package named (with a mangled name) like the plugins file name 3 calls the subroutine if the mtime has not changed (and the compilation is clean). What you describe should not happen, and moreover the new stuff in 3.0 has not changed (at least as far as I can see) the interface (from that in 2.x) to Perl in checks.c and utils.c. Would you send me the plugin privately so I can inspect it ? > ---- > Larry Low > Classification: UNCLASSIFIED ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I have heard of groundwork, any comment on them? Groundwork Open Source is an excellent front end for Nagios, providing a full configuration GUI. Best thing to do is: Download the Groundwork Open Source VM from http://richard.trezza.us/vmach/index.html and then check out this https://wiki.chpc.utah.edu/index.php/Groundwork_Monitor_Implementation Should be enough to get you started in evaluating. GWOS eliminates a lot of "by hand" configuration (at least for the main Nagios configuration files themselves. I still find myself writing plugins by hand, but I never need to touch the main configuration files for Nagios.

So here we go again. 1. >>"./check_nrpe -H . already no firewall is running behind those servers .tried to put '-t' option also but didn't >>work." Please paste the output off the above command when you run it against your two hosts. I take it you are running the check_nrpe command as the user nagios?

We will If you provide us with more information 4. >> (iam able to access one server and client using nrpe daemon other could not) Show us. Post your output above as host1( working) host2(non-working) The problem is probably going to be related to differences between your two remote nrpe hosts. To understand this you need to tell us what OS you are running on the boxes and also other relevant information. Things like the following 4.1 OS Version Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) 4.2 ./configure syntax used to create makefile Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) 4.3 SSL - is it installed on both boxes and is the development libs also there. something like "rpm -qa | grep ssl" on a Redhat box would show you what ssl related stuff you have installed Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) If you provide the above info it is entirely possible that whilst going through the steps to gather the info you might actually "stumble" across the cause off your problem.

We're doing a plugin overhaul atm, and implementing that "currently ignored" option is on the todo. I can't give an ETA though, as the work is as yet unplanned, so if check_fping does the trick, you might want to use that one instead. -- 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.

I'm having problems getting it to work, however. I have the database set up, the user created for it's use, and ndo2db.cfg configure how I need it. I was initially going to use a unix socket to do this, however when I went to start the daemon I got an error stating that the address was already in use. I thought "well, no big deal" and changed things to use the tcp socket type, leaving all the other config parameters alone. Yet again, it still is telling me socket is already in use when I go to fire everything up. I've read the documentation for NDOUtils enough this morning to make my eyes bleed, but I am still not able to see where I am messing up. Specs: Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Nagios 3.0b1 Plugins 1.4.8 Mysql 5 Latest stable version of NagVis (unsure of the exact number right now!)

I take it you have already goggled for "nrpe + Could not read request from client, bailing out..." and found the Nagios FAQ about this. It doset look like its your problem but I dont know as you have provided only one piece off te information i asked for.

Post your output above as host1( working) host2(non-working) The problem is probably going to be related to differences between your two remote nrpe hosts. To understand this you need to tell us what OS you are running on the boxes and also other relevant information. Things like the following 4.1 OS Version Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) 4.2 ./configure syntax used to create makefile Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) 4.3 SSL - is it installed on both boxes and is the development libs also there. something like "rpm -qa | grep ssl" on a Redhat box would show you what ssl related stuff you have installed Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) If you provide the above info it is entirely possible that whilst going through the steps to gather the info you might actually "stumble" across the cause off your problem.

As was indicated, as far as nagios is concerned, if someone can see hosts and services, they can issue commands for those. See my response to the thread 'Disabling Host Commands CGI for a user' on 9/18/2007, and the entire thread, for options and suggestions.

I guess you ignore the Warnings. Check your logs but I think you will find that you hit either the 20 packet loss or 500ms RTA and this situation is remedied within a minute. Hugo.

My goal is to have certain services alert certain individuals via email and alert those same individuals via txt message only if services/hosts are critical. My approach I think is to define contacts that use two different templates: generic (full notification options) and cell (only d,u,r and u,c,r), then call those templates in my contact definitions. My question is in the assigning of those contacts to services. If I have a generic-service template with contact admin, and a cell-service template that includes generic-service and needs to also alert admincell, can it inherit the existing contact definitions, or do I have to spell them out again : Contact_groups admincell Or Contact_groups admin,admincell ? I saw this page on inheritance http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html that stipulates you can use a + for service/host _escalations_ but does not directly call out the way inheritence works for contacts in regular service or host definitions. I hope this was clear, thanks in advance! -Matthew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Available from http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Networking.53.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view] =1099 I've done a few minutes of debugging and the first problem I see is the MTIME is not being populated. Here is my epn_leave-msgs.log. I added print LH "$filename - $mtime = ".$Cache{$filename}[MTIME]."\n"; while (my ($key,$value) = each %Cache) { foreach (@$value) { print LH "$key - $_\n"; } } right before it compares mtime and you will see below that MTIME is not populated. I also added a couple logs where MTIME is supposed to be set. print LH "$mtime "; $Cache{$filename}[MTIME] = $mtime unless $delete ; print LH $Cache{$filename}[MTIME]."\n"; You will see below that $mtime is fine but $Cache{$filename}[MTIME] is not. I changed $Cache{$filename}[MTIME] = $mtime unless $delete ; to $Cache{$filename}[MTIME] = $mtime; and the problem goes away. I tested for $delete and it is being set to 1 every time.

I'm using nagios 2.9, and trying to use a plugin that uses Net::DNS. I installed Net::DNS using gentoo package management all fine and dandy, scripts work on command line, but not through embedded perl. Mainly because ePN has an include line that misses out where the plugin is.. (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/...) Here's the (truncated) error message that seems to get output (not sure what the tailing missing bit is): **ePN failed to compile /usr/nagios/libexec/check_dns_host: "Can't locate Net/DNS.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_p" at /usr/nagi So how do I adjust the INC line that ePN tries to use? I can't find anything in docs about it and my google-foo is failing. I don't really wanna modify each plugin.. I've currently disabled ePN as I'd like the thing to work for now. Is there a general guide anywhere on how to make ePN not be so annoying and unusable? I tried to use it once before on a box that does several hundred checks but ended up turning it off as I couldn't get it to play nice, but would like to gain back some performance benefits if possible :-) Cheers, john ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm using nagios 2.9, and trying to use a plugin that uses Net::DNS. I installed Net::DNS using gentoo package management all fine and dandy, scripts work on command line, but not through embedded perl. Mainly because ePN has an include line that misses out where the plugin is.. (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/...) Here's the (truncated) error message that seems to get output (not sure what the tailing missing bit is): **ePN failed to compile /usr/nagios/libexec/check_dns_host: "Can't locate Net/DNS.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_p" at /usr/nagi So how do I adjust the INC line that ePN tries to use? I can't find anything in docs about it and my google-foo is failing. I don't really wanna modify each plugin.. I've currently disabled ePN as I'd like the thing to work for now. Is there a general guide anywhere on how to make ePN not be so annoying and unusable? I tried to use it once before on a box that does several hundred checks but ended up turning it off as I couldn't get it to play nice, but would like to gain back some performance benefits if possible :-) Cheers, john ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

We are already using a patch that displays the hosts on a google map and management wants a map of the hostgroups at location, shown on the map, for the NOC to watch. I won't venture off into my lack of support for this idea but suffice it to say I have been tasked with accomplishing that. The easiest method, so it seems to me at the moment, is to use the googlemap patch combined with patching to use hostgroups instead of hosts. I am not much a c hacker so I am at a disadvantage as to how to get this working. Any and all help would be appreciated. Best Regards, Mark L.

Once the network came back up, the higher priority checks all recovered, while the lower priority checks that are only scheduled to check a couple times a day still showed CRITICAL (and would have for hours). With my understanding of how nagios works, that makes perfect sense, but I found myself wishing there was a way to reschedule those low priority services to re-check once the network was back up. (they had already reached max_checks). On a hostgroup or servicegroup when you click on the name part that's in parentheses and you get that menu of stuff you can do to all the machines in the host/servicegroup at once (extinfo.cgi)? It would be great to be able to reschedule service checks for all the services here or somehow force a re-check of all services in the group. I know, this probably could be pretty easily scripted via external commands file, but sure would be a nice 3.0 feature! Maybe there's some other way to tackle this like with dependencies or something i'm not thinking of? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Doesn't look like it's _quite_ that simple. The syslogging is done in base/logging.c in the write_to_syslog function. The code specifies the log levels (USER and INFO), but does not specify the facility to use, relying on the default syslog facility to catch it. From man 3 syslog, an openlog call needs to be added to specify the log facility to use for subsequent syslog() calls. > Does anybody know where I can make this suggestion to nagios developers ? nagios-devel.

Both values are right, except that the plugin check_iftraffic gives you the values in kbytes/second and cacti in kbits/second. Since 1 byte = 8 bits, that's explains the problem. So, if you want both to be the same, you'll have to adept one of them.

What are you trying to learn from the kernel? I think it'd be handy to have a monitor that would alert if a process started doing more than a certain amount of block i/o operations. Or perhaps a monitor that alerted on disk i/o bandwidth utilization (iostat -x %util) could use SystemTap to show you which processes would be likely culprits.

If Perl can find the path to the plugin, and Perl has not been changed since ePN was built, they should have the same view of INC. The standard plugins put utils.pm in a non standard Perl path, so most of my plugins have an added 'use libs q; ' #RHEL3 >From the OP point of view, if you have upgraded Perl since building ePN, recompile ePN/Nagios so it can get the version (5.8.8) dependent paths.

We will If you provide us with more information 4. >> (iam able to access one server and client using nrpe daemon other could not) Show us. Post your output above as host1( working) host2(non-working) The problem is probably going to be related to differences between your two remote nrpe hosts. To understand this you need to tell us what OS you are running on the boxes and also other relevant information. Things like the following 4.1 OS Version Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) 4.2 ./configure syntax used to create makefile Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) 4.3 SSL - is it installed on both boxes and is the development libs also there. something like "rpm -qa | grep ssl" on a Redhat box would show you what ssl related stuff you have installed Host1 (working Host2 (non-working) If you provide the above info it is entirely possible that whilst going through the steps to gather the info you might actually "stumble" across the cause off your problem.

We are already using a patch that displays the hosts on a google map and management wants a map of the hostgroups at location, shown on the map, for the NOC to watch. I won't venture off into my lack of support for this idea but suffice it to say I have been tasked with accomplishing that. The easiest method, so it seems to me at the moment, is to use the googlemap patch combined with patching to use hostgroups instead of hosts. I am not much a c hacker so I am at a disadvantage as to how to get this working. Any and all help would be appreciated. Mark, I recently spent a lot of time trying to dissuade management about maps and the futility of them, I've implemented one here for our NOC (under duress). The Tactical Overview / Current Problems pages are far more interesting and useful for NOC engineers. I'm sure our marketing department could have put some nice pretty pictures in the NOC and it would have had the same effect (something for potential customers to gasp in awe at). I notice that there has been very little work with regard to the statusmap.cgi in Nagios (few changes there since version 1) and after searching away on google for quite a while for customisations I'm resorting to argue the case that the current map we have is as good as it is going to get, and I'd rather spend my time improving the services and dependencies so that the NOC get more intelligent alerting. The return on investment doing that is far higher than any pretty pictures. That said, if anyone does invest time on the statusmap code, implement multiple maps, implement a slide show feature, implement the hostgroups feature you ask for, etc... and submit the code to the main Nagios codebase, then I would probably upgrade in a flash. Best Regards, Giles PS - Quoting from the OpenNMS FAQ (Does OpenNMS have a map?) and I think the same philosophy can be found within the minds of those who develop Nagios: The short answer is that we don't have one. If you want the explanation, read on. OpenNMS was developed by seasoned network management consultants. One of the more popular commercial NMS programs is Hewlett-Packard's Network Node Manager, which generates a network map that can be customized. Most of the OpenNMS creators had spend literally months of their lives customizing maps like those provided by NNM. The problem is that, while pretty, automated maps have limited usefulness. It can be argued that even customized maps rarely return the investment made in creating them. Even with NNM, most experienced network managers rely more on the event list than the map. So, rather than spending a huge amount of development effort on a map, OpenNMS chose a different route. On the main WebUI page there is a "real time console" (RTC) that reflects the status of categories of devices. Out of the box these categories reflect groups of devices like database servers, web servers, etc. However, anything in the database can be used to create a custom category list, and grouping devices by location, building, vendor, IP range, etc., is very common. The categories list follows a basic tenet of OpenNMS: once configured it should be simple to use and as automated as possible. As new devices are added, the categories automatically update. There is no need for manual customization, such as would be required with a useful map. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

That could be a fairly good reason why there's no connection. Second thing you can do is to use the plugin 'check_tcp' to make sure there is any reaction on port 5668 of your destination machine.

Here are some docs for Nagios 3 for "oncall rotations": http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/oncallrotation.html (I don't take advantage of it myself. I use 24x7 and simply turn off my pager when it is not my rotation. And then I review the old pages when I turn it back on.) Jeremy C.

I'm trying to install Nagios from the source code, since installing from the pre-packaged Debian files seems to use completely different directories than the documentation and doesn't install the sample configuration files. Going through the documentation, it says for the Nagios check_snmp plugin to properly compile and install, the net-snmp and net-snmp-utils packages must be installed. These packages don't exist for Debian Etch. Does anyone know the corresponding packages to use and how to tell Nagios during configuration where these packages are located? Or as an alternative, does anyone know the standard directories the Debian Etch Nagios-Text and Nagios-Plugin packages install to by default and how to get the sample configs installed like it does with the Nagios source code? I haven't found any good How-to for the configuration and use of the Nagios Plugins for Debian Etch, only installation of the packages.

I have read about a couple different options for getting results back quickly. One being a bulk system of transfer, a file containing the results is sent via a send_nsca bulk transfer executed via cron.

Does anybody know of any other options? Also, is there any guides to setting up either of these options, most of what I have read is email threads.. Thanks.

I'm not sure why a parent/child relationship doesn't work for you here. Just make each of your DomUs dependent on Dom0. It might make the automatically generated status map look a little funny, but that's generally useless beyond a few hundred hosts anyway.

Well, it may work in this trigger downtime situation, but the availibilty checks will not always work because the Dom0 is not always the network parent of the DomUs. And using this kind of ?hack? I will be unable to use the switches as network parent. >Just make each of your DomUs dependent on Dom0. It might make the >automatically generated status map look a little funny, but that's generally True ;-). Do you know if the next Nagios release will distinguish between network parent and VM parent?

Now what I want to find out, the above mentioned host always seems to pitch up on my "service status" page where nagios displays it as getting a responce time of 524 milliseconds(Hence the warning), but I sit on the nagios machine at the console and have been running a constant ping to the mentioned router, and the highest responce time I get is 78 milliseconds....... These responces always change on the nagios interface and show the responce time of over 500 milliseconds, but during the constant running manual ping it works 100% and as I said never goes above 78 milliseconds... Is there anything I can check in terms of the nagios config, or maybe would it be reccomended to change the thresh hold that is defined for the monitoring of the router ? The thing here is the tcp check made to the router on port 23 works 100% and never displays in the service errors page, only the check_ping warning... :-\ -- Marc Hultquist Destiny Electronic Commerce (Pty) Ltd Network Administrator "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away !" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

As you stated in your mail you used 2.9 and it was great. Id suggest still using it until Nagios 3 is stable. There is quite a lot of chatter on the mailing list about nagios 3 and problems with notifications etc. The last thing you want to do is setup Nagios in a new company and for it to go wrong. My Plan would be about 3 steps 1. Install Nagios 2.9 stable release and get it Monitoring and alerting(leave to run for 3-6 months) 2. Install Nagios 3.0 on test bed system and get it monitoring your systems. Turn off alerting to anyone important but have it mail you with alerts. This will ensure you have duplicate alerts from both systems and they should be almost in sync. 3. Migrate your config from Nagios 2.x to Nagios 3 over a period off time, switching on Alerting as you go. -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Pablo Escobar Sent: 16 October 2007 09:39 To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] should I use nagios 2.9 or 3.0b5??

Therefore it defaults to use SSL when you use the check_nrpe command. My issue came when I am using the nrpe on an AIX machine. On this client the nrpe was compiled with SSL disable, therefore the check_nrpe command could not connect. To overcome this problem I defined a command as follows :- # 'check_nrpe_no_ssl' command definition define command{ command_name check_nrpe_no_ssl command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -n -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ } Therefore when I need to define a service to my AIX client I use the check_nrpe_no_ssl command.

Nagios doesn't know about or really care about authenticated SMTP since it doesn't handle the mail delivery. Your mail notification commands probably use /bin/mail(x) to send the e-mail which in turn only passes it to the SMTP server running on the nagios machine. You need to configure that SMTP server (sendmail, postfix, qmail, whatever it is) to smarthost to your ASMTP server _and_ act as an ASMTP client. Your mail server documentation is going to be your best resource but these links might get you going in the right direction -- Sendmail -- http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/sm-812.html#812AUTH Postfix -- http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/smtp_auth_mails ervers.html -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Initially I struggled to make it work because I was getting blank output for various checks using the check_snmp_printer plugin. I found that the snmp agent on the printer was not supporting the OIDs used in the plugin script. So, I upgraded the firmware of the printer and found that many of the OIDs (though not all of them) used in the plugin are now supported by the printer. I am able to get the status of the black and the color toners using the "check_snmp_printer CONSUM BLACK" (and similar) commands. But I observe that the output of these toner check commands is not consistent with the toner status I get by using the "web-based device status" of the printer. For eg. the web access of the printer web page gives the toner status as follows: Black: 83%, Cyan: 42%, Yellow: 42%, Magenta: 42%. As against this, the check_snmp_printer gives the status as follows: Black: 84%, Cyan: 82%, Magenta: 87%, Yellow: 85%. Would like to know whether anybody here has had a similar observation and the workaround if any for this. Thanks in advance.

Available from http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Networking.53.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view] =1099 I've done a few minutes of debugging and the first problem I see is the MTIME is not being populated. Here is my epn_leave-msgs.log. I added print LH "$filename - $mtime = ".$Cache{$filename}[MTIME]."\n"; while (my ($key,$value) = each %Cache) { foreach (@$value) { print LH "$key - $_\n"; } } right before it compares mtime and you will see below that MTIME is not populated. I also added a couple logs where MTIME is supposed to be set. print LH "$mtime "; $Cache{$filename}[MTIME] = $mtime unless $delete ; print LH $Cache{$filename}[MTIME]."\n"; You will see below that $mtime is fine but $Cache{$filename}[MTIME] is not. I changed $Cache{$filename}[MTIME] = $mtime unless $delete ; to $Cache{$filename}[MTIME] = $mtime; and the problem goes away. I tested for $delete and it is being set to 1 every time.

Hence the '0b5' after the dot in the version number. It's the fifth beta version of Nagios 3.

It's beta.

IIRC. checks.c also sets the value for $delete that is passed to eval_file (see http://nagios.cvs.sourceforge.net/nagios/nagios/base/checks.c?view=marku p use the source). The value that becomes $delete is set in checks.c as the value of DO_CLEAN. I think this value is set by configure. You may want to remove the config.cache (or whatever it is) and reconfigure with the appropriate settings. (On an unrelated matter, thank you for this thread since I think a simple mod to p1.pl will deal with the recompilation problem of putting symbols in the same stash and thereby raising the subroutine already exists exception).

The Nagios configuration is, however, giving me some grief; this is my first use of passive checks however, so maybe I'm being plain stupid. I found an earlier thread which assisted me with some errors, but the pre-flight-check now returns: Nagios 2.9 Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 04-10-2007 License: GPL Reading configuration data...

It seems to run fine all day, but overnight the checkresults directory fills up with files and I get large numbers of orphaned check results messages in the log.

Is there anyway I can raise the field length so the alias is entirely stored at the database? Is this corrected in new versions?

It's the best way to get changes done the way you want them. Otherwise Ethan might decide to make the field 65 chars, which would indeed be bigger, but still not quite big enough.

I would expect that those who coded it could point me in the right direction. I have thus far tried changing how I get my data into perfparse and changing my timeperiods so that there are no overlapping times (i.e. from 00:00 - 24:00 to 00:00-23:59) since it always happens overnight and the problem crops up after midnight I have to wait until then to get more data. Other than that I am using FreeBSD 6.2 with the latest plugins (1.4.10), nrpe, nsca and perfparse (the performance data is send to files via a command definition that calls a perl script that writes it to a file. Perparse picks it up via a cron job that runs every 5 minutes). The purpose of the nagios-users list is to obtain help when one gets stuck not to have someone tell them how they should be able to do their own support. I have set up a complex piece of software and have been running it since version 3.0b1. To my knowledge, there are only so many sources of information that I could provide. Nagios doesn't stop, doesn't run a particular command. It simply starts orphaning check results after midnight every day. Turning on debugging does not give any indication as to why. If I truss (strace) the process it immediately spawns a new copy of itself that consumes all CPU time on whatever CPU it is running on without returning anything. -----Original Message----- From: Hugo van der Kooij [mailto:hvdkooij at vanderkooij.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 1:44 PM To: Fulton, David Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Another Nagios Problem. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Fulton, David wrote: > I was simply wondering if anyone else had experienced the same problem. > There is nothing in the debug logs to send.

You are asking for help on a test version. If you use that version you should be able to do your own support unless you can provide concrete information a coder can use to troubleshoot. No one knows your setup on the mailinglist. So unless you are explicit and elaborate there is little to go on. Anyway I suggest you turn to the developers mailingist for experimental versions. There are the people who will do the coding. Hugo. - -- hvdkooij at vanderkooij.org http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ PGP/GPG? Use: http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/0x58F19981.asc Bored?

Now here's the thing, I have now changed to use check_fping in terms of monitoring, for example one of my services being hosted is as follows: define service{ use generic-service ; host_name cksdialup; service_description PING ; check_command check_fping!200.0,20%!600.0,60% ; normal_check_interval 5; retry_check_interval 1; } Now thats all good and well, but if I then go check on my dashboard for service problems, I still see it being checked with ping and not fping, would or could this be my browser still not refreshing the cookies or is it possible that nagios for some or other reason is still monitoring the services with check_ping ? The thing is in the templates file I have changed the following: define command{ command_name check_ping command_line $USER1$/check_fping $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -n 5 } So if anyone would care to tell me what else I should be looking at to check ?

If so, make sure you don't have two versions of Nagios running at the same time. If that's not the issue, then go check the loaded config from the CGI's, by following the "View config" link in your menu.

Nagios 2.9 ? I'm looking at the document to handle SNMP traps which I found here: ? http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9559/sam0503g/ ? I've got all the SNMP parts configured and I think I won't have problems doing the external command part. ? The Nagios configuration is, however, giving me some grief; this is my first use of passive checks however, so maybe I'm being plain stupid. I found an earlier thread which assisted me with some errors, but the pre-flight-check now returns: ?

I would like my offsite Nagios server to send a request to each Windows server to ping across the tunnel and then report back to me (via the Nagios server) the results of that ping. I've been reading the NC_net documentation on passive checks and see that I have to modify startup.cfg and passive.cfg, but am a little fuzzy on how to do so. If I understand this correctly, once I modify these two text files on my Windows server appropriately and then send the right command (check_nc_net using the -S switch) via my Nagios server, then I'm all set? I'm a little confused, as I don't see an equivalent to *nix's nrpe.cfg file with (something like) command[check_users]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10 I was hoping to find something ping-related so that I could call that command from my Nagios server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

We use this here, of course - it was written originally for Nagios 1.x (which we use) but is now tweaked to work with 2.x as well. However, once we have finished the upgrade to 2.x, we're looking at moving to ndoutils as well, as this is the recommended way of doing things in Nagios 2 and later. One benefit of this loader, though, is that it loads the current config into the database for use by programs, and also generates a table in the database with status time summary information, rather than events. Once we get ndoutils running, we'll need to generate something similar using a separate process.

So, I put these binaries on my Windows server https://support.op5.se/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=42&Itemid=33 and put them in my NC_net script folder ("C:\Program Files\Montitech\NC_Net\script"). On the Windows server, I can run these scripts ok from the cmd line e.g. C:\Program Files\Montitech\NC_Net\script>check_ping.exe -H 10.200.200.1 -w 100,2 0% -c 500,60% Ping OK - Packet Loss = 0%, RTA = 0ms|'Packet Loss'=0%;100;500;; 'RTA'=0ms;20%;6 0%;; In my C:\Program Files\Montitech\NC_Net\command\commands.cfg, I have the following entry so that I can execute this command remotely. ******** commands.cfg ********************* command[check_nt_ping_test]="C:\Program Files\Montitech\NC_Net\script\check_ping.exe -H 10.200.200.1 -w 100,20% -c 500,60%" *********************************************** However, on my Nagios server, I'm having problems invoking the check necessary to tell the Windows server to run this command. In /etc/nagios/commands.cfg, I have the right nrpe check properly defined (like I always do). define command{ command_name check_nrpe command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ } ...but I cannot call that check. Even when I run something the following from the command line, I have problems: [root at vmappliance plugins]# ./check_nrpe -H (ip address) -c check_nt_ping_test I also tried the check_nt plugin, that that doesn't seem to recognize the parameters.

What we do here (only for links monitoring), is: - Nagios, sends an e-mail to the help desk system (CA Service Desk) and disable the host/service notification, so futher problems about the SAME host/service won't go to the help desk system again. - An AS is open at the system, and categorized correctly according to the e-mail (CA Service desk provide a field for this). - After the problem is solved, the help desk system sends a SNMP TRAP to nagios, and nagios re-enable notifications for the host/service.

The longer he waits, and as more of us move to Nagios-3, the more difficult it will be for him to get specific answers to questions about the upgrade. My suggestion would be to install nagios-2 in a different directory, copy over the log files/archives and modified configs and see what's broken. Fix, repeat.

I looked through this doc http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html and couldn't quite understand where exactly these variables "lived".

You could write a custom plugin to check for differences in runnin and startup configs and then do something with the running config; You could pay for CiscoWorks and sacrifice small furry animals until it runs; or you could try RANCID in conjunction with viewcvs (PHP application to publish the CVS).

I have "local routers" and remote routers. The check_ping command for local routers is: check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60% This generated a warning for the remote ones so I had to create a new hostgroup and run check_ping with higher RTT time: check_ping!4000.0,20%!4000.0,60% I would like to know the best practices you follow with routers in terms of commands you use (check_ping/check_fping/...others). Also, what is the alternative if I prefer to have 1 hostgroup for all routers (remote and local) without receiving an ongoing warning about remote routers. PS: remote routers are in another country I am using nagios 2.9 on Linux ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Answers - Got a question?

If it finds the mysql libraries and header file it will make the check_mysql plugin. This could come in handy later. You never know when you will need it and it will be there just in case. If it doesn't find it, then it will not build it and no harm done?

I suggest you don't do it again. It tends to upset the kind of people you're likely to want help from. As for your question: No, and there are no plans to port it to windows. Since windows has really crappy fork() support one would have to rewrite the fundamentals of Nagios to make it work there.

Resolving your problem on the first try is going to be rather difficult. It would be good to have more information. What check do you have to check the host is alive (in some sample configurations this is called check-host-alive)? And what check are you doing for check-ping? In the sample configuration (it is only a sample configuration, and many have completely home-grown ones), check-host-alive only sends a single packet, whereas check-ping sends more packets. If your first packet is always dropped then check-host-alive will always fail and check-ping will still succeed enough of the other packets work. It could be a network problem, but it could be any manner of other things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

What started off as a quick hack seems to be more useful than I previously thought, otherwise I wouldn't have sat on this for so many months... The link to the plugin page on Nagios Exchange is http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=1132 This plugin lists all logged in users in the format ./show_users USERS OK: hari(8) userX(3) userY(5) where the (Number) after each username is the number of sessions the user has (this is the total number of ssh sessions and xterms etc - basically the number shells you have open plus any X sessions) Switches can disable the (Number) after each user as well as alert on certain users being logged in (think direct root login without auditing) or users not on a whitelist (very useful feature I just thought of if you know what users should be logged into a server this forms a nice tripwire for logins). I have added enough switches to hopefully satisfy most people but am also will to take feature requests and support issues at this address, as usual. Feedback and suggestions welcome.

Notifications are being sent CONSTANTLY. By this I mean, I have over 400 in my inbox from the past 15 minutes of hosts that have gone done and recovered, gone down and recovered. The web interface through all of this has showed the hosts as up. however, when I go to shut off notifications until I can find the source of the problem, I get the wonderful "hey dork I can't read the nagios.cmd file. How about making sure it is actually running." error (In Lamens terms since I can't remember the exact text of the error.) Now, being somewhat experienced with Nagios and from reading thousands of posts that I get from the list over the months, I checked to see if nagios truly was running. Low and behold it was, like 4 times. Interesting, as this morning everything was peachy. So I killed off the stray processes, and brought everything back up and did a ps -ef | grep nagios and as expected everything was fine and dandy again. Unfortunately the problem still exists. Right now I have the nagios box turned completely off, cause I can't get the notifications to shutoff in it's current state of disarray.

The normal approach is to stop nagios through the normal means. Then shoot any existing instances of nagios. And finally start Nagios again through the normal means. Otherwise you still have incorrect family relations within the processes. Hugo. - -- hvdkooij at vanderkooij.org http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ PGP/GPG?

I have read the docs, as well as object tricks and am looking for a little guidance on how best to proceed. I have a webserver farm that we monitor our application (a call to a servlet), our app engine (tomcat - check_proc for java, and check_http on port 8080) and apache (check_http). So our application check is dependent on the other 3. Similairly the tomcat check is dependent on the java process check. All services run on localhost for each system, so there is no host dependency check (host A runs apache/tomcat, but is not dependent in any way on apache/tomcat running on host B). Can I accomplish this with the servicegroup/dependent_servicegroup directives outlined here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html#same_host_depen dency - and just leave all host definitions out of it? Or will that create an arbitrary relationship between all services in the servicegroup and all hosts they are runnign on? Thanks!

At this site there are no Unix Sys admin skills (apart from me) and everyone likes Windows. Having the configs on Win means management is happy they are adequately backed up. Does cfg_dir=/Some/Path actually work ? and if so, would anyone be so kind as to paste a few lines containing these directives from their nagios.cfg ?

Here we go... I have Nagios 3.0b5 installed running on Open source SuSe. I am trying to use a PERL plug-in to get interface statistics off a Cisco switch that has a Gigabit Interface (Not uncommon these days). The command is as follows; ./check_snmp_int.pl -H 192.168.xxx.xxx -C xxxxxx -n GigabitEthernet1/0/24 -k -w 100,50 -c 0,0 -f and I get the output below. GigabitEthernet1/0/24:UP No usable data on file (9 rows) :(1 UP): UNKNOWN | 'GigabitEthernet1/0/24_in_octet'=2876223019c 'GigabitEthernet1/0/24_out_octet'=754610251c I have tried to use the standard SNMP plugins and also the Cisco developed plugins, but they don't support this type of interface. I can use a command to look at the OID's but am concerned if the configuration is blown away, that the indexes will change. Hope this helps you to help me.

If you look at one of these files you will see something like this: 1193296121:2737857960:2609034930. First one is a time stamp, the others are the counters for incoming and outgoing octets you will also find via SNMP on your Cisco switch. The problem is that the incoming or outgoing octets are counters and don't contain the actual number of incoming octets for the last 5 mins or so. If you run the plug-in it compares the returned values with the ones in the temp-file and then calculates the incoming oder outgoing traffic. When I used the plug-in first the state was UNKNOWN for the first 15 minutes and then changed to an OK-state because the plug-in needs this time to gather enough values to calculate the traffic.

I think the current cfg_dir handling code is conditional to having (struct dirent *)->d_type on your system, so perhaps that's the issue. It should work equally well with just plain old stat() instead, and would be much more portable. Performance issues can probably be ignored, since most users don't have >50k config files. -- 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.

Mike Mike Hawley -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kraus [mailto:daniel.kraus at rz.uni-augsburg.de] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 8:30 PM To: Mike Hawley Cc: Nagios Users Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Manage Cisco Interfaces Hi Mike, the plug-in check_snmp_int.pl will create a file in /tmp "tmp_Nagios_int.ip.interface" for each interface you check. If you look at one of these files you will see something like this: 1193296121:2737857960:2609034930. First one is a time stamp, the others are the counters for incoming and outgoing octets you will also find via SNMP on your Cisco switch. The problem is that the incoming or outgoing octets are counters and don't contain the actual number of incoming octets for the last 5 mins or so. If you run the plug-in it compares the returned values with the ones in the temp-file and then calculates the incoming oder outgoing traffic. When I used the plug-in first the state was UNKNOWN for the first 15 minutes and then changed to an OK-state because the plug-in needs this time to gather enough values to calculate the traffic. Sorry for my english. Hope this will help you. Best Regards Daniel No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hi Stanley! I'd suggest reversing your sharing logic here and export the nagios config files via samba instead of having them live on another machine. That way you could use cfg_dir and you wouldn't have a dependency on the SMB share/machine being available for nagios to work. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm with Mark Powell on this - a better question might be - why risk a critical infrastructure component's ability to function to make things a bit easier for a few? Of course, I'm implying a general statement, and you have a specific situation to address. > Does cfg_dir=/Some/Path actually work ? and if so, would anyone be so > kind as to paste a few lines containing these directives from their > nagios.cfg ? I understand "cfg_dir" to only relate to object config files, and putting cgi.cfg in cfg_dir won't work. I've just done a quick test on my FreeBSD 6 test box, and thats how I found it to work. - Set cfg_dir (to local *nix dir) - put all object config files in there - comment out specific object config lines in nagios.cfg - leave cgi.cfg in same dir as nagios.cfg nagios -v works properly, and nagios starts happily - copy cgi.cfg into cfg_dir - I get the same error you reported. - remove cgi.cfg from cfg_dir - all better again. tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

The reasons are twofold: 1. Nagios will try to recursively open the main configuration file, as you can imagine this would cause issues. 2. Nagios will open all configuration files that end in .cfg including ones that it is not supposed to, like cgi.cfg which is only intended to be read by the cgi programs that the web server runs. The workaround that I might use for this is to make a subdirectory for configuration datat and mount your smb filesystem there. It is a tradeoff though. The windows admins won't be able to modify the main nagios.cfg file. On the other hand, how often do you change those options? The big configuration file changes always happen in the object definitions. My nagios.cfg file has the following cfg_dir directives in it: cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/contacts cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/times cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/services cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/templates cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/firewalls cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/routers cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/switches cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/ironports cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/unix/freebsd cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/unix/linux cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/unix/solaris cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/windows cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/vmware cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/netapp cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hosts/virtual_services cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/hostgroups cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/servicegroups This gives me flexibility in configuration file names (as long as it ends in .cfg) and the ability to keep different types of objects separate.

Trying to move it around or rotate leaves black lines across the screen. If I close the map in IE7, open it in FireFox, it's fine. Go back into IE7 and it's working again. Not a big hassle, just wondering if anyone else has seen the same thing and found a workaround or fix. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I wrote one myself using the Net::OSCAR perl module, but I found that it was extremely unreliable. The biggest thing is that you can't simply write a script that logs into aim, sends a message, then logs out. You'll get dinged for logging in too many times if you connect more than about 8 times per hour (or something like that). Eventually what I'm going to do is write a script that runs as a daemon connected to aim all the time. I'll just have a nagios notification script plop a message file into a directory and have the daemon watch for that directory for files and just send the contents of each file in an instant message and then delete them. It's just harder to write something that stays connected all the time. I don't have any experience programming for event loops like that. - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFHIMn1NTm8fWdRgmIRAtfQAKC7H1MPlf/a996/WmWu09PeE0j1LgCg7XHj NyDnTuqXgR1l1o63jhKM1M4= =LY/m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

This set of plugins used to have a notify-by-jabber plugin for this purpose, I believe. I've never implemented it, but do remember seeing it. You'll have to install the Nagios::Plugin module available on CPAN to use their plugins. I use their check_yum and check_linux_raid plugins and they work well, so you might want to check out the notify-by-jabber script included in the tar.

Depends on what you want bugged about. I only do critical and recovery alerts for both hosts and services. I only want to know when the service goes down and comes back up. I don't really care about most unknown, warning, and flapping states, with a few exceptions. I wouldn't say there is a default for this, only want you want to get notifications about.

It only works for host states though. When using contacts with the host service states are also sent notifications for. I've tried both 3.0b3 and 3.0b5, same thing. Since host notifications are sent out the contact group itself is apparently applied, it's just the notifications for services that isn't working. I've set up tests where I can see in the notifications log that notifications are/are not sent out correctly. Working for hosts but not services: define host{ use linux-server host_name localhost alias localhost address 127.0.0.1 contact_groups test } Working for both hosts and services: define host{ use linux-server host_name localhost alias localhost address 127.0.0.1 contacts test } Best regards, Tina Danielsson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Correct, if no notification options are in the service definition, then you will not receive a notification on that service. Same applies for hosts. If you don't want a host to bother you, but you want to be able to see status of something on the interface, you just don't put in a notification_option.

Hi, Aaron. Cool, I'll make sure to go through and start doing this now to my config. I looked and saw that they have mention of this under the object configuration overview for notification_options under services, but they don't have it up above in the example. Meaning, they have listed above: notification_options [w,u,c,r,f] Then when you scroll down to the paragraph explaining they mention none for the option. I feel silly, I've been running Nagios for a long time and completely missed this. Sorry for the wrong advise before!

Works very nicely, but I have to change part of the system behavior and the plugin doesn't seem to have that option. When you check a service and the service is not installed, the plugin returns "unknown". I need to treat those unknowns as critical. In our environment, those errors mean that someone is playing games with their server. Any suggestions? Or should I use a different plugin if I want this behavior? I can get this with SNMP easily enough, but nsclient++ seems easiest. Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.

You need Windows Server, and to configure traps from the event log events do Start --> Run... --> evntwin Select Custom, and hit the Edit button to configure which events you want as traps. Rather undocumented little feature within Windows, which I think would work extremely well. ________________________________ From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of vt dude2007 Sent: 25 October 2007 21:55 To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitor : MS SQL 2000 & Event Logs ALL -- Thanks for the help !

If the check return UNKNOWN because of a missing definition or some such, the shell can change it's return code and output to CRITICAL with some custom message. It's quite easy to do in Bash, I've done this in a couple of places myself, primarily to change the check_dhcp plugin to return warning on extra dhcp servers which indicates rogue dhcp on the network... so you should be able to do this for your windows checks, test the return codes and output and adjust them to your own specification. This is probably much easier than changing the source and recompiling nsclient++ everywhere (not to mention you only need a single point of change on your Nagios monitoring server rather that across all the windows servers). -h Hari Sekhon Michael W.

Message-ID: <83b47f4c0710260244h3694cb34xb8e0abc66988ab2e@mail.gmail.com> Hi Kausal, I have found an issue ('obsessive_host_handler' is not defined anywhere!) in the nagios mailing list http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net/msg07094.html. But there is no fix mentioned in the thread. The exact fix which I have done is specified below: Create the file obsessive_host_handler with the following content: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # Based on # OBSESSIVE_SVC_HANDLER # Written by Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagils.org) # Last Modified: 07-19-2001 # # This script is intended to run as the OCSP command # on a distributed monitoring server. The script calls # submit_check_result_via_nsca to send the service check # results to the central monitoring server. # # Arguments: # $1 = host_name (Short name of host that the service is # associated with) # $2 = state_string (A string representing the status of # the given service - "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL" # or "UNKNOWN") # $3 = plugin_output (A text string that should be used # as the plugin output for the service checks) # # Location of the submit_check_result_via_nsca script SubmitCmd="/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result" # Convert the state string to the corresponding return code return_code=-1 case "$2" in UP) return_code=0 ;; DOWN) return_code=1 ;; UNREACHEBLE) return_code=2 ;; esac # Send the service check results to the central monitoring server $SubmitCmd "$1" $return_code "$3" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You need to specify the exact location of SubmitCmd. Here it is /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result. Add the command in commands configuration file according to nagios.cfg. The define part of command is specified below: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ define command{ command_name obsessive_host_handler command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/obsessive_host_handler $HOSTNAME$ $SERVICESTATEID$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' } +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Reload the nagios. This will fix the issue. Here the exact location of obsessive_host_handler is /usr/local/nagios/libexec/obsessive_host_handler. Modify it as per your requirement. -- Regards, Joseph Symon Bobcares.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But it shouldn't be that complicated to define a command like notify-by-yahoo which uses the mentioned command... Maybe you post your command configuration when it works...

I have read the docs, as well as object tricks and am looking for a little guidance on how best to proceed. I have a webserver farm that we monitor our application (a call to a servlet), our app engine (tomcat - check_proc for java, and check_http on port 8080) and apache (check_http). So our application check is dependent on the other 3. Similairly the tomcat check is dependent on the java process check. All services run on localhost for each system, so there is no host dependency check (host A runs apache/tomcat, but is not dependent in any way on apache/tomcat running on host B). Can I accomplish this with the servicegroup/dependent_servicegroup directives outlined here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html#same_host_depen dency - and just leave all host definitions out of it? Or will that create an arbitrary relationship between all services in the servicegroup and all hosts they are runnign on? Thanks!

The problem is they have "multiple" parents. Each AP is connected to the parent switch, which is simple, just a parent line in the APs host definition. If the switch goes down I don't get alerted about the 15 APs behind. The problem is these are thin APs, so they tunnel all their traffic back to a "Management Switch". If this "Management Switch" goes down then the APs reboot continually until they can re-establish their connection back to that "Management Switch". I thought about having multiple parents in the host definition, but this only suppresses warnings if both parents go down, not it only one goes down. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Garry -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Michael Jewett Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 9:25 AM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Host Dependencies Hi, I'm starting to monitor my Access Points with Nagios. The problem is they have "multiple" parents. Each AP is connected to the parent switch, which is simple, just a parent line in the APs host definition. If the switch goes down I don't get alerted about the 15 APs behind. The problem is these are thin APs, so they tunnel all their traffic back to a "Management Switch". If this "Management Switch" goes down then the APs reboot continually until they can re-establish their connection back to that "Management Switch". I thought about having multiple parents in the host definition, but this only suppresses warnings if both parents go down, not it only one goes down. Any suggestions?

Nagios only executes the plugin the same way that you would from the command line, so I'm not sure about a difference of environment variables. If I recall correctly, the environment variables should be reset by Nagios, so perhaps if you are relying on them then that is your problem, but this seems less likely to me. You could try doing a "su - nagiosuser" and then removing all environment variables and then re-running the plugin exactly as it appears in your definitions taking your macros into account. Remember that $HOSTADDRESS$ is not hostname but ip address specified in your hosts configuration file. Then the test should be closer to what you are actually getting Nagios to do. -h Hari Sekhon zack kenton wrote: > Hi Hari > > Unforutnately the nagios user has no problem runnign the script from the command line, and I believe that the proper IP of the UPS has been provided in service definition.

Seems that it would be easy enough, using the check_snmp plugin, to write a wrapper program that will notify me via e-mail should a given application be installed on someone's machine, or if a given application was removed from a machine. But I'd really like to get a listing of all of the installed apps. I currently use SNMP w/Nagios to get a listing of all running applications (everything that gets listed in the task manager) and services on a given machine, and I'd like to have similar functionality with installed programs.

I'm trying to test whether nrpe works on a client host. I have built nrpe on my server host and copied it to the client. I have inetd set up to start the nrpe daemon as needed. I'm running into the classic problem mentioned in the subject. To get this I run, while logged in to the client box, #/opt/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -n -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_procs The response comes back: CHECK_NRPE: Response packet had invalid CRC32 I found a reference to a patch for this developed by Simon Kitching some time in 2003 or 2004 that redirects the STD_ERR of the output of the check command to /dev/null: http://osdir.com/ml/network.nagios.devel/2004-03/msg00004.html (It's at the bottom of the page) What do I do with this patch? Is it already incorporated into the source code of Nagios 2.9? Does everyone run nrpe as a standalone daemon? Apparantly running this way causes the STD_ERR to be redirected to /dev/null already. I would rather use inetd to control operation of the nrpe. Please advise.

Indeed. I used it in the past. I used SNMPTT for trap translations with submit_check_result (script bundled with Nagios) to send back results to Nagios. You can also export the configs from evntwin and import them directly to remote servers with evntcmd. While this is only a matter of preference, I used Volatile service leaving active checks on. The active check command runs something like 'check_dummy 0 "Trap reset on $LONGDADETIME$"' so that by forcing an active check you can reset the Trap service to the OK state (another option I guess would be to have it set as a passive check with freshness checking with the same active command but I haven't tried that).

Is there any plugin which can do the same? I believe you can do something like: ./check_rpc -H -C nfs This is not a full functionality check, but if you do one (something like reading a file off NFS) keep in mind that is can cause a lot of interruptible processes while your NFS server is down. A better solution might possibly be monitoring applications running on top of NFS, if that's possible in your specific case.

If it is eth1 for example, the plugin uses eth0 by default and you will get no response on the interface because it is not the active one.

( about 5000) I use nagios 3.0a5. i do nothing but "host checks" to these hosts.( no service checks), as all I need is availability. I initially used check_ping for all and the hosts were polled in about 7-8 minutes. Check_ping opens about 100 -> 200 processes , and takes my machine to loads between 2 and 7 I have 50% free memory left and the CPU usage reaches 20% I tried "check_fping" for all ,( for a few hosts check_fping works just fine , it's way faster than normal ping) but the problem is that it opens lots and lots of processes that stay in the sleep state a while and then close. It reached 4000 processes if you can belive that and the load reached 270 :)) -- incredible right... This is not a server problem 4* Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz 7GB RAM 280 GB HD space So is there any way to limit the number of fping processes ?? Should I upgrade to 3.0b5 ?? is there any major difference? Is this a known issue that is solved by changing some config line ?? Does anybody monitor a huge number of hosts with Nagios, if yes, how does he do it? Any help will be appreciated..

Use check_icmp instead. It will provide an enormous performance boost for you, especially if you do it like this: ln -s check_icmp check_host and then run check_host $HOSTADDRESS$ in your command object definition. > Should I upgrade to 3.0b5 ??

I want to be able to track from Windows Event Log events to Uptime statistics and I want to attach tasks to this issues in order to solve them.

I imagine that's the problem. Check the nagios docs for the correct name of the macros to use.

You can try checking in the following order. 1. run the check command locally ie. on the nrpe server run as user nagios ( or whatever user is configured in nrpe.cfg but nagios is default ) PATH/check_load -w 15.. 2. from the client run the command PATH/check_nrpe -H -c check_load These tests should narrow down your problem.

It will query our database, stuff the results into an interim database, that I will use to build a Nagios config. However, I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to handle users with different time zones. We have a number of admins that will be accessing this from many areas, including the US zones and India. I realize this is borderline relevant, but I'm sure some of you have had to deal with this in the past. How do you do it? I'm trying to avoid having times displayed in a single time zone and having the local admins do time calculations and offsets just to get their systems monitored. I REALLY don't want to have a Nagios server in each time zone if I can in any way avoid it. I'd also be open to any third-party front ends that may handle this more gracefully than I might. :) As of right now, I'm using PHP and PostgreSQL, and will be building the config files with perl.

Functionally, I don't have any real huge issues. I can get it done. What I'm unsure of, is how much the presentation of the data will confuse the remote guys. Everyone will *presume* the numbers and times they're seeing are in their local time, and that might present some confusion. This can be handled somewhat with education and clearly-written help, but it will still be an issue. And since this is likely a common thing for people that do this type of thing globally, I thought I'd ask to see how others are handling it.

If it weren't for the fact that the C-based cgi's are going away, I'd suggest creating tz-aware wrapper functions around all the time-displaying commands, or perhaps just trying to get the tz from the browser. I'm unfamiliar with such things, but I assume most modern browsers somehow communicate their timezone information to the server when connecting. That's still an option, ofcourse, but you might be better off waiting for the next gui to come along. ymmv. -- 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.

This seems to be the case running on command line. What you may want to do is setup different Apache virtual hosts, say http://india.nagios.example.com//cgi-bin/status.cgi, http:/// uk.nagios.example.com/cgi-bin/status.cgi, etc and within each of those virtual hosts in Apache, set the TZ variable. Then, from the website, it is obvious which timezone data you are looking at. > I'd also be open to any third-party front ends that may handle > this more gracefully than I might. :) As of right now, I'm using > PHP and PostgreSQL, and will be building the config files with > perl. With Opsview (http://opsview.org), we'd like to incorporate timezone support so that a user can choose their timezone and get data displayed accordingly (http://trac.opsview.org/wiki/RoadMap).

Why are you using nrpe against a machine and then testing the web server on the same local machine? If you have a good reason and insist on doing this, then try logging in the the machine 10.10.10.34 and running the check_http -a 10.10.10.34 command manually to see if the plugin is returning properly. Nrpe could timeout waiting for the plugin. Alternatively you can also try to increase the check_nrpe timeout to 30 secs with -t 30. -h Hari Sekhon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

You don't need to because Nagios will perform them on an as needed basis by default when a service on the host returns a non-ok state. When those versions of nagios perform host checks, they're done sequentially, not in parallel, and _nothing_ else happens, not even service checks. This introduces significant delays, especially when you're trying to complete many service checks in a short interval. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm having a problem with the external commands piece through the web interface however. I seem to be missing the /rw/nagios.cmd file. I have read through the external commands documentation, and have the cgi.cfg and nagios.cfg setup to do it properly, but if I check the logs I see that it can't find the file, or that another process may be running. I can verify that nagios is not running with ps -ef | grep nagios. I am leaning towards a permissions issue somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks.

The rw folder that is... You do need special permissions there, something like: drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 4096 Oct 30 12:29 rw nagios is the nagios process, while nagcmd is a group with nagios and your apache user in. > Next challenge will be NDOUtils.... > Good luck, that looks on the horizon eventually for us as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

This way other people can follow the thread and help you as well, or see a solution if they have this problem and are reading an archive of it. What is your primary interface on the box on which you are running this plugin? If it is eth1 for example, the plugin uses eth0 by default and you will get no response on the interface because it is not the active one. In that case you would need to run ./check_dhcp -i eth1 to make it use the right interface. Also, have you tried doing ./check_dhcp -vvv [other options you need] could you please reply with the full output of that? We really need more information otherwise all we can do it guess what the problem is. -h Hari Sekhon trevor obba wrote: > Thanks for your reply. > > Sorry i am using using check_dhcp from nagios plugins > > ./check_dhcp -h > check_dhcp (nagios-plugins 1.4.3) 1.1 > Copyright (c) 2001-2004 Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org) > > my black box (infoblox) lease ip addresses to windows workstation, linux workstation but not check_dhcp nagios plugin. > it does not even log any ip requirest from check_dhcp. > > Can you help? please. > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Hari Sekhon > To: trevor obba > Cc: nagiosplug ; nagios-user > Sent: Friday, 26 October, 2007 5:47:06 PM > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] check_dhcp on infoblox > > trevor obba wrote: > >> Has anyone successfully had any check_dhcp nagios plugin working on infoblox?

If you can connect to the customer host directly, the proceed as you would for any other host. If the customer host is hidden behind the vpn device and you cannot access it directly, then either you must forward ports or you see if that customer host can see your nagios server and then set up passive host checks to send results back to your nagios server.

You'll need to tell us more about the proxy host and what you're wanting to check on the remote hosts to get a definite answer but, if the proxy is a linux box you could use NRPE to launch checks of the remote boxen from the proxy.

I need some clarification, if you cannot reach your customers and they cannot reach you, then how is it a vpn? What does it connect? Ports? 5666 on the client side if using nrpe. 5667 on your side if using nsca. basic stuff... Really, Marc's idea may be best for you. If your proxy box is linux, then just nrpe to that box and get it to check your hosts.

Nagios users' confusion, or Debian users' confusion? The Nagios users will ofcourse expect Nagios to rotate its own logs, while Debian folks with no clue of Nagios will (most likely) expect logrotate to do it for them. Nagios is a state machine. It reacts on state switches. It can load state from files, but doing so is obviously less optimal than just keeping them in memory. For large to huge networks, loading them from file may not be an option. Apart from that, you'll have to make sure that the nagios.cfg file is kept in sync with the logrotate config somehow, since the cgi's do some clever things that requires them to know when the logs are rotated. AFAIK, logrotate can't make logfiles with the names expected by the CGI's, so unless you have another gui to use with Nagios, I'd really recommend you either patch the cgi's (extensively) or don't fiddle with it. > One of these expected > things is that logs are rotated using logrotate, which allows people > to specify, for example, how many log generations are to be held. > Historical monitoring data can be of great value and should, basically, never be rotated out. > Unfortunately, to do so, we need to disable nagios' built-in log > rotation or we get double rotated logs. > > Is it possible to tell nagios not to rotate the logs?

Note that the OID changes based on whether it has an NPE-G1 or not. I'm 99% sure that below is inlet temperature. For other devices, just do an snmpwalk or look at the MIB to identify the temperature OID you're interested in. -- define command { command_name check_temperature command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u 'Degrees Celsius' -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.2 -C $USER3$ -w 37:32 -c 99:38 -l 'Temperature is' } define command { command_name check_temperature_npe-g1 command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u 'Degrees Celsius' -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1 -C $USER3$ -w 37:32 -c 99:38 -l 'Temperature is' } -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

You are right of course. I think the idea is to be able to use a single web interface to do a few simple tasks. I guess the real question is if I can reschedule checks by group instead of singly by host. If so I can coble together a way to do it. I just didn't see a way to reschedule a check like this. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

There don't appear to be any that are promising other than enable/disable active checks -- Schedule downtime for all hosts in this hostgroup Schedule Downtime For All Services In This Hostgroup Enable Notifications For All Hosts In This Hostgroup Disable Notifications For All Hosts In This Hostgroup Enable Notifications For All Services In This Hostgroup Disable Notifications For All Services In This Hostgroup Enable Active Checks Of All Services In This Hostgroup Disable Active Checks Of All Services In This Hostgroup -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

You cannot get an actual temperature value from them, just a temperature state. You'll need to use this SNMP Table: ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.6 Possible states are: 1:normal 2:warning 3:critical 4:shutdown 5:notPresent 6:notFunctioning The 3560 and 3550 only have one thermal sensor so it's 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.6.1 > -----Original Message----- > From: nagios-users-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users- > bounces at lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Patrick M. > Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 10:21 AM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] How to monitor temp on Cisco 7200's? > > Hi all, > > I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what plugins to use > to check temperature for a Cisco 7200 router.
