That's correct.  SCSI disks do not support SMART, only ATA and SATA disks do.

http://linux.dell.com/monitoring.shtml

OMSA contains a program for monitoring PERC controllers.  It shouldn't
be hard to wrap a nagio check around it.  In fact, there's a number of
user contributed checks already at:

Hugo,

Thanks for your reply.

You have a point, probably the reason for not working.

I actually expected that the first_notification timer 
is extracted from the normal check_interval.

Do you have a suggestion how to make this work?

If you really want an answer, you should provide some information like how your HTTP check is configured, what error message is returned when it runs, as well as the standard information you should always include with any question to this list (see the footer on every email to this list regarding versions and OS).

Dear All,
 
    I have configured my hosts with the check-host-alive with check_ipmc and all of them have also the ping service.
 
Now I receive the notifications when the ping is down, but not the notifications for the host down, and I do not understand why. Often the ping do not go down for long, maybe it is not enought to put the host down. The second question is what's the real point to have the ping service configured on all the hosts if the host check is done via icmp.
 
Thanks you for your answers and best regards,

All plugins should go in /usr/local/nagios/libexec folder, the plugin should
be made executable. You can reference the path to the libexec folder by
specifying the path of the plugins in resource.cfg file.

service checks are ran before host checks. So, ping service might be down
but the host might still be up. It also depends on how many times you
specify a service to be checked before it goes to critical state. Nagios
will run all service checks before it runs host check.

So if I want to reduce the number of notifications I can disable the notifications on the service and leave on the notifications on the hosts.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Host and ping service notification

service checks are ran before host checks. So, ping service might be down but the host might still be up. It also depends on how many times you specify a service to be checked before it goes to critical state. Nagios will run all service checks before it runs host check.

Dear All,

   I have configured my hosts with the check-host-alive with check_ipmc and all of them have also the ping service.

Now I receive the notifications when the ping is down, but not the notifications for the host down, and I do not understand why. Often the ping do not go down for long, maybe it is not enought to put the host down. The second question is what's the real point to have the ping service configured on all the hosts if the host check is done via icmp.

Thanks you for your answers and best regards,

Davide,
Make sure you read this very very well

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html

It will answer all your questions.

Also, you can't specify the number of times messages can be sent to you but
you can specify the amount of time to run service and host checks. You can
also specify the state a device is in before it can send notifications.

Alex

Hi,

I want to modify the value of "*Retry Check Interval" *to put it at 5 
min. So, i modified the nagios.cfg at this:*
#*command_check_interval=1
command_check_interval=5

When i restart nagios server, the "*Retry Check Interval" *in services 
definition don't have modified. If i add a new service, the "*Retry 
Check Interval" *has always the value '1'. Why?

Can someone help me, please?

Hi Pallav,

if you just want to monitor, if the management-interface of the switch 
is  up or down, you can use check_icmp or something like that.
MIB-2 is a standart-MIB which suits for many different devices.

If you wanna monitor the fan, or the cpu-load or something like that, 
you need the corresponding OID from MIB-2 (or from some special 
Cisco-Mibs). However, this depends greatly on what you want to monitor. 
(Maybe you want to tell us? ;-) )

Greetz, Marcus

I think you will need to do some research here:

 

SNMP : http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/esnmp/

Cisco MIB Browser: 
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&substep=2&t
ranslate=Translate&tree=NO

 

There is no hard and fast answer, it depends exactly what on that switch
you want to monitor.

 

If you just want to check that the switch is on, use something like
check_ping and forget SNMP altogether.

The OID depends on what you want to look for. So first os all, get yourself 
sure, what you want to monitor. CPU load, temperature of the divice, package 
or octet throughput (if yes: on what port), ...? When you walked through the 
MIB fo your device you will see that the switch delivers a lot of 
information.

Carole,

the option you modified refers to the interval for checking for external
commands in the Nagios external command file. The option you are looking for
seems to be retry_interval (present in Nagios 3) in the service definition
itself (or in some of the templates the service definition uses).

Please refer to the documentation.

The OID depends on what you want to look for. So first os all, get 
yourself

package 
or octet throughput (if yes: on what port), ...? When you walked through

Pallav, why don't you just google for this?

 

I don't think many on this list appreciate being your personal search engine. None of us get paid for our advice on this list, and there are plenty out there who are happy to get paid for this type of consultancy.

 

This link seems to have much of the information you might need: http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_info.html

 

I'm sure there are specific Cisco check plugins out there as well. Any google search for something including some of the following search terms: "Nagios, Cisco, SNMP, Plugin, Check" will unearth a myriad of methods you can use to achieve what you need.

The OID depends on what you want to look for. So first os all, get yourself 
sure, what you want to monitor. CPU load, temperature of the divice, package 
or octet throughput (if yes: on what port), ...? When you walked through the 
MIB fo your device you will see that the switch delivers a lot of 
information.

Yes it has.
This contact does get RECOVERY notifications for other services but not
for the specific one...

The notification options for the service are the same as for other
services as all have the statement
use generic-service
within their configuration...

Pallav,
CPU usage - use snmp. This is the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0

Memory usuage - use  check_snmp_mem.pl from
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_mem.html

System description - snmpwalk the entire device or search for it on cisco
website

Port Status - Which port do you want to monitor. You can use check_tcp or
check_udp

Hope this helps.

Alex

Subject: Monitoring Windows Servers - Comparing Options
Message-ID: <1689390EF608584D85BA56D958A5D1E45A10B3BB69@CorpExMBS1.arcadis-us.com>

For the past few years Nagios has been the most important tool for monitoring my network and Linux servers. I now have 'buy in' from the department handling the Windows Servers to at least show them how Nagios can help them to stay on top of issues, without all of the false positive alerts that they get from current tools, which can cause people to want to ignore most issues.

So, my question is, what is the best option for monitoring Windows Servers and why?
An important factor to consider is that I will probably not have Administrative access to any of the Windows Servers that I will be monitoring.

I'm currently considering three options for the reasons shown below (in order of preference):
1) WMI checks
        Pros
        -Complete control of NRPE service on 'my' Windows Server
                (Can this be distributed over two boxes?)
        -Complete control of check commands on Nagios Server
        Cons
        -NRPE service must be run from an account with access to all Windows Servers.

2) Agent checks - NRPE-NT or some other current Windows Agent
        Pros
        -???
        Cons
        -Requires an agent setup and running on every Windows Server
        -No direct control of agents/check commands

3) SNMP based checks
        Pros
        -Complete control over check commands on Nagios Server
        Cons
        -No direct control of SNMP Community Strings/ACL allowing access from Nagios
        -No direct control of SNMP service

How do you do it? Are there any other Pros & Cons that I might be missing? Do you think I should consider a process/utility not listed?

I'm open to suggestions on which agent is best, but I can probably determine this from list archives and testing. At this time I'm more interested in which high-level option would be the best fit.
Perhaps there is a good reason to use more than one of the above options, and I'm just not aware of it yet.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Message-ID: <6E05344E8A933549A9F022026B22A1F4C30319@platypus.smi.sendmail.com>

Greetings!

To get the prelims out of the way:

 Nagios 3.0
 FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE

Problem: I have built and installed 3.0 on this system, but when I run the verification, I get a bus error.

The output is:

nagios# /usr/local/nagios3/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios3/etc/nagios.cfg

Bus error




Not a lot to go on.  :-(   And, yes, the Klingon at the end is as it is output. Funny, tho, the last line in the config file is the "max_debug_file_size" config, but it looks like it repeats back up to the top where the "log_file" is. Does this have something to do with the caching?

No core file produced, but if I try the init script, I get:

Starting nagios:Bus error (core dumped)
CONFIG ERROR!  Start aborted.  Check your Nagios configuration.

and a core file in the rc.d directory.

I built this natively and saw no errors during the build or the install(s). Here is the set of config options I used:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios3   \
            --with-nagios-user=nagios    \
            --with-nagios-group=nagios  \
            --with-lockfile=/var/run/nagios3.lock  \
            --enable-embedded-perl  \
            --with-perlcache  \
            --with-checkresult-dir=/var/spool/nagios3/checkresults  \
            --with-htmurl=/nagios3/  \
            --with-cgiurl=/nagios3/cgi-bin  \
            --with-httpd-conf=/usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

This is also the same system that we have Nagios 1.2 running on.

Ideas? Bueller?

Thanks, as always!

(Hi: I realize that nagios-users has members world-wide, but just in  
case you or someone you know is in the San Francisco Bay Area: you're  
invited to the BayLISA Monitoring SIG, Weds, April 9 2008, 7PM. See  
the meeting announcement pasted below: feel free to post it and/or  
forward it along to anyone else who might be interested. Many thanks! - 
Peter)

=================================================

Monitoring SIG XV: Nagios 3.0

A very special SIG: Ethan Galstad, project lead for Nagios, will be in  
from Minnesota to talk about the features of the newly-released Nagios  
3.0.  He'll also be available to field your questions about Nagios in  
general and where it's headed.

What: BayLISA Monitoring SIG XV: Nagios 3.0
Who: Anyone interested in IT monitoring issues and tools (newbies  
particularly welcome!)
When: Wednesday, April 9 2008, 7PM
Where: GroundWork Open Source, 139 Townsend St., San Francisco
How: 139 Townsend St. is very near AT&T Ballpark. It is one and a half  
blocks from the CalTrain Depot. Take the MUNI T or N trolley to 2nd  
and King (ballpark stop) or take the 30 or 45 bus (among others)  
crosstown. Allow extra travel time as the Giants are playing a home  
game that evening (vs. the Padres, 7:15PM start) so all the streets,  
sidewalks, and public transit around our office will be packed. DO NOT  
DRIVE unless you're willing to sit in gridlock and pay exorbitant  
amounts for parking.
Cost: Free!!

Piping hot pizza, fridge cold pop, and room-temperature snack food  
provided by GroundWork. We'll open up the doors at 6:30 or so and  
start the formal part of the meeting promptly at 7PM.

RSVP (not necessary, but helpful): Peter Mui, pmui at groundworkopensource.com 
, 415-992-4573, www.groundworkopensource.com

Hmmmm...

I re-compiled without the embedded-perl and perlcache, and the verification passed. So maybe there's an issue with one of these.

Anyways, if anyone has had a similar problem, I'd still be interested in hearing about it.

I had basically the same problem with Solaris 8 -- segmentation fault when
running a verify.  I followed your lead and reconfigured with
	--prefix=/usr/local/nagios-3.0 
	--without-embedded-perl 
	--without-perlcache

And it worked!  Thanks very much.  I did not have this problem with  3.0 rc1
or rc2 (or with 2.x).

Hmmmm...

I re-compiled without the embedded-perl and perlcache, and the verification
passed. So maybe there's an issue with one of these.

Anyways, if anyone has had a similar problem, I'd still be interested in
hearing about it.

Subject: A fix for EXTREME slowness
Message-ID: <47F2676B02000048000F902F@inet-wh2.gmhwh.org>

I'm resending this email because there was not a single response to my
previous email. I have to think that someone else has run into this
problem, and I would like to know what others have done and suggestions
for the implementation of a good fix. We have solved this problem in the
short term, but we want to implement a more robust long terms solution.
We had a huge performance increase from fixing the problem, so if you
have noticed your web server taking a long time to process your
status.cgi and extinfo.cgi page requests, please read on.....


This email has a description of the problem, the symptoms, our interim
fix, and a possible long term fix. If you have been noticing large (or
larger) load times for status.cgi and/or extinfo.cgi, please read this
entire message.


We have recently had our comments.dat file grow to a much larger size
(due to increased need for comments). This file grew to about 4.8MB. To
read or write this size of file is not a problem, but the processing of
it in status.cgi and extinfo.cgi was slowing things down significantly.
To give you an idea, the page load times went from a few seconds to over
a minute on our production systems.

Since the load times were so bad we started looking for the cause. It
became evident that it was the processing of the comments.dat file. We
created a program to take the comments more than 30 days old and archive
them into an archive file. The reduces the load time so significantly
that we decided to do some tests on a non-production system.

We took the large 4.8MB file and reduced the number of entries until
there were only 30 days worth in the file (down to 90, 80, 70, 60, 50,
40 and finally 30 days). Then we ran tests on status.cgi for each of
these filesizes. Using just a crude stopwatch we measured the times it
took to load the various pages. I have created a spreadsheet file and
graph for the data. The test seems to indicate that the size of the
comments.dat file dramatically affects the page load times. On the test
server, the load times for the 4.8MB file were in the 9 to 10 second
range, while the 2MB file were under 2 seconds. Here is a table of the
results:

File size | Time
-----------------
4.85      | 9.5
3.95      | 6.0
3.00      | 2.8
2.03      | 2.0

This seems to show rather exponential growth rather than linear. We have
ended up in the short term archiving the old data, reducing the file to
the much more reasonable 2MB size and cutting the times significantly.

The results on the production server is even more dramatic reducing the
load time from 70 seconds to about 3 seconds. This was more of a problem
on the production system because there were more status.cgi processes
running at the same time. A 95% reduction in the load time is very
significant.

Are there others who have seen this as a big problem, or is it not a
typical problem that has been encountered? Have others found a way to
fix this problem other than reducing the number of comments in the
comments file?

So there seems to be a need to make this information be more a database
type access, rather than a "parse this big file and see what drops out
that we want" access. This could easily be done with a real relational
database, or even a more simple database, to retrieve only the comments
for the host/service desired. We are willing to do the work on this, but
would like it to be incorporated into Nagios code base so that we are
not having to port this functionality on upgrades in the future.

If you are interested in this type of enhancement, please let me know.
In addition, if you have suggestions for the implementation of real
comments database (yes, we are experienced in this area, and have OUR
ideas of how we want to implement it, but we'd like to know of other
opinions so that we can increase the likelihood of it being incorporated
into the standard release), please let me know.

Thanks!

Cary Petterborg

Subject: checking all partitions on Windows host via check_nt?
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40804011837l3b6e808cv844c2535bbec89e7@mail.gmail.com>

In the nrpe.cfg file on my montored box, I have the following command (which
works beautifully).

check command[check_disks_proc_mounts]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w
15% -c 10% $(for x in $(cat /proc/mounts |awk '{print $2}')\; do echo -n "
-p $x "\; done)

I am looking to make a check_nt equivalent to that command.  Has
anyone done this? Or do they have any ideas on how I might possibly do
so?

Nice to see my original bash idea has proliferated...

I actually had this thought last year as well and my original solution 
was a very cheap bash script to loop through calls to the different 
drive letters, which worked, but was
prone to being sensitive on latency since it had to make many round 
trips (The same was true of checking multiple services in this way).

I think it would be better to have a native windows plugin to do this, I 
just haven't had time to get round to writing and testing it.

I actually did write a windows plugin for the multiple services check 
but have been so short on time that I wasn't able to thoroughly test 
every code branch so I didn't release it. (it's similar in code base to 
the check all automatic services are running plugin that I released though).

In fact, there are one or two plugins out there that do windows disk and 
services, but I didn't like their style, I felt the output was 
incoherent with Nagios style leading to a more mis-mashed dashboard 
(which I keep on a screen by my desk at all times) and my coding was 
more thorough so I didn't use them... but you're welcome to dig them out 
and try them if you want. Have a peek at Nagios Exchange.

I'm hoping to get time soon to thoroughly test my services plugin and 
also do the disk check plugin too. Stay tuned.

Help : Unable to see any Host except local Host





Dear All

I have made changes in nagios.cfg and switches.cfg files but still I am

of the switches.

Also I have added a windows server 2003 with necessary changes done on 
both ends as per the nagios documentation, bt still the device is not 
coming , nagios home page is showing only local host.

Please help.

try running (make sure it's the correct paths):

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Does it prints any errors?

If you initiate a restart from init.d script with a broken config
chances are that it will not restart at all.

Did you uncomment the switch.cfg in nagios.cfg?

root at nagios:/etc/nagios# grep switch.cfg . -r
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/switch.cfg

Then make sure all your config files are referenced from nagios.cfg,
either with config_file or config_dir directives.

I'd like to suggest that most people don't use the comments feature for
long term or extensive storage of notes about hosts and services. Are
you sure you're using the right feature of Nagios to accomplish your
goal?

This is really what the notes_url feature is for; have you looked at
that? No worries about upgrades there and you have the flexibility to
store the information any way you like.

If you want to optimize the comments code, without using a database 
(nagios has moved away from that for a number of reasons), I'd suggest
subscribing to nagios-devel. Ethan doesn't monitor this list that I am
aware of and he's the only one that has any say in what gets added.

Subject: Nagios plugin to regularly reload Nagios
Message-ID: <47F389A0.6060604@anyweb.ch>

Hi all

I am trying to regularly reload Nagios to activate automatically 
generated Nagios configuration files.

A shell script such as the one on

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=9

might be executed as a cron job to accomplish this.

However, I'd like to run this script as a normal Nagios plugin to keep 
all the tasks configured at the same place. When Nagios executes this 
plugin, Nagios does get restarted but the plugin does not get 
rescheduled after "normal_check_interval" minutes. It gets rescheduled 
after ~"max_service_check_spread"/2 minutes instead...

Only the "Nagios reload" plugin is scheduled this way. Any other plugins 
are scheduled correctly (that is, they retain scheduling information 
since "use_retained_scheduling_info" is set to "1")

I have run the tests on Nagios 3.0.1, 3.0, 3.0rc3 and 2.11.

Anyway: How can I correctly reload Nagios using a Nagios plugin? Is 
there any method besides the above to regularly reload Nagios 
non-interactively? Is there possibly any other way to regularly activate 
Nagios configuration files non-interactively?

Thanks, David

Has anyone attempted any mod_rewrite-fu to provide nagios with cleaner
looking urls?
Changing the usual nagios.server.com/nagios/extinfo.cgi?&type=4   type url to

nagios.server.com/nagios/extinfo/perfdata/server#/

Anyone attempted this? Googling for such mod_rewrite info hasn't
yeilded anything useful.

Hi,
         I have recently fired up 3.0.1 and have a question related to the web UI. I have not seen a solution or workaround posted yet but I have seen the question asked before. Here goes ...  In non-3X nagios installs, if you are on a page in the web UI and hit refresh, it refreshes the page. In 3.x hitting  F5 takes you back to the home page. That is going to be a hard habit to break for me and a few other admins I have spoken with. First off, are there plans to modify this behavior going forward and, if not, does anyone have any workarounds or fixes at this time? Thanks, -Seth

You know, this happened to me when I first started playing with Nagios 3
while also running Nagios 2.  I can't remember the exact problem, but I
think it was somewhere in the Apache config I was using.  Like maybe
that I using an inconsistent "ServerName" in the Apache configuration or
something like that.  Once I fixed things in Apache things worked as
they did under Nagios 2.
 
So as far as I know this is not a "feature" of Nagios 3.
 
Mark

Refreshing a page
	
	

	Hi,

	         I have recently fired up 3.0.1 and have a question
related to the web UI. I have not seen a solution or workaround posted
yet but I have seen the question asked before. Here goes ...  In non-3X
nagios installs, if you are on a page in the web UI and hit refresh, it
refreshes the page. In 3.x hitting  F5 takes you back to the home page.
That is going to be a hard habit to break for me and a few other admins
I have spoken with. First off, are there plans to modify this behavior
going forward and, if not, does anyone have any workarounds or fixes at
this time? Thanks, -Seth

Subject: Nagios 3 status map options?
Message-ID: <291D3C0B-BF5A-4A27-8186-51E82A7C30FB@frontierflying.com>

I have been using Nexsm with nagios 2 for some time now, and have been  
reasonably happy with it. Unfortunately, I now want to update to  
nagios 3 for a number of reasons, but Nexsm doesn't support Nagios 3  
and the developer says he probably won't have time to update it for a  
while. Therefore, I am wondering what alternatives might be out there  
that do work with Nagios 3?

I tried Nagvis a while ago (while still on 2, haven't tried the latest  
version or on 3), but it proved to be too much of a pain to get  
configured the way I needed, as I would have had to add each host and  
link between hosts manually, as well as the fact that at least with  
the version I was using, the only way to move a host was to edit the  
coordinates manually. So what other good and relatively easy to  
configure options are there? Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi,

I am relatively new to nagios so here goes.

I have nagios 3 install on ubuntu server 7.10, I do not have any nagios 
plug-ins installed. I added my windows servers (server 2003) to the 
windows.cfg file. It is able to ping the servers, however, I am getting 
a connection refused for all the service checks.

What do I need to do to be able to check these services? Do I need to 
install a plug-in or do something to the windows server?

Thanks

You need to install and configure the agent on the Windows server.

Nagios won't check anything without plugins so it seems that you have at
least some installed if you can get nagios to successfully ping a
server. At the very least you should install the standard plugins
package.

What services are you checking and how are you checking them (i.e
service and command definitions)? Are you sure that they're available
the way you're trying to check them (i.e. try running the check command
from the command line as the nagios user to be sure it returns the
results you expect).

Subject: Need help with nrpe
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.64L.0804021818590.19716@scrubbing-bubbles.mit.edu>

I have some Dell PowerEdge Linux servers that I want to monitor with nrpe. 
I've installed nrpe daemon on the servers, and nrpe client on my nagios 
station, which is a simple low-end desktop.

I've configured nrpe enough that nagios at least presents me with a 
service line on the server that the service has returned a response it 
cannot handle - not an error, but more of a null.

I'm trying to get some perl scripts from nagiosexchange to be utilized.  I 
am able to run the scripts fine from the command line and see their 
details, but having problems figuring out how to properly configure nagios 
to get me the results properly.

I've got the OpenManage scripts, along with some basic Dell Hardware ones.

Beyond this, I may implement similar configurations on non Dell hardware, 
so getting it working here can lead me to configurations in a more 
flexible environment.

I happen to be using CentOS 5 and RHEL 5, all out-of-box, all items from 
CDs installed, no updates applied.

Thanks for any insights.

Scott

You need to go over the manual. Read it at least once from cover to
cover. Then you can ask specific questions and avoid the generic "I have
not read the manual" type of questions.

You have to create host and related services for those host before nagios
will be able to monitor them.
Please read the manual on how to create host and services.

Subject: Nagios External Commands
Message-ID: <B49A6944AC96B046B19F77624D7E2530C642BE@kamino.card.co.uk>

HI there, 

 

I'm having some issues with Nagios External commands. 

Basically, they're not working. 


I've compiled Nagios with cmdgroup=nagcmd, added Nagios and apache users
to the nagcmd group. 

I can see the commands being written to Nagios.cmd in /opt/nagio/var/rw/
however they don't go anywhere from there...

 

The relevant lines in my Nagios.cfg file looks like this:

check_external_commands=1

command_check_interval=30s

command_file=/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

downtime_file=/opt/nagios/var/downtime.dat

comment_file=/opt/nagios/var/comments.dat

 

The permissions on the folder look like this:

drwxrwsr-x  2 nagios nagcmd 4096 Apr  2 16:42 .

-rw-r--r--  1 apache nagcmd  249 Apr  2 16:45 nagios.cmd

 

Any ideas what it could be?

 

Cheers

Gavin

Commands can be ignored due to an invalid format.  The format is
===
[epoch time] command;arg1;arg2;arg3
===
[1207211861] ENABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;hostname
===

Commands can also be ignored if the args don't match what nagios knows  
about, i.e. invalid/non-existant hostname in this case

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/extcommands.html and http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php 
  have more info (if you haven't seen them already).

Your nagios.cmd is a regular file and _not_ a named pipe.
This file is not created by nagios!

Please delete this file and do a nagios restart.
The pipe should be created automaticaly.

did you installed net_snmp before compiling pluggins?
look in the libexec subfolder if you have check_snmp... if you installed
nagios in /usr/local/nagios it should be in /usr/local/nagios/libexec
if you didn?t installed net-snmp before you should do it and recompile
pluggins

plugins

You can get it from net-snmp.sourceforge.net
Depends on the linux distro you are using. If you are using debian and you
are connected to the internet you can use apt to search for net-snmp. Use
this command to search for all snmp libraries you need to install using
debian or ubuntu

apt-cache search snmp

select the packages you wish to install and install them using

apt-get install package1 package 2 package 3 etc

If you are using centos or redhat, you can use yum or the redhat/centos cd
to install net-snmp

yum install net-snmp

You can get it from net-snmp.sourceforge.net

Depends on the linux distro you are using. If you are using debian and you 
are connected to the internet you can use apt to search for net-snmp. Use 
this command to search for all snmp libraries you need to install using 
debian or ubuntu

apt-cache search snmp

select the packages you wish to install and install them using

apt-get install package1 package 2 package 3 etc

If you are using centos or redhat, you can use yum or the redhat/centos cd 
to install net-snmp

yum install net-snmp

okay - it means that you haven't installed net-snmp or your community 
string is wrong. Have you installed net-snmp?

How are you using check_snmp. Show us your command file for ./check_snmp

This would best be covered by the Support channels for Net-SNMP (if installing from source), or your Operating System support channels.

It is not really a Nagios issue, simply a pre-requisite for check_snmp.

Read my last mail to you. It depends on the linux distro you are using. What linux distro are you using?

Pili is correct. You have to install net-snmp before you compile nagios plugins

look in the libexec subfolder if you have check_snmp... if you installed nagios in /usr/local/nagios it should be in /usr/local/nagios/libexec
if you didn?t installed net-snmp before you should do it and recompile pluggins

Subject: check_logfiles retaining state information
Message-ID: <C2CDA28CB6E1484BB10006BF326D4D0832E357@srv-cob-00-0056.elaxy.org>

Hi All!

I am trying to implement check_logfiles and it is not behaving the way I
expect and I was hoping that someone might be able to help . My
config-file looks like this:


$seekfilesdir = '/var/tmp';
$protocolsdir = '/var/tmp';
@logs = (
  {
    tag => 'jimmo',
    logfile => '/tmp/messages',
    criticalpatterns => [ 'Handling the connection'],
  },
);


If I copy  /var/log/messages to /tmp/messages and then run

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles -v -f
/tmp/jimmo_somelogfiles.cfg

I get the output that I expect:

CRITICAL - (5293 errors in
jimmo_somelogfiles.protocol-2008-04-03-13-38-58) - Apr  3 13:38:42
nts-mgm-17 nsca[327]: Handling the connection... ...|jimmo_lines=33772
jimmo_warnings=0 jimmo_criticals=5293 jimmo_unknowns=0

If I run the command again it finds nothing, which I expect. If I delete
the seek and protocol files in /var/tmp, I would expect that that script
starts over. It has no information about the state, so it must logically
start over from the beginning of the file. However, it doesn't and I
get:

OK - no errors or warnings|jimmo_lines=0 jimmo_warnings=0
jimmo_criticals=0 jimmo_unknowns=0

If I add lines with 'Handling the connection' to /tmp/messages and run
check_logfiles again, it finds the lines I just added. If I remove
/tmp/messages and re-create after deleting the state files, it reports
the correct number of matches.

It seems that the state information is being kept somewhere other than
/var/tmp. The default is /tmp, but I found nothing there. 

Any ideas if/where state data is being kept and/or how to force the
script to think that it should read the file from the beginning? 

Best Regards,

Jim Mohr

Verizon Wireless has now gotten more restrictive with text messages via
email.  Our Nagios server sends text messages to 5554443333 at vtext.com ,
from nagios at server.domain.internal (the box's hostname does not resolve
from the Internet).  Starting last night, Verizon is now bouncing the
mail, saying:
 
553 #5.1.8 Domain of sender address <*********> does not exist (MTA,
Unknown, with IP address, X.X.X.X).
 
Does anyone know of a way to get Nagios to use a different From address
(ie, a legit one)?
 
Thanks,

It most probably not Nagios that you should configure rather than your 
SMTP server (Sendmail, postifx,...)

You should change it so that it masquerades your "server.domain.internal" 
domain into a legit one. It's quite simple you should find all the info 
needed on the Net.

Or maybe you might also change your DNS so that "server.domain.internal" 
becomes legit'. (But then you will also probably have to configure your 
SMTP server(s) to accept e-mail for the "server.domain.internal" 
domain...)

Cheers,

Cyrille

Do you have an internal mail server that's legit on the outside world?

Through postfix on Nagios I run the messages through our internal mail
server as a relayhost. For example:

/etc/postfix/main.cf

relayhost = [mail.myserver.mydomain]

This is a legitimate mail server, so it passes muster when sending the
message. Nagios spits the message to 1234567899 at vtext.com, but it gets
processed through mail.myserver.mydomain before it goes out the door.

Just a thought.

Regards,
Max

I thought of that, but the "From" address would still be
nagios at server.domain.internal.  I still need to do that step though...so
thanks!

OP: also note that if you cat, tail or otherwise view the contents of
the named pipe as you did above, you will remove the contents of the
pipe from the queue and nagios will not see the commands.

Maybe. Once you start detailing _exactly_ what hardware you want to
monitor and under what OS, we might be able to start providing you with
specific answers. It also helps to detail what you've researched or
tried already (you did do that, didn't you?) so that we don't repeat
ground you've already covered.

The support formula is pretty simple and it reflects your attempts at
self-service. Specific questions get specific answers. General questions
get general answers. Showing a lack of interest in figuring it out on
your own tells us the problem isn't important to you so why should it be
important to us?

Looks like you could probably use snmp to monitor it, but it depends on
what you want to monitor and what is available through snmp on the
device. I don't believe there is anything specifically written for this
device.

Thanks,

I'm using nagios-2.9 installed from the Dag RPM.  Whomever built that
RPM neglected to include daemonchk.cgi :-(  So the init script doesn't
work.  I grabbed the 2.11 source and did ./configure, make all but
daemonchk.cgi is not built.

Is there anywhere I can just download a compiled daemonchk.cgi to use?

Been there, done that.  Returns dozens of references to daemonchk.cgi,
including the FAQ that tells me that it's supposed to be in contrib/  It
isn't... daemonchk.c is, but will not compile.  It's full of references
to libraries and headers in the wrong place, and finally a variable
getcgivars which does not exist.

So... if anyone can either point me to a compiled daemonchk.cgi, or tell
me the secret to getting daemonchk.c to compile, I'd appreciate it.

Subject: Service definition without contacts
Message-ID: <200804031943.34486.cschneemann@suse.de>

Hi,
I have some problems defining my services respectively creating hostgroups and 
allocate servicechecks to them.
Here an example:
I want to monitor 10 database-servers. So I could create the 
hostgroup "database-servers" and put the 10 hosts in this group. Afterwards I 
assign the database-check to this group and every host in this group gets his 
database monitored. This works as expected.
But now to my problem:
Almost every host has other contacts to get informed in an emergency.

A servicedefinition requires a contactgroup in its definition, according to 
the manual.

I have removed the "contact_groups" and "contacts" from the definitions and 
nagios started.

What behaviour can I expect? Will no notification be send out because no 
contacts are definied? Or can I expect a fallback to the contacts defined in 
the host definition?

The last one would be a nice-to-have.


Grettings,
Christian

I had some tests on it now and it seems that the mails are sent to the 
contacts defined in the hosts definition. Is it a "bug" or a undocumented 
feature?

Currently I'm using the default 24x7 time for monitoring.  We have a
support group in India where we want to shift monitoring there during
off hours.  Since service definition is currently using 24x7, would I
have to create separate services for each time period since the
notifications would go to two different groups?  What is the best way to
accomplish this?

You can define timeperiods in the contacts definition. If I understood the 
manual right, than a notification will only be sent to an contact if it's in 
the timeperiod defined for this contact.
Have a look at [0].
Keep in mind that you have to set the timeperiods of the indian group 
according to the timezone your nagios-server is in.

Hi,

You can simply add both India and non-India users to the same contact  
groups you're currently using. India team will have their notification  
timeperiod set to their working hours whereas the other team would have  
the remaining hours as their notification timeperiod.

I understand the first part about adding all to the same contact groups.
The second part I can't see how they would have their own hours, unless
I have a separate service defined?  For example if I have this (below)
what line(s) would I need to add/modify?  I'm thinking I would have to
have a different service defined for each check/notification period?

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       servername
        service_description             Free Space on /
	is_volatile			0
	check_period			24x7
	max_check_attempts		2
	normal_check_interval		3
	retry_check_interval		5
	contact_groups			admins
	notification_interval		30
	notification_period		24x7
	notification_options		u,r
	check_command			check_nrpe!check_root
        }

Folks,
How do I get check_http to input username/password for a particular url?

This is what I am doing:

# /opt/nagios/libexec/check_http -ssl -a myusername:mypassword -H
myhostname.fqdn -u /websitemanager/ControllerServlet -f follow -v

There is a redirection that happens and hence the -f follow switch/option,
after which it gets to a login page -
https://myhostname.fqdn/security/LoginFrameset.jsp this is where it needs to
input the username/password, but I don't think it goes past this, and I get
a 'string not found' error.

Here is the complete message (edited):

You don't need multiple service checks, you need multiple contact
groups.
Group 1 - Hours 9-5
Group 2 - Hours 5-9

Edit daemoncheck.c to change --

#include "../common/config.h"
#include "../common/common.h"
#include "../common/locations.h"
#include "../cgi/cgiutils.h"
#include "../cgi/getcgi.h"

... to

#include "../include/config.h"
#include "../include/common.h"
#include "../include/locations.h"
#include "../include/cgiutils.h"
#include "../include/getcgi.h"

... then

cd ~nagios-src && ./configure --params-here && make cgis && cd contrib
&& gcc -o daemonchk.cgi daemonchk.c ../cgi/getcgi.o  

$ ./daemonchk.cgi 
NAGIOS CRITICAL - could not find status log:
/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat

Note that the Makefile has this comment so YMMV. The implication is that
Dag may be using a 'special' version. I'd give it a try anyway though --

daemonchk.cgi: 
        @echo "This doesn't work with Nagios 2.x yet..."

Another alternative is to contact your package provider and ask them not
to modify the init scripts to require non-standard and non-supported
programs, especially if they're not including them. daemoncheck.cgi is
not used by the standard init scripts, or anything else related to the
distribution. I'm a bit surprised that Dag is doing that.

No,

I assume what you actually want is to:

1/ Monitor the service 24x7
2/ For India working hours, notify India
3/ For remaining hours, notify someone else

So, define single service, two contact groups and for India group members  
configure them for Indiaworkinghours time period and for "someone else"  
configure them for a timeperiod defining remaining hours.

Then if a problem comes in during Indiaworkinghours, India staff will get  
the message. On remaining hours "someone else" will get the message.

Please don't test your plugins as root. Root has greater access than the

check_http only works with htaccess authentication. Is that what you're
using?

It's following the redirection and sending the htaccess authentication
(Authorization) as it should.

I have a feeling the above are going to be relevant.

I'm not sure why it's returning this since you didn't tell it to search
for a string above. Is the above the complete command line you used?

Ok I understand now.
I'm looking at this in the wrong place.  I'm thinking I need to modify
the actual services, (which I will have to to some extent) though the
solution is in the contacts and timeperiods cfg.  I just stumbled across
p.234 of the manual on adding the host/service notification_period.  It
makes sense now.

The best way, in my opinion, is use SNMPTRAP, and some active checks.

I have defined onde service called "HARDWARE-TRAP" that receives all
problems related to the servers hardware problems, and let snmptrapd +
script send external command to nagios.

Hi
 
I'm having some problems getting NDOUtils running on a new Nagios
installation.  I have it running fine on a Nagios 3.0rc3 installation on
Ubuntu 6.06 server but I need to move to a new server.  I've gone to
Nagios 3.0 on a Ubuntu 7.10 machine which is all running fine but when I
can't get NDOUtils running.  I run through the installation several
times to make sure I've done everything, double-checked all config
files, confirmed the database and access but it won't run.  I see the
following in the Nagios log:-

Subject: first_notification_delay and host escalations in
	nagios 3.0
Message-ID: <200804032033.m33KXW1n039513@matrix.Colorado.EDU>

Hi List,

I'm having two problems with Nagios 3.0. The first is with
first_notification_delay. Here's my host definition:

define host {
	active_checks_enabled		1
	check_command			check_host_alive
	check_freshness			0
	check_period			24x7
	contact_groups			trouble_queue_24x7
	event_handler_enabled		0
	first_notification_delay	8
	flap_detection_enabled		0
	host_name			foo
	hostgroups			freebsd_servers, unix_servers
	max_check_attempts		3
	notification_interval		8
	notification_options		d,r
	notification_period		24x7
	notifications_enabled		1
	parents				foo-router
	passive_checks_enabled		0
	process_perf_data		0
	register			0
	retain_nonstatus_information	0
	retain_status_information	1
}

Here is the log:

[1207252682] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100%
[1207252752] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100%
[1207252822] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;HARD;3;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100%
[1207252852] HOST NOTIFICATION: trouble_queue_24x7;foo;DOWN;host_notify_by_email;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100%

If it decides that foo is down at 14:00:22, why does the notification
go out 30 seconds later? Am I misunderstanding something really
basic about first_notification_delay?

My second problem is with host escalations. If I define my host
escalation with a contact group:

define hostescalation {
	contact_groups		on_call_pager
	escalation_options	d,r
	escalation_period	weekdays_7am_to_6pm
	first_notification	2
	hostgroup_name		unix_servers
	last_notification	0
	notification_interval	0
}

That works as expected. If I use contacts instead of contact_groups,
escalations go to the contact specified /as well as/ the original
contact_group for the host. So, using the host definition and host
escalation above, if I use contacts, the escalation will go to
trouble_queue_24x7 and on_call_pager. If I use contact_groups, the
escalation will only go to on_call_pager. Is this expected behavior?
I assumed nagios would discard any previously defined contacts
and/or contact_groups in favor of what the host escalation specifies.

Subject: per host service notifications
Message-ID: <47F540B0.9080906@mordor.clayton.edu>

I am upgrading (finally) to version 2 of nagios.  I am trying to keep my 
configs as modular as possible using templating and groups wherever I 
can - the idea being adding a new host should be a one or two line 
change to inherit all needed "stuff".

The problem I'm running into are services and who gets contacted.
Lets take ping as a perfect example.   I have one definition of the ping 
service, which is the default one.  However, different hosts who 
different contact groups (ie. networkadmins, server admins, Avaya admins 
who should be notified of ping failures to network, server and Avaya 
hosts respectively).
I am able to define a contact group for a host (though not for a 
hostgroup it appears :( .     However, each service definition has a 
contact group defined in it.    So regardless of the host, the ping 
service is going to use the contactgroup defined in the service.

I realize that I could make the ping service a template, and then define 
a ping service for each contact group, but that seems ugly.

Is there an option I'm missing which would do something along the lines 
of "use the host contactgroup for all services on the host" or something 
like that?   To me that seems the most logical way around this.

Thanks
   -Dan

I noticed trends, statusmap, histogram cgi scripts are missing.  I just
installed gd-devel so I'm assuming those modules are what was missing in
the initial install (someone correct me if other modules might be
required).

I came across this article...

http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=55

...problem is, I don't know what folder it is referring to when it says
to run make devclean from nagios source code distribution and rerun the
configuration script.

>From NDOUtils 1.4.b7 Changelog:

1.4b7 - 10/31/2007
-----------------
NOTE: ** Requires Nagios 2.7 or higher, or Nagios 3.0b6
- Makefile fixes for compilation flags
- Fix for bug where service check table always had same start/end time
- Added sample init script for SLES (Bruno Quintais)
- Added --with-ndo2db-user and --with-ndo2db-group configure script options
- Fix for configfilevariables table not holding multiple entries for various
variables
- Changed/added indexes on various DB tables
- Added some very basic debug file capabilities (not complete yet)
- Fix for handling (backwards) system time changes
- Fix for missing SUN_LEN definition and strtof() functions on Solaris 8
(Christian Masopust)
- Fix for segfault when importing duplicate log file entries (Hendrik
Frenzel)
- Updated to support latest Nagios 3.x code (3.0b6)

So, I think Nagios3.0.X isn't supported yet. I'm having issues with ndomod
for nagios 3-x installs, so I've sticked with nagios 2.11 with 1.4b7 and it
works fine. Hold your migration, for a new release of the mod.

Cheers,

That is the same question I sent to the list 3 hours ago. I simple removed the 
contacts and contact_groups from the service definition. It seems that the 
contacts and contact_groups defined for the host are used, But I could also 
be a bug, I haven't tested it for a longer timeperiod, just a short test.

Maybe you could give it a test too and we can combine our experiences? Or 
anyone can advice us to the right manualpage?

Subject: Unable to monitor remote hosts with nrpe
Message-ID: <BCDBE043B52EBF43A3A7503B1DCB0819016F3674@mse12be1.mse12.exchange.ms>

I recently built a nagios 3.0 server and having a bit of problem getting remote hosts monitored correctly with nrpe. 

 

NRPE seems to be configured correctly on the local and remote host. 

[root at nagiosbox objects]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H nycplx01a -c check_load -t 30

OK - load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01|load1=0.080;15.000;30.000;0; load5=0.020;10.000;25.000;0; load15=0.010;5.000;20.000;0;

 

I added the following entries to nagios.cfg

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linuxhosts.cfg

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/ballista-host.cfg





I created a template host definition file. 

--- ballista-host.cfg --- 

define host {

        name                             ballista-host

        use                                 linux-server

        check_period            24x7

        retry_interval          5

        max_check_attempts      10

        check_command           check-host-alive

        notification_period     24x7

        notification_interval   30

        notification_options    d,r

        contact_groups          admins

        register                0

}

 

Here is the definition file I'm using to define my hosts. 

--- linux-hosts.cfg --- 

 

[root at nyadmlx01 objects]# cat linuxhosts.cfg

define host {

        use                     ballista-host

        host_name               nycplx01a

}

 

Checking services...

Error: Service check command 'check_nrpe' specified in service 'CPU Load' for host 'nycplx01b' not defined anywhere!

        Checked 10 services.

 

If anyone could help me with getting remote checks to work using nrpe I would greatly appricate it thanks.

I think the error message about says it...

A service definition is not a direct link to the filesystem.  You need
to define the 'check_nrpe' command and tie it to the check_nrpe binary
on the system.

I am a new Nagios user and trying to setup Nagios client on one of the
servers in DMZ. The Nagios server resides on the INSIDE LAN and it works
fine with all other LAN servers.

 

My question is which ports do I need to open in the firewall so that
Nagios client running on DMZ server can communicate with Nagios server
on the INSIDE LAN and vice-versa. 

 

Thanks,

Robby

Your question doesn't make sense.

Please be specific about what you're trying to set up, what
software you're trying to connect to, what versions you're using, 
and what happens when you try to do it.

We are using Nagios version 2.0

The Windows 2003 server which I need to minitor and the Nagios server
are on two different subnets. All of the traffic from Nagios server to
Windows 2003 server has to go via a Cisco firewall.

Now, which ports do I need to open in the firewall so that Nagios server
can communicate with the Windows 2003 server (Nagios Client)?

Hope it makes some sense now.

A number of people are working with this and Nagios 3.x, including myself :).

is due to some problems in the NDO Utils code that escapes SQL

other information I need from that database seems to be intact.

If you are using NRPE, you will need to open TCP port 5666

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf

If you are using an SNMP agent on the Windows host, you will need to
open UDP 161 for SNMP GET and WALK requests.  Use SNMP v3 if it is
available for your agent.

If you want to send SNMP traps from your Windows host to Nagios, you
will need to open an ACL orginating from the Windows server and
terminating at the Nagios server on port UDP 162.  Use SNMP v3 if it
is available with the agent you are using.

if you are submitting passive checks from the Windows host to the
Nagios server using send_nsca and the NSCA daemon, you will need to
open an ACL originating from the Windows server and terminating at the
Nagios server on port TCP 5667.

He is not. The RPM from Dag is just fine. I use it for ages now. I have
seen many references to it on this very mailinglist without anything as
simple as having issues with the init script.

So I think someone is mixxing a RPM installations with installation
instructions that are not suited to a RPM installation.

Hmm, I was hoping someone could help.

Basically I wan't one notification to the helpdesk 
when a host goes down.
Then one notification, let's say 1 hour later to the 
helpdesk manager.

How can I accomplish this?

Hmmm. I am always pretty sceptic about layouts. Mostly because they seem
to distract attention away from what a website is supposed to do. That
is to deliver content.

In general this website is not to cumbersome in that regard. But here is
a hint to make it better:
~ - Use real text info to indicate the supported versions. At the moment
that information is lost to visiting robots that will index the site.
Nor is it very clear to the human visitors. (Roman numbers are so non-tech.)

Hi,

AFAIK active directory is just LDAP. So check_ldap might do the trick.

Subject: notification_period,
	check_period and recovery notifications
Message-ID: <1207292059.18060.9.camel@bofh.dtnet.de>

Hi

I have a question about some time periods and notifications sent out

We are still running nagios 1.3 on debian sarge.

We have configured notification_period and check_period to 18x7
(06:00-24:00 every day)

Now it happens, that (in a distributed system) a service goes down at
about 10 pm, so a notification is sent out. Then the service comes up at
4 am and as it event isn't checked no notification is sent out.

The service is checked again at 6 am and reported as OK (show in the
web-interface) but STILL NO notification is sent out.

I don't think this is expected behavior... (especially not expected by
me!)

As I understood the documentation about notification periods every
recovery will be reported as the critical message was sent out.

Any ideas about that?

Regards
Sebastian Ries

Thanks for the responses.  Its not essential that I get this working
straight away so I'll probably hang on for a new version - it would be
great if you could post here when you have it running.

I was going to start looking at NagVis as well, but I guess in my
instance it won't work yet because my NDO database is empty?

I've double-checked all my config files and all the important settings match yours.

 

I wonder if this is a problem when doing a fresh install on Nagios 3.0 rather than upgrading from previous versions?

I'm using nagios 3.0 (from b6 through 3.0) and ndoutils 1.4.b7 since a few months against a Solaris 8 without problem. I'm monitoring around 50 servers and 700 services.

 

Here's my configuration:

 

root at xxx # cat ndomod.cfg

instance_name=default

output_type=unixsocket

 

output=/path/to/nagios/var/ndo.sock

tcp_port=5668

# increase this to a higher value if you want to be able to stop ndo2db a long time

output_buffer_items=50000

buffer_file=/path/to/nagios /var/ndomod.tmp

file_rotation_interval=14400

file_rotation_timeout=60

reconnect_interval=15

reconnect_warning_interval=15

data_processing_options=-1

config_output_options=0

 

root at xxx #  cat ndo2db.cfg

# set the name of the user launching ndo2db module broker

ndo2db_user=nagios

ndo2db_group=nagios

socket_type=unix

socket_name=/path/to/nagios/var/ndo.sock

tcp_port=5668

# config of the mysql backend

db_servertype=mysql

db_host=localhost

db_port=3306

db_name=nagios

db_prefix=nagios_

db_user=mysql_user

db_pass=mysql_passwd

# retention of data

max_timedevents_age=1440

max_systemcommands_age=10080

# = 100 days

max_servicechecks_age=144000

max_hostchecks_age=10080

max_eventhandlers_age=44640

debug_level=1

debug_verbosity=0

debug_file=/path/to/nagios/var/ndo.debug

max_debug_file_size=1000000

 

Finaly, nagios.cfg contains this line:

# ndoutils broker

broker_module=/path/to/nagios/bin/ndomod.o config_file=/path/to/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg

>From NDOUtils 1.4.b7 Changelog: 

1.4b7 - 10/31/2007
-----------------
NOTE: ** Requires Nagios 2.7 or higher, or Nagios 3.0b6
- Makefile fixes for compilation flags
- Fix for bug where service check table always had same start/end time
- Added sample init script for SLES (Bruno Quintais)
- Added --with-ndo2db-user and --with-ndo2db-group configure script options
- Fix for configfilevariables table not holding multiple entries for various variables
- Changed/added indexes on various DB tables
- Added some very basic debug file capabilities (not complete yet)
- Fix for handling (backwards) system time changes
- Fix for missing SUN_LEN definition and strtof() functions on Solaris 8 (Christian Masopust)
- Fix for segfault when importing duplicate log file entries (Hendrik Frenzel)
- Updated to support latest Nagios 3.x code (3.0b6)

So, I think Nagios3.0.X isn't supported yet. I'm having issues with ndomod for nagios 3-x installs, so I've sticked with nagios 2.11 with 1.4b7 and it works fine. Hold your migration, for a new release of the mod.

Cheers,

Hi

 

I'm having some problems getting NDOUtils running on a new Nagios installation.  I have it running fine on a Nagios 3.0rc3 installation on Ubuntu 6.06 server but I need to move to a new server.  I've gone to Nagios 3.0 on a Ubuntu 7.10 machine which is all running fine but when I can't get NDOUtils running.  I run through the installation several times to make sure I've done everything, double-checked all config files, confirmed the database and access but it won't run.  I see the following in the Nagios log:-

I've found a few threads on the internet with similar errors but not found a resolution.  I'm at a loss how to proceed with troubleshooting.

 

Thanks

Joe, maybe you can debug the problem with the debug archive of ndo2db (you
set it in the configuration file, and you also set the debug level and
verbosity). There you can even see the queries sent to the database, and the
errors they generate. I'm using Nagios 3.0 and NDO1.4b7 and I've no
problems.

Antonio

Hi

 

I?ve enabled logging and it creates the debug file but there?s nothing in it which implies to me that ndo2db is not actually doing anything at all.  I guess this ties in with the errors that imply that ndomod can?t connect to the socket.

 

I?ve checked the location of the socket in both configuration files is the same, I?ve also confirmed it exists where it should and the permissions look fine on it (the same as my other server where it works).

 

Is there anyway I can test the connection to the socket?  This is starting to get a bit beyond my Linux knowledge.

 

BTW I upgraded to 3.0.1 in case this helped but it didn?t!

 

Thanks

 

Joe

Joe, maybe you can debug the problem with the debug archive of ndo2db (you set it in the configuration file, and you also set the debug level and verbosity). There you can even see the queries sent to the database, and the errors they generate. I'm using Nagios 3.0 and NDO1.4b7 and I've no problems.

2008/4/4, Joe Precious <JoeP at protronics.co.uk>:

I've double-checked all my config files and all the important settings match yours.

 

I wonder if this is a problem when doing a fresh install on Nagios 3.0 rather than upgrading from previous versions?

I'm using nagios 3.0 (from b6 through 3.0) and ndoutils 1.4.b7 since a few months against a Solaris 8 without problem. I'm monitoring around 50 servers and 700 services.

 

Here's my configuration:

 

root at xxx # cat ndomod.cfg

instance_name=default

output_type=unixsocket

 

output=/path/to/nagios/var/ndo.sock

tcp_port=5668

debug_level=1

debug_verbosity=0

debug_file=/path/to/nagios/var/ndo.debug

Finaly, nagios.cfg contains this line:

>From NDOUtils 1.4.b7 Changelog: 

1.4b7 - 10/31/2007
-----------------
NOTE: ** Requires Nagios 2.7 or higher, or Nagios 3.0b6
- Makefile fixes for compilation flags
- Fix for bug where service check table always had same start/end time
- Added sample init script for SLES (Bruno Quintais)
- Added --with-ndo2db-user and --with-ndo2db-group configure script options
- Fix for configfilevariables table not holding multiple entries for various variables
- Changed/added indexes on various DB tables
- Added some very basic debug file capabilities (not complete yet)
- Fix for handling (backwards) system time changes
- Fix for missing SUN_LEN definition and strtof() functions on Solaris 8 (Christian Masopust)
- Fix for segfault when importing duplicate log file entries (Hendrik Frenzel)
- Updated to support latest Nagios 3.x code (3.0b6)

So, I think Nagios3.0.X isn't supported yet. I'm having issues with ndomod for nagios 3-x installs, so I've sticked with nagios 2.11 with 1.4b7 and it works fine. Hold your migration, for a new release of the mod.

Cheers,

Hi

 

I'm having some problems getting NDOUtils running on a new Nagios installation.  I have it running fine on a Nagios 3.0rc3 installation on Ubuntu 6.06 server but I need to move to a new server.  I've gone to Nagios 3.0 on a Ubuntu 7.10 machine which is all running fine but when I can't get NDOUtils running.  I run through the installation several times to make sure I've done everything, double-checked all config files, confirmed the database and access but it won't run.  I see the following in the Nagios log:-

Hello,

I have some servers that use 2 Network Cards and also have some VLAN

How can I configure nagios to check these without having to add a
seperate host for each interface, vlan.
I would like to click on the host and see all the info at once.

The way I do this is by making a custom command, called something like "check_ping_ip" which allows me to specify the IP/DNS to ping as a command argument.

Try setting the first_notification to either 1 or 2.

I've not tested this, it just seems to be logical.

Subject: Problem With Graphs in Pnp4nagios
Message-ID: <F76F46ADD6410C4BBBB7F0A6E4A331A301698EEC@PHSXMB26.partners.org>

Hi there --

 

I have installed the Pnp4nagios software onto our Nagios 2.6 system. The server
is using 

the php 5.1.6 release. As part of the installation procedure, I created an entry
in the 

serviceextinfo.cfg file shown below:

 

define serviceextinfo{

host_name               gray

service_description     Web Server Status

action_url             /nagios/pnp/index.php?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$

}

 

The service description is a copy of the same line for the host in question
within the 

services.cfg file. I ran the nagios -v nagios.cfg command to confirm there were
no errors. 

There were several other checks associated with the host, but I did not include
them in 

the serviceextinfo file. 

 

I restarted Nagios, and waited for an hour for graphs and other information to
be generated 

on-screen. So far there has not been any information appearing on the php page.
I checked the 

hostname directory under perfdata, and there are rrd and xml files being
generated. Here is a 

screenshot of what is occurring:

 

 

 

To verify that php is full operational, I installed the query.php, or Network
Query, tool into the 

base directory of the Apache server, and I was able to see and use it without a
problem. It appears 

there is a problem with php somewhere, but I am not sure where the problem lies.


 

Does anyone have an idea as to what other step(s) do I need to take? Thanks.

2008/4/4, Joe Precious <JoeP at protronics.co.uk>:

Hi

 

I've enabled logging and it creates the debug file but there's nothing in it which implies to me that ndo2db is not actually doing anything at all.  I guess this ties in with the errors that imply that ndomod can't connect to the socket.

 

I've checked the location of the socket in both configuration files is the same, I've also confirmed it exists where it should and the permissions look fine on it (the same as my other server where it works).

 

Is there anyway I can test the connection to the socket?  This is starting to get a bit beyond my Linux knowledge.

 

BTW I upgraded to 3.0.1 in case this helped but it didn't!

 

Thanks

 

Joe

That is the universal connumdrum of the nagios data structures revolving
around hosts.

If you were monitoring a router, you would indeed monitor ever
interface.

I would designate a "administrative" interface, by which you can check
the status of the other interfaces on the system using NRPE remote
checks and/or check_snmp on the interface MIBs.

There's a thousand different ways that you can do it.

Sorry I didn't see your post.  The folder my nagios mail comes too was 
corrupted when I went to send mine.  lol.

I will try what you did and see if that works.   Since I'm still in 
testing, I am more than glad to let it run like that for a longer time 
period.

I can't find reference to it now but I can't shake the nagging feeling
that I saw this in a changelog or email as a new feature of nagios-3. Is
that what you are using? Perhaps my memory hiccup will jog someone
else's...

I removed all the contact_groups options from the service definition, 
the template for that service and the template for the host.   The only 
place a contactgroup appears is in the file that defines the host.  I 
receive a warning when running a sanity check that there are no default 
contact groups defined for that service on that host.

When downing the service, no notification is sent out.  I added the 
contact_groups back to the service definition and a notification was 
sent out.  This was done just to verify that notifications were 
working.   So it appears in my case that this doesn't work :(

This is on v2.6 from the Debian etch release.

I just found this in the v3.0 upgrade notes:
Services now inherit contact groups, notification interval, and 
notification period from their associated host if not otherwise specified.

I guess I see an upgrade in my near future :|

Hmm,

OF course I've read the docs before even
thinking of posting a message.

It looks like I'm missing some logic here.

I made a normal notification that sends out only one 
mail, which I want. To accomplish this, I set the 
notification interval to '0'

So how then is the logic when for that same outage I want
an escalation 1 hour later?


Is this only possible by enabling more notification
thru the normal notification scheme?

Subject: check_snmp and negative numbers.
Message-ID: <47F66326.3050202@ots.utsystem.edu>


I'm trying to use check_snmp to look at light values on fiber 
comnnections measured in dBM. The values are negative.
When I run check_snmp on them I get positive values.

I don't mind working with positive values with warn /critical setting, 
but it would be nice to know if check_snmp will always convert negative 
to positive or if
in the future, negative values will be allowed and all my fiber 
connectios will go critical??

Thanks.

   G'day folks,

   My immediate Management have begun to take notice of the Nagios
implementation we've been running for the past two years, and now
want to use it as a "management dashboard" to identify potential
problems.  Now, whilst Nagios is a superb tool for the technician,
it's not so hot for non-technical folks who, in this case, tend
to lose control of their bodily functions when they see something
in red on a screen.

   Here's the quandry:  If we put a host into "scheduled downtime"
one would expect that the services would go into the same state,
and, in point of fact, they *do* from the standpoint of notifications;
however, in the "Tactical Overview" page, services on hosts that are
in scheduled downtime show up as "unhandled" and are in that nice
bright red colour that makes Managers go positively bats.

   Is there a way to have the "host downtime" automatically set the
services on that host for scheduled downtime as well?  I looked
through the doco, but nothing lept out at me, and I figured it'd
be easier to ask than to immediately go and hack code.

   Thanks in advance!

   Cheers.

It's not automatic, but you can set downtime for all service on a host
using external commands.  Not sure how it would be done in the GUI, or
if it can be done that way.

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=122

I have written a utility that will allow you to do it from the cmdline:

I assume, as you have said, that /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock has write
permissions for the user/group that Nagios daemon runs as.

In the file src/io.c, line 225, is the function ndo_sink_write, wich is
returning the value NDO_ERROR and causing the function ndomod_write_to_sink
in file src/ndomod.c to log the error "Error writing to data sink!" (that
same function is also the one that succesfully reconnects to data sink).

Maybe you can get more info about the problem, examining the errno variable
after the "write" call in ndo_sink_write. You can modify the line 733 in
ndomod.c for something like this:

asprintf(&temp_buffer,"ndomod: Error writing to data sink (%d - %s)!  Some
output may get lost.  %lu queued items to flush.",errno,strerror(errno),
sinkbuf.items);

The function strerror gives you a very short description of the error, and
is defined in string.h

The error codes should be defined in /usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h

If the permissions are ok (which seems to be the case due to the unix socket
being opened for writing succesfully), maybe there is a problem with ndo2db
disconnecting for some reason in the other extreme of the socket.

You can also use netstat -a to see if the ndo2db daemon is listening on the
specified socket, before and after getting up nagios.

Also, I think that the ndo2db daemon should at least log a query like
"SELECT instance_id FROM ...", which is one of the first things that ndo2db
does after connecting to the database (in ndo2db_db_hello() in src/db.c), so
maybe it's the ndo2db daemon failing to connect to database (or to listen on
the unix socket).

The function that connects to the database is ndo2db_db_connect, which sends
(un)success messages to syslog.

Well, I've no more ideas at the moment.

One last thing: does the ndo2db daemon have permission to write to

Set your notification interval to 60, and set up an escalation for the
second notification.  Your notification interval of 0 will effective
stop escalations from ever happening, since there's no second
notification to escalate.

Hello Patrick,

Aha, I start to understand it. So the notification interval a
 bit higher to 60, and the escalation on 2.

But what will happen then after the escalation, 
then after an hour (suppose the outage is still there) will
 the helpdesk be notified again?

Subject: DNX version 0.17 released! Now officially supports
	Nagios 3.x
Message-ID: <47F69494.1040303@gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that DNX version 0.17 is out the door, 
with official support for Nagios 3, including versions 3.0 and 3.0.1. 
The following fixes an enhancments are available in DNX 0.17:

- Fixed race condition and deadlock in worker cleanup code in client. 
- Added --enable-debug-heap option to configure script. 
- Added --enable-debug-locks option to configure script. 
- Added additional text to configure output to explain build process. 
- Added official support for Nagios 3.x through 3.0.1. 
- Added detailed DNX build and installation information to the INSTALL 
document. 
- Enhanced --help text in dnxstats utility.
- Enhanced logging support.
- Fixed defect in config parser for boolean type.
- Added escaped XML string code - thanks to William Leibzon.
- Enhanced Autotools build system in minor ways.
 
I'm happy to say that this version of DNX client has been up and running 
on three test nodes in our 12,000 check stage system for over 24 hours 
now, with a current total check service of over 150,000 checks. 
 
This is the most stable DNX system yet.
 
Enjoy!

Subject: Nagios 3.0 Scheduling queue not progressing
Message-ID: <91eedcbf0804041514p4d4f706cua415b4ab34d53281@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded from Nagios 2.9 to 3.0 on Solaris 10 x86.  I've
run into an issue where nothing is being checked and the scheduling
queue appears stuck.  No matter how long I let Nagios run for, the
scheduling queue always appears the same.

I've enabled debugging and it appears that services are attempting to
be checked.  However, I can find no evidence of Nagios fork()ing to
actually run the check.  Any ideas?

I had the same thing happen on a 2.10 install, the issue was epn and a service check that didnt work with epn. Not sure if that will help or not.

That depends on how you set up your escalation.  It sounds like you want
want two escalations: one from notification 1 to notification 1, and a
second from notification 2 to notification 2.

is the config for the check commands

Subject: Want to test machine if EITHER of two other machines
	is up
Message-ID: <26face530804061624x5bb56f6haf7700fc98e67aaa@mail.gmail.com>

I use vMotion to auto-move several VMs between two VM servers: vm1 and vm2.

I want to monitor these VMs if *either* of vm1 *or* vm2 is up, not
necessarily both.

Is there any easy way to do this? "parents vm1,vm2" requires both to be up.

My hack solution was to create a fake "vm-either" machine whose check
command is effectively "ping vm1 || ping vm2", and then make vm-either
the parent of all my VMs.

Is there a better way?

Subject: Nagios command-line tools
Message-ID: <26face530804061625p6c3c0224y448a2ac91d51f330@mail.gmail.com>

Nagios has a great web interface. I sometimes want the information
from that interface in command-line format for other scripts.

Does nagios have command-line tools that will:

% Return all the children/descendants of machine X.

% Return all services being tested on machine X.

% Return all services in servicegroup X.

etc...?

I realize /var/spool/nagios/objects.cache has all this info (and
status.dat even has the current status), and my current hack is to
parse that file, but is there an easier/better way to get this info?

Subject: Escalation notification time shorter than service
	check time: bug?
Message-ID: <26face530804061626w34c52557w1badbeb98d0c9a63@mail.gmail.com>

I did this:

define serviceescalation {
 servicegroup_name really-important-services
 first_notification 1
 last_notification 5
 contact_groups level1-oncall
 notification_interval 5
}

define serviceescalation {
 servicegroup_name really-important-services
 first_notification 6
 last_notification 0
 contact_groups level1-oncall,level2-oncall
 notification_interval 5
}

I wanted level1-oncall notified every 5m for 25m when one of
really-important-services went bad, and then level1-oncall and
level2-oncall notified every 5m after 30m.

However, since my service check interval is 20m, level2-oncall didn't
get notified until 6*20m or 120m later.

Nagios didn't warn me about this when I restarted it.

Is this a known bug? Intended behavior? Did I confuse nagios by using
a servicegroup instead of a single service?

If you are using NRPE, you will need to open TCP port 5666

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf

If you are using an SNMP agent on the Windows host, you will need to
open UDP 161 for SNMP GET and WALK requests.  Use SNMP v3 if it is
available for your agent.

If you want to send SNMP traps from your Windows host to Nagios, you
will need to open an ACL orginating from the Windows server and
terminating at the Nagios server on port UDP 162.  Use SNMP v3 if it
is available with the agent you are using.

if you are submitting passive checks from the Windows host to the
Nagios server using send_nsca and the NSCA daemon, you will need to
open an ACL originating from the Windows server and terminating at the
Nagios server on port TCP 5667.

Message-ID: <E34B647509ED144F860435CD5CAA8600464652@MAIL23.student.main.ntu.edu.sg>

Hi all,

I am using NSCA to do passive checks. Nagios web interface only displays the first line of the multiple-line results sent back to Nagios. 

But when i use nrpe to do active checks, all the lines are displayed.

Is it possible to configure the external commands or NSCA to allow displaying of multiple line output?

Subject: Configuring tricky escalations
Message-ID: <aea472c50804070310u16ec8367lfa84ab39ee5acf54@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, I'm using Nagios in a production environment, and I'm trying to
configure some complex setup, which I'll try to explain here :

- Munin is sending to Nagios NSCA exports to tell when a server run out of
disk space.
We have in services.cfg this configuration :
define service{
        use                                  crit-service   # this is a
service which will send us SMS notifications
        host_name                       serverOne, serverTwo
        hostgroup_name                groupofServers1, groupofServers2
        service_description             df
        max_check_attempts         1
        check_command                check_none
        active_checks_enabled       0
        }

This is a typical passive checks driven service. we also want to send
notification first to somebody, and 10 minutes later to the whole admin team
:
here is the escalation.cfg for the "df" service  and (for one of the
servers, this is repeated for each server or group of server):

define serviceescalation{
        service_description             df
        host_name                       someserver
        first_notification                 1
        last_notification                 0
        notification_interval           10
        contact_groups                 some_guy
}

define serviceescalation{
        service_description             df
        host_name                       someserver
        first_notification                 2
        last_notification                 0
        notification_interval           10
        contact_groups                 whole_admin_team
}


This is working just fine. Now the tricky part : we would like to send
notification for DF WARNINGS only during workhours, and the rest (u,c,r) in
the 24x7 period.
I tried to create more escalations, specific with "timeperiod" and
"escalation_options" but I can't make it.

Will you find the solution ? thanks in advance for your help.

Julien Dehee.

  you have to specify in the contacts or contacts group the notification
period, i.e. when *they* want to be notified.

This is all starting to get a bit too complex for me!  Anyway, I?ve managed to narrow down the problem a bit.

 

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10 Server with Nagios and NDOUtils (latest versions) and get the same problem exactly.

 

I then did a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06 Server with Nagios and NDOUtils and it works perfectly.  So there?s obviously something in Ubuntu 7.10 causing the problem.  I guess the next step would be to go through all the components and check for version differences, but I?m not really sure I can be bothered - I think I?ll just stick with Ubuntu 6.06 for now.

 

Thanks for all the help anyway!

 

Joe

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] RE : NDOUtils Problem

 

I assume, as you have said, that /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock has write permissions for the user/group that Nagios daemon runs as.

In the file src/io.c, line 225, is the function ndo_sink_write, wich is returning the value NDO_ERROR and causing the function ndomod_write_to_sink in file src/ndomod.c to log the error "Error writing to data sink!" (that same function is also the one that succesfully reconnects to data sink).

Maybe you can get more info about the problem, examining the errno variable after the "write" call in ndo_sink_write. You can modify the line 733 in ndomod.c for something like this:

asprintf(&temp_buffer,"ndomod: Error writing to data sink (%d - %s)!  Some output may get lost.  %lu queued items to flush.",errno,strerror(errno), sinkbuf.items);

The function strerror gives you a very short description of the error, and is defined in string.h

The error codes should be defined in /usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h

If the permissions are ok (which seems to be the case due to the unix socket being opened for writing succesfully), maybe there is a problem with ndo2db disconnecting for some reason in the other extreme of the socket.

You can also use netstat -a to see if the ndo2db daemon is listening on the specified socket, before and after getting up nagios.

Also, I think that the ndo2db daemon should at least log a query like "SELECT instance_id FROM ...", which is one of the first things that ndo2db does after connecting to the database (in ndo2db_db_hello() in src/db.c), so maybe it's the ndo2db daemon failing to connect to database (or to listen on the unix socket).

The function that connects to the database is ndo2db_db_connect, which sends (un)success messages to syslog.

Well, I've no more ideas at the moment.

Joe, can you please paste your ndomod.cfg and ndo2db.cfg files (without comments)?

2008/4/4, Joe Precious <JoeP at protronics.co.uk>:

Hi

 

I've enabled logging and it creates the debug file but there's nothing in it which implies to me that ndo2db is not actually doing anything at all.  I guess this ties in with the errors that imply that ndomod can't connect to the socket.

 

I've checked the location of the socket in both configuration files is the same, I've also confirmed it exists where it should and the permissions look fine on it (the same as my other server where it works).

 

Is there anyway I can test the connection to the socket?  This is starting to get a bit beyond my Linux knowledge.

 

BTW I upgraded to 3.0.1 in case this helped but it didn't!

 

Thanks

 

Joe

No input from anyone? One of the selling points to move away from proprietary solutions and towards OSS was the helpfulness of the community and mailing list. I know I don't have a 'problem' listed below that can easily be solved, but surely there are some opinions out there?

Thanks,

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows Servers - Comparing Options

For the past few years Nagios has been the most important tool for monitoring my network and Linux servers. I now have 'buy in' from the department handling the Windows Servers to at least show them how Nagios can help them to stay on top of issues, without all of the false positive alerts that they get from current tools, which can cause people to want to ignore most issues.

So, my question is, what is the best option for monitoring Windows Servers and why?
An important factor to consider is that I will probably not have Administrative access to any of the Windows Servers that I will be monitoring.

I'm currently considering three options for the reasons shown below (in order of preference):
1) WMI checks
        Pros
        -Complete control of NRPE service on 'my' Windows Server
                (Can this be distributed over two boxes?)
        -Complete control of check commands on Nagios Server
        Cons
        -NRPE service must be run from an account with access to all Windows Servers.

2) Agent checks - NRPE-NT or some other current Windows Agent
        Pros
        -???
        Cons
        -Requires an agent setup and running on every Windows Server
        -No direct control of agents/check commands

3) SNMP based checks
        Pros
        -Complete control over check commands on Nagios Server
        Cons
        -No direct control of SNMP Community Strings/ACL allowing access from Nagios
        -No direct control of SNMP service

How do you do it? Are there any other Pros & Cons that I might be missing? Do you think I should consider a process/utility not listed?

I'm open to suggestions on which agent is best, but I can probably determine this from list archives and testing. At this time I'm more interested in which high-level option would be the best fit.
Perhaps there is a good reason to use more than one of the above options, and I'm just not aware of it yet.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I am sure that this has been discussed, but I am unable to find anything
regarding it.  I want, like in disk usage graphs, to display the name for
the /usr partition as /usr instead of _user.

 

Thanks for your time in advance.

	Alright, I'll respond.  Most of the time I usually just lurk
here, most questions are usually answered quite well by others in a
relatively short time.  This is my 2 cents.  See response below amongst
your first post questions. 


>So, my question is, what is the best option for monitoring Windows
Servers and why?

Administrative access to any of the Windows Servers that I will be

order of preference):

>        Pros
>        -Complete control of NRPE service on 'my' Windows Server

	WMI provides a very thorough list of things you can check
	It's built into the OS, i.e. no install or configuration
required

>        Cons
>        -NRPE service must be run from an account with access to all
Windows Servers.
	
	WMI can fail.  From time to time we have a server with WMI
problems, we've been able to fix WMI at times, other times we've had to
rebuild the OS, in those cases you would not have any monitoring.
	WMI is used by other things as well, and is susceptible to
getting corrupted or reconfigured by something (or in our case someone)
else.  I think we've resolved most of our issues with WMI, however I
learned that if it's broken, it does not matter why you can't use it to
monitor anything until it's fixed.
	WMI requires common MS technology such as common MS network
ports and Windows (AD) user accounts for security.  This is not a
problem for the most part but increases the risk when monitoring a DMZ
for example and means your monitoring is dependant upon AD and thus
anything AD needs (like DNS), etc.  If AD or DNS goes down you've got
bigger problems than whether or not your Nagios agents are working,
however it that is how you watch everything then when they fail will you
know it?

>2) Agent checks - NRPE-NT or some other current Windows Agent
>        Pros

	Your not relying on a MS technology.  Obviously the OS has to be
available but your not dependant upon WMI or .NET or MDAC, etc.  This
may sound ironic but having your monitoring system as independent of the
system it's watching as possible the better (IMO).
	Flexibility/Extensibility.  For example the agent we use (nscp)
(found here: http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp - don't ask me about the URL
I don't know why it is what it is - it seems safe though) is very
flexible supporting both the original NSClient on the Nagios server side
or NRPE and can check pretty much anything (including, WMI, perfmon,
event logs, plus some built in checks and custom scripts).  The
documentation is not one of it's strong points, but it is very capable
and reliable.  I've struggled at times getting a particular type of
check working because I could not understand the docs.  I have not run
into any problems with it in terms of crashes or memory leaks, etc.
After about two years of using it (various versions) I can only think of
twice when it has either generated an error or stopped running and that
covers over 200 Windows boxes.  It can be installed and uninstalled
without server reboots.  It just works, I like it.  Better docs would be
nice though.  I'm not trying to sell you on this particular agent or
even agents in general, this is my experience.

>        Cons
>        -Requires an agent setup and running on every Windows Server
>        -No direct control of agents/check commands

	Some checks via an agent (like custom scripts) are not as quick
as SNMP (and probably WMI).
	
>3) SNMP based checks
>        Pros
>        -Complete control over check commands on Nagios Server

	SNMP checks are very fast
	Once configured no changes are required on the server (i.e. SNMP
does not require version upgrades, etc.)

>        Cons
>        -No direct control of SNMP Community Strings/ACL allowing
access from Nagios
>        -No direct control of SNMP service

	The values exposed via SNMP on Windows servers is limited.  You
can do basic monitoring disks, ram, cpu, etc.  But not advanced things
such as CPU user mode vs. kernel mode usage.  You can get an SNMP
extension such as SNMP-Informant (http://www.snmp-informant.com/) to
resolve this issue.
	SNMP can fail.  We have a small portion of our servers both 2000
and 2003 where SNMP service won't stay running.  We do some SNMP
monitoring but not a lot, I've not solved this one yet.

	Agent based monitoring has been the most reliable for us.  It
does require an agent install and config initially, though this has not
been a big deal for us.  Agents are also extensible, NSCP is now able to
monitor Event Logs, it could not do that when we started using it.  As a
general rule we don't rely on just one mechanism, our primary is by
agent but we also use SNMP when it makes sense.  Hope that helps.

Subject: DNX Version 0.18 Released!
Message-ID: <3ee91eb90804071457l35fc4057rf7bb87a23065a7ac@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 0.18 of the Distributed
Nagios eXecutor (DNX) project.

I sincerely apologize for the short time period between versions 0.17
and 0.18 (about 4 days!), but I felt that it was critical that the
most significant changes between these two versions be made available
to the public as soon as possible.

Besides the excellent fixes, enhancements, and changes found in 0.17,
version 0.18 also includes the following changes:

- Fixed problem where dnxClient would stop  processing jobs after a
while, thread pool bug - all threads would terminate - thanks to
Alessandro Ren, Jesse Caldwell and William Leibzon!

- Added code to fix TIME_WAIT state issues on restart.

- Added code to display the same version information from dnxstats as
from command line.

- Added code to have server return human-readable "OK" message on
dnxstats commands that didn't previously have reply text.

Currently, I believe that this release has no more major defects
(obviously this belief is subject to change). We on the DNX project
team fully intend to continue adding functionality, both to meet our
original design goals, and to add features requested on the dnx-devel
and dnx-users mailing lists. Nevertheless, we feel this is the most
stable DNX release to date.

http://dnx.sourceforge.net
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/dnx

Please download and enjoy!

John

LOL, everyone seems to mention this lately, well, here is my official 
apology to anyone who has taken offense for the domain name *SORRY*
Anyways, try: http://NSCLIENT.ORG, http://nsclient.com or 
http://nsclient.net hopefully these are "better" (if anyone want to know 
the reason for using the old one there is a post on the forum about it 
http://nsclient.org/nscp/discussion/2/120 )

The preferable domain is nsclient.ORG but since go-daddy was so damn 
cheep (anyone know why? I pay 10 times as much for my "previous 
domains") I got the others when I was at it...

And if any apache2 configure gurus knows how to combine location (I use 
a location with mod python inside it to "call trac") and mod_rewrite let 
me know cause I would have preferred to drop the "trailing /nscp" but 
alas apache was giving me attitude...

*** 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

Thank you ! I was stuck in the escalation oriented mindset, of course it
works with adding more specific contacts.

Subject: Too stupid? Services are available,
	but nagios reports host to be down!
Message-ID: <20080408105001.GK21241@schlittermann.de>

Hello,

(using 3.0.1)

I've a list of hosts, these hosts are not available for ping, but normal
service checks (SSH, SMTP, ...) work. Nagios reports theses hosts beeing
down! Ugly!

If I remember well, older nagios versions "knew" that's enough to see
one service on a host to know this host has to be up.

The host check_command is the normale 'check-host-alive' (which is
pinging), the check_interval is 0 -- why does nagios want to check that
host?

The check_command is inherited from some template, if I try to override
it with no value, nagios complains: 

Error: Host check command '(null)' specified for host 'diwi/diw' is not defined anywhere


So - please, could anybody point to my stupidity?

Thanks.

Thank you for your response.

But - a bogus check returning "OK" would be wrong too, because the host
*can* be down.

The host should assumed to be UP if *any* service check on this host was
successful. The host should assumed to be DOWN, if all service checks
failed.

Any suggestion anybody?

That one would be non-trivial, but perhaps the check command could read  
current status for the host and only do test if there are no services  
currently in OK state? Otherwise it would return the host is UP.

That's it. Is there any easy to access interface where I can read the
status of service checks of the host in question?

Using the check_cluster(2) plugin for your host check perhaps? I don't
use the plugin myself but the concepts are the same...

Message-ID: <D5246EACDD83DB4DBE5DB17D613586A80268B0DA@irvxchg002.healthvision.com>

                I have nagios 3.01 and the latest version of ndoutils,
nagvis and pnp4nagios installed on redhat 5.1.  Everything runs on the
same  server including  mysql . After a restart of nagios  everything
runs  fine  for about  5  minutes then I get the dreaded message "NDO
claims that nagios did no status Update for more than 180 seconds. Make
sure that nagios and ndo2db are running".  The only way to get it back
and running  is do rm   /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock and then restart
and  again it works for about 5 minutes. I have double and triple  check
the config files in ndoutils, but I fear the issue is actually in nagios
itself, because if I tail /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log I see a bunch
stale service checks being  queued up.

 

                Any help would be greatly appreciated

To a degree, yes- if you aren't actively checking the host (as would  
appear to be the case from your next paragraph), then as long as all  
services  on the host are listed as ok, nagios assumes the host is  
still ok (at least once running, I don't know how it behaves on the  
initial check). However, should any of the services go into a non-ok  
state, nagios will immediately check the host (using the host  
check_command), wherupon, in your case, it would determine the host to  
be down since it can't ping. The state of the other services does not  
affect this process, so any other services do not change state.

Because at some point one or more of the services went into a non-ok  
state.

Yep- you can't have no value in the check_command directive. If you  
just want to assume the host is up all the time, you can use the  
check_dummy plugin (after defining a check_dummy command in your  
checkcommands.cfg, naturally). Otherwise you'll need to figure out  
some check Nagios can perform to determine if the host is running,  
even if that check is just checking one of the services again or  
something.

No replies? Am I the only one who wants to use a graphical network

Subject: nagios to monitor several switch ports
Message-ID: <057d01c899aa$b2bdc390$18394ab0$@ca>

I would like to have Nagios alert on the status of individual switch ports -
link up/down, traffic, etc. Is there a way to do this other than creating a
separate host or service for each port. There are 1000's of ports on our
network and this doesn't seem practical.

 

What I would like is for a host switch to show as "warning" (or "critical")
if one or more switch port is down / exceeding a traffic limit and showing
"ok" only if ALL ports are up, etc.

What kind of switches do you have?
I don't know if there is a plugin for such a test, but I think it can easily 
be written using SNMP and a scriptinglanguage of your choice.

Even if I don't understand why you want to monitor that, SNMP is your friend 
here. You just need the according MIB according to your switch.

Message-ID: <059401c899af$12837230$378a5690$@ca>

We have Nortel switches. Just to complicate things further, I am using RMON snmp traps to alert Nagios when an event occurs on one of the switches (i.e. broadcast packets exceed a certain threshold). 

A summary of my setup:

- when a certain threshold is exceeded, the port will trigger an alarm and send an snmp trap to our management server 

- snmptrapd (a net-snmp daemon) is running on the management server and receives the trap and passes it to my Perl "trap-handler" script

- the "trap-handler" script translates the snmp trap and updates Nagios according (through a passive check)

The problem is, for example, say 3 ports go down on a single switch and only one comes back up, this "clears" the service alert in Nagios even though 2 ports are still down. One was around this would be to have a service for each port but as I mentioned previously, I'm hoping to figure out another way to do it.

(I hope I explained that well enough but I'm sure I lost a lot of you ....)

I think that the reason this kind of thing doesn't exist is that it's
more practical to do it on the server.
I.E. monitor the network status and traffic from your server's point of
view.
It's more practical because it's easier to maintain a list of your
servers than to keep Nagios configured to know which switch ports should
be active.
Also set up the switch (should be the default) to send link up/down
traps and have Nagios watch for them so you can quickly correlate your
server network status and know if the switch is the problem when the
server alarms.

That's an interesting detail: if ANY of the service checks fails, a host
scheck is scheduled.

This would explain why the host check takes place and fails (if it's
using "ping").

But - my question here, why is *any* failing service a trigger of a host
check? Shouldn't be the failure of *all* services this trigger?

Subject: stability of ndoutils-1.4b7 (ndomod and ndo2db)?
Message-ID: <b1ca9c2e0804081248h6606d23cv9c4f2d56567b20e1@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, I've just started using ndomod and ndo2db on a development server to
have status checks logged to a MySQL database instead of flat files.  I am
using Nagios v. 2.10 on the development server, v. 2.7 on the production
server.  The one on production can probably be upgraded to 2.10?

Anyway, the readme file in the ndoutils-1.4b7 says:

This code is still an alpha/beta quality, so expect problems if you intend

However, I see from the SourceForge site that this code hasn't been changed
since 10/31/2007.  Is this add-on relatively stable?  Are other folks using
it in production?  Is there anything in particular I should be aware of?

Thanks!

For logging nagios status to mysql, one could also use the import-script
fom NagiosDigger: http://www.vanheusden.com/nagiosdigger/ (yes I wrote
that).

This is so that if the outage of a service is caused by the host being
down, you are notified that the host is down, and not the service.

If Nagios waited for every service to fail first, you'd get a lot of
alerts you probably don't want.

Service A gets checked every 5 minutes.
Service B gets checked once a day.

Do you _really_ want to wait to know if the host is down until Service B
is checked and fails?

The problem you're experiencing is an artifact of your configuration
methodology. If you don't want hosts checked, ever, do not specify a
host check_command (i.e. leave the entire line out). The fact that you
have it included in a template applied to the host is why it's being
checked. Use a template that doesn't specify a host check_command.

I was hoping for an answer on this one myself.  I am also running
distributed servers, but would like to start taking advantage of long
host/service output.  I had heard from somewhere a few months back that
while Nagios and NRPE support long host output, NSCA still does not.
 
Is this still correct?  Are there plans to get this fixed?
 
Thanks
 
Mark

	Hi all,
	
	I am using NSCA to do passive checks. Nagios web interface only
displays the first line of the multiple-line results sent back to
Nagios.
	
	But when i use nrpe to do active checks, all the lines are
displayed.
	
	Is it possible to configure the external commands or NSCA to
allow displaying of multiple line output?

Well. If a service goes missing it might very well be an issue with the
host or even further up the line. So The first thing to do is see if the
host is still there. Then if the host is still there other service
checks will go on. But if the host is down there is little point in
sending out alerts on other missing services untill you got them all
only to report a down host there.

By doing an immediate host check you only have to send a host down
notification and be done with it if the host is down.

Sorry to drop-in (and maybe saying something stupid) but as far as i
know the host may be down if it stopped responding to ping but still
responds to service-checks.

I do not think you want to know too much about individual switch ports.
Why would nagios go ape everytime I reboot my laptop? I would monitor
the hosts behind the switch ports that you care about.

Perhaps trigger alerts on real odd errors on your switch. But trying to
monitor it all will outweight the little benefits you might gain in
effort and needless alerts.

?? How. Or I'm stupid? How should the host respond to service checks
if it's down and doesn't respond to ping therefore?

It happens.  For example, I have two switches in a strange state that I
can't ping, but otherwise work fine.

That's beside the point, though... Under normal circumstances, Nagios
will assume that, if your host check fails, all your services should be
considered broken, too.  That's why a host check should always be
designed in a way that if failways always, and only, if a host should be
considered down.

On our system, we too have a small subset of hosts which cannot be
pinged.  However, they can be SSH'ed.  So, I defined a new test,
check-host-alive-ssh which used an SSH connection rather than a ping,
and define this as the host_check_command for the hosts in question.
This allows Nagios to continue to work as expected.

Have you tried the old nsclient from http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/  ?  It has WinNT binaries as well as Win2000 and XP, and provides a subset of the ++ version.  I use it a lot and its pretty reliable.

The normal check_host_alive command is ping, but it might not work for some hosts like firewalls, etc.  For these hosts use NMAP to scan for an open TCP port on the host (ssh or http ports are frequently open), then create a check_host_alive2 that does a check_tcp to that known open port, and override the default check_host_alive for the hosts in question, or create a new group for these hosts and use the new check_host_alive2 command.

Not sure if it's available in 3.x (we're still happily using 2.x here!)
however we use ssh as our check-host-alive command for the reasons
that you've listed above (we block most if not all ICMP traffic to
our hosts unless it's specifically required.). A connection is
initialised via ssh and if that works, the host is deemed to be up.

We also use NRPE to check that sshd is running so if the host appears
as down however the all the services apart from sshd are up, we know
that it is most likely an issue with sshd, not the server.

Hope this helps,

Matt

Yep. Thank you. This possibility I know, I was just irritated from/by
(?) the logic behind the host checks. But thanks to all answers now I
understand the reason for triggering a host check as soon as *any*
service fails. (That doesn't mean that I agree with this logic, but I
understand it ;-))

Message-ID: <20080409083118.GI21241@schlittermann.de>

Hello,

the summary to my question:

Q: A host checks gets triggered as soon as any service fails?

   (My host check (ping) doesn't work, because the hosts are not
   pingable and I supposed to see the host "UP" as long as any
   services works, so normally no reason for pinging.)


A: Nagios consideres any failing service as a problem and behaves like
   human being would do: it doesn't check all the other services, it
   justs checks if the host itself is up. If the failure reason is
   a dead host, it will detect host outage immediatly fast w/o
   complaining about all the other services failing.

   (If nagios would wait with the host check until all services failed
   it can take a long time (e.g. if some service is checked with a long
   check_interval only)).


   Conclusion: You should define a working host check, you can "abuse"
   some of the service checks, at least (in my case) you can "ping" the
   ssh port or something similar. As a last ressort you may disable the
   host check with having no check_command for that host (but beware:
   once it is set in some template, you can't "reset" it!). Some other
   last ressort could be defining a fake test as check command.

   If it's really intended to trigger the host check if *all* services
   failed, you'll need to have a host check command which checks for
   that condition, one proposal was to use the check_cluster plugin.

Thanks for the help

    Best regards from Dresden

   Technically speaking, all a "ping" tells one these days is that
the path to the host is operational, not necessarily that the host
itself is alive.  I've seen plenty of hosts that have completely
and totally wedged up happily respond to an ICMP ping because the
responsibility for that has been devolved to the NIC.  So, what one
winds up with is a host that's reported as "UP", when in fact all the
services are deader than doornails.

  The anoying thing with the way Nagios handles things in this
regard is if a ping doesn't work (and lots of sites block ICMP
echo requests as part of a "security through obscurity" scheme)
one winds up with a "DOWN" host and lots of "UP" services.  But,
as has been alluded to, getting the logic right can be problematic.
There may be no "right" answer.

If your normal nagios installation is at http://foo.com/nagios/ the base
is /nagios/nagvis. If it's at http://foo.com/mynagios, base is
/mynagios/nagvis. If you've set up Apache to make http://foo.com/ the
place to go to for the nagios web client, your htmlbase is /nagvis
 
It's the absolute URL of the nagvis, which is a subdirectory off your
normal nagios web client.

Subject: ndo2db -- lots of empty tables
Message-ID: <b1ca9c2e0804090934s1c6ff788u50e9292ac8c94d84@mail.gmail.com>

Hello again.  So I've got the ndo2db module installed and working, but now I
have some questions.

The results of my service checks are being logged to the
nagios_servicechecks table, which is very cool.  However, I have a bunch of
tables in the nagios database which are not populated.  I won't list them
all, but I'm most interested in nagios_hosts and nagios_services.

What's interesting is that hosts and services seem to be stored together in
the nagios_objects table.  Hosts are stored with an objecttype_id of 1, with
the hostname stored in name1.  Services are stored with an objecttype_id of
2, with the hostname stored in name1 and the command stored in name2.  Also
worth noting is that the nagios_servicechecks table never refers to columns
from the nagios_hosts and nagios_services; instead it refers to the object
ids.

So I guess those are mostly observations, not questions...  Some questions
then:

   - Did I do something wrong/different during the install process, or
   are these tables empty by default for everyone else?
   - Say I want to monitor a new host, should I edit my config files as
   in the past or add the information to the database?  If I add it to the
   database, should I use the nagios_objects table or mess with the
   nagios_hosts and nagios_services tables?
   - Does anyone know what all of the objecttype_id codes mean?  So far I
   have 1 (hosts), 2 (services), 9, 10, and 12.
   - Why are those tables there if they are not being used?

I may think of more questions later; these are the ones that immediately
popped into my head.

Thanks,
-Frank

PS: I have not seen much documentation about ndo2db.  If anyone has a good
resource, please share!

Still pretty new.  Don't think the open source community has caught up
yet.

My programming skills are lacking the abilities so I'm stuck with v2.11.

Subject: trends.cgi strange problem
Message-ID: <fa1469130804091332p13842eedtc2a9e7cc4b5a70bd@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I was trying to generate some reports using trends.cgi and have found a problem.

If I change the "end date" to something before "today" the cgi gives
me a wrong report, showing an "always up" report, which is not true.

I can change the start date to whatever I want, and the problem don't
show up. I can also modify the hours, minutes, or seconds on the end
date and the report shows real data. The problem only happends when
the end date is changed to something diferent (on day, month or year)
then the today date.

Ex.:
If I want to get a report right now, I can go to trends.cgi and set
the end date to something like 04/09/2008 00:01, but cannot set the
end date to something like 04/08/2008 23:59.

Has anyone see this problem before?

I have checked on avail.cgi and noticed that the data show is
"Insufficient Data" and not Host Up data. Why is this happening? What
must I do to get the reports to work correctly...

thanks,

Actually Fruity is now called Lilac.  It wasn't a publicity stunt, there
is some history there that stalled developement.  It is being actively
developed.  Nagios 3 support is in the works now that 3.0 is out.

Hi,
Have you tested with check_cluster? I think it is what you want.
Here is the link in the docs:

Subject: Event_handler and check_nrpe
Message-ID: <47FCE5D2.D17E.000E.0@CHOC.ORG>

I am trying to use an event_handler to reatrt a process on a remote server. I use NRPE for this purpose.
The process works fine when I run the full check_nrpe command from the command line of the Nagios server:
 
#./check_nrpe -H nnn.nn.nnn.nn -c restart_alert_agent_new -a CRITICAL SOFT 2
However, the restart script on the remote server does not kick in when the alert is encountered by Nagios itself. Below is the command defined in misccommands.cfg:
 
define command{
      command_name    restart_alert_agent_new
      command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c restart_alert_agent_new -a $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
      }
 
As mentioned, the restart script in the remote server works fine when invoked through the command line on Nagios server (above).
Below is the definition of the service in services.cfg:
 
# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service ; Name of service template to use
 
        host_name                       CHOCLX-INTTEST

        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              4
        normal_check_interval           5

I use NagiosQL from the Nagiosexchange site and it is pretty good  I don't know the status of it it in combination with Nagios V3, nor have I looked deeply into v3 yet, but if the config files are upwardly compatible, then it should be fine.

Hi,

 

I am trying to monitor an oracle server using nagios and am using a Perl
script check_oracle_generic.

 

I am new to nagios and hence have a very limited knowledge of it 

 

In my commands.cfg file I have defined a commnad as follows:

 

 

define command{

        command_name    check_oracle_generic

        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_generic
-SID $ARG1$ -dbuser $ARG2$ -dbpassword $ARG3$ -w $ARG4$ -c $ARG5$ -q
$ARG6$

        }

 

 

Also in the service definition its defined as 

 

 

define service{

        use                             local-service

        host_name                   IRIMS_Linux

        service_description        oracle session

        check_command           check_oracle_generic -SID test2 -dbuser
system -dbpassword manager -c 12 -w 18 -q \"select count(*) from
v$session where username in not null\"

        contact_groups             linuxadmin

        }

 

 

However when I m checking my nagios configuration I am getting the
following error

 

Error: Service check command 'check_oracle_generic -SID test2 -dbuser
system -dbpassword manager -c 12 -w 18 -q \"select count(*) from
v$session where username in not null\"' specified in service 'oracle
session' for host 'IRIMS_Linux' not defined anywhere!

 

 

Also the file in the location   /usr/local/nagios/libexec  is an
executable file.

 

Also is there any alternate method to monitor an oracle server using
nagios.

 

 

 

Warm Regards,

Neha Sinha

v$session where username in not null

 

and your command definition should have 

 

command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_generic -SID
'$ARG1$' -dbuser '$ARG2$' -dbpassword '$ARG3$' -w "$ARG4$" -c "$ARG5$"
-q '$ARG6$'

 

Re-read the documentation on how to define and use check commands.

Subject: [Nagios-users] help required- oracle monitoring using nagios

 

Hi,

 

I am trying to monitor an oracle server using nagios and am using a Perl
script check_oracle_generic.

 

I am new to nagios and hence have a very limited knowledge of it 

 

In my commands.cfg file I have defined a commnad as follows:

 

 

define command{

        command_name    check_oracle_generic

        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle_generic
-SID $ARG1$ -dbuser $ARG2$ -dbpassword $ARG3$ -w $ARG4$ -c $ARG5$ -q
$ARG6$

        }

 

 

Also in the service definition its defined as 

 

 

define service{

        use                             local-service

        host_name                   IRIMS_Linux

        service_description        oracle session

        check_command           check_oracle_generic -SID test2 -dbuser
system -dbpassword manager -c 12 -w 18 -q \"select count(*) from
v$session where username in not null\"

        contact_groups             linuxadmin

        }

 

 

However when I m checking my nagios configuration I am getting the
following error

 

Error: Service check command 'check_oracle_generic -SID test2 -dbuser
system -dbpassword manager -c 12 -w 18 -q \"select count(*) from
v$session where username in not null\"' specified in service 'oracle
session' for host 'IRIMS_Linux' not defined anywhere!

 

 

Also the file in the location   /usr/local/nagios/libexec  is an
executable file.

 

Also is there any alternate method to monitor an oracle server using
nagios.

 

 

 

Warm Regards,

Neha Sinha

Maybe try http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplugincol/
-> * check_service
    Make sure all automatic services are running. Or if special
    services are specified, this script checks if they are running.

You have to install NRPE, too.

Hi 

I am new to nagios !
 I have added my first windows machine as stated below , now i want to add 
more machines , so do i need to add one more windows.cfg file with new 
host definations or simply add hostname in present file windows.cfg 
seperated by comma , 
like 
host_name            server1,server2,

This might seem a very stupid questions to many but still as i am new to 
this, so  i need some help.

Add a new host definition for the Windows machine that you're going to 
monitor. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can 
simply modify the sample host definition in windows.cfg. Change the 
host_name, alias, and address fields to appropriate values for the Windows 
box. 
define host{
                 use                             windows-server          ; 
Inherit default values from a Windows server template (make sure you keep 
this line!)
                 host_name                               winserver
                 alias                           My Windows Server
                 address                                 192.168.1.2
                 }

Good. Now you can add some service definitions (to the same configuration 
file) in order to tell Nagios to monitor different aspects of the Windows 
machine. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can 
simply modify the sample service definitions in windows.cfg.

The comma-Solution doesnt't work.

When I had "my first nagios-day", I ran into the exactly same issue.

I monitor two linux-servers which looks like this:

define host{
         use  linux-server
         host_name       OpenVPN1
         alias           OpenVPN-Server Nr1
         address         ovpn1.somedomain.de
         }

define host{
         use  linux-server
         host_name       OpenVPN2
         alias           OpenVPN-Server Nr2
         address         ovpn2.somedomain.de
         }


(The template that comes with nagios is beeing used).
Hope this helps a little.

greetz, marcus

(By the way, Pallav, a subject with just "help" and several 
exclamation-marks is not appropriate for a sophisticated mailing-list 
like this.)

Hi Everyone

 

            I need some assistance regarding a remote host issue please.

 

            We have a remote host away from the office that is supposed
to be monitored by our Nagios system.

 

            We can ping the server from the Nagios server and Nagios
shows the server as being up.

 

            Even though the Windows agent is installed and confirmed as
working, the services keeps displaying 'Critical - Socket timeout after
10 seconds'

 

            Does anybody know why these does not want to connect /. Work
properly?

 

 

Machiel

is there a firewall running on the windows machine? What kind of services do 
you want to monitor? Are the services running? Do the services need some 
special authentification (SNMP?)?

Hi

   I have just confirmed, and there is no firewall running on the machine.

	We are trying to simply monitor the pop3 and SMTP service that it is running as this is a mail server.

Regards

Both tests have the same errormessage? 

I tested here and the default check_pop command failed with the same error as 
you have. 
Our POP-Servers are using a SSL connection and refuse everything else. The 
check_pop plugin has the option -S or --ssl for an SSL-connection to the 
server. After setting this I got an OK from the plugin. Maybe this is the 
same on your side and maybe a similar problem with the SMTP-check?

I am using Monarch with v3. It doesn't officially support it, but with
some stunts, you can make it work - that is if you do not mind to miss
out the new features of v3 with custom attributes and such.

Hi All,

Has anyone done any monitoring of 3tera Applogic servers/grids? I'm
looking for a plugin to list grid members, servers states, etc.

It may be possible to construct this with host dependancies and service
dependancies but id rather have a plugin if there is one around.

If not I suppose I'd better attempt to write one. 

Regards

Tom

                 check_command check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90

To monitor 30 servers i need to add 30 lines.or is there any way that we 
monitors number of services in all hosts.

When I had "my first nagios-day", I ran into the exactly same issue.

I monitor two linux-servers which looks like this:

define host{
         use  linux-server
         host_name       OpenVPN1
         alias           OpenVPN-Server Nr1
         address         ovpn1.somedomain.de
         }

define host{
         use  linux-server
         host_name       OpenVPN2
         alias           OpenVPN-Server Nr2
         address         ovpn2.somedomain.de
         }


(The template that comes with nagios is beeing used).
Hope this helps a little.

Hi Pallav,
 
Provided you have setup your 30 hosts in your hosts.cfg or what ever
file then all you need to do to define the service is as i show below.
 
 
define service{
                use
generic-service
                host_name
winserver1,winserver2,winserver3,..........winserver30
                service_description                              Memory
Usage
                check_command
check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90

 
Regards
 
Tom

Subject: Nagios : want to monitor second hdd in server
Message-ID: <OFBA4605F7.A67F89CE-ON65257427.003A89C2-65257427.003C2DFC@relianceada.com>

Dear All

I want to monitor the second HDD drive ie E drive in nagios , I am able to 
get details of C drive .

I have added the service like shown below but it doesn't help.

define service{
                 use generic-service
                 host_name winserver1
                 service_description                                     
E:\ Drive Space
                 check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
                 }

define service{
                 use generic-service
                 host_name winserver1
                 service_description C:\ Drive Space
                 check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
                 }

 
check_nt -H host -v variable [-p port] [-w warning] [-c critical][-l 
params] [-d SHOWALL] [-t timeout]

So where to put the parameters to measure the E drive space .

Not trying to be rude, but did you bother to read the documentation at 
all?
From your questions to the list, I get the impression that you did not.

check_nt --help should tell you, that the "-l" switch is used to
supply the driveletter to check. The "alias" directive in the nagios
config is just for pure cosmetics, it has no actual meaning for nagios
itself, it's like a comment field for the host.
So you need to change the commandline of your second servicedefinition
from "... -l C ...." to ".... -l E ...."

Sacrilege! ;-)

Unix Config + revision control rule.

Also, it'll hinder you getting very far if you can't handle the config 
of Nagios. The real power comes in the plugins and the customization for 
which you're better off knowing how to actually configure Nagios.

There's also a check_blackberry plugin on nagiosexchange that appears  
to be fairly comprehensive...

Uptime is a funny thing, it can go to zero for a number of reasons,
usually because a 32 bit counter has rolled over (after 136 years, 68
years, 500 days, 250 days, 49.7 days (win98 just stalled at this point),
or 25 days.

You can sometimes monitor the SNMP OID "htSystemUptime", which appears
on my linux, solaris and windows 2000 boxes. When this value decreases
to nearly 0, you've had a reboot, or the counter has rotated.

This value is probably the same value reported by "uptime" on a linux or
windows box. If you want to know when your system is available, you
could set a "check_ping" *service* on thie host, in nagios, running
every 30 seconds with retrys every 5 seconds. If the service goes away,
then there's a good chance it's rebooted itself.

If you suspect a reboot, look through the logs. In linux, run "last",
you should see a "reboot" user if the system has rebooted. In windows
check the Security or Applications logs from the suspected reboot time.

Perhaps you had a power failure which caused your box to reboot?

Careful.

Whilst I agree in principle with your response there are circumstances
where a GUI tool is definitely a useful thing!  Let me quantify this
with an example.

Whilst another enginner and I manage the nagios configuration, the
on-call engineers who receive the alerts need the facility to manage who
receives the alerts and when.  Therefore they need to be able to access
the contacts configuration file.  I do not want to have to train them in
linux/vim|nano/ssh/nagios config file formats/nagios process management,
just so they can decide who should receive text messages out of hours.

As such an easy to use website would be a boon for us.  We are in the
process of implementing such a system internally, specifically
targetting Nagios v3 for this very reason.

Cheers,

Gareth.

windows.cfg is for all hosts and services for windows boxes
that host definition can be copied and pasted for each host you add;
just change the host name and address for each box
take a look at the documentation for all available options; those listed
below are only the base sample

Hi 

I am new to nagios !
 I have added my first windows machine as stated below , now i want to
add more machines , so do i need to add one more windows.cfg file with
new host definations or simply add hostname in present file windows.cfg
seperated by comma , 
like 
host_name            server1,server2,

This might seem a very stupid questions to many but still as i am new to
this, so  i need some help.

Add a new host
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host>
definition for the Windows machine that you're going to monitor. If this
is the *first* Windows machine you're monitoring, you can simply modify
the sample host definition in windows.cfg. Change the host_name, alias,
and address fields to appropriate values for the Windows box. 

define host{
                use                                  windows-server
; Inherit default values from a Windows server template (make sure you
keep this line!)
                host_name                                  winserver
                alias                                  My Windows Server
                address                                  192.168.1.2
                }


Good. Now you can add some service definitions (to the same
configuration file) in order to tell Nagios to monitor different aspects
of the Windows machine. If this is the *first* Windows machine you're
monitoring, you can simply modify the sample service definitions in
windows.cfg.

Here I would have to agree.  I use the GUI a LOT to do my basic
configuration and speed things along but you need to understand the
files and how they interact to get the most bang for your buck.  I'm
writing some simple plugins to alert us on issues with our evironmentals
now that the new CRAC units, etc that we purchased are now SNMP
manageable.  There's not a lot out there so taking a simple "noc
operator's" stance to configuring Nagios isn't sufficient.

Sacrilege! ;-)

Unix Config + revision control rule.

Also, it'll hinder you getting very far if you can't handle the config 
of Nagios. The real power comes in the plugins and the customization for

which you're better off knowing how to actually configure Nagios.

I don't know if it that particular issue has been addressed but the nagios 2 series is up to version 2.11. You could try upgrading as it does fix a number of bugs in the CGIs relating to status and dates, so it could fix it.

I hate to state the obvious, but nrpe usually doesn't have privileges to
start processes. I have a check that I run on remote hosts that requires
root privilege and had to use sudo. I was very restrictive in my sudoers
file to make sure that there were no holes, but it works with no
problems.

	Subject: [Nagios-users] Event_handler and check_nrpe
	
	
	I am trying to use an event_handler to reatrt a process on a
remote server. I use NRPE for this purpose.
	The process works fine when I run the full check_nrpe command
from the command line of the Nagios server:
	 
	#./check_nrpe -H nnn.nn.nnn.nn -c restart_alert_agent_new -a
CRITICAL SOFT 2
	
	However, the restart script on the remote server does not kick
in when the alert is encountered by Nagios itself. Below is the command
defined in misccommands.cfg:
	 
	define command{
	      command_name    restart_alert_agent_new
	      command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -c restart_alert_agent_new -a $SERVICESTATE$
$SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
	      }
	 
	As mentioned, the restart script in the remote server works fine
when invoked through the command line on Nagios server (above).
	Below is the definition of the service in services.cfg:
	 
	# Service definition
	define service{
	        use                             generic-service ; Name

	        service_description             check_total_procs
	        is_volatile                     0
	        check_period                    24x7

	        normal_check_interval           5
	        retry_check_interval            2
	        event_handler_enabled           1
	        event_handler                   restart_alert_agent_new
	        contact_groups
sun-admins,lawson-admins,egate-admins
	        notification_interval           240
	        notification_period             24x7
	        notification_options            u,c

Sorry to bump the thread, but I'm still struggling with these tables.
Surely others are using the ndo2db module!

If  I manually runnagios check_ping like ./nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 175.160..75.x -w 100.0,20%-c 500.0,60% -p 5
 
 It respond with ?PINGOK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.51 ms? 
 
 
But nagios is still showing service as ?Critical? 
 
Like
 
                                 PING
                   
                                  
                   
    
           
      CRITICAL
      10-04-2008 10:05:20
      0d 23h 20m 23s
      1/3
      CRITICAL 
    
 
I have stopped and started nagios but this has not help
 
Can you help? Please.

Subject: How to start/stop a windows service using nagios
Message-ID: <879d1e490804101039t3cb2f422w5f9ee55f6641ada8@mail.gmail.com>

I have nagios 2.3 server installed on a RedHat Linux.

I have NC_Net and nagios event_log agents installed on various windows
clinets.

I want nagios to re-start a windows service based on an application Event
Log messages.

How do I do it?

Thanks.

There might be more than one way to do this, but my
experience/suggestion would be to
 
1) setup an event to act when the service goes critical.  See the Nagios
docs about how to write a simple event script.  Mostly you're making
sure that you'll only attempt to start the service on HARD/CRITICAL
events.
 
2) I'm not too familiar with NC_NET, but I believe it's not dissimilar
from NSClient++ or other NRPE agents in that it can accept NRPE protocol
requests.  You'd define an NRPE command (say "start_service") that run
"net start $ARG1$" where $ARG1$ is the name of the service to start.
It's possible that NC_NET has some built-in capability to manage
services too without resorting to an actual NRPE command.
 
3) Your script from #1 would then run
 
check_nrpe -H <hostname> -c start_service\!<servicename>
 
to start a service.  Stopping is similar, of course.

Subject: Nagios 3 external commands problem
Message-ID: <A863EEAD-3084-4137-9696-FFC2DDA093C6@frontierflying.com>

I apologize for asking what I had thought was a FAQ, but I can't seem  
to find the needed info now. At any rate, I just got finished updating  
my nagios install to version 3 (OpenBSD 4.2 OS), and aside from the  
lack of a decent status map (no one has any suggestions there?  
Really?) it's working. With the exception of external commands from  
the web interface. For some reason, whenever I attempt an external  
command from the web, I get the following error:

Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.
Read the section of the documentation that deals with authentication  
and authorization in the CGIs for more information.
Return from whence you came

I have the following in my cgi.cfg file:

authorized_for_configuration_information=admin
authorized_for_system_commands=*

I actually don't want the "*" there,  but I stuck it in just to see if  
it fixed the issue. It didn't. I am authorized to the web server, as I  
got the login/password prompt, and nagios recognizes the fact in the  
little header on every page that says "logged in as". The /var/nagios/ 
rw/nagios.cmd file exists with permissions prw-rw----  1 _nagios  www,  
and my apache error logs show no errors when attempting to run the  
command. What am I missing? Thanks!

Subject: change management or source control for Nagios
	configs?
Message-ID: <E30DC1CCEA713E449C28D314E007D21B012154C1@PEPWMV00041.corp.pep.pvt>


I'm wondering what most people out there use for change management of
Nagios config files.  I had been using BZR (bazaar-ng) for a while, but
when I refreshed my servers it was a bit of a pain and haven't put it
there yet.  I've tried to read about other ways to do this (RCS, SVN,
etc), but they all seem so strongly oriented towards source-code
projects that it's kind of confusing to run them with just config files.

Some of these methods are complicated by the fact that they want to make
their archive directory inside Nagios' directory structure.  This gets
kind of weird as I use nagios.cfg directives to tell it to recursively
read directories rather than just specifically named files.  BZR worked
OK in this regard as it's dir was ".bzr" and was never picked up by
Nagios.

Ultimately, I'm trying to provide myself with the ability to track
changes and potentially roll them back.  Is anyone else out there using
some wonderful solution to this?

Thanks

Mark

Can't say I can be a lot of help with the status map.  I never found it
to be workable in any form, so I just don't use it.

When I look at my own id in cgi.cfg, I'm listed in

authorized_for_system_information=
authorized_for_configuration_information=
authorized_for_system_commands=
authorized_for_all_hosts=
authorized_for_all_services=
authorized_for_all_service_commands=
authorized_for_all_host_commands=

and I have no problems doing anything (but I should have all these
rights anyway).  I've never heard that you could use a wildcard for
these fields.

Check your setting of 'config_output_options' in the ndomod.cfg file -  
it may be incorrectly set for the information you want.

Check your setting of 'data_processing_options' in the ndomod.cfg file.

Nagios only writes to the ndo database, it doesn't read from it.

The PDF may help with this (link below).  If you feel it is lacking in  
information I am sure Ethan will accept updates.

Subject: How to sync LDAP users in Nagios 2.x?
Message-ID: <38CACA4CD5ECBA4CBF702415B0A995F002C69501@s-cm-exchange1.coremobility.local>

Hi,

 

We have two Nagios one is version 1.x and the other one is version 2.9
and both use LDAP to login.

I just setup a new Nagios version 2.11 and it won't work for LDAP.

Here are the files that I checked:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf

/etc/httpd/conf.d/authz_ldap.conf

 

/usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg -->

I checked every single Authentication settings but each setting Is the
same as my previous servers.

I don't know if I have missed anything in this file or I have to mess
around other files.

 

/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

 

But I login as my LDAP users and the browser told me I am not an
authorized user as below???

 

It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for
any of the services you requested...

If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.

 

Please help!

First, it doesn't matter which version of Nagios you use, since Nagios
doesn't handle authentication.  Howver, you haven't said anything about
what may be different in the two webserver versions, and that's what's
important.

Since you haven't provided any information about how authentication is
configured or what you're doing it with, the best I can do is tell you
to see the documentation for your webserver to see to do LDAP
authentication.

Subject: interfacing nagios to ibm director
Message-ID: <20080410190000.GG23095@vanheusden.com>

Hi,

Anyone got experience with interfacing ibm director to nagios?
E.g. director checks some statusses of some servers and nagios then
somehow picks that status up.

Hello,
 I am using both Nagios 2.10 and Nagios 3.0.1 ... We ack issues all the time but we always uncheck the bottom 2 of the three check boxes. The emails just add to the noise most times. Is there a way to set that so that happens by default? Thanks, -Seth

Same here- thus the reason I'm looking for a better option. But that's

Ok, found the problem. Totally my fault- I had missed a couple of  
directives in the cgi.cfg file. Your response clued me into that  
fact :P Sorry to waste your guy's time.

Hello,

            For some reason if I try to setup a service group the verify procedure now tells me - invalid object definition type "servicegroup" - I am following the documentation and it is basically the same stuff that I had running on 2.11
            The status-map option no longer works there I get a  error: could not read object configuration data.

Thanks for any help

Tom

Centreon looks pretty good, but it's not fully functional for v3.... I
guess it could be a great frontend if it gets more attention from
community...

The servicegroup error you're getting is because the keyword is
"servicegroups" (plural).  The thing to remember there is that a check
could be a member of more than one servicegroup...
 
I don't use the statusmap so I can't comment on that.

Thank you, Duncan.

This is very useful documentation.  The tables make so much more sense now!
I made some changes to the configuration files and got the desired results,
but I don't really understand the configuration options and I'd like to.  I
hope you'll bear with me for a bit longer.

I changed config_output_options in the ndomod.cfg file from 2 to 1.  When I
restarted Nagios, I found the config tables had been populated.  (Victory!)
The available options are:

# CONFIG OUTPUT OPTION
# This option determines what types of configuration data the NDO
# NEB module will dump from Nagios.  Values can be OR'ed together.
# Values:
#         0 = Don't dump any configuration information
#         1 = Dump only original config (from config files)
#         2 = Dump config only after retained information has been restored
#         3 = Dump both original and retained configuration

I guess I don't understand what is meant by "retained information," nor
where it is being restored from.  For that matter, I don't know what it
means to "OR" values together...  Can someone explain what these options
mean?

In case it helps anyone else, my data_processing_options (same file) is set
to -1.  I didn't have to change this.

Thanks,
-Frank

I've started using NagiosQL web based GUI to configure Nagios and it keeps backups of all changed configs.

I haven't done this with IBM director, but but I'd look for a log file to scan for new alerts, or for an SNMP hook to alert Nagios when an error occurs. Other vendor specific monitoring tools provide these. The log file parser would probably be the most reliable and easiest to implement. The trick will be to match the alert from the log to the host in Nagios, since all alerts will come from the host that is the director as a proxy for what it is watching..

On Windows,
Frequently many admins leave automatic updates on to make there life easier,
but as a side effect the server reboots itself usually midweek.  To have
more controle over the reboot, wither manually run updates or configure a
SUS server.
Updates installed are published in the System Log as well as the reboot
itself.

If you really want the last boot time instead of the uptime, add a wrapper
shell script that calculates the reboot date by subtracting the uptime from
the current time.

Subject: Problem with Event Handler
Message-ID: <ab74de010804101944v5bcdf4f2w2395c4403d6cf4a5@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

First of all, I would like to apologize for my english.

I need your help, I'm trying to configure Nagios (version 2.5) for launch
backups with Bacula (www.bacula.org), for that I'm use a Event
Handler. Myproblem is that I've configure Nagios for start this event,
I'm new in the Event Handlers theme. The most importan parts of my nagios
configuration:

In "nagios.cfg":
enable_event_handlers=1

In "bigger.cfg":
# 'scliente' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host

        host_name               scliente
        alias                   scliente - Desktop
        address                 192.168.101.14
        parents                 vs1-dhcp
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        check_period            24x7
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     workhours
        notification_options    d,u,r
        event_handler           launch-bacula-jobs
        contact_groups          desktop-admins
        }


In "checkcommads.cfg":
# 'launch-bacula-jobs' command definition
define command{
        command_name    launch-bacula-jobs
        command_line    $USER2$/eventhandlers/launch-bacula-jobs $HOSTNAME$
$HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTSTATETYPE$
        }


My Script is  "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers/launch-bacula-jobs"

#!/bin/sh

# LAUNCH BACULA JOBS EVENT HANDLER SCRIPT
# Written By: Skina Technologies (skina at skinatech.com)
# Last Modified: 04-04-2008


echo "Bacula Event Handler Script"
echo "HOSTNAME: $1"
echo "HOSTSTATE: $2"
echo "HOSTSTATETYPE: $3"

# Only take action on hard host states...
case "$3" in
HARD)

        case "$2" in
        DOWN)
                echo "The host is DOWN"
                ;;

        UP)
                echo "The host is UP. Start backup to $1"
                echo "run $1 yes" | bconsole
                ;;
        esac
        ;;

esac
exit 0


What is the problem????

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes this can be done in NC_Net
but depending on your goals the service could also be configured to restart
if it stop

For NC_Net
First make sure you are using a current version of Nc_Net
Sourceforge is the only location that NC_Net should be downloaded from.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

Use the RUNSCRIPT command check help for syntex
./check_nc_net --help=RUNSCRIPT

create a batch that runs the net start command.
copy it into the script folder of NC_Net install folder.
Make sure your startup.cfg is configured approprialty for running scripts.
(documentation is clear for these settings in the Startup.cfg file in the
config folder of NC_NEt install location)
if you modified the starup make sure to restart NC_NEt

Then configure a event script for nagios  that calls check_nt
-v RUNSCRIPT -l "Scriptname"

Hi,

SVN or CVS work very well for this; I personally use SVN.  Version
control admin directories will not interfere with Nagios parsing
configs from directories as it looks for files that end in .cfg (as
you pointed out in your post).

Terrific way to keep a hot backup of your configs off site and to
allow multiple configuration editors to work on files concurrently;
you could even tie in a nice project management web interface like
Trac for SVN and have a central place for people to easily see what
changed when via the web as well as managing requests for changes to
Nagios (new service / host monitoring requests etc) using the trouble
ticketing features of a system like Trac ... and then their monitoring
requests can be tied back to change sets by using the Milestone
features of Trac.

Lots of nice possibilities, especially for environments with multiple
editors and multiple users who can request service and host monitoring
changes.

Educated guess - bconsole isn't in the environment path when nagios  
executes the event handler. You can expect to have a minimal  
environment and should specify full paths to files and programs. Also  
make sure that the nagios user can successfully run that command.

Also, it's much safer to pass the configuration file to use to 
bsonsole. So you should end up with something like "/sbin/bconsole -c 
/etc/bacula/bconsole.conf"

Things might even be more comlicated.

Your $1 in the event handler script holds the host name as defined in 
Nagios. That is not necessarily the name of any Bacula job.

Of course you could define the jobs with the plain host name, but for 
reasons of manageability and flexibility I usually recommend a 
different naming scheme for the jobs.

For example, on host sample with Bacula file daemon sample-fd you 
might have the jobs Sample-root Sample-home and Sample-data. For many 
Bacula installations, you soon discover that you need several jobs to 
take different needs regarding retention times, storage pools, or 
special backup procedures into account.

As long as you really only need one job named exactly like the Nagios 
host name, your setup is ok, though.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#retain_state_information 
  - store state information in a file so when nagios gets relstarted  
it carries on from where it left off rather than start all checks from  
scratch again.  If you didn't have this enabled but the  
config_output_options was set to 2 then there would be nothing to load  
back in, hence the tables are blank.

0 - load in config from files but do not end config on to database
1 - load in config files and send to database
2 - load in retained state file config and send tto the db
1 + 2 = 3 - load in both config and retained info, merge together and  
send onto db

see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OR_Gate vs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AND_gate 
  and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_gate for more info on logic -  
principle is the same

Subject: Help installing Nagios monitoring agent on AIX 4.3
Message-ID: <0DA41B7D08D5624E830E12E4E012AF26938573@sukv7sw20015.sukv7.swisslog.net>

Hi All,

 

I am having problems installing Nagios Agent on AIX 4.3

 

I have followed the document to install Nagios-plugins
nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz and NRPE plugins nrpe-2.12.tar.gz . I get error
when running make command after ./configure on nagios-plugins. The error is:

I have even tried installing the AIX Specific packages available on the
Nagios Exchange (e.g. nrpe-aix-5.2.tar.gz), but no success.

 

The document I followed to install NRPE for Linux/UNIX is the one available
on www.nagios.org <http://www.nagios.org/>  and written by Ethan Galstad.

 

If any one has successfully installed Nagios Monitoring Plugins/Agent on AIX
4.3, please let me know how you did it.

 

Thanks ever so much.

NoMa is for you :-) I've not yet tested it, but it allows you to delegate
only contacts/notifications management with a web interface. All you
have to do in Nagios is using a single script to hande notifications

http://www.netways.de/de/produkte/nagios/erweiterungen/noma/

and as Hari said, plain text & well organised configs, making good
use of Nagios 3.x features (multiple inheritance, "+" operator for
servicegroups/hostgroups) for your templates *and* thoroughly
planning and modelling your(s) network(s) if far more useful than
a web interface in my opinion (I rather spend time adding nuvola
style & designing nagvis maps...)

The beta for 2.0 which supported 3.0 is supposed to be released this
week, betting it will be sometime next week though.

Subject: interfacing nagios to ibm director

We've been looking at a few different methods.

Using the Director server to execute send_nsca, or send snmptraps to
snmptt which get picked up by nagios.

Or dumping the director agent messages to syslog/ a log and picking up
the messages with check_logfiles.

Message-ID: <54A511F12B5E6246857C68356C74EA1E027AB5BFFE@IL-Exchange2007.il.local>

Hello,
    Since my upgrade to 3.0.1 the status map function returns an error could not read object configuration data.  The verify option returns no errors and the log files show no startup or status errors.  I received this error before and after I moved the extended host information to the host definition.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Subject: Nagios Exchange feedback
Message-ID: <47FF6EFB.9060505@googlemail.com>

Hi,

   I just wanted to give some feedback on the new NagiosExchange site. 
I'm intentionally posting here and not via the contact form on the site 
itself because I would like to have an open discussion on this in order 
to give better collaborative feedback.

First off, thanks to all those who had a part in upgrading the site.


Some of my own personal observations and opinions on the site and how it 
can be improved are below if you are interested.

1. The author name is no longer displayed next to the plugins listing. I 
don't know about anyone else, but I used to really use this to see 
straight off if a plugin was written by the same guy as another one as 
there is usually a strong correlation in the quality of plugins and who 
wrote them, it helped me avoid or zero in on plugins in a list. It's 
also just nice to see who wrote each one when scrolling through any list.
2. The votes have all been reset, which is a shame since it now means 
the better rated plugins are mingled in with the not so good ones, and I 
doubt people are going to go back and re-cast their votes.
3. The wiki markup changed, it would be nice if this was mapped or 
something on the migration, pages I've written now look horrid and I'd 
rather not go through so many pages to do it the manual chimp way 
(although I could live with it if I had to)
4. Navigation doesn't seem to be as nice as it was. For example, the 
only way to browse the plugins is to go back to the home page and 
navigate from there. There don't seem to be any links the the top bar of 
the page, and things like "Cool Projects" and "Random Project", while 
good ideas, seem a bit less useful that this basic usability in 
navigation of going straight to the plugins browsing by section like we 
had before.
5. I get a certificate error when connecting to the site's login, it 
seems that the certificate is self signed instead of verified by a 
trusted 3rd party as is standard...


Overall, I feel that NagiosExchange is less clear (I can't fully explain 
this bit - a feeling with the layout, spacing, text etc...) and less 
effective since it's revamping... I certainly haven't felt as 
comfortable using it as the old site, either looking for other people's 
plugins or with my own.


I'd like to know what other people think, if anyone agrees or disagrees 
with what I think on these topics, since this is a community orientated 
site I thought it might be relevant to have a more community orientated 
discussion as this is the site's primary audience.


Again, thank you for all of your work on NagiosExchange.org to all those 
involved and also to all the plugin authors as well that make the site 
such a useful code sharing conduit.

It's not difficult, you don't have to read all the code concepts like 
branching and merging if you are just interested in simple "check out -> 
change+deploy -> check in" usage.

Hello,

please, reply to the list or I might send an invoice ;-)

Of course, others might profit from the archives, too.

Well, keep in mind what Marc pointed out - the environment Nagios uses 
to execute scripts is seriously stripped down.

I'm rather sure you won't find the /eventhandlers/launch-bacula-jobs 
existing and executale by nagios.

Use a fully qualified path for the command and have the script be 
owned and executable by the nagios user. The directories leading to it 
should also be r-x for nagios.

So, do a 'ls -l /eventhandlers/launch-bacula-jobs' and see if it's 
usable by Nagios.

Hi again list!

The jobs named exactly like Nagios:

In Nagios (bigger.cfg)

# 'scliente' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host

        host_name               scliente
        alias                   scliente - Desktop
        address                 192.168.101.14
        parents                 vs1-dhcp
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        check_period            24x7
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     workhours
        notification_options    d,u,r
        event_handler           launch-bacula-jobs
        contact_groups          desktop-admins
        }


In Bacula (bacula-dir.conf):

JobDefs {
  Name = "scliente"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Client = scliente-fd
  FileSet = "MyDocs"
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
  Storage = File
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Inc-Pool
  Priority = 10
}

When I launch a backup from console for client "scliente", I use:
$ echo "run scliente yes" | bconsole

When I execute "tail -f /var/log/nagios/nagios.log" in console, show this:
[1207936526] HOST EVENT HANDLER: scliente;DOWN;SOFT;1;launch-bacula-jobs
[1207936526] HOST ALERT: scliente;UP;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA
= 2.41 ms


The route of Event handler is:  "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers"
$ ls -lt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 568 abr 10 20:00 launch-bacula-jobs


Please help!

We've said several times this won't work in your event handler script.
Did you change it?

> When I execute "tail -f /var/log/nagios/nagios.log" in console, show
this:
> [1207936526] HOST EVENT HANDLER:

Does your event handler get executed? Add debugging to echo text to a
file to verify. Make sure you're getting the values you expect you're
getting. Make sure you're capturing errors from your call to bconsole
and logging those.

Does this match the command{} definition for the event handler?

We have been but you don't appear to be listening.

Subject: Nagios Nuvola and IE 7
Message-ID: <952782.61157.qm@web50302.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hi list,

I am running Nagios 2.11 on CentOS 5. I really like the look that the Nagios-nuvola gives to Nagios, but I noticed that if the nuvola skins are installed, the "Event logs" menu pick which runs "showlog.cgi" causes IE 7 to hang solid. Seems to work fine with Firefox.  The Nuvola instructions are to "Just move the "html" folder into the HTML directory of Nagios", but Nagios 2.11 seems to have additional stuff in its HTML folder (share), so I did the following to preserve what was there:

 cd <nagios-nuvola-dir>
 cp -Rfv html/* /usr/local/nagios/share/
 chown -R nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagios/share/*
 
IE 7 works for everything except the "Event log" menu pick. If this is clicked it hangs the browser solid, and the browser has to be killed. I'd like all the users to use Firefox but it ain't gonna happen real soon.  If Nuvola is not installed, IE 7 works, so it is something to do with what Nuvola does.  

Any ideas on how to fix this is appreciated.

Regards,
Greg King

I use Subversion. I keep a local copy of the prod files and do the
changes live, then run a simple script that prints the diffs I can
review before commiting. Upon commit a notification email with commit
log and changes is sent. I use this technique for many other things like
cronjobs, file servers (exports, rsyncd, samba), Linux-HA, httpd config,
etc...

Yes, and It needs a lot of testing and feedback, so if there are
people with spare time, please try it!, a distributed solution would
be great and for graphs it uses the ndo database data.

The old roadmap stated a PHP interface for nagios v3, apparently it
didn't happen..

Subject: contactgroups
Message-ID: <498196.73044.qm@web26211.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

hello

I created 2 contactgroups and thought that by affecting each hostgroup to a contactgroup, the alerts that belong to a host will go according to the contactgroup value that was defined in the hostgroup definition.

However, I saw also that services has hostgroup value. So I had to redo the work: Affect a contactgroup to each service.

Any alternative than doing this redundant work?

thanks

Hi, I think you have to do that work, but using template services should
help you to write the contactgroups only once in service.cfg.
Template services are the only way to make your whole configuration clean an
simple without writing the same thing twice.

Subject: Running tests on intersection of two hostgroups?
Message-ID: <26face530804131333n571c2e19tcede317a3b9f11a9@mail.gmail.com>

I have a "Windows" hostgroup for my Windows machines, and an
"Important" hostgroup for all my important machines (Windows and
otherwise).

How do I check a service on the intersection of these two groups (ie,
important Windows machines)?

I realize I could create an "important Windows" hostgroup, but that
seems ugly, since I'd have to maintain it separately from the two
existing hostgroups.

If the question is if one can use boolean logic in requiring an AND
function in the membership of hostgroups. Then the simple answer is no.
You need to define another group with the right members yourself.

If your question is different you may need to rephrase the question.

Is there no plan to allow embedded hostgroups in Nagios?

Once you have this, you would just stick all important windows machines 
in the "Important Windows" group and then nest that group in the general 
"Important" group to achieve the effect of maintaining those hosts in 
only one place, scalable and consistent.

I'm not sure if this is in 3.x or planned, I don't follow the bleeding 
development track too closely...

Short of that, write a script to parse and generate another hostgroups 
file to achieve the same result and have it automated to create the 
Important group from other hostgroups and maintain your hosts in just 
those more specific hostgroups.

I did something similar to auto-generate servicegroups for all tests to 
allow easily grouping them together, you could do something similar for 
hostgroups (my script for servicegroups is released here 
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/pages/Detailed/2435.html)

You will need the openssl-devel package if you want to compile the plugins
manually.

Which flavour of linux are you using?  If you are using Debian (or
Debian derivatives), you will probably need to install libssl-dev
before you can recompile correctly, just having ssl installed is not
enough.

Kind regards,

We use 3.0 and do something like that now with a group of "MS Exchange
Servers" that is embedded in the "Windows Servers" groups.  That way we just
apply the "exchange_server" template to servers running MS Exchange without
also having to apply the "windows_server" template.  

For Kelly's problem, I suppose one could define an "Important" template and
a "Windows" template, and then apply both templates to "important Windows
servers".

Did configure find it? Look through the configure output to verify. You
might need to specify the path to the openssl installation (./configure
--help). 

Based on your posts so far today, I'd highly encourage you to read

Never mind, sorry for the luser moment. I just looked at the correct 
Nagios version and found $HOSTACKAUTHOR$ and $SERVICEACKAUTHOR$

Subject: External nagios monitoring
Message-ID: <48039020.6090702@pixelhammer.com>

Good morning,

We are writing a app for a client that will display Nagios status in a 
way that doesn't strike fear into the minds of the PHBs. Currently the 
designers have a nice Flash based app with lots of pretty pictures and 
dancing monkey icons, all the glitter a CIO could want. I need to stuff 
data into a DB for the designer to use for updating the app.

I've looked at event handlers but I am leaning towards using the 
notification script to also update the DB. I don't think the event 
handler will execute for an acknowledgment correct?

My question, has anyone ever done this? I need to sent very little info,

1) the date
2) the host/service
3) the notification type
4) the admin name/string who acks the notofication

I have access to #1 through #3 for the notification handler obviously, I 
don't see where I have access to #4. Will I have to parse the 
comments.dat for that information or can I grab that somewhere?

Running Nagios 2.5

Thanks,

DAve

Subject: Nagios 3 CGI backslash stripping
Message-ID: <91eedcbf0804141134u233af164g6586a0a06c33350b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to report this, but I could
not find a bug tracker associated with Nagios.  There appears to be a
problem with the way the CGIs strip backslashes from plugin output.
The code which strips them appears to assume that whenever there is a
backslash, then it is escaping the next character.  However, this is
not always the case.  For example, backslashes on Windows partitions
consist of a single backslash which shouldn't be removed.

Copy and paste from status.dat:
plugin_output=OK: C:\: Total: 68.2G - Used: 12.6G (18%) - Free: 55.6G (82%)

In order to fix the problem on our install, I've commented out line
787 and replaced it with 788. I've also commented out 789.  As far as
I can tell, this change has not had an adverse effect on any other
output.

cgiutils.c:
785                          /* unescape backslashes and other stuff */
786                          else{
787                                  /* rawbuf[y++]=rawbuf[x+1]; */
788                                  rawbuf[y++]=rawbuf[x];
789                                  /* x++; */
790                                  }

SNMP will only allow you to access the total utilization of the drive
(total, free, used, %) as a whole, you cannot monitor subdirectories
with it.

You may have to investigate a different method or plugin that is
Windows native. I don't know of one off the top of my head.

Pallav,

This is is plain nagging. And propably the best way to ensure no one is
going to answer your questions anymore.

If you have a business need to get things going and are unable to do it
yourself, as you have proven well beyond any doubt by now, then be a man
and hire someone who can do the job for you.

If this is some do-it-yourself project then follow Alex suggestion and
read about how to ask your questions on a malinglist.

No one here has any obligation to answer any question of any reader. If
they do so it is a courtesy and not a right.

Hugo.

Subject: Strange return code 255 on Solaris 9
Message-ID: <B424C2D7F523774F8846763C87DA7800011483EF@OESTMB403A.tdk.dk>

Hi
 
I'm running nagios plugins on a group of solaris 9 machines. I use the
check_by_ssh command to check disk, load ect
on the remote machines. I'm running the same check by ssh command
against a hostgroup of 15 machines, but one of them fails and returns
(Return code of 255 is out of bounds).
 
If i run the check_disk locally on the machine it works fine, and if i
run it manually from the nagios machine with check_by-ssh it also works
fine, but if nagios runs it it don't work ?? - and all other machines in
the same group works fine - strange
 
this is run from nagios machine :
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H khk23dso3.ip.tdk.dk  -l nagios
-i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -C 'plugin/check_disk -w 25% -c 15% -l -X

Hi all,
i am planning to improve my nagios intallation by adding a sms-notification.
I have found several pluggins but there is something i don't understand...
All of them talk about, sername and password associated with SMS2Email
account, Mollie account....
Is this service managed by a private enterprise or i could buy a GSM modem
with a pre-paid target?
Where i could get an account?
I am very lost in this topic so any information would be very grateful.

Best wishes,

Pili

As Nagios is only run by Plugins, even with notifications, you can do 
almost anything that transports your informations to a SMS Provider.

Pretty cheap is, for example, what I am doing.

I have regular old Nokia 6210 cell phone hooked to the Nagios box.
Then I use gammu (http://www.gammu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) 
to Pipe notifications to that cell phone.

My notification command looks like this:

define command{
         command_name    notify-by-sms
         command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Nagios\n\nType: 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: 
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nTime: 
$SHORTDATETIME$\nInfo:$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | gammu --sendsms TEXT 
$CONTACTEMAIL$ | tee -a /var/nagios/nagios-sms.log
         }

As you can see, I use the usual $CONTACTEMAIL$ to store the cell phone 
number I want to send the sms to.

Or, as a more general answer to your question:
You can use anything with nagios, that you are able to configure, nagios 
only limiting you to have a command on your system that'll pipe the info 
to the device.

+1

I'm doing basically what you've described using SVN+Jira.  On the Subversion
side, I use a pre-commit hook that does the preflight test, to keep bad configs
out of the repo (and away from Nagios).  Adding an issue number to the commit
message associates the commit with an issue; Jira shows the commit summary in
the issue detail, with links to the full changes.  On the Nagios side, I run a
script out of cron (or at will) that checks the repo for updates, cleans out
any config files that have been removed, gets the latest rev and reloads.  And
logs everything :)

One thing to keep in mind - this solution works well, but only as long as
you're still hand-editing your configs.  AFAIK, none of the front-ends support
using any kind of SCM tool for the backend, though that would be a welcome feature.

Cheers,

-tt

A couple of options
1) Create a second mountpoint for the drive as a letter -- I have a
server that has "C:\mysql\data" as a separate drive. I've additionally
mounted this as "M:", and can use SNMP to look at the M: drive. I've had
issues with SNMP on windows 2000 before, it sometimes fails to report
the correct value.
2) You can also use samba, pass in a host, share, username and password,
the plugin used smbclient to do a "DIR". Seems to work for me, I knocked
up a plugin for internal use which does this, basically it does:

open(PH, "smbclient //$host/$share -U$username \"$password\" -c \"dir\"
2>/dev/null");
While (<PH>) {$lastLine = $_;}
Then checks for /NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME/, /NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED/
and no output, then checks for the "nnn blocks of size xx. Yyy blocks"

If it finds it, it takes the number used as
100*(blockused/(blockused+blockfree))), which gives me x%

It then returns this value, and nagiosgrapher parses it to plot a graph.

(Don't ask why we have mysql on a windows server!)

Subject: Distibuted Setup Questions...
Message-ID: <006501c89f19$1d335000$300a960a@gabriel>

All,

 

I presently have a distributed setup using V 3.0.1, and as you would expect
with active/passive checks, it shows all the passive checks for the hosts
within the service status details as pending.

 

My question is this.  If I am checking services passively on a box, and all
services are reporting, is there any way to make Nagios use that information
for the host and not show it as pending?  Also, how can I remove the big red
"X" beside all the hosts that it is passively monitoring?  90% of what I
will be doing is passive and showing all remove hosts doing the active
monitoring as pending is just not optimal.

 

Thanks in advance for everyone's time.

All,

 

I figure this might be something that I am doing wrong, but I am unable to
view the custom images that I have setup within the status map.  I have read
many of the different instruction for converting .png files to .gd2 and even
tried .jpg, but still have not gotten it to work.  

 

I have another installation that I have access to, which is V 2.9, which
does not have a problem.  I recently updated my installation from 3.0 to
3.0.1, thinking maybe a missed something in the initial configuration, but
no joy.  Anyone have any ideas of what I might have missed?  

 

The following is an excerpt of the relevant output during ./configure for
3.0.1:

 

We'll use default routines (in xdata/xsddefault.*) for status data I/O...

I have them configured basically the same way as "icon_image".  I have also
tried it with the full path on the drive.  The odd thing also is that popup,
which you do the mouse over, shows the correct image, which I figure is
generated from the specification of the icon_image.  Just makes no sense.
It is not a big deal, but I get tired of seeing the "?".

If you dumped the images in the share directory as root check the
permissions and make sure that Nagios user/ web user and group(s) can view
them. If it found the gd library there is no reason that the images are not
displaying that I can think of off the top of my head. I will head to the
docs to verify though.

Subject: passive checks for non-24x7 hosts going stale
	outside check_period
Message-ID: <20080415180538.GC4989@n-its-markwag2.mcis.washington.edu>

I have a distributed set-up where the web interface server never
does any checks. Freshness checking is enabled on the web interface
server with a check command that will alert that the service/host
is stale.

Everything works fine except for those hosts that are not monitored
24x7.

For example, services/hosts that are monitored 9am-5pm will be reported as
stale every morning at 9am. The service/host goes stale on the active
monitoring servers too, a service/host check will be forced, and the
result will be sent to the web interface server at which point the web
interface server is happy again.

I would think that Nagios would not include time outside of
the check_period when calculating how fresh a service/host is
but that appears not to be the case. (Please correct me if I
am wrong.)

Does anybody have any tips on how to handle this situation?

I'm using Nagios v2.9.

I also use SVN + Trac.  I wrote an script to sync my config files - on  
multiple hosts  and not just for nagios - up to the svn server via  
cron.  It works really well and most of the time I don't need the  
files to be uploaded immediately after I make changes, so I do it once  
a day and always have the rev history.

Works really well and I use it also for /etc dirs and other config  
directories as well.

Hello,

i have 2 nagios servers, where one acts as an failover(with disabled
checks/notification.).
I use send_nsca to send the current servcie/host status to the
failover server, since we have some notifications disabled on main
server,
how can i transfer these settings to the failover server?

cheers

How fortuitous, we were just chatting about setting up another Nagios
server using the passive check system at work yesterday.  I would also
be interested in hearing more about this issue if anyone has any further
information or advice.

                Does anyone out there have any documentation that they
have written up for getting sms notifications up and running on an

Subject: Need help with Nagios, PERC, and likely false warning
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.64L.0804161105530.17750@mint-square.mit.edu>

I have a Dell PE2950 with PERC 5/i.  The server suffered a failed disk 
under RAID 0.  I obtained a replacement disk, rebuilt the system from the 
ground up (new logical volumes within the controller, new OS install) and 
the system is happy now.

I installed nagios on a low-end PC (CentOS 5), and obtained nrpe from Nagios, 
installed a couple OpenManage plugins - Report and Storage. Both nagios plugins 
report the PERC as status Warning - PERC 5/i is Non-Critical/Degraded.

The report and storage nagios plugins, along with a few other Dell plugins, all 
show the RAID volumes and disks as perfectly healthy.

Are the Warnings a reflection of the OpenManage files obtained via yum, the 
nagios plugins (both plugins show the same issue), and/or does the RAID 
controller actually have a flag I missed, that still needs to be cleared, 
though the RAID was rebuilt?

Thanks for any insights/help.

Scott

None of the above, probably.  Most likely you're using a newer version of
OpenManage than was current when your controller firmware/drivers were new.
You could either downgrade to an older version of OpenManage, or better yet
upgrade the firmware/drivers to the latest version and clear the error.

Message-ID: <3B866DD1-D0C8-486B-81D4-A0C92D071CC9@frontierflying.com>

Running nagios 3.0, I have set up a number (most) of my hosts without  
services, since all I am interested in monitoring is the hosts  
themselves. However, this is causing a number of little annoyances,  
such as the hosts not showing up when I type their name into the  
nagios sidebar search, throwing numerous warnings if I do a verify  
from the command line, giving me a blank page when I click the  
hostname link from the hostgroup overview page, etc. Is there any way  
around these issues other than adding a check_dummy service check to  
each host? Thanks.

There must be some reason for each server or device to be on the
network, it must provide some service, even if it's just a lowly(?)

Do yourself and your organization a favor and monitor that reason!

You can use check_ping -- I assume the boxes are pingable, and you want
to check they are pingable, even if they do nothing else that can be
monitored. 

If you don't want to check they work via ping, why are you even
modelling them?

Nagios is a service monitoring application and everything is developed
with that in mind. Every host is expected to have at least one service
associated with it. Being able to effectively monitor hosts without
services is new in Nagios-3 and is considered an 'optional' and not a
core feature. The effects you're seeing are the result of that
expectation. For example, clicking on the hostname link from hostgroup
overview takes you to a list of services on that host. It would be nice
if it did something different in your case but it's not there and you
should understand that your use case is the exception, not the norm. I
have heard nothing about that behavior changing in the future.

I very much suspect you might find this message useful, Steven:

I AM checking them via ping- in the host check. It just doesn't make  
sense to be pinging both as a service check and as a host check, and  
since the ping is actually determining the host state, not the state  
of a service, it makes more sense to put the ping check as the host  
check, rather than a separate service.

Additionally, *just* today I noticed a thread on NANOG about this,
check the list archives (at nanog.org) looking for a thead about

Hi,

 

Does anyone have a detailed doc written for configuring check_logfiles. I'm
new to Nagios and Linux :-) and I've managed to install Nagios, NRPE, as
well as the check_logfiles plugin. I've set up a few hosts, commands, and
service checks with and without the use of NRPE and everything is working in
that aspect. I'm just stuck on getting the plugin jumpstarted and the
current documentation provided in the check_logs site is a bit overwhelming.

 

I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

To some extent, yes, but not necessarily a service we can monitor.  
There are quite a few devices on the network that it is important to  
us to know should the device fail, but aren't offering any separately  
monitorable "service", per se. For example, printers. We need to know  
if one dies, so we can fix it before it becomes a problem (not to  
mention that fixing the boss's printer before he even knows it has a  
problem makes you look good ;-) ), but other than the simple ping host  
check, they don't offer any "services" we can monitor.

Even some more essential devices such as switches can fall into this  
category, as they are just routing traffic, not offering any  
"services". I could, of course, go crazy and use check_snmp or  
something to monitor each port on said switch as a service, but that  
is way overkill for our needs- we just need to know that the switch is  
there and functioning, i.e. host check.

Not to mention the rather large category of client machines, which we  
need to know are running so they can be backed up, and, of course,  
used for whatever the user needs. Kind of difficult to monitor the  
ability to run office, or an e-mail client :-). We still want to  
monitor the host, though, so that hopefully if/when a client machine  
should die we can fix it before the user (who may well come in before  
us in the morning) is impacted. We could, of course, monitor something  
like ssh on those machines, but why? All we (and the user) care about  
is that the machine is functioning.

So yeah, while this may not be the way nagios is designed to work, and  
may never be (which I can live with if so), I really don't see this as  
being all that unusual a situation, as some responses seem to imply.

Telnet to 9100 and look for a banner.  Or the equivalent for non
JetDirect printers..

And moving traffic; you might find it useful to ping-check other things
on that switch.  Or at least ssh-check the switch controller itself.

Sure.  But for workstations, you're not monitoring diskspace?  Open TCP
listens (to watch for trojans)

Well, it's not that it's unusual, I think; I believe the assertion
being made is that only doing a ping is not the Best Practice.

Kyle,

Thanks, but using this resource I wasn't able to get far. I'm sure that I'm
making a small mistake. Here is how I have my setup so far:

Nagios Monitoring Server: version 3.0.1

Commands.cfg:

	define command {
       command_name  check_nrpe_arg
       command_line  $USER1$/check_nrpe -p 5777 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t $ARG1$
c $ARG2$ -a $ARG3$
       }

Services.cfg:

	define service{
       use                  master-service
	 host                 rflx01app
	 service_description  Log Files
	 check_command
check_nrpe_arg!20!check_logfiles!etc/$SERVICEDESC$
	 }

Host Being Monitored:

Nrpe.cfg:

	command[check_logfiles]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles -f
etc/check_websphere

check_websphere (located in "/usr/local/nagios/etc/" along with the
nrpe.cfg)

\$seekfilesdir = '/usr/local/nagios/var/tmp';

# where the state information will be saved.

 

\$protocolsdir = '/usr/local/nagios/var/tmp';

# where protocols with found patterns will be stored.

 

\$scriptpath = '/usr/local/nagios/var/tmp';

# where scripts will be searched for.

 

\$MACROS = \{ CL_DISK01 => "/dev/dsk/c0d1", CL_DISK02 => "/dev/dsk/c0d2" \};

 

\@searches = (

  {

    tag => 'websphere',

    logfile =>
'/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/logs/rflxappserver1/SystemOu
t.log',

    rotation => 'SystemOut',

    criticalpatterns => ['java.lang.OutOfMemoryError', 'hung.*'],

    options => 'noscript,protocol,nocount',

  },
);


At my first attempt Nagios displayed an unknown status, but with this latest
config that I have above, Nagios now shows "Connection refused by host".

Thanks again,

In such cases the typical action is to configure the ping as a service
check and no, a single ping or check_dummy, as a host check, Whether
you're using parenting or not determines which of those you choose.

Yeah, I'm seeing that. Just didn't think it would be such a big  
issue :-D I was actually expecting either a simple solution, or a  
simple "it can't be done". Unfortunately, being the stubborn type, I  
tend to beat these things into the ground :-P :-D

Ok, that one might be of some use, in the case where the printer is  
responding to pings (host up) but not accepting connections (service  
down). Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

Yep, we are - all the hosts connected to the switch. That's not a  
service check on the switch, though, that's host checks on devices  
connected to it. Trying to monitor something like this directly on the  
switch as a service check would just be redundant. Maybe save a few  
seconds,  but if you see all the hosts on the far side of a switch go  
down, while the switch is still up, it should be fairly obvious that  
the switch is having problems :-D

Well, we could, and for some places this sort of through monitoring is  
overkill.

I guess I see your point, in that there is typically something on any  
device which could be monitorable as a service. One could also argue  
that if it could be an issue (such as disk space on a client machine,  
or Open TCP listens), it should be monitored. These are valid  
arguments. However, I would argue that cluttering up your nagios  
display with services that either a) are fringe cases which would be  
quickly noticed anyway, or b) which you really don't care about, not  
to mention the additional network, monitoring server, and client load  
this imposes, is not best practice. Best Practice, in my mind at  
least, is Keep It Simple. Just monitor what you need to in order to  
provide the best service to your clients you can.

Thanks :-) Yeah, that's how I had it when I was running 2.x. It just  
seemed more intuitively obvious to go with host checks once 3.0 made  
that a reasonable option, since it was the host state, not a service  
state, that we were monitoring. That's ok though. I was just wondering  
if there was a better way. Apparently not :-) Thanks again everyone!

I think that in almost all cases, this is going to be more than a simple
ping. Take a simple case of a router. You might think that if it's
pingable, it's up and working, if not it's down. However, if you're
looking to provide the best service to your clients you're also going to
be concerned with CPU utilization on that router, memory use, interface
errors/status, etc...

Well, if you dig, I think you will find that you can monitor much more
than you think. 

In fact, to take one example you mentioned: printers.

If I was in charge of monitoring the availability of the boss's printer,
I would have Nagios run a test printout every morning that would either
return a status or, if it's an old printer that's less intelligent, I'd
have a piece of paper in the output tray that I'd pick up on my way to
my desk!
At that point, you know not only that it's turned on, but that the toner
is good, it's not jammed, and a bunch of other stuff.

Even in the worst case scenario of a dot matrix printer connected via
serial line, you can whip up a plugin that sends a printout via a
command line tool with "lpr" or some other old standby. Samba might come
in hand there.

This may not be applicable to your printer, but for instance:

[forda at hqnagpl1 ~]$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hpjd -h
check_hpjd (nagios-plugins 1.4.8) 1.35
Copyright (c) 1999 Ethan Galstad <nagios at nagios.org>
Copyright (c) 2000-2006 Nagios Plugin Development Team
        <nagiosplug-devel at lists.sourceforge.net>

This plugin tests the STATUS of an HP printer with a JetDirect card.
Net-snmp must be installed on the computer running the plugin.

I excitedly grabbed the Nagios Email Reporter plugin from
NagiosExchange, but I'm not having any success. I've been able to hack
my way through a few issues so now I'm at the point where it at least
doesn't bomb on me. 

But, when I run the "host_down_report -t last7days" (or any other time
period), all I get in response is:


	24x7


And that's it.

My Perl skills are weak at best, so I'm not sure where to go from here.
Anyone else have any luck and wouldn't mind sharing?

Thanks!
Steve

That was copy and paste and it was incorrect in my config file as well.
Thanks for pointing it out. :) I used that port (as a newbie that I am)
because I saw it in the examples provided online. I have no clue what this
value should really be. 

You're right, the way I've configured NRPE is to used TCP wrappers, but I'm
100% sure this works as I send a simple check_disk command using NRPE and I
get the proper response. Furthermore, I do have nrpe added to /etc/services
and configured the nagios server to be allowed to communicate with the NRPE
daemon which can be proven by the issuing commands like the one above.

If that was copy and paste, note that what should be -c is missing te
hyphen, and that your port nunmber is non-standard (I came in late; you
might have done that on purpose).

If you're sending arguments and the target nrpe was configured to
reject them it will also bounce.  But not the way you're seeing.

I've heard that some builds of the nrpe daemon are configured to use
TPC wrappers, and thus require a properly configured /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
(which also implies adding nrpe to /etc/services).

Could one of those things be your problem?

Take a look at the log on the remote machine nrpe is running on.
Mostly this error occurs when the nrpe daemon does not allow connections
from  the nagios server.
Have a look at "allowed_hosts" in your nrpe config.
Does this contain the IP-Adress of the old nagios server?

This is true but in the case where the plugin is one version and the daemon
is a different version.

 

Did you update both the plugin on the nagios server and also the daemon on
the host server? If not, you will get errors like the one above.

You rock Sebastian !! This was exactly the case. For now have kept the original entry and just added the new one as well. And it gave me the required o/p.
   
  Just dont know why Nagios Support site says this then ?
   
          Description:    When attempting to use the check_nrpe plugin, the following error message is printed: 
  CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake 
     
    Solution:    This error message could be due to several problems: 
      
   Different versions. Make sure you are using the same version of the check_nrpe plugin and the NRPE daemon. Newer versions of NRPE are usually not backward compatible with older versions. 

  Any idea ? Am I going to face any issues later on ? If so then I can easily go ahead with older version of NRPE installation.
   
   
  Thanx

no one?
I found the external commands for this, but integration into the
send_nsca script isnt clear for me.

Subject: Recurring Notification Problem
Message-ID: <9A4B24B9A8668B4EBCDA283505751121B2DD95@glenwood.county.simcoe.on.ca>

Hi all,
 
 I was wondering if anyone has experienced problems with recurring
critical/warning notifications with Nagios 3.0.1? I've just implemented
a new server and added a few test hosts to it. Despite our configuration
files specifying a notification interval of 0, we are receiving
notifications approximately every five minutes. Coincidentally, this is
the same length of time between service checks. The problem occurs only
with our service checks, hosts that are down only notify once as they
are configured to. The configuration file was created on our Nagios 2.x
production box through NagiosQL 2.0 and copied to our test 3.0.1 box.
There were no errors or warnings reported when checking the
configuration before starting Nagios. Nagios is running on CentOS 5,
with NDOUtils 1.4b7.
 
 Here is the service definition:
 
define  service {
        host_name

        passive_checks_enabled          1
        check_period                    24x7

        register                        1
        }
 
I've checked and double checked the configuration file and I cannot find
an error. I have also tried setting the notification interval to a high
number, 56000 just for testing, and it has made no difference to the
notifications. They still come in every five minutes.
 
Thanks,

Because you can't use send_nsca for that; it can only send
check_results. There's also no trigger like an event_handler that
happens when notifications are disabled or enabled either. The only way
I can think to do that is to periodically poll the status file to see
what's been enabled/disabled since last check and 'ssh failover echo
[external_command]...' appropriately. Not very elegant though.

I do not have further information or knowledge about that...
All I know is that I get this error message whenever I set up a new nrpe
daemon and forget to set allowed_hosts to the IP of our nagios
server ;-)

But post this to the documentation guys. I think adding it as a second
solution might help some other people.

Sebastian

Ok...Before I tackle the issue with Nagios not getting any feedback from
check_logfiles I decided to test the plugin locally on the host machine.
However I'm not getting the results I should am expecting.

I execute this at the command line:

Check_logfiles --tag=websphere
--logfile=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/logs/rflxappserver1
/SystemOut.log --criticalpattern="java.lang.Exception: DBPool returned NULL
connection."

My results are:

OK - no errors or warning|websphere_lines=0 websphere_warnings=0
websphere_criticals=0 websphere_unknowns=0

However when I check the SystemOut.log, I see the line that contains that
error. Am I missing something?

If that was copy and paste, note that what should be -c is missing te
hyphen, and that your port nunmber is non-standard (I came in late; you
might have done that on purpose).

If you're sending arguments and the target nrpe was configured to
reject them it will also bounce.  But not the way you're seeing.

I've heard that some builds of the nrpe daemon are configured to use
TPC wrappers, and thus require a properly configured /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
(which also implies adding nrpe to /etc/services).

Could one of those things be your problem?

You're running this on the monitored machine, not on the console
machine, correct?

If so, then there's some problem with check_logfiles.

Do remember, though, that that comparison is likely to be case
sensitive, and will certainly be sensitive to spacing and pucnctuation.
This is also true of the logfilename itself, come to think of it. It
*looks* as if you copied the error message into the command line, so
that shouldn't be it, but I thought I'd mention it.

Try changing one character in that logfilename to make sure you get the
expected 'I can't find that logfile' error from check_logfiles... and
if not, carefully double check that filename argument (and hang a bug
against check_logfiles; 'I can't find that log file' probably ought to
be an error condition; at least as a different status return
(WARNING - logfile not found).

Hi guys,

i just explained it to Victor in private mail, but this seems to be a FAQ.

> > OK - no errors or warning|websphere_lines=0 websphere_warnings=0 
                                              ^^
                                              ^^
.._lines=0 means that _no_ lines were scanned for patterns at all.
Why? First, because check_logfiles only examines lines which were appended
to the logfile since the last run. And second, if you run check_logfiles for
the very first time, it does not start searching from the beginning of the
file. It only initializes itself by positioning at the end-of-file.
This was necessary to avoid alerts caused by very old error messages in the
logfile.

Hi guys,

i just explained it to Victor in private mail, but this seems to be a FAQ.

> > OK - no errors or warning|websphere_lines=0 websphere_warnings=0 
                                              ^^
                                              ^^
.._lines=0 means that _no_ lines were scanned for patterns at all.
Why? First, because check_logfiles only examines lines which were appended
to the logfile since the last run. And second, if you run check_logfiles for
the very first time, it does not start searching from the beginning of the
file. It only initializes itself by positioning at the end-of-file.
This was necessary to avoid alerts caused by very old error messages in the
logfile.

This message already exists:
$ check_logfiles --logfile=/var/log/schmarrn.log --criticalpattern=kaas
UNKNOWN - (1 unknown in check_logfiles.protocol-2008-04-17-19-32-10) - could

default_criticals=0 default_unknowns=1

(There is the option "nologfilenocry" which can be set in a
configurationfile. With this option, a missing logfile is silently
tolerated).

What *I* don't know is why the code can't give a better error.

The target machine's nrpe log will though usually tell you you couldn't
connect.

Ok, so thanks to that small detail I was able to test the check_logfiles and
everything works like a charm, I get the seekfile as well as the protocol
file with results.

Now when I set up the commands again in Nagios and the service checks I get
the following in the interface:

(No output returned from plugin)

The command is set up this way:

define command{
	command_name	check_nrpe_log
	command_line	$USER1$/check_nrpe -p 5666 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c
$ARG1$
	}

The service is set up this way:

define service{
	use				master-service
	host				rflx01app
	service_description	Websphere Logs
	check_command		check_nrpe_log!check_logfiles
	}

Now I try running the command via the command line from the Nagios server
(not the server being monitored) with the following:


check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.90 -p 5666 -c check_logfiles

This should be the equivalent of the command being issued by Nagios based on
the setup above. The results are:

CRITICAL -(17 errors, 1 warning) - [4/17/08 13:51:42:420 EDT] 00000037
SystemOut	0	java.lang.Exception: DBPool returned NULL
connection.	...|websphere_lines=598 websphere_warnings=1
websphere_criticals=17 websphere_unknowns=0

Why can't Nagios receive or interpret these results? Do I need a separate
plugin for that? I haven't read much on NSCA but is that what I need? (I had
to learn that from scratch :( if that's the case)

Thanks all,

I suspect you don't want to do it that way.

No, if you can get to that point from the command line on the
monitoring machine, then you should be ok into Nagios, I would expect.

I see that the first hyphen on the response line is *not* followed by a
space, as I've come to expect... but I'll defer to Gerhard and others
on the formatting of the plugin return string; that's magic deeper than
mine at the moment.

This means you want to know it is there is the slightest change in the
output during a warning or critical phase.

So once every service check makes perfect sense. It is what you
explicitly asked for in your configuration.

Please consult the fine manual to understand what volatile means.

Subject: check_users: list the users?
Message-ID: <20080417210608.GM10538@cgi.jachomes.com>

I've just installed Nagios 3 and begun to configure it for my network
(25ish servers, all but 2 running Linux, 250ish workstations, all but
about 25 running Ubuntu), and after slogging through "SSL error" on
check_nrpe -- which means about 3 different things having nothing to do
with SSL -- and the ever popular "audio embeds *aren't*
application/wav; they're audio/x-wav, just ask my mime.types file"
problems, I'm now up to the possibly uncommon way I want to use
check_users...

I'm setting check_users (via nrpe) to warn at 1 and CRIT at 3 users --
I'm putting this on servers that, typically, have no humans logged in
at all.

Since that's true, I'd like to have the list of users from who -q
returned as part of the status message.

a) Is this a not uncommon usage, and when I patch the program, should I
therefore post and or submit a patch to do this?

b) How long can that status message become without breaking 1) nagios
and 2) nrpe?

Anyone have opinions, answers, or pointers?

Cheers,
-- jra

Subject: linux memory usage graph using nagiosgraph
Message-ID: <879d1e490804171421h645bc5nca1b1aee090d9cde@mail.gmail.com>

I am able to graph CPU statistics but not memory stats for my linux clients.

I use NRPE to monitor memory on my linux clients.


nagios graph map config is below:



# Service Type Linux Memory Check
# output:Memory Check: total:1106.54 Mb - used: 304.37 Mb (28%) - free:
802.16 Mb (72%)
 /output:Memory Check: total:([-.0-9]+) Mb - used: ([-.0-9]+) Mb \((\d+)%\)
- free: ([-.0-9]+) Mb \((\d+)%\)/
 and push @s, [ memory,
              [ bytesmax, GAUGE, $1*1024**2 ],
              [ bytesused, GAUGE, $2*1024**2 ],
              [ pctused, GAUGE, $3 ],
              [ bytesfree, GAUGE, $4*1024**2 ],
              [ pctfree, GAUGE, $5 ] ];

Could write a script that runs on the local machine(s) when called from
nagios via snmp

This will require that all snmp's are set up alike on all the local
machines, and a line formatted similarly below be added to each
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file:

exec check_users /usr/local/bin/check_users.sh

<snip>
#!/bin/bash
## Title: check_users.sh

## This will check the users logged in and report a crit if there are too
many
WHO=/usr/bin/who
WC=/usr/bin/wc
WARN=1
CRIT=3
users=`$WHO`
output=`$WHO | $WC -l`

if [ "$output" = "1" ]  || [ "$output" = "2" ]
then
RETVAL=1
elif [ "$output" -gt "2" ]
then
RETVAL=2
fi


if [ "$users" = "" ]
then
users="No users logged in"
fi

## Let's output it:
echo $users
exit $RETVAL
</snip>

Restart your snmpd

Now, from the nagios box cli:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H YOUR_HOST_TO_CHECK  -C
YOUR_SNMP_COMMUNITY_STRING -o
enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extResult.NUMBER,enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extOutput.NUMBER
-w 0 -c 1

where:
NUMBER above is actually the exec command you want to execute in the
snmpd.conf file. You can have many "exec" lines, and they are accessed via
this number. For example:

<snip from snmpd.conf>\
exec check_users /usr/local/bin/check_users.sh
exec check_procs /usr/local/bin/check_procs.sh
</snip>

If those are the only two, then you access check_users.sh by replacing
NUMBER with 1
or check_procs.sh by replacing it with 2, and so on . . . .

HTH!

...as a check_multi snippet (uses Nagios3 multiline feature):

$ cat users.cmd
command [ count ] = check_users -w 1 -c 3
command [ who_q ] = who -q | head -1

$ ./check_multi -n users -f users.cmd -r 1
users CRITICAL - 2 plugins checked, 1 critical (users), 1 ok
[ 1] users USERS CRITICAL - 3 users currently logged in
[ 2] who_q mflacke mflacke mflacke

Thank you, just committed and pushed. Will be in version 1.5.1, or in
1.6.0 if we get there first. You can grab the latest version with these
changes via git; suggestions are always welcome:

Subject: problem with service details...
Message-ID: <003201c8a117$199cdf10$42eefea9@laptopxp>

I've just installed nagios, and the client on a host windows machine,
but the nagios console in the service detail pane is showing status
unknown, and under status details I get "Server port must be an
integer".. Is there an specific port that nagios is supposed to run on
the server?.. it seems like a connection problem, well the problem is
that the server is not reading or monitoring any of the services on the
client machine.
 
Any help appreciated
 
Thanks

To All;

Is there a way to either acknowledge an alert or  turn off
checks/notifications  for a host from the command line?  This would be
useful for when you don't have your laptop with you, but you want to
acknowledge a page from nagios through a cellphone with an ssh client.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi

> And note that you cannot *comment the end of that line*.

What exactly do you mean?

Do you want to say that if I add

allowed_hosts=ip.of.nagios.server    # <comment>

to my nrpe.conf this line is not parsed an treated as if the whole line
was a comment?

This is the case in postfix configuration (and it is documented
there...)

You can acknowledge an alert using commands submitted to the external
command file:

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php

How you interface this with devices like cell phones is up to you. You could
use an SMS provider to allow you to send an SMS back to the Nagios server
and acknowledge a notification without even having to log in, potentially.

See my show_users plugin on nagiosexchange.org, it's written in bash so 
will work on all Linux boxen as well as FreeBSD or any other unicies 
that you can install Bash on.

It can take whitelists/blacklists of users, (I recommend the whitelist) 
which I use to successfully catch developers or anyone else logging in 
to any of my *nix servers that aren't on my shortlist.

You can find it here:

You missed the thrust of my question.

If you try, with dig or nslookup, and therefore no local caching, to
look that domain up 100 times, will you get 100 hits?

Same question *with* local caching.

We're about reliability on this question, I think.

Hi,

I'm sure that DNS resolution works correctly for khk23dso3.ip.tdk.dk -

I've tried to run the command manually from my nagios server 10-20 times and always got 0 in result code,
but i will try to write a loop in a script and save the resultcode.

rgds,

Peter Calum

That check-command depends on DNS resolution to work.  Are you running
an internal zone server for .ip.tdk.dk?  Have you tested to make sure
that that name can be reliably, repeatably, resolved?

Does the command return the expected results from the command line if
you run it 100 times in a row?

Cheers,

Hi
 
I'm running nagios plugins on a group of solaris 9 machines. I use the
check_by_ssh command to check disk, load ect
on the remote machines. I'm running the same check _ by _ ssh command
against a hostgroup of 15 machines, but one of them fails very often
and returns (Return code of 255 is out of bounds) on one or more
services, so services on that machine is constantly flapping. 
 
The machine which fails runs a DNS storage server application, and seems
to work fine, no errors in messages file, no counts on interfaces,
ssh and all commands runs fine and so on..
 
If i run the check_disk locally on the machine it works fine, and if i
run it manually from the nagios machine with check_by_ssh it also works
fine, but if nagios runs it it don't work ?? - and all other machines in
the same group works fine - strange
 
this is run  manually from nagios machine :
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H khk23dso3.ip.tdk.dk  -l nagios
-i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -C 'plugin/check_disk -w 25% -c 15% -l -X
devfs'
 
DISK OK - free space: / 12192 MB (92% inode=99%); /usr 12668 MB (86%
inode=95%); /var 4393 MB (69% inode=95%); /var/run 10628 MB (99%
inode=99%); /tmp 10628 MB (99% inode=99%); /opt 14585 MB (99%
inode=99%); /export/home 8499 MB (87% inode=99%);|
/=970MB;9972;11301;0;13296 /usr=1957MB;11080;12557;0;14774
/var=1890MB;4759;5394;0;6346 /var/run=0MB;7971;9033;0;10628

/export/home=1252MB;7387;8372;0;9850
   
I tried to print out the resultcode (echo $?) but i se only 0 as
resultcode. 
 
can anyone help  or give an idea on this problem
 
rgds,
Peter Calum

Yes, but that's likely going to depend on the daemon that you're running
on windows. The documentation for it should specify.

or

It seems to me that your command{} or service{} definition is invalid
and probably specifies a port flag (typically -p) but doesn't actually
specify the port number. Whatever it is might have a default if you
remove the flag or you need to specify the port number to use.

Please review the documentation for the windows daemon you're using
(nrpe_nt, etc). It should specify how to configure nagios and windows to
be successful. If you need further assistance, specific details about
the installation and program you're using on the windows side and the
relevant command{}, host{} and service{} definitions would be needed.

Any way? Yes, modify the nagios source to add that feature. Already done
way? No, none that I've ever seen.

I've written a couple of PHP scripts that handle both of those actions.

Hi,

Jay is right, the code is sprintf "%s - %s...", so there _must_ be a space
after the hyphen. 
Besides that, the nagios servide definition is a bit special (there is no
need for a command check_nrpe_log. call it check_nrpe because you want to
use it not only for check_logfiles), but it should work.

Login at rflx01app and make 
touch /tmp/check_logfiles; tail -f /tmp/check_logfiles

As long as this file exists, check_logfiles writes debugging information in
it. So you can watch, wether check_logfiles is executed at all when running
under Nagios control.
What we need to find out is, wether check_logfiles runs and produces output
which nagios doesn't accept (which would be strange, because it works when
you call check_nrpe manually) or if the error happens even before check_nrpe
is executed. Can you also have a look at the nagios.log?

Gerhard

By inspection of the nrpe.c source, my interpretation is that comments
in nrpe.conf can only be entire lines.  If you put the # sign anywhere
but column 1, then it will (attempt to) be parsed by the individual
line data "parser", and Bad Things Will Happen.

What you illustrate is exactly what I did, and that turned out to be
the reason why I couldn't get nrpe to talk (stage one).

Once you get that part right, then you'll likely have to fiddle the
arguments to check_nrpe on the monitoring server a tad (this is the
problem if all your remote checks pass, but the status on the service
detail is "NRPE v2.5.1" or suchlike).

Is there any way to change the service status into "PENDING"
by using passive check?

Thanks!

Ok, I'll try the dig command a 100 times..

But, i dont think nagios uses lookups when it runs the check_by_ssh
plugin. 
In the nagios setup i have defined the hosts as follows :

define host{
        use                     solaris-server    
        host_name               khk23dso2.ip.tdk.dk
        alias                   DNS Server 
        address                 172.17.4.37 
        }

define host{
        use                     solaris-server       
        host_name               khk23dso3.ip.tdk.dk
        alias                   DNS Storage 
        address                 172.17.4.84
        }

If i give khk23dso3.ip.tdk.dk the same ip address as khk23dso2.ip.tdk.dk
in the
host definition file, it works fine.
 
I'm just trying to find out what the difference is when i run the
check_by_ssh manually
and when it is done by nagios. But something must be wrong in
khk23dso3.ip.tdk.dk.

rgds,
Peter, 
Denmark

You missed the thrust of my question.

If you try, with dig or nslookup, and therefore no local caching, to
look that domain up 100 times, will you get 100 hits?

Same question *with* local caching.

We're about reliability on this question, I think.

Ok, recap for us.

You never see it break when you run it manually, but it breaks how
frequently when you let Nagios run it?

Side question to all: is there a way to configure nagios to drop into a
log file somewhere *precisely* what it hands off to a shell or exec
when it runs a check-command?

To debug, you need to wrap your plugin call. See this fine article:

Peter:

Correct, I run these from nagios server via the check_by_ssh plugin  

check_load
check_disk
check_swap
check_users

and they are all flapping ( 1 run OK then 3 fault?s or so)

a http server on the khk23dso3 machine are checked directly from nagios machine and reports OK all the time.      

I'll  try to make a perl script monday to make a loop run with check_by_ssh manually and save the return codes in a file.

But as you ask for : 

Side question to all: is there a way to configure nagios to drop into a
log file somewhere *precisely* what it hands off to a shell or exec
when it runs a check-command?

it would be good to trace errors ..

Just writing this i see this message from Andy Ford

To debug, you need to wrap your plugin call. See this fine article:
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=379

Thanks

Ill try that tomorrow..

Ok, recap for us.

You never see it break when you run it manually, but it breaks how
frequently when you let Nagios run it?

Side question to all: is there a way to configure nagios to drop into a
log file somewhere *precisely* what it hands off to a shell or exec
when it runs a check-command?

Could I ask a potentially stupid question?

Why check_by_ssh instead of nrpe?  Admittedly, nrpe wasn't the
*easiest* thing I've ever configured, but I did manage to get it
running reliably in about 2 hours.

Hi

I dont think the debug.sh script works with check_by_ssh, it seems that
the parameters is misunderstood in some way

the command in my services.cfg looks like this :
------------------------------------------------
define service{
        use                             local-service         ; Name of
service template to use
        hostgroup_name                  SUN240, SUN440, SUN480, RHEL,
TSP4
        host_name                       khk23dsg6.ip.tdk.dk
        service_description             DISK
        check_command                   check_by_ssh! -l nagios -i
/home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -C 'plugin/check_disk -w 25% -c 15% -l -X
devfs'
        notifications_enabled           1
        }

I think maybe the 'plugin/check_disk -w 25% -c 15% -l -X devfs' gives
the problem 
(on the host called by check_by_ssh the plugins is in 'plugin/' under
the nagios user account)

Hi

The reason that i use check_by_ssh is :

- we would have to make a lot of FW setup to allow the nrpe port
- i could get problems with some of the owners of the delivered software on the platform (IP telephony/Centrex)
  if i installed nrpe.      
- it was easy to set up with ssh keys from the nagios machine - and security was ok
- i read in the documentation that running check_by_ssh would not have performance impact up to 100-200 hosts,
  i have about 50 hosts now. 
    
rgds,
Peter

Why check_by_ssh instead of nrpe?  Admittedly, nrpe wasn't the

Message-ID: <20080420175347.GA24206@cgi.jachomes.com>

I've seen the temperature monitor stuff Ethan has links to on the
website, but I'm the new guy, and I don't have a budget quite yet.

LaCrosse, for example, has 10-channel capable wireless temp and
possible temp/hyg sensor/transmitters for very close to $20 each... but
while they have a PC interface, it's not clear at all whether the
interface has its own 433MHz receiver, and indeed, whether it's
multi-channel.

Has anyone else played at all with this sort of low-end environmental
monitoring of multiple channels?  (I want to put 5 or 6 temp sensors
and a hyg sensor in my machine room, and temp sensors in each of my 4
breaker panels, to start.  $150 sensors are a non-starter)

Cheers,

As tacky as it is to folo yourself, this page 

http://www.cheapertronics.com/product_details.php?category_id=64&item_id=25

may prove interesting on this front.  Though I'm not clear whether
those sensors are addressable.  [ looks further ]  3-channel
apparently.  But the concept appears possible.

No, that state is generated internally by Nagios. It is nagios-specific 
(the service has not yet been checked), so logically, it does not make 
sense to set it to this externally...
It is pending when you start nagios, before a check is entered.
What is the use case? There may be another way to get the result you 
desire.

Hello Thomas,

I am planning to use this feature in the cluster environment.

>It is pending when you start nagios, before a check is entered.
>What is the use case? There may be another way to get the result you 
>desire.

The idea is :

1. Enable active checks for servers that are in RUNNING status.
2. Disable active checks for servers that are in WAIT status.
and set the Service Status "PENDING"

	We are using centreon 1.4.2.3 with nagios 3 in a test environment and
we don't have any problem. The only problem could be that with this
configuration we can't use nagios 3 specific features.

Well, i tried it some time ago (when it was named oreon), but it
didn't support all the configuration directives for Nagios v2, like
$ADDRESSN$ (if I remember right) so it's useless for us, as we have
nagios running already for many years with a currently long and
complex configuration (the reason to try oreon/centreon) and need it
to just work after migration to Centreon.

Regards.

I have been playing with 1-Wire with the thought to write my own  
plugin using OWFS, but that has gone on the back burner lately.

Good Morning guys,

You guys are awesome!!!!!! Well I don't know exactly what did it but its
working!...

I changed the check_nrpe_log to check_nrpe and I ran the touch command you
asked me to run and when I restarted nagios boom it worked.

And btw the hyphen was an error on my part..I copied and pasted the output
into the email but I must have touched the mousepad or something and removed
the space. I think I just needed a break. I was out Friday which is why
didn't respond sooner.

Thanks once again...

Cheers,

VL

Hi, 

> CRITICAL -(17 errors, 1 warning) - [4/17/08 13:51:42:420 EDT] 00000037
Jay is right, the code is sprintf "%s - %s...", so there _must_ be a space
after the hyphen. 
Besides that, the nagios servide definition is a bit special (there is no
need for a command check_nrpe_log. call it check_nrpe because you want to
use it not only for check_logfiles), but it should work.

Login at rflx01app and make 
touch /tmp/check_logfiles; tail -f /tmp/check_logfiles

As long as this file exists, check_logfiles writes debugging information in
it. So you can watch, wether check_logfiles is executed at all when running
under Nagios control.
What we need to find out is, wether check_logfiles runs and produces output
which nagios doesn't accept (which would be strange, because it works when
you call check_nrpe manually) or if the error happens even before check_nrpe
is executed. Can you also have a look at the nagios.log?

Gerhard

in identifying the proper OIDs to do this with SNMP.  Anyway guidance would
be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Denis

Hi,
 
Have a look at http://snmp4nagios.sourceforge.net
<http://snmp4nagios.sourceforge.net/> . Sorry, I didn't find any OID for
memory obviously, but
cpuusage, number of connections, fans, temperatures, throughput and
voltages can be checked. (You can
find the OIDs in the ALTIGA*MIBs btw.)
 
CU
Peter

Also, it's all cabled together with inexpensive satin cable and RJ11  
plugs, probably more reliable to use a powered hub though if you have  
more than a few sensors, but you can always try that later if you have  
problems.  You do have to be careful which pin goes to ground or + it  
probably won't damage anything but the device will not be seen if you  
cross the wires.  Cheap "biscuit" phone jack can be useful for testing  
and troubleshooting, that makes it easy to switch + and ground if you  
think that may be the problem.  Finally, a use for all of that Mac  
PhoneNet / Gator / serial Terminal Server junk that you never quite  
got around to throw away, lol.

Subject: nagios check_time and IPsrcaddr from heartbeat
Message-ID: <480CC228.90204@laposte.net>

Hi,

I have somes problems using check_time with IPsrcaddr from heartbeat :

When I use IPsrcaddr, the node (eth0) does not respond to check_time
requests from my nagios server. But I get answers when the requests are
sent on the HA IP (virtual IP or eth0:0).

On the other hand, if I deactivate the use of IPsrcaddr, the node
(physical node, aka eth0) starts responding to check_time requests but
it stops responding when requests are sent to the virtual IP.

So, I was wondering if it was possible to make check_time work in both
case. Well, It would be great in my case...

Thanks for a little help


PS : check_time works well on my standalone servers but it doesn't on my
clusters where I'm used to use IPsrcaddr.

Subject: Host checks under Nagios 1.x
Message-ID: <027a01c8a3df$24b3b250$800101df@andrew2>

I've got an interesting problem with a particular setup.  I'm monitoring a
number of servers that the main Nagios installation doesn't have direct
network access to, so I pass all of the host and service checks through an
NRPE installation that can communicate with both Nagios and the servers
being monitored.  A little tweaking with check timeouts and whatnot and this
setup works pretty nicely.  I've run into a problem where for some reason,
the NRPE server periodically stops responding to NRPE requests.  Haven't
gotten to the bottom of that (Connection refused) yet.  Service checks are
able to handle the problem fine as the duration of the NRPE outage is much
shorter than the time it takes for the services to go into a hard critical
state.  The problem is, once the first service check goes through and goes
into a soft critical state, that triggers the host checks which also fail
(host checks go through NRPE as well) and immediately generate a
notification.  I'd like to find a way to make the host checks a little more
forgiving as well.

A few things I've thought of or tried:

1.  I tried bumping up the host check retries to 30, but since the checks
immediately fail with "connection refused" it runs through all 30 tries
within just a few seconds.  I also worry about this leading to unneeded load
on the Nagios server since this is generally going to cause check_nrpe to be
run 30 times, for each of the ~20 servers in this setup.

2.  Extending the timeout on the check_nrpe commands doesn't help because
"connection refused" is returned immediately.

3.  Switching to a passive setup is probably the way to go, but for now am
trying to avoid all the reconfiguration needed to move in that direction.


Ideally what I'd like to be able to do is have the host checks retry on a
particular interval (i.e. once per second) rather than instantly after the
previous executed.  Is there a way to do this?

Incidentally, while typing up this email I was actually able to find the
root problem with the NRPE setup.  NRPE was being called via Xinetd which
wasn't configured to allow enough simultaneous connections for a single
service.  Thus when it started getting hammered with NRPE requests as a
result of the host check configuration it would stop allowing NRPE
connections for 30 seconds.  A quick change to the Xinetd config file seems
to have solved the problem.

I'm still interested to know how anyone handles the situation where a host
may be unresponsive to host checks for a period of time yet you only wish to
fire off a notification after a specific period of time.  Would a wrapper
around the host check be the only way to handle it?

Andrew

Really only by upgrading to nagios-3. You _could_ wrap your host check
in a script that issues a sleep() after each run but this will play
havoc with your other checks. Nagios versions prior to v3 will stop
_all_ other processing until the host check completes
(max_check_attempts is reached). Nagios-3 introduces significantly
better host checking methodology.

Subject: Host checks under Nagios 1.x
In-Reply-To: <027a01c8a3df$24b3b250$800101df@andrew2>

I had a similar problem to this.  I only wanted to know if a
not-so-important device had been down for an hour or more.

Here's what I ended up doing:
I disabled the host check (by having it call an "always-ok" checkcommand
that always returns 0.)  I then added a 'PING' service to the host with
a max_check_attempts of 7, and a retry_check_interval of 10 minutes.

The pitfall being that I no longer receive 'HOST DOWN' alerts for that
host.  I instead receive alerts for a failing 'PING' service.

Quite so.

So my current list of things I want to monitor (and will have to find
sensors for) is 

  Machine room temp (5 racks, plus probably 4 other locations and AC
    outlet temps)
  Machine room humidity
  Power panel temp (3 panels)
  Current and voltage per leg (240 3-phase, closed delta)

The temp and humidity are walk-ons.  Power panel temps are a bit
harder, but I saw thermocouple temp sensors.  The power and voltage,
now... that's going to be dicey.  I can get voltage off a receptacle
installed for the purpose, or in a box downstream of a breaker, but the
current I have to pull right off the feed wires, and I'm playing hell
finding UL rated AC current sensors that will measure 200A RMS AC, much
less ones that are 1-wire...

Cheers,

I'd seen those, and the USB transceiver as well, which is nice.

Yeah.  I'm prepared for that.

Well, it's not PDU; I'm trying to meter the building service, which is
three separate panels with a 200A breaker each, and runs a bit warmer
than I'm comfortable with.

Commercial solutions for this are $5k, which I won't get.

A couple hours of an electrician on a Saturday, to put boxes in front
of the panels to loop the feeders through, to where I can separate
them, and put CTs on them in a box with no exposed HV, yeah.

I'm just a geek, is the answer; I want to monitor *everything*.

Subject: SMS issue Nagios 3.0
Message-ID: <6504836CA50DCC49B810660A47AA91AC1E8799@exchange.ACE1.NET>

Hi

 

I have installed Nagios 3.0 and I have some issues with Nagios sending
sms-messages. I have installed smstools, and sendsms works fine from the
command line. But when I want Nagios to send a notification, it fails.
Could this be because of wrong user rights? I have changed the owner of
sendsms to Nagios, but that didn't help.

 

Entry in my command.cfg:

 

# 'notify-by-sms' command definition

define command{

            command_name            notify-by-sms

            command_line   /usr/local/bin/sendsms $PAGER$ "Nagios:
Service $SERVICEDESC$ on $HOSTALIAS$ is in state: $SERVICESTATE$"

            }

 

# 'host-notify-by-sms' command definition

define command{

            command_name            host-notify-by-sms

            command_line   /usr/local/bin/sendsms $PAGER$ "Nagios: Host
$HOSTNAME$ ($HOSTADDRESS$) is in state: $HOSTSTATE$"

            }

 

Entry in my contacts.cfg:

 

define contact{

        contact_name                    schou-sms

        alias                                  Henrik Schou

        service_notification_period     smshours

        host_notification_period        smshours

        service_notification_options    c,r

        host_notification_options       d,r

        service_notification_commands   notify-by-sms

        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-sms

        pager                                xxxxxxxxxx

             can_submit_commands                         1

        }

 

Any ideas?

 

/Henrik

Have you tested it by becoming the nagios user and using the exact
commandline from your definition?

Tests run as root or another user are not relevant. You need to know
what happens as the nagios user.

So `su - nagios` and test again.

Have a short look at /var/spool/sms, which user owns the directories? Simply 
add the nagios user to the group which owns these directories. (Don't know 
which Distribution you're using, so it could be differ from distribution to 
distribution)

Subject: FW:  FW:  SMS issue Nagios 3.0
Message-ID: <6504836CA50DCC49B810660A47AA91AC1E87C7@exchange.ACE1.NET>

Now I can send SMS' as the nagios user from the command line to my mobile, using sendsms xxxxxxxxxx test.

If I try to send using the command: /usr/local/bin/sendsms $PAGER$ "Nagios: Service $SERVICEDESC$ on $HOSTALIAS$ is in state: $SERVICESTATE$"

Nothing happens, the command doesn't create an error, so I guess it might be my contacts.cfg's $PAGER$ which are causing my problem now??

Subject: HOST/SERVICE VIEW ACCESS
Message-ID: <c7b26fad0804220506j2fa0e93o356c7a957700d78f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

By default, users can only view information for hosts or services that they
are contacts for. In my installation I have setup only some contacts to view
only their hosts and some services of those hosts. But when they log in they
can view all the services for those hosts. Is this a bug?

Thanks,
-john

It's certain to be a misconfiguration issue. A educated guess based on
the (no) information you've provided would be to check the
authorized_for_* variables.

If that is the precise command line you used for manually testing, it
will fail because $PAGER$ (and the others) have no meaning for the
shell. The idea was to substitute in the appropriate values for those
variables for you test.

This issue still exists.  I can't see how it can be anything other

Good Morning List,


I am having the same problem.  What is happening is on the switch over
day (Monday at 08:00) between analyst1 and sysadmin, analyst1 is still
getting pages from Nagios,  forturnally, so is the sysadmin, but, if I
have my configs right, the analyst1 should not be getting pages.  The
logs for Nagios indicate that both are still being paged.  On Tuesday,
(which is the second day in the rotation) the analyst stops getting
pages.  Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Robert

This issue still exists.  I can't see how it can be anything other
than a bug but I would like some clarification.  Anyone else doing
something like this?

Hi Henrik,
I can recommend using the script located at this page:

http://www.waggy.at/nagios/capture_plugin.htm

It helps you to capture the output from the script you are trying to
run, and will hopefully help you to figure out what is causing the
problem.
There are good configuration examples on the page as well.

Best regards,

Dan

AFAIK nagios handles this as follows:

If you are in a contactgroup of a service, you are allowed to see this 
service
If you are in a contactgroup of a host, you are allowed to see this host 
+ all services of that host

That's Nagios default.

But I've seen a patch a long time ago in the deep net to eleminate the 
"+ all services" behavior.

Just my 2 Cents.

Regards,
Hendrik

Hendrick is correct in his response. I mis-interpreted what you were
trying to accomplish. See the section below the table at --

Subject: check App Communication to DB
Message-ID: <003301c8a493$fe7e7fb0$49070a0a@sentinel>

Hi all,

 

I have need for Nagios to call a URL to determine if our Application is able
to communicate with our DB2 database. Basically I don't want Nagios to check
if it can communicate with the DB but to check if the App does instead.

 

The URL I'm mentioning returns the text "Database read successful" if it
indeed can communicate with the DB. Currently we call this URL manually by
entering it into our web browser, but would like to integrate it into
Nagios. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can accomplish this?

 

Thanks a great deal

 

- VL

Hendrick,
In your e-mail you stated that there was a patch somewhere. Would you know
where to find it.

Thanks,

It  was posted in 2006 and there s no solution posted.

It's not a nagios issue.

The log entries are valid and are from sshd. Check_ssh doesn't complete
a login so sshd complains appropriately. The options, as I see them are
--

- Modify sshd to not log those (probably not a good idea).
- change your check methodology. Perhaps use check_by_ssh to run
check_dummy on the remote machine perhaps.

Subject: Nagios 2.10 and circular path tests
Message-ID: <CEF4FB1B-C302-49BC-A32E-6595D9C0EBD3@hennessy.cx>

I have about 2300 services being checked in my Nagios setup, and a  
bunch of them are dependent upon regexes.  I also have over 100000  
service dependencies which also depend on regexes.  It takes upwards  
of two hours for Nagios to restart.  Is there anything that I can do  
to mitigate this in 2.x?  I'm aware of the mechanism in 3.x to do it,  
but I'm afraid that my config would require substantial reworking to  
conform with 3.x and there's no install RPM for Centos 5.x for Nagios  
3.x that I can find publicly.

Please Advise

Subject: Issues getting check_nt -v COUNTERS to work...
Message-ID: <3C182837-0420-4922-A0B5-BD1EAF5215EA@umn.edu>

All-

For whatever reason, I cannot get a check_nt -v COUNTER check to work  
through nagios itself. I can run this:
	[root at narsil plugins]# sudo -u nagios ./check_nt -H 192.168.110.84 -p  
5667 -v COUNTER -l "\\SQLServer:General Statistics\\User Connections"

And it responds with:
	53

But with the check defined (details below) and run through nagios, the  
GUI shows critical and "Name or service not known"


Any idea what the issue might be? I am sure I've missed something  
simple...

Here's the grit:

nagios-plugins-nt-1.4.11-2.fc8
	check_nt v1590 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11)
nagios-2.11-3.fc8
opmon 2.7.1.0


SQL Connections Check:
define command {
     command_name check_nt_mssql_conns
     command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H %HOSTADDRESS% -p $ARG1$ -v  
COUNTER -l "\\SQLServer:General Statistics\\User Connections"
     }

Service Definition:
define service {
     use                     informational-service
     host_name               sql
     service_description     MS_SQL_User_Connections
     contact_groups          windows-admins
     check_command           check_nt_mssql_conns!5667
}

If I run the same command with my number instead of $pager$ I receive a
SMS. Therefore I assume that it must be the $pager$ part that is wrong??

If that is the precise command line you used for manually testing, it
will fail because $PAGER$ (and the others) have no meaning for the
shell. The idea was to substitute in the appropriate values for those
variables for you test.

That's what Marc said, yes.

$PAGER$ is a 'variable' *to Nagios*.

It is not a variable *in the shell*.

If you're manually testing a nagios commandline in the shell, you have
to substitute in valid values for the values by hand.

Cheers

Subject: NC_Net Testers needed- Windows Monitoring
Message-ID: <c4515bfd0804221925g20dd58efl5897923bf15e5b9f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi List;

Well its been a very busy year for me,  but the long awaited next release of
NC_NEt is almost complete.
a few items have been added to NC_Net and I could use a few users to help
testing before the official release.
Email me at NC_Net at Montitech.com and I respond with the current Test
version.
The Only download Source of NC_NEt is on SourceForgeL
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

Fore those not familiar with NC_Net:
NC_NEt is a Windows plugin, that can submit passive checks using NSCA  or be
active checks using check_nt for standard tests or  check_nc_net that not
only allows access to the extra NC_NEt commands but is fully compatible with
any plugin that uses check_nt. NC_NEt offers simple
installation with additional configuration when using standard defaults.

NC_NEt offers all the command that check_nt has, as well as, Event Logs,
WMI, Script Running, Enumeration Commands, Remote configuration, Grouping
checks into a single command.  Security features include, IP or FQDN testing
of incomming Active checks, Stripping  Relative Paths out of Script Calls,
XOR (Default) NSCA, and naturally changing the Password of check_nt.
Alternate Encryption can be used with NSCA though using win32_send_nsca.


This version is still using Dot Net 2.0 and will be the last release before
upgrading to Dot Net 3.5

IT would be nice to get some feedback from 64Bit Servers, and Vista USers.

Thank you
TOny

NC_Net is opensource and does not require any fees,
however, donations for NC_NEt are appreciated and accepted through paypal at
Montitech.com

As I mentioned, it's a long time ago I've seen this patch.

I have to ask the google oracle or www.altinity.org, too.

Message-ID: <480EDCC3.6010100@camptocamp.com>

Hi!
I have some problem with check_load plugin : I can't manage to have what 
I want.

For now, I have these settings :

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 13,15,25 -c 30,35,40

But nagios warn

WARNING - load average: 2.39, 4.89, 5.30

It's a bit... annoying. I just don't understand what's wrong with my 
configuration.

If you have an idea/solution...

Thanks in advance!

Regards

C. Jeanneret

Hello all,

I have a problem with the start script (/etc/init.d/nagios)
Sometimes, when I stop or restart Nagios, I have a timeout. Then Nagios
crash and it does not restart correctly and starts with the old
configuration.
kill -9 permits to stop all processes nagios.
What can I check on my server to fix this bug ?
Nagios Version is 2.9.

Thanks for your answer

1. I won't believe that "The Noob" is written in your birth certificate
2. x-posting won't help you getting usefull answers
3. after deciding wich mailing list you want - give us more informations 
(do you use 'restart', 'reload', 'magic')
4. it might be the known behavior, that nagios 2.x won't exit correctly 
if a hostcheck is just running - have a look in your nagios.cfg about 
host_check_timeout and set a sleep "that_value +1" between stop and 
start of your init script

@Lists: Sorry for x-posting again ;)

Afaik, you can change it. Write it to the external command file, var/rw/nagios.cmd, something like;
[1208943268] PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;<server name>;<service name>;0;<result from check>


You can read more about passive checks on http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/passivechecks.html and external command file on http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#command_file

Hello Thomas,

I am planning to use this feature in the cluster environment.

The idea is :

1. Enable active checks for servers that are in RUNNING status.
2. Disable active checks for servers that are in WAIT status.
and set the Service Status "PENDING"

Hah, that's probably my fault that got started. Sorry, I know how it  
feels. Here in the US, Marc is typically spelled with a 'k' so I see  
that transposition a lot...

Were these thresholds ever that low? Did you restart/reload nagios  
after changing them? Are you sure it restarted?

Subject: Down/unreachable confusion
Message-ID: <827FB901-76E3-46CE-AD54-476F48742AF2@frontierflying.com>

I have a host being monitored in nagios 3.0 that fluctuates between  
being down and unreachable. The periods where it is listed as  
unreachable typically only last a few seconds to a minute (I didn't  
even think it was checking that often, but whatever), while the  
periods of "down" time (the host really is down) are several hours in  
duration. Naturally, every time it fluctuates back to down (only up  
and down alerts are enabled for this host-not unreachable), it sends  
out an alert, which gets a little annoying.

This all would make sense, however, except for one thing: this host's  
parent, and all other parents back up the tree to nagios are listed as  
being solidly up as far back as the records go. So why is it briefly  
switching to an "unreachable" state, and how can I make it stop? Or at  
the very least, how can I make it stop sending alerts every time it  
switches between these two critical states? Thanks.

Subject: Special characters in services.cfg file
Message-ID: <480FA9B9.6000903@chrisdos.com>

I'm having problem getting a command to run in services.cfg file when it works fine from the command line.

>From the command line:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H 10.20.40.41 -w 2 -c 5 -t 10 -u
http://cleopatra/userservice/signup/getstates.flx -T 'text/xml' -P '<request foruser="1" forgroup="1"

Time|-7|0|1|0|3|0|1|2|0|11|0|0|2|0"> <getStates countryid="1" /> </request>' -s 'Colorado'

results in:
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0.004 second response time

Putting in services.cfg:
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       Cleopatra
        service_description             HTTP_Post_States
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           1
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  Admins_E-mails,Admins_Pagers
        notification_interval           30
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_http!-w 2 -c 5 -t 10 -u
http://cleopatra/userservice/signup/getstates.flx -T 'text/xml' -P '<request foruser="1" forgroup="1"

Time|-7|0|1|0|3|0|1|2|0|11|0|0|2|0"> <getStates countryid="1" /> </request>'
        }

In the nagios web page I get an error of "no output"

I've narrowed it down to a problem in the Post section.  Are there any characters in this request that would
prevent it from working in the services.cfg file?

Wow. That may be the ugliest check command I've ever seen. :)

What's your definition for the check_http check command look like?

I'd normally suggest you set up a specialized check command for this
rather than to try to pass all those parameters in the service
definition, but that's up to you.

Yea, it's the most awful check I've been ask to set up.

I've been taking out characters to try and find the culprit.  It seems that it does not like a semicolon.  Is
there any way to escape this character?

I've figured out a solution to my problem.  XML needs a ampersand and since it's a special character it needs
to encode it as &amp;.  Since Nagios interprets everything after the semicolon as a comment, and this is a
http post, I was able to URL encode it.  So this "&amp;" translates into "%26amp%3B".  Though it would be nice
if Nagios includes some way of escape a semicolon for other problems.

Hi,

do you have the nrpe-daemon running on the remote machine and did you 
open the needed ports on your firewalls?

Kind regards, Dennis

Hi there,

> Connection refused by host

Check if the port 5666 is open on remotemachine with your favorite 
portscanner, and maybe check, if a firewall is blocking access to 
nrpe-port 5666 on the linux-host (remotemachine).
Did you configure xinetd according to 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf ?

Can you successfully ping "remotemachine" at least?

Maybe, go beyond reading the README-File and read the whole NRPE.pdf, 
there are a lot of troubleshooting-hints which might help a lot.

Greetz,
Marcus

Hi again,

like Marcus just wrote check if you did these steps, regarding the 
documentation(especially restarting the xinetd):
##############
Install the NRPE daemon as a service under xinetd.
make install-xinetd
Edit the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file and add the IP address of the 
monitoring server to the only_from directive.
only_from = 127.0.0.1 <nagios_ip_address>
Add the following entry for the NRPE daemon to the /etc/services file.
nrpe 5666/tcp # NRPE
Restart the xinetd service.
service xinetd restart
#############

Kind regards, Dennis

Check the system-log /var/log/messages and see, what xinetd is doing. 
Check xinetd is running with "pidof xinetd" or alternatively with ps -ef 
| grep xinetd.
Maybe something went wrong there. Any errors in the log?

Hi All,

I have two loadbalancers in active-passive mode. I would like to know 
when a failover happens.

I don't want the service to become critical, unknown or warning I just 
want to know when it occurs. Is this somehow possible with nagios?

A push in the right direction would be nice :-)

Regards,

Sander

The above line states the problem.

can you post a "grep nrpe /etc/services" and maybe also your 
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file?
Maybe you've got a typo in /etc/services.
I don't know what else it could be...

  Marcus

Hm here's a push:

Why not monitor the syslog or similar, for a failover taking place. I 
assume there is something logged somewhere when this happens.
Then have an email sent to your address. :-)

Maybe you don't even need nagios for that one ... 
(http://www2.logwatch.org:81/ could help).

Maybe your loadbalancer is even snmp-capable, and could send out a trap. 
(Who knows, since you weren't too specific about your setup...)

Just to be certain because I've never seen xinetd complain
inappropriately -- This is on the _remote_ box, correct? You've added
nrpe to xinetd and restarted on the remote box, correct?

Subject: NRPE vs NSCA benchmarking
Message-ID: <48109402.7050102@pinottinet.com>

Hi everybody,

has anyone of you ever tried to benchmark NRPE and NSCA performance?
It's acknowledged that passive checks (NSCA) move the load from Nagios
server to monitored machines, so from a Nagios point of view they need
less resources. But how much less?

I'm trying to design a distributed monitoring setup to hold a total
amount of 15-20K services, so I have:
- 1 master Nagios server with ALL 15K services (passive)
- an undefined number of slave server each monitoring a portion of the
15K services

The slaves perform the checks and report the result to the master.
This is the point: how should the slave perform the checks? NRPE or NSCA?

I thought about some pros and cons, here is the result:

NRPE PROS: centralized configuration, less error prone

NRPE CONS: centralized load causes limited scalability

NSCA PROS/CONS: the opposite

Any other suggestion or benchmarking tool/approach would be appreciated.

Bye
Maurizio Pinotti

Thanks for your answer. I can make the loadbalancer snmp capable. It's 
just a linux virtual server setup (IPVS) with keepalived.

I can also let it send an email to me. That's no problem. I just thought 
that since I'm using nagios anyway, why not use it to alert me when a 
failover occurs.

Greets,

Sander

I contest this assertion.

I'm setting up nrpe just now, and the fact that you effectively have to
duplicate the configuration -- you have to define the check commands
both in nrpe.cfg on the target, *and* in the .cfg file for that server
on the monitoring server -- is one of the things that's bugging the
crap out of me.

I can see situations where it could be useful -- such as monitoring
machines outside your administrative span of control -- but how often
do you do that?

I'm just not sure I can envision a *better* architecture for it, either...

Cheers,

Subject: Nagios alerts via Windows Messenger
Message-ID: <DBB47868723D4448A3BF45009E7DB9840D65B8@NIHCESMLBX15.nih.gov>

This may be an oft-asked question, but I haven't found any mention in
recent archives.

I'm experimenting with using the Windows Messenger service (NOT MSN
Messenger) to send alerts.  Basically Nagios calls "smbclient -M
some_host", and a message pops up on some_host with whatever text I pipe
into smbclient.

The problem is, using smbclient I need to specify which host to send the
message to.  I'd much rather send the message to whichever host a
particular user is logged into.  I know it's possible: running "net send
username text_of_message" in a Windows command shell will do this.  But
I don't know what SMB domain magic happens to tell "net" what machine
"username" is logged into.

Has anyone ever successfully done this, perchance?

Hi,

Just to be certain because I've never seen xinetd complain

nrpe to xinetd and restarted on the remote box, correct?

yes i added in the remote host under xinetd n restart the xinetd service
still i cant able to see the nrpe running!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you won't see nrpe 'running' unless xinetd is actively handling a
request. That's what xinetd does. Do you still see the xinetd error
after restarting xinetd? Can you telnet to port 5666 of your remote box?
Have you considered running nrpe in daemon mode if you can't figure out
the nuances of xinetd?

I haven't, but I would suggest that it might be productive to aim
tcpdump at that segment and let Windows do it.  You might gain some
useful insight as to how they're doing it... which combined with the
smbclient sources, might tell you if it's possible.

Of course, that's probably a last resort, but at least it's one you
have.  :-)

Subject: Trouble-shooting nagiosgrapher
Message-ID: <30AC76EF-0BE9-4A89-98CC-BECD144799E5@umn.edu>

Is there any decent documentation for nagiosgrapher or boards that I  
can search that are not in german?

I've got it setup and configured but the one graph that I've  
configured give me an image with this error:

RRD Error: opening /var/lib/nagios/rrd/linux_narsil/': Permission denied

That dir is:

[root at narsil nagios]# ls -lahR
.:

I'd appreciate a kick in the right direction or some a decent howto...

Thanks!

Hope the above helps. I do believe your web instance of nagios
is run by the apache user, so you have to make sure that the
directory permissions allows the apache process to write and
create files.

Subject: Using NRPE-NT to check WMI on Windows Server
Message-ID: <1689390EF608584D85BA56D958A5D1E45A10D59B14@CorpExMBS1.arcadis-us.com>

Question for the Window's gurus out there. I'm not really a 'windows guy' and don't have access to the Windows servers that I've been asked to monitor. Therefore, I'm using the NRPE VBScript setup developed by Groundwork to monitor some Windows servers via WMI. The NRPE-NT service runs on one box which I do have control over and this is also where the VBScript plugins live.

When running NRPE-NT as my own Windows account, I can check services on File/Print servers, but not Domain Controllers. I tried several other accounts that have various levels of access and receive different errors. I've been reduced to having one of our Domain Admins run this service under his account, which works. This was done temporarily to test that this method is possible, but cannot be used as a permanent solution. The goal is to have NRPE-NT run as an account with the minimum level of permissions to perform these service checks.

What level of access does the account that runs the NRPE-NT service need to have on all of the servers in order to function properly?
Thank you,

Subject: Hosts reboots too fast for check_alive notification
Message-ID: <BCDBE043B52EBF43A3A7503B1DCB0819019FCF89@mse12be1.mse12.exchange.ms>

When one of my hosts reboots I'm never notified about the outage.
Currently I'm using a custom script  S99bootnotify to alert me when a
host comes online, is there any way to shorten the polling for
check_alive? I find it strange that a host could reboot and nagios not
detect that outage. 

 

Thanks.

What version of nagios are you using?

With nagios-2.x and prior, hosts are never checked unless a service on
the host returns a non-OK result. Hosts are then checked with the host's
check_command, up to max_check_attempts, with no pause between attempts.
The end of that check process, which should be quick if you've followed
the recommendations, will be the status of the host.

It appears to me you might need to adjust your service check_interval to
be less than the time it takes to reboot _or_ find a better way of
knowing when the host reboots (uptime, timestamp on a file, log entries,
etc...).

if the goal is to notify a windows user and you know the windows command to
do this,

Why not use NRPE or NC_NEt's runscript to run a script that preforms
thisaction as part of your notification command?

Each WIndows element and WMI stuff require different permissions,

When using WMI, you have access to do almost anything,
for example when query for users WMI contacts the primary domain controler
and waits for its results of all users in the Domamin.  Naturally this
requires higher permissions than just qurying processes running in your user
space.

To minimize your headacks, I assunme you want to test many system stats that
only System, Network Services or Administrators have access.
If this is true,Try to convince the domain admins to approve all your
scripts as non-destructive scripts.  Then  get the Domain Admins to add a
user with thesse administrator permissions, then restict that user to no
logon rights, and only rights to access the particular NRPE port.

I hope this helps

Thank you Tony,
I see that you're the author of NC_Net, and I think you sent a message the other day stating that there was a newly released version.
What are your thoughts on doing things the way I described below vs. using NC_Net (or any agent).
Pros, cons, reason to use both?

Thanks,
Garry

What level of access does the account that runs the NRPE-NT service need to have on all of the servers in order to function properly?

We use smbclient for notification and just specify the user instead of
the machine, we have a Windows Domain, probably that affects the
behaviour.

You could have the server fire a script during reboots that submits a
check result to nagios via NSCA.  It might be a little more elaborate
than what you were looking for, but it will always catch a reboot even
when a host check misses it.

It's important to note that multiple NSCA results can be sent per
connection.  This makes it slightly more load/network friendly when you
have a lot of services.  However, taking advantage of this benefit will
increase the complexity of your check submission script.

Probably the above line is the culprit  ;-)
You have to put the nagios-servers address instead of localhost, so it 
is allowed to invoke the service.

Have a look in the man of xinetd.conf and search for "only_from".

This looks suspicious!

Why don't you just put
only_from       = 127.0.0.1 your.nagi.os.ip

where "your.nagi.os.ip" is the real ip-adress from your nagios-server, 
of course. Then, a last time, restart the xinetd-server. Then it should 
run. No need to chicken out of nrpe ;-)

Best regards,
  Marcus

Sure, you can use nmap-based checks for udp/tcp-services, I guess, and 
you can always use snmp-checks, which some people prefer, because you 
can do a lot of stuff with it. (At least that was what I read on the 
snmp-check-homepage ;-) http://nagios.manubulon.com/ )

Hth,

if we downloaded the package for example check_snps_process.pl, we need to
run configure n make all than we need deploy to monitor rite???

or any process is there to place this plugin

Maybe you should open another thread for this snmp-stuff, reformulating 
your question. (I don't quite get it, what you are trying to do, and 
alas my crystal ball is in repair.)

But I don't quite understand, why you don't just put that line in your 
xinetd-configuration right, like described in the fabulous manual.

Subject: Hostcontacts don't want to see every Service
Message-ID: <200804251051.10143.ck@iphh.net>

Hi,

I would like to activate a service check that checks for debian-packages that 
have to be updated.  But my problem ist, that when debian releases a security 
update, there will be an alarm for every host.
This will make the Webinterface very cluttered.
So I would like to have a group which ist the contactgroup for all hosts, but
does not see the debian-package-service. Is this possible ?
Usually the contactgroup for a host can see every service on that host. 
At the moment I have  created a dedicated new host with all the package-checks 
on the different hosts as services. It works, but is not very nice. Are there 
better ways ?

Best regards,
      Christoph

Hi Christoph,

have a look on cgi/cgiauth.c Line 270

<snip>
    270         /* if this user is authorized for this host, they are for all services on it as well... */
    271         /* if(is_authorized_for_host(temp_host,authinfo)==TRUE)
    272                 return TRUE;
    273         */

Change Line 271...272 and recompile your cgis

J?rg

I use gnokii. I have used a Telular GSM SX5D and currently use an
Easygate analog fixed cellular terminal (via serial port). Gnokii is
avaialble in Debian Etch and supports a lot of mobile phones. Check
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Config for a partial list of
supported phones. The atgen driver in gnokii supports lots of phones.

/etc/gnokiirc looks like this

[global]
port = /dev/ttyS0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]
[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off



Notify command for service notifications looks like this

echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME
$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >>
/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1

For host notifications this does the job

echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log
2>&1

Hello! Could anyone please assist me in troubleshooting the following task:

I've bought a TC-35i GSM modem and connect it to my linux Debian box.
Everything works fine and I can successfully send sms using the following
command:

echo "some test text" | gnokii --sendsms myNumber

The problem is that nagios can't send sms using gnokii and I can't figure
out why Peter's script (I add it to my message in the bottom) won't work for
me.

The command for nagios is:

define command{
        command_name notify-service-by-email
	  command_line echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME
$" |gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1
        }

I got the following message in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log:

[1209125514] SERVICE ALERT: vector;Check SMTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;Connection
refused
[1209125574] SERVICE ALERT: vector;Check SMTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;Connection

[1209125634] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagiosadmin;vector;Check

Thanks in advance,
			Ilya.

Hi!
Nagios, by default will use DNS to determine which mail server to use.

The most accurate answer is that nagios doesn't use one and doesn't  
need to know anything about it.

Your notification commands probably use the /bin/mail(x) mail _client_  
to transmit notifications. Those programs then submit the  
notifications to the SMTP server running on localhost (sendmail,  
postfix, qmail, etc) for final delivery. If you are wanting to change  
the SMTP server that those use, you'll need to modify their  
configuration to smarthost to that other machine.

There's also a FAQ with some alternatives.

Intentionally coded and documented that way, so feature.

Ask on nagios-devel. They don't live here.

the machine where nagios is installed uses postfix as smtp. I know this might be off-topic, but any idea where to look so that I verify to which server postfix relays the email?

actually we upgraded our exchange mail server and we want to shutdown the old one. My worries is that nagios (now I understand it is postfix) still points to the the old mail server 

PS: How to determine which mail server my DNS uses?

thx

You can change the /etc/postfix/transport to accommodate your needs. This
file tells postfix which server to use for relaying. The format of this file
is:
domain.com smtp:ip_adddress_of_your_exchange
where domain.com - the domain name you want to send mail to (perhaps you
will use here your domain).
After you will change this file don't forget to make postmap
/etc/postfix/transport and then restart postfix.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] smtp server that nagios uses

the machine where nagios is installed uses postfix as smtp. I know this
might be off-topic, but any idea where to look so that I verify to which
server postfix relays the email?

actually we upgraded our exchange mail server and we want to shutdown the
old one. My worries is that nagios (now I understand it is postfix) still
points to the the old mail server 

PS: How to determine which mail server my DNS uses?

thx

hi,

I checked the header of the emails coming from nagios. I also check the headers of the emails I send from the machine itself when I telnet to postfix.

indeed the email goes to my old mail server then to the new mail server.

I checked the file /etc/postfix/transport and it was all commented but I added as you suggested

mycompany.com smtp:smtp:ip_adddress_of_my_new_exchange

I restarted postfix.

but the header of any test message still goes to the old mail server...

any idea please?

Melanie,
Take time and visit the postfix website and go through the documentation.
Check the MX record for your domain to ascertain your real email server.

Thanks for the response, Lars. This, unfortunately, has not resolved  
the issue. My directory structure looks like this:

[root at narsil nagios]# ls -lahR rrd/:
total 24K
drwxrwxr-x 3 nagios apache 4.0K 2008-04-24 15:02 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 nagios apache 4.0K 2008-04-24 12:20 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios apache 4.0K 2008-04-24 15:02 linux_narsil

rrd/linux_narsil:
total 16K
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios apache 4.0K 2008-04-24 15:02 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 nagios apache 4.0K 2008-04-24 15:02 ..

But the error message is exactly the same.

Other thoughts?

One other question that strikes me: where should I be seeing the perf  
logging? in ngraph.log? All I see is the startup text from  
yesterday...is there a debugging setting/approach that will tell me  
whether collect2.pl is working at all? I see that even though I've  
restarted this AM, there is no logging whatever happening to ngraph.log

Thanks!

If that's a copy and paste, note that you did "smtp:" *twice*.

Sometime ago, I've tried to search suchthing, and determine the
minimum permissions to make WMI specific queries. I've stopped on WMI
and COM+ custom permissions that couldn't be set via GPO and for a big
enviroment, this is a big problem.

Have a check on google + microsoft searching for WMI query permissions...

Or, you could try to use SNMPTRAP on the switches that the servers

that interface to the server...

Hi again.
Just now I've tried to change my command definition:

define command{
        command_name notify-by-sms
        command_line touch /home/rage/it_is_working
        }

My /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg:

define contact{
        name                            generic-contact         
        service_notification_period     24x7                    
        host_notification_period        24x7                    
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r,f,s

	  service_notification_commands   notify-by-sms
        host_notification_commands      notify-by-sms    
        register                        0                       
        }


So according to my configuration, nagios must create a file in my /home/rage
folder when an alert take place. But the file didn't appear when I manually
shutdown one of my monitoring services. In the log files I got the same
messages:
Apr 25 19:03:35 srv-nagios nagios: SERVICE ALERT: vector;Check
SMTP;OK;HARD;3;SMTP OK - 0.063 sec. response time
Apr 25 19:03:35 srv-nagios nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
nagiosadmin;vector;Check SMTP;OK;notify-by-sms;SMTP OK - 0.063 sec. response
time



 What I am doing wrong?

I use gnokii. I have used a Telular GSM SX5D and currently use an
Easygate analog fixed cellular terminal (via serial port). Gnokii is
avaialble in Debian Etch and supports a lot of mobile phones. Check
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Config for a partial list of
supported phones. The atgen driver in gnokii supports lots of phones.

/etc/gnokiirc looks like this

[global]
port = /dev/ttyS0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]
[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off



Notify command for service notifications looks like this

echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME
$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >>
/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1

For host notifications this does the job

echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log
2>&1

Are permissions on /home/rage sufficient that nagios can enter the
directory and create the file? If you created that user with standard
tools and done nothing else beyond that, most linux distributions won't
permit that.

Perhaps you could try "touch /tmp/it_is_working" instead? Make sure the
file doesn't exist before running nagios.

Hi all!

I'm getting per moments this message in the statusmap for a single host.
With the rest I don't have problems. That it can cause this?

Thanks in advance.

Not to offend anyone, 

But I think that this is a great opportunity for the community to get
involved and help with the translation.  Unfortunately, my French is as
good as my Arabic, but I am willing to help with the Spanish version.   

:-)

Thanks,

Thanks for assistance - I have figured out where my problem was lying.

The answer to the major problem was in the following command definition: 
command_line echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME
$" |gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1
The user which runs nagios (nagios in my case) didn't have the permission to
write to the /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log and this user didn't have any
permission to use /dev/ttyS0 (so chown nagios:nagios /dev/ttyS0 solved this
one). But I wonder why I could't get any clue in the logs files when I had
problems? This is a question to nagios developers... 

Ilya.

Hi again.
Just now I've tried to change my command definition:

define command{
        command_name notify-by-sms
        command_line touch /home/rage/it_is_working
        }

My /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg:

define contact{
        name                            generic-contact         
        service_notification_period     24x7                    
        host_notification_period        24x7                    
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r,f,s

	  service_notification_commands   notify-by-sms
        host_notification_commands      notify-by-sms    
        register                        0                       
        }


So according to my configuration, nagios must create a file in my /home/rage
folder when an alert take place. But the file didn't appear when I manually
shutdown one of my monitoring services. In the log files I got the same
messages:
Apr 25 19:03:35 srv-nagios nagios: SERVICE ALERT: vector;Check
SMTP;OK;HARD;3;SMTP OK - 0.063 sec. response time
Apr 25 19:03:35 srv-nagios nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
nagiosadmin;vector;Check SMTP;OK;notify-by-sms;SMTP OK - 0.063 sec. response
time



 What I am doing wrong?

I use gnokii. I have used a Telular GSM SX5D and currently use an
Easygate analog fixed cellular terminal (via serial port). Gnokii is
avaialble in Debian Etch and supports a lot of mobile phones. Check
http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/Config for a partial list of
supported phones. The atgen driver in gnokii supports lots of phones.

/etc/gnokiirc looks like this

[global]
port = /dev/ttyS0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]
[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off



Notify command for service notifications looks like this

echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME
$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >>
/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1

For host notifications this does the job

echo -e
"<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log
2>&1

Hi people,

I need to generate a report in Nagios 3.0, but this report must be generated automaticaly and, if possible, sent by e-mail for a mailbox.

Is this natively possible in Nagios?
Are there third-party tool to do it?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Hi,

what kind of report? 65536 colors or 256 colors? PDF or PPT? What should be reported? 
Please be bit more specific on how your report should look like.

Gerhard

p.s. more and more people i meet ignore the nature of Nagios as a monitoring tool and ask "can generate reports?". I always have the dim feel, that for them reporting of failures is more important than preventing failures.

Create a report manually and when you click on the "Generate Availability
Report!" button keep an eye on the apache logfile. Then take that url from
the logfile (something with ...../avail.cgi?....).
In a small script you can get the raw html of the report at any time with
wget --output-document=report.html <the url>

Then you can convert the html file with this:
http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/PDF-FromHTML-0.08/script/html2pdf.pl

With the mutt mailer you can send a mail with an attachment

#! /bin/bash
wget --output-document=report.html <the url>
html2pdf.pl report.html > report.pdf
mutt -s "report" -a report.pdf recipients at somewhere.com
rm report.html report.pdf

This is not the exact solution, i just wrote it down without trying it.

Hello there! Can anyone please assist me to configure nagios in this way:
When one of my host is down I need nagios to send only ONE notification
stating that host is down. My current configuration makes nagios to send
custom notification for each service that is configured on this host. I use
gsm-modem and it's annoying. The same is about recovery notification. Is it
possible?

My system is:
Linux srv-nagios 2.6.18-6-686 
nagios-3.0b5

Thanks in advance,
		Ilya.

Yes, configure a host check_command that determines that the host is
down. Nagios will automatically suppress notifications for services on
down or unreachable hosts.

See first section of
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html.

Also verify that you do not have 'is_volatile' set for the service
definitions.

Subject: nagios to monitor 'seamless mobility' solutions
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40804252130x4270be5bp99328c40704b5507@mail.gmail.com>

Just recently, I've gotten into mesh networking and am now researching into
some of the "seemless mobility" solutions (802.11r, 802.21, etc).

Any ideas on how to use Nagios (or any other F/OSS tool, for that matter) to
somehow monitor what the users might be experiencing?  I could monitor the
health of each of the boxes, but that doesn't really fully describe what the
user is experiencing on the go and whether or not that user should be

Or, you could try to use SNMPTRAP on the switches that the servers
are, to inform link-down/link-up traps on interfaces and associates
that interface to the server...

Hi Ilya,

Glad you solved this one Ilya. I had the exact same issue when I first
setup SMS notifications. It is easy to forget that you need to have
the correct permissions to be able to access files, directories or in
this case devices ! Probably a good idea to put the "chown
nagios.nagios /dev/ttyS0" in rc.local so that the permissions get
changed when the machine boots.

I managed to get voice notifications working via Asterisk if you are
interested. Asterisk calls your phone and reads the notification using
flite.

Ok, Finally got Nagios 2.x going.

Don't know much about Linux.

How do I install Monarch on Ubuntu? Is there a step by step direction anyone
can point me to?

 

Thanks

I'm very much a nagios-newbie, but I'm guessing (from reading my Pro 
Nagios 2.0 book the past few weeks) that you'd use a combination of:

define service{
	service_description	loadbalancer-warnings
	is_volatile		1
	max_check_attempts	1
	active_checks_method	0
	passive_checks_enabled	1
	...
	}

You'd supposedly use the send_nsca command on the remote host to send a 
warning message to the NSCA daemon on the nagios host?

(I haven't tried this yet - and don't completely understand it - but it 
was in the "Integrating Nagios" chapter where it talks about syslog-ng / 
snort integration.)

Subject: Strange NRPE Problem...
Message-ID: <B49A6944AC96B046B19F77624D7E2530D5384D@kamino.card.co.uk>

Hi there, 

 

I'm having some strange NRPE behaviour. 

I've written a Perl script that runs a load of checks on our systems,
but the ones that are causing the problem are any checks that want to
connect to Oracle via DBI.

 

The error it's giving me is:

DBI connect('','',...) failed: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
(DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach) at nagios_checks.pl line 82

 

Now this command works fine if I run it locally on the server, however
when using NRPE it throws the above error.

 

The lines in question in my script look like this:

sub dbConnect

{

            my $dbh;

            eval 

            {

                        $dbh =
DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:$database","$username","$password",{ RaiseError
=> 1, AutoCommit => 0, PrintError => 0}) 

                        || die "failed to connect to $database\n";

            };

            if ($@) 

            {

                        my $msg .= $@."\n";

                        die "$msg\n";

            }

            

            return $dbh;

}

The username, password and database get loaded in from a XML Config
file... But it all works locally??? 

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

Gavin

The NRPE Demon is running under the Local System account - all my
previous DB scripts have worked fine, so not sure why this one is any
different... 

Not sure of any ways of explicitly testing it under the Local System
account...

I don't believe it's possible to use Nagios/Nrpe scripts with 3rd party
modules I briefly read something about this in the documentation. Try
testing with a very basic 3rd party module that you know must work under
almost any condition.

The NRPE Demon is running under the Local System account - all my
previous DB scripts have worked fine, so not sure why this one is any
different... 

Not sure of any ways of explicitly testing it under the Local System
account...

Does it work locally if you run it as the same user as the NRPE daemon
is running?

Assume no environment. No $PATH, etc etc... Can your XML config file
still be found? Are you testing as the user that NRPE runs as?

You might also check your PERL5LIB and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variables (assuming *nix).

No prob, cheers.

Just to clarify, I'm using NRPE_Nt, with Nagios 2.0x and check_nrpe on

As root, run "sudo -u accountname checkscript" (where accountname is what NRPE is running under) 



If it runs correctly, make sure to echo $? to ensure your return code is getting set correctly.

I would try hard coding the values into the script  to see if that
works, that should give you a good indication of where the problem lies.

I've had it working fine with DBI and DBD-Oracle before. I've also been
using Win32-Processes to check Process information, so I don't think it
should matter.

The only thing drastically different about this script is that it loads
the config settings (Db, user, pass, etc) in from an XML config script
using Config-XMLPerl.

Any ideas?

I don't believe it's possible to use Nagios/Nrpe scripts with 3rd party
modules I briefly read something about this in the documentation. Try
testing with a very basic 3rd party module that you know must work under
almost any condition.

I've had it working fine with DBI and DBD-Oracle before. I've also been
using Win32-Processes to check Process information, so I don't think it
should matter.

The only thing drastically different about this script is that it loads
the config settings (Db, user, pass, etc) in from an XML config script

Any ideas?

As root, run "sudo -u accountname checkscript" (where accountname is
what NRPE is running under)

 

If it runs correctly, make sure to echo $? to ensure your return code is
getting set correctly.

Not sure of any ways of explicitly testing it under the Local System

Read the manual on the command. You should take the time to read the
manual on Nagios and look up these kinds of answers yourself before
asking on the list.

Standard question 37: when you test it locally, have you done

$ su - nagios

beforehand?  (Or whomever your nrpe.cfg file says the daemon should run
as -- it actually seems to default to nobody...)

Google for "nagios procurve".  There's an example of using check_snmp
to monitor HP ProCurve switches at, I think, Nagios Exchange, that
ought to give you a pretty strong hint.

Subject: A bit OT: sending MMS messages from Linux
Message-ID: <872CB0AEB377C240A112DD7C10B2592904B20CF7@wtps0171.amers.ibechtel.com>

Greetings All, 

My apologies if this is to much off topic.

We are having trouble sending alerts from our Nagios server to the MMS
address of our cell phones.  We have been sending SMS messages for years
with great success, however MMS messages are never received.  We would
like to use MMS because SMS messages are limited to 160 characters, MMS
has a much higher limit.

The problem is not with Nagios but instead (I think) with the sendmail
mechanism it uses when sending messages.  I'm just hoping someone on the
list has dealt with this already and can help me figure it out.  We use
Sendmail to send massages from the Nagios server to an internal SMTP
gateway that forwards the messages on to the Internet.  We can
successfully send MMS messages from Outlook clients on the desktop which
use the same SMTP gateways as the Nagios server, the phones receive
these without any trouble.  We have tried both ATT and Verizon systems
and neither will deliver the MMS messages from the Nagios server.  We
have also tested sending the messages from the command line on the Linux
server.  The common link between all the scenarios we have tried is the
Linux server and the sendmail transfer agent.  Does anyone on the list
send messages to MMS addresses?  If so did you have any trouble getting
it to work, if not what OS and mail transfer agent are you using?

We have tested this from Red Hat 7.3/Sendmail 8.11 and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5/Sendmail 8.13

Thanks,

-greg

Do that from the command-line, you'll see the output - as well as status.

-H <hostname> is basically all you need -p iirc if your running on a non
standard smtp port. 

 

It will return a 200 OK or something like that you don't have to muck
around with the -w -c stuff for this check.

Sounds like it's just a normal e-mail to a specific address, correct?
Have you verified that sendmail is behaving itself as a normal mail
server on the Internet? It has valid public reverse DNS? Forward DNS
matches reverse DNS? HELO name is a valid FQDN, preferably matching
reverse DNS for the IP? What do your sendmail logs show? Is there a
bounce generated?

Subject: Monitoring software RAID in Debian GNU/Linux
Message-ID: <loom.20080428T210428-779@post.gmane.org>

Hi all!!

I'm testing the plugin check_md_raid.pl [1] on Debian GNU/Linux Etch and
I've removed a member of RAID device with the following commands:

mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --fail /dev/sdb3
mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --remove /dev/sdb3

But Executing by hand the plugin, it shows the RAID status in OK during
degraded and rebuilding modes:

xenhost7:/usr/local/nagios/libexec/non-std# ./check_md_raid.pl
RAID OK: All arrays OK

Is it correct to suppose the status would have to be CRITICAL and
WARNING, respectively?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Daniel

Subject: check_nt/PNP questions...
Message-ID: <95459347-53BF-40E9-82B1-855B5AAEA962@umn.edu>

New installation of the latest PNP on 2.X Nagios.

My question has to do with the behavior of check_nt.  I have a check  
defined for Trans/sec on SQL. I can run it like so:

./check_nt -H sql -p 5667 -v COUNTER -l "\\SQLServer:Databases(_Total)\ 
\Transactions/sec","Transactions/sec %f"

And the output is:
Transactions/sec 3 | 'Transactions/sec %f'=3.013140%;0.000000;0.000000;

Is there a way to make check_nt NOT turn the number into a percentage?

My second question has to do with the output I've gotten into PNP.  
Some of my counters that do use percentages, CPU for example, are  
showing weird averages or maxs like 272% CPU as a max load. Why would  
this happen and how would I "fix" the data in the rrd?

Thanks!

That sounds strange,

What Windows client are the results comming from?

I have tweeked the Counter in Check_nc_net.c several years ago and have not
had any reports of issue with this.,
why not try it, it should be compatible with all check_nt Windows plugins.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=160140

Check_nc_net has detailed command line help for the syntex of Counter as
well as all check_nt/check_nc_net commands

Good Luck,
Tony (Author of NC_Net)

There's a great check_raid plugin on nagiosexchange.com that we use here. If you can't find it on there, get me off list and I can send to you as an attach.

There's a good few of these plugins if you can't get this one working.
I've got one here:

Hi there.
 
I'm using Nagios 3.0.1 - primarily using the check_http command to check the availability of some websites.
 
I've set the log_rotation_method to be =h and I see that the log file is rotated every hour but it only appears to have logged the current state for that particular hour. For example, in the 3 AM file, I only see listed the time stamp for what was checked at 3 AM - nothing at 3:05, 3:10, 3:15, on so on.
 
How do I get all activity from that one hour in that log file?
 
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Nagios only logs state changes and initial states (if you tell it to).  
HARD states are not logged. If you need a record of every check  
result, take a look at ndoutils to log to a database.

Subject: check scheduler tuning !
Message-ID: <61feb6e60804290038h5ef4c46ek390c7ee633f99d25@mail.gmail.com>

Hello there,

I''ve installed a monitoring suite with Nagios and Centreon. But i
have a problem with scheduling. After one night my scheduler displays
next checks one hour before the actual time.

Is there a way to optimize scheduler to get services checks on time.

The inherent problem of this is when i force a service check, it takes
ages to get the result.

I hope i made myself clear ^^


Thanks in advance for your answers

Infomations :
Nagios 2.11
Centreon 1.4.2.4
approx 900 services (including several snmp traps)

You're probably having check latency. Look at the "Performance Info"
page... Active Service Check Latency should be near 0. If it's not you
have a problem.

Here's an overview or how scheduling works in Nagios:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html

Keep in mind that the following things will cause Nagios to stop
processing commands until the external command returns:
Host checks (performed on non-OK states, this can be solved in Nagios 3)
Event handlers
Performance data processing commands
OCSP Commands

- - It's not a good idea to avoid host checks so you'll want to make them
return as fast as possible (using a well-tuned 1-ping check_icmp you can
have ir always return within 1 second).
- - Event handlers should fork before doing any work.
- - Instead of using performance data processing commands you can have
nagios write data to a file of fifo. See:
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2520.html;d=1
http://www.control-alt-del.org/code/NPDaemon/
- - Instead of using OCSP commands you can use the perfdata file to
forward commands. See:
http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki/index.php/OCP_Daemon

IF you must use the perf/ocsp commands anyways make sure they fork
before doing any work.

You can also have a look at some other things you can tune:

Thomas,

thanks for your reply, i checked the latency and you were right, i
have a 5 minutes latency between service checks.
I already looked at the nagios config file and tried different
settings without success.
I disabled active hosts checks and the latency between service checks reduces.

Thanks for your help.

But imagine i would like to keep the host checks (check_host_alive)
with a inter check delay of 3 minutes. Is it possible to run such a
configuration with 100+ hosts and 1000+ active service checks without
having a great latency ?

S?bastien

You probably don't need active host checks since Nagios already checks
hosts on service state changes. If you really need to check ICMP then it
would be much better to:

1. Make your host check perform 1 ping and return asap (on demand host
checks)
2. Add a service for ICMP checking where you can take as long as you
wish to perform the check (obviously, a different check_command).

Nagios 3 can parallelize scheduled host checks and allow host result
caching to overcome these limitations of Nagios 2.

Hi Trevor,

You have not framed your question very well. Do you mean you do not have a statusmap.cgi or do you require some tips on setting up a statusmap?
If it is the later, then you need to set parent-host relationships. If its the former then look on the FAQ as it tells you what you need to install to ensure that statusmap id built.

Regards

Tom

Message-ID: <F7A313D17ED3A24A98624E0EE9E36E740662D3@sharefaxsbs.sharefax.local>

I cannot for the life of me get nagios to send notifications to anyone
that's NOT in the 'admins' group.  Also, in the web interface, it lists
every contact twice, even nagiosadmin.

 

I've gone into templates.cfg and replaced 'admins' with 'itdept' and it
still sends to 'admins' and nothing else.  I've run the check with no
errors and bounced the process.  

 

Under the notifications section of the web interface, it only lists
'admins' as well, so I don't believe it's an email issue, especially
since if I put members from 'itdept' in 'admins', they receive the
notificationsnotifications.

Sounds silly, but have you restarted Nagios after you've made the
changes? I've noticed on some of our test boxes that sometimes you need
to stop Nagios, then check that it truly has stopped (ps ax | grep
nagios should only return the "grep" command) and then restart it.

If you have already done this, can you post your nagios config files
for notifications?

Cheers,

M

Sounds silly, but have you restarted Nagios after you've made the
changes? I've noticed on some of our test boxes that sometimes you need
to stop Nagios, then check that it truly has stopped (ps ax | grep
nagios should only return the "grep" command) and then restart it.

If you have already done this, can you post your nagios config files
for notifications?

Cheers,

M

Subject: SNMP Traps from ProCurve Switches
Message-ID: <20080429142416.GB30140@cgi.jachomes.com>

I'm not entirely sure that I want to do this with Nagios.. or that I
*should* use Nagios to do it, but this seems the best place to start.

My 3.0 install is about a week old, and I'm slowly adding machines to
it.  My latest category is my collection of about 25 HP ProCurve
switches of various models.

I gather an impression that these switches can be set to trap out when
ports change state.  Some ports -- primarily server and device ports,
obviously -- I care about state changes in all the time, and I'd like
Nagios to tell me about them.  Other ports -- workstations -- I only
care when I'm wandering the building, and would like to be able to have
something tell me which switch and port are at the other end of the
wire I've just unplugged, or into which I've just plugged my handheld
tester.

I've done a bit o'Googling, and I'm still doing some more, but has
anyone done this already, and have suggestions or pointers that might
do me some good?

Do I want to try to use Nagios to solve the larger problem, since I do
want it to solve the smaller one anyway, or do I want to set up some
other scripting that also catches the traps, and run it in parallel?

And does anyone know if those traps include the MAC address of the
rising device, or whether I'm going to have to go poll the MIB?

Cheers,
-- jra

It sure sounds like you're not editing what you think you're editing
(i.e. that template isn't used by nagios or the services you think
you're changing). Please provide specific details or we're just going to
be guessing randomly.

Is there a verbose version of checkconfig that will tell you what
Nagios *thinks you told it to do*?  (IE: not just that it's happy with
the config)

Works for me.

Perhaps you need to copy and paste the entire thing, maybe your mail 
client is misinterpreting or something.

Alternatively, search nagios exchange for "check_md_raid", it'll be the 
only result.

Copying and pasting the link, it works. But this plugin is the one that I 
commented in this thread :-)

I have noticed when removing a member from the raid, running the plugin 
from Nagios server, it show the RAID in degraded state for a moment. But 
soon the plugin shows the RAID in OK state. I observe the same situation 
when adding the member. Initially the script show the RAID in rebuilding 
state, but a new run of the plugin shows OK status before finishing the 
ebuilding. Which can be the problem?

Thanks for your response.

Daniel

I was working on this, I wanted to connect directly rather than layer a lot
of interposing scripts (which are often difficult to repair).  I was trying
to force snmptrapd to "log" to the Nagios command-channel, but snmptrapd
seems to use different formats when logging to stdout compared to logging to
a file.

Anyone else with better luck?

Not really. nagios -v will give you counts of objects found, and in the
case of the OP, it should be easy to tell if it sees all his expected
contacts.

In the broader case, Andreas Ericsson once wrote a little program to
print out the cfg files that nagios would read. It's available at
http://oss.op5.se/nagios/getnagioscfg.c. It was written with 2.x in mind
but I don't expect there to have been significant changes for 3.x

have you tried running it with -vvv for debug output?

show us the output of the plugin with -vvv as well as the mdadm detail 
output. This plugin basically calls mdadm to find the status of the drives.

I forgot to mention, this is Nagios 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.0.4 Jeos edition.
(Ran under vmware server, not that it should matter)


My nagios.cfg is still pretty stock. It still has the following lines it
it, which are the files I've been editing.
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg

In templates.cfg, I changed the windows-server host definition from 
Contact_groups	admins
To
Contact_groups	itdept

And in contacts.cfg, I have contacts nagiosadmin and beau-cell. I also
added this section:

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       itdept
        alias                   IT Department Email Only
        members                 beau-cell
        }


Windows.cfg host definition

define host{
        use             windows-server  ; Inherit default values from a
template
        host_name       1it4    ; The name we're giving to this host
        alias           Beau's Computer ; A longer name associated with
the host
        address         X.X.X.140      ; IP address of the host
        #contact_groups itdept !!!tried with and without!!!
        }



Also, is this the output you were looking for?

Checking contacts...
        Checked 4 contacts.
Checking contact groups...
        Checked 2 contact groups.

Regarding ls output

/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 10812 2008-04-28 17:18 templates.cfg

All of my configs have the same perms and owners.

Ps output:

nagios   15559     1  0 10:40 ?        00:00:04
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Is there a verbose version of checkconfig that will tell you what
Nagios *thinks you told it to do*?  (IE: not just that it's happy with
the config)

Yes, as far as Linux/Nagios is concerned they are standard messages to
SMTP addresses.


>Have you verified that sendmail is behaving itself as a normal mail
server on the Internet? It has valid public reverse DNS? Forward DNS
matches reverse DNS? HELO name is a valid FQDN, preferably matching
reverse DNS for the IP? What do your sendmail logs show? Is there a
bounce generated?

We use the same Nagios command to send successfully to the SMS addresses
(number at vtext.com vs number at vzwpix.com for MMS) of the same phones (i.e.
using the same SMTP servers to get out).  The sendmail logs show the
messages as being delivered Okay.  I did some testing, I'm trying
different things to try and discover where the problem lies.

Test: Send 10 messages from old RH/sendmail box to MMS address of cell
phone, Send 10 messages from new RH/sendmail box to MMS address of cell
phone, Send 10 messages from windows box (with sendmail port) to the MMS
address of cell phone.  All messages are sent one after another from the
command line.

Results: Usually all 10 of the messages from the Windows box come
through, though not always.  Some of the Linux generated messages come
through I've gotten as many as 4 and as few as none.  The new versus old
versions of Linux and Sendmail do not seem to make a difference.  The
messages will come through on occasion but not consistently.  Not good
for a monitoring solution.


I should rephrase my original questions:

Is anyone else using MMS to receive Nagios alerts?
Do you ever notice any alerts not getting to your phone?
What provider are you using?

Thanks, 

-greg

You will probably want to use SNMPTT (SNMP Trap Translator) as the glue
between snmptrapd and Nagios. Since it can import trap definitions
directly from MIB files most of your work (once it's set up) will be to
import them and acc proper EXEC line where you want to send Nagios alerts.

The EXEC lines in your SNMPTT configs will look like this:

EXEC /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result $r
"Service name" <alert_type> "Message"

Where is <alert_type> the numeric value for the alert (0 OK, 1 WARNING,
etc.) and "Message" can contain SNMPTT variables to give useful details
(ex. port name, new state...)

Another solution would be to try OpsView (A Nagios frontend). I haven't
tried it yet but it looks like it's pretty easy to add traps to Nagios
with it.

Nagios has absolutely no knowledge of MIBs - basically all it know about
is hosts, services and their results... The problem you'll have is to
map a specific trap (or set of traps) to a Nagios service and alert
level with a meaningful message.

What's nice with SNMPTT is that it can parse MIBs and extract traps and
put everything in a SNMPTT config file ready for logging. You'll see the
traps, description and variables. All you have to do then is add an EXEC
line for the traps you want to send the result to Nagios, and set the
alert level and message you want (using the variables provided).

I attached a sample config file. This is basically a convert of IF-MIB
with two traps in it, linkUp and linkDown (I'm not sure it I trimmed it
of not...). What I added is the EXEC lines (and possibly modified the
FORMAT lines). Everything else is from snmpttconvertmib.

Hi

I have problems in getting bandwidth statistics using MRTG.

define service{
        use                          generic-service ; Inherit values from a
template
        host_name               D-Link
        service_description   Port 1 Bandwidth Usage
        check_command
check_local_mrtgtraf!/home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg!AVG!1000000,1000000!5000000,5000000!10
}

I tried to run the above command and see the file is outdated.

i have ran the cfgmaker program and stored the mrtg.cfg in
/home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg

Please advise

Subject: Announce: Check_Yum for RedHat/CentOS server package
	alerts
Message-ID: <481869EA.2060300@googlemail.com>

Hi,

   I've just released the Check_Yum plugin on NagiosExchange.org as the 
only one there seemed quite inadequate.

Features of the new plugin (none of which are in the old plugin) include:

- Differentiate between Security / normal package updates
- Better output - numbers of packages updates
- Support for extra Yum options including enabling and disabling repos, 
running from the cache
- Optional Warning on non-security updates
- Optional Critical alerting on any package
- Timeout
- Verbosity
- Less false package alerts (the old plugin just used to misleading say 
the O/S needed updates when yum failed for any reason at all), including 
proper error feedback and a switch for lock handling to not raise an 
alert like if somebody is running yum interactively at the same time.


You can download the plugin here:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2577.html;d=1

(you may need to copy and paste that link if your mail client 
misinterprets the link)

As ever, feedback is welcome, and development will continue if needed 
for extra switches and features.
This should also work with Fedora or another RPM based distros that uses 
yum as it's package management system but I've not tested it outside 
RHEL/CentOS so feedback is welcome there too.


On a related note, I'm also quite interested in people's experiences of 
updating and maintaining RedHat based systems especially with regards to 
security. I spoke to a few people and they basically don't follow 
security vulnerabilities and don't patch which ties in with my 
experiences and what I've seen of other people's systems too which is 
very disappointing. Hopefully this will make it easier to automatically 
track and keep on top of security updates for those of us who have 
RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 or later or equivalent.


Thanks

And just to be sure. I can even run yum as nagios user:

# su - nagios -c "yum check-update"
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Skipping security plugin, no data

clamav.i386                              0.93-2.el5.rf          rpmforge

clamav-db.i386                           0.93-2.el5.rf          rpmforge

clamd.i386                               0.93-2.el5.rf          rpmforge

# su - nagios -c "yum update"
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
You need to be root to perform this command.

So why does this nagios plugin need to run with root priviliges?

Hi,
wanted to have a look at it, but it is a binary, do you provide the sources 
anywhere? And what license is it?

:P

Well, this doesn't seem to be going anywhere.  Can someone list or point
me to a list of steps to add and use additional contact_groups?  Maybe I
can start from scratch and figure it out.

I just want to add that "Send custom service notification" does work, I
was just expecting it to send the comments in the notification too.

To recap, I'm trying to use a different contact group other than
'admins', and nagios continues to use 'admins'.  I've tried changing the
group in the template file for windows-servers and in the windows.cfg
file as well.

It is a python program so you can just open it with an editor and read 
the source.

The license is at the top and like everything else I write it's GPLv2. 
If anyone has a good reason for me to go GPLv3 then I'll consider it.

Thanks

You are right, I just double checked this. For some reason I had done a 
run as a user who got an access denied or something if I recall so it 
seemed that it needed to be run as root, but I have indeed changed this 
behaviour to now not run as root.

See the updated plugin version 0.6.4 on nagios exchange.

Thanks

Sorry for the slow response, I'm not at my desk...

Could you pls try the latest 0.6.5 plugin that I've just put on 
nagiosexchange.

I tend to intentionally check lots of things to try to break the check 
on anything that isn't seen before in order to fail noisy instead of 
pass silent. It seems one snagged you.
If you try the updated plugin it should work for you (pls let me know).

Thanks

If you provide the information I asked for originally, we can almost
certainly help.

Add contact
Add to new/existing contactgroup
Add contactgroup to host/service
Verify in nagios.cfg that all the config files you just edited are
listed as cfg_file.
Restart/reload nagios
...
Profit!

This sends to the new contact for the service that regular notifications
do not work for? I'm not using nagios-3 yet but my reading of the code
is that it uses the exact same notification logic unless 'forced' or
'broadcast' is enabled. Are you using those? Forced causes nagios to
ignore time restrictions, broadcast tells nagios to send to all normal
contacts _and_ escalated contacts.

It would appear then, based on the information at hand, that the
'admins' contactgroup is still associated with that service.

The latest version now works fine on my CentOS 5.1 boxes.

Now all we need is a version which works with python 2.3 so I can check
our CentOS / RHEL 4 boxes.

Cheers,

Hi,

   I've just released the Check_Yum plugin on NagiosExchange.org as the
only one there seemed quite inadequate.

Features of the new plugin (none of which are in the old plugin)
include:

- Differentiate between Security / normal package updates
- Better output - numbers of packages updates
- Support for extra Yum options including enabling and disabling repos,
running from the cache
- Optional Warning on non-security updates
- Optional Critical alerting on any package
- Timeout
- Verbosity
- Less false package alerts (the old plugin just used to misleading say
the O/S needed updates when yum failed for any reason at all), including
proper error feedback and a switch for lock handling to not raise an
alert like if somebody is running yum interactively at the same time.


You can download the plugin here:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2577.html;d=
1

(you may need to copy and paste that link if your mail client
misinterprets the link)

As ever, feedback is welcome, and development will continue if needed
for extra switches and features.
This should also work with Fedora or another RPM based distros that uses
yum as it's package management system but I've not tested it outside
RHEL/CentOS so feedback is welcome there too.


On a related note, I'm also quite interested in people's experiences of
updating and maintaining RedHat based systems especially with regards to
security. I spoke to a few people and they basically don't follow
security vulnerabilities and don't patch which ties in with my
experiences and what I've seen of other people's systems too which is
very disappointing. Hopefully this will make it easier to automatically
track and keep on top of security updates for those of us who have
RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 or later or equivalent.


Thanks

I agree - there are still a ton of RHEL4 boxes out there. We are pretty
strict on keeping with RHN - RHEL4 uses Python 2.3

   I wrote a Perl script that executes from NET-SNMP's "snmptrapd"
program (or can take stuff from <STDIN> (think e-mail)), does some
behind-the-scenes "magic" with a MySQL database backend (think
suppressing duplicate traps, and the ability to route traps to
Nagios or e-mail), and ultimately sends Nagios-formtted stuff via
NSCA to Nagios (or to humans via e-mail).

   If anybody wants a copy, and the database schemas, just ask.  It
is a bit of a heavyweight, but it works in my environment.

   I also did a bit of recoding to NSCA/NSCD to allow that facility
to enter comments into Nagios, either for services or for hosts.  I
contacted Mr. Galstad to see if he was interested in the tweaks, but
was told that there were going to be better ways of doing what I did
in the future.  I find it useful to jam stuff like port up/down and
configuration events into comments rather than fiddling with a service
and sending notifications.

Is MRTG running? Just making the config isn't good enough- you do  
actually have to run MRTG. Typically, this is done with a crontab  
entry, so it runs every 5 minutes or so. See http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-unix-guide.en.html

Oh, I should also point out that unless you are using a non-standard  
mrtgtraf plugin, the file specified in your configuration above should  
be the .log file generated my mrtg, not the config file.

Message-ID: <1689390EF608584D85BA56D958A5D1E45A13D89FEE@CorpExMBS1.arcadis-us.com>

I've setup some new servers in Nagios, and assigned them to a new user listed in contacts.cfg and in an .htpasswd file for cgi access.
Running the configuration verification check shows no warning and no errors. When logged in to the GUI as this user I can view all of the services, run commands to check them, etc., but cannot view or send host related commands.
Anyone know what I'm missing?

I tried version 0.6.5 and it works well now on Centos 5.

Nagios 2.11
Latest plugins
Ubuntu 7.10

I can post snippets of host and contact files if necessary. However, I'm curious about what you've said about cgi.cfg. The new contact shouldn't have to be defined here, should it? In cgi.cfg I can define users to be authorized for ALL Host Commands and whatnot, but this is not what I want. By default, shouldn't anyone listed as a contact for a host be able to view that host?

Thanks,
Garry

Are you sure you have the new contact properly defined in cgi.cfg to be able to view/execute commands on the hosts in question? What version of Nagios and the plugins are you running? What OS are you running? Can you post snippets of the host(s), contact cfg files in question?

Hosts do not inherit service contacts (only the reverse). Did you
associate the new contact with the host's contactgroup?

Can you confirm your:

grep  ^authorized_for_all_host  /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg ?

This should produce two lines of output something like:
==
authorized_for_all_hosts=*
authorized_for_all_host_commands=*
==
or:
==
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagios,allanc
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagios,allanc
==

(where you have a bunch of usernames rather than my "allanc" in that line)

It's a bit of a weak response, sorry, I bet others here will have better
ideas.

Not weak at all, I think that points towards the issue. At some point I changed the ?*? to a couple of usernames. Changing it back for Authorized For All Hosts allows this new user to view all hosts. This is close to what I want, but not exactly. I just want them to be able to see the hosts that they are listed as a contact for.

Thanks,
Garry

Hello,

 

I have Nagios 2.9 running (Dag Weiirs) running on Redhat Enterprise 5.0.

 

When I go to "Reporting" and select Trends I choose a host to view and
the graph is EMPTY. 

 

I am not sure where to start in troubleshooting this problem.

 

I know this is vague but I am just looking for a starting point to
understand how the graphing works and how is displays and stores its
data.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

John

Note that a 'normal' install should have no or few names listed here,
only those exceptions that need escalated privileges beyond those
provided by normal authorization logic (i.e. nagios admins).

Re-stating/wording my original e-mail, add this new contact to the
contactgroup associated with the host{} and remove them from cgi.cfg.
You may have added them to the service{}'s contactgroup but that has no
bearing on who can view host status.

State is 100% indeterminate? Most likely -- The host has not changed
state within your reporting period (or within the specified number of
backtracked archives) and nagios doesn't know what the state of the host
is. You can help it by specifying the first assumed state, increasing
the number of backtracked archives to search for state changes or
setting 'log_initial_states' in nagios.cfg and reloading nagios. The
last will cause nagios to log the current state of all hosts and
services on restart/reload and I'm 98% sure on log rotation.

That did it, thanks Marc. I forgot there needed to be a contact group association for the hosts, I thought that was still handled through the hostgroups.

Subject: Possible to monitor bios using Nagios?
Message-ID: <BAY108-W438C936B4A382CBB59A1C5DDD80@phx.gbl>


Probably the question to ask is: are there any tools that exist from the 
bios vendor or that the OS can use to output generic bios information. 
If so, you can wrap it in perl and make it a nagios plugin.

Sorry for the long subject and post. We're running 2.10 on CentOS 5.
When we acknowledge a service alert that goes into warning, we're not
receiving an alert when it goes into critical. 

 

For example: we're monitoring the E drive on a file server. The drive
goes into a warning state, Nagios sends an alert, and an acknowledgement
is entered. Later the drive goes critical, but an alert is never sent.
Following are the relevant log entries and config files. Thanks for the
help!
