Subject: Nagios Setup -Macros ??
Message-ID: <877741.58390.qm@web53209.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hi All,
   
   I have installed Nagios 2.9 on RedHat Linux 4.0 recently. This took a bit of time to configure. Anyways now I have my webaccess set up. Now the main part if to add hosts/services to get their alerts.
  I have also tested it to receive an Email Alert when a service e.g. HTTP is not running.
  My couple of questions are 
   
  1. I have seen on a official website that other forms of alerts are also present like Pager/User Defined action apart from Email Alerts Notifications. We are interested in these User Defined actions. Is it that we can run a particular command or Script itself when any such Alert is generated ?? If yes How do we do it? 
  I have heard that Nagios uses Macros for all these notifications. If yes can we modify them ? How ?
   
  2. Regading Email Alerts, can we alter the Format of these Email Alerts Notifications?? How?
   
  It would be great if some one can atleast guide us in a right direction.
   
  Thanx in advance!!

I don't think so - that table as well as host_contacts is empty for me also, on
2.10/ndoutils 1.4b6 - I'm wondering if those tables just aren't getting updated
as they should...

Just to be clear - you're just trying to validate a contact for a given service
in a given state, right?  I'm using something similar to show effective contact
groups for hosts; you'll have to do a few JOINS to get what you want.  Have a
look at the sample queries that came w/ ndoutils for some good examples.

Subject: Nagios installation problem
Message-ID: <76bf88700801312045k7827815ah247d582d8da751ea@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
I installed Nagios and plugins also by going through the documentation. I
installed Nagios 2.10 and Nagios Plugins 1.4.11
But, the problem is when i tried to run nagios in debug mode using the
command  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios ?v
/usr/local/nagios/etc/init.d/nagios.cfg
It resulted in an error.
I installed Nagios in redhat linux enterprise edition.
And one more thing that i observed after installing Plugins is,
The configuration files i got in the etc directory are not named sample. Is
there anything to with this.
Can any one help me out in this regard....

Yes. The notification process is outlined in the docs at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html 
. Each contact (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact 
) specifies notification commands that will be executed when the  
notification criteria are met. Take a look at the command{} definition  
for a contact's service_notification_command that is working for you  
now. If you've figured out how to send e-mail notifications, you  
should have a pretty good idea of the process. The sample config files  
have example notify-by-email and notify-by-epager command you can look  
at but if you can craft some notification that works from the command  
line, nagios can use it to let you know there's a problem.

The FAQ also has references to alternate notification types - http://www.nagios.org/faqs/index.php?section_id=7&expand=false&showdesc=false

> I have heard that Nagios uses Macros for all these notifications. If

The sample notification commands are a good start to see how they're  
used. The list of macros, and when you can use them are at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html 
. User defined macros are not available with nagios-2.

> 2. Regading Email Alerts, can we alter the Format of these Email  
> Alerts Notifications?? How?

Yes, just edit your contact{}'s specified notification command{}  
definition. The command_line is the script that nagios will run to  
notify you. Most of the time it's just a straightforward echo or  
printf to /bin/mail.

The documentation is always an excellent resource.

Hi 				

Thanks for your help. Of course, I have tried to restart the NRPE service on the Windows remote host many times.

I will try to use SNMP (much easier to maintain for 70 servers)
instead of NRPE.

We've moved away from NRPE for a variety of reasons, including that we don't
want to have to maintain a separate configuration file on each server.  

To that end, I've been using HP's WMI Mapper package
(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?la
ng=en&cc=US&swItem=MTX-aeb689f58db74128b59af142ce) on a Windows server, with
wbemcli (from the sblim-wbemcli package) and custom perl scripts, to monitor
our Windows servers.  One server can be used as a proxy for multiple
servers, and we generally use one Windows server per site we monitor.

Just create a suitable user account on the domain and install the package.
Done.  No additional configuration required on the server - just define your
check commands on your nagios server.  You can get *far* more information
from WMI than you can from SNMP.  We're running this way with 68 hosts and
about 429 service checks as of right now, running most checks in 4-minute
intervals, with no problems whatsoever.  I suppose if check latency starts
to become an issue, we'll look at using ePN.  But that is a project for
another day.

At some point, I'll post some documentation on our Windows server monitoring
method (to the wiki, I assume), and the perl scripts themselves (to
nagios-exchange), but the scripts, while suitable for in-house use, aren't
ready to be shared with the world yet.  We've been monitoring our clients'
servers this way for about 4 months - and have been very happy with the
results so far.

Let me know if you're interested and I can PM the perl scripts to you.

- Brock

I am assuming you installed from source then.

This isn't debug mode but it will try to verify your configuration then
exit. nagios.cfg is in a very strange directory. Why did you move it
there?

The plugins don't install configuration files, but nagios can if you run
make install-config. They will not be explicitly named 'sample' but
that's what they are.

This error couldn't have resulted from the command line you stated you
ran above. It just looks like you didn't type the command line
correctly.

> Warning: Cannot open log file '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log' for

On the surface, these look like permissions issues. If you installed
nagios from source, it should have set appropriate directory
permissions. Are the ownership and permissions on the file/directories
such that the nagios user can read/write to that file? Did you create
the nagios user/group? Did you edit the main configuration file and
nagios user and nagios group?

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#nagios_user

Also review the installation doc to make sure you've set everything
correctly --

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

Finally, you don't state what version of RHEL you're using. If SELinux
is enabled and enforcing, make sure that SELinux isn't denying access.

All of these questions are answered in the docs and example
configuration files.

With Nagios, all notifications are user-defined; Nagios calls whatever
you tell it to call for notifications, using the parameters you provide
it. There are no built-in notification methods.

You cannot modify the available macros, and I'm not sure you'd want to.
If you want something not provided by the available macros, there's
probably a way to do it.

Also, again, all notifications are user-defined, so yes, you can change
the format to whatever you'd like.

It looks like you've got a lot of questions, but haven't looked at the
documentation yet. I'd recommend doing that, then coming back to the
list if you still have questions.

If you suspect mails in the mailq, check the /var/spool/clientmqueue/ directory of your server

while mailq is the correct command, you will not get the right output if you do not run it as the user that nagios runs as.

so, to be sure, check /var/spool/clientmqueue/ and if there are mails in that directory, simply write a small script to delete the mails that where sent by nagios (unless the only application that sends mail on that server is nagiios and you are sure that you can delete all mails in teh queue)

but usually, there shouldnt be mails in the queue as Mark said already, only if you have stopped sendmail. the moment you start it, they will go out.

Nagios doesn't queue notifications; they're all sent in real time.
Possible queuing of notifications is handled by whatever notification system you are using (i.e. sendmail, postfix, smstools, etc). Running the 'mailq' command will show you current sendmail and postfix queues.
Inspection of their log files will show you when the notifications were received by the mailer from nagios and when they were forwarded on to you by the mailer.

# OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S)
# This is the configuration file in which you define hosts, host
# groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc.  I guess it would
# be better called an object definition file, but for historical
# reasons it isn't.  You can split object definitions into several

# Nagios will read and process all the config files you define.
# This can be very useful if you want to keep command definitions 
# separate from host and contact definitions...

# Command definitions
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg

# Host and service definitions for monitoring this machine
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/localhost.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/test/test.cfg

# You can split other types of object definitions across several
# config files if you wish (as done here), or keep them all in a

# EXTERNAL COMMAND OPTION
# This option allows you to specify whether or not Nagios should check
# for external commands (in the command file defined below).  By default
# Nagios will *not* check for external commands, just to be on the
# cautious side.  If you want to be able to use the CGI command interface
# you will have to enable this.  Setting this value to 0 disables command
# checking (the default), other values enable it.

check_external_commands=1



# EXTERNAL COMMAND CHECK INTERVAL
# This is the interval at which Nagios should check for external commands.
# This value works of the interval_length you specify later.  If you leave
# that at its default value of 60 (seconds), a value of 1 here will cause
# Nagios to check for external commands every minute.  If you specify a
# number followed by an "s" (i.e. 15s), this will be interpreted to mean
# actual seconds rather than a multiple of the interval_length variable.
# Note: In addition to reading the external command file at regularly 
# scheduled intervals, Nagios will also check for external commands after
# event handlers are executed.
# NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external
# command file as often as possible.

# EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE
# This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests.
# It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are submitted

# EXTERNAL COMMAND BUFFER SLOTS
# This settings is used to tweak the number of items or "slots" that

status_update_interval=15



# FLAP DETECTION OPTION
# This option determines whether or not Nagios will try

Hi Masopust,				

Thanks for your help
I've resolve the issue
actually i did not mention the complete path in nagios.cfg
if you look in nagios.cfg you'll too know about it what i had wrote into it.

broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg

Thanks
Regards
Asim

Subject: getting packet loss with check_icmp
Message-ID: <9E924368227AEF4DB4D300EE6243D95E0721F5F9@thrawn.mulawa.internal>

Hey everyone,

 

I have been running a nagios server for a while.  We made some large changes
ot our layout which broke the parenting of config which I just got around to
fixing.  The problem I am having is that I am getting check_icmp fails for a
few switches every few minutes.  They are pingable throughout the whole time
with ping command.

 

Anyone seen this before?

 

Cheers,

If you set check_icmp to send multiple packets it can sends them pretty
fast; are you sure your switches won't start rejecting some icmp packets
under load? Also is the timeout large enough to get the replies?

The only way to confirm it's check_icmp is to run a packet capture while
you reproduce the problem manually (running check_icmp from the command
line) and show that there were as many replies than sent packets. Be
sure that:

1. check_icmp is the only thing pinging the target (to make the capture
easier to read). If running from your Nagios box disabling active host
checks for that switch should be enough.

2. You note the times at which you run each check_icmp (to match them
against the capture). you can for example run:
$ date && <check_icmp_command>

3. Wait a few seconds between each time you run check_icmp to make each
run clearly identifiable in the dump.

Either use wireshatk with the following filter: "icmp and host <host>"
Or the following command (then you can transfer <dump> wherever you want
and open it in Wireshark):
# tcpdump -s 1500 -w <dump> icmp and host <host>
(if you need to specify an interface for tcpdump use -i. Ex: "-i eth0"
_before_ the filtering expression).

Hello Asim,

yes, you're right, I had a similar problem with nagios.cfg as I wrote
"...ndomod.o -c ...ndomod.cfg"  and searched for days to find this :-))

Sorry that i couldn't answer yesterday but I was out of office and my
VPN to my company didn't work..

This works fine for me:

define command{

        command_line    $USER1$/check_ospf -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
<snmp-community>
        }

Generally, running the plugin as the Nagios user, or using the -h
parameter to show the help page will explain the usage of each plugin.

Hi Brock				

Thanks a lot for your information about WMI.

I have finally managed to work with SNMP for both Dell and HP servers running under Linux or Windows. The result is great and SNMP is so easy to maintain !

I have just uploaded the Compaq MIBS on my Nagios server. No need of that kind for Dell servers.

Subject: Threshold for processes
Message-ID: <000a01c8673f$dad93e10$98ad38a6@na.dsmain.com>

Hi All,

 

I have a question that i find interesting and that I really never thought of
before.

 

We monitor around 60 hosts and 260 services, have Nagios 2.9 installed on a
HP Compaq dc5700 Small Form Factor

Intel Pentium D 915 / 2.8 GHz Dual-Core 64-bit med 1GB DDRII Ram.

 

Monitoring the processes on the Nagios machine it sometimes a sends out a
warning or critical per passing the threshold of w:200 and c:250, it used to
give warnings and critical when I was working on the machine, testing
different things, but would go back to normal when I was done. 2 weeks ago I
added additional 30 hosts and about 150 services and now every second day
Nagios send out 1 or 2 alerts for exciding the threshold.

 

When I check the CPU/Ram/Network utilization it shows very low on both CPU's
(2-5%) and below half of the Ram utilization, and only 1/10th of the swap
file. Network traffic is low as well.

 

Here is my question:

 

If the CPU and Ram is not overloaded, what is the critical part with
processes? And what is really the maximum processes that can be run, when
the CPU show no overload (not even close)? Also is the default threshold set
in Nagios just a general threshold i.e Warning over 200 and Critical over
250 procs. What would make the decision of the Warning/Critical threshold?

 

Thanks,

Palle

It is entirely possible to have hundreds, thousands or 10's of thousands
of processes 'running' but in a sleep or otherwise idle state with no
system impact if you have enough memory to support them. The critical
part would be the number of processes ready to run but waiting on
processor time. This is generally indicated by the system's load numbers
but even that is not a hard-and-fast measure. For example, I have a quad
processor system with an average load of around 20. That means that
there are 5 processes per processor running, or waiting to run at any
given time (or waiting to access IO systems). Because this is not a
real-time system, it's a mail scanning machine, the few seconds delay
introduced by the number of processes waiting is acceptable. This
probably wouldn't be acceptable on desktop or other type of more
real-time service but even then, priorities can help a lot to maintain a
high load but an interactively normal system.

The defaults seem pretty arbitrary to me. You should set them to be what
you consider normal for the machine and the duties it's performing. For
example, on the mail system above, it is normal and acceptable to have
~360 processes 'running' at any given time. I'd be interested if that
exceeded 450-500ish. On another system, it's normal to have about 80
processes running. I'd be concerned if that exceeded 100.

HTH,

Subject: 100% cpu in 3.0rc2 under OSX
Message-ID: <C3CC9559.1D0%r.yeo@utah.edu>

Hi,

3.0rc2 pegs the CPU at startup in both OSX 10.4.11 and OSX 10.5.1, no checks
are occurring and all states are pending.  This is a basic build in all
cases with no plug-ins installed yet.

2.10 however works great and just going with 2.10 is definitely an option if
this is a fundamental problem with Nagios 3.0 and OSX.

The log files do not report anything out of the ordinary.  Looking over the
list it seems the problem may be very similar to the FreeBSD 6.3+ problem,
but the fix is not the same.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert Yeo

You are still experiencing multiple duplicate postings to the list (4
this time). You are the only person experiencing this problem and it
seems to happen every time you start a new thread. Why don't you use an
e-mail client instead of the apparently broken message board system
you're using to post?

The headers indicate that sourceforge is receiving the message multiple
times from desire.netways.de ([213.95.18.138]). I suspect that this is
http://nagiosexchange.org. If you're not submitting the topic multiple
times you might want to notify the managers of the message board that
you're using of the issue and find a better way to communicate with the
list in the meantime.

Better yet, block submissions from nagiosexchange / desire.netways.de 
[213.95.18.138] until they get their scripts straightened out.  I sent a 
message to support at nagiosexchange about the problem.

I say block him, specifically - he was requested to not post in that
fashion, and continues to do so.

Zack? Got an email client?

Subject: ~5000 second for 'Active Service Latency" (could
	this delay my checks?)
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40802041532m4a52e3c8ld00878eb29eec166@mail.gmail.com>

I am having a helluva time getting lots of SNMP checks to properly show up
in my Nagios GUI after I create them and restart the /etc/init.d/nagios
service. I have about 900 hosts, all of which are not checked (via ping)
very much (like every 5 minutes).  My services are checked about every 10
minutes, unless there is a problem, then I check them at 2 minute intervals.

top/htop and 'uptime' show the box has very little load, but the following
nagiostats dump shows almost a 5000 active service latency.  Could this be
the problem of why it takes forever and a day for checks to show?  And if
so, might this be a network latency issue?

Good lord, man!  Turn off those active host checks!

Nagios doesn't handle host checks very efficiently.  Typically, you
should only execute a host check if a service on that host fails.
Create a service on each host that emulates your current host check and
turn off active host checking.  That should fix your problem.

Sorry if I'm misreading something, but that's what it looks like to me.

While you don't say, I believe that you are likely using nagios-2.10. If
that is the case then the latencies are expected and explained by the
warnings you saw in the documentation in the host{} section about
check_intervals.

To summarize, nagios stops doing _*everything*_ while a host is checked.
If your host checks all ran and finished in 1 second, you've just
introduced 900 seconds (15 minutes) of latency as a base. 10 pings is at
least 9,000 seconds where nagios stops everything except focusing on
hosts. You don't need scheduled host checks. No, really you don't. Side
effects can include headache, vomiting and extreme latencies.

With Nagios-3, you still don't need scheduled host checks but there are
some benefits to them as described in that documentation.

Subject: controlling services by hostgroup?
Message-ID: <893B1D75-CD83-45F5-A091-2AFF5C191E9E@email.unc.edu>

I'm looking for some sanity checking of my logic here.

What I've been doing is controlling services by mapping them to  
hostgroups.  So, basically, I have a hostgroup for each type of  
service check, except for some basic checks that I lump together.

Why?  Because it makes it extremely easy to manage hosts.  I create a  
host definition in a new file, i list all the hostgroups to which the  
host belongs, and the host then inherits all the service checks it  
needs.  Adding and deleting hosts means only touching one file, the  
file containing the host definition.

In practice it works great, but it has some real annoyances too.  For  
example, my hostgroups look like servicegroups!  It confuses people.   
I also have way more hostgroups than is desirable to be displayed in  
the web interface.  And trying to map the logical groups or  
environments in my company is right out the window, since the  
hostgroups don't represent a logical or conceptual view of the  
environments within the company.

What are other people doing?  One thing I thought of that would help  
is if you could choose what hostgroups were actually displayed in the  
web interface.  That way I could have logical groups based on  
departments or something shown as hostgroups, while service-specific  
hostgroups weren't displayed.

Any comments would be greatly appraciated.

Cheers!
Jonathan

Message-ID: <loom.20080205T003620-225@post.gmane.org>

Hi guys,

i am trying to get stats thru check_snmp plugin & plot it thru NagiosGrapger.
I have been successful in this.However i am not able to determine as to how does
nagios understand the total memory of a switch or a router when i have merely
taken value for a single oid(1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.5.1-ciscoMemoryPoolUsed).
what i want to know is the critical value which i give say 70%, of what total
value  is this 70%.How does nagios calculate the percentage to understand the
critical level.Does it get the total memory from switch or router.....How does
this work.....

Nagios Version -2.10
OS-RHEL 5.0
nagios-plugins version--- nagios-plugins-1.4.9-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
NagiosGrapher--1.6.1-rc5

Thanks in advance.

I configure nagios the same way.

I break up my configurations under various sub-directories under 
../etc/cfgdir:

     ~nagios/etc/cfgdir/contacts/
     ~nagios/etc/cfgdir/commands/
     ~nagios/etc/cfgdir/services/
     ~nagios/etc/cfgdir/hosts/

Nagios is configured to include everything in ~nagios/etc/cfgdir/ and each 
configuration file ending in .cfg is read into nagios.

Ideally I would want a comma-separated list of services run on a host 
defined within the host stanza.  In large server farms I find that we have 
overall services (smtp, web, java, etc) running across many servers. 
It's easier to define a host within a single config file (HOSTNAME.cfg) 
and within the host stanza, configure it to be part of the "unix,smtp,ssh" 
hostgroups.  The smtp hostgroup automatically checks port 25.  In the unix 
hostsgroup, nagios automatically checks users, load, disks, procs, etc via 
check_nrpe.

   * If you have a custom service running on web12 only, define it within
web12.mydomain.com.cfg.

   * If web12.mydomain.com has hardware failure and dies, change 
web12.mydomain.com.cfg to web12.mydomain.com.DISABLED within 
~nagios/etc/cfgdir/hosts/ and restart nagios.  It's gone immediately 
including the one-off service running on that host yet you still retain a 
record that the host was there.  Once the box is repaired, restoring it is 
just as fast.

   * If you need to add web12 to some java service your monitoring, after 
you logon to web12 and get it configured, edit the web12.mydomain.com.cfg.

   * If you add web13 and it runs the exact same services as web12, copy 
web12.mydomain.com.cfg to web13.mydomain.com.cfg and change only hostname 
and IP.  Restart nagios.  You're done.

Our group has found the advantages outweigh the annoyances.  We also use 
service groups to define service escalations for groups of services.

Marty Combs

Hi there,

Nice to see some other people had the same idea to simplify their 
config. :-)

Additionally i can say, that i order hosts in multiple hostgroups to 
stick them together logically. For example:

HostA and Host B are both members of server-hp, os-linux, net-drbd, 
net-bond0, task-oracle.

Both belong to the same Project along with some other hosts (routers, 
switches, sensors...), so all of those machines belong to a hostgroup 
"ProjectA", combining them to a logical unit.

As far as i can see, it doesn't bring up any performance issues in 
Nagios 3.0(b7) to add a host to multiple hostgroups. Back in the old 
days, service groups rendered my nagios installation (2.3) to a nearly 
unusable state by growing service latencies to incredible numbers.
Now, i'm working with ~600 hosts and ~5400 services with a latency of 
1.6 secs, having large numbers of hosts in multiple hostgroups.

Regards,

Marcus

check_snmp doesn't perform any calculations at all, nor does nagios.  
It also doesn't query any more than the specific OID you tell it to.  
SNMP data can be _anything_ and check_snmp has no idea what it might  
be. You must supply the warning and critical values or ranges to  
check_snmp on the command line that the plugin will compare to the  
queried SNMP value. If you're querying 'used memory in bytes', your  
warning and critical values must be in bytes as well. If you're  
querying 'number of people seen passing in front of the camera', your  
warning and critical values must be an integer (one would hope).

Subject: conditional variable usage (host specific settings)
Message-ID: <20080205173803.GA28329@zaphod.krikkit.nl>

Hi there,

Can I add $ARGn$ like variables to service definitions that are loading
other templates? I have this:

 | define service {
 |         use                     svc-ssh
 |         host_name               box.example.net
 |         service_description     ssh
 |         }

This uses the following more generic definitions:

 | define service {
 |         name                            svc-ssh
 |         use                             svc
 |         register                        0
 |         check_command                   check_ssh
 |         }
 | 
 | define command {
 |         command_name    check_ssh
 |         command_line    $USER1$/check_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ 
 |         }

I want to check ssh on $HOSTADDRESS$ for the majority of servers. There
are however a number of exeptions. These servers must be checked on
their secondary IP address.

Now, can I add something to the first "service definition" so I can
specify it *only* if the second IP address must be used? So, in the
third definition, it should be something like "use specific value if
specified, otherwise use $HOSTADDRESS$".

I am aware I can provide variables using $ARG1$ from the second to the
third definition. But can I do the same from the first to the second
definition?

Subject: check_snmp_xxx-- Return code of 127 - plug-in may be
	missing
Message-ID: <020520081811.24075.47A8A6BF0002770E00005E0B2216551406CFCF0B97010D9C079D080C@comcast.net>

I am new to Nagios. I am hoping the answer to my question is a simple one. I have worked hard to try and resolve this but I must ask the community for help.
 
Specifically I am trying to use the GWFL SNMP HP-Proliant plug-in  to actively monitor the status of the HP Proliant HW such as temperature and network errors. If I run these commands from the command line on the Nagios server they work fine.
 
Also note that I am running the NSClient++ on this managed host and all of the check_nt commands seem to be working.
 
>From what I can tell Nagios is attempting to run these check commands on the managed host as an external command. I cannot find how to tell Nagios to run this command on the Nagios server. I receive the same error using other check_snmp_xxx commands as well. OK.. Below are the meat and potatoes but note that these .cfg files have gone through various iterations and may not be in the exact syntax defined by the documentation.
 
Any and all advice is welcome.

No, you cannot. I think the closest you can get would be to specify a
different check_command in your first definition that would override the
template check_command. This other check_command could take the argument
of the address you want to check.

I've got one server that is getting tanked right now.  (Load average in
the 50's) Is it worth it to rewrite the many perl scripts I have to use
Embedded Perl and the Nagios::Plugin CPAN module?

I'm speaking in terms of performance and also in terms of future Nagios
releases/compatibility.

You need to specify an interface by the ifIndex.  HSRP groups are per
interface.  I haven't tested the HSRP portion of the code very extensively
so let me know if you run into any more problems.

You need to use -t hsrp as well.  Note it will return ok on standby and
active and only critical on other states.  I did this on purpose as it was
to be used in conjunction with trap processing.

Hi Jonathan,

Yes and yes.  You will notice a huge decrease in load if you move to
ePN, just make sure you code to the Plugin standards for ePN and make
sure you scope variables properly so you don't have memory leaks in
your code (same situation as if you were writing code for mod_perl).

I think there is a  pretty solid group of people using ePN, if
anything my hope is that future releases will add the option of
enabling other embedded interpreters at compile time (Lua, ruby,
python, PHP) the way the Net-SNMP project, RRDtool,  and others do :).

This error indicates that the path to the plugin in the command{}
definition is incorrect or the plugin filename is wrong.

You almost certainly mean --

		command_line  $USER1$/check_snmp_nics -H $HOSTADDRESS$
$ARG1$

...assuming that $USER1$ is defined as /usr/local/nagios/libexec (or
whatever the path is) in resource.cfg.

I currently use ePN for all my active checks (though most are only every 60
minutes since I rely on passive means).  The only thing I run outside of ePN
is my notification script as I haven't had the urge or need to rewrite it to
load under the ePN.  I don't use the Nagios::Plugin CPAN module though, just
the utils.pm.

I have seen many reports of memory leaks but I've yet to see any on this or
any earlier deployment.

Anyone have any ideas how to tackle this problem?  Most of my active checks
are run very rarely (60 minutes) so if one is checked while the host is down
it takes longer than I would like to see a recovery.  I want to reduce
unnecessary e-mail alerts too (recoveries of said services).

It's a strange request. Maybe you need to explain better why you think
you need to do this or what you're trying to accomplish. If nagios is
allowed to continue its service checks, it'll recognize the host
recovery with the first service check after it does recover. This is
part of the core design of nagios.

Host A is detected down.  I perform simple ICMP checks for this.  Checking
services for this host is pointless as they are going to fail.  I would
simply like active service checks to be halted until the host recovers.  The
host recovery is handled by the host checks which will run every retry
interval.  There is no need to check services to detect recovery.

To prevent any possible problems with the host not being detected on its
recovery I will simply reschedule checks for all services in 5 minutes from
the recovery.

Subject: NDO and Nagvis Integration
Message-ID: <ED902208A5991B4CA07C4401264645531E08EC@tlgbmailsrv1.toscaltd.com>

Hello,

 

I am having an issue integrating NDO and Nagvis into my Nagios
installation.  

 

I get the following error when I try to view a nagvis map:

 


Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL
result resource in
/usr/local/nagios/share/nagvis/nagvis/includes/classes/GlobalBackend-ndo
my.php on line 58

 

nagiosNotRunning: NDOMy: Nagios not running (Backend ndomy_1)

NDO reports that Nagios is not running

 

After reading this board and the nagvis website apparently this is not
an unusual error; however, I have taken all the steps that have been
suggested previously and still nothing.  Here is a list of all the
pertinent information I can think of.

 

System:

CentOS 4.6

MySQL 4.1.20

Nagios 2.9

Nagvis 1.2.2

NDOutils 1.4b7

 

Troubleshooting sofar:

Ensured nagios.cfg file has 

Event_broker_options=-1

Check_external_commands=1

Command_check_interval=10s

Checked ndo2db.cfg and ndomod.cfg for appropriate database settings

Monitoring of /var/log/messages revealed no information in reference to
'ndo' (ie. Cat '/var/log/messages | grep ndo').

 

I am also getting an error on the same page that says:

 

Warning: Unknown: open(/tmp/sess_7ebd84ff779d34acebacc2ad3ad9416a,
O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify
that the current setting of session.save_path is correct () in Unknown
on line 0

 

I am not sure what exactly this is saying because it does not reference
a file that I can see, but I have double checked the directory and file
permissions in /usr/local/nagios/share/nagvis and everything seems to be
set appropriately.

 

I would appreciate any available assistance with this matter, and I look
forward to getting nagvis up and running.

 

-James

I've tried googling for the plugin (check_ifoperstatus.0.7.pl) to guess
where you got it but there's only one result returned --

Gmane -- Mail To News And Back Again
check_ifoperstatus.0.7.pl -H 10.31.1.8 -C ubetcha --hsrpgrp 10 Usage:

Similar pages - Note this

You should always say where you obtained non-standard plugins to be sure
that you're getting help with the plugin you're using. If it's this
plugin
(http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Networking.53.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_
view]=1099), it looks like you might need to add a '-t hsrpgrp' based on
the --help.

p.s. You shouldn't test your plugins as root but rather as the nagios
user. Most plugin problems are related to user permissions. You wouldn't
see that testing as root.

Thank you very much for the assistance, but I just realized that I
accidently missed a, apparently, crucial step in the installation. 

I forgot to add the second part of the broker_module command:
broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod-2x.o
config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg

Adding it cleared up my database issues and chmod 777 /tmp cleared up my
second issue.   Anyway I appreciate your quick response to my question.

Hi Everyone,

I am having some problems getting email notifications on a new Nagios server
I just built. I have only setup PING and SMTP checks to see if everything is
working properly. The Event Log on the web interface shows the following
message:

[02-05-2008 17:14:02] Warning: Attempting to execute the command
"/usr/bin/mail/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.6 *****\n\nNotification Type:
PROBLEM\nHost: SMTP\nState: DOWN\nAddress: <IP ADDRESS>\nInfo: PING CRITICAL
- Packet loss = 100%\n\nDate/Time: Tue Feb 5 17:14:02 EST 2008\n" | -s "Host
DOWN alert for SMTP!" <EMAIL ADDRESS>" resulted in a return code of 127.
Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually exists...

I ran apt-get mailx as per someone?s instructions in order to get email
notifications and also changed /bin/mail to /usr/bin/mail in commands.cfg
specifically in the email notifications section.

Any ideas on how to get email notifications fixed?

Thanks.

Have you done what the error message suggests, and looked to see if
/usr/bin/mail/printf actually exists?

Betchya it doesn't.

In /usr/bin there is mail and printf. Should I be using /usr/bin/mail or
/usr/bin/printf before the notification string?

You're command line should look like this:

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.6 *****\n\nNotification Type:
PROBLEM\nHost: SMTP\nState: DOWN\nAddress: <IP ADDRESS>\nInfo: PING
CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%\n\nDate/Time: Tue Feb 5 17:14:02 EST

In /usr/bin there is mail and printf. Should I be using /usr/bin/mail or
/usr/bin/printf before the notification string?

Subject: snmpwalk works, but check_snmp does not
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40802051545o17aa0649uf45354d03166b493@mail.gmail.com>

I have an interesting issue when using the Nagios plugin to make an SNMP
query to a Netscreen 208.

I have two Nagios servers -- Gentoo and CentOS -- and one of the check_snmp
commands are not working on CentOS server (Nagios03) when I run it *exactly*
from the command line like I do in Gentoo (Nagios01)

e.g.

>From CentOS (does not work)

[root at nagios03 plugins]# pwd
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins
[root at nagios03 plugins]# ./check_snmp -C myPublicString -o
nsVpnMonP2State.0-l DC_VPN_Status -c 1: -H
10.0.11.9
DC_VPN_Status problem - No data received from host
CMD: /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 1 -c myPublicString 10.0.11.9:161
nsVpnMonP2State.0

>From Gentoo (works)

nagios01 libexec # pwd
/usr/nagios/libexec
nagios01 libexec # ./check_snmp -C myPublicString -o nsVpnMonP2State.0 -l
DC_VPN_Status -c 1: -H 10.0.11.9
DC_VPN_Status OK - 1 | NETSCREEN-VPN-MON-MIB::nsVpnMonP2State.0=1;;;;

Normally, I'd think that it is an issue with the polled device not being
configured properly, but since I can 'snmpwalk' it from the CentOS
box in question, I'm not sure what to do.

Any suggestions?

Two things:

First, never manually check a plugin as root, as you often won't get the
same results you would as the user Nagios runs as.  That probably won't
help in this case, but it will almost certainly bite you in the ass in
the future.

Second, you've got the snmpget command being sent to the box... what
happens when you run that (again, use the user Nagios runs as)?

When you do an snmpwalk, are you able to see the nsVpnMonP2State OID?

Subject: Slightly off topic, but hopefully you can help
Message-ID: <f8251e26bb18.bb18f8251e26@kent.edu>

List, 
  I am doing a school project and I wanted to do something with
nagios/monitoring. I am in a business class and my team wants to create
a consulting firm that specializes in network
technology/topology/monitoring. We are going to use Nagios as the base
for our monitoring solution, as we all have experience with it in our
real life jobs, and therefore can build a good business plan as to why
the software is the best option. What I am wondering is if anyone on
this list that actually does Nagios support/consulting can give me a few
pointer/highlights to hit on, some pricing information and what kind of
support packages your company offers as a base. Thanks!

I do the following for HSRP:

 

define command{

        command_name    check-hsrp

        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -P 2c -C
$ARG1$ -o SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.106.1.2.1.1.13.$ARG2$ -s
'IpAddress: $ARG3$'

        }

 

$ARG1$ is community

$ARG2$ is the appropriate OID suffix for the interface

$ARG3$ is normally active IP

 

I have not used check_ifoperstatus before, though it looks interesting.

Message-ID: <20080206112302.snucxc8k68g88884@intra.expertise-online.net>


Hi list,

I have a question regarding web interface authorization with nagios 3.

What i understood is that

- you can have peoples not in contact for a host or service that can  
view all hosts and services but cannot issue commands for them (wiht  
right permissions).
- You can have peoples define as contact for a host or service than  
can view and command all hosts and services for which they are contact.

The questions are :

Can you have people as contact for host and service that can view  
those hosts and services but CANNOT issue command on them. How can i  
achieve this ?
Can you have people not define as contact for a host and service to  
see only certains hostgroups or servicegroups and don't issue commands  
on them ?

Hope it's clear enough for you guys ;-)

Thanks for any suggestions

Of course I have thought about that option, but it would be sub-optimal
only. If I would need to change some other option to the check_command,
I would need to change it at several locations (which I want to avoid,
and which is why I am using templating).

But of course, nit-picking, as no one needs to change check_command
options frequently - not me anyway.

Thanks a lot for the answer.

Thanks you very much. That's what was missing, and now I should be able to
proceed.

[nagios at nmsweb ~]$ ./check_ifoperstatus.0.7.pl -H 10.31.1.106 -C public -k
175 -t hsrpgrp --hsrpgrp 85
OK - Interface 'Vl85' HSRP Group 85 status is 'standby' (index 175)

Thanks,

Subject: How to submit passive test results from a script?
Message-ID: <1202310999.4586.23.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have a service running on nagios server and I would like to submit
passive test results from a client script.

I see that nagios has an interface to submit those results:

https://my.nagios.com/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?
cmd_typ=30&host=my.host.com&service=nagios+test+service&

I go there and I see a form. All it takes is to fill this form and then
clic submit.

So I figured out that if I embed the form fields in URL and then load
the URL then I will effectively submit the form. So I do:

https://my.nagios.com/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?
cmd_typ=30&host=my.host.com&service=nagios+test
+service&plugin_state=3&plugin_output=pluginOuttput&performance_data=test&btnSubmit=Commit

I load this page - and nothing happens.

How do you submit passive test results to nagios from scripts?

Tom

List, 
  Hi Command as I like to call it has asked to put Nagios on an https
site. That is all well and fine, but I can't get it to work for some
reason. I followed the faq and have everything set up exactly as it
states, but still no worky. Apache2 is compiled and ssl support is all
set up. I checked the firewall and it is passing 443 traffic just fine.
I am missing something somewhere though. Anyone have a how-to on getting
this going on Ubuntu?

Take a look at NSCA, you'll find the framework on the nagios homepage.

Sounds like difficult questions to ask, even privately, but I wouldn't
mind hearing it either. There aren't enough companies out there doing
it themselves, or even enough offering it on a consulting basis in my
opinion. Then you have those companies that offer it but don't know
what they're doing...

Either via NSCA or External Commands.

Since you're local to the nagios server with this script, external
commands would probably be the way to go.

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php

Specifically:
http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=114

Uhm, there is nothing special you need to do to make nagios run with 
https.
https is only a webserver configuration, nagios does not make use of 
absolute URIs - so it doesn't care for http or https.

As previously indicated, nagios doesn't know or care if it's HTTP or
HTTPS. That's all in the web server configuration assuming that you have
nagios working via HTTP.

While it's most likely an Apache configuration issue, if you want more
help, you should tell us what the problem is, specifically, and not just
highlights of what you've checked. "can't get it to work" just isn't
enough information. Specific error information, log snippets, nagios
version and how installed, what specific configuration changes you made
to support HTTPS, etc are all needed.

I'll let my friend google answer that one, because he is more worldly
and knowledgeable than I:
http://www.google.com/search?q=nagios+nsca

Short Answer:  NSCA is a daemon that accepts check results from the
network on behalf of nagios.

I thought your question pre-supposed the script was local to the server
box?  If you are on a remote host you can submit results via NSCA (see
link above).  You could, of course, always just script a web transaction
using the CGI's, but that's soooooo 1997. :)

Also, please always reply on-list so other people can learn from your
experience.

Might help to at least know how you're sending alerts now and what
helpdesk application you're using.

Just guessing, but if you helpdesk app accepts e-mails that would seem
to be the easiest...

Depends on the helpdesk system you use.  I added my helpdesk email
address as a contact for nagios so that any host or service down results
in a ticket being created via email with my helpdesk system.

Hey Olivier,

I haven't tested 3.x extensively yet but I don't see anything in the
documentation about contact permissions that's different than 2.x so
I'll take a stab --

Correct for both.

Set the 'can_submit_commands' parameter to the contact{} definition as
you like.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#contact

> Can you have people not define as contact for a host and service to

No. There's no facility for limiting what's seen by authorized users
outside of being a contact for the host/service.

The problem actually turned out to be the fact that that OID-MIB association
wasn't on that box.  So I scp'd the contents of the /etc/snmp folder to the
new box, and everything works perfectly now.

The reason it doesn't work if because it is a POST request. You actually
have to send the fields in the content of the request (and the url may
be different, usually without any URL fields as they can go in the
request body). You should read more about the HTTP protocol if you want
to understand how it works.

Although, as other have already said, NSCA is likely what you want...

Hi list,

I've Nagios 2.9 installed from ubuntu packages. I've noticed an abnormal 
nagios comportment ( double notification, hosts just added not found in 
the web...).
Watching to running nagios process I've found more than one, doing a 
normal Nagios stop haven't stopped all running process. To have a normal 
working I'v to kill them by hand.
Can you help me solving the problem?

Best regards

Subject: Docs at leats partially wrong
Message-ID: <20080207114309.GA3313@eric.schwarzvogel.de>

Hi! 

We've been using the $ADDRESSN$ macro in our notification
commands while we were using 2.x. Since we upgraded, some
notifications fail - since said macro does not seem to be
expanded anymore.

The docs are inconsistent in this regard. On one hand,

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#contact

says: 

addressx: Address directives are used to define additional
"addresses" for the contact. These addresses can be anything -
cell phone numbers, instant messaging addresses, etc. Depending
on how you configure your notification commands, they can be used
to send out an alert o the contact. Up to six addresses can be
defined using these directives (address1 through address6). The
$CONTACTADDRESSx$ macro will contain this value.

But then,

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html

does not list said macro. If anything, one of the pages is wrong.
I see no obvious reason to not exapnd those macros/attributes
anymore, so I suspect a bug.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Tobias

I think you've got it. Stop nagios, kill the remaining processes,  
start nagios.

I had some issues with the nagios.conf file and SSL too.  I just dumped 
it and setup my own config in ssl.conf...

# mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf.orig

# edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and add:
#Added for Nagios

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
   Options ExecCGI
   SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share"
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
   SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>

#end Nagios

I have mod_rewrite forcing https connections as well.  I use 
mod_auth_ldap for authentication, so I removed the user authorization 
stuff too.

Hello,

I had a similar problem with 3.0rc2. I set address1 and used  
$CONTACTADDRESS1$ and it did not work for me.

However, when I set address2 and used $CONTACTADDRESS1$ it seemed to work  
fine - so perhaps there's a bug in there somewhere.

Try setting all 6 of them and send all six to your command and see what  
happens...

Hi. I had the same problem - it seemed that defining address2 and using  
$CONTACTADDRESS1$ (or the other way around) worked. Not sure why, I'll do  
some more testing tomorrow.

These statements seem to be in conflict because can_submit_commands does
not appear to be available in 2.0.  Argh, I really wanted that too...

It is a conflict that I didn't realize I had made until after I'd sent
the message. My original response was that they were identical based on
reading the CGIAuth doccos, but in doing research before sending I saw a
patch submitted and applied to 3.x that provided the can_submit_commands
functionality to contacts specifically. My response change appropriately
further down but I didn't re-read the top to catch my mistake.

Anyone know if that patch can be applied against 2.10 by chance?  I'll
try and investigate on my own as well.

What does the defition for the contacts in the beick contact_group look 
like? Do the contacts have notifications enabled correctly? Does your 
notification command work properly? We need a bit more info then just the 
service object.

Subject: Nagios checkresults queue grows over time
Message-ID: <93344bf0802080754y59469127l9f8322bff987225e@mail.gmail.com>

I have two Nagios 3.0 cr1 systems, (A) on a 2.8ghz Solaris 10 system
with 212 hosts and (B) the other on VPS multiple core system with
2,916 hosts.  Both systems, after the initial host check, has it's
[/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults] grow in size till nagios in
non responsive.

    (A) Has a modified configuration with a longer
"cached_host_check_horizon=2700" and
"cached_service_check_horizon=1800".  I tried to stretch out the time
frame that checks were accepted.

    (B) Has a more standard configuration with reasonable cache counts.

Both systems are using "use_large_installation_tweaks=1" and otherwise
are standardly configured.  Each system allows 45 minutes to finish
the host checks.  I've also tried this configuration without host
checks.

Both systems have very low CPU utilization after the initial host
check and hardly go over 20% during regular operations.

The checkresults queue does go up and down in the number of 'check'
files, often dropping down as much as 200 checks, the popping backup
twice as much.  I've tried tuning the "max_check_result_file_age=3600"
which tends to make the queue last longer.

I'm also purging the queue of files older than 90 minutes with ...
0,15,30,45 * * * * ( /usr/local/bin/find
/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults -type f -mmin +90 -exec
/bin/rm -f {} \; ) > /dev/null 2>&1
... in the crontab.

Finally, here's what I see in the log files ...
[1202485459] Warning: The check of host 'FQDN0.com' looks like it was
orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check
of the host...
[1202485459] Warning: The check of host 'FQDN1.com' looks like it was
orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check
of the host...
[1202485459] Warning: The check of host 'FQDN2.com' looks like it was
orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check
of the host...
... which again is why I tuned the "max_check_result_file" and am
purging the queue of really old files.  (I've also tested very short
"max_check_result_file", at the current setting I've minimized
flapping.)

Other checks that didn't improve the situation ...
 -- Nice'd the nagios process to give highest priority possible.
Increased CPU load a little, but over time got the same idle
conditions after checks where complete.
 -- Stretched out checks to > 15 minutes for critical services and > 2
hours for "nice to know about" services.  Made queues fill up less
frequently.
 -- Looked at disk performance and swapping.  Neither system is
swapping nor does it have bottlenecks around disk issues.

With the purge routine, I won't see a file in the queue older than 90
minutes.  Does this mean "max_check_result_file" isn't working?  What
other parameters can I adjust?  Anyone have any ideas of what's going
on?

Best,

Justin

Subject: problem with using "hostgroup_name" in service
	definitions: Error: Hostgroup name and/or alias is NULL
Message-ID: <20080208160612.GB2866@banach.uvt.nl>

Hi,

Is it possible at all to _not_ have an explicit object (with it's own
"define") in the nagios configuration for the number of hosts times the
number of services on each such host?

I assume it _is_ possible, using "hostgroup_name" in service definitions
(I've seen it documented on
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/templatetricks.html#service ).

However, when I do:

 define service {
        hostgroup_name                  load-cat3-unix-hostgroup
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_load
[...]
 }

 define service {
        hostgroup_name                  ssh-cat3-unix-hostgroup
        check_command                   check_ssh
[...]
 }

 define host {
        name                            cat3-unix-host
        hostgroups                      [...], load-cat3-unix-hostgroup, ssh-cat3-unix-hostgroup
[...]
 }

 define host {
        host_name                       radix
[...]
        use                             cat3-unix-host
 }

nagios -v gives:

 Error: Hostgroup name and/or alias is NULL
 Error: Could not register hostgroup

How should I use the hostgroup_name-trick in a service-definition?


Below is a more complete story of the setup we're using, giving more
details.  If even more details are needed, I'll happily supply them.

At our site, we're upgrading our monitoring-server from Nagios1 to
Nagios2 (and from Debian sarge to Debian etch).  In the process, we'd
like to trim our unwieldy Nagios configuration (it's > 400 K currently,
we're monitoring > 500 hosts).

Here are some relevant bits of our proposed configuration:

/etc/nagios2-test/nagios.cfg :

 [...]
 cfg_file=/etc/nagios2-test/contactgroups.cfg
 cfg_file=/etc/nagios2-test/contacts.cfg

        register                        0
 }


/etc/nagios2-test/unix_hosts.cfg :

 define host {

        register                        0

/etc/nagios2-test/unix_services.cfg :

        check_command                   check_ssh
        use                             categorie3-service
 }


With this configuration, running

 joostvb at infix:~% /usr/sbin/nagios2 -v /etc/nagios2-test/nagios.cfg

gives

 Nagios 2.6

 Error: Hostgroup name and/or alias is NULL
 Error: Could not register hostgroup (config file '/etc/nagios2-test/hostgroups.cfg', starting on line 2)
 ***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

We're using the nagios2 Debian package version 2.6-2+etch1 as shipped
with Debian GNU/Linux etch.

Any clues or hints on how to tackle this problem would be very much
appreciated.

Thanks, Bye,

I don't use this particular trick but it looks like you just need to
define the hostgroups. I know that just the implication of a hostgroup
definition is not enough.

define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  load-cat3-unix-hostgroup
        alias           My Favorite Hostgroup
}
define hostgroup {
        hostgroup_name  ssh-cat3-unix-hostgroup
        alias           My Least Favorite Hostgroup
}

I'm managing 2,900+ hosts on one environment and have found you do
need to define each object completely, however, you can use an object
oriented approach of inherited characteristics.

With this I create a directory for each business unit or group, then a
file in each directory for each host type (i.e. static, dynamic, core,
...), with a generic host for each file with characteristics specific
to that group.  This way I only need 4 lines for host definitions (5
if you have a 'parents' defined.)  The top of the file defines any
group specific host checks or intervals.

This is kind of like your [/etc/nagios2-test/head_hosts.cfg] example,
except I may have "hosts_network.cfg" and a "hosts_core.cfg" each with
a more expanded first definition, "lean-host" in your example,
followed by a list of all hosts associated to that definition.

The same works for services definitions and host dependencies.  Think
"monitoring groups" rather than "monitoring hosts" then layout hosts
in groups by category or purpose.  See:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html

I find this also works for building host groups and when multiple
people might be updating the configuration files.

Best,

Justin

Hello Everyone, 

I have a question and asking for some advice.  I have an Exchange server
and one of the windows admins who controls the exchange servers, would
like for me to have Nagios check an individual mailbox by sending and
email, receiving the email and deleting the email from the mailbox.
basically he wants to make sure that mail is flowing both in and out of
the exchange servers. 

Is anyone checking anything like this? Is he out of his mind? any ideas
are welcome. 

Thanks,

Luis

check_email_loop.pl in the nagios-plugins contrib/ folder works like a
charm.

Message-ID: <433B29EA-79D2-42CA-9904-61774FA1E281@email.unc.edu>

Hi, I'm using distributed pollers, reporting to an aggregator server.   
Right now I'm seeing 'OK' for every service on the aggregator, but on  
the actual pollers, there are numerous warning states.  Any ideas what  
I've wrong?  Here's look at my ocsp definition:

# 'submit_check_result' command definition; see ocsp_command in  
nagios.cfg, for use with nsca
define command{
         command_name    submit_check_result

distributed-monitoring/submit_check_result_via_nsca $HOSTNAME$  
'$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$|$SERVICEPERFDATA$'

I would suggest testing each point along the path

ensure the remote can reach the nsca daemon on the aggregator
execute the send nsca command with manually entered data
turn on debug mode on the nsca daemon and look for incoming data in  
log files
look at the nagios logs on the aggregator, are there unrecognized  
hosts/services?

Message-ID: <47ACE288.3070000@ptwebserv.net>

First of all i want to say hello. I am a new user of Nagios and allot of 
things still elude me on this brilliant piece of software.

I want to modify the alert mails, but i am unable to find where this can 
be done...

Also i am having problems with permissions when installing nagvis or 
other scripts that use a sub-dir of the share directory, When opened in 
a browser i get permission denied or Error 500 Internal server error.

What should be the default permissions on this share directory and all 
its subs?

(System is running CentOS with Apac+PHP compiled with suPHP and 
mod_security)

Sorry if those questions are trivial even if they do not belong on this 
list. I would appriciate any help you cn give me.

Best regards,

Carlos

This depends completely on how your Nagios installation is configured.
Somewhere in there your command(s) to send email notification should be
defined, and somewhere else you'll find the command that actually does
the mailing.  There's a good chance a file search for "mail" would be 
your friend here.

As long as your webserver can read the directories, you're fine.
However, a 500 error from a webserver does not usually indicate a
permission error; it's usually an indicator that you're trying to run a
script that's failing.  Your webserver errer logs would be a good place
to look for more details.

Dear Folks,

Please would someone help me out with what may be a bug in global event
handlers in 3.0 alpha (not
rc1 or 2 since there is nothing in the Changelog that seems to warrant
upgrade) ?

I have a (gloal host) event handler called like so

command_line    $USER2$/global_host_event_handler $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$
$HOSTSTATETYPE$ $LASTHOSTUP$ $LASTHOSTDOWN$ $LASTHOSTUNREACHABLE$
$HOSTDOWNTIME$

I expect that $LASTHOSTUP$ when $HOSTSTATE$ eq UP and $HOSTSTATETYPE eq
HARD, to be the time the handler was called, and
              $LASTHOSTDOWN$ to contain, generally, the time that the
host was detected in a (hard) down state.

Right so far ?

The Nagios logs show records like so

[sh1517 at acisp057 nagios]$ tail -500 nagios.log | perl -lne 'print if
/Hobart/ && /EVENT|HARD/ && !/SERV/' | ./ns-time_t2localtime Sat Feb  9

but in 3.0alpha, the event handlers arguments have these values (dumped
by the handler when it's called)

Sat Feb  9 06:48:49 2008 : Hobart UP HARD 1202500129 1202499949
1200659464 0

or in localtime format,

[sh1517 at acisp057 nagios]$ perl -le 'print join " ", map { localtime($_)
. "" } qw(1202500129 1202499949 1200659464)'
Sat Feb  9 06:48:49 2008 Sat Feb  9 06:45:49 2008 Fri Jan 18 23:31:04
2008

ie the $LASTHOSTDOWN$ is 06:45:49 instead of 03:3:39 !!

The event handler is perhaps foolish to rely on the macros, but what is
wrong here ?

Is it the macro value ?
Is it the event handler call from Nagios ?
Is it something that needs fixing before a 3.0 release ?

I am sure this behaviour is different to that in 2.9 since I was using
this event handler with only minor changes thruought the 2.x series and
producing reports from that data each month (for about 18 months).

The docco for 3.x LASTHOST macros is, as far as I can tell, exactly the
same as for 2.x, so this appears to be an undocumented (and unwelcome)
change.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Dear Folks,

Please would someone help me out with what may be a bug in global event
handlers in 3.0 alpha (not
rc1 or 2 since there is nothing in the Changelog that seems to warrant
upgrade) ?

I have a (gloal host) event handler called like so

command_line    $USER2$/global_host_event_handler $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$
$HOSTSTATETYPE$ $LASTHOSTUP$ $LASTHOSTDOWN$ $LASTHOSTUNREACHABLE$
$HOSTDOWNTIME$

I expect that $LASTHOSTUP$ when $HOSTSTATE$ eq UP and $HOSTSTATETYPE eq
HARD, to be the time the handler was called, and
              $LASTHOSTDOWN$ to contain, generally, the time that the
host was detected in a (hard) down state.

Right so far ?

The Nagios logs show records like so

[sh1517 at acisp057 nagios]$ tail -500 nagios.log | perl -lne 'print if
/Hobart/ && /EVENT|HARD/ && !/SERV/' | ./ns-time_t2localtime Sat Feb  9

loss = 0%, RTA = 32.19 ms Sat Feb  9 06:48:49 2008 GLOBAL HOST EVENT
HANDLER: Hobart;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler


but in 3.0alpha, the event handlers arguments have these values (dumped
by the handler when it's called)

Sat Feb  9 06:48:49 2008 : Hobart UP HARD 1202500129 1202499949
1200659464 0

or in localtime format,

[sh1517 at acisp057 nagios]$ perl -le 'print join " ", map { localtime($_)
. "" } qw(1202500129 1202499949 1200659464)'
Sat Feb  9 06:48:49 2008 Sat Feb  9 06:45:49 2008 Fri Jan 18 23:31:04
2008

ie the $LASTHOSTDOWN$ is 06:45:49 instead of 03:3:39 !!

The event handler is perhaps foolish to rely on the macros, but what is
wrong here ?

Is it the macro value ?
Is it the event handler call from Nagios ?
Is it something that needs fixing before a 3.0 release ?

I am sure this behaviour is different to that in 2.9 since I was using
this event handler with only minor changes thruought the 2.x series and
producing reports from that data each month (for about 18 months).

The docco for 3.x LASTHOST macros is, as far as I can tell, exactly the
same as for 2.x, so this appears to be an undocumented (and unwelcome)
change.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

>From my point of view, I will have to rewrite an event handler that

Well him being an exchange admin and all. I would guess that should

But the concept has been discussed here before and if memory serves me
well at least pluging to send via SMTP and validate via POP3 does exist.

Have you considered that the changelog might not be complete? I strongly
recommend you to DO upgrade first before you even think of sending in a
bug report. If you cannot do so as soon as you have a couple of minutes
then you should not be running 3.0 alpha to begin with.

And please do not reply to a message if you want to create a new
thread. It makes a mess of any threading system (like the archives) and
in this case even the subject is rather uninformative.

Hi,

Thanks Marc, the real problem isn't that I've to kill the process by 
hand but that this occurs every day !
May be I'm saying stupid thinks, but is this problem related the fact 
that I've given the nagios user a shell, and some of my colleges are 
using this account to add/remove hosts/services?

Having a shell wouldn't be the cause. How are you restarting nagios?  
It would appear that the restart process isn't working correctly. I  
assume you're restarting every day to activate config changes. Have  
you considered doing a reload/HUP instead of a full restart?

Dear Hugo, 

I am writing to thank you for your letter and say,

Of course ! 

But don't you think a _major_ change in behaviour should be documented, 
or a serious bug - think about it, blowing third party software out of
the water - 
acknowledged ? 

> I strongly recommend you to DO upgrade first before you even think of
sending in a bug report. 

Is it a bug ? 

If so, is it it fixed in rc2 ? 

If it hasn't been fixed in rc2, will it be fixed in the release ? 

> If you cannot do so as soon as you have a couple of minutes then you
should not be running 3.0 alpha to begin with. 

Hey man ! I spend time fulfilling _my_ responsibility by reporting a
potential problem and being perfectly 
willing to be corrected, and you say I should not test new software and
identify 
bugs - unless I am willing to do things you obviously are not - so that
when it is released, others 
are saved others from those bugs ! 

I could have diffed rc1, rc2 and alpha for an undocumented change; 
I could have identified the code (maybe) at fault, and may-maybe
submitted a patch; 
and yes, I was hoping, someone else might for me because it is not my
code, I am not 
familiar with it, and I lack the talent to do it quickly, if at at all. 

In other words, that's why I am asking for help, having done as much as
I could. 

Tell me I should upgrade to rc2 and the problem will go away because of
this evidence (such as was sent), 
and I will gladly upgrade (since I was hoping to go to the release
without every step, because for me, upgrade 
means package build, test, install and possibly rollback) and report the
result. 

Otherwise, your message is clearly 

"If you want to use alpha/rc1, 2, 3 .. nagios, don't whine about it on
Nag users". 

> And please do not reply to a message if you want to create a new
thread. It makes a mess of any threading system (like the archives)

> and in this case even the subject is rather uninformative. 

I beg your pardon (my employers domain has changed so the mail with the
correct subject and content bounced and as you 
can see from my tone, it is starting to become too hard).

The point is that doing a bug report on 3.0alphaX where there are at
least 2 release candidates have followed is not usefull.

If the problem still exists in in the latest release then it makes sense
to report it as such. But for any software is it not usefull to use
older versions to send in a bug report.

So my recommendations still stands. Upgrade to the latest 3.0 release
candidate and retest. Any other 3.0 version of nagios should be
considere obsolete and a bug report against those versions is pointless.

Hi all,

The official about page for nagios (
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/about.html#licensing )states:

"
Nagios is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License
Version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation. This gives you
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify Nagios under
certain conditions. Read the 'LICENSE' file in the Nagios distribution
or read the online version of the license for more details.

"

This says that the license is gpl version 2 however the hyperlink that
reads "online version of the license" links directly to the gpl
version 3. This may cause confusion as the linked license is different
from that included with the source code.

Regards,

Alan

I believe the "Error 500 Internal server error" is the default error that mod_security uses when it blocks something.  I would set the mod_security SecRuleEngine to "DetectionOnly" until everything is setup correctly, then turn it back on and tune the rules accordingly.

Hi

I am a newbie to Nagios, If i have to monitor SMTP and HTTP services using
Nagios

define service{
	host_name		linux-server
	service_description	check-disk-sda1
	check_command		check-disk!/dev/sda1
	max_check_attempts	5
	check_interval	5
	retry_interval	3
	check_period		24x7
	notification_interval	30
	notification_period	24x7
	notification_options	w,c,r
	contact_groups		linux-admins
	}

If i have to check_http check_smtp so will the directive check_command look
like

check_command check_http check_smtp

define service{
	host_name		linux-server
	service_description	check-disk-sda1
	check_command check_http check_smtp
	max_check_attempts	5
	check_interval	5
	retry_interval	3
	check_period		24x7
	notification_interval	30
	notification_period	24x7
	notification_options	w,c,r
	contact_groups		linux-admins
	}


Thanks and Regards

You'll need to create a new service{} definition for each unique service
you wish to check for each host you want to check*. Using your example
above, it looks like you'll need 3 service{} definitions --
	1 checking disk on sda1 (based on your example
service_description)
	1 checking HTTP using check_http
	1 checking SMTP using check_smtp

Templates can help you a lot. You can place all the common directives
like check_interval, retry_interval, etc in a template then reference
that template in each service definition. Your resulting service{}
definitions would only contain those directives that changed and likely
only be something like --

define service{
	name		my-service-template
	max_check_attempts	5
	check_interval	5
	retry_interval	3
	check_period		24x7
	notification_interval	30
	notification_period	24x7
	notification_options	w,c,r
	contact_groups		linux-admins
	register 	0
	}

define service{
	use my-service-template
	host_name linux-server
	service description My HTTP Check
	check_command check_http
}
define service{
	use my-service-template	
	host_name linux-server
	service description My SMTP Check
	check_command check_smtp
}
define service{
	use my-service-template
	host_name linux-server
	service description My Disk Check
	check_command check_disk_sda1 (or whatever it is)
}

The documentation and sample config files can be used as a reference for
templating, etc. The examples above are from memory so any syntax errors
are my own. The documentation should be your definitive reference.

* Note that there are some advanced template tricks that can help in
this regard but for your first start you might want to experiment with
simple definitions to understand the concepts.

Hi All,

 

Is there any way to get the source code/script of the nagios plugins
(like check_ping,Check_by_ssh etc) which are getting installed in binary
file mode? 

I just wanted to know more about the tests these tools do and modify
them as per my environment if required.

 

I tried searching for the plugin sources but could not find any. If
someone can point me to right way, it would be helpful.

 

Regards,

Tatyaso

Hi Tatyaso!

What you are looking for is nagiosplug SourceForge project:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/

This is where Nagios plugins are kept and developed.

Subject: ver. 3.x postgreSQL support
Message-ID: <200802111441.16936.dukenukem@vpcit.ru>

I want Nagios to store devices' data and log data in a
postgreSQL database.
I downloaded source files from official site, then read doc and did the 
following:

$./configure 
<..> --with-pgsql-xdata --with-pgsql-doith-pgsql-status --with-pgsql-retention --with-pgsql-extinfo

Then i run $ make all. Following the documentation 
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xdata-db.html), there should be 
scripts in contrib/database/ directory (Important: Scripts for creating 
tables for all types of external data for both MySQL and PostgreSQL databases 
can be found in the contrib/database/ directory of the distribution.) I found 
contrib directory but didn't find database directory inside, and scripts to 
create databases as well.

What do I do incorrect? And is there full manual about Nagios + postgreSQL?

Yourth faithfully,
Andrey.

Use the negate plugin to change the exit code to achieve the inverse 
result that you want.

If all you want to do is to run a plugin or something and submit the 
result to Nagios as a passive service check, then you want to use NSCA.

If you want to do it the easy and standard way, use the nsca_wrapper 
plugin I wrote which turns runs a plugin you supply on the command line 
and then submits the result to Nagios. It saves having to reinvent the 
scripted wheel for this as it's a complete waste of time (I realized I 
didn't want to write a wrapper script for every new passive service 
check, hence this is generic enough for converting and standard plugin 
check in to a passive service check that you can just easily stick in Cron).

If you are curious how to do it, just read my code, it's Bash and 
available on Nagios Exchange here:

Hi,

I have installed nagios 3.0rc2 on a machine
and run the nagios daemon process on a other
/var/spool/nagios
and /var/log/nagios are shared over NFS
and it works pretty fine.

BUT! when I want to add/remove a comment, reschedule or submit passive
results, cmd.cgi freeze !

The idea is to have only one virtual machine with apache http service and
one with nagios process without httpd running.
so if it can works or not please tell me

I think permission is OK I have set 2777 nagios.apache on every directory
but when I "post" someting to "cmd.cgi" It hangs...

I have try on the command line

export REQUEST_METHOD="post"
export QUERY_STRING="cmd_typ=4&cmd_mod=2&com_id=21"
export REMOTE_USER="xxxx"

./cmd.cgi

but it also freeze after reply me this :

I found a way around this, but its not pretty:

Modify nagios-src/cgi/cmd.c  to write to a flat file instead of  the
command pipe:

int write_command_to_file(char *cmd){
        FILE *fp;
        struct stat statbuf;

        /* bail out if the external command file doesn't exist */
        if(stat("/path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe",&statbuf)){

                if(content_type==WML_CONTENT)
                        printf("<p>Error: Could not stat() external
command file!</p>\n");
                else{
                        printf("<P><DIV CLASS='errorMessage'>Error:
Could not stat() command file

Create a script like this:

chown nagios:nagios /path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe
/usr/bin/tail -F /path/to/var/spool/cgi.pipe > /path/to/var/spool/nagios.cmd &


Add it to your nagios start script:

        start)
        echo -en "\nStarting network monitor: nagios"
        $NagiosBin -v $NagiosCfgFile > /dev/null 2>&1;
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        su - $NagiosUser -c "touch $NagiosVarDir/nagios.log
$NagiosRetentionFile"
        rm -f $NagiosCommandFile
        touch $NagiosRunFile
        chown $NagiosUser:$NagiosGroup $NagiosRunFile
        $NagiosBin -d $NagiosCfgFile
su - nagios -c "/path/to/cmdpipe.sh" > /dev/null 2>&1 &

woops email cut off..


Add a kill -9 of the tail/script in the nagios stop case.

If you're concerned about file size, create a logrotate script for the file..

As you can see from the documentation that you're referencing, these  
are (practically) ancient nagios-1.0 configure options and were  
dropped with the move to nagios-2.0. Please use the documentation for  
the version you're installing, there are many significant changes.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/

Note that 3.0 is still under development. While many people are using  
it, bugs are not uncommon.

Database support has been completely revamped and moved to external  
modules. You're looking for the NDOutils addon. I believe that MYSQL  
is the only officially supported DB at this time --

http://www.nagios.org/download/ - bottom of the page.

There appears to be a user contributed ndomod for postgres at http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Utilities.16.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1 
[p_view]=1131&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=10%3A10

There was 2 mistakes :

1) I have made a mistake in the cmd.c code with 
"return ERROR;" 
so it return ERROR lol

2) The file must be append so i change this 
   fp=fopen("/var/spool/nagios/cgi.pipe","w");
to this: 
   fp=fopen("/var/spool/nagios/cgi.pipe","a");

and now it works really fine :D

really thank you for your help !!!

Have a nice day :)

Subject: Parenting vs Dependencies
Message-ID: <OF0CFF70FE.10A8E41C-ON862573EC.005D5460-862573EC.005E8490@academy.com>

I know that this has been discussed ad nauseam and I have read quite a bit 
of those discussions this morning and over the preceding weekend. I still 
am at a bit of a loss. I have a pretty firm understanding of parenting and 
dependencies and how they both work. I think I have a good grasp on what 
we need in our environment but I seem to be missing the point in 
explaining this to my boss. So here is an overview of what I have to 
monitor, what my boss is asking, and what I think we need and maybe 
someone can beat some sense into me.

I have a medium sized network (100-200 hosts).
Hosts are in cabinets on site (no off site monitoring yet)
Cabinets are not setup by subnet (I think this is fairly normal)
1 switch per cabinet
Multiple subnets across the farm

The boss and I agree that the switch in each cabinet needs to be part of 
our monitoring setup and be part of some sort of parenting/dependency. 
This is where we cease seeing eye to eye. For the purpose of making this 
easy lets say we are dealing with three subnets and ten cabinets only. 
Here is what the boss wants (at least as far as I can understand): Setup 
three hosts per cabinet to represent the three subnets, that actual IP 
would be the IP of the switch. Parent the hosts in the cabinet to these 
and parent these to the gateways for the subnet. This is, with the 
parameters above, thirty extra hosts, and IMO a management nightmare.

Since the switch is not part of the route my thought is that we parent in 
the normal manner as I understand it, host parents to router, and so on 
and at that point we would make the hosts have a dependency on the switch 
through which their connection passes. The current setup doesn't take into 
account the switches at all but rather is setup to where each host is 
parented to it's gateway IP and that has been working rather well but if a 
switch dies we need to be able to see that via nagios and not have 20 or 
servers and their services going off all at once.. I cannot see why adding 
tens of special hosts for the boss's parenting solution will help anything 
in the long run.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond to this as I 
probably haven't explained very well to begin with.

I know listening to the boss is good for your long term employment,
however, who has to troubleshoot the environment should you get an
alert?  Setup what ever makes the most since for identifying root
cause and narrowing down a problem -- neither way suggested is wrong,
just start with what's easiest to get setup today.

Justin

Subject: Nagios checkresults queue grows over time
Message-ID: <93344bf0802110932w1e4b7361j88d81b7421ce66bd@mail.gmail.com>

Update on 'checkresults' queue growth, Nagios 3.0 rc1 ...
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[mode]=1&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[showUid]=9116

I can keep the system from coming down completely by eliminating host
checks.  It seems the rapid growth of checks is nagios reading stale
entries, then scheduling recheck, which then becomes stale because
nagios doesn't get it in time to process.

Without host checks, I get fewer ...
[1202750959] Warning: The check of service 'URL' on host 'FQDN0.com'
looks like it was orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling
an immediate check of the service...
... in the logs.

Has any 'checkresults' queuing issues been resolved in RC2 ... I
didn't see anything specific in the Changelog?  Anyone else
experiencing a queue that grows slowly overtime and not processing
service checks in a timely manner?

Best,

Justin

Both solutions sound overly complex to me. It seems to me that you only
need to add the 10 switches, with their own IP's, as parents. I expect
that you shouldn't really care what subnet a server is on through that
switch, you should only be thinking about physical connections. If
Switch1 goes down, what servers are connected to it and unreachable as a
result? Do you think the switch could fail in such a way that one of the
subnets would work and the others won't? It's been my experience that a
switch works or it doesn't, outside of human error. 

The parents directive is used to determine network outages (down v.s.
unreachable) and would represent the problem correctly if your switch is
down. In your situation I would end up with something like --

Host (subnet1) has parent Switch1 has parent Router1
Host (subnet2) has parent Switch1 has parent Router1

Host (subnet1) has parent Switch2 has parent Router1
Host (subnet3) has parent Switch2 has parent Router2

And so forth.

Is there some additional complexity that I'm not grasping? Using
dependencies _would_ add the tens of extra definitions that you don't
want because you'd need a host dependency for host1 -> switch1, then
another for switch1 -> router1, etc, etc.

Ack. Switch2 has parent Router2 only. ;)

Dear Folks,

Initial indications from RC2 are that event handlers are called with the
_correct_ values of the macros.

(This is a simulation: ie disable host/service checks and then submit a
passive host check result to
DOWN and UP a host)

Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008 PASSIVE HOST CHECK: wtmrt200;1;Test of event
handler/macros - bad val of LASTHOSTDOWN
Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008 HOST ALERT: wtmrt200;DOWN;HARD;1;Test of event
handler/macros - bad val of LASTHOSTDOWN
Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008 GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
wtmrt200;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler
Tue Feb 12 07:49:43 2008 EXTERNAL COMMAND:
DISABLE_HOST_SVC_CHECKS;wtmrt200
Tue Feb 12 07:49:43 2008 EXTERNAL COMMAND: DISABLE_HOST_CHECK;wtmrt200
Tue Feb 12 08:05:41 2008 EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT;wtmrt200;0;Test of event handler/macros - bad
val of LASTHOSTDOWN|
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 PASSIVE HOST CHECK: wtmrt200;0;Test of event
handler/macros - bad val of LASTHOSTDOWN
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 HOST ALERT: wtmrt200;UP;HARD;1;Test of event
handler/macros - bad val of LASTHOSTDOWN
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
wtmrt200;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler

And from the event handler log (that appends its args to a file)

Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008 : wtmrt200 DOWN HARD 1202762761 1202762821 0 0.
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 : wtmrt200 UP HARD 1202763951 1202762821 0 0.

$ perl -le 'print join " ", map { scalar localtime($_) } qw(1202763951
1202762821)'
Tue Feb 12 08:05:51 2008 Tue Feb 12 07:47:01 2008
$

First two time_t args in the call to the global event handler are
$LASTHOSTUP$ and $LASTHOSTDOWN$.

In this case these values of the arguments to the event handler
correspond to the times the host went
down and up, so on the basis of this test case, the values of the macros
are being passed correctly
to the event handler in Nagios 3.0 rc2.

Bravo Nagios !

Subject: Remote monitoring
Message-ID: <40E1C71DFD600D4EA127F2840C6C1E9B029096@www.palei.com>

I am looking for a way to remotely monitor Windows servers. The servers
are on a  remote network and using network address translation so they
are not directly accessible. I saw that Pandora uses an agent on the
remote servers to connect via ssh to the main monitoring server and I
like that idea, but I have not been able to see any documentation on how
to do it with Nagios. In our configuration we cannot alter or open ports
on the clients firewalls, but outgoing ssh traffic should not be an
issue and I guess the monitoring server should not contact the remote
servers.

 

Is there a way to have an agent on a remote Windows servers similarly
using ssh to tunnel the traffic?

 

Regards,

 

Paul

Hi Paul,

I think it should be quite easy to use putty's plink to connect and tunnel  
nsclient++ using remote tunneling (-R option).

For example assuming NSClient is running on port 12489 you could run

plink -R 20001:127.0.0.1:12489 guestuser at nagiosserver

And then as long as the SSH connection stays open your nagiosserver will  
be able to access NSClient++ by connecting to 127.0.0.1 port 20001. You'd  
need to modify check_nt command a bit to always use 127.0.0.1 as an IP. If  
it's Nagios 3 you can also use custom variable (like _NSCLIENTPORT) in  
host definitions and reuse that in your version of check_nt command (using  
$_HOSTNSCLIENTPORT$).

The solution might not be robust enough if your network is not stable - in  
that case you might need a wrapper that will restart plink if a connection  
is down... I'm not sure if any working solutions for this exist. I'm  
curious myself as I wrote a small wrapper that checks for connection  
timeouts - and I'm wondering if there's any better solution on Windows.

Hello,

Humm, this was quite interesting, is there a way to (from the plink) to
detect the status of the connection or does plink "die" when the
connection dies even?
Would be quite simple to add a "plugin" to run this from within
nsclient++, but for it to be useful you would need to be able to detect
the status of the link (and I have never used the command myself).

Subject: how to specify a source port?
Message-ID: <47B1613B.30104@hermess.it>

Hi all,


I'm in trouble with checking a remote service. I have to check if the
service is alive and i do this by using the check_tcp plugin.
Unfortunately, the remote service is not managed by me and it requires a
specific source port, and you know that check_tcp doesn't support this
feature.

So, somebody had my problem? How to resolve? I've already wrote to
devel-list, but i didn't get any answer.
Before to begin scripting, i'd like to know if there is a ready-to-use
solution.

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

If your Nagios server is running BSD or Linux then you can use the 
built-in firewall to transparently change the port.  Kind of like NAT, 
but just for the port (some vendors (Juniper) call this PAT).  I suppose 
that Solaris and Windows might have this ability too, but I'm not that 
familiar with their equivalent of iptables / ipfw.

Yes, it runs under Linux and i know how to nat/pat packets, but i'm
fairly paranoid and i would like to keep it simple.
But in the end, you're right, this is more easy to apply than begin to
script in perl using hping or something like that.

I can use a masquerade rule in the iptables postrouting chains. So, i
will do that way, until developers will integrate source port option.

Thanks for the reply and the suggestion :)

Message-ID: <OFE058D14A.FF0D8C86-ON862573ED.00556183-862573ED.0055D9EB@academy.com>

Thank you all for the comments on the parenting issue I posted yesterday. 
We have come up with a much easier solution than had been proposed.

I am now having an issue with check_snmp. I have used check_snmp to 
monitor this exact service in the past on other Nagios hosts and am using 
other snmp checks as well from the current host. Here is the problem:

nagios at ulapnag01:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> ./check_snmp -H peapgse01 -o 
GSA-MIB::crawlRunning.0 -C public -m GSA-MIB -P 2c -d "="
SNMP problem - No data received from host
CMD: /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m GSA-MIB -v 2c -c public peapgse01:161 
GSA-MIB::crawlRunning.0

But if I run the command it shows, exactly:

nagios at ulapnag01:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m 
GSA-MIB -v 2c -c public peapgse01:161  GSA-MIB::crawlRunning.0
GSA-MIB::crawlRunning.0 = INTEGER: Running(1)

Both are being run as the nagios user, the second is a cut and paste of 
the command shown by check_snmp and reported to have no output. I don't 
think I have mucked up the syntax as the command produced for snmpget 
works just fine. I am probably missing something really easy here and if 
someone could point it out I would really appreciate it.

Please explain further. There's no way to enable/disable it. It just
works as long as your nagios.log and archives are readable by your web
server (they should be by default).

Not a direct answer but to troubleshoot I'd run check_snmp in verbose
mode (-v). That will cause it to print the output it receives from
snmpget. You'll at least know then if the problem is with the call to
snmpget or the parsing of its output. I'd also run 'strace -Ffs512
./check_snmp ...' and look for the sendto and recvfrom lines which would
be the communication with the remote snmp agent just to verify that
there is data flowing both ways. I'd also drop the -d "=" since that's
the default anyway. I'd try using the numeric OID instead of
GSA-MIB::crawlRunning.0 to eliminate MIB loading/parsing issues. And
finally, I'd use IP or FQDN for the hostname to eliminate resolution
issues.

host -> gateway -> router

Which is actually not much of a change from how we are already doing it.

Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. It was an MIB issue. 
Using the numeric OID gets the result I need. Thank you for the advice. 
Taking it step by step solved my issue:
nagios at ulapnag01:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> ./check_snmp -v -H peapgse01 
-o .1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.1.1.1.0 -C public -m GSA-MIB -P 2c
/usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m GSA-MIB -v 2c -c public peapgse01:161 
1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.1.1.1.0
iso.3.6.1.4.1.11129.1.1.1.0 = INTEGER: 1

SNMP OK - 1 | iso.3.6.1.4.1.11129.1.1.1.0=1

Would be nice to use the MIB but totally unnecessary and I don't feel like 
bothering to troubleshoot it.

Hi all.

  Im trying to get check_by_ssh to work but i keep failing. Its  
between two linux, Debian (nagiosserver) and redhat (cilent). Im  
trying something simple at first, just check the disk.

I have setup the keys so i can login without password (with user  
nagios). When i do a test with from terminal it goes well:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H ekonomi.fb.se -C '/usr/local/ 
nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 75% -c 90% -p /var'

When i try the same thing in nagios i get:

Hi,

Well, I once wrote a script that basically runs 'cat' command and uses it  
to "ping" the server - it writes some garbage every few minutes and checks  
if it gets back.

I'll play with doing it as a service on Windows and if this is trivial  
enough, I'll make it opensource.

I don't think that putting ssh client in NSClient as a plugin is a good  
way, though. I'm wondering if it can't report directly to NCSA as a long  
term solution?

I did not mean to add ssh client to nsclient++ but I could write a plugin
that runs plink when nsclient++ starts and makes sure plink is running,
but maybe NSCA is probably a better solution (which nsclient++ already has
:)

Subject: I can't get my event handler to fire!
Message-ID: <EA0DC7026196B54C809F45633E376EB00180FD83@EXCHUS007.AD.MLP.COM>

I've got a 3.0rc2 instance running, and I'm trying to implement a
service-based event handler. I've added an event_handler entry to the
service check:

 

define service{

        use                             generic-service

        host_name                       p5prod0

        service_description             PING

        check_command                   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%

        notifications_enabled           1

        contacts                        jdausilio

        event_handler                   notify-login-server

        }

 

The notify-login-server command:

 

# 'notify the login server' command definition

define command{

        command_name    notify-login-server

        command_line
/opt/apache/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/notify-login-server.sh
$HOSTALIAS$ $SERVICESTATE$

        }

 

/opt/apache/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/notify-login-server.sh is
executable by the nagios users, and all parent directories as well.

 

I enabled debug, and do not any references to event handler firing.

 

Am I misunderstanding something here? Event handlers are enabled
system-wide.

Correct. In the host{} definition that this service check is applied to,
is the 'address' specified as 'ekonomi.fb.se'? If not, you'll need to
manually ssh to the IP/hostname used as the address in the host
definition to associate the host key with _that_ name or address.

Place NRPE on your windows boxes, then (a) talk with your network team
about a low band VPN connection between sites or (b) your systems team
about a proxy for NSCA via an SSL connection; or (c) any combination
of the two.

Either way, wrap your traffic in something secure and be sure to
monitor the gateway between your two sites so you'll know when passive
checks might stop.

Best,

Justin

But not in the service{} definition unless it's referenced in the
template. In addition to the program-wide setting, it must also be
specifically enabled on a per-service basis.

Hi, I don't know of any way to get the plugin to see/use the
/etc/my.cnf.  You could always just give your nagios mysql user very
limited rights - connection allowed only from your nagios host, status
query rights etc, etc, then use /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg to
"hide" the password  in $USER3$ or $USER4$ (or whatever you wanna call
it!).... Ie:

 

# resource.cfg 

$USER4$=somemysqlpassword

 

Then you could just use:

 

check_mysql -u nagios -p $USER4$ -H mysql.domain.com

 

in your service checks/commands.cfg, and at least the pass will not show
in nagios web/config view... 

 

Regards,

Jamie

Sorry for the HTML last time.

> 4. ?However, I can't seem to get check_mysql to use the proper
> configuration files.

Some more info:

I managed to run check_mysql from a shell script that actually runs the
plugin under "strace", which records every system call.  From the command
line, check_mysql (via the MySQL library routines) looks for /etc/my.cnf,
/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf, and /home/jgoltz/.my.cnf, as it should.

However, the plugin as run by Nagios looks for /etc/my.cnf,
/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf, and "~/.my.cnf" -- in other words, it treats "~" as a literal file name instead of expanding it to the home directory of user "nagios".

I'm not sure what to make of that yet, but it seemed worth mentioning.

Hi.

Many thx for the tip Marc - that did the trick! I had ekonomi.fb.se as  
the address in hosts.cfg i did also connect with only ekonomi and then  
it worked. Guess i missed something in my services or checkcommand- 
files but thats an easy fix now.


thx again!

Problem resolved.  Apparently Nagios does not define the environment variable HOME for its plugins, so "~" does not get expanded to the home directory for user "nagios".

I changed the command definition for check_mysql:

was: 	$USER1$/check_mysql -H $HOSTADDRESS$
now: 	env HOME=/var/log/nagios $USER1$/check_mysql -H $HOSTADDRESS$

The plugin is able to connect successfully now.

Subject: Weird PerfParse errors ("fixed" with kill -9
	NagiosPIDs)
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40802121539k4198fa09ubabba06f53190fa6@mail.gmail.com>

I am getting tons of errors in Nagios (CentOS 4, Nagios 2.10) while
integrating PerfParse

e.g.

Error: Command 'process-host-perfdata' has already been defined
Error: Could not register command (config file
'/etc/nagios/perfparse/etc/nagios_perfparse.cfg', starting on line 19)

The only
way that I can seem to fix the errors from "nagios -v" is to kill -9
all Nagios processes I find with "ps -ef | grep nagios"

Then I start it up, and it's "ok" (warnings, but still starts ok).

Any suggestions as to why this is the case?

Subject: Perfdata from distributed nodes?
Message-ID: <7F477BD26F545A4C8E4779754A38EFB303B74F53@PEPWMV00043.corp.pep.pvt>


I'm moving our current Nagios 2.10 configuration to a Nagios 3.0rc2
distributed configuration.  One component that isn't working for me is
nagiosgraph.  After some investigation, it appears that the problem is
that while I'm sending the host/service check results to the central
server, none of the perfdata is making it there.  Some of our checks are
processed for nagiosgraph via their host/service output and some by
their performance data.  This is all working on our 2.10 configuration
because none of the perfdata has to travel anywhere (i.e. it's all on
one server).

So I thought I'd be clever and modify the send-service-perfdata and
send-host-perfdata to include $SERVICEPERFDATA$.  That is:

define command {
        command_name    send_service_check
        command_line    $USER5$/send_service_check.pl $HOSTNAME$
'$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATEID$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' '$SERVICEPERFDATA'
}

which kinda looked like it worked.  However, on closer inspection, it
appears that something went wrong on the way to the central server.  I
haven't perused the source, but either nsca or send_nsca seems to have
changed the semi-colons to colons so by the time it got to the Nagios
via the external command file, Nagios doesn't see it as perfdata
anymore.

Clearly I'm missing something.  How can I transfer perfdata information
from my distributed nodes to my central server where my graphs are going
to be created?

Thanks

Mark

This error is pretty clear. You have two command{} definitions with  
the name of 'process-host-perfdata'. You can't have duplicates.  
Probably one is from the sample config files if you installed those.  
Comment out the sample command definition of that name and restart  
nagios.

As for the tons of others, ...

I'm unable to test this but the correct format for nagios to recognize  
performance data is 'output | perfdata'. Does using the following  
command_line work as expected --

command_line    $USER5$/send_service_check.pl $HOSTNAME$
'$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATEID$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | $SERVICEPERFDATA$'


Note that you were also missing the final $ in $SERVICEPERFDATA above.  
It might have been an e-mail typo only though.

Hi list

...[Hi All, I have the latest versions of Nagios, the plugins, net-snmp, net-snmp-utils all installed on a fedora 5 box. I've setup the monitoring of my windows and linux machines and all is well with those. I have or am trying to setup monitoing of my cisco switches and while I am getting gree lights on the snmp and ping tests, none of the bandwith (mrtg) checks are working. Error msg is "check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file "

Any help would be greatly appreciated]...

Hi 				

...[Mark, ensure you have net-snmp and net-snmp-utils grab them using yum or aptitude. Once you have them, you will need to recompile or re-install nagios-plugins and your issues should go away.

Hope this helps, it is also in the nagios documentation online]...

I think Marc gave a good hint on getting the performance data there
already, but I just wanted to give a note on the transfer also - in case
you are using NSCA to ship the data along.

While Nagios itself now supports (per default) 4kb message data, NSCA
only supports ~512 bytes in the message (including performance data), so
if you have "chatty" plugins you might also experience some performance
data loss in the transfer.

To my knowledge there is no easy way of raising this limit,
unfortunately (if others know of a way, feel free to share).

Best regards,
Steffen Poulsen

Write a wrapper script, which calls both processperfdata from PNP _and_ 
PerfParse with
the parameters from nagios. Then use that processperfdata script from 
within nagios.

Damn, at the end i can't use masquerading because i can't masquerade all
the traffic for that host (very tricky network...).

I had to wrote a perl script, that i'm going to attach. It's not the
best script ever, but i had to be fast :)
It uses hping3 and run perfectly under linux.
Feel free to use it.

In the file, host target is Google :)

I hope this will helps someone.

Marc,

Actually, yes that was an e-mail typo.  I had shut all this down by the
time I sent the e-mail that I was just reproducing it in e-mail.  I
turned everything back on now so I could demonstrate it.

My "send_*_check.pl" scripts really just take the fields and stuff them
in a file for another program I wrote to process.  Per the previous
thread I'd posted, letting the process-*-perfdata Nagios command/script
do the actual send_nsca work was sending my latencies sky-high.  I had
understood that the idea here was to make Nagios think the work had been
completed as quickly as possible to keep latencies low.  I'd seen the 2
other solutions both of which involved a FIFO, but I wasn't as
comfortable with that in case there was a problem.  My solution, have my
checks write to files that are then picked up and sent every 10 seconds
by a 2nd independent daemon process has resulted in very low latencies
and has worked very well.

My send_*_check.pl scripts write each of these fields to a file
separated by tabs.  The daemon program then grabs those lines and pumps
them through send_nsca to the server.  Send_nsca also wants to use tabs
as the default field separator so I don't have to do anything with the
lines and it works nicely.

But your point is well-taken.  While I don't need to stick the pipe
symbol there, I do need it for Nagios to ultimately understand that
that's perfdata.  I put the pipe symbol as you suggested in my
send_*_check.pl scripts (essentially using the pipe to combine service
output and service perfdata when writing fields to my files).

That seemed to do the trick.  I knew I was missing something :-)

Thanks.

Mark

Good Morning (relative) everyone.

I have a question about the time stamp on the nagios log file.

 nagios.log:[1202902952] SERVICE NOTIFICATION

Can some on explain to me how to convert the time stamp to a real time?

thanks, 

Luis

Steffen,

Thanks for your reply.  As I indicated a moment ago in my response to
Marc, I needed to include that pipe symbol in my process.

It's good to know about that NSCA limit.  I wonder if that's going to be
fixed soon.  I haven't started using long output from service checks,
but it's definitely something that's on my agenda.  If NSCA can't handle
that, that kind of kills my ability to use long output.

Thanks

Mark

When asking about plugins that don't come with the distribution it's helpful to include where you obtained the plugin so everyone knows which check_rrd (or check_rrdtraf as the case may be) you're talking about.

You meant $HOSTADDRESS$ here, right?

When you run the above command as the nagios user from the command line, does the first line of output match what you're seeing in the GUI? I expect it starts with the word 'Using'. What is the -vv flag causing to happen when the program is run (hint, run check_rrdtraf --help to find out)?

Message-ID: <OFC17C802C.11BC0CB9-ON862573EE.005BD4B8-862573EE.005C2051@academy.com>

Background: Due to management requirements we are using NagiosQL as a 
configuration manager for our Nagios install. NagiosQL defaults to active 
checks enabled for hosts so this is how it's been done until now. We have 
the alerts coming as we want them. We are adding more hosts and services 
weekly. I know that active host checks are not a good thing to have going 
forward as they are unnecessary. Please advise on the best way to explain 
this to the boss who is, at this moment, convinced that if we turn off the 
option in the config file then the host will never be checked even if a 
service is down. I can't find a good place in the documentation to point 
this out and would like to get these turned off in the near future so we 
don't run into issues later on down the road. Any help in pointing me in 
the right direction would be appreciated. Here is a sample host cfg from 
our environment:

define  host {
        host_name                       plapwnd01
        alias                           plapwnd01
        address                         10.1.254.253
        parents                         10.1.254-Parent
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              3

Subject: Alerts based on performance data
Message-ID: <C2CDA28CB6E1484BB10006BF326D4D0832E210@srv-cob-00-0056.elaxy.org>

Hi All!

We are currently running Nagios 2.5 and are planning the move to 3.0
within the next couple of weeks. 

We have a monitor that checks whether specific web sites are reachable
and the page contains specific text. The Nagios machine does not have
internet access, so we are running check_http remotely. There is a Perl
wrapper which immediately prior to running check_http determines the
current time in using Time::HiRes, runs http_check, checks the time
again and calculates the differnce, which should be a good estimate of
the response time of the web site and (in my opinion) avoids any
addition time for NRPE to connect, etc. 

The success or failure is returned to Nagios along with the response
time as performance data. What we want to do now is generate an alert
based on the perfdata (that is the web page response time). I don't want
to simply use the fact the the check itself takes too long because
sometimes the slowdown is because of a lot of network traffic that
effects the connection between Nagios and the machine that does the
check, but not between that machine and the Internet. So, we would like
to react if just the response time to the web server is too long.

The simplest way I can see doing that is to define a
service_perfdata_command that compares the service-perfdata to a table
and if it is above the predefined value in sends and NSCA message to the
service (e.g. "response time too long" or whatever). However, I don't
want to reinvent the wheel if someone has done this kind of thing
before. 

Any info is appreaciated.

Regards,

Jim Mohr

from

Assuming you're using 2.x. The main issue with host checks in 2.x and
prior is that they are performed serially, not in parallel. While a host
check is being run, nagios stops absolutely everything else, other
host/service checks, notifications, etc until that single host check is
complete. To put this in perspective, assume that you have 100 hosts
checked with 10 pings over a 15 minute check_interval with a
max_check_attempts of 3. When every host is up, each host check will
take approximately 10 seconds to complete, during which nagios isn't
doing anything else except obsessing over that host --

100 hosts X 10 seconds = 1000 seconds 

As you can see, you've already exceeded your normal check interval of
900 seconds. Nagios cannot complete the host checks in the time interval
you've specified and you haven't even done any service checks yet. Now,
nagios will attempt to interleave service checks between host checks to
compensate but you've just introduced latency for both check types.

Now imagine that you have a simple outage. 5 hosts are down that aren't
related via parenting. Your timing now looks like --

(95 hosts X 10 seconds) + (5 hosts X 30 seconds) = 1100 seconds,
dedicated to host checks only.

Because the host checks aren't related, nagios is able to interleave
some service checks between so the latency isn't as bad as it could be.
Take the calculation above and determine the effects of a large outage.
Factor in parenting, where nagios will only being checking hosts up the
tree without interleaving service checks and you start seeing big
problems at the time that your monitoring systems is most critical and
useful. You could easily end up in a situation where hosts and services
aren't being checked for loooooooong intervals.


Nagios is smart. You don't need to schedule regular host checks because
nagios knows that if there is a problem with a service, it may be caused
by an outage of the host or a parent of the host. Nagios will
automagically run the host check_command anytime there is a non-OK
result from a service check, assuming only that active_checks_enabled is
on for the host and there is a valid check_command specified. It will
also follow the parents tree if the host check returns non-OK results
until nagios finds an OK parent or reaches the top of the tree. Even so,
you want to have your host checks finish as quickly as possible; 1 ping
max_check_attempts 3 times is usually sufficient to determine status.

Nagios-3 introduces parallel host check execution and there are some
benefits to running host checks there specifically for caching results
for possible use by the on-demand checks or if you're interested in
using host performance data for trending for example, but they aren't
necessary.

Some documentation to help --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host

"check_interval: 	NOTE: Do NOT enable regularly scheduled checks
of a host unless you absolutely need to! Host checks are already
performed on-demand when necessary, so there are few times when
regularly scheduled checks would be needed. Regularly scheduled host
checks can negatively impact performance - see the performance tuning
tips for more information. This directive is used to define the number
of "time units" between regularly scheduled checks of the host. Unless
you've changed the interval_length directive from the default value of
60, this number will mean minutes. More information on this value can be
found in the check scheduling documentation."


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

"The main purpose of Nagios is to monitor services that run on or are
provided by physical hosts or devices on your network. It should be
obvious that if a host or device on your network goes down, all services
that it offers will also go down with it. Similarly, if a host becomes
unreachable, Nagios will not be able to monitor the services associated
with that host.

Nagios recognizes this fact and attempts to check for such a scenario
when there are problems with a service. Whenever a service check results
in a non-OK status level, Nagios will attempt to check and see if the
host that the service is running on is "alive". Typically this is done
by pinging the host and seeing if any response is received. If the host
check commmand returns a non-OK state, Nagios assumes that there is a
problem with the host. In this situation Nagios will "silence" all
potential alerts for services running on the host and just notify the
appropriate contacts that the host is down or unreachable. If the host
check command returns an OK state, Nagios will recognize that the host
is alive and will send out an alert for the service that is
misbehaving."

Why aren't these workable? 

check_http --help

-w, --warning=DOUBLE
    Response time to result in warning status (seconds)
 -c, --critical=DOUBLE
    Response time to result in critical status (seconds)

Or, you already have a wrapper that's intercepting the check_http
results, doing something with them and sending them on to nagios. Why
not just include that rather simple logic in the wrapper? If the time is
too long, return CRITICAL to nagios along with appropriate output
otherwise return the results reported by check_http.

Well, the obvious questions: is MRTG set up and functioning? You  
didn't mention installing it. If it is, then what is the command  
definition you have for the bandwidth checks? Do the log files they  
point to actually exist? From the error you are getting, if MRTG is  
installed an functioning, then the most likely problem is that your  
command definitions are looking in the wrong place for the MRTG log  
files.

That would be (partly) my plugin, obtained from Nagiosexchange.org,

The -vv is an issue, although there could be a couple of others (see  
previous comments about the formating of the file string in the  
command). As that flag gives a lot of debugging output, and nagios  
only displays the first line of output, I wouldn't expect it to show  
the traffic values with this switch in there. What I would expect  
nagios to be showing is something along the lines of "Using RRD File: / 
var/www/html/cfg/$HOSTADRESS$_1.rrd" (I think that's the first line of  
debugging output I put in there), with $HOSTADDRESS$ replaced  with  
the applicable value. Try without the -vv and see what happens.

That is precisely the sort of explanation I needed. I think I have the 
convincing done but there seems to be some concern about how this will 
show up on tac.cgi and in other places. It will show as disabled if I am 
not mistaken. I think management may be concerned about this for reasons 
only management understands. Under the Hosts bar in tac.cgi it will show 
all 309 hosts as being disabled correct? Since the documentation 
recommends disabling active host checks for obvious reasons why is this 
shown on tac.cgi under Hosts and again under Active Checks (in red 
nonetheless). I almost wish I understood management at this point...

It won't if you leave 'active_checks_enabled 1' but do not specify the
check_interval directive (at all). If one service on the host is OK, the
host will be assumed to be and displayed as OK too. There is a
difference between disabling host checks and not scheduling them. With
'active_checks_enabled 0', even the on-demand check won't happen so they
would show as disabled. Note that this entire logic revolves around the
fact that you must have at least one service defined for every host.

I'm sure they don't want it to appear that they're not monitoring those
hosts or there is some otherwise unhandled problem that the big red X
implies when they show off the spiffy monitoring system to people
not-in-the-know.

The wrapper grew historically, so it is difficult to replace it. Plus we
have some querystrings we need to pass with character that make NRPE
puke. So all we pass to the remote machine is the service name and it
parses a config file for the URL, stearch string, etc. and then calls
check_http, a special version of check_http for SSL3, or even wget
because need to download and check a file via FTP.  

What I could do is pass an extra parameter or two to the remote command
(-w/-c) indicating the max time for the web access and then return the
values to NRPE as appropriate. That way there is no external logic and
all of the parameters are defined with the service. That seems to do the
trick.

Jim Mohr

Subject: add ndo daemon to nagios init script
Message-ID: <f79cb1aaf127.f127f79cb1aa@kent.edu>

Hello list, 
  I am by no means a programmer so am coming here for some assistance. I
am running Nagios 2.10 on an  Ubuntu 7.04 box. I started to use the
NagVis software for some mapping. What I dislike is that every time I
have to stop and start nagios (which is rare) I have to kill and restart
the ndo daemon. What I would like to do is put this piece into the init
script for nagios. Somewhere within the 

start)
....
....
;; 
section of the code. 
What I am going to test out is using 
if ndo2db is running then kill it's pid and rm -f the sock file it created
else exit 0 
fi
$Ndodaemonpath/ndo2db -c /$Ndocfgfile/ndo2db.cfg


I do not know bash well enough to accomplish this if clause on my own
(killing the process is the holdup for me)

Could someone assist me with this? 

Thanks, 
Stephen

Hi,

I'd like see only critical services that are NOT ACKNOWLEDGED and NOT IN

Right now I'm using URL

but only shows all critical services :-)

thanks

Hi,

I can tell you how I have integrated my own open source log monitoring
tool, LMF, with Nagios.

http://lmf.sf.net/

Pretty easy:
1)  I think swatch has 'triggers' that can be called whe events
happen, yes?  If so, install send_nsca on the monitored host, and
create a wrapper script that sends an event to Nagios with send_nsca
2)  Create a passive check for the service on your Nagios instance,
don't forget to set a freshness command that resets the check back to
'ok' after an amount of time with no events.
3)  I also use PNP to then graph events for trending.

Attached is a screenshot of my LMF graphs over time for SSH attack
attempts against one host as detected by LMF .. top of the graph
intentionally cut off to hide the host name :).

Regards,
Max

Depends on how you installed. If by source, per the UPGRADING document
--

"For Nagios 2.x Users:
---------------------
If you're upgrading from an earlier version of Nagios 2.x, upgrading is
pretty simple.  Nothing has changed with the configuration files, so you
can simply recompile and install the new binaries and web interface and 
you'll be good to go."

For step by step --

Get the sources and untar
cd to source dir
./configure --with whatever options you used previously
make
/etc/init.d/nagios stop
make install
/etc/init.d/nagios start
PROFIT!?

Subject: using fping to find missing A records
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40802131805u52a35edcqe5a0c0d35090c150@mail.gmail.com>

I have a specific question on how to do something, and a larger question
addressing other "better" ways to do the spirit of what I'm asking.

I'm setting up Nagios, and am trying to make sure that all of the subnets
have A records, as IP addresses will be changing very, very rapidly, and
when that day comes, I will not be here (but on another Nagios project).

So, I'd like to create A records for each host.  How do I "fping -a" a range
of IP addresses, strip out the names of the name that the host replies with,
and then ping that list of names?  (You don't have to tell me how exactly, a
general idea of which command line tools will do)

I'm thinking something like: fping -g 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.255 -A | grep
whatever > file, and then shove that file in another fping statement.

All of the above host has db check.  I want to establish a service

...so, are you trying to make sure that for every name you have an A record, or
for every A you have a PTR (i.e. a name that corresponds to the numeric)?  It
sounds like the latter, since you're thinking of doing this by looking at
numbers...

If I understand correctly what you're shooting for, it can be done in one step:

you at yourhost% fping -ang 192.168.1.0/24

...would return

- all hosts that are alive
- by name (if one exists)
- for a generated range (192.168.1.0..192.168.1.255)

If you want to only show hosts for which there is no PTR record, just 'grep -v'
your target domain(s) from the output.

-tt

p.s.  Hopefully, none of those hosts in that range are blocking your pings :)

Have you looked into using check_cluster ?

I know Nagios-plugins got an enterprise OID so I guess there was
projects for it, but this package haven't been toughed for years.

Subject: Nagios 2.x configs compatible with 3.x?
Message-ID: <OF8897BF13.B1C71FA1-ONC12573EF.003687A2-C12573EF.0038E208@gfkl.com>

Hi,

I'm wondering:

is it possible to use 2.x configs for hosts, services and the like with 
3.x without problems?

The scenario is the following:

I've monarch running now with some spooky config, so it doesn't overwrite 
nagios.cfg and
cgi.cfg. Those are fully 3.x configured and contain the needed parameters. 
Yet I'd like
to keep monarch for configuring the hosts, services, timeperiods, 
escalations and such.
Of course I've tried it already and it "seems" to work. I still wonder 
though, if I have to
expect any problems sooner or later? I know that I won't be able to use 
the new
3.x features, like integrated extinfos, inherited contactgroups, multiple 
templates and
the like - but I can live with it for now. I haven't tried if escalations 
configured with
monarch will work, but I'd expect so.
The problem is that $CTO says: I want a webconfig for nagios, no excuses!
And I don't want to keep using 2.x anymore, since the performance of 3.x 
and
especially the polished parent-checking are extremely valueable to us.

So, does anyone have any objections against using 2.x configs with 3.x?

Do I have to expect any problems Ethan?

Thanks for any input,

S

Hi Murali,

 

Nagios is built on linux so you need to put on some distro that you like
and then there are add-ins for windows machines.

Subject: Announce: Monocole Oracle Monitoring Package
Message-ID: <A5A0E768-DD94-4D55-955A-60FD77B0EBF0@bluegecko.net>

Hello,

Blue Gecko Inc, is proud to announce the first release of Monocle, our
open source (GPLv2) Oracle 10g database monitoring package!  Monocle
mostly consists of a body of PL/SQL code that runs inside the database
as scheduled Oracle jobs.  When events occur inside the database that
are significant enough to alert on, the PL/SQL monitoring code notes
the problems in a monitoring events table.  The check_monocle script,
which is used as a connector between Monocole and Nagios, reads the
data from the events table and reports the information to Nagios using
the command pipe.

Requirements:

     * Oracle 10g or greater
     * Nagios 2.x
     * Oracle Instant Client (sqlplus)

Features:

     * Alert Log Monitor - Scans the alert Log and reports on exceptions
     * Backup Monitor - Monitors the health of Oracle RMAN backups
     * Job Monitor - Monitors Oracle DBA and Scheduler Jobs
     * Lock Monitor - Monitors and records info about blocking locks
     * Resource Monitor - Monitors resource consumption (cursors/ 
processes)
     * Space Monitor - Monitors tablespace/archive space consumption
     * Standby Monitor - Monitors physical/logical standby databases

To find out more about Monocle, visit our open source development  
site at:

     http://code.bluegecko.net

Direct download link:

About Blue Gecko:

What Blue Gecko does is simple: We provide database administration
support services for Oracle and MySQL.  The Blue Gecko team
proactively monitors, administers, and tunes Oracle and MySQL Server
database environments, either on our own Database Hosting Services
platform, or at our Client's site with Remote DBA Services.

Sounds like you didn't read the docs...

Nagios runs on Linux. You can monitor either *nix or Windows hosts from 
the Nagios Linux Server though, either directly for network accessible 
services or with monitoring agents to run remote checks on the other 
hosts themselves.

Read All Of This, It's good:

You can now also drop "-m GSA-MIB" from the command line.

I suspect this problem crops up due to the environment being NULL and
nothing when the plugin runs snmpget. Do you have some snmp-specific
settings in your environment?

Nagios monitoring is based on plugins for what you want to monitor. 
There are plugins for many things, including several options for 
monitoring Windows machines/services. Search the list archives and/or  
Google in general will tell you this and much more.

Nagios itself can not be installed on a Windows machine.

Anyone have a snmp v3 config for a 3600 they'd be willing to share?

I'm needing to monitor a multilink connection...have never configured
v3 on any IOS platform.

Here is a simple authNoPriv setup.  The snmp-server user will not show up on
the config but is stored in a private config in flash.  'show snmp user' can
be used to get info.

snmp-server group <group name> v3 auth access <acl list>
snmp-server user <user> <group> v3 auth md5 <password>

You will probably want to do more to lock down access as RW is available
with those commands.

Careful with this as it has crashed a few 12.3 routers I've used (3 out of
700).

Subject: distributed monitoring - slave server not that
	intelligent
Message-ID: <a05a54400802140823v5517b52dsa4c402b7d54b63c0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I currently have Nagios 2.10 installed on a couple of machines, one of
which is configured as a master and the other as a slave.

I have a script running on the slave which rsync's up the configs from
the master and performs health checks of the master to see that it is
running (and if it is not then it enables service checks/notifications
on the slave until such time as it detects that the master is back up
and running). I also use nsca to pass passive checks to the slave to
ensure that it has up to date information about services. The slave
does not perform any active service checks, nor are notifications
enabled unless the master is down.

I do however still have one problem and that is that the slave has no
way of knowing when we're ack'ed a critical, scheduled downtime,
disabled/enabled notfications/event handlers/checks for a service/host
on the master. What this means is that if we schedule downtime on a
host, then the master goes down, the slave starts bitching about the
host that is down (because it does not know that it's in downtime). A
similar problem occurs if we disable an event handler on the master,
because unless the slave also knows to disable the event handler it
will fire it (regardless of whether or not it is active) as soon as
the passive check result returns a critical.

At present I am getting round this by tailing the nagios log file
through a perl script that looks for specific 'EXTERNAL COMMAND'
entries and then flushes those through to the slave by ssh'ing to the
slave and writing the command string to the nagios pipe file on the
slave.

Is there a better way of doing this ?

bright blessings,
Mark

Subject: Notification Woes
Message-ID: <011f01c86f47$2f15d420$8d417c60$@com>

Service X actively checked every 60 minutes.
Service X passively monitored through SNMP Traps.

Service X receives CRITICAL passively.  E-mail to contact A.  Modify Service
X to actively poll every 5 minutes till recovery.  Email B after 3rd
CRITICAL (10-15 minute delay).

I can't use retry_interval because I want contact A to be notified all the
time and retry_interval is only used on SOFT states.

I was thinking of executing a change in polling interval with an event
handler.

Any insight?

I'm also curious on how flap alerts are handled under serviceescalation.  I
am assuming they are not.

I've done this with no luck... chasing a firewall issue as I'm only
getting timeouts.

Anything not obvious about how the firewall should be configured (out
of my control in this environment)? This is an ISP router  and the
firewall has UDP 161 opened up going out from Nagios server to the
router only.

Does the Nagios server have 161 into the firewall allowed?

Another question with scenarios:

Passive checks set as HARD states
Service set to retry 3 times
Passive CRITICAL received.
Active check returns CRITICAL.

What state does this active check cause?  I assume it stays in a HARD state?

hi all,
thanks for the help. I have been trying several things that you told me.
I'll give more information. I am monitoring bandwith with MRTG and storing
datas in rrdtool format.
If i run command from command line is

./check_rrdtraf -f ./var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd  -l B  -c
3000000,3000000 -w 5000000,5000000

./var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd does not exist.

I am graphing with routers2.cgi and it receives values, and if i do :

 rrdtool fetch /var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd AVERAGE
.
.
.

1203025200: 1.3963531752e+05 8.2446477796e+04
1203025500: 1.3719540269e+05 1.0068914358e+05
1203025800: 1.3673972419e+05 1.0818787703e+05

1203026400: 1.3708077389e+05 1.1129381874e+05
1203026700: 1.3590177194e+05 1.1081213980e+05

1203027900: nan nan
1203028200: nan nan

i see it is storing values...
what is wrong? I had read check_rrdtraf help and i have included -l B option
to indicate that data are bits...but it is still not working
I obtain now:
OK - Current BW in: bps Out: bps

any more ideas?
Thank you again for your patience!!!

Pili

And 

> /var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd

are not the same. They start from, and end up at, completely differently places. That's a fundamental unix concept you need to understand.

In the first, '.' starts the path in your current directory. If you are in '/usr/local/nagios', the full path would then be '/usr/local/nagios/var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd'

In the second, '/' starts the path at the root directory. If you are in '/usr/local/nagios', the full path would then be '/var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd'.

You want to use the latter as the path to check_rrdtraf--

./check_rrdtraf -f /var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd  -l B  -c 3000000,3000000 -w 5000000,5000000

Hi Everyone,

I am having a problems with email notifications. They are not being sent.
Below is the command from the commands.cfg that is being executed. I changed
/usr/bin/printf to /usr/bin/mail. Is this wrong?

Thanks.

define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/mail "%b" "***** Nagios 2.6
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n" |  -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

Yes, that command is most definitely wrong, and will not work.

In particular, the "|  -s" portion is going to cause major breakage.

As Marc pointed out in his response, having the ./var instead of /var  
in the path to the .rrd file is wrong. you want /var WITHOUT the  
period. Also, note that the -l switch only affects the display of the  
output. It is not needed in normal operation, unless you really want  
to see the output as bits rather than Kb, Mb, etc. The plugin will  
auto-choose the best option based on the data if you leave this switch  
out. But the main problem is the period before that slash. Remove it,  
and it should work.

Subject: Checking Cisco devices with performance data
Message-ID: <47B4A5320200006100018819@staffmail.buffalo.k12.mn.us>

Hi all,

I've started experimenting with running check scripts against specific interfaces on our Cisco switches. I haven't yet found a check script that includes performance data. Eventually I'd like to use PNP (or something like it) to incorporate graphs into my nagios interface, and I'd like to monitor throughput on some of my switch and router interfaces. Is this possible? Any suggestions for suitable check scripts?

I know I could use Cacti or something like it for the graphing, but I'd rather have it all in one interface.

-Tim

You might get lucky using the attached NEB-module. It's not well
documented, and it's not very well tested. It will do what you're
after though. Contact me off-list if you run into problems. I've
been looking for someone to test this for quite some time now, so
I'll be happy to help.

It's written to make the two servers loadbalanced, so the slave
and the master will help each other out doing checks and then
transmit them to one another. External commands are also copied
from one to the other, so scheduled/cancelled downtime etc will
instantly show up on both servers as soon as its parsed in one.

If you don't want the host/service check syncing you'll have to
either get clever with the config or manually hack that out of
the module.

Like I said; Feel free to contact me off-list if you're having
any problems with it.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying, but a simpler solution might be
to have two services:

1 volatile service (passive, will notify on every trap received)
1 active service (will have whichever max_check_attempt and
retry_interval you want, won't be affected by passive checks)

If you need escalations on top of that you can define some.


Otherwise you're pretty much on your own. It's very difficult to
remotely understand every details of the logic you want (considering
there will be corner cases, etc). So basically understand how nagios
will react to each setting, or use something simpler as above ;)

Of course yes, PEBKAC...
i have a new issue:
if i execute the same command from command line  i obtain:
 ./check_rrdtraf -f /var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd -c 5000000,5000000
-w 3000000,3000000

so Is there another problem or it is just me?
Thanks again, and forgive me for these questions: Like i used to say, i am a
student and i am newbie in linux, LAMP servers, Nagios, MRTG, RRDTool.....
and everything you imagine..

Message-ID: <47B57464.8090703@net-com.de>

Hi list,

does anyone know a Nagios plugin for monitoring Gentoo's portage for 
updates? A quick google search did not give any results.

Thanks.

That sounds like a good idea and one that I am quite interested in since 
I run a lot of gentoo servers.

Could you please elaborate on what exactly you want this plugin to do, 
perhaps I can write it...

The plugin should check the output of "emerge -upD --newuse world" for 
updates. It's been a while since I've used Gentoo on a daily basis so 
I'm not sure if the output of the above command shows any difference 
between critical and non-critical updates.

I wrote a similar plugin for FreeBSD where I use portaudit to see if 
there are any critical packages on the system. This way I can divide 
between critical packages and normal updates and give the right state 
back to Nagios (1 = non-critical, yellow / 2 = critical, red).

When you say critical and non-critical updates do you mean the severity 
of the security package announcements? Ie. whether is a remote 
exploitable service and might be considered Critical or whether it takes 
some previous user account to elevate privilege and therefore is not as 
severe and only "Important" or "Warning" in Nagios.

I take it that you do not mean any old package that has updates or the 
thing would be permanently triggered?

I've just had a look at this and it doesn't look like it distinguishes 
between security upgrades deemed Critical/Non-Critical. So I guess it 
would be an all-or-nothing Critical/OK result.

Any other ideas on this are welcome.

I'll have a go at writing this since I think this is a neat idea and I 
have a lot of gentoo to test it on here.

Subject: NSCA problem
Message-ID: <47B58081.8070901@sangria.org.il>

Hi all,

We have a distributed Nagios network that monitors about a hundred hosts
and the relative services on our customer's networks.
Most of them have Nagios servers which send check results using NSCA.

On the master server Nagios 2.10 collects data through the NSCA daemon.
As services and hosts increas in number so do checks and it appears
NSCA daemon is having some problems.

We have seen up to several hundred daemons hang on the server and
though the documentation says it may be run with the --single option
in order to have one single daemon handle all connections it appears
it only accepts the first check result even though tcpdump shows it's
talking with the clients every time they send something.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Please post the output of /path/to/nagios -s /path/to/nagios.cfg.  
You'll probably also want to adjust the value of  
command_check_interval in nagios.cfg if you haven't changed it from  
the default of 1 minute.

You could use the output of glsa-check. That are the packages that needs to
be updated for security reasons, so you can see them as critical.

Nice project

Ok thanks.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to know if there are new 
version of a package available? There may be so many packages on a 
server, that there is always some update. Do you intend to continuously 
update the system for things which have no benefit?

eg. on a relatively light server with 174 packages, the odds of a newer 
version of some small irrelevent program having gotten an update for 
some feature you don't even know about is quite high I think.

Perhaps that kind of thing is better left for a switch option as I think 
most people really wouldn't want to be bothered about that.

Do you, for example, update all packages on your gentoo servers all the 
time? I would think that this would destabilize your server by 
constantly changing things...?

What do you think?

Everybody else, please let us know your thoughts too.

Yes I already use this for our internal package alerts and am writing 
the plugin around this.

It does not tell you about non-security related upgrades available 
though, so you would need to go back to emerge as well if you wanted 
that feature (although I'm not sure how useful it is since on my systems 
there are always packages that will need upgrading as mentioned, you'd 
be running emerge every single day and risk breaking things that 
currently work)

It's kinda interesting to know which packages are new.

You are right - a switch would be the best thing. For most people only 
the security flaws are interesting.

At the moment I don't have that much Gentoo machines out there. Most are 
running FreeBSD oder Debian, there aren't lots of updates.

I think the switch is the best solution to get everyone happy :)

In the meantime I realized the central Nagios is still a 2.7 while
NSCA is 2.7.2. At the moment upgrading this specific Nagios is not
an option.

Subject: Changing contacts for the same service
Message-ID: <20080215143223.GA34672@bewilderbeast.blackhelicopters.org>

Hi,

I'm running a medium-sized Nagios setup (250 hosts, 700 services).
Most of the hardware and software is configured identically, so
monitoring is fairly straightforward.  The one complication is mapping
Nagios alerts onto people.  I think I must be doing it the hard way,
and I can't find a solution in the archives or docs.

Summary: I want a global setting that says "Both hosts and service
alerts for system X go to this one contact group."

We have different project teams to manage different groups of servers.
Team A should only get the alerts for team A's hosts and services,
team B should only get the alerts for team B's hosts and services, and
so on.

The teams, of course, are defined as contact groups.  Each server has
an associated contact group, that's easy.

Services, however... I have defined services such as "Team A C Drive
Disk Space" listing Team A as the contact group, then "Team B C Drive
Disk Space" with team B as the contact group, and so on.  Both
services have the same check command.

This has resulted in a massive proliferation of services.

Surely there's some way to say that "Both host and service alerts for
system X go to this contact group"?

Thanks,

Yes, 

You can use the heritage for contacts and contacts groups in nagios3. If you don't enter contacts for a service, it use the contacts of the host. It's quite usefull.

This is all good. You don't have a lot of services at all. How
frequently are you sending results? On my own systems I'm easily
processing at least 13 results/sec. I know that there are others doing
more but there is some point at which nagios can't keep up.

Are there other problems with the machine? Disk or memory issues? Do you
have embedded perl or performance data processing enabled?

The problem we have seems to lay in the number of nsca daemons on
the master machine.
Also I do not understand why running nsca with the --single option
only processes the first message it receives and discards the rest.

CPU and RAM seem ok up until something goes badly wrong and nagios starts
forking and allocating more memory, then swap.
We have embedded perl and no data processing.

The number would increase if the NSCA daemons were unable to write to
the external command pipe. That could be because the results are coming
in faster than nagios is processing them. The command pipe is only going
to hold about 4K of data then block until it's cleared.

> Also I do not understand why running nsca with the --single option

Nor do I. I run with -s and haven't experienced that problem. Running
nsca-2.1 here. Have you tried putting nsca into debug mode and
monitoring that? Running strace on the process would be informative as
well.

I did have a similar problem years ago on a machine with a failing disk.
The failures seemed harmless but ended up causing regular backlogs of
NSCA processes as you indicate. Fixing the disk problem resolved the
issue. That's why I asked.

If I read the docs correctly external_command_buffer_slots=4096 hold
4096 commands in the queue before it starts blocking. That's the value
we have at the moment.

Will do over the weekend: it's something we still haven't had time to
do.

I see how this could cause problems especially since the server is
also a mail content filter, but disks are hardware RAID5 on a Dell Perc
controller monitored by Nagios and they appear fine.

Message-ID: <1203088825.1220.22.camel@kloaca>

Hi!

i need to logout from nagios and then re-authenticate with another user.
I've readed around that it's only possible closing all browser windows
or using a web dev. toolbar for some browsers but is there any other way
to do this? Closing all browser windows is not an option for me.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, here's where that -vv switch can come in handy. Try again from the  
command line with -vv, and send the output you get. That should help  
me with the debugging. As it is, the only thing I would note is to  
wonder if you really want the critical and warning values to be 3 Gbps  
and 5Gbps. It's not completely unreasonable, of course, depending on  
what you are monitoring (I think there are devices that can get multi- 
gigabit speeds), but most devices never get anywhere near that kind of  
traffic. Regardless, that shouldn't cause the first errors you are  
seeing, as the lines referenced are just seeing how big the input  
values are. Course, if you ARE getting gigabit speeds, I suppose it's  
possible i'm getting an overflow somewhere- i've never tested with  
that level traffic (as I don't have anything that generates that kind  
of traffic).

Yep, that's HTTP authentication for you. Sorry.

If you are sending a lot of stand-alone NSCA results, it is only natural
that you will start to get delays and hanging processes at some point
(before you reach ~1000/checks minute at current hardware).

But this should materialize itself also at the "sending" servers - is
latency there OK still?

Anyway, if this is the case, solution is to bundle up nsca checks and
only send a batch every 10-20 seconds. Should reduce load and latency
both at the sending and receiving server.

Best regards,
Steffen Poulsen

Thanks for the input.  I would like to avoid having separate services for
the active and passive as it is the main reason I even use Nagios (easy to
make sure active and passive alerts keep status accurate for a service).

I am working on using an event handler to change the polling interval from
60 to 5 minutes on a non OK and 5 to 60 on an OK.  I'm not sure how well
this will work with passive checks but it seems like the best solution for
me.  I'm just worried about problems occurring and inconsistencies being
created.

Hello all,

I am having some trouble getting Nagios to send out emails to the 
contacts I have specified.  I have 3 contacts that it should be going 
to, all with the same email domain and only 1 of the 3 are getting it.  
I have had the users check their spam traps and nothing, and when I look 
at /var/log/maillog it shows that all three recipients ate getting the 
messages sent.  Anyone have any ideas? Anything from extra 
troubleshooting tips to even a solution I would be grateful for.  Thanks 
ahead of time!

Nick~

If /var/log/maillog shows the message being sent to all three recipients I
would suggest try sending a test message from the server itself.

'echo test | mail user at domain.com'

It's possible you need to modify your notification command or your servers
smtp server to make sure the from address is proper and the forward/reverse
DNS of the server is proper.

It's not something I've tried myself, but you could always just write a
small command that returns status of OK all the time.  It'll obviously still
be executed, but you'll never go into a warning or critical state.

Or set your check_period to a timeperiod without any time in it.

Good to know.  I always assumed that would be an invalid state for Nagios.

If your mail log shows them going out, they're going out.

You'd need to look at (or have the administrator look at) the next hop
along the routing path, the same as any other mail non-delivery issue.

If you see the messages being accepted by the remote server in your
maillogs then it's out of your hands. They accepted responsibility for
delivery of the messages from you and only they can say what happened to
them. Your recipients should ask their mail server admin what happened
and only then might you have actionable information. We could pick one
of thousands of reasons why delivery didn't happen but that's a waste of
time.

Nagios.

The sample config files come with a 'none' timeperiod defined --

define timeperiod {
    timeperiod_name                none
    alias                          No Time Is A Good Time
    }

You can also not specify the check_command directive for the host{}
(i.e. leave the entire directive out).

Thanks for the pointer.  I just checked my distro's defaults, an indeed,
there is a "never" timeperiod_name tucked away at the bottom.  I guess since
I never needed it, it slipped my mind.

In any event, that's likely to be an easier approach than a dummy check
command.  So, thanks for the heads up.

Subject: Notification Woes
In-Reply-To: <02d301c87008$ac042060$040c6120$@com>

Message-ID: <031901c8702a$84e0c700$8ea25500$@com>

Just an FYI on what I did to get what I wanted to work:

Service created with a check_interval of 60 and retry_interval of 10 and
max_check_attempts of 1.

Event handler that is passed a value of 60 and 10.

Service escalation for first notification with a notification_interval of 10
(60 in service as it throws warnings otherwise because of the default
check_interval).

Service escalation for second notification with a notification_interval of
0.

Event handler setup to CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL to 60 on OK and 10
on non-OK.  If non-OK also SCHEDULE_SVC_CHECK in 10 minutes.

So if a passive or active check comes in and changes state from OK to
CRITICAL an alert is sent to first person, a check is scheduled in 10
minutes, and if still down on second check sends an email to second person.

I also created a flapping only contact to be added to service contact_group
so flapping is reported to second person as well.

As you see, i have changed the threshold values... Before i used the -l
option so i have forgotten to rescale them.
it is your baby, so you'll know better what happens but what i understnad is
that i gets value from 10 minutes ago and makes an average...

thank you again. I'll try to discover what i have done ina wrong way  before
you would tell me..
Best wishes

Message-ID: <ee9c961f0802160645u2ab53f16x74e812d5ab78a254@mail.gmail.com>

Folks,
I am trying to set the a black out window for a service check and nagios
deamon stop running.  I had to remove "nagios.lock" and comments.dat and
downtime.dat file and then restart nagios daemon. If I just remove the lock
file, it won't work. I am running nagios 2.9. Does anyone have similar
issue?

Thanks.

There's an option in Firefox to clear authenticated sessions. It will
close them all though.

Look in the Tools->Clear Private Data menu...

A "Black out window" is not a Nagios term and makes it unclear what you
are tring to do. Are you trying to schedule a service downtime? Have you
looked at the log? Please give more details and/or logs. You can also
try running Nagios in the foreground and see what it prints.

BTW, sending multiple times your question won't help, and some people
tent to ignore those who repeatedly do this.

Thanks,

Thomas

Subject: NRPE on monitoring host
Message-ID: <20080216155414.40D8B580018@desire.netways.de>

Hi list

I'm having some trouble getting NRPE to run.

When I run the following command, it seems to be ok.
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d

But when I try to run /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe start, i get the following errors:

nrpe: unrecognized service
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 5: flags: command not found
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 6: socket_type: command not found
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 7: wait: `=': not a pid or valid job spec
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 7: wait: `no': not a pid or valid job spec
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 8: user: command not found
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 9: server: command not found
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 10: server_args: command not found
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 11: log_on_failure: command not found
disable: Operation failed: client-error-not-found
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: line 13: only_from: command not found

The command I'm trying to run on my Nagios server is:
command[check_disk1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda1

But I get no results..

When I run this on the remote host, I get the result I want.
check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda1

NRPE version is 2.11 on both systems.

Anybody who can help me?

- Henrik

 Thanks for your input Tom.  I'll try this later, but for the meantime, I
ended up trying the following (if I remember right)

fping -d -g 192.168.1.0/24

This pinged all my hosts, got me back a host name, and then pinged those
host names to give me the records.

I will probably come back at you for another question once I get a few other
things in order...thx again.

Subject: Fping tweaks
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40802160820p601afbbauad9913cc33cd29d9@mail.gmail.com>

What fping tweaks do you guys use on Nagios?

Primarily, this question is a general one (just to see what people check
with).

A bit more specifically, however, this question is designed to approach the
answer on which fping plugin switches / parameters people use to scale
Nagios checks to gazillions of hosts and across links that often become
quite saturated.

I'm struggling with this in many environments. I'm getting too many false
positives (when it's just network related) and the host is not actually
down.  (I've just gotta limp this along until we fix our point to point
solution between several of these sites.)

So your daemon seems to work Any reasn you want to use Inetd instead?

Seems like you set up xinetd to use the nrpe configuration as an xinetd
configuration. It would be analogous to running Apache httpd with
Nagios's configuration: it just can't work.

You'll have to read more about Xinetd to set it up. Alternatively you
can run nrpe as a stand-alone daemon (as the first command above) and it
should work.

> The command I'm trying to run on my Nagios server is:
> command[check_disk1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda1

That is actually configured on the remote server in NRPE. Then on the
Nagios server you run:
/path/to/check_nrpe -H <hostaddress> -c check_disk1

> NRPE version is 2.11 on both systems.

You need NRPE running only on the remote systems, and check_nrpe on the
Nagios server. In practice though I run NRPE on the Nagios server too so
that my commands are defined the same way for both remote and local servers.

NRPE can be run in daemon mode or via (x)inetd, but not both.
In xinetd mode you would update the service config file (/etc/xinetd./ 
nrpe) and then restart or reload the xinetd daemon for the changes to  
take effect.
Pick one method and stick to it

Verify the nrpe command works by executing the complete command as it  
appears in the nrpe.cfg file on the command line as the *same* user  
the daemon runs as. This will tell you if the command is correct or not.

Beyond the other answers you've received, if you followed the
documentation this would be an xinetd _configuration_ file, not a
program that you run. NRPE can be run as a standalone daemon, as in your
first test above, or as a xinetd module. If you choose the latter, you
just need to install the nrpe conf file for xinetd (as you seem to have
done) and restart xinetd.

Hi all			

Thank you for your answers.

You say that I can install the nrpe conf file for xinetd.

As you state you belive I have already done that. Yes, I belive I have.. In /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe I have entered the following:

# default: on
# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
service nrpe
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = nagios
        server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c
        server_args     = /etc/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d --inetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
        only_from       = 192.168.0.0/24
}

If I understand all of the comments I have received correct, it seems that I run nrpe in 2 instances, which I can't. How would I do it the right way then? I'd say I would prefer to run it through xinetd..

I personally use Smokeping to monitor latency, packet loss, etc.  I then
have nagios check the RRD files for the data and alert on parameters.

Googling, I've found things like Puppet, but that requires a bit more

As Sean made me realize you were actually trying to run the xinetd
config file... In fact all you have to do it probably reload or restart
xinetc. (make sure to kill all instances of the NRPE daemon)

You've modified this timeperiod to _not_ be 24x7 but are treating it  
as if it still is. Nagios is doing what you've told it to do.

Seems like a regional number-formatting issue. Your OS LC_NUMERIC  
settings specify a number format that uses ',' in place of '.' and the  
script (or perl?) isn't internationalized to understand that. Would  
that be the case? I'm not too familiar with i18n so can't be of much  
help.

Subject: conditional inclusion of cfg files
Message-ID: <AB73F022-FB4D-4A71-BCE6-BFF47600B728@email.unc.edu>

Okay, let's say you have lots of distributed pollers, which should  
only load cfg files for their particular environment (both hosts and  
services).  However, you'd like to manage the same set of "global" cfg  
files from the central server, and rsync them all everywhere.  Is  
there any known way to make a poller just load a subset of cfg files,  
*without hardcoding it into each poller's nagios.cfg file*?

Sorry if this sounds a little crazy.  I guess what I had envisioned  
was a way to push out a set of cfg files named by each poller's  
hostname, with the expectation that a poller could intelligently  
include only its own cfg file.  Each of those files, in turn, would  
include a set of cfg_dir definitions to further include the  
directories needed for the poller to poll its specific environment.

Nagios just appears to be very limited in the ability to declare  
variables in the configuration files.  Yes, you can set macros, but  
that doesn't seem to help me with this particular situation.

Any suggestions?

Some of my nrpe checks works ok now. I'm still having some issues getting check_disk to return information. Nagios displays: NRPE: Command 'check_disk' not defined.

In my nrpe.cfg I have the following entry:
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/sda1 --> I can run ./configure check_disk... successfully on the remote system?

In my localhost.cfg I have:
define host{
	use				check-status
	host_name			donald
	alias				Donald
	address			192.168.1.21
	}

# 'linux-boxes' host group definition
define hostgroup{
	hostgroup_name	linux-servers
	alias			Linux Servers
#	contact_groups	infrastructure-production
	members		donald
}

define service{
        use                             local-service
        host_name                       donald
        service_description             cpuload
	contact_groups             	infrastructure-production
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_load
        }

define service{
        use                             local-service
        host_name                       donald
        service_description             disk - /
	contact_groups             	infrastructure-production
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_disk
        }

The nrpe cpuload check returns results.

In my commands.cfg:

# NRPE
define command{
        command_name    check_nrpe
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
        }

I can telnet the remote host as well.

"Usually" there is no such thing as "best way" in a custom scenario ;)

For linux I wrote my own plugin to parse iostat output, but it's not yet
fully finished.

For Windows you might want to look at the WMI Scripts from... uhm... it
was op5 I think. Google is your friend. You can embedd those scripts
into nsclient++ and use a custom nrpe check then.

I have solved the problem. I wasn't aware that the command also should be in the nrpe file of the remote host.

The Nagios Looking Glass is pleased to announce the availability of NLG
1.1.0 beta 1.
This is the first release in the 1.1 series that makes NLG compatible with
Nagios 3 (tested with Nagios 3.0rc2) while maintaining compatibility with
Nagios 2.x.

The major changes in this version against 1.0.6 are:

   - Added configuration option to change the location of cached files
   client-side (http://tracker.networkmail.eu/task/337)
   - Locking for cache files (http://tracker.networkmail.eu/task/336)
   - comments.dat and downtime.dat no longer available (change these to
   status.dat in server/sync-files/s3_config.inc.php) (

Andy,

I thought I'd take a look at your project, as I have some interest in having some sort of dynamic portal which customers can query and I've seen your project surface time-and-time again on this list.

I've implemented the 'hack' to limit which hosts a particular user can see, but notice that they still see the "Overall Network Health" still shows the values for all hosts & services, rather than those in the currently selected filter.

It would be much better if the granularity for this tool followed the 'Nagios way' and used the contact group for all visibility. Unfortunately this is very important for our environment.

In terms of the license, what if I want to remove all references to Nagios Looking Glass, your name etc... from the portal interface? Is that going to be an issue? I'm not talking about removing any copyright or license information from the source files itself, just the customer facing side.

Thanks

Giles

Ok, yeah, that would make sense. It is a shell script, and no, it  
isn't internationalized- partly because I didn't think of that when  
writing it, partly because I'm not entirely sure how. I suppose I  
could just do a simple string search and replace on the values to  
replace any commas with periods, but I don't really know if this would  
be the best or right way of doing it. Any of the more experienced  
programers out there have any suggestions?

We are using snmp to monitor our windows servers and I have had a request 
from the windows admins. They want to alert at 80% and 90% usage on C:\ 
but 95% and 98% on all other partitions. (I didn't ask about the logic 
because it wouldn't matter). I have tried multiple snmp plugins and all of 
them seem to act the same. I can monitor all the disks on a single check, 
a single disk on a single check but I cannot monitor all the disks except 
C: on a single check. There doesn't seem to be any plugins out there that 
allow exclusion and use snmp. Before I go writing a wrapper for an 
existing plugin does anyone know if there is a plugin that will allow me 
to do this? I am looking to exclude a single drive letter but check all 
the rest of the drives via snmp on windows servers. Thanks in advance for 
any advice.

Message-ID: <4fdd756c423d555f2468617c09d66ca0@connect.networkmail.eu>

Hi Giles,

Thanks for your comments.  The 'Network Health' page is designed to reflect
the status of the network as a whole which, I agree, can be confusing when
host-specific filters are specified.  An example scenario of the reasoning
behind this is:

You're viewing the 'network health' page and select the "down hosts only"
filter.  All the hosts in this filter will be down, thus rendering the
network "100% down", which obviously looks bad.

NLG v2 is going to be designed to work better with users, permissions and
groups and will be better suited to those who don't want a simple "network
overview" and would like to restrict what different users and groups can
see.

In terms of licensing, clause 4c states that if the work, ie. NLG, is
publicly displayed then all copyright notices must be kept intact, including
the author's name, designated company, title of the work and URL.  Therefore
if you're providing access to NLG through a publicly-available URL or
website, the copyright notice must be left intact, otherwise if it is only
available to a set number of users (e.g. through an internal URL or
intranet) I'm happy for the copyright notice to be removed.

Regards,

Andy

Is there a nagios project for implementing better authentication
methods? Maybe I missed it in Nagios docs but I'd like a better
interface for managing users - and more importantly, allowing users
change their passwords via the web interface.

That does exactly what we need. Is it listed on Nagios Exchange? Thank you 
for your response; I have managed to escape writing a wrapper thanks to 
you!

I setup configurations in subdirectories by datacenter (location of
the distributed poller) then have a local 'sed' check change the
location of the configuration relevant to that specific box.

These directories are also broken out individually ...

$NAGIOS_HOME/etc/corporate/$ASSET_GROUP/{hosts,groups,contact}.cfg
$NAGIOS_HOME/etc/datacenter/$CITY_STATE/{hosts,groups,contact}.cfg
$NAGIOS_HOME/etc/thirdparty/$VENDOR/{hosts,groups,contact}.cfg

All my pollers check a common pool ("corporate", "thirdparty") and
have local checks for their own site ("datacenter".)  $CITY_STATE
could also be the name of your host, that makes 'sed' a little easier.

Use 'cfg_dir='

You could use 'cfengine', I use 'sed', but just comment out all
datacenters on your console and uncomment the one necessary for a
particular datacenter.  If you won't want to use 'sed' or 'cfengine'
then just uncomment it by hand.

Best,

Justin

So I think what I'm going to do is rsync the same files everywhere,  
but use cfengine to manage the nagios.cfg file on each poller.

Actually, I'm looking at using Puppet instead of cfengine.  I also  
want to use this to control the nrpe.cfg on each server of course.

If you're going to do it from scratch, Puppet looks a lot cleaner and  
more modern than cfengine.

Anyone with Puppet feedback?

Subject: status.cgi very high cpu usage
Message-ID: <bbc707b90802181951w41c615c5y970990cb7678a119@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I have a problem with status.cgi taking up too much cpu so the page is very
slow to  render. Is there any way to find out where the problem is?

We have about 650 services monitored. The output os nagios -s command is
below:

PERFORMANCE SUGGESTIONS
-----------------------
I have no suggestions - things look okay.


It is running on a vmware host with 1Gb of ram and we just allocate 1 more
cpu (3Ghz) without any improvement. The custom frontend using Nagvis but
even if we do not access nagvis, accessing normal nagios services list still
causes high cpu usage and slow response in a such unusable state.

Please help. Thanks you in advance.

Of course it does, and as an example of the situation at hand,
pretty useless.

How about viewing this problem from the users point of view?
And I mean the non-techie user. Then it would be quite obvious
that Network Health should reflect the network health of the
users machines, otherwise you would have a bit of explaining
to do to a bunch of not so happy users, that would look at you
with those eyes saying "now there's a real techie, he hasn't
got a clue, let's get out of here".

When using the "down hosts only filter", one might consider not
letting this reflect on the overall Network Health at all,
actually. IMHO the Network Health should show the summary of
health for the users select machines only, at all times,
filter or not.

Other than that, NLG is a brilliant solution, badly needed
out there (here at least), and I've been looking forward to
try it out with nagios 3.x. Thanks for the effort Andy!

Just my 2c worth

Subject: service escalation question
Message-ID: <53139.172.17.0.1.1203412843.squirrel@webmail.seaan.net>

Hi

I would like to configure service escalations for a number of services.

The services normal_check_interval is 10 minutes and the
retry_check_interval 5 minutes. If state is not OK, a notification for the
NOK service is sent  only once (notification_interval 0) to a designated
contact.

If the serviceescalation's first_notification is 3, what behaviour can I
expect from Nagios? Will Nagios expect to really sent 3 notifications
before it escalates or does the first_notification parameter depend on the
service definition's retry_check_interval?

Thanks for your time

Best,
Philipp

Subject: Error: Cannot Complete SSL Handshake.
Message-ID: <47BAA167.3030406@subisu.net.np>

Dear all,

Hi...This is my first post to the list so far.

I have been facing a very weird problem related to the SSL handshake 
when trying to use NRPE.

All (nagios, nagios-plugins and NRPE) are of v2.10 both the client 
running the NRPE Daemon and the Nagios Monitoring host are with the same 
version of nagios and related plugins.

The configuration and the  installation went fine and I had not had any 
problems with it, but when I use the NRPE along with I see a UNKNOWN 
Error ( CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from host.) in my web 
interface. But if the same [./check_nrpe -H host -c plugin] is run in 
the terminal I dont receive a single error and it goes fine. Seeing at 
the nagios logs and the syslogs at the instant I see [ Error: Could not 
complete SSL handshake. 1] but when I do the same thing via the terminal 
it goes fine and not a single error is logged.

MY QUESTION: Why am I seeing the error in my web interface and when 
nagios induces it, and not when I do it myself from the console?

TIA,

Gaurav

Hi All,
  
Getting following error "(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing) "  when we configured few services on a remote system using NRPE. Have installed nagios plugins using RPM and NRPE using compile code.Post installations all
 the plugins were on "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/" . Thinking that this would be the issue , have copied all the plugins to
""/usr/local/nagios/libexec/"" .Currently all the plugins are present under "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/" & "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/"  as well.
  What could be the issue? Please gve us atleast a hint.
   
  Thanks,

I wrote a check_ram plugin which does this (in fact it includes Cache as 
Free by default as this reflects the way Linux really works, but there 
is also a switch to change this behaviour too if desired). You can find 
it here:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Linux.55.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=909

It was the first nagios plugin I ever wrote and I haven't looked at it 
in a while so if there is anything that's imperfect, let me know and 
I'll change it.

Thanks

Dear Sachin,

Though you compiled it to some other directory...did you check with the 
permissions ..and I guess version mismatch may also cause the same error.

Hi Gaurav

you don't point out what OS you are running Nagios/nrpe under.
 
Have you checked the faq on nagios.org under support. There are multiple
faqs available for this error. Does any off your errors fall into any of
them?
 
Regards
 
Tom

Dear all,

Hi...This is my first post to the list so far.

I have been facing a very weird problem related to the SSL handshake
when trying to use NRPE.

All (nagios, nagios-plugins and NRPE) are of v2.10 both the client
running the NRPE Daemon and the Nagios Monitoring host are with the same
version of nagios and related plugins.

The configuration and the  installation went fine and I had not had any
problems with it, but when I use the NRPE along with I see a UNKNOWN
Error ( CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from host.) in my web
interface. But if the same [./check_nrpe -H host -c plugin] is run in
the terminal I dont receive a single error and it goes fine. Seeing at
the nagios logs and the syslogs at the instant I see [ Error: Could not
complete SSL handshake. 1] but when I do the same thing via the terminal
it goes fine and not a single error is logged.

MY QUESTION: Why am I seeing the error in my web interface and when
nagios induces it, and not when I do it myself from the console?

TIA,

Gaurav

Hi Tom,

Sorry, I missed to point the OS....its Fedora Core 4 both the Monitoring 
Host and the clients running the daemons are on the same OS.

Yes I did check with the FAQs on the site and also visited other related 
forums, but unfortunately I did not find any such occurrences that 
matches to what I am facing for now. Most of the related posts that 
talks of the same problem says they receive the error when running the 
check_nrpe plugin from console as well. But in my case its not as such. 
I don't get the error when running it from console, neither any such 
instance is logged, its just when nagios itselfs runs the plugin I see 
the error in the web interface.

Regards,

Gaurav

Could you change it into a perl plugin? ;)

I'd like to give it a try, but I cannot install python on all our servers
now, since we don't use that at all. Pity.

If you run it ok on the command line but Nagios complains then there 
must be a discrepancy between your nagios config, ie what nagios is 
running and what you are doing on the command line, perhaps you're not 
testing as the nagios user account on the command line or there is a 
parameter problem or something when nagios runs it?

I get this error when using -H localhost but not when -H hostname so 
perhaps it's one of these kinds of issues, try logging the command being 
executed by echoing it to a file and then run that exact command on the 
command line.

You didn't mention what Operating System you were running, but if you 
are using Linux, then any remotely modern distro will have it by default 
and it will just run.

Subject: Nagios Looking Glass 1.1.0 beta 1 released
Message-ID: <43df928fdc7821e783d4b9a48f058a20@connect.networkmail.eu>

Hi Lars,

I agree with you 100%.  If I, as a user (techie or not), looking at my own
machines, I'd expect some sort of summary; I wouldn't care about anyone
else's or even the network as a whole.  As you quite rightly said Lars, the
'overall health' needs to be aimed at the users "select machines".  NLG v1,
however, has no concept of machine ownership, it simply shows the entire
Nagios estate.

This isn't a fault, that's how it was designed.  It is, however, also where
it falls down, and the need for a solution targeted to a different audience
becomes apparent, hence the v2 project.  

I designed v1 originally for my own use, to present users who have signed up
to my services as an ISP with an overview of my network and how well (or
badly) it was performing.  Users didn't have machines or services of their
own; they just wanted to be able to see if network problems were affecting
the servers they may use.

Since I released it to the Nagios community last year, a wider audience have
seen the potential for using NLG in ways it wasn't originally designed,
which is fantastic because it means I get the chance to build on the success
of the project, and hopefully design and build a solution that more and more
people will find useful :-)

The "host-filter" hack was indeed a hack as many people were requesting the
same thing, but with the current code architecture it wasn't possible to do
a permanent fix, and it was indeed a hack put in simply to tide people over
until v2 is ready.

Andy

Subject: Nagios didn't rotate logs
Message-ID: <47BAB530.3020607@easyflirt.com>

Hi,

Nagios 3.0rc1 didn't rotate the log files !

Settings :

epoc-01:~# egrep ^log_ /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Is it a bug ? Should I'll have to use debian's logrotate ?

Dear all and Hari,

Thanks for your help. I figured out the problem to be with 
resources.cfg. USER1 was defined as a location that did have the nrpe 
plugin with some older version. Changing it solved the problem.

I was just wondering and was astonished then..when it was working fine 
from the commandline and nagios was shooting errors ;)

Regards,

Gaurav

Either the command{} definition for check_nrpe on your nagios host  
specifies and invalid path to the check_nrpe binary or the command[]  
definitions on nrpe.cfg on the remote machine specifies an invalid  
path to the plugin you are trying to execute.

Subject: NagiosPluginsNT scaling to 400 sites?
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40802190558m15a261eetbb0b243e2576c1b4@mail.gmail.com>

I have about 400 sites, each of which has a Windows server with LogMeIn that
is dedicated to the IT department.

I'm wondering if one centralized Nagios server can use the NagiosPluginsNT
project (http://tinyurl.com/2y8ykr) to effectively monitor certain critical
internal services from that location.

I've used NagiosPluginsNT with one of the Nagios client agents (NSClient++
or NC_net, NSClient++ I think...) but I'm wondering if this will scale to
400 sites easily.  I'm guessing I will need (a) to seriously crank down the
active checks on the main server, and/or (b) test out these plugins on a box
that makes, say, 100 checks every minute.

Ideally, I would just drop a little Nagios sensor at each location.
However, the IT team does not want this extra work and doing this via a
client agent on a PC that's already there saves a lot of time.

Any suggestions?

Melanie,

I have setup the plugin available here: 
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_storage.html and it works perfectly for 
our needs. It uses SNMP so you would have to have SNMP setup on all of 
your Windows boxes but with that caveat it is the best solution I have 
found for monitoring windows partitions. If you are looking for something 
slightly less complicated or with fewer options there are many plugins on 
nagiosexchange.com that will do the job. I would recommend 
check_snmp_storage though due to the options and the robustness of the 
plugin.

I'm monitoring 3,100 hosts at one location and 215 at another with
very few issues.  As long as you get as much work off the server,
distributed to hosts (i.e. use NSCA or some kind of passive push)
you'll be fine as your volume grows.

If you are using virtualization, then you need a balanced model where
you are using passive only on the global zone or host operating
system, then light polling on individual zones.

The model you describe sounds like it will work.  There is a point
where you'll need to optimize your top end hardware.  My 215 sites is
a test bed in a Solaris zone on a P4 2.8Ghz single processor ...
needless to say, it doesn't run as clean as the larger installation.

Some common problems you'll face:
  -- Your 'checkresults' queue may grow in size with stale checks
because of the time it takes to cycle through all the hosts.  Passive
checks reporting to a main console will improve this and so will a
more meaty head server.
 -- Some of the "Monitoring" menus become useless.  For example, "Host
Detail" will take forever to load and "Hostgroup Grid" will kill
Internet Explorer.  It would be nice to disable these menu items.

Best,

Justin

Just go to side.html on the nagios server and edit the html to remove 
the lines referencing those pages then, it's easy to do and that way 
they won't appear in your interface for you to accidentally click on 
them and make your system hang.

If they don't appear in the sidebar, then you're unlikely to type in the 
url to hang the browser even if you knew what it was.

Many of the "Monitoring" reports don't work well at volume, I've been
asking users to only use "Unhandled" reports.  You may get better
response in Mozilla, but 'status.cgi' can kill Internet Explorer
because of how it's loading everything in one large list.

Nagios is at the point where it needs an SQL back end with a more
modular look at how it stores site data.  Perhaps, rolling status up
into summary reports that are queried to create reports then go into
host tables only when someone drills down into host information.

In production you'll want to be on a multi-core multi-threaded
machine; 2 cores won't do it if you'll have more than one user in the
system.  Until then, keep users in the "Unhandled" menus around
"{Service,Host} Problems"

Best,

Justin

Message-ID: <A61062A3CA04594180C8AAD1B06F6C2502347B8C@kogex01.pmpl.co.uk>

Hi, 

I want to access some of the macros such as $SERVICEOUTPUT$ as an
environment variable. I've installed and configured Nagios 3.0rc2 and its
all working fine. 
I have enabled enable_environment_macros=1 in nagios.cfg 

Does anyone have any idea of how I can access the macro from a shell script
for example ? Are the environment variables prefixed with anything ?  I
can't seem to find it in the docs or FAQs elsewhere. 
Any pointers would be much appreciated! 

thanks,
deborah

Excellent, commented out "Detail" and "Grid" options from 'side.html'
... definitely keeps people from bogging down the server with
'status.cgi' and still let's people drill down specific selects.
Thank you.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macros.html

Macros as Environment Variables

Most macros are made available as environment variables for easy
reference by scripts or commands that are executed by Nagios. For
purposes of security and sanity, $USERn$ and "on-demand" host and
service macros are not made available as environment variables.

Environment variables that contain standard macros are named the same as
their corresponding macro names (listed here), with "NAGIOS_" prepended
to their names. For example, the $HOSTNAME$ macro would be available as
an environment variable named "NAGIOS_HOSTNAME".

This is a browser rendering issue, nothing to do with the nagios' speed
at reading and parsing its status file. To get the html to display
status for all 3800 of my services takes under 1.5 seconds --

$ time wget http://<redacted>/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all

Perhaps, but not for speed/performance reasons (outside of long-duration
archive reports), IMHO.

Isn't this already available? Status Summary, various links from
Tactical Overview, Service Problems, etc.

This is best from a workflow perspective but saying that you need to
have dual cores if you have more than one nagios user is a bit a dubious
statement. My own experience is that the above test used less than 3%
cpu for the duration of a 3.1Ghz Xeon cpu, even when viewed with a
browser. Granted it's not a vmware box but if vmware introduces that
significant of a performance impact, I'd abandon it without prejudice.

I'm trying to monitor a ton of Juniper Netscreen VPNs through any way
possible. I have the check_netscreen_vpn.pl plugin to check for this but I'm
getting bad results. I can list the VPNs on the device but not input the

In my case it is not the browser issue. The problem is that status,cgi  does
not return data rather than the data it generates is so big.

And status.cgi hog cpu time at the monitoring host (not the desktop viewing
using a browser)

I guess there are something wrong with status.cgi and even the
extinfo.cgitake considerable amount of cpu as well

Thanks

Subject: Problems with check_ssh
Message-ID: <ACD1AC996785C540AE61A7DBED385F3E17B01E@EMAIL1.gracenote.gracenote.com>

I'm trying to use check_ssh as a substitute for check_ping, for machines
on the other side of a no-ping firewall.

 

When I run the check by hand, I get:

 

../libexec/check_ssh -t 20 -H <machine-name>

SSH OK - Sun_SSH_1.1 (protocol 2.0)

 

(The -H was added after trying it without - it worked from the command
line without.  Also, the -t 20 was added because I was getting 10-second
timeout messages, and wanted to make sure that the code was responding
to the right item placed in the checkcommands.cfg file - so I changed
that to -t 20 as well.)

 

My checkcommands.cfg entry:

 

# 'check_ssh' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check_ssh

        command_line    $USER1$/check_ssh -4 -t 20 -H $HOSTADDRESS$

        }

 

My services entry:

 

define service{

        use                             generic-service         ; Name
of servic

        host_name                        <machine names here>

        service_description             SSHPING

        is_volatile                     0

        check_period                    24x7

        max_check_attempts              4

        normal_check_interval           5

        retry_check_interval            1

        contact_groups                  admins

        notification_options            w,u,c,r

        notification_interval           960

        notification_period             24x7

        check_command                   check_ssh

        }

 

It is right now running as a service, but it fails in exactly the same
way as a host-check command. I get:

 

CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 20 seconds 

 

Even though from the command line, I can reach it no problem. Any
suggestions?

The install process would be the same as if you were installing for the
first time -- do *not* try to copy everything over.

Once Nagios is installed, replace the config files with the ones from
your old server.  If you need to keep history, also copy over the log
and status files to the new server in the correct location for that
installation.

Does <machine-name> from the successful test above exactly match the
value of $HOSTADDRESS$? 

Fundamentally, the plugin is just doing a TCP connect to $HOSTADDRESS$
and looking for the version string. It then disconnects. Does 'telnet
$HOSTADDRESS$ 22' return an SSH banner? You'll need to substitute the
value of the 'address' parameter in the host{} definition for
$HOSTADDRESS$ of course.

4.4M of data in 1.39s --

[nagios at noctools nagios]$ export REQUEST_METHOD=GET; export
QUERY_STRING="host=all"; export REMOTE_USER="mpowell";
[nagios at noctools nagios]$ time ./sbin/status.cgi >foo

What status view specifically is the issue for you? What version of
nagios? Unless you're still using nagios-1.x, my gut feeling is that
there is something outside of nagios causing the issue (i.e. disk IO,
memory pressure, etc). Nagios-2 should be able to easily handle the
status data for 650 services. That was an area of significant focus and
improvement with the current version.

Hello

I added this:

define command{
        command_name    check_win_storage
        command_line     $USER3$/check_snmp_storage.pl
-H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -m $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c
$ARG4$
}


define service {
        use                     common-service
        hostgroup_name          nt-servers
        service_description     Check Windows drives
        check_command          
check_win_storage!public!^[CDE]:!80!90!
}

the result was: Return code of 127 is out of bounds -
plugin may be missing


Any idea?
thanks

You will need to actually download the plugin from 
http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_storage.html as it is not part of the 
Nagios plugins package but rather a third party plugin.

Similar benchmark  in my case :
nagtst01:/usr/local/nagios/sbin # time ./status.cgi > testdata

real    0m3.553s
user    0m3.316s
sys     0m0.044s
nagtst01:/usr/local/nagios/sbin # ls -l ../var/status.dat
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 849578 2008-02-20 11:02 ../var/status.dat


Compare with another box we have which is 30 times slower, and every part
(sys usr ; is around 20 times slower. We suspect there are some thing wrong
with the vmware config in this case. The other (good) box has around 460
services

In another box:

illuminati:/usr/local/nagios/sbin # time ./status.cgi > testdata

real    0m0.364s

Nagios 2.9 having some custom code I made but  just change the some of the
html tag output only, trivvial and 100% not affect performance. The view is
requested by nagvis. I do not do the nagvis config then I am not sure how
many request that nagvis generate but even the main page of nagios it still
takes too much cpu for status.cgi to run

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 09:40:59 +0100 (CET)
Subject: Feature requests
Message-ID: <48490.172.17.0.1.1203496859.squirrel@webmail.seaan.net>

Hi

we are integrating nagios in our company. we have nearly 3 dozens of
servers and several hundred clients. We are 15 admins split in 3 groups.
Our internal organisation is split in functions, eg. somebody cares for
the mail stuff, another one cares for the web servers and so on.

>From what I've seen while configuring contacts, contact groups, services
and service groups and timeperiods there are a few limitations that from
our point of view gave a bit of a headache. We tried to map our
organisation to somehow fit into Nagios:

- contact groups cannot be grouped. This would be great. Because the boss
of such an organisational unit could then see all tests that belong to his
OU.
- a contact cannot be associated with more than 1 time period. Thus, I
cannot be advertised from 0900 - 1700 by email (as I am in the office all
day) and from 1700 - 0900 by sms unless I configure another contact for
myself.
- service groups cannot be associated with contact groups and vice versa.
this would be very nice if serveral services are grouped then the service
group could be associated with the contact group.
- and finally theres a bug in the Nagios 2.6 (Debian Etch Stable)
documentation regarding contacts: A contact must have an email address.
The nagios documentation states otherwise.


Thanks for consideration
Best,
Philipp

Hi Tom,

Thanks

Ok - I must have not understood that then as I thought that contacts and 
groups only applied to notifications and didn't provide a mechanism to 
enable the web display to be modified so that users can only see certain 
machines/or group(s) based on their login user.

I will go and read them again.

Hello again

I downloaded the perl script and indeed I can use it
manually:
./check_snmp_storage.pl -H TROY -C public -m ^[CDE]:
-w 80% -c 90%

D:\ Label:  Serial Number 225e3590:
3%used(2587MB/89495MB) C:\ Label:  Serial Number
8cfa6a13: 27%used(6644MB/25000MB) (<80%) : OK



In nagios, I should define a service and a command to
start using check_snmp_storage.pl. Could you please
help in what I should add?

Many thanks

Subject: Nagios 3.0rc2 on Mac OSX 10.4 (PPC)
Message-ID: <EC7D6822-E189-4351-86F6-814434420B4D@logicunited.com>

Hi,

there is a problem running Nagios 3.0rc2 on Mac OSX 10.4 (PPC).
It builds without any problems. But as soon as nagios runs with a  
really tiny test configuration (just one node and one service) it  
hangs forever very soon after the start.
After looking into the source and adding some additional debug  
statements the "hang" could be boiled down to the following point:

Source= base/utils.c :
   int shutdown_command_file_worker_thread(void){
     result=pthread_cancel(worker_threads[COMMAND_WORKER_THREAD]);
     result=pthread_join(worker_threads[COMMAND_WORKER_THREAD],NULL);
   }

The process runs up to the "pthread_join" and then waits forever for  
the cancelled thread to finish.

I tried the same on Mac OSX 10.5 and haven't seen any problems there.

Question:
Does anybody have experience with Nagios 3.0rc on Mac OSX 10.4 and/or  
know how to get it working successfully?

Hi,
how can I compiled nagios (vers 3.X+) with support mysql (
I know "mysql" has been included in Nagios version 1.4X, but today??)?

Thanks and best regards,
Ladislav Havl?k

Contact groups cannot be grouped but contacts can be members of multiple 
groups. Bosses, in my limited experience either want to see problems when 
they happen and when they recover or when they have not been handled. I 
have yet to see a boss who really wants to see all notifications. I have 
met a couple who thought they wanted all notifications. This has never 
lasted more than a week before escalations were implemented. See the 
documentation for escalations: 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/escalations.html

This is accomplished by using escalations.

I, personally, never recommend using the distro package for nagios. 2.6 is 
older, the packages are not maintained by Ethan, and the latest version is 
2.10. We are a SLES shop and SLES is pretty good about updating their 
packages but I much prefer to compile Nagios from source to have that 
little bit of control. I would check the online docs concerning your 
problem and download 2.10, compile it, and go from there. Your other 
problems are all handled by escalations pretty easily.

Database support has been moved to external modules and isn't quite the
same as the 1.x version. You're looking for NDOUtils on the nagios
download page.

Melanie.

1. When you test the script are you testing it as the nagios user?
2. Does the script reside in the libexec folder under the nagios user's 
home directory?

If the answer to the above questions is yes then:

define  command {
        command_name    check_snmp_windows_disk
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp_storage -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C 
$ARG1$ -q FixedDisk -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -m $ARG4$ $ARG5$
        }
That is my command definition. $ARG5$ is an optional switch for exclusion.

One of the check commands (with security info snipped)

define  service {
        host_name                          <SNIP>
        service_description             SNMP - Windows - Disk - Production
        is_volatile                           0
        check_command check_snmp_windows_disk!<SNIP>!95!98!^C:!-e
        max_check_attempts          3
        normal_check_interval        120
        retry_check_interval            30
        active_checks_enabled        1
        passive_checks_enabled     1
        check_period                    24x7
        parallelize_check               1
        obsess_over_service             1
        check_freshness                 0
        event_handler_enabled           1
        flap_detection_enabled          1
        process_perf_data               1
        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        contact_groups                  sysalertstest
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        notifications_enabled           1
        register                        1
        }

That is the check for our production windows servers excluding the C drive 
(the -e is the exclude switch).

I hope this information is helpful.

Some systems may have issues with the "\" in a command name. I have seen 
it blow things up so there is a point on which care needs to be taken. I 
would also recommend against hard coding -w and -c values where at all 
possible. It makes using the same command for multiple services with 
different needs much more difficult. Also you should always test as the 
nagios user and not as root. Testing as root really does nothing other 
than show permissions and rights issues if the command fails to work as 
the nagios user. The script should be in libexec, owned by the nagios user 
and group, and tested as the nagios user. If that doesn't work then test 
it as root for the same dir with the same ownership to see if it works at 
all.

- Because it was difficult and time-consuming for Ethan to maintain/test
the integrated database code
- It wasn't flexible at all
- Ethan could only support databases he had direct access to and
knowledge about.
- The new method allows anyone to create a module to do pretty much
whatever they want with the data via the Event Broker interface.

Message-ID: <853903.68172.qm@web23104.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

Hi list, 
 
We arecurrently monitoring 220 Host and 3000 services with NAGIOS 2.5 on Solaris 8.The web server and the CGIs are chrooted, but Nagios core is out of the jail.We use symlinks to ensure the communication between the CORE and the CGIs.
We notice
that some hosts and services suddenly disappear on the web interface. According
to the FAQ, this is due to multiple main nagios process in memory.

 
We are surethat Nagios init script is run just once and then watch nagios processes 
Here is theresult:

Mainprocess id is 10334, and we see it forking frequently. Some childs fork inturn, then die, letting orphan processes ?
What aboutthose orphan processes staying in memory ? Is it Nagios? normal behaviour ? Doservices and host disappear suddenly because of this ?
Thanks foryour advices !

Xavier

Subject: State Stalking and notifications
Message-ID: <E30DC1CCEA713E449C28D314E007D21BD0F659@PEPWMV00041.corp.pep.pvt>


On more than a few occasions, I've had users ask me if it's possible to
have alerts sent if the output of a check changes.  That is, if you
consider that a check might actually have multiple failure conditions it
could be monitoring.  And example of this might be a single command you
run that reports about multiple aspects of an application.  The check
goes critical if one part of that app becomes non-functional, but if a
second piece goes off-line, the state of the check hasn't changed, so no
notification is sent.

I read about "state stalking" and thought that this might be what I was
looking for.  However, after reading a bit more closely, it appears that
what state stalking is really about is logging results of checks and not
about sending additional notifications.

I understand the philosophy of "well if one part is broken or two parts
are broken, you have to fix it anyway".  There's also the hack of having
recurring notifications sent (say every 30 minutes) which should send a
user the latest check output.  Neither of those options are particularly
nice for us.  I had thought about writing a custom check for each line
of output that this command generates, but that seems needlessly
painful.

I see that volatile checks are more about notifications, however they
will send a notification every time the service comes back non-OK (i.e.
even if the check output is exactly the same) which is not what we want.

I'm guessing the answer here is "Nagios can't do that", but I thought
I'd ask anyway.

Thanks

Mark

Nagios can't do that.

However, you can but it's not necessarily convenient. I would approach
it as having intimate control over the notification script. It's
certainly possible to specify a notification script for that service
that tracks the previous output, status and other information and
notifies appropriately. Combine that with the volatile setting and you
have a way to do what you want outside of nagios.

Technically Nagios can't do that. At least not from the vantage point you 
have described. We are much more granular in our monitoring for exactly 
the scenario you have described. At this point we don't combine multiple 
pieces into a single service check unless a department manager 
specifically requests a full overview in a single check. We monitor each 
piece with its own service check so we have complete control over who get 
notified for what, when they get notified, how often they get notified, 
and so on. I would say that Nagios can do what you want but that it is up 
to you to make your checks more granular.

Subject: DNX Version 0.15 Released!
In-Reply-To: <3ee91eb90802200806l37bdee98y75efd34f35069867@mail.gmail.com>

We're pleased to announce the release of the Distributed Nagios
eXecutor (DNX) version 0.15.

DNX is a modular extension of Nagios that offloads a significant
portion of the work normally done by Nagios to a distributed network
of remote hosts. DNX worker nodes execute the DNX client as a daemon
service. DNX clients register requests for work with the DNX server
module. The DNX server module is a Nagios NEB (Nagios Event Broker)
plugin module, which registers an event handler for all service
checks. During the event, the DNX NEB module indicates to Nagios that
it will handle the service check. It sends the check command to a
registered worker node. A background thread awaits result information,
which the NEB module then posts to the Nagios results queue. The DNX
NEB module ensures that work is distributed fairly and evenly among
the registered DNX client hosts.

It's been 4 months since the release of the last version (0.13) of
DNX. The following is an excerpt from the DNX NEWS file for version
0.15:

- We're in SVN on sourceforge now!
- Added autotools build system.
- Completely rewritten configuration system.
- Completely updated thread pool.
- New configuration parameters added.
- New command-line options added.
- Ability to reconfigure most parameters with SIGHUP.
- Unit test infrastructure added; several unit tests added.
- Debug memory manager added; fixed several memory leaks.
- Added node address to dnx error strings passed from failed checks.
- Doxygen documentation added.
- Init script updated to LSB.
- Several install and doc targets added.
- Added support for Nagios versions 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 3.0rc2.
- dnxstats utility added to manage and retrieve stats from dnx client nodes.
- Configuration and build system allow installation of client and
server separately.
- Support added to configure script for RPM packages managed through
the OpenSUSE build service.

Binary packages are published through the OpenSuSE Build Service (OBS)
at http://build.opensuse.org. Just search for the keyword "dnx" at
http://software.opensuse.org/search.

You can find out more about DNX at the DNX project web site at
http://dnx.sourceforge.net.

You can access this release at the sourceforge project page at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/dnx.

Enjoy!
John

As long as we are speaking of feature requests, it would be extremely 
cool if the groups could be defined redundantly.  i.e., groups could 
contain groups with arbitrary nesting depth.

If there is one feature which would make Nagios orders of magnitude 
better, this may well be it.  I'm looking at monitoring a lot of servers 
and being able to group servers into a rack group, groups into a module 
group, modules into a ??? group, and so on would cut the problem of 
thousands of servers into manageable chuncks.

Well, I added event_handler_enabled configuration and still I'm not
getting my event handler fired. I've tried both for the service (PING)
and for the host, individually and in combination. I don't see anything
in the debug logs that would indicate that an event handler should have
fired (even with the filter set to -1). The script is executable by the
nagios user (logged in as that user, execute same commandline as in
command def, no problem).

1. What/where should I be able to see in terms of event handlers firing
in the logs?

2. Are event handlers affected by notification settings (I'm assuming
not)?

3. What the heck am I doing wrong? This looks like it should be
straightforward!

   I was wondering if anyone would be willing to check some code for me.
I have modified the nagios startup script to include NDO, and just
wanted some feedback on the methods I used and to see if anyone has a
cleaner way. Thanks. I have not tested this yet, as we are in the middle
of changing our test center around right now.

Are there any plugins that will monitor memory use of processes on a
Windows system?

 

Thanks

NSClient++ has this built in, see check_nt --help.

Ah, sorry, if you mean how much memory a given process is using then 
you'll need a plugin indeed.

Have you checked NagiosExchange.org and done a search there?

If you don't find anything, you could probably just rustle something up 
with a bit of VBS+WMI if you're a coder.

That claims to do exactly what you want. I haven't used it so I can't say 
more than that.

Had a quick look at that, it's very short, and you will need snmp on the 
windows hosts available. I think WMI would be a better choice here if 
you could write something to do this, otherwise you'd have to go and set 
up snmp on all the windows devices you wanted to monitor in this way and 
open up the firewalls too.

Well, I added event_handler_enabled configuration and still I'm not
getting my event handler fired. I've tried both for the service (PING)
and for the host, individually and in combination. I don't see anything
in the debug logs that would indicate that an event handler should have
fired (even with the filter set to -1). The script is executable by the
nagios user (logged in as that user, execute same commandline as in
command def, no problem).

1. What/where should I be able to see in terms of event handlers firing
in the logs?

2. Are event handlers affected by notification settings (I'm assuming
not)?

3. What the heck am I doing wrong? This looks like it should be
straightforward!

Look through error logs.

If your handler is a script, have it write a file in /tmp when it starts.

Yeah I tend to forget that not everyone has SNMP turned on. We have HP 
boxes and use HPSIM so SNMP is already enabled on every one of our hosts 
as part of the setup process including secure community strings and so on. 
This is a boon for me because I get to use SNMP for a majority of 
monitoring tasks and don't have to go through change control to get stuff 
installed on the farm. If you don't already have it enabled I can see it 
being a massive chore. Good point Hari and thanks for the response.

If you need both granularity and flexibility and on top an overall evaluation 
of your particular results then have a look onto check_multi 
(http://www.my-plugin.de/check_multi).

It combines both concepts - granular results and process views - just as you 
define it.

Subject: status.cgi very high cpu usage => Problem gone
	away
Message-ID: <bbc707b90802201550x3101bb91sbfc0499147084e96@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

The most scary thing is, as suddenly like when it came, it suddenly went
away this morning. Not any changes to the nagios system or vmware guest and
hosts.

I have been doing the similar benchmark of status.cgi on the real host with
the same status.dat file with the host having problem. It takes 0.1 sec to
process, and in the vmware host it took 3.9 second. I have a quick look of
how status.cgi parse the text file and see lots of  memory cmp (strcmp call
to libc) and move. So my wild guess is that memory operation on the vm is
terribly slow for some reason. And suddenly as come from nowhere, it just
become as fast as normal.

Any one has a bright idea of what is going on ?

Thanks

Subject: check_ssh to find "corrupt" keys that need
	regeneration?
Message-ID: <2b7af7c40802201638v50aa556flfa06ce48d73c9599@mail.gmail.com>

I have ~300 Foundry routers, and periodically something (not sure what)
"happens" that resets some sort of key that prevents me from SSH'ing in with
a tool like PuTTY and Teraterm (have not tried this from a Linux ssh box).

check_ssh, I know, checks the ssh handshake but (to my knowledge) does not
help us make sure that we can add the user/passwd from PuTTY (or equiv).

Is there a switch in check_ssh that I'm missing? Or perhaps a plugin?  Or is
this something that I will have to kludge myself?

For what it's worth, one associate of mine has suggested using a script
based on Net::Telnet (which, according to the man page, can be told to use
SSH for the underlying transport -- see man page), Net::SSH, or maybe even
just a plain expect script to prove that one can log in.

Anybody have an example of one of these that I can look at?
