You are not clear in your request. I guess there it is a language issue
here but please be clearer in your message on what you want to achieve
exactly.

For example. I have service Ping on server. I see that it is "0d 0h

I could be wrong, but I believe the Service State information will update
its time based on soft and hard errors, where as the availability graphs
will only change based on hard state information.

So I guess you're running a hand-made check against a SQL database and
want to optionally view the full output of the check Or something like
this)?

The easiest way I can think off is to create a place on your Nagios web
server writable by the nagios user and dump the file there; then you can
configure the service notes_url or action_url to point to that file via
HTTP.

Setting up notes_url or action_url will add a small icon next to the
service and a bigger one the service detail page, and will also set the
macros $NOTESURL$ and $ACTIONURL$ (p.s. double-check the macro names, my
memory isn't 100% guaranteed) that you can use for example in the
service notifications.

Hope this helps,

Thomas

Hi All,

we use latest nagios-3 and latest NagiosGrapher-1.6.1-rc5.

It all works very well, except for one annoying problem:
I get gaps in the graphs, and I don't understand why.

Any ideas appreciated, sample graph attached.

Hi Lars,

which interface are you using? And how big is your nagios' latency?

Cheers,

Gerd

Subject: check_by_ssh problem
Message-ID: <12838.130.73.72.85.1199266469.squirrel@imap.zib.de>

I want to do some checks on a remote host using check_by_ssh. Although
user nagios can ssh to that host without being asked for a password the
webinterface of my nagios is telling me:

Unknown
Remote command execution failed: Permission denied
(publickey,keyboard-interactive)

If I run nagios in the foreground I get prompts for password.

Any idea what I might have missed?

I don't quite understand the first question there?
We use the Nagios web interface with the nuvola theme?

We have only a few hosts and around a hundred service checks,
i.e. no heavy load here:

# nagiostats | grep -i latency
Active Service Latency:                 0.000 / 0.335 / 0.135 sec
Passive Service Latency:                0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 sec
Active Host Latency:                    0.000 / 0.284 / 0.152 sec
Passive Host Latency:                   0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 sec

# nagiostats | grep -i total
Used/High/Total Command Buffers:        0 / 1 / 4096
Total Services:                         114
Total Service State Change:             0.000 / 12.110 / 0.106 %
Total Hosts:                            19
Total Host State Change:                0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 %

Subject: Object sum
Message-ID: <50162.10.0.0.1.1199269052.squirrel@localhost>

Hi!

I' m newbie to nagios, but i didn' t find solution to my problem in the
archives.

Is there any object where i can list more than one check command?

So, if i have this check commands:
check_disk_1
check_disk_2
check_disk_3
and i have this hosts:
server1
server2
server3
and all the servers "has got" disk_1, disk_2, disk_3
then i can order servers into hostgroups, but can i do the same with the
check commands? (and can i combine it with hostgroups)?

Thanks for the answers.

Message-ID: <C2CDA28CB6E1484BB10006BF326D4D0832E117@srv-cob-00-0056.elaxy.org>

Hi All!

First off my apologies. Apparently I forget to stop the subscription
while I was on vacation, so I would imagine that most everyone got a
vacation notice from me. Sorry!

We have a situation (using Nagios 2.5) we need to monitor/report
services "conceptually". That is, we have several services that are
monitored and only when all of these are not accessible do we report
that the main service is not accessible. I couldn't find any information
on propagating services, so I was thinking about using an event handler
that would run whenever one of the low-level services changes state. The
handler would then check the other services (perhaps using the
Nagios-Object perl module) and if all of the other services are
critical, the handler would use send_nsca to send a message to the
master service. However, if there is some mechanism already built in
(even Nagios 3.0) that would save me the work of re-inventing the wheel.

I would be grateful for any input or ideas.

Regards,

Jim Mohr

not sure but I think your check_ping command has an error, try
changing it to

command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$ -p 5

Subject: Licensing of Official and 3rd Party Plugins
Message-ID: <477B8DBE.7020207@googlemail.com>

Hi,

   I was wondering if anyone had any views on the licensing of plugins, 
I have looked at GPL version 3 and it looks good, really just an update 
to GPL version 2.

So the question is, why not license plugins as GPL version 3 now?
I am really asking this in 2 respects:

1. for the Official Plugins
2. for custom plugins released to Nagios Exchange.

Basically it comes down to GPLv2 vs GPLv3.

Has anyone considered upgrading to the official Nagios code base to the 
newer GPL?

Should I license plugins I write as GPLv3 now instead of GPLv2? Are 
there any detractions in doing this?

Maybe you can solve your issue already on the plugin level:

- If you want to evaluate the state of existing Nagios services take a look onto check_cluster.

- If you want to cover more sophisticated setups and be able to do a fine granulated evaluation of the results of your child checks you can also take check_multi (http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/start) , which is mainly written for Nagios 3, but also works with Nagios 2.
The state evaluation topic is handled in the 'Process Views' page (http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/process_views)

Are you using the exact same hostname/IP address for your command line  
test as the nagios user that you have in your configuration?

Looks like your check_nrpe command on your nagios machine isn't properly
passing the command line arguments to NRPE on the remote machine. That
could be due to your check_nrpe command definition not being configured
properly, you didn't compile NRPE with command line arguments option
enabled or you haven't set dont_blame_nrpe in nrpe.cfg on the remote
machine.

It means that the argument to -w on the machine running check_ping is
blank or not an integer or percentage.

# CONNECTION TIMEOUT
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will
# wait for a connection to be established before exiting. This is sometimes
# seen where a network problem stops the SSL being established even though
# all network sessions are connected. This causes the nrpe daemons to
# accumulate, eating system resources. Do not set this too low.

connection_timeout=300



# WEEK RANDOM SEED OPTION
# This directive allows you to use SSL even if your system does not have
# a /dev/random or /dev/urandom (on purpose or because the necessary patches
# were not applied). The random number generator will be seeded from a file
# which is either a file pointed to by the environment valiable $RANDFILE
# or $HOME/.rnd. If neither exists, the pseudo random number generator will
# be initialized and a warning will be issued.
# Values: 0=only seed from /dev/[u]random, 1=also seed from weak randomness

#allow_weak_random_seed=1



# INCLUDE CONFIG FILE
# This directive allows you to include definitions from an external config
file.

#include=<somefile.cfg>



# INCLUDE CONFIG DIRECTORY
# This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a
# .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion).

#include_dir=<somedirectory>
#include_dir=<someotherdirectory>



# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
# are in the following format:
#
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
#
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.
#
# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
# typed exactly as it should be executed.
#
# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below
# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# directory.  Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below
# to match the argument format the plugins expect.  Remember, these are
# examples only!


# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...

#command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
#command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c
30,25,20
#command[check_hda1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/dev/hda1
#command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 5 -c
10 -s Z
#command[check_total_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c
200


# The following examples allow user-supplied arguments and can
# only be used if the NRPE daemon was compiled with support for
# command arguments *AND* the dont_blame_nrpe directive in this
# config file is set to '1'.  This poses a potential security risk, so
# make sure you read the SECURITY file before doing this.

[list protocol note? - I suppose, since people *will* top post, a thread 
that is top posted should remain top posted]

A quick Google search shows you are by no means the first to run into this.
What is the ping check for? Do you want to check if linux1 is up from 
the Nagios server, or check something else from linux1? If the former, 
there's no need for it to be an nrpe check, if the later, google "nrpe 
check_ping" will bring up lots of clues, hints and discussions.

Subject: NRPE Logging. Documentation?
Message-ID: <477BB882.3020302@googlemail.com>

I want to log every nrpe call that is made including the command it ran, 
source, username the command is running as etc so I have a more full 
audit trail.

I have googled and read http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf 
but this seems very basic, for beginners really.
There is only a brief mention of nrpe.cfg and how to added a remote check.
What I want is a complete nrpe.cfg reference, I found a site one but 
there was no mention of any logging facility, I suspect there is none.
I was hoping that there was a config file parameter to activate some 
kind of logging but I cannot find anything like this.

I am calling nrpe through xinetd to get host restrictions. Does anyone 
know of any workarounds or if I am just missing something?

That's what we do. I love xinetd.

Set values:

As for logging, it logs to static facility hard-coded into the code
(which you cannot change during runtime -- this is a NFS/Bug issue).
Google: nagios+seklecki+nrpe+nsca+syslog

You can work around it by routing message to a custom destination in
syslog-ng(8) using a program{} filter.

Yes it's ok, but this doesn't really address the issue:

I want full logging of nrpe calls. Xinetd can only log the ip address 
and the program initiated which is always just "nrpe". It has to be nrpe 
itself that logs to syslog as only nrpe know what's it's doing after 
xinetd hands off the connection to it.

Does anyone know if nrpe can log to syslog and preferably record all 
nrpe commands called?

Yes syslog-ng is excellent I know. I have tried the workaround of using 
debug but this produces a massive amount of logging, it lists every 
single command defined in nrpe every single time an nrpe call is made. 
This means I could be getting 100 lines of logging for every command I 
call every time. This is completely over the top and might just harm my 
logging infrastructure.

While syslog-ng could be used to filter all this out, I am hesitant to 
do this as it really feels like a hack...

I think I might live without this until someone comes up with a way to 
do it properly within nrpe, or until I get some time to try to do this 
and submit a patch (which will definitely not be any time soon).

Unless anyone else has any better ideas?

Do you propose an intermediary log level that, on a single line, logs the 
remote host, command executed, and result code w/o displaying all of 
stdout/stderr?

Yes but the reason I didn't do debug is that I don't want debug logging 
really, I want security logging. The debug makes a massive amount of 
logging and would place a heavy burden on my logging systems. Filtering 
out some regex on all the systems via syslog-ng is kind of hackish so 
I'm resisting doing this.

I'll wait for a proper security logging option rather than starting to 
make exceptions everywhere and end up with a big mess.

I think that is an excellent idea and would significantly improve nrpe 
as a program and raise the bar for auditing purposes. A single line is 
all that is needed really - who called what, what was run in what 
security context from what ip address etc. In fact, there could be a 
second line of logging with the results, the exit code and the 
stdout/stderr.... but these should be 2 different logging levels so that 
you have the choice in nrpe.cfg...

This is probably either a firewall issue or you haven?t configured xinetd properly for your nagios server:

 

Try:  cat /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

 

# default: on

# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)

service nrpe

{

        flags           = REUSE

        socket_type     = stream    

        port            = 5666    

        wait            = no

        user            = nagios

        group           = nagios

        server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe

        server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd

        log_on_failure  += USERID

        disable         = no

        only_from       = 127.0.0.1 10.5.1.32         ? You need to make sure your server IP is listed here ? just need a space between the IPs (no comma, quotes etc).

}

 

IP restrictions in nrpe.cfg aren?t used if you are using xinetd

# This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a
# .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion). 

#include_dir=<somedirectory>
#include_dir=<someotherdirectory>



# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
# are in the following format: 
#
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
#
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument. 
#
# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
# typed exactly as it should be executed.
#
# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below 
# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# directory.  Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below
# to match the argument format the plugins expect.  Remember, these are 
# examples only!


# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...

#command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
#command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20 
#command[check_hda1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/hda1
#command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z
#command[check_total_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c 200 


# The following examples allow user-supplied arguments and can
# only be used if the NRPE daemon was compiled with support for
# command arguments *AND* the dont_blame_nrpe directive in this
# config file is set to '1'.  This poses a potential security risk, so 
# make sure you read the SECURITY file before doing this.

#command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

It means that the argument to -w on the machine running check_ping is 
blank or not an integer or percentage.

I also agree with the idea, though I'd want to build on the ideas used 
in Apache, or an access log and an error/debug log. That is, the exit 
code could be part of the access_log standard, and the stderr could be 
sent to a separate error_log file.

Lars and Gerd,

I am having a similar problem with rrd gaps.
It was doing fine until I added 3 more hosts and 8 more services and then
suddenly I get the rrd gaps, some graphs are even blank.

My latency are as below (they seem pretty high compared to yours?):

# nagiostats | grep -i latency
Active Service Latency:               6.804 / 330.675 / 238.562 sec
Active Host Latency:                  0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 sec


nagiostats | grep -i total
Used/High/Total Command Buffers:      0 / 8 / 4096
Used/High/Total Check Result Buffers: 85 / 106 / 4096
Total Services:                       106
Total Service State Change:           0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 %
Total Hosts:                          36
Total Host State Change:              0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 %


I also use the rpm package from linadd.org.
nagios-2.9-1.i586.rpm,
nagios-web-2.9-1.i586.rpm,
nagios-plugins-1.4.9-1.i586.rpm,
nagios-plugins-extras-1.4.9-1.i586.rpm
nagios-graph-1.6.1-rc3.i586.rpm

If you find any solution for this I would be more than happy :)

Thanks,
- Palle

You can license your plugin however you choose.  The plugins I write  
are BSD, for instance.

You know, the only improvement I could see with this aspect is the
ability to over-ride the on-call rotation through the front end.  This
would be helpful for other departments and their on-call rotation
exception. (example: Joe Smith is suppose to be on call be had to leave
town all of a sudden.  John Jinglehammer is taking his on-call
rotation.)    Any suggestions? 

Thanks, 

Robert

After reading your post and thinking about it, I decided to backup and
then upgrade to the latest release which is 3.0rc1.  (I was on 3.0b4.)
I read the release notes and didn't see anything except where they added
the "exclude" option in version 3.0b1 but I was already on a version
after that.  After the upgrade, the new directives seem to be working.
At least when I verify the cfg files, no errors come up.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, I am using 3 and it could very well be a bug.

If I am reading the documentation correctly, specifically starting on
page 231 of the Nagios 3 doc, with this setup, it will rotate every 14
days or 21 days or what every you set.  Say I am on call this week on
Monday, 14 days later it will start again.

Anyway, how would I report this as a bug or is there a syntax error I am
missing?

Thanks

Robert

This pretty useful, I didn't know once could do this and would like to.
However, I run nagios 2 and it appears this is only available on nagios
3, are you using nagios 3?

If so, maybe it's a bug in this new feature?  Also, this looks like it
would only do Dec 24, 25, then Jan 7,8, then Jan 14,15 (what you want?)
but I may be misreading the documentation.

First, I would start by installing the Nagios suite on Solaris.
[ http://www.nagios.org/docs/ ]

Then, once you have the software installed, copy over your configuration 
  file(s) and start the daemon.

Cheers,

Ought to be as simple as installing Nagios on your solaris box and
rsyncing over the config files, and make the few modifications to the
main config files.

Subject: Failing event_handlers and ocsp/ochp_command not
	logged?
Message-ID: <1199304403.2774.31.camel@soundwave.pitbpa0.priv.collaborativefusion.com>

What happens if ocsp/ohcp commands return non-zero status?

# send_nsca -H doesnt.fucking.exist -c foo/etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg
Invalid host name 'doesnt.fucking.exist'
Error: Could not connect to host doesnt.fucking.exist on port 5667
# echo $?
2

When this happens, its a very serious problem.  Nothing is logged. This
results in a silent failure. 

Obviously, send_nsca should transmit to a hostname in hosts(5) and/or to
an IP address that is highly available resolving any dependency on DNS. 

But even with that in mind, this exec()/fork() model behavior is
pragmatically incorrect.

The code should be checking result code for return values != 0, and
printing a critical error to the logs.

Moreover, even with debug_level=99999999999999999999999999

No warning / error / notice occurs:

It should be pretty straightforward assuming you're using comparable
versions of nagios on both machines.

- compile and install nagios on solaris (package may be available).
- compile and install nagios-plugins on solaris (package may be
available)
- stop nagios on your current box
- copy over ~nagios/etc/* and ~nagios/var/*
- restart nagios on your current box
- edit paths in nagios.cfg, cgi.cfg and resource.cfg as appropriate on
solaris
- verify config on solaris (~nagios/bin/nagios -v
~nagios/etc/nagios.cfg)
- start nagios on solaris.
- verify results are the same as your current box
- stop nagios on your current box
- Profit!

If you're using check_nrpe, check_by_ssh or any other plugins that might
have restricted access to remote hosts, verify that your new solaris box
is permitted.

If you're using NSCA, make sure that send_nsca on your remote machines
is sending to your new box.

Hi,
   I know this is a weird request but ..... I have a  NOC where the service problems page is always up on a large plasma display. While this isn't all that useful, it makes for some great eye candy for clients ,prospective clients and management types that like blinky lights. However, I have a single key check that shows the total number of active uses in our system at any given time. This check is always in an OK state (although if the number ever was huge we could have it go to a warning to critical state). So I want that check to be displayed on the service problem page as well. I know that this is not a normal request but I was trying to see if there was a way to manipulate the display filters or concoct a string to add into the status.cgi uri to get this to work. Anyone have any sugge
 stions? Thanks, -Seth

I think you can accomplish what you want by using the negate plugin.  It
pretty much inverts your results.


Negates the status of a plugin (returns OK for CRITICAL, and
vice-versa).

Usage: negate [-t timeout] <definition of wrapped plugin>

"I think so" doesn't sound very convincing :-)

Anyway, there's no ssh-agent(1) involved?  Does it work on the command
line if you use "env -i /path/to/check_by_ssh [...]"?

I love the negate plugin and have used it often. However, I want this single check (which is always in an OK state to show up on our default display page (as OK) which is the service problem page. The end result would be all of our service problems in their warning or critical state along with this one check which is in an OK state. I don't know if I can create a custom page somehow to do this or modify the URI that is used. I have tried the later with no luck but I am no CGI whiz. As I said, it is a strange request but makes some sense when you understand the purpose. Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions? Thanks. -Seth

P.S. Right now, I have it set the check be in a warning state but the end result is that I get more questions about why the logged in / active user count is warning than it is worth.

Subject: nagios.cmd command failure
Message-ID: <dd9a97a40801021819t29c4bc3dyc6a90ee935a181ea@mail.gmail.com>

When trying to update anything on the website i get this error message:

Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for
update!
The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be
incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.

Return from whence you came <javascript:window.history.go(-2)>

I have tried everything with the permissions, restarted the service and web
service.. From what i read the nagios.cmd is made upon start up. Is there
away to create a new nagios.cmd or copy and past one in?

Thanks in advance

-Tmpky

Nope... though the good news is that if the permissions on
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw are correct, Nagios *will* create the pipe for
you when it starts.

You just need to make sure that the file it creates is writeable by the
user your webserver runs as. If it's not, chances are you compiled
Nagios yourself and used incorrect configure flags for how your
webserver is configured.  At that point your options are to either
recompile with the correct flags, or to modify the user your webserver
runs as so that it has write privileges to that file.

There's no way to manipulate the filters to do that. AFAIK, the only  
way to accomplish it would be to modify status.c to always show that  
host or service in the Service Status Details view regardless of the  
filters.

How would you monitor it at all? What options did you explore?

I think it would be wise if you spend some time going over the
mailinglist archives for existing solutions.

Thanks for the reply Eric, but this wasn't really the question. Of 
course I license my plugins how I want, but the question is really one 
of GPLv2 and GPLv3.

Are there any plans to upgrade the official plugin distribution to GPLv3?
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to doing so?
Does anyone have any opinions in licensing of 3rd party plugins as GPLv3 
instead of GPLv2?

Hi,

the old NagiosGrapher interfaces (network/pipe) can cause huge
latency :-(. Thanks to a patch we got there is a new interface type
"file". The main advantages of this new interface are:
* no gaps any more
* no latency caused by NagiosGrapher
* restarting NagiosGrapher does not cause any gaps

I am sorry but the documentation totally lacks this interface. But below
is all you need.

Cheers,

Gerd

    interface               file

Servus Matthias!

Thanks for that tip. It looks really interesting and exciting. We currently have Nagios 2, but have 3 on a test system and probably won't be making any major changes until we have 3 up and running. I'll get it going on the test system and see how it works. Thanks again!

Or : you may be running SElinux... In any way, nagios is happy if you
provide it with an already created pipe, which correct rights.

I've been getting hard time having nagios running on a SElinux server,
because at each beta/RC update file and directories permissions had to
be added again so that SELinux allows apache to read/write files. 

So if this is an SELinux problem (check /var/log/messages for weird
errors about context things), you can try what follows.

In my case, I'm running a Scientific Linux box (RHEL), which already has
SELinux policies for httpd - you can try :
man httpd_selinux

(man page was installed with selinux-policy-targeted rpm)

In my case again, I have to do such things in order to get write access
granted to httpd (I added this in the %post specfile macro):

if [ -x /usr/bin/chcon ]; then
        [ -d /var/spool/nagios ] && /usr/bin/chcon -R -t
httpd_sys_content_t /var/spool/nagios
        [ -d /var/log/nagios ] && /usr/bin/chcon -R -t
httpd_sys_content_t /var/log/nagios
        FIFO=/var/spool/nagios/nagios.cmd
        [ ! -p $FIFO ] && mkfifo -m 660 $FIFO && chown
%{nsusr}:%{cmdgrp} $FIFO
        [ -p $FIFO ] && /usr/bin/chcon -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t $FIFO
fi

(following goes in the %post www)
if [ -x /usr/bin/chcon ]; then
        [ -d /usr/lib/nagios/cgi ] && /usr/bin/chcon -R -t
httpd_sys_script_exec_t /usr/lib/nagios/cgi
fi

Magic command is chcon, but it's hard to find about the
httpd_sys_blahblah stuff...

Regards

P.S : to check existing SELinux rights, try ls -lZ ;)

Hi lists,

 

I just checked in the CVS tree, and nagios/nrpe spec files still
contains the non-system groupadds ...

It's not that I'm willing to see this changes at all costs in the
official spec files since I have patched ones for now, but I guess I'm
not the only one this kind of update will help... am I ?

 

Regards

Hmmm... by the way, the nagios.spec file has the same defect : it's
using "groupadd" whereas it's using "useradd -r" ... if this could also
be corrected...

Subject: [Nagios-devel] nrpe RPM spec file bug(s)

 

Hi,

 

In the nagios spec file, the nagios user is added with command < useradd
-r > which creates a system account + system group.

 

In the nrpe spec file, there is first a standard groupadd on the Nagios
group, and then a useradd with the -r option for the user.

It looks to me that the first groupadd is then useless, isn't it ?

 

By the way : when the groupadd is run, there's a grep on the hardcoded
"nagios" value, while just after the %{nsgrp} is used to add the group,
which is also a bug I think...

 

Nevertheless, if the groupadd has to be kept, would it be possible to
use it also with the "-r" option ? This way, a system group would be
created.

This would avoid conflicts with standard users/groups, and this would
also make things more consistent.

 

I can easily patch the spec file, but I'm using nrpe on a few hundred
machines, and I guess other people managing clusters may face the same
problem of GID conflicts that I just did, which could probably be easily
be avoided.... so here I'm sharing the problem and potential solution.

 

Thanks for patching && regards && merry Christmas ! :]

Frederic

Hi Guys,

Nagios is a wonderful tool but it's status map is not the prettiest. Any
tool out there that I can integrate with nagios to produce nice maps. I will
love something that I can use to create multiple maps that are all connected
to a general map?

Stephen,

nagvis is good but it lacks a very important feature that is present in most
NMS. It can't tell you if any host if down within a site.

Take for instance, I have 4 sites

Site 1 - router1, server1, switch, access point1
Site 2 - router2, workstation1, workstation2, server3, access point2
Site 3 - router3, workstation3, workstation4, accesspoint3
Site 4 - access point4, workstation5

Now, you can have a default map that link these 4 sites. With nagvis you
have to monitor all the devices at each site and show them on the map. I
don't want a map that will show all my devices on one cluttered map. I want
a map that will add the four sites above and each site will be able to show
(problem, on or off) on the main map if any device on any 4 sites has a
problem.

I sent several emails asking the nagvis developers if this is possible but I
got no reply. If nagvis can do this, I will use it without hesitation.

Alex,

I hope I understand what you want to tell us.
Nagvis can make a distinction between a host/service, a hostgroup, a 
servicegroup OR a map.
So, if you want a general map with one symbol representing the 4 sites, 
you can make a general map with on that general map, one symbol, 
respresenting a sub-map (I can't remember the Nagvis nomination by heart).
Then you create the submap and on that submap you can put 4 symbols, one 
for each site (considered your site is hostgroup in Nagios).

To make things more clear, before you can represent the status of a 
sub-map (or child-map) on a general map, the child-map has to be created 
first in Nagvis.
Hope this helps.
Don't hesitate to contact me if this explanation isn't clear enough,

Frederik

Yes it does work.
Does it matter if I do not login as nagios to the webinterface?

Subject: Exception to services defined for all hosts
Message-ID: <C2CDA28CB6E1484BB10006BF326D4D0832E122@srv-cob-00-0056.elaxy.org>

Hi All!

I have a couple of services that I have defined for all hosts with
"host_name  *". However, there are a couple of hosts which have
different notification periods. So, I was wondering if there was anyway
of defining exceptions. I see that in Nagios 3 you can assign a
hostgroup_name to a service. This would definitely save a lot of work,
but the case where we have 100 nodes and only two exceptions, it still
seems to be a fair bit of work. So I would still like to be able to
define exceptions. Is that possible? Any info is appreciated.

Regards,

Jim Mohr

It's not documented but you can use hostgroups in Nagios 2.X, I do.

You can usually try to do something like

host_name !hostname1, !hostname2 etc...

This works when using a hostgroup_name in the service definition but I 
haven't tried it with things like *...

Thanks Stephen,

You will have to show me how to use the overall status info from tac.cgi. I
just thought about it, since nagvis can monitor hostgroups, I will create a
hostgroup for each site and place the icons on the main map. I think that
should solve it. Silly of me - what didn't I think about this earlier

Thanks Stephen

Hi,

the old NagiosGrapher interfaces (network/pipe) can cause huge
latency :-(. Thanks to a patch we got there is a new interface type
"file". The main advantages of this new interface are:
* no gaps any more
* no latency caused by NagiosGrapher
* restarting NagiosGrapher does not cause any gaps

I am sorry but the documentation totally lacks this interface. But below
is all you need.

Cheers,

Gerd

Subject: Announce: check_mysql_perf
Message-ID: <016101c84e15$812cb650$a601000a@int.consol.de>

Hi Nagios users,

allow me to offer you my plugin check_mysql_perf.
It was written to monitor (primarily) performance related characteristics of
a MySQL database.
The -m option tells the plugin the desired mode. Possible keywords are:

threads-connected (Check 'Threads connected')
qcache-hitrate    (Check 'Query cache hitrate')
keycache-hitrate  (Check 'Key cache hitrate')
connection-time   (Check 'Seconds to get a connection')
tmp-disk-tables   (Check 'Percent of temp tables created on disk')
slave-lag         (Check 'Seconds behind master')
slave-io-running  (Check for 'Slave io running: Yes')
slave-sql-running (Check for 'Slave sql running: Yes')

Example:
check_mysql_perf -m qcache-hitrate
OK - Query Cache Hitrate at 93.93%|qcache_hitrate=93.93%;90:;80:

check_mysql_perf -m qcache-hitrate -w 95: -c 90:
WARNING - Query Cache Hitrate at 93.93%|qcache_hitrate=93.93%;95:;90:

Please take into account that you need also the nagios-plugins package (i
recommend 1.4.11) for a successful build.
The steps are:
- tar zxvf nagios-plugins-1.4.11.tar.gz
- cd nagios-plugins-1.4.11; ./configure; make
- cd ..
- tar zxvf check_mysql-perf-1.1.tar.gz
- cd check_mysql-perf-1.1
- ./configure --with-officialplugins=/absolute/path/to/nagios-plugins-1.4.11
- make

Of course a mysql-dev installation has to be found (or provided with
--with-mysql) either in step 2 or step 6.

You can find more documentation and the download link at 
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-mysql-perf

Greetings from Munich,
Gerhard

Which version of NagiosGrapher are you using? The file interface exists
only in the newest version.

Subject: rrd gaps <Virus checked>
In-Reply-To: <477B55BF.3080602@telcotec.se>
References: <477B55BF.3080602@telcotec.se>
Message-ID: <477CF7E9.6080900@de.rhenus.com>

Hi there,

here's my 2 cents about the gaps:

 From my experience, gaps are normally caused by missing datasets over a 
period of time. RRD expects data within a time window defined in
the "step" and "heartbeat" variables. If data doesn't arrive in this 
window, the value for the defined time frame is set to "NaN" (Not a 
number), resulting in not being displayed in the generated image.

Missing datasets are often caused by:

- Huge service latencies, e.g. if you got lots of services to be checked 
in a rather short period of time. (Got this with 3k services, which 
should be checked in a period of 2 minutes -> 25 Checks/second is quite 
a lot...)

- non-fitting service check intervals. If you check your services in a 
15 minute interval, but your rrd files expect data every 5 minutes, only 
every third time frame will be filled, resulting in gaps.

Maybe this is of some use.

Regards,

Marcus Fleige

Hi Guys,

Nagios is a wonderful tool but it's status map is not the prettiest. Any
tool out there that I can integrate with nagios to produce nice maps. I will
love something that I can use to create multiple maps that are all connected
to a general map?

I am not using the most current version of Nagiosgrapher; I am using
Nagiosgrapher 1.6.1-rc3. How hard is it to upgrade to the newest version?

Currently I am running below versions and packages from linadd.org, on Linux
distro - Fedora Core 6.
- nagios-2.9-1.i586.rpm,
- nagios-web-2.9-1.i586.rpm,
- nagios-plugins-1.4.9-1.i586.rpm,
- nagios-plugins-extras-1.4.9-1.i586.rpm
- nagios-graph-1.6.1-rc3.i586.rpm


Thanks,
Palle

Which version of NagiosGrapher are you using? The file interface exists
only in the newest version.

Subject: service notifications sent to only host admins
Message-ID: <edab47ff0801030808tfafde5bl2b7ce98f19a3c04b@mail.gmail.com>

Let's say I have two hosts "alfa" and "bravo" and two separate contact
groups belonging to the hosts:

 define contactgroup {
   contactgroup_name alfa-admins
   members foo,bar
 }

 define contactgroup {
   contactgroup_name beta-admins
   members baz
 }

 define host {
   host_name alfa
   contact_groups alfa-admins
 }

 define host {
   host_name bravo
   contact_groups bravo-admins
 }

I'd like to define a service that's monitored on both hosts but
notifies only the contact groups belonging to the host.

 define service {
   service_description the_service
   check_command check_the_service
   host_name alfa,bravo
   contact_groups alfa,beta
 }

The example above would notify contact "baz" if the_service goes down
on "alfa". I don't want that. I know I could define two separate
services or define some custom script as the contact's
service_notification_command that filters out the messages that don't
"belong" to the contact but both of these solutions seem pretty ugly
to me. What's the preferred way to do this?

Thanks!

Gloria

It's not hard. Just use "make update". That should be enough ;-) Could

Yes!

That's why I recommend the new interface type. I prevents latencies (see
below).

NagiosGrapher takes care of this. No need for manuell actions.

Subject: Nortel switches
Message-ID: <C35BB445AA3EF34499C9E043A9594A08015460AC@MONROE.niag.com>

I have several Nortel Switches I would like to monitor with Nagios.
Some of them are in stacks of two to four switches.  I can get the
information from the first switch in the stack but I cannot figure out
how to monitor the other 1 to 3 switches in the stack.  Does anyone have
an idea? 

Our current service definition uses the following format:

 

define service{

       use                          generic-service

       host_name               Core

       service_description    Port 3 Link Status

       check_command       check_snmp!-C public -o ifOperStatus.3 -r 1
-m RFC1213-MIB

       }

Subject: best solution for configuration changes
Message-ID: <3c4611bc0801030926jf95c49dneeed3eb4e86ae498@mail.gmail.com>

I was thinking of some convoluted solution for users to configure "their"
configuration files and them diffed or uniqed to the original with that
being saved and then the newly updated config file to be copied over the old
one and nagios reloaded, etc., etc.. BUT, I figure there has to be a better
way. What I have for host config files are:

windows.cfg
net.cfg
resources.cfg
unix.cfg
security.cfg

Each of those host config files has a group of people associated with them -
and I'll need to break out the services.cfg file the same way.

I haven't added a user to the system either - and I'm not even sure what the
best way of doing that!

The end result of what ever I do allows, for instance, people in the
security group to modify /etc/nagios/security_hosts.cfg and
/etc/nagios/security_svcs.cfg, and the changes would be saved somewhere
(repository or log file or whatever), and then nagios service would be
reloaded.

Suggestions? Solutions? It'd be great if this could be done via a/the web
interface but I haven't found one that works that well yet - and I still am
not sure how to provide users with a login/pw that they can change upon the
next log on (obviously I'm not an expert linux admin)!

Revision Control?

Get Subversion.

Subject: check_by_ssh against localhost segfaults?
Message-ID: <54B7F7DBCA12D94CA3FE17B68F1461A70452D8A8@LVNJEVS205.UCCORG.org>

I'm trying to run check_by_ssh against my localhost (for consistency
purposes.)  I'm using forced command execution with ssh:

`cat /home/nagios/.ssh/authorized_keys2`
command="/home/nagios/bin/check_by_ssh.sh" ssh-dss AAAAB3N<snip>
nagios_check_by_ssh

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -i /etc/nagios2/keys/check_by_ssh
-l nagios -H localhost -C 'Disk_Space -m /root -w 15% -c 10%' -t 20

This check works fine (same authorized_keys, same script) on remote
hosts, but segfaults against localhost.

Localhost kernel: [5081242.311916] check_by_ssh[15109]: segfault at
0000000000000000 rip 00002b68aaa130f0 rsp 00007fff00450888 error 4

As the nagios user I run:
`ssh -v -i /etc/nagios2/keys/check_by_ssh localhost 'Disk_Space -m /root
-w 15% -c 10%'`

<snip>

debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.0
debug1: Exit status 0

The only difference is the output from check_by_ssh.sh on the remote
host (and an exit code.)  Since the check_by_ssh.sh (/home/nagios
actually) was rsynced from localhost to otherhost it seems it should be
ok.  If I export SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND and run check_by_ssh.sh on
localhost it works ok, so I don't think it's the script.

Nagios is reporting status as "(Return code of 139 is out of bounds)."
This is on Ubuntu 6.10, all versions of everything (ssh client, server,
nagios-plugins, etc.) are the same.

Any ideas, I'm kind of at a loss...

I've used subversion in the past and it worked well for what I was doing -
but that was all cron and script driven and there were plenty of examples to
"borrow" from. This needs to be user driven and I have not yet found any
examples to "borrow" from, which is why I'm asking the list.

You could also check out cfengine. Haven't had time for it myself though.

Subversion is a good idea, only caveat is that your users have to
learn to write Nagios configuration snippets.  I have used NagioSQL in
the past, it is decent :), the problem is that the GUIs I have used
for Nagios configuration generation do not make use of inheritence or
the other nice OO features of the Nagios configuration framework, it
can also be quite time consuming to massage your hand-designed Nagios
configuration into a format that can be imported into or ingested by
the Nagios GUIs (some come with import tools).

If you use Subversion, I recommend going with the web_dav module as
you can then limit who can access what part of your Nagios
configuration repository based on group membership; e.g.

nagios/
        etc/
            security-group/
            windows-group/

On the Nagios server side you could have a cron job that updated the
configs every N minutes or even a sub-version commit trigger that
would run a "nagios -v /path/nagios.cfg" check on your configuration
and either 1) restart Nagios if the configuration is good or 2) alert
you if someone has broken the configs.

You could even integrate Trac and get a nice project management
interface with ticketing capabilities to let people make requests for
configuration changes, one that lets you and any other monitoring team
members you have document your monitoring set up with the built in
Wiki and the graphviz plugin for diagrams, etc.

I'm watching this project, and have been for awhile, because I use both
Nagios and Cacti - but it has not yet hit the point of development that I'm
able to use it...the simple htaccess file is a part of the problem actually
- what's the mechanism for allowing users to change their own passwords, via
the web?! :)

It needs proper forms based authenticated, not .htaccess for that.

I still think that revision control configuration is quite important though.

So there you have 2 feature requests Stephen:

1. Forms based authentication
2. Revision Control. Perhaps some integration with Subversion underneath it?

Users can be administered at least as well as they are via Cacti - and hey,
why not use the same system for lilac, cacti AND nagios?!

But also, last time I tried fruity it only had room for the default
configuration files. I need to have individual config files for each user
group.

Absolutely, and as I expressed in my original e-mail, I was planning some
level of archiving, which is a MUST for allowing non-Nagios users to begin
editing configuration files.

It is, it explains a lot. I'll do some adjustments
and tests and report back to this thread.

...or, do the pre-flight check using a pre-commit hook, so that the 
broken configs never make it to the nagios server in the first place ;-)

Subject: HP Printers
Message-ID: <faf9425031c6.31c6faf94250@kent.edu>

List, 

  I want to start monitoring our network printers. I have Nagios 2.10
installed with 1.4.10 plugins. I have configured one printer to test
with and have it in nagios right now with just a ping service check. In
testing the check_hpjd plugin from the terminal it gave me an output of
("Ready       "). The documentation states that it will monitor for open
trays, low tonter, paper jams and things like that. Will the check_hpjd
alert on those issues automatically because the only options I see in it
are -H for hostname and -C community name? How do I go about checking
just for say low  toner?

You don't need to do anything, but this is one of those things that's
very easy to test yourself.  Try pulling out all the paper or yanking a
toner cartridge.

Subject: best solution for configuration changes
In-Reply-To: <3c4611bc0801030926jf95c49dneeed3eb4e86ae498@mail.gmail.com>
References: <3c4611bc0801030926jf95c49dneeed3eb4e86ae498@mail.gmail.com>

I'd like to suggest a completely different approach - again with the plugin 
check_multi (http://my-plugin.de/check_multi) which I yesterday introduced in 
another context. ;-)

Take the following scenario: you have a parent check_multi service for each 
region (user/admin/organisational) you want to serve and it is configured 
within nagios by you - this is the fix frame.

Now the flexible part - the plugin configuration. Multiple child plugins are 
configured in a plain ASCII file like the following:

# group1.cmd
command [ proc1 ] = check_procs -C abc ...
command [ disk1 ] = check_disk -w ...
command [ load  ] = check_load ...
...

This command file is easy to understand, to change and to test (on the command 
line). There has nothing to be changed in Nagios, no need to run any further 
'nagios -v' check. So you can delegate this job to your users.

If the users do anything wrong with it, they only earn an error message (which 
is shown in Nagios parent plugin output) and at worst a CRITICAL state for 
their parent service. But Nagios remains sane and integer.
These check_multi configs can be maintained by SVN, and security is based on 
standard Unix access control.

The only disadvantage: all child checks only have one parent. This means only 
one notification, escalation logics a.s.o. If you want to split this, take a 
second service.
And another point: it's more or less Nagios3 stuff because it extensively uses 
multiline output.

Greetz,
Matthias

I believe most people use procmail and submit external commands through
procmail rules.

Likewise here.  Those gaps were driving me crazy, and switching the
interface to "file" made them go away (and made our clients happier).

Thank you very much, Gerd.

Here, we use weathermap -- http://www.network-weathermap.com/ -- which
can take data feeds from MRTG and Nagios as well as from Cacti.  I have
a home-grown remote editor 'weatherman' available from
http://www.steveshipway.org/software/weathermap-3.5.zip (perl/Tcl for
windows/linux/mac/etc) which is easier to use than the supplied one.
This lets us have custom designed maps with nodes that link to MRTG
graphs, Nagios status pages, or other maps, and change colour based on
Nagios status while the links change colour based on MRTG traffic flow.

 

Since I wrote the initial Nagios data plugin for Weathermap, let me know
if you try it out and have any problems obtaining it or getting it to
work.

 

Steve

Nagios is a wonderful tool but it's status map is not the prettiest. Any
tool out there that I can integrate with nagios to produce nice maps. I
will love something that I can use to create multiple maps that are all
connected to a general map?

Hi all,
 
I have just installed Nagios 3.0rc1 into a Solaris 10 machine. Everything is working fine except when i tried to do a check_nrpe on a remote host or localhost. I check my /var/adm/messages. Below is a section of the output:

This will repeat every few minutes and will not occur when i remove the nrpe service monitoring from the configuration. 
I tried to do a /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H pnsgsit1gw2 -c check_load, The output seems fine except there is some addition characters appended to end. 
OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00|load1=0.000;15.000;30.000;0; load5=0.000;10.000;25.000;0; load15=0.000;5.000;20.000;0;???p?:
Below is my host configuration:
define host{        use     linux-server        host_name pnsgsit1gw2 ; The name we're giving to this server        alias pnsgsit1gw2 ; A longer name for the server        address 10.106.127.106 ; IP address of the server}
define service{        use                             local-service        host_name                       pnsgsit1gw2        service_description             NRPE        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_load}
define service{        use                             local-service         ; Name of service template to use        host_name                       pnsgsit1gw2        service_description             HTTP        check_command                   check_http        notifications_enabled           0        }
 
 
Anyone has any ideas of what could be the problem?
 
Thanks

Subject: check_hpasm error
Message-ID: <20080104081709.04D8458004B@desire.netways.de>

Hi list

I try to use the check_hpasm plugin on the RH 5.0 Linux box running Nagios.

I get the following error : "UNKNOWN - insufficient rights to call sudo /sbin/hpasmcli "

* Content of etc/commands.cfg :

# 'check_hpasm' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_hpasm
        command_line    $USER1$/check_hpasm -v
        }

* Content of etc/hostslinux.cfg :

define service {
host_name miysis
use template-services
service_description HP Hardware
check_command check_hpasm
}

* Content of /etc/sudoers :

nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/hpasmcli, /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli, /sbin/hplog, /usr/sbin/hpacucli, /opt/compaq/acucli

Do you have any hint ?

Many thanks,

- PO Michel (misterpo)

Actually, i got exactly the same problem on my systems. Could you have a 
look to your "/opt/compaq"-directory and check its permissions? Unter 
normal conditions, nagios user will not be allowed to go there, 
permissions are set to 750 on my machine. So, without being able to read 
it, the nagios users cannot execute /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli.

I was not willing to change the permissions on all my machines, so i 
circumvented it by calling the check_hpasm-script directly via sudo:


nrpe.cfg:

command[check-hpasm]=sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hpasm -b $ARG1$

sudoers:
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD:[...],/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hpasm


Maybe this helps? :-)

Hi Marcus				

Thanks a lot for your quick and precious help.

My purpose is also to make check_hpasm work through NRPE.

But I get an "NRPE. Unable to read output" message.

Here is my services.cfg file :

define service {
host_name miysis
use template-services
service_description HP Hardware
check_command check_nrpe!check_hpasm
}

nrpe.cfg is :

command[check_hpasm]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v

Subject: check_hparray Error
Message-ID: <20080104092358.0EF9758004B@desire.netways.de>

Hi list

I try to use the check_hparray plugin through NRPE on the RHEL 5.0 Linux box running Nagios.

I get the following error message : "check_hparray Error."

Here are my config files :

* /etc/sudoers

nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/hpasmcli, /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli, /sbin/hplog, /usr/sbin/hpacucli, /opt/compaq/acucli

* etc/nrpe.cfg :

command[check_hparray_slot1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hparray -s 1

* etc/services.cfg :

define service {
host_name miysis
use template-services
service_description HP Raid Array 1
check_command check_nrpe!check_hparray_slot1
}

Anything wrong in my config files ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi,

can you please login as the nagios user on host miysis and execute
sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help

If you are asked for a password there, then maybe your sudo-configuration
only allows you to call the bare command without any additional command line
options. 
man sudoers says:
       A simple filename allows
       the user to run the command with any arguments he/she
       wishes.  However, you may also specify command line argu?
       ments (including wildcards).  Alternately, you can specify
       "" to indicate that the command may only be run without
       command line arguments. 
Maybe something like that is the reason.

Does /sbin/hpasmcli exist? Is it a link?
What about /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli? Does it run if you call
sudo /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli -s help

The "NRPE. Unable to read output" is typical for such siturations where a
plugin's only output is a "password:". You need to fix the sudo-problem
first.
Another thing is the -v option. This is only for debugging if you call the
plugin as standalone. With -v it outputs some lines of text and nagios will
show the first one ("checking hpasmd process") instead of the last one with
the summary.

Greetings from Munich,
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard
				
Thanks a lot for you reply.

Yes, the sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help works run as nagios. I get the following output :

CLEAR  DISABLE  ENABLE  EXIT  HELP  QUIT  SET  SHOW

/sbin/hpasmcli is a link to /opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli which has appropriate Linux rights.

I don't really feel comfortable with this sudoers functionality. I have treied to add wildcards like the following :

nagios ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/hpasmcli, /opt/compaq/utils/*, /sbin/hplog, /usr/sbin/hpacucli, /opt/compaq/acucli

without success.

Do you think Nagios should run on another distro than RedHat 5.0 ?  
It is possible for me to make it run on Debian Etch...

That's perfect so far. I think you even don't need the sudoers entry for
/opt/compaq/utils/hpasmcli any more.
What's the output if you call
check_hpasm -v
as the nagios user on miysis?

> Do you think Nagios should run on another distro than RedHat 5.0 ?  
No, the ability to run hpasmcli with sudo should be sufficient.

I have already tried that and it works. Do you think that running NRPE under xinetd could raise problems ?

Did you bother to look at http://www.nagiosexchange.org? Or even type 
something like 'nagios netapp' in google? It gives millions of hits....

Hi Gerhard				

Should I uncomment the commad_prefix option in the nrpe.cfg config file ?

For the time being it is not used and my other NRPE checks (Disk, CPU, Swap) work...

 Hi Michel,

you would do that, if you want to run _all_ of your commands with sudo,
which is a crazy thing to do under normal circumstances. Another usage may
be something like 
command_prefix=PATH="$PATH:/some/special/path/to/nagios"

> For the time being it is not used and my other NRPE checks 
> (Disk, CPU, Swap) work...
Then you have absolutely no reason to change that. Adding sudo only to the
commands which really need it like
command[check_hpasm]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm
and nowhere else is a good solution and doesn't bloat your sudoers file.

Anyone aware of a how-to on this? I'd need to be able to adapt lotus notes to do the necessary.

I believe most people use procmail and submit external commands through procmail rules.

We use email to send all our alerts out, whether it goes to our phones over SMS or to our emails.  Is there a script or an addon, that I can have
nagios monitor the email box that sends out the alerts to watch for replies and ACK alerts based upon a reply?

Hi Gerhard				

I cannot get things to work. I currently have :

nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/hpasmcli, /opt/compaq/utils/*, /sbin/hplog, /usr/sbin/hpacucli, /opt/compaq/acucli, /usr/local/nagios/libexec/*

in my /etc/sudoers file.

What can I try more ? I would really like to convince my management that Nagios is the tool that we need but I am little bit afraid of the time you have to spend to configure it :-)

I think the easiest solution would be to have Lotus Notes forward mail
for nagios at somewhere.com (or whatever from address you use) to
nagios at nagios.somewhere.com and run procmail on the nagios server.

Is this compatible with your setup?  I don't really know much about
Notes, but I assume it's not running it on the nagios box.

:-) Yes, many thanks to Peter Tuschy, who wrote this patch.

BTW: Today we put a "current" release on NagiosExchange. Hopefully this
will be the next stable release. Zooming of graphs is the newest feature
in this version.

Cheers,
Gerd

I'm not sure how this fits in with my need to allow my users to ADD and
DELETE and MODIFY the devices defined in Nagios which THEY are responsible
for (I'm with the Network and Sun teams, I don't want to manage the Windows
servers or the security teams' devices).

And right now another add-on I'd like is a WYSIWIG map configuration tool so
I can layout the 2d map with a mouse! BUT, that's another thread.

Might have to look into what 3.0 will get us, as I'm sure its worth the
money regardless but I'm trying right now to sell the company on the value
of opensource. :)

Hi again,

try to explicitly name your sudo-commands.
Name the entry "/usr/local/libexec/check_hpasm *", that should allow 
your nagios user to run the command with any option without asking for a 
password.


Regards,

Marcus Fleige

It's the procmail part that will be the political hot potato. Thou Shalt Have No Other Email Platform Before Me is the edict from on high, regarding
notes. Not withstanding that the nagios server has to have a mailing agent of some sort to work of course.

I'll see what I can squeak past the powers that be.

I think the easiest solution would be to have Lotus Notes forward mail
for nagios at somewhere.com (or whatever from address you use) to
nagios at nagios.somewhere.com and run procmail on the nagios server.

Is this compatible with your setup?  I don't really know much about
Notes, but I assume it's not running it on the nagios box.

Hi Michel,
Hi Marcus ;-)

now i see what's wrong here:

in your sudoers you allow the nagios-user to execute /sbin/hpasmcli with
sudo
but according to the nrpe.cfg
command[check_hpasm]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm 
you actually try to execute /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm with sudo.

Inside the check_hpasm i have some code which decides wether to execute
"/sbin/hpasmcli" or "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli". This depends on the uid under
which the plugin was started.

You have two possibilities:
1. 
- Stay with the current sudoers configuration which works 
  ("....Yes, the sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help works run as 
   nagios. I get the following output....")
- Tell NRPE to run check_hpasm as the nagios user:
  command[check_hpasm]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm

  The check_hpasm would detect that it runs under a 
  non-root uid and will call  sudo /sbin/hpasmcli ...

2. 
- Add /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm to the list of 
  privileged commands in /etc/sudoers and keep your nrpe.cfg

I would recommend Nr.1


> little bit afraid of the time you have to spend to configure it :-)
If i can help convincing a management to accept Nagios, then it was worth
it.

Gerhard

I tried it and it works alright in the sense that the graphs
gets created, but unfortunately the graph icons shows up with
the red border and no graph. Clicking on it does however take
me to a good grahp, as per usual.

Also, the zoom function your talking about, where do I find it?

First, i need express my excuses becouse my level of knowledge of english is very low.

Now, i'm writing a new plugin for get the bandwith used in a sample time,
the program run fine but i cant make then the nagios read the result
correctly.

the help of my program is this:

************************
**Check BandWidth 0.01**
************************

Usage:

check_bw -t <numeric_value> -wu <numeric_value> -wd <numeric_value> -cu
<numeric_value> -cd <numeric_value> -if <network_interface>

Donde:
        -t      Time of the sample
        -wu     Minimal Value of up Bandwidth used for a Warning
        -wd     Minimal Value of Down Bandwidth used for a Warning 
        -cu     Minimal Value of up Bandwidth used for a Critical
        -cd     Minimal Value of up Bandwidth used for a Critical
        -if     Name of Network Interface.

In what format i need print the output?

Your plugin should have a proper exit code

    0 - ok
    1 - warning
    2 - critical
    3 - unknown

This is the main information, nagios uses. All the rest is just for
prosaic purposes :-)

To STDOUT you can write anything you want, it appears in the status
detail: 

    "OK - current bw: 17Mbit/s"

In case you want to enable some extended monitoring
(performance), you may output the performance data:

    "OK - current bw: 17Mbit/s|in:12 out:22"

There doesn't seem to be consens about the line end (at least I saw
plugins writing a new line and other don't.

BTW: I've written a shell based traffic checker - sampling over
the period it's called again. If you're interested - just for curiosity
- drop me a note :)

fetchmail might do the job for you. Because of a particular
arrangement of our mail server, I was unable to use procmail for a
similar purpose (not nagios but email front-end for rt). It depends on
whether notes is willing to speak to a client with a protocol that
fetchmail knows. (POP worked for me, not sure what notes likes.) Added
advantages over procmail - definitely simpler, probably consumes fewer
resources, possibly easier to keep secure (especially due to the
complexity issue).

I am unfamiliar with notes, doesn't it have some sort of native
pre-processing available?

Subject: Trouble with Global event handlers in Nag 3 (b7).
	[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
In-Reply-To: <mailman.501.1199477826.24082.nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net>

Dear Folks,

I am writing to ask for help with global event handlers in Nagios 3.0
(b7).

The handler that worked Ok with Nag 2.9 seems to work erratically (ie
only some of the time; more often than not it doesn't do anything) with
3.0.

Nag would log (in nagios.log) this message with 2.9

[1186030923] GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
Wollongong;DOWN;HARD;10;global_host_event_handler
[1186031313] GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
Wollongong;UP;HARD;1;global_host_event_handler

but with 3.0b7 these,

[1199420252] GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
Sydney-backup;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler
[1199423092] GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
Sydney-backup;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler

but the definition of the handler command has not changed,

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

It is wonderful to see that the 3.x series has debug level, and type in
nagios.cfg, but I can't see what is useful with this problem. 

I think the event broker should be what I want even though I have no
event broker module in use.
When I try it I see a lot of messages about callbacks (which I didn't
know I had).

Any advice will be very welcome. Please point me to the FM if this is a
change from 2.x that I haven't noticed.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

Dear Folks,

In sehandlers.c I see

   if(log_event_handlers==TRUE)
        logit(NSLOG_EVENT_HANDLER,FALSE,"GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
%s;%s;%s;%s;%s\n",hst->name,macro_x[MACRO_HOSTSTATE],macro_x[MACRO_HOSTS
TATETYPE],macro_x[MACRO_HOSTATTEMPT],global_host_event_handler);

which suggests that if the macro_x[FOO] vals are NULL, I will see what I
do in the nagios.log

[1199423092] GLOBAL HOST EVENT HANDLER:
Sydney-backup;(null);(null);(null);global_host_event_handler

Why on earth should the macros be undefined ?

The DEBUG statements look good but how do I enable debug for event
handlers ?

Yours sincerely.

I use gnokii. Modem is a Telular GSM SX5D

/etc/gnokiirc looks like this

[global]
port = /dev/ttyS0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]
[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off



Notify command for service notifications looks like this

echo -e "<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >>
/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1

For host notifications this does the job

echo -e "<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log
2>&1

Dear Folks,

The debug options in Nag 3.x are wonderful (especially for embedded
Perl. It is no longer necessary to enable debugging in p1.pl. This Is a
MASSIVE simply MASSIVE improvement. Thank you).

(FWIW the debug options for event handlers in nagios.cfg are

debug_level=16



# DEBUG VERBOSITY
# This option determines how verbose the debug log out will be.
# Values: 0 = Brief output
#         1 = More detailed
#         2 = Very detailed

debug_verbosity=2

)

The debug file then shows the event handler being called with all the
args

So the event handler is called correctly; there is ZERO likelihood of
the failure to get the handler results being the fault of Nagios 3 (it
is the fault of MY event handler).

On the other hand

1 why does the log entry not show the event handler args apart from
$HOSTNAME$

2 why does debug not show the return code of the handler

3 why does the debug not show the ePN processing (as it does very well
with service checks)
  of the event handler 

4 why does the debug output showing the 'Expanded Command Output:' not
show the macro values 

?

Your comments are very welcome.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.

Hi list

I have to monitor the Signal to Noise Relationship in an antena... I thougth
in using check_snmp but in this case the warning thresholds and the critical
theshold  should have diferent meaning.. the device will be in a warning
state if the device is below the warning threshold and in a critical state
if the device is below the critical threshold...
This could be posible?

Thanks

Are you sure about the performance data format? <label>:<value> looks more
like Cacti-format.
According to the developer guidelines' proposal
'label'=value[UOM];[warn];[crit];[min];[max] it would be
in=12 out=22

Greetings from Munich,

Yes, just set your warning and critical ranges appropriately.

in the future am thinking of a good enhancements of SMS (gnokii or smstools)
to be 2 way communications, i.e. so the server can be controled via mobile
phone.
if a server/service goes down, you can reply to the
alert SMS message with a reboot command or start an application,
to fix a service as long the server reachable and the signal can get to the
server.

What do you think ?

Thanks Dennis and Peter for you inputs ... i have downloaded smstools
started with the configuration.....

I use gnokii. Modem is a Telular GSM SX5D 

/etc/gnokiirc looks like this 

[global] 
port = /dev/ttyS0 
model = AT 
initlength = default 
connection = serial 
use_locking = yes 
serial_baudrate = 19200 
smsc_timeout = 10 
[gnokiid] 
bindir = /usr/sbin/ 
[connect_script] 
TELEPHONE = 12345678 
[disconnect_script] 
[logging] 
debug = on 
rlpdebug = off 
xdebug = off 



Notify command for service notifications looks like this 

echo -e "<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$" 
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> 
/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1 

For host notifications this does the job 

echo -e "<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$" 
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log 
2>&1

Actually, smstools allow you to interact with any application. You can send a message back and execute any command, it?s just a matter of configuration. And keep in mind the security issues.

I'm trying to monitor an internal webserver that run's on port 8888. I have
this setup in my minimal.cfg file. It's commented out because it gives me an
error that it can't connect.

#define service{
#        use                             generic-service         ; Name of
service template to use
#        host_name                       hrms
#        service_description             HTTP
#        is_volatile                     0
#        check_period                    24x7
#        max_check_attempts              4
#        normal_check_interval           2
#        retry_check_interval            1
#        contact_groups                  stg-admins
#        notification_options            c,r
#        notification_interval           960
#       notification_period             24x7
#        check_command                   check_http_8888
#        }


I also have this in my checkcommands.cfg file

# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http_8888
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http_8888 -H $HOSTADDRESS$
        }

It's right below my normal check_http lines.


Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

Thanks

John

Hi John,

Usage: check_http -H <vhost> | -I <IP-address> [-u <uri>] [-p <port>]
       [-w <warn time>] [-c <critical time>] [-t <timeout>] [-L]
       [-a auth] [-f <ok | warn | critcal | follow>] [-e <expect>]
       [-s string] [-l] [-r <regex> | -R <case-insensitive regex>] [-P string]
       [-m <min_pg_size>:<max_pg_size>] [-4|-6] [-N] [-M <age>] [-A string]
       [-k string] [-S] [-C <age>] [-T <content-type>]

You are just missing

-p 8888

from your command definition :)

I find the following to be more flexible and as yet haven't run into any
issues although it's possible the spaces in $ARG1$ could cause problems
with some checks

check_command          check_http_custom!-p 8888


define command{
  command_name          check_http_custom
  command_line          $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

The advantage of this is that you can add other variables without having
to add another command definition i.e

check_http_custom!-p 8888 -e HTTP/1.0

It's always a balancing act to find the right combination of
flexibility vs. readability for Nagios configurations.  For larger
groups I tend towards readability and establishing Nagios
configuration coding standards so that multiple authors can work
together and easily understand each others' configurations (like you
would do on a software development team), for times when I am *the*
only user of Nagios I might tend more towards the flexibility of what
you have done below.

Subject: Check_nrpe results in nagios core dump
Message-ID: <BAY117-W127DC9F3173AB1AF97394FBF4F0@phx.gbl>



Hi all,
 
I tried to do a /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_swap on the localhost with both my nagios and nrpe running fine on a Solaris 10 machine. The output seems fine except there is some addition characters appended to end. 
 
root:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects>/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_swap
SWAP OK - 100% free (4099 MB out of 4099 MB) |swap=4099MB;819;409;0;4099
?@??
 
I am using nagios3.0-rc1 and NRPE 2.9
 
Is this some bug? It seems to be crashing my nagios in Solaris 10
 
 
Thanks
 
Regards,
Kelvin Xu

I believe you can get net-snmp to execute an arbitrary program, so you 
could use a plugin from NagiosExchange.org and assign it to an OID and 
then call that OID to execute it. I believe you'd then need to query 
another 2 OIDs for result and output of that action, although this is 
off the top of my head....

Just out of curiosity, why use snmp instead of nrpe?

Hi Gerhard				

Thanks a lot for your support. I have tried both and I get :

- With solution Nb1 : UNKNOWN - insufficient rights to call sudo /sbin/hpasmcli 

- With solution Nb 2 : NRPE: Unable to read output

SELinux is disabled on my box. Maybe there is something wrong with the way I installed nagios ? My (very basic) installation options are the following :

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-cgiurl=http://nagios/cgi-bin --with
-htmurl=http://nagios --with-command-group=nagcmd

The cgi in question is statusmap.cgi

Example output:

[root at hostname sbin]# ldd statusmap.cgi
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x008b5000)
        libgd.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgd.so.2 (0x00110000)
        libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x007ae000)
        libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x0732d000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00a53000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x009a5000)

        libexpat.so.0 => /lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x00bd7000)

Your ./configure output when compiling Nagios might be more helpful. If
statusmap.cgi is not generated then it's likely that you are missing one
of the required libraries.

Subject: NRPE Authentication/Authorization?? DEVS PLEASE
	READ
Message-ID: <47822EEA.3080807@googlemail.com>

Hi,

   Recent expanded usage of my NRPE daemons has gotten me thinking about 
better authentication and authorization.

It seems that NRPE is quite lacking in authentication (there is none!). 
Most of us work around this deficiency by wrapping it xinetd to restrict 
IP addresses to the monitoring server(s) (at least I do). However this 
does not really solve anything. There are two problems with even just IP 
limiting NRPE calls. Firstly, IP Spoofing. Secondly, what if there is 
more than 1 user account on a server? Any user or developer who has an 
account on any IP authorized machine can issue NRPE calls to any server 
running NRPE.

This is a real problem if you want to use NRPE to issue remote restarts 
or take any remedial action that you want to control. Even just the data 
leakage issue can be quite serious.

So...

Is there any chance we can have authentication added to NRPE like we do 
with NSCA where you must have at the very least a shared secret?

Going one step further, is it possible to have separate credentials 
limited to separate calls? This would be most helpful for event 
handlers... or for different monitoring servers or user accounts.


Thanks

Subject: Log rotation problem
Message-ID: <478245D7.6080808@s2grupo.es>

Hi all,

I?m having problems with log rotation. My nagios version is 2.5 and the 
rotation method is daily. The problem i that suddenly the content of the 
rotated logs is the timestamp of the 00:00 and only the current state, 
and the rest of data don?t appear.

Data at nagios.log file is correct but when it doesn?t rotate well...

How can I fix/follow this problem?

I would like not to recompile nagios in debug mode because it?s a 
production system.

Please, tell me if you need more information about this problem and how 
can I get it...


Thanks.

Hi list, 

I'm using Nagios 3.0RC1.
I'm using the latest check_cluster plugin in order to implement cluster
logic into Nagios.
I'm monitoring clustered hosts and NOT services. 
The whole thing seems to work correct but when the clusterhost is in a
warning state, it is still displayed in GREEN, while that should be YELLOW
not? 
When the cluster check is critical, Nagios displays the host status RED,
which is OK. 

Here's the verbose output of the plugin. 

check_cluster - Warning: start=1 end=1: Critical: start=2 end=2 CLUSTER
WARNING: Host Cluster: 1 up, 1 down, 0 unreachable 

Am I missing something? 

Cheers, and thanks in advance.

Message-ID: <21d7483eaaf44cfdee07eabfee035438@10.9.8.1>

Hi List,

I'm using Nagios 3.0RC1.

My config files are stored into different directories which are loaded
recursively by Nagios on startup.
Regularly all my hosts get the well known and documented error: 

"Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing"

I can be working for 5 hours without this error, and when I add a host or
change 1 line somewhere in a config file, suddenly all checks return this
error.

The strange thing is that when I remove for example an empty line out of a
random config file, add it again, save the config file and restart Nagios,
the errors disappear and everything works again as it should be.

It's quite annoying, and it's difficult to troubleshoot this since I can't
always reproduce the problem.

Anyone has encountered this?

Thanks,

Js

Sounds like a web interface problem.  Keep in mind that 3.0 is still  
not a release.

Intermittent odd behavior like this is usually the result of having
multiple nagios daemons running at the same time. I'm not aware of any
changes that would prevent that from happening with nagios-3.x.

When run from the command line, what is the plugin's exit code (echo
$?)? It should be 2 for a WARNING state. The exit code is what nagios
uses to determine the actual state, not the text output. If it's not 2,
then the problem lies with check_cluster. If it is 2, then it may be a
nagios bug.

I think the issue is that hosts show green when UP and red when DOWN.
Hosts do not have a WARNING state.

It is only services which have a meaningful view of WARNING when they do
display yellow.

I agree with Mathew.
Return code of 1 results in WARNING on service checks but results in UP 
for host checks.

Currently, I can't space the logos far enough away from each other for
the labels not to be overriding other logos!

Hi,

please login at miysis as the user, who runs the nrpe daemon.

call "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help"
Does this work without password?

call /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v
What's the output?

If it works so far, 
logout and login at your Nagios server.

call "check_nrpe -t 60 -H miysis -c check_hpasm"
What's the output?

Gerhard

p.s. do you have the line
command[check_hpasm]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm
in your nrpe.cfg and was the nrpe daemon recently restarted?

Net-snmp has the potential to run commands and return their exit code
or output.

See http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html regarding
the exec and extend directives.

You could script a RAID check and then query that OID via check_snmp,
just be sure to lock your OID in the extend directive.

Instead of check_cluster you can try check_multi 
(http://my-plugin.de/check_multi) with the following command file:

# cluster.cmd with host checks
command [ host1 ]  = check_icmp -H host1
command [ host2 ]  = check_icmp -H host2
state [ WARNING ]  = host1 != OK || host2 != OK
state [ CRITICAL ] = host1 != OK && host2 != OK


Greetz,

Hi All,

I am running Nagios 1.4 on  Debian.
Everything was running fine. I guess one of our admins did a update on 
some packages, and now I get the following error.

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

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

I have all the permissions to log on. htaccess is right, cgi.cfg and 
nagios.cfg are right. Let me know where might be the problem.

Thanks,

Sudheer Muddappa

Subject: Nagios Configuration Parent/Child hosts
Message-ID: <BB553E43C7DF834FAA5AD4AA78B72E541B23AF@mail2.sd.defenseweb.net>

We have Nagios running its checks just fine.  What have a mix network of
Windows and UNIX Servers.  We have a windows server running NRPE_NT
which we run all our WMI Checks from for each of the windows hosts.  We
send our checks to this host it submits a WMI Query to the correct host
then sends back the response.  This is working just find with out any
problems.  We had a problem last week where the NRPE_NT service stopped
accepting checks and started a ping flood.  That is the background and
here is my question.  Can we resolve this making this Server running
NRPE_NT the parent of all our windows service checks?  What we would
like to do is if a service goes down it then runs the check on the
parent to see if it is up.  If the parent is not up then it suppresses
all the alerts for all childs to the parent server.  Is this possible, I
have tried a couple of configurations but have not been able to get this
to work.

Thank you,
Jeff

Subject: plugin check_disk fails on Solaris 10 on 16 Terabyte
 volume (with research into issue)
Message-ID: <47829136.4040103@istreamimaging.com>

Hello,

    This is my first post to this list.  I was unable to find any 
previous mention of an issue like this, nor was I able to find a better 
place to submit this (bug report?) to.  I'm not a Solaris expert (I am 
pretty good with Linux and BSD though - including writing low-level 
system code).  It is entirely possible that I'm off my rocker and that I 
somehow and at fault.. but I doubt it :)

    The server in question is a Sun x4600 ("thumper").  It is a 64 bit 
AMD server running Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) [1].  The system has a few 
small volumes and one HUGE 16TiB volume (in a zpool).  This ZFS volume 
is exported as several volumes over NFS.

    Nagios was installed following the instructions on terdmonk's web 
site [2].  Nagios itself runs on a remote Gentoo Linux box.  I use nrpe 
on the Solaris box to execute the plugins.  I have ruled out nrpe as the 
source of the problem.  I think that the problem is in the plugin's 
(check_disk) call to "statvfs".

    First, the interesting output of "df" (full output at [3]):

(thumper: 14:35:10 </>) 0 # df -h | egrep "^(\/dev\/.*|swap|zpool1) "
/dev/md/dsk/d10         11G   5.6G   4.8G    54%    /
swap                   2.2G   752K   2.2G     1%    /etc/svc/volatile
/dev/md/dsk/d30        5.8G   1.1G   4.7G    19%    /var
swap                   2.2G    32K   2.2G     1%    /var/run
zpool1                  17T    57G    16T     1%    /zpool1

   Now the output of "/opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_disk):

(thumper: 14:06:26 </>) 0 # /opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_disk 
-w 20% -c 10% -p /

-w 20% -c 10% -p /zpool1/

   And the tail-end of the system traces of "check_disk":

(thumper: 14:38:23 </>) 258 # truss

 From the man page on "statvfs" on Solaris 10:

ERRORS
     The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions will fail if:

     EOVERFLOW               One of the  values  to  be  returned
                             cannot  be  represented correctly in
                             the structure pointed to by buf.


yuck.  But, at the bottom of the man page:

USAGE
     The statvfs() and  fstatvfs()  functions  have  transitional
     interfaces for 64-bit file offsets.  See lf64(5).


Inside the man page of "lf64":
  <sys/statvfs.h>
     struct statvfs                struct statvfs64
        fsblkcnt_t f_blocks;          fsblkcnt64_t f_blocks;
        fsblkcnt_t f_bfree;           fsblkcnt64_t f_bfree;
        fsblkcnt_t f_bavial;          fsblkcnt64_t f_bavial;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_files;          fsfilcnt64_t  f_files;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_ffree;          fsfilcnt64_t  f_ffree;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_favail;         fsfilcnt64_t  f_favail;


So, it looks like there is a solution.  The actual code is in 
"nagios-plugins-VERSION/gl/fsusage.c".

But what I don't know how to do is suggest the solution to the 
appropriate party(ies).  Hence this post.

If I did make a code change, who would I send it to?

You might have better luck getting an answer if you use

I'm not a developer but it looks like good detective work. Plugin
development is a separate project. If they don't pick it up here (they
probably won't), try nagiosplug-devel at
http://nagiosplugins.org/mailinglists.

Hi All,

I am running Nagios 1.4 on  Debian.
Everything was running fine. I guess one of our admins did a update on 
some packages, and now I get the following error.

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

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

I have all the permissions to log on. htaccess is right, cgi.cfg and 
nagios.cfg are right. Let me know where might be the problem.

Thanks,

Firstly, please don't be lazy in posting. Don't forward messages to the
list as mime-attachments and make people work harder to respond. You're
less likely to get help.

Second: what exactly is the issue you're trying to resolve. From your
previous postings, you're developing this plugin on your own but nagios
"isn't reading the result correctly" (paraphrased). In what way is it
not reading the results correctly? It looks like you're following the
guidelines. Are you exiting with an exit code of 2? What's nagios
showing/doing exactly?

That is entirely possible.  It's what we do for all of our NRPE-based
checks.  If the NRPE daemon is unresponsive on any given server we just
get the one alarm for "NRPE_Alive" instead of multiple alarms for all
the checks that depend on NRPE.

Instead of making the *server* the parent, make the NRPE_NT *service* on
that server the parent of all NRPE_NT-based service checks that happen
through it.

What packages?

Does nagios show you logged in as the user you expect to be logged in
as? This is a key factor. I believe it is shown in the upper left of the
status window even if the error above is shown.

Guess we'll be taking your word on that. Apache configuration seems like
a logical place to look otherwise. I'd suggest going through the
Configuring Authorization for the CGI's documentation again to verify
that everything is as it should be, including Apache configuration. I'd
also suggest looking in the apache error_log to see if there's anything
interesting there.

You'll be interested in the contact{} and contactgroup{} definitions.
They're typically found in a contacts.cfg file but the name can be
arbitrary.

This page should provide you with enough background --

hi


I have this problem, is the same that tu.bijit(at)gmail.com

I tried the following with check_mysqld.pl plugin being the Nagios
user. Following is the output

[nagios(at)RHEL5 ~]$ cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
[nagios(at)RHEL5 libexec]$ ./check_mysqld.pl -H localhost -u root -p root
MYSQL 5.0.22 OK


>From the output, it seems the plugin working fine from the command line.

But still, i get error from web interface of Nagios (i.e
http://localhost/nagios), it is showing the following;

MYSQLD CRITICAL 09-01-2007 00:05:53 0d 22h 44m 16s 4/4 (No output!)


I believe, I have missed something while configuring the same for the
Web Interface.

Could you please help!

What you are saying is to use service dependencies instead of
parent/client hosts.  I could do this it's just a lot of configuration
and I was trying to see if we could do it with the parent/client host
configuration.

Is that what you are saying to setup is to depend all the checks to the
one NRPE_NT service?

Thank you,
Jeff

Try adding '2>&1' to the end of your command{} definition to see what
the true error is

$USER1$/check_mysqld.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u root -p root 2>&1

Also, when asking about non-standard plugins, it's useful to detail
where you got the plugin so others know the specific check_mysqld.pl
you're using.

Yes, that's correct.  The only way parent/client host configuration will
work is if you configure nagios to evaluate the *host* state of your
NRPE_NT server based solely on the status of the NRPE_NT service running
on it.  Of course, that also would affect services on the child servers
that don't use NRPE_NT at all.

In other words, your host-check for your NRPE_NT server would have to
solely evaluate whether the NRPE_NT service is running on that server in
order to accomplish what you want.  However, that would also cause, say,
an ICMP check of a child server to show as being "down" due to the
NRPE_NT parent host being "down", even though it has nothing to do with
the ability of your nagios server to make an ICMP request and get a
reply...which may not be what you want.

The best solution AFAIK is service-based.

I think that's right.  I'm sure some helpful soul will chime in and
correct me if not :)

That's a good sign. Is nagiosadmin listed in a contactgroup for the
hosts/services _or_ specified as authorized_for_all_services and
authorized_for_all_hosts in cgi.cfg? Is main_config_file specified
correctly in cgi.cfg? use_authentication=1 is set in cgi.cfg? Do you
have success if you set that to 0 (disabling authentication)?

Your plugin must end with 'exit(2)' in that case. Does it? The exit code
is the only thing nagios looks at to know status.

Hi Gerd				

Hi Gerd

I'm struggling with the "undocumented" interface-file feature.  I have the same gaps problem.  I've implemented your suggestions, but I'm confused about how the data get's converted into rrd's.

with the pipe's version my command.cfg contained
define command{
      command_name    process-service-perfdata
      command_line    /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/contrib/fifo_write.pl  /var/log/nagios/rw/ngraph.pipe '$HOSTNAME$      $SERVICEDESC$   $SERVICEOUTPUT$ $SERVICEPERFDATA$' 3
      }
This passed the data into the pipe where the collect2.pl was watching and converted the data in rrd's

with the file version, I removed that definition and replaced it with:

define command{
       command_name process-service-perfdata-file
       command_line mv /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata.$TIMET$
       }

Now Nagios sends the data to service-prefdata, which is mv'd to a timestamped file periodically.

How is the data supposed to get converted into rrd's now?  How does the collect2.pl daemon know when to process the files?  As it is now, no rrd files are generated.  collect2.pl is running, nagios is sending the data to /dev/shm/service-perfdata and then they are moved to /dev/shm/service-perfdata.<stamp>.  

my fifo version worked, it just had gaps.


thanks for your help

As it is now, no rrd files are generated.  collect2.pl is running, nagios is sending the data to /dev/shm/service-perfdata and then they are moved to /dev/shm/service-perfdata.<stamp>.

The collect2.pl picks up the timestamped files,
processes them and deletes them. Provided that
the NagiosGrapher configuration file, i.e
/etc/nagios/ngraph.ncfg or something similar,
has the correct (file) settings.

As I said earlier, following Gerds instructions
to the letter worked just fine for me.

Eric,

I think you're missing the ngraph.ncfg component, which seems to tell
collect2.pl that it can grab files in a given directory (I use
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw instead of /dev/shm since I already know the nagios
user has appropriate rights):


interface               file
perffile_path           /dev/shm

Hi Brock				

Ok, upon further review I see that the write_fifo program is still required. despite not using a fifo.  Here's what I have for relavant config info

ngraph.ncfg

    buffer                  1024
    interface               file
    perffile_path           /dev/shm
    step                    60
    heartbeat               600
    rrdpath                 /var/log/nagios/rrd/
    cfg_file=/etc/nagios/ngraph_graphs.cfg
         This file contains all my graph definitions

Q: Do I need a HOOK Statement?  I've tried all of them with no success.

nagios.cfg

process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file=/dev/shm/service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\t$TIMET$
service_perfdata_file_mode=a
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=60
service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata-file


Commands.cfg
   define command{
       command_name    process-service-perfdata
       command_line    /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/contrib/fifo_write.pl  /var/log/nagios/rw/ngraph.pipe '$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n' 3
       }

   define command{
       command_name    process-service-perfdata-file
       command_line    mv /dev/shm/service-perfdata /dev/shm/service-prefdata.$TIMET$
       }


My datafiles are created and time-stamped, but not processed into rrds.  Also note that graphing worked as a fifo albeit with gaps.  This really comes down to why collect2.pl is not converting the files into rrds.  How can I verify that it's "trying" to run?

thanks

Odd.  The relevant portions of my working configuration are functionally
identical yours.  I have no HOOK statements in my nagios grapher
configuration, though I can post the full file on the off chance it may help
(if you feel like sifting through it).

It might be worth trying to run the process-service-perfdata command
directly to see what happens (probably while tailing the ngraph log, and
running the command as the nagios user).

Good luck.

Maybe you should comment this one (above) out.

Look at the log file, which should be defined using the "log_file"
directive together wth the "log_level" in /etc/nagios/ngraph.cfg,
or wherever you keep the NagiosGrapher configuration file.

I have the following, which gives loads of info in the log:

  log_file             /var/lib/nagios/grapher.log
  log_level            1023

Message-ID: <01c101c851a6$32f04fd0$98d0ef70$@com>

Hi all,

 

We are brand new to Nagios/*ix.

I've been nagging my head against the wall, and got it running.

Config seems to be a nightmare.

Anyone know where I can find a Monarch like interface for Nagios 3.0rc1
which is dumb proof so I can install & use it?

 

Thanks

No, the web interface shouldn't matter at all.  If it check_by_ssh works
on the command line, executed via "env -i" by the user running Nagios,
then I'm pretty sure you didn't configure Nagios to execute exactly the
same command as you did on the command line (as Marc suggested).

How about Splunk?  Nagios even comes with simple hooks to jump from
Nagios to Splunk for a device / service.  Splunk is open-source and
has a free version that can be used to ingest up to 500 MB of log
files .. or are you trying to make all your Nagios service and host
events free-text searchable?  If so, maybe you could install and
activate NDO utilities and then point Monarch or even something like
Lucene at your NDO created / updated MySQL database?

Whoops, sorry, I didn't realize Monarch was a Nagios-based program, I
was thinking of the old search engine front end for htDig which was
also named Monarch :p.

Have you tried Fruity / Lilac?  From what I have read and heard those
are easier Nagios configuration GUIs to get running ..

I vote for this too. check_by_ssh can be an alternative sometimes, but 
sometimes it is not desireable to have the nagios server full ssh access 
to the monitored machine.

Here one could live with a workaround: setup different nrpe services on 
different tcp ports and you can use different configs and access 
controls for each nrpe service.

Hi Gerhard				

The first command works but the second returns :

NRPE: Unable to read output

My nrpe.conf file looks like the following :

server_port=5666
server_address=10.1.10.233
nrpe_user=nagios
nrpe_group=nagios
#allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1 10.1.10.233
dont_blame_nrpe=1
#command_prefix=/usr/bin/sudo

NRPE runs under xinetd on my Nagios server.

Please remove "service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata". I am
not sure but think nagios doesn't wirte any perffiles if this command
exists. Could you check /dev/shm for existing files? What das
NagiosGrapher Logfile say?

Cheers,

Gerd

Michel, i think you misunderstood Gerhard. It's important to try to 
analyze the problem step by step, so please do exactly what is 
described. You tried to execute the command via NRPE, instead, you 
should have executed it manually on the console.

Please logon to the corresponding machine, do a "su - nagios", execute 
the commands as decribed on top and post the reply to keep this thing 
going, ok? :-)


Regards,

Marcus Fleige

You get Nagios + configuration web GUI + NDO + distributed setup in  
our nice complete package.

Hi Marcus				

Don't worry, I am a very disciplined person even if I'm french ;-)

So I have tried to logout and login again (as nagios of course) and the result of the command "check_nrpe -t 60 -H miysis -c check_hpasm" still is "NRPE: Unable to read output". I have tried to run this command as root and the result is the same.

I guess there really is a problem with this /etc/sudoers file. Access right is 440 on this file, which seems to be the default.

I will try to recreate it from sratch and keep you posted.

Many thanks for your kind support.

*g* I didn't realize that being french and being disciplined are opposed 
to each other. :-)

So if i get you right a direct call of the nagios user doing "sudo 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v" works? What does it output?

Is "command[check_hpasm]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm" 
still you actual nrpe configuration for the check? If so, do you have an 
explicit entry for /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm in your sudoers 
file?

Mine is 0640 root:root. Works with that.

Hi Michel,

did you restart NRPE with debug=1 ?
Any interesting debug output in /var/log/messages?

Please find the pid of the NRPE daemon on host miysis
ps -ef | grep nrpe

Then, trace the process with "strace -f -p <the_pid_you_found>
-etrace=execve"
On the Nagios server, execute the "check_nrpe -t 60 -H miysis -c
check_hpasm"
There should be some output from the strace command like
[pid 10853] execve("/bin/sh", [umovestr: Input/output error
0xf7f799c8f7f799d0, "/lfs/opt/nagios/nrpe/locallibexe"...], [/* 48 vars */])
= 0
[ Process PID=10853 runs in 64 bit mode. ]
[pid 10853] execve("/lfs/opt/nagios/nrpe/locallibexec/check_logfiles",
["/lfs/opt/nagios/nrpe/locallibexe"..., "-f"], [/* 60 vars */]) = 0
[ Process PID=10853 runs in 32 bit mode. ]

Please post your output here.

also named Monarch :p.

Have you tried Fruity / Lilac?  From what I have read and heard those
are easier Nagios configuration GUIs to get running ..

Hi Marcus	

Running "sudo
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v" as nagios prompts me for a password which does not make sense. If I enter the nagios user password, I get :

"Sorry, user nagios is not allowed to execute '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v' as root on miysis.intra-tpg.ch."

Running "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help" as nagios provides the exepected output.

It is not possible to chmod my /etc/sudoers file to 640 as it raises error when I launch the previous command (certainly a RedHat 5.0 security).

The content of my nrpe.conf is the following :

command[check_hpasm]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm
	
The content of my /etc/sudoers file is the following :

nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/hpasmcli, /opt/compaq/utils/*, /sbin/hplog, /usr/sbin/hpacucli, /opt/compaq/acucli, /usr/local/nagios/libexec/hpasm *

Things happen as if this line in the /etc/sudoers was skipped.

Of course it prompts.

Of course it does.

Please look into your sudoers file and please read the sudo manpage.
The you will know why sudo prompts or not.

This has nothing to do with it.

Can you PLEASE remove this "sudo" from this line?

And please can you execute
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm
WITHOUT sudo.

Sorry for being rude, but this takes to long and it seems you didn't read
the mails carefully.

Habe you realized the check actually is called "check_hpasm", not "hpasm"?

Subject: "expire" a passive check result.
Message-ID: <4783A948.6070900@ipp.pt>

Hello.
    I have a system checking its own services and sending them to a 
nagios server(passive checks).
    But that system stopped sending results to the nagios server. Since 
last availlable result was OK, nagios didnt warn me.
    Is there any way to tell nagios  to set  the status  of a passive 
check service to UNKNOWN, if a specified time passed since last received 
result?

     Thanks,
    Jaime

I believe you are talking about "Freshness" checks.

Hello,

When using passive checks, you *should* do the following:
define service {

Notice in particular check_freshness and freshness_threshold!

Now on a service you have:

define service {
        use                             generic-passive-service

        host_name                       fubar
        service_description             Load
        is_volatile                     0
        check_command                   check-passive
}

Notice check_command?

define command {
        command_name    check-passive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_dummy 2 "No status update"
}

Helpful, though sparse, hints? :D

Personally I use Firefox and the Nagios checker.

 

Thanks,

Message-ID: <1199814697.5046.84.camel@soundwave.ws.pitbpa0.priv.collaborativefusion.com>

All:

Does anyone have a MW addon or Nagios Check (maybe utilizes the SOAP XML
API) that queries the application-level health of MediaWiki. 

Something above & beyond simple check_http.  Validate the backend
database functionality etc..

A simple wiki-side addon could use HTTP return codes and relay
performance data (count the articles, users, etc.)

Thoughts? Discussion?

Is there anything else I need to do to get the sounds to work from any

I'd just use webinject to login, check whatever (query?) and logout.
http://www.webinject.org/

You could also write a little PHP page/script on that server that puts
the status of everything and do a check_http on that page, looking for
"Everything OK" or similar text on the page.

I don't use audio alerts but I don't believe so as long as your browser
has a handler for the audio type you are trying to play.

There was some recent discussion on the list about changing the MIME
type from application/x-mplayer2 to something else. You might want to
search for that thread to see if there was anything interesting there.

You should probably also define what you mean by "work with".

Subject: Disabling ePN
Message-ID: <4783E7C0.5070306@web-ster.com>

I'm migrating an old nagios installation to Nagios 2.10, the Fedora 
RPM. The Fedora build seems to have ePN enabled by default and a lot 
of my old custom Nagios plugins are bailing now. Is there a way to 
disable ePN in 2.10?

I found a couple config options for 3.0 that would do it, but they 
don't work with 2.10. I'd like to stick with the RPM version, and 
not have to compile my own. Is there a way to disable ePN at runtime?

I'm running Fedora myself, and generally prefer RPM-based application
installations over compiling from source.  However, compiling Nagios is
trivial - you may want to give it a try since it's just download, unpack,
configure, make all, and then the appropriate installation command(s).  I
don't think I even needed any additional devel packages beyond whatever
happened to already be on the server.

Though this doesn't answer your question, I hope this helps.

On the 2.x series there is no way to disable ePN at run time.
Your options seem to be either compile from source with it disabled  
or adjust the .spec file and rebuild it.

Search for "oracle" at http://nagiosexchange.org.
You'll get a lot of hits, maybe some of the
checks work with Oracle 10G.

Another option would be to preface the command_line for the perl plugins
with /path/to/perl. That will cause ePN not to be used for that plugin.

define command{
	...
	command_line /usr/bin/perl $USER1$/my_perl_plugin.pl ...
}

Subject: Monitor web server run multiple virtual web site
Message-ID: <625283.79251.qm@web23313.mail.ird.yahoo.com>




I am running Nagios 2.5 on a Suse Enterprise 10; I would
like to monitor web server running IIS with multiple virtual web sites.


 


Each virtual web site has different IP address, Domain name
and run on different port.


 


Here is Nagios command definition


 


 $USER1$/check_tcp -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$


 


The command definition substitute ?host address? of the
server and then check the port. However in my case I have multiple IP address
serving multiple virtual web sites on different port of the same host.


 


How do I configure Nagios to monitor virtual web sites
running on multiple IP address on the same web server?


 


Can you help? Please

If you report in only every 15 minutes, you will be plain lucky to have
any graph at all. You are required to have two entries inside the same
heartbeat to get a graph drawn (as far as we understand it). The default
heartbeat in the nagios grapher version we installed was 900 (15
minutes).

We recently chose to raise the heartbeat to one hour, so services
scheduled with more than 15 minutes between checks also have a chance of
creating a graph.

We used rrdtool and this little script to assist in the process of
updating our existing rrd files (use with find --exec)

#!/bin/sh
# Update heartbeat values for all datasources in rrd file
# Usage update_rrd_heartbeat.sh <file> <heartbeat>

rrdtool info $1 | grep ds | grep minimal_heartbeat |  perl -pe
's/^ds.*?\[(.*?)\].*?$/$1/g' |
        while read line
        do
          if [ -n "$line" ]; then
            echo "updating $line ds in $1"
            rrdtool tune $1 -h $line:$2
          fi
        done

Subject: Generic check result manipulations (percentages,
	max(), min(), etc)
Message-ID: <4784FB32.9080706@hoyletech.com>


Hey all,

Hope this hasn't been asked and answered to death, but I've read through 
forums and quite of bit of the mail archives and can't find prior 
discussion.  I am trying to monitor several Dell PowerEdge servers for a 
variety of availability criteria, including things like average 
processor load and percentage of disk space used.  This is trivial using 
the check_nt plugin and the nsclient (or another API compatible 
monitoring agent), which I am well aware of.  In fact, I've tested that 
just fine without difficulty on the box I'm prototyping on.  The issue 
is that the production servers I'll be monitoring are government 
interest, and there is substantial overhead for accrediting any new 
software (particularly a persistent process accepting connections) to be 
installed on the machines.  I'd rather not try to fight to get nsclient 
accredited.

One of the nice things about the PowerEdge servers is that they have 
fairly advanced backplane status monitoring and provide a host of 
information via snmp.  I have configured and tested things like 
obtaining the processor load values via snmp with:

define service{
    name                                cpu1-load
    use                                 generic-service
    service_description                 CPU 1 Load
    hostgroup                           poweredge2850-servers
    check_command                       check_snmp!-C removed -o 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorLoad.1 -w 0:80 -c 0:95
    notification_options                c
    first_notification_delay            10
}

There are several hosts, so these are set up against a hostgroup, etc.  
There are four processors in each machine; the relevant availability 
metric is more the average processor load across all four processors 
than it is the load of any one processor.  What I want is a way to 
capture the average of these four values and test that result against 
various threshold criteria.  Something like an avg() macro that allowed 
me to pass multiple checks within it.

Similarly, the disk drive configurations are slightly different amongst 
the various hosts, but there are more hosts than I want to calculate and 
hand-specify warning/critical thresholds based on used space for against 
their varying total space.  The ability to do something like 
percent(<snmp check for used space>, <snmp check for total space>) and 
check that against the thresholds would be an ideal solution which 
generically supported all configurations.

Again, I realize that checking for percentage of free disk space is 
available with nsclient, with local disk checking, and with remote ssh 
checks.  ssh is not an option either in this case (performance and 
security concerns).  It seems to me however, that the need/desire to 
calculate these type of values based on component values is more broadly 
applicable and could be useful in areas outside my somewhat unusual 
needs.  So my question is... is there some built-into-the-config-file 
syntax I'm missing to calculate this stuff?  Would I have to extend the 
snmp plugin?  Could a plugin generically wrap other plugin results to do 
this...  in other words, what is likely to be the least-pain method of 
being able to do this?  Ideally, I'd hope that the result would not be 
plugin-specific, i.e. need to be implemented for check_snmp and any 
other plugin needed.

I'd be happy to hear what ideas folks have (if it's already out there, 
great!).

Thanks,
Nathanael Hoyle

Hey folks,

I've got a few plugins I've written and I'm trying to clean up/expand  
the output of these for better perfdata.  Can you tell me if the  
following output is correct?

This should be interpreted as, current temp is 84.2F, warning <54 and  
 >86, critical <50 and >90 (no min or max)

OK: AMBIENT TEMP OK (84.2F) | temp=84.2F;54:86;50:90;;

thanks!

You can cut and paste from the /your/nagios/dir/var/objects.cache.  It
will be a manual process but it should work.

Yes, that's a better file to look at than the one I suggested. The
template problem, however, remains valid (ie. the service definitions
in this file are also expanded out).

You could pull from your most recent backups I'm sure you're making

Subject: Nagios SMS messaging
Message-ID: <f3485e630801091030w6a52f22ob6f6f8af5857286c@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I'm new to Nagios and I'm having a small issue with SMS Alerts. I'm not
complete familiar with how it works but my Nagios machine sends SMS alerts
to various carriers except MetroPCS. The metroPCS phone has a data plan
service and it is able to receive emails sent via outlook.

I've read up on MetroPCS not allowing shotcodes types of messages, I'm not
sure if that's what Nagios uses but any information or help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks and Best Regards,

This hasn't been discussed yet, so I can only speak for myself.

> Are there any advantages/disadvantages to doing so?

First, almost all of the official plugins explicitly state that they're
licensed under "either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any
later version", so you can use and redistribute them with GPLv3 code
already.  Obviously, the "advantage" of switching to a GPLv3-only
license and therefore prohibiting redistribution under the GPLv2 would
be to force the additional restrictions imposed by the GPLv3, which I'm
personally not interested in.  It would also make using other people's
GPLv2-only code impossible.  On the other hand, as soon as we want to
include some GPLv3-only code, we'll have to upgrade to GPLv3-only, so
I'd _guess_ it'll happen some day anyway.

> Does anyone have any opinions in licensing of 3rd party plugins as GPLv3
> instead of GPLv2?

Personally, I'm somewhat annoyed by the various incompatible Open Source
licenses floating around, as it they can make re-using code impossible
in some cases.  As the GPLv3 is yet another license which is
incompatible to everything else, I'm not really a fan of it.  I would
prefer "GPLv2 or higher" licenses over "GPLv3-only", if possible.
However, that's just me.  People who are interested in the new GPLv3
restrictions will of course prefer "GPLv3-only" licenses.

Hello All,
 
I am unable to receive email alerts.  I changed the email address in localhost.cfg.  I can send email to the address that was specified in localhost.cfg from the nagios box when logged in as root.  Im not sure what will happen if i change the nagios user password because I dont have it.  From the nagios box itself, I can send email to local and external email accounts.   The box has sendmail installed.  The box is not my mail server.  I have an exchanger server installed.  
 
Im trying to send alerts to an alert monitoring email address on my exchange server.  Any ideas   Thanks

Check your mail logs. They should tell you why mail is not being
delivered.

You should also try running your notification command as the same user
nagios run as to see if any errors are displayed.

Hi All
I've been searching high and low but haven't been successful as yet. I'm
using Nagios-2.10 with FreeBSD 7.0 RC1. The clients run nsclient. I am
monitoring a host of server processes services and counters. I have not been
able to figure out how to get it to monitor the windows event log. Could
anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks.

If I run the command */usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00*  from the server that its getting
monitored it outputs the information ok like the following:

*DISK CRITICAL - free space: /vservers/fred/data 6113 MB (5% inode=99%);|
/vservers/colombia/info =108694MB;96760;108855;0;120951*

If I use the mount point when running the line from the monitored server it
also gives the proper output.

Now, If I use the check_nrpe with the check_disk option from the nagios
server is when it give incompleted output like the following:

*DISK UNKNOWN - free space:|*

If specify the mount point in the nrpe.cfg of the monitored server and then
run the check_nrpe with the check_disk from the nagios server. It gives the
following:
*
DISK CRITICAL - /vservers/colombia/info does not exist*

Any inputs?

ensures that an email gets returned by that autoresponder?
(I'm looking for some end-to-end checks that not only check for necessary
requirements, but give us better ways of sufficiently checking everything to
better ensure that things are working correctly.)

I'm using a plugin called check_email_loop.pl

It sends via SMTP to a specific host, then on subsequent runs picks up
the email via POP.
This is invaluable in monitoring your chain of email servers/anti-spam
gateways/anti-virus boxes/etc.

Subject: NRPE agent on linux issue after reboot ...
Message-ID: <4785B856.1020405@compit.com.au>

Hi All,

I am having an issue with the NRPE agent on linux servers (happens on
all flavours I have tried).

I am using TCP Wrappers to implement it. When the server is rebooted the
port for NRPE (5666) isn't available until I manually restart it.

Here is the config I am using for the nrpe xinetd file:

# default: on
# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
service nrpe
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        port            = 5666
        wait            = no
        user            = nagios
        group           = nagios
        server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
        server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
        only_from       = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
}


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Justin

you restart it for example is not mentioned nor the distribution you are

Hey there Hugo,

I can't believe I didn't check that, I was so fixated on the bottom of 
the chkconfig --list output (saying that NRPE was "on") that I forgot to 
check the actually services.

Thanks heaps!!

Thanks for the response, I think your points are valid. I'll continue to 
use a GPL version 2 or higher license in order to try to maintain 
compatibility
and then I'll go GPLv3 when more people get in to it.

Incompatibilities among GPL license are only brought by "GPLvX-only"
type of licenses. Programs and libraries using "GPLvX or higher" will
always avoid compatibility problems among GPL licenses.

GPL is meant to be incompatible with other licenses. If you're worried
about that you should use the BSD license but keep in mind that OSS
wouldn't be nearly as strong as it is with BSD. Many companies
contributing to OSS would just rip the code if it was under the BSD license.

That will likely change for the next release if we update Gnulib to the
latest version, as they bumped their license to GPL v3. GPL requires
code linking to GPL be GPL as well, and obviously of the same version.

Subject: nagios to monitor errors?
Message-ID: <478619D0.9010008@ercbroadband.org>

Is there a plugin (or indeed, command) that will let nagios monitor
errors on a router or interface?  One of our upstream providers (who
shall remain anonymous) has been having a ton of trouble with our OC-48
circuit.  We want to be able to use nagios (or something) to monitor any
errors thrown by that interface and notify us when it happens.

Any ideas will be helpful.

I'm really not all here today, I should have included some of that.  We
have a Cisco 7600 series router that is SNMP enabled and monitored.  I
can probably use check_snmp, but wanted to see if there was a prebuilt
plugin for it first.  Just so I don't re-invent the wheel.

Right now we're running 2.9 (I think, I'll have to doublecheck that.)
but I'm not sure what client we are using, probably NSCA.

If you can find an OID that reflect the errors without being a counter
(ex. number of errors in the last x minutes) that would work well with
check_snmp. Otherwise your options are:

Write your own plugin or find one on NagiosExchange. Basically it have
to find the difference of the errors counter between the last and
current poll.

Use something like Cacti with the thresholds plugin. I don't know much
about it, but it can send alerts and you can probably use it to send
alerts to nagios to get central monitoring.

Hi Marcus				

Thanks Markus for your insight.

So now the sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v command runs perfectly launched by the nagios user.

I have also removed the "sudo" from the "command[check_hpasm]=" line in my nrpe.conf file and restarted xinetd and nagios.

Unfortunately Nagios still raises an "UNKNOWN - insufficient rights to call sudo /sbin/hpasmcli" error. I have checked that the nagios program runs with the nagios user.

So what's wrong ?

I know it takes a lot of time to all of us to solve this problem and I can understand the impatience shown by Gerhard but Nagios is really not simple to implement even in an evaluation environment and the documentation is sometimes very basic. I am evaluating other solutions and they are much more simple to setup. But I am convinced Nagios best fulfills our needs.

Which is why I prefer the latter over the former, but not all people do
it this way.  See the Linux kernel's license, for example.

That's the idea of the GPL and in some cases it definitely worked, but I
doubt this effect is really that strong in practice.  My guess would be
that most companies which don't want to (or cannot) contribute their
code to OSS won't be forced by the GPL to do so, they simply won't use
GPL code.

I thought so, too, but I checked before my other posting and most of
Gnulib is actually LGPL'd, despite the headers in the C files:

| Many modules are provided dual-license, either GPL or LGPL at your
| option.  The headers of files in the lib directory (e.g., lib/error.c)
| state GPL for convenience, since the bulk of current gnulib users are

| were not licensed under LGPL.

[ http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob_plain;f=COPYING ]

AFAICS, we're currently not using any of the GPL-only Gnulib files.

Anyway, if you (or others) would like to upgrade to GPLv3, I'm perfectly
fine with that.  I just stated my personal preference, but the license
question isn't important to me.

It isn't really an issue for the kernel though, as it's never loaded as
a library.

BSD license has other issues. If there had ever been a perfect one, the
need for a billion different ones wouldn't be needed.

Or they'll use GPL code and have in-house modifications that are never
made public, which is exactly what they would have done had it been BSD-
or MIT-licensed instead.

For the plugins it won't matter in the slightest which version is used,
as it isn't a library and so other programs will never have to think
about it. That will only become an issue if someone tries to use the
API functions in a GPLv2-only program.

otoh, I fail to see that switching to GPLv3 buys the plugins-project
anything, so *shrug*

Please do never again run /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm -v with
sudo.
The only thing that you need sudo privileges for is the /sbin/hpasmcli
command.

I thought this already worked?
> Running "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help" as nagios provides the exepected
output.

You need to make two things clear.

1. "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help" must not ask you (logged in as the nagios
user. on the host miysis) for a password.

If it asks for a password, edit your /etc/sudoers.
Do not proceed beyond this point until "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help" stops
asking you for a password.

2. "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm" executed by the nagios user
(without sudo. no more sudo) must not ask you for a password. If it does, or
if you see the message "UNKNOWN - insufficient rights to call sudo
sbin/hpasmcli", please goto 1. 
(if you execute check_hpasm as the nagios user, then "sudo
/sbin/hpasmcli..." will be called from inside the plugin)



> I have also removed the "sudo" from the

good.
This means, if the nagios server asks the nrpe daemon to execute the
check_hpasm, it will call "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm" as the
nagios user. if the nrpe daemon was started as the nagios user. then the
daemon will do exactly the same thing you did in step 2.

Now you imitate the nagios server. Login at the nagios server. Call
"check-nrpe -H miysis -c check_hpasm".
 

> problem and I can understand the impatience shown by Gerhard 
I am not really impatient. 

> but Nagios is really not simple to implement even in an 
This problems have absolutely nothing to do with Nagios. Just make sure you
(as the nagios user, not root, without sudo) can execute the commands you
want the nrpe daemon to execute.

Thanks for the clarification, Holger.

I'll check whenever we can --lgpl it.

Holger have plans to make a C library similar in functionality to
Nagios::Plugin. Although that would not be an issue either if the
library is lgpl'ed, a discussion about the license of this project
haven't even started...

Subject: DISK UNKNOWN
Message-ID: <ad68da050801100713p7b06ed78taf8774a2f103d459@mail.gmail.com>

I'm using the check_nrpe to check the space of the filesystems. The
check_nrpe its able to check the space for all the volumes except one of
them

[root at nagios plugins]# ./check_nrpe -H vm.domain.com -c check_disk3
DISK UNKNOWN - free space:|

disk3 is filesystem /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00  which is mounted on
/vservers/colombia/info. This is where the MySQL database reside.

Why is showing DISK UNKNOWN - free space ??

This is how they are mapped:
=====================
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02
                      138G   52G   79G  40% /
/dev/md1              7.8G  153M  7.2G   3% /boot
tmpfs                  14G     0   14G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                       16G  173M   15G   2% /tmp
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01
                       16G  974M   14G   7% /var
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00
                      119G   96G   17G  85% /vservers/colombia/info

If I run the command /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00  from the server that its getting monitored
it outputs the information ok like the following:

DISK CRITICAL - free space: /vservers/fred/data 6113 MB (5% inode=99%);|
/vservers/colombia/info =108694MB;96760;108855;0;120951

If I use the mount point when running the line from the monitored server it
also gives the proper output.

Now, If I use the check_nrpe with the check_disk option from the nagios
server is when it give incompleted output like the following:

DISK UNKNOWN - free space:|

If specify the mount point in the nrpe.cfg of the monitored server and then
run the check_nrpe with the check_disk from the nagios server. It gives the
following:

DISK CRITICAL - /vservers/colombia/info does not exist

Any inputs?

The issue is using kernel code directly in other projects.  If this
weren't an issue there'd be no point in using an Open Source license for
non-library-code.

*shrug*, I don't see the "issues", I guess the main reason the variants
emerged was to keep the lawyers of various institutions busy.  Well, an
issue I do see is with Berkeley's original 4-clause license, which isn't
compatible with the GPL, but I don't use that.

Yup.

It doesn't matter for the plugins, but authors which like to use plugin
code in their projects would have to think about it.

I guess it's just me, but I've been bitten by license incompatibility
issues more than once, so I'm a bit annoyed of these.  However, I fully
agree it's no big deal for the plugin's project.  I should've kept
silent :-)

Subject: Odd notifications problem
Message-ID: <215440.23308.qm@web88001.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hi all,
 
I?ve inherited an old Nagios 2.0b2 installation (I know, the horror!) running on RHEL 3 update 9.  This installation will soon be migrating to a new version of Nagios (perhaps 3.0 when it?s ?production?), but in the meantime, I have to deal with what I have at hand.
 
In order to better inform our support staff, I?ve obtained a serially-connected CDMA modem and written a script to send SMS messages to our cell phones on events.  From the command-line, as the Nagios user, it works flawlessly.
 
The first day I put it into our Nagios config as a second notification method ? the first being plain old email ? we received SMS messages upon a CRITICAL event happening.  However, since then, even though qualifying events have occurred, no SMS notifications have been sent.  According to nagios.log, both email and SMS alerts were triggered for the appropriate contacts, but my script (which logs all successful and unsuccessful messages) recorded nothing other than the messages from the first day.
 
So, somewhere between the notification mechanism in Nagios, and my script (which, again, works at the command line as the Nagios user), something is getting dropped.
 
I?ve done some searching and much haedscratching, but have come up empty.  Can someone please point me to what is most likely the incredibly obvious?
 
Much thanks in advance!

	Hi All
	I've been searching high and low but haven't been successful as
yet. I'm using Nagios-2.10 with FreeBSD 7.0 RC1. The clients run
nsclient. I am monitoring a host of server processes services and
counters. I have not been able to figure out how to get it to monitor
the windows event log. Could anyone point me in the right direction
please? 
	
	Thanks.
	



Peter,

I use NSClient++, but I would assume that NSClient is pretty similar in
functionality.

While it appears that NSClient++ can do some event log monitoring

http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/wiki/CheckEventLog/CheckEventLog

it's not something we've tried here.

All the add-ons I've seen that do event log monitoring are separate
agents that run passively -- that is, they use NSCA to talk back to the
Nagios server.

The one I played with was Steve Shipway's app that worked pretty well
for me when I tried it.  It's at Nagios Exchange

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Windows.49.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view
]=221&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=10%3A10

Hope that helps.

Mark

True that, but 90% of the even half-generic code in the kernel has dual
licenses. Most of it is in the public domain (cryptography framework, fe).

In that case, stick with "GPL, v2 or later". Change for the sake of
changing is only profitable for aspirin vendors.

I haven't worked with that version in a while, so I hope that my

Logically therefore, either nagios is logging the SMS alert and failing 
to actually call your script, or your script fails to log the call 
properly when called from nagios, which seems less likely.

Can you give us the command/notification entry in the nagios config that 
calls your script?  It's one of the most likely points of failure.  I 
would also suggest testing with a temporary script which ignores all 
input and does something like 'touch' a file in /tmp to help see if it's 
a nagios/config/permissions problem or a script/environment problem.  
The script in question would also be useful for looking for a problem, 
but I'll understand if you don't care to post that.

This is for columbia

Don't you mean this to be /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00 as below?

So which is it? Are you making these up? You've provided 3 different
mount points for this filesystem in this thread --

/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00
                       119G  107G  5.8G  95% /vservers/collombia/info


/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00
				119G   96G   17G  85%
/vservers/colombia/info

And in nrpe.cfg --

command[check_disk3]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10%
-p /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01

NRPE isn't configured to check either of the ones you've provided df
output for.

sorry for the confusion. I usually change some info on the information i
provide via email due to security reasons.

The real mount point is the following:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00
                      119G  107G  5.8G  95% /vservers/fred/data

The credible and accurate information is in the email I sent previously with
the nrpe.cfg configuration.

Here is the nrpe.cfg again:

#############################################################################
# Sample NRPE Config File
# Written by: Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)
#
# Last Modified: 02-23-2006
#
# NOTES:
# This is a sample configuration file for the NRPE daemon.  It needs to be
# located on the remote host that is running the NRPE daemon, not the host
# from which the check_nrpe client is being executed.
#############################################################################


# PID FILE
# The name of the file in which the NRPE daemon should write it's process ID
# number.  The file is only written if the NRPE daemon is started by the
root
# user and is running in standalone mode.

pid_file=/var/run/nrpe.pid



# PORT NUMBER
# Port number we should wait for connections on.
# NOTE: This must be a non-priviledged port (i.e. > 1024).
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

server_port=5666



# SERVER ADDRESS
# Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface
# and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces.
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

#server_address=192.168.1.1



# NRPE USER
# This determines the effective user that the NRPE daemon should run as.
# You can either supply a username or a UID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

nrpe_user=nagios



# NRPE GROUP
# This determines the effective group that the NRPE daemon should run as.
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

nrpe_group=nagios



# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is an optional comma-delimited list of IP address or hostnames
# that are allowed to talk to the NRPE daemon.
#
# Note: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP
# address.  I would highly recommend adding entries in your /etc/hosts.allow
# file to allow only the specified host to connect to the port
# you are running this daemon on.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

#allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.0.2



# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients
# to specify arguments to commands that are executed.  This option only
works
# if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args configure
script
# option.
#
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security
implications
# of enabling this variable.
#
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments

dont_blame_nrpe=0



# COMMAND PREFIX
# This option allows you to prefix all commands with a user-defined string.
# A space is automatically added between the specified prefix string and the
# command line from the command definition.
#
# *** THIS EXAMPLE MAY POSE A POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK, SO USE WITH CAUTION!
***
# Usage scenario:
# Execute restricted commmands using sudo.  For this to work, you need to
add
# the nagios user to your /etc/sudoers.  An example entry for alllowing
# execution of the plugins from might be:
#
# nagios          ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
#
# This lets the nagios user run all commands in that directory (and only
them)
# without asking for a password.  If you do this, make sure you don't give
# random users write access to that directory or its contents!

# command_prefix=/usr/bin/sudo



# DEBUGGING OPTION
# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the
# syslog facility.
# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on

debug=0



# COMMAND TIMEOUT
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will
# allow plugins to finish executing before killing them off.

command_timeout=60



# WEEK RANDOM SEED OPTION
# This directive allows you to use SSL even if your system does not have
# a /dev/random or /dev/urandom (on purpose or because the necessary patches
# were not applied). The random number generator will be seeded from a file
# which is either a file pointed to by the environment valiable $RANDFILE
# or $HOME/.rnd. If neither exists, the pseudo random number generator will
# be initialized and a warning will be issued.
# Values: 0=only seed from /dev/[u]random, 1=also seed from weak randomness

#allow_weak_random_seed=1



# INCLUDE CONFIG FILE
# This directive allows you to include definitions from an external config
file.

#include=<somefile.cfg>



# INCLUDE CONFIG DIRECTORY
# This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a
# .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion).

#include_dir=<somedirectory>
#include_dir=<someotherdirectory>



# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
# are in the following format:
#
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
#
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.
#
# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
# typed exactly as it should be executed.
#
# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below
# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# directory.  Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below
# to match the argument format the plugins expect.  Remember, these are
# examples only!

# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...

command[check_users]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10
command[check_load]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c
30,25,20

command[check_total_procs]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 150 -c

# The following examples allow user-supplied arguments and can

Please reply in context. You're already making it difficult enough for
people to help by masking required information badly.

Is this made up or is it the real config? It's wrong if it's real as
indicated previously.

Yes, its the real config.

*For disk3 I have the following on nrpe.cfg*

command[check_disk3]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01

*That filesystem is mounted on /var.

*/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01       16G  957M   14G   7% /var

Nagios is able to monitor /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01  with no problems.

*The one I was having issues with is:*
command[check_disk4]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00

What if you make it:

 

command[check_disk4]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10%
-p /vservers/fred/data

 

I can only get check_disk to work on mounted disks  using -p to point to
LVM disks, but this is mounted, right?

In your original e-mail you said --

"[root at nagios plugins]# ./check_nrpe -H vm.domain.com
<http://vm.domain.com>  -c check_disk3
DISK UNKNOWN - free space:|

disk3 is filesystem /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00  which is mounted
on /vservers/colombia/info. This is where the MySQL database reside.

Why is showing DISK UNKNOWN - free space ??"

This is completely different than what you are saying now (check_disk3,
different mount point, different mount name).

And you also said --

"/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00
                      119G   96G   17G  85% /vservers/colombia/info

If I run the command /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10%
-p /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-infoVol00  from the server that its getting
monitored it outputs the information ok like the following: 

DISK CRITICAL - free space: /vservers/fred/data 6113 MB (5% inode=99%);|
/vservers/colombia/info =108694MB;96760;108855;0;120951"


Which is the one you are now stating is broken. Unless I'm missing
something obvious, this _entire_ thread has been a complete waste of
time for everyone involved because you have not been able to provide
accurate and relevant information.

I would suggest that you start a new thread, with accurate, complete and
relevant information after you have reviewed all your configurations for
human error. I personally have zero confidence in any of the information
you have provided so far.

Good luck.

When I make it:

command[check_disk4]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/vservers/fred/data

I get the same message:

DISK UNKNOWN - free space:|

Yes, its mounted on /vservers/fred/data

*Note:
===
These commands work when ran in the monitored host but not from the nagios
server:*

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /vservers/fred/data

command[check_disk4]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00

# Sample NRPE Config File
# Written by: Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)
#
# Last Modified: 02-23-2006
#
# NOTES:
# This is a sample configuration file for the NRPE daemon.  It needs to be
# located on the remote host that is running the NRPE daemon, not the host
# from which the check_nrpe client is being executed.
#############################################################################


# PID FILE
# The name of the file in which the NRPE daemon should write it's process ID
# number.  The file is only written if the NRPE daemon is started by the
root
# user and is running in standalone mode.

pid_file=/var/run/nrpe.pid



# PORT NUMBER
# Port number we should wait for connections on.
# NOTE: This must be a non-priviledged port (i.e. > 1024).
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

server_port=5666



# SERVER ADDRESS
# Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface
# and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces.
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

#server_address=192.168.1.1



# NRPE USER
# This determines the effective user that the NRPE daemon should run as.
# You can either supply a username or a UID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

nrpe_user=nagios



# NRPE GROUP
# This determines the effective group that the NRPE daemon should run as.
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

nrpe_group=nagios



# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is an optional comma-delimited list of IP address or hostnames
# that are allowed to talk to the NRPE daemon.
#
# Note: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP
# address.  I would highly recommend adding entries in your /etc/hosts.allow
# file to allow only the specified host to connect to the port
# you are running this daemon on.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd

#allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.0.2



# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients
# to specify arguments to commands that are executed.  This option only
works
# if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args configure
script
# option.
#
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security
implications
# of enabling this variable.
#
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments

dont_blame_nrpe=0



# COMMAND PREFIX
# This option allows you to prefix all commands with a user-defined string.
# A space is automatically added between the specified prefix string and the
# command line from the command definition.
#
# *** THIS EXAMPLE MAY POSE A POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK, SO USE WITH CAUTION!
***
# Usage scenario:
# Execute restricted commmands using sudo.  For this to work, you need to
add
# the nagios user to your /etc/sudoers.  An example entry for alllowing
# execution of the plugins from might be:
#
# nagios          ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
#
# This lets the nagios user run all commands in that directory (and only
them)
# without asking for a password.  If you do this, make sure you don't give
# random users write access to that directory or its contents!

# command_prefix=/usr/bin/sudo



# DEBUGGING OPTION
# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the
# syslog facility.
# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on

debug=0



# COMMAND TIMEOUT
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will
# allow plugins to finish executing before killing them off.

command_timeout=60



# WEEK RANDOM SEED OPTION
# This directive allows you to use SSL even if your system does not have
# a /dev/random or /dev/urandom (on purpose or because the necessary patches
# were not applied). The random number generator will be seeded from a file
# which is either a file pointed to by the environment valiable $RANDFILE
# or $HOME/.rnd. If neither exists, the pseudo random number generator will
# be initialized and a warning will be issued.
# Values: 0=only seed from /dev/[u]random, 1=also seed from weak randomness

#allow_weak_random_seed=1



# INCLUDE CONFIG FILE
# This directive allows you to include definitions from an external config
file.

#include=<somefile.cfg>



# INCLUDE CONFIG DIRECTORY
# This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a
# .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion).

#include_dir=<somedirectory>
#include_dir=<someotherdirectory>



# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
# are in the following format:
#
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
#
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.
#
# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
# typed exactly as it should be executed.
#
# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below
# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# directory.  Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below
# to match the argument format the plugins expect.  Remember, these are
# examples only!

# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...

Subject: Check USEDDISKSPACE against remaining partition

Message-ID: <927905ECF3594A47BC295595B977B7AF011171C6@sgp-sg-mb02.sgp.agilent.com>

Hi, 

I'm trying to check the windows hard disk sapce based on the space (MB or GB) left on the partition. But unfortunately my current used check_nt (1.46) only checks hard disk space by percentage. So does anybody have the solution on checking free space left on hard disk? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I need some answer from you about sms from nagios. I install nagios 2.8 and
mail notification is working well, for sms notification I used "lynx" but
with "lynx" I'm not abble to dispatch sms alerts, I mean the sms alert can
be sent, but no way to manage it to specification persons. So I want to know
if sms alert can be done directly by nagios?

Hi Gerhard				

By imitating the Nagios server and running the "check-nrpe -H miysis -c check_hpasm" command, I get the same output as in Nagios : "UNKNOWN - insufficient rights to call sudo /sbin/hpasmcli".

What is more surprising is that if I change my Nagios etc/hosts.cfg file to :

define service {
host_name miysis
use template-services
service_description HP Hardware
check_command check_hpasm
}

instead of

define service {
host_name miysis
use template-services
service_description HP Hardware
check_command check_nrpe!check_hpasm
}


I also get this "UNKNOWN - insufficient rights to call sudo /sbin/hpasmcli" though I don't use NRPE anymore...

Really driving me crazy but it seems to prove the problem is not bound to NRPE but to Nagios itself.

This is the exact correct behaviour, until you added a sudo-command for 
/sbin/hpasmcli on your nagios-server! To get this clear: Whenever you 
start a command via nrpe, the command defined will be executed on your 
_remote_ server. Nagios calls check_nrpe, check_nrpe connects to remote 
site and lets the nrpe daemon execute the defined check (check_hpasm).

When you remove check_nrpe from the check_command definition, check 
_hpasm is executed _locally_!


> Really driving me crazy but it seems to prove the problem is not bound to NRPE but to Nagios itself.
No, its bound to the way you configure your nagios. You have to choose 
what you want to configure: local check or remote check via nrpe. Make 
your choice and concentrate on the solution of just that single problem.

Ok, another try for the nrpe part:

Before checking the real nrpe part, make sure this works:

1. Connect to miysis via ssh.
2. look into /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg or whereever your nrpe-config is and 
get the username nrpe runs under.
3. su - <found_username>
4. sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -help

If this asks you about a password, your sudo-config lacks an entry.
Else, process as follows:

5. Look at the command definition in your nrpe.cfg.
6. Call check_hpasm exactly as it will be called by nrpe.

Only if all that works, and only if all that works, try to check if it 
also does from your nagios server by calling check_nrpe.

I would suggest you read over the documentation for nagios and nrpe 
again to get the way it works clear.

Oh, and by the way: Gerhard is from southern germany, its impossible for 
them to be impatient by any means! ;-)

Marcus Fleige

Hi Jake,
 
  you should use the mount points in the configuration, as in:
 
command[check_disk1]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /tmp
 
At the moment you have the disk device (OK, logical volume) configured.

Subject: Monitoring Windows workstation
Message-ID: <009501c8543f$a588fbf0$6e01000a@mc.ccure.be>

Hi *,

I'd like some advices on the following case:

A network monitored by Nagios. I'd like to run a script when a workstation
boots.
This script should perform the following actions:

1. Check if some services are running (antivirus, vnc server)
2. Send the info to Nagios (passive check)

My idea is to define one passive check on a fake host in Nagios named
"Workstation_Security".
All workstations will feed this service with the following info:
	- Host name / IP
	- Services status (OK, WARN, CRIT)

What's the best way to achieve this? In the user profile? How to send the
information
to Nagios? What are your experience with such setup?

/x

This is a very good idea.

I have written a plugin for windows which does check the status of all 
services that are set to automatic startup that are not running (it can 
take exclusions too).

This is similar to what you have asked for but not exactly the same.

In fact, I had the idea you are talking about a while ago and haven't 
gotten round to writing the plugin for it yet.

If you can wait a couple of days, I'm sure to release this as I can base 
it off the previous mentioned automatic services plugin (which 
incidentally is located here if you want it 
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=1183).

If you have any feature requests for the new multiple services plugin, 
let me have them now.

My ideas on this:

- Take a list of hosts on the command line or from a file.
- Define a list of services on command line (or from a file, see next point)
- Possibly take a list of hosts and a list of services on each host, or 
services global to all hosts
- All services to be defined with either short or long names (above 
plugin already has this feature)
- Take arguments in /windows and --unix style plus short args like -u 
for --unix.

Other things to note:
- independent of any remote execution method, can be used pretty much 
anywhere anyhow.
- native to windows to run on all modern windows systems

Let me know if you have anything to add to this list and I will 
incorporate it.

Thanks

Hi Jake,

Can you tell me which version of check_disk you are using? Did you
compiled Nagios-plugins on the server you're running the check against?

The -p argument normally takes a mountpoint. Can you try with that? Can
you also try running it as the same used NRPE is sunning as?

Thanks

This sounds excellent!

Ideally, the plugin read a config file with the following info:

- List of services to check (running=OK, not running=CRIT)
- A Nagios server IP address
- A host / service reference 

But how to send the info to the Nagios server? On Unix clients, I use a
simple ssh which echoes a line
in the /nagios/spool/nagios.cmd to inject passive results.

Have you not heard of NSCA?

Using NSCA would be much better from the point of view of both 
standardization and Security.

Having ssh access from unix clients to the server feels dangerous. I 
would infer that this ssh access is automated and hence probably uses 
unprotected ssh keys. This is a bit of a back door where all roads lead 
back to your nagios server. You should strongly consider switching to 
NSCA for that.

On windows, if you want it as a passive check, I think the only way 
would be to use something like Nc_Net which I believe supports sending 
passive service checks to the nagios server. I haven't used it 
personally so I can't vouch for it (it requires that you go around 
installing the .NET framework, which makes it quite unportable and not 
easily deployable since even the .NET silent install is not silent but 
gives a popup, it would an ugly hack to try to use Wsh to try to catch 
that to automate the install, hence I use NSClient++ which is easy to 
deploy and I don't have to deal with any installing more).

If there is a port of send_nsca which is the passive service check 
client then I suggest you use that to call whatever check_plugins you 
want and sent the result back to the nagios server. You will have to 
install an NSCA listener on the nagios server of course but this is not 
difficult and it gives you passphrase and encryption protection.

The idea for this plugin would not include the passive service check 
send, as I want it to remain portable and independent of all Nagios 
execution mechanisms so that anyone can use it in any setup with any 
technology they are using for remote checks.

 From a design perspective, the remote execution mechanism and the 
actual check_plugin should be separate and modular so you can mix and match.

Message-ID: <F3B7266974590E46B54927D043C362A6017C095E@OESTMB401A.tdk.dk>

Hi,

We are experiencing some trouble with notification on Solaris - it
appears to be very slow (~30 seconds / notification).

Is this normal for a Solaris installation? The command used doesn't
matter, even just a check_dummy returning ok takes the same amount of
time. - And even with a & in the end for backgrounding it, it is still
the same amount of time.

Is there a workaround for parallizing notifications or other means of
having them spawn in the background? Has anybody experienced anything
similar?

All passive check processing halts while this is going on (performance
info still says lots of external commands processes though), so this is
a bit of a problem to us.

I am monitoring a Windows 2003 virtual machine.  Nagios says the server
is down but when I click on the device all the monitors (ping, disk
space, load, etc) say OK.
 
Why does Nagios think the server is down?

It's blocking pings.

Change your host check to not ping, use some other method, or allow ping 
on your server.

In general terms, the host's check_command that you've configured  
doesn't accurately reflect the state of the host. What is that command  
exactly and does it work as expected when run from the command line as  
the nagios user?

Please post the host{} and command{} definitions and the test run from  
the command line if you need further help

I fixed the problem by removing the check_host_alive statement from the
Host Definition section of the CFG file.

Thanks for the quick responses.

It's blocking pings.

Change your host check to not ping, use some other method, or allow ping

on your server.

Has anyone got a plugin or script they use to check the status of the
ndo2db daemon? I've been looking on nagiosexchange and through google
and am yet to find one. I'm not much of a programmer, so I really can't
right one up myself or I would. Any help on this issue would be wonderful.

I'm using check_mysql_query to check that db updates aren't stale:

  check_mysql_query -H naghost -d <nagios_db> -u <readonlyuser> -p <somepass> \
  -q "SELECT NOW() - status_update_time FROM nagios_programstatus" -w 120 -c 300

If ndo2db is dead/failed to start, or there are other issues (corrupt tables),
I believe this will catch it.  You could also do something like watch the nagios.log
for the dreaded "unable to connect to data sink" message, or check that the
ndo2db process is running, though I'm finding that checking the db for
freshness is a good indicator.

	Server 2003 Storage Server
Message-ID: <F76F46ADD6410C4BBBB7F0A6E4A331A3928E02@PHSXMB26.partners.org>

Hi there -

 

I am trying to get NSClient 2.01 to run on Windows Server 2003 Storage Server.
The installation process appears

to go without a problem, and there is a Nagios Agent heading in the Services
window. However, whenever I try to

run NSClient, the program cannot start, and the error message that appears
indicates the program closed

unexpectedly. I tried running NSClient in Windows 2000 compatibility mode with
the same result.

 

Has anyone seen this, and know what the solution is? Thanks.

Yes, NCSA is a very good alternative but unusable in my case... Well it's
another debate ;-)

It seems that there is no port or any existing send_ncsa.exe... :(
Anybody has more info?

Have you not heard of NSCA?

Using NSCA would be much better from the point of view of both
standardization and Security.

Having ssh access from unix clients to the server feels dangerous. I would
infer that this ssh access is automated and hence probably uses unprotected
ssh keys. This is a bit of a back door where all roads lead back to your
nagios server. You should strongly consider switching to NSCA for that.

On windows, if you want it as a passive check, I think the only way would be
to use something like Nc_Net which I believe supports sending passive
service checks to the nagios server. I haven't used it personally so I can't
vouch for it (it requires that you go around installing the .NET framework,
which makes it quite unportable and not easily deployable since even the
NET silent install is not silent but gives a popup, it would an ugly hack
to try to use Wsh to try to catch that to automate the install, hence I use
NSClient++ which is easy to deploy and I don't have to deal with any
installing more).

If there is a port of send_nsca which is the passive service check client
then I suggest you use that to call whatever check_plugins you want and sent
the result back to the nagios server. You will have to install an NSCA
listener on the nagios server of course but this is not difficult and it
gives you passphrase and encryption protection.

The idea for this plugin would not include the passive service check send,
as I want it to remain portable and independent of all Nagios execution
mechanisms so that anyone can use it in any setup with any technology they
are using for remote checks.

 From a design perspective, the remote execution mechanism and the actual
check_plugin should be separate and modular so you can mix and match.

When I use the filesystems unstead of the mount points in the nrpe.cfg it
works fine with disks 1, 2 and 3. The only disk that nrpe is not able to
read is disk4 which is mounted on /vservers/fred/data.
*
This is the version of nrpe I'm using:*

NRPE Plugin for Nagios

Version: 2.5.1
Last Modified: 04-09-2006
License: GPL v2 with exemptions (-l for more info)
SSL/TLS Available: Anonymous DH Mode, OpenSSL 0.9.6 or higher required
*
The Nagios-plugins were installed using the rpm on the server I'm running
the check against.

I changed the nrpe.cfg for disk4 to the following:

*command[check_disk4]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/vservers/fred/data

When I run /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/vservers/fred/data from the monitored server it outputs the information
fine.

*But when running ./check_nrpe -H my.server.com -c check_disk4 from the
Nagios server I get the following:*

DISK CRITICAL - /vservers/fred/data does not exist


Is this a bug with nrpe?

No, that's incorrect.  These are plugins that, not only are we using,  
but I'm releasing via nagiosexchange.org.  That being said, I am  
trying to strictly adhere to the perfparse output format defined in  
the Nagios Plugin dev documentation.

Most of the graphing packages I've found for nagios respect the proper  
output.

Mike,

IIRC, Windows XP SP2 and newer block pings by default.  This being the  
case, nagios' host check command (a ping by default) is going to think  
the system is down.  Either pick a different host check command for  
your Windows boxen, or enable the receipt of pings through the built- 
in firewall.

 From one of your previous posts:

*The one I was having issues with is:*
command[check_disk4]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% 
-p /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00
*
Which is mounted on*
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00     119G  107G  5.8G  95% 
/vservers/fred/data


That is a pretty big volume (well, big to me since I grew up with 540M 
being HUGE).  I have a similar problem using "check_disk" to verify the 
free space on a 16 Terabyte volume (on Solaris 10).  Please humor me and 
read the post that I made to this group on 2008-1-7 at 4:28pm (CST).

I don't remember what OS you are using... But please run the 
"check_disk" program through the syscall logger for your OS.

On Linux:
strace /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p 
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00

On Solaris:
truss /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p 
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00

On FreeBSD (from memory, I could be wrong):
ktrace /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p 
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00


Near the bottom you should see a call to "statvfs" or something similar 
(again, read my post first). 

Do you have the same error that I do?  In my case, the nagios-plugins 
package was compiled without support for "fs64", so it used the older 
"statvfs" which can't handle huge disk volumes.  The kernel call 
returned an error instead of the volume info.

It looks like it is working (it is returning CRITICAL instead of 
UNKNOWN) to me on the command line, but I think that you stated that in 
a previous posting.

The next step is to modify your nrpe.cfg file to run "check_disk" 
through strace when invoked from nrpe.

So change the line in nrpe.cfg to be like this (using whichever paths 
you need).

command[check_disk4]=/usr/bin/strace -o /tmp/strace.log  
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p  /vservers/fred/data

Then invoke the command from your nagios server (by hand is fine).  The 
post the BOTTOM section of the strace.log file.  No need to see all of 
the crap (loading dynamic libraries) at the top.

Sorry. Big oops. I now ran the command as the nagios user and I get the
message:

sh-3.1$ /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-fredVol00

the way i read the development guidelines, it looks like you'll have  
a problem with your UOM field:

   10. UOM (unit of measurement) is one of:

          1.  no unit specified - assume a number (int or float) of  
things (eg, users, processes, load averages)
          2.  s - seconds (also us, ms)
          3.  % - percentage
          4.  B - bytes (also KB, MB, TB)
          5.  c - a continous counter (such as bytes transmitted on  
an interface)

since 'F' is not one of those options, you might run into an issue;  
as a workaround, you could write

	OK: AMBIENT TEMP OK (84.2F) | temp_F=84.2;54:86;50:90;;

Subject: Strange think
Message-ID: <94212b210801110927i1816fc37x93e23a808eb0a9db@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all!!

I have a strange issue here with my nagios. Let me try to explain...

I have some web services to check and when I run the command from console to
test two diferent status of these services (UP or DOWN) I receive the
correct answer from remote application. Let me put the command here:

./usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H www.somehost.com.br -u
/heartbeat.asmx/Web -s '<boolean xmlns="
http://www.somehost.com.br/">true</boolean>'<http://www.somehost.com.br/%22%3Etrue%3C/boolean%3E'>

As the check_http says, I have to use check_http -H <vhost> -u URL path that
I wan to check on specified host and -s <string> that I expect to be
returned to me.

Ok!

I run this command from console and everything goes fine. To test, I've
changed the expected string from true to false, and the answer received
after running the command from console changes to "DOWN String not found".

The problem is, when I put it into service.cfg for nagios run the command,
I've realized that nagios is not threating the return. If the service is
down, nagios keeps showing me that the service is OK.

In command.cfg file, I've changed the line check_http command to add one
more argument that I need.

The default is check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$.

I've changed it to check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$

 In services.cfg file I put check_http!www.somehost.com.br -u
/heartbeat.asmx/Web!'<boolean xmlns="
http://www.somehost.com.br/">true</boolean>'<http://www.somehost.com.br/%22%3Etrue%3C/boolean%3E'>

I think that nagios is doesn't recognizing the sintax.

My queustino is...

In the lines that I put above, Is there anything I am missing?

Regards,

Fabiano Martins

Either you didn't grab the full line out of services.cfg, or your 
service entry check_command is missing the -s bit.

Hope that fixes it,

Trying to build Nagios plugins 1.4.11 on Solaris 10 SPARC. Using gcc 3.4.6 and GNU make 3.8.1, getting this:

...
rm -f libgnu.a
false cru libgnu.a full-read.o full-write.o strnlen1.o xalloc-die.o xstrndup.o asnprintf.o asprintf.o basename.o c-strtod.o cloexec.o creat-safer.o dirname.o dup-safer.o error.o exitfail.o fd-safer.o fsusage.o getopt.o getopt1.o mbchar.o mountlist.o open-safer.o pipe-safer.o printf-args.o printf-parse.o regex.o safe-read.o safe-write.o strcasecmp.o stripslash.o strndup.o strnlen.o vasnprintf.o vasprintf.o xmalloc.o
make[3]: *** [libgnu.a] Error 1
...

What's it using the 'false' command for? I saw a page that suggested that the 'ar' command is the one that is supposed to run. It is in my path though. Any ideas? I don't suppose anyone has a package built for Solaris 10?

I noticed when running .configure that the ar command was returning the 'usage' line with the command line options.


It seems the Solaris options for ar are different than GNU's. I think configure didn't detect the correct 'ar', and set the Makefile path for it to 'false'. Hence the confusion.


I installed GNU binutils from Sunfreeware.com and re-ran the config, it works fine.

I would probably change this to "check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$

and change the services.cfg to:

I'm thinking that the parser might be getting confused with the "-u"
option and/or the whitespace and is ignoring the string check. I would
also suggest posting in simple text to mailing lists, especially when
you paste configurations, since  HTML output can confuse the actual
command you are trying to show.

Hope this Helps,

What should i add on my nagios server to be able to see the CPU/

Message-ID: <4AB4EC5F69C3774C875B1BD8CB658B1A0320672E@ny0ech01.LNHOLDINGS.COM>

Is there a way to do hostextinfo for hostgroups? I would like to be able
to have the alerts automatically have links to a respective page
describing the server and various documentation. I would like to do this
for groups of hosts rather than single hosts. Dynamically if possible.

I suppose I could write a script that generates that file but curious if
there is a better nagios way of doing it.

Nagios 2.10 stable

Thanks,

Hi Xavier,


I am a bit confused to your goals, but I believe you should be able to
accomplish your goals with NC_NEt,

The Service or the Process checks accept comma seperated lists  and return
Critical if one in the group is not running.

YOur initial post said you wanted to setup a single PAssive check on NAgios.
but your last email specified not using NSCA for some undisclosed reason.

NSCA is a two part service to submit the checks to nagios as an active
check, NSCA is a Standard for recieving Passive checks on Nagios for more
information read the Manual and install NSCA onto your Nagios Host for
recieving Passive checks.

Send_NSCA is used for submitting checks to the NAgios Host that is running
NSCA.
NC_Net has its own  Send_NSCA built into it that works with Nagions.  NC_NEt
can also send Passive Host checks

Besides NC_NEt NAgiosExchange has a Win32_sendNSCA if I remember it is
listed under the Communication section of the plugins burried on one of the
latter pages. this would allow you to submit anything you can get to
standard out on a Windows Host to a NSCA.

NSCA is well  documented, and so are the Nagios Docs on NSCA and how to get
it,
NC_NEt is configured though the Startup.cfg saved in the install folder,
and settings are mostly documented inside the config files.
For setting up the acctual passive checks in NC_NEt it is easiest to use the
check_nc_net.c plugin, this is documented thorugh the Help option and can be
compiled as one would compile check_nt (which is part of the Official Nagios
PLugins)

NC_Net is availible form SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

Tony (Author of NC_NEt)

Its possible to ad a special text string to the content, is it possible to monitor on that in a flash content?

Have you read the nagiosgraph manual. Read that first, when you run into any
issues, post your errors and then we can help you.

Think of flash as a program and the flash player application as the OS  
it runs on. You essentially need a flash player that accepts  
scriptable actions and sends parseable output based on that script.  
I'm not aware of anything like that, nagios related or not. I think  
the best that you can do has already been suggested -- indirectly by  
monitoring everything else that the flash application depends on.

I thought I remembered seeing somewhere that Nagios 2.x cfg files can be
imported into Nagios 3.x with no problems.
Can anyone confirm this?

Yes :).  You may get a few warnings about using deprecated
configuration directives on startup or if you run 'nagios -v
/path/to/nagios.cfg' but you can do this (I did this not too long
ago).  Make sure you don't just re-install and then walk away though,
Nagios 3 has a number of new configuration directives that can really
help improve performance, especially for larger installations.

I have not seen any RPMs for distros yet but I usually build from
source for Nagios :) because the installs I have seen generally do not
include the embedded perl interpreter which is something I make heavy
use of :p.

Dag Wieers is where I go for RPMs for Redhat-like systems; I don't see
anything but 2.x RPMs there yet.  I think most places wait until a
stable release is out (which makes sense) before releasing RPMs.

Yes, transitioning from 1.x to 2.x was a pretty big deal and not so
easy, I remember that clearly.  Moving to 3.x was much easier and the
new configuration directives in the Nagios 3 configuration language
along with custom variables really help make for a much easier to read
and manage configuration :).

We have 3.x rpm's at http://linadd.org.
So far only tested on SuSE Linux 10.x.
Test on Fedora 8 commencing next week.

I have modified Dag's Spec file to build some Nagios 3.0rc1 packages for

AFAIK the only change you should do is merge host/service extinfo into
their respective host/service definitions. Once you get it working, you
can take advantage of the numerous features to make your
config/monitoring simpler or better.

Hi there ? 



I am trying to get NSClient 2.01 to run on Windows Server 2003 Storage Server. The installation process appears 

to go without a problem, and there is a Nagios Agent heading in the Services window. However, whenever I try to 

run NSClient, the program cannot start, and the error message that appears indicates the program closed 

unexpectedly. I tried running NSClient in Windows 2000 compatibility mode with the same result.

Message-ID: <478A8E17.5050607@ipso.ro>

Hello,

I know this is not a life and death problem, but it's sometimes annoying.
I've tried to user transparent pngs for the icons in the status-map, but 
I can only "see" through one of the icons, the other ones have a white 
background.
I checked the transparency on all images and it's ok.
Do you have any suggestions for fixing this?

Thanks

Are you using Internet Explorer? If it works with any other browser I
have a js fix for that...

Any time you receive that message, try running ?nagios ?v <config file>?.  Look for ERROR indications in the output for a better idea of where your problems lie.

Yep, you could use check_http regex matching.  I also just read that 
mediawiki has an XML interface -- not quite SOAP, but still parseable 
(maybe use php-xml and libxml)

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to ask a quick question.

I would like to be able to set a nagios user to not be in a contact group of a 
host(ie. not be notified from problems etc) but still to be able to view the 
host on the nagios display map.

If this possible?

If I remove him from the contact group the host disappears off the map :(

Any idea?

OK, I was being lazy and found out how it works:
If you are authorized for all hosts you can view all hosts and all services. 
If you are authorized for all services you can view all services. 
If you are an authenticated contact you can view all hosts and services for 
which you are a contact.

Global Host Information Access
  Format:  authorized_for_all_hosts=<user1>,<user2>,<user3>,...<usern>
  Example:  authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,theboss
   This is a comma-delimited list of names of authenticated users who can view 
status and configuration information for all hosts. Users in this list are 
also automatically authorized to view information for all services. Users in 
this list are not automatically authorized to issue commands for all hosts or 
services. If you want users able to issue commands for all hosts and services 
as well, you must add them to the authorized_for_all_host_commands variable. 
More information on how to setup authentication and configure authorization 
for the CGIs can be found here.

OK, hope this helps someone.

Depending on where you installed nagios, run this command

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

That will tell you what is wrong.

Post the error message and we can help.

Hi,

Solaris SPARC, T1000 hardware.

There is no problems involved in running the plugins / notifications at
the command line, they execute in no time.

The delay we can see is from nagios stating in the nagios.log that is
going to send the alert and to the bash script / check is actually
executed.

So the delay probably has to do with the way nagios spawns serialized
commands (as we see it?).

The script appears to be called at the very late end of the "execution

the command line.

Still: Solaris/SPARC, T1000, no noticable load (~1).

Subject: Problem with status.dat and status.log
Message-ID: <645048.16002.qm@web27202.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Hi there:

I'm having a little issue that meaby u can help me here.

I had running a previous version of nagios 1.3 , and the status output for that was status.log located under /usr/local/nagios/var with a format more or less like this.

[1200300255] HOST;webmail1-priv;UP;1200282375;1199189905;0;57855580;16133;14463;0;0;1;1;1;1;0;0.00;0;1;1;OK - 10.128.1.61: rta 0.812ms, lost 0%

Now with a NEW version of NAgios ( 2.1 ) the format of my log is different and the name of the file has also changed... name of the file is now status.dat and format looks like this :

service {
        host_name=AFRODITA
        service_description=Cola_CPU
        modified_attributes=0
        check_command=win-cola-procesador
        event_handler=
        has_been_checked=1
        should_be_scheduled=1
        check_execution_time=1.218
        check_latency=453.154
        check_type=0
        current_state=0
        last_hard_state=0
        current_attempt=1
        max_attempts=5
        state_type=1
        last_state_change=1200195341
        last_hard_state_change=1197359367
        last_time_ok=1200305205




Instead of recive the log status with coma-separated i get it with this new format... is there any way to change my actual status.dat to the previus version of Nagios?? I'm using some custom web pages developed in php and i need the old log format to keep them without any change.

Regards.

Sergio

I added the nagiosgraph for current_load when i call it from the web

it gave :

And, what about your http daemon logs?  Something like
/var/log/httpd/error_log, perhaps.  Also, did you get any information from
running 'nagios -v'?

I've just written a script that checks to see if the ndo2db daemon is
running and if it is not, deletes the sock file and restarts it. This is
how it runs in our current setup. It's just a simple shell script, but
it gets the job done.

Re: Notification slow on Solaris - 27+ seconds spent in "set_all_macro_environment_vars(TRUE);"?

Following up on previous debug, in rc1 we have inserted a few more debug statements in base/utils.c:

> log_debug_info(DEBUGL_FUNCTIONS,0,"setting env variables ...\n");

                /* set environment variables */
                set_all_macro_environment_vars(TRUE);

> log_debug_info(DEBUGL_FUNCTIONS,0,"closing command file ...\n");

And we got this:

What can we do to lower this pretty large amount of time spend on setting the macro evn vars?

We're already running with use_large_installation_tweaks=1, but perhaps there are other helpful options touching the logic going on in set_all_macro_environment_vars?

We're at 3.0rc1, Solaris/SPARC, T1000.

Best regards,

Subject: State of Dependent Services
Message-ID: <1200335181.7803.63.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Can't seem to find this in the docs and I don't have a non-production
installation to play with at the moment so I figure I'll ask.

Say I have service A dependent on service B.  I get that checks of A are
suspended while B is down but I'm not clear on what state this time
appears in on the availability report for A.  Is there something like
"unknown" for services like "unreachable" for parent-child
relationships?

Thx,

Paul

Is there any way or any benefit to telling nagios it resides on a  
particular host?  It would appear to me that bit of information would  
be necessary to properly handle notifications and parenting.

Thanks.

Given this, you're running Solaris 10, which means you could use  
dtrace to find out in detail what's happening inside  
set_all_macro_environment_vars(), including exactly where the  
slowdown is.  I'm sure that info would be extremely helpful to the  
developers in solving the problem, assuming it's something in the  
code (anyone else see this on Solaris 10?).

Sorry I can't help more (personally, I'm running on Solaris 9 still,  
with only a handful of hosts, and don't see this behavior at all).   
Hmm, you might see if it's related to the size of your monitor base,  
too, by reconfiguring it to only check a dozen or so hosts & their  
services, keeping the rest of the config the same.

As far as HW goes, that box should be an ideal monitoring node-- 
capable of handling lots of simultaneous threads.

Assuming you set up your parents correctly (from the perspective of
Nagios), it'll drop itself into the right place.

And, no, there's no way to tell Nagios whic host it lives on, but again,
if you set up parents correctly, it won't matter.

Say Nagios lives on Box A, and that box plugs into Switch B.  You're
alos monitoring Box C, also attached to Switch B.

Switch B would have a parent of Box A, and Box C would have a parent of
Switch B.  When you look at the status map after setting that up, you'll
see Nagios happily hanging itself off Box A, since it's the topmost
parent of everything else.

Subject: Host check clarification
Message-ID: <D85B0F5F-06DE-4CE0-9E72-875F8F3F6ABF@frontierflying.com>

I need some clarification as to how exactly the host check determines  
if a host is down. In the default configuration, the check-host-alive  
command sends a single ping, which can be considered (obviously)  
either ok, warning, or critical. The host then has a  
max_check_attempts setting of three, which if I understand things  
correctly means it will try this check twice more, in rapid  
succession, before putting the host into a hard state. My question is  
what is the logic if one of these three checks returns a different  
state than the other two? Say, for example, the first ping never makes  
it back, therefore returning a critical state, but the second and  
third come back, giving OK states? is the host then considered up or  
down? Thanks!

Any OK state will reset the retry counter, because it means the host is
up.

Subject: Plugin help
Message-ID: <389248.63717.qm@web46008.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>

Hi all,
I need some help installing plugins for monitoring HP arrays.  I'm a Linux/nagios newbie so please bear with me. 

I'm using nagios on vmware (Debian OS).  When I try and use some HP monitoring plugins I have been getting permissions errors.  I haven't been able to set my permissions correctly to fix the problem.  One of the plugins states that the sudoers file needs to be edited so that hpacucli has admin permissions.  I don't have that file and even when I create it the plugin still doesn't work.   Here's the error:  "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hparray
Usage: check_hparray -s Usage: check_hparray [-h | --help] Usage: check_hparray [-V | --version] NOTE: HPACUCLI needs administrator rights. add this line to /etc/sudoers nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hpacucli" 
 
The plugin instructions also state:  "In your nrpe.cfg add for example:
command[check_hpraid_slot1]=/opt/nrpe/libexec/check_hparray -s 1
command[check_hpraid_slot2]=/opt/nrpe/libexec/check_hparray -s 2
Will be look something like this in Nagios Status information:
---snipp---
RAID OK - (Smart Array P400 in Slot 1 array A logicaldrive 1 (68.3 GB, RAID 1+0, OK) array B logicaldrive 2 (68.3 GB, RAID 1+0, OK)) 
---snipp---"
I haven't messed with this so maybe that is also part of the issue.

Here's the plugin that I've been trying to use.  http://www.nagiosexchange.org/RAID_Controller.58.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=961&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=10%3A10  (Although I've tried all the ones that say HP on them from this site).  

I think I have hpacucli successfully installed but I'm not so sure since plugin still won't work.
Can anyone suggest a good HP plugin or some things that I can try to get the ones I have to work?  I'm trying to monitor Windows servers.  Mainly dl360, 370 and 380's.

Thanks for your help!
Steve

Subject: Disable/Enable Service Checks based on Host State
Message-ID: <00aa01c85709$7d392b80$77ab8280$@com>

I want Nagios to refrain from performing active service checks while a host
is down and re-enable them on its recovery.  The only way I can think of
doing this is with event handlers except I will run into the problem of
re-enabling a service someone may have manually disabled in the web
interface.

I am running Nagios 3.0rc1.

Any ideas?

Message-ID: <OF5EEE5176.FECC4D03-ONC12573D1.0033FAEA-C12573D1.003226AB@prokom.pl>

                                        Hello list,

                I have instaled Nagios 2.9 on my Slackware machine with 
Apache 1.3. I would like to install Nagios Lookin Glass too. But it 
requires Apache 2. Am I forced to  install Apache 2 and reconfigure Nagios 
to be able to use Nagios Looking Glass ?

Thank you for a help.

Best regards

Mariusz

Subject: Does alert re-escalate when text of alert changes?
Message-ID: <478C9212.4030006@tamalesoftware.com>

Greetings,

We manage a bunch of servers using passive NSCA alerts, many of which
are custom alerts we wrote ourselves, that spool to a central Nagios server.

One of these alerts concerns the status of the RAID array on the
servers.  When something disrupts the array and it needs to rebuild, the
alert goes into WARNING state, and the text that follows the WARNING
shows (among other things) the percentage done that the rebuild is.

It seems that every time that percentage increases and our passive alert
script spools a message with the new percentage in it (but the same
status, WARNING, as the old message), the central Nagios server treats
this as a new alert and follows the configured escalation path over again.

I'm wondering (a) am I interpreting this correctly, i.e., am I correct
that this is why this alert keeps getting escalated over and over, and
(b) is there any way, short of removing the percentage from the alert
text so that the message is static, of preventing the repeated escalation?

Thanks,

  Jonathan Kamens

Thanks for your reply. I was able to install opmon agent onto our server, and aside from reconfiguring the

Hi there ? 



I am trying to get NSClient 2.01 to run on Windows Server 2003 Storage Server. The installation process appears 

to go without a problem, and there is a Nagios Agent heading in the Services window. However, whenever I try to 

run NSClient, the program cannot start, and the error message that appears indicates the program closed 

unexpectedly. I tried running NSClient in Windows 2000 compatibility mode with the same result.

Message-ID: <a261d6d80801150514y333da605s154fa15c9d2317ae@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Nagios users,

We are using Nagios NRPE to monitor some HPUX 11i  machines.
Can we use GNU-gcc to compile Nagios NRPE to HPUX11i? or we must use HPUX -C
compile?
Is any thing specials (parameters?) when we compile Nagios NRPE?
Is any Nagios plugin/checks for HPUX 11i?

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Thanh Ngoc Tran

As far as I am aware, NagVis requires the data in a database, via NDO
and there is no easy way to bypass this requirement.

 

It causes some pain for me too, I 'need' the 'nice' visuals that NagVis
produces, but the instability of NDO is a real pain.

I think I do have all of the parenting set up correctly, but the  
Nagios process appears in the status map in the center, not attached  
to anything.  Should Nagios be at the top of my parenting chain?   
Rather, the nagios host?

You can make nagios depend on another host or device, that should solve your
problem.

Subject: Solaris 10 SMF, Getting NRPE to run as user nagios
Message-ID: <6F41C23E99FC594D90E848FA564234313226F50B40@TBEMAIL.corp.local>

I have NRPE running on Solaris 10 SPARC under SMF, but the only way I could get it to run as user nagios is if I set SUID on the nrpe executable.

This is the output inetadm -l svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default

SCOPE    NAME=VALUE
         name="nrpe"
         endpoint_type="stream"
         proto="tcp"
         isrpc=FALSE
         wait=FALSE
         exec="/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i"
         arg0="/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe"
         user="nagios"
default  bind_addr=""
default  bind_fail_max=-1
default  bind_fail_interval=-1
default  max_con_rate=-1
default  max_copies=-1
default  con_rate_offline=-1
default  failrate_cnt=40
default  failrate_interval=60
default  inherit_env=TRUE
default  tcp_trace=FALSE
default  tcp_wrappers=FALSE

user="nagios" , but if I don't do the SUID I get in the system log:
nrpe[10222]: [ID 306117 auth.error] Error: NRPE daemon cannot be run as user/group root!

I've searched the web and the archives to no avail. Does anyone have experience running NRPE under SMF? Any concerns about running it SUID? Thanks so much.

let us assume nagios is called "localhost" and let us assume that this is
the host definition for nagios

define host{
        use                     linux-server
        host_name          localhost
        alias                   localhost
        address               192.168.1.1
        parents                *local-router*
        }

The above host definition applies to the local nagios server and it shows
that it depends on a router. On your nagios status map - nagios server will
depend on the local-router.

I think I do have all of the parenting set up correctly, but the Nagios
process appears in the status map in the center, not attached  
to anything.  Should Nagios be at the top of my parenting chain?   
Rather, the nagios host?

Tom,

Thanks for the reply, but my original question is not answered by the  
FAQ you linked.  That sorta leads me toward the correct answer to a  
question I've posted since, but that question was asked in response to  
someone's reply to my original question.

So, apparently I need to re-pose the question I originally asked,  
since some seem to be confused.

In regards to parenting and unreachable notifications, is there any  
way to tell the nagios process where within the hierarchy it resides,  
or is this figured out automatically?  At least in my mind, I'd need  
to know where I was on a map to know what was between me and my  
destination to figure out if the problem was somewhere in between, or  
with my destination.

Thanks.

Eric Crist

Thanks, that does indeed look excellent.

However the pricing is ~6x higher and for my application I'm looking for 
something "cheap and cheerful"

Hi Eric,

Ok, My Bad.

Not sure this cures everything but have you read and distilled the
following 2 sections from Nagios "Theory of operation"?

Determine status and reachability of network hosts
Network outages

Hope that helps, And if it doesn't, then im sure some one with much more
experience will help ya.

Regards

Tom

Tom,

Thanks for the reply, but my original question is not answered by the
FAQ you linked.  That sorta leads me toward the correct answer to a
question I've posted since, but that question was asked in response to
someone's reply to my original question.

So, apparently I need to re-pose the question I originally asked, since
some seem to be confused.

In regards to parenting and unreachable notifications, is there any way
to tell the nagios process where within the hierarchy it resides, or is
this figured out automatically?  At least in my mind, I'd need to know
where I was on a map to know what was between me and my destination to
figure out if the problem was somewhere in between, or with my
destination.

Thanks.

Eric Crist

You could run nagios or nagios looking glass on different ports with
different versions of apache.  If you want both services on port 80 I
believe you would have to setup nagios to work with apache2.

Thank you for a help.

Are you sure your device supports SNMP v1?

What happens if you just do?

Snmpwalk -v 1 -c public <your-Ip-Address>

I get the following returned

Message-ID: <989aee610801150847v4b35adaeqed914e9b963daead@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everybody!
I have performance problem now
There are 5700 hosts and  7058 services in my nagios. Server-RHEL3,
Nagios 2.5,8gb RAM,8 CPUs.All checks are active. Hosts checks
disabled.
Performance is awful! It can't perform all checks for an hour! When I
had 3000 services the performance was great-all tests made in 5 min.
Our environment increases fastly. So, I want to know how many services
nagios can perform maximally in 5 min?
I made tuning of nagios. All performance tips from docs and inet.
But now I see that nagios works bad when it has 7000 service checks.
Maybe version 3.0 will solve my problems?

Help me please!:( I am in despair.

Kristine

Hello all, I installed nagios with apt on Debian etch.
It's working fine since 1 year.
I'm trying to check with nrpe some additional services, like disk space
memory occupation, processor usage and so on in my windows 2k3 server.
If nrpe isn't a good solution for this check suggest me other things.
I need more info about this so I hope that someone could give  me some
documentations with examples about my configuration.

Excuse me for my english.

Nagios assumes it lives as the next hop after the last defined parent in
a chain. 

Nagios <- parent <- parent <- parent <- host


If there's something else in-between that you haven't defined as a
parent, nagios has no way to figure out that relationship so everything
between nagios and the last defined parent will be DOWN (including the
last parent) and all others would be UNREACHABLE.

Nagios <- (down host) <- down parent <- unreachable parent <- u parent
<- u host

Nagios is all about monitoring services. Because you know which
systems/services are vital and which systems/services need to be
monitored the configuration of Nagios is a job for a human.

Hi Eric,

 The "automatic" part is that Nagios will show as connected to any host 
without a parent defined. If a host has a parent, it will display 
connected to that. I always make the Nagios host the only one without a 
parent. Then Nagios will only show connected to that host. I've never 
seen the Nagios process not connected to anything, but I've never had 
all machines with parents. The tree has to start somewhere :) Not to 
state the obvious, but you do know the whole parenting/unreachable 
configuration is based on the Nagios server's view of the world, which 
may vary from physical reality some, yes?

Any chance playing with different Status Map layouts would help?

Looks excellent - but I have question about the install. Its says to
move the nagvis folder (assuming the root nagvis folder which is
nagvis.1.2.2 or w/e) to the /usr/nagios/share folder. I don't have
that folder structure for nagios. I have /usr/share/nagios... ??

Message-ID: <C35BB445AA3EF34499C9E043A9594A0801546BAC@MONROE.niag.com>

I am using the following service to check the power supply on my dell
power edge system.

 

define service{

       use                              generic-service

       host_name                   DHCP server

       service_description        Power Supply

       check_command           check_snmp!-C public -o
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.200.10.1.9.1

      }

 

The problem is it reports as ok no matter what snmp returns as the
value. When it is normal it returns 3 and Nagios says the system is OK.
I pull the power cord on one of the redundant power supplies and it
returns 4 and Nagios still says it's OK

Anyone have any ideas?

 

System Running on

RHES 4.5

Nagios 3.0rc1

You have to specify some sort of boundaries, as specified in the '--help' for check_snmp.  Nagios can't read your mind...yet.

- This plugin uses the 'snmpget' command included with the NET-SNMP
package.
  If you don't have the package installed, you will need to download it
from
  http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net before you can use this plugin.
- Multiple OIDs may be indicated by a comma- or space-delimited list
(lists with
  internal spaces must be quoted) [max 8 OIDs]
- Ranges are inclusive and are indicated with colons. When specified as
  'min:max' a STATE_OK will be returned if the result is within the
indicated
  range or is equal to the upper or lower bound. A non-OK state will be
  returned if the result is outside the specified range.
- If specified in the order 'max:min' a non-OK state will be returned if
the
  result is within the (inclusive) range.
- Upper or lower bounds may be omitted to skip checking the respective
limit.
- Bare integers are interpreted as upper limits.
- When checking multiple OIDs, separate ranges by commas like '-w
1:10,1:,:20'
- Note that only one string and one regex may be checked at present
- All evaluation methods other than PR, STR, and SUBSTR expect that the
value
  returned from the SNMP query is an unsigned integer.

Based only on what you've supplied above, you're not supplying any
warning or critical values for check_snmp to compare against. Since
there is so much variability in what can be queried by SNMP, there are
no default values.

check_snmp --help

It doesn't look like you are giving it a warning or critical
range. Are you checking the value returned?

I'm using NDO with 11 distributed nagios servers instances and over 15k
services fine, thanks!

Nagvis is running fine either, thanks! Service and Hostgroup views of
products, thanks!

I'm very thankful by the way! :)

Cheers

Hi,

Yes, you can have NagVis query your Nagios CGIs to pull the
information it uses, this is of course much less efficient than using
NDO and is also covered well in the NagVis documentation :).

The CGIs were the only method NagVis used to use before NDO was stable
enough to be used; yes, NDO has a few wrinkles (escaping of event
descriptions has bugs for example) but is on it's way to being very
stable .. and it is already very efficient :) and flexible.

Hi Brian,

Happy to help though I think NagVis has it's own mail lists :)

You would install it under the nagios folder, so it would be

/usr/share/nagios/nagvis

> Also, does nagvis allow you to "build" the hostextinfo.cfg file graphically?

While NagVis does allow you to associate custom icons and labels (and
even make a custom popover window for devices if you want) for devices
OR services OR sub-maps, the format it uses is unique to NagVis and is
not compatible with hostextinfo.cfg.

I got NagVis installed but I have to say, I'm fairly disappointed -
but perhaps only because I don't know what I'm doing yet and I haven't
figured out what I need to do to get on its mail list. At any rate, I
was hoping for an easy way to build the visual representation of my
infrastructure and NagVis appears to require you to add each device
and then add the parenting line too!

So, back to the original question - at least for now - anyone gotten
nagiosmap.pl to work correctly? I've gotten it to load, but its not
importing the current hostextinfo.cfg.

Thanks again!

Hi list

I am pretty confuesed here so i hope that someone can help me.
I have written a script in perl that sends sms to my mobile. When an event occur in nagios the script is enabled and it is working. What my script does is to send a string to my phone, so i need to feed the script with the output from nagios when an error occurs, but i can't seem to find out how to do this.

So what i want is 

host XXX is down
send this string to my script
send sms with string from nagios.

really hope that someone in here can help me.

Hi Mikael,

You need to setup your notify command to use the macros available in
Nagios to get the output you want

On my Nagios setup, the Notify command for service notifications looks like this

echo -e "<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >>
/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/var/gnokii.log 2>&1

For host notifications this does the job

echo -e "<$HOSTNAME$>\n$SERVICEDESC$\n$SERVICESTATE$\n$HOSTOUTPUT$\n$LONGDATETIME$"
|gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ >> /usr/local/nagios/var/gnokii.log
2>&1

For more detail on macros in Nagios, look at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html

Hi Peter				

I have read about the macros before but what i don't understand is how i send this info to my perl script. I have to read it from somewhere but im not sure where to look for it.
The echo command will write to command line can i then read the output to my script?

Hi Mikael,

Pipe the output of the echo command to your perl script. In my
example, I pipe all of the echo output to gnokii, which takes care of
sending the SMS.

Yes, it is a tool to do custom visualizations :); for example at one
client I work for I have taken .jpg exports of the Visio diagrams for
network segments and placed Nagios host icons over those; another map
for this client shows logical groupings of web/app/db/ldap servers for
3 environments one on screen, which developers and integrators use as
a dashboard

I am definitely going to check that tool out, sounds interesting.

Have you done any troubleshooting at all you can share with us? Basic  
troubleshooting like verifying that NRPE is running on the machine,  
that it actually runs under the new glibc? Does netstat show it  
listening? Does nrpe debug mode show anything interesting? Is nrpe  
running as a daemon or from (x)inetd? Have you verified that  
configuration in either case? If run from xinetd, is xinetd running?

Depending on the version differences, those could be non-trivial  
upgrades and may require a re-compilation of nrpe on that machine. Of  
course, I'm assuming that you are talking about nrpe. If not, please  
be more specific.

Can you run an lsof|grep nrpe to confirm that nrpe is listening and under the control of xinetd?

This is a common error that could have several causes --

Have you done any troubleshooting at all you can share with us? Basic 
troubleshooting like verifying that NRPE is running on the machine, 
that it actually runs under the new glibc? Does netstat show it 
listening? Does nrpe debug mode show anything interesting? Is nrpe 
running as a daemon or from (x)inetd? Have you verified that 
configuration in either case? If run from xinetd, is xinetd running?

Depending on the version differences, those could be non-trivial 
upgrades and may require a re-compilation of nrpe on that machine. Of 
course, I'm assuming that you are talking about nrpe. If not, please 
be more specific.

Some suggestions that make it work fine for me and the archives will
appreciate it --

Tools -> Options -> Preferences -> E-mail Options 
	-> Read all standard mail in plain text
	-> When replying -> Prefix each line...
	-> When forwarding -> Prefix each line...
	-> Prefix each line with: >
	-> Tracking Options: Deselect all and chose 'Never send a
response'. 

Tools -> Options -> Preferences -> Mail Format 
	-> Compose in this message format: Plain Text
	-> Internet Format -> Outlook Rich Text Options -> Convert to
Plain Text format.

With these options you still have the ability to view/respond to HTML
messages on a message-by-message basis.

Subject: timing of service checks .vs. notifications
Message-ID: <1200497416.25325.49.camel@devel.office.ancoso-development.de>


Hi all,

I am just thinking about the correlation of "check_interval" and
"notification_interval" in service definitions. 

A understand their relation as following: When a service enters a 
hard non-ok state, a notification gets sent out. The next service
check is rescheduled at now+check_interval (under normal circumstances
without special configuration).

When this time has come, and the service is still in a hard non-ok
state, nagios checks whether the timestamp of the last sent
notification is more than notification_interval ago. If yes, a new
notification is sent out; if no, no notification will be sent.

The next service check will be rescheduled again for
now+check_interval...

The basic question is: only when a *service-check event* results 
in an hard state, the logic for deciding whether to sent a 
notification or not will be triggered. I.e. it does not make 
sense to set check_interval=15 minutes and notification_interval=5
minutes, because notifications will only be sent when CHECKS OCCUR, 
i.e. not more than one per 15 minutes (in normal circumstances).

Is this correct? Or is there a separate "scheduling line" only
for notifications which is independent of the service checks?

When I am right (and notifications will be sent only on service-
checks), than it would make sense to set notification_interval
to a multiple of check_interval. Setting check_interval to 5
minutes and notification_interval to 8 minutes would not make
much sense because this would be "automatically rounded up to
the next service check time" (dont know how to express this better):

0min     5min     10min    15min    20min
CHECK    CHECK    CHECK    CHECK    CHECK
NOTIFY         x  NOTIFY         x  NOTIFY

(CHECK and NOTIFY are the times when a service check occurs
and a notification gets send. The small "x" marks the time
when the next notification COULD be sent according to
notification_interval).

Am I right here, too? ;-)



And what happends with notification escalations? There you can modify
the notification_interval for certain notifications. But this modified
notification interval does not influence the check_interval for the
corresponding service, does it? So here the same as above applies:

Also the modified notification_intervals will be checked only when
a service check has been executed and nagios thinks a notification could
be sent... When the previous notification is "long enough ago" at the
time of the service check, the notification will be sent.

Right until here?


Thanks and best regards
-stefan-

Subject: Software Update Affecting Nagios
Message-ID: <223d58d500001721@lwdmz1.pinkardcc.com>

I'm currently monitoring a service on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 box.
After updating the software, the service name has changed. I've modified
the Nagios config file, verified and re-started.

 

When I try to verify from the command line with the following:

 

./check_nt -H {SERVER_IP} -s {PASSWORD} -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l
dltkprocessserver

 

I get the following error:

 

Connection refused

Could not fetch information from the server

 

In the Service Detail, it shows the following:

 

Host                             Service Status   Last Check
Duration            Attempt            Status Information

{SERVERNAME}           WARNING         01-15-2008 08:45:00       0d 17h
56m 7s  3/3                    dltkprocessserver: Unknown

 

It doesn't say the service is down, it just says unknown. I got the
process name from both a tasklist /svc and in the Services list in
Windows, have verified the spelling several times. Any ideas?

 

I'm running Nagios Version 3.0b5 on Debian Linux

It looks like nsclient (or whichever you are using) isn't running on
your windows machine or a firewall is blocking the connections.

Hi guys,

We have a cisco routers that has about 9 E1s and I will like to monitor
these interfaces and know when any goes down. The interfaces are not IP so I
can't use the regular check_ping command. Is there any command I can use to
to this?

Thanks

check_snmp_int.pl is a very good choice

I am new to Nagios and have over 100 hosts that I am checking.
Everything is working fine with the hosts check except I have 1 host that will go "down" and then next immediate check be "up".
This happens several times a day but the host appears not to have had a problem.
 
Any suggestions on what to check to resolve this problem as I suspect it is the host (Windows 2003 Server) not a network level problem.
 
thanks

I need some clarification as to how exactly the host check determines

max_check_attempts setting of three, which if I understand things  
correctly means it will try this check twice more, in rapid  
succession, before putting the host into a hard state. My question is  
what is the logic if one of these three checks returns a different  
state than the other two? Say, for example, the first ping never makes  
it back, therefore returning a critical state, but the second and  
third come back, giving OK states? is the host then considered up or  
down? Thanks!

As I said, it looks really cool and I'll certainly get back to it. I
was hoping for an option to quickly throw up the entire
infrastructure, showing their parenting, in a quick fashion is all -
since manipulating the placement of icons via the config file is a
MAJOR PIA. You would think this feature would already be a part of the
project, really.

Now that I do have Nagios in a mysql database, what other add-ons
utilize it? The documentation on it is pretty thin... I would assume
its very helpful when you have lots of Nagios servers feeding a
centralized one?

No, I have this problem with all the Windows Servers I'm monitoring, all
of them refuse connection from the command line, but work in the GUI.
Have been ok with it till now, but need to troubleshoot why this one
service is not responding even though it's up, and need to get the
command line issue resolved in order to do that.

I've tried check_nt CHECKDISPACE, and several other commands. The GUI
reports back on these just fine, but from the command line I constantly
get "connection refused"

service is not responding even though it's up, and need to get the
command line issue resolved in order to do that.

I've tried check_nt CHECKDISPACE, and several other commands. The GUI
reports back on these just fine, but from the command line I constantly
get "connection refused"

It looks like nsclient (or whichever you are using) isn't running on
your windows machine or a firewall is blocking the connections.

Hello and excuse for being a bit thicker.

Could you tell me why the following dependency:
define hostdependency {
        dependent_host_name             
GWMogo,GW2Mai,GWBane,GWAuBM,GWPlSH,GWPlSV
        host_name                       quagga
        notification_failure_criteria   d,u
        execution_failure_criteria      d,u,p
        }
yelds:
Checking for circular host and service dependencies...
Error: A circular execution dependency (which could result in a 
deadlock) exists for host 'quagga'!
Error: A circular execution dependency (which could result in a 
deadlock) exists for host 'quagga'!

Error: A circular execution dependency (which could result in a

Error: A circular execution dependency (which could result in a

?

It is the only dependency in my files.
Isn't this the correct way to telling Nagios that all those GW's depend 
on quagga shouldn't be checked or notified until quagga is up?

Thanks

HI,

Have a look on this page:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/dependencies.html

You have to make a define hostdependency section for each
dependent_host_name like on the bottom of the link above!

Please look at the FAQ too, because of differences in parent/child and
dependency setups.

Yes. Do you see successful access_log hits for them?

Message-ID: <3c4611bc0801161550l3d64aa7bo1aa2003c1fa2ed3b@mail.gmail.com>

Just FYI: I finally got another perl based GUI status map editor to
run (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Configuration.20.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5bp_view%5d=593)
- but not without some errors (illegal divisions by zero and such).
Hopefully I'll be able to use this for the "quick" method of layout I
need.

Of course I blew away my completely finished hostextinfo.cfg file and
will need to recreate it...fun! If you know of a quick and easy way to
do that, let me know! I'm thinking I can just combine my several host
files, search and replace the field names, etc..

Message-ID: <478EC7FB.5010908@compit.com.au>

Hi all,

I have a distributed monitoring setup where all of the hosts that are 
being monitored on over the internet. The problem I currently have is 
that the freshness tests are being done too quickly and it is sending 
out heaps of notifications saying that the information is stale.

Where is the best place to change this and what is the best value to 
have (time wise) with regards to this?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Scripted downtime question
Message-ID: <640bfc410801170052h3fbc7424lbfcaddf99c7a8c3a@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

We've been happily using nagios for a year and a half or so to monitor a
number of high performance linux clusters (total 200 nodes or so), plus
infrastructure hosts. All works nicely and it is highlighting issues well
before they become critical.

One thing I have not found good solutions for is down time for cluster
nodes.

Sometimes they are down briefly for maintenance, os reinstalls etc, and
turning off checks in the GUI sort of works, most of the time. But we also
turn machines off automatically, from other management software when they
are not needed for a while.

Does anyone have a way to script turning off checks and notifications for
individual hosts or hostgroups? The only way I have identified is the GUI.
If it is there built in I have failed to identify it in the docs.

Thanks,

--Ian

This comes up quite a lot on this mailing list. I think so far the best 
solutions are:

1.use timeperiods to repeatedly exclude the maintenance window on those 
service or host checks

or

2. send a passive external command to the command pipe of nagios (the 
thing NSCA and the gui use to send those instructions to Nagios - see 
External Commands in the nagios docs and you will need 
check_external_commands=1 in your nagios.cfg). This option gives more 
flexibility in fact that the timeperiods can even allow for if your 
scheduling is more irregular and not for example the same time every day 
or every week.

If you search the mailing lists you should find whole discussions on 
this too.

I tried splitting that into six different dependencies (one for each host).
With only two hosts, config check says ok. If I add another host (for a 
total of 3 hostst) I get 2 circular dependency errors.
Also, with 3 hosts, it reports checking for 6 dependencies.
If I leave it in the original form and I comment 
execution_failure_criteria, the config check yields no error, but this 
means the dependecies work only for notifications. I would like to stop 
executions based on dependecies and it seems that this is the problem. 
Could you help me with this?

Forgot to specify: Nagios 3.0b7

Thanks

Subject: bulk downtime or bulk acknowledge
Message-ID: <1200567882.5378.11.camel@munter>

Hi,

We're running a Nagios2 system that's monitoring ~300 hosts and ~700
services. We're finding it tedious to schedule downtime in the network
when the affected host count is high, or alternatively acknowledge that
many when something happens we didn't plan. We've optimised host groups
as much as we can, the problem we've struck however is dealing with
exceptions when you try to do a hostgroup level command.

Before we run off and start writing code to scratch our particular itch,
has anyone else come across a web based interface that makes bulk
downtime scheduling or bulk acknowledging less clicksome?

We really want it in a web interface, so the cli based alternatives
don't really meet our needs (though granted those cli based systems
might help in the backend).

cheers

Jamie

Message-ID: <20080117122853.0142458008C@desire.netways.de>

Hi list

Since I've updated my system to Nagios-2.10 I'm experiencing a strange problem. Wenn I start the daemon, everything looks fine:

  PID USERNAME  THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND
 3187 nagios      4  20    0 11728K  7104K kserel 0   6:30  0.00% nagios

  758 nagios      1  96    0  3652K  1032K select 0   0:02  0.00% nrpe2


but at random time suddenly a new nagios process occurs consuming 100% CPU. The Process state of this malfunctioning process ist RUN oder CPU1. 

I've started changing defaults of max_concurrent_checks or service_repeater_frequency (former value was the default of 0/10 meaning that Nagios can fork as many proccesses as needed.) 

I've already figured out, that it's not a special service-check that causes the problem. The problem happens with random checks.

I'm running Nagios on FreeBSD6.3 amd64, which I've upgraded also. So maybe there's a problem with the OS rather than Nagios itself? Unfortunately I haven't found any hint in any syslog-files so far.

Any ideas?

Hi Bernd				

oops, I sort of forgot the main thing. The actual problem:

Whenever this process occurs it's like a denial of service-attack. No checks are performed whatsoever. The only workaround (that I know) is to have a cronjob running once per minute finding and killing these jobs to make Nagios running properly again.

This thread and Andreas' response seem relevant --

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5Bmode%5D=1&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1%5BshowUid%5D=7100

otherwise you should use lsof and s/ktrace on the process to see what  
it's going. Then you can figure out what needs to change.

        }

I have the above service template. Sometimes the AV scans take longer than 4.5 hours to run and nagios sends an e-mail when one of the services is in
an unknown status (this is coming from a custom check script I wrote, that interfaces with the output of a clam-AV front end I also wrote).

We really only care to notify about warning and unknown status from the service checks that use this template between the hours of 6 am and 6, but we
care about critical alerts (it found a virus or scan hasn't run in x datys or freshclam has not run in y days) 24x7.

Is there a way to do mixed notifications so that warnings/unknown use time period 'workhours' and criticals/recovery use '24x7' in the same service
template?

Otherwise my choices are increase the check attempts or not notify between 6pm and 6am for everything.

Any input greatly welcome.

-J

Sounds like the fork/vfork issue with FreeBSD's libpthread and Nagios.

The only solution I know of is to add the following to /etc/libmap.conf
and then do a stop/start of Nagios:

[nagios]        
libpthread.so.2         libthr.so.2
libpthread.so           libthr.so

This forces Nagios to use an alternative POSIX threads library instead
of FreeBSD's default thread library.

I have written a couple of scripts which can be used for those purposes.
One of them schedules downtime.  The other turns on/off notifications at
a global, host or service level.

Subject: Problem with some NSCA packets getting corrupted on
	64-bit SLES 10
Message-ID: <7F477BD26F545A4C8E4779754A38EFB3037D262E@PEPWMV00043.corp.pep.pvt>


I've recently begun an effort to move our Nagios installation to a
distributed architecture from a centralized one.  I had previous used
NSCA only for a very few passive checks and it works fine on a 32-bit
Red Hat AS 3 platform (the centralized server).

In testing on a distributed architecture (which is 64-bit Suse Linux
Enterprise Server (SLES) 10), I seem to have a problem with NSCA.  (Note
that all Nagios and NSCA binaries and libraries were recompiled on the
64-bit platform).

After I broke out all the checks to have 2 separate distributed nodes
send to a central server, I saw a few messages like this one in the
nagios.log file:

[1200583727] Warning:  Passive check result was received for service '0'
on host 'HOSTXXX', but the service could not be found!

but only about every 1 out of 10 or maybe 20 results was doing this.
That is, the rest of the results were being correctly shown as "EXTERNAL
COMMAND" and all expected NSCA fields came up correctly (hostname,
service desc, check result, text output).

I started having the "send_nsca" script from the distbributed nodes log
what they were sending to a file.  When I correlate what they're sending
with what the NSCA daemon thinks it's receiving, the client is still
sending the correct 4 fields, but it's as if the NSCA daemon is dropping
the 2nd field (service desc) and replacing it with the check result
field.  So ultimately, it thinks the service name is '0'.

I can't see that this matches a pattern (i.e. always on the same hosts
or same service checks).  All I've seen so far is that it happens
whether I run NSCA as --single or --daemon.  It also happens even if I
turn off one of the distributed nodes (that is, I can't see it being
volume related).

I have turned on debugging in the NSCA daemon to see what it thinks it's
getting and it echoes what the nagios.log shows:

SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 'HOSTXXX', Service Description: '0', Return
Code: '0', Output: ' rta=0.140000 ms)'

Again, maybe only 1 out of 10.  Ultimately, this causes the server to
run an active check as it thinks it never got a result from the
distbributed node.

I'm still trying to dig deeper, but it seems to me that this is
increasingly pointing to some issue with 64-bit SLES.  Or perhaps some
variable type in NSCA daemon that's not quite right for 64-bit.  It's
hard to tell with its intermittent nature and the fact that I have yet
to discover a pattern.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Thanks

Mark

Thanks for sharing and posting your script.

You might also consider using check_procs + an eventhandler, which would 
give you the advantage of having some additional flexibility around how 
and when the process is restarted.

Out of curiosity, are you actually seeing ndo2db _die_, or just stop 
working?

Subject: Defining a contact_group for a hostgroup
Message-ID: <478F5EAF.F8B4.0061.0@buffalo.k12.mn.us>

Hey everyone,

I was looking for a way to define a contact group that would get notifications for all hosts in a particular hostgroup. I see that I can define a contact_group for a single host, but it doesn't appear to work at the hostgroup level. Am I missing something, or is there a better way than setting each host's contact_group individually?

That'd be cool...if only. :)

No, its not a production box yet, so there aren't any backups. And it
was a STUPID user (me) error that destroyed it.

Hi Jonathan				

I fixed it by rolling back to FreeBSD6.2, now Nagios is stable again.

HELLO OUT THERE, PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO UPGRADE TO FREEBSD6.3 IF YOU'RE RUNNING NAGIOS! AT LEAST NOT AT THE MOMENT. 

Seems to be a serious bug.

I'd definitely bring this up on the freebsd-stable mailing list, then.

I'm running 2.10 on 6-stable and 8-current, no troubles.

Message-ID: <9FA3207C038D744189A6C188A175F6B20258CAD3@bomb.secretlevel.com>

Nagios-Users,

 

Are there any definitive guides for monitoring a remote OSX 10.4 Server?

 

Ideally I'd like to do a minimum of configuration on the remote server
and looking at the guide located here:

 

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

 

I'm not convinced this will work for installation on OSX.

 

Has anyone done this before? Are there any caveats or alterations to
these instructions necessary for this to work on OSX?

 

Thank you very much for any help you can provide,

 

Lucas

The easiest way is to install macports from http://www.macports.org/

and simply run "port install nrpe"

Depending on what you want to monitor, snmp is likely your best bet. 
AFAIK, there's no gui for snmp on OSX, so you'll need to dive in to get 
it setup and running, but much is exposed, and there are various snmp 
based plugins available for Nagios.

Hi

I just added a new mail server and am having trouble getting check_smtp 
to check it properly.  This mail server is on a different network than 
my nagios server
HOWEVER, I can telnet to the standard ports ( 25 and 993 just fine)

check_smtp to another mail server on yet another network works.

Thanks Andy!

 

I am assuming I will also need to 'port install nagios-plugins'. Once I
get those both installed, I should be able to follow the NRPE.pdf file
instructions as if I were installing on a linux server?

 

Thanks again!

 

Lucas

The easiest way is to install macports from http://www.macports.org/

 

and simply run "port install nrpe"

Nagios-Users,

 

Are there any definitive guides for monitoring a remote OSX 10.4 Server?

 

Ideally I'd like to do a minimum of configuration on the remote server
and looking at the guide located here:

 

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

 

I'm not convinced this will work for installation on OSX.

 

Has anyone done this before? Are there any caveats or alterations to
these instructions necessary for this to work on OSX?

 

Thank you very much for any help you can provide,

 

Lucas

Yep.. Exactly.

macports installs into /opt/local instead of /usr/local, so you'll  
have to just change the paths around.


The installer should also place a link to the launchd plist to have  
launchd start it on bootup, but the plist is disabled by default, so  
if you want to enable starting on bootup, edit: /Library/LaunchDaemons/ 
org.macports.nrpe.plist  and remove:
<key>Disabled</key><true/>


Cheers!

--Andy

Hi Mariusz,

I think you sent me an e-mail through my website a couple of weeks ago.

If you can get PHP 5.2 running on Apache 1.3 - that's the main requirement.
I have heard of stability issues with PHP 5 on Apache 1.3 (that and coupled
with the fact the Apache Group don't recommend using Apache 1.3 unless you
have a module that doesn't work with 2.0/2.2) so I'd highly recommend
upgrading your existing 1.3 installation.

As Mark said, you could always run Apache 2 on a different IP/port, but it'd
be much easier just to upgrade Apache ;)

Subject: Service checks stop when using epn
Message-ID: <62D253B2A444E64890C922773332100182FBA8@usnjpar1blex04.us.ad.irmc.com>

My current nagios installation has outgrown it's current server, so I
built a new server from scratch and due to the number of perl plugins I
am using thought it would be in my best interested to embed perl when I
compiled my binary. The compile and install went fine, I fired nagios up
and it was running fine for a few minutes (5-15) then the service checks
stopped happening, and there isn't any additional information in the
log. 

 

I compiled a new binary this time with no perl and started things back
up and it ran perfectly and did so for some time, however at a much
higher cpu load. So I built a new binary this time I didn't add the perl
cache option, replaced the binary and it seemed to work, but then the
checks stopped a few minutes later.

 

I have reverted back to my basic nagios binary with out perl now and
things are working again, it would appear I am missing something to get
the epn to work but I can't seem to find. I thought I had seen something
in the mailing list before about this but can't seem to put my finger on
it.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Karl Yost

You should tell us what the problem is. Be very specific. We can't help
if we don't know and we aren't going to guess.

I don't recall seeing these symptoms before but generally speaking, not
all perl plugins are compatible with ePN. You might try testing them
with the mini-ePN distributed with Nagios (contrib dir) as well as
running nagios in debug mode to see what it's doing when it hangs.

Hi All

Sorry for the incomplete info, I do know better, really.  Pls forgive.

Anyways, below is the result I get when I manually run check_smtp
from my plugins directory.  This is on a redhat es4 machine running 1.2
nagios
(yes, very outdated I know).

[root at xxx plugins]# ./check_smtp mail.xxx.com
Socket timeout after 10 seconds
[root at xxx plugins]# ./check_smtp mail.yyy.com
SMTP OK - 0 second response time

* so check_smtp fails on one mail server but not the other
mail.xxx.com is behind the same firewall as the nagios server
but on a different network....
mail.yyy.com is on another network outside of the firewall
is there anything I should know about having nagios check_smtp server within
a firewall??

And of course, mail is working just fine.

You should tell us what the problem is. Be very specific. We can't help
if we don't know and we aren't going to guess.

Hey Lucas,

The macports install of NRPE is straightforward on OS X Server. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of things exposed via SNMP with OS X. I created a couple check scripts that you might find useful.

1. check_xserve uses Marcel Bresink's Hardware Monitor tool to monitor the on-board hardware sensors:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Hardware.56.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=1193

2. check_osx_services interfaces with the serveradmin command to check the status of the various built-in OS X services. I haven't added any Leopard-specific checks yet, but it will check a lot of stuff on Tiger. I need to add the performance data to the script output, but everything else works well at this point.

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Operating_Systems.157.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=1206

Please let me know if you try these and find problems. I don't have a lot of Xserves to test with.

-Tim

I am pluging performed various tests including the network that calls
netdiag(check_ad). I get one event of warning for the miniport Wan.
Is there any way to disable this test to Wan or any solution for not
having the event of the warning?

GetStats failed for 'Paralelo directo'. [ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED]
GetStats failed for 'Minipuerto WAN (PPTP)'. [ERROR_GEN_FAILURE]
[WARNING] The net card 'Minipuerto WAN (IP)' may not be working
because it has not received any packets.

Do a manual telnet on port 25 from the nagios server to the mail server in
connect and see if you can connect.

Dear Admin, 

is there any way to change the (misleading) subject to "nagios process with 100% after upgrading to FreeBSD6.3"?

The problem turned out to be FreeBSD6.3 and not Nagios-2.10

cheers,
Bernd

i think you mixed up these parameters. Open the file configure.in and search
for "ac_cv_ps_command". In the following lines you will find some examples. 
Btw, what happens if you don't use these parameters at all?

Hi List

i'm a newbie with nagios. I've just finished bringing it up on Ubuntu 7.10.
Next thing i want to do is to monitor key hosts on my network. the
documentation i have is silent on adding hosts or any kind of autodiscovery.
How do i go about it? Have i missed something or there is another guide to
do this?

Thanks!

There's no auto discovery in Nagios.

The documentation isn't completely silent actually... You can come a 
long way just by reading http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/toc.html 
just as Marc Powell suggested.

The config files distributed with Ubuntu might have some comments which 
can push you in the right directive.

Google-ing for 'nagios howto' or 'nagios documentation' gives loads of hits.

There are some books you might read... look at 
http://www.nagios.org/propaganda/books/

Regards,

Sander

Try running with verbose output. You should also perform the test as  
the nagios user. --

check_smtp -H mail.xxx.com -v

What version of the plugins are you using? There were a number of  
issues with check_smtp in old releases that have since been fixed.  
There was a problem similar to this with Exchange; it wouldn't QUIT  
properly or something like that. If you're using an older version and  
the verbose output above doesn't show anything interesting, try  
upgrading to the latest plugins or at least the latest check_smtp.

This is indeed the case, while at first it may seem as a major drawback
to the software, given time, you will realise that it's one of its best
features.

The effort you place into making Nagios work for you is the reason for
its value. If you look at other products with 'autodiscovery' features
you will often find that they discover useless hosts and services which
have no real impact in your overall service delivery.

By making you hand-tune your monitoring Nagios ensures that you only
monitor and alarm on what really matters.

Just my gem for a Friday.

Hi Everyone,
I installed ndoutil 1.4.7b on my centos server running mysql version 4.1.2.
I am trying the same installation on my debain etch 3.1 with mysql

/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg

Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported, or

I have installed the mysql libraries. Does this mean that ndoutil can't
install on mysql 5.0.32?

running ndoutils just fine.

Hi Everyone,

 

I installed ndoutil 1.4.7b on my centos server running mysql version
4.1.2. I am trying the same installation on my debain etch 3.1 with
mysql 5.0.32 and this is the message I get when I try to start ndo 

 

/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg

 

Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported,
or was not found on your system.

 

I have installed the mysql libraries. Does this mean that ndoutil can't

Subject: Bloody selinux on Fedora 8
Message-ID: <551DE5D9-870B-4965-AE8D-66B7DF3C3D90@umn.edu>

Nagios folks-

Has anyone resolved all of the selinux issues when installing nagios  
on Fedora 8?

Specifically, I am getting these:

type=AVC msg=audit(1200663995.088:64): avc:  denied  { read } for   
pid=3488 comm="ping" name="nagios.cmd" dev=dm-0 ino=16652317  
scontext=system_u:system_r:ping_t:s0  
tcontext=system_u:object_r:nagios_log_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file

type=AVC msg=audit(1200657768.283:14207): avc:  denied  { read } for   
pid=7676 comm="sendmail" name="nagios.cmd" dev=dm-0 ino=16652317  
scontext=system_u:system_r:sendmail_t:s0  
tcontext=system_u:object_r:nagios_log_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file

I don't know what effect the ping denies are having but all of my e- 
mail and page alerts are coming across with no content (I know they  
are from nagios because of the from-address but there is no subject or  
body text).

I followed this handy guide: http://www.rickwargo.com/2006/10/29/fc6-selinux-and-nagios/

But my problem persists. I've searched around and haven't found much  
that is helpful on the SELinux front as far as taking audit data and  
correcting your policies to allow things.

Has anyone else either had experience with SELinux and can help me  
correct these problems or is there a set of instructions geared more  
toward newer versions of Fedora that would provide the information?

Some system information:
Fedora 8 2.6.21-2952.fc8xen SMP
nagios-2.10-5.fc8
nagios-plugins-*-1.4.8-9.fc8
checkpolicy-2.0.4-1.fc8
policycoreutils-2.0.33-3.fc8
selinux-policy-devel-3.0.8-73.fc8
selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-73.fc8
selinux-policy-3.0.8-73.fc8
policycoreutils-gui-2.0.33-3.fc8

Thanks!

It looks like you need to add the following exceptions to your policy.

#============= ping_t ==============
allow ping_t nagios_log_t:fifo_file read;

#============= sendmail_t ==============
allow sendmail_t nagios_log_t:fifo_file read;

The easiest way would be to use audit2allow.  Try this.

ausearch -m AVC | audit2allow  -M nagios
semodule -i nagios.pp

Good Day to all, 

I finally got my NAGIOS setup pretty much the way that I like it.  I am
monitoring over 1000 devices, and I have 2 questions. 

1. When displaying the host group summary is there a way to group /sub
group the display.  For example at the moment I have 6 different type of
Microsoft 2003 Servers.  I have a group for exchange, a group for AD,
Ishare, etc.  A group of Linux boxes, HPUX, SUN and AIX.  What I would
like to do is to have a summary that would only give me the servers by
type, then a summary of the functions. Has anyone done this or some
thing similar. 

2. The Status Map, for the number of devices that I am monitoring when I
click on the status map, I get a "BLOB", icons on top of icons, etc.
Any way to clean this up?

Thanks for all your responses in advance. 

Luis

Sounds like hostgroups{} to group by type of box and servicegroups{} to
group by services provided. There is no 'nesting' capability. Am I
mis-interpreting?

Change the layout type or use a custom cords per object (hostextinfo{}).
With that many hosts though, you'll be challenged. Setting proper
parent's relationships will help. We have about 3000 devices and there
just isn't enough useful information in those maps to make that process
worthwhile for us so I don't have a whole lot of experience with it.

It may help to provide some information:

 

grep "db_" ndo2db.cfg ??

 

Can you confirm the database is running?

Hi Everyone,

 

I installed ndoutil 1.4.7b on my centos server running mysql version
4.1.2. I am trying the same installation on my debain etch 3.1 with
mysql 5.0.32 and this is the message I get when I try to start ndo

I have installed the mysql libraries. Does this mean that ndoutil can't

Yes, I know. That's why I said there was no nesting capability and
offered alternatives that I know of.

Luis,

It is currently not possible to set up a hierarchy in this way purely  
within Nagios.  If you need this sort of functionality you have to use  
3rd party software such as Opsview (http';//www.opsview.org/)

Hi All

it turned out to be a simple firewall issue.  the new mailserver was not 
allowed
to "respond" to the nagios checks.  what are the ports used by 
check_smtp ? 
i'm using whatever version of check_smtp  came with the install of 
nagios 1.2

Can't a single host belong to more than one hostgroup? It doesn't
allow you to "drill down" but it would still provide another drop-down
option.

Subject: NDO Troubles
Message-ID: <f8d1306a69ab.69abf8d1306a@kent.edu>

List, 


Today our NDOUtils broker...broke. I'm not entirely sure what happened,
but I can tell you what is going on and what I've done...
Nagios 2.10, 1.4.10 plugs on Ubuntu 7.10

This has been fine for about 3 months now. 

Today however, we started seeing some issues with the daemon. In the
event log of the nagios web interface it shows successful connections,
as does the nagios/mysql logs. Only problem is that in the Nagvis
interface it is showing that NDO is reporting Nagios as closed, or no
updates in more that 100 seconds. I'm leaning more towards a broken
Nagvis at the moment. I am the only person touching the Nagios box and
nothing has changed. I did try to add Bacula to this box, but have since
removed all relative packages that I installed. Has anyone
seen/experienced a similar issue with NDO? It's really frustrating, as
we have an IT auditor here today, and this is a big part of our audit
this year!!!

Subject: check_snmp_storage.pl returns "Put snmp login info!"
Message-ID: <91EDB00F83BAD443A9D05FA67623955A027C7E83@QMAIL.corp.questar.com>

I have the snmpd running on a client box.  I have nagois monitoring this
box without any issues.  I decided to implement a new plugin I found,
check_snmp_storage.pl.  From the "nagios server" I can issue this
command to the client box, and I get a valid response, e.g.
 
[root at nagois_server ]# su - nagois
-sh-3.00$    cd /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
-sh-3.00$    ./check_snmp_storage.pl -H star -C public -m /temp -w 95 -c
98 -f
/temp: 2%used(35MB/1984MB) (<95%) : OK | '/temp'=35MB;1885;1945:0:1984
-sh-3.00$
 
But, when I implement this plugin in Nagios, I get the following
response:  "Put snmp login info!"
Why does the plugin work from the shell prompt, but fails when run from
Nagios?
 
My service is defined as:
 
define service{
    use                            generic-service
    host_name                star
    service_description    snmp /temp Free Space
    is_volatile                    0
    check_period            24x7
    max_check_attempts    3
    normal_check_interval    5
    retry_check_interval        1
    contact_groups            linux-admins
    notification_interval        1440
    notification_period        24x7
    notification_options        w,u,c,r
    check_command        check_snmp_storage!-C public -m /temp -w 95 -c
98 -f!
    }
 
My command is defined as:
 
define command{
    command_name    check_snmp_storage
    command_line    $USER$/check_snmp_storage.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
    }
 
Can anyone help me here?

$USER$ won't get you much, I don't think.  Maybe you meant $USER1$ ?

$USER$ won't get you much, I don't think.  Maybe you meant $USER1$ ?

OK.  That error looks vaguely like an SNMPv3 login failure.

What do you see when you run the plugin from the command-line with a 
'-v' at the end?  It should show you the SNMP version:

Reading the check_snmp_storage code again, I see that you'll get that error if
you haven't specified a community.  Looking at your check_command in the
service definition:

>>     check_command        check_snmp_storage!-C public -m /temp -w 95 -c 98 -f!

...you have an unnecessary trailing '!' on the check_command, which I think
will be silently ignored, based on your command_line def), but I can't recall
whether or not spaces in the ARGn macros are legal (I think not, but the docs
don't specify and I haven't tested).

The usual form is something like:

In your checkcommand def:

..
command_name  check_foo
command_line  $USERn$/check_foo.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$
...

In your service def:

...
host_name	somehost
check_command  check_foo!arg1value!arg2value!arg3value
...

Can you try formatting your commands as such?

Subject: nagios bind to specific ip
Message-ID: <789409.3731.qm@web62405.mail.re1.yahoo.com>

Can I configure nagios to bind to specific ip address? I have 2 ips 10.0.1.14 and 10.4.0.65. 10.0.1.14 is NAT to the gateway. while 10.4.0.65 is for the network 10.4.0.0/24. 

If 10.4.0.65 is up, I can see an error in my logs in 10.4.0.0/24 network cause only allowed to run this plugins is from 10.0.1.14.
This plugins is to check if radius is running or not.

Can I bind in nagios that all plugins will run on 10.0.1.14 ip?

Subject: Howto monitor intermittent clients
Message-ID: <4791D03B.7060809@telcotec.se>

Hi All,

I know this is a bit of an odd one, but still:

I'm looking for ways of monitoring intermittent
clients, i.e. client computers that are not always
there, like laptops that come and go or similar,
clients that gets switched off after work hours.

Ideally, without installing anything on the clients,
so that sort of rules out passive checking. Instead,
I would like to use active checking (e.g. using SNMP),
but configured in a way so that when a host is unreachable
or down, that's OK, and the services needn't be checked.
Whereas if the client host is on line, all defined
services should be checked and issue alarms and so on
if check results in CRITICAL or WARNING, as per usual.

Any ideas appreciated
/Lars

Make sure you can ping them. Then setup a service to do that at a
relative high rate. And make all other services dependent on that ping
service. Then say you do not care about unreachable services.

Just make sure that ping reaches a hard state before any service can
reach a hard state.

Hi All,

I new to nagios and its installation.
I have following queries:
1. Are nagios and nagios-plugins pre-build binaries for OpenSolaris
available on the net?
If yes, whats the URL?
2. Also, has anyone build nagios on Solaris/Open Solaris?
If yes, what are the tweaks needed in Makefile necessary for Makefile in

Thanks,

What effort have you put into this quest? There is no mention of any
effort from your side to answer these questions before you posted them here.

As such I think you need to show you have taken some effort to look for
some results.

Did anyone allready write up a spec file for the software dated

waste time on duplicates.

The plugins are not able to bind to specific IP's when sending out  
traffic. They use the IP of the interface defined by your routing  
tables as the best route to the destination. The easiest option would  
be to make the 10.0.1.14 IP the base IP on your interface and the  
other the alias.

Hi,

I might have missed something trivial here but it seems I am not getting
any graphs build and I end up with a lot of small files on a pretty new
installation on Centos 5.1 with Nagios 2.10

Nagios is runing fine for the current handfull of hosts in the config.
So I decided I wanted to give NagiosGrapher a spin.

I did the usual peeking into the INSTALL documents and such. Then I did do:
~ - autoconf
~ - ./configure --with-distro=redhat --with-layout=redhat
	(Not sure why it detected Centos as distro "red-hat" without it)
~ - make install
~ - Punch in the config section as indicated in the posting of january
3rd and shown after 'make install'.
~ - service nagios-grapher restart
~ - chkconfig nagios-grapher on
~ - nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg (Which is just fine)
~ - service nagios restart

I now see the performance data in /var/log/nagios like:
- -rw-r--r--  1 nagios nagios    82 Jan 19 15:40 service-perfdata
- -rw-r--r--  1 nagios nagios     0 Jan 19 15:15 service-perfdata.1200752167

That does not seem right to me. This way I will eventualy run out of
inodes here.

I guess I missed something not listed in the documents.

The one thing that strikes me as rather odd in ngraph.ncfg is:

~    fontfile
/usr/local/rrdtool/share/rrdtool/fonts/DejaVuSansMono-Roman.ttf

But I can find no error or warning towards this item in the logs. (in
fact ngraph.log is in fact empty.)

I found the first issue. In the rc there is the line:
DAEMON=/usr/lib/nagios/contrib/nagios_grapher/collect2.pl

But there is not even an directory called /usr/lib/nagios/contrib

The file was in fact installed in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/contrib/

In this regard the value in the Fedora init script is better as this
part of the diff shows:
- --- nagios_grapher.fc   2007-08-10 17:05:31.000000000 +0200
+++ nagios_grapher.redhat       2007-08-10 17:05:31.000000000 +0200
- -DAEMON=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/contrib/collect2.pl
+DAEMON=/usr/lib/nagios/contrib/nagios_grapher/collect2.pl

Fixing the issue and adding the perl-GD package did result in the
startup of the daemon.

The files are now read as I would expect them to be.

But I am not yet getting any graphs. Int he logs it seems all of the
lines are ignored.

In the ngrap.ncfg file I have:

# Includes
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/ngraph.d

And I copied the template file for ping to this directry and made sure
the file was now named check_ping.ncfg but this did not work yet. I then
renamed the file to PING.ncfg and this time the restart seems to get it
right.

Is this a known issue with the names of the template files? Must they
match the service name exactly?

Install Pkgsrc (www.pkgsrc.org) and report build problems to

The CGI module is just an Apache/HTTPD addon code module, and Apache can
be easily bound to single IP on a multi-homed system using VirtualHost
containers.

As for the HC modules, the ad-hoc child process fork()/exec() model
makes it difficult, but I would assert that the lack of a standard
argument model for binding/sourcing check traffic is a serious design
flaw.

Actually I would do it using exported environmental variables.

Best solution I imagine (but haven't tested) is to run Nagios inside a
FreeBSD jail.

Show us your ocsp_command and ochp_command mappings.  Are you calling a
piped command from checkcommands.cfg or calling an external shell
script?

I guarantee you the comma (",") in results is being mapped into a field
delimiter, which confuses nscad(8).

For WinNT, best to install Net-SNMP agent daemon.  The HOST-RESOURCES
MIB will mostly be mapped.   Check things with check_snmp*.

First of all, let's set a real topic that will get people's attentions

Second, you mention wanting to check win2k RAID array status, but you
also mention VMWare and Debian.

Are you running Debian in a VMWare guest VM?  What OS is the Hypervisor
running? 

Do you want to _remotely_ check win2k HP raid arrays? 

As far as debian goes, you will only be able to run Debian as the
Hypervisor OS and check the HP RAID array of the hypervisor _locally_.

You want to check HP raid array using hpacucli? 

I imagine this is one of the black magic binaries like Dell / AMI / LSI
Logic megacli/megarc that will only work with special kernel hacks and
modules, and of course, proper sudo permissions.

You don't even need that. Obviously you won't need to know then these
systems are down, so just set the "notification_options" to "n" in the
host setup and you'll never get paged when the host is down.

Nagios check logic is to make sure a host is up before sending a service
alert. If the host is down, you get HOST DOWN notification instead of
any service alert, and obviously id you disable host notifications
you'll get nothing.

Take note of the following:

If you need to monitor many hosts, you will likely be more comfortable
with Nagios 3 as it can schedule host checks instead of running them in
serial, which can be a problem if many hosts are down.

Ideally use check_icmp instead of check_ping and fine-tune the
parameters so that it returns within one second on dead hosts. This will
make the host check be performed much faster. This is most useful in
Nagios 2 due to the limitation mentioned above.

The tricky part is host coming back up. On some systems the network
comes up before all services are up so you'll get notifications for
these services. There's no easy way around that, but personally I'd look
into event handlers.

You could set-up an event handler for hosts and:

- - When a "volatile" host goes HARD DOWN, disable notifications for all
services by sending the appropriate command to the host.
- - When a "volatile" host goes HARD UP, sleep 1 or 2 minutes then enable
notifications for all services. You will probably have to fork before
any sleep in your event handler to avoid blocking Nagios...

Just to follow up, I did test, and they're legal, so you can ignore my previous
post about adjusting the format of your command defs.

I installed Nagios with a MySQL backend. Each time I try to turn on the
nagios server (the MySQL server is running on it) after a clean
shutdown, I find the status tables corrupt. Nagios fails to start till
I repair the tables, any idea?

Thank you

What is the order of startup and shutdown of the nagios and mysql processes?

Because you want nagios to start after mysql and mysql to stop after nagios.

here are the details of the problem is am facing:

Platform: OpenSolaris
Nagios version: 2.10
Nagios plug-in version 1.4.11

compiler: gcc

bash-3.00# make install-config
./install-sh -c -m 775 -o nagios -g nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc
./install-sh -c -b -m 664 -o nagios -g nagios sample-config/nagios.cfg
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
install:  -b does not exist
make: *** [install-config] Error 1


Same "-b does not exist " occurs while building nagios plugins.

Has anyone faced this problem before??

I think they are in the correct order, please have a look:
rc3.d/
S19mysql -> ../init.d/mysql
S30nagios -> ../init.d/nagios

rc0.d/
K18nagios -> ../init.d/nagios
K21mysql -> ../init.d/mysql

Any ideas?

No, to my understanding they can be named anything, but the files
has to have the .ncfg at the end. The actual matching takes place
in the service_name statement of the .ncfg file against the
service_description of the nagios service definition. I have, on
the other hand, been bitten by the permission of the files. The
files need to be owned by nagios, if indeed nagios is the process
owner of collect.pl.

Not sure what you mean there, but here's an rpm spec file for rc5:
<http://www.linadd.org/browser/trunk/nagios/grapher/grapher.spec.in>.
We've tried the latest package, the one labeled "latest" (the one
after rc5), but never got that one working, so we're sticking with
rc5 for the moment.

That is not a spec file. It is a template to it. Bur a far cry from a
working spec file. And I guess it is even another addon with a similar name.

> Hi Stephen,

have you checked your database ? I mean, I installed NDO-utils with all
default values and my database grew to 3+ Gigabytes in a few days, because
of all servicechecks and external commands that were stored. The database
grew and grew, until the system couldn't cope anymore.
So I tweaked ndo a bit, not to store all external commands for example
(distributed environment).

Message-ID: <4b008f7d0801202340t88fbfc1sc1dc873e0d63872f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,
I just installed nagios on a new server, I backed up the etc folder of
nagios from the old server and put it on the new server. I checked nagios
and nagios is running on the new server. However, when I try to browse
nagios, I get a blank page. Here is the error from apache logs

(13)Permission denied: exec of '/usr/local/nagios/sbin/status.cgi' failed,
referer: http://192.168.0.5/nagios/side.html
[Mon Jan 21 07:26:03 2008] [error] [client 192.168.0.54] Premature end of
script headers: status.cgi, referer: http://192.168.0.5/nagios/side.html

It seems like a permission problem but I can't place my finger on it.

I get this problem about once a week.

In order to resolve it, I stop Nagios, stop NDO, restart mysql, drop the
Nagios database, recreate the Nagios database, start Nagios and start
NDO.

Once done everything works again. If I don't restart mysql I cannot drop
the Nagios database within the mysql client and sometimes I need to
expressly kill (-9) both Nagios and Mysql.

Well, you're right, it is a template, I just thought it could
serve as a good starting point. We use it and it works.

No, it's the NagiosGrapher addon, we've just decided to use a slightly
different naming convention, nagios-plugins, nagios-grapher, etc.

Hi,

How can I disable SSL support in "/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg" config file?

PS: We don't want to solve the problem by adding -n option at 
/etc/init.d/nrpe script.

Subject: Determining the success or failure of external
	commands
Message-ID: <b4ca0c840801210833y6df26a6bpc582d4b36f506ac7@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I am working on implementing some functionality that will allow me to safely
expose nagios.cmd to external hosts. In my environment there are maintenance
tasks that run periodically which disrupt certain services, causing nagios
to start generating alerts. Needless to say, I am tired of having my cell
phone go crazy when this happens. (Especially in the middle of the night.)
Initially I created a simple page in php that schedules downtimes depending
on the request values given to it. This worked for a while, but I quickly
ran into the problem of some commands being placed into the nagios.cmd pipe
taking 30-45 seconds to be processed and others being incorrectly formatted.
What I want to implement now is a way for my extremely simplistic "API" to
report back on the success or failure of commands passed to it. I know that
nagios can write EXTERNAL COMMAND: entries to syslog, but I'm not sure how
to determine the results of these commands.

Any suggestions or input on my approach would be greatly appreciated.

It's not mentioned in the documentation, command line help, sample
config file or within the function read_config_file() in nrpe.c. I think
it's pretty safe to assume it's not a config file option.

Subject: debugging notifications
Message-ID: <4794D706.2050707@int-edu.eu>

i have a problem with my script to send notification by jabber.

i have put on my command file

define command{
       command_name    notify-by-jabber
       command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/notify_by_jabber 
$CONTACTEMAIL$

$SERVICEDE
SC$ Host: $HOSTALIAS$ Address: $HOSTADDRESS$ State: $SERVICESTATE$  
Date/Time: $
LONGDATETIME$  Additional Info:  $SERVICEOUTPUT$"
       }

when i run the command
usr/lib/nagios/plugins/notify_by_jabber  
doutrele at jabberd.int-evry.fr,procacci at jabberd.int-evry.fr,gaboret at jabberd.int-evry.fr,ghanotak at jabberd.int-evry.fr,gilles at jabberd.int-evry.fr 
"coucou"

i got the message in my gaim client and all the users got it

here is my contact file

define contact{
       contact_name                    jabber-unix
       alias                           rezo jabber

erd.int-evry.fr,ghanotak at jabberd.int-evry.fr,gilles at jabberd.int-evry.fr
       }


in the nagios.log file i have the line
[1200933108] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: 
jabber-unix;asterisk;ping;CRITICAL;notify-by-jabber;PING CRITICAL -  
Paquets perdus = 0%, RTA = 734.46 ms
then i should get a message but i got nothing.

i m wondering how i can debug the notification and to see what command 
is spawn when a notification is sent

I just installed Nagios 2.10 on a FreeBSD 6.3 server. It just has the
localhost config on it right now but it runs without any problems.

Hi all,

I've been working on the hints that you gave me, but unfortunatly I
coudn't get the check_command working...

I've tried the following options

Using the lines on the commands.cfg associated with check_command line
on services.cfg:

check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ with
check_http!www.somehost.com.br!/heartbeat.asmx/Web!'<boolean
xmlns="http://www.somehost.com.br/">true</boolean>'

check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$ -s $ARG2$ with the same above

check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ with
check_http!www.somehost.com.br! -u/heartbeat.asmx/Web! -s'<boolean
xmlns="http://www.somehost.com.br/">true</boolean>'

And none of the above has brought me a fair result...

Do you have any another idea where I can missing something!?

Regards,

Fabiano

Change your command definition to echo the command that would be run to
a file --

define command{
       command_name    notify-by-jabber
       command_line    echo '/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/notify_by_jabber 
$CONTACTEMAIL$ "***** Nagios  *****   Notification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service: $SERVICEDESC$ Host: $HOSTALIAS$ Address:
$HOSTADDRESS$ State: $SERVICESTATE$  Date/Time: $LONGDATETIME$
Additional Info:  SERVICEOUTPUT$"' > /tmp/nagios.txt
       }

/tmp/nagios.txt would then contain the full command line that nagios
would attempt to run.

It seem you are mixing things in a odd manner.

I would recommend to define the command with:

define command{
	command_name	check_http_reply
	command_line	$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H $ARG1$ -u  $ARG2$
- -s  $ARG3$
	}

Then define the service with:
	check_http_reply!www.somehost.com.br!/heartbeat.asmx/Web!'<boolean
xmlns="http://www.somehost.com.br/">true</boolean>'

I would never try to mix the arguments the way you did.

Hugo.

quite an extreme way of terminating mysql :)

Did you try to issue an sql command such as "show full processlist" before
sniping mysqld ?? My nagios database already grew that big, and it was
just sluggish... After allowing innodb to use an insane amount of ram,
it was great :)

When you are testing 'sh /tmp/jabber.txt', are you doing so as the user
'nagios' (i.e. this may be a permissions issue)? Does the
notify_by_jabber script rely on any environment variables that may not
be present for a non-interactive session? Does the script specify full
paths to all external files/programs it references? Follow that logic
through to all programs/scripts that notify_by_jabber calls.

This implies that you compiled in the embedded-perl interpreter but the
notify_by_jabber plugin is not compatible with it. You're likely to
encounter this again if you use non-standard perl plugins. The solution
above is fine in that case.

Message-ID: <C7F9DF38B33FA44E85FBD1757447D48A2D3D16FC@mail.accessline.com>


I just upgraded from 2.X line to 3.0 rc1, and I notice that the Status
Information field no longer supports embedded URLs..
Previously I could send a passive check result via nsca like:
Some alarm text <A href="http://somelink.com"> click me </A>
Now this no longer renders as an embedded link, but instead the literal
string.
Is this a bug or is there a way to get the embedded link back?

Subject: random character appended to NRPE output
Message-ID: <f96b0e130801211453v1af6458es81d547a874b637a5@mail.gmail.com>

I was wondering if anyone has run into this before and the solution.  When I
run nrpe I get a bunch of extra characters on the end of the output as seen
here:

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H host -c check_users
USERS OK - 2 users currently logged in |users=2;5;10;0
?????r??????r?

I am running the latest version of nrpe (2.11).  It seems like an array
isn't ending properly.  Is there anything else that might be helpful, like a
debug log?

Thanks alot,

Nathan

There's a new option in cgi.cfg which controls this:

escape_html_tags=0

should recover the old behaviour.

For what it's worth, I've written a HOWTO on installing NRPE on AIX.

http://www.hackmyidea.com/wordpress/2008/01/22/installing-nagios-nrpe-on-aix/

I am not an AIX adminstrator, so please feel free to correct any errata.

(I'm assuming the best place for this stuff to go is in /opt ? Any advice
here would be greatly appreciated)

Hi Guys,
When a host is down or one of it's services are down. Where do I click to go
directly to the host on the status map page?

Hi,

 

Under host commands there is a "Locate host on map" option, at least
there is with the nuvola style.

 

The URI is:

 

/nagios/cgi-bin/statusmap.cgi?host=hostname&layout=1&max_width=0&max_hei
ght=0&proximity_width=1000&proximity_height=800&layermode=exclude

 

Replace hostname with the name of the host.

That is the problem, I can't find the "View Host on Map button" Or the 'Go

Hi,

 

I also have this, and think this is a bug.

I reported this already to the dev list, but don?t know if someone saw mu mail.

 

Still, since I suspected this had to do with string ending, I added the following at the end of all my test scripts :

/usr/bin/printf "\0"

 

I did this because I think strings end with a zero char in C, so I thought it would be worth trying printing one manually.

This apparently solves the problem of appended chars, but this is just a workaround, I admit?

 

Cheers

Subject: [Nagios-users] random character appended to NRPE output

 

I was wondering if anyone has run into this before and the solution.  When I run nrpe I get a bunch of extra characters on the end of the output as seen here:

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H host -c check_users 
USERS OK - 2 users currently logged in |users=2;5;10;0
?????r??????r?

I am running the latest version of nrpe (2.11).  It seems like an array isn't ending properly.  Is there anything else that might be helpful, like a debug log?  

Thanks alot,

Nathan

Alex,

 

I am unsure why it is not there as an option for you. What version of
Nagios are you running? (it's there in my 2.9 installation).

 

Did you compile from source or install via RPM?

 

If / When you originally compiled did you have issues with the required
libraries for the statusmap? If so you may need to rebuild extinfo.cgi.

 

Thanks

 

Giles

Giles.
I migrated to a new installation. I was running 2.9 and it was there. I
upgraded to 2.10 and I can't see it anymore.

I compiled by source. Initially I had issue with my gd library, I installed
gd and recompiled. The status map is working alright but I can't get the
"Locate host on map button"

How do I rebuild extinfo.cgi?

Alex,

 

I am not sure, but, why not rename the extinfo.cgi file in your SOURCE
tree and re-run 'make' to recompile the file from the source
(extinfo.c).

 

I'm assuming you still have the source and not done a 'make clean',
'make distclean' etc... all of which is probably beyond the scope of the
Nagios list.

 

Thanks

 

Giles

Hi Guys,

 

When a host is down or one of it's services are down. Where do I click
to go directly to the host on the status map page?

Brian,

You beat me to the punch.  After a few days of trying to figure out the
pattern, I found this was only happening when the distributed nodes were
trying to do host checks.  Further discover revealed that we were using
'fping' to check host reachability which did include a ',' in the
output.  The "send" shell script I was using at the time passed -d ','
to send_nsca to use as a delimiter.

So while the actual host check was sending only 3 fields to the
send_service_check script, the arguments to send_nsca were causing it to
be broken into 4 fields so the NSCA daemon assumed it was a service
check.

Not that it matter which I use, but I switched over to use Ethan's
script.  I guess when no arguments are passed to send_nsca, it breaks on
a tab as a delimiter.  Anyway, that part of my migration has been
working fine.

Glad to see the whole 64-bit business was a red herring in my setup
(whew!).

Thanks for your help.

Mark

MF:

Show us your ocsp_command and ochp_command mappings.  Are you calling a
piped command from checkcommands.cfg or calling an external shell
script?

I guarantee you the comma (",") in results is being mapped into a field
delimiter, which confuses nscad(8).

Subject: Problem with high latencies after going distributed
Message-ID: <7F477BD26F545A4C8E4779754A38EFB30380C225@PEPWMV00043.corp.pep.pvt>



As I'd mentioned in a previous message, I'm in the process of converting
from a centralized
Nagios 2.10 setup all running on a single host to a distributed setup
running on at least 3
hosts (3 to start anyway).  The centralized setup has 572 hosts and 2900
services 99.9% of which are active checks.

My approach when going passive was to group the checks so that some ran
on the first distributed node and some ran on the second node.  The
central server will do freshness
checking and run an active check if it fails to get a check back from a
distributed node
after 20 minutes (virtually all checks run at 15 minute intervals or
less).

Our old centralized server reports the following via nagiostats:

	Active Service Latency:               0.000 / 9.129 / 0.833 sec
	Active Service Execution Time:        0.037 / 10.045 / 0.227 sec

I started noticing a fair number of checks going stale on the new
reporting server and
that server would then run those service checks actively.  I could see
no reason for this.
When I had a look at the distributed nodes, I saw:

	Distributed Node 1                    (min/max/avg)
	Active Service Latency:               0.000 / 7267.198 /
4241.019 sec
	Active Service Execution Time:        0.000 / 60.014 / 0.651 sec

	Distributed Node 2                    (min/max/avg)
	Active Service Latency:               0.000 / 11475.901 /
6393.641 sec
	Active Service Execution Time:        0.000 / 60.018 / 0.593 sec

Wow.

I reviewed the performance doc for Nagios 2.x yet again and I'm not
finding anything there
that I'm not doing that would affect latencies this much.  These boxes
are dedicated to Nagios
so there's no other application competing for resources.  They're on the
same subnet.
I run a few perl checks, but that would be a very small percentage of my
checks.  The
distributed nodes are newer and have more resources (faster CPU, at
least as much memory)
as the old standalone box.

The only thing I can think of that could be unusual is that both
distributed nodes know about
all hosts and services.  I have created a configuration whereby
hosts/services that are not
to be checked by node 1 are given a template that looks like:

define service {
        name                            nagios-dist-check-service
        freshness_threshold             1200

        active_checks_enabled           1
        check_freshness                 0
        check_period                    24x7
        event_handler_enabled           0
        flap_detection_enabled          0
        notifications_enabled           0
        obsess_over_service             1
        passive_checks_enabled          0
        process_perf_data               0

        register                        0
}

define service {
        name                            nagios-dist-nocheck-service
        freshness_threshold             1200

        active_checks_enabled           0
        check_freshness                 0
        check_period                    none
        event_handler_enabled           0
        flap_detection_enabled          0
        notifications_enabled           0
        obsess_over_service             0
        passive_checks_enabled          0
        process_perf_data               0

        register                        0
}

So services on node1 that are supposed to be run, get the
nagios-dist-check-service template
and those that should not, get the nagios-dist-nocheck-service template.

Is there something about Nagios that I don't understand that would cause
a lot of disabled
service checks to shoot latencies way up?  Is something else going on
here?

Here's my output of nagios -s on one of the nodes (both yield similar
output and are configured similarly):

A good place to link the actual docs would be in the Nagios Community
wiki. Just link to your page, that way everyone can see the
documentation if they are searching for it on the wiki.

Message-ID: <2274b9c30801221009u22821c82he4e7f84a41f8ed71@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I've migrated the nagios web interface onto a different physical
server, nfs mounting the nagios directory from the actual nagios
server.

Only snag I'm running into right now is trying to access the
nagios.cmd pipe over nfs.  When trying to schedule downtime, disable
notifications etc... the web interface just spins. I see cmd.cgi is
being executed, but nothing happens.

Both servers have the same uid/gids for nagios, webserver is even
running as nagios user.

I know a 'work-around' is to ssh+keys>nagios.cmd pipe, but this isn't an option.

Any ideas?

Kyle

Is NFS rpc.lockd running?  Try mount_nfs(8) with '-L'

     -L      Do not forward fcntl(2) locks over the wire.  All locks will be
             local and not seen by the server and likewise not seen by other
             NFS clients.  This removes the need to run the rpcbind(8) service
             and the rpc.statd(8) and rpc.lockd(8) servers on the client.
             Note that this option will only be honored when performing the
             initial mount, it will be silently ignored if used while updating
             the mount options.

Subject: webservices check using check_http
Message-ID: <94212b210801221026k2419fbb8k734f93d53699893e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all!

I'm facing a problem to check some webservices here with the check_http command.

The point is from the command line (shell)  I can run the command with
the syntaxes perfectly. Testing the return everything is OK.

The command line I run on the shell is:

./usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H www4.somehost.com.br -u
/monitor/billing.asmx/isFunctional?idCarrier=6 -s '<boolean
xmlns="http://www.somehost.com.br/">true</boolean>'

My nightmare starts when I put the line on services.cfg

It seems like nagios don't understand what I put on services.cfg (or
I'm giving the wrong syntax).

The check_command line on services.cfg is:

check_http!www4.somehost.com.br!/monitor/billingvpn.asmx/isFunctional?idCarrier=6!'<boolean
xmlns="http://www.somehost.com.br/">true</boolean>'

The commands.cfg check_http line is:

check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$

I've tried already putting "-u" and "-s" before $ARG1$ and $ARG2$...
But no changes has occured. I've tried also putting just -s before
$ARG2$... And nothing changed.

The www4.somehost.com.br is the virtualhost "-H" option

"/monitor/billingvpn.asmx/isFunctional?idCarrier=6" is the URL "-u" option

and '<boolean xmlns="http://www.somehost.com.br/">true</boolean>' is
the string expected, "-s" option.

The above command works perfectly. If I change anything after "-s" the
expected string changes and the service status changes to CRITICAL,
indicating that he command works normally.

But Nagios daemon couldn't show the same... I don't know what's happening...

If someone have some hint to give me... I'll apretiate.

Regards,

Fabiano Martins

AFAIK,
You cannot use a FIFO (pipe) over NFS. The pipe refers to not a file  
but a kernel IPC method. So a FIFO created on the NFS server is known  
to the nfs server and not the client system.

I found a neat but ugly work-around.  After doing some reading, it
appears as though the fifo/pipe  needs to be opened for reading and
writing at the same time.

If I leave 'tail -f nagios.cmd' running on the remote site nfs
mounting the pipe, data is processed!

... not so much

It solves the web page spinning, but since nagios never picks up the
data nothing happens.

Back to the drawing board.

check_commands.cfg was not installed.
Where do I get it from?

I could copy if from another machine but I'd like to find out where it
came from.

Subject: Service checks stopped
Message-ID: <7cbc132f0801221412p1c5c02d8ub2a0450fcf5d070a@mail.gmail.com>

I am running nagios 3.0rc1 on solaris. I have several services being
monitored on 2 hosts. I have a regular outage on a service group that I have
configured by specifying the timeperiod
define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name         myapp-prod-uptime
        alias                   MyApp Production Uptime
        sunday                  00:00-24:00                     ;
        monday                  00:00-17:00,17:45-24:00         ;
        tuesday                 00:00-24:00                     ;
        wednesday               00:00-24:00                     ;
        thursday                00:00-17:00,17:45-24:00         ;
        friday                  00:00-24:00                     ;
        saturday                00:00-24:00                     ;
        }

The services for MyApp all use a template with the following
...
        check_period                    myapp-prod-uptime
...

When the outage windows occur (thursday 5:00pm to 5:45pm) the service checks
for MyApp do not run. Shortly after, all service checks no longer run. The
last service check to run was on 1/17/2008 at 5:29:51 pm. In the web
interface the service checks show that they were scheduled to run but they
never did.

Restarting nagios will fix it, until the next configured window in the
timeperiod.

I have also tried to implement this outage window by using a seperate
timeperiod to define the window between 17:00 and 17:45 Monday and Thursday,
while using the "exclude" directive in the myapp-prod-uptime timeperiod
definition. I get the same result. All checks stop shortly after the window
starts.

Please help.

It's not standard. You must have created it yourself or gotten it from
somewhere not related to the source distribution. The closest named file
distributed with nagios is 'commands.cfg' which contains sample command
definitions.

This isn't much help, but...

We've just done exactly the same (Nagios 2.9), and we have a comparable
size of system (actually a bit larger - 713 hosts, 5834 services).
After going distributed, we too have this insanely high latency on the
satellites.

The only possible cause is the OCSP command slowing things down somehow.
This is using the supplied send_nsca call to send the status off to the
central server...

define command {
    command_name    relay
    command_line    $USER1$/submit_check_result "$HOSTNAME$"
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$SERVICESTATEID$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$"
}

So it should work.  I guess things would be better if it packaged the
updates up into batches, although it cant do that normally.

I think it might be better to make the OCSP command just dump the status
to a file, and then have a cronjob every 60 seconds that reads the file
and sends the statuses off as a batch.  I will try this here, when I get
the chance.

But if the submit_check_result is running slowly, that would only affect
the service
execution time wouldn't it?  My understanding of check latency is that
it's the difference
in time between when Nagios schedules a check to run versus the time
that the check
actually starts to execute.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding something here.  When it comes to working
with Nagios, I
tend to learn the most when I have the biggest problems :-).

Do you do the same thing I mentioned where you define all the checks on
both distributed
nodes, but disable checks on complimentary halves of those checks on
each node?

Thanks

Mark

If the scheduler gets behind, then the latency increases as it runs the
service checks in order of the scheduler.  It is possible that the OSCP
handler is run SERIALLY with service checks (as the host checks are done
in 1.x) and is therefore holding up service checks, just like you'd see
if you had a lot of down hosts and a long-running host check command.

Don't we all :-/.  The latency effect of non-parallel host checks was a
nasty surprise to me.

Yes.  However, I can't always set the freshness checking because some of
our checks are every 4 hours, although most are at a sub 15min interval.
We have a complex configuration tool that builds our whole distributed
Nagios/MRTG configuration set from templates so I can't hand-hack the
config files either.

I have now set up one of our distributed nodes to batch the NSCA
messages, and will see if the latency increases overnight (so far, it
looks good).  To do this, I just changed submit_check_result to only
append to a file, then added a Nagios every-minute cronjob to cat the
contents of this file into send_nsca (actually, there are a few more
steps to ensure data integrity and checks, but that's basically it).
The upshot is that some checks may be delayed by up to a minute, and
we're dependent on cron, but the OCSP command exits very fast.

Let me know if you want a copy of the two scripts I used to achieve
this.

You're right, but you're just missing one detail. Nagios runs checks in
parallel and then reaps all the service results at once. While it's
reaping it can't schedule other checks and it is in the reaping state
that Nagios runs host check, event handlers, performance data commands
and oc[hs]p commands. All this is done serially and can slow down
significantly each service reaping run and thus delay the execution of
further checks.

I although I never built a distributed system, I designed mine to be
easily distributed. Moreover, I used a technique I developed for
latency-free performance-data processing (That I still heavily use BTW)
to create a way to distribute check results to to a distributed central
server in the same latency-free way (Was more like a fun project as I
don't use it myself yet).

Basically you use the host/service performance data files to get the
data, but instead of writing to a file you write it to a named pipe
(fifo). That pipe is then read by a high-performance non-blocking
event-based Perl daemon (yeah I know that looks like marketing terms,
but I can explain further each of them if you like) that forks send_nsca
processes to send results in bulk (normally every few seconds though).

So Nagios doesn't even loose time rotating a file and all your checks
are transmitted almost instantly. See this wiki page for details and code:

Yep. As it was already said on the thread fifos only works locally. It
implemented in the kernel, not in the FS code. The FS is only involved
in giving it a name and permissions (and this trivial task is properly
implemented by NFS: each server can use the pipe ... locally).

A trivial (hacky) workaround could be using Netcat (nc):

On the webserver:

cat /path/to/nagios.cmd | nc <nagios_host> <some_port>

On the Nagios server:

nc -lp <some_port> >/path/to/nagios.cmd

Since NC can die you should ideally run in with Daniel J Bernstein's
Daemontools:

http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html

Also try in UDP mode (nc -u host post / nc -lup port) if you have problems.


The solution I'd go for though would be using Perl daemons for relaying
the commands using code similar to these daemons:

http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki/index.php/OCP_Daemon#OCP_daemon_code
http://nagiosexchange.altinity.org/nagiosexchange/NPDaemon/

It requires good Perl knowledge, especially since these daemons doesn't
include any non-blocking sending function. Since the command pipe isn't
much solicited you can just go blocking too (while (<FIFO>)/blocking
send on the web server, blocking listen/blocking write to the nagios
server), but make sure you implement timeouts with alarm() in the
network code to avoid jamming there.

In that case, why not ask "How do I keep my cellphone from waking me up?"?
Instead, you've thought up a solution to your problem, which generates
other problems, and now you want help solving those other problems.

Assuming you know when these disruptive tasks are run, you should simply
create a notification_period that doesn't include the sensitive hours
and use that notification_period for the services being disrupted.

There are other solutions too, but this one is normally the recommended,
so I suggest you try that out first.

I have to run the db installation script that comes with ndoutils to
recreate the db schema.

Is postgresql support actually working? I found conflicting information
as to whether it would work so I never tried it.
Have you tried the advice of someone else to give InnoDB loads of
memory? I would like to try that, but have no idea as to how to do it!
Perhaps someone can advise?

Tell him it's his loss if he takes that route :-). Note that ndoutils is
beta software and I don't believe much effort will be taken to resolve
this problem until Nagios v3 reaches stable, I have read comments that
Ethan is well aware of this problem, and it requires work to not have
ndo2db halt Nagios while it does its work.

Look for files named "commands.cfg", "misccommands.cfg" or
"checkcommands.cfg" or grep for "notify-" in your config directory.

That command is defined by a "define command" definition. You can
obviously change it and use custom scripts to send notifications. You
should look at the documentation too so see which macros you can use:

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

Hi,

I am trying to monitor windows machines passively.
For the same, I am writing some code in C#.

The problem is, C# does not support anything like echo command(The way we
used to do it on Linux).
I have tried to redirect the output from a file to the send_nsca exe, but
to no avail.

Can you suggest some formats in which the information can be passed to the
send_nsca exe ?

Thanks

Truncate it first to avoid replaying old commands:

true >/path/to/cgi.pipe
tail -f /path/to/cgi.pipe > /path/to/nagios.cmd

Useless as the file can be created by the cgi anyways...

You should also monitor the size and make sure it doesn't grows up too much.

In my case, a backup job might take down a MySQL database for anywhere from
1 minute to 1 hour, depending on the size of the database. Because the time
needed to perform the backup is flexible and the time when the backup might
occur is not always known, I cannot simply set the affected services to only
notify in a timeperiod that excludes certain hours of the days. This is just
an example of why I need to allow scripts and applications not on the nagios
host(s) to be able to use the external command pipe.

Currently I have a very simple API over https that uses the same auth
mechanism as the Nagios frontend, and PHP classes that I can use in my
client side scripts to manipulate this API. I am able to query Nagios about
object data and status data, as well as submit commands to the
nagios.cmdpipe. In order for the external command functionality to
work the way I
intend, I need to obtain a response from nagios so my server can respond
back to the client with the results of processing the external command. I am
really hoping there is an easy way to do this, as replacing the
nagios.cmdfile with something besides a FIFO pipe requires
modification to the nagios
source and is something I was trying to avoid.

Thanks for the response. I hope this makes sense.

Hi Scott,

I'm in the process of doing something similar.  I've come up with
something that may help you.

Read my thread entitle "nagios.cmd over nfs"

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[mode]=1&tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[showUid]=8571


If nfs isn't an option, Thomas mentioned the use of netcat and or a
Perl daemon which would offer more control.

Good luck!

Nagios was never designed to provide status back to a script submitting
a command to the external command pipe because it is not a real-time
operation and the commands should always succeed (why wouldn't they?).
The command may not be read for quite some time after it's submitted,
depending on what nagios is doing at the time. 

As for logging, Nagios assumes that all external commands succeed and
logs nothing unless the command is malformed. There is additional
logging that is available by running nagios in DEBUG3 but that still
doesn't indicate success or failure. commands.c handles external
commands. I'd suggest you start there and add in what additional logging
you feel you need.

Have a look at the sample mysql configs that come w/ the mysql-server package
(/usr/share/doc/mysql-server-<version>, on Red Hat and friends, at least).  You
could use/adapt one of the configs intended for larger environments, depending
on your configuration.  If nothing else, that's a good starting point.

I'd also recommend checking out http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/,
particularly the section on performance presentations.  Good stuff.

Kyle,

Yes, I have been following the thread you linked and saw some of the
suggestions made. However, all of them seem "hackish" to me. Using NFS is
not a good solution for me, because it reduces the portability of my
scripts. For example, if a server that runs processes which disrupt
monitored services cannot use NFS, I am out of luck. Also, simply exporting
the nagios.cmd file over NFS requires me to use NFS to secure things instead
of using the same authentication system nagios uses. I already have my API
working, and am able to submit commands to nagios in a safe manner, but I
cannot verify that those command were processed or what the result is.
Consider the following block of code:

$nag = new Nagios('username', 'password', 'nagios.domain.com');
$host = $nag->findHostByIP('192.168.1.1');
$result = $nag->scheduleHostDowntime($host->name, date(U), date(U)+3600,
true, 0, 3600, $nag->getUsername(), 'Auto-scheduled downtime for X');
if($result->code == 0) {
  do_task_that_causes_downtime();
} else {
  log_errors($result->message);
}

This is what I envision being able to do. One of the main problems is that
nagios may take a while to process the command, so if the command is sent
and recieved by nagios, but hasn't yet been processed when the disruptive
task begins, alerts will be still be generated.

While typing this I received Marc's reply and it seems I will need to modify
commands.c to log when a command was processed then add a facility in my
client interface to poll nagios about the status of a command in the pipe.
This way my client can sit and wait until the command is processed before
beginning the disruptive task.

I believe I have a better understanding of what I need to do now. Thanks for
all the advice and I look forward to any additional feedback.

-Scott

Can't you set flexible recurring downtime to solve this?

Ie:  If the MySQL Database goes down between Midnight and 4am, start a
downtime window that last for 1 hour.  If the DB is still down after an
hour, send an alert.

I wrote a PHP script you can use in cron to schedule such a downtime
event:

Interesting.  Thanks for the explanation.  If I understand this right,
the reason I
don't see this issue on my old non-distributed system is that when the
reaping occurs
there, it does not involve running oc[sh]p command which lops off a good
chunk of time
for the reaping process to complete.  On the distributed node, the
reaping takes so long
that it affects Nagios' scheduling and actual check execution times and
thereby affects
latencies.

This seems like a serious impediment to normal functioning of a
distributed
Nagios setup.  That is, in order to make all but the smallest
distributed node setups
work you have to come up with this roll-your-own setup.  I haven't read
the
"new in Nagios 3" doc in a while.  Is this something that is fixed in
some way there?

Thanks

Mark

A recurring flexible downtime is the solution I am currently using. However,
my requirements have changed because certain tasks are not scheduled by
time, but are instead triggered by other factors. So simply setting a
recurring downtime window, or blacking out certain hours from the
notification period is not an ideal solution. I would like to place the
responsibility of suppressing alerts on the script that disrupts the
service, instead of on a cron job or any other external system.

Subject: check_http returning success full results on a url
	which is down
Message-ID: <90151.57409.qm@web26504.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Hi All,

I?m currently running Nagios 3.0 on a Fedora 7 box, with the latest plug-in package.

I?m trying to configure the check_http plug-in to check a test harness running on a Windows box which can be accessed via a web interface.  The problem is that I have brought the test harness down, so that when you manually connect to it via a browser (http://hostname:2000/test/results) it will return a page cannot be displayed error as expected.  However the check_http is still responding with a success ?HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 5029 bytes in 0.004 seconds?.  

I have set check_http as follows in my commands.cfg file

define command{
    command_name    check_http
    command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -u     $ARG2$ 
    }

I have set this as a service in the windows.cfg as follows

define service{
    use                                     generic-service         
    host_name                          PONGO
    service_description             HTTP
    check_command                   check_http!pongo!2000!/test/results
    notifications_enabled              0
    }

I done the usall pre-flight check & reboot after changes.

Can anyone spot why this is not failing even though I?ve closed the URL it?s trying to access?  

Thanks,

Darren.

Subject: Memory and fork problem with Nagios 2.9
Message-ID: <20080123170242.0A78558004D@desire.netways.de>

Hi list,
I'm quit new to Nagios, and I would know if someone can help me.

This is my enviroment:
 - VMWare Virtual machine running over Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790] with 2 GB RAM
 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga) installed on the VM
 - NAGIOS 2.9 with embedded perl
 - NET-SNMP

I'm testing this enviroment to monitor some network devices using snmp plugins (I wasn't able to run the plugins without embedded perl). At the moment I'm monitoring 17 hosts (Routers, switches and 1 firewall) and 70 services (especially ports on routers with "check_ifstatus" plugin).

My problem is that all the time that I start Nagios, very slowly, memory used by Nagios goes up (And I see that memory used by nagios childs to execute plugins is the same as the parent process) until I begin to find in nagios.log the message: "Warning: The check of service 'xxx' on host 'yyy' could not be performed due to a fork() error.  The check will be rescheduled.". If I restart Nagios the situations is always the same (It takes a couple of days to arrive to the critical state)

First I though about a problem with Nagios configuration but after some tuning I'm quite sure that the configuration is ok (No problem with user configuration or "service_reaper_frequency").

I read a post that was talking about known memory leak problems with embedded perl, could anyone explain to me a little bit better the problem?

Is there any workaround or patch?

Thankyou very much for the help

Subject: Service dependency not working
Message-ID: <70c5afa40801230921l764ffbffr63c93ccad4f1e772@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I've configured a dependency for multiple services, due to high link
utilization on a circuit. The link utilization service is called "Site
B Primary Traffic" on host "SITEB". In this example, I would expect
notifications for "Ping" on Host "DEPENDENTHOST1" to be suppressed if
"Site B Primary Traffic" on host "SITEB" is in an unknown or critical
state.

define servicedependency{
        dependent_host_name             DEPENDENTHOST1
        host_name                               SITEB
        dependent_service_description   Ping
        service_description             Site B Primary Traffic
        execution_failure_criteria              u,c
        notification_failure_criteria   u,c
}

Unfortunately, this is not the case. I have just receieved a group of
messages which contradict the configuration.

Please assist!

Thanks,
John

I'm running Debian on VMWare.  Which is running on an ESX server.
   
  I want to remotely check the RAID arrays.  I don't have a preference on how I do it as long as I can do it.  The easier the better.  It sounds like I'm going about it the wrong way.  Any suggestions?
   
  Thanks for the reply!

Second, you mention wanting to check win2k RAID array status, but you
also mention VMWare and Debian.

Are you running Debian in a VMWare guest VM? What OS is the Hypervisor
running? 

Do you want to _remotely_ check win2k HP raid arrays? 

As far as debian goes, you will only be able to run Debian as the
Hypervisor OS and check the HP RAID array of the hypervisor _locally_.

You want to check HP raid array using hpacucli? 

I imagine this is one of the black magic binaries like Dell / AMI / LSI
Logic megacli/megarc that will only work with special kernel hacks and
modules, and of course, proper sudo permissions.

Not quite to that level here but probably comparable. I'm submitting
~1200 service checks every 5 minutes from my 'largest' remote Nagios to
two central boxen receiving a total of 3790 passive checks each every 5
minutes (for redundancy).

How many services are being polled/sent on each collector? My comparable
stats for the collector above are --

Active Service Latency:               0.001 / 10.390 / 2.385 sec
Active Service Execution Time:        0.089 / 47.674 / 1.274 sec

This isn't even a dedicated nagios box. It's also doing Cricket data
collection for 12831 rrd files at 5 minute intervals and other stuff. My
opinion is that unless there is some magic threshold that I haven't
crossed (I don't expect that there is), your numbers indicate some
network or configuration problem. 

Others have indicated that the OCSP execution may be an issue. Your OCSP
command should execute _very_ quickly so I don't see how it's a
significant factor at your levels unless there's a problem there,
especially when spreading out 2900 checks over 15 minutes. That's about
3 checks per second versus my 4 per second. For me to send results to
_2_ central boxes takes an insignificant amount of time --

$ time ./submit_check_result test test OK test
1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully.
1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully.

real    0m0.010s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.010s

Even taking into account nagios setting up the call to
submit_check_result it's still trivial. Just making you aware that this
is testable by you and may be a red-herring.

This should be failing loudly. It can't be what nagios is actually
using. The command being executed by nagios would be --

/path/to/plugins/check_http -H <someIP> -p pongo -u 2000

$ ./check_http -H 172.27.0.101 -p pongo -u 2000
check_http: Invalid port number - pongo

It's getting a 200 (successful) response code from your webserver.
You're not testing what you think you're testing.

Check your web server logs to see what nagios really is checking. You
might also be interested in the -s option to verify output from your
webserver.

Subject: flap_detection_enabled persistence across
	reload/restart?
Message-ID: <20080123221614.GA20554@duke.edu>

Nagios 2.10, CentOS 5 x86_64 / i386, NDOUtils 1.4b6

Hi all,

I've noticed something odd wrt flapping, and am wondering if I'm overlooking
something simple, or just misunderstanding the way flapping and state retention
are supposed to work.

First, just to verify, my main nagios config has:

 enable_flap_detection=1
 retain_state_information=1
 state_retention_file=/var/log/nagios/retention.dat
 retention_update_interval=<1,5,60 or even 0, doesn't matter>
 use_retained_program_state=1
 use_retained_scheduling_info=1

In my global host and service templates that all hosts use, I have:

 flap_detection_enabled          1
 retain_status_information       1
 retain_nonstatus_information    1

I've also disabled flap detection explicitly for a few hosts, and it all works
as advertised.

However, for any host/service, if I manually disable/enable flap detection via
an external command / cgi, and then reload or restart, the option reverts to
whatever is in the config for that given host/service.  This happens regardless
of whether 1) the option is being set in retention.dat, which it is, 2) the
NDO-fed database thinks flapping for this host/service is disabled, or 3) w/out
the broker_module enabled.  Other state options are being preserved (such as
active_checks_enabled) both at retention_update_interval and on a reload.

So, what I think I'm seeing then is that during a reload, the
flap_detection_enabled option isn't getting read from the retention file at
program start, though I'd expect it to be persistent just as the other options
are.  FWIW, same behavior on earlier Nagios 2.x releases, but 1.x seems to do
the right thing.

Before I dig further, can anyone verify that the state of host or service flap
detection (enabled/disabled) should or shouldn't be persistent across a
reload/restart?  I've combed the docs and archives, and am coming up dry.

Thanks,

-tt

The retention file should take precedence. Not all directives can be
overridden by the retention file but flap_detection_enabled is one of
them (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service).
Your configuration snippets look accurate, assuming they're applied as
you indicate.

Actually C# Does have echo,  try
System.Console.WriteLine("ECHO TO STANDARD IO");
you can also write to standard error
and you can also redirect IO streams,

C# give pleanty of ways for doing this, since it is a full development
language and the Dot NEt Framework offers pleanty of classes, Go to MSDN and
read throught the Library. particullary the  IO,Console, and posibly the
Process class depending on how you want to accomplish things.

Using C# NC_Net can feed an IO into  Win32_Send_NSCA.exe
I also wrote my own version of SendNSCA in C# (internally in NC_NEt)
doing that is a bit too complicated to discuss, but to oversimpify things:
To reimplement SendNSCA just convert the Send_nsca.c into C#
FOr commiunicating with Win32SEnd_Nsca read up on running processes
Asyncronous and Syncronously. (spelling may be off)

Have you tried using NC_NEt it provides both Active and Passive checks in a
single windows plugin client It also has the ability to run other Scripts
loaded into its script folder.
IT is availible on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

Message-ID: <46fa40c10801231723n63d239e1ude2a92ab2c768c3f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Nagios-ers ...

I need a little help with some logic here.

In our network we have the usual set up:

 web servers -> VIP -> Cache -> VIP

but then on top of the cache VIP we also use an external caching provider
(no prizes for guessing who that is, akamai) this means all requests for
www.mysite.com go to this external source via cname, which then gets
assigned a round-robin'ed IP. so it changes a lot.

now, i want to monitor all kinds of page response times, error codes and
such that i know check_http can do ...

and i can do that easily as a service definition for my web server host
objects, or my vip host object or my squid host objects etc.

but ... and here's where i get confused ...

i have no host objects for the external caches, so what IP do i do my
http_check tests against to ensure that i'm hitting our outermost layer as a
user would?

put another way ... how would you all go about monitoring a website that
isn't yours (say you wanted to monitor cnn.com for all these things, what ip
would you run your checks against? can i create a host with a domain name
only?

i'm sure this is easy and i'm just missing it ... so thanks for your gentle
help! :-)

Use the DNS name instead of IP.

Sorry for the top post - I haven't quite figured out how to get Outlook 2007
to behave properly when replying to HTML emails (switching to plain text
after I hit "Reply" doesn't seem to quote the original properly).  I'm sure
I'll figure it out.   Soon.

 

Anyway, we monitor plenty of clients for whom we track the status of their
hosted sites in addition to their internal networks.  For the hosted sites,
we simply create a host object with the hosted site's IP / DNS name and
assign checks normally (check_http variations primarily).

Hi Nagios-ers ...

I need a little help with some logic here.

In our network we have the usual set up:

 web servers -> VIP -> Cache -> VIP 

but then on top of the cache VIP we also use an external caching provider
(no prizes for guessing who that is, akamai) this means all requests for
www.mysite.com go to this external source via cname, which then gets
assigned a round-robin'ed IP. so it changes a lot.

now, i want to monitor all kinds of page response times, error codes and
such that i know check_http can do ... 

and i can do that easily as a service definition for my web server host
objects, or my vip host object or my squid host objects etc. 

but ... and here's where i get confused ...

i have no host objects for the external caches, so what IP do i do my
http_check tests against to ensure that i'm hitting our outermost layer as a
user would? 

put another way ... how would you all go about monitoring a website that
isn't yours (say you wanted to monitor cnn.com for all these things, what ip
would you run your checks against? can i create a host with a domain name
only? 

i'm sure this is easy and i'm just missing it ... so thanks for your gentle

but the host has no ip. can i make a host entry without an ip? i only need
th host entry so i can create a service (which requires a host, right?).
then i http_check -I against a dns name?

i'm guessing like this:

define host{
	use		generic-host		; Inherit default values from a template
	host_name		www.mysite.com		; The name we're giving to this host
	alias		Some Remote Host	; A longer name associated with the host
	address		192.168.1.50		; IP address of the host
	}

address is bogus, i just want to be able to associate a service against
this, i won't check it for anything. host_name is important because i need
that DNS value for my http_check:


define command{
	name		check_http
	command_name	check_http
	command_line	$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTNAME$
	}

and use the HOSTNAME macro (not address)

then create the service:

define service{
	use		generic-service		; Inherit default values from a template
	host_name		www.myhost.com
	service_description	HTTP
	check_command	check_http
	}


my theory is that i then get a host called www.myhost.com and have a service
being executed against that host that does an check_http and uses the domain
name (which is also the hostname and pulled by a macro) rather than the IP
(cause it doesn't exist)

seems ok - but i think i'm making this harder than i should be :-)

when you say "we simply create a host object with the hosted site's IP /
DNS" what does that look like? is the dns name the alias?

a good example of this is www.9news.com which is with akamai (not my site)
if you dig it:

[root at cottonwood cfgs]# dig www.9news.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> www.9news.com
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 59275
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 4, AUTHORITY: 9, ADDITIONAL: 5

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;www.9news.com.                 IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.9news.com.          300     IN      CNAME   www.9news.com.edgesuite.net.
www.9news.com.edgesuite.net. 21600 IN   CNAME   a21.g.akamai.net.
a21.g.akamai.net.       20      IN      A       210.9.72.174
a21.g.akamai.net.       20      IN      A       210.9.72.176

so to create a host to run the service check against is hard, cause the IP
changes.

Thanks everyone!

I really should have looked at the manual. The address directive in the host
definition is pretty clearly explained:

"This directive is used to define the address of the host. Normally, this is
an IP address, although it could really be anything you want (so long as it
can be used to check the status of the host). You can use a FQDN to identify
the host instead of an IP address, but if DNS services are not availble this
could cause problems. When used properly, the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro will
contain this address. Note: If you do not specify an address directive in a
host definition, the name of the host will be used as its address. A word of
caution about doing this, however - if DNS fails, most of your service
checks will fail because the plugins will be unable to resolve the host
name."

which is what you were all saying! darn manual! stupid reading!

thanks guys ... i owe ya!

I don't think so. I remember an email from Ton Voon some time ago asking
Ethan why the oc[hs]p command are run serially but I don't recall if
there was a reply or what else was said...

I believe it's either documented in the official doc or some
user-contributed doc that the oc[hs]p commands should return as soon as
possible. It's usually done in Perl using a fork:

if (fork==0) {
  # send stuff via NSCA here...
}
exit(0);

Although it may work for you, that solution will not scale as well as my
OCP_Daemon because running the perl script to fork takes some time. Just
as an example, running the following command on my Nagios server takes
between 1 and 2.5 second:

$ time for ((i=0; i<100; i++)); do perl -e 'if (fork==0) { open (CAT,
"|/bin/cat >/dev/null") or die $!; print CAT
"$ARGV[0]\t$ARGV[1]\t$ARGV[2]\t$ARGV[3]\n"; close (CAT); }' host service
status result; done

That's obviously not counting the time it takes for Nagios to process
the macros, set the environment, etc. Send_nsca will also add much more
load to the system than a "cat >/dev/null". On any system running near
Nagios limitations that additional time will just be too much.

I don't know how many people use OCP_Daemon but I had reports from a few
people that greatly reduced their latency using it and I haven't had any
bug reported yet. I believe it's well documented as well, but If you
have any feedback on this I'll be happy to get it.

I guess what I'm thinking here is that unlike a custom check, I can't
see most
people needing to customize the passive check result process.  All the
solutions I've
seen seem to include a named pipe.  So why couldn't Nagios support
making the ocsp/ochp
"commands" just named pipes instead.   Then instead of a standalone
send_nsca binary,
have the nsca source build a send_nscaD binary (I'm making that up) that
reads from the
pipe that nagios writes to and sends directly to nsca on the server.
That sort of
eliminates the middle-man in the process of reporting passive check
results.

I know, I know, I'm free to write the send_nscaD.c code and send it to
Ethan :-)

I'm playing with it a bit and have so far had good results.  I'll have
some
feedback after I've played with it a bit longer.  Thanks for writing it
and
writing up the docs for it as well!

Hi,

I know how to echo a message on the console ..... my problem is of 
redirecting the string to Send_Nsca.exe , which needs to be sent to the 
Nagios Server for the passive service check.


Any mechanism for doing it will be helpfull. 
When I tried redirection through a file to the  SendNsca.exe, it gave me 
the message "0 packets Sent  to the Nagios Server". 

@ Anthony 
thanks for the Pointer to NC_Net. Its a good tool and seems to be doing 
more than I need for at the moment. 

Thanks 
Ankit

Re: [Nagios-users] Problem with Send_NSCA on Windows






Actually C# Does have echo,  try
System.Console.WriteLine("ECHO TO STANDARD IO");
you can also write to standard error 
and you can also redirect IO streams, 
 
C# give pleanty of ways for doing this, since it is a full development 
language and the Dot NEt Framework offers pleanty of classes, Go to MSDN 
and read throught the Library. particullary the  IO,Console, and posibly 
the Process class depending on how you want to accomplish things.
 
Using C# NC_Net can feed an IO into  Win32_Send_NSCA.exe
I also wrote my own version of SendNSCA in C# (internally in NC_NEt)
doing that is a bit too complicated to discuss, but to oversimpify things:
To reimplement SendNSCA just convert the Send_nsca.c into C#
FOr commiunicating with Win32SEnd_Nsca read up on running processes 
Asyncronous and Syncronously. (spelling may be off)
 
Have you tried using NC_NEt it provides both Active and Passive checks in 
a single windows plugin client It also has the ability to run other 
Scripts loaded into its script folder.
IT is availible on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

Hi,

For the same, I am writing some code in C#.

The problem is, C# does not support anything like echo command(The way we
used to do it on Linux).
I have tried to redirect the output from a file to the send_nsca exe, but
to no avail.

Can you suggest some formats in which the information can be passed to the
send_nsca exe ?

Thanks

Well... I was thinking about partly re-writing nsca as an event-based
daemon (supporting only the --single mode, but that would be really
scalable) using libevent, allowing to pass along the timestamp  (this is
a recent feature request) and supporting multi-line responses (for
Nagios 3) in the process, and finally suggesting this as a base for a
NSCA v3... I'm not even sure if I would have enough time but since my
main objective it to learn I wouldn't loose anything trying :).

In the unlikely event that I write it, In the same step I could surely
to a C version of OCP_Daemon supporting natively the "NSCA v3" protocol
(it wouldn't be hard)...

I'll have to think about it... I quess the only sane separator to write
multiple multi-line results on a pipe would be \000 (NULL), so there
would be 3 mode of operation for send_nsca (and two for nsca_sendd
(don't you think it sounds better reversed?)):
send_nsca: compatible (v2 behavior), Single check (additional lines are
taken as additional output) and multi-check (NULL separated)
nsca_sendd: single-line (one check/line, OCP_Daemon style) and
multi-line "NULL-separated).

Subject: CFG files - Organization
Message-ID: <000001c85e64$f5262f00$a6eb4bc9@company787f011>

Hello guys!

I've installed and configured Nagios 3 and now I am making some tests. Now, I'm wondering about the best way to organize the cfg files.

 

I have the following environment:

 

- Several customers

- Local network

- Web monitoring

 

I`m not sure, but I think I can separate it in different directories like templates (generic templates), localnetwork (LAN), Customers (with sub folders for each customer) and so on.

 

Also, How can I separate the cfg files? 

 

For example: 

-         Services file

-         Hosts file

-         Hostsgroups file

-         Etc.

 

I would appreciate ideas regarding the best way of how to organize it!

 

Thanks,

Hi people,

Following Question:
 
We have configured Nagios and so far it works fine and does notifications. 
 
Since we have a lot of systems which belong to different groups (network, unix, windows, ...) we tried to configure the notifications so that we can define more then one recipient!
 
for example, we have contacts configured in contacts.cfg

example:

define contact{
        contact_name                    noone
        alias                           noone
        use                             generic-contact
        service_notification_period     none
        host_notification_period        none
        contactgroups                   NO-admins
        email                           noone at xxxxxxxx        }

then we have contact groups:

example:

define contact{
        contact_name                    noone
        alias                           noone
        use                             generic-contact
        service_notification_period     none
        host_notification_period        none
        contactgroups                   NO-admins
        email                           noone at xxxxxx
        }

we use the following template.cfg entries

define service{
        name                            prod-service
        use                             generic-service
        max_check_attempts              4
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  BEREITSCHAFT-admins
        register                        0
        }
 
define service{
        name                            test-service
        use                             generic-service
        max_check_attempts              4
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  NO-admins
        register                        0
        }
 
define service{
        name                            unix-service
        contact_groups                  +UNIX-admins
        register                        0
        }
 
define service{
        name                            netzwerk-service
        contact_groups                  +NETZWERK-admins
        register                        0
        }
 
define service{
        name                            db-service
        contact_groups                  +DATENBANK-admins
        register                        0
        }
 

and in the services.cfg it looks like:

example:

 
define service{
        use                             prod-service,netzwerk-service
        hostgroup_name                  Netzwerkkomponenten
        service_description             PING
        check_command                   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
        }


The notification only goes to the first contact /tghe one defined for prod-service) but not to the others if wanted

The reason for this setup is that the prod-service goes to a blackberry and the others should only be additional email notification to theresponsible groups..

anyone got an idea of what we did wrong? cant find a reason.

thanks in advance

cheers
Sigmund

Message-ID: <OFF43B9BC6.2C34ACEC-ONC12573DA.00332317-C12573DA.00341A63@fedasil.be>

Hi all,

My host checks are configured as follow:

Host Name       Max. Check Attempts     Check Interval  Host Check Command 
Enable Active Checks    Enable Passive Checks   Check Freshness 
adabase         5                       0h 0m 0s        check-host-alive 
No                      Yes                             No

Does this means that whenever a host check is needed, Nagios may execute 
the "check-host-alive" command 5 times before a notification is sent? Wow, 
wouldn't be that bad?!

And what does the "check interval" of 0 means? Might it take 5 minutes to 
get the notification? Should I set this parameter to "1min"?

Could you help me?

Best regards,

Cyrille

By-and-large, I generate my nagios configs mechanically from the same 
config that drives app deployment. However, I've just had cause to write 
some config by hand and the following occurred to me:

I've got several hostgroups, and several service groups. What I'd really 
find convenient is a way to say

	all these services are running on all these hosts

and generate service instances for the product of those two sets. (The 
hosts are part of a farm.)

It's obviously possible to get a lot of the way using service templates, 
but as far as I can tell I still have to write a service definition per 
(host, service template) pair.

I'm aware that there may be design issues I've missed - naming 
considerations or suchlike. I think it'd be desirable to be able to 
specify groups of hosts and groups of service templates and (with a 
small number of additional declarations) create service instances. So 
(a) am I just being dumb and missing an already-extant capability; (b) 
is there a fundamental reason why this doesn't fit in nagios' design; 
(c) is the typical thing in this situation to do what I already do and 
generate the configs mechanically?

Cheers,

OK, I have find the explanation as what means a "check_interval" being set 
to 0 in the documentation of Nagios 3 (we are using 2.9 here): 0 means 
*regular* host checks are not performed. Which is good.

I have another question now: Are on-demand host checks scheduled when a 
service transits in a *soft* not-OK state or when it transits in a *hard* 
not-ok state?

This is a quite important question since knowing the answer to this 
question will influence the value I'm gonna set for the host 
"max_check_attempts" parameter: When "on-demand host checks" are scheduled 
when a service transits in a *hard* not-OK state, I will set the host 
"max_check_attempts" to a lower value than when "on-demand host checks" 
are scheduled when a service transits in a *hard* not-OK state (since I'm 
more confident in the service check result).

Also, there is something else not very clear in Nagios 3 documentation:

(from http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/hostchecks.html)
"Hosts which have their max_check_attempts value set to 1 can cause 
serious performance problems. The reason? If Nagios needs to determine 
their true state using the network reachability logic (to see if they're 
DOWN or UNREACHABLE), it will have to launch serial checks of all of the 
host's immediate parents. Just to reiterate, those checks are run serially
, rather than in parallel, so it can cause a big performance hit. For this 
reason, I would recommend that you always use a value greater than 1 for 
the max_check_attempts directives in your host definitions."

Well, I believe the writer of this documentation but I don't understand 
why setting this parameter to 1 will serialize the host's parents checks. 
Can someone explain me this point?

Best regards,

Cyrille

The host check behavior can be different under nagios-3. Since you say  
you're using 2.9, I'll respond in that manner.

Soft. The first non-OK service check results in a host check.

There are other factors that you need to consider. Under 2.x, all host  
checks are performed serially. While a host check is being performed,  
up to max_check_attempts, all other nagios tasks stop completely. This  
can lead to unexpectedly high latencies on problem networks if you  
don't optimize your host check commands to complete as quickly as  
possible and still be confident the host is down. A single ping with 3  
max check attempts for example. Just enough to be sure the host is  
really down.

I don't believe I can answer this any more specifically at this point.  
I haven't examined the code for 3.x much yet.

This error means that either --

- $USER1$ isn't set or is set to the wrong path
- check_nfsmount isn't under $USER1$ path
- check_nfsmount is a script that calls some other program that  
doesn't exist where specified.

I think you can get close to what you want. Servicegroups are just for  
CGI display purposes but in a service definition you can specify  
hostgroups instead of specific hosts.

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

All Hosts In Multiple Hostgroups: If you want to create identical  
services that are assigned to all hosts in one or more hostgroups, you  
can do so by creating a single service definition. How? The  
hostgroup_name directive allows you to specify the name of one or more  
hostgroups that the service should be created for:

	define service{
		hostgroup_name		HOSTGROUP1,HOSTGROUP2,...,HOSTGROUPN
		service_description	SOMESERVICE
		other service directives ...
		}

The definition above would create a service called SOMESERVICE on all  
hosts that are members of hostgroups HOSTGROUP1 through HOSTGROUPN.  
All the instances of the SOMESERVICE service would be identical (i.e.  
have the same check command, max check attempts, notification period,  
etc.).

Thanks, that's what I thought - it appears to for all but the flapping options.
I should add that this applies to the global flap detection option as well.

Would you (or anyone) mind testing this on your own installation:

- find a host/service for which flapping is enabled
- disable flap detection for that host/service; wait until that state is
  reflected in the extended info
- reload the configs
- check the state of flap detection - has it reverted to enabled?

I'm not sure what you mean here - which directives _can't_ be overridden by the
retention file?

They were cut and pasted from live configs, so yeah.

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

Thanks

I have already done that and re-compiled nagios. The problem is how ndo2db
is putting info into mysql, that is where the issue comes from.

Actually, I too get a similar error you yours, on starting NDO:

Jan 23 17:08:09 hostname ndo2db: Error: mysql_query() failed for 'INSERT INTO nagios_configfilevariables SET instance_id='1', configfile_id='1', varname='cfg_dir', varvalue='/opt/nagios/etc/cfg/hostgroup1''

And I have a working NagVis setup, so I am not sure whether that error is the actual cause of your problem.

nagiosNotRunning: NDOMy: Nagios not running (Backend ndomy_1)
NDO reports that Nagios is not running

When I check my logs, this is the error I get.

Any idea on how I can fix this. I am running centos 5.0

This is likely something to do with your socket file.

Check the socket file in ndo2db configuration file, mine is in:

/opt/nagios/var/ndo.sock

It is referenced in ndo2db.cfg with this line:

socket_name=/opt/nagios/var/ndo.sock

if socket exists, it may have been created with insufficient permissions, or the directory mask was bad, remove the file, check permissions and restart ndo.

Thanks

I'm using Nagios 2.9, NdoUtils 1.4.7b7 and NagVis 1.1.2

Not any problems, I just followed the README's and posted minor issues
with descriptions as to the particular problems on the list to resolve
all my problems.

Caveat- I don't use nagvis or ndo but... my first guess would be a mysql
permissions issue. Does the user that ndo is connecting to the mysql
database as have insert permissions for that table? Are any of the db
updates working?

I can confirm that it ignores the retention file setting with
nagios-2.7. I don't have a more recent version up to test with.

I meant that the template really was applied to the hosts/services.

I'd say that's a bizarre and non-obvious resolution. I don't understand
how the error you posted would be related. Interesting...

Do you have SELinux enabled? Is it blocking read access? The default
SELinux policy typically only affects the CGI's but you may have a more
restrictive policy enforced. Also, are the permissions on
/usr/local/nagios/etc/ and above 755 or set so that the nagios user has
read/execute access?

Thanks.  Bummer - I'm still trying to find something that points to this being
intentional.  I'll ask on nagios-devel...

Well, assuming any status data that gets fed to the state files and via the NEB
is accurate, then my configs match my live settings.  I'm verifying by seeing
what ends up in the status_file and state_retention_file, as well as the
NDO-fed database.

I have been digging though commands.c to see what I can find out. One thing
that stands out is that Nagios 2.x calls process_external_command() which
has a void return, and Nagios 3.x calls process_external_command1() which
returns an int. It seems the 3.x implementation is, in fact, checking for
errors in the command its attempting to process and will return -2 if it
encounters any problems. This would be quite helpful in determining the
status of a submitted command, but unfortunately the return value of both
check_external_command1() and check_external_command2() is never considered
by the calling function. Because of this, commands that are malformed or
have other issues are silently ignored and check_for_external_commands()
will always return OK. It seems like some effort was put into better error
handling in the external command algorithm, but the changes don't seem to
actually have any effect. I'm curious as to why this is, as it affects the
code I am adding to track the progress of an external command from
submission to completion.

Thanks,

Hi Mark, All,

First thanks for the quick response I appreciate your help.

The test harness is run by a simple batch script on each client machine, if I execute it the harness is on & I can verify that with the following command from command line, using the -s that you suggested.

 ./check_http  -I 10.77.40.123 -p 2000 -s "QA-testHarness"

HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0.340 second response time |time=0.339870s;;;0.000000 size=5505B;;;0

If i close the harness I correctly get the following response with the same command

Connection refused
HTTP CRITICAL - Unable to open TCP socket

I've edited my commands.cfg to include the -s 

command_line    $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -u $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$

Within my windows.cfg I have altered check command for check_http to include the -s.

check_command            check_http!2000!/test/results!QA-testHarness

Please correct me if I am wrong with either of these two, I'm still getting to grips with the proper syntax to use here.

So I do a pre-flight check & reboot nagios, then via the web interface I force a service check on check_http with the harness down so I should get an error, however it still passes successfully.

My apache logs show no errors, and the following for the checks.

127.0.0.1 - nagiosadmin [24/Jan/2008:16:56:01 +0000] "GET /nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=PONGO&service=HTTP HTTP/1.1" 200 9709 "http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070417 Fedora/2.0.0.3-4.fc7 Firefox/2.0.0.3"

This should be failing loudly. It can't be what nagios is actually
using. The command being executed by nagios would be --

/path/to/plugins/check_http -H  -p pongo -u 2000

$ ./check_http -H 172.27.0.101 -p pongo -u 2000
check_http: Invalid port number - pongo

It's getting a 200 (successful) response code from your webserver.
You're not testing what you think you're testing.

Check your web server logs to see what nagios really is checking. You
might also be interested in the -s option to verify output from your
webserver.

Subject: Perf Data Issue
Message-ID: <3c3d11cf0801240931g76dffa65h44f414df0215569f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Firstly, thanks for everyone involved with Nagios, its a fantastic
piece of softwarel!

My problem is that I cannot enable performance data from my monitors.
I'm running the latest version of nagios2 which I downloaded a week
ago, and compiled it with the default perfdata setting.

I have also installed pnp successfully, however it tells me that there
are no valid rrdfiles in the given host's directory.

I've set up the follow configuration options in my nagios.cfg:

process_performance_data=1

host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

And in my commands.cfg

define command {
       command_name    process-host-perfdata
#       command_line    /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl -d HOSTPERFDATA
        command_line    /bin/echo -e
"$LASTCHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$HOSTSTATE$\t$HOSTATTEMPT$\t$STATETYPE$\t$EXECUTIONTIME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$"
>> /usr/local/nagios/var/host-perfdata

Notice I've commented out the process_perfata.pl line in favour of a
simple echo to a file, just for testing.

I have also restarted the nagios process to take into account my changes.

I have a host set up to monitor with the check_icmp command:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 30524 2007-10-22 15:17 check_icmp

A simple check determines that it's returning performance data:
./check_icmp -H 128.1.2.181
      OK - 128.1.2.181: rta 0.451ms, lost
0%|rta=0.451ms;200.000;500.000;0; pl=0%;40;80;;

And the service command looks like:

define service{
        use                           generic-service
        host_name                Virgin.Invader            ; All our
boxes are named after trains
        service_description     ICMP Echo Stats
        check_command        check_icmp
}

Within Nagios I get the status printed without problems, but no
/usr/local/nagios/var/host-perfdata exists.

I've checked books and online articles for a solution but I guess I
must be doing something fundimentally wrong.

Any help would be massively appreciated!?

Thanks,
Paul

Yes, the ARGx use is correct now. I assume that when it's working, your
test harness actually displays the text 'QA-testHarness' in the page.

You want to check the web server logs on the machine running your test
harness. That's the server returning the 200 OK that nagios is properly
accepting as successful. You'll want to verify that the request is
actually for the host/port/url you think it is.

However, based on what you've shown above and your previous post, I
suspect that you have multiple copies of nagios running, one with an old
configuration and one with the new. Stop nagios and make sure it's
really stopped, then start again.

Do you use regular host checks with Nagios 2.x ? Tis is not the best 
Idea i think.

OK, check_icmp looks good.

Is "process_perf_data 1" set in your service definition or templates ?

Thats OK. PNP dont need this file if your using the PNP Default Mode.

> I've checked books and online articles for a solution but I guess I
> must be doing something fundimentally wrong.

First choose the right mode for your installation.
http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/modes

Configure PNP based on http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/config

and check the function as described on

http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/verify

Kind regards,
J?rg

You mean $HOSTNAME$. This also means that host_name in your host{}
definition much be fully qualified or otherwise resolvable.

Good one. Implemented.

I'm on latest 3.x with just a few hosts.

I wouldn't know how to tweak it, but I'm trying "check_icmp -n 1"
at the moment, and it seems to take about 1.08 to 1.15 seconds.
Good enough maybe? Or can you give any further advice on tweaking
check_icmp?

Seems like a good idea. I have a feeling that
the new "Adaptive Monitoring" might be useful.
I will try that in the next step of testing.

Thanks for your help, I'll report back to this
list on my progress.

Thanks

what's the view on Opsview? Is it just, more or less, a wrapper for
Nagios? Easier or more difficult to manage than plane Nagios? Addons
like Nagvis work with it (or is Nagvis unnecessary?)?

99% of us are nagios users like yourself. We can speculate and some even
have a little inside knowledge about parts of nagios but Ethan, the
primary developer and sole maintainer, doesn't watch this list. If you
have questions about why something is the way it is you'll probably have
better luck on nagios-devel.

I can see that using the OCP Daemon script cut down on my latencies
quite a lot.  Unfortunately,
I'm still seeing some "stale" checks on the master server that I can't
explain.  I'm starting to
get the feeling that going distributed isn't all it's cracked up to be.
I haven't seen mention in
the docs of the caveats with oc[sh]p and latencies (my books sure don't
mention it) and even the
fact that the supplied submit_service_check script in the distribution
from Ethan is a shell
script that pipes to send_nsca.  I'm not all that excited about having
to do a workaround
for this issue.

While the OCP_Daemon seems to help me, I'm a little uncomfortable
running it as a solution to our
issue.  First, we don't normally have root access on our boxes so
recreating the FIFOs could be
a problem (or at least a wait).  I'm also concerned about requiring
another process external to
Nagios as part of the process.  If OCP_Daemon dies at some point, my
distributed nodes are hosed.
I had a few issues with correctly starting Nagios and OCP_Daemon in the
right order when playing
with it last night.  Once I got it all going, it worked well but I'm
thinking of having to explain
this to someone here who isn't the Nagios person.

I was thinking of your fork/exec comment above.  What if one were to
rewrite the "glue" shell
script (the one that takes the output from Nagios and pipes it to
send_nsca) and do something
similar, but write it in C?  Additionally, have the parent fork and exit
(causing Nagios to
think the oc[sh]p completed very quickly) then have the child go on and
send output to send_nsca
separately.  For my setup, this has the advantage of not being a
separate process that I need to
make sure continues to run.  It also doesn't require synchronizing
listeners on both ends of a pipe
or else one process would hang.  It would almost be even better, it
seems to me, if this script
could do the send_nsca functionality (again, as the child) instead of
even having to call send_nsca.
The biggest drawback I can see there is that you can't edit the C
program to show destination server,
etc.  You'd just about have to pile on a ton of command line options or
have a config file for it.

Just thinking out loud.

On a related note, I see that according to my performance stats, some
checks are still taking a
very long time to run.  Is there some easy way I can see check execution
time per check and track
down which checks are taking such a long time?

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,
I have been having similar problems with my distributed setup. The  
OCSP daemon reduced the latency in returning check results greatly,  
but I still am seeing (seemingly) random services go stale. I'm still  
try to track down the problem, recreating it on a small scale has so  
far been unsuccessful. I will let you (and the list) know how my  
investigations go.
As for determining the execution time of a particular check, this can  
be found in retention.dat. The field is check_execution_time=

There is also writing a BAT file to do it If you already have the file
created,
This is How I Test NSCA is running when my test server is up from the
command line.
something like:
send_nsca.exe <inputfile.txt
>From C#  Start a Process that is the Bat file,
once again, readup in the msdn library about processes and redirecting the
standard INput  from consol  to a filestream. both consol and filestream
inherit from iostream and thus are accepted as io for processes
I thought I mentioned this in the last message?

The important things are the critical thresholds and timeout value. The
timeout you specify is the maximum time the plugin will take before
returning, but it may take more if the number of packet * critical
threshold is higher. Try on an unresponsive IP that doesn't return back
ICMP errors (will depend on your network; you can try IPs like
10.10.10.10, 1.2.3.4, or an unused IP on your *local* network not going
trough the default gateway).

That's not a big deal since you're using Nagios 3, but if it ever find
you're having too many concurrent processes or too running host on
system time, reducing the timeout will certainly help.

Although I haven't been able to reproduce it on a test setup recently,
some time ago when we had a few passive checks running with Cron on all
servers we had problems with checks going stale. All the crons running
at the same time flodded Nagios with data and caused this behavior. I
didn't find the root cause at that time, but I found out that
artificially filling up the pipe while the checks were coming back in
clearly showed up the problem, although all NSCA were successfully
writing to the pipe as Nagios was reading it. I also had much less
passive checks than the default 1024 buckets in the Nagios buffer, to
this couldn't have been the issue. I reported it on Nagios-devel at that
time but haven't got any follow-ups.

I'm not sure if it only affects specific archs or have been fixed since
then, but that could be the problem you're having. OTOH the tests I ran
with OCP_Daemon were pretty hardcore, feeding it with hundreads of megs
of random check results as fast as possible, in different mode of
operation, and checking if all check results came back from the NSCA
daemon, so I'd be surprised it would have anything to do with that.

What you could try is:

1. Shutting off OC[HS]P on all but one server
2. Running -r0 to try to avoid batched results to send_nsca.

And check if it has any impact. Also make sure you have
command_check_interval=-1 in nagios.cfg on the central server.

BTW which version of Nagios and NSCA are you using?

Subject: Sending an "all is well" status report
Message-ID: <022e01c85f06$0bb2f860$6402a8c0@KREMERHOME>

I finally have Nagios working the way I want it and I'm about to replace our old What's Up Gold monitoring software. What's Up does have one feature that I like that I can't figure out how to reproduce with Nagios. It has a "recurring notification" feature that can send e-mail alerts containing the last few lines of the event log and "200 hosts up, 0 down". I like seeing that in my e-mail ever hour or two because it let me know that What's Up is still working correctly. I'd like a periodic status e-mail from Nagios if it's possible.

I'm not sure if I'm not searching using the correct terminology or if nobody really does this. I know I could do something like write a little shell script and check nagios.log periodically for auto-save entries, I'm just wondering if there is some builtin way.

Subject: Internet Connectivity Monitoring
Message-ID: <9D30659ABCA7FB428CF91E386C3A5744BD8BD1@hermes.sapphire-int.gi>

Hi List,

As part of our Internet Connectivity monitoring I monitor a set of
websites on the Internet from a diverse number of locations
geographically.

There are some issues with this:

(a) I have to avoid sites that use Content Delivery Systems such as
Akamai, because as we host such boxes ourselves the websites actually
load from local servers which we host rather than the intended
geographic location. Most large sites such as www.yahoo.com and
www.google.com use these content delivery systems.
(b) I have to avoid small sites which often go down due to lack of
redundancy in their implementation.
(c) I have to avoid sites which might get pretty annoyed that I'm
pulling their homepage once every 10-15 minutes just to see if I'm
getting good access.

I would like to hear from others on the list as to what they do to check
Internet Connectivity and whether they do any smart stuff to include
multiple connectivity checks as a single service check.

What do you do?

Thanks

Giles

Indeed it is, thankfully it's in the NagVis FAQ! :-)

The MySQL error he got from NDO is common to quite a few installations,
and doesn't appear to affect NDO's operation. So, a red herring.

The explanation on the Nagvis page is as follows:

The NDO Backend checks the database if Nagios reports itself as running
by getting the field is_currently_running from <prefix>_programstatus
table. Seems there is something wrong with your NDO setup. In some
Nagios/NDO installations is a bug whit updating the
<prefix>_programstatus table. 

The FAQ continues to say that the programstatus table is only updated if
check_external_commands is set to 1.

We monitor our upstream provider core routers. Basically, we monitor every
physical device between us and them. So, if any device goes down, we can
tell where the problem is originating from.
Secondly, if you have a co-located server outside your network, you can
monitor that as well.

Hi Alex,

 

Unfortunately most of our upstreams implement CPP (Control Plane
Policing) to prevent DDoS attacks, which essentially means that given a
certain threshold of ICMP messages the routers begin to drop those
packets purposefully to avoid flooding the routers control plane. I do
monitor those, but have notifications turned off because of the false
positives.

 

The other problem is that one of the scenarios I see once in a while is
one of our upstreams may withdraw all their BGP routes and while BGP
converges we may see momentary loss to certain sites. We use BGP
communities to define which provider we use for different geographic
locations, so having geographic monitors is quite important for us
(unfortunately, not important enough to host our own servers in those
geographic locations, nor to use a performance monitoring service such
as Keynote for the same).

 

Even worse, thankfully only happened just once, one of our upstreams
encountered an issue where they lost connectivity, but didn't withdraw
their BGP routes from our tables. (Ouch!).

 

Cheers,

 

Giles

Hi List,

As part of our Internet Connectivity monitoring I monitor a set of 
websites on the Internet from a diverse number of locations
geographically.

There are some issues with this:

(a) I have to avoid sites that use Content Delivery Systems such as
Akamai, because as we host such boxes ourselves the websites actually 
load from local servers which we host rather than the intended
geographic location. Most large sites such as www.yahoo.com and
www.google.com use these content delivery systems.
(b) I have to avoid small sites which often go down due to lack of
redundancy in their implementation.
(c) I have to avoid sites which might get pretty annoyed that I'm 
pulling their homepage once every 10-15 minutes just to see if I'm
getting good access.

I would like to hear from others on the list as to what they do to check
Internet Connectivity and whether they do any smart stuff to include 
multiple connectivity checks as a single service check.

What do you do?

Thanks

Giles

Hmmm,

I would say your upstream providers should allow your nagios server
(router) icmp access without applying their DDoS ACLs but again, it's
difficult to get other people to work with you when you don't control
the resources.

Subject: Problems with check_snmp_netint
Message-ID: <20080125115710.S50828-100000@xs2.xs4all.nl>

Hi all,

I'm trying to get check_snmp_int working on a Juniper.
snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 <hostname> system
works nicely.
I'm trying to do something with octets, being:
snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 <hostname> .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6
gives me exactly what I'm looking for.

I want Nagios to trigger on certain levels of packets coming in.

Problem is,
./check_snmp_netint.pl -n 'lot's of different things tried' -H <hostname>
-C public .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6
just responds with:
No answer from host <hostname>

Naturally, if snmpwalk can connect, so should this script.
It just always gives me that same response.
I also tried eth, fxp<x>, *, atm or whatever with -n.

What could I be doing wrong?

Cheers, Bas.

gotta admit, i didn't know about opsview until i saw this post ...

looks pretty cool and seems like it adds some slightly more robust elements
into nagios (like backend db).

i'm curious to to hear people's opinions here ...

is the backend DB really needed?

one thing I REALLY like about Opsview is the check_timeperiod_command patch
(http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2007/04/changing_a_serv.html) ... i need
to alter my thresholds based on time and would prefer not to have duplicate
service checks ...

so, any opsview users out there?

A lot of people complain about managing the configuration files, so  
Opsview provides a web front end to do this: http://opsview.org/about

A lot of people want a distributed setup, so we make that easy to do  
and maintain: http://opsview.org/distributedmonitoring

A lot of people want the integration with NDO, so we've invested time  
in that: http://opsview.org/architecture

A lot of people want a view on all their host and services in a  
hierarchical fashion, so we've got one: http://opsview.org/hostgrouphierarchy

A lot of people want a big screen showing the status of a few items: http://opsview.org/viewports

So yes, it is a wrapper to Nagios, because Nagios is the world's most  
popular monitoring system and it would be silly of us to re-rewrite  
that. But I think Opsview gives a lot more above it. And we give a lot  
back to this project too: http://altinity.org.

> Addons
> like Nagvis work with it (or is Nagvis unnecessary?)?

You can use Nagvis. In fact, one of our contributors, Jose Luis  
Martinez at Capside (http://opsview.org/contributors), has been doing  
some work on that. We hope to get it committed into our upcoming 2.12  
release in February.

Subject: notes_url && $USERX$
Message-ID: <200801251241.59472.dani@tydnet.org>

Hi all, 


we are planning to migrate our nagios installation from one machine to another 
one and we noticed that we had a lot of things hardcoded in the 
configuration.

We would like to reference our wiki url in the notes_url so we can eventally 
migrate from one server to the other:

notes_url $USER11$/$HOSTNAME$

but this doesn't seem to work:

nagios.myhost.tld/nagios

and no the expected nagios.myhost.tld/wiki/nagios.

I suspect this could be due to restrictions in macros but not sure about that.

we are working with nagios 2.10.

Does anyone know how we could do this?

thanks in advance.

Dani

I want to define several hostgroups (for many virtual hosts) that belong
to the same hostgroup called website:

define hostgroup{

        alias            All Web Sites

define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  tck-websites
        alias           TCK Web Sites
        }


And then define a service that uses the parent hostgroup (website):

 define service{
        ; The 'name' of this service template, referenced in other
service definitions
        name                            sites-service

Buenos d?as, estamos tratando de tomar los eventos de nuestro servidor 
ISASERVER y nos d? este error. En el servidor ya abrimos el puerto 12489 
y creamos las reglas de entrada y salida. Tambi?n agregamos la m?quina 
como estaci?n autorizada para la administraci?n del ISA y sin embargo 
nos sigue dando error.

   Agradecido de sus comentarios al respecto.

Hi, they're trying to get events from their Microsoft ISA Server and they're getting the error shown. They've opened the port and set up the rules for both incoming and outgoing packets. They also added the system as an authorised manager of the ISA Server. But they still get the error.

This appears to be a NSClient++ issue from the GIF they embedded in the email.

I would like to know whether they can netcat or telnet to whatever port NSClient++ is configured to use to confirm that the Firewall on the ISA Server really is correctly configured.
I'd also like to know whether NSClient++ really is running on the ISA Server system.
As it's a firewall the best way to troubleshoot this would be to run packet captures on both systems (Nagios and ISA) and confirm whether filtering is hampering the monitoring of the server.

Thanks

Giles

Subject: Memory and fork problem with Nagios 2.9
Message-ID: <A1421EA9FE47904798C642D7131EF3301DF5BF86@s2itpsmex1>

Hi list,
I'm quit new to Nagios, and I would know if someone can help me.

This is my enviroment:
 - VMWare Virtual machine running over Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
with 2 GB RAM
 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga) installed on the VM
 - NAGIOS 2.9 with embedded perl
 - NET-SNMP

I'm testing this enviroment to monitor some network devices using snmp
plugins (I wasn't able to run the
plugins without embedded perl). At the moment I'm monitoring 17 hosts
(Routers, switches and 1 firewall)
and 70 services (especially ports on routers with "check_ifstatus" plugin).

My problem is that all the time that I start Nagios, very slowly, memory
used by Nagios goes up (And I see that
memory used by nagios childs to execute plugins is the same as the parent
process) until I begin to find in
nagios.log the message: "Warning: The check of service 'xxx' on host 'yyy'
could not be performed due to a
fork() error.  The check will be rescheduled.". If I restart Nagios the
situations is always the same (It
takes a couple of days to arrive to the critical state)

First I though about a problem with Nagios configuration but after some
tuning I'm quite sure that the
configuration is ok (No problem with user configuration or
"service_reaper_frequency").

I read a post that was talking about known memory leak problems with
embedded perl, could anyone explain to
me a little bit better the problem?

Is there any workaround or patch?

Thankyou very much for the help

Just out of curiosity, have you tried to telnet to Servidor ISASERVER on
port 12489 from your Nagios system? At least that will tell you if you are
having a firewall/routing/networking issue.

Good morning, we are trying to take the events of our server ISASERVER and
gives us this error. In the server since we opened the 12489 port and create
the rules of entry and exit. We also added the machine as a station
authorized for the administration of the ISA and yet we still gives mistake.

Message-ID: <732873.84364.qm@web27612.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Hi guys, hi Nagios addict !  
 
  Well, here?s my problem:
 
 I discovered Nagios Looking Glass soon, and I'm trying to get same contact management as I have on my nagios server:
 
contact 1 ==> can only see his devices
contact 2 ==> can only see his devices
....
Actually, each users can see all the devices.. not very secured.
 
I saw on the mailing-list archive that many persons tried to put this feauture in their servers, but no one send what he found ...
 
As anybody find the solutions ? Andy Shellam (NLG developper)  said me that it'll be a new feature in NLGV2, but I need it right now !
 
Thanks for all your help
 
Nicolas

This is just generally bad behavior. Statement (c) tells me you  
already know this.

- verify interface status via SNMP
- ping all our local internet connected interfaces (redundant to the  
above)
- verify all our BGP sessions are up and with the proper peers.
- where permitted/possible, ping the remote connected interface
- Pay for a colocated/hosted box outside of our network that we can  
monitor to/from. This is useful not only for monitoring but general  
troubleshooting of our and other networks from the outside.

- we don't use it but check_cluster(2) could be used to verify that  
all of several internet connections are up and notify appropriately.

You can't always be guaranteed that it's reachable. Many providers,  
including us, have long since moved to using RFC1918 addresses on our  
internal transit-only devices.

With a just-now working NDO installation we are now curious if we have
options to to brighten the user experience in browsing the Nagios cgis.

We are currently planning to do a three-level maps-in-maps
implementation in NagVis, to mirror the grouping of hostgroups in
Nagios. So, first level map would be a map of host groups, next level
map is the map of hosts in the host groups, last level map is the map of
services at the host. Similar for service groups.

But, we were wondering - is there any software package already doing
this kind of pre-rendered / cached views kind of processing? Preferably,
we would like to have response times down from 10-30 seconds to 1-2
seconds per view. We are aware that the NagVis implementation doesn't
solve the problem that as soon as you want to touch the configuration
(perhaps set scheduled maintenance, disable notifications or the like),
you are back in the slow response times, but we hope it can help in
providing the "tactical overview" faster.

Nagios is replacing and extending a Big Brother installation here which
was using pre-rendered HTML for its pages, so that is pretty hard to
beat - but how close can we get / what do you guys do?

We are monitoring 8000+ services / 1000+ hosts in a distributed setup,
our installation is running Solaris.

Best regards,
Steffen Poulsen

Yes, I have reservations about that; though, thankfully some of our
customers are grateful that we proactively monitor their websites &
their remote VPN endpoints. Unfortunately that doesn't have the
geographical footprint I would like. It would be nice for there to exist
a xx.ping-me.net service... so one could uk.ping-me.net, br.ping-me.net,
sg.ping-me.net, it could even be a paid service if firewalled to just
subscribing IPs.

This won't work with our specific setup, there is some transparent
equipment between our layer-3 equipment and the upstreams, but would be
handled by SNMP TRAP emissions from our equipment anyway.

I do already do this, with a check BGP plugin, it's good, but doesn't
cover every type of problem and I would like to see a plugin that checks
the number of routes that have been received from each peer,
unfortunately I don't think that's supported via SNMP for our Cisco kit
(It does exist for Juniper though) and I'm against doing any check by
ssh because of the time it takes for such checks to complete.

> - where permitted/possible, ping the remote connected interface

Yes, we do that, though Control Plane Policing gets in the way for most
of our peers. It doesn't provide the End-to-End test I'm trying to find
though.

I would really like this, especially as some remote hosting is pretty
cheap, and the bandwidth requirements are pretty low. Perhaps we need to
cost what this would amount to and make an internal proposal.

Thanks - I will certainly check that one out.

This is standard nagios behavior if you Configure Authorization for  
the CGI's. Users can only see devices that they are contacts for.

<snip>
We use Nagios regular expressions heavily to monitor our microperimeter
network security setup using ISCS (http://iscs.sourceforge.net).  We
have found that more complex regular expressions don't work. e.g., 

dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-\(?:Chattanooga|Midlothian\)$

But simple ones like yours do, e.g., 

dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-Midlothian$

I believe your problem is that you must set
use_regexp_matching=1
to use regular expressions at all.  We keep 
use_true_regexp_matching=0
because we do not want simple strings being misinterpreted as regular
expressions.

Hope this helps - John

Hallo,

a little question before searching for hours.
I n my map a system has a green cross allthough one service is "red".
My question:
Does this "cross" change its colour depending to the state of services?

Thanks for a short hint.

Hi Steffen,
please ask Lars Michelsen ( NagVis main developer ) about the new 
automap functions designed vor NagVis 1.3

I think the most work is done.

Kind regards

How do I blow away old queue paging/email messages for Nagios?  The
reason I ask is that our host losses connectivity and Nagios keeps on
performing the checks and when I reboot the host, Nagios starts paging
and emailing out the queued messages.  We are running Nagios as a
Solaris Zone.

 

Thanks

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.

This is standard nagios behavior if you Configure Authorization for 
the CGI's. Users can only see devices that they are contacts for.

Subject: Service Dependency Not Working
Message-ID: <Pine.BSO.4.64.0801251257350.23706@mrk.chubbo.net>

I have been using nagios for several years with wonderful success.  (Thank 
you to all who have contributed.)

I have a problem with the service dependency not working as I expect.  We 
are using Nagios v2.9 running on linux (CentOS).

I am using NRPE to check several services such as load, users, procs, etc.
I plan to make all NRPE dependent services begin with a double underscore
(__) and use a regular expression in the service dependency to have
the functioning of the NRPE daemon be the master service upon which
all other NRPR services depend.  (Such as below.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
define servicedependency{
         dependent_host_name             HOSTNAME
         dependent_service_description   __*
         host_name                       HOSTNAME
         service_description             NRPE Daemon
         execution_failure_criteria      n
         notification_failure_criteria   w,c,u,p
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

To confirm running of NRPE, I am using check_dummy

   command[check_dummy]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dummy 0


I have been running tests with no success.  I received notifications of 
the dependendent services even if I shutdown NRPE on the target host.

I have tried multiple iterations of the configuration.  I even simplified 
the test by reconfiguring the service dependency stanza to be:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
define servicedependency{
         dependent_host_name             test2
         dependent_service_description   __Total Processes
         host_name                       test2

I run the simplified test by setting the critical value for the number of 
processes very low and configure check_dummy to return CRITICAL.  Nagios 
sends out two notifications when I schedule a check of services on host 
"test2".

I have used service dependencies in the past on older versions of Nagios 
(v1.x).  Is there something I am overlooking?

Many thanks for any help I can get.

Subject: NRPE problems
Message-ID: <914abb5c0801251520s44de3044jc6bee5a7b6ac152a@mail.gmail.com>

I have successfully installed nagios, nsclient and nrpe multiple times.
However, the most recent installation of NRPE is not working. I am running
Ubuntu 7.10 and have verified that it is fully updated and all needed libs
are installed. After completing the installation of both the Nagios plug-ins
as well as the NRPE client...the client is not running. When preforming the
local check

netstat -at | grep nrpe

nothing is printed. Additionally when running

"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost"

the output is

"Connection refused by host"


Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

It's pretty obvious it's not running -- but since you haven't mentioned
what you've done to make it run, it's hard to say why it doesn't work.
It could be as simple as not having tried to start it.

Subject: Service checks on hosts which are not up 24x7
Message-ID: <200801260151.41489.nospam001-lists@jankoh.dyndns.org>

Hello all,

I'm monitoring my small private net using nagios and it works well. But I have 
a (hopefully simply to answer) question:

Some of the hosts are workstations which may go down at some time due to 
energy saving reasons. I want the services, which I monitor on those hosts to 
change their status to 'unknown' instead of 'critical' if those hosts are 
down.

Something like:
if $host up:
	check services and report errors
else:
	don't check and give 'unknown' status

I'm sure this must be possible using service-dependencies but I'm not sure how 
to do this. Could somebody please give me a hint where to look in the 
documentation or how this could be managable?

If you need detailed configuration items, please let me know.

TIA!

Whether a service is critical, unknown or otherwise depends on how the
plugin is implemented, and there's no global setting you can use to make
them behave the way you're looking for.  Service dependencies also won't
help, since all they do is determine whether or not to check or notify
on a service based on the state of another service, but have no effect
on the return value of the plugins.

To get what you're looking for, you'll probably need to come up with
some sort of wrapper script for your plugins that modifies the return
value based on the status of the host they are associated with.

Hi,

There is a small thing that bothers me a bit with the Tactical Overview.

If a user can only see a small subset of all hosts the tactical overview
page will not show as all green if their hosts are running just fine.

Is their a way to make sure that page only counts the hosts/services as
that user can see them?

I was not able to find a solution in the manual or through a search in
the archives. But I just might have missed it.

I beg to differ.

If you setup dependencies correctly you should get close to the
requested results. Say you ping them every minute and make sure that the
ping service goes into hard state at the third failure it will just fail
that service.

Make all other service dependent on that and make sure they do not reach
hard state before ping does.

Now only ping will be able to bother you an if you choose not to notify
on that you should have no notifications when these machines are
switched off.

Why you bother to monitor machines like this in the first place is quite
another question. They obviously are not critical.

Subject: Nagios LAN or DMZ?
Message-ID: <7fedbc910801260307w2037f49brfb949239134406@mail.gmail.com>

Hi!

I'm installing Nagios because I need to remote monitor some customers' server.
I need an advise from you.
I have two servers in my office, one in the DMZ network and another on
the LAN network.
I am undecided on what of these two servers it is better to install Nagios.
I need to monitor my internal LAN servers with NRPE (and I don't want
to make two installations of Nagios), so if I install Nagios on the
DMZ server I must forward the packets to the nrpe port from the DMZ
network to the LAN network.

What do you think it is better to do?

Thank you very much for your help!
Bye.

Install Nagios on the LAN. Then let Nagios contact the NRPE instance in
your DMZ.

That way you have only to allow a session from your LAN to your DMZ
which is the more common way to allow traffic through a firewall.

There is a simple answer. Organize them the way you feel comfortable
with the files/directories.

In my new setup I use a 1 file, 1 object approach. That makes it very
simple to automate tasks but it may not suite your way of thnking at
all. And I am not sure to what level it will scale. I am sure I might
run into trouble if I have 1000's of files. But I do not expect to hit
that mark anytime soon.

Ok, thank you very much! I'm doing right :-)

I have another question for you.
I monitor the Internet (WAN) connection through a simply check_ping
service, but I need to make all the remote services dependently from
it and from the local DNS service.
How I have to configure Nagios if I want it not to notify me all the
remote services critical status if the WAN connection or the local DNS
service don't work (but of course I want to receive the notification
about the WAN connection and/or the local DNS service). Simply, I
don't want receive 1000 useless and boring alarms :-)

Could you help me please?
Thank you very much again!

Read the manual and mailinglist archives about parents and dependencies.
This subject is a reoccuring thing.

Subject: NSClient issue (Unknown alerts)
Message-ID: <000801c8605e$3c315f00$d7ea4bc9@company787f011>

Hi, guys and ladies :)

Now, I'm experiencing a problem regarding NSClient++.
I'm monitoring a Windows workstation on my LAN. I configured NSClient++ following its documentation.
Now, that workstation shows unknown alerts for CPU load, Memory usage and Uptime with the message: NSClient - ERROR: PDH Collection thread not running.

Looking on google.com, I found that it happens when you are not using English language on Windows. Also, I did not find any resolution for that issue. 
I'm not sure if there is an issue related with the windows language.

Does somebody know how to solve this issue? 

Thanks

Ah, I begin to understand. I have ping checks for the machines, so I just need 
to add some statements. :) Thanks for clearifying my mind. I was just a bit 
confused about that dependency stuff...

I just get a note, that the host is down. This is the behavior I like to have 
and it already works that way. :-P

I am aware of that. I just want to be informed if something breaks on those 
machines (in case they are up) to be able to react as soon as possible. As I 
told: this is a small private and uncritical net. Yeah, monitoring those 
machines sounds a bit like overkill, but I like it that way. You may call me 
paranoid. :-D

Thanks again.

NO! This was the cause of the problem Adding this to the service

Hi Nicolas,

I'd e-mailed you not so long back (couple of weeks) through my personal
address about this.
I've explained what's required, and I'm happy to implement a solution for
you before v2 of NLG is developed.

If anyone else can and wants to do this, the solution is:

1. Setup HTTP authentication in Apache
2. Modify the code behind server/sync-files/s3_filter.inc.php to check the
value of $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and add different host filters depending
on the user who's logged in.

(e.g. user1 can only see host1, user2 can see any host)
if ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] == "user1")
{
// Add host filter to include "host1" only
} else if ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] == "user2") {
// Add default status filters
}

This a quick-win solution for 1.0 / 1.1.

Nic, please contact me on my personal address (remove -lists from this
e-mail address) and I'll discuss further if you still want me to implement
this for you.

Thanks,

Andy

It seems to do exactly that for me using standard authentication.

  Services
1 Critical 	0 Warning 	0 Unknown 	919 Ok 	0 Pending


That's just a small subset of the 3800 services that this login is a  
contact for.

Why are you dependent on the DNS service? Your monitoring should be as  
independent of other services as possible and this is a case where  
it's easily possible. There's no real reason you should be dependent  
on DNS except for possibly monitoring of dynamic hosts. Use IP's or if  
you really feel you must use FQDN's, put them in your hosts file. When  
your DNS service goes down, you don't want it taking down your entire  
monitoring system with it.

Message-ID: <a14adf2d0801280140l14cc87a5g1520bd2f15b6f13@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I am a bit of a Nagios newbie, and currently trying to implement a
Nagios based solution around our systems.

My most pressing problem is that of providing a simplified view of the
state of the system - a dashboard. Actually several dashboards, as
different (groups of) users have different requirements. (Note this is
just for publishing information - I'm not bothered about configuration
for now)

In a perfect world....

- the users would have some control over what gets reported, subject
to either selection from an approved shortlist, or a request/approval
approach.

- this could be displayed in a compact layout in an iframe or
otherwise embedded within other HTML pages.

Looking at the descriptions of projects in NagiosExchange...

Dashboard - seems to come close to what I need, but I'd need to setup
mod_python to get it running, and if its not what we need, we have no
Python skills here (PHP and C, no problem). The documentation provided
is not as good as it might be (where do I put this configuration?)

Groundwork Status viewer - is no longer at the link provided, I can
find the whole groundwork package - should I try to get something
working out of this?

Nagios Looking Glass - Looking at the docs I don't get the impression
that this provides a lot of facility for customizing what is actually
reported on (of course my impressions could be totally wrong)

Are these products likely to meet my needs? Worth the effort?

I'm not averse to writing some code (probably in PHP) - but I've not
yet been able to find any docs on how to get status information out of
nagios - anybody got some links?

TIA

C.

It tells you how to resolve this issue in the installation section of 
the readme.html file that comes with the nsclient download.

Subject: mrtgtraf
Message-ID: <72568.14598.qm@web57301.mail.re1.yahoo.com>

I've been working with mrtgtraf on a couple of servers, and when any of them reach the nrpe defined warning or critical threshold, the notification gives proper status but fails to present actual data.  Rather, it returns:  NRPE: Unable to read output

>From the command line, the nrpe command returns no data.  

If the status is Okay (meaning transfer is below the defined levels), it returns the proper data in both command line and in the nagios interface.

Has anyone seen this or found a correction?

Thanks,
Ilbin

I have inherited the Nagios project at the company that I just started
working for and have a few questions.

 

Sometimes when one of the services goes down and notifications are sent
out, we will receive them immediately via email but the phone/pager
alerts are sometimes taking up to 72 hours to arrive.  Is this a result
of the Nagios setup or of the cell phone companies text messaging
service?  If it is our Nagios setup, what can be done to speed this
process?  If it is the cell phone companies text messaging service, is
there anything that can be done?

 

Thanks

 

Mike

In the last couple of months emails to our user at vzw.blackberry.net accounts
have started taking up to 72 hours as well. This seems to be a problem with
the cell phone company and not nagios, as switching to
phonenumber at vtext.comresolved the problem, albeit with the increased
headache of SMS.

Hope this helps,

Scott

As a hint. Take the nagios manual and browse through it cover to cover.
Then you get a good feel for it and you an dig into the issues in the
manual first.

I sure there are subject in there that you may not understand even if
you read it a couple of times but in those cases you should be able to
be rather specific in your questions.

(I know I did not have that many questions with Nagios but the whole
concept of a CMS like WebGUI for example did not land at all with me
untill someone took me on a small tour sitting side by side.)

Check the logs and you will know if the notification was send in time.
If it ain't a nagios issue then I am afraid you should considere
switching (phone) services.

Hello,

Im using Nagios version 2.x which is bundelded in OSSIM.  I have the following client installed on a Windows 2003 Server.

NSClientpp (Nagios) 0.3.0.1 RC 2007-11-28 w32

Here is what my host status loks like.
      Host Status Services Actions 
            SPSP 
     PENDING No matching services 


How can I fix this probelm?  Thanks Michael

I may need an older client to talk to Nagios 2.x service commands.  I do not want to upgrade at the moment to Nagios 3.x

I have done further testing of the issue I am experiencing with service 
dependencies.  I originally thought that nagios had a problem with the 
number of dependencies we have (942).

I began re-testing last Friday by adding the service dependencies on a few 
hosts at a time and testing by shutting down NRPE on a specific target 
host and scheduling a check of all services on that host.  If I 
successfully received a single notification (i.e. NRPE Daemon CRITICAL), I 
would add a few more hosts, restart Nagios and repeat the test.

I was able to bring the number of service dependencies back up to 942 and 
receive a single notification (i.e. NRPE Daemon CRITICAL) as expected when 
NRPE was shutdown.

Today, (Monday) I decided to repeat the tests.  I shutdown NRPE on the 
test host and was sent 3 notifications before nagios reached the "NRPE 
Daemon" check.  Once nagios determined that NRPE was down, it stopped 
further checks of any remaining NRPE-dependent services.

My updated service dependency configuration is:

define servicedependency{
         dependent_host_name             test2
         dependent_service_description   __*
         host_name                       test2
         service_description             NRPE Daemon
         execution_failure_criteria      w,c,u,p
         notification_failure_criteria   w,c,u,p
}


I have configured nagios not to check dependent services if the master 
service (NRPE) is in anything other than an OK state.  However if a 
dependent service changes state, nagios fails to perform a check of the 
master service if it has previously done so on the check interval. 
Nagios performs checks, rechecks and sends notifications out about each 
dependent service as it reaches them in it's queue.  Further checks and 
notifications for dependent services only stop once the master check comes 
due within the scheduling queue.

I haven't looked at C code in a long while, but looking through 
bas/checks.c within the nagios source, it appears execution failure 
criteria are only examined before the service check is run.

If a service changes state nagios immediately verifies host up/down status 
with a host check following a change in service state.  After verifying 
host state, should nagios not also immediately re-check the state of 
master services?

Thanks again for your help.


Regards,
Marty Combs

Subject: no email notification

I don't receive email notifications on problems. Emailing as user nagios
from the command line works (postfix). Email address in contacts.cfg is
correct and I have the necessary lines in the service description to (I
think):

define service{
        host_name               localhost
        service_description     test_notification
        check_command           test_notification
        max_check_attempts      4
        normal_check_interval   2
        retry_check_interval    1
        check_period            24x7
        notification_interval   15
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    w,c,r
        contact_groups          beick
        }

Any idea what I have missed?

Maybe I am missing it, but I don't see that notifications_enabled being set for this service.

Subject: Nagios full copied reserve server
Message-ID: <989aee610801290730i3fac7bdej754e1d1073b60042@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everybody. I need to have nagios reserve server which will
replace the main server when it dies. I installed nagios on another
machine, copied all directory /usr/local/nagios and start reserve
service Nagios.
I have thound that statistics differs very much! Of course, nagios was
installed in different time on each server. But when I copy status.dat
file from the main server, availibility statistics on the reserve
server became the same! But AFTER RESTART it returnes to  its previos
state:(.

So, I can't solve this problem, because I can't understand what files
I need to copy in order to make  the full copy:(.

I must mention that reserve server must not work all time. It has  to
be turn on ONLY when main server dies. So, what about availibility
statistics?
How to make statistics on reserve server STRONGLY the same as on the
main server?

With the great respect to everybody, Kristine

Subject: New Checks Do not get scheduled
Message-ID: <11DE62FF9C5102478FBCC536AC27351806758C7B@OAEXCH5SERVER.oa.oclc.org>

So I have this weird circumstance where when I add new service checks
and reload nagios the system does not start running these checks. We are
using 2.9. The checks are setup as active checks. Checks that existed
before the restart seem to take up to an hour to start updating even
though all checks are set to 5 minutes and the initial service check
spread is set to 30. 

On the service detail screen the next service check time will be in the
past if we let the system alone it will start running the checks after
about an hour.

We have 6500 service checks running and the system is not loaded. 

Any Ideas?


Thanks
Brady

Sounds like you are wanting a failover system for your two Nagios
servers.

You can start reading here:

I can't find it right now but someone sent out an email saying they
could not get Nagios 2.10 to run under FreeBSD 6.3. I've upgraded two
systems to FreeBSD 6.3, both are running Nagios 2.10 without any
problems. I didn't even have to recompile the port. I do have the
/etc/libmap.conf entries for libthr though.

Hopefully this is a simple question. I looked through the doco for a
setting that I might be missing in my nagios.cfg. basically my issue is
that the system logs all passive checks and this setting is clear in the
nagios.cfg, however I only see the state changes logged for active
checks. I want all checks to be logged passive and active to the same
file. Is there a way to make this happen in the config file?

Thanks

I believe enabling the stalking option for the service will record  
all results to the nagios.log file.

I think what you want is called Stalking, it logs every check result 
whether or not it changed.

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

It's not usually necessary to do this though unless you have a specific 
reason to...

Thank you the reason we want to do so is we have a performance and
historical trending application that was written in house and we want to
be able to import the nagios perf data into the existing system. The guy
that designed the system has been pulling the data from the logs and
this works great cause most of what we track are checks that are
submitted through nsca however some of the checks were not getting
enough data to make a meaningful graph.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

I was able to create a true failover (hot-spare) setup using Linux-HA and
DRBD. The two machines use a primary/secondary DRBD drive setup for
/usr/local/nagios, /var/spool/mqueue, and /var/spool/clientmqueue. Linux-HA
manages the virtual IP for nagios as well as bringing nagios and sendmail
services up and down during a failover. This works very well, and because
the mail spools are sync'ed not even unsent notifications are lost.

I believe there are some previous threads about this setup, but if not I'd
be happy to write up a HOW-TO.

Subject: check_nt: Could not parse arguments
Message-ID: <002d01c86298$9cca3df0$98ad38a6@na.dsmain.com>

 

Morning all,

 

I am having an issue with adding cpuload monitoring on windows machines.

I know there are no issues on the windows side since I have other services
being monitored with no problems.

Also the error message tells me the arguments that are specified are not
correct.

I have google'd, and checked the Nagios documentation and tried different
ways, but non works.

And this is were I am at now. Could anyone look this over and tell me what
is wrong?

- Error: check_nt: Could not parse arguments

 

- Check command definition:

 

define command{

        command_name    check_nt_cpu

        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s
$USER7$

 

 

- Service definition:

 

define service{

       use                  generic-service

       host_name            host001

       service_description  CPU load

       servicegroups        load

       check_command        check_nt_cpu!CPULOAD! -l 5,80,90

       }


Thanks,

Palle

Message-ID: <F76F46ADD6410C4BBBB7F0A6E4A331A3928E87@PHSXMB26.partners.org>

Hi there -

 

I am monitoring a system that functions as a mail and ssh server. Along with the
check_ssh and check_smtp plugins, I am also monitoring the mailq, check_mailq,

the diskspace, check_disk, and also the processes, check_procs. The latter three
plugins are working fine, but the first two, check_ssh and check_smtp, are
getting

socket timeout errors. The Nagios server and NRPE client are running the 2.6
version. 

 

I ran the two plugins from the command line on both the Nagios server, via
check_nrpe, and on the client in question, using just the plugins. I included
the -p option 

to specify the port. Both instances resulted in timeouts occurring. The client
system is running iptables, and I had configured it to allow what I thought was
the appropriate

traffic to go and come from the system. Listed below is an excerpt that deals
with this issue:

 

### Accept connections from <ip address> # Make sure to include these entries in
the OUTPUT chain.

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p icmp -s <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -s <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 5666 -s <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -s <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 22 -s <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -s <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 25 -s <ip address> -j ACCEPT

 

...

 

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p icmp -d <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -d <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 5666 -d <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -d <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 22 -d <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -d <ip address> -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 25 -d <ip address> -j ACCEPT

 

Are there any additional ports that I need to provide exceptions for in order to
get the two plugins to work? Thanks.

Subject: Does alert re-escalate when text of alert changes?

Greetings,

We manage a bunch of servers using passive NSCA alerts, many of which
are custom alerts we wrote ourselves, that spool to a central Nagios
server.

One of these alerts concerns the status of the RAID array on the
servers.  When something disrupts the array and it needs to rebuild, the
alert goes into WARNING state, and the text that follows the WARNING
shows (among other things) the percentage done that the rebuild is.

It seems that every time that percentage increases and our passive alert
script spools a message with the new percentage in it (but the same
status, WARNING, as the old message), the central Nagios server treats
this as a new alert and follows the configured escalation path over
again.

I'm wondering (a) am I interpreting this correctly, i.e., am I correct
that this is why this alert keeps getting escalated over and over, and
(b) is there any way, short of removing the percentage from the alert
text so that the message is static, of preventing the repeated
escalation?

Thanks,

  Jonathan Kamens

I am the person who mailed to the mailing lists about the hung
process on FreeBSD systems in which the libmap.conf workaround
solved.

I was using Nagios 3.x series.  Other users have reported the same
hung up problems with 2.x too.

Were you asking a question?

I believe the answer to your first question is "no" and the answer to
the second one is "yes", but nobody will be able to root out your
problem without at least seeing some configs.

Perhaps nagiosexchange should have add onto their wiki howto section
by host type or something - that would be handy. Sample configs and
all that.

Thank you very much for responding.  I was composing a reply with the
configuration information you requested, and while doing so found the
root cause of the problem -- our escalation config generation script had
a bug in it.  So I apologize for wasting the list's time with a question
that was actually my fault, and I thank you for demanding to see the
configs because that forced me to go look and discover that they were
wrong :-/.

Does the system in ? have multiple NIC? Are you sure SSH and SMTP are
listening on the IP address which you have specified in your command.
Can you do a telnet test on these ports?
Can you disable iptables and test
telnet <ip address> 25
telnet <ip address> 22

Morning all,

 

I am having an issue with adding cpuload monitoring on windows machines.

I know there are no issues on the windows side since I have other
services being monitored with no problems.

Also the error message tells me the arguments that are specified are not
correct.

I have google'd, and checked the Nagios documentation and tried
different ways, but non works.

And this is were I am at now. Could anyone look this over and tell me
what is wrong?

- Error: check_nt: Could not parse arguments

 

- Check command definition:

 

define command{

        command_name    check_nt_cpu

        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s
$USER7$

 

 

- Service definition:

 

define service{

       use                  generic-service

       host_name            host001

       service_description  CPU load

       servicegroups        load

       check_command        check_nt_cpu!CPULOAD! -l 5,80,90

       }


Thanks,

No problem.  Happens to me all the time.  Sometimes I think I should
start writing e-mails to the list whenever I have even the smallest
problem, since, by way of including all relevant information, it
inevitably forces me into finding the solution before ever clicking
'send'. :)

Or on-list, I'm interested too, as I'm sure others are as well.
That's kinda' why they invented mail lists in the first place.

No lie, but I didn't want to deluge the list with petty, OS specific
things that might have already been covered and a Sun noob like me
might ask about in-depth. And if I found the right resource for info,
implemented it myself, then I could volunteer for the writing of that
HowTo...maybe, as time allows. :)

If I am not mistaken you should not have to add the host address and port#
both in the command & service definition.

 

But thanks anyways :-)

Morning all,

 

I am having an issue with adding cpuload monitoring on windows machines.

I know there are no issues on the windows side since I have other services
being monitored with no problems.

Also the error message tells me the arguments that are specified are not
correct.

I have google'd, and checked the Nagios documentation and tried different
ways, but non works.

And this is were I am at now. Could anyone look this over and tell me what
is wrong?

- Error: check_nt: Could not parse arguments

 

- Check command definition:

 

define command{

        command_name    check_nt_cpu

        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s
$USER7$

 

 

- Service definition:

 

define service{

       use                  generic-service

       host_name            host001

       service_description  CPU load

       servicegroups        load

       check_command        check_nt_cpu!CPULOAD! -l 5,80,90

       }

2. what specific checks are you using?

That's about it, I think

Message-ID: <479F957F.3090708@telcotec.se>

Hi All,

downloaded nagios-3.0rc2, installed and seems to work nicely.
However, in my Firefox browser, when looking at the nagios
web interface, I get a message saying that I should install
missing plugin for application/wav (both on Linux - Firefox
2.0.0.10 - and Windows XP - Firefox 2.0.0.11).

Where can I find such a plugin (and what's the story)?

i'd rather play with host_notification_options and
service_notification_options : make one contact
receive only warnings and the other critical alerts, and
but both of them in the same contact group

Servers in themselves are useless pieces of junk. What you care about
are the services they provide. So that is what you need to monitor. If
you think about it that way you can choose whatever method allows you to
monitor these services reliably.

I'd suggest that you do also need to monitor the servers themselves.  While
they may just be useless pieces of junk on their own, you do still need them
to run your services.  Strictly monitoring the services they provide will
give you a good up/down view of things but you probably want to know when
things are starting to go sideways so you can take corrective action before
you actually reach a down state.  I don't work with Sun hardware, but I'm
sure Sun provides some kind of framework for monitoring some of the physical
components of the system, and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts there are Nagios
plugins that can take advantage of that framework  Temperature, fans,
HD/RAID status, power supply status, etc. etc. are a very good thing to keep
an eye on if you intend to catch problems early enough to resolve before
actually causing downtime.

Andrew

        }
The host I'm testing with contains only the word: TEST in its notes field.

        hostgroups      intrust-office            ; Host groups this switch is associated with
        }   

This is the debug log output:

[1201644173.199143] [032.2] [pid=30977] Raw Command: /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nNotes: $HOSTNOTES$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

The problem is that the processed command gets truncated and a notification never gets sent. If I change the notify-host-by-email definition and replace $HOSTNOTES$ with another variable, $HOSTOUTPUT$ for instance, the debug log shows this:

[1201644289.198269] [032.2] [pid=30977] Raw Command: /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nNotes: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

The notification gets sent successfully.

I know I have the syntax correct because I have it working with other variables - it just wont work when I plug in the variable that I want: $HOSTNOTES$

I feel like I've found a bug but I really don't want to bother the developers if I've missed something obvious.

Has anyone else encountered this?

While Sun might have a way to monitor server health, I use
check_logfiles
(http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Misc.54.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp_view
%5D=538) to monitor the logs for errors more than anything.  I have
checks for power supplies, fans, SAN mounts, memory, cpu and SCSI
errors, etc. setup to monitor the server health.  I also use
check_disksuite (software RAID for Solaris,) and Check Veritas Volume
Manager for Veritas volumes.  

I use active server checks to monitor the services provided as well of
course, almost exclusively with check_by_ssh or check_http.

Subject: Error: Could not read object configuration data!
Message-ID: <68bff0801291508s17d82391m96b81321d6cda2c4@mail.gmail.com>

FAQ ID F0332 describes the problem I am having, but I do not understand the
meaning or how to check/verify the third item (3.)
Specifically I do not understand  (default text file or template-based
file)  Are these separate configure options?

I can start over and re-configure everything, but wanted to understand if I
am missing something before doing so.
I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3    2.4.21-9.EL, Nagios
2.10, Pluggins  1.4.11, and gd 2.0.36.
------------------------------------------------------------------
FAQ ID F0332
Title:Error: Could not read object configuration data!

Description:When clicking on any of the links on the left hand side you get:
Error: Could not read object configuration data! Here are some things you
should check in order to resolve this error:
1. Verify configuration options using the -v command-line option to check
for errors.
2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data
errors.
3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same
object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based file).

------------------------------------------------------------------

1. nagios -v looks good.     ( Total Warnings: 0 Total Errors:   0 )
2. log file shows   ( no errors )
[1201628088] Nagios 2.10 starting... (PID=2331)
[1201628088] LOG VERSION: 2.0
[1201628088] Finished daemonizing... (New PID=2332)

( daemon is running.)
nagios    2332     1  0 11:34 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
-d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

3.   ?

Everything seemed to install properly. The directories/files/permissions all
look good. I can successfully run the check_ping and check_http.     I do
recall seeing a warning in regards to gd.  I believe I read that it could be
ignored somewhere. I hope that is the case.     /usr/local/lib  and
/usr/local/include exist,  and have files in them.

(gd)
./configure

(nagios)
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin
--with-htmurl=/nagios/ --with-nagios
-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-command-group=nagcmd

It's a holdover from the Netsaint/Nagios-1 days. You're using
template-based.

Is SELinux enabled? That could be a problem if you haven't given proper
access to the nagios files from httpd.

PROFIT?!

I

What are the permissions on /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache,
status.dat and directories above. They should be such that your web
server can read them. Typically the files are 644 and 664 nagios:nagios
respectively, directories 755. Again, SELinux could be getting you here
if you have the normal file permissions set correctly. Also, does
objects.cache have content fairly closely matching your config (all
templates expanded)?

Hi,

To help clarify, -s is for the password while $ARG1$ was missing from the
orriginal command causing the missing ARGUMENT error
THe Hostname is needed since the plugin does not know what host it is
without that.
the port in this case is needed since check_nt.c compiles with the default
port of 1248
the -l is not needed since it is in the check command

define command{
        command_name    check_nt_cpu
$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s $USER7$  $ARG1$
}

define service{
       use                  generic-service
       host_name            host001
       service_description  CPU load
       servicegroups        load
       check_command        check_nt_cpu!CPULOAD!-l 5,80,90

That is a nice solution, with Nagios 3 you could also make one contact
group receive warnings via the service definition (or a service
escalation) and then use a serviceescalation for the contact [group]
that is to receive critical notifications.

I'd be interested in seeing how you set that up, please go ahead and write up a HOWTO.  Does the hot-spare alert if the master goes down?

we are considering to use Nagios to monitor our network devices and 
servers. There is one main question left, namely "Is it possible to 
generate the configurations automatically?". This would be essential for 
our system.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Regards,

Jan

Hello,

I have the same problem here. Based on the changelog :
 - Changed embedded audio MIME types in CGIs to "application/wav"

Nagios 3.0rc1:
# grep "object type" src/nagios-3.0rc1/cgi/status.c
printf("<object type=\"application/x-mplayer2\" data=\"%s%s\" height=\"-\"
width=\"0\">",url_media_path,sound);

Nagios 3.0rc2:
# grep "object type" src/nagios-3.0rc2/cgi/status.c
printf("<object type=\"application/wav\" data=\"%s%s\" height=\"-\"
width=\"0\">",url_media_path,sound);

I wonder why... It seems that it broke nagios alarm feature in CGIs, at least on
my computer (either IE 6.0x or Firefox 2.0x).

If you mean by auto-discovery, nagios has no facility to do that built  
in. There is an addon called nmap2nagios that may help you accomplish  
that. I challenge you, however, to think about why you believe this to  
be a good thing. IMHO, you'll likely be monitoring much more than you  
really care about at a level of detail that may not be sufficient  
sufficient.

If you mean by using a front-end to enter in host and service  
information and that program generates the nagios configuration files,  
yes, there are a few of them available but nothing created by the  
nagios author. Take a look at http://nagiosexchange.org. There's quite  
a bit of variability between them so YMMV. This comes up on the list  
pretty frequently so you should have to search hard to find commentary  
on them.

Subject: [ANN] WebReboot Nagios Plugin 1.1 Released
Message-ID: <C3C5EF39.CBFB%kmenard@servprise.com>

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that we've published the 1.1 release of our
open source integration plugins for Nagios.  Since a common question we
receive is what these plugins actually do or look like, I've put together a
little screencast available at:

http://www.servprise.com/products/nagios/


More info on the release and discount coupon codes:

http://dev.servprise.com/weblog/articles/2008/01/29/webreboot-nagios-plugin-
1-1-release

Key changes are:
- Improved installer
- Bug fix that lets the plugin work with older versions of Python
- Added the ability to log to a syslog server
- Plugins are more resilient to WebReboot network failures


Thanks again to all of you that used the 1.0 release and offered up bug
reports & feature requests.  This release features changes related to both.

Perhaps.  I'm certainly not a marketing guy.  If you'd like, you can pay
full price ;-)

Our marketing folks tend to be pretty selective about promotions.  I try to
push for one when we do plugin releases.  Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.
The Nagios community has been pretty good to us, though, so we try to offer
them something a little more.  I tend to push for coupons just because
they're simple to use *shrug*

You're still missing the point!
This mailing list is not for pushing anything,
whether it's from your marketing guys or yourself.

Fair enough.  It certainly wasn't my intention.  In fact, I put almost
anything that was commercially related off to a separate Web page so it
wouldn't be viewed as spam.

The intention was to let people know that the new version of the plugin,
which is not a commercial product, is available.  If I offended you or
anyone else, I do apologize.  I'll try to be more aware of it in the future.

Regardless of the appropriateness of the original message, this whole thread
has now gone way OT.  If anyone else has any problems or concerns, please
feel free to contact me off the list.

Regards,
Kevin

Lars, I think you have misunderstood Kevin.  I was first taken aback by
at the thought of needing a coupon to buy an addon to Nagios until I
went to their site.  The plugin is entirely free and a great
contribution in support of Nagios.  The hardware that enables the
product to work is what is sold.  I wouldn't expect them to be providing
the hardware for free ;)

Tank you, ServPrise - John

Fair enough, sounds reasonable. But I still would like
this list, and all the rest of the mailing lists I attend,
to stay clear of expressions like "discount coupon codes".
There's got to be other ways of advertising your products.

And please don't misunderstand me: I'm all for products
like WebReboot and others that takes the excellent nagios
software in to the corporate world. If done properly, that
can only be good for the product in question, and therefor
good for anyone using the product, be it in a non-profit or
commercial capacity (like myself:).

However, I still don't want to be lured into reading
"discount coupon codes" or anything similar on this
or any other open source software mailing list.

The advertising of open source (or any other) software
products already occupy most if not all other media
channels. Leave the mailing lists alone!

Cheers
/Lars

<OT>
I don't speak for anyone but myself, but I have no problem with his post
about the new plugin, nor the link to discount coupon codes.  :(

It's always nice to see companies giving discounts, and he clearly
wasn't making a blatant sales pitch to this mailing list....

If you can't tolerate that, feel free to bury your head in the sand, or
just script your MTA so that any "corporate" (ie: non-consumer ADSL)
domains go straight to /dev/null to save yourself *shrug*
</OT>

With Kind Regards,
Alex

Hi Jan,

There are a few interesting tools on there to automate configuration.
It's not something supported "out of the box" though; I think (speaking
from experience) most deployments use some kind of custom script
grabbing information out of LDAP to generate the configuration?

Alternatively you could do selective scans (with nmap) over certain
ranges to 'find' your Infrastructure, and build with templates?

One of the more interesting tools for doing all this is NACE.

Sorry to be a bit vague. Hope that helps some.

Alex

Subject: NRPE on Windows guest error
Message-ID: <20080130154948.A273C580051@desire.netways.de>

Hi list

I have a Debian Etch Nagios server with all the appropriate plugins.

I can monitor without any problems Linux boxes but I get an "UNKNOWN: No handler for that command" when I try to monitor a Windows 2003 box running the 

Here is nrpe.cfg file on my W2K3 host :

server_port=5666
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,ip_address_of_nagios_server
dont_blame_nrpe=1
debug=0
command_timeout=30
command[nt_cpuload]=C:\Program Files\NRPE\bin\cpuload_nrpe_nt.exe 90 95

Here is the host.cfg file on my Nagios server :

define service{
        use                     template-services
        hostgroup_name          Windows Servers
        service_description     CPU Load
        check_command           check_nt_nrpe!nt_cpuload
        }

Moreover the command check_nrpe -H erebe2-test -c nt_cpuload run as nagios user returns the expected output on my nagios server.

Any idea ?

Many thanks,

- PO Michel (misterpo)

Do you have the check_nt_nrpe command defined in your commands.cfg? I 
think you might need check_nrpe_1arg command instead of check_nt_nrpe.

Sander

Hi Sander,

I am back to this Nagios evaluation project so my config is :				
commands.cfg on the Nagios server :

define command{
    command_name nt_cpuload
    command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c nt_cpuload
}

hostgroups.cfg on the Nagios server :

define service{
        use                     template-services
        hostgroup_name          Windows Servers
        service_description     CPU Load
        check_command           nt_cpuload
        }

nrpe.fg on the remote host :

command[nt_cpuload]=C:\Program Files\NRPE\bin\cpuload_nrpe_nt.exe 90 95

I still get this "UNKNOWN: No handler for that command" error even if the cpuload_nrpe_nt.exe is avilable on the remote host.

Did you experience a problem of that kind ?

Hi 				

Hello all.

I know a little bit about Nagios as I am evaluating for now 2 monthes (with breaks indeed).

I understand the concept of server (master) and client (slave) and I have strictly followed the NRPE_NT plugin HOWTO. NRPE work between the server and Linux clients.

Once again, everything work if I run the commands by hand. I run into problems once I try to access the information via Nagios.

Every test is a real pain but I like this tool very much and I would like to get further into it.

So if I am totally wrong with my current configuration, don't hesitate to point it out ;-)

Thanks in advance,

- PO Michel (misterpo)

I'm seeing the same thing on Solaris 10 Sparc with ZFS zpools. I
compiled the plugins with gcc and I may try to re-compile the plugins
with Sun Studio, but I don't think it will solve the issue...

I would post a bug on at least and your diff if you get it working.

Subject: [Nagios-users] plugin check_disk fails on Solaris 10 on 16
Terabyte volume (with research into issue)

Hello,

    This is my first post to this list.  I was unable to find any 
previous mention of an issue like this, nor was I able to find a better 
place to submit this (bug report?) to.  I'm not a Solaris expert (I am 
pretty good with Linux and BSD though - including writing low-level 
system code).  It is entirely possible that I'm off my rocker and that I

somehow and at fault.. but I doubt it :)

    The server in question is a Sun x4600 ("thumper").  It is a 64 bit 
AMD server running Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) [1].  The system has a few 
small volumes and one HUGE 16TiB volume (in a zpool).  This ZFS volume 
is exported as several volumes over NFS.

    Nagios was installed following the instructions on terdmonk's web 
site [2].  Nagios itself runs on a remote Gentoo Linux box.  I use nrpe 
on the Solaris box to execute the plugins.  I have ruled out nrpe as the

source of the problem.  I think that the problem is in the plugin's 
(check_disk) call to "statvfs".

    First, the interesting output of "df" (full output at [3]):

(thumper: 14:35:10 </>) 0 # df -h | egrep "^(\/dev\/.*|swap|zpool1) "
/dev/md/dsk/d10         11G   5.6G   4.8G    54%    /
swap                   2.2G   752K   2.2G     1%    /etc/svc/volatile
/dev/md/dsk/d30        5.8G   1.1G   4.7G    19%    /var
swap                   2.2G    32K   2.2G     1%    /var/run
zpool1                  17T    57G    16T     1%    /zpool1

   Now the output of "/opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_disk):

(thumper: 14:06:26 </>) 0 # /opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_disk

   And the tail-end of the system traces of "check_disk":

 From the man page on "statvfs" on Solaris 10:

ERRORS
     The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions will fail if:

     EOVERFLOW               One of the  values  to  be  returned
                             cannot  be  represented correctly in
                             the structure pointed to by buf.


yuck.  But, at the bottom of the man page:

USAGE
     The statvfs() and  fstatvfs()  functions  have  transitional
     interfaces for 64-bit file offsets.  See lf64(5).


Inside the man page of "lf64":
  <sys/statvfs.h>
     struct statvfs                struct statvfs64
        fsblkcnt_t f_blocks;          fsblkcnt64_t f_blocks;
        fsblkcnt_t f_bfree;           fsblkcnt64_t f_bfree;
        fsblkcnt_t f_bavial;          fsblkcnt64_t f_bavial;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_files;          fsfilcnt64_t  f_files;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_ffree;          fsfilcnt64_t  f_ffree;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_favail;         fsfilcnt64_t  f_favail;


So, it looks like there is a solution.  The actual code is in 
"nagios-plugins-VERSION/gl/fsusage.c".

But what I don't know how to do is suggest the solution to the 
appropriate party(ies).  Hence this post.

If I did make a code change, who would I send it to?

Opsview list appears to be kind of slow, so I'll ask here for those
using it: After using the conversion tool supplied with Opsview to
convert Nagios 2.0 configs, is there any "easy" way to put the other
information - hostextinfo mostly (parenting!!) - in correctly?

The tool is alpha and doesn't work all that well yet. It converted all
of the contacts in such a way that they're all contacts for all
devices...and a couple of other things.

Yes, of course you're right, I can see the light now.
Looking forward to more sales pitches ad's and whatnot.
And why not indeed, I'm a relic. I know I shouldn't
complain, my bad. Hey, on the contrary, thanks for
the discount coupon!

Subject: Cluster based escalations
Message-ID: <47A0D75C.7010708@splitstreams.com>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm wondering if there is a way to do threshold based escalations for a
cluster of hosts/services.

For example, say that you are running a large operation with a cluster
of 10 mail servers. Now, we'll say that there is a buffer in place such
that you don't have a high priority problem unless 3 of the 10 mail
servers go down, or for that matter 3 of the 10 mail servers have an
unresponsive service check of SMTP. Now, is there a way to define an
escalation such that it is only triggered when 3 of 10 machines in a
group go down, or 3 of 10 SMTP services in a group stop responding?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

I'm seeing the same thing on Solaris 10 Sparc with ZFS zpools. I
compiled the plugins with gcc and I may try to re-compile the plugins
with Sun Studio, but I don't think it will solve the issue...

I would post a bug on at least and your diff if you get it working.

Subject: [Nagios-users] plugin check_disk fails on Solaris 10 on 16
Terabyte volume (with research into issue)

Hello,

    This is my first post to this list.  I was unable to find any 
previous mention of an issue like this, nor was I able to find a better 
place to submit this (bug report?) to.  I'm not a Solaris expert (I am 
pretty good with Linux and BSD though - including writing low-level 
system code).  It is entirely possible that I'm off my rocker and that I

somehow and at fault.. but I doubt it :)

    The server in question is a Sun x4600 ("thumper").  It is a 64 bit 
AMD server running Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) [1].  The system has a few 
small volumes and one HUGE 16TiB volume (in a zpool).  This ZFS volume 
is exported as several volumes over NFS.

    Nagios was installed following the instructions on terdmonk's web 
site [2].  Nagios itself runs on a remote Gentoo Linux box.  I use nrpe 
on the Solaris box to execute the plugins.  I have ruled out nrpe as the

source of the problem.  I think that the problem is in the plugin's 
(check_disk) call to "statvfs".

    First, the interesting output of "df" (full output at [3]):

(thumper: 14:35:10 </>) 0 # df -h | egrep "^(\/dev\/.*|swap|zpool1) "
/dev/md/dsk/d10         11G   5.6G   4.8G    54%    /
swap                   2.2G   752K   2.2G     1%    /etc/svc/volatile
/dev/md/dsk/d30        5.8G   1.1G   4.7G    19%    /var
swap                   2.2G    32K   2.2G     1%    /var/run
zpool1                  17T    57G    16T     1%    /zpool1

   Now the output of "/opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_disk):

(thumper: 14:06:26 </>) 0 # /opt/csw/libexec/nagios-plugins/check_disk

-w 20% -c 10% -p /zpool1/
DISK UNKNOWN - free space:|

   And the tail-end of the system traces of "check_disk":

 From the man page on "statvfs" on Solaris 10:

ERRORS
     The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions will fail if:

     EOVERFLOW               One of the  values  to  be  returned
                             cannot  be  represented correctly in
                             the structure pointed to by buf.


yuck.  But, at the bottom of the man page:

USAGE
     The statvfs() and  fstatvfs()  functions  have  transitional
     interfaces for 64-bit file offsets.  See lf64(5).


Inside the man page of "lf64":
  <sys/statvfs.h>
     struct statvfs                struct statvfs64
        fsblkcnt_t f_blocks;          fsblkcnt64_t f_blocks;
        fsblkcnt_t f_bfree;           fsblkcnt64_t f_bfree;
        fsblkcnt_t f_bavial;          fsblkcnt64_t f_bavial;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_files;          fsfilcnt64_t  f_files;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_ffree;          fsfilcnt64_t  f_ffree;
        fsfilcnt_t  f_favail;         fsfilcnt64_t  f_favail;


So, it looks like there is a solution.  The actual code is in 
"nagios-plugins-VERSION/gl/fsusage.c".

But what I don't know how to do is suggest the solution to the 
appropriate party(ies).  Hence this post.

If I did make a code change, who would I send it to?

Thanks for the help,

> the -l is not needed since it is in the check command

I also tried with and without the -l

 

Unfortunately did this not work either, any other suggestions?

 

 

Thanks,

Hi, 

 

To help clarify, -s is for the password while $ARG1$ was missing from the
orriginal command causing the missing ARGUMENT error

THe Hostname is needed since the plugin does not know what host it is
without that.

the port in this case is needed since check_nt.c compiles with the default
port of 1248

the -l is not needed since it is in the check command

 

define command{
        command_name    check_nt_cpu
$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s $USER7$  $ARG1$
}

 

define service{
       use                  generic-service
       host_name            host001
       service_description  CPU load
       servicegroups        load

Morning all,

 

I am having an issue with adding cpuload monitoring on windows machines.

I know there are no issues on the windows side since I have other services
being monitored with no problems.

Also the error message tells me the arguments that are specified are not
correct.

I have google'd, and checked the Nagios documentation and tried different
ways, but non works.

And this is were I am at now. Could anyone look this over and tell me what
is wrong?

- Error: check_nt: Could not parse arguments

 

- Check command definition:

 

define command{

        command_name    check_nt_cpu

        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s
$USER7$

 

 

- Service definition:

 

define service{

       use                  generic-service

       host_name            host001

       service_description  CPU load

       servicegroups        load

       check_command        check_nt_cpu!CPULOAD! -l 5,80,90

       }


Thanks,

Palle

What's your version of nsclient installed in the windows side ?   How's
your NSC.ini configured if you're using nsclient++?

Subject: Nagios crashed?
Message-ID: <200801302126.34708.michaelkintzios@gmail.com>

Hi All,

For about a week Nagios had gone quiet and although I should have tweaked that 
something suspicious had happened, I had no previous reasons for concern.  
Until I was alerted by a user that they were getting no alerts when they knew 
that their network device had gone offline.

I quickly checked and indeed the nagios service status was shown as stopped!  
Nagios is installed on CentOS and looking at the logs I saw just this:
============================================
[1200807131] SERVICE ALERT: 
router1.XXXXXXXXX.com;Camera;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITICAL: - failed: A temporary 
error occurred on an authoritative name server. Try again later.

Out)
[1201469001] Nagios 3.0a3 starting... (PID=20058
============================================

The last line is when I restarted the Nagios service.  I can't see anything 
else in the system logs.

Any ideas as to what might have happened?  IS the message about the DNS server 
something that could have caused Nagios to implode (I don't think so, but 
just asking for your experience here).

BTW, the server receives the usual unwanted attention from script-kiddies 
trying to crack their way in.  Fail2ban tries its best to keep them out.  
Could it be that the server has been compromised?  A Nagios vulnerability?  
What else could I look at, or test?

We are running NSClient++ 0.2.7 2007-03-06 on the windows servers and Nagios
2.9 on Fedora 6.

Right now we are monitoring 56 servers and 196 services, we monitor
processes, memory, disk space, and windows services. However I cannot get
the Cpu load to work.

 

Thanks,

Palle

What's your version of nsclient installed in the windows side ?   How's your
NSC.ini configured if you're using nsclient++?

I also tried with and without the -l

 

Unfortunately did this not work either, any other suggestions?

Hi, 



 



To help clarify, -s is for the password while $ARG1$ was missing from the
orriginal command causing the missing ARGUMENT error



THe Hostname is needed since the plugin does not know what host it is
without that.



the port in this case is needed since check_nt.c compiles with the default
port of 1248



the -l is not needed since it is in the check command



 



define command{
        command_name    check_nt_cpu
$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s $USER7$  $ARG1$
}



 



define service{
       use                  generic-service
       host_name            host001
       service_description  CPU load
       servicegroups        load
       check_command        check_nt_cpu!CPULOAD!-l 5,80,90

Morning all,

 

I am having an issue with adding cpuload monitoring on windows machines.

I know there are no issues on the windows side since I have other services
being monitored with no problems.

Also the error message tells me the arguments that are specified are not
correct.

I have google'd, and checked the Nagios documentation and tried different
ways, but non works.

And this is were I am at now. Could anyone look this over and tell me what
is wrong?

- Error: check_nt: Could not parse arguments

 

- Check command definition:

 

define command{

        command_name    check_nt_cpu

        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s
$USER7$

 

 

- Service definition:

 

define service{

       use                  generic-service

       host_name            host001

       service_description  CPU load

       servicegroups        load

       check_command        check_nt_cpu!CPULOAD! -l 5,80,90

       }

Subject: Editing downtime.dat with an external program
Message-ID: <47A0F7D6.40705@fsu.edu>

Using - Nagios 2.10
RHEL 5

Hi everyone,
   I'm in the process of creating an external webpage in PHP that allows 
our team to set bulk downtimes after, say, a round of MS patches.

I am at the point where my PHP page outputs the following for each host 
chosen with the idea that it'll be appended to downtime.dat:

hostdowntime {
       host_name=nagios.fsu.edu
       downtime_id=11
       entry_time=1201704159
       start_time=1201704115
       end_time=1201711315
       triggered_by=0
       fixed=1
       duration=7200
       author=Edson Manners
       comment=Blahh
       }


This is in the format of the downtime.dat file. However the top of the 
downtime.dat file warns that it should not be modified but by nagios 
itself. Is there some API supported way to add downtime to nagios using 
external programs or is this the way to do it?
Thanks

Subject: Monitoring CPU usage on SMP linux machines
Message-ID: <47A0F83F.7090606@fsu.edu>

Hi,
       I haven't been able to find a solution to this through google or 
the ngaios . I had previously made
a custom script to get CPU data from snmpd using OID 
1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.9 for Linux and OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2
for windows. However the Linux machines snmpd implementation don't seem 
to take SMP CPUs into account and
I am getting back bogus data.

My question is how are others monitoring CPU usage on SMP Linux servers 
using nagios?
Thanks

External Commands:

I have written a PHP script that will use external commands to schedule
downtime from the command line:

Thanks Hugo, it was on the cards to upgrade it soon.  Are you saying that this 
version has a tendency to crash and I shouldn't worry about it?

Can anybody point me to a "decent" howto or some example on how to setup
and use check_apc_ups.pl plugin for APC UPSs?

Or options to monitor APCs and Triplite UPSs if you have found any
that's worth checking.

Any help is appreciated.

Ennis,

We use the check_snmp plugin with the OID's for battery capacity, load
and uptime. The following is an example:

define service{
        use                             	generic-service
        host_name                       	Ups
        service_description             UPS Battery Load
        check_command 		check_snmp!-C public -o
.1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.2.3.0 -w 60 -c 90 -l 'Output Load' -u '%'

Subject: checking by MAC address instead of IP address
Message-ID: <A56FF2D1A1171846ABEBA963F83825577B0765@itdm-exch.itdm.local>

I've read in some of the documentation that services can be checked by
MAC address (as well as  AIM and street address?).

 

I have tried setting this up as

 

define host{

        use             windows-server

        host_name       <host name>

        _mac_address    <ma:c :ad:dr:es:s >

        }

 

 

 

But I get a invalid hostname/address error

 

Am I defining the host incorrect, or ??

 

Thanks

 

Mike

My script queries "ssCpuRawKernel.0", "ssCpuRawIdle.0", and
"ssCpuRawUser.0" as provided by net-snmp and does some simple division
using values written to a 'state' file on the last run to figure out the
overall CPU % Used, regardless of the number of CPUs.  I don't believe
I've posted this one on nagiosexchange, but I'd be glad to send it to
you if you care to take a look.

Well, this is just the checks that we use:

define service {
  use                   generic-service
  host_name             @NAME@
  service_description   apcups_online
  servicegroups         hardware
  check_command         check_apc!status!0!0!0!0
}

define service {
  use                   generic-service
  host_name             @NAME@
  service_description   apcups_temp
  servicegroups         hardware
  check_command         check_apc!temp!35!40!10!5
}

define service {
  use                   generic-service
  host_name             @NAME@
  service_description   apcups_ld
  servicegroups         hardware
  check_command         check_apc!load!80!90!0!0
}

define service {
  use                   generic-service
  host_name             @NAME@
  service_description   apcups_bcharge
  servicegroups         hardware
  check_command         check_apc!bcharge!20!10!0!0
}

define service {
  use                   generic-service
  host_name             @NAME@
  service_description   apcups_time
  servicegroups         hardware
  check_command         check_apc!time!8!5!0!0
}

define service {
  use                   generic-service
  host_name             @NAME@
  service_description   apcups_linev
  servicegroups         hardware
  check_command         check_apc!linev!235!240!225!220
}

define service {
  use                   generic-service
  host_name             @NAME@
  service_description   apcups_linefreq
  servicegroups         hardware
  check_command         check_apc!linefreq!51!52!49!48
}

And here's the command definition:

define command {
  command_name check_apc
  command_line $USER1$/extras/check_apc $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$
}


Hope you find it useful, I know we do:)

Subject: 3.0 macro documentation inconsistency
Message-ID: <BAAFCEE1561C8547961FE7C66E7E957B02D824@dw-sf-exch1.dataway.net>


In the 3.0 documentation section describing Host and Service Macros:

There's some macros <macroname>, and there's some <last+macroname>:
Example:
$SERVICESTATE$          A string indicating the CURRENT state of the
service...
$LASTSERVICESTATE$      A string indicating the LAST state of the
service...



However, these macro descriptions have the text "LAST", which would
imply <last+macroname>:
$HOSTOUTPUT$ 	      The first line of text output from the LAST host
check...
$LONGHOSTOUTPUT$ 	      The full text output (aside from the first
line) from the LAST host check....
$HOSTPERFDATA$          This macro contains any performance data that
may have been returned by the LAST host check.
$SERVICEOUTPUT$         The first line of text output from the LAST
service check...
$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$     The full text output (aside from the first line)
from the LAST service check...
$SERVICEPERFDATA$       This macro contains any performance data that
may have been returned by the LAST service check.


To be consistent, I think the documentation for these macros should
read:
$HOSTOUTPUT$            The first line of text output from the CURRENT
host check...
$LONGHOSTOUTPUT$        The full text output (aside from the first line)
from the CURRENT host check...
$HOSTPERFDATA$          This macro contains any performance data that
may have been returned by the CURRENT host check.
$SERVICEOUTPUT$         The first line of text output from the CURRENT
service check...
$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$     The full text output (aside from the first line)
from the CURRENT service check...
$SERVICEPERFDATA$       This macro contains any performance data that
may have been returned by the CURRENT service check.


It would definately be nice if $LASTSERVICEOUTPUT$ did exist as a macro
though!
LAST OUTPUT is useful for calculating deltas, currently this is only
possible by recording such information externally.


(sorry for double posting, I'm not subscribed to nagios-devel so I'm not
sure if this messsage will reach that list)

How about just adding a more intelligent service check like
check_cluster? Escalations are handled on a single host or service
basis. Apply special notifications or escalations to the check_cluster
test.

Subject: Nagios starts to eat CPU
Message-ID: <47A1022B.9080607@fechner.net>

Hi,

I have here Freebsd:
FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #0: Sun Jan 27 15:31:47 CET 2008

with the following version installed:
nagios-2.10
nagios-plugins-1.4.11,1
nagios-spamd-plugin-1.4

I start nagios and everything is fine.
After some time it starts the eat 100% cpu.
I cannot find anything in the logfiles of have a clue why nagios did 
that. Never had the problems in the past.
Maybe it starts with an update to the new FreeBSD RELANG6 tree but I'm 
not really sure.

I reinstalled nagios but that didn't help.

How can I further analysis this to find the reason for this?

Best regards,
Matthias

a3 == Alpha 3 == not ready for production use. Bugs/crashes to be
expected. Even the more recent RC releases are meant for bug hunting.
They're more stable but if you have crash-aversion, you should still be
using 2.x.

That being said, if you're still up for it, try the latest release and
report any problems that you experience with as much detail as possible
on how to reproduce them.

Sorry, my bad, forgot about the most cruical part of it all:)

We originaly got our check_apc from nagiosexchange.org:
<http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Misc.54.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=615>

We had to make some changes to it though,
so I've attached a copy of ours.

Good Luck

Please reference specifically so we can all be on the same page (no pun
intended). I think I know the page you're talking about but it's not in
reference to using those as replacements for host addresses.

This might almost be a valid definition for nagios-3 but you still need
to specify a host address parameter (arbitrary or not, it's required)
and the other required parameters. As to whether you can use a MAC, AIM
or street address as the address for a plugin for its check, the answer
is Yes, as long as the plugin understands what to do with that
information. I'm not aware of any plugins that actually use the examples
above but they may exist.

Maybe you need something like the following:

Service Definition:

define service{
       use                  generic-service
       host_name            host001
       service_description  CPU load
       servicegroups        load
       check_command        check_nt_cpu!5,80,90
       }

Command Definition:

define command{
        command_name    check_nt_cpu 
	  command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s
%USER7% -v CPULOAD -l %ARG1%
	  }

thx a lot for that tip.
I created the file /etc/libmap.conf and added:
[nagios]
libpthread.so.2         libthr.so.2
libpthread.so           libthr.so

Restarted nagios and everything seems to be fine.
When will nagios be fixed for the new libs?

Best ragards,
Matthias

First of all thank you all for your responses.

Just to make sure if I understand correctly: It is possible to generate 
configuration files from entries in a database. It is not necessary that 
there is already a plugin for this purpose. I think our programmers 
would be able to develop something for our needs.
I am asking these stupid questions, because someone who is already using 
Nagios, told us that it is not possible to add hosts and services in a 
automatic way in general.

Cheers

Jan

Well, have you defined the check-command "check_clamd" anywhere?
It seems to me as though you're lacking rudimentary knowledge about
Nagios' config file syntax, so reading the friendly manual would
probably be a good thing to start with.

Certainly. It's just taking the information in the database and  
creating formatted text files with it. Using static templates makes  
thing even easier. Nagios doesn't care if the files it reads were  
created by a person or a script as long as they're formatted properly.  
Script the creation of host and service config files from the DB  
information, reload nagios and away you go. It's been working  
successfully here, every hour, every day for about 7 years. If you  
don't want to code it yourself there are front-ends that other have  
created at http://nagiosexchange.org. perhaps one of those will meet  
your needs.

There are many ways to define automatic. I'd say that all of them are  
possible to some degree but can be very complex and all require  
external coding.

well, I have to admit I've *never* used any kind of escalations
with Nagios :) At my previous work, there was always only
one person on duty and the backup engineer was managed
manually. Nevertheless, it's quite a nice trick, I really love Nagios3
and its almost-true inheritance, it made my config shrink by about
50% (and adding nodes to monitor is much easier than before, with
automatic servicegroups, icons, etc.)

Agreed, I have been doing a lot of refactoring as well and have seen a
very nice shrink in configuration file sizes and ease of adding new
hosts :) too.

imho rc1 is already quite stable... ndoutils seem to "fragilize" (don't know
whether it's the good english word :) my nagios : it suddenly stops logging
to mysql but still works (checks and alerts)

Hi,

I'd very much like to take a look at both of your scripts if possible.
Has anyone considered adding the OID's for ssCpuRawNice and
ssCpuRawWait into the mix?

Thanks,

50 MiB is not an unmanageable size :-)
this morning, ndo2db was inserting and updating data, as strace
and mysql detailled logging told me, but nagvis was not happy and
was telling me that nagios data was not up to date
after a ndo2db restart, everything was fine again

I use two small installations of it, one with just 12 nodes, the other
with 100 nodes/550 checks, both have been very good so far.

If you look at some past posts to this list, you will see others who
have posted about this :), I had the same problem .. for me I had not
realized it used InnoDB for tables and I had not done any tuning of my
InnoDB configuration .. once I did that and reinitialized the database
all was good and has been since then.

Hello list,
    I am trying to query the nagios database entries generated by ndo2db 
(Nagios 3.0rc1/ndoutils 1.47b) to pull out only those entries in the 
servicestatus table that are in current_state != 0 and whose 
contactgroup is testing. I have a contact group testing and that contact 
group is set up in the service template for (at the moment) all 
services. I can see the contact group in the SQL contactgroups table and 
I can see the members of the contactgroup in the SQL 
contactgroup_members table but there are no entries in the 
service_contacts table. Is this a config error on my part?

I have:

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       testing
        alias                   Test Group
        members                 testcontact
}

define contact{
        contact_name                    testcontact
        use                             generic-contact
        service_notifications_enabled   1
        alias                           just a test contact
        email                           null at localhost
}

define service{
        name                         infrequent-check-service
        use                          generic-service
        contact_groups               testing
        register                     0
}

define service{
        use                             infrequent-check-service
        host_name                       server1
        service_description             Load Average
        check_command                   check_load
}


the testcontact is notified when the load on server1 exceeds the warn / 
critical limits but I have no way of associating the contact with the 
service just through querying the database....

 Any ideas?

Tim

Is Opsview in another time zone? :) Responses seem to come in during
the evening.

Quick question I asked there that someone here might have an answer
for: Where, during the install process, is it best to use their tool
to convert your config files - and after their app converts them, do
you need to manually move them somewhere before running (if this is
the proper sequence) gen_config?

Thanks in advance, and I apologize for the semi-OT subject if it
annoys anyone...

Hi,

let me come back to a very old issue regarding log rotation of Nagios.

Debian users' confusion. Nagios folks will probably compile their own
Nagios anyway.

Nagios' log files are kind of unique in a way. Usually, log files are
written to and then never touched again. So, basically, the local
admin is free to do like he sees fit with them once they were written.

Slowly realizing that Nagios' "log" files are - of course - processed
by the CGIs for the history functions, I begin to question myself
whether /var/log is the right place for the log files and that they
should probably really be in /var/lib as they are "variable state
information".

I agree that the defaults for removing the files should be quite high,
but since disk space is finite there should be an easy option to
remove old files automatically after configuration.

Given the special role of Nagios log files, agreed.

Greetings
Marc
