Hi,
I have been using NagiosQL and I must say it's great. I am going to try
Centreon (not sure if it has modules for editing Nagios files though).
There is also Lilac (formerly fruity) which comes with an autodiscovery
engine (actually running Nmap).There is EZNag (lots of stuff to make
Nagios easy to manage already bundled together) and Opscfg or so.
But until I actually see something better, it's NagiosQL for me - here
is thanks to the development team and the support community.

Regards.

Googling around there are a few out there, mostly ng1, ng2, and I am 
wondering if there is something nice and clean out there for nagios 3.

I don't mind the cli, but sometimes a point/click is just so much
easier.

New to the list, so if it's been discussed, I apologize.

Mark 

First - welcome the a world of wonder  (meaning nagios) .
Second - the nagios install comes with a complete set of documentation you can access via the wen 
interface .
And for your question - the file containing the definitions you are looking for is called either 
commands.cfg or misccommnd.cfg , it resides in the etc directory of the nagios installation .
most likely you'll find a command called check_http with no parameters , that is because it is going 
to the default ports , RTFM and made the modifications .

Good luck  .

Note that most plugins can be executed from the shell prompt with a
"--help" option.  For example:

  $ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http --help

will tell you what all the possible options are for this plugin,
including how to check a particular port number.  It's usually best to
make sure you're happy that the plugin is working by executing it
yourself from the shell prompt before configuring it in the nagios
config files.

Hi!
I found a lot of usefull hints how to monitor my AD-server. I'll check  
that step by step.

BUT:
Is there a possibility to check if a special client (running Win XP or  
Windows 2003 Terminal-Server) can log into a special AD?

If I try "View Alert History for this Service" I seem to get an error
"No history information was found for this this service in the current
log file"

The file that it reports "File: /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log" is
indeed correctly present. What else could be wrong? Does "Alert
History" have to be explicitly enabled in some way?

This is a simple "ping" service so it does have performance data.

You could use NSClient++ with the event log plugin.  I'm not sure what
you need exactly from the eventlog but it'll alert you when something
happens.

No.

Alert history isn't performance data. An 'alert' is logged when the  
service changes state (i.e. OK->CRITICAL for example). Your service  
has not changed state in the current log file.

Nagios does not log performance data to nagios.log.

The history will normally only record anything if the ping check has
changed state (for example from OK to Warning).  If there's nothing in
the log for a particular day, it simply means it''s been pinging fine
all day (or if it's been critical all day long).

Nagios itself doesn't do anything with the performance data, but can
be configured to pass it on to flat files, a database or to a graph
for example PNP or nagiosgrapher.  I use (and recommend) PNP as it's
easy to install and use and seems to get better & better with every
new release.  http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/start

I looked that the event log but does no good for me as I am trying to monitor application logs and not events logs. looking for something similar to check_logfiles on Unix.
Thanks

You could use NSClient++ with the event log plugin.  I'm not sure what
you need exactly from the eventlog but it'll alert you when something
happens.

Can anybody recommend an MSI editor, I would like to add the IP address of
the server before I send the client MSI out, if I have to purchase one I do
not mind.

You don't have to purchase one. If you want to do the editing manually, 
use Microsoft's Orca. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255905

Or if you want to automate it, look into MakeMSI. 
http://dennisbareis.com/makemsi.htm This scripting language is a bit 
quirky, but it works.

That said, I'm currently working on a complete Nagios client including 
install package that may do just about the same thing (and a few more 
things). You can already download it from Sourceforge, although the 
"burn the server IP address into the MSI" functionality isn't 
implemented yet. One thing I did differently from NSClient is that I am 
using HTTPS to submit the results (an older version also supported SSH, 
but I have not re-implemented that in the latest version). That lets me 
avoid firewall issues.

It is based on NSClient++ with quite a few enhancements.

Hi Philipp,

CAN Login is a Bit dificult,

For that it may be  better to check Effective Permissions on a particular
Resource for a particular User or group.

For HAS logged in, then try Enabling Auditing to The Windows Security Log
Then Use an EventLog Check, (there are several Window clients that do this
including NC_NEt)

HI,
This is something I been wanting to add to NC_NEt for a while, but have not
had the time to implement.

I have not yet heard of one availible specifically for nagios on a Windows
Host.

Assuming the Log Files are just TEXT

your best bet is to write a program that parses through text logs using
regular expessions.
This can be done through VB Scripts.
The tricky thing with VBS, or Dot Net is it handles RegExp slightly
differently than compared to UNIX but there are a series of Settings one
could use to get desired results from the Regexp.

THe other tricky thing with  Windows is making sure you file opening for
Read Only , since opening them with RW access may cause their corrosponding
apps to fail getting the file handles to its own log file.

The last thing to consider is the order of the file,
If the Log file always appends to the end then try to itterate through the
file from the end moving twords the begining untill you hit your stopping
point,

This way you can exit the loop early.

Hi Martyn,

The client itself actually is quite stable; I have it running on several 
of my customer's servers for a few months now - maybe two years if you 
count the old versions. It is a fairly small piece of software written 
in C++ (the original version was written in VBS) and have yet to see it 
crash or cause any problems. The main value of the client - aside from 
my own innovation of using HTTPS to submit the passive check results - 
is that it packages quite a few third-party plugins, including 
NSClient++, and their configurations into a single installer package.

What isn't stable about it is the exact specification, behavior and 
which plugins get packaged and how they are configured; I expect that 
there will be ongoing changes. The interface between the TNTMonitoring 
client and Nagios should be fairly stable - it is simply the standard 
NSCA protocol, but running over HTTPS PUT requests.

On the receiving end, a simple PHP script accepts the results and puts 
it to the Nagios command file. The source code for TNTMonitoring 
contains an older version of that script; I should really be updating that.

Also the documentation is really somewhat insufficient.

The current installer will ask a number of questions before installing 
everything. One of the improvements I'm working on is to come up with a 
"quiet" version that simply installs without asking any questions - 
basically, what you've been asking for.

Hi Martyn,

The client itself actually is quite stable; I have it running on several 
of my customer's servers for a few months now - maybe two years if you 
count the old versions. It is a fairly small piece of software written 
in C++ (the original version was written in VBS) and have yet to see it 
crash or cause any problems. The main value of the client - aside from 
my own innovation of using HTTPS to submit the passive check results - 
is that it packages quite a few third-party plugins, including 
NSClient++, and their configurations into a single installer package.

What isn't stable about it is the exact specification, behavior and 
which plugins get packaged and how they are configured; I expect that 
there will be ongoing changes. The interface between the TNTMonitoring 
client and Nagios should be fairly stable - it is simply the standard 
NSCA protocol, but running over HTTPS PUT requests.

On the receiving end, a simple PHP script accepts the results and puts 
it to the Nagios command file. The source code for TNTMonitoring 
contains an older version of that script; I should really be updating that.

Also the documentation is really somewhat insufficient.

The current installer will ask a number of questions before installing 
everything. One of the improvements I'm working on is to come up with a 
"quiet" version that simply installs without asking any questions - 
basically, what you've been asking for.

Hello,

I would suggest someone to "port" check_logfiles to "windows" (ie 
working with for instance pure Perl or some such).
That is the "point" of the NRPE support in NSClient++ (and others)

since you define a command to wait a argument , you need to supply that in the command call in the 
check execution - meaning in the declaration of the service .
so your service definition should be something like this :

define service{
        use                             local-service         ; Name of service template to use
         host_name                       localhost
         service_description             HTTP
         check_command                   check_http!$ARG1$  
         notifications_enabled           1
         }

where  $ARG!$ is the "-p 8080 " string you with to direct the HTTP request to .

There are various options in the host definition which determine
whether Nagios will send a notification for a host.  For example
max_check_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, contact_groups,
first_notification_delay, notification_period, notification_options
and notifications_enabled.  You can read all about them in the
documentation at:

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

It's possible too that you might have disabled notifications for the
host.  Check the host in the web front-end to make sure.  In the host
detail screen it should say (amongst other things) "Notifications:
ENABLED".

Also note that host and service notification options are specified
separately in the contact definition.  For example, the template I use
for contacts looks like this:

define contact{
  name                            generic-contact
  service_notification_period     24x7
  host_notification_period        24x7
  service_notification_options    w,c,r
  host_notification_options       d,r
  service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-email
  host_notification_commands      notify-host-by-email
  register                        0
  }


The host notification command is usually different to the service
notification command.  Check your command definitions and make sure
there isn't some problem with your host notification command.

hth,

Jim

Subject: NRPE only_from
Message-ID: <!&!AAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAADw1FTPxxwxAqGSPfErmtgrCgAAAEAAAAJzXS9An90RDk+dEIrPfPtkBAAAAAA==@chetnet.co.uk>

Hi all, I want to test connectivity from the outside world to my Linux box
inside my network, I'm wanting to test before I try and monitor an external
box.

On the inside of my network I have a Linux box on 192.168.3.245 running NRPE
and my Nagios Server on 192.168.3.247
Both of these are connected to a 3560 Cisco Switch which in turn is
connected to my Linksys Router then onto my Cable modem.

On my Linux box I have in my nrpe "only_from = 192.168.3.247 which allows
Nagios to gather its stats, however if I change it to the public IP address
that is given I get the following errors "Check_NRPE: Error Could not
complete SSL handshake".

In my .cfg file on my Nagios server (the cfg of the box I want to monitor) I
have pointed it to my public IP address and restarted Nagios.
On my Linksys Router I'm port forwarding to the Linux box port 5666 but it
makes no difference, I have even put my Linux box in the DMZ but still no
joy.

Does anybody know how I can test my Linux box so it looks like its from the
external network, failing that does anybody have a test box I can try and
monitor for 10 minutes or so.

Also, NRPE the line only_from, am I allowed to put the domain name or is it
just IP address only.

Thanks

Martyn

NRPE will never see the public IP of your Linksys Router/Cable modem.  
The requests do not originate from that device. It may pass them, but  
it does not originate them. You need to permit the (public) IP of the  
machine you are testing from.

I would be very surprised if the Linksys router supported NAT  
reflection. The key is that the requests must come in from the WAN  
interface for the port forwarding to work. If you're testing the port  
forwarding from your nagios machine (on private IP), the Linksys box  
isn't going to use the Forward rule for that connection.

Test from a machine that is off your network, on the public Internet;  
a friends computer or one at work. Unless you have multiple public  
IP's given to you by your provider, an architecture to simulate that  
locally is complicated.

Do you mean 'allowed_hosts'?

# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is an optional comma-delimited list of IP address or hostnames
# that are allowed to talk to the NRPE daemon.

Subject: Ndoutils MySQL performance problem?
Message-ID: <fa1469130903030944s1bea9bedqd4926668563a0a4e@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone!

I'm having huge troubles with Mysql using 100% of CPU at peculiar times. I
don't know when this problem starts and I don't know the reason, but when it
happends I kill nagios, ndoutils and Mysql, and try to restart Mysql,
ndoutils and Nagios at this order. When I start Nagios, the CPU usage of
Mysql goes to 100% and everything just freezes with the initials
INSERT/UPDATES made by ndoutils.

Has anyone had the same problem? I've changed my.cnf to hold slow-queries
logging, an have seen at intervals of 1 minute a query runned by ndo that
tries to delete service_checks results. It takes about 4 seconds too run. Is
this expected? Can anyone help me?

Running Nagios 3.0.3, Debian etch, NDO2DB 1.4b7 and mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib
5.0.45.


Slow-Queries log:
# Time: 090303 14:29:25
# User at Host: ndoutils[ndoutils] @ localhost []
# Query_time: 4  Lock_time: 0  Rows_sent: 0  Rows_examined: 0
DELETE FROM nagios_servicechecks WHERE instance_id='1' AND
start_time<FROM_UNIXTIME(1235496561);
# Time: 090303 14:30:26
# User at Host: ndoutils[ndoutils] @ localhost []

DELETE FROM nagios_servicechecks WHERE instance_id='1' AND

Thank you.

Open the web panel of Nagios and click on the "documentation" link.
It's the second entry in the "general" category in the left frame.

Hello Nagios Users,

I am hoping someone can help. This is not a technical problem as such but just a general request. I am introducing Nagios to my University as a monitoring solution, and I would like be able to list a few companies/academic establishments who are using Nagios to monitor their networks in a forthcoming presentation. Does such a list exist, and if so please point me to the URL.

Hello,

I would suggest someone to "port" check_logfiles to "windows" (ie 
working with for instance pure Perl or some such).
That is the "point" of the NRPE support in NSClient++ (and others)

I'm running 40 hosts in Amazon EC2. They are Xen virtual machines and
all of their clocks are synced via NTP. I have never had a problem
with time shift nor CPU performance.

Thanks Marc. My bad. What I should have been looking for is "View

Thanks Jim. That makes sense now. I was misinterpreting the term

Try creating a index for that table

-----
create index   nagios_servicechecks_idx1 on nagios_servicechecks
(start_time, instance_id)
-----

I'm not sure if the order would change the result though

(start_time, instance_id) OR (instance_id, start_time)

You can read this thread too:

http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net/msg23943.html

There's a list of indexes to create at the end.

Subject: Notifications configuration
Message-ID: <77f48c0d0903030845i65c52e2dt221ece139721d19f@mail.gmail.com>

I am setting up my first nagios instance, and I am trying to figure
out how to set up the notifications.   I would like to have any
service that is a warning send an email, while any service that is
critical send a page.  I can not find in the configurations where I
can set that threshold.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
B

Nagios doesn't implement that type of logic. Some options that come to  
mind --

1) Create a contact per status. contact1 that sends e-mails only does  
so for critical services; contact2 that sends pages only does so for  
warning services.
2) Have one contact but multiple notification commands  
(service_notification_commands service-notify-by-email,service-notify- 
by-pager). -by-email and -by-pager contain simple logic to only work  
for critical or warning respectively.
3) Create one contact with one notification command. That notification  
command contains the simple logic to send an e-mail or send a page  
depending on the notification type.
4) ...
5) Profit!

This kind of configuration is discussed somewhat frequently on the  
list. The archives might provide more information.

Although I'm new and still setting up how I want to monitor my Servers and
Routers, it got me thinking about texts that I receive whilst I'm in bed,
I'm so used to getting a text statement from my bank that I now sleep
through them, so text alerts are not sufficient enough for me to lift my
head of my pillow if there was a fault.

Does anybody know of a company that offers email to voice service, this way
I get Nagios to send an email to a server which in turn call my mobile and
will play me an alert of some kind.

Cheers

Martyn

Does anyone know where I can find MIB sheets for Exchange 2003?  We would like to monitor things like "inforomation store" and such in Nagios.

Thank you.

Shameless plug:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/custom-checks-and-notifications-nagios

This is an article I wrote some time ago that shows you how to get a
phone call from asterisk/nagios in the event of a fault.  You simply
record a voice message and there you go.

Look into using NSClient++ and use it to access the Windows performance 
counters to get this type of information. Microsoft's support of SNMP is 
not all that great.

If you don't want to install anything on the Exchange server, you could 
also look into using WMI to get the same information remotely. I'm not 
sure about how to integrate that with Nagios, though.

hi,

NC_Net has a WMI query Check built into it,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net/

As well as ability to run scripts/executables, NSCA Support, Performance
Counters, and EventLogs.

There are also some VB Scrpts under Windows NRPE on nagios exchang that
process through checking WMI

Thanks very much for the reply.
I will also take a look at your client too, how stable is it at present?

Cheers

You don't have to purchase one. If you want to do the editing manually, use

Or if you want to automate it, look into MakeMSI. 
http://dennisbareis.com/makemsi.htm This scripting language is a bit quirky,
but it works.

That said, I'm currently working on a complete Nagios client including
install package that may do just about the same thing (and a few more
things). You can already download it from Sourceforge, although the "burn
the server IP address into the MSI" functionality isn't implemented yet. One
thing I did differently from NSClient is that I am using HTTPS to submit the
results (an older version also supported SSH, but I have not re-implemented
that in the latest version). That lets me avoid firewall issues.

It is based on NSClient++ with quite a few enhancements.

Hi Martyn,

The client itself actually is quite stable; I have it running on several 
of my customer's servers for a few months now - maybe two years if you 
count the old versions. It is a fairly small piece of software written 
in C++ (the original version was written in VBS) and have yet to see it 
crash or cause any problems. The main value of the client - aside from 
my own innovation of using HTTPS to submit the passive check results - 
is that it packages quite a few third-party plugins, including 
NSClient++, and their configurations into a single installer package.

What isn't stable about it is the exact specification, behavior and 
which plugins get packaged and how they are configured; I expect that 
there will be ongoing changes. The interface between the TNTMonitoring 
client and Nagios should be fairly stable - it is simply the standard 
NSCA protocol, but running over HTTPS PUT requests.

On the receiving end, a simple PHP script accepts the results and puts 
it to the Nagios command file. The source code for TNTMonitoring 
contains an older version of that script; I should really be updating that.

Also the documentation is really somewhat insufficient.

The current installer will ask a number of questions before installing 
everything. One of the improvements I'm working on is to come up with a 
"quiet" version that simply installs without asking any questions - 
basically, what you've been asking for.

Hello,

I would suggest someone to "port" check_logfiles to "windows" (ie 
working with for instance pure Perl or some such).
That is the "point" of the NRPE support in NSClient++ (and others)

since you define a command to wait a argument , you need to supply that in the command call in the 
check execution - meaning in the declaration of the service .
so your service definition should be something like this :

define service{
        use                             local-service         ; Name of service template to use
         host_name                       localhost
         service_description             HTTP
         check_command                   check_http!$ARG1$  
         notifications_enabled           1
         }

where  $ARG!$ is the "-p 8080 " string you with to direct the HTTP request to .

There are various options in the host definition which determine
whether Nagios will send a notification for a host.  For example
max_check_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, contact_groups,
first_notification_delay, notification_period, notification_options
and notifications_enabled.  You can read all about them in the
documentation at:

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

It's possible too that you might have disabled notifications for the
host.  Check the host in the web front-end to make sure.  In the host
detail screen it should say (amongst other things) "Notifications:
ENABLED".

Also note that host and service notification options are specified
separately in the contact definition.  For example, the template I use
for contacts looks like this:

define contact{
  name                            generic-contact
  service_notification_period     24x7
  host_notification_period        24x7
  service_notification_options    w,c,r
  host_notification_options       d,r
  service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-email
  host_notification_commands      notify-host-by-email
  register                        0
  }


The host notification command is usually different to the service
notification command.  Check your command definitions and make sure
there isn't some problem with your host notification command.

hth,

Jim

Hi all, I want to test connectivity from the outside world to my Linux box
inside my network, I'm wanting to test before I try and monitor an external
box.

On the inside of my network I have a Linux box on 192.168.3.245 running NRPE
and my Nagios Server on 192.168.3.247
Both of these are connected to a 3560 Cisco Switch which in turn is
connected to my Linksys Router then onto my Cable modem.

On my Linux box I have in my nrpe "only_from = 192.168.3.247 which allows
Nagios to gather its stats, however if I change it to the public IP address
that is given I get the following errors "Check_NRPE: Error Could not
complete SSL handshake".

In my .cfg file on my Nagios server (the cfg of the box I want to monitor) I
have pointed it to my public IP address and restarted Nagios.
On my Linksys Router I'm port forwarding to the Linux box port 5666 but it
makes no difference, I have even put my Linux box in the DMZ but still no
joy.

Does anybody know how I can test my Linux box so it looks like its from the
external network, failing that does anybody have a test box I can try and
monitor for 10 minutes or so.

Also, NRPE the line only_from, am I allowed to put the domain name or is it
just IP address only.

Thanks

Martyn

NRPE will never see the public IP of your Linksys Router/Cable modem.  
The requests do not originate from that device. It may pass them, but  
it does not originate them. You need to permit the (public) IP of the  
machine you are testing from.

I would be very surprised if the Linksys router supported NAT  
reflection. The key is that the requests must come in from the WAN  
interface for the port forwarding to work. If you're testing the port  
forwarding from your nagios machine (on private IP), the Linksys box  
isn't going to use the Forward rule for that connection.

Test from a machine that is off your network, on the public Internet;  
a friends computer or one at work. Unless you have multiple public  
IP's given to you by your provider, an architecture to simulate that  
locally is complicated.

Do you mean 'allowed_hosts'?

# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is an optional comma-delimited list of IP address or hostnames
# that are allowed to talk to the NRPE daemon.

Open the web panel of Nagios and click on the "documentation" link.
It's the second entry in the "general" category in the left frame.

Hello everyone!

I'm having huge troubles with Mysql using 100% of CPU at peculiar times. I
don't know when this problem starts and I don't know the reason, but when it
happends I kill nagios, ndoutils and Mysql, and try to restart Mysql,
ndoutils and Nagios at this order. When I start Nagios, the CPU usage of
Mysql goes to 100% and everything just freezes with the initials
INSERT/UPDATES made by ndoutils.

Has anyone had the same problem? I've changed my.cnf to hold slow-queries
logging, an have seen at intervals of 1 minute a query runned by ndo that
tries to delete service_checks results. It takes about 4 seconds too run. Is
this expected? Can anyone help me?

Running Nagios 3.0.3, Debian etch, NDO2DB 1.4b7 and mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib
5.0.45.


Slow-Queries log:
# Time: 090303 14:29:25
# User at Host: ndoutils[ndoutils] @ localhost []
# Query_time: 4  Lock_time: 0  Rows_sent: 0  Rows_examined: 0
DELETE FROM nagios_servicechecks WHERE instance_id='1' AND
start_time<FROM_UNIXTIME(1235496561);
# Time: 090303 14:30:26
# User at Host: ndoutils[ndoutils] @ localhost []
# Query_time: 4  Lock_time: 0  Rows_sent: 0  Rows_examined: 0
DELETE FROM nagios_servicechecks WHERE instance_id='1' AND
start_time<FROM_UNIXTIME(1235496622);

Thank you.

Hello Nagios Users,

I am hoping someone can help. This is not a technical problem as such but just a general request. I am introducing Nagios to my University as a monitoring solution, and I would like be able to list a few companies/academic establishments who are using Nagios to monitor their networks in a forthcoming presentation. Does such a list exist, and if so please point me to the URL.

Hello,

I would suggest someone to "port" check_logfiles to "windows" (ie 
working with for instance pure Perl or some such).
That is the "point" of the NRPE support in NSClient++ (and others)

I'm running 40 hosts in Amazon EC2. They are Xen virtual machines and
all of their clocks are synced via NTP. I have never had a problem
with time shift nor CPU performance.

Thanks Marc. My bad. What I should have been looking for is "View

Thanks Jim. That makes sense now. I was misinterpreting the term
"alert history". I already have PNP4nagios working.

Try creating a index for that table

-----
create index   nagios_servicechecks_idx1 on nagios_servicechecks
(start_time, instance_id)
-----

I'm not sure if the order would change the result though

(start_time, instance_id) OR (instance_id, start_time)

I have actually no idea why... the rrdtool is set up but it seems
that no DBs will be generated... more info here:

If you are able to query CPU and disk using SNMP, that's probably
going to be the easiest way to monitor them on a Solaris system.  I
monitor an older Solaris system this way quite successfully.  You'll
find some good Nagios plugins for querying systems using SNMP at
http://nagios.manubulon.com/ and http://nagiosexchange.org

As for a step-by-step guide, if you find the documentation heavy
going, you could try one of the many books available on the subject.
My personal favourite is "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth, pub. No Starch
Press http://nostarch.com/nagios_2e.htm .  I found the 1st edition
very helpful and have just bought the 2nd edition.

hth,

Jim

Subject: scheduling problems
Message-ID: <0KFZ00B1I5NHNY00@mail.vlaamsparlement.be>

Hi,

 

Since the beginning of the year we are experiencing some problems with the scheduling of checks on our nagios installation. Some checks that normally run several times a day are now scheduled for a time more than a year from now.

 

For example a check that runs today will have a next scheduled check date of 05/03/2010 instead of 05/03/2009. There is no real connection between the checks, it's like a random problem. Some checks have it, others don't. a manual reschedule of the check does solve the problem but sometimes only temporary.

 

We have upgraded our version of nagios to 3.1.0 but we did have the problem on previous versions as well.

 

Any ideas as what is causing this problem?

Hi Mike, thanks for the shameless link and the links from that also, some
nice reading material there.
Could this be adopted to use Call Manager Express with VM in the same way as
I have this running as my home phone system.

Cheers

Martyn

Shameless plug:

This is an article I wrote some time ago that shows you how to get a phone
call from asterisk/nagios in the event of a fault.  You simply record a
voice message and there you go.

Welcome to the club Dries. We are experiencing this same problem, I notified nagios development group and they are probably still looking for a solution. Did you see if the problem occurs for services with different timeperiods(!=24x7)?
Can you send me directly your service/timeperiod configuration?

Let's wait for a Nagios Devel return for a while.
On the below link you can find a problem description and a workaround that, according Nagios Devel List, doesn't work;

We only use the 24x7 timeperiod for host checks. Service checks don't run between 00:00 and 04:00 (this is our backup window and we noticed some checks give false warnings and critical because of running backup jobs). So theoretically all our services could possibly be affected by this problem, there is no way of telling which services are infected and which are not.

I will look into the workaround you provided

Did you have some "daylight saving" change recently?
And just to let the thinks clear, I didn't provide this workaround and it's not supposed to work :).

Subject: Need help to monitor ASP.NET performance counters
	for windows 2008
Message-ID: <49AE8711.4010305@netmagicsolutions.com>

Hi,

I am using Nagios Version 3.0.3 on server side.
Need to monitor ASP.NET counters of Window 2008 (64 bit)
On windows 2008 , I have installed pNsclient.exe
also tried with nsclient++

On server side in commands.cfg

# 'check_nt_Counters' command definition
define command {
        command_name    check_nt_counters
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -s 
password -v COUNTER -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
        }


in services.cfg

## Below is Service Definition for ASP.NET Apps v2.050727 - Sessions Active
define service{
        use                             windows-service
        host_name                       host1
        service_description             ASP.NET_Apps-Sessions_Active
        check_command                   check_nt_counters!"\\ASP.NET 
Apps v2.050727\\Sessions Active"!2000!2500
        }


I am getting the output value as 0 but exactly in perfmon I can see the 
exact value i.e approx 1000


Also tried nrpe_nt to install on windows 2008. But throwing error while 
starting the service.

Windows could not start th Nagios Remote Plugin Executor for NT/W at K 
service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request 
in timely manner.


Regrds,

Sujit

Hi all,

	I'm at wits end here trying to figure out how to monitor radius with
nagios.  I have tried multiple plugins, but all to no avail.

	I tried the check_radius plugin that ships with nagios-plugins, but I
kept getting "Auth failed" and no packets were ever sent to my radius
server.

	I tried radauth from NagiosExchange (both the original and the updated
radauth.c) and they failed with error in radius about malformed packets.

	I moved on to radius_check_adv and radius_check_ih, both from
NagiosExchange, and they both fail with errors about the secrets not
being correct, though I have checked them multiple times and even tried
configuring them as testing123 and test and nagios and more.  radtest
(from freeradius) can authenticate with no problem using the same secrets.

	What am I missing?  Is there some super-secret config switch I need to
set or something?

Thanks!

What's the check_radius command line you're using and how does your
radiusclient.conf look like?

FWIW, I use a command line such as:

	check_radius -F /path/to/etc/radius/client.conf \
	             -H radius.example.com -P 1812 \
	             -u username -p password

... and a configuration similar to the following:

	#
	# /path/to/etc/radius/client.conf:
	#
	authserver      radius.example.com
	acctserver      radius.example.com
	servers         /path/to/etc/radius/servers
	login_tries     4
	login_timeout   60
	radius_timeout  10
	radius_retries  3
	dictionary      /path/to/etc/radius/dictionary
	mapfile         /path/to/etc/radius/port-id-map
	seqfile         /path/to/var/run/radius/seq
	nologin         /etc/nologin

	#
	# /path/to/etc/radius/servers:
	#
	radius.example.com	sh4red-s3cr3t

Fairly busy at the moment, but getting check_radius to work is a bit
tedious.  This plugin actually checks to see if it gets a valid response
from the radius daemon against an actual user, not just if the port is
open.  So, you've got to setup the clients and users files correctly on the
radius server.  You've also got to install a radius client on the nagios
server and configure its conf file as well.  The actual check command looks
something like:

define command {
  command_name check_radius
  command_line $USER1$/check_radius -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -F
/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf -u <valid user in users file> -p
<password> -P 1812
}

With check_radius, I had used a configuration almost identical to what
you had (of course, addresses and secrets were different) ...  I've run
across an old message mentioning that running check_radius as root made
it work..

However, while I can get it to remotely contact the server if I run it
as root, I still get an Auth failed error.  I have, again, double
checked secrets and made sure that the nagios server is in the
clients.conf file properly.

And so now I have multiple radius clients that cannot seem to get the
secret correct, yet radtest works flawlessly.

Could this possibly be a 64-bit issue?  These servers are x86_64 RHEL5
servers..  Maybe that's a problem?  I'm grasping at this point...

I have used check_radius.pl by Carlos Vicente sucessfully in the past
(it's title is "Perl check radius" on nagiosexchange.org).  I found
that after a month though the password for the radius account I was
using would time out and the check would fail.  Fair enough, but the
admin of the Radius server would never get around to resetting the
password for me so I gave up in the end and have stopped monitoring
it.

Good luck.

Jim

What does your radius server log file say about it?

Thanks for the tip.  I just spent all of 10 minutes getting the perl
version up and running.  And it worked, first time.

I have no idea what the problem is with the other programs, but since
this works, I'll leave it at that.

Thanks!

It says the secrets are mismatched.  If you look at the debug output,
you can clearly see this is the case, as well.  The password shown in
the debug output is garbled, unlike when I use radtest, where the
password is displayed properly.

It works just fine for me without root privileges.  Is the radiusclient
configuration (including the "servers" file) readable for the user
executing check_radius?

Yes, there are issues with radiusclient on 64-bit systems.  However, it
should work with radiusclient-ng[*], or with the following patch against
radiusclient (included with Debian's libradius1 0.3.2-9):

PNP4Nagios has a feature called "pages" that allows you to show multiple
services for the same host or multiple hosts for the same service. It should
be easy to use since it supports regular expressions. Check the following

Subject: authenticated user always "guest"
Message-ID: <49AEEF7F.1050500@jla.rutgers.edu>


Hi all,

We've recently started to upgrade from Nagios 2.7 to 3.1 and noticed 
something odd.

We use .htaccess with Apache in the Nagios webroot to restrict 
authentication to only our internal LDAP system. Once auth'd Nagios' 
cgi.conf then defines which users have which perms. Users coming from 
our "protected" IP space don't have to auth at all and get the default 
user of guest.

This has been working fine for us over the last year or two, but since 
trying to move to 3.1 the same method and config files are giving us 
different behavior. After authenticating succesfully as user "bob", 
Nagios doesn't pick up bob as the auth'd name and just sees me as the 
default "guest". Which means bob's Nagios perms are not activated, 
guest's are.

No matter what I've tried I can't get Nagios to accept the authenticated 
user name from Apache, yet I have this working fine in 2.7 with 
identical configs.

Anyone else seen the same behavior or have any ideas? This really has me 
stumped and is a blocker for us upgrading.

Thanks,
-Dave

Subject: Automatic Configuration Update
Message-ID: <c4e6d5440903041345w501ef0efmd9d803e46e3762ed@mail.gmail.com>

Hello users:

I am trying to do the following:

   - From a script, automatically generate Nagios configuration files for
   host addition.
   - From the same script export individual files to a web based Nagios
   configuration tool (NagiosQL or Lilac for example).
   - Finally reload both Nagios and the Web Configuration tool, also from
   the script.

I have looked at both "NagiosQL" and "Lilac" since both have nice
configuration tools and import options. However none of them provide a text
console interface for importing config files from a script nor periodical
scheduling of file imports.

Has anybody implemented this? Is there a better tool for this besides
NagiosQL or Lilac?

Any pointers are appreciated

//Marco

It figures that after three hours of debugging, as soon as I send mail 
the problem is fixed. We actually use *two* htaccess files, and the 
second one in the cgi area was missing.  ;)
 
I did find a bug in config.inc.php which I'm upstreaming though.

Thanks anyways!

Twilio.com has a REST API to make phone calls. You can do it all via a
script with an HTTP client library.

Subject: Nagios/NRPE relationship
Message-ID: <!&!AAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAADw1FTPxxwxAqGSPfErmtgrCgAAAEAAAAGzPO+pwBItHprAYPE6fVQoBAAAAAA==@chetnet.co.uk>

Hi all, hope you do no think this is a stupid question; however I have to
ask it anyway for a better understanding.

I have my Nagios Server with NRPE plugins installed and I have a Linux
Remote Server that I want to monitor, I know that you need NRPE on the
remote Linux box but after that it goes a bit glazed, this is the bit I need
to understand.

Here is the standard configuration NRPE installed on my remote Linux box:

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_disk1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p
/dev/sda1
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

So my question is, if I need to monitor SMTP on the remote box I would have
to ask the remote administrator to add the following command to their
nrpe.cfg:

Command[check_smtp]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smtp -H localhost

Do they have to use the -H localhost directive or is there something
different they can use, the localhost just does not seem right looking at
the other examples above.

Then on my Nagios Server, under the .cfg box I want to monitor I define the
command:

define service{
        use                              generic-service       
        host_name                   linux-server
        service_description       SSH
        check_command          check_nrpe!check_ssh
        }


Hope its not such a stupid question that it does not warrant a reply.

I'm no expert at MySQL performance, but we found a couple of things that 
helped speed up NDO significantly:

-We are using a my.cnf based on the "my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf" example 
that comes with MySQL.
-The innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit setting in that file is "2" (instead 
of 1..the difference in performance is huge, and the trade off in data 
integrity is negligible for us).

If your process gets heavy over time, you may have to reduce things in 
ndo2db.cfg like max_servicechecks_age (to keep the size of these 
historical tables manageable).

I find that these are my two largest. They grow *huge* I had to drop  
them and recreate just last week as they were ~20G and ~35G  
respectively...

1.5G	nagios_host_contactgroups.ibd
3.2G	nagios_service_contactgroups.ibd

They're not particularly relevant to me but I don't see that there is  
that kind of granularity to exclude them...

Hi - 

I found

x-3x-and-vmware-esxi to be very useful for our setup. 
 
The other good one I've found is

Perfomance Counters on windows are sometimes tricky
Have you looked at log files for Nsclient++ ?

Have you tried NC_NEt for these yet?
- It comunicates with Check_nt as well
but does not require any configuration on the Windows Host side other than
install and start for all the standard pNsClient commands/Defaults


I think you may need to tweek you Nagios Configuration for this issue - I
found sometimes the " get parsed out when passed to the Command definition
try the following:
define command {
        command_name    check_nt_counters
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -s
password -v COUNTER -l "$ARG1$" -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
        }

define service{
        use                             windows-service
        host_name                       host1
        service_description             ASP.NET_Apps-Sessions_Active
        check_command
check_nt_counters!\\ASP.NET<http://asp.net/>Apps v2.050727\\Sessions
Active!2000!2500
        }

What "few plugins" have you tried? And what advanced features are you
after?  Have you checked http://www.nagiosexchange.org ?

I'm assuming you mean the Nagios UI, in which case you'll want to look
for mod_auth_ldap and active directory.  The Nagios UI is just a web
page, authentication is done via your web server.  Assuming Apache,
then mod_auth_ldap, or mod_auth_kerberos should be where you are
looking.

Have you tried executing from the command line to see if the command
is executing properly? Whilst it shouldn't be a huge issue, have you
tried dropping the version specific counter?

So the service isn't starting that you're trying to use to get
counters from? nsclient++ seems to work okay, not tested on 2008 yet,
pretty soon though.

I don't have that counter monitored, but I do have RAS monitored with
nsclient++.

Subject: check_ping to monitor all IP's of a firewall
Message-ID: <25251aec0903050006o63e9384ew5abbaccd65542972@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I've a question on how to monitor multiple IP's of a firewall device using
check_ping in Nagios. Example, I have a firewall (prod-fireall) has 6 ip's
associated with it so in host.cfg i should do like this

define host{
          host_name       Prod-firewall-0
          use             generic-switch
          address         xx.xx.xx.40
          hostgroups      firewall
          }

define host{
          host_name       Prod-firewall-1
          use             generic-switch
          address         xx.xx.xx.41
          hostgroups      firewall
          }
define host{
          host_name       Prod-firewall-2
          use             generic-switch
          address         xx.xx.xx.42
          hostgroups      firewall
          }
like I need to assign different hostname per each ip address but in the
nagios interface, this looks a long list of host name that we dont want to
have. Is there any way that I can have a single hostname showing in nagios
interface and that should monitor all IPs associated with it?

Please let me know if possoble

thanks

Subject: Determining status of a single service
Message-ID: <C2CDA28CB6E1484BB10006BF326D4D083FD503@srv-cob-00-0056.elaxy.org>

Hi All!

Is there any combination of parameters with status.cgi or some other
script that one could use to easily determine the current status of a
specific host:service? I can get the whole page with this kind of URL

nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=HOSTNAME

and then simply parse out the status of the specific service. However, I
am not too happy with relying on the structure of an HTML page. 

I would like to be able to call up a URL from a remote machine, passing
the hostname and service, and get some very basic text like OK or a
numeric value for the status of that service. I would then take this
value and pass it to some other application. Building something with
Perl or PHP is straight forward  (we're running NDO). But I was hoping
that something is already available. 

Any input is appreaciated.

Regards,

Jim Mohr

You can do the same thing in services as you did in hosts. First, define

-p 5
        }

And then add the services you need:

define host {
     host_name Prod-firewall
     use generic-switch
     address xx.xx.xx.40
     hostgroups firewall
}

define service {
    host_name Prod-firewall
    service_Description Ping_1
    use generic-service
    check_period       24x7
    notification-interval 240
    notification_period 24x7
    check_command check_ping_ip!xx.xx.xx.40!3000.0,80%!5000.0,100%
}


define service {
    host_name Prod-firewall
    service_Description Ping_1
    use generic-service
    check_period       24x7
    notification-interval 240
    notification_period 24x7
    check_command check_ping_ip!xx.xx.xx.41!3000.0,80%!5000.0,100%
}

and so on

You should do as Kevin suggested or you can define one service that check if
all interfaces of the firewall are up (there are many plugins which address
this issue)

Subject: How to monitor using  custom scripts  in nagios.
Message-ID: <49AFAFE1.9020009@enlume.com>

Hi Friends,
I Want share My experience  of   monitoring  scripts on  nagios , Very 
simple and Easy.
I am 3 months experienced with nagios  and  u should  make copy of all 
your modifying  files initially.

Actually I want to  monitor tomcat threads,memory etc.. along with other 
services , i could not find plug ins similar  to  mysql.
In my office  we have inbuilt scripts  to monitor  tomcat manually.
On test bases I had taken one of this script  and tested , I had success.
There are other ways thanks to Mr.Richard Quintin  who  shared his 
knowledge of using nagiosgraph  and scripts to monitor tomcat but my 
suse10.2 , monitoring server have few issues i  could not go head 
instead tried this.

Monitoring   nagios using  scripts.
Example:
Monitoring tomcat Threads.

At remote host side i.e where nrpe is installed / monitored box

Created a file tomcat_threads.sh using vi editor

#vi tomcat_threads.sh
Entered  following  three line code

#!/bin/sh
totalThreads=`ps -C java -L -o pid,tid,pcpu,state | wc -l`
echo "Total Threads Available:$totalThreads"

Save the file and quit

Made sure first  script runs at  # prompt.

Moved script to  /usr/local/nagios/libexec  folder if its not created here.

Set permission
#chmod  755 tomcat_threads.sh

Give ownner ship to nagios user only.
#chown   nagios:nagios  tomcat_threads.sh


#cd /usr/local/nagios/etc
#vi nrpe.cfg

Append below command  line

command[tomcat_threads.sh]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/tomcat_threads.sh

Save and quit

Restart  xinetd to make  changes effected.
#service xinetd restart


At monitoring server side /  where nagios monitoring  server  installed.
#cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/

#vi services.cfg
Append this  service

define service{
          use                              generic-service
          host_name                   amazon
         service_description       tomcat_threads.sh
        check_command           check_nrpe!tomcat_threads.sh
         notifications_enabled     0
         }

Save and quit

check for erorrs
#/usr/local/nagios/bin /nagios -v  /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
correct your erorror if any.

Restart nagios service
#service nagios restart
  
DISCLAIMER:
This is what worked for me  and i am confident i will add as many as 
scripts i want in future.
You make changes as it suits to you and i own no responsibility  for 
typo error or if some thing  goes wrong.

Please share your knowledge, knowledges grows by sharing while money  
reduces by sharing.

monitoring server have few issues i  could not go head instead tried this.

Monitoring   nagios using  scripts.
Example:
Monitoring tomcat Threads.

At remote host side i.e where nrpe is installed / monitored box

Created a file tomcat_threads.sh using vi editor

#vi tomcat_threads.sh
Entered  following  three line code

#!/bin/sh
totalThreads=`ps -C java -L -o pid,tid,pcpu,state | wc -l`
echo "Total Threads Available:$totalThreads"

Save the file and quit

Made sure first  script runs at  # prompt.

Moved script to  /usr/local/nagios/libexec  folder if its not created here.

Set permission
#chmod  755 tomcat_threads.sh

Give ownner ship to nagios user only.
#chown   nagios:nagios  tomcat_threads.sh


#cd /usr/local/nagios/etc
#vi nrpe.cfg

Append below command  line

command[tomcat_threads.sh]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/tomcat_threads.sh

Save and quit

Restart  xinetd to make  changes effected.
#service xinetd restart


At monitoring server side /  where nagios monitoring  server  installed.
#cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/

#vi services.cfg
Append this  service

define service{
          use                              generic-service
          host_name                   amazon
         service_description       tomcat_threads.sh
        check_command           check_nrpe!tomcat_threads.sh
         notifications_enabled     0
         }

Save and quit

check for erorrs 
#/usr/local/nagios/bin /nagios -v  /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
correct your erorror if any.

Restart nagios service
#service nagios restart
   
DISCLAIMER:
This is what worked for me  and i am confident i will add as many as scripts
i want in future.
You make changes as it suits to you and i own no responsibility  for typo
error or if some thing  goes wrong.

Please share your knowledge, knowledges grows by sharing while money
reduces by sharing.

Kevin,

I did what you suggested, now I can one hostname and underneath I can see
services as ping_1, ping_2,..... to monitor other ips in the same
host/device. this looks kool. But I tried to shut down one server that
relates to the IP ( i added my test server IP here to check), I can still
see that the host's IP is up and running in Nagios. And when I down the
actual hostname ie Prod-firewall all the services related to that host were
down.

It looks the solution you gave me is not working. Any idea?

Thanks

I can only guess, but it sounds as if all the service checks are still 
using check_ping instead of your new command check_ping_ip. Either that, 
or check_ping_ip is misdefined; make sure that the argument to -H in 
your command is $ARG1$, not the host IP address.

You may want to turn on logging and check the Nagios log files to see 
what commands are actually being issued.

Subject: SELinux problem for SNMP
In-Reply-To: <AAFC9DD921CA4887A1E620E6005945F3@linuxbug>
References: <49AEA33E.30007@ninds.nih.gov>

Message-ID: <49AFDC8D.60705@ninds.nih.gov>

I have a CentOS machine that has selinux in enforcing/targeted mode and 
is monitored with snmp checks by nagios successfully. The SE boolean 
value for snmpd_disable_trans is off on my machine and I can still query 
snmp.  I would recommend the following:
. check the firewall/iptables rules for udp port 161
. enable logging in iptables to see if the firewall is dropping packets 
(requires more work)
. check the source and string under the com2sec definition in snmpd.conf
. check the view definition in snmpd.conf, defaults are a bit restrictive
. try using the setroubleshoot browser to see if any snmpd related 
warnings pop up.  These warnings can include a section called Allowing 
Access.

Subject: Check attempt number do not reset
Message-ID: <a548f35b0903050653r309d9ddla7c4adb98991f570@mail.gmail.com>

I?m noticing that, sometimes, the check attempt number do not reset to "1"
after a recovery state, as we can see below:

[1236254782] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;SOFT;1;No route to host
[1236254852] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;UP;SOFT;2;TCP OK - 0.519 second response
time on port 135
[1236255172] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - Socket timeout
after 10 seconds  <---- Should be "SOFT:1", not "SOFT:2"
[1236255242] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;SOFT;3;Network is unreachable
[1236255312] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;HARD;4;Network is unreachable

Is this a normal behaviour or is it a Nagios problem?

Thanks in advance,
Rodney.

Subject: New to Nagios - Watching Services
Message-ID: <5caea3690903050654x260ca1d4i9398ffd41968d365@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I am very new to Nagios but am trying to convince my company that Nagios is
the way to go instead of our current monitoring application that we pay a
lot for and is VERY basic.  I have a series of items that I need to get
Nagios to do so I am excited to be learning it and will probably frequent
this list.

To start with, how do I specify to watch a service in Windows?  For example,
I want to watch the Backup Exec remote agent on a series of servers and be
paged if for some reason it is not started.  Do I need an add on for this or
can I simply specify it in the Windows Cfg file?

Thanks.

Kevin

Please disregard, I just stumbled onto the *SERVICESTATE *definition so I
will play with that.

I tried once to get RICOH Savin Printers checked via Nagios. Searched high and low for something and never did find anything that was already developed.
Figured I was going to have to write my own stuff.
Now I'm trying the same thing with Toshiba printers, nothing there either.

If someone has a way to utilize "Check_hpjd" for non HP printers, lets pool the knowledge on this subject.

Try looking into NSClient++ for all kinds of elaborate monitoring 
possibilities. I am using it to check for stopped services, among other 
things.

^^^^^ Wasn't in a HARD OK state yet so hadn't _really_ recovered.

Doesn't appear to be a bug, IMHO.

It helps me to build up a NRPE service check manually. First execute
it manually on the host and confirm it's working, next copy the
command line into the nrpe configuration. Disconnect from that host
and connect to the host where nagios is running and manually execute
the check_nrpe plugin with the IP/hostname of the remote host to
confirm remote execution works. Then go into the service configuration
and lock it down. I prefer not to pass arguments via NRPE, so the
service check is always just the name of the NRPE command name on the
remote host.

There is also SNMP, though that's a real can of worms if you haven't
yet worked with Net-SNMP before.

I think I can speak for most of us in recommending that you read the  
documentation at least once. It's very thorough and covers theory of  
operation and most common questions and configurations. The QuickStart  
section addresses this particular question at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html 
.

I'm actually writing a plugin for monitoring printers. Currently, I have 
only tested it with HP printers, but at least in theory it should work 
with Ricoh and others as well, since it uses standard SNMP. If you want 
to try it out, download http://sourceforge.net/projects/tntnagiosplugin/ 
I would actually appreciate feedback about what printers it does or does 
not work with.

One catch: the plugin only runs on Windows, so it is not directly useful 
for the majority of nagios users (I wrote it primarily for my own 
needs). Also, the only thing it currently monitors is toner level.

Subject: alternative Status Map?
Message-ID: <49AFF610.6070207@wpkg.org>

Are there alternative Status Maps for Nagios?

Current implementation has at least these limitations:

1. With lots of monitored hosts, the map becomes unreadable / does not 
fit on the screen.

The ideal would be if status map allowed to draw selected host groups 
only (right now, it allows host group selection, but the whole map with 
all hosts is rendered anyway; not selected hosts won't have 
icons/descriptions, but it doesn't help much with readability)


2. All nagios users can see the whole network structure for all hosts.

Even if a given web user is not authorised to view certain hosts, he/she 
will see them anyway on the status map (without icons/descriptions).
It can be even viewed as a security flaw.


Is the only solution compiling and running several nagios instances?

Subject: check_ping for service and host explanation
Message-ID: <6db4a4200903050800r46d5207cjbb90940ad4f4e235@mail.gmail.com>

All,
   I need some clarification about Nagios host and service check
relationship.  I have no dependency defined.  I have the following host and
service defintion

define host{
        name                  foo
        use                   generic-host          ; Inherit default values
        check_period          24x7
        check_interval        0
        max_check_attempts    2
        notification_period   24x7
        notification_interval 10
        notification_enabled 0
        check_command      check_host_alive
}



define  service {
        use                     basic-service
        hostname          foo
        service_description     ping
        servicegroups           named
        check_command           check-host-alive

}


if you look above, I have both service and host check_command is the same
check ("check_host_alive").  Now host is not checking on regular time
interval because I have the check_interval is set to "0".  Lets say the
service check fails,  at this point would nagios perform on demand host
check?   Also would nagios show host status as down and service status as
critical?  Please advise on this.  Thanks

Yes.

Yes.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/hostchecks.html kind of lays it  
out but the first two paragraphs of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html 
  say it best, IMHO.

The way we do it is thus (specifically for ubuntu, YMMV)

Install libapache2-authenntlm-perm 
# apt-get install libapache2-authenntlm-perm 

Edit your apache config thus:

% <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin">
%         Include /etc/ntlm/htaccess
%         Options +ExecCGI
%         AllowOverride None
% </Directory>
% 
% Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share
% <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
%         Include /etc/ntlm/htaccess
% 
%         Options +ExecCGI
%         AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
% </Directory>

And finally create
/etc/ntlm/htaccess
Thus:
% PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthenNTLM
% AuthType ntlm,basic
% AuthName Nagios
% require valid-user
% 
% PerlAddVar ntdomain "MYDOMAIN   dc25  dc26"
% PerlAddVar ntdomain "OTHERDOMAIN   dc25  dc26"
% PerlAddVar ntdomain "THIRDDOMAIN   dc25  dc26"
% 
% PerlSetVar defaultdomain MYDOMAIN
% PerlSetVar fallbackdomain OTHERDOMAIN
% PerlSetVar splitdomainprefix 1
% PerlSetVar ntlmdebug 0

Replance "dc25" with your local domain controller, "dc26" with a backup
one, MYDOMAIN with your main domain, OTHERDOMAIN, THIRDDOMAIN, etc with
any other domains 


This does the AD authentication, and also allows machines to use
transparent passthrough authentication.

Each user will need a nagios account, unless you have a
default_user_name in your cgi.cfg (We do this)

That's true

Personally I'm not a fan of maps, very few cases I think they're useful,
however NagVis might be what you want

http://www.nagvis.org/

This kind of map could be useful for a server room
http://www.nagvis.org/sites/default/files/screenshots/nagvis-1.3-rack.pn
g

And perhaps this kind if you have a geographically spread system.

Yes, check_smtp connects to a 'remote' smtp server and verifies that  
it answers so it needs to know what IP to connect to. It doesn't need  
NRPE to do that. If this remote server answers on port 25 on an IP  
reachable from your nagios host, you could just as easily run it from  
your nagios host and probably have more reliable results. The only  
scenario where the check above makes sense is if the SMTP server only  
accepts connections from the local machine.

You can always run 'check_<plugin> --help' to see what parameters are  
required and available.

NRPE is only needed for checking things that don't expose external  
services. Things like disk space, cpu utilization, memory use, etc..  
Any network aware daemons like sendmail, postfix, apache, sshd, etc  
can generally be checked without using NRPE.

This is another one that doesn't really make sense to run through  
NRPE. check_ssh tries to connect to port 22 on a specified host (-H)  
to see if sshd is listening. You'd want to perform that test from a  
different box than sshd is running on to make sure it's listening  
publicly. Running directly from nagios is better.

define service{
         use                              generic-service
         host_name                   linux-server
         service_description       SSH
         check_command          check_ssh
         }

Assuming your check_ssh command definition looks something like --

define command {
     command_name                   check_ssh
     command_line                   $USER1$/check_ssh -t 30 -H  
$HOSTADDRESS$
     }

Thansk your reply

I have checked IPtables and other related stuff with security port  
security i found one thing when i perform snmp CPU Load plugin its  
working fine measn i have access of snmp quary for CPU oid. Then why i  
am not able to Disk monitoring via SNMP?

Notes:- I have few NFS mount point whicg is mounted at /mnt directory  
is this the problem ? might be selinux not allow to snmp query to /mnt  
filesystem. when i check my /var/log/messages file i got Access denied  
on /mnt mounted file system with snmpd error

here my logs

On your linux machine, do 'df -h' to look at the partitions.

for example, you might have the following partitions:
/
/boot
/home
/var

edit snmpd.conf at somewhere, put the following:
disk /
disk /boot
disk /home
disk /var

also, the view that you create, make sure it is not restricting you to 
certain parts of the mib tree, for example, you could try:

#           incl/excl     subtree                        mask
view all    included      .1                             80



then restart snmpd.

Note that NagVis now also has an automap feature which I confess I
don't really use, but if your network topology lends itself to that
sort of map it could save you a whole load of effort dragging icons
around the screen.

Another one well worth looking at is NExSM.  It can be a bit of a mare
to get it installed and working, but for a large network is probably
the best of the bunch.  Unlike NagVis it doesn't rely on NDOUtils
(MySQL database).  The upside of this is you don't have to install/run
a MySQL database.  The downside is that the amount of querying it does
of your Nagios server can be a bit heavy (depending on your setup).

Cheers,

Jim

Hi, Marc.

Thank you for your answer.

Do you think that just after a "HARD UP" the check number should be reset to
"1"?

I don?t think so. Look at other messages log, for the same host:


[1236260301] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;SOFT;1;Network is unreachable
[1236260361] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;UP;SOFT;2;TCP OK - 0.538 second response
time on port 135
[1236260681] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;SOFT;1;Network is unreachable
[1236260751] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;SOFT;2;Network is unreachable
[1236260821] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;SOFT;3;Network is unreachable
[1236260891] HOST ALERT: sani6as05;DOWN;HARD;4;Network is unreachable
In this example, after the "UP;SOFT;2" we had a "DOWN;SOFT;1".

That is my doubt? Someties Nagios resets the check number, sometimes it
doesn?t.

Thank you again.
Rodney.

Hi

We use dokuwiki to achieve this. It uses a textfile backend and you can 
easy set up templates for when you document new hosts.

Any wiki? You can link to it with host extended information directives.

Hi Satish,

 

Thanks, that fixed the issue. Now when I run a make I get the following error message..

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'
Current working directory /temp/nagios-plugins-1.4.13
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all'
 

 

When I run "make install" I get the following error message.......any idea what needs to be done to take care of this...

 

if test "$dot_seen" = "no"; then \
  make  "$target-am" || exit 1; \
fi; test -z "$fail"
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive'
bash-3.00#
 

 

Thanks,

Jafar

Message-ID: <6db4a4200903051130t37f1435bs9c6b2f6acdd9a08d@mail.gmail.com>

All,
    I have noticed very slow responds from nagios service alert history
page.  I have disabled network connectivity from a ups.  The ping service
status page shows critical.  I do a forced reschedule which shows up in the
nagios.log file.  I enable network connectivity again on the ups.  I
rescheduled another forced check.  It shows up on nagios.log.   Upon 1
minute the service status shows "OK" in status.dat file.  However the web
interface keep on showing service status as critical for next 9 minutes.  Is
this a bug?  I am running nagios-3.0.6 on RHEL 5 86_64 machine without any
load issue?  Please advise on this.  Thanks.

Cordially,
Shadhin Rahman

The plugins are distributed separately but available at www.nagios.org.

Subject: Bulk Disable of Event Handlers?
Message-ID: <C5D582BA.1001A6%jhorowitz@looksmart.com>

I finally took the plunge and set up event handlers on a set of our
webservers.  It?s great because it restarts the web service automatically
when there is an issue.  The problem is, we can?t take them down for
maintenance without Nagios restarting them.  I know I can disable the event
handlers across the entire nagios system via the ?Tactical? view.  Is there
any way to do it across a service group through the web interface?

Either through the web or through a command line script would be great.

If not, I?ll probably write/post my own.

Thanks,

Well, I threw together a (very) quick shell script for this purpose  
that I am using here. Basically just checks the status SNMP entry of  
our ricohs, and returns a status code depending on that as well as  
whatever status text SNMP gives. It is NOT polished, and will probably  
break if you look at it wrong, but it works for us. If anyone wants  
it, let me know.

Subject: migration from nagios2 => nagios3 ;
	host name definition
Message-ID: <bbc707b90903051431r58b52a09o70a9a22a464b39d1@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

The first question is, what is the meaning of directive  *name*  in host
definition? The document says there is no such thing, only *host_name* but
if put name there nagios (both 2 and 3 does not complain)

Longer explanation follows.

When using nagios config version 2 in nagios3 I have some errors. Looking at
the config of version 2 I see:

define host{
  name      standard-host
  use     generic-host    ; Name of host template to use
  register    0       ; Template - don't register
  host_name   not-defined
  alias     not-defined
  check_command   check-host-alive
  contact_groups pager
  notification_period 24x7
  }


define host{
        name                    virtual-host
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
template
to use
        register                0                       ; Template - don't
regis
ter
        host_name               not-defined
        alias                   not-defined
        check_command           check-host-alive
        contact_groups          pager
        notification_period     workhours
}


It worked with nagios2 ; nagios3 Warning: Duplicate definition found for
host 'not-defined'
and then error  Could not add object property at line point to host_name
not-defined.

I changed the value of host_name to be uniques such as not-defined0,
not-defined1 and it stop complaining. But I do not know what nagios3
understand that in case name  and host_name are both defined in host
definition?


Many thanks in advance

You can put the services in a service group and schedule downtime for
all services in that group.

"name" is used to identify a template. You can use templates to 
implement hosts by using "use".

Does scheduled downtime stop event handlers?  I didn't think it did.

Thanks, it is in different section of the doc, and I am looking at host
definition.

So I reckon, the host_name on these template definition does not take any
effect?

Cheers

I guess solaris use gmake command to compile package, please send full error mesg or send file 

make > /tmp/make.log

so we can find pin point. keep in mind when ever you compile source on Linux you should validate all development packages are installed or not. compile header file few libararys thats reqired for compilation.

  Hi Satish,
   
  Thanks, that fixed the issue. Now when I run a make I get the following error message..


  make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'

  Current working directory /temp/nagios-plugins-1.4.13

  *** Error code 1

  make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all'

   
   
  When I run "make install" I get the following error message.......any idea what needs to be done to take care of this...
   

  if test "$dot_seen" = "no"; then \

    make  "$target-am" || exit 1; \

  fi; test -z "$fail"

  make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive'

  Hi,

  I am very new to Nagios but am trying to convince my company that Nagios is the way to go instead of our current monitoring application that we pay a lot for and is VERY basic.  I have a series of items that I need to get Nagios to do so I am excited to be learning it and will probably frequent this list.

  To start with, how do I specify to watch a service in Windows?  For example, I want to watch the Backup Exec remote agent on a series of servers and be paged if for some reason it is not started.  Do I need an add on for this or can I simply specify it in the Windows Cfg file?

  Thanks.

  Kevin

Hi All,

Is anybody using NAGIOS to monitor Solaris systems using the default
SNMPDX that comes with the Solaris systems? If yes, can I have your
configuration of the snmpdx for the commonly mentioned performance
parameters such as RAM utilization, CPU utilization, Disk utilization
(the relevant MIBs and how it's configured in the snmpdx config file).

I want to monitor some Solaris systems without installing any new
software on them (Solaris 9 and 10).

Thanks.

Many users assume that people aready are familiar with the little steps,

I agree that it is nice to see some real life examples spelled out some
times.

Personally I always recomed people new to Nagios to keep All the Config
Files
under some kind of source control. (CVS or some other system)

If the implication there is that veteran nagios users don't need to
keep configs under source control, then I disagree :-)

Hi,

 

That is exactly what I am trying to do. Monitor Solaris 10 Disk and CPU utilization. Could you let me know how to do that.

Thanks,

Syed Jafar

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Solaris systems with default snmpdx





Hi All,
Is anybody using NAGIOS to monitor Solaris systems using the default SNMPDX that comes with the Solaris systems? If yes, can I have your configuration of the snmpdx for the commonly mentioned performance parameters such as RAM utilization, CPU utilization, Disk utilization (the relevant MIBs and how it?s configured in the snmpdx config file).
I want to monitor some Solaris systems without installing any new software on them (Solaris 9 and 10).
Thanks.

Message-ID: <6db4a4200903052227k141919c4ubf50fbcb02aad59e@mail.gmail.com>

Is there anyway to configure nagios so that particular servicegroup only
members of a particuar group can execute service command and host commands.
However anyone can view them.  I know there is the following to cgi
parameter but they are for global nagios access.

authorized_for_all_service_commands
authorized_for_all_host_commands

Cordially,

You're right, but your check_disk plugin seems to be giving you wrong
results.  I wonder is it something peculiar to whichever
operating-system you are using?

I just tried it here on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server and got these results
(which I believe are fine):

$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /
DISK OK - free space: / 25541 MB (81% inode=97%);| /=5741MB;26353;29647;0;32942

$ df -h /
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              33G  5.7G   25G  19% /

You could also check your command definition to make sure there's
nothing silly in there, but I presume you're using the default from
your original install which should normally work fine.

Cheers,

Jim

That's true.
But if I want to give access to given hostgroups to a few people, they 
should not see the map for the whole infrastructure monitored by nagios.

Once, it may confuse them, two, there is no reason why they should see 
everything (even without hostnames, it unnecessarily outlines the scale 
of the whole infrastructure).


So, maybe the simplest solution would be to entirely disable status map 
for these users?

Any obvious way to do it (other then removing statusmap.cgi file?)

Subject: event handlers - remounting smb shares
Message-ID: <200903061023.05952.assaf.flatto@ssp-intl.com>

Hello List 

I am having an issue with trying to implement event handlers . 

Let me explain the background first : 
We have a several servers that are rebooted every weekend and one of them is a file server with 
several exported mount points to other servers . 
After the reboots one of the machines is unable to recover the mount points ( could be cause we are 
still using smbfs and not cifs )  and we need to manually remount those filesystems .

I wanted to implement an event handler to remount the "stuck" mount points after the reboot is 
complete ,( doing a "mount -f -a " is not an option ) , the problem i am facing is - how do i pass 
the mount point to the event handler ? 
is it at all possible ?

the output from the command is as follows ;
the error :
[1235783450] Warning: The check of service 'sapmnt_PX1 disk space' on host 'host' looks like it was 
orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check of the service...

what is should be  :
DISK OK - free space: /public_data/PR1/interfaces/incoming/Lynx/UK/srf_mount 88720 MB 
(16%);| /public_data/PR1/interfaces/incoming/Lynx/UK/srf_mount=483424MB;572124;572134;0;572144

Anyone ever done something like this ? 
Any Ideas ?

Hi everyone,

Sorry if that questions was already answered but I browsed the web for a while and  didn't find a clear answer (and I now this looks like a newbie question).

I had installed Nagios on a server I used to run some tests and now I have validate my developments I have to transfer Nagios from this server to a production one. Till then, there is no problem...

Unfortunately, I had to run some hosts and services' checks and I want to keep these results on the new server. Should I only copy the old log files to the new installation or do I need to do something else ? I understood the checks' history are only kept in the log files so I imagine all I have to do is some copy but will my new Nagios look at them as its own log files?

Thanks in advance

Marc-Andr?

Wow!  That made a huge difference!  I simply added a file "nagios.cnf"
under /etc/mysql/conf.d like so:

  [mysqld]
  innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2

and it reduced my Nagios startup time from more than 3 minutes to only
30 seconds!

I already had quite a few of the data_processing_options disabled in
ndomod.cfg and had reduced all of the max_*_age parameters in
ndo2db.cfg to 24 hours (before those my startup time was more than 5
minutes).

Many thanks indeed!

Cheers,

Jim

You only need var/archives/* assuming your hosts and services are  
named exactly the same on the new machine (i.e. you're using the  
config files from the old machine).

Subject: Problems getting data from remote host with nrpe
Message-ID: <EF37A6C236BDAC4C9D8F3E5BAEC3722D01361E39@ibetpex03.bias2000.bettis.gov>

Good morning folks!
 
I am trying to get my Nagios 3.0.4 configuration setup with NRPE to
remotely monitor the status of a process on my remote systems. I
followed the configuration for NRPE on both the Nagios server and the
remote system and have it very close but am stumbling over the final
piece.  I have the remote system able to work with the nrpe daemon and
that is all good. When I try to do a simple check_nrpe from my Nagios
server I am getting:
 
CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from host.
 
I tried to telnet to the port on the remote system and was successful
(telnet remotehost 5666). This means it can't be a firewall issue or any
problem with routing. The log on the remote system shows the nrpe daemon
starting up and exiting on the completion of the check.
 
I know this must be something very simple that I am missing. Can someone
point me to something that can help me resolve this issue?
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Larry

How do you check your systems remotely?

search the nagiosexchange for something called 'rexec'  it is an event
handler that I wrote that executes commands remotely using ssh or
NRPE.

If using NRPE a script to run your mount should be written and added
to your nrpe.cfg command list.


if this is local, write a script do perform your mount, define it as a
command inside nagios, and select the defined command as the event
handler.

Message-ID: <49B13043.2040709@osiatis.es>

Hello Kevin,
You dont really need to instal NSClient, you can monitor using SNMP.
Its much easier because you wont need to install any Agent, just enable 
the SNMP service.
I also monitor BackupExec and many other services in this way.
I use the plugins
check_snmp_win.pl -H <HOSTADDRESS>  -C <Community> -t 45 -n "Microsoft 
ISA Server Control"
note the service name has to be same as Display name, not the short name.
You can find the plugin in nagiosexchange.com site.If you need help 
defining a services and a command first look into nagios documentation.

cheers,

Hello Kyle 

You missed my point - i think .

Doing checks on the remote machine is not a problem , i am doing so via NRPE and with no problems .
My issue is  - how do i make it dynamic - and not a different  script for each mount point .

I want it to be a single script that when i pass the arguments to the event handler over the nrpe , 
i add the failed mount point as an argument .

I took a look at rexec , but i am still in the same problem - how do i get the mount point 
extracted - figured from the output and pass it to the remount event handler ?

Assaf

Subject: Scheduling Queue
Message-ID: <3014.10.0.1.62.1236350431.squirrel@mail.mailtower.de>

Hi List,
i'm new here and have a curious problem with the scheduler.
Sometimes it happens that a number of jobs doesnt get checked
anymore, the State Information shows for example:

Next Scheduled Check:  	04-03-2010 22:24:54
Last State Change:	29-12-2008 17:23:15
Last Update:	06-03-2009 15:21:48  ( 0d 0h 0m 7s ago)

The next scheduled check is for sudden 1 Year later! the jobs are supposed
to get checked all 15 minutes, when i run a reschedule of the service then
the schedule check comes back normal.

I've found a event log entry which matches the time when this happens:

"Warning: A system time change of 0d 0h 0m 1s (backwards in time) has been
detected. Compensating..."

I believe that the ntp daemon changed the time which is quite normal?

Does anybody have a idea ?

Many thanks
Matthias

Did you permit the host in nrpe.cfg allowed_hosts? NRPE should be  
logging something in messages/syslog. If not, you can enable debug  
mode and see what's going on.

Subject: Using '!' in check_* argument
Message-ID: <250769952.1534911236351249517.JavaMail.root@zimbra16-e3.priv.proxad.net>

Hi all,

I'm monitoring through my Nagios some web pages which need authentication. For some reasons, some passwords use the character '!', the delimiter between the check commands' arguments. So the '!' in the passwords aren't seen as a character but as a delimiter, wich make the password false and create some false arguments.

Is there a way to use '!' in arguments ? I tried by escaping it with a '\', quoting it... Nothing worked.

Thanks in advance.

Marc-Andr?

write the logic into the event handler script.


pass the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ to the event handler

have the event handler check if the appropriate moutpoint has returned
the desired (or undesired) error

if condition mount
else echo wrong mount failure dont do anything.

What version of nagios are  you using? New in 3.x --

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

"TipTip: If you need to pass bang (!) characters in your command  
arguments, you can do so by escaping them with a backslash (\). If you  
need to include backslashes in your command arguments, they should  
also be escaped with a backslash. "

I do have the host enabled in the config file. How do I enable debugging
for nrpe?

You can use the resource.cfg file to store credentials, which is a
secured file.  Credentials can then be passed as variables to service
definitions such as $PASSWORD1$ and it will pull the actual password
string from the secured resource file.

Subject: Create hidden hostgroups, many machines in a group,
 a few of them slightly different
Message-ID: <49B15D04.7060004@christiananton.de>

Hello everybody.

I am maintaining and redesigning a quite large Nagios installation in a
mixed environment. The boxes we are monitoring are firewalls, servers,
proxies, loadbalancers, ... a lot of stuff.

As we have different groups of admins which administer different systems
we had host groups like for example "Frontent-Proxies",
"Application-Firewalls" and so on and the mapping to the responsible
users so that a antivirus administrator does not have to see a broken
firewall module.

The problem is using these groups also for managing the service-to-host
mapping in an easy manner. So for example we have 20 firewalls in
"Application-Firewalls", they are the same machines, BUT 8 of them must
use a different SNMP port or another additional service checks or need
different warning/critical thresholds because of higher load. Managing
this in a per-host-manner in services config file is hard work.

My idea was to make something like "organinizational" and "functional"
subgroups of them, so for example:

Application-Firewalls
|
+--Application-Firewalls_special1
|  |
|  +-- host1
|  +-- host2
|  +-- ...
|
+--Application-Firewalls_special2
   |
   +-- host3
   |
   +-- host4

The problem is that all users which are able to view all the hosts
included in all the subgroups of "Application-Firewalls" see _all_ the
subgroups in host overview. Even more difficult is the following szenario:

Firewalls (for overview fw-admins)
|
+--checkpoint1
+--checkpoint2
+--about 20 more machines

Firewalls_with_multicast_routing
|
+--checkpoint1
+--other machines

Now the machines appear twice in the host overview.

I am sure that administrators of larger installations have already
thought about this and maybe you have a few good ideas for me?

How do you manage a lot of machines with slightly different checking to
group them in the same hostgroups anyways?


I hope you understood what i wanted to say ;-)

Best regards

Christian

I'm using Nagios 3.0.6 on a CentOS 5.2

I tryed escaping the (!) with  a (\) but it didn't work. I forgot to tell
(and I've just realized it is probably important) I use NagiosQL to create
the service. Is it possible that NagiosQL didn't escape the (! ) but the (\)
when he writes the cfg file ?

Macr-Andr?

Yes, check_smtp connects to a 'remote' smtp server and verifies that  
it answers so it needs to know what IP to connect to. It doesn't need  
NRPE to do that. If this remote server answers on port 25 on an IP  
reachable from your nagios host, you could just as easily run it from  
your nagios host and probably have more reliable results. The only  
scenario where the check above makes sense is if the SMTP server only  
accepts connections from the local machine.

You can always run 'check_<plugin> --help' to see what parameters are  
required and available.

NRPE is only needed for checking things that don't expose external  
services. Things like disk space, cpu utilization, memory use, etc..  
Any network aware daemons like sendmail, postfix, apache, sshd, etc  
can generally be checked without using NRPE.

This is another one that doesn't really make sense to run through  
NRPE. check_ssh tries to connect to port 22 on a specified host (-H)  
to see if sshd is listening. You'd want to perform that test from a  
different box than sshd is running on to make sure it's listening  
publicly. Running directly from nagios is better.

define service{
         use                              generic-service
         host_name                   linux-server
         service_description       SSH
         check_command          check_ssh
         }

Assuming your check_ssh command definition looks something like --

define command {
     command_name                   check_ssh
     command_line                   $USER1$/check_ssh -t 30 -H  
$HOSTADDRESS$
     }

Also the 2d map as it is now looks pretty cool but I have some icons for my

they at least stop running together?

Look at the actual config file generated. You may need to escape the \

There's no real migration. Nagios itself will continue to rely on it's  
normal config files and log files. NDOUtils is just a way to store  
that data in a DB for access by other applications. By specifying the  
ndo module (and it's options), nagios will just start sending the data  
you specify there as well.

It appears you are missing mysql-devel pkg, or whatever it is named on

Try the auto map in NagVis http://www.nagvis.org/ or NExSM

Since these are templates (register 0) you should just leave host_name
and alias undefined (remove the lines). You'll have to define them
anyway when you use the template.

Seems like this is a bug, though a very minor one.

Subject: NRPE: Unable to Read Output???
Message-ID: <39E8DC21C2AFC6499180B85A6154000503D04138@34093-C3-EVS3.exchange.rackspace.com>

Hi there, 

I'm having issues when trying to check a plugin via NRPE...

 

Whenever I run the check command, NRPE returns:

Unable to read output.

 

I'm lost... 

The file permissions are correct, it's executable and owned by the
Nagios user... 

The script runs fine locally.

I have double and triple checked the command definition, and that's
fine... 

 

For reference, here's some output.

Sample command and result:

nagios]$ libexec/check_oracle.pl -db FSRPRD02 -ch r -w 900 -c 1800

OK: FSRPRD02 Replication is currently 9 seconds behind
Live|Replication=9s;900;1800

 

NRPE command is defined as:

command[check_oracle]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle.pl -ch
$ARG1$ -db $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$

 

Permissions on check_oracle.pl are:

nagios]$ ls -l libexec/check_oracle.pl

-rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 4371 Mar  6 19:38 libexec/check_oracle.pl

 

NRPE Check command and result is:

libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H fsr-act-db01 -c check_oracle -a r FSRPRD02 900
1800

NRPE: Unable to read output

 

I've restarted NRPE dozens of times, and enabled debugging... however
nothing useful shows up in /var/log/messages... 

 

Anybody have any ideas???

 

Cheers

Gavin

Change this to the following to capture STDERR; you'll probably see  
something useful. I'm going to bet it's an oracle environment issue.  
It's come up before and the archives can probably provide further  
insight (I don't have experience with it beyond this list).

command[check_oracle]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle.pl -ch  
$ARG1$ -db $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ 2>&1

Sorry for the misinformation. I would expect that if a service is
scheduled to be down, a script which is designed to make sure it's
still up would be disabled for that period. Or is it that event
handlers are too generic and there could be a situation where you
would want event handlers to continue for a down host?

This is most likely because your mysql was compiled with sun cc with
non-gcc compiler flags. Two options here:

1. If you don't need check_mysql*, just configure with "--without-mysql"

This is most likely because your mysql was compiled with sun cc with
non-gcc compiler flags. Two options here:

1. If you don't need check_mysql*, just configure with "--without-mysql"

2. If you need mysql checks, edit plugins/Makefile, look for MYSQLCFLAGS
and remove any non-gcc flag there.

It appears you are missing mysql-devel pkg, or whatever it is named on

Hello
 
Im running nagios 3.06
 
I have a host that needs to have 2 people in the notifications.
 
The notification for the 2 people should ONLY be sent out during work hours.  (mon-fri 9:00-17:00)
 
The problem is that the 2 people are in different world timezones
 
How do I configure nagios so it can handle this difference in timezones for the notification for the same host
 
I dont want to run several instances of nagios   I need everything in one web interface at the end
 
 
Also is there a maximum to how many hosts and / or services that can be monitored by nagios
 
Many thanks
 
Nick

Hi all,

I am using nagios for my router and switch monitoring. I also have Cyberoam UTM in my network. it supports readonly SNMP. Cyberoam guys provided me MIB for UTM and it is working with windows PC. I tried to configure it on nagios but failed.

Please help me to configure it step by step.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if there is a better way to do this but what comes to  
mind first is to just create two different timeperiods and assign them  
to each contact. Assume one person and the nagios server are in CST  
and someone else is UTC --

define timeperiod{
	name			workhours-cst
	timeperiod_name		workhours-cst
	monday			09:00-17:00
	tuesday			09:00-17:00
	wednesday		09:00-17:00
	thursday		09:00-17:00
	friday			09:00-17:00
	}

define timeperiod{
	name			workhours-utc
	timeperiod_name		workhours-utc
	monday			14:00-22:00
	tuesday			14:00-22:00
	wednesday		14:00-22:00
	thursday		14:00-22:00
	friday			14:00-22:00
	}

You'd have to change the UTC guy 2x a year to deal with DST time  
changes if you honor that in your timezone. There are much more  
complex time definitions you could create that could deal with DST if  
you wanted.

> Also is there a maximum to how many hosts and / or services that can

Depends a lot on hardware you're running it on and the types of checks  
you are using. You'll hit some points where you'll probably need to  
change your way of doing things (i.e. at ~10,000 active checks you  
might need to start looking at moving those to passive checks), etc.  
There are others on the list running instances with many 10's of  
thousands of checks that might be able to offer insight into those  
kinds of things. If you expect to grow large, I'd recommend starting  
out with a simple distributed setup and expand as needed.

(pre-requisites)
. read the nagios documentation
. examine the config files you are already using.
. identify the MIB you want to monitor.
. re-read the nagios documentation
. read the check_snmp help (/path/to/plugins/check_snmp --help)

(actual addition to nagios)
. create a command{} definition to monitor that MIB using check_snmp
. create a host{} definition for the device
. create a service{} definition for that MIB, using the check_command  
you created above and referencing the host_name above
. reload nagios
. ...
. Profit!

I need an explain on how to exactly set the hosts dependencies, If I got a
server linked to switch and that switch linked to a router, do I have to set
the server to be a host dependent of the router or just for the switch?

If the switch fails nagios won?t alert me about the server but only for the
switch, isn?t it? To work like that what option of notification should I
configure?

Thanks

Normally you should use parent relationships instead of host dependencies.

See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/networkreachability.html

That is one way of doing it, means changing 2 times per year for DST.


Is there a nagios "wish list" I can send this to and maybe in a future
version this can be programmed in.

Many thanks

Hi All!

Is there any way of specifying the order in which notifications are sent
to contacts. We send out SMSs to several addresses one of which should
always be the first. This contact is first in the list in the
contactgroup and first in the contact file, but still is not the first
one to which the SMS is sent. Is there anyway of defining this?

Jim,

I already have configured the parent relationship, and for visualization
(status map), the network structure is exactly what it is. I do now that the
host dependency works for notify exactly where the problem is, that's the
reason, I send the last message to get some help on how to set it.

I do appreciate your help.

All,
   Is it possible to create logout for nagios web interface.  As far as I
understand, it is just matter of resetting the $_REMOTE_USER apache
variable.  Can someone please provide some guidance on this.  Thanks

I'm new so forgive a dumb question...
Is the resource.cfg on the monitored system or on the Nagios server?
If it is on the Nagios server, will the information be sent in plain text to the monitored system?

You can use the resource.cfg file to store credentials, which is a secured file.  Credentials can then be passed as variables to service definitions such as $PASSWORD1$ and it will pull the actual password string from the secured resource file.

Peter.

As Jim indicated, parenting does this better.

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

If your switch fails, it's children will be identified as UNREACHABLE  
instead of DOWN. If you don't want notifications for those children,  
don't specify unreachable as a wanted notification_option. Are you  
seeing this behavior when the switch goes down?

This is a general .htaccess issue. Generally speaking, you need to set  
up another .htaccess protected directory, _in the same realm_ and  
provide a link to that protected directory with a valid login passed  
within the link. The Goog provides many examples.

Nagios server.

> text to the monitored system?

Depends on your use. If you're using check_by_ssh or NRPE with SSL,  
then no, the transport between the nagios server and the remote server  
would be encrypted.

If you need a more specific answers, provide more specific information/ 
scenarios.

Richard,
    resource.cfg is on nagios server.  I have implemented as Peter suggested
with resource.cfg and it works fine for me.

Nagios server.

Depends on your use. If you're using check_by_ssh or NRPE with SSL,  
then no, the transport between the nagios server and the remote server  
would be encrypted.

If you need a more specific answers, provide more specific information/ 
scenarios.

Subject: Nagios, memory tests, and Linux hosts...
Message-ID: <49B53351.202@gmail.com>

So along with disk and CPU tests, I want to test for memory usage. I 
pulled a perl memory script off Nagios Exchange and was quickly reminded 
of how linux handles memory... how it leaves whatever has been used 
previously as "reserved". Thus, a server with 4Gb of RAM may show that 
3.95Gb is in use, but in reality, more like 512Mb is in use and the swap 
usage is under 10%, if used at all, confirming the "actual versus 
reserved" issue. So how are you guys testing for memory on Linux boxes 
that flag it as reserved when its not? Are there any scripts on Nagios 
Exchange for memory testing that are better than others?

ping use ?ping?

	and

fping use ?fping? to do the task

Use ping if it's work for you. For example if you using nagios in a jail
(freebsd) it's more easy to use fping insted ping

Subject: Strange thing about boot
Message-ID: <20090309155058.GF72351@obspm.fr>

Hi all

I've some problem with one nrpe-plugin write by...me.

In this plugin I check with md5 the output of some command (in fact a check
of the status of my raid card). 

My plugin is launch by nrpe 

	check_md5 -f command_with_path -checksum XXXXX

if the

	if command_with_path |md5sum = XXXX 

		return everything is OK

	else 
		return NO-OK


This plugin work fine until...I reboot the server. 

After each reboot the nagios server tell me the checksum is wrong, but if I
launch the plugin manually it's working. But if I launch it from
nagios-server I've got NOOK.

But If I restart nrpe...everything working...until next reboot. 

Anyone have a idea ? 

Regards 

JAS

NB: Nagios server : 3.0.6 run on FreeBSD 7.1
    nrpe-2.12 on FreeBSD 7.1

I use check_memory.pl. It properly takes buffers and cache into 
consideration (using the "free" command).

That's on the map for 1.2.  The first thing to determine is, what is
the best way to handle distributed environments properly.  Do we have
a single master with multiple slave monitoring servers?  How do most
people do distributed monitoring?

Subject: Adding hosts to new installation
Message-ID: <586806120903090933l2ca5898ew7ef4561be0e19ba2@mail.gmail.com>

I'm pretty new at this. I just installed Nagios 3.X on Ubuntu 8.10. I have
my first host (Cisco 6509) being polled. The quick start guide worked fine
and I followed the instructions on monitoring routers and switches. However
how do I get Nagios to monitor other switches? Do I just keep adding lines
to the switch.cfg template?

Hello 

you might want to take a look here 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/config.html

read the way nagios is configured and you'll understand how to add hosts and services.

Looks good, but no performance data, which I would like to be able to 
trend memory usage and justify upgrades. Anyone familiar with a good 
memory test that properly handles memory reservations AND also includes 
performance trending data?

You'll need to call the check_http script with the -u option. The 
default "check_http" command doesn't do this, so you'll have to create a 
new one. Since you're also querying a custom port, you'll need to pass 
that info along too. Something like this is one way to do it:


define command {
    command_name    check_http_path
    command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H '$ARG1$' -u 
'$ARG2$' -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
}

define service {
    use generic-service ; Inherit default values from a template
    host_name remotehost
    service_description HTTP
    check_command check_http_path!172.168.1.1:82 
<http://172.168.1.1:82/xap/murl2?language=en>!/xap/murl2?language=en 
<http://172.168.1.1:82/xap/murl2?language=en>!25!50
}

I personally only use Nagios for monitoring services, not trending or 
graphs. For that I use Cacti and SNMP (http://www.cacti.net/).

Agh.. stupid Thunderbird. It should look like this:

define service {
    use generic-service ; Inherit default values from a template
    host_name remotehost
    service_description HTTP
    check_command check_http_path!172.168.1.1:82!/xap/murl2?language=en!25!50

This is the time it took to actually run the last check, not the
duration between checks.

You'll soon recognize the usual suspects.

normal_check_interval.

Subject: how to generate an availability report for a
	specific service on a whole hostgroup.
Message-ID: <c4d69730903091457j7ccb96bav59c1bc348882a2b2@mail.gmail.com>

I cannot figure out what is the best way to generate (if at all
possible) this kind of a report in Nagios:

For a specific service ("ssh") list all the nodes in a hostgroup that
had a status other than "normal" in the last year (say). I can get a
trend for a service on a specific host. But how do I get this report
for an entire hostgroup+service combination?

Any tips?

Per the Nagios Exchange site, NagiosWeb only supports up to Nagios 2.x. 
It also hasn't been updated since 2006. If you're going to do a new 
Nagios install, you should be on 3.x.

If you're going to try one, you're probably best off with NagMin, but 
realistically, unless you're going to make changes in the web frontend, 
then crawl your server for what's changed and diff it, you aren't likely 
to learn it. I just migrated from BB to Nagios following Wolfgang 
Barth's "Nagios 2nd Edition" and its been really helpful to understand 
the file structures and command-line, especially if you want to extend 
Nagios with trending, etc. So this is where I politely say "suck it up 
and read the manual... or at least a good book about it". :)

Of course, a few years of experience as a UNIX/Linux admin won't hurt 
either...

No, unfortunately it is not that easy. The problem is really not a 
Nagios problem, but an HTTP authentication problem. Nagios uses HTTP 
authentication, and that means that the user name and password are sent 
with every single request. So when you try to reset this variable, it 
will get set right back to what it was the next time the user requests a 
page.

HTTP authentication did not envision ever logging out; that is one of 
the reasons why most Web sites today use Web forms and session-based 
logins instead. I think there are tricks around this problem with HTTP 
Auth, though.

Do I understand right that the check_http works without problems (prints
OK) but nagios claims that the host is down?
You need to change the check_host command for this host to something
that gives you a clear knowledge about the host. Or you do not monitor
the host itself and change the check_host command to some dummy.

You need any way to connect to the server. (preferably nrpe or ssh)

Hello friends,
First of all thanks for ur immense support..
But im making some mistake,I get this error from nagios webpage

  Current Status:   CRITICAL
 (for 0d 0h 42m 23s) Status Information: (Return code of 127 is out of
bounds - plugin may be missing)

My command.cfg is as follows

# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }
# 'check_http_path'
define command {
  command_name    check_http_path
  command_line    check_http -H '$ARG1$' -u '$ARG2$' -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$
}

i've the check_http plugin at  /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http (with
chown nagios.nagios)

Should I change the commandline as it is just IP?
Thanks,
Harry

we are doing the same thing

1 active 1 stand-by masters
6 active 6 stand-by slaves

slaves feed  alerts to master

some slaves act somewhat independently from the master, that is they
manage notifications/downtime

some are satellites and the master is used.

our slaves are primarily used to provide presence in our remote data
centres, but we also use them in our larger data centres where a
single nagios instance cannot process the required number of service
checks.

Subject: Best options for monitoring Windows servers
Message-ID: <49B680CA.3010201@gmail.com>

I'm a UNIX and network guy, but since Nagios is my task, I also have to 
add the Windows servers to Nagios. The network tests are fine, but I'm 
curious which is the best solution for monitoring local items on a 
Windows server (2000, 2003, and 2008).

Here's what I think the options are:

Use check_nt with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Net
Use check_nrpe with NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NRPE_NT
Use check_ncnet with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Ne
Use NSCA-Daemon with NC_Net

Note: I'm interested in screwing with WMI...

NSClient appears to be old, but stable and well known. However I see it 
has good support for NT4 and 2000 and 2003 R1, but not 2003 R2 and I 
don't see anything about 2008 Server.

NC_Net looks current and well developed.

NSClient++ seems to have NSClient compatibility, but is more current and 
supports NT4 thru 2008.

It looks like I already have check_nt as part of a default 3.x installation.

NRPE_NT also seems to have been around for a bit and stable.

NSClient++ seems to have its own, native NRPE support.

What are your opinions of the best combination to A) get the best 
overall support and B) have the least impact/installation on a Windows 
server? I want something current and currently developed with 2008 
support, but I also want stability and the least work possible. 
Presently I'm using NRPE for my local linux/UNIX servers, so I'm 
inclined to give NRPE a try, but I'd also like to avoid loading plugins 
on the Windows client if I can.

I'm leaning towards NSClient++ with check_nt, but I'm not sure this is 
the best solutions.

Thoughts, opinions, and ideas are requested...

Our implementation is pretty much right out of the Nagios documentation. The only thing that might be 'special' is that one of our slave servers is actually running two instances of Nagios; each instance is considered a 'slave' to the master.

There is a utility that is accompanying nagios called nmap2nagios

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1606.html;d=1

try that and it might help you .

But the parameter normal_check_interval is not even set in the services.cfg.
In that case does it take the default value , and if so can you please tell
me what the default value is .

Subject: Sub-groups of hostgroups
Message-ID: <49B69D9A.2040505@gmail.com>

Is it possible to do a sub-group of a hostgroup? For example, right now 
I have the following hostgroups:

linux-servers
unix-servers
mac-servers
network-devices

I'm going to be adding "windows-servers" as a hostgroup, but within this 
group I want to further subgroup both for readability and notifications. 
For example, I'd like subgroups of:

    directory-servers
    exchange-servers
    file-servers

as sub-groups of the parent "windows-servers" hostgroup.

Is this possible? If so, anyone have a working config/example they can 
share?

I compiled nagios (nagios-plugins-1.4.13)and nrpe (nrpe-2.8.1) on my new 
redhatLinux server:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)

Nrpe is runnning under Xinetd, i reviewed all config file x times and the 
post i followed is complete.


Here, i provide some outputs to show dat i made a good configuration:
netstat -at | grep nrpe
tcp 0 0 *:nrpe *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 rhl5-vm:nrpe 192.168.2.18:40265 ESTABLISHED
tcp 0 0 rhl5-vm:nrpe 192.168.2.18:40264 ESTABLISHED

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost

NRPE v2.8.1

But on nagios server CGI all checks, except ssh et snmp are criticals with 
following message:
Service Check Timed Out

A tail -f /var/log/messages on the client , shows:
Mar 10 12:04:44 rhl5-vm xinetd[9561]: START: nrpe pid=11086 
from=192.168.2.18
Mar 10 12:04:44 rhl5-vm xinetd[9561]: START: nrpe pid=11087 
from=192.168.2.18
Mar 10 12:05:44 rhl5-vm nrpe[11086]: Could not read request from client, 
bailing out...
Mar 10 12:05:44 rhl5-vm xinetd[9561]: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=11086 
duration=60(sec)

bailing out...
Mar 10 12:05:44 rhl5-vm xinetd[9561]: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=11087

If someone had already got such issue, any recommendations will be 
helpful.

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

"hostgroup_members: 	This optional directive can be used to include  
hosts from other "sub" host groups in this host group. Specify a comma- 
delimited list of short names of other host groups whose members  
should be included in this group."

Hosts can also be members of multiple hostgroups by specifying them on  
the members line of the hostgroup definitions or comma separated in  
the hostgroups parameter of the host definition.

Subject: Problem after upgrade to 3.x: Recipient $
Message-ID: <49B6AF76.8070503@cs-ol.de>

Hi all,

I recently upgraded my nagios 2.x to 3.x. Nagios' preflight-check runs fine.

For service notification i use this event handler:

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios ***** Notification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service: $SERVICEDESC$ Host: $HOSTALIAS$ Address:
$HOSTADDRESS$ State: $SERVICESTATE$ Date/Time: $LONGDATETIME$ Additional
Info: $SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service
Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

If nagios runs a "service event handler" the only recipient is '$'

nagios.log:
SERVICE ALERT: oldmz-main-01;Jira Webservice;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL -
Socket timeout after 10 seconds
[1236690758] SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: oldmz-main-01;Jira
Webservice;(null);(null);(null);notify-by-email

corresponding mail.log entry:

369EEA4246: removed

But the service entry has a valid contactgroup system.admins in which
are 4 persons with valid email addresses.

I can provide my configuration files if you need them.

Why does nagios send to '$'?

It's a Windows performance monitor counter. Basically, it is used to 
figure out how well your memory management is working.

To actually monitor it, you would probably use NSClient++ (you can also 
access it differently, but NSClient++ is the most common approach).

As far as I know, hostgroups are all at the same level, but hosts can be 
members of more than one hostgroup.  I set my host definitions up like this:

define host {
	use		prod_windows_server
	host_name	servername
	alias		serveralias
	address		w.x.y.z
	hostgroups	+FTP Servers,Web Servers
}

My prod_windows_server host template sets a hostgroup of 
windows_servers.  In the host definition here, the + adds the additional 
host groups to the host.  Without the +, the host definition's hostgroup 
setting would replace windows_servers.

Then, in my services.cfg, I assign services to hostgroups:

define service {
	use			standard_service
	name			Web_Service
	hostgroup_name		Web Servers
	service_description	Service: Web
	check_command		check_nt_service!W3SVC
}

You don't have to assign services to a hostgroup, but it's convenient 
for me to do so.

Your first warning that appears is:

"You are running an unstable version of Lilac, Unstable versions may not be
feature complete and not production, use it at you own risk"

For a complete novice like myself it proves to much of a risk to install,
the last thing I want to do is find myself 3 months backwards.

Subject: combining nagios servers
Message-ID: <BAY105-DAV21B4564894D392721DED2E3A10@phx.gbl>

Hello


I have several nagios servers on different sites all with 2 ethernet cards
1 public and 1 private IP address.

They are used to monitor services and hosts on the internal subnet I want to
keep it so the local sites can see their own nagios servers web interface.


Is there anyway I can combine the output of all the nagios servers to my
office on my nagios server.

I have a separate screen that displays the "Service Detail" web page and I
look at the top of it.

"Host and service status totals"  if everything is green I know there is no
problems throughout the whole system.

Would be nice if I could see all the nagios servers outputs on my 1 screen 


Any ideas are welcome


Many thanks

Nick

Hello,

I have Nagios monitoring about 200 services on our network, this includes various services, processes and network devices. With this, we also have NSClient++ monitoring our Windows boxes.

Currently, when a service is reported DOWN, Nagios schedules the next service check to be 10minutes after.

Is there a way to make this less? I am looking for something close to 2minutes.

Here is an example of my config..

The Service generic template is:

define service{
        name                            generic-service
        active_checks_enabled           1
        passive_checks_enabled          1
        parallelize_check               1
        obsess_over_service             1
        check_freshness                 0
        notifications_enabled           1
        event_handler_enabled           1
        flap_detection_enabled          1
        failure_prediction_enabled      1
        process_perf_data               1
        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           2
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        register                        0
}

The service config:

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        contact_groups                  custom_notifygrp_1
        host_name                       van-report
        service_description             Optimo Report Service
         check_command                  van-report_optimo
}

The check command: (NSClient++ running on the host being checked)

define command{
        command_name    van-report_optimo
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H THEHOST -s PASSWD -p PORT -v SERVICESTATE -l "OptimoReportService"
}


Based on the config above, shouldn't Nagios schedule the next service check within 2 minutes?

What controls this option?

Thanks.

Subject: Monitoring Windows hosts...
Message-ID: <49B6CEF0.80908@gmail.com>

I'm a UNIX and network guy, but since Nagios is my task, I also have to 
add the Windows servers to Nagios. The network tests are fine, but I'm 
curious which is the best solution for monitoring local items on a 
Windows server (2000, 2003, and 2008).

Here's what I think the options are:

Use check_nt with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Net
Use check_nrpe with NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NRPE_NT
Use check_ncnet with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Ne
Use NSCA-Daemon with NC_Net

Note: I'm interested in screwing with WMI...

NSClient appears to be old, but stable and well known. However I see it 
has good support for NT4 and 2000 and 2003 R1, but not 2003 R2 and I 
don't see anything about 2008 Server.

NC_Net looks current and well developed.

NSClient++ seems to have NSClient compatibility, but is more current and 
supports NT4 thru 2008.

It looks like I already have check_nt as part of a default 3.x installation.

NRPE_NT also seems to have been around for a bit and stable.

NSClient++ seems to have its own, native NRPE support.

What are your opinions of the best combination to A) get the best 
overall support and B) have the least impact/installation on a Windows 
server? I want something current and currently developed with 2008 
support, but I also want stability and the least work possible. 
Presently I'm using NRPE for my local linux/UNIX servers, so I'm 
inclined to give NRPE a try, but I'd also like to avoid loading plugins 
on the Windows client if I can.

I'm leaning towards NSClient++ with check_nt, but I'm not sure this is 
the best solutions.

Thoughts, opinions, and ideas are requested...

I see there's a WAP version built-in to Nagios, but what about phones 
that don't do WAP (ie: the iPhone)? Is there a simplied interface for 
viewing from a mobile device? I found "inagios" on Google, but the code, 
documentation, and such looks sketchy. I'm looking for something a bit 
more solid. Ideas?

Hi All,

I'm trying to setup Nagios to monitor our Dell Powervault 132T using SNMP.

I've tried using snmptrapd and snmptt to translate MIBS, but can't get it to
work in Nagios.

Has anyone tried this before? or maybe someone can show me the right way to
do it.


Thanks in advance,

Is this an implication that this worked under 2.x?

Event handlers are not meant to be used for notifications. The  
$CONTACTEMAIL$ macro isn't valid for them. If this was working under  
2.x (I have doubt it was since the macro wasn't supposed to be valid  
then either), it shouldn't have been and would have been a bug.

I found "inagios" on Google, but the code, documentation, and such looks sketchy. I'm looking for something a bit more solid. Ideas?

The WAP interface provided by nagios works fine on iPhones, as does the
full standard web interface.

Good luck!  I believe

There are worse options, but I suggest you read
http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/wiki/doc/About where the author,
Michael Medin says, amongst other things, "As for checking with
NSClient++, I would recommend NRPE as it is a lot more flexible than
check_nt."

> Thoughts, opinions, and ideas are requested...

There isn't any substitute for trying some of these solutions for
yourself and finding out what the pros & cons are.

Personally, I use NSClient++ with mostly nrpe checks but also some
check_nt checks.  On occasion I also use the nsca functionality with
NSClient++ to do passive checks.  I've also used a standalone
send_nsca (sorry can't remember which) to return results from backup
scripts and suchlike to Nagios.

If you decide to try nc_net, make sure you download and compile their
alternative check_nt which has much better support for performance
data and a few other neat features not available in the default
check_nt plugin.  See http://www.shatterit.com/nc_net/

Cheers,

Jim

To see all available performance monitors, simply open the Performance 
Monitor application (perfmon.exe) and click on the + icon. In this case, 
the performance monitor you'd want is under Memory and is called Free 
System Page Table Entries. It is one of the more commonly monitored 
counters, so you can probably google for it. If you include NSClient++ 
in your search, you'll get a lot of Nagios-specific information about it.

My TNTMonitoring agent also monitors it, BTW. You could download it and 
simply take a look at the configuration file to see how to call it (btw, 
the plugin I'm using to connect to NSClient++ is another GPL project of 
mine - basically just a port to Windows of the standard NSClient++ plugin).

Hi Patrick,

I have submitted a native iPhone Nagios App to the iPhone App Store.  
They say it takes between 30 and 60 days to get on the store.  It's  
written in Objective-C and gives very good user responsiveness, even  
with large installations. Way better than using Safari on the iPhone  
or WAP on other phones.

Here are some screen shots of the beta version:

http://www.shastasystems.com/nagiostouch.html

It works on any Nagios instance, no modifications are necessary to the  
server itself.

I'll send a message to this list when it is up on the store.

Best Regards,
Daniel.

I already read this and asked myself why nagios invokes that event handler.

My configuration is e.g:

define service {

        high_flap_threshold           0
        service_description           Jira Webservice

}


The problem is that i have the event_handler_enabled? And the
event_handler "notify_by_email" is used for notifications _and_ the
event_handler?

With 2.x i only got a notification when the service isnt available for 5
minutes. With 3.x the event_handler is executed every minute the service
isnt available.

So will it help if i disable the "event_handler_enabled"?

Regards Udo

You can use the 'Downtime' link from the main menu on the left.

There are a Lot of options

Naturally I prefer NC_NEt since I made it but it is not Ideal for all
situations,
It uses the Dot Net Framework. and Allows easy access to WMI, Event Logs,
and Custom scripts and executables. (use check_nc_net to access the help on
the individual commads in nc_net)

I would recomend you test all the agents.
and see what one you like the best,
each on had  advantages and disadvantages.

Then decide what you need to fetch from the windows servers
and if you need to Push or Pull the data from that server.

if you need to Push from Windows to Nagios,
then use NSCA  or NSCA through NC_NEt.

If you need/want to pull from Nagios initiating the commands
Start with CHeck_nt and try any of the Windows clients.
(if availible try them all check_nt syntex is the same for each.)
once installed you will see what additional commands are availible
either through the documentaiton or the help

IF windows client you like the best is missing a particular command or
means of retrieving the data you want then use NRPE to augment it.
this will allow for custom scripts and executables to retrive data or
perform work.

For most active checks check_nrpe and check_nt can be used.
since NC_NEt has a lot of additional commands built into it it has
its own version of check_nt called check_nc_net
check_nc_net contians the NC_NEt command documention through the
--help=COMMANDNAME Argument

After testing them, Post back some of your experience it may help others
choose what one is best for them.

Yes, and notify-by-email specified as the event_handler.

> event_handler?


notify_by_email isn't an eventhandler but you've appropriated it as  
one above. Event handlers are used to perform special actions like  
trying to restart a service before a notification is needed. The  
notification command that gets run is determined from the contact{}  
definition, and is not directly associated with a service. The contact  
almost certainly has notify_by_email specified as their  
service_notification_command (it's real purpose).

Yup. Event handlers are run for every retry_check_interval (1 minute  
in your case). That's one reason they're not meant to be used for  
notifications.

> So will it help if i disable the "event_handler_enabled"?

Absolutely. Someone seems to have been changed this in your config  
during the upgrade. None of this behavior has changed between (many)  
versions.

I'm new one in Nagios system. 
I work in mobile cellular operator company. And I need to know is there any chance to get notification alert via sms to my mobile phone when BSC or HLR equipments go down or stop working?
Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to sms center.

Hi,

This sure sounds promising. How are status retrieved?
Is it done by parsing the HTML output?

Yes, my iPhone Nagios App parses the output of status.cgi. For the  
iPhone it's a particularly tricky problem due to the small amount of  
memory available to applications. It's a pretty sophisticated little  
multi-threaded application that does alot of incremental concurrent  
loading and various memory management tricks to keep the footprint as  
small as possible and keep the user interface snappy even when on an  
Edge iPhone.

Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to
http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the
usual way and have them converted to SMS.  It's extremely easy to set
up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we
don't know about it!

Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server
and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your
mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can
recommend other options.

In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions
which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the
heading "Notification Methods".

hth,

Jim

I'm not familiar with the PV 132T. Does it run OpenManage Server
Administrator (OMSA)? If so, there is a wealth of Dell plugins on Nagios
Exchange that you can try. I would recommend any of these two:

  http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=2658.html;d=1
  http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=1437.html;d=1

They both use SNMP to query the OMSA software on the server.

Hi all.

 

Last night we acknowledge a warning status over a check_nt service about a
disk space controll (using nsclient++).

After approximately an hour we received another warning notification ?!?!

 

Normally the acknowledgment procedure works fine.

 

Any idea ?

 

Regards

Marco

Hello List 

i must admit - my understanding of Windows is limited , now i need to find a way to monitor network 
usage on a windows machine , i tried the snmp route and got to the understanding ( from googling 
the subject ) that the way MS is implementing SNMP is the reason why i can not get what i want ,so 
now i am trying to do the same with the COUNTER option on the check_nt  .

i have the following check ;
check_nt -H x.x.x.x -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "\\Local Area Connection\\% ","Network Useage is %.2f"
the output is :
Network Useage is 0.00 | 'Network Useage is %.2f'=0.000000%;0.000000;0.000000;

but i know that the answer is wrong as i am watching the network meter on the windows machine itself 
and see it at 25% .

I suspect that my query is wrong  - i assume the label , does anyone know what i should be using to 
get the correct query ?

Thanks

Message-ID: <8ea917510903110548p16f03dd8kb49120db9673f023@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

in my installation updates of host + services checks are mostly about 20 -
60 minutes old although I configured that checking takes place every 5
minutes (default).
in the nagios.log i find many orphaned host + service checks.
so i switched debug on. i followed a host check which completed
successfully. the check result was moved and processed. i couldn't find
anything futher to that host check. but when displaying the result in the
web gui i saw that there was still the old result which was already 20
minutes old.

What can i do?
Where can i check something?

Attached is the performance view of the installlation and it shows that
there are not that many checks within 5 minutes wheter hosts or services.

There is no cpu load or i/o load on the machine:
top - 12:47:34 up 84 days, 22:43,  1 user,  load average: 0.08, 0.06, 0.01

Hello,

DISCLAIMER!
I am (BTW) the author of NSClient++ so I am pretty biased...

I did a presenation on windows monitoring at netways nagios conference
last year where I presented my views on the various options avalible for
windows monitoring (slides can be found (in .pptx)
http://nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/conferences/nnk-2008 ) and my conclusion was
the following (see below). There is also (if you want) some more details
on the various options in the powerpoint slides (and if you want I can
email you if you cant read the ppt) this is just the ending summary.

Conclusion:
I would use either:
 * NSClient++
 * NC_NET
I would not use (unless I have a specific reason):
 * SNMP
  - Complex to use
 * NSClient
  - Old and outdated
 * NRPE_NT
  - Hard for some (simple) checks
 * OpMonAgent
  - I don?t see the benefit
 * "Agentless" WMI
  - Limited functionality

check these values in nagios.cfg. Information on what they are for is  
available in the file and docs -

max_concurrent_checks
max_service_check_spread
max_host_check_spread
aggregate_status_updates
status_update_interval

I guess some disk space was cleared and then it filled again?

Check the Alert History for that service to get a better feel for what happened.

You need to find the name of the performance counter on your Windows
server.  I'm pretty sure there isn't one called "\Local Area
Connection\%".  On your Windows system go in to Administrative Tools /
Performance and add the counter you want to look at.  Once you can see
it in the performance tool, right-click on it and click "Properties"
to see the full name of the counter which you want to monitor.

I had the same misconfiguration under 2.x, and when I went to 3.x I 
ended up making a cron job delete the nagios users's dead.letter file.

Thanks from me, too, for the explanation: I don't need that cron job 
anymore!

I did it.

In the period :
- 1st warning notification
- acknowledge notification
- 2nd warning notification

Nothing happened regarding the service status, no changes (always warning).

I see that Nagios was reloaded few minutes before the 2nd warning
notification ... normally a reload does not "delete" the acknowledge
operation ?!?!?

Marco

I guess some disk space was cleared and then it filled again?

Check the Alert History for that service to get a better feel for what
happened.

It's just a tape drive (library) with a minimal firmware.  No
OpenManage...  It's been a while since I worked with one and cannot
remember if it has SNMP capabilities.  I would use a MIB Browser and
try to dig through it's information.

Subject: NDO - where is the historical scheduleddowntime data
	stored?
Message-ID: <995380CA30455549A6B8C57CE5A47AE512794EEB01@TDCHEXBE01.int.tdch.dk>

Hi all,

We are currently trying to extract data for a SLA report from our NDO-installation.

So far we are well on our way, not at least with the help of netMySLA :)

But we are left with one question right now - where is the historical scheduleddowntime data available?

When listing events for a particular day in our report, it would be very helpful to extract as much information as to how the particular event was covered (i.e. the scheduled downtime comment always carries ID an id into our ticket tracking system, which could be used to extract further information, and so on).

Any hints?

Best regards,
Steffen

When I was using Nagios 2.7 I noticed that sometimes Nagios wouldn't
reapply the Acknowedge after a daemon restart until a few seconds
after starting up, so sometimes I would get these additional alerts
just like you describe.

I haven't seen the same issue since upgrading to Nagios 3.  I'm not
certain whether that's because it's fixed now or just that my new
config just works better than the old one.

Which version of Nagios are you using?

Cheers,

Jim

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section 
12.4.2. He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out 
what Jim pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if 
email is done, you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem 
resolve this. I have it installed and working fine. Our normal 
notifications go via email, but if a network device or email server is 
down, then notifications go via SMS.

Message-ID: <586806120903110837m3fc40fc5ia6580ac03a14e05b@mail.gmail.com>

In the course of my learning (just starting out) how to work with Nagios I
have found that it isn't aware of layer 2 connections. In other words, if I
have 2 switches with a trunk between them Nagios doesn't seem to provide me
a way to either note that manually on the map nor does it seem to be aware
of that type of connectivity. The same applies to servers, there doesn't
seem to be a way to identify which switch a server is connected to. Now I
admit this might be due to my limited knowledge of the product so I ask the
members here. Am I correct in this assessment?

Subject: Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be
	missing error
Message-ID: <7619979E76CBC04AB84FE454A060F04A018665D22373@MAILSTORE.housing.wisc.edu>

I inherited a Nagios system and I am by no means an expert in its configuration, so I apologize in advance.

What I have been seeing for the last few days is that some of the services I'm monitoring are returning the following error for every host:
(Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

Some services are performing checks just fine, but others (most importantly check_ping) give the above error.  I've tried googling this and gotten some ideas about file permissions and making sure the Nagios.cfg file points to the directory where the plugins are located, but I can't seem to get this fixed.

This all started when I was using the Fruity interface to make some host changes and upload them to Nagios, I'm not sure if something got corrupted.  The Nagios service starts up without any errors.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section
12.4.2. He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out
what Jim pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if
email is done, you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem
resolve this. I have it installed and working fine. Our normal
notifications go via email, but if a network device or email server is
down, then notifications go via SMS.

Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to
http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the
usual way and have them converted to SMS.  It's extremely easy to set
up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we
don't know about it!
 
Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server
and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your
mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can
recommend other options.
 
In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions
which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the
heading "Notification Methods".

Hello,  is it possible to have Nagios send one email notification out with
all the contacts in the to:/cc: fields?  OR is it possible to use a macro to
supply a list of ALL applicable contacts in the body of the email (maybe
something like $CONTACTGROUPMEMBERS$)?

Any help is appreciated,

Subject: showing critical problems and host downs
Message-ID: <000e0cd47c7e560e820464da4aaa@google.com>

Folks,
I am almost done with creating a NOC using Nagios as it's primary event  
issue engine. however, one of the last things I have on my task list I have  
not been able to figure out! I want to be able to show my unacknowledged  
critical problems AND unacknowledged downed hosts. I have come up with the  
below, which sows me unacknowledged critical issues from unacknowledged  
hosts, but I also want to see (on the same screen) unacknolwedged hosts  
that are down. Has anyone come up with the right combo of numbers? Or come  
up with a different way to show this? Thanks ahead of time.

A combination of the "parents", hostgroups, and escalation. I'll post my 
configs later, but once you have confirmed that SMS is setup and working 
(make sure that for every email alert, you also get an SMS alert), then 
you define your network topology and put them into hostgroups. In my 
case, I have a hostgroup of "network-core" which includes my core 
routers, firewalls, Exchange server, Exchange storage, and the switch 
connecting the Exchange system with the firewall. I then have a 
contactgroup of the SMS addresses of three key people (myself included). 
If any of those device fail, Nagios sends notification via SMS. If 
anything else fails, it goes via emails. The kewl thing is I'll often 
sleep through emails, but if I get an SMS, I know something serious 
failed and I force myself to get up...

Additionally, I tend to define a sanity check: a ping to yahoo and http 
to MSN and non-caching dns query of Google. If all sanity checks fail 
and are not resolved within 4 hours, then through escalations, an SMS is 
sent to the manager of the support team at our ISP as we likely have a 
bandwidth down issue. If sanity checks AND a core network device fail, 
my ISP doesn't get notified as we know its us...

Interesting approach, I'll have to keep that in mind.

A combination of the "parents", hostgroups, and escalation. I'll post my
configs later, but once you have confirmed that SMS is setup and working
(make sure that for every email alert, you also get an SMS alert), then
you define your network topology and put them into hostgroups. In my
case, I have a hostgroup of "network-core" which includes my core
routers, firewalls, Exchange server, Exchange storage, and the switch
connecting the Exchange system with the firewall. I then have a
contactgroup of the SMS addresses of three key people (myself included).
If any of those device fail, Nagios sends notification via SMS. If
anything else fails, it goes via emails. The kewl thing is I'll often
sleep through emails, but if I get an SMS, I know something serious
failed and I force myself to get up...

Additionally, I tend to define a sanity check: a ping to yahoo and http
to MSN and non-caching dns query of Google. If all sanity checks fail
and are not resolved within 4 hours, then through escalations, an SMS is
sent to the manager of the support team at our ISP as we likely have a
bandwidth down issue. If sanity checks AND a core network device fail,
my ISP doesn't get notified as we know its us...

I've been messing around with this, off and on (as time permits).  How
did you set up your config to go to SMS only if email fails?

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section
12.4.2. He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out
what Jim pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if
email is done, you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem
resolve this. I have it installed and working fine. Our normal
notifications go via email, but if a network device or email server is
down, then notifications go via SMS.

Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to
http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the
usual way and have them converted to SMS.  It's extremely easy to set
up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we
don't know about it!
 
Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server
and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your
mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can
recommend other options.
 
In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions
which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the
heading "Notification Methods".

Message-ID: <c4e6d5440903111010o315685e6g2ef3e863bb8c3099@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Users:

I am having touble integrating nagios with snmptt, it seems that the snmptt
daemon can not write passive check results to the
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd file. I get the following error:

"cannot create /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd: Permission denied"

The wierd thing is that I have added the "snmptt" user to the "nagcmd"
group. I can actually run the EXEC command from the console and manually
send the check results by running:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result "myhost"
"snmp_traps" 1 "My text message"

as the snmptt user. But when the snmptt tries to run it when a trap is
received I get the above error.

Any suggestions or recommendations are deeply appreciated

//Marco

My snmptt.conf file for the trap I am testing looks like:

EVENT ospfOriginateLsa .1.3.6.1.2.1.14.16.2.0.12 "Status Events" Normal
FORMAT $D. $Fn VARIABLE VALUES: $-*
EXEC /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result "myhost"
"snmp_traps" 1 "My text message" >> /tmp/OutputTest 2>&1
SDESC
...
EDESC

And my nagios configuration is correct as I can see the passive check
results in my nagios console if I run the above EXEC command from the
command line as user snmptt.

This isn't really what nagios does..  You might want to looks at something
like opsview if you want a picture of your network like that.  Also, fwiw, I
think what you're really asking for is a layer 1 map if you want to know
what host is plugged into what port - layer2 would be like what host is on a
particular broadcast domain.


I think most people give up on the nagios map pretty quickly, or at the most
setup a few partent/child hosts and leave it at that.

Agreed. Parent-child relationships are useful to get a bigger picture
of points of failure, for example if a web proxy has 5 app servers
behind it, 6 hosts will go down if that proxy fails.

I couldn't find a way around that one myself either.  I simply make
sure that every host has at least one active-check (not passive)
service.  The simplest is to make sure you ping (as a service check)
everything which wouldn't otherwise have an active service check
configured.

I tried putting two screens on one page using frames and having one
above the other, but that was less than satisfactory - if the top
frame had lots of alerts on it, the bottom frame would get shoved
below the visible screen.

There are myriad alternative front-ends for Nagios.  Maybe one of
those will do what you want it to?

Good luck,

Jim

Subject: NSClient++ and .Net
Message-ID: <49B80B29.2060908@gmail.com>

If I recall, Windows 2000 Server didn't include .Net, but you could 
install it.
Windows 2003 Server included .Net 1.x, but you could additionally add 
.Net 2.x.
Now it seems that Server 2008 includes .Net 2.x by default and you can 
install .Net 3.x, though MS finall got smart and just did one big rollup 
package so you don't have to have .Net 1.x and 2.x both installed, etc.

So my question is this: right now we're mostly Server 2003, but 
migrating to Server 2008. NSClient++ 4.x requires .Net 2.x, but will it 
work with .Net 3.x on Server 2008? Anyone know? Anyone tried?

Thanks,

--

I'm sorry if this question sounds stupid, but what are the permissions

/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd ?

Hello,

I am guessing you are a bit confused.
NSClient++ does not use .net (nor require it) perhaps you are thinking 
of NC_Net?
(also NSClient++ version are along the lines of 0.3.6 or some such, I 
dont want to bloat the version numbers so I tend to increase them 
sparingly :)

You are correct. With BB it was much easier... there was just one 
client. With Nagios I got lost in the cloud of clients and transports. 
My apologies... :)

NC_Net is the client that uses Dot Net framework.

Yes the Current version of 4.x of NC_NEt should work without issues on
Server 2008

The next Build will be using Dot Net 3.5  NC_Net v5.x
but I still am in the middle of building the new Setup project for it.
If anyones wants to test it Email me directly

A combination of the "parents", hostgroups, and escalation. I'll post
my configs later, but once you have confirmed that SMS is setup and
working (make sure that for every email alert, you also get an SMS
alert), then you define your network topology and put them into
hostgroups. In my case, I have a hostgroup of "network-core" which
includes my core routers, firewalls, Exchange server, Exchange storage,
and the switch connecting the Exchange system with the firewall. I then
have a contactgroup of the SMS addresses of three key people (myself
included). If any of those device fail, Nagios sends notification via
SMS. If anything else fails, it goes via emails. The kewl thing is I'll
often sleep through emails, but if I get an SMS, I know something
serious failed and I force myself to get up...



Additionally, I tend to define a sanity check: a ping to yahoo and http
to MSN and non-caching dns query of Google. If all sanity checks fail
and are not resolved within 4 hours, then through escalations, an SMS
is sent to the manager of the support team at our ISP as we likely have
a bandwidth down issue. If sanity checks AND a core network device
fail, my ISP doesn't get notified as we know its us...

  In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from
Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section 12.4.2. He covers
"smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out what Jim pointed
out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if email is done,
you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem resolve this. I have
it installed and working fine. Our normal notifications go via email,
but if a network device or email server is down, then notifications go
via SMS.

    I'm new one in Nagios system. 
    I work in mobile cellular operator company. And I need to know is there any 
    chance to get notification alert via sms to my mobile phone when BSC or HLR 
    equipments go down or stop working? 
    Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to 
    sms center. 
    ???  
  
   ? 
  Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to 
  http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the 
  usual way and have them converted to SMS.? It's extremely easy to set 
  up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we 
  don't know about it! 
   ? 
  Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server 
  and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your 
  mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can 
  recommend other options. 
   ? 
  In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions 
  which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.? See 
  http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the 
  heading "Notification Methods".

Subject: NSClient++ and .Net
In-Reply-To: <49B80B29.2060908@gmail.com>
References: <49B80B29.2060908@gmail.com>
Message-ID: <49B8AA08.7010508@kkeane.com>

Actually, .Net 1.1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 (and, coming soon, 4.x) 
should be installed on pretty much all well-maintained Windows XP and 
Windows 2003 systems. These versions coexist nicely.

Microsoft has been pushing them out as part of their update packages, so 
the only reason they might not be installed is that either an 
administrator specifically excluded them from installing due to some 
incompatibility (which is rare; I haven't heard of any problems), or 
hasn't been diligent about doing Windows updating in the first place. On 
all the servers I manage, I use WSUS and have these updates pushed out 
automatically. Or if you prefer, run Windows Update, and you will get 
all of these versions of .Net.

That said, for Nagios purposes, I am not very fond of using .Net. The 
reason is that it has a huge footprint - and that means, more memory, 
slower loading times, and a host of other issues. Of the plugins I use 
in TNTMonitoring, those that do use .Net are well over 1 MB *each*. 
Those that don't use it are a few dozen KB each. Obviously, I'm looking 
to replace those big plugins at some point.

It might be less severe for an agent that runs continuously than for a 
plugin that is started once.

Subject: Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may
	be missing error
In-Reply-To: <7619979E76CBC04AB84FE454A060F04A018665D22373@MAILSTORE.housing.wisc.edu>
References: <7619979E76CBC04AB84FE454A060F04A018665D22373@MAILSTORE.housing.wisc.edu>
Message-ID: <49B8B66A.3070108@kkeane.com>

Return code 127 means that Nagios wasn't able to start the plugin 
executable - as you already found out from your googling, it usually 
means that either the plugin is missing altogether, is in a different 
directory from where Nagios expects it, or that it is not executable for 
the nagios user. Note that it could also be permissions on one of the 
directories on the path to the plugin.

In most distributions I have seen, plugins are either in 
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins, or in /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins. Maybe Fruity 
somehow changed the directory from lib64 to lib or vice versa?

You say that some checks are working and some aren't. Find one of the 
plugins that works, and one that doesn't, and compare the permissions 
and file locations.

And finally, if you have turned on one of the hardening mechanisms (such 
as SELinux or AppArmor), a plugin may not be executable even with the 
right permissions.

Since you say it happened when you used Fruity, my first guess is that 
it somehow changed the directory where Nagios looks for plugins.

Why does Nagios need the NSClient to access Windows boxes when other systems
like PRTG use windows logon conditionals, think Cacti is the same also.

I made it unavalable for remote users with the following redirect placed 
in nagios' cgi-dir directory (.htaccess file):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^10\.1\.2\.
RewriteRule ^statusmap.cgi$ /cgi-bin/nagios3/tac.cgi [R=permanent,L]

You can make your very own "checks" using whatever credentials you like 
(and access any data you like).
In other words, you don't have to use generic checks shipped with nagios.

How do I add the windows credentials.

check_nt -H 192.168.1.1 -p 1248 -v INSTANCES -l Process

If I run the above it will give me a refused connection, where in the above
line would I add the username and password of the Windows box I want to
connect to?

Thanks

You're holding a hammer and want someone to explain to you how to use it
as a car. It can't be done with check_nt, but there are other programs out
there that can ask questions over WMI, and you already know of some of
them. Google should hold plenty of other resources if installing nsclient,
NCNet or nsclient++ is not an option for you, although some programming
may be necessary on your part.

Thanks for the reply made me laugh did this line.

"You're holding a hammer and want someone to explain to you how to use it as
a car"  am going to use that myself one day.

However I did get a reply saying

"You can make your very own "checks" using whatever credentials you like
(and access any data you like).
In other words, you don't have to use generic checks shipped with nagios"

This kind of implied that it can be done with Nagios.

Apologies if I misunderstood it

You're holding a hammer and want someone to explain to you how to use it as
a car. It can't be done with check_nt, but there are other programs out
there that can ask questions over WMI, and you already know of some of them.
Google should hold plenty of other resources if installing nsclient, NCNet
or nsclient++ is not an option for you, although some programming may be
necessary on your part.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror,
I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.

Maybe the output of "check_nt -h" helps you? In the notes below I read
"The NSClient service should be running on the server to get any
information (http://nsclient.ready2run.nl)", and the password can be
given by the -s param of the command line.

   Password needed for the request
 -w, --warning=INTEGER
   Threshold which will result in a warning status

   Seconds before connection attempt times out (default: 10)
 -h, --help
   Print this help screen
 -V, --version
   Print version information
 -v, --variable=STRING
   Variable to check

Valid variables are:
 CLIENTVERSION = Get the NSClient version
  If -l <version> is specified, will return warning if versions differ.
 CPULOAD =
  Average CPU load on last x minutes.
  Request a -l parameter with the following syntax:
  -l <minutes range>,<warning threshold>,<critical threshold>.
  <minute range> should be less than 24*60.
  Thresholds are percentage and up to 10 requests can be done in one shot.
  ie: -l 60,90,95,120,90,95
 UPTIME =
  Get the uptime of the machine.
  No specific parameters. No warning or critical threshold
 USEDDISKSPACE =
  Size and percentage of disk use.
  Request a -l parameter containing the drive letter only.
  Warning and critical thresholds can be specified with -w and -c.
 MEMUSE =
  Memory use.
  Warning and critical thresholds can be specified with -w and -c.
 SERVICESTATE =
  Check the state of one or several services.
  Request a -l parameters with the following syntax:
  -l <service1>,<service2>,<service3>,...
  You can specify -d SHOWALL in case you want to see working services
  in the returned string.
 PROCSTATE =
  Check if one or several process are running.
  Same syntax as SERVICESTATE.
 COUNTER =
  Check any performance counter of Windows NT/2000.
  Request a -l parameters with the following syntax:
  -l "\\<performance object>\\counter","<description>
  The <description> parameter is optional and is given to a printf
  output command which requires a float parameter.
  If <description> does not include "%%", it is used as a label.
  Some examples:
  "Paging file usage is %%.2f %%%%"
  "%%.f %%%% paging file used."
 INSTANCES =
  Check any performance counter object of Windows NT/2000.
  Syntax: check_nt -H <hostname> -p <port> -v INSTANCES -l <counter object>
  <counter object> is a Windows Perfmon Counter object (eg. Process),
  if it is two words, it should be enclosed in quotes
  The returned results will be a comma-separated list of instances on
   the selected computer for that object.
  The purpose of this is to be run from command line to determine what
instances
   are available for monitoring without having to log onto the Windows
server
    to run Perfmon directly.
  It can also be used in scripts that automatically create Nagios service
   configuration files.
  Some examples:
  check_nt -H 192.168.1.1 -p 1248 -v INSTANCES -l Process

Notes:
 - The NSClient service should be running on the server to get any
information
   (http://nsclient.ready2run.nl).
 - Critical thresholds should be lower than warning thresholds
 - Default port 1248 is sometimes in use by other services. The error
   output when this happens contains "Cannot map xxxxx to protocol number".
   One fix for this is to change the port to something else on check_nt
   and on the client service it's connecting to.

No, those look absolutely fine; same as mine anyway.

I now use NagTrap with Nagios 3, but I still have a similar setup to
yours running on my old Nagios 2.7 server.  Let me see ...

There, I have the user snmptt added to the "nagiocmd" group, and at
the end of my submit_check_result script, I have:

sg nagiocmd -c "echo '$cmdline' >> $CommandFile"

It's been a while since I set this up, so my memory is a bit hazy but
I think I remember now battling with this one for a while when I set
it up too.  I think the important thing which got it working was
putting the "sg nagiocmd -c" (or in your case it would be "sg nagcmd
-c ") in front of the command which actually writes to the command
file.

hth,

Jim

p.s.  I'd be interested to know what instructions you followed to get
your method working?  I moved to using NagTrap because I found that
maintaining the submit_check_result script was rather time-consuming,
but if things have moved on a bit since I last set mine up I'd be
interested to see if it's any easier to maintain now.

I quite like NagTrap, but if you follow the standard install for it,
there's a lot of polling the database which is very cpu intensive
compared with writing direct to the command file as you do.  Also, the
alerts aren't so meaningful with NagTrap as they are in your setup.

Cheers,

Jim

dear nagios-list,

You could try:

I'm not sure if it works with Nagios 3 - it might need a little
re-working.  I've used it successfully in the past with Nagios 2.

Well, this explained why we developed (or enhanced) OpMonAgent: to do not depend on .NET.

Hello Jim:

Thank you very much for the help, after changing the last line in the
submit_check_result script from the default of:

`$echocmd $cmdline >> $CommandFile`

to:

sg nagiocmd -c "echo '$cmdline' >> $CommandFile"

everything works fine.

As for my setup, I run nagios 3 and Nagtrap. However I send the
notifications as passive checks directly from snmptt's EXEC statement. I
some special logic in my script to select the right alarm level and then
send it to nagios with submit_check_result. I link to nagtrap using the
action_url in all my snmptrap services.

I catch all the traps in Nagtrap, however only some of them generate alarms.
Whenever an alarm is generated by the selected traps, you can always check
the rest of received traps in nagtrap.

Regards

Marco

Sounds good.

I am current caching the passwords. You set it in the preferences, and  
it holds on to it. Any character is fine.

SSL support is for the next minor release, which is being worked on.

Thanks!
Daniel.

Hi all,

	For any given service, what is the accepted method for overriding test
values for a specific time period?  For example, we have servers that
are backed up at a given time each night.  During the backup period,
load is driven up on the server, exceeding the current threshold.  This,
in turn, results in alerts being sent out about the server.

	However, since we know about this in advance, and it's a scheduled
service, we'd like to override the load value during the backup period.
 So if we normally trigger on a load of 2, we'd like to instead trigger
on a load of 4 during backups.

	I know I can create two services with two timeperiods that will handle
this, but is there a better way?

Thanks,

Thanks Marco,

I think I'm going to have to 'bite the bullet' and do something
similar myself soon.

Cheers,

you can execute the test for load in a timeperiod that excludes  the backup times and hence not get 
the alert , but  will work for the rest of the day  - for example :

# 'skipbackup' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name skipbackup
        monday          00:00-20:00,21:00-24:00
        }

Understood, but that removes load monitoring all together for that time
period.  These servers are important enough that we don't want to stop
monitoring load, just adjust the values for a short period of time.

You could create a new check_command with the higher acceptable load.  
At the start of your backup process, send the CHANGE_SVC_CHECK_COMMAND  
external command to nagios with the higher threshold check_command. At  
the end of the backup process, send the same external command but  
specify the lower threshold check_command.

Every now and then, I get these on a host or two, for ALL checks, so I'm
flooded with alerts.  The condition clears itself up after just a few
minutes, but it's just annoying to get these alerts.  Anyone else seeing
this?  Any suggestions how to handle?
 
Thanks,
Peter

Nagios is alerting you to a general problem. Without knowing specifics  
about what you're checking and how, generally speaking the host was  
unreachable, down (if this is a check_snmp check), too busy to respond  
or otherwise non-responsive. You should investigate as the problem is  
almost certainly real. Maybe you have a network connectivity issue or  
problem on those hosts.

Hello all,

I'm having a hard making the graphs work.  I'm running CentOS 5.1 (RHEL 5.1).  I'm successfully running Nagios version 3.0.6 on this system.  I'm having problems with getting Nagiosgraph to work.  One, here is the output of my webpage:

http://server.net/nagiosgraph/cgi/show.cgi?host=reach_media&service=PING

Nagiosgraph has detected an error in the configuration file: /etc/nagios/nagiosgraph/nagiosgraph.conf.
/usr/local/nagios/nagiosgraph/rrd is empty

Next, here is my /var/log/nagiosgraph.log:

When I try to run insert.pl manually, I get this error:

I have RRD installed; I also use Smokeping on this server.  Please assist.

I figured it out; I don't know though how I did it.  Maybe it was just waiting for the next service check interval for it to refresh.  The webpage has a drop-down with a list of hosts and services being monitored.  And, the graphs display nicely.

Ok, I take that back.  :/ :/

All the graphs show that it polled for a short time.  Now, there is no line on any of the graphs past a certain point.

BTW: running it from the Nagios server shows:

nagios at nephilim libexec]$ ./check_nt -H 10.100.150.101 -p 12489 -v 
CPULOAD -l 5,85,95,15,80,95
CPU Load 2% (5 min average) 1% (15 min average) |   '5 min avg 
Load'=2%;85;95;0;100 '15 min avg Load'=1%;80;95;0;100

So the daemon is (obviously or I wouldn't have other graphs) and it can 
manually poll it. The other system I mentioned is configured identically 
and is successfully graphing CPU trends...

Most are just generic checks, like NSClient version, Uptime, Drive
Space, Memory Usage, several processes and services, etc. It's a Windows
2000 server host running the NSClient++.  It's hard to catch this while
it's happening because it only lasts a few minutes and I'm never here
when it happens.

I started slowly transitioning from using check_nt to check_nrpe and the
responses vary between the two:

check_nt reports: No data was received from host!
check_nrpe reports: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

I don't believe it's a network connectivity problem, or the ping check
wouldn't succeed and the other checks wouldn't run.  I guess it could be
a non-responsive system condition, perhaps some process hogs all CPU
cycles or something like that...

Nagios is alerting you to a general problem. Without knowing specifics  
about what you're checking and how, generally speaking the host was  
unreachable, down (if this is a check_snmp check), too busy to respond  
or otherwise non-responsive. You should investigate as the problem is  
almost certainly real. Maybe you have a network connectivity issue or  
problem on those hosts.

In Responce to the original Question.

Nagios is designed to process any command that can can make it to a command
console.
Nagions does not have anything internally to communicate with the service
checks, it relies on the Plugins one chooses to configure.

The purpose of Check_nt used in conjunction with a windows client like
(NC_NEt, NSCLinet++) is to enable getting data from windows to the Unix
teminal for nagios to process.

If you can get the data through some other means, Like NSCA, NRPE, SNMP,
Windows Credentials, WHatever then feel free to do it that way.

It may help to READ the Nagios MANUAL
(or if you have read the manual  RE-READ IT)
since the Nagios 3.X manual has a chapter on Windows monitoring,
and other parts of the manual may also be helpful if you plan
on administrating  Nagios.

NC_net is also sometimes a victim of this type of senario,

I have found two senerios that caused this condion,
1) one of the checks takes a long time to process,
Solution:
a)If you can isolate the check that takes a long time, and find a quicker
way to retrieve the data
b) increase the Timout of all the Windows checks so they do not timeout as
quickly

2) In several cases I have found the problem was not the windows plugin at
all.
The problem was the Server itself.  in this senario it is the responsibilty
of the Windows Admin to uncover why Windows in unable to appropialy respond.
It could be anything form backups running, to a Hard Disk or Memory chip
misbehaving.  or just High System load.
the Hard part is in the diagnosis, if the system is not responding to
other aplication durring this interval, then it may be throwing out some
Event Log Messages since They are not garenteed to be delivered

It can be done with Nagios (which is just a scheduler), but not by using
check_nt. It can be done using check_nt to connect to an NCNet instance
(or perhaps NCNet can be compiled using Mono or some such, in which case
you should be able to tweak it enough to make it usable from command-line
on any unixy system where you can install mono).

In this case "check_nt" is the hammer. Nagios is just the carpenter, and
it can use hammers, cars, TV's, screwdrivers, beer and carpet slippers
just fine ;-)

I should look into NCNet. If it's written in C#, it might be usable with
mono and then we could get a Linux binary running checks directly against
windows hosts, with actual credentials being used for authentication.

*warning: post contains rant*

Andreas, you're making my head hurt! ;) I've been using (learning) 
Nagios now for about a week now and haven't encountered anything with 
such a vertical learning curve like this since I started learning Linux 
in 1996. Climbing this learning curve causes massive frustration, but 
once success happens there's a huge release of satisfaction and 
self-accomplishment. I personally am enjoying the trip and experience.

Yesterday, after feeling comfortable getting Nagios to talk to servers 
on my local network for checking the obvious services running on them - 
linux and windows servers - like IIS, Apache, SMTP and the like I 
started working on getting my workstation to talk to the Nagios server 
via the NSClient++ package. This is going to be yet another challenge 
and one I fully accept.

Let me tell you, for me the harder something is the more tenacious I 
become and refuse to let go until I master it. That being said the 
documentation which comes with Nagios seriously sucks until you begin to 
get on to the Nagios way of doing things. Over the last week I have 
googled more than I have in the last 5 years getting my test-bed nagios 
system going. I have literally googled my brains out. At the moment I'm 
somewhat at a loss to know whether I've worked harder googling for 
information or actually getting to know the Nagios way and making things 
work! I'm leaning towards Googling...

So for you to curtly suggest that all can easily be found googling as an 
answer to this question is, well... just too easy. Either you don't 
actually know or you don't feel like telling. I totally understand 
though because I suspect you yourself have worked very hard getting to 
know and work with Nagios and have put quite a bit of time into the 
gaining the experience you now possess, but throwing us noobs a bone 
isn't really asking too much is it?

Bone == link to information
slap in one's face == go google it...

Yeah... we can find the stuff we need by googling for it, but wouldn't 
it be nice if the documentation were a lot more robust and contained in 
a wiki somewhere? I have yet to find one for Nagios. In fact most of the 
sites I've found for Nagios waste my time. Which is pretty much what 
suggesting someone google for something does. They're hoping for, at the 
very least a kick in the ass in the right direction but get sent back to 
the place of frustration - Google! The trick to googling is knowing the 
right question to ask and after you've been spending hours trying to 
suss out something that is vexing one's soul that becomes an exercise in 
futility. (I'm ranting, but I don't mean it in an accusatory tone.)

As I said, I do understand that you and others have invested a great 
deal of time and effort into learning Nagios and how to work it, but if 
you don't want to share whats locked away in your brains then why even 
respond to the post?

If I've offended I do apologize, but as an experience network admin and 
a Nagios noob I know the value of my time and yours and others searching 
for the information that would hopfully unlock the doors currently 
barring them from reaching the next milestone or goal. I appreciated 
your metaphore of a hammer and a car; the fact that it can't be done 
with check_nt was informative, but then you lost me when you said just 
google it.

Google What for pete's sake? (after a long day of wrestling with the 
beast that could mean google for anything ranging from the best recipe 
for blueberry pancakes to the ingredient to a fusion device!)

Frankly, if I knew more about Nagios and the intimacies thereof, I would 
gladly host a wiki for it on one my web servers, but alas I'm a noob. my 
one burning question: Why the hell isn't there a wiki for Nagios, and if 
there is where the bloody hell is it?

Thank you for you kind attention and for putting up with this petulant 
Nagios Newbie.

Mark

Heh, the learning curve is not nearly so steep as say Slackware back  
in those days... Nagios is a lot like linux though; it's just a base  
platform. How you implement it, what you monitor with it and how you  
do so is going to greatly depend on what you want to get out of it and  
your environment. While there is a lot of commonality between users,  
there's also a lot of difference and flexibility to monitor things any  
way you like. If it can be run from the command line, it can be turned  
into a plugin generally.

... one of the reasons I recommend reading the documentation, then the  
sample config files, then the documentation again. IMHO, the  
documentation is actually very good and covers most common concepts  
and scenarios, either very specifically or generally. ~90% of the time  
I respond to a question, I'm looking at the documentation that answers  
it.

I'm quite certain he knows, or has heard of people doing it, and  
believes that the answers you seek are easily found. I believe that  
you might not yet know the questions to ask google though because you  
don't yet understand the concepts.

I don't think that expecting you to figure out that you should google  
for 'nagios wmi' is too much to expect, since that was your goal and  
what he pointed you to do. In your question, you made an assumption  
about a tool (check_nt) that was incorrect. The documentation for that  
tool would have told you it was incorrect by omission but he pointed  
it out and told you there were other tools available that might do  
what you need. There are *many* nagios plugins available created by  
many people. It's not possible to know them all or where they are  
located, hence the google recommendation. He can not be expected to do  
that kind of research for you in the same way that a kernel developer  
can't be expected to tell you which web server to install and how to  
use it.

There's one linked directly from the Documentation page at http://www.nagios.org 
. http://www.nagiosexchange.org is another, somewhat different but  
well known community site.

Because posters and responders have unknown levels of knowledge? He  
provided information based on an expectation that you have a higher  
level of knowledge. That information would have been quite sufficient  
for many people. You have two possible paths in a case like that, you  
either try to figure out what he means or you ignore it and wait for  
someone else to answer at a level you understand. If you get no  
further answers that either indicates most people think it's  
sufficient, you didn't ask the right question or you didn't give the  
right information. If you're fortunate, you may even have people tell  
you that. He answered in a manner that is comfortable to him and meets

generally, 'nagios check <whatever>' will provide resources for  
checking most anything someone's tried to monitor. You'll either find  
plugins, web pages or list archives.

The learning curve is indeed steep at first.  I found the book
"Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth invaluable in flattening that curve.
http://nostarch.com/nagios_2e.htm  It's available as a .pdf download
or in traditional book form.

I'm not sure the book would answer your original question in this
thread though, and nor can I!

I hope this helps,

Jim

Hi! 

My first post to Nagios list. 

Has someone done email/sms monitoring service to nagios for monitoring use of "su"? 
I would like to certain contact or contact group to be notified when someone su's or logins as root
to the system - any recommendations for the best way to do such monitoring?

Nagios is not really the right tool for this job, look into logservers 
and automated alerting from syslog, this is how I do, much much better. 
Usually you would code any notification method you want, email or sms 
doesn't matter at that point, you can do what you want once you have the 
method of detection.

Mark, thanks for keeping the tone very much to the point and

A clarification will be necessary here, I feel. You mentioned a few apps
in your original post which utilizes WMI to access windows boxes, so I
obviously figured you had researched them already.

The hammer != car analogy is two-fold actually. One meaning is that you
were using the wrong tool. The other is that you might be thinking along
wrong lines entirely. I'm willing to bet that 99% of all nagios installations
in the world monitor Windows servers either using SNMP or one of the 3 easily
available clients designed specifically for that purpose (nsclient, nsclient++
and NC_Net). check_nt *can* talk to either of those clients, but they do not
use WMI while doing so.

The exception is NC_Net which can, if I understand how it works correctly (I
may not; I haven't looked at its source/README's at all, since our own way
of doing it is sufficient), query other windows servers using the dotnet
framework. However, the chain then becomes

nagios -> check_nt -> NC_Net on one windows server -> Other windows server

In other words, you need to use NC_Net on one server as a sort of proxy,
and that seems to fall slightly outside what you wanted.

However, the excellent Mono framework runs just fine under Linux, and
since NC_Net is written in C# (I checked since I last posted about it),
a moderately skilled programmer shouldn't have too much difficulty
adapting NC_Net to cut out the proxy server and send queries directly
to the targeted Windows server from which one actually wants information.

Had you responded "Right, I'm not a programmer so if you could hint at
what's required for this?", I'd have known you're not. The post above
was a kind of bait for both you and Tony Montibello (NC_Net author), as
I believe a mono-based plugin to check windows systems would be totally
awesome. I have no need for it though, so I won't be working on it.

Well, now that it seems you are no longer bothering to use WMI credentials
(which was what the original post was all about), you really should be
able to find all the information you need using google. I have a fairly
good idea what queries I'd use. 'nagios "check windows" download' without
single quotes would be a good start. Adapt it from there and you can't
possibly fail. You'll notice that check_nt *is* the tool to use for that,
but then we are, again, drifting away from the original post regarding
WMI.

Because very little is locked away in my brain that didn't come from the
internet in one way or another in the first place, and I won't tell you
to whom I lost my virginity anyway ;-)

Personally, I think your confusion and lack of success with Google stems
from a couple of things;
* You started the thread asking about WMI credentials.
* Tomasz Chmielewski replied (not entirely erroneously) that you can make
  checks using whichever credentials you want. He did however fail to
  mention that quite a lot of those checks would require substantial
  programming skills and effort to realize (there are no opensource
  programs designed specifically to set the clocks of GPS-satellites,
  for example, but it *could* be done by a sufficiently skilled and
  dedicated programmer).
* You proceeded to ask questions about a specific plugin (check_nt),
  asking it to do something it can't do (and was never intended to do),
  while at the same time displaying a rather severe lack of research
  into how check_nt works.
* I replied, rather shortly, that check_nt can't do what you want. This
  would have been obvious if you had read its documentation, so I didn't
  bother researching the further pointers I gave you, since I doubted
  you were worth spending any time on anyway. I'm now happily proven
  wrong. In a way, this small essay is a token of that.

You have not offended (well, you did a little, but the fences are mended

That depends on the question, which I'm still not sure you understand.

Q1: What's the most common and tested way of monitoring windows servers?
A1: We (op5 AB) use NSClient++ on all of our 300+ customers' windows
    servers. It works great. Another server-side agent to do the same
    is NC_Net, which does things a bit differently. Both work just fine,
    so just grab whichever you like best and go with that.

Q2: How do I check my windows-servers without installing a server-side
    agent? The program doing the checking must authenticate using WMI
    credentials.
A2: I don't think anything like that exists now. If it does, google
    can almost certainly provide a link for it. If you're a moderately
    skilled programmer, you should be able to modify NC_Net to run
    through Mono on your Nagios server and thus achieve your agent-less
    windows monitoring.


The confusion arises because you seem to wobble between these two questions,
and in the post I replied to, you sort of asked both at once but mingled
them so that no answer in the world would have made sense.

If your *actual* question isn't one of the two above, you should probably
spend a couple of minutes trying to figure out exactly what your end-goal
is ("I want to monitor disk and cpu-usage on my windows-servers") and
*then* figure out restrictions or problems around that end-goal ("I'm not
allowed to install any agent on the servers, or enable SNMP"). When you've
figured it out, come back here and put together a coherent request of
pointers to achieve your end-goal. Trying one solution and asking about
specific problems you run into along the way when it later shows that your
entire solution is totally wrong from the start is a sure-fire way of
getting you possibly humorous but utterly unhelpful responses.

That's a new question. I don't know the answer to it, but a qualified guess
would be "there is, you just haven't found it" or "because noone has bothered
to set one up".

Thanks for not turning into a petulant whiny wanker in the face of apparent
rudeness. Far too many people do that. Needless to say, they accomplish
very little, whereas you who approached it from a far more mature response
has already attracted the attention of, if I may be so bold, two of this
lists most knowledgeable persons; Marc and my not-so-humble self ;-)

Since they're logged, I'd look at using one of the check_log plugins.  
That, possibly combined with 'is_volatile', should get you an alert  
for those events. The notification part is standard fare...

Check out our patch: http://opsview-blog.opsera.com/dotorg/2007/04/changing_a_serv.html

You can then run a different command based on the timeperiod specified.

A combination of the "parents", hostgroups, and escalation. I'll post my configs later, but once you have confirmed that SMS is setup and working (make sure that for every email alert, you also get an SMS alert), then you define your network topology and put them into hostgroups. In my case, I have a hostgroup of "network-core" which includes my core routers, firewalls, Exchange server, Exchange storage, and the switch connecting the Exchange system with the firewall. I then have a contactgroup of the SMS addresses of three key people (myself included). If any of those device fail, Nagios sends notification via SMS. If anything else fails, it goes via emails. The kewl thing is I'll often sleep through emails, but if I get an SMS, I know something serious failed and I force myself to get up...

Additionally, I tend to define a sanity check: a ping to yahoo and http to MSN and non-caching dns query of Google. If all sanity checks fail and are not resolved within 4 hours, then through escalations, an SMS is sent to the manager of the support team at our ISP as we likely have a bandwidth down issue. If sanity checks AND a core network device fail, my ISP doesn't get notified as we know its us...

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section 12.4.2. He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out what Jim pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if email is done, you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem resolve this. I have it installed and working fine. Our normal notifications go via email, but if a network device or email server is down, then notifications go via SMS.

I'm new one in Nagios system.

I work in mobile cellular operator company. And I need to know is there any

chance to get notification alert via sms to my mobile phone when BSC or HLR

equipments go down or stop working?

Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to

sms center.





Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to

http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the

usual way and have them converted to SMS.  It's extremely easy to set

up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we

don't know about it!



Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server

and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your

mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can

recommend other options.



In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions

which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.  See

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the

heading "Notification Methods".



hth,



Jim

Hello.

Someone has managed to configure Nagios with SNMP and fortimail to check the
status "cpuload", "memory" and the "queue of messages?"

Please I need that configuration.

Thank you very much

Like any other test...

I do a simple http test to msn.com like you'd test any website with the 
standard plugin.
I do a ping test to yahoo.com since they allow pings still (unlike many 
companies).
And I do a dig to google.com.

Those three are each defined as a host, then put in a hostgroup called 
"sanity check". If one test fails, I assume there's an issue on there 
end and ignore it. If two fail, same thing. If all three fail, I know my 
ISP connection is down. The contactgroup for the hostgroup for these 
hosts goes to SMS (mine and the mgr at our ISP).

Hello,

Can someone help me with this?  None of my graphs have any information being displayed in them.  I've tried re-reading the INSTALL instructions thinking I may've missed a step.  It all seems to check out.  What information do you need from me.  I tried setting the debug level to (4) and insert_debug to 4 but nothing shows up in the log with any INSERT information.  Please help.  Thanks.  Just an FYI, I'm a really new to PERL and Linux altogether.

Subject: check_ntp_peer unreliable on macs
In-Reply-To: <mailman.585370.1235085979.15241.nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net>
References: <mailman.585370.1235085979.15241.nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net>
Message-ID: <49BACF53.3050505@digiraticonsulting.com>

I found this in my mailing list archives, while looking for information about check_ntp_peer. As far as I can tell, nobody ever answered you...

I was just looking into this exact problem. If you check the verbose output, you will probably see something like this:

0 candiate peers available
warning: no synchronization source found
warning: LI_ALARM bit is set

I do get valid output from "ntpq -p hostname", however.

Apparently, the problems with OS X's NTP are well-known and documented. For example,

http://knol.google.com/k/dirk-h-schulz/time-synchronization-ntp-on-mac-os-x/2bcee0ik2900p/18#
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/KnownOsIssues#Section_9.2.5

As a way around this, I thought I would just use check_ntp_time, to compare the xserve's clock against that of the nagios box. However, no luck there either:

sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: offset -0.9300264975
sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: offset -0.9299369976
sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: offset -0.9299154976
sending request to peer 0
response from peer 0: offset -0.9298709977
discarding peer 0: stratum=0
overall average offset: 0
NTP CRITICAL: Offset unknown|


It seems that OS X is responding as a stratum 0 server, which is a no-no.

Also, while fiddling with check_ntp_peer, I noticed that it doesn't seem to accept a port (-p or --port), as the help output suggests it should be able to. Am I crazy?

    I've got Nagios monitoring several Macs, and I'd like to know that NTP  
    is running okay on them, since if the time drifts by a few minutes,  
    Kerberos Authentication stops working.
    It seems that some of the newest Macs work okay, pretty much any of  
    the Intel Macs running 10.5 Leopard work, but on any of the 10.4 Tiger  
    Macs, I just get
    " NTP CRITICAL: Server not synchronized, Offset unknown "

    I'm simply running check_ntp_peer -H localhost

    Any suggestions on if this can be fixed somehow?

    Thanks

Hello,



Can someone help me with this?  None of my graphs have any information being displayed in them.  I've tried re-reading the INSTALL instructions thinking I may've missed a step.  It all seems to check out.  What information do you need from me.  I tried setting the debug level to (4) and insert_debug to 4 but nothing shows up in the log with any INSERT information.  Please help.  Thanks.  Just an FYI, I'm a really new to PERL and Linux altogether.

So exactly what are you using for graphing?  Nagios by default doesn't do any sort of graphing by itself.

I think you're being too kind. I woke up this morning full of myself and 
after having guzzled two cups of coffee by the time I started on that 
post.... well, I bit of the ass-hat came out. My apologies.

Most of my frustration at the moment is coming from not knowing what 
questions to ask Google or what some of the directives mean or even what 
they are. I get the basic concept I just don't speak the language yet. 
It's coming though. The Nagios book I got today is already starting to 
clear up some of the fogginess.

Subject: New Question: NSClient Test
Message-ID: <49BB49E8.1010008@compinfosystems.com>

Yesterday after I got the local servers on the LAN talking to the Nagios 
server I started to attempt to configure the NSClient on my vista 
workstation. I got the host and hostgroup setup for it and even setup a 
simple service for it; I believe it was a simple check to see if the 
host was up (PING).

I edited the ini file for the client according to the Nagios 
documentation and then started the NSClient test program then sat there 
and watched the screen and the text scolling down. What's got me a 
little confused is that I kept seeing a response on the output that 
connections from my workstation were being refused by the Nagios server. 
The ini file is set to contact the nag server on the default port 
according to the Documentation so I'm at a loss as to why the Nag server 
wasn't accepting connections.

The Nagios server, Linux CentOS 4.7 doesn't have a firewall running on 
it so I seriously doubt that the packets are being dropped... (ooops I 
just remembered something)

Is it possible that the port the NSClient communicates on is not enabled 
in the /etc/services file? If that service port isn't enabled in that 
file then it may be that nothing will answer on incoming connections. Am 
I close or all wet?

If you configure NSClient to send passive results to Nagios server you 
need to configure and start NSCA on your Linux box.

or you can setup nagios to do active checks with eg check_nt or 
check_nrpe towards the windows box.

heh... yeah... just after I hit send I happen do search for it in the 
book and found out what it is. How come that's not included in the main 
nagios package?

Although from what I've seen so far there's a discrepancy between the 
book and the configure script in the download.

There are two kinds of checks that nagios understands: active and  
passive.

An active check is one that nagios itself initiates. Nagios schedules  
a plugin to run, executes it and collects the results.

A passive check is one where nagios does _not_ schedule a plugin to  
run, nor does it execute it. Some external entity executes a plugin  
and sends the results to nagios through nagios' external command file  
(a pipe that allows nagios to receive information from external/third  
party programs). The external entity executing the plugin can be  
another nagios instance running on a different machine (distributed  
monitoring), nsclient(++) running on windows (I have no experience  
there), crond - local or remote running a custom script, etc.

NSCA (available on the Downloads page), is a set of external programs  
to properly format external passive check results into something  
nagios understands and pass them to nagios. It's comprised of a  
daemon, nsca, running on the nagios server and a client running on a  
remote system that sends the results to the nsca daemon. The package  
includes a client for unix-like machines named send_nsca. NSclient(++)  
also implements a send_nsca client. The client machine is the  
originator of the check and it's results. NSCA implements it's own  
protocol for communication between the client and the nsca deamon.

NRPE (available on the Downloads page) is a set of programs that allow  
nagios to run active checks on remote machines to check things that  
are not normally available over the network (think disk, cpu, memory  
utilization). It consists of a plugin that nagios actively executes  
(check_nrpe) and a daemon running on a client (nrpe). Nagios actively  
calls the check_nrpe plugin which asks the NRPE daemon to execute a  
specific check configured on the remote host and return it's results  
to nagios. NRPE implements it's own protocol for communication between  
the client and the nrpe daemon.

check_nt is a nagios plugin that is also scheduled as an active check  
and connects to a remote nsclient(++) daemon to execute a specific  
check and return the results to nagios. I believe that check_nt/ 
nsclient implement yet another protocol for that communication.

NSclient(++) can be configured for either role. It can be a target of  
an active check by nagios using either the NRPE or check_nt protocols,  
or it can submit passive checks to nagios using the NSCA protocol. I  
would say it is usually the target for one of the active check types  
most commonly, unless it is behind a restrictive firewall or the  
system to be monitored is on a dynamic IP. In the latter case, it's  
often easier to have the monitored system contact nagios with a  
passive check instead of the other way around.

check_by_ssh is another plugin to execute checks on remote unix-like  
machines. It's commonly configured as an active check and simply uses  
the ssh protocol to run a plugin installed on another machine. The  
results are then returned to nagios.

Hope I didn't confuse you further... As to why NSCA isn't distributed  
as part of nagios, most people don't need it. I'd say the majority of  
installations use active checks only.

I'm a little nervous about asking my question but I have to because I have
no knowledge about coding and I have searched on Google, not sure what to
search for is also hampering me.

I need to get two gates at the end of this script so my provider will then
send it on to their SMS gateway .


/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$
**" $CONTACTEMAIL$

So to get my mail to SMS should look like the below, my provider will send
it to SMS and remove the two #'s.

***** Nagios *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: FTP
Host: IBM 3
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
State: CRITICAL

Date/Time: Fri Mar 13 18:12:47 GMT 2009

Additional Info:

Connection refused ##

Thanks

Martyn

Right behind the $SERVICEOUTPUT$, so make it look like

One very minor edit --

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:  
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$ 
\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:

mailx -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is  
$SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

becomes

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:  
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$ 
\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:

You should try to understand why that was all it takes.

One very minor edit --

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:  
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$
\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:  
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/ mailx -s
"** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$
**" $CONTACTEMAIL$

becomes

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:  
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$
\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:  
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$ ##" | /usr/bin/ mailx
-s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is
$SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

You should try to understand why that was all it takes.

Hi all,

Is it possible to monitor applications bandwidth utilization via nagios.

1) If I enables snmp in a router shall I able to monitor bandwidth in
application wise (I see BW port wise monitoring example but how to do
application wise )
eg- which shows this bandwidth for mysql queries, this for proxy request,
this for say some 3rd part application.....

2)My company has several vpns to connect different sites. each site has a
router and switches connecting to it. I want to monitor bandwidth
utilization of these in maximal detail. Please refer me to the howto achive

Hi All

 

  I had this very long time ago but can't find my notes on how I fixed
this.

 

  We have had to restart the server that is running our nagios
monitoring.

 

   After the reboot we started nagios, which is running as I am getting
my notifications, however when I try to access the web based frontend
via the browser I get "Object not found ERROR 404".

 

   I remember I had this before after a reboot but after moving between
a couple of pc's in the meantime I seem to have lost my notes...

 

 

  Can anyone please give some suggestions.

 

 

   System running: 

 

*         Suse 9.3

*         Apache2

 

regards

Hi Marc,

oops i didn't see that somebody answered. thanks.

here are the values:
egrep
"max_concurrent_checks|max_service_check_spread|max_host_check_spread|aggregate_status_updates|status_update_interval"
nagios.cfg
#max_service_check_spread=30
max_service_check_spread=5
#max_host_check_spread=30
max_host_check_spread=5
max_concurrent_checks=0

i didn't find the parameter aggregate_status_updates.

shortly i tried some performance tuning - old values are commeted out. but
things did not change.

best regards,
Uwe

Well, you could setup SMS notifications, then bring down a service you 
monitor. That's always a simple one. Add http to a server you don't need 
it on, monitor it, then shut down the httpd process and wait for alerts...

Subject: Host checks instead of service checks
Message-ID: <84836290D5AD43418C40DCF0C4A54ED38E3B3C@kogex02.pmpl.co.uk>

Hi Folks, 

Currently, the main nagios box (running old version of SuSE) and Nagios
2.0b4 is running just with service checks, one of which is an ssh check (we
don't allow ping) 

So in the web interface, I see all hosts as up. 

However, I've built a new box (which hopefully will replace the above) with
SLES 10SP1 and Nagios 3.0.6. I've put the same config files (services.cfg
and hosts.cfg) 
on the this new system. But now the hosts all show as "Pending". So I then
moved the ssh check from a service check to a host check and can see that
the more hosts I move the  less hosts are pending. That's good so far...

But, when I run the pre-flight check (/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v
nagios.cfg), I now get warnings to say some hosts don't have any service
checks associated with it! 
This is true as some nodes will only have ssh checks against them whilst
others will have other checks against them. I'd rather it didn't warn me as
I have hundreds
of hosts appear in the pre-flight check warnings and it now looks incredibly
untidy to see all this. 

How can I get rid of these warnings ? 

I'm probably missing something here so any help would be appreciated. I'm
wondering for example, if I should force the initial state to be UP for
hosts rather than 
moving the ssh service check to a host check. But then what would happen if
the service check found a node was down - would it reflect that in the "host
problems" ? 

regards,
deborah

You could use check_dummy for the host check and just have it always
return OK.
Or perhaps the opposite you could add a check_dummy service check for
all hosts.

Which you choose will depend upon your personal preference and how you
want dependencies to be handled.

Message-ID: <84836290D5AD43418C40DCF0C4A54ED38E3B3E@kogex02.pmpl.co.uk>

Folks, 

I should have also mentioned that the reason for doing this is to filter out
host problems separately to service problems. 
If I leave ssh checks as a service and 44 nodes are switched off, I see 44
ssh critical alerts under Service Problems. I'd rather see 44 ssh critical
alerts under
Host Problems. (I thought my method below would a good way to filter these
out). When we resize database systems, we only want to know about critical
alerts 
for the database as a service problem (we may reduce a DB by 50 nodes but DB
is still valid for monitoring) 

regards,
deborah

Subject: Monitoring IBM server-hardware (x3650) running
	Windows
Message-ID: <20090316162012.GB4715@umbach-racing.de>

Hi,
How can I monitor the hardware in IBM servers running Windows, especially
the physical harddrives?

I can't see anything via SNMP that makes sense and the IBM Director Agents
sends no traps if a drive fails.

I played around with check_serveraid, changed the ssh-stuff to winexe,
but I don't like that solution because it needs an administrative account
to execute ipssend.exe AND it doesn't work an all servers (sometimes it
says "Found 0 IBM ServeRAID controller(s).", which is definitly a lie!)
Before that inconsistency I even thought about compiling it with pp and
run it via NRPE.

My current workaround is checking the application-eventlog and filter for
the source substr:ServeRAID.

Has anybody found a better solution?

Cheers
	Klaus

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tntnagiosplugin/Windows SNMP is really 
not all that useful in my experience. I have a feeling that Microsoft 
would like it to go away in favor of their proprietary MOM. What you may 
be able to use to get to hard disk failure information is WMI. In fact, 
I wrote a plugin that checks the SMART information (not RAID, though) on 
either one host, or all workstations in a domain (it will need 
appropriate permissions, which translates to either administrator access 
or the Local System account). You can find that plugin in my 
tnt_nagios_plugins project on SourceForge. I'll be happy to create a 
plugin to check the IBM raid controller as long as you can provide me 
with the needed documentation and either do the testing for me or give 
me access to a development server for testing.

You're right, it wouldn't.  For the host check, you need some method
of checking if the host is up.  If ssh is the only method at your
disposal to check if a host is up, and there are no other services you
can monitor as service checks then my humble opinion is you're best
off specifying ssh for both your host and service checks on those
hosts.  I am allowed to use ping, so I do.  For those nodes on which I
monitor no services, I also use ping as the service check - to me
that's functionally equivalent to using ssh for both, it's just a
different service.

If you're monitoring other services and you're only using the ssh
checks to see if the host is up or not, then I'd recommend just using
the ssh check as a host check, leaving the others as service checks.

I wonder, though, if it might be possible for you to check the host
using a passive check?  For example you could have cron send a check
using NSCA from your server every minute and use freshness checking to
see if the host is down or not.  I can't say I've ever tried it but
guess it's another option worth thinking about.

Jim

Subject: Host checks instead of service checks
Message-ID: <84836290D5AD43418C40DCF0C4A54ED38E3B44@kogex02.pmpl.co.uk>

Folks, 
 
Whilst using check_dummy as a service check does resolve the pre-flight
warnings, it's not the solution I think I'm looking for. 
 
The total number of service checks now includes the dummy checks which i've
chosen to always exit as UP so that it doesn't show up as a service problem
- which to me 
doesn't sound like the right way to do this. I want all service checks to be
useful service checks rather than have checks which would need to be ignored
as they don't return
anything useful as with check_dummy - I wouldn't ever use that check in any
Nagios SLA reporting.  
 
What I really want to do is the following : 
 
Hosts -->> ssh check -->> When "CRITICAL" alert under "Host problems" only. 
 
The docs show a distinct difference for behaviour between Nagios 2.0b4 and
Nagios 3.0.6. 
 
>From Nagios 2.0b4, under Host Definitions:- 
check_command:	 This directive is used to specify the short name of the
<http://193.35.206.171/nagios/docs/xodtemplate.html#command> command that
should be used to check if the host is up or down. Typically, this command
would try and ping the host to see if it is "alive". The command must return
a status of OK (0) or Nagios will assume the host is down. If you leave this
argument blank, the host will not be checked - Nagios will always assume the
host is up. This is useful if you are monitoring printers or other devices
that are frequently turned off. The maximum amount of time that the
notification command can run is controlled by the
<http://193.35.206.171/nagios/docs/configmain.html#host_check_timeout>
host_check_timeout option. 	
 
 
>From Nagios 3.0.6 
check_command:	 This directive is used to specify the short name of the
<http://193.35.206.117/nagios/docs/objectdefinitions.html#command> command
that should be used to check if the host is up or down. Typically, this
command would try and ping the host to see if it is "alive". The command
must return a status of OK (0) or Nagios will assume the host is down. If
you leave this argument blank, the host will not be actively checked. Thus,
Nagios will likely always assume the host is up (it may show up as being in
a "PENDING" state in the web interface). This is useful if you are
monitoring printers or other devices that are frequently turned off. The
maximum amount of time that the notification command can run is controlled
by the
<http://193.35.206.117/nagios/docs/configmain.html#host_check_timeout>
host_check_timeout option. 	
 
The difference is highlighted in RED. So on changing the "ssh check"  from a
service to a host definition (to prevent PENDING on the hosts), the
pre-flight warnings now complain there are no services associated with the
hosts. On big systems here (100 nodes+) this makes the pre-flight output
really unreadable and not really accurate as surely we should be able to
choose whether something is a host check or service check but not have to
define BOTH!
 
Ultimately, I just want to filter SSH check problems to appear under "Host
problems" rather than under "Service problems" so users can easily spot
other service problem issues and not have to trawl through 100's of lines of
output in the web interface. Believe me, Nagios web interface users can be a
fickle bunch! 
 
A switch to tell Nagios to not complain about this would be really useful
unless anyone thinks of a good reason why this would be a bad idea. 
 
any help / pointers would be appreciated, even if it's to tell me politely
how stupid i'm being - I can take it! 
 
regards,
deborah

You could use check_dummy for the host check and just have it always return
OK. 
Or perhaps the opposite you could add a check_dummy service check for all
hosts. 

Which you choose will depend upon your personal preference and how you want
dependencies to be handled.

Folks,

I did a fresh nagios 3.0.6 installation on a linux server.

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight
check
[root at DELL8B81Y11 sbin]# service nagios restart
Running configuration check...done.
Stopping nagios: /etc/init.d/nagios: line 67: kill: (24483) - No such
process
done.
Starting nagios: done.
[root at DELL8B81Y11 sbin]# service nagios status
nagios is not running
[root at DELL8B81Y11 sbin]#

Why am i getting like this. I have a nagios.conf file in
/etc/httpd/conf/nagios.conf and the content is

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory ?/usr/local/nagios/sbin/?>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options ExecCGI
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
</Directory>

Alias /nagios/ /usr/local/nagios/share/
<Directory ?/usr/local/nagios/share?>
Options None
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

At the webinterface when i type http://localhost/nagios/ i get to see the
webinterface but when i click host detail i see this :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

What does nagios.log have to say?
Do you see the process running in the ps list?
Can you run nagios in the foreground as root (/usr/local/nagios/bin/ 
nagios /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg)?
As the nagios user?
In daemon mode as the nagios user (/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d / 
usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg)?
Is there anything special about the mount point that nagios lives under?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand.  If there are "other service
problems" this implies you are monitoring services other than ssh on
that host.  In that case it is perfectly valid to have ssh as your
host check and various other checks as your service checks.  The
pre-flight "nagios -v" test then won't complain at all.

Please don't forget that the primary purpose of Nagios is to alert you
when a service important to you has a problem.  If a service isn't
important to you you probably shouldn't be monitoring it with Nagios.

If ssh is the only service important to you on a server and it's also
the only way to check whether it is up, it's perfectly valid to have
it both as a service and host check.

If it really bothers you, you could probably contrive an snmp query of
the port on the switch most local to the server to see if it's 'up' or
not.

Cheers,

Jim

Subject: sending external commands remotely
Message-ID: <B57B6F187F374512AB28FB2471A77978@edgility.com>


I'd like to be able to remotely turn off/turn on service/host checks.  For example, a remote machine could turn off a service check while running a backup and turn it back on after it is done.  Ideally, this is a simple perl script, wrapper for 'wget', batch file, etc that could run on Unix or Windows (maybe using SSL for securing the password?).   I assume it would talk directly to cgi on the nagios server.  I've seen some others asking for something similar, but no definitive replies.   My understanding of NSCA is that is simply for collecting passive information, and can't actually change things, right?

Yes, I could schedule downtime via Nagios, but the downtime is of variable length, the so the exact backup window is not known in advance.  The machine doing the actual backup "knows best" when turn monitoring on and off.   NFS mounting the nagios command file is not an option.    I did see the old remote_ctl.pl script on nagiosexchange but I don't want to do anything non-standard on the nagios server if possible.  I understand that I could use ssh to run local commands on nagios server, but I'm looking for something more elegant.

My setup is Linux server running Nagios 3.0.6 and 1.4.13 plugins monitoring Linux, Solaris and Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 hosts.

Thanks

Here are 2 ways to do this:

1. Click thru the web interface the normal way you would (un)silence the 
service(s)/servicegroup(s) in question but before submitting the form do a 
View-Source and use the variables and values there to create yourself a 
properly encoded URI and call it with wget. ex:
(silence)
wget -O - http://nagios-server/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=23&cmd_mod=2&host=hostname&service=svcdesc > /dev/null
(unsilence)
wget -O - http://nagios-server/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=22&cmd_mod=2&host=hostname&service=svcdesc > /dev/null

I haven't read thru the source or tried these examples so I don't know if 
you also need to include "&btnSubmit=Commit" to the URI. Or perhaps it 
won't work at all as a GET instead of a POST.


2. Write a CGI that accepts host, service, and silence/unsilence 
variables. Feed the results directly to the Nagios command pipe 
(/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd). Once you've verified your input args, 
feed them to the pipe like:

my $time = time();
open(CMD,">>/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd");
print CMD "[$time] DISABLE_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS;hostname;servicename\n";
close(CMD);

Again, I haven't tested any of this, but it oughtta work in theory.

SNMP client -> snmptrapd -> SNMPTT -> script -> Nagios named
pipe.would work for this as well if you are familiar and comfortable
with SNMP.

I asked the IBM OIDs of the IBM Director, it is not a specific windows

Hi!
I usually setup a service as normal, including sms notification. Then T
simply submit as many CRITICAL PASSIVE service results as necessary, to
make the service CRITICAL, ususally 3. Do this quickly, so Nagios "has
no time" to recognize the service is'n really down...

The IBM Director server can be configured to send traps, and I believe
if it's set up properly it will notify for failed disks (certainly it
can do for failed disks in an array).

You can tweak the exec statement in snmptt.conf to use $4 for the host
name so any traps forwarded by snmptt for IBM Director traps will
appear to be from the originating node and not from your IBM Director
server.

hth,

Jim

If you disable active checks for the service first, you don't have to
worry about doing this quickly.  Don't forget to enable active checks
again afterwards though!

The way the check_dell plugin works that I'm using to monitor Dell 
servers is that it bypasses SNMP altogether, and simply calls Dell's 
reporting utility and parses out the results. As long as there is a 
similar IBM utility, maybe you can use that instead of SNMP?

Subject: Nagios stopped working : process running, no errors,
 but nothing in the web server
Message-ID: <49BF8E36.4010209@medi.fr>

Hi,

I've been running Nagios for months, without any problem. Today, I tried 
to restart it, as I do each time I do a change in the config files. But 
it does not want to work anymore !

- Web server always displays "Error: Could not read host and service 
status information", the same as when Nagios process is not running
- The Nagios process is running, "ps -A | grep nagios" shows a process 
(and only one)
- It answers correctly to start and stop commands (/etc/rc.d/nagios 
start|stop|status|restart on OpenSuse)
- Restarting the server did not change anything
- Of course, there are no errors in my config. Checking config is 
successful, there's nothing special in /var/log/nagios/config.err

Moreover, nagios.log does not display any error. Here's what the latest 
entries look like :

    Informational Message[03-17-2009 12:05:30] Finished daemonizing...

I tried some google search and lisr archive browsing, but most of these 
errors are caused by Nagios process not starting due to a configuration 
mistake. That 's not the case for me, because the process starts, and it 
does not complain about configuration errors...

Any idea ? Are there any other log or debug files where I could have a 
look to see what's going wrong ?

Thank you in advance. Kind regards

instinct tells me it's NDO updating the database. Do you see the mysql  
process busy during this time? If your nagios database is large it may  
take a few minutes for nagios to get going. Either wait and see or  
disable NDO and see if that help.

Make sure you have notifications enabled globally in nagios.cfg  
(enable_notifications).

In the web interface -> Process Info, make sure notifications aren't  
disabled there.

In the web interface, click on the specific service and make sure  
notifications aren't disabled there.

If none of those need changing, please post the nagios.log entries for  
an example service around the time a notification should have been sent.

Subject: Nagios don't send mails
Message-ID: <1237290169.32233.18.camel@nautilus.lip.pt>

 Hi,

 I have nagios Version 3.0.5 installed and running, everything is
working well but the nagios don't send mails in case of service/host
problems.

 I can send mail through the command line shell, I receive mail if I go
through "Send custom service notification".

 My objects

I guess it could be there's a problem with your MySQL database.  I'd
check the MySQL logs and maybe try disabling the event broker
temporarily (event_broker_options and broker_module directives in your
nagios.cfg) to make sure Nagios will work okay without ndomod - if it
does then your problem lies somewhere in the ndomod config or MySQL
database.

hth,

Hi Everyone...

I need to have the service checks happen more often.  It seems to only 
check about 10-15 minutes
and that isn't very useful.  I have seen some options but what is the 
best way to check
more often?  Thanks!

There are approx. 70 hosts and 500 services. It usually takes 2-3 
minutes to start. But this morning, it didn't start after 10-15 minutes...

Then, I went to lunch, and one hour later, it was up and working ! So, 
you were right, it's just a delay problem...

As far as I remember, I installed MySQL and NDOUtils to test the NagVis 
extension. But it was just a test, and I don't use it. So, maybe I could 
disable NDO completely. Are there any good reasons for me to use NDO 
(Other than writing my own software to query MySQL databases directly) ?

Kind regards

No, unless you find other third party software that uses it.

Change (normal_)check_interval in your service definitions (which it  
is depends on your version of nagios).

Change check_interval (and optionally retry_interval) in the service
definition (or the template which your service definition uses).

See:

I only use NDO so that I can run NagVis (and jolly good it is too!).

If you don't need to query MySQL for anything, then no I wouldn't
bother running NDO.

Subject: Added "Blame" to availability reports
Message-ID: <7C3AB909-D9D3-4867-9485-1D3B7CF40AC4@aarp.org>

I've been asked to monitor a service provided by some commercial  
software for the purpose of reporting whether the vendor is meeting  
their contractual obligations.  We have a pretty stock installation  
(no NDO running).

The one thing that's requested is the ability to report on  
availability that's 'Our Fault' vs. availability thats 'Vendor Fault'.

1) Is anyone here aware of any add-ons that would provide the ability  
to ascribe downtime periods to a cause, then provide reports on  
downtime due to that cause?

2) If I were to write my own add-on, what would be the right approach?

3) Could I get the requested availability reporting if I were to  
create some weird timeperiod like  
'24x7_except_the_times_we_screwed_up', where that timeperiod were to  
use 24x7, with exceptions for the downtime that were our fault?

Thanks for any advice,

Peter

This is the only log entry? A SERVICE ALERT is not a NOTIFICATION; it  
just means that the service changed state. It's still in a SOFT state,  
meaning that it hadn't reached max_check_attempts and transitioned to  
a HARD (i.e. known for sure) state. Nagios only sends notifications on  
HARD states.

yes, there is one: ipssend.exe, but sometimes it says, there is no
controller, but I know, there is one.

NagVis is not a priority here. No time to play with nice graphics :-)

Moreover, having all the Nagios information in a MySQL database points 
me out a simple way to solve some other problems for which I didn't find 
any solution yet (for example, filtering out "wrong" service check 
results when a host is unreachable due to a wan failure).

Then, I'll investigate further how NDO and MySQL work... And, maybe, 
I'll offer a new server with decent performance to my Nagios (in 
replacement of the good old hp Proliant of 8 years old...)

Thank you & Mark for the answers.

Kind regards

 Hi,

 Problem resolved, stupid problem :-D

 host_notification_options        d,u,r,f,n
 service_notification_options     w,u,c,r,f,n

 The "n" says ...
 "If you specify n (none) as an option, the contact will not receive any
type of host notifications."

Thank's anyway :)

I've spent an unfathomable amount of time trying to achieve similar.

In the end, I installed NDOUtils and built some rough scripts to
interogate the database pulling stats based on (for my needs, but it
could be altered) hostgroup and working out availability.

For stuff that's not my fault, e.g. customer issue such a power
onsite, we schedule downtime.  Downtime within scheduled downtime is
not counted in the availability report.

An added complication is that if you enter a downtime period in the
past (i.e. retrospectiove downtime at some point after the event when
you've correctly established blame) Nagios does not add it to the NDO
database - I had to scrip up something to parse the nagios log files
from the command submission for the downtime period and manually add
these periods to the database myself prior to reporting.

It seems to me that if even IBM's own utility does not reliably 
recognize the controller, either there is no way to do it, or - more 
likely - you have some kind of hardware problem already.

Nagios server version: nagios-2.9-1.el4.rf
Platform: redhat 4ES x86_64
Hpasm version:hpasm-7.8.0-88.rhel4

I am trying to get the Nagios server to report on it's own health status as well as other servers using the check_hpasm plugin

The configuration for local monitoring is:

define service{
        use                              local-service
        host_name                        monitor
        service_description              HP Server Health
        servicegroups                    server
        check_command                    check_hpasm!public
        }


define command{
command_name check_hpasm
command_line $USER1$/check_hpasm -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$
}

This is working fine in Nagios so hpasm -v is working  and parsing information. Now I am a bit confused with getting the remote monitoring to work.

Remote host hpasm version: hpasm-7.8.0-88.rhel4
nrpe daemon is installed as well as check_hpasm is installed
nrpe.config:
Added:

command[check_hpasm]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_hpasm -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public



define command{
       command_name    check_remote_hpasm
       command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_hpasm -C $ARG1$
       }

define service{
        use                              local-service
        host_name                        remote
        service_description              HP Server Overall Health
        servicegroups                    server
       check_command                    check_remote_hpasm!public
        }

Error from Nagios: No ouput from plugin.

>From a command line:
./check_nrpe -H monitor -c check_hpasm -C public

./check_nrpe: invalid option -- C

Can someone help me. What am I doing wrong.

Regards

It doesn't seem to like your '-C' option. I'd start by making sure that
option is valid and go from there.

Not I (but they may exist).

If I were to develop an external app to do this for a single service,  
I'd approach it by using an event_handler to log down and up  
timestamps to a database, then add comments to the database associated  
with those events.

Not that I can envision.

The simplest, nagios-native approach I can think of is to just add a  
comment to the service with the detail you want. At the end of each  
month, review the comments for the service then remove them.

Marc DeTrano from Gridshield recently contributed an excellent
solution to the slow startup problem which I summarised like so:

    I simply added a file "nagios.cnf"
    under /etc/mysql/conf.d like so:

     [mysqld]
     innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2

    and it reduced my Nagios startup time from more than 3 minutes to only
    30 seconds!

Note that this change can mean you might lose a second or two of data
in the event of a database crash, but for me that's no problem.

A few other solutions have been discussed in this email list recently
including adding indexes and limiting the amount of data held.  It
would probably benefit you to do a search for MySQL in the email list
archives.

Cheers,

Jim

There are different ways for achieving this, I looked at 3 tools before
setting up our system:


   1. MRTG : Easy to configure, plugin for generating alarms available in
   the nagios default plugins, bad visualization (static html pages)
   2. Cacti: Good visualization, difficult integration to nagios, graphic
   configuration difficult to automate.
   3. check_snmp_int + pnp4nagios: Excellent visualization (zoom, pdf
   generation and calendar in pnp4nagios). Stable plugin with support for
   regular expressions for selecting interfaces.

All the options will give you a good overview of the bandwidth usage. I use
the 3rd one since the integration to nagios is simple and the visualization
is very good. Both pnp4nagios and check_snmp_int are available in the nagios
exchange site.

Cheers

Thanks Alan and Mark for your responses....

I'm not familiar with NDOUtils -- do both your approaches require  
that?  Also, what are good frontends or Perl modules for  utlizing  
the NDO data once it's in the database?

Thanks,

Peter

The NDOUtils manual posted on the Nagios website is about two years old, so I have a question for this group.

The manual states that MySQL is the only dB that is supported.  Is this still true?
I'm hoping that someone has ported this to Oracle.

Subject: service dependency and escalations
Message-ID: <BB012BD379D7B046ABE1472D8093C61CF8F91B15@EXCH-C2.corp.cloudmark.com>

We are still running nagios 2.x.

Is it possible to specify a  servicedependency and/or a service escalation within a service definition?
For the serviceescalation part, they are much like servicegroups where it has to be defined somewhere, but after that you can specify the group in the service def, but not the escalation?
iE:        define serviceescalation  {
        name                    15-minute-escalation
        contact_groups          group
        first_notification      2
        last_notification       0
        escalation_period       24x7
        notification_interval   15
        }

It'd be cool if we could then do :
define service {
                Host                       a
                Service_desc     b
                Escalation            15-minute-escalation
                }

For the dependencies:
I run into the situation that a service is dependent on another service on the same host.  Even though this host is in a hostgroup, I can't use the hostgroup to specify the dependencies.
This makes the configs very messy and not easily templatizable.

I've looked at the docs for the config files, but they seem a bit out of date (they don't even say that you can specify hostgroup instead of host_name in a service def).

Is something like this possible for the 3.x series?

Thanks,
-Lori

Thanks for the input - the following seems to work:

Turn off service notification:

 wget --quiet -O - --http-user=myuser --http-password=mypassword --post-data 
'cmd_typ=23&cmd_mod=2&host=myhost&service=myservice&btnSubmit=Commit' 
http://webserver/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi > /dev/null

Turn on service notification:

 wget --quiet -O - --http-user=myuser --http-password=mypassword --post-data 
'cmd_typ=22&cmd_mod=2&host=myhost&service=myservice&btnSubmit=Commit' 
http://webserver/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi > /dev/null

I'd probably put the username and password in a ~nagios/.wgetrc file, so a 
resulting Solaris crontab entry might look like:

# turn on notfications
/usr/bin/su - nagios -c "/usr/local/bin/wget --quiet -O - --post-data 
'cmd_typ=23&cmd_mod=2&host=myhost&service=myservice&btnSubmit=Commit' 
http://webserver/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" > /dev/null 2>&1

I was also able to do this on Windows using GnuWin wget:

C:\PROGRA~1\GnuWin32\bin>wget --quiet -O - --post-data 
"cmd_typ=23&cmd_mod=2&host=myhost&service=myservice&btnSubmit=Commit" 
http://webserver/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi

(.wgetrc becomes c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc)

Subject: blank perfdata: not parsing macros
Message-ID: <20090317163606.DF11E63CE2@mail.verkoso.com>

Hi,

I have nagios3 running (installed via apt-get on Debian). Everything  
worked pretty well until I tried to add graphing support.

As described in numerous how-tos, I added the following to nagios.cfg:

CODE: SELECT ALL
process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file_template=$LASTSERVICECHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\t 
$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEATTEMPT$\t$SERVICESTATETYPE$\t 
$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME$\t$SERVICELATENCY$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t 
$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n
service_perfdata_file_mode=a
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=30
service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata


and kept the default value for the service-perfdata in commands.cfg:

CODE: SELECT ALL
define command{
    command_name    process-service-perfdata
    command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$LASTSERVICECHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$ 
\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEATTEMPT$\t$SERVICESTATETYPE$\t 
$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME$\t$SERVICELATENCY$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t 
$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n" >> /var/lib/nagios3/service-perfdata.out
    }



The trouble is that file /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata  
remains blank (but it does get created), while /var/lib/nagios3/ 
service-perfdata.out gets filled with:
CODE: SELECT ALL
$   glass$   $   $   $   $   $   $   $   $



Glass is the name of localhost. There is a dozen other servers that  
nagios monitors, yet they don't show up in the service-perfdata.out  
file at all. It looks like macros ($LASTSERVICECHECK$, $SERVICEOUTPUT 
$) do not get recognized, but there may be other things going on that  
I have not identified.

All other features of nagios seem to be working fine. Macros  
definitely work in other commands.

Any help is greatly appreciated. If you need any other diagnostic  
info, I will provide it promptly.


Thanks,


M

Subject: Make nagios3 log successful tests
Message-ID: <26face530903171851h2ef2844ew1e44f92fa47d9926@mail.gmail.com>

When a nagios3 host/service test fails, nagios.log has something like this:

SERVICE ALERT: host;service;CRITICAL;SOFT;5;text of some sort

How do I make nagios3 log *successful* tests as well?

One reason: I want to keep perfdata long-term *even if* I don't want
to process it right away.

Another reason: I want to insure that nagios is running its tests as
scheduled.

I'm pretty sure I got nagios2 to do this. Thoughts?

Do I have to pretend I'm going to process the perfdata to make nagios log this?

Subject: no check results posted, no macro expand: solaris 10,
	new install
Message-ID: <49C056E9.70308@sun.com>

All,

I am having difficulty with a new 3.0.6 install on Solaris 10;  check 
results are not being posted to and/or successfully reaped from the temp 
file in var/spool/checkresults

The plugins (eg, /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http) can be 
successfully launched manually, and return the expected results.

The checks are being scheduled & launched, for the hosts and services 
defined.  Most other aspects of the GUI seem as expected.  But no data 
is being reported to the Nagios web app.


To simplify debugging, I am looking only at localhost, as defined in the 
out-of-the-source objects/localhost.cfg
Debugging_level=2
Debuggins_output=16

In the debug fragment below,  Expanded Command Ouput is not expanded; 
the $USER1$, $HOSTADDRESS$ and other macros remain as literals. 

Is this an artifact of the debug logging?  Or might this be part of the 
problem?

A fragment from var/nagios.debug

[] ** Running async check of host 'localhost'...
[] Checking host 'localhost'...
[] Adjusting check attempt number for host 'localhost': current 
attempt=1/10, state=0, state type=1
[] New check attempt number = 1
[] Raw Command Input: $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% 
-c 5000.0,100% -p 5

[] Expanded Command Output: $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5

[] Check result output will be written to 
'/opt/local/nagios-3.0.6/var/spool/checkresults/checkNraWhI' (fd=7)
[] Host check is executing in child process (pid=17909)
[] Starting to reap check results.
[] Starting to read check result queue 
'/opt/local/nagios-3.0.6/var/spool/checkresults'...
[] Finished reaping 0 check results


FYI: I set Debugging_output=256, and every  "Expanded Command Output" is 
not expanded, and every "Reap check results" yeilds 0 check results.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
David

Thank you

I will watch these and would like to ask will groundwork will suit to me?

Also shall I able to integrate groundwork, catci, nagios and mrtg all
together to get the best of all to match a typical distributed network
monitoring including, all network nodes such as ups (snmp enabled - I
guess). Do u know such a effort ?

Thank you

Hi,

i would like to use "Custom Object Variables", but found only examples  
to use them in plugins, eventhandlers etc..
Is it possible to use them in the standard nagios cgi-s and make them  
visible in the nagios web interface?

What kind of graphing support are you trying to add?  There are
various kinds including Nagiosgrapher and PNP.

Don't forget that if the plugin doesn't produce any performance data,
there will be nothing to graph!  Check the service detail screen for
the service you're interested in and check that there is some
performance data there.

I'd recommend installing Nagios using the standard instructions rather
than from the repositories.  You'll learn more about how it works that
way, and will find installation of various add-ons much easier than
battling with whatever directory layout whoever built the packages
decided on.

Cheers,

Jim.

Subject: delay notifications on passive checked services
Message-ID: <49C0D0F1.6010709@ipp.pt>

Hello.

I have configured an UPS to send traps to nagios.
Lately we are experiencing  micro-outages (less than 1 minute) ad that
is causing nagios to send messages OK and CRITICAL every time it happens.
 I wanted nagios to send a notification only when a passive checked
service being on CRITICAL state more than 1 minute (preventing nagios to
send notifications on this micro-outages).

With active checks its possible to specific a how many checks are made
before sending a notification. But im using passive checks.
 
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks
       Jaime

Message-ID: <EF37A6C236BDAC4C9D8F3E5BAEC3722D01361E3D@ibetpex03.bias2000.bettis.gov>

Good morning group!
 
I am still relatively new to nagios and trying to implement nrpe with
nagios 3 at my site.  I believe I have everything setup correctly on
both the nagios server and the client.  When I try to use check_nrpe to
run a script on the client side I am getting the error:
 
    nrpe[]: Error: Request packet had invalid CRC32.
    nrpe[]: Client request was invalid, bailing out...
 
I am running the nagios server on solaris 9 and the client is running
Redhat Linux WS 3 update 6. The version of check_nrpe is 1.9 but the
version of nrpe is 2.12.  I have the system setup to execute the nrpe
daemon through xinetd on the linux client.
 
The server_args line in the nrpe startup file under /etc/xinetd.d has
the following arguments listed per a suggested issue on the internet
asking to redirect standard error to /dev/null:
 
    server_args    = -n -c path_to_nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd 2>&1
/dev/null
 
Also my only_from config is setup to allow the client to receive
requests from the nagios server only.
 
    only_from       = ipaddress_of_nagios_server
 
 
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

How do I use this same Nagios server to monitor remote client networks

The capability is the same between active and passive checks, just  
make sure you have your max_check_attempts where you want it. I'm  
going to guess that you have 'is_volatile' enabled though, which  
causes nagios to send an alert for every non-OK check it receives for  
that service. You'll need to disable that. The side effect is that  
you'll need to reset the service to an OK state before you'll receive  
further notifications.

The problem with trying to do this with SNMP traps is that typically
you only ever get the one trap to show there's a problem and then only
the one trap to show it's okay again, so specifiying the number of
checks won't help you at all.

I expect you could achieve the result you need by setting
"first_notification_delay" in the service definition to 2 (assuming
your interval_length is set to the default 60 seconds this means 2
minutes).  This feature is new in Nagios 3 so if you're using Nagios 2
still you will need to upgrade.

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

It shouldn't be any different than the windows monitoring you're  
presumably doing now with nsclient on your LAN (did you end up using  
that?) Across your LAN or across the world, it's all the same to  
nagios presuming there's network connectivity between the two.

Is there a particular or special issue you have to deal with in that  
case?

Put simply, you monitor the remote systems in exactly the same way as
you already monitor your local ones.  I suggest you might also like to
monitor the routers and switches which connect your remote sites to
your local lan and set up the parent relationships appropriately too.

Somehow I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at though.  Is
there something which is stopping you from simply doing this?  If it's
a firewall in the way for example, you'll need to enable whichever
port numbers you're using to communiicate with NSClient.  By default,
NSClient uses port 1248. If you're using NSClient++ it uses port 12489
by default for NSClient connections and 5666 for nrpe.

I'm not convinced Nagios is entirely suitable for monitoring ordinary
desktop PCs, as people will usually turn them off and on whenever they
like.  There may be some value in receiving SNMP traps from them
though and it might be useful to use it to test they have virus
checker up-to-date and working.  No doubt someone here will come back
with some other reasons to convince me otherwise too.

Cheers,

Jim

I appropriated a spare desktop PC and practiced the upgrade there first. 
  There were a few changes in the nagios.cfg file that I needed to make, 
but it was relatively painless.

I don't think so, but that's how I do things with host groups and 
service groups.  I have the dependencies and escalations defined in 
separate config files, but wildcards let me have one service escalation 
definition, one host escalation definition, and one service dependency 
definition.

I'm running 3.10 right now, and you can put a hostgroup in the 
dependency definition.

I have hundreds of Windows servers monitored.  Occasionally, the agent 
gets starved for resources during backups or otherwise clobbered.  That 
used to cause a slew of notifications, since none of the checks worked, 
but the host could still be pinged.

I set up a service dependency so all the services defined for the 
Windows hosts are dependent on a check of the client's version number. 
The client version is checked more often than the rest of the services. 
  There isn't a threshold: if it's not OK, the client needs to be fixed:

define servicedependency {
	hostgroup_name			dev_windows_servers,windows_servers
	service_description		Client Version
	dependent_service_description	*,!Client Version
	execution_failure_criteria	w,c
	notification_failure_criteria	w,c
}

I use a wildcard to get all the services on the host, but since "Client 
Version" is also one of the services assigned to the 
(dev_)windows_servers hostgroup, I had to add the !Client Version 
exception.  That's the entire contents of my servicedependencies.cfg 
file, though.

For the sake of completeness, here is how I defined the escalations I 
needed:

define serviceescalation {
	hostgroup_name		windows_servers,Agentless_Checks
	service_description	*
	contact_groups		+nogmgr
	first_notification	3
	last_notification	0
}

define hostescalation {
	host_name		*
	contact_groups		+nogmgr
	first_notification	3
	last_notification	0
}

As others have already pointed out, fundamentally, it doesn't matter 
whether the client is on the same network segment, or behind a router.

However, in reality, when you are talking about a "remote" network, most 
of the time you are actually talking about a network that has one or 
more firewalls in front of them. Very often, you have a firewall from 
your local network to the Internet, and a second firewall from the 
Internet to the remote network. And firewalls indeed will interfere with 
with Nagios. Severely.

There are several options for dealing with that:
- Establish a VPN between the local and the remote network. Obviously, 
you can only do that when the two networks completely trust each other. 
Also, if you have several remote networks connecting that way, you may 
inadvertently open security holes between two remote networks.
- Establish an SSH tunnel that just forwards the NRPE requests from the 
local to the remote client. Requires that the remote client trusts you 
enough to establish an SSH connection. Also requires that you have a way 
to monitor the tunnel, and reestablish it if it goes down.
- Open the appropriate ports on the firewalls to allow NRPE traffic 
through. You don't want to do that - monitoring information can be quite 
sensitive, and you don't want it traveling over the Internet in plain text.

There may be more ways to deal with the firewall problem.

The way I solved it is by writing a wrapper around NSClient++ that uses 
NSCA (i.e., passive checks) instead of NRPE, and then wraps the NSCA 
packages in HTTPS. It's primarily for my own in-house use (which is why 
the documentation leaves to be desired), but it is an open source 
project on SourceForge; look for the project name tntmonitoring.

That doesn't work. The nrpe protocol changed between 1.x and 2.x, so
you need to make sure you're using the same (major) version of nrpe
on both ends of the connection.

I faintly remember having to make some modifications to (check_)nrpe
2.x for it to compile cleanly on solaris, although I think that was
an older version of it than yours. If you run into similar problems,
poke me and I'll see if I can find the modified sources somewhere.

Hi All,

 

I am trying snmptrapd's traphandle calls snmptrap2nagios. Have installed
most of the dependencies file for the same. And finally it was looking
for a file snmptrap.cfg which does not exist and when ever a trap comes
in it says

 

Can't locate /usr/local/nagios/etc/snmptraps.cfg in @INC (@INC contains:
/tmp /tmp/../lib /tmp/../etc /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/sun4-solaris-64int

I couldn't find this file anywhere in the system. Please let me know
where I can get this config file.

 

Any feedback or other ways of integrating of Nagios-SNMP will be

Hello List 

I am trying to write a plugin to count the number of connection of a specific type on a port .
I wrote the script that gives me the output i require and running the script on the machine i need it it works well .

The problem is when i am trying to execute the script via NPRE , i added the command and params to the nrpe.cfg and run the test , and the result returning to the nagios server is always a numeric  "0" , when i put a text string  it returns the string no problem , but when i try to add a number from a variable , it shows only 0 .

actuall script line :

if [ "$1" = "2598" ]; then
        W=`lsof -Pn -i | grep squid | grep ESTABLISHED | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | grep 2598 | wc -l`
        echo "Number of connections is "$W
        exit 0
fi

from the messages log :
Running command: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_squid_citrix.sh 2598

running from the nagios server:

Any ideas why i am only getting the  0 output ?

Thanks for the reply.

I am trying to add support for Nagiosgrapher. So far it does not pick  
up any information - not surprisingly since the files are blank.

The plugins do show performance data on the detail screen, so that  
part must be working: they are actually producing it.

It looks like I am missing something very basic. It's as if the  
context is lost when it tries to execute the process-service-perfdata  
command. Most macros do not get parsed, although $USER1$ as well as  
$ARG1$ and so on get recognized.

Looking at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html it  
appears that a number of macros are supported for Service Perf Data,  
but that's not the behaviour I see.


Other than compiling from source, any other tips?


Thanks,


M

Subject: RESEND: orphaned check, no check results posted,
 no macro expand: solaris 10, new install]
Message-ID: <49C10CE9.90708@sun.com>

All,

Should I be seeing the following lack of macro expansion in nagios.debug?

In nagios.debug:
================
[] Raw Command Input: $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% 
-c 5000.0,100% -p 5
[] Expanded Command Output: $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5

[] Finished reaping 0 check results


In nagios.log:
==============
Warning: The check of host 'localhost' looks like it was orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate c
heck of the host...



Nagios 3.0.8
Plugins 1.4.13
Solaris 10 10/08

Fresh, first install of Nagios from source, using documentation & Fedaora quick start guide


If this is not the correct forum for this type of question, kindly point me to the proper one.

Thanks,

EARLIER POST: 

I am having difficulty with a new 3.0.6 install on Solaris 10;  check 
results are not being posted to and/or successfully reaped from the temp 
file in var/spool/checkresults. No errors are

The plugins (eg, /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http) can be 
successfully launched manually, and return the expected results.

The checks are being scheduled & launched, for the hosts and services 
defined.  Most other aspects of the GUI seem as expected.  But no data 
is being reported to the Nagios web app.


To simplify debugging, I am looking only at localhost, as defined in the 
out-of-the-source objects/localhost.cfg
Debugging_level=2
Debuggins_output=16

In the debug fragment below,  Expanded Command Ouput is not expanded; 
the $USER1$, $HOSTADDRESS$ and other macros remain as literals. 

Is this an artifact of the debug logging?  Or might this be part of the 
problem?

A fragment from var/nagios.debug

[] ** Running async check of host 'localhost'...
[] Checking host 'localhost'...
[] Adjusting check attempt number for host 'localhost': current 
attempt=1/10, state=0, state type=1
[] New check attempt number = 1
[] Raw Command Input: $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% 
-c 5000.0,100% -p 5

[] Expanded Command Output: $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5

[] Check result output will be written to 
'/opt/local/nagios-3.0.6/var/spool/checkresults/checkNraWhI' (fd=7)
[] Host check is executing in child process (pid=17909)
[] Starting to reap check results.
[] Starting to read check result queue 
'/opt/local/nagios-3.0.6/var/spool/checkresults'...
[] Finished reaping 0 check results


FYI: I set Debugging_output=256, and every  "Expanded Command Output" is 
not expanded, and every "Reap check results" yeilds 0 check results.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
David

Subject: Nagios plugins compile errors on OS X 10.3 Server
Message-ID: <49C10DBA.5030603@gmail.com>

I'm having some issues compiling Nagios (natively, not through MacPorts, 
etc) on two Mac servers. One is running 10.3, the other 10.4. Both are 
PPC. Neither can be updated to 10.5 due to third party s/w constraints.

On the 10.3 server, after running ./configure it seems to end okay, but 
I see the following when running "make all":

    configure: creating ./config.status
    config.status: creating gl/Makefile
    config.status: creating Makefile

Obviously it would seem that I might need a newer version of Autoconf? 
Any thoughts on a workaround or where I can get autoconf 2.59 or higher 
for OS X 10.3 Server?

The sudo was in place - but silly me - i forgot that the sudoers file has a specific list of 
commands that the nagios user have sudo permissions to run .

Adding the new script to the file did solve the issue.

But thank you for reminding me this slight oversight .

A couple possible problems here...
	- use full paths to every program (lsof, grep, wc). The environment  
available to the script when run by NRPE may not have the $PATH you  
expect.
	- are you sure that lsof is returning results you expect when run by  
a non-root user? From my own testing, running '/usr/sbin/lsof -Pn -i'  
as root returns results but when run as a normal user, nothing is  
returned.

Your script is exiting with an exit code of 3. In the script above you  
always exit with a 0. Why the difference? Under what conditions does  
your script 'exit 3'?

As the NRPE user?

Disregard. I pulled down m4 and automake from the GNU site, compiled 
them and put /usr/local/bin into my path and all is fine.

I don't use nagios-3 yet but I believe it might depend on the  
debug_verbosity without looking at the actual code. Here is an example  
where it was shown as expanded after the second loop through MACRO  
PROCESSING -- http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.devel/4737

> FYI: I set Debugging_output=256, and every  "Expanded Command

Did you mean debug_level? is debug_verbosity set to 2?

Subject: problem starting nagios
Message-ID: <699b436a0903181013s1b70c224l9aea2421449b897f@mail.gmail.com>

First of all please dont bother because the reply is too big. I need to get
this stuff done , been fighting with this for a while and finally came here
for help .
Sorry i was out for a conference , and thats why could not reply to you in
time.

1) What does nagios.log have to say?

 Error: Could not create external command file
'/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' as named pipe: (2) -> No such file or
directory.  If this fi
le already exists and you are sure that another copy of Nagios is not
running, you should delete this file.
[1237394094] Bailing out due to errors encountered while trying to
initialize the external command file... (PID=31557)

2) Do you see the process running in the ps list?

no , i dont see any proces running

3) Can you run nagios in the foreground as root (/usr/local/nagios/bin/
nagios /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg)?

This is what i see when i run this .and to tell you i dint create time
period which i think is no way related to this problem:

When run as nagios user i see same thing as above

In daemon mode as the nagios user (/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /
usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg)?

when i run this , and press enter it takes it but doesnt show anything ,
meaning like this:

[nagios at DELL8B81Y11 ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
[nagios at DELL8B81Y11 ~]$

Is there anything special about the mount point that nagios lives under?

no there is no such special mount point



Thanks in adv

Thanks Marc,

For the URL:

I see that the debug_level needs to be set to 2048 to capture macro 
expansion.

Debug_verbosity=2

I've restarted and will continue troubleshooting.

Any Error's will prevent nagios from starting. That's a pretty common  
convention for daemons. You must fix the three configuration errors  
above before nagios will start.

For the first two errors, you have host{} and service{} definitions  
that reference other definitions named 'generic-host' and 'generic- 
service'. They do not exist in a cfg file that you've told nagios to  
load. Use grep to find which file they exist in and make sure it's  
listed as a cfg_file in nagios.cfg.

For the last error, nagios has been told to listen for external  
commands but is unable to create the 'file' needed to do that under / 
usr/local/nagios/var/rw. Does that directory exist and is it owned and  
readable/writable by the nagios user? If you installed from source, I  
believe the make command to do that is 'make install-commandmode' from  
within the nagios source tree, or you can just create the rw directory  
(but not the nagios.cmd file) and give it nagios ownership and rwx  
permissions.

Subject: Circular Map setup
Message-ID: <1237400180.5381.0@antares>

Hi all,

I use Nagios to monitor several servers, redundant switches, and  
Windows PC's and printers.  Works perfectly, except for the circular  
status map...  The problem is that the icons of the components in the  
"outer ring" are overlapping (see attached screenshot).  Is there any  
way to influence the placement of icons in the circular map?

Thanks in advance, Albrecht.

I use NagTrap.  It's probably not everyone's cup of tea but is easy to
install and maintain (compared with the scripts I used before anyway).

I would suggest you try PNP4Nagios, but again if you installed Nagios
from repositories you're going to find it more difficult to get it
working than if you installed it from source.

You could try specifying 2d_coords in your host definitions.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host

But I recommend you try either NEXSM (can be tricky to install but is
great for large networks) or the automap feature in NagVis (easy to
install, but requires a MySQL database).

hth,

Jim

Subject: Stuck on NRPE for OS X Server
Message-ID: <49C1529C.2030106@gmail.com>

I have two Mac OS X servers, one running 10.3, the other running 10.4. 
Neither can be upgraded to 10.5 due to third party s/w constraints. Both 
are PPC based XServe's.

Trying to compile nrpe with:

    ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --enable-ssl

Initially, I got the "cannot find ssl libraries" error:

    ~
    checking for SSL headers... SSL headers found in /usr/local/ssl
    checking for SSL libraries... configure: error: Cannot find ssl
    libraries

I downloaded the latest openssl and built it with:

    ./config --prefix=/usr/local shared --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl
    make
    make test
    make install

I then had to edit ~/src/nrpe/configure and change the reference from 
libssl.so to libssl.dylib

After that, nrpe compiled cleanly and I was able to move 
~src/nrpe/src/nrpe to /usr/local/sbin and start xinetd up. I've 
confirmed that port 5666 is open and xinetd is running:

    /usr/local/src/nrpe-2.12/src root# ps waux|grep xinet|grep -v
    greproot   29066   0.0 -0.0    27484    308  ??  Ss    3:53PM  
    0:00.02 /usr/sbin/xinetd -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid -stayalive
    /usr/local/src/nrpe-2.12/src root# netstat -an|grep 5666tcp4      
    0      0  *.5666                 *.*                    LISTEN

However, when connecting from the remote server, I get:

    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H host.mydomain.org
    CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

The same test but w/o SSL gives yields:

    [nagios at nephilim src]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -n -H
    host.mydomain.org
    CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server
    logs for error messages.

So two questions:

1) I'm a UNIX guy, but obviously Mac's are A) different and B) a tad 
different being BSD-based. So what's the proper way to stop/restart the 
xinetd daemon?
2) Any thoughts on SSL handshake error? I've googled it, but I'm not 
getting very far.

Anyone have a step-by-step for compiling nagios plugins and NRPE from 
source on OS X 10.x (specifically 10.3 and 10.4)? I'm using NRPE for all 
other internal hosts, so I prefer to use it for the Mac's too. I know I 
could do it via check_by_ssh and get around this, but I prefer to use 
NRPE if I can.

FYI: /var/log/system.log on the client shows:

Mar 18 16:08:07 shu xinetd[29066]: START: nrpe pid=557 from=10.1.1.170
Mar 18 16:08:07 shu nrpe[557]: Error: NRPE daemon cannot be run as 
user/group root!

whether I do the default test (with SSL) or use the -n flag to test w/o 
SSL. The odd thing is that the nrpe config in /etc/xinetd.d is set to 
run as nobody:nobody and /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg is owned by nobody:nobody. 
Only /usr/local/sbin/nrpe is owned by root (as it should be), but is 
also set to 755 perms. I've compared to a Linux box I have with NRPE and 
xinetd working properly and the permissions are identical.

I'm stumped...

If I'm reading this correctly, the line about "NRPE daemon cannot be run 
as user/group root!" is directly from the source code of NRPE. Its not 
an xinetd thing. I've confirmed that xinetd is running and listening on 
port 5666. I tried changing the owner/group from nobody:nobody to 
another unprivileged user, but it didn't work. Same results. It appears 
that despite my configuring the /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg and the 
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe files to use a user other than root, it still tries 
to start it as the root user and thus when an incoming connection comes 
in, it gives the "NRPE daemon cannot be run as user/group root!" error. 
Any thoughts on how to rectify this? Since NRPE is working fine on 
Linux, is this just a Mac OS X thing? Any help would be immensely 
appreciated.

On a Mac, your xinetd is a bolt-on over the launchd that's there by default;
you've obviously got it running.  Since you're in /etc/xinetd.d/<something>,
you need to cnfigure a different username via xinetd's config.  Look for a
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file, or similar, containing the config for your nrpe
service.  I tend to grep for the port number in order to find the file.
Remember to check /local/*

The time service has an example with juicy comments:


service time
{
# This is for quick on or off of the service
        disable         = yes
...
...
# External services must fill out the following
#       user            =
#       group           =
...
...
}


Take a look there, see if you can choose a better username and/or group and
if your port of xinetd honours it.  I don't know if you have a nrpe user, or
run it as nobody.

A better option would be a proper launchd config, allowing you to shutdown
xinetd if you're installing it there for this purpose only, but then it's a
Mac-only thing, and would be more difficult to maintain for non-Mac people.

Subject: Host checks instead of service checks
In-Reply-To: <84836290D5AD43418C40DCF0C4A54ED38E3B44@kogex02.pmpl.co.uk>

Using check_dummy with a service check titled "No Services" is exactly  
how we are doing this here. We have a number of hosts which we are  
really only interested in if the machine is running or not - so  
check_icmp is specified as the host check, and "No services" as the  
only service check. You are right, however, in that all these "No  
Services" show up in the service status list. If you don't want that,  
about the only way I can think of is to not associate any services  
with the host, and simply ignore the warnings you get about that when  
running nagios -v. This does cause some display issues, however (hosts  
without services tend to not show up in various screens) - thus the  
reason I opted to add the "No services" service.

Subject: check_jmx plugin chokes on more than 2Gb memory
Message-ID: <BD3B2551-FC29-48D0-9C90-98332EC0153D@gmail.com>

Old message, but I had the same problem. check_jmx  was built using  
Integer's for numbers and the Java Integer type is not able to handle  
values larger than 2^31-1(2147483647.) When you pass a value larger  
than this NumberFormatException is thrown. I have no idea who the  
original author is, but the source code was with the bundle I  
downloaded so I've updated it to use a Long rather than an Integer and  
values up to 2^63-1 are now supported.

I have uploaded the patched version to NagiosExchange at http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F3002.html;d=1

Hope it helps.

Hi All,

 

I enabled debug level to 2 and I am getting following log message in the

I have managed to resolve this now. I got rid of using nrpe to monitor the remote hosts and just used the plugin on the remote server with snmp correctly configured.

Nagios server version: nagios-2.9-1.el4.rf
Platform: redhat 4ES x86_64
Hpasm version:hpasm-7.8.0-88.rhel4

I am trying to get the Nagios server to report on it's own health status as well as other servers using the check_hpasm plugin

The configuration for local monitoring is:

define service{
        use                              local-service
        host_name                        monitor
        service_description              HP Server Health
        servicegroups                    server
        check_command                    check_hpasm!public
        }


define command{
command_name check_hpasm
command_line $USER1$/check_hpasm -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$
}

This is working fine in Nagios so hpasm -v is working  and parsing information. Now I am a bit confused with getting the remote monitoring to work.

Remote host hpasm version: hpasm-7.8.0-88.rhel4
nrpe daemon is installed as well as check_hpasm is installed
nrpe.config:
Added:

command[check_hpasm]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_hpasm -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public



define command{
       command_name    check_remote_hpasm
       command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_hpasm -C $ARG1$
       }

define service{
        use                              local-service
        host_name                        remote
        service_description              HP Server Overall Health
        servicegroups                    server
       check_command                    check_remote_hpasm!public
        }

Error from Nagios: No ouput from plugin.

>From a command line:
./check_nrpe -H monitor -c check_hpasm -C public

./check_nrpe: invalid option -- C

Can someone help me. What am I doing wrong.

Marc,

That network connectivity is the internet. There's not site-to-site VPN 
connection involved here. Sure, I could make one, but if I can do this 
without it would be better. I would rather not have to deploy an 
expensive router (Sonicwall TZ190) at every client site where I'm going 
to setup monitoring.

The other thing that bothers me is this: On my LAN where the nag server 
resides, using active checks I can check windows servers easily for all 
the important stuff like Exchange, MS SQL, etc... however I've not seen 
so far any discernible method of doing this with the NSClient since 
those checks are passive I'm completely dependent on what data that 
client sends me.

Without a site-to-site VPN I can see no way to accomplish what needs to 
be done.

Basically I'd like to be able to do what I can do locally on remote 
networks across the internet without the added layer of a site-to-site VPN.

The reason for my Nagios setup is to get away from expensive and over 
priced Kaseya deployments. As a small business I offer managed services 
for small to medium sized businesses. I need a monitoring tool. Kaseya 
is ok, but is a pain in my ass because it only runs on one platform and 
I don't particularly care of MS SQL as the backend I've got to depend on 
if the thing breaks. I'd much rather use Linux and MySQL.

I've looked at Pandora, which has clients for the various platforms, but 
isn't quite as easy to setup as Nagios is. ( I can't believe I just said 
that!!) So I'm weighing my options here so see which platform is going 
to work best for my business and what I'm offering clients.

Thank you Keven... this sounds like a good direction to take. How do I 
address the need to do active checks on machines on the remote network 
behind their firewall, or is there more configuration that can be done 
to the NSClient than I'm currently aware of?

I doubt there should be a problem having all of the checks passive.
NSClient++ has nsca functionality built-in now.  I think it's
currently beta status, but I've been using it for months in a similar
situation here (remote site on one-way VPN) without any problems.
Admittedly, I didn't bother trying to set up passive host checks as I
was more interested in the performance data than anything else.  Of
course this means you can only really monitor nodes which are able to
send passive checks (Unix  and Windows hosts and not much else) unless
you script some checks on those hosts to montitor the other stuff.

Alternatively, you might consider installing a small Nagios server on
each customer site.  You could then, if you wish, configure it only to
send a check result back to your central Nagios server if any state
changes, and send the occasional heartbeat check to make sure it's
working.  The advantage of this is that you can monitor whatever you
like (printers, switches, etc,) on the customer site and keep the
amount of bandwidth used down to an absolute minimum (if that's
important to you).  It also means that your customer can have a view
of how their systems are doing even if their internet connection is
down at the time and it means you can guarantee that one customer
can't see the status of another customer's systems.

You will of course need to enable the relevant ports in your firewall
to allow the incoming passive connections (regardless of which method
you choose).

Cheers,

Jim

Originally, it was set to nobody:nobody. As a test, I set it to 
daemon:wheel. In all cases, it gives the "cannot run as root" error. I 
guess I can try making a Nagios user & group and testing with that.

TNTMonitoring can call any plugin you like. It simply uses the standard 
plugin API (i.e., it uses the standard return codes and takes the 
results from stdout).

So if you want an active check, just add the corresponding plugin to 
TNTMonitoring's plugin directory (Windows, not Linux, executables of 
course) and add a .config file for it in the main TNTMonitoring 
directory. It will then get called every five minutes, along with all 
the other plugins. In fact, two of the my own plugins can scan the whole 
Windows domain up to, I think, 60 or so computers (there is a Windows 
limit that I haven't yet bothered to get around), and report on the 
status of the antivirus software and the hard disk health, respectively. 
I ship them with TNTMonitoring, but they are also in a separate 
Sourceforge project.

I think NSClient++ also has similar functionality for calling any plugin 
you like and submit the results, but of course then you are restricted 
to NSCA as a transport. That is why I am not using NSClient++ for that 
purpose.

 From the Nagios server's perspective, it will of course still be a 
passive check. It has to be; in fact, one of my design goals was to 
allow all checks to run as passive checks and eliminate the need for 
active checks within the remote network. The only way to make it an 
active check would be to bidirectionally connect the two networks, and 
that is something you would want to avoid from a security perspective.

Subject: problem starting nagios
Message-ID: <699b436a0903190705l1ce6ad3dic492d50576169ea5@mail.gmail.com>

Error: Could not create external command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/
> rw/nagios.cmd' as named pipe: (2) -> No such file or directory.  If

The above error dissapeared as soon i created the rw directory inside
/usr/local/nagios/var

This time i could see nagios as a proces running:

[root at DELL8B81Y11 subsys]# ps -ef | grep nagios
nagios    1992     1  0 09:47 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
-d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

But when i type http://localhost/nagios/ i get the nagios open up page but
then when i click host detail i see

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>500 Internal Server Error</title>

I also checked the /var/log/httpd/error_log :

Subject: NRPE installation issue on solaris 9
Message-ID: <6db4a4200903190712r2185a8a8uab160c85d9137743@mail.gmail.com>

I am trying to install nagios plugins and nrpe on solaris 9.  I am getting
the following error.


Nagios built with the following options:

$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/nrpe-2.12 --enable-command-args --disable-ssl

*** Configuration summary for nrpe 2.12 03-10-2008 ***:

 General Options:
 -------------------------
 NRPE port:    5666
 NRPE user:    nagios
 NRPE group:   nagios
 Nagios user:  nagios
 Nagios group: nagios

$ make all
[...]
gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o nrpe nrpe.c utils.c  -lnsl -lsocket  ./snprintf.o
-liberty
nrpe.c: In function ?get_log_facility?:
nrpe.c:617: error: ?LOG_AUTHPRIV? undeclared (first use in this function)
nrpe.c:617: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
nrpe.c:617: error: for each function it appears in.)
nrpe.c:619: error: ?LOG_FTP? undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [nrpe] Error 1

Are there special Solaris patches for nrpe?

Sorry to bother you but I have just read you are working in order to 
graph plugins output. I need your help about it. What tool should I use 
to graph, for instance, historical hard disk partition usage?

Thanks

Message-ID: <49C258E7.1050208@iris.uh.cu>

I need to put into graphs some plugin outputs. Some of them I did by 
myself, so, I need to know: what tool to use to make graphs, and  the
output format for those plugins made by me.

Yes, that is something I'd considered, but as long as I can I'd like to 
keep from deploying multiple nag servers, although there are instances 
existing now where that wouldn't be a problem.

Nagios is an adventure and a challenge and one I'm really starting to 
enjoy now that the learning curve has started to level a wee bit.

Subject: Stuck on NRPE for OS X Server

One person suggested my openssl version might be too new (0.9.8). I just 
removed it and installed 0.9.7i, older enough version to be safe and one 
that I know another user has in a working configuration. After compiling 
it, I then recompiled NRPE against it and copied the files in place. It 
still fails with the same error.

/var/log/system.log shows:

    Mar 19 10:45:17 seth xinetd[26057]: Started working: 1 available service
    Mar 19 10:45:25 seth nrpe[26064]: Error: NRPE daemon cannot be run
    as user/group root!

I had it set to run as nobody:nobody, but that wasn't working. I even 
tried setting to run as daemon:wheel, but the same results. Finally, I 
created a nagios user and configured /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe to run as 
nagios:nagios and updated /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg to use the same. However, 
all remote tests still result in the following:

 From the server:

    [nagios at nagios ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H seth
    CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

 From the client:

    Mar 19 10:45:17 seth xinetd[26057]: Started working: 1 available service
    Mar 19 10:45:25 seth nrpe[26064]: Error: NRPE daemon cannot be run
    as user/group root!

Scouring Google shows that the "cannot be run as ... root" error is in 
the nrpe.c code. What I can't figure out is why its trying to run as 
root instead of the configured user...

Anyone running NRPE with xinetd for Mac's? I'm frustrated enough that I 
almost just want to use check_by_ssh, but I'd prefer to get this working 
and keep things consistent (ie: with NRPE). My /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg and 
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe are below:

    seth:/etc/xinetd.d root# pwd
    /etc/xinetd.d
    seth:/etc/xinetd.d root# cat nrpe
    # /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
    # description: NRPE
    # default: on
    service nrpe
    {
            flags           = REUSE
            socket_type     = stream
            port        = 5666
            wait            = no
            user            = nagios
            group           = nagios
            server          = /usr/local/sbin/nrpe
            server_args     = -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd
            log_on_failure  += USERID
            disable         = no
            only_from       = 127.0.0.1 10.1.1.170
    }

    # 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

    # 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

    # which is either a file pointed to by the environment valiable
    $RANDFILE
    # or $HOME/.rnd. If neither exists, the pseudo random number

    # 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...

You can use Pnp4Nagios (www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/start). This will use the performance data plugin output. A plugin output can be cut in two parts: the message printed in Nagios and the data used to make graphs. Read the Nagios documentation, section Plugin API for more information, or the guidelines for plugin development (http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN203).

Pnp4Nagios will read the perfdata, analyse it through a Perl script and create some graphs.

I need to put into graphs some plugin outputs. Some of them I did by

output format for those plugins made by me.

What steps have you taken so far to configure your web server? If  
you've followed the installation docs then the apache configuration is  
likely correct (you could post that to be sure).

Do you have SELinux enabled? Have you granted permission for apache to  
execute CGI's located in /usr/local/nagios/sbin/?

Hi Andrew;

I'm not convinced xinetd is running nrpe for you.  As a simple test, try
changing the port number from 5666 in /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe, but leave it as
5666 in nrpe.cfg, and see if you can connect on the old or new port -- just
to ensure that the port is serviced as a hand-off from xinetd.  (5666 or
5556?)  Normally I'd confirm this with a "sudo netstat -pant" but I don't
know the equivalent on MacOSX, so I'm suggesting quick molestation for
proof, even though I see the "only 127.0.0.1" setting in nrpe.cfg.

You might want to run xinetd with "-d" option for debugging spam; it also
doesn't background the process, so run on a different terminal.  Looking for
confirmation that xinetd is changing user after accept()/fork().

Hi all,

	I have a number of UPS devices to monitor.  We're looking to alert on
conditions such as On Battery, On Bypass, and possibly others.  I can
create service entries for each condition, but that causes multiple SNMP
queries to be sent to the same device.  So I'm wondering if there is a
way to query once and alert based on the response.

Thanks,

i would create a custom notification command that does an eval on the
$SERVICEOUTPUT$ before issuing /bin/mail.

then create a contact to use that new notification command.

Ok, that handles notification, but the object would still show as
warning/critical in the web interface with (likely) a generic name.  For
my UPS example, you'd have the "UPS Status" service in a warning or
critical state, but nothing else to go on...

Or should I create a custom check_snmp plugin that reports meaningful
info for status information rather than just a generic message like
"SNMP CRITICAL - *4*" ....

It seems this will end up with me writing lots of plugins/notification
commands customized for each type of service/alert...  Before I go down
that path, I wanted to make sure there wasn't a more generic method for
handling this.

Thanks!

You might want to configure your email program properly. A lot of
people on this list read emails in plain-text only, and your
plaintext messages contain no newlines what so ever. I didn't even
bother trying to decipher the garbage you sent, but a lot of HTML
tags stuck out.

If you really pasted an entire webpage in your email, you should
probably just pay someone to help you, because you lack the very
fundamental thing that is absolutely necessary for anyone here
to be even slightly interested in giving you aid of any kind.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.

Not without writing a custom plugin but this would be a pretty simple/ 
straightforward plugin to write in just about any language. In  
pseudocode --

Get IP to poll from command line
$output = snmp query of On Battery OID on IP #can be check_snmp  
command or snmpget or whatever
if ($output = bad value) {
	print "On Battery Status is bad"
	exit (2) #CRITICAL Status
}
$output = snmp query of On Bypass OID on IP
if ($output = bad value) {
	print "On Bypass Status is bad:"
	exit (2)
}
$output = snmp query of other status on IP
if ($output = bad value) {
	print "Other status is bad"
	exit (2)
}
(rinse, wash, repeat)
#nothing bad detetected, let's exit OK.
exit (0) # OK Status.

As part of your testing for bad values you'll probably want to make  
sure that the snmp query actually worked but in general, that's the  
core of the process above.

As with any executable that requires dynamic libraries, you'll need to make 
sure the location of that library is included in the library path before
the program that requires it is run.

Since this is a CGI, you'll probably want to set the path correctly
before the webserver is started up.

That would be why -- there's no match for the trap you're receiving in
your SNMPTT configs.

Assuming you've got all the debugging turned on, I'd look in the handler
debug log to see what you're getting there, if anything, and make sure
it matches what's in your configs.

At this point you don't have a Nagios issue, you have an SNMPTT problem.

Have you checked out the logs? Is there anything in them?

Have you tried running the insert command manually to see what happens?

Is it creating RRD files where it's supposed to? Is there data in them?

Just wanted to update the mailing list on how this was fixed.

All howtos mention that you need to add a line:

process_performance_data=1

to nagios.cfg

But what they fail to mention is that further down in the default  
nagios.cfg there is a line like this:

process_performance_data=0

So if you add your new config lines close to the top of the file, they  
get happily overwritten by the defaults at the bottom.
This mistake will bite you regardless if you install from repositories  
or compile from source.


The rest is history.

Hi Patrick,

Here are my answers.  I hope they give some insight as to the problem.  Thank you.

> Have you checked out the logs? Is there anything in them?

Here is a sample of my /var/log/nagiosgraph.log file.  I had the debugging level at (4).  I don't see any INSERT into information though:

Thu Mar 19 13:34:42 2009 insert.pl warn - perfdata not recognized:
date||host||desc||out||data for:
servicedescr: PING
output: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.35 ms
perfdata:
Thu Mar 19 13:34:52 2009 insert.pl warn - perfdata not recognized:
date||host||desc||out||data for:
servicedescr: PING
output: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 99.64 ms
perfdata:

> Have you tried running the insert command manually to see what happens?

When I run the insert.pl command manually I get this.

The graph "template" displays on the page.  That's it though.  There is no data displaying.  According to the last modified date in "reach_media," the graph was last updated on the 12th, the day I installed the program.  Shouldn't the last modified date be now, since the graph continually is updated by insert.pl?

Anyone know of a native memory test (preferably with statistical info) 
for OS X? The few I've tried either look for "free" (part of procps 
which doesn't compile on OS X) or vmstat (not vm_stat) geared for 
Solaris. I'd prefer something perhaps in perl that calls vm_stat or 
greps from "top". Anyone aware of any?

Thanks much. FYI: I know for sure that xinetd was doing it as if I set
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe to "disable=yes", then did a "kill -HUP
<xinetd_proc_id>, then a netstat -an|grep 5666 it would be listening
anymore. Further, /var/log/system.log showed one service removed for
xinetd. When I reversed this process, it was again listening on 5666 and
system.log showed one service added for xinetd.

That said, I gave up and just did check_by_ssh for these servers. The
plugins all built cleanly. Only NRPE had issues.

Thanks for the cautionary tale.  I'm glad you found it so quickly.
That kind of thing can be stared at for weeks before being found out.

I take a look at your script, its very useful while the development guys don't fix the issue, thanks. I believe that a better approach is to change your script to schedule a new service check through nagios pipe. What you think about that?

Using pipe we can insert a new service check to our Nagios and this server can schedule service checks dinamically.

I like to implement .htpasswd so users can log in using their Active
Directory user name and password to have a basic view of Nagios
interface (as in a 'normal user') At the moment I have htpasswd.users
with only one user - nagiosadmin. I would like to keep the nagiosadmin
user to handle the admin. tasks. Everyone else will get a normal
active directory login.

Thanks for any help.

You can use LDAP-authentication in Apache and file-based-authentication
parallel.


<DirectoryMatch (/usr/share/nagios3/htdocs|/usr/lib/cgi-bin/)>
	Options FollowSymLinks

	DirectoryIndex index.html

	AllowOverride AuthConfig
	Order Allow,Deny
	Allow From All

	AuthName "Nagios Access"
	AuthType Basic
	AuthUserFile /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users

	# LDAP Auth
	AuthBasicProvider ldap file
	AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
	AuthLDAPBindDN "ACCOUNT"
	AuthLDAPBindPassword "PASSWORD"
	AuthLDAPURL "ldap://dc.foobar.de:389/ou=test,dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=de?sAMAccountName?sub?(ObjectClass=*)"

	require valid-user
</DirectoryMatch>


BUT all your AD-users need to be a defined contact in your Nagios
configuration and one little stupid thing is: the AD doesn't care for
case-sensitivity while Apache/Nagios do. So "John", "JOHN" and "john"
can successfully login but if Nagios knows only john, then John and JOHN
wont see anything. Haven't found a solution here, I just told everyone nit
to use capitals :-)

Strangely enough, this error message points to where you will find
your problem (or at least the beginning of it anyway).

If you look in /etc/nagios/objects/kfsi/kfsi-hosts.cfg somewhere at
line 181 or soon after you will find a "use" directive.  This is
trying to use a template called "windows-desktop" which you have not
defined properly anywhere.

Have a look in /etc/nagios/global/templates/templates.cfg and if you
can't find the template, then define one.  You can probably copy
another host template which is already in that file.

If, however, you think the template is already there, you might find
you've forgotten to put "register 0" to indicate it's a template, and
you might also have put "host_name windows-desktop" which would be
wrong for a template definition.  It should be "name windows-desktop".
 Without seeing your actual files I can't say for sure.

If you're still stuck, please post the relevent parts of
/etc/nagios/objects/kfsi/kfsi-hosts.cfg and
/etc/nagios/global/templates/templates.cfg so we can see where the
problem lies.

hth,

Jim

I have Cisco router with interface int0.
This is 10 Mb link where 2 types of traffic is:
- VoIP
- DATA

Does Nagios is able to monitor separatly VoIP traffic and data traffic on that one interface ?

Thanks,

Thank you Jim... you were correct; there was no template 
"windows-desktop" defined in templates.cfg. DOH! I should have seen 
that. Been working at it so much I guess I need to back up and breath.

Thanks again Jim for the perspective. Brain is working again. :)

Hello 

I am getting this error when trying to run Check_host_alive on some of my hosts configured in

I have 307 hosts in status "Up"  and 41 in status : "Pending"
when i try to force a host check i get the an error in the debug log .

I tried to google this and got some very confusing hits on code changes need to be done .

Can anyone explain in simple way how to fix this issue ?

On the face of it, this is saying that you don't have a check_command  
specified for the host. Can you verify and post the host{} definition  
and any templates it uses?

This is a pretty vague question. If this is just a single interface  
and the traffic is not separated out by vlan, then certainly no; it's  
all just data to the router. If it is separated out by vlan then you  
need to determine if the router reports them separately via SNMP as  
well. If it does then you need to locate a plugin that you can specify  
a specific OID or interface name to check; there are a few at  
nagiosexchange.org that can...

No need... If you just want to have two different groupings, create  
two hostgroups and assign hosts to their respective group.

If you want to limit the views (i.e. production contacts only see  
production servers), then you'll need to enable Authorization/ 
Authentication for nagios. When that is configured, users must log in  
and can only see hosts and services that they are contacts for (you  
can use role accounts that everyone knows).

I don't want to be a pest about this; I'm pulling teeth trying to get this to work.  Does anyone have a clue how to get this working?  I went out and bought the "Nagios, System and Network Monitoring" book by "Wolfgang Barth" last night for a reference.  Chapter 19 talks about Nagiosgraph.  After reading through the first few sections showing you how to set up Nagiosgraph, it looks almost identical to the INSTALL instructions that comes with the Nagsiosgraph package.

After looking at the graphs again this morning, it looks like some of the hosts (like PING) had data on the graphs for a short period of time last night and, then, nothing again.  What is going on?  What am I missing?  Why did it work for a short period of time and, then, not?

The graph "template" displays on the page.  That's it though.  There is no data displaying.  According to the last modified date in "reach_media," the graph was last updated on the 12th, the day I installed the program.  Shouldn't the last modified date be now, since the graph continually is updated by insert.pl?

Have you checked out the logs? Is there anything in them?

Have you tried running the insert command manually to see what happens?

Is it creating RRD files where it's supposed to? Is there data in them?

I have some similar problem, I have run insert.pl manually and ir return 
this:

*readline() on closed filehandle PERFLOG at 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagiosgraph/ngshared.pm line 797*

I went to /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagiosgraph/ngshared.pm line 797 and it 
says:


788 sub inputdata () {
789         my @inputlines;
790         if ( $ARGV[0] ) {
791                 @inputlines = $ARGV[0];
792         } elsif ( defined $Config{perflog} ) {
793                 if (-s $Config{perflog}) {
794                         my $worklog = $Config{perflog} . ".nagiosgraph";
795                         rename($Config{perflog}, $worklog);
796                         open PERFLOG, $worklog;
797                         while (<PERFLOG>) {
798                                 push @inputlines, $_;
799                         }
800                         close PERFLOG;
801                         unlink($worklog);
802                 }

I'm sure I configure logs for perfdata correctly:
*service_perfdata_file* in nagios.cfg is the same file that
*perflog* in nagiosgraph.conf. And I'm sure I put all path correctly in 
any file. I use nagiosgraph 1.2.1

Subject: Storing Historical Data into Oracle?
Message-ID: <c4ae53ee0903200648u3f8f6648jf7abe2ab3795552b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm new to Nagios and was wondering about possible strategies for
storing service / host check results in an Oracle database.

I'm aware of an Oracle extension to NDOUtils
(https://www.nagiosforge.org/gf/project/ndoutils_oracle/) but I
believe that it is in a pre-alpha state, which makes it unsuitable for
my particular scenario (which will be the production-level monitoring
of about 200 business-critical hosts with 10+ services on each). I
would be happy to be corrected on this point, but as I said, I'm very
new to Nagios and so I'm making some guesses here.

Anyway, let's say I decide to go the route of catching the service
check results into my database manually, where would be the best place
to start? I'm envisioning some sort of script or service which INSERTs
into the Oracle database after each service/host check is performed.
Does Nagios support this sort of functionality?

Thanks very much folks, I appreciate any help you can offer,

Chris

Yes, nagios can run a custom script after every host/service check  
using the ochp and ocsp options --

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#obsess_over_hosts
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#obsess_over_services

It's most often used for Distributed Monitoring but can be used for  
anything. It's been very reliable in my experience.

I've done a quick search through the SGOS4 mibs and I can't find that  
they expose that status through SNMP. I've found it to be pretty  
normal that they don't expose many BlueCoat specific things...

If you're sysloging to a remote host, you could use one of the  
check_log* plugins to monitor that log file for the alert...

Subject: check_smtp und SMTPS
Message-ID: <22DBECDC-2C9F-45F7-8B72-543B864835F5@kinzesberg.de>

Hi Folks,

I am trying to check a mailserver using SSL:

./check_smtp -H my.server.tld -S -p 465
CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
./check_tcp -H my.server.tld -p 465
TCP OK - 0.002 second response time on port 465|time=0.001616s;;; 
0.000000;10.000000

SMTPS ist in productive use on that server, as you can see check_tcp  
can reach the port, but check_smtp claims not to reach the SMTPS  
service.

I have googled a lot and found that I am not the only one with this  
problem, but found no solution.

Any takers? Thanks in advance,

Dirk

Thanks Marc, I'll take a look into those options and see if I can make
use of them for logging to Oracle.

Cheers,

Subject: Need high frequency ping checks
Message-ID: <1237571883.23384.78.camel@toddb04>

Hello,

	At my organization, our monitoring requirements for our client's WAN
interfaces is to ping them once per second.  I am using Nagios 2.10
(bundled with Groundwork VM 5.2.1).

	I have set interval_length to 1 in nagios.cfg.  Nagios starts to ping
once per second, but then stops for 20-25 seconds at a time before
resuming.  Is there any way to have Nagios ping evenly once per second?
I am attaching the nagios.cfg and copying the relevant portions of it
below.

Thanks for your help,

Todd

It seems to work as advertised. What do you see with verbose mode for  
check_smtp --

$ ./check_smtp -H <myserver> -S -p 587 -v

That begs the question - why do they want to ping them once per second?

If it is because they want to know the very instant a ping is dropped,
you're probably best off writing your own script to do that (and
forget using Nagios for it).

If it's because they want detailed stats on how reliable their network
is I'd approach it a different way...

You could write a script which pings every second, and every minute
sends a passive check to Nagios showing how many of the 60 pings in
the last minute were lost.  Nagios can then process these in its own
time and alert on whatever criteria are appropriate.

Nagios simply isn't designed for second-by-second instrumentation.
It's designed for alerting within a human time-frame.

hth,

Jim

How do I unsubscribe from nagios-jobs list?  It doesn't seem to be split
from nagios-users.

Hi,

Can anyone help me to correct my map file for the performance data of the check_mem.pl plugin which is generating the following output to the service-perfdata.out:  OK: 91% (3669M) free memory.
I really only need to capture the free %   so that I can graph that. ( the graphing part is working great )
This is what I have now in my map file which is not working :
# Service type: Memroy Usage
# output: OK: 76% (774M) free memory.
/output:\((\d+)\%\)/
 and push @s, [ FreeMemory,
               [ percent,     GAUGE, $1 ] ];

I have nagios version 3.05 up and running and gathering performance data output for check_disk and check_mem successfully

I've done that too - with and without the perfdata in the command.  I also noticed that when I updated a host today, the graphs all had data for an instance and, then, nothing.  Unfortunately, I'm rather new to Linux and know nothing of perl and how this is constructed.  I've looked at the guts of this program over and over again to find my own f*** ups.

If I just run the insert.pl without the perfdata, I get the concatenation errors (probably since it's looking for the parameters like the one listed in commands.cfg - as in command_line of process-service-perfdata).  The perfdata file also gets wiped out if I run insert.pl naked.  I have to restart Nagios to renew the perfdata file:

When I include the parameters for insert.pl, I get the output below.

/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/lib/Nagios/insert.pl "1237580865 || reach_media || PING || 4.062 || 0.067 || PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 46.26 ms"

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] NAGIOSGRAPH not graphing

I have some similar problem, I have run insert.pl manually and ir return
this:

*readline() on closed filehandle PERFLOG at
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagiosgraph/ngshared.pm line 797*

I went to /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagiosgraph/ngshared.pm line 797 and it
says:


788 sub inputdata () {
789         my @inputlines;
790         if ( $ARGV[0] ) {
791                 @inputlines = $ARGV[0];
792         } elsif ( defined $Config{perflog} ) {
793                 if (-s $Config{perflog}) {
794                         my $worklog = $Config{perflog} . ".nagiosgraph";
795                         rename($Config{perflog}, $worklog);
796                         open PERFLOG, $worklog;
797                         while (<PERFLOG>) {
798                                 push @inputlines, $_;
799                         }
800                         close PERFLOG;
801                         unlink($worklog);
802                 }

I'm sure I configure logs for perfdata correctly:
*service_perfdata_file* in nagios.cfg is the same file that
*perflog* in nagiosgraph.conf. And I'm sure I put all path correctly in

Message-ID: <99487797D76C7841AEEDE4A1DCA86C70051329CD@VNL-LA01EX04S.vmobile-nigeria.com>

Hi All,

Please what's the difference between "% Total Time" and "% Known Time"
on the NAGIOS interface (availability etc)?  The two values usually
appear together e.g., as "Total Time % (Known Time %)"

If reporting to "management" for example, which value should be
reported?

The staff in my monitoring unit (and myself :-) are a little confused as
to which of the two values represent availability for example.

Thanks.

Hi Ayotunde,

% known time is the amount of time that Nagios definitely knows the 
state of the hosts/services. For example if your Nagios system is down 
for an hour in a 24-hour period (or has no data from result checks to 
ascertain the state of devices) the % total time will be 100% (24 hours) 
but the % known time will be 95.8% (23 hours.)

That's how I understand it anyway.

Andy

That is all. It looks like check_smtp sends a EHLO but does not get 
anything back.

Strange. I have to check with kerio support, I guess.

You are using the wrong plugin. check_smtp does not understand 
SSL-protected SMTP. Use the check_ssmtp plugin instead; that is what I 
am using for this purpose.

The -S option turns on TLS (also known as starttls), not SSL. They are 
*almost* the same, with one critical difference: with TLS, the initial 
conversation (the EHLO and one or two more commands and responses) 
occurs in plain text, and THEN the client and the server negotiate 
encryption. That way, you can run encrypted and unencrypted traffic at 
the same time over the same port (25 or 587).

On port 465, the server turns on encryption first, and then expects the 
EHLO to already be encrypted.

I could be completely wrong, but I've always thought total time
includes the time even before you started monitoring.  For example, if
you started monitoring something yesterday, but you run an availabilty
report for the last 30 days, the % total time might be only 3 or so
but the % known time might be 100.

I've always assumed % total time isn't very helpful, so would normally
only report %known time to management.

Cheers,

Jim

Thanks for your detailled explanation - that was what I needed to know. 
check_ssmtp works fine for my environment.

Thanks. I have addedd AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/.htaccess to my
/etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios.conf

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi"

<Directory "/usr/lib/nagios/cgi">
   Options ExecCGI
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
  AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/.htaccess
  Require valid-user
</Directory>

Alias /nagios "/usr/share/nagios"

<Directory "/usr/share/nagios">
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   AuthName "Nagios"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
  AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/.htaccess
   Require valid-user
</Directory>

My /etc/nagios/.htaccess files look like this

AuthName "AD"
AuthType Basic
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ad:389/ou=tree,dc=company,dc=com?sAMAccountName?sub
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
require valid-user

I restarted apache2 and nagios, but now I can't login - neither as
nagiosadmin nor as AD user.

Subject: Set up user for monitoring purpose
Message-ID: <25251aec0903230049r5120b656r7d4b3b60808ed1fb@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I would like to set up a new user (say monitor) for the purpose of
monitoring the nagios GUI interface & alerts. He should be having less
privileges than a user "nagiosadmin". Is that possible?

I just want to give him a basic privileges like acknowledge host and
services. can you tell me is there anyway to accomplish such task?

Thanks

Hi Marc,

I've tried doing as you suggested, but my post check command does not
seem to be being executed for some reason. Do you have any idea what I
might have done wrong? Here is the setup I've used;

In nagios.cfg

obsess_over_hosts=1
ochp_command=host_check

And then in commands.cfg;

define command
{
	command_name	host_check
	command_line		/usr/local/nagios/host_check.pl $HOSTADDRESS$ $HOSTEVENTID$
}

Finally, my simple Perl script to test the output;

#!/usr/bin/perl
open MYFILE, ">>data.txt";
print MYFILE "Logging for server $ARGV[0], Event ID: $ARGV[1] \n";
close (MYFILE);

Unfortunately, the script is not being called for some reason. I know
the script itself is working fine, as I've tested it independently.
I've made sure that Nagios is restarted, and the pre-flight check
doesn't report any problems. Any thoughts on what the problem might
be?

Cheers,
Chris

Further to the above email, I've also made the nagios user owner of
the host_check.pl file, but still no luck in getting it to execute.

Sorry for the monologue here, but I was messing around with it a bit
more and moved the script file into nagios/libexec to see if that made
any difference. It didn't, but in the interim period between moving
the files, updating the configs and restarting Nagios, I noticed that
the following was logged to nagios/var/nagios.log;

[1237804472] Warning: Attempting to execute the command
"/usr/local/nagios/host_check.pl 127.0.0.1 53" resulted in a return
code of 127.  Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute
actually exists...

So it appears that Nagios is picking up the command OK, and is at
least *attempting* to execute it, but for some reason, nothing is
happening. Is there some permissions issue here that I'm unaware of?

Thanks again,
Chris

Hi all

This may be a dummy question.

I would like to use the $SERVICESTATEID$ and $LASTSERVICESTATEID$ macros to define a note URL for some services, but for some reasons, these macros are not processed by Nagios. 

For example, I defined a notes URL as :
/nagios/notes/?host=$HOSTNAME$&service=$SERVICEDESC$&state=$SERVICESTATEID$

This gave me the following note URL :
http://my_serveur/nagios/notes/?host=my_host&service=my_service&state=$SERVICESTATEID$

instead of the waited one :
http://my_serveur/nagios/notes/?host=my_host&service=my_service&state=0

I checked on the macros chart given in the documentation but the $SERVICEDESC$ macro and the $SERVICESTATEID$ and $LASTSERVICESTATEID$ ones have the same ranges of use.

Is it possible to use those macros in notes URL (and in that case where am I doing wrong ?) or should I use an other way to generate my note pages dynamically depending on the service's state ?

Is host_check.pl executable? If not, try adding "/usr/bin/perl" or do

I've never installed Nagios before.  I was asked to take over an existing 
installation.  I'm going to install the latest version of Nagios on a 
clean CentOS build.  We've never used Opsview before, but I looked into it 
and like the idea of using Opsview to configure all of the hosts, 
hostgroups, contacts, contactgroups, etc via a web browser.There isn't 
very detailed installation instructions on the Opsview website.  Is it 
very difficult to install Opsview and integrate it into Nagios?

Subject: Service latency suddenly through the roof
Message-ID: <84836290D5AD43418C40DCF0C4A54ED38E3B76@kogex02.pmpl.co.uk>

Hi, 

I'm running nagios 2.0b4, on suse 9.3. The plan is to upgrade to 3.0.6
(nagios) and SLES10 sp1. 

Recently, during some checking of the data that I collect for SLA reporting,
I noticed the service latency has gone through the roof!

The only recent change I've made is to put ssh checks as a host check. This
was to filter ssh checks away from the service problem web interface 
as we do have to shut nodes down from time to time but we don't want to be
alerted as a service problem.

I then had to introduce check_dummy as the service check (otherwise the
pre-flight check outputs hundred of lines stating the no services was
associated with xxxx host).  The check_dummy service check is only done on a
Sunday once per host as it's a dummy check. I thought this would put less
load on Nagios (please correct me if I'm wrong) 

We regard service problems to only be checks against our databases. 

Does anyone know of what could set this servicelatency to suddenly increase
like this ? 

regards,
deborah

Just do it as I wrote it in my example.

Hi Christopher,

You must indicate the path of the command perl : /usr/bin/perl 
/usr/local/nagios/host_check.pl $HOSTADDRESS$ $HOSTEVENTID$ if you don't 
have enable EPn.

Sincerly

Hi Marc,

I've tried doing as you suggested, but my post check command does not
seem to be being executed for some reason. Do you have any idea what I
might have done wrong? Here is the setup I've used;

In nagios.cfg

obsess_over_hosts=1
ochp_command=host_check

And then in commands.cfg;

define command
{
                 command_name            host_check
                 command_line /usr/local/nagios/host_check.pl 
$HOSTADDRESS$ $HOSTEVENTID$
}

Finally, my simple Perl script to test the output;

#!/usr/bin/perl
open MYFILE, ">>data.txt";
print MYFILE "Logging for server $ARGV[0], Event ID: $ARGV[1] \n";
close (MYFILE);

Unfortunately, the script is not being called for some reason. I know
the script itself is working fine, as I've tested it independently.
I've made sure that Nagios is restarted, and the pre-flight check
doesn't report any problems. Any thoughts on what the problem might
be?

Cheers,
Chris

This is incorrect. The shell will invoke the interpreter specified by  
the magic shebang in perl scripts just the same as any other script.

Did you also enable scheduled host checks? In 2.x, nagios stops everything
as soon as it runs a host check, so latency will naturally go through the
roof.

Since you're running a beta release that's more than 2 years old, I'm not
even remotely interested to guess or investigate this matter. At least
upgrade to latest 2.x stable (2.12, I think?). If the problem still persists,
then it's worth investigating.

Unless you're an op5 customer and thereby paying for my services, I
*really* don't want off-list emails regarding Nagios problems.

Thanks for respecting that in the future. Answers are below.

How do you verify that the program isn't getting executed? Does it
log something to a file with modes 666 every time it's run, or do you
just assume this because it doesn't insert the data into the database?

Message-ID: <84836290D5AD43418C40DCF0C4A54ED38E3B79@kogex02.pmpl.co.uk>

Andreas, 

Thanks for your reply. I completely agree with the suggestion of upgrading.
I'm currently 
migrating configs across to Nagios 3.0.6 with the hope of switching to this
box in about a week. 
I was hoping to keep the configs on the nagios 2.0b4 box fairly consistent
with the new box so we can 
run them in parallel for about a month before trashing it. 

Should I expect latency to be a lot lower with the new version of Nagios ?
I'm currently looking at the 
logs produced so far for the new version to see what the latency levels are
like. 

regards,
deborah

Did you also enable scheduled host checks? In 2.x, nagios stops everything
as soon as it runs a host check, so latency will naturally go through the
roof.

Since you're running a beta release that's more than 2 years old, I'm not
even remotely interested to guess or investigate this matter. At least
upgrade to latest 2.x stable (2.12, I think?). If the problem still
persists, then it's worth investigating.

The program writes out to the text file every time it is run (it's not
connecting to a database yet, this is just proof-of-concept work). If
I execute the program from the command line, it writes to this text
file as expected. However, nothing is being written to the file after
service / host checks, and therefore I can only guess that it is not
being executed by Nagios.

Message-ID: <699b436a0903230713n5e08beb5tc10622462764d9ad@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Folks,

I was asked to put the entire hostgroup for the downtime which i did . But
inspite of that i got alerts to my mail from few server from that hostgroup.

I selected both "schedule downtime for all host in this hostgroup"
                      "schedule downtime for all services in this hostgroup"

Can anyone please shed some light on this issue, and why is this happening.
Thanks

When you test it manually, do you test as the same user as Nagios runs
as? If not, are you removing the file the script should write to before
you try letting Nagios run it? Does Nagios have write access to the
directory where the file resides?

It's quite common that people try things like this as root, and then
the file is not writable by nagios, but the script has no sensible way
of letting the user know that, so they think Nagios isn't running the
script at all. I'm 99% sure it's something like that in this case too,
or this list would be cluttered with questions why ocsp/ochp commands
don't work.

In your script, you should specify the full path to that text file (I  
recommend something in /tmp). The shell used when executing plugins  
has most of the environment stripped from it.

Based on your previous report of the return code 127, nagios _is_  
trying to execute it. 127 means that the plugin was not found where  
you told nagios it was, or possibly that it wasn't executable by the  
nagios user as Andreas pointed out. Are you still seeing that error?  
If not, is there anything being logged?

You could enable debug mode and likely gain a lot more insight...

Definitely. Nagios 3 does not schedule hosts checks differently
than service checks (i.e. it does not halt everything else when a
host check is run as 2.x does). I've had great success migrating
to 3.x when I had severe latency problems (several minutes of
latency were the norm).

Subject: Hosts are Critical
Message-ID: <20090323101516.91x5uc3bwww4wwc0@webmail.princeton-il.com>

I am running CentOS 5 and I installed nagios thru yum using the  
RPMForge repository.  When I log into the web interface, it shows my  
server as down/critical under hosts.  Obviously since I'm accessing  
the host remotely via HTTP it isn't down.  Any thoughts on how to fix  
this?  Also, this was a clean install of the OS that I installed  
Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Nagios onto (including dependencies).

Any help would be great.  Thanks,

Subject: Nagios with Trouble Ticket system or Managment
	System integration
Message-ID: <91D531E73DF946C298804431F77952DB@p418>

Dear all,

I am new to Nagios and now my company want to try let Nagios to integrate with our new Service Desk system (Management System). 
For this project our aim is to inject Nagios's alert message to Service Desk system and it can create a 'Trouble Ticket' automatically.
So I want to find out basic requirement of Nagios at Nagios side and it how to provide interface (E.g. Application programming interface (API)) for the Trouble Ticket system.
I look forward to hear from you soon. Many Thanks.

I can't speak to the specifics of what RPMForge does for defaults but  
generally, your host's check_command doesn't work or doesn't  
accurately reflect the status of the host.

What is the Status Information?
What is the host{} definition?
What is the command{} definition it references as it's check_command?

An somewhat arbitrary guess is that the host check_command tries to  
ping localhost and that doesn't work. Can you ping localhost as the  
nagios user? If not, you may need to SUID /bin/ping so that it can be  
run by non-root users.

Subject: Service Template Inheritance
Message-ID: <a4c7bb6d0903230859r5a9d5a18r1ece8b06e867fa9c@mail.gmail.com>

I am working on setting up Nagios for the first time and am trying to search
different forums to find my answers, but it appears forums.meulie.net has
been down for several days (or I can't seem to get there from my network)
and SF is giving me Search Server timeout errors when I try and search this
forum.
This is a long way of apologizing up front if this question is therefore
redundant to topics already covered at length in the past.

I am struggling with getting service template inheritance to work properly
as it relates to placing the check_command in an inherited "template"

I did see a brief post about this from around 2003, but I wasn't able to
fully follow the chain.

Having read the documentation and doing some pondering, I am looking to
break my service monitoring into two notification trees: Production and
Development. That way, I am not bothered by development services alerting
off hours and only get production notifications off hours. (If there is a
better way to set this up, I'm open to suggestions.) Additionally, when I am
working with one platform, I can define the one command centrally and not
have to worry about changing it in several places if I choose to go a
different route.

Therefore, I am setting up my services as follows:

define service {
     name global_service      # All the settings found in the global-service
example in the quickstart setup
     ....
     register 0
}

define service {     name  windows_service
     use  global_service
     servicegroups windows_services  # This will group all windows services
together
     register  0
}


# Define the central definition of Client Version
define service {
     name w_client_version   # Windows Service, get Client Version of
NSClient++
     use  windows_service
     service_description     NSClient Version
     check_command     check_nt!CLIENTVERSION
     register 0         # Don't register this yet as it will be referenced
later!
}

# No inheritance here, begin the production shell of notification periods to
override any global settings
define service {
     name    production_service
     notification_period  24x7        # Set 24x7 notification and other
intervals/options
     .....
     register 0
}

## Now for putting the command and the service level together such that it
is production and will notify based on the production_service entry when the
w_client_version command is executed:
define service {
     name     production_client_version
     use      production_service,w_client_version          # Merge the
Production definition with the service command
}

I keep getting an error when validating the configuration (nagios -v
nagios.cfg) that the w_client_version is a duplicate within the config files
and I have searched for it only finding it in one location.

Can the check_command only be defined at the lowest level? Is this a valid
configuration or are there better examples of separating development alerts
from production alerts?

(I'm using Nagios v 3.0.6)

Thanks,
Ken

It was indeed a permissions issue. I did the following;

sudo chown nagios /tmp/nagios_tmp
sudo chgrp nagios /tmp/nagios_tmp

And now the script is successfully writing the output files to the directory.

Thanks everyone for your help, much appreciated.

Definitely. Nagios 3 does not schedule hosts checks differently than service
checks (i.e. it does not halt everything else when a host check is run as
2.x does). I've had great success migrating to 3.x when I had severe latency
problems (several minutes of latency were the norm).

Florence,

Check out Nagiosity ( http://code.google.com/p/nagiosity/ ). It's a
Python script which converts the current Nagios status data into XML.
It's pretty simple to modify to suit your own particular requirements,
and so you just need to write your own program to grab the XML and
make the relevant calls to your Service Desk system.

Cheers,
Chris

Subject: Code of 139 when checking mapped unit
Message-ID: <A38B4DB73860F24888F9366E3BED7A35A51689@venus.itenergia.com>

Hello everybody, 

I am pretty novice at Nagios, so I hope that my question were easy to answer, or at least, I could get a hint... 

The thing is that I want to monitor a mapped unit on a Windows host, just to check the available disk space (i.e., drive U:, that might be "myuser at server\users"). 

What I have done is the following: 

At windows.cfg: 

(...)
define host {
	use		windows-server
	host_name	myhost
	alias		My Windows host
	address	xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
}
(...)
define service {
	use 				generic-service
	host_name			myhost
	service_description	Check C: disk space
	check_command		check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
}
define service {
	use				generic-service
	host_name			myhost
	service_description	Check mapped unit U: disk space
	check_command 		check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l u -w 80 -c 90
}

(I had previously installed NSClient++ at the host...). 

The thing is that I get a correct answer from C:, but U: gives me the error "Return code of 139 is out of bounds". 

So obviously I guess that it's not that what I should have done. 

I checked the log file at the Windows host and it only says -repeatedly: NSCA Configuration missmatch. I don't think it has anything to see with my problem though... 

Any hint?

Thanks in advance. 

         Alejandro

Hi,

i recommend pnp. Integration in Nagios is very simple and you get the graphs
immediately. Nevertheless you can design the look of the graphs individually
with the template mechanism.

Unfortunately, it's messing up my graphing (pnp4nagios) output.
My NAGIOS server is on a RedHat 5.3 system while most of my clients are Solaris 9/10.
I may have come across some reference in the past that stated it has to do with the SSL libraries differences on the various platforms. 
Any ideas on how to fix this? Can I run the returned data through some filter that can get rid of the garbled characters for example?
The linux clients are fine.

Thanks.

Think I've gotten to the root of my "rookie" issue..... Using # instead of ;
inside a definition for commenting..... In addition to realizing the cfg_dir
definition in the nagios.cfg is recursive and I didn't need to define each
directory under the base directory it was pointing to.
Still interested in anyone's thoughts on breaking up services into
Production/Development and avoiding defining the commands in multiple
places. Is my approach similar to others out there or has someone tried this
approach and found there are limitations and moved to something different?

Thanks!

Subject: Example setups for a newbie
Message-ID: <49C7BB36.8020606@it.cdon.com>

Hi!

I'm relatively new to Nagios but for a number of reasons we want to 
migrate away from Hobbit.

I've read the manual, read some of the book "Nagios 3 Enterprise Network 
Monitoring", setup most of our hosts and some services but I cannot 
really get all the groups (service group, host group, contact group) and 
their relation to templates etc.

So could you give me a short description of your setups (maybe some of 
them candidates for the manual)? What templates you have, what groups 
you have and so on. Just to give newbies some pointers to how to 
organise stuff.

Marc,

The status (of the host in Nagios) is down.

The host definition is:

define host{
         use                     linux-server            ; Name of  
host template$
                                                         ; This host  
definition $
                                                         ; in (or  
inherited by) $
         host_name               localhost
         alias                   localhost
         address                 127.0.0.1
         }

This is how it is out-of-the-box.  How would I impliment a check_command?

Thanks,

Andy

Marc,

it also is giving me the following error:

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

Sorry for not mentioning that before.  Thanks,

Andy

Subject: Code of 139 when checking mapped unit

In regards to your NCSA Mismatch, are you intending to use NSClient++
through NCSA or only through the check_nt option? If you aren't using NCSA,
you may need to double check your nsc.ini file to make sure it is commented
out.
There is a pretty good tutorial here
http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/wiki/doc/usage/nagios for configuring
NSClient for simple check_nt usage.

As far as the other error goes, I'm not sure how NSClient handles mapped
drives. I know there was a post a while back about someone accidently
monitoring a CDROM drive that caused errors.

You can also run the NSClient from the command line with /test argument and
then run any command through there to see what the output is. That may help
identify what is causing the 139 error. (here is the link on how to use the
/test argument in NSClient http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/wiki/doc/Usage)

Service checks can inherit their notification period from their 
associated host object.  I set up my host templates for my dev and 
production servers with different notification periods, but I can use 
the same service templates for both since I haven't got a notification 
period defined in my service template..  The production server host 
template can notify 24x7, but the dev server host template is limitited 
to notifying during work hours.  The check period is 24x7 for both types 
of hosts, so Nagios always knows what's going on, even if it isn't 
saying anything about it.

Services can also inherit their contacts from their associated hosts, so 
my prod host template includes a pager contact group that my dev host 
template does not.

I haven't tried referencing two templates in a definition before, so I 
can't tell you if that works or not.  My instinct is to try it with just 
one template and see if the error goes away.

You can set the check_command in the service template and/or the service 
definition.  Anything you set in the service definition that's already 
been set in the service template will override the template's settings.

For example, I have an SSL-enabled site service template defined to use 
/ as its URL (my standard_service template has other things defined):

define service {
	use		standard_service
	name		SSL Site
	check_command	check_ssl_site!/
	notes		blah blah blah
	register	0
}

For a host where I want to check /, all I need is:

define service {
	use		SSL Site
	host_name	foo
}

But for a host where I want to check a different URL, I use:

define service {
	use		SSL Site
	host_name	different-foo
	check_command	check_ssl_site!/foo/bar/bat.asp
}

The second one is still inheriting everything except the check_command 
from the SSL Site template.

However, I think the answer to splitting up your dev and prod service 
types is just letting them inherit the notification period from the 
host.  You'll have half the service templates to manage if you can do that.

Look for "implied inheritance" on this page:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html

Chris,
Thanks for the detailed info. I had gone through the inheritance
documentation you'd listed below, but I didn't put the facts together that I
can mix my host template with my service template such that I can have a
host's notification settings apply to a service. I had been trying to figure
out how to merge the two since I want the service checks associated with my
development hosts to take on the host notifications. I'll have to go back
and re-evaluate this and see if I can get this working. If so, I agree, it
will cut down on the number of templates and areas I have to define
notifications.

Ken

I haven't used nagiosgraph so I cannot talk to how it works, but PNP
is also very flexible with how you integrate it and can be made to
scale very nicely :); the developers are also open to user patches.

yeah, that's probably the problem - nagios can't find / can't run the
plugin.  Make sure that the plugins are installed, nagios can run
them, and nagios knows where they are.

presumably you already installed the plugins through the RPMForge
repository, so they should be executable by the nagios user.

As for telling nagios where they are, you should have a commands file
that defines commands.  It'll use one the $USER$, most likely $USER1$.
 Edit resources.cfg and point $USER1$ (or whatever) to the correct
location of your nagios plugins, which will be where you installed
them.  Probably in /usr/lib/nagios/libexec on centos if memory servers
me right.

I like to think I'm relatively competent with Nagios, but I fought with 
nagiosgraph for a while before I ran out of patience and gave up. 
Unfortunately it's been several months since I did this, so I can't 
remember why I hated it so much.  It didn't help that there are multiple 
packages out there named 'nagiosgraph'.  pnp4nagios, otoh, installed 
quickly, easily, and just works.

I'm disappointed that Nagios doesn't have a graphing engine built in. 
It's silly to go to the trouble of setting up checks to build datapoints 
(e.g. ping RTT, memory, disk space) and then throw away data that could 
have great historic value.  Of course, this is a whole 'nother can of 
worms and gets into the "it's only build for one thing" argument.

thats a interesting option, i made a new script to be used as a plugin
which can detect and optional fix service checks through the command
interface. Works well on my system.

I can't say I've tried it myself (yet), but this book has a section
describing the various options in Nagios 3 for integrating with a
helpdesk system.

Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring contains some really useful
information, but I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction.  If your
budget will run to buying another book, get Wolfgang Barth's "Nagios"
2nd edition.

Subject: Nagios and email
Message-ID: <406190D6-B308-4865-8334-5DB9DF9A361D@crystal.harvard.edu>

Hello,

I have a kind of custom nagios setup, so maybe this is a byproduct of  
that...
I had to reboot my nagios server today, and it didn't come right back  
up.  By the time it did, it realized that the service checks weren't  
fresh, and started sending out lots of notifications.  I stopped  
sendmail to keep from flooding my inbox...so here's the question:

I just want to clear out the outgoing email queue.  mailq and sendmail  
-bp both show nothing queued up.  When I restart sendmail, it starts  
sending again.
Has nagios passed all the emails over to sendmail, and I just need to  
clear out sendmail's queue, or is nagios holding onto them while  
sendmail isn't running, and then once it sees sendmail running, it  
starts dumping email into the queue?

Which is it, and how do I clear them from the queue?

Thank you.
--Peter

You have checked your /var/spool/mqueue and /var/spool/clientmqueue  
right?

I have had a few million emails queued up there before.

Nagios does not queue or hold notifications. Either these are new  
notifications or your MTA has them queued.

It's probably Nagios. Does the blizzard of emails stop when you stop the 
Nagios service?

How about stopping the Nagios server, turning off all notifications in 
the configuration files, and then restarting it?

I was able to have nagios open a ticket in CA-Service Desk. I wrote a 
plugin script, and I published it. Basically if your Service Desk server 
allows open ticket via command line and that server has NRPE_NT then 
nagios is flexible enough to work.
Take a look at my script and let me know if you need more help.

Subject: NRPE vs. check_by_ssh
Message-ID: <c4ae53ee0903240245r24d9b2ccqe07de8f601978bd0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could give a brief overview of the pros /
cons of using NRPE to monitor my remote hosts versus using the
check_by_ssh command?

I'm aware that check_by_ssh increases the CPU overhead, but I'm not
clear on the level of impact here - does this increase the load on the
monitoring machine in direction relation to the number of hosts being
monitored? For example, if I was using check_by_ssh to monitor, say,
2000 services spread across 200 hosts, would I experience significant
slowdown on my monitoring machine?

Cheers for any info,

Chris

hi,

ust SNMP! No need to install anything on the target system. SNMP Agents are 
already installed on nearly all systems.

Since everything speaks SNMP you can gather info about hardware, operation 
system AND applications, independent of any OS.

nagios: check_snmp

Hi,

I don't know an inventoring addon/plugin for Nagios. OCS Inventory is 
opensource iinventory and deployement software for Windows and Unix like

This sounds interesting Michael. I searched around a bit, but wasn't
able to find a good introduction to using check_snmp. Could you
suggest an article / tutorial / blog entry somewhere that would be
suitable for a Nagios newbie?

Dear All,

I seem to get extra garbled characters at the end of the data returned by the various plugins running on Solaris clients.
Unfortunately, it's messing up my graphing (pnp4nagios) output.
My NAGIOS server is on a RedHat 5.3 system while most of my clients are Solaris 9/10.
I may have come across some reference in the past that stated it has to do with the SSL libraries differences on the various platforms.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Can I run the returned data through some filter that can get rid of the garbled characters for example?
The linux clients are fine.

Thanks.

There are generally two ways to utilize SNMP with nagios - either you
set up your nagios server to catch SNMP "traps" (the SNMP trapsink
server), 

http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=29
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=28

or you poll the host/snmpd service for whatever info you like from the
client/nagios side using SNMP - Therefore, unless you are polling your
own server via nagios, tweaking/changing your local snmpd.conf will not
do much good...

Either way, check out http://manubulon.nagios.org - these will fill the
gaps in "check_snmp", for either *nix or windows systems.

Another good starting point is :
http://conshell.net/wiki/index.php/Using_Nagios_with_SNMP

I'm getting this error "NRPE: Unable to read output" when I run the
check_veritas plugin.  Nagios server is running Ubuntu and the remote
host is Solaris 10.  I know the script runs fine when run locally as
root but I need help setting it up so that Nagios could run it.  I'm not
able to find anything out on the web and nagios-user search is timing
out.  Any help would be appreciated...

 

Thanks much

I normally just put it in quotes like so:

check_command    check_https_reverse!/cms/enter.cfm!courseworks!"error occurred"

I'm not familiar with the check_https_reverse command so can't
guarantee this will work for you, but please give it a try and see how
it goes.

hth,

Subject: event handler question with nrpe
Message-ID: <6db4a4200903241419j6ecf4254i8183c29c2277654@mail.gmail.com>

can event handler take argument.  I want to have a generic shell script
which take argument as to what process needs to start.  I want to restart
process via nrpe.  Can someone please verfiy if the following will work or
not?  Thanks in advance.

*

define service{
	host_name			somehost
	service_description		HTTP
	max_check_attempts		4
	event_handler			restart-process.sh!my_proecess
	...other service variables...
	}

*

Once the service has been defined with an event handler, we must define that
event handler as a command. Notice the macros in the command line that I am
passing to the event handler - these are important!

define command{
command_name    restart-process.sh
command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c
restart-process -a $SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
$SERVICEDESC$ 2 $ARG1$
}


my restart-process.sh

#!/bin/sh

maxattempts=$5

case "$1" in
OK)
	# The service just came back up, so don't do anything...
	;;
WARNING)
	# We don't really care about warning states, since the service is
probably still running...
	;;
UNKNOWN)
	# We don't know what might be causing an unknown error, so don't do anything...
	;;
CRITICAL)

	case "$2" in
		

	SOFT)


		case "$3" in
				

		$maxattempts)

			logger -t nrpe-eventhandler "Eventhandler: (Re)starting

Subject: check_disk solaris problem and solution
Message-ID: <49C95345.6050604@usc.edu>

Odd thing....

we've been in the process of upgrading from an ooold set of plugins, to a 
new one, on solaris

we have some "very large" filesystems we want to monitor.

the old 1.3.1 plugin version of "check_disk" worked fine.

the newer ones did not, at one point.
(I'm dealing with 1.4.13 of the plugins)

The older one calls "df". The newer one attempts to use system calls to 
figure it out "the hard way".

Odd thing is... SOMETIMES, it compiles correctly.
Sometimes, it does not.

I have not yet figured out the magic that makes it compile "correctly".
However, when it didnt, I brute-forced the issue a bit, by defining.

CFLAGS=-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1

and then it seems to work.

Odd thing is that a more recent test compile, showed
  ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits=64
in config.log, and that resulted in a check_disk that worked correctly on 
large files.

Message-ID: <C847C6CBCF074C4DB16034529D78F0CB3824EF@aggww03.Wildwood.AGG.com>

I have just finished the ubuntu quickstart guide. after starting apache
and nagios when I go to locahost/nagios-- 404 not found The requested
URL /nagios was not found on this server

I verified apache and nagios are running but no dice, Verified apache is
listening
root at NAGIOS-VM01:/etc/apache2# sudo netstat -anp |grep '^tcp.*LISTEN'
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5063/apache2 
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4655/cupsd 
If I type in http:\\localhost is get it works!

Where should I start to look

thanks

NACE is a toolkit that you can use to build your own configuration. It
was creating during the Nagios 2.x days, if you have any problems let
me know.

Once queries were created, it was incredibly low maintenance.

Thanks.

If http://localhost works, why are you trying to go to
http://localhost/nagios?

Assuming that second URL should work, it would be helpful to know what
your Apache configuration looks like, and how Nagios is installed.  It's
obvious Apache is running, or you wouldn't get a 404 error. What isn't
so obvious is where you've told it to look for Nagios, and whether
Nagios is actually installed there.

Can you define "integrate" a bit more? I am using OpenAudit. It is not 
integrated, although I could see that displaying Nagios status 
information within OpenAudit, or conversely automatically adding hosts 
to nagios might make sense. But I know of no way to do either of these 
things.

Subject: NRPE vs. check_by_ssh
In-Reply-To: <c4ae53ee0903240245r24d9b2ccqe07de8f601978bd0@mail.gmail.com>
References: <c4ae53ee0903240245r24d9b2ccqe07de8f601978bd0@mail.gmail.com>

I think you are comparing apples and oranges here, because in most 
situations that I can think of, the decision is dictated by the network 
topology. If you are exclusively on a trusted private network, 
check_by_ssh really doesn't offer any benefits. Conversely, if your 
topology involves the Internet or some other untrusted network (WiFi), 
then you wouldn't want NRPE in the first place.

The only exception to the above that I can think of is when it comes to 
deciding between using check_by_ssh over an untrusted network, vs. NRPE 
through some other kind of tunnel or VPN. But in that case, you'd incur 
encryption overhead either way, and the comparison is very different 
from the question you asked.

All that said: I don't have any first-hand experience, but I suspect 
that the impact of establishing 2200 ssh connections in a five-minute 
span (assuming that you are using a five-minute check interval) is 
pretty substantial. The main impact actually lies in establishing and 
tearing down the connections, key negotiations etc.; the encryption 
during the data phase probably has only limited impact because most 
checks only transmit a few bytes back and forth.

SSH does much better with longer-duration connections when the keys are 
already exchanged. This is even more true if you have a router-based 
VPN, because in that case the overhead is offloaded to a different machine.

So if you have the option of sending the checks as NRPE through one or a 
few long-term VPNs: you are probably going to be better off. Of course, 
in the big picture, your mileage may vary.

You would probably be best asking for users opinions on the opsview- 
users mailing list; please see http://www.opsview.org/mailinglists for  
more details.

The installation documentation is on http://docs.opsview.org/ and we  
are actively updating and improving it - we welcome comments on how to  
improve it and we have granted some community users access to make  
changes too.

We are striving to make it as easy as possible to install and use  
Opsview on those platforms we support, but again we welcome comments  
on how to make improvements.

I would be happy to answer any more questions about Opsview on the  
mailing lists there.

Thanks

   Duncs

You can also try going to http://localhost/nagios/index.html to verify your
directory index directive is being carried through properly within the
Apachy configuration. I ran into an issue recently when switching to SSL, I
could no longer browse directly to Nagios and had to add the DirectoryIndex
directive to the default configuration. I am running Apache 2.0.
If you can get there using the full URL, add the line: DirectoryIndex
index.html to your "/usr/local/nagios/share" directory and that should clear
that issue up.

Hi Kevin,

I carefully read your speech about this subject and I found you a lot
of insist on security  offering by  ssh, but  you can also configure
nrpe to work with ssl so I think we will have no difference at this
level, then what do you think?

Well, that's up to you to decide.
You obviously told nagios to run no more then 400 checks at a time.
Nagios now reached that limit and delays further checks, so no more
then 400 processes are forked.

I don't know why you set that limit, do you? ;)

Take a look at the nagios.cfg and the "max_concurrent_checks" setting.

Regards
        Sascha

Don't top-post.... We have seen performance issues (in the key
exchange phase mostly) using check_by_ssh with about 300 checks on a
single host. NRPE using SSL has less overhead.

Running a plugin using SSH took 7.5 to 10 seconds (various tests) and
running the same with NRPE took 0.148 seconds at most. The target
server is a big SPARC with 3 CPUs dual-core, dual-strand and 24GB, so
is not a hardware issue....

Answering to myself:

pnp4nagios is better than nagiosgraph (sorry me nagiosgraph's 
developers). I recommend anyone to use pnp4nagios.

Hello,

I know that Nagios is able to issue actions through the use of Event Handlers.

Is it possible to also manually issue an action (ex. launching a script)?

I mean, can an operator decide to launch a script via the nagios interface?

Many thanks

Hello 

going over the external command list i didn't see any command that prefromes in the way you want.

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

you can manually activate a service check - that my trigger an event handler or check on the target 
machine .

Hello Marc,
Thanks for your answer. In fact I find a solution.
My Syslog-NG server which receives all Bluecoat messages send a SNMP TRAP
when it detects a "status changes in the failover" with Regex.
FInally, Nagios create an alarm in my TRAP service for my bluecoat.
Best regards
TheNoob

Yes 

nrpe will alow you to execute remote commands.

if the service execution you define is refering a command executed via nrpe on a remote server , you 
should get the same response as if nagios exeuted the service normaly.

Hi Russell,

I haven't attempted to use NACE yet, but can you think of any
potential problems that I might run into using it with Nagios 3.x ?
This is the version that I have to work with, so it'd be quite handy
if NACE was compatible with it.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

create a check which will fail for sure and comment it in nagios.cfg.

Create an event handler, then when you need just enable the check in the cfg
and restart nagios.

That's all.

What I think? I think I learned something new! Thanks for telling me 
about the NRPE-with-SSL option; I was not aware of that.

That said, I suspect that the overhead for SSL and SSH will be very 
similar, because under the hood they use quite similar algorithms. I 
want to say, they actually use the same, but I'm not sure if that is 
true. At least the way the connections are established are the same.

Regards,

Kevin

Sorry to barge in (without reading the thread but...)

Security wise NRPE lacks any form of authentication which is something 
SSH has so in this regard SSH is the more secure one...

Yeah, after a little more diagnostic work I eventually concluded that  
it was just OS X's implementation of NTP that is just broke.  It seems  
to be in sync for a while, then it just forgets it for a while, and  
eventually, maybe it'll sync up again.

Maybe they'll fix that for 10.6 this year.

Looks like I need an education here.

check_icmp and check_ping can check a particular device but native ping fails. Any help with understanding this would be great..

Thanks

I encountered this too. My solution was a script in /usr/local/scripts 
called by cron that stops the NTP daemon, runs "ntpdate <local_server>" 
twice, then restarts the NTP daemon. This runs in cron every 2 hours and 
seems to keep things in sync...

Wouldn't the SSL certificates provide authentication comparable to SSH 
keys? I'm not familiar with how NRPE uses SSL, but I would assume that 
you could also use client certificates?

What does "fails" mean in this context? Timeout? No route to host? Does 
this happen for all hosts, or just for one host? Does it happen for 
local hosts on your own subnet as well as for remote hosts behind a router?

Firstly, thanks for the detailed explanation of the issues involved in
this choice Kevin, it's been very helpful.

I'm curious though, could you elaborate on why NRPE is unsuitable if
communication with my remote hosts is going to go via the Internet? Is
it not sufficient that NRPE uses SSL? This may be more of a network
security question than a Nagios one, but I've no real experience in
either area unfortunately, so I appreciate any info you can give here.

Cheers,
Chris

I am no expert but AFAIK it merely encrypts the traffic ie, no 
certificates at all. If someone knows hoe to use certificates please 
feel free to let me know so I can add it to NSClient++ but what I have 
seen it is not possible...

It doesn't appear to me that the configuration syntax has changed
significantly, but I haven't used 3.x yet.

NACE updates your templates, so the syntax shouldn't matter much. If
you write Nagios 3.x configs, and let NACE reuse them with variable
replacement, there shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks.

No, you are right. I wasn't aware that NRPE could use SSL. In that case, 
NRPE would be pretty much the same in terms of performance as SSL.

That said, I am generally concerned from a security standpoint about any 
kind of active checks going over the Internet. This is because if you 
are monitoring, in your example, 200 hosts, you have to poke holes into 
200 firewalls (or into one firewall, and then set up SSL or SSH keys on 
200 hosts). That's 200 potential security holes all over the place with 
little or no control, and on machines that may not necessarily be 
hardened for access from the outside world. Worse - active checks, by 
nature, cause a program to be launched and executed on the monitored 
client, and usually with very high permissions. You said that you check 
2000 services, so that's 2000 plugins (give or take a few). What if a 
hacker found a way to compromise one of your 2000 plugins? You'd have a 
privilege escalation issue along with remote-launch capability. On 200 
clients.

Because of these concerns, I am using passive checks almost exclusively 
over the Internet (except for publicly available services such as HTTP 
or SMTP, of course); I wrote an agent that resides on the client as a 
wrapper around the excellent NSClient++ and performs the actual checks. 
It then forwards the checks to the Nagios server via NSCA over HTTPS. A 
second benefit is that this agent collects about 40 or so check results, 
and then sends all of them at once through a single SSL connection. That 
reduces the overhead of establishing a secure connection by a factor of 
40. BTW, the agent is available as Open Source. Go to

NRPE uses SSL, but it doesn't check certificates. As such, someone could spoof
your IP, and run code, and get the results through NRPE. SSH does check
certificates, and relies on a shared secret, making this impossible.

No, that wouldn't be possible. Encryption always requires some form of 
key or another. In SSL, the key is embedded in the server's certificate. 
The client certificate is optional; it also contains a second encryption 
key. If you use client certificates, in effect the traffic is doubly 
encrypted.

You almost certainly *are* using certificates in NSClient++. But if you 
are using the standard Windows API functions, Windows transparently 
hides most of that complexity from you; the MSXML object and its ilk 
take care of it. You would be using the certificates from the Internet 
Explorer key store.


Actually, when I described how the SSL connection can use single or 
double encryption, I lied. It is more complicated than that. The SSL 
keys are extremely long (1024, 2048 bits or more), and they have to be 
because by nature they don't change over years. SSL keys in the 
certificates are also the public keys of a public/private key pair. 
These factors make using the SSL key for encryption *extremely* slow. 
That is why in reality, public key encryption is only used for extremely 
short messages (measured in bytes, not kilobytes).

To work around that, the client and the server generate yet another 
random key, this time a symmetric key (which has to be kept secret from 
anybody). This symmetric key is usually 128 bits or 256 bits. Unlike 
public-key encryption, symmetric encryption can be implemented very 
fast. This key is sent using the slow public-key encryption. The actual 
traffic is then encrypted using this second key, which will be thrown 
away after the connection ends.

Incidentally, SSH works basically the same way. The only substantial 
difference is that the public keys comes from the authorized_keys file 
instead of a certificate.

Both SSL and SSH actually allow you to use various different encryption 
algorithms and mechanisms for exchanging keys under the hood. You may, 
for instance, see DHE for the key exchange, RSA for the public/private 
encryption, and AES for the symmetric encryption and SHA for hashing 
(which I haven't even touched on).

SSH is going to slow it down on both sides of the communication.  SSH
does quite a bit more in terms of setting up the connection which
involves using asymmetric encryption to setup a shared secret for
symmetric encryption and verifying keys for the asymmetric part,
verifying access, allocating a session.  Whereas NRPE even with
encryption just does a simple pre-shared secret for the symmetric
encryption, much faster even if using the same encryption algorithm


One thing you could do with SSH to speed it up (and I would argue make
it faster than NRPE depending on the stability of your network)) would
be to use ControlMaster.  ControlMaster is a SSH v2 feature, where you
create a connection and can open up multiple sessions with that
ControlMaster for other SSH processes.  This saves you not only the
key-exchange heavy lifting but also you're not opening up a new socket
on the remote host.  In order to really make it worth it you'd have to
spawn a process that was continuously connected.  I wrote an ugly
check_by_ssh that would spawn a ControlMaster if one didn't exist and
use it if it did.  Reduced the load/latency quite a bit for SSH
checks.  Though if I had to do it again I'd used 'ControlMaster auto'
(man 5 ssh_config) and create a separate check that was responsible
for maintaining the ControlMaster, then you could use the stock
check_by_ssh without any modifications.


That all being said, you might want to think about a distributed setup
anyhow, if nothing more for redundancy.  200 servers and 2,000 checks
is alot of responsibility for a singleton, you could break it 50/50
between two servers that could take over for the other one if it
fails.

check_icmp uses it's own sockets code. check_ping is just a wrapper  
for 'native ping' (i.e. /bin/ping). if check_ping works, regular old  
ping must as well.

You can see the flags the check_ping is passing to /bin/ping by  
passing verbose flags --

$ ./plugins/check_ping -H localhost -w 10,10% -c 50,50% -vv
CMD: /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 localhost
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.04 ms
10.000000:10% 50.000000:50%

+1 on the control master. We have about 1000 checks over 300 hosts and  
using control master made the box much more stable and quite frankly  
usable. Saved a lot of plug in time outs as well.

Think about 1000 checks every 5 or 10 minutes. That's 1000 encrypted  
tunnels that are going up and down. That's a lot of overhead for a  
quick check, let along if your server is checking say 5 or 10 things  
back to back.

FWIW: I use both. I have about 400 internal servers that are considered 
to be "trusted". I have another 50 or so that are outside our network 
(DMZ'd) and untrusted. To keep overhead low, I use NRPE on the internal 
hosts and check_by_ssh for the externals. Internally, using NRPE gives 
me greater flexibility in adjusting client thresholds (mounts to watch, 
varying memory ranges depending on how much is installed, etc). 
check_by_ssh gives me a secured, authenticated way of checking system 
externally (basic sshd_config setup to restrict ssh from nagios user and 
specific IP's only). I'm unwilling to use NRPE on an external, untrusted 
server, but don't want the overhead of encryption for internal, trusted 
systems...

Hmm..

another snag I hit upgrading from plugins version 1.3.1, to 1.4.13.

previously, it was perfectly valid to use

check_udp -H hostname -p ####

and it worked.

but now, you have to specify BOTH a 'send' string, and an 'expect' string.

The help/error message is not entirely clear:

With UDP checks, a send/expect string must be specified.

It would be nicer if it more accurately said,

With UDP checks, both a send AND an expect string must be specified.


I was wondering why it was not sufficient to call it with -s. I did not 
realize it required -e as well.
Also: i didnt really know what to 'expect"... but it turns out that

check_udp -H host -p 2342 -s 'xyz' -e ''

works ok.

Too bad that trick does not seem to work for checking if a kerb5 kdc port is 
up and valid.

I know there is a "check_kdc" perl script, but it requires a couple of 
external modules. I prefer things that are self-contained, or compiled.

Humm.
The cipher used is ADH which is "anonymous DH cipher suites" in addition 
to a "pre shared *known* secret" (read un-secret). Again I am no expert 
but I always interpreted the "secret key" (DH) thingy as a key and not a 
certificate but mayhap I got it all wrong? (in which case it might be 
possible to use proper certificates?)

And I am actually using openssl but mayhap it has a built-in keystore as 
well?

Again, use the verbose flags for check_ping, then try the same ping  
command it uses (it varies by system). The only explanation I can give  
at this point is that the ping binary you used above isn't the one  
that check_ping is using or that some specific flag is needed on your  
network. You should be able to discover that, and what that flag does,  
through the process of elimination. It could also be some strange DNS  
resolver issue with the ping binary. Running truss or strace on ping  
may provide interesting information if those tools are familiar to you.

This *really* isn't a nagios issue since the plugin is doing the right  
thing. If the above suggestions don't help you, you'll have better  
luck through the support forums for your OS.

Why?  In a standard configuration, the data is a bunch of files which

If you had installed from source tarball, then most of your Nagios
install would be under /usr/local/nagios/ .

The install from tarball isn't so onerous, and you'll find that Nagios
then isn't spread all over the place but is mostly found under
/usr/loca/nagios/ .

I'm sorry Mark, but installing from repositories using yum is pretty
much the same.  If you want to see how things work and have a truly
standard install, you need to install Nagios from the source tarballs.
 Believe me, I started off installing Nagios using yum on Fedora a
while back and soon got bitten on the bum when I found the repository
had Nagios compiled with embedded perl enabled but the plugins I was
using wouldn't work with that.

In a truly standard Nagios install (if there is such a thing), the
configs are under /usr/local/nagios/etc not /etc/nagios .  These
things become important when you start looking at installing some of
the really neat addons for Nagios like pnp4nagios graphing, NExSM
status map, NagVis dashboards and so on.

Subject: detecting rogue dhcp server
Message-ID: <8adc88580903252120y1a11d8b5qe9d033a8f8ee572d@mail.gmail.com>

Is there any plugin exist to detect rogue dhcp servers across all vlans/ subnet?

I have had a look at two programs (not Nagios plugins): dhcp_probe and
roguedetect - none suitable for human consumption yet. There is an
excellent program on Windows call "dhcploc.exe" but I'm on Linux.

Thanks.

Subject: Dependent service checks don't fail when depended-on
	service check fails
Message-ID: <fd27a9f80903252241u41340ad4hf06fcc229462e948@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,

I have a couple of related questions regarding service dependencies in
Nagios and their limitations. I have two service checks (let's call
them A and B) and service A depends on service B to function
correctly. I want to set Nagios up so that if service B crashes then
both services A and B are put into the critical state in Nagios. I've
tried using service dependencies in Nagios to represent this behaviour
but have yet to be successful. I can only get it to suppress
notifications of service A if both services go down.

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do here? I'd have thought it
would be logical that if a service depends on another service and the
service depended on dies then all services depending on it would fail
their checks as well, but there;s probably some scenario where it
doesn't work so well. I've had a look through the mailing list
archives and found someone had asked a similar question to the
nagios-devel list about 2.5 years ago and didn't end up getting an
answer, so I thought I might ask whether solutions to this type of
problem had been developed since then.

Cheers,

Jarrod

I stand corrected.

Interesting... DH stands for Diffie Hellman (usually, that refers to the 
Diffie Hellman Key Agreement algorithm). I didn't know that openssl 
supported ADH (the A stands for anonymous), and I wonder how many other 
SSL implementations have it, since ADH really doesn't make much sense. 
According to the openssl documentation, ADH is actually the one cipher 
not included in the default list of ciphers. And with good reason, 
because, you are right, it does not do any kind of authentication, and 
therefore actually provides no security (not even from eavesdropping, 
because a man-in-the-middle attack is trivial).

Diffie Hellman is actually used for most SSL connections, but in a 
different form.

Basically, the idea behind DH is that both parties agree on two 
pre-shared large prime numbers. In the case of ADH, these same numbers 
are known to everybody in the world. In other forms of DH cipher, these 
two numbers are only known to the two parties exchanging information - 
that's what actually gets encrypted with the public/private encryption 
based on the keys from the certificates.

When client and server want to communicate, both separately generate 
random numbers. These numbers truly are secret. The client then applies 
some mathematical magic between the random number and the two primes, 
and the server does the same on its end. Then the server sends the 
result of this magic to the client, and vice versa. Finally, both of 
them multiply the result of the other side's magic with their own random 
number. In the end, both sides end up with the same result, even though 
neither ever sent its random number. This final result is the key. I 
used to teach a network security class that included the math behind DH, 
but I still can't remember the details. Diffie and Hellman must have 
been brainiacs to come up with that. It basically is a very tricky way 
to get obscure the random numbers.

Yes, it would indeed work without any certificate. You could think of it 
as a certificate with a zero-length public/private key (and with 
zero-length everything else, too).

openssl does have a key store, in the form of a certificate store. 
Creating and installing proper certificates is not difficult. You can 
probably use self-signed certificates here. Since you have control over 
both clients and servers, trusting the certificate shouldn't be an issue.

Very high permissions are normally not needed. I prefer using NRPE because
of two reasons:
1. It provides a rather simple way of specifying exactly which commands
   can be run, and with which arguments (don't enable argument parsing
   in nrpe if the receiving end isn't duly protected by firewalls etc)
2. If someone breaks into the Nagios server, he or she does not get the
   public keys required for running commands on the remote servers.

Sounds like a rather neat solution, although I suppose it has to be
configured in both ends before it's actually useful (although all other
agents require some configuration anyways, so perhaps it's not such a big
deal). I'm not too fond of relinquishing the re-check logic of Nagios
though, but I guess you can't get everything.

This should work reasonably well:

tar czf "nagios-backup-$(date +%Y-%m-%d.%T).tar.gz" $(rpm -ql nagios)

What particular data is it you want to put in the database? We have plenty of
scripts, eventbrokers and programs written specifically to gather Nagios data
and put it in a database. If you use our webconfiguration tool, it will
overwrite your configuration files when you click "save", but that's sort of
expected behaviour, I guess.

Still, I think you're going about this the wrong way if you only want it for
backup reasons.

This is expected behaviour. If A is truly dependant on B, then A will
turn into a non-ok state of its own volition rather than as a result
of any dependency magic. Dependencies are designed as a means of
suppressing notifications. Otherwise, you would *always* get a
notification for B first, and a minute or so later from A (actually,
without the dependency you could get from A first).

They haven't. You're using dependencies the wrong way, really. If
A is truly dependent on B and doesn't go into a non-ok state after
B has crashed, then your check isn't doing what it's supposed to do,
or you've misunderstood the relationship somehow.

If you were to explain what the two services actually are, it would
be easier to point you to a solution that works.

Hi,

I set this limit because my server go in hang ...and I don'have any error
log in /var/log/messages ...
I have think that my server there are too many processes ...
I have set max_concurrent_checks=0 and my server go in hanq more often...

My server is a FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2 with 950 host and 4900 service, Nagios
3.0.3

Anothre problem is that  sometimes nagios don't update the status and when i
try to stop nagios don't dies, i try to kill -9 the process but don't dies
so I have to reboot the server.

Any idea ? thank you for the support bye..

The only way I'm aware of that a process can become unkillable is when it's
in uninterruptable IO (ie, the kernel is waiting for response from a piece
of hardware in such a way that everything else is more or less locked down).

Are you using network-mounted drives to store any of Nagios' output files?
If so, stop doing that immediately. Network filesystems perform extremely
poorly with files that are being frequently updated.

Apart from that, it seems as if your system isn't quite up to scratch for
handling the workload you want to put on it.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.

Hi all,

I'm using NDOUtils to extract logs from Nagios to a MySQL database. Unfortunately, the ndo2db daemon crashed this week-end and I noticed it only on yesterday. I tried to re-inject logs via the log2ndo utility and data where inserted in "logentries" table but nothing inside the other tables.

Is there a way to insert it in the "servicechecks" table, "hostcheck" table etc...?

Marc-Andr?

Hi,
I don't have any nfs mount on this server, and can not find the problem..
I think that the problem is the raid controller...

[root at server /usr/local/etc/nagios]# dmesg | grep -i raid
aac0: <IBM ServeRAID-8k> port 0x5000-0x50ff mem
0xc9e00000-0xc9ffffff,0xc7fe0000-0xc7ffffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci4
aac0: ServeRAID 8k-l  , aac driver 2.0.0-1
aacd0: <RAID 1 (Mirror)> on aac0

but i dont have any log on this ..any suggest ?

You can take a look to www.opmon.org
We make available a configuration tool called OpCfg and an event broker(including performance data parse), so every information will be in a mysql db.

Regarding to backup issue, you can run a rpm -ql <package name> to get gathered all Nagios instalation files and make a backup of them.

There is a new config / discovery manager for nagios called Lilac.

Have a look and let us know how you get on.

Hi Rich,

I have looked at Lilac before, and it looks great, unfortunately the
only supported database platform I'll be using is Oracle. Is there a
way to configure Lilac so that it does not have to use MySQL, or is it
required for the core functionality?

Cheers,
Chris

Subject: Uniquely Identifiable Events in Nagios.log?
Message-ID: <c4ae53ee0903260722l7c2c67a8n34a206d87136176a@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to configure Nagios to produce
uniquely identifiable entries in the nagios/var/nagios.log file?

The reason I ask, is that I would like to parse this log file for
service check results and perform further processing based on the
values discovered there. The trouble is, that as far as I can see,
Nagios uses a time-stamp which is only accurate to the second, and so
my log files have lines which all have the same time-stamp. Is there a
way to increase the accuracy of this time-stamp perhaps? Or any other
suitable solution to the general problem of identifying log entries?

Cheers,
Chris

No, the log format isn't configurable.

NDO seems like a good fit. It's all in an query-able database and each  
row has a unique id.

I have come across NDO before, but unfortunately I cannot run MySQL in
the production environment, and so I have to find a different solution
to this problem. I found an NDOUtils Oracle, but I believe that it is
still in a pre-alpha state, and so probably not suitable for a
production environment with thousands of checks occurring.

Hello,

I have a service I just want a certain group to be able to view, here is the
object def. of the service from objects.cache:

define service {
        host_name       hostname
        service_description     description

        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        }

I've zeroed out the values for contacts and contactgroups, which should
effectivly hide this service unless cgi.cfg tells otherwise for that user.

But, any user is able to view this service, why?

Ive tried to add myself to the contacts line and remove the contact_groups,
so it would look like this:
        contacts                  tore
#        contact_groups

But this still doesnt work, are regular operators are still able to view the
service, why? Operators are members of a "operators" group, which is a
contactgroup for all hosts.

Any tips would be gratefull :)

If you have any programmers on staff you could create your own  
event_broker to log to a custom file or add custom log entries to  
nagios.log. Someone may have already created one but a quick Google  
doesn't show any obvious candidates.

Depends on the plugin, but I'm not sure that this is generally true. For 
instance, something as simple as log file analysis either requires root 
permission on Linux; log files aren't readable by anybody else, or it 
requires that you relax file permissions or security somewhere else. On 
Windows, I'm running my monitoring agent (by default) as the Local 
System account (most Windows services do that anyway). That has 
basically full access to everything, but nothing on the network.

Of course check_ping, check_tcp etc. don't usually need such high 
permissions.

Can you explain that second statement? I'm not sure I follow what you 
are trying to say here. Why would getting public keys be a bad thing? 
They are, by definition, freely available anyway.

True, you do lose the recheck logic, and you also lose event handlers 
and probably some other things I'm not thinking of. Actually, that's a 
good point - adding some of these things might be a possible future 
improvement.

As far as the configuration on both ends goes, yes, of course. That's 
probably true for all Nagios checks regardless of what you do. What you 
need server-side is:

- A php page that actually accepts the checks and injects it into Nagios 
(downloadable from the Web site). It is the equivalent of configuring 
NSCA for regular passive checks.
- An SSL certificate. This seems to be the trickiest part; I was working 
with somebody else a couple of days ago who just couldn't get that to 
work for a long time. The monitoring client clearly was working, but 
couldn't connect to the server because of a self-signed certificate.
- And of course you need to add the host and passive checks to Nagios; 
no way around that! I have all the service definitions in hostgroups 
rather than individual hosts, so adding the host is as simple as making 
it a member of the appropriate host groups.

My nagios user only checks basic system stuff, and I haven't run into  
a permission error situation yet, and I check the following by default  
- load, users, disk, swap, memory, processes, databases, raid.

What you CAN do, though it's kind of a p.i.t.a is, is have a key per  
command. So if you have something like check_disk, you can put a  
single key for just that command. On all the servers you roll this out  
to, you can secure it up by doing something like this.

from="172.16.X.X", command="./nagios-plugins/check_disk / -w 10 -c 5"  
SSHKEY HERE

This way if your server does get hacked, the only thing they can do  
with that key is find out how much disk space you have, no matter what  
other command they throw with it.

When you want to add another check, generate another key, and put that  
into your authorized_keys as well, with forced commands.

Note, this is kind of a pain and if you think you are going to use the  
masterControl feature, it will not work very happily. But if this is a  
small setup, say under 50 servers, it's not totally horrible to roll  
this out. I did this with 200 and once it's up and running your set.

mmm. tastes like homework. Crunchy ;) It's a custom plugin. It should  
be created in the directory where you normally store nagios plugins  
(is that it referenced in the script?) and made executable by the  
nagios user.

You can try reducing the number of days data you keep and adding some
indexes.  The solution I think helps most though was contributed by
Marc DeTrano here in a thread here on 3rd/4th March which I summarised
thus:

I simply added a file "nagios.cnf"
under /etc/mysql/conf.d like so:

 [mysqld]
 innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2

and it reduced my Nagios startup time from more than 3 minutes to only
30 seconds!

I already had quite a few of the data_processing_options disabled in
ndomod.cfg and had reduced all of the max_*_age parameters in
ndo2db.cfg to 24 hours (before those my startup time was more than 5
minutes).

Above is the command definition which hopefully you're happy with.
Note the use of "$USER2$" rather than the usual "$USER1$".  This
refers to a macro containing a path to the location of your script.
You should find this in your resource file.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#resource_file

The above is what you should create as your plugin - copy this in to a
file under the directory which $USER2$ points to and make it
executable.

Well basically I have a map (similar to Google Maps) embedded in a
website, which hits a URL to retrieve maps. So I have one check using
check_http to check that the website itself is up and another check on
that URL to make sure that the map service is available. Now if the
map service goes down, the website is still up but the maps won't
appear, which means the website's functionality is significantly
affected. However, it is still up and viewable so doing a check on the
website URL still passes.

Now of course I could just write a script or something to check both
URLs and set that as the check command. There is a problem for me with
this approach, however, because I have some other instances where a
web service depends on other web services. When I want to use these
services in websites, I'd then have to write a check for each script,
each containing every service in the chain that is needed to display
the website correctly. This way of doing things just seems a bit
repetitive to me, especially when I have a check for these web
services already.

You can give check_multi a try (http://my-plugin.de/check_multi).

It allows to combine multiple checks on plugin level and has a
builtin state logic to evaluate the results of these checks.
You can reuse the command files by implementing macros.

If I understood your setup correctly the whole result should return
CRITICAL if either the main website or the map are not accessible.
This is the standard behaviour of check_multi and could be
implemented like this:

# foo.cmd
# call: check_multi -f <foo.cmd> -s URLWEB=<url of website> -s
URLMAP=<url of map>
command [ website ] = check_http ... -u $URLWEB$ ...
command [ map     ] = check_http ... -u $URLMAP$ ...

It should work already with these two statements like you expect it
with simple check_http, only combined. If one of the child checks
fails, the whole construct returns WARNING or CRITICAL.

If you need the RC determination more sophisticated, you can define
it in perl syntax like this:
state [ WARNING ] = website != OK || $website$=~/some evil output/
state [ CRITICAL] = website >= WARNING && map != OK

Cheers,
-Matthias

Hey Marc,

Thanks for the info, much appriciated. However, I cannot seem to understand
why all my users can view the service when the contacts and contact_groups
have no entries. As far as I understand the document in question, thoose
values are only inherited from the host when thoose values arn't defined in
the service object (in the cfg file).

I tried to create a "no-contactgroup" which has no members:
define contactgroup {
        contactgroup_name       no-contactgroup
        alias   Group with none-existing user
}


And the service:
define service {
        host_name       XXX
        service_description     XXX
        check_period    24x7
        check_command   check_nrpe!XXX
        contact_groups  no-contactgroup
        notification_period     18x7
        initial_state   o
[]...
}

And the host:
define host {
        host_name       XXX
        alias   XXX
        address XXX
        parents XXX2
        check_command   check-host-alive
        contact_groups  support
[...]
}

Neither the host or the service have a contacts variable defined.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help!

Sorry, Jim, but my problem is not with Nagios startup. The problem is that
NDOUtils does not update MySQL tables fast. It takes more than 30 minutos do
make an update.

As I?ve told, I?ve noticed that making a query on the nagios_hoststatus
table.

Does anybody has a similiar problem? Has anybody made a query on this table
and compare de last_chek value with the "Last Check" value showed by Nagios?

Thanks,
Rodney.

Message-ID: <F3318834F1F89D46857972DD4B411D700C7888B8@EXCHANGE.thenap.com>

A very small number of hosts on my network serve important roles but aren't always in the MAC address table of the switch they're connected to. Their MAC address assignment gets timed out by the default (i think its 5 minutes) because no data has been sent to them in that amount of time.

For whatever reason, no matter what I do it seems like check-ping always thinks there is a problem.

The response from the rarely used host looks like:

Pinging 192.168.1.8 with 32 bytes of data:

397ms because the switch has to do ARP, etc...

Any suggestions how I can avoid this?

So far i've tried adding -p 5 to the check-ping in hopes that it would somehow use the average of the 5 pings.

thanks,
-Drew

A work around would be to run the check every 4 minutes -- the arp entry
won't time out then

(It takes our boxes less than a milisecond to respond to an arp, 397ms
would imply to me that something else is going on -- isdn link
reaquiring etc)

This does help clarify. If that service is applied to that host, then  
'support' will indeed see that service but no one else will. Contacts  
for hosts will automatically see all services on that host  
(effectively they're at a higher level). See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/cgiauth.html 
. That particular authorization can't be restricted AFAIK.

Subject: Best reporting tools
Message-ID: <49CD1527.4010703@gmail.com>

I'm looking to add some reporting functionality to Nagios... something 
that can report on hostgroups and servicegroups, among others. 
NagiosExchange lists NagiosSLA and NaReTo. NagiosSLA looks good but is 
flagged as being for 2.x only and we're running 3.x. NaReTo looks like 
something to look at as well, but is somewhat old.

Can you guys share what you're doing via addons or customizations (or 
even the built in, stock tools) for reporting (daily, weekly, monthly, 
etc)? Any options preferred over others?

That is 251 processes blocking for some reason, and that is quite bad.  
Check kernel logs (dmesg) and so on. Perhaps you have a faulty drive  
or something? Memory doesn't seem to be an issue.

Subject: Deleted init.d script
Message-ID: <20090328114517.179374e19yd2t3pc@l33tmyst.com>


On my Debian Lenny Virtual Private Server with Nagios 3.06 installed,  
I seem to have accidentally deleted both the init script (in  
/etc/init.d) and the RC script (in /etc/RCS.d). I'm now forced to  
manually start and stop nagios, by running

'/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg'

to start nagios, and killing it's process to stop it. Is there a way  
to regenerate the init script without reinstalling nagios, or could  
some-one upload theirs?

Thanks
Harry Rickards

If you have the sources of your insallation you could copy the file
daemon-init (at least, this is what I understand from the Makefile of
the originial sources at my installation):

install-init: install-daemoninit

install-daemoninit:
        $(INSTALL) -m 755 -d $(INIT_OPTS) $(DESTDIR)$(INIT_DIR)
        $(INSTALL) -m 755 $(INIT_OPTS) daemon-init $(DESTDIR)$(INIT_DIR)/nagios

        @echo ""
        @echo "*** Init script installed ***"
        @echo ""

If you have installed a debian package, you could download the source
(deb-src) or the original debk file of nagios. The init script should
also be in there.

Thanks, I copied the daemon-init script to /etc/init.d/nagios, and t  
works great. Am I right in thinking that to make Nagios start at  
system bootup, I have to create a link to /etc/init.d/nagios in  
/etc/rcS.d, and then enable nagios for my default runlevel with  
sysv-rc-conf, or just linking in the appropriate directory?

Many thanks
Harry Rickards

debian uses update-rc.d to create the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d/; if you
cd to /etc/init.d and as root run

# update-rc.d nagios defaults [enter]

it should do what you want; maybe the symlinks already exist (you said
you deleted the init script, but if you didn't run update-rc.d to
remove the symlinks, they should be there (in theory); just check with
ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*nagios if you see broken links there.

Hi Ricardo,

I've got OpCfg installed and I "think" it's working, and if I understand
things so far it's imported all my nagios settings including objects and
templates and such into the db. I can make changes, adjustments, etc...
with OpCfg and then I've got to export those changes or additions back
out to the Nagios config on disk. However it doesn't appear to be doing
that and I'm not sure why.

All Nagios configuration files for everything on the Nagios server is in
/etc/nagios and OpCfg appears to be aware of that. I've made /etc/nagios
and everything under that directory writable for nagios.apache, but when
I make changes such as create a workstation template and then add a host
made from that template the files aren't being written back to disk.

(Let me know if you need any more information.
The directory structure for Nagios configuration on disk looks like this:

/etc/nagios/:

Charlie,

	Sounded interesting so I gave this a try on our test environment, with 
the following config:

Host *
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p

	Initially, all looked well, but then we started to see these:

Remote command execution failed: Control socket 
connect(/var/log/nagios/.ssh/master-root at 192.168.100.100:22): Connection 
refused

	So you see this as well in your environment?

Camron

Subject: check_ntp on blade systems
Message-ID: <8adc88580903291606ia392e2y6f0c85d861b5ce6b@mail.gmail.com>

I'm using check_ntp for some of my blade systems and it says: "NTP
CRITICAL: No response from NTP server" By using the verbose mode I can
see it's sending:

"sending request to peer 0
re-sending request to peer 0
re-sending request to peer 0
re-sending request to peer 0
re-sending request to peer 0
re-sending request to peer 0
re-sending request to peer 0
re-sending request to peer 0
re-sending request to peer 0

NTP CRITICAL: No response from NTP server"

I used tcpdump from the blade server and can see packets coming in
from the nagios server.

I use check_ntp to monitor many of my other systems without any problem.

I also do lots of other checks (including various SNMP checks) on the
blade system via Nagios without any problem.

Thanks for any help.

Subject: Add users to contact group
Message-ID: <8adc88580903291738o5b99edfesd80c8cb7537428a7@mail.gmail.com>

I would like to add my Active Directory users to nagios contact group.
I have edited /etc/nagios/objects/contacts.cfg file and added:

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       ad
        alias                      ad
        members                 user1, user2
        }

On the same file I defined contact:

define contact{
        contact_name            ad
        use                     generic-contact
        alias                   ad
        email                   email
}

but I get an error: could not find any contact matching "ad"

Is there any way to define all Active Directory users in a group?

Thanks.

After doing a lot of Google searching I found
http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=nagiosplug-devel&a=2007-12&t=5955729

Looks like there is an "-x" switch which will do exactly that.

But I'm having trouble locating that check_dhcp C program or even the
plugin bundle.

Mine doesn't have the "-x" switch.

Does anyone know where can I download this code?

Thanks.

Message-ID: <ea755090903300013r588b1a25k30a680de97c97d56@mail.gmail.com>

A  application is running  on remote server ,I  want  to  execute a perl
script on that remote server  to cehck it's availability and  other stuffs
locally on that remote server and  whatever  output comes  after the
execution of that script  it  should be  available on the  nagios local
monitoring server: Please help me  out, I have   done  following  steps:

Modification on Local Nagios Server:
1.  /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg  made an entry like :

      command[check_nrpe]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H
<REMOTESERVER_IP>

2.  /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/services.cfg  made a following entry
       define service{
        use generic-service
        service_description Netcool status
        check_command    check_nrpe!check_impact
}
restarted the nagios server and the nrpe server on  Nagios localserver



Modification done on the remote server
1.  /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg  made an entry like :

     command[check_impact]=/root/amit/nagioscheck/nagios_impact.pl
-p=<PROCESS_NAME>
   this perl  script  resides on the remote  server
restarted the nrpe server on  remote server.


Now  My  question is how   can  I get  this  working? I  tried most of the
things  available  on  internet but nothing seems to be  working.
Am I missing any  step or  any  local configuration , then please  specify.
It is giving me  hard  time

NRPE version is same  on both remote and  local nagios server  i.e 2.0  and
the check_nrpe  utlity version on the local nagios server is  also 2.0.
Please  help me for the same.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Interesting problem while trying to monitor Oracle
	RAC services
Message-ID: <633e02960903300050p33ecfaebje5357eb6744bfc8f@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

We are facing an interesting but strange issue while trying to monitor
Oracle RAC services.

Oracle RAC is running on AIX 5.3 and nagios is running on Fedora Core 9.

The scripts we are using to monitor Oracle RAC services on AIX are as follows

-------------------------
$ cat check_oracle_services.sh

#!/usr/bin/ksh
# found on the Internet
RSC_KEY=$1

/oracle/crs_home/bin/crs_stat -u | awk \
??????? 'BEGIN { FS="="; state = 0; } \
??????? $1~/NAME/ && $2~/'$RSC_KEY'/ {appname = $2; state=1}; \
??????? state == 0 {next;} \
??????? $1~/TARGET/ && state == 1 {apptarget = $2; state=2;} \
??????? $1~/STATE/ && state == 2 {appstate = $2; state=3;} \
??????? state == 3 {printf "%-45s %-18s\n", appname, appstate; state=0;}'
-------------------------

$ cat check_oracle_services.pl

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use Getopt::Std;

my %return_value = (
??????? OK => 0,
??????? CRIT => 2,
??????? UNKNOWN => 3
);

my $message = "nagios";
my $exit_status;

my %opt=();
getopts("p:h", \%opt);

sub usage(){
??????? print "Usage: $0 -p service_name\n";
??????? exit $return_value{'UNKNOWN'};
}

usage() if defined $opt{'h'};

my $SERVICE = $opt{'p'} if defined $opt{'p'} || usage();

# the following code was added to make sure that nrpe was not getting confused
# with dotted argument
if ($SERVICE =~ "foo") {
??????? $SERVICE = "ora.foo.bar.inst";
}

my $PIPED = qx/ ksh check_oracle_services.sh $SERVICE/;
print $PIPED;

if ($PIPED =~ /OFFLINE/g) {
??????? $exit_status = $return_value{'CRIT'};
??????? $message = "Critical: $SERVICE is not running.";
} else {
??????? $exit_status = $return_value{'OK'};
??????? $message = "OK: $SERVICE is running.";
}

print "$message\n";
exit $exit_status;
-------------------------

When we try to run this script on AIX (local system) the output is as follows:

[srv01@/home/nagios/nrpe/libexec]$ perl check_oracle_services.pl -p foo
ora.foo.bar.inst???????????????????? OFFLINE
Critical: ora.foo.bar.inst is not running.

[srv01@/home/nagios/nrpe/libexec]$ perl check_oracle_services.pl -p
ora.foo.bar.inst
ora.foo.bar.inst???????????????????? OFFLINE
Critical: ora.foo.bar.inst is not running.

The service indeed is offline

[srv01@/home/nagios/nrpe/libexec]$ perl check_oracle_services.pl -p
ora.foodb.bardb1.inst
ora.foodb.bardb1.inst???????????????????????? ONLINE on srv01
OK: ora.foodb.bardb1.inst is running.


Now when we try to run the same thing from nagios server it shows the
services are online even if they are not

[root at nagios libexec]# ./check_nrpe -n -H 10.0.10.20 -c
check_oracle_services -a ora.foo.bar.inst
OK: ora.foo.bar.inst is running.

[root at nagios libexec]# ./check_nrpe -n -H 10.0.10.20 -c
check_oracle_services -a foo
OK: ora.foo.bar.inst is running.

This is strange that we get the correct status when scripts are
executed locally but wrong status when the scripts are executed
remotely.

Has anyone faced a similar issue?? I would appreciate if someone could
give some insights on this.

Thanks

Have you tried "print"ing the message in the end?

It's hard to comment unless you show the contents of script.

first you have to define user1 and user2 in your
/etc/nagios/objects/contacts.cfg

define contact{
       contact_name     user1
       use                     generic-contact
       alias                    user1
       email                   user1 at example.com
}

define contact{
       contact_name            user2
       use                     generic-contact
       alias                   user2
       email                   user2 at example.com
}

then define the contactgroup

define contactgroup{
       contactgroup_name       ad
       alias                   ad
       members                 user1, user2
       }

How  can I run the check_nrpe on the local server?
Please provide me the info.  will it  be  running  as  a service  like  nrpe
in the local server, or is it something  else ,Please clarify
Here  is the content of the  script residing on the remote  server   I am
doing  just a simple check using the currently used  files.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Getopt::Long;

############################ Impact ###################################
$PathOfBaselineFile = "/local/netcool/nagios/baseline";


my %ERRORS=('OK'=>0,'WARNING'=>1,'CRITICAL'=>2,'UNKNOWN'=>3,'DEPENDENT'=>4);
#Argument processing
my $args = GetOptions (
                       "paname|p=s" => \$paname);
$pa = substr($paname,0,6);

if($paname ne '') {
##### parameter check
if (( -e "/usr1/netcool/omnibus/etc/$paname.conf") && ( -e
"$PathOfBaselineFile/$paname.conf"))
{
        $imp_cmd = `cat /usr1/netcool/omnibus/etc/$paname.conf | grep
ncoadmin | egrep -v lmgrd | egrep -v DeackStuckEvents.sh`;
        $imp_cmd_base = `cat $PathOfBaselineFile/$paname.conf | grep
ncoadmin | egrep -v lmgrd | egrep -v DeackStuckEvents.sh`;
        if($imp_cmd eq $imp_cmd_base)
        {
                 print "OK: Impact Command line is same ! \n";
        }
        else
        {
                 print "CRITICAL: Impact Command line is not same ! \n";
                        exit $ERRORS{'CRITICAL'};
        }
}
else
{
        print "$paname configuration file doesn't exist!","\n";
                exit $ERRORS{'CRITICAL'};
}

Hi,

check the environment of the users launching the script. Which user do you
"use" to launch the script locally? And which one from remote?

Thank you for the response.

On remote system (AIX) I am using nagios user to execute the script.
Since the user nagios cannot execute crs_stat we have made group
oinstall as it's secondary group.

$ id
uid=207(nagios) gid=1(staff) groups=300(oinstall)

On nagios server I have tried executing it as root user as well as
nagios user but the problem remains.

Thanks

That would indeed put processes in uninterruptable IO, since the kernel
will refuse to let processes run while it's waiting for a response from
the hardware.

Try using the same hardware but with a different kernel (Windows or Linux)
that has another driver. If the driver *or* the controller is broken,
you'll get unkillable processes.

If the raid hardware is broken, you need to replace the hardware.
If the BSD raid driver is buggy, you need to either get new (and better
supported) hardware, or change the OS.

It sounds to me like you'd want to make the map-check dependent on
the webserver-check. That would suppress notifications from the
map-check when it's the webserver that's bombing out. Do you really
need two notifications when the map-service goes offline?

Define "depend". As I understand the definition, coal-based lifeforms
on our fine planet depend on water and sunlight; Life cannot function
properly without them.
It sounds like you want to make sunlight depend on coal-based lifeforms,
because without the life, the sun is rather pointless.

Instead of trying to coerce dependencies to work backwards, I'd sit
down and think what you want your Nagios installation to do for you,
and why you would want two services to go critical when one of them
does. Isn't one notification and one red blob in the UI enough? If
it isn't, what do you hope to gain from having two notifications and
two red blobs?

I'm sorry, but I still fail to see the point. Perhaps you'd be better
off defining each website as a servicegroup with all of the services
that make up the entire visitor-experience parts of a particular
servicegroup. That would make it possible for you to get some sort of
visualization of what (Nagios-)services affect which customer-services,
while at the same time keeping configuration work to a minimum.

Since you almost certainly want to maintain a single process to handle
the logged lines, why not just write a tail-like program that parses
them one by one as they're written? After all, you'd hardly want to
slog through all the log-entries multiple times anyway.
With this solution, I find it hard to see a need for uniqueness. should
it happen that you still want to be able to uniquely identify lines, I
believe a hash over the last 15 or so lines should suffice, assuming
it's sufficiently strong (say, SHA1 or something). The chance of running
into a collision should be very slim, and if it happens you can just
increase the number of hashed lines.

It seems your blade server isn't running an NTP daemon in listening

We're using our own home-brewed version of Availability and SLA reporting.
We had a look at what was out there and a lot of testing determined that
none of them scaled as well as what we'd hoped. Instead we had to write
our own, which uses quite a lot of tricks to get 100% accurate numbers
while at the same time supporting huge installations with rather modest
disk space, memory and cpu power requirements.

It uses an API to get the figures, so if you have some other tool where
you can feed raw numbers and get reports formatted specifically to your
needs (instead of barcharts, piecharts and fairly boring numbers), that
would work too.

You can download the sources from http://www.op5.org. There's a sandbox
set up at www.op5.com/sandbox where you can create reports to see how
it works and looks. Contact me off-list if you want a password without
registering.

Let me know if you need help getting started.

Subject: MySQL.SOCK Location in NDO2DB
Message-ID: <a4c7bb6d0903300509h74e7bd88h1eae992ec7088798@mail.gmail.com>

Hopefully this question can be posted here as I haven't found a group
specific to NDO2DB  =)
I just installed NDO2DB and am looking to put the data into a MySQL DB on
the same server using UNIX socks. MySQL has been configured to put the sock
file in /tmp/mysql.sock but when I start NDO2DB, it is looking for the file
in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.

I have looked through the ndo2db.cfg file and cannot fine a location to
specify where ndo2db should look to find the sock file. Is there an
undocumented line I can add to override the default location? I know I can
always fall back to adding a link myself in the /var/lib/mysql directory to
/tmp, but I'd rather not go that route and have soft links here and there
and just configure it through the central config file. (I've already
specified the override location through the mysql.default_socket directive
in the PHP.INI file and PHP is working fine.)

I looked at the ./configure --help output and it doesn't look like I can
configure it through re-compiling....

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Nagios remains under plain configuration files.


The opcfg is a configuration utility. On the first installation, you must run an import, thus all original configuration files are imported to mysql database. From this time you must use opcfg to make your new configurations, so you can enjoy a bunch of features.

After you proceed with your new configuration using opcfg, you run an "export" at opcfg interface, so the plain files are updated with new mysql configuration and nagios process is restarted.

You can use our mailing list at http://www.opmon.org/get-involved to more details.

Are you doing an "export" at the end of the process?
Are there error messages at apache log files related to export process?

I think we can move our discussion to opmon.org mailing list.
There we have a group of developers that can help you with this configuration.

Subject: Monitoring applications through NSCA
Message-ID: <633e02960903300610w39405f16of14c4ce390b33171@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I am planning to move application/process monitoring setup from active
to passive monitoring.

I read http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/documentation/misc/NSCA_Setup.pdf
but it doesn't really help on how to setup scripts and how monitoring
is done with NSCA, for example, how to setup scripts, what would be
configuration entry for that.

I tried searching online and nagios-users archive without luck.  I
will appreciate if someone could share their configuration or may be
provide some pointers on how to set it up.

Thanks.

Subject: Bug, Feature or Layer 8 problem?
Message-ID: <1238419017.9415.12.camel@pcandre.nine.ch>

Hello List,

we are generating the timeperiods for our oncall-support via script.
Sometimes, one line of the configfile semes to be ignored:

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name                 andre_2pikett_week
        alias                           Andre 2nd Pikett

    2009-03-29          09:00-24:00
    2009-03-30          00:00-09:00
    2009-03-30          18:00-24:00
    2009-03-31          00:00-09:00
}

In this case there is a problem with the second definition of
2009-03-30, it will be ignored. So I will not get any messages between
18:00 and 24:00.

Of course, if i I use
    2009-03-30          00:00-09:00,18:00-24:00 
it will work.

Unfortunately there is no message during startup of nagios, stating that
it will ignore one line of my configfile.

Is this a bug or a feature? ;)

I am using Version 3.0.6 from Debian lenny.

Subject: Forwarding through intermediate nodes?
Message-ID: <49D0CFF3.9090606@cbio.mskcc.org>

	We have a couple small HPC compute clusters, and would like to monitor 
our nodes. They aren't large enough to justify their own Nagios 
installations on the head nodes, and the heads aren't particularly 
trusted in our network topology.

	But we would like to monitor health of the compute nodes, on a Nagios 
server which *cannot* connect to the nodes directly.

	I didn't find this in the wiki, SF, or Exchange, and it doesn't look 
like something I could do with a single NSCA.

	Is anyone doing this, or forwarding/tunneling Nagios traffic for 
another reason? I'm considering running a couple ssh tunnels on the head 
node, pointing back to the monitoring servers, but not sure how well 
this will work.

	Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks,

Chris

NDO2DB is using the MySQL client libraries (libmysqlclient) on your
system. The default location of the socket is configured there.

Does the regular mysql client work on the server you've set this up?
If it doesn't, I assume you need to add an entry defining the socket
location in the [client] part of the my.cnf file. Also, if you're
using a non-standard location for your my.cnf file, libmysqlclient
won't find it unless you pass it the same environment variables as
you pass to the mysql daemon.

In general, ndoutils work just fine if you install MySQL and all
its client libraries from your distribution's package repositories.
If you start fiddling with compiling on your own, you may well end
up shooting yourself in the foot which, to me, appears to be exactly
what has happened here.

It's a feature, of sorts. Exceptions are parsed as they are encountered,
and timerange definitions are absolute. This means you actually have
to put both all timeranges for a specific date on the same line.

Nagios not warning about it could possibly be a bug, but then again,
it's pretty nifty to be able to temporarily override a value by simply
specifying the variable again later in the object, so I'm not so sure.

Can't you make your script generate timeranges in the proper format?
It seems to me like that would by far be the simplest solution.

I think I'd solve this using a small custom script that runs all the checks
you want against the nodes (I suppose all nodes require more or less identical
checks) and sends the results back to the Nagios server as passive checks.

If the head nodes aren't allowed to talk to Nagios, they could publish the
checkresults (along with a timestamp) through some other means, like http,
ftp or even just a simple netcat session where a polling script on the
Nagios server can fetch them later. Make sure to include a timestamp in the
results-file if you do that, so you can verify that the checks are actually
being run.

Interesting problem. I'd take it kindly if you keep us posted :)

I'm using stunnel to forward the messages via intermediate nodes and I'm 
quite happy with it: Each intermediate node does a namespace 
transformation for the hostname (most of them just prepending the zone 
name), so that I can use the same minimal monitoring script on all 
leaf-nodes (which are sending the same "node name" for redundant and 
nearly identical nodes)

Since name space transformation happens on the stunnel side closer to 
nagios+apache server, no node can send an invalid nagios service 
identifier to fake  messages for other nodes and each connection is 
secured with own client/server key pair to fight message injection.

The tunnel will also do an additional input validation for the forwarded 
messages and output of "invalid" messages (for services/hosts just new 
to the tree) can be used to create nagios configuration automatically.

Subject: Children "unreachable" on soft down?
Message-ID: <758D039D-80C6-49D5-B0F4-03CB8308FADC@frontierflying.com>

Does nagios (3.0.3) mark a child host as unreachable when its parent  
enters a soft down state? I am finding myself getting repeated down  
messages for a host (which is, in fact, down), even though I have  
notifications set to only send a single message. Looking at the logs,  
it would appear that what is happening is that the host is flipping  
between "down" (which notifies me) and "unreachable" (which does not).  
The parent host, however, never enters a hard down state. Looking at  
the logs, what I see is that one ICMP check fails, throwing the host  
into a soft down state, but the next one works just fine, bringing it  
back to an up state.

The logic works fine for the parent host- since it never hits a hard  
down state, it doesn't alert, and everyone is happy. But apparently  
with the child host every time this happens, it switches from critical  
to unreachable and back again, triggering a notification. Is there any  
way to keep this from happening? Thanks.

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for the link. I've been checking (no pun intended) out
check_multi over the last day or two and I like it. My main concern
with this, though, is that if I had 10 websites that were dependent on
the map service then I'll be running the same check 10 times per
notification interval and it just seems kinda wasteful when you
already have one check set up that job. Of course, in my current
situation it isn't a huge issue and may not be in the future but I
just wanted to know what the most efficient solution for my problem
was. In any case, I like the plugin so I'll use it if there aren't any
better options available.

Thanks,
Jarrod

Sorry, I didn't explain that very well. I have a website check that I
want to have depend on the result of a map service check. The thing is
that I would like two notifications to be sent to my email - one for
the service check that is failing and one for each site that is
affected by the crashed service. That way I would know what is
affected and what needs fixing. Now I should mention at this point (if
it wasn't already blindingly obvious) that I'm by no means a Nagios
master. However, my idea was to have a chain of service dependencies
and then not send notifications for service dependencies in between
that I don't want emails about. There's probably a better way of doing
what I want and in that case, I'm all ... eyes.

I'd say that a service "depends" on another when it requires the other
service to provide 100% of its functionality. What I'm trying to say
is that the two services that I'm providing are merely a subset of the
entire dependency chain. The map service depends on data being in a
PostgreSQL database. If the data isn't there, I want two emails - one
saying the website doesn't work and that the data is missing. That
check depends on the database server being available. If it isn't, I
want two emails - one saying that the website is affected and one
saying that the database is down.

Service groups would be enough if I was primarily using the Nagios web
UI but, unfortunately, I'm after email notifications and (as far as I
am aware) you can't define contacts for service groups. I could settle
for a notification saying "Service <name> from the <name> group is
down" or something similar.

If you want to save the http checks for your websites and bail out
as soon as your map service is down you can use ondemand macros
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macros.html).

Let me show it for check_multi, although the general approach can be
used with any other wrapper solution as well:

1. Add the state of your map service to the Nagios website service
definition:
check_command check_multi!-f <foo.cmd> -s
MAPSTATE=$SERVICESTATEID:<host>:<mapservice>$

2. Add a quick exit statement at the beginning of the check_multi
command file which reflects the state of the ondemand macro:
eval [ mapservice ] = \
        if ($MAPSTATE$ != $OK) { \
                print "Website depends on offline map service."; \
                exit $MAPSTATE$; \
        }

3. You will then get notifications for both the map service and all
dependent website services.

You'll find some plugins which might be useful to you (depending on
what your equipment is and whether you can query it using SNMP) at
http://nagios.manubulon.com/ .  Also look at
http://www.nagiosexchange.org where plugins and other useful add-ons
for Nagios can be found.

If you want to graph the output from those plugins, you can use pnp4nagios.

hth,

Jim

The primary reason maybe the low performance in your mysql server with
innodb engine.

Two solutions:
1. tuning your my.cnf to improve the mysql performance;
2. use MyISAM instead of InnoDB engine in your NODUtils db;

Have a look on NagiosExchange http://www.nagiosexchange.org for a
script called nsca_wrapper.  You might need to edit the script
slightly to make it work on AIX.  This allows you to run your checks
from cron, for example:

05,20,35,50 * * * * /usr/local/nagios/scripts/nsca_wrapper -H
thishostsname -S SWAPFREE -C "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_swap -w
20 -c 10" > /usr/local/nagios/var/log/check_swap.log 2>&1

You will need to set up passive checks in your Nagios configuration to
receive these check results.  For example, my template "nsca" looks
like this:

define service {
  name                  nsca
  check_freshness       1
  freshness_threshold   3600
  active_checks_enabled 0
  max_check_attempts    1
  check_command         check_nothing
  register              0
}

And my actual service definition looks like this:

# Passive checks for AIX servers
define service{
  use                   nsca,generic-service
  host_name             thishostsname
  service_description   SWAPFREE
  check_command         check_nothing
  notes                 Records total amount of swap free.
}


The Check Command "check_nothing" simply does nothing.

If you have trouble getting nsca_wrapper to work under AIX, give me a
shout and I'll send you a copy.

hth,

Jim

There's a $SERVICEGROUPNAME$ macro you can use for notifications. I'm
not sure it'll do what you want though. The docs will tell you more
about which macros are available where.

Doesn't flapping detection do what you want? You'd get a few
notifications, but they'd stop after the 3rd flip or something, I think.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.

Subject: check_ping with maximum MTU

I think you are probably not referring to the MTU here, but to the PING 
packet size (the -s option for ping). I'm not sure that check_ping has a 
way to pass that argument to ping, though.

Nagios things should not be run as root so that's fine.

Have you enabled debug mode for ndo2db? Does it report errors? Be sure  
that ndomod and ndo2db are using the same method. Make sure that  
ndo2db isn't having issues talking to your database.

Nagios doesn't care about ndomod.cfg but ndomod does.

per the NDO README --

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

Flapping detection helps, but doesn't solve. For one thing, as you  
mentioned, you still get at least a couple of notifications before it  
kicks in. For another thing, this happens with a frequency of  
something like once an hour or so (not consistently), so the host will  
flip from down to unreachable and back again, triggering an e-mail,  
perhaps do it a second time, and then it will sit in the correct  
"down" state for the next 50 checks or so (thus canceling any flapping  
detection) before repeating the process. It's not like I'm getting  
messages every five minutes or anything, it's just that I'm getting  
repeated down messages every hour or two for hosts that have been down  
and haven't actually changed state.

I could, of course, schedule down time, except that I want to be  
notified if/when the people in the remote station get their act  
together and get the machine(s) in question back online. Also that is  
only partially effective for machines that have been sent in for  
repair, because I don't really know when the scheduled down time will  
be over. They are down, I know they are down, I just don't want to be  
told about it every few hours :-)

Subject: Additional Info in email?
Message-ID: <49D25857.1050201@gmail.com>

I'm using the "check_multiprocs" add on available from NagiosExchange. 
With it configured for a host, if I drill in on the test in the web 
interface, I see:

    Current Status:      OK   (for 0d 8h 51m 46s)

    Status Information:    PROCS OK
    cron ok: 1
    syslogd ok: 1
    xntpd ok: 1
    sshd ok: 7
    sendmail ok: 2
    rpcbind ok: 1
    inetd ok: 1
    lockd ok: 1
    statd ok: 1
    nfsd ok: 1
    rpc.metad ok: 1
    mountd ok: 2

However, last night one of the services was restarted (probably syslogd) 
due to cron. I received an alert via email about it, but all I saw was:

    ***** Nagios *****

I suspect you need to add the $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macro after the  
$SERVICEOUTPUT$ macro in your notification command --

Worked perfectly, thanks! Only now I have to update the BUFFER lines in 
NRPE's include/common.h and recompile it for the clients...

I'm playing with the check_log and check_logs.pl tools and am curious... 
do any of you have a list of strings/reg exp that you commonly look for? 
Should I be looking for warn|WARN|error|ERROR, etc Perhaps someone has a 
list of common warnings I should be looking for? I'll be monitoring both 
Linux and Solaris, so /var/log/messages, /var/adm/messages, 
/var/log/secure, /var/log/wtmp, /var/log/utmp, etc...

This seems to have worked for the WARNING or CRITICAL notifications, but 
not for recovery emails. If I grep for "Additional Info" in my 
checkcommands.cfg, it only matches for the "notify-service-by-email" 
command definition, yet in recovery emails, I still see the "Additional 
Info" line at the bottom, but no content. Any ideas on how I would get 
the $LONGSERVICEOUPUT$ in a recovery email as well?

Subject: Using nagios for multiple data centers
Message-ID: <C5F7D518.17F45%mlitwin@stubhub.com>

I would like to pose a more advanced question to everyone here on how I
might use our current implementation of nagios to monitor multiple data
centers without having to set up multiple nagios servers for each. The
reason for doing is to have the ability to view all nagios alerts from a
single incidents page, generate integrated graphs and reports, and reduce
the number of servers in general. However, while doing this, I want to also
be able to be able to view the just the alerts that are relevant to a single
data center at a time, thus limiting the view to just those alerts.

The function of our data centers will be that one is a mirror of the other
and will act as failover. While we need to make sure both are up and
healthy, one will be in an active state and one will be in an standby state,
and our NOC will need to be able to focus on just one or the other. Thus,
aside from assigning each datacenter with active and standby state, one
concern is to be able to view just the alerts for the hosts and services
relevant to a single data center. This means having a main screen like
nagios has for alerts, but one for data center A and the other for data
center B. I was thinking that I could delineate which hardware was part of
which data center by using hostgroups, dependencies, or a mix of both. The
point of this would be to be able to view and report data from hosts and
services from a single data center as well as all of them.

Are there any documented methods for doing this that you know of? If not, do
you have any suggestions on how one might go about this? I am open to all
reasonably sane suggestions and ideas. Clearly, usability is the main goal,
but ease of administration will also be just as important. Lastly, this
would have to be added to an existing nagios installation, so completely
re-architecting the entire thing is not something I can do as I need to
preserve the data that has already been collected for our active data
center.

Thanks for your input!

It should just work. I'm not aware of, nor can I find any difference  
in the code for handling macros differently based on the notification  
type. Maybe I'm overlooking it but I haven't heard of the problem  
before...

Message-ID: <2bb4107c0903311344x7e5ff415v30c70ee83e87b4c8@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, I work for a fairly large company looking for at replacing/upgrading our
monitoring system.  We are now on Nagios 3.06 monitoring 1300 hosts and 8500
services via ssh (all from one server).

Does anybody know of any company offering Nagios consultancy or support in
Melbourne (or elsewhere in Australia) ? Its something that upper management
need before they will consider sticking with Nagios longer term.

I look forward to any responses including feedback on good/bad experiences
with them.


Cheers,
Ian O
