Since you are getting that error, I don't think the firewall is the
problem.  If it were the firewall, I'd expect a timeout issue.

First, make sure you are passing the proper community string and SNMP
version into the script:

./check_sasraid_megaraid.pl -H bullwinkle -C <community string> -T megaraid
-s <1 or 2c>

If you still are getting that error, try 'perc4' as your -T argument.

Lastly (or firstly, I suppose), check to make sure you actually have a
MegaRAID adapter:

dmesg | grep -i raid

If you do, you should see a line like:

Vendor: MegaRAID  Model: LD 0 RAID5  139G  Rev: 513O

My guess is you have an old version of perl or missing something else...

How did you install perl and Nagios/Nagios plugins?  I just tested this
plugin on a CentOS 5.3 box which had perl and nagios-plugins installed via
yum repository.  Worked just fine.

I'd install nagios-plugins from yum and see if that clears things up.  If
it doesn't you might want to check which version of perl you are running
and upgrade it.

Looks the same.  Double checked the user running nrpe is really
nagios?  How about running "env -i" before testing the script locally
to see if there are any issues with environment being loaded when
executed remotely.

>The mention of check_cpu should be replaced with check_procs, sorry for the typo.

Figured that was what you meant ;)

Nagios itself doesn't receive emails, but if you have control over the 
mail server in some form, you can make it work. For instance, if you 
have sendmail (or anything that can invoke procmail), you can use that 
to call a script, and the script in turn can send an external command to 
Nagios.

Subject: Check Windows Updates question
Message-ID: <1241184286.3430.0@antares>

Hi,

I try to use the plugin  
<http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=2639.html;d=1> via  
nrpe as to detect pending Windows updates.  However, running the  
plug-in says

<snip>
root at my-server:/opt/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H winbox -c  
check_win_updates ; echo $?
Critical: 10 Updates detected! No Reboot required!
2
</snip>

but when I log onto the Win box and run the Win update, it says that  
there are no pending updates.

Any idea what I missed here?  I would really like to use that plug-in...

Thanks, Albrecht.

Host OS is CentOS 5.x (originally 5.2 with ongoing updates applied via 
yum.)  Perl is default install v 5.8.8. On the Nagios box (actually a 
VM) I'm using Groundwork Community Edition 5.3 VM as provided by 
groundwork. I've not actually connected the plugin to anything Nagios 
yet, I'm just running it from the command line.

I did have to install Net::SNMP for perl from CPAN.

Hmmm, what a puzzle.

Doesn't matter if you're not using the plugin within Nagios yet.  What
matters is if you have all the perl utilities installed.

If you haven't already, install the following:

yum install nagios-plugins

Then rerun the script.  I have a CentOS 5.2 box with Perl, Nagios, and
Nagios-plugins installed via yum and I don't have the problems you do
running the script.

Progress, of sorts.

I installed nagios on another CentOS box to ensure that you and I are 
working from the same essential config. Had exactly the same perl errors 
as before. Doing some debugging of the script, it occurred to me that 
the first error

	substr outside of string at ./check_sasraid_megaraid.pl line 461.

was a great big clue perhaps the script wasn't getting anything back from the percsnmp daemon on the monitored box. 

Since I was running snmpd using the default snmpd.conf, I figured that since I'm only going to use the percsnmpd, why not  symlink percsnmpd.conf to snmpd.conf and try again. This got me much further, though still with errors:

	snmp error: No response from remote host 'bullwinkle'
	Megaraid UNKNON - could not retrieve snmp table blah blah

OK, so I'm guessing that something is broken in my snmp config. Guess it's time to try to figure that out. RTFM, as they say!

I thought about writing a wrapper script, just wanted to make sure there
wasn't something (better) out there already..

*OH* ...  I figured it out.  Duh..  Should have tried this before.
Here's the behaviour I was looking for :

./check_snmp -H 10.0.0.1 -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0 -r
[^3]$

In other words, return an OK value UNLESS you get a 3 ...  The only
concern I have with this is that I can't figure out how to restrict this
to ONLY a 3.  As I see it, I believe it would match 3, 13, 23, etc.  If
I put a ^ at the beginning, though, it doesn't match properly..  But,
what I have is enough to start.

Well, if I use the default snmpd.conf, I can connect to the host using 
snmpwalk locally and from the nagios host, but I can't see anything 
related to the perc array. It is this configuration that causes the perl 
substr error when I run check_sasraid_megaraid.

Renaming percsnmpd.conf -> snmpd.conf, I can't connect to the host at 
all either using snmpwalk or the script.

Both conf files have a line "pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582 /usr/sbin/percmain" 
as the last line of the file, but I don't understand enough about snmp 
(reading the docs is giving me a headache! :) to be able to connect the 
dots.

Would you share relevant snmpd.conf info for me, James?

Much thanks for your patience and advice.

First, have you verified that the perc agent is actually running on the
remote host?

ps -ef | grep perc

Furthermore, you're certainly not going to be able to connect to your
remote server via SNMP by using the default percsnmpd.conf file.

If you are able to connect to your host using the original snmpd.conf file
with the added perc statements, then you are fine.

Next, are you running SNMP v1 or v2?  That's important as you have to
provide the correct version to the plugin.

Lastly, what happens when you do an snmpwalk from the remote host using the
following?

snmpwalk -c wiband -v 2c localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582

You should get a bunch of valid, snmp output.  If not, try using version 1.
If you do get valid output, then SNMP/percSNMP are setup correctly on that
host.

Yep, percagent is clearly running per ps -ef.

    snmpwalk -c public -v 2c localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582

returns

    SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3582 = No more variables left in this MIB

To be honest, I'm stumped.  Have you disabled SELinux to see if that does
the trick?  At this point in time it's a problem with SNMP, the Dell Perc
agent, and/or the controller.  You might open a ticket with Dell to see if
there are any known compatibility issues with the software and your
specific card.

Message-ID: <277020fc0905011443o601d949bwaea7c055ca43186f@mail.gmail.com>

We're trying to use the check_mssql_plugin from Gerhard's site here:

http://www.consol.de/opensource/nagios/check-mssql-health

It seems not to work on 64 bit systems.  When we run it on our 64 bit
nagios host we get this error:

[root at monitorbox libexec]# ./check_mssql_health
--hostname=server.example.com --username=nagios --password=secret
--mode=list-databases
bumm Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at
./check_mssql_health line 1886.

Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
./check_mssql_health line 1902.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening?  I did have to patch and
build perl-DBD-Sybase from source, because the Makefile.PL in CPAN did
not support 64 bit systems.

Well, krikey!

SELinux is disabled so that isn't in play. I will get in touch with 
Dell, although their linux-poweredge mailing list (where I also asked 
the same question as here) has returned null.

I appreciate all of your help with this, James. Karma points for you!

Attached is a sample snmpd.conf config.

Just change COMMUNITY-STRING and the 192.168.1.0/24 settings to what works
for you.  If you are still having problems, then it's most likely your RAID
card is not supported by the version of Perc agent you downloaded.

Wow, that changed things big time.

Using snmpwalk locally this time resulted in 221 lines of output along 
the lines of

    SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3582.1.1.14.0 = INTEGER: -1

check_sasraid_megaraid says

    Megaraid OK - 2 logical disks, 6 physical drives, 1 controllers found

I think I'll compare the two snmpd.conf files that I've got. Maybe learn 
something.

Dude, you rock!

Thanks again!

Not something you missed, but the plugin author.  The plugin reads the
"ReportingEvents.log" file in the SoftwareDistribution folder, and
looks for a specific ID.  Unfortunately it appears that log isn't
rotated on each check, which means that you had, at one point, several
updates pending, and WSUS hasn't updated the status successfully
since.

Try stopping wuauctl on the server in question, and renaming the log
file.

net stop wuauctl
C:\windows\softwaredistribution\ReportingEvents.log <rename/move>
net start wuauctl
wuauclt /detectnow

Trigger another check, and see what comes back.  If you still see odd
issues, take a look at the log file, and search for the line that
looks like this:

  Windows Update Client successfully detected 0 updates

If this still doesn't work out for you, there are plenty of other
options on the http://nagiosexchange.org such as:

  http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=2547.html;d=1

Good luck

Message-ID: <c98caf810905012216t267c4af3y6e7c5d146d115eb3@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

After installing Nagios 3.0.6, I login to the web interface using
http://localhost/nagios.
When I attempt to restart the Nagios service using 'Process Info', the error
thrown is as seen below.

=-=-=
Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for
update!

The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be
incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions.

An error occured while attempting to commit your command for processing.

*Return from whence you came
*=-=-=

I checked the directory permissions and here is the output.

*Output of 'ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var'*
drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 4096 2009-04-18 07:25 rw

*Output of 'ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/rw'*
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagcmd 14049 2009-04-18 07:25 nagios.cmd
=-=-=

Any idea what else need to be done?

Regards,
Jim

It appears that that service isn't running on my box (Windows XP  
Professional SP2 German version), although the log file exists.

> net stop wuauctl

Command results in (my vague translation from German to English)

<snip>
System error 1060 occurred.
The specified service is not an installed service.
</snip>

> C:\windows\softwaredistribution\ReportingEvents.log <rename/move>

I was not able to rename that file before I disabled the "Automatic  
Updates" service in Windows.  Is is launched (according to the service  
control panel) via the command "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k  
netsvcs".

> net start wuauctl

Same as above, although the error now reads

<snip>
The name for the service is invalid.
You get more help by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.
</snip>

> Trigger another check, and see what comes back.

Using the script from

Still, running the Windows Updates through IE doesn't show any pending

Any ideas?

It is possible that there are updates available, but none of these are "high 
priority", so they are not appearing when you go to the Windows Update 
website?
Did you check the website for "optional" updates?    It looks like some of 
the contributed plugins on nagiosexchange do not check the priority when 
displaying the list of available updates, so you get a list of every 
available update.

What user is your web server running as?  Going to assume something
like www-data, or apache.  In either case, the above permissions
wouldn't allow for access.  You could add your webserver user into the
nagcmd group to get permissions.

Hi Eric:

You're right - these update were in the categories "Software, Optional" and "Hardware, Optional".  After installing them manually, the they also disappeared from the list reported by check_nrpe.

It would now be nice to have the options to either exclude optional updates completely from the check or to exclude them from the "critical" and "warning" counters (i.e. if there are no important updates, check_nrpe still returns ok, but once there is an important one, the list of optional ones is included in the performance data).

Do you know the property of the object returned by the searcher interface which indicates if the update is important or optional (I hope there is one...)?  I would then tweak the script.

Thanks, Albrecht.

That being said, not entirely sure if the windows update service knows
the difference between a critical, and optional update when a WSUS
server is not involved.  You could use the code above, and look for
ones that have the AutoSelectOnWebSites set to yes/true/1.  This
should give you the same view as what you get on the website.

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=2547&view=File1;d=1

That should be a good base, you can probably just modify the search
criteria, and ass "and AutoSelectOnWebSites = 1"

Hi All,

Has anyone managed to figure out how to only show "hard" status' on the 
tactical display screen?

I hope so... otherwise I'd like to request this as a feature/wish list...

Hi

did you install libtds ? it wont work without it.

"MS-SQL started out as Sybase 4.2, and there are still a lot of similarities
between Sybase and MS-SQL which makes it possible to use DBD::Sybase to
query a MS-SQL dataserver using either the Sybase OpenClient libraries or
the FreeTDS libraries (see http://www.freetds.org)."

Question from Nagios newbie:

I need an access to the whole Nagios history to the complete log archive.
As Nagios (due to logrorating??) compresses the logs, I can't see for
example stats for the whole year or so. So I'm getting a message:

Error: Cannot open log file
'/var/log/nagios/archives/nagios-04-28-2009-00.log' for reading!


Is there a possibility or way to let the log files not to be compressed
and therefore the whole history available at ANY time, please?

Please help me.
Thank you.

Subject: Performance data issues
Message-ID: <24F98632-0727-47FB-B8D2-F53F1F557A81@karlsbakk.net>

Hi all

I have recently enabled process_performance_data in nagios.cfg and in  
the templates and setup pnp. this seems to work, but nagios doesn't  
seem to start loggin performance data until I force a check.  
Restarting it doesn't help much. Is this intentional? I have 100+  
hosts in nagios, and forcing checks for all of them and their services  
will take some time.

Also (it might be offtopic), does anyone know how I can include the  
javascript file to allow on-mouseover graphs with pnp? the docs are  
unclear on that.

Best regards

roy

Nagios does not compress rotated logfiles. If logfiles are compressed,
something else is doing the compressing. In that case, you need to
disable that (whatever it is) and undo the damage it has done.

Martin,
   were you able to solve this problem by changing check_result_reaper

Easy answer: you can't.

If you want checks to happen at predefined times and in a
predefined order - use passive checks.

Is it reasonably possible to make Nagios only send one notification
when a host or service hits a warning, but continue sending
notifications based on the notification_interval directive when it is
critical?

Subject: Acknowledgement after escalation,
	sends email to the escalation email?
Message-ID: <64616928-49E3-461F-9D7F-A254AD2EEC22@crystal.harvard.edu>

Hi all,

Okay, here's the problem.  I set up nagios to send emails to our RT  
system for certain problems.  For example:


define serviceescalation{
         host_name               server
         service_description     Uptime
         contact_groups          admins,rt
         first_notification      3
         last_notification       3
         notification_interval   0
         escalation_period       24x7
         escalation_options      c
         }



This worked perfectly today, 'server' failed the 'Uptime' service  
check, and on the third notification, it went into the RT system.
I logged into the Nagios web interface, and acknowledged the problem.   
Nagios then sent the acknowledgement email into RT, which opened a  
second ticket.
That shouldn't happen.  How do I disable Nagios from sending  
acknowledgement emails to the email that it escalated to.  I know I  
could have unchecked the box to send email, but I'd rather for Nagios  
to ONLY do what I told it to do, which is to send out the escalation  
on the third notification, and not try and be smart and send  
acknowledgements to that address too.


Thanks.

--Peter

You can do this using service escalations (except the interval for
ongoing critical notifications will be defined in your service
escalation definition, not in the notification_interval directive of
your service definition).

See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#serviceescalation
(especially note the escalation_options directive)

Jim

For your use of the escalation... For other uses, that acknowledgment  
e-mail is quite desired...

You can't. You can, however, filter out the $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ of  
'ACKNOWLEDGMENT' in the notification script you are calling for that  
contact.

And where did you tell nagios what notification types to send to the  
escalated contacts; that specifically restricted acknowledgements?  
Heh. It was told by the Nagios developer to send acknowledgment  
notifications to any contact that received a prior notification. This  
is very longstanding and generally desired behavior that currently  
trumps anything you think you've told nagios to do in that regard. ;)

Message-ID: <43BAB891D6D01742AFDEA3D62DCE9E5D2514CB@uwbb-cat2.unwiredbb.local>

Hi everyone,

When scheduling downtime, it asks to put in comments in the box and
select the time and what not. When you click submit, and it submits it
for processing, it puts all this data into the event log, but after it's
processed, the host comment only lists:

05-04-2009 10:31:13	(Nagios Process)	This host has been
scheduled for fixed downtime from 05-04-2009 10:31:01 to 05-04-2009
12:31:01. Notifications for the host will not be sent out during that
time period.	288	No	Scheduled Downtime	N/A	Delete
This Comment


It doesn't say who issued it or why (as listed in the comments field).
Is this normal behavior? If it is, can we get this added so it will also
add this information to the host comments area so that when someone goes
to look, it says who scheduled it and why? 

The way I have to find this information out now is by reading the event
log.

I understand this.  I just viewed it as I told nagios to send one  
notification at a specific point, so I was surprised when it started  
sending acknowledgement emails.
So there isn't a specific option to disable acknowledgments?


escalation_options      c

^^ implies to me, that it will ONLY send escalation emails on critical  
status.  I think there should be a field similar to this that allows  
enabling/disabling the acknowledgement email.

Either way, whether you agree that this is something that should be  
easily user-configurable or not, can you tell me specifically how to  
stop this behavior?


Cheers,
--Peter

Thank you so much - that indeed did the trick!  It's now working  
perfectly for me (with the exception of an ugly display of German  
national characters, but that's not important).  I already sent the  
modified version to the author, hopefully he will update his one on  
nagiosexchange.

Thanks again.
Albrecht.

I presume that you are currently passing the $NOTIFACTIONTYPE$ macro  
to your notification script in it's command{} definition (see the  
command pointed to by that contact's service_notification_commands). I  
don't know if you've created a special notification script to handle  
the RT integration but that script should compare the value of the  
NOTIFICATIONTYPE parameter to the word 'ACKNOWLEDGMENT' and not send a  
notification to RT if it matches.

If that notification command is simply calling /bin/mail or /bin/ 
mailx, you'll need to create a wrapper script to perform the test  
above before calling /bin/mail or /bin/mailx.

That's about as specific as I can get.

Subject: check_disk and CD/DVD in Solaris
Message-ID: <49FF4C58.3080201@gmail.com>

I have check_disk setup to do monitor all local disks so that I don't 
have to make edits everytime I add a new filesystem or mount point. 
Unfortunately, on Solaris, mounted CD's and DVD's show as local volumes 
and as 100% full. Unfortunately, check_disk (the stock one) is not a 
simple shell script that I can edit to throw in a "grep -v cdrom" line. 
I'm curious how you guys are handling this? Do you define all your 
filesystems manually for Solaris hosts? Are you using an alternate test? 
Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

BTW: please don't remind me of the joys of the open source community and 
how I can just edit the code. I'm a sysadmin with lots of perl and shell 
scripting experience, but no C experience so I'd be more inclined to do 
the work of manually defining all the filesystems to be monitored than I 
am to figure out how to edit the code. Of course, if one of you knows 
how to make the edit and wants to send over your .c file for me to 
compile, I wouldn't complain... :)

With this:

    >sudo -u nagios env -i /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -a "-L /var/sipenv-10.1.2.1/log/b2bua.log" -C python -c 1:1

I get the same result: the process is found.  As for the userid:

    >ps auxww | grep nrpe
    nagios     646  0.0  0.1  2568  1596  ??  Ss    4Feb09   6:49.40 /usr/local/sbin/nrpe2 -c /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg -d

Thanks for responding.  Any other thoughts?  I'm stuck and am considering writing
a python script to replace check_procs as a workaround.

It is normal behaviour, but you can see the information (and cancel
scheduled downtime) in the 'Downtime' screen.

I believe you can control this mechanism best if you use an eventhandler.

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

and check what macros might be useful to you.

There's a detailed section about integrating Nagios with ticketing
systems in the book "Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring" ISBN
9781597492676

hth,

Jim

Subject: Problems with service dependency
Message-ID: <c9c496260905050016rac7b937tab9b182986b20e95@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

Having some issues getting service dependency to work, when doing a
configuration check after modifying my settings, it never completes and
seems to hang at "Checking for circular host and service dependencies..."


This is my basic setup for dependency right now:
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_name                  Windows
service_description             NRPE Agent
dependent_hostgroup_name        Windows
dependent_service_description   CPU Usage,Disk Usage,Memory Usage,Remote
Procedure Call Service
execution_failure_criteria      n
notification_failure_criteria   c,u
}

Does anyone spot any errors?

Message-ID: <b8552ef40905050024m20b02ff1vbb264b47eea3a0ce@mail.gmail.com>

Nagios server: Red Hat Enterprise 4

Nagios version: 3.0.3 June 25, 2008

Monitoring: Windows Server 2003 machines.

Windows client on Windows server 2003 machines: NSclient++ (version 0.3.5.2
2008-09-24, platform: w32)



Some questions:



1. Time @ Nagios server & time @ Client (Windows server 2003) are the same
and notify if there's difference between them.

I don't know of any such plug-in that is capable of doing that, for example
that it records the time on a remote server and send it to Nagios, then when
Nagios receives it , than it should execute a script that would

compare the received time value of remote server to its local time and send
you the notification if those are different.



2. Monitor specific services (for example application's service)

a) Get notifications if a service is not in started mode.

b) Get notifications if there's CPU load above level given (this is related
to a specific service and not to the general cpu load).

I found out how to do this for the machine's CPU load (but not to a specific
service).



3. Get notification if a specific message appeared in the windows server
event log (warning and error).

Message-ID: <46EEEA5FAED9CA479556002BA9C27FD705C59DC1@iw50.iwbnet.ch>

Hi

 

I used with RedHat "service nagios stop/start" to manage the nagios server but I'll see that the stop is not enough because one process is running :

 

ps -ef|grep nagios

root     16729 16670  0 09:21 pts/1    00:00:00 grep nagios

nagios   27223     1  0 Apr24 ?        00:02:10 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

 

Which command to use to stop nagios properly??

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

service nagios stop

is the right way to stop it. Probably you have some issues with the
mananager script.

Paste here the output of

service nagios stop

and the output of

sh -x /etc/init.d/nagios stop

Message-ID: <abcb6e500905050150n5b012323q756f2d762bf053ae@mail.gmail.com>

Hello All,

In my archtecture I need to use check_by_ssh for remote checks. for some
plugins like http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles and many
others (not standards) when I  execute these checks on remote hosts using
check_by_ssh I have the following output :
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles not found , It seems it need to
have the script on the remote hosts.

Do you have any idea how to solve this issue please?

Many thanks
Kaouther

Hi,

Have you installed the plugin on the remote hosts ?
If no, install it and re-test your check !

Subject: Maximum length of plugin output
Message-ID: <4A000858.2040209@tugraz.at>

Hi!

Currently i struggle with the following: My plugins returns the line
below, containing _lots_ of info and also perfdata.



OK:  BB Temp is 34C,  Front Panel Temp is 25C,  MCH Therm Margin is
-32C,  Mem Therm Margin is -14C,  Fan 1A is at 3712 RPM,  Fan 2A is at
3538 RPM,  Fan 3A is at 3770 RPM,  Fan 4A is at 3712 RPM,  Fan 5A is at
4698 RPM,  Fan 1B is at 7030 RPM,  Fan 2B is at 7252 RPM,  Fan 3B is at
7548 RPM,  Fan 4B is at 7252 RPM,  Fan 5B is at 6660 RPM,  P1 Therm
Margin is -47C,  P2 Therm Margin is -53C|BB_Temp=34;;;
Front_Panel_Temp=25;;; MCH_Therm_Margin=-32;;; Mem_Therm_Margin=-14;;;
P1_Therm_Margin=-47;;; P2_Therm_Margin=-53;;;


But in the logfiles I see that nagios cuts the plugin output after "Fan
5B is at". This leads to NO perfdata. So, what is the maximum length of
plugin output Nagios is able to handle ? I did a quick search through my
config files, but did not findy anything appropriate.

Hi All, 

I am using Nagios along with pnp4nagios/rrdtool for reporting/graph.

I am able to view services dashboard for individual host. is it possible 
to view single graph for service/resource (i.e memory utilization) graph 
for all hosts/hostgroups ?

as of now every host has single graph for their services.but I want to 
view one single specific performance (i.e. Memory utilization)  graph for 
all hosts/hostgroups.

 I am currently using following versions

Nagios 3.0.5
pnp4nagios 0.4.13
RRDtool 1.2.19

Your problem is exactly what the output says : the script you want to execute was not found on your remote hosts, so you'll have to copy/install it on your remote hosts in order to execute your checks.

Hi

 

I used with RedHat "service nagios stop/start" to manage the nagios server but I'll see that the stop is not enough because one process is running :

 

ps -ef|grep nagios

root     16729 16670  0 09:21 pts/1    00:00:00 grep nagios

nagios   27223     1  0 Apr24 ?        00:02:10 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

 

Which command to use to stop nagios properly??

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Subject: NRPE Arguments
Message-ID: <c4ae53ee0905050654s3cc56a12w8ebf831afa3f3624@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could give a quick run-down of the security
issues surrounding argument passing to NRPE?

If my systems (including the monitoring server) are all going to be on
a trusted, internal network, and if I configure my NRPE agents to only
accept connections from my monitoring server, what other security
precautions should I take when using argument passing?

Cheers,
Chris

I'm going to guess that you're using nagios-2?

[nagios-2-src/include]$ grep MAX_PLUGIN *

objects.h:#define MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH			348	/* max. length of  
plugin output */

I expect that you can probably increase the value above within  
reasonable limits (say 1024 or less) and recompile with no detriment  
but YMMV.

According to What's New for nagios-3, this has been increased to 4K  
along with support for multi-line plugin output.

Not too sure, but suggest you have a look in http://nagiosexchange.org
and search there for "ntp".

NSClient++ does this very well.

Again, I believe NSClient++ will do this for you.  If not you can find
a plugin on NagiosExchange which does and run it under NSClient++

Again, use NSClient++ for this.

http://nsclient.org/nscp/

If you need a kick-start to get it all working, I can recommend
Wolfgang Barth's book "Nagios" published by No Starch Press.

You can do that sort of thing using DRRAW (
http://web.taranis.org/drraw/ ) to make graphs from your existing PNP
.rrd databases.

Hello Jim!
Thank you for the quick reply.

"NSClient++ does this very well." - Well, the question is how.
Sorry but I am only familiar with basic NSClient++ configurations and
didn't found documentation for more advanced features.

For example let assume I want to monitor if Messenger service (from
services.msc) is not started and get notification via mail.
NSCA is configured in the Nagios linux server ? how I do the service
related configuration in the NSclient++.
Where I need to configure it? In the ini file? What is the syntax? Can
you give an example for the line/code/configuration I need to add in
the NSclient? Pls be more detailed (remember I am a noob).

One more question ?
So I need to update all my NSClients in all my monitored servers if I
want the services mentioned to be monitored, right?
I can't configure it in the Nagios linux server , right?

Thanks for helping me with it.

All,
   I am looking for a good way to show trending of performance data.  I am
keeping all service and host check data in ndo database.  Are there any
software out there which possible works with cricket ndo2db and nagios.  As

Hi All I'm about to venture into Asterisk so I can use nag2ask, but before I go and install 
Asterisk has anybody got nag2ask working with Trixbox at all, just seems a simpler router for us 
to use instead of trying to teach our guys Asterisk then can you Trixbox's GUI

Thanks all

Ntt,
Here's an example from my nagios server that is checking mail services on a
windows server running nsclient++

/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg 

# Check Windows Server Services
define command{
  command_name check_nt_service
  command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v
SERVICESTATE -p 12489 -d $ARG1$ -l $ARG2$ -t 60
}

This checks the service state of a specified service with a timeout of 60
seconds (I give a 60 second timeout because some of our windows servers are
clear across the country and timeout have been an issue in the past)

/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg (We split up our servers, routers,
printers into separate config files)

define service{
  use				local-service
  host_name			MAILSERVER (whatever your server name is)
  service_description 	Merak Mail POP3/IMAP Service
  check_command		check_nt_service!SHOWALL!'Merak POP3 / IMAP'
  }


For for information run: ./check_nt --help | more in your libexec on the
server (wherever you put your nagios plugins)

Subject: [Nagios-users] ?????: Few questions (monitoring time, specific
service , event log).

Hello Jim!
Thank you for the quick reply.

"NSClient++ does this very well." - Well, the question is how.
Sorry but I am only familiar with basic NSClient++ configurations and
didn't found documentation for more advanced features.

For example let assume I want to monitor if Messenger service (from
services.msc) is not started and get notification via mail.
NSCA is configured in the Nagios linux server ? how I do the service
related configuration in the NSclient++.
Where I need to configure it? In the ini file? What is the syntax? Can
you give an example for the line/code/configuration I need to add in
the NSclient? Pls be more detailed (remember I am a noob).

One more question ?
So I need to update all my NSClients in all my monitored servers if I
want the services mentioned to be monitored, right?
I can't configure it in the Nagios linux server , right?

Thanks for helping me with it.

Subject: Multiple filters on cgis
Message-ID: <4A00726E.7090804@srce.hr>

Hello to all,

I apologize in advance if this is a known issue, but I wasn't able to 
dig out answers via archive's search engine.

Currently CGIs (version 3.x) enable filtering only based on a single entity:
- host
- hostgroup
- servicegroup
For example status.cgi?host=web.server&servicegroup=web_shop will take 
the last entity listed and show me all services in servicegroup web_shop 
on all hosts.

In addition, I'm aware that it is possible to filter further with 
host/service status type and properties. Even for that dropdown box 
would be nicer than guessing what individual code means.


Currently I solve this by creating servicegroups like 
"<host>-<servicegroup>" or "<hostgroup>-<servicegroup>" which allow me 
to get what I want on interface.


Could someone confirm that mixing of these filters is impossible? Or if 
there is patch available for this feature? Or if something like this 
will be implemented in future?


Thanks in advance,
emir

Subject: Hosts with dynamic IP addresses
Message-ID: <4A007757.30502@berkeley.edu>

I'd like to monitor a few user laptops in our environment.  They use 
wireless so they often get dynamic IP addresses.  Is there a way that 
Nagios can accept any connections, or, a range of addresses for a host?  
I don't have control of the DHCP server so I cannot assign a fixed IP 
address.

Subject: Nagios Performance
Message-ID: <8A3891628FB44140A55F89AD6D15E5CD@PCRoberto>

Hi all,
I have 10.000 check, 2300 host, 632 hostgroup 19xx host dependence, 7 
contacs and 2 contactgroup (no escaltion at the moment).
I sent alarm by email. Check is perl based for snmp query and ping.
My server is 4 processor Xeon 2.8GHz (32bit), 3GB RAM 5 HD 36GB SCSI 
(2xRAID1 System+3xRAID5 /usr & /var).
OS is Fedora Core 9. Nagios is 1.4.1 (it is old I know) with mysql for 
comment/downtime/hostext/serviceext/status.

When I exec status.cgi (but is the same for any other cgi) it takes more 
than one minute. When I check my configuration it takes more than one minute 
(real time by command 'time  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg').

MySQL is ok (mysqltuner is all ok).
Apache is OK (I have not more than 5 clients in a time)
No error in log. More than 400MB/sec for transfer rate from disk (I have 
tried with ramdisk with nagios/etc but its the same).

How can I improve my server's performance?

Thks
  Roberto

Message-ID: <699b436a0905051205h496fa398r6f13c86a0ec42c56@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Friends,

Is it possible to monitor a service i.e "exchange service" on the clustered
environment instead of monitoring it individually on each  clustered node.

Currently "exchange services are being monitored individually on each
clustered node.
FYI : The server is a Windows clustered environment.

Can i use check_cluster ??
 If i am not wrong check_cluster works only for Linux cluster. Is that
right??

Please advice me on what plugin to use  to achieve this.
Thanks

Why don't you use check_tcp on tcp port for network service offered by exchange (smtp25/pop110)?

Well known issue with 1.x and large installations (at least it was  
well known when 1.x was widely used)

Probably the structures referenced below and parsing of the host  
dependencies would be my guess.

Upgrade. It's the single best thing you can do. You're also unlikely  
to find significant resources for 1.x support here any more. I don't  
believe there are many left that used it, let alone remember it's  
specific idiosyncrasies.

Some of the structures used in nagios-1.x  were not optimized for  
large installations such as ours. nagios-2 included object lookup  
enhancing changes that would help with the status.cgi times (search  
for 'nagios chained hash patch'). That patch was originally written  
for 1.2 so you could probably apply it to 1.4 if you can find it and  
you can't upgrade. I saw significant improvements with the patch and  
again by moving to nagios-2. I may have still have the patch but I  
can't say for certain if I modified it from it's original form (it's  
dated 2003 ;) ). If you can't find it I can send it to you,  
unsupported and YMMV.

nagios-3 offers further improvements for large installations. I can't  
vouch for it as I haven't moved to it yet but the enhancements look  
very positive.

I know. I'm testing nagios3 and I think it's good, but I have done many 
change to original source and I need these in the new version, so it takes a 
lot.

Hi All,

I've been trying to find out if there is a 64-bit version of Nagios for Windows 64.  I've been looking at the internet and there isn't a lot of info about it.  I'm asking because our local Windows admins say it won't run on the Windows 64-bit, running on AMD (HP if that matters).  Any and all info is appreciated.

You can always try NC_Net.
IT offers remote configuration via Check_nc_net (compatible replacement for
check_nt)
it also offers NSCA.

However if you do not need Passive checks,
Check_nt should be able to test services
for the major Windows plugins. (NC_net, NSClient++,pNSClient, Opsys??)

The Nagios v3 manual lays out the basics on configuring Nagios for use with
check_nt.
IF using Passive checks typically all involved Hosts need to be configured
as well as the Nagios Server.
When using check_nt you have access to several things without any aditional
configuraiton on the Windows Host.
NC_Net offers several more commands through check_nc_Net without any
aditional configuration of the Windows Host.

I'm assuming you really mean something like nsclient++ to run on
windows, and not nagios itself, which won't run on windows (unless you
fancy running inside cygwin, and all that fun stuff).  At least last
time I checked anyway, I'm more than happy to be wrong.

http://nsclient.org/nscp/ has a 64bit versions for monitoring your
windows hosts.

Sounds like you need to monitor the clustered IP instead of the
individual IP addresses, and check for various services and their
states there.  The server will react, and respond accordingly because
the cluster services will handle the requests.  That being said, you'd
probably still want something to monitor the cluster services
themselves to see if there was a failure.

Check cluster will take the results of several hosts/services and
respond based on the thresholds defined.  For example, if you have
several web servers that form a web farm, each server is checked
independantly.   The check_cluster plugin takes the output of the
service checks, and gives you back an OK, WARNING, CRITICAL based on
your threshold.  See:

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

A similar example is provided there.

I've occasionally seen notifications for hosts in scheduled downtime,
but only in the few seconds after restarting the Nagios daemon.  I
don't think it's expected behaviour, no.

I've not bothered to find a fix for it, as it happens only rarely and
so long as I don't restart the daemon at three in the morning, it
won't bother anyone.

I would have the laptops send passive checks back to Nagios.  You can
use nsca if you have your own plugins or use NSClient++ which is also
capable of sending results to Nagios via nsca.

There is no way nagios can accept a range of ip-addresses for a host,
since it wouldn't know which of the presumably multiple hosts in the
range is responding to what.

Since you don't have control over the DHCP server, following Jim Avery's
advice and letting the laptops send passive check-results to your nagios
server is definitely the best solution.

Nagios itself doesn't run on Windows at all. For an agent that runs
just fine on 64-bit Windows, try downloading the NSClient++ installer
from http://www.op5.com/support/downloads/agents/op5-nsclientpp

Hi again...

Sorry to bother all but surely someone has wanted to get the tactical display 
to only show hard status' and not soft errors.

Has anyone managed to get this to work?

Thanks very much

i had been waiting for people to share their experience monitoring mission
critical systems but it seems there are not many people who do that.

thank you marc for sharing the information.

p.s. now i am counting on nagios developers to expand on this topic possibly
by giving some real life examples.

thanks

Does your network use dynamic DNS by any chance? If you do, you could 
use the laptop's DNS name rather than its IP address.

You may also be able to use a script that enumerates all the machines in 
the network. On Windows, look into the commands "net view /Domain:xxxx" 
and nbtstat -c as some starting points (Samba also has similar commands)

example, swap data, is exactly the same for each host. I have included a

Hello all,
What is the difference between checking a host is alive with a check in 
the host template (check_command check-host-alive), witch I have defined 
as a PING.
And creating a ping service applied to the host ? I did a test with both 
configurations, and didn't see a different behavior.
The only big advantage I have with the Ping is the graphics witch I 
really need, so I am wondering if I could disable host-alive check, and 
make it depend on the ping service check? BTW I use centreon.

cheers,

Yes indeed!

I haven't.  Although the Nagios Checker plugin for Firefox can do
this.  http://code.google.com/p/nagioschecker/

Hello Everybody

 

I have setup nagios for the Datacentre. Now I need to setup NDO for database
logging. Setup everything according to the DOC.

I got an error when I tried to start the daemon using ?
/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db-3x -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg.

 

?Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported, or
was not found on your system.?

 

What went wrong ? I have followed the official NDO documentation.

Thanks in advance

Host checks (especially for routers, switches, and other network
nodes) are important in determining reachability.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/networkreachability.html

If you have no other active checks for that node, then I would
normally recommend configuring ping as both host and service check, as
it just makes it easier to see what's going on in the Nagios cgis.  If
you are already actively monitoring other services (for example FTP)
on the host, then personally I wouldn't bother having ping as a
service check too (I'd just use ping for the host check).

You might want to use different parameters for the host check ping,
for example if you want the host check to send more pings with a
longer timeout than the service checks to make absolutely sure the
host is really 'down'.  On the other hand, you might want to make your
host checks really simple and quick so that Nagios doesn't get bogged
down doing host checks if you have a major network outage affecting a
lot of hosts.

hth,

Jim

Subject: escaping arguments - check_snmp_int.pl
Message-ID: <OF2D845BD4.0DABA12C-ONC12575AE.0041B348-C12575AE.00433210@caz.be>

Hi everyone,

I've hit a bit of a snag while trying to monitor the status of some switch 
ports.
I'm using the check_snmp_int script from Patrick Proy,
when i run /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_int.pl -H 10.2.0.111 -C 
public -n "5.(?:6|7)" -2 -k -M -w500,500 -c700,700 -B 
from the commandline (non-root user) it returns an OK status.

yet when i configure the command, and pass the regexp as an argument it 
says it can't find the interface:
 
Status Information:ERROR : Unknown interface 5.(?:6 
Performance Data:7) 

Do i need to escape certain chars in the regexp, or does nagios run the 
command differently?


some more info:
command definition:   check_snmp_int_v2 : $USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG3$ -2 -n $ARG1$ -B$ARG4$ $ARG2$ 
service definition:   check_snmp_int_v2!"5.(?:6|7)"!-k -M -w500,500 
-c700,700!public!

the only difference i see is just the order in which the parameters are 
passed.

Thanks,

Tom

Host checks are necessary for determining status and reachability of  
network hosts (through parenting) as well as suppression of all  
SERVICE notifications on hosts that are down; a single HOST  
notification would go out instead.

Do you mean the tests that aren't using NRPE like check_local_swap,  
check_local_load, check_local_procs and the like? Those aren't network  
aware tests. You need to copy them the remote machine and use NRPE to  
run them.

Why don't you use check_tcp on tcp port for network service offered by

yes , i am using this right now. Currently the below service check is done

My question is , is it possible to put it on the  clustered environment
instead of individually  ??

2)  Some cgi files doesn't exist under /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ like:

3)  I want to have some graphs for by example the <availability>! Has

Hi Jerome

Concerning your check_host, this can be anything you want. check_ping is generally used but for some hosts which run only apache server I'm using check_http. Linking check_icmp to check_host should be fine (I assume).

If statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and histogram.cgi don't exist, that means part of your installation failed. Try to compile again and make install and look for some error messages. if this doesn't change anything, try make install-cgis but this means you have an error somewhere during your configuration and/or compilation...

You'll have a link to an availability  graph for each service or host you will be supervising through the extended information page. Clic on the name of a service or host and then clic on the "availability report" link.

I sure am, and I'd be willing to bet that a lot of people here are. 
You've got everything "right" in your configs.  You likely missed alerts 
because of a queue backup, which is usually caused by trying to run too 
many checks.

Every time a service check times out, the host is immediately checked. 
With a default value of 20 for max_concurrent_checks and typical timeout 
of 10 seconds for plugins, it could take 20 seconds for the first non-OK 
state during a server reboot.  If there are multiple servers being 
rebooted, Nagios may never run enough checks while the servers are down.

See 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html#problem_scheduling
for more info.

> possibly by giving some real life examples.

What do you mean by real-life examples?

Generically, here's what I've done to make sure I'm promptly alerted 
when things go wrong:
- three facilities with a custom master + slave setup that has each 
slave checking their own facility's private LAN as well as all 
publically accessible corporate resources (public SMTP, DNS, etc...)
- customized self-promotion/self-demotion for the slaves if they lose 
contact with the master
- direct SMS and fallback email-to-SMS and email-to-email alerting for 
critical hosts and services
- sane configuration settings

The last one makes the most difference.  Because of the possibility for 
queue delays, you can't check everything all of the time.  Individual 
services are what's critical, not the hosts or everything they run.  If 
you have a "critical" machine that serves up a webapp, run check_http 
every minute, but there's no need to do the same check_ssh or check_ntp.

You don't need a special plugin. Anything that will return a non-OK  
state when the host is down is fine. A ping/icmp check is most common  
for this purpose and check_icmp will work fine.

This is in the FAQ. The GD libs are not installed or were not found at  
compile time. The output of ./configure will likely contain references  
to this as well.

Nagios has integrated availability reporting via the Availability menu  
option(s) though I wouldn't necessarily call it a graph. I think what  
you're looking for is the histogram mentioned above...

Sorry, just realizing.... The reason you don't have statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and histogram.cgi is may be becaus you don't have one of the graphic library installed on your server. Check if you have libjpeg-devel, libgd-devel and libpng-devel installed on your server (if your running under Debian, it should be libjpeg62-dev, libpng12-dev and libgd2-xpm-dev or libgd2-noxpm-dev).

Hi Marc-Andr?

Thanks for your answers!
Here are the installed librairies on my RedHat Server :

# rpm -qa|grep libjpeg
libjpeg-6b-37
libjpeg-6b-37
# rpm -qa|grep libpng
libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_3.2
libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_3.2
# rpm -qa|grep gd
gd-2.0.33-9.4.el5_1.1

Is Ok??
And here're the procedure :
====================================================
./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=/nagios --with-command-group=/nagcmd
make install-init
make install-commandmode
make install-config
====================================================

Ok, On the left side, there is a column with reporting and availability. Then I must to selected Hosts,services, etc... then "create availability report" the results appears in a table with all the value in % but without graphs????

Linking check_icmp to check_host is, generally, a Good Thing(tm). I
assume we're talking filesystem links here btw. This is so because
check_icmp does some special magic if it's called by the name
check_host which can tremendously speed things up when services go
haywire but the host is still up and running just fine.

It's far from easy to implement, and especially so if you want to get
all the corner-cases right. Fortunately though, there are solutions
ready-made for this, although I don't know how most of them work.

There's one at http://www.op5.org (check under code library, I think)
that's a bit of a challenge to set up unless you're using RPM-based
system, but it's just pure awesome when it's actually up and running.

As per Marc, you need the 'devel' packages installed as well.  Did you
install Nagios via RPM or compile from source?  If the latter, I would
suggest you install Nagios from RH's yum repository, thay way, all the
library dependencies will be installed as well.

So, that's was my way :
./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include
--enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --prefix=/usr/local/nagios
--sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios
--with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=/nagios
--with-command-group=/nagcmd 
make install-init 
make install-commandmode 
make install-config

Could I just make install-cgi now, it's not to late????

Hi All,
By default I have nothing in the templates directory of my PNP
installation so all my graphs use the "Default Template."
I noticed that this inverts the SWAP utilization graph i.e., the red and
yellow lines (warning/critical) are very close to the bottom of the
graph while the utilization shows as almost 100% (close to the top)
instead of very low is it actually is.
I have copied the check_swap.php from the templates.dist directory into
the templates directory, deleted all the existing swap.xml and swap.rrd
files, and restarted the npcd daemon.
I have also tried renaming check_swap.php to swap.php.
I noticed also that all my graphs use the Default Template and the XML
files for all of them have <TEMPLATE>check_nrpe</TEMPLATE>. As these
files are generated automatically, how do I get the SWAP graph to use
the SWAP template?
What else do I need to do?
I am using PNP version 0.4.13
Thanks.

Is it possible to trigger an alert by sending an email to nagios

I'm guessing it isn't a straight forward as that, just wonder if it is
doable,
and any links to examples would be cool too.

Thanks in advance

Since this is the first time you've installed Nagios (I assume) and you
probably haven't used it much, I wouldn't expect there is too much benefit
for you by installing Nagios from source.

I would suggest that you take advantage of RH's rpm management and install
Nagios from rpm.  Doing that will automatically satisfy all your
dependencies, install everything, and generate an Apache config and startup
script.  Plus, upgrades will be much simpler.  Plugins will also be a
breeze:

yum install nagios-plugins

Config files are stored in: /etc/nagios
Plugins: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
CGI: /usr/lib/nagios/cgi
html: /usr/share/nagios

Message-ID: <996B98AD51EF4ED8975C5F5923498A13@giorno.valastro>

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK ? 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w

Depends on what you're checking...

Assuming the numbers above are related to this service --

 From the RFC1213-MIB --

ifInErrors OBJECT-TYPE
     SYNTAX  Counter
     ACCESS  read-only
     STATUS  mandatory
     DESCRIPTION
             "The number of inbound packets that contained
             errors preventing them from being deliverable to a
             higher-layer protocol."
     ::= { ifEntry 14 }

For this example service, the number being returned is the number of  
input errors since last counter reset, roll or device restart for the  
interface with SNMP index 3. Note that this does not necessarily  
correspond to Port 3 thanks to the joys of various SNMP  
implementations and device types. You can identify the specific  
interface that currently has an index of 3 using 'snmpwalk -C public - 
v1 <ip of device> ifDescr'. You may need to substitute '-v2c' for '- 
v1' if you're using SNMP version 2.

Yes, absolutely, even on Redhat/clone systems. I happen to believe  
it's the best way to learn it and things are put in the 'right' places  
as far as the documentation, addons and our general expectations...  
Using packages created and modified by someone else else can lead to  
confusion and other issues.

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View: Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown, and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

         Alejandro

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:

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

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P

	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w

You could use a template I developped some weeks ago. It works pretty well. 
Just copy it into the "templates" directory

I installed from scratch. That's why I told you to install the "devel" 
package (with 'yum install libjpeg-devel' for example). Once you will have 
installed every devel package I told you to, just compile again Nagios and 
install with 'make all && make install' and every thing should be working 
fine.

 Concerning the availability graph, this was the correct link but since you 
had'nt install libpng-devel nor libgd-devel, this couldn't work.

Interesting thread on Centreon. I evaluated it when it was Oreon 4 years ago
and it was horrid then, difficult to install, unpredictable and had very
little English information available. Looks like it has come a long way. Is
the English conversant community as large as the French now?

Has anyone compared Centreon to Groundwork Open Source? We are currently
using the Groundwork community edition and have considered going to the
Professional edition to gain log processing based alerts and dashboards. I
know Centreon has a dashboard, but I don't know if it's static or
customizable and I don't see any indication Centreon has the ability to
monitor and process log information. Groundwork is quite pricey for what
they offer, has its share of bugs, and frankly doesn't present information
as well as Centreon from what I can see in its screenshots. The Groundwork
status/action screens are NOT an improvement over base Nagios.

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con
nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la
PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you
monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and
blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working
properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
0 -m RFC1213-MIB
	notifications_enabled	0
	}



THANKS...
Mat?as Blanco.

You'll notice that the graph produced by the default template tells
you what check command is being run (in the bottom right hand corner
of the graphic).  This is the name you need to use for your template,
so in your case you will need to name your new template file
"check_nrpe.php".

It's not quite as simple as that though, because if you set up a
check_nrpe.php template which makes your swap graphs look lovely, it
might make all the other checks you run using check_nrpe look awful!
You might need to consider setting up a separate command definition in
Nagios just for your swap checks.  Make it the same as check_nrpe but
call it something a little different, for example "check_nrpe-swap".
Of course you'll need also to change your swap service definition to
use this command.  You can then rename your check_nrpe.pnp template to
check_nrpe-swap.pnp and it won't mess up all your other nrpe checks.

It's not necessary to remove .rrd or .xml files when you tinker with
the templates - just hit refresh in your browser when viewing the
graphs in PNP to see if the template is working.

hth,

Jim

Subject: service escalations on hostgroup/servicegroup combos
Message-ID: <4A01CA3E.2030000@createspace.com>

I am attempting to create service escalations that act upon a 
hostgroup/servicegroup combination.  I'd like to see escalations on 
services on certain hosts that are part of a particular servicegroup.  
I'm having trouble doing this.  I've tried a number of different ways to 
do this. 

I have tried using "hostgroup_name" in a service escalation, but left 
"servicegroup_name" and "service_description" undefined.  Doing this 
results in _no_ service escalations being created by nagios (generating 
no error messages or warnings, which is annoying in it's own right).

I have tried using "hostgroup_name" in combination with 
"servicegroup_name," which creates service escalations for every service 
in "servicegroup_name" with hostgroup_name having no noticeable effect 
upon anything.

I have tried using "hostgroup_name" (and "host_name") in combination 
with "service_description" wild-cards.  This results in an error from 
nagios.  Based on the "Object tricks" page, I _should_ be able to 
declare the following in a service definition   
   
    host_name  simpson

   service_description	*


When I do this,  I get an error about not being able to expand services 
on simpson, even though that host is currently being monitored in nagios 
with several services on it.

Has anyone configured their nagios in such a way (hostgroup/servicegroup 
overlap escalations), or knows of some way I might be able to achieve 
this setup?

Subject: NSclient++ Performance Counters Help ??
Message-ID: <CF757435B64CD64798912313712C7B3259141308E5@van-mail01.vand1.oppy.com>

Hello,

I am trying to use NSClient++ to monitor performance counters; previously I only used it to check disk space etc, but I am trying to make sure of the "-v COUNTER -l" switch more now as it is very powerful.

In my config I have:

define command{
command_name check_nt_exchange_messages_delivered_per_min
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120
}

However, when I try to test this from my box with:

./check_nt -H van-mail01 -s xr1p71c -p 12779 -v COUNTER -l  "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120

I get:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Also, on Nagios it reports as "null"; which I would assume is because of the above syntax issue.

How can I fix this?

The source I got my counter from is:
http://www.hackmyidea.com/wordpress/2007/11/14/misc-windows-checks-for-nagios/

Also, I noticed in my NSClient++ installation in the windows box (Exchange 2005/Win2003) there is a counters.defs file, should I be making use of that and entering the counters in there as opposed to calling them from commands.cfg ? If so, how could I use the ./check_nt to call a performance counter defined in counters.defs ? (assuming this is what its for?).

Thanks.

After some more trial and error, I got the command check fixed but there is still an issue.

The command I am sending is:

root at van-nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nt -H van-mail01 -s xr1p71c -p 12779 -v COUNTER -l  "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120

The output is: 0

When I check nsclient.log; here is what I have:

Subject: check_disk and CD/DVD in Solaris
Message-ID: <4A01D2BD.8090507@gmail.com>

I have check_disk setup to do monitor all local disks so that I don't 
have to make edits everytime I add a new filesystem or mount point. 
Unfortunately, on Solaris, mounted CD's and DVD's show as local volumes 
and as 100% full. Unfortunately, check_disk (the stock one) is not a 
simple shell script that I can edit to throw in a "grep -v cdrom" line. 
I'm curious how you guys are handling this? Do you define all your 
filesystems manually for Solaris hosts? Are you using an alternate test? 
Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Hi All/Jim/Marc-Andre,
Thanks for the response. I was actually able to figure it out while waiting - I didn't RTFM - not all at first :-)

Here is what I did in case someone else finds it useful (and if possible correct me if I am wrong):

# cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/check_commands
# cp -a check_nwstat.cfg-sample check_nrpe.cfg
# grep CUSTOM_TEMPLATE check_nrpe.cfg
CUSTOM_TEMPLATE = 0,1

# cd /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp
# cp -a templates.dist/check_swap.php templates/check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php
# /etc/init.d/npcd restart


Jim: The SWAP graph looks OK and I haven't noticed any changes in the other graphs (CPU, RAM, filesystems, PING, etc) - possibly because the check_nrpe defaults are the same as in the nwstat.cfg-sample file I created the check_nrpe.cfg from, and the check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php is only used for the SWAP graph while the default check_nrpe settings continues to be used for the other graphs?

Marc-Andre: I assume apart from just placing your SWAP template in the templates directory, I still need to create the check_nrpe.cfg and check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php files as I did above? Will try your template in a minute ...

Ach! I lost all my SWAP history by deleting the RRDs!

Thanks again.
Regards.

You could use a template I developped some weeks ago. It works pretty well. 
Just copy it into the "templates" directory

I think for some reason you think you have an ordinary double-quote
there but it's been replaced with some strange character which looks
like one but isn't.  I'd delete that section in you configuration file
and re-type it, maybe using a different editor.  If you're using a
word-processor of some sort to edit your config files, it might be
trying to insert left and right double-quotes rather than the
bog-standard ordinary straight-up ones.

Other than that, I can't see a problem with what you've put there
(although you might need another "\" or two to escape the backslash -
I don't have my Nagios system to hand so can't check for sure.

Jim

I use check_snmp_storage.pl from http://nagios.manubulon.com/ to
monitor Solaris (and various other) filesystems.  I usually monitor
each filesystem individually but sometimes use the regular expression
matching to bundle similar filesystems together.

I would love to be able automatically to pick up new filesystems as
you say (and it's possible using this plugin), but firstly it would
break the pnp4nagios graphing and secondly our Unix admins frequently
mount filesystems for test restores and suchlike and I really don't
want to be bothered with those.

That's my 2p worth.  There are lots of ways to skin this metaphorical cat.

Cheers,

Jim

I believe so.  Yes.

Subject: service escalation problems
Message-ID: <4A01D519.5090706@physics.ucsd.edu>

Hello,
I'm not new to nagios, however his is the first nagios installation i 
have done with nagios 3.x.  I've set up several service escalations in 
my services.cfg, they are being recognized and registered with nagios, 
however they are not actually doing anything.  Despite the escalations 
being there, i see each of my services spamming notifications every 30 
minutes.  Is there any additional options i need to enable in Nagios 
3.0.4 to get make the escalations effective.  Or is there any reason 
that when i run "nagios -v nagios.cfg" and i get this as output:

Nagios 3.0.4

So nagios clearly can see the 973 service escalations, they just don't 
seem to be working.  So it would seem my syntax is correct, so an 
example of one of my service escalations (they're all more or less 
identical for different services):

define serviceescalation{
    host_name        *,!Rambo, !localhost, !nagios, !t2gw04, !uaf-3
    service_description    condor_master_alive
    first_notification    1
    last_notification    2
    notification_interval    180
    contact_groups        admins
    }


define serviceescalation{
    host_name        *,!Rambo, !localhost, !nagios, !t2gw04, !uaf-3
    service_description    condor_master_alive
    first_notification    3
    last_notification    4
    notification_interval    1440
    contact_groups        admins
    }


define serviceescalation{
    host_name        *,!Rambo, !localhost, !nagios, !t2gw04, !uaf-3
    service_description    condor_master_alive
    first_notification    5
    last_notification    6
    notification_interval    0
    contact_groups        admins
    }


Any help/input/ridicule would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I did something else: I patched PNP so that it removes the
check_nrpe! prefix if it's there, then does processing as usual.
I've sent this (trival, four-line) patch to the PNP maintainer
but never got an answer :/

Where would you stop though?  Would you also remove check_nt and
check_snmp prefixes?  I appreciate you may find the patch useful and
forgive me if I've misunderstood, but I'm not convinced it's
necessary.

Jim

Hmmm.  I don't know if it's the cause of your problem, and I could be
completely wrong (sorry can't test because I'm at home) but the
purpose of an escalation is surely to notify an alternative recipient
if the first (ordinary) notification fails?  I would think if this
were so then having first_notification = 1 wouldn't make sense.  I'd
configure the service itself to send the first notification and only
use escalations for the 2nd or subsequent notifications.

Other than that I can't see any particular problem with your syntax.
I would however try setting the escalation_options directive
explicitly "just in case".

I don't know if, in the absence of an escalation_option directive the
notification options would be inherited from the service definition.
A common problem with those is accidentally to include the "n" option
which means send no notifications.

hth,

Jim

It is most useful to me, no doubt. Still I would have expected
that the original author noticed this issue. I suspect 90% of
Nagios users have *way* more usefully graphable NRPE/NSCP/SNMP
checks than "plain" ones.

Tobias

No I did not find any English documentation, further to that one of the
links in the instructions no longer works.
http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola.html

Does anybody else have any suggestions on how I can achieve Voice
notification.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the idea, i gave it a shot and it does not seem to be of any 
help.  I was under the impresion that service escalations were for 
taking the nag out of nagios by curbing its tendency to spam admins with 
notifications for large networks, or for specific services.  More 
specifically, if say i don't address a critical state because it's not 
important to me, i don't want to get hourly notifications.  I want a 
reminder after say three hours, maybe another after another three hours, 
and then i want all subsequent reminders to take longer and longer.  Now 
i set this up last time with nagios 2, and had zero issues.  I'm 
wondering if something has changed in nagios 3, or if there is some 
essential step i'm forgetting/missing.  If this continues not working, 
i'll just have to try host escalations, and see if i can do anything 
with those. 
Thanks,
Bruce

Basic question guys: 

Which file do you normally place your service dependencies in? 

It stated here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html
to place in objects cfg file which I thought placing it in my nagios.cfg????

But when I did, it complained about this error after running -v:
Error in configuration file 'nagios.cfg' - Line 2859 (NULL value)


Here's a sample of my definition:
define servicedependency{
       host_name                       ciscoasa-router
       service_description             PING
       dependent_host_name             ciscosw-router
       dependent_service_description   PING
       execution_failure_criteria      o
       notification_failure_criteria   w,u
       }

Please advise. 

Thank you!

Hi Chris,

First does the file /etc/centreon/conf.pm exist ?
It should have the database hostname, dbname, dbuser and dbpassword in it.

Who owns the /var/lib/centreon directory structure ?
The apache user that centreon runs as needs full rights to this directory and the directories below it.

These dirs should have been created by the centreon install, what version on centreon did you install and did the install run smoothly ?

Thanks,
Simon

I would put service dependencies in a file called something like
'servicedependencies.cfg'.

in nagios.cfg, you need a pointer to this new file, for example:

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

The nagios.cfg file should only contain the main configuration file
options which you'll find documented in
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html

But ... I'm not convinced you should need service dependencies for
'ping' from one host to another.  Nagios handles this sort of thing
automatically if you configure the host parent relationships.  See:

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

hth,

Jim

Hi, 

 

Anyone know what these messages mean? I've begun to add additional hosts

there's only 3 hosts...When I view host or service detail the number of
objects changes, and when viewing the individual hosts/services I get
the errors below, but if I hit refresh again the service/host
information is display....

 

Host Status Information Not Found!

 

Please help me on this.

Hi!
Please check if there is only 1 intance of nagios running. I had the
same behaviour when accidentially starting at least 2 instances of
Nagios. This screws things up..

Hi Ayotunde,

You need to create template file with name of  "<service command name>".php
(i.e. check_mem.php whatever command name you use) ,
 if this file doesn't exist in template dir, PNP will use default template.

default template for check_swap (in template.dist) shows swap free rather
than swap utilized, you need to modify template to show swap utilization.

Hi All,
By default I have nothing in the templates directory of my PNP
installation so all my graphs use the "Default Template."
I noticed that this inverts the SWAP utilization graph i.e., the red and
yellow lines (warning/critical) are very close to the bottom of the
graph while the utilization shows as almost 100% (close to the top)
instead of very low is it actually is.
I have copied the check_swap.php from the templates.dist directory into
the templates directory, deleted all the existing swap.xml and swap.rrd
files, and restarted the npcd daemon.
I have also tried renaming check_swap.php to swap.php.
I noticed also that all my graphs use the Default Template and the XML
files for all of them have <TEMPLATE>check_nrpe</TEMPLATE>. As these
files are generated automatically, how do I get the SWAP graph to use
the SWAP template?
What else do I need to do?
I am using PNP version 0.4.13
Thanks.

Subject: [Nagios-users] [nagios] Trigger alert via email

Is it possible to trigger an alert by sending an email to nagios
(passive check)?
I'm guessing it isn't a straight forward as that, just wonder if it is
doable,
and any links to examples would be cool too.

Thanks in advance
Ed

Hola de nuevo...

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand and participate in this subject.

I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference.

My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: 

iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7

(maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7)

defined as: "a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy".

The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work properly.

The command I defined for this was like this: 

define command {
	command_name check_port
	command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries
}

For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Hasta la proxima, 

      Alejandro

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

Cristian




************************************

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View:
Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown, and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

         Alejandro

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
0 -m RFC1213-MIB
	notifications_enabled	0
	}



THANKS...
Mat?as Blanco.

Hi Jim,

As per your suggestion i tried to configure it using DRRAW, but I am not 
able to implement it. So could you please send me some document or 
relevant URL so that I can implement the same.

You can do that sort of thing using DRRAW (
http://web.taranis.org/drraw/ ) to make graphs from your existing PNP
.rrd databases.

When you acknowledge a problem, there is a checkbox to send
notification.
Uncheck that box and it won't send an ack alert.

I'm sure this will benefit the others who thought of building this config in their Nagios, especially for a newbie like I... :-) 

Cheers, 
DB

I would put service dependencies in a file called something like
'servicedependencies.cfg'.

in nagios.cfg, you need a pointer to this new file, for example:

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

The nagios.cfg file should only contain the main configuration file
options which you'll find documented in
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html

But ... I'm not convinced you should need service dependencies for
'ping' from one host to another.  Nagios handles this sort of thing
automatically if you configure the host parent relationships.  See:

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

hth,

Jim

In this case the daemon had been running for 3 days.

This was on a host that had just been retired, I turned it back on to get a file off of it and that's when the alert was sent, it had been offline for a while.  The interesting thing was that Nagios only sent a UP alert when I shut it down again (a few minutes later) the alerts for down were not sent (as would be expected).  It does not appear to be a major problem (no one else responded), I'm not going to worry about it too much.  Thanks for your feedback.

Subject: Escalations Info
Message-ID: <be136cd0e56046bb885674d0aa27a7ee.craig@hooters-uk.com>

Hi all, I'm trying to understand the escalation process in Nagios but think I'm missing a trick 
somewhere, this is what I want to do.

If I have a service that is down I would like 3 email sent out and then after the 3 mails I would 
like this to escalate this to send out SMS sent and then stop.

So in my escalations I have the following but unsure if it?s the correct format.

First escalation: 3 because as I understand it this will occur after 3 mails have been sent.
Last Escalation: 3 because I want 3 SMS sent after my 3 mails.

Is this the way to do it or have I not got the correct understanding of it

Thanks all

Craig

I don't use escalations but my understanding is the numbering is  
sequential --

Notification number 1 - email
					2 - email
					3 - email
					4 - First Escalation - sms
					5 - sms
					6 - Last Escalation - sms

Asunto: RE: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hola de nuevo...

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand
and participate in this subject.

I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you
should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk
on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help
of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference.

My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port
in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I
positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was
significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: 

iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7

(maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7)

defined as: "a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt
on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy".

The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value
for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work
properly.

The command I defined for this was like this: 

define command {
	command_name check_port
	command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O
iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries
}

For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a
more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Hasta la proxima, 

      Alejandro

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con
nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la
PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

Cristian




************************************

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check
with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search
for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View:
Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown,
and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you
monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and
blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working
properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

         Alejandro

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
0 -m RFC1213-MIB
	notifications_enabled	0
	}



THANKS...

You should subscribe to nagios-devel. There's some discussions going 
there. :)

Subject: Ndoutils bad performance
Message-ID: <aa429f2a0905072027i403d5ec4g4b484cdbaa051919@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone.

I am using  Nagios 3.0.6 with ndoutils 1.4b7 and MySQL 5.0 on a Linux
machine CentOS 5.2 (2.6.18) with 2GB ram and x64 Intel Xeon 2.50GHz
processor in the laboratory environment.

I chose to use the ndoutils to maintain historical information aboutchecks
on the database (tables nagios_servicechecks and nagios_hostcheks) and
Nagvis to use the graphical representation of my network.

The functional tests were good, but the project got to the point where I had
to do a benchmark with a number of 7,000 services, simulating my production
environment.

Loading broker ndomod but without running the ndo2db daemon I have a good
performance of service checks with almost 95% of services being out in the
window of 5 min and a check with low latency. Important emphasize that all
services are active (not passive) with check_interval of 5 minutes.

When I run the ndo2db daemon, where it initialize a unix socket and starts
operations in the database, I get a considerable loss of check performance
of the service with only 9% of services being handled in window of 5 min,
high latency of checks and CPU iowait counter between 90% and 100%. Services
to be processed by the Nagios daemon in 5 min are processed with delay of up
to 1 hour.

How MySQL is on the same machine, it did the tuning (buffer, threads, etc.)
and applied additionals table indexes.
As test I changed the nagios database schema for the "blackhole". Thus the
bank accepts connections and operations (select, insert, delete, ...) but
not recording the data on disk. The iowait continued high with bad
performance. I do not suspect most of the database.

I noticed that the daemon ndo2db uses only 1 connection to the database to
various operations per second, each operation is awaiting the end of the
previous run. What I find particularly bad.

Question: someone uses the facilities of ndoutils with the database in large
nagios installations (> 1500 hosts> 7000 services) without performance
problems to give me help ?

Nagios settings are below.

I followed some recommendations for the tuning of the document nagios

Subject: Multiple alerts from one script (Windows Eventlog
	monitoring)
Message-ID: <83EAEFA90AFC46168F94E14E01C18464@privead6996662>

Hello everyone. Started testing Nagios since last February, and am very much
please with the functionality. 

I currently have a pilot Nagios implementation, monitoring about 100 Windows
2003 servers. I have one WinXP client, installed with a NSClient++ agent.
All checks are executed remotely from the WinXP workstation, which acts as a
proxy. My servers are agentless. 

Now I have created a vbs script to collect entries from the Windows
eventlog, alerting on filtered errors, warning, eventsource, eventide, etc.
For each defined filter I create one Service in Nagios (eg. I have one
service checking for Antivirus events, another service checking for
Printserver events, one service checking for DNS events, etc.)

Each run of the script could report on multiple events. At the moment the
script creates one single alert, showing multiple events. 

However, I would like to 

A.	have one alert generated for each unique event (in order to use the
notification mechanism). If possible I would like to implement an
event-database, where I would be able to handle each unique alert. Something
similar to MOM, where a count of each unique event is displayed, and as long
as the event is not yet closed no new notifications are being sent out. 
B.	In the end, I would like to implement some module, that will create
a ticket in our Ultimo helpdesk system, for each new alert generated. 

Is this feasible with a combination of NSCA and Nagios Eventdb  ? I have not
yet been able to get the Eventdb running properly yet, so at the moment I am
unable to assess the value of this tool. Also with NSCA I have just started
playing. However, after some time I started getting NTVDM errors, which
would only resolve with a reboot from my proxy.Th built-in NSCA
functionality in the NSClient++ will only allow me (or so it seems) to run
one instance of every defined script at a regular interval.

Has anyone implemented something similar yet, and how did you get everything
up and running ? 

 

Thanks in advance for feedback,

Mike

Dear all,

I have a remote server monitored using NRPE. Recently what I found was when my LDAP server went off, I was given a "CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout
after 10 seconds." . This could have been the cause had nsswitch.conf in the box with NRPE installed has hosts queried via LDAP as well. But
that isn't the case. Can there be any other reason? Any one ever came across this situation.

Dear Chethan,

You actually don't need a particular document for the migration. Just a few steps to be followed.

~ Keep intact the /usr/local/nagios/share , /usr/local/nagios/etc/  and /usr/local/nagios/var folders. They all need to be the same.
~ Check with all the plugins that you have installed in the older nagios server.
~ Some plugins that are installed in the older server might not be installed in the newer one, because of some version differences and
dependencies. Search options for those.
~ Check if the version difference and the features implemented/deprecated in nagios effects your setup.
~ Install the nagios in the newer server and replace the above listed folders and plugins. You are good to go.

Hi All, 

I have started windows resource monitoring using Windows NRPE, I don't 
want to use snmp and NSclients also. 
I want to check swap utilization rather than swap free, however I have got 
everywhere check_swap.exe which gives free swap.

I have got one exe which gives memory utilization/Virtual memory/page 
memory utilization, but not sure what should be consider as swap 
utilization ? I have downloaded this from below URL:

http://www.stic-online.de/stic/download/18/check_hugemem.zip

please refer above exe syntax 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>check_hugemem.exe -h

        check_hugemem -t=virtual -warn=80 -crit=90
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you please let me know which should consider ( -t=virtual, -t=page) as 
swap utilization in above exe.

Hi all !

 

I am looking for a method to control many internal server entities like:

-          Temperature

-          Disks (how can we check them when are configured in Raid 1 or
Raid 5 ??? )

-          Fan

-          Power supply

-          Etc.

 

I am performing some test with IPMI (on dell servers) and related
applications like ipmitool and ipmiutil (very similar), but I am not able to
check everything I'd like (for example.disk health)

 

Do you use these tools/features ?

 

How do you control disk health?

 

Regards

Marco

Andy,

I am unable to telnet to the port from the Nagios server.

I checked netstat -an and the connection is established. I am able to
telnet from windows server to the Linux server.

What connection, exactly, do you show as "established" with netstat -an? 
It can't really be the one you are talking about, because that never 
connected.

In any case, you would want to look for LISTENING rather than 
ESTABLISHED in the output for netstat -an. The local address on the left 
should say something like 0.0.0.0:xxxx (where xxxx is the port number). 
If it says 127.0.0.1 then NSClient++ is not listening on the Ethernet port.

If you don't see an entry that listens on the correct port, then 
double-check that NSClient++ is running.

If you do see an entry to listen on the correct port, try running nestat 
-anb . This will tell you which program is actually doing the listening. 
If it isn't NSClient++, you found your culprit. That's not likely, though.

If netstat -anb shows NSClient++ as listening correctly, you almost 
certainly have a firewall issue.

This means exactly what the error message says: that there is already 
another program using port 5667. Odds are that nsca is already running 
on your computer; maybe it got started as a daemon on system startup.

Hi Kevin,

The output netstat -anb looks like this.

TCP    0.0.0.0:****   0.0.0.0:**      ESTABLISHED     ****
 [putty.exe]


Where in left 0.0.0.0:**** is my windows server along with port and the
right is the Linux server along with port. Is it not correct?

It may well be correct, but is a completely different setup! You have an 
SSH tunnel; that's a rather critical piece of information. You have an 
SSH tunnel from the Windows machine to somewhere else, instead of having 
an NSClient++.

Maybe you meant to do a remote port forwarding and instead set up local 
port forwarding.

Subject: Nagios Monitor Server, and NRPE clients,
	giving funny results
Message-ID: <C41B5F52D530C94ABC153C9250AB8086C84A12@ra.impactteachers.local>

Dear All,

I'm trying to get my Nagios instance to behave properly! It seems to be
monitoring my servers just fine, but for some reason, all my servers,
which are different from each other show the same swap space, and the
same free disk space to within 10 megs.

Now the above tells me that there is a config error somewhere. In order
to test this, I log into my monitor server, and issue the following
command;

./Check_nrpe -H client_ip -c check_disk 50 80

My understanding tells me that the following happens

*	The check_nrpe plugin on the nagios monitor server runs, and
accesses the client at client_ip
*	It initiates its local check_disk plugin with the parameters of
50 and 80.
*	This causes the check_disk plugin on the client to run, as if
typed locally in this manner check_disk -w 50 -c 80

Running check_disk 50 80 on client_ip returns data on the disk state
Running ./Check_nrpe -H client_ip -c check_disk 50 80 on Nagios monitor
server returns unknown argument

I cannot figure out what is causing this discrepancy - check_nrpe -H
client_ip returns Nagios version so I know the communication works.

Any help will be appreciated

Kind Regards,
Mr Gabriel

I configure the Dell OpenManage agent to send SNMP traps to the Nagios
server, then use NagTrap to process them.  I'm not 100% sure if this
will give you everything you are asking for though.

What is the configuration command of check_disk of the nrpe  in the clinet machine ?

Did you setup the nrpe with the support-args when you complied it ?

if not , the you will not be able to pass arguments to the nrpe executor , but will have to define 
the exect execution of each command in the nrpe client side.

Hi all.

First of all, let me say I'm not writing this post for Ethan's sake,
but because I'm a member of the Nagios Community Advisory board and
I feel this is information the community should take part of.

Secondly, Ethan's under quite a bit of stress right now. If anybody
wants to cheer him up, send him a postcard or a picture of a screen
showing Nagios. He told me once it would be quite cool to get such
postcards but he never found an opportunity to ask for it. I can't
think of a better time than now ;-)

The address to Nagios Enterprises is
Nagios Enterprises, LLC
P.O. Box 8154
Saint Paul, MN 55108


Now read on and, in the words of The Hitchhikers Guide to the
Galaxy: Don't panic.

It's really the input from the community that matters the most. I *am*
a developer, and as a developer I applaud the effort to create a better
product, but as a human being I really don't like the way it's being
done.

It's been discussed quite a lot on the nagios-devel mailing list.
The facts so far seems to be thus:
* Netways registered "Nagios" as a trademark in Germany last year.
* The Icinga team is managed by Bernd Erk, who is also the chief
  programmer of Netways (to me, this makes it seem as if Netways
  instigated the fork).
* Ethan has been absent from the community for too long, stating legal
  issues against Netways for trademark violation as the reason for this.
* The primary reason stated for the fork is that the Icinga team feel
  that development isn't being done openly enough.
* Some german nagios-tribute sites claim to have received email from
  Nagios Enterprises requesting that they add a paragraph on their page
  stating that they're not affiliated with Nagios Enterprises in any
  way, and this has caused bad blood in the community (I have no details
  about this, and can therefore not give any).
* The icinga team has released no sources (ie, making a *worse* mistake
  than they feel Ethan is doing, who at least keeps his source repo
  publically available).
* The roadmap for Icinga focuses mainly on 3rd party addons that could
  easily have been created *without* forking.
* Some prominent developers and community members (no, I won't give
  names, but I'm one of them) think this is primarily an attempt from
  Netways to usurp the Nagios community.
* The german community developers that have responded on the nagios-devel
  list seem honest about their desire to create a better product.
* The development method of the Nagios core *will* change in some way.
  More on that later in this mail.

Later, it appears, is now.

So far, we ("we" being originally me and Ethan, and two emails later the
community advisory board, which presently consists of Ethan, myself, Ton
Voon, Alex Burger and Thomas Guyot-Sionnest) have discussed (nothing is
decided) increasing the number of people with commit access to the nagios
core repository.
I have been asked to join this team, and I've suggested two others whom
I feel can add value to the development process. I won't name any names
since neither have accepted or declined yet.

Me and Ton Voon argued that it would be a good idea to have all tecnical
and socio-technical (ie, patch-submission alternatives) on nagios-devel
instead of on a hidden list where a large part of the community have no
insight into the development process. Ethan hasn't responded to this yet,
but that's not so surprising as it was 2AM in Minnesota when me and Ton
wrote our emails, and it's currently 5AM (I think).

>From what I've gathered from the discussions, it seems we agree on
incorporating Icinga patches into Nagios if they hold good quality and
add value to Nagios. Since many of the developers on the Icinga team are
quite good programmers, this should benefit Nagios rather quickly.
To make it easier to incorporate patches from the Icinga team, we have
also discussed moving the core Nagios repository to git from CVS. Read-
only users won't necessarily see any changes at all, as there already
exists a cvs-server capable of serving git repositories. For tarball
users and software distributions, it has zero impact.

Anything apart from the above that's been going on is either loose
speculation, bad research or misunderstanding on my behalf or relates
to information I haven't seen. I may also have missed something, in
which case I'm sure someone will point out my mistakes.

Don't be. Well, be, but reserve some gratitude for yourself for using
it. Without a userbase, a project is just an academic exercise with as
much real value as a bucket of sand in a desert.

Oh, and send a postcard :)

Dear Chethan,

Yes, replacing the files will work without doubts. I myself have had 3 migrations in the past :) . To check with the plugins just migrate the
configuration files and the /usr/local/nagios/share directory to the new server and run it.

If there are some plugins missing you will get a CRITICAL error stating "plugins out of bounds" you can then digg into that particular service
check, the command and then the plugin to which it is associated.

Well by farth its the mailing list that gives you all set of helps.

Gabriel 

I believe you may be confusing the two components .
Nagios is the core system submitting requests and gathering the answers from the clients and 
network.
NRPE is a client agent installed on the individual server being monitored from the nagios - and 
AFAIK there is no rpm for it , you can download it from the nagios site -> addons 	
http://www.nagios.org/download/addons/

Please read the documentation about the NRPE and see how to set it up to your needs .

Subject: Nagios 3 ACK author
Message-ID: <3B540667-800B-4ADB-ABCE-3994FA3E1919@wunderloop.com>

Hi everybody,

a few words before:
-> we're running a Nagios 3 installation
-> logins are disabled - everybody is nagiosadmin per default (only  
internally reachable)

Now I'm searching for a possibility to force the users to enter their  
name when they acknowledge a problem.

Currenty the author name is set to the default login per default  
(nagiosadmin).
Some people leave this name in there and we can't see who has ack'ed.

Is there any way to leave the author name empty that Nagios rejects  
the ack without entering a name?

Thanks a lot,

Sven

Does nsca run in a chroot jail? I'm not sure if it can do that.

If that's the case, nsca may think that /usr/local/nagios is really the 
root of the file system, and anything above that directory is 
essentially hidden. In that case, you'd have to change the nsca.cfg 
configuration to use /var/rw/nagios.cmd (or strip out whatever the root 
of the chroot jail is).

I configure the Dell OpenManage agent to send SNMP traps to the Nagios
server, then use NagTrap to process them.  I'm not 100% sure if this
will give you everything you are asking for though.

Jim

Subject: Nagios Monitor Server, and NRPE clients,
	giving funny results
In-Reply-To: <200905081800.28214.assaf.flatto@ssp-intl.com>

I get the concept, NRPE is installed on my client servers, and nagios
itself is installed on ate server designated the monitor server. This
server itself also has NRPE installed as it's monitored by a separate
nagios install, but that's above and beyond this issue. I've been told
that I cannot pass arguments to NRPE from the monitor server. For
example, check_nrpe -H client_IP check_disk - is the most that I can
issue on the monitor server. I guess this then means that in the *.cfg
files on nagios, everywhere it says check_nrpe!check_disk - there should
be no arguments after it?

If this is the case, then I think I found where the guy I replaced made
a mistake!

The simple way is to create per-user accounts with admin rights and
then create contacts with the same names as the usernames you set.
The difficult way is to hack the CGI's and recompile.

Hi

does the command_file parameter in your nagios.cfg point to /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd?

Betreff: [Nagios-users] NSCA - Command file does not exist

Hi all,

When I send a packet to ncsa server this not processed.

In /var/log/messages:

Command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' does not exist,attempting to use alternate dump file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump' for output

But nagios.cmd exists and the permissions are good.

I guess you need to look in /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg:

  # LOCK AUTHOR NAMES OPTION
  # This option determines whether users can change the author name
  # when submitting comments, scheduling downtime.  If disabled, the
  # author names will be locked into their contact name, as defined in Nagios.
  # Values: 0 = allow editing author names
  #         1 = lock author names (disallow editing)

  lock_author_names=1

And configure Nagios so that people will login using their own username.

hth,

Jim

That is how I have mine set up Craig and it is working as follows:

Alerts 1, 2 and 3 are emails, then 4, 5 and six are SMS and no emails are
sent.

However after that it reverts back to sending mails again.

I think you may not fully understand how NRPE works - check_nrpe just 
tells a client to run a predefined check.


In your scenario, with a typical NRPE setup, there would be a check on 
the Nagios server :

define command {
         command_name    check_remote_disk
         command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe2 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 
check_disk -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}


And a corresponding entry in the client nrpe.cfg:

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

Now to actually make it check:

define service{
         host_name               server.example.com
         service_description     Disk Space Check
         use                     generic-service
         check_command    	check_remote_disk!50!80
}


On the Nagios host, this check is expanded to `check_nrpe2 -H 
server.example.com -c check_disk -a 50 80`, which  is seen by the NRPE 
daemon, and exanded to `/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk -w 50 -c 80`.

Even if you can't pass arguments to the client NRPE because of policy or 
security reasons, you can still pass arguments on to the client-local 
check scripts with a few minor changes.

On Nagios:

define command {
         command_name    check_remote_disk
         command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe2 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 
check_disk_default
}

define service{
         host_name               server.example.com
         service_description     foo.txt file age
         use                     generic-service
         check_command    	check_remote_disk
}


And finally on the client nrpe.cfg:
command[check_disk_default]= /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk -w 50 
-c 80

The only real tradeoffs to doing it this way are relating to templating 
and configuration centralization, so the hit is restricted to management 
overhead.

I'm trying to find a way of letting our users acknowledge their own servers faults without the 
need to log in to Nagios, I have seen that there are remote commands you can issue which allow 
this to happen, but this is where I need a little instruction on how to use them.

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=39

In the Nagios book I have been reading it mention's the use of Ticket Systems and making sure that 
Nagios can integrate with them and when I goggled the question the one of the results I got was 
OTRS.

I guess that means I can raise a ticket by injecting Nagios info into it, but would I be able to 
use ACK's from within too, if not do you know of a solution that could do this.

Thanks

Craig

I configure the Dell OpenManage agent to send SNMP traps to the Nagios
server, then use NagTrap to process them.  I'm not 100% sure if this
will give you everything you are asking for though.

Ok , but IPMI is a standard while OpenManage is just for Dell Servers ....

That's true and in an ideal world I agree, but often you will find
that the tool provided specifically by the manufacturer to monitor the
hardware which they designed will give you more detail than the open
more general-purpose one.  That's not alway the case though of course,
sometimes the manufacturer's tools are a pile of junk!

Me, I use whatever will get the job done.  I inherited some servers
which already had OpenManage installed so I used it.

Cheers,

Jim

And it appears that first result has not been updated since 2002.  Is
the failure detection feature just a vestigial organ that never
finished developing?

The "-s=ERROR" is being POSTed because you're missing an argument for 
-P, making Nagios interpret the rest as the required string for -P.

HTTP reply 200 means that the webserver found the page you requested .
if you want to get an ERROR you should either point to a non existing page , which will give you  
the  404 error , 

in the example you provide it seem you are trying to submit some string to the jsp and expecting it 
to return an error , but you are not submitting any string .

In this command line, "-s=ERROR" will be interpreted as an argument to
the "-P" option, see the "--help" output:

$ check_http -h | grep -A 1 -- ' -P'
 -P, --post=STRING
    URL encoded http POST data

Without the "-P" option (or with an appropriate argument to the "-P"
option), things should work as expected:

$ check_http -H www.nagiosplugins.org -P -s=ERROR

Hi,

thanks for the replies but we don't want to create user accounts for >  
30 people if it's not absolutely neccesary.

So the auto-login is the only way so far...

I do not understand you right...
I try to explain more detail.

On some site works some jsp what check inner logic of site and return in 
body OKEY or ERROR.

I what to make a check_http and IF i got in page body word "ERROR" - 
then make check critical IF in page body i got "OKEY" - return OK.

As I understand -s= - it is what I expect in page body.

Or I not understand it right? :-)

Subject: check_by_ssh error: Remote command execution failed:

Message-ID: <4A0452E2.6020101@cbio.mskcc.org>

	I'm not finding much current documentation on check_by_ssh -- does it work?

	I have set up the nagios account with /bin/sh as its shell on 2 Linux 
Nagios servers and several clients (RHEL/SuSE/Sol10). I installed 
nagios-plugins-1.4.13 on the clients, and set up public key trust for ssh.

	Unfortunately, Nagios remote checks via check_by_ssh fail from both 
servers to all clients. Here's the debug transcript trying to 
check_disks on jean (Solaris 10):

No, you're right about -s, but you command is being parsed as:

./check_http -v -H example.com -u /some.jsp -P "-s=ERROR"

because you're missing an argument for the -P flag.

Change it to:

./check_http -v -H example.com -u /some.jsp -s=ERROR

and it will work as you expect.

Hello,

When i made an snmpwalk to a ip computer there is no response.
The snmpwalk to a switch,router or printer works ok.

Does any body know the reason?

Hola de nuevo...

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand
and participate in this subject.

I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you
should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk
on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help
of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference.

My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port
in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I
positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was
significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: 

iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7

(maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7)

defined as: "a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt
on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy".

The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value
for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work
properly.

The command I defined for this was like this: 

define command {
	command_name check_port
	command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O
iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries
}

For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a
more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Hasta la proxima, 

      Alejandro

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con
nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la
PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

************************************

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check
with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search
for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View:
Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown,
and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you
monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and
blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working
properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
0 -m RFC1213-MIB
	notifications_enabled	0
	}



THANKS...
Mat?as Blanco.

I've been running Centreon for quite a while now under Solaris 10. It  
was a beast to setup correctly at first but once that hurdle was taken  
it's been smooth riding. I am still running 1.4 and Nagios 2 but I am  
planning to go to Centreon 2 and Nagios 3 in the near future.

Thank you - it is works.
But last strange thing - check returns OK if I expect ANY letter of 
"OKAY" word.

./check_http -v -H example.com -u /some.jsp -s K  -- returns OK and so 
on. Bug?

Message-ID: <699b436a0905081113p79e3c9b3h269413ea75d84a48@mail.gmail.com>

In order to monitor the remote linux server we are using check_by_ssh as
root. I know it is not advisable to use it as root , but we are in a
transition to NRPE slowly which uses nagios.

Here's what i did :

1) As root copied the id_rsa.pub to the remote server's  root user's .ssh
directory and pasted it to the authorized_keys .

2) Then did ssh <remote server ip> and was able to login without password.

3) Then excecuted the check command remotely:

check_by_ssh -t 30 -l root -H <remote server ip> -C
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w10,15,20 -c15,20,25"
OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00,
0.00|load1=0.000000;10.000000;15.000000;0.000000
load5=0.000000;15.000000;20.000000;0.000000
load15=0.000000;20.000000;25.000000;0.000000

check_by_ssh -t 30 -l root -H <remote server ip>  -C
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_uptime"
UPTIME OK - System up for 6 HOUR(s) and 38 Minute(s)
 Looks perfectly fine!!!

But from the Web interface i see this :

Remote command execution failed: buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes
129 than in buffer 97

I am clue less . Please advice me on this .

This tells me that you're most likely not monitoring those through  
NRPE on the remote machines. I suspect that this is the value for your  
nagios machine. Config examples would help clarify.

Correct.

Incorrect. check_nrpe does not pass arguments to the remote NRPE  
daemon unless --
	- it was compiled with the --enable-command-args flag
	- dont_blame_nrpe is set in nrpe.cfg
	- you pass them with the -a switch to check_nrpe
	- See the SECURITY document for NRPE for documentation and examples.

> *	This causes the check_disk plugin on the client to run, as if

No, but you may specify those arguments in the command definition in  
nrpe.cfg instead of trying to pass them via check_nrpe.

I expect you see now that the '50 80' is being interpreted as an  
argument to check_nrpe itself, not check_disk, hence the 'unknown  
argument' error. If they're static numbers, you're probably fine just  
specifying them in each host's nrpe.cfg file.

1. Make sure snmpd is running on the host. (classic mistake)
2. Make sure your community string and/or credentials are the same on the 
host and client.
3. Make sure you're using the same snmp version on client and server (v1, 
v2c, or v3)
4. Try running a tcpdump on the host while you're attempting the snmpwalk 
to verify that the snmp requests are reaching the host. At the same time 
verify that the host is trying to send out responses.
   # tcpdump udp port 161

I'm sure there are more tests you can do but this is a start.

No, not a bug. You're searching for 'K' and it is present in the word  
'OKAY' in the page. You're searching for simple strings, not words.  
Searching for the string 'OKAY' would successfully match  
'thisisreallycoolOKAYthxbai'.

You're running the same check repeatedly on one host.  Look carefully

This is, IMHO, one of the greatest problems with open source
development.  Too much bickering, splintering and forking dilutes the
value of the product.  It's unfortunate that the main nagios devs and
these icinga people could not work together to simply improve the
existing code base.  There are a lot of great features that could be
added to nagios, yet it feels like development on some of these major
features has been very sloooooooow.

Ethan, if you're reading this, cheer up mate.  You are sitting on a
virtual gold mine.  Nagios is hands-down the best network monitoring
system available, you should be minting money selling support
contracts for it.  If you aren't then hire some good salespeople to
sell your support contracts and maybe a find good web developer to
give the GUI an upgrade!

If it's social-networking problems, I recommend maybe facebook.com!

Seriously though, it depends.  If it's to do with Linux you could seek
out your local LUG, but why not just say what the problem is here, you
never know ... someone might find a solution to your problem AND
explain how Nagios can help you to check how effective their answer to
it was!

Yeah, because out of all of the commercial closed source development
projects I've worked on, none of them have ever had bickering,
splintering, forking or anything else horrible go on with them.

Nope, not social, although if I don't get it fixed soon (or find  
another solution) it might become a social problem :-) I didn't post  
it here because I thought some might get annoyed with me cluttering  
the list with non-nagios problems, but here goes.

Thanks to a recent company acquisition made by my company (Frontier  
Flying), we are now dealing with two separate networks (they will  
eventually be combined, but that's a ways off still). The company we  
bought (Era aviation) uses a piece of software called Sabre for their  
flight reservations, which contacts a central server to which their  
network has a direct connection. The Sabre server itself is on a third  
network, but there are a couple of routers that link the two (Sabre  
and Era) across a private network, so asside from a couple of routing  
and NAT statements they are effectively on the same network.

In order to be able to run Sabre on our network, we established a VPN  
tunnel between our network and Era's. As far as I can tell, the VPN is  
functioning. I can ping computers on the Era network, including the  
Sabre server, and can access and control various computers on the Era  
network. For initial testing purposes we installed the sabre software  
(windows only) inside a parallels installation on one of our Mac  
laptops. This worked perfectly. So far so good. Until we tried  
installing the software on one of our Windows desktops. Then the  
problems started. The Sabre software would make the initial connection  
and log in the user, but when it tried to download the initial info it  
needs, it just timed out. Every time. Meanwhile, the laptop, which was  
connected through the same dumb switch, continued to work perfectly.  
Every time. We took the Windows machine off our network and put it on  
Era's (different location, obviously) and it started working. Put it  
back on ours, timeout.

Since then we have tried installing Sabre on a number of different  
computers on our network. A second Mac laptop running parallels works  
fine, while a mac desktop with an identical install of parallels  
doesn't. We have managed get one Windows machine running the software  
on our network, while a stack of four windows machines that Era sent  
us which had been working on their network just fine don't work.

On one hand it seems impossible that it could be an issue with the  
network, because you would expect that to affect all computers  
equally, not the hit-and miss (but mostly miss) scenario that we are  
facing. On the other hand, it can't be a problem with the individual  
computer, because the same computer with the exact same configuration  
(including network settings - DHCP) works fine on the Era network, but  
stops working when moved to ours. We thought maybe it was a DNS  
problem (since obviously DHCP on our network would give different DNS  
servers than DHCP on Era's network), so we tried putting the Era DNS  
servers in statically, but while it worked as far as DNS went (we  
still got name resolution) that didn't help with Sabre.

We are going bald here tearing our hair out trying to figure out what  
could be causing this issue. Sabre technical support is no help - they  
just say it's our problem. Management is coming down on us pretty hard  
to get something working here, so any help anyone can provide would be  
GREATLY appreciated :-). Let me know if I left out any relevant  
details or testing we performed!

You have my every sympathy.  That kind of network problem can be a
right pain to solve.

I had a similar problem with a VPN from home to work a while ago.
After lots of googling I found the home router I was using had some
problem with packet reassembly (whatever that is) which was fixed by
upgrading to the latest firmware.  It was a bit strange because when I
wasn't using the VPN to work (just using normal internet) the router
seemed to work flawlessly.  It was only when I was connected to the
work network over SecuRemote that the problem reared its ugly head.

Once I'd upgraded the firmware, it was fine ...

... then I replaced the router with a wireless one from a different
manufacturer and even when I connected wired the problem was back
again!  Served me right for buying a cheapo one.

Not sure if that will help you at all though :-(

Hi Israel,

You do have a weird problem. It's difficult to give any hints -- it
seems you should try to solve this as methodically as possible, e.g.
with root cause analysis or some other troubleshooting method.

At least, try to record what is working and what is not working in
some kind of matrix. Maybe some trend comes out.
For example, you mention that Sabre works inside a VM on Mac; how
about in a VM on Windows?

Maybe some network sniffing could be useful also. What TCP/UDP ports
are used with the software. What kind of VPN you have? Is any of
routers filtering traffic?

Regards,
Ari Constancio

Hi, sounds like classic MTU issues to me. Path MTU discovery is broken due to firewalls blocking ICMP and the VPN overhead is introduced, things break in very strange ways.  Take one of the windows machines while connected to the non-working network and lower it's MTU, reload and test again:

http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/280/

You can also try this theory out by varying the size of the ping packet you test with.  See if your ping breaks at a certain MTU.  Get some wireshark packet captures of a session too, this may point you in the right direction.

Nope, not social, although if I don't get it fixed soon (or find
another solution) it might become a social problem :-) I didn't post
it here because I thought some might get annoyed with me cluttering
the list with non-nagios problems, but here goes.

Thanks to a recent company acquisition made by my company (Frontier
Flying), we are now dealing with two separate networks (they will
eventually be combined, but that's a ways off still). The company we
bought (Era aviation) uses a piece of software called Sabre for their
flight reservations, which contacts a central server to which their
network has a direct connection. The Sabre server itself is on a third
network, but there are a couple of routers that link the two (Sabre
and Era) across a private network, so asside from a couple of routing
and NAT statements they are effectively on the same network.

In order to be able to run Sabre on our network, we established a VPN
tunnel between our network and Era's. As far as I can tell, the VPN is
functioning. I can ping computers on the Era network, including the
Sabre server, and can access and control various computers on the Era
network. For initial testing purposes we installed the sabre software
(windows only) inside a parallels installation on one of our Mac
laptops. This worked perfectly. So far so good. Until we tried
installing the software on one of our Windows desktops. Then the
problems started. The Sabre software would make the initial connection
and log in the user, but when it tried to download the initial info it
needs, it just timed out. Every time. Meanwhile, the laptop, which was
connected through the same dumb switch, continued to work perfectly.
Every time. We took the Windows machine off our network and put it on
Era's (different location, obviously) and it started working. Put it
back on ours, timeout.

Since then we have tried installing Sabre on a number of different
computers on our network. A second Mac laptop running parallels works
fine, while a mac desktop with an identical install of parallels
doesn't. We have managed get one Windows machine running the software
on our network, while a stack of four windows machines that Era sent
us which had been working on their network just fine don't work.

On one hand it seems impossible that it could be an issue with the
network, because you would expect that to affect all computers
equally, not the hit-and miss (but mostly miss) scenario that we are
facing. On the other hand, it can't be a problem with the individual
computer, because the same computer with the exact same configuration
(including network settings - DHCP) works fine on the Era network, but
stops working when moved to ours. We thought maybe it was a DNS
problem (since obviously DHCP on our network would give different DNS
servers than DHCP on Era's network), so we tried putting the Era DNS
servers in statically, but while it worked as far as DNS went (we
still got name resolution) that didn't help with Sabre.

We are going bald here tearing our hair out trying to figure out what
could be causing this issue. Sabre technical support is no help - they
just say it's our problem. Management is coming down on us pretty hard
to get something working here, so any help anyone can provide would be
GREATLY appreciated :-). Let me know if I left out any relevant
details or testing we performed!

As far as I can see, the failure_prediction_enabled flag does absolutely
nothing right now.

I can certainly imagine a reason for this. Failure prediction is *hard*.
To get it right, you need to take into account
1. The current check thresholds (currently specified as arguments to
    Nagios plugins, so Nagios core knows nothing about them)
2. The average delta between several checks over a possibly *very* long
    period of time.
3. The number of times the potential problem is being taken care of
    before it becomes a problem, and how this affects the average delta.
4. Artificial intelligence to learn about previous problems in other
    areas of the network that could, potentially, lead to problems with
    the monitored host.

Personally, I think you're wrong. GCC (one of the most portable and
portability-friendly compiler collections in the world) "suffered" a
big fat fork in 1997, and it ended up being extremely good for the
project.

The X windowing system *remains* forked into at least 4 different
schisms. Right now, it looks as if X.org is winning. A few years
ago, everyone used XFree86.

True. That's a major complaint of the forkees too. The majorest (err..)
is that development hasn't been open enough though. Ethan and some other
prominent community members are working on fixing that. I'm guessing
info regarding that will be publicly available on monday afternoon,
European time.

I agree about the GUI. Rumor has it that discussions are under way to
solve that too very shortly.

Ethan will send something out very early next week (not "he may do so"
or "I hope he will do so"; He *will* do so, or I'll go to minnesota and
thump him on the head). The email he'll send out will contain, among
other things, his future plans to make Nagios development move along
faster. Possibly, there'll be something about GUI discussions in there
as well. It's friday night here (2:32 AM), and I really don't know
everything. This time, I feel confident that noone will be disappointed
when I say: "Just wait and see. There may be pumpkins in it."

No can do then. You can lock the author-field, but if everyone are
authenticated as the same person, using the exact same credentials,
there's no way of telling them apart automatically. You *could* add
a check to see if the field isn't changed. That requires basic C
programming skills and a rudimentary grasp of how HTML works when
posting form data. If you still want help with that, you can probably
contact op5 and get a consultancy price. I doubt it'll be of much use
to the community, so it *will* come with a price-tag.

If your accounts are in LDAP you can do some scripting to sync between
LDAP and Nagios.  Since it seems you more care about individual
usernames but not strong security, you can just make the password the
same for each account when you create the HTTP AUTh account on the
Nagios poller.

Either that or you can use the same philosophy, script to sync Nagios
user accounts from LDAP queries, and then use one of the Apache LDAP
authentication modules to authenticate the user so they use their real
password to authenticate.

Subject: NSCA - Command file does not exist

Does the nsca user or group have access to every single directory along 
the path? Easy way to try:

su - nagios
cd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
ls -lah *

Note: the above won't work if user nagios has /bin/false as a shell. In 
that case, try
su -s /bin/bash - nagios

It should list nagios.cmd (and probably some other files)

What are you trying to acheive?  Nagios itself doesn't use MySQL, but
some of the plugins can, and NDOUtils does.

Message-ID: <C41B5F52D530C94ABC153C9250AB8086C9E1F1@ra.impactteachers.local>

Dear All,
 
I've completed my nagios installation, thanks to a bit of lurking on this list, and now I have an issue of my own.
 
I've finished configuring a host with all the checks and warnings that I need, and now I want to use all the same checks on my other hosts. I don't want to have to keep changing every host once when i install and configure new plugins. How can create a template so that all host are 'updated' with new checks when i update just the template?
 
Thanks for any advice in advance.

http://nagios.org/docs/ is a good place to start

If you have installed from source, the relevant config is usually  
under /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/. See templates.cfg there - that  
can give you a clue.

Gabriel,

 From experience, you're better off using host groups.  For example all 
your hosts will have certain checks (ping, disk space etc) so I have a 
group "all hosts" which all hosts are added to.

We also have hosts that perform their own functions - e.g. database 
servers, DNS servers, web servers, which all have relevant checks of 
their own.  So we have other host groups called, for example, "DNS 
servers", "web servers" etc which each host is added to the group 
depending on the function it performs.  All service checks are then 
added to the host groups, instead of individual hosts.

Then if we come up with a new service check, it gets added to the host 
group it needs to be in, and is automatically added to all hosts in that 
group.  Similarly if we add a new server, it gets added to the host 
groups it needs to be in, and inherits all the service checks of that 
group without any additional configuration.

See this page for the above (and plenty other) time-saving tricks: 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html

HTH,

Andy

First place to look for plugins and so on is
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?d=1

I use Oracle Grid Control to do most of the monitoring for Oracle
Databases.  It's fairly easy to redirect alerts as SNMP traps from
Grid Control to your Nagios server (for example using NagTrap) if you
wish.

I believe using the Oracle Lightweight Client with Nagios to monitor
Oracle is covered in Wolfgang Barth's Book (certainly it was in the
1st edition).  http://nostarch.com/nagios_2e.htm

hth,

Jim

It's also one of the biggest strengths of open source development and
the FOSS community.  Don't like the way a closed source product does
something?  Well 90% of the time you have to suck it up.  Don't like the
way an open source product does something?  Well write some code, submit
 a patch, maintain your own branch, or even fork if you want.

I have Nagios installed also on Ubuntu 8.10, and I installed net-snmp like this: 
 
a) Download the file net-snmp-5.4.2.1.tar.gz from Sourceforge.net.
b) Untar the file: tar -xvf net-snmp-5.4.2.1.tar.gz
c) cd net-snmp-5.4.2.1
d) ./configure
e) make
f) make install
 
And done... 
 
Hope this helps...
 
Best regards, 
 
        Alejandro

Asunto: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring switches via SNMP --


	(...) 
	 
	I changed ifOperStatus.INSIDE from ifOperStatus.1 because an snmpwalk on the device said that's what this port name was, but I can change it back.  But googling the error (Return code of 127 ...) seems to indicate I'm missing net-snmp or net-snmp-util, but I'm not sure how to install them -- can't do a rpm -qa on Ubuntu, and I don't know what the corresponding command is with apt-get.  But searching the Ubuntu repositories, I can' find an equivalent to net-snmp-util, so I think that's the problem.  Snmpwalk works though, so I figure I have something half-working...
	
	
	The other error I see is:
	
	---
	Port 1 Bandwidth UNKNOWN     05-07-2009 17:02:24     0d 2h 38m 14s     3/3     check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file 
	
	---

	        }
	---
	
	I looked, and /var/lib/mrtg/ didn't exist.  Googling, I saw a tip to change it to /var/www/mrtg/, but that directory didn't exist either.  I created /var/lib/mrtg/ and chown'd it to nagios:nagios and restarted Nagios, but still nothing.  Is there a mrtg config file I need to edit?
	
	Should I check into check_cisco.pl, or does that work better for the huge switches than the itty-bitty 4-porters?
	
	Thanks a heap,
	-Mike

How about

ls -lahd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw /usr/local/nagios/var 
/usr/local/nagios /usr/local /usr

They should all at a minimum have X permission for either the nagios 
user or the group or for world.

Yes, this looks good. Besides, I only just noticed that you did the ls 
-lah * as user nagios, so we now have double confirmation that this 
works. Another question: what happens when you manually feed a command 
into nagios.cmd?

echo "xxx" >>/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

It should basically succeed without any message. If you look in your 
nagios log files, you'll probably see an invalid command "xxx" being 
logged. Finally, you could try stopping nagios, deleting the nagios.cmd 
file if it stayed around, and restarting nagios. It should get 
recreated. This just in case it is somehow "messed up".

First place to look for plugins and so on is
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?d=1

I use Oracle Grid Control to do most of the monitoring for Oracle
Databases.  It's fairly easy to redirect alerts as SNMP traps from
Grid Control to your Nagios server (for example using NagTrap) if you
wish.

I believe using the Oracle Lightweight Client with Nagios to monitor
Oracle is covered in Wolfgang Barth's Book (certainly it was in the
1st edition).  http://nostarch.com/nagios_2e.htm

hth,

Jim

Briefly, the steps are as follows:


First choose which plugins you think will be useful to you.

Then, install them (usually copy the executable files to
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/ and give them similar ownership and
permissions to the files already there).

Make sure you understand what they do and can run them from the command line.

Configure service checks in Nagios to make use of these plugins.


You will probably need to install the Oracle lightweight client (or
ordinary Oracle client software) on your Nagios server in order to run
these plugins.  Alternatively you could use nrpe or check_by_ssh to
run them on the remote server.


You will need to read some documentation to understand how to do all
this.  If you find the online documentation heavy going, I recommend
you purchase the book "Nagios" by Wofgang Barth which I mentioned
earlier.

I don't use these plugins myself, so can't offer you any sample
configs (otherwise I would).

Cheers,

Jim

Please read http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html

Check whether you can send an email from the command-line on your
Nagios server, for example:


  /usr/bin/mail -s "A test email" harishtyagi.81 at gmail.com
  This is just a test.
  .
  Cc:

If that doesn't work, you probably need to install an email client on
your server, or configure it correctly to forward emails through your
smtp server.

See the FAQ at http://nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=18&expand=false&showdesc=true

hth,

Message-ID: <4A0809FC.4080304@networthdirect.com>

Hi,


I am using Nagios to monitor few branch connectivity
all these branches are connected through VSAT.

All VSATs are under dedicated hostgroup.
I need to delegate one of team member to maintain these hosts through nagios web interface.

I am looking for option to grant access rights to specific authenticated user to manager hostgroup.

e.g I tried configuring followings in cgi.cfg to allow branchsupport user to manage VSAT hostgroup.
authorized_for_VSAT_hostgroup=branchsupport

Kindly guide me with appropriate configuration.




Thanks & Regards

Just to clarify, and I thank you and all who replied for taking the
time.

It's easier to create hostgroups, and assign checks to the host groups,
then assign the hosts to those same hostgroups, in order to make sure
for example, all linux based servers have their uptime, swap space, SSH,
and free disk space all checked? If my understanding is correct, a host
can belong to many hostgroups? In which case, a host that is running a
webserver, mysql server, and FTP service, will be checked for those
services not by its host definition, but by its host group definition?

I half hope that I'm not right, because it means I have to reconfigure
all my host defs!

I doubt I've remembered everything, but hopefully these notes might help...

I downloaded the tarball drraw-2.2b2.tar.gz from
http://web.taranis.org/drraw/#download

I extracted it under /var/www, then renamed the directory from
drraw-2.2bd to drraw.

I editted the file /var/www/drraw/drraw.conf to set the datadirs like so:

  %datadirs = ('/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata-nagios2'  => '[Nagios2] ',
               '/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata'  => '[Nagios3] ',
              );

You probably only need the one datadir - I have some old .rrds in
perfdata-nagios2 I like to be able to look at too.

I set variables for the working directories for drraw like so:

  $saved_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/saved';
  $tmp_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/tmp';

These already existed on my system from a previous install - you may
need to create them.  Put them wherever you think is suitable and make
sure they are writeable by apache (on my system permissions on these
are "drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data").



I create the file /etc/apache2/conf.d/drraw.conf like so:


# ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

  Alias /drraw "/var/www/drraw"
  <Directory "/var/www/drraw">
      DirectoryIndex  drraw.cgi
  #  SSLRequireSSL
     Options +ExecCGI
     AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
     AllowOverride None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
  #  Order deny,allow
  #  Deny from all
  #  Allow from 127.0.0.1
     AuthName "Nagios Access"
     AuthType Basic
     AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
     Require valid-user
  </Directory>



and restarted the apache daemon to make it take effect.

I hope this helps.

If you're still having trouble, please be a bit more specific about
what you are having a problem with.

Cheers,

Jim

I can`t see that information.

I don`t have 0.0.0.0:161

The problem is that I can`t add the port exeption in winxp, because some
admin had block it by policies from active directory.
I have acces to ActDir but I don`t know what is the policy blocks it

Sorry for my bad English

When you do a 
netstat -an 

on the PC in question do you see something similar to: 
0.0.0.0:161 

i.e. the PC is listening on port 161 UDP?

Asunto: RE: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hola de nuevo...

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand
and participate in this subject.

I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you
should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk
on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help
of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference.

My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port
in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I
positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was
significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: 

iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7

(maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7)

defined as: "a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt
on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy".

The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value
for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work
properly.

The command I defined for this was like this: 

define command {
	command_name check_port
	command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O
iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries }

For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a
more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Hasta la proxima, 

      Alejandro

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con
nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la
PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

Cristian




************************************

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check
with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search
for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View:
Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown,
and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you
monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and
blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working
properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

         Alejandro

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w

The output of check_disk doesn't seem to be making any sense.  Can

gigabytes and terabytes confused, but something is clearly wrong.   
Using the -u  GB or -u MB switch doesn't help any.
Oh, and this is on a PPC XServe MAC running OS X 10.5.6.
The device that's reporting wrong is an NFS disk on another server.
Thanks for any advice.

There were some problems with large (i.e. 80TB) filesystems under  
linux and solaris reported in 2007 but I believe that changes were  
made to accommodate those. Up to 16TB filesystems worked regardless.

You may be running into an OS specific issue. I believe the plugin is  
using standard system calls to obtain the utilization but there could  
be formatting issues or whatnot. Make sure you're using the latest  
plugin and if you don't get any other bites here, try posting as much  
information as possible to nagiosplug-devel.

I'm looking for a way to see if there are any unacknowledged host/service
problems within nagios.

 I've written up my own gosh-awful ugly code that parses nagios
logs to search for hosts that went down, haven't come back up, are
still in the nagios config and have not been acknowledged. Although
the coding appears to work, I'm wondering if there's an easier/cleaner
way to do it ie some plugin that just searchs for any ACKs more directly

TIA

Try the "Unhandled" link under the "Service|Host Problems" links in the GUI.

Hi,

this information in preparation for the Linux up2date patching, in

Hi

Not knowing exactly what distribution you are talking about (I assume
RHEL3 or 4, since 4 is the last one to use up2date), you can likely run 

rpm -qa | grep nag |sort

to get a sorted list of the RPMS you currently have related to nagios
(not counting whatever custom stuff  you do?), and go from there. 

As it is (to the best of my knowledge?) you must add 3rd party repos to
RHEL5 to get the nagios RPMs, however it's been awhile so I  may be
wrong.

As always, update -u  of *all* packages could be problematic if it bombs
in the middle, (compared to yum anyhow), so I understand your
hesitation, but from my knowledge, I would think a  large up2date -u
would not impact your current nagios, if that is the kind of answer you
are looking for... (again, any dependencies would depend on your
checks/environment, as always)... 

Hth, Cheers

If you've installed everything, including Nagios, via RPM/yum/up2date, then
you should get a warning if upgrading some packages will interfere with
Nagios.

Assuming you've installed Nagios via RPM/up2date, then you can do:

rpm -qa | grep nagios

To see what Nagios-related packages you have installed.  Then do a:

rpm -qR <nagios package name>

to see what packages Nagios requires.  That's actually going to show what
libraries and binaries are needed by Nagios, not the actual package names.

If you installed Nagios by source, then you'll need to find a Nagios 2.5.x
RPM, download it (don't install it)t, and do a:

rpm -qpR <rpm file>

to find out what it requires.  Better yet, go to the package maintainers
website and find the spec file that was used to build the RPM to find out
what packages are required to install the RPM.

You do not HAVE to reconfigure all your sevices,
But it may be easier to maintain of you examine your config
and redo it to something that fits your projected growth.

It may not be worth the time reorganizing the config files,
if none of your coworkers are willing to maintain the new structure

I personally like using
A) service check templates to configure the base check times and standards
B) Have some services templates assigned to standard hostgroups
C) Have nested config directories managing different clients


A single unique check does not need a hostgroup.
but a service templet for that host makes it just a few lines to add the new
check.

While a common check like a port check of FTP or 8080 would be better as a
Hostgroup


Good luck,

Is it possible to monitor  hosts/services in interval specified in 
second? Seems that interval could be given in minutes. Am I right or not?
Or is there another way to monitor/be informed/have history of suspected 
switch, host or printer dropouts more accurately?

  Thanks

You can reduce the interval length in the main configuration file.

See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#interval_length

You will also need to look at various other configuration directives
to see how this will affect various aspects of the Nagios system.

Another option is you can configure a cron job to run every few
seconds (yes that is possible, you create a script running every
minute which does, for example "foo ; sleep 15 ; foo ; sleep 15 ...").
 The cron job can submit passive results back to nagios either by
writing the command file directly or via nsca.

Personally, I consider that it is unlikely that anyone will respond to
an alert in only a few seconds so a minute interval length seems quite
reasonable to me.  In fact, I rarely use one-minute check intervals,
most in my system are configured at two, five or even more minute
intervals.

hth,

Assuming it is possible to send an email through mutt using a script,
you will need to modify your notify-host-by-email and
notify-service-by-email command definitions to use mutt rather than
/usr/bin/mail.

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

Hi Sundar,

Check your etc/objects/templates.cfg file and make sure that the
following default template is defined;

define host{
	name			windows-server	; The name of this host template
	use			generic-host	; Inherit default values from the generic-host template
	check_period		24x7		; By default, Windows servers are monitored round the clock
	check_interval		5		; Actively check the server every 5 minutes
	retry_interval		1		; Schedule host check retries at 1 minute intervals
	max_check_attempts	10		; Check each server 10 times (max)
	check_command		check-host-alive	; Default command to check if servers
are "alive"
	notification_period	24x7		; Send notification out at any time - day or night
	notification_interval	30		; Resend notifications every 30 minutes
	notification_options	d,r		; Only send notifications for specific host states
	contact_groups		admins		; Notifications get sent to the admins by default
	hostgroups		windows-servers ; Host groups that Windows servers should
be a member of
	register		0		; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST A TEMPLATE
	}

This should be there by default, but it sounds like your configuration
is missing this definition for some reason. It may be commented out by
default, I can't remember - but if so, just uncomment it.

Chris

It seems you used a template when you created your host definition into Nagios, but you hadn't created it. Try create the 'windows-server' template (I think you can also find it in some configuration file samples with your distribution of Nagios) or remove the template of your host definition if you don't need it.

Hi 

 

Last week on Thursday I've stopped NAGIOS, deleted files under
/var/nagios and restart it (NAGIOS)!

Yesterday Nagios gives me Infos like these (when I choose report period
: Last Week) :

 

 

UP                  Total:3d 10h 17m 9s               Total_Time:48.98%
Known_Time:100% 

Undetermined        Insufficient Data:3d 13h 42m      Total_Time:51s
51.02%

All                 Total:7d 0h 0m 0s



What means this "insufficient data"? 
How Nagios calculate this "availability report"? Give any some Lectures
about < how interpreted Nagios graphs > ?
How do we must considered these messages?

Any Ideas?

Dear All,

 

I need some help on Understanding the Existing Nagios setup in one of
our client system.

 

a.    How to check what all plugins installed?

b.    To check versions of all plugins, integrated patches, or any other
packages like NDutils,PNP etc...

c.     Need some document or questionnaire for checking the above points
and investigating the Nagios setup. 

 

Please help...

 

Looking for some useful suggestions.

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

To create its graphs, Nagios parses its log files. So if you delete them (or they are lost), it will be like Nagios wouldn't have been running for the period missing from the log file. For example, if the log files from May the 2nd to May the 4th are missing, you won't have any data on the status, the check results, etc... Nagios would have ran, and so no graphs either.

You might be better off looking at a tool dedicated to recording
performance information, for example Cacti or mrtg.  I would however
recommend that you configure your switches to send snmp traps to your
Nagios server - these will often point to where the problem lies if a
connection is dropping intermittently.  There are various ways you can
receive traps in Nagios, the easiest, but probably not the most
efficient is to use snmptt with NagTrap.


> But I'd like to ask you one more question.

Please do, but remember it's always best to post to the nagios-users
email list so everyone can benefit from the answer (or can disagree
with it if it's wrong).  I don't provide personal support!

Nagios itself does not bzip the archives under
/usr/local/nagios/var/archives/ (assuming those are the ones you
mean).  I expect you have a cron job running somewhere to do that.
Have a look in the files under /etc/cron.* and under
/var/spool/cron/crontabs .  I wouldn't normally zip any of the
archives unless you absolutely have to, as Nagios uses them for
reporting.

Cheers,

Jim

Usually, plugins are found under /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ .  If the
Nagios system uses passive checks, you might also find plugins
installed (almost anywhere) on the monitored servers too.

If the Nagios system was installed using the distro's repositories,
you might find some packages if you query aptittude, yum or whatever
package manager you use.

> b.??? To check versions of all plugins, integrated patches, or any other
> packages like NDutils,PNP etc?

Plugins will often allow you to use the "--version" argument to show
the version.  For example, from the command line, you can enter:

  /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp --version

Alternatively, if the plugin is written in perl,bash,ksh or whatever
you can examine the script itself to see if there are any version
numbers.

You can check the version of Nagios similarly:

  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios --version

> c.???? Need some document or questionnaire for checking the above points and
> investigating the Nagios setup.

Most of the Nagios config can be investigated by starting with
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg and /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg and
working from there.  You'll find references to ndo and PNP in there if
they're installed.

I recommend the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth to give you a good
start in understanding Nagios and most of the commonly implemented
add-ons.

Cheers,

Jim

I doubt I've remembered everything, but hopefully these notes might 
help...

I downloaded the tarball drraw-2.2b2.tar.gz from
http://web.taranis.org/drraw/#download

I extracted it under /var/www, then renamed the directory from
drraw-2.2bd to drraw.

I editted the file /var/www/drraw/drraw.conf to set the datadirs like so:

  %datadirs = ('/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata-nagios2'  => '[Nagios2] 
',
               '/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata'  => '[Nagios3] ',
              );

You probably only need the one datadir - I have some old .rrds in
perfdata-nagios2 I like to be able to look at too.

I set variables for the working directories for drraw like so:

  $saved_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/saved';
  $tmp_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/tmp';

These already existed on my system from a previous install - you may
need to create them.  Put them wherever you think is suitable and make
sure they are writeable by apache (on my system permissions on these
are "drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data").



I create the file /etc/apache2/conf.d/drraw.conf like so:


# ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

  Alias /drraw "/var/www/drraw"
  <Directory "/var/www/drraw">
      DirectoryIndex  drraw.cgi
  #  SSLRequireSSL
     Options +ExecCGI
     AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
     AllowOverride None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
  #  Order deny,allow
  #  Deny from all
  #  Allow from 127.0.0.1
     AuthName "Nagios Access"
     AuthType Basic
     AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
     Require valid-user
  </Directory>



and restarted the apache daemon to make it take effect.

I hope this helps.

If you're still having trouble, please be a bit more specific about
what you are having a problem with.

Cheers,

Jim

Thanks you Marc-Andr? for your email!

Ok but does that means that it will be impossible to eliminate all undetermined data ?
Now, I'm still in a test phase and when I'll starting Nagios in production phase, I don't like to have any zombies or unknown datas!
It isn't any solutions?

Subject: hostescalation and default contact_groups
Message-ID: <4A097D04.9030803@portachtzig.de>

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to know if the following is expected behaviour:
I created a hostescalation definition telling that a special contact
group should be notified with the first notification and now the default
contact_groups do not get notified anymore.
notification_interval is set to 0, so i cannot use first_notification
set to anything above 1.
I now added the default contact_groups (which should EVER be notified)
to the hostescalation too to get it working.
Is there any better way doing this?

thanks,
best regards,

Sebastian

Hi Simon,

Sorry, just realised that I had forgotten to reply to you.

I got Centreon working perfectly in the end. My centstorage service
wasn't running for some reason, but once it started, the graphs
started becoming populated with data as expected. I've had it running
for about 10 days now and haven't encountered any problems with it at
all.

One thing I was wondering about though, is if anyone has experience
with redundancy strategies for Centreon. With Nagios alone, it seemed
simple enough (consolidate the log files), but Centreon's database
usage makes things somewhat more complicated.

Have you got a strategy in place for synchronising your primary server
from a secondary server's database if the primary should go down for
any reason? I'll admit I haven't looked too deeply into Centreon's
schema, so I'm not sure how feasible this task is.

Cheers,
Chris

Unfortunately, I don't know a solution to this problem. Perhaps, you may generate some "fake" log files to replace the ones you erased but this is just some awkward "hack". An other way to hide this is to set the initial state of your nagios items to be OK (or UP). There is a value to put in your definition files that can force Nagios to assume the state is OK (for example) when it has no data about the object. I don't remember right now the name of the option.

Anyway, once your system will be in production, the percentage of unknown data will eventually decrease. Besides you will always have some unknown data from time to time (reboot of your serveur, etc...).

Thanks you Marc-Andr? for your email!

Ok but does that means that it will be impossible to eliminate all undetermined data ?
Now, I'm still in a test phase and when I'll starting Nagios in production phase, I don't like to have any zombies or unknown datas!
It isn't any solutions?

You need to keep all the of the .log files in (nagios)/var, the only historical data nagios stores stays in those files.

I use rsync every day to back up these files offsite, as we've got 18 months of data.

Configure notification_interval to > 0 in your host definition then
configure the host escalation only to send one escalation notification
(first_notification 2) if that's what you want.

Do you have Linux SE or AppArmor that might block access for nsca? 
Otherwise, I'm pretty much out of ideas :-(

This is because $START$ and $END$ aren't defined in commands.cfg , that
is they contain no variable data so it shows as a blank $ - if you need
to send those explicitly with no variable in your email/notification,
you will likely have to escape the $'s such as:

\$START\$ 

And 

\$END\$

Hi,

I'm facing an issue with the Nagios 1.3 version, which is not having an 
windows.cfg file in /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects to start monitoring a 
windows server CPU.
Please suggest!

Thanks,

[Disclaimer: I am not the Nagios administrator, just an end-user]

We are using DFS-R on a number of Windows servers.  Nagios is already
being used to monitor these servers (NSCLIENT++ 0.3.1).   It is possible
to schedule some tasks to run a DFSRDIAG or DFSRADMIN report on the
status of the replication folders and e-mail the results, but I am
wondering if anyone is using Nagios to monitor DFS-R and, if so, how.

You seem to be reading the nagios-3 documentation and trying to apply  
it to your much much older version.

Such a file was not included with Nagios-1.3. You can use the file  
included with nagios-3 as an example but understand that there may be  
changes needed to the definitions to deal with configuration  
differences between the two major versions. /path/to/nagios -v /path/ 
to/nagios.cfg can help you identify those if you don't read through  
the What's New documentation for nagios-2 and nagios-3. You'll almost  
certainly need to extract referenced commands{} from the nagios-3  
commands.cfg file (check_nt at least) and move them to yours if you  
don't have them as well.

You could also just read the documentation for NSClient++ (or  
whichever program you're going to run on the Windows side) to learn  
what config changes you can make.

Standard comment: The version you are using is very old. Unless there  
is some compelling reason to continue using it, and you are  
comfortable maintaining it with minimal support from the community,  
you should strongly consider upgrading.

Message-ID: <9c4cd14a0905121333m4c973f87w353bea412ee5dc69@mail.gmail.com>

The company I work for uses Trac quite heavily, and I was recently
tasked with getting Nagios up and running to replace our current
monitoring system, I was wondering if anyone had done any kind of
trac/nagios integration that would allow creation of a trac ticket
from a nagios alert?  I did some searching but didn't come up with
anything.

Disclaimers -  I don't use Trac and have only conceptually  
investigated Ticketing system integration (Remedy in our case).

This addon - https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/email2trac, appears to  
provide an e-mail interface to Trac. Since nagios can send arbitrarily  
formatted e-mails to arbitrary addresses, this seems like an easy-to- 
implement way of opening tickets at least. Updating and auto-closing  
of tickets looks more complicated as you need to know the Trac ticket  
number that was created... I don't know how you'd obtain that from the  
command line...

"redundancy strategies for Centreon"

Hi Chris,

Nothing in place yet other than daily DB dumps and daily backups of all the Nagios, Centreon and etc directories.

Last week I separated MySQL and the DB's out onto their own dedicated 64bit Ubuntu server as the single 32bit host was running out of grunt.
I am looking at duplicating both hosts with MySQL setup as master / slave across the two DB servers, but I haven't yet worked out all of the details.

One other gotcha that I fixed this morning was the php memory_limit, I have raised it from 32M to 256M. This is probably way to much but I found that 32M was randomly failing when I generate the Nagios config files. The problem has only shown up since I added another 150 monitored hosts 3 weeks ago and since I moved MySQL I have got plenty of spare memory on the main host.

Thanks,
Simon

Are you sure about the version first 1.3?
 
If it is not having a windows.cfg you can find them in quick start
guide.

Hi, 

I'm facing an issue with the Nagios 1.3 version, which is not having an

Please suggest!

Message-ID: <c4e6d5440905130049m79c2dcfald6f6f64e517e1a69@mail.gmail.com>

Hello:

We run nagios 3.0.6 with ndoutils and nagvis for host visualization. We had
some problems with our nagios server a couple of weeks ago and we believe it
is related to mysql performance, we could see that the mysql process was
consumming from 80 to 90 % of the CPU in the monitoring server at certain
times. We could solve the problem by applying a couple of indexes to the
nagios database (the one used by ndoutils) as recommended in thread:

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

Afterwords we enabled monitoring for the nagios database by using the
check_mysql_health plugin and we see that the index usage for the nagios
database is under 10%. I am not a Database Administrator but I believe this
is a very low index usage.

I would like to konw if anyone has any recommendations about database
indexes applicable to the nagios database for ndoutils/nagvis.

Any tips/hints are appreciated

//Marco

Hi all, I'm quite new using nagios and I have a little problem.
Hostgroup view show me "It appears as though you do not have permission
to view information for any of the hosts you requested" error, but
cgi.cfg and permission in webserver seem all ok. Any idea?

Cheers,

Check with the users in the cgi.cfg and the http passwd file. There must have been some permission issues.

Else you can turn off authentication, unless its explicitly necessary.

I personally added indexes on the following fields :
* servicechecks / service_object_id
* servicechecks / state
* hostcheck / host_object_id
* hostcheck / state
* objects / objecttype_id
* services / host_object_id
* statehistory / object_id
* statehistory / state_change
* statehistory / state
* statehistory / state_time
* statehistory / last_state
* hoststatus / last_hard_state
* servicestatus / last_hard_state

Some may be useless to you.

Also consider adding this to your mysql config (for example in a file
under /etc/mysql/conf.d/ ) :


  [mysqld]
  innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2


It might mean you could lose a few seconds worth of data in the event
of a crash.  Whether this matters is for you to decide.  I found this
change made a dramatic difference to the startup time for Nagios.

Cheers,

Jim

Are you an authorized contact for all hosts in that hostgroup?

I don't think you disabled authentication. I don't believe it's  
possible to see that error with authentication disabled. Did you set  
use_authentication=0 in cgi.cfg? If yes, is htaccess still enabled?

All,
   I am running nagios with ndoUtils.  Ndo has been capturing data for about
6 months.  Now I need find a good graphing utility that can be integrated
with nagios.  I am looking for graphing capability from traditional database
not rrd utility.   Can someone suggest or point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: NRPE permissions problem
Message-ID: <deb38dcd0905130517x41a75f7fo531302988ed99256@mail.gmail.com>

I have a Nagios server 3.0.6 running on Ubuntu 8.04 Server.  It is
monitoring all things fine on multiple targets except the one below.

On a certain target, I am trying to monitor my /var/log/auth.log file for
bad activity, such as failed password attempts, or attempts to login as
invalid users, etc.

I am trying to do this via the check_log plugin via nrpe, but, I get a "Log
check error: Log file /var/log/auth.log is not readable!" when the server
checks on it.

The easiest way I have to reproduce the error is the following manually
executed command from the host server:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H target -c check_badpw

I know that it means that the file cannot be opened during the check, but, I
don't understand why.

ls -l of /var/log/auth.log:
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 1590863 2009-05-12 10:47 /var/log/auth.log

In /etc/groups, I have added the "nagios" user to the adm group, so I would
think it should work.

Further, if I am logged in as root on the target, and do "su - nagios", I
can read /var/log/auth.log

Further, if I "chmod o+r /var/log/auth.log", the command executes properly.

Additionally, when I am logged into the target as root, and su to nagios and
execute the command as defined in nrpe.cfg:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_log -F /var/log/auth.log -O
/usr/local/nagios/auth.badpasswords.log -q ": Failed password for"
it works fine.

So, I know it will work if I loosen the permissions on /var/log/auth.log,
but, I'd prefer to keep them as tight as possible.

When I am logged into the target as nagios and execute "id", I get,
uid=5308(nagios) gid=5309(nagios) groups=4(adm),5309(nagios)

When I embed "id" into the check_log script, I get:
uid=5308(nagios) gid=5309(nagios)

so, it would seem that it does not inherit the groups as I would assume it
would.

More configuration information:
nrpe runs under xinetd on the target:
service nrpe
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        port            = 5666
        wait            = no
        user            = nagios
        group           = nagios
        server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
        server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
        only_from       = 127.0.0.1 x.x.x.226
}

How can I determine why the check_nrpe command does not allow for reading of
the /var/log/auth.log file on the target machine?

I'm certain this was recently discussed but my search-fu is weak this  
morning. It might have been on -devel or nagios-plugins though... I  
didn't follow closely but the gist of it (I believe) is that xinetd  
drops/ignores any secondary groups the user is a member of before  
starting the server. No secondary groups, no access in your case.  
Looking at my xinetd.conf man page, I see the following which may  
help. You may also have better search-fu than me and can find the  
original thread...

        groups           Takes  either  "yes" or "no".  If the groups  
attribute
                         is set to "yes", then  the  server  is   
executed  with
                         access  to  the groups that the server's  
effective UID
                         has access to.  If the  groups  attribute   
is  set  to
                         "no",  then  the  server  runs  with  no  
supplementary
                         groups.  This attribute must be set to "yes"  
for  many
                         BSD  systems.   This  attribute  can  be   
set  in  the
                         defaults section as well.

I don't know what example to show you. Is the user you were logged in  
as listed as a contact for all hosts in at least one hostgroup?

Yes, it was... I use the default nagios config file style: each server
use a myserver-template where is defined a contact-group where send
emails. In this contact-group there is the concact I use to log-in...

Seems right... you know?

Thank you!!!!!  That was so simple, and yet, no matter where I tried
searching, I could not come up with it!!!

It worked like a champ!

And, thanks again for the previous help ;-)

I lost localhost.cfg entry in nagios.cfg main config file. In this
situation status.cgi still print the permission error while the real
problem is the missing entry in nagios.cfg file.

    # crle -u -l /opt/csw/lib

  Hello,

  I have passed the location of gd libraries and everything went fine. But when I try to access the web interface I am able to see only home page and  I am having  the below error message for all other options.


  Internal Server Error
  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

  Please contact the server administrator, webmaster at mon.corpads.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

  More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

  And from error log I find these below errors.

    It's because the GD libs (devel) are not installed or were not found
    in standard locations. There's a FAQ entry for it but it looks like
    the FAQ is broken right now. Examine the output of ./configure or
    config.log for information and links.

    if the GD devel libraries are installed, you may need to pass their
    location to ./configure with --

    --with-gd-lib=DIR sets location of the gd library
    --with-gd-inc=DIR sets location of the gd include files

Subject: Reporting issue
Message-ID: <4A0AFE5A.4050506@gmartin.org>

We;re currently using 3.06 in Production.  We use a custom availability 
timeframe to run reports every month to report availability data to 
Mgmt.  We noticed a change in behavior over the past couple months that 
has us puzzled.  When we run an availability report for the past month 
and choose the custom report period, it reports the duration as 30 
days.  Seems logical as that is the elapsed time of the report, but in 
the past, nagios would calculate that duration as the maximum 
availability based on the custom timeperiod we used to generate the report.

To make this a bit clearer, if our Production time was 18 hrs/day M-F 
and we defined that as Corp_Prod and we ran the report against it for, 
say, April 09.  Nagios would have reported the Duration as 396 hours 
(22days x 18hrs/day). 

However, in recent months we're noticing that Nagios report the calendar 
duration of the report with no regard for the customer timeperiod.

Any ideas whether something has changed or if we're doing something wrong?

Thanks

\\Greg

I read through and followed Wolfgang Barth's "Nagios 2nd Edition" for my 
Nagios 3/x install. Its been extremely helpful and covers lots of 
options. For graphing, it covered multiple options with reasons for 
each, including Nagiosgraph, Perf2rrd, drraw, NagiosGrapher, and PNP. 
After reading about them all and and such, I decided on PNP (pnp4nagios) 
as it was the best mix of ease of installation combined with 
functionality. Most that were easy to install were also somewhat 
limited. Those that were unlimited in scope were also difficult to 
install. pnp4nagios struck a good balance between both. There were some 
tweaks to make, though, so for this reason I recommend pnp4nagios but I 
also recommend Nagios 2nd Edition as it has all the changes and caveats 
covered.

Subject: Service escalations registering, but not enforcing
Message-ID: <4A0B1EA1.5000305@physics.ucsd.edu>

Hello,
I'm having an issue i have not been able to resolve.  I'm using nagios 
3.0.4 and have a ton of service escalations defined, however they do not 
seem to be enforced.  I've also noticed, that while i've defined all of 
my services to use the generic-service template (which by default, has a 
notification_interval set to 60) i receive notifications every 30 
minutes despite the generic-service definition and escalations. 

My services.cfg:  http://dpaste.com/43794/
My templates.cfg: http://dpaste.com/43795/

If i run nagios -v nagios.cfg my output looks like:



Nagios 3.0.4

So nagios can clearly see my service escalations.  So is there any 
apparent reason why my service escalations are not enforced?  And also, 
is there any apparent reason why my notification_interval is enforced as 
30 minutes, when it is set to 60 in templates.cfg?  Any 
help/input/ridicule would be greatly appreciated, as if i don't come up 
with a solution, i'm just going to trash this install and use nagios 2.x

Thanks,
Bruce

So i've also tested this problem with host escalations, and i have seen 
the same behavior.  Despite whatever settings i put into my host 
escalations, or my host definitions, i'm still receiving notifications 
every 30 minutes, any ideas?

Message-ID: <872CB0AEB377C240A112DD7C10B2592904B215FA@wtps0171.amers.ibechtel.com>

Hi All, 

Can someone help me understand the best way to assign contacts to hosts
en masse?  In version 1.x, we would create a hostgroup put the hosts
that we needed in it and then assign a contact group to that hostgroup,
done deal.  Now it appears that under Nagios 3 to accomplish the same
thing I have to create the hostgroup as before and then go to each host
and assign a contact or contact group to it.  That's much more tedious
than the old way, am I missing something?  Please tell me there's an
easier way that I'm overlooking.

I found this in the what's new in Nagios 2 doc's
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html):

Contact group changes - The contact_groups directive has been moved from
hostgroup definitions to host definitions <xodtemplate.html> . This was
done in order to maintain consistency with the way service contacts are
specified. Make sure to update your config files! 

Thanks, 

-greg

First, I'd rebuild a new linux server to run it on and get the latest
version running, even if it's only checking localhost and emailing me.

Examine very closely *all* old config files, figure out your old
installation and what checks will replace (if necessary) the older ones
from nagios-plugins standard programs, or if you  may need custom
plugins from nagiosexchange.org

Slowly rebuild the old configuration into the new, testing (and
improving/learning) as you go.

(that's just me though). ;)

Cheers,
jamie

Create a host template and assign your contacts there.

If you need to *override* contacts inherited from the template, do it in 
the host declaration itself like you would normally do. Exemple:

define host {
   address                 127.0.0.1
   alias                   localhost
   contacts                just_this_one
   host_name               localhost
   use                     generic-host
}

If you need to *add* contacts to the list of contacts already inherited 
from the template, add a "+" in front of the list of contacts in the 
host declaration. Example:

define host {
   address                 127.0.0.1
   alias                   localhost
   contacts                +oh_and_add_this_one_too
   host_name               localhost
   use                     generic-host
}

Hi all,
   I've been using nagios for a while, and we're needing to perform  
more active testing on our site than simply HTTP GET and POST  
operations.  I'm looking for a plugin to Nagios that can execute steps  
and report that assertions passed or failed.  I took at look at web  
inject, but we can only use it on a handful of our pages as Javascript  
isn't supported.  A lot of our pages update using Prototype and  
dynamic lists, so this won't allow us to create all the transactions  
we want.  Does anyone know of anything that can use xulrunner to load  
the firefox engine and report back to nagios?

Thanks,


todd

Hi,
It proboly is 1.3 if there is no windows config file.

Nagios 1.X did not have a windows config. that was added in either Nagios
2.X or 3.X.
but basically it is just a regular config file that sets up a few templets.
for monitoring a windows system.
I Do not recomend using it, PROVIDED you read the Windows section of the 3.X
manual since it lays out how to monitor a windows system.

one way to go is to take a look at selenium and write a wrapper plugin

I believe WebInject is often used for this, but haven't tried it myself (yet).

Me too :-)  I took that approach moving from 2.7 to 3.0.  It took a
while with 1700 or so hosts, but I feel the effort was worth it as
I've been able to take advantage of most of the new features in Nagios
3 and tidy up my config in the process.  I also took the opportunity
to move to Ubuntu LTS so hopefully I won't need to do a Linux upgrade
for a while.

I recommend maybe getting hold of one of the recent published books on
Nagios 3.  "Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring" published by
Syngress has a comprehensive section on what's new in Nagios 3 which I
found invaluable.  Otherwise I always highly recommend "Nagios" by
Wolfgang Barth 2nd Ed. published by NoStarch Press.

Cheers,

Jim

Did you change interval_length in nagios.cfg to be 0.5?
Do you see the expected value for notification_interval in  
objects.cache?
Do you have multiple nagios daemons running at the same time?

Subject: retained_service_attribute_mask and other alike
	config options : do they really work ??
Message-ID: <EA04FF699CD5274E9EC52CB5EC05087002149A41@DIODON.extra.cea.fr>

Hi,

 

I'm facing a strange problem.

 

I have in my definitions services for which notifications are disabled :
I'm still running those services on all nodes because it gives me
indication something went wrong on all nodes.

I recently had to suppress notifications for all services of a
hostgroups because of a general failure on those hosts, and problem is
that when I used the nagios CGIs to re-enable the service notifications,
notifications for those services I really don't want any notification
got enabled too... and I had to disable all those notifications in that
hostgroup again using the CGIs (I hope you follow).

 

So now I'm wondering how could I fix the situation, and restore things
to normal (i.e : according to services config file) without loosing all
services current state.

I just tried to use the following in my nagios 3.1 config file.

 

retained_service_attribute_mask=1

retained_process_service_attribute_mask=1

 

Tried that, because it looks like the correct value to use according to
include/common.h is :

#define MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED           1

 

(by the way : what's the real difference between those 2 variables ? I
can't understand the real difference reading the documentation)

Anyway : this didn't work. Services are still disabled on restart or
reload.

 

I then tried this :

retained_service_attribute_mask=MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED

retained_process_service_attribute_mask=MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED

 

I know values are wrong, but nothing prevented nagios from restarting.
And off course it still didn't work, services notifications are still
disabled.

So what ?

Are these configuration option really implemented ?

I'm trying to look into the code, and I don't see anywhere the values
defined in the code being used :

 

nagios-3.1.0]$ grep -r retained_service_attribute_mask *

base/nagios.c:unsigned long   retained_service_attribute_mask=0L;

base/utils.c:extern unsigned long retained_service_attribute_mask;

base/utils.c:   retained_service_attribute_mask=0L;

base/config.c:extern unsigned long retained_service_attribute_mask;

base/config.c:          else
if(!strcmp(variable,"retained_service_attribute_mask"))

base/config.c:
retained_service_attribute_mask=strtoul(value,NULL,0);

 

(and then, only html files)

 

...

 

So the C variable wouldn't be used at all ?

Am I missing something ?

Thanks && regards

There's no easy-to-follow document for this migration that I know of.  
You're likely to find much discussion of the 1.x -> 2.x migration and  
2.x -> 3.x  in the archives but you'll need to go pretty far back (4-5  
years for migration to 2.x).

My suggestion would be install the base nagios-3 software, configure  
nagios.cfg, resource.cfg and cgi.cfg by reading through them and  
setting appropriate values; most should be the same as your current  
install. Then to move your actual host and service definitions, read  
the What's New and Changelog for nagios-2 and make the changes noted  
there (mostly to object definitions and macros), then the same for  
nagios-3.

I?m searching for NRPE-Plugins for Linux / AIX including Performance Data.
Are there any plugins out there? I have found some modified for Windows but
not for Linux.

 

 

Thank you

A bit of creative scripting could make this work, if you deem it worth 
the time. You'd need to look at either your notification commands or 
some kind of event handlers. I tend to write event handlers for 
reactionary stuff like this, as I think it's the better choice.

Don't know of anything that is ready made to do it off the top of my 
head. I use Trac, but again it's not that important compared to 
everything else I do, so I haven't bothered with this as I find the 
ticket bureaucracy slows me down.

You'll find most of what you need on Monitoring Exchange.  In
particular for AIX 5.3, look at
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1438.html;d=1

The plugins for nrpe are the same as the ones you would use for Nagios
itself - you just need to make sure they're compiled to run on
whatever the target architecture is (which IME is easier said than
done on AIX!).

Cheers,

Jim

Yes, you'll find various plugins for AIX on Monitoring Exchange.  In
particular you'll find nrpe and various compiled plugins for AIX 5.3

Subject: Different configurations for backup times
Message-ID: <20090514130739.GG5702@arvo.suso.org>


  Hi, I recently reconfigured my nagios setup to monitor a lot more
things on my servers and its mostly working ok, but I'm running into
issues where I'm getting tons of notifictions during times that backups
are running.  Which is overnight of course.  The notifications happen
because the load on each machine will go up and sometimes a TCP
connection will fail for a few minutes.  I realize that this is really a
problem I need to deal with on my servers and I'm working on that too,
but I was wondering how I could tell nagios to be less agreesive
overnight. 

 From reading docs and looking at configuration files, I can only see
that I'd need to duplicate all my host and service entries so that they
notify a different contact group that has a different contact schedule.
Is this right or is there another better way?

Hi,

I have a productive Nagios instance with 200 clients and 1200 Services.

PNP4Nagios is also installed and working.

Actually everything is working just fine, except the machine has a 75-100% CPU Load, although I have already tweaked around the settings.

I want Nagios to have a mysql backend on another server so that the CPU Load decreases as other (also critical) services are currently running on this machine, which are starting to show errors.

Question is:

- How do I migrate the existing performance data to the mysql database (I have very little knowledge of databases)

- What is the command to send the performance data to the mysql database

- PNP4Nagios: How do I tell PNP4Nagios to pull its performance data from the mysql database


I have found very little information about this, so any help is greatly appreciated.


Regards,

Harald

You can't unless you are already logging performance data into mysql.
Nagios itself does not log performance data at all.

> - What is the command to send the performance data to the mysql database

Use the NDO Utils. Google is your friend.
Otherwise you need to dump the RRD databases of PNP and import
that into mysql with a script - but that script you need to write
yourself I guess.

> - PNP4Nagios: How do I tell PNP4Nagios to pull its performance data

You can't. PNP4Nagios stores its data in RRD databases. There is no
way to push it into a mysql DB and on the other hand, it wouldn't make
sense either for PNP.

> I have found very little information about this, so any help is 
> greatly appreciated.

I guess that's mainly since you misunderstood something. Nagios
naturally doesn't have the need a mysql backend. Nagios does have the
NDO Utils, which store realtime and historical data in a mysql DB, but
that's only for third-party applications that need that data. Mainly
there is nagiosgrapher and nagvis, maybe NagiosBP.

On a sidenote: it's a bad, bad idea to have critical services
running on your monitoring server. Service monitoring is always
stressing the machine when your installation is not exactly small
and you check often.

Conclusions:

- get a bigger server
- get faster storage
- move the other services from your nagios server

For some reason, it's taking longer than 5 seconds for /bin/mv to  
finish. Is the box heavily loaded (top, etc)? Are the disks

The box does indeed have some load on it... hence my other "performance 
tuning" request to the list. At present, its running Nagios, mySQL, and 
Cacti with Cacti polling approx 1500 devices every 5 minutes. Its a 
fairly good server, but the disk I/O has been problematic on occasion. I 
think I'll up the timeout to 30 seconds and watch the load.

Subject: Concise list of best overall performance tweaks
Message-ID: <4A0C1DB4.1020004@gmail.com>

If running the latest version(s) of Nagios and the plugins, using mysql, 
and gathering trending info, is there a list available of the best 
performance tweaks one can make? I seem to read a lot that mySQL is a 
resource whore when also on the Nagios server. Some have commented on 
seeing significant increases when moving it elsewhere. Others have 
mentioned adding lines like "innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2" into 
the mysql config file, while others have also mentioned database 
indexes, etc. Of course, for non-DBA's, knowing which databases to 
create indexes on (or how to do it without mucking it up) are up for 
debate. Log file rotation is always a good one, but this seems to be 
built into Nagios 3.x, though I've read of people running Cacti on their 
Nagios server as well and Cacti has no default log rotation. So... 
perhaps everyone could include the steps they took to resolve various 
performance issues... perhaps also including the actual steps taken (ie: 
if making indexes, which ones and why) and we can cull them into the 
Nagios wiki on NagiosExchange?

75-100% cpu load isn't necessarily bad. What's the load average and  
specs for the box? What do you see in top using the CPU the most/most  
often? With 1200 services and assuming checks every 5 minutes, any  
machine in the last decade should be able to handle that. Are you sure  
it's nagios that's the problem?

This won't help since nagios doesn't use a mysql backend. If you add  
NDOUtils to do this, it's only adding processing, not replacing any  
processing.

You'd have to dump all the RRD databases (man rrddump), munge that  
data and insert it into the DB. It won't help though because of (3)  
below...

This is complex and beyond the scope of this list. It's also pretty  
much unrelated to nagios. It won't help though because...

PNP4Nagios doesn't appear to support storing or reading performance  
data from a database.

Plus, for what its worth, on most systems these days you can move an HD 
to another system with more CPU/RAM which would negate the muck up all 
the Nagios stuff.

Virtualization is an alternative as well. We run Nagios and Cacti on one 
server and four instances of Splunk on four other servers. Last month, 
we used VMWare's P2V tool to make all five physical servers virtual, 
then moved them to a a Sun X4100 running ESXi. The only cost was the 
server. The overall load of each individual virtual server is under 50% 
and the ESXi box itself is sitting at only 30% load.

If disk space is an issue, another alternative is to clone the HD(s), 
then perhaps move to another server (in the case of going to IDE or SATA 
to SAS or SCSI, this is likely a must).

Message-ID: <8D7FBE84E6014208BB86A6F56D09E4FF@ap872c3fe40484>

I had a similar problem with my backups, as they looked like a disk problem 
to the nagios plugin.  I turn off notifications before the backup:

/usr/bin/su - nagios -c /usr/local/bin/wget --quiet -O - --post-data 
'cmd_typ=23&cmd_mod=2&host=yourhost&service=yourservice&btnSubmit=Commit' 
http://nagioserver/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi

and then turn them back on when it is done:

+ /usr/bin/su - nagios -c /usr/local/bin/wget --quiet -O - --post-data 
'cmd_typ=22&cmd_mod=2&host=yourhost&service=yourservice&btnSubmit=Commit' 
http://nagiosserver/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi

password is stored in .wgetrc

The other advantage of this is that the backup time can vary, and you don't 
have to change anything on the Nagios server.  The client knows best when it 
is running a backup.

Subject: Distributed and Redondant Nagios
Message-ID: <68ef8b500905140954l53ea7028rcf121b3f813e1954@mail.gmail.com>

Good Afternoon,

I search documentations, best practice or write book in order to set-up a
monitoring system with Nagios in 4 Datacenter.

Actually I think i will deploy 2 Nagios Daemon as Master (they will received
event states with ncsa, all the services will be declared in passive mode)
in two datacenter and 4 Nagios as collector. They will execute commands and
send events to Master Nagios.

Actually I would like to know :

- How the two master daemon can be redondant ? (active / active) (active /
passive) How to share state in real time between the two ?

- When the link between a master and collector Nagios is lost or a collector
Nagios is Lost. I would like the master nagios exectute checks. but the
parents hosts are not the sames becauses these two nagios are not in the
same Network / DC. I don't know how can I solve this.

In a other way I would like to have all my configuration in a database in
order to have the possibility of regeneration configuration, and simplify
management After many search I'havent find tools or software wich allow this
kind of architecture, with multiple master or collector. Provide all
parameters of definitions services and hosts and provide differents view on
collectors and Master

Thnks for your answers,

Regards

Thank you Marc and Sasha for the feedback. It is now clear to me that no
mysql backend is needed to decrease CPU Load.

Thanks for the tips on PNP4Nagios. 

To answer some of your questions:

- System Load is 3.5 on the 15 min counter.
- System specs:
Its a VM running on a DL585 with 32GB of RAM. 4 Opteron Processors. The
VM is currently 32-bit and is assigned 2 processors and 3,6GB RAM.
We have other low-demainding VMs running on the same machine.
- Top is always Nagios:
 4641 nagios    25   5 21684  10m 2440 S   15  0.3   2688:24 nagios3
15%CPU - 0.3 RAM
- Checks are every 5 mins
- I am certain Nagios is not the main problem, but I am currently
looking into lowering System Load/CPU usage.

The other Services we have currently running on the same machine have
very much to do with monitoring and the idea was to place them all in
one. Bosses love the word "centralized".

Anyway, I got the answers I needed.

Kindest regards to all,

Harald

75-100% cpu load isn't necessarily bad. What's the load average and  
specs for the box? What do you see in top using the CPU the most/most  
often? With 1200 services and assuming checks every 5 minutes, any  
machine in the last decade should be able to handle that. Are you sure  
it's nagios that's the problem?

This won't help since nagios doesn't use a mysql backend. If you add  
NDOUtils to do this, it's only adding processing, not replacing any  
processing.

You'd have to dump all the RRD databases (man rrddump), munge that  
data and insert it into the DB. It won't help though because of (3)  
below...

This is complex and beyond the scope of this list. It's also pretty  
much unrelated to nagios. It won't help though because...

PNP4Nagios doesn't appear to support storing or reading performance  
data from a database.

Can anyone tell me the benifits/features in the Nagios version 3 when we 
compared to version 1.3. 
I know the latest version is always better but, Just trying to see if it's 
worth the effort.

Hello,

I'm trying to monitor SAP and it's enough for my purposes to log in
using username and password to declare system to be running. I don;t
want to run CCMS on SAP machine.

I've reached "first step"
I have command definition in commands.cfg:

    command_line	$USER1$/check_sap_cons $ARG1$ $ARG2$


and service definition in localhost.cfg:

    check_command	check_sap_cons!BCE BCE

Well, when I run the adequate command from command line, I'm getting
message:

No information gathered! system up?

The same status is in HTML outup screen:

SAP1	CRITICAL 	05-14-2009 21:11:04 	0d 0h 58m 42s 	4/4 	No information
gathered! System up?


The result is, that system is announced as not running.

Is there any possibility to get OK status so the system looks like
OK runnig... or so?

Without CCMS?

THANK YOU

	Ales

Message-ID: <699b436a0905141202x3e666d85jc59c4e1a59597f89@mail.gmail.com>

 Hey Folks,

I know " socket timeout after 20 sec" has been discussed so many time in all
the forums and post, but still this is not so clear to me.

Nagios server : RHEL 5

NC_NET used on Windows server.

In startup.cfg the port is 12489 and the ip_passive is ip address of the
nagios server.

Even through the Linux cli i get the same error

./check_nt -H <ip_windows_server> -v FREEDISKSPACE -l C -w 80 -c 90 -p 1248
-t 50
CRITICAL - socket timeout after 50 sec

I really have been breaking my head on this. Please suggest some idea or
your experience

If you're asking this question, you should upgrade. It's telling that  
you do not know how to find this out yourself ;) . For no other  
reason, the longer you wait --
	- the more capable you must be to support yourself. There are likely  
to be few people here that used 1.3, let alone remember specific  
details about it to help support you. The longer you wait, the fewer  
there are.
	- the more difficult it will become to convert your existing system  
to the new version. There are required configuration changes for each  
version. The greater the difference between versions, the more complex  
it becomes.

If your comfortable with those, then in brief--
	- Bug fixes too numerous to count
	- Significant performance improvements, especially for larger sites.
	- Active host checks are no longer detrimental (but still aren't  
required)
	- Multi-line plugin output is supported
	- much improved timeperiod definitions/flexibility
	- Native DB support dropped
	- Event Broker API added
	- Regex support within config files.

For a more complete list, see the 'What's New' documentation for each  
version at http://www.nagios.org/docs/ (click the HTML link for each  
version).

There is a firewall blocking the traffic somewhere along the way, or you
have managed to build a cyclic token-ring network (if you don't know what
those are, consider yourself lucky and look over your firewalls).

I'm too young to remember version 1.3!

> worth the effort.

Where can I start??

Here's my personal favourite features of 3 over 2 :

Templates, inheritance and suchlike are a whole lot better in 3, so
you can create a much leaner set of config files.  Especially you no
longer need to specify seperate hostextinfo and serviceextinfo
definitions.  This for me has halved the time it takes to add new
hosts & services in many cases.

A huge difference is that host checks can now be run in parallel.
This for me means Nagios can cope okay during a major outage (although
I'm pleased to report we haven't had any of those since I upgraded to
3 except planned ones).

There are lots of other diferences, but those are the ones which have
made the biggest difference to me.

Another thing well worth noting is that there are lots of really great
add-ons for Nagios and you won't be able to try most of them unless
you upgrade.  IMO, PNP is an absolutely must-have and is just
oh-so-easy to install.  It gets even better when combined with DRRAW.
NagVis is absolutely brilliant for doing dashboards (if that's what
you want).  NexSM is a great replacement for the network map -
especially if you have more than a couple of dozen hosts.

And lastly, now that you know how brilliant Nagios 3 (with addons) is,
if you don't upgrade then everyone here will question your sanity!
:-)

hth,

Jim

Try opening a telnet session to that port (to test the firewall theory)
telnet <ip_windows_server> 1248

you should get:
Trying <ip address>
Connected to <ip address>.
Escape Character is '^\]'.


Then Ctl-C to exit out of it (if your in linux that's what it looks like)

50 Seconds is pretty long.  I have a server that is monitored by nagios,
2000+ miles away and 14 traceroute hops.  It was taking longer than 20
seconds, so I set it to 60 seconds, and it takes ~30seconds..so I just
doubled in case of network latency.

There is a firewall blocking the traffic somewhere along the way, or you
have managed to build a cyclic token-ring network (if you don't know what
those are, consider yourself lucky and look over your firewalls).

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.
