When you set the mask to 0, you essentially tell it to not let anything through.

I removed it completely and replaced the functionality with the '--only' option. To get the same behaviour in Nagios as before, replace the command in your Nagios config from (example): check_openmanage_cpu to this: check_openmanage --only cpu You can also mimic the symlink stuff with little shell wrappers: $ cat ./check_openmanage_cpu #!/bin/sh exec /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_openmanage --only cpu $* Example run: $ ./check_openmanage_cpu -H login1 PROCESSORS OK - 2 processors checked Cheers, -- Trond H.

Maybe daylight savings related? At about 11pm, all the services were scheduled for 11pm the following day. I figured it was something I did wrong. I noticed that "next_check" time in /var/log/nagios/retention.dat was wrong. I renamed the file and restarted nagios. It worked fine after that. I using version 3.2.

I'm looking at my hosts and of 85 of them, 82 was last checked about 11pm Sunday and the next scheduled check is 11pm Monday (about 90 min from now). I also have a number of services that are not scheduled to be checked again until 11pm. Most host and service checks are 5 min; some are 15/60 min. I'm not using NagioSQL. For example, here is one of my free space checks that should run every 15 min. Current Status: OK (for 31d 8h 26m 23s) Status Information:DISK OK - free space: / 1532 MB (80% inode=95%): Performance Data:/=379MB;1813;1914;0;2015 Current Attempt:1/3 (HARD state) Last Check Time:11-01-2009 22:52:06 Check Type:ACTIVE Check Latency / Duration:0.147 / 0.057 seconds Next Scheduled Check: 11-02-2009 23:00:00 From: Les Fenison [mailto:les at deltatechnicalservices.com] Sent: Monday, November 02, 2009 9:09 PM To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services! I had nagios working great. Checking 6 hosts and about 85 services. Then suddenly, all services on all hosts except one stopped checking.

I am using a gui NagioSQL to edit my configuration files so I suspect it did something to me but I have no clue where to look except where I have already looked. What can cause nagios to just stop checking everything like that or to randomly switch to every 24 hours rather than the configured every 5 minutes?

Gonna change the servers to UTC time zone, which they should have been in in the first place (I like servers to always be in UTC). I thought it had been a couple days since it had been checking, but I could be wrong about that. Date might also have been off on the servers - I just set up NTP clients on them today. > My fix is to go click on each service one by one and reschedule. > Then they start checking normally again.

Better would be for the software to be fixed (and upgraded). Or you could change the server timezone to UTC. You /could/ do what I did, and force service checking on all your hosts by echoing a line for each host into nagios.cmd. See here: http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=130 I'm not sure if that includes the effect of this one with it: http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=128 I just did it for one host, saw the orphan messages, then did rm of retention.dat to fix all the rest.

I just joined this list over the same problem with 3.2.0. Nagios was showing all green (got 95 services across 12 hosts), then when I went to demo it to my boss who just got back from vacation, I killed a box, and was surprised to see Nagios continue showing green. When I looked in detail I saw that the checks had actually not been running in days... I restarted Nagios a number of times to no avail. I finally echoed a force check into the nagios.cmd file for a host, and got a lot of messages about how the services seemed orphaned. I do have the check for orphans config option enabled (99% of my nagios.cfg is default). I was finally able to get Nagios fixed by stopping it, removing retention.dat, and starting it again. But I don't really want to disable retention unless I have to... I was thinking this might have something to do with my failover setup (though I don't see why). I have two boxes in a Heartbeat+DRBD configuration, with Nagios (and all it's configuration, /var files, etc.) on the DRBD partition. It /seems/ to failover just fine. After seeing this, I tested failing over back and forth about a dozen times and Nagios did not seem to get hung up in the same way, so I don't understand what caused this. Maybe we have the same problem? On Nov 2, 2009, at 9:08 PM, Les Fenison wrote: > I had nagios working great. Checking 6 hosts and about 85 > services.

See here: > http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=130 The other important thing to setup now, while you are thinking about it, is a sanity check for the Nagios service check frequency. This is much more important in distributed environments, but can be helpful at times like these. We're pulling a little over 600 checks per minute total from two distributed nodes, and I have a simple (hackish) perl script that scans through the log file looking for 'EXTERNAL COMMAND' in the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. It outputs perfdata, so pnp4nagios picks it up, and I have the warning and critical thresholds set ptetty low. That script is setup as a check command against the front end nodes. I even have pretty graphs now that tell me how many checks I'm doing on average, and how often someone bumps the queue repeatedly force- rechecking a host. -- Breandan Dezendorf breandan at dezendorf.com bwdezend at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We use Nagios 3.0.6, but I had just setup an upgrade to 3.2.0. From what I could see, my distributed nodes had been sending data just fine for 45 minutes or so. When I double-checked the performance graphs just before retiring for the night I saw no data coming in. When I traced this back to the distributed nodes, their scheduling queue showed no checks scheduled until well into the next day. We have some checks that run as frequently as every minute. I assumed this was a weird bug with 3.2.0, panicked and went back to 3.0.6 a little after midnight and things have been fine ever since. I was going to spend more time observing 3.2.0 in a more contained environment to see if this was normal behavior. My timing (checks stopping around 11pm Sunday night) sounds the same so perhaps it's not just my imagination. One thing that bothered me a bit was that I didn't see messages in the central servers indicating that it was marking service checks as stale and checking automatically. I saw no stale messages in the log and it should have been well past the freshness thresholds of most checks. As I say, it was late and I decided to roll back before I investigated. I've got thousands of service checks so forcing rescheduling wouldn't work for me.

Andy Howell wrote: Les Fenison wrote: I had nagios working great. Checking 6 hosts and about 85 services. Then suddenly, all services on all hosts except one stopped checking. The next scheduled check is about 24 hours from the last check. I had been checking every 5 minutes. Restarting nagios didn't help. I am using a gui NagioSQL to edit my configuration files so I suspect it did something to me but I have no clue where to look except where I have already looked. What can cause nagios to just stop checking everything like that or to randomly switch to every 24 hours rather than the configured every 5 minutes? I am having to manually do force checks to get it to check. Here are some things I have checked... Hosts check_interval is 5, retry_interval is 1 Services check_interval is 10, retry_interval is 2 So where could Nagios be getting the idea that it is suppose to be every 24 hours? I had the same experience yesterday. Maybe daylight savings related? At about 11pm, all the services were scheduled for 11pm the following day. I figured it was something I did wrong. I noticed that "next_check" time in /var/log/nagios/retention.dat was wrong. I renamed the file and restarted nagios. It worked fine after that. I using version 3.2.

Message-ID: I have set my office hours & this part is working correctly. Email alerts are 24/7 & SmS alerts are from 7am to 9am & then from 7pm till 12pm. Can Nagios be configured so that if a problem happens at 2am it will send an SmS alert at 7. The problem I had last night is one of my drives run out of space quite quickly. I got the email alerts as expected. But there was no SmS alert, because SmS alerting wont start till 7am. I have thought about changing the alerting frequency to every hour, but this will become counter productive because due to the number emails that could possibly be generated. I'm wondering if I missed this part in the manual lol :) PeaceLien _________________________________________________________________ New Windows 7: Find the right PC for you.

As you are probably aware, this change has caused the DST bug that has affected a lot of users of Nagios 3.2.0. I have only reverted one instance of the tm_isdst field, which was specifically causing the rescheduling problem. There is a testcase in HEAD ( download from http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/cvs/nagios-HEAD.tar.gz && ./configure --enable-libtap && make all && make test) which tests the DST bug (see t-tap/check_timeperiods.c). However, I think some of the other isdst settings maybe causing other bugs, though I'm not sure. It would be helpful if you could add some test for the problem you have fixed, to prove that the functionality you expect continues to work. I'd be happy to apply to CVS if you have an updated check_timeperiods.c file. Ton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

SMS from earlier than 7am should be sent *at* 7am and not at 7:15 or 7:30 or .. . it shouldn't be necessary to implement this as a 1/minute check sending thousands of emails between 3am and 7am.

In this case I would recommend setting up a few escalation definitions and using the optional escalation_period directive to apply them to different time periods. So you'd have one escalation definition (with interval etc) for the night, one for morning + evening and one for normal hours. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html for more info on this. Using escalations in this way also lets you for example have a group of "critical" servers/services that will spam you via SMS if they're down, and have everything else go to your normal email box.

The mask values you refer to are already set to the defaults (they're all 0's). I've never touched those or paid much attention to them until now. I'm actually confused by 2 aspects of this. It seems to me that the thing I'm trying to retain across a restart are soft check states (those are what are being reset). Looking at the MODATTR arguments in include/common.h (3.0.6) I don't see which of those attributes would govern this. There's the *ENABLED attributes which really aren't changing here (and are retained). All the other MODATTR's are (it seems to me) not changing in this case either. The second thing that confuses me here is the verbage used to describe the mask functionality: # RETAINED ATTRIBUTE MASKS (ADVANCED FEATURE) # The following variables are used to specify specific host and # service attributes that should *not* be retained by Nagios during # program restarts. So if MODATTR is set to none, based on the comment doesn't this mean that "NONE" of the attributes are NOT retained? I.e. all are retained (double-negative)? The on-line doc for these masks say "By default, all host and service attributes are retained." I do get masks, I just didn't see how these applied here. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Have you checked that state_retention_file is updated when Nagios runs, that you're not close to capacity of the disk or that something basic like that is going on? Open up the file and grab the definition for the service in question, see what values are being saved.

The default notification commands work for the majority of users for the majority of use cases. For special cases, such as yours, it's trivial to drop in your own notification script. You just need to write that logic into it. I would.... have it grab the notifications and determine if it should be queued or not. Those that should get written to a file. At 7am, a second script parses that file and sends all the notifications. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Just to be clear, I'm not looking at queueing large numbers of messages, ideally just one. It could be implemented as a duplicate test with check_interval 7am-7:10am, but I'm not sure if that's best either. > ... as Martin Melin indicates, this is best done by your notification Problem is, it should only notify at 7am if the thing is still broken. I'll eventually see a notification by mail to root, but if a 3am problem resolves itself at 3:30, it'll just cause confusion if there's a dynamic "sleep 4h" command sendings texts hours later.

These two checks are both default definition. In my case, I just disabled the PING service. AJay - nagios beginner ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "Khanh Truong"; Date: Wed, Nov 4, 2009 07:55 AM To: "nagios-users"; Subject: [Nagios-users] check-host-alive and ping service check Hi, I noticed that the check-host-alive and the PING service are the same checks. This unecessarily creates double checks and duplicate rrd data if you have both of them on. But the dashboard views are better when you have both of them so my question is... how can I consolidate these two checks so that either the PING uses the check-host-alive data or the check-host-alive uses the PING's data and checks?

I just tested disabling notifications for a check, but I guess based on my retention_update_interval I won't see the retention.dat file change for another 40 minutes. Nagios monitors the filesystem itself (ie. Nagios watches itself), but the filesystem it resides on is at 35% with 12GB free. If there were a problem with that or some other essential operation of Nagios, I think I'd see some other problem. In this case, I think an unusual set of circumstances were at play -- I was restarting Nagios every few minutes while a host was in the process of failing host checks as reported by the distributed nodes. Never seen that before, but also probably never happened to do it that way either. Looking at this item in retention.dat (it's a host check that we had this issue with, not a service check). This might not be all that useful as this issue isn't happening at the moment. At present, I see the following of interest last_state=0 last_hard_state=0 current_attempt=1 max_attempts=10 state_history=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 I assume perhaps that "last_state" might mean last soft state. It would be interesting to see this value if I could find a practical way to replicate this condition. I would also expect current_attempt to be higher than 1 and the state_history to show some non-OK states while this issue was happening. As I say, I'd have to see these values while this was changing.

The guys I work with get a royal beating if they turn stuff off, when there are things like acknowledgements and downtimes that will expire themselves and save you from the inevitable "something broke while we forgot we had the monitoring turned off." If you have a check you only want done periodically, and know generally how often you want to check, set up a suitable check interval. Likewise, if you want a check to just shut up for a while, put it in downtime, and have the downtime expire at around the same time you think you'd like to check it again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I have been able to get Nagios up and running thanks to some outstanding community help, especially Lyle Giese (cheers for all of your time) . My issue is with getting MRTG up and running. I have attempted to install MRTG on my server (by the tutorial here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/linux/docs/uniqlinuxfeatures/mrtg/mrtgconi fg.php ) The webpage where it says it should be running is: http://onlinebackup.xmanhosting.com.au/mymrtg/ I assume that this is the standard page, untill some more configuration occurs. Would someone be able to lead me in the right direction as to what comes next? I am basically looking to monitor bandwidth usage using Nagios. In Nagios, it says: check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file I cannot find a log file anywhere on my server. In the switch.cfg file, it says: # Monitor bandwidth via MRTG logs define service{ use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template host_name Billion service_description Port 1 Bandwidth Usage check_command check_local_mrtgtraf!/var/lib/mrtg/192.168.1.253_1.log!AVG!1000000,1000000!5 000000,5000000!10 } There is no log file in /var/lib/mrtg/ - there is only a file called mrtg.ok , which is an empty page. In etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg , it also says: LogDir: /var/lib/mrtg Is someone able to assist me in some way from here? Thanks for any help.

I currently have v2.7 running on another machine and have imported my config to the 3.2 server using NagiosQL. So far almost everything works, but I'm having a problem with any commands which use the "check_http" option. We have a number of web applications which I'm checking with various custom commands. These commands usually check a specific javascript page on the target server which queries the site's database back end and returns "OK" if everything is working (this lets me ensure that the webserver is able to access the database as well as serve web requests). My command syntax is: ./check_http -H -S -u '' -s OK -w 20 -c 30 -t 40 This works completely fine on my 2.7 server, but always returns "Connection refused HTTP CRITICAL - Unable to open TCP socket" when run from the 3.2 server against the same target.

The most likely cause I can think of would be a routing misconfiguration on the new box.

We really don't have enough information to do anything but guess. An educated one would be that there doesn't appear to be a daemon listing on port 80 on . My speculation is either that the command definitions are different between the two versions (or your test) or the -H parameter is different between them (i.e. define host { address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx } is different or the macro you're using in the command definitions is different.) You could also have a firewall preventing that connection but you don't mention it being present. At the very least you're trying to connect via SSL (-S) to port 80 (HTTP), which is extremely unusual. Is that a special server configuration you've created?

We really don't have enough information to do anything but guess. An educated one would be that there doesn't appear to be a daemon listing on port 80 on . My speculation is either that the command definitions are different between the two versions (or your test) or the -H parameter is different between them (i.e. define host { address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx } is different or the macro you're using in the command definitions is different.) You could also have a firewall preventing that connection but you don't mention it being present. At the very least you're trying to connect via SSL (-S) to port 80 (HTTP), which is extremely unusual. Is that a special server configuration you've created?

It has no command_name. I'm surprised that nagios starts with this configuration (does it really?) You appear to be missing a few fundamental concepts. I recommend reading the documentation but generally -- - host and service definitions reference command definition via the check_command parameter. Nagios looks at the command_line for the command definition with that command_name to determine what shell command it should run. - all command{} definitions must have unique command_names. I presume you had problems with nagios complaining about duplicate command names so you decided to comment out the command_names in those duplicate definitions. If nagios actually starts like that, it renders them unusable because you can't reference them. - instead of creating unique command definitions for each snmp community, you can pass it from the host definition just as you're passing the $ARG1$ parameter from the service definition. This can simplify your reuse of the same command definition for similar checks. For example -- define command{ command_name check_snmp command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -C $_HOSTSNMP_COMMUNITY$ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name ups service_description SYSTEM UP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c,r check_command check_snmp!.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 } define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name UPS EDIF address 10.14.12.106 hostgroups ups notes_url http://10.14.12.106 _SNMP_community comun1 } define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name UPS2 EDIF address 10.14.12.107 hostgroups ups notes_url http://10.14.12.107 _SNMP_community publica } -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

If you're using Nagios 3, sticking a "+" in front of the contact groups in your escalation definitions will make them additive, and should do what you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

This method of escalation has a weakness however. At my work, we let warnings go to the default contact (which happens to be email), and escalate to a pager chain on critical. However, if a service sits in WARNING for a length of time (which is likely to happen in the middle of the night), by the time the service enters a CRITICAL state the notification count exceeds our highest escalation, and our entire team gets paged immediately. What I'd like to see is the ability to distinguish between a WARNING notification and a CRITICAL notification in the escalation, and set up escalation chains that work based on the number of CRITICAL's that have been sent, as opposed to the total number of notifications. I am planning on patching nagios to support this behavior if there isn't a way to achieve this behavior with the current implementation. My plan is to add a warning/critical count to service, add a first/last warning/critical state to service escalations, and add the directives "(first|last)_(warning|critical)_notification" to the service escalation configs. The idea is also to keep the current behavior (notification_count and first/last_notification would still be present), but allow finer grained control over when escalations are sent out. This way if somebody didn't want to use the finer grained control their behavior would stay the same. My current plan is to match the escalation if _any_ of the 3 notification ranges match (all/warning/critical). Any advice on making this behavior happen with Nagios as-is, or suggestions/advice on the implementation are welcome. -Gius ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

This is expected to break. You didn't add /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ check_nrpe to the sudoers file (that you've shown), nor should you need/want to. Don't use sudo here. > What do I need to do to make the NRPE work ???????? Take a deep breath... We're happy to help get non-standard plugins working if we can. With what you've posted so far, NRPE seems to be properly configured and you might just have a problem with sudo or your custom plugin. sudo can be finicky. > If I can't get it to work on localhost, it will definitely not work > on Nagios checking the remote Asterisk-server. I can think of several reasons off-hand why this statement wouldn't be true, not least of which is your test above ;) As a general rule though, it's ok. =) > Please help me with the correct configuration of NRPE and my nagisk- > plugin.

It looks like your retention settings are fine. It would be interesting if you were able to recreate the problem, but my guess is that it probably requires the special circumstances of your production environment, so this may not be prudent. Nagios will write retention.dat on every clean shutdown and every $retention_interval minutes. Your logs look like Nagios did a clean shutdown, but maybe it for some reason didn't write retention.dat. In any case, I can't really see anything wrong here, but if I have time I'm going to see if I can replicate the behavior you experienced.

No, I don't have any that I can provide other than the example I provided yesterday based on what you're trying to do. I don't think your main problem is understanding how to use check_snmp, but more with understanding how the nagios config pieces go together to create a check. I could be wrong though. Specific questions about what you're confused about would be better than a blanket question that encompasses many parts of the published documentation (and concepts that come out of that). One thing that is wrong (but you're not that far along yet) is that you haven't told check_snmp what's good or bad about the result it will get from the .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 OID. It'll probably just report OK all the time if it gets any result at all. I will say that check_snmp is one of the more complicated plugins, mainly because SNMP itself is fairly complicated (and flexible) and the plugin needs to match that flexibility. You might consider googling for 'nagios check ups' and see if someone has already simplified checking the kind of UPS that you have. Several people here recommend the 'Nagios' book by Wolfgang Barth.

Nagios will take the variable defined in the host definition, as it will overwrite the variable defined in the template.

So if you have an escalate rule on the 4th notification and only escalate on Critical in the escalation_options then following scenario is can occur: You have 3 warning notifications and the 4th is Critical then it will escalate as there have been 4 notifications and a Critical. I posted a help request on this issue a week or two ago and would really like this to be patched or built into the next update. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/64997/match=escalation+state Cheers, Neil On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 12:56 AM, Martin Melin wrote: > The existing escalation_options directive in escalation definitions will > likely get you this behavior without the need for a patch. > > http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html - see the very > bottom of this page as well as the object definition documentation for > escalation_options. > > Regards, > Martin Melin > > > On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 3:49 AM, Mark Gius wrote: > >> Currently, service notifications contain "first/last_notification" >> directives, that specify the range of notifications that the escalation >> should apply to.

I use the default plugin check_mrtgtraf to monitor interface traffic. Our system is not online yet, so the traffic is very low -- sometime 2 KB/s, sometime 800 B/s. Everything works fine except for the graphics. When the traffic is 2 KB/s, the graphics records 2 and unit is KB/s. When the traffic is 800 B/s, the graphics records 800 and the unit changes to B/s. It seems like the graphics only cares about the numbers and ignores the unit, so that makes my MAX traffic 800 KB/s. This is definitely not right. My questions is, how can I set the unit to fixed KB/s and let the plugin convert 800B/s to 0.8KB/s automatically?

Thanks in advance! > > ps: My mrtg.cfg: Options[_]: growright, bit Your question is not clear, at least to me, nor is it apparent how this is related to nagios. PNP4nagios and mrtg are two different things, getting data from two different places. Both use their own RRD databases for backends. RRD files are units-agnostic. They just store a number and it's up to the presentation layer to determine what units that number is (bits, Kb, Mb, apples falling/second, etc). If you're having a problem with MRTG graphs, the proper forum would be the mrtg listserv. If you're having a problem with pnp4nagios graphs, the proper forum would be pnp4nagios-users. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I have laid out a structure for Nagios configs for all our servers, network gear, and 100 remote offices that we monitor. My question is can I group devices by multiple ways? For instance, I would like one group to be all the remote offices and include only their edge routers. However, I would also like a group for each remote office that includes the router as well as devices within the office. Can this be done so that I can click on a service group for all remote routers at the offices and then another series of groups to just see everything in that office? Thanks.

From source, RPM or other? If you're building it yourself and it's linking against a library that it can't find at runtime, that would indicate a problem with the machine's environment. If you're installing from RPM and it's linked against a library that's not provided by distribution, either the RPM is broken or you're installing a version that was not build for Fedora 11. If it's built for Fedora 11 and expecting to see libltdl.so.3 but you don't have it, either you haven't installed the correct packages on that machine or, again, your environment might not be correct. It's going to take a bit more information to troubleshoot this. There are still too many unkown variables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I'd chalk it up to a problem with nsca but I'm not missing any service checks, only host. I've currently got every host using the same template, which includes a 5 minute check interval with a 1 minute retry and a 600 second freshness threshold. Somewhere one of the servers should be kicking off these checks but for some reason the master isn't doing what it's configured to do. I'm at a loss.

Message-ID: <0C2DE43CE07423448B054668322815B8030A626F@PMI-HMBX1.us.corp.pmigroup.com> Hi- I have a batch process that runs on a Windows box that I'd like to monitor through Nagios. Currently, the job writes all status output to a log file, and this log file is parsed by another monitoring agent (NetIQ) in order to alert when problems occur. This job only runs once a month, and is not scheduled on the Windows server, but triggered by another process running on an iSeries box, so we have no idea when the job will start. In order to gain awareness of job progress, NetIQ is also sending non-error alerts when the job starts and completes, as well as alerts when certain phases of the job complete, also based upon the job log output. NetIQ is completely unreliable, and we're getting these alerts hours after the events occur. I currently have Nagios running in our enterprise monitoring Unix and database services, but nothing running for Windows. I can probably use Splunk to perform the log parsing and alerting, but that means adding another alert source into the mix, which can get confusing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this through Nagios? Is there a way to configure a Nagios service check to send out an alert for a non-error condition (i.e. no state change, just a status update change)?

It seems likely to me that either: a) The config you're checking and the one the init script is telling Nagios to load are not the same thing, or b) The Nagios you're running, and the one the init script is running, are not the same thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I just want the 800B/s to automatically convert to 0.8KB/s via the check_mrtgtraf plugin (OR via pnp).

Thanks in advance! > > ps: My mrtg.cfg: Options[_]: growright, bit Your question is not clear, at least to me, nor is it apparent how this is related to nagios. PNP4nagios and mrtg are two different things, getting data from two different places. Both use their own RRD databases for backends. RRD files are units-agnostic. They just store a number and it's up to the presentation layer to determine what units that number is (bits, Kb, Mb, apples falling/second, etc). If you're having a problem with MRTG graphs, the proper forum would be the mrtg listserv. If you're having a problem with pnp4nagios graphs, the proper forum would be pnp4nagios-users. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

What are the various causes for these alerts? (are the assumptions correct, if wrong please clarify.) The ones above would be possible given certain network configurations (i.e. slow WAN link to remote site, etc). They could also indicate that the host or service you are checking is down. You should be able to determine the cause through troubleshooting... > ? Is it possible to change them as "Warning"? Yes, but requires code editing. Search for the exit strings in the source of the plugin or within nagios and change the exit or state code to 2. Bear in mind that these could also indicate other problem with the services you are checking. You might also consider increasing your retry count instead so that you give more time for temporary latency issues and the like to resolve themselves. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

The authentication is very simplistic on the nagios side. All it does is look at the REMOTE_USER environment variable set by your web server and matches that against contacts specified for hosts/services and the authorized_for_* settings. If you are shown to be 'Logged in as rperezm' (exactly), then it should be working and there is little room for it not to be. The only other option I can think of is that the cgi.cfg file you are editing is not the one being used by the CGI's (maybe I need more coffee though). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

So... what "permission" am I missing? Definitely going to need more than that to go on, since there are about 25,000 different configuration problems that could cause that one.

The last time I used Nagios, there was a hosts.cfg, services.cfg, etc. I haven't yet figured out how to add stuff. I went into /etc/nagios/objects/windows.cfg and added a host entry for one Windows server and changed a couple of the services to refer to it instead of the stock "winserver", but nothing is showing up in the Nagios UI yet. I was hoping to find "The Absolute Beginners FAQ"... here's how to add a host, here's how to add a service. But the docs at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/toc.html refer to each other in a circle. I'm not sure how much reading I'm going to have to do to discover how to do this. Does Nagios just read any config file in /etc/nagios/objects/ ? Should I just create a /etc/nagios/objects/hosts.cfg? Is there some other file that hosts and services and such should be added to? I think I will remember enough to get going once I find out how this stuff has changed between 2.X and 3.X -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

If you always want CRITICAL to be changed to WARNING for this test, you could use the negate plugin. ./negate --help negate v1859 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11) Copyright (c) 2002-2007 Nagios Plugin Development Team Negates the status of a plugin (returns OK for CRITICAL and vice-versa). Additional switches can be used to control which state becomes what. Usage:negate [-t timeout] [-owcu STATE] [snippage] -c,--critical=STATUS STATUS can be 'OK', 'WARNING', 'CRITICAL' or 'UNKNOWN' without single quotes. Numeric values are accepted.

I don't know that I'd say security breach but it does show that permissions are not an issue per se and that you're editing the right file. I have no more suggestions for you other than to try with simple .htaccess/htpasswd auth instead of your LDAP auth.

Well, that's why, then. The default behavior of Nagios is to only show you the stuff you're a contact on.

Take a look at the nagios.cfg file. It lists every file (or directory) it'll look in for configs.

Personally in my work is better use a LDAP domain instead of create independents users every time I need gain acces to Nagios Web Interface.

Authentication is made by Apache (via ldap or anything else) not by nagios. Apache set the REMOTE_USER and it must match a contact name from nagios configuration.

I'm a bit confused by this statement. This test was just a troubleshooting step, really to eliminate filesystem permission issues. As far as being a security issue, that depends entirely on your environment and policies. I have several nagios instances with authentication off and several with it on, based on our needs. >> I have no more suggestions for you other than to try with simple .htaccess/htpasswd auth instead of your LDAP auth.

There's nothing that nagios needs to account for. Either your auth plugin sets the normal auth environment variable and you've told nagios to expect that exact string or not. > Personally in my work is better use a LDAP domain instead of create independents users every time I need gain acces to Nagios Web Interface. My suggestion to do so was yet another troubleshooting step to eliminate your ldap auth plugin as a source of the problem. If you can log in with a htpasswd user and everything works then the problem is with the LDAP auth configuration in apache. It gives you a direction to look. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to use LDAP auth assuming that your chosen auth plugin does the right things. A quick google for 'nagios ldap authentication' show several how-to's, specifically ldap against Active Directory so it can work... It appears the most common problem is that the ldap plugin may set the REMOTE_USER environment variable to the entire DN, not just the username part. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

However, if you do you're also going to need to come up with a way to decrypt them when you pass them off to whatever needs them. Nagios does no processing on what's in that file other than stick those values into variables for you.

The reason for this is Clock Skew. Clock Skew causes the virtual clock on the guest OS to lag behind then skip forward depending on the loading and sleep times of the guest. Note that this will not affect 'Para-virtualised' guests as they share the hardware clock, but these are only possible in some Xen guests at the moment AFAIK and are not common. VMWare can't do them. On a lightly loaded physical machine your clock skew will be negligible but as load goes up you can get the guest clock lagging as much as 10sec or even more. This can screw up latencies, scheduling, rate calculations (such as CPU use and net use) and so on. In addition any monitoring of virtualised resource (CPU, Memory) will be completely wrong unless you obtain the values from a source which is aware of the virtualiasation (eg VMWare tools API or VirtualCentre API for vmware) Clock skew and virtualised resource monitoring has caused too many problems in our tests and we now only use physical servers for Nagios (and MRTG). I have a Nagios plugin check_vmware at www.steveshipway.org/forum for monitoring VMware virtualised resources via the API to get meaningful values - previous used check_esx3 but this has been superceeded by the use of the VC API in check_vmware Steve ________________________________ From: Juki [juki.emma at gmail.com] Sent: Friday, 13 November 2009 12:42 a.m. To: Nagios Users Mail-list Subject: [Nagios-users] Installing Nagios Server on a Virtual Machine Hello people, I would like to know if it is advisable (or best practice) to install and run a Nagios monitoring server on a virtual machine (in this case, with OpenSuSE as the OS) with the intention of monitoring physical hardware client machines on the same LAN.

We haven?t won that battle ? and are happy to just live with it for now. As for scaling ? its a debian box with 256mb of memory also running our LDAP slave server, and looks at 600 different things.

In my case it is "nagios". I noticed that ndo.sock was not being created in /usr/local/nagios/var. On a hunch I checked the permissions on the two config files (mentioned above) and found that they were owned by root, since I was logged in as root when I copied them over from the nod-utils distribution. As soon as I changed the ownership, restarted ndo2db and nagios, the problem was solved. Hope this helps someone. Bob.

What we have done is to create a separate (local) RPM which puts our RPMs in subdirectories of the plugins directory (in our case, /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/LLLLL, where LLLLL is replaced by our local names). We can then update the standard plugins RPM or our RPM independently.

You can install the send_nsca binary for Windows on your server, then get your job to run the binary, sending the appropriate passive check result to the Nagios server whenever a particular part of the job completes. It can send OK check results for steps which finish okay and WARNING or CRITICAL check results if any part fails. You will of course need to configure the nsca daemon on your Nagios server to receive the checks. You can configure the passive service with freshness checking so that if you don't recieve any check at all for a given amount of time, Nagios will alert you. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Splunk runs one or more scheduled searches looking for certain patterns with a small window going backwards (i.e. "in the last 2 minutes, did you see X"). That will then trigger a script that returns passive check results to Nagios. It's worked quite well for us.

This fail concerns the following tables: systemcommands timedeventqueue timedevents Difference between mysql and postgres/oracle: MySQL: INSERT INTO table () VALUES () ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE SET foo=bar; depends on the defined unique constraint within the table creation. Oracle: MERGE INTO table USING DUAL ON (unique constraint) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET foo=bar WHEN NOT MATCHED INSERT () VALUES (); Postgres: UPDATE table SET foo=bar WHERE (unique constraint); if nothing affected INSERT INTO table () VALUES (); Both Oracle and Postgres have defined unique constraints within the queries already. The table created unique constraints are just a doubled check. They have been deeply debugged by myself, since I have implemented their support (currently only within Icinga IDOUtils). But MySQL is missing some constraints and cannot recheck that within the query. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So my fix attempted to recreate those unique keys within the table creation.

Message-ID: <4AFD9DDE.5060103@lafayette.edu> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'm working on pnp4nagios integration with our current nagios deployment and I've run into a cosmetic snag. Some of the services we monitor either don't have performance data, or it doesn't make sense to record the performance data. For those services, I can easily set process_perf_data to 0 and it won't create the data. That part works fine, but the result is a cosmetic issue in that the "Perform Extra Service Actions" icon still appears in the Nagios gui. One method of preventing this is to put action_url fields in all of the relevant service templates, and not in the ones that don't need it. However, this makes for lots of work and a rather large, confusing configuration. So is there a way to tell nagios to supress the action button for given services/hosts ?

There is a weird condition where with microsoft clusters, after a failover event, the passive node still has the drive letters around. This causes the check to return an unknown status for those drives: : UNKNOWN: Could not get free space for: E: "E:" reason: 21 The fix is to reboot the node but that isn't acceptable to us right now. However, it may not be a big deal if I could prioritize warning and critical events before an unknown drive state like what is shown here. For example, if the C drive goes warning, I would want it to say that before it shows this unknown state of E. I am guessing this has to be something that nsclient++ has to do but not seeing it. Any ideas? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

One that occurs using nrpe and a custom script to parse the logfile. The nsclient++ supports custome scripts pretty well Another approach would be to add a passive service and a notificaion into the batch process that updates the status at various times.

It is with various checks that don't have an argument value. If I run check_nrpe -H XXX -c check_uptime from the shell on my nagios server, I get the correct return. However if I setup the serveice check with check_nrpe|check_uptime I get "(No output returned from plugin)" in the Status information window, and an "Unknown" status. If I use check_nrpe_noargs - [this doesn't have -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ at the end] then the service check on the host works from the webpage. I assume that this is because on these checks there are no actual arguments. Im just wondering if I send a zero value on the end,, which does work, would this be acceptable. As this will be across architectures, im trying to use the same tests, and on some machines there will be actual argument values. I am just using the check_uptime above as an example.

No problem - As root, just run: su - nagios -c "ssh nagios at remotebox.com" (replace your target hostname here, or use IP) let it connect and accept the key, then do the same on the target box in reverse, so that both sides have the key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys files.

Message-ID: <4B017C60.8040707@lilacnetworks.com> Hi there. I've been working on a replacement web interface for Nagios, and it's coming along great! However, I wanted to take the time to ask the community some questions to get your feedback and roll it into the interface. So I have 3 questions to ask you all. If you could answer with as much detail as possible, it would be fantastic. #1) What is the most important thing you want to see in a Tactical Overview replacement? What are the most essential components? #2) When looking at a Host or a Service, what are the details you want/need to see? What can you not live without? #3) What is your biggest gripe regarding the existing Nagios web user interface? -- Taylor Dondich (tdondich at gmail.com) CEO at Lilac Networks (http://www.lilacnetworks.com) Provider of quality support for open source monitoring solutions View our open source Nagios Configuration Tool at http://www.lilacplatform.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I have the NRPE plugin installed on both machines: the nagios server and the remote host. I describe below what I've done until now: Remote Host (machine to check) 1) Compile and install the nagios plugins and NRPE 2) Check NRPE connection: ~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost NRPE v2.12 3) Install and cofigure xinetd service (/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe) * 10.128.50.2 (is the Nagios Server IP) service nrpe { flags = REUSE socket_type = stream port = 5666 wait = no user = nagios group = nagios server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd log_on_failure += USERID disable = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 10.128.50.2 } 4) Add the NRPE daemon to services file (/etc/services) 5) Check if NRPE daemon is running correctly ~# netstat -at | grep nrpe tcp 0 0 *:nrpe *:* LISTEN 6) Allow NRPE on iptables ## NRPE Nagios Plugin iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT 7) Configure all services at /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg command[check_ping]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60% After all this changes, off course, I restart all services (xinetd, iptables and so on) Server (machine where Nagios is running) 1) Install the NRPE plugin 2) Check connection to remote host ~# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.128.50.11 NRPE v2.12 3) Create command definitions (/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg) #'nrpe' command definition define command{ command_name check_nrpe command_line $USERS1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ } 4) Create host and service definitions Host Template: -- define host{ name linux-server use generic-host check_period 24x7 check_interval 5 retry_interval 1 max_check_attempts 10 check_command check-host-alive notification_period 24x7 notification_interval 30 notification_options d,u,r contact_groups admins register 0 } Define Host (bacula-server.cfg) (the server to check): -- define host{ use linux-server host_name bacula-server alias bacula address 10.128.50.11 } Define Services: -- define service{ use generic-service host_name bacula-server service_description PING check_command check_nrpe!check_ping } Just one for now for testing purpose. 5) Restart Nagios ~#/etc/init.d/nagios restart After all this I'm getting, constantly, these errors: [1258389533] Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'SAN Space SDB1' on host 'bacula-server' was out of bounds.

You can use the '--omreport' option to specify where omreport.exe is, like this: check_openmanage.exe --omreport F:\dellopenmanage\oma\bin\omreport.exe This should be configured in your nsc.ini file on the hosts.

The best fix would be to use the SNMP C library instead or running snmpget (which would be more reliable too). This is a major rewrite and we don't have time for that right now. - -- Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFLAd0Z6dZ+Kt5BchYRAr7SAJ40KLEe3jp6GG8S/Vfkc3w15s0oEACfaFBi GVmi/p+ge4iZcg8+CHbDXj8= =531R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I just have one thing to go. I am trying to get MRTG to work with Nagios. I have got MRGT working locally on my machine , and can see it working by going to these 2 sites (locally) in a browser: file:///usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/index.html and file:///usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost_2.html I followed the tutorial below to set up my router with Nagios: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/how-to-monitor-network-switch-and-ports-using-nagios/ however I am yet to get MRTG working with Nagios: PING OK 11-14-2009 13:13:56 21d 16h 10m 13s 1/3 PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 1.38 ms Port 1 Bandwidth Usage UNKNOWN 11-14-2009 13:09:49 21d 16h 8m 43s 3/3 check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file Port 1 Link Status OK 11-14-2009 13:11:29 12d 22h 37m 5s 1/3 SNMP OK - up(1) Uptime OK 11-14-2009 13:10:29 12d 22h 27m 57s 1/3 SNMP OK - Timeticks: (152738042) 17 days, 16:16:20.42 My switch.cfg currently has the following: # Monitor bandwidth via MRTG logs define service{ use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template host_name Billion service_description Port 1 Bandwidth Usage check_command check_local_mrtgtraf!/usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost2.log!AVG!1000000,1000000!5000000,5000000!10 } My localhost2.log is at the location above: /usr/local/mrtg-2/share/mrtg2/icons/localhost2.log ,however I still must have something wrong for it to not work.

What can you not live without? For those people who use the FQDN as host name, I would love to see a way to sort hosts by domain. The sort should not be case sensitive. OK, that's not directly an answer to your question, but for me it's a little thing that would help enormously. When monitoring hosts in several different domains, the host list is sorted by host name; domains aren't grouped together. Also, FQDNs aren't case sensitive, but Nagios is. That's primarily an issue when monitoring Windows servers. > #3) What is your biggest gripe regarding the existing Nagios web user > interface? The Nagios navigation is too closely tied to the content. What I'd love to see is Nagios being a set of individual snippets that you can embed in your own Web site (plus a framework that ties them all together for those people who want to use it the current way). In my case, for instance, I'd love to be able to embed Nagios into Joomla pages. If the user clicks on a link within one of the Nagios pages (say, clicks on a service to see service details), it should be possible to forward such a click to the page that Nagios is embedded into and let the framework handle navigation. A session-based authentication scheme would be nice. The ultimate goal would be single-sign-on support; when logged into one of the common frameworks (in my case, again, Joomla), there should be a way for Nagios to retrieve the user name and password from the "parent" session without exposing the password. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Now what you really want is for the OS to push them somewhere else. I use SuSE Linux here and it uses Postfix for email and I know how to forward email and setup Postfix when forwarding to another server to use smtp auth. If you need a bit of advice on Postfix, let me know.

You problem is to vague at this point; too many possibilities. It would help if you provided real configuration information (host{} definitions, service{} definitions from objects.cache).

It sounds like you're not using a fully-qualifed email address for your contact{} (address at domain.com) or else the local SMTP server running on your nagios box believes that it is responsible for the @domain.com you're sending to. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

When you configured Nagios to send e-mail, what e-mail address did you tell it to send to? Also, look for a file called /etc/aliases. Open it, and see if there is a line like: root: cosmin The name on the left may match the e-mail address you gave nagios, and the aliases file is re-directing that mail to the local user cosmin. Replace cosmin with an e-mail address on a different domain. Or modify Nagios to send to a an e-mail address on a domain different than the local machine. Or configure the e-mail client on your computer to check the e-mail account on your Nagios machine. -- Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <2dfcbd1b0911170845m766df1ebj50aab320309ac543@mail.gmail.com> Hi, I have several webservers that have over 20 (virtual)interfaces each. So I've defined the host with custom macros for each private IP: define host{ use linux-server _ip_private_VIP_1 10.4.200.101 _ip_private_VIP_2 10.4.201.101 ... } Now I want to refer to this $_HOSTip_provate_VIP_1$ macro in services definitions, but nagios is complaining about not finding the service. The documentation isn't clear whether or not custom macros could be used in service definitions. I've a command like this: define command{ command_name check_http_str_return_args command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $ARG1$ $ARG2$ } And the service definition: define service{ use generic-service (...) check_command check_http_str_return_args!$_HOSTip_private_VIP_1$!-u / -t 10 -w 3 -c 5 -e HTTP/1.1 200 OK } My question is: Is it by design that custom macros should NOT be used in service definitions? Because I'd need to create ONE COMMAND per VIP just to use custom macros? I would like to set just one services, to use just ONE command, and be able to check the whole webserver farm.

When you test at the command line, are you doing it as the nagios user? Looks like it could easily be a permissions issue. I must admit to see this kind of thing myself from time to time. Although to me, it seems more like perl than NRPE. In a broader context the issue is about getting something different when running from the command line versus running through Nagios. One that comes to mind that looks for processes consuming lots of CPU will tell me the specific process name when run from the command line, but tells me only "java" when run automatically via Nagios. I have another script that runs great from the command-line, but blows up when it runs through Nagios. I haven't had the time to dig in as much as I'd like and Nagios itself does not, unfortunately, provide much useful info from what I've seen to help you debug plugin problems. In this case though, I'm a little suspicious of ePN causing the different behavior as that's what's really different between my command-line runs and Nagios' automatic runs.

UNKNOWN 11-17-2009 13:10:15 0d 0h 1m 54s 2/3 NRPE: Call to fork() failed This service is flapping between states UNKNOWN 11-17-2009 13:10:15 0d 0h 0m 54s 3/3 NRPE: Unable to read output This service is flapping between states UNKNOWN 11-17-2009 13:06:15 0d 0h 4m 54s 3/3 NRPE: Call to fork() failed UNKNOWN 11-17-2009 13:10:15 0d 0h 1m 54s 2/3 CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages. The server being monitored is an HP-UX 11.00 system running on a PA-RISC chipset. I have checked the log files of the remote host, but there is nothing to indicate there being a problem. I have also run the check commands manually on the remote host, and all have returned known output. Has anyone seen this, know what it is, and what steps can be done to stop it from occurring?

Looking in the code it looks like macro substitution happens at the right place too... There is a problem with the resulting command in that '-e HTTP/1.1 200 OK' will be translated to '-e' with an argument of 'HTTP/1.1' and then a dangling 200 and a dangling OK to the entire command. If you want to match more than HTTP/1.1, enclose the entire 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK' in quotes. > My question is: > > Is it by design that custom macros should NOT be used in service definitions? I don't recall seeing it stated either way (should/should not). I know that you can use other macros in this way and don't believe that custom macros are special. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Do you have restrictions on that host to prevent that? limits on memory use, max number of process, etc? Have you tried putting NRPE into debug mode? You might get more information but it sounds like the OS is preventing the creation of the child process. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

The -I flag of the check_http command was being issued with just a dollar sign ($) as it's parameter. So i think it's a matter of macro double spanning, because there is a custom macro ($_HOSTIP_PRIVATE_VIP_1$) being passed to be spanned by $ARG1$ at the command_line definition. I do not know If I ever saw or used a configuration like this. I don't think is a problem of quoting, because Nagios should replace $_HOSTIP_PRIVATE_VIP_1$ by it's custom host value say, 10.0.0.1, and then pass this value to be replaced at $ARG1$ standard command macro, but all I see is a dolar sign being issued by nagios as a parameter of -I. Then my second question in my next email about double macro spanning. Do you think it could be a configuration problem?

If you're doing active ping checks of the host, it doesn't make sense to add another ping check as a service. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Message-ID: We're looking at possibly allowing more individual users into the web interface and allowing them to schedule their own downtime. One concern is that if a team doesn't get an alert they could come to my team (the team that administers Nagios) and say "why didn't Nagios send us an alert when X was down?" when the issue was actually caused because a member of their own team had disabled notifications. I know we can see that an external command was executed in the log file and when, but there's no way of knowing (as far as I can see) who actually requested that that command be run. In my opinion, it could be useful to know that 'bob' requested that notifications be disabled on host X particularly as it pertains to the web interface. Is there a way to do this or would this need to be a feature request?

I'm not sure about using check_nt; I beliebe the recommended bethog for NSClient++ is using check_nrpe (you will have to make sure the NEPE listener module is enabled and properly configured) Here are example of memory checks you can do with check_nrpe: Physical memory: CheckMem ShowAll=long MaxWarn=$ARG1$ MaxCrit=$ARG2$ type=physical Page file: CheckMem ShowAll=long MaxWarn=$ARG1$ MaxCrit=$ARG2$ type=virtual All memort (RAM+SWAP): CheckMem ShowAll=long MaxWarn=$ARG1$ MaxCrit=$ARG2$ type=paged You can set them as aliases ($ARGx$ are nrpe arguments) or even call CheckMem as the NRPE command and the rest of the line are the nrpe arguments (-a). - -- Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFLA9Z36dZ+Kt5BchYRAj8CAJwLN3mP8TaRlKITx6BKcFwZJUCQzACgstfp MUjwhDVooXxc2X2ogn+L9p4= =0ild -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Now, this is odd, because it speeds things up TREMENDOUSLY with doing things at the command line with snmpwalk and snmpget. As this is my SNMP management machine, we have thousands of mib files being parsed before those commands are run without specifying. So I checked: temporary ~ # time /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 10.1.25.11 -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1 -w 10:20 -c 20:30 SNMP WARNING - *27* | iso.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1=27 real 0m0.264s user 0m0.050s sys 0m0.010s temporary ~ # time /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -H 10.1.25.11 -m EATON-PWR-MTR-MIB -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.534.8.3.1.5.1.1.4.1 -w 10:20 -c 20:30 SNMP WARNING - *27* | EATON-PWR-MTR-MIB::pwrMtrDemandKiloWatts.1=27 real 0m0.040s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.010s I did each several times in a row to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I can understand that loading a single MIB is fast, but check_snmp should force a blank mib list (-m '') when only a numeric OID is broken. some time ago I fixed it when using multiple numerical oids separated with commas, but this behaviour with a single OID should be very old.

I'm on Gentoo, and the current version here is 3.0.6. The latest version (3.2.0) is available if I "unmask" it from being labeled as "unstable." I have the plugins at 1.4.13.

Sometimes the RSS reaches 3.2GB of memory and it stops serving requests. Hence I've to restart the service when ever it reaches the limit. I was doing this manually for sometime and today I decided to make an event handler for this. We use Nagios 2.6 on Debian etch. So on the nagios server I created a service definition define service{ use system-service host_name flash1-server service_description check-red5-process-memory-size event_handler restart_red5 check_command check_nrpe_1arg!check_red5_proc_mem } And the command definition for the event handler: define command{ command_name restart_red5 command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c restart_red5 -a $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ } Now, on the red5 server I've defined the commands as: #check RSS of red5 command[check_red5_proc_mem]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -C java -a 'red5' -w 2900000 -c 3100000 --metric=RSS # event handler to restart red5 command[restart_red5]=/usr/local/bin/restart_red5.sh I've added 'nagios' to /etc/sudoers: red5:~# grep 'nagios' /etc/sudoers nagios ALL= NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/red5 restart Below is the restart_red5.sh script: ------------------- #!/bin/sh # Event handler for nagios # restarts red5 daemon when its memory consumption reaches 3GB # args passed: $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ /usr/bin/logger -t nrpe "$@" case "$1" in OK) ;; WARNING) ;; UNKNOWN) ;; CRITICAL) case "$2" in SOFT) case "$3" in 3) /usr/bin/logger -t nrpe 'Restarting red5 server...' /usr/bin/sudo /etc/init.d/red5 restart /usr/bin/pgrep java && /usr/bin/logger -t nrpe 'Successfully restarted red5 server...' ;; esac ;; HARD) /usr/bin/logger -t nrpe 'Restarting red5 server...' /usr/bin/sudo /etc/init.d/red5 restart /usr/bin/pgrep java && /usr/bin/logger -t nrpe 'Successfully restarted red5 server...' ;; esac ;; esac echo 'Done' exit 0 ------------------- And now about the issue I have. From the nagios log on the server, I can see that the event handler gets invoked. But on the red5 server, nothing happens. As you can see from the script, I log to syslog. Nothing shows up in the log. If I manually issue the check_nrpe command from the nagios server, I just get 'Done' as reply, whatever the values I pass as argument. nagios:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H red5_server -c restart_red5 -a CRITICAL HARD 3 Done logger doesn't print the arguments passed to the syslog as instructed in the script. If I print $# (the number of args), its always 0. My guess is that the arguments $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ are not getting passed to the script. I have tried passing the arguments in the service definition itself define service{ use system-service host_name flash1-server service_description check-red5-process-memory-size event_handler restart_red5!$SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ check_command check_nrpe_1arg!check_red5_proc_mem } define command{ command_name restart_red5 command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c restart_red5 -a $ARG1$ } It didn't have any effect as well. What am I doing wrong here ? Am sure its something simple, but I can't seem to get to it. Please help.

I have the following service definition on the Nagios host (from objects.cache): define service { host_name winhost service_description System EventLog check_period 24x7 passive checks check_command check_passive_service!0!No critical system events contact_groups testing-admins notification_period 24x7 passive checks initial_state o check_interval 5.000000 retry_interval 2.000000 max_check_attempts 1 is_volatile 0 parallelize_check 1 active_checks_enabled 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 obsess_over_service 1 event_handler_enabled 1 low_flap_threshold 0.000000 high_flap_threshold 0.000000 flap_detection_enabled 1 flap_detection_options o,w,u,c freshness_threshold 14400 check_freshness 1 notification_options u,w,c,r notifications_enabled 1 notification_interval 360.000000 first_notification_delay 0.000000 stalking_options n process_perf_data 1 failure_prediction_enabled 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 } The check_passive_service command is defined as such: define command { command_name check_passive_service command_line $USER1$/check_dummy $ARG1$ "$ARG2$" } The "24x7 passive checks" timeperiod is defined as such: define timeperiod { timeperiod_name 24x7 passive checks alias 24x7 passive checks - single alert notifies sunday 00:00-24:00 monday 00:00-24:00 tuesday 00:00-24:00 wednesday 00:00-24:00 thursday 00:00-24:00 friday 00:00-24:00 saturday 00:00-24:00 } The testing-admins contact group is defined as such: define contactgroup { contactgroup_name testing-admins alias Bensend testing group members cbensend } On the Windows side, I have a EventLog Agent alert set up like so: Name: User Initiated System Reboot Event Log to Check: System Which Events to Alert: Information, Warning, Error Match String: has initiated the restart of computer HOSTNAME Service Name: System EventLog Service Status: (2) Critical The Agent and NSCA are communicating fine, I get a notification each time I restart the agent. However, the System EventLog alert matches the regexp string above, but does not notify. After resetting all passive services so they are in an OK state, here are the log entries from the Nagios side when I reboot the Windows machine with my explanations and comments (please pardon the crappy line wrapping): Nov 19 08:20:05 hostname nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;winhost;EventLog Agent;1;HEARTBEAT [WARN #1]: Service starting -- OK, that's the Nagios EventLog Agent starting.

No notification. No nothing else, and I didn't skip any log entries other than one of the NSClient++ services getting a connection refused while the host was rebooting. And what makes this worse is that it's not consistent - I get the entries from NSCA every time, but I only get the notifications SOME of the time.

As for configuring cacti from nagios, you should be able to create a device template and then apply it to bulk hosts but that will have to be through the sql back end. The entire cacti config is in the cacti database and the actual data is RRD files located usually in the $cacti_install/rra folder. there aren't any "config files" in cacti like there are in nagios.

The load1 is the average of that number in the last minute, load5 it's the same average within 5 minutes, and load15 the same for the last 15 minutes. It does NOT relates to memory leak detection.

Load average has nothing to do with memory utilization. There is no way to directly detect a memory leak... especially a slow one. Nagios generally concerns itself with the status of some measured value at the time of the check. You can check the amount of available memory, and report back if the total free memory is less than some threshold, but there is no plugin that checks the status of memory over time. -- David Wallis Information Technology Advanced Photon Source Argonne National Laboratory -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The service was already in a HARD non-OK state, no additional notification would be sent. > And what makes this worse is that it's not consistent - I get the > entries from NSCA every time, but I only get the notifications SOME > of the time. Here is one that *did* work: Another possibility is host checks. What is the state of the host when you *do not* receive a notification? You're rebooting it so it's going to be seen as non-OK, depending on the timing of this last passive check. Notifications for services on non-OK hosts are automatically suppressed. > This is the first time I've done anything with passive service > checks; am I just not understanding something silly? Or .. ? They're really not treated much differently than active checks; especially in this regard. A non-OK service check results in a check of the host to make sure it's still up (depending on caching options you have set). If the host is down, notifications for services are suppressed. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

In no particular order ... I would like to be able to view host and service status on the same screen, in the same table. I would like optionally to view problems in hard state only.

I see the same here on v3.2.0. I think it used to work ok in version 2. I couldn't see anything for it in the tracker at http://tracker.nagios.org/view_all_bug_page.php so it might be worth adding it as a bug in there (if that's the thing to do - I can't say I've ever reported a bug myself in the past).

When you run the report, you need to specify "Assume States During Program Downtime:" = No. In the URL, you can add "&assumestatesduringnotrunning=no" to set this too. You only normally see all these menu options for the availability report if you run it from the main Nagios menu. If you run it from the little menu in the extinfo.cgi for a service or host, you don't see all these options. I hope that helps. If it doesn't make sense let me know and I'll send you a screen shot or two.

Is your server really losing and gaining over an hour in time difference? That's an awful lot of time to be shifting. I'd recommend starting there to find out why your server shifts so much before looking at nagios. -- Jonathan Angliss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

There was a change between Nagios 2 and 3 which broke it, I can't remember precisely what, but it's not difficult to fix. I'll have a look tomorrow if I get a minute. > You could also just create a check_period that excludes your reboot window. Another option is to set a delay before notification which is longer than the usual time it takes to reboot. That's what I do for most of our WIntel reboots.

For example, for most of my services, only the admins need to be notified if the service goes down. For a few (critical) services, however, additional people need to be notified if the service goes down. I achieve this by adding an extra service template to these critical services -- the extra service template has a "contact_groups +critical-contacts" directive in it. This works fine, except that I have to define extra services because of this. For example, I run "check_http" service checks for a lot of hosts, but only "check_http" service checks on some (critical) hosts need to have the above 'critical-contacts' people notified if the HTTP service goes down. So, I need to define one "check_http" service for all the hosts with normal notifications and another "check_http" service for the critical HTTP services. That's a simple example... I have a lot of contactgroups and a lot of services, some of which are 'critical' services. I've recently thought that it would be much nicer to control contacts through hostgroups and servicegroups rather than templates. Because it isn't possible to define contacts for hostgroups and servicegroups, I tried creating a service template and having it as part of a servicegroup, and having the "critical-host,check_http" service be a part of the servicegroup. Unfortunately, it didn't work (i.e. the contacts for the service template didn't get notified when the service went down). Anyway, two questions: * Is anyone out there using hostgroups or servicegroups to control contacts/contactgroups? If so, how? * Is there any other way (other than applying extra templates to hosts/services to define extra contacts) that I can control contacts/contactgroups like this?

You could take this logic and simply add contacts to hostgroups that way. # secondary on call define serviceescalation{ hostgroup_name z-allhosts service_description .* contact_groups +secondary first_notification 2 last_notification 3 notification_interval 30 escalation_options w,u,c,r } # tertiary on call define serviceescalation{ hostgroup_name z-allhosts service_description .* contact_groups +tertiary,secondary first_notification 4 last_notification 0 notification_interval 30 escalation_options w,u,c,r } Hopefully this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I'd like to be able to specify particular services on particular hosts, and to use service escalations to do that, I'd have to set up a service escalation for each 'critical' service for each host. If I could specify a servicegroup instead of a hostgroup in a service escalation definition, it would be perfect, as I could set up a 'critical' servicegroup that included all the 'critical' services and set up a single service escalation :) Regards, Guy. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can use a list of services for the service_description so you don't need one escalation per service. We do something similar for many of our application teams. This basically gives you you the same power as a servicegroup. define serviceescalation{ hostgroup_name dba-notify-servers service_description Disk,Swap,SSH first_notification 1 last_notification 0 notification_interval 30 contact_groups +dba-team escalation_options r,w,c } So you can still setup a critical hostgroup, then list the services in the escalation. The previous example basically mirrors any notifications to the DBA's that our *NIX admins get, but only on hosts in the dba-notify-servers group.

Which version of check_snmp are you using? 1.4.14 should have better handling of special characters than anything before... whichever version you use it would be nice it you could try the other (1.4.14 vs older). Besides that I don't see what wouldn't work. Maybe try with debug output (-vvv). NB: check_snmp v1.4.14 has broken support for multiple -o option, but you can still pass multiple oids separated with commas. - -- Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFLC2tT6dZ+Kt5BchYRAijpAKCKiByUCak8yBy0YcqaKQM/T0ynpwCbBYNm G62RDLRz8ZYlKym02b4dUok= =Mljf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

The problem is that the rrdtool doesn't appear to keep all the data it gets. Maybe it is configured badly, but it appears to only keep limited data for the yearly graphs, so when doing a data export we only really have decent data for analysis from the past month or so. Ideally I think a solution that stores the information in a MySQL database would be optimal as the required data could be easily queried and exported in a boss-friendly format.

I don't know about Nagiosgraph, the the way RRD are designed it to keep different resolution of data for different intervals, doing automatic aggregation. These resolutions/interval are defined in RRA's with a consolidation function (CF) that determine what value is retained (AVG (average), MAX, MIN...). Lets say you have a RRD that gets data every minute, and you have 2880 lines in the first RRA, that means it will keep 2 days of 1-minute data (60*24*2 = 1880). Then the next one might gets 5-minute average (5 primary data point (pdp) per row) and if you have 4032 lines in this RRA,it will retain 14 days of data, then you might have a 30-minute (6 pdp since it's based on the 5-minute RRA), 2-hours (4 pdp), daily (6 pdp) RRAs and so on. A daily-data RRA of 1460 rows will retain 4 years of data with 1-day granularity. That looks great with long-term graphs that covers nearly a full year or more, but if you zoom in it you will not find it much appealing (i.e. no curves that you'd normally expect on daily graphs as the load change throughout the day). Therefore if you're just missing long-term low-resolution data then you will have add such RRA to keep this data. OTOH if you want high resolution on long term data you will have to increase the number of rows on the RRAs you need, based on what you need. Note that the later option will greatly increase the size of you RRD files, which are created at full capacity and will never grow. Also take note that you can't just resize a RRD, you normally have to export and re-import it, although if it's somewhat compatible you may be able to export the data from the old RRAs and import it on the new one. This is a manual process, but there may be some tools available out there that automate resizing of RRD files. You will find more information on RRD files and the RRDTool commands at this page: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/ Hope this helps. - -- Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFLC+Wc6dZ+Kt5BchYRAvONAKCx4rWnr+/ILZ3Hbflx+eZDSbJ21ACgo/V/ rdPt4hY9IbSjsGPwc180bck= =lH8e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Use a failover IP (that follows the disk) for monitoring any cluster resources, so that it's always monitoring the active node. As a mater of fact most clustered resources will have a failover IP that clients connect to regardless of the server that runs them. - -- Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFLC+C86dZ+Kt5BchYRAnG7AJsG6RIL44zlPP2Mm5MEP32vj0AxdACeLIs4 wxdEqXrZ4TJSv3K3gB7Sq70= =meDx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

For example if it's an email server, you may be able to use check_smtp as your host check. It really depends what is available to you, and what will give you a check which is closest to answering the question "Is this host 'up'?". You will need to change the check_command directive in the host definition for that host, and you might need to tweak the command definition too. For example, your new host definition might look like this: define host{ use generic-host host_name server1 alias server1 - email server - pings disabled address 10.10.11.12 hostgroups +servers parents router3 check_command check_smtp!-w 5 -c 8 } and your check_smtp command definition might look like this: # 'check_smtp' command definition define command{ command_name check_smtp command_line $USER1$/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ } hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

The problem is that the rrdtool doesn't appear to keep all the data it gets. Maybe it is configured badly, but it appears to only keep limited data for the yearly graphs, so when doing a data export we only really have decent data for analysis from the past month or so. Ideally I think a solution that stores the information in a MySQL database would be optimal as the required data could be easily queried and exported in a boss-friendly format.

It means that the check is taking longer than either the plugin timeout or nagios' master timeout. There are many reasons why this could be happening but the most common are that the remote system is slow to respond or network problems between the nagios machine and the remote system are present. It could also be caused by problems with external systems as well such as DNS. There are far too many factors to give you a specific answer. You'll need to do some digging into events around that time on your network and systems in order to discover the cause. I'd suggest starting by discovering all the things that these problem checks have in common and check each for potential cause. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

In fact, it makes perfect sense, and I am intimately familiar with both. That said, last time I tried that it didn't work - I'm not so stupid as to not think to try a simple wildcard :-). On the other hand, I'm running 3.0.6, as that is what is distributed with the stable version of OpenBSD. Perhaps this is something that was fixed in 3.1 or 3.2? I seem to recall reading something about a new web interface. So my point stands that this is MY biggest gripe with the web interface.

Current setup: *) Nagios identifies critical "Alert" *) mposter_service (agent by Mastercell) is invoked and the alert is passed to MasterCell *) Some Mastercell + Remedy magic is happening here ( I assume, there is priority set to each server in Remedy which is compared) and the tickets are generated as P1 tickets all the time even for non-critical server. In a month, we are getting around 8000 P1 tickets for 1600 Servers configured in Nagios 3.0.6 Question: Is there a notification method possible where in which we can send the alert priority along with the notification? I am also checking with the Mastercell expert who is an external vendor (he is very costly too ;-) ). you help is highly appreciated.

Looking at the examples I see for hosts and hostgroup configuration, e.g.: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=5caea3690911120551o40031fe3o3994b8fc8b463143%40mail.gmail.com I can't see doing it that way, with a list of 400+ IPs in a single hostgroup. There must be a better way to do this. With the fping command (not check_fping) I can feed it a list of IPs to check from a file. If I ran fping with -a and did a diff between that output and my original list of IPs, I'd get a report of which switches are down. I could write a shell script to do this and set up a cron in less time than it would take to do the same in nagios with my current knowledge of the configuration options in nagios. I'm sure someone will be up to the challenge of showing me it is just as easy to set up in nagios. I saw this example: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-routers.html<%20http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-routers.html> but I don't get "allhosts, switches" in the hostgroups configuration.

Different problem. If you're just wanting to ping them, the only purpose of the hostgroup would just be to group them for display in the GUI. You do need them in a hostgroup for that. They should be in a hostgroup anyway though, it's just better in the long-run. > With the fping command (not check_fping) I can feed it a list of IPs > to check from a file.

Each solves different problem statements and their complexity relates directly to their functionality. fping may be the tool for you if that's all you need or until you get familiar with nagios configuration (and develop your workflow). I'm a hands-on kind of learner and I personally think you're not going to really learn it until you do it though. > I saw this example: > http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-routers.html > but I don't get "allhosts, switches" in the hostgroups configuration. > Is this some sort of keyword or built-in wildcard? No, they're not keywords, the names are arbitrary but hopefully representational. They're real hostgroup{}s with appropriate members (or a wildcard member for allhosts presumably) created by you if you like those names. It should be fairly straightforward for you... You'll first need to create a hostgroup{} definition to contain all the switches. - http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#hostgroup define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name switches alias All Your Switches Are Belong To Us } There are at least 3 ways to associate your switches with this hostgroup. I purposely avoided using a 'members' directive with a wildcard because you may one day monitor more than just these switches... I also didn't list out each switch in the members line either. You could do it, but it gets messy to manage by hand. A third way, and most flexible, is below. Next, you'll need to create a host{} definition for each of your switches. Your script-fu powers should come in handy here (i.e. a long one-liner awk should do it). Besides the usual required parameters, be sure to set the 'hostgroups' parameter to 'switches' to include it in the group above -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host define host{ host_name cool_switch alias Freezer Switch address 192.168.1.2 hostgroups switches check_command check_fping ;(or whatever it's called) check_period 24x7 ; (or whatever your schedule is) check_interval 5 ; (or whatever your schedule is) retry_interval 1 ; (or whatever your schedule is) other required parameters ... } Make sure that these directives are put in a cfg_file that nagios reads, verify your config (/path/to/nagios -f /path/to/nagios.cfg), fix any problems, start nagios and voila. Not as good as home made bread but tasty none-the-less... -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Our staff just needs to input some basic data about new or changed devices into a DB (via web) and it all Just Works.

That is much more workable. It looks like this will meet our needs nicely and I will be automating the generation of the configs for this part of our nagios set up.

Has anyone tried listing 400+ hosts in a hostgroup? Yes, sure. My largest current hostgroup has 726 members. I have had them listed out as members in the hostgroup 'members' line in the past (nagios-1.x) but adding them to the hostgroup from the host{} definition is more convenient. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Been hacking on this for a bit today prior to resigning to asking for some direction on this. My guess is that you are not actually checking the remote hosts. check_disk, if that is what you are using, must be installed and run on the host you wish to check disk space on. Which method are you using to obtain the results from the remote hosts? There are several, and you must install additional software on the remote hosts or configure third party programs such as SNMP to obtain those results.

We had a major outage at our co-location facility, which caused my phone to go crazy with all the alerts. It took me way too long to acknowledge all the hosts and services to keep my phone quiet. I considered just disabling notifications all together, but there's more that gets monitored than just that one facility, so that wasn't really an option.

You surely can tailor one of them for your needs (which I'll assume you did as you're using the mposter_service for integration). If you take a closer look to commands.cfg, there is a command defined to be the {host,service}-notification command. I assume you are using another method differently than email notifications for the creation of your tickets, or I'm wrong?

I posted about the same thing a few weeks back. I had services defined with "max_check_attempts" set to 3 and wasn't getting alerted because it would get stuck on the first or second attempt. After digging through my logs I saw that when this was happening, the service would go critical but the next check would never occur. There may be some strange bug in the code that schedules retries. I'm not sure, but I added a cleanup script that shuts down nagios, removes all temporary files and restarts which seems to fix the problem for a short while.

Well, in true, spending ages looking for a problem, and then you post to a mailing-list and then you find the solution, style, I've found the problem: normal_check_interval and retry_check_interval were renamed to check_interval and retry_interval respectively.
