I am now ready to create maps to visualize the systems that our Nagios server monitors on our network. I have gone through the documentation provided for NagVis, and I am confused as to how to get things going. I am trying to start off simple by using the default files. I need help creating the appropriate configuration files and so on to get the maps up and running. Can someone provide the steps that I can follow in order to create the maps and/or templates that I can use? Thanks.

ActiveSync is wrapped in HTTP and the first thing you should get is a web login when you go to that site. You can start there. Ah, thank you. I thought there was something like that, but I couldn't find it. I think simply using a http check to that address, and making sure it lets me log in should do the trick. Of course, I get a 501 error after logging in, but that's fine- at least I know it's responding and accepting credentials.

During a recent host down event Nagios sent notifications to 8 of the 18 configured contacts. The contacts are configured in two contact groups, of the 8 contacts that were sent notifications all were from the same contact group but there are another 4 contacts in that group that did not get notifications sent. No contacts from the second group had notifications generated. There was a routing issue on our WAN that caused this event, the SMTP server we use is across the WAN. Could the routing issue have prevented some of the SMTP notifications from being sent, wouldn't they just queue up and go once the problem was resolved? I have seen messages that did not arrive at the recipients phone but I've never seen Nagios not generate notifications for contacts that are configured for that host or service. Has anyone else seen this, any suggestions on a cause or how to troubleshoot? Nagios 3.2.0 on RHEL 5.5 Thanks, -greg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <4C58777C.8030404@nagios.com> For those of you who haven't seen yet, the voting for Nagios Seedcamp projects began today! As background, this (first) Seedcamp was a call for completely new and interesting projects for use with Nagios Core and/or Nagios XI, including wizards, check plugins, and documentation. Fifteen submissions were received, and from the descriptions there look to be some pretty nifty things in there. So now we enter phase two, which is where YOU, all of our lovely users and community members, should go check out the submissions in the Seedcamp category of the Nagios Exchange (http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Seedcamp) and then vote for them. Read the descriptions, download and install, play around with them, and then let us know what you think at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3Z9JRDX ! Voting will be open for two weeks, after which the winners will be announced. The authors of the top three projects as determined by your votes will be awarding cash prizes in the amount of $1,000, $750, and $500 USD respectively. Hopefully this will then encourage further development and improvement of those projects and others to follow. For a little more about Seedcamp (and the URL to tell your friends), see http://www.nagios.org/seedcamp . As an aside and disclosure, I'll mention that two of the projects are my own submissions. Both work with both Nagios Core and Nagios XI: * Ubuntu / Debian (and family) Nagios Agent package (works with both XI and Core) (written on company time) http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Monitoring-Agents/Ubuntu-Nagios-Agent/details * Common Alerting Protocol check plugin (for things like severe weather notices, Amber alerts, and other civil emergency notifications (written on personal time) http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Others/check_cap-%252D-check-Common-Alerting-Protocol-feeds/details Now go check them all out, and don't forget to vote! -- Tony Yarusso Technical Team ___ Nagios Enterprises, LLC Email: tyarusso at nagios.com Web: www.nagios.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.

Make sure there were no errors logged. - Check your local SMTP server logs to see if the messages were received there and no errors were reported. - Make sure that nagios has been restarted since adding this group and contacts. - Make sure you don't have multiple nagios daemons running at the same time. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.

I've looked at a few tools on NagiosExchange but I'm not sure if they fit the bill, so I wanted to ask the list for opinions. And yes, I know what opinions are like haha. Here are my requirements: 1. Send a daily message regarding the Nagios hosts/services uptime, and other results from configured checks. 2. The daily message format should be either text, pdf or even perhaps html. 3. A monthly summary message containing aggregate values for the month. It seems that I should perform a dump of nagios into mySQL or similar; however I'm not sure on the proper architecture to proceed.

The idea is to have different nagios-instances which are independent, but which can be monitored from a central nagios-instance. As far as I read, both NSCA and NRPE are not exactly what I'm looking for. Could Opsview do something like that?

We do that in our Nagios cluster. We have a number of remote Nagios collectors in different locations. They all forward their service check results back to a central monitoring server. That server doesn't actually run any host or service checks (other than to monitor the remote collectors), but that depends on how you configure your Nagios installation. Each remote collector is fully independent in the fact that they have the standard Nagios web interface, they schedule their own service checks, and they can generate notifications for failed hosts/services (we decided against that and only have our central collector generating notifications). The data is passed back using OCP_daemon to improve performance, which feeds data back to the central collector using NSCA.

I have a client who needs an HMI (Maple Systems 5070 http://www.maplesystems.com/graphic-hmi/7-inch-ethernet-widescreen-touchscreen.htm) on a series of remote industrial machines monitored. I love the idea because it's so new to me and I love a challenge. But, has anyone had any experience with this type of situation? I've been playing around with the idea, testing various scenarios and feel a little lost. the HMI does store and output various system data, has alarms when thresholds are exceeded, etc - but unless you are looking at it's screen you would never know.

The central collector knows about all hosts, services, service check commands, etc. (Since Nagios ignores passive data for hosts and services it doesn't recognize, it has to know about everything being monitored.) However, the central collector is configured to not run any active checks (except for monitoring the other collectors) and is configured to accept passive check data. The remote collectors are configured to run active service checks on their list of servers (ignoring passive data since they don't receive any) and does not generate any alerts or notifications. All of this is done by having the central collector use slightly modified host and service templates. > Thanks, > > Linus > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.net email is sponsored by > > Make an app they can't live without > Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge > http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev > _______________________________________________ > Nagios-users mailing list > Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users > ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. > ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From standalone.sysadmin at gmail.com Fri Aug 6 04:16:18 2010 From: standalone.sysadmin at gmail.com (Matt Simmons) Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2010 22:16:18 -0400 Subject: Nagios Community Down?

While a single Process is used is should have a cpu usage varying between 10 and 50%. We have the problem that sometimes a process gets stuck and then is running at 100% cpu usage. => this is what we want to check via Nagios. I tried to use check_procs like: ./check_procs -w 80 -c 90 --metric=CPU --command=qemu-system-x86 but this did noch catch the processes. After some testing and searching on the internet I found out that this is depending on how ps calculates the cpu usage: It devides the cputime by the runtime of the process, giving the average cup usage over the whole process time -> which does not really help :-( Does anyone know of an alternative check which gives me the cpu usage actual of a process (or maybe the average over the last minute)?

I think check_http has options for inverting the default check behavior (i.e. return CRITICAL if a string is found) but otherwise you can use negate to accomplish the same thing. I may not be understanding your question fully though - how would you risk creating a false positive here? Do you want to restart the service every time the error message appears on the internal webpage, or do you also want to check if the site is down before restarting?

I'm trying to move toward passive checks, with failover being a active check. For now, my failover check command is just a one liner that returns critical with a message. I'm it's looking like the active check is being run, even when I see the corresponding passive check coming in. I suspect it may be in my configs somewhere, but I'm not sure what is wrong yet. The big kicker of this, is it's not all of my checks. Only some of them. They all have different freshness thresholds, but that doesn't seem to be common. Their configs are the same, but in a different order, and that doesn't seem like the problem either as it's affecting some of one, and not of the other. Any thoughts of what I may be doing wrong?

NRPE is what you want: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf NRPE and the nagios-plugins package + any custom plugins you want to use is usually what you want distributed to your monitored hosts.

I have really had good luck with James Turnbull's "Pro Nagios 2.0" book as well as "Building a Monitoring Infrastructure with Nagios" by David Josephsen. These books both help with deciding the trade offs between check by ssh, nrpe, snmp etc. Greg Pangrazio On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 10:59 AM, Dombrowski, Neil wrote: > I have nagios 3.2.1 installed on a RH5.5 box, and it is monitoring ssh on > > client systems (and host check/ping).

But this does not scale very well. We have a 2 core server, and about 300 hosts, and 1500 checks, and it's loaded the host down pretty bad. If I was to stay doing active checks, I would do NRPE as I have done in the past.

Can you add some static text after $dirtypages in the print statement? Also, can you check the length of $dirtypages - it should tell you if there are any hidden characters being included.

Oh, yeah, this is definitely the problem. Your script doesn't check that you have anything in $dirtypages and you don't check the result of open(). When testing Nagios plugins from the command line make absolutely sure you're running with the same environment that Nagios itself is running as.

We use Nagios for lots of monitoring, and store that data in the RRD database. We graph that data. Life is good. We have some odd thoughts about "what if" scenarios, where we need to further review the data in the RRD database. Simple arithmetic calculations of minus, division, and then some averaging of some of those minus and division outputs. We really do not want to put the monitored data into a SQL database.

You can do it directly with through rrdtool (i.e. 'rrdtool graph...'). CDEF's and VDEF's can have an arbitrary RPN calculation performed on them.

If you have dozens of checks set up this way and they are all set up in crontab to run at */15 then you will get a storm of checks at each 15 minute intervals. I normally make sure I stagger the checks in cron so that they are reasonably evenly spaced. If you have thousands it might also be worth introducing a small random sleep to spread them out even more. I've not had any problems with it myself, but if you have a very busy system, you might need to check that the command buffers aren't filling (run /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagiosstats to list the current Nagios statistics). Check the logs from nsca too. If I recall correctly you may need to set debug=1 in nsca.cfg for a while to get enough information. One problem I sometimes see occurs when the clock on the sending server is way out of sync with the clock on the Nagios server, nsca will complain and not process the check. See this section in the nsca.cfg file: # MAX PACKET AGE OPTION # This option is used by the nsca daemon to determine when client # data is too old to be valid. Keeping this value as small as # possible is recommended, as it helps prevent the possibility of # "replay" attacks. This value needs to be at least as long as # the time it takes your clients to send their data to the server. # Values are in seconds. The max packet age cannot exceed 15 # minutes (900 seconds). If this variable is set to zero (0), no # packets will be rejected based on their age. max_packet_age=30 If I recall, I increased this from some smaller value to make it more forgiving of systems which are a bit out of sync. I hope that's pointed you in the right direction.

As Marc said, you can use rrdgraph to do these things - DRRAW just makes it easier.

It depends what you want do do. I do a lot of simple maths using DRRAW in the CDEF field for each data source or by adding CDEF lines. Don't forget you can hide datasources by setting "-Nothing-" for the line/area type so you can just display the results not the original data. For some things where drraw can't quite cut it, I use rrdgraph outside of DRRAW (typically I use rrdcgi so I can easily publish to the web). See: http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdcgi.en.html I only bother exporting to .xml and import to Excel when I want to do really fancy scatter graphs and regression analysis. If you're going to want the performance data in a database all the time, you might consider changing your Nagios perfdata processing config to output the data to MySQL or whatever instead of or as well as to PNP.

I think that's the thing - the documentation is great for sorting out the nitty-gritty but not always so good for understanding how it's all supposed to work together. What I did, and what I recommend anyone new to Nagios to do is to get hold of one of the books about Nagios - my favourite (and I won't pretend I've read them all) is the one by Wolfgang Barth published by No Starch Press. http://nostarch.com/nagios.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From nagios at herb-j.com Mon Aug 9 20:00:54 2010 From: nagios at herb-j.com (Herb J.)

Your best chance may be to define those values as service macros. That way you would be able to pass them through to your plugin (assuming your plugin accepts WARN and CRIT as command line args) as well as your notification command (possibly a special secondary notification command that adds the WARN and CRIT macro values to the message).

If only ... Seriously though, a warning or critical state in Nagios isn't necessarily anything to do with a threshold. For example, you could have a check_groovy plugin which warns if the colour is silver or white and is critical if the colour is navy or grey. There's no threshold so nothing to store in a macro. If you want to output both warning and critical values, you will need to re-write the plugin to show them explicitly. So, for example if you have a check_mydisk plugin which outputs "warning: disk is 82% (>80%)" you will need to re-code it to say "warning: disk is 82% (> 80% < 90%)" or somesuch instead. Most people who write plugins prefer brevity so you'll rarely see a plugin which (except in the performance data) outputs both. Push comes to shove you could write a wrapper script around an existing plugin which scrapes the warning and critical thresholds from the performance data, but personally I think that would be overkill. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From gregborbonus at gmail.com Mon Aug 9 20:24:21 2010 From: gregborbonus at gmail.com (gregborbonus at gmail.com) Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 18:24:21 +0000 Subject: question about notifications In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <236619588-1281378295-cardhu_decombobulator_blackberry.rim.net-376884322-@bda516.bisx.prod.on.blackberry> Are the command arguments passed in a scope?

Push comes to shove you could write a wrapper script around an existing plugin which scrapes the warning and critical thresholds from the performance data, but personally I think that would be overkill. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From a31modela at hotmail.com Mon Aug 9 21:23:14 2010 From: a31modela at hotmail.com (steve f) Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 15:23:14 -0400 Subject: ? on monitoring the distribution servers Message-ID: I finally got a distributed server up & running in Core 3.x and have a stupid question on monitoring the dist server.

There is no use for "localhost", since it is such an ambiguous hostname. In a distributed setup where there are multiple sources feeding data into a single server, *every* host name must be unique, otherwise they clobber each other's data (as you have noticed). I use the actual FQDN hostnames of the collectors (even the central one) in the configs. When there is an issue with a service on one of the collectors, it shows up in the interface under that particular collector's hostname, so I know exactly which one is broken.

"ps -ocputime" will give you the total cputime used since the process started. You could code a plugin which stores this then next time it's run will calculate the %cpu from the difference between the old and new values. It's a bit of a dirty solution, but this kind of thing is done in some of the snmp plugins for checking interface traffic counters for example http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_int.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From jim at jimavery.me.uk Tue Aug 10 09:06:51 2010 From: jim at jimavery.me.uk (Jim Avery) Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:06:51 +0100 Subject: check_proc --metric=CPU - alternatives?

The only way to do this now is to create a different service with each check_period. To do this, I would need to create 50-100 different service definitions for each check_period. It makes much more sense for the service to inherit the hosts check_period value and use this for the service. This allows me to only define one service. Does anyone know of a way to get this to work, or has anyone created a patch for 3.2.x to do this?

However, I am running into issues. The first is the following: Whenever I select Map -> Add Icon -> Host, I need to do that process twice before the menu appears on-screen. The second issue is more problematic. Whenever I try to add a host, I go through the motions of selecting the host_name, and then entering the x and y coordinates. Even though I have done that, I am still getting an error that reads: A necessary value is not set. All red marked values are compulsory values. What am I doing wrong here, and how can I fix it?

As everyone else has already said, the best way appears to be within the agent, not the notification. I found this useful for disk checks, where the thresholds in my environment often vary from machine to machine, depending on how large the disks are, likely fill rate, etc. I wrote an SNMP disk check that puts the threshold in the email alerts: DISK WARNING - [Threshold=90%, 91% full,4.9gb free on /home] and also the Nagios status page: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/image/429 The bottom image is the HTML version (can toggle in the agent) that includes the tiny blue image.

Your best bet is probably the Wikipedia entry for SNMP (which focuses more on the protocol and less on using snmp to actually monitor stuff) or the net-snmp project's FAQ and documentation (http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/FAQ.html). Your first step should be to determine if the tools from net-snmp are able to successfully scrape data from the target device. Once you're able to do that using the 'snmpwalk' or 'snmpget' set of commands, you'll be in good shape to have Nagios pull information from target devices. Trying to debug SNMP through Nagios is far harder than doing it via the commandline. -Gius > -----Original Message----- > From: Luc MAIGNAN [mailto:luc.maignan at winxpert.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 8:24 AM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios & SNMP > > Well, in fact no.

HI, 

 ? 

I am using Nagios 3.2. When I checked? the web
documentation : 

 ? 

>> Unless you've changed the interval_length directive
from the default value of 60, this number will mean minutes 

 ? 

But when I checked the nagios.cfg file: 

 ? 

# INTERVAL LENGTH 

# This is the seconds per unit interval as used in the 

# host/contact/service configuration files.? Setting
this to 60 means 

# that each interval is one minute long (60 seconds). 

 ? 

So the time interval unit is in Minutes or Seconds????? 

 ? 

Thanks in advance 

 ? 

Nobuo

Hi,

I  have my network being monitored with Nagios, only that the security  policy 
here does not allow access to Linux hosts without a key. I can not access the 
linux hosts with password, key only. How to configure Nagios to log in hosts 
with key?

 
Thanks,
Cau?.

You don't state what part of the documentation you were reading, but I
strongly suspect you were reading about check_interval,
retry_interval, or notification interval.  Those are measured in
"intervals", the length of which is set by the interval_length
variable in the configuration.  The interval length is in seconds and
is set in the config file near where you quoted below.

Here you can set the interval length....

So, if you have interval_length = 60, then each interval is 60
seconds, if you set interval_length=5, then each interval is 5
seconds.  The default is to have a 1 minute (60 second) interval, so a
service with check_interval=5 will be checked every 5 minutes.

Illustrative Example: You want to run some checks every 15 seconds,
some every 40 and the rest every 5 minutes.  You need to set
interval_length=5 (global setting), then on the 15 second checks,
check_interval=3; on the 40 second ones, check_interval=8; and on the
rest, check_interval=60.

Note that those numbers were used due to 5 seconds being the lowest
common denominator.  I suspect that using the longest possible
interval will be more efficient for scheduling, and make no claims as
to what will happen if a new interval begins before all checks
executing in the prior interval are completed.

Will you send us next the host configuration file, so we can see how you are

The check_http plugin is quite 'dumb' in that it's not a browser, so
if the website you are trying to check has anything clever which
checks the browser type it might fail.

Also note that typically check_http doesn't get past proxy servers.
There are some options to check_http which will get you past ordinary
proxy servers - try running check_http with the --help option to see
what those options are.  Get the check_http command running ok from
the command line in Linux before you try to configure the command and
service definitions in Nagios for it.

If you're unlucky enough to have an ISA proxy server between your
Nagios server and the internet, you need to install and configure
something called ntlmaps to allow you to get through to the external
web sites (I'm not familiar with ntlmaps on Centos so I won't attempt
to tell you how to configure it).  I warn you that whenever I've used
ntlmaps it's been quite resource-hungry.

Another issue may be that there could be some firewall or other
between you and the web sites you are trying to monitor.

As a start, I would pick a web server which is in your local network
and check that (hint: Nagios itself is on a web server).  When that is
working okay, then try monitoring the external web sites and
troubleshooting why they're not reporting ok.

hth,

Jim

I have a situation where I would like to apply a multiplier to the results of a check_snmp output.

The situation is this:

The value received from my check_snmp = 20717.  The integer multiplier for this particular OID is 0.01.

The output I want reported to Nagios is 20717 x 0.01 = 207.17.

Looking through the options of the check_snmp plugin, I can't determine how I could accomplish this.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

TIA

Subject: ICMP Blocked - Windows Host
Message-ID: 

Hi all,

I am using NSClient++ to monitor several Windows boxes. It is not possible to allow ICMP echo on these boxes.

For this reason, I can monitor processes and services but the host itself shows as up.

Is there a way around this?
Is it possible to do a check other than ping to show a host status of up?


Thanks


Shane

+1 to that!

I was doing some monitoring on a UPS yesterday and found the current
is given as an integer which is 10x the Amps, so it would be great to
be able to divide by 10 (or multiply by whatever) in check_snmp.

Yes, the host check can be anything you like.  Something like check_nt
-V client_version would do the trick (forgive me if my syntax isn't
quite right - going from memory).

You could alternatively do an snmp query of the switch port the host
is connected to, but that's a bit complicated I guess.

I certainly wish I could do that.  I'm just a novice.

I can basically accomplish what I want (in regards to multiplying the output) with snmpget.

printf "scale=2;%d*0.01\n" $(snmpget -v 1 -c public 192.168.104.37 .enterprises.6347.1.1.17 -O Qve)|bc

208.72

Any thoughts surrounding how I could run this as an external command and pipe it back into nagios?

Subject: Send_nsca problem
Message-ID: <157C8D865C773D4791AACA62211D22D51BA27EBD13@email.epsway.local>

Hello,

I have what I think is a very basic problem but I cannot seem to locate it. I believe it to be a permissions issue.
I'm attempting to use send_nsca to forward received syslog traffic to the Nagios process.

This article describes using using syslog to forward to send_nsca and then to a Nagios server running nsca:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Log-File-Management/Syslog%252Dng-Integration-Tool/details

I'm attempting something similar except with a twist; the basic idea is this:
1. Syslog receives messages from clients.
2. A script parses syslog and sends the info to send_nsca process on the same host.
3. Send_nsca sends to nsca running on this host
4. NSCA forwards to Nagios.

I've successfully got Nagios and NSCA running. At this point I want to test send_nsca with the following command:
send_nsca locahost -c /usr/local/nagios/nsca-2.7.2/sample-config/ < /home/nagios/test

The test file contaings:
localhostTestMessage0This is a test message.

After running this file, I get this in my /var/log/messages file:
Aug 12 22:16:54 . nsca[25712]: Handling the connection...
Aug 12 22:16:54 . nsca[25712]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host name: 'localhost', Service Description: 'Test Message', Return Code: '0', Output: 'This is a test message.'
Aug 12 22:16:54 . nsca[25712]: Command file '/var/spool/nagios/cmd/nagios.cmd' does not exist, attempt to use alternate dump file '/var/spool/nagios/cmd/nsca.dump' for output
Aug 12 22:16:54 . nsca[25712]: Could not open alternate dump file '/var/spool/nagios/cmd/nsca.dump' for appending
Aug 12 22:16:54 . nsca[25712]: End of connection...

Can anyone suggest where I may be going wrong here?

NSCA.CFG
nsca_user=nagios
nsca_group=nagcmd
nsca_chroot=/var/spool/nagios/cmd
command_file=/var/spool/nagios/cmd/nagios.cmd
alternate_dump_file=/var/spool/nagios/cmd/nsca.dump

NAGIOS.CFG
nagios_user=nagios
nagios_group=nagios
command_file=/var/spool/nagios/cmd/nagios.cmd

If I ls -haltr on /var/spool/nagios/cmd I get the following:

Message-ID: 

I have written and maintain a perl library that extends Nagios::Plugin
- it is called Nagios::Plugin::SNMP.

It is available on CPAN and while it does not take the complexity out
of SNMP data it does simplify writing plugins that retrieve SNMP data.

The team I am on at my job uses it extensively - you might find it
helpful for creating custom plugins tht need to not only retrieve but
also cook SNMP data before doing thresholding on it.

Message-ID: 

You can add an executable to your snmpd.conf file to execute your snmpget
locally, receive the output and modify it to your heart's content. To run
executables:

-- On your nagios server:
/check_snmp -H  -C
  -o
enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extResult.<###>,enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extOutput.<###>
-w 0 -c 1

The variables you'll need to supply are:
  - The IP of the remote host
 - Self-explanatory
<###> - The number of the "exec" in snmpd.conf (see below)

-- On your remote server
In /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:

exec GENERIC_NAME_OF_CHECK /usr/local/bin/modify_output.sh


## If the above line is the only 'exec' directive in your snmpd.conf, then
the <###> above will be a 1, if it's the third exec directive, it will be a
3, and so on....

Now, in /usr/local/bin/modify_output.sh

!#/bin/bash

## Execute your snmpget here and capture it in a variable
output=`snmpget -v 1 -c public localhost .enterprises.6347.1.1.17 -O Qve`
## $output now should hold something akin to 20717 or whatever the actual
output is

## Check for zero
if [ "$output" = "0" ]
then
## Some error here:
echo "OOPS! This is zero. Why?"
exit 1
fi

## Ok, it's not zero, divide by 100 or multiply by .01
modified_output=`expr $output \* .01` ## Note the backslash escaping the *
echo $modified_output


Restart snmpd

Now, from nagios, run the command above, which will call out to the snmpd
server on the remote host, find the <###>th 'exec' entry in snmpd.conf,
execute the shell script, and return whatever you echo out from within your
shell script.

Remember that check_snmp only returns one line, so any line breaks, etc will
be lost when it's run from the nagios server.

Hope this helps!

Subject: displaying multiple lines of output in the GUI
Message-ID: 

Hi,
I've upgraded nrpe to 2.12 and got multiple lines output from NRPE, and on
the nagios server, I can see multiple lines in the "Service State
Information" dialog box when clicked on the service link. However, on the
main page, only 1 long line shows up and the 2nd line is cut off.
Is it possible to have multiple lines of output per service on the 'main'
page? Please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks.

Message-ID: <826260.8972.qm@web45114.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>


Hi All,

I was trying to understand from this example below. Can someone please explain me(considering newbie) this simple example on it's flow, the stages and the actions/events etc...
Why the rows form 2-5 says State change = Yes consecutively ?

This is from the bottommost example in this link (in case the below pasted one is unclear)-

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

Example

Here's an example of how state types are determined, when state changes occur, and when event handlers and notifications are sent out. The table below shows consecutive checks of a service over time. The service has a max_check_attempts value of 3.
Time	Check #	State	State Type	State Change	Notes
0	1	OK	HARD	No	Initial state of the service
1	1	CRITICAL	SOFT	Yes	First detection of a non-OK state. Event handlers execute.
2	2	WARNING	SOFT	Yes	Service continues to be in a non-OK state. Event handlers execute.
3	3	CRITICAL	HARD	Yes	Max check attempts has been reached, so service goes into a HARD state. Event handlers execute and a problem notification is sent out. Check # is reset to 1 immediately after this happens.
4	1	WARNING	HARD	Yes	Service changes to a HARD WARNING state. Event handlers execute and a problem notification is sent out.
5	1	WARNING	HARD	No	Service stabilizes in a HARD problem state. Depending on what the notification interval for the service is, another notification might be sent out.
6	1	OK	HARD	Yes	Service experiences a HARD recovery. Event handlers execute and a recovery notification is sent out.
7	1	OK	HARD	No	Service is still OK.
8	1	UNKNOWN	SOFT	Yes	Service is detected as changing to a SOFT non-OK state. Event handlers execute.
9	2	OK	SOFT	Yes	Service experiences a SOFT recovery. Event handlers execute, but notification are not sent, as this wasn't a "real" problem. State type is set HARD and check # is reset to 1 immediately after this happens.
10	1	OK	HARD	No	Service stabilizes in an OK state.


Thanks in advance,
sena

Yes, the host check can be anything you like.  Something like check_nt -V client_version would do the trick (forgive me if my syntax isn't quite right - going from memory).

You could alternatively do an snmp query of the switch port the host is connected to, but that's a bit complicated I guess.

Thanks this was nearly what I was looking for ;-)

It solves my calculation problem but it seams that it only counts the
whole CPU usage for all processes.

I have about 60 processes (with the same name) and need to get an alert
if ONE (or more) of them uses mor than 90% CPU.

Did I miss the right option?

Or ss there a similar script that covers my needs?

Regards
Sebastian Ries

If you want a head start, I can heartily recommend the book 'Nagios'
by Wofgang Barth, published by No Starch Press.  It explains how
everything fits together in Nagios really well.  Obviously keep asking
here too.

Cheers,

Jim

According to the documentation, the -n option is used to give a regex
which selects which process(es) you are monitoring and the -u option
should work on the sum of the CPU for those selected processes only.

The example given is:

./check_snmp_process.pl -H 127.0.0.1 -C public -n http -w 3,8 -c 0,15
-m 9,25 -u 70,99

which should alert if the total cpu of all processes haveing 'http' in
the name is > 70.

To get the plugin to do exactly what you describe, you will need to
edit the perl code a bit.  Bear in mind that you can never have more
than one process using >90% cpu in the same period!

Subject: What Switch Metric Are You Monitoring
Message-ID: 

I'm currently on Nagios Core 3.2.1 and I'm just starting to setup
monitoring of our network switches. Can someone share what switch
metrics they are recording (and find most useful). Just now, I'm only
registering PING and Uptime (through SMNP). Also how are you handling
parent/child relationships for the switches/ports etc? Basically if a
switch is down, then I would only want to receive and alert regarding
this and not anything else related to the port or device connected to
the port.

Subject: What Switch Metric Are You Monitoring
Message-ID: 

Hello Rab,

 

I monitor the following services on my Cisco Switches.

 

Ping

Uplink status + bandwidth utilisation

CPU (Avg 5 mins)

Environment (FAN, PSU) 



If my server was connected to the network as below:



Server1 => Switch1 => Switch2 => Localhost (Nagios)

 

I would configure the parent/child relationship this way.

 

Server1 Parent = Switch1
Switch1 Parent = Switch2

Switch2 Parent  = Localhost

If you do this you will end up with the Nagios network map looking like
your network documentation.  Also If switch2 does down Nagios will
assume Switch1 and Server1 are also unavailable and will suppress
notifications.

I have also setup service dependencies so that all my switch as follows


define servicedependency {

       dependent_host_name                      HPK3044

       dependent_service_description            CPU 5 min
average,Environmental monitoring,Link to HPD-LRE Bandwidth,Link to
HPD-LRE Status,Link to HPKDC1 Bandwidth,Link to HPKDC1 Status,Vlan 1
Bandwidth,Vlan 1 Status

       host_name                                HPK3044

       service_description                      Ping

       inherits_parent                          1

       execution_failure_criteria               w,u,c

       notification_failure_criteria            w,u,c

       dependency_period                        24x7  

This makes all the monitored services on the switch dependant on the
switch being pingable.  If the ping service is in the warning, critical
or unknown state all the other services will not produce notifications. 

 

 

Hope this helps

Chris Macleod

And I want to get an alert if ANY of these processes uses more than the

Not really true ;-)
As this machine has 8 real CPU-Cores with HT enabled there can be up to
16 Processes with more than 90% CPU usage ;-)

I will have a look in the perl code. Maybe it is a only small
adaption...

This is what I tried but as I described all processes have the same
name :-(

I wrote one.  I cant find it online anymore but here it is:

Tries to use top if in linux, in solaris and aix i have a new version of
top installed into my nagios tree, otherwise it falls back on prstat or ps

feel free to use, might be buggy though!

I configure the switch to send traps to the Nagios server (received
using snmptrapd and processed using snmptt), and configure the switch
so that traps are sent if switch-switch links go up/down but not
ordinary switch ports with servers and PCs on.

Other than that, I monitor link bandwidth where it really interests
me, for example on the ports serving our most busy systems and one or
two which link main data centres together.

The usual rule with Nagios parent relationships is that the parent is
the device closer to the Nagios server than the child.  Don't forget
you can have more than one parent if that's how your network is.

Jim

This seems to be the problem right here. I upgraded to nagios 3.2.1  
from 3.2.0 and nagios now honors my thresholds properly. I looked at  
the change log and didn't see this listed as a fix, but maybe I'm just  
blind.

Either way, this is the fix (upgrading) for those that follow in my  
foot steps.

Thanks,

Charlie

I would like to exclude a host from the status map. Is there a way to accomplish this?  Basically, I am trying to monitor

I don't think you can do that unless you use an alternative map addon
like NexSM for example.

You could maybe monitor the IP Aliases as services rather than hosts?

Shane

I currently doing a similar thing to check for delivery delay and did
not find any existing plugins that do that.
I wrote a couple of scripts one to send email via gmail "with the time
stamp in the subject field" and a second script to check the Exchange
mailbox and calculate diffelrence between the received time stamp and
the sent time stamp in the subject field. 
I completed these scripts and need to finish the last script to
calculate the delay and pass the values it to Nagios.

The scripts are written in perl, if you are interested I will post them.

Hi,

I would like to monitor email delivery.

I'm using microsoft exchange and I want to automate a message to
echo at esat.net - this is an autoresponding address with an ISP.


Does anyone have a method for this?

C'mon, people, where did you look?

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Email-and-Groupware/check_email_delivery/details

This package contains multiple plugins, that when they are all set
up, will check your mail delivery system end-to-end.  While the
initial configuration gave me some gray hairs, it has been monitoring
our Exchange environment for many months now and has caught everything
I'd expect it to.

No worries...  Configuration was a pain, but it works *very* well.
It will alert when the message sent is not received, as well as
when message delivery latency exceeds your thresholds.  Very
nice.

NOTE:  Make it a part of your scheduled maintenance to manually
check the inbox of the account you're delivering to - there *will*
be occasional timeouts, and the test messages can tend to accumulate
if you don't have a method to clean them up periodically.

Subject: Sane (ab)use of escalations?
Message-ID: <1281911307.8120.113.camel@wiltop>


We are in the process of rebuilding our Nagios setup, which is an
ancient 1.x installation, to 3.2.1.

We want to re-implement the following policy for notifications:
 * During the work day, everyone in contactgroup gets notifications
 * Outside of working hours,
   * On-call person gets paged immediately
   * Everyone in contactgroup gets paged after 5 notifications

This is currently implemented by having 2 contact objects for every
user, one for work-hours and one for off-hours, each with appropriate
*_notification_periods. Notifications go to all N*2 contacts and the
individual contact's notification periods handles whether or not to
page.

I believe we can implement the policy using escalations. First, all
hosts & services have a contact that delivers notifications to a shared
IMAP folder, to get around the requirement of these objects having
contacts.

Next, to implement the work-hours piece, a service escalation such as:

define serviceescalation {
  hostgroup_name 	unix-hosts
  service_description	*
  contact_groups 	unix-admins
  first_notification 	1
  last_notification 	0
  escalation_period 	work-hours
}

And a corresponding hostescalation.

To implement the off-hours piece, escalations such as:

define serviceescalation {
  hostgroup_name	unix-hosts
  contact_groups	on-call
  service_description 	*
  first_notification 	1
  last_notification 	0
  escalation_period 	off-hours
}

define serviceescalation {
  hostgroup_name	unix-hosts
  contact_groups	unix-admins
  service_description 	*
  first_notification	5
  last_notification	0
  escalation_options	c
  escalation_period	off-hours
}

With this setup, all "real" notifications happen through these
escalations, in effect using them as a "servicenotification" object,
which kinda seems better from a data-normalization perspective (but
IANADBA).

Does this seem like it should work as I expect? Can anyone see any
problems? I have not actually tried this, so I don't know if it works.

As an aside, does anyone have any ideas of how to test this kind of
thing? Perhaps submitting passive check results and having timeperiods
of "oddminutes" and "evenminutes"?

Subject: [Nagios-users] What Switch Metric Are You Monitoring



I'm currently on Nagios Core 3.2.1 and I'm just starting to setup
monitoring of our network switches. Can someone share what switch
metrics they are recording (and find most useful). Just now, I'm only
registering PING and Uptime (through SMNP). Also how are you handling
parent/child relationships for the switches/ports etc? Basically if a
switch is down, then I would only want to receive and alert regarding
this and not anything else related to the port or device connected to
the port.

Regards,

Rab.

Message-ID: 

I just migrated to a 3.2.1 instance, from a 3.0.6 instance, with the same 
configuration.  Now I have some UNKNOWN results that are generating a 
notification every five minutes.  The notification interval on the 
services is 720 minutes, and same for the service escalation.

Every five minutes I'm getting a new email from the services, and the 
notification counts in the ui still reads '0'.

Anyone seen this before?

Hi All,

 

I am planning to configure all the servers in my client environment in
two Nagios servers(in two different locations) in order to create Back
up.

 

Please let me know whether there will be any overload on the servers as
two Nagios servers will be polling them.

 

 

Thanks,

Subject: embedded option in cgi
Message-ID: 

Hi guys,
  I'm integrating nagios in an homemade monitoring and asset
management solution, with dokuwiki and request tracker. In order to
accomplish it, I need the cgi not to print  part of the page.
running through the code, I've found out that I've to pass the
"embedded=true" option. Awesome; Exactly what I was looking for. But
the links in the generated page will not inherit the "embedded"
options, so, with the next click I will receive a complete HTML page.
I did not find any cgi.conf option for adding a "static" part to all
links.
Before I'll start to patch all CGIs, do you have some advice?

thanks in advance
Diego

Subject: Using two nagios servers...
Message-ID: 

Your servers will probably be fine servicing the extra Nagios polling,
unless they are overloaded already.

 

Since I run Nagios on virtual machines, however, I tried to keep the
load on my failover Nagios server minimized.  My failover Nagios server
runs a cron job that uses the check_nagios plugin to monitor the state
of the primary Nagios server.  If the primary server is up and running,
the failover server will just rsync the state and configuration files
from the primary.  If the primary server becomes unavailable, the cron
job will start the Nagios service on the failover server and keep it
running until it detects the primary has recovered.

Hi all,

 

We are testing with "Fully Automated Nagios". Have installed and started

    monitoring 2 Windows 2003 servers. But we can't get notification to
work.

 

When we certify Nagios installation we get the following error 

send-mail: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: local
host

 

    What does "notify-host-by-mail" mean? Is the notification send to host
only.

    How can we make FAN send mails?

 

    We have an internal mail server, and are trying to send notifications to
an

    ID there. Connectivity is fine, have entered the id in contacts.cfg
file.

 

    We have installed NSClient++ in these servers, but the host server,
shows

    connection refused, there is no firewall!

 

    Please help!!

      Ananth.

Subject: Mail notification problem
Message-ID: 

Hi all,



We are testing with "Fully Automated Nagios". Have installed and started

    monitoring 2 Windows 2003 servers. But we can't get notification to
work.



When we certify Nagios installation we get the following error

send-mail: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: local
host



    What does "notify-host-by-mail" mean? Is the notification send to host
only.

    How can we make FAN send mails?



    We have an internal mail server, and are trying to send notifications to
an

    ID there. Connectivity is fine, have entered the id in contacts.cfg
file.



    We have installed NSClient++ in these servers, but the host server,
shows

    connection refused, there is no firewall!



    Please help!!

      Ananth.

It might help if you shared:
1) your Nagios config (all of it)
2) your email config
3) the result of a test by telnetting to your mailserver and faking a
mail transaction similar to what you're trying to do.

This might seem fairly intuitive to some, but not to others, so I'm
explicitly suggesting.  In general, detail is useful -- if you're
afraid to spam a maillist that reaches thousands, then simply provide
the same detail at a URL where it can be downloaded, and just give the
URL in your message.

NOT providing detail merely means people may have to ask for it --
ultimately delaying your solution -- or waste time guessing.

As Dave Stern points out, it might not be a Nagios problem if your
mail server -- for whatever reason -- won't let the nagios user or the
Nagios server box send a message... ie it's not Nagios' issue if the
mailserver refuses, regardless what attempts are made.

Please ensure you have your mailserver administrator onboard with what
you're doing.

If the collection of this background data and discussion with your
mailserver admin resolves the issue, please let us know :)

Does anyone know how to configure nagios to display multiple lines output in
the CGI? We're using nagios 3.2.0 and apparently, having multiple lines in
the cgi is not done automagically.
Thank you.

Subject: nagios plugins return code issue
Message-ID: 

Hello all,
 
I've googled around everywhere trying to find an answer here and came up unsuccessful, so if anyone has had experience in this situation, I'd appreciate help!  
 
Basically, the issue that I'm having is that I have a couple of temperature plugins that are reporting errors in Nagios and at the command line they're exiting in 0:
 
check7204temp.pl  - Return code of 255 is out of bounds
and
checkciscotemp.pl - Return code of 9 is out of bounds
 
If I run a "echo $?" at the command line after running the command successfully, I get 0.
 
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!  My perms are 755 and nagios user owns the plugins and I've run successfully with nagios user and got 0 output.  I'm really stumped!!
 
Here's the code for the plugins:

  This probably means that a subroutine from one of the used perl 
libraries is bailing out with an error, although why I don't know.  Are 
you sure you're passing all of the arguments the same on the command 
line as Nagios is?  One thing that I can tell you is that those plugins 
are out of date, since they use the old value of -1 for Unknown which 
should be 3 now, so who knows what other issues there are.  (Sorry I 
can't tell you more - I don't really do Perl.)

Additionally, Nagios is really sensitive about how the Perl script is 
written. It should be written well-enough to run with "use strict" 
without any errors. (I see that it is commented out of both of your 
scripts.) Additionally, the embedded Perl interpreter causes the scripts 
to be run in what I consider to be a somewhat "non-standard" way in 
regards to how the parameters are sent to the script. (In our 
installation we have to surround host and service macros with quotes 
before sending them to any plugins written in Perl.) The copyright date 
on that file is 2000, so you will definitely want to find (or write) a 
more up to date version.

Subject: Bonding/Teaming Monitoring
Message-ID: 

My current situation is that I have 2 core switches (Cisco 2960G's) in a
failover capability. Every one of our servers (Windows, RHEL & Solaris)
has NIC bonding/teaming enabled and obviously one switch serves network
access to NIC #0, the other switch serves network access to NIC #1.

I'm looking for the best way to setup failover monitoring of the switch
ports and server connections under my setup.

I don't use Cisco kit myself, but I would guess you would get the
relevant alerts by configuring your switches to send snmp traps.
You'll need to configure snmptrapd on your Nagios server to receive
them and use snmptt to get them in to Nagios one way or another
(either via the command interface or via a database using NagTrap for
example).

hth,

Jim

Thanks for the reply Jim,

I take it I'm looking at duplicating hosts and services if I choose not
to go down the route of the switches sending traps (just seems like more
work I can do without)? I was kind of thinking the switches would be
parents of the ports which in turn would be parents of the network

I don't use Cisco kit myself, but I would guess you would get the
relevant alerts by configuring your switches to send snmp traps.
You'll need to configure snmptrapd on your Nagios server to receive
them and use snmptt to get them in to Nagios one way or another
(either via the command interface or via a database using NagTrap for
example).

That's one way of doing it.  Personally I think it's overkill to
monitor individual switch ports for each server, although there are
always going to be some cases when it's useful to do so.  For ordinary
single-homed hosts, if the switch port is down the host check for the
server will fail anyway - I'm not sure it helps a great deal then to
monitor the individual switch port.  It's all horses for courses
though - ultimately it's for you to decide what is important to you.

Subject: Possibility of service check rescheduling problem
Message-ID: <201008171138.AA02275@S2007337.jp.fujitsu.com>

Hello all.

I would like to confirm if there is such possibility that , whenever program restart occurs, service check
resume properly as it is stored in the state retention file. 

In this condition , following options are activated in nagios.cfg:

State retention option
State retention file
Retention update interval
Use retained program state
Use retained scheduling info

Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you

If you want to monitor ports you could probably check the port status from the switch via snmp and add that as a dependency to the server.  You could also check the port status of the bonded nics via snmp on the server itself.  No need to duplicate anything.

Subject: Mail notification problem
Message-ID: 

Hi Allan,

Thanks for writing... our test environment is as follows.

Server is Windows 2003 Server with 2GB RAM, we downloaded Fully Automated
Nagios from http://fannagioscd.sourceforge.net/drupal/

Using VMPlayer we created a new virtual machine and installed using the fan
iso image.

Nagios version 3.0.6.

After full installation we set up IP, routes and dns and access using the
web interface.

Installed NSClient++ in 2 windows servers and edited the nsc.ini file also.

edited the nagios.cfg file and windows.cfg

we entered the mail address for notification to be send to in contacts.cfg
file. the mail id is an intranet id and is in the same network as the nagios
ipaddr. is there any other file where we have to enter smtp settings and
all... we haven't set the mail server settings anywhere couldn't find where
that has to be set!! mail server ip is 192.168.3.240 and nagios server ip is
192.18.3.241.

and when we give nagios verification we get the below error. telnet also
resulted in connection refused.

we strongly suspect that mail settings are not complete.. but donno where to
enter those details. the only entry we made is adding sysadmin at toonz.com in
contacts.cfg file. nowhere we have entered the mail server ipaddress!!

Please advice.... after this we have more queries!!! :-)

It might help if you shared:
1) your Nagios config (all of it)
2) your email config
3) the result of a test by telnetting to your mailserver and faking a
mail transaction similar to what you're trying to do.

This might seem fairly intuitive to some, but not to others, so I'm
explicitly suggesting.  In general, detail is useful -- if you're
afraid to spam a maillist that reaches thousands, then simply provide
the same detail at a URL where it can be downloaded, and just give the
URL in your message.

NOT providing detail merely means people may have to ask for it --
ultimately delaying your solution -- or waste time guessing.

As Dave Stern points out, it might not be a Nagios problem if your
mail server -- for whatever reason -- won't let the nagios user or the
Nagios server box send a message... ie it's not Nagios' issue if the
mailserver refuses, regardless what attempts are made.

Please ensure you have your mailserver administrator onboard with what
you're doing.

If the collection of this background data and discussion with your
mailserver admin resolves the issue, please let us know :)

Hi all,

 

We are testing with "Fully Automated Nagios". Have installed and started

work.

 

When we certify Nagios installation we get the following error 

send-mail: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: local
host

 

    What does "notify-host-by-mail" mean? Is the notification send to host
only.

    How can we make FAN send mails?

 

    We have an internal mail server, and are trying to send notifications to
an

    ID there. Connectivity is fine, have entered the id in contacts.cfg

    We have installed NSClient++ in these servers, but the host server,
shows

    connection refused, there is no firewall!

 

    Please help!!

Subject: Host not defined
Message-ID: 

Hello,

This should be simple, but for some reason I can't get my nagios config to validate with a new server I want to monitor.  I am monitoring plenty of hosts, but this is the first one I've used the "check_http" command for.  I am following the examples found here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-publicservices.html

I am using Nagios Core 3.2.0.

The error message during validation is "Error: Host 'HGSec' specified in service 'HTTP' not defined anywhere!"

And here is my simple config.

define host {
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               HGSec
        alias                   HGSec
        address                 X.X.X.X
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_interval           30
        notification_options            d,r
        contact_groups                  admins
        register                        0
}

define service {
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               HGSec
        service_description     HTTP
        check_command           check_http
}

I'm sure I am overlooking something simple and I feel like I've been banging my head against a wall.  I probably just need to walk away from this and come back...  I just want to make sure the HTTP service is running on this server.  Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Nate

Subject: Host Groups / Definitions
Message-ID: 

Hi guys,

I'm monitoring a number of Windows servers and so far I am using only the templates provided.

I would like to split my servers up using host groups so I will have each site and then the datacentre.
I'm not sure how to go about this... although I have read the documentation I'm not understanding.

Could someone please briefly outline this?



Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards,

Shane

did you check the section of the nagios.cfg that lists whcih files and 
directories it loads the host/services definitions from ?
and made sure the host entry is in one of those files/directories ?

You never registered the host.  (register is set to '0')

Shane

In the definitions of each host ( or template ) you have an option of 
defining the "hostgroup" this will group several host in to a group and 
will display them as a logical group . A host can be part of many host 
groups - there is not restriction on a host belonging to one hostgroup.

To give an example , let say we have a host group "Dublin" that we want 
to hold the hosts " city " , "airport" and "dock" , and a hostgroup 
"Cork" to hold hosts "jazz" , "quay" and "south" .

Once you defined that , you can manage the nagios to allocate services 
to a hostgroup Cork - and those services will be checked on that host group.


Does that help clarify it a bit more ?

Gonna take a stab at this for you. Newer Nagios guy here as well. Here is a basic start....


You use a hostgroup.cfg file to create a group 

i.e   

define hostgroup{

        hostgroup_name          Remote_Hosts

        alias                           Remote Hosts

        members                 list names of all the windows servers here seperated by commas

        }

Now in your service.cfg or command.cfg file, where it says host_name, you replace the entire host_name line with the following :

#      host_name                              some windows server name

        hostgroup_name                  Remote_Hosts

Make sure your nagios.cfg file shows the path top the hostgroup.cfg file

Verify the config & restart/reload nagios.

Now the check you do will run against the hostgroup instead of a rambling list of hosts.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Thanks for the suggestion.  I have the following:

# This should give me generic-host
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg

# This is where the config I sent in my previous email is located
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/servers

So that should do it?  The config I displayed below are in the servers folder in the file hgsec.cfg.

Thanks,
Nate

Subject: Mail notification problem
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: 

Hi,

 

Smart host is a type of mail relay server which allows an SMTP server to
route e-mail to an intermediate mail server rather than directly to the
recipient's server. Often this smart host requires authentication from the
sender to verify that the sender has privileges to have mail forwarded
through the smart host. This is an important distinction from an open relay
that will forward mail from the sender without authentication

 

So, can you add your email server details under smart host to receive the
notification.

 

Here is my configuration file

 

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)

DSmyserver.net

Kiran

Hi all,

 

We are testing with "Fully Automated Nagios". Have installed and started

    monitoring 2 Windows 2003 servers. But we can't get notification to
work.

 

When we certify Nagios installation we get the following error 

send-mail: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: local
host

 

    What does "notify-host-by-mail" mean? Is the notification send to host
only.

    How can we make FAN send mails?

 

    We have an internal mail server, and are trying to send notifications to
an

    ID there. Connectivity is fine, have entered the id in contacts.cfg
file.

 

    We have installed NSClient++ in these servers, but the host server,
shows

    connection refused, there is no firewall!

 

    Please help!!

      Ananth.

In-Reply-To:

Message-ID: 

Thanks guys,

So for example I have the windows.cfg file.
I should define all windows servers here?

That file contains the following portion:
# Define a hostgroup for Windows machines
# All hosts that use the windows-server template will automatically be a member of this group

define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name              windows-servers              ; The name of the hostgroup
alias                        Windows Servers              ; Long name of the group
                }


Do I need to remove this?
Then, define each host group in the hostgroup.cfg file (I mean literally, a file called hostgroup.cfg file - I know that's a stupid question but I need to ask!).
Define the members in this file also.

Then in the windows.cfg file, under each process or service define each host group that the check should be run against e.g.

define service{
                use                                          generic-service
                hostgroup_name          Datacenter
                service_description         NSClient++ Version
                check_command                               check_nt!CLIENTVERSION
               }

Correct?


Kind Regards,

Shane

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Host Groups / Definitions

Gonna take a stab at this for you. Newer Nagios guy here as well. Here is a basic start....


You use a hostgroup.cfg file to create a group

i.e

define hostgroup{

        hostgroup_name          Remote_Hosts

        alias                           Remote Hosts

        members                 list names of all the windows servers here seperated by commas

        }

Now in your service.cfg or command.cfg file, where it says host_name, you replace the entire host_name line with the following :

#      host_name                              some windows server name

        hostgroup_name                  Remote_Hosts

Make sure your nagios.cfg file shows the path top the hostgroup.cfg file

Verify the config & restart/reload nagios.

Now the check you do will run against the hostgroup instead of a rambling list of hosts.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Hi guys,

I'm monitoring a number of Windows servers and so far I am using only the templates provided.

I would like to split my servers up using host groups so I will have each site and then the datacentre.
I'm not sure how to go about this... although I have read the documentation I'm not understanding.

Could someone please briefly outline this?



Thanks for your help!

Shane

removing the template is not necessary unless you with to use the 
hostgroup name yourself.
if you don't assign hosts to the group it will have not impact ( except 
for an empty group in the cgi) .

As for the file name - I use the same naming conventions for my nagios 
config - it is easy to understand what the file purpose is and will also 
be good for the next person to be taking over .

As for the service definitions , once you defined the host group 
"Datacenter" and assigned the hosts to the group , then the service 
definition you gave will be correct .

I would second this suggestion.  I've been trying it out in the office 
here, and it seems WAY simpler than the traditional method for 
distributed setups.  The one caution I'll give with that is that it only 
distributes the checks, so if you have for instances pnp4nagios for 
performance graphs that load will still be centralized.

I wrote a script last week meant to aid in the installation of DNX - you 
can download that from 
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/scripts/NagiosXI-DNX.sh and 
let me know how it works for you.  Unfortunately I don't have 
documentation to go along with it yet, but it's mostly self explanatory 
with the usual --help switch to the script.

Hello all,
 
I've googled around everywhere trying to find an answer here and came up unsuccessful, so if anyone has had experience in this situation, I'd appreciate help!  
 
Basically, the issue that I'm having is that I have a couple of temperature plugins that are reporting errors in Nagios and at the command line they're exiting in 0:
 
check7204temp.pl  - Return code of 255 is out of bounds
and
checkciscotemp.pl - Return code of 9 is out of bounds
 
If I run a "echo $?" at the command line after running the command successfully, I get 0.
 
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!  My perms are 755 and nagios user owns the plugins and I've run successfully with nagios user and got 0 output.  I'm really stumped!!
 
Here's the code for the plugins:

Subject: nagios plugins return code issue


Hello all,
 
I've googled around everywhere trying to find an answer here and came up unsuccessful, so if anyone has had experience in this situation, I'd appreciate help!  
 
Basically, the issue that I'm having is that I have a couple of temperature plugins that are reporting errors in Nagios and at the command line they're exiting in 0:
 
check7204temp.pl  - Return code of 255 is out of bounds
and
checkciscotemp.pl - Return code of 9 is out of bounds
 
If I run a "echo $?" at the command line after running the command successfully, I get 0.
 
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!  My perms are 755 and nagios user owns the plugins and I've run successfully with nagios user and got 0 output.  I'm really stumped!!
 
Here's the code for the plugins:

Umm... Not sure.  I just tried uncommenting and got the same results though.  I'm taking over managing the nagios server that we have from another collegue who left the company.  I've actually migrated everything over to another server that is now running the latest nagios.  The previous server was 3.0.6 I believe.  I tried searching for an updated version of these plugins, but couldn't find any.  I'm not that great with perl scripting either.  :/

Hello all,
 
I've googled around everywhere trying to find an answer here and came up unsuccessful, so if anyone has had experience in this situation, I'd appreciate help!  
 
Basically, the issue that I'm having is that I have a couple of temperature plugins that are reporting errors in Nagios and at the command line they're exiting in 0:
 
check7204temp.pl  - Return code of 255 is out of bounds and checkciscotemp.pl - Return code of 9 is out of bounds
 
If I run a "echo $?" at the command line after running the command successfully, I get 0.
 
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!  My perms are 755 and nagios user owns the plugins and I've run successfully with nagios user and got 0 output.  I'm really stumped!!
 
Here's the code for the plugins:

What is your command line?  Are you calling the script directly or is it wrapped 
in a shell script?  I took a quick look at the script, and it needs quite a bit 
of improvement.  Not sure if it was a result of my copy and paste, but there is 
only so much I can blame on bad formatting.  I would recommend looking for a 
different script that does the same thing.

Message-ID: 

Ahh - I just realized something... I got the same response in Nagios when I uncommented "use strict;", but not at the command line.  I get the following at the command line with it commented out:

If I run:

./checkciscotemp.pl -C '' -H 

I get:

OK Inlet Temp: 18 Outlet Temp: 22

Then if I do a:

echo $?

I get:
0

But with "use strict;" uncommented at the command line I get a whole range of requirements that I need to define for global symbols such as:

Global symbol "$hostname" requires explicit package name at checkciscotemp.pl line 59.

I can try defining them and see where that gets me first.  I did try looking a little for another script, but I guess I'll have to try harder as this seems to be most likely too outdated for the new version of nagios.

What is your command line?  Are you calling the script directly or is it wrapped in a shell script?  I took a quick look at the script, and it needs quite a bit of improvement.  Not sure if it was a result of my copy and paste, but there is only so much I can blame on bad formatting.  I would recommend looking for a different script that does the same thing.

Umm... Not sure.  I just tried uncommenting and got the same results though.  
I'm taking over managing the nagios server that we have from another collegue who left the company.  I've actually migrated everything over to another server that is now running the latest nagios.  The previous server was 3.0.6 I believe.  I tried searching for an updated version of these plugins, but couldn't find any.  I'm not that great with perl scripting either.  :/

For starters, why is use strict commented out?

?
Hello all,

I've googled around everywhere trying to find an answer here and came up unsuccessful, so if anyone has had experience in this situation, I'd appreciate help!  


Basically, the issue that I'm having is that I have a couple of temperature plugins that are reporting errors in Nagios and at the command line they're exiting in 0:

check7204temp.pl  - Return code of 255 is out of bounds and checkciscotemp.pl - Return code of 9 is out of bounds

If I run a "echo $?" at the command line after running the command successfully, I get 0.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!  My perms are 755 and nagios user owns the plugins and I've run successfully with nagios user and got 0 output.  I'm really stumped!!

Here's the code for the plugins:

  if you disable the embedded perl interpreter in nagios.cfg, does the script start to work?

What is your command line?  Are you calling the script directly or is it wrapped 
in a shell script?  I took a quick look at the script, and it needs quite a bit 
of improvement.  Not sure if it was a result of my copy and paste, but there is 
only so much I can blame on bad formatting.  I would recommend looking for a 
different script that does the same thing.

Umm... Not sure.  I just tried uncommenting and got the same results though.  
I'm taking over managing the nagios server that we have from another collegue 
who left the company.  I've actually migrated everything over to another server 
that is now running the latest nagios.  The previous server was 3.0.6 I 
believe.  I tried searching for an updated version of these plugins, but 
couldn't find any.  I'm not that great with perl scripting either.  :/

Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios plugins return code issue

?
Hello all,

I've googled around everywhere trying to find an answer here and came up 
unsuccessful, so if anyone has had experience in this situation, I'd appreciate 
help!  


Basically, the issue that I'm having is that I have a couple of temperature 
plugins that are reporting errors in Nagios and at the command line they're 
exiting in 0:

check7204temp.pl  - Return code of 255 is out of bounds and checkciscotemp.pl - 
Return code of 9 is out of bounds

If I run a "echo $?" at the command line after running the command successfully, 
I get 0.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!  My perms are 755 and nagios user owns 
the plugins and I've run successfully with nagios user and got 0 output.  I'm 
really stumped!!

Here's the code for the plugins:

Subject: Tuning for Passive Check latency
Message-ID: <201008180224.AA02277@S2007337.jp.fujitsu.com>

Hello all.

We would like to ask some tips with how to tune up fof the Passvie Check. 

Currently we are experiencing following latency in passive check,
 
Passive Service Latency:                0.586 / 101257.403 / 768.626 sec

# nagios version is 3.0.6

I have read manual but I would like to get an advice 
exactly which parameteres should I change in nagios.cfg.

Thank you,
Yu Watanabe

Subject: contactgroup definition
Message-ID: 

Is it normal that there is NO error on startup when I
- in a contact definition
- add a contactgroups directive
- for a contactgroup that has not been defined?

I only get an error when I try to use a non-existing contact group in a
service definition. This makes me wonder what is going on.

[FEATURE REQUEST] No matter how it finally works, it would be nice to be
able to generate the groups "on-the-fly" as mentioned above, but with the
possibility to view the resulting groups.

Thanks
JM

Which manual have you read?  The most relevant page is:

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

Can you increase the check_interval for some of your service checks?

Depends how you want to monitor the Unix servers. You could do this by using
a SSH connection where you'd use port 22 (by default) or if you use the NRPE
daemon on the target Unix server you'd use port 5666 (by default).

You may want to look at Opsview (http://opsview.com).

 From a single point of configuration, it pushes out the nagios  
configuration to the remote slaves which are independently running  
their own copy of Nagios. We have users going up to 25 slaves!

Subject: tw_cli command
Message-ID: 

Hi,

I have the below bash script for nagios plugin. The issue is that i
dont need to hard code the controller c0 or c1 or c2 or c3. so on some
servers there may be two controllers c0, and c1 and on some server
there may be four controllers c0,1,2 and 3. I dont know it off hand

Typically if i run tw_cli info i get

tw_cli info

Ctl   Model        Ports   Drives   Units   NotOpt   RRate   VRate
BBU
------------------------------------------------------------------------
c0    9550SX-8LP   8       8        4       0        1       1
OK
c1    9550SX-8LP   8       8        2       0        1       1
OK

#####################################################################################################
controllers=$(tw_cli info | awk '/^c[0-9]/{print $1})
for c in $controllers;
do sudo /usr/bin/tw_cli info $c | grep -eq "DEVICE-ERROR|DEGRADED|
INOPERABLE|SMART-FAILURE"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
 echo "Critical: raid problem with controller $c";
 exit 2
 fi
 echo "Ok:raid is fine"
 exit 0
done
#####################################################################################################

The issue with the above bash script is that it will exit with 2 if
the controller c0 fail and it wont check for other controllers.
I need to check for other controllers too at the same time

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Kaushal

Cool - how many active service checks / active host checks per poller?

As many as a single nagios instance runs. You can scale out by adding  
more slaves. We also have a feature where you can have slave clusters  
to do workload balancing and redundancy, so you can just add another  
node if hardware is the issue.

The bottleneck would be at the central master, but that is very fast  
because of only processing passive results.

Message-ID: 

Your code exits on the first controller no matter what.

The answer is simple:  Don't exit from within your loop.  Keep status
information, then exit after checking all controllers.

Simplest version:

> retval=0
> for c in $controllers;
> do sudo /usr/bin/tw_cli info $c | grep -eq "DEVICE-ERROR|DEGRADED|
> INOPERABLE|SMART-FAILURE"
> if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
>  echo "Critical: raid problem with controller $c";
>  retval=2
>  fi
>  echo "Ok: Controller $c is fine"
> done
> exit $retval

This will output (for example):

Ok: Controller c0 is fine
Ok: Controller c1 is fine
Critical: raid problem with controller c2
Ok: Controller c3 is fine

and then return 2.

For further help with bash scripting, might I suggest the Advanced
Bash-Scripting Guide at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

Also, please read
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/pluginapi.html to learn how to
format multi-line output from your plugin.

we have ~ 30000 services and ~3000 hosts

we have 6 pollers (each have a backup) processing checks and forwarding
back to a central nagios host.

our busiest poller has ~1000 hosts and ~9000 services... avg service check
interval is 5 minutes, but there are a bunch at 1 and 2 minute intervals.

avg service check latency is less than 1 second

This is ~3yr old hardware too, i suspect we could increase capacity by 50%
if we move to the new intel nahalems

we dont use active host checks

did you google for check_bonding+Nagios ?
at least for bonding on different linuxes,
you can monitor the bonding state.

Nice - appreciate you sharing your numbers - everyone who does
distributed code around Nagios adds overhead, so it is nice to see
real numbers as opposed to 'as many as can be done' as we all know how
wildly that varies :) - I have spent many many hours with my
colleagues tuning the 'as many as can be done' numbers.

We have done a distributed variant of Nagios as well - our
non-distributed pollers (Compaq 380s with 8 GB RAM + RAID 10) poll 2k
host checks (every 10 minutes) and 11k service checks (avg interval 5
minutes), all checks send performance data through a NEB module as
well to our performance data processing tier - with our distributed
code in place that falls to around 1.5k host checks and 8-9k service
checks per poller.

Average non-distributed host and service check latency around 1.2
seconds, distributed around 2.4 seconds.

Our new hardware consists of Dell R710s - dual 8 core processors, wow
do those rock - with our distributed code we are getting around 2x
those numbers per poller even with the overhead of the distribution
mechanism in place.

We will be releasing our distributed variant as open source software
in the next month or so - i suspect that our methodology is org
specific enough that it will not work for many places, but for higher
volume polling it might be worthwhile to adopt and some of the
concepts and metholodigies in it we hope will lead to sparking ideas
in others for better ways to do distributed Nagios.

We also take the approach of pushing out configs to remote pollers -
we have a redundant UI tier where we stage a configuration - after the
configuration is staged, we have code (will allow for manual operator
adjustment in a dot release) that will equally distribute checks among
pollers desginated as being available for use - that code then builds
out a common retention.dat file for all pollers along with
objects.pre-cache files for each poller - those files are pushed out
to each poller and the pollers are restarted (yes, we have thought
through and worked out all the synchronization issues involved).

Our UI then lets users take the actions the Nagios Ui does and knows
where to send the commands to affect the real poller instances.

Working well so far, and as with all the alternate Nagios UIs, we are
able to make a much more intuitive and flexible UI.

Code should be available in early October.

Thanks Rick for correcting my bash script.
Thanks a lot Axel :-). I will try it out and update you on this email thread.

Subject: Help Needed | Web Authentication
Message-ID: 

It would be really appreciated if somone can help me out setting up nagios
monitoring for a website or a secured website.

I just wanted to match the string after the website is authenticated.
 for eg: i am trying to setup the monitoring for facebook.com, and the
command i am using for this is-

./check_http -H facebook.com -u "http://www.facebook.com" -a
myfbusername:myfbpassword -s "Facebook helps you connect" -f follow

Plugin responds back --- HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 27441 bytes in 2.614
second response time |time=2.613975s;;;0.000000 size=27441B;;;0

even if the password is incorrect i gives me same response because it is
verifying the string and responds back correctly.

So i need to know what am i doing wrong here or may be i am not using the
right plugin to do so because as i know its not the "basic authentication"
that i am going through.

Need your help, trying to get this done from couple of days now... but not
getting it solved.

Please help or suggest... Thanks

You want to use WebInject for this (it's an extra library plus Nagios 
plugin)
http://www.webinject.org/plugin.html

It lets you say "first, go to Facebook.  Then fill out the form with 
these credentials.  Submit those, now check the page it returns back".  
You could even do something like checking whether someone is still your 
friend, or whether your news feed contains some string.

The login mechanism probably doesn't work with the plugin.  The plugin probably uses HTTP based auth rather than form based.  Are you really trying to check fb?

Subject: Help Needed | Web Authentication
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: <4C6C4256.8040607@herb-j.com>

Basic HTTP authentication is what you would use if you were password 
protecting a web page using an .htaccess file. Since Facebook does not 
use basic HTTP authentication, Facebook is ignoring the login and 
password you are sending it and is just displaying the standard login 
page (in this situation the check_http plugin will not work with the 
parameters you are sending it). To verify login access to a site like 
Facebook you will need to configure the check to run the same way that 
the browser would. That means you must get the variable names from the 
login form (view the source code and get *all* of the form parameters 
that are contained in the login form, including the hidden ones) and 
populate them with the required values. Those parameters then need to be 
sent by either a "GET" request and/or a "POST" request (using key=value 
pairs joined by an "&", e.g. "login=myfbusername&pass=myfbpassword"), 
depending on how Facebook's login page is configured. (You will need to 
be aware that if the names of the form fields ever change you must 
update your check to match them.) For "GET" requests, use the "-u" 
parameter to populate the fields, and for "POST" requests, use the "-P" 
parameter.

Also, if you are monitoring a Facebook login/pass by repeatedly logging 
into it, it is possible that you might set off a warning flag in some 
Facebook internal system that monitors for automated logins. If it is 
for some other site, make sure that the code on that site will not have 
any problems with constantly repeating logins.

 Hi,

where can I find information about cmd.cgi arguments available on my
version of Nagios (3.0.6)?

I want to acknowledge detected problems from a remote machine using
'curl' and need to turn the acknowledgment notification off...

I don't think I've seen them documented anywhere, except in one of the
books on Nagios.

If you actually do the action in the web front-end first, then do the
POST entries in the apache access.log file give you enough
information?  I've not tried using curl myself.

Cool :-)

Kyle, I assume you're not using the Community Edition of Groundwork Monitor.

Because I was hoping to find some help on this mailing about a a Distributed Setup using
a single instance of Groundwork Monitor Community Edition version 6+ with multiple Nagios 3 remote servers...
This proves to be very hard to come by.

Any help would be really appreciated

Hello Jim.

Thank you for your support and affording your time.

Yes , the document I read was the link you have sent to me.
However, I was not sure whcich parameter should I change intitally.

Regarding to the check_interval, we want to choose this option
as a last option since ping checks are very important.

I am thinking of change the parameters in following order:

1. Increase external buffer slot 
>From : 
  # external_command_buffer_slots=

To   :
  external_command_buffer_slots=768

2. Change the external command check interval
>From :
  check_external_commands=1

TO   :
  check_external_commands=-1

Have a look into cgi/cmd.c

void request_command_data(int cmd){

and then translate the cmd type e.g. CMD_DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS into 
appropriate integer in include/common.h

but afaik disabling only the ack notification won't be possible in that 
particular case, you'll need to disable host/service notifications then.

kind regards,
Michael

Hi All,

 

As I am a beginner in Nagios would like to know the few things about
Nagios.

 

1)     How does nagios work and monitors the hosts ?

2)     Will it use any protocol ?

 

Thanks,

Ravi G

check_external_commands should be either "1" or "0".

I expect you were thinking of command_check_interval which yes should
be set to "-1" if you want Nagios to check external commands as often
as possible.  This is how I have mine set:

  command_check_interval=-1

Does your nagiostats output include "Used/High/Total Command Buffers:"
and if so, what does it say?

If it helps any, I also have:

  external_command_buffer_slots=4096

and my nagiostats says:

  Used/High/Total Command Buffers:        1 / 100 / 4096


Cheers,

Jim

In:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/toc.html

The pages in the section "The Basics" will hopefully explain that quite well.

If you decide Nagios is for you, but find the on-line documentation a
bit daunting, the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth, published by No
Starch Press is an excellent introduction and reference.


> 2)???? Will it use any protocol ?

Pretty much, yes.  There are lots of plugins available for Nagios
which use various protocols and if you can't find a plugin you need,
it's usually fairly easy to write one.


I hope that helps a little.

Jim

Hi,

Please let me know where can I find the information on different protocols used by Nagios plugins.

Thanks,

Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_network_protocols

Nagios is a framework.  There are some stock plugins (http://nagiosplugins.org/) 
available, or you can use the community-provided ones 
(http://www.monitoringexchange.org/), or you can write your own.

Please read the documentation until you understand the "framework" part of 
Nagios, then check out monitoringexchange.org to see what's out there and to get 
ideas for what you need to do.

Message-ID: 

using the professional or enterprise, not sure the branding anymore...

The mechanism we use to pass event data from the nagios pollers to the top
level was developed by us.  The methods internal to nagios; using OCHP and
OCSP, or the performance data processor, to pass events did not meet our
requirements... it added to much overhead to nagios and was limiting the
number of active host/service checks a single nagios instance could
perform.

The version GW and I hacked together was fairly simple, it was also based
on some code GW used for another function within their product, but was
easily recyclable.  It was perl script that ran as a daemon, read in the
nagios status log, parsed it, sent messages back to the top level nagios
via nsca.

It was totally rewritten and a bunch of other features were added by one
of my colleagues.

I am not sure if we are allowed to opensource this code... but I would
sure like the guy who wrote it to! (I know you're watching)

Outside of figuring the config synchronization of each nagios pollers,
which you can use monarch for (part of GW), this bit of code would make it
very simple to build large distributed nagios installs.

We have done some other significant changes to GW to scale as large as we
did, but these had less to do with nagios and more do to with GW.  We are
using a ramdisk for the nagios log directory, which helps quite a bit for
nagios performance.

Subject: Email notification for service/host alerts issue ?
Message-ID: 

Recently I upgraded my Nagios OS from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04, everything works as expected except my alerts are not bringing in the "$HOSTOUTPUT$" data. Basically this is what I get in my notification alert:

** PROBLEM Service Alert: van-oooo/service_SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER is CRITICAL **


***** Nagios *****



Notification Type: PROBLEM



Service: service_SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER

Host: van-oooo

Address: 172.16.x.x

State: CRITICAL



Date/Time: Thu Aug 19 07:51:02 PDT 2010



Additional Info:



The additional info is missing, below are my notification commands, this used to work prior to upgrading.

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

define command{
        command_name    notify-service-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

Any idea why this could be happening?

Thanks.

I don't want to disable ACK notifications permanetnly...

When I use the web interface to acknowledge a problem, there is a check
box 'Send notification' that is checked by default. If I un-check it,
Nagios doesn't send out ACK notifications.

That's what I want / need to do, only 'automatically'...

I'll take a look at cgi/cmd.c, thanks for the idea.

 Thanks, Danilo

Unfortunately, the log entry is always the same and doesn't contain

I can second that - RAM disk for nagios temp files and log files,
objects.cache and retention.dat (we rsync to disk every N minutes for
disaster recovery) makes a very noticable difference.

Subject: check_tcp send null byte
Message-ID: 

Hi all,

I want to monitor our Flash socket policy file server.  The server expects a
string terminated in a null byte, but I can't get check_tcp to send a null
byte.

Using netcat does work, however:

perl -e 'printf "%c",0' | nc -v  843

Here is my check_tcp call:

./check_tcp -H  -p 843 -s "`perl -e 'printf
"%c",0'`" -r crit -M crit -w 1 -c 3 -v -d 2 -e "xml"

The check_tcp doesn't print out any response from the server, which is
consistent with server behavior when it doesn't receive a null byte (if I
remove the 0 in the perl printf).

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Karthik

Hello Jim.

Again thank you for your reply.

Following are the stats for the command buffer slots:

Program Running Time:                   3d 15h 5m 58s
Nagios PID:                             17527
Used/High/Total Command Buffers:        4 / 4096 / 4096

it seems that it have already reached the top....

Thank you,
Yu Watanabe

But can't login to Centreon now!!! when we try with nagiosadmin nagiosadmin,
it returns invalid user!!!

We surely didn't change any users!! Is there any way out. rest everything is
working perfectly, we logged in to centreon just after installation, but
after configuring rest of nagios we see this error.

We can login to Nagios using user name nagiosadmin and password nagiosadmin.
But Centreon returns Invalid User!

Subject: Nagios help
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: 

Hi!

I have a perl script which returns data in the following format (output from
a wget) -

AppName : BillingApp
"status" = "OK";

AppName : PaymentApp
"status" = "WARN";

AppName : OrderApp
"status" = "ERROR";

AppName :  RegApp
"status" = "FATAL";

the output consists of 150+ apps, with each one of them returning their
status.

Here is what I need -

Want to create a wrapper script which returns a cumulative summary. I need a
step by step instructions on how to hook a script like this into nagios?

What I desire -

Instead of a cumulative result, can I display the result in Nagios on a per
application basis using this one script (and a wrapper script on top of it)?

I tried check_http but it doesnt solve my needs as I want to parse out the
output from the wget rather than just doing a wget on a port.

If you can also provide me with a wrapper script for reference in relation
to how the result can be presented to Nagios that would be great.

Please help!!

Thanks,

Allan

Have you set "command_check_interval=-1" yet?

If Nagios is not checking the external command file frequently enough
I presume it will throw more stuff in to the command buffer.

You might find it helpful to enable mrtg graphing of your Nagios
stats.  http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/mrtggraphs.html

What is cpu looking like on your system generally?

Subject: Can NRPE Output Be Graphed
Message-ID: 

I'm in the process of setting up NRPE daemons on remote Linux servers to
enable me to monitor them. I've set-up a couple of checks (zombie and
total processes) as per the documentation. Everything is working fine
and Nagios reports correctly the numbers involved. I'm now wondering if
these checks can/will output to PNP4Nagios to enable them to be graphed?

Also what else can I use NRPE for to monitor Linux servers?

I checked 'cgi.c' and I think I got it - the problem is, 'cmd.c' just
checks for presence of 'send_notification' and if it's there, it sends
the notification. It disregards any '=off' or '=

So the solution is just to omit the 'send_notification' completely
(previously I tried to set it to 'off' or 'false').



   Thanks for all the help, Danilo

  Hi,


The admin user for centreon is centreonadmin, not nagiosadmin.


You can conect to centreon database and make a select of the users in 
your centreon and you can make an update to change the password if need it.

Hi Ananth,

Let's init the "centreonadmin" password.

Please launch the following command:
#echo "update contact set contact_passwd =
'2995cb0650c5f107230ed569a8c4d6e5' where contact_alias like
'%centreonadmin%'" | mysql -u DATABASE-USER-NAME -p DATABASE-NAME -h
DATABASE-IP

Replace DATABASE-USER-NAME, DATABASE-NAME, DATABASE-IP with the correct
values.

The password for "centreonadmin" user will be "centreon".

It's pretty easy...

- create your script to perform the check. Pay particular attention to the Output and Return Code requirements of http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html
- create a command{} definition that calls your script.
- create one or more service definitions that reference your new command{} definition
- reload nagios

Seems straightforward to me. Accept a command line argument referencing what you want to look for and search the output for that status. Print out the status and exit with a corresponding exit code.

> If you can also provide me with a wrapper script for reference in relation to how the result can be presented to Nagios that would be great.

Look at pretty much any of the plugins at http://exchange.nagios.org. I'd bet that the majority of them call some external program, parse it's output and return results.

Subject: single email alert to multiple contacts?
Message-ID: 

Does anyone know how (or if it is even possible) to configure nagios to send
a single email to all contacts associated with the host/service/etc as
opposed to a separate email to each contact?

The problem I'm facing is with emailing distribution lists.  If both
distribution_list_A and B contain user_A, said user ends up getting 2 email
for the same event.  If nagios could be configured to send a single email to
both distribution lists, our exchange server would recognize that user_A is
a member of both lists and send only 1 email to him.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!

Think of your exhange servers mailing lists as buckets. Bucket A is  
list A with user A in it. Bucket B is list B with user A in it.

Each bucket is going to get an email, and that email is going to get  
copied to it's users.

I don't think this way is going to be possible, unless you make  
another group, and put your groups in there. But I will bet that user  
a still gets 2 emails. But I can't say for certain, since it's been  
about 5 years since I used a exchange server.

I would probably pull user a out, and let him get contacted separately  
with nagios, instead of depending on a group list if it's a big deal.  
The down side is this doesn't scale very well.

Message-ID: <4C6EAEC1.30907@herb-j.com>

Issues like this is just one of the reasons why we had to abstract out 
all notifications from Nagios to an external script. We have servers in 
a number of different locations, different platform groupings, 
escalation tiers, etc., as well as notifications sent by Jabber. They 
had to do to different people, with different escalation tiers, in 
different locations, who manage different groups of servers. With such a 
variety of users receiving different emails, mailing lists were out of 
the question. It got to the point where the processing of service check 
data would be delayed by several seconds every time a notification 
needed to be sent. If an entire rack of machines or a whole platform 
went down, the check latency went through the roof due to all of the delays.

The new system I put in place allows a single notification to be 
generated by Nagios, and regardless of how many people are configured to 
receive it (be it 1 or 50), there was no delay in Nagios and there is no 
need to use distribution lists.

Of course, the down side of this method is that this system isn't 
possible without a fairly complex management interface (the same one we 
use to build all of the config files).

Have you considered passive monitoring instead?

NSClient can be configured to push results instead of being queried on
demand. You can use this in conjunction with setting the host as
passively checked only and setting a freshness threshold such that if
the freshness threshold is exceeded, then the active check command
specified is run, which can do something like trigger a WARNING or
CRITICAL state. I've used "check_dummy" as the active check command
to do this.

I rolled out two standard and one custom config file (altered from a
template) for each nsclient install, so after installing NSClient++
with defaults, I'd just drop in my standard files and restart the
service.

Of course, this means that every windows host has a copy of the
password to submit results to NSCA. You may or may not like this
approach.

Subject: How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds
	depending on	timeframes
Message-ID: <20100823084503.xj5dlqwfq4gw44w0@localhost>


Dear Sire,

How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds depending on timeframes.

Example.   -w = 80 -c = 90 during business hours but -w = 90 -c = 95  
outsite business hours.

How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds depending on  
timeframes: Part II

define service{
         use                             local-service         ; Name  
of service template to use
         host_name                       localhost
         service_description             Current Users
       check_command                   check_local_users!20!50
       check_period		nonworkhours
       notification_period		nonworkhours
         }

define service{
         use                             local-service         ; Name  
of service template to use
         host_name                       localhost
         service_description             Current Users
       check_command                   check_local_users!40!60
       check_period		workhours
       notification_period		workhours
         }

In my above example i dit configure the same test twice. The two  
timeframes 'nonworkhours' en 'workhours' together equals 24x7

Is this way of configuring allowed. Because this solves my problem.

1) how will the nagios scheduling react on this configuration?

2) how will the display react on this configuration?


# 'workhours' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
         timeperiod_name workhours
         alias           "Normal" Working Hours
         monday          09:00-17:00
         tuesday         09:00-17:00
         wednesday       09:00-17:00
         thursday        09:00-17:00
         friday          09:00-17:00
         }


# 'nonworkhours' timeperiod definition
define timeperiod{
         timeperiod_name nonworkhours
         alias           Non-Work Hours
         sunday          00:00-24:00
         monday          00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
         tuesday         00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
         wednesday       00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
         thursday        00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
         friday          00:00-09:00,17:00-24:00
         saturday        00:00-24:00
         }


check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the  
time period during which active checks of this host can be made.

check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the  
time period during which active checks of this service can be made.

If you do not use the check_period directive to specify a timeperiod,  
Nagios will be able to schedule active
checks of the host or service anytime it needs to. This is essentially  
a 24x7 monitoring scenario.

Specifying a timeperiod in the check_period directive allows you to  
restrict the time that Nagios perform
regularly scheduled, active checks of the host or service. When Nagios  
attempts to reschedule a host or
service check, it will make sure that the next check falls within a  
valid time range within the defined
timeperiod. If it doesn?t, Nagios will adjust the next check time to  
coincide with the next "valid" time in
the specified timeperiod. This means that the host or service may not  
get checked again for another hour,
day, or week, etc.

Timeperiods:
Exclusions and Host/Service Checks - There is a bug in the  
service/host check scheduling logic
that rears its head when you use timeperiod definitions that use the  
excludedirective. The
problem occurs when Nagios Core tries to re-schedule the next check.  
In this case, the
scheduling logic may incorrectly schedule the next check further out  
in the future than it
should. In essence, it skips over the (missing) logic where it could  
determine an earlier possible
time using the exception times. Imperfect Solution: Don?t use  
timeperiod definitions that
exclude other timeperods for your host/service check periods. A fix is  
being worked on, and
will hopefully make it into a 3.4.x release.

To answer your first question - Yes PNP4Nagios will be able to graph the 
data .

The second question , short answer is - any thing you want , nrpe is 
only the "middle man" between the nagios server and the plugins to be 
executed on the remote machines , to that end it is able to do anything 
you write a plugin to check and pass the results back to nagios.

Agree totally!  

All alerts from Nagios go to the same post-processing script we built
and that's where they get shuffled off where they need to go, based on
user preferences.

We built a database and simple CGI interface (within Nagios pages).
Users click on the preferences link and "subscribe" to systems they are
interested in receiving alerts from.  They can then decide what email
address to send to, based on time of day, hostname, alert level, etc.

That takes virtually all the alert management off the Nagios maintainer
(me!) and allows people to modify their own contact information (e.g. at
work, send to instant messenger.  on vacation, send to phone.  At home,
send to home email. etc)

There are "fall through" rules that can optionally send to an admin
group mailbox (with appropriate verbiage in the alert message indicating
the fall through) if no one is subscribed to get the alert.

Finally, we built a quick & dirty "reporting" page that lists all
contacts for all services for all hosts, so we can glance through and
pin down gaps.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] single email alert to multiple contacts?

Issues like this is just one of the reasons why we had to abstract out 
all notifications from Nagios to an external script. We have servers in 
a number of different locations, different platform groupings, 
escalation tiers, etc., as well as notifications sent by Jabber. They 
had to do to different people, with different escalation tiers, in 
different locations, who manage different groups of servers. With such a

variety of users receiving different emails, mailing lists were out of 
the question. It got to the point where the processing of service check 
data would be delayed by several seconds every time a notification 
needed to be sent. If an entire rack of machines or a whole platform 
went down, the check latency went through the roof due to all of the
delays.

The new system I put in place allows a single notification to be 
generated by Nagios, and regardless of how many people are configured to

receive it (be it 1 or 50), there was no delay in Nagios and there is no

need to use distribution lists.

Of course, the down side of this method is that this system isn't 
possible without a fairly complex management interface (the same one we 
use to build all of the config files).

This sounds amazing!

Is there any chance this could be released to the community?

You could look at NoMa (Notification Manager), which does the same:

Message-ID: 

Hi list,

I'm trying to setup and configure pnp4nagios [v0.6.6] on a currently working
Nagios Core [v3.2.0] system running on openSUSE 11.1

I installed pnp4nagios from source and also installed rrdtool using an rpm.
All was going well until I tried to verify the pnp configuration. Below are
the
specific errors;


*the-host:/usr/local/pnp4nagios/libexec # ./verify_pnp_config.pl -m sync

Would anyone know why I'm getting the errors highlighted above? Kindly point
me in the right direction.

Hello all,

I am new to Nagios. I just installed it and did all the necessary configuration but when I open it on my browser, I can only view the documentation. The other links I go keep showing me internal server error.

I checked the apache error logs and it was telling me that permission was denied when trying to access the cgi files that come with Nagios. Please what could be the problem?

Hello,
I'm new user and I installed nagios months ago, and all function
worked properly.
Today I opened the web cgi on http://host/nagios and he can't find
CGIs, but all alert function work well.

This is the /var/log/httpd/error_log during main page connection
http://pastebin.com/ZnsBb9iP

Those files seem missing, how can I recover without rewriting nagios
/usr/local/nagios/etc directory in wich I wrote all configurations?

I installed nagios using the quickstart howto, and the selinux is disabled.

Thank's for you help!

Sorry for my bad english

This config is wrong while using synchronous mode.

Please check nagios.cfg for service_perfdata_command and host_perfdata_command

Did you recently upgrade apache, php or something like suphp?

Have you confirmed that the files are actually missing?
Ie. Have you cd'd to the directory and done an ls to confirm they're gone?

Regardless, if you're worried about your configuration, simply
copy/backup all the files from /usr/local/nagios/etc folder and then,
if you reload nagios exactly the same way as you did before, you can
just load the same config files back in should they accidentally get
wiped.

If you are using a source installation and not a package installation
(which I assume from the /usr/local/...) you can choose to not run the
step which copies the "default" config files over.

**************************************************************
Eg. Skip the step which tells you to run "make install-config"
**************************************************************

Review the contents of the INSTALL and README files inside the Nagios
source distribution for more information.

Welcome!  I hope you enjoy using Nagios as much as I do.


A common reason for this problem is that the correct permissions are not
applied.

When you compiled nagios, did you run "make install-webconf"?

After that you should have reloaded the Apache config.  The command for this
might vary depending on what Linux distribution you are using.  As an
example, on Ubuntu it is..

  /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Another problem can be that the Nagios daemon is not running.  If you enter:

  ps -ef | grep nagios

does this show the daemon running?

It is also a good idea to check your nagios config before starting the
Nagios daemon.  You do this by entering:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

(you might need to alter those if you installed in a different location).
If the verification fails, you will need to fix whatever the problems are in
your config before continuing.

Which version of Linux are you using, and which instructions did you follow
when installing Nagios?  Nagios can be installed in lots of different ways
so it will help to know which one you were working to.

Cheers,

Jim

Possibly.  I've only done a little myself as well.  What sort of 
errors?  Also, you'll find two examples and a couple of caveats on pages 
4-6 of 
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/docs/Monitoring_Websites_With_XI.pdf 
if that helps.

(Also, it's probably best to keep this on the list so others can learn 
from it and contribute as well.)

Subject: The output of $SERVICEOUTPUT$ macro is blank ?
Message-ID: 

I recently upgraded my Ubuntu OS (8.04 >> 10.04) and Nagios from 3.0 to 3.1.2, and recently I ran into an issue where the data for "$SERVICEOUTPUT$" is never included in my email notification.

It is defined properly in the notification.cfg file as per below:

define command{
        command_name    notify-service-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

But in my email, it only has "Additional Info:" with nothing else.

How could I troubleshoot that $SERVICEOUTPUT$ is getting parsed properly and working? Maybe its something with my mail client?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Subject: Trouble Starting NagiosGrapher in Freebsd
Message-ID: 

Hello,

I hope I won't be chewed up since this is a third-party add-on question but
I am having some issues starting NagiosGrapher.

I installed Nagios (which is up and running perfect) and Nagios Grapher from
the ports collection.  I followed these instructions (modified the proper
paths): https://www.netways.org/projects/grapher/wiki

Here is what I get when I try and start the service:

root at nagios # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagiosgrapher start

Starting nagiosgrapher.

FYI here are some system variables:

   - FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE
   -
   - nagios-3.2.1
   - nagios-plugins-1.4.14_1
   - nagiosgrapher-1.7.1_3

Thanks in advance.

The strange thing is..

I replaced "/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\"

With "/bin/echo -e **** Nagios *****" and now my alerts include the missing $SERVICEOUTPUT$ information that was not there previously.

I wonder why printf was causing this?

Did the actual output contain characters that printf might think are macros for itself?

Thanks for your input Joerg.

I figured out that I forgot to restart Nagios after making the various
configurations - my bad!

Hello Jim,

I used this link (http://www.kernelhardware.org/install-nagios-on-centos-5/) to install my Nagios. I did all that you said while installing. I ran this command   ps -ef | grep nagios and I saw an output but I did not see anything that shows me whether Nagios Daemon is running or not. How do I know?

Hello all,

I am new to Nagios. I just installed it and did all the necessary configuration but when I open it on my browser, I can only view the documentation. The other links I go keep showing me internal server error.


I checked the apache error logs and it was telling me that permission was denied when trying to access the cgi files that come with Nagios. Please what could be the problem?

Ifeanyi Agu

Welcome!  I hope you enjoy using Nagios as much as I do.


A common reason for this problem is that the correct permissions are not applied.


When you compiled nagios, did you run "make install-webconf"?

After that you should have reloaded the Apache config.  The command for this might vary depending on what Linux distribution you are using.  As an example, on Ubuntu it is..


  /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Another problem can be that the Nagios daemon is not running.  If you enter:

  ps -ef | grep nagios

does this show the daemon running?

It is also a good idea to check your nagios config before starting the Nagios daemon.  You do this by entering:


/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

(you might need to alter those if you installed in a different location).  If the verification fails, you will need to fix whatever the problems are in your config before continuing.


Which version of Linux are you using, and which instructions did you follow when installing Nagios?  Nagios can be installed in lots of different ways so it will help to know which one you were working to.

Cheers,


Jim

You should see the nagios process(es) listed (possibly along with the
grep process which is part of the command you just ran)  something
like this:

nagios     401     1 23 Aug13 ?        2-18:48:18
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   17576   401  0 12:42 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   17650   401  0 12:42 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   17725   401  1 12:42 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   17728   401  1 12:42 ?        00:00:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
mylogin   17746   526  0 12:42 pts/0    00:00:00 grep nagios

Looking at the comments on the web page where you got the instructions
from, it also seems likely that SELINUX is enabled on your Centos
linux OS.  Personally I would disable it as it's a right pain to
manage otherwise.  I don't run RedHat or Centos myself so can't tell
you how to do that.

Please can I also ask you to send your emails to this list in plain
text?  The formatting can be a bit tricky to work with when quoting
back a reply.

Cheers,

Jim

Hello Jim,

Thanks for the help so far. I disabled SELinux and I tried starting Nagios again but I noticed that Nagios was not running. I am logged in as the root user in the Linux. Could that be the problem why my Nagios is not running?

I wouldn't have thought that would be the problem, no.

Take a look at the nagios log file which is probably
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

Don't forget my earlier recommendation to validate the Nagios config like so:

  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Did you try that, and if so what did it say?

I then logged in as nagios user and I could not even start apache or nagios. It was telling me that service is not a command it recognises. Please, please, please help me. Am running outta time

I wouldn't have thought that would be the problem, no.

Take a look at the nagios log file which is probably
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

Don't forget my earlier recommendation to validate the Nagios config like so:


  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Did you try that, and if so what did it say?

Cheers,

Jim

Hi Ifeanyi,

The issue points to a permission issue - how did you install nagios? Did you
compile it or you used a package manager to install. What environment are
you using? Redhat - Centos? What version of nagios did you install/

Message-ID: 

I would sugest that you check that you've created the nagios user and group
as following the output of your command *ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/
*nagios should run under nagios user and nagios group.


if you did edit your nagios.cfg
Code:

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

and change the nagios_user and nagios_group to nagios
Code:

nagios_user=nagios
nagios_group=nagios

save it and try to restart nagios again.

I can't see anything quite matching either of those in the documentation.

Thank all for the help so far.

My Nagios is running now. 

Many of the sites I want to monitor are Java based sites. I want to know whether Nagios would report that the site is down if for instance Apache Tomcat or the db service is not running.

if you did edit your nagios.cfg


Code:vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfgand change the nagios_user and nagios_group to nagios


Code:nagios_user=nagios

I wouldn't have thought that would be the problem, no.

Take a look at the nagios log file which is probably
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

Don't forget my earlier recommendation to validate the Nagios config like so:


/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Did you try that, and if so what did it say?

Cheers,

Jim

If the services are on a Windows server, you can check whether they
are up either using an SNMP query ( the check_snmp_win plugin which
you'll find at http://nagios.manubulon.com/ ), or if you would prefer
not to use SNMP, then look at the NSClient++ agent for Nagios at
http://nsclient.org/nscp/ .  For simple web sites you can use
check_http to test that the web page is up and running too.

If you want a head start in understanding how the various plugins,
agents and add-ons for Nagios fit together, I recommend the book
"Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth published by No Starch Press.  It gives a
really good explanation from first principles and goes in to plenty of
detail too.

Hello all,

I have Nagios running on my system currently. I purposely shut down one of my sites and Nagios to monitor it. From the browser it's telling me that there is a problem which is ok for me but it does not send me a mail. I checked nagios log and this is what I saw

1282660775] SERVICE ALERT: seamfix;HTTP;CRITICAL;HARD;4;HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable - 616 bytes in 1.649 second response time
[1282660775] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagiosadmin;seamfix;HTTP;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-email;HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable - 616 bytes in 1.649 second response time

Is there any other thing I need to set on my OS (am using Cent OS) to get the mail to start working. Thanks

Ifeanyi Agu

Message-ID: 

Warning: Service 'TRAP' on host 'swfc6'  has a notification interval less than

the effective notification interval will be that of the check interval.

happens in these cases:

Can anyone explain why these warnings happen? Except for the first case, I don't
understand.

the reason this happens is that nagios can not send a notification based 
on an "old" data , the notification is relevant to the current status 
and that is related to the latest check .
now if your check interval is smaller then the notification , that means 
that nagios can do more checks and then send the alert on the latest data .

but if it is the other way around - it means that the alert sent might 
be based on out-of-date date and hence there is a strong possibility of 
a "false-positive" and nagios is reminding you of that possibility and 
also refrains from sending messages if it does not have a more current 
check .

AFAIK these intervals don't take time as their argument, but a
multiplier of 'interval_length' (by default, this is set to 60 seconds).

So Nagios probably ignores the 's' suffix and the resulting intervals
are all in minutes...

I guess you could set 'interval_length' to '1' (second) and set other
intervals accordingly (30, 60, 900, ...).

Damn. Shouldn't it tell me if it "throws sth. away".
Now instead of 30s I had 30 minutes all along which is a disaster.

I had the syntax for the seconds from

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

That seems to be the only command supporting this however. Duh.

Subject: Do plugins terminate gracefully on Nagios restart or
	shutdown?
Message-ID: <4C76BD7D.8000000@paul.dubuc.org>

I'm wondering if there is any termination signal sent to a plugin that happens 
to be executing at the time Nagios is restarted or shut down?  Do plugins need 
a signal handler for this case if they have cleanup that needs doing?  Do 
plugins using the embedded Perl also get a signal?  Is the signal different 
for restart vs. shutdown?

Or perhaps Nagios waits for plugins that are executing to finish while not 
starting any before doing the restart or shutdown.

I haven't found the answer to this in the development guidelines or other 
documentation.

Can anyone tell me how this is handled?

Thanks,
Paul Dubuc

Subject: Nagios script output issue
Message-ID: 

Hi Folks,

Nagios is acting a little weird for me, I have this external script which I
hooked into Nagios, it merely does a curl/wget on a URL and returns the
status based on string in the content/output. Initially for 2-3 hrs the
script returns the right status and Nagios reports correctly i.e. OK, WARN,
ERROR based on the exit from the script. After 2-3 hrs output which was (and
should be) OK or WARN starts returning CRITICAL and the output line says
"Application is" and not even "Application is ERROR" or "Application is
FATAL".

There is nothing in the logs to suggest what could be the problem. Have you
experienced this before and let me know the corrective action. I am running
Nagios on Mac OSX.

Here is the script for the curious -

#!/bin/bash

read URL < "$1"

STATUS=`curl -s $URL |grep summary|awk -F\" '{print $2}'`
echo "Application is $STATUS"
echo "curl $URL"

case $STATUS in
OK)
   exit 0
   ;;
WARN)
  exit 1
  ;;
ERROR)
  exit 2
  ;;
FATAL)
  exit 2
  ;;
*)
  exit 2
  ;;
esac

Thanks,

Allan.

I'm not sure.

The syntax:
  read URL < "$1"

seems a bit unusual.  Maybe I've misunderstood what it's doing, but
wouldn't this do the job more conventionally?:
  URL="$1"

Depending on how your application constructs the web page, it might
not be guaranteed that "summary" and the status will be on the same
line.

A small point, but I would normally use exit 3 rather than exit 2 for
that final *) catch-all case.

hth, but I'm not convinced it will!

I'm told that for this sort of thing webinject is good, but I haven't
tried it myself yet so am not sure how onerous it would be to install
and set up.

Jim

Hi,

 

I am using Nagios Version 3.0.6 on a Linux server to monitor the Windows
servers with NSClient++ installed on them.

 

For one of the Windows server the services are showing as ' CRITICAL -
Socket timeout after 90 seconds '

 

 

 

Please someone let me know what does this mean. What information can I
get from this alert.

 

How can I resolve this.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ravi G

Hello Alex,

I want to monitor Apache Tomcat (i.e. to know when it is running or not). I also want to monitor Postgres service.

My Nagios is working well now but I noticed that it does not send me mails. Am using Cent OS. Is there any other configuration I need to do outside or within Nagios that would enable mails to be sent?

Most likely the Nagios agent on the server has stopped responding.  It
might have simply stopped or there could be a firewall issue or
somesuch blocking access on whatever port nrpe is configured to use.

Hi,

 

I am using Nagios Version 3.0.6 on a Linux server to monitor the Windows
servers with NSClient++ installed on them.

 

For one of the Windows server the SQL Database services are showing as '
Service Check Timed Out '

 

 

 

Please someone let me know how can I resolve this. What information can
I get from this alert.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ravi G

Make sure that you have properly configured NSClient++ and that you can connect to It from the Nagios box?

Does your check work from the cmd  prompt?

Subject: Nagios script output issue
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: 

 Folks,

I switched to "check_http" plugin (official nagios plugin) but that also has
same problem.

Initially when I start nagios then the status on the Nagios Web interface is
same as the one returned from commandline.

After some time the status becomes critical but is not as same as the
commandline. Command line returns the correct status of OK instead of what
the Nagios web interface shows as "CRITICAL"

Result from commandline(& browser) -
./check_http -H xyz.com -p 2222 -u /abc -t 3
OK

Result from Nagios Interface -
nodename nor servname provided, or not known
HTTP CRITICAL - Unable to open TCP socket

I am thinking that this has something to do with Nagios as the box is
behaving just fine based on the commandline result(and verified on the URL
through the browser).

Please help!

Thanks,
Allan.

My current situation is that I have 2 core switches (Cisco 2960G's) in a
failover capability. Every one of our servers (Windows, RHEL & Solaris)
has NIC bonding/teaming enabled and obviously one switch serves network
access to NIC #0, the other switch serves network access to NIC #1.

I'm looking for the best way to setup failover monitoring of the switch
ports and server connections under my setup.

On the server part, you should go with:
 - monitor physical interfaces (snmp)
 - monitor bonding sytatus (in /proc/net/bonding/bond0, or the sysfs equivalent)

Moreover, you could monitor network interfaces on the switch side. You can for example, use custom variables to store switch ports on server side.

Subject: Are service contacts 'inherited' from respective
	host?
Message-ID: <4C7B73B5.2010203@agenda.si>

 Hi,

I'm monitoring a bunch of hosts and each of these hosts has at least two
services used to monitor and graph ping RTA and packet-loss. Hosts
configurations are organized in several .cfg files (by building), there
is also a hostgroup definition grouping all hosts in a building.
However, hosts in a building can have different contacts...

I defined services using hostgroups - like this:

define service {
        use template
        hostgroup_name MYHOSTGROUP
}

I was hoping a service that doesn't have a contact definition would
'inherit' the contact from the host - but it seems that's not the case.

Is there a way to make that happen? Or will I need to define services
one-by-one while and add contact definition to each?

  Danilo

Subject: Suggestion: Macro cleansing/clean_macro_chars() in
 macros.c should not allow trailing \
Message-ID: <4C7B7E19.7050100@sneakemail.com>

Hi,

clean_macro_chars() basically removes illegal_output_chars from char 
*macro if(options & STRIP_ILLEGAL_MACRO_CHARS).

Now, by default '\' is not an illegal output char, so it is not 
stripped. However that can cause problems if e.g. we have a

command_line plugin arg0 $STRIPPED_MACRO$ arg2

Consider:

$STRIPPED_MACRO$ = normal

plugin sees:

arg0: arg0
arg1: normal
arg2: arg2

All is well. However, if:

$STRIPPED MACRO$ = foo\

arg0: arg0
arg1: foo arg2
arg2: NULL

The trailing backslash from foo cases the space to be backslashed. It 
can be avoided by putting in two spaces after $STRIPPED_MACRO$ in the 
command_line but that isn't quite intuitive, is it? This value could 
arise from the before-stripping values of $STRIPPED_MACRO$: "foo\", 
"foo\$", "foo\>" etc.

I suggest that if stripping is to be truly safe, somehow it should be 
possible to avoid trailing backslashes as that messes up the args given 
to plugins.

Peter

(Yes, in another thread in nagios-devel I'm talking about Custom Object 
Variables and cleansing, but I think this applies to cleansing in 
general so I post it as a separate subject. Hope that is ok.)

Hi,

What Nagios version do you use?
Since Nagios 3.0 contact_groups, notification_interval, notification_period are inherited from the related host definition if you don't explicitly specify them in the service object or an inherited template.

Subject: Help needed: How do you configure dynamic thresholds
	depending on	timeframes.
Message-ID: <20100830125353.6ngbf7y34s8cc4sc@localhost>


Help needed: How do you configure dynamic thresholds depending on timeframes.

Example.   -w = 80 -c = 90 during business hours but -w = 90 -c = 95  
outsite business hours.

How can we configure into nagios dynamic thresholds depending on  
timeframes: Part II

define service{
         use                             local-service         ; Name  
of service template to use
         host_name                       localhost
         service_description             Current Users
       check_command                   check_local_users!20!50
       check_period		nonworkhours
       notification_period		nonworkhours
         }

define service{
         use                             local-service         ; Name  
of service template to use
         host_name                       localhost
         service_description             Current Users
       check_command                   check_local_users!40!60
       check_period		workhours
       notification_period		workhours
         }

In my above example i dit configure the same test twice. The two  
timeframes 'nonworkhours' en 'workhours' together equals 24x7

Is this way of configuring allowed. Because this solves my problem.

1) how will the nagios scheduling react on this configuration?

2) how will the display react on this configuration?

check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the  
time period during which active checks of this service can be made.

If you do not use the check_period directive to specify a timeperiod,  
Nagios will be able to schedule active
checks of the host or service anytime it needs to. This is essentially  
a 24x7 monitoring scenario.

Specifying a timeperiod in the check_period directive allows you to  
restrict the time that Nagios perform
regularly scheduled, active checks of the host or service. When Nagios  
attempts to reschedule a host or
service check, it will make sure that the next check falls within a  
valid time range within the defined
timeperiod. If it doesn?t, Nagios will adjust the next check time to  
coincide with the next "valid" time in
the specified timeperiod. This means that the host or service may not  
get checked again for another hour,
day, or week, etc.

Timeperiods:
Exclusions and Host/Service Checks - There is a bug in the  
service/host check scheduling logic
that rears its head when you use timeperiod definitions that use the  
excludedirective. The
problem occurs when Nagios Core tries to re-schedule the next check.  
In this case, the
scheduling logic may incorrectly schedule the next check further out  
in the future than it
should. In essence, it skips over the (missing) logic where it could  
determine an earlier possible
time using the exception times. Imperfect Solution: Don?t use  
timeperiod definitions that
exclude other timeperods for your host/service check periods. A fix is  
being worked on, and
will hopefully make it into a 3.4.x release.

It seems like you may have multiple nagios daemons running at the same time; one that's using a previously bad config, and one with a good new config.

Stop nagios, verify that all nagios processes are dead and restart.

Hi,

we're using 3.0.6, so this should work... Oh well, I guess I'll just dig
a bit deeper then.

Thanks for the info,

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your reply, I checked on the multiple process of Nagios but there
is only one running.

Any other thing you can think of which might be causing this odd behaviour?

Thanks,

Subject: Help hacking a script to montior my AppServers?
Message-ID: 

I am trying to monitor our OpenEdge Database Application Servers on our AIX box with Nagios, and to send an alert based on a "tricky" situation, described below:

The tool that I run locally on the AIX host to check our servers outputs the following:

#asbman -name production -query

I would want Nagios to raise an alert if State = SENDING for more than 6 hours (Last Change)? Would this be possible?

Anyone have an idea of how I would do this?

I guess one way would be to make a shell script to output "asbman -name production -query | grep "SENDING" >> status.txt" and have a check log type check read it and raise an error if stuff is found? But it does not exactly implement the "Last Change" date time idea, we will always have PIDs going from AVAILABLE to SENDING and back, but those that are stuck in SENDING for 6+ hours is of concern.

Any help on this is appreciated.

You will have to write your script in a way that it is able to parse the 
date fields in that output and calculate the difference between that 
time and the current time..

Is it possible to have that program output UNIX timestamps instead? If 
not, it will require you to get creative with awk, Perl, shell, etc. 
scripting to parse the fields properly in order to do the required math 
to determine how long it has been in that state.

Depending on how long that binary takes to run (e.g., if it takes less 
than a few seconds), you may not need to have it run separately and 
output data to a text file. You may be able to just have your custom 
plugin script run it and parse the output directly.

Message-ID: 

One more thing I would like to add here , I have 5 URLs check , 2 thru
check_http and 3 thru my own curl script and all of them fail at the same
time, initially for 2-3 hrs all are returning the right status.

The error  that I am getting from Nagios(check_http) - "nodename nor
servname provided, or not known HTTP CRITICAL - Unable to open TCP socket"
is somewhat as if the dns server becomes inaccessible but when I run the
commands from the command line, the status is fine. Is there something
within Nagios that I need to set/configure?

Please help!

Thanks,
Allan.

Message-ID: 

clearly there something wrong with the check configuration.
Maybe some duplicated conf.
you could debug the script output (see nagios.cfg file)

Subject: Different notification_interval for warnings and
	critical notifications?
Message-ID: <5275A165-97A3-40D2-A304-AFDD78A941D9@emergentdiscovery.com>

With Nagios 3.0.5, we have monitoring of our servers and hosts.

Currently, we get warning, unknown, critical, and recovery event  
notifications sent to our contacts with escalations as expected.

We want to change the configuration to get warnings every 30 minutes  
and other event notifications every 5 minutes with escalations.   
Unfortunately,
	notification_interval
which controls how often the notification is set can have only one  
value for each service.	

The only way I see to do get the warnings and other notifications on  
different schedules is to have duplicate service checks for every  
service.

Is there any way to do this without duplicating all of the service  
checks?

Thanks,
Bob

 From what you say the changes should be in the escalation notification 
, with the type of alert defined for each interval

*escalation_options*: This directive is used to define the criteria that 
determine when this service escalation is used. The escalation is used 
only if the service is in one of the states specified in this directive. 
If this directive is not specified in a service escalation, the 
escalation is considered to be valid during all service states. Valid 
options are a combination of one or more of the following: *r* = 
escalate on an OK (recovery) state, *w* = escalate on a WARNING state, 
*u* = escalate on an UNKNOWN state, and *c* = escalate on a CRITICAL 
state. Example: If you specify *w* in this field, the escalation will 
only be used if the service is in a WARNING state.
