From ecables at gmail.com Thu Jul 1 02:18:02 2010 From: ecables at gmail.com (Eric Cables) Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:18:02 -0700 Subject: Nagios hangs on startup Message-ID: Sorry to bug the list, but my 3.2.1 installation of Nagios has all of a sudden stopped starting. I noticed a lack of alerts over the last day, and when I checked the GUI it indicated that the "next" scheduled check for a service was in the past. I proceeded to stop/start Nagios, but both have failed. Currently when I try to start Nagios using the init script it just hangs: [nagios at psdbsd01 (~/etc)]$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh start Starting nagios: I've enabled debug logging (-1 level, 2 verbosity), but this is all that shows up in nagios.debug when I issue the above start request (uid 1003 = nagios): [1277942532.270096] [001.0] [pid=46503] drop_privileges() start [1277942532.270194] [004.0] [pid=46503] Original UID/GID: 1003/1003 I can run nagios -v nagios.cfg, and it reports no errors. Here's the output if I run nagios nagios.cfg manually, without invoking daemon mode: [nagios at psdbsd01 (~/etc)]$ ../bin/nagios ./nagios.cfg Nagios Core 3.2.1 Copyright (c) 2009-2010 Nagios Core Development Team and Community Contributors Copyright (c) 1999-2009 Ethan Galstad Last Modified: 03-09-2010 License: GPL Website: http://www.nagios.org Any tips? I am not sure what the next steps are since both logging and debugging aren't producing output, and Nagios has never taken more than a few seconds to start in the past. -- Eric Cables -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My nagios server hosts on Debian box while agents on Debian and Centos (all installed from official binary packages) and the problem is check_nrpe always returns this "NRPE: No output returned from plugin" error when I check NRPE on any Centos host and this is true with all plugins - all of them does not return anything. I turned on debug at one Centos host but still it does not show me anything, when I run from nagios host: ./check_nrpe -H centos.host.com -c check_load I always get "NRPE: Unable to read output" and there is nothing in syslog at agent's host in spite of debug is on. My assumption was that command definitions on Centos host side use path to plugins that is different from Debian, for example: command[check_load]="/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20" [Debian host] command[check_load]="/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20" [Centos host] but I made symbolic link so that plugins could be called by the same path - it didn't help. When I run command locally, all works just fine: su nrpe -c "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20" OK - load average: 1.28, 0.97, 0.97|load1=1.280;15.000;30.000;0; load5=0.970;10.000;25.000;0; load15=0.970;5.000;20.000;0; while from nagios server: ./check_nrpe -H centos.host.com -c check_load NRPE: Unable to read output The weird part of it is that all plugins work fine on debian hosts. Nagios uses the same host, service and command definitions for all monitored hosts (both debian and centos) and I really wonder what's wrong with centos nrpe agents :/ If anyone have any ideas, please try to help. P.S. I use Nagios server v.3 (from Debian lenny) and Nrpe agents versions are the same on Debian and Centos (v.2.12). -- best regards, Yuris Linux System Engineer, SMTP.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

I have two central servers incase there is a failure with one of these nodes. Central Server A is configured to send out all notifications. Central Server B is configured to monitor Central Server A, and in the event a check failure notifications will be enabled. My problem is that with only one active service check I appear to be experiencing massive latency issues with this check ~500 seconds. Does anyone know why this might be? If I cannot get this working within nagios, I might just configure a cronjob to moitor the other server and run the external command in the event of a failure. Any help would be appreciated.

What, if anything, shows up in your nagios.log file? Check you don't already have a nagios daemon running (ps -ef | grep nagios) before you start it again. Check that the lock file isn't there from the previous invocation (if you did a standard install from source tarballs the file is /var/lock/subsys/nagios). Check that the Nagios command file /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd doesn't exist before you start nagios. Use full pathnames when attempting to verify your config, for example: /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

I tried suggested workaround, defining "check_nrpe_no_ssl" as "$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -n" and defining service as "check_nrpe_no_ssl!check_load" and running nrpe deamon no centos host with "-n" option - result is just the same, "NRPE: Unable to read output" However, when I do "./check_nrpe -H centos.host.com" it does return me nrpe version correctly ("NRPE v2.12"). From all this steps I figured that it is not about ssl at all - nrpe version is returned correctly with ssl and without it. Interesting, that in nagios server debug log I see that remote NRPE returns output that nagios check_nrpe cannot parse, it returns similar output, that I would get if call /usr/sbin/nrpe without arguments: [1277983505.131702] [016.2] [pid=17495] Parsing check output...

The machine is a FreeBSD 8 with Nagios 3.2.1 and Postfix 2.7.0. I?ve used the below plugin on a Fedora 8 machine, with no problems, but FreeBSD seems to have problems with it. The error reads: (Service check did not exit properly) and the logs show: Warning: Check of service 'Postfix Mail Queue' on host 'localhost' did not exit properly! I did modify just one line: use lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec" ; to use lib "/usr/local/libexec/nagios" ; Anyone see what I?m doing wrong? I've googled and googled, but to no avail. Thanks!

I ended up rebooting the box, which fixed the problem temporarily, but it has resurfaced again. When I drill down into a service check it says that the next check will be processed at a time that has already passed. For example: Last Check: 13:09 Next Check: 13:11 The current time on, however, is 14:02... When I try to stop the process via the init script I get the following: [nagios at psdbsd01 (~/var)]$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh stop Stopping nagios: .......... Warning - nagios did not exit in a timely manner The cmd file does not exist prior to attempting to start, after stopping, but I back to the problem where Nagios will not start and instead hangs indefenitely when requested to start. [nagios at psdbsd01 (~/var)]$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh start Starting nagios: <-- hangs here I'm not sure about the lock file, this is a FreeBSD install from source, and I don't see a /var/lock directory at all. Everything Nagios related is installed in /usr/local/nagios as far as I can tell. There doesn't seem to be anything of interest in nagios.log, as the last entry just reports a notification that was sent out prior to Nagios losing its functionality. Any other tips? I'm not exactly sure why a reboot fixed this before, but any speculation is appreciated. -- Eric Cables On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 6:05 AM, Jim Avery wrote: > On 1 July 2010 01:18, Eric Cables wrote: > > Sorry to bug the list, but my 3.2.1 installation of Nagios has all of a > > sudden stopped starting.

I am running syslog-ng, and after restarting the daemon I was able to start Nagios without any problems. Local 'su - nagios' commands also work without any delay. I suspect that some interaction between Nagios and syslog-ng is causing Nagios to stop working, and the subsequent restart fails as a result of that original problem. I'll probably move this problem to the syslog-ng mailing list, but has anyone ever seen this before? At the very least maybe this will provide someone who has this problem in the future with more information. -- Eric Cables On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 2:36 PM, Eric Cables wrote: > Well, I tried to duplicate the command that is showing up in the 'ps -xw' > output, and it just hangs. > > [nagios at psdbsd01 (~)]$ whoami > nagios > [nagios at psdbsd01 (~)]$ su - nagios -c touch > /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat > > ^^ hangs here. > > In fact, if I just try to 'su - nagios' the process hangs as well. > > Using su with other parameters works, however, so the binary seems to > function: > [nagios at psdbsd01 (~)]$ su - > Password: > [root at psdbsd01 (~)]# > > And su - nagios from the root user appears to work fine. > [root at psdbsd01 (~)]# su - nagios > [nagios at psdbsd01 (~)]$ > > But su - nagios does not (as the nagios user): > [nagios at psdbsd01 (~)]$ su - nagios > > ^^ hangs > > Sorry for all the noise. > > -- Eric Cables > > > > On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 2:15 PM, Eric Cables wrote: > >> Here are a few more details I've been able to gather. >> >> Here's the output of a truss on the init script w/ the start statement: >> Starting nagios:write(1,"Starting nagios:",16) = 16 >> (0x10) >> fork(0x90,0xbfbfe9f8,0xa,0x8062a35,0x0,0x0) = 55445 (0xd895) >> getpgrp(0x0,0x0,0xd895,0x0,0x2831c0c0,0x0) = 55444 (0xd894) >> wait4(0xffffffff,0xbfbfe9d8,0x2,0x0,0x213,0x1) = 55445 (0xd895) >> stat("/sbin/su",0xbfbfe6f8) ERR#2 'No such file or >> directory' >> stat("/bin/su",0xbfbfe6f8) ERR#2 'No such file or >> directory' >> stat("/usr/sbin/su",0xbfbfe6f8) ERR#2 'No such file or >> directory' >> stat("/usr/bin/su",{ mode=-r-sr-xr-x >> ,inode=14512669,size=14496,blksize=4096 }) = 0 (0x0) >> fork(0x0,0x0,0x4b156e10,0x0,0x0,0x0) = 55446 (0xd896) >> getpgrp(0x0,0x0,0xd896,0x0,0x2831c0c0,0x0) = 55444 (0xd894) >> >> ^^^ This is where it hangs. >> >> ps -ax | grep nagios shows the following: >> 55443 6 I+ 0:00.02 truss /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh start >> 55444 6 IX 0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh start >> 55447 6 S 0:00.07 su - nagios -c touch >> /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat >> >> Here is retention.dat (not sure why it would hang here): >> -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 2008435 Jul 1 12:26 retention.dat >> >> These are really the only clues I'm able to find at this point. >> >> -- Eric Cables >> >> >> >> On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 2:09 PM, Eric Cables wrote: >> >>> Thanks for the reply.

The bot detection works by looking at the standard deviation of requests from a specific host. We don't want our own monitoring to get blocked by our bot detection script, and for a variety of reasons, we don't want to deal with putting in exceptions in our bot detection system. We used to monitor with a manually written script. It was easy then: it ran in a loop, and after each check, it would sleep for 5 minutes plus another 0-300 seconds, with the specific number of seconds chosen at random. We're having trouble porting this into our shiny new nagios monitoring system. The only idea I've had so far involves changing the service check interval to something large (say 60 minutes), as a 'fallback' in case of failure, and then having the service check itself re-schedule itself by sending nagios a command. I'm not sure that would work and it seems pretty ugly and I'm not sure if it would be that easy to implement (mostly because I haven't worked with manual nagios commands before). Can anyone think of a better way? Thanks in advance, Jaden -- Jaden Bentley jaden.bentley at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Certainly, under Red Hat or Debian flavours of Linux, the start/stop script is called "nagios" rather than "nagios.sh" and lives under /etc/init.d . It might be worth checking what the differences are. Having said that, if I recall I had to make some changes to the standard init script to get it working nicely under Ubuntu. It's one of those areas where it would be really nice if all the distro people could agree a standard and stick to it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

You can set up the check as a passive check in Nagios. Run the check from a similar looping script like you had before to do the random timing stuff and have it send the result back to nagios either directly using the command interface or using send_nsca and have nsca submit the result to Nagios. See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/passivechecks.html and the nsca_wrapper script is useful for such stuff.

Having a smaller database would help immensely when NDO periodically truncates old data. Also, make sure that you have the proper database table indexes created. Also consider converting the tables to InnoDB. The default install of NDO doesn't have things fully optimized as well as it should be for large installations. Missing indexes would also cause MySQL to hang while searching the tables for old data to remove, and with MyISAM the table would be locked during the delete.

I think the parallelize_check directive for services is deprecated in Nagios 3. Even if it does still work in version 3 Nagios, I would question whether it is desireable to have Nagios not run any other checks at all for ten whole seconds while one of these checks is run, especially if there are quite a few of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

That will show you where the equivalent directory for your install is.

Contaminating the result of one test with data from other tests running at the same time makes this particular test completely useless.

Another trick which seems to make a huge difference was to create a file "/etc/mysql/conf/conf.d/nagios.cnf containing: [mysqld] innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2 I'm not a MySQL dba so can't explain what this does precisely. Suffice it to say you sacrifice a bit of reliability for some speed. Anyone looking to implement this change is recommended to read up on what it is before doing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

That's not what the Changelog file from the source tarball for nagios 3.2.1 says: * Service check logic changes: - 'parallelize' option in service definitions deprecated/no longer used - Added cached_service_check_horizon option for enabling use of cached service check results - Added enable_predictive_service_dependency_checks for enabling predictive checks of dependent services And it's no longer listed in the v3 documentation at: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service but was in version 2: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service I still reckon it's better to run such a check from an external script and submit the results passively to Nagios. If contamination is a problem you can run the checks in serial from the same script and run them on a clean server to avoid clashes with anything else which might be on the local lan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

NSClient++ as well as doing lots of other things will listen for and (if configured to do so) respond to nrpe requests. In Nagios, the "check_nrpe" plugin is used to request remote execution of a plugin and to receive the result. Put simply, if you want to run a plugin and get the result but the plugin is actually run on the remote (in this case Windows) server rather than the local Nagios server you use nrpe. You don't need to install the nrpe daemon on the Nagios side, but you do need to use the check_nrpe plugin to query the other systems. The relevant page in the documentation is http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/addons.html#nrpe but to be honest if you want a really good head start in understanding Nagios I recommend the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth published by NoStarch Press. No doubt there are other good books around and I'm not up to date with the latest but I found that one really helpful myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

So long as you are pretty sure you don't need them yes you could no problem.

I would think the Fedora quick start would be pretty similar to Centos so in the official docs see http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-fedora.html Alternatively, google for a Centos-specific guide for example: http://www.kernelhardware.org/install-nagios-on-centos-5/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Looked but didn't see anything 'interesting' but the defaults for logging look to be ***everything*** and going to syslog also. I started tuning it down a bit but "reload" doesn't work :-) so I'll have to kill -15 the pid to get the logging down to where I can see anything. I also need to look at the init script a little closer to see if there was some change during the upgrade (3.0.6 - 3.2.1) that I'm not seeing. Thanks to all for your suggestions. I got pulled sideways (right after posting) so have to get back to it again. I was hoping this was a problem that others had seen (I've only been on the list about a year). Looks like it's a dig-deeper thing.

IMHO, the "correct" way is to use escalations with escalation_period and escalation_options to specify different behavior during the night. You can have two escalation chains, one that is in effect for weeknights and weekends and one that is in effect during normal business hours. You can also specify that a certain contact should only be notified for certain states, but then you'd have to have two contact definitions. This would be a good idea if you have a dedicated "on call" email and/or phone number.

Since I have merged checks from 2 old slave servers to a single new, much more powerful slave server, the new slave server has been logging a large number of orphaned service and host checks. For example, of 24347 lines in the current log file, 4489 refer to orphaned service checks and 808 refer to host checks. The slave server runs 17985 checks for 732 hosts. Does anyone know what sort of problem causes orphaned checks ? Is there any tuning that I can apply to solve this problem ? Running command "nagios -s /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg" does not suggest any configuration changes. My servers run Scientific Linux version 5.2 (SL 5 is a recompiled version of Redhat 5).

You can work around this limitation by setting one of the $USER$ macros in your resource file to a semicolon and then referencing the appropriate $USER$ macro in the command_line directive in place of the semicolon.

You need to run it from a host on the LAN that your DHCP server answers on. In most cases you cannot run this plugin on the DHCP server itself as they are most often configured *not* to give answers to themselves. If you're limited to running something on the DHCP server itself, you'll likely only be able to look to see if the DHCP process/service is running. How that's done depends on the OS of the server and how you can get to it from the Nagios machine. > > -- > Marc > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the > world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference > attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through > interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-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 > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Look for distributed monitoring in the documentation. It's fairly simple to set up. Keep in mind that if you declare the public Nagios server to be the master, that means that information leaves the corporate network; you may not want to do that. You could also declare the corporate Nagios server to be the master. In that case, the public server would send information to the corporate one. Or you could keep the two completely separate.

I have set up a Nagios 3 host server here at corporate running NRPE to monitor the servers at each location. I also want to monitor the 15 linux clients at each location, I wanted to have one of the servers in each remote location check the clients and report to the host Nagios server instead of having all report back. Would each local server have to have nagios core installed to monitor the local clients? And then report back to the main core server ? Can the NRPE running on the local server be used to check the client & then report it back to the host server? Could I use a check_by_ssh from the local server to the client and still get the info back to the main Nagios server? Should I run NSCA to get passive checks from the clients to the main server? I assume with nsca, each client would have to still report back, if so, I might as well just use active checks. Could I do a multiple parent-child with the main server being a parent to each remote server & each remote server being a parent to all of the local clients? I am looking for the most straightforward & least taxing way to the admin ( me ) and the systems/network to do this.

I hear it again and again on the lists that it's bad, but I've been running my production Nagios server on an ESX VM for 6 months and the performance is actually better than running it on a comparable physical box. And yes, I understand the flaws in running a monitoring system on a resource that I'm monitoring. :) It's simply *much* more cost effective and easier administratively for me to run on a VM. I would prefer a physical box myself, just to not have that set of dependencies. A few numbers: * ESX VM running on our production ESX clusters: 2 x CPU, 2GB RAM, usually about ~ 2s host and service latency * Physical box: 1 x CPU (4 cores), 2GB RAM, usually about ~ 50s host and service latency I ran that way for three weeks testing, and the performance on the physical box was much, much worse.

It probably would of helped to include some of this information. It would be a large deployment in terms of what I have seen others using. There could be ~12 servers each with ~1,500 hosts and 300,000 service checks (almost all NSCA). We expect a lot of service checks per host so we want to keep the number of hosts homed to each server below 2,000. I hope this helps.

I realize the common opinion is that it is a bad idea due to I/O but I am looking for something a bit more in depth. We run a large part of our environment on VMware, however there are certain things that we deem worthy of hardware, Nagios being one of them. Since we rely on Nagios to inform us of problems across our environment, we need it to be highly reliable, with performance being a lesser consideration. We've experience issues with VMware that cause large numbers of guests to lock up, and if this happened to Nagios we wouldn't know, or have as deep a level of alerting. However, if you really like the idea of running it in a vm, I'd suggest putting a simple "is Nagios alive" type test outside VMware somewhere, to give you an extra layer of protection should the guest have troubles. I've not compared performance between hardware and a guest, so can't comment there. -kent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Same here. We take the philosophy with wanting Nagios on separate hardware running nothing else but monitoring and graphing/trending. For the exact same reasons listed, we want to know if there's a problem with one of our virtualization servers, and if Nagios was a VM on the same box that's having a problem, we wouldn't get those notifications. My Nagios instance is on an older server with a RAID 1, and of course backed up, so it could easily be restored should the machine die. Of course running it as a VM allows the use of snapshots and very very easy backup and restores, but I still think having it isolated is important.

That is, the time on a VM should be sync'd with a time source so no time is lost. However, the VM has what I like to think of as "seconds of variable length". So when we tested with a VM a few years ago, the latency and execution timings and calculations were really screwy. There were checks that Nagios thought ran in "-0.15" seconds, for example. Considering that this was information that we cared about, we chose to stick with a physical box. And yes, I/O is now an increasing concern for us so a VM would be even less likely. That said, I know another team who has much lighter requirements (they just want alerts, don't care about latencies (yet)) and they've been on a VM for years now with Nagios.

Also, with 300,000 services the standard nagios web interface could end up being quite slow. Our deployment has just over 21,000 services (multiple remote collectors feeding data back into a primary collector, all dual dual-core or dual quad-core Xeons with 4-8GB RAM). Even though the main server is overpowered and has lots of spare server resources, it takes 6 seconds for *any* page to be rendered (we store the Nagios status file on a ramdisk but it still takes several seconds to parse 35MB of text on every page reload). Due to the number of people we have using it (anywhere from 20-40 users refreshing the page twice a minute), we were forced long ago to build a custom front end that is integrated into an existing equipment database (which is also used to build the Nagios config files) using NDOutils to extract the data from Nagios. (I still need to test and implement a better solution than NDO due to the amount of time it takes to repopulate the database after reloading the Nagios configs.) In order to head off any future scaling issues, I've even began abstracting various functionality out of Nagios into external scripts, e.g., sending notifications (sending a Jabber notification takes almost a second for the script to initialize the connection to our Jabber server, which is way too long and causes latency in Nagios when there are multiple host/service issues), adding/removing comments and acknowledgements, and as scheduling downtime (it's hard to usefully save historical comment, acknowledgement, and downtime data using only Nagios).

I also have ndoUtils setup for collecting historical data. My setup is described below. master server - running nagios and ndoutils collecting data. The master is also sending host state and service state data using nsca to failover server. master server has active host check, service check and notification enabled. slave server - running nagios and partial ndoutil. no active checks are being done in this slave server. The slave server also has notification disabled. nsca daemon is listening for service and host status from master server. The problem: I am facing the problem where acknowledgements and comments are not up to date in the slave server. I can possibly transfer the retention file to slave server and fix the comments part of the problem. However I do not know how to get all the acknowledgements transfer to the slave server. It would be great if someone can point me to the right direction, how I can solve the acknowledgement problem I describe above.

Have you tried it? I don't know if separate 'use' directives work. I use a comma separated list with one 'use' directive: use an_escalation_template,a_notification_template,an_action_template Remember that the order is important. Anything defined in the first template takes precedence.

Initially i thought that there is something wrong with the command definition , but that was rulled out , then i thought it might be a problem in the plugin , so i recompiled it and re installed , that did not solve the issue . I Stopped Nagios completely to make sure all nagios processes are cleared form the process table , but still the issue returns , my last idea is to reboot the server ( which I loath to do ) , does anyone have encountered a similar issue ?

The errors were introduced in 1.4b8 and persist into 1.4b9. I'm running on Solaris-10 SPARC. The last SQL query I seem to see in the debug log is when the ndo2db daemon tries inserting a row into the Nagios_customvariables table. I'm tired of banging my head on it.

If you had a data set of information on Nagios installations you may find an average service checks/hosts ratio but I don't really understand the purpose. People are going to want to monitor different things and at different scales the number of things that they can checked per host may be limited because of the sheer number of hosts and the nagios server(s) ability to process them. If your service checks are all being performed in a timely fashion then I wouldn't worry about checking too many things. If you find yourself wishing you had a nagios alert for something, add a service check and see if the nagios servers(s) are still able to process their checks satisfactorily. -- Kyle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

The limit is what your HW can handle and what your people can handle seeing per host. Our teams try to make checks that check multiple elements at once to reduce the numbers of checks per host without loss of alarm granularity - for example, our disk checks check all partitions on a host and allow for rich thresholding - user can specify many thresholds to check per service. Same for critical processes - one check to look for all critical processes and report any that have failed. - Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Look at nagios parameters Max_service_check_spread, max_host_check_spread as well as the various params for individual services such as check_interval If you have a check that takes a long time to complete, you'll probably want to run it less frequently. If the client were Unix, not windows, you'd have the luxury of being able to run the check on the host in question. This can be done either via cron and have it generate a status file that nagios then checks or using NSCA.

I'm not so worried about the monitoring server. It has lots of head room, and/but I will continue to monitor that. I was mainly interested to know about people's experiences using nagios with a lot of checks per host in terms of usability (web interface), configuration, etc. i.e. would it be of any value to focus on checking multiple items per check rather than having an individual check per monitored item as one person suggested. I'm just wondering what people think of using the tools with 100 (or more) checks per host. ..just general opinion / experiences... also wondering about load from checks on the monitored hosts... i.e. it would suck if monitoring actually caused degradation in performance... does having a lot of checks on a host cause problems? i.e. I've got the basics covered - cpu, memory, disk. now i'm adding a lot of application specific checks - queues, performance counters, log file pattern matches, etc. is there a break point (not on the nagios server, but rather on the clients, or in the UI)? thanks for the replies.

The golden rule I use is only monitor something if someone actually wants to know. In practice this means I monitor disk space, memory, cpu and whether the virus checker is ok for almost every WIntel server, but everything else just depends. The support teams soon tell me if they don't want monitoring on something! I guess the most checks I have on any server is about 40 - where the server runs stuff for half a dozen similar accounts and each account needs a handful of checks. The most I have on any 'host' is 94 - where a wireless switch has 90-odd access points connected and I need to know if any of them drop off. There are lots of devices which I just ping - a third party does the detailed monitoring for those - I do the ping to make sure the third party is doing their job okay. Whether all this is 'normal' I can't say for sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

In our setup, we get notification for a "service down" during the host schedule downtime period because it looks like that the check result of that event is stored in nagios/var/spool/checkresults/xxx and reap_check_results() comes along sometime after the schedule downtime and generates output based on the old results. This causes some annoying SMS alerts because they come in a day later at odd times. Have anyone seen this before? Let me know if I need to provide more info for you to comment.

I looked at the lists and didn't see the indices and constraints alluded to here. Can you point them out, please. I'll back out the changes I applied to the database with the 1.4b9 update. However, 1.4b9 *does* provide some additional indices that dramatically speed up certain maintenance operations, so I don't want to lose those.

If that's the case, yes, your authentication is fine. As the nagios user on the remote host, *copy-and-pasting* that exact command (inside the single quotes) into the shell works?

Waitaminute... Where did that "Authorized users only" part come from? Nagios expects a single line of text, and SSH commands typically don't display banners (in my experience). Is that a banner that appears from the remote host? I wonder if that is confusing things. Can it be temporarily disabled to see if it changes the behavior?

If you're running a recent release of OpenSSH, you might be able to use a match directive to skip the banner for connections originating with your Nagios server...

Given this, I'll second the recommendation to stay at 1.4b7, although if you have a very large number of hosts and/or services you may want to add some indexes to the database schema to improve the basic housekeeping performance as old data get culled out. +-----------------------------------------+----------------------------+ | Carl Richard Friend (UNIX Sysadmin) | Natick, Massachusetts, USA | | Minicomputer Collector / Enthusiast | 01760-2098 | | mailto:carl_friend at mathworks.com +----------------------------+ | http://users.rcn.com/crfriend/museum | ICBM: +42:18:00 -71:21:03 | +-----------------------------------------+----------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 10:05:14 -0400 Subject: NDO only processing some hosts In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4C3DC41A.9040000@herb-j.com> Unless you wish to somehow modify the source code to ignore certain hosts (a very risky proposition unless you are good at C), I'd recommend against trying to limit the number of hosts that NDO puts in the database. Also, having that many services in NDO shouldn't be an issue with the hardware you are running (we have almost 7 times as many hosts and services in our Nagios installation and NDO doesn't take any time to save the data). There are a number of database optimizations that can be done to the MySQL database tables. For starters, make sure all of your tables are using InnoDB instead of MyISAM. Secondly, you may wish to lower the amount of time that NDO saves some of the various metrics (e.g., service check data) because smaller tables are easier to prune old data from. And depending on the data you need exported, you may also wish to modify the "data_processing_options directive in the NDO config file. Depending on how you extract the data from the NDO database, you may need to add an extra table index here and there to speed things up.

That *should* cause ssh to suppress any remote-side banner/motd from being displayed in-session. I learned that one a few years ago, when automating some business logic, to reduce the amount of logging taking place. It should suit your purposes here (if it is, in fact, that extra line of text that's throwing off the check).

Is there a way to do this? I thought about writing it as a localhost service plugin that simply does nothing if $LASTSERVICECHECK$ > $PROCESSSTARTTIME$ but that doesn't seem optimal. It this the best solution? It would be nice if I could write it as an event handler, but events are only for host or service state changes.

Thanks! > The int vs long problem is normally handled by the compiler, I just changed the way queries are being prepared and handled due to the fact that I wanted IDOUtils to support Postgresql and Oracle too in combination with Icinga Core and the new Icinga Web. So this is a minor flaw, and not causing segfaults on NDOUtils - I just provided that patch too in order to resolve all issues. Sadly this did not reach the community yet, but it can be easily patched yourself - as you just did ;-) > I looked at the lists and didn't see the indices and constraints > alluded to here. Can you point them out, please. Hmmm well we had several discussions on nagios-devel and some off-list too. And especially while developing on the Nagios fork, Icinga. Basically it came up with the duplicated row issue on the servicechecks table which happened to affect systemcommands and timedevents too. It was a major bug in Icinga IDOUtils back in November 2009, which has been evaluated and fixed - also providing upgrade scripts for preventing data loss of existing installations. Postgresql and Oracle were not affected since their unique constraints are fulfilled within the WHERE clauses too. Was quite an easy way to resolve that, but the discussion about NDOUtils having that bug too on the nagios-devel lists died silently in a proposed RFC and nothing happened since then. http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net/msg29949.html http://markmail.org/message/uhpzyksg4dieiulh#query:[Nagios-devel]%20[RFC]%20-%20NDOUtils%20duplicate%20lines%20problem+page:1+mid:qnt2titl2px3cck2+state:results http://markmail.org/message/kz56ajbcthumdx7r?q=[Nagios-devel]+NODutils:+Duplicate+lines+in+servicechecks+table+for+each+service+check&page=1&refer=lxmgqlihzdy4jbg2 http://markmail.org/message/lxmgqlihzdy4jbg2 The proposed way to fix that can be found in the Icinga Dev Tracker: https://dev.icinga.org/issues/173 https://dev.icinga.org/issues/181 https://dev.icinga.org/issues/195 https://dev.icinga.org/issues/209 Considering the newly introduced BINARY select of rows within the objects table - as we discussed about case sensitive WHERE conditions - it comes to another performance issue. The binary comparison of two values might work in smaller environments and without the need of hitting quite high performance on queries. Since MySQL does not set the case sensitive collation to columns by default, the binary comparison was just a workaround to compare that bit by bit. The real solution would have been in changing the collation (thanks to William Preston, the binary selects are gone in IDOUtils 1.0.2) The discussion is quite pro binary, but after my report, nothing else happened. http://markmail.org/message/hga5hsaeo4pcl6fi?q=[Nagios-devel]+Case-insensitive+objects+in+NDOutils You can follow the resolution here: https://dev.icinga.org/issues/361 > changes I applied to the database with the 1.4b9 update. However, > 1.4b9 *does* provide some additional indices that dramatically speed > up certain maintenance operations, so I don't want to lose those. > 1.4b9 does not provide all of them in the mods file, some are still missing (https://dev.icinga.org/issues/228 and GIT repository). And the schema proposes MyISAM as DB engine, which is rather bad if you have some other cleaning scripts running (like Nagios XI proposes an external php cronjob cleaner next to the normal one - which is just lol). MyISAM enforces full table locks and if a DELETE interferes with an INSERT - holy shit, that will be fun for *domod and the core. That's one of the reasons why Icinga IDOUtils insist on InnoDB as DB engine because the housekeeping has been extended into its own thread, not interfering with the normal INSERT/UPDATE procedure. InnoDB slows down an INSERT a bit, but the overall benefit of only having a row lock and cleaning old historical data parallel to getting new data is just wonderful. We had some reports that IDO2DB in comparison with NDO2DB runs ~30% faster... But this patch is rather big and unified for Icinga IDOUtils, developed initially by Hendrik, tested by the team and finally reworked by myself catching up with the community in 1.0.1 - check the blog entries on www.icinga.org :) There are some other bugfixes, and some feature rich enhancements, but regarding the more or less dead development and even more the behavior of Nagios Enterprises and its president cannot convince me to backport those patches onto the actual NDOUtils code. Sadly to say for the community, but well. Anyways, if you consider patching those things yourself, consider Icinga with IDOUtils as an alternative too. Kind regards, Michael PS: Sorry for mentioning Icinga and fork and so on. Since it catches up with the topic, I think it's worth to talk about that a bit with the Nagios community too. -- DI (FH) Michael Friedrich michael.friedrich at univie.ac.at Tel: +43 1 4277 14359 Vienna University Computer Center Universitaetsstrasse 7 A-1010 Vienna, Austria ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Currently it maintains our pnp4nagios, nsca > listener, ndoutils, etc. Thanks for your response. What I really need is something that will run my script anytime Nagios reads its config files (possible configuration change) so this is only a partial solution. Executing the "Restart the Nagios process" process command from the Process Info screen doesn't create a new Nagios process (it has the same PID after the restart), but it does cause Nagios to reload the configuration and resets the $PROCESSSTARTTIME$ macro value. The localhost plugin I describe above does the job, but I wouldn't be able to guarantee that it would run promptly after the restart event and there seems to be no way to have it just run once instead of at intervals. This isn't a problem for my current use so I can keep doing it this way. It would be nice for Nagios to have a process restart (or config changed) event for which one cold write an event handler script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

If you don't mind setting it global wide, you can use the retained_(host|service)_attribute_mask: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html This was added by Ethan a few years back, inspired by some code we contributed from Opsview for our slave cluster failover logic, where we reset certain flags in the retained.dat file on a reload. This means you can strip the "active_checks_enabled" to always be based on the configuration file setting.

You probably want to analyse what we've done in Opsview (http://opsview.com ). There's two parts to this problem: 1) How to send commands to multiple Nagios instances 2) How to keep them in sync In this screencast, http://www.opsview.com/learn/demos-tutorials/how-opsview-uses-nagios , (registration required), about 04:30 in, I mention a broker module we developed called "altinity_distributed_commands". It hooks into Nagios and, for certain commands, writes them out so that a separate process can take those and push it out to slave systems. This is how we solve (1). For (2), we added some new code to Nagios (its in our development repo: http://github.com/tonvoon/opsview-nagios) there is a synchronise ability, at reload time or via an external command called "SYNC_STATE_INFORMATION", where it reads a retention.dat-like file and changes certain characteristics of a host/service, such as whether it is acknowledged or not. This allows the Opsview master to be the single source of state information for all its slave systems.

Message-ID: <4C40040E.8010206@agenda.si> Hello, is it possible to setup Nagios 3 so that only one notification is sent out for a downed host or service, but still have the possibility of escalating to a 2nd (3rd, ...) level contact if the problem hasn't been fixed 'in time'? And when the host/service recovers, only contacts that have been notified about 'down' should receive 'RECOVERY' notification. I tried doing it with a 'dummy' default contact and escalations, but I can't quite get it. So my 'host' templates include: check_interval 1 retry_interval 1 max_check_attempts 2 notification_interval 1 notification_options d,r contact_groups dummy Then I added these escalations: define hostescalation { hostgroup_name MYGROUP contact_groups my_real_contact_group first_notification 3 last_notification 4 notification_interval 0 escalation_period 24x7 escalation_options d,u } define hostescalation { hostgroup_name MYGROUP contact_groups my_real_contact_group first_notification 1 last_notification 0 notification_interval 0 escalation_period 24x7 escalation_options r } This *almost* works - the problem is, I always get a RECOVERY notification - even if the host recovers before I wasn't notified about the DOWN.

Two things: 1) Make sure your custom plugin is trapping errors correctly, because I bet that: 2) The user that Nagios is running the plugin as does not have the permissions to look at the mail queue. If you're using NRPE or some other method to run the custom plugin on the remote host, it should be running as a non-privileged user. And typically, non-privileged users cannot see the mail queue...

Always test plugins by running them as nagios (not root) and outside the directory the script is in $ libexec/check_postfixq.sh -w 30000 -c 50000 -p as this is how nagios runs them. You'll pick up any problems running scripts much quicker that way.

I'm struggling a little with a check procedure I'm trying to create. I'm a long time nagios user and I *know* there's a way to do this, but I'm having problems wrapping my head around the best way to achieve the desired effect. I have a data center that i monitor with nagios. I have a number of database servers (about 40) with a number of customers (about 500). I have a number of application checks that I need to do on these databases - things like a data import queue, number of active threads, etc. These checks need to be run for each database and there are a number of checks to perform for each (about 10). In other words, there's about 10 checks x 500 customer database checks (5,000) checks in total. The first problem is that I need to move a customer's database from one server to another from time to time for various reasons (capacity / performance, etc). This means all the checks for that customer database have to move from one database host to another. What I've done so far is to create dynamic service checks for each of these application counters. The checks do the following: execute a query against the current host's master database and retrieve a list of customer database instances on this host. for each database, query the relevant application counter. If there are any problems (warn or crit thresholds surpassed), the check returns warn or crit and lists only the databases that are in trouble. e.g.: WARN: at least one database is in trouble. \n Customer1: import queue is > 500. OK, so far so good. When I move a customer database, the check on the old server just doesn't get that customer's database in the list anymore and the check on the new server begins checking it. Great. First problem solved. Now the tricky part. I'm using PNP to graph performance data. The check script described above returns a LONG perfdata string with perfdata for each database. the way PNP works, it creates one big RRD file for each check - in other words, it creates one rrd file with data sources for each customer database on that server. When a customer database moves to a new database server, the rrd file is not - can not be - updated, so the perfdata just stops for that customer database. It is not easy to move a data source from one rrd file to another, so i have a conundrum. One way to fix this is to simply create a check on nagios for each customer database. If a database moves, just delete the check on the old server and create it on the new server. move the relevant rrd file to it's new home under the new server's PNP directory and we're done. but that means maintaining 5000 or so check commands on the nagios server and all the associated overhead of running so many checks. The way I have it now, there's only 10 * 40 (400) checks - which is much more manageable. I looked at using check_multi, but it suffers the same problem - the perfdata is returned for all child checks in one perfdata string. What I need is a way to dynamically build service checks for each database server. I'm thinking about a check command does: for each db in `cat db-server-host-name.txt`; do check_nrpe -H db-server-host-name -c check_app -a customer1 done but I'm not sure how this would work in terms of nagios service check definitions. One possibility is to use another script outside of nagios that does something like: in nagios.cfg: cfg_file=/etc/nagios/database-checks.cfg for each serverin `cat db-servers.txt`; do ' query master database, get a list of customer databases ' dump list to db-server-host-name.txt done for each db in `cat db-server-host-name.txt`; do ' modify database-checks.cfg ' create service definitions for each database on each database server done service nagios reload or something like that. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has a better way to do this... maybe i'm over-complicating this - i have been buried in this conundrum for a few days and may not be seeing the trees anymore... :/ Thank you all!

Message-ID: <4C40E75E.8030802@k-lab-resources.com> I just installed nagios 3.2.1 on a healthy Ubuntu 10.04.1 desktop. The install went without incident and after some work on the configuration files, I get no errors or warnings when I run "nagios3 -v /etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg". I start nagios using "/etc/init.d/nagios3 start" I open Firefox 3.6.6 and point it at http://localhost/nagios3/, I get a login dialog box, and login with my admin credentials with NO difficulty. Problem is I am getting an error when I click on Hosts, Map, Services, etc., in the left hand column... see below: Also when I run "ps -ef | grep nagios", nagios is not running. The /var/log/nagios3/nagios.log has the following entries (truncated to the last few errors): [1279315908] Nagios 3.2.0 starting... (PID=21610) [1279315908] Local time is Fri Jul 16 14:31:48 PDT 2010 [1279315908] LOG VERSION: 2.0 [1279315908] Finished daemonizing... (New PID=21611) [1279315908] Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down...

(New PID=21763) [1279316062] Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down... Begin Error Message: Whoops! *Error: Could not read host and service status information!* The most common cause of this error message (especially for new users), is the fact that Nagios is not actually running. If Nagios is indeed not running, this is a normal error message. It simply indicates that the CGIs could not obtain the current status of hosts and services that are being monitored. If you've just installed things, make sure you read the documentation on starting Nagios. Some other things you should check in order to resolve this error include: 1. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status data errors. 2. Always verify configuration options using the *-v* command-line option before starting or restarting Nagios! Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at http://www.nagios.org. End Error Message: Anyone seen this before? I'm really stuck and I have read most of the 358 page manual.

Did you compile the nrpe with ssl or with out ? Is the check_nrpe command is using ssl ( default) or not ( has -n in the arguments )? also restart the nrpe daemon with the Debug option and see what it says in the log (/var/log/messages ) when you are attempting the execute the check from the command line.

I recompiled the core with the embedded perl and that helped for a while to lower the latency but it keeps growing to times that are not reasonable for this size of a nagios installation . The setup of this server is as the main nagios with two other server sending passive results to it , one server's time interval is 40 sec (doing mainly http queries ) and the other has a 1 minute interval , and monitors Switches ,firewalls and hosts. The machine is a dual CPU Quad core , 6 GB ram and the load is about 3.3 . I've attached the output of nagiostats below and the directives of nagios.cfg . moving the result/ stats to a ramfs is not an option at this time ( i know about this , but sadly not a viable option).

If you are interested in being a bet user of OpViews Connector, please answer this email in private. Below a short description of what is OpViews Connector: OpViews Connector is an application developed to add advanced visualization functionalities for "Nagios-based" management applications, the opensource most popular network and systems management platform. OpViews allows Nagios, Nagios XI, OpMon, GroundWork, Op5 and Icinga's users easily build business and infra-structures dashboards through an user friendly GUI. OpViews Editor (included) allow users from the above platforms get monitoring indicators and informations direct from their databases and show them in an graphic and animated dashboard, which make it perfect to show IT status on large screens, without having to write a single line of code. Using the Advanced Nagios Adapter (ANA) you don't have to make any modifications in your opensource monitoring application and the results are presented fully integrated in your monitoring environment. ANA allows you to connect and extract data direct from your monitoring databases, no matter what "Nagios-based" database broker you are using and without having to write any code. As a requirement to use OpViews Connector you must use one of the following "Nagios-based" database broker on your server: - ndoutils - IDOUtils - Opdb - Merlin - Mk Livestatus On the browser/client side the only requirement is Adobe Flash Player 10.1 or superior installed in your desktop. _________________________________________________ Dario B.

Critical Event IDs on any server: We are looking for only the critical event ID's (like a AD account lockout event ID etc) to be captured and reported to the nagios server. Have anybody started using this eventlog management effectively and what are your way of putting it in place. Cheers Keshav -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But today I deployed check_diskio.pl plugin ( http://www.nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/Check_Disk_IO_via_NRPE ) and now would like to configure nagiosgrapher to build graphs to reflect disk i/o performance - but the problem is that I cannot adopt any of standard ngraphes because stdout of check_diskio does not similar to stdouts of standard plugins. It's actually like this: ./check_diskio.pl -d / -w 2 -c 3 --uom=B --factor=Mi CHECK_DISKIO OK - xvda 639.82 KB/s | WRITE=631761B;2097152;3145728 READ=23412B;2097152;3145728 TOTAL=655173B;2097152;3145728 Could anyone give me some hint how can I write custom check_diskio.ncfg so that graph would reflext perfdata dynamics (read/write/total) ?

Anyone know of some documentation besides whats in the Nagios 3.x docs, either on line or book ? I just seem to be missing the connection between the send_nsca plugin and the actual plugin running on the box I want to monitor from the central server. Here is my issue: I have my central server set up ( call it nagios1), 1 dist server with bare bones nagios set up & running on it ( call it nagiosdist1). I have been able to send an nsca message to central server by running the following from a script : #!/bin/bash CFG="//usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg" CMD="nagiosdist1;named;3;UNKNOWN - just an NSCA test" /bin/echo $CMD | /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H nagios1 -d ';' -c $CFG So now that I have nsca communication, what I want to be able to do is this using nsca from nagiosdist1, send check results from a linux pc to the central server. I have all of the plugins on the linux pc and have successfully run the following from the command line from the nagiosdist1 server ( before I configured it as a nsca server) ./check_by_ssh -H IP_OF_LINUX_PC -C '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 5.0 -c 10.0' -q I assume I should be able to run this with an nsca wrapper & get it up to the central server would t be as simple as this in the services.cfg on the dist server? define service { use generic-service host_name LINUX_PC service_description Current Load via ssh check_command submit_check_result!check_ssh_load!5.0,4.0,3. 0!10.0,6.0,4.0 } Thanks, Steve _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.

You can always modify the host_name slightly to make it unique, but that breaks any plugin that depends on the host_name.

You can download it as part of the Sourceforge tntnagiosplugins project. It should work with NSClient++ (although admittedly I am not testing against that). It reports critical and warning events on the specified host (it will exclude a number of events that are known to be harmless, for instance DCOM 10009 and about a dozen or so other ones). The "top ten events" seems like interesting functionality, but doesn't really fit very well into the Nagios philosophy. Nagios can ultimately only distinguish between OK, WARNING, CRITICAL.

This is not what my understand of how notification dependencies worked. Is there some other directive that I need to make it so monitors that are in a CRITICAL state do not send further notifications if their dependencies are not satisfied? One this that I did that was unusual mas making a service dependency template to try to streamline my services.cfg so I didn't need to use a dependencies.cfg. Here is the template: define servicedependency { name generic-dependency execution_failure_criteria c,u,p notification_failure_criteria c,u,p inherits_parent 1 register 0 } and here is an example of a service that uses it: define service{ use standard-app-service hostgroup_name Apache service_description Apache_Status servicegroups Apache_Status check_command check_apachestatus_nrpe!localhost } define servicedependency { use generic-dependency hostgroup_name Apache dependent_service_description Apache_Status service_description NRPE_Available } Is this just a case of me not understanding how dependencies are supposed to work or is something else weird going on here?

I have configured dependancies to suppress notifications when the master dependency is not OK or WARNING and while I am finding they work in suppressing command execution, notification suppression doesn't seem to be happening as the alerts keep coming for them. This is an example of the problem: Setup: Apache_Webhits service depends on Apache_Status service being OK or WARNING for both execution and notification Apparent order of events: 1. Apache_Webhits returned UNKNOWN because apache was probably down 2. Apache_Status soon goes CRITICAL because it definitely is down alright 3. Nagios stops further execution of Apache_Webhits 4. In the GUI I turn off notifications for Apache_Status for that server until the problem is fixed. Problem: Apache_Webhits continues to send out notifications that it is CRITICAL though I would have expected the behavior to suppress further notification, but it clearly is just sending notifications as usual. Is that expected behavior? Based on my understanding I would thing further notifications would cease in this case. My configs: One this that I did that was unusual mas making a service dependency template to try to streamline my services.cfg so I didn't need to use a dependencies.cfg. It seemed to work just fine but I am mentioning it because it doesn't seem to be explicitly documented. Here is the template: define servicedependency { name generic-dependency execution_failure_criteria c,u,p notification_failure_criteria c,u,p inherits_parent 1 register 0 } and here is the example described above: # Apache_Webhits define service{ use standard-app-service hostgroup_name Apache service_description Apache_Webhits servicegroups Apache_Webhits check_command check_webhits_nrpe } define servicedependency { use generic-dependency hostgroup_name Apache dependent_service_description Apache_Webhits service_description Apache_Status } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.

The goal is this: - "Account managers" get alerts of only their clients (which consist of certain hosts and all of their services) during work hours - "On-call technicians" get alerts of only clients after hours. - "Escalation team" gets alerts of all clients 24x7 but only if the alert isn't responded to after 1 alert. - "Nagios admin" gets alerted on all alerts I have nagios functioning now with a 24x7 notification schedule just notifying a group of people, but my company wanted to switch it up. Some direction on the best way of doing this would be very appreciated. Thanks. -- Mike A.

It is a bash script however, so it won't work if your nagios system is windows. I have extended the code to report several other variables as well, it is easy to do.

I prefer the SPEC file that breaks each of the individual plugins into its own sub-package, which I think was the Fedora version of the SPEC file. perl(Net::SNMP) is provided by an extra perl module, available from CPAN, RPMforge (http://packages.sw.be/perl-Net-SNMP/) or EPEL (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/repoview/perl-Net-SNMP.html). The perl module is a requirement of the check_ifstatus/check_ifoperstatus plugins. You could try removing them from the EXTRA_DIST line of the plugins-scripts/Makefile.in file, and see how you go.

Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:54:15 -0400 Subject: Service notification In-Reply-To: References: <8B53E489-E062-43C4-AFF9-2EB749E8AFBB@xodus.org> Message-ID: <4C5303B7.7070503@herb-j.com> Nagios won't do that. If I recall correctly, when the host check fails, it refuses to generate any further service notifications for that host until the host check succeeds again. It also won't generate service recovery notifications when those services actually come back online either. Our solution for that was to add a second host check (i.e., create a new "define command" block) for devices that don't respond to PING. For those devices, we configure them to use the new host check (i.e., use the command you just created for that host's "check command" directive) that checks HTTP status. I work at a web hosting company, so 100% of our servers listen on either PING, HTTP, or FTP, so we have those three choices for the host check. You will need to create another host check (or two or three if necessary) that can be used for the devices that don't respond to PING and configure those devices to use one of the alternate host checks.

Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:38:40 -0400 Subject: Nagvis 1.5.1 installation question Message-ID: Hi there -- I am going through the motions of installing NagVis 1.5.1 onto our Nagios 3.1.2 server. I have completed the installation of the check_mk 1.1.6p1 software, and made sure to select the default settings for it. When I run the install script for NagVis, all prerequisites are found, and I make sure to select mklivestatus as the Backend. However, when the installer gets to the Livestatus Socket, it looks for it in the /usr/local/nagios/rw/live directory, but says it is missing. The installer lists the valid socket formats, and asks me to enter the MKLivestatus socket. I am not familiar with what that would be, and whether or not check_mk should be started in daemon mode or in some other way. Can someone provide some insight into this? Thanks.
