Have a look at http://www.smetj.net/wiki/Molog It has following features: * A stand alone daemon with builtin web server. * Works together with a centralized rsyslog/mysql setup using the Monitorware db schema. * Submits results directly to the command pipe or through NSCAweb * Only submits results passively when matches occur. * Assign a syslog priority to the monitoring warning or critical alert category. * Exclude syslog entries from the monitoring warning or critical status using regular expressions. * Apply regular expressions on a global or per host basis. * Remove open alerts from the web interface and update monitoring automatically through passive check results. * No DB records are altered when removing alerts. * No additional database required for Molog itself. * Builtin tweakable queue which buffers passive check results when they can't be delivered. * MoLog is written in Python and has its own built in web server (Cherrypy) and queue manager. It might be helpful to one of you. * my apologies if this is a double post but the previous message didn't came through* Jelle Smet http://www.smetj.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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 jjscampos at gmail.com Mon May 3 18:26:42 2010 From: jjscampos at gmail.com (=?iso-8859-1?Q?Jos=E9_Campos?=) Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 17:26:42 +0100 Subject: how to restart httpd service on remote server Message-ID: <014501caeadd$6cc9d8c0$465d8a40$@com> Hello everyone.

Looking for perhaps another option. Failure of an SMTP connection to our ISP's mail server with Nagios will only tell us that the Nagios attempt to connect has failed, at that particular point in time. We are running our Nagios box on CentOS. The CentOS attempt itself could well connect and send a message a few seconds/minutes before or after that. We also run the risk of being accused of 'excessive' number of emails with our ISP's email server. So the only reliable way of checking if ISP SMTP relay connection works is to parse the CentOS logs and look for failures to authenticate/send. Has anyone parsed a log for review with Nagios? If so, please advise. Thanks, SHD -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here is the context. The alarms are received by an SMTP server, a perl script is used to parse the received SMTP message and send information using nsca. The SMTP message contains these information : - Alarm level : SUCCESS|WARNING|CRITICAL - Source Ip Addr : the host that sent the alarm - Date/Time : the datetime of the alarm - a Message, the message is composed of two parts ":
" for ex. "CPU Temperature: 25" "Ip Link 12: link down" I would like to forward these alarms to nagios using nsca, but I've got the following major problems : - I don't have the full list of possible categories/alarms....I just have the previously described format ":
" - I know some sets of categories are quite large, for ex. the "Ip Link \d+" category can be related to over 250 ip links. - Is it possible to handle such alarms with nagios ? If so, how can I configure Nagios to monitor such 'unknown' services ? (Is there a specific plugin ?) Thank you.

In a previous life, I monitored some 60 or so remote sites, each one with a replicating master-slave pair of MySQL 4.x servers. The base check_mysql (with the "-S" switch) monitored the replication just fine for us, including the amount of time a slave was behind, if the slave thread was running properly, and a number of other details. It never missed any replication failures, and trust me, MySQL replication failed all the freakin' time. Benny -- Me: 'How big a monster can you take out with one of those?

If your email does something like that you can just write a simple script to check whether it is empty or not and return a status to Nagios. There might be a genuine reason why the first send fails, but at least you get alerted. You could even get the script to send a test email at this point and check whether the queue grows by one. Regards Paul Willis >>> "Stephen H. Dawson" 04/05/10 10:57 >>> Hi, We have looked at the check_smtp option to meet our need, but do not believe this option will work. Looking for perhaps another option. Failure of an SMTP connection to our ISP's mail server with Nagios will only tell us that the Nagios attempt to connect has failed, at that particular point in time. We are running our Nagios box on CentOS. The CentOS attempt itself could well connect and send a message a few seconds/minutes before or after that. We also run the risk of being accused of 'excessive' number of emails with our ISP's email server. So the only reliable way of checking if ISP SMTP relay connection works is to parse the CentOS logs and look for failures to authenticate/send. Has anyone parsed a log for review with Nagios? If so, please advise. Thanks, SHD -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have IAS installed on two windows boxes providing separate radius aaa authentication. I tried the check_radius.pl plugin as well as another compilable one but they don't appear to work despite providing them with user, password and secret. I suspect the way windows handles radius thru IAS may be different. In the case of one of the radius boxes, I just installed NSClient++ and monitored for the service. But the otehr box is a windows 2008 server and doesn't use service for IAS but roles. Anyone have any idea how to monitor?

In this case, I think the OP was trying to check SMTP authentication. That's a little trickier, since an some cases the SMTP server may be up and running just fine, but the auth piece is *never* required to make a connection to an SMTP server; it's only used when determining whether the person who is already connected is allowed to relay through the server, and comes after all the things check_smtp is designed to look at. That said, it's not a hard thing to check. A simple expect script could do it, and you might even be able to pull it off with check_tcp. However, it what you really want to know is if the entire mail flow is working, I'm a fan of having procmail look for trigger messages and send a passive check result to Nagios when it sees one. A cron job can be set up to send mail on a regular basis, and the check can then be configured to alert if a passive check hasn't been triggered within a certain amount of time. Sure, it's several pieces to set up, but it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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 benny at bennyvision.com Thu May 6 03:36:12 2010 From: benny at bennyvision.com (C.

Possibly OT, but if this *is* the intent of the OP, this particular package works very well for me in our Exchange environment: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Email-and-Groupware/check_email_delivery/details It will alert on failure of any part of the email path (submission, routing, delivery), as well as the latency from submission to delivery.

I made a small fix to the perl plugin, just 2 lines. To have the plugin working with the latest cli, make this substitutions: Line 164 Change if($line=~/Array status:\s*([^\s]*)/i) { with if(($line=~/Array status:\s*([^\s]*)/i) || ($line=~/Status:\s*([^\s]*)/i)) { Line 167 Change if(!defined($array_status) || !($array_status=~/online/i)) { with if(!defined($array_status) || !(($array_status=~/online/i) || ($array_status=~/optimal/i))) { Done, now it should work. The latest upgrade changes the output of cli messages, that's why the script doesn't work anymore. The fix traps the old and new status messages.

I've to monitor linux servers for about 15/20 customers, from 1 to 5 server for each customer. We aren't on vpn with customers, so this servers are all behind NAT. That isn't a problem because we are the administrator of the firewall (other linux server) so we can manage any kind of DNAT and filter rule. I read on official documentation that suggest to use NCSA addon for distributed monitoring, but we choose to use NRPE addon for different motivations like: -customer force us to do that -the number of monitored servers for each customer will never grow up -the services to monitor for each server are the same (raid hw/sw, disk usage etc) -we need a completly centralized monitoring structure For last sentence I thought to use the arguments option on NRPE (yes, I read the SECURITY document). Besides, to solve the problem of NAT with NRPE I'll do DNAT on firewall and the port parameter on check_nrpe plugin (is there problems to do that? I did little tests but I prefear a confirm) To manage this structure I need to organized a well-formed config file structure on nagios server. I thinked to structure it like this obj--| |-->templatelinuxserversgeneral.cfg | |-->customer_1_directory|->templateserver.cfg | |->server1.cfg | |->server2.cfg | |->servern.cfg | |-->customer_2_directory|->templateserver.cfg |->server1.cfg |->servern.cfg Where: -templatelinuxserversgeneral.cfg is a very basic template for server -customer_1_directory in wich there is 1 file for each customer's server -templateserver.cfg will use templatelinuxserversgeneral and will add more specific common variabiles for that customer's server like the public IPAddress that will be the same for each customer's server. -servern.cfg in wich there will be some very specific server variables like nrpe port (read up). What do you think? How can I organize that service-server combination?

Although the nagios debug file fills up and grows quite fast so you need to make sure to have sufficient space to have the input you want . from what I know - external commands are logged in the nagios log - again check the option in the nagios.cfg Assaf -- Never,Ever Cut A Deal With a Dragon I am doing a Charity Bike ride On the 27 of June for the Capital to Coast Charity.

You do, of course, have to run this on the Nagios server, since that's where the pipe is. The message in your log seems to indicate you typo'd the SCHEDULE_HOST_SVC_CHECK command. If you're using NSCA, your pipe works: it submits commands to Nagios the same way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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 mail at aidananderson.co.uk Thu May 6 18:30:57 2010 From: mail at aidananderson.co.uk (Aidan Anderson) Date: Thu, 06 May 2010 17:30:57 +0100 Subject: check_disk plugin In-Reply-To: <20100506101233.1e2cf0db@infracom.it> References: <20100505124943.131b4624@infracom.it> <20100506101233.1e2cf0db@infracom.it> Message-ID: <4BE2EEC1.6020507@aidananderson.co.uk> Davide Blasi wrote: > with or without quotes give me the same result :( > > Try using single quotes, e.g. -I '/my/fist/.*' -I '/second/.*' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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 davide.blasi at infracom.it Thu May 6 19:01:24 2010 From: davide.blasi at infracom.it (Davide Blasi) Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 19:01:24 +0200 Subject: check_disk plugin In-Reply-To: <4BE2EEC1.6020507@aidananderson.co.uk> References: <20100505124943.131b4624@infracom.it> <20100506101233.1e2cf0db@infracom.it> <4BE2EEC1.6020507@aidananderson.co.uk> Message-ID: <20100506190124.7e165af6@infracom.it> Aidan Anderson wrote : >Davide Blasi wrote: >> with or without quotes give me the same result :( >> >> > > Try using single quotes, e.g. > > -I '/my/fist/.*' -I '/second/.*' No, It doesn't works :( But I don't think that is a quote problem.

Defined a NSCA service and sent messages in different languages with different severity level Result: E-mails are sent with UTF-8 characters perfectly fine The message appears with junk characters in "Status Information" section of Nagios UI It's pretty interesting that UTF-8 characters appear perfectly fine in "Service" section but not in "Status Information" that too in same UI. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We're in early stages of updating and moving our Condor system (and putting it on a full production footing). As part of this we need to add monitoring of the system to our existing central monitoring system (using Nagios). I was surprised that I didn't find any plugins/recipes for this in either the Condor or Nagios communities (but I may not have found the right place to look yet). I've spotted some passing references to monitoring central nodes using Nagios but nothing substantial. Obviously we would knock something together using the standard Nagios plugins to check for processes etc but I can't help thinking that several people must have been through this already. Can anyone point me at references/useful sites? To be clear, at the moment I'm interesting in monitoring the system for availability and alerting system staff about problems. Recording usage is a separate project (and I've seen more leads for that sort of stuff).

The subject line we use suck a bit, it's like Nagios Alert: Host = example | System = Linux | Service Status = OK | Notification Type = RECOVERY Though we are sending alerts at nagios at example.com so it's easy to create a rule.

Now when turning this on and applying some filters to appears to be blocking everything. All the documentation which I can find the matter is pretty hazy. I am looking for someone who has used this filter and how to apply it to JBoss and block all those annoying errors. If anybody could shed some light on the matter that would be fantastic!

Since we only allow our locations to see approved urls, this is important. I was hoping there was some way I could use a macro to do the check_http and have all of the urls for the sites listed as the macro contents . Something like this - define url{ url_name www.test.com,www.test2.com,www.test3.com..... check_command check_http ... } define command{ command_name check_http command_line /usr/local/nagios/plugins/check_http -L $URL$ -c $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ } Can I create a $URL$ macro for use here? Would doing something like this work? Is there an easier way for me to have a single host ( localhost) to verify the list of 100 + urls ? The plan is to do it 1 time a day & send a notification of it fails to get there. They can then update the approved list of the new url. Is it not " advisable" to use check_http in this manner?

I'm writing a new Nagios plugin that will be responsible to monitor the server internal components temperature. I have a Proliant DL380 G5 with the HP Management CLI for Linux installed on it, and I wrote a perl program to check the Temperature. When I execute the perl script directly from the command prompt, I receive a message indicating the behavior of the Temperature. But, when I call this script perl using check_nrpe command, I received the same message, but the information of the temperature stays in blank. Following are my nrpe.cfg configuration file and the perl script. Does anybody know how can I fix this?

This is one thing I've found *really* annoying about 3.2.0 and would like to have a way to turn it off. I didn't see anything in the docs or in the nagios.cfg file that let me turn this behavior on or off or something I could put in a host or service setting that would let me disable it.

The only major requirement is that it return a valid error code so that Nagios can interpret the results. Something like this would work: -- start check_file.sh -- #!/bin/sh # $1 = Full path of filename to watch for $ERRORCODE=0 if [ -e $1 ]; then $ERRORCODE=1 fi exit $ERRORCODE -- end check_file.sh -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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 akpgeek at gmail.com Thu May 13 19:58:11 2010 From: akpgeek at gmail.com (akp geek) Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 13:58:11 -0400 Subject: notification when a file is found In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Thanks a lot.

The problem that I am having is that even though everything appears to be running properly, the requests that are sent from the Nagios server to the client are timing out, with the result being the client appearing as down. The client has the nrpe program running with the following configuration: /usr/local/nrpe/bin/nrpe -n -c /usr/local/nrpe/etc/nrpe.cfg -d I verified the plugins are working on the client, and also confirmed there are no other clients being reported as down. The configuration that I described is not unique to this client. This same setup is working for other clients that are monitored by the server. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is occurring, and what I can do to correct it? Thanks. The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

I know how to alter the files, but I was hoping to leave the original config file alone so the system updates could replace it if necessary. Apparently Nagios is missing the ability to replace previous definitions (also demonstrated in the problem of "undefined" causing specific behavior but not being able to undefine, such as for a no-ping host). I also haven't noticed a defined priority for configuration info, something which would be needed for an override. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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 Ward.P.Fontenot at wellsfargo.com Fri May 14 08:13:39 2010 From: Ward.P.Fontenot at wellsfargo.com (Ward.P.Fontenot at wellsfargo.com) Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 01:13:39 -0500 Subject: Using NSClient++ NRPE to check a local URI In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: NRPE for that?

Your problem seems to be that you want to override a (sample?) configuration partially supplied by someone else (your OS distribution, I'd guess) that wasn't designed to be overriden. That's not a shortcoming of Nagios, though; it's a result of how the configs you're using were defined, or the way you're interpreting them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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 prasanth.katakam at gmail.com Fri May 14 11:52:12 2010 From: prasanth.katakam at gmail.com (prasanth katakam) Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 15:22:12 +0530 Subject: 403 forbidden error Message-ID: Dear team, i was new to nagios, after installing when i try to open through browser i got an error like 403 forbidden you dont have permission to access /nagios/ on this server httpd error log -------------------- [root at localhost conf]# cat /var/log/httpd/error_log [Fri May 14 14:15:12 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/ [Fri May 14 14:18:20 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /usr/local/nagios/share/ [Fri May 14 14:18:41 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /usr/local/nagios/share/ httpd.conf ---------------- [root at localhost conf]# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Options ExecCGI AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users Require valid-user Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share Options None AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthName "Nagios Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users Require valid-user kindly do the needfull Prasanth.Katakam 9966655246 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When I start it, I don't have this delay, but wth in the course of time it increases some much until one point that nagios master stops. Could yoiu help me?

Since status.dat and nagios.cmd are disk bound, put them on ramdisk will be faster. status_file=/mnt/ramdisk/status.dat command_file=/mnt/ramdisk/nagios.cmd I don't think aggressive_host_checking is needed as nagios checks for host when a service is in error anyway. use_aggressive_host_checking=0 check_host_freshness=0 Service freshness is important as the MASTER tends to process passive checks much slower so the services may go stale. However, since our checks are 5 min interval, having the MASTER wait for the next round of check is fine. check_service_freshness=1 service_freshness_check_interval=420 We use nagios-3.2.1 and I think these directives are still experimental but they seem to help. You will see defunct nagios processes that come and go. I think it's caused by child forked once instead of twice so one gets killed (my theory), but again, it seems to be running ok. use_large_installation_tweaks=0 child_processes_fork_twice=0 Our MASTER receives ~7000 passive checks from the SLAVE but it could only process max ~5000 passive checks per 5 min. The latency is about <10 secs. For the rest, the MASTER actively checks them. If you or someone knows a way to improve passive check processing, that will be great. Also, in our setup, we don't use NSCA. The slaves have ocsp_command=send_service_check where this command inserts the checks into a file that gets sent every 5 sec to the master. On the master, there's a script that opens this file and inserts the lines directly into the nagios.cmd pipe every 5 sec.

I was using the synchronous mode of PNP operation where in for every data collected the process_perfdata is run and the data gets stored in the database. My polling was such that for few services like CPU and bandwidth usage the frequency of polling was done every 20 secs. This added a lot of load on my nagios server box. Its CPU was constantly working at 70-75% and hence i decided to switch over to Bulk with NPCD mode and followed all the instructions given in the PNP4 site. Everything went fine and nagios also verified the configurations correctly. But while starting the nagios service i got the following error message as shown below. Can someone tell me what was the reason for it and is there anything that i should be concerned. Please let me know. Note: After starting the nagios server again i am seeing the data being collected and shown in the graphs. No issues in this regard. Now the load on my nagios server is significantly reduced.

The 'Sticky Acknowledgement' has the same behaviour in nagios 3 as in nagios 2 . If you want that disabled - you will need to modify the cmd.cgi source and recompile it .

We do this in our spare time. We do not do it as a full-time job, babysitting people who won't read the documentation or are unable to use google to find a suitable answer before asking us. If you ask a proper question about a specific problem and show us that you've spent a bit of effort trying to understand and solve the problem yourself, we'd be more than willing to help. As it is now, the answer wouldn't mean anything to you, and you'd need assistance again in a very short while when, for example, you're having trouble getting notifications to where they should go. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson at op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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 lists at xodus.org Tue May 18 15:26:55 2010 From: lists at xodus.org (Marc Powell) Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 08:26:55 -0500 Subject: how 2 add hosts to nagios In-Reply-To: References: <4BF26FAB.1090602@flatto.net> Message-ID: On May 18, 2010, at 7:51 AM, prasanth katakam wrote: > Error: Could not find any host matching 'winserver' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg', starting on line 139) > Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg', starting on line 139) > Error processing object config files!

Message-ID: <20100518132156.GB12924@iphh.net>

Hi everybody,

we are running multiple nagios Instances which all provide 
Test results to one node which runs the cgi's.
The problem with this setup is, that re-scheduling checks 
has to be done on the checking nodes and not on the node
with the cgi's. 
Is there any good solution to this problem ?

I am thinking about testing DNX ( dnx.sf.net )
But since one can't  define which check will run on which
node, we would have to reconfigure a lot of firewalls.
Would dnx be worth this hassle ? Any experiences ?

Cheers,
	Christoph

I'm interested too about it.
Any suggest to completly centrilized monitoring?

Thank's

Yes. If you've configured Nagios to use authentication, that's just how 
it works.

I didn't even think to check for a -h.  
This did it:
check_snmp -H 10.0.10.2 -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.1.0 -l '% Capacity' -u '%' -w 90:20 -c 20:0

Subject: SIGSEGV when trying to use eventhandler
Message-ID: 

Hi guys,
I am new to nagios but so far it's working well for me and is monitoring a 
number of real and virtual hosts. Nagios 3.0.6 is installed on an 
OpenSolaris 2009.06 host and monitoring routers other devices and VM's in 
VirtualBox.

My issue is when I try to add an event handler, I get a SIGSEGV and nagios 
restarts.


I have posted the details of the code I am using and the error 
here...http://pastebin.com/vBb7xTND and also below (but it reads better @ 
pastebin).

I have tried several different scripts and code combinations (even empty 
scripts and commands like ls) and all give the same error.

Can anyone help me work out why it's happening?

Thanks.

hosts.cfg

define host{
        use             windows-server  ; Inherit default values from a 
template
        host_name       Server6         ; The name we're giving to this host
        max_check_attempts              4

        alias           Server 6 - Win2008 Server       ; A longer name 
associated with the host
        address         192.168.0.6     ; IP address of the host
        }

 
commands.cfg - note I have tried various scripts here incl. ones from the 
nagios guides/books and all give the same error.

Hi. I want to compile nagios without the web interface. I think that i 
should include these parameters in the configure:

--disable-statusmap
--disable-statuswrl
--without-httpd-conf

Is this right? There is anything else that i should include (or exclude)?

Subject: Full Throttle Nagios
Message-ID: 

Hi list,

Several times I'm asked about Nagios latency when the number of services go
over a certain number.

Is there any tweak to have nagios scale checkings more than it would after
tweaking every configuration option for boosting performance?

It seems that nagios don't do the best job at taking the hardware to its
real limits.

When I have more than, say, 10k checks, I start seen check latency rises and
there just isn't anything that could be done, even distributed monitoring
have the nagios.cmd write-lock bottleneck.

I'm asking if there is by design that nagios don't thrases the server when
the number of checks reaches certain limits.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you

How busy was the CPU and disk?

I don't know enough about the design yet to know about throttling, but
the Nagios FAQ says that multiple copies of Nagios can run in one
machine if certain files are separate.  So if one copy isn't saturating
the machine, you might be able to run multiple "distributed" copies in
one machine.

Next we'll hear from someone who knows better why that is not a good
idea.

Can you post your nagios.cfg with comments and blank lines stripped
out?  please do strip out comments and blank lines so that it is not a
huge post :).

We did a small patch to remove a sleep time that nagios does between
non-runnable events, i did post it to the nagios developer's list, it
boosted our performance at higher polling density noticably.  Right
now we get about 2500 active host checks / 12500 active service checks
per nagios node with all checks completed every 5 minutes for services
and host checks running every 10 minutes.

When you run make, just do:

make nagios
make install-base

You could also build everything, and just skip the cgi install, and that 
would probably take less time than getting your answer took.

So, I've just gone through this, and the single greatest bottleneck I 
had to deal with is notifications.  But, I have a lot of people in the 
notification tree, and pull in a lot of meta-data to make ticket 
tracking and issue resolution easier and faster.  Since Nagios needs to 
know the exit status of notification commands, it doesn't fork before 
notifications.. it just plods along waiting for the notification command 
to exit.

I switched all our non-pager notification commands to drop a spool file 
in a directory, letting another process read the spool files, generate 
email contents, query ticket databases, pull in documentation or 
extended testing information (full mysql processlist output, for dbas.. 
etc) and caching it for subsequent notifications for that event.

That showed a HUGE improvement to my master server's performance.

If notifications aren't your bottleneck, you can move all your temporary 
files to ramdisk.

You can also increase your FIFO pipe size, but that only delays the 
issue and doesn't really solve the problem if you're always running hot. 
  It also probably involves recompiling your kernel.

If you're using nsca, you can cache your updates for a second or two, so 
that multiple updates happen in the same socket connection.

Alternately (or additionally) you can have nsca update the checkresults 
directory, directly, skipping the steps where nagios reads the command 
pipe, and then just writes it back out to the checkresults directory.

I can package up a patch (against 2.7.2) of those last couple changes (I 
need to submit them, anyway).  If you're manlier than I might be, you 
could also consider modifying the core nagios to allow submissions from 
distributed nagios servers, directly to a socket, but doing that right 
might require serious threaded c foo, and depending on your OS and 
threading library, you might be locked to a single core.

So, you have options.  They're not all equal, and aren't all easy.  But 
you wouldn't be working with monitoring if you didn't like challenges...  :)

Marcel, are you using nagios2.x or 3.x? I'm testing out 3.2.0 and find that
nagios3.x performs pretty well, being multi-threaded and all.

Again, thank you for all the quick answers. This list/community is
awesome!!!

I'm already using tmpfs, increased named pipe buffer size, did everything
that one is supposed to do in order to increase performance.

I think I'd go with removing sleep calls in the code. I'm at version 3.2.1
and would love to have a look at Max's patch!

Notification is not my bottleneck, and this is not for my own nagios
install, it's for someone else, so I cannot post nagios.cfg here. Sorry.

But again, thanks for all the answers!!!

Patch can be found here:

http://github.com/netoisstools/Nagios-3-Patches/blob/master/events.c.patch

Download it to your nagios source directory then run

patch -p0 < events.c.patch

if you use the patch, make sure to set use_large_installation_tweaks
to 1 as it will only skip the sleep time if large installation tweaks
is enabled.

Regards,
Max

I spent couple weeks playing with 3.2.1 and found that it performs very well
with active checks (6500+ in 5 min at 1-2 sec latency max)  but could not
pass 5000 passive checks on the master server.

When switched to 3.2.0, it processes 7300-7500 passive checks out of 8055 at
0.2 sec latency  using directives use_large_installation_tweaks=1 and
child_processes_fork_twice=0.

Subject: localhost DOWN messages,
	return code 127 is out of bounds
Message-ID: 

Hello,

Just installed nagios 3.2.1 following the docs at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart.html

Everything starts up normally, web interface is fine, can login,
enable/disable checks, etc...  However, every 2 hours exactly,
I'm getting the following alert in email:

From: nagios
Subject: ** PROBLEM Host Alert: localhost is DOWN **

***** Nagios *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: localhost
State: DOWN
Address: 127.0.0.1
Info: (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

Date/Time: Tue May 18 15:00:15 PDT 2010

If I go to check the services, everything is green.

This is coming from a fresh install with nothing special configured.

I've googled until my eyes glazed over and no one seems to report
this happening with "localhost".  I've checked for the plugins,
checked permissions, etc... The best I can tell, it's all as it
should be.  I?m sure I?ve missed some simple detail somewhere, but
it?s eluding me at the moment.

Any help on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Below, I've included logfile contents as well as every detail
I could think of on how the system is setup.

Thanks

Subject: trying to fix problem with excessive latency
Message-ID: <4BF33F14.9070605@fatooh.org>

Hello,

I have inherited maintenance of a medium-sized Nagios installation. We 
currently have 649 hosts and 5415 services. Our setup works nicely, with 
one exception: Nagios falls behind on host/service checks. Our usual 
latency once Nagios has been running for a while is about 190-200 
seconds. Our Nagios host is reasonably powerful and isn't struggling; it 
seems that Nagios itself is limited somehow.

I've searched google and read every relevant document I could find, 
including the tuning page:

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

So far I haven't been able to find anything wrong with our 
configuration, and my experimental tuning hasn't resulted in any 
improvement. As far as I can tell, Nagios is scheduling the host/service 
checks properly, but not processing the queue aggressively enough.

Some notes:

1. The Nagios host has 8 2GHz cores and is usually 75-85% idle. Out of 4 
GB of memory, 1.2 GB is free, with no swap usage. We don't seem to be 
running into any physical limitations.

2. Raising max_concurrent_checks doesn't help; 'nagios -s' recommends a 
value of at least 599, so we're using 1200. I've tried absurdly high 
values like 6000, with no improvement.

3. Lowering service_reaper_frequency to 2 doesn't seem to help; in any 
case, our latency of 190 is way higher than the service_reaper_frequency.

4. I tried setting max_check_result_reaper_time to 30; no change. I 
don't know what I should set this to.

5. I tried disabling all host check scheduling (setting check_interval 
to 0 in our host template); that may have helped (I'm seeing 173 second 
latency instead of 190) but didn't really solve the problem.

I'm attaching our main nagios.cfg file and including the output of 
nagiostats below.

The host is running 64-bit CentOS 5.4 with a 2.6.18 kernel.

In my experience, the single biggest bottleneck in the number of checks
Nagios can perform without going belly-up is the OS pipe size.

In particular, this has been an issue for me on Linux, where it's not
hard to have check results overflow a 4K pipe (the Linux kernel default)
faster than Nagios can be configured to empty it out.

The good news for me has been that it's relatively easy to make that
bottleneck go away by recompiling a kernel that supports larger pipes.

Try disabling "enable_environment_macros". It helped use greatly when we 
disabled this option. Nagios was spending most of its time allocating 
memory for environment variables it never used. (in our case)

Host/Service checks latency dropped from ~20 minutes to 10 seconds I 
would say.

(blame_nrpe e ricompiling it's ok)
On nrpe.cfg I defined this command:

Subject: NRPE with command arguments
In-Reply-To: 
References: 
Message-ID: 

Hi there,

Your final command to invoke check_disk is 
"check_nrpe!check_disk!$_HOSTDISKWARNING$!$_HOSTDISKCRITICAL$". Passing 
this to check_nrpe will only get check_disk as an argument passed through 
to nrpe (since your check_nrpe-command is "$USER1$/check_nrpe -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -p $_HOSTNRPE_PORT$ -c $ARG1$"). This in turn starts the 
check_disk-command via NRPE without any arguments (because 
'_HOSTDISKWARNING' and '_HOSTDISKCRITICAL' will get passed as ARG2 and 
ARG3 to check_nrpe) and in the end will cause check_disk only see a -w and 
-c option without thresholds.

I think what needs to be done is pass the whole command with escaped 
bang-characters to check_nrpe like this:
check_nrpe!check_disk\!$_HOSTDISKWARNING$\!$_HOSTDISKCRITICAL$
or maybe even enclose it in single or double quotes so it gets passed 
through as 1 argument to check_nrpe.....

Not sure if this works like it is supposed to (haven't tested it myself), 
but qua syntax this seems more correct.

HTH

Subject: [Nagios-users] SIGSEGV when trying to use eventhandler

Hi guys,
    I am new to nagios but so far it's working well for me and is monitoring 
a number of real and virtual hosts. Nagios 3.0.6 is installed on an 
OpenSolaris 2009.06 host and monitoring routers other devices and VM's in 
VirtualBox.
 
My issue is when I try to add an event handler, I get a SIGSEGV and nagios 
restarts.
 
 
I have posted the details of the code I am using and the error 
here...http://pastebin.com/vBb7xTND and also below (but it reads better @ 
pastebin).
 
I have tried several different scripts and code combinations (even empty 
scripts and commands like ls) and all give the same error.
 
Can anyone help me work out why it's happening?
 
Thanks.
 
hosts.cfg

define host{

host_name Server6 ; The name we're giving to this host
max_check_attempts 4
event_handler vboxmanage-restart ; Restart the vm
alias Server 6 - Win2008 Server ; A longer name associated with the host
address 192.168.0.6 ; IP address of the host
}


commands.cfg - note I have tried various scripts here incl. ones from the 
nagios guides/books and all give the same error.

 As you can see from the below, it all works fine (ie. no SIGSEGV's) if I 
comment out the eventhandler line from the hosts.cfg file.

There are several tweaks one can do to make Nagios more or less saturate the
CPU, but none of them are enough if the number of checks rise above a certain
level. We've noticed that we can run about 60K service-checks so long as we
don't have many state-changes in the network. That's not nearly good enough,
so it will be improved.

Work is under way to revamp the Nagios check handling though. It will get
better, but it's a series of large patches that need to be thoroughly tested
before they get released.

I'll holler when I have them in a testable state, since I guess a lot of
people would be quite interested in trying out the new checking engine I'm
working on. If it works as good as it seems to, it should alleviate a lot
of performance issues.

Doesn't this kill the use of said macros in notifications, etc?  I've
not played with this setting before, so I have nothing to go on, but
I use the hell out of macros in notifications (how could you do
notifications *without* them?)...

I can't really see a way to use notifications or event handlers
effectively without the macros...  Honest question.  :)

No. It just means you can't access the various macros as environment
variables, like so:

$NAGIOS_(macroname)

They still get swapped in at the command line, so they're still
totally useful for that particular purpose.

Not if you're using them in the 'standard' way by passing them as $MACRONAME$ in the command_line of the notification command. This is how 99% of installations use them I would expect.

If you've got custom commands that expect them to be available as $NAGIOS_MACRONAME, then yes, those would break.

Ah!  Thank you for the clarification, Andreas.  As I mentioned, I
have no experience with this setting and I'm fighting some
performance demons of my own.  This may very well help me as well.

It might be useful to be a little more verbose about this setting
in the default nagios.cfg - it makes no reference to NAGIOS_ and
doesn't make the distinction.  Maybe something like:


# ENABLE ENVIRONMENT MACROS
# This option determines whether or not Nagios will make all standard
# macros available as NAGIOS_ environment variables when host/service
# checks and system commands (event handlers, notifications, etc.) are
# executed.  Enabling this option can cause performance issues in


Thanks again!

Benny

Subject: Escalation question
Message-ID: <201005191720.01805.vladimir.indik@gmail.com>

I want to send notification to three contacts in order.
one at example.com
wait 10 minutes
two at example.com
wait 10 minutes
three at example.com

My config:
define service {
        host_name                       hostname
        service_description             servicename
        notification_interval           600              #!
        max_check_attempts              2               #!
        flap_detection_enabled          0
        contacts                        one at example.com
}

define serviceescalation{
        host_name                       hostname
        service_description             servicename
	first_notification              2
        last_notification               2
        notification_interval           600
        contacts                        two at example.com
        }

define serviceescalation{
        host_name                       facts
        service_description             Facts test
        first_notification              3
        last_notification               3
	notification_interval           0
	contacts                        three at example.com
        }

Is it all rihtg?

I have a problem with this configuration.
When the status changes to OK, the message about it only receives the last 
contact (e.g. three at example.com). This is a bug?

Subject: Best use of check_ntp_time plugin
Message-ID: <84836290D5AD43418C40DCF0C4A54ED3015DBEF7@kogex02.pmpl.co.uk>

Folks, 

We've had a problem recently where the timestamp has been drifting hours
ahead on the VM box running nagios. (v3.2.0 with SLES 10 SP2) 

As a consequence I'm setting up the plugin check_ntp_time to ensure that the
clock on the nagios monitoring box doesn't drift too far ahead (or behind.)
without 
telling us so that we can do something about it. 

For the threshold for warning and critical, I was thinking of -w 30 and -c
60 - would this seem sensible ? 

And also, if the alert did become critical because the drift was greater
than 60 seconds what would be a sensible way of fixing this without human
intervention. 
I thought that an event handler might be the way to go here that would
restart the ntpd daemon. 

I'd be interested to know what your thoughts are / whether there is a better
way ? 

thanks,
deborah

Don't run any kind of scheduling engine inside a VM. It's like
begging for Mr Murphy to come kick you in the nuts.

5 and 10 seem far more sensible to me.

You'd be better off with a cron'ed script setting the clock with
ntpdate every 5 minutes or so. That's usually not long enough time
for there to be a major clockskew. The problem with ntpd on vmware
is that the host system largely ignores the clock-tick speedup and
slowdowns that ntpd issues, so ntpd has no effect what so ever.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and

That worked fine :)
Other question, where exactly I've to insert quotes on nrpe.cfg commands to
prevent code injection?
I think like this:
[nrpe.cfg]
[...]
command[check_disk]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w *"*$ARG1$*"* -c
*"*$ARG2$*"*
[...]

Is it right?

Thank's!

I think that's fine. It all depends on what you want to pass to the 
command itself (in this case the 
/usr/locall.nagios/libexec/check_disk-plugin). If f.i. -w "$ARG1$" can use 
space-seperated values (which it can't, but just for arguments sake), then 
you have to specify (in nrpe.cfg) the (single- or) double-quotes.

Personally I tend not to use quoting in nrpe.cfg since in most cases it is 
not necessary, but there might be reasons to explicitly enclose such 
arguments in quotes.....

Corey,

I'm not an expert, but I'll relay some of my own experiences here.  I did
find that switching on large_installation_tweaks did indeed make a big difference
with our latencies.

We also were doing the pre-Nagios 3.2 practice of not doing active host checks.  As
the tuning guide recommends, it's actually more efficient to do active checks and then
enable the cached check results.   When we did that, we found that the host that we
were seeing latency issues on leveled out on latencies.  (It's good to graph those values,
by the way).  They were still high-ish, but the active host checks caused them
to stop increasing over time.

But additionally, we found that long running checks were also messing up latencies.
As I understand it, if Nagios schedules a check and then it takes a lot longer than Nagios
expects it to to return, that can mess up scheduling the other checks.  I see you've got
some check(s) that ran at a max of 120 seconds.  When I started seeing some latency
problems I also saw that I had a service check or two that was running for several minutes.
I tracked that down and changed the check so that it completed (or timed out, really)
more quickly returning status back to Nagios in a matter of seconds rather than minutes.
The latency plummeted after that.  In general, our policy is that most checks should
complete in under 30 seconds, preferably under 10.

In the same vein, I'm not quite sure how you could have any host checks that would take
11 seconds to execute.  Are you doing multiple pings/fpings to check that a host is up?  Typically you can get away with just a single fping rather than a series of 10 to tell
you that a host is not reachable.

Hope that helps.

Mark

AFAIK centos has a security mechanism called msec that can some time 
change the permissions of files and cause this issue .

check if you have the msec is working ( usually in the cron.d or 
cron.hourly or cron.daily directory ) and if so - you may want to set 
itup so it will not modify any of the nagios plugins or directories 
permissions.

Subject: NRPE: Unable to read output (after upgrading sudo to
 1.7.2p1-6.el5_5)
Message-ID: <33095823FD21DF429B481B5163264B794299072AFA@VMBX102.ihostexchange.net>

Hi,

	I have been using a check_ldap_fd command on a nagios client without any problem. That command requires superuser permission.
	After upgrading sudo to 1.7.2p1-6.el5_5, the command stops working.
	
	Running the following command on my nagios server always shows the following:
	[TEST:root at serv1 ~]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 192.168.12.2 -c check_ldap_fd
	NRPE: Unable to read output

	This is the command defined in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg on the nagios client:
	command[check_ldap_fd]=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ldap_fd -w 250 -c 500

	I also made the following changes to /etc/sudoers on the nagios client in order to make the command work:
	#Defaults    requiretty
	nagios ds2 = NOPASSWD:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ldap_fd

	Any ideas? Thanks.

What happens when you run it from the command line as the Nagios user?
I had a similar issue that required the check to run as root.

AFAIK centos has a security mechanism called msec that can some time 
change the permissions of files and cause this issue .

check if you have the msec is working ( usually in the cron.d or 
cron.hourly or cron.daily directory ) and if so - you may want to set 
itup so it will not modify any of the nagios plugins or directories 
permissions.

You've left out what is probably the most important information: how the 
check that is failing is defined.

Take a look at your host check definition. Chances are it's either got a 
typo in the configuration, is pointing at a plugin that's not installed, 
or is running into issues with something like SELinux that is denying 
access to the plugin.

You might be thinking of SELinux - this is disabled.  I've looked through
the crons and see nothing in there that would be modifying permissions,
especially not on anything in /opt.

Thanks for the reply Guy.
 
I installed nagios from the "contrib" repo. as per the blog here...and all 
looks like it's working fine. This is the most recent version in the repo's. 
I guess I could compile it from source, but would like to be sure that's the 
issue before I go down this path.

I'm definitely no expert but...
* What does it say when you 'ldd' the nagios binary? Are all the libraries 
the binary is linked against able to be found? Are those libraries 
up-to-date?
* Where did you get nagios from? Did you compile it or is it pre-built? If 
pre-built, are there any updates?
* I don't know Solaris well enough to know how to trace your running nagios 
with a very simple configuration, but that might be the next step. strace?

Subject: [Nagios-users] SIGSEGV when trying to use eventhandler

Hi guys,
    I am new to nagios but so far it's working well for me and is monitoring 
a number of real and virtual hosts. Nagios 3.0.6 is installed on an 
OpenSolaris 2009.06 host and monitoring routers other devices and VM's in 
VirtualBox.
 
My issue is when I try to add an event handler, I get a SIGSEGV and nagios 
restarts.
 
 
I have posted the details of the code I am using and the error 
here...http://pastebin.com/vBb7xTND and also below (but it reads better @ 
pastebin).
 
I have tried several different scripts and code combinations (even empty 
scripts and commands like ls) and all give the same error.
 
Can anyone help me work out why it's happening?
 
Thanks.
 
hosts.cfg

define host{
use windows-server ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name Server6 ; The name we're giving to this host
max_check_attempts 4
event_handler vboxmanage-restart ; Restart the vm
alias Server 6 - Win2008 Server ; A longer name associated with the host
address 192.168.0.6 ; IP address of the host
}


commands.cfg - note I have tried various scripts here incl. ones from the 
nagios guides/books and all give the same error.

# 'vboxmanage_restart' command definition

Well, I didn't exactly leave this out.  Remember I mentioned that it's a
clean install from the Quickstart document.  I've changed nothing in it
other than the admin contact in contacts.cfg.  So whatever's there is there
in the default localhost checks out of the box.

This is actually the 4th clean install of Nagios on this system.  This time,
I made it a point to change nothing anywhere other than the email address in
contacts.cfg.  The first 2, I'd already started configuring hosts for
monitoring and each time, I ran into the same problem with the "localhost
DOWN" messages each time.  I've never had this problem with earlier versions
of Nagios.

Also, SELinux is disabled, as is the local firewall.

# getenforce
Disabled
# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
# service ip6tables status
Firewall is stopped.

Thanks

No, it is working as designed. Read up on how escalations work here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html

It is considered best practice to include contacts from lower
escalation ranges in higher escalations, because of this exact issue.

Quote the above doc:

"When defining notification escalations, it is important to keep in
mind that any contact groups that were members of "lower" escalations
(i.e. those with lower notification number ranges) should also be
included in "higher" escalation definitions. This should be done to
ensure that anyone who gets notified of a problem continues to get
notified as the problem is escalated. "

Martin Melin

Everything works fine when running from commandline as nagios user or as
root.  It even works fine within Nagios *except* something happens every 2
hours (on odd-numbered hours at that) that causes these messages.  Any other
time, everything is fine.

Here's the Service Status details for localhost (edited slightly to fit in
here somewhat neatly).  This is from the web interface:

Michael:

What check are you using for the host check?

The line we're looking for is under your host definition and looks like so:

check_command              

Then, copy/paste the command definition for that command.

Patrick asked the vital question, and you blew him off.  The
Quickstart page doesn't say what is in the default config, and most of
us aren't going to go dig up the sample config from a source tarball
to answer your question.

Either provide the requested information, or don't expect much help.

Yeah, let me guess.... is your check_interval 120?  At that point, it
does a host check... what're you running from the commandline?  Is it
the same as the host check command?

These services are inconsequential.  The host is down, not its services.

No thanks.  I'll use an earlier version.  I'm not exactly having a great day
either.  A little civility would get a better response from me as I've been
nothing but civil and have gone out of my way to provide copious amounts of
information.  And no, I did NOT "blow anyone off" - at least until now.
Sorry if it sounded that way.

Eh.  The version shouldn't matter, though an older version might come
with a different config.  As far as it goes, Patrick did ask for
information and got this in response:

I will apologize for this line:

It's tone was unnecessary, but the content was not.  Your problem
could be identified much more simply if you would provide the
information requested.  I didn't intend to offend; such is the risk
with written anonymous communication.

Have a nice day!

Subject: Escalations - Warning to Critical, without skipping?
In-Reply-To: 
References: 	
	
Message-ID: <4BF42DF5.2030804@5dninja.net>

So, here's my situation.  I've got around 10k checks, Warnings do not 
notify, because we have historically had issues with Warning 
notifications (from the contact group setting) going out, then a service 
turning critical and the pager escalations (which only include critical) 
skipping directly to "Page everyone, and a couple managers" because we'd 
already had 3 warning-level notifications.

So, now all contacts have warning notifications disabled.  Which leads 
to missed events.

Is there any way to notify on warnings, without incrementing the 
notification count, and affecting escalations?

What I want is:  Warnings notify, and when a service turns Critical, it 
always starts at step 1 of the escalations.
That way, ops and dev can get notifications about service issues, before 
we get to the point where we need to page about it.  And when it does 
get to be paging time, nagios isn't waking up management at 4am.

I'd love to avoid having duplicate service checks, with a "warning" 
check that has warning notifications enabled, and a "critical" check 
with warning notifications disabled.

Ideal would be some manner of having split escalations, where it tracks 
the number of notifications of a specific state, and escalates based on 
that, but it looks like that requires some serious refactoring of the code.

(Running 3.0.6)

Perhaps if you're upgrading and haven't touched the resources.cfg, then you

I just tried this and latency dropped from 171 seconds to 149 seconds.
Thanks, that definitely helped. I'm actually surprised that it did,
since our nagios process doesn't seem to be CPU bound (75-85% idle,
rarely with any individual core below 40% idle). It might be that I'm
drawing the wrong conclusion from top, though, since the nagios process
moves around from core to core.

Anyway, thanks again, and thanks to everyone for the advice on- and
off-list. I'm going to try more of your suggestions, and I'll let you
know how it goes.

I found the same problem with sudo after an update.

Seems the comment line in the sudoers file causes a synax with
#comment, you need a space, so # comment works ok.

It looks like use_large_installation_tweaks did the trick. I could have
sworn I tried that before; likely I set it to 0 instead of 1 or
something foolish like that.

Anyway, I wanted to test the individual components of
large_installation_tweaks to see what helped.
* child_processes_fork_twice=0: latency drops from 149 to 18
* free_child_process_memory=0:  latency drops from 149 to 0.6
* disabling summary macros in environment variables doesn't seem to be
  individually configurable, but I expect that's disabled already by
  enable_environment_macros=0.

So, thanks again to everybody who helped. Latency is now 0.35% of what
it used to be.

Subject: check_openmanage weirdness
Message-ID: <4BF440F9.2040205@stern.nyu.edu>

I have just started implementing some check_openmanage checks on my 
servers, and have run into some odd behavior with the combination of 
Windows 2003, OM 6.2 and the SNMP check. It appears that this 
combination is having issues with the drive/controller reporting. 
Initially things worked fine under OM 5.4, until the SNMP service would 
die (other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...) - so i upgraded to OM 6.2, when I 
observed the following behaviour.

When the check is run without any blacklisting, the plugin reports that 
there is a global status WARNING, but all components are OK - the 
WARNING is coming from out of date Firmware/Driver versions as listed below:

------
Firmware/Driver Information for Controller PERC 6/i Integrated
Firmware Version    6.0.3-0002
Minimum Required Firmware Version    6.2.0-0012
Driver Version    2.14.00.32
Minimum Required Driver Version    2.23.00.32
Storport Driver Version    5.2.3790.3959
Minimum Required Storport Driver Version    5.2.3790.4173
------

Now when run in debug mode, I noticed that it had no information about 
the drives at all (note the beta version - same output as plugin v3.5.7):
------

1) do : uname -n
the output must match the host defined, in your case ds2
JUST in case put a space between NOPASSWD: and /usr/....

2) make sure nagios has a correct/auth shell (/etc/shells)

3) add the following lines in the sudo file
Cmnd_Alias      LIST            =       /usr/bin/sudo -l
ALL             ALL     =       NOPASSWD: LIST
then as root : su - nagios 
once you are nagios do a : sudo -l 
and maybe a : sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ldap_fd -w 250 -c 500


not much... 

-ls

[snip]

This is the key to this problem. There are warnings associated with the
storage subsystem, but that information is not available via SNMP for
some reason. The global status of the server inherits these warnings,
however, so the plugin reports this as some unknown error.

Does omreport report anything on storage? Try:

  omreport storage controller

If that works, try getting the same information via SNMP:

  snmpwalk -v2c -c   1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.1

Usually the problem is that the storage components of OMSA is not
installed, in which case neither command will work.

Yes, that is the normal behaviour when the plugin doesn't find any
storage components. The plugin can't report this as a problem, since
it's OK for a server not to have storage reported by OMSA (which only
reports on supported storage), or any storage at all for that matter
(diskless servers).

You should check your OMSA install. The storage parts of it was probably
not installed. It may also be that there is something wrong with the
OMSA+SNMP integration, which prevents storage information from being
presented. That would be trickier to debug.

It's not *exactly* standard because it's not installed in /usr/local/nagios. ;)  Does $USER1$ in resource.cfg point to '/opt/nagios-3.2.1/libexec'?

Yes, this is the process pool code, although additional changes has to be
made in order to solve the bottleneck problem with the named pipe for
submitting commands and passive checkresults.

Should be glorious once it's ready.

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

Subject: Reporting for redundant hosts
Message-ID: <4BF4F3DD.8020803@science-computing.de>

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a problem for a long time now, having done some research on
this, but never been able to find a solution:

We're monitoring a lot of redundant network hosts (routers, firewalls,
etc.) where we have to report the uptime of the whole setup, not only
the uptime of a single component.

An example:

We have routerA and routerB, that form a HA setup. If one router is
taken down, for example to update its firmware, or simply crashes, the
whole setup still should have a reported uptime of 100%.

What I've already tried is to configure a cluster service. The problem
with this approach is, that I can't distinguish in the reporting whether
the host was down or unreachable, which is another crucial number to
report, also the downtimes don't get reflected very well.

I'm running Nagios 3.2.1 with NDOutils if that matters for the question.
Is there any plugin or addon that provides this functionality?

Many thanks,
Stephan

I use check_snmp to get certain traps from Openmanage but I
suspect check_openmanage works the same way. There is a 
separate mib (dcstorag(10893).mib) for the disk storage side as
opposed to the rest of the chassis (10892.mib) so my guess
would be the problem lies there.
What does the following give you?
define command{
  command_name    dell_returnglobaldiskstatus
  command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$  -w 0:3 -c 7:5  -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.110.13.0 -l 'Disk Status' -P 2c
  }
where ARG1 is your community string

I have just started implementing some check_openmanage checks on my 
servers, and have run into some odd behavior with the combination of 
Windows 2003, OM 6.2 and the SNMP check. It appears that this 
combination is having issues with the drive/controller reporting. 
Initially things worked fine under OM 5.4, until the SNMP service would 
die (other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...) - so i upgraded to OM 6.2, when I 
observed the following behaviour.

When the check is run without any blacklisting, the plugin reports that 
there is a global status WARNING, but all components are OK - the 
WARNING is coming from out of date Firmware/Driver versions as listed below:

------
Firmware/Driver Information for Controller PERC 6/i Integrated
Firmware Version    6.0.3-0002
Minimum Required Firmware Version    6.2.0-0012
Driver Version    2.14.00.32
Minimum Required Driver Version    2.23.00.32
Storport Driver Version    5.2.3790.3959
Minimum Required Storport Driver Version    5.2.3790.4173
------

Now when run in debug mode, I noticed that it had no information about 
the drives at all (note the beta version - same output as plugin v3.5.7):

One approach is to monitor a VIP for the service (i.e. the "clustered" 
ip of the external facing IP address of the routers) for  finding if the 
service is up , and the individual devices by their direct IP  for each 
device  activity .

This will give you both the business view ( if the VIP is down then the 
business is impacted) , and the operational view ( one device impacted ).

[snip]

This is the key to this problem. There are warnings associated with the
storage subsystem, but that information is not available via SNMP for
some reason. The global status of the server inherits these warnings,
however, so the plugin reports this as some unknown error.

Does omreport report anything on storage? Try:

   omreport storage controller

If that works, try getting the same information via SNMP:

   snmpwalk -v2c -c   1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.1

Usually the problem is that the storage components of OMSA is not
installed, in which case neither command will work.

Yes, that is the normal behaviour when the plugin doesn't find any
storage components. The plugin can't report this as a problem, since
it's OK for a server not to have storage reported by OMSA (which only
reports on supported storage), or any storage at all for that matter
(diskless servers).

You should check your OMSA install. The storage parts of it was probably
not installed. It may also be that there is something wrong with the
OMSA+SNMP integration, which prevents storage information from being
presented. That would be trickier to debug.

What I want to capture is, something with 120+ (for TIME) and 20%+ (CPU).

Have Nagios issue an alert of such an occurance.

My Nagios box already monitors our AIX box remotely, using check_by_ssh to scan for errors in certain log files (using Consol's plugins); I would like to expand on this with the above.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

If you've got even basic scripting skills, Nagios plugins are incredibly 
easy to write.  Documentation is here:

http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html

However, the most basic plugins only need to worry about a couple 
things: They should have one line of output, and return an exit code of 
0 for OK, 1 for warning, 2 for critical, and 3 for unknown.

Given that, all you'd need to do is write a simple script that runs that 
command and parses it looking for times over a certain value, and 
returns a 1 or a 2 if something crosses your thresholds.

This is for sure a good idea. On the other hand this would mean that we
have to monitor another "host" and also plan for downtimes of this host,
too. An approach where I just define the redundant hosts and get the
report that I need would in my opinion be the better one. The data is
all there, it just has to be evaluated. I really can't believe, that I'm
the only one with this problem?

I don't know about your case, but what I do here if there are multiple 
devices which support a single address is put all of them in Nagios as 
Assaf mentioned. I'll then set the "real" hosts as the parents of the 
virtual one, and if things are set up that way you *don't* need to worry 
about setting downtimes for the virtual address, because it will 
automatically be marked unreachable if all of the real addresses are down.

In my case, though, I primarily want to know if the VIP is working, and 
am not quite as concerned with the individual hosts serving it (though 
those are important as well, just not as important as if the service 
they provide is available). Based on your statement that you'd "have to 
monitor another host," it sounds like knowing the state of this service 
isn't really as important to you as knowing if the individual hosts that 
serve it are working.  Frankly, that seems a bit backwards to me, but I 
don't really know your environment.

I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do just this for vanilla
Nagios, but op5:s Ninja project includes SLA reports with this exact
functionality: http://www.op5.org/community/projects/ninja

You're not. Ninja has cluster-mode capabilities in its reporting tool.
Check it out if you're interested. Adding such a feature to the cgi's
would be more hassle than it's worth, and I sure as hell won't get the
time for it from work since we already have it in our own reporting
solution.

Unfortunately my Windows knowledge is rather limited. I have never
installed OMSA on Windows, but I suspect that there are options to
choose from during the install. The first thing I would do is to
re-install OMSA step by step and try to figure out what I might have
missed. On Linux, the install procedure and packaging of the OMSA
components changed with version 6.2.0. This may very well be the case
with the Windows version as well.

Subject: A nrpe (check_oracle) command returns garbage
Message-ID: <1335C03DA8D9EF4B8BA9ADCA15A47F93019673ED@ABZSSEX002.ihess.com>

Hi List

I have a problem where a check_nrpe returns garbage on nagios server. 

The command is a "check_oracle" defined in nrpe.cfg 

- command[check_oracle]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_oracle --db l919

on the local Solaris host it works normally but run from nagios server
it returns garbage. Other check_nrpe commands (ie check_users etc) run
normally on server and return correct output. 

The server is running RHEL5.3 and client is Solaris 9. I am using nrpe
1.8 on client and server. Tried later vers but this seemed to
incompatible with the Solaris client. I have swapped the
libexec/check_oracle script but this looks correct and it does work when
run locally.

I have enabled debug on nrpe.cfg but nothing useful produced in log.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Is it possible to give a user access to only one hostgroup?

Someone told me that  " if authentication is enabled is to only show hosts and services to people who are contacts on those hosts and services".     Would  somebody please  give me an example of this setting?

When I check the cgi.cfg file, I cannot figure out how this can be done.

Thanks in Advance.

Nobuo,

   If you enable authentication in cgi.cfg (use_authentication=1),
Nagios will automatically limit access to hosts and services that
the user is a contact for.

   So, first you enable authentication as above.

   Then, you either create a new contact group for this user, or
add them to an existing one.  Once they are in a contact group,
you add that contact group to the host or service (the contact_groups
parameter).

   Nagios will take care of all the rest for you.

Benny

Subject: Only 1 hostgroup access?
Message-ID: 

Thanks Benny,

I forgot about "contact_name".
If I don't specify any user in the cgi.cfg, Nagios only allows access if the user is in "contact" group or "contacts".

Thank You !

Nobuo

No, I've never seen a random notification from Nagios ever.  It's always 
notified as configured.

Chances are you've got one of a few things going on:

a) You *have* told Nagios to notify on recovery states, either in the 
host definition or in an escalation definition (which would be easy to 
verify if you showed how you've configured those), or

b) You've got a couple instances of Nagios running at the same time, and 
one of them is running with an old configuration that did specify to 
notify on recovery, or

c) You've got mail backed up on some box somewhere (which should be 
obvious from looking at timestamps and headers on the messages), or

d) Some combination of the above.

Subject: check_multi advice to check "Internet available"
Message-ID: <20100524093757.GN23462@torres.zugschlus.de>

Hi,

I am checking a number of servers which are "on the Internet", and are
thus likely to become unreachable for my Nagios installations in case
of an outage out there on the Internet. I would like to have a "host"
which I could use as parent host for all those servers so that I don't
get buried under an avalanche of HOST DOWN alarms should my Internet
go partly or fully down.

I have investigated using check_multi do help me with that, and have
come up with a solution which can help me with this task. I would like
to solicit your comments to that solution.

I have defined a number of hosts which are checked by Nagios proper,
just as normal hosts are. Their individual notifications may be
switched off, but I haven't done so since I like to see what's going
on at least in the start phase. Their hostnames all start with
mh-internet, so I can use a single check_multi config line to pull
them all into a single check_multi check. check_multi is then used as
service and host check on a "virtual host" called internet, which goes
CRITICAL when more than one mh-internet-foo host is CRITICAL.

Here is my detailed configuration:

/etc/nagios3/conf.d/internet.cmd:
statusdat [ internet ] = /^mh-internet-.*$/:my-defaultping

state[WARNING] = COUNT(WARNING) > 1
state[CRITICAL] = COUNT(CRITICAL) > 1
state[UNKNOWN] = COUNT(UNKNOWN) > 1


Nagios configuration:
define host {
        use                     mh-host
        host_name               mh-internet
        alias                   internet
        address                 127.0.0.1
        parents                 localhost
        check_command           check_multi!-f /etc/nagios3/conf.d/internet.cmd
}

define service {
        name                            my-internet
        use                             my-service
        service_description             my-internet
        check_command                   check_multi!-f /etc/nagios3/conf.d/internet.cmd
        host_name                       mh-internet
}

define command {
        command_name                    check_multi
        command_line                    /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_multi $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$
}

define host {
        use                     mh-host
        host_name               mh-internet-torres
        hostgroups              mh, ping
        alias                   torres.zugschlus.de
        address                 85.214.68.41
        parents                 mh-internet
}

define host {
        use                     mh-host
        host_name               mh-internet-heise
        hostgroups              mh, ping
        alias                   www.heise.de
        address                 www.heise.de
        parents                 mh-internet
}

define host {
        use                     mh-host
        host_name               mh-internet-google-de
        hostgroups              mh, ping
        alias                   www.google.de
        address                 www.google.de
        parents                 mh-internet
}

I am wondering whether this is a valid approach, or whether there
are better solutions for this challenge. If somebody familiar with
check_multi configuration, I would like to know whether there are any
possible issues hiding in my use of check_multi. Any comments will be
appreciated.

Greetings
Marc

Have you considered adding your upstream router as a host, and making
it the parent of your remote hosts?

Also, remember to take off the 'u' notification flag of the uplink's
children, otherwise you'll still be buried under a pile of
notifications.

Yes, but that's a workaround which will misfire in the case where it's
the own ISP that's faulty at its uplik.

If that's something you're concerned about, your check_multi will also 
"misfire" when the problem is at the uplink for the machines that you're 
monitoring.

Monitoring a gateway and making it the parent is in no way a "workaround".

An ideal installation for monitoring WAN-connected hosts would monitor 
your default gateway and make that the parent of all hosts.  You'd also 
monitor the router at each remote site and make that the parent of all 
hosts at that site.

I know all this. My first Nagios experiences date back to when it was
still called Netsaint. Of course, the default gateway, the CPE and the
COE of the "local" ISP are monitored. But that's all that can be
comfortably monitored since the Internet uses dynamic routing and the
paths are subject to change without further notice. Furthermore, a lot
of housing providers configure their backbone and access routers to
not respond to pings, so it's a challenge to monitor these sites.

http://blog.zugschlus.de/archives/770-Nagios,-Parent-Hosts,-and-traceroute-on-the-Internet.html
has my thoughts on that matter (thankfully written in English). Be
aware that this article is more than a year old, so things have
changed since then.

Subject: LDAP authentication and CGI authorization problem
Message-ID: 

Hi all,

I'm facing problems while trying to enable LDAP authentication on a Nagios
3.2.1 install (using htpasswd.users everything works fine).
This is how I've configured Apache:


    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Nagios - Ldap"
    AuthBasicProvider ldap
    AuthLDAPUrl
ldaps://unixautmi-ese01.sky.local:636,unixautca-ese01.sky.local:636/ou=people,dc=sky,dc=local?uid
    AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=authuser,dc=sky,dc=local"
    AuthLDAPBindPassword oaj5Phum
    Require ldap-dn uid=gandolfim,ou=people,dc=sky,dc=local
    Require ldap-user gandolfim
    AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
    Require ldap-group cn=systemadminmi,ou=groups,dc=sky,dc=local
    Require ldap-group cn=infosec,ou=groups,dc=sky,dc=local
    AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid


    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Nagios - Ldap - CGI"
    AuthBasicProvider ldap
    AuthLDAPUrl
ldaps://unixautmi-ese01.sky.local:636,unixautca-ese01.sky.local:636/ou=people,dc=sky,dc=local?uid
    AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=authuser,dc=sky,dc=local"
    AuthLDAPBindPassword oaj5Phum
    Require ldap-dn uid=gandolfim,ou=people,dc=sky,dc=local
    Require ldap-user gandolfim
    AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
    Require ldap-group cn=systemadminmi,ou=groups,dc=sky,dc=local
    Require ldap-group cn=infosec,ou=groups,dc=sky,dc=local
    AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid


I've defined my username as a contact

define contact {
        use             email-contact
        contact_name    gandolfim
        alias           Mattia Gandolfi
        email           mattia.gandolfi at xxxxxxx.com
        pager           none
}

and I've set the following options in cgi.cfg

use_authentication=1
use_ssl_authentication=0
authorized_for_system_information=gandolfim
authorized_for_configuration_information=gandolfim
authorized_for_system_commands=gandolfim
authorized_for_all_services=gandolfim
authorized_for_all_hosts=gandolfim
authorized_for_all_service_commands=gandolfim

Authentication works fine, and I see "Logged in as *gandolfim"* on top of
the Tactical Monitoring Overview page.
However, as soon as I try to access the cgi, for example to disable
notifications for a service, I get "Sorry, but you are not authorized to
commit the specified command."

What am I missing?

Thanks

Mattia

OK, this looks like a bug in the upgrade process. I ran a repair on the 
installation of the clients, and the OID is now reporting correctly.

Thanks for your help,

Greg

Subject: nagios/opsview with qpage
Message-ID: <4BFC0604.8020506@brucetelecom.com>

Hi,

I've seen a few examples of qpage working with nagios (I'm using opsview 
as a frontend to nagios).
Qpage is working ok manually, but when I try and have nagios send the 
page nothing comes out.
I'm using ubuntu 8.04 LTS server running opsview 3.7

Here's my misccommands.cfg, contacts.cfg

define command{
         command_name notify-by-pagerscript
         command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notifications/qpage -s 
localhost -p $PAGER$ -f $HOSTNAME$ $SERVICEDESC$ `SERVICEOUTPUT$' $HOSTNAME$
}

define contact {
         contact_name    admin/01default
         alias           Administrator
         use             global-contact
         service_notification_period     24x7
         host_notification_period        24x7
         notification_level              1
        email hidden at whatever
         pager   INETPager
         host_notification_commands      
notify-by-email,notify-by-pagerscript
         host_notification_options       u,d,r,f
         service_notification_commands   
notify-by-email,notify-by-pagerscript
         service_notification_options    w,c,r,u,f
}

Any ideas?

qpage is running with /usr/local/bin/qpage -q 5 in the background waiting.

Thanks!

I?m a newbie, but...

Does your /etc/hosts/ file have this line in it:
127.0.0.1      localhost

It should have that.

The nagios log files have different time stamps. How can this be converted
to the normal time stamp? Can nagios config be changed to output the normal
time stamp on the log files?

Thanks!

The following link has the answer you need:

http://support.nagios.com/knowledgebase/faqs/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&catid=35&faq_id=70&expand=false&showdesc=true

But, I'll post it here as well:

To quote:

-----8<-----
#!/usr/bin/perl
# nagios-log-print
# taken from the faqs section FAQID: F0070 on the www.nagios.org website
#

if (!@ARGV[0]) {
    print "Usage: {jumi [knowledge-based/faq/viewfaq.php]} \n";
    print "\n";
    print "prints the specified Nagios-logfile with timestamps\n";
    print "converted to human readable time\n";
    exit 1;
}

open(LOG, at ARGV[0]) || die "no Nagios log file named >>>>>>@ARGV[0]<<<<<<";
while () {
    ($part1, $part2) = split(/\s+/, $_, 2);
    $part1 =~ s/\[//;
    $part1 =~ s/\]//;
    print "[", scalar localtime($part1), "]\;$part2\n";
};
close(LOG);


Alternatively, if you want to display the log from the command line use;

perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime(jumi)/e' nagios.log

Darren,
I don't know if this helps..but I use qpage for nagios and other *nix
alerts.  I call qpage directly from /usr/local/bin..here is my info

####command.cfg

define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-sms
        command_line    /usr/local/bin/qpage -s localhost -p

        }

####contacts.cfg
define contact{
        contact_name                    ITpager

Subject: NSClient++ 0.3.8 released!
Message-ID: <4BFCB05C.3090608@medin.name>

Hello,

Actually this was released last week but I did not have time to get it 
up on sourceforge and what not but here we go...
New version of NSClient++ (Agent for monitoring amongst other things) 
Windows from (amongst other systems) Nagios.

You can download it from either the project page: http://nsclient.org or 
sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nscplus/files/ I shall see 
what happen to nagiosforge seems it is not there any more.

Whats new:
A lot of new features and, I am especially, proud of the new event log 
filters.
For those who has not seen the eventlog filter I recommend reading up on 
the quick guide i wrote on the
http://nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/CheckEventLog/CheckEventLog page on the wiki.
It has a fairly good getting started guide I hope. But a quick note is 
that the new default filter is:
   generated > -2d AND severity NOT IN ('success', 'informational')
Which I believe is a lot more readable the before.

Other news are many minor changes and fixes in the file7disk related 
checks as well as index in CheckCounter to allow handling multiple 
languages and locales.

The changelog grouped by module can be found here:
New commands
  - CheckSingleFile - to check spects of a single file use like so:
     CheckSingleFile file=d:\nrpe_512.pem warn=>100 check=line-count 
warn=>100 crit=>170 check=size
  - CheckSingleRegEntry
     CheckSingleRegEntry 
path=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Application\MaxSize 
"syntax=%path%: %int%"  warn==20971520 crit==20971520 check=int ShowAll=long

Scripts
  - Cleaned up scripts folder
  - Added new "NagiosPlugin library" from op5
  - Added check_no_rdp.vbs (Checks that no RDP connection is online)
  - Added check_battery.vbs which checks batterys via WMI
  - Added check_printer.vbs to check printers via WMI

CheckExternalScript
  - Added new "script templating" thing to simplify adding scripts:
     [Wrapped Scripts]
     test=check_test.ps1 ; (will use correct template for running ps1 
commands)
  - Fixed erroneous error message "Failed to peek buffer"

NSCA
  - Added obfuscated_password to NSCA section
  - Added so "global" ([Settings] password=...) passwords are read from 
the NSCA module

CheckEventLog
  - Brand new filter syntax based on SQL where clauses
     Avalible operators are: =, !=, >, <, >=, <=, eq, ne, gt, lt, ge, 
le, OR, AND, like, IN, NOT IN

CheckCounter
  - Added new index option to CheckCounter to allow looking up index and 
thus you can use the same checks on multiple locales and also use 
characters not present in "NRPE charset)
     CheckCounter index "Counter=\1450(_Total)\1458" ShowAll MaxWarn=500 
MaxCrit=1000
     nsclient++ -noboot CheckSystem pdhlookup Utskrifter
  - Optional new "safe" PDH subsystem (slower, but possibly safer)
     pdh_subsystem=thread-safe
  - Added checks for missing counters to CheckCounter

CheckDriveSize
  - Added volume support for CheckDriveSize (CHeckAll) like so:
     CheckDriveSize MinWarn=50% MinCrit=25% CheckAll=volumes 
FilterType=FIXED FilterType=REMOTE
  - Changed "missing" disks are now a critical error and not unknown
  - Improved CheckDriveSize bad FilterType error message
  - Added option to return error messages to the client [CheckDisk] 
show_errors=1 (defauilt is off 0)

CheckFile2
  - Dates are signed (means you can use neagitve dates to check the future)
     CheckFile2 debug path=D:\tmp\dates filter+creation=<-30m MaxWarn=1 
MaxCrit=1 "syntax=%filename%: %creation%"
     CRITICAL:future.txt: C: Thursday, December 31, 2009 12:47:11, found 
files: 1 > critical|'found files'=1;1;1;
  - Added checks for missing path and missing filter on CheckFile2 thus
  - Fixed so files locked for reading can be checked (basic checks)
  - Improved speed of file chyecking (does not check file data twice)
  - Changed so missing files and such generate an error
  - Fixed major issue with date matching in CheckFile* which was not 
working at all.

- Exe file version checks:
     CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.exe filter+version=!=6.0.2900.5512 
"syntax=%filename%: %version%" MaxWarn=1
  - Line count check:
     CheckFile2 path=D:\tmp pattern=*.txt filter+line-count=ne:3 
"syntax=%filename%: %line-count%" MaxWarn=1
  - Added ignore-errors to "ignore" any filesystem related errors 
(NOTICE this is probably not what you want)
  - Added master-syntax to CheckFile2 to change the overall message like 
so: %list%, %files%, %matches%
     CheckFile2 MinWarn=10 MinCrit=10 path=D:\WINDOWS\system32 
filter+size=gt:0 truncate=10 ignore-errors "master-syntax=%matches%/%files%"
  - Added %user% to syntax to print user who generated message
     CheckEventLog file=application file=system filter=new filter=out 
MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter-generated=>2w filter-severity==success 
filter-severity==informational truncate=1023 unique descriptions 
"syntax=%user% (%count%)"
     CRITICAL: (1),  (2), NT INSTANS\SYSTEM (3), NT INSTANS\SYSTEM (3), 
NT INSTANS\SYSTEM (3), missing (3), missing (5),  (4), missing (2), 
missing (2), missing (2), missing (2),  (1), eventlog: 33 > 
critical|'eventlog'=33;1;1;

Generic:
  - Added != to all string comparisons
  - Changes syntax of performance counters: Alias is ' %' and it 
also has the "full" non % data as ''
     CheckDriveSize CheckAll MaxWarnUsed=80% MaxCritUsed=90%
     CRITICAL:CRITICAL: C:\: Total: 146G - Used: 140G (95%) - Free: 
6.31G (5%) > critical, D:\: Total: 152G - Used: 148G (97%) - Free: 3.59G 
(3%) > critical|'C:\ %'=95%;80;90; 'C:\'=140.17G;117.18;131.83;0;146.48; 
'D:\ %'=97%;80;90; 'D:\'=147.93G;121.21;136.3;0;151.52;
  - Added warning message ewhen numerical filters evaluate to zero (and 
are not 0)
  -  added a new "option" in conjunction with -c you can now do -m to 
specify the module to load.
     nsclient++ -m CheckDisk.dll -c CheckDriveSize MaxWarn=100 CheckAll

Hi Andrea,

check_openmanage is designed to work with relatively recent OMSA
versions. You are using OMSA version 4.5.0, which is very old. The
server in question (poweredge 1800) is supported by newer OMSA, so the
solution is an OMSA upgrade to the latest version (6.2.0).

OMSA versions 5.3.0 and later is OK to use with check_openmanage, and
I've had reports that 5.1.0 and 5.2.0 works as well (but no
guarantee). Anything older will yield strange results or will simply not
work.

Cheers,

Thank you for the answer, I'm going to upgrade both servers to OMSA ver.
6. This shoud solve the problem.

OMSA version 5.2 that is currently running on the other server
(PowerEdge 1950) seems to work well with the plugin.

I have it working now.
I think I'll shorten down the message to fit onto the SMS capacity 
limit, but it does work.
I was using $PAGER$ when doing -p $PAGER$ in my command and for some 
reason it didn't like that, even if I defined it under my contacts..

Subject: Overly persistent contact group
Message-ID: 

Dear list,

I have nagios3 on Debian Lenny.  I created a service template and host
template for a customer as well as a couple of contacts and a contact
group.  I specified the contact group in the host and service template
and created some host and service defininitions based on the
aforementioned templates.

So I hoped that notifications would be sent to these new contacts as per
the setup descibed above. This hope failed, and notifications were only
sent to a 'admins' contactgroup, which is not specified anywhere in the
setup of those hosts, services, contacts, group or template.

When I remove the 'admins' contact group from the config files and run a
test of the config, I get this:

Error: Contact group 'admins' specified in service 'SYSTEM STATUS' for
host 'host.domain.tld' is not defined anywhere!

Even though this contact group is mentioned nowhere in connection with
these hosts or services.

It seems that all contact groups except the one named 'admins' fail to
register with the Nagios system and that the 'admins' contact group is
somehow automatically associated with all host definitions, regardless of
which contact group is actually specified in configuration.

Mordur,

Two thoughts on this.  First, I find that I've been burned many times by
contact/contactgroup inheritance.  That is, where you define a contactgroup
for a host and that gets inherited by the service (when I don't want it to).

Second, I rely a lot on looking at the "Configuration" link at the bottom of the
Nagios web interface.  That lets you look and see what's really defined for
all the objects (hosts, services, contacts, contactgroups, timeperiods, etc).
Essentially it allows me to go in and compare what I intended to say in the
configuration with what Nagios really is using.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Overly persistent contact group

Dear list,

I have nagios3 on Debian Lenny.  I created a service template and host
template for a customer as well as a couple of contacts and a contact
group.  I specified the contact group in the host and service template
and created some host and service defininitions based on the
aforementioned templates.

So I hoped that notifications would be sent to these new contacts as per
the setup descibed above. This hope failed, and notifications were only
sent to a 'admins' contactgroup, which is not specified anywhere in the
setup of those hosts, services, contacts, group or template.

When I remove the 'admins' contact group from the config files and run a
test of the config, I get this:

Error: Contact group 'admins' specified in service 'SYSTEM STATUS' for
host 'host.domain.tld' is not defined anywhere!

Even though this contact group is mentioned nowhere in connection with
these hosts or services.

It seems that all contact groups except the one named 'admins' fail to
register with the Nagios system and that the 'admins' contact group is
somehow automatically associated with all host definitions, regardless of
which contact group is actually specified in configuration.

Subject: check_by_ssh plugin;
	how to ignore pulgin timeout being critical?
Message-ID: 

Hi List,



I have Nagios currently using check_by_ssh (check_by_ssh v2002 (nagios-plugins 1.4.13)) to check some of my remote servers, it calls a log script on the remote server and the log script returns a warning if the log files matches the criteria.



Every now and then, the check_by_ssh script gets timed out, and returns the message below.



Is there a way to suppress this at the Nagios box, so that Plugin Timed Out messages do not get emailed as "Critical"?



Anyone know? Below is my command definition..



define command{

                command_name             van-oppy-pro_data450

                command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H someserver -p 22 -i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa -t 10 -C "/home/nagios/plugins/check_logfiles -t 30 -f /home/nagios/log_conf/usr1_data450.lg"

}



Nagios alert returned when the box being queried is very busy (this does not happen often, but creates a unwanted false positive warning):



CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

Increase both timeouts for check_ssh and check_logfiles ?

Message-ID: <1274939136.10274.0.camel@mazhost>

Hi every one,

As you expect, i would like to know if it's possible to configure
different access for users.
Users are stored in a LDAP backend.

For example, users from ou=org1,dc=domain,dc=tld could only see the
hostgroup 1
users from ou=org2,dc=domain,dc=tld could see everything.

I already know how to authenticate my users by configuring apache but
don't know how to set acl's/rights ...

I googled a bit and didn't find anything about it.
Just a wishlist :(

Is there a tool or is it possible with apache ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Grifith

Subject: Nagios - To capture apache process list before
	restarting
Message-ID: 

Hi All,

How do you guy's setup your nagios client for remote apache server to get
its httpd process list before doing soft/hard restarting apache service if
it is detected unreachable from nagios server? The following are the summary
of my setup for nagios clients for remote apache server.

[nagios-server]
       cat /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers/restart-httpd-remote
                (SOFT/HARD): /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H
nagios-client -c restart_httpd

[nagios-client]
       cat /etc/nagios/nrpe.conf

  command[restart_httpd]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers/restart-httpd
       cat /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers/restart-httpd
               /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/service httpd restart

I just wanted to know how do you get the apache process list before
triggering to restart which will helpful during diagnostic operation. Do you
used any special plugins or personal script that could insert to
"restart-httpd" file?

Thank you.

Regards,
James

Nagios will, by default, only show hosts and services to those who are 
listed as contacts on those hosts and services. Who is authorized to see 
what is not handled at the Apache level.

It won't talk to LDAP directly; it will only use what is in it's own 
configuration files. You could, however, probably write a script that 
generated contact groups based on who is where in LDAP and added the 
users to those contact groups. Then you'd need to configure those 
contact groups on the appropriate host and service definitions.

Off the top of my head, I think the macro to use is $CONTACTPAGER$,
but I could be mistaken. Check the docs for the exact answer.

Now, I know that I'm not monitoring that many hosts, but I'm not sure
what 'good' performance is. My nagios server had an extremely high load
this morning, and the only service on that box, is nagios.

What type of performance should I reasonably expect from my monitoring

Couldn't it be as straightforward as modifying the restart script on the client to capture it to a file? --

I've taken all your commits and applied them manually onto the current 
Icinga Core (we changed things, Nagios did not, and next to that, I'd 
like to understand what you and Toon hacked there ;-)

Your hackings are very very nice, and it's a real good start in fixing 
things and getting rid of old grown code and workarounds.

This commit is just WOW :-)

http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios.git;a=commit;h=555b4b72aae54e65ba923093ef469c3aa5a0edb9

Regarding taking over commits, kudos have been kept both within commit 
subjects and changelog for our next release including your patches next 
to ours.

 From the testing arena, everything runs fine. Although the sync 
retention feature is only one half of the good, the other would be 
opsview or some nifty hacking on distributed monitoring :) Everything 
else resolves as it should be.


By chance, get these changes into a revamped tar.gz and hand that to 
packagers, if it does not get into current CVS head. Or at least the 
patch set :)

Kind regards,
Michael

Primarily code reduction and simplification. The diffstat between my
dev branch and the upstream master looks like this:
47 files changed, 1563 insertions(+), 4272 deletions(-)

Quite a few bugfixes too ofcourse.

Yup. More can be done so object code only has to be compiled once for
both cgi's and core for quite a small tradeoff in memory usage. This
would mean simpler code and quite a lot simpler build-system, along
with the possibility of installing nagios-devel header files for us
eventmodule hackers.

You have some checks that take a long time - more than 14 seconds for a service check and more than 16 seconds for a host check. You may want to identify which checks take such a long time. It may or may not be the culprit (the reason could be either a lot of processing, or waiting for some kind of timeout) but is probably a good starting point. Also run "top" to see which process is responsible for the load.

Subject: Nagios host flapping on centos 5.4 ?
Message-ID: <13D20E8EEC29BE4092DC1896DC45A91656AC70AE50@NOK-EUMSG-04.mgdnok.nokia.com>

Hi,

I have Nagios installed on Ubuntu 8.04 running on Vmware Vsphere and Centos 5.4 running on IBM hs20 blade.
Both are identical setup and they are checking same servers.

But for some reason in centos almost half of the checked  host are flapping at any given time (40 host to check)
Biggest difference between this environments is that Ubuntu is using Nagios 3.0.6 and centos 3.2.1.

Have any of you noted similar behavior ?

I followed this guide when installing nagios to centos:
http://docs.cslabs.clarkson.edu/wiki/Install_Nagios_on_CentOS_5

And for some reason I can't stop nagios service in the Centos:
/etc/init.d/nagios stop
nagios (pid  2647) is running...
Stopping nagios:                                           [FAILED]

Or restart:
/etc/init.d/nagios restart
Stopping nagios:                                           [FAILED]
Starting nagios:

Restart via nagios.cmd works. Any idea why this is happening ?

Message-ID: 

Hi there,

I noticed that a lot of our mail was ending up in users' junk/spam folder at GMail and it seems that if you send Nagios warning messages to Gmail they somehow assume that your server is malicious and spamming. Is it SOP to use a different SMTP server to deliver Nagios messages?

thanks,

I'd assume you'd have to take that up with GMail. Or check the spam 
filtering settings on the user accounts. I don't use GMail, but I assume 
there are junk spam filtering rules that you can do to classify mail on 
the settings, like all other e-mail clients and services.

Max

Hi!

I use gmail, and get nagios alerts in my gmail account, but I dont remember
having done anything special to prevent nagios alerts ending up in spam.

After a while I set up a filter in the account to label the nagios incoming
mail, just for my comfort.

I dont think gmail lets you customize its spam filtering rules, but it does
let you mark emails in the spam folder as "not spam" emails. i guess that if
you add the sender address to your contacts, they will have less
possibilities to end up there. maybe also if you do a rule as i did for that
incoming mails, but these are just my happy ideas.

Good luck!
Jorge

Hi list,

I am looking for a plugin to check IBM blades and chassis the way
plugins like check_openmanage do from quite some time now. I tried
googling it and browsing NagiosExchange but I didn't find what I'm
looking for. I found plugins to check specific hardware on specific IBM
architecture but nothing really generalistic.

Does anyone have heard about or developed some "check_ibm" plugin ?

Thanks,

GMail doesn't allow you to customize the spam-rules, but it does let you
bypass them. Only mail that's sent to inbox gets checked for spam, so any
filter which also adds "bypass inbox" to its rules will go straight to the
designated folder and never be caught by spamfilters.

Same here.

OP, try checking yourself out on http://www.senderbase.org/.  It's 
likely that your servers ended up on an RBL for something else.

Does your nagios server send the messages to gmail directly, and not through an SMTP relay? If so, are you following all the rules and expectations for it to be a mail server because to gmail, that's exactly what it is.

	- Is the SMTP server on the machine configured to HELO as a valid fully qualified domain name (hostname.yourdomain.com)?
	- Does hostname.yourdomain.com exist in the DNS and point to the outgoing public IP that gmail sees your message originate from?
	- Does that IP address have a reverse DNS entry of hostname.yourdomain.com?

You can answer most of this by looking at the Received: line in any of the messages where your system hands the message off to Google. 

At the very least a RDNS lookup of the IP should show hostname.yourdomain.com and a lookup of hostname.yourdomain.com should result in that same IP.

No, the mail is relayed through our SMTP server.

And the RDNS and everything is fine, and it is even listed as 'Good' in senderbase.

Same here.

OP, try checking yourself out on http://www.senderbase.org/.  It's 
likely that your servers ended up on an RBL for something else.

    We just deployed a new site that requires client certificates so I found a discussion thread on how to make a few changes to the script so that it would use the client certificate that I specified.  I left the original script intact along with all the nagios configs and named this new script webinjectcert.pl.  I wanted 2 separate scripts and configs so that I did not disrupt what I already had running successfully
    The new script works perfectly as long as I run it manually as sudo.  The problem is when I configure it for nagios with the same script, config file, and test case, it returns results that claim it could not log onto the site.  I have enabled debugging in the nagios.cfg, but I just can't see what the problem is.  I looked at the permissions on the new script and certificate to make sure that wasn't it and they look fine.  I am not really sure how to run it as the nagios user since I can't remember what the password is and don't want to make a mess and change it.
    Any ideas? 
    Paul

Subject: Can an entity have more than one parent?
Message-ID: 

All,
   I am monitoring a set of vif behind csm.  I want to control the amount
notifications.  So basic idea is if the host is down don't bother sending
notification for the vif.  So, I fiugure I would just create parent child
relationship with the host serving the page and vif name.  However, one
problem is, all vifs are being served by two hosts.  So I have two
questions.

1)  Can a host have two parents?
2)  What happen if only one of those parents go down?

Please advise on these.  Thanks

Cordially,
Shadhin Rahman

Subject: Access hosts and service for that you are contact
Message-ID: 


Hi all

I have multiple hosts and services that I monitor with Nagios. Each user
must view even the host and services for which there is contact. I defined
in the configuration files hosts and services the contact_groups user. This
works well with the hosts, but if the user requests the service_groups , he
has the following message:

                                                                           
                 Service Overview For All Service Groups                   
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           









It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any
                       of the hosts you requested...
   If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication
                    requirements for accessing this CGI
    and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.

Have anyone resolved this problem ?

Thanks for help

Thanks for the idea but the frame status.cgi has UTF-8 encoding.  Then
again, as I mentioned in my first e-mail, Service section shows UTF-8
characters but Status Information does not and both of them reside on the
same page.

We upgraded to nagios 3.2.1, still no luck.  Perhaps nagios developers could
help with this?

Hi,

I personally use check_dhcpd_leases (
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Network-Protocols/DHCP-and-BOOTP/Check_Dhcpd_Leases/details).
It runs locally, so you nrpe to run it remotely.

A possible alternative would be to enable omshell on the dhcp server and
write a plugin to get info from it. I'm not aware such a plugin already
exists, but I would be happu if proven to be wrong :)

Cheers

Mattia

Message-ID: 

I'm looking for more detailed NagiosQL installation

Right now I have only those:
http://www.nagiosql.org/faq/31-general-documentation/49-documentation-for-nagiosql-2x.html
http://www.berhorst.net/index.php/nagiosmanually (section 6)

I found the installation notes not clear or missing ? well, not for noobs.
I have working and kicking Nagios machine installed on RHE5 distro and I
want to have for the first time NagiosQL installed working with it.
I went through the Nagios installation plus without problem since its well
documented on the net.
if you have can you share some installation notes it would be great.

If a contact should be allowed to view all services in a servicegroup, 
that contact needs to be listed on all services in that group. 
Otherwise, the servicegroup view would be giving that person access to 
services they're not allowed to view.

In other words, it sounds like this error may be normal in your case.
