But how to support the community (e.g. in IRC) by telling them "delete sth in the code and then recompile". This remains a major bug and should be fixed in a release soon. Also within already created packages and so on. In the Opsview repository, a patch for this is accessible, but I think the community wouldn't mind getting the "host checks skipped" bug fixed too within Nagios 3.2.3 - would create a nice release blog post and a bit more focused on development than keeping other issues with more priority as it seems. If you require more test reports (as Tony stated on IRC that Ethan wants that): The fix has been tested and debugged on Icinga Core, same behavior, same bugfix, same successful tests.

Since the fix awaits input from testers we can't very well release it immediately. You've tested it, so that makes one person. If a few more report that it's now working as intended without any downsides we'll probably go ahead and cut a release in the next few days, but releasing untested code that might break something else just to fix a bug isn't really good practice.

In my network I've two kind of servers: .- Single ip server (the same ip is used both for services and snmp server) .- Dual ip server (public ip for the services and private ip for the snmp server) What I try to do is set a default value to the macro $_HOSTIPSNMP$ in the host template .. define host { name linux-server ... _IPSNMP $HOSTADDRESS$ ... } I assumed that all the hosts automatically would set $_HOSTIPSNMP$ with the content of $HOSTADDRESS$ If I can get this working, the second part would be to set on a per-host basis custom values for $_HOSTIPSNMP$, in the style of: define host { use linux-server address 123.123.123.123 _IPSNMP 192.168.1.10 } So $_HOSTIPSNMP$ has always a sane value and I can set it to whatever I want whenever I need. The error I'm facing is this, it seems that the _HOSTIPSNMP doesn't get replaced properly for the variable value, but instead it gets replaced for the variable name. cmd=[/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_storage.pl '-H' 'HOSTADDRESS' '-C' 'comunity' '-m' '/' '-w' '80%' '-c' '85%'] output=[ERROR: Unable to resolve UDP/IPv4 address 'HOSTADDRESS'.

Untrue for package upgrades and similar upgrade paths. Main problem targets the fact that the error reports differ in various ways. Only a developer might get the idea what did change, but if I were just an user with daily business I would spend a lot of time checking on possible errors.

It uses several files. /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log is the 'current' data for this log rotation period. /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/* are the historical logs, one for each previous log rotation period. Nagios does not remove these files. They're kept indefinitely until you remove them.* Nagios uses them to generate all the historical reports. The current web interface only allows you to go back to the previous year, even if older archived log files are available. There'd be nothing stopping you from using those to generate your own reporting. -- Marc * If you do remove them, rename them, gzip them or modify them in any way nagios will be unable to use them for reporting purposes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ 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 lomiz.mail at gmail.com Fri Oct 1 15:34:39 2010 From: lomiz.mail at gmail.com (Enrico Zimol) Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2010 15:34:39 +0200 Subject: How long Nagios keep memorized status and change status informations?

The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions. An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing. This is clearly a permission issue as when I manually change the permissions of the /rw/nagios.cmd to 777 for example, it works fine. When the service is restarted and the pipe is recreated though, the permissions are re-set. I am running the nginx web server, not apache. SELinux is disabled. The rw directory has 777 permissions and is owned by the nagios user and group. The Nginx server runs under a different user / group and this could be the issue.

You could edit the "start()" function to have an explicit "chgrp" on the command-pipe to whatever group you need for your setup (after the daemon has been started of course so the command-pipe file exists). We use "chgrp apache /var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd". It's a bit of a kludge but it works! Another possibility is that your setup is just fine but the nagcmd group (of which both the apache and nagios users should be a member) was created after your apache process was already running. In this case you just need to restart apache so it can pick up its new group permissions. -f On Sun, 3 Oct 2010, Ilan Berkner wrote: > Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2010 02:55:25 -0400 > From: Ilan Berkner > Reply-To: Nagios Users List > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios.cmd permission issue > > Hi, > New to Nagios... > > Got everything pretty much running, except when I try to modify things using the web interface, > I get this error: > > Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update! > > The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect.

I also noticed that there were other nagios processes running at the same time that should have been previously killed but were not so that may also have been a contributing factor. I've now normalized all of the web processes with the same user: 1. Nginx 2. PHP 3. FCGIWrapper 4. Nagios service and the problem seems to be resolved. Thanks to everyone for their support, suggestions and help.

You could edit the "start()" function to have an explicit "chgrp" on the command-pipe to whatever group you need for your setup (after the daemon has been started of course so the command-pipe file exists). We use "chgrp apache /var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd". It's a bit of a kludge but it works! Another possibility is that your setup is just fine but the nagcmd group (of which both the apache and nagios users should be a member) was created after your apache process was already running. In this case you just need to restart apache so it can pick up its new group permissions. -f On Sun, 3 Oct 2010, Ilan Berkner wrote: > Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2010 02:55:25 -0400 > From: Ilan Berkner > Reply-To: Nagios Users List > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios.cmd permission issue > > Hi, > New to Nagios... > > Got everything pretty much running, except when I try to modify things using the web interface, > I get this error: > > Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for update! > > The permissions on the external command file and/or directory may be incorrect.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi All, Turns out that the FCGI wrapper process was running under a different user than both the web server and nagios and although CGI scripts were running, that may have contributed to the problem. I also noticed that there were other nagios processes running at the same time that should have been previously killed but were not so that may also have been a contributing factor. I've now normalized all of the web processes with the same user: 1. Nginx 2. PHP 3. FCGIWrapper 4. Nagios service and the problem seems to be resolved. Thanks to everyone for their support, suggestions and help.

Nagios requires that it be a unix timestamp in order for the reporting to work.

Specifically the subject line of the email message needs to be different for host down than for host up. The only way I could think of to do this was to create two separate contacts, one for down notifications tied to a host notification command called notify-host-by-email-down and a separate contact for ups called notify-host-by-email-up. Of course, Nagios is too smart for this and declines to send host return to up status messages to contacts that did not receive a down message in the first place. Does anyone have another solution for this, where I would be able to send different notification commands for host down and host recovery?

The notification commands are just references to scripts. The default/example one is just a big one-liner script. There's no reason you couldn't create your own notification script in your favorite $language that implements your subject logic based on status and sends the e-mail just as nagios does. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.

Has anybody got a plugin that actually does that? Or knows a simple way to extend the given plugin so that it offers this functionality? As it is, I must assume that it can take all time it wants to complete the login, completely defeating the purpose...

Message-ID: Im looking for a way to allow remote access to Nagios based on specific clients (contacts) in Nagios without using http authentication The remote access is being displayed in another site using tags I don't however want them to have access to any data not relating to their specific servers. So for example: http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.c om.au &style=detail is what I would like to load but the cgis can only show the data relating to the contacts servers. In Firefox and Chrome I can pass authentication thru the browser via http://user:pass@ but this isn't allowed in IE, and isn't ideal or secure anyway. Is there a way to pass the contact variable thru to the browser ie http://www.domain.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=server1.clientsdomain.c om.au &style=detail&contact=xyz so that while the user isn't given a popup login box they are still restricted to only seeing data relating to their server or servers I have hunted high and low for a way around this and have had no luck so far..

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20101007113849.GL6480@openfusion.com.au> Hi Steve, I don't think you can do this at the nagios level, because nagios just uses standard webserver authentication, deferring to apache (or whatever). So what you need to figure out is a way to hook your credentials into some apache (if that's what you're using?) authentication module. If you're really just wanting the nagios webserver to trust your 'contact' parameter and use that (which obviously is *completely* insecure/hackable etc.), you should just be able to write a trivial apache module in C or perl to do just that. Or you pass the password as well, and actually authenticate each time (i.e. basic authentication, but without the popup). Or you look at a ticket-based SSO-type approach (like my mod_auth_tkt, or mod_auth_cas, or similar). Any of these work fine with nagios.

Probably the best place to start is: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart.html I won't even try to tell you which version is better. Personally I use Nagios Core with PNP4Nagios for graphing, NagVis for dashboards and a few other neat add-ons. If you find it hard going understanding Nagios, I recommend the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth published by No Starch Press. ... and of course ask in here if you get stuck. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.

Check the check_ping command and you will see %HOSTADDRESS% as the argument to it. I thought you had to explicitly enable DNS lookups in the main nagios configuration section though. May want to check on that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.

There are no obvious performance bottlenecks on our sever the closest thing to it for us was the CPU's ave of around 30% utilization across 4 procs with 4 GB of RAM.

The easiest way is to use the pre-prepared VMware image available on http://library.nagios.com/library/products/nagiosxi/download .

We took it a step further and put all hosts in a single group then globbed it as you did above: define serviceescalation{ hostgroup_name allhosts service_description .* contacts foo,foo2 first_notification 1 last_notification 1 notification_interval 1 escalation_options w,u,c } define hostgroup { hostgroup_name allhosts alias allhosts members .* } use_regexp_matching=1 I think that's all you need to enable globbing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.

It isn't. It is perhaps a good compromise if you don't want to give your user and password to a foreign website in order to have it do things on your behalf but for local applications it actually *reduces* security by imposing a more complicated method than http basic auth via https (BTW, you should use https with basic auth always, and not http as you have) full weird workflows. I suggest the following: 1) create an account in https://identi.ca/ (a Free Software social network) 2) use your command with the following difference in the url: https://identi.ca/api/statuses/update.json (they have a compatible api).

Thanks for this example. I'm trying to do something similar with an allhosts hostgroup definition and it doesn't seem to work unless all hosts in the allhosts group also have services defined for them. In this case I get an error like Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'AXSP51' and description '.*' (config file '/vol/omni/nagios-3.2.1/config/test/objects/contacts/Contacts.cfg', starting on line 74) Error: Could not expand services specified in service escalation (config file '/vol/omni/nagios-3.2.1/config/test/objects/contacts/Contacts.cfg', starting on line 74) AXSP51 has no services defined for it, but I monitor it as a parent for hosts that do. Do I need to maintain a host group to use instead of allhosts just for the hosts that have services defined for them, or is there a more convenient (i.e., less error prone) way around this?

I had to dig up the link for the script I use for scheduling downtime remotely. Anyways, if you know your backup times are always the same, or always the same window, I'd just use a cron job to run this nagios_downtime script written in Perl. http://nagios.larsmichelsen.com/nagios-downtime/ Regards, Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.

Check/notification schedules, but if you find a way to drop a host into maintenance mode programmatically, post back! I have wanted to know how to do this.

We run Nagios 3 on an Ubuntu box and I'm looking for a way to stop Nagios falsely reporting services/hosts as down/unknown if, for example, the network cable was pulled out of the server / the card failed. This has happened recently for over an hour and now all hosts/services have a false hours downtime. I'm not too bothered, but I like to try and keep things as neat as possible. Does anyone know of a way of preventing this? All I can think is some way of detecting when the server has lost network and then automatically quitting / disabling Nagios? Thanks in advance.

This is pretty much the entire point of Nagios, that is to report when something has failed. If you're intentionally taking down the network on the host, then I would suggest scheduling downtime for that host if you or others know you're going to take it down for a period of time, otherwise, Nagios is doing it's job.

Although I agree with Max, perhaps making all services dependent on a check for the NIC working would convert that period during which the NIC fails into different state.

I just setup backup exec to send SNMP traps to my monitoring server. The processed trap then interfaces with my Opsview install to update a check. You should be able to do something similar so that when the "Job Started" trap is received the state changes on a dependant check and stops then when a JobSuccess, JobCompleteExceptions, JobFailured, JobCancelled trap is received the state turns back to OK and you can continue monitoring. I don't know about other backup softwares however this could be helpful, The other option would be to have a check to see if the ntbackup/relevant .exe file is running using the NSClient agent and then if it is change state this way? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Keane [mailto:subscription at kkeane.com] Sent: 12 October 2010 17:11 To: Nagios Users List Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Detecting Windows Backups?

Mostly this is working except for enabling pop-ups which requires the use of a custom header file. I have followed the instructions on the Nagiosgraph site (http://nagiosgraph.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nagiosgraph/trunk/nagiosgraph/INSTALL) to no avail. I can see no evidence that the common-header.ssi file is being read or its contents are being served. There are no errors the the apache error log and I can't find a nagios error log. [update] I saved the output of status.cgi and pasted the contents of common-header.ssi into it below the body tag and put it on the nagios server. When server to a web browser it looked and worked perfectly. I'm pretty sure this means that nagios is not looking for its ssi directory at /usr/local/www/nagios/ssi The path to the ssi file is: /usr/local/www/nagios/ssi/common-header.ssi Can anyone tell be how to find out where nagios is really looking for the ssi files?

I don't but searching my archives shows that it's been done successfully before (nagios-3) and that there may be a pre-compiled version of the plugins for cygwin.

Message-ID: We have a large number of XP Virtual Machines that are used for various software testing requirements. The testers are supposed to notify their supervisor when an XP instance is no longer required. Unfortunately that isn't working very well. The end result is that there are a large number of XP instances sitting doing nothing for long periods of time. Ideally, I'd love to receive a notification in the event that any XP instance hasn't been used for x period of time. As the machines are accessed by the testers solely via RDP, I was thinking that if I could determine how long it had been since someone had logged into the machine I would be able to judge which machines had been abandoned and remove them. I was mulling over using a WMI check to pull what I need from Win32_NetworkLoginProfile but I'm not getting anything returned that I know how to make use of. Has anyone had a need to perform a check like this in the past or can anyone offer any advice as to where else I should start looking?

Everything is using nsca-2.7.2. I added a new collector recently and it's not able to get data into the central nagios system via nsca. I recompiled the send_nsca client with the DEBUG flag enabled and get this output, which looks good: Connected okay... Got init packet from server Initialized encryption routines Done sending data 1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully. Cleaned up encryption routines On the central server, the xinetd logs look like the packets are being accepted: 10/10/13 at 11:01:29: START: nsca from= 10/10/13 at 11:01:29: EXIT: nsca status=0 But then nothing seems to show up the nsca log. All the other collector's data logs in the nsca log very nicely. Where should I look to debug my problem?

I have very limited knowledge of all this tools and availability, so I need experts help on this. Here are the steps that I went thru: I installed Nagios in one of my Linux server. In the same machine but different directory I Installed Nconf to add about 70 hosts with about five services for each hosts. I have to add about 200 more hosts. I used CSV (comma-separated values) file to store the data. Now, I need graph so I installed Nagiosgraph and I am trying to make it work since last two weeks, but it is not working. When I reload nagios, it runs fine and I see the icon to brows to the graph, but when I click on it, I get following error: (Server error! The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script. ) If you think I didn't select right tool to add hosts and for graph, what is better tools to add bunch of servers and to get the graphs. I also have some switches to monitor too. Thanks Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Do these virtual machines have to run 24/7? If not, you could automatically shut them down at 2 AM - either from your hypervisor, or with the shutdown.exe command. When you do that, you could leave the VMs simply sitting there taking up disk space, or you can check the file date of the .VMDK file for that VM. By the way, some vendors have yet another solution that might work for you. Has nothing to do with Nagios. You can auto-create virtual machines as needed. Basically, you just create one template XP VM image. Only when a user logs on, this template is cloned. When the user logs off, the clone is destroyed. The next time the same user logs on, he gets a completely fresh virgin copy of XP. Citrix has something like this, and I believe Microsoft also is working on offering something similar. I'm sure VMWare does, too, but I haven't heard anything specific about it. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Davison [mailto:kdavison at innosphere.ca] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 2:02 PM To: Nagios Users List Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] How to determine the login duration of current user?

Some people are just so difficult to please! I don't think there's anything in Nagios itself which will do that for you. I would set up a different notification command which writes all out of hours notifications overnight to a file, then have an ordinary cron job which runs first thing each morning and sends the SMS message (or sends a passive check to Nagios so it can send the message) if there is anything in that file. Alternatively, if you run NDO then you could script a plugin which runs from cron each morning and does a query of the nagios MySQL database to see if there were any notifications out of hours... cheers, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.

Is an entry made in one of the Windows Event Logs whenever a user logs in? If so I guess you could use CheckEventLog in NSClient++ to warn if there have been no logins in x days.

This statement is not accurate, at least not in our locale. While VDI *does* require a separate license, it will run just fine on existing ESX infrastructure and does not have to be on a separate, "special" ESX host. We have many virtual desktops and some of them are intermingled with our virtual servers.

Then, you can check the service freshness against a 1 or 2 days threshold. It's a completely different approach, but I prefer to use passive checks when I need to trigger user created events, as I think it makes more sense (and less load and traffic) than checking continously the logs.

There's another solution: you could setup a logon script that sends an nsca every time a user login to the server. Then, you can check the service freshness against a 1 or 2 days threshold. It's a completely different approach, but I prefer to use passive checks when I need to trigger user created events, as I think it makes more sense (and less load and traffic) than checking continously the logs.

We're using Nagios and PNP4Nagios to get trending and graphs. I have two clients in the same hostgroup. The hostgroup name is "linux-servers". Members are "osiris1" and "imhotep". I'm using NRPE to check each. Relevant config files are below. In a nutshell, I'm getting disk graphs for Osiris1, but not for Imhotep and I can't figure out why. To clarify... the disk graphs are there for both. However, for host Osiris1 they are populated with data. But for host Imhotep they are blank (not non-existent, existent, but blank/empty). Checking manually at the command line of the Nagios server shows the pipe and the subsequent data (tests at bottm of email). I could understand if was monitoring the hosts individually and had a typo in a config for one, but I'm monitoring them as a hostgroup and command line tests work, but one is giving graphs with results and the other blank graphs.

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

We're using Nagios 3.2.1. Startup times seemed to be in the vicinity of 4 minutes. During that time Nagios chews up 100% of one CPU core and eventually 2 CPU cores, then settles down. I assumed it was time for me to investigate the fast-startup options and deal with at least the dependency checking. Note that this host in question is the "central" node in a distributed setup so virtually everything it gets is a passive check result. When I tried starting with '-s', I found that the first block (Object Config Processing Times) went very quickly and then it hung on the second block (Retention Data Times) ran for a while as indicated. Everything else after that seemed to go fairly quickly to my surprise. So apparently, my problem is with retained data. My relevant nagios.cfg entries are as follows: retain_state_information=1 retention_update_interval=60 use_retained_program_state=1 use_retained_scheduling_info=1 retained_host_attribute_mask=0 retained_service_attribute_mask=0 retained_process_host_attribute_mask=0 retained_process_service_attribute_mask=0 retained_contact_host_attribute_mask=0 retained_contact_service_attribute_mask=0 So we definitely want to make use of historical data. I see in the config file comment that using retained state may come at the cost of increased startup times. None of the speedup options I see seem to say that they try to help startup time with retained status. Am I stuck? Do I either need to live with the 194-second processing time (and that will go up as we add more hosts/services over time) or do without retained data? nagios -s output: Object Config Source: Config files (uncached) OBJECT CONFIG PROCESSING TIMES (* = Potential for precache savings with -u option) ---------------------------------- Read: 0.042305 sec Resolve: 0.008222 sec * Recomb Contactgroups: 0.002196 sec * Recomb Hostgroups: 0.006549 sec * Dup Services: 0.026616 sec * Recomb Servicegroups: 0.289033 sec * Duplicate: 0.012538 sec * Inherit: 0.005349 sec * Recomb Contacts: 0.000000 sec * Sort: 0.000001 sec * Register: 0.076975 sec Free: 0.008261 sec ============ TOTAL: 0.478046 sec * = 0.350505 sec (73.32%) estimated savings RETENTION DATA TIMES ---------------------------------- Read and Process: 194.016362 sec ============ TOTAL: 194.016362 sec Timing information on configuration verification is listed below.

If you use wildcards on hosts every host has to have a service associated with it otherwise the configuration does not validate. Example define serviceescalation{ host_name .* service_description .* first_notification 1 last_notification 99 notification_interval 60 contact_groups admins escalation_period 24x7 escalation_options w,u,c,r } Causes Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'pix' and description '.*' I got round that by creating a dummy service for items like firewalls and routers which have no service as below. define service{ use generic-service # Hostname of remote system host_name pix service_description dummy is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 check_command check-dummy } Now I am trying to use wildcards on the service names within the escalations, the validation fails on any host that does not have a service that matches the wildcard. define serviceescalation{ host_name .* service_description .*Bandwidth.* first_notification 2 last_notification 2 notification_interval 60 contact_groups support escalation_period 24x7 escalation_options w,u,c,r } Causes Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'pix' and description '.*Bandwidth.* Why when a wildcard is in use should every host have to have a service and every host have to have a service matching the wildcard? It makes no sense (to me at least). Is this a bug or is it designed to work this way? Is there any way to turn off these checks as they appear to me at least incorrect and pointless?

The "Up" and "Down" status you see on the diagram apply to hosts, not services. (So Chat and Staff must be hosts.)

We have the appropriate config options to use regex, and it works just fine for the members directive - ie. "members .*" expands just as we'd expect. But "hostgroup_members .*" returns an error along the lines of "Could not find member group '.*' specified in hostgroup....", leading us to believe that Nagios is simply ignoring regex matching for the hostgroup_members directive. Anyone know if we're off our rockers, or if Nagios really does handle things this way?

Pls verify my cfg file in > /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/retpro.cfg Monitoring remote services like HTTP, SSH, and the likes are covered in the manual, and there is probably already a sample setup in the default configs with CentOS: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-publicservices.html But basically, it'll most likely look something like this: define service { use generic-service host_name retpro service_description HTTP check_command check_http } If you're looking to monitor a specific page loads, you may need to create a new command, something like this: define command { command_name check_http_url command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$ } define service { {usual service stuff} check_command check_http_url!/testpage.php } > define service{ > use generic-service > host_name retpro > service_description Root Partition > check_command check_local_disk!20%!10%!/ > } As Robert Wolfe pointed out, this command is probably not doing what you think it is. check_local_disk will most likely be doing disk checks against the server running nagios, making this a duplicate of a monitor you may already have in place. You will need to use something like NRPE, or check_by_ssh to check remote hosts. Your services for those real checks will likely look something like: define service { use generic-service host_name retpro service_description root partition check_command check_nrpe!check_disk!20!10 } This assumes a check_nrpe command has been defined. -- Jonathan Angliss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From jon at netdork.net Thu Oct 21 07:34:14 2010 From: jon at netdork.net (Jonathan Angliss) Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 00:34:14 -0500 Subject: Error: Socket Timeout after 10 seconds | Using Sun Sparc as Nagios Client In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4CBFD0D6.5030704@netdork.net> On 10/21/10 00:22, Himanshu Arora wrote: > Hi Folks, > > Using Sun Sparc 10.5 as a Nagios Client and CentOS 5 on Server side and > can telnet the client from server and server from client on port 5666. > Installed NRPE 1.9 on sparc machine and running it via daemon, able to > get the nrpe response locally on sparc machine but when i try to get > response at server from the client by running ./check_nrpe -H > it gives me *"CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after > 10 seconds"* > > Just an FYI, i have openssl-1.0.0a-sol10-sparc-local installed on my > sparc machine and have no issues running NRPE locally. > > Have no idea what m i doing wrong so far... would need your help knowing > what could be reason of this error message.

A good start, for sure but I'm a bit more paranoid than that from experience.

My goal will be to create a service dependency of all services checked via nrpe (like check disk) dependent of nrpe on same host without having to define one service dependency for each host. I found ( by google ) this fantastic link where there is a great patch but it is for nagios 3.0.6 and xdata/xodtemplate.c was changed and not "patch-able" : http://markmail.org/message/uuvfhlddnezotudy#query:+page:1+mid:v6jqqb4njbinj4ta+state:results After reading http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html#servicedependency : "If you want to create service dependencies for multiple services that are dependent on services on the same host, leave the dependent_host_name and dependent_hostgroup_name directives empty." I tried to write this configuration : define servicedependency{ hostgroup_name backoffice service_description NRPE dependent_service_description DISK execution_failure_criteria w,u,c notification_failure_criteria w,u,c } but if one NRPE of any host in host group go down every disk of every host in host group will not be checked Do you have any suggestion to help me ?

In Opsview, you set the dependency at the service check level and it generates all the service dependencies automatically (screencast at http://bit.ly/c8EiW1 ) But your patch would make it easier for all Nagios users. I'll make you a deal: if you can provide a test case which includes this service dependency configuration and the expected object.cache file, I'll apply this to CVS.

Hi Benny, Thanks for reporting this. The error is related to the vendor of physical disks as reported by omreport. What does 'omreport storage pdisk controller=0' say? I'm guessing that the Vendor field is empty or missing for one of the disks. Finding the root cause would be interesting. Can you tell if the disk in question is an original disk supplied by Dell? If it isn't, this could be the reason that the vendor field is empty/missing, i.e. Openmanage doesn't recognize it. If it is a Dell drive, we're probably dealing with a rare Openmanage oddity. In any case, check_openmanage should handle this situation more gracefully. I'll provide a patched version for you to test on Monday. Cheers, -- Trond H.

Ah.. it makes sense that in some circumstances, if the disk is sufficiently bad, Openmanage can't report the vendor. I went ahead and patched this in the plugin. There is a beta version (win32 binary) available here: http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/beta/check_openmanage.exe Please give it a try and let me know if it resolved this issue.

That is for one of several reasons, Nagios is not able to run checks when it thinks it should. You can see this information and other stats by looking at the Performance item near the bottom of the Nav pane in the Nagios web interface. You can also run, if memory serves, the "nagiostats" command located in your Nagios "bin" directory to see this information as well. I actually use that nagiostats data in a custom check and graph a lot of those latencies and other Nagios performance related info. >From my own experience, I found that I did not pay attention to this information when I started using Nagios, then read about it, made a few tweaks to make it better then forgot about it. Then as our installation grew and grew, I found that some things got worse again and I had to consider different tuning options. I would recommend that you first read the "Tuning Nagios For Maximum Performance" section of the docs: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/tuning.html If nothing else, this will give you an idea of some things that can affect latencies. Additionally, you may find that you see your average latencies, but then see something with a whopping huge max latency. It can be hard to track down what that is in the UI. I've just looked up that max latency and then quickly looked in the status.dat file to find the service that had that same matching latency and dug into that. You could, for example, have a few checks that aren't really timing out so the check may take 10 minutes or more to complete which would really screw up your overall latencies. Like the checks wouldn't have finished before the next time they were supposed to be run.

You could, for example, have a few checks that aren't really timing out so the check may take 10 minutes or more to complete which would really screw up your overall latencies. Like the checks wouldn't have finished before the next time they were supposed to be run. > > Mark > > ________________________________________ > From: Litwin, Matthew [mlitwin at stubhub.com] > Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 8:29 PM > To: nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] Scheduled checks falling far behind > > I have been chasing my tail trying to figure out why my RRD files were very sparsely populated, and I am realizing that my checks are falling behind of their scheduled times up to 3 times their set check interval.

That is for one of several reasons, Nagios is not able to run checks when it thinks it should. You can see this information and other stats by looking at the Performance item near the bottom of the Nav pane in the Nagios web interface. Hi Mark, I have set up MRTG to track nagios performace and it is reporting that latency for host and service checks are next to nothing and service execution time is just under 400 ms, however, host checks are coming back at around 4 seconds. Based on the samples that are in the MRTG section of the tuning guide, my stats would indicate that service execution times are fine, but that host execution checks are high. nagiostat says this, and if I am reading it right, it contradicts what MRTG is report: Nagios Stats 3.2.1 Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Ethan Galstad (www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 03-09-2010 License: GPL CURRENT STATUS DATA ------------------------------------------------------ Status File: /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat Status File Age: 0d 0h 0m 21s Status File Version: 3.2.1 Program Running Time: 0d 5h 40m 15s Nagios PID: 5828 Used/High/Total Command Buffers: 0 / 0 / 4096 Total Services: 4987 Services Checked: 4987 Services Scheduled: 4970 Services Actively Checked: 4987 Services Passively Checked: 0 Total Service State Change: 0.000 / 5.860 / 0.001 % Active Service Latency: 0.236 / 477.406 / 458.101 sec Active Service Execution Time: 0.013 / 12.393 / 0.377 sec Active Service State Change: 0.000 / 5.860 / 0.001 % Active Services Last 1/5/15/60 min: 195 / 1799 / 4970 / 4970 Passive Service Latency: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 sec Passive Service State Change: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 % Passive Services Last 1/5/15/60 min: 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 Services Ok/Warn/Unk/Crit: 4971 / 10 / 1 / 5 Services Flapping: 0 Services In Downtime: 0 Total Hosts: 241 Hosts Checked: 241 Hosts Scheduled: 241 Hosts Actively Checked: 241 Host Passively Checked: 0 Total Host State Change: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 % Active Host Latency: 444.598 / 469.511 / 455.625 sec Active Host Execution Time: 0.152 / 4.045 / 3.779 sec Active Host State Change: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 % Active Hosts Last 1/5/15/60 min: 8 / 19 / 241 / 241 Passive Host Latency: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 sec Passive Host State Change: 0.000 / 0.000 / 0.000 % Passive Hosts Last 1/5/15/60 min: 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 Hosts Up/Down/Unreach: 241 / 0 / 0 Hosts Flapping: 0 Hosts In Downtime: 0 Active Host Checks Last 1/5/15 min: 8 / 38 / 267 Scheduled: 8 / 33 / 249 On-demand: 0 / 5 / 18 Parallel: 8 / 33 / 249 Serial: 0 / 0 / 0 Cached: 0 / 5 / 18 Passive Host Checks Last 1/5/15 min: 0 / 0 / 0 Active Service Checks Last 1/5/15 min: 332 / 1949 / 5883 Scheduled: 332 / 1949 / 5883 On-demand: 0 / 0 / 0 Cached: 0 / 0 / 0 Passive Service Checks Last 1/5/15 min: 0 / 0 / 0 External Commands Last 1/5/15 min: 0 / 0 / 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From mgagne at iweb.com Sun Oct 24 01:07:42 2010 From: mgagne at iweb.com (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Mathieu_Gagn=E9?=) Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2010 19:07:42 -0400 Subject: Scheduled checks falling far behind In-Reply-To: References: <213E0EC97FE58F469BB618245B3118BB549362BE68@DEN-MEXMS-001.corp.ebay.com> Message-ID: <4CC36ABD.3020208@iweb.com> On 2010-10-23 18:31, Litwin, Matthew wrote: > > I have set up MRTG to track nagios performace and it is reporting that latency for host and service checks are next to nothing and service execution time is just under 400 ms, however, host checks are coming back at around 4 seconds.

At this point I have only been working with check_reaper_frequency and max_check_result_reaper_time by doubling and halving them from their default values. max_concurrent_checks remains at 0. Load on the server is very low. The machine is a 8 core machine so I really wish I could make better use of it. Load is a measly 1.5 on average. Finally, I tried enable_environment_macros = 0 which actually made it worse, once things quiesced after startup. use_large_installation_tweaks=1 did improve the latency by maybe %30 and I did actually start seeing RRD data come in solid for about 15 minutes but then it returned to being sparse again so while a modest improvement, it still doesn't fill RRD data to have useful data. Any other tuning suggestions? I think I have done everything in the performance tweaks section that seems relevant, including all of those that have been suggested here. In summary, I am looking for some way to make nagios "do more" with the system resources as the host is barely working at all. I really wish there was some way to just make nagios to have some ability to do things more in parallel for cases where a system has plenty of horsepower and RAM. If I have to resort to compiling things with different settings I would be open to trying it, but I just feel like I am grasping at straws now.

Your MUA seems to not wrap lines at all though, which makes replying inline a bit tricky. Note that you should wipe your status.sav files between restarts to not let old latency affect the numbers you're seeing. What system are you running this on? Nagios has been known to have issues with older non-linux systems where thread libraries aren't as forgiving as the nptl library shipped with glibc. Also, Nagios should never run as a virtual guest. As for the check_result_reaper_frequency things, we ship those unset so they take the Nagios defaults. We used to have it at 2. I'm unsure if removing the setting was a conscious choice or just by accident. In general, you should keep your performance-data and checkresult files on ramdisks.

That will make Nagios try to run the checks one at a time, which obviously doesn't work too well. If that's the case, you should have a latency that corresponds to the amount of checks you're running times the average check execution time minus the normal check-interval. In other words; If you've got 900 checks in total, the average check execution time is 1 second and you plan to run all checks in a 5 minute interval (300 secs), you should get a latency of roughly 600 seconds. If you've got it set for a few checks, Nagios will still fail to run any other checks during the time the unparallelizeable check runs, but it doesn't check if such checks are scheduled at the same time as other checks when it schedules them, so latency will always be a bit higher when not all checks are run in parallel. > In summary, I am looking for some way to make nagios "do more" with > the system resources as the host is barely working at all.

If so, which ones and what happens when you disable them? What happens when you disable performance-data parsing and writing? Is the system running as a virtual guest? Do you have any checks with a check_interval that differs wildly from the average check_interval? A while back there was a bug that caused Nagios to spread the first service-check in a window as big as the largest check_interval. Once all checks had been executed, latency slowly normalized again. This doesn't seem to match what you're describing, but it could be a similar bug somewhere else. Using the same check_interval for all hosts and services should tell if that's the case. -- 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From mlitwin at stubhub.com Mon Oct 25 01:19:33 2010 From: mlitwin at stubhub.com (Litwin, Matthew) Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2010 17:19:33 -0600 Subject: Scheduled checks falling far behind In-Reply-To: <4CC4ACF5.70004@op5.se> References: <213E0EC97FE58F469BB618245B3118BB549362BE68@DEN-MEXMS-001.corp.ebay.com> <4CC36ABD.3020208@iweb.com> <4CC473DE.7090502@iweb.com> <22473227-07BE-448F-A5EB-A3F959E108AC@stubhub.com> <4CC4ACF5.70004@op5.se> Message-ID: On Oct 24, 2010, at 3:02 PM, Andreas Ericsson wrote: > On 10/24/2010 10:14 PM, Litwin, Matthew wrote: >> Hi Matthieu (and anyone else who might want to throw their hat into >> the ring): >> > > I'll chip in.

You can define a timeperiod called for example "backup-outage" like this : define timeperiod{ timeperiod_name backup-outage alias Skip backup time period sunday 02:00-24:00 monday 02:00-24:00 tuesday 02:00-24:00 wednesday 02:00-24:00 thursday 02:00-24:00 friday 02:00-24:00 saturday 02:00-24:00 } and you can use it in your check_service in check_period property if you not want to run the check while backup is running or in your contact in service_notification_period property if you not want just to be notified for events Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From schneemann at b1-systems.de Mon Oct 25 10:26:27 2010 From: schneemann at b1-systems.de (Christian Schneemann) Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 10:26:27 +0200 Subject: Monitoring scheduling In-Reply-To: <4CC5311B.5040602@eurofmc.com> References: <4CC5311B.5040602@eurofmc.com> Message-ID: <201010251026.27870.schneemann@b1-systems.de> Hi, On Monday, October 25, 2010 09:26:19 Network Operation Center FMC Luxemburg wrote: > Dear List, > > Is there a way to scheduling a control ? > > I.e : I've a server there is down from 00:00 to 02:00 (for backup > operation) but during this time interval I would not receive alarms... > Because this is "normal" down service... > > Any idea ? if it is the default you can take a timeperiod representing this.

That's right. You should be able to test the instant client is working by running sqlplus and querying a database. Your DBA can help you with that.

Make sure it's a passive check: active_checks_enabled 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 Check whether a fresh check has been received recently: check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 93600 Run this this if not fresh: check_command no-backup-report In this case, instead of a normal check command, you have a command defined which will always give you a non-ok warning: define command{ command_name no-backup-report command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dummy 2 "CRITICAL: Results of backup job were not reported!" } Note the check_dummy plugin takes two arguments - the exit code you want it to return (0=ok, 1=warning, 2=critical, 3=unknown) and the check result text you want Nagios to display.

For your local test, you're running check_multi as 'root', which has permission to access sendmail's queue, whereas when nagios does it, it's being run as the 'nagios' user, which does not have access? Your likely best course of action is change check_mailq to use sudo when calling /usr/bin/mailq and configure sudo to permit it. Google has quite a bit of info on 'nagios check_mailq permissions' but this page looks useful to you -- http://www.rickwargo.com/category/nagios/ Note also that you'll need to set '!requiretty' in sudoers as well. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From jwellband at gmail.com Wed Oct 27 13:39:04 2010 From: jwellband at gmail.com (Jason W.)

I have any hosts with a first_notification_delay?of 60 minutes. Question 1: If a host goes in hard critical state I know that nagios waits 60 minutes to send the notification CRITICAL, but , What happens if host RECOVERS before the first_notification_delay? It send the RECOVERY notification or not? I have 7x24 monitoring Nagios about the same hosts. It's useful because I can know if they are turned on during the night. But for me is very important that those hosts must be turned on from 10 to 22 during the day. I have configured a Notification Period to 10:00-22:00. Question2: if a host goes to CRITICAL STATE at 21:59 Nagios will wait 60 minutes to send me a notification but, will Nagios wait until the to 10 of the day after to send the notification? If host Recovers at 9:00 in the morning of the day after, nagios will cancel the CRITICAL/RECOVERY notifications messages? Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks, I had actually been running the test as nagios as well but probably copied and pasted whatever was last in my terminal.

We are interested in having our changes made available to the community as well, so we wanted to get feedback from the community before we submit the proposal. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks. Nagios Enhancement Proposal Overview Currently, there are two primary ways to add individual physical ports for a port-based device. Each method has both advantages and disadvantages, but neither fully satisfies the needs of Lafayette and, likely, other institutions. Service-based Ports The first method is to treat ports as a service of a host and add them as service entries. The following configuration snippet demonstrates this : define host { use cisco-switch-standard host_name switch.lafayette.edu address 192.168.0.100 hostgroups cisco-switch-standard parents router.lafayette.edu } define service { use service-standard hosts switch.lafayette.edu servicegroups cisco-switch-standard service_description Switch Port Gi1/0/1 check_command check_snmp_traffic!-N Gi1/0/1!-C $USER2$ } In short, this configuration defines a host and then a service for that host which is, essentially, an snmp check that monitors the traffic on a specific port. Advantages * Cleanly links a port to a switch * Somewhat easy to add/remove specific hosts that need that port monitored Disadvantages * Parent/child relationships are difficult, if not impossible, to define * Making service changes for a single port requires creating a unique new service * Service descriptions can get a bit long when they need to have a meaningful description associated with them * Ports with associated addresses are more difficult to define Host-based Ports Another method to accomplish this is to create a ?fake? host entry for each port and then assign services to those ports for monitoring. The following configuration snippet demonstrates this : define host { use cisco-switch-standard host_name switch.lafayette.edu address 192.168.0.100 hostgroups cisco-switch-standard parents router.lafayette.edu } define host { use cisco-switch-standard host_name switch-g1-0-1.lafayette.edu address 192.168.0.100 hostgroups cisco-switch-standard _PORT Gi1/0/1 parents switch.lafayette.edu } define service { use service-standard hosts switch.lafayette.edu servicegroups cisco-switch-standard service_description Port Traffic check_command check_snmp_traffic!-N $_HOSTPORT$!-C $USER2$ } This configuration defines two hosts, a switch and a port on that switch, and then a service linked to the port. Advantages * Parent/child relationships work as expected * A single service entry can be used for many port entries * Very easy to deal with address-assigned ports such as router interfaces Disadvantages * Every port on every switch has to be defined * Port host_name entries are often fake * Port address entries are often duplicated Proposed Solution host-port object define host { use cisco-switch-standard host_name switch.lafayette.edu address 192.168.0.100 hostgroups cisco-switch-standard parents router.lafayette.edu } define host_port { use cisco-switch-standard host switch.lafayette.edu port_name Gi1/0/1 } define service { use service-standard host switch.lafayette.edu port_based true servicegroups cisco-switch-standard service_description Port Traffic check_command check_snmp_traffic!-N $PORTNAME$!-C $USER2$ } In this proposed configuration, a host is defined, as normal. A new object, the host_port object, is defined with port-based information. The host_port object imports information such as address and host_name from the host but can override this information if needed. For instance, a router interface may have an ip address and hostname. Finally, a new tag, port_name, identifies the port name to use. When displaying the host_port in the GUI, or identifying it in email/SMS, the port_name should be appended to the host_name. A similar syntax could be used for parent/child relationships as well. The service definition uses a new tag, port_based, to identify that this service is for the ports of a host, not for the host itself. This service should be applied to all ports. port_name can be used in a manner similar to host or hostgroups to restrict the service to specific ports. Advantages * Clearly links ports to hosts * Parent/child relationships can be clearly defined * A single service entry can be used for many port entries * Very easy to deal with address-assigned ports such as router interfaces Disadvantages * Every port has to be defined * Concatenated host/port names can get a bit long - -- - --------------------------- Jason Frisvold Network Engineer frisvolj at lafayette.edu - --------------------------- "What I cannot create, I do not understand" - Richard Feynman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzJk7EACgkQO80o6DJ8UvkfDACeLtvq+tm2W+Muz32SOopnqo4J /6MAmgM5Gvmp26npPTOl2oY93NBh+hn0 =u3pW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From rutger at blokje.net Thu Oct 28 18:39:05 2010 From: rutger at blokje.net (Rutger Blom) Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:39:05 +0200 Subject: host_port objects - Enhancement Request In-Reply-To: <4CC993B1.5060302@lafayette.edu> References: <4CC993B1.5060302@lafayette.edu> Message-ID: I use check_mk which automatically does a host inventory and adds active interfaces to the configuration.

Many of the services we run are associated with a host and a port. We're using the "service-based ports" solution that you describe. Since Nagios requires that the combination host_name and service_description be unique, we often have to embed a port name in the service_description. Since the port is also passed as an argument to the check_command, it ends up being defined in two places and the service_description has to be changed when we change the port being used for the service. Having to configure a separate service for each port on a given host also complicates configuration changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From rick at screenscape.net Thu Oct 28 18:46:55 2010 From: rick at screenscape.net (Rick Munn) Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:46:55 -0300 Subject: Nagios/NRPE script getting "No output returned from plugin" Message-ID: Hi, Getting a "No output returned from plugin" error message from a Nagios/NRPE script 1) Running Nagios v3.2.2 and v3.2.3(now) and NRPE v2.12 2) The script: OK_STATE=0 UNAME=`/bin/uname -r` echo "OK: Kernel Version=$UNAME" exit $OK_STATE 2) Results on command line on Nagios Server using NRPE - Same OK results from both the root and nagios user: > [nagios at cmonmm03 libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H dappsi01b.dev.screenscape.local -c check_kernel OK: Kernel Version=2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 When I run the check_kernel.sh script on the machine locally it works there too.

I agree something needs doing to make it easier to monitor multiple ports on network nodes. The issue goes a bit wider than just ports on hosts though. There are other object relationships which can be tricky to set up using the limited host/service structure. Some examples that come to mind are: virtual hosts in a VMWare cluster load-balanced services clustered applications various physical and virtual structures in a SAN My preference would be for a less prescriptive nomencalture with more flexibility over what can be grouped with what so Nagios will then be able to cope with whatever groupings and parent relationships we care to throw at it. For example, if instead of "host_port", we have "component" then it's less prescriptive. I'd like to throw around some other ideas for how the service definition would work too. For example: define service { use service-standard components switches-cisco/port* servicegroups cisco-switch-standard service_description Port Traffic check_command check_snmp_traffic!-N $PORTNAME$!-C $USER2$ } That's my 2p anyway. I'm not a programmer. For all I know the dev team might have some ideas already up their sleeve for Nagios 4 or 5.

The switch is still the parent of whatever hosts are sitting beyond it, from Nagios' point of view. If one port stops forwarding traffic but the switch is still up (and thus probably reachable from the admin interface), the actions a network admin would take are vastly different. I agree that it would be nice to be able to surpress notifications for the hosts connected through this particular port, but that would be easier to solve by making it possible to have services as parents (like a parent_service, perhaps). > * Making service changes for a single port requires creating a unique > new service > * Service descriptions can get a bit long when they need to have a > meaningful description associated with them Agreed on those two (sort of). > * Ports with associated addresses are more difficult to define > I don't quite follow you here. If you mean that the interface name is hard to remember (or type), then you can just rename the interface in the switch itself. Name it kungfupanda for all anyone cares. It's a piece of hardware, so it won't be offended no matter what you name it. Other than that, finding it hard to remember is just another reason why you would want it sent to you in a notification so you can quickly find which interface it is when you're trying to fix the problem. > > Host-based Ports > > Another method to accomplish this is to create a ?fake? host entry for > each port and then assign services to those ports for monitoring.

You're trading one set of advantages and disadvantages for something else. How about something like this instead? define host { use some-template host_name some-host service_params { traffic_ports G1(30%,70%)!CHARLIE(60%,70%)!G3,G4 } } define service { use some-service-template lalala yadayada service_description Traffic port %? foreach_param traffic_ports?60%,80% check_command check_traffic!%?!%1!%2 } define checkcommand { command_name check_traffic command_line $USER1$/check_traffic --iface=$ARG1$ --warn=$ARG2$ --crit=$ARG3$ } This would then result in the host getting 4 services, named G1, CHARLIE, G3 and G4, where G3 and G4 have 60% and 80% as their $ARG2$ and $ARG3$, respectively, and G1 and CHARLIE have 30%/70% and 60%/70% as their $ARG2$/$ARG3$, respectively. One service-definition and everything is controlled from the hosts. For extra bonuses, make the service_params variables accept a +, preferrably as a keyword suffix rather than as a value prefix, to add more stuff to the list. If that was the case, the above service_params block could be written as such: service_params { traffic_ports G1(30%,70%) traffic_ports+ CHARLIE(60%,70%) traffic_ports+ G3,G4 } to produce the same result. This should prevent extremely long lines from turning up in the config files. Note the distinction between putting the +-sign as a keyword suffix rather than a value prefix though. Since the values are more or less free-form, adding prefixes and suffixes to them restricts use and makes it a lot harder to parse with various tools. But since you're paying, you get to choose, I suppose. If the professional services support group turn out to be too expensive I might be willing to implement something like this. Let me know in that case and we'll see what can be done. -- 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From tonvoon at gmail.com Fri Oct 29 01:35:00 2010 From: tonvoon at gmail.com (Ton Voon) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 00:35:00 +0100 Subject: host_port objects - Enhancement Request In-Reply-To: <4CC993B1.5060302@lafayette.edu> References: <4CC993B1.5060302@lafayette.edu> Message-ID: <68EF14E8-D7C3-4AE3-BB66-0E9874FB2D25@gmail.com> On 28 Oct 2010, at 16:16, Jason Frisvold wrote: > Nagios Enhancement Proposal > > Overview > > Currently, there are two primary ways to add individual physical ports > for a port-based device.

Opsview (http://opsview.com) has the "Service-based Ports" way of doing this. You assign "host attributes" with X number of items to a host and then Opsview will generate X service checks against it. An example of this is urls or disks or processes. But the most common request for X number of things is interfaces, so we've designed some special pages for that. There's a discovery page where you click "Query Host" and you get a list of all your interfaces and you just tick which ones you want monitored, with your desired thresholds. And there's a Host Interfaces page where you can see a graph of all your interfaces with throughput and errors/discards. See our screencast at http://bit.ly/dnWPJI (from 02:10 onwards) to watch it in action.

I couldn't find an actual name for whatever department within Nagios Enterprises would do the work. Maybe it's the core developers?

Right. I understand that the switch, as a whole, would be the parent of a server, but we were looking for a way to have the port be the parent so we can have finer control over alerting. parent_service is actually a pretty good idea, I hadn't thought of that. >> * Ports with associated addresses are more difficult to define > > I don't quite follow you here.

It's not really a naming issue. If we look at a router instead of a switch, then ports on the router can potentially have addresses associated with them. If we're using services to define ports, then how do I tell the service to use a specific address for the port instead of the host address. The situation gets a bit more confused when you have a router doing both layer 2 and 3 and ports may or may not have addresses. >> * Parent/child relationships work as expected > > They work no differently than they did before. Or am I missing > something? Ports can now be parents of individual hosts rather than the entire switch. >> Disadvantages >> * Every port on every switch has to be defined > > False.

If there is a port you don't want to monitor, just remove the > service definition, or set it to "register 0" Because the host_name has to be unique. So if I have a switch with 5 ports, ethernet0 through ethernet4, I need to have a host_name for the switch itself, switch.lafayette.edu, and then host_names for each port, switch-ethernet0.lafayette.edu, etc. However, these are switch ports and are layer 2 only, so there are no addresses associated with them. I can make the host_names of the ports CNAMEs to the switch host_name, but I don't see the point. >> * Port address entries are often duplicated > > This I don't understand. Can you elaborate? This falls in with the previous remark about host_names. Each host entry requires an address. The only address that makes sense here is the address of the switch itself. So, we have that address multiple times in the configuration, once for the switch, and once for each port. > Sorry, but this is just plain dumb.

And this is exactly why I submitted this to the list before I submitted it to Nagios Enterprises. I'm looking for feedback. I like how this condenses in the configuration and definitely looks like it would work well. However, how would you go about making a port a parent of a host?

I very, very much wish Nagios had the concept of parent_services (notice the plural, no reason not to give a parent service the same multi-parent capabilities as a regular parent host scenario). That way, you could get finer-grained control (it's just the switch port) and deal with multi-homed hosts with that same level of granularity (host A depends on switch 1 port 6 AND switch 2 port 12).

Message-ID: Hi everybody: I'm working hard with Nagios 3.0.4 on Debian Lenny. I have some questions. I can't find any information about these issues. I have hosts with a first_notification_delay of 60 minutes. And I have the whole day a Nagios controlling the same hosts. It's good to know if the same host is turned on during the night, but my work period begins at 10:00 am and it finish at 22:00 pm, I'm not a lucky boy [?] So I have configured a notification Period to 10:00 am to 22:00 pm. Question 1: If a host goes into hard state CRITICAL, I know that Nagios waits 60 minutes to send a notification, but What happens if the host recovers before the first_notification_delay period ( for example, 30 min before)? Does it send the recovery notification or not? Question 2: If a hard state happens at 21:59. Does Nagios wait until the 10:00 am of the day after to send the notification? If the host recovers at 9:00 am of the day after is the notification message cancelled? Thanks a lot in advantace. -- Xavier Domingo Navarro javier.domingo at focusonemotions.com Mov +34 657 522 736 Gtalk: javier.domingo at focusonemotions.com Tel +34 93 368 99 85 ext 7015 Fax +34 93 415 39 79 Focus on Emotions S.L Avda.

I will keep reading it until it makes sense. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I've installed nagios and nsca with the package manager. I have most hosts/services on 192.168.2.x network, but there are a few on a 10.0.0.x network behind a gateway machine 192.168.2.200<->10.0.0.1. My nagios box is 192.168.2.201 The nsca daemon is running fine. I can do a send_nsca from 192.168.2.200 and get an Okay Packet sent. In my syslog it says: Oct 30 14:04:36 nagios nsca[713]: Connection from 192.168.2.200 port 8853 Oct 30 14:04:36 nagios nsca[713]: Handling the connection...

I wonder why nagios.cmd does not exist, if I touch this manually, the error goes away, but it happens again if I restart the nagios service. Does anyone have example config files of a distributed nagios where the only reason that it's distributed is because of network topology, not for redundancy. I'm sorry I don't understand the documentation and need a little more hand holding. -Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From ras.kumar01 at gmail.com Sat Oct 30 20:45:59 2010 From: ras.kumar01 at gmail.com (Rajesh Kumar) Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010 02:45:59 +0800 Subject: Check_http_Multipple_port In-Reply-To: <4CCC0101.5040802@gmail.com> References: <4CCC0101.5040802@gmail.com> Message-ID: Hi OK, Let we check and update to you.

Have you checked the nagios.cfg file and ensured the path for command_file is the same in both the nagios.cfg and nsca.cfg? Nagios should be creating the command file on start up. If they are the same, check that nagios has write permissions to /var/lib/nagios3/rw. Also, the command file is a pipe, not a simple file, so "touch" isn't good enough, you'll need to use mkfifo or mknod. -- Jonathan Angliss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From rick at screenscape.net Sun Oct 31 14:12:30 2010 From: rick at screenscape.net (Rick Munn) Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010 10:12:30 -0300 Subject: Check_http_Multipple_port In-Reply-To: <4CCC0101.5040802@gmail.com> References: <4CCC0101.5040802@gmail.com> Message-ID: Here's a method we use: Here's something that might help.
