RRDTool exits with errors -> ERROR: can't make a graph without contents

Hi Nibin

 

I'm not aware in which mode I had configured pnp4nagios (my apologies).
Anyways I'm pasting excerpt of my host configuration & serviceextinfo
file so that you can get the clear picture. In fact, in Nagios web
console, I'm able to see Memory & CPU utilization of Cisco devices
however unable to view the graphs. I'm using check_snmp_mem.pl plugin to
capture Memory utilization of Cisco devices. Let me know if any other
info required from me. I would really appreciate your help in this
regard.

 

 

Excerpts of host Configuration File

 

define command{

        command_name    process-service-perfdata

        command_line    /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl

        }

 

Excerpts of Serviceextinfo File

 

define serviceextinfo{

              host_name                            L3-Switch

              service_description               MEM

              action_url
/nagios/pnp/index.php?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$

              }

 

Regards

Navdeep Sidhu

I've finally gotten a chance to look at this again.  Thank you to those
that responded with helpful information.  However, I just realized that
I am working on an AIX 5.1 system, and since the binaries I'm using are
written for 5.3, there are compatibility issues which seem to be causing
my problems.  I may need to look around for a different solution, to
monitor my AIX system.

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel Ceola

Those are the binaries that I compiled and uploaded a couple years ago.
We are still using them today, but if you have any issues let me know.

 

I would suggest running the check_disk with the -x /proc as it is in
nrpe as the same user nrpe is running as via command line to ensure it
behaves as expected

 

I have had no issue using sudo on aix btw.

Giorgio,

 

I appreciate all your guesses.

 

As far as the ulimits.conf file was, this system didn't have one!  I did

run the ulimits -a as the nagios user anf got this:

Ah, I think it may be due to a ngaios setting of

"enable_environment_macros":

nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html

 

Nagios [can] export all sorts of data relating to the state of the

check, and that can be useful, but it seems as if your configuration

is too big or complicated or such to fit.  Do your other checks work?

What if you make their argument list as long as for check_dig?

I think it's possible that some checks are run with bigger inherited

environment than other checks, due to servicegroups and such.  The

execve() E2BIG error is due to a kernel limit on the size of "argument

list plus environment".  You could also write a check (or replace the

check_dig command) with something like "set

>/var/lib/nagios3/nagios-environment" or some other nagios-writable

path.  There shouldn't be more than (say) a kilobyte of environment.

It's also possible that you're sourceing something huge like

/etc/bash_completion, but that doesn't explain why it doesn't affect

your user accounts and other nagios checks.  Or you can rerun the

strace with "-v" to cause the environment to be displayed.

Justin,

 

I ran across that one as well and set the following in nagios.cfg:

 

enable_environment_macros=0

 

This didn't help.  I do have a fairly large config (about 8k hosts and

12k service checks) but I didn't think it was THAT big.

 

Actually the check_dig command isn't the only one that isn't working.

The "service-notify-by-email" command also barfs on the output of SOME

checks, not all.  This is simply a "printf blah blah blah" command

defined in Nagios, not a compiled plug in. The check_ping command works,

but I understand it's just a wrapper for the ping command itself.  A

number of custom bash and perl check commands work, but admittedly I

simply pass the $HOSTNAME$ to them as an argument.

 

I've rewritten the DNS-Check command so that everything except the

$HOSTNAME$ is "hard coded" but I don't think this will work.  I'm

admittedly grasping at straws now.  This is what the command line will

look like:

 

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_dns -s $HOSTADDRESS$ -H www.xplornet.com

-a 142.166.86.46 -w 0.25 -c 5 -t 10

All,

 

Just an update:

 

Appending "enable_environment_macros=0" to the end of the nagios.cfg

file as opposed to putting it just after all the file declarations

appears to have fixed it.  I didn't think it was that sensitive to

placement in the config file.

 

Thanks all!

 

Craig

Hi

 

 

 

I'm using Nagios 2.8 with RRD tool version 1.0.50 & PNP version 0.3

installed. Nagios is running on RHEL-4

 

 

 

I'm facing an issue in RRD Tool. Recently I have configured this tool

for Cisco devices (under serviceextinfo.cfg file) so that memory & CPU

utilization should be available in graphs however I'm getting following

error when trying to view the graphs

 

 

 

RRDTool exits with errors -> ERROR: can't make a graph without contents 

 

 

 

This tool is working fine with Intel platform servers & displaying the

graphs however not working in Cisco devices. 

 

 

 

Kindly help

 

 

 

Regards

The placement of the option may be significant if that option is set

somewhere else in the file, or in another file referenced by

"cfg_file" or "cfg_dir" options.

 

Our nagios-spawned environment has 6K of data, and

NAGIOS_SERVICEGROUPMEMBERS, in particular, is about 1k of that.

Hey guys,

 

I have two web servers which I have been monitoring.

 

define host{

        use                     web-server

        host_name               MDS-Support

        alias                   MDS Support on Apache Web Server

        address                 67.88.41.150

        parents                 rtr-t1-ext-150

        contact_groups          webadmins

        }

 

define host{

        use                     web-server

        host_name               MDS-Main-Website

        alias                   multidataservices main website

        address                 www.multidataservices.com

        parents                 Internet

        contact_groups          webadmins

        }

 

 

But somehow I got this message today when one of the two was not
responding:

 

 

***** Nagios *****

 

 

 

Notification Type: PROBLEM

 

 

 

Service: HTTP

 

Host: MDS Support on Apache Web Server

 

Address: www.multidataservices.com<http://www.multidataservices.com>

 

State: CRITICAL

 

 

 

Date/Time: Fri Jun 3 15:03:22 EDT 2011

 

 

 

Additional Info:

 

 

 

CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds

 

 

 

It seems the Host Name is for one entry and the Address is from the
other.  Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

 

Henry.

Humm.. I believe it would be better to set as address the IP address and


not the dns name.. Then, if you define the service for checking the http


service, use the http command that also takes the virtulHost name.

 

Hope this helps.

Best regards.
