Dear all, I am using Fedore core 5 and i have install nagios for Network monitoring. Version Details: OS - Linux Fedora Core 5 Application : Nagios 2.5 SNMP 5.3.1 CISCO MIB file using V1 My Setup description: 1 .SNMP trap daemon will receive SNMP traps 2 . SNMP trap daemon will handle traps to /var/spool/snmptt 3. SNMPTT will get the traps from /var/spool/snmptt directory 4. SNMPTT translate the mibs and handover to syslog (/var/log/message) 5 . I have called SEC to correlate the events from syslog and sec will in turn use the python script to correlate the event to handover to nagios cmd. I am verifying the documents form sysadmin site. I have copied the same service templates from the site for my configuration. iam using minimal.cfg as object configuartion file in that service template is given below <pre>define service { use passive-check-template name generic-snmptrap service_description snmp_trap_handling is_volatile 1 check_period none notification_interval 120 notification_options w,u,c,r notification_period 24x7 check_command passive_check_missing max_check_attempts 1 check_freshness 0 stalking_options o,w,u,c register 0 } define service { use generic-snmptrap host_name my_example_host contact_groups my_example_group service_description snmp_trap_handling_ok } define service { use generic-snmptrap host_name my_example_host contact_groups my_example_group service_description snmp_trap_handling_warning } define service { use generic-snmptrap host_name my_example_host contact_groups my_example_group service_description snmp_trap_handling_critical } </pre>when i execute nagios it says error message as given below Error: Template 'passive-check-template' specified in service definition could not be not found (config file '/etc/nagios/minimal.cfg', starting on line 307) Error: Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or notification_interval value for service 'snmp_trap_handling_Critical' on host 'router1' Error: Could not register service (config file '/etc/nagios/minimal.cfg', starting on line 330) how to integrate SNMP traps in nagios web browser Pls find my configuration files with this .

Maybe I went too quickly. What dit not work is that I would like to use a group for the service description. I want to be able to say that for every server in my config, if NRPE is not returning OK on one server, don't do checks that depend on NRPE. The ideal solution would be only one servicedependency definition, but I don't think it is possible, so here is what I tried: - Defined a servicegroup: define servicegroup{ servicegroup_name NRPE_dep alias NRPE-dependant checks } - I added members through the "servicegroups" directive in the service descriptions. Now I'm trying that: define servicedependency{ dependent_servicegroup_name NRPE_dep host_name server1 service_description NRPE execution_failure_criteria n notification_failure_criteria w,u,c } I always get this error: Error: NULL service description/host name in service dependency definition Any ideas? ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 16:27:11 -0400 From: Ugo Bellavance <ugob@camo-route.com> Subject: [Nagios-users] Distributed setup, NSCA, not working To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <ef9e30$q29$1@sea.gmane.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi, I'm trying to make a failover system, so I have added, on the master server, to: nagios.cfg: obsess_over_services=1 ocsp_command=send_service_check ( don't check for hosts) I've defined send_service_check like this: # send_service_check command definition define command{ command_name send_service_check command_line /usr/sbin/send_nsca -H 10.0.0.2 -c /etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg -d "," $HOSTNAME$,'$SERVICEDESC$',$SERVICESTATEID$,'$SERVICEOUTPUT$' } It does not work. 10.0.0.2 never gets anything, but I don't have any errors either.

I'm running Nagios on SUSe linux, 8.x, sles 9.3 and have been having this trouble since Nagios 1.1. Currently using v2.5. I'm currently using plugins v1.4.2, but the version doesn't seem to matter. The OS also doesn't seem to matter. We're running on an old 486, a new 64-bit Intel blade, and a z/Os mainframe virtual host and it bombs the same on all. Nagios crashes occassionally when entering or exiting from scheduled down time. I've seen the problem once or twice from other commands, but it seems the easiest to reproduce by scheduling downtime. In all earlier versions, the crash wrote a segfault to the logs, but v2.5 just dies quietly. The problem comes around once every 200-300 commands, but there isn't a magic number. It doesn't die on the same host name, either. We are currently showing around 11 critical items in the monitoring interface, and all the statuses and notifications are valid. We are using only active checks. The performance numbers look suspicious (90% over one minute) but with performance data monitoring disabled in nagios.cfg, I don't place much confidence in these numbers.

You were probably trying for something like -- command_line /usr/bin/httping -x $HOSTADDRESS$:$ARG1$ -c 1 -h www.google.com That would at least get httping running _BUT_ unless httping exits with the standard nagios exit codes to denote state and follows the nagios output guidelines (in the Developer Docs at http://nagiosplug.sf.net), you'll need to create a wrapper script for it so that it does. This is almost certainly going to be necessary. Essentially you'll need to look at the output of httping and determine if it's OK, WARNING, CRITICAL or UNKNOWN and tell nagios appropriately. At the minimum you'll need to follow the 'Print only one line of output' and 'Plugin Return Codes' section of that documentation. -- Marc ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 00:49:49 +0300 From: "naim abu darwish" <naim.abu.darwish@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] httping through proxy To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <3f8ec11c0609251449lde86f61w19b757096d8d221a@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hello Thnx for the quick reply Mark, httping actaully has a -N switch :: httping:: -N x Nagios mode 2: return 0 when all fine, 'x' i could add to that a time limit, say -t 2, standing for time limit is 2 seconds, and i sound the alarm when the value goes above that. but thats not what i really want, i want the actuall httping value, i want to make a graph out of it, with nagiosgrapher or pnp.

Alternatively do what I do. Create a servicedependency.cfg file that is created by a script that parses the objects.cache file. so to update: clear/empty servicedependency.cfg reload nagios wait until objects.cache is updated parse objects.cache for all the host/service pairs in the NRPE_dep servicegroup generate: define servicedependency{ dependent_host_name example dependent_service_description (all services from NRPE_dep for host example) host_name example service_description NRPE ... } and put them into servicedependency.cfg reload nagios to load the now non-empty servicedependency.cfg file.
