You may want to modify your hosts.cfg file as follows

# 'jello' host definition
define host{
         use                     generic-host            ; Name of host

template to use

         host_name               jello2
         alias                   jello2
         address                 172.16.1.x
         check_command           check_host_alive
         max_check_attempts      10
         notification_interval   30
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    d,u,r

Also you should have something in relating to the check_ping in your
checkcommands.cfg file similar to this

# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
	command_name	check_ping
	command_line	$USER1$/check_fping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$
-c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$
	}

I believe by default it uses the check_fping instead of check ping. If
you compiled Nagios yourself then there is a file called REQUIREMENTS
that is included with all the files that says the following

check_fping:
        - Requires the fping utility distributed with SATAN.  Either
          download and install SATAN or grab the fping program from
          http://www.fping.com
          http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/fping/fping.html
=20
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.src.rpm
=20
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/RPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.i386.rpm
          Note that the fping command must be setuid root to function.


That will most likely fix the problem for you. Or you could just change
the fping to ping in the checkcommands.cfg file

Sorry I didn't see this e mail before.  Here is what you wanted to see.

It is only one machine that I need to monitor.

Here is what my hosts.cfg file looks like.

# 'jello' host definition
define host{
         use                     generic-host            ; Name of host

template to use

         host_name               jello2
         alias                   jello2
         address                 172.16.1.x
         check_command           check_ping
         max_check_attempts      10
         notification_interval   30
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    d,u,r

Here is my services.cfg file for that same machine:


# Service definition
define service{
         use                             generic-service         ; Name

of service template to use

         host_name                       jello2
         service_description             check_ping
         is_volatile                     0
         check_period                    24x7
         max_check_attempts              3
         normal_check_interval           3
         retry_check_interval            1
         contact_groups                  opnet-admins
         notification_interval           30
         notification_period             24x7
         notification_options            w,u,c,r
         check_command                   check_ping

No, Nagios should take care of this for you.

If it determines the host is down, it should notify you on the host, and
not all the individual services.

	Thanks Darren that clears things up immensely.=20

	=20

	One more question for you then. Say I have one server that has 6
services being checked. If that server goes down then I don't want to be
notified that the other 6 services are down as well. Would I use service
dependencies for this?

	Dale:

	I believe what you are looking for is a parent-child
relationship, rather than a host-dependency.

	=20

	Given the following network (forgive the ASCII art ;-) ):

	            Nagios
	                |
	           Firewall
	                |
	        *-------*-------*
	        |       |       |
	        A     B     C

	I would set this up as:

	        define host{
	                host_name       A
	                parent          Firewall
	        }

	=20

	        define host{
	                host_name       B
	                parent          Firewall
	        }

	=20

	        define host{
	                host_name       C
	                parent          Firewall
	        }

=09
	        define host{
	                host_name       Firewall
	        }

	You will note that there is no parent defined for 'Firewall'.
This is because 'Firewall' is local to Nagios (meaning, no the same
network/subnet).

	=20

	In this case, if any of 'A','B', or 'C' goes down, Nagios will
check 'Firewall'.  If 'Firewall' is down, Nagios will tell you about it,
but NOT about 'A', 'B', or 'C' ('Firewall's children).  This will show
up in the web interface as a 'network outage', instead of a simple
'host' outage.

	=20

	I do not use host dependencies personally, so I could not
comment as to a scenario in which they would be useful.

	=20

	Important note however, if you want 'Firewall' to be checked
ONLY when any of it's children are down, do not define any services for
this host.  If, however, you want Nagios to "active" check this device,
setup a simple 'check_ping' service for it.  I have not completely
tested this out, but I do believe that having an "active" check on
firewall in this configuration will allow Nagios to pick up a failure on
that device quicker (this may not be the case thought).

	=20

	I hope that helps.

	=20

	Subject: [Nagios-users] Question regarding Dependencies

		For give me if this question has been asked before. I
have read the docs in regards to dependencies but am still a bit unclear
as to the internal workings.

		=20

		If I have 3 servers (www1, www2, www3) on the outside of
my firewall with the following dependencies set up for each of the 3
servers:

		=20

		define hostdependency{

		        host_name                       www1

		        dependent_host_name        firewall

		        notification_failure_criteria   d,u

		        }

		=20

		If my firewall goes down, obviously it will notify me
that the firewall is down but will it also notify me that it can't
contact each of the 3 servers as well? Also if one of the servers goes
down is Nagios smart enough to check the firewall first to make sure
that it is still available before notifying me that the server is down
in case that it can't contact the server because the firewall is down?

Is  there a way to tell it to use check_ping instead of check_fping?

I have made the first change and my checkcommands has the following:

# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
         command_name    check_ping
         command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c 
5000.0,100% -p 1
#        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

I will check and see if they have an fping program for solaris 8 since 
this is what my program is running on.

Thanks

Hello!

Is anyone use nagiosgraph or nagiostat with nagios?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosgraph/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiostat/

I have install both programs but both don't work. I use debian woody and 
the newest stable nagios version. rrdtools are also installed.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot!

If you want to use check_ping instead of check_fping then you can change
the check_ping command definition in the checkcommands.cfg file to:

# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
 	command_name	check_ping
 	command_line	$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$
 -c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$
 	}

You should probably leave the check-host-alive command as it was upon
installation otherwise you will run into problems if you have more than
one host. The check-host-alive command should be as follows:

# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
        }
If you set it the way that you changed it
# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
         command_name    check_ping
         command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c=20
5000.0,100% -p 1

Then it will only check the host jello. The -H $HOSTADDRESS$ is a string
that gets it's info from the ip address of the hosts.cfg file. For
example

You have a host called jello whose ip address is 192.168.1.1. In the
services.cfg file you specify that you want Nagios to do a check_ping on
the host jello. The services.cfg file then looks at the hosts.cfg file
to find the ipaddress for the host jello and inserts it into the
$HOSTADDRESS$ string. Now, if you have a jello2 host and want to do a
check_ping on it as well it will take that hosts ip address and insert
it into the $HOSTADDRESS$ string. If you change that string to $jello$
then the check_ping command will only ever check the host jello.

Is  there a way to tell it to use check_ping instead of check_fping?

I have made the first change and my checkcommands has the following:

# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
         command_name    check_ping
         command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c=20
5000.0,100% -p 1
#        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w=20
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

I will check and see if they have an fping program for solaris 8 since=20
this is what my program is running on.

Thanks

Alright,

Here is what I have changed if I read correctly:

1. In my hosts.cfg file I have the following entry (in bold is what was 
changed):

# 'jello' host definition
define host{
         use                     generic-host            ; Name of host 
template to use
         host_name               jelloxx
         alias                   jelloxx
         address                 172.16.1.x
         check_command           check_host_alive
         max_check_attempts      10
         notification_interval   30
         notification_period     24x7
         notification_options    d,u,r

2. In my checkcommands.cfg I have the following entries.  Entry number 
one was change back to it's original and entry number 2 was added.  
These are both generic so if I decide to add more machines I will most 
likely be ok.

# 'check-host-alive' command definition
define command{
         command_name    check-host-alive
         command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
         }

# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
         command_name    check_ping
         command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5

3.  I installed fping from sunfreeware.com using pkgadd -d so that is 
now installed on my machine.

Is there anything else that you can think of that I may need before I 
restart nagios?

Thanks,

Alright,


Here is what I have changed if I read correctly:


1. In my hosts.cfg file I have the following entry (in bold is what
was changed):


# 'jello' host definition

define host{

        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
template to use

        host_name               jelloxx

        alias                   jelloxx

        address                 172.16.1.x

        check_command           <bold>check_host_alive</bold>

        max_check_attempts      10

        notification_interval   30

        notification_period     24x7

        notification_options    d,u,r


2. In my checkcommands.cfg I have the following entries.  Entry number
one was change back to it's original and entry number 2 was added. 
These are both generic so if I decide to add more machines I will most
likely be ok.


# 'check-host-alive' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check-host-alive

        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

        }


# 'check_ping' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check_ping

        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5


3.  I installed fping from sunfreeware.com using pkgadd -d so that is
now installed on my machine.


Is there anything else that you can think of that I may need before I
restart nagios?


Thanks,

<excerpt>If you want to use check_ping instead of check_fping then you
can change

the check_ping command definition in the checkcommands.cfg file to:


# 'check_ping' command definition

define command{

 	command_name	check_ping

 	command_line	$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$

 -c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$

 	}


You should probably leave the check-host-alive command as it was upon

installation otherwise you will run into problems if you have more than

one host. The check-host-alive command should be as follows:


# 'check-host-alive' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check-host-alive

        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w

3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

        }

If you set it the way that you changed it

# 'check-host-alive' command definition

define command{

         command_name    check_ping

         command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c 

5000.0,100% -p 1


Then it will only check the host jello. The -H $HOSTADDRESS$ is a
string

that gets it's info from the ip address of the hosts.cfg file. For

example


You have a host called jello whose ip address is 192.168.1.1. In the

services.cfg file you specify that you want Nagios to do a check_ping
on

the host jello. The services.cfg file then looks at the hosts.cfg file

to find the ipaddress for the host jello and inserts it into the

$HOSTADDRESS$ string. Now, if you have a jello2 host and want to do a

check_ping on it as well it will take that hosts ip address and insert

it into the $HOSTADDRESS$ string. If you change that string to $jello$

then the check_ping command will only ever check the host jello.

Is  there a way to tell it to use check_ping instead of check_fping?


I have made the first change and my checkcommands has the following:


# 'check-host-alive' command definition

define command{

         command_name    check_ping

         command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c 

5000.0,100% -p 1

#        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 

3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1


I will check and see if they have an fping program for solaris 8 since 

this is what my program is running on.


Thanks

Also you should have something in relating to the check_ping in your

checkcommands.cfg file similar to this


# 'check_ping' command definition

define command{

	command_name	check_ping

	command_line	$USER1$/check_fping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$

-c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$

	}


I believe by default it uses the check_fping instead of check ping. If

you compiled Nagios yourself then there is a file called REQUIREMENTS

that is included with all the files that says the following


check_fping:

        - Requires the fping utility distributed with SATAN.  Either

          download and install SATAN or grab the fping program from

          http://www.fping.com

          http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/fping/fping.html


ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.src.rpm


ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/RPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.i386.rpm

          Note that the fping command must be setuid root to function.



That will most likely fix the problem for you. Or you could just

</excerpt>change

<excerpt>the fping to ping in the checkcommands.cfg file

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problem with false status



Hello all,


I am new to installing nagios and I am having a common problem that I

can't seem to solve.


Right now I have configured nagios to monitor a machine to check and

see if it is up or down using ping.  Nagios has noticed that the

particular machine was done when I did a reboot to test to see if the

notification was working.  That worked with no problems.  However...

Now that the machine is back up and running, nagios is still saying

that this machine is down.  If I look at the web interface it says

</excerpt>that

<excerpt>its down and I am getting a page every 2 hours letting me
know that

</excerpt>the

<excerpt>machine is still down.  I can get the machine that it is
monitoring

with no problems and even the machine that nagios is running on can

</excerpt>get

<excerpt>to this machine.


I checked the FAQ on nagios.org and it told me to "Make sure that the

host check command in your host definition is configured correctly."

Unfortunately I don't know which file they are talking about.  I

checked the hosts.cfg file and it seems to be fine (from what I can

tell).  Can anyone give me a better idea of what I am looking for and

how to solve this?


Thanks,

I'm trying to configure 'notify-by-email' to send

I know mail command does no have option to specify a

Any help would be really helpful. I'm running nagios

Nope, that all looks good.

=20

Note.=20

If you decide to use fping instead of ping the only thing you will need
to do now that you've got fping installed would be to change ping to
fping in the checkcommands file and setuid to root on the fping file.
Not sure where it is on your system but on my machine it's in
/usr/sbin/fping. If you decide that you do not want to use fping then
disregard this part

=20

Alright,=20

=20

Here is what I have changed if I read correctly:=20

=20

1. In my hosts.cfg file I have the following entry (in bold is what was
changed):=20

=20

# 'jello' host definition=20

define host{=20

use generic-host ; Name of host template to use=20

host_name jelloxx=20

alias jelloxx=20

address 172.16.1.x=20

check_command check_host_alive=20

max_check_attempts 10=20

notification_interval 30=20

notification_period 24x7=20

notification_options d,u,r=20

=20

2. In my checkcommands.cfg I have the following entries. Entry number
one was change back to it's original and entry number 2 was added. These
are both generic so if I decide to add more machines I will most likely
be ok.=20

=20

# 'check-host-alive' command definition=20

define command{=20

command_name check-host-alive=20

command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c
5000.0,100% -p 1=20

}=20

=20

# 'check_ping' command definition=20

define command{=20

command_name check_ping=20

command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c
5000.0,100% -p 5=20

=20

3. I installed fping from sunfreeware.com using pkgadd -d so that is now
installed on my machine.=20

=20

Is there anything else that you can think of that I may need before I
restart nagios?=20

=20

Thanks,=20

	If you want to use check_ping instead of check_fping then you
can change=20

	the check_ping command definition in the checkcommands.cfg file
to:=20

	=20

	# 'check_ping' command definition=20

	define command{=20

	command_name check_ping=20

	command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$=20

	-c $ARG2$ -n $ARG3$=20

	}=20

	=20

	You should probably leave the check-host-alive command as it was
upon=20

	installation otherwise you will run into problems if you have
more than=20

	one host. The check-host-alive command should be as follows:=20

	=20

	# 'check-host-alive' command definition=20

	define command{=20

	command_name check-host-alive=20

	command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w=20

	3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1=20

	}=20

	If you set it the way that you changed it=20

	# 'check-host-alive' command definition=20

	define command{=20

	command_name check_ping=20

	command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $jello -w 3000.0,80% -c=20

	5000.0,100% -p 1=20

	=20

	Then it will only check the host jello. The -H $HOSTADDRESS$ is
a string=20

	that gets it's info from the ip address of the hosts.cfg file.
For=20

	example=20

	=20

	You have a host called jello whose ip address is 192.168.1.1. In
the=20

	services.cfg file you specify that you want Nagios to do a
check_ping on=20

	the host jello. The services.cfg file then looks at the
hosts.cfg file=20

	to find the ipaddress for the host jello and inserts it into the


	$HOSTADDRESS$ string. Now, if you have a jello2 host and want to
do a=20

	check_ping on it as well it will take that hosts ip address and
insert=20

	it into the $HOSTADDRESS$ string. If you change that string to
$jello$=20

	then the check_ping command will only ever check the host jello.
