Subject: [Nagios-users] Using Nagios for the first time!!!

Hello All,
I am a Masters student in Electrical Engg. And I am working on a
masters project which involves use of Nagios. To be more precise, I'll
be working on Esensors' Energy Meter monitoring project during next
4-6 months.

Now, I just wanted to know is it possible to install Nagios in a PC
without really connecting it to the web or net. I mean just
isolated/standalond installation of Nagios. I just want to have an
idea of working  of Nagios, so that accoring I can work on my project.

So far, assuming that it is possible to install Nagios, I downloaded
the latest file  nagios-2.0b1.tar.gz and I guess I installed it
properly. I am not sure if its done perfectly or not, as I am not sure
how to check that. Next I tried to install the plug ins file
nagiosplug 1.4-beta1. But could not install it properly. I already
have posted the problem in detail yesterday here only.

So, Andreas Ericsson suggested the following solution. (Thanks Andreas!!!)	
-----
This is a known problem. Try downloading the CVS head of the plugins,
and pray the developers don't put this kind of easy-to-find bugs in the
next release.
-----
However, I am not sure where to and how to install CVS and how to
integrate it with the plugins. Moreover, I just started using and
learing Linux. (I am using Red Hat Linux).

Could someone please help in above problems ? I searched and read a
lot to solve this, but still not able to start Nagios completely with
its all ;lugins and CVSs.

Thanks,

If you'd care to re-write Nagios in such a way that it can scale to 10,000 
hosts using active checks, I'd be more than happy to use it. Sadly, the 
current 1 fork (and an exec for non embedded perl checks) per data point 
just doesn't scale well.

The extra resources required in this case are all on the client, not on the 
Nagios server(s).

No, if the server stays down, Ping will alarm as soon as scheduled downtime 
expires (+ 0 to ping interval additional time). If the server comes back up 
enough to respond to ICMP echo requests, but does not complete booting, all 
the service checks will alarm due to freshness checks (assuming you have 
something being monitored on that host).

You are not installing CVS.  Andreas is just saying to get the latest and
greatest code from CVS and try it.  So give the following a try.

Go to the following url and download the file called  nagios-plugins-HEAD

http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot/

Then compile it as per the directions in the archive.

The plugin doesn't look very useful (to me).
I've written a better one (feature-wise - code-quality is a different 
issue) some time ago.
It's actually two plugins to check fans and temperatures.
Currently, I do not have access to CPQ-Hardware anymore, so I can't say 
how useful it still is (maybe MIBs have changed - I don't know). It's 
also written for netsaint originally - maybe it needs updating for newer 
plugin-versions.
But together with an SNMP-browser, you should get an idea.

http://www.ultra-secure.de/~rainer/nagios/check_temp_cpq
http://www.ultra-secure.de/~rainer/nagios/check_fan_cpq_present

(Similar plugins exist for reading out the MIBs of FSC ServerView - but 
because the semantics are slightly different, I couldn't just swap the MIBs)


Looking at it now, a cleanup in comments and help-text seems appropriate...




cheers,
Rainer

could you submit them to the nagiosplug project on sourceforge in the new=20
plugins section.

Subject: [Nagios-users] help with check_http with ampersand (&) in URL

hi all

can check_http check links with ampersand (&) characters in the url.
An example url would be: 
http://intl.yahoo.asia.studylink.com/results/results.html?page=1&study-locations=&levels-of-study=&keywords=it

when i try the above url i get strange results that nagios doesn't
understand. example:

root at vmNagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_http -H
intl.yahoo.asia.studylink.com -u
/results/results.html?page=1&study-locations=&levels-of-study=&keywords=it
[1] 394
[2] 395
bash: study-locations=: command not found
[3] 396
bash: levels-of-study=: command not found
[2]   Exit 127                study-locations=
[3]+  Exit 127                levels-of-study=
root at vmNagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# HTTP ok: HTTP/1.0 302 Moved
Temporarily -   0.358 second response time |time=  0.358


any help much appreciated
