Since you are getting that error, I don't think the firewall is the
problem.  If it were the firewall, I'd expect a timeout issue.

First, make sure you are passing the proper community string and SNMP
version into the script:

./check_sasraid_megaraid.pl -H bullwinkle -C <community string> -T megaraid
-s <1 or 2c>

If you still are getting that error, try 'perc4' as your -T argument.

Lastly (or firstly, I suppose), check to make sure you actually have a
MegaRAID adapter:

dmesg | grep -i raid

If you do, you should see a line like:

Vendor: MegaRAID  Model: LD 0 RAID5  139G  Rev: 513O

My guess is you have an old version of perl or missing something else...

How did you install perl and Nagios/Nagios plugins?  I just tested this
plugin on a CentOS 5.3 box which had perl and nagios-plugins installed via
yum repository.  Worked just fine.

I'd install nagios-plugins from yum and see if that clears things up.  If
it doesn't you might want to check which version of perl you are running
and upgrade it.

Looks the same.  Double checked the user running nrpe is really
nagios?  How about running "env -i" before testing the script locally
to see if there are any issues with environment being loaded when
executed remotely.

>The mention of check_cpu should be replaced with check_procs, sorry for the typo.

Figured that was what you meant ;)

Nagios itself doesn't receive emails, but if you have control over the 
mail server in some form, you can make it work. For instance, if you 
have sendmail (or anything that can invoke procmail), you can use that 
to call a script, and the script in turn can send an external command to 
Nagios.

Subject: Check Windows Updates question
Message-ID: <1241184286.3430.0@antares>

Hi,

I try to use the plugin  
<http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=2639.html;d=1> via  
nrpe as to detect pending Windows updates.  However, running the  
plug-in says

<snip>
root at my-server:/opt/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H winbox -c  
check_win_updates ; echo $?
Critical: 10 Updates detected! No Reboot required!
2
</snip>

but when I log onto the Win box and run the Win update, it says that  
there are no pending updates.

Any idea what I missed here?  I would really like to use that plug-in...

Thanks, Albrecht.

Host OS is CentOS 5.x (originally 5.2 with ongoing updates applied via 
yum.)  Perl is default install v 5.8.8. On the Nagios box (actually a 
VM) I'm using Groundwork Community Edition 5.3 VM as provided by 
groundwork. I've not actually connected the plugin to anything Nagios 
yet, I'm just running it from the command line.

I did have to install Net::SNMP for perl from CPAN.

Hmmm, what a puzzle.

Doesn't matter if you're not using the plugin within Nagios yet.  What
matters is if you have all the perl utilities installed.

If you haven't already, install the following:

yum install nagios-plugins

Then rerun the script.  I have a CentOS 5.2 box with Perl, Nagios, and
Nagios-plugins installed via yum and I don't have the problems you do
running the script.

Progress, of sorts.

I installed nagios on another CentOS box to ensure that you and I are 
working from the same essential config. Had exactly the same perl errors 
as before. Doing some debugging of the script, it occurred to me that 
the first error

	substr outside of string at ./check_sasraid_megaraid.pl line 461.

was a great big clue perhaps the script wasn't getting anything back from the percsnmp daemon on the monitored box. 

Since I was running snmpd using the default snmpd.conf, I figured that since I'm only going to use the percsnmpd, why not  symlink percsnmpd.conf to snmpd.conf and try again. This got me much further, though still with errors:

	snmp error: No response from remote host 'bullwinkle'
	Megaraid UNKNON - could not retrieve snmp table blah blah

OK, so I'm guessing that something is broken in my snmp config. Guess it's time to try to figure that out. RTFM, as they say!

I thought about writing a wrapper script, just wanted to make sure there
wasn't something (better) out there already..

*OH* ...  I figured it out.  Duh..  Should have tried this before.
Here's the behaviour I was looking for :

./check_snmp -H 10.0.0.1 -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.4.1.1.0 -r
[^3]$

In other words, return an OK value UNLESS you get a 3 ...  The only
concern I have with this is that I can't figure out how to restrict this
to ONLY a 3.  As I see it, I believe it would match 3, 13, 23, etc.  If
I put a ^ at the beginning, though, it doesn't match properly..  But,
what I have is enough to start.

Well, if I use the default snmpd.conf, I can connect to the host using 
snmpwalk locally and from the nagios host, but I can't see anything 
related to the perc array. It is this configuration that causes the perl 
substr error when I run check_sasraid_megaraid.

Renaming percsnmpd.conf -> snmpd.conf, I can't connect to the host at 
all either using snmpwalk or the script.

Both conf files have a line "pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582 /usr/sbin/percmain" 
as the last line of the file, but I don't understand enough about snmp 
(reading the docs is giving me a headache! :) to be able to connect the 
dots.

Would you share relevant snmpd.conf info for me, James?

Much thanks for your patience and advice.

First, have you verified that the perc agent is actually running on the
remote host?

ps -ef | grep perc

Furthermore, you're certainly not going to be able to connect to your
remote server via SNMP by using the default percsnmpd.conf file.

If you are able to connect to your host using the original snmpd.conf file
with the added perc statements, then you are fine.

Next, are you running SNMP v1 or v2?  That's important as you have to
provide the correct version to the plugin.

Lastly, what happens when you do an snmpwalk from the remote host using the
following?

snmpwalk -c wiband -v 2c localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582

You should get a bunch of valid, snmp output.  If not, try using version 1.
If you do get valid output, then SNMP/percSNMP are setup correctly on that
host.

Yep, percagent is clearly running per ps -ef.

    snmpwalk -c public -v 2c localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.3582

returns

    SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3582 = No more variables left in this MIB

To be honest, I'm stumped.  Have you disabled SELinux to see if that does
the trick?  At this point in time it's a problem with SNMP, the Dell Perc
agent, and/or the controller.  You might open a ticket with Dell to see if
there are any known compatibility issues with the software and your
specific card.

Message-ID: <277020fc0905011443o601d949bwaea7c055ca43186f@mail.gmail.com>

We're trying to use the check_mssql_plugin from Gerhard's site here:

http://www.consol.de/opensource/nagios/check-mssql-health

It seems not to work on 64 bit systems.  When we run it on our 64 bit
nagios host we get this error:

[root at monitorbox libexec]# ./check_mssql_health
--hostname=server.example.com --username=nagios --password=secret
--mode=list-databases
bumm Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at
./check_mssql_health line 1886.

Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
./check_mssql_health line 1902.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening?  I did have to patch and
build perl-DBD-Sybase from source, because the Makefile.PL in CPAN did
not support 64 bit systems.

Well, krikey!

SELinux is disabled so that isn't in play. I will get in touch with 
Dell, although their linux-poweredge mailing list (where I also asked 
the same question as here) has returned null.

I appreciate all of your help with this, James. Karma points for you!

Attached is a sample snmpd.conf config.

Just change COMMUNITY-STRING and the 192.168.1.0/24 settings to what works
for you.  If you are still having problems, then it's most likely your RAID
card is not supported by the version of Perc agent you downloaded.

Wow, that changed things big time.

Using snmpwalk locally this time resulted in 221 lines of output along 
the lines of

    SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3582.1.1.14.0 = INTEGER: -1

check_sasraid_megaraid says

    Megaraid OK - 2 logical disks, 6 physical drives, 1 controllers found

I think I'll compare the two snmpd.conf files that I've got. Maybe learn 
something.

Dude, you rock!

Thanks again!

Not something you missed, but the plugin author.  The plugin reads the
"ReportingEvents.log" file in the SoftwareDistribution folder, and
looks for a specific ID.  Unfortunately it appears that log isn't
rotated on each check, which means that you had, at one point, several
updates pending, and WSUS hasn't updated the status successfully
since.

Try stopping wuauctl on the server in question, and renaming the log
file.

net stop wuauctl
C:\windows\softwaredistribution\ReportingEvents.log <rename/move>
net start wuauctl
wuauclt /detectnow

Trigger another check, and see what comes back.  If you still see odd
issues, take a look at the log file, and search for the line that
looks like this:

  Windows Update Client successfully detected 0 updates

If this still doesn't work out for you, there are plenty of other
options on the http://nagiosexchange.org such as:

  http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=2547.html;d=1

Good luck

Message-ID: <c98caf810905012216t267c4af3y6e7c5d146d115eb3@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

After installing Nagios 3.0.6, I login to the web interface using
http://localhost/nagios.
When I attempt to restart the Nagios service using 'Process Info', the error
thrown is as seen below.

=-=-=
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. Read the FAQs on how to setup proper permissions.

An error occured while attempting to commit your command for processing.

*Return from whence you came
*=-=-=

I checked the directory permissions and here is the output.

*Output of 'ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var'*
drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 4096 2009-04-18 07:25 rw

*Output of 'ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/rw'*
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagcmd 14049 2009-04-18 07:25 nagios.cmd
=-=-=

Any idea what else need to be done?

Regards,
Jim

It appears that that service isn't running on my box (Windows XP  
Professional SP2 German version), although the log file exists.

> net stop wuauctl

Command results in (my vague translation from German to English)

<snip>
System error 1060 occurred.
The specified service is not an installed service.
</snip>

> C:\windows\softwaredistribution\ReportingEvents.log <rename/move>

I was not able to rename that file before I disabled the "Automatic  
Updates" service in Windows.  Is is launched (according to the service  
control panel) via the command "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k  
netsvcs".

> net start wuauctl

Same as above, although the error now reads

<snip>
The name for the service is invalid.
You get more help by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.
</snip>

> Trigger another check, and see what comes back.

Using the script from

Still, running the Windows Updates through IE doesn't show any pending

Any ideas?

It is possible that there are updates available, but none of these are "high 
priority", so they are not appearing when you go to the Windows Update 
website?
Did you check the website for "optional" updates?    It looks like some of 
the contributed plugins on nagiosexchange do not check the priority when 
displaying the list of available updates, so you get a list of every 
available update.

What user is your web server running as?  Going to assume something
like www-data, or apache.  In either case, the above permissions
wouldn't allow for access.  You could add your webserver user into the
nagcmd group to get permissions.

Hi Eric:

You're right - these update were in the categories "Software, Optional" and "Hardware, Optional".  After installing them manually, the they also disappeared from the list reported by check_nrpe.

It would now be nice to have the options to either exclude optional updates completely from the check or to exclude them from the "critical" and "warning" counters (i.e. if there are no important updates, check_nrpe still returns ok, but once there is an important one, the list of optional ones is included in the performance data).

Do you know the property of the object returned by the searcher interface which indicates if the update is important or optional (I hope there is one...)?  I would then tweak the script.

Thanks, Albrecht.

That being said, not entirely sure if the windows update service knows
the difference between a critical, and optional update when a WSUS
server is not involved.  You could use the code above, and look for
ones that have the AutoSelectOnWebSites set to yes/true/1.  This
should give you the same view as what you get on the website.

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=2547&view=File1;d=1

That should be a good base, you can probably just modify the search
criteria, and ass "and AutoSelectOnWebSites = 1"

Hi All,

Has anyone managed to figure out how to only show "hard" status' on the 
tactical display screen?

I hope so... otherwise I'd like to request this as a feature/wish list...

Hi

did you install libtds ? it wont work without it.

"MS-SQL started out as Sybase 4.2, and there are still a lot of similarities
between Sybase and MS-SQL which makes it possible to use DBD::Sybase to
query a MS-SQL dataserver using either the Sybase OpenClient libraries or
the FreeTDS libraries (see http://www.freetds.org)."

Question from Nagios newbie:

I need an access to the whole Nagios history to the complete log archive.
As Nagios (due to logrorating??) compresses the logs, I can't see for
example stats for the whole year or so. So I'm getting a message:

Error: Cannot open log file
'/var/log/nagios/archives/nagios-04-28-2009-00.log' for reading!


Is there a possibility or way to let the log files not to be compressed
and therefore the whole history available at ANY time, please?

Please help me.
Thank you.

Subject: Performance data issues
Message-ID: <24F98632-0727-47FB-B8D2-F53F1F557A81@karlsbakk.net>

Hi all

I have recently enabled process_performance_data in nagios.cfg and in  
the templates and setup pnp. this seems to work, but nagios doesn't  
seem to start loggin performance data until I force a check.  
Restarting it doesn't help much. Is this intentional? I have 100+  
hosts in nagios, and forcing checks for all of them and their services  
will take some time.

Also (it might be offtopic), does anyone know how I can include the  
javascript file to allow on-mouseover graphs with pnp? the docs are  
unclear on that.

Best regards

roy

Nagios does not compress rotated logfiles. If logfiles are compressed,
something else is doing the compressing. In that case, you need to
disable that (whatever it is) and undo the damage it has done.

Martin,
   were you able to solve this problem by changing check_result_reaper

Easy answer: you can't.

If you want checks to happen at predefined times and in a
predefined order - use passive checks.

Is it reasonably possible to make Nagios only send one notification
when a host or service hits a warning, but continue sending
notifications based on the notification_interval directive when it is
critical?

Subject: Acknowledgement after escalation,
	sends email to the escalation email?
Message-ID: <64616928-49E3-461F-9D7F-A254AD2EEC22@crystal.harvard.edu>

Hi all,

Okay, here's the problem.  I set up nagios to send emails to our RT  
system for certain problems.  For example:


define serviceescalation{
         host_name               server
         service_description     Uptime
         contact_groups          admins,rt
         first_notification      3
         last_notification       3
         notification_interval   0
         escalation_period       24x7
         escalation_options      c
         }



This worked perfectly today, 'server' failed the 'Uptime' service  
check, and on the third notification, it went into the RT system.
I logged into the Nagios web interface, and acknowledged the problem.   
Nagios then sent the acknowledgement email into RT, which opened a  
second ticket.
That shouldn't happen.  How do I disable Nagios from sending  
acknowledgement emails to the email that it escalated to.  I know I  
could have unchecked the box to send email, but I'd rather for Nagios  
to ONLY do what I told it to do, which is to send out the escalation  
on the third notification, and not try and be smart and send  
acknowledgements to that address too.


Thanks.

--Peter

You can do this using service escalations (except the interval for
ongoing critical notifications will be defined in your service
escalation definition, not in the notification_interval directive of
your service definition).

See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#serviceescalation
(especially note the escalation_options directive)

Jim

For your use of the escalation... For other uses, that acknowledgment  
e-mail is quite desired...

You can't. You can, however, filter out the $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ of  
'ACKNOWLEDGMENT' in the notification script you are calling for that  
contact.

And where did you tell nagios what notification types to send to the  
escalated contacts; that specifically restricted acknowledgements?  
Heh. It was told by the Nagios developer to send acknowledgment  
notifications to any contact that received a prior notification. This  
is very longstanding and generally desired behavior that currently  
trumps anything you think you've told nagios to do in that regard. ;)

Message-ID: <43BAB891D6D01742AFDEA3D62DCE9E5D2514CB@uwbb-cat2.unwiredbb.local>

Hi everyone,

When scheduling downtime, it asks to put in comments in the box and
select the time and what not. When you click submit, and it submits it
for processing, it puts all this data into the event log, but after it's
processed, the host comment only lists:

05-04-2009 10:31:13	(Nagios Process)	This host has been
scheduled for fixed downtime from 05-04-2009 10:31:01 to 05-04-2009
12:31:01. Notifications for the host will not be sent out during that
time period.	288	No	Scheduled Downtime	N/A	Delete
This Comment


It doesn't say who issued it or why (as listed in the comments field).
Is this normal behavior? If it is, can we get this added so it will also
add this information to the host comments area so that when someone goes
to look, it says who scheduled it and why? 

The way I have to find this information out now is by reading the event
log.

I understand this.  I just viewed it as I told nagios to send one  
notification at a specific point, so I was surprised when it started  
sending acknowledgement emails.
So there isn't a specific option to disable acknowledgments?


escalation_options      c

^^ implies to me, that it will ONLY send escalation emails on critical  
status.  I think there should be a field similar to this that allows  
enabling/disabling the acknowledgement email.

Either way, whether you agree that this is something that should be  
easily user-configurable or not, can you tell me specifically how to  
stop this behavior?


Cheers,
--Peter

Thank you so much - that indeed did the trick!  It's now working  
perfectly for me (with the exception of an ugly display of German  
national characters, but that's not important).  I already sent the  
modified version to the author, hopefully he will update his one on  
nagiosexchange.

Thanks again.
Albrecht.

I presume that you are currently passing the $NOTIFACTIONTYPE$ macro  
to your notification script in it's command{} definition (see the  
command pointed to by that contact's service_notification_commands). I  
don't know if you've created a special notification script to handle  
the RT integration but that script should compare the value of the  
NOTIFICATIONTYPE parameter to the word 'ACKNOWLEDGMENT' and not send a  
notification to RT if it matches.

If that notification command is simply calling /bin/mail or /bin/ 
mailx, you'll need to create a wrapper script to perform the test  
above before calling /bin/mail or /bin/mailx.

That's about as specific as I can get.

Subject: check_disk and CD/DVD in Solaris
Message-ID: <49FF4C58.3080201@gmail.com>

I have check_disk setup to do monitor all local disks so that I don't 
have to make edits everytime I add a new filesystem or mount point. 
Unfortunately, on Solaris, mounted CD's and DVD's show as local volumes 
and as 100% full. Unfortunately, check_disk (the stock one) is not a 
simple shell script that I can edit to throw in a "grep -v cdrom" line. 
I'm curious how you guys are handling this? Do you define all your 
filesystems manually for Solaris hosts? Are you using an alternate test? 
Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

BTW: please don't remind me of the joys of the open source community and 
how I can just edit the code. I'm a sysadmin with lots of perl and shell 
scripting experience, but no C experience so I'd be more inclined to do 
the work of manually defining all the filesystems to be monitored than I 
am to figure out how to edit the code. Of course, if one of you knows 
how to make the edit and wants to send over your .c file for me to 
compile, I wouldn't complain... :)

With this:

    >sudo -u nagios env -i /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -a "-L /var/sipenv-10.1.2.1/log/b2bua.log" -C python -c 1:1

I get the same result: the process is found.  As for the userid:

    >ps auxww | grep nrpe
    nagios     646  0.0  0.1  2568  1596  ??  Ss    4Feb09   6:49.40 /usr/local/sbin/nrpe2 -c /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg -d

Thanks for responding.  Any other thoughts?  I'm stuck and am considering writing
a python script to replace check_procs as a workaround.

It is normal behaviour, but you can see the information (and cancel
scheduled downtime) in the 'Downtime' screen.

I believe you can control this mechanism best if you use an eventhandler.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html

and check what macros might be useful to you.

There's a detailed section about integrating Nagios with ticketing
systems in the book "Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring" ISBN
9781597492676

hth,

Jim

Subject: Problems with service dependency
Message-ID: <c9c496260905050016rac7b937tab9b182986b20e95@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

Having some issues getting service dependency to work, when doing a
configuration check after modifying my settings, it never completes and
seems to hang at "Checking for circular host and service dependencies..."


This is my basic setup for dependency right now:
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_name                  Windows
service_description             NRPE Agent
dependent_hostgroup_name        Windows
dependent_service_description   CPU Usage,Disk Usage,Memory Usage,Remote
Procedure Call Service
execution_failure_criteria      n
notification_failure_criteria   c,u
}

Does anyone spot any errors?

Message-ID: <b8552ef40905050024m20b02ff1vbb264b47eea3a0ce@mail.gmail.com>

Nagios server: Red Hat Enterprise 4

Nagios version: 3.0.3 June 25, 2008

Monitoring: Windows Server 2003 machines.

Windows client on Windows server 2003 machines: NSclient++ (version 0.3.5.2
2008-09-24, platform: w32)



Some questions:



1. Time @ Nagios server & time @ Client (Windows server 2003) are the same
and notify if there's difference between them.

I don't know of any such plug-in that is capable of doing that, for example
that it records the time on a remote server and send it to Nagios, then when
Nagios receives it , than it should execute a script that would

compare the received time value of remote server to its local time and send
you the notification if those are different.



2. Monitor specific services (for example application's service)

a) Get notifications if a service is not in started mode.

b) Get notifications if there's CPU load above level given (this is related
to a specific service and not to the general cpu load).

I found out how to do this for the machine's CPU load (but not to a specific
service).



3. Get notification if a specific message appeared in the windows server
event log (warning and error).

Message-ID: <46EEEA5FAED9CA479556002BA9C27FD705C59DC1@iw50.iwbnet.ch>

Hi

 

I used with RedHat "service nagios stop/start" to manage the nagios server but I'll see that the stop is not enough because one process is running :

 

ps -ef|grep nagios

root     16729 16670  0 09:21 pts/1    00:00:00 grep nagios

nagios   27223     1  0 Apr24 ?        00:02:10 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

 

Which command to use to stop nagios properly??

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

service nagios stop

is the right way to stop it. Probably you have some issues with the
mananager script.

Paste here the output of

service nagios stop

and the output of

sh -x /etc/init.d/nagios stop

Message-ID: <abcb6e500905050150n5b012323q756f2d762bf053ae@mail.gmail.com>

Hello All,

In my archtecture I need to use check_by_ssh for remote checks. for some
plugins like http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles and many
others (not standards) when I  execute these checks on remote hosts using
check_by_ssh I have the following output :
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles not found , It seems it need to
have the script on the remote hosts.

Do you have any idea how to solve this issue please?

Many thanks
Kaouther

Hi,

Have you installed the plugin on the remote hosts ?
If no, install it and re-test your check !

Subject: Maximum length of plugin output
Message-ID: <4A000858.2040209@tugraz.at>

Hi!

Currently i struggle with the following: My plugins returns the line
below, containing _lots_ of info and also perfdata.



OK:  BB Temp is 34C,  Front Panel Temp is 25C,  MCH Therm Margin is
-32C,  Mem Therm Margin is -14C,  Fan 1A is at 3712 RPM,  Fan 2A is at
3538 RPM,  Fan 3A is at 3770 RPM,  Fan 4A is at 3712 RPM,  Fan 5A is at
4698 RPM,  Fan 1B is at 7030 RPM,  Fan 2B is at 7252 RPM,  Fan 3B is at
7548 RPM,  Fan 4B is at 7252 RPM,  Fan 5B is at 6660 RPM,  P1 Therm
Margin is -47C,  P2 Therm Margin is -53C|BB_Temp=34;;;
Front_Panel_Temp=25;;; MCH_Therm_Margin=-32;;; Mem_Therm_Margin=-14;;;
P1_Therm_Margin=-47;;; P2_Therm_Margin=-53;;;


But in the logfiles I see that nagios cuts the plugin output after "Fan
5B is at". This leads to NO perfdata. So, what is the maximum length of
plugin output Nagios is able to handle ? I did a quick search through my
config files, but did not findy anything appropriate.

Hi All, 

I am using Nagios along with pnp4nagios/rrdtool for reporting/graph.

I am able to view services dashboard for individual host. is it possible 
to view single graph for service/resource (i.e memory utilization) graph 
for all hosts/hostgroups ?

as of now every host has single graph for their services.but I want to 
view one single specific performance (i.e. Memory utilization)  graph for 
all hosts/hostgroups.

 I am currently using following versions

Nagios 3.0.5
pnp4nagios 0.4.13
RRDtool 1.2.19

Your problem is exactly what the output says : the script you want to execute was not found on your remote hosts, so you'll have to copy/install it on your remote hosts in order to execute your checks.

Hi

 

I used with RedHat "service nagios stop/start" to manage the nagios server but I'll see that the stop is not enough because one process is running :

 

ps -ef|grep nagios

root     16729 16670  0 09:21 pts/1    00:00:00 grep nagios

nagios   27223     1  0 Apr24 ?        00:02:10 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

 

Which command to use to stop nagios properly??

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Subject: NRPE Arguments
Message-ID: <c4ae53ee0905050654s3cc56a12w8ebf831afa3f3624@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could give a quick run-down of the security
issues surrounding argument passing to NRPE?

If my systems (including the monitoring server) are all going to be on
a trusted, internal network, and if I configure my NRPE agents to only
accept connections from my monitoring server, what other security
precautions should I take when using argument passing?

Cheers,
Chris

I'm going to guess that you're using nagios-2?

[nagios-2-src/include]$ grep MAX_PLUGIN *

objects.h:#define MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH			348	/* max. length of  
plugin output */

I expect that you can probably increase the value above within  
reasonable limits (say 1024 or less) and recompile with no detriment  
but YMMV.

According to What's New for nagios-3, this has been increased to 4K  
along with support for multi-line plugin output.

Not too sure, but suggest you have a look in http://nagiosexchange.org
and search there for "ntp".

NSClient++ does this very well.

Again, I believe NSClient++ will do this for you.  If not you can find
a plugin on NagiosExchange which does and run it under NSClient++

Again, use NSClient++ for this.

http://nsclient.org/nscp/

If you need a kick-start to get it all working, I can recommend
Wolfgang Barth's book "Nagios" published by No Starch Press.

You can do that sort of thing using DRRAW (
http://web.taranis.org/drraw/ ) to make graphs from your existing PNP
.rrd databases.

Hello Jim!
Thank you for the quick reply.

"NSClient++ does this very well." - Well, the question is how.
Sorry but I am only familiar with basic NSClient++ configurations and
didn't found documentation for more advanced features.

For example let assume I want to monitor if Messenger service (from
services.msc) is not started and get notification via mail.
NSCA is configured in the Nagios linux server ? how I do the service
related configuration in the NSclient++.
Where I need to configure it? In the ini file? What is the syntax? Can
you give an example for the line/code/configuration I need to add in
the NSclient? Pls be more detailed (remember I am a noob).

One more question ?
So I need to update all my NSClients in all my monitored servers if I
want the services mentioned to be monitored, right?
I can't configure it in the Nagios linux server , right?

Thanks for helping me with it.

All,
   I am looking for a good way to show trending of performance data.  I am
keeping all service and host check data in ndo database.  Are there any
software out there which possible works with cricket ndo2db and nagios.  As

Hi All I'm about to venture into Asterisk so I can use nag2ask, but before I go and install 
Asterisk has anybody got nag2ask working with Trixbox at all, just seems a simpler router for us 
to use instead of trying to teach our guys Asterisk then can you Trixbox's GUI

Thanks all

Ntt,
Here's an example from my nagios server that is checking mail services on a
windows server running nsclient++

/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg 

# Check Windows Server Services
define command{
  command_name check_nt_service
  command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v
SERVICESTATE -p 12489 -d $ARG1$ -l $ARG2$ -t 60
}

This checks the service state of a specified service with a timeout of 60
seconds (I give a 60 second timeout because some of our windows servers are
clear across the country and timeout have been an issue in the past)

/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg (We split up our servers, routers,
printers into separate config files)

define service{
  use				local-service
  host_name			MAILSERVER (whatever your server name is)
  service_description 	Merak Mail POP3/IMAP Service
  check_command		check_nt_service!SHOWALL!'Merak POP3 / IMAP'
  }


For for information run: ./check_nt --help | more in your libexec on the
server (wherever you put your nagios plugins)

Subject: [Nagios-users] ?????: Few questions (monitoring time, specific
service , event log).

Hello Jim!
Thank you for the quick reply.

"NSClient++ does this very well." - Well, the question is how.
Sorry but I am only familiar with basic NSClient++ configurations and
didn't found documentation for more advanced features.

For example let assume I want to monitor if Messenger service (from
services.msc) is not started and get notification via mail.
NSCA is configured in the Nagios linux server ? how I do the service
related configuration in the NSclient++.
Where I need to configure it? In the ini file? What is the syntax? Can
you give an example for the line/code/configuration I need to add in
the NSclient? Pls be more detailed (remember I am a noob).

One more question ?
So I need to update all my NSClients in all my monitored servers if I
want the services mentioned to be monitored, right?
I can't configure it in the Nagios linux server , right?

Thanks for helping me with it.

Subject: Multiple filters on cgis
Message-ID: <4A00726E.7090804@srce.hr>

Hello to all,

I apologize in advance if this is a known issue, but I wasn't able to 
dig out answers via archive's search engine.

Currently CGIs (version 3.x) enable filtering only based on a single entity:
- host
- hostgroup
- servicegroup
For example status.cgi?host=web.server&servicegroup=web_shop will take 
the last entity listed and show me all services in servicegroup web_shop 
on all hosts.

In addition, I'm aware that it is possible to filter further with 
host/service status type and properties. Even for that dropdown box 
would be nicer than guessing what individual code means.


Currently I solve this by creating servicegroups like 
"<host>-<servicegroup>" or "<hostgroup>-<servicegroup>" which allow me 
to get what I want on interface.


Could someone confirm that mixing of these filters is impossible? Or if 
there is patch available for this feature? Or if something like this 
will be implemented in future?


Thanks in advance,
emir

Subject: Hosts with dynamic IP addresses
Message-ID: <4A007757.30502@berkeley.edu>

I'd like to monitor a few user laptops in our environment.  They use 
wireless so they often get dynamic IP addresses.  Is there a way that 
Nagios can accept any connections, or, a range of addresses for a host?  
I don't have control of the DHCP server so I cannot assign a fixed IP 
address.

Subject: Nagios Performance
Message-ID: <8A3891628FB44140A55F89AD6D15E5CD@PCRoberto>

Hi all,
I have 10.000 check, 2300 host, 632 hostgroup 19xx host dependence, 7 
contacs and 2 contactgroup (no escaltion at the moment).
I sent alarm by email. Check is perl based for snmp query and ping.
My server is 4 processor Xeon 2.8GHz (32bit), 3GB RAM 5 HD 36GB SCSI 
(2xRAID1 System+3xRAID5 /usr & /var).
OS is Fedora Core 9. Nagios is 1.4.1 (it is old I know) with mysql for 
comment/downtime/hostext/serviceext/status.

When I exec status.cgi (but is the same for any other cgi) it takes more 
than one minute. When I check my configuration it takes more than one minute 
(real time by command 'time  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg').

MySQL is ok (mysqltuner is all ok).
Apache is OK (I have not more than 5 clients in a time)
No error in log. More than 400MB/sec for transfer rate from disk (I have 
tried with ramdisk with nagios/etc but its the same).

How can I improve my server's performance?

Thks
  Roberto

Message-ID: <699b436a0905051205h496fa398r6f13c86a0ec42c56@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Friends,

Is it possible to monitor a service i.e "exchange service" on the clustered
environment instead of monitoring it individually on each  clustered node.

Currently "exchange services are being monitored individually on each
clustered node.
FYI : The server is a Windows clustered environment.

Can i use check_cluster ??
 If i am not wrong check_cluster works only for Linux cluster. Is that
right??

Please advice me on what plugin to use  to achieve this.
Thanks

Why don't you use check_tcp on tcp port for network service offered by exchange (smtp25/pop110)?

Well known issue with 1.x and large installations (at least it was  
well known when 1.x was widely used)

Probably the structures referenced below and parsing of the host  
dependencies would be my guess.

Upgrade. It's the single best thing you can do. You're also unlikely  
to find significant resources for 1.x support here any more. I don't  
believe there are many left that used it, let alone remember it's  
specific idiosyncrasies.

Some of the structures used in nagios-1.x  were not optimized for  
large installations such as ours. nagios-2 included object lookup  
enhancing changes that would help with the status.cgi times (search  
for 'nagios chained hash patch'). That patch was originally written  
for 1.2 so you could probably apply it to 1.4 if you can find it and  
you can't upgrade. I saw significant improvements with the patch and  
again by moving to nagios-2. I may have still have the patch but I  
can't say for certain if I modified it from it's original form (it's  
dated 2003 ;) ). If you can't find it I can send it to you,  
unsupported and YMMV.

nagios-3 offers further improvements for large installations. I can't  
vouch for it as I haven't moved to it yet but the enhancements look  
very positive.

I know. I'm testing nagios3 and I think it's good, but I have done many 
change to original source and I need these in the new version, so it takes a 
lot.

Hi All,

I've been trying to find out if there is a 64-bit version of Nagios for Windows 64.  I've been looking at the internet and there isn't a lot of info about it.  I'm asking because our local Windows admins say it won't run on the Windows 64-bit, running on AMD (HP if that matters).  Any and all info is appreciated.

You can always try NC_Net.
IT offers remote configuration via Check_nc_net (compatible replacement for
check_nt)
it also offers NSCA.

However if you do not need Passive checks,
Check_nt should be able to test services
for the major Windows plugins. (NC_net, NSClient++,pNSClient, Opsys??)

The Nagios v3 manual lays out the basics on configuring Nagios for use with
check_nt.
IF using Passive checks typically all involved Hosts need to be configured
as well as the Nagios Server.
When using check_nt you have access to several things without any aditional
configuraiton on the Windows Host.
NC_Net offers several more commands through check_nc_Net without any
aditional configuration of the Windows Host.

I'm assuming you really mean something like nsclient++ to run on
windows, and not nagios itself, which won't run on windows (unless you
fancy running inside cygwin, and all that fun stuff).  At least last
time I checked anyway, I'm more than happy to be wrong.

http://nsclient.org/nscp/ has a 64bit versions for monitoring your
windows hosts.

Sounds like you need to monitor the clustered IP instead of the
individual IP addresses, and check for various services and their
states there.  The server will react, and respond accordingly because
the cluster services will handle the requests.  That being said, you'd
probably still want something to monitor the cluster services
themselves to see if there was a failure.

Check cluster will take the results of several hosts/services and
respond based on the thresholds defined.  For example, if you have
several web servers that form a web farm, each server is checked
independantly.   The check_cluster plugin takes the output of the
service checks, and gives you back an OK, WARNING, CRITICAL based on
your threshold.  See:

  http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/clusters.html

A similar example is provided there.

I've occasionally seen notifications for hosts in scheduled downtime,
but only in the few seconds after restarting the Nagios daemon.  I
don't think it's expected behaviour, no.

I've not bothered to find a fix for it, as it happens only rarely and
so long as I don't restart the daemon at three in the morning, it
won't bother anyone.

I would have the laptops send passive checks back to Nagios.  You can
use nsca if you have your own plugins or use NSClient++ which is also
capable of sending results to Nagios via nsca.

There is no way nagios can accept a range of ip-addresses for a host,
since it wouldn't know which of the presumably multiple hosts in the
range is responding to what.

Since you don't have control over the DHCP server, following Jim Avery's
advice and letting the laptops send passive check-results to your nagios
server is definitely the best solution.

Nagios itself doesn't run on Windows at all. For an agent that runs
just fine on 64-bit Windows, try downloading the NSClient++ installer
from http://www.op5.com/support/downloads/agents/op5-nsclientpp

Hi again...

Sorry to bother all but surely someone has wanted to get the tactical display 
to only show hard status' and not soft errors.

Has anyone managed to get this to work?

Thanks very much

i had been waiting for people to share their experience monitoring mission
critical systems but it seems there are not many people who do that.

thank you marc for sharing the information.

p.s. now i am counting on nagios developers to expand on this topic possibly
by giving some real life examples.

thanks

Does your network use dynamic DNS by any chance? If you do, you could 
use the laptop's DNS name rather than its IP address.

You may also be able to use a script that enumerates all the machines in 
the network. On Windows, look into the commands "net view /Domain:xxxx" 
and nbtstat -c as some starting points (Samba also has similar commands)

example, swap data, is exactly the same for each host. I have included a

Hello all,
What is the difference between checking a host is alive with a check in 
the host template (check_command check-host-alive), witch I have defined 
as a PING.
And creating a ping service applied to the host ? I did a test with both 
configurations, and didn't see a different behavior.
The only big advantage I have with the Ping is the graphics witch I 
really need, so I am wondering if I could disable host-alive check, and 
make it depend on the ping service check? BTW I use centreon.

cheers,

Yes indeed!

I haven't.  Although the Nagios Checker plugin for Firefox can do
this.  http://code.google.com/p/nagioschecker/

Hello Everybody

 

I have setup nagios for the Datacentre. Now I need to setup NDO for database
logging. Setup everything according to the DOC.

I got an error when I tried to start the daemon using ?
/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db-3x -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg.

 

?Support for the specified database server is either not yet supported, or
was not found on your system.?

 

What went wrong ? I have followed the official NDO documentation.

Thanks in advance

Host checks (especially for routers, switches, and other network
nodes) are important in determining reachability.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/networkreachability.html

If you have no other active checks for that node, then I would
normally recommend configuring ping as both host and service check, as
it just makes it easier to see what's going on in the Nagios cgis.  If
you are already actively monitoring other services (for example FTP)
on the host, then personally I wouldn't bother having ping as a
service check too (I'd just use ping for the host check).

You might want to use different parameters for the host check ping,
for example if you want the host check to send more pings with a
longer timeout than the service checks to make absolutely sure the
host is really 'down'.  On the other hand, you might want to make your
host checks really simple and quick so that Nagios doesn't get bogged
down doing host checks if you have a major network outage affecting a
lot of hosts.

hth,

Jim

Subject: escaping arguments - check_snmp_int.pl
Message-ID: <OF2D845BD4.0DABA12C-ONC12575AE.0041B348-C12575AE.00433210@caz.be>

Hi everyone,

I've hit a bit of a snag while trying to monitor the status of some switch 
ports.
I'm using the check_snmp_int script from Patrick Proy,
when i run /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_int.pl -H 10.2.0.111 -C 
public -n "5.(?:6|7)" -2 -k -M -w500,500 -c700,700 -B 
from the commandline (non-root user) it returns an OK status.

yet when i configure the command, and pass the regexp as an argument it 
says it can't find the interface:
 
Status Information:ERROR : Unknown interface 5.(?:6 
Performance Data:7) 

Do i need to escape certain chars in the regexp, or does nagios run the 
command differently?


some more info:
command definition:   check_snmp_int_v2 : $USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG3$ -2 -n $ARG1$ -B$ARG4$ $ARG2$ 
service definition:   check_snmp_int_v2!"5.(?:6|7)"!-k -M -w500,500 
-c700,700!public!

the only difference i see is just the order in which the parameters are 
passed.

Thanks,

Tom

Host checks are necessary for determining status and reachability of  
network hosts (through parenting) as well as suppression of all  
SERVICE notifications on hosts that are down; a single HOST  
notification would go out instead.

Do you mean the tests that aren't using NRPE like check_local_swap,  
check_local_load, check_local_procs and the like? Those aren't network  
aware tests. You need to copy them the remote machine and use NRPE to  
run them.

Why don't you use check_tcp on tcp port for network service offered by

yes , i am using this right now. Currently the below service check is done

My question is , is it possible to put it on the  clustered environment
instead of individually  ??

2)  Some cgi files doesn't exist under /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ like:

3)  I want to have some graphs for by example the <availability>! Has

Hi Jerome

Concerning your check_host, this can be anything you want. check_ping is generally used but for some hosts which run only apache server I'm using check_http. Linking check_icmp to check_host should be fine (I assume).

If statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and histogram.cgi don't exist, that means part of your installation failed. Try to compile again and make install and look for some error messages. if this doesn't change anything, try make install-cgis but this means you have an error somewhere during your configuration and/or compilation...

You'll have a link to an availability  graph for each service or host you will be supervising through the extended information page. Clic on the name of a service or host and then clic on the "availability report" link.

I sure am, and I'd be willing to bet that a lot of people here are. 
You've got everything "right" in your configs.  You likely missed alerts 
because of a queue backup, which is usually caused by trying to run too 
many checks.

Every time a service check times out, the host is immediately checked. 
With a default value of 20 for max_concurrent_checks and typical timeout 
of 10 seconds for plugins, it could take 20 seconds for the first non-OK 
state during a server reboot.  If there are multiple servers being 
rebooted, Nagios may never run enough checks while the servers are down.

See 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html#problem_scheduling
for more info.

> possibly by giving some real life examples.

What do you mean by real-life examples?

Generically, here's what I've done to make sure I'm promptly alerted 
when things go wrong:
- three facilities with a custom master + slave setup that has each 
slave checking their own facility's private LAN as well as all 
publically accessible corporate resources (public SMTP, DNS, etc...)
- customized self-promotion/self-demotion for the slaves if they lose 
contact with the master
- direct SMS and fallback email-to-SMS and email-to-email alerting for 
critical hosts and services
- sane configuration settings

The last one makes the most difference.  Because of the possibility for 
queue delays, you can't check everything all of the time.  Individual 
services are what's critical, not the hosts or everything they run.  If 
you have a "critical" machine that serves up a webapp, run check_http 
every minute, but there's no need to do the same check_ssh or check_ntp.

You don't need a special plugin. Anything that will return a non-OK  
state when the host is down is fine. A ping/icmp check is most common  
for this purpose and check_icmp will work fine.

This is in the FAQ. The GD libs are not installed or were not found at  
compile time. The output of ./configure will likely contain references  
to this as well.

Nagios has integrated availability reporting via the Availability menu  
option(s) though I wouldn't necessarily call it a graph. I think what  
you're looking for is the histogram mentioned above...

Sorry, just realizing.... The reason you don't have statusmap.cgi, trends.cgi and histogram.cgi is may be becaus you don't have one of the graphic library installed on your server. Check if you have libjpeg-devel, libgd-devel and libpng-devel installed on your server (if your running under Debian, it should be libjpeg62-dev, libpng12-dev and libgd2-xpm-dev or libgd2-noxpm-dev).

Hi Marc-Andr?

Thanks for your answers!
Here are the installed librairies on my RedHat Server :

# rpm -qa|grep libjpeg
libjpeg-6b-37
libjpeg-6b-37
# rpm -qa|grep libpng
libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_3.2
libpng-1.2.10-7.1.el5_3.2
# rpm -qa|grep gd
gd-2.0.33-9.4.el5_1.1

Is Ok??
And here're the procedure :
====================================================
./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=/nagios --with-command-group=/nagcmd
make install-init
make install-commandmode
make install-config
====================================================

Ok, On the left side, there is a column with reporting and availability. Then I must to selected Hosts,services, etc... then "create availability report" the results appears in a table with all the value in % but without graphs????

Linking check_icmp to check_host is, generally, a Good Thing(tm). I
assume we're talking filesystem links here btw. This is so because
check_icmp does some special magic if it's called by the name
check_host which can tremendously speed things up when services go
haywire but the host is still up and running just fine.

It's far from easy to implement, and especially so if you want to get
all the corner-cases right. Fortunately though, there are solutions
ready-made for this, although I don't know how most of them work.

There's one at http://www.op5.org (check under code library, I think)
that's a bit of a challenge to set up unless you're using RPM-based
system, but it's just pure awesome when it's actually up and running.

As per Marc, you need the 'devel' packages installed as well.  Did you
install Nagios via RPM or compile from source?  If the latter, I would
suggest you install Nagios from RH's yum repository, thay way, all the
library dependencies will be installed as well.

So, that's was my way :
./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include
--enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --prefix=/usr/local/nagios
--sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/nagios
--with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=/nagios
--with-command-group=/nagcmd 
make install-init 
make install-commandmode 
make install-config

Could I just make install-cgi now, it's not to late????

Hi All,
By default I have nothing in the templates directory of my PNP
installation so all my graphs use the "Default Template."
I noticed that this inverts the SWAP utilization graph i.e., the red and
yellow lines (warning/critical) are very close to the bottom of the
graph while the utilization shows as almost 100% (close to the top)
instead of very low is it actually is.
I have copied the check_swap.php from the templates.dist directory into
the templates directory, deleted all the existing swap.xml and swap.rrd
files, and restarted the npcd daemon.
I have also tried renaming check_swap.php to swap.php.
I noticed also that all my graphs use the Default Template and the XML
files for all of them have <TEMPLATE>check_nrpe</TEMPLATE>. As these
files are generated automatically, how do I get the SWAP graph to use
the SWAP template?
What else do I need to do?
I am using PNP version 0.4.13
Thanks.

Is it possible to trigger an alert by sending an email to nagios

I'm guessing it isn't a straight forward as that, just wonder if it is
doable,
and any links to examples would be cool too.

Thanks in advance

Since this is the first time you've installed Nagios (I assume) and you
probably haven't used it much, I wouldn't expect there is too much benefit
for you by installing Nagios from source.

I would suggest that you take advantage of RH's rpm management and install
Nagios from rpm.  Doing that will automatically satisfy all your
dependencies, install everything, and generate an Apache config and startup
script.  Plus, upgrades will be much simpler.  Plugins will also be a
breeze:

yum install nagios-plugins

Config files are stored in: /etc/nagios
Plugins: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
CGI: /usr/lib/nagios/cgi
html: /usr/share/nagios

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK ? 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w

Depends on what you're checking...

Assuming the numbers above are related to this service --

 From the RFC1213-MIB --

ifInErrors OBJECT-TYPE
     SYNTAX  Counter
     ACCESS  read-only
     STATUS  mandatory
     DESCRIPTION
             "The number of inbound packets that contained
             errors preventing them from being deliverable to a
             higher-layer protocol."
     ::= { ifEntry 14 }

For this example service, the number being returned is the number of  
input errors since last counter reset, roll or device restart for the  
interface with SNMP index 3. Note that this does not necessarily  
correspond to Port 3 thanks to the joys of various SNMP  
implementations and device types. You can identify the specific  
interface that currently has an index of 3 using 'snmpwalk -C public - 
v1 <ip of device> ifDescr'. You may need to substitute '-v2c' for '- 
v1' if you're using SNMP version 2.

Yes, absolutely, even on Redhat/clone systems. I happen to believe  
it's the best way to learn it and things are put in the 'right' places  
as far as the documentation, addons and our general expectations...  
Using packages created and modified by someone else else can lead to  
confusion and other issues.

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View: Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown, and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

         Alejandro

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:

define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P

	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w

You could use a template I developped some weeks ago. It works pretty well. 
Just copy it into the "templates" directory

I installed from scratch. That's why I told you to install the "devel" 
package (with 'yum install libjpeg-devel' for example). Once you will have 
installed every devel package I told you to, just compile again Nagios and 
install with 'make all && make install' and every thing should be working 
fine.

 Concerning the availability graph, this was the correct link but since you 
had'nt install libpng-devel nor libgd-devel, this couldn't work.

Interesting thread on Centreon. I evaluated it when it was Oreon 4 years ago
and it was horrid then, difficult to install, unpredictable and had very
little English information available. Looks like it has come a long way. Is
the English conversant community as large as the French now?

Has anyone compared Centreon to Groundwork Open Source? We are currently
using the Groundwork community edition and have considered going to the
Professional edition to gain log processing based alerts and dashboards. I
know Centreon has a dashboard, but I don't know if it's static or
customizable and I don't see any indication Centreon has the ability to
monitor and process log information. Groundwork is quite pricey for what
they offer, has its share of bugs, and frankly doesn't present information
as well as Centreon from what I can see in its screenshots. The Groundwork
status/action screens are NOT an improvement over base Nagios.

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con
nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la
PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you
monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and
blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working
properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
0 -m RFC1213-MIB
	notifications_enabled	0
	}



THANKS...
Mat?as Blanco.

You'll notice that the graph produced by the default template tells
you what check command is being run (in the bottom right hand corner
of the graphic).  This is the name you need to use for your template,
so in your case you will need to name your new template file
"check_nrpe.php".

It's not quite as simple as that though, because if you set up a
check_nrpe.php template which makes your swap graphs look lovely, it
might make all the other checks you run using check_nrpe look awful!
You might need to consider setting up a separate command definition in
Nagios just for your swap checks.  Make it the same as check_nrpe but
call it something a little different, for example "check_nrpe-swap".
Of course you'll need also to change your swap service definition to
use this command.  You can then rename your check_nrpe.pnp template to
check_nrpe-swap.pnp and it won't mess up all your other nrpe checks.

It's not necessary to remove .rrd or .xml files when you tinker with
the templates - just hit refresh in your browser when viewing the
graphs in PNP to see if the template is working.

hth,

Jim

Subject: service escalations on hostgroup/servicegroup combos
Message-ID: <4A01CA3E.2030000@createspace.com>

I am attempting to create service escalations that act upon a 
hostgroup/servicegroup combination.  I'd like to see escalations on 
services on certain hosts that are part of a particular servicegroup.  
I'm having trouble doing this.  I've tried a number of different ways to 
do this. 

I have tried using "hostgroup_name" in a service escalation, but left 
"servicegroup_name" and "service_description" undefined.  Doing this 
results in _no_ service escalations being created by nagios (generating 
no error messages or warnings, which is annoying in it's own right).

I have tried using "hostgroup_name" in combination with 
"servicegroup_name," which creates service escalations for every service 
in "servicegroup_name" with hostgroup_name having no noticeable effect 
upon anything.

I have tried using "hostgroup_name" (and "host_name") in combination 
with "service_description" wild-cards.  This results in an error from 
nagios.  Based on the "Object tricks" page, I _should_ be able to 
declare the following in a service definition   
   
    host_name  simpson

   service_description	*


When I do this,  I get an error about not being able to expand services 
on simpson, even though that host is currently being monitored in nagios 
with several services on it.

Has anyone configured their nagios in such a way (hostgroup/servicegroup 
overlap escalations), or knows of some way I might be able to achieve 
this setup?

Subject: NSclient++ Performance Counters Help ??
Message-ID: <CF757435B64CD64798912313712C7B3259141308E5@van-mail01.vand1.oppy.com>

Hello,

I am trying to use NSClient++ to monitor performance counters; previously I only used it to check disk space etc, but I am trying to make sure of the "-v COUNTER -l" switch more now as it is very powerful.

In my config I have:

define command{
command_name check_nt_exchange_messages_delivered_per_min
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120
}

However, when I try to test this from my box with:

./check_nt -H van-mail01 -s xr1p71c -p 12779 -v COUNTER -l  "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120

I get:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Also, on Nagios it reports as "null"; which I would assume is because of the above syntax issue.

How can I fix this?

The source I got my counter from is:
http://www.hackmyidea.com/wordpress/2007/11/14/misc-windows-checks-for-nagios/

Also, I noticed in my NSClient++ installation in the windows box (Exchange 2005/Win2003) there is a counters.defs file, should I be making use of that and entering the counters in there as opposed to calling them from commands.cfg ? If so, how could I use the ./check_nt to call a performance counter defined in counters.defs ? (assuming this is what its for?).

Thanks.

After some more trial and error, I got the command check fixed but there is still an issue.

The command I am sending is:

root at van-nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nt -H van-mail01 -s xr1p71c -p 12779 -v COUNTER -l  "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120

The output is: 0

When I check nsclient.log; here is what I have:

Subject: check_disk and CD/DVD in Solaris
Message-ID: <4A01D2BD.8090507@gmail.com>

I have check_disk setup to do monitor all local disks so that I don't 
have to make edits everytime I add a new filesystem or mount point. 
Unfortunately, on Solaris, mounted CD's and DVD's show as local volumes 
and as 100% full. Unfortunately, check_disk (the stock one) is not a 
simple shell script that I can edit to throw in a "grep -v cdrom" line. 
I'm curious how you guys are handling this? Do you define all your 
filesystems manually for Solaris hosts? Are you using an alternate test? 
Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Hi All/Jim/Marc-Andre,
Thanks for the response. I was actually able to figure it out while waiting - I didn't RTFM - not all at first :-)

Here is what I did in case someone else finds it useful (and if possible correct me if I am wrong):

# cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/check_commands
# cp -a check_nwstat.cfg-sample check_nrpe.cfg
# grep CUSTOM_TEMPLATE check_nrpe.cfg
CUSTOM_TEMPLATE = 0,1

# cd /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp
# cp -a templates.dist/check_swap.php templates/check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php
# /etc/init.d/npcd restart


Jim: The SWAP graph looks OK and I haven't noticed any changes in the other graphs (CPU, RAM, filesystems, PING, etc) - possibly because the check_nrpe defaults are the same as in the nwstat.cfg-sample file I created the check_nrpe.cfg from, and the check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php is only used for the SWAP graph while the default check_nrpe settings continues to be used for the other graphs?

Marc-Andre: I assume apart from just placing your SWAP template in the templates directory, I still need to create the check_nrpe.cfg and check_nrpe_check_dsk_swap.php files as I did above? Will try your template in a minute ...

Ach! I lost all my SWAP history by deleting the RRDs!

Thanks again.
Regards.

You could use a template I developped some weeks ago. It works pretty well. 
Just copy it into the "templates" directory

I think for some reason you think you have an ordinary double-quote
there but it's been replaced with some strange character which looks
like one but isn't.  I'd delete that section in you configuration file
and re-type it, maybe using a different editor.  If you're using a
word-processor of some sort to edit your config files, it might be
trying to insert left and right double-quotes rather than the
bog-standard ordinary straight-up ones.

Other than that, I can't see a problem with what you've put there
(although you might need another "\" or two to escape the backslash -
I don't have my Nagios system to hand so can't check for sure.

Jim

I use check_snmp_storage.pl from http://nagios.manubulon.com/ to
monitor Solaris (and various other) filesystems.  I usually monitor
each filesystem individually but sometimes use the regular expression
matching to bundle similar filesystems together.

I would love to be able automatically to pick up new filesystems as
you say (and it's possible using this plugin), but firstly it would
break the pnp4nagios graphing and secondly our Unix admins frequently
mount filesystems for test restores and suchlike and I really don't
want to be bothered with those.

That's my 2p worth.  There are lots of ways to skin this metaphorical cat.

Cheers,

Jim

I believe so.  Yes.

Subject: service escalation problems
Message-ID: <4A01D519.5090706@physics.ucsd.edu>

Hello,
I'm not new to nagios, however his is the first nagios installation i 
have done with nagios 3.x.  I've set up several service escalations in 
my services.cfg, they are being recognized and registered with nagios, 
however they are not actually doing anything.  Despite the escalations 
being there, i see each of my services spamming notifications every 30 
minutes.  Is there any additional options i need to enable in Nagios 
3.0.4 to get make the escalations effective.  Or is there any reason 
that when i run "nagios -v nagios.cfg" and i get this as output:

Nagios 3.0.4

So nagios clearly can see the 973 service escalations, they just don't 
seem to be working.  So it would seem my syntax is correct, so an 
example of one of my service escalations (they're all more or less 
identical for different services):

define serviceescalation{
    host_name        *,!Rambo, !localhost, !nagios, !t2gw04, !uaf-3
    service_description    condor_master_alive
    first_notification    1
    last_notification    2
    notification_interval    180
    contact_groups        admins
    }


define serviceescalation{
    host_name        *,!Rambo, !localhost, !nagios, !t2gw04, !uaf-3
    service_description    condor_master_alive
    first_notification    3
    last_notification    4
    notification_interval    1440
    contact_groups        admins
    }


define serviceescalation{
    host_name        *,!Rambo, !localhost, !nagios, !t2gw04, !uaf-3
    service_description    condor_master_alive
    first_notification    5
    last_notification    6
    notification_interval    0
    contact_groups        admins
    }


Any help/input/ridicule would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I did something else: I patched PNP so that it removes the
check_nrpe! prefix if it's there, then does processing as usual.
I've sent this (trival, four-line) patch to the PNP maintainer
but never got an answer :/

Where would you stop though?  Would you also remove check_nt and
check_snmp prefixes?  I appreciate you may find the patch useful and
forgive me if I've misunderstood, but I'm not convinced it's
necessary.

Jim

Hmmm.  I don't know if it's the cause of your problem, and I could be
completely wrong (sorry can't test because I'm at home) but the
purpose of an escalation is surely to notify an alternative recipient
if the first (ordinary) notification fails?  I would think if this
were so then having first_notification = 1 wouldn't make sense.  I'd
configure the service itself to send the first notification and only
use escalations for the 2nd or subsequent notifications.

Other than that I can't see any particular problem with your syntax.
I would however try setting the escalation_options directive
explicitly "just in case".

I don't know if, in the absence of an escalation_option directive the
notification options would be inherited from the service definition.
A common problem with those is accidentally to include the "n" option
which means send no notifications.

hth,

Jim

It is most useful to me, no doubt. Still I would have expected
that the original author noticed this issue. I suspect 90% of
Nagios users have *way* more usefully graphable NRPE/NSCP/SNMP
checks than "plain" ones.

Tobias

No I did not find any English documentation, further to that one of the
links in the instructions no longer works.
http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola.html

Does anybody else have any suggestions on how I can achieve Voice
notification.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the idea, i gave it a shot and it does not seem to be of any 
help.  I was under the impresion that service escalations were for 
taking the nag out of nagios by curbing its tendency to spam admins with 
notifications for large networks, or for specific services.  More 
specifically, if say i don't address a critical state because it's not 
important to me, i don't want to get hourly notifications.  I want a 
reminder after say three hours, maybe another after another three hours, 
and then i want all subsequent reminders to take longer and longer.  Now 
i set this up last time with nagios 2, and had zero issues.  I'm 
wondering if something has changed in nagios 3, or if there is some 
essential step i'm forgetting/missing.  If this continues not working, 
i'll just have to try host escalations, and see if i can do anything 
with those. 
Thanks,
Bruce

Basic question guys: 

Which file do you normally place your service dependencies in? 

It stated here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html
to place in objects cfg file which I thought placing it in my nagios.cfg????

But when I did, it complained about this error after running -v:
Error in configuration file 'nagios.cfg' - Line 2859 (NULL value)


Here's a sample of my definition:
define servicedependency{
       host_name                       ciscoasa-router
       service_description             PING
       dependent_host_name             ciscosw-router
       dependent_service_description   PING
       execution_failure_criteria      o
       notification_failure_criteria   w,u
       }

Please advise. 

Thank you!

Hi Chris,

First does the file /etc/centreon/conf.pm exist ?
It should have the database hostname, dbname, dbuser and dbpassword in it.

Who owns the /var/lib/centreon directory structure ?
The apache user that centreon runs as needs full rights to this directory and the directories below it.

These dirs should have been created by the centreon install, what version on centreon did you install and did the install run smoothly ?

Thanks,
Simon

I would put service dependencies in a file called something like
'servicedependencies.cfg'.

in nagios.cfg, you need a pointer to this new file, for example:

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/servicedependencies.cfg

The nagios.cfg file should only contain the main configuration file
options which you'll find documented in
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html

But ... I'm not convinced you should need service dependencies for
'ping' from one host to another.  Nagios handles this sort of thing
automatically if you configure the host parent relationships.  See:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/networkreachability.html

hth,

Jim

Hi, 

 

Anyone know what these messages mean? I've begun to add additional hosts

there's only 3 hosts...When I view host or service detail the number of
objects changes, and when viewing the individual hosts/services I get
the errors below, but if I hit refresh again the service/host
information is display....

 

Host Status Information Not Found!

 

Please help me on this.

Hi!
Please check if there is only 1 intance of nagios running. I had the
same behaviour when accidentially starting at least 2 instances of
Nagios. This screws things up..

Hi Ayotunde,

You need to create template file with name of  "<service command name>".php
(i.e. check_mem.php whatever command name you use) ,
 if this file doesn't exist in template dir, PNP will use default template.

default template for check_swap (in template.dist) shows swap free rather
than swap utilized, you need to modify template to show swap utilization.

Hi All,
By default I have nothing in the templates directory of my PNP
installation so all my graphs use the "Default Template."
I noticed that this inverts the SWAP utilization graph i.e., the red and
yellow lines (warning/critical) are very close to the bottom of the
graph while the utilization shows as almost 100% (close to the top)
instead of very low is it actually is.
I have copied the check_swap.php from the templates.dist directory into
the templates directory, deleted all the existing swap.xml and swap.rrd
files, and restarted the npcd daemon.
I have also tried renaming check_swap.php to swap.php.
I noticed also that all my graphs use the Default Template and the XML
files for all of them have <TEMPLATE>check_nrpe</TEMPLATE>. As these
files are generated automatically, how do I get the SWAP graph to use
the SWAP template?
What else do I need to do?
I am using PNP version 0.4.13
Thanks.

Subject: [Nagios-users] [nagios] Trigger alert via email

Is it possible to trigger an alert by sending an email to nagios
(passive check)?
I'm guessing it isn't a straight forward as that, just wonder if it is
doable,
and any links to examples would be cool too.

Thanks in advance

Hola de nuevo...

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand and participate in this subject.

I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference.

My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: 

iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7

(maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7)

defined as: "a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy".

The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work properly.

The command I defined for this was like this: 

define command {
	command_name check_port
	command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries
}

For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Hasta la proxima, 

      Alejandro

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

Cristian




************************************

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View:
Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown, and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

         Alejandro

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
0 -m RFC1213-MIB
	notifications_enabled	0
	}



THANKS...
Mat?as Blanco.

Hi Jim,

As per your suggestion i tried to configure it using DRRAW, but I am not 
able to implement it. So could you please send me some document or 
relevant URL so that I can implement the same.

You can do that sort of thing using DRRAW (
http://web.taranis.org/drraw/ ) to make graphs from your existing PNP
.rrd databases.

When you acknowledge a problem, there is a checkbox to send
notification.
Uncheck that box and it won't send an ack alert.

I'm sure this will benefit the others who thought of building this config in their Nagios, especially for a newbie like I... :-) 

Cheers, 
DB

I would put service dependencies in a file called something like
'servicedependencies.cfg'.

in nagios.cfg, you need a pointer to this new file, for example:

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/servicedependencies.cfg

The nagios.cfg file should only contain the main configuration file
options which you'll find documented in
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html

But ... I'm not convinced you should need service dependencies for
'ping' from one host to another.  Nagios handles this sort of thing
automatically if you configure the host parent relationships.  See:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/networkreachability.html

hth,

Jim

In this case the daemon had been running for 3 days.

This was on a host that had just been retired, I turned it back on to get a file off of it and that's when the alert was sent, it had been offline for a while.  The interesting thing was that Nagios only sent a UP alert when I shut it down again (a few minutes later) the alerts for down were not sent (as would be expected).  It does not appear to be a major problem (no one else responded), I'm not going to worry about it too much.  Thanks for your feedback.

Subject: Escalations Info
Message-ID: <be136cd0e56046bb885674d0aa27a7ee.craig@hooters-uk.com>

Hi all, I'm trying to understand the escalation process in Nagios but think I'm missing a trick 
somewhere, this is what I want to do.

If I have a service that is down I would like 3 email sent out and then after the 3 mails I would 
like this to escalate this to send out SMS sent and then stop.

So in my escalations I have the following but unsure if it?s the correct format.

First escalation: 3 because as I understand it this will occur after 3 mails have been sent.
Last Escalation: 3 because I want 3 SMS sent after my 3 mails.

Is this the way to do it or have I not got the correct understanding of it

Thanks all

Craig

I don't use escalations but my understanding is the numbering is  
sequential --

Notification number 1 - email
					2 - email
					3 - email
					4 - First Escalation - sms
					5 - sms
					6 - Last Escalation - sms

Asunto: RE: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hola de nuevo...

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand
and participate in this subject.

I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you
should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk
on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help
of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference.

My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port
in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I
positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was
significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: 

iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7

(maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7)

defined as: "a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt
on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy".

The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value
for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work
properly.

The command I defined for this was like this: 

define command {
	command_name check_port
	command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O
iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries
}

For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a
more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Hasta la proxima, 

      Alejandro

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con
nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la
PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

Cristian




************************************

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check
with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search
for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View:
Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown,
and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you
monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and
blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working
properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

         Alejandro

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
0 -m RFC1213-MIB
	notifications_enabled	0
	}



THANKS...

You should subscribe to nagios-devel. There's some discussions going 
there. :)

Subject: Ndoutils bad performance
Message-ID: <aa429f2a0905072027i403d5ec4g4b484cdbaa051919@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone.

I am using  Nagios 3.0.6 with ndoutils 1.4b7 and MySQL 5.0 on a Linux
machine CentOS 5.2 (2.6.18) with 2GB ram and x64 Intel Xeon 2.50GHz
processor in the laboratory environment.

I chose to use the ndoutils to maintain historical information aboutchecks
on the database (tables nagios_servicechecks and nagios_hostcheks) and
Nagvis to use the graphical representation of my network.

The functional tests were good, but the project got to the point where I had
to do a benchmark with a number of 7,000 services, simulating my production
environment.

Loading broker ndomod but without running the ndo2db daemon I have a good
performance of service checks with almost 95% of services being out in the
window of 5 min and a check with low latency. Important emphasize that all
services are active (not passive) with check_interval of 5 minutes.

When I run the ndo2db daemon, where it initialize a unix socket and starts
operations in the database, I get a considerable loss of check performance
of the service with only 9% of services being handled in window of 5 min,
high latency of checks and CPU iowait counter between 90% and 100%. Services
to be processed by the Nagios daemon in 5 min are processed with delay of up
to 1 hour.

How MySQL is on the same machine, it did the tuning (buffer, threads, etc.)
and applied additionals table indexes.
As test I changed the nagios database schema for the "blackhole". Thus the
bank accepts connections and operations (select, insert, delete, ...) but
not recording the data on disk. The iowait continued high with bad
performance. I do not suspect most of the database.

I noticed that the daemon ndo2db uses only 1 connection to the database to
various operations per second, each operation is awaiting the end of the
previous run. What I find particularly bad.

Question: someone uses the facilities of ndoutils with the database in large
nagios installations (> 1500 hosts> 7000 services) without performance
problems to give me help ?

Nagios settings are below.

I followed some recommendations for the tuning of the document nagios

Subject: Multiple alerts from one script (Windows Eventlog
	monitoring)
Message-ID: <83EAEFA90AFC46168F94E14E01C18464@privead6996662>

Hello everyone. Started testing Nagios since last February, and am very much
please with the functionality. 

I currently have a pilot Nagios implementation, monitoring about 100 Windows
2003 servers. I have one WinXP client, installed with a NSClient++ agent.
All checks are executed remotely from the WinXP workstation, which acts as a
proxy. My servers are agentless. 

Now I have created a vbs script to collect entries from the Windows
eventlog, alerting on filtered errors, warning, eventsource, eventide, etc.
For each defined filter I create one Service in Nagios (eg. I have one
service checking for Antivirus events, another service checking for
Printserver events, one service checking for DNS events, etc.)

Each run of the script could report on multiple events. At the moment the
script creates one single alert, showing multiple events. 

However, I would like to 

A.	have one alert generated for each unique event (in order to use the
notification mechanism). If possible I would like to implement an
event-database, where I would be able to handle each unique alert. Something
similar to MOM, where a count of each unique event is displayed, and as long
as the event is not yet closed no new notifications are being sent out. 
B.	In the end, I would like to implement some module, that will create
a ticket in our Ultimo helpdesk system, for each new alert generated. 

Is this feasible with a combination of NSCA and Nagios Eventdb  ? I have not
yet been able to get the Eventdb running properly yet, so at the moment I am
unable to assess the value of this tool. Also with NSCA I have just started
playing. However, after some time I started getting NTVDM errors, which
would only resolve with a reboot from my proxy.Th built-in NSCA
functionality in the NSClient++ will only allow me (or so it seems) to run
one instance of every defined script at a regular interval.

Has anyone implemented something similar yet, and how did you get everything
up and running ? 

 

Thanks in advance for feedback,

Mike

Dear all,

I have a remote server monitored using NRPE. Recently what I found was when my LDAP server went off, I was given a "CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout
after 10 seconds." . This could have been the cause had nsswitch.conf in the box with NRPE installed has hosts queried via LDAP as well. But
that isn't the case. Can there be any other reason? Any one ever came across this situation.

Dear Chethan,

You actually don't need a particular document for the migration. Just a few steps to be followed.

~ Keep intact the /usr/local/nagios/share , /usr/local/nagios/etc/  and /usr/local/nagios/var folders. They all need to be the same.
~ Check with all the plugins that you have installed in the older nagios server.
~ Some plugins that are installed in the older server might not be installed in the newer one, because of some version differences and
dependencies. Search options for those.
~ Check if the version difference and the features implemented/deprecated in nagios effects your setup.
~ Install the nagios in the newer server and replace the above listed folders and plugins. You are good to go.

Hi All, 

I have started windows resource monitoring using Windows NRPE, I don't 
want to use snmp and NSclients also. 
I want to check swap utilization rather than swap free, however I have got 
everywhere check_swap.exe which gives free swap.

I have got one exe which gives memory utilization/Virtual memory/page 
memory utilization, but not sure what should be consider as swap 
utilization ? I have downloaded this from below URL:

http://www.stic-online.de/stic/download/18/check_hugemem.zip

please refer above exe syntax 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>check_hugemem.exe -h

        check_hugemem -t=virtual -warn=80 -crit=90
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you please let me know which should consider ( -t=virtual, -t=page) as 
swap utilization in above exe.

Hi all !

 

I am looking for a method to control many internal server entities like:

-          Temperature

-          Disks (how can we check them when are configured in Raid 1 or
Raid 5 ??? )

-          Fan

-          Power supply

-          Etc.

 

I am performing some test with IPMI (on dell servers) and related
applications like ipmitool and ipmiutil (very similar), but I am not able to
check everything I'd like (for example.disk health)

 

Do you use these tools/features ?

 

How do you control disk health?

 

Regards

Marco

Andy,

I am unable to telnet to the port from the Nagios server.

I checked netstat -an and the connection is established. I am able to
telnet from windows server to the Linux server.

What connection, exactly, do you show as "established" with netstat -an? 
It can't really be the one you are talking about, because that never 
connected.

In any case, you would want to look for LISTENING rather than 
ESTABLISHED in the output for netstat -an. The local address on the left 
should say something like 0.0.0.0:xxxx (where xxxx is the port number). 
If it says 127.0.0.1 then NSClient++ is not listening on the Ethernet port.

If you don't see an entry that listens on the correct port, then 
double-check that NSClient++ is running.

If you do see an entry to listen on the correct port, try running nestat 
-anb . This will tell you which program is actually doing the listening. 
If it isn't NSClient++, you found your culprit. That's not likely, though.

If netstat -anb shows NSClient++ as listening correctly, you almost 
certainly have a firewall issue.

This means exactly what the error message says: that there is already 
another program using port 5667. Odds are that nsca is already running 
on your computer; maybe it got started as a daemon on system startup.

Hi Kevin,

The output netstat -anb looks like this.

TCP    0.0.0.0:****   0.0.0.0:**      ESTABLISHED     ****
 [putty.exe]


Where in left 0.0.0.0:**** is my windows server along with port and the
right is the Linux server along with port. Is it not correct?

It may well be correct, but is a completely different setup! You have an 
SSH tunnel; that's a rather critical piece of information. You have an 
SSH tunnel from the Windows machine to somewhere else, instead of having 
an NSClient++.

Maybe you meant to do a remote port forwarding and instead set up local 
port forwarding.

Subject: Nagios Monitor Server, and NRPE clients,
	giving funny results
Message-ID: <C41B5F52D530C94ABC153C9250AB8086C84A12@ra.impactteachers.local>

Dear All,

I'm trying to get my Nagios instance to behave properly! It seems to be
monitoring my servers just fine, but for some reason, all my servers,
which are different from each other show the same swap space, and the
same free disk space to within 10 megs.

Now the above tells me that there is a config error somewhere. In order
to test this, I log into my monitor server, and issue the following
command;

./Check_nrpe -H client_ip -c check_disk 50 80

My understanding tells me that the following happens

*	The check_nrpe plugin on the nagios monitor server runs, and
accesses the client at client_ip
*	It initiates its local check_disk plugin with the parameters of
50 and 80.
*	This causes the check_disk plugin on the client to run, as if
typed locally in this manner check_disk -w 50 -c 80

Running check_disk 50 80 on client_ip returns data on the disk state
Running ./Check_nrpe -H client_ip -c check_disk 50 80 on Nagios monitor
server returns unknown argument

I cannot figure out what is causing this discrepancy - check_nrpe -H
client_ip returns Nagios version so I know the communication works.

Any help will be appreciated

Kind Regards,
Mr Gabriel

I configure the Dell OpenManage agent to send SNMP traps to the Nagios
server, then use NagTrap to process them.  I'm not 100% sure if this
will give you everything you are asking for though.

What is the configuration command of check_disk of the nrpe  in the clinet machine ?

Did you setup the nrpe with the support-args when you complied it ?

if not , the you will not be able to pass arguments to the nrpe executor , but will have to define 
the exect execution of each command in the nrpe client side.

Hi all.

First of all, let me say I'm not writing this post for Ethan's sake,
but because I'm a member of the Nagios Community Advisory board and
I feel this is information the community should take part of.

Secondly, Ethan's under quite a bit of stress right now. If anybody
wants to cheer him up, send him a postcard or a picture of a screen
showing Nagios. He told me once it would be quite cool to get such
postcards but he never found an opportunity to ask for it. I can't
think of a better time than now ;-)

The address to Nagios Enterprises is
Nagios Enterprises, LLC
P.O. Box 8154
Saint Paul, MN 55108


Now read on and, in the words of The Hitchhikers Guide to the
Galaxy: Don't panic.

It's really the input from the community that matters the most. I *am*
a developer, and as a developer I applaud the effort to create a better
product, but as a human being I really don't like the way it's being
done.

It's been discussed quite a lot on the nagios-devel mailing list.
The facts so far seems to be thus:
* Netways registered "Nagios" as a trademark in Germany last year.
* The Icinga team is managed by Bernd Erk, who is also the chief
  programmer of Netways (to me, this makes it seem as if Netways
  instigated the fork).
* Ethan has been absent from the community for too long, stating legal
  issues against Netways for trademark violation as the reason for this.
* The primary reason stated for the fork is that the Icinga team feel
  that development isn't being done openly enough.
* Some german nagios-tribute sites claim to have received email from
  Nagios Enterprises requesting that they add a paragraph on their page
  stating that they're not affiliated with Nagios Enterprises in any
  way, and this has caused bad blood in the community (I have no details
  about this, and can therefore not give any).
* The icinga team has released no sources (ie, making a *worse* mistake
  than they feel Ethan is doing, who at least keeps his source repo
  publically available).
* The roadmap for Icinga focuses mainly on 3rd party addons that could
  easily have been created *without* forking.
* Some prominent developers and community members (no, I won't give
  names, but I'm one of them) think this is primarily an attempt from
  Netways to usurp the Nagios community.
* The german community developers that have responded on the nagios-devel
  list seem honest about their desire to create a better product.
* The development method of the Nagios core *will* change in some way.
  More on that later in this mail.

Later, it appears, is now.

So far, we ("we" being originally me and Ethan, and two emails later the
community advisory board, which presently consists of Ethan, myself, Ton
Voon, Alex Burger and Thomas Guyot-Sionnest) have discussed (nothing is
decided) increasing the number of people with commit access to the nagios
core repository.
I have been asked to join this team, and I've suggested two others whom
I feel can add value to the development process. I won't name any names
since neither have accepted or declined yet.

Me and Ton Voon argued that it would be a good idea to have all tecnical
and socio-technical (ie, patch-submission alternatives) on nagios-devel
instead of on a hidden list where a large part of the community have no
insight into the development process. Ethan hasn't responded to this yet,
but that's not so surprising as it was 2AM in Minnesota when me and Ton
wrote our emails, and it's currently 5AM (I think).

>From what I've gathered from the discussions, it seems we agree on
incorporating Icinga patches into Nagios if they hold good quality and
add value to Nagios. Since many of the developers on the Icinga team are
quite good programmers, this should benefit Nagios rather quickly.
To make it easier to incorporate patches from the Icinga team, we have
also discussed moving the core Nagios repository to git from CVS. Read-
only users won't necessarily see any changes at all, as there already
exists a cvs-server capable of serving git repositories. For tarball
users and software distributions, it has zero impact.

Anything apart from the above that's been going on is either loose
speculation, bad research or misunderstanding on my behalf or relates
to information I haven't seen. I may also have missed something, in
which case I'm sure someone will point out my mistakes.

Don't be. Well, be, but reserve some gratitude for yourself for using
it. Without a userbase, a project is just an academic exercise with as
much real value as a bucket of sand in a desert.

Oh, and send a postcard :)

Dear Chethan,

Yes, replacing the files will work without doubts. I myself have had 3 migrations in the past :) . To check with the plugins just migrate the
configuration files and the /usr/local/nagios/share directory to the new server and run it.

If there are some plugins missing you will get a CRITICAL error stating "plugins out of bounds" you can then digg into that particular service
check, the command and then the plugin to which it is associated.

Well by farth its the mailing list that gives you all set of helps.

Gabriel 

I believe you may be confusing the two components .
Nagios is the core system submitting requests and gathering the answers from the clients and 
network.
NRPE is a client agent installed on the individual server being monitored from the nagios - and 
AFAIK there is no rpm for it , you can download it from the nagios site -> addons 	
http://www.nagios.org/download/addons/

Please read the documentation about the NRPE and see how to set it up to your needs .

Subject: Nagios 3 ACK author
Message-ID: <3B540667-800B-4ADB-ABCE-3994FA3E1919@wunderloop.com>

Hi everybody,

a few words before:
-> we're running a Nagios 3 installation
-> logins are disabled - everybody is nagiosadmin per default (only  
internally reachable)

Now I'm searching for a possibility to force the users to enter their  
name when they acknowledge a problem.

Currenty the author name is set to the default login per default  
(nagiosadmin).
Some people leave this name in there and we can't see who has ack'ed.

Is there any way to leave the author name empty that Nagios rejects  
the ack without entering a name?

Thanks a lot,

Sven

Does nsca run in a chroot jail? I'm not sure if it can do that.

If that's the case, nsca may think that /usr/local/nagios is really the 
root of the file system, and anything above that directory is 
essentially hidden. In that case, you'd have to change the nsca.cfg 
configuration to use /var/rw/nagios.cmd (or strip out whatever the root 
of the chroot jail is).

I configure the Dell OpenManage agent to send SNMP traps to the Nagios
server, then use NagTrap to process them.  I'm not 100% sure if this
will give you everything you are asking for though.

Jim

Subject: Nagios Monitor Server, and NRPE clients,
	giving funny results
In-Reply-To: <200905081800.28214.assaf.flatto@ssp-intl.com>

I get the concept, NRPE is installed on my client servers, and nagios
itself is installed on ate server designated the monitor server. This
server itself also has NRPE installed as it's monitored by a separate
nagios install, but that's above and beyond this issue. I've been told
that I cannot pass arguments to NRPE from the monitor server. For
example, check_nrpe -H client_IP check_disk - is the most that I can
issue on the monitor server. I guess this then means that in the *.cfg
files on nagios, everywhere it says check_nrpe!check_disk - there should
be no arguments after it?

If this is the case, then I think I found where the guy I replaced made
a mistake!

The simple way is to create per-user accounts with admin rights and
then create contacts with the same names as the usernames you set.
The difficult way is to hack the CGI's and recompile.

Hi

does the command_file parameter in your nagios.cfg point to /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd?

Betreff: [Nagios-users] NSCA - Command file does not exist

Hi all,

When I send a packet to ncsa server this not processed.

In /var/log/messages:

Command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' does not exist,attempting to use alternate dump file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump' for output

But nagios.cmd exists and the permissions are good.

I guess you need to look in /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg:

  # LOCK AUTHOR NAMES OPTION
  # This option determines whether users can change the author name
  # when submitting comments, scheduling downtime.  If disabled, the
  # author names will be locked into their contact name, as defined in Nagios.
  # Values: 0 = allow editing author names
  #         1 = lock author names (disallow editing)

  lock_author_names=1

And configure Nagios so that people will login using their own username.

hth,

Jim

That is how I have mine set up Craig and it is working as follows:

Alerts 1, 2 and 3 are emails, then 4, 5 and six are SMS and no emails are
sent.

However after that it reverts back to sending mails again.

I think you may not fully understand how NRPE works - check_nrpe just 
tells a client to run a predefined check.


In your scenario, with a typical NRPE setup, there would be a check on 
the Nagios server :

define command {
         command_name    check_remote_disk
         command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe2 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 
check_disk -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}


And a corresponding entry in the client nrpe.cfg:

command[check_disk]= /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c 
$ARG2$

Now to actually make it check:

define service{
         host_name               server.example.com
         service_description     Disk Space Check
         use                     generic-service
         check_command    	check_remote_disk!50!80
}


On the Nagios host, this check is expanded to `check_nrpe2 -H 
server.example.com -c check_disk -a 50 80`, which  is seen by the NRPE 
daemon, and exanded to `/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk -w 50 -c 80`.

Even if you can't pass arguments to the client NRPE because of policy or 
security reasons, you can still pass arguments on to the client-local 
check scripts with a few minor changes.

On Nagios:

define command {
         command_name    check_remote_disk
         command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe2 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c 
check_disk_default
}

define service{
         host_name               server.example.com
         service_description     foo.txt file age
         use                     generic-service
         check_command    	check_remote_disk
}


And finally on the client nrpe.cfg:
command[check_disk_default]= /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_disk -w 50 
-c 80

The only real tradeoffs to doing it this way are relating to templating 
and configuration centralization, so the hit is restricted to management 
overhead.

I'm trying to find a way of letting our users acknowledge their own servers faults without the 
need to log in to Nagios, I have seen that there are remote commands you can issue which allow 
this to happen, but this is where I need a little instruction on how to use them.

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=39

In the Nagios book I have been reading it mention's the use of Ticket Systems and making sure that 
Nagios can integrate with them and when I goggled the question the one of the results I got was 
OTRS.

I guess that means I can raise a ticket by injecting Nagios info into it, but would I be able to 
use ACK's from within too, if not do you know of a solution that could do this.

Thanks

Craig

I configure the Dell OpenManage agent to send SNMP traps to the Nagios
server, then use NagTrap to process them.  I'm not 100% sure if this
will give you everything you are asking for though.

Ok , but IPMI is a standard while OpenManage is just for Dell Servers ....

That's true and in an ideal world I agree, but often you will find
that the tool provided specifically by the manufacturer to monitor the
hardware which they designed will give you more detail than the open
more general-purpose one.  That's not alway the case though of course,
sometimes the manufacturer's tools are a pile of junk!

Me, I use whatever will get the job done.  I inherited some servers
which already had OpenManage installed so I used it.

Cheers,

Jim

And it appears that first result has not been updated since 2002.  Is
the failure detection feature just a vestigial organ that never
finished developing?

The "-s=ERROR" is being POSTed because you're missing an argument for 
-P, making Nagios interpret the rest as the required string for -P.

HTTP reply 200 means that the webserver found the page you requested .
if you want to get an ERROR you should either point to a non existing page , which will give you  
the  404 error , 

in the example you provide it seem you are trying to submit some string to the jsp and expecting it 
to return an error , but you are not submitting any string .

In this command line, "-s=ERROR" will be interpreted as an argument to
the "-P" option, see the "--help" output:

$ check_http -h | grep -A 1 -- ' -P'
 -P, --post=STRING
    URL encoded http POST data

Without the "-P" option (or with an appropriate argument to the "-P"
option), things should work as expected:

$ check_http -H www.nagiosplugins.org -P -s=ERROR

Hi,

thanks for the replies but we don't want to create user accounts for >  
30 people if it's not absolutely neccesary.

So the auto-login is the only way so far...

I do not understand you right...
I try to explain more detail.

On some site works some jsp what check inner logic of site and return in 
body OKEY or ERROR.

I what to make a check_http and IF i got in page body word "ERROR" - 
then make check critical IF in page body i got "OKEY" - return OK.

As I understand -s= - it is what I expect in page body.

Or I not understand it right? :-)

Subject: check_by_ssh error: Remote command execution failed:

Message-ID: <4A0452E2.6020101@cbio.mskcc.org>

	I'm not finding much current documentation on check_by_ssh -- does it work?

	I have set up the nagios account with /bin/sh as its shell on 2 Linux 
Nagios servers and several clients (RHEL/SuSE/Sol10). I installed 
nagios-plugins-1.4.13 on the clients, and set up public key trust for ssh.

	Unfortunately, Nagios remote checks via check_by_ssh fail from both 
servers to all clients. Here's the debug transcript trying to 
check_disks on jean (Solaris 10):

No, you're right about -s, but you command is being parsed as:

./check_http -v -H example.com -u /some.jsp -P "-s=ERROR"

because you're missing an argument for the -P flag.

Change it to:

./check_http -v -H example.com -u /some.jsp -s=ERROR

and it will work as you expect.

Hello,

When i made an snmpwalk to a ip computer there is no response.
The snmpwalk to a switch,router or printer works ok.

Does any body know the reason?

Hola de nuevo...

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand
and participate in this subject.

I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you
should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk
on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help
of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference.

My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port
in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I
positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was
significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: 

iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7

(maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7)

defined as: "a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt
on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy".

The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value
for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work
properly.

The command I defined for this was like this: 

define command {
	command_name check_port
	command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O
iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries
}

For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a
more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Hasta la proxima, 

      Alejandro

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con
nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la
PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

************************************

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check
with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search
for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View:
Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown,
and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you
monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and
blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working
properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Asunto: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:
------------------

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w
0 -m RFC1213-MIB
	notifications_enabled	0
	}



THANKS...
Mat?as Blanco.

I've been running Centreon for quite a while now under Solaris 10. It  
was a beast to setup correctly at first but once that hurdle was taken  
it's been smooth riding. I am still running 1.4 and Nagios 2 but I am  
planning to go to Centreon 2 and Nagios 3 in the near future.

Thank you - it is works.
But last strange thing - check returns OK if I expect ANY letter of 
"OKAY" word.

./check_http -v -H example.com -u /some.jsp -s K  -- returns OK and so 
on. Bug?

Message-ID: <699b436a0905081113p79e3c9b3h269413ea75d84a48@mail.gmail.com>

In order to monitor the remote linux server we are using check_by_ssh as
root. I know it is not advisable to use it as root , but we are in a
transition to NRPE slowly which uses nagios.

Here's what i did :

1) As root copied the id_rsa.pub to the remote server's  root user's .ssh
directory and pasted it to the authorized_keys .

2) Then did ssh <remote server ip> and was able to login without password.

3) Then excecuted the check command remotely:

check_by_ssh -t 30 -l root -H <remote server ip> -C
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w10,15,20 -c15,20,25"
OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00,
0.00|load1=0.000000;10.000000;15.000000;0.000000
load5=0.000000;15.000000;20.000000;0.000000
load15=0.000000;20.000000;25.000000;0.000000

check_by_ssh -t 30 -l root -H <remote server ip>  -C
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_uptime"
UPTIME OK - System up for 6 HOUR(s) and 38 Minute(s)
 Looks perfectly fine!!!

But from the Web interface i see this :

Remote command execution failed: buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes
129 than in buffer 97

I am clue less . Please advice me on this .

This tells me that you're most likely not monitoring those through  
NRPE on the remote machines. I suspect that this is the value for your  
nagios machine. Config examples would help clarify.

Correct.

Incorrect. check_nrpe does not pass arguments to the remote NRPE  
daemon unless --
	- it was compiled with the --enable-command-args flag
	- dont_blame_nrpe is set in nrpe.cfg
	- you pass them with the -a switch to check_nrpe
	- See the SECURITY document for NRPE for documentation and examples.

> *	This causes the check_disk plugin on the client to run, as if

No, but you may specify those arguments in the command definition in  
nrpe.cfg instead of trying to pass them via check_nrpe.

I expect you see now that the '50 80' is being interpreted as an  
argument to check_nrpe itself, not check_disk, hence the 'unknown  
argument' error. If they're static numbers, you're probably fine just  
specifying them in each host's nrpe.cfg file.

1. Make sure snmpd is running on the host. (classic mistake)
2. Make sure your community string and/or credentials are the same on the 
host and client.
3. Make sure you're using the same snmp version on client and server (v1, 
v2c, or v3)
4. Try running a tcpdump on the host while you're attempting the snmpwalk 
to verify that the snmp requests are reaching the host. At the same time 
verify that the host is trying to send out responses.
   # tcpdump udp port 161

I'm sure there are more tests you can do but this is a start.

No, not a bug. You're searching for 'K' and it is present in the word  
'OKAY' in the page. You're searching for simple strings, not words.  
Searching for the string 'OKAY' would successfully match  
'thisisreallycoolOKAYthxbai'.

You're running the same check repeatedly on one host.  Look carefully

This is, IMHO, one of the greatest problems with open source
development.  Too much bickering, splintering and forking dilutes the
value of the product.  It's unfortunate that the main nagios devs and
these icinga people could not work together to simply improve the
existing code base.  There are a lot of great features that could be
added to nagios, yet it feels like development on some of these major
features has been very sloooooooow.

Ethan, if you're reading this, cheer up mate.  You are sitting on a
virtual gold mine.  Nagios is hands-down the best network monitoring
system available, you should be minting money selling support
contracts for it.  If you aren't then hire some good salespeople to
sell your support contracts and maybe a find good web developer to
give the GUI an upgrade!

If it's social-networking problems, I recommend maybe facebook.com!

Seriously though, it depends.  If it's to do with Linux you could seek
out your local LUG, but why not just say what the problem is here, you
never know ... someone might find a solution to your problem AND
explain how Nagios can help you to check how effective their answer to
it was!

Yeah, because out of all of the commercial closed source development
projects I've worked on, none of them have ever had bickering,
splintering, forking or anything else horrible go on with them.

Nope, not social, although if I don't get it fixed soon (or find  
another solution) it might become a social problem :-) I didn't post  
it here because I thought some might get annoyed with me cluttering  
the list with non-nagios problems, but here goes.

Thanks to a recent company acquisition made by my company (Frontier  
Flying), we are now dealing with two separate networks (they will  
eventually be combined, but that's a ways off still). The company we  
bought (Era aviation) uses a piece of software called Sabre for their  
flight reservations, which contacts a central server to which their  
network has a direct connection. The Sabre server itself is on a third  
network, but there are a couple of routers that link the two (Sabre  
and Era) across a private network, so asside from a couple of routing  
and NAT statements they are effectively on the same network.

In order to be able to run Sabre on our network, we established a VPN  
tunnel between our network and Era's. As far as I can tell, the VPN is  
functioning. I can ping computers on the Era network, including the  
Sabre server, and can access and control various computers on the Era  
network. For initial testing purposes we installed the sabre software  
(windows only) inside a parallels installation on one of our Mac  
laptops. This worked perfectly. So far so good. Until we tried  
installing the software on one of our Windows desktops. Then the  
problems started. The Sabre software would make the initial connection  
and log in the user, but when it tried to download the initial info it  
needs, it just timed out. Every time. Meanwhile, the laptop, which was  
connected through the same dumb switch, continued to work perfectly.  
Every time. We took the Windows machine off our network and put it on  
Era's (different location, obviously) and it started working. Put it  
back on ours, timeout.

Since then we have tried installing Sabre on a number of different  
computers on our network. A second Mac laptop running parallels works  
fine, while a mac desktop with an identical install of parallels  
doesn't. We have managed get one Windows machine running the software  
on our network, while a stack of four windows machines that Era sent  
us which had been working on their network just fine don't work.

On one hand it seems impossible that it could be an issue with the  
network, because you would expect that to affect all computers  
equally, not the hit-and miss (but mostly miss) scenario that we are  
facing. On the other hand, it can't be a problem with the individual  
computer, because the same computer with the exact same configuration  
(including network settings - DHCP) works fine on the Era network, but  
stops working when moved to ours. We thought maybe it was a DNS  
problem (since obviously DHCP on our network would give different DNS  
servers than DHCP on Era's network), so we tried putting the Era DNS  
servers in statically, but while it worked as far as DNS went (we  
still got name resolution) that didn't help with Sabre.

We are going bald here tearing our hair out trying to figure out what  
could be causing this issue. Sabre technical support is no help - they  
just say it's our problem. Management is coming down on us pretty hard  
to get something working here, so any help anyone can provide would be  
GREATLY appreciated :-). Let me know if I left out any relevant  
details or testing we performed!

You have my every sympathy.  That kind of network problem can be a
right pain to solve.

I had a similar problem with a VPN from home to work a while ago.
After lots of googling I found the home router I was using had some
problem with packet reassembly (whatever that is) which was fixed by
upgrading to the latest firmware.  It was a bit strange because when I
wasn't using the VPN to work (just using normal internet) the router
seemed to work flawlessly.  It was only when I was connected to the
work network over SecuRemote that the problem reared its ugly head.

Once I'd upgraded the firmware, it was fine ...

... then I replaced the router with a wireless one from a different
manufacturer and even when I connected wired the problem was back
again!  Served me right for buying a cheapo one.

Not sure if that will help you at all though :-(

Hi Israel,

You do have a weird problem. It's difficult to give any hints -- it
seems you should try to solve this as methodically as possible, e.g.
with root cause analysis or some other troubleshooting method.

At least, try to record what is working and what is not working in
some kind of matrix. Maybe some trend comes out.
For example, you mention that Sabre works inside a VM on Mac; how
about in a VM on Windows?

Maybe some network sniffing could be useful also. What TCP/UDP ports
are used with the software. What kind of VPN you have? Is any of
routers filtering traffic?

Regards,
Ari Constancio

Hi, sounds like classic MTU issues to me. Path MTU discovery is broken due to firewalls blocking ICMP and the VPN overhead is introduced, things break in very strange ways.  Take one of the windows machines while connected to the non-working network and lower it's MTU, reload and test again:

http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/280/

You can also try this theory out by varying the size of the ping packet you test with.  See if your ping breaks at a certain MTU.  Get some wireshark packet captures of a session too, this may point you in the right direction.

Nope, not social, although if I don't get it fixed soon (or find
another solution) it might become a social problem :-) I didn't post
it here because I thought some might get annoyed with me cluttering
the list with non-nagios problems, but here goes.

Thanks to a recent company acquisition made by my company (Frontier
Flying), we are now dealing with two separate networks (they will
eventually be combined, but that's a ways off still). The company we
bought (Era aviation) uses a piece of software called Sabre for their
flight reservations, which contacts a central server to which their
network has a direct connection. The Sabre server itself is on a third
network, but there are a couple of routers that link the two (Sabre
and Era) across a private network, so asside from a couple of routing
and NAT statements they are effectively on the same network.

In order to be able to run Sabre on our network, we established a VPN
tunnel between our network and Era's. As far as I can tell, the VPN is
functioning. I can ping computers on the Era network, including the
Sabre server, and can access and control various computers on the Era
network. For initial testing purposes we installed the sabre software
(windows only) inside a parallels installation on one of our Mac
laptops. This worked perfectly. So far so good. Until we tried
installing the software on one of our Windows desktops. Then the
problems started. The Sabre software would make the initial connection
and log in the user, but when it tried to download the initial info it
needs, it just timed out. Every time. Meanwhile, the laptop, which was
connected through the same dumb switch, continued to work perfectly.
Every time. We took the Windows machine off our network and put it on
Era's (different location, obviously) and it started working. Put it
back on ours, timeout.

Since then we have tried installing Sabre on a number of different
computers on our network. A second Mac laptop running parallels works
fine, while a mac desktop with an identical install of parallels
doesn't. We have managed get one Windows machine running the software
on our network, while a stack of four windows machines that Era sent
us which had been working on their network just fine don't work.

On one hand it seems impossible that it could be an issue with the
network, because you would expect that to affect all computers
equally, not the hit-and miss (but mostly miss) scenario that we are
facing. On the other hand, it can't be a problem with the individual
computer, because the same computer with the exact same configuration
(including network settings - DHCP) works fine on the Era network, but
stops working when moved to ours. We thought maybe it was a DNS
problem (since obviously DHCP on our network would give different DNS
servers than DHCP on Era's network), so we tried putting the Era DNS
servers in statically, but while it worked as far as DNS went (we
still got name resolution) that didn't help with Sabre.

We are going bald here tearing our hair out trying to figure out what
could be causing this issue. Sabre technical support is no help - they
just say it's our problem. Management is coming down on us pretty hard
to get something working here, so any help anyone can provide would be
GREATLY appreciated :-). Let me know if I left out any relevant
details or testing we performed!

As far as I can see, the failure_prediction_enabled flag does absolutely
nothing right now.

I can certainly imagine a reason for this. Failure prediction is *hard*.
To get it right, you need to take into account
1. The current check thresholds (currently specified as arguments to
    Nagios plugins, so Nagios core knows nothing about them)
2. The average delta between several checks over a possibly *very* long
    period of time.
3. The number of times the potential problem is being taken care of
    before it becomes a problem, and how this affects the average delta.
4. Artificial intelligence to learn about previous problems in other
    areas of the network that could, potentially, lead to problems with
    the monitored host.

Personally, I think you're wrong. GCC (one of the most portable and
portability-friendly compiler collections in the world) "suffered" a
big fat fork in 1997, and it ended up being extremely good for the
project.

The X windowing system *remains* forked into at least 4 different
schisms. Right now, it looks as if X.org is winning. A few years
ago, everyone used XFree86.

True. That's a major complaint of the forkees too. The majorest (err..)
is that development hasn't been open enough though. Ethan and some other
prominent community members are working on fixing that. I'm guessing
info regarding that will be publicly available on monday afternoon,
European time.

I agree about the GUI. Rumor has it that discussions are under way to
solve that too very shortly.

Ethan will send something out very early next week (not "he may do so"
or "I hope he will do so"; He *will* do so, or I'll go to minnesota and
thump him on the head). The email he'll send out will contain, among
other things, his future plans to make Nagios development move along
faster. Possibly, there'll be something about GUI discussions in there
as well. It's friday night here (2:32 AM), and I really don't know
everything. This time, I feel confident that noone will be disappointed
when I say: "Just wait and see. There may be pumpkins in it."

No can do then. You can lock the author-field, but if everyone are
authenticated as the same person, using the exact same credentials,
there's no way of telling them apart automatically. You *could* add
a check to see if the field isn't changed. That requires basic C
programming skills and a rudimentary grasp of how HTML works when
posting form data. If you still want help with that, you can probably
contact op5 and get a consultancy price. I doubt it'll be of much use
to the community, so it *will* come with a price-tag.

If your accounts are in LDAP you can do some scripting to sync between
LDAP and Nagios.  Since it seems you more care about individual
usernames but not strong security, you can just make the password the
same for each account when you create the HTTP AUTh account on the
Nagios poller.

Either that or you can use the same philosophy, script to sync Nagios
user accounts from LDAP queries, and then use one of the Apache LDAP
authentication modules to authenticate the user so they use their real
password to authenticate.

Subject: NSCA - Command file does not exist

Does the nsca user or group have access to every single directory along 
the path? Easy way to try:

su - nagios
cd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
ls -lah *

Note: the above won't work if user nagios has /bin/false as a shell. In 
that case, try
su -s /bin/bash - nagios

It should list nagios.cmd (and probably some other files)

What are you trying to acheive?  Nagios itself doesn't use MySQL, but
some of the plugins can, and NDOUtils does.

Message-ID: <C41B5F52D530C94ABC153C9250AB8086C9E1F1@ra.impactteachers.local>

Dear All,
 
I've completed my nagios installation, thanks to a bit of lurking on this list, and now I have an issue of my own.
 
I've finished configuring a host with all the checks and warnings that I need, and now I want to use all the same checks on my other hosts. I don't want to have to keep changing every host once when i install and configure new plugins. How can create a template so that all host are 'updated' with new checks when i update just the template?
 
Thanks for any advice in advance.

http://nagios.org/docs/ is a good place to start

If you have installed from source, the relevant config is usually  
under /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/. See templates.cfg there - that  
can give you a clue.

Gabriel,

 From experience, you're better off using host groups.  For example all 
your hosts will have certain checks (ping, disk space etc) so I have a 
group "all hosts" which all hosts are added to.

We also have hosts that perform their own functions - e.g. database 
servers, DNS servers, web servers, which all have relevant checks of 
their own.  So we have other host groups called, for example, "DNS 
servers", "web servers" etc which each host is added to the group 
depending on the function it performs.  All service checks are then 
added to the host groups, instead of individual hosts.

Then if we come up with a new service check, it gets added to the host 
group it needs to be in, and is automatically added to all hosts in that 
group.  Similarly if we add a new server, it gets added to the host 
groups it needs to be in, and inherits all the service checks of that 
group without any additional configuration.

See this page for the above (and plenty other) time-saving tricks: 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html

HTH,

Andy

First place to look for plugins and so on is
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?d=1

I use Oracle Grid Control to do most of the monitoring for Oracle
Databases.  It's fairly easy to redirect alerts as SNMP traps from
Grid Control to your Nagios server (for example using NagTrap) if you
wish.

I believe using the Oracle Lightweight Client with Nagios to monitor
Oracle is covered in Wolfgang Barth's Book (certainly it was in the
1st edition).  http://nostarch.com/nagios_2e.htm

hth,

Jim

It's also one of the biggest strengths of open source development and
the FOSS community.  Don't like the way a closed source product does
something?  Well 90% of the time you have to suck it up.  Don't like the
way an open source product does something?  Well write some code, submit
 a patch, maintain your own branch, or even fork if you want.

I have Nagios installed also on Ubuntu 8.10, and I installed net-snmp like this: 
 
a) Download the file net-snmp-5.4.2.1.tar.gz from Sourceforge.net.
b) Untar the file: tar -xvf net-snmp-5.4.2.1.tar.gz
c) cd net-snmp-5.4.2.1
d) ./configure
e) make
f) make install
 
And done... 
 
Hope this helps...
 
Best regards, 
 
        Alejandro

Asunto: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring switches via SNMP --


	(...) 
	 
	I changed ifOperStatus.INSIDE from ifOperStatus.1 because an snmpwalk on the device said that's what this port name was, but I can change it back.  But googling the error (Return code of 127 ...) seems to indicate I'm missing net-snmp or net-snmp-util, but I'm not sure how to install them -- can't do a rpm -qa on Ubuntu, and I don't know what the corresponding command is with apt-get.  But searching the Ubuntu repositories, I can' find an equivalent to net-snmp-util, so I think that's the problem.  Snmpwalk works though, so I figure I have something half-working...
	
	
	The other error I see is:
	
	---
	Port 1 Bandwidth UNKNOWN     05-07-2009 17:02:24     0d 2h 38m 14s     3/3     check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file 
	
	---

	        }
	---
	
	I looked, and /var/lib/mrtg/ didn't exist.  Googling, I saw a tip to change it to /var/www/mrtg/, but that directory didn't exist either.  I created /var/lib/mrtg/ and chown'd it to nagios:nagios and restarted Nagios, but still nothing.  Is there a mrtg config file I need to edit?
	
	Should I check into check_cisco.pl, or does that work better for the huge switches than the itty-bitty 4-porters?
	
	Thanks a heap,
	-Mike

How about

ls -lahd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw /usr/local/nagios/var 
/usr/local/nagios /usr/local /usr

They should all at a minimum have X permission for either the nagios 
user or the group or for world.

Yes, this looks good. Besides, I only just noticed that you did the ls 
-lah * as user nagios, so we now have double confirmation that this 
works. Another question: what happens when you manually feed a command 
into nagios.cmd?

echo "xxx" >>/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

It should basically succeed without any message. If you look in your 
nagios log files, you'll probably see an invalid command "xxx" being 
logged. Finally, you could try stopping nagios, deleting the nagios.cmd 
file if it stayed around, and restarting nagios. It should get 
recreated. This just in case it is somehow "messed up".

First place to look for plugins and so on is
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?d=1

I use Oracle Grid Control to do most of the monitoring for Oracle
Databases.  It's fairly easy to redirect alerts as SNMP traps from
Grid Control to your Nagios server (for example using NagTrap) if you
wish.

I believe using the Oracle Lightweight Client with Nagios to monitor
Oracle is covered in Wolfgang Barth's Book (certainly it was in the
1st edition).  http://nostarch.com/nagios_2e.htm

hth,

Jim

Briefly, the steps are as follows:


First choose which plugins you think will be useful to you.

Then, install them (usually copy the executable files to
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/ and give them similar ownership and
permissions to the files already there).

Make sure you understand what they do and can run them from the command line.

Configure service checks in Nagios to make use of these plugins.


You will probably need to install the Oracle lightweight client (or
ordinary Oracle client software) on your Nagios server in order to run
these plugins.  Alternatively you could use nrpe or check_by_ssh to
run them on the remote server.


You will need to read some documentation to understand how to do all
this.  If you find the online documentation heavy going, I recommend
you purchase the book "Nagios" by Wofgang Barth which I mentioned
earlier.

I don't use these plugins myself, so can't offer you any sample
configs (otherwise I would).

Cheers,

Jim

Please read http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html

Check whether you can send an email from the command-line on your
Nagios server, for example:


  /usr/bin/mail -s "A test email" harishtyagi.81 at gmail.com
  This is just a test.
  .
  Cc:

If that doesn't work, you probably need to install an email client on
your server, or configure it correctly to forward emails through your
smtp server.

See the FAQ at http://nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=18&expand=false&showdesc=true

hth,

Message-ID: <4A0809FC.4080304@networthdirect.com>

Hi,


I am using Nagios to monitor few branch connectivity
all these branches are connected through VSAT.

All VSATs are under dedicated hostgroup.
I need to delegate one of team member to maintain these hosts through nagios web interface.

I am looking for option to grant access rights to specific authenticated user to manager hostgroup.

e.g I tried configuring followings in cgi.cfg to allow branchsupport user to manage VSAT hostgroup.
authorized_for_VSAT_hostgroup=branchsupport

Kindly guide me with appropriate configuration.




Thanks & Regards

Just to clarify, and I thank you and all who replied for taking the
time.

It's easier to create hostgroups, and assign checks to the host groups,
then assign the hosts to those same hostgroups, in order to make sure
for example, all linux based servers have their uptime, swap space, SSH,
and free disk space all checked? If my understanding is correct, a host
can belong to many hostgroups? In which case, a host that is running a
webserver, mysql server, and FTP service, will be checked for those
services not by its host definition, but by its host group definition?

I half hope that I'm not right, because it means I have to reconfigure
all my host defs!

I doubt I've remembered everything, but hopefully these notes might help...

I downloaded the tarball drraw-2.2b2.tar.gz from
http://web.taranis.org/drraw/#download

I extracted it under /var/www, then renamed the directory from
drraw-2.2bd to drraw.

I editted the file /var/www/drraw/drraw.conf to set the datadirs like so:

  %datadirs = ('/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata-nagios2'  => '[Nagios2] ',
               '/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata'  => '[Nagios3] ',
              );

You probably only need the one datadir - I have some old .rrds in
perfdata-nagios2 I like to be able to look at too.

I set variables for the working directories for drraw like so:

  $saved_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/saved';
  $tmp_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/tmp';

These already existed on my system from a previous install - you may
need to create them.  Put them wherever you think is suitable and make
sure they are writeable by apache (on my system permissions on these
are "drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data").



I create the file /etc/apache2/conf.d/drraw.conf like so:


# ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

  Alias /drraw "/var/www/drraw"
  <Directory "/var/www/drraw">
      DirectoryIndex  drraw.cgi
  #  SSLRequireSSL
     Options +ExecCGI
     AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
     AllowOverride None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
  #  Order deny,allow
  #  Deny from all
  #  Allow from 127.0.0.1
     AuthName "Nagios Access"
     AuthType Basic
     AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
     Require valid-user
  </Directory>



and restarted the apache daemon to make it take effect.

I hope this helps.

If you're still having trouble, please be a bit more specific about
what you are having a problem with.

Cheers,

Jim

I can`t see that information.

I don`t have 0.0.0.0:161

The problem is that I can`t add the port exeption in winxp, because some
admin had block it by policies from active directory.
I have acces to ActDir but I don`t know what is the policy blocks it

Sorry for my bad English

When you do a 
netstat -an 

on the PC in question do you see something similar to: 
0.0.0.0:161 

i.e. the PC is listening on port 161 UDP?

Asunto: RE: [Nagios-users] check_snmp - warning numbers

Hola de nuevo...

I'll answer you in English so that anybody in the list can understand
and participate in this subject.

I think that if you don't know exactly which parameter to monitor you
should browse the whole OID list that you receive when you do a snmpwalk
on your switch, and identify the ones that fit your needs, with the help
of the website I said yesterday, or any other OIDs reference.

My case: The only thing I want to detect is if there is any damaged port
in any of my switches. So what I did was to snmpwalk on a switch which I
positively knew that had its port #2 damaged, and discover which OID was
significantly different for this port. And the one I found is: 

iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7

(maybe you can find it as its equivalent: SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.10.7.2.1.7)

defined as: "a count of frames for which the first transmission attempt
on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy".

The thing is that it's the only OID I found that gave a very high value
for port #2 (about 65,000 or so) and 0 for the rest of ports that work
properly.

The command I defined for this was like this: 

define command {
	command_name check_port
	command_line $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C password -O
iso.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.2.1.7.$ARG1$ -w 1 -c 10 -u retries }

For sure there must be somebody else in the list who can give to you a
more detailed or a more formally correct answer...

Hasta la proxima, 

      Alejandro

Hola Alejandro,

Ahora otra cosa:

De que manera crees que pueda chequear los puertos de mi switch con
nagios para tener una idea m?s clara de lo que est? sucediendo?
Porque esos paquetes entrantes con errores no se si son por causa de la
PC o de los puerto del switch...

Muchas Gracias...

Cristian




************************************

Hola Mat?as... :-) and hola everyone...

There exists a magical website where to identify every OID you can check
with SNMP, the link is: 

http://support.ipmonitor.com/mibs_byoidtree.aspx

For your particular issue, if you type "RFC1213-MIB" at the "Search
for:" form, click the result given ("RFC1213-MIB"), and then "View:
Oid-tree", you'll be able to locate "ifInErrors(14)" at the tree shown,
and clicking it you'll find its Description, which reads literally:

"The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them
from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol."

That's the answer to your question!!

Now some other questions appear...

Wouldn't it be nicer to know what exactly are you monitoring before you
monitor it, so you could properly interpret the results?

Is that parameter (number of inbound packets that contained errors and
blah blah blah...) significant enough to determine if a port is working
properly or not? 

Hope this helps...

Best regards, 

         Alejandro

Hi, I am using the check_snmp nagios`s plugin. And when we check the
ports status of a 3com Baseline 2250 Plus, we recibe many ports results:

SNMP OK - 0
SNMP WARNING - *1*
SNMP WARNING - *84*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *2*
SNMP WARNING - *4*

The question is, what?s the meaning of the warning numbers?


Other information:

# 'check_snmp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Example of service
-------------------

define service {
	use			service-15x3x5-switchs
	host_name		3COM2250P
	service_description	Port 03 [In Errors]
	check_command		check_snmp!-C public -o ifInErrors.3 -w

The output of check_disk doesn't seem to be making any sense.  Can

gigabytes and terabytes confused, but something is clearly wrong.   
Using the -u  GB or -u MB switch doesn't help any.
Oh, and this is on a PPC XServe MAC running OS X 10.5.6.
The device that's reporting wrong is an NFS disk on another server.
Thanks for any advice.

There were some problems with large (i.e. 80TB) filesystems under  
linux and solaris reported in 2007 but I believe that changes were  
made to accommodate those. Up to 16TB filesystems worked regardless.

You may be running into an OS specific issue. I believe the plugin is  
using standard system calls to obtain the utilization but there could  
be formatting issues or whatnot. Make sure you're using the latest  
plugin and if you don't get any other bites here, try posting as much  
information as possible to nagiosplug-devel.

I'm looking for a way to see if there are any unacknowledged host/service
problems within nagios.

 I've written up my own gosh-awful ugly code that parses nagios
logs to search for hosts that went down, haven't come back up, are
still in the nagios config and have not been acknowledged. Although
the coding appears to work, I'm wondering if there's an easier/cleaner
way to do it ie some plugin that just searchs for any ACKs more directly

TIA

Try the "Unhandled" link under the "Service|Host Problems" links in the GUI.

Hi,

this information in preparation for the Linux up2date patching, in

Hi

Not knowing exactly what distribution you are talking about (I assume
RHEL3 or 4, since 4 is the last one to use up2date), you can likely run 

rpm -qa | grep nag |sort

to get a sorted list of the RPMS you currently have related to nagios
(not counting whatever custom stuff  you do?), and go from there. 

As it is (to the best of my knowledge?) you must add 3rd party repos to
RHEL5 to get the nagios RPMs, however it's been awhile so I  may be
wrong.

As always, update -u  of *all* packages could be problematic if it bombs
in the middle, (compared to yum anyhow), so I understand your
hesitation, but from my knowledge, I would think a  large up2date -u
would not impact your current nagios, if that is the kind of answer you
are looking for... (again, any dependencies would depend on your
checks/environment, as always)... 

Hth, Cheers

If you've installed everything, including Nagios, via RPM/yum/up2date, then
you should get a warning if upgrading some packages will interfere with
Nagios.

Assuming you've installed Nagios via RPM/up2date, then you can do:

rpm -qa | grep nagios

To see what Nagios-related packages you have installed.  Then do a:

rpm -qR <nagios package name>

to see what packages Nagios requires.  That's actually going to show what
libraries and binaries are needed by Nagios, not the actual package names.

If you installed Nagios by source, then you'll need to find a Nagios 2.5.x
RPM, download it (don't install it)t, and do a:

rpm -qpR <rpm file>

to find out what it requires.  Better yet, go to the package maintainers
website and find the spec file that was used to build the RPM to find out
what packages are required to install the RPM.

You do not HAVE to reconfigure all your sevices,
But it may be easier to maintain of you examine your config
and redo it to something that fits your projected growth.

It may not be worth the time reorganizing the config files,
if none of your coworkers are willing to maintain the new structure

I personally like using
A) service check templates to configure the base check times and standards
B) Have some services templates assigned to standard hostgroups
C) Have nested config directories managing different clients


A single unique check does not need a hostgroup.
but a service templet for that host makes it just a few lines to add the new
check.

While a common check like a port check of FTP or 8080 would be better as a
Hostgroup


Good luck,

Is it possible to monitor  hosts/services in interval specified in 
second? Seems that interval could be given in minutes. Am I right or not?
Or is there another way to monitor/be informed/have history of suspected 
switch, host or printer dropouts more accurately?

  Thanks

You can reduce the interval length in the main configuration file.

See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#interval_length

You will also need to look at various other configuration directives
to see how this will affect various aspects of the Nagios system.

Another option is you can configure a cron job to run every few
seconds (yes that is possible, you create a script running every
minute which does, for example "foo ; sleep 15 ; foo ; sleep 15 ...").
 The cron job can submit passive results back to nagios either by
writing the command file directly or via nsca.

Personally, I consider that it is unlikely that anyone will respond to
an alert in only a few seconds so a minute interval length seems quite
reasonable to me.  In fact, I rarely use one-minute check intervals,
most in my system are configured at two, five or even more minute
intervals.

hth,

Assuming it is possible to send an email through mutt using a script,
you will need to modify your notify-host-by-email and
notify-service-by-email command definitions to use mutt rather than
/usr/bin/mail.

See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html

Hi Sundar,

Check your etc/objects/templates.cfg file and make sure that the
following default template is defined;

define host{
	name			windows-server	; The name of this host template
	use			generic-host	; Inherit default values from the generic-host template
	check_period		24x7		; By default, Windows servers are monitored round the clock
	check_interval		5		; Actively check the server every 5 minutes
	retry_interval		1		; Schedule host check retries at 1 minute intervals
	max_check_attempts	10		; Check each server 10 times (max)
	check_command		check-host-alive	; Default command to check if servers
are "alive"
	notification_period	24x7		; Send notification out at any time - day or night
	notification_interval	30		; Resend notifications every 30 minutes
	notification_options	d,r		; Only send notifications for specific host states
	contact_groups		admins		; Notifications get sent to the admins by default
	hostgroups		windows-servers ; Host groups that Windows servers should
be a member of
	register		0		; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST A TEMPLATE
	}

This should be there by default, but it sounds like your configuration
is missing this definition for some reason. It may be commented out by
default, I can't remember - but if so, just uncomment it.

Chris

It seems you used a template when you created your host definition into Nagios, but you hadn't created it. Try create the 'windows-server' template (I think you can also find it in some configuration file samples with your distribution of Nagios) or remove the template of your host definition if you don't need it.

Hi 

 

Last week on Thursday I've stopped NAGIOS, deleted files under
/var/nagios and restart it (NAGIOS)!

Yesterday Nagios gives me Infos like these (when I choose report period
: Last Week) :

 

 

UP                  Total:3d 10h 17m 9s               Total_Time:48.98%
Known_Time:100% 

Undetermined        Insufficient Data:3d 13h 42m      Total_Time:51s
51.02%

All                 Total:7d 0h 0m 0s



What means this "insufficient data"? 
How Nagios calculate this "availability report"? Give any some Lectures
about < how interpreted Nagios graphs > ?
How do we must considered these messages?

Any Ideas?

Dear All,

 

I need some help on Understanding the Existing Nagios setup in one of
our client system.

 

a.    How to check what all plugins installed?

b.    To check versions of all plugins, integrated patches, or any other
packages like NDutils,PNP etc...

c.     Need some document or questionnaire for checking the above points
and investigating the Nagios setup. 

 

Please help...

 

Looking for some useful suggestions.

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

To create its graphs, Nagios parses its log files. So if you delete them (or they are lost), it will be like Nagios wouldn't have been running for the period missing from the log file. For example, if the log files from May the 2nd to May the 4th are missing, you won't have any data on the status, the check results, etc... Nagios would have ran, and so no graphs either.

You might be better off looking at a tool dedicated to recording
performance information, for example Cacti or mrtg.  I would however
recommend that you configure your switches to send snmp traps to your
Nagios server - these will often point to where the problem lies if a
connection is dropping intermittently.  There are various ways you can
receive traps in Nagios, the easiest, but probably not the most
efficient is to use snmptt with NagTrap.


> But I'd like to ask you one more question.

Please do, but remember it's always best to post to the nagios-users
email list so everyone can benefit from the answer (or can disagree
with it if it's wrong).  I don't provide personal support!

Nagios itself does not bzip the archives under
/usr/local/nagios/var/archives/ (assuming those are the ones you
mean).  I expect you have a cron job running somewhere to do that.
Have a look in the files under /etc/cron.* and under
/var/spool/cron/crontabs .  I wouldn't normally zip any of the
archives unless you absolutely have to, as Nagios uses them for
reporting.

Cheers,

Jim

Usually, plugins are found under /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ .  If the
Nagios system uses passive checks, you might also find plugins
installed (almost anywhere) on the monitored servers too.

If the Nagios system was installed using the distro's repositories,
you might find some packages if you query aptittude, yum or whatever
package manager you use.

> b.??? To check versions of all plugins, integrated patches, or any other
> packages like NDutils,PNP etc?

Plugins will often allow you to use the "--version" argument to show
the version.  For example, from the command line, you can enter:

  /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp --version

Alternatively, if the plugin is written in perl,bash,ksh or whatever
you can examine the script itself to see if there are any version
numbers.

You can check the version of Nagios similarly:

  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios --version

> c.???? Need some document or questionnaire for checking the above points and
> investigating the Nagios setup.

Most of the Nagios config can be investigated by starting with
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg and /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg and
working from there.  You'll find references to ndo and PNP in there if
they're installed.

I recommend the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth to give you a good
start in understanding Nagios and most of the commonly implemented
add-ons.

Cheers,

Jim

I doubt I've remembered everything, but hopefully these notes might 
help...

I downloaded the tarball drraw-2.2b2.tar.gz from
http://web.taranis.org/drraw/#download

I extracted it under /var/www, then renamed the directory from
drraw-2.2bd to drraw.

I editted the file /var/www/drraw/drraw.conf to set the datadirs like so:

  %datadirs = ('/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata-nagios2'  => '[Nagios2] 
',
               '/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata'  => '[Nagios3] ',
              );

You probably only need the one datadir - I have some old .rrds in
perfdata-nagios2 I like to be able to look at too.

I set variables for the working directories for drraw like so:

  $saved_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/saved';
  $tmp_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/tmp';

These already existed on my system from a previous install - you may
need to create them.  Put them wherever you think is suitable and make
sure they are writeable by apache (on my system permissions on these
are "drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data").



I create the file /etc/apache2/conf.d/drraw.conf like so:


# ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

  Alias /drraw "/var/www/drraw"
  <Directory "/var/www/drraw">
      DirectoryIndex  drraw.cgi
  #  SSLRequireSSL
     Options +ExecCGI
     AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
     AllowOverride None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
  #  Order deny,allow
  #  Deny from all
  #  Allow from 127.0.0.1
     AuthName "Nagios Access"
     AuthType Basic
     AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
     Require valid-user
  </Directory>



and restarted the apache daemon to make it take effect.

I hope this helps.

If you're still having trouble, please be a bit more specific about
what you are having a problem with.

Cheers,

Jim

Thanks you Marc-Andr? for your email!

Ok but does that means that it will be impossible to eliminate all undetermined data ?
Now, I'm still in a test phase and when I'll starting Nagios in production phase, I don't like to have any zombies or unknown datas!
It isn't any solutions?

Subject: hostescalation and default contact_groups
Message-ID: <4A097D04.9030803@portachtzig.de>

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to know if the following is expected behaviour:
I created a hostescalation definition telling that a special contact
group should be notified with the first notification and now the default
contact_groups do not get notified anymore.
notification_interval is set to 0, so i cannot use first_notification
set to anything above 1.
I now added the default contact_groups (which should EVER be notified)
to the hostescalation too to get it working.
Is there any better way doing this?

thanks,
best regards,

Sebastian

Hi Simon,

Sorry, just realised that I had forgotten to reply to you.

I got Centreon working perfectly in the end. My centstorage service
wasn't running for some reason, but once it started, the graphs
started becoming populated with data as expected. I've had it running
for about 10 days now and haven't encountered any problems with it at
all.

One thing I was wondering about though, is if anyone has experience
with redundancy strategies for Centreon. With Nagios alone, it seemed
simple enough (consolidate the log files), but Centreon's database
usage makes things somewhat more complicated.

Have you got a strategy in place for synchronising your primary server
from a secondary server's database if the primary should go down for
any reason? I'll admit I haven't looked too deeply into Centreon's
schema, so I'm not sure how feasible this task is.

Cheers,
Chris

Unfortunately, I don't know a solution to this problem. Perhaps, you may generate some "fake" log files to replace the ones you erased but this is just some awkward "hack". An other way to hide this is to set the initial state of your nagios items to be OK (or UP). There is a value to put in your definition files that can force Nagios to assume the state is OK (for example) when it has no data about the object. I don't remember right now the name of the option.

Anyway, once your system will be in production, the percentage of unknown data will eventually decrease. Besides you will always have some unknown data from time to time (reboot of your serveur, etc...).

Thanks you Marc-Andr? for your email!

Ok but does that means that it will be impossible to eliminate all undetermined data ?
Now, I'm still in a test phase and when I'll starting Nagios in production phase, I don't like to have any zombies or unknown datas!
It isn't any solutions?

You need to keep all the of the .log files in (nagios)/var, the only historical data nagios stores stays in those files.

I use rsync every day to back up these files offsite, as we've got 18 months of data.

Configure notification_interval to > 0 in your host definition then
configure the host escalation only to send one escalation notification
(first_notification 2) if that's what you want.

Do you have Linux SE or AppArmor that might block access for nsca? 
Otherwise, I'm pretty much out of ideas :-(

This is because $START$ and $END$ aren't defined in commands.cfg , that
is they contain no variable data so it shows as a blank $ - if you need
to send those explicitly with no variable in your email/notification,
you will likely have to escape the $'s such as:

\$START\$ 

And 

\$END\$

Hi,

I'm facing an issue with the Nagios 1.3 version, which is not having an 
windows.cfg file in /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects to start monitoring a 
windows server CPU.
Please suggest!

Thanks,

[Disclaimer: I am not the Nagios administrator, just an end-user]

We are using DFS-R on a number of Windows servers.  Nagios is already
being used to monitor these servers (NSCLIENT++ 0.3.1).   It is possible
to schedule some tasks to run a DFSRDIAG or DFSRADMIN report on the
status of the replication folders and e-mail the results, but I am
wondering if anyone is using Nagios to monitor DFS-R and, if so, how.

You seem to be reading the nagios-3 documentation and trying to apply  
it to your much much older version.

Such a file was not included with Nagios-1.3. You can use the file  
included with nagios-3 as an example but understand that there may be  
changes needed to the definitions to deal with configuration  
differences between the two major versions. /path/to/nagios -v /path/ 
to/nagios.cfg can help you identify those if you don't read through  
the What's New documentation for nagios-2 and nagios-3. You'll almost  
certainly need to extract referenced commands{} from the nagios-3  
commands.cfg file (check_nt at least) and move them to yours if you  
don't have them as well.

You could also just read the documentation for NSClient++ (or  
whichever program you're going to run on the Windows side) to learn  
what config changes you can make.

Standard comment: The version you are using is very old. Unless there  
is some compelling reason to continue using it, and you are  
comfortable maintaining it with minimal support from the community,  
you should strongly consider upgrading.

Message-ID: <9c4cd14a0905121333m4c973f87w353bea412ee5dc69@mail.gmail.com>

The company I work for uses Trac quite heavily, and I was recently
tasked with getting Nagios up and running to replace our current
monitoring system, I was wondering if anyone had done any kind of
trac/nagios integration that would allow creation of a trac ticket
from a nagios alert?  I did some searching but didn't come up with
anything.

Disclaimers -  I don't use Trac and have only conceptually  
investigated Ticketing system integration (Remedy in our case).

This addon - https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/email2trac, appears to  
provide an e-mail interface to Trac. Since nagios can send arbitrarily  
formatted e-mails to arbitrary addresses, this seems like an easy-to- 
implement way of opening tickets at least. Updating and auto-closing  
of tickets looks more complicated as you need to know the Trac ticket  
number that was created... I don't know how you'd obtain that from the  
command line...

"redundancy strategies for Centreon"

Hi Chris,

Nothing in place yet other than daily DB dumps and daily backups of all the Nagios, Centreon and etc directories.

Last week I separated MySQL and the DB's out onto their own dedicated 64bit Ubuntu server as the single 32bit host was running out of grunt.
I am looking at duplicating both hosts with MySQL setup as master / slave across the two DB servers, but I haven't yet worked out all of the details.

One other gotcha that I fixed this morning was the php memory_limit, I have raised it from 32M to 256M. This is probably way to much but I found that 32M was randomly failing when I generate the Nagios config files. The problem has only shown up since I added another 150 monitored hosts 3 weeks ago and since I moved MySQL I have got plenty of spare memory on the main host.

Thanks,
Simon

Are you sure about the version first 1.3?
 
If it is not having a windows.cfg you can find them in quick start
guide.

Hi, 

I'm facing an issue with the Nagios 1.3 version, which is not having an

Please suggest!

Message-ID: <c4e6d5440905130049m79c2dcfald6f6f64e517e1a69@mail.gmail.com>

Hello:

We run nagios 3.0.6 with ndoutils and nagvis for host visualization. We had
some problems with our nagios server a couple of weeks ago and we believe it
is related to mysql performance, we could see that the mysql process was
consumming from 80 to 90 % of the CPU in the monitoring server at certain
times. We could solve the problem by applying a couple of indexes to the
nagios database (the one used by ndoutils) as recommended in thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net/msg23943.html

Afterwords we enabled monitoring for the nagios database by using the
check_mysql_health plugin and we see that the index usage for the nagios
database is under 10%. I am not a Database Administrator but I believe this
is a very low index usage.

I would like to konw if anyone has any recommendations about database
indexes applicable to the nagios database for ndoutils/nagvis.

Any tips/hints are appreciated

//Marco

Hi all, I'm quite new using nagios and I have a little problem.
Hostgroup view show me "It appears as though you do not have permission
to view information for any of the hosts you requested" error, but
cgi.cfg and permission in webserver seem all ok. Any idea?

Cheers,

Check with the users in the cgi.cfg and the http passwd file. There must have been some permission issues.

Else you can turn off authentication, unless its explicitly necessary.

I personally added indexes on the following fields :
* servicechecks / service_object_id
* servicechecks / state
* hostcheck / host_object_id
* hostcheck / state
* objects / objecttype_id
* services / host_object_id
* statehistory / object_id
* statehistory / state_change
* statehistory / state
* statehistory / state_time
* statehistory / last_state
* hoststatus / last_hard_state
* servicestatus / last_hard_state

Some may be useless to you.

Also consider adding this to your mysql config (for example in a file
under /etc/mysql/conf.d/ ) :


  [mysqld]
  innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2


It might mean you could lose a few seconds worth of data in the event
of a crash.  Whether this matters is for you to decide.  I found this
change made a dramatic difference to the startup time for Nagios.

Cheers,

Jim

Are you an authorized contact for all hosts in that hostgroup?

I don't think you disabled authentication. I don't believe it's  
possible to see that error with authentication disabled. Did you set  
use_authentication=0 in cgi.cfg? If yes, is htaccess still enabled?

All,
   I am running nagios with ndoUtils.  Ndo has been capturing data for about
6 months.  Now I need find a good graphing utility that can be integrated
with nagios.  I am looking for graphing capability from traditional database
not rrd utility.   Can someone suggest or point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: NRPE permissions problem
Message-ID: <deb38dcd0905130517x41a75f7fo531302988ed99256@mail.gmail.com>

I have a Nagios server 3.0.6 running on Ubuntu 8.04 Server.  It is
monitoring all things fine on multiple targets except the one below.

On a certain target, I am trying to monitor my /var/log/auth.log file for
bad activity, such as failed password attempts, or attempts to login as
invalid users, etc.

I am trying to do this via the check_log plugin via nrpe, but, I get a "Log
check error: Log file /var/log/auth.log is not readable!" when the server
checks on it.

The easiest way I have to reproduce the error is the following manually
executed command from the host server:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H target -c check_badpw

I know that it means that the file cannot be opened during the check, but, I
don't understand why.

ls -l of /var/log/auth.log:
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 1590863 2009-05-12 10:47 /var/log/auth.log

In /etc/groups, I have added the "nagios" user to the adm group, so I would
think it should work.

Further, if I am logged in as root on the target, and do "su - nagios", I
can read /var/log/auth.log

Further, if I "chmod o+r /var/log/auth.log", the command executes properly.

Additionally, when I am logged into the target as root, and su to nagios and
execute the command as defined in nrpe.cfg:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_log -F /var/log/auth.log -O
/usr/local/nagios/auth.badpasswords.log -q ": Failed password for"
it works fine.

So, I know it will work if I loosen the permissions on /var/log/auth.log,
but, I'd prefer to keep them as tight as possible.

When I am logged into the target as nagios and execute "id", I get,
uid=5308(nagios) gid=5309(nagios) groups=4(adm),5309(nagios)

When I embed "id" into the check_log script, I get:
uid=5308(nagios) gid=5309(nagios)

so, it would seem that it does not inherit the groups as I would assume it
would.

More configuration information:
nrpe runs under xinetd on the target:
service nrpe
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        port            = 5666
        wait            = no
        user            = nagios
        group           = nagios
        server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
        server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
        only_from       = 127.0.0.1 x.x.x.226
}

How can I determine why the check_nrpe command does not allow for reading of
the /var/log/auth.log file on the target machine?

I'm certain this was recently discussed but my search-fu is weak this  
morning. It might have been on -devel or nagios-plugins though... I  
didn't follow closely but the gist of it (I believe) is that xinetd  
drops/ignores any secondary groups the user is a member of before  
starting the server. No secondary groups, no access in your case.  
Looking at my xinetd.conf man page, I see the following which may  
help. You may also have better search-fu than me and can find the  
original thread...

        groups           Takes  either  "yes" or "no".  If the groups  
attribute
                         is set to "yes", then  the  server  is   
executed  with
                         access  to  the groups that the server's  
effective UID
                         has access to.  If the  groups  attribute   
is  set  to
                         "no",  then  the  server  runs  with  no  
supplementary
                         groups.  This attribute must be set to "yes"  
for  many
                         BSD  systems.   This  attribute  can  be   
set  in  the
                         defaults section as well.

I don't know what example to show you. Is the user you were logged in  
as listed as a contact for all hosts in at least one hostgroup?

Yes, it was... I use the default nagios config file style: each server
use a myserver-template where is defined a contact-group where send
emails. In this contact-group there is the concact I use to log-in...

Seems right... you know?

Thank you!!!!!  That was so simple, and yet, no matter where I tried
searching, I could not come up with it!!!

It worked like a champ!

And, thanks again for the previous help ;-)

I lost localhost.cfg entry in nagios.cfg main config file. In this
situation status.cgi still print the permission error while the real
problem is the missing entry in nagios.cfg file.

    # crle -u -l /opt/csw/lib

  Hello,

  I have passed the location of gd libraries and everything went fine. But when I try to access the web interface I am able to see only home page and  I am having  the below error message for all other options.


  Internal Server Error
  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

  Please contact the server administrator, webmaster at mon.corpads.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

  More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

  And from error log I find these below errors.

    It's because the GD libs (devel) are not installed or were not found
    in standard locations. There's a FAQ entry for it but it looks like
    the FAQ is broken right now. Examine the output of ./configure or
    config.log for information and links.

    if the GD devel libraries are installed, you may need to pass their
    location to ./configure with --

    --with-gd-lib=DIR sets location of the gd library
    --with-gd-inc=DIR sets location of the gd include files

Subject: Reporting issue
Message-ID: <4A0AFE5A.4050506@gmartin.org>

We;re currently using 3.06 in Production.  We use a custom availability 
timeframe to run reports every month to report availability data to 
Mgmt.  We noticed a change in behavior over the past couple months that 
has us puzzled.  When we run an availability report for the past month 
and choose the custom report period, it reports the duration as 30 
days.  Seems logical as that is the elapsed time of the report, but in 
the past, nagios would calculate that duration as the maximum 
availability based on the custom timeperiod we used to generate the report.

To make this a bit clearer, if our Production time was 18 hrs/day M-F 
and we defined that as Corp_Prod and we ran the report against it for, 
say, April 09.  Nagios would have reported the Duration as 396 hours 
(22days x 18hrs/day). 

However, in recent months we're noticing that Nagios report the calendar 
duration of the report with no regard for the customer timeperiod.

Any ideas whether something has changed or if we're doing something wrong?

Thanks

\\Greg

I read through and followed Wolfgang Barth's "Nagios 2nd Edition" for my 
Nagios 3/x install. Its been extremely helpful and covers lots of 
options. For graphing, it covered multiple options with reasons for 
each, including Nagiosgraph, Perf2rrd, drraw, NagiosGrapher, and PNP. 
After reading about them all and and such, I decided on PNP (pnp4nagios) 
as it was the best mix of ease of installation combined with 
functionality. Most that were easy to install were also somewhat 
limited. Those that were unlimited in scope were also difficult to 
install. pnp4nagios struck a good balance between both. There were some 
tweaks to make, though, so for this reason I recommend pnp4nagios but I 
also recommend Nagios 2nd Edition as it has all the changes and caveats 
covered.

Subject: Service escalations registering, but not enforcing
Message-ID: <4A0B1EA1.5000305@physics.ucsd.edu>

Hello,
I'm having an issue i have not been able to resolve.  I'm using nagios 
3.0.4 and have a ton of service escalations defined, however they do not 
seem to be enforced.  I've also noticed, that while i've defined all of 
my services to use the generic-service template (which by default, has a 
notification_interval set to 60) i receive notifications every 30 
minutes despite the generic-service definition and escalations. 

My services.cfg:  http://dpaste.com/43794/
My templates.cfg: http://dpaste.com/43795/

If i run nagios -v nagios.cfg my output looks like:



Nagios 3.0.4

So nagios can clearly see my service escalations.  So is there any 
apparent reason why my service escalations are not enforced?  And also, 
is there any apparent reason why my notification_interval is enforced as 
30 minutes, when it is set to 60 in templates.cfg?  Any 
help/input/ridicule would be greatly appreciated, as if i don't come up 
with a solution, i'm just going to trash this install and use nagios 2.x

Thanks,
Bruce

So i've also tested this problem with host escalations, and i have seen 
the same behavior.  Despite whatever settings i put into my host 
escalations, or my host definitions, i'm still receiving notifications 
every 30 minutes, any ideas?

Message-ID: <872CB0AEB377C240A112DD7C10B2592904B215FA@wtps0171.amers.ibechtel.com>

Hi All, 

Can someone help me understand the best way to assign contacts to hosts
en masse?  In version 1.x, we would create a hostgroup put the hosts
that we needed in it and then assign a contact group to that hostgroup,
done deal.  Now it appears that under Nagios 3 to accomplish the same
thing I have to create the hostgroup as before and then go to each host
and assign a contact or contact group to it.  That's much more tedious
than the old way, am I missing something?  Please tell me there's an
easier way that I'm overlooking.

I found this in the what's new in Nagios 2 doc's
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html):

Contact group changes - The contact_groups directive has been moved from
hostgroup definitions to host definitions <xodtemplate.html> . This was
done in order to maintain consistency with the way service contacts are
specified. Make sure to update your config files! 

Thanks, 

-greg

First, I'd rebuild a new linux server to run it on and get the latest
version running, even if it's only checking localhost and emailing me.

Examine very closely *all* old config files, figure out your old
installation and what checks will replace (if necessary) the older ones
from nagios-plugins standard programs, or if you  may need custom
plugins from nagiosexchange.org

Slowly rebuild the old configuration into the new, testing (and
improving/learning) as you go.

(that's just me though). ;)

Cheers,
jamie

Create a host template and assign your contacts there.

If you need to *override* contacts inherited from the template, do it in 
the host declaration itself like you would normally do. Exemple:

define host {
   address                 127.0.0.1
   alias                   localhost
   contacts                just_this_one
   host_name               localhost
   use                     generic-host
}

If you need to *add* contacts to the list of contacts already inherited 
from the template, add a "+" in front of the list of contacts in the 
host declaration. Example:

define host {
   address                 127.0.0.1
   alias                   localhost
   contacts                +oh_and_add_this_one_too
   host_name               localhost
   use                     generic-host
}

Hi all,
   I've been using nagios for a while, and we're needing to perform  
more active testing on our site than simply HTTP GET and POST  
operations.  I'm looking for a plugin to Nagios that can execute steps  
and report that assertions passed or failed.  I took at look at web  
inject, but we can only use it on a handful of our pages as Javascript  
isn't supported.  A lot of our pages update using Prototype and  
dynamic lists, so this won't allow us to create all the transactions  
we want.  Does anyone know of anything that can use xulrunner to load  
the firefox engine and report back to nagios?

Thanks,


todd

Hi,
It proboly is 1.3 if there is no windows config file.

Nagios 1.X did not have a windows config. that was added in either Nagios
2.X or 3.X.
but basically it is just a regular config file that sets up a few templets.
for monitoring a windows system.
I Do not recomend using it, PROVIDED you read the Windows section of the 3.X
manual since it lays out how to monitor a windows system.

one way to go is to take a look at selenium and write a wrapper plugin

I believe WebInject is often used for this, but haven't tried it myself (yet).

Me too :-)  I took that approach moving from 2.7 to 3.0.  It took a
while with 1700 or so hosts, but I feel the effort was worth it as
I've been able to take advantage of most of the new features in Nagios
3 and tidy up my config in the process.  I also took the opportunity
to move to Ubuntu LTS so hopefully I won't need to do a Linux upgrade
for a while.

I recommend maybe getting hold of one of the recent published books on
Nagios 3.  "Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring" published by
Syngress has a comprehensive section on what's new in Nagios 3 which I
found invaluable.  Otherwise I always highly recommend "Nagios" by
Wolfgang Barth 2nd Ed. published by NoStarch Press.

Cheers,

Jim

Did you change interval_length in nagios.cfg to be 0.5?
Do you see the expected value for notification_interval in  
objects.cache?
Do you have multiple nagios daemons running at the same time?

Subject: retained_service_attribute_mask and other alike
	config options : do they really work ??
Message-ID: <EA04FF699CD5274E9EC52CB5EC05087002149A41@DIODON.extra.cea.fr>

Hi,

 

I'm facing a strange problem.

 

I have in my definitions services for which notifications are disabled :
I'm still running those services on all nodes because it gives me
indication something went wrong on all nodes.

I recently had to suppress notifications for all services of a
hostgroups because of a general failure on those hosts, and problem is
that when I used the nagios CGIs to re-enable the service notifications,
notifications for those services I really don't want any notification
got enabled too... and I had to disable all those notifications in that
hostgroup again using the CGIs (I hope you follow).

 

So now I'm wondering how could I fix the situation, and restore things
to normal (i.e : according to services config file) without loosing all
services current state.

I just tried to use the following in my nagios 3.1 config file.

 

retained_service_attribute_mask=1

retained_process_service_attribute_mask=1

 

Tried that, because it looks like the correct value to use according to
include/common.h is :

#define MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED           1

 

(by the way : what's the real difference between those 2 variables ? I
can't understand the real difference reading the documentation)

Anyway : this didn't work. Services are still disabled on restart or
reload.

 

I then tried this :

retained_service_attribute_mask=MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED

retained_process_service_attribute_mask=MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED

 

I know values are wrong, but nothing prevented nagios from restarting.
And off course it still didn't work, services notifications are still
disabled.

So what ?

Are these configuration option really implemented ?

I'm trying to look into the code, and I don't see anywhere the values
defined in the code being used :

 

nagios-3.1.0]$ grep -r retained_service_attribute_mask *

base/nagios.c:unsigned long   retained_service_attribute_mask=0L;

base/utils.c:extern unsigned long retained_service_attribute_mask;

base/utils.c:   retained_service_attribute_mask=0L;

base/config.c:extern unsigned long retained_service_attribute_mask;

base/config.c:          else
if(!strcmp(variable,"retained_service_attribute_mask"))

base/config.c:
retained_service_attribute_mask=strtoul(value,NULL,0);

 

(and then, only html files)

 

...

 

So the C variable wouldn't be used at all ?

Am I missing something ?

Thanks && regards

There's no easy-to-follow document for this migration that I know of.  
You're likely to find much discussion of the 1.x -> 2.x migration and  
2.x -> 3.x  in the archives but you'll need to go pretty far back (4-5  
years for migration to 2.x).

My suggestion would be install the base nagios-3 software, configure  
nagios.cfg, resource.cfg and cgi.cfg by reading through them and  
setting appropriate values; most should be the same as your current  
install. Then to move your actual host and service definitions, read  
the What's New and Changelog for nagios-2 and make the changes noted  
there (mostly to object definitions and macros), then the same for  
nagios-3.

I?m searching for NRPE-Plugins for Linux / AIX including Performance Data.
Are there any plugins out there? I have found some modified for Windows but
not for Linux.

 

 

Thank you

A bit of creative scripting could make this work, if you deem it worth 
the time. You'd need to look at either your notification commands or 
some kind of event handlers. I tend to write event handlers for 
reactionary stuff like this, as I think it's the better choice.

Don't know of anything that is ready made to do it off the top of my 
head. I use Trac, but again it's not that important compared to 
everything else I do, so I haven't bothered with this as I find the 
ticket bureaucracy slows me down.

You'll find most of what you need on Monitoring Exchange.  In
particular for AIX 5.3, look at
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1438.html;d=1

The plugins for nrpe are the same as the ones you would use for Nagios
itself - you just need to make sure they're compiled to run on
whatever the target architecture is (which IME is easier said than
done on AIX!).

Cheers,

Jim

Yes, you'll find various plugins for AIX on Monitoring Exchange.  In
particular you'll find nrpe and various compiled plugins for AIX 5.3

Subject: Different configurations for backup times
Message-ID: <20090514130739.GG5702@arvo.suso.org>


  Hi, I recently reconfigured my nagios setup to monitor a lot more
things on my servers and its mostly working ok, but I'm running into
issues where I'm getting tons of notifictions during times that backups
are running.  Which is overnight of course.  The notifications happen
because the load on each machine will go up and sometimes a TCP
connection will fail for a few minutes.  I realize that this is really a
problem I need to deal with on my servers and I'm working on that too,
but I was wondering how I could tell nagios to be less agreesive
overnight. 

 From reading docs and looking at configuration files, I can only see
that I'd need to duplicate all my host and service entries so that they
notify a different contact group that has a different contact schedule.
Is this right or is there another better way?

Hi,

I have a productive Nagios instance with 200 clients and 1200 Services.

PNP4Nagios is also installed and working.

Actually everything is working just fine, except the machine has a 75-100% CPU Load, although I have already tweaked around the settings.

I want Nagios to have a mysql backend on another server so that the CPU Load decreases as other (also critical) services are currently running on this machine, which are starting to show errors.

Question is:

- How do I migrate the existing performance data to the mysql database (I have very little knowledge of databases)

- What is the command to send the performance data to the mysql database

- PNP4Nagios: How do I tell PNP4Nagios to pull its performance data from the mysql database


I have found very little information about this, so any help is greatly appreciated.


Regards,

Harald

You can't unless you are already logging performance data into mysql.
Nagios itself does not log performance data at all.

> - What is the command to send the performance data to the mysql database

Use the NDO Utils. Google is your friend.
Otherwise you need to dump the RRD databases of PNP and import
that into mysql with a script - but that script you need to write
yourself I guess.

> - PNP4Nagios: How do I tell PNP4Nagios to pull its performance data

You can't. PNP4Nagios stores its data in RRD databases. There is no
way to push it into a mysql DB and on the other hand, it wouldn't make
sense either for PNP.

> I have found very little information about this, so any help is 
> greatly appreciated.

I guess that's mainly since you misunderstood something. Nagios
naturally doesn't have the need a mysql backend. Nagios does have the
NDO Utils, which store realtime and historical data in a mysql DB, but
that's only for third-party applications that need that data. Mainly
there is nagiosgrapher and nagvis, maybe NagiosBP.

On a sidenote: it's a bad, bad idea to have critical services
running on your monitoring server. Service monitoring is always
stressing the machine when your installation is not exactly small
and you check often.

Conclusions:

- get a bigger server
- get faster storage
- move the other services from your nagios server

For some reason, it's taking longer than 5 seconds for /bin/mv to  
finish. Is the box heavily loaded (top, etc)? Are the disks

The box does indeed have some load on it... hence my other "performance 
tuning" request to the list. At present, its running Nagios, mySQL, and 
Cacti with Cacti polling approx 1500 devices every 5 minutes. Its a 
fairly good server, but the disk I/O has been problematic on occasion. I 
think I'll up the timeout to 30 seconds and watch the load.

Subject: Concise list of best overall performance tweaks
Message-ID: <4A0C1DB4.1020004@gmail.com>

If running the latest version(s) of Nagios and the plugins, using mysql, 
and gathering trending info, is there a list available of the best 
performance tweaks one can make? I seem to read a lot that mySQL is a 
resource whore when also on the Nagios server. Some have commented on 
seeing significant increases when moving it elsewhere. Others have 
mentioned adding lines like "innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2" into 
the mysql config file, while others have also mentioned database 
indexes, etc. Of course, for non-DBA's, knowing which databases to 
create indexes on (or how to do it without mucking it up) are up for 
debate. Log file rotation is always a good one, but this seems to be 
built into Nagios 3.x, though I've read of people running Cacti on their 
Nagios server as well and Cacti has no default log rotation. So... 
perhaps everyone could include the steps they took to resolve various 
performance issues... perhaps also including the actual steps taken (ie: 
if making indexes, which ones and why) and we can cull them into the 
Nagios wiki on NagiosExchange?

75-100% cpu load isn't necessarily bad. What's the load average and  
specs for the box? What do you see in top using the CPU the most/most  
often? With 1200 services and assuming checks every 5 minutes, any  
machine in the last decade should be able to handle that. Are you sure  
it's nagios that's the problem?

This won't help since nagios doesn't use a mysql backend. If you add  
NDOUtils to do this, it's only adding processing, not replacing any  
processing.

You'd have to dump all the RRD databases (man rrddump), munge that  
data and insert it into the DB. It won't help though because of (3)  
below...

This is complex and beyond the scope of this list. It's also pretty  
much unrelated to nagios. It won't help though because...

PNP4Nagios doesn't appear to support storing or reading performance  
data from a database.

Plus, for what its worth, on most systems these days you can move an HD 
to another system with more CPU/RAM which would negate the muck up all 
the Nagios stuff.

Virtualization is an alternative as well. We run Nagios and Cacti on one 
server and four instances of Splunk on four other servers. Last month, 
we used VMWare's P2V tool to make all five physical servers virtual, 
then moved them to a a Sun X4100 running ESXi. The only cost was the 
server. The overall load of each individual virtual server is under 50% 
and the ESXi box itself is sitting at only 30% load.

If disk space is an issue, another alternative is to clone the HD(s), 
then perhaps move to another server (in the case of going to IDE or SATA 
to SAS or SCSI, this is likely a must).

Message-ID: <8D7FBE84E6014208BB86A6F56D09E4FF@ap872c3fe40484>

I had a similar problem with my backups, as they looked like a disk problem 
to the nagios plugin.  I turn off notifications before the backup:

/usr/bin/su - nagios -c /usr/local/bin/wget --quiet -O - --post-data 
'cmd_typ=23&cmd_mod=2&host=yourhost&service=yourservice&btnSubmit=Commit' 
http://nagioserver/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi

and then turn them back on when it is done:

+ /usr/bin/su - nagios -c /usr/local/bin/wget --quiet -O - --post-data 
'cmd_typ=22&cmd_mod=2&host=yourhost&service=yourservice&btnSubmit=Commit' 
http://nagiosserver/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi

password is stored in .wgetrc

The other advantage of this is that the backup time can vary, and you don't 
have to change anything on the Nagios server.  The client knows best when it 
is running a backup.

Subject: Distributed and Redondant Nagios
Message-ID: <68ef8b500905140954l53ea7028rcf121b3f813e1954@mail.gmail.com>

Good Afternoon,

I search documentations, best practice or write book in order to set-up a
monitoring system with Nagios in 4 Datacenter.

Actually I think i will deploy 2 Nagios Daemon as Master (they will received
event states with ncsa, all the services will be declared in passive mode)
in two datacenter and 4 Nagios as collector. They will execute commands and
send events to Master Nagios.

Actually I would like to know :

- How the two master daemon can be redondant ? (active / active) (active /
passive) How to share state in real time between the two ?

- When the link between a master and collector Nagios is lost or a collector
Nagios is Lost. I would like the master nagios exectute checks. but the
parents hosts are not the sames becauses these two nagios are not in the
same Network / DC. I don't know how can I solve this.

In a other way I would like to have all my configuration in a database in
order to have the possibility of regeneration configuration, and simplify
management After many search I'havent find tools or software wich allow this
kind of architecture, with multiple master or collector. Provide all
parameters of definitions services and hosts and provide differents view on
collectors and Master

Thnks for your answers,

Regards

Thank you Marc and Sasha for the feedback. It is now clear to me that no
mysql backend is needed to decrease CPU Load.

Thanks for the tips on PNP4Nagios. 

To answer some of your questions:

- System Load is 3.5 on the 15 min counter.
- System specs:
Its a VM running on a DL585 with 32GB of RAM. 4 Opteron Processors. The
VM is currently 32-bit and is assigned 2 processors and 3,6GB RAM.
We have other low-demainding VMs running on the same machine.
- Top is always Nagios:
 4641 nagios    25   5 21684  10m 2440 S   15  0.3   2688:24 nagios3
15%CPU - 0.3 RAM
- Checks are every 5 mins
- I am certain Nagios is not the main problem, but I am currently
looking into lowering System Load/CPU usage.

The other Services we have currently running on the same machine have
very much to do with monitoring and the idea was to place them all in
one. Bosses love the word "centralized".

Anyway, I got the answers I needed.

Kindest regards to all,

Harald

75-100% cpu load isn't necessarily bad. What's the load average and  
specs for the box? What do you see in top using the CPU the most/most  
often? With 1200 services and assuming checks every 5 minutes, any  
machine in the last decade should be able to handle that. Are you sure  
it's nagios that's the problem?

This won't help since nagios doesn't use a mysql backend. If you add  
NDOUtils to do this, it's only adding processing, not replacing any  
processing.

You'd have to dump all the RRD databases (man rrddump), munge that  
data and insert it into the DB. It won't help though because of (3)  
below...

This is complex and beyond the scope of this list. It's also pretty  
much unrelated to nagios. It won't help though because...

PNP4Nagios doesn't appear to support storing or reading performance  
data from a database.

Can anyone tell me the benifits/features in the Nagios version 3 when we 
compared to version 1.3. 
I know the latest version is always better but, Just trying to see if it's 
worth the effort.

Hello,

I'm trying to monitor SAP and it's enough for my purposes to log in
using username and password to declare system to be running. I don;t
want to run CCMS on SAP machine.

I've reached "first step"
I have command definition in commands.cfg:

    command_line	$USER1$/check_sap_cons $ARG1$ $ARG2$


and service definition in localhost.cfg:

    check_command	check_sap_cons!BCE BCE

Well, when I run the adequate command from command line, I'm getting
message:

No information gathered! system up?

The same status is in HTML outup screen:

SAP1	CRITICAL 	05-14-2009 21:11:04 	0d 0h 58m 42s 	4/4 	No information
gathered! System up?


The result is, that system is announced as not running.

Is there any possibility to get OK status so the system looks like
OK runnig... or so?

Without CCMS?

THANK YOU

	Ales

Message-ID: <699b436a0905141202x3e666d85jc59c4e1a59597f89@mail.gmail.com>

 Hey Folks,

I know " socket timeout after 20 sec" has been discussed so many time in all
the forums and post, but still this is not so clear to me.

Nagios server : RHEL 5

NC_NET used on Windows server.

In startup.cfg the port is 12489 and the ip_passive is ip address of the
nagios server.

Even through the Linux cli i get the same error

./check_nt -H <ip_windows_server> -v FREEDISKSPACE -l C -w 80 -c 90 -p 1248
-t 50
CRITICAL - socket timeout after 50 sec

I really have been breaking my head on this. Please suggest some idea or
your experience

If you're asking this question, you should upgrade. It's telling that  
you do not know how to find this out yourself ;) . For no other  
reason, the longer you wait --
	- the more capable you must be to support yourself. There are likely  
to be few people here that used 1.3, let alone remember specific  
details about it to help support you. The longer you wait, the fewer  
there are.
	- the more difficult it will become to convert your existing system  
to the new version. There are required configuration changes for each  
version. The greater the difference between versions, the more complex  
it becomes.

If your comfortable with those, then in brief--
	- Bug fixes too numerous to count
	- Significant performance improvements, especially for larger sites.
	- Active host checks are no longer detrimental (but still aren't  
required)
	- Multi-line plugin output is supported
	- much improved timeperiod definitions/flexibility
	- Native DB support dropped
	- Event Broker API added
	- Regex support within config files.

For a more complete list, see the 'What's New' documentation for each  
version at http://www.nagios.org/docs/ (click the HTML link for each  
version).

There is a firewall blocking the traffic somewhere along the way, or you
have managed to build a cyclic token-ring network (if you don't know what
those are, consider yourself lucky and look over your firewalls).

I'm too young to remember version 1.3!

> worth the effort.

Where can I start??

Here's my personal favourite features of 3 over 2 :

Templates, inheritance and suchlike are a whole lot better in 3, so
you can create a much leaner set of config files.  Especially you no
longer need to specify seperate hostextinfo and serviceextinfo
definitions.  This for me has halved the time it takes to add new
hosts & services in many cases.

A huge difference is that host checks can now be run in parallel.
This for me means Nagios can cope okay during a major outage (although
I'm pleased to report we haven't had any of those since I upgraded to
3 except planned ones).

There are lots of other diferences, but those are the ones which have
made the biggest difference to me.

Another thing well worth noting is that there are lots of really great
add-ons for Nagios and you won't be able to try most of them unless
you upgrade.  IMO, PNP is an absolutely must-have and is just
oh-so-easy to install.  It gets even better when combined with DRRAW.
NagVis is absolutely brilliant for doing dashboards (if that's what
you want).  NexSM is a great replacement for the network map -
especially if you have more than a couple of dozen hosts.

And lastly, now that you know how brilliant Nagios 3 (with addons) is,
if you don't upgrade then everyone here will question your sanity!
:-)

hth,

Jim

Try opening a telnet session to that port (to test the firewall theory)
telnet <ip_windows_server> 1248

you should get:
Trying <ip address>
Connected to <ip address>.
Escape Character is '^\]'.


Then Ctl-C to exit out of it (if your in linux that's what it looks like)

50 Seconds is pretty long.  I have a server that is monitored by nagios,
2000+ miles away and 14 traceroute hops.  It was taking longer than 20
seconds, so I set it to 60 seconds, and it takes ~30seconds..so I just
doubled in case of network latency.

There is a firewall blocking the traffic somewhere along the way, or you
have managed to build a cyclic token-ring network (if you don't know what
those are, consider yourself lucky and look over your firewalls).

My opinion FWIW is that sort of information should go in to the
installation scripts (in the case of required  indexes) and in to the
package README (in the case of MySQL tweaks).  In fact if I don't see
them in the next release I might even have a go at submitting these
changes myself (although I've never used cvs/git/svn/whatever so it
might be a steep learning curve for me).

The proof of the pudding, so they say, is in the eating! :-)

Cheers,

Jim

I can't help wondering if you're running all your checks at 1-minute intervals?

If you're not doing so already, you might like to consider running
your less time-critical checks at 5-minute intervals or more.

hth,

Hi

Thanks for your response at first.

FYI: There is no firewall that is blocking this port. Of course it might be
possible that the specific port might be used by another application. Please
let me know any futher suggetions.

Can i try switching to nrpe.?

Don't know if that's just a typo but you set port 12489 in startup.cfg
but use 1248 when executing check_nt.

I have also experienced this quite a lot of times on networks where 
there has been inconsistent duplex and speed settings on network cards 
and switches. My recommendation is to always fix the speed on 
connections between routers and switches otherwise you can get this 
speed renegotiation which causes short downtimes or mismatch in the 
duplex having one port decide that it's half-duplex and the connected 
port full-duplex, both will cause a lot of socket timeout in Nagios.

I did it last week for one server of mine.
I did so:
1) Install in /usr/local/nagios3 new version of nagios (if you have another system it's better)
2) cp -R /usr/local/nagios/etc (nagios-1.4.1) /usr/local/nagios3/etc  (nagios-3.1.0)
3) check config (/usr/local/nagios3/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios3/etc/nagios.cfg) and make all request changes
4) mv /usr/local/nagios /usr/local/nagios-1.4.1 (and do the same for init daemon and http config)
5) compile and install nagios-3.x in default dir (you can install also in another path but I see that some links have to change manualy)

This is the fastest way but probably it isn't the best way.
Bye

nagios not found on this server.  Obviously it something to do with the

Message-ID: <2a466c210905150546v245b22ecq1d861e367f4a85b5@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I've recently completed a distributed installation of Nagios consisting of a
master server acting as the web front end for Nagios and 2 slave servers
that do all the service checking.

Currently we are monitoring approx 500 hosts and perform approx 3300 service
checks.

Nagios performs daily rotation of the logs and they are approx 250MB in size
for each 24 hours period.

I am having some difficulty running availability reports at the moment. I am
able to generate reports for the current day but if I try and run a report
against data that has been archived I get an internal server error from
Apache.

I don't think it is a permissions issue nor do I think it's a security
issue. Memory usage on the web box is quit high and avail.cgi seems to use a
lot of it so it could be something as simple as not enough memory in the
machine (The server currently has 3GB)

The server is running Fedora Core 10 as it's OS.

If any one can shed some light on this issues it would be most appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Paul Corcoran

errors, but when I try to access the web front end I get the  404 error,
nagios not found on this server.  Obviously it something to do with the
http.conf file.  Can anyone shed any light on this please

Hello - Please include the relevant portion of your apache's httpd.conf
that has to do with the nagios install, and perhaps we can help more.
Also, your version of nagios would be helpful. 

(Usually, you can examine the "quickstart" apache part of the
installation on Nagios.org, and adjust the httpd.conf section
accordingly to match your installation)

Regards,
jamie

Dear all,

Yes the problem was with my nsswitch.conf. I was on a guess that nrpe was querying my ldap servers for the services, but it wasn't the case (my
nsswitch.conf was configured to query only files for the services). Instead NRPE was querying LDAP for the group that was causing the timeouts.
The default timeout for NRPE was of 10 seconds and that for my LDAP server was more than 10, that was causing the error.

Doing "group files [unavail=return] ldap" in my nsswitch.conf and reducing the gid for nagios group to less than 500 helped solve the problem.

Ales,

In the same plugin kit that has the SAP CCMS checkers, there is one called check_R3 or something like that (I'll check into it and reply back when I find the right one).  It does a basic R3 connection to make sure that it gets a response.  So, it is more reliable than just a server check as this way you know that the SAP system is up.

Is there any reason you don't want CCMS?  It is installed and running by default on all SAP systems and is the same thing that Solution Manager uses when it gathers diagnostics.

Thanks,

Subject: [Nagios-users] Checking SAP not running SAP CCMS

Hello,

I'm trying to monitor SAP and it's enough for my purposes to log in
using username and password to declare system to be running. I don;t
want to run CCMS on SAP machine.

I've reached "first step"
I have command definition in commands.cfg:

    command_line	$USER1$/check_sap_cons $ARG1$ $ARG2$


and service definition in localhost.cfg:

    check_command	check_sap_cons!BCE BCE

Well, when I run the adequate command from command line, I'm getting
message:

No information gathered! system up?

The same status is in HTML outup screen:

SAP1	CRITICAL 	05-14-2009 21:11:04 	0d 0h 58m 42s 	4/4 	No information
gathered! System up?


The result is, that system is announced as not running.

Is there any possibility to get OK status so the system looks like
OK runnig... or so?

Without CCMS?

THANK YOU

	Ales

Subject: Host vs Service reachability
Message-ID: <4A0D89BE.1010307@lafayette.edu>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

	I'm looking at possibly disabling my service pings and moving over
completely to host checks for reachability.  I'm unsure of the exact
mechanics, though, so if someone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

	So, to start, if a host has no current services, is the host_check
still intermittent?  Or does it become an active check at a specific
interval, similar to a service?  We have several hosts that we only
check for connectivity as opposed to services, for a variety of reasons.

	From what I've read of Nagios 3, it sounds like using host checks is
more efficient.  Are there instances, though, where services may show
up, but the host is down?  Does the host_check run at specified
intervals, even though service checks don't show a problem?

	Is there a compelling reason to not do this?  ie, am I inviting a world
of hurt by using host checks vs a service ping?

Thanks,

Message-ID: <86E8DA9E18BC2344BD0218BF23C88DF3010AF86C4C1E@MAIL06.curamsoftware.com>

I have just installed nagios from the HPUX Internet Express cd, where it comes as a depot. Running it locally, it comes up as V2.12. I added it to the inetd.conf and services and forced inetd to recheck its config.

bash-3.2# grep -i nrpe /etc/*
/etc/inetd.conf:nrpe         stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/bin/nrpe -c /opt/iexpress/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
/etc/services:nrpe            5666/tcp        # NRPE

When I telnet to the machine on the port, it throws back as if I had entered the command with no switches at the machine prompt (included at end).

If I run it locally

bash-3.2# /usr/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -p 5666
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

So I try without ssl (even though openssl is installed)

bash-3.2# /usr/libexec/check_nrpe -n -H localhost -p 5666
CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon.

Because when I telnet its giving the nrpe command, am I right in thinking for somereason its not loading the conf file? If not, how can I remedy this situation?

I've ready through the doc's twice, but each time I come out with a
different idea of how this is supposed to be set.  Below is my current
attempt:

define servicedependency{
    dependent_host_name                 Server1,Server2
    dependent_service_description
DistributedQueue-ConsumersCurrentCount
    host_name                           Server3
    service_description
DistributedQueue-ConsumersCurrentCount
    notification_failure_criteria       w,c,u
    }
define servicedependency{
    dependent_host_name                 Server2,Server3
    dependent_service_description
DistributedQueue-ConsumersCurrentCount
    host_name                           Server1
    service_description
DistributedQueue-ConsumersCurrentCount
    notification_failure_criteria       w,c,u
    }
define servicedependency{
    dependent_host_name                 Server1,Server3
    dependent_service_description
DistributedQueue-ConsumersCurrentCount
    host_name                           Server2
    service_description
DistributedQueue-ConsumersCurrentCount
    notification_failure_criteria       w,c,u
    }


And here is what I am trying to accomplish:

I have three hosts, each with the same service running.  If < 3 of these
hosts has that service die it is ok, and I want it to show critical, but not
alert, but if all three of them show that service down It needs to alert.

Right now it is alerting if any of the three show that service down,
regardless of any of the other two having that service showing OK.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Matt Nelson

All,
   When someone click onto hostgroup summary and they are taken to the
following link

https://example/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=fake-groups&style=overview


now in this link it lists all hosts that belongs to fake-groups.  All these
clickable host links will take us to the following link if we were to click
on them.

https://example.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=fakehost&style=detail


This is great but if that particular host did not have any service attache
to it then it takes you to an empty page.  This can be quite confusing for
managers and less technical people of the organization.   However if those
clickable links were to take us to the following link, then it would create
less confusion.  Please advise on this.  Thanks

Hi,

	I have a strange problem with our Nagios installation. One machine in 
particular is always reporting a failure when everything should be OK. 
The machines pushes the service's status with NCSA. Here is what I see 
in my nagios.log file:

"no output" message in nagios usually means: "Your script has an error".

Tahe the script which is supposed to execute "notify-by-email" command
and execute it by hand. It should fail and give an error msg. This will
give you a hint.

Good luck.

I have already checked that my command works. The script reporting disk 
usage and sending it to Nagios already runs fine on the other 30+ 
machines and running the script manually works just fine too.

What I forgot to mention in my previous e-mail (sorry about that) is 
that Nagios says the service just recovered a few minutes later. From 
what I understood in the logs, the machine reports it's disk space 
usage, Nagios emits a warning even if the script sent the appropriate 
usage and a few minutes later when the script is re-run (I've shortened 
it's cron launch time) Nagios notices that everything is OK and sends 
back notices by e-mail.


Any ideas?

Thanks!

You may also check whether you run it by hand as the right user. Common
mistake is to execute plugins or scripts as one user 9say, root) and
then nagios executes them as another one (say "nagios"). It works for
user root but not for user nagios.

If I understand correctly nagios sends notifications  regardless whether
the service is OK or not. Check the "notification criteria" field in
service configuration file. maybe you've simply told nagios to send msg
always.

(But I admit I do not fully understand your problem description here).

Well, I don't know that this will be of much help, but I would  
strongly suspect that memory is not the issue- I have a server with  
about 300 hosts, although there are significantly fewer services than  
you have, but it is running quite happily and generating reports for  
whatever period I want, with only 512MB ram. Actually, about 300MB of  
that is free at the moment, and when I run an availability report, the  
cgi only uses around 3MB. So whatever the issue is, I would doubt the  
problem is a lack of memory.

Thanks for your reply Tom.
I really appreciate that you take a few minutes of your time to help me 
on this one.

The Nagios server does not actively check the disk status of every 
monitored server. Each server has a script in it's crontab that checks 
the disks and sends the status via NCSA to the main Nagios server.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not think the user running the script 
on the monitored host can interfere with how the Nagios server will 
parse the answer. Am I right?

Every 30 minutes, the monitored server sends it's disk status (passive 
check) to the central Nagios server. When the output sent or when there 
is no output sent (after an hour or two), Nagios will emit a notice. 
However, in my case, I get a failure notice and a recovery notice every 
hour, as if Nagios would not interpret the output he receives and the 
alert me that it's OK after having parsed it.

The server monitored is an idle server with 85% disk free and it is 
always reporting correct disk usage (confirmed by the logs I sent 
earlier) but still, Nagios tells me there is no output and then tells me 
it's OK. There are a few minutes between the time Nagios receives the 
disk status and the time Nagios sends me the warning.

I hope this is clearer,

Thanks,

Subject: Available Macro's in notes_url
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0905151358550.27758@daredevil.rutgers.edu>

We are running Nagios 3.1.0 and are trying to access various Macros
(e.g. $HOSTGROUPNAME$) from within a host definition's notes_url, for
example:

<snipped>
notes_url /notes/hostinfo.php?HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME$&HOSTGROUPNAME=$HOSTGROUPNAME$
<snipped>

The file hostinfo.php is simple for now, it just echo's out the
query passed:

<?php
echo $_GET["HOSTNAME"] . " is the hostname!!!";
echo '<br>';
echo $_GET["HOSTGROUPNAME"] . " is the hostgroupname!!!";
echo '<br>';
?>

The $HOSTNAME$ Macro correctly gets expanded out (either when hovering
over the notes icon or viewing the notes webpage the link is pointing
to), however the $HOSTGROUPNAME$ Macro does not get expanded.
Interestingly, custom Macros defined for a host definition are also
expanded correctly when used in the notes_url.

We came across a few posts about this issue:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/60602
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/52775

the latter post stating Nagios 3x may address this issue of what
Macros may be available for the notes_url.

Is there any documentation/plans/etc... of what Macros are/will be
accessible from the notes_url? Did we overlook something? Is there a
way to access the $HOSTGROUPNAME$ Macro within a host definition's
notes_url?

Message-ID: <4A0DC4F6.6000404@gmail.com>

I'm seeing the following:

HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 400 No Host matches server name seth.my.int.domain

This is what the test looks like in Nagios:

## HTTP - alternate port
define service {
        host_name                       seth
        service_description             HTTP

        check_period                    24x7

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

Oddly enough, all other tests for this host seem to have no issue at all 
with the hostname. The URL also works in a web browser 
(http://seth.my.int.domain:8080/gp/pages/login.jsf works correctly). 
 From the Nagios server, I go hit the URL from lynx and curl w/o issue. 
There's proper name resolution (forward and reverse) in place. I'm lost...

Ouch, now you've got me. I know nothing about NCSA. I am afraid I am of
no help here.

I am not sure if I understand your question - and as I said, if you use
NCSA then my expertise ends here anyway.

As I said, if you use NCSA then I have no clue. I did very little
passive monitoring and all what I did was with cgi scrips, not NCSA.

My naive advice would be to feed "by hand" simulated response to nagios.
(When you run cgi you simply fill a form and submit result). Then you
see thether the problem is with script of with nagios. But I have no
idea how to do it in NCSA.

What in the world are you logging and how volatile is your network?  
8500+ services here --

1.7M	nagios-05-10-2009-00.log
1.9M	nagios-05-11-2009-00.log
1.9M	nagios-05-12-2009-00.log
2.3M	nagios-05-13-2009-00.log
2.2M	nagios-05-14-2009-00.log
5.6M	nagios-05-15-2009-00.log

Seems to me that you need to tune down your logging settings...

[nagios at noctools etc]$ grep log_ nagios.cfg
log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
log_rotation_method=d
log_archive_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/archives
log_notifications=1
log_service_retries=1
log_host_retries=1
log_event_handlers=1
log_initial_states=0
log_external_commands=1
log_passive_checks=0

Nagios/NSCA don't parse the answer at all, other than to say '(no  
output)' when the passive results or plugin execution have no text  
output. This is most often caused by an error being returned by the  
plugin.

Something is happening, either with the execution of the check_disk  
plugin, the passing of those results to send_nsca or send_nsca's  
transmission of those results to nagios. I expect it's one of the  
first two but you can easily work this issue backwards. Put NSCA into  
debug mode on the nagios server. Observe the check results coming in.  
If they are not correct, add debugging output to your script that's  
executing the plugin and passing the results to send_nsca, have it log  
to a file, to identify where the breakdown is occurring. That should  
guide you on how to fix it.

You could also capture any error output generated by the plugin to  
adding '2>&1' to the end of the check_disk line.

Oddly enough, low-level tests show an HTTP 302, which I expect. But 
Nagios is offering up a 400 error and a warning:

 From my workstation, confirming the server is configured correctly:

I always use a daily cron script/s to setup Downtime schedual to handle that
issue.
the flexable downtime, may be better if the hosts always recover within X
min while Fixed is better if you know the host will go down at X and e back
up at Y

As Peter pointed out,

If the Startup Config port is 12489 then NC_NEt is expecting the request on
that port.

But the check_nt is specifying 1248.

The passive port is not used unless you are using NSCA with nc_net.
the default config of NC_NET (if the config file is empty or missing)
works on port 1248 and usually fits most check_nt commands.

Let us know if the problem persists,

Run the check_http as defined in the command definition, appending the
-v argument.  You'll get to see what the check_http command is
executing.  I suspect your command definition is incorrect, and you're
missing something that is supposed to be triggering the "host" header.

Hrm... this is odd, looks like you are posting the right host entry
(would still like to see the command definition).  The host entry for
"seth", is the address defined the same as the IP you are getting when
you telnet to the name? ie:

define host {
  host_name   seth
  address        10.1.1.23
}

A service may show up, and a host down if the times for checking
overlap.  For example, a service check every 10 minutes, and host
checks every 1 minute.  A host check could show the server down,
whilst the service check will show it is OK.

It can also depend on what you consider for your host check too.  For
example, if you cannot ping, and you use the check_ping/check_icmp
functions, you'll show the host down, but services up.

You're actually "inviting a world of hurt" doing it the other way
around (service ping over host check).  Host checks will help surpress
service notifications, as well as help manage network reachability if
you use parents (see [1]).  Take for example, a host you have FTP,
HTTP, and your ping check on.  If you the host goes down, the ping
service will show down, but FTP, and HTTP tests will also show
unreachable, or timeout, causing 3 notifications.  If the host check
was to be used, you'd get a notification the host was down, rather
than 3 to report host issues.  You can, of course, work around this
with service dependencies, but that complicates your configuration.

Hi,

this may be related to freshness checking.


check what your freshness check command is,
then test it to see what its output is.
IF you have the Hosts reporting every 1/2 hr
and nagios freshness testing every 1 hr,
that means if one check is accedenly droped before nagios processes it
 ( this can happen for different reasons)
your odds of failing a freshness test drastically increase.
this would be noticed if the Hosts check is recieved within a few minutes
afte the alert
I like to setup freshness checking for 3-5x the check interval
so for testing every 1/2 hr, I would freshness check every 2-3 hrs not every
1 hr.

Here's some dependencies that I've setup

Here's how the setup is

User --> Dansguardian --> Squid --> Internet
So, Dansguardian relies on Squid Proxy
Both are running on the same host, gw

The Nagios definitions I use for this dependency are:

define servicedependency   {
   name                             std_dependency
   execution_failure_criteria       w,c,p,u
   notification_failure_criteria    w,c,p,u
   inherits_parent                  1
   register                         0
   }
define servicedependency   {
   use                              std_dependency
   dependent_host_name              gw
   dependent_service_description    Dansguardian Process
   host_name                        gw
   service_description              Squid Process
   }

define servicedependency   {

Hugo is onto something there.

This is exactly how we do it.
We deploy a Nagios instance for each customer. The remote Nagios 
instance is configured on our central server and the remote server 
drives all of the notifications/alerting etc

Our web site explains it in more detail www.smartmon.com.au

  yes, so do we at Valid. We just add @<customer> after each hostname
in nagios. E.g. host1 at abc.

Subject: cannot make comments under nagios after server
	crash. nagios.cmd missing
Message-ID: <c4d69730905161536t3f4decfbr88dd3bbfc93a2f50@mail.gmail.com>

I recently had a server crash. I recovered and restarted nagios
manually but now I seem to have lost the ability to make comments on
hosts. If I try I get the error message:

Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'!
The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running,
and/or Nagios may not be checking external commands.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.


That file is indeed missing. Running a "locate nagios.cmd" though
shows the file at that location so it must have been there before the
crash.

Do I need to restart something? What am I missing.

The older comments are intact though. It is just that I cannot make
new comments.

Try restarting Nagios.

nagios.cmd is actually not a file, but a socket. It is very important, 
not just for comments, but for a lot of other things, too. It should get 
deleted when you stop nagios, and recreated when you start it. 
Apparently, when you restarted nagios "manually" somehow that step got 
bypassed.

Subject: Monitoring Checkpoint FW without SNMP.
Message-ID: <b8552ef40905170229m120b55d3r9f5d7e8d9d108e25@mail.gmail.com>

I want to monitor a check point FW using Nagios.

There's a plugin for monitoring Check Point FW:

http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_cpfw.html

but I want something that works without SNMP and with OPSEC:

http://www.opsec.com/

plus if you have other ideas of monitoring Check points FW without SNMP
using Nagios.

Thank you.

Thanks for the replies.

Looking through nagios.cfg it seems that Nagios is logging ALL passive
checks.

Will setting this value to 0 still allow us to get meaningful availability
reports?

Thanks,

Paul

This falls into the "try-and-find-out" category of questions. It would
have been faster for you to do that than it was sending an email and
awaiting the response.

Message-ID: <OFF93DCBF7.F54D7514-ONC12575BA.004AAF81-C12575BA.004BA2AB@absi.be>

hello
i have troubles in our infrastructure with nrpe giving critical alerts 
when the nrpe socket timeout. 
this happens randomly from time to time in several servers. 
i really have no clue what is the cause, the service is up between two 
minutes, but the alerts causes sms to be sent for 'falses alarms' as there 
is nothing wrong with the servers just the nrpe plugin that for a few 
instants cannot contact the server. 
is there a way to troubleshoot this? which side should it be 
troubleshooted? server side or client side. 
nagios.log doesn't give many info: just : 
disk_root;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 
seconds.

of course sms are not free and we want to find a way to avoid this? is 
this a network problem? and not linked with nrpe? 

nrpe runs already in debug mode. 

thank you in advance 

Mario G.

Well, yes and no. The checks of the config files didn't show any errors, 
but that doesn't mean the developers accounted for the situation and 
that I won't see any anomalies as a result. I was hoping that another 
user might've had some experience with it... something like "hey I tried 
this and it broke that" or "no problems here, go for it". That's what 
lists like this are for. I already RTFM'd and its not mentioned. Hence 
why I asked the list. And as for it being faster to try than to wait... 
not sure about you, but my Nagios server is considered a production 
system. Thus, for me it pays to wait for a response and play it safe 
than to rush ahead and potentially break something... few people in IT 
ever muck things up by waiting for good input, but quite a few have 
screwed stuff up by jumping ahead without enough information.

FWIW: I have gone ahead and tried it and it does appear to work, though 
I'll have to wait to see if any issues result.

Thanks for taking the time to write an answer that didn't provide any 
input on the actual question I posed.

That's not the NSClient++ URL. In fact, you can't put a "+" in a URL. :) 
The URL is http://nsclient.org/nscp/, though the OP5 guys have it as 
well and with a few modifications...

You'd be able to see the services assigned to the hosts so that's a  
strong indicator it's good.

In any event --

Great idea to always have a lab system around if you are using Nagios
in a production environment, we keep a dev and test environment
available just for this purpose, so we can break, test, etc, as
needed.

You can even use VMWare or Cygwin for this purpose.

Should have been no waiting at all here for your answer, and your
question was poorly worded , you gave no indication that you were a
one env shop or anything of the like ... so it came off as laziness.

While in the past there have been many times where I did not care at
all for Andreas' behavior on the lists, it seems recently he has
really changed his approach, and I think his answer was perfectly
appropriate and it was even polite to boot.

That's a good idea. Thanks. I hadn't really thought of defining a group, 
then excluding certain hosts.

Well, the point was that the example shows just what you were asking
about; using host_name and hostgroup_name in the same service{}
definition. The exclusions are just icing on the cake.

Absolutely. Nagios doesn't use those log entries for anything. They're
for human consumption only. You can use inline perl or sed to remove
those from existing logs to slim them down as well. Sanity dictates you
make a backup of those files first though.

Excellent.  This is pretty much what I gathered from various sources,
but I just wanted to make sure.  Thanks!

Subject: OID's missing for check_snmp_cpfw.pl
Message-ID: <4A119CD2.4080504@gmail.com>

I'm trying to make use of check_snmp_cpfw.pl against a pair of redundant 
CP firewalls. For any test I try, I see:

    cannot find oids / CPFW Status : CRITICAL

I've verified all the perl stuff including Net::SNMP and Getopt::Long

    ./check_snmp_cpfw.pl -H 10.1.1.250 -C obfuscated -swm
    FW : cannot find oids / SVN : cannot find oids / MGMT : cannot find
    oids / CPFW Status : CRITICAL

it appears from the website that the script was last updated on 2007. 
We're running IP250's with the latest Firewall-1 s/w. Perhaps the script 
is too old for our h/w or s/w? I'm thinking that maybe the script only 
works on FW1 on local UNIX servers? But since its going over SNMP over 
the network, I'm sort of doubting this.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any solution? Is anyone else using the 
latest, greatest FW-1 s/w on an IP250 and this script works for them?

Subject: Odd check_http error

You were correct. My check command showed:

# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_http
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

But my test was passing two arguments (-p and -u). Once I updated the 
test to use $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ all worked immediately. Thanks 
for the help. :)

I am getting this error and not certain what gives.? Tried various solutions including creating a link to ../net dir but still get?errors.??I did yum installs of relevant *snmp* packages.? Is there a standard fix for this error?
?
1 - [root at localhost libexec]# ./check_ifstatus -H localhost
Can't locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/nagios/libexec /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at ./check_ifstatus line 39.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_ifstatus line 39.

2 - SNMP.pm is?(not on @INC path, but created a link to ...Net/) on?the following location:?
[root at localhost libexec]# find / -name SNMP.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/SNMP.pm
[root at localhost libexec]#
?
3 - Looks like I got relevant rpm installed:
[root at localhost libexec]# rpm -qa | grep -i snmp
net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-5.el5
net-snmp-perl-5.3.2.2-5.el5
net-snmp-5.3.2.2-5.el5
[root at localhost libexec]#

4.? Edited the file ../check_ifconfig? and replaced "use Net::SNMP;" with use "SNMP;" but that created other errors.
?
?
?
?

As root, try "perl -MCPAN -e shell" then "install Net::SNMP". You may 
want to first do "install Bundle::CPAN", then "install Net::SNMP". Also 
open up the test script (assuming its not a compiled binary) and check 
for all the "use" lines and make sure they're installed. For example, 
from another script I saw:

use strict;
use Net::SNMP;
use Getopt::Long;

So my steps were:

     >sudo su -
    perl -MCPAN -e shell
    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan
    reload index
    install Net::SNMP
    install Getopt::Long

For each, I installed prereq's where prompted...

Also, depending on your OS, you may want to update the OS first before 
doing the above. For example, with CentOS, an "yum -y update" is good 
practice every now and then... keeps you nice and current. But keep in 
mind that anything built against a specific package may fail (last time 
I did this, Cacti choked as it was built against a specific version of a 
library and needed to be recompiled).

Other common perl modules to consider include DBI, DBD::mysql, etc...

Oh, and put the Net::SNMP line that you changed back... unfortunately, 
the output of your RPM query is showing the SNMP programs themselves. 
The script you're using is looking for the Perl module Net::SNMP. 
net-snmp and Net::SNMP are two completely different things, yet often 
times codependent.

Hope this helps...

Sorry for the delayed reply....
Actuall that was a typo error. Its actually ./check_nt -H
<ip_windows_server> -v FREEDISKSPACE -l C -w 80 -c 90 -p 12489 -t 50
CRITICAL - socket timeout after 50 sec


Any suggetions.......

I also re installed the NC_NET on the windows and then tested with the usual
port but still no progress.i.e

./check_nt -H <ip_windows_server> -v FREEDISKSPACE -l C -w 80 -c 90 -p 1248
-t 50

Output:

CRITICAL - socket timeout after 50 sec


Please give me some alternate suggetions..

Hi folks, 

I've been getting these messages from my nagios page under mrtg: "check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file" in which Im unable to figure it out why?

here's my config file:
# Monitor Port 1 Bandwidth Usage
define service{
        use                     mrtg-service
        host_name               ciscoasa-firewall
        service_description     SDFWPORT1_BAND_USE
        check_command           check_local_mrtgtraf!/var/www/mrtg/192.168.1.253_1.log!AVG!1000000,1000000!5000000,5000000!10
        }

When I launch the command manually, same error. 

Here's my command looks like:
# 'check_local_mrtgtraf' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_local_mrtgtraf
        command_line    $USER1$/check_mrtgtraf -F $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ -e $ARG5$
        }

Please someone advise. 

Thank you! 
DB

Subject: Question about Check Command field
Message-ID: <F76F46ADD6410C4BBBB7F0A6E4A331A30169962F@PHSXMB26.partners.org>

Hi there --

I completed the installation of Ignoramus 0.2.3, and I was going through the
list within the Check Command.
The list of services does not include all of the plugins that are available
within Nagios. One example would be
the check_disk plugin. 

Can I modify the services.php file to include any additional check command that
I want, or do I need to create
a custom command instead? Thanks.

CPAN can sometimes be useful, but if you're on an RPM system and there's 
an RPM available for the perl package you want I would highly recommend 
going the RPM route. It's too bad cpan isn't easier to turn into an rpm 
(besides cpan2rpm which I often find to be less useful than it's name 
would imply.)

I absolutely agree with Frank - you can *really* mess up an RPM-based
distro by using CPAN if you are not VERY careful what you do, so do so
at your own risk! :\

(if you *must* use packages required by CPAN - instead, try and figure
out how to add 3rd party repos such as rpmforge etc, as there is almost
always an RPM pre-built by Dag Wiers or other package maintainers that
you can use and keep your system sane instead). 

Cheers,
Jamie

 Hi Nagios experts:

Below is the Alert history for the the host , and the max_check_attemps is =
5


[05-11-2009 16:46:57] HOST ALERT: benfwca;DOWN;HARD;5;FPING CRITICAL
- (loss=100% )
[05-11-2009 16:43:36] HOST ALERT: benfwca;DOWN;SOFT;4;FPING CRITICAL
- (loss=100% )
[05-11-2009 16:40:30] HOST ALERT: benfwca;DOWN;SOFT;3;FPING CRITICAL
-(loss=100% )
[05-11-2009 16:37:30] HOST ALERT: benfwca;DOWN;SOFT;2;FPING CRITICAL
- (loss=100% )
[05-11-2009 16:34:16] HOST ALERT: benfwca;DOWN;SOFT;1;FPING CRITICAL
- (loss=100% )

If you could notice the check frequency is approx= 3 min .

Is it possible to reduce this parameter, if yes then what is the parameter
that i have to look for.
I dont want to reduce the max_check_attemps to a lower value.

All i want to have is check every 1 min for 5 attemps and mark it as HARD
state.

Is it possible.??

Thanks in Adv

In service definition, set:

        retry_interval                  1
        max_check_attempts              5


In host definition, set:
        check_interval                  1
        retry_interval                  1
        max_check_attempts              5


You can put them to the host/service template for simplify definition.

Hi

Thanks for the reply , will try this out. But is there some centralized
Parameter in nagios.cfg that could solve this issue.

Thanks in Adv

You should take a look at "retry_interval":

Also one more question :

How was nagios managing that retry_interval earlier when this parameter was
not even set ??

Is it because of SMART calculation thats set in nagios.cfg ??? If not please
can i know how that worked ???

Hi There

 

Am trying to install nagios 3.0.6 on a Solaris 10 box and am having
trouble with the 'make all' command

 

It generates the following error :

*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `events.o'

Current working directory /var/tmp/nagios-3.0.6/base

*** Error code 1

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi,I've been running it for some time without problem. We are running some
IP710 and IP650 with up to date software.
Are you sure that the nokia snmp service is running as well as the
checkpoint one?
On the device you should be able to see two processes running : snmpd (port
161) and cpsnmpd (port 260). If the processes are running verify the output
of : snmpwalk -v2c -c SNMPCOMMUNITY FWNAMEORIP .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.2

Did you authorize snmp from the nagios host to the host IP?

seb.

Message-ID: <1859843443.20090519125127@gmail.com>

Hi all,

I try to use check_snmp_int.pl plugin with multiline output. According
to documentation (
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/pluginapi.html ) additional
output is stored to $SERVICEPERFDATA$ and $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macros

How can i "force" nagios to print these lines to web interface, after
$SERVICEOUTPUT$  ?


Thanks

Hi all,

I'm thinking to use some custom variables in services' definition. As I'm using NDOUtils, I wanted to see how those variables where saved in the database and I found two tables : customvariables and customvariablestatus.

I understand what the customvariablestatus' fields are for, but I don't understand what is the field 'config_type' in customvariables. Does someone know which values this field can take and what are their meaning?

Sorry if my question seems dumb but I couldn't find the answer in the NDOUtils database documentation.

Thank you

Marc-Andr?

Yes,
 
You can do it without NRPE too.
 
Install something like NSClient++ (http://www.nsclient.org) on the Vista
host.
 
http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/NSClientListener
 
PROCSTATE is the one you want.
 
I use a command check_nt_process:
 
  $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v PROCSTATE -d SHOWALL -l
$ARG1$
 
I use port 1248 (old nsclient port), NSClient++ defaults to port 12489.
 
Cheers,
 
Phil

Subject: Playing alert sounds in Safari
Message-ID: <A4196967-A6A1-40A3-8200-FC43E45E7ACB@makalumedia.com>

Is this possible at all? When I have an active alert, which should  
play a sound, I get this popup when I visit the tactical overview page:

Safari can't find the Internet plugin.

The page "Nagios" has content of MIME type "application/wav".
Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type,
this content can't be displayed.

However, I DO have such a plugin installed - Quicktime, and it plays  
wav files just nicely, and if I use Safari to get /media/hostdown.wav  
from my nagios server, it plays just nicely.

I got that file with wget and I noticed that the MIME type it was sent  
with was audio/x-wav so I edited the binary of tac.cgi to send audio/x- 
wav rather than application/wav (yes, I know, but it was quicker than  
getting the source, and building it, just to try this out) but  
although that got rid of the warning pop up, it still got me no sound.

Any ideas to make Safari (ver. 4 beta) talk to me?






Kindest regards,



Niall  O Broin

No, it's defined per host and service. You could use templates though  
to 'centralize' it (or assign to your existing default template if you  
have one).

Are you certain that it's not? It's a required parameter under 2.x and  
while I can't test it, I have no reason to believe that's changed with  
3.x. Nagios will refuse to start if you leave it out. Are you using  
templates and is it defined there?

I don't use 3.x yet but I don't believe that you can. Unless the  
plugin output is written as HTML, and none are that I know of, multi- 
line output would be confusing in the web interface.

Davis,

Thank you for taking the time to reply with such detail and precision.? This worked well and and fixed the error. ? 

One thing with CPAN is that for some reason when I am in cpan prompt, whatever I type does not get displayed.

As root, try "perl -MCPAN -e shell" then "install Net::SNMP". You may
want to first do "install Bundle::CPAN", then "install Net::SNMP". Also
open up the test script (assuming its not a compiled binary) and check
for all the "use" lines and make sure they're installed. For example,
from another script I saw:



use strict;

use Net::SNMP;

use Getopt::Long;



So my steps were:

>sudo su -

perl -MCPAN -e shell

install Bundle::CPAN

reload cpan

reload index

install Net::SNMP

install Getopt::Long


For each, I installed prereq's where prompted...



Also, depending on your OS, you may want to update the OS first before
doing the above. For example, with CentOS, an "yum -y update" is good
practice every now and then... keeps you nice and current. But keep in
mind that anything built against a specific package may fail (last time
I did this, Cacti choked as it was built against a specific version of
a library and needed to be recompiled).



Other common perl modules to consider include DBI, DBD::mysql, etc...



Oh, and put the Net::SNMP line that you changed back... unfortunately,
the output of your RPM query is showing the SNMP programs themselves.
The script you're using is looking for the Perl module Net::SNMP.
net-snmp and Net::SNMP are two completely different things, yet often
times codependent.



Hope this helps...

All
   I am seeing that when anyone acknowledges a problem in nagios, it keeps
track of username and notes information.  However if someone execute command
like DISABLE_SVC_CHECK or  DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS or many other commands
then nagios does not keep track of username and who initiated the command.
Is this an intended behavior or is it a bug?  Can someone please comment on
this.  Thanks

Hi All,

I'm running Nagios 3.0.6/CentOS 5.2 for my Nagios server.  Its
monitoring my Windows Servers, all 2003, I have NSClient++ on those
servers and its working fine.  My problem is that I'm trying to
centralize the configs on the NSClient++'s w/ the help of batch files.
I have setup commands to allow me run the scripts w/ the help of
check_nrpe, but they will not run.

Here is the contents of one of my batch files, nscpp_config.bat, to
update the NSClient++ config:
		@echo off
		xcopy
\\10.10.0.50\public\Departments\Infor~1\Scripts\nscpp_copy.bat
C:\Progra~1\NSClient++ /Y
		exit
When I try to run this command from my Nagios Server, I get an "Invalid
Drive Specification Error".  And here is my config line to allow the
command in NSClient++:
		cp_script=nscpp_config.bat
If someone else has done this in past, please let me know how you have
done this.

I don't think that Nagios/nscp is geared to what you want it to do.
Instead, I would suggest that a Scheduled Task might be more appropriate
(or use something like SMS to push out an update on demand/on a
schedule, if you have it in place).

Does the user running the batch file have access to those directories and
shares?  Does it work if you run it from the command line?
You may want to try first mapping the drive with net use:

net use n: \\10.10.0.50\public
xcopy n:\Departments\Infor~1\Scripts\nscpp_copy.bat C:\Progra~1\NSClient++
/Y

With net use, you can also specify an alternate username and password with
which to map the drive.

On most systems, mrtg will run as its own user and nagios the same. Make 
sure that the nagios user has permissions to access the mrtg owned files...

Subject: Nagios: Monitoring WAN link status.
Message-ID: <c98caf810905190913k1105d9e7i68f5755959d5804b@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Experts,

After installing Nagios 3.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.10 (VM senario), I have managed to
configure it to monitor my Windows-based machines and Route-Switch Modules
(RSMs).

I read the documentation which says that Nagios is a system and network
monitoring application. It watches hosts and services, etc. However, I was
curious to know whether it could also be configured to monitor WAN links'
status, latency, flap-detection, etc.

Can anyone throw some light on this part with how to go about if it is
possible?

Thanks,
Jim

Subject: Downtime discrepancy
Message-ID: <4A12E564.8070005@gmail.com>

Looking at my hosts that are scheduled for downtime, I noticed this:

ns2    05-19-2009 10:55:04    adavis    Rebuilding with CentOS

How is it possible to have downtime scheduled from 10:54:43 to 12:54:43 
yet have a duration of 3 hours??? Something appears to be amiss.

In fact, even though it was marked as flexible and with a duration of 3 
hours, 12:54:43 just passed and the system is no longer listed as being 
under downtime, yet it should be as it was scheduled for 3 hours of 
downtime.

Yes, if your network devices support SNMP, they can report via SNMP to
Nagios, and you can monitor anything your device is willing to report via
SNMP.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-routers.html

However, I have a set-up identical to yours, and am currently stalled at
getting the Net-SNMP and SNMP-Utils installed.  My server's missing
something that's preventing SNMP and MRTG from working.

>From the docs:
 
Fixed vs. Flexible Downtime

When you schedule downtime for a host or service through the web
interface you'll be asked if the downtime is fixed or flexible. Here's
an explanation of how "fixed" and "flexible" downtime differs:

"Fixed" downtime starts and stops at the exact start and end times that
you specify when you schedule it. Okay, that was easy enough...

"Flexible" downtime is intended for times when you know that a host or
service is going to be down for X minutes (or hours), but you don't know
exactly when that'll start. When you schedule flexible downtime, Nagios
will start the scheduled downtime sometime between the start and end
times you specified. The downtime will last for as long as the duration
you specified when you scheduled the downtime. This assumes that the
host or service for which you scheduled flexible downtime either goes
down (or becomes unreachable) or goes into a non-OK state sometime
between the start and end times you specified. The time at which a host
or service transitions to a problem state determines the time at which
Nagios actually starts the downtime. The downtime will then last for the
duration you specified, even if the host or service recovers before the
downtime expires. This is done for a very good reason. As we all know,
you can think you've got a problem fixed (and restart a server) ten
times before it actually works right. Smart, eh?

Flexible means nagios expects the host to go down within the "window"
you have specified for the duration you specified.

You are running NSClient++ as a service which is using the SYSTEM 
account.  The SYSTEM account does not have access to network resources. 
  One solution is to create a domain user account and then change the 
NSClient++ service to use the new account.  Also make sure the account 
has access to the batch file.

As someone else mentioned it may make more sense to use a scheduled task 
but it also needs to run as a network account that has access.  You may 
want to look at psexec from Sysinternals.

Hi Dongsheng

I tried as you suggested by putting

Check_interval      1
retry_interval          1
max_check_attempts      3

But this is what i see on the alert history  :


[05-19-2009 13:42:35] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;HARD;3;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

[05-19-2009 13:37:38] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;SOFT;2;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

[05-19-2009 13:32:24] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;SOFT;1;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

Again the time duration between each check is like 5 min . Its increased now
to 5 min from 3 min

I want to make it as 1 min and third attempt state as HARD and send
notification.

You could also use a simple ping check to the remote router. SNMP is 
great to check internals of a device. If your interest is whether 
something is up, simple is best. Also, since the remote router has no 
idea about latency on the WAN link, that is something only ping can tell.

Flap-detection is built into Nagios itself. It's enabled in the default 
configurations, so you usually don't have to do anything about it.

No, please check your "Scheduling Queue", view "Last Check" and "Next Check".

Please distinguish "check history" and "alert history".

Are you sure you want check max 4 times, and alter every 1 minuties ?
The your "check_interval" should be 12s, it's too short!

In 'nagios.cfg', set 'interval_length=1'; In host/service template, set:

check_interval      12
retry_interval          12
max_check_attempts      3

The the time duration between each alert(not check!) is 1 min .

Yes, but the amount of data you can get is pretty limited. In your 
setup, the printer doesn't do any SNMP. The Jetdirect does. It in turn 
needs to figure out whatever information the Printer may make available. 
And given how infrequently parallel is used nowadays, I doubt that HP is 
investing all that much into R&D for it.

Remember - the Centronics interface dates back to even before the IBM PC 
- about a third of a century old by now, when Centronics made 9-pin 
printers for more than $1000. Even just being able to report anything at 
all was a later addition, originally it was outgoing only.

Hi,NSClient has been configured for my windows server, now the problem is, in Nagios Interface, when the specified services are checked, I get the message ?checknt: Could not parse arguments ? These are common for all the service which are being monitored for my Windows Server (hostname:flexsrvr212). I think there is problem in configuring windows.cfg and commands.cfg which are not interlinking appropriately. I have done the preflight check there was no error found. Attached is my .cfg files for refrence. Kindly guide where my modifications are clashing.Thanks and Regards, Sundar

Sorry - I see what you are doing now. 

Try a -q instead of -m, and change it to "Ram" and let us know how that works - You can also snmpwalk the host to see if the "RamDisk" entry (Index entries use the -m) shows up in the output anywhere. (Chances are, it does not, which would explain the "ERROR")

Thanks,
James

Ok, I got it:

Try this:

First, determine what is visible via snmp for storage on windows system:

$ ./check_snmp_storage -H 10.14.1.83 -C public -m zzz -w 80% -c 90% -v
V1 login : public
OID : .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.1 : C:\ Label:  Serial Number e0153914
OID : .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.2 : D:\ Label:  Serial Number e8a58f58
OID : .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.3 : E:\
OID : .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.4 : Virtual Memory
OID : .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3.5 : Physical Memory
Found : 0 match : 0 OID queries
ERROR : Unknown storage zzz

Next, choose your victim:
 
$ ./check_snmp_storage -H 10.14.1.83 -C nagi0s -m "Physical Memory" -w 80% -c 90%
OK : Physical Memory: 8%used(695MB/8190MB)  : < 80 %  | 'Physical Memory'=695MB;6551;7370;0;8189

Hth, regards,
james

Thanks for your replies Tom, Marc and Anthony.

I have found the problem. Because of a misconfiguration issue, the 
Nagios server was also doing active checks on the host...

Thanks for your answers, they have helped me understand better how to 
debug a NSCA config.

Thanks for the posts y'all!  I was able to get it running w/ 2 batch
files. The first batch file was strictly a file copy script that sent
over the config and update script.  The second batch uses psexec to run
the update script on each windows server.  I'm still working out some
kinks, but for the most part it's working.  If anyone is looking for
more information on how to do this, let me know and I would be glad to
help.

You are running NSClient++ as a service which is using the SYSTEM 
account.  The SYSTEM account does not have access to network resources. 
  One solution is to create a domain user account and then change the 
NSClient++ service to use the new account.  Also make sure the account 
has access to the batch file.

As someone else mentioned it may make more sense to use a scheduled task

but it also needs to run as a network account that has access.  You may 
want to look at psexec from Sysinternals.

This is how i wanted to make it look like :

[05-19-2009 13:34:00] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;HARD;3;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

[05-19-2009 13:33:00] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;SOFT;2;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

[05-19-2009 13:32:00] HOST ALERT: app-engbw5;DOWN;SOFT;1;FPING CRITICAL -
(loss=100% )

Then at 13:34:00 send out the notification .  Is this feasible ??

Feasible and straightforward.

check_interval <whatever>
retry_interval 1
max_check_attempts 3

assumes interval_length in nagios.cfg is 60.

Yes and no. Nagios will never bother with the email address,
except for expanding the string you've written there when it's
time to notify someone. If your notification script can take
care of a comma-separated list of email addresses, then all
will be fine.

I believe the default notification commands will if you omit
the comma and just separate the two (or more) email addresses
with spaces. I leave it as an exercise to you to find out if
that is actually true or not. Make sure to report your finds
back to the list, so other can benefit in the future.

Hi,

Problem is the first $ in password1$ of your command-definition (check_nt)

command_line     $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s Password1$ -v
$ARG1$ $ARG2$

I would say, that it should be -s $USER2$ when you store the password in
your resource.cfg or -s $Password1$

Bye

Message-ID: <9c4cd14a0905200826h4d1ddf0ela2bfc6a465a79ccb@mail.gmail.com>

I have been using
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html to set up
templates for hosts in Nagios, the only problem I have is that one of
my DB servers consistently runs high on memory utilization, so it is
almost always in a warning state.  I tried setting another higher
threshold for that one host in but it doesn't take.  Is there a way to
override a threshold set in a hostgroup_name for one particular host,
or am i going to have to redo my hostgroup based template?

Message-ID: <C6A21252-92D0-46B9-BEA5-370BA5F1F6F6@frontierflying.com>

I have nagios running on an openBSD box, and I would like to use  
Growl's network notification options to pop-up alert messages on my  
Mac for certain situations. Does anyone have a script or program that  
can do this already? I've looked around a bit, but all I've found seem  
to assume that nagios is running on the Mac, which is not the case  
here. I've got the Growl dev tools, which come with a python script it  
looks like I could hack to work, but before I spend too much time on  
that I wanted to see if it has already been done. Thanks.

Subject: Monitoring clustered resources with Windows...
Message-ID: <4A143B6F.4080709@gmail.com>

One of our admins is actively migrating us from Server 2003 to Server 
2008 and using the built-in clustering capabilities of '08 to enable 
service-level failover. So far, he's done so with Exchange, print server 
services, and SQL. I'm wondering how to best monitor shares resources on 
Windows hosts from Nagios. At present, we use nsclient++ to watch the 
physical servers. This is good for basic checks of load average, memory, 
local disk consumption, etc. I can even monitor services that are 
running. No, I know I can monitor anything that's accessible from an IP 
and port, but I'm somwhat stumped on other resources...

For example, we have two physical Exchange servers. They're in a cluster 
and the various Exchange services are only active on one node at a time. 
I can watch OWA as its accessible from an IP and port, but the Exchange 
services themselves will stop on one server and start on the other if a 
server fails. Nagios can't dynamically adjust to watch this service on 
the new node. It will only yell that's its down on the failed node.

Clustered file storage is another example. Again, I can watch the local 
CPU, memory, and local C: drive, etc. But let's say its sharing a large 
volume as drive F:. I can watch this fine on the primary node, but if it 
fails over, its no longer accessible from that node as its being shared 
on the new active node.

I'm curious if any Nagios users are using clustered resources on the 
Windows side and how you handle service failover of services that aren't 
necessarily accessible by IP and port...

Hi All,
Is possible fix the current service status to OK? I check by snmp the
counter32 of ports from my switch and some times report 'SNMP
CRITICAL' when in fact behavior is normal.  Thanks Very Much! Marc

Subject: differing notifications
Message-ID: <4A143506.40203@pricegrabber.com>

I haven't been able to find an answer to this conundrum looking at the 
docs, faq, or googling. I'd love to hear any suggestions.


We have two contact groups; group "adminmail" sends an email to our 
mailboxes and "adminphone" sends email to our phones. The idea is when a 
"warning" notification happens, adminmail gets notified, and when a 
"critical" notification happens adminphone gets notified.

As a test I set up two services that check disk. For the first one I set:
notification_options w,r
contact_group         adminmail

For the second service I set:
notification_options  c
contact_group         adminphone

This works, but it's kludgy.  Is there a way to define one contact_group 
for a warning, and a different contact group for critical? We are 
currently running v1.2(yes, old), but will be upgrading eventually. I'd 
like to know if there's a solution I can implement now; if we need to 
upgrade to get this functionality I'd like to know as well.

Thanks,
    Neil

Subject: Unable to open MRTG log file
Message-ID: <303532.47548.qm@web111210.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

Hi folks, 


I've been getting these messages from my nagios page under mrtg: "check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file" in which Im unable to figure it out why?

here's my config file:
# Monitor Port 1 Bandwidth Usage
define service{
        use                     mrtg-service
        host_name               ciscoasa-firewall
        service_description     SDFWPORT1_BAND_USE
        check_command           check_local_mrtgtraf!/var/www/mrtg/192.168.1.253_1.log!AVG!1000000,1000000!5000000,5000000!10
        }

When I launch the command manually, same error. 

Here's my command looks like:
# 'check_local_mrtgtraf' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_local_mrtgtraf
        command_line    $USER1$/check_mrtgtraf -F $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ -e $ARG5$
        }

Please someone advise. 

Thank you! 
DB

1) Install Net::Growl from CPAN: 
http://search.cpan.org/~nmcfarl/Net-Growl-0.99/
2) Allow network notification in Growl on your Mac and set a password.
3) Create a notify script using it based on the provided example.
4) Enjoy! :)

Have you checked ownership of the mrtg log file to ensure your nagios 
user has at least read-only access? As your nagios user, try to cat the 
file and see if you get a permission denied message.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#contact

Just setup two contacts, one for adminmail that gets warnings, the
other for adminphone that gets crits.  Add them to the same
contract_group, then add that contact group to your service check.
This style/syntax hasn't changed really, save for in nagios 3.x you
don't need the contact group if you don't want it.

So, basically you're saying to put both contact_groups (adminmail and 
adminphone) into a third contact_group, then use that contact_group in 
the service?  How would I then make warning notifications go only to 
adminmail, and critical notifications go only to adminphone?

Thanks,
    Neil

Identify and fix or workaround the problem that causes this false  
alarm would by my tactic but if these are an occasional problem, you  
can use the 'Submit passive check result for this service' option when  
viewing the service details in the web interface.

Apologies - that site is really acting strange lately.

I used to use this one, but it requires HP hardware, and since we are
mostly a vmware shop, it's no good to me anymore -

	local disk consumption, etc. I can even monitor services that
are

	For example, we have two physical Exchange servers. They're in a
cluster
	and the various Exchange services are only active on one node at
a time.
	I can watch OWA as its accessible from an IP and port, but the
Exchange
	services themselves will stop on one server and start on the

but if it
	fails over, its no longer accessible from that node as its being

	I'm curious if any Nagios users are using clustered resources on
the

that aren't
	necessarily accessible by IP and port...

Thanks. Unfortunately I doubt our Windows Admin is going to install the 
HP agents on all the systems. I wonder if the MIB's for the cluster 
service in Server 2008 are public and queryable... off to dig around.

Subject: hostgroups and service dependencies?
Message-ID: <E30DC1CCEA713E449C28D314E007D21B031519D8@PEPWMV00041.corp.pep.pvt>


I'm just starting to get into service dependencies.  My problem is that
I don't quite see how I can get around doing it individually for each
and every service and host needed.

An example is if I've got 100 Windows servers all configured to be part
of a hostgroup.  Then I've got a 


		define service {
		        hostgroup_name
prod_windows_servers
		        service_description             NRPE Service
		        check_command                   NRPE Service
		        use                             Production
Windows Service
		}

		define service {
		        hostgroup_name
prod_windows_servers
		        service_description             CPU Load
		        check_command
check_windows_load!90%!90%
		        use                             Production
Windows Service
		}

		define service {
		        hostgroup_name
prod_windows_servers
		        service_description             C: Drive
		        check_command
check_windows_disk!C:!90%!90%
		        use                             Production
Windows Service
		}

where the 100 servers are all part of the 'prod_windows_servers"
hostgroup.  Here I can list the checks nice and compactly and add new
hosts/checks merely by putting them in that hostgroup.

I would like to make service checks on these boxes dependent on the
"NRPE Service" check above.  So if the NRPE service was not responding,
Nagios wouldn't bother sending me alerts about all the other things on
that box it could not reach.

The object definitions seem to say that I can do

		define servicedependency {
		        hostgroup_name
prod_windows_servers
		        service_description             NRPE Service
		        dependent_hostgroup_name
prod_windows_servers
		        dependent_service_description   C: Drive
		        execution_failure_criteria      n
		        notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c
		}

I'm assuming that this is supposed to match up each
'prod_windows_servers' entry with its matching entry rather than making
each server dependent on this servers from *every* other hostgroup
member?

Just to see, I tried this out and when I did a pre-flight check it took
53 seconds (checking the host and service dependencies) when it normally
runs instantly.

I'm not sure this does what I want.  Even so, I don't know that I can
handle the 53 second wait which I imagine would escalate for each
service I defined in this way).  The only other route I can think of is
to create a unique servicedepency definition for each of these.  That's
100 x n dependency definitions, where n is the number of other services
I'm checking on each of these boxes.

Am I looking at this the wrong way?  Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks

Mark

Can anyone out there tell me how to setup service groups? I have tried
and I am having no luck. In particular, I have 3 hosts that have many
monitored services on them and I need to report the availably on them
and instead of every service I rather do it in a service group.
 
Thanks,

Understood.... It would be worth a shot to ask them anyhow though - IMO,
as the "HP hardware guy" here, it's a *lot* easier to troubleshoot
hardware issues with the agents/management pages , even if you don't use
insight manager/SIM , no matter what OS is on the HP servers - but, this
is now off-topic, apologies! :(

Thanks. Unfortunately I doubt our Windows Admin is going to install the
HP agents on all the systems. I wonder if the MIB's for the cluster
service in Server 2008 are public and queryable... off to dig around.

accessible
	from an IP
		and port, but I'm somwhat stumped on other resources...
		
		For example, we have two physical Exchange servers.

		I can watch OWA as its accessible from an IP and port,
but the

this
	service on

		Clustered file storage is another example. Again, I can
watch

sharing
	a large
		volume as drive F:. I can watch this fine on the primary
node,
	but if it
		fails over, its no longer accessible from that node as
its being
	shared
		on the new active node.
		
		I'm curious if any Nagios users are using clustered
resources on
	the
		Windows side and how you handle service failover of
services
	that aren't

I am in need of the correct pattern strings for SAP-CCMS plugins.  I have
tried what I assumed to be the correct patterns but they do not work.

The patterns I am looking for are:

Dialog Response Time

Long Runners

DB Request Time

Oracle Buffer Cache Ratio

LastR3Backup

Last Trans Backup

Thanks for the help!

Except that we're a 100% Sun and Dell shop (mostly Sun, phasing out 
Dell... though I guess I'll be calling "Sun" as "Oracle" soon enough). 
But, hence the reticence to install the HP agents...

Thanks for the link all the same. It offers hope that if I can get into 
the native Server 2008 SNMP items for the cluster resources, then there 
may be a solution.

Subject: [Nagios-users] random nrpe socket timeout

 


hello 
i have troubles in our infrastructure with nrpe giving critical alerts when
the nrpe socket timeout. 
this happens randomly from time to time in several servers. 
i really have no clue what is the cause, the service is up between two
minutes, but the alerts causes sms to be sent for 'falses alarms' as there
is nothing wrong with the servers just the nrpe plugin that for a few
instants cannot contact the server. 
is there a way to troubleshoot this? which side should it be troubleshooted?
server side or client side. 
nagios.log doesn't give many info: just : 
disk_root;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10
seconds. 

Check the NRPE Documentation, specifically the troubleshooting section. It
sounds like the commands you are executing are taking longer than ten
seconds to execute. Try increasing the timeout value for these commands.

 

Example from the NRPE documentation: /usr/local/nagios check_nrpe -H
localhost -c somecommand -t 30

 

-Jason

Which is basically the same thing as hacking the Python script except  
for a) having to start from scratch, and b) having to work in a  
language I have little experience with :-) I was sort of hoping  
someone had already done the above steps and would be willing to  
share :-D Oh well, it won't take more than a couple of hours to whip  
the Python into shape, and has the advantage of being self-contained,  
aside from some standard Python modules (so no installing from CPAN or  
the like). Thanks for the suggestion though :-)

No, in the individual contacts you can define what sort of  
notifications that individual contact receives, using the  
host_notification_options [d,u,r,f,s,n] and  
service_notification_options [w,u,c,r,f,s,n] directives of the  
contact. So what you do is make two contacts (not groups, but  
individual contacts), specifying that adminmail only receives warning  
(not critical) and adminphone only receives critical (not warning).  
Add both contacts to a single contact group, add that contact group to  
the host, and specify that the host send both critical and warning  
notifications. Due to the filters in the contacts, each contact will  
only receive the appropriate types. If you have more people you need  
to contact, just make more contacts for each person, keeping the phone  
contacts and the mail contacts separate.

My understanding is that this is basically just a directory site, so you 
would publish it whichever way you want. If you want to be perfectly 
clear, you would have to ask a lawyer, of course.

I had a somewhat similar problem (all of my servers use the same 30 or 
so services, except one of them doesn't have remote access, so it only 
needs 29). Here is what I did. It sounds like you did about the same:

- create a hostgroup
- create 30 services
- in each service, specify the corresponding hostgroup_name that it 
should go into.
- make all 30 hosts part of that hostgroup

Now to deal with this one server, let's call it problem.server.com for 
service DIFFICULTSERVICE:

In the declaration for DIFFICULTSERVICE, exclude problem.server.com:

hostname !problem.server.com

Declare another service DIFFICULTSERVICE just for problem.server.com 
with the correct parameters.

Ah ha, I've discovered that check_snmp was not installed with the rest of
the Nagios plugins.  Apparently, if net-snmp and net-snmp-utils are not
already installed, the plugins installer skips installing that plugin.

Here's a configure of check_snmp 1.4, freshly downloaded from Nagios
Exchange:

root at dfslit1:~/check_snmp-1.4# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out

checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes
checking for net-snmp-config... /usr/bin/net-snmp-config
checking for init_snmp in -lnetsnmp... no
configure: error: snmp library not found

I looked through the Ubuntu package website, and tried installing any
package I could find that's related to SNMP, but already have them all
installed.

snmp is already the newest version.
libsnmp-base is already the newest version.
libsnmp15 is already the newest version.
snmpd is already the newest version.
libsnmp-perl is already the newest version.

Is there an inherent incompatibility between Ubuntu 8.10 and the check_snmp
plugin?  Do I need to go the all Perl/CPAN route?  I can perform snmpwalks,
but I don't know of any other way to find out what I'm missing.

nagios at dfslit1:~$ snmpwalk -v1 -c public 10.5.1.2 system
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Version
7.0(4)
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.1.669
[...]

Thanks,
-Mike

Hi,

Also you may want to remove the process check for Explorer.exe
since that process is only running when a user space running.

Hi,

Why not implement Passive checks.
instead of reporting to seperate Host configs have them report to a single
host called CLUSTERED
then have the passive checks report only OK states,
and have the freshness check command report for when both are down.

Check the Docs on Violtile and passive and they may be able to assist.
(Maybe in conjuntion with an eventhandler)
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/passivechecks.html
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/volatileservices.html


Thre also used to be a plugin called Check_cluster
this polls the results from other checks into a single check (I think)
http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_cluster

A google search turned up this article on Nagios Community:
http://community.nagios.org/2009/04/25/monitoring-windows-cluster-environments-with-nagios/

Subject: Advanced permissions for the web interface
Message-ID: <4A14C506.4020001@users.sourceforge.net>


On the Nagios-Users list back in November 2006 there was a discussion 
about adding advanced permissions to Nagios for hosts and services. 
Users (including myself) were looking for a way to grant users the 
ability to view hosts, but not submit commands and to allow for more 
complex permissions.  I also wanted a way to limit which hosts a user 
would be notified for while still giving them access to view the status 
in the web interface.  The can_submit_commands only helps with part of 
the problem.

I originally created a patch to add advanced permissions for Nagios 
2.5-2.8 and have been using it for over two years in production.  I 
created a 3.0 version back in November 2006 before 3.0 was released but 
I only recently updated it for 3.0.6.

The available permissions for each contact / contact group are:

Permission 	Description
r 		View in web interface
x 		Submit commands for this host/service in web interface
w 		Not needed yet.  Maybe some of the other programs
		that allow you to modify the configuration files could
		use this permission to allow a user to modify the host /
		service.
n 		Notify if contact has a pager or email defined

Example:

	contact_groups          netops:rwxn, helpdesk:r

See http://www.fragit.net/nagios.html for more details and the patch.

I'm not expecting this to go in to future releases but I hope that 
similar functionality will be added to any new web interfaces.  I wanted 
to share it in case anyone else has similar needs.

Alex

You can specify the license you want, I suggest the GPL license as 
people know and trust it.

You could try using the winnrpe

This will give you all the flexibility of the nrpe , but on a windows machine.

I setup check-ifstatus but I am getting this error:

It's probably a -dev package, which you need to compile, but not to run,
the plugin. Try installing libsnmp-dev

No, I personally prefer using perl to write my own plugins though

I would agree... get all the relevant devel and necessary library 
packages. For some plugins, you can straight into the plugins directory 
and compile that one plugin (once all the pre-reqs are there), then copy 
the binary to your libexec folder. I had to do this with a client with 
mysql. Initially it didn't have mysql, so the test wasn't compiled. I 
installed mysql including the dev pkgs and libs, then dropped into the 
~nagios-plugins/plugins folder and did a "make check_mysql.c", then 
copied the check_mysql binary to my libexec folder and all was fine...

That was it - it needed the libsnmp-dev package to configure.  But it still
wouldn't make (the error message looked like a combo of foreign language and
corrupt text encoding) and I hadn't seen Andrew's e-mail yet, so I just
re-installed the entire plugins package.

This time it compiled with check_snmp, and after restarting Nagios, my SNMP
checks are functioning.  NICE!

Thanks for the tips.  If I need to install an individual check at a later
date, I'll try Andrew's method of making that one check.

Subject: monitor multiple port
Message-ID: <699b436a0905211007l6e9c3f26g52f7a872353c2dea@mail.gmail.com>

Here is my commands.cfg for check_snmp:

define command{
        command_name    check_port
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o
$ARG2$ -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB
}

Here is my services.cfg command:

define service{
        use                     local-service
        host_name               mir-user-2
        service_description     Port 1 status
        check_command           check_port!public!ifOperStatus.1
}

 Now this is for only ONE port , and if it goes down it says Critical which
is working fine.

I would love to monitor multiple ports together i.e lets say port 1 2 3 and
4 and if 4 is down it should be critical . In that case what would be my
commands.cfg and services.cfg

Can some one elaborate on how my commands.cfg and services.cfg should look
like ???


Thanks in adv

Subject: sysUpTime.0: Status showing 'UNKNOWN'
Message-ID: <c98caf810905211143u5e32d20dpbfc2452aac84a514@mail.gmail.com>

Hello *Experts*,

I have installed and configured Nagios 3.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.10 (in a Virtual
Environment), and am using its web interface.

I am monitoring a Windows machine & a Route-Switch Module (RSM). The RSM's
ping status is shown as 'OK', however, the Uptime status is shown as
'UNKNOWN'. The Status Information column says "*SNMP Problem- No data
received from host*".

 *The snmp public community set on the RSM is*:
snmp-server community ********* RO 35

*The directive used on Nagios for it is*:
check_command       check_snmp!-C public -o sysUpTime.0 (where *public* is
replaced by the actual public community as above).

To verify whether the snmp modules are correctly installed, I did a 'locate
snmpget' & 'locate snmpwalk' on my Nagios machine. It returned me the
following.
/usr/bin/snmp
/usr/bin/snmpget-next
/usr/bin/snmpwalk

Is there anything I am missing out on?
Please advise.


Thanks,
Jim

Try manually doing an snmpget or an snmpwalk to retrieve the sysUptime.

Subject: "Disabled" services
Message-ID: <4A15BCDA.7010600@lafayette.edu>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have a number of SNMPTRAP services defined which are, naturally,
passive.  As such, I've disabled active checks, basically to save cpu
cycles.  No need to check actively if it won't actually do anything.

However, these show up as Disabled Services on the tactical screen.
This seems odd to me.  Is there a way to make Nagios see them as not
disabled?  Or is enabling active checks and setting the command to
something like check_dummy the answer?

Thanks,

Message-ID: <6db4a4200905211441t5f0b0662w1676b260cd78b48e@mail.gmail.com>

All,
   I just added a perl Nagios command line script in nagiosexchange.org.
The script uses Nagios-Object cpan module.  However, I made modification to
the Nagios-Object cpan module to work with nagios version 3.   Detail
installation instruction is included in nagiosexchange link.
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F3083.html;d=1
or you can do a search on nagiosexchange with the word "ncom".


The usage for this script is listed below.  Thanks

Usage:

sage: /usr/local/bin/ncom action service at host commnent

where: service the name of the service we are checking

     host     Name of the host we are checking
     commment Comment we want to pass to the action

      check:         Immediately recheck service, host, service at host
(no state update on run)
     reschedule:    Reschedule service, host, service at host (state update on run)
     acknowledge:   Acknowledge current alert for service, host, service at host
     unacknowledge: Undo acknowledge for service, host, service at host
     inhibit:       Silence all alerts for service, host, service at host
     uninhibit:     Undo inhibit for service, host, service at host
     checkhistory:  check history of particular check
     alerthistory:  check history of notificaitons
     commandhistory:check history of commands executed on particular check

Enable active checks, set the check_command as check_dummy but set the  
check_period to be 'none' is what I do.

Are you sure the device you are quering is using SNMP v1 ?
most devices come with SNMP2 or even 3 , check the setting of you snmp query and the snmp setting on 
the device to see what version you need to use to check..

The 53 second delay is natural - as nagios is calculating the dependencies and what it 
calls "circular dependencies " - meaning it check that the definition is correct and the logic you 
defined is fine .

the delay will be there as long as you have the dependencies - as you are adding more complexity to 
the nagios operations and work logic - so it takes more time to prepare and create 
the "understanding " of the logic and requirements.

creating 100 definitions of service dependencies will not reduce the calculation time , and will 
only make you have a more "mess" in the configuration , the way you set it up is correct , and more 
elegant to read and understand by the next guy that will need to take care of the system (if that 
ever happens ).

You assume wrong. This makes it depend on each hostgroup member. In order
to do "same-host" dependencies, you can leave out one of the "hostgroup_name"
or "dependent_hostgroup_name". I can't remember which, so go browse the docs
to find out. Do note that same-host dependencies only work in Nagios 3.

Right. I'll try to apply the depth first search to host and service
dependencies too. It was originally a patch from Jean Gab?s, and it
speeds up parent/child relations for hosts by a *huge* amount, so it's
probably worth adding it to dependencies too.

Even so, I'm guessing you actually added 100 (or more) times the number of
dependencies you expected to add, so it's not surprising this eats a lot
of CPU.

Hi all

I am trying to create a service which will notify one group of users if 
the service state is 'u' and a different group of users if the state is 
'c'

Is this possible without creating duplicate service checks?

CRITICAL: Requested table is empty or does not exist for 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8? with snmp version 2

I'll guess the message that "requested table is empty?or?does not exist for 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8"??means that there is something that needs configuring in snmp (???).? I am very green with snmp.

Are you sure the device you are quering is using SNMP v1 ?
most devices come with SNMP2 or even 3 , check the setting of you snmp query and the snmp setting on 
the device to see what version you need to use to check..

You may have v3 available on the device you are querying, but you need
to specify a lot more information to snmpwalk than you have.

I tried check_ifstatus with -v 2  option and getting same message:

 

[root at localhost etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ifstatus -H
localhost -v 2 -C public -I -u E1 6/0
CRITICAL: Requested table is empty or does not exist for
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8  with snmp version 2

I'll guess the message that "requested table is empty or does not exist
for 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8"  means that there is something that needs
configuring in snmp (???).  I am very green with snmp.

	Are you sure the device you are quering is using SNMP v1 ?
	most devices come with SNMP2 or even 3 , check the setting of
you snmp query and the snmp setting on 
	the device to see what version you need to use to check..

Subject: Using a different notification command after a
	certain downtime
Message-ID: <4A16DB50.4030903@gmx.de>

Hi list!

I am currently integrating Skype into our monitoring to provide SMS
notifications. It's working pretty fine and if you're interested you can
check out my documentation in the Nagios wiki [1].

However, I had one tiny problem with the configuration that I would like
to sort out if possible. The problem is: When the HTTPs are down for
more than 20 minutes I want to be notified by SMS, but I still want to
use the regular mail notifications (currently set to occur after I
believe 3 Minutes). My solution to this was to duplicate the service
definitions for HTTP to provide different check intervals / max check
attempts (coming out at 10 minutes and 20 minutes respectively) and
contact groups / contacts (the contacts in the first group use mail
notifications, the contacts in the second group use SMS notifications,
but are essentially the same users as in the first group, just
duplicated). Have a look at the wiki page if this description is unclear.

So, in essence my question is if there is any way to tell Nagios to
"switch" to a different notification command after a certain downtime or
any other way to avoid this duplication.

Thanks and best regards,
Georg

Hi all, 
    I've been having a horrible time getting the sidebar to display
correctly.  Can anyone point me to a file or directory or something that
needs to be tweeked?
    I've got it running on RHEL4.  Everything functions fine, it's just that
the sidebar displays wrong.  Here's a screenshot.
 
Thanks!

It looks like it actually is displaying correctly but ignoring the 
styles for some reason.

Do the logs show any 404's when looking for main.css ?

Hi All,

Are there any app to integrate Cacti in Nagios? I've red about Centreon, can
it be used instead of Cacti?


Cheers

Hi All,

Yesterday, I was unable to get the snmp-based Uptime data of a remote RSM in
the Nagios Web Interface.

Today, I have setup an L3 switch with VLAN and its IP address, and global
SNMP settings (public community only).

SNMP settings are as follows:
snmp-server community public ro
access-list 60 permit any
snmp-server host IP public
snmp-server enable traps
snmp-server enable traps snmp
snmp-server enable traps syslog

   - This switch is in the same subnet as the Nagios machine.
   - The access-list is set with permit 'any'.

 Still, I am unable to get the sysUpTime information in nagios web
interface. However, on doing an snmpwalk as under succeeds.

snmpwalk -v1 -c<community> <address> sysUptime
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance
= Timeticks: (496887) 1:22:48.87

So, I feel there is something I have missed out on?

Any idea what that might be?


Thanks,
Jim

To: frisvolj at lafayette.edu, Sean Carolan <scarolan at gmail.com>




I installed SNMP service on a Windows machine and set the NAGIOS
configuration files to monitor it for 'sysUptime'. It returns me a
successful reply on doing an *snmpwalk*.

 snmpwalk -v1 -c<community> <address> sysUptime
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (10375118) 1 day,
4:49:11.18

However, the Nagios web interface shows its status as UNKNOWN. The 'Status
Information' against it says this:
Usage:check_snmp -H <ip_address> -o <OID> [-w warn_range] [-c crit_range]

But, this fails.

At this point, we can say that Nagios is doing its job through SNMP.
So, as you pointed out, may be there are ACLs applied on the RSM, which I
need to check out.


Thanks,
Jim

Subject: Using both NTLM and htpasswd file authentication for
	NAGIOS web interface
Message-ID: <99487797D76C7841AEEDE4A1DCA86C700584814E@VNL-LA01EX04S.vmobile-nigeria.com>

Hi All,

I would like to use both NTLM authentication and htpasswd authentication
to grant access to the NAGIOS web interface. If possible, authenticate
against Windows AD first, and if not successful, authenticate against
the apache htpasswd file (possibly use the htpasswd file like a
fall-back/default authentication mechanism).

 

My /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf file's content is listed below.  I
suspect I need to incorporate "AuthType Basic" in there somehow, but I
have tried various option (specifying the htppasswd file too, but I
usually end up with the authentication not functioning at all)

 

The first access dialog box has the text "Enter username and password
for http://mynagios" and if I enter a valid Windows AD credential, I get
logged in. If instead, I select cancel on this dialog box, I get a
second access dialog box with the text "A username and password are
being requested by http://znlnagios. The site says: "NAGIOS". If I
supply a valid Windows AD credential, I get logged in also.

 

This also brings me to a related issue, I cannot use the "Downtime"
module - and any other module by which I can submit a command. I get the
message that I am not authorized to submit the command to Nagios. Yet, I
have added the user (MYDOMAIN\username and also username) to the
relevant sections of the cgi.cgi file.

Thanks.

Hi Tunde,

I have never tried this before but I will suggest you try your auth systems
one at a time to know they are working before implementing them.

Nagios uses apache http authentication by default so you should not have any
issues with this. Or maybe I am missing something, please correct if I am.

Never tried NTLM authentication with nagios so I can't help in that area but
you can look at this link

http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/11683

I am sure there are pam or kerberos modules that can talk to a dbase like
ldap or AD.

Regards,
Alex

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Each authentication method works OK alone, but
I need to allow regular Windows AD users "read-only" access to the
Nagios web interface while allowing admin users (from the htpasswd)
access to the same interface. Actually, I wouldn't need to do this if I
could get Nagios to allow designated Windows AD users submit commands
via the web interface.

Thanks.

against Windows AD first, and if not successful, authenticate against
the apache htpasswd file (possibly use the htpasswd file like a
fall-back/default authentication mechanism).

 

My /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf file's content is listed below.  I
suspect I need to incorporate "AuthType Basic" in there somehow, but I
have tried various option (specifying the htppasswd file too, but I
usually end up with the authentication not functioning at all)

 

The first access dialog box has the text "Enter username and password

logged in. If instead, I select cancel on this dialog box, I get a
second access dialog box with the text "A username and password are
being requested by http://znlnagios. The site says: "NAGIOS". If I
supply a valid Windows AD credential, I get logged in also.

 

This also brings me to a related issue, I cannot use the "Downtime"
module - and any other module by which I can submit a command. I get the
message that I am not authorized to submit the command to Nagios. Yet, I
have added the user (MYDOMAIN\username and also username) to the
relevant sections of the cgi.cgi file.

I don't mind the users authenticating from one source, but the submit
commands don't appear to work when authenticating against Windows AD
(see my mail below). The reason I am using the NTLM auth module is to
get "single sign-on" so that users are not prompted for their
username/passwords once they are already logged into  the Windows domain
(which works).

If I go with the apache password text file, then I will have another
credential database to maintain (user account maintenance) and it means
my users will have to learn another set of passwords. I also don't want
to go the way of setting up a full SAMBA installation just to proxy the
authentication to the domain controller.

Thanks.

Subject: Using both NTLM and htpasswd file authentication
 for NAGIOS web interface

This is really more of an Apache question than a Nagios question. You 
can set up Apache to use two separate authentication sources. Basically, 
you set it up to authenticate using htaccess, and if that fails, it 
"falls through" to AD authentication - or vice versa. How to configure 
this fall-through should be documented with the Apache modules you are 
using for authentication. Most, if not all, modules support it in some 
form or other.

Another option, if your admins are also AD users, might be to have 
everybody, including admins, log on using Windows AD, and distinguishing 
permissions within Nagios.

This has nothing to do with nagios-devel. Nagios does not know or care  
about any authentication mechanisms used, only that REMOTE_USER is set.

Nagios doesn't know or care if it's AD or htaccess, as long as your  
authentication modules sets the REMOTE_USER environment variable. Who  
does nagios show you 'Logged in as'? If it's blank, your auth  
mechanism isn't populating the variable. If there's a username shown,  
does that name exactly match an authorized contact for that host or  
service or specifically granted permissions to submit commands in  
cgi.cfg? Do you have 'can_submit_commands 1' in the contact definitions?

Show us your service and command definitions.  I suspect the call to
the command is passing values in incorrectly.

Have you tried using the OID instead of the string name?

You could try increasing debugging:

I guess that depends on what you mean by "integrate".  What are you

Instead of duplicating the service, you can use service escalations,
as defined in the docs [2].  This will esentially do the same thing
you have with the duplicated commands, however you'll still need new
contacts to send the notifications to the SMS rather than the regular
emails.

The other way to handle it would be a custom notification script which
you use for notifications, and pass in the arguments for the SMS
number, the email address, the usual macros, and the notification
count [3].  Then you can throw some logic in the script that does
something like this:

if ($HOSTNOTIFICATIONNUMBER > 5) {
  send_sms_message();
}
send_email_message();

Subject: check_by_ssh help
Message-ID: <d29bea5e0905242255h357d3489rad794ed889a9dcd1@mail.gmail.com>

I'm trying to set up check_by_ssh to run a php script on a remote machine
that acts as a Nagios plugin.  The script runs a few ls commands to figure
out the number of directories in a subdirectories, then gives output and
return codes accordingly (if it's past a certain threshold, I wantit to
error).  I've setup an SSH key so that I can ssh into the machine to run the
ls command.

host1 has the nagios install, so it's where I run check_by_ssh from.  host2
is where the php script is installed.

Here's the command_line definition in the command definition
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H host2 -l user -C "$ARG1$"'

Here's the check_command in the service definition
check_by_ssh_host2!/usr/local/bin/php /root/scripts/php_script.php

I changed the php script to just do

echo "DIRS CRITICAL\n";
return 2;

But all I get is "(null)" in the email sent from nagios, which implies to me
that it's not even running the script.  When I run the libexec/check_by_ssh
line from the command line, it correctly works.  How can I debug why it
isn't working within the Nagios framework?

As a gut check, how do I check what $USER the script is running as?  I'm
assuming "nagios" currently, which is how I've set up the SSH keys.

Thanks for any help!

I missed the part about Python, sorry. :D

However I wish to share with you and the rest of us this Perl script I 
wrote to notify Growl.

It is based on the example provided by Net::Growl. Obviously, Net::Growl 
is required. A small documentation is included too.

I hope it's bug free and will be useful to some of you. :)

Message-ID: <4A1AAA15.9020109@novasyshealth.com>

I am getting the "Error: Could not read object configuration data" when 
I view any of the CGI pages in my Nagios installation.

This started after I moved my entire OS (Gentoo Linux) installation to a 
new drive. The nagios daemon is running, there are no errors in the 
config files, all of the nagios files have the correct permissions, and 
there is nothing in the log file saying what might be wrong.

It appears the CGI scripts are looking for something that does not 
exist. I have searched all over looking for a solution and have not 
found anything. Does anybody have any ideas on what might be wrong?

I think I have had this problem before and at that time it was a rogue
nagios process. But I have shut down nagios, inspected the process
list, ensured that no other nagios processes were still running, and restarted. And
the problem recurs. The plugin is definitely there and usually the
check passes with no problem. But sometimes it fails with this 127
code. I have run the test manually from the command line many times
and it never has a problem. Any idea what can cause this?

Make sure the CGI scripts can read the following files:
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
* /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
* /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache
* /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat

Especially check for ownerships and permissions.

Also make sure the path to those files are correct in nagios.cfg:
* object_cache_file
* status_file

Generally, checks will run as the 'nagios' user (nagios_user in nagios.cfg).  If the check needs to write to some temporary files, or is in a place where that user cannot read from, it may just be a 'Permission Denied' issue.

When you run it from the command line, do you run it as the 'nagios' user?

What do you want to monitor specifically?  Usually there isn't a
"howto" specifically for a plugin as general usage is well documented
by using the --help or reading the README files included.

I'm assuming you do mean Microsoft SQL, and not MySQL?

Check with the location of the plugin. Resource.cfg and the command definitions are where you need to see.

What plugin is this and what is it's command definition? If you're  
absolutely certain that the plugin exists in the path specified and is  
accessible by the nagios user, it's likely that some part of it  
(library, file path, external program, etc) isn't present, isn't in  
the minimum path provided to the plugin or isn't accessible by the  
nagios user. If this is a script, all internally referenced files  
should use fully qualified paths.

The majority of the time the plugin runs correctly and returns a
correct result so I am sure the plugin is in the correct place. I
checked it just now and it is working. I just copied this from the
nagio service status page:

wordpress OK	05-25-2009 23:27:51	 0d 0h 9m 17s	1/3	GET /?stories HTTP/1.0 

But we can see that 9m 17s ago it failed. Nothing has been done to the
system in the last 10 minutes. If the plugin were not there or were
somehow incorrectly defined or configured I think it would not work at all.

The plugin in question is check_http. The command is defined like so:

define command{
    command_name    check_boycottnovell_wordpress
    command_line    $USER1$/check_http -v -v -v -I 216.105.40.114 -H boycottnovell.com -u /?stories -s "Exploring the reality behind exclusionary deals with Microsoft and their subtle" -w 3 -c 4
}

resource.cfg contains:

# Sets $USER1$ to be the path to the plugins
$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec

and check_http is there:

[root at mail objects]# ls -la /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 471814 Apr 15 12:05 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http

You could may be work it out by transforming your "exclude" into a "use" and create "empty" days for your holidays timeperiods, i.e. days starting and finishing at the same hour (25 december 00:00 to 00:00 for example).

Here is an example with your Sweden timeperiods. This should work.

Thank you Marc-Andr?, 

it?s what I wanted to do but I thought that maybe someone could find the way to make it work as it?s more ... professional I guess. Is it a known bug or a solved issue whose solution is known ?

Are you sure there is a database called ndoutils? If not, you'll have to create it ("create database ndoutils" or something similar).

I don't see any errors in the nagios.log file or dmesg.  Anywhere else I
should look?
 
If it is ignoring the styles, should i try to replace the file?

It looks like it actually is displaying correctly but ignoring the

I changed it to perfdata , but still it is reporting perfdata not recognized:

I modified it to be like this 

# Service type: ntcount
#   check command: check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 20 -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
#   output:Paging file usage is 53.07 %
#   perfdata:'Paging file usage is %.2f %%=2.074550%;20.000000;90.000000;
/perfdata: Paging file usage is %.2f %%=([.0-9]+)%;([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+)/
#/output: Paging file usage is (\d+)/
 and push @s, [ page,
        [ used , GAUGE, $1 ] ];

But still no luck.

Subject: Time period Oddity
Message-ID: <543AF111-E5A2-4D28-A29C-CCA04A8E8C2E@exit2shell.com>

I have run into an issue regarding time periods and I am completely  
stumped.

I have created a time period called market-hours that goes from 9:30am  
to 4pm. In addition, I created a time period called market-holidays  
that contain a list of days that the stock market is closed. I  
excluded the
market-holidays timeperiod from the market-hours time period.

I have a series of checks that I want executed only during when the  
stock market is open. I added a new check into nagios, and its being  
scheduled for tomorrow at 9:30am. I took out the exclude portion
of the market-hours time period and then the new check gets scheduled  
to be checked without 5 minutes of the current time.

This is nagios 3.0.6
A copy of the relevant sections of the config can be found at: http://pastebin.com/me1941f5

Has anyone seen this issue before?

Also, can someone explain that the difference is between "name" and  
"timeperiod_name"? The documentation and example config seem to both  
make reference to the "name" directive for timeperiod
but it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.

Thanks

Yes, you should take a look in you webservers log files. I assume you  
use apache, so look under /var/log/apache2/error.log if you havent  
changed your apache logging setup.

Do you mean replacing the sidebar html file or the css includes ?

I figured it out. I have a symbolic link from my log directory to 
another partition. The permissions are correct but for whatever reason 
Nagios' CGI portion does not like the symlink. Deleting the symlink and 
recreating it makes the CGI scripts work again. Go figure.

The permanent fix here is to change the paths in the config files.

Subject: Custom report showing weekly Average/Max values for
	CPU/RAM/SWAP/Availability
Message-ID: <99487797D76C7841AEEDE4A1DCA86C7005848983@VNL-LA01EX04S.vmobile-nigeria.com>

Hi All,

I am currently monitoring several parameters on my clients (CPU, RAM,
Disk, availability, SWAP, etc)

I am also collecting performance data from the plug-ins which is being
used by PNP4nagios to create graphs.

 

I have a request from "management" for a single report (weekly on Monday
mornings at 9am) which shows the average and maximum values of each of
these parameters (at least CPU, RAM, SWAP) and Availability using a
single row per server. The duration for the report is the previous one
week (Monday 00:00 to Sunday 11:59PM)

 

I think it should be possible if one knows the right tables to query and
possibly how to string the right query together, but with very little
idea of the tables, their relationships (not to mention that I am not a
DBA) it's a very tall order for me.

 

Does anyone have a query that does a similar thing or even some script
or application?

 

Thanks.

I don't use PNP but I expect this will be work for you unless it has  
built-in reporting for this (I don't believe it does). I would  
encourage you to learn more about how RRDTool works by reading the  
Documentation and Tutorials at http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/index.en.html 
. That will give you a good basis for the concepts you will need to do  
do this. To obtain the textual values for these parameters, you'll  
need to use the command-line rrdtool program to fetch the values from  
the rrd files directly. rrdtool can fetch the AVERAGE value at each  
stored point during the week and you'll need to add those up and  
divide by the number of values to determine the single average value  
(man rrdfetch). You could also pick the MAX value from that output or  
maybe PNP also includes a MAX rra you can fetch.

Nagios Email Reporter might be the ticket here.

There are no databases or tables to query unless you're using NDOUtils  
and even then, getting this information wouldn't be trivial, IMHO.

Message-ID: <46EEEA5FAED9CA479556002BA9C27FD705D3747D@iw50.iwbnet.ch>

Hi

 

So, I'm back again...

Now I've configured the service for check the processes with
check_total_procs without parameters and it's running: 

 

define service{

  service_description   Total_Processes

  check_command         check_nrpe!check_total_procs

...

}

 

Could anyone tell me which are the default parameters that use the
command check_total_procs ?

 

 

Regards,

jm

Welcome back then ,

By default that check is an execution of check_procs with only the warning and critical thresholds , 
so it counts all processes running on your machine , 

The thresholds are configured in the nrpe.cfg on the remote machine .

To find out more run the check_procs with --help  .

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I will look into the RRDTool command line
option.
Yes, I am using NDOUTILS. I have actually examined a few of the tables
and it looks like the base values that can be manipulated are in there
(somewhere :-).
I have looked at the NAGIOS email reporter and it's not what I want. In
fact, I have implemented the same thing it does myself - i.e., query the
standard NAGIOS cgis. The issue with this output is that what you get
from the CGIs are not the performance data values, but the percentage of
the time a particular measurement is over the warning/critical
threshold. 
By the way, are there comprehensive entity-relationship type diagrams
for the tables making up the NDOUTILS tables anywhere?

Thanks.

I don't use PNP but I expect this will be work for you unless it has  
built-in reporting for this (I don't believe it does). I would  
encourage you to learn more about how RRDTool works by reading the  
Documentation and Tutorials at
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/index.en.html 
. That will give you a good basis for the concepts you will need to do  
do this. To obtain the textual values for these parameters, you'll  
need to use the command-line rrdtool program to fetch the values from  
the rrd files directly. rrdtool can fetch the AVERAGE value at each  
stored point during the week and you'll need to add those up and  
divide by the number of values to determine the single average value  
(man rrdfetch). You could also pick the MAX value from that output or  
maybe PNP also includes a MAX rra you can fetch.

Nagios Email Reporter might be the ticket here.

There are no databases or tables to query unless you're using NDOUtils  
and even then, getting this information wouldn't be trivial, IMHO.

Message-ID: <4A1D1B7D.5010904@usit.uio.no>


Hi list.

We are running version 3. At the moment we are putting together
a simple interface for the management to view central data for a
smaller number of webservices. For this we want to use some data
from Nagios and graphs from Munin.

Is it possible to extract the following data from a running Nagios
using the command line? Maybe from the CGIs directly:

1) Uptime percentage for a given service for a given time period, taking
    scheduled downtime into account.
2) Is the service in a state of scheduled downtime at the moment,
    or not?

This can probably be done with lynx/wget/curl and awk, but I'd rather
depend on as little as possible.

Running avail.cgi gives

?Error: Could not read object configuration data!?

(embedded in HTML, as I would expect)

List,

I have an odd occurrence that I cant seem to work out.

I have a host with various services defined that belongs to a hostgroup and such. The other day, the host had some IP issues
that cause nagios to report that the services were down.  After the host came back up, there was one service (check_dig) that
still reported as being down. All other services were fine (check_ssh, check_users, check_load, check_ping, check_procs).

The only workaround that allowed the check_dig to return to normal was to change the  'host_name' and 'alias' in the host
definition.

	host_name               host-mgmt
        alias                   host.dom.tld

It seemed that there was a cached or stale entry stored somewhere....Any ideas as to why this would be?



regards,


_Terry

Does the host get its IP from DHCP?
If yes, I'd assume the check_dig-based service check tried to verify
that the host itself had a certain IP but it got a different one
when you brought it back up, although why you'd want to resolve the
name of a host with dynamic ip-assignment is beyond me.

Lei,

Thanks.  Here is the output:

Wondering if you got a link to a good net-snmp tutorial.

Subject: Removing NRPE Daemon
Message-ID: <c4ae53ee0905270647w6e6486b8u9adc1ec48586af22@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I was wondering how to remove the NRPE daemon completely from my
Ubuntu machine? It was compiled without SSL support, and is an older
version, so I'd like to stick 2.12 on w/ SSL.

I tried just make'ing and install'ing 2.12, but NRPE 2.8.1 is still
running. Do I have to kill it somehow before installing the new
version?

Cheers,
Chris

When you did the make install - did you also make sure that the  proper init script was copied and 
the new binaries were copied over the old one ?

What i think you have is two installs of nrpe located in different locations and the init script is 
calling the old one .

check the paths and locations and see what is called when you start the nrpe daemon .

Hello,
Just a simple question:

I use nagios ver. 3.0.6 on a debian system 5.0.1

I have modified "timeperiods.cfg" like this:


# The complement of workhours
define timeperiod{
        name            ferie
        timeperiod_name ferie
        alias           liste des jours feries
        sunday          00:00-24:00             ; Tous les dimanches
#        wednesday       14:50-15:00,15:10-15:20
        2009-05-27      15:25-15:40,15:50-16:10
        january 1       00:00-24:00             ; Tous les jours feries
        may 1           00:00-24:00
        may 8           00:00-24:00
        july 14         00:00-24:00
        august 15       00:00-24:00
        november 1      00:00-24:00
        november 11     00:00-24:00
        december 25     00:00-24:00
        monday 2 september      00:00-24:00     ; Fete d'Issoire
        }

# The complement of workhours
define timeperiod{
        name            other
        timeperiod_name other
        alias           liste des feries flottants
        2009-06-01      00:00-24:00             ; Pentecote
        2010-04-05      00:00-24:00             ; Paques
        2010-05-13      00:00-24:00             ; Ascension
        2010-05-24      00:00-24:00             ; Pentecote
        2011-04-25      00:00-24:00             ; Paques
        2011-06-02      00:00-24:00             ; Ascension
        2011-06-13      00:00-24:00             ; Pentecote
        }

define timeperiod{
        name            Guard-oncall
        timeperiod_name Guard-oncall
        alias           Surveillance Poste Garde
        use             ferie,other
        }

I reload the config and all is ok but if i verify the time periods on the web page: it's wrong!

(Embedded image moved to file: pic05059.jpg)




All the date are wrong -> month - 2. Example: Easter 2010 is 2010-04-05 but it appears on the web page 2010-02-05

Any idea?!...

Best regards.

And sorry for my bad english.

Subject: Error While Using check_ifstatus
Message-ID: <204797.80563.qm@web59203.mail.re1.yahoo.com>


Here is resolution:

Updated /etc/snmpd.conf file to contain the following line:

rocommunity public

then restarted snmpd  and here is the new output:

[root at localhost snmp]# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.1 = INTEGER: up(1)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.2 = INTEGER: up(1)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.3 = INTEGER: down(2)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.4 = INTEGER: up(1)
[root at localhost snmp]#

The nagios check_ifstatus works ok now.

Thanks everyone.

Cheers,

Martin

try /etc/init.d/ directory  - which is the usual place for init scripts

How do you start the nrpe daemon ?

Step 1: copy the config files from the 2.6 server to the 3.1.0 server
step 2: Make sure it works, and fix any errors that nagios -v reports

It's that easy :)

Subject: Error while accessing the web Interface
Message-ID: <9cfff3f00905271505p21be6c86le84a83802f50358@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,


I have installed nagios on solaris 10. By default the local host is
monitored and everything works fine. But when I try to access the Trends,
statusmap,alert histogram from the web interface I am having the below
error. I checked all the permissions and every thing looks fine.


Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, you at yourhost.com and inform them of
the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

And from the error log I find the below errors

If you're using a package system, you're missing a library to be
installed.  A quick google for libfreetype.so.6 hints that you might
need SUNWfreetype2.

I am facing same problem but in my case i have installed nagios on RHEL5 
and I do know that I require gd libraries. 
As nagios is already installed do we need to recompile everything again ? 
like ./configure and some prefix ? 
\
Thanks,
Nilesh

Hi,

I'm trying to get a passive-checked is_volatile service working.

Currently, it accepts the passive result, changes to 'WARNING', but that's the end of it.

It doesn't return back to an OK state.

Has anybody else seen this sort of behaviour before, or am I just missing something with the service configuration?

	RedHat Enterprise 5
	Nagios v3.1.0 (built as RPM, but no source patches)

Any other details needed?

Subject: NRPE on OpenSolaris
Message-ID: <1243491623.32334.4.camel@bofh.dtnet.de>

Hi

I'm not that familar with OpenSolaris but we have 2 test machines
running on Opensolaris 2008.11

Is there a comfortable way to run nrpe daemon on Opensolaris to monitor
these?

And are there plugins to monitor zfs mirrors?

Regards
Sebastian Ries

I have not dealt with Solaris for a while and did not use openSolaris at all but the NRPE can be 
installed from source , same as on any *nix , but of course you'll have to find the proper software 
dependencies .



as for the zfs  , try this page

is_volatile doesn't reset the state back to OK. It just controls  
whether notifications should be processed for every non-OK result  
received. If you want to reset it to OK you can submit a passive check  
through the GUI or as part of your notification script, by enabling  
active checks with check_period none and forcing an active check using  
your check_dummy through the GUI or enabling active checks and have  
check_dummy regularly return an OK state. There may be other  
solutions...

Yes, if you installed the gd/gd-devel libraries and dependencies after  
compiling nagios or if they were not found. './configure --help' will  
show you the flags you need to pass (--with-gd-<something>...)

Turns out the problem was that the old NRPE daemon process hadn't been
killed before trying to install to the new one. Killing it and
reinstalling solved the problem.

Subject: How to make check_ntp NOT report its offset
 performance data using scientific notation?
Message-ID: <995380CA30455549A6B8C57CE5A47AE512795F7FEB@TDCHEXBE01.int.tdch.dk>

We were wondering, is there any possible way we can avoid having check_nrpe report its offset performance data in scientific notation?

We would like to graph the offset under all circumstances, but sometimes it is unfortunately reported as:

offset=2.577755367e-05

And this gives us some trouble, as we would of course like to avoid having this graphed as 2.577 seconds (we are currently using NagiosGrapher for graphing).

If NagiosGrapher can be tweaked to accept the scientific notation reported, that would be another useful strategy - please enlighten us if you know how to achieve this .. :-)

---

Just for curiosity, what we currently do when graphing is accepting only the checks that do not use scientific notation:

2009-05-28 15:32:54 PIPE: fqdn     check_ntp       offset=2.577755367e-05  offset=2.577755367e-05
2009-05-28 15:32:54 REGEX: 1 blocks for 'check_ntp' found.

Hi everyone,

I have successfully installed configure NRPE on Solaris 10 but when I run,
 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost 
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

I have compiled with,
./configure --with-ssl-lib=/usr/sfw/lib --with-ssl-inc=/usr/sfw/include 
--with-ssl=/usr/sfw

I can also see following error on console as well as in /var/adm/messages 
logs,
May 28 19:08:26 solaris10.remotehost.com inetd[24233]: [ID 702911 
daemon.error] Failed to set credentials for the inetd_start method of 
instance svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default (chdir: No such file or directory)
May 28 19:15:27 solaris10.remotehost.com inetd[24241]: [ID 702911 
daemon.error] Failed to set credentials for the inetd_start method of 
instance svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default (chdir: No such file or directory)

I have already tried few solutions after googling but no use.

Please help me to resolve this problem.

Thanks,

Hello 

Can you post your  a section of your nagiosgraph.log that shows that data retrieved for the ntp 
check and the related section from the map file ?

Those two things will help a lot .

Subject: Can't do Serial Checks with Nagios 3.0.6
Message-ID: <49650.41797.qm@web53907.mail.re2.yahoo.com>


hello Ethan,
Really I want to appreciate your work on Nagios it is really a wonderful solution.
I have a challenge with monitoring with Nagios 3.0.6.
My network diagram is somehow complex and I want Nagios to monitoring it accurately for me.

All my remote sites are connected to a Hub while they take Internet access from the head office that is remote. I am at the monitoring office which is different from both the head office and the remotes sites.

Since they get their internet access from the headoffice, I want nagios to monitoring it in such a way that once the head office goes down, all remote regardless of the fact that they are not connected to he headoffice directly. How do I do this.

I have done a parent/child relationship btw the headoffice and the remotes but the remote still remain up when the headoffice goes down. I have done host dependencies but it is still thesame thing.
please help.
I am using sles10 SP2 with nagios 3.0.6 with nagiosql, NdoUtils and Nagvis1.4.

Expecting your reply cos it is really challenging.

thanks

wont render correctly when I install it, the sidebar is just text with white
backgroud and there is no top bar either. Anybody come across this?

In check_ntp.c, change (around line 820) and recompile --

         } else {
                 asprintf(&result_line, "%s %s %.10g secs",  
result_line, _("Offset"), offset);

to
         } else {
                 asprintf(&result_line, "%s %s %.10f secs",  
result_line, _("Offset"), offset);


YMMV.

Message-ID: <426A2F6993D461409ED261A2089EB55D036D06BB@dhrseasvxb05.messaging.danaherad.com>

We are currently running into the issue with Nagios that when a host
goes down we are getting alerted about all the services on that same
host being down as well.  Is there a easy way to fix this so that if the
host is down we don't get the notifications about all the services on
that host?  The only thing I know to do is setup all the services on
each host to be dependent on the host itself so that if it goes down we
won't get alerted, this will just be a lot of work as I will have to
update each cfg file for each of our hosts and there are about 200 of
them.
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks

you could try an all encompassing dependency :

 define servicedependency{
        host_name                  *
        service_description             PING
        dependent_service_description  	*,!PING
        execution_failure_criteria      c,p,u
        notification_failure_criteria   c,u,p
        }

This will make every host (*) have all it's services dependent on the PING service .

It might not do the trick you want , but it's a place to start.

I'd suggest reading these places also :

  Hi everyone, 

  I have successfully installed configure NRPE on Solaris 10 but when I run, 
   /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost 
  CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake. 

  I have compiled with, 
  ./configure --with-ssl-lib=/usr/sfw/lib --with-ssl-inc=/usr/sfw/include --with-ssl=/usr/sfw 

  I can also see following error on console as well as in /var/adm/messages logs, 
  May 28 19:08:26 solaris10.remotehost.com inetd[24233]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Failed to set credentials for the inetd_start method of instance svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default (chdir: No such file or directory)

  I have already tried few solutions after googling but no use. 

  Please help me to resolve this problem.

I'd suggest adding /usr/sfw/lib to the library path with 'crle' :

    # crle -u -l /usr/sfw/lib

    If you're using a package system, you're missing a library to be
    installed.  A quick google for libfreetype.so.6 hints that you might
    need SUNWfreetype2.

How are folks checking site functionality with sites that use auth

I didn't find any plugins that support populating forms and posting.

Thanks Eric,

It's working fine after adding  crle -u -l /usr/sfw/lib.

I would appreciate if you can advise me in regards to the below error.

When I try to access trends,statusmap or alert histogram from the web
interface I am facing the below error.
Whoops!

*Error: Could not read object configuration data!*

Here are some things you should check in order to resolve this error:


   1. Verify configuration options using the *-v* command-line option to
   check for errors.
   2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status
   data errors.
   3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the
   same object data storage options (i.e. default text file or template-based
   file).

Make sure you read the documentation on installing, configuring and running
Nagios thoroughly before continuing. If all else fails, try sending a
message to one of the mailing lists. More information can be found at
http://www.nagios.org.


Thanks
Jai.

I use a perl script and WWW:Mechanize. Here's a snippet of a check which
works on a site that stores you username as a cookie, having entered it
on a form. This check will keep that cookie, and only log in (the login
process can be very slow, but I want to know how quickly the rest of the
site is) if the cookie gets invalidated. 

I have a similar check that always logs in, without using a cookie.
Cookies are stored in /tmp/pluginname.hostname.cookies.dat

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );
my $jar = $0;
$jar =~ s/.*\///g;
$jar .= ".$HOST.cookies.dat";
$mech->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "/tmp/$jar", autosave =>
1));
foreach my $WIRE (split(/,/,$WIRES)) {
	my $url = "http://$HOST/wbmain/HHwires.aspx?Wire=$WIRE&view=2";
	$mech->get($url);
	# If we need to log in, do so
	if ($mech->uri() =~ /loginp.aspx/) {

Great minds think alike.... :)

This seems like a suitable time to mention my new plugin:

Nagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize(http://search.cpan.org/dist/Nagios-Plugin-WWW-Mechanize/ 
)

I'll be doing a workshop on this in the conference in Sweden. Bring  
you web site with your credentials and we'll get a plugin written for  
you in minutes! (Internet connection permitting)

Hi everyone, 

I have successfully installed configure NRPE on Solaris 10 but when I run, 

 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost

I have compiled with,

Subject: How to send notification to non-admin group ?
Message-ID: <4A1F9459.3000305@infoservices.in>

Dear all,

Coming back to the list after a long time. Hope you all are well.

I monitor a few remote servers with nagios  (  2.12 ).  I have
individual cfg file for every remote servers under nagios monitoring. I
need to add another email notification for a particular server say
serverA. Hence in serverA.cfg I have added the following

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
define contact{
        contact_name               nagios-others
        alias                           Nagios Others
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                          xxx at example.com  #<replaced by
original>
        }

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       others
        alias                   Nagios AdminOthers
        members                 nagios-others
        }

define host{
   name           serverA   ; The name of this host template
   use            generic-host   ; This template inherits other values
from the generic-host template
   check_period         24x7     ; By default, Linux hosts are checked
round the clock
   max_check_attempts      30    ; Check each Linux host 30 times (max)
   check_command              check-host-alive ; Default command to
check Linux hosts
   notification_period     workhours   ; Linux admins hate to be woken
up, so we only notify during the day
                     ; Note that the notification_period variable is
being overridden from
                     ; the value that is inherited from the generic-host
template!
   notification_interval      130      ; Resend notification every 2 hours
   notification_options    d,u,r    ; Only send notifications for
specific host states
   contact_groups       admins,others      ; Notifications get sent to
the admins by default
   register       0     ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL
HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
   }

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

After starting nagios I have checked that emails come to me as a member
of admins group but no to the another email address ( member of others
group )

I  have checked it several times;  "   even nagios -v nagios.cfg "
reports no problem but still the another email-id is not getting any mail.
Kindly enlighten me what is wrong here.

Thanks

Subject: How to send notification to non-admin group ?
Message-ID: <4A1F9A29.8030003@infoservices.in>

Dear all,

Coming back to the list after a long time. Hope you all are well.

I monitor a few remote servers with nagios  (  2.12 ).  I have
individual cfg file for every remote servers under nagios monitoring. I
need to add another email notification for a particular server say
serverA. Hence in serverA.cfg I have added the following

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
define contact{
        contact_name               nagios-others
        alias                           Nagios Others
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                          xxx at example.com  #<replaced by
original>
        }

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       others
        alias                   Nagios AdminOthers
        members                 nagios-others
        }

define host{
   name           serverA   ; The name of this host template
   use            generic-host   ; This template inherits other values
from the generic-host template
   check_period         24x7     ; By default, Linux hosts are checked
round the clock
   max_check_attempts      30    ; Check each Linux host 30 times (max)
   check_command              check-host-alive ; Default command to
check Linux hosts
   notification_period     workhours   ; Linux admins hate to be woken
up, so we only notify during the day
                     ; Note that the notification_period variable is
being overridden from
                     ; the value that is inherited from the generic-host
template!
   notification_interval      130      ; Resend notification every 2 hours
   notification_options    d,u,r    ; Only send notifications for
specific host states
   contact_groups       admins,others      ; Notifications get sent to
the admins by default
   register       0     ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL
HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
   }

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

After starting nagios I have checked that emails come to me as a member
of admins group but no to the another email address ( member of others
group )

I  have checked it several times;  "   even nagios -v nagios.cfg "
reports no problem but still the another email-id is not getting any mail.
Kindly enlighten me what is wrong here.

Thanks

Hi!

Just to let you all know there is a new perl module on CPAN:  
Nagios::Plugin::WWW::Mechanize.

You can use this to monitor your website, POSTing your login  
credentials, navigating through your site, and picking out specific  
content information. The example shows how I use it to capture the  
number of users that are subscribed to the opsview-users mailing list,  
after logging into Mailman's authentication system.

News story here: http://nagiosplugins.org/node/102

I'll also be running a workshop on this at the Nordic Meet next week.  
You'll wonder how you lived without this! See you there!

Ton

This is a restriction. Did it meet your test criteria?

This is a template, not a usable definition. Does the host{}  
definition that uses this template override the contact_groups  
parameter?

Other than those, does nagios.log show notifications to the contact?  
Nagios was restarted after making these changes?

Hello Marc,

yes, I have restarted the nagios a no. of times but no success.
Regarding the host defination I have already posted it in my previous post.
There is a noticeable line like

contact_groups  admins,others    ; Notifications get sent to the admins by default
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

is there anything which prevents my non admin group ?

Since this is different and depends on the underlying NetWeaver version,
the question is not easy to answer. As a start, I suggest you add the
following template to your agent.cfg:

[TEMPLATE_testme]
MONI_SET_NAME = "SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors"
MONI_NAME     = "All Contexts on Local Application Server"
PATTERN_0     = "*"

Then you use "check_sap_cons testme SID" and you will get a long list of
all available items. You may use an asterisk for abbreviation, like

[TEMPLATE_systemfull]
MONI_SET_NAME = "SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors"
MONI_NAME     = "All Contexts on Local Application Server"
PATTERN_0     = "*\SYSTEM\Free space"

This works for me on NetWeaver 2004 (6.40).

What you posted originally was not a host definition but rather a host  
_template_. The difference is critical and you even explain it in ALL  
CAPS above. The 'register 0' means that nagios isn't supposed to treat  
it as a host to check but rather as something that will be referenced  
in a subsequent host definition with a  'use' statement. Find where  
you 'use serverA' and look at that definition. If contact_groups is  
defined there, what's used in the template doesn't matter.

This wouldn't matter if the actual host definition overrides it.  
That's what I'm trying to determine.

Nothing outside of a configuration or logic error would. admins, non- 
admins, it's all the same to nagios.

FYI: I had lots of issues getting NRPE working on Solaris x86 and Sparc

after I got past those I continued to have issues getting NRPE to start 
from inetd/xinetd. I eventually just used check_by_ssh...

FWIW: it says specifically that its for Nagios 3.0.x, not 3.1.x We can 
both hope and assume it would work, but until the dev or another makes 
it work, there's no guarantees.

Use check_http instead. It's much better suited to this task. For  
example, I use --

define command {
     command_name                   check_caching
     command_line                   $USER1$/check_http -H www.ena.com - 
I $HOSTADDRESS$ --onredirect follow -p 8080 -wt 20 -ct 30 -to 35 -u http://www.ena.com 
  -R \/html
}

This translates to 'ask the proxy at $HOSTADDRESS$ on port 8080 to get  
the index page at http://www.ena.com, follow any redirects received  
and look for the string "/html" in the page.'

I'm just guessing, but do you have a home directory for the nagios user 
(with owner and group set to nagios)?
The "chdir" error might come from this.

Cheers!  This is exactly the thing I'd been waiting for.  Yes, I know I
could use webinject, but I'm much happier with a Perl interface.

Subject: WMI/WQL querying of HP boxes with Insight Manager
Message-ID: <FAC6DFEF4E4DDF41A31D7B7524D6DF8704065520@bbcxues14.national.core.bbc.co.uk>

While it's not specifically a nagios question, it's related to plugins. 

After an afternoon of tearing my hair out, I've confirmed that I really
hate windows.

However, after finding a nice little package to query WMI from linux
(wmi-client, it's tied into samba), I had hopes of interrorgating the HP
Insight Manager we have installed on many boxes. 

Unfortunatly I can't find any examples of using WQL to query it, and
while the information I can get out of windows (number of sticks of
physical memory), is great for our cmdb, it's not something I really
want to monitor with nagios. 

Has anyone got any experience with using WMI, specifically in talking to
HP?

(I want to monitor some boxes that I can't install anything on, even
snmp, let alone npre or our own agents)

fyi

I have been using nagios and nrpe 9-10 years now; sparc and x86, started back with solaris 7
and now soalris 10, zero error.... mix solaris, aix, hpux, linux.
The server has always been Solaris (sparc or x86), use inetd/xinetd/deamon mode
again zero error

The one 'problem' i have seen people complain about is ssl and nrpe, read the manual and it should pretty
clear what todo, 99.9% is almost the use not having doing some RTFM thingy :)
The other one is tcp-wrapper and nrpe, nrpe has a access control buildt-in
so I never understood one would need to use tcp-wrapper :)

Message-ID: <CF757435B64CD64798912313712C7B3259143B1592@van-mail01.vand1.oppy.com>

Hello,

I have a few boxes where I would like to check deeper in for performance counters such as our Exchange 2007 Server..

I am trying to run..

#Exchange Connection Count
define command{
command_name check_nt_exchange_connection_count
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\MSExchangeIS\\Connection Count" -w 100 -c 250
}

#Exchange Delivery Time
define command{
command_name check_nt_exchange_delivery_time
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\MSExchangeIS(_Average Delivery Time)\\%%Usage","Average Delivery Time is %.2f%%" -w 2 -c 10
}

#Exchange Maximum Users
define command{
command_name check_nt_exchange_maximum_users
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "\\MSExchangeIS\\Connection Count" -w 100 -c 250
}

#Exchange Messages Delivered/Minute
define command{
command_name check_nt_exchange_messages_delivered_per_min
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s password -p 12489 -v COUNTER -l "MSExchangeIS Mailbox(_Total)\\Messages Delivered/min" -w 25 -c 120
}

But I can't seem to get any proper responses.. what I get is..

0

This makes no sense? On the NSClient++ log...

Subject: Monitoring ipv6 enabled hosts
Message-ID: <200905292205.39231.ck@iphh.net>

Hi,

Since ipv6-enabled hosts usually have two IPs (v4 and v6), i wonder what is 
the best way to monitor both IPs for one host.
I can use the $HOSTADDRESS$ in the service only for either the ipv6 or the 
ipv4 addresses.
At the moment I just have two different hosts. How do you do it ?

cheers,
      Christoph

Subject: Problem setting up a Distributed Nagios
Message-ID: <4A207459.7010303@gmail.com>

I'm having a trouble getting a distributed Nagios setup working. I've 
been reading the doc's and searching the web and haven't found a 
solution yet. I'm running on Cento5.3 using the RPM package 
nagios-2.12-5.el5.

My demo setup is I have one Central Nagios and one Distributed Nagios 
server. I'm expecting the Distributed Nagios to monitor a remote hosts. 
For this example demo06.example.com and port HTTP:80. If HTTP doesn't 
respond on send a message using send_nsca (which is in a wrapper script 
called submit_check_results).

So far I can't get the Distributed Nagios to automatically send anything 
to the Central Nagios. I now have been able to send a message from the 
command line to the Central Nagios using submit_check_results.

If I stop HTTP:80 I only see this in my Distributed Nagios nagios.log:

[1243639213] SERVICE ALERT: 
demo06.example.com;HTTP:80;CRITICAL;HARD;1;Connection refused

Now if I run the following by hand it does work.

# submit_check_results demo06.example.com 'HTTP:80' 'CRITICAL' 'SOFT'

#-- Log on Central Nagios --

[1243630843] EXTERNAL COMMAND: 
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;demo06.example.com;HTTP:80;2;SOFT
[1243630851] SERVICE ALERT: demo06.example.com;HTTP:80;CRITICAL;HARD;1;SOFT

Is there a way to schedule downtime for a group in Nagios.  The
Windows admin wants a maintenance window for his 30 servers that
nagios monitors and I don't feel like doing it manually 30 times over!

WMI takes a while to navigate and learn,

You should just read through the nodes using a viewer as well as other
detailed resources.
Remember not all values in WMI are usefull, many items are RAW and there is
a different node to get Formated.
Also not all values are readable strings, like IP address under Network is
an array while I would have expected it to be a string
WMI does interact directly with HArdware, so general queries to Physical
disk or Logical Disk may induce turning the Floppy/CD drives.

The best resource for monitoring Standard things is to go to Microsofts web
site and search there

the Microsofts WMI documentation is found on MSDN.microsoft.com  in the MSDN
library under WMI SDK
(or at least that was were it was last time I referenced it) there is specs
on all the Standard Windows WMI functions/properties whatever they are
called.

Also on vista there is a built in WMI viewer if you can figure out how to
use it. I personally found it a headache.

Yes but they must all be in a hostgroup. In the Hostgroup Overview (or  
Summary), click on the hostgroup name in ()'s.

Hi All,

I'm trying out the Nagios Neat CSS style from monitoringexchange.org,
but I can't seem to get the sidebar formatting going for me.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Any ideas appreciated
/Lars S

Nagios will only send an e-mail for the single Host down event but  
will always display both the host and services as down (because they  
are). This is not configurable behavior and I can't think of any  
creative way to change the status of the services in that event that  
isn't a pain...

Subject: NSclient++ error messages (961 and 238).
Message-ID: <b8552ef40905302242u6c1ea051qf425e3513f2e8efc@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Nagios users!

I'm using NSClient++ and right now I have the following error messages:

nsclient++.cpp 961 no handler for command 'check_ok'

nschelper.cpp  238 no handler for command 'check_ok'

NSclient++ Version used in the windows clients (Win 2003): l
\NSclient++.cpp(244) NSclient++ version: 0.3.5.2 2008-09-24, platform: w32
How can I correct it and make it work with its full functionality (for
example passive checks monitoring)?
thank you all!

Using the check_cluster plugin is most common. You monitor the  
individual machines and services and check_cluster reflects the  
overall state of the service being monitored.
