Do you run ndoutils (to write results to a MySQL database) ? If so, which version ? I ask because I used to have a similar problem which I eventually tracked down to an interfering backup on the MySQL server that hosted the database. 2. Do you run other services on the Nagios server which might interfere with Nagios (e.g backups which start sometime after midnight) ? 3. Have you thought of upgrading to nagios 3.2.0 which is the latest stable version ?

The answers to your questions should be plainly visible below; my apologies to anyone reading on nagios-users. As regards question 1, I am certain we are not running ndo2db. I'm sorry if my first answer seemed ambiguous, perhaps I should have stated outright that I am not using ndoutils. I instead attempted to let you know that we were running some software that similarly stored data in a database and had already ruled out large/slow database queries as the source of my problem. Your response to number 2 is quite intriguing! Further detail on that might be helpful, though. I'll check to see if anyone is using this server for anything else that could interfere. I don't think a nagios check can be blocking, as 99% of our checks are passive checks passed through nsca and I don't think any of our active checks besides host checks (check_icmp) actually contact another computer. As to the pre-existing administrator, he was just rebooting the server every day as he did not know what was causing the problem. If I am convinced that an upgrade will fix the problem, I will email him. Otherwise, until there is some change, there's not much point in bothering him during his sabbatical. Finally, the checkresults thing. It seemed odd to me, but it looked like several normal files concatenated. I can't actually look at the file again until the server is booted and on a Monday morning that could be a while. ;) Thanks for your help! --Rick On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 8:21 AM, wrote: > From: rickmangus at gmail.com On Behalf Of Rick Mangus > Sent: 01 February 2010 13:30 > > > Thank you for the response.

Or is it still about trying the workarounds? I'm assuming that since there's no 3.2.1, that it's probably still about using the workarounds. Also, from what I read I had the impression that this only affected "falling back" -- that is, the one day of the year when you have a 25 hour day. This does not have an effect when we "spring forward" (i.e. a 23-hour day?) I have a need to upgrade from 3.0.6 to 3.2.0 to take advantage of the improved dependency checking, but I got bit by the DST issue in November and am frankly rather nervous about this again without knowing this has been addressed somehow.

Message-ID: <69C3739D-1073-4562-8146-E0FFE37870B2@frontierflying.com> I suspect the answer is no, but in nagios 3, is there any way to set up mutually exclusive contact? As in, I have a host template set up with a number of contacts. On specific hosts that use this template, I want to replace one contact (normal me) with a different contact (urgent me). The other contacts for the host remain the same, so I don't want to just override the contacts directive for the host. I think I can do something like contacts +UrgentMe, !NormalMe, but I'm not even sure about that - I want to say there was an issue with doing negative contacts (although that might have been something else- I'll try it and see). Be that as it may, it would be really convenient if I could set something in the contacts to say "Urgent me overrides Normal me" Is this possible?

I checked the > check_openmanage FAQ, but didn't see anything... Hi Benny, The command 'omreport storage controller' is pretty basic and should never fail like that. You should check if OMSA is correctly installed, specifically the storage stuff. OMSA consists of many different components, and I'm guessing that the storage component(s) are missing on your server. If you run the command manually, you get the same error message, right? Cheers, -- Trond H.

Hi Trond, I'm not sure - I let the Windows guys do the upgrades, so I wasn't witness. I asked them, though, and they said they did what they always do, so I wonder if Dell re-grouped some of the components and the storage bits weren't installed. They have followed the same process in the past for 5.3.0 - 6.1.0, so methinks OMSA may have changed a bit.

Confirmed - Dell changed something with the install process in v6.2.0, so the same procedure they were using in the past did *not* install the storage components. Thanks, Trond. FYI to everyone else that uses OMSA and check_openmanage - you may have to adjust the options you choose when installing.

Message-ID: <201002021317.AA01513@S2007337.jp.fujitsu.com> Hello all. I have a question does nagios refreshes the notification history event though the state retention option is specified. I am using the Nagios v3.0.6 and following is the situation: 1. Service Notification interval is set as 24h 2. Host status is UP at that time 3. Normal check interval is set 24h Following is the history from the nagios.log: * HARD status change had occured at Jan 11 08:35 . Notification has been sent at 08:35 * Notification was sent at Jan 12 08:35 * Notification was sent at Jan 13 08:35 * Commit was executed at Jan 13 22:24 * Notification was not sent at Jan 14 08:35 * Recovery status change had occured from CRITICAL -> OK at Jan 15 08:35. Notification has been sent at 08:35. I thought that Nagios inherits the last notification time when it restarts using the nagiostatus.sav. But it seems to be not the case for this time. Could someone give us an advice? Thank you.

Also, check the output of "hostname" command - if it's not correct, you can set it via hostname -v "nagios.mydomain.com" I think if you restart nagios after this change/fix, you will see what you expect... if not, check your httpd setup/ conf files for correct ServerName directive , etc etc...

I've got all the objects/*.cfg files included in nagios.cfg: cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/commands.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/contacts.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/timeperiods.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/templates.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/localhost.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/windows.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/linux.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/switch.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/printer.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/router.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/winhttp.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/twiki.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/bugzilla.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/mysql.cfg cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/exchange.cfg Sample host definition: #/etc/nagios/conf.d/mailsrv.cfg define host{ use windows-server ; Inherit default values from a template host_name mailsrv ; The name we're giving to this host alias mailsrv.domain.com ; A longer name associated with the host hostgroups windows-servers,exchange-servers address 10.239.1.16 ; IP address of the host parents cisco-3560g } Sample hostgroup definition: #/etc/nagios/objects/exchange.cfg define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name exchange-servers alias Exchange Servers } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name exchange-servers service_description Exchange Information Store check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l MSExchangeIS } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name exchange-servers service_description Exchange Management check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l MSExchangeMGMT } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name exchange-servers service_description Exchange MTA Stacks check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l MSExchangeMTA } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name exchange-servers service_description Exchange Routing Engine check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l RESvc } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name exchange-servers service_description Exchange System Attendant check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l MSExchangeSA } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name exchange-servers service_description IIS Admin Service check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l IISADMIN } This seems to work fine. However, I have three hostgroup files that do not work and I can't suss out why. They're all fairly identical, single-service hostgroups, two are checking a URL (bugzilla & twiki) and one is a Win32 service check. Sample 'broken' hostgroup config: #/etc/nagios/objects/twiki.cfg define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name twiki-servers alias TWiki Servers } define service{ use generic-service hostgroup_name twiki-servers service_description TWiki check_command check_http!$HOSTADDRESS$!twiki/bin/view/Software } When I run nagios -v with cfg_file=/etc/nagios/objects/twiki.cfg present, it complains: Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service (config file '/etc/nagios/objects/twiki.cfg', starting on line 24) Error processing object config files! I'm stumped as to why it cannot expand the hostname. It's defined in the same file and nowhere else. The only other place "twiki-servers" is referenced is in one of the other host files in conf.d: Sample host config (actually works regardless of whether broken hostgroups are included) #/etc/nagios/conf.d/hudson.cfg define host{ use linux-server ; Name of host template to use host_name hudson alias hudson hostgroups linux-servers,mysql-servers,twiki-servers,bugzilla-servers address hudson.sw.domain.com parents t1-router, cisco-3560g } If I comment out that include in nagios.cfg, things run just fine. The hostgroup_name definition does not appear anywhere else except that file. I would think that the exchange.cfg file would fail as well, since they're implemented identically. The same thing happens with the other 2 definitions, bugzilla.cfg and winhttp.cfg. They're very similar and use the exchange.cfg template. Am I missing something? This all *looks* like it should work. -- -Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From nagios at flatto.net Wed Feb 3 11:54:00 2010 From: nagios at flatto.net (Assaf Flatto) Date: Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:54:00 +0000 Subject: more nagiosgraph issues Message-ID: <4B6955C8.3020306@flatto.net> Hello List I've been struggling with nagiosgraph (1.4) and nagios 3.2 for the last 3 weeks and can't get it to work, my setting are as follows : Nagios.cfg # PROCESS PERFORMANCE DATA OPTION process_performance_data=1 service_perfdata_file=/var/spool/nagios/perfdata.log service_perfdata_file_template=$LASTSERVICECHECK$||$HOSTNAME$||$SERVICEDESC$||$SERVICEOUTPUT$||$SERVICEPERFDATA$ service_perfdata_file_mode=a service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=30 service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata commands.cfg: # Nagios Performance Commands define command { command_name process-service-perfdata command_line /usr/local/nagios/lib/insert.pl } nagiosgraph.conf : ( cleared from all comments ) debug = 5 debug_showgraph = 5 logfile = /usr/local/nagios/var/nagiosgraph.log rrddir = /usr/local/nagios/nagiosgraph/rrd mapfile = /usr/local/nagios/nagiosgraph/map colorscheme = 1 heartbeat = 600 perflog = /var/spool/nagios/perfdata.log dbseparator = subdir plotas = LINE2 maximums = Current Load,PLW,Procs: total,Procs: zombie,User Count minimums = APCUPSD,Mem: free,Mem: swap withmaximums = PING withminimums = PING hostdb = /usr/local/nagios/nagiosgraph/hostdb.conf servdb = /usr/local/nagios/nagiosgraph/servdb.conf nagioscgiurl = https://nagiosserver/nagios/cgi-bin javascript = /nagios/nagiosgraph.js stylesheet = /nagios/stylesheets/nagiosgraph.css graphlabels = true small = 650x150 clear = clear the list selecthost = Select server selectitems = Optionally, select the data set(s) to graph: selectserv = Select service fixedscale = Fixed Scale submit = Update Graphs zoom = Resize the graphs: perfforhost = Performance data for host perfforserv = Performance data for service service = service asof = as of dai = Today daily = Daily day = Today week = This Week weekly = Weekly month = This Month monthly = Monthly year = This Year yearly = Yearly configerror = Configuration Error (email Alan). noservicegiven = Bad URL for showservice.cgi; no service given apcupsd = Uninterruptible Power Supply Status (Battery Charge, Tempurature, Load Percentage, Time Left) bps = Bits Per Second clamdb = Clam Database diskgb = Disk Usage in Gigabytes diskpct = Disk Usage in Percent http = Bits Per Second load = Load Average losspct = Loss Percentage mailq = Pending Output E-mail Messages memory = RAM Usage Mem%3A%20swap = Swap Utilization swap = Swap Utilization ping = Ping Loss Percentage and Round Trip Average pingloss = Ping Loss Percentage pingrta = Ping Round Trip Average PLW = Perl Log Watcher Events procs = Processes qsize = Messages in Outbound Queue rta = Round Trip Average smtp = E-mail Status testcolor = Show Colors typesome = Type some space seperated nagiosgraph line names here graph = Graph previous = previous next = next createdby = Created by nagiosgraph directory and all sub dirs and files have nagios:nagios ownership with full rwx for group and user.

The --help details no such option so being trusting and not going through the code, I'd say no. A quick search of http://exchange.nagios.org shows a number of check_proc* scripts.

This is a configuration problem with your mailer daemon; it sounds like you haven't properly configured it to be Internet friendly. How you fix it depends on what MTA (postfix, sendmail, exim, etc) you're using on the Nagios machine and is pretty much outside the scope of this list.

I found a script that was being launched at midnight to purge old data from the database. The tables being pruned are used by perfparse to store perfdata and the like. They have > 180M rows, are 30-60GB, and are actively being inserted into all the while. As I understand it, they are InnoDB and should be using row (not table) locks, and really should not have much trouble with concurrent inserts. While this goes on, one CPU/core is largely in iowait, but the other 7 are largely idle, and we generally don't have any trouble with RAM or other resource exhaustion. Now that I know what caused my problem, I can reproduce it, which is ... interesting. After only a few minutes, nagios starts falling behind on service checks. It appears to be getting new checks with current timestamps in the nagios.log, but a service detail sorted by "Last Check" descending slowly shows the timestamps getting further and further behind current. A bit later, nagios starts taking 100% of 2 CPU cores, and nsca processes start to stack up... leading to the problem as I was observing it in the morning. In an attempt to diagnose I tried a few things. I have found that by the time nagios starts to bug out it can't be saved. If you cancel the delete query after seeing a lag on the check results, it does not slowly improve, and 'catch up' as I had hoped. This happens even if there are no rows to be deleted, though not if you use LIMIT to keep the query to a reasonable timeframe. I'm still looking for fresh ideas, but in the meantime I am writing a script to loop over the delete and do it in 10,000 row increments which are ~10 seconds instead of ~3M rows which takes over an hour per table. If you do the math, though, you'll see it'll be nearly as time-consuming, and I'm just hoping that we'll lock whatever is going on for a shorter period with room for inserts to happen in-between. Even if that 'fixes' it, I won't be satisfied. Any and all suggestions are welcomed. --Rick On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 11:01 AM, Rick Mangus > wrote: > Hello, all. > > Forgive me, I am new to the list, and have only begun working with nagios > recently.

The only real facility nagios has to do this (that I can think of right now) is is_volatile (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service) but that's probably overkill for your needs; particularly the notification implications. The other possibility for having something run every time the service is checked, is to configure your ocsp_command. Not exactly what it's generally used for, but it'll do in a pinch. -- Mike Lindsey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From stuart.browne at ausregistry.com.au Wed Feb 3 23:11:53 2010 From: stuart.browne at ausregistry.com.au (Stuart Browne) Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2010 09:11:53 +1100 Subject: Asterisk Questions In-Reply-To: <863B3EE13473404BB5FA7516A1E31EF71B5C73EB31@exchange-01.wolfe.local> References: <863B3EE13473404BB5FA7516A1E31EF71B5C73EB31@exchange-01.wolfe.local> Message-ID: <8CEF048B9EC83748B1517DC64EA130FB3E2C7F5313@off-win2003-01.ausregistrygroup.local> > -----Original Message----- > From: Wolfe, Robert [mailto:robert.wolfe at robertwolfe.org] > Sent: Thursday, 4 February 2010 01:52 > > Hi all! > > I am wanting to write a plugin that will tell Asterisk to make a test > call every so often and then report back to Nagios if a call was > successful or not.

Use NRPE (active) or NSCA (passive) for the check result submission. Write your test routine, house it on your remote server. For NRPE, use 'check_nrpe -H -c '. Have the NRPE daemon listen on your asterisk box with the '' defined in the 'nrpe.cfg' file. For NSCA, the NSCA daemon listens on your Nagios server, and a cron-job runs your check and submits the results. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/addons.html for a better description and more documentation the check submission methods.

Likely, your best option will be to set up an event handler script for that service. If you already have event handlers configured, and you want this logic to run everywhere, consider setting up a script like this for your global event handler. In the event handler, you will want to touch a file in /tmp based on the host, service, and state, whenever there's a hard state change. Like, /tmp/localhost-load-ok... You could even simplify if all you care is ok/not ok. Then in your notification script, just check for the presence of those files, and do your date calculation by pulling the modification date out with stat (or script code, if your notification command isn't a chunk of bash). Something like: now=`date +%s` if [ "${NAGIOS_LASTSSERVICESTATE}" == "OK"] then time=`echo ${now} - ${filetime} | bc` filetime=`stat -f "%m" /tmp/localhost-load-notok` else time=`echo ${now} - ${filetime} | bc` filetime=`stat -f "%m" /tmp/localhost-load-ok` fi echo "${NAGIOS_SERVICE} is now ${NAGIOS_SERVICESTATE} after ${time} seconds."

It seems Nagios doesn?t offer a Last State Duration macro, so I am assuming this is going to be a matter of some sort of custom scripting. Has anyone had experience with this sort of thing? $LASTSERVICEOK$ has potential, depending on when it's updated. "This is a timestamp in time_t format (seconds since the UNIX epoch) indicating the time at which the service was last detected as being in an OK state." so time_t(now) - $LASTSERVICEOK$ = number of seconds in non-OK state I am _assuming_ that the macro is not updated until after the recovery notification is sent. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From patrick.morris at hp.com Thu Feb 4 08:29:16 2010 From: patrick.morris at hp.com (Morris, Patrick) Date: Wed, 03 Feb 2010 23:29:16 -0800 Subject: Nagios 3.0.5 problem In-Reply-To: <77c454bb1002031249v7536f3f0l925d71e1077ff0b6@mail.gmail.com> References: <77c454bb1001290901s5248b437yba4c50994e8bf649@mail.gmail.com> <77c454bb1002031249v7536f3f0l925d71e1077ff0b6@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4B6A774C.1020207@hp.com> Rick Mangus wrote: > Well, I have more information to add. > > I found a script that was being launched at midnight to purge old data > from the database.

Are your check results going to the same disk partition where all the I/O is happening?

In the case of perfparse, it is a perl script that opens a named pipe for appending, and tacks the perfdata on the end. That leaves an option for blocking i/o that should exit in 5 seconds due to the perfdata_timeout, but should happen ~2000x/minute. While I think I can tweak the database performance or queue my perfdata logging, I still think there's something inelegant about that. On the other hand, once it works, I'll stop spending my time writing test scripts and sql queries. --Rick On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 1:29 AM, Morris, Patrick wrote: > > Rick Mangus wrote: > Are your check results going to the same disk partition where all the I/O is happening? ?If Nagios is stuck waiting for disk, moving them somewhere else may just fix your problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From shoaibahmedbaig at gmail.com Thu Feb 4 23:20:50 2010 From: shoaibahmedbaig at gmail.com (Shoaib Ahmed Baig) Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 03:20:50 +0500 Subject: Help Needed Message-ID: <963f18931002041420p2cd48fb2x3fb15b6086f83eae@mail.gmail.com> HI, Can any one explain/guide me what is the difference between the central and distributive server.

If so, you need to adjust the service_check_timeout value in nagios.cfg if you haven't already done so. You'll probably also want to verify that the check_tablespace command itself doesn't have a built-in timeout. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From EWScott at scotborders.gov.uk Fri Feb 5 17:25:53 2010 From: EWScott at scotborders.gov.uk (Scott, Ewan) Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 16:25:53 +0000 Subject: How can I get more information - eventlog descriptions - in my notification emails Message-ID: <771645F4ADF2C9449B7E6AE630C720018BC4BD233A@HQ-MAIL-01.scotborders.gov.uk> Hi I'm looking to get more information in my notificiation emails.

Make sure it is/was typed correctly in the notification command above. -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html#serviceoutput $SERVICEOUTPUT$ The first line of text output from the last service check (i.e. "Ping OK"). $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ The full text output (aside from the first line) from the last service check.

It's normal for the state to transition after one check... is it going into a hard state at that point? That's when the notification is generated, so if you're not waiting for that third attempt, that would explain why you don't see a notification. It's also not clear to me if you're receiving notifications for the host but not for the service, which again, would be normal. If you don't care about the host, you can just igve it a check command that never fails (check_dummy works well for that), but I wouldn't normally recommend doing that. What's in the Nagios logs regarding notifications on that host and service? Those would give a far clearer idea of what's going on than just guessing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From ton.voon at opsera.com Fri Feb 5 18:27:38 2010 From: ton.voon at opsera.com (Ton Voon) Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 17:27:38 +0000 Subject: Nagios 3.2.0 process dies silently - help!

What entries are in nagios.log? Is there a core dump file? Take a copy of retention.dat, then remove it. Does that start it up? If that fixes it, there maybe a corruption in retention.dat. Can you then reduce the problem down by removing entries in retention.dat to find what the problem is. If we can get it recreated, I can add a test to pick on this specific error.

I'd fire it up on the command line *without* -d, so it doesn't fire up as a daemon. Run it under strace so you can hopefully see if a syscall is failing.

Try running it in the foreground (without -d). If you don't see anything interesting when it dies, run it in the foreground through strace (strace -fFs512 /path/to/nagios -c /path/to/nagios.cfg). Verify you haven't run out of disk space or anything simple like that. If you're running SElinux, verify that there are no errors related to it in /var/log/messages. Is there anything special about the install or the machine it's running on?

Looks like your performance data file has exceeded the size limit supported by your OS (probably 2GB). You need to remove it or truncate it.

Karssen) Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 09:40:55 +0100 (CET) Subject: Nagios web GUI, contact groups, hosts and services Message-ID: <50402.213.75.32.135.1265618455.squirrel@imap.snow.nl> Dear list, I'm presently working on a Nagios 3.2.0 setup that monitors approximately 1000 hosts and about 5000 services. The setup doesn't make use of Nagios' notification system, instead people at a control center (NOC) use the Nagios web interface to alert the appropriate people in case of an alert. The Nagios configuration is based on a set of host (group) templates, where services are assigned to host groups. For example: the 'check_swap' service definition is associated with the host group 'all unix hosts'. The problem I'm confronted with is that the people at the NOC don't need to see all services on a given host. For example, they shouldn't call the sysadmin at night if an SSL certificate check goes into critical state because the certificate is only valid for ten more days. So we want to remove that service from their view. In the present situation contact groups (used to determine which servers are visible to which department) are added to each specific host, but according to the Nagios docs (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/cgiauth.html) a contact group can see _all_ services on a given host if it is listed as a contract group for the host. So I decided to remove the NOC contact group from the individual host definitions and to assign the NOC contact group only to specific services. This leads me to another problem. Some service checks (i.e. host groups) are used in one department only. This works fine. However, some other service checks (like check_swap for the 'all unix hosts' hostgroup) are shared by all departments, but some departments don't want the NOC to see check_swap alerts whereas others do want to pass these alerts to NOC. It would be possible to make services with slightly different names (e.g. check_swap_dept1, check_swap_dept2), each with the correct contact group. However, that seems to be a needless increase of complexity. Another approach would be to make host groups for each department and somehow change the service contact group for each host group. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get that to work. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

There is no need for nagios to "handle" the perfdata.log. Nagios only writes perfdata if you request it to do so. This data is _only_ interpreted by external tools, like pnp. They care about truncating the perfdata once they parsed it. Since you obviously don't use any perfdata tool - why do you write perfdata logs at all? ;) S GFKL Financial Services AG Vorstand: J?rgen Baltes, Dr. Tom Haverkamp Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Wilhelm Plumpe Sitz: Limbecker Platz 1, 45127 Essen, Amtsgericht Essen, HRB 13522 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <4b231bf01002080649m4130a690mfad1291994467bc4@mail.gmail.com> According to the docs (and in my set-up) a passive service check result of non-OK sets a SOFT state. So you need max_check_attempts passive and/or active checks until it changes to HARD. I want passive checks to set a HARD state immediately. Active checks should apply the max_check_attempts setting. Is there a way to achieve this? I found passive_host_checks_are_soft, but it applies only to hosts.

I am not suggesting how to conduct business in your organization but here is my suggestion. I would reach out to noc management and put together a wiki or how to for each unique possible critical alert scenario. The I would add the "notes_url" parameter of Nagios to point to that particular wiki page. Only thing noc has to do click on the notes_url page and they will know exactly what to do with the alert.

Any passive host check results in an immediate hard state. This option makes them more service-like for those who want/need that functionality. There are historical reasons why host checks are treated this way that never applied to services... -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From fevinkagen at gmail.com Mon Feb 8 16:53:04 2010 From: fevinkagen at gmail.com (fevin Kagen) Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 10:53:04 -0500 Subject: Hyperlink in Acknowledgement Comment In-Reply-To: <4B6D9466.3040006@hp.com> References: <4B6D9466.3040006@hp.com> Message-ID: Thanks, Patrick.

I suspect that you're not so much getting hit by a character stripping issue as by a quoting one, and maybe the "<" character is being interpreted as an input redirection.

Dubuc) Date: Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:59:29 -0500 Subject: How to access user-defined service variables in a command object Message-ID: <4B705F11.7000009@paul.dubuc.org> I'm trying to integrate the use of an internally developed alarm generation command into our Nagios configuration. So I want to define an Nagios command object that calls this command with arguments specific to the service that is generating the status condition that generates the alarm. One of the arguments is an alarm number. I can set this number in the service definition as a user defined variable: define service{ ... __ALARM_NUMBER 123 } Is it possible to access this variable in the command definition using on-demand macros? I tried to do this in the following way, but it doesn't seem to work: define command{ command_name notify-service-by-alarm command_line /usr/local/bin/sendalarm $HOSTALIAS$ $_SERVICE_ALARM_NUMBER:HOSTNAME:SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICEOUTPUT$ } Is there an alternative?

It is much easier if you define host and service groups though, because then you can use the extinfo.cgi to for example "schedule downtime for all services in this servicegroup, and all their hosts too". -- Martin Melin ____________________________ op5 AB http://www.op5.com http://www.op5.org/ http://www.op5.com/op5/products/network-monitor/nagios/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is where my confusion lies. There should be no way that a distributed server can make that kind of change on the central server, reload, restart or whatever. Assuming you've followed the distributed documentation, the only thing they can do is submit a check result unless you've created some special program that propagates other changes. I think you need to describe more clearly how you're set up, how your configs are created and distributed and how you're sending distributed results back to the central server. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null From queenie245 at gmail.com Tue Feb 9 09:56:46 2010 From: queenie245 at gmail.com (Queenie de Melo) Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2010 14:26:46 +0530 Subject: Error while cross compiling -error: parse error before "lt_ptr" Message-ID: <344a1c5e1002090056l7a33946ay5ec7210938ead47c@mail.gmail.com> I have downloaded nagios 3.2.0 and iam trying to cross compile for xscale big endian platform.

From a random M600 server here, the limits for ambient temperature is # omreport chassis temps Temperature Probes Information ------------------------------------ Main System Chassis Temperatures: Ok ------------------------------------ Index : 0 Status : Ok Probe Name : System Board Ambient Temp Reading : 16.0 C Minimum Warning Threshold : 8.0 C Maximum Warning Threshold : 42.0 C Minimum Failure Threshold : 3.0 C Maximum Failure Threshold : 47.0 C To be honest, I've never considered the possibility of anyone wanting to set custom temperatures *higher* than the OMSA maximum. I allways assumed that people wanted to use the custom limits to set the max temperature *lower* than the default limits. Clearly I was wrong :) What happens in your case is that the OMSA limits kicks in. It is possible to adjust the OMSA warning limits, e.g. # omconfig chassis temps index=0 maxwarnthresh=45 Temperature probe warning threshold(s) set successfully. It is not possible to adjust the critical (failure) limits like this, only the warning limits can be set manually. Also, I believe that when a server hits the critical limit, in the interest of self preservation it shuts itself down. The plugin could be made to ignore the OMSA warning limit if the custom limit is set beyond it, but I'm not sure that we want this in general. What do you think? Cheers, -- Trond H.

I don't *want* to tweak this, but we have a single server in a remote office in a wiring closet that just barely hits 43C each morning when people start showing up and things start working a bit. It causes a lot of nuisance alerts, so we were playing with massaging the thresholds a bit. > What happens in your case is that the OMSA limits kicks in.

Now that I know what's going on (and how to adjust the OMSA threshold if need be), I'd say keep it where it is. However, if these details were mentioned on the page: http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/check_openmanage.html it would have saved me a lot of time, hair, and such. Could this be added?

Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2010 12:45:48 -0500 Subject: Improving performace of the check_folder_size script Message-ID: Hi there -- I am running Nagios 3.1.2 with the nrpe 2.12 client. One of the scripts that I am using is the check_folder_size script. The Nagios server is on one subnet, while the client is on another. The connection between the two is via a 10GB WAN connection. The script is configured on the client to send warnings when the folder in question reaches 500 gigabytes. The entire disk that the folder is on is four terabytes. The script appears to be doing its job pretty well, but I notice that occasionally I will get timeout issues with the script. I suspect the configuration of the script on the Nagios server is the cause, and I wanted to get feedback as to the best settings to have for the script. The current configuration is shown below: # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name service_description Folder Size Active 1 is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 1440 retry_check_interval 720 contact_groups linux-admins notification_interval 1440 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_nrpe!check_folder_size1 } Does anyone have any suggestions as to what settings would be better here?

They have a check_command defined, but, like my SNMP trap catcher service, it only fires when it's time to check freshness. All these services show up as "X Services Disabled" in the "Active Checks" area of the tactical overview screen, as though this was a problem. However, this is normal, and I don't want to see any "red" areas on the overview. (I want _any_ red on that screen to mean, "PANIC!") Can anyone tell me how to make Nagios ignore this? Also, these same services have flapping detection disabled, so, same thing for that as well. Or, rather, is the only way to get rid of this to go ahead and enable the active_check command, probably on a lengthy interval time?

Message-ID: <5F48703F-0559-44C1-B183-6CA9AE40DD72@highwire.stanford.edu> We're running Nagios 2.5. Every night we take hundreds of services being monitored by Nagios down for a quick restart. The restart process takes no more than 15 minutes and just before each service goes down, a script sends a scheduled flexible downtime request to Nagios (for a 15 minute flexible window). We've noticed that, sometimes, Nagios doesn't cancel the downtime at the end of the window, and days later we have services that are listed as still being in scheduled downtime (even though the window time is long past). Has this been found and/or fixed in a later release of Nagios? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

Much more likely is that the script is using something like '/bin/du' to calculate the size of the directory and that it is sometimes taking longer than you've told nagios to wait to do so. That doesn't really surprise me for a directory of that size. > The current > configuration is shown below: > > # Service definition > define service{ > check_command check_nrpe!check_folder_size1 > } > > Does anyone have any suggestions as to what settings would be better here? Thanks. Look at your check_nrpe command definition. If it specifies a timeout value (-to), increase it as needed. If it doesn't, add one. Also check the value of service_check_timeout in nagios.cfg. It should be higher than the check_nrpe timeout. An even better solution is to make that directory it's own partition. Then you can use check_disk, which will be nearly instantaneous, to determine the size of the directory. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

To be honest, I've never actually tested the SNMPv3 stuff. I just pass the options to Net::SNMP and let it handle it, and hope that it works. You are the first to report SNMPv3 troubles, and I assume that the SNMPv3 users are a minority. I'm always interested in fixing bugs, but I'm unable to reproduce this problem. I see that you're checking a Windows box. I have none of those to play with, but I have set up SNMPv3 on a RHEL5 box. Checking the RHEL5 host via SNMPv3 works just fine: $ ./check_openmanage -H myhost -P 3 --authprotocol md5 -U xxxx \ --authpassword xxxx --privpassword xxxx --privprotocol des Controller 0 [SAS 6/iR Integrated]: Driver '3.04.07rh' is out of date Windows + OMSA + SNMP has had some problems in the past, but at least for SNMPv2c and SNMPv1 these issues should be resolved with OMSA 5.5.0.1 and later versions. It seems there are still issues with SNMPv3. In the past, there have been problems with SNMP and using the Net::SNMP function get_entries() vs. get_table(). The former is preferred because it is faster, since we're not interested in all the OIDs. This is especially true for servers with many physical disks. I have created a test version that fetches the cooling OIDs with get_table() instead of get_entries() if SNMPv3 is used. This version is available here: http://folk.uio.no/trondham/tmp/check_openmanage-snmpv3test Can you try this version on the servers where checking the cooling devices fail? (It's a bit more complicated for physical drives). PS. Please upgrade to OMSA version 5.5.0.1 or later. Previous versions are known to perform badly with SNMP on Windows. Cheers, -- Trond H.

I wonder if there was some OS patch that was applied that took care of that. The OS level on our servers is shown as "HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64 1200835863" if that helps. swlist does show that we have an installed tcp wrapper package, however: HPUX-TCPWRAP B.11.31 HPUX TCPWrapper daemon 'nm' shows that there is a fromhost() entity in /usr/lib/libwrap.sl (libwrap.1) Unless I'm mistaken, your issue is with the libwrap library which I think exists on HPUX, but isn't complete as far as NRPE is concerned. I never spent a lot of time trying to find a generalized solution to this, but instead kind of hacked something into nrpe.c where I think I just commented out some of the #ifdef HAVE_LIBWRAP code segments. Note that the fromhost() call you're missing is in one of the HAVE_LIBRWRAP sections. I believe that NRPE expects that . We don't use TCP wrappers anyway, so it's not a loss. I first encountered this issue with PA-RISC HPUX and I believe the way I got around was to download the latest tcp wrapper code from the internet, then pulled out the function that I was missing (I don't recall if it was from host My current issue with NRPE on HPUX is twofold -- the lack of some syslog capabilities, and that the configure script doesn't correctly find our SSL libraries.

To be honest, I've never actually tested the SNMPv3 stuff. I just pass the options to Net::SNMP and let it handle it, and hope that it works. You are the first to report SNMPv3 troubles, and I assume that the SNMPv3 users are a minority. I'm always interested in fixing bugs, but I'm unable to reproduce this problem. I see that you're checking a Windows box. I have none of those to play with, but I have set up SNMPv3 on a RHEL5 box. Checking the RHEL5 host via SNMPv3 works just fine: $ ./check_openmanage -H myhost -P 3 --authprotocol md5 -U xxxx \ --authpassword xxxx --privpassword xxxx --privprotocol des Controller 0 [SAS 6/iR Integrated]: Driver '3.04.07rh' is out of date Windows + OMSA + SNMP has had some problems in the past, but at least for SNMPv2c and SNMPv1 these issues should be resolved with OMSA 5.5.0.1 and later versions. It seems there are still issues with SNMPv3. In the past, there have been problems with SNMP and using the Net::SNMP function get_entries() vs. get_table(). The former is preferred because it is faster, since we're not interested in all the OIDs. This is especially true for servers with many physical disks. I have created a test version that fetches the cooling OIDs with get_table() instead of get_entries() if SNMPv3 is used. This version is available here: http://folk.uio.no/trondham/tmp/check_openmanage-snmpv3test Can you try this version on the servers where checking the cooling devices fail? (It's a bit more complicated for physical drives). PS. Please upgrade to OMSA version 5.5.0.1 or later. Previous versions are known to perform badly with SNMP on Windows. Cheers, -- Trond H.

The results are arriving fine and functionality is working on . When I go to view the Service Availability for the services monitored by the remote server , for 5 out of the 6 i get the proper report ( up ,down, success etc') , but for the 6th , it only entries like this : 11-01-2010 16:05:23 11-01-2010 16:05:23 0d 0h 0m 0s PROGRAM (RE)START Program start 11-01-2010 16:05:23 11-01-2010 16:07:18 0d 0h 1m 55s PROGRAM END Abnormal program termination All the services configuration is identical ( with the exception of the IP of course) , but this is the only one to display this behaviour , any one has any ideas why ?

I even get "Physical Disk 0:1 [Ata WDC WD800JD-75MSA3, 0GB] on ctrl 0 needs attention: Failure Predicted" as expected. I was expecting also an errormessage from the Virtual disks, as they are degraded, but that's not there. Moreover, I know some of our servers have problems with power supplies or memory, so I changed a section in the below mentioned script like you did for the disks and others, just to test: #my $result = $snmp_session->get_entries(-columns => [keys %ps_oid]); ######################################################################## ## # SNMPv3 test ######################################################################## ## my $result = q{}; if ($opt{protocol} == 3) { my $powerDeviceTable = '1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.600.12.1'; $result = $snmp_session->get_table(-baseoid => $powerDeviceTable); } else { $result = $snmp_session->get_entries(-columns => [keys %ps_oid]); } ######################################################################## ## ######################################################################## ## And now I do get the expected error: "Power Supply 1 [AC] needs attention: Presence detected, Failure detected, AC lost" I think it is safe to say that, when using net-snmp v3, the get_entries method is not giving the expected result. Maybe other people have experience with that. Many thanks for your help.

Hmm.. was this on one of the servers that previously has problems fetching the cooling OIDs? I believe it would be better to make this work with the standard Windows SNMP service, which is what most people would use. Where the results any different without net-snmp? > This normally indicates a too low version of OMSA, but I am using 6.2.0. With SNMPv2 on Windows, that usually is the case, yes. I have a new test version for you: http://folk.uio.no/trondham/tmp/check_openmanage-snmpv3test2 This version uses get_table() for fetching OIDs for CPUs and physical drives as well as cooling devices.

I am looking for a tool for testing network speeds on our "local" network, similar to internet speed sites. The difference being that I need something I can install somewhere on our local network so we can get site-to-site results between our main hub and our outstations. The idea being to test the actual speed we are getting over our private links. This wouldn't necessarily need to integrate with Nagios however, as it would just be for periodic spot checks - thus the OT label.

I'd start there. If you're looking for single-connection throughput, the old download-a-file-and-see-how-long-it-takes method works pretty well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

The complete picture is still a little unclear to me. Do these problems occur only when you use net-snmp instead of Windows' native snmp agent? (I'm assuming that "net-snmp" refers to http://freshmeat.net/projects/net-snmp). I would be interested in any test results you might have using the native Windows snmp agent with SNMPv3.

Currently (for many devices), I do snmp poll twice, one for nagios, one for cricket. Do you have any suggestion as to poll once and have the data available for both system.

We use cricket to poll network related data. However I have not found a way to poll once in nagios and use the data for cricket. Currently (for many devices), I do snmp poll twice, one for nagios, one for cricket. Do you have any suggestion as to poll once and have the data available for both system. Thanks No, I don't. The bandwidth necessary to do the polling is so minimal that there's never been a need to consider it. Additionally, cricket polls so many more things than we care about to monitor in Nagios that it doesn't make sense for us to poll just with nagios. Finally, cricket is just much better at doing that kind of polling than nagios is because that's what it was designed to do. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

I suppose you could, so long as the active check actually returned a correct check result. Personally I just don't use the tactical overview screen very often.

If you look in the version history for Nagios 3.x at http://www.nagios.org/development/history/core-3x you will see that in version 3.0b4 there was "Fix for segfault when cancelling active scheduled host downtime" which I guess is what fixed the problem I was seeing anyway. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

I'm not sure, no, but I guess there could be some corruption in the log files which only affects lines in the log file relating to that service. I would grep the nagios log files (under /usr/local/nagios/var/archives) for the entries relating to that service to see if there is anything different about them. Try running an availability report for a very short period (say, the last 24 hours) and see if that works. Also, I would see if there are any special characters in the service definition which might mess up the report CGI. Can you post an example of a service definition which is working ok and one which is not from your objects.cache file? hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

It wouldn't do any harm to try! (assuming you take a backup of your compiled statusmap binary first). I don't know 'C' either. You might find the automap in NagVis ( http://www.nagvis.org/ ) is easier to use once it is set up. I would also recommend you try NEXSM (Nagios EXtended Status Map) but it looks like the web page for it is no longer accessible.

It would write some information to the log file though if I remember correctly. I would echo Andreas' comment - it would be wise if possible to consider upgrading if not to the current supported version then to the latest version of Nagios 2.x. I don't think the segfault problem with scheduled downtime was ever fixed in Nagios 2.x so I would recommend an upgrade to 3.x if you can. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

It was a lot easier in earlier versions of Nagios "Alarm Settings Tab?" I'm not sure Nagios has such a thing. The easiest way to handle it in Nagios 3 would probably be to have a service template set up that adds the SQL admins as a contact, and then use something like "use sql_service" to include that template for any services you want that group notified on (assuming there is a standard set of notification recipients that also receive them. An alternative would be to add that group to each service, as you mentioned. Neither of those has changed substantially since Nagios was first called Nagios, as far as I know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

My guess is that you've got a quoting and/or special character issue in your check or service commands; there shouldn't really be any difference between running it from the command line and running it through Nagios in this respect. One relatively easy way to check that would be to run the check through a wrapper script that first echoes the command it's using to a log file, and then runs the command. My guess is that you'll find the command Nagios is running and the one you're running from the command line aren't the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

When a service check fails, the first thing Nagios will do is look to see if the service failed because the host is down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

Message-ID: <4B7C28BD.6040405@reppep.com> To keep things simple, we define contacts in our host templates. This means that adding a simple host is as simple as copying & pasting a short host definition and changing the name. I'd like to do the same for escalations -- sending to the same people's cellphones via email, at least for now. We definitely don't want to add a hostname to hostnameescalation & serviceescalation definitions every time we add a host (in another file). Is there any particular reason hosts can define contacts but not escalations? This applies equally to services, of course. For now, I will define hostgroups inside serviceescalation, but I'm not sure how that will affect additional contacts (added with +user in individual host & hostgroup definitions). Alternatively, if there's a simple way to start with email notifications and then automatically start pager notifications (for those contacts with pager: defined) after an interval, that would work as well and be even simpler. I don't see anything built in for deferring pages until a few emails have gone unanswered, though. Thanks!

Any idea? You need to post the service{} and command{} definition that's not working. It's seems clear that something is different there than what you're testing from the command line.

These macros are not available with event handlers, since eventhandlers do not have contacts associated with them.

See notes 5 and 7 on the page you linked. These macros work as on-demand-macros in event handlers, since event handler have no contacts associated with them. To obtain a list of conatct group members in that contacts, you would also need to provide the name of the group. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

It would not effect hard/soft states. Several things could cause this, but it appears you've stripped all context out of the logs. Was Nagios restarted between the " CRITICAL;HARD;3" and the "CRITICAL;SOFT;1," maybe? Im not 100% sure, but the service state count may also be reset (I'd be a bit surprised if it isn't) if the host is determined to be down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

With the exception of $MACRO$ substitutions, nagios just takes your raw command_line and passes it to the shell for execution.

Compiling and installing from tarball is not difficult at all and you have control over where things get put (by default everything is under /usr/local/nagios). You'll need to set up a second http vhost with a different name for the second instance and either modify the nagios init script to start the second instance or add the startup to rc.local.

Maybe if I installed from the tar-ball, I could specify new directories for V3, but I'm also trying to avoid that learning-process and use a pre-packaged rpm. > > Maybe installing V3 on a different server all-together, then moving it to the production machine would be a way. I think the standard advice is no you can't run more than one instance on a single operating-system (of course you probably can if you put enough effort in to it). I would recommend against installing your new Nagios 3 install with non-standard install paths - it could make installing add-ons in the future (for example PNP graphing, NagVis dashboards etc,) difficult if everything is in the wrong place. Personally, when I upgraded from 2 to 3, I put the 3 install on a new server and 'migrated' hosts and services across from old to new gradually over a period of a couple of months. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

It's not a PHP thing... Nagios does not have functionality to limit (or expand, depending on how you look at it), the display of multiple hostgroups that are a subset of all hostgroups. The only exception to this is limitation through authentication, which wouldn't appear to fit your goals. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

These macros work as on-demand-macros in event handlers, since event handler have no contacts associated with them. To obtain a list of conatct group members in that contacts, you would also need to provide the name of the group. > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Think it's more likely to be some of the other tables getting large. Have you changed the table engine from MyISAM to InnoDB? I'll have a play with the debug settings to see if I can find where the delay is coming in.

I'd like to have the second server skip the initial notifications, since under normal circumstances we'll receive the primary server's notification email and react to that. Does Nagios provide a way to do this? I don't see anything. Currently, I'm considering going with email notifications from primary every 30min, and using a $USER$ macro to effectively set notifications_enabled=0 on secondary. Then I should be abel to escalate to pages with first_notification=3 from secondary, and first_notification=5 from primary. This way, if primary goes down, we should get pages at 90min; if secondary goes down, we should get email about it at 30min and pages at 150min. I can also explicitly enable notifications regarding primary on the secondary server. Is there a better way to do this?

Message-ID: <4B7D861D.1090906@medin.name> Hello Since I am pondering a replacement for the NSCA and NRPE protocol I thought I would get some thoughts from the community? So this is pretty much an "open floor" kind of thing to get some sense of what people actually need and would want (if anything at all). But to get some general idea I'll give you a few questions to start it off: Is a new protocol a good idea? Should a new protocol be "flat text based" or structured? Would webservices be the best way? Should the protocol be extensible? What features would a new protocol need to support? - message, performance data, configuration, multiple queries, control logic transfer, inventory, etc. What plattforms would it need to support? Whats polling scheme(s): active, passive, active/passive, proxy, etc? Master/slave scenarios? In both NRPE and NSCA "nagios" is the master should the client be allowed to act as master? What kind of security mechanisms do you need (host, password, encryption, certificates, etc)? Client side "checks" or client side data gathering with server side checks? (ie. check_nrpe get "ok" back, another option would be to get the "value" and let the server decide if it is good or bad.) Multiple streams? ie send to both Nagios and potentially other collectors (like rrd) <> // Michael Medin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Pardon me if this is already covered somewhere in the documentation. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I have a working Nagios 3.2.0 environment in a distributed configuration. One of my environments lives behind a firewall that is blocking icmp traffic from the central server. In that same environment I have a remote Nagios node that is successfully sending service checks backs to the central server. All of the nodes behind this firewall are reporting "DOWN" on the central server nagios page, but their service checks are reporting "OK". Is their a configuration setting available so that the central server will report these nodes as UP if it receives a successful check from the remote monitoring node? The "translate_passive_host_checks" options sounds like it should work, but it doesn't. I understand I can remove the check_command from the host.cfg, but the host status will be a Pending status. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

I need to have Nagios notify certain people when there is an issue with a host or any service on it. I see that adding their contactgroup to the host definition only notifies them when the host itself is down or up, however adding their contactgroup to the service definition would notify them whenever said service has an issue on any host - not just the ones I want them to be notified about. Where is the happy medium here? Do I need to create a duplicate copy of all services on these hosts just so that I can list them as the contacts?

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. translate_passive_host_checks only works if you send them. Are you? I suspect whatever method you're using to send service check results upstream is only being used for service checks, and you may need to modify it to also send service check results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Separate the structure of the protocol from the underlying transport mechanism. In my mind, a lack of that separation is actually the greatest weakness of the current protocol. Web services are an excellent choice of transport for many situations, and quite likely will be the the dominant one for the foreseeable future. Another potential transport is SSH, yet another could be RFC 1149/RFC 2549 avian carriers or whatever else somebody comes up with. Some advantages of Web services: Advantages: - built-in firewall compatibility - built-in encryption and authentication (via SSL) Drawbacks: - needs to be integrated with Web servers, potentially adding to complexity and performance issues. > > Should the protocol be extensible? Yes, within reason. One of the beauties of Nagios is in its simplicity, so if you add too much extensibility you might actually lose more than you gain. But on the other hand, some extensibility is important - otherwise, people will come up with their own extensions that don't really fit with the model.

Define "master" and "slave" in this context! If you are talking about the current model of multiple Nagios servers, it seems to me that this is more of a redesign of Nagios, rather than a protocol issue. One thing I would definitely like to see in this context is automatically adding services to Nagios when passive check results arrive. Keeping the list of services in sync between master and slave servers is one of the things that makes such a setup complicated. > > What kind of security mechanisms do you need (host, password, > > encryption, certificates, etc)? That should be left to the underlying transport.

Definitely client-side checks. Otherwise, you'd be looking at effectively re-inventing RPC.

That really isn't a good reason to throw out the investment thousands of people have made in a working NRPE/NSCA infrastructure! When the next developer comes into the project and likes Java, are we going to get yet another protocol? What if somebody wants to write a client for a new platform - does it have to be in C++? Now don't get me wrong: I actually agree that there are good reasons to update or even replace the protocol. But I'm quite concerned about the motivation, and the end result that would come from it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Yet strangely enough most people who uses nagios (or for that matter other monitoring tools) uses various "other protocol" like wbem, ssh, nrpe, nsca, etc etc. So is that because they have "yet to see the light" or because the (SNMP) clients are lacking something? Or is it because of limitations in the SNMP protocol? (I was under the impression that the efforts of WBEM was to fix various issues with SNMP?). // Michael Medin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

NRPE is very fast but not secure [1], SNMP v1 is slower and insecure. SNMP v3 or SSH are secure but take some resources. I made some test with those 4 protocols. To check if a process is running takes by average : - 27 ms with nrpe (with ssl) - 62 ms with snmp v1 - 107 ms with snmp v3 (SHA for authentication and AES for privacy) - 113 ms with SSHv2 (authentication by certifcate) [1] http://tracker.nagios.org/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=125 -- Flyinvap ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

But, I do export to a third application the service's perfdata. (using service_perfdata_file* instructions of Nagios). That third application is extracting from it whether services are up or down and doing some actions in consequence. This behavior is a problem to me because of two facts : - The third application is aware of a problem before the timing I expect it to be. (normally should be around "max_check_attempts * retry_check_interval ") - The administrator may not receive e-mail notification if the host is up again before the host gets "CRITICAL HARD". And the information has passed to that third application anyway! Hope you understand a bit more the inconsistency.

It depends what version of Nagios you are using (what version are you using?). In Nagios 3, the service will inherit any contactgroups from the host (unless any are explicitly defined for the service).

Still, I think without understanding what the new protocol would improve, it's very hard to say even whether it's a doomed ship. The main concern, the main thing that could doom the ship, is compatibility. Many great ideas die because of it. You know the old joke how it was possible to create the world in seven days? He didn't have to worry about an installed base... And it's why we still have Fax machines.

I'm not sure about that. It seems to work reasonably well for what it is supposed to do. I am only aware of two issues with it: insufficient separation of protocol and transport, and an awkward mechanism for performance data. A third issue is that it's not documented very well, or at least not easy to find. > >>> Should a new protocol be "flat text based" or structured? > >>> > > What is the design goal?

Interoperability is yet another one? We don't really want Yet Another Protocol unless there is some very clear value in it.

My client does some of the same thing. My guess is that quite a few people have similar homegrown solutions already. You can probably find many ideas at the Monitoringexchange.org site. What that means is a couple things: first of all, look what people are doing in terms of homegrown solutions. That's probably where the most interest is. If your protocol solves the same problem that 1000 people had to spend days scripting out before, you are likely to have a good starting point for a feature set. > >>> Multiple streams? > >>> ie send to both Nagios and potentially other collectors (like rrd) > >>> > > No. Keep it simple, not a protocol to solve all the problems in the > world.

I think to do this cleanly, you would have to rearchitect Nagios itself. That might not be a bad idea, but probably a much bigger scope than you had in mind. It's not something that could be solved at the protocol level. The issue I'm thinking of is that the "traditional" Nagios checks would bypass this mechanism, since you would "only" replace NRPE/NSCA. Similarly, NRPE/NSCA wouldn't go away for many years to come due to the large installed base. So the best way to solve this would probably be to completely remove the command logic from the Nagios "kernel" and extract it into a separate component. The kernel would just handle the status processing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

But if you do not the > routing back you will never receive the answer. So what. You could make that argument about all IP spoofing. Yet it is one of the more popular hacker tools. Mostly because many types of hack don't require the answer. Either the answer is well known or easily guessable (such as the prompts in the SMTP protocol, for instance), or the mischief happens by the spoofed packet. With UDP the problem is compounded because there is no need to even try to establish a connection. Just send your spoofed packet complete with payload and all. Right off the bat, I can think of three ways to use that quite nefariously. 1) Denial of service. Simply send so many bogus SNMP packets to a Nagios server that it gets overloaded and stops handling the real check results. 2) Denial of service. Send malformed SNMP packets that crash Nagios. Are you sure that there is no buffer overflow in Nagios? Anywhere? 3) Perform an attack on a monitored server and send spoofed "I am healthy" SNMP messages to Nagios while the server in reality is down. What messages to send is easy to find out by plain network monitoring, since SNMP is not encrypted. And the more powerful the protocol is, the greater the risk.

I don't think SNMP is a good choice; in fact, I think it would be a step backwards from the current protocol. I actually chose NSCA over SNMP in my own configuration because SNMP had too many issues. SNMP actually is great for what it was designed for, but that is a very different purpose. Among the issues I can think of: - You can't run SNMP over the public Internet. That's a killer in my mind. - SNMP is insecure. CERT recommends disabling SNMP whenever possible because of the many security issues. And the list of vulnerabilities in SNMP is scary. - No security to speak of in SNMPv1 and v2 (other than the plain text "community string" which is almost always "private"). - SNMP is UDP (although you can make it work over TCP). UDP is bad, very bad, for Nagios' purposes. It makes firewall issues extra tough to deal with. You can't send it through SSH tunnels, you can't wrap it in HTTP requests, you pretty much can't do anything with it except route it. - UDP is more prone to IP spoofing and DOS attacks than TCP. - Who is going to assign/manage the OIDs? - No SNMPv3 on Windows (unless you spend considerable amount installing and configuring net-snmp). > > > > Would webservices be the best way? > > > > It could be but what about performance ?

The biggest issue is that Microsoft doesn't support it (they are pushing their own protocol, MoM instead). You can replace Microsoft's SNMP with net-snmp or others, but that defeats the "supported out of the box" idea. If I have to install something, I'd rather install a traditional NRPE or NSCA client. > > I made some test with those 4 protocols.

Good to know. I'm using ndoutils b9 and frequently seeing delays greater than 1 minute between logging the EXTERNAL COMMAND and seeinf the result going through. Going from the NSCA daemon receving the result to it being logged in the external command file takes a few seconds, which is fine, but the delay in actually getting the result is the pain!

This pertains more to our particular situation here and I'm sure isn't everyone else's situation. On the topic of a setup that would push configuration more to the client side, that would be somewhat of an administrative nightmare for us. We run a lot of hosts/checks that are all very different (i.e. we don't do 10K checks of the exact same type of router or host). In many cases there are custom scripts that apply only to a certain set of hosts. Pushing changes to sets of hosts would be, erm, horrible for us. On SNMP... while I know people who use this for Nagios quite effectively, this is also a problem in our situation. While we "own" the boxes we monitor, we don't have admin control over them. The entities that do maintain/control SNMP and are unlikely to allow us to control or extend them much. Particularly with custom scripts that we require for Nagios. So while SNMP may be a solution for some, it wouldn't be for us. I too must say that I'm reasonably happy at least with NRPE (using NRPE on Unix/Linux and NSClient++ on Windows). I did change the NRPE source to allow a larger buffer for messages which seems to comfortably allow larger messages to come through. NSCA as a protocol is OK, but I've had to write my own client to push check results back from our distributed nodes to the central Nagios servers which has been stable, but a pain to maintain. I'm looking forward to possibly using Merlin when I feel it's more stable and dumping my custom stuff entirely. That's not to say that NRPE or NSCA couldn't use a revamp. I'd just have to say it's not been on the top of my "wish it were improved" list. My $0.02.

DH key is defined at > during compilation ... Oh, absolutely. And actually, I believe that's a good thing as long as you get to select the underlying transport mechanism. The authentication and encryption should really be provided by whatever carries the data, not by Nagios at all. With security-related issues, the fewer implementations you have, the better. Rather than reimplement encryption and authentication and then waiting for the security holes to get discovered, why not leverage the work on the SSH and Apache projects? With SNMP, there is no way to do that - you basically can't wrap UDP in any way. With NRPE, you can easily implement all kinds of homegrown solutions already: ssh tunnels, HTTPS. In the end, I agree with another poster: NRPE/NSCA could use a revamp (or outright replacement), but it's really not on the top of the list. And I'm concerned that the replacement may end up being worse than the original. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

We have had very good success with SNMP for polling; we are getting about 2200 hosts and 15000+ active checks per poller, about 80% of our checks are SNMP-based, 95% of our checks (that is a number from our performance graphing) return in < 1 sec. Our SNMP zone is heavily ACL'd and not reachable from outside of our networks, and yes, security is a very big design question that has to be answered early and revisited often when using SNMP. We do not use SNMP v3 for performance reasons. I use SNMP v3 for WAN SNMP polling and for small scale projects it works well and I have never had cracks or breakins through the SNMP agent (as compared to the many many cracks that have happened on web hosts with customer sites through PHP miscoding or other web-based vulns). The tradeoffs of SNMP vs other protocols Pros ===================== * It is a standard, so it does not lock anyone into using Nagios-specific protocols, in some orgs this is seen as a big advantage * It is well supported from a library and code perspective; many ways to integrate SNMP code into applications * MIBs give a common language for teams to use to communicate what checks do. In larger organizations, this langua franca can make conversations about monitoring more productive and more productive; MIBs also provide developer documentation for consumers of SNMP-based metrics / information. * It performs well for us in our environment. Yes, this is subjective, our performance graphs support my claim in this environment but I make no claims that this would hold true for every environment :). Wes Hardaker, of Sparta, did a study of SNMP performance over UDP vs TCP. In a well-behaved network SNMP over TCP did better; as the network quality degraded to more than 40% loss for short messages or ~ 30% for longer SNMP sessions, UDP actually worked better as a transport as TCP would give up altogether. There are many studies that have conflicting results in this area. Wes Hardaker - SNMP performance - TCP vs UDP http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/72/slides/opsarea-2.pdf SNMP over SSH http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/67/slides/isms-3.pdf Cons ======================================= * Security - have to carefully define network and host-based ACLs * Security - have to carefully define agent ACLs * Security - have to keep up with advisories * Performance - longer SNMP sessions (like pulling process tables or partition tables ) can time out even on pretty well-behaved networks. Most agents provde SNMP extensions that move the utilization checking to the agent side so that a check just retuns cooked utilization values * Development time - SNMP-based checks do take longer to create as there is an explicit contract with MIBs and OIDs that should be defined to communicate what a check does. We have an extention framework for Net-SNMP that make implementing a new SNMP check as easy as writing a perl module that returns a list or list of lists. Net-SNMP does have a number of methods that make writing SNMP extensions easier, but certainly none are as simple as NRPE. We use SNMP for our 'send a check from anywhere to Nagios' wrapper script. We have implemented the nSvcEvent and nHostEvent trap definitions in this script and we have filter code for the two traps in SNMPTT; this is a much lighter weight way to send an asynchronous event to Nagios than it would be to initiate a TCP session for every fault message with NSCA. I like NSCA and we use it too, so I am not knocking it. Our user audience is a mix of developers and SAs; we find that most SAs prefer NRPE for simplicity and that our developers are comfortable with either. Both communities like our SNMP trap sender wrapper, which functions as both a CLI script and as a perl module. I make no claim SNMP is better than NRPE nor NSCA, all 3 are excellent choices depending on the politics at an organization, security requirements, and network conditions. I do get annoyed at people who just throw out that SNMP is not a good choice without supporting evidence. it can be a fine choice, it is the only choice with many HW appliances. It can be used effectively and securely and it works fine in conjunction with other protocols. - Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

With SNMP v3, you can use authentication and encryption. It seems to me that SNMP v3 is not even in the running due to performance concerns; pretty much everybody in this discussion seems to have agreed on that point (and for me also, because of a lack of support by vendors; Microsoft, in particular). > I'm not saying SNMP is a good solution but provides all security > needed. > > Finally, SSH is cloud be the best way to execute remote plugins. Personally, I'm not sure if there is a single "best way". That is why I keep promoting separating the protocol from the transport. Basically, Nagios protocol data fits into Layer 6 or 7 of the OSI model, while the encryption and authentication really should be handled by layer 4 or 5. SSH really is a good way, but in many scenarios HTTPS may be even better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Basically, Nagios protocol data fits into Layer 6 or 7 of the OSI model, while the encryption and authentication really should be handled by layer 4 or 5. We have written in addtion to our other agents an HTTP-based agent that uses either RESTful or non RESTful style URLs for requests. Creating an HTTP RESTful style interface spec would be a pretty clean way to define a standard without getting into implementation discussions and would provide a common ground for plugins. As with SNMP or SSH HTTP comes with a performance price but more and more with Nagios I am seeing (because it is so flexible) that defining standards for a user group / org that uses Nagios is much harder than performance tuning is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

The NRPE and NSClient++ ports need to be open on the client machines - not on the Core server .

Likewise, usually the Nagios server will query the NSClient++ agent either using the same nrpe protocol or using the check_nt protocol in which case you also shouldn't need to open a specific port. However, if you have configure NSClient++ to send check results to Nagios using the NSCA protocol, you will need to configure the nsca daemon on your Nagios server to receive these checks and forward them to Nagios. The port the nsca daemon listens on is configurable - by default it's port 5667. Another problem I have seen in the past with RedHat variants of Linux is that SELinux can be a right pain to configure to get things like nsca working. I used to disable SELinux, but now I tend to use Debian derived versions of Linux rather then RedHat so don't see this problem. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

I am trying to gauge community interest in two features I'm considering adding: 1. Push notification on host and/or service status change. 2. Support for multiple nagios instances. Push notification would require the installation of a push notification proxy that would send outbound packets to an APNS (Apple Push Notification) Server, which would then deliver the notifications to your device. The advantage of push over SMS is (1) it is free, and (2), the push message will lead you directly into the Brooklyn for Nagios app to the host or service with the problem where you can ameliorate the issue quickly without having to find the host or service using the Web UI. Both of these constitute major changes, so I'd be glad to get some community feedback on priority. Thanks much, Daniel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

What you must remember and is clearly stated in the docs is that the definitions of the remote server has to also be on the central server - they do not however need to be a duplicate on the remote server , that being said , the Parnet/child relation ship can and should be defined on the central server for the whole network , BB1-->A1 -> hosts . while on each remote host you define the parent/child for only the relevant hosts that the host is checking . so if host A1 id down stream from BB1 - it is not defined on A1 , but on the central server only ( it is also a good idea to have active monitoring of BB1 on the central so it will be able to show real time UP/Unknown statuses ).

Hi Nicole, Can you provide the output of the following command, executed on the monitored host: omreport storage pdisk controller=0 Also, are you using check_openmanage in SNMP or local context?

The syntax for check_cluster is quite subtle and not obvious. I confess I don't use check_cluster for service checks, but I do for host checks. An example which I use for a pair of hosts is: In the command definition: command_line $USER1$/check_cluster --host -l $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -d $ARG4$ And in the host definition: check_command check_host_cluster!"Storage Server"!0!1!$HOSTSTATEID:ds4100y1a$,$HOSTSTATEID:ds4100y1b$ In my example I want to have a warning state if one of the two hosts is down and have a critical state if both are down. The important point to note is that the warning and critical thresholds are set according to the documentation at http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#THRESHOLDFORMAT It can take a while to work out precisely how to set -w and -c to achieve the result you want. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Dubuc) Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:28:56 -0500 Subject: servicegroups directive doesn't seem to work Message-ID: <4B85A828.2070006@paul.dubuc.org> Hello, The documentation at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html for Service Definition says that you can use a 'servicegroups' directive to assign a service to a servicegroup instead of using the 'members' directive in the service group: > *servicegroups*: This directive is used to identify the /short > name(s)/ of the servicegroup(s) > > that the service belongs to. Multiple servicegroups should be > separated by commas. This directive may be used as an alternative to > using the /members/ directive in servicegroup > > definitions. I would like to do this using a service template that service definitions can use to do the assignment like the configuration below. This would save me from having to add many host,service pairs to the members directive in the service group. But it doesn't seem to work (I'm using Nagios 3.2.0). I get the following configuration error: Error: Servicegroup members must be specified in , pairs (config file ' ... I get the same error when I delete the service template and move the servicegroups directive into the service definitions. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Paul Dubuc define servicegroup{ servicegroup_name ebusiness alias Business Services # members ; use servcicegroups in service definitions below instead. } # # Nagios service definition template used by services in this config file # define service{ name ebusiness-service register 0 ; this is a template servicegroups ebusiness ; add the service to this service group } define service{ use ebusiness-service host_name host1,host2 service_description service1 check_command ... } # # SciFinder Password Change test service # define service{ use ebusiness-service host_name host1,host2 service_description service2 check_command ... } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

I'm guessing that these values are completely missing in the SNMP output, which is why perl chokes on it. I've added some robustness in the code that should handle this case properly. Please try the beta version (3.5.7-beta1) available here: http://folk.uio.no/trondham/tmp/check_openmanage-3.5.7-beta1 The plugin will give an alert on the drive, which in my opinion is the correct thing to do. You can always blacklist the drive. The cause of the error is obviously that this is a non-Dell drive, which Openmanage doesn't know how to handle. BTW, you can reduce your command definition to this: check_openmanage -s -C $ARG1$ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -e -i -p -a -o 3 --htmlinfo de The effect will be the same. You probably defined the command a while ago, and there have been some changes to options since then. Cheers, -- Trond H.

Of course you will need to install and configure nsca on your Nagios server and configure a passive service check in Nagios to receive the check results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

When they last ran? If they're still running?
