Currently it takes about 5 minutes to receive mail notificatin from nagios.
I would like to receive mail after 1 minute .
Is the parameter for accomplishing this located in the main nagios.cfg ?
Is it the command_check_interval ? If not which parameter controls email
notification response?
-merci beaucoup

Hello Mark,
seeing that noone answered you I'll try to give you some directions :)
Does Nagios have the correct permissions to access the modem? Does
sms=5Fclient work from the command-line (try as nagios user, not=20 root!).
I am not familiar with sms=5Fclient, but I somehow miss the number in your =
config.
Does sms=5Fclient have its own addressbook?

Subject: [Nagios-users] hosts dependancies not working
Hi,
I'm trying to set up host dependencies for a couple of of hosts behind
routers/firewalls. define hostdependency{
hostgroup_name test
dependent_host_name router1,fw,router2
notification_failure_criteria d,u,o
}
The group test contains 2 hosts behind a router. To test the dependency I
created a iptables rule that first rejects icmp packets from router1 and
later, when router1 is down, rejects packets from hosts in the hostgroup.
The dependeny is also displayed in the cgi interface (view config).
The logfile shows the following:
HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco=
nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;3;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after
10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;4;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out
after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;5;CRITICAL - Plugin timed
out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;6;CRITICAL - Plugin
timed out after 10 seco= nds HOST ALERT: router1;DOWN;SOFT;7;CRITICAL -

router1;DOWN;HARD;9;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seco= nds SERVICE
ALERT: router1;PING;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds Ok, the dependent host is down. Now I started blocking icmp packets
from the client test1 behinde router1: HOST ALERT:
test1;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 second= s HOST ALERT:
test1;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 second= s HOST ALERT:

secondsSERVICE ALERT: test1;PING;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CRITI= CAL - Plugin timed

No host notifications should be sent out, or am I wrong? Any ideas what I
might be doing wrong?
One more question. I'm using o as Option for notification_failure_criteria.
Is that necessary to supress recovery notifications, or is d,u sufficient?
Thanks, Ralf

Hello Ralf,
why are you using host dependencies in the first place?
You should use parent relationships for such an environment.

Hi,
first of all, I found my mistake.
I confused dependent_host_name with host_name! Changing the entries for both
options did the trick. Stupid me!
> why are you using host dependencies in the first place?
> You should use parent relationships for such an environment. t.
Well, I think hostdependencies are more flexible, but I might be wrong. I
have to confess that I dicovered the parent option after trying
dependencies. Is the parent options a solution for hosts that depend on a
lot of routers/firewalls? Something like that?

Subject: [Nagios-users] $HOSTADDRESS$ in notes_url in hostextinfo
Hi,
I have a problem using the macro $HOSTADDRESS$ in the hostextinfo
configuration with Nagios 1.2 (on SuSE Linux 9.1).
I wanted to use the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro as a part of the notes_url, in order
to connect to the monitored machine via VNC. My Problem now is, that the
macro does not contain the IP address as expected, but the IP-Address
devided with %2e instead of normal dods.
When I put the mouse over the link the information in the status bar of the
browser looks right, but when I follow the link (click) the address in the
address-bar of the new opened window contains "%2e"s instead of normal dods.
This ofcourse can also be seen in the generated HTML-Code of the status.cgi.
My configuration of hostextinfo looks like the following:
define hostextinfo{
host_name prince
notes_url http://192.168.10.18:5800
icon_image windows_pc.gif
icon_image_alt Silke's Rechner
vrml_image windows_pc.gif
statusmap_image windows_pc.gd2
2d_coords 140,90
3d_coords 180.0,90.0,40.0
}
define hostextinfo{
host_name mogli
notes_url http://$HOSTADDRESS$:5800
icon_image ids_server.gif
icon_image_alt Arbeitsplatz und Nagiostestrechner
vrml_image ids_server.gif
statusmap_image ids_server.gd2
2d_coords 80,90
3d_coords 100.0,40.0,20.0
}
The upper one works well, because its hard coded (doesn't contain the
macro). The lower one instead has the effect described above.
upper hostextinfo link: http://192.168.10.18:5800/
lower hostextinfo link: http://192%2e168%2e10%2e12:5800/
I searched the documentation and mailinglist archieves for info about this
issue, but did not find any. So I don't know, if this is a bug or not.
Thanks in advance!
regards
Florian Beese

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_command in Nagios 1.2
Hi,
I am having issues with check_command in hosts specifications. I have
actually used sample configuration files and checked the configs on the demo
site, but still no luck. I tried getting some help from the IRC channel but
RTFM was the answer. I figure that even if I read the manual for ten times I
will barely become smarter. All other plugins and commands specifications
work fine, but hosts check_command doesn't seem to work for me at all and I
get PENDING status with not enough information. I tried various debug levels
but don't seem to see from them that Nagios actually tries running that
check_command. Any other place except for the sources I have to look?
Thanks in advance.

Can you post at least one host definition here? And please post the
definition of the host check command too!

No firewalls on internal network at all.

Can you post at least one host definition here? And please post the
definition of the host check command too!

Do you have any service definitions for this host? The host will never be
checked and will remain in a PENDING state if you do not have any services
defined (that actually get checked themselves). Additionally, the host won't
actually be checked and will only be assumed to be OK until one or more
services on the host fails. It sounds to me like you don't have any services
being checked on the host at this point.
Additionally, a host check of 20 probably isn't a good idea. If the host
_were_ to be checked, nagios will stop all processing except for this host
check until all 20 attempts have completed. No additional service checks,
updates, event handlers, etc will run until this completes. You should only
perform the minimal number of pings/attempts to determine the state of the
host. In many cases a single ping is sufficient or just a handful if you
have a lossy network.

Thanks for advice.
I just have noticed going through the sources that check_host is actually
called from verify_host_"path" (whatever) when service status changes. And
everything you said sounds perfectly understandable. So, you to check if the
host is alive I need to have some kind of ping service, and both service and
host status will change (just confirming my findings), because that
"Assuming ..." was rather confusing.
Thanks for clearing things out for me.

Yes, if your host provides no other services that are interesting to you
(i.e. a router or switch) you'll want to add a ping service check for it.

They might be more flexible, but they are not meant to be used that way
actually. Only the use of the parent option ensures that network outages are
detected properly by Nagios.

Using the parent option enables you to rebuild your actual network=20

Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] check_command in Nagios 1.2
Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 11:16:22 -0500
This is what is confusing in the FAQ:
Once !!!Nagios checks the status of the host!!! (or of at least one of the
services associated with the host), the host's state and status information
will be changed.
It status status of the host OR service ...
I've seen this as well
Whenever a service check results in a non-OK status level, Nagios will
attempt to check and see if the host that the service is running on is
"alive".
but couldn't understand WHY nagios would make an assumption without checking
the host status (relevant to the hosts without services)given that in some
situation the host status is an important criteria too.
Thanks a lot for help!

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring ports & BGP on Cisco
Greetings to all,
I setup Nagios last week and I have to say that this is awesome. Right now
I'm monitoring a great number of systems and services and everything is
going great. I want to start monitoring my routers for when connections and
BGP sessions bounce.
What is the best way to do this?
I was thinking setting up so my routers trap back to my Nagios server, but
if there is a better way, I'm all for testing it out.
Please let me know!
Thanks,
Tom

Hello
just a suggestion.
put $hostname$ instead of $hostaddress$ and put in /etc/hosts all hosts +
ip's
or in winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file all you hosts + ip's
or also can do dns names. this way it will bypass the ip address problem.

You might try my "deep-ssh" script for monitoring services behind a ton of
firewalls:
http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/deep-ssh.html
Your last ssh in the deep-ssh chain can do a "check_by_ssh", or just run the
final nagios plugin directly, I believe.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Notifications not reaching me
I'm having some trouble understanding the notifications system; it's
probably just a misunderstanding about terminology, but the two sections on
notifications and notification escalations haven't offered any clues as to
why the following service does not escalate:
First, here's the service, and I know it works because I can trigger it from
a command line and it shows up correctly in the nagios web display
define service {
use net-service
host_name f1
service_description Log Output
contact_groups audit-trail
register 0
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
notification_period 24x7
normal_check_interval 2
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_nrpe!check_log
}
"check_log" is a simple plug-in that tests the mtime on the file, and it's
unimportant here because I have several other services that are giving me
similar notification problems.
here are the escalation rules:
define serviceescalation {
host_name f1
service_description Log Output
first_notification 6
last_notification 9
contact_groups code-blue
notification_interval 0
}
define serviceescalation {
host_name f1
service_description Log Output
first_notification 10
last_notification 19
contact_groups code-yellow
notification_interval 0
}
What I /expect/ to happen is for the normal check interval to be 5 minutes,
so the first 3 checks (15 min) will be under the threshold to trigger the
first notification. On the third failure, 15 minutes, I expect a notice to
the audit-trail, and I get one.
On the /sixth/ interval, ie at 30 minutes, I expect to get one and only one
notice sent to code-blue, and at the 10th, at 50 minutes past the first
detected failure, I expect to see another single notice out to code-yellow.
But what I get (on the Extended display) is this:
Current Status: CRITICAL
Status Information: CRITICAL - File age 10h 48m
Current Attempt: 3/3
State Type: HARD
Last Check Type: ACTIVE
Last Check Time: 12-06-2004 14:51:52
Status Data Age: 0d 0h 1m 12s
Next Scheduled Active Check: 12-06-2004 14:53:52
Latency: < 1 second
Check Duration: < 1 second
Last State Change: 12-06-2004 13:14:23
Current State Duration: 0d 1h 38m 41s
Last Service Notification: 12-06-2004 13:14:23
Current Notification Number: 1
Is This Service Flapping? N/A
Percent State Change: N/A
In Scheduled Downtime? NO
Last Update: 12-06-2004 14:53:03
It's an hour and a half past the last change in state, there's been no
notices and the current notification number is still listed as "1" -- I'm
assuming current notification is the number of notifications that have been
sent, which agrees with observation since there have been no escalations.
Do I have an inappropriate use of the zero notification interval? Is there
something else gone wrong with my configuration? I know that notifications
do work because we have some services where the alerts are sent and no
obvious difference between their definitions.
Also, I'm still attempting to duplicate the result in a test case, but we
had our notifications intervals set to 60, intending only one message per
hour to be sent while the service check interval was only 5 minutes, but
again, instead of an alert after 30 minutes, we received the first alert
after more than 300 minutes.

Hello all,
=20
I'm trying to get nagiosgraph working, and it would appear that nagios = is
supplying unexpected perf data output. I'm using nagios 2.0 (cvs), = and
according to the nagiosgraph debug log, much of the output is just a =
dollar sign ($). I gave nagiostat a go as well, and it logged the exact =
same output, so it's not specific to nagiosgraph; it appears to be a =
nagios issue.
=20
Here is a sample of the nagiosgraph debug log:
=20
Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT info: Input lastcheck:$
Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT info: Input hostname:aceserver

Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT info: Input output:$
Mon Dec 6 13:53:00 2004 INSERT warn: perfdata not recognized
=20
Clearly, some of the output - the "hostname" and "servicedescr" - is =
correct, but the other three fields are not. I compiled with the =
"--with-default-perfdata" option, and have = "process_performance_data=3D1"
set in nagios.cfg . I also enabled = performance data via cmd.cgi in the
nagios web interface, just for good = measure. Still, I am getting only
$'s. I'm missing something, I = suppose, but I have no idea what it is.
Any ideas or suggestions are = welcome!

Subject: [Nagios-users] Compaq Smart Array Drives under Linux
I have had nagios 1.2 working for sometime and only recently added a new
Linux Server running Suse EL 9 with a Compaq Smartarray controller. Running
df shows the following dev entries
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 68974336 3663072 65311264 6% /
tmpfs 647660 8 647652 1% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 98747 6571 87077 8% /boot
But running Nagios from another machine (192.168.101.14) and trying to read
the drive/mnt status on the SuSE server (192.168.101.12) does not return any
values? Is the check_disk plugin only for a local drive? If so, is there
another plugin to monitor non-local drives on another server?

I'm not at all sure I understand your question ...
define service {
use net-service
host_name f1
service_description Log Output
contact_groups audit-trail
...
check_command check_nrpe!check_log
}
isn't this the service description? This is what I edit when I want to
register services and I definately see the check_log script being called in
the NRPE lines of the (Linux) kernel logs.
True, _net-service_ is a template, but I had taken the relevent lines from
/that/ template and inserted them in-line into this service definition so
the specification would be complete. net-service merely extends the default
template with shorter polling values.
Now I'm /really/ confused: if the above is not defining or registering my
service, then how could this service appear on the service detail and
extended information pages with these settings?

Ah ... I see the confusion: I had inadvertently also inserted the "register
0" line from the net-service definition.
Please ignore that line, my bad.

To be completely clear, here's the two definitions, the template and the
service, verbatim without my trying to be clever in merging them
;)
define service {
use generic-service
name net-service
register 0
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
}
define service {
use net-service
host_name f1, f3
service_description Log Output
contact_groups audit-trail
normal_check_interval 2
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_nrpe!check_log
}

This is the only one I've seen:
http://nagios-php.sourceforge.net/
Personally, I'd like to see one in Perl using Template Toolkit, considering
that there are already a handful of Perl modules for reading Nagios
configuration and status files. But, lacking the time and motivation to do
it myself, I can't complain.

Have you had any experience running nagios-php? I was looking through the
project today and it didn't seem very together.
I wanted to know if anyone had used it. What, if any advantages it gave
them.
