WRONG STATUS

[grace ingabire]

I have monitored 2 different devices (router) by doing a long ping every
hour from the nagios device and these are the results:

 

66.178.xx.xx ping statistics ---

3583 packets transmitted, 3388 packets received, 5% packet loss

Round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 7.090/14.329/393.682/26.555 ms

 

66.178.xx.xx ping statistics ---

3437 packets transmitted, 3148 packets received, 8% packet loss

Round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 7.011/13.951/390.415/25.797 ms  

 

>From here, avg: 14ms and 6% 

What would you advise me to set in check_command : check_ping parameter as
warning and critical

 

 

 

196.12.yy.yy ping statistics ---

3450 packets transmitted, 3450 packets received, 0% packet loss

Round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.435/1.263/68.112/3.254 ms

 

196.12.yy.yy ping statistics ---

3597 packets transmitted, 3597 packets received, 0% packet loss

Round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.447/1.264/28.073/2.470 ms

Avg: 1ms and 0% packet loss

What should be set in the check_command :check_ping!xx.x%!x,x%

nagiosVersion 2.0 

 FreeBSD 6.0 

plugin version 1.4

Thanks

What about the DOWN STATUS that I'm receiving although the device is up.

 

 

define service{

use                             generic-service         ; Name of service
template to use

        host_name                       cisco_xxxx

        service_description             PING

        is_volatile                     0

        check_period                    24x7

        max_check_attempts              6

        normal_check_interval           2

        retry_check_interval            1

        contact_groups                  cpl

        notification_options            w,u,c,r

        notification_interval           120  

        notification_period             24x7

        check_command                   check_ping!30.0,1%!60.0,10%

I' m using nagiosVersion 2.0 , on FreeBSD 6.0 , plugin version 1.4

 

I HAVE CHANGED THE CONFIG AS REQUESTED BUT I'M STILL GETTING THE DOWN STATUS
ON THE DEVICE.

CAN I HAVE MORE DETAILS ON THE: check_command: check_ping!30.0,1%!60.0,10% 

For what I know 30 stands for the response time in milliseconds for nagios
to deliver a warning status and 1 is the packet loss.

60ms is the critical status.           

 

define service{

        use                             generic-service         ; Name of
service template to use

        host_name                       cisco_xxxx

        service_description             PING

        is_volatile                     0

        check_period                    24x7

        max_check_attempts              6

        normal_check_interval           2

        retry_check_interval            1

        contact_groups                  cpl

        notification_options            w,u,c,r

        notification_interval           120

        notification_period             24x7

        check_command                   check_ping!30.0,1%!60.0,10%

 

Thanks.

Your command definition as it stands will return a warning status if your
host responds outside of 30ms or there is => 1% packet loss. It will return
a critical status if the host takes longer than 60ms to respond or there is
=>10% packet loss. 

Rob


Well from your service definition, I am assuming that the device is taking
longer than 60ms to respond or there is greater than 10% packet loss between
your Nagios Host and the router. What does running 

ping <ip_address_of_router>

show you from the command line of your Nagios Host?

Rob
