If the service check fails, I think Nagios would check the host anyway.
You might like to run a test to confirm this.

I'm not sure. I would probably define the tunnel as a host in its own
right. A 'host' doesn't always have to be a physical box.

The bug, which stops all Nagios monitoring for 24 hours, occurs when
"time moves backwards". This does not happen when "time moves
forward". However, any other timeperiods (such as 09:00-17:00) maybe
incorrect by an hour, which is obviously not as serious. This is true
for Nagios 3.2.0.

If these users should never get anything else than DOWN notifications,
use service_notification_options and host_notification_options in the
contact definition.
You could also do this with escalations, but it sounds like the above
will work for you?

Hi list,
I'm looking for a way to allow users do pretty much everything
of the host and service commands except enabling & disabling them.
I
believe these are
cmd_typ=16 (for all services on the host)
cmd_typ=4
(for the host check)
cmd_typ=6 (for a service check)
There are a couple
of things which come to my mind such as mod_security, or some other
apache
level restricting stuff.
Has anyone experience in setting up something
like this?
It would be helpfull if people see a helpfull message saying,
you're not allowed to execute this command, so they don't think the
application isn't working.
What are your thoughts?

I have chosen to implement this method. I'll monitor it over the course

Hi all,
During my NRPE install on Solaris 10, I ran into the problem that the
SSL
libraries are not visible to the install process. The install process is
looking for it in /usr but in effect there is a link in
/usr/include/openssl
that points to /usr/sfw/include/openssl.
Some products allow you to specify parms when you install, can I do the
same
here to get past this hurdle?

Gezina

Go to your NRPE install directory and run this;
./configure ?with-ssl=<path-to-your-ssl_dir>
?with-ssl-lib=<path-to-your-ssl_lib>
I have also found this link to be quite helpful;

./configure -h will list the options which includes:
--enable-ssl enables native SSL support
--with-ssl=DIR sets location of the SSL installation
--with-ssl-inc=DIR sets location of the SSL include files
--with-ssl-lib=DIR sets location of the SSL libraries
So you should be able to do something like
./configure --enable-ssl --with-ssl-inc=/usr/sfw/include/openssl
--with-ssl-lib=/usr/sfw/lib/openssl

Actually, it's the opposite. He needs to add the nagios user's public
key to the authorized_keys file for each user on the remote machines.
Moving private keys around is a security no-no.

This has no relevance since you're asking about service notifications.
Look for the service definition in question in objects.cache. Verify
that retry_interval is what you expect it to be. If it is, you have
multiple nagios daemons running, escalations defined or some problem
with your MTA not removing messages from queue after delivery.

I expect that you could use htaccess to do this. Completely off the top
of my head and untested but try something like this in the .htaccess
file in the sbin directory --
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(cmd_type=16|cmd_type=4|cmd_type=6) [OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /not_allowed.html [R,L]

Yes. And you can simplify this by running ssh-copy-id as the Nagios
user:
--
nagios at monServ:~$ ssh-copy-id remUser at remHost
remUser at remHost's password:
Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'root at webdb1.int.ia'", and
check in:
.ssh/authorized_keys
to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting.
--
Most Linux systems that I've seen provide this script. Other Unices
may not have it. If it's there, it makes it much faster than manually
copying and pasting public keys.

testing yes, but your answer didn't cover any part of my question at
all other then you suggest to test it..
anyone else actually knows the answer? i was thinking maybe not to
specify timeperiod inside of service and let it take it from host
definition?

Hosts and services are independent of each other; neither has
precedence.
If you specify a timeperiod on your service checks, it applies to your
service checks. If you apply it to your host checks, it applies to your
host checks. They are two different things.

Hey folks,
I am working my way through some more Windows NSClient++
installs, and I've hit a 2003 server that is not happy with
check_openmanage (please forgive the horrible formatting):

This is OMSA version 5.3.0 which I have dozens of, and this is
the first time I've seen this.
This host is a DC, so while I believe it's probably a case of
"uninstall OMSA and re-install OMSA", I'm hoping someone has seen
this before and I can avoid the reboot.
Trond? Anyone?
Thanks much!

I think it simply means it can't get the performance counter. I would
start by looking at the performance utility on the server itself and
check you can see the relevant counter there.
I believe I've seen this problem when performance counters are messed
up one way or another, or one time when the performance counter had an
unusual character in it. I expect you'll find more on the subject in
the forum on the NSClient++ web site.

Message-ID: <loom.20100309T145848-92 at post.gmane.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hi all:
Got Nagios core 3.2.0 on CentOS5. Been trying to get an event handler to
execute
but it will not. My configs;
define service{
use local_service
host_name my_host
service_description NFS Check
check_period 24x7
check_interval 20
max_check_attempts 4
check_command check_nrpe!check_nfs_mounts
event_handler_enabled 1
event_handler
remount-nfs!$SERVICESTATE$!$SERVICESTATETYPE$!$SERVICEATTEMPT$
notification_period 24x7
notification_interval 120
contact_groups colorado
}
define command{
command_name remount-nfs
command_line $USER1$/eventhandlers/remount-nfs
$SERVICESTATE$
$SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$
}
enable_event_handlers=1 in the nagios.cfg file
The script itself is very simple. At CRITICAL/SOFT/3 and CRITCAL/HARD/4
the
script will execute. Running at command line as UID=nagios it runs fine.
sudo is configured and nagios can mount NFS.
The entry in the nagios.log
[1268099555] SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER: my_host;NFS
CHECK;CRITCAL;SOFT;3;remount-nfs!CRITCAL!SOFT!3
I have followed the process through and it will not execute the
remount-nfs
event handler command.
All perms, dir & file, have been checked. Everything else is working as
it
should including the $SERVICE* macros. Just the script is not being
executed.
What is missing?
Many thanks

I've seen XML errors from OpenManage when probing disks with broken
firmware, but this seems to be something else. Do you get the same XML
errors when you run the failing commands manually on the server? If so,
I'm afraid there isn't much check_openmanage can do about it.
A reinstall of OpenManage is probably the next logical step..
