One of the boxes had an issue with NSClient that involved a memory leak that consistently brought the server down after approximately 2 days. We believe the issue stemmed from an error message that is generated every ~ 70 seconds. I updated the client to NSClient++ in hopes that this would fix the issue, but it appears that the issue remains. The monitoring still works (which proves we have two way communication), but the error is created nonetheless. The log file reports this error approximately every 70 seconds: 2007-08-02 15:05:12: debug:.\PDHCollector.cpp:101: Detected language: English US (0x0409) 2007-08-02 15:05:12: debug:.\NSClient++.cpp:305: Loading plugin: NRPE server... 2007-08-02 15:05:12: error:.\PDHCollector.cpp:119: Attempting to open counter... 2007-08-02 15:05:12: error:.\PDHCollector.cpp:122: Counters opend... 2007-08-02 15:05:12: debug:.\NSClient++.cpp:305: Loading plugin: NSClient server... 2007-08-02 15:05:12: debug:c:\source\nscp\trunk\include\Socket.h:515: Bound to: <a href="http://0.0.0.0:1248">0.0.0.0:1248</a> 2007-08-02 15:05:12: debug:c:\source\nscp\trunk\include\Socket.h:515: Bound to: <a href="http://0.0.0.0:5666">0.0.0.0:5666</a> 2007-08-02 15:05:12: debug:c:\source\nscp\trunk\include\Socket.h:521: Socket ready... 2007-08-02 15:05:12: debug:c:\source\nscp\trunk\include\Socket.h:521: Socket ready... 2007-08-02 15:05:36: debug:.\NSClientListener.cpp:141: Data: GIOP 2007-08-02 15:05:36: error:.\NSClientListener.cpp:155: Invalid password (GIOP 2007-08-02 15:06:45: debug:.\NSClientListener.cpp:141: Data: GIOP 2007-08-02 15:06:45: error:.\NSClientListener.cpp:155: Invalid password (GIOP The NSClientListener is reporting an invalid password, but we do not have a password set in our cfg file and we are not passing it from the Nagios server.

Many of the services will be accurate however some services will lag behind by several hours or even a day. However if I click on the service that has the incorrect time stamp and go to the details for that service I see that the last check time is wrong but the last update time is correct. Also I submit all the results on this server to another server with nsca, and the time stamp on the passive or central server might be more up to date than the time stamp on the sever doing the active check. However many of the time stamps still lag behind by an hour or more on the central server, even though they are sometimes ahead of the distributed servers checks. Again the last update time on the service status page seem to be accurate to with n 5 minutes. I have all checks set to 5 minute time frames so it seems to me that the Last Check time stamp should always be with in the last 5 minutes. Watching the logs has convinced me that the checks are actually happening and getting sent to the central server in the 5 minute time frame. Has anyone experienced this before? Anyone know why this happens? -- -- Brady Maxwell -- Biter of Dogs Ears Systems Administrator Garbage Man Bouncer Paratrooper -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2007 14:42:31 -0500 From: "Marc Powell" <<a href="mailto:marc@ena.com">marc@ena.com</a>> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] check_mysql -S isn't working {Disarmed} {Fraud?} To: <<a href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a>> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:A7B0A9F02975A74A845FE85D0B95B8FA08276B02@misex01.ena.com">A7B0A9F02975A74A845FE85D0B95B8FA08276B02@misex01.ena.com </a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > -----Original Message----- > From: <a href="mailto:nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net </a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:nagios-users-">nagios-users-</a> > <a href="mailto:bounces@lists.sourceforge.net">bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</a>] On Behalf Of alexus > Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 2:24 PM > To: <a href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> > Subject: [Nagios-users] check_mysql -S isn't working {Disarmed} {Fraud?} > > # ./check_mysql -H 10.52.208.9910. <<a href="http://10.52.208.99">http://10.52.208.99</a>> -u xxxx -p > xxxxxxxxx -S > Slave IO: Yes Slave SQL: No Seconds Behind Master: (null) > # > > how come I get "null" in "No Seconds Behind Master? > anyone? Ok. I'll bite on the second time around... My GUESS- The Seconds_Behind_Master column of the of the mysql command 'show slave status' has the value 'null' or is empty. Connect to mysql, issue the 'show slave status;' command and verify if that's the case. Alternately, the version of mysql that you are using, whatever it is, changed that column such that the plugin can no longer parse it.

It won't require you to download anything, to install anything, or to purchase anything. The details on the plugin thus far can be found at: <a href="http://plato/nagios/index.html">http://plato/nagios/index.html</a> Really what I'm looking for is feedback on the overall design. Certain decisions had to be made with what constitutes a host check versus a service check or a host event handler versus a service one. Likewise, when a corrective action is taken is fairly subjective too. E.g., HARD only? Soft but after 3 attempts? I'm looking for help with a few of the following: 1) The password to the WebReboot Enterprise has to be stored somewhere. How would you like to see this done? For simplicity, it's specified as a command argument right now. Obviously, anyone with permissions to open your host and service configs can see it. One suggestion had been to push this off into a plugin configuration file and restrict access to that. 2) How would you like to see when plugins perform actions? Should it be configurable, yielding flexibility at the expense of usability? Should it just be hard-coded with notes on how to change it (it's ASL-licensed Python code, so not too hard)? 3) Event handlers are currently non-blocking. That is, if you choose to power on a host, the event handler issues the command to the WebReboot Enterprise and then returns control to Nagios. The WebReboot Enterprise then takes care of powering on the host. This means the script may return in seconds while it may take orders of magnitude longer for the host to power up. The consequence of this is that if your max attempts is too low or timing is too tight, host checks may continue to execute while the host is powering up and could put it into an erroneous HARD DOWN state. How should this be handled? Documentation for the user on changing timing & attempt values? Or should the event handler insert a configurable artificial delay? The downside of the latter being that it requires fine tuning for each host, as some boot to the OS quickly while others do not. Anyway, any help this list could provide would be great.

That won't check for errors in your cgi.cfg, which sounds like it's not configured correctly. 2. Yep, that matches up with a borked cgi.cfg, too. 3. Check your cgi.cfg file. :) Also, make sure that those config files have proper permissions for your webserver user to read them. ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

We've got a single Nagios server with the following stats 2 x Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz CPUs (hyperthreaded) 3.6Gb of memory Red Hat AS 3 Linux Nagios 2.9 Host Checks: 451 Service Checks: 2358 Average OS load level: 3 Service Check Execution Time (min/max/avg): 0.03 sec 30.04 sec 0.500 sec Service Check Latency (min/max/avg): 0.01 sec 33.67 sec 5.516 sec Host Check Execution Time: 0.00 sec 26.78 sec 0.722 sec Host Check Latency: 0.00 sec 3.68 sec 0.008 sec This box is almost exclusively doing active service checks. It is almost dedicated to Nagios (it does a couple of other things, all very low-volume). This server has grown considerably over time to encompass quite a lot more Nagios activity than it had when I took over Nagios admin. Now it seems active enough to start planning on scaling it somehow. While there will definitely be growth, I'm not really sure how I should break this architecture out. Our Nagios growth is a bit unpredictable as people ask us to monitor their stuff, but I might guess it at 20% per year. I assume I'd want to start looking at the distributed models for Nagios. My problem is that I feel like any architecture I try to plan out is really just a guess for this load (and predicted future load). Can anyone suggest where I should go from here in terms of planning out a Nagios-for-the-future architecture? How many hosts, for example? We looked at possibly going VM with Nagios, but it appears that at least with this configuration, Nagios is taking up too many resources. We could probably scale out with VM's, but I imagine we'd need more VM's (hosts) than we'd need with physical boxes. Any help is greatly appreciated.
