[Nagios-users] Data protector plugs
Hi list,I wonder if anyone is aware of plugins that could perform checks on HP Data Protector backup software. I would like to receive a notification if backups have been performed with errors.If no ones exist, i'd like to discuss with initiates developpers the possibility for me to start writing my first plugin, as i seek to learn programming at least one language. Thanks.-- Le bon sens est la chose du monde la mieux partagée.
[Nagios-users] Service definition with * and host-templates
Hey list.
I'm having a slight problem with understanding templates, it seems.
I use a service definition:
## PING
define service{
host_name *,!sv-proxy
use PING
}
where PING is:
## PING Template
define service{
host_name PING
namePING
service_description PING
use generic
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
register0
}
and generic is:
define service{
host_name GENERIC
namegeneric
service_description generic
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups admin
notification_interval 120
notification_period workhours
notification_optionsc,r
register0
}
And have host definitions using templates as well.
## generic template
define host{
host_name generic
alias GenericTemplate
contact_groups admin
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 5
notification_optionsd,u,r
notification_interval 24x7
namegeneric
register0
}
## router template
define host{
use generic
host_name router
alias Template: Router
namerouter
register0
}
And now I keep getting mail notifications telling me:
* Nagios *
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Service: PING
Host: Template: Router
Address: IP
State: CRITICAL
Date/Time: Mon Feb 6 09:44:32 CET 2006
Additional Info:
CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds
I wonder, if the name is just wrong in the notification email, because
the ip is one of the routers I use, or if I really receive a
notification about a register 0 template.
Anyone ?
Thanks, Kai

[Nagios-users] Problems with NRPE
Title: Problems with NRPE Hi, I've got some problems with connecting to NRPE on a remote host. I've got Nagios running, along with the 1.4.2 plugin set and NRPE on the host (Slackware Linux) On the remote client, a Tru64 box, the nrpe daemon runs under inet. Also, the plugins are compiled and installef. But for some reason, NRPE on the host can't reach the nrpe daemon on the client. The message is: Connection refused or timed out I've checked and checked again, but can't find any error. Anyone a good suggestion or hint ? thanks, Andy

Hello, Did you add the nrpe port to the list in the /etc/services file? There should be a line with something like that : nrpe5666/tcp Also, did you check with a netstat -a | grep nrpe if the port is listening?

Title: RE: [Nagios-users] Problems with NRPE Johan, There are some issues when I try to telnet from the nagios host to the remote host. For example, a simple telnet result in 'no route to host', and when pinging the remote host, I get a 'time to live exceeded' from another IP adres, probably a router or firewall.

But basically I want an alert if there is more than one line in this output. I have not run across a plug that would allow for this, does any one know of one that might suffice. BTW, the bmcutils are only installed on a couple of the nodes in the cluster so I need to run the ipmish command on a remote host not the node that I am checking for. Example: host242 is the nagios server and also has the ipmish/bmc utilities installed, and can provide the information for all hosts.

[Nagios-users] nagiosgrapher v1.3 unreliable
Hi, I have been trying to get nagiosgraper v1.3 working reliable. But it is not at all reliable. Some services are updated properly every poll. But some other fail to update sometimes or even fail to update most of the times resulting in graphs with only some snippets. If the service was failing intermittently I might explain the issue but I would go crazy by the alerts if this was the case. The nagios log does not show problem with the services that do not update. Might this be an issue with the named pipe setup? Perhaps a limit on the number of events it can handle? (With 26 hosts and 57 services I would expect this is not the issue.) The log file (ngrap.log) is consistent with the rrd graphs. Nagios is v2.0 RC2 and the nagios log does not show any down issue. I did put some screen shots in http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/Nagios/ How can I establish if Nagios is in fact sending all the performance data? Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

RE: [Nagios-users] nagiosgrapher v1.3 unreliable
While I can't comment on nagiosgrapher specifically, since I don't use it, I would suggest for RRDtool in general you take a look at tuning the RRD heartbeat and step values used in the rrdcreate command. The factor in Nagios that would cause RRD gaps is most likely service check latency. Check latency is (in my experience) amplified by large numbers of host problems (since everything stops while host-checking) Using a heartbeat larger than the step value (2x is safe) will give you headroom in the event that your check latency becomes very large. This should help prevent gaps from appearing in the RRD data. -Original Message- From: Hugo van der Kooij [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 11:07 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] nagiosgrapher v1.3 unreliable Hi, I have been trying to get nagiosgraper v1.3 working reliable. But it is not at all reliable. Some services are updated properly every poll. But some other fail to update sometimes or even fail to update most of the times resulting in graphs with only some snippets. If the service was failing intermittently I might explain the issue but I would go crazy by the alerts if this was the case. The nagios log does not show problem with the services that do not update. Might this be an issue with the named pipe setup? Perhaps a limit on the number of events it can handle? (With 26 hosts and 57 services I would expect this is not the issue.) The log file (ngrap.log) is consistent with the rrd graphs. Nagios is v2.0 RC2 and the nagios log does not show any down issue. I did put some screen shots in http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/Nagios/ How can I establish if Nagios is in fact sending all the performance data? Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

RE: [Nagios-users] RE: Reporting and misc rave.
Stanley Hopcroft wrote: Mr Shipways approach is too process the Nag logs periodically with private/in-house (AFAIK) code to extract the entries of interest and insert them as rows in a table(s). (Incidentally, this sounds very enterprising since the extraction code has to deal with all the cases handled by avail.cgi. The difficulty of extracting outages from the logs is why I chose to use avail.cgi as a source of availability data). My perl script eats the nagios log files (from the archive directory), and copies them straight to a database. It actually filters out just the ones I'm currently interested in - host and service alerts, and host and service downtime. The script also creates all the database tables and so on if necessary. Then, my reporting tool takes care of calculating on a per-host and service basis what the downtime is (much easier using a database). The problem with it is that a particular stretch of downtime may lie partly in scheduled and partly in unscheduled, or the parent host of a service may be down for part of it. This means you cannot flag each event with a 'scheduled/unscheduled' flag. It is possible, though, to calculate event length as you go although the ends of a logfile present a bit of a problem, too. I did think of splitting events up into scheduled/unscheduled portions, but this would give problems when counting events from the log. I'm also putting together some scripts (using Nagios::Config as suggested) which load the current configuration of hosts, services, and hostextinfo into a database, mainly for reading purposes (we have a different tool which maintains the config files). The hostextinfo is a useful one, since I've already modified an existing tool for maintaining the 2d-coords to read/write its data to the mysql database. Once this is a bit more stable and documented, I hope to upload to nagiosexchange. It does bring the question, though, of why Nagios itself does not contain at least mysql database support, and preferably some sort of database plugin for this.

Have you defined it in all upper case, like the NSCA alert is being received? It's case sensitive, remember.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Behaviors
Title: Message This may be rather long, please bare with me. I am currently running Nagios 2.0rc2 with 451 hosts and 1733 services. I've recently upgraded from Netsaint (0.78b I think). During this upgrade I took the time to reexamine my configurations to take advantage of the grouping logic and regular _expression_ features in Nagios. This help make the setup much easier, faster, and more consistent than it ever was under Netsaint. Kudos! All of the following assumes that I'm doing things to the best of my understanding, and if they are incorrect or misguided in some way, I'd be more than happy to discuss the 'correct' way of implementing these features. I'm starting to run into a few operational issues that I'd like to raise. One of the most annoying is that RECOVERY should actually have a state for EACH type of RECOVERY that can exist. That way, I'm not getting RECOVERY notices for WARNINGS that I didn't get in the first place (because I don't care about WARNINGS in most cases.). I should only ever get RECOVERY for states which I've already indicated I want to receive their corresponding original alert from. The other is that HOST level notification/check_periods should be inherited by any service being check on that HOST unless explicitly overridden. For example, I have a host with 10 services on it (checking disk space in various file systems, checking for certain named processes to be running) and it has a HOST level notification_period (maintenance window) from Saturday at 1800 till Sunday 1000. Every week. I don't want to, or need to know about service changes during these times. I'm the user, and I'm requesting a black out of notifications during this time. If there are (still) problems after 1000 on Sunday, I do need to know about them or take action. The best answers I can seem to find seem to be workarounds that will cause me more overall upkeep and/or are counter to the whole idea of using grouping logic to begin with. Creating a separate, non-dynamic cron offshoot to take care of this for me while functional requires me to basically go and define another list of items (and upkeep them) to deal with and is completely external to Nagios. Defining each service individually so that they all can have 1 host assigned to them so they can have different maintenance windows as needed is totally against the grouping logic and allows again for much easier divergence from a set standard. Having 25 linux machines all in a linux host group because I want to check 10 common services rocks. However, not all 25 servers will have the same (or even overlapping) maintenance windows, so creating 25*10 separate service entries instead of just 10 sucks eggs. Maintaining the maintenance window at the host level makes perfect sense to me. Creating more host groups doesn't seem like any better of a solution and will just make things more difficult to find under the Hostgroup sections of the web display. By not understanding something am I trying to use this in a way which it was never intended? This seem like a pretty logical feature to me, of course. Can anyone offer me advice? Thanks!
[Nagios-users] Notifications not coming through
I am running Nagios 2.0b3. About a week and a half ago, notifications stopped going out in email or page. I didn't notice it until Saturday, unfortunately, and I've been changing the .cfg files throughout that time, so I can't be sure what things looked like before versus after. The odd thing is that verification shows no major problems. And it thinks it did send out the notifications. If I go to the notification page, it shows all the alerts that should have been sent, to me and others. So it's not a question of a status I think should trigger a notification and doesn't. It's just that the notification never gets anywhere. If I go to the mail spool, there doesn't seem to be anything waiting. If I look at the mail log, it doesn't show anything being sent from Nagios. Any ideas where I should look for clues? Thanks, JoAnne --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
