[Nagios-users] pop up windows in status map

2006-02-15 Thread Toto Capuccino
Hi,I found it easy to get ip addresses of my hosts looking in the statusmap inside the popups. But my map get kind of busy and when i move the mouse upon it, it sorts of flaps, blink,so quickly that i can't read anything. Would it possible to arrange map display ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Question: is there any interest in a WMI client for Linux?

2006-02-15 Thread Hans Engelen
Well in terms of need, I have (and I am sure there are others, seen messages to that effect pass the mailing lists on a regular basis) a defenite need to also monitor more then WMI provides and for that matter check_nt does not have either. I am sure there are many such things but these are high on my list right now :
- Monitor file sizes (got a couple of processes that dare write transaction logs that sometimes go up to 2 GB in a matter of days at which point the 2 GB filesize problem on Windows causes the application to die a horrible death)
- Monitor Directory Sizes (not so much for me but saw that pass by on the list a few days ago)- File Age (nc_net has this) to detect hanging processes for example.- Log parser with a read-mark (so it only reads new lines since last check). Mind you not clear on how to work this into Nagios. I mean, I would want to have nagios monitor a log file for say an error like 'ORA-x no active database connection' (or whatever the exact error is) and raise an alert at that point. What I am not sure about is how to then let Nagios know the error has been fixed. I suppose I coul parse the whole log every time and archive logs when I restart the process at which point the ORA-x would no longer be present in the log but the problem is these logs are huge and would probably constitute a huge performance hit if read completely on a regular basis. It's a tricky one.
Either way unless I am mistaken these things are not easily done in WMI if they are even possible at all. But there is no denying that WMI gives you access to a wealth of information. It will be interesting to see how you do it though. Securitywise it seems like a challenge for sure. And performance wise it is not easy either. Count me in though if you want it tested.
Cheers.HansOn 2/14/06, Ron Gage [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Quoting Ryan Wilcox [EMAIL PROTECTED]:snip ron... it is understood that WMI would give users the ability to go way above and beyond the 'check_nt' command... what other capability are you
 interested in building in that 'check_nt' doesn't provide? From a monitoring perspective, what more would you need than WMI?You getdirect access to the perfmon counters and hardware enumeration.You can even
enumerate services and their state via WMI (the Win32_BaseService object).

[Nagios-users] Cgi configuration : possible to set authorized_for_... to all but one user?

2006-02-15 Thread Johan Corsini
Hello everyone,

Up to now, everyone who had an access to my nagios webpages could execute 
commands. So, the cgi.cfg file had things like :
authorized_for_all_service_commands=*

I would like to add a new user who can only see the informations, but could 
not execute any command.  I tried the following :
authorized_for_all_service_commands=*,!new_username

But it did not work.  Do any of you know if there is a way to do this? I would 
like to avoid replacing the all by a list of all my allowed users...

Johan

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor directory size?

2006-02-15 Thread HP Geeza

Hi All,

I am having some difficulty with using nclient++ and was wondering if 
somebody could help??


I have download nslicnet++ (from 
http://nscplus.medin.name/index.php/Main_Page) and installed it on a remote 
windows server.  I then modified the NSC.ini file and added a line:


command[check_cmd]=D:\hello.cmd

I then created a simple .cmd file called hello.cmd which contained the 
following:


@echo off
echo hello world
exit 1

MY QUESTION IS:
what do i need to do/run on the nagios server inorder to run a check against 
hello.cmd for example?

The main part is the return codes

Service Status

Status Description

0

OK

The plugin was able to check the service and it appeared to be functioning
properly

1

Warning

The plugin was able to check the service, but it appeared to be above some
warning threshold or did not appear to be working properly

2

Critical

The plugin detected that either the service was not running or it was above
some critical threshold

3

Unknown

Invalid command line arguments were supplied to the plugin or low-level
failures internal to the plugin (such as unable to fork, or open a tcp
socket) that prevent it from performing the specified operation.
Higher-level errors (such as name resolution errors, socket timeouts, etc)
are outside of the control of plugins and should generally NOT be reported
as UNKNOWN states.

Hopeful this was enough get you closer to a solution. If not I have to 
write

one in the near future so I will send how I went about creating the check.

Thanks,

  Bill

an

 option to do a dir and parse the filesize out of that.

HiEverything is so well documented in nsclient++ doc that i wonder why you prefer asking here. Anyway you should have first the check_nrpe plugin. Then you just have to define command in checkcommands using ./check_nrpe -H hostname -c check_cmd
define command { 
 command_name Hello 
 command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_cmd 
}Please run check_nrpe -h to get the help of the plugin.cheers2006/2/15, HP Geeza [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

Provide more detail. What OS, which version of nagios, what errors do
you get etc.
Your original post is lacking quite a few things we need to be able to help.

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor directory size?

2006-02-15 Thread HP Geeza

Appologies for the numerous emails!!

I noticed that nsclient++ has a checkDisk.dll which you can use to check the 
size of one of more files or directories.  So this sounds like what i need 
to use.but i still dont know how to check this from the nagios server - 
is there another plugin that i need to run on the nagios serverwhat to 
have in the config files???

 nsclient++ has the ability to run batch files via check_nrep. Might be 
an

 option to do a dir and parse the filesize out of that.

Make sure you have proper permissions on the external command file (per
the documentation on External Commands)


Yes


. Make sure that Nagios is set to
check for external commands frequently enough (command_check_interval).
 


every 15 s


Try turning on NSCA debug and watch your messages log file for
interesting output.


just have nsca logs from checks and nsca : handling connection


If you have SELinux enabled, make sure that it's not
interfering with NSCA's ability to write to the external command file;
look for 'avc denied' messages related to the command file in
/var/log/messages.
 


selinux is disable
and in one hour i have 600 nsca process
what can i do

Re: [Nagios-users] monitor directory size?

2006-02-15 Thread HP Geeza

Hi,

thanks for your relpy! - i have read the documentation but im affraid im 
still having trouble with a particular check.


I have compiled and installed the check_nrpe plugin on my nagios box...i 
then edited the following config files:  ive got a host setup


checkcommands.cfg
define command{
   command_namecheck_directory_size
   command_linecheck_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c CheckFileSize
   }

services.cfg
define service{
   use  generic-service ; Name 
of service template to use

   host_name   testServer
   service_description Directory Size
   check_commandcheck_directory_size
   }

NOW i have read the CheckDisk documentation for the nsclient++.  However i 
dont quiet understand how i setup the check in the NSC.ini file.  There is 
an example in the CheckDisk documentation section which has the following 
(this is what i almost need).


EXAMPLE 1:-

Check the size of the windows directory and make sure it stays below 1 
gigabyte:

CheckFileSize ShowAll MaxWarn=1024M MaxCrit=4096M File:WIN=c:\WINDOWS\*.*
WARNING: WIN: 2G (2325339822B)|WIN=2325339822;1073741824;4294967296

define command {
   command_name CheckFileSize
   command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c CheckFileSize -a 
ShowAll MaxWarn=$ARG1$ MaxCrit=$ARG2$ File:$ARG4$=$ARG5$

}

   check_command CheckFileSize!1024M!4096M!WIN!c:\WINDOWS\*.*


I am abit puzzled on what i need to enter in the NSC.ini file.
I have a directory on the 'd' drive called ghosti would like to monitor 
the size of this directory and raise an alert when it reaches say 200GB.


Could you please help me edit the NSC.ini file and perform this check???

your help will be much appreciated

Hi

Everything is so well documented in nsclient++ doc that i wonder why you
prefer asking here. Anyway you should have first the check_nrpe plugin. 
Then

you just have to define command in checkcommands using ./check_nrpe -H
hostname -c check_cmd

define command {

command_name Hello

command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_cmd

}
Please run check_nrpe -h to get the help of the plugin.

Examine the install targets that are displayed after compile finishes
and use the one you're lacking. A totally arbitrary guess would be 'make

messages. Syslog is working, and in the nagios.cfg file, nagios.cfg:use_syslog=1
I used to see all the check messages, etc. Nothing in the configuration has changed
to the best of my knowledge. 



2)
Nagios appears to hang on the remote
sensor. Once I receive notifications that network devices are down, I never see
a recovery of the network devices, even though they are recovered. The work
around is to restart nagios with service nagios restart.
Sometimes, this takes multiple tries. 



3)
When I have a massive network outage, I receive the
appropriate alerts but I receive multiple PROBLEM notifications. Im
only using service checks (Im only using check_ping currently) and the notification_interval
set to 0, which according to the documentation should limit the amount
of messages Im receiving to 1, unless Im using the
service escalations, which I am not at this time. I am not receiving multiple
notifications for OK messages, which is what I would expect.

I thought of something else, something that

[Nagios-users] I: NSClient++ configuration problems

2006-02-15 Thread Marco Borsani

Hi folks !

I am testing NSClient++ on my XP.
Nagios servers are 1.1 and 2.0, with 1.3.1 plugins.

I try to perform a simple:
./check_nt -H 10.x.x.x -v CLIENTVERSION
but I receive a :
Socket timeout after 10 seconds

I attach NSC.ini file.
Any idea?

 Here are a couple of samples of my hosts/services from the sensor:
 

[chop]

 define  service {
 hostgroup_name  Company_Switches
 service_description check_ping
 is_volatile 1
 check_command   check_ping!150.0,20%!200.0,60%

 Hosts/Services from the Central Server:

[chop]

 
 define  service {
 hostgroup_name  Company_Switches
 service_description check_ping
 is_volatile 1
 check_command   check_stale
[chop]

You normally do not want to use 'is_volatile' for passive service
checks. They should only be used for services that automatically reset
themselves to an OK state after being checked and you wish to be
notified _every_ time they're checked and not OK. This would account for
your multiple notifications.

 http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/volatileservices.html

Volatile services differ from normal services in three important ways.
Each time they are checked when they are in a hard non-OK state, and the
check returns a non-OK state (i.e. no state change has occurred)...

* the non-OK service state is logged
* contacts are notified about the problem (if that's what should be
done)
* the event handler for the service is run (if one has been defined)


These events normally only occur for services when they are in a non-OK
state and a hard state change has just occurred. In other words, they
only happen the first time that a service goes into a non-OK state. If
future checks of the service result in the same non-OK state, no hard
state change occurs and none of the events mentioned take place again.

Hi

Everything is so well documented in nsclient++ doc that i wonder why you
prefer asking here. Anyway you should have first the check_nrpe plugin. 
Then

you just have to define command in checkcommands using ./check_nrpe -H
hostname -c check_cmd

define command {

command_name Hello

command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_cmd

}
Please run check_nrpe -h to get the help of the plugin.

 somebody could help??

 I have download nslicnet++ (from

 remote
 windows server.  I then modified the NSC.ini file and added a line:

 @echo off
 echo hello world
 exit 1

Thanks for the is_volatile tip. 

As for the NSCA, I found further information:

on host '2950-34' timed out after 5 seconds


This has the appearance that send_nsca is getting timed out. I don't see
the connection ending up on the remote side.

I wonder if this some type of weird NAT issue going on between the two
firewalls. Although, I do see other NSCA traffic working just fine from
the same server.

Thanks!

 Here are a couple of samples of my hosts/services from the sensor:

 service_description check_ping
 is_volatile 1
 check_command   check_ping!150.0,20%!200.0,60%

You normally do not want to use 'is_volatile' for passive service
checks. They should only be used for services that automatically reset
themselves to an OK state after being checked and you wish to be
notified _every_ time they're checked and not OK. This would account for
your multiple notifications.

 http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/volatileservices.html

Volatile services differ from normal services in three important ways.
Each time they are checked when they are in a hard non-OK state, and the
check returns a non-OK state (i.e. no state change has occurred)...

* the non-OK service state is logged
* contacts are notified about the problem (if that's what should be
done)
* the event handler for the service is run (if one has been defined)


These events normally only occur for services when they are in a non-OK
state and a hard state change has just occurred. In other words, they
only happen the first time that a service goes into a non-OK state. If
future checks of the service result in the same non-OK state, no hard
state change occurs and none of the events mentioned take place again.

was

   above
   some critical threshold
   
   3
   
   Unknown
   
   Invalid command line arguments were supplied to the plugin or
 low-level
   failures internal to the plugin (such as unable to fork, or open a
 tcp
   socket) that prevent it from performing the specified operation.
   Higher-level errors (such as name resolution errors, socket 
timeouts,

   etc)
   are outside of the control of plugins and should generally NOT be
   reported
   as UNKNOWN states.
   
   Hopeful this was enough get you closer to a solution. If not I have
 to
   write
   one in the near future so I will send how I went about creating the
   check.

 nsclient++ has the ability to run batch files via check_nrep.
 Might
   be
   an
 option to do a dir and parse the filesize out of that.

[Nagios-users] Passive Monitoring Issue

2006-02-15 Thread Dehnert James Sr
I recently converted both of my Nagios systems to Nagios 2.0 and  
changed my configuration to use distributed monitoring.  My remote  
system send status vis ncsa to my local system, and my local system  
monitors the remote hosts with passive checks.


All of this works fine, except for one host.  This host is only  
monitored via the standard check-host-alive.  The hosts bounces  
between OK and CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds, but  
even when the status is listed as critical, the ping sometimes shows  
as OK.


None of the other passive checks exhibit this behavior, and if I look  
at the remote Nagios system (it still is running it's web interface  
for now) this host always listed as up and available.


Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before?  Is so, what hoops do I  
need to jump through to resolve this?


 Thanks,
Zeke

i can do it as any user and it works. and the ns1 http check is working

2006-02-15 Thread Lori Adams
Check your host config for mail.myvest.com.  Also when you do 
check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$
it's expecting the IP Address of the host that you gave in the host
config.

No. The config options and macros have changed. You'll want to stand
up a temporary nagios server/install  to migrate configs to 2.0, and
then change over.

[Nagios-users] Adding hosts and services to nagios

Title: Adding hosts and services to nagios






Hi All,

I have just installed the nagios 2.0b5 with plugin 1.4.2. It looks like it has been configured correctly as because I am able to see some information regarding the localhost. I am very new to nagios, I am not aware of the steps to add the hosts and services. Now I just want to monitor few servers. I would appreciate if any body could help me out to get my purpose solved. Basically I want the information, how the hosts and services can be added to nagios for monitoring the required services of servers? 

Thank you very much in advance.
