[Nagios-users] schedule check problem
Hi, I've got a strange problem with the nagios. Recently, for testing purpose we did install nagios server on a intel based pc and now we would like to move the nagios server to an high end machine like HP proliant DL 380. The nagios server on Intel based pc works fine and it was able to monitor all the clients using check_nrpe plugin. I have now installed nagios server, nagios plugins and nrpe on a high end machine and copied all the configuration files from old server to here and then started nagios service. All looks ok except for scheduling checks. The time on nagios server is ahead of the time displayed on the nagios interface for Next Scheduled Check. The Next Scheduled Check for some service shows, Next Scheduled Check: 07-22-2008 09:31:04 Last Check Time:07-22-2008 09:37:53 but the time on nagios server is, Tue Jul 22 09:40:06 GMT 2008 The time is not sync properly and when I refresh the page maually, it shows all services are in green which means all are working ok. but after few seconds when I refresh the same page manually, the services were in red color. tells me the error as , critical CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds then if you refresh later some point, all service will show in green. why does this difference? where do i change the settings so the time on the nagios interface will sync the time with the nagios server? please help me!!!

Nagios reads the time on the server, is your server getting time from an ntp server? On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 10:09 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've got a strange problem with the nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor log file for inactivity?
It all depends on how the application writes to a log file. Simply checking the log file for age or size might not determine if the application is running accurately. I just tested my log file and it updates the time stamp in more or less real time. The check_file_age will probably work perfectly for my needs. There are in fact instances when logging is still working but the application is misbehaving, but at least this will take care of those times when it is completely stuck and not logging at all. Otherwise if it is a remote machine you are going to need to run the plugins using NRPE ( http://www.nagios.org/download/addons/ ) or by SSH ( via plugin check_by_ssh ); for those you are going to need to nagios plugins compiled on the remote machine. I have heard that check_by_ssh can cause a lot of overhead on large networks where there are many checks going on at the same time. Can anyone give some practical numbers here? I have about 160 machines that need to be monitored, most of them will simply have the basic CPU/Disk/Memory monitoring. I would think that on a small network like this it should not be a major problem. For a local check you could use something like the following in your commands.cfg and then add it as a service to your local box: # 'check_file_age' command definition define command{ command_namecheck_file_age command_line$USER1$/check_file_age -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -f $ARG3$ # $ARG3$ is the full path to the log file. Nice. I really appreciate the help. Nagios will soon be replacing the feature-challenged monitoring software we are using now for Linux machines. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
[Nagios-users] Best practice for monitoring virtual machine (OpenVZ)
Hello, We have servers hosting virtual machines (around 10-20 per real server), we are using OpenVZ (a kind of container based VM), we are very satisfied with the VM performance currently. Now, we are planning to add monitoring to each VM as well as the host itself, this come to a problem, because if I install each VM with their own nagios, seems there will be quite a lot of overheads in total.. So I want to ask if anyone here is using nagios with VM and can share about some tricks in deployment?

So I want to ask if anyone here is using nagios with VM and can share about some tricks in deployment? We use Nagios to monitor a number of servers running Xen, and to monitor the Xen VMs. There's no question of installing Nagios in each VM, just as you don't need to install Nagios on each real server you monitor. Instead, you have to install something which can respond to Nagios queries on each VM. We choose to run snmpd on each VM but you can use other methods too. If you instead don't want to run anything on the VMs then you'd be restricted to running some scripts on the hos which tell you the status of the VMs - perhaps somebody already has a plugin to do that.

[Nagios-users] Temporarily changing thresholds of an NRPE driven service check
Good morning. We have a vignette content management server that every night syncs its content to a backup volume for nightly 'snapshot' purposes. This runs about 2 hours. The service check that runs is NRPE driven, and we're using simple NRPE config where the ok, warn, critical values are coded on the target systems nrpe.conf file (we intend to change this when we convert to Nagios version 3).

[Nagios-users] host/service dependencies
Hello I'm trying to figure out a way or logic of service /host dependency . In today's dependency logic - there is no correlation between host failure and the host services , even if the host is down - services are still being checked and reported as critical . there is a need to designate a specific dependency check for services and then it will only learn of the down status . Is there a way to tell nagios that once a server is down - not to check the services assigned to this server ? to me it seems like this define dependency { host_name foo dependent_service_description * execution_failure_criteria d,p,u notification_failure_criteria d,u,p } So once the host is down/unknown/pending , all the services on the server are not checked and do not send alerts . anyone knows on a way to implement it now ? or is such a logic being developed for later versions ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Temporarily changing thresholds of an NRPE driven service check
I believe you're right - you'd have to schedule two checks, each using a custom time period. This can simplified by using the exclude and use directives: define timeperiod{ timeperiod_name vignette_backup sunday 20:00-23:00 monday 20:00-23:00 tuesday 20:00-23:00 wednesday 20:00-23:00 thursday20:00-23:00 friday 20:00-23:00 saturday20:00-23:00 } define timeperiod{ timeperiod_name vignette use 24x7 exclude vignette_backup } The standard check would then have check_period as vignette, while the one you'd like to run during your backup window would use vignette_backup.

[Nagios-users] nagios plugins on 32 bit
I'm trying to build nagios plugins (1.4.12) on several 32 bit hosts (suse 10.1). The configs complete but throw a lot of warnings about 32 vs 64 bit. Running the plug-ins generate segmentation faults. I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH but that didn't make a difference.

Thanks. And yes there was a #! In front as you said. I did say similar just because the OP who was helping me said I would get something similar to #!/usr/bin/perl args-to-perl. My output was similar to that, but not exact. Thanks for the response. I ran the following: sed -i '1s,.*,#!/usr/bin/perl -w,' check_sendmail.pl return: sed: can't read check_sendmail.pl: No such file or directory I been following your Emails on this issue and it looks like this must be some simple mistake somewhere, for example runtime Libexec is not the directory your using, FIlemames mispellings, things missing from the path or some other unkown issue. Try running some normal shell script that just gives a date or pwd to validate the Libexec directory you are copying files to is the one nagios is run from. In the above command was it suppose to be sendmail.pl instead of check_sendmail.pl ? (I am not sure I did not think hard about what the command does) but most of the prior emails mentioned only sendmail.pl while check_ is common prefix of most common nagios plugins. Last in prior posts I noticed the -n in the command has a space between the - and the n is it really there or is it just my email reader? if it is there should it be there? Tony (Author of NC_net) (I actually prefer reading Top posted msg - but I understand Andreas point on Bottom posting or inline posting) Good question Tony. There is no such file called check_sendmail on my system. Other scripts are running fine out of /usr/local/nagios/libexec. I am not sure if perhaps the send_mail.pl script is perhaps looking for the pearl binary in the wrong folder /usr/bin/perl as opposed to /usr/local/bin/perl? I am not at work now but will dig in later tonight. I am a victim of my own lack of Linux experience here I admit, but I'm learning. I have a feeling if any of you were looking at everything I have here it would jump out at you. I'm going to team up with a colleague of mine here who is a good Linux guy and get his input as well. As usual thanks again for your time and expertise. Jon

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE

Im sure we the same, in that we run very minimalistic (kernel tweaking too) software installation / services (namely just http, ssh). But now I have to go write a ruleset all for blocking a port. I was hoping that the allowed_host (which from what I read is tcpwrapped), was good enough. Or am I missing something. Thanks Brent Clark Hi Brent, It doesn't have to be a software firewall. I assume if you're running public-facing services, your servers are firewalled in some way, be it hardware, software or router-based? If not then you've got a bigger worry than NRPE being compromised. And if you are, well where's the harm in adding another rule to it? allowed_host does do the job, but it rejects the connection after it hits NRPE (i.e. it's rejected from within NRPE.) The firewall adds an extra layer of security, and prevents connection attempts from even reaching NRPE. I don't believe NRPE is by default tcpwrapped, see here: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=101.

Would have special signifigance to the loader at the beginning of the file. They indicate the program that will interpret the script. So when the loader sees it it then looks for the /usr/bin/perl program and execs it with the -w command and the script path so that it will interpret the script. If /usr/bin/perl does not exist you will have problems. To verify the existence of it just ls /usr/bin/perl. Most systems have it there, but a few do not, instead they keep it in /usr/local/bin/ so you might need to change that line to #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w instead. But only if it is in that location, if it isn't you will need to find it.

Can anyone give some practical numbers here? I have about 160 machines that need to be monitored, most of them will simply have the basic CPU/Disk/Memory monitoring. I would think that on a small network like this it should not be a major problem. You should no problem if you are running on decent hardware since don't have that many hosts and only a few services will be checked with SSH. NRPE is definitely the preferred method for running remote checks. With each SSH check you are creating a new tunnel, logging onto a remote machine as the user you setup, running the command, waiting for output, and closing the connection. Plus you are normally creating a public ssh key that allows for password-less log on. You can see where there are both performance and security concerns. Check_by_ssh will work fine but I would at least take a took at NRPE. The difference in setting it up may be smaller than you think since you will have to touch each machine to install the plugins no matter what you decide. Nice. I really appreciate the help. Nagios will soon be replacing the feature-challenged monitoring software we are using now for Linux machines.

Recently, for testing purpose we did install nagios server on a intel based pc and now we would like to move the nagios server to an high end machine like HP proliant DL 380. The nagios server on Intel based pc works fine and it was able to monitor all the clients using check_nrpe plugin. I have now installed nagios server, nagios plugins and nrpe on a high end machine and copied all the configuration files from old server to here and then started nagios service. All looks ok except for scheduling checks. The time on nagios server is ahead of the time displayed on the nagios interface for Next Scheduled Check. The Next Scheduled Check for some service shows, Next Scheduled Check: 07-22-2008 09:31:04 Last Check Time:07-22-2008 09:37:53 but the time on nagios server is, Tue Jul 22 09:40:06 GMT 2008 The time is not sync properly and when I refresh the page maually, it shows all services are in green which means all are working ok. but after few seconds when I refresh the same page manually, the services were in red color. tells me the error as , critical CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds then if you refresh later some point, all service will show in green. why does this difference? where do i change the settings so the time on the nagios interface will sync the time with the nagios server? First of all please do not cross-post. Many people read both lists anyways, so cross-posting just pollute their inbox. The time in the web interface it the time of the server. Make sure to regularly sync the server time or run a properly configured local ntp daemon to keep time sync. The issue about having all service ok, than all red is very strange... Are you sure you don't have an IP conflict on that your old new servers, or a DNS record returning the IP of both servers? The NRPE socket timeout after 10 seconds could be the conlfiguration on the clients - since there's no authentication in NRPE it could be that they're only accepting connections from the old server.

That's all we can say based on the information you've given. Please post the service{} and command{} definitions as well as the plugin output if you need further help. More, i don't receive a mail nofitication Is it configured correctly (i.e. rtfm)? There's much documentation on Notifications. What happens? You tell us. That'll help us answer your questions.

The issue about having all service ok, than all red is very strange... I would suspect multiple nagios daemons running at the same time in a case like this.

I do not think you want to go there. It seems you have a hard time finding information on your own but overwelm the mailinglist with questions that do not show the commitment to take any actions on your own. Please read the instruction on asking question on mailinglists the smart way unless it is your intention to be ignored: http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html It might also help to see that someone posted their public key to the public key servers if they insist on signing their messages. At this point I think some of us might want to be convinced we are not asked to do your homework but you are in fact a bonafide nagios user and not a student who is incapable to complete a simple assignment. It's not that we do not want to help someone but with Nagios it is mandatory to read the manual at least once cover to cover. Then you should have seen at least everything and you should be able to ask specific questions. I think you are currently unaware of the impression that you leave on the mailinglist of yourself and how it will impact the way people will respond to you.
