[Nagios-users] Nagios and SELinux issue
Hello list. We're running Nagios 3.0.3 on RHEL 5, and are having an issue with SELinux. A symptom I have noticed it that acknowledging a problem results in the following error: *Error: Could not stat() command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' * We need to keep SELinux active on the server, so I'll have to configure it to allow for Nagios. Does anyone know what needs to be done to do this? Regards, Kenneth Holter -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Re: [Nagios-users] Setting up guest user for nagios
I already added a guest entry in that file, but thansk anyway. Everything seems to be working correctly.

[Nagios-users] Network and machine resource consumption for Nagios
Hi. Is there any resource consumption with regards to network or server/client machines to worry about when running Nagios? We're running active checks, i.e. the Nagios server uses SSH to run plugins on the client side and gather the information. I guessing that the per service per check interval load on the network is a matter of a couple of very small packets travelling between the Nagios server and the Nagios client. And on the client side it is only a matter of running small, simple scripts that causes very little processing overhead. Thus, all in all there shouldn't be much of a overhead to talk about when running Nagios? Of course, it all depends on the check interval and the number of checks, and if anyone knows any nagios check per processing/network capacity ratio please speak up.

H, You have to hit the Selinux docs to help. I usually just disable Selinux.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and SELinux issue
There should be an option in Selinux to allow certain network services run. Try and narrow your search around that area.

[Nagios-users] host port setting
I have machine with NRPE server, where I needed change the port number where the NRPE listens. It's simply allowed in configuration file. But I cannot find out how to set this port number on main Nagios server, which collects information from that remote NRPE server. Is there a configuration directive I overlooked?

Re: [Nagios-users] host port setting
I will advice you configure the nrpe daemon on the remote host to listen on which ever port you choose. After that, restart nagios on the monitoring host and use the plugin in the libexec directory to see if you can still talk to the remote server. To answer your question, I do not know of any directive to change the port number for nrpe on nagios. Perhaps it is harded coded in the plugin, perhaps not, you will only know after testing it.

Re: [Nagios-users] host port setting SOLVED
Viktor Matys napsal(a):
I have machine with NRPE server, where I needed change the port number
where the NRPE listens. It's simply allowed in configuration file. But I
cannot find out how to set this port number on main Nagios server, which
collects information from that remote NRPE server. Is there a
configuration directive I overlooked?
Thank for help
Viktor
Thank to everybody for help. Solution is:
We can put command line parameters in directive address in define
host statement:
# This is a nrpe remote server definition. NRPE is listening on port 5667.
# Tested on Debian Lenny.
define host {
host_namesome_host
host_alias some_alias
*address host.domain.com -p 5667*
}
Thank again :o)
Viktor

Re: [Nagios-users] Nrpe and windows
We are currently setting up a second proxy and are going to split the checks between them.

Some Background: We are currently using check_nrpe to send checks to an nrpe_nt.exe which then runs checks on about 350 windows servers and returns the output to nagios one service at a time, a total of about 1500 checks run this way. The servers are all one-offs and are not part of a ad auth domain. We have have issues like [No output available from command...]: 128 on our nrpe proxy. Rebooting the proxy server seems to fix this issue. According to what I have found via google there is some speculation that nrpe_nt.exe is not letting go of tcp ports it uses. I do not buy it. Since nrpe_nt.exe is not a current project anymore I was thinking maybe its time to find a new solution to check these servers. Is anyone using a similar configuration? Does anyone know of a more current project that can facilitate the same monitoring architecture? Thanks Brady Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and SELinux issue
-Original Message-
Kenneth Holter wrote:
We're running Nagios 3.0.3 on RHEL 5, and are having an issue with
SELinux. A symptom I have noticed it that acknowledging a problem
results in the following error:
/Error: Could not stat() command file
'/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' /
We need to keep SELinux active on the server, so I'll have to
configure
it to allow for Nagios. Does anyone know what needs to be done to do
this?
I kept SELinux in Enforcing mode on CentOS 5.2, so hopefully this will
be similar.
Create a file called mynagios.te, and put this in there:
module mynagios 1.0;
require {
type initrc_tmp_t;
type httpd_sys_script_t;
type usr_t;
type ping_t;
type httpd_t;
type unlabeled_t;
class file execute_no_trans;
class association recvfrom;
class file execute;
class file { read write };
class fifo_file write;
class fifo_file getattr;
}
#= httpd_t ==
allow httpd_t usr_t:file execute_no_trans;
allow httpd_t usr_t:file execute;
#= unlabeled_t ==
allow unlabeled_t self:association recvfrom;
#= httpd_sys_script_t ==
allow httpd_sys_script_t usr_t:fifo_file write;
allow httpd_sys_script_t usr_t:fifo_file getattr;
#= ping_t ==
allow ping_t initrc_tmp_t:file { read write };
To arrive at these settings, I ran Nagios with Enforcing turned on, and
clicked on all the links in the side bar, and tried to do stuff like
send acknowledgements. You can use audit2allow to generate the type
enforcement file above from the audit.log file. I kept finding things
I'd missed, so the above is the result of several iterations of
audit2allow and merging copies of their output into one file:
#audit2allow -m mynagios -l -i audit.log mynagios.te
(Make a backup copy of the .te file somewhere in case you miss something
the first time around)
#gedit mynagios.te (to merge in the settings from the previous .te
file's backup)
#checkmodule -M -m -o mynagios.mod mynagios.te
#semodule_package -o mynagios.pp -m mynagios.mod
#semodule -i mynagios.pp
You can verify your mynagios policy package has been installed with:
#semodule -l
There was already a Nagios policy package installed on CentOS by
default, but it didn't work for me. Maybe it was because I installed
Nagios from source instead of using a package. Anyway, that's why I
called it mynagios, so that it didn't collide with the provided Nagios
package.

Re: [Nagios-users] How to reduce a very high latency number
Have you tried modifying the OCSP command? More specifically, have you optimized the command to have the lowest possible runtime. I noticed that only one instance of the OCSP command is executed at a time and this can lead to very high latencies when a large number of checks are queued for submission. In our environment the OCSP command took approximately 0.7seconds to run - so with 100 checks there would be approximately 70seconds where nagios is submitting results. It's pretty easy to see how this can lead to performance issues as the number of checks increases. Our OCSP command is submit_check_results is very similar to the one shown in the nagios docs (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html). Notice the last line: ''' /bin/printf %s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n $1 $2 $return_code $4 | /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H central_server -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg ''' In this version, the submit_check_result script has to wait for the send_nsca command to execute before the script can exit. If send_nsca takes 0.6seconds to send the check results and receive confirmation that the packet has been sent then the submit_check_result script has to wait at least 0.6seconds before exiting. Now consider this modified line: ''' /bin/printf %s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n $1 $2 $return_code $4 | /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca -H central_server -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg /dev/null ''' In this version, submit_check_result will run send_nsca in the background (similar to forking the process). This time submit_check_result will only execute send_nsca, but it will not wait for send_nsca to finish running. This effectivly reduces the runtime of submit_check_result to about 0.02seconds which is a huge improvement compared to 0.7seconds. Now lets look at the numbers: Before I modified submit_check_results our average service check latency was 160seconds. After modifying the script latency dropped down to 1second.

[Nagios-users] problems with action_url/notes_url URL truncation
Sorry if this in the docs or FAQ - I didn't see it if it is.
I'm running nagios 3.0.6 and 1.4.13 plugins.
I want to have a URL in the email host notification that would allow me to
connect to an Avocent KVM switch. This is what I have for the host definition:
define host{
use generic-host
host_name dbtest
alias dbtest
contact_groups buildpeople
action_url
https://kvmswitch/cgi-bin/kvm.cgi?file=overview-dsruserID=1326154034index=25
}
This URL works fine if you use it directly in a browser.
I changed the notify-host-by-email command to include action_url via
$HOSTACTIONURL$:
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-host-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NO
TIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:

OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\nKVM URL: $HOSTACTIONURL$\n | /bin/mail
-s ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **
$CONTACTEMAIL$
}
But the resulting email message seems to have lost all but the first
character, so the URL now looks like:
KVM URL:
https://kvmswitch/cgi-bin/kvm.cgi?file=overview-dsruserID=1326154034index=25
What am I missing here? I see others posting examples of URLs with arguements,
which implies that they are working for them.
thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] Network and machine resource consumption for Nagios
On Wed, 10 Dec 2008, Kenneth Holter wrote: Is there any resource consumption with regards to network or server/client machines to worry about when running Nagios? We're running active checks, i.e. the Nagios server uses SSH to run plugins on the client side and gather the information. I guessing that the per service per check interval load on the network is a matter of a couple of very small packets travelling between the Nagios server and the Nagios client. And on the client side it is only a matter of running small, simple scripts that causes very little processing overhead. Thus, all in all there shouldn't be much of a overhead to talk about when running Nagios? Of course, it all depends on the check interval and the number of checks, and if anyone knows any nagios check per processing/network capacity ratio please speak up. Apologies for the upcoming non-answer, but... Nagios is very configurable and customizable, and any overhead on either the client or server is completely dependent on what you've configured it to check, and how you're checking it. In the absence of any knowledge about what that might be, it's really impossible to come up with even a wildly inaccurate ballpark figure. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
