Re: [Nagios-users] too much notify

2008-12-15 Thread Alejandro Feijoo Fraga
Hi.

I have al services similiar like this:

---
define service{
 use generic-service
 host_name   cn003
 service_description PING
 is_volatile 0
 check_period24x7
 max_check_attempts  3
 normal_check_interval   5
 retry_check_interval1
 contact_groups  admins
 notification_interval   0
 notification_period 24x7
 notification_optionsw,u,c,r
 check_command   check-host-alive
}
---

But for example... when one node is down, i´m only need one mail 
alert... and nagios going to send too mucho notify.

for example... i have an mail alert

at 13:20pm
* Nagios  *

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: cn016
State: DOWN
Address: xx.xx.xx.xx
Info: $
PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

Date/Time: Thu Dec 11 13:20:32 CET 2008

And... the same alert at 13:55

* Nagios  *

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: cn016
State: DOWN
Address: 84.21.168.16
Info: $
PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

Date/Time: Thu Dec 11 13:55:51 CET 2008

 Hi.

 how do you? because i have the same problem, i have mails alert every
 minutes and i have notification_interval=0

 where is the problem?
 
 Set the is_volatile to 0. 
 
 The is_volatile with value 1 means that the service is volatile, and the
 status falling back to OK after every notification.
 (See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/volatileservices.html)

[Nagios-users] Antwort: Re: too much notify

2008-12-15 Thread Sascha . Runschke
Hello Alejandro,

first of all: please do not toppost and fullquote the messages.
It's considered rude and makes reading and understanding your message
harder then necessary. Thanks for your understanding.

Second: You have misunderstood something.

You posted a service definition.

 ---
 define service{
[snip]
 }
 ---

But you then posted a host problem notification.

 at 13:20pm
 Notification Type: PROBLEM
 Host: cn016
 State: DOWN

Service problems and host problems are two different things.
The fact that you have a PING service might be the reason
you misinterpreted the mail. A PING service is most of the time
not necessary, because Nagios will ping the host anyways
via the check-host-alive command.

 How i can make to receive only one alert?

Check your host definition for the notification_interval.

Regards
Sascha

Re: [Nagios-users] Host is not allowed to talk to us!

2008-12-15 Thread Grant Lowe
Well, I finally got the problem fixed.  It turns out that the latest problem 
was caused by some .so library files that were incorrect.  I ran ldd on the 
nrpe binary and looked at each file it was looking for.  Going through the 
files one-by-one, I found the files and had redo some sym links.  Thanks for

Well, operator error (I made a mistake). I found that inside nrpe.cfg there is 
a lines tha I needed to modify:

allowed_hosts=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I modified that and now I get a different error:

nrpe[2779]: [ID 813741 daemon.error] Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 1

On the nagios server, I've tried running the command with -n and without -n and 
both fail.  However, only with -n do I get an error.  Without -n I get no 
errors.  This is the command I'm running:

 Hi Andy,

 Bear with me.  I'm trying to understand all this

 Hmm. That makes sense.  Judging by the IP address in the NRPE logs,  
 that looks like its a problem.  The IP address it says its not  
 allowed to talk to is the NAT'ed IP address, not the real IP  
 address, of the Nagios server.

This is what I was asking earlier ;)

 I can ping the Nagios servver by IP and it does respond correctly,

You can ping the private, 172.20.40.45 address? That would be a very  
unusual configuration if you're also seeing a public address on the  
NRPE side. I expect the box would have to be dual-homed for that to  
happen, in which case your NRPE box would also have to have an IP on  
the private network and you could tell Nagios to use that one instead  
of the one you're using now (completely guessing about your network  
architecture so MyMMV).

 But doing a who, or a netstat -a  and grepping for established  
 connections shows the NAT'ed IP.  All addresses are adddresses that  
 we own.  I'm at a loss of how to correct this.  How do I get the  
 networking folks to show the NRPE host the real IP address of the  
 server?  Can it be done?

They should know how, and it depends entirely on how your network is  
designed. There's no way we can tell you how without knowing that in  
significant detail ;) Is there a reason you can't just permit the  
public NAT IP that NRPE is seeing? Seems to me to be the most direct  
and easiest solution.

You can use NRPE on remote servers to be monitored from a central Nagios 
server, yes.

If you need any more information we'll need more explanation from you 
about what it is you'd like to do.

 What version of nagios are you using?  Should the hostgroups not be

 or is that a diff showing what you've added?

   
I am using Nagios 3.0.5 having migrated our configuration from 2.x. I 
just updated hostgroups to hostgroup_name in our services (though why 
it's still hostgroups for a host is strange). The + at the beginning of

Since firewalls operate on network traffic to and from the nagios  
machine, it can have no impact whatsoever on nagios ability to receive  
an external command submitted through the CGI's (a local disk write).

Do you mean SELinux instead? The Fedora Quick Start guide, list  
archives, http://nagioscommunity.org and Googleing for 'nagios  
selinux' should all yield useful information on policy changes.

If none of the above are useful or match your situation, you'll need  
to provide more specific information about your problem. What  
_exactly_ happens. What _exactly_ are you disabling to make it work?

Hi James,

Does your host appear as down in Nagios?  If not, your host's 
check_command may be returning inaccurate information (telling Nagios 
it's up when it's actually down.)

Please remember to Reply to All so the list can see your replies and 
provide future information for people searching the archives.

Nagios will do what you want.  Like Marc said, no proxy is required - 
just network access between the Nagios monitoring server and the clients 
you want to monitor.  There are a few ways you could achieve this, each 
with their own benefits.

- Run an SNMP agent on your remote clients, then you can monitor the 
clients and the routers in the same way from your Nagios machine (active)
- Run NRPE on the servers/PCs at the remote location, then Nagios can 
communicate directly with them to execute the commands (active)
- Run NCSA on the servers/PCs at the remote location, which will submit 
the check results to Nagios (passive)

Or, as Marc alluded to, you could also set up a Nagios server at your 
local location, and one at your remote location.  Your remote Nagios 
server will query the clients at its end (remote; using one of the above 
methods) then submit the check results back to the Nagios server at your 
local location, which in turn could query the clients at its end (local) 
too.

Hope this helps,
Andy

 Thanks for the reply

 my setup

 Local Location - firewall - router - --512mb pvt lease line-- - 
 router - firewall - Remote Location

 Local Location:-
Monitoring Server and all the clients to be 
 monitored

 Remote Location:-
Monitoring Proxy Server and all the 
 clients to be monitored.

 The monitoring proxy server should collect the data from all the 
 clients and send it to the Monitoring Server which is located at the 
 Local Location.

 The monitoring server and monitoring proxy server at the remote 
 location will be connected, monitoring server will not connect 
 directly to the clients at the remote location.

 Hope i have made my self clear

 Remy

 You can use NRPE on remote servers to be monitored from a central

 If you need any more information we'll need more explanation from

Re: [Nagios-users] launching ssh session via action_url (or other mechanism)

2008-12-15 Thread Eric Pearce
Good tip.
I also found a useful utility on the MSDN link, 
http://www.codeplex.com/customurl
I used CustomURL to set up both ssh:// and rdp://  (remote desktop) 
protocols for broswers and I have verified that it works for both IE and 
Firefox.
This enables me to do the following:

 action_url  ssh://linuxserver

and

action_urlrdp://windowserver

Now I can click on the Extra Host Action icon without knowing the 
connection method in advance.
Thanks again

 Hi Eric,

 I'm not sure if PuTTY or other SSH clients support the ssh:// URL handler 
 directly, but if not you can add it yourself.  See the MSDN documentation 
 at the URL below.  You could add a protocol handler for the ssh:// 
 protocol, then if you put ssh://192.168.0.1 as your URL in Nagios, the 
 client PC will launch the application you put in the registry and pass it 
 192.168.0.1 as the %1 argument.

 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914.aspx

 E.g. your shell open command for PuTTY would be something like: 
 C:\|putty.exe -ssh %1|

 I've done a similar thing with an application I manage at work and it was 
 really easy.  The only downside is the registry has to be updated on every 
 PC, but you could export the registry key as a .reg file and pass it 
 around to those who need it.

 I believe it's a system-wide thing, so it should work in Firefox as well, 
 but don't quote me on it.

 Regards,
 Andy

 I found several people saying this is possible in the mailing list 
 archives, but I don't see any detailed examples or instructions.   I'm 
 not a java programmer.
 I don't think the IE-specific telnet:// registry hack is good enough - I 
 want to be able to use Firefox as well.
 I'm running nagios 3.0.6 and 1.4.13 plugins
 Thanks for any pointers.

[Nagios-users] monitor cpu usage...

2008-12-15 Thread Craig A
Hi all,
   I've looked at the documentation, at the mailling lists, and googled
around, and don't explicitly see it so thought i'd try here

On our system, I've set up nagios and it's monitoring a few things (http,
etc) just fine.   However, one of our applications is giving us grief and
sometimes starts consuming 80% of a cpu (it's a quad-core machine).   So
i'd like to set up a monitor to see how often this happens and to get
notified.   Looking around, it seems like 'check_procs' with the CPU metric
should do what i want.

However, it doesn't seem to behave quite as I'd expect.   If I look at 'top'
on this linux system, for our 'problem' application, i see this (and it will
be constant like this for  1 hour):
*
  PID USER  PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+  COMMAND
20022 ourapp   18   0 1428m 1.0g  13m S  104 25.7 442:18.39 java*


So when I run this command, I'd expect to see 1 process flagged:

*[r...@ours libexec]# ./check_procs -w 10 -c 20 --metric=CPU
CPU OK: 173 processes
*

I've tried adding the '-u' flag but made no difference.  Is there something
I'm missing if I want to capture and be notified when a process goes above a
certain CPU usuage (ie. 80%)?
Any help or information you could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Jayson,
   Thanks for the suggestion but '-C' just limited it to the 4 processes
that I'm interested in, but it still says OK.Reducing -w to 1 is
the only way i can get a warning out even though top is still showing
the offending process pinned around 100% and it's not yo-yo'ing.
