[Nagios-users] Notifications only to service contacts, not to host contacts?
Hi,
I have some services defined, that are just interesting for some people,
especially not for all contacts defined for the host. So the service has a
single contact defined.
Now the problem is, that the notifications are not only send to the contact
defined for this service, they are also send to the contacts (contact_group)
defined for the host this service is defined for.
The contact_group is defined for this host in the host-template.
define service{
use service-template
hostgroup_name check_zypper
service_description check for updates
check_command check_nrpe!check_zypper
contactscontact1
}
define host{
use example-template
host_name hostname.example.org
alias example host
address hostname.example.org
hostgroups example-hosts, check_zypper
}
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
Greetings,
Christian

Nagios expects this kind of notification granularity.
Now the problem is, that the notifications are not only send to the
contact
defined for this service, they are also send to the contacts
(contact_group)
defined for the host this service is defined for.
Nagios will not do this unless you specifically configure it to do so.
Nagios has been told that it should.
Are they service notifications or host notifications? Is there
anything else unusual about the notifications or their content? What
does nagios.log show related to these notifications?
The contact_group is defined for this host in the host-template.
define service{
contactscontact1
}
define host{
use example-template
host_name hostname.example.org
alias example host
address hostname.example.org
hostgroups example-hosts, check_zypper
}
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
Who are the host contacts? Please post the entire host and service
definitions, including the templates with the important bits. You
might want to grab the definitions from objects.cache.

Hi All
I have noticed whilst monitoring my NT server the CPU load level has been at
critical status for 3d 8h 29m 32s and sitting at 100%, this is good news
from a monitoring point of view as it was spotted, however I need to solve
it.
I know I can just jump on to my server and look at the processors I would
find what was hogging it but is there a plugin/module or add-on that I can
use to see what processors maxing out.
If you're any good at scripting, you can tinker with the WMI script
from here:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3560366/Monitor-CPU-Usage-of-All-Running-Processes--Part-I.htm
It's a WMI script that will walk through all the processes, and return
the CPU usage. With some tweaking, you can probably sort the results,
add the values, and use it as a CPU counter, and return the top
process as part of the check.
Also, if you only want the _Total_ processor usage and have NSCP
installed you can access the perfmon counter with a check_command like:
define command{
command_name check-processor-nscp
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l
\\Processor(_Total)\\% Processor Time,Processor Used %2.f%% -p 12489
}
(NB I run nscp on port 12489 hence the -p argument).
Steve.

Thanks for the hint with the objects.cache.
The contact_group is defined in the template for the service.
so a
define service {
...
contactscontact1
contact_groups
}
unsets the value and I hope it will work now.
Thanks for helping :)

[Nagios-users] send_nsca to monitor a remote log via passive checks.
Hello I have a problem I am using a program logsurfer which scan logfiles and realtime it is running on a remote host, i have created a passive check in nagios and I want to use send_nsca to send the errors in the logs to the monitoring server. whenever i launch send_nsca manually in the command line it works but when I set it in the config file of logsurfer it does not sends any passive checks to the nagios server. here is the command i try to use in order to send it to the nagios server. /usr/bin/echo host\tlogfile\t2\t\$0\ | /etc/nagios/send_nsca -H 123.123.123.123 -c /etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg it is there an error in syntax, does anyone of you know logsurfer and it's maybe the logsurfer problem if the syntax of send_nsca is correct. $0 is supposed to be the entire line that will be sent to the monitoring server. thank you for your help; it will be priceless.

[Nagios-users] Different notifications depending on warning?
I don't know if this is possible, but is there any way to make nagios send different alerts (or, rather not send alerts) depending on what exactly a warning state is? My understanding is that nagios only looks at the return code, not the status text, so this shouldn't be possible, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. The problem I am trying to solve is the following: I am monitoring a number of printers via SNMP, and there are a number of conditions that will trigger a WARNING status on the printer: Out of paper, open front cover, low toner, etc. Some of these, such as out of paper, can be and typically are quickly and easily solved by the end user, and as such there is no point in e-mailing us about it, at least not until it has been empty for a while. However, it should still show up as a warning in nagios, because there have been situations where someone is being unable to print to a remote printer, and it turns out it is because no one in the remote location noticed that it was out. Other WARNING situations we need to be notified about immediately, such as (primarily) low toner, in which case we need to make sure we have a replacement available, and perhaps even sent out, if the location is remote. I suppose I could write a plugin that looks at the status text and upgrades certain warnings, such as low toner, to critical status, but this would be problematic as well, because we would then loose the distinction between low toner, which just means we need to make sure we have more, and toner empty, which means we need to go replace it. So is there a good solution to this dilemma that I am missing?

So is there a good solution to this dilemma that I am missing? Thanks. Not within nagios that I know of. There are two points of possible action that I see. The first, as you've already discovered, is to modify the way that it's checked and add the logic there. The second is to add the logic to your notifications. The notification program can be anything at all. You could easily create your own notification script to act as a wrapper to /bin/mail that filters out those things that shouldn't really generate an alert. -- Marc -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ 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] How to set postfix to send notifications
Hi Folks I do need a help, i'm dealing with a nightmare overhere. I got the Nagios working pretty fine (hosts, contacts, hostgroups, contactgroups, and else), but nothing about notification. I'm working with a slackware 12.2 version, have installed postfix but don't know what to do with it. It's says that need a MTA, that's why I have installed postfix, because in many forum people say it's most simple than sendmail or else. Give me a light on this!!!

[Nagios-users] New to Nagios - Need help with nagios.cfg
Hello, I'm very new to Nagios. I'm running version Nagios 3.0.6 on CentOS RHEL 5.1. I used the FC6 instructions for my installation. I've successfully installed the program per the Quick-start guide provided on the Website. We presently have another server with an older version of Nagios installed. It's using cfg_dir=/opt/nagios/etc as its location for all *.cfg giles. Here's a problem: When I try to create an alternate directory (cfg_dir) in the nagios config file, I keep getting a CONFIG ERROR when I try to restart the service. I would like to use cfg_dir=/opt/nagios/etc/main to hold all the config files.

[Nagios-users] Acknowledge an alarm and changing severity levels
I am using Nagios 3.02 with NRPE 2.12 and have tested the following scenario for a disk space check. Disk space reaches to a warning threshold, say 70% and it is acknowledged. However no space is gained and the available space continues to shrink till it reaches the critical threshold (90% for example). Nagios won't raise another alarm and send another alert even though the severity has changed, because of the fact that it was acknowledged when the threshold was warning. Is there any way we can get Nagios to send a new alarm when it reaches to critical threshold, even though it was acknowledged when at warning? It seems to me that this would make sense.
