[Nagios-users] Unable to log in to Nagios
Greetings community, I have recently installed Nagios by following this tutorial, to the letter : http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-fedora.html However, when I log into http://localhost/nagios, and enter the user nagiosadmin and the password I set, it just keeps bouncing back to the login screen. I have run through the setup instructions a number of times thinking I may have missed something, but I covered everything again and I`m still not able to log in. When I try to access the forums (http://nagios.meulie.net/) I get a page not found error. I am running Centos 5.2 i386. Can someone please point me in the right direction to help solve this, or simply blurt out the answer for me if you know it :) Thank you in advance for your prompt reply and your willingness to help. -- Regards Chris Blake TAU SPACE Operations Manager -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ 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

From the quickstart: 5) Configure the Web Interface [...] Create a nagiosadmin account for logging into the Nagios web interface. Remember the password you assign to this account - you'll need it later. htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin [...] Your htpasswd file probably either does not contain what you think it does, or is not where it should be. Try re-creating it and using a very simple password.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios as a Service Resiliency Manager
That's an interesting link - but unfortunately I don't think it really covers the situation where a host goes down or becomes unreachable. It may be the case that Nagios is not suitable for this purpose, but I thought I would check on here in case anyone had done anything like this previously. Cheers, Chris 2009/12/10 Marcel mits...@gmail.com: Maybe this would help: http://onlamp.com/onlamp/2006/05/25/self-healing-networks.html On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 3:08 PM, Christopher McAtackney crist...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I have a need to control an Active / Passive pair of components and was wondering if anyone had tackled this problem with Nagios? The scenario is as follows; Host A has SERVICE_1 installed and running. Host B has SERVICE_2 installed, but not running. The desired functionality is to detect when SERVICE_1 is not running (or that Host A is down / unreachable), and then to start SERVICE_2 on Host B. I believe I can do this with Nagios by defining an event handler on SERVICE_1 which will make the appropriate call to start SERVICE_2 on Host B Would it make sense to store the relationship between SERVICE_1 and Host B / SERVICE_2 as a service macro, e.g. $_SERVICE_PASSIVE_HOSTNAME, $_SERVICE_PASSIVE_SERVICENAME? There are too many scenarios in which the SERVICE_1 might come back up to try automate the switching off of SERVICE_2 I believe, e.g. if someone pulled a network cable on Host A accidently, then plugged it in 15 minutes later - during which time Nagios detects that it is down and so starts up SERVICE_2. The user then plugs the network lead back in and now we have two Active instances running - which is what we specifically wanted to avoid. Even if Nagios detects that the primary component is up, it's still too late because any Active / Active overlap will cause problems for this particular application. I can't think of any way to automate that side of things - but does the general concept of having Nagios start up a Passive partner make sense?

[Nagios-users] Alternatives to NSCA?
Greetings, does anybody know of a NSCA replacement, which does the job without the need of unsupported libraries? The requirement of libmcrypt makes NSCA a real hassle to use for us, since we have to manually install third party libraries - which we really do not want to. RedHat won't support libmcrypt, as its development is long dead. Any alternatives out there, my google searches didn't come up with anything sadly. Or might it be easier to patch NSCA to use libgcrypt for example, which is available in every distribution?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios as a Service Resiliency Manager
Chris, great thing about Nagios is it enables creative solution like this. I'd love to see you try it and report back on how it works for you.

It may be the case that Nagios is not suitable for this purpose, but I thought I would check on here in case anyone had done anything like this previously. Cheers, Chris 2009/12/10 Marcel mits...@gmail.com: Maybe this would help: http://onlamp.com/onlamp/2006/05/25/self-healing-networks.html On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 3:08 PM, Christopher McAtackney crist...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I have a need to control an Active / Passive pair of components and was wondering if anyone had tackled this problem with Nagios? The scenario is as follows; Host A has SERVICE_1 installed and running. Host B has SERVICE_2 installed, but not running. The desired functionality is to detect when SERVICE_1 is not running (or that Host A is down / unreachable), and then to start SERVICE_2 on Host B. I believe I can do this with Nagios by defining an event handler on SERVICE_1 which will make the appropriate call to start SERVICE_2 on Host B Would it make sense to store the relationship between SERVICE_1 and Host B / SERVICE_2 as a service macro, e.g. $_SERVICE_PASSIVE_HOSTNAME, $_SERVICE_PASSIVE_SERVICENAME? There are too many scenarios in which the SERVICE_1 might come back up to try automate the switching off of SERVICE_2 I believe, e.g. if someone pulled a network cable on Host A accidently, then plugged it in 15 minutes later - during which time Nagios detects that it is down and so starts up SERVICE_2. The user then plugs the network lead back in and now we have two Active instances running - which is what we specifically wanted to avoid. Even if Nagios detects that the primary component is up, it's still too late because any Active / Active overlap will cause problems for this particular application. I can't think of any way to automate that side of things - but does the general concept of having Nagios start up a Passive partner make sense?

Re: [Nagios-users] [Nagios-devel] Alternatives to NSCA?
Once upon a time, I've tweaked syslog-ng to write to the command pipe. That worked like a charm.

[Nagios-users] Notifications not being sent
First, thank you all for any help that you can provide. Here is the
problem that I am having, I hope someone can help point out something
obvious that I have missed.
1) Hosts are being monitored just fine, status map shows red when a host
goes down, event log shows alerts like it should.
2) Timeframes are set for 24/7
3) All host and service notifications are enabled
4) email address is correct
5) All hosts services are, at a minimum, set for w,c,u,r
6) If I go to a service or host and click on the link Send custom host
notification it will send the notification without forcing it so I
know that the timeframes are being read correctly and this also verifies
the email address is correct and the mail send is working.
7) The event log doesn't show that it's even trying to send a
notification when something alerts.

i did that with syslog to, and with netcat (but then you don't get encryption though) i think i still have my scripts (they are prob searchable in the list also) if someone is interested On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 5:26 PM, Marcel mits...@gmail.com wrote: Once upon a time, I've tweaked syslog-ng to write to the command pipe.

[Nagios-users] Monitor Cisco Switches
Hello, I am trying to monitor Cisco switches and routers. I am able to ping and check the uptime of the switch. 1) But for the port 1 link status, I am getting SNMP CRITICAL - *down(2)* error. 2) For port 1 bandwidth usage, the error is check_mrtgtraf: Unable to open MRTG log file I have installed MRTG, but I am not able to go any further. Also for the http://localhost/mrtg/10.111.100.102_43.html check, I am getting the following error *404 Not found The requested URL /mrtg/10.111.100.102_43.html was not found on this server. * I have checked for assistance in http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/ but in vain.
