[Nagios-users] Using two nagios servers...
Hi All, I am planning to configure all the servers in my client environment in two Nagios servers(in two different locations) in order to create Back up. Please let me know whether there will be any overload on the servers as two Nagios servers will be polling them.

[Nagios-users] embedded option in cgi
Hi guys, I'm integrating nagios in an homemade monitoring and asset management solution, with dokuwiki and request tracker. In order to accomplish it, I need the cgi not to print head part of the page. running through the code, I've found out that I've to pass the embedded=true option. Awesome; Exactly what I was looking for. But the links in the generated page will not inherit the embedded options, so, with the next click I will receive a complete HTML page. I did not find any cgi.conf option for adding a static part to all links. Before I'll start to patch all CGIs, do you have some advice? thanks in advance Diego -- Diego Roccia diego.roccia (at) gmail (dot) com -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-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
Re: [Nagios-users] Using two nagios servers...
Your servers will probably be fine servicing the extra Nagios polling, unless they are overloaded already. Since I run Nagios on virtual machines, however, I tried to keep the load on my failover Nagios server minimized. My failover Nagios server runs a cron job that uses the check_nagios plugin to monitor the state of the primary Nagios server. If the primary server is up and running, the failover server will just rsync the state and configuration files from the primary. If the primary server becomes unavailable, the cron job will start the Nagios service on the failover server and keep it running until it detects the primary has recovered.

Hi, Even I run Nagios on Virtual machines. Please let me know where can I get the support for running cron job on my secondary Nagios server to monitor the Nagios service on primary Nagios server?

[Nagios-users] Mail sending issue.
Hi all, We are testing with Fully Automated Nagios. Have installed and started monitoring 2 Windows 2003 servers. But we can't get notification to work. When we certify Nagios installation we get the following error send-mail: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: local host What does notify-host-by-mail mean? Is the notification send to host only. How can we make FAN send mails? We have an internal mail server, and are trying to send notifications to an ID there. Connectivity is fine, have entered the id in contacts.cfg file. We have installed NSClient++ in these servers, but the host server, shows connection refused, there is no firewall! Please help!!

Sounds like a postfix error. You DID configure postfix mail, right?

It might help if you shared: 1) your Nagios config (all of it) 2) your email config 3) the result of a test by telnetting to your mailserver and faking a mail transaction similar to what you're trying to do. This might seem fairly intuitive to some, but not to others, so I'm explicitly suggesting. In general, detail is useful -- if you're afraid to spam a maillist that reaches thousands, then simply provide the same detail at a URL where it can be downloaded, and just give the URL in your message. NOT providing detail merely means people may have to ask for it -- ultimately delaying your solution -- or waste time guessing. As Dave Stern points out, it might not be a Nagios problem if your mail server -- for whatever reason -- won't let the nagios user or the Nagios server box send a message... ie it's not Nagios' issue if the mailserver refuses, regardless what attempts are made. Please ensure you have your mailserver administrator onboard with what you're doing. If the collection of this background data and discussion with your mailserver admin resolves the issue, please let us know :) Allan -- all...@chickenandporn.com 金鱼 http://linkedin.com/in/goldfish -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-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
Re: [Nagios-users] displaying multiple lines of output in the GUI
Does anyone know how to configure nagios to display multiple lines output in the CGI? We're using nagios 3.2.0 and apparently, having multiple lines in the cgi is not done automagically. Thank you.

[Nagios-users] nagios plugins return code issue
Hello all, I've googled around everywhere trying to find an answer here and came up unsuccessful, so if anyone has had experience in this situation, I'd appreciate help! Basically, the issue that I'm having is that I have a couple of temperature plugins that are reporting errors in Nagios and at the command line they're exiting in 0: check7204temp.pl - Return code of 255 is out of bounds and checkciscotemp.pl - Return code of 9 is out of bounds If I run a echo $? at the command line after running the command successfully, I get 0. Thanks for any help anyone can provide!! My perms are 755 and nagios user owns the plugins and I've run successfully with nagios user and got 0 output. I'm really stumped!!

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios plugins return code issue
This probably means that a subroutine from one of the used perl libraries is bailing out with an error, although why I don't know. Are you sure you're passing all of the arguments the same on the command line as Nagios is? One thing that I can tell you is that those plugins are out of date, since they use the old value of -1 for Unknown which should be 3 now, so who knows what other issues there are.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios plugins return code issue
Additionally, Nagios is really sensitive about how the Perl script is written. It should be written well-enough to run with use strict without any errors. (I see that it is commented out of both of your scripts.) Additionally, the embedded Perl interpreter causes the scripts to be run in what I consider to be a somewhat non-standard way in regards to how the parameters are sent to the script. (In our installation we have to surround host and service macros with quotes before sending them to any plugins written in Perl.) The copyright date on that file is 2000, so you will definitely want to find (or write) a more up to date version.
