[Nagios-users] Nagios check with multiple results and graphing
Hi, I would like to graph the CPU usage of a Xen host using NagiosGrapher. I created a custom check that utilizes 'xentop' and I can have that script show the 'total' CPU usage, but also CPU usage of each VM - like that: XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU1 CpuUsage:.35% MemUsage:9.4% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU2 CpuUsage:.02% MemUsage:6.3% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU3 CpuUsage:.25% MemUsage:1.6% XEN_DOMU_PERF - Domain-0 CpuUsage:4.35% MemUsage:3.1% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU4 CpuUsage:1.30% MemUsage:6.3% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU5 CpuUsage:32.72% MemUsage:6.3% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU6 CpuUsage:.20% MemUsage:6.3% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU7 CpuUsage:.25% MemUsage:3.1% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU8 CpuUsage:.05% MemUsage:4.7% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU9 CpuUsage:.02% MemUsage:6.3% XEN_DOMU_PERF - domU10 CpuUsage:13.97% MemUsage:37.5% XEN_PERFORMANCE OK - CPUs:4 CpuUsage:53.50% MemTotal:16378MB MemUsage:90.9% The 'problem' is, that DomU's are 'dynamic' - they get moved around Xen hosts, new VM's are created, some are shutdown etc... Is there any way to create such a 'dynamic' graph without the need to constantly update Nagios and NagiosGrapher configuration?

[Nagios-users] check_by_ssh help
I have an appliance that I cannot install anything on. However I can connect via ssh. I can run remote commands with check_by_ssh, eg check_by_ssh -H hmc -C lsled -m ratbat -r sa -t phys -l hscroot -s /home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa This checks my HMC for the status of the attention LED on an AIX box. However, whatever the option is it comes back as OK in nagios. Is there a way to use check_by_ssh to check for a specific word? Also, the list active/deactive systems command puts each system on a separate line, which I would rather all be in one continuous line. It is not possible to write anything to the remote machine.

[Nagios-users] debugging eventhandler via nrpe
Hello all
I am trying to implement an event handler on a remote machine , and
having a problem with the way the status arguments are transferred over
the NRPE channel .
My config is as such :
define service{
snip
max_check_attempts 3
event_handler
check_nrpe_nonssl!solr-restart!$SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$
$SERVICEATTEMPT$!-t 200
snip
}
On the remote server the nrpe was compiled with --allow-command-args
,and in the nrpe.cfg i have the following parameters ?
dont_blame_nrpe=1
debug=1
command_timeout=300
# Event Handler
command[solr-restart]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart-solr.sh
the event handler script is :
#!/bin/bash
#
# Event handler script for restarting the web server on the local machine
#
# Note: This script will only restart the web server if the service is
# retried 3 times (in a soft state) or if the web service somehow
# manages to fall into a hard error state.
#
case $1 in
OK)
# The service just came back up, so don't do anything...

sleep 3
echo Event handler restarted the solr service
;;
esac
;;

echo Event handler restarted the solr service
exit 0
I can see in the syslog that the script is initiated :
Nov 11 18:15:44 gbc1-solr-07 nrpe[29687]: Host address is in allowed_hosts
Nov 11 18:15:44 gbc1-solr-07 nrpe[29687]: Handling the connection...

Nov 11 18:15:44 gbc1-solr-07 nrpe[29687]: Command completed with return
code 0 and output:
But the event handler is not preforming the tasks it is meant to .
when i initiate the command manually
~/libexec/check_nrpe -H host -n -c solr-restart -a Critical HARD 3
-t 200
it is running fine .
I know it is an issue with the transfer of the arguments to the nrpe -
but i am missing something to make sure they are parsed and sent properly .
Anyone can point me to the sign in front of me i am blindingly missing ?
Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications on passive service checks
Actually , the fact that the check is passive or active is some what irrelevant in this context. The place that will determine the notification policy is you central nagios , and what you defined in your service/host notifications directive . if you also define an escalation for that service - that will kick off the notifications .

[Nagios-users] Suppress Max concurrent service checks messages.
We're running Nagios 3.2.3 with concurrent service checks set to 40. We can't go much higher than this due to resource constraints outside of Nagios but we're running 329 services at 5 minute intervals (this is a load test of sorts not production load ... yet). Average execution time/latency is 36/11 seconds so we're seeing quite a few messages like this in the Nagios log file: (Informational Message) [11-11-2010 14:55:57] Max concurrent service checks (40) has been reached. Nudging host:service by 9 seconds... Is there any way to suppress these messages from being logged? I don't see an option for logging these in the config file documentation.

Re: [Nagios-users] different notification_intervals by contact
From: Duncan Berriman [mailto:dun...@dcl.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 1:00 PM To: 'Nagios Users List' Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] different notification_intervals by contact Escalations are a little pesky to get working correctly. Here is an example. ... Thanks, Duncan. I've decided to take a somewhat different approach. Ultimately, what they want is for the pager to occur at 4x the frequency of the e-mail (15 minutes versus 1 hour). So this doesn't wind up being all that hard if I make a contact that calls a simple shell script. That shell script then looks at the NOTIFICATIONNUMBER to (in this case) determine if it's a multiple of 4 and if so, sends the alert. In fact, I'm going to make this so that's going to take an argument to determine what number to perform 'modulo' on. So in theory this could be reused if someone wanted to have something run every other notification number, every 6th, etc, indefinitely. The downside as I see it is that Nagios won't quite have an accurate representation of who got what notifications. From Nagios' perspective, it sent an alert to the mailing list, but really, the script acts as a gateway to determine if a message was actually sent. So the Notifications for the host/service as shown in the UI will not be quite correct. But I think they can live with that.

[Nagios-users] check_openmanage -- question about battery check
hey gang, i'm using check_openmanage ( http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/check_openmanage.html) to monitor some dell servers. i'm using version 3.5.6 in production, but have also tested with 3.6.1 (latest, released Nov. 2, 2010). the problem i'm having is that the check is reporting battery charging WARNINGS even though I'm blacklisting that check. === r...@nagios:/opt/plugins# perl ./check_openmanage-3.6.1 -H server1 -C public -e -s -i -b bat_charge WARNING: [ABCDEFG] Cache Battery 0 in controller 0 is Learning (Active) [probably harmless] WARNING: [ABCDEFG] Cache Battery 0 in controller 1 is Learning (Active) [probably harmless] -- SYSTEM: PowerEdge R710, SN: ABCDEFG r...@nagios:/opt/plugins# == is there a way to ignore these that works? am i doing something wrong? thanks, J -- Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.

Not quite, anyway. :) Re-visit the documentation for blacklisting - you need to specify *which* battery you're blacklisting. This is the case for all blacklist directives.

We can't go much higher than this due to resource constraints outside of Nagios but we're running 329 services at 5 minute intervals (this is a load test of sorts not production load ... yet). Average execution time/latency is 36/11 seconds so we're seeing quite a few messages like this in the Nagios log file: (Informational Message) [11-11-2010 14:55:57] Max concurrent service checks (40) has been reached. Nudginghost:service by 9 seconds... Is there any way to suppress these messages from being logged? I don't see an option for logging these in the config file documentation. I put those messages in. Firstly, 40 doesn't necessarily mean there are 40 concurrent service checks running as they may have finished but not been reaped yet (to decrement the counter). Secondly, if you are getting these messages, then either (1) this limit is too low - increase and keep an eye of the load on your nagios server; (2) you've got too many checks running - reduce frequencies/ numbers or setup a slave server. The trouble with the way the nudging works is that it hides the fact that you have latency issues (as the check is rescheduled to a future time). This means nagiostats will not include the additional latency time here. If someone has a better way of working this out, I'm all ears. We could use something like pnp4nagios does, and issue a check to make sure load is below a certain threshold before firing off new checks. There's a (reasonably) portable way of getting the number of online CPU's, so we could even make an educated guess at how many checks we can run to saturate the CPU's while still not running too many checks. Ofcourse, some checks are more heavy-duty than others. As a first stab at maintaining reasonable load, we should probably ignore that. At a later point, we might want to introduce probably load increase of running this check and nudge checks into the future when we're in danger of load / num_cpus 0.9 or some other suitable number. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. -- Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.

Since I know what the problem is that these messages are trying to tell me. I'd just like to keep them from flooding the logs so I can see what else is happening more easily. That's all. You could always run Nagios in the foreground and redirect the log through a grep -v filter, restarting it on midnight every night and rotating logs manually. It's not difficult. Just cumbersome. So long as you're aware that whatever you conclude from your tests will be more than just a little off wrt what you wanted to determine, you'll almost certainly do alright though. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. -- Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
