[Nagios-users-br] freee lance pra instalar nagios

2010-11-19 Thread Jose Oliveira
Colegas

Estou precisando de um cara batuta aqui em Belo Horizonte, para instalar um
Nagios novo, migrar a configuração de um antigo e dar um curso de operação,
manutenção e talvez, de criação de plugins.

Alguem se habilita? Não é pra mim ou pra onde eu trabalho. Um amigo meu que
está procurando mas estou sem disponibilidade pra fazer o trabalho neste
final-de-ano...

Eu já ofereci pra ele Nagios + nagvis + nagiosql + nagiosgraph, conbinação
que demanda ndo2db.

That would be an excellent idea. Any chance you could whip up a patch?

If you run

[Nagios-users] certain timeperiods for some services on some hosts

2010-11-19 Thread Love Grönvall
I have two hosts; host_a and host_b, both running web servers which are being 
checked by Nagios.

I want workhours notification_period on all services on host_a and host_b apart 
from:
- 24x7 notification_period for http on host_a
- workhours notification_period for http on host_b

Do I need to set up different services for the two different time periods?


The perfect solution for me would be to set up a servicegroup, 24x7-services, 
where I place important services on certain servers. But obviously I can't 
define notification_period for a service group.

How is the best solution to solve this? (It's a setup with hundreds of servers, 
and doing duplicate definitions of services wouldn't be the prettiest solution.)

Re: [Nagios-users] More than one command defined

2010-11-19 Thread Max Schubert
We went through a couple of rounds of changes with this:
* We first hacked our copy of process_perfdata.pl and added logging to
it, then built a relay to our long term trending data warehouse for
relaying Nagios perfdata to it after allowing PNP to process it for
short term views of the data

Nagios - PNP NEB - network - performance data server - NPCD queue
- process_perfdata.pl  - log - relay - network - data warehouse

* Now we have a POE-based solution in place that processes the
perfdata for PNP and our relay as two data driven events

Nagios - PNP NEB - network - performance data server - POE server
POE server - RRD files (replaces npcd and process_perfdata.pl)
POE server - network - data warehouse network listener

For both methods we built off of the (at the time very young)
modpnpsender.c NEB module source included with PNP. ; we then migrated
to a NEB modules who's code was based on some NEB code Andreas wrote
that showed how to write to the input of a second external program
over a pipe + an external perl script that relayed the data to the
destination servers over the network (or queued if the network was
down).

Code will be available open source this year for people who are interested.

  you can use a template to make it easier.

Build the template to encompass all the definitions you need and then 
define the service for the host group/service group  you want to 
associate it to , and in the service  definition  you override  the 
timeperiod  definition with the local definition .

that way you still have a duplicate , but it will be an easier and 
neater solution .

Re: [Nagios-users] can log show actual command executed?

2010-11-19 Thread Kaiwang Chen
enable debug log in nagios.cfg:

# DEBUG LEVEL
# This option determines how much (if any) debugging information will
# be written to the debug file.  OR values together to log multiple
# types of information.
# Values:
#  -1 = Everything

#  2 = Configuration
#  4 = Process information
#  8 = Scheduled events
#  16 = Host/service checks
#  32 = Notifications
#  64 = Event broker
#  128 = External commands
#  256 = Commands
#  512 = Scheduled downtime
#  1024 = Comments
#  2048 = Macros

debug_level=-1



# DEBUG VERBOSITY
# This option determines how verbose the debug log out will be.
# Values: 0 = Brief output
# 1 = More detailed
# 2 = Very detailed

debug_verbosity=2



# DEBUG FILE
# This option determines where Nagios should write debugging information.

debug_file=/var/nagios.debug


Then you will get the most verbose internal states. I experienced a
typo of 172 to 127, and found it with the help of debug log. If you
are lucky, do serveral search of check_http will locate the problem.

Thanks,

2010/11/18 Ray Kiddy r...@ganymede.org:

 I am having a problem figuring out see what is actually being executed from a 
 service. Is there a way to get the nagios log to contain the actual command 
 being executed?

 This is what I am seeing in the Nagios.log file:

        [1290013792] SERVICE ALERT: myhost.com;Special 
 App;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;(Service Check Timed Out)

 This is what I see in the nagios.dat file:

        check_command=check_http!/myURL!alive

 So, this shows me what the command string is in the service.cfg. I cannot 
 see, though, what the actual command line is at this moment in time. It turns 
 out that this check_command corresponds (I think) to:

        check_http -u /myURL -s alive

 How would I know this, though, if the command definition had been changed or 
 if it is using, because of a mis-spelling, a command I do not think it is 
 using? If I go into the command.cfg and switch the order of parameters, for 
 example, I see nothing in these logs that tells me what is doing what.

 I know the simplest answer is You should not do that. But my point is that 
 the log file does not have enough information to tell me what happened at a 
 past moment of time. I would need the log information _and_ the state of the 
 command definitions at that time. If a log does not show you what happened in 
 the past, what is its purpose?

 I am having a problem with a particular web application. For some reason I 
 put in the check and it fails. I execute the check_http that I _think_ this 
 service is doing, and it gives me an OK. I ended up creating a custom 
 executable that calls curl and fetches against the same URL and this now 
 works fine. Kind of lame, though. I use check_http in about 100 other 
 services. So, why is this one single service not working? An obvious answer 
 is that I am not calling the command in the way I think I am. But if I look 
 in the log to see what the service did, I can see what I _think_ it did based 
 on what I can see in what I _think_ is the correct command definition. But I 
 really do not know. I do not see a line like check_http -u /myURL -s alive 
 in the log, so, I cannot see if I am mis-reading things.

 Any suggestions?

Re: [Nagios-users] More than one command defined

2010-11-19 Thread Kaiwang Chen
Not sure about 3.2.2.

In 3.2.3 nagios can be configured to both write to log and run a
defined command on each copy of perfdata.
PNP bulk mode relies on the former, and the following configure
directive are involved:
process_performance_data
host_perfdata_file
service_perfdata_file
host_perfdata_file_mode
service_perfdata_file_mode
host_perfdata_file_processing_interval
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval
host_perfdata_file_processing_command
service_perfdata_file_processing_command
Don't worry about uncommpleted files, Nagios will close the file,
invoke the file processing command, then reopen the file. The
performance data is logged in the file, you can then do what you like
in the defined processing command, which can be simply a /bin/mv to
move it to another place as PNP bulk mode with NPCD, or processing the
whole perfdata log file as PNP bulk mode.

the PNP default mode relies on the latter, and the following configure
directives are involved:
process_performance_data
host_perfdata_command
service_perfdata_command
Nagios simple invokes the comands passing in perfdata and other
infomation in NAGIOS_XXX environment variables (have a look at
parse_env() in process_perfdata.pl).


Let me know if it works.

Thanks,
kc

 I’m looking at the same issue and our thoughts are to use NDO utils or
 possibly custom NEB to grab perf data that way, but then still let
 pnp4nagios run the ‘normal’ way.

 Hi,

 I have a need to run two different commands when processing the performance
 data from Nagios (3.2.2)

 I want the first  command to run the process-perfdata.pl script from
 pnp4nagios and the second command to log various things to a different log
 file.

 The reason is that we've only just had a requirement to process performance
 data for pnp4nagios graphing. But historically we've created our own
 performance data log

 which is then used within a database to produce SLA reports developed
 in-house (no graphing just numbers produced for the SLA reports)

 If I do the following I don't get an errors when I run nagios -v nagios.cfg

 define command {
     command_name process-service-perfdata-file
     command_line first command - process performance data for
 pnp4nagios
     command_line second command - log different data to a different
 file
     }

 I'd like to avoid creating a script with both commands in if I can help it
 as it's extremely useful to keep it simple and visible in the
 misccommands.cfg file.

 Perhaps there is some other way I can do this or is a script with both
 commands really the only way ?

 Any help / pointers would be really appreciated. If I'm being dense about
 this and the answer is staring right at me feel free to say so!

 Thanks,
 Deborah

[Nagios-users] CHECK_SVN

2010-11-19 Thread Luis Gustavo de Andrade Jordão Carneiro
Hello People!!



Can you help me?

I installed plugin check_svn in my Nagios 3.2.3. When I run check_svn using 
prompt, that's work. But not when Nagios running check_svn.



nagiosql:~# su - nagios

nag...@nagiosql:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_svn -H 10.0.0.33 --https -U 
lcarneiro -P  --dir /svn/aocsw_config

SVN OK: svn repository online - directory listing successful



But, when Service Nagios run, not work. See:



SVN CRITICAL: Error connecting to svn server - OPTIONS of 
'https://svnaero/svn/aocsw_desenv': Server certificate verification failed: 
issuer is not trusted (https://svnaero)

check_command   check_svn!lcarneiro!x!/svn/aocsw_desenv





I already accept certificate permanent (p) using svn info SVN PATH.
How can i know which USER run check_svn?
I think this could be the problem, because i need to accept certificate to user 
that run check_svn.

In your check_command
check_svn!lcarneiro!x!/svn/aocsw_desenv

Try taking out two of the three exclamation marks and putting spaces, like
this:

check_command   check_svn!lcarneiro x /svn/aocsw_desenv

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP checks, using multiple snmpgets

 possible, give the how to above shows in example 7 a config whereby
 you monitor multiple ports in a single command.
 I tried this config:

 check_command           check_snmp!-C public -o ifDescr.52 -m RFC1213-MI
 B -o ifOperStatus.52 -r 1 -m RFC1213-MIB

 The output of the command is fine, I see the string returned from the
 ifDescr first then the status of the port, but Nagios takes this as
 being an error state and marks the service as faulted permanently.
 If anyone can understand that, do you know if what I want is possible
 to achieve? :P

Have you looked at http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_int.html ?

I'm at home so can't check for sure but I think it will retrieve the ifDescr.

I've just been looking at this myself.

I'm a bit suspicious about the external_command_check_interval
directive ( see http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html
)

If it's set to -1 (as mine was until recently) then  Nagios will
check external commands as often as possible.  I suspect it helps if
you set it to a definite interval, for example 15s, but check
nagiostats to make sure your command buffers don't fill up.


IME Nagios itself is usually quite light on CPU.  It's the plugins and
how frequently they run which affect performance the most.   I always
set check_interval and retry_interval as long as possible in service
definitions to spread the load as much as possible.

Some plugins can be real performance hogs too, especially
check_esx3.pl if you use that (I don't mean to dis' it, as it's a
super plugin - it just eats cpu).  Run 'top' and you will probably see
which plugins are the biggest hogs on your system.

ndo (the interface with MySQL if you have that installed) can be a
real performance hog.  That's a whole other topic!

If you're using pnp4nagios for graphing performance data, consider
setting it up in bulk mode, ideally on a separate server.  It won't
make a huge difference but might help a bit.

If it's more important to you to stop Nagios hammering your server
than it is for Nagios to work right, you can use max_concurrent_checks
to limit the number of checks Nagios can run at any time.  Keep an eye
on your service check latency if you do that though - if latency gets
too high (more than a minute or so) you will find Nagios' usefulness
diminish quite rapidly!  Personally I think you should give Nagios a
dedicated server and let it use as much CPU as it needs.

Oh, and v3.1.3 includes a fix which improves performance of the status
cgis.  I'm looking forward to trying that myself next week.

Ah, yes, if you have quite a few users, consider setting
refresh_rate in cgi.cfg to a longer time, otherwise everyone who
leaves a status screen open in their browser will hit your Nagios
server every 90 seconds (or whatever value it's set to on your
system).   If I recall I set mine to 180.

I'm not sure if any of this will help you, but hopefully it will give
you an idea or two.

Cheers,

Jim

- Yeah, any other thoughts people have is helpful.  I also tried using
the new:
auto_reschedule_checks=1
auto_rescheduling_interval=30
auto_rescheduling_window=180

Options this morning and with the default it seems to actually be
helping...
One other thing I'll probably do is strip out some macros to reduce
processing overhead for things that
Are static and don't need to be checked every time, like path to
plugins, and such.

[Nagios-users] Notifications and Escalations and Notification_intervals, oh my!

2010-11-19 Thread Mike Neimoyer
Hello, all!

I'm trying to understand how notification intervals work when it comes 
to basic service definitions and serviceescalation definitions. Does 
Nagios disregard the initial notification_interval of a service 
definition, once it reaches an escalation, in favor of the escalation's 
notification_interval?

Example:
I have a service's notification_interval set to 15, so that once a state 
change occurs, a notification is sent out, then another after 15 
minutes, and another after 15 minutes, etc... With Nagios counting the 
notifications as they get sent.

Now, I want to define an escalation for that service so that on 
notification number 2 Nagios notifies a different contact_group.  I have 
the notification_interval for the escalation set to 10 minutes.

How does the notification_interval work in this instance, where the 
period is different?

Thanks!
~~Mike

Hey Mike,

If there is a matching escalation definition that will take precedence
over the service definition. In cases where you have conflicting
notification_interval values that are all valid, Nagios will use the
smallest interval.

Re: [Nagios-users] Change Procs Critical threshold

2010-11-19 Thread Jonathan Wiggins


 
 I have a couple of systems that are reporting critical notifications, that
 when you drill into them, the Service : Total Processes has been
 triggered. Its showing critical process level of 231, 453, for example.
 Which on a production server is nothing really --- my question is, how do
 I change that threshold level to something like 750, or 1500?
 
 Perhaps I'm not searching online for the correct term or using the right
 parlance. Any ideas where this can be modified?
 
 If you have a look at the options for the plugin (hint:  ./plugin
 --help), they will reveal their secrets to you.  :)
 
 Then, using that knowledge, you can adjust your service check to
 use the appropriate values for your environment.
 
 Benny
 

Hey Benny.

I had another question regarding adjusting these thresholds, this time on 
localhost. It regards the Current Load parameter, which is giving me a Critical 
Load average of -- 2.47, 3.43, and 4.06

in localhost.cfg, /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/localhost.cfg, I have this 

define service{
use local-service ; Name of service 
template to use
host_name   localhost
service_description Current Load
check_command   
check_local_load!5.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0
}

which I actually went and adjusted to :

check_command   check_local_load!7.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0  

I restarted the Nagios service..but this didn't have any effect -- the status 
information still reads the same -- Critical Load Average - 2.47, 3.43, 4.06

Is there something else I'm missing?

[Nagios-users] combining more than one status.dat file...

2010-11-19 Thread Ray Kiddy

I have an idea on how to get a sort of distributed nagios to work. It actually 
seems simple. MaybeI am not seeing something. Maybe someone here knows a reason 
this will not work.

I have a nagios server here. It is watching some things in about a dozen data 
centers around the world. There is a nagios running in China and another one 
running in Ankara, as well.

I want to see, in one interface, how all three of these nagios servers see 
things. I think I should be able to take the status.dat here, take the 
status.dat from Ankara (with a _tr added to the service names), take the 
status.dat from China (with a _cn added to the names of the services), and 
put these all three together into the one status.dat file here. I figure I have 
to do it in such a way that I do not get into a race condition with the nagios 
server itself, but other than that, what is the problem with this?

I had asked for this kind of thing before. With our nagios server, we can see 
if the cn servers are up, but we care a lot more about whether the cn servers 
are up for the cn customers. It does not matter how the CN-US link is behaving. 
So, if the cn servers look to be down, but Ankara can see them, we know there 
is no problem.

This just seems to be a really simple way to get this. But, given the 
complexities of some of discussions about this stuff, I am dubious. If it was 
this simple, it would be documented, and even talked about, no? I am sure I am 
not the only one who wants this. Any thoughts?

thanx - ray

Re: [Nagios-users] Change Procs Critical threshold

2010-11-19 Thread C. Bensend

 I had another question regarding adjusting these thresholds, this time on
 localhost. It regards the Current Load parameter, which is giving me a
 Critical Load average of -- 2.47, 3.43, and 4.06

 in localhost.cfg, /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/localhost.cfg, I have this

 define service{
 use local-service ; Name of
 service template to use
 host_name   localhost
   service_description Current Load
 check_command
 check_local_load!5.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0
   }

 which I actually went and adjusted to :

 check_command check_local_load!7.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0

 I restarted the Nagios service..but this didn't have any effect -- the
 status information still reads the same -- Critical Load Average - 2.47,
 3.43, 4.06

From the help for check_load (which I'm assuming you're using
in the command definition):

Usage:check_load [-r] -w WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15 -c CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15

So, in your service definition, you're telling check_load that you
want to trigger a critical condition if the 15 minute average is 4.0.

Yours is 4.06.  So, yes, it's critical.  :)

WLOAD1  = 1 minute average warning threshold
WLOAD5  = 5 minute average warning threshold
WLOAD15 = 15 minute average warning threshold

CLOAD1  = 1 minute average critical threshold
CLOAD5  = 5 minute average critical threshold
CLOAD15 = 15 minute average critical threshold

If you want your 15 minute average to *not* trigger a critical, you
need to adjust that last value (4.0) to something higher.

Re: [Nagios-users] combining more than one status.dat file...

2010-11-19 Thread Rutger Blom
Hi,

I would really suggest you have a look at check_mk and multisite. This
Nagios addon supports having multiple Nagios servers in one management
interface.
