[Nagios-users] custom notifications for specific service groups
Dear community, I am trying to figure out how to satisfy infrastructure team supporting servers. Their request is two split services into two groups core and applications. In the core group the following services would be nested: CPU load Memory utilization Storage and in the applications groups they would like to see the following: Citrix sessions Citrix licences They have segregated duties within the team for OS,HW and for application part. They would need Nagios to send appropriate notification to OS team and the same for application team. Now, AFAIK if a contact is linked to the host then the notifications for all its services are sent out. So my question is if is there any way how to split notifications on the same host so that OS team will never receive notification for Application team and vice versa? thanks in advance for your help Michal -- Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.

[Nagios-users] check_http and authentication
I have 2 Nagios instances at the moment. On one I am using the chck_http pluging version 1.4.13, and on the other I have version 1.4.14. On both systems I am check agains Server Tecnology PDU's.

[Nagios-users] check_http with auth issue
Hi, We're having problems with Nagios3 (3.2.0) reporting 'HTTP WARNING HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized' for check_http queries to a several switched CDUs of the same type. All these CDUs have HTTP Server = enabled, Authentication= Basic. Running check_http from the command line returns an OK status: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -I ppcr23ps1 --authorization=user:passwd HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 763 bytes in 0.267 seconds check_http is reporting OK status for all the other devices we're checking from this Nagios3 server. This Nagios3 server is an internal server in a distributed nagios configuration, and we have 1 identical CDU configured on the main nagios server outside the firewall (the external nagios is 3.1.0). The check_http on the Nagios 3.1.0 server (external) does not give the WARNING 401 Unauthorized message. It displays HTTP OK HTTP 1.1 200 OK. To verify that the CDU config was not the problem or the firmware version wasn't the problem on the 2 new CDUs being configd for the internal server, we added the external CDU (already reporting OK on nagios 3.1.0) to the Nagios3 configuration did a check_http. Like the other 2 units, the command line reports HTTP OK but nagios displays the 401 warning. We've run from the command line check_http -v and it's identical on both servers (everything is OK). However, the header on the devices that do not get the 401 warning start with a Server: descrip and Connection: close before the Content-Type CDU: STATUS: HTTP/1.1 200 OK HEADER Content-Type: text/html (the rest of the header info follows) All other devices: STATUS: HTTP/1.1 200 OK HEADER Server: Embedded Web Server(or whatever server description per device) Connection: close Content-Type: text/html (the rest of the header info follows) Any ideas why it works on 3.1.0 and not 3.2.0?

We have several CNAME entries for different names for some of our hosts. We were using a host definition that included the IP address. Then we switched to a host definition that was using the DNS name only. Also, be careful of certain characters in your password digest. If an ampersand appears in the password digest (and they seem to pop up about 1/3 of the time), you have to protect it with a backslash. We were running the check_http command the same way, but were of course putting single-quotes around the password digest and, gee, there is no problem. These may not be your issue, but they may point you to something else. Good luck. cheers - ray check_http is reporting OK status for all the other devices we're checking from this Nagios3 server.
