[Nagios-users] Service check goes HARD too quick if multiple service are in problem state
Hi, I have had this problem previously and posted here but not go nowhere with it. Ill have another bash. Basically my nagios machine is checking too frequently and firing out alerts too quickly Its ignoring the retry_interval value, the max_check_attempts value and ingoring the notification_interval value in the escalations. I have check interval of 5 minutes in OK state Retry interval of 3 minutes when in problem state Notification interval of 3 minutes I believe that below is the problem and multiple service checks in problem state at the same time is casuing this. Ive just seen this on 1 of my hosts: It appears its accumulating the service checks (even though they are different checks) into a final HARD state. Prior to 17:18 all was fine on this host!!! Then at 17:18 a SQL check went to warning state and to SOFT 1 Checked again at 17:21 which is the 3 minute interval I have told it too when in problem and its still warning so onto SOFT2 Then a different service check on that host goes critical - but for the first time 17:22 memory usage and it puts this to HARD 3 - even though this actual check for memory should be SOFT1 An alert then got sent straight out for the Memory check even though it was actually only check 1/3 on that particular service Here is the copy and past from the History of the host [01-15-2013 17:18:24] SERVICE ALERT: SERVER;SQL LOCK TIMEOUTS;WARNING;SOFT;1;WARNING - 2.3067 lock timeouts / sec for _Total, 2.0667 lock timeouts / sec for Key, 0. lock timeouts / sec for RID, 0.2400 lock timeouts / sec for Page, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Object, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Metadata, 0. lock timeouts / sec for HoBT, 0. lock timeouts / sec for File, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Extent, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Database, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Application, 0. lock timeouts / sec for AllocUnit [01-15-2013 17:21:24] SERVICE ALERT: SERVER;SQL LOCK TIMEOUTS;WARNING;SOFT;2;WARNING - 1.3056 lock timeouts / sec for _Total, 1.1833 lock timeouts / sec for Key, 0. lock timeouts / sec for RID, 0.1222 lock timeouts / sec for Page, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Object, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Metadata, 0. lock timeouts / sec for HoBT, 0. lock timeouts / sec for File, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Extent, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Database, 0. lock timeouts / sec for Application, 0. lock timeouts / sec for AllocUnit [01-15-2013 17:22:04] SERVICE ALERT: SERVER;MEMORY USAGE;CRITICAL;HARD;3;CRITICAL: physical memory: Total: 10G - Used: 9.81G (98%) - Free: 192M (2%) critical Does anybody please have any idea why my server is checking too frequently and alerting too frequently and why its totting up different service checks?

[Nagios-users] check_nt - MEMORY USAGE - incorrect results
Hi all, Using the supplied check_nt plugin to check Memory Usage on Windows servers. Some report correctly, others report a complete load of old tosh!!! I have tried 3 different versions of Windows OS, the version seems to make no odds. Doesn't matter if 32 or 64 bit either. Some examples MY primary domain controller - Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) - 8GB ram installed Output from the check appears correct: Memory usage: total:8205.64 Mb - used: 2902.96 Mb (35%) - free: 5302.67 Mb (65%) Another 2008 R2 (x64) server box (has SQL installed on it) - 12GB ram installed Output thinks its got 24GB: Memory usage: total:24573.16 Mb - used: 1796.71 Mb (7%) - free: 22776.45 Mb (93%) A Server 2003 Standard (x86) box (an internal test web server) - 512MB ram installed Output thinks its got over 1GB: Memory usage: total:1257.50 Mb - used: 333.30 Mb (27%) - free: 924.20 Mb (73%) A Server 2012 (x64) box (with HyperV installed) - 28GB ram installed Output thinks tis got 32GB: Memory usage: total:32500.80 Mb - used: 16709.37 Mb (51%) - free: 15791.43 Mb (49%) Anybody any ideas as to why check_nt is returning incorrect info. I know its incorrect but Nagios doesn't so where exactly is it reading these values from? Thanks in advance for anybodies input.

I didn't know you could check the CPU status with that plugin.
What is the command definition that you are using?

If so, ever come across this issue before?
Everything works fine apart from 1 server and 1 check.
1 particular Windows 2008R2 server replies its CPU usage as a crazy percentage:
[12-05-2012 14:47:35] SERVICE ALERT: XX;CPU USAGE;CRITICAL;HARD;3;CRITICAL
- CPU busy 194180.74%

[12-05-2012 14:41:35] SERVICE ALERT: XX;CPU USAGE;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL
- CPU busy 233016.89%
When I check the server the CPU isn't even using 10% most of the time.
It does this from the terminal aswell, with nagios user and also root user.
Anybody have any ideas as to what can cause this please?
Many Thanks

[Nagios-users] Nagios is ignoring the retry_interval setting
Hi,
My nagios box has decided to stop listening to the retry_interval entry in my
templates.
My server template reads:
define host{
name host-server
check_period server_24x7
check_interval1
retry_interval3
max_check_attempts3
notification_period server_24x7
notification_interval 3
notification_options d,r
notifications_enabled 1
contact_groupsservers email, servers sms
event_handler_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
obsess_over_host 0
check_freshness 0
flap_detection_enabled 0
failure_prediction_enabled 0
}
Now this is what happens:
* Server goes down at 1pm.
* I check the next scheduled check and it clearly states 1.03pm
* But at 1.01pm it checks again and then spits out an email and text
message saying the server is down.
Completely ignoring the retry_interval setting!!!
Id expect from the above:
* 1pm server goes down
* 1.03pm check 2 is done
* 1.06pm check 3 is done and determined hard state.
* At 1.06pm the notification should be sent out.
Why is this, is something in my config wrong?
Ubuntu 12.04 desktop and Nagios 3.4.1
Thanks

[Nagios-users] Check Website Help
Hi all, I have websites that I monitor. Some require just a yes is it up or no its down by hitting the site and searching for text on it. Others require the site to be logged into and trawled to test SQL backend so I need to provide it with a username/password. I also want performance data as I have just started using PNP4Nagios. I am using a custom written bash script at the moment, and this works fine, however it doesn't output any performance data. I have looked at Webinject but this uses its own graphing tool (gnuplot) and to reduce confusuion I don't really want to run 2 graphing tools. So 2 questions: 1. Is there a plugin available that does all I need above? Or 2. Anybody point me in the right direction in how to add performance data to my already working bash script?

Re: [Nagios-users] Root_partition check not reading correctly
Check out the command lines and the way you are spelling disk/disc as you have
2 different spellings.
command_line$USER1$/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
command_line$USER1$/check_disc -w $ARGS$ -c $ARGS$ -p $ARGS$
Check the actual name of the file in the libexec folder.
Also what is $ARGS$ shouldn’t it be a $ARGnumber$ as you correctly have in the
top example?

Mark you are absolutely spot on.

Andrew,
I don't know that this is it, but you can only acknowledge something that is in
a hard critical state. That is, it has to have hit the threshold of failures
before it is considered in a hard state. The service details should tell you
if it is, but I've had times where I've thought the same thing only to realize
that the service hadn't gotten all the way to a hard state just yet.

[Nagios-users] Does nagios refuse the \ character?
Does Nagios allow \ characters in check commands?
If I run this from the terminal:
Check_mssql_health --servername IP ADDRESS --username domain\\domain user
--password QWERTY --mode connected-users
It connects off to my SQL Database and reports back the connected users.
I have put the following command into my servers.cfg file
# 'check_mssql_health Connected users' command definition
Define command{
Command_name check_sql_connections
Command_line $USER1$/check_mssql_health
--server $HOSTADDRESS$ --username $ARG1$ --password $ARG2$ --mode $ARG3$
And my service description reads:
Define service{
Useservice-sql-server
Host_nameSERVER
Service_descriptionSQL CONNECTION TIME
Check_command check_sql_connections!domain\\domain
user!QWERTY!connected-users!
But when the check runs it outputs with a critical error saying it cant connect
to the database because of a login error and its tried to use domaindomainuser.
It has stripped out the \\
Is this normal behaviour of nagios?
Do I need quotes or something?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Andrew

[Nagios-users] check_mssql_health plugin by consol labs connection issues
Hi all
Ubuntu 11.04 desktop 32 bit
SQL 2005 server
Check_mssql_health-1.5.8.2
Just testing this plugin on 1 of my SQL servers.
Im using the domain admin to test with so I know it has full Windows auth
access.
I have installed the DBD:Sybase package.
If I run from a terminal:
Libexec# ./check_mssql_health --hostname 192.168.1.35 --username domain\\domain
admin --password ABCDE --mode connected-users
Will throw back:
CRITICAL - cannot connect to 192.168.1.35. DBI
connect(';host-192.168.1.35;port=1433','domain\domain user',...) failed: (no
error string) at ./check_mssql_health line 2175
Nothing is logged in the SQL server event log for security logins
So if I try
Tsql -H 192.168.1.35 -p 1433 -U domain\\domain user -P ABDCE
It returns
Locale is en_GB.UTF-8
Locale charset is UTF-8
1
If I then type in
1SELECT COUNT (*) FROM master..sysprocesses WHERE spid 51
2go
It replies with
11
(1 row affected)
1
My SQL server event log also shows a successful security connection for the
domain account from my nagios box IP.
So connection fine its fine during testing with tsql
But with the check_mssql_health script it says it cannot connect.
Part of the script around line 2175 reads
if ($self-{handle} = DBI-connect(
$self-{dsn},
$self-{username},
$self-{password},
{RaiseError = 1, AutoCommit = 0, PrintError = 1 })) {
$retval = $self;
I have changed the entry in /etc/freetds/freetds.conf to read
[global]
# TDS protocol version
# tds version = 8.0
Can anybody help me further with this?
cheers

[Nagios-users] Exclude Notifications during certian hours
Hi all, I have all my servers (approx. 70) monitored by PING using the 24x7 time period and notifications set to 24x7. Im happy with this as I want to know when my servers go down at all times as a lot are critical and under strict SLA's. However I have the need to exclude notifications for 1 physical host and 6 virtual hosts that sit on this physical host during the hours of 00:30-06:30 every night. These machines are not under any SLA and often reboot during the night for various reasons and I'm done with waking up at all hours for these non-critical servers! What is the quickest way for me to exclude these 7 hosts from notifying during these hours whilst leaving all other servers at 24x7? Ive had a read the nagios docs but it didn't really help me as I didn't really understand it. I have edited my server.cfg to show the scenario I want to achieve and that can be found at the link below. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/895609/servers.cfg The layout etc is identical to my live configs, I have just edited the number of hosts/names/contacts etc (the 3 hosts named NOT CRITICAL are the example for the 7 hosts I first talked about) What is the quickest and most effective way for me to keep checking ALL my servers 24x7 and notifying 24x7, BUT exclude 7 particular servers from checks/notifications between 00:30-06:30 every night?

If I enable host and service alerts for the disk check command I get host alerts to say that the host is DOWN (which it isn’t its CRITICAL) My test disk_check config file is located at the below link, thought it be best to provide the whole lot rather than snippets. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/895609/disk_space_test.cfg Can anybody explain why I don’t get any service alerts when the host goes CRITICAL and how I can get them please without having host alerts enabled as I don’t want them for my disk check commands Thankyou in advance -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

[Nagios-users] Nofification Anomaly
Hi all,
I have a strange notification problem that I cant seem to get to the bottom of.
In a nut shell I am using escalations to limit the amount of notifications for
any given host to 5.
Host Down notification 1 comes via form of Email and Text
Then I have Not 2-5 if down to come via email
If it recovers between 2-5 it will email and text.
The email works fine in all scenarios but I have a text message issue in the
sense it doesn't send out a text message if notification 2 is a recovery text!
Nagios doesn't even seem to run the notify by SMS command!
Any other notification number is fine but just not notification number 2 being
a recovery text!
I know above is a bit gargled so an example of my following notification
escalations may make it a bit clearer.

[Nagios-users] Scheduled downtime for mass hosts?
Hi all, Tonight I will be forming maintenance on over 50 of my servers and will be taking firewall and routing links out. I have 86 hosts that this will affect. Im going to put them into scheduled downtime in Nagios. I have my hosts divided into hostgroups. Is there a quick way to schedule all 86 hosts into Nagios downtime rather than having to click on each host in the web GUI and doing them individually?

[Nagios-users] Scheduled downtime for mass hosts?
Ah Benny, I didn't know you could schedule maintenance for each individual host group I have my 86 hosts arranged into 4 hostgroups so I will just do this. 4 clicks and job done, thought I was in for the long haul by clicking all 86 hosts 1 by 1.

[Nagios-users] Gammu SMS Daemon writes Nagios text alerts to MYSQL but they dont get sent out to mobile!
Hi all, I know this is a Nagios support list but my question it more a Gammu, MYSQL and Nagios combination help that I am after. Software: Gammu 1.28 MYSQL Server Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 32bit Nokia 6021 via USB cable Nagios 3.3.1 I have got everything working but 1 thing. Nagios uses: /usr/bin/printf ***NAGIOS ALERT*** \n\n $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\n$HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ | /usr/bin/gammu-smsd-inject TEXT $CONTACTPAGER$ Nagios writes the text alerts to the Outbox table of the database as it should. But that's where they stay; the daemon doesn't forward them out of the DB to the recipients phone! If I change the command line a little and tell Nagios to use this: /usr/bin/printf ***NAGIOS ALERT*** \n\n $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\n$HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT $CONTACTPAGER$ The phone sends any Nagios text alerts staright to the correct mobile phones so I know sending through the phone works fine. These are my Gammu relevant setups I have a smsd.conf file in /etc/init directory to try and keep the daemon alive #smsd # #This service maintains the SMS Daemon from the point the system is started until it is shut down again Description SMSD DAEMON Start on runlevel [2345] Stop on runlevel [016] Respawn Exec /usr/local/bin/smsd.sh Script in /usr/local/bin/smsd.sh #! /bin/sh Export LANG=en_US /usr/bin/gammu-smsd MYSQL /etc/gammu-smsdrc My gammu-smsdrc content: [gammu] Port = /dev/ttyUSB0 Connection = fbus Model = 6021 [smsd] Service = MYSQL Commtimeout = 10 Sendtimeout = 30 Recievefrequency = 30 Deliveryreport = log User = root Password = xx Pc = 127.0.0.1 Database = Nagios_Text If I run /sbin/initctl start smsd it replies with smsd start/running, process Then if straight away I run /sbin/initctl status smsd it replies with smsd stop/waiting Is this correct or is this the reason the messages never leave the DB? Somebody offer me any assistance on getting those messages out the DB - im so close, yet so far!!

Thanks for the suggestion Seon, Its all sorted now - my phone automatically chages Nagios in the url to a capital N. Changed it to lower case and my phone now checks in with Nagios.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Core and SMS alerts (or lack of) through Nagios
Hi all,
Im at my wits end.
Spent 2 days now trying to get Nagios to SMS me through gnokii but a lunar
eclipse is a more frequent event!
So i have Ubuntu 11.04 installed using postfix to email me alerts (works
flawlessly)
Now i also want a text message as a failover incase my Exchange server or
internet line goes down.
I have installed and configured gnokii to what i think is at a functioning
level.
I have a Nokia 6301 mobile hooked up to Ubuntu via USB cable.
I can send a text message out through the phone via the CLI no issue at all
with both my admin user logged in and also when i log in as the nagios user so
i know i have the correct permissions on the ttyACM0 port that is assigned to
the 6301.
Will Nagios send an SMS - will it f*£$!!
Here is my command.cfg relevant part
# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/printf %.120s * Nagios * $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$:
Host $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$
}
# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/printf %.120 * Nagios *
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms
$CONTACTPAGER$
}
Here is my contact.cfg
define contact{
contact_name MYNAME
use generic-contact
alias MYNAME
host_notification_options d,u,r,f
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f
email MYEMAIL
pager +44X
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email,notify-host-by-sms
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email,notify-service-by-sms
Here is my templates.cfg
define contact{
name generic-contact
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email, notify-service-by-sms
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email, notify-host-by-sms
register 0
}
what can be going on - why will nagios not SMS me? Its got to be a nagios
config issue and not gnokii error as I can send text through CLI fine,
Please help me, im going insane
Thanks
Kind Regards
