[Nagios-users] servicedependency problem

2011-01-27 Thread Gaertner, Joern
Hi,

I have a problem with servicedendencies.

My config looks like this:

define servicedependency {
host_name  s.test.com
execution_failure_criteria w,c,u
service_descriptionfunctionality_LB
dependent_service_description  functionality_cl1
notification_failure_criteria  w,c,u
dependent_hostgroup_name   hg_test
}

If I am not wrong this should translate to:

Do always functionality_LB on s.test.com. If functionality_LB is in state w,c,u 
do functionality_cl1 on hg_test but  not if functionality_LB is in state OK.

But it doesn't work.

functionality_LB is in state OK.

If I go in the web frontend on the details for check functionality_cl1 I can 
see the last check is always less than 3 min ago and new cheks are always 
scheduled.

Does anyone know what is going wrong here?

Thanks

Jörn

Good Morning,



the nagios version is 3.0.6.



Thanks a lot for the hint! Now it works with:

execution_failure_criteria o
notification_failure_criteria  n



Quite tricky in my case was the fact that there have been other dependencies 
for the same service checks trickering its execution.



I think the service depencies can really be a nightmare.



Is there any better way to view them apart from the config dependency view in 
the webfrontend?



Thanks



Jörn

Jorn,
You haven't mentioned which version of Nagios is running so I'll assume it's 
3.2.0 which is the same as mine...

I think I'd translate your servicedependency definition differently :-

If functionality_LB is in w,c,u state don't do functionality_cl1 because
funcationality_cl1 relies on functionality_LB to be in a non warning,critical 
or unknown state for functionality_cl1 to work ?


define servicedependency {
host_name  s.test.com
service_descriptionfunctionality_LB  --- Parent
dependent_service_description  functionality_cl1 --- Child
execution_failure_criteria w,c,u
notification_failure_criteria  w,c,u
dependent_hostgroup_name   hg_test
}

Think of a parent-child relationship where a child check should only run if 
the parent is running ok. And if the parent is in a specific state (w,c,u) 
surpress the child check and also notifications. So functionality_LB is the 
parent and functionality_cl1 is the child in your case.

Hope that helps / makes sense.

Regards,
Deborah

Re: [Nagios-users] comparing nagios and zenoss

I think this is one good reason:

Subject: [Nagios-users] comparing nagios and zenoss

 

My boss wants me to compare nagios and zenoss for monitoring our network. 
Hopefully soon I will be able to set up some vms to test them out side by side. 
Unfortunately, I still don't have sufficient access rights to install 
virtualization software due to bureaucracy at my new employer. For this reason 
I probably won't be able to test it out until next week.

 

In the meantime, for those of you nagios users who have used zenoss, how do you 
compare the two and why do you prefer/choose one over the other?

 

Most e-mail threads I have seen discussing the two start with I haven't used 
zenoss but I really love Nagios.  For this reason, I am particularly 
interested to hear from people that have used both.

 

thanks

 

Bryan

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications problem?!?

2010-10-14 Thread Gaertner, Joern
This is the normal procedure we handle checks (if they are important) 
- work hours - sms + email 
- off work hours - email

But for this check the customer doesn't want to read emails first in the 
morning to know if there were issues - he wants a sms if there was a 
notification over night and if so he will read his emails.

That's unfortunately the requirement ...


Cheers

Joern

 Is there an elegant solution of this problem in any of your minds?

Send the notifications out-of-hours by email.  The user will pick up the email 
when they login in the morning!

I'm sorry if that sounds a bit trite, but I've thought the same thing myself in 
the past and then thought duh!
