Re: [Nagios-users] Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing
Hi I haven't researched this or anything, but is there is a -v option to
check_by_ssh to get the exact error thrown? - I'm simply wondering if you have
a bad/mismatched key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts or authorized_keys (sorry, ive been

Greetings, all. I've googled the subject above and evaluated the answers I've
found but haven't yet found info that pinpoints my issue.
I'm running Nagios Core 3.2.1 on RedHat 5.8. This installation has been running
for a few years, I just inherited it's care and maintenance recently. On one of
my monitored servers I write a script checkRAID.sh that calls another piece
of code, looks at the results, and returns either a 0 or a 2 (the result will
always be either good or critical, depending on whether the RAID controller is
unhappy).
Nagios runs as user nagios. The remote machine is configured to allow user
nagios to log in without a password, using a key pair. This works.
In /usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg I have :
define command{
command_namecheck_raid
command_line/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTNAME -l
nagios -i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -E -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -C
/home/nagios/checkRAID.sh
}
When I become nagios (su - nagios) and run that script, I get:
[nagios@nagios ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_by_ssh -H remote server IP
-l nagios -i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -E -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -C
/home/nagios/checkRAID.sh
Check failed
[nagios@nagios ~]$ echo $?
2
[nagios@nagios ~]$
That Check failed line is what's written to stdout just before returning an
exit code of 2. This shows me that the remote script is working fine, and that
the local nagios user is able to execute it with no problems. However, once I
add an entry to services.cfg to tie this service check to my remote host and
give it time to run the command, when I look at nagios' Services page it
shows :
check_raid CRITICAL 06-10-2013 21:17:250d 6h 14m
29s3/3 (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)
This has me baffled. The return code is quite clearly 2.
I recently set debug_level to -1 and restarted. I'm hoping that the debug log
will

Re: [Nagios-users] Variables for determining time before first alert
Hi, I apologize for the terse reply, but I think you will find all the answers to your questions here - http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html Cheers, James From: Alex [mysqlstud...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2013 8:57 PM To: Nagios Users List Subject: [Nagios-users] Variables for determining time before first alert Hi all, I'm trying to configure a nagios server that was set up a long time ago, but has never worked correctly. I'm trying to understand all the variables that are involved in controlling the time before the first notify-by-email alert is sent for a regular service and one that I've configured as critical. Is max_check_attempts the number of iterations it will perform the host/service check for each iteration of the check_interval period? In other words, if I set max_check_attempts to 5, and my interval_length is 60, does that mean it's 5 minutes before the first soft failure is generated? How does the notification_interval in the regular service definition compare with the notification_interval specified in one of the serviceescalation sections? In other words, if I set notification_interval to 10 minutes for regular services, and notification_interval to 5 minutes for escalated services, will I receive two notifications? I realize I could try this, but there seems to be so many other variables involved that I'd like to be sure my understanding is correct.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios + memory usage + SNMP
If you are monitoring Linux, I would suggest this one, from the same page I
directed you –
define command{
command_name check_linux_snmp_proc
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_process -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER15$ -2
-n $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
}
(Run the command interactively for all the necessary arguments, or see the web
page - it’s pretty straightforward).

Re: [Nagios-users] how to associate /bin/bash with shell script in Nagios
I'm slightly confused - Do you have #!/bin/bash in the top of your shell
script, and is it set to be executable by (at least) the nagios user? (Not
sure why you are calling bash then the script name as an arg, that is odd to
me, but maybe I'm missing something)?
Cheers,

Subject: [Nagios-users] how to associate /bin/bash with shell script in Nagios
Hello,
I have the following command:
define command{
command_namedlg_notifications
command_line/bin/bash /usr/local/nagios/libexec/nagios-msg-broker.sh
}
And the following service
define service{
use mypc
service_description
dlg_Alerts_notifications
check_command dlg_notifications
max_check_attempts 1
retain_status_information0
retain_nonstatus_information0
}
/bin/bash /usr/local/nagios/libexec/nagios-msg-broker.sh
runs fine manually.
Service defined above can't run it though.
While googling around, I found out that apparently Nagios does not know that
script should be executed by /bin/bash
How would I let Nagios know about /bin/bash
Thanks.
Mikhail.

Re: [Nagios-users] how to associate /bin/bash with shell script in Nagios
Ok, so it's working fine when you run it from the command line, but not for
nagios user, correct? (If it's a shell script, nagios will execute it using the
proper interpreter, so there is no way to tell nagios to use bash if that
makes sense)?
I usually su - nagios user, then try and run it from that user account - that's
usually where the problem is, it runs fine for root or whoever, but fails for
the nagios user for whatever reason...

Sorry, I also remembered you can add an -x to the end of the #!/bin/bash
line and it will execute in verbose mode - it's a bit noisy, but it may help
figure out where/why it's failing.

Re: [Nagios-users] how to associate /bin/bash with shell script in Nagios
Yes I agree with Ed as well on the remote stuff -
And yes, the *nix OS determines what shell/program (eg perl/bash/sh/zsh etc) to
execute the script with by the shebang line in the top of the file, and whether
or not it's executable.
I would definitely try and execute it as the nagios user - that is all that is
left in your case it seems (?)

If this is run on a remote host using nrpe this what I would check:
- type which bash on the remote host and make sure the path matches what's in
your script.
- verify your nrpe.cfg has an entry in it for your script I.e check_myscript
- verify on the master that check commands matches the remote entry

Actually I verified that this script runs fine manually using default (Bourne)
shell too.
So now I have #!/bin/sh in the beginning of my script and it still is not
being picked up by service.
And I restart Nagios to initiate the service attempt.
Do you refer to Bourne shell (#!/bin/sh ) in this part of your explanation:
“ (If it's a shell script, nagios will execute it using the proper interpreter,
so there is no way to tell nagios to use bash if that makes sense)?”
If you do, and since I still can’t initiate the script should I su - nagios

And responding to Edwin’s question, it is on local host.

Re: [Nagios-users] how to associate /bin/bash with shell script in Nagios
ok it's really very simple - find the exact command definition string you want to execute in your commands.cfg, and su - nagios (as root) and then interactively (like actually type it right?) the same exact command that the command definition is attempting to execute as the nagios user, and see if it works - Note, this is only to debug, or test your configuration - you do not want to setup your script to su - nagios or anything like that ... sorry if i was not clear on that - what you want to do is mimic exactly the command nagios is attempting to execute, that is all, it's just for testing. if you can figure out why that is not working as the nagios user (This is the account the nagios program runs as right?), then that is where your problem is, so i'm sorry - it's not a solution, it's only the best way to find your problem, as that is the apparent issue - as you say - it runs correctly otherwise.

Re: [Nagios-users] How to schedule weekly service check.
Hi. Sorry it's not working for you - from below, i am deducing you have it
setup to check every 2 minutes, from 11am-5pm, only on Mondays. Is this correct?
Can you post your host definition, and maybe the command template for
template_TEST/TEST_CMD, as I'm not sure why it's not recurring after check 1.
Btw, i was under the assumption you only wanted it to actually run a check once
per week, perhaps I am missing what you are really trying to accomplish, sorry.
Thanks,
Jamie

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring an EMC Celerra

I have traps set up, but I much prefer active checks whenever possible. Problem is, EMC support says the Celerra isn't capable of allowing gets. I've heard and suspected otherwise, so I thought I'd check the list to see if anyone's made the necessary config changes to allow gets. I think it should be a matter of changing /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, but has anyone tried? Thanks, Erik Larkin --- I guess having skipped bothering to implement this at our site, i look at this a different sort of way, and ask - are you attempting to monitor the celerra 's datamover via the CS (Control station?), or directly against the dm(s)? I'm not sure what you wish to monitor either - the celerras have some pretty good internal alerting configs if you dig around ... at least they have worked fine for us. what are you attempting to do specifically , like monitor just health / temp stuff, or filesystem/share usage etc etc? I'm also curious because i use SNMP gets here extensively, just never bothered against the celerra... cheers, James -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

This is the way we do it, with Parents (not host dependencies). Hi Steve, been following this with great interest. Care to share how you do host dep's too?, this is all very helpful, thank you! :) First we create a virtual object for the VMWare farm. This has a status of UP if any of the farm servers are up (using check_summary). This virtual 'host' has several services, using the v0.9 check_vmware, relating to the farm's alarms, storage volumes, etc. These services have service dependencies on the VirtualCentre service running on the Virtual Centre host. The Farm object has ALL of the ESX Servers as Parents. So ultimately, the Farm object definition would be: the vcenter server (with esx hosts as parents?), combined with a service check on the vcenter service? Not familiar with check_summary, sorry, that's next up to google. ;) All the VMs in the farm have the Farm object as a parent. Some of them also use check_esx3 to alert on Alarms, CPU, and Memory usage within VMWare. This might seem a bit complex if you've only the one server, but as soon as oyu have multiple servers in the farm, and use DRS, you have to use a farm object for parents/dependencies. Yes, I feel that pain well. How can/do you keep track of what ESX hosts are parents to what vm's when DRS is in fully-automated mode, that seems to be the key... ? It might make more sense for these relationships to be host dependencies rather than parents i nmost cases, but we have a SAN mirrored environment to a seocnd ESX farm so that the VMs can be brought up ther ein the event of a complete farm outage, hence the use of Parents rather than dependencies. If you have VSphere4 (ESX4.0) with a SNMP-enabled Cisco virtual switch in the farm, you could probably make the virtual switch the parent device rather than having to use a farm object. The VMWare monitoring plugin we're using is v0.9 of check_vmware, from here: http://www.steveshipway.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28t=1648 check_summary is available from nagiosexchange.org (as is check_esx3 which is the forerunner of check_vmware) Steve Excellent - off to have a look. We use a combination of things at the moment, including check_esx3 and also use python/WBEM snmp on HP hardware. Thanks much!

Hello,
Thanks for the replies Mark and James.
How would I find out what package i've installed to provide the

I have 'sensors' now appearing in my Nagios admin, and it is
reporting as 'sensors

Below are my command and service definitions. Do you know of any

}
define service {
use local-service
host_name webserver
service_description sensors
check_command check_sensors

Kind regards,

Depends on your linux distro - if you have RPM, then it would be
(replace mysql with your sensors binary path/name) -
# rpm -qf /usr/bin/mysql
mysql-3.23.52-3
Sorry, but I don't know apt-get, so perhaps someone else can tell you
about that one if you are on debian/ubuntu etc.

The kicker is they want to be able to reach it without any htpasswd so multiple htpasswords and authorization_for_system_commands is not an option. I'm thinking the only practical method to accomplish this is to somehow mirror the install elsewhere. One idea was a cronjob that ran a wget hitting the status cgi and dumping it somewhere on the same machine. This still tends to have authentication queries embedded in it. Another option might be another install on the same server, different port, no authentication and perhaps rsync'ing data from the master. Has anyone set up anything like this before?

Therefore, if more than one calling program needs to access the called programs, duplicate copies of the called programs must be loaded in memory.

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin problem
Hello Natalie.

(Quiscustodiet ipsos custodes?) I am a Nagios user, not the administrator. We are running Nagios 2.9 on RHEL 4 or 5. Overall, 200+ hosts with 3000 services being monitored. I have access for monitoring a smaller number of hosts. * ok, understood... In another posting, I alluded to an issue where a host had gone down but no alert was sent out. The issue surfaced again today and as was done the other time, Nagios was restarted to fix the problem.

Is there something not set right? * Understanding your setup and the way nagios works is how you ensure it stands up... a mis-config sounds likely, but who knows... Are other Nagios administrators restarting Nagios on a weekly or nightly basis to keep it on the job? * Heck no! That's why we run it on Linux or Solaris! :) Is this an issue specific to Nagios 2.9? Was 2.9 a spotty version? *Not to my knowledge - all stable releases have worked very reliably here, especially 2.9 now that I look back... For a given host, why would active checks be enabled, yet N/A appears in the Next Active Check field? * RTM - host checks are not always performed unless service checks fail, and since I've been a manual-slacker myself, that may not even be the true correct answer (Marc? :) Thanks for any help. -Tom Kustner- * Not to sound negative/condescending or anything like that, but your install will truly only work as well as you have maintained it/understand it. You should really look at your current config files and read the manual on 2.9, or upgrade to 3.x and again rtm...

One of our admins is actively migrating us from Server 2003 to Server 2008 and using the built-in clustering capabilities of '08 to enable service-level failover. So far, he's done so with Exchange, print server services, and SQL. I'm wondering how to best monitor shares resources on Windows hosts from Nagios. At present, we use nsclient++ to watch the physical servers. This is good for basic checks of load average, memory, local disk consumption, etc. I can even monitor services that are running. No, I know I can monitor anything that's accessible from an IP and port, but I'm somwhat stumped on other resources... For example, we have two physical Exchange servers. They're in a cluster and the various Exchange services are only active on one node at a time. I can watch OWA as its accessible from an IP and port, but the Exchange services themselves will stop on one server and start on the other if a server fails. Nagios can't dynamically adjust to watch this service on the new node. It will only yell that's its down on the failed node. Clustered file storage is another example. Again, I can watch the local CPU, memory, and local C: drive, etc. But let's say its sharing a large volume as drive F:. I can watch this fine on the primary node, but if it fails over, its no longer accessible from that node as its being shared on the new active node. I'm curious if any Nagios users are using clustered resources on the Windows side and how you handle service failover of services that aren't necessarily accessible by IP and port... -- A.

I absolutely agree with Frank - you can *really* mess up an RPM-based distro by using CPAN if you are not VERY careful what you do, so do so at your own risk! :\ (if you *must* use packages required by CPAN - instead, try and figure out how to add 3rd party repos such as rpmforge etc, as there is almost always an RPM pre-built by Dag Wiers or other package maintainers that you can use and keep your system sane instead).

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_snmp_storage plugin - 126 return code
Not sure what's wrong, seems simple enough. I am using the following
as
a guide on this plugin
(http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_commands.html#storage)
From the command line on the nagios server I can get it to work;
perl check_snmp_storage.pl -H x.x.x.x -C community -m / -w 90 -c 95 -r
/: 67%used(99233MB/147706MB) (90%) : OK
I have the following 2 things setup.. in commands.cfg;
define command{
command_name check_snmp_storage
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_storage.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -m
$ARG1$
-w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ $ARG4$
}
And the server has the following;
define service{
use local-service
host_name cs0
service_description Root / partition
check_command check_snmp_storage!/!90!95!-r
}
Just a shot in the dark, but you are missing the -C community in your
command definition above in commands.cfg. Could that be your issue?
Also, try running the same check as the nagios user via :
su - nagios -c command to test here
and see if you get the same result/126 return code...
hth,
jamie

Re: [Nagios-users] Fwd: Apache Server configuration for Nagios 3.0
Hi - sounds like your issue is that the generic make install in nagios src tries to drop a file called nagios.conf into httpd's (usually the default) location, /etc/httpd/conf.d/, which, appears does not exist on your server... If you can find what directory your apache uses for /etc/httpd/conf.d/ you can manually copy and paste whatever is in nagios.conf (the one trying to be installed from nagios src dir) into your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (You can likely disregard the apache2.conf stuff - sounds like they used their own file naming, as the default is normally httpd.conf) - Apache itself is very flexible, there are many ways to configure it - nagios simply guesses you are using redhat, so it tries to drop it's httpd config into /etc/httpd/conf.d) HTH ...

Also, are your drives mapped as persistent, as I'm not positive the user running the script would see them either way if not logged on interactively. Can you use UNC pathing instead? Ie \\machine\share$ ? That should work if the user has rights, and you won't have to deal with the mapped drive issue(s) .

ok, I am closer, but still unclear on the check_command and the define
service part (I
will try to read more 2nt) but I can run in manually as nagios from
the cli;
./check_snmp_load.pl -H 1.1.1.1 -C community -w 3,3,2 -c 4,4,3 -T
netsl Load : 4.37
4.27 4.20 : 4.37 4 : CRITICAL 4.27 4 : CRITICAL 4.20 3 :
CRITICAL
so that works. Now in the command.cfg I have the following;
define command{
command_name check_snmp_load_v1
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $USER7$ -T
$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ $ARG4$ -C community }
and the server.cfg I have;
define service{
use local-service ; Name
of service$
host_name bigbird
service_description Current Load via SNMP
check_command
check_snmp_load_v1!netsl!3,3,2!4,4,3
}
I have played numerous times, that is the latest, I am trying to
understand where the
$ARG variables are defined (and how). I assume the $HOSTADDRESS is
just by the
server.cfg file, but not sure on $USER7$ as well as push the other
$ARG$ one's,
becuase as you see from the cli hand entering the info it works!
Yes, $HOSTADDRESS$ that is used by commands.cfg is defined in the
service definition as 'host_name'
$ARG1$, $ARG2$, etc are just that - in your definition above, $ARG1$ =
netsl , $ARG2$ = 3,3,2 $ARG3$ = 4,4,3 (and so on)..
(Not sure why you cannot execute it via nagios but can do so by hand -
try running it as the nagios user using su - nagios -c command here
Hth..

Hi Joseph -
Check that nagios user can execute it at the command line like this:
su - nagios -c /full/path/to/check_command -and -parms -go -here
if it returns nothing, check the perms on the check_esx_wbem.py file ,
if they are 755 or better, I would look at why nagios can't run

I would pick the ones that are the most likely to go awry, and focus on monitors for them. You can always write bat files to check for process (or lack of one) via nrpe - the nrpe_nt windows stuff had some good examples last time I checked - they are not that complicated and quite flexible, you just have to ensure you send nrpe_nt the proper exit code based on the problem/symptom... (This is assuming you meant processes, and not processors , as that would be hardware).. ;) Cheers, Jamie -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
Re: [Nagios-users] Centreon
From: Martyn [mailto:mar...@chetnet.co.uk] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 11:03 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Centreon Have any of you got Centreon working with Nagios, I just followed their Wiki guide and it has messed my up. Going to try and delete all the .cfg files it created in my Nagios and replace my nagios.cfg to see if I can get back up and running again Martyn --- I installed it and had it working a year or so ago - I found it to be quite invasive and it changed/messed up my cfg's as well, and then was a total nightmare to uninstall... I had to do a find / | grep centreon and then piped it out to xargs rm -rf so it would delete everything with centreon in it found... (Maybe it's better now, but it doesn't sound it!)... :| Cheers jamie -- Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
