Re: [Nagios-users] How many hosts and services are you monitoring with Nagios?
We're monitoring around 1000 hosts and 4700 services. We are using the last version of Opsview Community like Simon although his setup sounds a bit more fault tolerant. We have 1 master server with about 30 slave servers monitoring various remote sites. Easy of distributed setup was what won us over to Opsview several years ago but as they moved the distributed version to the enterprise commercial edition I am starting to pay attention again to the different variants of Nagios out there. Also centralized web based configuration front end was another huge plus as engineers don't have to understand Nagios to setup hosts. The racoon setup sounds like some good stuff.

Impressive :) We're monitoring ~2000 hosts and ~1 services, every 5 minutes. Architecture used: OPSView Community edition, the last free version before it started to make the distributed version commercial :/ Two central servers (active/standby - drbd) as single point for management and collecting all passive checks executed by the slave servers. Performance data saved into rrd files as well on an external BIG database server. Configuration resides on a cluster MySQL installation (drbd). 4 slave datacenter installations with 2 servers per datacenter in active/active load balancing. Traps handling supported on all servers with rules logic. Pros: - Open Source: at least until version 3 - for our setup. Simple single instance with fewer functions available as well on version 4. - Easy to manage: the prupose was to create monitoring system and then let the management to other people with less technical skills - distributed setup - RBAC Disadvantages: - no longer Open Source: see above - Central server suffering on cpu by GUI implementation and other bg jobs - Not all nagios parameters editable as we like: i.e. cannot customize same checks with different intervals without having to re-create new ones. Think on HTTP service on servers with different loads and the need to extend the retries on high load servers. no way expect creating HTTP and HTTP High Load services. Maybe there are more pros (and disadvantages), but it's not the right place. BTW I'll look forward to wait for this solution; seems interesting!

With our custom-built distributed Nagios-based monitoring system, we are currently monitoring 18000+ hosts every 5 minutes and 100k+ active services (plenty of passive services in addition to the actives) every 5 mins as well. We collect performance data from every check as well and pass that on to a highly distributed and scalabe time-series data warehouse another team in our organization has built (which is why we have the 5 min interval requirement) We also do trap ingest using SNMPTT with a few custom mods, but not going to include those numbers as they never have required the optimizations the polling has required. This isn't a monolithic instance, we have 6 projects using instances of our distributed Nagios-based software, called Racon (soon my manager will give our team to package it as open source - so I hear at least). We built it on core Nagios with a custom database layer based on a very very early version of Merlin's database abstraction layer (thank you Andreas!) - we have a custom client/server network-based notification framework in use (we will release that as well) along with a custom NEB/perl based client-server framework (also releasable, just need time scheduled) for sending and processing performance data - the performance and notification framework are both horizontally scalabe and network fault tolerant.

[Nagios-users] Nagios based distributed monitoring systems out there?
This is not entirely Nagios related, more nagios backend architecture related. We had been a long time user of Opsview Community Edition. We were monitoring multiple sites so we were drawn in by Opsview's ease of distributed server setup. Unfortunately Opsview is dropping distributed monitoring from the community edition (a point brought up by Opsview sales when they contacted us about buying enterprise). I now am stuck with a system monitoring 1000 hosts across different locations with a no low cost upgrade path under Opsview. What my company ultimately decides to do is not entirely up to me but I was curious if other nagios based monitoring systems handled a reverse tunnel master/slave distributed model as well as Opsview used to?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios based distributed monitoring systems out there?
what you mean by reverse tunnel master/slave distributed model, So you have master server - that presents the master web interface - controls configs for everything -sends out notifications Slave servers are placed at remote locations to do active polling and results are returned to the master. Slave servers initiate ssh session to master and open up reverse tunnel back to itself. So data from slaves comes in via port 22, config data is pushed out to slaves over reverse ssh port. The cool thing is we don't have to deal with opening up ssh on a bunch of remote networks. As long as SSH is allowed out from remote networks and we allow in SSH from the remote networks everything just works. Other distributed setups I had seen had to have direct ssh access out from master to slave. Opsview Community edition was really a great value, but the move to enterprise edition would be a big cost increase, so I figured it was worth asking about distributed setup in other nagios based products.

[Nagios-users] Has anyone written plugin to monitor IIS App Worker Process Size ?
I'm running NSClient++ on some of my web servers and I was looking for ideas on how you might monitor IIS worker process size. We host a number of websites and periodically we will discover one the worker processes has grown pretty big. I am looking for a method to track largest memory usage amongst IIS worker processes on Windows 2008 server. I have some ideas on how to script the check but my solution would have privileged account dump process information to a text file and the plugin would just be a perl script to parse the text files.

Re: [Nagios-users] Quick Question About Nagiostats Utility
To answer your question, we dump perfdata using perfparse to a central mysql database for trending and analysis. As you mentioned there are several good graphical trending tools out there but having the data in a relational database gives us a good bit of flexibility about how that data is used and presented. I can make quick work of creating a perl wrapper script to format the output I just was wanting to find out if the max service latency returned by nagiostats was based on a 5 minute average or not.

[Nagios-users] snmp community option in host definition?
I am faced with the potential of having to monitor different remote networks with primariliy custom perl based snmp checks. The tricky part of this is that different networks may have different SNMP community names. While I could create different service definitions for each different community name or build logic in the script to try multiple names I was kinda surprised I didn't see a community name directive in the host definition specification. I realize nagios a more a monitoring framework and not tied solely to snmp based checks but it seems like it's a worthy item to have as part of the host definition.

Re: [Nagios-users] snmp community option in host definition?
Thanks for all who gave immediate feedback on having a snmp community option in nagios. It's good to know N3 will have the custom macro support, I am already doing some testing to see of the configuration interface my client is using will be able to play nicely with Nagios 3.x so the custom macro support is a definite plus. Deriving community names by fetching the hostgroup name also sounds like a creative solution, I keep configuration data in the database and the filesystem so I could grab the hostgroup from either, I just haven't had a reason to fetch that information before.

I am also seeing this same exact problem and am looking for a cure. No luck so far. It would be helpful to determine if the problem is ePN returning a bogus return code or Nag 3.x not processing it correctly. You can do this by enabling ePN logging (see perldoc p1.pl). (You could also do the same with Nag logging but that requires Nagios compiled with the debug options). You will need to carefully edit p1.pl to set the DEBUG_LEVEL constant to LEAVE_MSG. Set the debug log path and name as suits you (or make sure the defaults aren't going to kill you). Restart Nagios. You should see messages like those documented.

I figured I would toss the question out to the list to see if others had run into this before. Thanks, James Whittington - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
