Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Telesync Switches is possible?
ReynierPM, We have alot of 12-24port Allied Telesyn switch's, but all of them are un-managed switches. If the switch you have is 'managed' (you can log into an ip address, or get snmp information from the switch) then nagios can monitor it with snmp. But in my experience, I have been unable to monitor un-managed switch's. I guess a workaround would be to monitor the port of a managed switch that the allied telesyn is plugged into for status (up/down).

Re: [Nagios-users] monitoring external internet connectivity
Shadhin, I had our nagios ping google.com for awhile, but if something happens to the DNS server internally then it gave a false reading saying the internet was down when it was a DNS issue. Eventually I figured I could ping my ISP's IP address instead of hostname, and that seemed to work well. Im sure a place like google has more than 1 ip address associated with it, so I would pick an external IP address of a known site/company and plug it in. I also have SMS enabled/setup on my nagios machine so that when the internal network is down, an SMS message is generated and sent to the techie phones. (can't get email if the network is down, eh?)

Re: [Nagios-users] monitoring external internet connectivity
I gotta 2nd Marc on that. We did get permission from our ISP to ping their network, as we are usually the first to know when one of our 28+ networks go down in the country :-) I too would get permission. Because if they don't know who you are, some attentive little admin at x site might see your possibly mis-configured nagios server as a DOS attack against their network and block you. Thus leaving you with a false response that your network is down :-) Or even if it's not mis-configured, having your server pinging their server at regular intervals might seem abit off to someone that's monitoring logs.

It is never a good idea to steal the resources of some third party for your own purposes, no matter how infinite you think those resources to be. If you and hundreds, thousands or millions of other people all think it's just fine to ping Google all the time, Google takes the brunt of that resource hit. I would recommend that you poll your router's snmp tables to get interface status (ifStatus, ifOperStatus). Alternately, place a test device or purchase a small colo server somewhere outside your network that you can use as the target for your tests; or work with someone with similar needs to arrange permission to ping devices on each other's network. -- Marc -- ___ 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 The information in this electronic mail message and any attached files is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Re: [Nagios-users] downtime large number of hosts?
Shai, The example scripts are actual scripts that you can use..for example: http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command _id=36 #!/bin/sh # This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS command # to Nagios. Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary. now=`date +%s` commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' /bin/printf [%lu] DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS;host1\n $now $commandfile That is the 'example' script. Just create a file and name it whatever you want..for me I use the hostname in the file name. DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS_HOSTNAME, then chmod the file for execution: chmod u+x DISABLE_HOST_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS_HOSTNAME Edit the file and replace host1 with the hostname that you want to affect, the hostname has to be spelled the same way that it is in your .cfg file. Now you can either run the file manually when you want a downtime, or set it to run in a cronjob. For you since you want a large list of hosts that you want to disable notifications, then try the disable hostgroup script. ~Jayson From: Shai [mailto:sha...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 8:53 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] downtime large number of hosts?

Re: [Nagios-users] Could not complete ssl handshake
Harry,
There are afew thing you can check that cause this problem.
1. Check versions of the nrpe on both the server and the client
2. Did you install check_nrpe from source or rpm? You might want to
check if one is compiled with ssl support and the other isn't compiled for
SSL support (I had that problem, server was compiled for SSL and listening
for SSL connections, client wasn't)
3. I know with RHEL (what we use here) you have to set up the SELinux
permissions to allow the port through, along with editing the
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file and send a hup to xinetd so it can talk to the
server/client. Here's a copy of my xinetd file in /etc/xinetd.d/
a. # default: on
b. # description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
c. service nrpe
d. {
e. flags = REUSE
f.socket_type = stream
g. port= 5666
h. wait= no
i. user= nagios
j.group = nagios
k. server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
l. server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
--inetd
m.log_on_failure += USERID
n. disable = no
o. only_from = NAGIOS.SERVER.IP.ADDRESS
p. }
4. Try running a higher debug on the server and manually run
check_nrpe from the server to the client, check logs.
Hope this helps!

Re: [Nagios-users] best way to analyse traffic on a network-device
We use Cacti to analyze traffic information on a network device. Actually, we use it to monitor and analyze all network traffic on ports on our switches. I know in the past that Cacti and Nagios have gone hand in hand when it comes to monitoring with either tool. Here's a very short bit on cacti/nagios from the nagioswiki page. I don't know what other people do, but I have cacti running on the same server as nagios. http://nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/Cacti and cacti's website: http://cacti.net If you want to integrate cacti with nagios, there seems to be a-few plugins on nagiosexchange.org for cacti-nagios integration. This one looks promising: C2n - Cacti to Nagios c2n.cgi is a filter/wrapper for the frontend of Cacti to include it in Nagios. It includes the Cacti interface in the right frame of the Nagios web interface. It filters out any possiblity to switch from one host to another using cacti menus. Therefore the authentication system of Nagios will take place and the authentication system of Cacti is unused. http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2743.html;d=1 ~Jayson Jayson Broughton Linux Systems Administrator True Oil Companies jbrough...@truecos.com -Original Message- From: Ralf Prengel [mailto:ralf.pren...@comline.de] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 6:13 AM To: nagios-user Mailinglist Subject: [Nagios-users] best way to analyse traffic on a network-device Hallo, what is the best way to analyse traffic on a network-device.

However, it doesn't seem to behave quite as I'd expect. If I look at 'top' on this linux system, for our 'problem' application, i see this (and it will be constant like this for 1 hour): PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND 20022 ourapp 18 0 1428m 1.0g 13m S 104 25.7 442:18.39 java So when I run this command, I'd expect to see 1 process flagged: [r...@ours libexec]# ./check_procs -w 10 -c 20 --metric=CPU CPU OK: 173 processes I've tried adding the '-u' flag but made no difference. Is there something I'm missing if I want to capture and be notified when a process goes above a certain CPU usuage (ie. 80%)? Any help or information you could provide would be appreciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring HP Hardware - NRPE/NSCA on Windows
Hey Curtis, I can vouch for the check-hpasm utility that Gerhard recommends. We run a shop of 20+ HP servers (all sorts of HP servers) and I use the check-hpasm utility for our redhat servers. This utility has saved my neck a few times when hardware has failed in remote sites. What I have done was install the plugin under /usr/nagios/libexec/ and called it from the nagios server via nrpe. Although the only problem I do have with the plugin is that at times it will give false readings on the first check, but cleared on the 2nd check. Logs from hpasmcli show nothing, so I would assume it has something to do with the plugin being called by nrpe and just hiccupping. I solved this by setting my notification thresholds for the service to notify via email after the 3rd check. Here's what a memory module error looks like: CRITICAL - dimm module 5 @ cartridge 2 needs attention (dimm is degraded) And in a perfect world: OK - System: `proliant dl585 g1', S/N: 'x',ROM:A01 02/14/2007', hardware working fine Jayson From: Gerhard Lausser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 5:57 AM To: 'Curtis LaMasters'; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring HP Hardware - NRPE/NSCA on Windows Hi Curtis, with http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm you have two possibilities local (linux): the plugin runs on the HP and parses the output of the hpasmcli command remote (linux,windows): the plugin runs on the Nagios server and uses SNMP In both cases you need to install the hpasm RPM or the Windows Insight Management Agents.

I would prefer to have some sort of script that parses information on the remote host on HP hardware. I have found a few that use SNMP but I'm not sure how that works with NRPE/NSCA. For Dell hardware I use check_dell.exe from http://www.itefix.no http://www.itefix.no/ . Anything similar would be great.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE way too fragile ?
Guillaume,
We actually have the same problem here where Nagios is setup. I use the
NRPE daemon on both windows and linux servers. Two of our servers do
backups early in the morning and during that time we get NRPE Timeout
messages from the two servers. I have set the timeout on the server and the
clients to timeout after 30 seconds, thinking that would fix it. But alas,
we still get timeout messages. I haven't had much time to see what I can do
to fix this, so for now our solution is to not email out warning messages
from those two servers (I have the thresholds set enough where the critical
messages still gives enough window to take care of the problem before going
too critical) I have come to the conclusion that the servers are running
the backup and eating up so much processing that the nrpe times out trying
to connect and send information.
If you find a solution or even an idea to try, feel free to let me know and
I'll give it a shot!

Subject: [Nagios-users] NRPE way too fragile ?
Hello list.
I'm using nrpe quite heavily for testing lots of local service on all my
machines. It work usually well, but seems a bit unreliable: too much
often, nrpe itself fails to accept incoming connections, and test fails:
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
stracing nrpe process shows it is probably waiting itself on another
connection:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# strace -p 22444
Process 22444 attached - interrupt to quit
select(6, [5], NULL, [5], {0, 17}) = 0 (Timeout)
accept(5, 0, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
It usually recovers itself alone, but that's enough to cause much
unwanted notifications, even if all monitored services have nrpe itself
as dependency. I'm using ssl encryption, as usually advised, but I'm
planning shifting to plain-text connection (everything occurs on a
distinc VLAN, without user access).
Does everyone else has similar experience ?
