(I've been using macros since 1401 Autocoder, and mostly think of them as compile time code-generating tools.) So, what's with the check_http plugin? The parameters it accepts don't match the parameters its help says it accepts. But beyond that, the -e switch doesn't seem to do what it says it should. I'm not getting invalid results because I'm running from the command line, am I? This seems much the easiest way to test things, and it rather sounds like this is an intended use. But thought I'd ask just to be sure. In this case, the expected result of the test is a 400 Bad Request error (because I'm hitting a web services port and requesting root; this test is intended to do a minimal check and see that the service director is up, but not test the individual services yet). So the 400 Bad Request response is correct and valid. Now, the -e switch seems to be intended to check just this status line, and to nicely short-circuit later processing, and seems in all ways optimized for exactly what I'm doing. Except for the minor fact that it doesn't seem to work. See below, run in verbose mode. I've tried a bunch of variants on the value I pass to -e, including the whole line given, and they all give the same result, an exit code of 2 and the invalid HTTP response code message.

code wrta, so i don't understand why it is not working. Trying that
command above on the command line as such:

As was mentioned, your test syntax is different, otherwise, fix your
command definition, and test again.

Its up to you how you want to format. Sometimes it's easier to
group by type (hosts, services, commands, etc), and others by
location (server room, etc). How you format is up to you. If you
want, you can even bundle it all in a single file.
Lines ending in \ are wrapped and should appear on a single line in
your config.

This will execute check_http against the myhost. check-host-alive
will be executed every 1 minute. If check-host-alive fails 3 times,
host is considered down, and alerts for check_http will be
suppressed. You should read up on host checks [1], service checks

Yes, that's one way to do it, though over-complicating it. The other
is to actually have ping (usually defined as check-host-alive) as the
host check, when the host is unreachable, the notifications for the
services will not be sent.
Nagios3 would also be a good idea for an upgrade (something I believe
ubuntu has as a package already) as the host checks are much better in
v3.

I see the same error if I disable frame support in Firefox. Anyone else
monitoring OWA content?
What content are you actually looking for? Is there a specific email
you're looking for? If so, you don't want to call /exchange/nagios,
you want to look for the INBOX instead. If you view the source of the
frameset page, you will see two frame calls, the body looks something
like this:
FRAMESET
FRAME name=navbar src=./?Cmd=navbar
FRAME name=viewer src=Inbox/?Cmd=contents
NOFRAMES
BODYPThis page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support
them./P/BODY
/NOFRAMES
/FRAMESET
Note, I have trimmed the code to make it actually readable. You can
see the navigation bar, and the inbox calls. So your nagios
check_http call should in fact look like this:
./check_http -H exchange -u /exchange/nagios/Inbox/?Cmd=contents -a
dom1\nagios:nagiospass1 -s
Another note, you'll find the code for {name} : INBOX is split by HTML
code, so your check needs to account for it. In my case, the check
would be:
-s 'Jonathan Angliss/B/FONT/A/FONT..'
If you're just looking for the name resolution, just use that instead.
I just did a quick test to validate, and it looks like the following
page is expecting session data, so you might end up having to string
together a number of tests using cURL, or using webinject to login,
and access the page.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using a different notification command after a certain downtime

georgso...@gmx.de wrote:
Hi list!
I am currently integrating Skype into our monitoring to provide SMS
notifications. It's working pretty fine and if you're interested you can
check out my documentation in the Nagios wiki [1].
However, I had one tiny problem with the configuration that I would like
to sort out if possible. The problem is: When the HTTPs are down for
more than 20 minutes I want to be notified by SMS, but I still want to
use the regular mail notifications (currently set to occur after I
believe 3 Minutes). My solution to this was to duplicate the service
definitions for HTTP to provide different check intervals / max check
attempts (coming out at 10 minutes and 20 minutes respectively) and
contact groups / contacts (the contacts in the first group use mail
notifications, the contacts in the second group use SMS notifications,
but are essentially the same users as in the first group, just
duplicated). Have a look at the wiki page if this description is unclear.
So, in essence my question is if there is any way to tell Nagios to
switch to a different notification command after a certain downtime or
any other way to avoid this duplication.
Thanks and best regards,
Georg
[1] http://community.nagios.org/wiki/index.php/SkypeSmsNotification
Instead of duplicating the service, you can use service escalations,
as defined in the docs [2]. This will esentially do the same thing
you have with the duplicated commands, however you'll still need new
contacts to send the notifications to the SMS rather than the regular
emails.
The other way to handle it would be a custom notification script which
you use for notifications, and pass in the arguments for the SMS
number, the email address, the usual macros, and the notification
count [3]. Then you can throw some logic in the script that does
something like this:
if ($HOSTNOTIFICATIONNUMBER 5) {
send_sms_message();
}
send_email_message();

Where is your define command?
And the result in Nagios:

Hrm... this is odd, looks like you are posting the right host entry

seth, is the address defined the same as the IP you are getting when
you telnet to the name? ie:

Re: [Nagios-users] Host vs Service reachability
On Fri, 15 May 2009 11:26:54 -0400, Jason Frisvold frisv...@lafayette.edu wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'm looking at possibly disabling my service pings and moving over completely to host checks for reachability. I'm unsure of the exact mechanics, though, so if someone can help me out, I'd appreciate it. So, to start, if a host has no current services, is the host_check still intermittent? Or does it become an active check at a specific interval, similar to a service? We have several hosts that we only check for connectivity as opposed to services, for a variety of reasons. From my understanding, the changes in v3 make the checks perform better, whilst v2 were done slightly differently. They execute as scheduled based on the check interval. From what I've read of Nagios 3, it sounds like using host checks is more efficient. Are there instances, though, where services may show up, but the host is down? Does the host_check run at specified intervals, even though service checks don't show a problem? A service may show up, and a host down if the times for checking overlap. For example, a service check every 10 minutes, and host checks every 1 minute. A host check could show the server down, whilst the service check will show it is OK. It can also depend on what you consider for your host check too. For example, if you cannot ping, and you use the check_ping/check_icmp functions, you'll show the host down, but services up. Is there a compelling reason to not do this? ie, am I inviting a world of hurt by using host checks vs a service ping? You're actually inviting a world of hurt doing it the other way around (service ping over host check). Host checks will help surpress service notifications, as well as help manage network reachability if you use parents (see [1]). Take for example, a host you have FTP, HTTP, and your ping check on. If you the host goes down, the ping service will show down, but FTP, and HTTP tests will also show unreachable, or timeout, causing 3 notifications. If the host check was to be used, you'd get a notification the host was down, rather than 3 to report host issues. You can, of course, work around this with service dependencies, but that complicates your configuration.

Sounds like you need to monitor the clustered IP instead of the individual IP addresses, and check for various services and their states there. The server will react, and respond accordingly because the cluster services will handle the requests. That being said, you'd probably still want something to monitor the cluster services themselves to see if there was a failure. Currently exchange services are being monitored individually on each clustered node. FYI : The server is a Windows clustered environment. Can i use check_cluster ?? If i am not wrong check_cluster works only for Linux cluster. Is that right?? Check cluster will take the results of several hosts/services and respond based on the thresholds defined. For example, if you have several web servers that form a web farm, each server is checked independantly. The check_cluster plugin takes the output of the service checks, and gives you back an OK, WARNING, CRITICAL based on your threshold.

Have you tried increasing the debugging to see what's actually being
passed? Looking at your definition, you have '$HOSTALIAS$' (note the
single quote), yet that doesn't exist on the working example. Was
this a typo?
Also, you need'll need to provide the command definition so we can see
how the args are being passed.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there's a way to incorporate all hosts into one host name
instead of creating individual defines?
I'm trying to add all of our servers into Nagios but there's huge amount of
them.
Need faster way to add all of them into one script.
Here's what I'm trying to avoid:
define host{
use generic-host
host_namesunbl.001.csaa.net
alias UNIX-SERVER1
address 172.168.1.35
}
define host{
use generic-host
host_namesunbl.002.csaa.net
alias UNIX-SERVER2
address 172.168.1.36
}
.and so on to hundreds of define host
Here's what I'm trying to hopefully accomplish if possible:
define host{
useall-host
host_name allunixhosts
alias ALL-UNIX
address ALLIP
}
...done all hosts...
Do you have the expectation of Nagios guessing your IP schema, and
host names? There is a way of using nmap, and a script to build a
basis for you.
And also have them in one all host services.cfg script.
define service{
use all-service
host_name ALLHOSTSERVICE
service_description SSH
check_command check_ssh
}
define service{
use all-service
host_name ALLHOSTSERVICE
service_description PING
check_commandcheck_ping
}
Services can be applied to hostgroups. For example:
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name myunixhostgroup
}
define host {
register0
nameunix_host
hostgroups myunixhostgroup
[..]
}
define host {
use unix_host
host_name unix01
address 172.16.0.2
}
define service {
service_descriptPING
check_command check_ping
hostgroup_name myunixhostgroup
}
This reduces the definition of the host down to 3 lines, you're using
a template for all your linux hosts, and the service is applied to the
entire group. Hope that gives you a head start.

I am getting the output value as 0 but exactly in perfmon I can see the
exact value i.e approx 1000
Also tried nrpe_nt to install on windows 2008. But throwing error while
starting the service.
Windows could not start th Nagios Remote Plugin Executor for NT/w...@k
service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request
in timely manner.
So the service isn't starting that you're trying to use to get
counters from? nsclient++ seems to work okay, not tested on 2008 yet,
pretty soon though.
I don't have that counter monitored, but I do have RAS monitored with
nsclient++.

Sample looks like: icon_image firewall_router.png vrml_image firewall_router.png statusmap_image firewall_router.gd2 2d_coords 100,200 Attached is screen shot. Anyone else seen this? You probably don't have the related GD libraries installed that were used to build the RPM. All the other locations are simply links to the image (html img), whilst the images in the status maps are imported using the GD libraries if I remember correctly. -- Jon Angliss -- ___ 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

Subject: [Nagios-users] Plugin Trouble
I am trying to use the check_snmp_printer plugin to monitor a few printers
on the network. I am able to use it via the bash shell with
./check_snmp_printer 192.168.x.x public CONSUM ALL. However when I define
it in objects/commands.cfg and make a .cfg file for a printer I get a
usage is: in nagios
Here is how I have defined the command in commands.cfg
# 'check_snmp_printer' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_snmp_printer
command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_printer $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
$ARG2$
}
I'm thinking its something with the way I have it defined. Any input would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the info. I am using the bash version of the script not the
perl version so it takes no swicthes like -C -H and such. I did however
manage to figure it out. command.cfg =
# 'check_snmp_printer' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_snmp_printer
command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_printer $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ }
service def...
define service{
use generic-service
host_name ACHS Lounge
service_description Printer Consumables
check_command
check_snmp_printer!192.168.1.238!public!CONSUM ALL
normal_check_interval 10
retry_check_interval1
}
Thanks everybody.
This seems a little bit of an odd change, but I'm not sure how you
have your hosts defined. Do you have a host defined for each printer?
Or do you have a single host, with multiple printer tests assigned? If
you're using a single host per printer, passing in the IP address for
the printer into the service is a little odd. The original definition
for the command was OK, it looks like you probably just needed to drop
the IP address. ie:
define service {
[...]
check_command check_snmp_printer!public!CONSUM ALL
}
The command definition would get the host address from the other
macros. You can then use hostgroups to assign services to a batch of
printers that have the same tests.

I am an experienced linux user, but have always been anti-sendmail because of the different security risks over the past.

Can someone please guide me in arranging this setup correctly as I am stuck and need to get alert notifications setup correctly soon. I'm trying to figure out what you're trying to do. Are you trying to send your emails through the exchange server's SMTP service? Or are you trying to get the server running nagios send them directly to their destination? If you're trying to use the Exchange server as a relay, use the SMARTHOST option in Sendmail. However, I think that's overkill for simply relaying. Checkout nullmailer, or ssmtp. Both are small, lightweight smtp services that relay through a server, which in this case would be your exchange server. You just have to be cautious of relying on your Exchange server, as if that goes down, you won't get alerts. -- Jon Angliss - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ 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

Think about a simple monitoring scenario in which you only want to ping various devices to see if they are up or not. So you have 200 hosts with only one service (PING) for each. For a reason or another, short-time breaks occur in the network. That is, a particular host does not reply to PINGs for e.g. 30 seconds. These breaks should not cause a notification to be sent. What comes to services, the filtering is easy with max_check_attempt and retry_check_interval. But the host check becomes a problem: after first PING failure (soft state) the host is checked, and there is no retry_check_interval for hosts. So the host is declared to be down (almost) immediately. I'm going to guess you're using nagios 2. Nagios 3 has a retry_interval for both service, and host. However, that being said, that just hints to me that the host check will be executed max_check_attempts at the check_interval rate (both options exist on a host). So set your max_check_attempts to a reasonible number (3 for 3 minutes for example), and check_interval to another reasonible number (1 for 1 minute), and that should handle 30 second blips in networks. - -- Jon Angliss -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) - GPGshell v3.64 iEYEARECAAYFAkjkd6wACgkQK4PoFPj9H3P/bACdEPhfz6wPYCAqLpYHcU/wI7JZ OBgAoOqAadpvYuHSQbnGU5zHkbjl85TQ =jj8S -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ 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

As it's complaining about version info, have you tried adding -P 2?
Have you tried turning on the debugging, and seeing what the command

It seems that Nagios cannot find the OID associated with this query?
I was thinking that the OS is not aware of the MIB's based on the output so
I downloaded the Netapp MIBS with no luck. Can someone offer some
assistance?
MIBs are generally just to make it easier for us meer humans to read.
As long as the server/device responds to the number you request, the
machine doesn't really need the words. It only comes in handy if you
decide you want to write code that does nice queries, such as getting
the system uptime sysUpTime.0.

How do you track the ticket number between nagios and RT? Tracking the consistent data for the duration of an issue complicates ticket generation/closure a little bit :-) Nagios 3 introduces notification id's. Once you can connect a notification id and an rt number, you're home free. How to make that connection is up to you though. Not directly. Looking at the description, the ID increases on each new notification sent. : The notification ID number is incremented by one (1) each time a new : host notification is sent out, and regardless of how many contacts are : notified. I read this being that each notification gets a new ID. For example, a host goes down, the first notification gets 1... second gets 2... etc. Host recovers. A service on another host goes down, and the notification ID is 3. It'd be a little easier if the notification ID stayed the same for the entire duration of the host being down. You might want to look at $SERVICEPROBLEMID$ and $HOSTPROBLEMID$ instead. And the $LAST...$ versions of both of those. Combining with an event handler, you can probably use a small table containing the RT ticket number, the host/service name, and the problem ID. You'd then feed the state, statetype, service, host, and the problem ID macros to the event handler, and you should then be home free :) - -- Jon Angliss -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) - GPGshell v3.64 iEYEARECAAYFAkjkhbUACgkQK4PoFPj9H3OJSQCfTAjWQlnsjFemAPu3T/v6KQX5 oCwAnj1gov/YsCbn/aezABh9bwL0qs44 =oliQ -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ 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

I have roughly 50 servers or so that mount their home directories (as well as a few other things, but let's talk about /home for simplicity) from an NFS server (isilon at the moment, shortly to become a NetApp). Because space is expensive, periodically central storage fills up. This results in /home sending out notifications from all 50 servers. I'm relatively sure that you should be able to query the storage device directly for space reports (SNMP for example). This would mean you setup a host for the isolon/NetApp to monitor the storage usage. Then, your monitoring of the individual servers storage space, would really be for connectivities sake to ensure communications back to the storage. Setup service dependencies, and when the server goes down, the various other hosts won't alert that /home isn't mounted any more because it's nicely handled by the dependency. Is there a good way to set things up so that if central storage fills up I don't get paged by every system we've got? I don't want to give up monitoring /home on these hosts since our configuration monkey has screwed up before and NOT mounted the NFS share, leading to the mountpoint on local disk filling up instead.

interface for windows. my question is how do we monitor oracle database and
it's services on windows box through nsclient?
How good are you at writing scripts? I'd imagine it probably wouldn't
be too difficult to cobble together a small batch script that calls
the oracle client to do some tests. Or, even writing something in VBS
to build a client connection using ODBC.
I don't have Oracle, and my VBS is rusty... but something like this
would probably be a basis:
%
On Error Goto ErrHandler
ConStr = DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};SERVER=oracle_server;User
Id=user;Password=password;
set Conn = CreateObject(ADODB.Connection)
Conn.Open ConStr
ErrHandler:
Print Something Bad Happened
exit 1
%
Then you call that script from nsclient++..
A more complex example can be found here [1]. But googling around
you'll probably find some easy to understand examples to get you
going. If you read over the check_oracle client, you should be able
to see what it's doing, and duplicate the behavior in the script.
That is assuming the code cannot be ported to windows.

I'm a little confused as to why you have everybody in the service
definition, and then break it down in the escallations. It seems a
slightly unusual way of doing it, but based on the verbiage from the
docs, should work...
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html
The way the docs have it laid out, and using your samples, it'd have
the contact_groups for the service as just oncall. Then for the first
service escallation, which would be from 11, to 20 (not 1 to 10), the
groups would be oncall, and backup. Then on the 21-30, it'd be oncall,
backup, and tech-team, etc etc etc.
And secondly, if I added and everyone¹ to my service contact_groups¹, and
utilized the time_period option in the escalations config for after hours,
would everyone get the notification during the day?
It doesn't seem to mention it that way, but yes, it'd appear to behave
that way.

I've tried several things, but did not work. - I could connect to the nagios database using the user nagios and its password. I checked the files to make sure that it is with the correct user, password and database name. - I checked the owner (user) and group that the files belong to (nagios:nagios). - I checked the permitions of the files - I tried to use both TCP and unix in the socket_type and got the same error. - I just stoped nagios and NDOUtils. I started the NDOUtils and then nagios. Did not work - I got no errors in the installation. I did some googling, and stumbled across this thread: http://readlist.com/lists/lists.sourceforge.net/nagios-users/0/1996.html It mentions the ndo application not being able to talk to SQL, and logging to /var/log/messages. You might try checking there, and seeing if you get any extra information. It might be ndo is expecting the mysql socket file in a different location to where you have it. -- Jon Angliss - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ 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

Was version of Nagios were you running? Were you using the exclude function (new to nagios 3.x)? Nagios 3.x did add new functionality to timeperiods. It is possible that a bug was introduced. I had defined a timeperiod of ProdSLA which was 24x7, then an exclusion timeperiod called ProdMaint, which was 0300-0500 daily, then added that as an excluded time period for ProdSLA. This was used for checks, not notifications. As the start of the excluded time period would be reached, it'd stop checking, as designed, but never resuming checking at 0500. I'll have to see if I can dig out the config files from CVS. It was a 3.x install. -- Jon Angliss - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ 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

I have just installed Fedora 9 and then setup Nagios. I followed Quick

I want to Monitor 1 remote server's SMTP. I have been experimenting with 2

messages telling me the host is
down constantly (I assume this is because it blocks ICMP ping requests) I
then found a sample on one
of the forums which I tried to implement; but I recieve no messages and
Nagios still says host is down in
the browser. Basically I'd like to show the host as up and recieve messages
when SMTP is unavailable.
Does anyone have any samples (Pref with comments) that I can experiment with?
I am particually
interested in monitoring publically available services.

Is there any resaon you have checks_enabled set to 0? I also cannot
find a checks_enabled directive, it's either active_checks_enabled or
passive_checks_enabled.
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name windows-servers
alias Windows Servers

You should try using variables instead of hard coding services,
especially when it comes to commands, and host variables. You should
try using $HOSTADDRESS$. This'll make it so you can reuse the same
command later.
define host{
use generic-host
host_name myserver
alias My Mail
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
check_command check_upmail
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options n
contact_groups admins
}

Have you tried forcing a check of the server? Does it still say it's
down? Can you run check_smtp -H hostaddress from the command, as
nagios user to validate the service can talk to it?

Getting Nagios to monitor the machine it's running on is actually the very simplest case and very straight forward. What config changes did you make between when it was working and not, specifically? The SIGSEGV is interesting and you might consider running Nagios in debug mode (you'll need to recompile) to find out generally what it's doing at the segfault. Alternately, if you're familiar with gdb, you could use that. I've also found strace to be a big help for random crashes. Somebody on the irc channel had an issue with nagios faulting right on start up. strace pointed the issue to be a big file issue.

For example, the health check on your CMS system probably shouldn't try to generate a CMS ticket. Maybe a special contact group and/or regex matching in your notify_command. Why not tie into the event_handler, instead of the notify_command? event_handler doesn't necessarily have to fix something, but it can be used to trigger other events, such as logging a ticket. It'd certainly be a much better option than notify, as notify executes every time a notification is supposed to be generated, which would ultimately end up generating lots of tickets, unless you can build some complex rules into your notification alert that checks for an existing ticket for that host/service, then only creates it once. -- Jon Angliss - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ 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
