Re: [Nagios-users] Hostgroup Members
On Sep 23, 2011, at 10:51 AM, Brandon Phelps wrote: Hello, We are using a fairly old version of Nagios (1.4.1) which has been running great for years and is in production on 100+ servers so we are a bit hesitant to update. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? Anyway, one minor problem is the fact that in the nagios configuration, the members directive for a hostgroup can only support a certain number of entries, due to the fact that the members directive takes a comma delimited list of members and that list, it seems, can only be a maximum of 2000ish (I think, I don't recall off hand) characters. Like: 8192 characters, to be exact… My question is, do newer version of nagios remove this limitation? They do not. It isn't really a huge deal since we can simply create additional hostgroups when we reach the limit on one, however if this is fixed in a newer version then that, for us, would be a good reason to upgrade. While I would certainly suggest you consider upgrading, there are many changes between 1.4 and 3.x that make it more of a project than a quick fix.

Memory is not a factor in the load calculation, only the number of processes running or waiting to run. For at least 15 minutes you had approximately 71 processes either running or ready to run and waiting on CPU resources. Running top/ps was the right thing to do but you really need to do it when the problem is occurring to see what's actually using all the CPU resources.

the box but can the nagios user? Depending on how your command{} definition is
set up, you probably want to make sure that the value 'LEGACYBOX' is exactly
the same as what you have defined as the 'address' in the host{} definition.
if nagios runs the script , I keep getting an unknown result on the central

from nagios.log on central server:

I assume that the issue is an incorrect format for the send_nsca file but
cant figure out how to set it up correctly.
nsca has nothing to do with it since you aren't using it. Verify that the
nagios user can rsh into the box and test your plugin as the nagios user, not
root.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_load gone crazy
On Sep 7, 2010, at 7:39 PM, Mike Chesnut wrote:
I'm wondering if this is a known bug, and/or if anybody else has seen
similar behavior...
We're using Nagios 3.2.1 on Linux, monitoring several Linux systems. We
run the check_load probe against every system. Occasionally (at
non-regular intervals), Nagios will freak out and alert on the load
average of many (sometimes *all*) systems. When this occurs, it reports
the *same* load averages for each system, and the weirdest part is that
these load averages are completely bogus.
Any ideas for what I can do to get to the bottom of why this happens?
What transport mechanism are you using to run check_load on the remote systems?
It is not 'network aware' and so the check_load binary must be installed on
each remote machine and run on that machine via some transport (check_nrpe,
check_by_ssh, etc). It seems to me that you are not running it on the remote
machines but are instead monitoring the load of your nagios machine multiple
times. Can you show a couple example service{} and corresponding command{}
definitions if you are unsure?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios plain files vs database storage
On Sep 7, 2010, at 7:03 AM, yuris wrote: Hello, I'm using Nagios for several months with plain files setup, and nagiosgrapher. It works pretty nice and I have no problem monitoring ~50 hosts; ~10 service_checks per host. Now I'm thinking about migration of other hosts from Zabbix to Nagios and totally it is going to be ~350 hosts. Since the number of hosts is significant plain test configs does not seem to be a good option, and This is not an unreasonable number. Just be sure to look through the Large Installation section of the documentation. I've had distributed nagios systems with the pollers checking 2-3000 services each, all reporting back to a central nagios server totaling about 10, services. No major issues seen and I didn't feel I was approaching a limit on the pollers yet. No matter what you do, nagios will still use plain text config files. nodutils is just for storing the output-ish things in a database for use by other addons or your own reporting. Any front end that you use to edit hosts/services will always dump them out to plain text config files, same as you're using now, for nagios' consumption. -- Marc -- This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.

It's pretty easy...
- create your script to perform the check. Pay particular attention to the
Output and Return Code requirements of
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html
- create a command{} definition that calls your script.
- create one or more service definitions that reference your new command{}

- reload nagios

- PROFIT!
What I desire -
Instead of a cumulative result, can I display the result in Nagios on a per
application basis using this one script (and a wrapper script on top of it)?
Seems straightforward to me. Accept a command line argument referencing what
you want to look for and search the output for that status. Print out the
status and exit with a corresponding exit code.
If you can also provide me with a wrapper script for reference in relation to
how the result can be presented to Nagios that would be great.
Look at pretty much any of the plugins at http://exchange.nagios.org. I'd bet
that the majority of them call some external program, parse it's output and
return results.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_http (bogus) setup
On Apr 15, 2010, at 3:50 AM, Gerard Petersen wrote:
Hi All,
I've been testing with the check_http service. I always was under the
assumption that the setup below would check www.example.com
Why did you make this assumption? It's not documented to work like this.
check_command check_http!www.example.com!/
With this service definition (as often installed out of the box):
define command{
command_namecheck_http
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H '$HOSTADDRESS$'
}
It's not been like this in a long time I believe. Perhaps you've installed from
a distribution specific package and they've deviated from current nagios? If
so, there's nothing that we can do about that. This is what the official
package uses --
# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}
Note that your assumed configuration still wouldn't work here but the official
documentation expects this definition. See 'Monitoring HTTP' at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-publicservices.html.
Wrong! It would check for a webserver on myhost1. Since there's nothing
running at myhost1:80 i got a TCP error. Somewhat baffled I've been tailing
the access.log of www.example.com to see when I actually got a hit.
The funny thing is this (with no additional parms) even returns ok, would
you have a webserver listening on myhost1:80
check_command check_http
This is because your command_line doesn't use any of the params you think
you're passing it ($ARG1$, $ARG2$).
So, you would be wise to turn the command syntax into this:
command_line/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H '$ARG1$' -u '$ARG2$'
Or follow the example documented use of the plugin. In general, you can't make
assumptions about how a plugin works without looking at, and understanding, the
defined command_line for that plugin. Every one is different.
Then this will actually test www.example.com:
check_command check_http!www.example.com!/
Is it me or is this check_http setup misleading? (ubuntu 9.10 in this case)
No, but that would depend on the documentation you're referencing to use the
plugin. If the ubuntu documentation says that your format works with their
packaged version of the check_http command definition, then that is misleading
and they should correct that. Otherwise it looks like you made an incorrect
assumption about how something worked without understanding it. If I buy a car
from a dealer and they tell me it runs on diesel, fill it up with diesel and it
doesn't, then that's their fault. If they don't tell me anything about it and I
assume it does without reading the manual, that's my fault.
For a new admin, the simplest use case is just to check that a web server is
listening on a host. That's what your definition does and what the official
definition does if no additional parameters are passed. As an admin becomes
more familiar with the plugin and more sophisticated in what they want to do
they need to edit either one or both of the command_line and check_command in
your case but only the check_command in the official case. I think the official
way provides the most flexibility all around, IMHO.

It's nagios complaining. For every passive result host/service combination

within nagios. You need a host{} definition for host_name 'centos-64-bit' and a
service{} definition for service_description 'HelloWorldApplicatin' for
host_name 'centos-64bit' for this check result to be handled.

I'm trying not to send notifications until an outage persists for a while. In an example I looked at this morning, I see that it was repeating the host check every 10 seconds until it hit the retry count. With nagios-2, when a host enters a non-OK state, nagios switches to a serial mode where the host check is retried until max_check_attempts is reached. The fact that it's 10 seconds has more to do with the check that you are performing than any nagios timing. That's apparently about how long it takes each check run to complete (are you issuing 10 pings perhaps?). Where does that 10 seconds time come from? The manual is remarkably vague about host check scheduling; about all it says is that it does them on demand, With nagios-2, host checks are only run when a service on the host fails. Nagios will then run the host's check_command, up to max_check_attempts, to determine if the host is down or just the service. and If the first host check returns a non-OK state, Nagios will keep pounding out checks of the host until either (a) the maximum number of host checks (specified by the max_attempts option in the host definition) is reached or (b) a host check results in an OK state. Yup, the host check_command is run, one immediately after the previous, until max_check_attempts is reached. During this time nagios is doing *nothing* else besides checking this host. Does this mean I have no control over the timing? Depends on your version of nagios. With nagios-2, yes, you have no control over the timing. Can I treat the 10 second observed delay as real (and then control total time delay by setting max_attempts high)? Setting max_attempts is a way to deal with that but if you're using nagios-2, you're stopping *all* other checks and processing until max_attempts is reached. If you set it so that it's 6 then for about the next 60 seconds nagios is doing nothing besides checking this single host. This may be important to you if you have lots of other checks you are doing. If you need to have more control over that then I'd suggest upgrading to nagios-3. Host check logic was greatly improved and more in line with how service checks are done. -- Marc -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Just specify that address as the email parameter for a contact that's being notified. Because you're sending mail to the Internet though, you need to follow all of the common rules for sending mail on the Internet. Typically the easiest way to do so is to configure the MTA on your nagios box (sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail, whateveritis) to smarthost mail to your current SMTP server. If you want to send to Yahoo directly from your nagios box, at a minimum you need to ensure that - - the sending mail address is from a valid @domain.com - The public IP seen by Yahoo has valid reverse DNS - The name presented by reverse DNS resolves back to that same IP (FCRDNS) - The public IP seen by Yahoo is not on any blacklists - The hostname or HELO name presented by the MTA on your nagios server is a valid hostname.domain.com in the public DNS Consult the documentation for the MTA you have installed on your nagios box for information on how to configure it for Internet delivery. -- Marc -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

This has no relevance since you're asking about service notifications. Look for
the service definition in question in objects.cache. Verify that retry_interval
is what you expect it to be. If it is, you have multiple nagios daemons

The script itself is very simple. At CRITICAL/SOFT/3 and CRITCAL/HARD/4 the

sudo is configured and nagios can mount NFS.
The entry in the nagios.log

Nagios is running it. This is good.
I have followed the process through and it will not execute the remount-nfs
event handler command.
What is missing?
First guess: you have REQUIRETTY enabled in your sudoers file (run visudo and
check).
Second guess: $USER1$ doesn't point to the location of
{?}/eventhandlers/remount_nfs.
Third guess: you do not use hard-coded paths to programs used within
remount-nfs. The working environment for scripts executed by nagios is very
minimal. Don't depend on $PATH being as complete as it is during an interactive
session. Hard code paths to everything. That should be a BCP anyway.
Try adding a bit at the top of the script to touch a file or something to see
if it really ran and is maybe failing further into the script (i.e. because of
a potential sudo restriction).

If there is some relation to Nagios, you probably want to clarify that connection if you want better help. It seems to me that you should be using Google to find out how to correct these vulnerabilities or asking on the Apache users support listserv. It almost certainly involves upgrading Apache or the modules in question or disabling them entirely if you don't use them. While many of us may use Apache, it's not appropriate to ask here for Apache support unrelated to Nagios and you'll definitely get more relevant/accurate/timely answers from a forum that provides that support. -- Marc -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Nagios-users] [Launching a perl script from nagios ]
On Mar 4, 2010, at 6:07 AM, badreddine meherzi wrote:
Hi,
I'm trying to make nagios execute a perl script as host problem notification
instead of sending a mail and this doesn't work.
so I've done the following configurations:
The Perl script is for RT ticket creation.
The Perl script create_ticket.pl works fine and a ticket is created when
executed with the perl command in shell by the nagios user.
Can you post an example run? Is it different than your command_line below in
any way?
#'notify-host-by-create-ticket' command definition
define command {
command_name notify-create-ticket
command_line /home/himilco/perlscript/create_ticket.pl
You don't pass any arguments to this command. How does it know what it's
supposed to create a ticket for? Does it use environment variables or is it
hard coded internally for testing? Also, it's very unusual for another user to
have access to someone else's homedir. Did you modify permissions to grant
extra access to /home/himilco?
# I tried also to put : command_line /opt/rt3/bin/rt create -t ticket
set subject='ticket_from _nagios ' priority=10 queue=General
This looks like it should work. Is the command 'rt' a perl script as well? I
haven't used Request Tracker before.
the nagios log show this line:
Mar 4 12:01:25 localhost nagios: HOST NOTIFICATION:
nagiosadmin;pc-yacine;DOWN;notify-create-ticket;CRITICAL - Host Unreachable
(172.16.125.140)
*
Yes, that's a good sign. Nagios is trying to execute your script.
Do you have the embedded perl interpreter enabled? If so, is create_ticket.pl
written to it's standards? If it's enabled, try disabling it globally or for
this script in particular. The documentation for Enabling the Embedded Perl
Interpreter can help you answer these questions.
Additionally, I'd just try adding a couple lines at the top of create_ticket.pl
to write some text to a file in /tmp. Just something to show that it ran.
Finally, you might try modifying the command_line to capture any output from
the script to a file for inspection --
command_line /home/himilco/perlscript/create_ticket.pl
/tmp/ticket.out 21

I had my cgi.cnf set up like this...

Anyone know what it was that changed that I cannot configure this anymore via
the cgi.cnf
It's a compile-time option --
$ ./configure --help
`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.
Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

--with-cgiurl=local-url sets URL for cgi programs (do not use a trailing

--with-htmurl=local-url sets URL for public html
I expect you previously used '--with-htmurl= --with-cgiurl=/cgi-bin' for your
old install.

A bit. index.html is now index.php. Because there's no actual PHP in there yet,
you can rename share/index.php to share/index.html to regain the old behavior.
You can do this now but you may not be able to in future releases.

But they probably would both have /etc/nagios and other default directories in common. Clearly if the packages install components to common directories then that isn't going to work. Compiling and installing from tarball is not difficult at all and you have control over where things get put (by default everything is under /usr/local/nagios). You'll need to set up a second http vhost with a different name for the second instance and either modify the nagios init script to start the second instance or add the startup to rc.local. Once you're confident in the success of your transition, you could uninstall the v2 package, install the v3 package and copy over your etc and var directories from your transition install... -- Marc -- Download Intelreg; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
