Re: [Nagios-users] Which Is Best
Hello, If it's just two sites... I like to have two Nagios servers. I would put one in each site. That way if the VPN link is down, you don't lose performance data from the other site during the window. Plus each Nagios server can monitor the other. Also I've used my HQ install to monitor my datacenter over the ISP link to monitor general performance of my apps. If you're going to end up with multiple sites, then maybe start with a distributed setup now to safe work down the road. I also prefer a RH/Centos install for Nagios. -- Mat W.

Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie questions for Nagios XI latest release
To be rather general... If you can monitor a device via SNMP, you can monitor it via Nagios. Also you can use something like NSCA to accept checks/heartbeats from remote systems/services. NSCA is a Linux/Unix daemon allows you to integrate passive alerts and checks from remote machines and applications with Nagios. Useful for processing security alerts, as well as redundant and distributed Nagios setups. The ease of which you can do the above... well, that's debatable depending on what may (or may not) already be done by various plugins other folks have kindly written as well as your skills to either extend/modify what exists or even write something totally new. -- Mat W.

Re: [Nagios-users] What the best way to monitor Windows?
With NSClient++, you can easily copy the INI file around. for NRPE and NSClient++ config files I always put in 3 generic names as allowed hosts ... nagios1.domain.local, nagios2.domain.local, nagios3.domain.local. Those 3 are CNAMEs to my actual nagios systems so I don't have to worry about updating config files if I'm testing a new plugin on a test Nagios box, migrating, etc. Only downside is that it does require good DNS and you have the normally trivial overhead of that DNS lookup. -- Mat W.

Ok, so it sounds like there might be 3 best ways to monitor Windows in general. I will have to check them out in detail before deciding which way to go. I do note that the following though from reading about them - 1. Checkwmiplus - I switched from NSclient++ to checkwmiplus, because agent less monitoring gives me a more flexible nagios environment : - not needing a remote agent makes migration NAGIOS to another server easier, because usually because of security reasons, you will be configuring the agent to allow connections from a particular (NAGIOS) server only. - an agent needs to be extra installed on the windows server; that may seem 'easy' ; but it isn't if you are in a large IT group where people carry different heads, and things like 'convincing debates' and 'overal installation procedures' come into place. - there are disadvantages too : checkwmiplus has increased the cpu load on my nagios server dramatically because of the combined use of wmic and the perl-based checkwmiplus script. And multiple instances are running all the time for a large number of servers. I think I will have to migrate to a speedier nagios server in the future - checkwmiplus is still under very active development which has pros and cons; pros because of the active interest of the developer, cons because active installation components are still being changed, making upgrading and followup on versions a little bit more cumbersome and time intensive , then for nsclient++ , which ,already, much more stabilized.

Re: [Nagios-users] RRDTool exits with errors - ERROR: can't make a graph without contents
I recently ran into a similar testing Nagios/NagVis/PnP4Nagios.
To throw it out there... you are using an older version of PNP as they're
beyond 0.6 now.
I was trying to add a new service and testing. I had been tweaking the check's
command line options to find the write output I wanted. Once the check worked
how I wanted, I noticed I was getting an error on the graph. Since this was a
new check, I deleted the existing RRD files that had been created and let new
ones get created. That corrected the issue. I assume the RRD file was
initially created with incorrect parameters as I was changing the check during
my initial testing.

Re: [Nagios-users] need expert advice/suggestions
We make extensive use of hostgroups for templating. We define a OS hostgroup. A simple example would be Windows or Linux host groups where we monitor CPU/Load, Root/C disk space, and memory. The Windows group has EventLog RDP checks, while Linux groups will monitor the SSH port. Then we use nested groups for something like DB Servers (dbservers.cfg) where we have the parent group defined and the subgroups of MSSQL and MYSQL hostgroups. Then each smaller group has a few common checks we run such as base TCP Ports and even simple test queries against the default databases. Ironically we had very view checks to the actual host.cfg files, but add most individual one-off role checks to the group file. -- Mat W. - http://www.techadre.com Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 07:36:47 -0500 From: gmar...@gmartin.org To: patrick.mor...@hp.com; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] need expert advice/suggestions On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 4:29 PM, patrick.mor...@hp.com wrote: Hi Taylor!

[Nagios-users] Disabling Notifcations...
Ok, been a long week and maybe i'm just overlooking something...
Defined a service on a host like such...
define service{
use my_template
host_name my_host
notifications_enabled 0
service_description my_service
check_command my_check!my_variables
}
However, notificaitons are NOT disabled. I previously had them enabled and am
now disabling them after the fact via the config file. Sure my_template has
notifications ENABLED, but my service definition should override that setting.
I have the issue on several checks and I have fixed it by going into the
retention.dat file and blowing out the line about notifications and restarting
nagios.
My theory is I previously disabled and renabled notifications via the webGUI,
then updated the configuration file to disable... and that last GUI enabled
is somehow overriding the one in the config file that says it should be
disabled.
Am I right? Crazy? Just doesn't seem to work as I think it would.

Re: [Nagios-users] Object Definitions with Multiple Templates
make sure you have hostgroup definitions setup ...
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name DUMMY2
alias Dummy2 Servers
}
Also NOTE in my test host, I have the line:
use dummy-hosts1,dummy-hosts2
Each defines group DUMMY1 and DUMMY2 respectively...
after restarting Nagios, the host is only a member of the DUMMY2 group.
definining options like this the inheritance overrides settings with the
values of the subsquent templates listed. so the group of the last template
listed is the one used.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Object Definitions with Multiple Templates
I am having a problem getting Nagios to accept multiple templates in
object definitions.
Here is an example. I have two templates defined in templates.cfg:
define host {
use host #This is my generic template with
all my basic options in it
name prod-host
hostgroups prod_servers #Production server host
group
notification_period 24x7
register 0
}
define host {
use host
name win-host
hostgroups win_servers #Windows server host group
register 0
}
Defining an object with either of these templates works fine. However
what I really need to do is:
define host {
use prod-host,win-host
name windows-server
address 192.1.1.1
alias My Windows Production Server
}
Instead when I run nagios -v I get:
Error: Template 'prod-host,win-host' specified in host definition could
not be not found etc.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html indicates
this should be possible, and that the resulting object should have
properties of both hosts, but something isn't working. Am I not
defining something correctly or is this possibly a bug/documentation
error?
Thanks

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin to monitor a file
There is a check called check_file_age which checks file size and age. It can then easily be tweaked (just do the reverse logic) to check a file to see if it was changed/modified.

Re: [Nagios-users] CHECK_MSSQL CRITICAL allways as output when use check_sql for MSSQL checking
Wow, so little time to follow the list, but I've got through all this so I
figure I had to chime in...
Start testing via the command line...
my environment works like...
[r...@server]# ./check_mssql -H mssqlsrvr -p 1433 -t 10 -U user -P password
CHECK_MSSQL OK - SQL Server responded in 0.025192 seconds | time=0.025192s;;
NOTES
1) based on your freetds entry... the servername for the check should be MSSQL
2) are you using windows or SQL Auth? if using windows domain users to auth...
you may need to do -U domain\\user as the username
Also tweak the debug logging and check the logs for other helpful bits.

Hi all,
I am using check_sql for checking MSSQL server ( or I would like to

went ok, in /etc/freetds.conf I have

and when I run ./check_mssql -H sss.sss.sss.sss -p 1433 -U USER -P PASSWORD
I am constantly getting output

Ok, I tried to solve this myself and I found at \

that is recommneded to change host--server in line
my $cs = DBI:$driver: . ($database ? database=$database; : '') .

so I changed that, but still I am getting same output for above command.
I am just trying to get minimal response from MSSQL server, connection
to port 1433 is open and I can connect via
telnet sss.sss.sss.sss 1433 and it works.
Any hint is welcome, I exhausted all my ideas, and thank you in advance
I don't use freetds. Instead, I installed php5-sybase (and any
dependencies if there were any, I can't remember) from the debian
repositories (I'm using Ubuntu).
I can run the plugin from the command line like so:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql -H 10.10.10.123 -U loginid -P mypassword
OK: Connect time=0.004189 seconds.
Of course, the user loginid must be configured in MSSQL with the
password mypassword to authenticate to the database.
Some of our MSSQL servers have a specific instance, in which case you
need to find the port number the instance is listening on, then use
the following syntax to do the check:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mssql -H 10.10.10.123:1375 -u
loginid -P mypassword
OK: Connect time=0.045179 seconds.
(1375 is the port number for this instance but it varies from one to the next)
I found the check_mssql didn't like the hostname syntax when using IP
addresses like this, so I changed it a bit by removing both the
Validate the hostname and Validate the username sections.
I also (very sloppily) altered the part where it checks if the
expected result is emtpy like so:
287c205
if ($querytype == query !empty($expected_result)) {
---
if ($querytype == query (!empty($expected_result) ||
$expected_result == 0)) {
That was because I wanted to do a check which expected a result 0.

Jim

Re: [Nagios-users] Graphing data
Well, unless you have the historical data to jam into the graphing application, it will only be data going forward. I found nagiosgraph simple and easy enough for my nagios setups. It requires RRDtool. If graphing is a critical aspect, I would look for a more robust graphing package though. For us the graphs are just good visuals (for non-technical people) and help us gauge trends. -- Mat W. - http://www.techadre.com Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:33:37 +0100 From: paul.wea...@bbc.co.uk To: gabr...@impactteachers.com; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Graphing data I want to use graphing on my nagios instances, and I was wondering, will it only graph new data from the point of installation onwards, or will it graph history data from the nagios logs? Depends what data you're talking about. Nagios doesn't really do graphs (aside from the trends graphs). Many installations will pass the output from a nagios plugin into another program, nagiosgrapher for example, or cacti I believe, which will graph it. Nagios only logs the states, and the last output on a state change (or restart, or log rotation). If you install something like nagiosgrapher, it will start logging from the moment it's turned on, but wont have historical data. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_smtp issue
What is your service configuration? If you're checking SMTP remotely, there is
no need for NRPE here. I would guess your service configuration is not passing
the correct variables.

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_smtp issue
I have setup check_smtp in my Nagios to possibly check smtp flow.
I have manually tested initiated this command and seems to be ok:
nag...@servedhcp1~/libexec# ./check_smtp -H serveip1.csaa.com -w 3 -c 5 -t 100
SMTP OK - 0.003 sec. response time|time=0.002578s;3.00;5.00;0.00
Configured my cfgs in command.cfg:
define command{
command_name check_smtp
command_line $USER1$/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 25 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -t
$ARG3$
}
Configured on host nrpe:
command[check_smtp]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smtp -p 25 -w 5 -c 8 -t 100
However when I check nagios page, I'm getting this error:
check_smtp: Warning time must be a positive integer
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Please advise.
Thanks!

Re: [Nagios-users] general inquiry of method of install for Nagios 3.1.2 on Fedora 9 system
installing from source should be pretty easy on a Fedora system. any missing dependencies can be installed with yum. the documentation is pretty good on this topic as well letting you know what you may need. make sure you have openssl-devel installed, that always trips most installs up. if you're going to graph, you may want rrdtool. probalby libgd as well. -- Mat W. - http://www.techadre.com From: na...@experisdatacenters.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 14:22:17 + Subject: [Nagios-users] general inquiry of method of install for Nagios 3.1.2 on Fedora 9 system Hi, I am trying to get nagios 3.x to install - I was attempting to upgrade from 2.11 but found too many problems, so I am attempting a new install on a different server - this way no conflicts, etc. I am relatively new to unix/linux so bear with me.

Can you send the configuration for the host and service too? Can you
also send the check_nrpe_parameters command definition.
On the command line, what works?
Also, you said a previous version of Nagios worked with this
definition - which version of Nagios was that?

Re: [Nagios-users] Infrastructure help!
Alot depends on the type of checks, the check frequency, and timeout values. For example, we have ALOT of webinject (perl script) tests which can take 20-40 seconds to complete. With a retry_interval of 1min, when we have some issues, we can quickly have many checks running simultaneously (even hanging, waiting for the 60sec timeout). This can quickly suck memory and may cause Nagios to crash. In my situation, I have several small VPS systems that do external monitoring, testing and development that check to ensure Nagios is running on the our core monitoring box and page me to death if that check fails. :-) On a very reasonable spec'd server I'm sure you should be able to handle it. -- Mat W. - http://www.techadre.com From: t.h.amund...@usit.uio.no To: harald.boehme...@bertelsmann.de Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:44:41 +0200 CC: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Infrastructure help!

Our current VM which has aprox. 1200 services and 200 hosts will be deleted and a new distributed monitoring will be setup. Thing is, we need to monitor aprox. 500 hosts with aprox. 6000 services. Almost all Servers are in a single location. So there should be no need for Nagios probes distributed on big locations... Has anyone had an experience with Nagios with this ammount of hosts/services to be monitored? I need a basic guidance regarding hardware and distribution model to be used. We currently have ~850 host and ~13000 service checks running on a single, standalone server. The hardware is nothing fancy, a plain HP ProLiant DL360 G5 with 8GB of RAM. You should be fine with a single server, but there are a few things to look out for: * The 'enable_environment_macro' should be set to 0. Enabling this config option seriously increased the load on our server. * PNP4Nagios and similar addons may significantly increase the load on your server. We collect perfdata and use PNP4Nagios for only a few select services. * The Nagios embedded perl interpreter (ePN) was a major PITA, it leaked memory and we ended up compiling Nagios without ePN completely. * You may have to adjust the command_check_interval and similar config settings. * We mostly use NRPE plugins and only monitor UNIX/Linux hosts. You may have to take care not to use plugins that consume a lot of resources on your Nagios server. These are the only tuning tips I can think of for now, but YMMV :) We don't use distributed monitoring, but are looking into it. When a more streamlined clustered Nagios setup becomes available for production use (probably with the Merlin backend), we will definately be interested.

My guess, though - just a hunch - is that you may be accidentally including the same file twice in your nagios.cfg. For instance, you may have explicitly specified it in nagios.cfg, and it may also get automatically included because it is in the conf.d directory. Another possibility is that the directory structures of the old and new nagios servers don't match, and you somehow ended up with two separate command.cfg files.

We currently have a Nagios 2.6 server running, and I wanted to import the configuration files into the newer server. To that end, I have placed the appropriate configuration files in the /etc/nagios3/conf.d directory, and modified the nagios.cfg file to reflect the location of the configuration files. I ran the preflight check and the following error message appeared on-screen: /usr/sbin/nagios3 -v /etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg Nagios 3.0.6 Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Ethan Galstad (http://www.nagios.org) Last Modified: 12-01-2008 License: GPL Reading configuration data...

Re: [Nagios-users] socket time out
sounds like a possible connectivity issue between the boxes... check connectivity, services, firewall settings, and DNS (if using host addresses vs. IPs). that's my usual run down of issues. -- Mat W. - http://www.techadre.com Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:20:25 -0400 From: prmsr...@gmail.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] socket time out Hello guys, We are facing problem with one windows server that has socket time out error for a long time.
