[Nagios-users] How many hosts and services are you monitoring with Nagios?
Hi, I like it when people periodically post numbers and architecture summaries, I am guessing with the distributed frameworks out now for Nagios this thread might be seeing bigger numbers than past threads have. 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. What kinds of numbers of hosts and services are you all monitoring? Which add-ons / distributed frameworks are you using? -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [Nagios-users] Average Check latency and execution time growth - 3.2.3
What minor RHEL rev are you running? We had one poller that was running RHEL 5.3 that had constantly increasing latency - a Compaw / AMD based host. None of the optimizations / configuration changes we made to the other pollers we ran at the time seemed to help this one - we updated the poller in-box from 5.3 to 5.4 and voila - issue gone. As Joerge mentioned, probably was a memory leak / bug in a library the parent Nagios poller process was using, we never did determine which one and we haven't hit that same issue since then with any 5.4 or 5.5 pollers. Even with stable software we end up bouncing our pollers every 2-3 days - 1) because we have an active customer base who make config changes often and 2) because we take the metrics from the checks and put them in a time series data warehouse that is sensitive to interval skew...any poller that hits 10 seconds latency has to be bounced. We are at 12 pollers or so right now and we will be up to almost 20 by next year at this time.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification configuration (Was [Nagios-devel] RFC/RFP: Service parents)
Andreas, On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 7:57 AM, Andreas Ericsson a...@op5.se wrote: Any plans to detatch notification attributes from service / host definitions in 4.x and make them their own top-level configuration class like escalations to make it easier to scale notification definitions for large projects? Not really. What would such an object look like? How would it add additional benefit compared to using templates for hosts and services? I think if I could just see some sort of example definition of it I'd get an inkling of why some seem to think it's such a great idea. Right now, I see no additional benefit to it. It would look just like an escalation. What doesn't work well for large configurations with notification policies being stuck into host and service objects is this scenario (which is the one we are in at work by design): * Multiple configuration editors who own various parts of the Nagios configuration tree - in our case this used to be one big tree, now we have set up separate trees for separate projects - we have about 20-30 people who can edit their project-specific configurations. * A set of services that are global in nature - service - hostgroup - host - baseline monitoring required by all projects using standards established by multiple organizations in our company - for our example, base host monitoring with an SNMP agent (6 services across every host) - we have other global services as well and a core team who develop, maintain an augment both our distributed Nagios software and these global services and configurations * A set of services that are specific to each project using our distributed variant of Nagios - managed by subject matter experts on each team. With this scenario, how do we let each group that is responsible for hosts that have these global services on them create individually tailored notification policies since there is one notification policy per service? * We configure our base service and host to 'notify' on every state change using the command name do_nothing * We created a custom patch so that when the string 'do_nothing' is seen in the command name this state change only increments the notification count - it does not trigger any external command to run * We created a patch (partial - no serialization to disk) for escalation logic that tracks in memory when a fault escalation was sent so that OK escalations are only sent in response to something that was in a fault state. We are working on completing this patch so that across restarts the state is saved. * We have all groups use escalations to define their notification policies - the service and host notification commands then trigger our distributed pollers to send escalation requests to a network-based notification service we have that then lets the notification requests trigger email, SMS, SNMP traps, etc without having to re-configure Nagios for every notification transport /. method change. Yeah, it is very ugly, and why? Because 1 notification policy per service, that doesn't scale well when taking advantage of service - hostgroup - host mappings, which is a critical pattern to use when scaling a configuration. We have over 9000 hosts being monitored by our distributed framework (and growing) with around 30 configuration editors and 120+ users. Our distributed framework was centralized and a ''one project for all but now is a cluster of distributed set ups, one distributed set up per project, which is scaling nicely. Our largest distributed installations have 3900 and 5100 hosts in them respectively - we have 4 other distributed instances that are just getting ramped up and only have a few dozen hosts apiece at this point. So while this is ugly, it works! All editors can define escalation objects that take into account both their individual needs for global service notifications as well as any project-specific notifications - and by putting project-specific hosts in project-specific host groups, for most groups, two escalation policy definitions are all that are needed per project - one for hosts, one for services. If all notifications were just done through an escalation like configuration object, life for a big project would be much easier. 1) Having notifications clearly separated as their own configuration template in the Nagios DSL makes it much less confusing for people new to Nagios to understand 'where to configure notifications' 2) The configuration flexibility of the escalation template makes it very easy to work with for a large configuration. Our global and project specific scenario and all the notification changes we made is also serving us very well as we grow. Notifications as separate objects would let us back out a number of patches and would reallly simplify our configuraiton and let our pollers run hotter . - Max -- What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!

Re: [Nagios-users] Which GUI to configure Nagios 3 ?
We do have 60+ sysadmins using a shared instance of Nagios without a configuration UI - all Nagios configuration files are in SVN, current we monitor around 5300 hosts. We found with a little training the sysadmins were happy to take the hit on learning in order to have the flexibility of the full power of the config language. We avoided implementing or integrating a web-based UI because all of them take away various capabilities of the language - we did not want to treat our audience like dummies, so instead we went the path of providing training and mentoring to them and empowered them to use the language themselves. Was this a lot of work for us, especially when we started? YES. Was it an approach that respected our user base and gave them the ability to do what they needed to do with minimal intervention from us?

Re: [Nagios-users] Multi-site frontend options
Definitely check out Merlin - through configuration you can have Nagios instances communicate events with each other using a few types of relationships and you can then serialize the data from an instance to a database for either using their custom UI or making one of your own. http://www.op5.org/community/plugin-inventory/op5-projects/merlin When we used it back in early 2010 it was not quite ready with regards to event distribution but I would think it is more mature by now - definitely worth spending some proof of concept time on to explore as an option. We have been using the database serialization portion of Merlin for the last 1.5 years, we have made mods for it to meet our purposes (hope to share some of that code soon on our github account - one cool thing we added was threaded MySQL connections from Merlind to the database which increased throughput tremendously). - Max -- Free Software Download: Index, Search Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.

Re: [Nagios-users] NAGIOS does not register Critical | Warning status.
There is a debug level you can set in nagios.cfg that will show you all commands being executed - an easier way would be to make a shell wrapper for check_int that logs all args and then execs them with the real check_int. Something like 1. Copy check_int to check_int.bin 2. Make check_int a shell script like !#/bin/bash echo $* /path/tlo/logfile.log exec /path/to/check_int.bin $* Now whenever check_int is called, the full command line and args will be appended to the log each run for you to inspect - without cranking up debug or restarting nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] high latency
Latency increases much more quickly for us without epn as execution times are noticably longer per check. We use rhel 5.x, so the perl is 5.8.8. We have semi dailoy updates to our pollers and with epn that means cold restarts - memory leaks have not been noticable given that scenrio, but on test hosts or hosts where we are doing burn ins it is negligable enough that we can go for 2-3 days with no memory issues - we always hit service latency thresholds first. 7 seconds is in general where we have to force a restart of our pollers to prevent metric collection and snmp delta calculation issues.

Re: [Nagios-users] Alleviating Nagios i/o contention problem
I like the suggestions Matthias makes; those suggestions have worked
well for us.
RRD updates are very expensive - I am pretty sure without knowing
anything more about your system that the RRD writes are causing most
of the I/O load.
Our current largest Nagios-based system has around 7500 hosts and
around 40k active services spread across 4 pollers - the four pollers
send perfdata to two report servers that do nothing but host the trap
databases for traps from SNMPTT from the pollers, RRD files / PNP web
UI, and the server side of our client/server notification system. The
snmptt dbs and notification server dbs are replicated master master
between the two hosts. Even with rrdcached and raid 10 these hosts
regularly have 3 - 10 pct I/O wait.
We hope to lower that number a bit by moving the DBs onto separate
dedicated DB hosts.

Greetings, listers,
We've got an on-going issue with i/o contention. There's the obvious
problem that we've got a whole lot of things all writing to the same
partition. In this case, there's just one big chunk of RAID 5 disk on a
single controller so I don't believe that making more partitions is
going to help.
On this same partition we have:
1) Nagios 3.2.1 running as the central/reporting server for a couple of
other Nagios nodes that are sending check results via NSCA.
Approximately 6-7K checks.
2) pnp4nagios 0.6.2 (with rrd 1.4.2) writing graph data.
There's a 2nd server configured identically to the first that's acting
as a hot spare so it also receives check data from the 2 distributed
nodes and writes its own copy of the graph data locally as well.
At the moment I'm concerned about the graphdata, but because I can only
see i/o utilization as an aggregate, I can't tell what is the worst
component on that filesystem -- status.dat updates? graph data? writes
to the var/spool directory? We also look at continued growth so this is
only going to get worse.
These systems are quite lightly loaded from a CPU (2 dual-core CPUs) and
memory (4GB) perspective, but the i/o to the nagios filesystem is
queuing now.
We're about to order new hardware for these servers and I want to make a
reasonable choice. I'd like to make some reasonable changes without
requiring too exotic of a setup. I believe these servers are currently
Dell 2950s and they're all running Suse Linux 10.3 SP2.
My first thought was to potentially move the graphs to a NAS share which
would shift that i/o to the network. I don't know how that would work
though and it would ultimately be an experiment.
What experiences do people out there have handling this kind of i/o and
what have you done to ease it?
You didn't say how many of your checks create perfdata - but I assume
that most of your disk I/O is related to RRD updates.
RRD cached (see http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/rrdcached for PNP
integration) is a good means to collect multiple RRD updates and burst
write the RRD files.
status.dat and the checkresults directory are always good candidates to
be stored on a ramdisk, especially since they're volatile data. As a
side note: status.dat on ramdisk is a pure boost for the CGIs :).
I know people which also store nagios.log on a ramdisk and regularily
save them via rsync onto a hard disk.
My own systems with ~4000 checks and ~20.000 performance relevant data
sets went down from 30% to less than 2% wait I/O with rrdcached and
ramdisk use.
Cheers,
-Matthias

Re: [Nagios-users] Enumerating Interfaces
What I have done in the past and currently do is that each port that
is connected to another networking device is modelled as a Nagios host
- the host check is then the SNMP port status and the IF stats are
collected as services on the host. The parent of the port is the
network device itself and that way any child devices can be associated
with the port and will be marked as unreachable should the port be
administratively or operationally turned down.

I'm using PNP4Nagios, so I wrote a custom script to check the

single check is telling me status, throughput, errors, and discards...
I am running into one problem, though, and I'm not sure how to handle
it.. How are you handling parent/child for these ports, or are you? In
other words, I'd like to pair the device connected to the port with the
port itself. However, I'm enumerating each switch for the ports, so I
don't have individual services for each device/port combo... My config
looks something like this :
define service {
use service-standard
hosts fcswitch1.example.com,fcswitch2.example.com
servicegroups fc-switch-standard
service_description Switch Port fc1/1
check_command check_snmp_traffic!fc1/1!-C $USER2$
}
I think I'm going to have to enumerate each host/port combo, or live
without parent/child... *sigh*

We have done a distributed variant of Nagios as well - our non-distributed pollers (Compaq 380s with 8 GB RAM + RAID 10) poll 2k host checks (every 10 minutes) and 11k service checks (avg interval 5 minutes), all checks send performance data through a NEB module as well to our performance data processing tier - with our distributed code in place that falls to around 1.5k host checks and 8-9k service checks per poller. Average non-distributed host and service check latency around 1.2 seconds, distributed around 2.4 seconds.

We will be releasing our distributed variant as open source software in the next month or so - i suspect that our methodology is org specific enough that it will not work for many places, but for higher volume polling it might be worthwhile to adopt and some of the concepts and metholodigies in it we hope will lead to sparking ideas in others for better ways to do distributed Nagios. We also take the approach of pushing out configs to remote pollers - we have a redundant UI tier where we stage a configuration - after the configuration is staged, we have code (will allow for manual operator adjustment in a dot release) that will equally distribute checks among pollers desginated as being available for use - that code then builds out a common retention.dat file for all pollers along with objects.pre-cache files for each poller - those files are pushed out to each poller and the pollers are restarted (yes, we have thought through and worked out all the synchronization issues involved). Our UI then lets users take the actions the Nagios Ui does and knows where to send the commands to affect the real poller instances. Working well so far, and as with all the alternate Nagios UIs, we are able to make a much more intuitive and flexible UI.

Re: [Nagios-users] Applying a multiplier to check_snmp results
I have written and maintain a perl library that extends Nagios::Plugin - it is called Nagios::Plugin::SNMP. It is available on CPAN and while it does not take the complexity out of SNMP data it does simplify writing plugins that retrieve SNMP data. The team I am on at my job uses it extensively - you might find it helpful for creating custom plugins tht need to not only retrieve but also cook SNMP data before doing thresholding on it. - Max On 8/12/10, Hall, JC jh...@iodatacenters.com wrote: I certainly wish I could do that.

Re: [Nagios-users] checks per host

I'm pushing nagios to a number of servers and the list of things I want to monitor keeps growing. For some servers, I've got 30 checks - some 50. what is normal out there? is there a practical limit? The limit is what your HW can handle and what your people can handle seeing per host. Our teams try to make checks that check multiple elements at once to reduce the numbers of checks per host without loss of alarm granularity - for example, our disk checks check all partitions on a host and allow for rich thresholding - user can specify many thresholds to check per service. Same for critical processes - one check to look for all critical processes and report any that have failed. - Max -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Re: [Nagios-users] Running Nagios on Vmware
Kent Saunders wrote: We run a large part of our environment on VMware, however there are certain things that we deem worthy of hardware, Nagios being one of them. Since we rely on Nagios to inform us of problems across our environment, we need it to be highly reliable, with performance being a lesser consideration. We've experience issues with VMware that cause large numbers of guests to lock up, and if this happened to Nagios we wouldn't know, or have as deep a level of alerting. However, if you really like the idea of running it in a vm, I'd suggest putting a simple is Nagios alive type test outside VMware somewhere, to give you an extra layer of protection should the guest have troubles. Same here. We take the philosophy with wanting Nagios on separate hardware running nothing else but monitoring and graphing/trending. For the exact same reasons listed, we want to know if there's a problem with one of our virtualization servers, and if Nagios was a VM on the same box that's having a problem, we wouldn't get those notifications. My Nagios instance is on an older server with a RAID 1, and of course backed up, so it could easily be restored should the machine die. Of course running it as a VM allows the use of snapshots and very very easy backup and restores, but I still think having it isolated is important.

Also, that the plugin reports missing EMMs seems like a misfeature. Can you post the output from the following commands: On the monitored host: omreport storage enclosure controller=id enclosure=id info=temps omreport storage enclosure controller=id enclosure=id info=emms Replace id with controller/enclosure pairs. You'll get the enclosure and controller IDs with commands omreport storage controller omreport storage enclosure Also, since you're checking with SNMP, I'll need the output from an snmpwalk of the enclosures wrt. temperatures and EMMs. From the Nagios server: snmpwalk -v2c -c community hostname 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.11 snmpwalk -v2c -c community hostname 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.13 If you are uncomfortable with posting this information on the mailinglist, feel free to email me directly.

Re: [Nagios-users] Help - I just blew away my configs
Shows running settings (config.cgi) Objects.cache contains a flattened version of all the configuration objects your configuration tree had; the primary loss is that there are no templates in objects.cache, so you will have to recreate those. Isave a copy of objects.cache in a very safe place off server and save a copy on server - nagios has a command line option that will let you start it using an objects.cache formatted file ( search for pre-cached configs)m If you had plugins in your config tree those are lost, cgi.cfg settings are lost, nagios.cfg settings are lost, and resource.cfg settings are lost - minus resource.cfg the rest are pretty eady to redo (as resource.cfg might have had passwords or other unique info.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Postemsg
The main things you will not get from Nagios that you almost always get with Tivoli: * High recurring licensing fees * On-site Tivoli consultants :) Nagios does not give you out of the box the visualization dashboards that Tivoli has but with Nagviz you can you make very nice graphical dashboards at a much much lower cost to your company. Nagios also does not do auto-discovery out of the box but there are projects that give you that capabililty - again at a much lower cost. Distributed Nagios - there are a few choices, you will need to take the time to evaluate them all and choose the right one for you, but again, cost will be lower than Tivoli. The team I am on is building out a distributed architecture for Nagios based on our unique requirements - self service model where many SAs can all change configs on their schedule without our intervention, clustering, fast redistribution of hosts/services across pollers, centralized transparent (to the end user) command and control across all pollers. We are using some existing tools (Nagios and Merlin) and 4 developers and even then the TCO and maintenance cost will be magnitudes of order cheaper than Tivoli with much more functionality than most Tivoli shops offer. A polling model always has some challenges when it comes to scaling big but compared to Tivoli I think you will find Nagios to be both a lot more fun, a lot more flexible, a lot better fit, and, if politics don't interfere, your management should be much more happy with a fixed cost development price tag than the high $$ open ended maintenance costs of a commercial product like Tivoli. - Max On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 10:19 AM, steve f a31mod...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello All, I am currently looking for an alternative to using Tivoli , TEC postemsg for a rather large ( 6000 + ) remote environment.

One common pattern for this is to give the clustered host the name of the URL it represents, e.g. if the cluster represented the web service http://www.example.com I would use example.com as the name. If the cluster is behind a VIP, even better, you can then use the VIP IP as the 'virtual host' object IP. - Max -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitor Java Process
You could use check_proc via NRPE or al custom SNMP base check SNMP agent (HR MIB or an agent specific MIB). A number of SnMP agents can be configured to send SnMP trpas when monitored processes exit. The Sun JVM also has a built in SNMP agent that exposes thread count, heap size and some other base JVM metrics. This agent can easily be proxied through an agent like Net-SNMP so you don't have multiple agent ports to work with. If you are using weblogic, it's built in SNMP agent can be configured to send a variety of SNMP traps, including starting up and shutting down traps.

That is why I keep promoting separating the protocol from the transport. Basically, Nagios protocol data fits into Layer 6 or 7 of the OSI model, while the encryption and authentication really should be handled by layer 4 or 5. We have written in addtion to our other agents an HTTP-based agent that uses either RESTful or non RESTful style URLs for requests. Creating an HTTP RESTful style interface spec would be a pretty clean way to define a standard without getting into implementation discussions and would provide a common ground for plugins. As with SNMP or SSH HTTP comes with a performance price but more and more with Nagios I am seeing (because it is so flexible) that defining standards for a user group / org that uses Nagios is much harder than performance tuning is. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Nagios-users] Three tier alert system, and how to invoke an external script?

We have a perl script that can be run to send messages, and also a perl script that can connect to our asterisk boxes to make calls. On the first alert, notify group one by email, and ignore the second and third group. If no acknowledgment is recieved, run perl script for SMS with group one by, and group two notify by email If again no acknowledgment is received, run script for phone calls, and script for SMS/email to group three. I would like to know if such a setup is possible, and any hints and tips as to where I should be looking to figure it out. Before I forget, how can I invoke an external script, which is stored on the same server as nagios? You should be able to do all that you want to do by using escalations. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html I'm not certain how to invoke external commands using escalations, but you can notify the first to your e-mail, wait however many minutes for the second notification and have it go to group 2, and then wait another x amount of minutes, then notify group 3.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Integration with IBM TEC ( Tivoli )
Snmp traps are the easiest way to integrate Nagios with other tools that use SNMP. With a little leg work you can use SnMPTT to also receive traps from other SNMP sources and submit them toi Nagios as passive checks. We currently use SNMP traps to integrate Nagios with Spectrum, works quite nicely.
