What is the easiest way to temporarily suspend event handlers? Globally, enable_event_handlers nagios.cfg. Per service/host: event_handler_enabled in the definition. However I would recommend you to use the $HOSTDOWNTIME$ and $SERVICEDOWNTIME$ macros in your event handler definitions. If these macros are non-zero, the service/host is in scheduled downtime. This will allow you to have your event handlers decide how to proceed - maybe you'd like a different action to be taken when there's scheduled downtime.

It does not correspond exactly, necessarily (and, in fact, most likely

check_ldap is defined as:

and I can't find any difference to the shell command above.

Re: [Nagios-users] Remote restart by ssh
Looks like the restarter script is coded to restart the service on the 3rd SOFT
non-OK status.
The log shows Soft1, Soft2 then Hard3. Looks like you have to restart service
in the script on the 2nd Soft status to avoid the HARD state or change the
retry count to allow for 3 SOFT status before the HARD.
That being said, the service should have been restarted following the HARD,
CRITICAL call.

Tks to everyone. Let me explain the situation. The service in question is a software developed by my own company. This service consumes files in a defined directory, generated by other program. This is the metric i use to monitor. Like any software in constant development, it will eventualy crash or freeze. Doing so, the files on the directory end up accumulating. If the number of files cross the threshold, the warn or crit flag is set up. We DO check why the service stoped, but the service must be up and running as fast as possible, so this is why we restart the service. Later we can check what is going wrong. I also made, some months ago, a simple bash script that monitors the # of files, restart the service if necessary and logs this kind of event. What i do not know if this is the best aproach. Nagios gives me the visual tools to se in real time in a big panel if everything is OK with my servers. So i though if it can take proactives actions and if this aproach would be better than my simple scripts. dave stern - e-mail.pluribus.unum escreveu: Ok, everyone agrees event handler can take action to fix a problem but bear in mind that this comes with caveats. Affectively, nagios event handler is treating a symptom; the disease goes merely on its way. If a service stops, WHY did it stop in the first place? Most good sysadmins would tackle the problem from the system end to insure that the service would never fail again. Furthermore, let's say a service failed for a reason, eg out of disk space. What good what it do to restart the service again? And if you build smarts into the event handler to look for and fix such a condition, is that the ONLY condition that could occur to stop this service? Having said all this, event handlers do have their place. We in fact use them to shut down hosts if the temperature gets too hot.

Re: [Nagios-users] can nagios take some pro-active actions?
Using nagios event_handlers provided a couple benefits. First, you can configure when to restart or correct the service. You can wait for the 2nd or 3rd SOFT non-OK status to perform the corrective action. This takes into account false-positives (as described in another thread today) and will avoid corrective actions when not needed. Second, by using nagios event_handlers, you have a record of all actions in one place, and visibility to the issue.

Olá Leonardo, Please note that Nagios uses mostly scripts to check services/disk/etc. and that those scripts that 'tell' nagios the status of the service/daemon/disk/etc. That said, I think you should not focus on Nagios to be proactive hence that it's scripts could be used for that. Let's say you have check_http configured to check www.example.comhttp://www.example.com. It would connect to www.example.comhttp://www.example.com on port 80 and report if it suceeds on sending a cmd or not . If something goes wrong, it would send a critical message back. This does not mean that the script is necessarily alerting nagios about the problem, it is alerting whatever called it in the first place. What I mean is, you don't *need* nagios to be in the middle of it and (IMO) you should not try to integrate it into this kind of solution because it would just make things more complicated. One simple way to implement that would be improving the scripts that comes with nagios-plugins. A simple if statement and some coding after it would do the trick. If the script already has the capability to check the status of something and be aware of the present status and take active measures . Interfere with the function that prints the message CRITICAL to make it, for eg., ssh -T host /etc/init.d/apache2 restart. This email might be a little confusing cause I'm not thinking proper english this morning, but I would be happy to help you in our both mother language (portuguese) if you prefer.

I have a very small setup (2 linux server being monitored via npre by a third linux server) and i'd wrote some bash scripts to monitor some of the services that we run on those services (proprietary services, non-standard ones like ssh, apache and that stuff). I know Nagios can send sms, email and other things to warn administrators about problems, but can Nagios take any action to fix the problem, like restart the service if reach critical state, or restart the service if the service stays critical for more than 5 minutes? If yes, can someone just point me to the direction i should go? :) Tks in advance, and sorry about my poor english.

Subject: [Nagios-users] wrta not set
Hello,
I have a question that i'm assuming has a quick answer. I've defined a command
as:
define command{
command_namecheck-site
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $ARG1 -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p
5 -t 10
}
which i use to just ping different sites via my services.cfg. So in my
services.cfg i have entries that look like:
define service{
usegeneric-service
display_namecheck_helpdesk
host_namerails_playground
service_descriptioncheck helpdesk
check_command
check-site!helpdesk_url.comhttp://helpdesk_url.com
contactsnagiosadmin
}
Now everything checks out, however when i open up my service page within
nagios, i see all my check-sites have unknown statuses stating:
wrta was not set
Looking at the check_ping plugin it states that wrta is set with the -w
option, and looking at my check-site command above, you can see that i hard
code wrta, so i don't understand why it is not working. Trying that command
above on the command line as such:
./check_ping helpdesk_url.comhttp://helpdesk_url.com -w 3000.0,80% -c
5000.0,100% -p 5 -t 10
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 54.82
ms|rta=54.82ms;3000.00;5000.00;0.00 pl=0%;80;100;0
So the syntax should work, i just can't figure out what part i have wrong
that's causing nagios to freak out. Any help would be great?
