Re: [Nagios-users] check_nt fails after recent windows 2008 r2 updates
Hi
I had the same
I changed to the latest version of nsclient++ on the windows PC's and use
nrpe on my nagios server.
Define command{
Command_name CheckUpTime
Command_line Check_nrpe -H $HOSTNAME$ -p 5666 -c
CheckUpTime - ShowAll=long
}
That solved it and it works fine on all my windows machines now

updates
Hi,
Did you find any workaround about this topic ?
Thanks.
2013/1/13 doug gold...@ix.netcom.com
After just applying some new windows updates, a few of my check_nt
commands are now failing.
# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H XXX -p 12489 -s password -v
USEDDISKSPACE -l d -w 80 -c 90
Free disk space : Invalid drive
Drive is valid, this is just failing today after windows updates. I
updated my nsclient++ to nscp-0.4.1.73-x64.msi still fails.
# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H XXX -p 12489 -s password -v UPTIME
System Uptime - 0 day(s) 0 hour(s) 0 minute(s)
This data is invalid, was working fine.
# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H XXX -p 12489 -s password -v MEMUSE
-w 80 -c 90
Segmentation fault
This was working fine before the update as well.
Some of the other tests are not returning valid data as well.
Any ideas?

Re: [Nagios-users] Remote event handlers using NRPE
I dont have an answer about your NRPE question, but if i had to guess i would say its not possible with out support compiled in. I did recently find this however: http://www.edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus/ I have it running all kinds of checks via WMI on my domain and it has the ability to restart a hung or dead process, i would recommend you check it out, i like it alot better than NRPE and there is no client to install. Hope that helps.

[Nagios-users] Multiple interfaces on on host (single representation)
Hi Everyone, I'm setting up Nagios on a new server group, these servers all have 1 public IP and one private (internal network) IP. For the basic up/down checks I'd like to ping the public IP, check for the services which is provides, etc. all on the public IP. However for any NRPE stuff, I'd like to bind it to the internal IP address and run all the checks on the local network. The problem is I don't know how to keep from specifying 2 host definitions for each server (ie. an external definition and internal definition). I don't know if it can be done, but I'd like to have one record per server, just for clarity and to avoid confusion. Does this make sense? Can it be done in a reasonable way? Or should I just bite the bullet and make two host definitions per server?

[Nagios-users] NSCA
Firstly many thanks to all that helped me, I finally got distributed servers
up and running.
It seems that there is a lot of discussion about distributed clusters.
Is there a current discussion forum linked to development for this, and how
do I join it
I would like to return some input and help make future versions of nagios
even better
Cheers

I'm not sure what and how to write the central server configs for the

The Distributed Monitoring section of the documentation goes into
pretty specific detail. On the central server, you essentially just
need to make sure that passive checks are enabled program-wide and for
the services you are submitting results for, that nagios is checking
for external commands and that NSCA is configured to write to nagios'
external command file. You must have a matching host{} and service{}
definition for every passive result that you will be submitting.

That is one way of doing it, means changing 2 times per year for DST.

I don't know if there is a better way to do this but what comes to
mind first is to just create two different timeperiods and assign them
to each contact. Assume one person and the nagios server are in CST
and someone else is UTC --
define timeperiod{
nameworkhours-cst
timeperiod_name workhours-cst
monday 09:00-17:00
tuesday 09:00-17:00
wednesday 09:00-17:00
thursday09:00-17:00
friday 09:00-17:00
}
define timeperiod{
nameworkhours-utc
timeperiod_name workhours-utc
monday 14:00-22:00
tuesday 14:00-22:00
wednesday 14:00-22:00
thursday14:00-22:00
friday 14:00-22:00
}
You'd have to change the UTC guy 2x a year to deal with DST time
changes if you honor that in your timezone. There are much more
complex time definitions you could create that could deal with DST if
you wanted.
Also is there a maximum to how many hosts and / or services that can
be monitored by nagios
Depends a lot on hardware you're running it on and the types of checks
you are using. You'll hit some points where you'll probably need to
change your way of doing things (i.e. at ~10,000 active checks you
might need to start looking at moving those to passive checks), etc.
There are others on the list running instances with many 10's of
thousands of checks that might be able to offer insight into those
kinds of things. If you expect to grow large, I'd recommend starting
out with a simple distributed setup and expand as needed.

Or does anyone have any better ideas for solving this problem ? That depends on what your end-goal is, really. Do you want only one server to send notifications, or do you want your central server to be able to generate reports from the data sent in from the slave systems? If only one server should send notifications, I'd recommend using a solution with lower latency that gathering everything and shipping it as an email. One-way UDP communication would be one solution here, I guess, but it does require the network to be physically present at all times (and there's no failure detection what so ever, as UDP is a fire-and-forget protocol). Merlin would help in this case (although it can't send over UDP yet). If it's for reporting reasons, you'd be better off sending the logfiles as emails when they're being rotated and then merging them together on the master server. That means you can't get *accurate* reports more often than the logs are rotated, but since you'll need to sort-merge them anyways, that's still going to be a problem. Neither merlin nor NSCA can help here, I'm afraid, as entries in the logs would get completely jumbled unless you sort-merge them before taking generating reports from them. Thanks for the detailed info Andreas. I still think the nagios event - email - nagios server is the only realistic solution. It's not perfect as mail servers can fail and mail can get delayed but it's the best we can do at the moment.

Hi Ton thanks for the info. It's not that the connections will be up/down it's more that they simply won't be there.

So I'll have nagios clients - nagios - send_email - primary nagios server - postfix - mail filter - send_nsca - nagios If I get this working I'll treat myself to curry :) From: Ton Voon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 November 2008 15:35 To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed monitoring without direct networkconnection Thanks for the plug, but Opsview is not really suitable for this. We have distributed monitoring out-of-the-box, but it requires the permanent connection between slaves and the master which Nick says he hasn't got. If you will have temporary connections (that go up and down), we have been thinking whether we can do batched results from slaves, though this is quite a big job as it requires changes to a lot of components (Nagios, NSCA, NDOutils, and our datawarehouse). Let us know if you fancy sponsoring this work. Otherwise, why can't you just have notifications from the other servers? Do you need to correlate with your central server?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problems with passive service
monitoring andfreshness alerting
Hello,
I am using Nagios v2.3 with passive service checking and I am having
problems getting freshness to work in exactly the way I want.
Our external scripts which check the services write to the Nagios
command file every minute. I want Nagios to alert me if there is no
status check for the service after 5 minutes, then every 60 minutes
while the status remains stale.
However very frequently Nagios is alerting me despite a status being
received within the freshness_threshold, e.g.:
[1217966117] EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;servera;webservice1;0;Active sessions 3
[1217966165] EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;servera;wesbervice1;0;Active sessions 3
[1217966191] Warning: The results of service 'webservice1' on host
'servera' are stale by 50 seconds (threshold=90 seconds). I'm forcing
an immediate check of the service.
[1217966201] SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
nick;servera;webservice1;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;No servera
webservice1
status report inside the freshness interval
I think part of the problem is Nagios is using X in stale by
X seconds
rather than freshness_threshold or normal_check_interval to run the
freshness check. How do I change X, disable these warnings, and/or at
least get Nagios to run the freshness check at (or near) the actual
threshold?
Also I've set max_check_attempts to 7 but Nagios doesn't always seem to
reset the SOFT count back to after a status of the service is
received -
possibly a symptom of the same problem.
I've tried various combination of freshness_threshold,
normal_check_interval, retry_check_interval, and max_check_attempts to
no avail. Anyhow the relevant portions of my Nagios configuration are
below.
Any suggestions about configuring Nagios to do what I want to achieve?
Thanks,
Nick.

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notification commands
Thanks for the reply Peter, however that isn't what the problem is in my case. The /var/spool/sms/outgoing directory on that server is in fact world-writable. And as I said I can run it from the command line successfully while logged in as the nagios user, which I wouldn't be able to do if the permissions were not right. Keep in mind that SMS Tools is running on a different server, and I'm using SCP to copy the file to that server. Any other ideas? Thanks anyway. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Hallam Sent: Friday, 30 November 2007 2:33 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notification commands Having just solved this problem this week: chmod g+w /var/spool/sms/outgoing chgrp nagios /var/spool/sms/outgoing This should enable nagios to write to the directory using your script.

[Nagios-users] SMS notification commands
Hi, I need to be able to send notifications via SMS in the event that the
email servers are unavailable, or the internet connection is down. There is
a server on the same network as the Nagios host that has a modem installed
and uses SMS Tools 3 to send messages. To send a message all I need to do is
place a file in a certain directory on that server, in a simple format, and
it does the rest.
So, I created a script called 'notify-by-sms' in /usr/local/nagios/libexec
which is as follows:
TMPFILE=`/bin/mktemp notify.XX`
/bin/echo -e $1 $TMPFILE
/usr/bin/scp $TMPFILE sms-server:/var/spool/sms/outgoing/
rm $TMPFILE
The script is owned by the user nagios and is executable. To run it I just
need to pass it a string like To: phonenumber\n\nmessagebody as the
only parameter. If I run it from the command line while logged in as nagios
it works fine.
I have the following in commands.cfg which I adapted from
notify-service-by-email and notify-host-by-email:
# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-sms
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-sms To:
$CONTACTPAGER$\n\n* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n
}
# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-sms
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-sms To:
$CONTACTPAGER$\n\n* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$
}
I see the following in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log, as an example (I
have replaced some things with ...):
[1196327641] SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
contactname;servername;SyncServer;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-sms;CRITICA
L - Error Fetching http://ipaddress/sync/ds [503] Service Temporarily
Unavailable
however the sms is not received. It does not even appear in the log on the
SMS server which indicates the script isn't running or isn't able to scp the
file to that server. I am using public key authentication to negate the need
for a SSH password to be entered.
Any ideas what the problem could be, when it runs manually from the command
line but not through the nagios daemon?
Thank you,
Nick

[Nagios-users] Plugin alerts
I am using the chkNmapScan.pl plugin. The plugin is working fine, but it
never emails me alerts. My check_TCP plugin also does not alert me. The
normal ping/check_host_alive one is fine.
Any ideas?
My contacts.cfg is
define contact{
contact_nameNick_Weaver
alias Nagios Admin

[Nagios-users] Referencing hostgroups in hostgroup definitions
Hi folks, I have devices on my network that are dumb (unmanaged switches, DSL/cable modems, etc.) that I have host definitions for but set to never notify. These devices are simply entered to get displayed in the Status map diagram to show parent device relationships. I have a hostgroup defined that explicitly lists the dumb hosts in the members directive named DUMBHOSTS. I want a hostgroup that includes everything except the dumb hosts so I can have just the responsive hosts listed in the Service Status Details For All Hosts page. I tried !DUMBHOSTS in the members directive, but Nagios complains about Error: Could not find any host matching 'DUMBHOSTS' Error: Could not expand member hosts specified in hostgroup (config file ...) Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance, -- n - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Nagios-users] Trouble creating dependencies
Hi,
I'm having trouble creating dependencies on my fairly small scale
nagios installation
I am monitoring our remote office, which has a DSL link and VPN
between here and there. As its DSL and on occasion goes down I'm
trying to get nagios to stop monitoring the fileservers over there too.
I have created my dependencies.cfg file in etc/ edited nagios.cfg so
the dependencies file is being looked at.
As a start I'm just trying to get nagios to not look at the 'Check
host down' service on one of the fileservers over there, so here is
my initial dependency within dependencies.cfg
define servicedependency {
dependent_host_name fileserver
dependent_service_description Check Host Alive
host_name curtainroadgateway
service_description Check Host Alive
execution_failure_criteria c
notification_failure_criteria c
}
Everything is critical at the moment because the office is empty and
the fileservers are off, also the dsl is disconnected, yet nagios
continues to show critical for the fileserver.
When starting up nagios there are no errors.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks
Nick

[Nagios-users] Turning off windows hosts at temp limit
I've got problems with our air conditioning cutting out when the external temperature reaches 30 degrees C, the main source of heat in our server room is the render farm which isn't as necessarily as the file servers, so I'd like to be able to automatically turn them off. They are all windows 2000 hosts, and not being all that well versed with scripting on windows I'm not sure how this would work. So any ideas on how to get this working?

[Nagios-users] Making alarms less sensitive
Is there any way of making nagios a bit less sensitive to outages? I have it setup monitoring a webserver that will often go away for a few seconds and come back which nagios will quite rightly report on. I just wondered how i'd go about extending the down time before notify to say 10 mins? --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Re: [Nagios-users] UK SMS alerts
