I do not need a migration procedure, I just need to understand how to configure a Nagios to start with mysql DB. If you create your own DB to hold all the relationships and information to create the nagios configuration files, you'll end up with Opsview (http://opsview.com) We model the data in the proper way (http://labs.opsview.com/2011/04/managing-security-permissions-for-large-teams-in-opsview/) and then we generate the nagios configuration files appropriately, with distributed monitoring thrown in for free. NagiosQL is mapping the Nagios configuration files into a sql database, which is okay, but try running queries to tell you what you want to know and you'll end up replicating Nagios' configuration algorithms to get the data you need. While our demo site doesn't give you access to the mysql db, I'd recommend you download our latest VM and poke around the DB structures. There's an import script so if you supply your Nagios object.dat file, we'll do a good job at importing your information into Opsview's DB. We've got users that now run DB queries against opsview to give them asset lists. We've got other users that have asset lists external to Opsview, but use the REST API (http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-community:restapi) to update Opsview. All this is much easier by abstracting the Nagios specific information away.

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Nagios Configuration with Passive Checks
On 21 Mar 2011, at 02:43, Samuel Kidman wrote: I am trying to set up a distributed nagios configuration that will monitor n mine-sites. There is a single master server that will accept passive checks from all of the mine sites providing a unified view of network status throughout the organisation. I have set up host groups that represent groups of hosts with similar function and have the same service checks ran against them such as switches and PLCs. Whenever we get a new device I can just add it to the right host group and it gets all of its service checks by being a member of that hostgroup. My question is how do I disable active checks for the service checks for the remote minesites without having to create a separate service check for each site? The only thing I’ve been able to think of is using an external command at nagios start up that checks all of the services on the master server and works out which ones belong to remote sites and then disables active checks on each one, but this seems like a messy way. If there was a way to have host group intersections in the hostgroups property in service checks I could specify two services and two hostgroups – a local and a remote one. The local check applys to its function group AND all devices at the head office while the remote check applies to its function group AND all remote hosts, however at present I think this functionality is unavailable. Just looking for some configuration suggestions on how to get this to work. You want to use templating so that the master is set to active checks enabled no while the slave is set to active checks enabled yes. In Opsview (http://opsview.com), our db based configuration database knows if a host is monitored on the master or on a remote slave. We generate configurations for a host (and services) appropriately. We've also done loads of work so you can manage it from the central master and it will distribute downtimes/acknowledgements/disables to slave systems as well.

Re: [Nagios-users] Suppress Max concurrent service checks messages.
On 12 Nov 2010, at 15:30, Paul M. Dubuc wrote: We're running Nagios 3.2.3 with concurrent service checks set to 40. We can't go much higher than this due to resource constraints outside of Nagios but we're running 329 services at 5 minute intervals (this is a load test of sorts not production load ... yet). Average execution time/latency is 36/11 seconds so we're seeing quite a few messages like this in the Nagios log file: (Informational Message) [11-11-2010 14:55:57] Max concurrent service checks (40) has been reached. Nudging host:service by 9 seconds... Is there any way to suppress these messages from being logged? I don't see an option for logging these in the config file documentation. I put those messages in. Firstly, 40 doesn't necessarily mean there are 40 concurrent service checks running as they may have finished but not been reaped yet (to decrement the counter). Secondly, if you are getting these messages, then either (1) this limit is too low - increase and keep an eye of the load on your nagios server; (2) you've got too many checks running - reduce frequencies/ numbers or setup a slave server. The trouble with the way the nudging works is that it hides the fact that you have latency issues (as the check is rescheduled to a future time). This means nagiostats will not include the additional latency time here. If someone has a better way of working this out, I'm all ears.

Cool - how many active service checks / active host checks per poller? As many as a single nagios instance runs. You can scale out by adding more slaves. We also have a feature where you can have slave clusters to do workload balancing and redundancy, so you can just add another node if hardware is the issue. The bottleneck would be at the central master, but that is very fast because of only processing passive results.

It hooks into Nagios and, for certain commands, writes them out so that a separate process can take those and push it out to slave systems. This is how we solve (1). For (2), we added some new code to Nagios (its in our development repo: http://github.com/tonvoon/opsview-nagios) there is a synchronise ability, at reload time or via an external command called SYNC_STATE_INFORMATION, where it reads a retention.dat-like file and changes certain characteristics of a host/service, such as whether it is acknowledged or not. This allows the Opsview master to be the single source of state information for all its slave systems.

After adding tons of debug messages, I was finally able to track down the problem. The problem is that I added a german holiday in the form october 3 00:00-00:00 In function (all inbase/utils.c) check_time_against_period(), the start time was calculated by calculate_time_from_day_of_month() as 1222988400 (Fri Oct 3 01:00:00 2008), but the end time as 1222984800 (Fri Oct 3 00:00:00 2008), which is /before/ the start, and therefore the time span was expanded to a whole year, i.e. the end now was Oct 3, 2009... Looking deeper into function calculate_time_from_day_of_month(), this is apparently caused by a wrong usage of the call to mktime(), as the field tm_isdst is /not/ initialised properly. The observed 1 hour offset seems to come from an earlier call to this function which returned an active dst flag. According to the IEEE Std 1003.1 [1], the field tm_isdst /is/ used in the time conversion, and should be set to -1 if the dst status is unknown (you may want to write a small test app, setting this flag to -1, 0 or 1 to observe the effect). As mktime() is used frequently in the code without properly initialising this field, this seems to be a systematic bug which can trigger interesting effects in nagios. Any opinions? As you are probably aware, this change has caused the DST bug that has affected a lot of users of Nagios 3.2.0. I have only reverted one instance of the tm_isdst field, which was specifically causing the rescheduling problem. There is a testcase in HEAD ( download from http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/cvs/nagios-HEAD.tar.gz ./configure --enable-libtap make all make test) which tests the DST bug (see t-tap/check_timeperiods.c). However, I think some of the other isdst settings maybe causing other bugs, though I'm not sure. It would be helpful if you could add some test for the problem you have fixed, to prove that the functionality you expect continues to work. I'd be happy to apply to CVS if you have an updated check_timeperiods.c file. Ton -- Come build with us!

Affected are all Nagios versions = 3.1.0. I could reproduce it here: if the patch above is backed out, the scheduling behaves correctly. I've managed to get a libtap test case with the failure now. As you correctly say, removing the t-tm_isdst=-1 in utils.c fixes it. However, the fact it works is lucky. The check is that the scheduled time is between a date_range_start and a date_range_end. This date_range_end is based on the timeperiod definitions. However, an end point of 00:00 is calculated as 24*60*60. Obviously, this is wrong on the day that the clocks go back as there are 25 hours in that day. So removing tm_isdst gets the calculation for the epoch time wrong, but that luckily works because the time falls within the 24 hour period. I've applied the patch to remove that single tm_isdst. Tests are also added now, for this specific issue. Long term, I think it is correct that the isdst flag be set, but there are other problems that are lurking in the code, such as the calculation for the next appropriate time. Any comments?

The problem for me it seems is when nagios is parsing the data just
before it is going to execute the command. It is no problem executes
check_nrpe with ah backslash (\) as the escape char. But the problem
for me is what escape char do i use in custom macros?

Re: [Nagios-users] Periodic Overrides
On 12 Mar 2009, at 15:29, Jason Frisvold wrote: For any given service, what is the accepted method for overriding test values for a specific time period? For example, we have servers that are backed up at a given time each night. During the backup period, load is driven up on the server, exceeding the current threshold. This, in turn, results in alerts being sent out about the server. However, since we know about this in advance, and it's a scheduled service, we'd like to override the load value during the backup period. So if we normally trigger on a load of 2, we'd like to instead trigger on a load of 4 during backups. I know I can create two services with two timeperiods that will handle this, but is there a better way?

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed monitoring without direct network connection
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?

[Nagios-users] Nagios Plugins 1.4.12
Hi! I'm proud to announce the availability of Nagios Plugins 1.4.12. Included in this release is the --extra-opts syntax, available on all the core C based plugins, so you can now specify extra options that would act as if they were passed via the command line. This allows sensitive information to be stored in configuration files away from Nagios and in process listings. See http://nagiosplugins.org/extra- opts for more information. Note, this is only available by setting the configure option --enable-extra-opts, though it will be included by default in a future release. Credit to Thomas Guyot-Sionnest for his hard work in porting this functionality over from the Nagios::Plugins perl module. Speaking of which, this is a reminder that the Nagios::Plugin perl module is also included in this package. You need to run ./configure with --enable-perl-modules to include the perl libraries. This release contains lots of fixes and minor enhancements from Holger Weiss and Matthias Eble. Other highlights of this release: Added ./check_nt -v INSTANCES to count number of instances (Alessandro Ren) New check_icmp -s option to specify the source IP address check_dns now sorts addresses for testing results for more than one returned IP (Matthias Urlichs) Fix segfault in check_ntp_time and (deprecated) check_ntp (Bug #1862300) check_disk should now work with large file systems (2TB+) on all archs that supports it Fixed check_disk disk usage calculation when using --group=NAME (related to bug #1348746) Fix help text of check_ntp* (Bug #1880095) Fix bugs and flaws in best offset server selection of check_ntp_time and (deprecated) check_ntp check_ntp_peer now checks for the LI_ALARM flag Sync to latest Gnulib (includes new floorf function) check_pgsql now successfully builds with postgres lib v8.3 (Bug #1878972) check_procs now accepts --ereg-argument-array for a regular expression match to the argument array Reverted back to using pst3 for Solaris systems. Fixed issues re: - m64 needed to compile on 64bit systems If applicable, Gettext linked dynamically instead of statically check_dig can now pass arguments to dig by using -A/--dig-arguments (#1874041/#1889453) check_ntp and check_ntp_peer now show proper jitter/stratum thresholds longopts in --help check_dns now allow to repeat -a to match multiple possibly returned address (common with load balancers) check_mysql and check_radius now try clearing password in processlist just like check_mysql_query check_mysql and check_mysql_query now support sockets explicitely (- s, --socket) negate now has the ability to replace the status text as well (-s, --substitute) Added performance data to check_ping (Christian Schneemann) Added support for --extra-opts in all C plugins (disabled by default, see configure --help) Updated Nagios::Plugin to 0.27 Fixed passive option in check_by_ssh On non-skipped stderr, check_by_ssh now returns UNKNOWN or worse (result from command) instead of always UNKNOWN.

Re: [Nagios-users] Slow Nagios reloads with NDOUtils
On 16 Nov 2007, at 21:23, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My first problem, and I am not sure it is actually a problem, is that when I do a reload of nagios (/etc/init.d/nagios reload) it takes, what seems to me to be, a long time. It is usually around 90-120 seconds for Nagios to start allowing use of the web interface once the reload is initiated. A check of the files reveals no errors (save one warning for a host with no services) and the nagios process shows in a ps awux list. However the web interface shows the Whoops! Error: Could not read host and service status information! during the 90-120 second delay I mentioned earlier. Hi Mark, There seem to be quite a few emails in this list about NDOUtils being a bit slow. We saw this about 6 months ago and have been optimising the hell out of it, but it boils down to this: - NDO updates are synchronously applied to the database This means that Nagios has to wait for the DB to finish the update before it continues. I believe Ethan is doing something at NDO after Nagios 3 is released. We've done various tricks to try and reduce the time for a reload, which we will blog about on http://altinity.org soon, but I just haven't found the time to do it. The first couple of things that come to mind are: - indexes should be re-arranged so that the time column is first. Currently, a lot of indexes have instance_id first. However, when you are doing a delete based on time, the index is effectively useless, so mysql has to do a complete table scan to work out which rows need to be deleted. This will cause mysql to take a lot of time. This is the single biggest thing that you can do - reduce the amount of times ndo2db calls the housekeeping routine. By default, it is every 60 seconds. We've reduced down to 600 seconds. It could probably be even less frequent. One thing I've just thought is to have ndo2db NOT do any housekeeping and do it yourself (mysql is multi-user after all) - reduce the amount of data sent. We stop the broker module sending systemcommands, log entries and passive commands - we've also patched Nagios to not send status data on a reload. By default, Nagios will send data to ndo about the status of all hosts/ services on a reload. This is not required because the db already knows what the status of the things were before the reload! - we're currently testing a de-coupling of NDOMOD from ndo2db. The idea is that NDOMOD writes files and then a separate daemon loads those files into ndo2db. This effectively means that NDO updates are now asynchronous, though there is now a delay in the updates We've also made a patch to Nagios 2.9 (which Ethan has applied to Nagios 3), where the status file is kept between reloads, so you don't get the dreaded Could not read host and service status information error. That is available at http://altinity.blogs.com/ dotorg/2007/09/nagios-patch-da.html. We love NDOutils - a lot of our features in Opsview depends on it, including our favourite, Hostgroup Hierarchy (http://opsview.org/ hostgrouphierarchy). So we're interested in making NDOutils work as fast as possible too.

I'm trying to avoid having times displayed in a single time zone and having the local admins do time calculations and offsets just to get their systems monitored. I REALLY don't want to have a Nagios server in each time zone if I can in any way avoid it. I think this is as simple as setting TZ=new_timezone before executing the CGIs. This seems to be the case running on command line. What you may want to do is setup different Apache virtual hosts, say http://india.nagios.example.com//cgi-bin/status.cgi, http:/// uk.nagios.example.com/cgi-bin/status.cgi, etc and within each of those virtual hosts in Apache, set the TZ variable. Then, from the website, it is obvious which timezone data you are looking at. I'd also be open to any third-party front ends that may handle this more gracefully than I might. :) As of right now, I'm using PHP and PostgreSQL, and will be building the config files with perl. With Opsview (http://opsview.org), we'd like to incorporate timezone support so that a user can choose their timezone and get data displayed accordingly (http://trac.opsview.org/wiki/RoadMap).

Re: [Nagios-users] Standard Nagios Plugins 1.4.9 and IPv6 problem?

We're looking to changes the modules file for this box to prevent any
component of IPv6 being loaded, but I'm still not convinced that will
dissuade the plugins from going on their merry way.
Sorry to jump in late on this thread.
In the plugins code, the is_hostname routine tries to verify if the
hostname is valid and I think this is through the resolver libraries,
so will use DNS (regardless of OS caching). I think more recent
resolver libraries will try ipv6 resolution before ipv4, which is
beyond the scope of the plugins.
As some people have already pointed out, checking the validity of the
hostname is redundant. The better approach is to just make the call
with the hostname specified on the command line and catch any errors.
I believe this is why your DNS servers see multiple calls for the
same hostname from a single plugin invocation.
While removing the is_hostname calls is not too difficult, making
sure that an appropriate error is propagated into the plugin output
could be quite time-consuming.

It works amazingly well. We wrote it, so we use it :) We use scp to transfer the files across to slaves. The generated config is different between master and slaves, so separate tarballs are created. There's also a validation phase before we synchronise a reload on all Nagios instances. There's a little publicised feature where you can cluster your slaves together, so at configuration generation time, it will split the hosts between the clustered slaves for load balancing. if there's a failure on one slave, the other slave will take over the active checks.

Andy is right, you're missing the -lm in the compile, but using the mysql_config should have picked that up correctly. (Actually, I think that rings a bell about some redhat mysql-devel packages are not sync'd correctly with the mysql packages, so mysql_config gives bogus data -that would be a packaging problem.) If you are using the Altinity patch, can you attach the config.log? We do nightly builds on RHES4U1 and ndoutils always compiles correctly.

[Nagios-users] Simple SMS alerting
Hi! Just wanted to make you aware of a simple way of getting SMS alerting from your Nagios system. For Opsview, we've been working with a company called AQL (http://aql.com) who provide an SMS gateway. We've been speaking to their technical guys and David Precious, a perl developer who has written SMS::AQL (http://search.cpan.org/dist/SMS- AQL/), to get really easy communication with AQL's systems. You can read about it on our blog site: http://altinity.blogs.com/ dotorg/2007/07/sms-alerting-vi.html There's also a script to download, which can then provide you with the mechanism to send your alerts via AQL.

This means that if you've configured check_ping to do (let's say) 5 pings, the check_ping plugin will always take at least 5 seconds to complete. If the check_ping is being run as a host check rather than a service check, my understanding is that this is the only thing Nagios will be doing; it doesn't do anything else concurrently (correct me if I'm wrong people). Correct. We noticed this some time ago too: http://altinity.blogs.com/ dotorg/2006/05/immediate_perfo.html If you do stick to using check_ping, use -p 1 which is sub second response time. In normal operation, nagios will rarely do a host check, as it only usually bothers to if all of the service checks (which can run concurrently) for that host have failed. When lots of hosts go down at once, you suddenly notice how bad it is to have such slow host checks. Nagios 3 will do parallelised host checks, so there will not be a slow down there. Also, Ethan said in his presentation at the Netways conference last year that some of the host unreachable logic was not quite right: http://www.netways.de/uploads/media/Ethan.Galstad_Nagios. 3.and.Beyond.pdf This should be fixed in Nagios 3.

Re: [Nagios-users] Severe peformance issue during major network outage
On 11 May 2007, at 20:25, Aidan Anderson wrote: First of all, thank-you for the replies! The majority of devices that I monitor are routers/vpn devices and I have (on the documentation's advice) not set active checks on the hosts and instead I've added check_ping as a service on each of these hosts to do 5 pings as follows: check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5 For the host check I already use as you suggested a check_ping that only does one ping as follows: check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1 My understanding was that if the service check failed it would then abandon the service check altogether and move onto the host check which is only 1 ping. The fact that the service checks are parallelised should mean that it shouldn't matter that there are 5 pings and the host check is only 1 ping which should resolve the bottleneck of serialised host checks. I'm at a loss as to why performance has been impacted so severely. Maybe I need to abandon the service checks altogether and just have a host check. I'm reluctant to do this because I get very useful information from 5 pings, ie packet loss and high rta which is particularly handy for checking volatile links such as ADSL. Maybe that is the trade-off, fast host checking with no useful stats or slow host checking with useful stats. Just noticed this in your original email: Host Check Execution Time: 0.03 / 10.04 / 0.843 sec This means that some of your host checks are taking 10 seconds, which is, funnily enough, the timeout period for check_ping. So the -p 1 will still take 10 seconds if the routers are not responding. You can use a timeout flag for check_ping (but is only supported on some OSes). I guess check_icmp is a better bet here.

Mysql takes a very long time (around 30 seconds) to run the (from memory) DELETE FROM nagios_servicechecks WHERE instance_id = 1 AND entry_time . query. This holds up other things, though I haven't fully understood where or why. The problem is with the indexes for nagios_servicechecks. We dropped the unique key index, which was (instance_id, service_object, entry_time, uentrysec), and created a new index based on entry_time only. This is much quicker because (a) the index is smaller, (b) mysql can locate the correct rows quicker because it finds the rows based on time, rather than trying to find rows based on instance_id (which is every row in the table - effectively doing a full table scan). (As an aside, mysql will not enforce the uniqueness on that index - it only works for tables of type innodb, not myisam.) Seems like a very bad I idea to drop the unique key index, just create another index that works better with the query. Wise words. I've just discovered that for each servicecheck result, it is inserted into nagios_servicechecks table twice. The first time has results from the previous servicecheck result, but with the current start time. The 2nd time actually has the result from the servicecheck. The insert is done with a INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ..., so with the unique key, it overwrites it. But with the index dropped, there are two entries. (My previous statement about mysql not enforcing the uniqueness of a row is now clearly wrong, so I retract that :) ) Obviously we need to restore the unique index, but the better fix would be to work out why there are two inserts If the query contains WHERE instance_id = 1 and entry_time , create an index on instance_id, entry_time which should make mysql fly a little faster. I think maybe if the order of the index is arranged, it would work much better. For instance, set the unique index to be (start_time, instance_id, service_object_id, start_time_usec). Then for the query, the db will use the start_time first (which will reduce the number of rows to the smallest number found) and then check the instance_id. The trouble was that the previous index returned back all rows (if you only have one instance_id), so a full table scan was required to find the start_time.

Nagios is the world's most popular open source monitoring system, so it would be silly not to. We make a big (http:// altinity.com) deal (http://www.altinity.com/opensourcecommitment) about using Nagios (http://www.opsview.org/), and we continue to publish our changes upstream (http://www.altinity.org) Q: Can I manage Nagios config files using Opsview? A: Yup. We have our web frontend to add or clone hosts, services or contacts. We spend a lot of time making the front end as easy as possible. You don't touch the config files at all Q: Can I do distributed setups? A: Yup, as easy as a drop down selection for a host. Hit reload and we take care of sending all your configs to all the slaves. We even throw in freshness checking and parent child relationships for good measure Q: Do you have a Pro version? A: We only have one version: Opsview. We don't believe in splitting our codebase for marketing reasons - we just want to keep making our core code better. You can call it Pro if you want :) Q: How much does it cost? A: We licence Opsview under the GPL because we believe it is a fundamental right that you can change the code if you want. So the code is free. We make money on support (which you don't have to take) and development (so you can sponsor certain features). Q: So you're open sourcing it? A: That is our plan. We're starting with a publicly available VM, we'll be publishing RPMs and .deb files soon and we will be posting source code releases on Sourceforge. We're already put source code on SF, but they are hard to install or create RPMs. We're getting there. Q: Where can I start? A: I recommend getting the VM image from http:// downloads.opsview.org/ as we've sorted out a lot of the dependency issues. We will have a 2.7 image posted in the next few days, with packages soon after - we'll talk more about that when it is ready.

Or will a crash in NDOMOD cause nagios itself to die as well? (I was thinking of having nagios watch for the NDOMOD process, and if it wasn't there, restart everything...but if nagios goes down too, that obviously won't work) 3) Any ETA on when NDOUtils will be ready? Losing database support was one of the reasons I did not want to upgrade to nagios 2.x. Pointing the cold spare to a database with up-to-date status information is just easy! Nagios will keep running if ndmomod dies; it just won't log to a database any more. It's pretty easy to spot the insertion errors in Nagios's log if/when it happens, or by monitoring the process as you mentioned. I don't think that is strictly true. Since ndomod is running in the same process space as Nagios, a problem with the broker module will cause the main nagios process to die too. However, a failure at ndo2db (that writes to the db) will not affect Nagios. Ton http://www.altinity.com T: +44 (0)870 787 9243 F: +44 (0)845 280 1725 Skype: tonvoon - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Sorry, I meant to say only alerts through each command at most one time (if that's proper English). So the characteristics of the contactprofile define the filters for a particular event, the command defines the type of notification (email, sms, paging, rss) and the above rule stops you getting multiple emails/sms/pages/rss items for a single event.

Re: [Nagios-users] Out of memory failures on Nagios master server
Jonathan, On 9 Mar 2007, at 16:39, Wheeler, JF (Jonathan) wrote: My configuration has a master server and 2 slave servers with about 730 hosts and 16000 service checks. All our systems are running Linux. For some time now the master server has been running out of memory between 4:50 and 5:00 such that the server either kernel panics (rarely) or it kills all useful processes. To try and investigate the problem I have been running at commands to run vmstat 15 160 and date; ps -ef; sleep 15 (160 times) to record system activity at 15 second intervals for 40 minutes, i.e. from 4:30 until 5:10. This has revealed that the problem is caused by a) nsca processes starting and not being completed (today's maximum count was 4447) until they all suddenly complete at about 4:50. You may want to try running nsca in --single mode. You can potentially lose some slave checks, but you would never get the high number of nsca processes. We've seen situations where a high number of nsca processes makes the nagios server crawl, slowing other things down. During this time vmstat shows that memory usage increases slowly, but it is all released when the nsca processes run. About 10 minutes later there are many separate nagios processes which do not complete (183); as the nagios process is quite large this fills system memory and swap space which effectively kills the system. IIRC, passive check results are processed by the main nagios process, so shouldn't be responsible for multiple nagios processes. There are multiple nagios processes for parallelised service checks - perhaps you could restrict the number of parallelised checks?

Re: [Nagios-users] timeouts when using secondary dns
Hi!Just to let you know that I've made a change to CVS today, reported by Pawel Malachowski, where it looked like the plugins were making too many calls to resolver/DNS when the plugins were compiled with IPv6 options enabled.This should reduce the occasions of timeouts. However, I do like the idea of making the Nagios server a caching name server too...TonOn 9 Nov 2006, at 22:25, Steve Shipway wrote: We dealt with this by installing a local caching-only nameserver on the Nagios host itself. This also took a lot of the load off of the main nameservers. So, resolv.conf was set to use 127.0.0.1 by default and have our normal name servers as secondaries.

Re: [Nagios-users] Advanced permissions/user properties
Hi Alex,This is a really interesting idea. We've recently made a patch to Nagios so that a contact will only see the services in the CGIs based on their contact groups - currently Nagios 2.x will show all services if that contact is a contact for the host (which you would normally do so they receive host notifications).Our patch means we use contactgroups to "slice" which services are visible per contact. I'll be blogging about this soon (when I get a spare 30 mins!).However, this still lacks the ability to show some services but only allow changes to a subset, which is what Tobias is interested in.I think the "read/write" attribute needs to be associated with the contact. So this implementation looks more obvious (to me):define contact { name person contactgroups cg1,cg2,cg3 # means can submit commands contactgroups_viewonly cg5,cg6}This would effectively mean the can_submit_commands attribute is redundant, because you just use contactgroups_viewonly instead of contactgroups.Does this make sense?TonOn 3 Nov 2006, at 01:21, Alex Burger wrote:Hi Tobias.I have expanded on the Altinity patch by adding a 'can_submit_commands' and 'can_submit_commands_strict' option to contact groups. The limitation of having a can_submit_commands option on the user is that it's an all or nothing option. A user is either view-only for all devices, or not.I will be using can_submit_commands_strict for people who need to be able to submit commands for the servers and services they manage, but also be able to only view some other servers and devices. I don't want the users to be able to view ALL devices.*can_submit_commands_strict:* You grant users full access to all or some systems, but want to restrict them from issuing commands for a few devices.If a device has multiple contact groups defined and any one of them denies submit commands with can_submit_commands_strict 0, then the user is denied even if the user belongs to a group that permits it.*can_submit_commands:* You grant users read/only access to all systems, but you want to allow the user to issue commands for a few devices.With can_submit_commands, if a device has multiple contact groups defined and any one of them allows submit commands, the user can submit commands.

Ithink other people have run into the same problem (I know thatsomeone has run into a /similar/ problem).I'm running 2.5 on a mid-sized installations (~300 hosts, ~2500services). Thing is, our projects/(host|service)groups varywildly in who is responsible for them. Unfortunately, all theseprojects are also heavily intertwined in their dependencies.Say we have a web mail project A. This consists of severalweb servers, databases and the like. It is heavily dependent onthe LDAP project B and the mail server project C. While B and Chave the same group of admins, project A is managed by anentirely different group of people.As such, we have configured Nagios that the group that isresponsible for project can only see the machines of project A andthe "B-and-C-people" can only see B and C.Everything is peachy.Except. Sometimes, project A may look like it's broken (pagestime out etc). But in reality, there's a spam attack and theproject B (the LDAP infrastructure) is so slow it simply grindsto a halt. In this case it would obviously be nice if the peoplefrom project A could see that project B is slow. Yet they shouldnot be able to change the notification options/acknowledgementsetc etc of projects B or C. The altinity people have created a patch for the "view some,change none" scenario[0]. Unfortunately, what I'd need is amechanism for the "view some, change a few" scenario I outlinedabove.How do others deal with this kind of problem? I'm sure we're notthe only ones who've run into it.As of currently, our best guess would be to createpseudo-accounts (like john.foo and john.foo-admin) and hack theCGI(s) to only allow the commands from -admin accounts which arein the notification list (with notification options set to "n").We already do this to let people see machines they don'tmailed/paged/called about.Regards,Tobias[0] http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2006/02/a_view_some_cha.html -Using Tomcat but need to do more?

If the nagios user runs "mailq", it comes back with a permissions error. However, the plugin does not recognise this correctly and instead says the queue is empty. This has been fixed in the the newer 1.4.4 release.Off the top of my head, on your server, you need to give the nagios user enough permissions to read /var/spool/mailq. You do this by adding the user into the mail group and chmod g+r /var/spool/mailq. Alternatively, you can do what Sjaak has recommended of running this plugin as root via sudo.Warning: I think some system updates may change the permission of /var/spool/mailq back to g-r, but at least the plugin will now return an error correctly :)Tonhttp://www.altinity.comT: +44 (0)870 787 9243F: +44 (0)845 280 1725Skype: tonvoon - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Nagios-users] Availability of Altinity's source code repository
Hi! Just wanted to announce that my company, Altinity, have made our patch repository (http://source.altinity.org) available. This is our latest CVS HEAD of the GPL software that we distribute with Opsview, our monitoring software based on Nagios. In this repository, there are makefiles which apply patches, compile and install various software, including Nagios, NDO Utils and nagiosgraph. We still plan on blogging about our patches on http:// www.altinity.org, but, by having an automated job to push the latest code controlled versions here, you can see what we've done if we are too busy to write about it. This is one of our ways of giving back to the community and it is great to see Ethan apply some of our patches into the central code. Thanks to Netways for running the Nagios Konferenz in Nurember, where I got an opportunity to explain how Altinity are contributing back to the Nagios community. Slides for the conference are available from here: http://www.netways.de/de/nagios_konferenz/archiv_2006/programm/ ablauf/ The official press release is here: http://www.altinity.com/ 80256D6000567191/httpPublicPages/41EBFC2A4BE069FB80256F6C00622808? opendocument Ton http://www.altinity.com T: +44 (0)870 787 9243 F: +44 (0)845 280 1725 Skype: tonvoon - Take Surveys.

I used to work for IBM on their RS/6000 hardware, so I have a fond spot for AIX. However, I don't have any access to servers to develop on. If someone could grant me internet access to their server, I could spend some time on specific problems for the plugins.Alternatively, please consider running tinderbox builds on your AIX server and sending results back: http://tinderbox.altinity.org.

Re: [Nagios-users] Howto force a notification (before the scheduled renotify time) for a down host/critical service ?
Hi Stanley, On 12 Jul 2006, at 00:40, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would like to do this to send out notifications after a period of no-notifications ends (we have the view that people do not react well to even major crises between about midnight and 4-5 am so we don't send notifications during that period. However it would be nice to send out all the notifications for outages that occurred in the no-notification period at 5 am). Sorry, no solutions, just more questions :) We had it reported to us, but we haven't investigated further, that notifications do not get resent for a contact who has a timeperiod outside the original failure. For instance, assume a service has a timeperiod of 05:00 to 23:00 and contacts have timeperiods of 24 hours. If the service fails at 3am, Nagios will schedule the next check at 05:00. If it still fails at 05:00, contacts will be notified. Here's the section that says so in the docs: http:// nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html: [quote] Note: If the [host or service] time period filter is not passed, Nagios will reschedule the next notification for the host or service (if its in a non-OK state) for the next valid time present in the time period. This helps ensure that contacts are notified of problems as soon as possible when the next valid time in time period arrives. [end quote] However, the converse is not true (and is arguably the more likely scenario). Assume the service is 24 hours, but the contacts have a timeperiod of 05:00 to 23:00. If the service fails at 3am, the service is considered to be notified, but the filter for sending notifications to contacts will fail. Contacts will not get notification unless there is a notification retry. We haven't investigated further, but, if the design documented at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html is accurate, that would be the case. I'm not sure what the long-term fix is. Maybe notification_number per contact? Perhaps scheduling of notifications? This is probably one for Ethan.

If the latter, it could be a bug in Nagios, though I'm not sure why.Alternatively, check_oracle will parse /var/opt/oracle/oratab (and other locations) for the ORACLE_HOME variable. Some installations of Oracle use this to know what SIDs are installed on a server.

When I've used check_oracle, I use the --login option instead of --tnsping. This simulates a login, and returns OK if it gets a "invalid login, incorrect username/password". This is a better check because it goes down the entire stack and grabs whatever errors are returned by Oracle (for instance, "shutdown in progress").I assume the Instantclient will still work with check_oracle (as it just needs sqlplus).Tonhttp://www.altinity.comT: +44 (0)870 787 9243F: +44 (0)845 280 1725Skype: tonvoon Using Tomcat but need to do more?
