Re: [Nagios-users] Checking load via snmp
The server and all the devices I will be polling are all Dell PowerEdge servers, the 1750, 1850 and 1950 models. The plugin I am using is what cam in the install. I will look at some options as well as the exchange as there may be others, just saw that and figured it was a basic check I am sure so would use the stock one.

Re: [Nagios-users] 1st post, so naturally the 1st question by the nagios newb re: socket error
I haven't installed anything on the webservers (yet), but I do wish to via
snmp do load, cpu, etc. or if there is a better way like a client daemon,
feel free to let me know. I am still reading/understanding what each is used
for (service.cfg, commands.cfg, etc.) but I have the following all for that
check;
services.cfg
define service {
service_description check_s1
use generic-service
hostgroup_name s1_WebServers
check_command check_s1!3!5
}
check_commands.cfg
define command {
command_namecheck_s1
command_line$USER1$/check_http -H
www.site1.com-w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
command.cfg has;
command[check_s1]=/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_http -H
www.site1.com -I $HOSTADDRESS$
As for where the local command was run, yes it was local to the groundwork
(nagios) server from the following location;
r...@groundwork:/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/libexec/check_http -H
www.site1.com -I 192.168.50.101
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 14351 bytes in 0.249 seconds
|time=0.249456s;;;0.00 size=14351B;;;0
I am not sure what the NRPE plugin is but just looking at the options, it
looks like it's run on the client as there is no spot for IP, when run local
it simply says connection refused by host for the site1.com domain.
Thanks.

Hi,
Where did you define the check_s1 command? On which host? It looks like an
NRPE config so is this on one of the web servers or on your Nagios host?
Where did you try running the command from the shell? On the Nagios host or
the web server?
Please show the command definition from Nagios for check_s1 as well.
Make sure that you've edited the correct NRPE config file, reloaded nrped
if you're not using inetd. To check that
the check works from the command line, run the check_nrpe command from
Nagios, not check_http from Nagios or the webserver.

neatly, organized and learn as I go rather than asking stupid q's along the

I have 8 webservers all host numerous sites, a few host only select. So I
have created some hostgroups, adding the servers that belong to each, and
wonderfully it works. I can select a server, see the group, click the
group, see the servers (did I mention I'm good) :)
Anyway, I want to setup 2 seperate checks one for each website, then
associate them with the groups, so for example;
ws1 (site1, site2)
ws2 (site1)
ws3 (site1, site2)
ws4 (site2)
Pretty simple. So I copied the check_http command where I saw it used and
have the following;

I am looking through where people are increasing the timeout, but the
response time is not even a second, so there must be something else I am
missing. So I am looking forward to learning more, welcome any ideas,
suggestions, or anything else I should know about using nagios under

[Nagios-users] nagios to graph ethernet traffic.. can it ?
ok, I now have (thanks to the group) my server up and currently just watching one box... many more to be added. We also run cacti for ethernet traffic, etc. and wondering can this be done as well. I am looking on the nagios exchange site and don't see anything that can take that type of data, then graph it. If it is possible, what requirements do I need (and should I have already). I still need to install nagios graph and thought I would just start with my 1st simple machine, then add some ethernet traffic in/out to him and once he is checking everything I can simply add other hosts...

[Nagios-users] Still some basic 101 items
I'm not sure I should say sorry for the basic questions as this is what the
group is for, but seeing some of the in depth questions... talk about an
inferiority complex. Well, I now can see how to debug the start (thanks
Marc) and figured my one problem. But back to a basic few things. I am
looking to have nagios monitor 40 or so servers. 10 or so webservers, a few
database, all have ssh, etc. so as I am trying to lay this out in my head,
for an example, is this the right thinking.
Each box has an unique name in a server folder, /server/servername.cfg
(that is what I have started and kind of working).
The webservers will have the following;
the define host {
host_name
address
use (I think this is my problem)
}
Now the above, the use I think is the actual hostgroup I wish it to belong
to (ex, webserver, linux-server, etc.) I am thinking I will have group
temapltes, webserver will have an http test, linux-server can have an ssh
check, load, users, etc. Now if the above is making sense, the use will have
multiple, ex,
use webserver, linux-server(I assume this is possible) That would
take care of defining the default services to check for those particular
box's.
I guess I am looking for both confirmation and suggestions on some high
level down setups. I don't want each host having 10 define_service items.
I would rather say he is a webserver, and linux box. That by nature will
check x, y and z. The problem so far is I have 4 servers, and even though I
have an address in each, the use is still the default so ALL the box's
details, users, swap usage, etc. is referenceing the localhost and not that
individual box.
That is where I am stuck, the doc's are really not to helpful, but I am
trying to understand more the seperate files. How the use works, when to
use a hostgroup, etc. I will gladly provide cfg files or if someone has
some basic things (aside from the install templates) or some help on the
above it's appreciated.

[Nagios-users] initial setups, hostgroup help requested
still getting things in order, and having a problem with adding my 1st
hostgroup. Side note, is there any kind of logging, or debugging to
see where a failure occurs? Ex. I add a new config file with the
following basic line in the main conf;
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
The file has the following;
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name webservers
alias webservers
contact_groups sysadmins
members cs0
}
The alias I just made up, the contact group sysadmin's exists and the
member cs0 is one of my webservers. In the actual server.cfg file for
that server I have a line;
hostgroups webservers
I don't know if that needs to be there as I am defining his as a member
in the hostgroups.cfg file.
Keeping things like this I start nagios and simply get;
Starting nagios:CONFIG ERROR! Start aborted. Check your Nagios
configuration.
(which is why I am looking as the nagios.log says nothing helpful.
Now if I comment out the hostgroup line in the main conf, things start,
but I would like to use hostgroups for the obvious reasons. I am sure
these and the new ones will be pretty basic as the needs are simple,
and if I can debug where it stopping would be even easier, but again,
this will be a1 or 2 sentence reply I bet!
Tnx

[Nagios-users] check_local_disk basic question
Still new to it, but so far things are good. I have added a remote host, monitoring load via snmp successfully, but my old alarm keeps tripping due to disk space. df -h shows; Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /fs here 660G 597G 64G 91% / so it seems 91% is in use, nagios is showing (nice and green); DISK OK - free space: / 27867 MB (92% inode=99%): The config for that machine (servername.cfg) shows; check_command check_local_disk!20%!10%!/ So to me that says when 20% left warn me, 10% critical alarm, right?

[Nagios-users] gui config application
Googling around there are a few out there, mostly ng1, ng2, and I am wondering if there is something nice and clean out there for nagios 3. I don't mind the cli, but sometimes a point/click is just so much easier. New to the list, so if it's been discussed, I apologize. -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
Re: [Nagios-users] 1st post to the group, basic q ... I think
ok, I am closer, but still unclear on the check_command and the define
service part (I will try to read more 2nt) but I can run in manually as
nagios from the cli;
./check_snmp_load.pl -H 1.1.1.1 -C community -w 3,3,2 -c 4,4,3 -T netsl
Load : 4.37 4.27 4.20 : 4.37 4 : CRITICAL 4.27 4 : CRITICAL
4.20 3 : CRITICAL
so that works. Now in the command.cfg I have the following;
define command{
command_name check_snmp_load_v1
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $USER7$ -T
$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ $ARG4$ -C community
}
and the server.cfg I have;
define service{
use local-service ; Name of
service$
host_name bigbird
service_description Current Load via SNMP
check_command
check_snmp_load_v1!netsl!3,3,2!4,4,3
}
I have played numerous times, that is the latest, I am trying to
understand where the $ARG variables are defined (and how). I assume
the $HOSTADDRESS is just by the server.cfg file, but not sure on
$USER7$ as well as push the other $ARG$ one's, becuase as you see from
the cli hand entering the info it works!
Can't wait till all this basic stuff is behind me!

There are good docs on how to pass arguments to a check command.
Here's my pattern to bring new service checks online without mucking
about with the running nagios process:
1) Find the plugin on the host running nagios
2) Run the plugin manually as the nagios user with the arguments you
would like. Inspect the output. Is it what you expect?
3) If it is what you expect, compose the check command and service
definition exactly as your manual run, only use macro substitution as
per the documentation
4) Save your configs and check them before loading the new objects.
nagios -v nagios.cfg will automate this check and inform you that
everything is okay before you "go live".
5) If everything's okay, reload the configuration and check the web
interface for the new service check status.

Re: [Nagios-users] 1st post to the group, basic q ... I think
Sorry for the quick update, but don't want people to waste time, or
they may change based on my update.
Well, reading the http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_commands.html#load
page more, I am trying to understand a bit more. So my commands.cfg
file now looks like this;
define command{
command_name check_snmp_load_v1
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
community -T netsl -w 3,3,2 -c 4,4,3 -C community
}
and the server.cfg file looks like this;
define service{
use local-service ; Name of
service$
host_name bigbird
service_description Current Load via SNMP
check_command
check_snmp_load_v1!netsl!3,3,2!4,4,3
}
All seems to be working now, I need to understand the alarm levels a
bit (that's easy reading) as well as figure if I even need the !netsl,
etc. on the check_command line.
But thanks for the push's in the right direction

[Nagios-users] 1st post to the group, basic q ... I think
so far the install, etc. went easy there are some good doc's there.
I am still understanding the groups, etc. but so far I have the server
and 2 remote hosts setup. The load check isn't really to good, so I
downloaded the perl one using snmp and from the command line works
great, see this example;
[r...@ws6 libexec]# perl ./check_snmp_load.pl -H ipadd -C community -w
3,3,2 -c 4,4,3 -T netsl
Load : 5.55 5.04 4.87 : 5.55 4 : CRITICAL 5.04 4 : CRITICAL 4.87 3
: CRITICAL
I added the following to the commands.cfg file;
define command{
command_name check_snmp_load_v1
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $USER7$ -T
$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ $ARG4$
}
on the target machine I put;
define service{
use local-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name servername
service_description Current Load via SNMP
check_command
check_local_load!5.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0
}
I restarted nagios, saw the new line in the details, but the values are
showing as;
OK - load average: 0.10, 0.06, 0.01
I did have a shell opened testing the local script at the same time and
the load is still around 5.
I will have other questions, etc. as I read/play more, but just wanted
to get this part done, then look at thresholds, etc. but if anyone is
using this script and notice something obvious, please feel free to let
me know.
Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] 1st post to the group, basic q ... I think
ah, after all the install stuff to fall with something like that was just
bad! Well your right, but I am still having a problem. I read alot on
hostgroups, etc. and starting writing out the map of what and how so to then
go back to this, man, I am ready for bed! But here is the scoop / problem.
The command file is untouched. There is nothing in the services file as I
am only testing on one host, so it's in that servername.cfg file. Once
things work I can move it, but that box now has the following;
define command{
command_name check_snmp_load_v1
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $USER7$ -T
$ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $$
}
define host{
use linux-server; Name of host template to
use
; This host definition will
inherit all variables that are defined
; in (or inherited by) the
linux-server host template definition.
host_name db1
alias db1
address public ip here
}
define service{
use local-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name bigbird
service_description Current Load via SNMP
check_command check_snmp_load_v1
}
I tried a few things after the _v1 but nagios kept failing on restart, so I
think I just need to figure out howto push the variables (such as hostIP ,
community name) to the check_command, right? Since changing the service to
use the new command, nagios is now red with the following error; Return code
of 255 is out of bounds
I'm getting closer, as I said some good reading 2nt, but not for this, so
hopefully someone has a quick answer and I promise to have more intelligent
questions after ;)
