Or any way is there solve the problem. Please help me out. Any help would be highly appreciated. /dev/eth doesn't sound like a modem device. You need to have an analog modem attached to your computer for sms_client to use to connect to the POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) network. A DSL modem != analog modem. As you can see above, it's trying to dial a phone number, not connect to an IP address. A DSL modem is not sufficient and doesn't provide connectivity to the POTS network. As far as alternatives if you can't connect an analog modem to the computer you might see if your provider has a mail-sms gateway.

Subject: [Nagios-users] how to customize which macros get sent with
service event handlers?
According to
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/eventhandlers.html:
In most cases, event handler commands will be shell or perl scripts.
At
a minimum, the scripts should take the following macros as arguments:
Service event handler macros: $SERVICESTATE$, $SERVICESTATETYPE$,
$SERVICEATTEMPT$
I have created a simple external command triggerend by a service event
handler that just echoes $@ to a temp file and can verify that it does
provide these three macros to the external command. But I want/need
to
provide other macros (such as $HOSTNAME$) to my external command. I'm
am
not sure how this is done - am not finding anything in the docs which
mentions how to do this. Is there some config option where which
macros
are sent by an event handler can be defined?
Add it to your command definition for your event handler. Using the
example service event handler on the documentation page referenced above
it becomes --
define command{
command_namerestart-httpd
command_line
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/restart-httpd $SERVICESTATE$
$SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ $HOSTNAME$
}
Your event handler script needs to grab that extra command line argument
to do something useful with it of course. How that's done varies widely
based on the scripting language used. For /bin/sh, the hostname would be
stored in the $4 variable.

The DNS server was experimenting lags, slowing down Nagios. There you go. --- Alexandre Racine - Gardien Virtuel - Sécurité Informatique www.gardienvirtuel.com Montréal, Québec, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-03-07 06:32:48 I had a similar problem and thought I had fixed it. My situation is that I have 922 services to check (at the moment, I need to ramp up to over 2,500 but the latency problem is a show-stopper at the moment). I'm using a very low-spec Dell running Solaris 10 with Nagios 2.0to do it. Using default settings, I was initially getting average check latencies of the order of 5-6 seconds which was fine, but after a day or so of no Nagios restarts, that figure would rocket to 100 seconds and stay there, not ever re-checking the majority of the services, with re- scheduled check times staying in the past, until I did a nagios reload. There was one directive which solved the stale re-check times:- check_for_orphaned_services=1 Also, I reduced a couple of timeout values so that Nagios stopped wasting time on checks which were bound to fail:- service_check_timeout=30 host_check_timeout=30 event_handler_timeout=30 notification_timeout=30 Given that the load on the machine doesn't appear to go over 0.50, I've allowed infinite concurrent services checks now, increased from 400, but that appears to be making no difference at all. And I left the reaper frequency at 10 seconds. So now the checks were being re-scheduled for times in the future, and the latencies stopped running away quite so dramatically. This is the state of things at the moment:- Active Service Checks: Time Frame Checks Completed = 1 minute: 107 (11.6%) = 5 minutes: 593 (64.3%) = 15 minutes: 922 (100.0%) = 1 hour: 922 (100.0%) Since program start: 922 (100.0%) Metric Min.

I would have expected nagios to report a different kind of error if the plugin crashed (i.e. check of service foo on host bar did not exit properly).

What could be wrong? Nagios is first-and-foremost a service monitor. With few exceptions*, host checks are never executed unless a service on that host returns a non-OK state. You need to have at least one service defined per host if you want it to be checked regularly. That service could be just another ping check. As to why some show OK and others show PENDING, I would speculate that they are listed as the parent for a device that has failed in the past. Nagios will check the host status of parents to determine if a child is down or unreachable due to higher level outages. * Starting with Nagios 2.0 you _can_ have regularly scheduled host checks but they affect performance and are discouraged. The parent checks are another case where a host check may be executed without a failure of a service on the device. -- Marc --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Subject: [Nagios-users] event_handlers macro contactemail
Hi!
I am in real need for having access to the $CONTACTx$ macros in my
eventhandlers. I am running Nagios V2.
Would I get it to work if I did the following?
define command {
command_name send_snmptrap_host
command_line /usr/bin/perl
$USER1$/eventhandlers/send_nagiostrap $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}
define host {
name NOC-MAIN
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event handler is
enabled
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION
notifications_enabled 0
event_handler
send_snmptrap_host!$CONTACTEMAIL$!$CONTACTPAGER$
contact_groups NOC
}
No, the $CONTACT*$ macros are not available to event handlers. See the
chart at --
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html
Any other suggestion?
Why not make a contact whose notification command runs
send_nagiostrap_host and associate them with that host? You could also
build in logic into send_nagiostrap_host to gather that information from
some other source or the nagios config files themselves if the contact
route isn't acceptable to you.
would it work if I put the event_handler keyword in the host
definition for the host instead of in a template?
No, they're just not available to the event_handler subsystem at all.

I have commented out the following in minimal.cfg

This is not going to cause any problems later down the track is it?
Probably not. The problem was that you had 2 check_local_disk command
definitions and the same for check-host-alive. You can't have two
command definitions with the same command_name (nagios wouldn't be able
to tell them apart). If the command definitions are identical then it's
no big deal to comment one of the duplicates out. If they're different,
and you intend to use both versions then you'll need to change the
command_name's so that they're unique.

I have read the documentation, and I am using 2.0. I really wish this
were the case by default cause I am getting notified that all the
services are down when the host cannot be pinging. Please check an
example of a host in my hosts.cfg section:
define host {
host_name S2NA1ROCK
alias S2NA1ROCK
address 192.168.1.10
parents ROCK-Firewall
hostgroups Servers
max_check_attempts 10
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_period24x7
obsess_over_host1
check_freshness 0
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
contact_groups admins,Server-Administrator
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,r
notifications_enabled 1
register1
}
Do I have something misconfigured that is still allowing all
subsequest
services to alert?
Yes, you're missing a check_command for this host. That is required for
the behavior you want and with your config above the host itself is
never checked. If you're using the sample config files as a base, there
is a command definition named check-host-alive that you can use.
check_command check-host-alive
I would also set max_check_attempts to 1 or 2. You don't need more than
that to determine if the host is down and you want host checks to finish
as quickly as possible. _All_ other activity stops while hosts are being
checked.

Im trying to grep some version information from a header file on a remote host. Both of the following command lines generate the desired information when called directly from the shell. But only the second line works when scheduled by Nagios. The second one produces the error No output. Whats wrong here ? 1.) command_line$USER1$/check_by_ssh -i /export/home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -l user -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C 'if [ -e /usr/local/ACE/VERSION ]; then echo `head -1 /usr/local/ACE/VERSION`; else echo No ACE found; fi' 2.) command_line$USER1$/check_by_ssh -i /export/home/nagios/.ssh/id_rsa -l user -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C 'head -1 /usr/local/ACE/VERSION' While not specifically addressing your question, you're using the check_by_ssh plugin in an unintended manner. It's designed to execute Nagios plugins on remote hosts and simply acts as a proxy for the plugin return code and output. As such, the command you are running must comply with the plugin output standards in order to work correctly with check_by_ssh and Nagios -- http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#PLUGOUTPUT You'll need to pay special attention to exiting with the correct exit code and only 1 line of output (you've got the latter covered). That might change your approach some and negate the need to troubleshoot further. I suspect that you might be encountering a permissions problem related to /usr/local/ACE/VERSION or an environment issue where 'head' isn't in the default path. Try specifying the full path to head. -- Marc --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Is there any possibility to have different users on Nagios ? User x has access to see everything in web. User z has access only to do reporting in web. This level of granularity is not possible. If a user can see a host or service, they can perform all administrative functions related to that host or service. ... I am sorry, but I do not fully agree. As far as I understand, a user can perform tasks on hosts and services that he is contact for, not hosts and services he can see. So, you could, for example, create a read only user using the following : - user reader is not contact for anything. In the cgi.cfg : - authorized_for_all_services=reader - authorized_for_all_hosts=reader With that, you would have an user who can see everything, but can't issue any command. But I might be wrong, if it is the case, please tell me :) I read the OP as a request to limit the view to reporting only but responded in a much broader context when I shouldn't have. Your example is right on and to be honest, I never think about the authorized_for_* settings in cgi.cfg. I haven't looked at or touched them in years myself. It's refreshing to be reminded of functionality I've forgotten about. I expect that this will be implemented better in the 3.0 front-end.

It keeps outputting on the screen Out of Memory errors which causes loss of access to the server. I can ping the box but I cannot SSH or web into it to view any information. This has been happening increasingly more lately. Now it is about every 2-3 days that this is occurring. We have been adding more and more devices to the servers and this problem has been increasing as this occurs. This is how I have it set up. I have a Main Nagios server that is running the latest 2.0 (stable) Nagios release. It is monitoring about 6800 devices but it is not actively checking the devices. Its main role is to provide a web interface and receive passive polls from three other servers which do the polling. The main server also does email notifications when a device goes down. The server sends about 30-40 emails a day. I am using NSCA 2.5 between the server and the client Nagios servers. I am only monitoring one service for each device which is either TCP or ping depending on the device. Mostly all devices are monitored with TCP (roughly 6000). The rest are monitored with ping. The individual servers are pretty evenly spread with the number of devices. They are about 2000-2500 each. Can someone please help me in resolving this problem? Thanks Have you determined what process is using the memory? One of the first steps you should take is to set appropriate ulimits for memory utilization for that user so that it doesn't bring down the server. I would configure nagios to monitor memory on that server then use top or ps to identify the process(es) using the allocated memory when memory utilization is high. That will provide better direction for troubleshooting rather than simply that the machine is crashing due to memory exhaustion. The nagios deamon itself isn't going to be using a lot of RAM (10M on my box with 3400 passive services). My somewhat unfounded guess is that perhaps nagios isn't reaping the results from NSCA frequently enough so you're having a backlog of ncsa processes. Each process uses just a little memory but if you have thousands of them then it adds up. I've personally experienced this on a machine that was experiencing disk problems. If this is the case, beyond a hardware problem or capacity issue, I'd verify that your command_check_interval is set to -1 to make sure that nagios is checking the external command file as quickly as it can. -- Marc --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Thanks, Marc. That's perfect and addresses my initial concern exactly
100%.
Is there any work in progress on this that I can help out with?
I don't know. You'd probably have better luck asking on nagios-devel. I
haven't seen much talk about it there yet though.

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nagios-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philip Hallstrom Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 3:54 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] multiple nagios monitoring that have to agree? I've read through the docs and distributed, failover, and redundant monitoring, but those didn't seem to apply. I'm wondering if two nagios instances can be set up to monitor the same hosts/services and have to agree with each other before sending a notification? That's not a standard configuration and you'd probably run into timing issues. If NagiosA has checked the service and finds it down, NagiosB may not have checked the service yet and may still consider it up. What do you do then (nothing?)? How can you tell the difference (Last Check time?)? Nagios isn't built for that kind of coordination. For an off-the-cuff suggestion, if you used multiple retries and didn't specifically require that both servers see the state as HARD you could embed that logic in your notification script. - NagiosA always sends notifications. - ServiceX on HostY reaches hard state. - NagiosA initiates notification for ServiceX on HostY - Notification script searches status.log on NagiosB or performs HTTP screen scrape on NagiosB to determine state of ServiceX on HostY as seen from there. - If NagiosB shows CRITICAL, send notification - If only one shows critical do nothing(?) - repeat at regular intervals in case NagiosB was slow to pick up the state (or use the vice-versa logic to also send notifications from NagiosB) There are probably pitfalls but I think that's how I would approach it at first. -- Marc --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Reread the section(s) on sending passive events to another nagios server. I'm wondering if two nagios instances can be set up to monitor the same hosts/services and have to agree with each other before sending a notification? One way to do this is to set up the following: On nagios 1 service A1 (no notifications) On nagios 1 service A2 (passive update from server 2, not polled from server 1, no notifications) On nagios 2 service A2 (no notifications) On nagios 2 service A1 (passive update from server 1, not polled from server 2, no notifications) On both nagios 1 and 2 create service B that does notify (and poll) that uses check_cluster to require that both be in error condition to generate an error notification. I had considered this as a suggestion as well but felt it was messy due to the need to duplicate all the host and service definitions on both machines but with different names plus a third definition for each for the cluster check. Templates should make it easy mandate which definition was active/passive on each machine but the duplication just wouldn't scale well IMHO. -- Marc --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[chop] For an off-the-cuff suggestion, if you used multiple retries and didn't specifically require that both servers see the state as HARD you could embed that logic in your notification script. - NagiosA always sends notifications. If you have a redunant setup, only one server A or B would have to send notifications for the service B. I presume that you're referring to this from your previous e-mail -- On both nagios 1 and 2 create service B that does notify (and poll) that uses check_cluster to require that both be in error condition to generate an error notification. How would you prevent duplicate notifications? Nagios 1 wouldn't know that Nagios 2 had already sent a notification and vice-versa unless you kept track of that externally. - ServiceX on HostY reaches hard state. - NagiosA initiates notification for ServiceX on HostY - Notification script searches status.log on NagiosB or performs HTTP screen scrape on NagiosB to determine state of ServiceX on HostY as seen from there. - If NagiosB shows CRITICAL, send notification - If only one shows critical do nothing(?) - repeat at regular intervals in case NagiosB was slow to pick up the state (or use the vice-versa logic to also send notifications from NagiosB) Neat idea, however you would need to handle the case where nagios B isn't properly updating the service (and therfore isn't providing valid data). Looking at Last Update should cover that scenario. There are probably pitfalls but I think that's how I would approach it at first. Yeah. It's a bit dicey regardless of how you slice it. Agreed.

RE: [Nagios-users] Not able ot view hosts/services in the Trends.cgi link
I'm running out of ideas myself and your problem seems to be unique. Try running the trends.cgi from the command line as the nagios user -- su - nagios bash cd /path/to/nagios/sbin export REQUEST_METHOD=GET export QUERY_STRING=input=gethost ./trends.cgi You should see a lot of HTML but in that should be a listing of your hosts.

Service definition check_command verify_http!www.example.foo
define command{
command_nameverify_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -I $HOSTADDRESS$

check_http_url!www.example.foo!/coolpage.html!searchword
$ARG1$
define command{

Hi, I'm missing something here. In the extinfo.cgi page, all my active service checks on my central server have a link to submit passive service checks, which actually allow me to change the state of service checks and I assume the external command for this is PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT, true? Why is Yes. there no corresponding active check command? Also, if I set the service to active_checks_enabled=1 and passive_checks_enabled=0, I don't have the ability to submit this result. So is an active service check also always a passive? Active checks and passive checks are two different and independent ways of providing status information to nagios. An active check is one in which the host or service check_command is run by nagios itself. You can force an active check to happen by re-scheduling the next check of the service. A passive check is one in which the host or service state is determined by another program (submitting a passive result via the GUI, NSCA, a cron job or other external process). In this case, nagios isn't actively determining the state of the service itself but is simply taking the results of a PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT directive in the external command file at face value. Passive checks are most often utilized for a distributed monitoring configuration but can have other uses like SNMP trap handling, etc. -- Marc --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

That will convert old style Netsaint object files to the Nagios-1.0 template format.

If I send the command via the bash of the server I get an

Your user macro names are wrong. They should be $USER5$ and $USER6$.

Your client machines need to perform the check themselves, then send the results to your central nagios machine via send_nsca. A properly configured NSCA daemon on your central machine will write those results to the nagios external command pipe. As far as your central nagios service check commands, if these will be entirely passive checks and you are going to be using freshness checking then it needs to be some command that will return some appropriate output should the results go stale.

I'm very interesting in this, too. Is there any information as to what each of the performance stats really mean? I'll preface by saying I have not gotten around to setting up any external performance monitoring... Here are some more specific questions to get things started: The 4 tables on the left side of the Performance Info page have 2 columns -- Time Frame and Checks Completed. 1) Does the Time Frame start from when a check is scheduled or from what it actually starts? From when you loaded the page. They show the number of checks that have completed in the last 1, 5, 15 and 60 minutes. 2) If nagios has been running 24 hours and I still have less than 100% checks completed for the since program start row, what does this mean? Do I have checks that are never ruturning (doesn't seem possible given the built-in timeouts). Are there checks that are getting used that are getting factored in? It means that you have some percentage of checks that aren't being executed. If these are service checks this could be a configuration issue. Sort your Service Detail by Last Check and see if you have ones that haven't been updated. Metrics: 3) Does check latency mean how long after a check is scheduled that nagios gets the result? Or after it has completed? Or after the check has started? (For reference: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html ) It's the time between when Nagios originally scheduled it to run and when it actually did run. If you see latencies 10 seconds or so it probably means that you're not allowing nagios to run enough concurrent checks. 4) Cleary, we want lower execution times and low latencys -- what are people who are satisfied with the performance of their setup seeing for these numbers? I'm running on some really old hardware for most of my collectors that I am in the process of replacing so the only box I'm really satisfied with is performing 498 checks with an average Execution time of 3.3 seconds and latency of 0.161 sec. The others are pretty high right now but complete ~1500 checks each in my scheduled 5 minutes so I haven't been too concerned about latency or execution time. General: 5) Is there any way built in to nagios to get performance data on each check for ALL hosts? This is in the spirit of checking the check to see if it is performing reasonably well as well as serving as a basis to compare the performance of different checks against one another (o r comparing the difference between a compiled plugin's performance verus a non-compiled one). Not currently that I am aware of.

This needs to be done as I have 4 years of historical data that I'd like to keep. I'm sure it can be done manually but it could take a while. Does anyone know of a easier way to do this? There's really no need from my experience. status.sav and retention.dat just contain current status information and they'll be re-populated on the first check of each service based on your current configs and check results. status.sav is used by the CGI's to display current status and retention.dat is used by nagios to reload current state on restart. All historical information is in nagios/netsaint.log and the archives. The only thing that I can think of that might be interesting to port over from retention.dat might be acknowledgement status. I handled that by looking at the comments file for ACKNOWLEDGMENT and greping out the appropriate parts of the line to submit an acknowledgement external command. -- Marc --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Does the status.sav file not: Store host and service state information before it shuts down. The state information in this file is then read immediately prior the starting to monitor the network when NetSaint is restarted? I only know this because, when I moved this file and restarted netsaint, all the hosts then went into pending state and then Ping OK for 4 mins etc. Status.sav must by your state_retention_file. It is only used on restart to load the last known state of hosts/services before shutdown. Removing the file forces nagios to re-determine the state of the hosts and services from the next check which it would normally do anyway. If you do nothing with this file when upgrading, host and service states will be UNDETERMINED during the interval between shutting down the old nagios and starting up your new. I was able to accomplish that change in under 3 minutes with a little pre-planning. You could run them in tandem for a period of time equal to your log_rotation and not even have that or even merge the current log files. The exact same thing happened when I moved retention.dat. I can only presume that this is where the historical data is kept. I need to convert the files so I can prove SLA's have been meet in the past fwe years. Any idea's ? Why assume when you can verify? Perform this test again and actually look at the historical data. It'll be there. Look at the contents of status.sav even.

Hi,
I have the problem, that a special check_http-command is not
sending output to the nagios process.
In the GUI I get OK, but Info (No output!)
If I send the command via the bash of the server I get an
output of the plugin.
I use check_http (nagios-plugins 1.4.1) 1.81
with Nagios 2.0b4 on a SuSE something.
The command definition is:
define command {

command_line$USER1$/check_http -H status.$HOSTADDRESS$

$USERS5$:$USERS6$
}
Your user macro names are wrong. They should be $USER5$ and $USER6$.

I'd like to give my Nagios server a virtual IP address, so that if we want to migrate the monitoring service to another machine in the future, it'll be easy (just setup the new machine and give it the same virtual IP). While nrpe can be configured to only listen on certain interfaces, I can't find any way to make Nagios send only on certain interfaces. Right now, it uses the primary interface only. So, is it possible to tell Nagios only to use a particular interface? Or is this at least coming in a future release? As with almost every application, this is controlled by the routing tables of your Operating System. Unless you specify a more specific route out a different interface for your destinations, the OS will always route traffic out your default gateway interface, sourced from that interface. This question has come up before and though I am not authoritative on plugin development (which you are really talking about), it is almost certain that the plugins will continue to rely on the OS for proper routing. If you're restricting access on remote hosts by IP, (as we do), you can static NAT your nagios host IP at a firewall/other device or move the IP when you change hosts. -- Marc --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Subject: [Nagios-users] About object definitions.
Another question about definitions, did I miss something in the
documentation?
I'd like to define a host object:
define host{
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 1
check_period24x7
contact_groups testadmins
notification_interval 1
notification_period anytime
notification_optionsd,u,r,f
nameunix_hosts
}
and then be able to use it:
define host {
host_name myhost
alias big box
address 10.0.0.0
use unix_hosts
}
but it complains about the original definition being blank/null.
I know the object definition works right if I do this:
define host{
host_name thatbox
alias Bob's Linux Machine
address 10.1.0.0
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 1
check_period24x7
contact_groups testadmins
notification_interval 1
notification_period anytime
notification_optionsd,u,r,f
nameunix_hosts
}
and then use 'unix_hosts after that.
Simplified, can I define unix_hosts without assigning a machine name
to
it?
Yep. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/templaterecursion.html. Add
'register 0' to your template object.
register [0/1]
The third variable is register. This variable is used to indicate
whether or not the object definition should be registered with Nagios.
By default, all object definitions are registered. If you are using a
partial object definition as a template, you would want to prevent it
from being registered (an example of this is provided later). Values are
as follows: 0 = do NOT register object definition, 1 = register object
definition (this is the default). This variable is NOT inherited; every
(partial) object definition used as a template must explicitly set the
register directive to be 0. This prevents the need to override an
inherited register directive with a value of 1 for every object that
should be registered.

Subject: [Nagios-users] bug with a cyrillic text in host alias
Hi there!
I'm trying to make nagios show cyrillic text (in HOSTALIAS). After
some simple changes, it becomes to show correct symbols in
statusmap.cgi In all over CGIs cyrillic symbols are shown perfectly.
But, I can't undestand, why does Nagios send empty (space) symbols
instead of cyrillic text in Notification e-mails. For example, I have
a host named Host1 and some alias for it in cyrillic (KOI8). Locale of
nagios user is KOI8, web-interface show cyr tex correctly too, I can
send e-mail with cyr symbols from nagios user shell. But the e-mail,
thatis generated by nagios process still bad.
Can anyone show me the place in C++ that is responsible for genetating
e-mails with notifications?
For a service notification: Line 666 of notifications.c
/* run the command */
my_system(processed_command,notification_timeout,early_timeout,exectim
e,NULL,0);
The subroutine begins on line 575 --
/* notify a specific contact about a service problem or recovery */
int notify_contact_of_service(contact *cntct, service *svc, int type,
char *ack_author, char *ack_data, int escalated){
Note that nagios has no idea what the command actually does. It just
runs the command specified by the user's service_notification_commands.
That may result in an e-mail, a page or anything else.

RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios Host Check
You'll have to define a service check that will change state when there is a problem.

RE: [Nagios-users] How to reduce a very high latency number
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nagios-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Trask Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 1:09 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] How to reduce a very high latency number I am still butting up against very high latency issues with my Nagios setup. I feel like I must be missing something obvious because it doesn't seem like I have so many services that the servers cannot keep up. As can be seen from the data below, the server with the most service checks has the highest latency (usually in the neighborhood of 700 seconds! -- this is pre-production). Is my problem really this simple? I have a feeling that is isn't just the number of checks, but I cannot figure out why my latency values are so terrible. Overview of my setup: There are 4 servers. 3 distributed servers (nag1, nag2, nag3) at 3 distinct geological locations send all their check information via NSCA to a 4th, central server (nag4). The connections between all of these servers are very high-bandwidth and are no where near saturated. The only unclear spot to me is the effect that our hardware VPN/tunnels might have, however the worst performing server (nag2) is on the same LAN as the central server (nag4). Nagios v2.2, latest plugins and NRPE/NSCA as of today. I am running embedded perl with perlcache enabled.
