[Nagios-users-br] Plugin EventLog
Olá pessoal, bom dia! Galera, seguinte, instalei recentemente um plugin para checar Event Viewer do Windows no nagios ( http://www.steveshipway.org/software/f_nagios.html). Esse plugin funciona a base de check passivo e esta funcionando perfeitamente, fiz uma regra para me avisar quando chegar algum evento em Critical ou Warning para me avisar e também funcionou perfeitamente. Meu problema é que a mensagem fica no nagios, mesmo depois de o problema ter sido resolvido no windows. Alguém que usa este plugin sabe como eu voltar o status deste serviço para ok?

Re: [Nagios-users-br] Centreon
Olá Bruno, isto esta parecendo que é algum problema no NDOUtils, pois o centreon le os dados a partir do banco e como nao aparece nada na lista, logo podemos concluir que nao a nada no banco. A partir do shell, de um restart no nagios e verifique o arquivo de log com o comando abaixo: tail /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log caso aparecer alguma mensagem do tipo [119122] ndomod: Error writing to data sink! Some output may get lost... verifique suas configurações do NDO Um abraço Cleiton Souza On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 08:38, Bruno Bettero bbett...@gmail.com wrote: Reiniciei o nagios pelo centreon...ele diz que tem 2 hosts mais nao tem nada ainda no centreon!

Re: [Nagios-users] Web server behind firewall,
Hi i wan to monitor a webserver, its behind the IPS. when i try to monitor using nagios check_http, nagios alerts me host down. Do I understand right that the check_http works without problems (prints OK) but nagios claims that the host is down? You need to change the check_host command for this host to something that gives you a clear knowledge about the host. Or you do not monitor the host itself and change the check_host command to some dummy. can any one help. this is my client Server, and i want to check apache/jboss and need to restart if service is down. ping is disabled on it. You need any way to connect to the server.

We have a Microsoft ISA proxy server for accessing the wider internet (is that the same thing as an IPS?). In order to get through that, I use a tool called ntlmaps which handles the connection and authentication. I installed it from the Ubuntu repositories so there's probably a prebuilt package for whichever distro you're using. Unfortunately there's no man page for it, but documentation and instructions can be readily found on Google. The config file which you'll need to edit to suit your requirements is (on Ubuntu anyway) /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg . If you choose to use ntlmaps, I'd advise you to use an account name/password without any password expiry or you'll forever be messing around resetting it every time the password expires. Last time I used ntlmaps with Nagios I found it used a lot of system resource and slowed the Nagios system down a bit - it was on an underspecced server though. YMMV. I now only use ntlmaps on the odd occasion to install new packages or update existing ones. hth, Jim -- ___ 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] Strange thing about boot
Le 09/03/2009 à 12:24:36-0400, Allan Clark a écrit Is there something in your boot process, such as seeding a random-number-seed or creating an environment variable that happens after nrpe is started? No, or if they exist I don't known where. I assume you are starting nrpe from a /etc/init.d/nrpe script. Almost (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrpe2 restart), it's bsd starting script... I would recommend that when you start nrpe, edit the startup script to store the environment to a file, and get an example status from the raid card. When you say «environment» you might «env» ? The two results (the reboot of the server, and the later restart of nrpe that causes it to work), the two dumps of environment and raid status might give you an idea of what's changing between the two. OK. I'm going to try that. Also, if you check your changes with a diff -w rather than a differing checksum, you should still get the same if it's different, show a result code but piping the diff to a temp file might help you see what's different. The obvious drawback is that you need to keep a text copy of the last result until you get this part working. I can understand if you don't want to keep a text dump around for the long-term -- for security and spamming-my-filesystem reasons -- but for testing, it might help. Thanks for you help.

If you're going to try one, you're probably best off with NagMin, but realistically, unless you're going to make changes in the web frontend, then crawl your server for what's changed and diff it, you aren't likely to learn it.

[Nagios-users] Best options for monitoring Windows servers
I'm a UNIX and network guy, but since Nagios is my task, I also have to add the Windows servers to Nagios. The network tests are fine, but I'm curious which is the best solution for monitoring local items on a Windows server (2000, 2003, and 2008). Here's what I think the options are: Use check_nt with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Net Use check_nrpe with NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NRPE_NT Use check_ncnet with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Ne Use NSCA-Daemon with NC_Net Note: I'm interested in screwing with WMI... NSClient appears to be old, but stable and well known. However I see it has good support for NT4 and 2000 and 2003 R1, but not 2003 R2 and I don't see anything about 2008 Server. NC_Net looks current and well developed. NSClient++ seems to have NSClient compatibility, but is more current and supports NT4 thru 2008. It looks like I already have check_nt as part of a default 3.x installation. NRPE_NT also seems to have been around for a bit and stable. NSClient++ seems to have its own, native NRPE support. What are your opinions of the best combination to A) get the best overall support and B) have the least impact/installation on a Windows server? I want something current and currently developed with 2008 support, but I also want stability and the least work possible. Presently I'm using NRPE for my local linux/UNIX servers, so I'm inclined to give NRPE a try, but I'd also like to avoid loading plugins on the Windows client if I can. I'm leaning towards NSClient++ with check_nt, but I'm not sure this is the best solutions. Thoughts, opinions, and ideas are requested... -- A.

Re: [Nagios-users] Lilac, a Nagios 3.x Configuration Tool, has released 1.0 Release Candidate 1.
Our implementation is pretty much right out of the Nagios documentation.

Andrew Davis wrote:

As far as I know, hostgroups are all at the same level, but hosts can be
members of more than one hostgroup. I set my host definitions up like this:
define host {
use prod_windows_server
host_name servername
alias serveralias
address w.x.y.z
hostgroups +FTP Servers,Web Servers
}
My prod_windows_server host template sets a hostgroup of
windows_servers. In the host definition here, the + adds the additional
host groups to the host. Without the +, the host definition's hostgroup
setting would replace windows_servers.
Then, in my services.cfg, I assign services to hostgroups:
define service {
use standard_service
nameWeb_Service
hostgroup_name Web Servers
service_description Service: Web
check_command check_nt_service!W3SVC
}
You don't have to assign services to a hostgroup, but it's convenient
for me to do so.

They are used to monitor services and hosts on the internal subnet I want to keep it so the local sites can see their own nagios servers web interface. Is there anyway I can combine the output of all the nagios servers to my office on my nagios server. I have a separate screen that displays the Service Detail web page and I look at the top of it. Host and service status totals if everything is green I know there is no problems throughout the whole system.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Service Check Delay
Hello,
I have Nagios monitoring about 200 services on our network, this includes
various services, processes and network devices. With this, we also have
NSClient++ monitoring our Windows boxes.
Currently, when a service is reported DOWN, Nagios schedules the next service
check to be 10minutes after.
Is there a way to make this less? I am looking for something close to 2minutes.
Here is an example of my config..
The Service generic template is:
define service{
namegeneric-service
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
failure_prediction_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 2
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups admins
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
register0
}
The service config:
define service{
use generic-service
contact_groups custom_notifygrp_1
host_name van-report
service_description Optimo Report Service
check_command van-report_optimo
}
The check command: (NSClient++ running on the host being checked)
define command{
command_namevan-report_optimo
command_line$USER1$/check_nt -H THEHOST -s PASSWD -p PORT -v
SERVICESTATE -l OptimoReportService
}
Based on the config above, shouldn't Nagios schedule the next service check
within 2 minutes?
What controls this option?
Thanks.

[Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows hosts...
I'm a UNIX and network guy, but since Nagios is my task, I also have to add the Windows servers to Nagios. The network tests are fine, but I'm curious which is the best solution for monitoring local items on a Windows server (2000, 2003, and 2008). Here's what I think the options are: Use check_nt with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Net Use check_nrpe with NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NRPE_NT Use check_ncnet with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Ne Use NSCA-Daemon with NC_Net Note: I'm interested in screwing with WMI... NSClient appears to be old, but stable and well known. However I see it has good support for NT4 and 2000 and 2003 R1, but not 2003 R2 and I don't see anything about 2008 Server. NC_Net looks current and well developed. NSClient++ seems to have NSClient compatibility, but is more current and supports NT4 thru 2008. It looks like I already have check_nt as part of a default 3.x installation. NRPE_NT also seems to have been around for a bit and stable. NSClient++ seems to have its own, native NRPE support. What are your opinions of the best combination to A) get the best overall support and B) have the least impact/installation on a Windows server? I want something current and currently developed with 2008 support, but I also want stability and the least work possible. Presently I'm using NRPE for my local linux/UNIX servers, so I'm inclined to give NRPE a try, but I'd also like to avoid loading plugins on the Windows client if I can. I'm leaning towards NSClient++ with check_nt, but I'm not sure this is the best solutions. Thoughts, opinions, and ideas are requested... -- A.

[Nagios-users] dell powervault in nagios

Re: [Nagios-users] free Page table entries
To see all available performance monitors, simply open the Performance Monitor application (perfmon.exe) and click on the + icon. In this case, the performance monitor you'd want is under Memory and is called Free System Page Table Entries. It is one of the more commonly monitored counters, so you can probably google for it. If you include NSClient++ in your search, you'll get a lot of Nagios-specific information about it. My TNTMonitoring agent also monitors it, BTW. You could download it and simply take a look at the configuration file to see how to call it (btw, the plugin I'm using to connect to NSClient++ is another GPL project of mine - basically just a port to Windows of the standard NSClient++ plugin).

Hi Patrick, I have submitted a native iPhone Nagios App to the iPhone App Store. They say it takes between 30 and 60 days to get on the store.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows hosts...
There are a Lot of options Naturally I prefer NC_NEt since I made it but it is not Ideal for all situations, It uses the Dot Net Framework. and Allows easy access to WMI, Event Logs, and Custom scripts and executables. (use check_nc_net to access the help on the individual commads in nc_net) I would recomend you test all the agents. and see what one you like the best, each on had advantages and disadvantages. Then decide what you need to fetch from the windows servers and if you need to Push or Pull the data from that server. if you need to Push from Windows to Nagios, then use NSCA or NSCA through NC_NEt. If you need/want to pull from Nagios initiating the commands Start with CHeck_nt and try any of the Windows clients. (if availible try them all check_nt syntex is the same for each.) once installed you will see what additional commands are availible either through the documentaiton or the help IF windows client you like the best is missing a particular command or means of retrieving the data you want then use NRPE to augment it. this will allow for custom scripts and executables to retrive data or perform work. For most active checks check_nrpe and check_nt can be used. since NC_NEt has a lot of additional commands built into it it has its own version of check_nt called check_nc_net check_nc_net contians the NC_NEt command documention through the --help=COMMANDNAME Argument After testing them, Post back some of your experience it may help others choose what one is best for them.

Yes, and notify-by-email specified as the event_handler.
And the
event_handler notify_by_email is used for notifications _and_ the
event_handler?
notify_by_email isn't an eventhandler but you've appropriated it as
one above. Event handlers are used to perform special actions like
trying to restart a service before a notification is needed. The
notification command that gets run is determined from the contact{}
definition, and is not directly associated with a service. The contact
almost certainly has notify_by_email specified as their
service_notification_command (it's real purpose).
With 2.x i only got a notification when the service isnt available
for 5
minutes. With 3.x the event_handler is executed every minute the
service
isnt available.
Yup. Event handlers are run for every retry_check_interval (1 minute
in your case). That's one reason they're not meant to be used for
notifications.
So will it help if i disable the event_handler_enabled?
Absolutely. Someone seems to have been changed this in your config
during the upgrade. None of this behavior has changed between (many)
versions.

Re: [Nagios-users] Mobile phone/non-WAP interface
Yes, my iPhone Nagios App parses the output of status.cgi. For the iPhone it's a particularly tricky problem due to the small amount of memory available to applications. It's a pretty sophisticated little multi-threaded application that does alot of incremental concurrent loading and various memory management tricks to keep the footprint as small as possible and keep the user interface snappy even when on an Edge iPhone.
