Bom dia a todos,
Estou utilizando o Nagios vers. 2.6 e preciso utilizar o serviço de
mensagem Jabber como uma das formas de alerta.
Estou utilizando como serviço de mensageiro o script em PERL
notify_via_jabber.pl adquirido em
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/notifications/notify_via_jabber
O script funciona manualmente contudo ao colocar para que o script seja
executado pelo Nagios o mesmo não envia os alertas via Jabber.
Durante a analise foi ativado o programa Etherreal e verificado o existe o
envio de mensagem para o servidor contudo não recebo nada automaticamente.
Abaixo segue como está sendo enviado as mensagem via arquivo de
configuração.
Command.cfg
# 'notify-by-jabber' command definition
define command {
command_name notify-by-jabber
command_line /usr/libexec/notify_via_jabber.pl $CONTACTADDRESS1$
$HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$, $SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICEOUTPUT$
}
# 'host-notify-by-jabber' command definition
define command {
command_name host-notify-by-jabber
command_line /usr/libexec//notify_via_jabber.pl $CONTACTADDRESS1$ |
$HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$, $SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICEOUTPUT$
}
No arquivo de configuração contacts.cfg está sendo informado o login
CONTACTADDRESS1 como login existente em meu serviço Jabber.
Grato.
Luiz Gustavo

Re: [Nagios-users] Getting Nagios to go active
David Krider wrote: I've gotten a second Nagios server setup to work as a failover for a primary server. I think I've been thorough. The secondary server is successfully receiving and processing both passive host and passive service checks. Notifications and both kinds of active checks are turned off. When I stop the Nagios process on the primary server, the secondary fails the freshness check of the primary instance check. However, nothing happens after this, and it seems that I have 2 problems. 1) Even though I have max_check_attempts set to 1 on the master server's check_nagios check, it just continues to force active checks when the freshness times out. I expect it to fail hard, and stop checking the freshness. Maybe I'm wrong, though. Maybe the expected behavior here is to get the active host check going, and then the freshness will stop complaining. 2) All of my scripts seem to be lined up. The event handler fires, and I see proper things in the nagios.cmd file. [1246294798] ENABLE_NOTIFICATIONS [1246294798] START_EXECUTING_SVC_CHECKS [1246294820] START_EXECUTING_HOST_CHECKS I know the command file is being processed because I can get the secondary server to force checks from the cgi's. However, none of these things commands ever work, whether I force them from the command line, or from the cgi's. What could be keeping these from taking effect? I've been all over this thing for a couple days now, and I think my eyes are starting to glaze over. The only thing I can think of would be to enable all of these things in the master config file, but then immediately force them off when I start up the process. Then maybe it will work to turn them back on later? That can't be right... Desperately, Use merlin. It was designed for setting up redundant/loadbalanced systems and will transfer your check-results between your two nagios instances seemlessly. Check takeover happens automagically too, since both servers will try to schedule the check and whichever instance happens to execute it first will keep on executing the check until its latency reaches 15 seconds, where the server that didn't execute the check originally will automatically take it over because it'll be in its scheduling queue at the right moment and time.

I would like to check if the page is shown up and if it's not, it notifies Nagios which notifies me by email.

This looks decidedly odd. Time-7a_to_1a uses the check_period

the timeperiods or you were very confused when you created these

I'm guessing they should be reversed, no?

Re: [Nagios-users] check_period help?
Ah, yes. That would be the danger of using a GUI, I suppose. You're absolutely correct, I clicked on the wrong one when setting these up. Confusing everyone else was just a fun side-effect. That being said, I went ahead and changed those so they match up, but I'm still seeing strange behavior. The index service is next scheduled at 1:00am, and the lateindex service is next scheduled at 8:45am (it's 8:40am now here). I would have expected those services to be properly rescheduled to basically the exact opposite. The lateindex should be 1:00am and the index service should be the currently running service. And yes, I did check to make sure that the index service is running the correct service template and vice versa :) Do I need to do something to reset the scheduler over then a reload? Andrew This looks decidedly odd. Time-7a_to_1a uses the check_period 1a-7a_every_day. Either you were very confused when you named the timeperiods or you were very confused when you created these templates.

Re: [Nagios-users] Checking URL on windows-client using NSClient++
Dennis,
Your almost there, you need to set your vbs script to output an exit
code of 0-4 according to the nagios plug in documentation
(http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#PLUGOUTPUT)
. Then setup the nsclient to run your script as a plug in check. To do
that you will need to follow these basic steps.
1. add the configuration to the nsc.ini file on each xp workstation you
want to run this check on. It should look something like this:
[NRPE Handlers]
webpage_check=c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //nologo c:\program
files\nsclient++\scripts\web_page_check.vbs
2. Setup check in Nagios
In your commands definition file:
define command {
command_name webpage_check
command_line$USER1$/check_nrpe -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -t 60 -c webpage_check
}
In your services definition file:
define service {
host_name XPhost01, XPhost02
service_description check web page on XP host
display_namewebpage check
check_command webpage_check
use service-template
.
}
That should do it, and it uses your existing script (i.e. no rework).
Good luck, hope that helps,
-greg

Subject: [Nagios-users] Checking URL on windows-client using NSClient++
Hi,
I would like to check if a certain website is available on some of my
windows xp clients. These clients are public self-service computers to
make bookings for a railway organisation. Every now and then, some of
these self-service computers show a blank screen without the default
start-page.
I would like to check if the page is shown up and if it's not, it
notifies Nagios which notifies me by email.
I've tried to run an external script (vbs) which checks the availability
of the site and that goes well if you use it manually but i dont want
any popups saying: OK. It should run in the background. So i've edited
the vbs file and now it does check it and doesnt give any output
anymore.
Has anyone else tried something like this before?
I use NSClient++ and Nagios v3.0.6.
Kind Regards,
Dennis de Vries.

Re: [Nagios-users] monitoring external internet connectivity
Shadhin, I had our nagios ping google.com for awhile, but if something happens to the DNS server internally then it gave a false reading saying the internet was down when it was a DNS issue. Eventually I figured I could ping my ISP's IP address instead of hostname, and that seemed to work well. Im sure a place like google has more than 1 ip address associated with it, so I would pick an external IP address of a known site/company and plug it in. I also have SMS enabled/setup on my nagios machine so that when the internal network is down, an SMS message is generated and sent to the techie phones. (can't get email if the network is down, eh?)

I gotta 2nd Marc on that. We did get permission from our ISP to ping their network, as we are usually the first to know when one of our 28+ networks go down in the country :-) I too would get permission. Because if they don't know who you are, some attentive little admin at x site might see your possibly mis-configured nagios server as a DOS attack against their network and block you. Thus leaving you with a false response that your network is down :-) Or even if it's not mis-configured, having your server pinging their server at regular intervals might seem abit off to someone that's monitoring logs.

[Nagios-users] check_smtp issue
I have setup check_smtp in my Nagios to possibly check smtp flow.
I have manually tested initiated this command and seems to be ok:
nag...@servedhcp1~/libexec# ./check_smtp -H serveip1.csaa.com -w 3 -c 5 -t 100
SMTP OK - 0.003 sec. response time|time=0.002578s;3.00;5.00;0.00
Configured my cfgs in command.cfg:
define command{
command_namecheck_smtp
command_line$USER1$/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 25 -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
-t $ARG3$
}
Configured on host nrpe:
command[check_smtp]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smtp -p 25 -w 5 -c 8 -t 100
However when I check nagios page, I'm getting this error:
check_smtp: Warning time must be a positive integer
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Please advise.
Thanks!

Re: [Nagios-users] How to surpess notifications if ping fails.

Hello,
I have a working nagios2 installation under Ubuntu. I would like to
configure nagios so that when a host cannot be ping'd by nagios all other
services related to this server/s are stopped so I don't get a slew of
notifications for that host.
I'm thinking i want servicedepency directive in my dependecies.cfg file?
Does this sound about right?
define servicedependency{
hostgroup_name servers
service_description ping
dependent_hostgroup_nameservers
dependent_service_description *
execution_failure_criteria w,c
notification_failure_criteria w,u,c
}
Yes, that's one way to do it, though over-complicating it. The other
is to actually have ping (usually defined as check-host-alive) as the
host check, when the host is unreachable, the notifications for the
services will not be sent.
Nagios3 would also be a good idea for an upgrade (something I believe
ubuntu has as a package already) as the host checks are much better in
v3.

Jon,
Thanks for the reply. I've been struggling with this for some days. Can
you give me an example of what how to define this and in what file? I
would appreciate your help.
Files don't really matter. Nagios loads them all, and processes.
Its up to you how you want to format. Sometimes it's easier to
group by type (hosts, services, commands, etc), and others by
location (server room, etc). How you format is up to you. If you
want, you can even bundle it all in a single file.
Lines ending in \ are wrapped and should appear on a single line in
your config.
define command {
command_namecheck-host-alive
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ \
-w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% \
-p 5
}
define command {
command_namecheck_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTNAME$
}
define host {
host_name myhost
address 1.1.1.1
check_command check-host-alive
notification_optionsd,r
check_periodAll
max_check_attempts 3
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
contact_groups mycontacts
}
define service {
host_name myhost
check_command check_http
{.. other stuff here .. }
}
This will execute check_http against the myhost. check-host-alive
will be executed every 1 minute. If check-host-alive fails 3 times,
host is considered down, and alerts for check_http will be
suppressed. You should read up on host checks [1], service checks
[2], and notifications [3].
Also, I've not seen v3 in the repsository but maybe i need to change my
sources?
You didn't mention which version of ubuntu you were using, but
jaunty has nagios3...
