First off. Do NOT ever respond this way. You are
sending a load of crap to the mailinglist which is totally not relevant
to your message. Considere yourself in read-only mode if you are
subscribed in digest mode.

Set the notification interval to a
significant high number and you would get it once for all intends and

The defaults should be good enough for you. We can't
determine those for you. Use your own common sense to see what fits your

  Basicly I have in mind some thing like this.
 
  1. Define hosts in a file

  3, Define commands in a file
  4. Aggregate hosts in groups of similar types in a hostgroups file
  5. Aggregate services in groups of similar types in a servicegroups file
 
 
  Now, where I start to get confused here is that the service definitions
  seem to have a filed for one or more hostnames. Why is this?
 
 Services are often quite agnostic as to what kind of host they relate
 to.  Take for example FTP.  Various host types will accept an FTP
 connection but the service definition for them will always be pretty
 much the same.
 



Thanks for the thoguhtful reply.

I am still confused by why the service def's have a filed for hostname. As
you point out, services don't necisarily relate to hosts. They are
functions provided, or statuses of a machine. and I would think thta
servicegroups would be where the assoctation betwen the service, and
thehosts that you want to check for that service wouldbe.

Am I missing something?

Oh, I see.

No, I don't think you are missing anything.

I read somewhere (probably Wolfgang Barth's excellent book) that in
Nagios each service should be taken to be the combination of both the
service_description *and* the host_name.  Certainly in Nagios it is
not possible to have a service which exists without a host.  If you
look at the objects.cache file (probably under /usr/local/nagios/var/)
then you will see how Nagios stores each service definition.  Even if
you have defined services based on a hostgroup, Nagios will actually
internally regard each service on each host as a separate entity -
every service will have an entry for both host_name and
service_description.

The inbuilt service/host dependency and the host parent/child
relationships are important for Nagios in determining when it should
notify - in particular it won't notify for a service if the host is
down and usually won't notify for a host if the parent host is down.
The logic Nagios uses for determining dependencies and reachability
make Nagios a very powerful tool for ensuring you only receive
notifications for those hosts and services which are actually causing
the problem, not all the hosts and services which are down as a result
of the underlying problem.

I agree with you it can be a little counter-intuitive at times.  In
particular if you only have one service (for example ping) associated
with a host, it's not always obvious whether it would be appropriate
to acknowledge the service or the host when the ping fails.

 Dear all,

 Hopefully the people here can help me. I want to send notification
 emails to different email addresses based on which service is failing.
 So in other words, if service A fails email is sent to email address A
 and if service B fails email is sent to email address B but not to A.

 Is this even possible within Nagios or do I have to do this in the email
 server itself?

Yes, it's quite easy to configure.

You need to define two contacts, one for each of the email addresses,
then you can specfy which contact will receive the notification using
the 'contacts' directive in your service definition.

See:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service
and
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#contact

In fact you might find it best to set up contactgroups too, which
makes it easier to move people from one contactgroup to another
without editing all your service definitions.

[Nagios-users] Has anyone written plugin to monitor IIS App Worker Process Size ?

2010-12-30 Thread James Whittington
I'm running NSClient++ on some of my web servers and I was looking for ideas on 
how you might monitor IIS worker process size.
We host a number of websites and periodically we will discover one the worker 
processes has grown pretty big.
I am looking for a method to track largest memory usage amongst IIS worker 
processes on Windows 2008 server.

I have some ideas on how to script the check but my solution would have 
privileged account dump process information to a text file and the plugin would 
just be a perl script to parse the text files.  I was curious if others had 
created a vbs or powershell script that would do something similar.

The 5 ping value is written in the check as the default value. If you do not 
add any -p value, it pings the host 5x.  Just like if you do not add a -t value 
for a timeout for a check, it defaults to 10 seconds.

I don't think it works like that.  Personally I don't bother with
servicegroups hardly at all.

I use hostgroups to group various kinds of host together.  I then use
the hostgroup in the service definition to apply that service type to
all the hosts in the group.

These concepts are explained in..

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html

I also recommend the book Nagios by Wolfgang Barth (pub. No Starch
Press) as he has a quite readable way of introducing a lot of the
concepts you need to understand when designing a Nagios configuration.

You'll find that in Nagios there are usually about six ways to achieve
roughly the same thing.  Which one is 'best' will depend on what you
want to do and your own preference.

Jim

Bummer.  I wonder if the package's nagios.cfg file is different from the 
stock one.

I was using an old nagios.cfg file for a while.  It turned out there 
were new settings in the stock nagios.cfg that I had never integrated

[Nagios-users] Service Escalation via Host Group

2010-12-30 Thread Marc Haber
Hi,

I would like to have host and service escalations for all hosts that
are in a certain host group. The following hostescalation definition
seems to work fine:

define hostescalation {
hostgroup_name  norm-notify
contact_groups  admins-mail
first_notification  1
last_notification   0
notification_interval   120
escalation_options  d,u,r
escalation_period   24x7
}

define hostescalation {
hostgroup_name  norm-notify
contact_groups  admins-sms
first_notification  2
last_notification   0
notification_interval   120
escalation_options  d,u,r
escalation_period   24x7
}

The analogous service escalation definition is ignored:

define serviceescalation {
host_name   *
service_description *
hostgroup_name  norm-notify
contact_groups  admins-mail
first_notification  1
last_notification   0
notification_interval   120
escalation_options  w,u,c,r
escalation_period   24x7
}

define serviceescalation {
host_name   *
service_description *
hostgroup_name  norm-notify
contact_groups  admins-sms
first_notification  2
last_notification   0
notification_interval   120
escalation_options  w,u,c,r
escalation_period   24x7
}

When a service on a host which is member of host group norm-notify
goes down, notifications go out to the contact group that is mentioned
in the service definition. The service escalation definition seems to
be ignored.

Any idea what might be going wrong?

Greetings
Marc

maybe you can check the values of use_regexp_matching and

but by your configuration, all services will be escalated, not only

        contact_groups                  admins-mail
        first_notification              1
        last_notification               0
        notification_interval           120
        escalation_options              d,u,r
        escalation_period               24x7
 }

 define hostescalation {
        hostgroup_name                  norm-notify
        contact_groups                  admins-sms
        first_notification              2
        last_notification               0
        notification_interval           120
        escalation_options              d,u,r
        escalation_period               24x7
 }

 The analogous service escalation definition is ignored:

 define serviceescalation {
        host_name                       *
        service_description             *
        hostgroup_name                  norm-notify
        contact_groups                  admins-mail
        first_notification              1
        last_notification               0
        notification_interval           120
        escalation_options              w,u,c,r
        escalation_period               24x7
 }

 define serviceescalation {
        host_name                       *
        service_description             *
        hostgroup_name                  norm-notify
        contact_groups                  admins-sms
        first_notification              2
        last_notification               0
        notification_interval           120
        escalation_options              w,u,c,r
        escalation_period               24x7
 }

 When a service on a host which is member of host group norm-notify
 goes down, notifications go out to the contact group that is mentioned
 in the service definition. The service escalation definition seems to
 be ignored.

 Any idea what might be going wrong?

 Marc
