Re: [Nagios-users] sms alert notification in Nagios 3.4.1

2012-08-29 Thread Simone Felici
All works fine until a network issue is there. In this case you loose important 
sms messages.
This is the mainly reason we use an sms gateway only as second choise.
Attach a gsm modem on the monitoring system and send out notifications is 
really simple. look at 
smstools3.kekekasvi.com i.e.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification did not execute

2012-08-29 Thread Net Warrior
Cannot do that cuz it-s a production server, I have a testing server
where I test the alarms with the same configuration and it works
If I find something I will let you know.

Thanks

 That is really strange. Have you tried changing its ip to an invalid one and
 see if you can recreate the problem?

  Your should look at the log before the service notification was
  suppressed
  because the host was down. I'm 90% sure the reason why your host down
  notification was not sent was because the host was in a soft state type
  and
  came back online before it was determined to be in a hard state. And you
  didn't post your linux-server template config so you will have to check
  your
  and retry_interval definition.
 
  For my host objects I set a retry_interval of 1 and max_check_attemps of
  2
  in the template so I get notified a little quicker when a host goes
  down.

[Nagios-users] Are macros allowed inside custom variables?

2012-08-29 Thread Chris Beattie
Are macros allowed to be used inside custom variables?  I'm using Nagios 
3.2.3.  I was experimenting with using custom variables in host 
definitions for clusters.  I couldn't figure out if there was a way to 
make this work.

It didn't seem to matter how I escaped the $s or not, whether I used 
$_hostwarn$ or just $_warn$, or if I defined new commands with the 
custom variables in place of $ARGn$.

I already have cluster checks which don't use custom variables and work 
fine, and other service checks which use custom variables from the host 
for parameters and also work fine.

One of my working cluster checks returns this:
CLUSTER OK: dmz_cluster_1: 3 ok, 0 warning, 0 unknown, 0 critical

However, I set up another check for the same cluster using custom 
variables, and it returns this instead:
CLUSTER CRITICAL: dmz_cluster_1_foo: 1 ok, 0 warning, 0 unknown, 0 critical

Here's an example of what I was trying to accomplish:

define host {
use esx-server
nameesx-cluster
host_groups esx_clusters
check_command   check_cluster!host!@$_warn$:!@$_crit$:!$_hostcluster$
register0
}

define host {
use esx-cluster
host_name   esx_cluster_1
alias   esx_cluster_1
parents parent1,parent2,parent3
_warn   1
_crit   2
_hostcluster 
$HOSTSTATEID:parent1$,$HOSTSTATEID:parent2$,$HOSTSTATEID:parent3$
_servicecluster 
$SERVICESTATEID:parent1:Ping$,$SERVICESTATEID:parent2:Ping$,$SERVICESTATEID:parent3:Ping$
}

define service {
use standard_service
host_name   esx_cluster_1
service_description cluster_health
display_namecluster_health
check_command   
check_cluster!service!@$_warn$:!@$_crit$:!$_servicecluster$
}

define command {
command_namecheck_cluster
command_line$USER1$/check_cluster --$ARG1$ --label=$HOSTNAME$ 
--warning=$ARG2$ --critical=$ARG3$ --data=$ARG4$
}

[Nagios-users] Remote event handlers using NRPE

2012-08-29 Thread Tech Support
All;

I'm trying to setup event handlers on remote machines that I am
monitoring using NRPE to restart dead or hung services. I've been reading up
on a few how-to's I found online but they all seem to require that NRPE be
compiled with support for command arguments. Since everything I read about
NRPE says that allowing command arguments is a very bad idea, I was
wondering if it is even possible to execute remote event handlers without
having support for it.

Thanks;

John

Re: [Nagios-users] Remote event handlers using NRPE

2012-08-29 Thread Nick Smith
I dont have an answer about your NRPE question, but if i had to guess
i would say its not possible with out support compiled in.

I did recently find this however:

http://www.edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus/

I have it running all kinds of checks via WMI on my domain and it has
the ability to restart a hung or dead process, i would recommend you
check it out, i like it alot better than NRPE and there is no client
to install.

Hope that helps.

Re: [Nagios-users] Remote event handlers using NRPE

2012-08-29 Thread Daniel Wittenberg
WMI assumes you are running Windows…

With NRPE I haven't seen a way to do it without being pass arguments.  I'm just 
careful with scripts that can take arguments that they scrub what's being 
passed in.
