[Nagios-users] Antwort: RRDtool Aberrant behavior detection
Marco Tirado marco.tir...@gmail.com schrieb am 31.01.2009 18:01:55: I am very interested in integrating RRDtool's features for aberrant behavior detection with my nagios implementation. I still have not found a plugin for this and I would like to know if anybody has already implemented this. I guess an option would be to adapt plugins pnp4nagios or nagiosgraph to get it to work. Any pointers or comments are deeply appreciated. I'm unsure how you want to implement the ABD of RRD. Do you just want to use it to visualize anomalities, or do you want nagios to notify you if an anomality occurs? The pure visualization is pretty simple, I've already done that. Sadly the results were a bit - disappointing. After evaluating the graphs with aberrant behaviour detection we came to the conclusion, that about 99% of our nagios checks cannot be used to detect real anomalities. Things like diskfree, CPU, network i/o, disk i/o and the such do not follow strict patterns and are unpredictable most of the time. The only things we found ABD to be helpful with were monitoring temperature and humidity in our datacenters. PNP4Nagios can be easily used to implement ABD, all you have to do is change the rra.cfg to reflect the necessary aberrant behaviour detection RRAs. But keep in mind that you have to make those changes to the config _before_ the first RRD gets created, since you cannot add RRAs to existing RRDs - at least not without major knowledge in manipulating RRDs (say: export dump and manual import with selfmade scripts) Regards Sascha -- Sascha Runschke IT-Infrastruktur fon : +49 (201) / 102-1879 fax : +49 (201) / 102-1102105 mobil : +49 (173) / 5419665 GFKL Financial Services AG Vorstand: Dr. Peter Jänsch (Vors.), Jürgen Baltes, Dr. Tom Haverkamp Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Dr. Georg F.

Re: [Nagios-users] templates.cfg
You can extract the file to any directory you want and then add the cfg_file directive that points to it in the nagios.cfg . that being said - if your packages created a conf.d dir , your best way to go is to put it in there . This is a all inclusive directory where the nagios will read all .cfg files and load them.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios SELinux
I compiled Nagios 3 from source on CentOS 5.2 with SELinux set to Enforcing. I installed Nagios following the Fedora Quickstart guide. SELinux will prevent just about everything in Nagios' web page from running. It was an iterative process to get everything allowed, since I kept finding things I'd missed the previous time through these steps. CentOS 5.2 (and RHEL, I assume) had some SELinux tuning tools installed, but I don't know if they're available on other distros. 1. Click on the links in Nagios' side bar, try to send acknowlegements, etc. 2. Use the SE Troubleshoot Browser to take a look at the audit.log file and clean out anything not caused by Nagios. 3. If this isn't the first time through the steps, make a backup copy of your type enforcement settings (.te) file. 4. Run: #audit2allow -m mynagios -l -i audit.log mynagios.te 5. If this isn't the first time through the steps, use a text editor to merge the contents of your current and previous .te files. 6. Run: #checkmodule -M -m -o mynagios.mod mynagios.te 7. Run: #semodule_package -o mynagios.pp -m mynagios.mod 8. Run: #semodule -i mynagios.pp 9. Verify your policy package has been installed by running #semodule -i 10. Return to step 1 until SELinux lets Nagios do everything Nagios needs to do. Keeping a backup of your type enforcement file is necessary because if Nagios is allowed to do some things, they won't continue creating entries in audit.log, and audit2allow won't pick them up the next time around. You want your .te file to accumulate all the necessary settings. There was a Nagios policy package installed in CentOS already, but it didn't work for me. When you create your own SELinux policy packages, give your package a unique name. I think that will prevent it from being clobbered if the stock package gets updated by your distribution's maintainer. From: Stephen H.

Re: [Nagios-users] Disable inherited checks?
You can disable inherited service checks for a host by putting an exclamation mark in front of the host name in the service definition. Look for Excluding Hosts in http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html. Thanks Chris. The problem with that is that I need to list all hosts in the service definition. The problem I'm trying to solve is that we monitor around 70 nodes with Nagios, and when we add a new monitor, we have to update all host files and it's easy for some services to be missed on some nodes. To avoid that, I'd rather set things up so that all hosts monitor all services except where specifically excluded. In other words, everything on by default and selectively turn off what is not needed; it seems that Nagios works by having everything off by default and selectively turning things on.

Re: [Nagios-users] lun monitoring
What would you monitor? Path availability would be the only item of note, and querying that information will vary by SAN driver and OS. Otherwise a LUN should show up as a disk with a filesystem that could be monitored with existing tools.

Re: [Nagios-users] Disable inherited checks?
Another way to make scaling host configurations easier is to use the service - hostgroup - host relationship in your configuration. For example, we have one set of SNMP-based checks that work for the Net-SNMP SNMp agent, and another set that work with the commercial SysEdge agent.. So, combining the previous poster's idea with this relationship, we create a base sysedge-host host template and then add the host template and all of the Sysedge checks to the sysedge-hosts host group. This way hosts can inherit from a single template and get all the checks associated with that group. We use this dual template and host group method when we have custom attributes that we need to add in order for the custom checks to work .. in cases where you don't have custom attributes like SNMP ports and community strings etc, you could just create related groups of services, add them to a host group, then just add new or existing hosts to the host group through the host group attribute of the host .. and voila .. done. - max -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ___ 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

[Nagios-users] Nagios threshold for
We have a problem that frequently pops up in our monitoring environment. Our monitoring server has adequate bandwidth but we share with an occasional bandwidth hog. Sometimes they steal the bulk of our available bandwidth causing Nagios to be unable to adequately reach the systems it monitors. What results is an onslaught of hundreds and thousands of pages to everyone telling us that systems and services are down... one page for each that is monitored! Sometimes more if the bandwidth is pinched for a prolonged period of time. Legitimate pages are lost in the process. Is there a way to put a threshold on Nagios if Time Out messages are received from a certain number of hosts or services? If 4 distinct sites are timing out at the same time it should stop all notifications for all hosts and services and send a single page indicating a bandwidth issue.

Sorry for the top-posting: I'm stuck with Outlook. Have you tried templates? We have ~550 hosts and ~4500 services, and it'd be a real pain to not use templates. I have a host template definition for Windows servers, which adds anything assigned that template to a windows_servers host group. I have a bunch of services defined which are assigned to everything in the windows_servers host group. When I add a new Windows host, I put use prod_windows_server in the host definition, and the host is automatically assigned service checks for CPU, C drive, E drive, memory, page file, running antivirus, and a couple others. I have a similar setup for development servers, but we don't let them send notifications outside of work hours. For servers needing extra checks, I just add the extra service checks to the hosts that need them. For the servers which aren't standard for our environment (some predate the standardization push and have a D: instead of an E: drive, for example), I put a !hostname in the appropriate service check definition. -Original Message- From: Keith Edmunds [mailto:k...@midnighthax.com] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 11:19 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Disable inherited checks? You can disable inherited service checks for a host by putting an exclamation mark in front of the host name in the service definition. Look for Excluding Hosts in http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objecttricks.html. Thanks Chris. The problem with that is that I need to list all hosts in the service definition. The problem I'm trying to solve is that we monitor around 70 nodes with Nagios, and when we add a new monitor, we have to update all host files and it's easy for some services to be missed on some nodes. To avoid that, I'd rather set things up so that all hosts monitor all services except where specifically excluded. In other words, everything on by default and selectively turn off what is not needed; it seems that Nagios works by having everything off by default and selectively turning things on. I can, of course, put host_name * in the service definition, but then I need to disable that service for some hosts. Hmm, thinking aloud, maybe I can do host_name *, !not_this_one, !or_this_one ... I'll try that.

Re: [Nagios-users] lun monitoring
Marc, In the spirit that each tool is supposed to fill one function and do it well, I don't use Nagios for trending. Nagios is operational status monitoring only. I'd suggest you look at other tools for that level of performance. One issue you will have is where will you query it? On certain OS's you can query disk statistics, or you may be able to get the data from the backend storage, or perhaps an aggregate from the SAN switch. I am not aware of any integrated solutions except those high dollar packages sold by storage vendors (ala TPC). Good luck.

Re: [Nagios-users] HP Network Printer
Hi Martyn. I'm not sure why check_hpjd did not get compiled on your system. It appears you need at least net-snmp, and probably net-snmp-devel packages at least, as here is what is on my system: $ rpm -qa | grep snmp net-snmp-libs-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2 net-snmp-utils-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2 net-snmp-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2 net-snmp-devel-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2 net-snmp-perl-5.3.1-24.el5_2.2 Have you checked for those packages installed, as they are not installed by Nagios, and depending on your linux distro, may not be in the default setup.. I have it on mine, but I use lots of SNMP, so it's no surprise.. I don't see any option for checking toner, but maybe that's a different check...

Two separate issues here:
1) For the utils.pm problem, you can add this line to the script
after the shebang line to have the perl interpreter find utils.pm.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib 'usr/lib/nagios/plugins/';
2) For your custom service check command I recommend using custom
attributes if you are using Nagios 3. Two benefits:
a) You can associate your service with a hostgroup and then just add
hosts to that host group to have them pull in the service (don't have
to redefine new copies of the service over and over
b) More readabl configurations.
E.g. (made up example, does not match your code)
define command{
command_namecheck_snmp_storage
command_line$USER1$/my_disk_check_command.pl -w
$_HOST_DISK_WARN$ -c $_HOST_DISK_CRIT$ --partitions
$_HOST_DISK_PARTITION$
}
Then create your service one time and add it to the disk-check-hosts group
define service {
service_description Disk Check Service
hostgroup_name disk-check-hosts
more attributes ...
}
Then create a host group disk-check-hosts
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name disk-check-hosts
alias Disk check hosts
}
Then in your host you can use:
define host {
use generic-host
hostgroups +disk-check-hosts
__disk_partitions /var,/home
__disk_warn 85
__disk_crit 95
}
Little more work, but now you can add the service to additional hosts
by just adding them to the disk-check-hosts hostgroup and defining the
custom attributes in the host .. which means someone maintaining the
code sees the attributes in one place .. with the host definition.
Much more readable than having to browse through many services :).

I'm no cacti expert, but to me, that's the beauty of it - I don't really know the inner workings of cacti, and I am not a programmer or scripter, but I got it up and running pretty quickly. I'm not sure if you would call it autodiscovery, but cacti does do an snmpwalk on the devices that you specify, and the pre-built data collection methods that come with it are designed for getting snmp interface statistics. You can, of course, add other data collection methods, but out of the box, it is basically an interface traffic grapher. You still have to manually input each device that you will collect data for. Once you have specified the basic host information, it gives you a table showing all of the interfaces on that device and a checkbox for each item that can be graphed. To be fair, though (and this applies to nagios as well as cacti) most of the effort you put in to setting up a monitoring solution is a one-time thing. It takes time to input all of the devices, but for the most part once the devices to be monitored are specified, that work is over.

I think people incorrectly place a lot of emphasis on this or that product's autodiscovery function. Cacti's interface makes it really easy to maintain the configuration, and I think that is a bigger win than autodiscovery. I consider autodiscovery to be absolutely critical. Maintaining a handfull of machines is one thing, hundreds or thousands or machines outside of your control are another. I wrote NACE to allow me to perform fast autodiscovery for Nagios, and I've been pleased to couple it with Torrus so they both have the same list of hosts. What do you mean by new device types? Device types are essentially templates for what to monitor on a given device. Hosts are cpu/mem/disk/net, switches might be ports/traffic/cpu/mem/temp, etc. Thanks. -- Russell Adamsrlad...@adamsinfoserv.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint:1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3 -- Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.

However, I'm running a distributed setup with active and passive service checks, so I'm not only interested in the active checks, but also in the passive checks The default filter for unhandled service problems is : Not in schedulded downtime Has not been acknowledged Active checks enabled = serviceprops = 42 what I really need is : Not in schedulded downtime Has not been acknowledged Active checks enabled || Passive checks enabled = serviceprops = ?? I looked into the status.c source, but I can't seem to find the values to compose custom filters. Is there anyone out there who can point me into the right direction ?
