Re: [Nagios-users] Long running notification script

I don't particularly care, if Nagios gets a valid return code back, so I set the main script to fork twice, with the initial process printing 'OK' and exiting with a return code of 0. The child process also exits immediately with a return code of 0, while the grandchild hangs around to do some heavy lifting. I was hoping that the double-fork would keep Nagios from blocking on the process, but the debug logs are still showing: [1300401208.452280] [032.1] [pid=55343] Adding normal contacts for service to notification list. [1300401239.455867] [032.0] [pid=55343] 1 contacts were notified. Next possible notification time: Fri Mar 18 03:33:28 2011 When I'm expecting the '1 contacts were notified' to happen pretty much immediately. Any ideas to get around this, other than writing out a spool file and having a secondary daemon handle the heavy lifting? This sounds like the same issue I had my ocsp_command script. The main nagios program was waiting on the grandchild even though the child had returned already. In my case it was because the grandchild still had filehandles back to to nagios open. When I closed filehandles 4 and 5 in the grandchild before it went off to do its real work I got the desired behavior; nagios considered the script run once the child returned, and grandchild was to free to take as long as it needed to complete.

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Nagios Configuration with Passive Checks
If I understand you correctly, are you trying to have your master server accept passive checks from other Nagios servers and check services and servers itself? If so, what I think would be easier (and is the method recommended by the docs) would be to just set up a second Nagios server (or instance) to run the checks that the master is currently doing and have the master only accept passive checks. The master would have enable_notifications on, execute_service_checks off. The slaves would have enable_notifications off, execute_service_checks on. There's more to it than just that, read the following guide for more information: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html Also, if you simply want a unified interface, you might want to look at Nagios Fusion. I haven't used it, but it might be what you want. Good luck, Jeffrey. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 9:43 PM, Samuel Kidman samuel.kid...@panres.comwrote: Hello I am trying to set up a distributed nagios configuration that will monitor n mine-sites.

You want to use templating so that the master is set to active checks enabled no while the slave is set to active checks enabled yes. In Opsview (http://opsview.com), our db based configuration database knows if a host is monitored on the master or on a remote slave. We generate configurations for a host (and services) appropriately. We've also done loads of work so you can manage it from the central master and it will distribute downtimes/acknowledgements/disables to slave systems as well.

[Nagios-users] define service with multiple contactgroups
Hi,
I'd like to create *one* service definition which I can use to alert different
contact_groups depending on the hostgroup the server belongs to. I'd like to
contact different teams for our windows and linuxserver.
Below I added a short snippet of what I've done so far. As you can see I
played around with serviceescalations but had no luck. When the service is
critical both pager receive a notification.
My next thought is to use the generic template and create two service
template
snippets and change the contactgroup, but I don't like to define ecery service
twice.
Perhaps there's a better way to achieve the desired behaviour. Any help is
appreciated.
Regards,
Axel

Re: [Nagios-users] define service with multiple contactgroups
Check out the documentation's section on implied inheritance. It might let you do what you want: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html Services can inherit their contact_groups from their associated host definition. You do this by *not* assigning a contact_group in the service definition. -Original Message- From: Axel Rosenski [mailto:rosen...@wave-computer.de] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 3:51 PM I'd like to create *one* service definition which I can use to alert different contact_groups depending on the hostgroup the server belongs to. I'd like to contact different teams for our windows and linuxserver. -- Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.

Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Nagios Configuration with PassiveChecks
-Original Message- From: Jeffrey Watts [mailto:jeffrey.w.wa...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 21 March 2011 9:44 PM To: Nagios Users List Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Distributed Nagios Configuration with PassiveChecks If I understand you correctly, are you trying to have your master server accept passive checks from other Nagios servers and check services and servers itself? That's right. If so, what I think would be easier (and is the method recommended by the docs) would be to just set up a second Nagios server (or instance) to run the checks that the master is currently doing and have the master only accept passive checks. Would there be any issues with running the HQ instance on the same server as the master instance? snip Regards, Sam -- Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.

Anyone out there runing XI on SLES (specifically SLES 11)? While the actual code (a mix of C, Perl, and PHP) don't care what distribution it is, all of the installation scripts, documentation, cron jobs, etc. are tailored for RHEL/CentOS, and it would be very difficult to get them properly ported over. We may expand the distro support in the future, but for the time being it is limited to those. That said, you can still use XI in a SLES shop. You would need one system (or virtual machine) running XI on a CentOS base, but it could then monitor your SLES systems as targets. The documentation for the Agent piece currently covers RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian, but that would be quite a bit easier to adapt to SLES than XI itself. -- Tony Yarusso Technical Team ___ Nagios Enterprises, LLC Email: tyaru...@nagios.com Web:www.nagios.com -- Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.

Why would you pay for Nagios XI when you can use the same func for free with Nagios+pnp4nagios There's a bit more too it than that. Nagios XI does include a number of free projects packaged together, including Nagios Core, pnp4nagios, NagiosQL, and MRTG, and for some people there's value in having that pre-packaged, but that's not the prime selling point. The bigger issues are things like the configuration wizards, easier configuration of contacts and contact methods, the ability to build custom dashboards, autodiscovery, expanded management-friendly reporting and visualizations, and some other pre-built integration pieces. On a related note though, we are working on something to better demonstrate the capabilities of the free components like pnp4nagios, so people can see what's possible with each and find out about some of the cool community projects that are out there. You should see more about that in our newsletter and on Twitter soon. -- Tony Yarusso Technical Team ___ Nagios Enterprises, LLC Email: tyaru...@nagios.com Web:www.nagios.com -- Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
