Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios SNMP
I'm not aware of any good SNMP tutorials. Your best bet is probably the Wikipedia entry for SNMP (which focuses more on the protocol and less on using snmp to actually monitor stuff) or the net-snmp project's FAQ and documentation (http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/FAQ.html). Your first step should be to determine if the tools from net-snmp are able to successfully scrape data from the target device. Once you're able to do that using the 'snmpwalk' or 'snmpget' set of commands, you'll be in good shape to have Nagios pull information from target devices. Trying to debug SNMP through Nagios is far harder than doing it via the commandline. -Gius -Original Message- From: Luc MAIGNAN [mailto:luc.maig...@winxpert.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 8:24 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios SNMP Well, in fact no.

Re: [Nagios-users] Service notification
This is right. You should use your check-host-up service check as a host check instead. That will get the behavior you're looking for. -Gius -Original Message- From: Herb J. [mailto:nag...@herb-j.com] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2010 9:54 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Service notification Nagios won't do that. If I recall correctly, when the host check fails, it refuses to generate any further service notifications for that host until the host check succeeds again. It also won't generate service recovery notifications when those services actually come back online either. Our solution for that was to add a second host check (i.e., create a new define command block) for devices that don't respond to PING. For those devices, we configure them to use the new host check (i.e., use the command you just created for that host's check command directive) that checks HTTP status. I work at a web hosting company, so 100% of our servers listen on either PING, HTTP, or FTP, so we have those three choices for the host check. You will need to create another host check (or two or three if necessary) that can be used for the devices that don't respond to PING and configure those devices to use one of the alternate host checks.

Re: [Nagios-users] Help - I just blew away my configs
A pretty significant portion of the configurations are stored in the objects cache (/var/log/Nagios/objects.cache for me). This won't be as clean as your configs (and I'm not sure Nagios can use this file as a config directly), but you should be able to recover a pretty good amount of your running configs from there, and start reconstructing the config files. May I be the first to suggest placing your configuration in revision control, which will help mitigate this problem in the future. I would suggest Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) or git (http://git-scm.com/).

Re: [Nagios-users] Where to store plugins in a standard nagios3 installation
We use two variables, USER1 and USER2 to reflect the location of the default
Nagios plugins and any custom plugins that we write. So a sample command
definition looks like:
## Ping check definition
define command {
command_namecheck-host-alive
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c
5000.0,100% -p 1 -4
}
Where $USER1$ is defined as the location that our Nagios RPM installs plugins
(/var/lib/Nagios/plugins I believe).
Most of our custom plugins are executed entirely on our central Nagios server,
so this setup works well for us.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Where to store plugins in a standard nagios3

Hi,
I'm testing nagios 3 on ubuntu 10.04.
I've downloaded a plugin from nagios exchange, but where the file must
be in
order to be run?
Particularly, I've downloaded check_cisco.pl from nagios exchange, and
I've
put it in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
I've also given a chmod 0755, and chown root:root.
The problem is taht it is not recognized, i.e. in a .cfg file I've used
it as
check_command .pl check_cisco -h $HOSTADDRESS$ -c public -i
BRI0
but when I do a
/etc/init.d/nagios3 restart
I have the following error:
Error: Host check command 'check_cisco.pl -h $HOSTADDRESS$ -c
public -i
BRI0/0/0:1' specified for host 'ISDNRouter' is not defined anywhere!
What have I done wrong
Thanks in advance
Francesco

[Nagios-users] Circular Service Dependencies: Better ways?
I have a problem that pretty much the same as this one from a couple years back:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.devel/4167/focus=4168
Basically, I want to only send notifications when both of these services are in
the red:
define servicedependency{
host_name server0
dependent_host_name server1
dependent_service_description service0
service_description service0
inherits_parent 0
execution_failure_criteria n
notification_failure_criteria o
}
define servicedependency{
host_name server1
dependent_host_name server0
dependent_service_description service0
service_description service0
inherits_parent 0
execution_failure_criteria n
notification_failure_criteria o
}
Nagios throws an error with the above configuration (which can be overridden
with -x).
The thread I reference above talks about using check_cluster, although the
documentation on that is a little sparse, and it specifically references Nagios
2, so it may not have been updated in quite some time.
Is there any better way to achieve this behavior, or is the solution from two
years ago still the way to go?
