Hi,
There is no entry in maillog because I'm not using the default Linux mail
client, but a perl script called sendEmail.pl.
I'm going to raise logging level to see if there's anything wrong.
By the way, I've checked and even two services from the same host (using the
same template) are giving me problems, since one service notifies me, but the
other doesn't.
I'm testing with custom notifications, but happens the same when I do passive
checks to automatically generate notifications.

Just to toss another fly in the ointment, it's dangerous to test a service by examining what Windows thinks it's doing. Many times a service says it's up but is actually dead. It would be more reliable to write a plugin that would actually examine the service to see if it can/is actually working.

I'm trying to understand how notification intervals work when it comes to basic service definitions and serviceescalation definitions. Does Nagios disregard the initial notification_interval of a service definition, once it reaches an escalation, in favor of the escalation's notification_interval? Example: I have a service's notification_interval set to 15, so that once a state change occurs, a notification is sent out, then another after 15 minutes, and another after 15 minutes, etc... With Nagios counting the notifications as they get sent. Now, I want to define an escalation for that service so that on notification number 2 Nagios notifies a different contact_group. I have the notification_interval for the escalation set to 10 minutes. How does the notification_interval work in this instance, where the period is different? Hey Mike, If there is a matching escalation definition that will take precedence over the service definition.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications on passive service checks
After some testing, it looks like it will only re-notify after receiving another passive check result. It won't simply re-notify because it's still in a non-ok state after the notification_interval has expired. So to combat this I just used the check freshness attribute to re-execute my external script and feed the passive check result into nagios and thus re-sending a non-ok notification at what would have been the interval for notifications.

Escalations can resolve this - if you set an escalation to trigger at notification 1 and set a re-notify interval in the escalation you will be re-notified at the set interval while the service remains in the configured alarm state. - Max On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 4:41 PM, Alberto Menichetti alb.meniche...@tai.it wrote: Hi all, I noticed the same strange behavior, but I don't think it's the right behavior.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications on passive service checks
In my opinion it'useless in this scenario; the official doc says: Volatile services differ from normal services in three important ways. */Each time/ they are checked* when they are in a hard non-OK state, and the check returns a non-OK state (i.e. no state change has occurred)... But in my setup passive services are never checked (they are trap collectors, and my devices send traps on state change). Let's suppose this scenario: 1. interface Gi0/1 on catalyst switch goes down 2. the switch sends a linkDown trap to the manager 3. the manager decodes the event and submits the alert via nagios.cmd 4. the service associated with that switch changes it's state to critical 5. the contacts are notified (the first time) 6. that's all...contacts will never be notified again until a new linkDown trap is processed Martin Melin wrote: Just use the built in feature for this: is_volatile.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications on passive service checks
Actually , the fact that the check is passive or active is some what irrelevant in this context.

The GCI shows that the hpd-crac-07 check has notifications enabled, but
when I view notifications for this service, it hasn't sent any. We
have similar checks in place that do send notifications, but the key
difference here is that the above check is a purely passive one, i.e. it
only receives check results.
Is the service still in a soft state? Notifications are only usually
sent when the service goes in to a hard state. If the passive check
is only sent once to indicate a critital or warning state, I believe
you will need to set max_check_attempts to 1.
To make sure your templates are being applied correctly, take a look
at what does the service definition looks like in your objects.cache
file.

I've found the fault. It was the max_check_attempts, which I should
have set to unity!

Subject: [Nagios-users] notifications for a passive Nagios check
I have a Nagios passive check which doesn't send out any alerts when
it's in a critical status:
define service{
name hpcsg-service
register 0
max_check_attempts3
normal_check_interval 30
retry_check_interval 1
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled1
check_period 24x7
check_freshness 0
obsess_over_service 0
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
notifications_enabled 1
contact_groupshpcsg
}
define service{
use hpcsg-service
name r89-service
register 0
contact_groupsr89
check_freshness 0
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled1
notifications_enabled 1
}
define service{
use r89-service
host_name r89-trap.esc.rl.ac.uk
service_description hpd-crac-07
check_command none
}
define command{
command_namenone
command_line/bin/true
}
The GCI shows that the hpd-crac-07 check has notifications enabled, but
when I view notifications for this service, it hasn't sent any. We
have similar checks in place that do send notifications, but the key
difference here is that the above check is a purely passive one, i.e. it
only receives check results.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the problem that I am having, I hope someone can help point out something obvious that I have missed. 1) Hosts are being monitored just fine, status map shows red when a host goes down, event log shows alerts like it should. 2) Timeframes are set for 24/7 3) All host and service notifications are enabled 4) email address is correct 5) All hosts services are, at a minimum, set for w,c,u,r 6) If I go to a service or host and click on the link Send custom host notification it will send the notification without forcing it so I know that the timeframes are being read correctly and this also verifies the email address is correct and the mail send is working. 7) The event log doesn't show that it's even trying to send a notification when something alerts.

Hello,
This is just a template and not a complete host definition. In fact,
they were all just templates and missing critical pieces of
information or may have parts that are overridden in the full
definition. You should post the entire definition for the host,
contact group and contact as found in objects.cache. At first glance,
you don't specify any notification_options for the host. With
Nagios-3, this will mean that all states will result in a notification
but under 2.x I believe that behavior is different. I'd go ahead and
specify the specific states to you want to receive notifications for.

Re: [Nagios-users] notifications not being sent on host down/unreachable
I included the template because the actual host definitions only include the
server specific information. I'm not overriding anything. For example...
define host{
use standard-host
host_name server1
hostgroups +servers
alias server1
address server1.domain.com
}
The same goes for contacts everything else.

Re: [Nagios-users] notifications not being sent on host down/unreachable
So this is working now but I'm not sure why. I deleted the objects.cache
file and restarted and got a host down alert as soon as nagios came up.
On a whim I deleted the cache file and restarted nagios and it sent out a
host down alert. I didn't change anything else.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications during network outage
Sure it is. The official documentation has a great section on this, which ends with: By default, Nagios will notify contacts about both DOWN and UNREACHABLE host states. As an admin/tech, you might not want to get notifications about hosts that are UNREACHABLE. You know your network structure, and if Nagios notifies you that your router/firewall is down, you know that everything behind it is unreachable. If you want to spare yourself from a flood of UNREACHABLE notifications during network outages, you can exclude the unreachable (u) option from the *notification_options* directive in your hosthttp://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#hostdefinitions and/or the *host_notification_options* directive in your contacthttp://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#contactdefinitions. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/networkreachability.html On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 7:00 PM, John Andrunas j...@andrunas.net wrote: I have a couple of remote sites, and when the link between the main site and remote site goes down a LOT of notifications are generated for hosts in the remote site.

If you are using the standard check_disk plugin, I expect it needs
some options to tell it what the warning and critical thresholds are
and which disk you want to check. Run check_disk --help from the
command line to see which options are required.
if it passed through NRPE, on the other side i can configure to work
without passing anything and the NRPE side will have all appropriate
parameters, plus nagios reports me disk usage so it's obviously
working the way it should
Do other notifications work okay from your Nagios system, or are you

You don't have notifications configured properly.
Seriously though, this is not enough information to provide even a
guess what you've done wrong. There are many more variables than what
you've detailed here and nothing you've provided says anything about
your notification configuration. For starters, do you have the correct
notification options for the service? For the contact? Is the
timeperiod valid for both? Is the service reaching an alertable, HARD
state?
If you want help with this, post the following--
*From objects.cache* --
host definition
service definition
contactgroup definition
contact definition
the service notification command{} definition for the contact
all referenced timeperiod definitions
From nagios.log --
all entries related to this host or service around the time you expect
a notification to be sent.
From maillog --
any entries related to messages for the contact
Also, verify in the web interface that notifications are enabled for
the host and service and that it is not in a period of scheduled
downtime.

You don't have notifications configured properly.
Seriously though, this is not enough information to provide even a
guess what you've done wrong. There are many more variables than what
you've detailed here and nothing you've provided says anything about
your notification configuration. For starters, do you have the correct
notification options for the service? For the contact? Is the
timeperiod valid for both? Is the service reaching an alertable, HARD
state?
If you want help with this, post the following--

Hrmm. Good as well... Certainly getting into the long tail of obscure
issues now (unless I missed something)... Do you have any service
escalations defined? Could they apply to this service? And to cover
it, make sure you don't have multiple nagios daemons running at the
same time (stop nagios, kill any that remain, restart nagios). There
could be contention over the status.dat file with the values changing
as each daemon wrote the file and you only see the values of the last
one to write it.
Beyond that, my next recourse would be to enable debug mode and follow
that for clues.

If you are using the standard check_disk plugin, I expect it needs
some options to tell it what the warning and critical thresholds are

command line to see which options are required.
Do other notifications work okay from your Nagios system, or are you

Re: [Nagios-users] notifications
Increase your nagios logging to include at least notifications, verify that
notifications are at least trying to be sent out. If you see the mail
notification in your nagios.log, you should be able to run the exact command
via command line. Also to verify you check_nrpe1 command run the exact
command from command line. If there are syntax errors, you should see them
via command line.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications severely impacting Nagios performance. Ideas?
2009/8/25 Ryan Bowlby rbowlb...@yahoo.com: Hello Everyone, We are experiencing issues with Nagios notifications. Apparently when a large amount of services become critical and trigger notifications the system all but stops processing new service check results (passive). The last check times in the web interface stop updating until notifications are disabled. Tailing the nagios.log file during this issue shows mostly notifications and hardly any check results being processed. As soon as I temporarily disable notifications - system wide - the passive check results literally fly off the screen, and all the stale results in the web interface clear up quickly. How does everyone handle this issue? Obviously the notifications are a bottleneck. Has anyone configured notifications to be dropped in a file or fifo to be processed by an external daemon? Something like OCP daemon if anyone is familiar with it. Obviously parent child relationships would prove useful in curbing the notifications, but implementation of relationships is a while off (5 D.C.s lot's a data to have to collect). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

As soon as I temporarily disable notifications - system wide - the passive check results literally fly off the screen, and all the stale results in the web interface clear up quickly. I can confirm this behavior, at least under 2.x. I haven't had a major outage under 3.x yet to see if it still happens. My previous speculation on the issue is at the link below. I don't have enough knowledge of the code to be certain that's what's really happening though. Since then, I've come to suspect that it might actually be the logic to determine who gets notified rather than the actual notification itself. http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg10803.html How does everyone handle this issue? I tried backgrounding the notification script but that didn't help. We recognize that in the event of a major outage, we don't want to receive those notifications anyway so we disable notifications program- wide until the outage is over. Not a fix, per-se, but a workable process for us. It just doesn't happen often enough to really troubleshoot or spend a lot of time on. -- Marc -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications severely impacting Nagios performance. Ideas?
Hello Ryan, I do not know what is organization of your network, but maybe you could take a look into service/host dependency. It depends on your network organization, but I think it could help http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html its purpose is to suppress notifications in case main host is down, in such case you get only notification about that problem. As I beleive that you have some gateway/router and in case it has some problems you are getting many notifications, and I think it is rara that many hosts have some local problem at same time Hope this helps Nice regards, Arlen On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 4:43 AM, Ryan Bowlbyrbowlb...@yahoo.com wrote: Hello Everyone, We are experiencing issues with Nagios notifications.

I see that you're applying service monitoring to hostgroups in
addition to specific hosts. Is it possible that these new servers are
in the 'solaris-servers' hostgroup or a different hostgroup that
receives the additional monitoring?

Grant Lowe (gl...@sbcglobal.net) scritto: hostgroup_name solaris-servers hostgroup_name solaris-servers Any ideas on why all the extra monitoring? Check wether the extra monitors are configured to hostgroup level. If you put a host in solaris-server group and you have, let's say, disk check defined at the hostgroup level, all the hosts in that hostgroup will have the disk check applied.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications
I just checked. All added hosts are members of the hostgroup solaris-servers.
Thanks Eric.

Hi All,
I've had nagios 3.0.3 on a linux box, going for several months now, checking
swap, disk space, number of processes, and several other services on about 8
UNIX hosts. Last week, a fellow admin decided he wanted to add a bunch of
hosts. He added the hosts, but only added the check_ping service for the
hosts. But for some reason, nagios is doing the additional aforementioned
services, not just ping, so now I have all these errors. My services file
looks like this:
define service{
use generic-service
host_name
server1,server2,server3,server4,server5,server6,server7,server8,server9,server10,server11,server12,server13,server14,server15,server16,server17,server18

Any ideas on why all the extra monitoring?

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications
Yes, that seems like the problem. But the way nagios is setup, I don't think I
understand its setup. I see in my templates a host definition that has these
lines:
name solaris-servers
hostgroups solaris-server
In the hosts.cfg, services.cfg, and hostgroups file, this definition:
hostgroup_name solaris-servers
alias solaris-servers
It looks the problem is there. But I'm not sure why. Please help me out.
Thanks, Marc.

I see that you're applying service monitoring to hostgroups in
addition to specific hosts. Is it possible that these new servers are
in the 'solaris-servers' hostgroup or a different hostgroup that
receives the additional monitoring?

It looks the problem is there. But I'm not sure why. Please help

It's actually a combination. The service definition above says it
should be applied to specific hosts (host_name line) *and* all hosts
in the hostgroup 'solaris-servers' (hostgroup_name). Since the hosts
are put into the solaris-servers hostgroup courtesy of their use of
the template that says they should be, this service is applied to them.
If you don't want to apply this service to those devices, remove them
from the solaris-servers hostgroup _or_ remove the hostgroup_name line
in the service definition and specify the individual host_names that
the service _should_ apply to.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Nagios doesn't implement that type of logic. Some options that come to mind -- 1) Create a contact per status. contact1 that sends e-mails only does so for critical services; contact2 that sends pages only does so for warning services. 2) Have one contact but multiple notification commands (service_notification_commands service-notify-by-email,service-notify- by-pager). -by-email and -by-pager contain simple logic to only work for critical or warning respectively. 3) Create one contact with one notification command. That notification command contains the simple logic to send an e-mail or send a page depending on the notification type. 4) ... 5) Profit!

Hi,
I have some services defined, that are just interesting for some

Nagios expects this kind of notification granularity.
Now the problem is, that the notifications are not only send to the
contact
defined for this service, they are also send to the contacts
(contact_group)
defined for the host this service is defined for.
Nagios will not do this unless you specifically configure it to do so.
Nagios has been told that it should.
Are they service notifications or host notifications? Is there
anything else unusual about the notifications or their content? What
does nagios.log show related to these notifications?
The contact_group is defined for this host in the host-template.
define service{
contactscontact1
}
define host{
use example-template
host_name hostname.example.org
alias example host
address hostname.example.org
hostgroups example-hosts, check_zypper
}
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
Who are the host contacts? Please post the entire host and service
definitions, including the templates with the important bits. You
might want to grab the definitions from objects.cache.

Who are the host contacts? Please post the entire host and service
definitions, including the templates with the important bits. You
might want to grab the definitions from objects.cache.
Thanks for the hint with the objects.cache.
The contact_group is defined in the template for the service.
so a
define service {

contactscontact1
contact_groups
}
unsets the value and I hope it will work now.
Thanks for helping :)

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications to unknown user for services with disabled notify
Hello Marc,
thanks for your reply.
yes you are wright. My notify-commands are put in as event-handler for all
hosts and all services. I will just remove the event_handler line. I also set
event_handler_enabled to 0 and all should be fine.
Again, thank you

I turned off unreachable notifications, but nagios thinks that some of the children are in a down state while a couple of them say unreachable.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications if a servicegroup is down on more than 1 server
I'd probably write a check that doesn't send any notifications when an apache server is down, but that increments a counter in a file somewhere. Another service to monitor the file and alarm if over some number, in your case 2.

For misconfiguration issues:
Are the two machines synced to the same NTP server?
When do the alerts go out (wallclock time)?
What does Nagios think the time is by then?
Have you (stupid, yes I know) reloaded the configuration since you
modified it?
If you're using Nagios 3 with precached configuration, have you
regenerated the precache since you modified it?
For bughunting issues (assumes all of the above are yes or
inside the specified timeperiod):
Are you using escalations?
Are you using timeperiods with 'exclude' directive, excluding the
mentioned timeperiod (any timeperiod)?
Are you using timeperiods with exceptions (any timeperiod)?
If the misconfiguration checkup is ok, please send me your config
and I'll see what I can get out of it.

Am I doing somethign wrong? is there a way to keep these devices from sending notifications? Yes, that's by design. Changes made through the GUI/external commands intentionally override config file settings. There's no way to prevent that from happening that I am aware of short of disabling external commands entirely. If you don't use state retention, specifically retain_nonstatus_information, then a reload/restart of nagios will reset all values to their config defaults. If you do retain_nonstatus_information then nagios will remember the new setting even across restarts.

Thomas Sure. If you can afford a second monitoring server in a Thomas different location that will do it though... I.e. monitoring Thomas your monitoring server. This is a good idea anyway, and we have a Nagios install at our colocation facility monitoring our main facility, and vice versa. It makes good sense anyway. But I'm still using SMTP to an external service to send notifications. It usually works fine, but not always. (We have a service we sell sending text messages to several different providers for several hundred users for events (unrelated to Nagios) and on the order of 3-5 percent of these are bounced back from the SMTP service of the provider.

Re: [Nagios-users] notifications for downed services
Well, here's what I have in its entirety.
My services.cfg looks like this:
Generic services template
define service{
name generic-service;
active_checks_enabled 1;
obsess_over_service 1;
check_freshness 0;
notifications_enabled 1;
event_handler_enabled 1;
flap_detection_enabled 1;
retain_status_information 1;
retain_nonstatus_information 1;
register 0;
}
define service{
use generic-service
namebasic-service
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 15
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
notification_interval 20
notification_period 24x7
register0
}
define service{
use basic-service
name dns-service
check_command check_dns
max_check_attempts 10
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 20
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r
contact_groups localadmin
register 0
}
HOST01 ##
define service{
use dns-service
host_name host01
servicegroups mygroup
service_description DNS
contact_groups localadmin
}
So, to me, that looks correct. Host01's service check should inherit
everything through 'use dns-service' line.
checkcommands.cfg file for DNS:
# 'check_dns' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_dns
command_line$USER1$/check_dns -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
contactgroups.cfg:
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name localadmin
alias Site Administrator
members nagios
}
contacts.cfg:
define contact{
contact_name nagios
alias admin
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f
host_notification_options d,u,r,f
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
I believe the above should be correct since I have host and service to
be notified by email. Obviously I'm overlooking something. Marc, if you
meant something else by setting up the contact_group for services,
please let me know.
Thanks

windows services on the same box using NsClient++. It shows on the
same day that after it recovered the TrendMicro virus process was down

If so, that means nagios at least saw the service had a problem. If you
found out it was down by some other means, perhaps you can check the
nagios logs to make sure nagios saw a critical or warning problem
with the service.
Also, If you have log_notifications turned on, try examining the logs of
the timeperiod it was down. If you don't see any attempts to send a
notification for TrendMicro on lg03, then it's likely a configuration
problem somewhere.
Finding it is the hard part. :) The first places I would check are the
service_notification_period, service_notification_options, and
service_notification_commands for the contacts in the 'mis' group.
Follow the service_notification_commands to make sure the command it
points to is set up correctly as well. If there are no problems there,
I'd make sure there are no service escalations for that service.
If that doesn't help, I have no idea what the problem could be. :)
Good luck,

I found out via nagios. It said the duration was 6 hours for the
outage, and I couldn't match it up with any alerts that were sent to
my mailbox.
Thanks for the tips

Re: [Nagios-users] notifications 3.0b3 not working.
This problem has been solved. There was no issue at all with my config or setup. What I did was decided to move onto release 3.0b4 from 3. As soon as I started the service after the upgrade my service and host notifications came straight through. On another note. I really do appreciate those of you who read my email and replied trying to assist. This is what mailing lists are about. I do understand that a lot of the time you get people that do not do things themselves and expect all the answers for no work. I am not one of those people. I appreciate the apology Andreas thank you On the other hand, I am confused by Arno's reply. If you read my first and second and then third post you may have not rambled on in a totally unhelpful and I think embarrassing way. On the first point. I was not bitter at not getting any replies, you get that in this situation. I was actually a little annoyed at a post that suggested that I stop wasting everyone's time if I was not prepared to try things. I ended up getting an apology for that which I was grateful. I think that this will be my last post on this list, I have found that only two replies were in good faith, the remainder were.uncalled for. I think we should think to ourselves, if we have nothing good to say, don't reply. On that note I will take my own advice and go off to enjoy my notifications working. - Ken Lee (kenlee) --- This thread is located in the archive at this URL: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[showUid]=4896 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

While I can (kind of) understand your bitterness about not getting any replies yet, I think Andreas has made a good point here... Nagios 3 *IS* beta, and it is supposed to be used by people who will actively help getting it fixed. If you need a stable Nagios, use the 2.something versions. While I know that it's usually a good thing to prepare migration to a new version as early as possible, a complete switch to beta software in a production environment is surely not what I recommend to my customers. If you want reliable support, using Op5 would definitely be one of your options. I guess that you could agree on a contract where any sort of malfunctioning will make Op5 very busy fixing your issues...

Ach, soz. I wrote the first reply on a different computer and failed to see
that you actually had tried a few tricks on your own. My apologies.
Try this:
---%---%---%--- notify-to-file.sh ---%---%---%---
#!/bin/sh
outfile=/tmp/nagios-notify.log
echo $outfile
echo $@ $outfile
echo $outfile
env $outfile
echo $outfile
---%---%---%--- notify-to-file.sh ---%---%---%---
define command{

command_line /path/to/notify-to-file.sh cut and paste all nagios

}
define contact{
contact_name always_notified
aliasladida
service_notification_timeperiod 24x7
service_notification_options c,w,r,f

host_notification_timeperiod 24x7
contactgroups *
host_notification_commandsnotify-to-file
service_notification_commands notify-to-file
contact_email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
and see what happens. You may have to fiddle with the contact object a bit. I
wrote it from memory, and it's still a bit early in the morning for me.
