[Nagios-users] publish scheduled host downtimes
Hi, I want to publish the scheduled host downtimes on our official homepage.

RE: [Nagios-users] Question about Linux Distros
We use Debian across the board - Debian is of course very much a philosophy as well as an OS. In my experience Red Hat tends to be bleeding edge and not very Posix or Standards compliant, although it will have all the latest software and packages. Debian tends to be slightly out of date in its packages and only tends to allow very very stable products into the distribution and the packages must follow very strict guidelines on where things are installed. Debian is frustrating at times because of its rather Nazi like policy, but at the same time I know if it's on Debian it is going to be rock solid, secure, and easy to maintain. Specific Pros (relating to Nagios): * Easy to install * Integrates easily with Apache with minimal effort * OS and security upgrades occur easily without disrupting nagios * Not bleeding edge * The Clean OS design makes it easy to figure out what is being monitored and the actual state when problems arise. Cons: * Not all the latest plugins - I only found this to be a problem in one case, with check_mysql. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sand Philipp Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 5:42 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: AW: [Nagios-users] Question about Linux Distros We run Nagios on Fedora Core 2 without any Problems so far...

Hello Philipp Sand Philipp wrote: I think I could be pretty interesting to monitor the rate of how much the diskspace increased in an interval x. You probably need some kind of database to store the previous values. It may be a plain binary file or a DBMS. Binary files being faster, I suggest you have a look at rrdtools which generates and manipulates RRD files. For example, you have a Disk X where all the Logfiles of my DB are stored. Normally there about 200MB Logfiles/day. Then suddenly there are 200MB/h... Has anyone written a pluginthe check something like this before? Any hints how to write a Plugin like that? I would wrap the 'check_whatever' plugin into a 'check_store_whatever' one that retrieves the state/perf data and store that into the RRD. 'check_store_xxx' would then check the rate you are looking for (computing the derivate of the last N values introduced) and adjust the the plugin output and its return code accordingly. With this solution, you would also be able to graph the disk usage.

Somehow, somewhere, sometime acknowledgement emails stopped sending the acknowledgemnt comment with it.I cannot figure out which place it is I need to put this back in. (Maybe this was a change during a nagios upgrade even). I'm just not certain. I've done a quick compare against the stock templates and my own, but I just don't see what I'm looking for.

I think I know what you are talking about. I have written my own
notification script that is called the following way:
[...]/mailer.py [...] -a $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ -s $SERVICESTATE$ [...]
I had discovered (I was using 2.0b2 in the first place) that sometimes
my script received no value for its -a argument so I had written
somewhere in the script the following quick fix:
# Nagios has a feature/bug that makes it send mails without the
PROBLEM or RECOVERY action
# flag. Hence the -a option comes with no argument, which
contradicts the check done below.
if parameters['-a'] is not None and len(parameters['-a'])==0 and
parameters['-s'] is not None and len(parameters['-s']):
if parameters['-s'][0] in ('CRITICAL','WARNING','DOWN'):
parameters['-a'].append('PROBLEM')
logfile.write('Guessing the -a PROBLEM argument \n')
elif parameters['-s'][0] in ('OK','UP'):
parameters['-a'].append('RECOVERY')
logfile.write('Guessing the -a RECOVERY argument \n')
I have never reviewed this code since I have upgraded to beta3 then
beta4 but it has always worked so far. I guess we should report this to
nagios-devel one day :)

I'd like to bring back this old issue again because with nagios-2.0rc1
it is still happening. There were some other troubles with the box too,
so i completely reinstalled it with CentOS 4.2 a while ago. Does anyone
have a clue what might be causing this? Hopefully it can be solved
before the release of 2.0 final.
If you need any additional info, please let me know.

Hi,
On a Fedora Core 3 system with the latest updates I compiled and
installed Nagios 2.0b4 and (last week) Nagios 2.0b5.
Everything seems
to work great, except for the cgi-scripts once in a while:
In about 3% of the requests (for any of the cgi's) they give an
internal server error. Running them from the command line
learned that
it's a bus error that's causing this, and it happens right
after the
status log is opened (strace output):
open(/opt/nagios/var/status.log, O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat64(4,
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=4578196, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4578196,
PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 4, 0) = 0xf6b99000
--- SIGBUS (Bus error) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGBUS +++
If you wonder why Nagios is in /opt, it's because i'm
migrating our
current Nagios master server from a Solaris server to a
Fedora server.
Does anybody have any idea what's causing this, and what
can be done
to prevent these errors?
Thanks in advance,
Hans
While I've not seen this error before, it may help to know
the options
you built nagios with, and the hardware type for the system(64bit,
ppc, x86 etc). I'm using the rpms supplied for nagios on a rhel4
machine, and I've had no such issues.
It's an x86 machine. Nagios was configured with:
--prefix=/opt/nagios --with-cgiurl=/cgi-bin/nagios
--with-htmurl=/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios
--with-nagios-group=nagios --with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib
--with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include --disable-statusmap
--disable-statuswrl
One piece of unrequested advice: Don't use fedora for
servers unless
you're okay with the REALLY fast paced upgrade system, and
migration
path. Instead I'd recommend something like the CentOS (
http://centos.org) project, which is a free rebuild of
rhel, with the
same life span rhel has.
Thanks for the advice. We are currently using 2 Linux distributions:
RHEL and Fedora, but we are looking into CentOS right now.
Cheers,
Hans

RE: [Nagios-users] Question about Linux Distros
Given the choice of running RHEL vs Fedora in an enterprise environment, I would choose RHEL, no contest. Any single release of Fedora won't be supported/maintained 12 months from now, whereas RHEL will recieve back-ported security updates for 5 years forward. For a recomended platform for an enterprise monitoring system, security, maintenance, and stability are main selling points. Fedora is a great, free, cutting edge, community supported distro. With Fedora, I'd be scared of it changing under my feet by the time I installed it. Are you backporting/self-compiling the latest security fixes, kernel patches, etc? Or is it worth $150 of your time to have engineers at RedHat do that for you for an entire year. I use Fedora on some of my desktop machines, but for servers I perfer RHEL for those reasons. From: Sand Philipp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] We run Nagios on Fedora Core 2 without any Problems so far... Why wouldn't you recommend it to run Nagios on Fedora? All 3 Linux distros you mention run Nagios equally well. The only difference being the Nagios packages, which are all 3rd party. If I had to vote, I'd put RHEL (not Fedora) 1st, Debian 2nd, and Suse 3rd. My bias towards RedHat is due to their enterprise-friendly Kickstart Installer (which is not necessarily nagios related) Debian probably has better repositories, but you're only installing once and leaving the repositories alone after that. Besides, you'll probably want to keep a copy of the packages that got installed, so in case of a disaster you can recover to the same version, which a repository won't always keep around. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Nagios-users] Service Clusters - how to suppress individual checks
I have a true service cluster of 3 machines. At any given moment, only 1 service is running. I have built a cluster monitor, and it works great. The problem is that for the cluster monitor to work, all 3 individual services (portmapper) need to be monitored. At any time, 2 of these are critical, but that is OK. I'd like to be able to suppress the *display* of the individual services and still allow the cluster monitor to function. A feeble attempt to insert a register 0 for the individual service caused the cluster monitor to report incorrectly. Is there a way to NOT display a service check on the GUI, but still have the check performed? --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Nagios-users] Setting Nagios db access password
Hi all!
I've realise that Nagios is not writting any data to Mysql db (called
'nagios').
I'm afraid I didn't notice the password when It was asked, and I think
it's the trouble...
Do you know how can I change Nagios password?
Not the user/admin, the one which is send to Mysql db to get it.
Thanks in advance...
