Yep. There's a (prob since I haven't used it) good one on CPAN in the
Nagios name space (search Nagios should find it) written by a Perl
luminary Al Tobey.
You need the Build module to get it installed.
There is also a rough-as-guts one that I use that is sometimes useful.
If you want to be the guinea pig ..
Here's an example of it in 'action'.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sh1517]$ perl -MNagios::Config -e
'$x=Nagios::Config->new("/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg"); @x=$x->grep("hosts",
q[$host_name =~ /mt[ab]sw21/i]); $x->pprint("hosts", [EMAIL PROTECTED])'
define host{
host_nameMTBSW210
address 10.0.254.149
alias14 MORT BUILDING
contact_groups
datacomms-admins,premier_support_group
notification_period 24x7
parents MTASW200,BRUSW200

}
define host{

alias16 MORT BUILDING
contact_groups
datacomms-admins,premier_support_group
notification_period 24x7
parents MTASW200,BRUSW200
use generic-host
}
extracting stuff.
I actually use it (for some definition of 'use') for batch adds. But it
is rough ...

[Nagios-users] check_mysql not using ~nagios/.my.cnf on ubuntu 6.0.6 with nagios 2.3.1
I am using nagios 2.3.1 with nagios-plugins-plugins-1.4.3 on an Ubuntu
6.06 server.
I am using check_mysql, compiled on this server against
libmysqlclient15, to check the status of mysql on two other servers.
I have created a .my.cnf file in ~nagios, and when I run check_mysql -H
from the command line as the nagios user all goes well.
However, when I automate this in my checkcommands.cfg, I get errors and
nagios tells me the server is down.
~nagios/.my.cnf has looks like this:
[client]
password = ""
The block in checkcommands.cfg looks like this:
# check_mysql command definition.
define command{
command_namecheck_mysql
command_line$USER1$/check_mysql -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
When I run check_mysql from the commandline against the host, I get
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~nagios/$ check_mysql -H mysql-server
Uptime: 426469 Threads: 2 Questions: 18075 Slow queries: 0 Opens: 0
Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 64 Queries per second avg: 0.042
But when I do it automatically via checkcommands.cfg, i get
Access denied for user 'nagios'@'monitor-server.voipwa.net.au' (using
password: NO)
If I add the -p to the checkcommands.cfg, everything works.
The user has been added and has sufficient privileges on the mysql
server to get a database connection, so everything should be ok there.
nagios is running as the user nagios (checked with ps), so that should
be ok.
I was under the impression that check_mysql should use the
~nagios/.my.cnf file for its login information, is this not the case?

[Nagios-users] check_http ssl certificate
Hi all- A web server was recently upgraded, and my check_http --ssl service is now failing. The server is sending a certificate when accessing through a browser. How can I accept the certificate; either permanently through the nagios user cmd line, or through flags to check_http? 'check_http --ssl H xyzxyz -C 14' works fine to see the expiration... I did read a recent thread that suggested the servers http config be changed, but I don't have access/approval to change the server config. Thanks for reading!

[Nagios-users] NRPE SSL connection errors
I have two servers I am monitoring with NRPE 2.0. One works, one does not and I'm running out of ideas of configuration settings that must not be the same to have this happen:[EMAIL PROTECTED] # ./check_nrpe -H servera -c check_apacheOK - 12 processes running with UID = 155 (apache)[EMAIL PROTECTED] # ./check_nrpe -H serverb -c check_apacheCHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.nagioshost, servera and serverb are all Solaris 9.nagioshost is running nagios 1.2, check_nrpe 2.0I have confirmed with ldd that NRPE is compiled with SSL support.servera & serverb both have copies of the same NRPE 2.0 binary.servera & serverb both have the SSL libraries that the NRPE binary was compiled againstservera & serverb both have /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg owned by nagios:nagios and chmod'd 644servera & serverb both have "nrpe 5666/tcp #NRPE" in /etc/servicesservera & serverb both have "*.nrpe *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN" in netstat -a|grep nrpeservera & serverb both have "nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/sfw/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i" in /etc/inetd.confHere's the difference:if I telnet from nagioshost to servera on port 5666 (from nrpe.cfg) I can count to 20 and when I enter some text followed by enter, servera closes the connectionif I telnet from nagioshost to serverb on port 5666 (from nrpe.cfg) I can only count to 5 before serverb closes the connection. if I repeat the task from nagioshost to serverb and start typing as soon as prompted serverb will close the connection in the middle of typing. So i think what is happening is that the connection is closing before the SSL handshake is completed or the NRPE handoff to a local command. How do I figure out what in serverb is closing the connection so fast? Scott Lundgren ITS - Web Services UNC at Charlotte http://www.uncc.edu

[Nagios-users] status.dat on /tmp causes status.cgi issues
Hi, Nagios 2.0b5 on Solaris 10. I've been running this setup for some time and just recently started seeing "Internal Server Error" on page refreshes from Firefox, with Apache reporting "Premature end of script headers". The only changes recently are that I increased the host and service checks significantly (up to 250 and 5200 respectively) and I moved status.dat from a UFS file system to /tmp (tmpfs) per the performance page tip #2 on using RAM-based filesystem for it. I searched the mailing list archives and turned on debug level logging in Apache but it doesn't report any more. If I run status.cgi from command line, it dumps core for a seg fault as shown below. I tried the status.cgi from 2.3 with the same results. If I move status.dat back to disk, the CGI errors stop, but I still get a seg fault running from command line.

[Nagios-users] Ping works but check_ping doesnt
I have a server, which is running on the local network with Nagios. I
can ping it from the nagios box at the ssh prompt, but the
check-host-alive for that server is showing it as down. All the other
local servers are fine.
My check-host-alive command reads;
define command {
command_namecheck-host-alive
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
}
On the Host detail screen on the nagios web interface, it says that the
host status is "DOWN" and the host output is "No Output".
Any ideas why I would be able to ping a box from the nagios server, but
not get a positive result from the check-host-alive test ?

No. I think the easiest way is to write a wrapper that writes each script iteration to disk so it can always compare each iteration with the previous one.

[Nagios-users] Checks that compare previous values
Is there some way to make checks compare the value they've retrieved against the previous value of that service? Specifically, I would like to be able to alert on excessive throughput on some switchports. The obvious way to do this is check the inOctets every minute and compare the value just retrieved against the last value; if that *8/60 is more than a certain amount then we need to alarm. A rough timeline would be: 000 seconds: Check; gets 150. No previous value - ignore completely. 060 seconds: Check; gets 300. Total bytes passed in the last minute = 150. OK. 120 seconds: Check; gets 300. Total bytes passed in the last minute = too many. WARNING. Is there any functionality in Nagios that would make this sort of thing easy, or do I need to write a wrapper of some description for this?

[Nagios-users] Checking host alive and NSClient++
Hi, I have a server at a remote site which uses a router that WONT allow forwarding of ICMP (aka ping) traffic to the server. As a result, the check-host-alive command for that server currently actually shows the state of the router, not the server itself. This isn't good for me as the adsl line they use is up and down like a yo-yo. Is there a command I can create using NSClient++ that will check to see the state of the host WITHOUT pinging, perhaps instead using a check of the NSClient++ itself.

[Nagios-users] nrpe sockect timeouts
HI All, When some of my hosts get a little busy (load 4+) I get loads of socket timeouts. Is the level of SSL (AES-something) I am using too high? Does the nrpe daemon need to be niced to get it some CPU? Or do people use xinetd? Each host runs about 10 local, nrpe checks every 5 mins or so. Extending the socket timeout on check_nrpe can be done globally on the nagios server, but this seems a kludge as 10secs should be more than enough to get a connection. Any thoughts?
