Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios newbie and some questions..

[Jorg . Schulz]

Hi Tom 

How long did you come with your configuration
?, if you are in the beginning i recommend to read the included Documents
that follows with the Nagios installation
or http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/

Nagios did not use a database like mysql
or others as "buildin". But there is a database support for mysql
or PostgreSQL.

The default method for storing status data,
comments, etc. in Nagios is (and probably will continue to be) in plain
old text files. The standard files used by the default external data routines
include the status
file, downtime
file, comment
file, and the state_retention
file. With the default install,
extended host and service information is not stored in its own file, but
in extended
host and service information definitions
in the CGI
configuration file. 

The configuration files are under ../nagios/etc
directory 
There are *-sample.cfg files under the
../nagios/etc directory - for hosts,services and so on take a look

I can also recommend a very good book
for you -- Nagios 2.0 Administration - (helps
me very much in my daily work)

Hope i could help you a little bit

regards 

/jörg

Sorry to reply to myself, but I forgot I didn't get the above plugins 
from nagiosexchange. I found them here:



They do have a Solaris section on nagiosexchange, however, along with 
tons of other useful items.

Good luck.

As long as your plugin complies with the Screen Output and Plugin Return
Codes (at the minimum) of
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN73,
check-by-ssh should pass the appropriate information back.

Can you run your command directly from ssh? i.e. ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"cscript //nologo c:\nrpe_nt\check_cpu.vbs -H testserver -w 80 -c 90"

Only by editing status.c (or other CGI you want to modify) where you
want to display the additional columns and recompiling.

You have Apache configured incorrectly.

[Nagios-users] Authentication problem (apache basic)

[Brad Clemmons Jr]

Ok, I know this is probably a problem with my configuration so I need new eyes to look at this. I have nagios configured and working WITHOUT AUTHENTICATION (use_authentication=0 in cgi.cfg). If I turn on authentication I don't even get a login prompt on the page for nagios. 
Here is my script alias stuff in httpd.conf with the auth parameters: ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /opt/nagios/sbin              AllowOverride None 
        Options +ExecCGI         Order allow,deny         Allow from all         AuthName "Nagios Access"         AuthType Basic         AuthUserFile /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users         Require valid-user 
       Alias /nagios /opt/nagios/share              Options None         AllowOverride None         Order allow,deny         Allow from all 
    The htpasswd.users file was created using the following command syntax: htpasswd -c /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users myusernameI made sure the correct user/groups could read the 
htpasswd.users file: chown root.apache /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users chmod 640 /opt/nagios/etc/htpasswd.usersIn my cgi.cfg I have use authentication=1
 and all commands below it I have the username I added (ie: authorized_for_system_information=myusername). At any rate, I get to my nagios main page without any request for login.  So at the top of the Tactical overview page I have this: 
 Tactical Monitoring Overview Last Updated: Tue May 30 13:25:34 EDT 2006 Updated every 90 seconds Nagios® - www.nagios.org Logged in as ?
Now, Once I click on one of the cgi pages like Service Details, I get the following message: It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the services you requested... 
If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file. 
I checked the apache error.log and there's nothing in there recently except the apache restart notices when I restart apache.

Any idea's as to why it never prompted me to log in? Also, this is on Apache 1.3 and Nagios 2.3.

[Nagios-users] SSH and Windows

[Goodburn, Laura]

Please forgive me as I am fairly new to Nagios and the world
of plugins. 

 

I have a Windows box that is running ssh and I would like to
connect via ssh, run a wmi vbs script, and pass the result back to Nagios. I
know that I can call the check_by_ssh plugin and pass the script name for the
command parameter but I don’t know how to pass the result back to the
check_by_ssh plugin.

 

When I ssh into the box and run the .vbs script for CPU by
executing the following command:

cscript //nologo c:\nrpe_nt\check_cpu.vbs -H testserver -w
80 -c 90

 

I get the following:

OK - Total CPU Utilization 2% |
'CPU_Utilization'=2%;80%;90%;;

 

However, if I try the following command:

./libexec/check_by_ssh –H testserver –C “cscript
//nologo c:\nrpe_nt\check_cpu.vbs -H testserver -w 80 -c 90”

 

I get nothing returned, the prompt just comes back like it
ran the script but returned no result.

 

Has anyone else ever written a custom plugin to pull the
result back in via ssh? For security concerns and traffic control, I would
prefer to use ssh instead of nrpe for running wmi scripts. Especially since we
are trying to make it so that the wmi scripts will only report the statistics
for that box instead of branching out to other Windows boxes on the subnet.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Laura

[Nagios-users] `make all` fails for 1.4.1

[Kurt Yoder]

Hi list

I am using a Debian stable server for Nagios. I have been using the  
Debian Nagios package (1.3), but after a glibc upgrade a few months  
ago Nagios started dying unexpectedly. I've tried a lot of things to  
fix it, but no luck so far. So I thought I'd try compiling from  
scratch to see if this fixes the problem.


I'm having problems with this compile. If I do `./configure` with no  
arguments, `make all` works fine. However, if I do `./configure -- 
with-pgsql-xdata`,  `make all` fails with strange errors. How do I  
get past this?


Here's the really long transcript of the compile/make. I added  
explicit paths to lib and inc due to the error "pgsql/libpq-fe.h: No  
such file or directory", but as you can see this didn't get rid of  
that error:

Re: Re(2): [Nagios-users] check_http Error on receive

I'm running Nagios 2.3 installed from the ports on FreeBSD 5.2.1, with the 
plugin collection version 1.4.3, also from ports.  The check_http version 
is 1.89.  I've been trying the check_http on a variety of sites, in all of 
them it is not working (google, a vanilla apache I installed to test, 
etc).

That is what is showing up on screen.  The command line I'm putting
 is

[Patrick Morris]

What's with all the stuff after the -v?  Have you tried without it?

Take a look at check_http -h.  It'll give you the correct syntax for the
plugin.

[Nagios-users] check_http Error on receive

[Dan Zieber]

Hi,



I'm having trouble with check_http, and my Google skills have failed.
  When I try to use it from the command line I get this:



odata1# ./check_http -H www.palomar.caltech.edu -p 8000 -v

GET / HTTP/1.0

User-Agent: check_http/1.89 (nagios-plugins 1.4.3)

Host: www.palomar.caltech.edu





Error on receive



but when I use telnet I get this:



odata1# telnet www.palomar.caltech.edu 8000

Trying 198.202.125.244...

Connected to bianca.palomar.caltech.edu.

Escape character is '^]'.

GET / HTTP/1.0

User-Agent: check_http/1.89 (nagios-plugins 1.4.3)

Host: www.palomar.caltech.edu





HTTP/1.0 200 OK

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Type: text/html

...etc



Any ideas?  Thank You,

Dan Zieber

[Nagios-users] Nagios newbie and some questions..

[Tom Tran]

Hello All,     I am very new to Nagios.  I just installed Nagios on my SuSE and it looks fine..  However,  i have some questions i would like to ask..     1.   Nagios does not use database; so, how they gonna store the data?  Config files?  2.   I would like to manage all the hosts in my network...  How can i do that?  where  can i find the documents?   I did a search and found a lot of stuffs and I still haven't got the guide i need.    Please help if you know what links?     Best regards,  Tom Tran"Max H." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  Max H. wrote:> check_snmp_disk.pl -- disk usage info> check_snmp_mem.pl -- memory info>

Chances are if you can poll devices with SNMP, then someone has already 
written the plugins necessary to process that data.


Check out:




check_snmp_disk.pl -- disk usage info
check_snmp_mem.pl  -- memory info
check_snmp_procs.pl -- processes info  and so on...

These kinds of plugins require a little more overhead for Nagios to 
process, but if you don't have a huge network to monitor it seems to 
work fine.


A lot of the plugins written to monitor these things are written in 
Perl, so you'll need Perl installed on the machine. An example of 
check_snmp_disk.pl in action would be:


In checkcommands.cfg:
# 'snmp_disk' Let's try to check for free space on remote disks
define command{
command_namesnmp_disk
command_line$USER1$/check_snmp_disk.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C 
public -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

}

You'll have to specify the services to correspond in services.cfg, but 
hopefully this will get you started in the right direction.


Also to note, you'll need to specify the partitions or disks in the SNMP 
configuration files on your remote hosts. I'm not sure what Solaris does 
for SNMP, but for example in RHEL, under /etc/snmpd.conf you have to 
specify the parameters that SNMP is allowed to report.


Hopefully this gets you started!

Re: [Nagios-users] Service Groups

[markham breitbach]

Yes, Nagios 1.x can also be setup to use service groups something like
this:
hostgroups.cfg
define
hostgroup{

hostgroup_name   
routers

alias
Routers for the Network

contact_groups   
pager-guys

members  
router1, router2, router3
}
services.cfg
define
service{

hostgroup_name
routers

use   
ping-template
}
You will then be able to manage all routers as a single group
and your config file becomes much more manageable.

[Nagios-users] Threads and counting them

[Tobias Klausmann]

Hi! 

I'm monitoring several processes that do not for but use threads.
Unfortunately, check_procs can be coerced into count threads
individually. While I could hack a shell script together using 
ps a -L, I'd rather use a stock plugin for this. Is there any way
to make check_procs count the threads? Or maybe anoither plugin
that can do what I need? A patch against check_procs would also
be nice, since I'm not very keen on hacking C myself (I know my
limits).

Regards,
Tobias

RE: [Nagios-users] service dependencies problem

[Deborah Martin]

One of your (many) definitions is : 

define servicedependency{
  host_name   sonorys_gateway
  service_description PING
  dependent_host_name sonorys_checkpoint
  dependent_service_description   PING
  notification_failure_criteria   c,u
  execution_failure_criteria  c,u

I don't think you can have dependency_service_description being the same as
the 'service_description' as it will just loop. 

In the nagios -v check, you should probably have also seen under 'Checking
service dependencies' an error 
along the lines of 'dependency definition for service '' on
host  is circular (it depends on itself'  

I've just tested this scenario and errors are the same as yours.

I also noticed the errors only occur when the dependent service is the same.
When different, there doesn't appear to be a problem. 

Test this! Remove all of the definitions so that you are only left with the
ones that match in both the service_description and the
dependent_service_description and run the nagios -v check again. You'll get
the 
same errors again. Then add one definition where the descriptions were
different. You'll see the difference.

RE: [Nagios-users] Re: Ping works but check_ping doesnt

[Oliver Marshall]

Used the same IP address in each test. Even copied the IP from the cfg
file to the ping command on the command line and vica versa. The machine
responds fine to pings, but Nagios shows that it's down.

Did you use the same hostaddress for both the manual ping and nagios 
check_ping? Especially using hostnames in stead of addresses can be a 
problem. And of cause one may make a small mistake by typing an address
into 
the config (me often ;-)

[Nagios-users] snmp traps

[Vinod]

Hi I tried to configure nagios to listen to snmp traps from a host.i have been referring to  documentshttp://www.samag.com/documents/s=9559/sam0503g/http://www.snmptt.org/docs/snmptt.shtml#Integration-with-other-softwarei am totally confused after trying both these documentsBoth have a different way to capture the snmp trapsOne uses snmptraphandling.py script and other uses submit_check_result.Secondlyhttp://www.samag.com/documents/s=9559/sam0503g/speicifes usepassive-check-templatebut its not mentioned how to define the passive-check-templateif i set check_periodnonenagios does not startWould appreciate ideas on configuring my monitoring server to receive snmp traps and which documents should i refer.RegardsVinod Moraes
