And just what DO you see happening in the ligs? Keep in mind that nagios is not intended as host monitor but service monitor. If you want a check on host make it a pseudo service on the host.

[Nagios-users] Need documention for hosts configuration
hi, i'm glad to getting nagios 2.5 working with nrpe too. Now i'am writing a howto on a german wiki. My problem is, that the documention from nagios (html 2.x on the website) is poorly written, meaning it has a bad structure and i need much time to find, what i searching for. So, to let me and my readers understand, what for options are possible in the "hosts config", like in the minimal.cfg i want to write it down, on examples. Most things are selfexplained but, some not. Can somebody write a few lines, about the following lines, or show me the right part from the offi. docu. on the nagios website? max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 120 notification_optionsd,r is_volatile 0 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval1 contact_groups admins notification_optionsw,u,c,r notification_interval 960 check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60% on these last line, i don't know, where i have o set a "!" for example from the dns_check: ./check_dns -H heise.de -s 192.168.1.1 DNS OK: 0.018 seconds response time. heise.de returns 193.99.144.80|time=0.017630s;;;0.00 so looks the line from the bash, but i wrote something as command and expecting, that it is wrong: define command{ command_name check-resolv-dns command_line$USER1$/check_dns -H www.heise.de -s $HOSTADDRESS$ } define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name win2k3 service_description DNS_resolv is_volatile 0 check_period24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 2 retry_check_interval1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_optionsw,u,c,r check_command check_dns!heise.de } i know, i have had it hardcoded, but check_dns resolv the address from the yahoo server, not heise.de ...

[Nagios-users] not receiving the nagios notifications
Hi All I have a nagios 2.4 here, I already insert some hosts to it monitor. But when a host goes down, the nagios system do not send me the notifications by email. I think all my confs files are just ok. I don´t have a clue for what is happening. Here is the way I configured it: The hosts.cfg file: define host{ host_name teste.xxx..br alias Test Machine address 200.xxx.xx.xx check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 2 checks_enabled 1 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_interval 1 process_perf_data 0 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information1 notification_interval 15 contact_groups suporte-local notification_period 24x7 notification_optionsd,u,r notifications_enabled 1 stalking_optionso,d,u } Ok, notifications_enabled 1 So the contat group that it had to send the emails: cat contactgroups.cfg define contactgroup{ contactgroup_name suporte-local alias suporte members felipe } In this case, just me, Felipe, so I put my email in the contacts.cfg file define contact{ contact_namefelipe alias Felipe Tocchetto host_notification_period24x7 service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_options d,u,r,n service_notification_optionsw,u,c,r,n host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email service_notification_commands notify-by-email email [EMAIL PROTECTED] } The host-notify-by-email e notify-by-email commands, in miscconmands.cfg: # 'host-notify-by-email' command definition define command{ command_namehost-notify-by-email command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\ nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "Host $HOS TSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$ } # 'notify-by-email' command definition define command{ command_namenotify-by-email command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVI CEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\ n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTE MAIL$ } When I type mannualy the commands, a receive the email from the nagios Machine...

Re: [Nagios-users] Sugguestion/Question?
Dear Harper and All, Thank you very much for you explanation. I am totally clear and I have no problem with that at all. However, don't you think it's better this way. Supposed you are the network admin, sitting in front of huge monitor and managing a status map of your entire network which has about 200 critical servers... if all the servers are up and running.. So, they are all green. How do you know which one has a problem like Running out of disk space or exchange process has just stopped? If you can propagate, when the exchange process stopped, it goes to critical status.. this child service will propagrate to the parent node... and the network admin will see.. Oh.. something is wrong with node xyz. because it's RED.. so let me drill down that node to see what's going on? Best regards, Tom Tran, PS: The statements above is CONSTRUCTIVE suggestion.

Hello Ted, I am sorry but I thought Mr/Ms Deborad has the same problem.. that's why I did tag along. Best regards, Tom TranTedman Eng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: First off, please do not REPLY to a message if you're not replying to that message. Post a NEW message. Secondly, Nagios' design separates Hosts from Services. Nagios does not actively monitor hosts. Yes, it checks hosts, but it does not monitor them. What's the difference? Think of hosts as points or intersections along a road, services as being houses along the side of these roads. Nagios only monitors houses (services). If for some reason it cannot reach a house, it checks to see if there is a problem in the road (host) preventing it from getting to the house (service), and reports these findings to you. If you want Nagios to work like CA's product, that can be done as well, but you'll lose ther ability to determine where along the roadway is the problem. To do this, use check_cluster for your check-host-alive. -Original Message-From: Tom Tran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 10:02 AMTo: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.netSubject: [Nagios-users] Sugguestion/Question?

Besides the previous suggestion of grepping the IP out of your configs, you may have multiple copies of nagios running. An old one may be running with an old config in which you had specified the IP as .29.

Hi, I'm running Suse 9.1 with Nagios 2.0b4 I have a service alerting as Critical which I then acknowledged. Notifications were then supressed. However, I had to restart Nagios sometime later after adding some further services/hosts and it seems that the acknowledgement still remains across the restart but the notifications have started again. Is this expected behaviour ? I've trawled through the docs and archives but cannot find a definitive answer so any advice would be appreciated. thanks, deborah This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: [Nagios-users] Sugguestion/Question?
i think my post has gotten mixed up with this one! -Original Message-From: Tedman Eng [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: 20 July 2006 22:08To: 'Tom Tran'; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.netSubject: Re: [Nagios-users] Sugguestion/Question? First off, please do not REPLY to a message if you're not replying to that message. Post a NEW message. Secondly, Nagios' design separates Hosts from Services. Nagios does not actively monitor hosts. Yes, it checks hosts, but it does not monitor them. What's the difference? Think of hosts as points or intersections along a road, services as being houses along the side of these roads. Nagios only monitors houses (services). If for some reason it cannot reach a house, it checks to see if there is a problem in the road (host) preventing it from getting to the house (service), and reports these findings to you. If you want Nagios to work like CA's product, that can be done as well, but you'll lose ther ability to determine where along the roadway is the problem. To do this, use check_cluster for your check-host-alive. -Original Message-From: Tom Tran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 10:02 AMTo: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.netSubject: [Nagios-users] Sugguestion/Question? Re: Notifications and acknowledgements Dear All, I am a newbie with Nagios but long time user of Enterprise Management (CA Unicenter in particular)... Here is my suggestion (not sure If i implemented correctly...) or it has been designed this way. Suppose I am monitoring a Server which I am trying to monitoring the following: Ping, disk space, Load... And i set the threshold for my disk space.. and the disk space exceeds my critical threshold; therefore, the status for my Disk Space Watcher is Red (Critical)... According to what i see right now.. the status for the whole server is GREEN.. I am not sure it is supposed to be green? Isn't it supposed to be RED because of the propagation from a child level? Hope my explanation is clear enough. Best regards, Tom Tran EESImed.

Your Oracle check is probably using an address from a tnsnames.ora file, which is apparently correct. Either your DNS, or the address in your Nagios config, is probably not, causing the other checks to fail. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
