Re: [Nagios-users] Using Nagios to restart a Power Strip, Switch, Router, etc. via SNMP
Ofcourse it iswhile the consequence sound a little scary too. Think about it.ur intention is to have nagios trigger an request if a condition is met. The intention can be satisfied over SNMP With the trigger being called when a plugin check is performed Nagios per say may not be equipped with the capability to perform a whole lot of business process checks towards concluding whether the applications really down. It will be able to ping for resources using standard/custom plugins and verify the availability/lack of it using its existing framework. Hence...while you due to lack of accessibility to a switch for some reason your plugin may decide based on your coded business rules that its unreachable and send an snmp request to reset the device. In turn what you have actually done is...during a moment of large n/w traffic not been able to reach the switch and as a result sent a request to reset the switch which i would recieve and probable reset it once the instantaenous peak is done with. Am unsure if i have been able to relate to you in the right manner. But since nagios doesnt have a rule engine it might be best to let nagios do what it does best and have it integrate with a rule engine which takes care of all of your other misc requests over snmp. Hope this helped.

Re: [Nagios-users] Contact definitions and multiple email addresses?
Oh yech. I'll pass on that.
how about this one:
Is it possible to have a contact receive critical messages for all
services but warning messages ONLY for a particular service?
For example:
All services are set to notify on warning, critical, unknown, and
recovery..Admins want to be only notified when any service goes
critical.. but they are also interested when a certain volume
check_disk goes into warning.
The only way I can figure out how to do that is to create a separate
contact definition for each admin (like jdoe2), put them in a group,
and say that group also wants warnings, and put that group in the
check_disk service definition instead of the normal admin group.
I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious.

Nagios doesn't care. As far as it's concerned, it's just a string of

string. The real question is, can your notification program handle
them

not, at
least not as a comma separated list. To use /bin/mail you'd either
need
to set your notification command to a script that parsed the multiple

[Nagios-users] Problems with passing on service check information
I am trying to follow the instructions to use a centralized server in the Nagios documentation, with one major change - instead of reporting all errors to a central server and having it do the notifications, I want the individual servers to do their own notification, and also send copies of service check results to a central, read-only server, at the moment called bigboard. Does anyone know what happens if you try and use send_nsca to communicate to a machine running two separate nagios instances?

Re: [Nagios-users] Sending a txt message as acknowledgement for event
Patrick ~ I just set this up myself, so I'll share some of the details on how I got it working. First off you'll need a way for the email's to reach the nagios inbox. In our example I setup fetchmail on our CentOS box to check Exchange every 15 seconds for mail using POP3. once you have that configured and mail is going into the inbox on your linux machine for the nagios account, you'll need to configure procmail. Now if your on a redhat system (or flavor) procmail is setup by default. (Otherwise you may need to install/configure) So you'll need to setup a .procmailrc file in the nagios users home directory (or place a procmailrc file in /etc). Procmail should be setup to kick off a script (that you'll need to write) to process the incoming mail and if a problem is acknowledged, place an acknowledgment in the nagios.cmd file. Like I said, the first process in fixing this puzzle is getting mail to the nagios server from an SMS device. Once there it should be pretty straight forward. Let me know if this makes sense.

That's a pretty straightforward TAFO or RTFM question but yes, a host
can be in any number of hostgroups.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host -
"hostgroups:This directive is used to identify the short name(s) of
the hostgroup(s) that the host belongs to. Multiple hostgroups should
are seperated by commas. This directive may be used as an alternative to
(or in addition to) using the members directive in hostgroup
definitions."
You can also specify the host in each hostgroup{}'s members directive.

[Nagios-users] two sets of host groups
Is it possible to have hosts in two sets of groups? Currently I've divided hosts by hostgroup names associated with their physical location. But it would be quite useful to have hostgroups based on operating systems. Anyone have a way to accomplish this allow "multiple views"? TIA - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

C1 isn't authorized to see all hosts in the hostgroup object so none are displayed. I've hit up against this a couple times in the past. It's understandable, but not necessarily desirable. I haven't delved too deeply into it but my thoughts are that the view permission logic is object based. Either you have permission to view all elements of that object or you don't. For most objects that's just fine but for hostgroups and servicegroups it would be more desirable for those sub-elements that you do have permission for to be displayed and ignore those elements that you don't.

This would be redundant. You've enabled it as part of your
config above. Not harmful though as you've told Apache to completely
ignore .htaccess in that directory with the 'AllowOverride None'
directive above.

That's good that you get prompted and then allowed in. Who does nagios
show you Logged in as? Is it what you expect?

So far, it sounds like the answer is no.

Is the username you are logged in as listed as a contact for any hosts
or services? It must be or you must grant global permissions via the
authorized_for_* directives in cgi.cfg. Nagios simply looks at the
REMOTE_USER environment variable set by Apache after you log in and
matches that against defined contacts{} to determine what to show. If
there is no match then the behavior you're seeing is the result.

I do not see a need to keep the log data for more than six weeks in the SQL tables; these are separate from the log files on the Nagios server. Note that there is no cleanup of the Nagios logs (as far as I am aware), so these need to be cleared out every so often as well. I have a separate script which compresses all log files except the last six and only keeps 190 files (about 6 months of data) in the log archives directory.

Re: [Nagios-users] Sending a txt message as acknowledgement for event
patrickm wrote: > Is it possible to reply to a txt message that is sent from the nagios server > as acknowledgement when an event occurs, like an unreachable server or other > events? The short answer is, yes. The long answer is, it depends on how you sent the SMS in the first place. If you are using some cheapy internet-based solution, then I doubt they have any return path feature. If you are sending via GSM modems, then yes. We do this now and have been for 2 years. If you have a direct link into a carriers' SMSC, then it will depend on their solution. We are looking to move this way in the near future, and our carrier has a return path solution. The guts of the solution is just code that parses the SMS back and hands it off to Nagios using the external command features. In our case, we reply/forward the entire SMS as-is back to sending device, which can easily parse the SMS given we know the exact format it left in anyhow. Plus, the same system handles other inbound and outbound SMSs with ease. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
