Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications by SMS

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

There are plenty of email-to-SMS providers out there.

www.textanywhere.net
www.aql.com

To name 2 that spring to mind (UK-based.)

They all use pretty much the same approach - send an e-mail to 
@.tld, and it'll relay the 
first 160 characters (or whatever the network allows) of the e-mail to 
the mobile device number.

I've used both AQL and TextAnywhere, TA has a slightly quicker response 
time than AQL on sent messages, and they invoice us on a monthly basis 
rather than having to pre-pay (like AQL, where we often ran into the 
problem of running out of credit, then messages don't get relayed.)

I'm sure there are some free providers that may do this too, but the 
paid ones often implement better solutions (like TA has a HTTP and SOAP 
protocol so you can POST a HTTP request in the correct format to 
generate a text message rather than using e-mail.)

HTH,

Andy.

NC_NEt should work on any Windows system that has Dot Net 2.0 installed.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE services for OS X servers

[Andy Moran]

macports (formerly darwinports) provides nagios and nrpe for OS X.

http://www.macports.org/

You don't have to install macports on your servers.. you can install  
it on a local mac, then do a
"port install nrpe".   This will install it into /opt/local .  You  
can then tar up that and distribute it as you wish, or make a pkg out  
of it as well.


Good luck.

Did you think about checking disk and CPU across SNMP?

You'd just need Perl installed to run the scripts from here. I'm not a
Mac OS X person, but I don't see why they wouldn't run.



I run several of these under Linux, but the author says they work on
Linux/Unix.

Just a suggestion.

Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval in serviceescalation ignored

[Rejo Zenger]

++ 22/02/07 17:35 +0100 - Sjaak Nabuurs:
>Looks like an performance issue, long timeouts on plugins.
>Can you track the check_execution_time and the check_latency when you

Generally, these seem to be allright. At any given time the service
check latency is about 3 to 10 seconds on average, the service check
execution time is on average less then 1 second. I don't believe these
are too high (375+ hosts, 1775+ services).

However after posting the previous post, I re-read the documentation for
the n'th time and I came across this particular line:

 | In any case where there are multiple valid escalation definitions 
 | for a particular notification, Nagios will choose the smallest 
 | notification interval.

And I believe this is exactly my problem. So, I rewrote the config and I
am now awaiting a live example (and if that takes too long, I will
create a long-lasting critical :)).

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?


It would require a new contact. The base assumption is that if a  
contact

is set to receive warnings, they receive warnings for all hosts and
services they are contacts for. There is no exception capability like
what you're looking for related to contact notifications.


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.


Nope. That's the usual solution. The other option is to build that  
logic

into your notification script.

Yes, if you can do it from the command line or via script then nagios
can do it as well. Seems like it would be pretty straightforward to do
with perl and Net::SNMP. Nagios doesn't include any 'restart' capability
by default because the number of variables is too significant. Nagios
_does_ provide an Event Handler interface to allow you to build that
functionality to suit.

"Configuration

There are two parameters you can change: the port (default: 1248) and
the password (default: 'None'). These two settings are store in the
registry and can only be changed using 'regedit'. Open the following key
and change the values if needed :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NSClient\Parms"

You could also use netstat -ab on your Windows machine to see what port

I monitor both of those (amongst many others) and get sensible results
back (SQL Server 2000 Standard on Windows Server 2003). The counter
definitions look the same, but I use check_nt/NSCLient which may or may
not matter. Can you query those counters on the server itself? I have
seen SQL Servers where the SQL performance counters would dip in and out
of existence in a worrying way.

[Nagios-users] $SERVICEOUTPUT$ problem

[Sandeep Narasimha Murthy]

Hi,

 

I a facing an issue with the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ variable. The problem only
occurs when I try to send a SMS Notification and when the
$SERVICEOUTPUT$ variable has data such as "(No output ...) or (Service
check timeout)". 

 

The problem here is with the char "(" because when my SMS script
received a message which contains "(" it fails.  

 

Can I alter these messages ? or is there any other alternative ?

 

thanks,

sg

[Nagios-users] How to check disk space, processes, etc. on remote host?

[patrickm]

Hello,

I saw on the Nagios Exchange that there is a NRPE plugin, but requires the nrpe 
to be installed on each remote host.  Is there a way to check this stuff via 
SNMP?  I'm still a little new to SNMP, but I'm learning as I read more.  Can I 
configure the SNMP daemon on each server (we have linux and AIX machines) to 
display these results so SNMP can pick it up?

What do you folks suggest?

Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval in serviceescalation ignored

[Sjaak Nabuurs]

Hello Rejo

Looks like an performance issue, long timeouts on plugins.
Can you track the check_execution_time and the check_latency when you 
have an escalation.
Any sugestion on performance : parralizing check's.
Monitor how much nagios processes on good and bad times are running.

[Nagios-users] monitoring sql counter files

[Rusty Hall]

Has anyone tried accessing the performance counter files for SQL Server 
2000 Enterprise on a Windows 2003 server. I am trying to access SQL Server 
counter files, but im running into issues with the following counters 
SQLServer:SQL Statistics Batch Requests/sec, I can access OS related counter 
files on this server.  No luck with any of the SQL Server Ones. I have added a 
few command that im trying to work with:
 
./check_nc_net -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\SQLServer:SQL 
Statistics\\Batch Requests/sec","Batch Request per sec is %.f%%"
./check_nc_net -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v COUNTER -l "\\SQLServer:General 
Statistics\\User Connections","User Connections %.f%%"
 
The result I get from the command is -1, which I know is wrong.  I have nagios 
2.5 on Redhat running with NC_NET for windows servers.

[Nagios-users] TCP/IP Port that NSClient 2.x uses

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there -

 

I have a Windows server running NSClient 2.1 on it. I recently activated a
firewall on the server and I need to allow an exception for the nsclient

in order for our Nagios 2.6 server to monitor the remote system. Does anyone
know what is the port number(s) that nsclient uses? Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE unable to read output

[Hari Sekhon]

no the server is RHEL4 (unfortunately, )

There is no jailing going on. All my nagios plugins, both normal and 
using sudo work via the nrpe on the remote server.


My only thought is that the plugin itself does not have a tty and that 
perhaps this is causing this specific plugin to fail

I have another sudo /etc/nagios/plugin and that works. Also, su-ing 
to nagios and then running the command by hand works.


so I'm still stuck

The queues you see in Exchange System Manager don't seem to be exactly
represented in the Windows performance counters so you can't directly
monitor the queues as seen in the Exchange Queue Viewer, which is a
shame since every internal Exchange metric seems to be exposed except
the ones that Exchange itself displays to you.

But I've just done some testing and found the opposite to your
experience. If I freeze an SMTP Connector queue in System Manager, the
Nagios check "Exchange SMTP remote queues"
(\\SMTP Server(_Total)\\Remote Queue Length) goes up in sync with the
number of messages held in the queue. If I freeze the Local Delivery
queue in System Manager, the Nagios check "Exchange SMTP local queues"
(\\SMTP Server(_Total)\\Local Queue Length) goes up in sync with the
number of messages held in the queue.
