Re: [Nagios-users] useful oracle checks
I just check_oracle --login dbnamesince this tells me if the server is reachable, if the login prompt is given correctly and if there are any problems, they are raised with the ORA- error message so at all time I know what the exact condition or error of the database is. -h Hari Sekhon Mestdagh Tommy wrote: Hi, I need to monitor an oracle database ( on debian ).

[Nagios-users] cgi.cfg
Dear list readers - I am somewhat new to nagios, but i have had a pretty good experience in building, installing, and configuring nagios to this point. I have built 2.7 on a Fedora Core 6 box - patched to the latest revs of all rpms. I am experiencing two issues, which i am having trouble getting around. The first issue, and probably the most concerning is that whenever i define the cgi.cfg in nagios.cfg and run nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg it fails complaining about the first unremarked line in the file - so, i remark that one out, and rerun the check and again it complains about the next unremarked line - this continues until the entire file is remarked out. Now i have checked and i dont define any of the items in the cgi.cfg anywhere else, and i dont define that file more than once. I am really confused why it keeps failing, and why i cannot define things like the authentication in the file (using the sample cgi.cfg to start with). The second issue is alerts, that i am not receiving from nagios. I need to look at this a little more closely, but after installing nagiosweb to make the configuration files a little easier for a jr admin to understand and configure - i havent gotten any alerts - and i DO have 1 system not pingable, etc, so i should be getting 'some' Anyway i would appreciate any thoughts on the cgi.cfg problem Thank you in advance Michael Weiner - Take Surveys.

Also, it will install a version which has embedded perl enabled - something you might find you don't want in the future. If you install from source tarball, it may take you a little longer than an rpm install, but you will learn more about Nagios while you do the install, and will find that if you want to try some of the various excellent add-ons for Nagios in the future, they are easier to get working if you have done a standard install from tarball. - Take Surveys.

Re: [Nagios-users] cgi.cfg
My guess is Nagios is trying to parse cgi.cfg as an object configuration file. IIRC, cgi.cfg should be in the same place as nagios.cfg, and NOT entered into the nagios.cfg as part of either a cfg_file or cfg_dir directive. As Jim said, it would help if you post the relevant portions of your nagios.cfg file. Andy.

[Nagios-users] Current state of database support?
Hello, Because of the implementation of other application in Nagios I was looking at support for databases. I see that database support for Nagios 2.0 has been dropped. When I search the web/forums etc I see some topics to address this issue, but they are all more then a year old and I don't know the current state of of this support.

Because of the amount of hosts en services my preferred option is to use some kind of database. So can some advice me how to proceed on this.

Re: [Nagios-users] useful oracle checks
I'm not sure how the tablespace check would work with auto-extending tablespaces if you use them. I'm curous about that myself. Anybody know? It doesn't work well. :) Because auto-extending tables tend to live n the edge of their available space, this check will almost always report the table is nearly full, making it pretty useless as an alerting tool. - Take Surveys.

I've got some SQL that I run as a cron job that takes into account the maximum possible size of the tablespace when it works out the fill percentage, I'll see if I can work it into the check_oracle script.

I'm trying (for various and sundry reasons) to submit what amounts to a no-op external command. As far as I can tell from http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php, there are no official no-ops. Is there any hazard in telling the system to enable notifications over and over again, that anyone is aware of? Or, failing that, have any better ideas for a no-op?
