Click the 'Downtime" link in the left-side menu. It should be pretty
self-explanatory from there.

Re: [Nagios-users] Not getting notifications

[Janet Post]

Hello Mike,

One of the first problems I see is the use of the "register  0" in your
host and service definitions.  The "register 0" option is for when you
are defining a template to be used in a service or host definition.  No
checks are done on these services or hosts.

Remove the register 0 completely and it should (hopefully) work for you.

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for your note.  You are the second person to reply saying you have 
a master/slave type config with all the data pushed from master->slave. 
The main difference from my setup is that the data flows in mine the 
opposite direction.

Part of my problem is that my master (Central Nagios) does not have 
routing/firewall privileges into each and every slave (Distributed 
Nagios).  This makes things a a push from Distributed to Central, which I 
can always do, easier/more straight forward.

I'm still contemplating my eventual config and I'll post details when I'm 
"done."

Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios end-user interfaces

[Andy Shellam]

Hi Michael,

I'm the lead developer on the Nagios Looking Glass project, and I'm 
currently in the middle of a new website for the project, as well as 
co-ordinating development on the next major release, code-named "Padlock."

Feel free to suggest any features you would like to the NLG project 
tracker (http://arctic.mailnetwork.co.uk) and I can investigate how 
viable they are.  A full status-map such as the one in the Nagios CGIs 
will be very tricky, but I am planning some form of improved dashboard 
for Padlock, based on the use of host/service groups as defined in Nagios.

Regards,

Andy.

[Nagios-users] Nagios end-user interfaces

[Michael W. Lucas]

Hi,

I've searched through Nagiosexchange for options here, but wanted to
ask for input before installing and evaluating thirty different tools.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm running Nagios 2.9 on FreeBSD/amd64.

I need to offer Nagios information to end users without granting them
access to the CGIs.  Ideally, I don't want users to even know that the
CGIs exist.  The users need a bank of green/red lights and a network
map.

It appears that Nagios Looking Glass will handle the green and red
lights.  The network map is a little more complicated, but it appears
that I could use Dashboard
(http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Frontends.37.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=962)
to create a custom map without any further access, and offer a generic
user for that map.

Is this correct?  Are there better tools for this problem?

While Nagiosexchange is grand, it's hard to tell which tools are good
and which aren't...

Thanks for any shared experience,
==ml

I store my nagios config files in an svn repository with a dedicated nagios
main config file for each slave, telling it which config dirs to include.
After updating configs on the master server, the repository is commited.
Afterwards, i run a small shell script which connects to the nagios
slave servers,
updates the local replica of the repository and reloads the nagios daemon.

The only thing that has to be done once for every slave is the manual
change of
the rc-startscript to tell the daemon which config to use (master uses
nagios.cfg
including all config dirs, slave1 uses nagios-slaveserver1.cfg incl.
dir1-dirX etc.)

Hope this is worth mentioning it. ;-)

Regards,

Marcus Fleige

Re: [Nagios-users] Host/Ping check and Nagios performance.

[Wil Schultz]

check_ping is a pig :)

It's okay for services since they can run in parallel but host checks  
are serialized which can b0rk your whole system if many hosts go down  
at the same time.

A faster way to do this is to use check_icmp, which does 5 pings at  
the same time (concurrently) as opposed to 5 in a row (consecutive)  
like check_ping does.
An even faster check is using check_host as a symlink to check_icmp,  
which still sends the 5 concurrent pings but only requires one to be  
okay, which is great for hostchecks IMHO.

There is a slight security hit using check_icmp or check_host as you  
must SetUID it.

Read the docs, this is all from memory but should be correct, hope  
this helps!

Here is an example:
 
###
bash-3.1# time ./check_ping -H 192.168.22.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60%, 
100
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.31 ms

real0m4.009s
user0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
 
###
bash-3.1# time ./check_icmp -H 192.168.22.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60%, 
100
OK - 192.168.22.1: rta 0.225ms, lost 0%|rta=0.225ms; 
100.000;500.000;0; pl=0%;20;100;;

real0m0.004s
user0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
 
###
bash-3.1# time ./check_host -H 192.168.22.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60%, 
100
OK - 192.168.22.1 responds to ICMP. Packet 1, rta 0.666ms|pkt=1;;0;5

I haven't followed this thread too closely but it sounds like the negate
plugin might be useful. negate changes OK to CRITICAL and vice-versa.
You'll need two separate tests though. For example say normal was
between 4 and 7, critical above 7 or below 4.

check_mrtg -c 8 # CRITICAL if 8 or above, everything else is OK
negate check_mrtg -c 3 # CRITICAL if 3 or below everything else is OK

You cannot change it with Nagios 2 and its necessary behavior if you
perform host checks. The only alternative is to not perform host checks
at all but the you lose network outage detection, suppression of
multiple notifications of service on down hosts and some other things
that may or may not matter to you. The links below provide some
understanding and suggestions. We do not use host checks here at all.

9 of http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/tuning.html

Yes. So that it can determine host state and not notify for services if
the parent host is down. There is no setting to change that, so your
best bet is to use as lightweight a host check as possible.

Re: [Nagios-users] check_mrtg

[Israel Brewster]

To the best of my knowledge, all such plugins are designed to alert  
only when traffic exceeds a certain threshold, not when it drops  
below. I THINK MRTG itself has some built-in notification options  
that may be settable for when traffic drops below a threshold, and I  
wouldn't think it would be a terribly complicated matter to modify an  
existing plugin to alert for a floor threshold (assuming you know  
some basic programing at least), but I don't believe there are any  
existing plugins that have that functionality.

LoL, my brain suffered a buffer overrun and dumped the last 2 characters 
:-) all of my post refers to Nagiosgraph.

Sorry palleje, but the principals the same - check whether the translation 
can take place - don't know Nagiosgrapher but if it creates RRD files I'd 
check to see if any are being created for these services, and
switch on any debugging to its log files it has - tailing this whilst 
rerunning a check might return a few clues.

Again, apologies for the confusion.

Re: [Nagios-users] R: NSClient++ or NRPE

[Antonio Pereira]

The way I have set up is Nagios 2.7 on Linux and installed NSClient++ on 
windows servers. I am monitoring the windows servers using NSClient++.

 

Is this the best option? I want to make sure before I go any further in 
configuration. I am presently monitoring 2 windows servers.

[Nagios-users] Host/Ping check and Nagios performance.

[Jonathan Call]

Is there any reason why Nagios stops running all service checks while it
executes check-host-alive/ping on hosts? Can I change that? I cannot
find a setting to do it.

With the large number of service checks I'm running (1300+) whenever a
host goes down (or in some cases just stops answering ICMP) it kills
performance on the Nagios server.

[Nagios-users] NSClient++ or NRPE

[Antonio Pereira]

Hello,

 

I am trying to figure out which one is better to use and I am having a
difficult time to determine which is better. So I figured I would ask
all of you.

 

Which one is better NRPE or NSClient++?

 

Thanks

[Lalita Drolia]

I am trying to install nagios plugins on an HP_UX client but when I run
the make command it gives me the following error-

 

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:

   floorf (first referenced in check_swap.o) (code)

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 

Kindly help as I really need to get it fixed.

I agree with your analysis, it probably is just a matter of configuring
the graph tool to recognise the output. But the OP mentioned
NagiosGrapher and that's an example from a Nagiosgraph map file. Those
two letters in the name make all the difference. :)

I added a windows machine with NSClient++, I added the service Ping to 
both localhost and the windows machine, and the graphs are >showing up 
fine. But when I add Memory, procs, load service to the windows machine no 
graphs shows. How come it works with ping for both localhost and Windows 
machine? Even though I made sure that >the service_description is the same

Could be a number of things, but my top guesses would be:

1.  Performance data collection not ticked in the service definition 
for the extra NSClient++ services
2.  No regular expression in the map file to collect the data 
3.  No addition to serviceext info.cfg to display the icon/link to the 
graphs in the web interface

You could try to tail the perfdata.dat to see if anything is being written 
to check '1'
Copy the map file and edit it offline to check '2' - switching on 
debugging in nagios graph should return errors to its log along the lines 
of unrecognised data if you have no mappings
If there are RRD files being created, and there is no icon, check the 
serviceextinfo.cfg file

I'm betting its '2' though, here's an example from NSClient++ for Memory 
check graphing

# Service type: ntmem
#   check command:
#   output:
#   perfdata: 'physical memory'=63%;85;95;
/perfdata:.*memory'=([.0-9]+)%;([.0-9]+);([.0-9]+)/
and push @s, [ ntmem,
  [ memused, GAUGE, $1],
  [ memwarn, GAUGE, $2],
  [ memcrit, GAUGE, $3] ];

.. there isn't any performance data, the graph is drawn from the output - 
at least, this is how I did it. :-)

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 2.9 and Escalations.

[Steven Haigh]

A ­ Thanks Robert. I think it would be of great help if the wildcard
information was on the pages detailing service and host escalations! :)

Ok, I will give my understanding since nobody answers. When that's false 
somebody will certainly slap my head :-)

AFAIU, host escalation is only triggered by the "check-host-alive" 
command. So a serviceescalation definition must me defined for every 
service on every host.
