Re: [Nagios-users] MRTG problem

[Cyrille Bollu]

MRTG has a so-called "threshold checking" functionality where it can call 
an external program when a monitored value crosses arbitrary boundaries 
(see http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-reference.en.html). Such a 
program might well sends passive check results to Nagios (see 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/passivechecks.html) so that it can 
handle the notification part.

However, that's all that I'm aware of about integrating those 2 products 
together; Which I find too limited. For beter integration, I would suggest 
you to use something like Nagiosgrapher together with the check_snmp 
nagios plugin. In such a scenario, Nagios does the SNMP monitoring using 
the check_snmp plugin then sends performance data (see 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/perfdata.html) that Nagiosgrapher 
stores in rrd files. In addition, Nagiosgrapher adds links in the Nagios 
interface to rrd graphs (see demo here http://nagios-demo.netways.de/ - 
use guest as login and passwd)

Here in my company we set up Nagios & MRTG about 2 years ago and are now 
moving to Nagiosgrapher because of this bad integration.

HTH,

Cyrille

Re: [Nagios-users] RE : [SPAM?] RE: RE : Sybase check on windows servers

[Lalita Drolia]

Hi,

Your last mail helped me to clear my concepts. Thank you :-)

I am trying check_nt from the command line now, with the instructions
you gave.

But I am getting the error "Connection refused. Could not fetch
information from server."

Unable to fix that.

Please help.

Hi,

This mean that there is a problem with the execution of your control.
Did you try to run the command as you defined it in a shell prompt ?

I think there is an error here in your definition. Addording to your
service definition, you will run :
$USER1$/check_nt -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l 0 SYBSQL_ganges
If you run this, you will get a "Segmentation fault". You lack the name
of the requested host (-H flag) and the syntax of the -l flag is wrong.
A check_nt -h says :

 SERVICESTATE =
  Check the state of one or several services.
  Request a -l parameters with the following syntax:
  -l ,,,...
  You can specify -d SHOWALL in case you want to see working services
  in the returned string.

Your command should be something like :
$USER1$/check_nt -H ganges -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l SYBSQL_ganges

You should test it in a shell prompt until you get the expected result,
and then write it in your configuration file. To get the IP address of
the host, you can use the macro $HOSTADDRESS$.

Florent

You can use Service dependencies to accomodate this scenario.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html

You'd want to add the intermediate router to your 3rd party hosted Nagios 
and then make the target routers dependent on the intermediate.

Or, you could bump up the RTT requirements to the target routers and treat 
the network in between as a slow black box.

Also, check out Smokeping:

See the Service Dependencies section of the docs.  It sounds like you
want the remote checks to be dependent on the local ones, and not notify
if the local service is in a warning state.  The examples at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html should give you
a pretty good idea how to do that.

[Nagios-users] monitoring remote routers on different networks

[reed]

I am using nagios 2.9 and monitoring round trip average and packet loss 
using check_ping plugin. I have multiple networks in different physical 
locations.

On one of my nagios servers hosted by a third party, the monitoring often 
alerts me about bad RTA or lots of packet loss for these multiple routers 
at same time.

It appears that the problem is the local network and not the remote 
routers.

How can I add a conditional type configurations so I don't get an alert if 
the multiple remote routers all have same problem at same time?

Or should I check the third-party's local routers also?

Any configuration examples of making it so I don't get alerts for my 
remote routers if the local network has RTA or packet loss problems would 
be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You might try closing the "!" in the service definition and putting
double quotes around the $ARGn$ parameters in the command file.

Jerad,

No entirely, because you feed the arguments to the actual command with
$ARGn$

So in de service definition: 

check_http!site.com!5!admin:password

And the command_line format in command definition (probably
in: /etc/nagios-plugins/config/http.cfg) should be:

command_line/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H $ARG1$ -t $ARG2$
-a 
$ARG3$

Be carefull with that "-t 5" btw. That is a very low value to timeout.

Hope it helps.

Gerard.

The groundwork support lists are probably going to be your best bet but
for a normal nagios installation, you simply need to copy over the
comment log file (comment_file in nagios.cfg), nagios log (log_file in
nagios.cfg) and the contents of the archive directory (log_archive_path
in nagios.cfg).

This mean that there is a problem with the execution of your control. Did you 
try to run the command as you defined it in a shell prompt ?

I think there is an error here in your definition. Addording to your service 
definition, you will run :
$USER1$/check_nt -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l 0 SYBSQL_ganges
If you run this, you will get a "Segmentation fault". You lack the name of the 
requested host (-H flag) and the syntax of the -l flag is wrong. A check_nt -h 
says :

 SERVICESTATE =
  Check the state of one or several services.
  Request a -l parameters with the following syntax:
  -l ,,,...
  You can specify -d SHOWALL in case you want to see working services
  in the returned string.

Your command should be something like :
$USER1$/check_nt -H ganges -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL -l SYBSQL_ganges

You should test it in a shell prompt until you get the expected result, and 
then write it in your configuration file. To get the IP address of the host, 
you can use the macro $HOSTADDRESS$.

Florent

Florent,

Thank you so much for being patient with me. I tried what you said. But
unfortunately I am still getting the error "return code of 139 is out of
bounds".

Here is my configuration-

 

Hostgroups.cfg-

 

define hostgroup{

hostgroup_namesybasetest

alias Sybase Servers Test

members   ganges,nila

 }

 

Commands.cfg-

 

define command{

command_namecheck_sybase

command_line   $USER1$/check_nt -v SERVICESTATE -d SHOWALL
-l $ARG1$ $ARG2$

}

 

Services.cfg-

 

define service{

use local-service

hostgroup_name  sybasetest

service_description  Sybase

check_command check_sybase!0!SYBSQL_$HOSTNAME$

 }

 

Kindly help.

 

Regards,

Lalita

Here is a small test I done to validate that using HOSTNAME in serice
definition is OK.
You can adapt this exemple with your real commands.

I use the dummy check to verify if the hostname is well read by the
command. This plugin take in first argument the return value, and in
second the status message.
I have two hosts, host1 and host2, and a hostgroup containing the two
hosts.
I then define the service on the hostgroup.
I use the $HOSTNAME$ macro in service definition to specify parameters.

  # Command definition
 
  # 'check_dummy' command definition
  define command{
  command_namecheck_dummy

  define host{
  use linux-server

  define host{

  host_name   host2
  alias   Host2
  address 127.0.0.1
  }

  ##
  # Hostgroup definition

  define hostgroup{
  hostgroup_name  Sybase  ; The name of the hostgroup
  alias   Sybase servers  ; Long name of the group
  members host1,host2 ; Comma separated list of
hosts that belong to this group
  }

  define service{

specify here the hostgroup
  service_description Sybase
  check_command

  }


In nagios console, I then have :

Re: [Nagios-users] RE : [SPAM?] RE: RE : Sybase check on windows servers

[Lalita Drolia]

I am using nagios2.9 and Nagios plugins 1.4.9.

I have made a hostgroup for Sybase servers of the sort-

define hostgroup{

hostgroup_name  sybase

alias   Sybase Servers

members machine1,machine2,machine3,machine4,machine5

}

 

Now I want to know if its possible to define a single service for all
these machines as the service name differs in each server because it is-

Sybsql-machine1,sybsql_machine2,sybsql_machine3 etc.

 

Can you please also provide me help on command definition and service
definition for Sybase check on linux machines.

 

With a million thanks :-)

 

Lalita

It's certainly a problem in the command definition. Did you try to run
it in command line to check if it's correct ?
Can you send us more information about your definitions, and the
versions of Nagios and the plugin you are using ?

Florent
