Looks to me like you might have been referencing the 1.0 documentation
($OUTPUT$ is a 1.x only macro). The 2.0 documentation on Distributed
Monitoring uses the correct macros.

[Nagios-users] Need help setting up NODUtils with Postgres

[Yana Millis]

Hello!
I've grabbed the postgres version of NDOUtils from nagios exchange
(http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Utilities.16.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp_view%5D=1131)
I've no idea whether this stuff is stable but I thought I'd giv it a
go, and when
trying to run ./configure, I keep getting the following error:
. . .
MySQL library and include file(s) were found!
checking for PQconnectdb in -lpq... yes
checking libpq-fe.h usability... no
checking libpq-fe.h presence... no
checking for libpq-fe.h... no

*** PostgreSQL include file could not be located... 

You chose to compile NDBXT with PostgreSQL support, but I was unable
to locate  on your system.  If the include file is
installed, use the --with-pgsql-inc argument to specify the location
of the PostgreSQL include file.



I've also tried to configure it, as suggested, with
 ./configure --with-pgsql-inc=/usr/include
and ensured that libpq-fe.h is indeed in /usr/include,
and its permissions are rwxrwxrwx,
but I still keep getting the PostgreSQL include file could not be
located error (???)...which is really weird...
Does anyone have any suggestions for me ?

Thank you,

--yana

[Nagios-users] submit_check_result always critical

[Robert Gil]

I am setting up a distributed nagios environment for the first time and
have come into a couple road blocks.

 

For some reason the passive checks always come back as critical. From
the command line they show correctly. Also the $OUTPUT$ variable does
not appear to return any information in the submit_check_result script.
I got the script out of the documentation. Perhaps the variable is
incorrect?

 

Here is an example of the email output.

 

 

* Nagios 2.10 *

 

Notification Type: PROBLEM

 

Service: Load

Host: Unix Server #rem5

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

State: CRITICAL

 

Date/Time: Tue Nov 13 16:32:01 EST 2007

 

Additional Info:

 

OUTPUT

 

 

As you can see above this is version 2.10 using nsca version 2.7.2.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Rob

Chris - Before you do anything, make sure you have the net-snmp package 
installed (look for snmpwalk in /usr/local/bin or suchlike). No snmp 
plugin will work without it (that I'm aware of anyway).

I might also suggest you investigate Groundwork - it takes some of the 
manual work out of configuring/using Nagios. It still requires 
understanding Nagios, and I'm sure its a bit of work to get started, but 
in the long run, you'll see web pages for configuration instead of text 
files, and it tries to make things a little simpler.

: I have only set up the configuration GUI for others, and 
haven't used the whole package, so I'm not speaking from experience. Not 
sure what its "free-ness" status is either...

[Nagios-users] Authentication question

[Palle L Jensen]

Hi All,

 

We have it setup to use login name and password in order to see Nagios Web
interface, and I want to remove that and then still be able to execute the
cgi commands.

Is it possible to remove the authentication and still be able to use the Cgi
commands in Nagios?

I have read the manual, but it doesn't seem to work.

I am running Nagios 2.9 on Fedora Core 6.

 

Thanks,

Palle

Re: [Nagios-users] Were can I find the check_snmp plugin

[Christy . New]

Please do not apply windows procedures in a unix environment. Work the
problem. Solve it step by step. Pay attention to the exact responses and
the exact commands.HOW AM CAN I TELL IF I AM RUNNING WINDOWS PROCEDURES IN
A LINUX ENVIRONMENT.  THESE WERE (.TAR.GZ)PLUGINS.  CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU
THOUGHT THIS

 1. Can you run access the router with SNMP at all? Test with snmpwalk.
(Known obstacles: firewalls, community strings ,)THIS IS GOOD, BECAUSE
I USE SNMP ON MY DEVICES ALREADY FOR OTHER UTILITIES THAT I USE.

 2. Can you run the plugin by hand? Test all the options you want to use
in nagios manualy first. Make sure you test this sucesfully as the user
that the nagios process runs as.  WHEN YOU SAY BY HAND, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
YOU MEAN.  I AM NO GOOD WITH COMMAND AND USE THE GNOME FOR MOST OF MY
EDITING.  I DON'T USE THE VI EDITOR MUCH

 3. Now try to build the most simple service definition and try within
Nagios.  MRTG I JUST DISCOVERED I DO NOT USE ON MY DEVICES SO I JUST
REMOVED IT, BUT STILL THE SNMP PLUGINS ARE STILL NOT WORKING AND NAGIOS
GIVES ME A RESPONSE BACK OF "PLUGIN MISSING"

THANKS HUGO APPRIECIATE YOUR GUIDANCE.

Very Respectfully,
Chris

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring a process

[Jerad Riggin]

Just to clarify

normal_check_interval   60
retry_check_interval360
notification_interval   360

This means that it checks every hour.  After it fails the first time,
it will wait 6 hours to retry, if it is still not OK after 6 hours, it
notifies and begins to notify every 6 hours until it's ok.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring a process

[Jerad Riggin]

Thanks for the response.  This is what I did just a bit ago.  I have
it successfully monitoring outlook.exe, however no e-mails are being
sent when it's critical.

Here is what I have as the service definition:

define service{
   use leadlander
   host_name   leadlandervm
   service_description Outlook Process
   contact_groups  bo,mis
   notification_optionsw,u,c,r
   check_command   check_nt2!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l outlook.exe
   }

Here is what I have for the leadlander template


define service{
   use generic-service

   nameleadlander
   is_volatile 0
   check_period24x7
   max_check_attempts  15
   normal_check_interval   20
   retry_check_interval20
   notification_interval   20
   notification_period 24x7
   register0
   }

Does it only notify after the first retry failure, or should it notify
as soon as the service is critical?  Any ideas?

Re: [Nagios-users] Were can I find the check_snmp plugin

[Christy . New]

I have tons of snmp plugins in this folder, but my routers, which allow
snmp will not run these two snmp service check:

They are as follows, and it keeps telling me that it is missing the plug
in.

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/SNMP.51.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=555

Here is were I pulled the plug-in and then extracted it's contents into the
libexec folder.  Next I stopped and restarted Nagios.  Then logged into
Nagios and the errors were still there.  So next I restarted my entire
server and followed the process and again it was still the errors are still
there.  Could it be that I am using UBUNTU Linux and maybe I should go with
redhat or debian?

Check_snmp is a standard plugin found in the Nagios Plugins package. If
you have downloaded these, then you already have it in your
/usr/local/Nagios/libexec (or wherever you installed Nagios, this is
just the default).

Jerad,

We have the NSClient++ running on our Windows servers and the following 
service check is an example of how we are monitoring services from the nagios 
server:

define service{
 use   generic-service
 host_name email server
 service_description   explorer
 check_command check_nt!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l explorer.exe
}

It is actually in one of the sample config files, you should just have to tell 
it what process you want to watch.

Why not just monitor the ports to verify they are being answered?

[Nagios-users] Monitoring a process

[Jerad Riggin]

Would it be possible using Nsclient++ to monitor for a process name?
We need to make sure Outlook.exe is running on the server and if it
isn't, send out notifications.

Thanks,

The hosts weren't disappearing, just showing inconsistant states.  Anyway,
that fixed the problem.  Thanks, Marc!

Re: [Nagios-users] no newlines in notification emails ?

[SCHAER Frederic]

Hi,

Maybe a stupid question, but did you solve the problem ?
I upgraded to nagiosb6 beta and I still get no newlines in the service
notifications (host notifications are fine)... wondering if that's me or
something else.

Cheers

[Shawn Kovalchick]

Actually, the timing is a bit different than what I described below.
Refreshing once per second, I was able to determining that the correct state
shows for 5 seconds, then the incorrect state shows for 10 seconds, then the
process repeats.

[Nagios-users] Old state information randomly appearing

[Shawn Kovalchick]

I have 2 hosts and 4 services that I added Friday to my nagios
configuration.  They were misconfigured (wrong IP addresses), and rightly
sent out notifications.  I disabled notifications and active checks via the
web interface while I was diagnosing the problem.  I fixed the problems (the
IP addresses) and reenabled the checks and notifications.  Now, every once
in a while (roughly once per minute), the old data appears on the tac.cgi,
status.cgi, and extinfo.cgi pages.  They will show as down/critical, and
will have the icons for disabled notifications and disabled active checks.
Then, moments later, they will show normal (OK state, with no icons for
disabled notifications/checks).  I have tried purging the bad data from  the
log files, retention.dat, etc. while the Nagios daemon was stopped, but the
bad data still shows.  Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to
flush this old data?

The only documentation I am aware of is the source code itself
(nagios-src/base/logging.c). For anything that starts with MACRO_, you
can find more information about that in the Macros documentation. --

Thanks for your answer Brian.

I've found ports-mgmt/jailaudit in the Ports. Seems quite useful yet.
I'll see how this tool can help on monitoring the installed ports for
security holes.

Monitoring the jails for updates should work with pkg_version -vL "="

I'll let you know if I've made something useful.

Matthias

All that you need to do is exec portaudit and trap the output.  However,
mapping this into warn/crit status will get tricky.

Most big shops have software release engineer processes that prevent
them from, as a NetBSD friend of mine calls it, "implementing massive
rolling in-place binary upgrades".

In the hope that security will somehow be derived from that (Linux
credo, I suppose).  I like the idea ether way.  Let me know if you need
help testing/coding.

The book physically exists, and is being shipped to stores now.  You
should be able to find it any day now.

I really need to change my .sig...

[Nagios-users] RE : Nagios CGI modification

[Florent HOUBART]

Hello,


>Changing the link is no big deal of course.  My big question is, how do I
>get a list of all the hosts in that host group passed?


You may find exemple of such tasks in status.cgi. You need to loop over all the 
hosts and check for each if the belong to the hostgroup or not.

Below is an extract of status.c where I only keep what would be relevant for 
you (extract from function show_hostgroup_overview). 

--

/* find all the hosts that belong to the hostgroup */
for(temp_hoststatus=hoststatus_list;temp_hoststatus!=NULL;temp_hoststatus=temp_hoststatus->next){

 /* find the host... */
 temp_host=find_host(temp_hoststatus->host_name,NULL);

 /* make sure this host a member of the hostgroup */
 if(!is_host_member_of_hostgroup(hstgrp,temp_host))
  continue;

 /* make sure the user is authorized to see this host */
 if(is_authorized_for_host(temp_host,¤t_authdata)==FALSE)
  continue;

 
 /* Do something with the host temp_host */
}

---

Regards,

Florent Houbart

I use the Nuvola style from the NagiosExchange website, for me it's an
instant improvement in the look and feel of the Nagios frontend.
