You could set up passive checks, and have the DHCPized machines *send* you the test results, that way Nagios wouldn't have to have some way of addressing them. I *think* that would work? I've never tried it. Benny Yes in fact this is a good idea Benny, since the NSCA calls embed the hostname in the message so that it doesn't rely on the IP/hostname of the originator. This should entirely work. If implementing a lot of passive checks though, you should really check out NSCA Wrapper on Nagios Exchange. I wrote it cos writing a wrapper to send nsca result for every single check seems to be a waste of time. Just run ./nsca_wrapper -H hostname -S service_name -C '/path/to/plugin -args' and the /path/to/plugin is run, results formatted properly and then submitted to the Nagios server as an NSCA result, no code writing required. Of course you have to have set up NSCA first, it's not magic after all... NSCA Wrapper can be found here: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=980 Because there are better things to have to write a shell script for every check to make it a passive check. If you're using Windows on the remote hosts, then I think the only solution in that case is to use NC_Net as the only Windows nagios monitoring client that supports NSCA (correct me if you know of any other decent ones), but I'm less keen on this than on NSClient++ since it's harder to deploy (NSClient++ is very easy to deploy even to a very large number of hosts since you can easily script the deployment - and I did). NC_Net has dependency on .NET Framework which means you have to go around manually installing that everywhere, it always gives a pop up to complete the installation, so definitely not as nice and simple as NSClient++. So that's the whole NSCA bag if you want it. -h Hari Sekhon - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] Nagios plugin for Ganglia data and NRPE
Hi, I have been wondering, there is a lot I like about Ganglia and a lot of people I have talked to agree. It is small and very efficient and not hard to expand. What I wondered is if anyone has heard of a Nagios/Ganglia plugin or even examples of people replacing NRPE with Gangila's monitor daemon? Same question goes for Cacti or Monit.. I keep wondering if anyone is trying to tie some of this stuff together?

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP
Hari, Thank you for this suggestion, but we do have a very small LAN here, and we simply use the DHCP daemon that is comes with the software on our router. If I were managing a larger LAN, it's likely that I would use a *nix host to run a DHCP daemon. I've configured the router so that it reserves a given IP for a given MAC that is regularly on the network. This way, the DHCP daemon can still do its job of auto-assigning IPs to new machines, but it can also see to it that the IP doesn't change over time (which solves the problem that I was experiencing using Nagios).

Bensend'; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring hosts and DHCP If you dhcp server is on unix, write some code to parse the dhcp leases file to give you the mapping as dynamic input to your check. eg. check_something -H `show_dhcp computer1` .. or check_something -H `check_nrpe -H dhcp_server -c show_dhcp -a computer1` although this would require passing params through NRPE which I am absolutely against as a security risk. Alternatively you could define lots of nrpe definitions on the dhcp server to get around the need for args... show_dhcp_computer1 for example. Depends on how big your environment is really. I actually starting writing something to display dhcp leases but got sidetracked and didn't finish. If you could wait a little while, there is a good chance that you can just use what I am writing, although I started it just to see who was getting dhcp leases on my network to keep an easier eye on it. I will consider your situation and see what can be done about it when writing my plugin which I should pick up again and finish shortly... -h Hari Sekhon Matt Lozier wrote: Hi Benny, Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately I'm not using DNS, and I don't want to have to :-) Just want to know if there is a way to monitor hosts that obtain their IP address via DHCP.

I also have a DHCP server casting each machine on the network their IP address on start-up. Some machines stay on the majority of the time, others for only 4-8 hours a day. The machines generally maintain their same IP address over time as DHCP is designed to try and give a machine back it's same IP, so long as it's available. However, there have been times when a machine has changed its IP addresses as a result of using DHCP on this LAN. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host Pay particular attention to the address section...

[Nagios-users] SNMP autodiscovery / Puppet Naginator question
I'm looking for ways to autocreate Nagios config files, using Puppet's Naginator, but before I can do that, I need to clear up an autodiscovery problem I have. I'm hoping someone here on the list has done something like that before. I would like to query a network device (e.g. Cisco) and get all its routes (as if I typed in something like show ip route). Is SNMP standardized to the point where I can send one query to any network device and have it return to me the route statements, regardless of the make, model, or vendor of my networking device? If anyone could point me in the right direction of what I should be looking for, I would be eternally grateful! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP autodiscovery / Puppet Naginator question
Have a look at NACE: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Configuration.20.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=277 NACE provides a toolkit for creating queries to generate Nagios configurations from any kind of data. One of the examples is creating disk space check services for every drive autodetected via SNMP on a remote host. This would be similar to your route issue. Let me know if you find it useful!
