O seu gerente vai achar melhor do que o Nagios. Hehehe... Eu só visitei o site deles, parece ser uma boa ferramenta. A vantagem dela em relação ao Nagios é que parece vir 'melhor acabada' para uso corporativo. Acho que o Nagios perde em alguns recursos para o Zenoss e para o Zabbix. Agora pra mim esta difícil mudar, o jeito vai ser continuar brigando com o Nagios para chegar onde eu quero.

[Nagios-users] Dealing with nightly high load
All, I'm trying to deal with a bunch of servers that generate some high load during the night. That is, between 00:00 and 06:00 a series of job is run that will generate load from 10 to 15. Outside this windows, load should be no more than 3. I have read all the documentation, but I cant find a way to implement this in Nagios. I have found 2 options: - defining 2 services (load_daily and load_nightly) with different tresholds. This will make 2 services show up in nagios that are essential the same - using escalations to supress messages during the night. This will however still show errors in the webinterface and spoil you reports with fake errors How can I tell Nagios that during the day the load should be max 3 (warning) and max 5 (critical) but during the night, it's ok if they are 8 (warning) and 10 (critical)? I'm sure other people have ran into this same problem and found a solution for it? Please share! I'm running Nagios 2.10 Thanx for the help.

[Nagios-users] snmptraphandling.py
Is anyone using Francois Meehan's snmptraphandling.py script?
There's a part of the script where it opens the Nagios.cmd file. I'm not
a python coder, but it appears to me that it writes to the file with 'w'
which would overwrite any pending commands that Nagios has not yet
processed:
#print mondata_res
output = open('/opt/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd', 'w')
results = [ + mytime + ] + PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;
\
+ host + ; + TRAP- + service_suffix + ; \
+ return_code + ; + mondata_res + \n
output.write(results)
I'm thinking that this script should be opening the file with the 'a'
(Append) mode, so that unprocessed commands in nagios.cmd do not get
overwritten.
I do appear to be missing some traps within Nagios, I can see them as
far as snmptt, but it seems either sec.pl or snmptraphandling.py somehow
doesn't process them and the trap doesn't make it as far as Nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS gateway
I use Gnokii with a Nokia phone and it works really well but it relies on a wired or wireless connection (serial, usb, infrared or Bluetooth according to the website) between the server and the phone. I use some simple shell scripts to interface between Nagios and Gnokii. It could be part of what the OP wants if somebody writes (or has already written) an http-to-gnokii gateway, but then that wouldn't really be a hardware solution as requested.

[Nagios-users] RES: SMS gateway
We use Smstools (http://smstools.meinemullemaus.de/) which works very smoothly, but hardware is always a problems because of cable and cel devices compatibility. Lately we´ve found a little device from Huawei, the E220 model which connects trhough USB and works fine. I think the best hw solution would be the Falcon modems, but unfortunately they are hard and expensive to find here. Check with the guys from Netways (www.netways.de), I believe they have a ready package using Falcon as SMS gateway fully integrated with Nagios. []s _ Dario B. BestettiOpServices R.

[Nagios-users] obsessing and event handlers
Hi all, Can anyone here tell me where I'm going wrong in my attempts to correctly setup a slave nagios server. What I have is as follows :- 1 master nagios host (running FreeBSD 6.2). This host executes active checks some of which trigger event handlers (ie. to restart web servers, etc... the usual stuff). 1 slave nagios host (running FreeBSD 5.5). This host rsyncs the nagios configuration files from the master, and performs the check_nagios plugin to determine if the master is running. If it is not, then it takes over active checks. The above has been setup using the documentation accompanying the nagios installation and has v 2.10 installed. Yesterday I tried to get the slave to receive service check results from the master by running the nsca daemon on the slave and adding commands to enable send_nsca on the master to transmit results to the slave. To achieve this I forced the master to obsess over services and this all worked correctly. However, when I checked the system today I have found that although an event handler should have been executed overnight, it did NOT get executed. The only way I've been able to get the master to actually run the event handlers as needed has been to disable obsessing on the master - hence I no longer have the slave passively receiving service check results. I've sort of worked round this by enabling a global event handler on the master which calls the send_nsca command, so at the moment the slave is passively gettings the changes of state to services (but, as the http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html page says, We could use event handlers to report changes in the state of a service, but that just doesn't cut it.) and the master is happily executing event handlers as needed. Anyone else had this problem with event handlers when obsessing is enabled ? And does anyone have this working correctly ? thanks, Mark - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards, Jasper Filon CAIWAY Business SNIP Jasper, I have sort of the same issue and you have already stated the most expedient, and indeed only, solution that I found. Two services with different time periods for checking. It's doesn't look as pretty in the web interface but it works like a charm. The other method would be to write a wrapper that performs the check and alerts on the value you set based on time. This wouldn't be hard to do to be honest but it seems like re-inventing the wheel to some degree. The other question I have is if the servers are capable of withstanding a load that high why not just have your high threshold set the same all time? My situation isn't load based but with the standard Nagios plugin you can alert on any of the three points that uptime returns (here I make the assumption you are monitoring *nix boxen). If the situation calls for being able to be alerted to spikes during normal operating hours then you will either need two checks and time period for each or a wrapper that checks the time and returns an alert based on the time and load.

[Nagios-users] Need help using check_by_ssh with check_disk
I'm running Nagios 2.10 with plugins 1.4.10 running on: Linux nagioshost 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:56:28 EST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux System information on the two remote hosts is: Linux remotehost1 2.6.9-11.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri May 20 18:26:27 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Linux remotehost2 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux My check (in commands.cfg as check_disk_by_ssh) is: $USER1$/libexec/check_by_ssh -E -i identify.txt -l nagios -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ The services.cmd has: check_disk_by_ssh!10%!5% This test runs fine on remotehost1, but on remotehost2 it returns back UNKNOWN - check_by_ssh: Remote command '/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5%' returned status 255. At first, I thought this could be a 32 vs. 64-bit issue, but the Nagios host is 64-bit while both remotes are 32. From the command line, both hosts work fine and 'echo $?' shows 0 for both. Logging into the remote boxes and running check_disk manually is fine as well. Using -v doesn't help since it doesn't show tracing information. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this? Are there any other tricks I can try for debugging this? Any help would be appreciated immensely. Thanks! - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

[Nagios-users] Announce: Check Dhcpd Leases - Shows leases / Alerts on unauthorized machines
Hi, I've just released another plugin on www.NagiosExchange.org to display the leases that have been handed out by an ISC Dhcpd server. It can also be used to alert you if any unauthorized machine is detected as having a dhcp lease by going Critical. This works by giving the plugin any combination of Whitelists/Blacklists of Hostnames and/or Mac Addresses. Combine for maximum tripping effect. Outputting is also flexible so you can choose whether you want to include/exclude Hostnames and/or Macs displayed as well as just IPs when displaying the leases (default is Hostname = IP). There are also switches for sorting the order of display and whether you want compacted output, as well as whether to give the summary information on the number of active leases. As usual, it should be flexible enough for all needs, and is open to suggestions/constructive criticisms or feature requests which should be sent to this address. Find the plugin here: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=1164 Hope you find it useful Thanks -h -- Hari Sekhon - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Nagios
On Nov 28, 2007, at 4:52 AM, Mohr James wrote: Hi All! We had a problem the other day where the nagios process died and no one noticed it for over 30 minutes. Therefore, I was thinking about ways to monitor Nagios itself. One simply way would be a cronjob that checks if the nagios process is running and then uses yaps or something to send an SMS. But what about cases where the nagios process is running, but for whatever reason the messages are not being processed. I was thinking about setting up a service that is triggered by a cronjob and then sends a notification. This notification writes a flag file and every X minutes a cron job checks the age of the flag file. If the flag file is too old, it sends an SMS via yaps. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I was wondering if other people had already implemented something similar. Regards, Jim Mohr For a simple solution that requires no additional software, I just use the check_nagios plugin that comes with nagios, and run it from a script/cron job. This not only checks to see if nagios has crashed, but also checks the age of the status file. If a problem is detected with either (and I have had both situations) the script then first attempts to restart nagios via a full stop/start, then checks again and e-mails me with the result. So far, this has always just been a status notification saying that it had restarted nagios, as the stop/ start has worked as expected, but if for some reason that should fail it would notify me of this fact as well. --- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service Inc. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7250 x293 --- - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Re: [Nagios-users] How to get reboot messages
We have our site-specific init script do this on Linux and Solaris. We also dump the users from last into the mail just in case a user rebooted a lab machine. The general algorithm is: -build the input to /usr/lib/sendmail in some file -mail it with `cat $file | /usr/lib/sendmail -oi $emailAddress` -if shutting down, wait 10 seconds (this was for older Solaris, may not be needed) Make it run last on boots and first on shutdowns and you should be good.

if you're trying to check windows boxes, I wouldn't use this snmp value because I don't think it's set reliably. I've been using check_nt -v UPTIME for those (but i still think it resets correctly at reboot). Also, it may not say 0 days (so you could look to see if days doesn't show up); it may just give a time such as the following: host libexec # snmpget -v1 -c string host hrSystemUptime.0 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemUptime.0 = Timeticks: (8082663) 22:27:06.63 you'll have to play around w/ it, I guess (sorry for the top-posting). - Josh From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Yost, Josh Sent: Thu 11/29/2007 12:47 PM To: chris serafin; Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] How to get reboot messages hi, One simple idea is to use the Uptime number from SNMP (hrSystemUptime.0), and if that ever says 0 days then you get an alert.

[Nagios-users] Help with failover
I have 2 master servers that attach to a shared NAS which holds the nagios configs and status data basically /etc and /var. When the primary goes down there's an event handler that mounts the NAS on the backup and starts nagios. When I implemented this setup I thought it would be beneficial in the sense that I would have all the status data retained from the primary instance. This is not the case when I initiate a failover the backup system which mounts all the same data that the primary had prior to being brought down doesn't see any saved status data all checks are in a pending state until the distributed servers send new check data via nsca. The other confusing thing is that if I fail it back over to the primary it see's the old saved status data. I'm not sure what I'm missing here can anyone enlighten me?

Re: [Nagios-users] How to get reboot messages
Here, we do this by checking the uptime of the host/device.For switches etc, this is in the SNMP counter. For windows hosts, it is via check_nt and the UPTIME object. For unix, you just create an appropriate script to run via nrpe. We then do a critical if uptime 10min. Since hosts are checked every 5min at most then even if the hosts reboots quickly, this will alert. A scheduled outage is OK because the scheduled downtime extends 10min after the reboot.

From the command line, both hosts work fine and 'echo $?' shows 0 for

In a similar situation, I found it helpful to break my command line
tests into steps. First ssh directly into the remote as nagios and
execute the disk check, as you seem to have done. Then
sudo -u nagios ssh -i /var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -e -m -p /
to make sure the key is working and the args and path are correct. Then
sudo -u nagios /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H linoleum -i
/var/spool/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa -C /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk
-w 10% -c 5% -e -m -p /
If that works, the regular nagios process should work. I once had a
sticky problem where I could get the above working, but nagios kept
telling me unknown. It turned out I had a subtle little typo in my
config that made it different from my command line tests. Headache!

[Nagios-users] NRPE_NT Error: NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting...
Hi there, I'm trying to use NRPE to monitor remote Windows XP machines for the first time. Nagios version 2.8. I have installed check_nrpe on the Nagios server. Windows XP SP2 is the remote host. I installed NRPE_NT Version: 0.7f/2.0 on the XP machine. I edited the nrpe.cfg with the basic info including the following command definition: command[check_cmd]=c:\nrpe\test.cmd Test.cmd is on the XP machine in the following location: c:\nrpe\test.cmd. Here are the contents: @echo off echo hallo from cmd exit 1 I do a basic test from the Nagios server like this and it works: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10 NRPE_NT v0.7f/2.0 Next, I try executing the remote cmd file, and this is where I get the error: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.10 -c check_cmd NRPE_NT failed to create process, exiting...

[Nagios-users] String errors
Ok, so I'm monitoring about 100 websites with string checks via check_http. We are mirroring what our datacenter actually checks, so we have notifications turned off so when a site goes down we aren't being spammed by the datacenter and our nagios installation. The issue is that every once in awhile a string changes on the site so it goes critical in our nagios. We perhaps won't notice it for a day which messes up our availability reports. Is there a way to retroactively mark the time that it was critical as scheduled downtime? - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

I'm not aware of any way to retrospectively schedule downtime but you could probably solve your problem by adjusting your checking procedure. Assuming you or a colleague has access to change the html on your websites, you could have a standard string of text that you add to all your websites so that Nagios is checking the same text on each site. Whenever a new site is added, just make sure that your standard text string is added and you will avoid this problem in the first place. hth Aidan - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

[Nagios-users] SMS notification commands
Hi, I need to be able to send notifications via SMS in the event that the
email servers are unavailable, or the internet connection is down. There is
a server on the same network as the Nagios host that has a modem installed
and uses SMS Tools 3 to send messages. To send a message all I need to do is
place a file in a certain directory on that server, in a simple format, and
it does the rest.
So, I created a script called 'notify-by-sms' in /usr/local/nagios/libexec
which is as follows:
TMPFILE=`/bin/mktemp notify.XX`
/bin/echo -e $1 $TMPFILE
/usr/bin/scp $TMPFILE sms-server:/var/spool/sms/outgoing/
rm $TMPFILE
The script is owned by the user nagios and is executable. To run it I just
need to pass it a string like To: phonenumber\n\nmessagebody as the
only parameter. If I run it from the command line while logged in as nagios
it works fine.
I have the following in commands.cfg which I adapted from
notify-service-by-email and notify-host-by-email:
# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-sms
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-sms To:
$CONTACTPAGER$\n\n* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n
}
# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-sms
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/notify-by-sms To:
$CONTACTPAGER$\n\n* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: HOSTALIAS$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$
}
I see the following in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log, as an example (I
have replaced some things with ...):
[1196327641] SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
contactname;servername;SyncServer;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-sms;CRITICA
L - Error Fetching http://ipaddress/sync/ds [503] Service Temporarily
Unavailable
however the sms is not received. It does not even appear in the log on the
SMS server which indicates the script isn't running or isn't able to scp the
file to that server. I am using public key authentication to negate the need
for a SSH password to be entered.
Any ideas what the problem could be, when it runs manually from the command
line but not through the nagios daemon?
Thank you,
Nick

Ah I overlooked it was being copied to a remote server. As for running as the
user nagios, how did you achieve that - with su or logging in directly? I
found that su doesn't work as expected.
Anyhow, as you say the outgoing dir is world-writeable on the remote server,
then it should work AFAIK - though why don't you move the notify-by-sms script
to the remote server and have a sommand on the nagios server such as:
define command {
command_namenotify-host-by-sms
command_line/usr/bin/ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/some/path/notify-by-sms $CONTACTPAGER$ \$TIME$ $HOSTALIAS$ $HOSTSTATE$
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTOUTPUT$\
}
In my mind it's cleaner than the scp method, though whether or not it'll work
or not I'm not sure!

Peter
