[Nagios-users] Problems starting nagios

2007-12-19 Thread Alan Cooper
Nagios 3.0rc1 on RHEL3

I've RPM'd up this release - I have it working fine on one RHEL3 box, 
and various other rhel4 boxes without issue, with the same configuration 
on all boxes.

One (and only one) other RHEL3 box is causing me problems - nagios is 
quietly refusing to start, citing problems with the config file, but not 
saying what they are.

Any ideas on where to begin debugging?

   Based on the snmpwalk provided, you don't have the EMC (Data
General, actually) MIB installed in your SNMP setup.  You'll need
to locate that someplace on EMC's web-site.  There's not a whole
lot in the MIB, either; it's mainly trap definitions.

   I've got one that I faked up so my SNMP management system (also
running Nagios) can properly understand traps if anybody's interested.

Found! I recompile Nagios 3 without embedded perl, disable embedded perl :

enable_embedded_perl=0
use_embedded_perl_implicitly=0


and now Nagios use only 2Mo of memory, and stop growing !

I'd guess your box is running out of RAM/swap.

Taking a stab at it, do you have the embedded perl interpreter  
compiled in? There are known memory leak issues with it. Search for  
previous posts from Stanley Hopcroft for more information.

 and fork for each check.

This would be normal.

Smells like a memory leak. You shouldn't act too surprised when using  
beta, non-production quality software. Problems are to be expected.

Re: [Nagios-users] Linux Software Raid Plugin Recommendation?

2007-12-19 Thread Miah, W (Wadud)
We use SNMP to monitor hardware RAID arrays (of course, they must be IP
based). If you're using certain 3ware controllers, you can also use
smartd to monitor the member devices (see man smartctl). Or, if you're
using mdadm (software RAID), set the following line in /etc/mdadm.conf

PROGRAM /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/md_monitor

which alerts Nagios that your RAID array is degraded (see man mdadm).
The above service will have to be configured as a passive check (can be
set up to be a passive/active check using freshness_threshold and
check_freshness). What kind of RAID do you want to monitor? e.g.
software or hardware?

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring using MIBs

2007-12-19 Thread Miah, W (Wadud)
Here's an example on using snmpwalk:

snmpwalk -Of -c public -v1 -m IFT-SNMP-MIB 172.16.140.35 private

where the MIB is stored in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/. The MIB can also be
specified in the check_snmp plugin, which obtains it from the specified
path. Examine the MIB first and browse through the output of snmpwalk to
obtain OID of interest. 

Hope this helps.

I'd like to monitor a specific proxy service (Blue Coat) and I don't

Anybody knows a good tip about that ?

Anything that has a command line utility that gives you text output  
displaying the status of your array can be scripted to create your own  
plug in.  You just may need to know a little sh/perl/python to get it  
done.

What utility do you use to check the status of your array now?  Can  
you give me some sample output?  Perhaps I have the time to script  
something for you today.

Re: [Nagios-users] Linux Software Raid Plugin Recommendation?

There are several plugins for this this already on nagios exchange. I would 
take a look there as well.

Some of them are:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Linux.55.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=639

Python plugin to check the status of a software based RAID device. patched 
version, So it will work on both older (fedora core 1, 2) and newer (fc3, fc4, 
fc5, centos 4) hosts. (patch from rouilj, 03.02.2006) test ok on Debian woody,

and

 The above service will have to be configured as a passive check (can
 be
 set up to be a passive/active check using freshness_threshold and
 check_freshness). What kind of RAID do you want to monitor? e.g.
 software or hardware?

Anything that has a command line utility that gives you text output
displaying the status of your array can be scripted to create your own
plug in.  You just may need to know a little sh/perl/python to get it
done.

What utility do you use to check the status of your array now?  Can
you give me some sample output?  Perhaps I have the time to script
something for you today.

[Nagios-users] newbie questions

2007-12-19 Thread Javier
Hello,

i have installed nagios yesterday and i have a check_ping on 4
servers, a check_http on an apache server and a check_mysql on another
one

but i have a lot of websphere servers and i would like to add them to
my nagios platform, they answer on the 9080, 9043 and 9060 ports, is
there a plugin for websphere?, or do i have to modify only the
commands.cfg for websphere?

i also have another question, if i want to check a socket on iseries
(as400), is it ok to use the check_tcp plugin?, has anyone use it
before?

[Nagios-users] Check_NRPE plugin issue after 3.0b7 upgrade.

2007-12-19 Thread Lorand S. D'Caltan
I've migrated from 1.0 to 3.0b7 recently and I'm running into a couple
of issues, the most pressing of which is a problem with the check_nrpe
plugin's return of data.

This is my command definition:
define command {
command_namecheck_nrpe
command_line$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
}
Copied from my old config.

This is the service in question:
##  Check Linux /db Partition on DB servers
define service {
use generic-service
hostgroup_name generic-hostgroup
service_description /db Partition
contact_groups  GRP-Systems,GRP-Pagers
check_period24x7
notification_interval   15
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
notification_period 24x7
check_command   check_nrpe!check_disk2
max_check_attempts  3
normal_check_interval   15
retry_check_interval1
}

This is the relevant part of the nrpe.cfg located on one of the affected
hosts:
command[check_disk2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 15 -p
/dev/sda10

Now this command works fine, and outputs this in Nagios:
/db Partition








OK 12-19-2007 09:37:54 4d 11h 53m 8s 1/3 DISK OK - free space: /db 3653
MB (4% inode=99%):



So, my problem here is that Nagios clearly sees that there is 4% of disk
space free, and yet still thinks the service is in an OK state. I need
it to recognize the Warning/Critical levels on the new system like it
did on the old system.

I'm using these packages on Centos 5.1:
nagios-3.0b7.tar.gz
nagios-plugins-1.4.7.tar.gz

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

You're only telling check_disk to warn if there are less than 20 KB
free, critical if less than 15 KB. If you mean to be talking about
percentages, you need to include the '%' sign. See --help for specifics
but here is the example --

Examples:
 check_disk -w 10% -c 5% -p /tmp -p /var -C -w 10 -c 5 -p /
Checks /tmp and /var at 10% and 5%, and / at 100MB and 50MB

[Nagios-users] Setting UP Host Groups

2007-12-19 Thread Michael Palmieri

Hello All,
 
I have been trying to figure out to setup host groups for a long time now and 
cannot figure it out at all.
 
I have a both switches and servers that I wish to organize in how they are 
displayed by Nagios.
 
It would be nice to have groups defined where all DSL routers are categorized 
under the DSL routers group and all Frame Relay routers are categorized under 
Frame Relay group.  I recently started monitoring servers and I would like to 
have servers categorized under the servers group. 
 
I am not sure if I have my configuration files set up correctly.  As an example 
I just created two configuration file in my server folder.  I do not understand 
how to fix this error message
 
error: Host group 'windows-servers' has already been definedError: Could not 
register host group (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/servers/inbp.cfg', 
starting on line 49)
 
I have over 42 cfg files in my routers folder and will have 42 server config 
file in my server container.  
 
Also, It would be nice if the Status Map did not look like one huge circle, 
everything is piled up one on top of another.impossible to read.
 
Thanks
Michael

Re: [Nagios-users] Check_NRPE plugin issue after 3.0b7 upgrade.

2007-12-19 Thread Brock Kuhse
Nagios isn't seeing anything - it's the check_disk plugin that's returning
the OK result.

 

check_disk --help shows that -w and -c are used to show free space in
units when a percent sign doesn't follow the number:

 

check_disk --help

 

Options:

-w, --warning=INTEGER

Exit with WARNING status if less than INTEGER units of disk are free

 -w, --warning=PERCENT%

Exit with WARNING status if less than PERCENT of disk space is free

 -c, --critical=INTEGER

Exit with CRITICAL status if less than INTEGER units of disk are free

-c, --critical=PERCENT%

Exit with CRITCAL status if less than PERCENT of disk space is free

 

In your case, free space is around 3600 MB, far more than the 15/20 required
to trigger a critical/warning status.  So, the command you really want is
probably:

 

command[check_disk2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 15% -p
/dev/sda10

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring using MIBs

2007-12-19 Thread Hugo Rebello




One more question.

I have the mib information below, however I don't know how can I use it
on the Nagios check.

I have tried this command, but I've just receive SNMP Warning message.

./check_snmp -H 192.168.1.12 -o

The usage.mib
file sends a notification when the percentage of available space that

[Nagios-users] check_nt - Output in MB instead of Bits for VRAM usage of a single Process.

2007-12-19 Thread Lorand S. D'Caltan
I'm using this script:
#
#!/bin/bash
RESULT=`./check_nt -H adr01 -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l
\Process(EvDRServer)\Virtual Bytes -w 1500 -c 2000`
CALCULATED=`echo $RESULT | awk '{print $1/8/100  MB}'`
echo $CALCULATED
exit 0
#

To parse the output of the check_nt COUNTER command that's grabbing the
virtual memory usage for a particular process on a particular server.


The script works great from the command line:
# ./check_adr01_vmem
204.457 MB

However, when I go into the service detail for the server through Nagios
web, I get this:
ADR-Server-VM-Usage OK 12-18-2007 15:21:16 0d 0h 0m 29s 1/3 0 MB 



Am I missing something that would cause Nagios to fail to grab the
output from the script correctly?


Running the check_nt -H adr01 -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l
\Process(EvDRServer)\Virtual Bytes -w 1500 -c 2000 command results in
an output of Virtual Memory Usage: 141369344 in Nagios, which isn't
particularaly useful, so I got some assistance writing the script above.
If there's a better/easier solution to parse the outlput from Bits to MB
I would be more than happy to use it instead of the script.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you

[Nagios-users] Fw: Question about external notifications.

2007-12-19 Thread Nene
 50% of Nagios Notification Service (notify-host-by-email / 
notify-service-by-email) is active...I mean 50% because I'm able to delivery 
notifications just to users accounts within my server (allocating Nagios), 
nevertheless external user accounts can not be reached (external email 
domains).

 Do I have to work on the MTA (EXIM or SENDMAIL in my case) in order to get 
the 50% remaining and deliver mail to remote domains ?

Thanks in advanced for your support.

[Nagios-users] Multiple Servicegroups

2007-12-19 Thread Mohr James
Hi All!

We are running version 2.5. We host several companies each with a
product environment (PE) and a test environment (TE). We would like to
have a service group for the company which contrains the services in the
PE and the TE. We also have cases where there are three levels:
customer, project, PE/TE. 

As far as I can tell, there is no way to create hierarchical service
groups where we define one servicegroup and use it in another group like
one can do with service templates.  The only was I see of doing what I
would like is to specify the list servicegroups within the service
definition. For example, service1 is in the PE, so it would have an
entry like servicegroups customer_pe, customer_te. Is there any other
way of doing this?

Any info is appreaciated.

Regards,

Jim Mohr

[Nagios-users] Starting activity check on one host, but referencing another.

2007-12-19 Thread Mohr James
Hi All!

We have a couple of NetApp storage applicance that we monitor from the
Nagios server. I would like to define service for several of the
filesystems, but instead of being services of the Nagios server I would
like them to be services of the host that mounts them. One alternative
would obviously be to simply create the service and set the host to the
other machine and either user an active check on the remote machine or a
passive check that is started on the Nagios server and sets the status
accordingly. 

My boss does not want to install NRPE, so that leaves the passive
service. We have about 20 filesystems to monitor and my boss does not
like the idea of 20 services attached to the nagios sever like that. My
suggestion one a single active service on the nagios machine that checks
all of the Netapp filesystems and the sets the status on the respective
passive service on the remote host. 

Can anyone thing of any other alternatives? Any info is appreaciated.

BTW, we have nagios 2.5.

Regards,

Jim Mohr

[Nagios-users] Announce: Check All Automatic Windows Services Plugin

2007-12-19 Thread Hari Sekhon
Hi,

   I have just released a plugin for Windows to check all automatic 
services. I got this idea from NagiosExchange in fact and thought it was 
a good one, except that it only ran with NC_Net which I have no 
intention of using, and was a bit of a nagios server side hack against 
remote servers, the kind of thing I do a lot but wouldn't release since 
they are inefficient and cheap (I may rewrite some of those things in fact).

I've written this plugin to hopefully be better than the other one in 
every way:

1. It will work with any Nagios Remote Execution Method (I like 
NSClient++ for it's simplicity of automated deployment)
2. Native Windows Execution - Written as a WSF (VBS + XML) - will work 
on any modern Windows Operating System
3. Efficient - Only 1 Execution Call to check everything
4. Flexible - Accepts service exclusions, windows and unix options and 
shortcuts, can run against remote servers as easily as local server
5. Simple, you can just run it if you don't have fancy needs.
6. Written to follow Nagios coding guidelines quite closely as always, 
with debugging verbosity, timeout etc.

I'm not sure how good an idea you guys out there think this is, but I 
thought it was quite useful as it's only 1 check in your nagios 
interface but will alert you to any number of automatic startup services 
having died or stopped for any reason, and gives a good catch-all net 
for things that should be but aren't running, even if you otherwise 
haven't thought of it or don't normally monitor it.

Extra tripwires are good I think...

Hope some of your find it useful.


Feedback, feature requests, bugs, discussion on coding style or general 
questions about this are welcome at this address.
As always, I'm always eager to have feedback, I've written it as well as 
I could before releasing it (which is why it's already at version 0.8) 
but am always open to making improvements.


Thanks for reading.

[Nagios-users] check_perc.pl

2007-12-19 Thread Robert Ferguson
Good Afternoon

 

I am having an issue with this plugin.  Maybe one of you can help.  I am
receiving a null return when nagios runs this command, however when
running on command line, it returns just fine.  Here is my command
definition and define service:

 

# 'check_perc.pl' command definition

define command{

command_name check_perc

command_line  $USER1$/check_perc.pl -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -D $ARG2$ -T $ARG3$

}

 

define service{

use
local-service

host_name HostNameHere

service_descriptionCheck Perc

check_command check_perc!public!phys!am

}

 

As I said, I have been successful in running this at the command line
both as root and as nagiosuser.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Robert

Hi Karl,

Actually, I have run it as nagios (as well as root) also and I am
getting the correct responses at the command line.  I often over look
that sort of thing, so thanks for looking out for me.  To be honest, I
was running it as root for some time and then starting reading posts
about running it as nagios.  

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly,

Robert

Robert - 

Let me guess, you're running it as root... ? Remember that the Nagios
user is very unprivileged, and if you're having a problem with it
running things, you may need to wrap the command so that it can run as a
privileged user.

Re: [Nagios-users] Linux Software Raid Plugin Recommendation?

2007-12-19 Thread Steve Shipway
 There are several plugins for this this already on nagios exchange. I
 would take a look there as well.

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/RAID_Controller.58.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi
1[p_view]=224

This is the one we use - it supports several hardware RAID, plus
software raid on linux, solaris and AIX.

However, I'm a bit biased in my recommendation because I wrote it.
