Re: [Nagios-users] check_nt: Could not parse arguments
Hi,
To help clarify, -s is for the password while $ARG1$ was missing from the
orriginal command causing the missing ARGUMENT error
THe Hostname is needed since the plugin does not know what host it is
without that.
the port in this case is needed since check_nt.c compiles with the default
port of 1248
the -l is not needed since it is in the check command
define command{
command_namecheck_nt_cpu
$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -s $USER7$ $ARG1$
}
define service{
use generic-service
host_namehost001
service_description CPU load
servicegroupsload
check_commandcheck_nt_cpu!CPULOAD!-l 5,80,90
}

I What are the permissions on /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache, status.dat and directories above. They should be such that your web server can read them. Typically the files are 644 and 664 nagios:nagios respectively, directories 755. Again, SELinux could be getting you here if you have the normal file permissions set correctly. Also, does objects.cache have content fairly closely matching your config (all templates expanded)? -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Sun Monitoring
While Sun might have a way to monitor server health, I use check_logfiles (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Misc.54.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp_view %5D=538) to monitor the logs for errors more than anything. I have checks for power supplies, fans, SAN mounts, memory, cpu and SCSI errors, etc. setup to monitor the server health. I also use check_disksuite (software RAID for Solaris,) and Check Veritas Volume Manager for Veritas volumes. I use active server checks to monitor the services provided as well of course, almost exclusively with check_by_ssh or check_http. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nagios-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 4:09 PM > To: 'nagios Users Mailinglist' > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Sun Monitoring > > Hugo van der Kooij wrote: > > Lars Stavholm wrote: > >> Edwin Zoeller wrote: > >>> We are monitoring ~75 Sun Servers via Nagios.

[Nagios-users] notify-host-by-email - Variable problem
I am running 3.0rc2. I am trying to get the variable $HOSTNOTES$ to appear in
notify-host-by-email
This is the notify-host-by-email command definition that I changed. I added
"Notes: $HOSTNOTES$\n\n" in the spot shown below:
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-host-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nNotes:
$HOSTNOTES$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
The host I'm testing with contains only the word: TEST in its notes field.
define host{
use generic-router-intrust ; Inherit default
values from a template
host_name intrust-bob-ds1 ; The name we're giving to
this switch
alias Intrust BOB T1 ; A longer name associated with the
switch
address 66.243.142.155
notes TEST
icon_image switch.gif
statusmap_image switch.gd2
hostgroups intrust-office; Host groups this switch is
associated with
}
This is the debug log output:
[1201644173.199143] [032.2] [pid=30977] Raw Command: /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:

intrust-bob-ds1\nState: DOWN\nAddress: 66.243.142.155\nInfo: (Host Check Timed
Out)\n\nNotes: TEST
The problem is that the processed command gets truncated and a notification
never gets sent. If I change the notify-host-by-email definition and replace
$HOSTNOTES$ with another variable, $HOSTOUTPUT$ for instance, the debug log
shows this:
[1201644289.198269] [032.2] [pid=30977] Raw Command: /usr/bin/printf "%b"

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The notification gets sent successfully.
I know I have the syntax correct because I have it working with other variables
- it just wont work when I plug in the variable that I want: $HOSTNOTES$
I feel like I've found a bug but I really don't want to bother the developers
if I've missed something obvious.
Has anyone else encountered this?

While they may just be useless pieces of junk on their own, you do still need them to run your services.

I know there are no issues on the windows side since I have other services

Also the error message tells me the arguments that are specified are not

I have google'd, and checked the Nagios documentation and tried different

And this is were I am at now. Could anyone look this over and tell me what

No problem. Happens to me all the time. Sometimes I think I should start writing e-mails to the list whenever I have even the smallest problem, since, by way of including all relevant information, it inevitably forces me into finding the solution before ever clicking 'send'. :) On Tue, 2008-01-29 at 14:12 -0500, Jonathan Kamens wrote: > Thank you very much for responding.

If anybody can help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jonathan Kamens -Original Message- From: Jonathan Kamens Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 6:00 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Does alert re-escalate when text of alert changes? Greetings, We manage a bunch of servers using passive NSCA alerts, many of which are custom alerts we wrote ourselves, that spool to a central Nagios server. One of these alerts concerns the status of the RAID array on the servers. When something disrupts the array and it needs to rebuild, the alert goes into WARNING state, and the text that follows the WARNING shows (among other things) the percentage done that the rebuild is. It seems that every time that percentage increases and our passive alert script spools a message with the new percentage in it (but the same status, WARNING, as the old message), the central Nagios server treats this as a new alert and follows the configured escalation path over again. I'm wondering (a) am I interpreting this correctly, i.e., am I correct that this is why this alert keeps getting escalated over and over, and (b) is there any way, short of removing the percentage from the alert text so that the message is static, of preventing the repeated escalation?

[Nagios-users] Problems with two plugins timing out
Hi there - I am monitoring a system that functions as a mail and ssh server. Along with the check_ssh and check_smtp plugins, I am also monitoring the mailq, check_mailq, the diskspace, check_disk, and also the processes, check_procs. The latter three plugins are working fine, but the first two, check_ssh and check_smtp, are getting socket timeout errors. The Nagios server and NRPE client are running the 2.6 version. I ran the two plugins from the command line on both the Nagios server, via check_nrpe, and on the client in question, using just the plugins. I included the -p option to specify the port. Both instances resulted in timeouts occurring. The client system is running iptables, and I had configured it to allow what I thought was the appropriate traffic to go and come from the system. Listed below is an excerpt that deals with this issue: ### Accept connections from # Make sure to include these entries in the OUTPUT chain. $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p icmp -s -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -s -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 5666 -s -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -s -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 22 -s -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -s -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -p udp --dport 25 -s -j ACCEPT ... $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p icmp -d -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -d -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 5666 -d -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -d -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 22 -d -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -d -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 25 -d -j ACCEPT Are there any additional ports that I need to provide exceptions for in order to get the two plugins to work?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios full copied reserve server
I was able to create a true failover (hot-spare) setup using Linux-HA and DRBD. The two machines use a primary/secondary DRBD drive setup for /usr/local/nagios, /var/spool/mqueue, and /var/spool/clientmqueue. Linux-HA manages the virtual IP for nagios as well as bringing nagios and sendmail services up and down during a failover. This works very well, and because the mail spools are sync'ed not even unsent notifications are lost. I believe there are some previous threads about this setup, but if not I'd be happy to write up a HOW-TO. -Scott On 1/29/08, magic_rooter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello everybody.

Re: [Nagios-users] logging active checks
Thank you the reason we want to do so is we have a performance and historical trending application that was written in house and we want to be able to import the nagios perf data into the existing system. The guy that designed the system has been pulling the data from the logs and this works great cause most of what we track are checks that are submitted through nsca however some of the checks were not getting enough data to make a meaningful graph.

Re: [Nagios-users] logging active checks
I believe enabling the stalking option for the service will record all results to the nagios.log file. On 29-Jan-08, at 10:46 AM, Maxwell,Brady wrote: > Hopefully this is a simple question.

[Nagios-users] logging active checks
Hopefully this is a simple question. I looked through the doco for a setting that I might be missing in my nagios.cfg. basically my issue is that the system logs all passive checks and this setting is clear in the nagios.cfg, however I only see the state changes logged for active checks. I want all checks to be logged passive and active to the same file. Is there a way to make this happen in the config file?

[Nagios-users] FreeBSD 6.3 and Nagios
I can't find it right now but someone sent out an email saying they could not get Nagios 2.10 to run under FreeBSD 6.3. I've upgraded two systems to FreeBSD 6.3, both are running Nagios 2.10 without any problems. I didn't even have to recompile the port. I do have the /etc/libmap.conf entries for libthr though.

[Nagios-users] New Checks Do not get scheduled
So I have this weird circumstance where when I add new service checks and reload nagios the system does not start running these checks. We are using 2.9. The checks are setup as active checks. Checks that existed before the restart seem to take up to an hour to start updating even though all checks are set to 5 minutes and the initial service check spread is set to 30. On the service detail screen the next service check time will be in the past if we let the system alone it will start running the checks after about an hour. We have 6500 service checks running and the system is not loaded. Any Ideas? Thanks Brady - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios full copied reserve server
Hello everybody. I need to have nagios reserve server which will replace the main server when it dies. I installed nagios on another machine, copied all directory /usr/local/nagios and start reserve service Nagios. I have thound that statistics differs very much! Of course, nagios was installed in different time on each server. But when I copy status.dat file from the main server, availibility statistics on the reserve server became the same! But AFTER RESTART it returnes to its previos state:(. So, I can't solve this problem, because I can't understand what files I need to copy in order to make the full copy:(. I must mention that reserve server must not work all time. It has to be turn on ONLY when main server dies. So, what about availibility statistics? How to make statistics on reserve server STRONGLY the same as on the main server?

Maybe I am missing it, but I don't see that notifications_enabled being set for
this service.

[Nagios-users] no email notification
I don't receive email notifications on problems. Emailing as user nagios
from the command line works (postfix). Email address in contacts.cfg is
correct and I have the necessary lines in the service description to (I
think):
define service{
host_name localhost
service_description test_notification
check_command test_notification
max_check_attempts 4
normal_check_interval 2
retry_check_interval1
check_period24x7
notification_interval 15
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsw,c,r
contact_groups beick
}
Any idea what I have missed?
