Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA processes hanging around
No one seems to have replied to this post. So I thought I may as well
reply to myself :)
I think I have some more information about the cause of my issue and
maybe someone else can confirm or refute my suggestion.
Whilst running the Nagios beta versions we were experiencing memory
leaks (as documented in the change logs). Rather than roll back to 2.9
I was happy to script a restart of Nagios daily and wait for the problem
to be fixed.
Now I have removed the restarting of Nagios I no longer get any nsca
processes hanging around. So can anyone confirm the behaviour of NSCA
when nagios is shutting down or has shutdown?
As always, any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gareth.

Subject: [Nagios-users] NSCA processes hanging around
Hello,
Over time I notice a number (a large number, ~500) of nsca processes
hanging around. I used netstat to see what they were up to and they
where all in the TIME_WAIT status.
Reading on the internet I think I understand what this means. Linux is
not closing the socket as it is waiting for any delayed traffic on the
network to appear. I have no problem with this as my first thought would
be that I will see a slow shift in the process numbers as sockets are
eventually closed and opened by new requests. This is not, however, the
behaviour I observed! The processes would wait indefinitely.
Now, clutching at straws I think I have managed to fix the problem. I
removed the REUSE flag from the nsca xinetd configuration:
# default: on
# description: NSCA
service nsca
{
#Commented out the line below in the vain hope it would fix nsca's wagon
#FLAGS = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nagios
group = nagios
server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca
server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg --inetd log_on_failure
+= USERID
disable = no
}
Again some research on the net has told me a little bit about the REUSE
flag but I wanted to gather the opinions from those with much more
knowledge than I. Therefore, can anyone tell me if this is a reasonable
thing to do? Have I made a grievous error without even knowing? Has
anyone else experienced this behaviour?
I really appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this and would
love some feedback if you get the chance.
Many thanks,
Gareth Watson

[Nagios-users] nagios3 and embeded perl
Hi list,
I've been planning to upgrade to Nagios3 lately and wanted to start using
the ePN.
Compiling with or without ePN works fine. But if I try to run the perl
enabled Nagios version it nicely segfaults at startup.
(Of course the non ePN Nagios daemon works fine)

Re: [Nagios-users] Sending notifications via SMS+mobile phone
Yes there is a SIM card in the terminal. We have this on a contract that has a
load of free sms messages allocated every month.
Works out very cheap indeed.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Sending notifications via SMS+mobile phone
We use that terminal at our workplace. I have been using SMSLink very
successfully for the past 12 months.
I did have to play with the source code to get it working just how we wanted.
However, the developer tells me that the changes I have made are now included
in the new version. I would take a look at that if you want an easy way to get
this working:
http://smslink.sourceforge.net/
Once configured and installed all we needed to do was create a notification
command like this:
define command{
command_name notify-by-sms
command_line echo -e
$SERVICEDESC$\r$HOSTNAME$\r$SERVICESTATE$\r$SERVICEOUTPUT$ |
/usr/local/bin/sendsms -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -Q -f'-' localhost 2/dev/null }
Works a treat for us. Plus we like the fact that we can also send SMSs to this
software. This means that, in theory at least, our engineers could acknowledge
a problem or get a status report from Nagios by texting the SMS modem. We have
yet to implement this but it was a big selling point for our installation.
I hope this helps,
Gareth.

That looks correct.
What I'd recommend is to write to /tmp/nagios.cmd, check that file.
Then perform this as the same user as your PHP is run (www-data/apache
probably):
cat /tmp/nagios.cmd /var/lib/nagios2/rw/nagios.cmd
You should see if it works.
Also, are you writing or appending to the nagios.cmd pipe?
I think appending is TheRightWay(tm) to do it.

Re: [Nagios-users] how to get passive checks to work
HI Every one, I am having a slight problem with the windows NRPE client which checks the memory load. nt_memload, is reporting Mem: 1200 MB (58%) / 2047 MB (41%) However, the server has 4G of RAM. any Ideas why this is? Is there a flag that I need to set or something? Thanks in advance. Luis - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] Sending and monitoring email
Pardon the newbie question, but I need to know if Nagios will do what I need before investing time and effort in it. I need to monitor an email sync management system where I send an email to the server and measure the time it takes to get synced to a device. The email send is SMTP. The receive is an HTTP push to the device. Can Nagios be set up to - wake up every five minutes - send an email - start a transaction timer - go into a passive wait for an HTTP message - get and process the HTTP message - stop the timer and report the time difference? If so, would you be kind enough to point me to the features of Nagios that I would need to set up the email send and passive HTTP wait? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

After some further digging, I managed to track down the problem, although the why and how to fix are still a mystery. Apparently what's happening is that every so often nagios switches from the expected CRITICAL sate to a warning state, with a status message similar to PING WARNING - DUPLICATES FOUND! Packet loss = 6%, RTA = 574.20 ms. Since I had warning messages disabled for this service, I never got that e-mail, but when it switched back to a critical state on the next check, I do get the critical message. So I guess Nagios is working as it should, and it's just a mystery of why I am getting that response from the ping when the router port is disabled.

Yes, if you can code everything from 'send an email' on as a plugin in your favorite language. Nagios must be able to perform those actions by running an external script/program (i.e. plugin). There's no standard plugin that does anything like that except check_email_loop.pl which sends an e-mail, then on the next run verifies that it was received in a POP account. You could use that as a model. I think your only sticky-wicket is listening on port 80 for the HTTP response but I can't say for sure not being familiar with the system you're working with. I assume that the whole transaction takes less than a minute or so. If it's longer, you might want to have the HTTP listener run separately as a daemon and log to a file on receipt and on your next run of the plugin, verify that the previous transaction was received. If so, would you be kind enough to point me to the features of Nagios that I would need to set up the email send and passive HTTP wait? http://nagiosplug.sf.net - Developer Guidelines and examining how the check_email_loop.pl plugin works would probably be a start. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

In earlier versions I think there was a problem with a wrong/missing index on at least one of the tables. When the ndo daemon starts, it attempts to delete old records from the table and this delete takes ages. If you monitor your sql database while Nagios is starting, you can probably see the relevant sql running (I used phpMyAdmin for this). I got around the problem by configuring ndo only to store a tiny amount of information like so (in ndo2db.cfg). # Keep timed events for 24 hours max_timedevents_age=1440 # Keep system commands for 1 week max_systemcommands_age=10080 # Keep service checks for 1 days max_servicechecks_age=1440 # Keep host checks for 1 week max_hostchecks_age=10080 # Keep event handlers for 31 days max_eventhandlers_age=44640 I've also found it doesn't seem to matter (to me, your experience may be different) if I terminate the offending SQL session in MySQL to allow ndo to start more quickly. Typically I only resort to doing this if I've had ndo disabled for a while then start it up - it then has more deletions than usual to wade through. As Patrick said, I think the index is fixed in later versions of ndo. If you're stuck with an earlier version I guess it should be fairly easy to identify where an index would help and add one yourself. I'm sorry I can't remember precisely which the problemmatic table was. hth, Jim -- Web Admin for Corsham Diary http://corshamdiary.org.uk - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Any thoughts on this? You could use Cacti to poll, as a part of each check you do, have it append to a file, a database, some type of persistent storage, and then have a another script that runs, either via cron or as a daemon, that pulls events from the persistent store and submits them to Nagios as passive checks using NSCA ... or have the checks themselves call send_nsca to submit the checks to Nagios over the wire ... I know that doesn't give you an all Cacti solution, but this is a Nagios group :). Have you thought about using distributed Nagios as another solution to this problem? Finally, if you make use of perfdata and use PNP or another graphing framework add-on to Nagios, you can pretty much replace Cacti altogether for graphing and reduce the double polling that happens when Cacti and Nagios are checking the same sets of devices ... - Max - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] MOM - Nagios connector
Has anyone played with this MOM/Nagios connector? http://tinyurl.com/hjzjw From the webpage The MOM to Nagios allows you to send alerts to/from MOM to/from Nagios. This is a bi-directional connector. Here is a page telling how it works http://tinyurl.com/fckdd a snippet from the last URL: Justification: eXc Software knows that using Microsoft Operations Manager as an enterprise management tool is all you really need to operate your data center(s) since eXc Software provides pure Windows solutions for managing the non-Windows environment. Combine that with the unparalleled monitoring power for Windows servers and Microsoft Operations Manager becomes the only tool you really need. We realize however that you might have invested time and money into other similar tools. Maybe you are in the process of migrating from a different tool to Microsoft Operations Manager or you want both to be operational simultaneously. This is where the eXc Software connector framework comes into play. By combining several component architectures/tools, eXc Software is able to provide uni-directional and bi-directional connectors at a reasonable price. Benefits: The benefits of using the eXc Software connector solution(s) vs. our competitors are: 1. Cost 2. Our solution is highly customizable (without the need to recompile programs) 3. Our solution is fault tolerant 4. Our solution is always a pure Windows solution Don't let other companies convince you that you have to spend a lot of money to get MOM talking to other solutions! Why is it that we can provide the same functionality at a fraction of the cost? Our solution is built on top of existing tools and products that Microsoft provides for free and that we have already built. These tools and products are: 1. The MOM Connector Framework (MCF) provided with MOM 2. The eXc Software non-Windows WMI Event Provider 3. The eXc Software SNMP MOM helper objects If you have a connector requirement that we do not have, please contact us and typically we will build it at no cost to you! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Graphing Switch Ports
While you would have to grab data from them all, you might be able to find or write a check that checks all ports and returns all as perfdata .. and if nagiosgrapher doesn't work with that well, PNP will let you do a nice template or that probably would work ... You could also divide the check up so that there is a check per switch blade, might be a nice logical division, so instead of 200 checks you have 200/(# ports per blade) ... - Max - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Graphing Switch Ports
You probably want to use something other than Nagios for this. I use cacti http://www.cacti.net to graph several hundred network devices. You can use the extened info field to link back to cacti for the host you selected in nagios (manual process to set up per host because most of cacti references devices by an ID not the hostname). Or, it's a lot trickier but you could modify extinfo cgi to point to cacti for that host and access the info from the Host Information links (very difficult).

Re: [Nagios-users] Graphing Switch Ports

I use cacti http://www.cacti.net to graph several hundred network devices. You can use the extened info field to link back to cacti for the host you selected in nagios (manual process to set up per host because most of cacti references devices by an ID not the hostname). Or, it's a lot trickier but you could modify extinfo cgi to point to cacti for that host and access the info from the Host Information links (very difficult). Wish I had kept the patch I did to Cacti that let one use a URL with a host=name parameter to easily link to the graph page for a Cacti host .. crud .. not difficult to add this functionality to Cacti though so you can use the action_url or notes_url attributes of the host (or hostextinfo objects if in Nagios 2) to link to Cacti hosts. if you do go the Cacti route, I have an immature but working project that can help integrate information between Cacti and Nagios .. http://cacinda.sf.net/ - Max - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Nagios-users] Can Cacti poll passively via Nagios client?
There are two ways I've used to accomplish this. The first method I used was having Cacti poll data then use a RRD check plugin to get the last data and alert if it triggered an alarm. The latest method I've used which needs some additional work is to use the Cacti plugin Thold to trigger a breach of a threshold. I think use Nagios to access the mySQL database and check the thold table if the alert is triggered or not (check_cacti_thold). Placing your database somewhere both systems can access will get you to where you want. The main reason I do this is because Cacti provides a much more time reliable polling mechanism unlike Nagios's scheduling.

Since Nagios has a problem with a high numbers of active checks, I'm hoping to use Cacti's poller to tell servers buried behind firewalls to check neighboring internal devices and then report back to the centralized Cacti servers in my colo. Any thoughts on this? You could use Cacti to poll, as a part of each check you do, have it append to a file, a database, some type of persistent storage, and then have a another script that runs, either via cron or as a daemon, that pulls events from the persistent store and submits them to Nagios as passive checks using NSCA ... or have the checks themselves call send_nsca to submit the checks to Nagios over the wire ... I know that doesn't give you an all Cacti solution, but this is a Nagios group :). Have you thought about using distributed Nagios as another solution to this problem? Finally, if you make use of perfdata and use PNP or another graphing framework add-on to Nagios, you can pretty much replace Cacti altogether for graphing and reduce the double polling that happens when Cacti and Nagios are checking the same sets of devices ... - Max - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
