Subject: [Nagios-users] analog nagios transmitter

Anyone know of a dirt-simple analog device that can take ANY red
status's from nagios and
transmit the signal to some visible device?

Details: We have a medium nagios install on a closed network and wish
to have it transmit
a  "something is wrong" message to some device not on the network. We
are further
constrained by what kind of a signal it can be so it must be just a 1
or 0. 1 Lights up
a red light indicating we need to go to another building and look at
nagios ie ANY
host/service is down should trigger this.

TIA

Hi Thomas,

thank you for this valuable hint. I will test my setup in the next days,
how it's behaviour is, if i send some long input with NSCA to the
NSCA-Daemon on nagios
server at the same time.

best regards
Thomas

Hi Marc,

I have a simila requirement here. As i refer before, i have change the two
values in common.h (NSCA) and nagios.h (Nagios) to synchronize the
MAX_INPUT Buffers to 7168 Byte.
Then I recompiled all NSCA-Versions (Linux and Windows), Nagios and wrote
my own plugins for some
checks which produce one output line like:

check test OK = host ahost bhost chost d

The Nagios-GUI interpret the HTML-Tag and show your multiple lines if the
corresponding switch in cgi.cfg
is set. (escape_html=0)
In my case are round about 15 lines possible.

best regards
Thomas

Re: [Nagios-users] Easier way to make nagios send mail as different user?

Drew, are you trying to customize the outgoing mail so that it _appears_ 
the mail is coming from a different user, or so that the mail is 
actually being emitted by a user other than the one running your nagios 
daemon?  I'm guessing it's the former...

> Write a wrapper which allows mail to be sent with normal headers

No need to write anything - just use a different/better MUA.  For 
example, I use mutt (in mailx mode) in a notification command, something 
like:

> /usr/bin/printf "$MACROS_YOU_WANT_IN_THE_MESSAGE_BODY" |/usr/bin/mutt -x -s 
> "$MACROS_YOU_WANT_IN_THE_SUBJECT" $CONTACTEMAIL

...and then in a .muttrc for the nagios user, add a 'set from=' to match 
the pretty name of the user from whom I want the mail to appear to have 
originated.  The bonus with this arrangement is that it gives me the 
opportunity to tweak additional settings on mail notifications, for 
example to set custom headers, inside .muttrc:

> set hdrs
> my_hdr X-Nagios: alert
> my_hdr X-Priority: 1

...etc.  Depending on what you're actually shooting for, you may also 
need to make some adjustments to the local MTA configuration, but if 
your goal is to change the superficial appearance of the mail, the above 
might be sufficient.

Yes :)

Although when running as a non-root user you may need to add the user to
the trusted-users for this switch to work, or something equivalent if
you're not using sendmail.

A value of 4096 will likely work well in Linux as pipes guarantee that
this many bytes can be written at once in that OS. POSIX requires 512
bytes so this may vary between operating systems (PIPE_BUF should tell
you what the limit is).

Anything larger will likely cause fragments to be lost and/or
interleaved (the latter can happen if you have multiple writers at the
same time). See pipe(7) for more details.

The proper fix would bu using PROCESS_FILE instead to load long output.

No, not until you provide the information that's already been asked  
for. That will pretty much eliminate common problems. You're  
essentially asking us to make wild guesses based on no information and  
keep trying when they're wrong. It's a waste of time for all of us.  
I've seen 2 of the 10 in this thread; nrpe version and (no) nrpe debug  
output.

is check_total_procs readable / executable by the nagios user at the

[Nagios-users] nagiosgraph plot no data, only "nan"

2008-05-28 Thread Anna Liu
I have nagiosgraph set up on nagios.   The plotting is working on services 
for local system, but not  on the remote systems' services.

Here is the nagiosgraph debug log for a service "biwofe_CPU".   All values 
are "nan" since yesterday.   I did many tries, at one time it showed only 
one data set plot.  no continuous data were generated and plotted.   I 
removed all files in rrd directory and restarted the nagios service. From 
the log I couldn't tell where could be the problem.   Spent one whole day 
and still couldn't move forward.Appreciate if someone can help!

NRPE provides a debug option for problems such as this. There could be  
many causes and you haven't provided any information to say which. If  
you need further assistance, please detail

NRPE version
How installed (source or package; which package)
How is it being run (inetd, xinetd, daemon)
(x)inetd configuration if that's being used.
any (x)inetd errors being generated if that's being used.
NRPE debug output when check is executed.
NRPE configuration for the command
Example test run of the check_total_procs command run on the  
destination host as the NRPE user.
and, last but certainly not least, any troubleshooting/googleing  
you've already done so that we don't repeat the ground you've already  
covered.

I did the the same thing the other day.

Make sure the nrpe.cfg is readable by the nrpe daemon.
Make sure that the path to the command is correct.

AFAIK, you're in uncharted territory. Based on what I've seen, the  
longer output support has only really been applied to active commands  
but the documentation does indicate that support for passive results  
is there. NSCA hasn't been updated to handle multi-line output as  
you've seen nor have I seen any talk that it's coming soon. I also  
expect that you might see problems using the normal mechanism of  
writing the check results to the external command _pipe_ due to OS  
size limitations there (~1K typically). I expect that would only be a  
problem with large data returns (nagios internally supports $OUTPUT$ +  
$LONGOUTPUT$ of about ~4K). At this point I think you're going to have  
to roll your own check result return mechanism that either writes  
appropriately sized commands to the external pipe or larger ones to a  
file and uses the external command PROCESS_FILE to reap the results.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSCA and long output

2008-05-28 Thread Aaron Mills
What I'm really trying to get is multi-line output. Nagios/NRPE supports
this (v3.x) e.g.:

TEXT OUTPUT | OPTIONAL PERFDATA
LONG TEXT LINE 1
LONG TEXT LINE 2

This works for NRPE, but not with NSCA, since NSCA can only take a
single line as an argument.

What I'm trying to achieve is sending process monitoring data back
passively like so:

PROCS OK:
Proc1: 3 processes running
Proc2: 1 process running
Proc3: 1 process running

Any ideas?

Looking at the NSCA sources, common.h has:

#define MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH   512

I'm guessing that's the issue right there.  The first thing I'd try is
to bump that up to 4096, and recompile send_nsca and nsca.  I haven't
looked very carefully at the source or tried this myself, but it seems
like a good place to start.

[Nagios-users] stop check

2008-05-28 Thread André Moura
Hi,

I'm running Nagios 3.01, after the restart of process in the  web interface,

some services have stopped check.

The restart of nagios process was at 4:44PM in  05/26.
after the restart he checked the services until the 11:57PM,
but in  05/27 he did not check any further.

What may have occurred?

[Nagios-users] analog nagios transmitter

2008-05-28 Thread dave stern - e-mail.pluribus.unum
Anyone know of a dirt-simple analog device that can take ANY red
status's from nagios and
transmit the signal to some visible device?

Details: We have a medium nagios install on a closed network and wish
to have it transmit
a  "something is wrong" message to some device not on the network. We
are further
constrained by what kind of a signal it can be so it must be just a 1
or 0. 1 Lights up
a red light indicating we need to go to another building and look at
nagios ie ANY
host/service is down should trigger this.

TIA

If you take a moment to read and understand the command, it's sending
the output of a printf statement (basically fancy echo) to the
command /usr/bin/mail, which specifies a subject (-s) of "**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is
$SERVICESTATE$ **" to the e-mail address $CONTACTEMAIL$. The shell has
no understanding of what the $MACROS$ are so they evaluate to $.
Because of this you just sent an e-mail to the e-mail address '$' --

[logs]$ echo $CONTACTEMAIL$
$
[logs]$

Nagios substitutes appropriate values for the $MACROS$ _before_
running the command.

If you're going to test like this --

1) Test as the nagios user, not root. Nagios doesn't run as root and
doesn't execute this command as root.
2) Substitute reasonable values for all the $MACROS$ above when testing.

As for your general problem, verify that nagios is logging
notifications in nagios.log. Verify that your SMTP server logs running
on localhost show receipt from nagios and delivery to destination. If
you do not see the former, your notification configuration for your
host/service/or contact is incorrect. If you see receipt of the
message from nagios in your SMTP server logs but no delivery, the logs
should detail why.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Not Receiving Notifications

Dear All,

I'm running Nagios 3.0.2, although I (assume) I configured everything correctly 
for the notifications,
I'm not receiving any.
My email address is typed correctly in the contacts cfg file.

Where should I start troubleshooting ?

Regards,

Tim Van Caeyzeele

Notification methods are determined on a per-contact basis so use a  
contact that doesn't specify sms notifications. Alternately, change  
your notification script so that it ignores sms notification attempts  
for this host.

Thanks a lot Andreas - this was exactly the reason.
Since I use a self-hacked version of Monarch for administrating nagios 
3.0,
I just missed the fact that it activates stalking for hosts by default on
templates...

Just to let you know, we are working in a report module to be released in the 
next 3 months or so. The module (OpReports for Nagios) will be fully integrated 
with Nagios and allow you to generate SLA and SLM reports with all features 
described here, including what we call a "vertical and horizontal cuts".

[Nagios-users] Easier way to make nagios send mail as different user?

2008-05-28 Thread Drew Weaver
The two ways I've come up with to make nagios send 
notifications as a different user are:

Write a wrapper which allows mail to be sent with normal headers or run nagios 
as a different user, are there any different options? The mail command in 
linux/unix appears to be a little bit limited without a parameter to specify 
the from address.

Any advice?

[Nagios-users] Massive HOST UP alerts in nagios.log for no reason

2008-05-28 Thread Sascha . Runschke
Hi all,

ever since I started building up our new nagios environment under nagios 
3.0, I noticed that my
logfile contains massive amounts of HOST UP alerts - even though the host 
was never down before.
Actually I seem to have this log entry each time a host is checked, I 
guess they get checked for
the predictive and cache host tests. But sadly it's getting a real pain, 
since the logfile is growing
so big, that my firefox even crashes when I try to view it with the 
webinterface.
My daily nagios.log has the massive amount of roundabout 110.000 entries 
each day - which is
little bit too much for its 400 hosts / 1600 services imho. Nearly the 
same checks (actually a few
less, but whatever) produce roundabout 10.000 lines of log on our nagios 
2.11 server each day.

The culprit seems to be:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] archives]# egrep "HOST ALERT:.*UP;HARD" 
nagios-05-28-2008-00.log  | wc -l
97716

So I have 97716 entries each day looking like:

[1211844162] HOST ALERT: sw-00-o2;UP;HARD;1;OK - 1.2.3.4: rta 1,069ms, 
lost 0%

with the hostname of course being always different - every host comes up 
every minute.

Does anyone have any clue if this is intended behaviour or what I may have 
done wrong?

S

i did a reboot of the machine but nothing changed,
I dont see a notice that the active checks are disabled.
When I manually run a check it shows the correct values.
How can I debug this?

thx a lot

I personally prefer assigning the hostgroups from the host definition,
using the "hostgroups" variable.

You can also put it in a template is you already have one per hostgroup,
which will avoid having to repeat that line for each host in the hostgroup.

[Nagios-users] VMWare Infrastructure monitoring

2008-05-28 Thread Sascha . Runschke
Hi all,

I've recently spent some time again on thinking about our VMWare 
Infrastructure (ESX clusters) and
its monitoring. I'd like to hear some opinions from the list, how others 
implemented the monitoring.

Currently my setup is as follows:

- 3 ESX clusters with 6 hosts each
- 100 VMs per cluster

My current approach:

The first cluster for example is defined as host "essesx-cluster" with 6 
services ESX01, ESX02, ESX03.
Those services are check_icmp checks on the IP of the service console of 
each ESX host.
The hostcheck of the "essesx-cluster" host is then:

check_cluster --service -w 1 -c 1 -d 
$SERVICESTATEID:essesx-cluster:ESX01$,
$SERVICESTATEID:essesx-cluster:ESX02$,$SERVICESTATEID:essesx-cluster:ESX03$,
$SERVICESTATEID:essesx-cluster:ESX04$,$SERVICESTATEID:essesx-cluster:ESX05$,
$SERVICESTATEID:essesx-cluster:ESX06$ 

All VMs are childs of their corresponding cluster host.
The ESX hosts itself are not monitored as hosts, just as services of the 
cluster.

What do you think about that approach? Is it sophisticated or rather dumb? 
I have to admit that I am
a bit clueless right now, as it looks quite weird. Does anyone see any 
problems with that appoach?

/discuss

regards
Sascha

If you want something done, do it yourself ;-)

It should, but if spaces are allowed as parts of object identifiers,
they must still be disallowed at the start and end of such identifiers,
or there will be no sane way to separate variables from values (unless
we force tabs there, which will break a lot of people's configurations).

[Nagios-users] FW: Re: Nagios 3.0 SLA Reporting

2008-05-28 Thread Bo Philip Larsen

Have you been looking at iReport and JasperServer/JasperReport form 
http://jasperforge.org/sf/projects/ireport it's a good alternative to Crystal 
Reports.

In the past we have been looking at SLA reporting out of nagios with NDO, but 
unfortunately we had to stall this project for some time.

Regards,

Bo

I figured something like that. My boss insists that there must be something out 
there as there must be other companies with the same problem. That might be 
true, but it is likely that other companies saw that there was nothing and 
built their own solution, but never made it available publically.

Using the GUI to record a downtime is much easier than what we do now. Even if 
it is in the past, it still appears in nagios.log and grepping for 
SCHEDULE_SVC_DOWNTIME for the given host/service pair is pretty 
straightforward. Perhaps the "long term" solution would be to change the code 
(commands.c???) so that each time a downtime is entered it is stored in a DB 
table at the same time it is written to the command file. At that point all of 
the checks have been done and all we should need to do is parse the output line 
and do a DB insert.

I am curious what you use for the actual reporting. Does the "DB interogation 
script" simply pull the data out of the DB or does it do any reformating? We 
have been looking at using Crystal Reports, but we currently still have the 
problem with the outages, but if we figure out how to get it into the DB we 
should be OK.

Regards,

Jim Mohr

Yes that's right. I use this since a couple of days. But you have to
check the value in nagios source code (include/nagios.h) too.
It muste be at least the same or higher.
