Re: [Nagios-users] Problem: Server is UP??
I really need some help with this guys. My setup was working for the longest time and I can't think of any changes made to it that would cause this behavior. I get random (and quite annoying!) Nagios alerts that say Problem: $SERVER is UP! (with the actual host name) or sometimes it just literally says Problem: HOST is UP. Note, this only happens during my off hours time. I've never seen this during the day. You have probably configured your contact details to send a RECOVERY alert for hosts when it is out of hours. This means you will get a 'host is UP' alert when the host status changes to UP. Your message format probably prepends the 'Problem: ' to it. Admittedly your configuration doesn't look like this is there. I suppose you should check the message header and make sure it really originated on your host, and check you don't have two versions of Nagios running (did you have and old or test instance set up that might be sending these emails?)

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications
For free sms you can use icq sms (if available for your country) I have connected a cell phone (nokia) to a windows xp box... Installed nokia pc suit Installed Microsoft sms sender Enabled telnet on the windows box Created a BAT file with the sms sender syntax Used BAT2EXE to convert the file to exe Created a expect script on the linux BOX to telnet to the windows and execute the sms script. My opinion is that using a cell phone is better than some external SMS gateway... Because if your internet fails.. how will you reach the external SMS gateway? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Shipway Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 09:31 To: 'Nagios Users Mailinglist' Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications On Jun 16, 2008, at 11:06 AM, Luc MAIGNAN wrote: Isn't there a free way to send SMS via Nagios ?

[Nagios-users] Problem with timeperiods with exact days (Nagios 3.0)
Hello,
I am using nagios-3.0 (with a patched trends.cgi from 3.0.1). Yesterday,
I added easter dates to german holidays (etc/objects/timeperiods.cfg):
define timeperiod{
namede-holidays
timeperiod_name de-holidays
alias German Holidays
january 1 00:00-00:00 ; Neujahr
january 6 00:00-00:00 ; Heilige drei Koenige
may 1 00:00-00:00 ; Maifeiertag
october 3 00:00-00:00 ; Tag d. dt. Einheit
november 1 00:00-00:00 ; Allerheiligen
december 25 00:00-00:00 ; 1. Weihnachtstag
december 26 00:00-00:00 ; 2. Weihnachtstag
2009-04-10 00:00-00:00 ; Karfreitag
2009-04-13 00:00-00:00 ; Ostermontag
2009-05-21 00:00-00:00 ; Christi Himmelfahrt
2009-06-01 00:00-00:00 ; Pfingstmontag
2009-06-11 00:00-00:00 ; Fronleichnam
... (2010/2011/2012 added as well)
}
However, if I look in the WEB interface under View Config -Object
Type: Timeperiods, I get a different list: Months are off by minus 2:
de-holidays German Holidays ...
...
2009-04-11 00:00:00 - 00:00:00
2009-04-01 00:00:00 - 00:00:00
2009-03-21 00:00:00 - 00:00:00
2009-02-13 00:00:00 - 00:00:00
2009-02-10 00:00:00 - 00:00:00
(instead of 2009-06-11 appears 2009-04-11 a.s.o).
Somethings is wrong here. I think the web interface should increment the
internal representation by 1 (internal month 0-11 means jan-dec), but
this does not explain the offset 2.
According to the Changlog, I cannot see that this has been fixed in
3.0.2 (or has it).

Reiner

[Nagios-users] Monitoring large (ish) numbers of servers with exceptions to the rules...
Hi All, I currently help maintain and monitor around 50 servers across various parts of the UK using Nagios 2. At the moment, we have a configuration file for each host (%hostname%.cfg) and in that file we specify all the services for the named host. We are trying to reduce the number of configuration files as we take on more and more servers becuase there are a large number checks that we need to be rolled out to all servers and we feel that we are duplicating our workload. I'm open to ideas on how to achieve this however my thoughts were a setup along the lines of the following: - A master host template is created in which all services are defined for a host. - If a check does not need to be run for a given host (for example it is not a web server), a stanza is added to that particular host's config file that effectively tells nagios don't check for this service on this host I've tried defining all the services in a master templates file and this works perfectly however when I come to exclude certain services, I am at a loss on how to do it. Initially I tried adding a stanza with the same service name and register 0 as one of the options, however this didn't work. We have used HostGroups in the past to achieve a similar goal, however we ran into the issue that whilst we need to check the CPU Usage on all of the servers, a few of the servers that we monitor can take a lot more of a beating than the majority. This lead to us defining the CPU checks on a per-host basis as if we defined it separately from the hostgroup for the more powerful servers we we presented with a load of errors regarding duplicate service names. I hope I've made myself clear on what we're after and I look forward to receiving your input on this.

I currently help maintain and monitor around 50 servers across various
parts of the UK using Nagios 2. At the moment, we have a
configuration
file for each host (%hostname%.cfg) and in that file we specify all
the
services for the named host.
We are trying to reduce the number of configuration files as we take
on
more and more servers because there are a large number checks that we
need to be rolled out to all servers and we feel that we are
duplicating our workload.
I'm open to ideas on how to achieve this however my thoughts were a
setup along the lines of the following:
- A master host template is created in which all services are
defined
for a host.
- If a check does not need to be run for a given host (for example it
is not a web server), a stanza is added to that particular host's
config file that effectively tells nagios don't check for this
service on this host
I've tried defining all the services in a master templates file and
this works perfectly however when I come to exclude certain services,
I
am at a loss on how to do it.
Initially I tried adding a stanza with the same service name and
register 0 as one of the options, however this didn't work.
We have used HostGroups in the past to achieve a similar goal, however
we ran into the issue that whilst we need to check the CPU Usage on

errors regarding duplicate service names.
I hope I've made myself clear on what we're after and I look forward
to
receiving your input on this.
One thing that I use in the configuration that I maintain is to have
something like this:
define service{
use generic-hung-mounts
hostgroup_name experiments
hosts !lfc0448
contact_groups experiments
}
where lcg0448 is a host in host group experiments and I want to
apply the generic-hung-mounts check to all hosts in that group except
for lcg0448.
This can lead to configuration like this:
define service{
use check-pbs-offline
hostgroup_name workers
hosts !lcg0614,!lcg0617,!lcg0618,!lcg0626
contact_groups tier1a
}
define service{
use check-pbs-offline
hosts lcg0614,lcg0617,lcg0618,lcg0626
contact_groups tier1a,grid-team
}
where the only difference is that the hosts in the second definition
have a second contact group.

Re: [Nagios-users] About check_udp plugin
Hello, I just want to confirm that whether the UDP 161 port is available not . We don't need to know if the service is up or not. Like you mentioned , I think the best way is to access to the agent. However, is there any plugin that just confirms that the UDP 161 port is available or not ? If no, I will use the check_snmp and access to the agent.

Is this not the write way to use it ? It depends on what you consider useful. It's entirely possible for a port to establish a connection but not actually be working at higher levels (i.e. answering queries). In your case, you've only determined that there's something listening on the port, not that it's snmpd, actually working or returning data you expect. IMHO, if there's a higher level test that's possible like check_snmp in this case, that will be a more accurate and useful test. -- Marc - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Thanks for looking into this
The only other thing I can possibly think of is the pattern of this
indicates that it's only doing this for Solaris servers which are
using the NRPE out of Blastwave... could this be caused by NRPE?

[Nagios-users] Request to test pst3 on solaris systems
Hi! This is a request to test the latest pst3 in the nagiosplugins snapshot. My colleague, Duncan Ferguson, has been making some optimisations so that is runs much faster on systems with a large number of processes - on a Solaris 10 server with multiple zones, it runs about 94% faster! I've just committed a change where a possible segfault was fixed. Best way to get the change is via a snapshot when it next runs at http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot I'd be interested if the before and after output is the same (within reason), with timings and number of processes and which Solaris versions.

No, don't try that. Python is a great language, I code in it myself, but...
1. It is not portable across windows systems without installing add-ons
2. It checks *LINUX* software raid, not windows software raid.

[Nagios-users] Newbie question about nagios and snmp
Hi all, I have about 15 servers to monitor, some of them are windows and the rest run Debian. To do so, I have installed Nagios to send me alarms and cacti to show graphs and historical data. The things I'd like to monitor, for the time being are very basic CPU usage, disk space, ... To monitor the remote servers I've installed the snmp daemon. In cacti I have everything running, but there is a thing in nagios that I don't know how to do. I'd like to monitor the available space in the server partions and not in the disks. 1.- So I should create a service for each partition and define a hostgroup? or there is a way to say check all the partitions and shout if the available space is lower than 10%? 2.- Is there a way to ask the free disk of / instead of /dev/sda1? thanks all -- Arnau - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Nagios-users] Install difficulty
Yes. I could be going down the wrong path but, how does the Nagios install know what the document root of the webserver is?

Re: [Nagios-users] How to monitor windows software raid
Ops sorry ,
I lost the windows part , my mistake. I will be looking for some
alternative ; again sorry for this.
As alternative, there is a place called windows script center and I
think that there would be an script in order to check sofwate raid on
windows, or some example in order to get this information, I would
advise to look in that repository.
Again my apologies

Re: [Nagios-users] check_hpasm error
Hi Tom, UNKNOWN - hanging hpasmdcli processes check_hpasm executes the hpasmcli command which connects to the hpasmd daemon. If this daemon becomes unresponsive, hpasmcli just hangs. The next run of check_hpasm detects this hanging process and exits with the above error message. It would not make sense for the plugin to continue, as another hpasmcli would also hang. I don't know the reason why the daemon stops responding. Maybe an update of the system BIOS helps. In case of such an alert the only known workaround is to restart hpasm with /etc/init.d/hpasm restart. Gerhard Does anyone know of a workaround to this apart from perhaps increasing the retry attempts for this service to try and catch it in a good state before the alarm triggers? thanks -- --- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Nagios-users] How to monitor windows software raid
Hi Rene, Sorry for joining this response late, For checking Software RAID on Windows the best way is to use a Windows Plug in that gives connectivity to a standard widows location of the data you need. With that said, I recommend NC_Net (not only because I wrote it but also since it provides mechanism for retrieval using several of the methods hinted to in this thread. 1) using Windows Event log, there are several plugins that allow for checking windows event log (including NC_NEt) 2) Writing a script or executable, There are several plugins that allow this as well (including NC_NEt and NRPE) 3) Writing a WMI query , ( NC_net has this as well but there are also some scripts under NRPE that can do this) 4) you may be able to configure Notification on degraded RAID to submit via NSCA, and then again on recovery 5) you may be able to configure a Submit by email on Degraded/Recover RAID (I have not tried this) 6) you may be able to configure SNMP on the software RAID (I have not tried this) then check by SNMP For options 4,5,6 you may want to look into viotile service checks (see Nagios Manual) Good Luck, Tony (Author of NC_Net) On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 3:32 AM, Rene Fertig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Hari.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring large (ish) numbers of servers with exceptions to the rules...
Hi,
Using REgExp and Object Templats is a key for optimizing maintenance.
I read some good details on handling what needs to be configured and what
can be inhereted and automatically associated in the current Nagios 3
Documentation. I think much of the framework was in Nagios 2, but the
documentaiton is a bit easier to read in nagios 3 so look at that for some
tips. then check the nagios 2 docs to see if the option is also in there.
A few years ago I converted a nagios 1.2 were all hosts and services were
defined in a single to file to a scalable configuration similar to what was
initialy described here.
I found that if you have a need of suporting different clients with daily
changes it was convient to have one Config directory for each clinet then in
that directory have a single host file, and for each host a seperate Config
file.
on a host being removed it is just a matter of removing it from the Host
file configuration and renaming its Config file.
on adding a new host is was only adding it to the host file, then adding
copy an existing service file and then cut and past to get all the services
defined.
then maintain the entire directory substructer through CVS or some other
version controle.
This as noted does get tedious to maintain, but it alows for customization
of services per host without much thinking.
The Disadvantage of this is the time involved for maintaining, when there
are few changes getting made.
OTHER options using templates work well,
setting up Inheritance, using REG EXP as well as , other techniques using
HostGroups all assist with orginizing the files but depending on skill
levels somtimes lead to less readability (Whle for other admins it would
lead to easier maintenance)
Hope this helps,

I currently help maintain and monitor around 50 servers across various
parts of the UK using Nagios 2. At the moment, we have a
configuration
file for each host (%hostname%.cfg) and in that file we specify all
the
services for the named host.
We are trying to reduce the number of configuration files as we take
on
more and more servers because there are a large number checks that we
need to be rolled out to all servers and we feel that we are
duplicating our workload.
I'm open to ideas on how to achieve this however my thoughts were a
setup along the lines of the following:
- A master host template is created in which all services are
defined
for a host.
- If a check does not need to be run for a given host (for example it
is not a web server), a stanza is added to that particular host's
config file that effectively tells nagios don't check for this
service on this host
I've tried defining all the services in a master templates file and
this works perfectly however when I come to exclude certain services,
I
am at a loss on how to do it.
Initially I tried adding a stanza with the same service name and
register 0 as one of the options, however this didn't work.
We have used HostGroups in the past to achieve a similar goal, however
we ran into the issue that whilst we need to check the CPU Usage on
all
of the servers, a few of the servers that we monitor can take a lot
more of a beating than the majority. This lead to us defining the CPU
checks on a per-host basis as if we defined it separately from the
hostgroup for the more powerful servers we presented with a load of
errors regarding duplicate service names.
I hope I've made myself clear on what we're after and I look forward
to
receiving your input on this.
One thing that I use in the configuration that I maintain is to have
something like this:
define service{
use generic-hung-mounts
hostgroup_name experiments
hosts !lfc0448
contact_groups experiments
}
where lcg0448 is a host in host group experiments and I want to
apply the generic-hung-mounts check to all hosts in that group except
for lcg0448.
This can lead to configuration like this:
define service{
use check-pbs-offline
hostgroup_name workers
hosts !lcg0614,!lcg0617,!lcg0618,!lcg0626
contact_groups tier1a
}
define service{
use check-pbs-offline
hosts lcg0614,lcg0617,lcg0618,lcg0626
contact_groups tier1a,grid-team
}
where the only difference is that the hosts in the second definition
have a second contact group.

[Nagios-users] Custom Status Field strings and warning levels
Hi all, I would like to format the data returned from check commands in the status information field of the GUI. For example, I would like to add text after the check command has returned only an integer value, or another example I have brought up previously, divide the result by say 1024 to view in KB (when returned in bytes) or MB (when returned in KB). Any ideas? I am using COUNTERs with check_nt (NSClient++) on RHEL 4 server running Nagios v3.0.1 with the latest plugins. I have tried different combinations of the description field: check_nt!COUNTER!-l \\Memory\\Available MBytes,%%.f Physical Memory Available check_nt!COUNTER!-l \\Memory\\Available MBytes,%%.2f Physical Memory Available check_nt!COUNTER!-l \\Memory\\Available MBytes,%%.f Physical Memory Available All of these return at least one percent sign, and no value, such as: %f Physical Memory Available If I leave out the description field (check_nt!COUNTER!-l \\Memory\\Available MBytes) then I get a correct integer value. I would like the GUI to show (assuming a server / machine with 2gb memory and has available 1348MB: 1348 available out of 2048 or maybe even use a percentage of available as is in the built-in Memory Usage command, but this looks at the page file, not physical memory. On another note, since I am using a large amount of COUNTER defs to check Windows servers, can someone tell me how to set the warning and critical in the check_nt!COUNTER! command? Say the available memory in the above example reaches below 500, I want a warning, and below 250 a critical. Thanks in advance, Izz - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Ok...I guess I should have played around a bit more before posting. The -w and -c switches work accordingly for the COUNTER defs.
