Re: [Nagios-users] selectively disable notifications for services inheriting a specific template?
Have you looked at service dependencies ? http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/dependencies.html It sounds like this is what you need. Assaf On Thursday 22 January 2009 02:21:55 Owen LaGarde wrote: I essentially want to disable only notifications, only when a specific service check fails, only for services inheriting a specific template. And I'm lazy, and don't want to double the size of my config for this one function. I'm using nagios 3.0.2 and nagios-plugins 1.4.12 with a large (1000 hosts/services) configuration. Most (800+) of the services use a check_remote custom plugin to tunnel network calls [ie., to plugins on other hosts] within kerberos authenticated and encrypted sessions. That kerberos activity requires a ticket cache containing a TGT; said cache is maintained by a custom event broker module and said TGT's presence is monitored by a service definition referencing a custom check_krbtgt plugin. This has worked great so far -- no race conditions, clean start/restart/refresh cycles for the cache and TGT, scales well, etc. For a number of policy reasons all service definitions use active checks. When the TGT check fails it logically follows that all service checks using the check_remote plugin have or are about to fail. This is desirable behavior -- depending on the nature of the kerberos TGT problem there are a number of check_remote failure messages and these need to be captured in the event log, so I *don't* want to block *any* checks from running. But... If it's the TGT check that's failed then the notifications for everything except the TGT failure are inappropriate and should be blocked. In effect I want to cause a specific service check's failure to disable notifications for a large (800+) number of other service checks but I don't want to nearly double the size of the config tree and have that much more text to wade through when maintaining the nagios configuration. Remember, I need the checks that are about to fail because of the TGT failure to go on and run, and fail, and log their events and perfdata. It's just the notifications that should be stopped, and only then if the originating service use-es the remote-active-service template.

Re: [Nagios-users] Recommended Plugin for Monitoring iptables
Hi Marc -- Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the script, and I am currently testing it. I had to make one modification within the script: The -S argument is not known by the version, 1.3.8, of iptables on the server in question, so I replaced it with the -L argument. One question to all members who have used the script: Is the script designed to run in the background, or is it simply invoked by Nagios and then closed when it is done running? The reason I ask is I am manually running it, and it does not immediately close.

[Nagios-users] re-execute an event handler just in case the service stays DOWN
Hi, I would like one event handler to be re-executed just in case it failed for the first time. The docs (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html) say you don't want that, but I am fairly confident that I want it in this case. I have a nagios host in a unattended site which generally gets its internet access from the site network. In case of a site network failure, the host needs to dial in to the Internet via modem to be reachable for debugging purposes. The nagios installation monitors a host on the Internet and has an event handler connected with this host which will initiate the dial-up when the Internet host goes into a HARD DOWN state. I would like this event handler to be re-executed in case the dial-up connection doesn't come up or goes down _before_ nagios has detected that the Internet host is UP again. Is there any way to accomplish this or am I better of with a cronjob which will initiate the dial-up from outside nagios? Any hints will be appreciated., Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Hi Marc,

Let me tell you the need :
I have to open http://ww12.1800flowers.com/signin.do and enter my
email(svenugop...@gmail.com) and password(podhum) in order to login.
Looking at the source of the page, the sign-in form has the following
pertinent fields --
input type=text name=email maxlength=100 value= style=width:
120px class=textfield
input type=password name=password maxlength=64 value=

The field names that would be passed as the POST are 'email' and
'password'. Now, I don't know what command{} definitions you have for
check_http or how they're configured so I'll show you how to create a
new one very specific to this test --

email=svenugop...@gmail.compassword=podhum
}
Set that as the check_command for a service associated with the host
and nagios will verify that the web server does not return an HTTP
error after login. Note that if your server returns a standard 200
response indicating OK even if there is a login error (most likely),
you'll want to identify a word or string of text that should appear in
the page after successful login, but not for a failure, and look for
that with the -s parameter --

Re: [Nagios-users] Windows disk health monitoring with smartmontoolsl/NSClient++?
I've hacked something together that seems to work using WSH and WMI (no
smartmontools).
It displays the following for the Service State Information:
Current Status: OK (for 0d 0h 14m 52s)
Status Information:SMART Status is OK
Performance Data:WDC WD1500HLFS-01G6U0 139 GB
In nsc.ini on the client, I've made the following changes:
uncommented NRPEListener.dll
added to [External Scripts]
check_smart_disk0=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo C:\Program
Files\NSClient++\scripts\smart.vbs 0
check_smart_disk1=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo C:\Program
Files\NSClient++\scripts\smart.vbs 1
The file smart.vbs contains:
set args = wscript.arguments
drive = Cint(args(0))
strComputer = .
Set objWMIService = GetObject(winmgmts: _
{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\ strComputer _
\root\cimv2)
Set diskset = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
(Select * from Win32_DiskDrive)
For Each disk in diskset
If disk.index = drive Then
Select Case Disk.Status
Case OK
WScript.Echo SMART Status is OK| Disk.Model
Int(Disk.Size/1073741824) GB
WScript.Quit(0)
Case Else
Wscript.Echo SMART Status is Disk.Status
Wscript.quit(1)
End Select
End If
next
There are actually a bunch of different error states, but I figure I want to
know about anything other than OK. I kept the level as WARNING, as I don't
know if it's going to be useful until I get more experience with the real-life
disk error messages. I'm aware that disks sometimes die with no warning from
SMART. I've never used visual basic before, so feel free to improve on this.
I just cobbled together little snippets of code I found via google.
On the Nagios server side, the service and hostgroup definitions look like the
following:
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name check_smart_disk0
service_description SMART Disk 0
check_command check_nrpe!check_smart_disk0
check_interval 720
}
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name check_smart_disk1
service_description SMART Disk 1
check_command check_nrpe!check_smart_disk1
check_interval 720
}
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name check_smart_disk0
alias Windows SMART Disk0 status
members host1, host2, host3
}
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name check_smart_disk1
alias Windows SMART Disk1 status
members host2
}
I do have to know ahead of time the number of disks to check on the client.
Seems to be working so far.

But I dont' see how to turn this output into something useful for Nagios,
i.e. OK, WARNING, CRITICAL. It appears that the possible return values
for Status are one of the following: OK,Error,Degraded,Unknown,Pred Fail,
Starting, Stopping, Service, Stressed, NonRecover, No Contact or Lost Comm. I
would be happy with OK resulting in a Nagios OK and anything else being a
WARNING. Ideally, WARNING followed by the Status output from WMI. Is
there a way to do this using the NSClient filter and Max/Min syntax?
Bonus question: What do you do if you have multiple drives? I don't see any
obvious way to specify a drive to check.

Any idea why ?
Add -v to you test a analyze te response. There is no string welcome venu in
the response.

Re: [Nagios-users] Using nagios check_httpfor webbasedauthentication
Hi Joerge,
As you said welcome venu is not in the response in spite of giving
valid credentials. That is why I am wondering !
Even I gave the -v switch and found in the HTML response that welcome
venu is not found. And the response HTML is the same as signin.do. It
must have thrown me the login success page isn't it ?

Re: [Nagios-users] Using nagios check_httpfor webbasedauthentication
Actually, the response HTML usually ISN'T a login success page. Most of
the time, with form-based login, the user name and password will be
submitted to the same URL (in your case, signin.do). The Web server will
then return a page (typically, completely empty) with a status code of
302 (instead of the normal 200) and another URL in one of the headers. A
Web browser will interpret the 302 as redirect, please go to this new
URL instead. So when you click on the Logon button, the browser will
actually do not one but two (or sometimes even three or more) HTTP
requests. Only the last one would contain the welcome venu text.
I'm not sure if check_http is smart enough to follow redirects; my guess
is that it is not; it's designed to be very simple. You may have to
either rely on status code 302 (which will also happen when login
failed), or you will have to find (or write your own) a plugin that will
follow redirects.
