[Nagios-users] Issue with debugging plugin
I have an snmp plugin that when ran at the cli works, when setup as a check works for all other hosts, and in only in some scenarios works for this one problematic host. I turn up debugging in the nagios.cfg but it doesn't show what exactly is happening when it executes the check. Is there any way to see what its actually executing and the full return so I can try and figure out what is going on?

Re: [Nagios-users] Issue with debugging plugin
Is there any way to see what its actually executing and the full return so I can try and figure out what is going on? Sorry guys, missed the FAQ: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=162 But I think there is an error and I also have an issue with it. The FAQ suggests #!/bin/sh echo `date` /tmp/debug_check_http_plugin echo $* /tmp/debug_check_http_plugin /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http $* which I think should have an after the first $*, not two spaces. Also, I am using this with an snmp plugin, and when I setup my service with an argument of !Long Phrase with many words it gets executed properly (I found my issue) but when the debug check script runs it, the original plugin only uses the first word when the last line of the script executes? Something to do with the way in which nagios versus the shell processes the string of cmds? Any ideas on this one?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios 3.0.6 Fails to play sound in browser!
2009/1/9 faris farisli...@yahoo.com: Hi, I am using Nagios 3.0.6 OS : RHEL4 Update 4 Problem: after configuring nagios and when accessing it from a client mechine (winXP) firefox or IE browser, nagios fails to play sound when there is an alert. but if i degrade nagios to a nagios version 2.x sound problem is gone! can anybody tell me how to fix this issue in nagios 3.0.6 and succefully play alert sound, which is currnetly the stable release. I don't use the sound alerts myself so am not 100% sure, but I think there may be a clue in the changelog at http://www.nagios.org/development/history/nagios-3x.php [quote] 3.0.5 - 11/04/2008 * Security fix for Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) bug reported by Tim Starling. --* Sample audio files for CGIs removed from distribution * Fix for mutliline config file continuation bug * Minor fix to RPM spec file * Fix for AIX compiler warnings * Minor sample config file fix * Added documentation on CGI security issues [/quote] hth, Jim -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
Re: [Nagios-users] NDOutils and Nagios startup speed
2009/1/29 Mathieu Gagné mga...@iweb.com: One way to speed up Nagios start when using NDOutils is to tweak event_broker_options. Here is my new configuration, based on constants defined in include/broker.h: # BROKER_EVERYTHING 1048575 # -BROKER_TIMED_EVENTS 2 # -BROKER_SERVICE_CHECKS 4 # -BROKER_HOST_CHECKS8 event_broker_options=1048561 I personally don't care about raw host/service check results and internal scheduling. It's already available in nagios.log and don't need to access such data remotely. Also host/service status are already available in nagios_hoststatus and nagios_servicestatus. There's probably more to disable. That's interesting. I've been disabling some of the data_processing_options in ndomod.cfg as listed in ndomod.h instead up until now. I should have probably done what you recommended and changed the event broker options as that's earlier in the process. I just tried like you said - the time saving looks the same but it does make more sense to do it your way as it's closer to where the data starts from. I have tinkered with some of the settings in ndo2db.cfg for how long to keep data for (I only ever really need the most recent data myself). So I now have: # Keep timed events for 24 hours max_timedevents_age=1440 # Keep system commands for 24 hours max_systemcommands_age=1440 # Keep service checks for 24 hours max_servicechecks_age=1440 # Keep host checks for 24 hours max_hostchecks_age=1440 # Keep event handlers for 24 hours max_eventhandlers_age=1440 This helped hugely on my old Nagios 2 server. I confess I didn't take comparative timings when I changed these on my Nagios 3 server. I just tried adding those indexes you recommended in another post, but it made little or no difference in my setup, probably because my tables are so small now anyway! I have no doubt that if I hadn't shrunk those tables the indexes would make quite a difference. What I'm wondering now is whether it would help if I moved the ndo2db process off my Nagios server and on to my database server (currently ndo2db lives on my Nagios server and connects to the database on the remote db server). Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

Re: [Nagios-users] added PNP in the default mode; how serious is the performance degradation to warrant a switch to the bulk mode?
2009/2/5 Rahul Nabar rpna...@gmail.com: So, I finally succeed in configuring PNP for Nagios (whew!!)! It's been a long bloody battle but I think I eventually won! :) I've just added PNP performance graphs to my 4-switches for now. Am a bit hesistant about adding it to all my 300 hosts due to all the caeveats about performance and PNP in the default mode. Any other PNP users? How many services / hosts are you running PNP performance graphs on? How is your performance? Have you been forced to switch to the bulk mode already? A lot depends on how frequently you collect your data. If you gather performance data for ten services on each of those 300 hosts every minute you're probably asking for trouble, but if you only gather a couple of metrics from each host every 15 minutes, that's not likely to break anything. If you add PNP to all of your 300 hosts and your Nagios server struggles, I'd definitely consider whether you can reduce your check frequency and still have all the information you need before messing about with bulk mode. I have implemented bulk mode, but only on the local server. My four-cpu system is coping okay with 1500 or so rrd files, but a lot of those are updated using checks at 5 minute, 15 minute or even less frequent intervals. I don't think implementing bulk mode locally made a great deal of difference but expect that offloading the processing to another server would make a huge difference if I ever get around to doing that. If you're worried about performance, I'd also maybe look at how efficient your plugins are. If you're running a large number of checks at frequent intervals using inefficient plugins this can have a marked detrimental effect on performance.

Re: [Nagios-users] Greetings. Anyone using Oracle Grid Control to send alert data into Nagios?
2009/2/19 jim.me...@co.hennepin.mn.us: I'm looking to have Oracle grid control send alert data into Nagios. Thus far I've only been doing things via NRPE, as it's a fairly small monitoring structure. I was wondering if anyone was interfacing to Oracle grid control, what information you were getting from it and how you were getting that information into Nagios. And if anyone is using an event handler in conjunction with this, what sorts of things are you using event handlers for? James Melin Sr. Systems Software Programmer Hennepin County Mainframe Services 612-348-7147 Never used that application, but if it has support for SNMP (I believe it does), you can write a script to collect data with snmpget (snmpwalk will give you a list of all you can extract from the agent). Nagios can also work with SNMP traps.
