Re: [Nagios-users] graphing trends across hosts or services instead of a timeseries
2009/2/23 Rahul Nabar rpna...@gmail.com:
Thanks for the pointer. I just looked up ddraw and it does look promising.
Do you think you can share some of your ddraw configs with me? Or maybe if
you had any other notes.
No problem. Note that I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server and have
installed Nagios and PNP as far as possible according to the online
instructions (nothing fancy).
I installed drraw.cgi and drraw.conf under /var/www/cgi-bin/ . Not
sure if that's ideal but it works for me.
Most of drraw.conf stays as is as far as I remember, except the following:
# The Test area /var/www/drraw/data is just for my playpen. The
Live area /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata is where the PNP .rrd files
are.
# drraw will look recursively under these directories.
%datadirs = ('/var/www/drraw/data' = '[Test] ',
'/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata' = '[Live] ',
);
# make sure these exist and are writeable by the apache (www-data in
my case) user.
$saved_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/saved';
$tmp_dir = '/usr/local/drraw/tmp';
# If you don't care for authentication, set the following to 2.
# I've set this to 2 while I get it working, will tighten it down later.
%users = ( 'guest' = 2 );
# This is to enable a patch I found in the drraw mailing list. I
couldn't get it to work so disable it for now.
# pnp4nagios XML
$use_pnp4nagios_xml = 0;
I also edited /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to enable the
cgi-bin directory for cgi execution:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
Directory /var/www/cgi-bin
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Directory
I had to install some dependencies, I forget which ones, but I'm
pretty sure librrds-perl was one of them.
The web interface for drraw is fairly intuitive, except it took me a
few minutes to notice that in order to save a graph, you need to
specify a Graph Title in the Graph Options section!
hth,
Jim

[Nagios-users] lazy nagios und cygwin...
Hello, we are running nagios 3.0.5 under cygwin quite successfully in a relatively simple setup (most check results come via NRPE from NSCA++ clients on windows machines). Everything is well, but sometimes a awkward thing happens: nagios just stops doing anything. - It continues to run : the processes are visible in the Windows process table - It ceases to execute checks: checks just stop bein executed - It ceases to write anything to a logfile - It also ceases to write anything to a debug file with Debug=16 (last entry is nothing suspicous) After killing the nagios processes and restarting the windows service (nagios is registered as a windows service using the cygrunsrv facility) everything is back to normal. What I find most annoying is that even in the CGI output everything seems normal - just that the last checks are several hours overdue, but no alarm or other signal is shown. We are not sure if this is cygwin/windows related or if it is a problem which also happens in the normal unix environment. Comments would be very welcome. I will now turn up debugging further in the hope that then we see something interesting.

What I find most annoying is that even in the CGI output everything seems normal - just that the last checks are several hours overdue, but no alarm or other signal is shown. We are not sure if this is cygwin/windows related or if it is a problem which also happens in the normal unix environment I've never seen anything like it. Our main nagios installation has failed in the past -- the disk has filled up, preventing status updates, and the power has failed -- not the box UPS power, but the Aircon GS power, so we had to shut down as much as possible. If it happens again we wont be shutting down nagios, too essential. The Aircon should be powered by diesel generators, they didn't kick in (not nagios monitored you see!) Comments would be very welcome. I will now turn up debugging further in the hope that then we see something interesting. Cygwin != unix. At the core, windows deals with files and sockets in a very different way to linux and solaris (and probably other unixes) It wouldn't surprise me if the something changed with the status file. If you can't install a linux distro onto the box, run up a virtualbox environment to host nagios in. It wouldn't be perfect, but will probably be better than cygwin. -- 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] lazy nagios und cygwin...
This is gonna be hard to debug with out any debugging output. I concur, it is by no means normal for nagios to just stop doing anything without user intervention. For comparison, I'm running Nagios 3.0.6 from Debian with 34 hosts and 107 services. It has been running continually for 3 months, which is when I first brought it online. -lee On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 9:42 AM, Jakob Curdes j...@info-systems.de wrote: Hello, we are running nagios 3.0.5 under cygwin quite successfully in a relatively simple setup (most check results come via NRPE from NSCA++ clients on windows machines).

Re: [Nagios-users] lazy nagios und cygwin...
That's surprising, but good news. I hope you don't rely on it Oh, we do, after running it for half a year without problems the hard part was to get the standard check scripts running as they won't compile under cygwin. The main nagios executable compiles and runs nicely (hem... almost..) with --enable-cygwin . Interesting definition of quite successfully. Well, as said, the error did not appear always. It happens now and then, sometimes twice a day and then the system runs for weeks. I've never seen anything like it. I haven't and we are running other nagios installations too, on several different linux installations. Cygwin != unix. At the core, windows deals with files and sockets in a very different way to linux and solaris (and probably other unixes) It wouldn't surprise me if the something changed with the status file. If you can't install a linux distro onto the box, run up a virtualbox environment to host nagios in. It wouldn't be perfect, but will probably be better than cygwin. For reasons that are quite complicated in this case it is not an option to run nagios in a virtual box. I posed this question here mainly to see if this happens with unices also - if not, it is probably something for the cygwin mailing list. I just observed that after ending one of the two existing nagios processes with the windows task manager, things continued to run normally without a restart. So now I suspect it is either a blocked file access or some fork() problem- these sometimes happen with cygwin. I enabled the large installation quirks that should reduce the number of forks, let's see if that helps.

[Nagios-users] Understanding check_cluster
I need some help understanding the check_cluster plugin, please. I'm
using version 1.4.13 of the plugins on Nagios 3.10, all compiled from
source on 64-bit CentOS 5.2. We use VMWare ESX clusters, and I'd like
the hosts in Nagios that happen to be virtual machines to have one
parent instead of a list of parents comprising every ESX host in the
cluster. Recently, an ESX host was moved from one cluster to another,
so I had to change a lot of parents. If there's a better way to
represent VMs and their hosts, I'm open to suggestions too.
I don't have any problem running it as the Nagios user from the command
line and feeding it states, like so:
./check_cluster --host --data=0,0,2,1 --warning=0 --critical=1
CLUSTER CRITICAL: Host cluster: 2 up, 1 down, 1 unreachable
./check_cluster --host --data=0,0,0,0 --warning=0 --critical=1
CLUSTER OK: Host cluster: 4 up, 0 down, 0 unreachable
./check_cluster --host --data=0,0,0,1 --warning=0 --critical=1
CLUSTER WARNING: Host cluster: 3 up, 1 down, 0 unreachable
Adding --verbose just says check_cluster - Warning: start=0 end=0;
Critical: start=0 end=1 first.
However, if I try anything with the $HOSTSTATEID$ macro, everything is
always OK, even if I just make up host names:
[./check_cluster --host
--data=$HOSTSTATEID:duck$,$HOSTSTATEID:cow$,$HOSTSTATEID:chicken$
--warning=0 --critical=1
CLUSTER OK: Host cluster: 3 up, 0 down, 0 unreachable
I thought maybe macros work better when executed by Nagios, so I added
check_host_cluster command a host with that as its check_command.
define command {
command_namecheck_host_cluster
command_line$USER1$/check_cluster --host --label=$HOSTNAME$
--warning=$ARG1$ --critical=$ARG2$ --data=$ARG3$
}
define host {
use linux-server
host_name ProductionCluster1
alias Production Cluster 1
address 127.0.0.1
parents gisesx1,gisesx3,gisesx4
check_command
check_host_cluster!1!2!$HOSTSTATEID:foo1$,$HOSTSTATEID:foo3$,$HOSTSTATEI
D:foo4$
hostgroups nogsupport
}
The check_interval for the linux-server template is set to 3. I made
the assumption that it didn't matter what I set the address to since I'm
only interested in the state of other hosts, and it's not being
referenced in the check_command.
It shows up in the host information web page as being up, but I don't
have any hosts named foo:
Host Status:
UP
(for 0d 3h 41m 9s+)
Status Information: CLUSTER OK: ProductionCluster1: 3 up, 0
down, 0 unreachable
I had better luck with check_icmp, but it looks like it goes straight to
CRITICAL if one host is down.

Re: [Nagios-users] 1st post to the group, basic q ... I think
ok, I am closer, but still unclear on the check_command and the define

nagios from the cli;

Load : 4.37 4.27 4.20 : 4.37 4 : CRITICAL 4.27 4 : CRITICAL

so that works. Now in the command.cfg I have the following;
define command{

check_command
check_snmp_load_v1!netsl!3,3,2!4,4,3
}
I have played numerous times, that is the latest, I am trying to
understand where the $ARG variables are defined (and how). I assume
the $HOSTADDRESS is just by the server.cfg file, but not sure on
$USER7$ as well as push the other $ARG$ one's, becuase as you see from
the cli hand entering the info it works!
Can't wait till all this basic stuff is behind me!

There are good docs on how to pass arguments to a check command.
Here's my pattern to bring new service checks online without mucking
about with the running nagios process:
1) Find the plugin on the host running nagios
2) Run the plugin manually as the nagios user with the arguments you
would like. Inspect the output. Is it what you expect?
3) If it is what you expect, compose the check command and service
definition exactly as your manual run, only use macro substitution as
per the documentation
4) Save your configs and check them before loading the new objects.
nagios -v nagios.cfg will automate this check and inform you that
everything is okay before you "go live".
5) If everything's okay, reload the configuration and check the web
interface for the new service check status.

Re: [Nagios-users] 1st post to the group, basic q ... I think
Sorry for the quick update, but don't want people to waste time, or
they may change based on my update.
Well, reading the http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_commands.html#load
page more, I am trying to understand a bit more. So my commands.cfg
file now looks like this;
define command{
command_name check_snmp_load_v1
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C
community -T netsl -w 3,3,2 -c 4,4,3 -C community
}
and the server.cfg file looks like this;
define service{
use local-service ; Name of
service$
host_name bigbird
service_description Current Load via SNMP
check_command
check_snmp_load_v1!netsl!3,3,2!4,4,3
}
All seems to be working now, I need to understand the alarm levels a
bit (that's easy reading) as well as figure if I even need the !netsl,
etc. on the check_command line.
But thanks for the push's in the right direction

I need some help understanding the check_cluster plugin, please. I’m using
version 1.4.13 of the plugins on Nagios 3.10, all compiled from source on
64-bit CentOS 5.2. We use VMWare ESX clusters, and I’d like the hosts in
Nagios that happen to be virtual machines to have one parent instead of a
list of parents comprising every ESX host in the cluster. Recently, an ESX
host was moved from one cluster to another, so I had to change a lot of
parents. If there’s a better way to represent VMs and their hosts, I’m open
to suggestions too.
I don’t have any problem running it as the Nagios user from the command line
and feeding it states, like so:
./check_cluster --host --data=0,0,2,1 --warning=0 --critical=1
CLUSTER CRITICAL: Host cluster: 2 up, 1 down, 1 unreachable
./check_cluster --host --data=0,0,0,0 --warning=0 --critical=1
CLUSTER OK: Host cluster: 4 up, 0 down, 0 unreachable
./check_cluster --host --data=0,0,0,1 --warning=0 --critical=1
CLUSTER WARNING: Host cluster: 3 up, 1 down, 0 unreachable
Adding --verbose just says “check_cluster - Warning: start=0 end=0;
Critical: start=0 end=1” first.
However, if I try anything with the $HOSTSTATEID$ macro, everything is
always OK, even if I just make up host names:
[./check_cluster --host
--data=$HOSTSTATEID:duck$,$HOSTSTATEID:cow$,$HOSTSTATEID:chicken$
--warning=0 --critical=1
CLUSTER OK: Host cluster: 3 up, 0 down, 0 unreachable
I thought maybe macros work better when executed by Nagios, so I added
check_host_cluster command a host with that as its check_command.
define command {
command_name check_host_cluster
command_line $USER1$/check_cluster --host --label=$HOSTNAME$
--warning=$ARG1$ --critical=$ARG2$ --data=$ARG3$
}
define host {
use linux-server
host_name ProductionCluster1
alias Production Cluster 1
address 127.0.0.1
parents gisesx1,gisesx3,gisesx4
check_command
check_host_cluster!1!2!$HOSTSTATEID:foo1$,$HOSTSTATEID:foo3$,$HOSTSTATEID:foo4$
hostgroups nogsupport
}
The check_interval for the linux-server template is set to 3. I made the
assumption that it didn’t matter what I set the address to since I’m only
interested in the state of other hosts, and it’s not being referenced in the
check_command.
It shows up in the host information web page as being up, but I don’t have
any hosts named foo:
Host Status:
UP
(for 0d 3h 41m 9s+)
Status Information: CLUSTER OK: ProductionCluster1: 3 up, 0 down, 0
unreachable
I had better luck with check_icmp, but it looks like it goes straight to
CRITICAL if one host is down.

Yes, $HOSTADDRESS$ that is used by commands.cfg is defined in the
service definition as 'host_name'
$ARG1$, $ARG2$, etc are just that - in your definition above, $ARG1$ =
netsl , $ARG2$ = 3,3,2 $ARG3$ = 4,4,3 (and so on)..
(Not sure why you cannot execute it via nagios but can do so by hand -
try running it as the nagios user using su - nagios -c command here
