Re: [Nagios-users] How to receive notification alert by sms to mobile phone using Nagios
2009/3/11 tsedendorj oyunbat t_oyun...@yahoo.com: I'm new one in Nagios system. I work in mobile cellular operator company. And I need to know is there any chance to get notification alert via sms to my mobile phone when BSC or HLR equipments go down or stop working? Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to sms center. Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the usual way and have them converted to SMS. It's extremely easy to set up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we don't know about it! Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can recommend other options.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Windows hosts...
Hello, DISCLAIMER! I am (BTW) the author of NSClient++ so I am pretty biased... I did a presenation on windows monitoring at netways nagios conference last year where I presented my views on the various options avalible for windows monitoring (slides can be found (in .pptx) http://nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/conferences/nnk-2008 ) and my conclusion was the following (see below). There is also (if you want) some more details on the various options in the powerpoint slides (and if you want I can email you if you cant read the ppt) this is just the ending summary. Conclusion: I would use either: * NSClient++ * NC_NET I would not use (unless I have a specific reason): * SNMP - Complex to use * NSClient - Old and outdated * NRPE_NT - Hard for some (simple) checks * OpMonAgent - I dont see the benefit * Agentless WMI - Limited functionality // Michael Medin I'm a UNIX and network guy, but since Nagios is my task, I also have to add the Windows servers to Nagios. The network tests are fine, but I'm curious which is the best solution for monitoring local items on a Windows server (2000, 2003, and 2008). Here's what I think the options are: Use check_nt with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Net Use check_nrpe with NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NRPE_NT Use check_ncnet with NSClient, NSClient++, OpMon Agent, or NC_Ne Use NSCA-Daemon with NC_Net Note: I'm interested in screwing with WMI... NSClient appears to be old, but stable and well known. However I see it has good support for NT4 and 2000 and 2003 R1, but not 2003 R2 and I don't see anything about 2008 Server. NC_Net looks current and well developed. NSClient++ seems to have NSClient compatibility, but is more current and supports NT4 thru 2008. It looks like I already have check_nt as part of a default 3.x installation. NRPE_NT also seems to have been around for a bit and stable. NSClient++ seems to have its own, native NRPE support. What are your opinions of the best combination to A) get the best overall support and B) have the least impact/installation on a Windows server? I want something current and currently developed with 2008 support, but I also want stability and the least work possible. Presently I'm using NRPE for my local linux/UNIX servers, so I'm inclined to give NRPE a try, but I'd also like to avoid loading plugins on the Windows client if I can. I'm leaning towards NSClient++ with check_nt, but I'm not sure this is the best solutions. Thoughts, opinions, and ideas are requested... -- A.

[Nagios-users] Layer 2 connectivity awareness?
In the course of my learning (just starting out) how to work with Nagios I have found that it isn't aware of layer 2 connections. In other words, if I have 2 switches with a trunk between them Nagios doesn't seem to provide me a way to either note that manually on the map nor does it seem to be aware of that type of connectivity. The same applies to servers, there doesn't seem to be a way to identify which switch a server is connected to. Now I admit this might be due to my limited knowledge of the product so I ask the members here.

[Nagios-users] Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing error
I inherited a Nagios system and I am by no means an expert in its configuration, so I apologize in advance. What I have been seeing for the last few days is that some of the services I'm monitoring are returning the following error for every host: (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing) Some services are performing checks just fine, but others (most importantly check_ping) give the above error. I've tried googling this and gotten some ideas about file permissions and making sure the Nagios.cfg file points to the directory where the plugins are located, but I can't seem to get this fixed. This all started when I was using the Fruity interface to make some host changes and upload them to Nagios, I'm not sure if something got corrupted. The Nagios service starts up without any errors. Any ideas?

I have come up with the below, which sows me unacknowledged critical issues from unacknowledged hosts, but I also want to see (on the same screen) unacknolwedged hosts that are down. Has anyone come up with the right combo of numbers? Or come up with a different way to show this?

Re: [Nagios-users] How to receive notification alert by sms tomobile phone using Nagios
A combination of the parents, hostgroups, and escalation. I'll post my configs later, but once you have confirmed that SMS is setup and working (make sure that for every email alert, you also get an SMS alert), then you define your network topology and put them into hostgroups. In my case, I have a hostgroup of network-core which includes my core routers, firewalls, Exchange server, Exchange storage, and the switch connecting the Exchange system with the firewall. I then have a contactgroup of the SMS addresses of three key people (myself included). If any of those device fail, Nagios sends notification via SMS. If anything else fails, it goes via emails. The kewl thing is I'll often sleep through emails, but if I get an SMS, I know something serious failed and I force myself to get up... Additionally, I tend to define a sanity check: a ping to yahoo and http to MSN and non-caching dns query of Google. If all sanity checks fail and are not resolved within 4 hours, then through escalations, an SMS is sent to the manager of the support team at our ISP as we likely have a bandwidth down issue.

In other words, if I have 2 switches with a trunk between them Nagios doesn't seem to provide me a way to either note that manually on the map nor does it seem to be aware of that type of connectivity. The same applies to servers, there doesn't seem to be a way to identify which switch a server is connected to. Now I admit this might be due to my limited knowledge of the product so I ask the members here. Am I correct in this assessment? This isn't really what nagios does.. You might want to looks at something like opsview if you want a picture of your network like that. Also, fwiw, I think what you're really asking for is a layer 1 map if you want to know what host is plugged into what port - layer2 would be like what host is on a particular broadcast domain. I think most people give up on the nagios map pretty quickly, or at the most setup a few partent/child hosts and leave it at that. .r' -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

Parent-child relationships are useful to get a bigger picture of points of failure, for example if a web proxy has 5 app servers behind it, 6 hosts will go down if that proxy fails. -lee -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

Re: [Nagios-users] showing critical problems and host downs
2009/3/11 rko...@gmail.com: Folks, I am almost done with creating a NOC using Nagios as it's primary event issue engine. however, one of the last things I have on my task list I have not been able to figure out! I want to be able to show my unacknowledged critical problems AND unacknowledged downed hosts. I have come up with the below, which sows me unacknowledged critical issues from unacknowledged hosts, but I also want to see (on the same screen) unacknolwedged hosts that are down. Has anyone come up with the right combo of numbers? Or come up with a different way to show this? Thanks ahead of time. ../../cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=allservicestatustypes=16hoststatustypes=3serviceprops=8hostprops=32 I couldn't find a way around that one myself either. I simply make sure that every host has at least one active-check (not passive) service. The simplest is to make sure you ping (as a service check) everything which wouldn't otherwise have an active service check configured. I tried putting two screens on one page using frames and having one above the other, but that was less than satisfactory - if the top frame had lots of alerts on it, the bottom frame would get shoved below the visible screen. There are myriad alternative front-ends for Nagios. Maybe one of those will do what you want it to?

[Nagios-users] NSClient++ and .Net
If I recall, Windows 2000 Server didn't include .Net, but you could install it. Windows 2003 Server included .Net 1.x, but you could additionally add .Net 2.x. Now it seems that Server 2008 includes .Net 2.x by default and you can install .Net 3.x, though MS finall got smart and just did one big rollup package so you don't have to have .Net 1.x and 2.x both installed, etc. So my question is this: right now we're mostly Server 2003, but migrating to Server 2008. NSClient++ 4.x requires .Net 2.x, but will it work with .Net 3.x on Server 2008? Anyone know? Anyone tried? Thanks, -- A.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSClient++ and .Net
NC_Net is the client that uses Dot Net framework.
