[Nagios-users] Problems with nrpe and nagios 3
Good morning group! I am still relatively new to nagios and trying to implement nrpe with nagios 3 at my site. I believe I have everything setup correctly on both the nagios server and the client. When I try to use check_nrpe to run a script on the client side I am getting the error: nrpe[]: Error: Request packet had invalid CRC32. nrpe[]: Client request was invalid, bailing out... I am running the nagios server on solaris 9 and the client is running Redhat Linux WS 3 update 6. The version of check_nrpe is 1.9 but the version of nrpe is 2.12. I have the system setup to execute the nrpe daemon through xinetd on the linux client. The server_args line in the nrpe startup file under /etc/xinetd.d has the following arguments listed per a suggested issue on the internet asking to redirect standard error to /dev/null: server_args= -n -c path_to_nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd 21 /dev/null Also my only_from config is setup to allow the client to receive requests from the nagios server only. only_from = ipaddress_of_nagios_server Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

All runs very well, however now I've got to take the next step: How do I use this same Nagios server to monitor remote client networks using the NSClient? thanks, Mark Put simply, you monitor the remote systems in exactly the same way as you already monitor your local ones. I suggest you might also like to monitor the routers and switches which connect your remote sites to your local lan and set up the parent relationships appropriately too. Somehow I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at though. Is there something which is stopping you from simply doing this? If it's a firewall in the way for example, you'll need to enable whichever port numbers you're using to communiicate with NSClient. By default, NSClient uses port 1248. If you're using NSClient++ it uses port 12489 by default for NSClient connections and 5666 for nrpe. I'm not convinced Nagios is entirely suitable for monitoring ordinary desktop PCs, as people will usually turn them off and on whenever they like. There may be some value in receiving SNMP traps from them though and it might be useful to use it to test they have virus checker up-to-date and working. No doubt someone here will come back with some other reasons to convince me otherwise too.

Re: [Nagios-users] service dependency and escalations
Lori Adams wrote:
We are still running nagios 2.x.
I appropriated a spare desktop PC and practiced the upgrade there first.
There were a few changes in the nagios.cfg file that I needed to make,
but it was relatively painless.
Is it possible to specify a servicedependency and/or a service
escalation within a service definition?
I don't think so, but that's how I do things with host groups and
service groups. I have the dependencies and escalations defined in
separate config files, but wildcards let me have one service escalation
definition, one host escalation definition, and one service dependency
definition.
For the dependencies:
I run into the situation that a service is dependent on another service
on the same host. Even though this host is in a hostgroup, I can’t use
the hostgroup to specify the dependencies.
This makes the configs very messy and not easily templatizable.
Is something like this possible for the 3.x series?
I'm running 3.10 right now, and you can put a hostgroup in the
dependency definition.
I have hundreds of Windows servers monitored. Occasionally, the agent
gets starved for resources during backups or otherwise clobbered. That
used to cause a slew of notifications, since none of the checks worked,
but the host could still be pinged.
I set up a service dependency so all the services defined for the
Windows hosts are dependent on a check of the client's version number.
The client version is checked more often than the rest of the services.
There isn't a threshold: if it's not OK, the client needs to be fixed:
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_name dev_windows_servers,windows_servers
service_description Client Version
dependent_service_description *,!Client Version
execution_failure_criteria w,c
notification_failure_criteria w,c
}
I use a wildcard to get all the services on the host, but since Client
Version is also one of the services assigned to the
(dev_)windows_servers hostgroup, I had to add the !Client Version
exception. That's the entire contents of my servicedependencies.cfg
file, though.
For the sake of completeness, here is how I defined the escalations I
needed:
define serviceescalation {
hostgroup_name windows_servers,Agentless_Checks
service_description *
contact_groups +nogmgr
first_notification 3
last_notification 0
}
define hostescalation {
host_name *
contact_groups +nogmgr
first_notification 3
last_notification 0
}

Re: [Nagios-users] monitoring remote networks
Mark Weaver wrote: How do I use this same Nagios server to monitor remote client networks using the NSClient? As others have already pointed out, fundamentally, it doesn't matter whether the client is on the same network segment, or behind a router. However, in reality, when you are talking about a remote network, most of the time you are actually talking about a network that has one or more firewalls in front of them. Very often, you have a firewall from your local network to the Internet, and a second firewall from the Internet to the remote network. And firewalls indeed will interfere with with Nagios. Severely. There are several options for dealing with that: - Establish a VPN between the local and the remote network. Obviously, you can only do that when the two networks completely trust each other. Also, if you have several remote networks connecting that way, you may inadvertently open security holes between two remote networks. - Establish an SSH tunnel that just forwards the NRPE requests from the local to the remote client. Requires that the remote client trusts you enough to establish an SSH connection. Also requires that you have a way to monitor the tunnel, and reestablish it if it goes down. - Open the appropriate ports on the firewalls to allow NRPE traffic through. You don't want to do that - monitoring information can be quite sensitive, and you don't want it traveling over the Internet in plain text. There may be more ways to deal with the firewall problem. The way I solved it is by writing a wrapper around NSClient++ that uses NSCA (i.e., passive checks) instead of NRPE, and then wraps the NSCA packages in HTTPS. It's primarily for my own in-house use (which is why the documentation leaves to be desired), but it is an open source project on SourceForge; look for the project name tntmonitoring. -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Find the Uncommon: Expert Solutions for a Network You Never Have to Think About Office: 866-642-7116 http://www.4nettech.com This e-mail and attachments, if any, may contain confidential and/or proprietary information.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE return values

Any Error's will prevent nagios from starting. That's a pretty common
convention for daemons. You must fix the three configuration errors
above before nagios will start.
For the first two errors, you have host{} and service{} definitions
that reference other definitions named 'generic-host' and 'generic-
service'. They do not exist in a cfg file that you've told nagios to
load. Use grep to find which file they exist in and make sure it's
listed as a cfg_file in nagios.cfg.
For the last error, nagios has been told to listen for external
commands but is unable to create the 'file' needed to do that under /
usr/local/nagios/var/rw. Does that directory exist and is it owned and
readable/writable by the nagios user? If you installed from source, I
believe the make command to do that is 'make install-commandmode' from
within the nagios source tree, or you can just create the rw directory
(but not the nagios.cmd file) and give it nagios ownership and rwx
permissions.

I've confirmed that port 5666 is open and xinetd is running: /usr/local/src/nrpe-2.12/src root# ps waux|grep xinet|grep -v greproot 29066 0.0 -0.027484308 ??

Re: [Nagios-users] Stuck on NRPE for OS X Server
If I'm reading this correctly, the line about NRPE daemon cannot be run as user/group root! is directly from the source code of NRPE. Its not an xinetd thing. I've confirmed that xinetd is running and listening on port 5666. I tried changing the owner/group from nobody:nobody to another unprivileged user, but it didn't work. Same results. It appears that despite my configuring the /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg and the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe files to use a user other than root, it still tries to start it as the root user and thus when an incoming connection comes in, it gives the NRPE daemon cannot be run as user/group root! error. Any thoughts on how to rectify this? Since NRPE is working fine on Linux, is this just a Mac OS X thing? Any help would be immensely appreciated.

On a Mac, your xinetd is a bolt-on over the launchd that's there by default;
you've obviously got it running. Since you're in /etc/xinetd.d/something,
you need to cnfigure a different username via xinetd's config. Look for a
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file, or similar, containing the config for your nrpe
service. I tend to grep for the port number in order to find the file.
Remember to check /local/*
The time service has an example with juicy comments:
service time
{
# This is for quick on or off of the service
disable = yes
...
...
# External services must fill out the following
# user=
# group =
...
...
}
Take a look there, see if you can choose a better username and/or group and
if your port of xinetd honours it. I don't know if you have a nrpe user, or
run it as nobody.
A better option would be a proper launchd config, allowing you to shutdown
xinetd if you're installing it there for this purpose only, but then it's a
Mac-only thing, and would be more difficult to maintain for non-Mac people.

Re: [Nagios-users] Host checks instead of service checks
Using check_dummy with a service check titled No Services is exactly how we are doing this here. We have a number of hosts which we are really only interested in if the machine is running or not - so check_icmp is specified as the host check, and No services as the only service check. You are right, however, in that all these No Services show up in the service status list. If you don't want that, about the only way I can think of is to not associate any services with the host, and simply ignore the warnings you get about that when running nagios -v. This does cause some display issues, however (hosts without services tend to not show up in various screens) - thus the reason I opted to add the No services service. --- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician II Frontier Flying Service Inc. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7250 x293 --- On Mar 16, 2009, at 9:34 AM, Deborah Martin wrote: Folks, Whilst using check_dummy as a service check does resolve the pre- flight warnings, it's not the solution I think I'm looking for. The total number of service checks now includes the dummy checks which i've chosen to always exit as UP so that it doesn't show up as a service problem - which to me doesn't sound like the right way to do this. I want all service checks to be useful service checks rather than have checks which would need to be ignored as they don't return anything useful as with check_dummy - I wouldn't ever use that check in any Nagios SLA reporting. What I really want to do is the following : Hosts -- ssh check -- When CRITICAL alert under Host problems only. The docs show a distinct difference for behaviour between Nagios 2.0b4 and Nagios 3.0.6. From Nagios 2.0b4, under Host Definitions:- check_command: This directive is used to specify the short name of the command that should be used to check if the host is up or down. Typically, this command would try and ping the host to see if it is alive. The command must return a status of OK (0) or Nagios will assume the host is down. If you leave this argument blank, the host will not be checked - Nagios will always assume the host is up. This is useful if you are monitoring printers or other devices that are frequently turned off. The maximum amount of time that the notification command can run is controlled by the host_check_timeout option. From Nagios 3.0.6 check_command: This directive is used to specify the short name of the command that should be used to check if the host is up or down. Typically, this command would try and ping the host to see if it is alive. The command must return a status of OK (0) or Nagios will assume the host is down. If you leave this argument blank, the host will not be actively checked. Thus, Nagios will likely always assume the host is up (it may show up as being in a PENDING state in the web interface). This is useful if you are monitoring printers or other devices that are frequently turned off. The maximum amount of time that the notification command can run is controlled by the host_check_timeout option. The difference is highlighted in RED. So on changing the ssh check from a service to a host definition (to prevent PENDING on the hosts), the pre-flight warnings now complain there are no services associated with the hosts. On big systems here (100 nodes+) this makes the pre-flight output really unreadable and not really accurate as surely we should be able to choose whether something is a host check or service check but not have to define BOTH! Ultimately, I just want to filter SSH check problems to appear under Host problems rather than under Service problems so users can easily spot other service problem issues and not have to trawl through 100's of lines of output in the web interface. Believe me, Nagios web interface users can be a fickle bunch! A switch to tell Nagios to not complain about this would be really useful unless anyone thinks of a good reason why this would be a bad idea. any help / pointers would be appreciated, even if it's to tell me politely how stupid i'm being - I can take it! regards, deborah From: Deborah Martin [mailto:deborah.mar...@kognitio.com] Sent: 16 March 2009 15:34 To: 'Richard Quintin' Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Host checks instead of service checks Thanks Richard.

Old message, but I had the same problem. check_jmx was built using Integer's for numbers and the Java Integer type is not able to handle values larger than 2^31-1(2147483647.) When you pass a value larger than this NumberFormatException is thrown. I have no idea who the original author is, but the source code was with the bundle I downloaded so I've updated it to use a Long rather than an Integer and values up to 2^63-1 are now supported.
